The Hebrews Series - Message 19 - The Heavenly Calling

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:12] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. Jesus said in Matthew chapter 11 verse 27, Matthew chapter 11 verse 27, All ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I'll give you rest.

[0:30] That was 29th where I was going. He said, take my yoke upon you. And what? And what? Learn from me. Learn from me.

[0:41] The original, put the original King James, unless you have posted. He said, and learn of me. Learn from me is the normal way that human mind thinks about.

[0:52] He said, learn of me. In Ephesians chapter 4, verse 24, it says that, Put on the new man which is created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.

[1:05] So go to verse 23. I want to show you something quickly. Let's start from verse 22 or 21. 21, 28. But you have not so learned Christ.

[1:18] It's like he's a book. We learn him. And he said, come and learn of me. When you read from verse 17, he's talking about how we should not be like the unbelievers whose minds are blind.

[1:32] Verse 17 is that, This is therefore, that's why the Lord that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles in the futility of their minds. It's interesting.

[1:44] Verse 18. Verse 18 says that, Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God. They are aliens. When you talk about the life of God, unbelievers are aliens.

[1:56] They can't understand the way. That's why they can't get the things we do. If we make an attempt to win them by our appeal, we'll be shooting ourselves in the futility.

[2:11] Because what is appealing to an unbeliever is not what God presents. Because an unbeliever is alien. He's an alien to the life of God.

[2:22] So he doesn't actually know about it. Let alone to begin to want it. So when the church tries to appeal, when I say appeal, to be appealing to the world, we are loosening.

[2:38] Isn't it interesting that some of the things I'm learning as I walk with him, I'm learning him. Learning of Christ. The strength of religion is behavior and character.

[2:51] But the strength of godliness is insight. It's your insight that makes you unique. And that makes you be able to do things with God or God do things.

[3:06] It's your insight. It's not your character. But suffice it to let you know that your insight will always have an invariable positive impact on your character.

[3:21] Say insight. So what we gather here in church is not just to study theology. We don't come to study theology. We, we, we, we, because we are people of faith, we must have theology.

[3:36] Because faith is nonsense outside of facts. Your faith must have a platform. Faith in what?

[3:47] Their what is what is called theology. That doesn't make sense. I have faith in Jesus. Who is Jesus? What? I have faith in the chair. What's the chair? Okay. So it's different for what we, you know.

[3:59] So theology helps you to come to grips with the things that we believe in. Like gratuitous belief. Or it becomes superstition.

[4:11] Superstition is belief without reason. Yeah. Just take it like that because I think that should be. Belief without reason. But faith is different from superstition. Faith is belief with reason and facts.

[4:26] That is why everything recorded in scripture is factual, authentic, and provable. Every, listen, every name.

[4:36] I have not started my teaching yet. Every name mentioned in scripture is not fable. It's not. The scripture says we are not telling you fables.

[4:48] Peter said in, I think first Peter or second Peter. He said we are not telling you fables. We are eyewitnesses of the things we are telling you. The text of scripture is not fables.

[5:01] And I said Job. Job, sometimes people think it's just, he's a mythical, it's a myth. And the way when we are growing, Cinderella.

[5:13] These are fables. Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk. Fee foo foo foo. These are fables.

[5:26] But the Bible, the stories in the Bible are life that have been lived. So that is why I believe with all my heart.

[5:37] It cannot happen. It can never happen. But I believe with all my heart. What the way we are pursuing God. Some of us, the way we are pursuing God. If we lived in the days of Moses, they would have written about us too.

[5:52] You would have made it into the Bible. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So it's your insight. It's your insight. Now so one, I discovered that it's insight.

[6:03] And this insight as I'm learning of Christ makes me know that I do not have to target people with eloquence.

[6:16] Or with the style of our teaching. The style of our message is not what makes the difference for people.

[6:28] It is the substance, the content. Because if you are a newscaster and you are just focused on the polishing of your face and making putting bling on your teeth and how you see.

[6:43] Now after that, what are you going to tell us? Tell me something. I'm not interested in your gimmicks and stuff. So he said, we did not come to you with the enticing words of man's wisdom.

[6:55] But we came to you with the demonstration of Holy Ghost. He said, your faith will not rest. You see, your faith must have a platform. Yes. Your faith will not rest in human wisdom.

[7:10] But in the power of the Holy Spirit. Your faith can't rest in human wisdom. That is why he said, for the preaching. I had told me, the preaching of the gospel is foolishness.

[7:22] But he preached God, but through the foolishness of preaching, to serve those who believe. Doesn't have to be appealing. It has to be a message from the commissioner.

[7:40] That's why he said, how can they preach except they be saved? Is there preaching by the saint ones that generate the faith to be saved?

[7:50] Amen. Amen. Somebody shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. So we are here to learn of Christ. Someone say insight.

[8:02] Insight. So we are going for. And insight is not just taking, it is giving. You can't do it without the Holy Spirit. He said, I've got a lot of things to take me, but you can't take it.

[8:15] John chapter 16, verse 13. I've got so much to tell you, but you can't take it. You can't take it. yeah verse 12 i still have many things to say to you but you can't now you can't take it because these things are spiritually designed they are spiritually designed so he said because it is foolishness to the natural mind then how come god has given us a message to save the natural man and we are trying to appeal to their natural mind meanwhile we just read in ephesians that their understanding is darkened second corinthians 4 4 let the light of the glorious god whose mind the god of this age has blinded who do not believe let the light that's the light of the gospel of the glory of christ who is the image of should shine on them and there's another one i said we said that god who commanded the light to shine in darkness has shined in our hearts hallelujah so it takes illumination say illumination it takes the holy spirit first corinthians chapter 2 is chapter 2 verse 13 he says that verse 12 now we have received not the spirit of the world but the spirit who is from god that we might why have we received that we might i like this text man that hey i want today you know i want to finish my message end on the heavenlies heavenly we are going to heaven we are going to heaven right heaven on earth that's where we are going but then that we might know the things that have freely been given to us by god so without the spirit there's no way you can't know say holy spirit then look at the verse 13 i like the word the verse 13 it says that these things we speak so you can't be quiet about it this is speak not in words which man's wisdom you see this thing about man's wisdom man's wisdom the human the things we go to school we are trained with the things they are coming that are given to us by our education that's why when someone thinks is well so highly educated it doesn't get the fact that you're highly educated doesn't mean you are you are spiritually sensible you can be highly intellectual and highly educated and you are you are still a fool no yeah there's a difference between wisdom and cleverness the devil is clever he's not wise god is wise bible talks in ephesians chapter 3 verse 10 that the manifest the multifarious the many-sided wisdom of god god is wise the wisdom of god and that's why every christian must desire wisdom from god because you can't shine in life with you can't excel above others with common sense because common sense he wants to shine with commons no you can't shine with common sense you need wisdom the wisdom of god the wisdom of god in first corinthians chapter 2 verse 13 is that these things we speak not with wisdom and not with wealth man's wisdom teaches but with the holy spirit teaches comparing spiritual things so that's what we we transact when you to be honest sometimes the stock markets sometimes when they show us the you know these stock brokers and so many screens and then they are calling they are making for sometimes if you are not familiar with the job yeah what's going on why why has one person got so many screens is he able to read all of that and they can talk to the other guy check this one they're talking to and then they are they are watching and and now what they are comparing screens to screens compare now if you don't even understand one screen you can't move on to the other one where you start from spiritually matters it affects the the smoothness of your journey who teaches you matters i don't know what you should be doing in a church that can teach you the

[12:18] the oracles of god church is for that fundamentalist not for socialization he said i'll give them passes after my head who will teach them feed them hebrews chapter 2 verse 17 verse 17 verse 16 says no angels is give the help to but they give the help to the sons of abram we the sons of abram that's verse 16 for indeed he does not give aid to angels but he does give aid to the seed of abram verse 17 says that therefore in all things he had to be made like his brethren say brethren say brethren say brethren therefore in all things he had to be made he had to be made like his brethren that he might be a merciful and a faithful high priest in things pertaining to god and to make propitiation for the for the sins of the people he had to be like them in all things he he had to step where we we step he had to sit where we sit so that that's why he became a human being so that he can identify with us in order to secure himself the qualification to be our priest our high priest because he says that hebrews chapter 5 verse 1 it talks about how for every high priest is taken from among men so how come you be a high priest who is not from amongst men he must be from amongst us so jesus had to be one of us in in other to be able to represent us and because he was called to be a high priest he had to be like us all right so the 17 of hebrews chapter 2 he says that therefore in all things he had to be made like his brethren say his brethren he had to be made like his brethren that why why did he have to be made like that that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest when we talk about how many of us agree with me uh that jesus christ is the god man god man so when you talk about he was fully man and he was fully god and so when we talk about his high priest they were merciful and a faithful high priest we are talking about merciful had to do with him as a man he's a man who can understand faithful had to be with god his his deity his godness because when you talk about faithfulness you are talking about delivery with god all things are possible bible says that faithful is he who calls you who also do it bible says his name revelation whose name is faithful so his faithfulness has to do with his deity and his merciful that being merciful has to do with his humanity so that he can be a merciful and a faithful high priest faithful to the task he can represent us he can stand for us he can defend us i like the way first john chapter 2 verse 1 puts it he says that we we have an advocate with the father i've written this thing to you that you may not sin and if any sins we have an advocate you know who an advocate is an attorney someone who speaks on your behalf an attorney is speaking on your behalf and when he's finished he'll be paid but jesus paid with his blood so he can speak on your behalf the bible talks about he being the captain of our salvation he saved us now he's leading us out into glory leading us into heaven now he's someone asks stops us and says why are you going that captain you have to ask my captain and anyone who does stand before jesus said why are you setting them free he said i bought their liberty with my blood he's the captain of our salvation that he might be a merciful and a faithful

[16:24] high priest in things pertaining hebrews chapter 2 verse 17 might be that he might be a merciful and a faithful high priest in things pertaining to god to make propitiation for the sins of the people last week i touched on it you remember propitiation um that is like atonement is not the most accurate word actually propitiation to to propitiate appease wrath all right to appease wrath to make peace all right to appease the wrath of blood must speak all right so the sins that we have committed there's propitiation in the blood of christ so that we can enjoy mercy so as i told you last week the act of the covenant had some stuff inside the rod of aaron departed he had the manner in the golden the manner in the pot of the covenant and then he had the commandments then commandments the commandments of god the table were in it and then on top of it was the lid which is called the messy seat and then when the high priest enters the holies of holies once a year to present the blood of atonement he puts the blood on the messy seat he puts the blood on the messy seat it's not a chair but is there so what is in the ark before it deals with us and bible says that the angels on each side of the messy seat so what is in the ark for god to deal with us he had to deal with us through mercy how many of you agree with me you claim you are a christian you claim you are a christian as they tell you you claim you are christian you say you are christian look at the way you have behaved you call yourself a christian look at what you just said look at what you just did look at what you've just drunk claim you are a christian and so sometimes some of these things we are coming approaching god and they they linger it's like shadow behind us and you feel like you are you are most unsuitable to approach the throne of grace is that come boldly before the throne of grace come holy that you may obtain mercy why mess because he in romans chapter romans chapter 3 verse 25 i like that i think so yes who god set forth as propitiation by his blood god set jesus forth as propitiation by his blood through faith to demonstrate his righteousness in his forbearance god has passed over sins that were previously committed hallelujah but he did there must be grounds for him to pass over the sins that's the propitiation so he appeared with his own blood and he said that is it god that's why he's able to save to the uttermost that is why he is our faithful and merciful high priest speaking on your behalf regularly because what bars you from going before god is your sin your sin but there is and there is a bible says that there is one god bible says there is one god and one mediator between god and man the man jesus in the book of timothy 2 5 there is one god and one mediator is that is that something you can't understand by one god i was why he's saying the holy ghost is god and if you want to get understand how who god how he is then that's a different thing but there's one god everybody say we say one god one god propitiation so there's one god between god and man the man jesus so he stays in between us that's why i said come in we pray in his name we approach the throat of grace in his name in him read your bible very carefully you always find in him through him in him through him if any man be

[20:25] in christ he said it's when you are in christ it's not when you are not in christ second corinthians chapter 5 verse 18 i like that text so much that scripture verse 18 and verse 19 it says that now all things are of god who has reconciled us to himself through through who see that through that through jesus christ and has given us the ministry look at verse 19 look at verse 19 i like this that is that god was in christ reconciling the world to himself watch this not imputing their trespasses to them and has committed to us now it's not saying that the whole world god is not counting their trespass against them it is the in christ that makes him not impute your trespass against you so it is all in christ because why he shed his blood to propitiate god propitiate god behold the lamb of god john 129 who takes away the sins of the world and so he says that for he had to be like his brethren that he might be a merciful and a faithful high priest in things pertaining to god to make propitiation for the sins of the people verse 18 verse 18 yeah verse 18 says let's already allow are you ready all right let's go one more time say being tempted for he himself for in that he himself has suffered okay he went through certain difficulties now does that mean that when the temptation came he suffered meaning that the suffering there has to do with the feelings the the the challenge of feelings and the either your feelings went up or down he felt like jesus cried when wept when lazarus died that was temptation he felt it he felt it he was human he was thirsty he was hungry they beat him he died so he himself has suffered for in that he himself he was tempted it was tempted it has given him the audacity the ability to aid say aid the original word i mean in king james i think it's king james uses the word s-u-double-c yeah sucker sucker sucker secure secure secure he's able to sucker when the word the word tempted tempted sounds like p-i-e-r-o-r-a-z-o pirazo pirazo tempted it was brought under pressure you know something's brought under to to to that made him not happy when i said not happy it's like it's this shouldn't be like that so he's be felt it you know what i'm saying he himself was pirazo he was dead he's also able to aid sucker help give aid so you are in it and then stretches and toes you come help you to climb yeah come give aid because he's been there to help those who are being tempted is anyone here who get tempted one of the easiest ways of the avenues of temptation for the devil you really want to forgive your emotions and mess you up and some of us only forgive based on the feelings being tempted being tempted he's able

[24:31] to aid you he's able to you're trying to get up by your struggling he's able to aid you the gymnast as well write you know yeah and so we are wicked for my wife in nd i always see sick her kids like hang Jane in the mood however king said he said he was wrote a joke and brought her to course all the best as if she knew that he used to be able to or place her at home when you were saying tell him for a moment nothing instead i was focusing on king kanyei it's going to be up to die n fantasy or to a secret out in stephenes now she's kuriem well well you don't know that you think it will cut you out could be happy if you're staying there no part yes we've out proud like D-H-E-O D-H-E-O D-H-E-O in the Greek word to help to succor you can't go down when you have Jesus that is why does it make sense when the Bible says that but with the temptation there's no temptation that has come your way in 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13 there's no temptation that has come your way which is too much for you to bear there has no temptation no temptation has overtaken you except such such as is common to man say common when you go through challenges you have to commonize your challenge this one is common don't specialize as for me but you don't understand as for me no no no just commonize it because it's common to man if you were in the moon then it's common common to man even in the moon someone has been there common to man so it says that no temptation has come to you except that which is common it is we who specialize it but it's always arrived commonized do you understand by the time it's arriving it's already common you know when you buy some food it says they're ready to eat you don't have to go and cook it just ready to eat salad ready to eat you don't have to go and wash it ready to eat just pour it on your rice and your chicken and then ready to eat it came ready to eat it's already common yes yes who are we talking about who are we talking to pastor yes it's you you your problem the things you call challenges they are common others are going through and making doing well

[26:59] I so you think everybody's failing at that condition no it's only you and you don't have to fail because he says that with the temptation listen he says with the temptation he also makes a way of escape so if you got caught it's your fault he says that but God is God is faithful someone say God is faithful God is faithful you remember merciful and faithful high priest say God is faithful God is faithful I told you the faithfulness has to do with his divinity God is faithful put it on the screen again please God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to but with the temptation so your teacher don't say I can't do anything about this no no no there is a way of escape in the temptation it came with it sister you don't have to collapse another temptation don't give in there is a way of escape don't say

[28:02] I can't do anything as for this one ah it's too much what is too much it's too common you should be saved oh hallelujah how does this chapter 3 verse 1 Hebrews chapter 3 verse 1 let's all read it out loud together therefore holy Haggios holy who why I think he made a mistake you holy brethren in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 27 he called us holy again some translations omit the holy but it's there 1st Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 27 he calls us holy brethren this thing I'm telling you commit to the holy read it all to the holy

[29:10] I charge you by the Lord Jesus Christ that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren that's another one this is exciting but holy brethren someone say holy holy what does what's the meaning of holiness holy holy means separated set apart so holiness is not so much as as not initially fundamentally has to do with character as it has to do with godliness godness the godness because there's no one holy except God so in fact and he says that because God I am God 1st Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 16 he said I am holy therefore be ye holy for I am holy because it's written be holy for I am holy see so our holiness is derived from his holy that's why you can't be without the holy spirit it takes the holy spirit to walk holy hallelujah we have been saved from the penalty of sin it's called justified saved from the penalty of sin justified saved from the power of sin it's called sanctified sanctification has to mean that sin can arrest you and say no you have to do it you have to do it you have to do it and you are feeling oh I can't do it but you can't have power to abide no you have been saved from the power of sin sin doesn't have dominion on you when you are sanctified but you first have to be justified so that he empowers the holy spirit that will make you holy make you live holy so he says holy brethren call all of us holy he should have said therefore some of you holy brethren you know he called all of us

[31:08] Karim Majin you are also part of it hey you hallelujah hallelujah by the grace of God he included you among the holy brethren yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's the brothers who don't know you but you know yourself yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you know if the find out about you no one would like to sit near you in church yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you you look like it but you know that where you were coming from and every now and then the kind of temptation you acquiesced or you yield to is very concerning yeah you and he didn't say that some of you but he said all of us he added you to you should be saying thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus he added you to all of us he added us because we all come under the covering of his blood amen therefore holy brethren partakers of the heavenly calling yummy yummy yummy yummy

[32:20] I can't go on to the apostle and the high priest Jesus is the apostle the high priest then I'll talk about confession apostle and high priest but partakers it's like we are all part of it we are sharing it we are shareholders we are inside the team partakers we have legal rights and in the book of Hebrews he's used partakers and partners partakers and partners and a little why partakers of the heavenly calling called talking about all of us called yes for those he foreknew he also predestined Romans chapter 8 verse 29 to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren and if you are part of the brethren you see that word brethren holy brethren is it the brethren hallelujah because his brethren the children were flesh and blood he also shared in the same that through death he might deliver them and then verse 13 of him which are the two for he is not ashamed to call them brethren and then when we go to verse 17 he says that because his brethren in as much as verse 17 he had to be like his brethren then chapter 3 he said oh therefore holy brethren and then Romans is telling us that you know those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his son that he might be the firstborn among many brethren hallelujah but those he and moreover those he predestined he also called brethren holy brethren partakers of the you can't be a brethren without a calling hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah we are partakers we are not partakers coming to partake in communion we are not coming to partake in breakthroughs it's all part of the but originally you know what we are we are the reason why we get the breakthrough healings and all those is because we are partakers of something bigger and that big thing is a calling and it's not an ordinary calling it's a heavenly calling hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallups hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah of the life of Christ.

[35:23] The nature of God. The life of God. That's why we partake. Hallelujah.

[35:34] Therefore, our holy brethren partakes of the heavenly calling. Let me just say something short about heavenly.

[35:45] Say heavenly. Hebrews, the book of Hebrews, which tries to, oh, before I go there, I wanted to talk about Moses. Because chapter 3 is about Moses.

[35:56] The early part about Moses. Probably, which one do you want today? The heavenly or the Moses-ly? Heavenly. Heavenly. Time will not permit us to have both.

[36:07] Heavenly. Heavenly. Heavenly calling. In Philippians chapter 3, verse 14, it says, Philippians chapter 3, verse 14, a very interesting text.

[36:24] I press towards the goal of the prize of the upward call. King James said, high calling. I'm called. High calling.

[36:36] Heavenly calling. Now, because Hebrews was written to the river, the book of Hebrews is for the river crosses. Let me show you what we've crossed from. We have crossed from under the law into grace.

[36:50] Amen. We have crossed from flesh into the spirit. Amen. We have crossed from earthly things to heavenly things.

[37:00] Amen. Do you understand that? No, no, no, no. Heavenly. So, we, it's trying to say that, you see, the Old Testament, the priest, the law, everything is dead. That's amazing.

[37:11] But now it's a heavenly one. Because the tabernacle was an earthly tabernacle. But when you, as we go through Hebrews, you will find out that Jesus has actually entered a heavenly sanctuary. Heavenly.

[37:23] Let me show you a few things. So, he's kept talking about heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly. In chapter 4, verse 14, you can write those two hands down. In Hebrews chapter 4, verse 14, it talks about heavenly.

[37:34] It talks about how, who has passed, Jesus has passed through what? The heavens. Talking about our high priest. He's passed through the heavens. Our high priest has passed through the heavens.

[37:45] In chapter 6, verse 4. In chapter 6, verse 4. For it is impossible for those who have, are once enlightened and have tasted what? The heavenly gifts. Heavenly gifts.

[37:57] In chapter 7, verse 26. Chapter 7, verse 26. For such a high priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens.

[38:13] Heavens. So, Jesus Christ, earlier on, what we read, he says that he has passed through the heavens. Now he says he has become higher than the heavens. And then we ourselves, what we hear, we find out, is that we are partakers of the heavenly gift.

[38:28] Heavenly. Say heavenly. Heavenly. Chapter 8, verse 5. Chapter 8, verse 5. It says that, who serve the copy of the shadow of the heavenly things?

[38:40] Is it heavenly things? Sometimes we are made to live as though everything is about now. No, everything is not about now. Heavenly things. In chapter 11, verse 16.

[38:51] I like that. Chapter 11, verse 16. Chapter 11, it says, but now, they desire a better, that is a heavenly country. Talking about the fathers.

[39:04] They're just not focusing their attention on it. I'm just trying to draw somebody's attention to the fact that, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly. It keeps talking about heaven. It keeps talking about Hebrews. Because it's trying to let us know, we are heavenly people.

[39:16] Amen. Amen. We are not, we are heavenly. In fact, in Colossians, let me move out of Hebrew, come back to Hebrew. In Colossians chapter 3, I like that one anyway. Colossians chapter 3. Hmm.

[39:27] I can't wait to come to the apostle. He was sent from God to us with God. And high priest, sent from us to God with us. Colossians chapter 3, verse 1.

[39:38] It says that, if then you were raised with Christ, seek things which are above. Where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of the Father.

[39:50] Where is that? Heavenly places. In heaven. Verse 2. Verse 2. Look at verse 2. Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth. Right. But that's where we are.

[40:00] We are heavenly people. We are heavenly people. Verse 3. For you died, and your life is hit with Christ in God. Verse 4.

[40:11] When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you will also appear. So you as yourself, you shouldn't be living your own kind of life. Live the new kind of life of Christ.

[40:23] Then when Christ appears, what he has made you actually should appear as well. Amen. But heaven, it says set your mind on things above, heavenly things. Say heavenly. Heavenly. Why? Because we are heavenly people.

[40:34] We are not just ethnic. So in Hebrews, he helps, draws our attention to the things of heaven. Right. Things of heaven. Where Christ is seated. So he talks about heavenly gifts.

[40:47] He talks about heavenly calling. Hallelujah. Amen. And then we, what was the last scripture I quoted in Hebrews? 11.16. 11.16. A heavenly country.

[40:59] And then I like this one. You like it too. I know you do. Are you ready for that one? Yes. Hebrews of that 12. Verse 22. Woo. Heavenly Jerusalem. Yeah. But you have come to, you have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God.

[41:15] The what? The city of the living God. And then what? Heavenly Jerusalem. The what? The heavenly Jerusalem. The what? Heavenly Jerusalem. We are heavenly people. Come to the heavenly Jerusalem.

[41:27] Look at verse 23. So heavenly Jerusalem. Verse 23. Verse 23. It says, in the general assembly of the church, whose name are registered in heaven. Your, your, um, um, registration, you have actually registered.

[41:43] If you drive a car in town, and they pick your number plate, and they can't find your DVLA, this car is dangerous car. Dangerous car.

[41:54] In the same way, you can be going to church. Your mother gave birth to you in church. She actually, um, delivered you in church, in the, in front of the altar. Yeah, during praise and worship, you came out.

[42:11] Hallelujah. So, um, you came out during praise and worship. It doesn't make you registered Christian.

[42:22] You are not registered. They don't know you. Angels come, your name, you are not, your, uh, DNA. The DNA, the specific identification code, is not on the DNA, database of heaven.

[42:35] You are not heavenly. You are just one of the common, common people. How have you commonized by sin on earth? But it doesn't matter where you are coming from, your background, the sins you've, you used to commit and stuff like that.

[42:46] As soon as you give your life to Jesus, I couldn't say, heavenly voters registered, because we don't vote. This whole voting thing is not heaven, it's earthly. We are citizens, citizens of heaven.

[42:59] Heavenly, that's why we seek a heavenly country. That's right. We are in the innominable company of angels, and we are, we have come to heavenly Jerusalem, and then, uh, we, our names are registered in heaven.

[43:14] And then the last one, verse 25, he said, there's a warning from heaven. God is warning you from heaven. And in Hebrews chapter, uh, chapter 12, verse 25, watch this, verse 25, it says that, death, verse 25, Hebrews chapter 12, verse 25, see that you do not refuse him who speaks.

[43:32] For if they did not escape, who, uh, escape, who refuse him who spoke on earth. You see the earth has come. Earth has come. Um, how much more shall, shall we not escape if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven.

[43:49] There's warning coming from heaven. Hey, hey, don't move around any. Hey, hey, don't go there. Hey, don't move that man. Hey, don't go see my mother, pastor.

[43:59] Hey, there's a warning. Hey, don't go see your mother, child. Hey, don't steal the money. Hey, pay your tithe. Hey, pay. Oh, I think I have to say that. Pay your tithe. Pay your tithe.

[44:10] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yes, yes, yeah, build me a house. Build me a house. And he said, who need any message from heaven? We take others from heaven because we are the heavenly people.

[44:24] And we have a high priest who is in heavens. He has passed through the heavens. because we are the heavenly people even though we see ourselves on earth heaven listen when we go to heaven there's no time but because of time on earth i gotta rest my kids did you receive something at all somebody put your hands together from the lord and shout hallelujah thank you for listening to hear more from david entry follow him on facebook instagram twitter and linkedin why don't you subscribe to our youtube channel at carish church and subscribe to our podcast so you are always up to date be blessed
