* Turning to the book of Matthew chapter 13 today, we've ended our series on the book of life. That's the end of that series. I pray that you were blessed by it and that you learned from it. But today, I want to wrap up some things for you and tie a bow around them. Matthew 13, we'll start at verse 10. Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to them in mysteries?" He answered and said unto them, "Because it's only been given for you to know the secrets of the kingdom of Yahweh.
* But to them, it's not given." Let's read verse 11. He said unto them, "It's been given to you to know the secrets of the kingdom of Yahweh. But to them, it has not been given." Verse number 13. "That is why I speak to them in parables. Because seeing, they do not see. And even when they're listening, they do not hear.
* Nor do they understand." By the way, who is the they in that story? The church. Israel. Anyone in the church is Israel. And Yeshua was speaking not to sinners. These were Jewish commandment-keeping people. I want you to think about this. They were all in the church. I'mma say it to you, grab it. Yeshua was not preaching to evil sinners.
* These were Jews. And they all loved God. To the level that they knew how to love God. And so, Yeshua would come and preach to them sort of like I did at the AWCF. He just preached to them so that they wouldn't find out what he really believed. Oh, he called it preaching. Yeah, I just preached to them. And the disciples said, "Then why do you not tell them what you're really trying to say? Why are you messing with them people? Talking about this and that like I did AT THE AWCF.
* WHY ARE you preaching that way and not coming out just telling what you believe?" And Yeshua said, "They have ears and they're listening, but they're not allowed to hear me. They're not allowed to hear me. Why? Because the only way that you can hear, according to John 6:44, is if the spirit draws you. Everybody else can listen, but everybody can't hear.
* You may be seated. I'll give you a prime example of that. Yesterday, I was with Let me give you a prime example. Now, I hope this doesn't sound the way it's going to sound. It's going to sound a little braggadocious. There are people that set their clock every week to hear what I have to say. There are total real total fans that that literally they set their clock to hear my voice.
* Yesterday, I sat at a table filled with people that I love. My family. My cousins, they invited us to come to New Orleans because my cousins had I've not seen them in a while. And we always have the grandest of times and we have a wonderful we laugh from the moment we see each other. We just start laughing. That's all.
* We just We're the biggest cut-up family. We all over-talk each other, you know, and nobody gets a word in edgewise and you know, it's just Right? None of them set their clocks to hear what I have to say. As a matter of fact, they still don't comprehend what we're building here. I told him yesterday at the table, I said, "I'm 30,000 views away from another viral video, million eyeballs.
* I have a million eyeballs that want to hear what I have to say, but the ones at that table couldn't care less what I had to say." And I'm bringing up a point. I could let that hurt me, frustrate me, sidetrack me. But not one time yesterday did I ever try to say anything beyond something stupid. Seriously. I had to talk stupid.
* My wife said, "Yeah." Cuz I was. I was talking You'd have been embarrassed of your pastor. When I'm with my family. We was just talking stupid stuff, you know? And And And I thought, "I'm having to talk on a stupid level to keep from offending anybody." Right? Now, why didn't I I Now, some stupid people would have tried to bring the message to that table.
* Some stupid believer would have tried to say, "Hey, by the way, do y'all know what happens to the dead? Hey, do you know what the kingdom is all about? You don't understand. Yeshua set a principle that we need to understand. And today, I've come to teach you a message entitled the mystery of the mystery." Now, if you've been with FHM for very long, we began about 11 years ago in 2014.
* Elder Connelly, at that time, if you go back and watch those videos, we had a lot of truth 11 years ago. We had the Sabbath, the holy days, Israel identity, the message of the kingdom. And we had the plan of the ages. Now, I want to show you something. But 10 years later, here we are and every sermon we outgrow what we knew.
* How do you have 10 years of preaching and you've not preached anything twice? How does that happen? 10 years later, every single sermon that I preach feels like another key that unlocks another door, another curtain pulled back. Why has Yahweh chosen to unveil his plan piece by piece? Isaiah said it best when he said, "Here a little, So today, I want to reveal to you the mystery behind the mystery.
* I want to tell show you why Yahweh is unveiling truth in order, in sequence, and why he's giving us breadcrumbs and puzzle pieces. And here's your answer. Because the mystery of God is not for the curious, only the consecrated. Amen. God doesn't like curious eyes. I'll never forget when God told me not to go live during the praise and worship anymore.
* Now I know why he don't like curiosity. He likes consecration. And then I went back to the sound booth this morning. The second song was playing. And I asked Elder Shipley, I said, "What are you playing next?" He said, "Nothing." He said, "What do you want me to play?" I said, "I don't know.
* I'm just standing here." I said, "I don't know." And I begin to thinking, he's looking he's leaned over waiting for me and I'm like, "I don't know. I don't know." I said, "Play Sister Ruth." And Sister Ruth came on and said, "The mystery of the mysteries." Hallelujah. He said, "I will reveal unto you the mystery of the mysteries.
* " And that was the very title printed on this sermon from last night, the mystery of the mysteries. And then she began to prophesy, this was 20 years ago, and said, "Say not, say not that I am but a child, for I will reveal unto you the mystery of the mysteries." And then she began to say something else.
* She began to say, "I will arise." And when I get to the end of this message today, you'll know exactly what she was saying and why God told me to play that to show me that he speaks through the ages the same word to the people that's hungry for the word. Hallelujah. Sister Ruth spoke this morning from a grave what the Lord spoke to me word for word last night before I went to bed.
* He said, "I will reveal to you the mystery of the mysteries." Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah. Yes, sir. The mystery of the mysteries. Your Bible is a book of mysteries. Now, when we say the word mystery, it's the Greek word musterion. And it doesn't mean something you can't figure out like a mystery. It's the word secret. The only people that know secrets is the people that know secrets.
* Amen. It's not a mystery, it it's a secret. And therefore people think it's mysterious. But for those to whom the secret has been revealed, we no longer have a mystery. For example, the book that Brother Carter is reading right now. And I've got to repent cuz I made this book. I won't do another one like this.
* The print is too small. It's hard for people to read. We'll fix the next edition. But for the first time this man has read this book and it is open to him a secret. It was something he did not know. It was something he had never known before. Now to him it's no longer a mystery. So when we see the mystery of God, we think God's trying to keep something from being figured out.
* I mean, Scooby-Doo is what I think of when I think of mystery. You can't figure it out. But brothers and sisters, your whole Bible is a mystery. God never I'm fixing to say a mouthful. God never intended for anyone to be able to pick up this Bible and know what it means. It's got to be revealed by the Holy Ghost.
* If you don't have the Holy Ghost, it's not your book. It's not for you. And the only people that have the Holy Ghost are Israelites, believers. No one can pick this book up and understand it. It's not meant to be understood by the carnal mind. Yeshua spoke in parables not because he couldn't explain it plainly, but because he wouldn't.
* Why? Because truth is precious. Do you know nobody in my family knows what I believe? Cuz I don't talk about it. None of their business. All they're going to do is mock it and make fun of it. I don't go to family reunions talking about what I believe. Ain't none of your business what I believe. I won't embarrass God like that.
* I won't hurt his work like that to throw it out there in the midst of a bunch of carnal-minded people. Oh, no. No. But while I'm there, there may be somebody in the family the Holy Ghost is drawing. And here's how I'll know it. What'll happen? They'll say, "Hey, while nobody's listening, I heard you you believe.
* " Well, now what what is that? Now see, there's my door. God's placed that question in their spirit mind. And that is when we start the conversation. Amen. Because if not, you're going to embarrass God's holy work by throwing it on a gambling table with people that don't care about this precious truth. Don't ever talk about this message to nobody.
* You know how you talk about it to your family? If they're at your house, oh, oh, I'm so sorry. It's almost time for Sabbath. We'll be back in a few hours. But wait a minute. I thought we was going fishing. Oh, we are. After I put God first, we are going to go fishing. Oh, see, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR LIFE began to reveal the truth.
* Your mouth can never reveal truth. Only your life. Right before my grandmother died, she rode in my vehicle, that one outside, and she was sitting on the right side, and you know, my grandmother wasn't a Sabbath keeper. She was a one God baptism in the true name. She had it all, but not Sabbath. And me and her had had some run-ins over the Sabbath because she knows this Bible as good as I do, you know.
* And so we had had some confrontation over the years over the Sabbath. But before she died, my wife is a living witness. The Lord had my grandmother to sit in the back of my car and say, "You know, I've been thinking about that Sabbath day." And she said, "You know what it sounds like to me? That would be perfectly all right with the Lord." Amen.
* You see, she saw I wasn't giving IT UP. SHE SAW I was living it, what I believed. Amen. I want to train First Harvest to quit embarrassing the work of God by throwing things out that people cannot handle. It's just like if I preach in another church. LET'S SAY I preached in another United Pentecostal church or an Apostolic church.
* I'm not going in with Yahweh and Yeshua. I'M NOT DOING IT. WHY? BECAUSE I would rather not embarrass the work of God. And so as I'm preaching, I WILL SAY, "AND GOD SAID, YAHWEH SAID." WHY? This is a mystery, and you cannot force on others what God has not revealed. You know, it's the same way in the Jesus Name movement that I grew up in.
* We truly believed that God revealed to us there was only one legitimate baptism. In the name of Yeshua or Jesus in those days. But we literally would tell a Trinitarian you've been baptized wrong. You're not even saved. That didn't work out too good. You know what it did? It drove them away. You listen to me.
* If God reveals Jesus name baptism to you, go get baptized in his name and shut up about it and let somebody ask you about the hope that lies within you. Amen. You ain't got to go on your job THE NEXT DAY THAT'S ALL TRINITARIAN. I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT A TRINITARIAN NO MORE. I'M SO GLAD GOD DELIVERED ME FROM TRINITY. I'M GLAD I GOT BAPTIZED OUTSIDE THAT TRINITARIAN DEMON STUFF. AND everybody's Trinity.
* If they ask you how was you baptized, you better tell them. If they ask you. I've come to try to teach you Sunday going people believe they are keeping the Sabbath. Leave them alone and you keep keeping what God has revealed unto you. And one day y'all will be at lunch and you know what one of them will say, "Now I notice you go to church on Saturday.
* " Why is it see? Oop, there it is. Now now we now let's do this because now Yahweh has put that question in their minds. Hallelujah. Let's go to 1 Corinthians 2 and 14. 1 Corinthians 2 and 14. Do you know how most of you came to my ministry on Toto? It's not because I looked at the camera and said, "I'm so glad we don't have church on Sunday, bunch of Sunday going pagans.
* " No, no, all I said was I've got church tomorrow is the Sabbath. That's all I ever said. That's it. I never said Thank GOD WE DON'T GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY. NO, I just said, "Oh, it's almost Sabbath, I see." And suddenly people said, "It's almost what?" Something resonated in somebody's spirit. That word, hallelujah. That's how they all came. 1 Corinthians 2:14.
* But the natural man Now, what is the natural man? The one that's not under the influence of the Holy Ghost cannot accept the things of God. For they are foolishness to him. Nor can he understand them because they are spiritually discerned. That's why when people see us running around the church they do honestly think that we are the biggest geek squad dummies that they've ever met.
* You know why? You ever heard the old saying you'd have to been there? They wasn't there. Okay? They wasn't there. They don't know what lit your fire. Okay? That's why I tell pastors in this hour the greatest discernment knowing when to turn the camera, shut the camera off. Why? Because the world is watching and they do think that we're fools.
* When y'all see me doing the head jerk, turn the camera off of me. Right? When you see me having a seizure, turn the camera. The world don't understand that. And so if you had anything to say they're not going to listen cuz they truly do think you're a bunch of cooks. Therefore, what happens in these walls when we set this frankincense off, bring this bread out, light that menorah, the world has no business looking in here.
* None. This is a secret place. This is the Holy of Holies. Yahweh is protecting his work from the world. He don't want the curious. This is for the consecrated. That's what's wrong WITH TODAY'S CHRISTIANITY. THEY HAVE TURNED IT into a television show for the world. If you get carnal people WATCHING AND THOSE CARNAL people come in, they remain carnal and you have to have a carnal church.
* But when you close it off to the consecrated suddenly the work of God begins to be respected and honored and reverenced. I'm telling you if they'd have had TV cameras in the church I grew up in, honey ain't Vader got to jerking, ain't Libby Jane Sister Cox bro they would have called the they'd have called the health mental society on us.
* But let me tell you something. There was something being done in all that in the spirit. There was something being done in the spirit that you can only spiritually discern. When you see that head jerking on me, let me tell you what that is. That's me shaking off every heavy band. That's the Holy Ghost taking me, set me on fire and the world wasn't meant to understand that.
* When we run these pews, that's the sign. When we run these aisles, that's the sign of freedom. That's the sign of liberty. The world wasn't meant to understand this. And yet we bring cameras in, show it to the world and they sit there and literally watch it so they can laugh at God's work. And that's why the churches that have cameras now, they've lost the power of God and nobody shouts anymore.
* Nobody gets touched cuz they know the world's watching. And all they're going to do is make fun of you, laugh at you and make the word of God look insane. My Bible said the carnal man cannot understand. They don't understand prayer meeting. They don't understand putting somebody in a chair and everybody praying over them. They don't understand that.
* They don't understand falling out in the spirit. Now they'll go to a football game and fall out. They'll knock each other out. And that's okay. But in in the church the things we do in the spirit must be protected and shielded. The truth we have is not meant to force upon the world. God has an encryption just like a computer does.
* He encrypts his truth from any heart or mind that refuses to bow down to him. The word is veiled on purpose. The word is a spiritual vault. This book is a vault. And there is some treasures that you've learned in the last 4 years hidden in this vault. And listen to me carefully. The only way Yahweh It's a secret book.
* The only way he'll open the next page for you is if you have a certain key. The key of reverence the key of obedience and the key of fear will open this book. You got to have three keys to open it. You can read it, but you can't open it without three keys. Reverence, obedience, and fear. If you've got those keys, it's almost like on The Chronicles of Narnia when all the gears started turning and lining up.
* If you've got those keys, you will begin to hear click, click, things you never saw in it will begin to open. Talk, talk, talk. Suddenly, it begin literally God invites you in to find the treasures of the mystery of God. If he knows you're not going to obey it, he won't open it to you. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. If he's going to If he knows that the Sabbath is going to make you his enemy, because if you know the Sabbath and don't keep it, you've become the enemy of God.
* He's not going to make you his enemy on purpose. He's only going to know it when the fear of God is in your life and the love of truth and the reverence of truth. I want to explain it to where you can comprehend me today. If you're in First Harvest Ministries, you have been given access to the mystery of God, which was God in Christ and now Christ in you.
* No one explains that better than FHM. Nobody. In the world. We have opened the mystery of God to you. And therefore, you are now part Please pardon me, and I hate to have to use such worldly parables, but I'm going to have to today for you to comprehend what I'm trying to say. Everybody is scared. I'm going to say something today that people not going to like.
* Everybody's scared of secret societies. They have turned them poor Masons into demons. Some of the best people I've ever known was Masons. But go watch YouTube. The Knights of Columbus, secret society. Now, I don't join secret societies. I'm already part of one. It's called the House of Israel. Amen. I'm part of a secret society.
* Okay? Listen to me carefully. Just as weird to you, watch this. Let somebody take a clip of a Masonic ceremony and just show you a 2-minute clip of somebody walking in with handcuffs on their hands, I think is how one of them goes, and they're dressed in a black robe. And you All you see is that 2-minute clip. DEMONS.
* OH MY GOD. THAT'S HOW PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU WHEN THEY see a 2-minute clip of you shouting and dancing and worshiping the Lord. They think you just this weird. But what you don't know is that ceremony is a symbol of you surrendering from a boy to surrendering to responsibilities. The reason they wear those and they put a black robe on to surrender their submission to their Now, I'm not a Mason. Please don't go there.
* Never will be, but I'm trying to prove a point to you. Inside of these secret societies, they have a message they believe that they want to protect from the outside world that will not understand their symbolologies and their ceremonies. I didn't say they're good. I didn't say they're bad.
* I know nothing about them, and I don't care. But I'm making a bigger point. Don't miss the forest right now. I'm trying to tell you that within these secret organizations, there are secrets. How many's ever heard of the secret Masonic handshake? Let me see your hand. That's it right there. Okay? Now, yeah, right there. Now, I was told right there.
* You know, I was told they do that because that stops the blood flow and they can implant thoughts in your mind. Now, as weird as you think that handshake is, let me show you what the world thinks. Stand up when me and this man give each other a holy kiss. Let the world see that. The Bible command us to greet one another with a holy kiss.
* There are secrets in this house. There are ceremonies in this house. This morning, that ceremony of lighting the menorah, bringing the bread, the frankincense, those are secrets in this secret organization that's called the House of Israel. Consecrated. And I pray that nobody watching me right now misses the whole point because of the word Mason.
* I'm trying to tell you that there's a reason they are a secret organization. They do it to protect their message. The whole message of the Masonry and I don't care if you like them, don't like them. I don't care less. Please don't make me say that again. They believe that they have the secrets to turn boys into men.
* To make you responsible businessmen. But they believe there's things you've got to learn along the way. That's why you start off as an initiate. And you have to walk in blindfolded. Yeah. Weird to us, I agree. Weird to us. Ain't nobody going to blindfold me. I'm a grown behind man. That's why they'll never blindfold you.
* But they're teaching you that the path to manhood requires you to lose your own sight of yourself and to see your family, your wife, your children, and your duties. That's a ceremony THAT LOOKS WEIRD TO US. But they have a message behind it. And that's why no ONE'S ALLOWED IN THEIR MEETINGS. ALWAYS, LISTEN.
* They don't know what that higher power is, but they're looking for it. And the thing about it, brother and sister, IS THIS. NOBODY'S ALLOWED IN. HERE'S WHY. CUZ THE MINUTE YOU WALK IN, you see this big checkerboard in the middle of the floor. Looks like a big maze, and you're like, highway to hell. It's a symbol for whatever it is they believe.
* And you are not qualified to understand that. IT'S A PARABLE. BUT IF YOU HANG AROUND THE LODGE LONG ENOUGH, THEY WILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER DEGREE AND THEN ANOTHER DEGREE UNTIL YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF THE PARABLE. NOW, I got some people right now they can't get past the word Mason. That's how childish in their mind they are.
* Hear what the voice of Elijah is saying. GOD HIDES THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE not worthy of. Absolutely, thank you. All they hear. But brothers and sisters, it's so true. You make fun. You mock what you don't understand. See? Yes. Yes, ma'am. Right. Yes. Sure. His whole life, he didn't get Jesus, but he Right. >> I just I want to hear you preach spring that because
* >> Amen. Um You're welcome. Amen. Amen. And you know, sister, I've watched so many videos. I've watched so many videos of some of their ceremonies. And from the outside, I'm like, "My God, that's weird." That's what they think about you. My God, that's weird. They wear all white on Passover. That's so weird. They all drink out of the same what? That's weird.
* You're right. Because the carnal man cannot comprehend the things of God. Yahweh has his own secret society. It's called his world. It's his secret society. It's his secret world. And in that secret world, there is a lodge called the third temple. There's a grand lodge in his secret temple, his secret world. There's a grand master called the fivefold ministry.
* And it is a fraternity. It's not for everybody. It's not for the powerful, but for the pure. It's not for the elite, but the elect. Israel, ancient Israel, was the junior lodge. They had all the shadows. They had the rituals and the types, but not the fullness. But when Yeshua came, the divine society morphed into the ecclesia.
* Not cathedrals, not denominations, but the called-out, the initiated ones, and the contracted ones. I wish I could have preached that just then. Wish I could have screamed that one out. And y'all's world, there's a secret lodge. INSIDE THAT secret lodge is a secret family. And in that secret family, there is order.
* There is mystery. There is worship. There is the laying on of hands. There is the prayer with the anointing of oil. There are things the world I mean, think about it, children. Think about it. Just watch this. Just watch this. Brother, I'm dying with cancer. Oh, come here. Now, you healed of cancer. Y'all missed that, didn't you? Cuz you're asleep.
* THAT'S A MYSTERY. THAT'S A MYSTERY. A LITTLE DAB'LL DO YOU. ZAPPY, ZAPPY, DAPPY, DAPPY, YOU'RE HEALED. YOU JUST GOT HEALED. WHEN THE WORLD GETS SICK, they make a doctor's appointment. When we get sick, we go grab A BOTTLE OF OIL. IT'S A MYSTERY. IT'S A SECRET SOCIETY. SOMEBODY HAND ME A dollar bill. Who's got some money on you? Watch this.
* Anybody got a dollar on you? I'll pay you back, too. Give me a dollar. Watch this. Watch this. The world says, "I'm broke." And they put this in their pocket. In the SECRET LODGE, "I'M BROKE. LET ME BRING it and give it to the church." Anybody going to wake up today? Like really wake up and hear what I'm trying to tell you.
* We are a secret SOCIETY WITH STRANGE RITUALS. The world says, there was a lady in this church. I'm not going to tell you who it is. There was a lady in this church came here broke. Somebody gave her $70,000. She said, "I'll love it." Somebody gave her $70,000. This woman ain't got She ain't got a car. In the world, they tell her go put it in the bank.
* That woman said, "Pastor, would somebody just take all this money from me and use it for the work of God?" That's a strange ritual. Because when we're broke, there's a secret in this lodge that we found out that it's better to give than to receive. WE'RE A STRANGE LOT. The world's never going to understand why you spend your vacation money on the feast of Israel.
* When you could go to Florida. You could go to Aspen. You could I don't No, NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'm part of a SECRET IT IS WHAT IT IS. I'M PART OF SOMETHING THAT'S GOT A SET OF RITUALS THIS WORLD CANNOT UNDERSTAND. TODAY, you could be fishing. Matter of fact, the world says, "Hey, Saturday, let's go do something.
* " That's when you say, "Ooh, that whole day is full for me." Well, you said that last Saturday. I'm going to say it NEXT SATURDAY, TOO. WHY? BECAUSE I'M part of a secret society. AND OUR TELL THEM YOUR LODGE meeting's on Saturdays. See, I got to go put ON THE THE HOOD ON SATURDAY. I'M PART OF A secret society. Well, what are y'all doing there? Ooh.
* Sometimes we run on chairs. Sometimes we run around the aisles. We bring bread out and stick it up. And we burn incense and frankincense. And We pour oil on each other. And some people we knock some people out and they hit the floor. And And then somebody does a TED Talk for about 3 hours. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we got twinkling lights.
* And If we don't sound weird, who does? We're peculiar people. We're a royal nation. Hallelujah. Psalms 25 and 14 says, turn there. I love Psalms 25:14. The secret of Yahweh is with them that fear him. Who gets the secrets? What did I tell you the key was? Fear. The fear of God. When I was a child, we would make fun Now, we didn't mean nothing by it.
* Of all the sisters when they'd start shouting. We'd be laughing, you know. Boy, my grandma would catch me. And then I didn't laugh no more. She taught me to fear the things of God. Things that don't look right. Things when we go to screaming, "Why are you screaming while you're preaching?" You wouldn't understand it.
* You're too carnal-minded. You wouldn't understand I've got the same passion about God that you do about a cheerleader. And you're so carnal, you just cannot grab it. And that's not your fault. I'm not mad about it. I expect you. If you will expect people to make fun of you, the Masons expect people to do it.
* They've They've come to expect it. To be misunderstood or whatever they do. I don't care what they do. I'm making a point. If you get to the point where you expect to be misunderstood, it'll never bother you when you're misunderstood. You know, I'm just going to tell y'all this. There was a Facebook or YouTube meme or whatever going around a few years ago about George Bush Jr.
* and Sr. And uh in the video, they all go to California in the middle of the woods. And there's a big old owl. I don't know if anybody saw this meme or not. And they get out there and worship the owl at this Bohemian Grove. The people so stupid. I have been to that place. It is an outdoor theater where people from around the world go all year long.
* And George Bush happened to go one night. I've been there. IT'S AN OUTDOOR THEATER. BUT what we don't understand, we immediately conjure up things. Oh yeah, they had Ronald Reagan there they were there doing orgies in front of the owl. According to Facebook. Quit being afraid of what you don't understand. Quit turning everything into demons.
* I've I've been I've rode right by that grove. I know right where it is. It's open to the public. Well, you got to be part of a It's like a country club, but when you pay your hundred dollar dues, you can go in there. Anyway, I said all that to say, people will immediately fear what's different. Colossians 1:26.
* Colossians 1:26, even the mystery which hath been hidden from ages and from generations. But now is made manifest to his saints. Mark 4:11. Unto you it's given to know the mystery. But unto them that are without parables. Well, Pastor Vaughn, then who does God reveal them to? We just found out a moment ago, first of all, those that fear him.
* But according to Matthew 11:25, you have hidden these things from the wise and revealed them unto babes. I want you to go look at Isaiah 66:2. Getting ready to close in a minute. Isaiah 66:2. To this man will I look. This is Yahweh speaking. To this man will I look even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my word.
* That's who I reveal it to. Those that will tremble when they hear the next revelation. They will tremble. Now, bear with me. You may not want to leave just yet because I'm fixing to show you what I've been trying to get to all morning. The purpose of the mysteries of God. What is the mystery of the mystery? Why is there a mystery? 1 Corinthians 15:51.
* 1 Corinthians 15:51, quickly. There is a purpose in all the revelations you've been getting at FHM. There is a mystery of the mystery. Behold, I show you a mystery. Verse 51. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. Now, why is the mystery so important? BECAUSE WHEN GOD reveals the mystery to you, it means one thing.
* He's getting you ready for rulership in his kingdom. The only reason he's revealing these truths to you and not the world because you have been called into rulership. And therefore, he begins to open up to you what he didn't open up to the world or even the church at large. He said, but there is a mystery. Now, when will the mystery Revelation 10 and seven.
* The mystery, Minister Denisa, will soon very soon, there'll be no more mystery. Every ounce of it will be revealed. But when does that happen? Revelation 10:7. Read that. But when a voice comes forth. In the day Somebody say in the days of the voice. When the voice begins to sound that will restore all truth. Read.
* Of the messenger of the seventh church age. When you begin to hear a voice of the seventh angel. Which still Don't get stuck numbers. Seven is complete. When you begin to hear a complete voice that ties up all the loose ends. Oh, when you begin to hear the voice of a messenger of completion, a completion message, a perfecting message, a finishing message.
* Tell me what happens when that voice begins to sound. When he shall begin to sound When he begins to sound the mystery of Yahweh should be finished. It's over. It's finished. The mystery of Yahweh. And what is the mystery of Yahweh? God in Christ. But hold on. Hold on. Oh, Pastor, the church has always known that God was in Christ.
* No, they thought God was Christ. But anyway, hold on now. So, listen. Listen. Listen. The mystery was not God in Christ. It was the part that we never learned. Christ in every one of you. That was the voice we heard. That was the voice we heard. This ministry has taken Christ off the cross and we have put him in you.
* We have shown you that you are the duplication of Christ. The word Christian SHOULD MEAN CHRIST IN CHRISTIAN, CHRIST WITHIN. THE MYSTERY will be finished when a voice comes forth that not only puts God in Christ, but puts God in you. Oh God, help me. Shout out of our bus say. I want to reinterpret that verse for you. Let's retranslate that verse.
* Let's do it in the JSV version. John Shang Vaughn. Listen carefully. When you begin to hear a voice of a finishing message. Here's what that voice will do. It will not just make Christ part of the Elohim, but it will put you in the Elohim. >> That seventh thing you will not just put Christ on the throne, he'll put you on the throne.
* I wished I had a voice, I would preach the devil out of this. WE ARE IN THE VOICE OF SEVEN. WE ARE IN THE VOICE OF PERFECTION GLORY. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. If you didn't run, my God, it's because you my Lord, your wood ain't wet. Or your wood is wet. Brothers and sisters, if you truly believed what I just said, that you're in that message, you'd get over your stupid stuff.
* I said you'd get over your stupid stuff and rise up I will arise unto this calling, the mystery behind the mystery. Yahweh's not giving you these secrets to make you smart, he's giving you them to make you arise into your position as the Elohim. Boy, they're dead on Zoom out there, ain't they? Look at them. The only one alive is Elder Aaron and Sister Anna.
* Hallelujah, and Sister Vanessa, all the rest of them dead. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Let me show you something. This isn't just about getting saved. It's about being a part of the administrative order of the kingdom, the ruling class, the bride, the priesthood. Now, I really want to get into what the mystery is all about.
* Revelations 20:5-6, and I'm closing as soon as I feel like it. These shoes are getting tighter by the minute, my feet must be swelling. Verse chapter 20 verse 5 through 6 of the book of Revelation. Now, I really want to teach you this morning the mystery behind the mystery, why there is a mystery. Read. Amen. Revelations 20:5-6.
* But the rest of the dead live >> The rest of the dead. The rest of the dead. Tell your neighbor, I don't want to be in that number. The rest of the dead, read. Live not again until the thousand years were finished. >> All right, watch this. 1,000 years, the end of it, the beginning of it. The rest of the dead is over here.
* Right there. That's at the end. That is at the beginning of the eighth day. Now, according to the scripture, everybody, the rest of the dead does not get up until the end of the seventh day. Read. This is the first resurrection. This would uh read that part again. Hold on. Um the rest of the dead live not again until the thousand years were finished.
* >> Okay. This is the first resurrection. >> So, at the beginning of the thousand years is the first resurrection. The reason there is a mystery of God is to make sure he pulls you out of this resurrection to bring you in this resurrection. That's why there's a mystery of revelation and initiation and training for reigning.
* This resurrection requires no training. It just requires to be a human. Everybody you know, the saved and the unsaved are all coming up in that resurrection. The church is coming up right here in that resurrection. But Yahweh said the mystery of the mystery, the reason that I'm revealing my word to you through this ministry the way that I am, here a little, there a little, there's a reason I'm doing it, because little by little I'm moving you from this resurrection to this one.
* That's the mystery of the mystery. Read. Verse 6. Blessed and >> Blessed, somebody say blessed. But there's another word coming next. >> And holy >> And set apart. Amen. Blessed and set apart are who? Is he that hath part in the first resurrection. Blessed and set apart. But wait a minute. How, Brother Chino, do we get set apart? By the mystery.
* >> Right. Transforming us to God in us. >> Right. Not just God saving us, but God in us. And what will get you there is the mystery that you're learning every time you hear the voice. EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THIS MESSAGE, LITTLE BY LITTLE you're being moved to the blessed resurrection. Is that the end of it? Read. On such the second death hath no power.
* Uh-huh, on who? The first resurrection people, read. But they shall be priest of Yahweh and Christ. >> They, who are they? Somebody Only they will be priest unto Yahweh. Read. And shall reign with him a thousand years. Only these people. Only these people that have a covenant with God. Only Israel will rule and reign for a thousand years.
* If that were to happen today, Sister Denisa, if the Lord came today, which he won't cuz it's not Yom Teruah, but if it were, and he were to come today, I've tried to teach this and yet people are still so confused about it. Nothing changes except your body. The trumpet will sound. The whole world, they will have breaking news.
* They will think it's an alien invasion. They will turn their weapons to the Messiah as he returns. That's why the armies of the world are getting ready for this alien invasion. The Bible said Yah Yeshua will open his mouth and their weapons will melt. And then those of us that are alive at that moment will be caught up right above the earth in the middle of the air to escort the king to his kingdom.
* We will rise and meet the king as his bride, and there will be a wedding march as we come back to planet earth and set our feet on the Mount of Olives. And there won't be nobody that meets the king in the air that's not fit to be his wife. There won't be one person up there with one complaint. Not one gossiping spirit is allowed there.
* Not one disobedient rebellion, get it out of your heart cuz it's keeping you in the second. Keep playing games with this message. Keep acting like you're part of some local church. Keep acting you part of First Harvest Church. No, you're part of First Harvest. Learn the difference. We're part of the first harvest.
* That's why we don't allow any trouble in this church. We don't have time for it. The first resurrection, watch this, is the prize that your church never told you about. Oh, go ahead. Yes. Hallelujah. I want to read a scripture. You know, um I have family that are Masons. Some of them are good people, some aren't so good. Sure.
* But, um the high commander is called the illustrious potentate. Sure. Well, 1 Timothy 6:15. It says um speaking of Yeshua returning. Right. >> Which in his times he shall show who is the blessed and the only potentate. >> potentate. Amen. the king of kings >> He's the head of the lodge. >> and the lord of lords. Come on now.
* He's the head of the secret society. Amen. That's beautiful, Sister Denisa. Now, I want to show you something, children. These games y'all play, pouting, talking about each other behind their backs, I love you, but I want to tell you something. If you never give me another dime as your pastor, I'm going to tell you something.
* You ain't doing nothing but fooling yourself. You ain't going here. Ain't that it? You got an ounce of rebellion in your heart, you're not going there. That's the prize, not salvation. That is the prize that the church never told you about. And do you know why the church is so weak today? No one is trying to move from this resurrection to that one.
* Why? Because to move from this one to that one requires the mystery of God. It requires the voice. It requires the training. It requires shutting a church down and opening a kingdom training center. That's what it requires. When I tell people we're not a church, they don't comprehend me. We're not Go ahead and tell it.
* We're a secret lodge. That's what we are. And in here we're learning the mysteries of growth. WE'RE GROWING BEYOND OURSELVES. WE'RE GROWING BEYOND OUR SELFISHNESS. WE'RE GROWING BEYOND OUR BITTERNESS, OUR COMPLAINING, OUR PROBLEMS, TURNING INTO SOMETHING WE WERE NOT. AMEN. Acts 24:15. I'm going to show you something now. Brother Shufelt, I want you to pull up on the screen Blue Letter Bible.
* We're going to do a little word study. Acts 24:15. Remember this. Let me show you who's coming up in this resurrection. Citizens. This one is rulers. This is citizens of the kingdom. This is rulers of the kingdom. You have to choose which resurrection you want. The reason you don't understand why we keep Sabbath even though it's not a salvation issue.
* You don't understand why we ask our women to dress holy and modest even though it's not a salvation issue. Because we're so beyond stupid salvation. We're so beyond that. We got over not that Listen, salvation is free, it's by grace, it's nothing I can do of my own. But, the reason the way I was baptized matters is for the remission of the transgression against the covenant.
* So, when I'm baptized, it puts me back into the covenant. And only those in the covenant are going in the first resurrection. Now, that answers the question that I had all my life that I had a problem with. I believed in Jesus name baptism. Stronger than anybody. But, the part I didn't believe was that everyone else was going to hell. But, then that brings up another question.
* So, why preach it? I'll tell you why. It's called the first resurrection. The only way back into the covenant is in the name of the one that signed the covenant. You got to come back through the water and get back into the covenant circumcised in water. That answered all my all my word I was gone.
* Now, I knew why I had to preach it. Not for salvation, but for the remission of breaking the covenant of your sin. AND THAT BRINGS YOU BACK IN THE PERFECT COVENANT. That don't keep you in covenant. It brings you back to it. What keeps you in covenant now is going every Sabbath, hearing the mystery, putting your blindfold on at the door of the secret lodge, losing your own identity, losing yourself, BECOMING SOMETHING YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE ANYMORE.
* And now I just wonder something. Now I wonder Okay, Lord, I may have some people not understand it, but that's all I wonder the way Satan perverted the Mazzaroth, if that's what he did with the Masons. Against the initiation and the mysteries and that You know, that's what I wonder. Come on now. PERHAPS THE WHOLE TIME SATAN KNEW THAT GOD HAD an initiation program and a SECRET LODGE AND GRAND MASTERS.
* OH MY GOD FROM ZION. AND HE KNEW that God had to initiate you in water baptism, put a blindfold on you, MAKE YOU WALK THROUGH A MAZE ON THE FLOOR, AND COME INTO OBEDIENCE AND ALIGN BACK TO Because you were seeking after Yahweh. The Masons are seeking after A HIGHER POWER. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TELLING YOU? PUT MY blindfold on.
* So, I can forget who I am, who you are. I don't want to see you as Justina. I want to see you as the Elohim. I don't want TO SEE THROUGH MY EYES. I WANT TO SEE THROUGH HIS. PUT HANDCUFFS on me. Arrest me. See, sometimes when the Lord's trying to reveal things to me, I don't get it all at one time.
* Like he was talking to me about the Masons last night. I just got right then. I just caught and I I I Sometimes I have to walk through that. But, while I was preaching, the Lord showed me the Mazzaroth and the zodiac. Come on now. The polar opposite, but yet all coming from the original. Hallelujah. Woo. And they pay dues in the Masonic lodges like we pay tithes.
* And they have dinners like we DO ALL THE TIME. SEE? OH, YEAH, they do have feast days. I didn't realize that. And a dress code. Isn't that something? Everything Yahweh designed. Secret lodge. There's always the antithesis of it. Acts 24:15. I'm I'm coming to the end. What you say, Callie Soul? She thinks I'm completely deaf.
* Hallelujah. Acts 24:15 read, And have hope towards Yahweh, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. There will be a resurrection of the saved people and the lost people. Sinners and saints all come up together. Where? That's where the church and the world, the just and they all come up together, right here.
* Now, I want to show you something. Go click on that word resurrection. Scroll down. I want you to notice something. Click before you click on 30 No, go back to 386, the the number. Click on Yeah, 386. The words, stay right there. The word is anastasis. Now, if you'll go back, Elder, and click on what you first clicked on, the the word resurrection, anastasis, scroll down and show how many times in the Bible it all uses the Greek word anastasis.
* That's a lot. Actually, every time the word resurrection is mentioned, it's anastasis. Except for one time. And I'm going to show you that one time that it's not the word anastasis. Turn with me to the words of a dying man, Philippians, chapter 3, 10 through 11. Pull it up on the screen, Philippians 3, 10 through 11.
* Now, I want to read this myself. Philippians 3, 10 and 11. That I may know him. Click on Philippians 3:10. Let's see what the word resurrection there is. This is Paul getting ready to die. Said that I may KNOW HIM IN THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION. What word is it? Anastasis. Now, in the very next verse, he's going to say resurrection again.
* Watch what happens. That I may know him and the power of his general resurrection, But no, go back. Let me read the whole verse. Go back up. If by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead. Now, hold on. Three and 10, he's talking about the resurrection. But go to three and 11 and click on it. Scroll down to the word resurrection.
* What's that word? Ex. It's the only time in the New Testament that it uses exanastasis. The word ex means out. He said, there is a resurrection that I know I'll be in. But there is another resurrection that is out from that resurrection that I don't know if I'll be in that resurrection. I just showed you what nobody in Christianity knows.
* Nobody has ever Nobody knows. Paul said, "Listen, go back and let's read the verse again. Let me see the verses." Start off with 10. That I may know him IN THE POWER OF HIS resurrection and the fellowship, but notice verse 11. If by any means I need to know him in the power of his resurrection so that I would at least have the possibility by any means that I might obtain the out resurrection.
* That I might obtain that other resurrection. The one that's not part of the resurrection. It's out from THAT ONE. IT'S IT'S A different resurrection. HE SAID, "THAT'S ALL I WANT IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION." Listen to verse 12. Now, if that's not what that means, how could he say the next verse? We already know according to Acts there's going to be a resurrection of the just and the un- It's a done deal.
* You don't have to obtain that. It's a done deal. He says it in the next verse. Not as though I've already obtained that resurrection. Well, if you're talking about the resurrection, of course you've obtained it. Because Acts says everybody's coming up. You don't have to obtain that resurrection. It's guaranteed.
* So, why are you crying, Paul, begging God to let you obtain the resurrection? That out resurrection, the one that's outside of the other resurrection. It stands alone. It's the prize of the church. It's the prize of the overcomers. He said, "I've not obtained that resurrection. Neither am How do I obtain that resurrection? By being what? Perfect.
* Mature. Or complete, the number seven. When the voice of the seventh begins to sound. I need I need somebody to put this together in your spirit mind. He said, "Not as though I've already come into maturity. But I do follow after not not salvation. I don't follow after the resurrection. I chase after what the church knows nothing about, that other resurrection.
* If that I may apprehend that. Listen. For which also I have already been apprehended. Wait a minute. What in the world does that mean? It's very simple. Paul, you were called to be in the first resurrection. Now, it doesn't mean you'll be chosen to be in it. Something has apprehended you, Paul. The call. The initiation at Mount Calvary.
* It has apprehended you. IT ARRESTED YOU. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE APPREHENDED WHAT APPREHENDED YOU, CHOSEN. HALLELUJAH. PAUL, something apprehended you. You remember me talking about the Masons and the handcuffs? What's another word for handcuff? Apprehended. Something arrested you, Paul. Now, it's time for you to arrest what has arrested you.
* What grabbed you, you've got to grab. Oh, God from Zion. HALLELUJAH. PAUL SAID, "I DON'T KNOW IF I've I rest I don't know if I've grabbed it hard enough." Paul said, "I don't know." We know he wasn't saying he didn't know if he was saved. He says, "I'll be in the first second resurrection, all of us will." But he said, "If I might obtain what has obtained me.
* " Many are called, but few are chosen BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GRAB A HOLD WHAT GRABBED A HOLD OF YOU. THAT'S THE MYSTERY OF THE MYSTERY. THE FIRST RESURRECTION. Out from the resurrection. What Let me show you what out Lord, let me show you what out looks like. This is the resurrection. You need something to pull you out of the resurrection into the other resurrection.
* Paul said, "I wish I could grab A HOLD OF THAT OUT RESURRECTION, THAT OTHER. I WANT OUT OF THAT ONE AND I WANT INTO THIS ONE. I WANT IN." HE SAID, "I WANT IN. I WANT IN." WHAT GOT A HOLD OF ME? SO, PAUL, JUST BECAUSE YOU don't know whether you're going to be in the first resurrection, are you going to sit down and just quit? I don't think that's what he said.
* I think in verse 13, he said, "I don't count myself to have apprehended, but here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to forget those things that are behind me. I'm going to put MY BLINDFOLD ON AND I'M GOING TO REACH FORTH UNDER THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEFORE. I PRESS. I RISE. I PRESS. I RISE. I PRESS." STAND UPON YOUR FEET.
* I PRESS. I PRESS. I PRESS. I PRESS. I RISE. HE SAID, "JUSTIN, I don't know if I'm going to make it, but I guarantee you it won't be because I didn't press. I DIDN'T PRESS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. SOMETHING GOT A HOLD OF ME, BUT I GOT A HOLD OF SOMETHING AND I'M GOING TO PRESS UNTIL I'M CHOSEN FOR THAT OUT RESURRECTION.
* HALLELUJAH."
