Well, I'll tell you what, it is really, really, really good to be here tonight. In some circles, you hear people talk about this is not good enough or that's not good enough or the church is not painted the right colors.

You know, it doesn't have a paved parking lot. You know, it's always, somebody's got to pick about something. But you know what?

This may not be Billy Graham's tent revival. Okay? It may not be a multitude that came to hear Jesus talk about the new kingdom on the hilltop, which happened 14 times.

Every time there was a bigger, bigger, bigger crowd. And they came from afar to hear because who they were going to hear was the one that they had read about and had been looking for for thousands of years.

Because it was foretold that he would come. And when they heard that he was actually here, they prepared themselves and set forth out to get there.

And that's the reason why everybody got healed. Because they were prepared. They prepared. They prepared. Right here. So tonight, well, let's back up.

Yesterday, we were getting ready to hook up Joyce's dialysis. And as you know, anybody who's ever been on peritoneal dialysis, you know that it's a process. You know, you've got to turn the machine on.

You've got to set all the settings. You've got to put what size bags and what solution type is going to go in there. And what the prescription is that the doctor has for that to operate the way it does.

And it's going to take 10 hours to complete. And you've got to have the drain tube. And you've got to have this. You've got to have that. You've got to have your blood pressure, your weight. And everything has got to be right.

And so it can't be all on her. She's one laying there asleep. And it's cleansing her blood. So I take it upon myself to do my part by setting the machine up and everything.

And when you first turn it on, it'll say, hello, Joyce Drake. It'll just come across the screen. And it'll say, connect your bags. You know, so you connect the bags. Unclank the bags.

Hit go. Put in this. Put this to it. Put this at this setting. And then it says, at the end, it'll say, you may connect.

And I turned around and looked at Joyce. And I said, ye may connect. And I just kind of smiled. And then it hit me what I just said.

Ye may connect. Thank you, Lord. How many people here pray every day? I've got to ask that. I mean, my hands. And we pray because we want to connect up with God.

We want to hear from Him. And we want Him to hear from us. Amen. But God gave me that message.

Ye may connect. And when I started praying and searching it out, I found that there was 12 things that everybody here.

I mean, this looks like a small crowd to some people. But you know what? God's got the people here tonight that He wants to hear this message.

Amen. That's right. And I believe that. You remember the last time I was here, I laid my Bible down right here on this floor. And I stood on it because God told me to do it.

You can't do that in just any church. Amen. They'll throw you out the door. You stood on the Holy Bible. Are you kidding me? God tells you to do something. You better do it. Yes.

And I remember the lady in the back row got up like this to look to see if I was actually standing on that Bible. And if you remember, you remember when I was here, what I had said.

I do this as a testimony. I stand on every word of this Bible from cover to cover. No other version will do.

Amen. Amen. So, whoever's here tonight, this is for you. Amen. And there's 12 things that you absolutely, positively have to have right here.

And if you don't have it right here, you need to pray that God will open up your heart and make a way for that to enter in so that you can have that. Because we all need this.

You say, well, Brother Drake, we've got the blood. Jesus was the way maker. He still is. We've got God the Father to pray to.

Jesus said, as I wrote in that book, in that day, ask me nothing. They've got something to get to the place where Jesus says, in that day of your need, when you get to that day, ask me nothing.

Wow. But he's the Messiah. He's the one that came with the promise. And we're not supposed to ask him for anything. He says, but ask my Father in my name, and he will give it you.

I'm sorry, but I stood on this Bible for a reason. I wanted everybody to know. Cover to cover, I stand on it. Every word in that King James.

I was searching out in the concordance these 12 things, and my tablet kept showing, you know, it's the new international version.

That's not it. And I hit the next one. King James, the new King James. No, I kept going down to that. I looked, and there was like 72, no, 74 different versions of the King James document.

Wow. Yeah. What a world we're living in. Saints. Brother David, you're a veteran, aren't you?

Yes, sir. See? You understand. We were there. Yeah. And we're still fighting. We still have our armor, and we have our weapons.

And we're still fighting. Now, sister, wife, friends, neighbors, Seth, we're all in the military way.

We're all fighting. Amen. And we've got to fight the good fight to the very end. Yes. And Jesus expects nothing less because He showed us what it would take when He was here.

Thank you for it. So, for those that don't think this is a very big church and this is not a very big crowd, every one of you here are going to hear what you need to make it.

Thank you. I mean, you know, absolutely, we have to have the blood. We have to have just this much faith to believe in Jesus that He was the Messiah and that He has come and He is coming back again.

For His bride. We know all that, too. But there's 12 things. It's like you're an alcoholic and you go to Alcoholics Anonymous and they say, well, here's 17 steps to get over this alcoholism.

I mean, here's steps as well. There's 12 reasons. Wow. I didn't know. But anyway, there's 12 things that you all need.

And I'm going to go through them one at a time. And I hope you're taking notes. If you need a piece of notepaper, say so. I'll give you a pen and a piece of notepaper and you'll have no excuse for not writing this down.

Anybody here not have anything to write on? You got it? Okay. You need a piece of notepaper? David, can you share it with that?

Number one, the very first thing that you need. The word Father.

Now we know who our Heavenly Father is. Okay? And the Hebrew word for that is the number 3962.

if you want to look it up. And it means parent. Everybody here has parents. Either they've gone on or they're still with us.

But you have parents. And you respect your parents. And when your parent says, look, child, listen up. I'm going to tell you something. My daddy, he would always talk at the dinner table.

And if daddy raised his, stopped eating, raised his fork, everybody shut up. Because he was fixing to say something. And he'd say, tomorrow, when I get home, I want them, that grass cut.

Or it's not going to go well. And he'd play that fork back down and he'd go on to eat and I'd look at my brother like, I got that. You know, like, but when dad wanted to speak, he raised that fork up and everybody better shut up.

He was going to fix and say something important. Sometimes it was where we're going on vacation or sometimes it was you better start pulling at least three rows of that corn, the weeds out of that corn.

All the way down to the end and back up. Three, at least, no less than three. But anyways, so we've got to respect our Father, our Heavenly Father.

We've got to, we've got to be obedient to Him. And we've got to let Him lead, guide, and direct us in all things. Because He will.

God loves us more than we can fathom. Some people say, oh, I know about God's love. It is awesome. It's awesome.

No, you're just scratching the surface. The Bible says, who can know the love of God? Who can understand Him and His ways? We may think we do, but it won't be until we get over there that the enormity will hit us.

Yes. How enormous and how long and encompassing God's love for His people really is. Number two, heaven.

And that Hebrew number, if you want to look it up, is 3772. And that simply means a prime root word being God's abode.

Now, I'm not talking about the first heaven, the second heaven, but the third heaven that's above everything because God is the head over all things.

Sister Hinton used to say, look, He's either the head over all or He's not the head at all. Every one of you got to make up your mind.

I know what I believe. Thank you, Lord. And she said that once. She said that a half dozen times, but she only had to say it one time for these years to hear it. And I wrote it down in the back of my skull.

And I said, yeah, I say, either head over all or head not at all. That's right. And some people don't. You run into people that don't believe God's head over all. You run into them every day.

You can make a list a mile long because there's people out there and in this day and age of, what is the word that describes people when they're, Joyce, I was just telling Joyce about it just yesterday, that anymore people feel like they're obligated to receive anything they want.

What's the word I'm looking for? Privileged. Privileged. Now it's a privileged world. Everybody's privileged. I can change my sex.

I'm now a giraffe. And I'm a female giraffe. Because that's what I say and you have to accept that. You know what I tell them? My pronoun is U.S. citizen.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. I don't hear anything now. Yeah. So, you know, but everybody's entitled. You know? Entitled, yeah.

And I looked through and I thought, wow, man, there's that many. I thought there was just like eight versions of the Bible. A new international version, good news for modern man.

You know, but man, there's King James this, King James this, this, this, this, this, this. Holy cow, man. This list just goes on and on. These are all versions of it.

And you know where they got these? Right here. New international version came from here. Good news for modern man came from here.

Yeah. The Bible that says you can be a homosexual and still go to heaven. They had to have this in order to write the Bible that suited them.

Amen. That's true. So, when I look at King James I in 1747 when he made a decree that went out through all the land in England that every family should have this Bible in the English language because it was the common language throughout the known world at the time.

Right. Okay. Not everybody was speaking it but they knew it. Yeah. Okay. So, 39 scribes. He got the hold of the Pope and had an audience with the Pope and the Pope says, I got 39 scribes.

Use them as you wish. And it took like, what was it, seven years? It took a long time. They started out with N in Genesis 1 and 1.

And they had to agree, all of them, on the interpretation of that word and they put it down in English. The. And then, beginning. And it took over seven years for them to translate the entire Torah, all the Old Testament books and the New Testament books.

they had to translate it all into English. And it is the most accurate that you will find in the land. That's why all these entitled people that say, well, I'm from planet Zuzu and I've done changed my sex and I'm now somebody else and I, this Bible speaks against me so I'm going to change this.

That's going out and this is going out and cross that out and this here and next thing you know we've got Zuzu Bible 79.

And it is, you know, it's all entitlement all over the world anymore. I can, when God does battle and he sends a bride out here to kill all of his enemies, there's going to be enemies that are going to be killed in the battle of Armageddon that we don't even, we hadn't even considered.

We just think it's going to be Muslims or these unbelieving tribes here in the Congo and so on and so forth. No, they're living right next door to us.

Yeah. Okay? Literally. They're in our schools. Yeah. Amen. They're in our government. It does. This one, that one. They got me, this woman that's, where is it?

This Saran or whatever, it's in New York and she's elected a senator. What was her name? And she was full-blown Muslim and she, and she, and they believed to get rid of these, the evil Satan America and she believed that.

Yeah. And she's a senator. Yeah. So tell me not to rather everywhere you look. Okay? They are. So, heaven is God's abode and we've got to get that in our heart that God is in a third heaven.

He's, this is his abode and he is the head over all things. We've got to get that right here in our heart. It's got to be written on the tablets of our heart.

The next word, hallowed, be his name. And that means, that's, if you want to look up the Hebrew number is 37, that means to purify and consecrate his name when you speak it.

Thank you, Lord. Now, there is in the, well, let's see, up until just in the last hundred years, there was in Jerusalem a certain sect of the Hebrews religion that if you wanted to talk about religion to one another, you'd say, well, God did this for me yesterday and he did this for me.

He said, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You need Hashem, which means the name. You didn't take God's name in vain, you know, just throw it out there left and right.

I mean, they died in the womb to leave that. I mean, you'd throw it out the front door and you'd throw it out the back door. You wouldn't even get in the front. If they'd throw you out the back door for you saying the word God three times in one sentence, even though you know, we left up God's name right here in this church.

They are so hardcore believers that they are chosen people and were brought all the way to here to the promised land that you just literally don't want to say the word God to write it on a piece of paper and show it to you.

Don't speak it because they didn't want to take the slightest chance that they would forsake His name. you know, out of context or something and have to be blamed for that by God.

Okay? So, serious, serious religion. So, consecrate and purify His name.

Number 932 is the kingdom which speaks of royalty. His kingdom that He has set up for us to occupy all of eternity for and in is royal.

Yes. It is a royal kingdom. Yes. And nothing in any other world, in any other galaxy, anywhere, in the entire created universe can it be put asunder.

It is a royal kingdom. Unlike the kingdom of Jehovah Witnesses, say for instance, that, you know, they believe what they want to believe.

Okay? And it's not in the King James Bible. That's right. Okay? Or some people that live in the Congo that's never seen a white man. Okay? And they believe what they want to believe.

Now, this kingdom that He speaks about is royalty because it's the head of that is a royal family known as the Father and His Son.

So that's good enough for me. That works for me every day of the week and three times on Sunday. The next word you're going to have to get down in your heart is His will.

Now, you all know where I'm at in the Bible. Everybody know where I'm at? I didn't tell you yet but you know where I'm at. Matthew 6 chapter. Our Father which are in heaven hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come. And we know that Jesus is at the root of that. He's the one that's going to bring the kingdom right to our feet.

It's here for us. Thy will be done. We've got to get His will down in here in this heart.

It's got to be engraved on these tablets of stone in our heart. Or we're just kidding ourselves about getting out of here. We've got to have His will.

His will is more important than our will. Is that not right, Brother David? Is that not right, sister? Joyce, tell me if I'm saying something that's out of context here.

Give us this day our daily bread. Now, does anybody have any idea? And don't dare say pumpernickel.

Anybody have any idea what that bread is? He broke it at His last supper. He said, take this. This is my body.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. We've got to know that when we took communion and took that little wafer and put it in our body, we had a part of Him in us.

We have to accept that. And when we accept that, we accept His suffering. And that's what makes us a part of His family.

That's what makes us His brethren. Every one of us. I'm sorry. Forgive us our debt.

The debt Jesus paid on that cross, if we had all the money on the planet and a thousand other planets on top of that, we still couldn't pay for the debt.

Jesus paid it all and then some and continued. He paid the debt. We couldn't pay. There's no way we could pay the debt that we owe the Father for our sin that we were born into.

Once we realize the depth of that sin, that debt, how in the world, how in the world can an ungodly man say, well, I've massed $20 million over the years, I just give it all to the church.

I feel so good. I'm ready to go to heaven. I'm ready to die. I've got cancer. I can go now. No, you haven't settled nothing.

That's right. If you had a billion, billion, billion, billion, billion dollars, you still wouldn't settle the debt. You can't pay it. It can't be paid by human flesh and bone.

Lead us not into temptation. temptation. If we don't let the Father lead us, Brother Hinton always says, lead, guide, and direct me, Lord, that I don't miss it.

Your way is above my way. Even though I think I know the right way, if it ain't written in that Bible, and if God has not revealed it to me, then it's not the way until I'm told to.

He's chosen to me, then I know it. Then I know it in here, and I've got it in here, and no man can take it away. Think about it. A leader that you cannot lose those you're leading, because they won't let it go.

They can kill me a thousand times because of what I believe. I believe that God led me to that. just to see if I would still believe in Him.

So we've got to be led. Yeah. got to turn the page.

after this manner, therefore, pray ye, and this is how we pray, and this is how we get connected to the Father when we pray.

Lead us, verse 13, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. We've got to let God deliver us.

Just because we accept Him for who He is and He's the head over all things, we can't go on and do our own delivering.

Okay? We just can't deliver ourselves. We've got to let Him deliver us from these things. And the next thing on there is for He's deliver us from evil, lead us not into temptation, semicolon, for thine is the kingdom.

Now, here's the last three things. Yours is the kingdom. Yours is the power. glory. And yours is the glory.

And if we can just get those last three things, then we have everything we need to make it. Because you won't have any excuse for not praying every day and seeking His will and His purpose in us and keeping these things written on the tablets of our heart so that we don't forget them.

we cannot forget who He really is. He's our heavenly Father. We have to realize that His kingdom is of a royal nature.

Yes. We have to remember that when we take communion that it really is His body that we're taking into our body and become part of us.

and that we can't pay the debt. He has to lead us. He has to deliver us. Because the kingdom and the power and the glory is all His.

It's all about His name. God and you say, well, Brother Drake, have you always believed that? I'm still on a learning curve.

Yes, me too. heard. I was, when I was back in the beginning, when I was telling Joyce, I said, well, how did I say that, Joyce?

Be thou connected now or something? You may connect. Now you may connect. You may connect. Yeah. Oh, thou may connect. And when I said that, it's like God opened up a corner of my brain and said, hey, listen to what you just said.

Did you hear what you just said? Did you listen to what you just said? You just said something that I wanted you to understand and realize. You've got to get connected.

We all got to, and then I started searching it out and I found all the twelve parts right there in one scripture. The whole thing.

Matthew 6, 9 through 13. And I challenge you when you go home tonight and you go to bed, take a detour and get on your knees next to the bed and just silently, not to your spouse, you can hear, but just pray, Father.

These twelve parts of this, I need every bit of this, but I know that you're going to give it to me in pieces so that I can get it down solid because I don't want to miss any one of them and I don't want to misunderstand its purpose and I want to make sure that it's written on the tablets of my heart because I need this in order to make it.

when Jesus splits the eastern sky, I want him to see those things written on my heart and he will. So I challenge you when you go and when you wake up the next morning and you're praying over your food, just simply say, Father, those twelve things that I need, you're going to start giving them to me today.

You know where my journey takes me today. Work, store, cooking, cleaning, helping the neighbor, working in the garden, whatever.

You know where my steps are today and they're going to be part of all of this, these twelve things because I want to get them down. Every day, ask the Father.

Now Jesus said in that day, we're talking about that day right now, believe it or not, ask me nothing, but ask my Father in my name and he will give it to you.

Now you may not give it to you just like that, but if you really study these words out, you study this list out, and you pray about it each night and every morning when you get up, sometime during your journey, just barely up the road a little bit, God's going to reveal something to you, it's going to take you to, oh, the bread, that's right, I see it now, yes, yes, or it'll take you to deliverance, something will happen, somebody will get saved because you witness to them and then you go, delivered, they got delivered, that's part, they have their part, they have that, they're on their way to getting the other living, they got delivered, they got the victory, but if we pray this every day,

I challenge you, each and every one of you, you are here tonight because God wants you to have this list, I firmly believe it, this is awesome, it's not the bride's message and all of that, you know, the different garments and the 30, 60, 100 fold, okay, but it's what you need to have written right here on this heart, tablets of your heart, these things need to be written down there in a way that you will never forget, so pray every day, even if you just pray once every night, or if you pray every night and when you get out of bed in the morning, or while you're driving to work, I get my, most of my prayer time, me and God is when I'm driving to work, when I used to have that Harley Davidson, I used to work in Owensboro, you know what I did going down the road?

Bless the Lord, oh, my soul, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, cars going by the other way, did you see that Larry, did you see that was, I got a Harley singing, man, what was that?

I don't care, yes, man, I sung that very song, right out going down the highway with that Harley Davidson roar, man, I get my best prayer time when I'm driving down the road, going to work, going to come in here, or going wherever, it used to be before I had a car, even had a way back before I met Joyce, I didn't even have a car to get to church, I had to walk from Island to Livermore, and walking will clear your mind, you'll think out solutions to every problem when you start walking, I'll tell you, it will do a body good, it will do a mind or a soul good, it really will, but it helped me, and now I've got two vehicles, don't have a motorcycle no more, but, you know,

God cut that off, but, yeah, he did, really, and I had that stroke, you know, the doctor says, I understand you've got a Harley, you're riding all the time, I said, yeah, I go everywhere on that Harley, I love it, he says, it's for sale now, you're done, what do you mean, I've got a t-shirt that says Harley Davidson on it, I don't have a tattoo, but I wish I had a tattoo, it said Harley, I feel my arm, you know, love mom and my Harley, you know, whatever, what do you mean, I got a t-shirt, I got a t-shirt, what do you mean, I got a t-shirt, what put you on blood thinners, but, there's a small chance you could still have another stroke, and you do not want to have a stroke, riding that thousand pound motorcycle, down the highway, I don't care if there's 40 friends around you, and they're all going in the same direction, it's just going to be a 41 person pilot, you don't, you don't, you're done, right, then you sell that bike, because your life is more important than that motorcycle, and he didn't know,

I started out with a Triumph when I was in high school, then I, then years later I got me a CB750 on the four-cellular wrong, that thing would do 140 miles an hour, I even tried on Kings Highway in Canada one time, me and a friend, we had, his was new, mine was new, and we, I put my chin on that gas tank lid, and them gauges right in front of me, and I was laying there, until that speedometer said 140, then we backed off, and I said, well, I know it'll do it now, yes, but I always wanted that Harley, and then in 2012, we went to the dealer, and I grew a warm home, don't look at me like that, George, I know, I haven't seen that, but I had to talk her into it, she still wouldn't smile, she got on it one time with me, but anyways, but I had to give it up, so you know what, I'd give up anything, just to make it in the bride, I got 12 reasons now, and I want y'all, y'all wrote this down,

I haven't copied it up, I have not printed it up for you, I've explained it, where it's at, and you can take it, and you can circle around every one of those words, our Father, which art in heaven, I'll be thy name, kingdom, give us our daily bread, forgive us, our debts, I'll tell you another thing, is being offended, it's not even on this list, but throughout your day, people will go out of their way to offend you, and you know what, I reject those offenses, when somebody says something about my family, you know, they're all no good, and they're all a bunch of crooks, they all need to go to prison, you know, blah, blah, I think, I'm going to not be offended by that, see, the Bible says for offenses will come, but everything that comes your way is for a purpose, it's, we're still in grade school, and we're going to graduate one day, when Jesus shows up, we're getting our diploma, we're getting out of here, so we've got to learn by experience,

I remember in high school, we were learning about, what is it, when you take a transit, and you go around, and you put a stake here, and then you're so many degrees in that direction, you put another stake, when you go around here, a half a mile, and you put another stake, and you measure the angle, and then you come back to that same starting point, and we all had a board, and three pieces of wood that was attached to it, and it was, had degrees, we had to put on there, and then we go out, around the football field, around the field, around the football field, and we had to transit, and put some little flags out on the ground, and we had to show the teacher that we had 14 degrees in this, and then 72 degrees to the left, and then we went back 14 more degrees, and then back over 92 degrees in this direction, and they came back, and they totaled up to 360 degrees, full circle, and they came out accurate, he said, now you know about surveying, okay, but you were tested to see whether you learned what he was teaching you, in the classroom, we actually went out there in that field and did it, and it's something you won't forget, see, so, so, you will be tempted by what you're learning here tonight, and the devil, he's the tempter, okay, and he's going to try and talk you out of it, that that's not important, what's important is that you serve me, no, that's not even on the chalkboard, if it was a million miles long, he wouldn't be on there,

I ain't serving you, I serve Jesus, and my heavenly father has sent him, okay, now, we're going to do an example, okay, and see what we know about God's headship, brother David, when you come up here, we're going to play God, we need somebody of a mature age, somebody, we don't need a teenager, we need you over here, and here's God, and God's on his throne, right, okay, Seth, I want you to get up here, Seth is going to portray Jesus, now where's Jesus at, here's the father, now where's Jesus, right hand, right hand, everybody believe that, does the Bible not say that, Jesus sits on the right hand of the father, am I right, okay, we being grafted in, thank you

Lord, whoops, whoops, no, no, we being grafted in the family, where are we at, wow, where would that place us, right over here, okay, okay, so now, you ever heard that song, made it a circle, be unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by, thank you Lord, you don't know how that touches my heart, we're not here, that song, because you know, when we raise our hand, I'm holding Jesus' hand with my left hand, he's holding the father's right hand, and I'm over here with my hand lifted up, praise the Lord, I'll praise the father for what he said, and I found out that in my hand is engraved his name in the

Hebrew letter that means name, it's in my hand, I was born with it, everybody here has it in their right hand, you didn't know that, did you?

Okay, see this index finger, and the finger next to it, look right where they connect, right here, just hold your hand and look, and you'll see when you relax your hand and bring your fingers together, and let your palm of your hand freeze up, and look right, and a tiny letter looks like a W, if you look in the old archaic Hebrew lettering, the original language that Adam was actually speaking when he first opened his mouth after God created him, the letter W, which starts with what looks like a backward Y, and then there's another branch that comes down to it, and another branch that comes down curved below that, it's like a W with the first heart hanging down, okay, and that means name, and there's only one name back then, so Jesus didn't come yet, it's the name of the

Father, Hashem, if you look right there, right there, where your two fingers come together, if you just relax enough and look straight, at the big crease that the fortune dollars look at in the palm, okay, it is, you know, it's not the big everybody's palm, it's the same there, what I'm talking about right up where that index finger and the next finger join, right in there in that corner, there it is, a little line that goes down, and there's another one next to it, and another one below that, same angle, which will right there, I see it, I see it, Seth sees it, you see it, David, I see it, I see it, but I don't see it, I don't, I don't, I mean, I see like a other view, but I don't think, I don't see anything, there's a little crease there, and there's another one that connects to it, and there's another one below that, and it's right there, wow, it's only right here,

I see it, sorry, I didn't see it, Seth sees it, David sees it, if you look, if you just stretch your hand out and look, you'll see it a lot further, and relax your hand, you'll look, and you'll see the other right next to it, now the Bible says that your name is in my palm, or my hand, so if our names are in his hand, then his name is in our hand, that make sense, and it's actually right there, somebody told me about that and I didn't believe it, and then after I had this little accident with my hand, which was a piece of stainless steel that ended up right there between my thumb and fork, I was cleaning out the back of my truck, that piece of metal hit that, I thought, oh man, this is going to hurt, I just pulled it out, and my guy had one of the choices, he was saying, big foundation, why, and she looked, the flow was running down the aisle and everything, so when she was wrapping it up,

I got to looking, and I thought, well, there's that there's that loveyous right there, it's in the bottom of my hand, and I wish, I wish I had printed it up on a sheet where you could see it, but it's like, well, I know, I will just draw it for you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it looks like it, see how it looks like a W, that is the Hebrew letter, and the ancient, original, well, Google it, ancient, original, Hebrew letters, and you'll see the name, it's actually that's the name of God, in one letter, that's how they wrote it, and if you look, and if I find where I showed you, on the palm of your hand, right between those two fingers where they come together, if you'll look close enough, you'll see it, you saw it, it's there, isn't it?

And it's not in my left hand, but it's in my right hand, but it's in my left hand, holding on to Jesus, and his left hand is holding on to the Father, and when that happens, I lift up my right hand, and the Father's name is here, the circle is complete again.

Thank you, is that awesome, or is that awesome? The Father's name right there in the palm of our right hand, and we were born with it, we were created with it, Adam had it in his hand.

now, here's, I said all that to say this, if I can just get, where did I put it, oh, Genesis 1 and 26, okay, God's, now God's speaking here, okay, now who's he speaking to?

We're talking about the very beginning of the creation scriptures, the world, the stars, the sun, the moon, the waters, the dry land, Adam and Eve, none of that's been created yet, and he says, let us make man in our image, after our likeness, now, I was a teenager, we was living in Michigan, we'd come down here to Livermore to visit relatives, that kind of vacation time, we'd go around visiting relatives, and my aunt, who was in church every Sunday, we'd show up on Saturday night, and I said, I asked her, I said, what's this scripture mean?

She says, I don't know, but I'll ask the pastor, and he would know, and when she got back, the women all started cooking up, and I says, Aunt Martha, Ann, what did the pastor say about that?

Oh, yeah, I did, I asked him about that, Genesis 1, 26, I said, what did he say? What did he say? She said, we said he didn't know. Okay, alright, good enough, yeah, I'll accept that.

You know what happened? My feet were planted on a journey from that day forward. I had to find out what all these secrets were. I found out.

Jesus is his only begotten son. So when God was talking about the creation and how he was going to create everything, he was talking to his son.

I thought, why didn't this preacher know that? You know, that was a preacher in the South, are you kidding me? They were born with a Bible in their hand. You know, like, wow, he didn't know that. So anyways, yeah, that set my feet on a journey to find out.

Everything about this Bible that I could. And that's when I realized that this book could not be written by any man.

There are codes hidden in the scriptures that it takes a lot of effort and accidental discovery most times to see them.

okay? But it says, let us make man in our image after our likeness.

So if we were made in the likeness and the image of God, then that means Jesus had the same letter in the palm of his hand man, and everybody after that.

Because Jesus, did he not come down as a man? how else could he have been crucified and died on that cross?

And never before the time of the Roman army, and shortly thereafter, when the Roman army was destroyed and all that history goes away, was crucifixion a time, a method of getting rid of their enemies.

Okay, I'll get it right in a minute. Okay, so if the devil, if God's ahead over all these good things, then the devil must have been part of that crucifixion.

See, everybody was born with God's name in their hand, and here comes the devil, I'll fix that. So when Jesus gets here, I'll blow it out his father's name with a spike.

I'll put a nail right through that name. Makes sense. I see his purpose now. See, Satan was behind the whole thing.

Yeah, he said, I happen to know something nobody else knows. The father's name is in everybody's hand, and we get him on that cross. We're not just going to tie him. I wonder, why didn't they just tie him up to the cross beam on that cross?

They're going to pierce his side anyway, and he's going to die on the cross. He's going to beat half to death as it is. Why did they have to nail his feet and hands to the cross? Well, yeah, there's a way of blotting out that name.

I'll blot out his father's name. You won't be able to call him. If I don't have his name, we'll have a nail right through it. Didn't work, did it? So, that's what you got.

The next verse, it says, now, let's follow this like it's written. let us make man in our image after our likeness.

And the very next verse, verse 27, so God created man in his own image. Wow. Whoa.

Wait a minute. There's a mistake. Let me read this again. I go back to Genesis 1. 20. It's our image after our likeness. And then God created man in his own image.

That is the way it's written. Well, that don't even make any sense. Well, I found out. I found out what sense it really made. See, it wasn't until after God was suggesting to his son that we were going to make man in our own image.

Your image and my image. He was telling his son. And after our likeness. So he was saying that when we create man, we're going to be in our likeness.

It wasn't until after Jesus died, on the cross, that he became God incarnate.

Am I right? He did say, when you see me, you see the Father. When you hear the Father, you've heard me.

For me and the Father are one. See, the man that they set free Barabbas, you know what that word interprets? Son of the Father.

The word Abba is right in it. Barabbas. Wow. That's that's so, yeah, so let's let's let's prove let's prove what I was saying.

Let's go to Exodus. Exodus. You've got a Bible to turn to Exodus, the 14th chapter.

We'll give you time to find it. This is going to blow you over. I'm going to give you black ink on white rice paper, proof that God wrote this Bible.

God guided Moses' hand to write all these occurrences, all these things that happened. The first five books known as in the Hebrew culture as the Torah, okay, are attributed to Moses, okay?

Everybody there in chapter 14, Exodus 14, all right, look at verse 19, and the angel of God which went before the camp of Israel removed and went behind them and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face and stood behind them and it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel and it was a cloud of darkness to them but it was gave light by night to these so that the one came not near the other all night and Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea dry land and the waters were divided now these are referred to if you want to have that whole those three scriptures 19, 20, and 21 in parentheses it would do you would do well just just do it with a pencil so you can erase it if you have to but I just in my Bible I've got them highlighted and in parentheses okay because this is a this is important these are referred to as the salvation of

Israel scriptures where the Egyptian horsemen and chariots were bearing down on them and were about to arrive on the scene and God split the waters and got a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke to hold the Egyptians back and they cannot cross that pillar of fire they couldn't see through the smoke they were held back and prevented from having a victory over the Israelites or the Hebrew children okay while God was parting the sea and they were able the whole multitude was able to cross on dry land and be free and of course we know what happened when you know they all got across alright you know where they're all at get them and run them down to this day they they found the crossing place they know where they crossed the Red

Sea at because it's the only place where there's a levee that juts out on both sides and it's shallower than it is anywhere else on the Red Sea and the Arab nation put a pillar of stone to mark that place and on it says in translating it to English it says something like this is where the man Moses led them out of bondage in Egypt and the Egyptians died here and couldn't succeed and that Moses was a hero okay that pillar is still there so they sent divers down in the water and you know what they found chariot axles and wheels encrusted in algae they found the they found the wreckage of the Egyptian army that drowned when God let the sea cave in on them after the last one of the

Hebrew children got out on the other side it actually has like discovered there's the ark there is Noah's ark holy cow look at that we found it you know it's like this miracle old discovery they they knew the location and they sent divers down there and sure enough they took pictures and they got pictures of all these things that they found that's encrusted and the one I saw on National Geographic magazine and it showed an axle sticking up out of the bottom with this wheel that had spokes and it was all encrusted in algae that's right down there about 80 feet down in the Red Sea where they know they crossed how does a chariot axle and wheel get in the bottom of the Red Sea all by itself I mean this is not evidence this is the discovery of Noah's Ark like all over again like wow here's another part of the

Bible of Reuben you know how can you deny it now you take now here it is now everybody pay attention because I'm going to show you something who here has a transliteration Bible where it shows the Hebrew words alongside the English words you do well to find one because you'll be able to see where it says and the angel of God written in Hebrew and you'll know the lettering for those words okay if you take and translate verse 19 20 and 21 into Hebrew letters okay get you a Hebrew Bible and find the three verses and you'll see what I'm talking about alright take the middle verse and take the last word which is night and make that the first word and so on and so forth so that the word and at the beginning of verse 20 ends up being the last word okay so you got verse 19 20 21 verse 20 reversed okay now you now you stand back and take the first letter of verse 19 and the first letter of verse 20 and the first letter of 21 which would be verse 20 would be the word night would be the beginning word okay you with me

Seth okay you come back you take those three Hebrew letters for those three words and you come up with a word now there those three scriptures have a total of 72 letters and this Jewish rabbi who studied things like that in the bible and look for similarities and look for things that didn't make sense he was looking for you know things that would hint at a code you know hidden meanings in the bible specifically the Torah he found out that there's no other place in the Torah where three scriptures total 72 letters it only occurs here and when you reverse the middle verse you look at the first letter first letter first letter and guess what you got a three letter name and you do that with a second second second you get another three letter name and so on until you end up with 72 three letter names that describe the nature of

God so why is that in there brother Drake well it's in there because God not only delivered them but he gave each one of them what it would take to make it the rest of the way and it was so hard that only three of them of the original made it but he wanted the hidden words that described his nature that was never revealed to mankind before to be hidden in these escape scriptures scriptures where it describes how they actually escaped permanently the bible even says later no more will you hear the chariot wheels of

Egypt they'll never chase you down again but God God hid his unknown nature in those three verses it's unbelievable I mean it's it's just can you imagine I'm going to give you all the money you need Seth and I want you to write a book this thick and tell me about your life and hide secrets in the verses how would you even start how can any man on this planet write this book and do stuff like that but it was by God's divine headship that he guided Moses hand writing what happened to get them through the Red Sea away from Egypt's chariots he wrote those three verses and God no doubt guided his hand to write those because here it is in our lifetime it was revealed and the guy did it without a computer too that's mind boggling can you imagine how long it took him he knew there was something about them 72 letters it doesn't occur anywhere else in the

Torah but he he tried different things and when he came on that he said whoa we got the first letter here first letter here first letter there that's I know what that word is and he took the second letter second letter second there's another word and there's another letter there's 72 hidden words in these three scriptures wow and you will find you can look up online google it you'll find books written about the New Testament where stuff is hidden in the scriptures when you hear some preacher preach about the divine authorship of this book you know more what that really means now amen the divine authorship of this book well that is my message that's what I have for you and I'm

I'm sure that you all will will pray every day I challenge you try it prove me wrong next time you hear from me tell me it didn't work you didn't know what you were talking about brother it didn't work for me I did it and I did it and I did it and I did it for three years I'm tired of doing it it just don't work I'm not getting it you know you'll get those you'll get those 12 things down in your heart and you won't even have to look them up where you wrote them I could have wrote them down and handed it out to everybody and made it easy on you but no you know where the scripture is at it's in Matthew chapter 6 verse 9 through 13 and there it is our father which are in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done give us this day our daily bread forgive our debts lead us not in temptation but deliver us for the kingdom and the power and the glory is all yours lots of powerful words if you weren't even looking for the 12 things that are going to engrave on your heart so you never forget them just reading it alone is awesome scripture that just describes so much but I hope everybody got something tonight and

Seth if you want to come up here and dismiss us with a word of prayer thank you Lord give the Lord a hand for Brother Ernie did our visitors from Ohio go home ok we might be able to catch them do we have any prayer requests we need to make mention of before we close she probably not feeling too good I want to thank Brother Ernie and Sister Joyce for traveling this way I know our crowd was low but as Brother Drake said who needed to be here was here and who needed to hear it heard it and it certainly been something to me Brother Ernie I want to thank you for that Brother Ernie is a special minister one special minister that I personally know he's one of the few left called by Brother Hinton to preach the same pastor that called Brother Van to preach called

Brother Ernie to preach so it's wonderful to have him here again and I can't wait to have him back I learn something new every time he preaches for us and if you did get one of the books that I had the last time I was here on a written word or it is written I've got some all the rest of I have to see Seth after we break up and you get a copy if you want to make a donation it costs money to have these things printed up if you got just 50 cents you can donate or you know the first book I gave out was somebody at work when I told her about it she was like we were sitting here working together at a shipping and receiving gate trying to sign these truck drivers in and out and she was just in there
