"BE VERY SURE THAT YOUR ANCHOR 06:05 HOLDS." BECAUSE IN TIMES LIKE THESE, WE 06:08 REALLY NEED A SAVIOR. >> AMEN. 06:10 >> WE RELLY NEED A SAVIOR, AND IN THIS BOOK, WE CAN FIND THE 06:14 MIND OF CHRIST. >> YES. 06:16 >> UH-HUH. >> SO TELL US SOME MORE, PASTOR 06:22 MYERS, ABOUT THE FIVE-DIMENSIONAL ASPECTS OF 06:26 STUDY. IS THAT IT? 06:27 >> FIVE-DIMENSIONAL BIBLE STUDY -- AND BEFORE I TOUCH ON 06:32 THAT. >> UH-HUH. 06:33 >> WE WERE JUST TALKING OVER THE BREAK -- I WANTED TO BRING 06:36 SOMETHING UP ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HOW TO STUDY THE 06:39 BIBLE. >> OH, GOOD. 06:40 >> BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT -- I'M A 06:45 PASTOR. I PASTOR THE CAMPBELL 06:48 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, IN CAMPBELL -- PEACE. 06:51 [ LAUGHTER ] >> GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO YOUR 06:53 CHURCH. ABSOLUTELY. 06:55 >> BUT WHAT I HAVE FOUND IN MY EXPERIENCE AS A PASTOR, IS THAT, 07:01 YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH DEPEND ON THEIR PASTOR TO 07:08 STUDY FOR THEM. >> THIS IS A GOOD POINT. 07:11 >> AND IT'S -- IT'S -- I BELIEVE THAT THEY -- YOU KNOW, THE 07:18 PASTOR GOES -- DOES HIS STUDY, PUTS TOGETHER HIS SERMON, AND 07:25 THEN HE PREACHES, AND THE RECEIVE IT. 07:28 THAT WAS GREAT. THAT WAS GREAT. 07:30 THE PASTOR FEEDS THE FLOCK, BUT SOMETIMES IT DEPENDS T 07:41 TOW -- TOTALLY ON THE PASTOR TO FEED THE FLOCK. 07:48 AND I HAVE NEVER HAD SOMEONE COME TO ME AND BE LIKE, THIS IS 07:53 HOW YOU STUDY THE BIBLE. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THAT WAS 07:58 RESERVED FOR THE THEOLOGY STUDENT. 08:00 THE REST OF YOU FIGURE STUFF OUT ON YOUR OWN, BUT THAT'S NOT 08:06 REALLY YOUR BURDEN. BUT I THINK THE MORE EDUCATED 08:09 OUR PEOPLE ARE, IN TERMS OF LEARNING HOW TO GET INTO THE 08:14 SCRIPTURES THEMSELVES -- >> YES. 08:15 >> -- IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE HAVE A TOOLBOX AND AS PASTOR THESE ARE 08:21 THE TOOLS YOU USED TO STUDY THE BIBLE, BUT WE NEED TO SHARE 08:25 THOSE TOOLS WITH OUR MEMBERS, SO THEY ARE NOW EQUIPPED TO GET 08:30 INTO DEEP BIBLE STUDY. I THINK THE UNDERLYING ISSUE 08:33 THAT WE ARE FACING IN OUR CHURCH IS HOW WE APPROACH THE 08:37 SCRIPTURES. BECAUSE HOW WE APPROACH THE 08:40 SCRIPTURES DETERMINES -- YOU KNOW, I MEAN LOOK AT ALL OF THE 08:44 CONTROVERSIES WE HAVE GOING ON IN OUR CHURCH RIGHT NOW. 08:48 I'M NOT GOING TO NAME ANY OF THEM. 08:51 BUT THEY ARE ALL THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSIES. 08:54 THESE ARE DOING UP BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN OPINION OF 08:59 VIEW OF HOW TO APPROACH THE SCRIPTURES, AN AS LONG AS THAT 09:03 EXISTS -- NO, THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO STUDY THE BIBLE, NO THIS 09:09 IS THE RIGHT WAY TO STUDY THE BIBLE, WE'RE GOING TO COME TO 09:14 DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS. I DON'T THINK THERE ANY ONE 09:18 RIGHT WAY TO STUDY THE BIBLE. >> OKAY. 09:24 >> SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY, AND THAT I DON'T 09:29 BELIEVE AT ALL. BECAUSE GOD -- I MEAN, I BELIEVE 09:32 THAT GOD HAS A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS TO REVEAL THE 09:34 SAME TRUTH. >> UH-HUH. 09:37 >> AND THAT'S HOW I APPROACH THE SCRIPTURE, SO WHEN SOMEONE 09:41 APPROACHES -- GETS THE TRUTH IN A WAY THAT I MAY NOT BE EITHER 09:45 FAMILIAR WITH, OR I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY ARRIVED AT THAT 09:51 PARTICULAR TRUTH, BUT THE TRUTH, I'M NOT GOING TO KNOCK THE WAY 09:55 THAT THEY GOT THERE. IT GOT THEM THERE TO THAT TRUTH. 09:58 AND MAYBE THAT'S HOW GOD SPOKE TO THEM. 10:01 BUT, YEAH, SO YOU DISCOVERED THE TRUTH ABOUT -- YOU KNOW, THE LAW 10:06 OF GOD. OKAY. 10:08 WELL, HEY, PRAISE GOD, BECAUSE YOU CAME TO THAT TRUTH. 10:11 SO WE NEED TO -- I THINK THERE IS A CRISIS IN OUR CHURCH. 10:17 >> INTERESTING. >> RIGHT? 10:18 AND THIS PERSON IS LIKE NO, NO, NO. 10:21 YOU ARE READING THE BIBLE WRONG. NO, NO, NO. 10:25 YOU ARE READING THE BIBLE WRONG, AND YOU HAVE TWO SCHOLARS THAT 10:30 HAVE COME TO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS ON THE 10:33 SAME TEXT. BOTH CLAIMING THEY ARE SCHOLARS, 10:36 AND YET YOU ARE COMING TO TWO DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS. 10:41 SO THERE IS A CRISIS IN OUR CHURCH, AND I THINK THAT IS 10:44 SOMETHING WE NEED TO BEGIN TO PAY ATTENTION TO. 10:47 HOW DO WE APPROACH THE SCRIPTURES? 10:50 DO OUR MEMBERS EVEN KNOW HOW TO APPROACH THE SCRIPTURES. 10:55 >> RIGHT -- OH, GO AHEAD, JAY. >> THAT'S SEBLGS LENT. 11:01 THE MEMBERS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. 11:06 SO IF THE MEMBERS WANTED TO LEARN FROM YOU, HOW WOULD THEY 11:11 DO THAT? >> YOU CAN GO TO 11:18 POWEROFTHELAMB.COM, AND SEE THE DIFFERENT COURSES, AND YOU CAN 11:20 SEE WHAT I HAVE ONLINE. YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR THOSE 11:24 COURSES OR JUST SIGN UP FOR OUR EMAILS, OR GIVE US YOUR EMAIL 11:28 AND SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER, AND GET MORE INFORMATION ON 11:34 THOSE COURSES. BUT THE PURPOSE OF THAT COURSE 11:37 IS TO BASICALLY INSTRUCT PEOPLE HOW TO DO THAT THEMSELVES. 11:42 WHICH LEADS ME TO MY DIMENSIONS. >> YES. 11:45 >> SO MOST PEOPLE -- THERE ARE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF BIBLE STUDY 11:50 IN WHAT I CALL PHOTO-THEOLOGY. THERE'S THE LITERAL DIMENSION.-THERE IS THE CHRIST DIMENSION. 11:59 THE THIRD DIMENSION IS THE ME DIMENSION. 12:03 THE FOURTH DIMENSION IS THE CHURCH DIMENSION. 12:07 AND THE FIFTH DIMENSION IS THE EVEN DIMENSION. 12:10 FIRST DIMENSION IS THIS. WHAT IS THE TEXT LITERALLY 12:16 SAYING, RIGHT? EXODUS -- 12:18 >> WAS GOING TO SAY, CAN WE TAKE A TEXT. 12:22 >> LET THEM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY THAT I MAY DWELL AMONG THEM. 12:27 SO IT IS TALKING ABOUT THIS LITERAL TEMPLE THAT WAS BUILT 12:34 BACK THERE IN THE WILDERNESS BY MOSES. 12:39 THE MOST HOLY PLACE, ET CETERA. THAT THE FIRST DIMENSION. 12:43 I AM SIMPLY LOOKING AT THE LITERAL BUILDING THAT WAS BACK 12:47 THERE IN THE WILDERNESS WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL LEFT EGYPT. 12:53 THE SECOND DIMENSION IS THE CHRIST DIMENSION. 12:56 LET THEM MEET ME AT THE SANCTUARY THEY MAY DWELL AMONG 13:01 THEM. WOW. 13:01 WOW. WOW. 13:03 CHECK THIS OUT. THE SANCTUARY WAS LOCATED IN THE 13:06 CENTER OF THE 12 TRIBES. >> OH. 13:11 >> WOE. WOE. 13:13 WOE. THE SANCTUARY WAS TO LEAD THE 13:17 12. SO WHEN GOD WAS LEADING THE 13:19 CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, THE CLOUD WAS HOVER OVER THEM, AND THE 13:25 SANCTUARY WOULD GO BEFORE THEM. SO OKAY. 13:28 JESUS SAID DESTROY THIS TEMPLE, AND I'LL RAISE IT UP AGAIN IN 13:32 THREE DAYS. THE BIBLE SAYS OF JESUS THAT HIS 13:35 NAME WOULD BE EMMANUEL, MEANING -- 13:41 >> GOD. >> -- LET THEM MAKE ME A 13:46 SANCTUARY THAT I MAY DWELL AMONG THEM. 13:48 JUST AS THE SANCTUARY DWELLED IN THE MIDST OF THE 12 -- 13:52 >> HUM. >> OH. 13:53 >> IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, LITERAL DIMENSION. 13:56 IN THE SECOND DIMENSION, CHRIST IS THE TEMPLE, CHRIST IS THE 14:02 SANCTUARY DWELLING AMONG THE 12 DISCIPLES. 14:07 >> WOW. UH-HUH. 14:09 >> OKAY. GOT IT NOW. 14:12 WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE THIRD DIMENSION. 14:14 HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO ME? NO YOU NOT THAT YOU -- 14:18 >> OH, WOW. >> -- ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY 14:22 SPIRIT. >> UH-HUH. 14:24 >> AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU. 14:27 AH, I GET IT NOW. IN A LITTLE SANCTUARY, GLORY IN 14:32 THE TEMPLE. IN THE SECOND DIMENSION, THE 14:34 SPIRIT OF HIS FATHER IN HIM. IN THE THIRD DIMENSION, THE HOY 14:38 SPIRIT IN ME. >> YES. 14:40 FROM ONE TEXT. >> FROM ONE TEXT 14:42 >> THAT'S AMAZING. >> FROM ONE TEXT. 14:45 >> UH-HUH. >> RIGHT? 14:47 >> UH-HUH. WHAT ABOUT THE FOURTH DIMENSION. 14:51 WHAT DIMENSION IS THAT? >> WE'RE PLAYING CONCENTRATION. 14:56 [ LAUGHTER ] >> CONCENTRATE. 14:58 [ LAUGHTER ] >> NO, THE FOURTH DIMENSION IS 15:01 THE CHURCH DIMENSION. >> OKAY. 15:03 >> OKAY. SO NOW -- AH, WE ALL ARE LIVELY 15:08 STONES THAT ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER TO FORM THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD. 15:13 TO FORM THE HOUSE OF GOD. >> HUM. 15:16 >> THE ENTIRE CHURCH IS A SYMBOL OF -- THE SANCTUARY IS A SYMBOL 15:21 OF THE ENTIRE CHURCH. WE ARE ALL BUILDING THE CHURCH 15:26 OF GOD, THE HOUSE OF GOD. WE HAVE STONES THAT MAKE UP THE 15:30 HOUSE OF GOD. FIRST DIMENSION, LITERAL TEMPLE. 15:34 SECOND DIMENSION CHRIS TEMPLE. THIRD DIMENSION. 15:36 I AM A TEMPLE. FOURTH DIMENSION, ALL OF US 15:41 TOGETHER MAKE THE TEMPLE. THE FIFTH DIMENSION IS THE 15:45 HEAVENLY DIMENSION. AH, HEAVENLY SANCTUARY. 15:49 >> HUM. >> SO NOW -- CHECK THI OUT. 15:53 I CAN TAKE FROM ONE TEXT, EXODUS 25:8 AND PREACH FIVE DIFFERENT 16:00 SERMONS. >> WOW. 16:01 >> I'M GOING TO PREACH JUST ON THE LITERAL TEMPLE AND ALL OF 16:05 THE SYMBOLISM OF THE LITERAL TEMPLE. 16:08 AND AFTER THAT SERIES I'M GOING TO DO A WHOLE MESSAGE ON CHRIST 16:14 BEING THE TEMPLE, AND THEN HOW WE ARE THE TEMPLE AND HOW THE 16:20 CHURCH IS A TEMPLE. AND GUYS WE HAVE TO WORK 16:25 TOGETHER TO COMPLETE THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE. 16:27 AND NOW I'M THINKING WHAT ARE THESE GUYS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT 16:32 CALLED TO DO? THEY WERE CALLED TO REBUILD THE 16:36 TEMPLE. BECAUSE WHEN THE TEMPLE IS 16:38 FINALLY BUILD, GUESS WHAT? JESUS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD FILLS 16:45 THE TEMPLE WHEN THE TEMPLE IS BUILT. 16:47 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I'M THINKING, WOE. 16:51 SO YOU MEAN WHEN THE CHURCH IS COMPLETE, JESUS, THE LATTERINE 17:01 COMES AND FILLS THE TEMPLE? AND MOST PEOPLE READ TH BIBLE 17:06 IN TWO DIMENSIONS. YES. 17:08 >> WHAT IS IT LITERALLY SAYING? AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ME? 17:12 >> UH-HUH. >> YOU ARE MISSING OUT. 17:15 TO ME THE MOST POWERFUL DIMENSION IS THE SECOND 17:19 DIMENSION, THE CHRIST DIMENSION. BUT THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU ARE 17:23 MISSING OUT WHEN YOU DON'T READ THE BIBLE IN THE SECOND 17:30 DIMENSION, THE FOURTH DIMENSION, THE FIFTH DIMENSION. 17:32 I'M READING THE TEXT AND I'M GOING . . . 17:38 [ LAUGHTER ] >> WHILE THE OTHER PERSON IS 17:40 READING NEXT THEY ARE LIKE . . . [ LAUGHTER ] 17:45 >> WHAT? AND, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING 17:47 THAT IN A -- LIKE LOOK AT ME TYPE OF WAY. 17:50 I'M JUST SAYING BECAUSE I'M READING THE TEXT IN FIVE 17:55 DIMENSION, WHILE THE OTHER PERSON IS READING THE TEXT IN 17:59 ONE DIMENSION, MAYBE TWO, YOU MISS OUT ON SO MUCH -- 18:04 >> YES. >> -- AND ALL GOD IS REALLY 18:07 TRYING TO DO IS OPEN OUR EYES SO THAT WE CAN SEE, RIGHT? 18:10 >> UH-HUH. >> I REMEMBER ONCE I WAS 18:18 PROBABLY -- WELL, I REMEMBER ON TIME I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE 18:22 MALL WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS, AND WE WALKED THROUGH THIS GROUP 18:27 OF PEOPLE WHO WERE LIKE, WOE, LOOK AT THAT PICTURE! 18:33 AND I WALKED OVER, AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT THIS BIG PICTURE OF 18:39 NOTHING BUT ZIGZAG LINES. AND I'M LIKE, ARE YOU GUYS 18:44 CRAZY. AND SOMEONE SAW ME, AND THEY ARE 18:47 LIKE YOU GOT TO DO THIS THING WITH YOUR EYES. 18:50 SO I START TRYING TO DO ALL KINDS OF STUFF WITH MY EYES, AND 18:55 ROLLING MY EYES, AND SUDDENLY MY EYES FOCUSED IN ON ONE POINT IN 19:01 THE PICTURE, AND IT BECAME A 3-D IMAGE. 19:06 AND WHEN I MOVED THE IMAGE MOVED. 19:09 AND I WAS LOSING IT. WAS LIKE WHAT! 19:12 MANY OF US WHEN WE PICK UP THE BIBLE, ALL WE SEE ARE ZIGZAG 19:18 LINES >> UH-HUH. 19:19 >> WHY IS THIS STORY IN THE BIBLE? 19:22 I DON'T GET THIS? >> HUH HUH. 19:25 >> BUT WHEN WE DO THAT THING WITH OUR EYES, PHOTO-THEOLOGY, 19:30 AND WE LEARN TO FOCUS IN ON JESUS, ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT 19:36 BECOMES A 3-D IMAGE, AND NOW WE'RE LIKE, WOE, WHAT IN THE 19:41 WORLD. >> YES. 19:44 YES. >> AND THAT'S THE FIRE. 19:45 IF YOU WERE REQUIRED TO STUDY SOMETHING YOU FOUND NO -- AND 19:51 FROM FOR ME OF IT, IT'S LIKE THAT. 19:55 I MUST NOW STUDY THE BIBLE.-AND IT'S A BURDEN TO US. OH, BOY, I GOT TO DO THIS AGAIN. 20:02 THE BIBLE SHOULD BE -- IT IS THE MOST EXCITING BOOK THAT I HAVE 20:07 EVER READ. AND THAT'S HOW WE NEED TO 20:09 APPROACH THE SCRIPTURES. WE NEED TO APPROACH THE 20:12 SCRIPTURES EXPECTING. I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, HEY, 20:16 WHEN YOU READ THE SCRIPTURE, JUST GET EXCITED? 20:19 WHAT? JUST GET EXCITED. 20:21 I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY -- JUST GET EXCITED BECAUSE GOD IS GOING 20:26 TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING IF YOU ARE OPEN IT TO. 20:28 AND HERE IS THE THING, WHEN I READ THE BIBLE -- AND I TELL 20:32 PEOPLE THIS ALL THE TIME. I DON'T TRY TO FIND NEW TRUTHS. 20:36 MY OBJECTIVE IS NOT TO FIND NEW TRUTH. 20:41 ANYTHING YOU HEARD ME SAY IS PROBABLY SOMETHING YOU ALREADY 20:45 KNOW. THE END CONCLUSION -- DON'T LOOK 20:48 AT ME LIKE THAT -- THE END CONCLUSION IS SOMETHING YOU 20:52 ALREADY KNOW. YOU ALREADY KNW THAT JESUS CAME 20:54 INTO THE WORLD BECAUSE OF OUR SINS, AND THAT HE DIED SO THAT 20:58 WE MIGHT LIVE. YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT. 21:01 YOU JUST HEARD IT IN A NEW PACKAGE. 21:04 SO THE NEW PACKAGE IS LIKE, WOE. THIS MESSED UP STORY OF DAVID 21:11 AND BATHSHEBA, WE CAN SEE THE SAME THING THERE? 21:16 THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE TRUTH DOES. 21:19 GOD SHOWS US THE SAME TRUTH FROM A THOUSAND DIFFERENT ANGLES. 21:24 IT'S NOT NEW LIGHT OR NEW TRUTH. IT'S THE SAME OLD TRUTH BUT FROM 21:29 A THOUSAND DIFFERENT ANGLES. >> YES. 21:30 >> WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WE DON'T FIND NEW TRUTH. 21:35 THAT'S HOW PEOPLE GET IN -TROUBLE. >> YES. 21:38 >> NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT'S LIKE, YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT, I 21:42 FOUND THIS TRUTH, AND IF YOU DON'T BEIEVE IT, YOU KNOW, GOD 21:46 IS NOT WORKING THROUGH YOU, RIGHT? 21:49 SO YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT SO OFTEN. SO THIS IS NOT LOOKING FOR NEW 21:53 TRUTH. IT'S JUST SAYING, GOD, SHOW ME 21:57 THE SAME OLD TRUTH BUT FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE. 22:00 >> YES. YES. 22:03 WHICH HE WILLINGLY DOES. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SAID 22:06 EARLIER -- AND THIS IS REALLY, REALLY TRUE. 22:09 YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO HANG THESE PICTURES ON. 22:12 >> YEAH. >> YOU HAVE TO GET IN THE WORD. 22:15 YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DISCOVER ANYTHING, IF YOU ARE NOT 22:19 SPENDING TIME IN THE WORD. >> YEP. 22:22 >> SO EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO STUDY, START READING THE 22:28 WORD, BECAUSE YOU BEGIN TO PICK THIS, THIS, AND PUT IT TOGETHER, 22:32 AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT. 22:35 >> YEAH. LIKE FILL YOUR MIND, RIGHT? 22:41 I LOVE LISTENING TO YOUR STORY HOUR. 22:44 KIDS STORIES, BUT YOU LISTEN TO THOSE STORIES, AND YOU ARE LIKE, 22:50 AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED? AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. 22:54 THAT'S A VERY POWERFUL WAY TO HANG THESE PICTURES IN MEMORY'S 22:58 HALL. SO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO, IF 23:01 IT'S LISTENING TO TABLE STORIES, JUST START THROWING THOSE 23:07 STORIES IN THERE. PUT THEM IN THERE, AND YOU'LL 23:09 BEGIN TO SEE -- YOU'LL BEGIN -- WHEN YOU TRAIN YOUR 23:13 MIND HOW TO BEGIN TO THINK IN PICTURES, LIKE, IT JUST COMES TO 23:17 LIFE IN AN AMAZING WAY. IN AN AMAZING WAY. 23:22 >> TOUCH ON THE DANIEL STATUTE. YOU KNOW I WANT YOU TO GET TO 23:28 THAT. YOU KNOW I WANT TO HEAR THAT. 23:31 >> SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF LEARNING HOW TO THINK IN 23:36 PICTURES.-RIGHT? THIS IS A PARADIGM SHIFT, IF YOU 23:40 WILL. AND LET ME SAY THIS -- I LIKE TO 23:42 SAY THIS, GOD AS GIVEN EVERY ONE OF US A CAMERA, AND IT'S THIS 23:47 RIGHT HERE. SOME OF US HAVE OLD 23:49 CAMERAS -- AND I DON'T NEED MEAN AGE, I MEAN -- REMEMBER HOW YOU 23:56 USED TO HAVE TO DEVELOP A PICTURE IN THE OLD DAYS, AND IT 24:05 TOOK HOURS, AND SOME OF US HAVE A CELL PHONE AND IT'S LIKE BOOM. 24:12 BUT DON'T BE DISCOURAGED, THE MORE YOUR TRAIN YOUR MIND TO 24:16 THINK IN PICTURES AND DIMENSIONS, THE EASIER IT IS 24:20 GOING TO BECOME. YOU WILL BE READING A TEXT AND 24:23 YOU WILL JUST SEE THAT TEXT BECOMES LIVING. 24:26 AND YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN IT ON THE SET OF -- 24:29 >> SALVATIONS -- >> SALVATIONS SIMILARABLES AND 24:34 SIGNS. JAMES AND I ARE TALKING -- AND 24:36 WHILE HE IS TALKING OR I'M TALKING, ONE OF US IS LIKE . . . 24:42 HOLD ON. PLEASE STOP. 24:43 DID YOU SEE WHAT WE JUST READ? NO. 24:46 LOOK AT THIS. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE ALL SEE 24:51 SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE. 24:53 >> YES. >> THAT'S WHAT WE WAT TO LEARN. 24:55 WE WANT THE TEXT TO JUST POP OFF OF THE PAGE. 24:58 >> YES. YES. 25:00 >> IT BECOMES NOT 3-D, BUT 5-D, RIGHT? 25:05 >> YES. >> SO I'M -- I'M NOT GOING TO 25:08 USE THAT EXAMPLE. I'LL USE A DIFFERENT EXAMPLE. 25:12 WHEN YOU PRACTICE ANYTHING, YOU LEARN DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES, 25:18 RIGHT? BUT REALLY THE ART OF -- I'M 25:20 GOING TO USE THE EXAMPLE. WAS MARTIAL ARTIST BACK IN THE 25:24 DAY, AND AS A MARTIAL ARTST, YOU STUDY TECHNIQUE, RIGHT? 25:29 YOU HAVE DIFFERENT FORMS. SO YOU STUDY THIS FORM, YOU 25:33 STUDY THIS FORM, YOU STUDY THIS FORM. 25:37 FOR THE PURPOSE OF WHEN YOU GET INTO A FIGHT, YOU'RE NOT GOING 25:41 THROUGH -- OKAY THIS FORM, THIS FORM. 25:44 YOU ARE TAKE BITS AND PIECES FROM EACH FORM TO ADAPT TO THAT 25:48 PARTICULAR SITUATION. >> UH-HUH. 25:50 >> RIGHT? >> UH-HUH. 25:53 >> IN THE VERY SAME WAY, BIBLE STUDY IS LEARNING HOW TO TAKE 25:59 PIECES OF THE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES AND BRINGING IT 26:02 TOGETHER TO HANDLE A TEXT THAT YOU ARE FIGHTING WITH. 26:04 >> AH. >> HOW DO I -- HOW DO I BREAK 26:09 INTO AN UNDERSTANDING OF THIS TEXT? 26:11 SO YOU ARE LEARNING TO USE THESE DIFFERENT PRINCIPALS. 26:19 PHOTO-THEOLOGY, DIMENSIONS, THE PRINCIPLE GAME, AND SOON YOU 26:23 BEGIN TO LEARN HOW TO USE -- LIKE ALL OF THESE THINGS 26:27 BEGIN TO BEAR ON THE TEXT, AND YOU ARE NOT THINKING, NOW LET ME 26:33 THINK IN DIVE DIMENSIONS. IT BECOMES FLUID TO YOU. 26:38 IT BECOMES REFLECTIVE. THAT'S WHAT THEY DID IN THE 26:44 MARTIAL ARTS, IT WAS JUST REFLEXES. 26:46 THAT'S WHAT WE WANT ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL. 26:50 DON'T ANYONE WRITE INTO 3ABN -- >> RIGHT. 26:52 >> IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE >> HE IS NO LONGER IN THE 26:57 MARTIAL ARTS. >> MUSCLE MEMORY. 27:01 >> MUSCLE MEMORY. ABSOLUTELY. 27:03 SO LET'S TALK ABOUT DANIEL, AND WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SHARE HERE IS -pJUST A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT 27:09 TECHNIQUES, IF YOU WILL, OKAY? >> OKAY 27:15 >> SO I'M GOING TO START WITH GENESIS, 1:26. 27:21 IN GENESIS 1:26 -- IN FACT, CAN YOU READ THAT, GENESIS 1:26. 27:32 >> SURE. >> WHEN I GOT A CHANCE TO HEAR 27:35 THIS ON THESET -- I RECORDED YOU ON THE PHONE. 27:38 >> YEAH. >> AND THEN I SHARED IT WITH MY 27:41 GIRLFRIEND. WAS LIKE, YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS. 27:45 THIS WAS JUICY. THIS WAS JUICY. 27:48 >> HERE WE GO. THEN GOD SAID LET US MAKE MAN IN 27:53 OUR IMAGE ACCORDING TO OUR LIKENESS. 27:57 LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH IN THE SEAS BIRDS IN THE 28:01 AIR AND OVER THE CATTLE OVER ALL OF THE EARTH AND EVERY CREEPING 28:05 THING THAT CREEPS ON THE EARTH. >> OKAY. 28:09 SO GENESIS 1:26. AND IN ONE OF MY ONLINE CLASSES 28:14 I USED THIS EXAMPLE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. 28:18 IT WAS A LIVE ONLINE CLASS. AND I WAS TALKING WITH MY 28:22 STUDENTS AND WE JUST KIND OF WALKED THROUGH THIS AND BUILT IT 28:28 TOGETHER. >> THIS IS AT 28:30 POWEROFTHELAMB.COM. >> POWEROFTHELAMB.COM. 28:32 AND THE CLASS IS CALLED PHOTO-THEOLOGY. 28:36 I'M TAKING THEM TO GENESIS 1:26. AND HERE IS THE IDEA BEHIND IT. 28:41 WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS VERSE IN A WAY THAT WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT 28:45 IT BEFORE. WE'RE USING DIFFERENT 28:48 TECHNIQUES. WE'RE USING DIMENSIONS, AND 28:51 USING THE PRINCIPAL CALLED QUESTIONING THE TEXT. 28:54 WHEN YOU APPROACH A TEXT, DO YOU JUST READ THE TEXT OR ASK 29:01 QUESTIONS? A GOOD DETECTIVE ALWAYS ASKS 29:05 QUESTIONS. WE USED TO TRY TO COME UP WITH 29:07 AT LEAST 20 QUESTIONS FOR THAT TEXT. 29:12 IN OUR CLASS WE CAME UP WITH 20 QUESTIONS FIRST, AND THEN I 29:17 INTRODUCED A NEW PRINCIPLE, AND WE CAME UP WITH A HUNDRED 29:21 QUESTIONS FOR GENESIS 1:26. >> WOW. 29:25 >> EACH OF THOSE QUESTIONS CAN BE A STUDY IN AND OF ITSELF, YOU 29:29 CAN STUDY GENESIS 1:26, FOR A VERY, VERY, VERY LONG TIME. 29:35 RIGHT?-SO I'M GOING TO JUICE DOWN SOME OF THE THINGS AND BRING IT TO 29:39 THE BOOK OF DANIEL. SO YOU HAE GOD CREATING MAN IN 29:44 HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS, MEANING THAT MAN REFLECTED THE CHARACTER 29:49 OF GOD. THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS YOU FIND 29:53 IN GENESIS 1:26. THE KINGDOM OF MAN AND THE 29:58 ANIMAL KINGDOM. GOD GAVE MAN DOMINION OVER THE 30:04 ANIMAL KINGDOM >> RIGHT. 30:07 >> SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT MAN ENDS UP SINNING. 30:10 AND MAN SINS THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF A SERPENT. 30:14 SO WHEN HE SINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SERPENT, HE NOW 30:22 BECOMES SUBJECT -- HE LOSES THE IMAGE OF GOD. 30:24 HE IS NO LONGER IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, BUT NOW HE BEGINS TO 30:29 REFLECT THE IMAGE OF THE -- >> SERPENT. 30:34 ANIMAL. >> I'M GOING TO USE THE WORD 30:36 BEAST. >> OH, COME ON. 30:37 >> SEE WHAT I JUST DID? >> YES. 30:40 >> I DIDN'T USE THE TERM SERPENT, RIGHT? 30:43 IT IS A SERPENT, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THE SERPENT IS A BEAST. 30:48 IN MY MIND, I'M THINKING, HUM.-WOW, MAN LOST HIS IMAGE -- LOST THE IMAGE OF GOD. 30:57 SO WHOSE IMGE IS HE REFLECTING NOW. 30:59 HE IS REFLECTING THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. 31:03 HOLD ON, DOESN'T THE BOOK OF REVELATION TALK ABOUT THE IMAGE 31:08 OF THE BEAST. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS MAN BEGINS TO 31:11 REFLECT THE ANIMAL NATURE. CANE KILLING ABLE. 31:17 ANIMALISTIC. THE -- THE CONDITION OF MEN'S 31:23 HEARTS BEFORE THE FLOOD. ANIMALISTIC. 31:26 SO WE BEIN TO TRACE THIS ANIMAL NATURE, INSTEAD OF A DIVINE 31:32 NATURE. WOE, INSIDE EVERY ONE OF US IS 31:34 THIS WAR BETWEEN THE IMAGE OF GOD AND THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. 31:38 WHO ARE WE GOING TO ACT LIKE IN WHO ARE WE GOING TO REFLECT? 31:42 >> UH-HUH. >> THEN, WAIT A MINUTE. 31:45 SO THE REASON THAT THE BOOK OF DANIEL USES BEASTS TO REFLECT 31:52 THE KINGDOM OF MEN IS BECAUSE GOD IS TRYING TO TELL US, THIS 31:57 IS WHAT MAN HAS BECOME. THIS IS WHAT THE KINGDOM OF MEN 32:00 HAVE BECOME. THEY HAVE BEEN BRUTAL 32:04 ANIMALISTIC. LOOK AT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF 32:07 THE LINE, THE BEAR, THE LEOPARD. THESE BEASTS IN A CERTAIN WAY 32:13 REFLECT CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF WICKED HUMANITY. 32:16 >> HUM. >> HUM. 32:18 >> SO NOW, NO WONDER NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS TURNED LIKE A 32:25 BEAST IN DANIEL 6. >> UH-HUH. 32:28 >> RIGHT? THAT PICTURE IS GOD SAYING, YOU 32:31 WANT TO ACT LIKE A BEAST? ALL RIGHT. 32:34 YOU WANT TO -- THIS IS THE IMAGE YOU WANT TO REFLECT? 32:39 I'M GOING TO LET YOU REFLECT THIS IMAGE. 32:41 NOW THE PLAN OF SALVATION BOILS DOWN TO THIS. 32:44 GOD IS TRYING TO REMOVE THE ANIMAL NATURE, AND RESTORE THE 32:49 IMAGE OF GOD, AND WHEN HE RESTORES THE IMAGE OF GOD -- I 32:53 WANT YOU TO NOTE THE CONNECTION THAT I'M MAKING, RIGHT? 32:56 >> UH-HUH. >> WHEN THE IMAGE OF GOD IS 32:59 RESTORED IN MAN, HE WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE DOMINION OVER THE 33:06 BEASTS. >> UH-HUH. 33:07 >> BUT THERE'S MORE. >> UH-HUH. 33:09 >> BECAUSE HE'S NOT JUST GOING TO HAVE DOMINION OVER THE BEAST. 33:15 HE HAD DOMINION OVER THE BEASTS FROM THE SEA, THE BEASTS FROM 33:20 THE EARTH, AND THE BEASTS IN THE AIR. 33:24 WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE. DOESN'T THE LOOK OF REVELATION 33:28 TALK ABOUT A BEAST FROM THE SEA, THE BEAST FROM THE EARTH, AND A 33:35 DRAGON FROM IS FROM THE AIR. WHEN THE CHURCH REFLECTS THE 33:41 IMAGE OF GOD, THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HEAR REGARDING THE BEAST FROM 33:45 THE SEA, OR THE BEAST FROM THE EARTH, OR THE DRAGON WHO IS THE 33:50 PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR. NOW GENESIS 1:26 IS JUST 33:57 PREGNANT WITH THE GOSPEL. THIS IS WHAT GOD IS 34:00 TRYING -- HE'S TRYING TO GIVE ME DOMINION OVER THE BEAST IN ME. 34:06 AND NOW I REALIZE, IF I DON'T GET DOMINION OVER THE BEAST IN 34:12 ME, I'M IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM ABLE TO GET DOMINION OVER THE 34:18 BEAST FROM THE SEA OR FROM THE EARTH. 34:24 NOW TAKE THAT BACK TO DANIEL 2 -- 34:26 >> OH, YEAH. >> -- AND AGAIN, I WANT YOU TO 34:30 SEE HOW THESE CONNECTIONS AR HAPPENING. 34:33 IF I'M JUST READING LITERALLY WHAT IT SAYS, THERE'S NO WAY I'M 34:38 MAKING THESE CONNECTIONS. IF I'M STAYING IN THE INK, OKAY, 34:42 I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS HAPPENED IN THE BEGINNING. 34:46 I'M NOT DOING AWAY WITH THE LITERAL, I'M NOT DOING AWAY WITH 34:51 THE FIRST DIMENSION, BUT I JUST DIMENSION-ALIZED -- NOW I HAVE 34:57 BROUGHT IT INTO THE FOURTH DIMENSION, HOW IT RELATES TO THE 35:01 CHURCH. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE THIRD 35:03 DIMENSION, HOW IT RELATES TO ME. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE CHRIST 35:08 DIMENSION. IT'S CROSSING ALL THESE 35:12 DIMENSIONS. >> YES. 35:14 >> I DIMENSIONALIZED THE TEXT. >> YES. 35:18 >> NOW IN DANIEL 2 WE HAVE AN IMAGE OF A MAN. 35:21 >> RIGHT. >> BUT IN DANIEL 7, WE HAVE THAT 35:24 SAME THING IN THE IMAGE OF A BEAST. 35:28 SO WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO TELL US? 35:30 AGAIN, HE IS TRYING TO TELL US, LOOK, THIS IS THE CONDITION OF 35:34 THE KINGDOM OF MEN. DANIEL 2, HEAD OF GOLD, CHEST OF 35:42 SILVER, BELLY OF BRASS, LEGS OF IRON, AND TOES OF CLAY. 35:49 THESE FOUR METALS REPRESENT DIFFERENT METALS. 35:53 THESE KINGDOMS ARE THE KINGDOMS OF MEN. 35:57 THE IMAGE IS AN IMAGE OF MAN. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT DANIEL 2, WE 36:05 TYPICALLY THINK THESE REPRESENT THE NATIONS, THAT WOULD BE THE 36:08 FOURTH DIMENSION. THIS IS HOW T RELATES TO THE 36:11 CHURCH AS A WHOLE. BUT NOW LET'S TAKE DANIEL 2 AND 36:16 LOOK AT IT IN THE THIRD DIMENSION. 36:18 HOW DOES IT RELATE TO ME? IT'S THE IMAGE OF A MAN. 36:21 >> UH-HUH. UH-HUH. 36:24 >> COULD DANIEL 2 NOT JUST BE ABOUT THE RESULT OF KINGDOMS 36:30 THAT REJECT GOD, BUT COULD IT ALSO BE SHOWING US THAT THIS IS 36:37 THE RESULT OF THE MAN THAT REJECTS GOD? 36:39 >> HUM. UH-HUH. 36:41 >> THE MAN THAT J-- REJECTS GOD IS GOING TO FALL. 36:52 SO THIS KINGDOM, REPRESENTED BY A MAN, ALSO POINTS TO WHAT 36:57 HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I REJECT CHRIST. 36:59 IT STARTS GOAL, BUT THEN DETERIORATES TO SILVER, BRASS, 37:06 IRON. IN OTHER WORDS, THE METALS 37:11 BECOME HARDER -- >> HUH. 37:12 >> THE LONGER THAT I REJECT GOD. >> OH. 37:16 >> HUM. >> THAT'S GOOD. 37:18 THAT'S -- THAT'S GOOD. >> SATAN IS TRYING TO GET US TO 37:23 BE IRON HEARTED AND REJECT GOD ALL TOGETHER. 37:28 SATAN IS TRYING TO GET US TO CRUCIFY CHRIST AFRESH. 37:31 SO THE LONGER WE GO WITHOUT GOD, IS THE MORE HARDENED WE GET. 37:36 LOOK AT THE METALS AS THEY DEVALUE, AS THEY GO ON, WOW, YOU 37:40 KNOW WHAT, THE LONGER I GO WITHOUT GOD, THE LES 37:46 VALUABLE -- THE LOWER -- NOT LESS VALUABLE I AM, BUT THE MORE 37:52 WE LOSE VALUE, IF YOU WILL. >> UH-HUH. 37:55 >> FOR OTHERS AROUND US AND FOR OURSELVES. 38:08 >> THERE ARE FOUR KINGDOMS. KINGDOM OF THE MIND, KINGDOM OF 38:11 THE HEART, KINGDOM OF THE APPETITES, KINGDOM OF THE 38:17 DIRECTIONS. >> HUM. 38:19 >> WOW. >> SO WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO DO 38:21 IN GOD IS TRYING TO CONCUR OUR KINGDOMS. 38:25 >> WOW. >> THE BIBLE SAYS A KINGDOM 38:29 DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND. 38:31 >> RIGHT. >> SO I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT 38:33 THIS. IF I'M SERVING GOD -- LIKE I 38:37 LIKE BIBLE STUDY, IT'S ALL CEREBRAL FOR ME. 38:44 I LOVE THE WORD. BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TREAT 38:47 OTHERS WITH LOVE. I CAN CLAIM I'M A CHRISTIAN ALL 38:51 DAY LONG. I'M A BIBLE READING, THREE 38:55 ANGELS' MESSAGES ALL DAY LONG, AND IF MY HEART HAS HATE, IF I 39:00 HAVE ANGER TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE, I CAN CLAIM ALL DAY LONG. 39:05 THIS KINGDOM IS DIVIDED, AND JESUS DOES NOT DWELL IN A 39:09 DIVIDED KINGDOM. HE IS NOT GOING TO RULE THE MIND 39:15 WHILE SATAN HA THE HEART. AND IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO 39:19 DIRECT YOUR PATH -- GIVE YOUR PATH TO HIM AND WALK IN HIS 39:24 WAYS. IT'S EITHER THE WHOLE KINGDOM IS 39:27 HIS OR NONE AT ALL. HE DOES NOT SHARE THE KINGDOM 39:30 WITH SATAN. >> THAT'S GOOD. 39:31 >> I STUDIED THAT -- WHEN A PERSON A BAPTIZED, IT'S THE FALL 39:37 OF THEIR KINGDOMS. RIGHT? 39:41 IT'S JESUS CHRIST COMING AND DESTROYING THOSE KINGDOMS. 39:45 LORD, I AM ALL YOURS, MIND, HEART, APPETITE AND DESIRES AND 39:52 BATH AND DIRECTION. EVERYTHING IS YOURS. 39:54 AND DANIEL 2 SAYS THE WIND COMES AND BLEW AWAY THE REMNANTS OF 40:00 THAT OLD IMAGE. THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO. 40:04 HE WANTS TO MAKE US A NEW CREATION IN HIM. 40:08 >> THAT IS RICH. >> THIS IS GENESIS 1:26. 40:14 THIS IS HOW HE CREATED US IN HIS IMAGE. 40:19 IN HIS WHAT? IMAGE. 40:24 CHAPTER 2, THAT IMAGE NEEDS TO FALL. 40:27 BECAUSE THAT'S AN IMAGE OF BEASTS. 40:32 THAT'S ALL TAKEN TOGETHER AND WHEN I LOOK AT GENESIS 1:26, I 40:37 SEE SOMETHING THAT IS JUST LIKE, WHAT? 40:40 [ LAUGHTER ] >> UH-HUH. 40:42 >> I'LL SHARE ANOTHER EXAMPLE. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN 40:46 THE BOOK OF DANIEL. TALKING ABOUT FINDING CHRIST. 40:50 I WANT TO RUN THROUGH THE WHOLE BOOK OF DANIEL QUICKLY, AND YOU 40:55 GUYS SHOULD -- >> DO NOT QUIZ US ON LIVE 40:59 TELEVISION. >> I WILL NOT QUIZ YOU. 41:03 [ LAUGHTER ] >> SO AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO 41:05 RUN THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY. SO IN DANIEL 1, WE HAVE DANIEL, 41:12 WHO THE BIBLE SAYS WAS WITHOUT FAULT, WITHOUT BLAME. 41:17 HE ENTERS INTO THE KINGDOM OF BABYLON. 41:20 HE IS TAKEN AS A CAPTIVE -- EVEN THOUGH HE IS BLAMELESS, HE HAS 41:26 TAKEN AS A CAPTIVE WITH HIS PEOPLE. 41:29 AND HE HAS TO CROSS THE GREATER EUPHRATES. 41:34 ALMOST LIKE THIS WAS A BAPTISM INTO A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR HIM. 41:37 NOW THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IN DANIEL 1, IS HE IS TEMPTED 41:43 OVER APPETITE. SO HERE IS MY QUESTION FOR YOU. 41:47 DID JESUS COME TO A WORLD WHERE HE WAS GUILTLESS, BUT CAME TO BE 41:52 A PRISONER WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS WITH HUMANITY? 41:58 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> DID HE HAVE A BAPTIST. 42:02 >> YES. >> AND WHAT WAS HIS FIRST 42:06 TEMPTATION? APPETITE. 42:07 IN DANIEL 2, WE JUST DISMISSED THE IMAGE -- THERE'S AN IMAGE OF 42:12 A MAN WHO REPRESENTS THESE KINGDOMS. 42:15 WHY DOES THIS MN FALL? HE FALLS, RIGHT? 42:19 AND WHY DOES HE FALL? BECAUSE OF PRIDE. 42:27 THESE KINGDOMS END UP FALLING. HOW WERE THEY DESTROYED? 42:31 >> BY STONE. >> BY STONE BEING BASHED AGAINST 42:35 THE FEET. THE FEET, RIGHT? 42:37 >> RIGHT. >> STAIN -- SATAN KNOWS. 42:48 SECOND TEMPTATION, HEY, HERE WE HAVE JESUS WHO REPRESENTS THE 42:52 KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. AND HE SAYS IF YOU ARE THE SON 42:55 OF GOD, WHY DON'T YOU FALL IN WHY DON'T YOU THROW YOURSELF 42:59 DOWN. DON'T WORRY, YOU WILL NOT -- 43:02 >> BASH YOUR FOOT. >> BASH YOUR FOOT AGAINST THE 43:07 STONE. HE IS TRYING TO DO TO JESUS WHAT 43:12 WAS DONE IN THE IMAGE. DANIEL 3, IMAGE IS SET UP, THEY 43:21 BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP THIS IMAGE. WHAT WAS JESUS'S THIRD 43:26 TEMPTATION? BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP. 43:28 DANIEL 1, 2, AND 3 REFLECT THE BEGINNING OF CHRIST'S MINISTRY, 43:35 HIS FIRST THREE TEMPTATIONS. WHAT ABOUT DANIEL 4? 43:42 THAT'S NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S DREAM OF THAT BIG TREE. 43:46 THIS TREE, IT'S BRANCHES LODGED IN THE AIR, AND OWL THF THE 43:51 BIRDS CAME AND LODGED IN THIS TREE IT WAS SO GREAT. 43:56 BUT GOD IS TELLING NEBUCHADNEZZAR, YOUR TREE, THIS 44:02 TREE, BABYLON, REPRESENTING BABYLON, IS NOT THE TREE THAT IS 44:06 GOING TO LAST FOREVER. THERE IS ANOTHER KINGDOM 44:10 REPRESENTED BY ANOTHER TREE THAT IS THE ONE THAT WILL LAST 44:13 FOREVER, AND WHEN JESUS COMES ON THE SCENE, HE GIVES HIS 44:19 PARABLE -- THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE A TREE, AND IT BECOMES 44:26 THE GREATEST TREE -- NO, NEBUCHADNEZZAR, NOT YOUR TREE, 44:31 THE TREE OF CALVARY. THAT'S THE TREE THAT SET UP THE 44:35 ETERNAL KINGDOM OF GOD. THAT'S THE TREE THAT PROVIDES 44:41 SHADE AND COVERING FOR THOSE WHO WANT SALVATION. 44:45 SO DANIEL 4 POINTS TO THE DEATH OF CHRIST ON CALVARY. 44:49 DANIEL 5, DANIEL 5, YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN DANIEL 5. 44:55 WRITING ON THE WALL. YOUR KINGDOM IS NUMBERED AND 44:59 FINISHED. WHY WAS IT FINISHED? 45:01 BECAUSE CYRUS, WHO IS A TYPE OF CHRIST, IS OUTSIDE THE CITY 45:08 GATES. THE BIBLE PROPHESIED THAT HE 45:11 WOULD DRY UP THE RIVER EUPHRATES, DECENTING TO THE 45:16 DEEP, AND OPEN THE GATES AND SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. 45:21 GUESS WHAT? WHEN JESUS WAS DIEING ON THE 45:24 CROSS, HE WAS DIEING OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF JERUSALEM. 45:28 WHAT DID HE DO IN HIS DEATH? HE DESCENDED INTO THE DEEP TO 45:35 OPEN THE GATES OF DEATH AND HELL IN ORDER TO SET THE CAPTIVES 45:40 FREE. DANIEL 4, CHRIST DEATH. 45:45 DANIEL 5, CHRIST BURIAL, AND THEN . . . 45:51 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND THEN DANIEL 6. 45:53 >> UH-HUH. >> AND WHAT DO WE HAVE 45:58 HAPPENING? DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN WITH A 46:03 STONE OVER THE MOUTH OF THAT DEN, AND THE STONE IS SEALED. 46:07 >> RIGHT. >> MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T COME OUT 46:13 OF THAT TOMB. >> UH-HUH. 46:18 >> WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT DANIEL CHAPTERS 1 THROUGH 6 IN 46:25 ANOTHER DIMENSION REFLECTS THE STORY OF JESUS CHRIST? 46:30 >> RIGHT. RIGHT. 46:32 >> UH-HUH. >> AND IT DOESN'T STOP THERE, 46:35 BECAUSE IN DANIEL 7, YOU HAVE JESUS AS HIGH PRIEST. 46:38 SO WHAT YOU HAVE HAPPENING, DANIEL 1 THROUGH 6, CHRIST 46:42 MINISTRY ON EARTH. DANIEL 7, JESUS AS HIGH PRIEST. 46:47 DANIEL 8 JESUS IN THE SANCTUARY. DANIEL 9 THE PROPHECY ABOUT THE 46:54 CLOSE OF SALVATION. DANIEL 11, HE STANDS UP FOR HIS 47:04 PEOPLE. THIS IS STUDYING THE BIBLE USING 47:07 PICTURES AND IMAGES. EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND 47:10 PICTURES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A SCHOLAR 47:12 TO UNDERSTAND PICTURES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A DEGREE 47:16 TO UNDERSTAND PICTURES. LIKE, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT 47:19 GOD IS WANTING ALL OF HIS PEOPLE TO HAVE THIS UNDERSTANDING OF 47:24 THE SCRIPTURES, BECAUSE WE'RE LIMITING GOD, AND WE'RE LIMITING 47:28 THE SCRIPTURES, YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF HOVER AROUND THIS 47:34 SABBATH IS THIS DAY AND NOT THAT DAY. 47:36 AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE -- BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING A BIBLE STUDY 47:41 WITH YOUR FELLOW -- YOU KNOW, CHRISTIAN FROM OTHER 47:45 PLACES -- OTHER DENOMINATIONS PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT EVEN BE 47:50 FAMILIAR WITH THE BIBLE AND JUST SHARE WITH THEM, LOOK AT THIS. 47:55 DID YOU KNOW JESUS WAS IN THIS STORY OF DAVID AND BATHSHEBA? 48:02 AND WHEN PEOPLE BEGIN TO SEE THIS KIND OF -- WOE! 48:07 WOE! HEY, TELL ME MORE. 48:08 TELL ME MORE. YOU'RE LIKE, HEY, THERE'S MORE 48:12 TO COME, BUT LET'S JUST KEEP -- YOU BEGIN TO HAVE AN 48:21 AVENUE THEY THINK IS SO UNINTRUSIVE. 48:24 IT IS NON-CONFRONTATIONAL, BUT IN A SENSE IT'S THE VERY GOSPEL. 48:31 IT'S THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGES. IT'S EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S JUST 48:34 IN STORY FORMAT. AND PEOPLE SEE IT, THEY ARE 48:38 LIKE, HOW IN THE WORLD -- LIKE I NEVER SAW THAT BEFORE. 48:41 >> YEAH. >> AND THAT'S WHAT GETS PEOPLE 48:44 EXCITED. >> UH-HUH. 48:45 >> YEAH. >> BECAUSE NOW YOU BEGIN TO SEE 48:48 JESUS IN THE STORIES OF THE BIBLE. 48:50 >> YES. >> SO HOW DO YOU PREPARE YOUR 48:53 SERMONS? THIS IS AMAZING. 48:55 HOW DO YOU PREPARE YOUR SERMONS? >> SO THE WAY I PREPARE MY 49:01 SERMONS, I ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THAT IN MY ONLINE COURSES. 49:04 I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT. >> UH-HUH. 49:07 >> BECAUSE THESE ARE THE PRINCIPALS THAT I UTILIZE WHEN 49:11 PREPARING THE SERMONS -- AND I REMEMBER THIS -- I'M GOING TO 49:14 TELL SOMETHING THAT IS VERY, VERY -- I THINK I MAY HAVE TOLD 49:16 YOU THIS BEFORE. BUT MY FIRST SERMON I EVER 49:21 PREACHED WAS LIKE TWO HOURS LONG. 49:23 >> OH, MY WORD, AND PEOPLE STAYED? 49:26 >> THEY STAYED.-AND THE REASON IT WAS TWO HOURS LONG, IS BECAUSE I PUT 49:31 EVERYTHING I EVER LEARNED AB ABOUAB 49:42 ABOUTED A -- ADVENTISTISM IN THAT SERMON. 49:52 [ LAUGHTER ] >> HOW DOES A PERSON PUT A 49:55 SERMON TOGETHER EVERY WEEK, LIKE FOR LIFE. 49:57 >> RIGHT. >> AND I WAS JUST TERRIFIED, I 50:01 WAS LIKE -- IT TOOK ME THREE MONTHS TO PUT TOGETHER ONE 50:06 SERMON. I DON'T HAVE THREE MONTHS 50:08 BETWEEN SEVEN DAYS. AND I WAS LIKE, I NEED TO START 50:11 THINKING NOW ABOUT THE SERMONS I'M GOING TO PREACH. 50:14 I STARTED WRITING DOWN SERMON TITLES. 50:17 THAT'S A GOOD SERMON TITLE RIGHT THERE. 50:22 BUT THIS IS WHERE THOSE PRINCIPLES REALLY BEGAN TO COME 50:26 INTO PLAY. BECAUSE I HAD TO LEARN SOMETHING 50:32 WHICH IS PROBABLY THE LAST THING-I'LL SHARE IN TERMS OF THE PRINCIPALS, IT'S SOMETHING THAT 50:40 I CALL FREE STYLING. I REALIZE THAT IN THE HIP HOP 50:45 WORLD WE WOULD FREE STYLE, AND PART OF FREE STYLING WAS, YOU 50:50 WOULD HAVE TO POINT TO AN OBJECT AND THE PERSON WOULD HAVE TO 50:54 RHYME ABOUT THAT THING ON THE SPOT AND MAKE IT RHYME WITH THE 51:00 NEXT OBJECT YOU POINTED TO AND MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. 51:04 AND I REALIZED I WAS DOING THAT WHEN IT CAME TO THE SCRIPTURES, 51:09 AND I BELIEVE JESUS WAS A FREE STYLER. 51:12 I DON'T THINK HE PREMEDITATED THINGS HE WAS COMING UP WITH. 51:16 I THINK HE WAS TALKING TO THE CROWDS, AND HE IS 51:23 LIKE -- CONSIDER THE LILIES IN THE FIELD. 51:26 AND WE WOULD JUST COME UP WITH -- BOOM. 51:32 LOOK AT THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS. HE WOULD LOOK AT THINGS AND COME 51:37 UP WITH SOMETHING. AND THAT'S WHAT I SAW MYSELF 51:40 DOING. I WOULD BE LOOKING AT -- LIKE, 51:43 LOOK AT THE GROSS. AND BE LIKE, LIKE, WHEN 51:46 HURRICANES COME THROUGH, THE BIG THINGS GET TOPPLED, THE HOUSES, 51:50 THE TREES GET UPROOTED, BUT THE SMALLEST THING, THE GRASS, IT 51:59 STAYS IN PLACE. [ INAUDIBLE ] THE HUMBLEST 52:05 THINGS ARE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE GREATEST STARS. 52:12 SO I WOULD LOOK FOR OBJECT LESSONS IN JUST THE EVERY DAY 52:16 THINGS OF LIFE. >> UH-HUH. 52:17 >> AND THAT BEGAN TO TEACH ME HOW TO BE STUDYING THE BIBLE ALL 52:21 THE TIME. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. 52:24 WHAT LESSONS CAN I PULL FROM DRIVING? 52:31 AND LOOK AT THE DIRTY DISH? JOOE -- JESUS IS TRYING TO WASH 52:39 ME. AND SOME OF THIS DIRT IS SO 52:42 STUCK ON -- IT'S NOT TRYING TO KILL ME. 52:45 IT'S JUST TRYING TO GET THIS DIRT OFF. 52:47 AND ULTIMATELY HE WANTS TO LIFT UP THAT PLATE AND BE ABLE TO 52:52 LOOK AT IT AND SEE HIMSELF. >> YES, THAT IS GOOD. 52:55 >> THAT'S GOOD. >> AND SO NOW MY DISH WASHING 52:59 TIME BECOMES GOSPEL TIME. LIKE OBJECT LESSONS. 53:03 YOU LEARN HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE, NOT -- OKAY. 53:07 NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO SIT DOWN -- YOU ARE STUDYING THE 53:10 BIBLE ALL THE TIME. YOU ARE TRAINING YOURSELF HOW TO 53:13 SEE THE BIBLE AND HOW TO STUDY ALL THE TIME. 53:16 >> UH-HUH. AND THIS IS SO RICH. 53:19 THANK YOU. IN YOUR ONLINE SCHOOL, 53:23 THE -- DID THE STUDENTS COME TO YOU WITH THEIR CHALLENGES, AND 53:27 THEY TELL YOU, THIS IS WHAT I'M DEALING WITH, BECAUSE IT'S 53:31 LIVE -- >> IT'S LIVE. 53:33 >> IT'S INTERACTIVE. >> SO QUESTIONS BACK AND FORTH. 53:37 HEY, THIS IS WHAT I STRUGGLE WITH. 53:39 WE GO THROUGH THESE PRINCIPLES, AND WE'RE DOING EXAMPLES. 53:44 I WANT TO TAKE GENESIS 1:26. LET'S QUESTION THE TEXT. 53:52 LET'S DIMENSIONALIZE THE TEXT. SO IT'S A VERY HANDS ON TYPE OF 53:58 EXPERIENCE. >> UH-HUH. 53:58 >> AND I THINK IT'S HELPING PEOPLE TO REALLY GET TOOLS THAT 54:02 THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO BEFORE. 54:05 >> YES. >> UH-HUH. 54:10 >> IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE TOOLS. 54:12 YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE TOOLS. 54:16 >> AND NOWADAYS ACCESSIBILITY IS KEY TOO. 54:20 I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE THE ONLINE SCHOOL. 54:23 YOU ALSO HAVE AN INSTAGRAM WHERE PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW YOU. 54:32 AND IT'S @IVORMYERS. >> YES. 54:50 >> WITH THE INSTAGRAM, WHAT DO YOU DO? 54:53 I KNOW IT'S PICTURES, BUT -- >> PEOPLE FOLLOW YOU AND THEY 54:59 WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AS YOU CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU'RE 55:03 DOING IN THE LORD, AND PEOPLE THAT SIGN UP WILL GET ACCESS TO 55:08 MATERIAL I'M PRODUCING, DIFFERENT BILE STUDIES AND 55:11 THINGS OF TAT NATURE. >> GOOD. 55:13 THAT'S GREAT. WHAT WOULD YOU SY ARE SOME OF 55:16 THE GRATEST CHALLENGES THAT YOU FACE IN BRINGING THESE 55:22 PRINCIPLES TO PEOPLE? >> I THINK PEOPLE FEELING THAT 55:27 THEY CAN'T DO IT THEMSELVES. >> HUM. 55:30 >> AND THAT'S MY GREATEST BURDEN. 55:32 PEOPLE GO TO A CAMP OR SOMETHING, AND THEY ARE 55:36 LIKE -- BY THE WAY COME TO AN ARMY BIBLE CAMP IF YOU WANT THE 55:40 FULL EXPERIENCE. IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO AN ARMY 55:43 BIBLE CAMP, GO TO MY WEBSITE, AND YOU CAN SEE THE CLOSSES 55:49 THERE. EITHER WAY, CHECK THEM OUT, BUT 55:51 I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME TO ARMY BIBLE CAM IF YOU CAN. 55:56 JUST GOOGLE IT ONLINE, AND YOU'LL SEE IT, BUT ENCOURAGING 56:01 PEOPLE, LETTING THEM KNOW, LISTEN, YOU CAN DO THIS 56:04 YOURSELF. >> UH-HUH. 56:06 >> WHEN PEOPLE HEAR MY TESTIMONY, THEY ARE LIKE, WAIT, 56:09 YOU WEREN'T TRAINED IN THE NORMAL WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS 56:13 STUFF? WHEN THEY HEAR THAT, I THINK 56:15 THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY MY TESTIMONY IS SPECIAL FOR THOSE 56:20 KIND OF PEOPLE. I'M JUST SAYING FOR THOSE PEOPLE 56:24 WHO ARE LIKE, YEAH, I CAN'T GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 56:26 THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT AN EX-HIP HOP ARTIST FOUND THIS STUFF 56:36 THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 56:38 >> AMEN. WE'RE CERTAINLY GRATEFUL THAT 56:42 YOU DID. AND WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU JOINED US 56:46 TONIGHT. WHAT A BLESSING YOU ARE TO THE 56:50 BODY OF CHRIST. >> THANK YOU. 56:53 >> JAY, DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS? 56:55 >> I'M JUST EXCITED TO HEAR THIS. 57:00 >> THANK YOU FOR HAVNG ME. >> ABSOLUTELY. 57:04 MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN TO THE NEW SALVATION SYMBOLS AND SIGNS. 57:11 GOD BLESS YOU, AND JOIN US NEXT TIME. 57:14 HAVE A GREAT EVENING. ♪ |
