Once again, welcome to the study of God's word at the feet of the master, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The cloud is shifting today and we are so grateful. I want to call your attention to where we have been. According to Psalm 23 uh verse 3A, there is 3B, there is 3A. 3A says he resto my soul. We have camped around 3A. He restoth my soul. We have learned through the book of tears. One of the chapter there inside that book of tears is this chapter on the soul. We learned so much. what the soul is and we understood that the soul is not just the seat of the will the mind and the emotions but it's also the seat of tam which is the glory of God that is located in the soul hidden there hidden there by divine design to buy time when man has fallen into sin so that he's not left without help. The soul or the glory in the soul is classified under the glories that the Bible says they were hidden from the princes of this world. They were hidden. There is glory that's not hidden. The Bible says had the enemy or Lucifer knew, he would not have crucified the Lord of glory because there's certain glory that is hidden and there's glory that is made visible. The glory in the soul called the arm was hidden for us. And it became a shock after men fell into sin. When Lucifer thought sin is going to finish man completely, he will no longer function. He will act like a zombie or a captive. There arose that glory that was hidden and it bought us time until God was able to locate nor locate Abraham and through them bring about the Messiah. Glory to God. >> Glory. Glory. >> The Bible says in due time Christ died for the ungodly. in due time in the timelines of the survival of that tam. He came right at the perfect time before corruption set in due time. Christ died for the ungodly. He came he died for the ungodly which were all of us. So thanks be to God. So Christ came at the right time. >> Glory. Glory. >> Now we have seen how God has used that glory to continue with civilization, human development until Christ comes. The enemy on the other hand after he realized that by attacking me he did not get what he expected immediately he didn't sit down he studied the situation and to his credit he does live for a season in disappointment but he is relentless He's not, you can't say he's patient. You can't you can't use godly attributes to Lucifer. He's not p is he's relentless. He's he will not just give up. >> Amen. >> He will walk away and he will study the situation. So he did. Project Kane was initiated. The great conclusion of that was anger gives place to the devil. >> It will take the Russia ones many years to discover that truth which Lucifer discovered immediately after that study. And he discovered again that sexual immorality of all kinds, it's a quickest way to access the tam through exchange. There's an exchange in the process. So he used that and that he's still using to this day. even anger. And then we saw how he went about to design the use of alcohol and he's still using it. Amen. >> Now the Lord in preparation for the coming of of the Lord Jesus the Christ, he is going about doing good and restoring or making whole the soul of people in fulfillment of 1 Thessalonians 5:23 to the end that when he comes He will find us whole >> and we will be preserved in that whole state. Now I do not know about you but perhaps I can speak for few or some who have confirmed through the word of their testimony what God has done. If by now the teaching on soul restoration has not touched your soul to begin to understand what God is doing in this season. You need help. >> Amen. >> You do. You will have missed out a lot. And I will say to you maybe you will need to go back to that teaching. Don't take these things for granted. These things are given to us for our benefit. The benefit was to the restoration of the souls of people. We were allowed to understand things that were hidden for ages. I believe maybe you don't value them but I know how difficult it was to get what I taught you. >> Amen. You may take it lightly because maybe it seems easy to you but it's not that simple for our mind to visit those territories and be able to get by the grace of God those truths that are effected in us with evidence of the restoration of the soul that the arm being restored or sharpened. the events that have happened in your life when you were young growing up. I believe those things were addressed. Now I hope as we move we will move with majority. I don't think we can move with everybody because some people they are slow some get it some they don't put effort but I believe majority are moving and you know where we are going not too far but I'm excited. Oh yeah, >> we are moving to 3B. >> And you know me, >> I will stay until you get it. You see, I'm introducing it today. >> Amen. >> I'll stay. You'll get me. >> Amen. >> He leads me in the paths of righteousness. >> Glory. >> That's who we're shifting to. At the end of this part, we will produce righteous living Christians. >> We will produce the Christians that seek and find and follow the right in every situation. Amen. >> We will produce Christians that will understand such expression as written in the book of Kings and Chronicles that so and so did that which was right >> in the eyes of God. >> As David. Now did you hear? He says as David his father. I will give you the secret of David tonight. You know, David is one of my favorite Bible character. And when I read um in Matthew 17 when the Lord Jesus was visited by um Elijah uh Moses and Elijah while those things you may be careful how you share with people in Africa but those things are real. You can encounter the saints. 20 years ago, I was swimming in psalms until I encountered the psalmist. >> Amen. >> Believe it or not, so I love that man. And tonight I will take you through what he meant by he leads me in the paths of righteousness. Today you will understand also the prayer which personally I love. When I pray and I'm going out I say, "Oh God, lead us in the path of righteousness." >> I understand what that means. There are paths of righteousness. David had to get the revelation of those paths. There are ways. The word they it also means ways or tracks like a track. There are paths. There are ways there are tracks of righteousness. Now for us to understand that word righteousness I don't want to dwell on righteousness that is imputed which we'll talk about the word impute which is used in the scriptures that Abraham believed God and righteousness was credited unto him. We're going to have to go back who taught Abraham about righteousness. Amen. It was credited to him. It was imputed. And there is righteousness that is imparted. >> And I am in the third phase now. I'm in righteousness in action. >> So I'm not talking the legal righteousness that is credited to us as we believe in Christ. It comes because we believe in him. Amen. >> And there's righteousness. That is the inner waking of God's grace. I I'm beyond that. I'm in the righteousness out here. It's God leads me in the path of righteousness, in the path of righteousness. And that's why as you follow this teaching, we are going to see many people say I did that which was right. >> Why? I sought the right way. I found it and I followed it. And in this teaching you will realize it doesn't matter what situation you are in. There are parts of righteousness in every situation. Yours is to seek it and find it. When the master summarized what I said now he put it this way. Seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And then he said all these things shall be added unto you. He is referring to the same thing. Seek you first what? The kingdom and his righteousness. His right way of doing things in every situation. Seek it, follow it, and do it. So, we're going to produce Russia's Christians. Now let's look into Psalm 23:3b and then I will introduce you to a Bible character or a man that was that is worth studying and we'll stay with him a bit. Verse 3B says, "He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." Now I want you to take note its parts. Its parts it's its ways is is is the ways of righteousness. Now that word righteousness is the word deck. This one you have to write it down. The deck you can write it as following. T S E D E Q that's a transliteration for our understanding that's how we must write it it's a deck a deck means rashes right that's what it means now if I say it's a deck I then have to introduce to You a king of the dead, >> a king of righteousness, a king of right called me the milky deck. If God is leading David in the path of righteousness, in the path of the deck of right, did David encounter the deck or the king of the deck? And who's the king of the deck? And what is his assignment? The king of Tedc called Me Tedc. He is a master of righteousness and he teaches the ways of righteousness. Therefore, he is worth studying. There was a day that David encountered him. >> Glory. They say day David encountered the king of righteousness. Which day was that? An encounter with the Lord can change your life forever. >> Amen. And when you encounter the Lord and the reason why encounters you must record them, you must not take them light. It's because there are elements of the encounter that you will understand as you grow in the knowledge of God. Um, Apostle Peter, he went with the Lord Jesus to the mountain of transfiguration and there are so many things that happened there. One, the Lord Jesus as he was praying, he went through alteration, transformation. That part of prayer triggering alteration or prayer as a door into higher realms. Prayer as a door into higher states. It's worth studying just that part. So you don't need 100 encounters. You need one that can change your life forever. If you stay with it and you keep visiting it as you grow in the things of God, you go back to it. There are elements there that you didn't notice that you will study, you will learn from those. So there is that alteration that took place which was to teach Peter what the Lord Jesus meant when he say pray that you enter not into temptation. >> Amen. >> Why? Because when you face temptation if you are at it level you will enter. >> Yes. But if through prayer you will be uplifted like the standard will be lifted. The spirit lift up the standard. So the temptation is there but it's lower than you >> because the vehicle of prayer has uplifted you. >> Glory. >> That's that part. I'm trying to show you the elements of encounter because everybody here, all of us here, we have had encounters. You may not value your own. You may celebrate other people's encounters. You neglect your own encounter. So, it looks like God has not visited you. Each encounter has elements and needs to be recorded down. Even the things you don't understand, as you grow, you will understand them. >> Because as you develop and grow, you revisit the encounter, you will even understand the color. >> The color that when you reported it, you didn't even mention it. That's why people who have been to heaven, they supposed to have heaven part one, >> heaven part two, heaven part three, heaven, heaven part four. Why? Because there is a part when they were narrating the story, they neglected it, ignored it because it didn't stand out. They had not grown to notice that. >> Are you listening to me? >> So, and then you will have after that Jesus entered their state, then you have manifestation of Moses and Elijah. That manifestation needs to be visited. I'm talking to Peter now. Peter, visit that manifestation. It's going to help him. >> BUT HERE I am seeing a man called Moses who was disqualified to enter the promised land. But I'm seeing him in the promised land. What a mighty God we say that even if I seem to be disqualified because I denied him three times I can still enter that that encounter when he remembered that I met that Moses that people say Moses didn't even enter the promised land. He said the Moses I met was in the promised land and I saw him >> and that's why Peter was bold on the day of Pentecost. He stood and said, "You people, you have wicked hearts. >> Your hearts are hard." He doesn't say, "I apologize. I denied him." No, he's passed that >> the encounter when he revisited that encounter after he denied the Lord, it brought confidence that God will accept him. >> Amen. >> Are you listening? >> Amen. >> But the day of the encounter, >> that thing didn't register. It didn't register Moses who they said he cannot enter the promised land. No. What register that they read your Bible to Peter is let's make three tabernacles. Yes. One for Moses. One for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah. That's what registered. But you go and read the book of Peter. Something else registered later on. when he was talking about the voice that he heard the voice that he heard which said this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased hear you him when he thought about here you him do you listen to me >> when he thought But hear you him. He goes back. He said, "Oh, we have a more sure word of prophecy which will do well if we pay attention to it. >> It is that revelation that he got later on. Oh, I must not ignore what I heard. That's why he writes, he says, I'm going to put you to remembrance even though I know that you are established in the present truth. He says for me it's not burdensome to put you into remembrance. I'm going to remind you what you have heard because you think you got everything is I'm going to REMIND YOU WHAT you have heard. So they encounter if he pays attention to the clouds the clouds that surrounded that encounter with the Lord, he will know about the different forms of the manifestation of the glory of God and how that glory enters the one encountering it. And when they go, they radiate the same. >> All right. >> This is what Peter I'm talking one encounter. What happened to Peter? This is what made him bold to use his shadow. Because when the master came out of that encounter, the Bible says when the people saw him, they saluted him and were amazed. How do you salute a person and you are amazed except amazed at what you are seeing because they saw the radiation of the glory and from there what did he do? He cast out that devil. Remember >> yes >> the lunatic son Peter when he remembered this he knew. So if I encounter and meditate on the name of Jesus, that name and the glory associated with that name will enter and it will come out. When it comes out, even my shadow is not ordinary. >> Yes sir. >> Even my shadow is not ordinary. He understood that. So Peter it does not mean the shadow of Peter all the time it healed the sick. No no no no no no. There is a time when that shadow healed the sick because of what he did. Amen. And what he encountered which he understood that even the shadow under this circumstance even this shadow now, it is going to heal the sick and cast out spirits. Are you with me? >> Amen. Glory. >> I'm trying to show you the different elements of encounter. So because we live in a generation that is always looking for something new, we miss a lot of important things. >> Sometimes you miss important things while you are pursuing the spectacular. No, you want something that so outstanding. The encounter of somewhere with the Lord has many elements. That's why we read the Bible over and over again. That encounter of Samuel has many many many many stations that you can say let me see let me camp around the station. Why did God, this big God have time to visit a small boy under 15 years old >> to come and tell him what's coming and from there you will learn. Can God visit a 12 year old, a 13, a 14, a 15 to talk to them about something that can affect them? >> For sure. There is something else. He used the voice of Allah which some was familiar with and then you camp. Could it be that God is using the the face of your pastor to give you instruction and it's him? Mhm. Could it be that God is using the face of your your mother, your father to give an instruction to as a child and it's him? He doesn't want to scare you. You are not ready for his image. Okay, let's look at the this station where we land on the child rises up and he run he run he run he run during the time he's running God he doesn't SAY HEY HEY I'M HERE YOU ARE GOING TO the wrong place we learn >> that God will only talk to you when you yield to him >> amen when he said speak Lord your servant is listening God started to speak. When Moses saw the fire and say, "LET ME NOW TURN AND see this phenomena that the the fire there is fire that is burning but it's not consuming the tree or the bush which was fairly dry. That's a desert. It's not green. IT'S DRY. THAT'S WHY IT'S A phenomena that this thing is not being consumed but it's qualifies for consumption by fire. Why? The Bible says as he turned then the Lord said Moses Moses and he knew his name. You see each encounter even when you read the Bible don't rush don't rush because you are trying to achieve what you call uh reading plans. Those reading plans are good but don't be religious about it where there is an encounter in the Bible and then you're supposed to camp around it and then God is is going to call your name. is going to talk to you about it and reveal himself to you. >> So when Moses started to turn, that's when God caught. When someone said speak, Lord, your servant is listening. That's when God speak to you. Because he's looking for people who will yield. So some people think if you are going on the wrong direction, you will hear God say, "Hey, hey, hey, you are going on the wrong direction. No, he will nudge. He will speak. If you respond to that little small voice or nudging, then the voice becomes louder and clear because we are yielding. >> Those are encounters. I hope you understand. Now, when it comes to encounters, remember I'm talking I'm introducing David and Melkisedc. All right? Because they lived years apart. But this Melkisedc, the king of righteousness, the king of right, from whom David learned to do right. This man, David had to encounter him, but they lived years apart. And I want us to visit that encounter and hear certain things and what David learned from that encounter. There are so many things that happened during that time. If you can go to Psalm 110, you know, we cannot study all these things and go to Jerusalem and not come to your location. You know that. Praise the Lord. >> I lay the foundation in Psalm 110. I want you to hear David. This is a psalm of David. The Lord said unto my Lord, I want you to see maybe in your Bible they have expressed it the right way. The Lord, it's capital L O R D. Can you see that? >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Said unto my Lord, capital L, small letter O R D. There is the Lord speaking to David's Lord. Now that capital L O R D is the name of God which we know as Jehovah. That's how it has been introduced to us through the English translation. But that's not Jehovah or Yahweh like like that. It's Y. It's his personal name. Now they they didn't want to pronounce it even to write it down. When they were translating the Bible, the Jews don't write this name, this personal name, which is the name that God introduced to Moses. This name was given. was introduced to Moses when God said look uh Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, I I revealed myself to them as God Almighty, but by my name Yahweh or Jehovah or Yad, I was not known them. And now this name that we are reading here is the name that is given to Christ when he was raised from the dead. And the Bible says he humbled himself you know even unto obedient the obedient of death. Therefore, God has highly exalted him and given him a name >> which is above every name is the name of Yad that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow. Every tongue shall confess that Jesus is who is maybe this is too much for you people. So the Lord said unto my Lord. The Lord here is for our understanding is Jehovah Yahweh himself. He is speaking unto my Lord. The the Lord here is is Adonai. >> Adonai means master. It means owner. It also means say. So the Lord said unto my say, the Lord said unto my owner, the Lord said unto my master, >> glory, glory. David is witnessing this. There is a time and there's a day David witnessed this and it inspired him. But what I want to show you here is heavenly encounters they can have many stakeholders. Okay, many stakeholders. For an example, when John was in the island of Patmos and he saw a door open and we have gone through his visit with the master to church operation center. But in chapter 4, he is then called up to heaven. He passes paradise. He passes the city. He is before the throne. Now, if he comes from heaven and then he says, "I went to the throne and then he say, "Did you see paradise?" He says, "No, I didn't." He said, "No, I'm not coming from heaven." No, no. That encounter required that he goes to the throne. At the throne, there are so many things there. If John was to rewrite the encounter around the throne today, he was going to add more light that he didn't write THAT DAY. THAT DAY he will tell you about the cherubims and their faces. He told us about the 24 elders. Now you want to tell me he doesn't know their name. YOU SEE THE OTHER TIME WHEN he's narrating the story, HE SAID ON THE RIGHT IT was elder so and so. NOW IF HE TELLS US OF elder so and so. Now you can go and read the Bible if that elder is in the Bible and understand why he qualifies to be an elder. >> But you see John just says 24 elders don't they have a name? Mhm. >> And who was number one to number 12? And who was number 13 to number 24? >> Are you with me? >> I'm trying to show you the encounter that John had. He speaks about a book that was being opened in that occasion. And he says they were representatives from all realms of existence and they were being asked if they can open that book. And each representative came and try to open the book. They couldn't. Now he doesn't tell us the representative from those regions. Who are they? He just tells us that there was no man found in heaven on earth and under the earth. If there was no man found in heaven, on earth and under the earth, it means their representative was there on that occasion trying to open the book couldn't until the land. Are you with me? Now David is having an encounter and may I will try to place it because there are certain things that we're going to learn here. Why is David pursuing righteousness? He met the king of righteousness and in this encounter that king of righteousness was involved. Hey. Okay, let's read. The Lord said unto my Lord. So Jehovah says unto my Lord. Now which Lord is this? Capital L small O R D. Who Who's David's master? Huh? Who's whose Lord? Which Lord? Who's this Lord? It's Jesus. It's the one we know is Jesus. >> But remember this encounter is happening before HE CAME. THAT'S WHY JESUS WAS asking people and say you people say I'm the son of David. Why did David say uh my lord? They were stuck. >> Amen. >> They couldn't answer that it was high. It's those questions that are called high grade questions giving people headache. Okay, I hope you can take some more cuz I'm introducing something here. So the Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies your foottool. So David heard that. Now as all this is happening, we hear the Lord continue to speak to my master, my owner, my say. He says, "The Lord shall send the road of your strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Your people shall be willing in the day of your power. In the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning, thou has the due of thy youth. Now I want to tell you that this was like what they call coronation. You know what is a coronation? Where you are installing a king. And David was allowed to witness this. This is the installation of the one who will later be known as Jesus, the son of David. >> David is encountering him long before he manifested on earth. >> Glory. And his witting said on Adonai before he ever he is meeting HIM BEFORE HE HUMBLES himself and take upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men and was called the seed of David. AND DAVID AFTER this encounter, there is so much that will come out of this encounter for you to then understand why he also understood this assignment that I have to declare him and he will be born out of my declaration and will be known as the son of David. >> Glory glory. >> You can out of this encounter David found that which is called the key of David. You open no man can shut. You shut no man can open. That key we are still going to visit it. It's worth visitation. That is the same key that uh the master the lord Jesus when he appeared to one of the churches in revelation he said I open. No man can shut. I shut. No man can can open. >> Glory to glory. >> Glory to God. Jesus. >> When you find that in application, you can find it in that scripture. You can find it in application. Application. Glory to God. I remember years ago when I found that truth, the truth of that scripture. We must prove scriptures. >> Amen. >> Glory to God. >> Man, I did my first year. I didn't have financial assistance. So I could only pay 25%. So 75% was not paid. So towards the end of that first year I got an opportunity to apply for a buzzer and uh that application was just grace because I met this guy on the last day of application. He said have you heard about this basary and that bas? I said no I haven't. He said they closing today. I said I get the the forms and submit. So I submitted and you know what I got the buzzer. He did it. Okay. So now they came time to go and do the interview for that bazar. So we went for for the bazar um interview. So at the interview there's a panel of professionals here. So, I did my best to prepare. I knew that I've got a problem that I'm a good performing student, but I don't have the money to pay that year. And I knew I passed. I'm not bragging. I'm not one of I was not one of those students that say we'll find out when the results come out. I knew I passed. It was a matter of how well. So I told the panel because they said do you have any question? I said to them I would like some assistance with covering the first year. Are you able to do it? They said the company policy is we will cover you from next year because this interviews are taking place for next year cover and going forward. According to our policy, we do not cover backwards. So I thought I need help. It's good to know scriptures. >> Amen. Because as I walked away from there, I heard Revelation 3:8. It says, "I am he that opens and no man can shut and I shut no man can open." For me at that point, I understood what he meant to me. Remember, you have to understand what the scripture means to you. >> You have to hear him for yourself. It's not about trying to convince people. Do you understand this scripture? Uhhuh. No. It's about you understanding what he's talking to you. >> And if you try to tell others, they may not see it like that because it's not for them. >> That's why the Bible says the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah saying when Jeremiah was there, other people were there and other they didn't hear nothing. It was not for them. It was for Jeremiah. Glory. >> Okay. >> And I heard him like that. So I walked away and then after that they said I was successful. I still followed up. I said but I don't even have access to my results. You have to help me. >> I know I passed. >> They said okay we will see. The way I understood that scripture, it was there's a policy right that says if we give you the baser we will cover you from year two and going forward. The past you have to sort yourself out. But the way I understood that scripture to me it means I open which means he open even the things that are restricted by policies where there is restrictions he open and give you favor where people are willing to consider you where under normal circumstance that they will not have time for you. It does not allow them to do that. >> And even the way I got that awareness on the last day, it was quite clear. This is the working of God. And I know that many of you have testimonies like this, even better. >> And you know what? before the beginning of the next uh school days before we reopen to go for second year. They had paid for my first year. I had gotten my results and I had passed and they gave me money for the second year tuition to help me with accommodation, books and all other things. And I realize he did open. >> No man did shut. >> Glory to God. That that's an example of the application of the scripture. >> Glory to God. Now I'm still talking about David encountering the Lord. Verse four, the Lord has sown and will not repent. You are a priest. So who's speaking? It's the Lord. He says the Lord has sworn and will not repent. You master owner say Adonai Lord which is Lord Jesus. You Lord Jesus ARE A PRIEST AFTER THE order of Mel Zedc. >> Hallelujah. >> Which means in the on this encounter there was Melisedc. In this coronation there was Melkisedc. I'll tell you more about him because mechic is a being that was sent on earth after the flood of Noah after the departure of Enoch was sent to teach people righteousness. He came as a mighty mighty being but he will be known as a king of righteousness by his name is Melkisedc and he will be known as a king of peace >> two He is known as a king of peace. He's known as a king of peace located in a place called Salem which later will be known as Jerusalem. You will understand why David said, "I have to take Jerusalem from the hands of the Jebusites >> that protected it with blind people and lame people. This Melkisedc, not only was he a king, he was a king that also play a role as a priest. All right. >> NOW YOU WILL APPRECIATE this be >> because when we say Christ has made us kings and priests is after the order of MelkiseDC the king and the priest. >> Glory other words you can be a priest from where? >> Your mother's people were worshiping other gods. Huh? >> Yes. You can be a king from where? Now you will understand why. The Bible says when Melisedc the king of Salem when he heard THAT ABRAHAM CAME back from the slaughter of kings, he came and met HIM >> TO DO WHAT? TO coronate him as a king. >> Hallelujah. >> Abraham was a king. ABRAHAM WAS A prophet but he didn't work as prophet Abraham. God told Abel SAYS TELL ABRAHAM TO pray for you because he's a prophet. >> Yes. WHEN HE CAME to the from the slaughter of kings, Mechazedc came to meet him with bread and wine as a priest of most high to coronate him who has just killed the kings with his men. From that moment, Abraham walked as a king. Number two, Abraham taught his children righteousness which qualified him. Where you hear the Bible says God chose him because God knew he will do that which is right and he will point his children to the right ways of the Lord. And Abraham was then taught the ways of righteousness. The what? The path of righteousness. He was told that if you believe God by FAITH THAT BELIEF in God can be credited to you as righteousness. >> Glory. >> After that encounter, King Abraham immediately entered the land. He didn't stay long. He was inaugurated. He moved as a king in the order of Melkisedc. So this mechedic he came with two major branches. One is that of a king. This one is that of priest. Now there are few people who discovered those major branches. So we will go and see that encounter of Melkisedc and and Abraham and what he said to Abraham. And that's why I tell you encounters you must visit them, revisit them because there are things that were said you thought you understood, you didn't. >> Are you with me? >> Now, first David is has been allowed to witness. You are here to study the coronation of Adonai the Lord in the presence of Mechisedc the king of Salem. The king of righteousness and the king of Salem. He is first the king of righteousness and thereafter of peace. That's what's in the Bible. So if you think MelkiseDCIC, you must think what? King and priest, >> righteousness and peace. >> Okay. Amen. >> When David was allowed to witness this and take note, God can allow you to be a witness of certain events. Not for you to take part. It's for you to learn. Glory. >> He comes and carry you by his spirit through his grace. And I want you to see something how we coronate kings because David he is going to be a king a royalty in the order of mechic after this and not everyone occupied that role that's why the bible will say

It was this king. He did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father. Which means there are few who discovered it. That when I'm sitting here, this is according to the order of Melchisedec. And there are others who occupied the throne naturally. So there are certain things they didn't have access to. There are certain things they didn't use because they didn't understand. I hope you're with me.

Glory. Still laying foundation now. David, he is witnessing this. So he sees Yad, he sees Adonai, his master. Said, "How did, how did he look like Adonai?" And now David then saw this king of righteousness and peace, and also a priest. Now, it's good to read your Bible. So, when we put all of this together, we're in the kitchen now. We're cooking.

We're dishing up now. Glory. When David was, he had gone to take, uh, the ark, and there was an incident leading to the death of Uzzah. Remember? David then went, and the Bible says he took off his kingly robes, right? Which they considered nakedness. And some people when they read that, they think he was naked. Far from truth. What it means he's naked in that he was not wearing a kingly robe. But what did he wear? A priestly robe. Why? From this encounter, he understood I am a king and can walk as a priest, not in the order of Aaron, which is lesser than the order of Melchisedec, in the order of Him that I saw and encountered. When his great-great-great-grandson Uzziah, when he would try to do that, to do like a priest, and without revelation, he died.

What he was doing, it was out of, um, envy. Not out of revelation. It was out of envy. You understand? A person can do things out of envy.

Okay. Okay. You, a person can watch someone who has a revelation about something. Let's use an example of mediums. There are people, they have encountered the Lord and have even had an encounter with that angel called the angel of the waters. Right?

The angel of the waters in the book of Revelation. And they encountered him by the Lord. Right? So they are given the secret concerning water. All right? And it's not just water, uh, as anointing. It's water as an element and a servant of God. So they get that revelation. They have a clear understanding of water, and why you should drink water, at what periods, and, and, and, and they, they are then given also the revelation of that water as a servant working under the anointing, not just as a natural element. All right. And then they are also told concerning what to do with the waters. That you don't take the water from that stream. You don't take from that. That one is defiled. If you take from this well, this is what you do. How many days you must take to purify? What kind of prayer you must pray?

Glory. Are you listening to me?

Amen. So I told all of that, then, okay, you then, you take that water, you make it anointing water, and then you apply it, and people get delivered. Free. And somebody's watching imitation without revelation is dangerous. So somebody's watching, "Oh, I can even make money. I can sell this thing. I just spray it on people. People manifest." There's not even a revelation of where to get the water. So they go and get the water in the stream and the river where the marine is so active.

I listen. They just spray. No revelation of what to do. You know, even the people that supply us water, they, they do what is called due diligence. They know that water. They analyze it at the lab. They say, "Oh, it is this kind of minerals, this and this. It is, it is this bacteria and this, or you treat it first." It spends how long, and then you start supplying. For a man or a woman just to wake up and say, "I saw others using anointing water." They just go and get the water from the tank. They go and get the water from wherever, and they just say, "Wah, wah." Okay. What you are doing, is there revelation? Has God spoken?

Are you listening to me? Now, that is doing out of envy. That is not allowed.

That's what Uzziah was doing. The one where the Bible says, "In the year that Uzziah died, I saw the Lord." That's Uzziah. He tried to act as a priest. It was not out of revelation that David had.

It was out of envy, and it brought about leprosy, and he didn't survive it.

Are you with me? But David is encountering the Lord. So in this coronation of Adonai, David left with the revelation of this being called Melchisedec. He is first the king of righteousness and the king of peace. These are things David is going to avail.

He's a king and he's a priest. Glory. And then he, David obviously looked at Adonai, and that's when he knew he's going to go, and he, Adonai will hatch out of the words that you will lay for him. He understood that. And there are so many things that David encountered with Melchisedec. He understood that this being, when he was on earth, he was located around Salem. So when he left, he said, "If I have to be a king, it has to be in his order. Number two, I have to fight for Jerusalem, and when I do, I need to buy the plot of land with this being had created a portal. There I will build God a house." That encounter finished, and David, he came back here on earth. This will have happened somewhere, somewhere before he became the king of Israel. He was the king of Judah for a period of seven years.

Glory. And then after Israel came together and submitted under him, which took a lot of effort, including the workings of the sons of Issachar, that had understanding of the times to know what Israel had to do. And they spread that influence and made Israel understand, "This time we have to allow David to be the king." Somewhere before then, and when he was running away from Jerusalem, uh, Saul, that's when he had an encounter to know what it means to be a king after the order of Melchisedec. And that's why when he became a king, he was a righteous king.

I want you to hear me. And again, he understood as a king, a righteous king, that in every situation you find yourself in, you must seek the ways of righteousness. They are there. They are called paths of righteousness. In every situation, even when you missed it, even when you messed up, there is a way to do things right. You must seek it, find it, and follow it. That way is the way to escape.

That's why David, if you follow his life, he has had his errors, his mistakes, he has had his failures, but David always found a way out. And he came out the right way, all the time, all the time. He came out the right way. You see David when a man called, uh, Shimei, when he's cursing him, insulting him, calling him bloody man, blood man, bloody man, cursing him. And they said to him, "If you allow us, we're going to strike twice this dead dog that's cursing me." And those were people who didn't know, had no revelation of paths of righteousness. But when you open the door, like David did, and consequences are coming, even in the midst of consequences, there is the path of righteousness. Glory.

There's the path of righteousness. There's a right way to come out of it. Amen. Glory. And there's a wrong way to come out of it. You seek the right way. So they tell him and said, "Let's kill him who, who's cursing you." David says to them, "He can't curse me under normal circumstances. At this point, I am naked because of what I've done. And if I kill this man under this circumstance, I will be unrighteous. Leave him."

Hallelujah. He left him, right? And he went. He was running away from. When he came back, that same Shimei came. Oh, you know, I was just having a bad day. Baby said it. He didn't speak a word to him. Said, "Go, go, go." When he was about to die, he knew that man is going to trouble his son. Yes. He's waiting for him to die and trouble his son. He says, "Solomon, come here, my son. I have things to instruct you." Imagine of all the things, one of the top five is instruction concerning Shimei. He said, "Shimei, God will give you wisdom. He will visit you and give you wisdom, my son. Deal with him according to that wisdom that God will give you."

Glory. Are you listening?

Amen. He was a righteous man. Let no one undermine David for you. He was a righteous man. David lived right. Mhm. When he missed it, he found a way because he had learned about the secret of the paths of Melchisedec, that he was taught by the king of Melchisedec called Melchisedec. And everyone who does right in the eyes of God, he will be compared to David, as David his father. As David his father. And you know what else David found out from Melchisedec is that his royalty is forever. You read your Bible. The Bible says David will rule over Israel forever. Natural Israel, the Jews, he will rule over them. Right? That's why when he had the opportunity to kill Saul, says, "I can't stretch my hands against the Lord's anointing and be guiltless." He says, "There's a right way to do things. If this man's soul wants to kill me, why I must behave myself wisely around him. He won't kill me. But I don't have to kill him." That's why when that fool called Nabal provoked him, and he was going to fight for himself, by the grace of God, Abigail, the wife, went to meet him and stopped him, and she thanked him. I mean, he thanked her. Why? He said, "Thank you for helping me. Why? You didn't allow me to go out of the path of righteousness while fighting for myself, while defending myself. In every situation, there is a right way of doing things. Seek it, follow it, and do it."

That is righteousness. That is what Christ made. When said, "Seek you first what?" The kingdom and His righteousness, His ways of doing things right. Are you divorced? There's a right way to do things. Did you have children out of wedlock and now you are settled? There's a right way of doing things, and there's a wrong way of doing it. Huh? You see that young man called the prodigal son, when he was going back to his father, he was using a path of righteousness. When he was in that far country and he was lost, in the midst of all of that, there is a path of righteousness. You have to seek it.

You must find it, follow it. Are you listening to me? Amen. In every situation, you see, when people are like that prodigal, he walked away, right? He walked away from his father. Now things are not going well. Pride. Remember the Bible says, "There is a way that seems right unto a man, right? But the end of it are ways of death." Life is made of networks. There's so much networks in your life. In every situation you are in, and you need to understand there, where you are in those networks, there's a path of righteousness. In fact, the Bible calls them paths of righteousness. 1 Corinthians 10 will call it the way of escape. It's the provision of God.

The master over those paths, it was Melchisedec, almost like an owner. He, he is taught or he is sent to teach men. Abraham, if it's like this in your life, there is a right way to correct the error. There's a right way to deal with this, and it is called the path, the way of righteousness. The good thing is there are paths of righteousness for every situation. Glory. In your life.

Amen. That young man who walked away from his father, he found the path of righteousness. When he entered it and he was walking, nobody could stop him. Glory. He found a path. When they are talking to him to turn him back, they are talking from far. They may be physically close. They don't worry. Before he, he got where he met them, he had already found the path of righteousness. From where he is, he is moving in that path of righteousness. You can meet a person in town and they are in the path of righteousness, and you don't know. This is the path that sometimes those who troubled people. I was happy to hear, um, the young man in our church testifying about a week ago or two, when he said he was going around apologizing to those he wronged.

Telling them, "Oh, it is me that stole that TV." I'm just making an example. He didn't say that part. It is me who did this. It's me who beat, I think he said he beat somebody or something. The police. Yeah, I think he said he beat the police. You don't want to beat police. They should be the ones who come and help you in time of trouble. But you see, he has found Christ. He's learning righteousness. There's a right way to do things.

So he goes back, right? Back. And you see, that's why I told you, as we go on this, you will find paths of righteousness. And at the end, we will be producing through the teaching of God's word, righteous Christians. Their souls are restored. Now, they must be led in the path of righteousness. They must know in every situation there is a right way of doing things. Seek it. Find it and follow it.

Seek it. Find it and follow it. When you do, you are seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. All these things shall be added unto you. There are paths of righteousness for business people.

There are paths of righteousness for offense. The ones that don't have parents. That's the reason why not everyone who's an orphan is a is a thief. Not everyone. Others are lost. There are some, they don't have parents, but they found paths of righteousness, and they, they're walking in it. So there's no excuse. The others, they made big mistakes. Look at what David did. It was wrong what he did. Yet, in the midst of it, he found the path of righteousness. So amazing that the child that was produced out of that error, when that child didn't make it, before the child died, he was fasting.

Glory. When the child didn't make it, he rose up and went into the house of God. What would have happened to others? They'll be angry with God.

Yes. It's their own sin. It produced this consequence. And now they are angry with God, upset with God. And you know what happens when you find yourself in a situation and you don't find the path of righteousness? You find the path of death.

Yes. It gets worse. It gets worse. It gets worse. David says, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." That's verse four. The reason he said, "Yea, though I walk through the veil of the shadow of death," is because he understands, even in the veil of the shadow of death, there is a path of righteousness.

He leads me in the path of righteousness. Meaning, even when you are scared and fear, everything is around you. He leads me in the path of righteousness. Even in the valley of the shadow of death, there is, there is a right way of doing things. Just because you don't have a job, it doesn't mean you must total the people. It doesn't mean you must must be unfaithful. There's a right way of doing things in every situation. Oh, just because you are single doesn't mean you can live anyhow.

There are paths of righteousness in singleness. Glory. There are paths of righteousness in every situation. Yeah. There are paths of righteousness whether you are promoted so high. When you get that high and you find corruption everywhere, there, in the midst of corruption, there are paths of righteousness.

Glory to God. You, you find part of. Are you a student? Are you a learner? Right there at university, at institutions of higher learning, there are paths of righteousness. And in those paths, you will find friends that they've also sought and found. And they've entered the highway of holiness and righteousness. Glory of God. You may meet them. They may look ordinary people. Oh, my brother and sister, I want you to know when you meet people, everybody is on a path.

There are others, they on the path of suicide, path of death. They don't tell you. You say, "Hello, how are you?" They say, "I'm okay." Soon after that, you hear they took their life. Which means when you met them, they were on the path of death, while you were on your own path. Others are in the path of lies, depression.

Others are in the path of going to deceive others. The greatest assignment is to turn men from paths of wickedness and you win them into paths of righteousness. That's what the Bible says. He that wins souls is wise. What does it mean? It means it takes wisdom to win a soul.

Glory. To win a soul. Do you understand what that means? To win a soul, it means to be able to get it to be convinced through wisdom that this path you are on, it's not the path that is right.

Glory. And that person repent. To repent means to change your mind concerning this path, and you turn around, and then you go the opposite direction, and you enter the path of righteousness. It says he that does that is wise. Which means it's not easy to win souls. But it takes wisdom to get out of the path of unrighteousness into the path of righteousness. Are you people with me?

Glory to God. Glory to God. Amen. Oh, this Melchisedec. Now, that's that's David's encounter. Go to Abraham when he met him in Genesis 14. Oh, this being is mighty.

Mighty being, mighty, mighty being. Okay. And the king of Sodom went out, verse 17, okay, went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. And Melchisedec, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine. And he was the priest of the most high God. Not only is he a king, he is the priest.

And at this point, he has put on his priestly garment. Priests coronated kings. Did you hear?

Priests coronated what? Kings. So if he is a king, but he's meeting it with the elements of sacrifice, the elements used by priests. It's quite clear he is meeting a man who doesn't know himself and has just slaughtered five kings. Does he know who he is? This is Abraham. These are early days. He doesn't fully understand himself.

Are you listening to me? Remember, even up until this time, his name is still Abraham. Abra-ham. He's walking in that name. He meets this being. The Bible will tell us more about him in Hebrews, because Apostle Paul, he was given a revelation of that mighty being. You know, you have to ask yourself sometimes when Apostle Paul say, "Oh, I went to heaven and, um, I was caught up in paradise, and then I had heard so many things, not only had but saw, encountered." But if he was to maybe visit that encounter every year, he will tell, he will add more light to this is what happened, this what happened. That encounter was so strong, the light that he came with when he passed in space, it attracted what is called the messenger of Satan. A spirit that was a sign that light that we saw passing, make sure that light doesn't spread.

And that spirit came here on earth. Apostle Paul, he arrives. He knows what he saw, what he heard, what he encountered. He doesn't know that, huh, there is a spirit that also came with him. He will find out after its continuous annoyance and irritation, when it found a man who was known to be an angry man. Angry people are portals for spirits. That's a fact.

When spirits enter on earth, they enter through a frequency created by anger. The, the energy that anger creates and releases, that energy, it's a transport system. And that's why every opportunity I have, I have to show you the dangers of anger. It, do you hear what the Bible say? It gives place to the devil.

It's not easy for the devil to get a place like, enter. But anger, you can enter. What it means is, it, it is so fierce. Anger is so fierce that when it produces that energy, that negative force, it is so intense and of such magnitude that Lucifer can ride on it. So anger must never be protected. And I'm talking even to you, if maybe you joined this today and you were so angry today, I'm telling you that anger has no place.

Amen. That anger has no place in your heart. You have to tell anger, "Anger, you will not get my heart in the name of Jesus." Anger is dangerous. So that spirit, it entered. There was a man that was so angry. This kind of spirit.

You see, anger. And, and the reason why you have to to share with, uh, with the people of God is because, uh, when that anger enters you, and then you are angry with God, or angry with a man or a woman of God, it's very deadly. Ah, very dangerous. The people that go around speaking bad about pastors, okay, criticizing this one, speaking bad, and some people listen to them. At one stage, those people were close to that pastor. They were beneficiaries of the good deeds. At some point, they got offended, and then they were entered by the spirit of anger. And everywhere they go, they just show anger. And those who are gullible, easy to deceive, they will hear those words of an angry fellow entered by spirit, and they will entertain it. And imagine, imagine what level of anger allows even a spirit from space to enter. Do you see? It's a big anger.

Huh? Yes. It's big anger. All this criticism that you find on social media, this person is angry with that pastor, that woman, that, if you check those who people were at one stage beneficiaries, they benefited from their good deeds.

Amen. And at some point, they got offended. That's why I told you. Is it? Whoever you love, you forgive. Amen. And whoever you are angry with, it doesn't matter what good deed they do. Anger will not allow you to see. You be so angry. And you see, the anger of a former Christian is not natural. You have to understand that. You see that man, what he did was, he's entered by that spirit, and everywhere where Apostle Paul will be, that man will just disturb Apostle Paul's meeting for nothing. Disturb it, disturb it, disturb it, disturb it. And then he started to produce, uh, other people, other disciples. When you hear Apostle Paul, when he writes, when he's about to die, that, that man who had learned to walk in love. When you hear him, he says, God is writing to, uh, Timothy. He says, "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil. God will reward him according to his works. But you be careful of him."

He says, "He did me much." Not just evil, much evil. Intentional. He was of that line of the people that were entered by that spirit that saw the revelation that he had. But be that as it may, what I'm trying to show you is even when he went there, he encountered, encountered, and it helps for people to discover themselves. Listen to this. He was the priest of the most high God, and he blessed him. He's blessing Abraham. This is a coronation. From here, Abraham is going to go as a king in the order of who? And he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abraham of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth. And blessed be the most high God which has delivered thine enemies into thy hand." And he gave him tithe of all. And the king of Sodom said unto Abraham, "Give me the persons and take the goods to yourself." And Abraham said to the king of Sodom, "I have lift up my hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth." Do you hear? Abraham is deflecting. He's deflecting what? Melchisedec said, "It's too, it's too good. It's too high." When he said, "Blessed be Abraham of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth." When he said, "Possessor of heaven and earth," he was not referring to God or the Most High. The Most High is not the possessor of heaven and earth. He's the owner, the maker, the creator. When he says, "Abraham of the Most High, the possessor of heaven and earth," he's telling Abraham, "In your stature, in your growth, you have attained possession in heaven and earth." That's why your children are like the stars and the sand. The stars are in the heaven. The sand is on earth.

You have possessed those two territories. Glory to God. He is teaching Abraham. You are not a small boy. You are a king.

You are a king. Your authority has reached the heaven and earth. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So now Abraham, when he hears it, he says, "Look, the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth." God is the possessor of heaven and earth. He has made heaven and earth, and the regions far beyond.

You understand? He's the maker, the creator of all things. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Can you hear that?

Amen. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Melchisedec, the king of righteousness, the king of peace. Let me wrap up with this. Look at, uh, in the book of Hebrews, what the Bible says about him. And I'll wrap it up in Hebrews. Um, you know, in chapter 5, um, they talk about him, but I want to focus on chapter 7. So, uh, we lay the foundation well. Chapter 7, verse one. He says, "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem."

King of what? "Who encouraged David that unless I'm a king in Salem, I have not attained the order of Melchisedec." And remember, in the coronation, in the coronation of Adonai, the Lord by Yahweh, in that coronation, he is told he is a priest after the order of Melchisedec. Okay.

The whole coronation is emphasizing the priesthood. Okay. Mhm. David understood that there's this branch here, this branch of kings. I have to own that. Now, the one person who got a big revelation of the kingly branch in the order of Melchisedec kind of kings, it was Esther. I told you Esther came as a commander, and I, I think we have even a short message on it. Go listen to that message. She came as a commander of those, uh, the middle kind of angels, the monitors that come here on earth. Her death was so intense that the father and the mother were killed. They died. But she survived. And here's the point. Do you know Esther?

She became a, a queen in the, in Persia, right? Which is, uh, Iran. Maybe it's important I share this so you can understand what's, what the issue is. She, she became a, a king in Persia. But Esther was not from the royal family.

Do you understand? Yes. Mhm. She was from Benjamin, who had gotten the opportunity in the day of Saul, but they didn't sustain the kingship. And anyway, so didn't have a revelation of Melchisedec. It was not in that order. In Babylon, in Persia, where she was, there were kingly people from the family of Judah who had gone there through Cyrus, the king, who went as a young man and was carried to Babylon. And remember, he continued there, he gave birth to Zerubbabel, huh? Zerubbabel, that will later come back with Ezra to rebuild the temple. So before those people came back, Esther is there. They were there. The royals were there. What king did she become? What kind of a queen was she? Now, you may think it was the, the throne of Persia. Noted. She took the throne in the order of Melchisedec in that place. Now, this is the reason why that prince of Persia, that notorious spirit, has felt entitled to rule the world. Um, do you know when that prince of Persia blocked or arrested Gabriel when Gabriel was talking about that encounter? There are so many things that happened, but Gabriel said something. He said, "H, that prince of Persia who, who stood me," which means to block, and he used powers to do that and arrested him. He said, "He, he disappeared, and then he left me with kings."

Have you read that? Yes. He, he left me with kings. Who are those kings? Who are they? If you talk Melchisedec, you are talking royalty, kingship. So Esther, she understood, although she's sitting on a chair or a throne of Persia, she understood, "I'm sitting here in the order of Melchisedec." Remember, when you think Melchisedec, you have to understand this, that I'm saying to you, that you can be walking, you can be sitting with people, but you are on the path of what? Righteousness. They are somewhere else, but physically, you are together. The same applies even the throne. Are you listening to me?

That throne, when it was vacated, nobody sat on it. Are you listening? Until Gabriel came again. And his announcement is about that throne. Are you here? Glory. His announcement is about what? That same throne. When he said to Zachariah, "You are going to give birth to to a son. You call him John." Remember? And then after he then goes to give the messenger, "You shall give birth. Mary will give birth to a son, you know, Jesus, and he will take the throne of his father David." You remember that? Now, let's see the two encountering each other. John and, uh, and Jesus, where you meet, where you have a, a priest. Now, John, he didn't understand that part. He came from the priestly line of Aaron. Okay? The Bible calls it the order of Levi. The order of Aaron, the priesthood of Levi is the order of Aaron. It says that order submits to the priestly order of Melchisedec to a point that the Bible says when Melchisedec was blessing Abraham, says Levi and Aaron, they were in the loins. Because Melchisedec is, is generational, very generational. The time when he was encountering Abraham. And that's why I was telling you, possessor of heaven and earth. He was talking generation, including Levi, including Aaron. So even though Aaron will come as a priest, huh? Are you listening? Even though Aaron will come as a priest, um, his order will be lesser than that one of Melchisedec. Jesus is from Judah. How can he be a priest? He can only be a priest if he's operating either as a son of Aaron, or in the Levi, or in the order of Melchisedec.

I hope you are with me. So now John, he comes from the, the priest family, right? Yes. So he's baptizing people, baptizing, baptizing, baptizing. Here comes the Son of God. And then he can see by a sign, with this, this man, I can't baptize him. What did Jesus say? He says, "You do it to fulfill what?" It's a deck to fulfill all righteousness. At that point, John understood, "I cannot baptize him, exactly line and order."

Do you understand? Amen. I have to baptize him as a priest in the order of Melchisedec. Then he said, "Come, baptize him." When he came up, the heavens were opened. Glory to God. John understood there, and there's an order higher than my father's order. Now, he had been operating in that order. He didn't know because, first of all, the order of Melchisedec introduces things. Not only do they coronate kings, but they introduce John, who taught you that water can wash away sin because your father in the temple is killing animals.

Amen. Glory. Are you correcting what your father is doing? You are entering the people in the temple. They are coming down to Jerusalem, I mean, to, uh, a job done here to be baptized in water. In fact, the baptism of John, by, by which authority, who authorized him to do that? Melchisedec.

Glory to God. Hallelujah. He learned that water, glory, can wash away the sins of the people. Huh? Are you with me? He lied. I hope it's landing. He says, "Suffer it to be so now." That's in Matthew 3:15. "For thus it becomes us to fulfill what?" All righteousness. All righteous. All righteousness. All right. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. So I'm wrapping up, wrapping up in Hebrews, chapter 7. You are still there. So it says, "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings." He had to meet him after he heard that he just slaughtered kings to come and tell Abraham, "You are a king, and I'm here to inaugurate you. You've been living less of yourself." Hallelujah.

Glory. And blessed him. To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all. First being by interpretation. First being by what? Interpretation. King of righteousness. You see, if you hear the name Melchisedec, you pass it.

You must get the interpretation of his name. He's a king of righteousness. Glory. So, what have we been doing the past two hours? We are interpreting the king of righteousness.

Glory. Glory to God. Hallelujah. And after that, also king of Salem, that which is king of peace. That is after that. We are, we are not in that. It's after. God willing, we will visit the king of Salem. For now, the king of what? Righteousness. He says, "Without father, without mother." Is that not like? "Without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God, abides a priest continually." Did he die? Where is it on record?

Hallelujah. I wouldn't be surprised. He entered the portal and off he went. In Salem. He was there, and they found him no more. He entered. If Christ is made a king and a priest in his order, he was made like unto the Son of God. The Son of God went the way that he went. What if he is, huh? If he's made where the Bible says he is made, that's verse three, but made like unto the Son of God, which means even his birth.

Okay. The Son of God, his birth, he didn't have a natural father. He had a natural mother. Huh? Yes. He died and rose again. This one, they say without a mother, without a father. Did they die like in the case of Esther, or they were not there? He landed. He says, "The priest continually." He says, "Now consider how great this man was." We are considering it. We are doing the scripture.

Do, do you hear what the Bible says? It says, "Now consider how great this man was." Some people are say, "You are exalting this man." No, the Bible says, "Now consider." We are considering how great this man was. We are considering how great this man was. Who, and to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. How great this man was. Looks great. Hallelujah.

I'm telling you, he was great. He was so great. When David encountered him, he said, "I'm going to pattern my kingship after you." As I finish, just look at some of the the men that were, um, can we just look at, uh, Genesis 15:6? I want to show you something. Abraham meets him in, in, uh, Genesis 14. But in 15, what does he say in verse 6? I want you to see maybe, um, verse five. Okay. Genesis 15:5. The good thing about Abraham, Father Abraham is so humble. He's so humble.

Very humble. Glory. His humility is so great. He was not a hard man. Father Abraham, praise the Lord.

It was not a hard man. Um, the Lord calls him, you know, in verse 5, he says, "He brought him forth abroad and said, Look now toward heaven." That's what he said. "And tell the stars, if you be able to to number them." And he said unto him, "So shall your seed be." Shall be like those stars. You are the possessor of heaven. I'm talking about.

And he believed in the Lord. Do you hear? And he counted it to him for righteousness. Remember, he deflected when, uh, Melchisedec said, "Possessor of heaven and earth," and he thought, "No, he's referring to Jehovah." Now Jehovah came, he said, "Come out, come out. I want to show you. Come, look there. Come." They come, stars. Says, "Oh, I can't even finish them. I can't even get out of the Milky Way galaxy." And, and then God says, "So shall be." That's what I mean when I say you are a possessor of heaven. And someone will tell him, "His son shall be like the sand." Now it says, "He believed. He believed in the Lord, and he, the Lord counted it to him for righteousness." He was taught that secret by the master himself, the king of righteousness, that if you believe God, you can get credit in the form of righteousness.

Glory. Now, David will walk in this truth. I just want to show you three kings that walked in this truth, and I finish. Can you go to First Kings 15:11? First Kings 15:11. And then we wrap this up. First Kings 15:11. It says, "And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father." Do you hear?

Now it says he did that which was right. As a king, he had challenges like everyone will have challenges. But in the midst of those challenges, he must seek what is right, find it, and follow it. That's righteousness. What did he do in his case? He took away the sodomites out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. Okay? And also Maacah, his mother, even her, he removed from being queen. Why? Because she had made an idol in a grove, and Asa destroyed her idol and burnt it by the brook Kidron. Now I want to hear the expression, the path of righteousness are in every situation.

Whether your mother is an idol worshiper or not, there's a right way to do things. Hallelujah. Seek it, find it, and follow it. Even if your brother, your father, your parents are, say, right in the house and the family of, they are part of righteousness, they were divinely designed as ways of escape.

Hallelujah. Glory to God. Glory to God. They are divinely designed as ways of escape. Under all circumstances, what is your situation? There are ways of righteousness there. Seek them, find them, pursue them. No excuse. Even if you are down and out, and you feel that you are out, there are paths of righteousness. Hallelujah.

Glory to God. Hallelujah. You see, for him, he's surrounded by sodomites. And sodomites are noisy people. They're loud. They like to play as victims. They will make noise. How about dealing with your mother who's an idol worshiper, right in the midst of it? Do you think his mother challenged him? "My son, if you love me, you will come and and pay homage to this idol, this grove that I've made." The Bible says, Asa, in the midst of that, he found that righteousness for him before God, the righteousness of that David followed, is to remove this marker, my mother.

Are you listening? That for when he did that, it was counted to him for righteousness. He's righteous before God, as David his father was. So righteousness is meeting the challenge that's around you. And it's different for all of us. But in that midst of that challenge, we find the path of doing things right and being right before God. And follow that, do that. Follow that. And it's provided for for everybody. Even a teenager that finds themself with a child out of wedlock, it can get worse. They can end up with five, with five different fathers. But if they are anybody who is seeking for righteousness, it can be this one. From there on, they seek, seek you first the kingdom of God and this righteousness, and say, "I have one. I know it can get worse, but Lord, even in my situation, there are paths of righteousness.

Lord God, lead me in the paths of righteousness." You find yourself in the wrong friendships, wrong crowd, you can allow them to influence you. How you can come up with an excuse and say, "Nobody built my confidence. Nobody was there for me. They neglected me." You can do that if you want to. Those are paths of death.

Oh, you can rise up and say, "Oh, God, I'm in the midst of trouble here." But the Bible says, "You have made provision of paths of righteousness. Lead me in the paths of righteous." He will lead you. You will come out, and you will look so perfect. There was such a mighty woman of God as I close. Her name was Kathryn Kuhlman. The daughter of the Holy Ghost. As a young lady, she was serving God, on fire for God, visited their sister, went with her to a local church. They came an evangelist who was married. He didn't come with his wife. He was preaching there. Revival, revival. And you know, in the midst of revival, there are casualties.

Amen. No matter how big the spirit of God is moving, you will find casualties. You will, you, you will always find mad people whose madness even prevails in the presence of the move of the spirit of God. You will find crazy people. You find people that they just think life is about them. Somebody's angry in the midst of revival, healing, deliverance, or you will find people who just don't live right. Even when people are coming out to testify, "Me, I have left my lifestyle. Me, I have left alcohol. I have left this. I have left this." In the midst of that, you'll find people going deeper and deeper into sin. In the midst of revival, it's called revival casualties. You will find it everywhere because you just have people who cannot sense moments, the common sense moments. Well, what's happening here is so holy. It's not about me. It's not about me pursuing my feelings. It's not about me pursuing my interests. It's not about me pursuing, "Why didn't you greet me? Why didn't you talk to me? Why did you move me out of this chair into that chair?" You always find people like that. In the midst of big revival, you will find people offended. Do you know when revival, sometimes you are watching them on TV, what you don't see is people who should be on the stage singing, but they at home angry. You can't see that one, of course.

Yeah, somebody is at home angry. "No, they didn't talk to me. Well, I'm not going back to that place again." In the midst of revival, when you see crutches and you see, uh, wheelchairs in revival, what you don't see is casualties. Mhm. The usher that was at the back there, when others, when demons are coming out, the usher is at the back with the young lady. You have those. And people sometimes get surprised, but hey, they are there. So revival is there. The evangelist, he falls in love with the young Kathryn Kuhlman. And being young, your only defense is obedience. If you don't obey, wrong decisions. Young man yielded. That evangelist divorced his wife. Hey. Now, the Lord Jesus is very clear where he says the cause of divorce. You know where he says, "Can a man divorce his wife for anything? For everything?" Moses commanded. Jesus, he permitted because of hardness of your heart. In order for a woman not to be disadvantaged, Moses legislated it so it can be documented on this woman, instead of going away empty, you must give her one, two, three, four. Why? Because you have a hard heart.

Amen. But it was not so from the beginning. Then the Lord Jesus said, "Everyone who lives, uh, who leaves his wife or husband for another, uh, they commit adultery." Now, that judgment is going to happen. There are people who have done that and they are remarried now. Okay? It may be called marriage by people. It's allowed. There's children produced. I am telling you that those people will not make heaven because God knows their heart. Remember what it is. Is this, if a man, he meets a woman, he likes her for whatever reason. And then he's married. Now he goes home. He picks up error. Okay? He finds mistake so he can leave the wife. He may have valid reasons that people are convinced.

But God knows that all these things that he's

Saying here, even if everyone can agree, God knows. I know it started there with that desire. He entertained. So he left the woman for her. Even if it's legal like this, that marriage is called adultery. Even if it's written on paper and it's supported with children, even if that man or that woman can become a pastor and worship the Lord and before God, this is what this is. He is committing adultery. I know you won't say amen. I'm telling you what the Bible is talking about. This is adultery. That it's what God does not allow where a person will go because you see what the Bible says is if people come together, let's say you before you met the Lord and then you didn't know the Lord, so you know the Lord and the other person doesn't want God, they want to live their life. Says you can leave them, let them go and live their life. You follow God and you leave God and you can resettle again, it's allowed.

But the one way, secretly, a woman has met a hunk who's driving a nice car and now she starts finding fault with her husband who's driving a little Tesla. He doesn't give me time. He doesn't. Even if everyone can support with evidence, God knows our heart. He looks at the heart. So that's why marriage is a, it's a heart thing. If you check that Matthew 19, when Jesus is talking divorce, he's talking a heart thing. He said, "Because of the hardness of your heart." That's what, that's why God allowed this thing. Because you are hard in your heart. He looks at the heart face and said, "I saw your heart when it departed from the wife of your youth and the husband of I saw it and how it moved and went that direction. I saw it." That's when deception. That's what he means in Matthew chapter in Malachi chapter 2. Says, "I, I have seen your your deception, your treachery." He calls it treachery. "I saw your treachery."

There are men and women who are gullible. They will find fault because their heart is moving somewhere. So in that case, God says, "I will watch and look at that your heart and see." But be that as it may, in all situations, there are parts of what? Righteousness. They say, "Right way, can it be corrected?" Yes, it can be corrected. There are parts of righteousness. You see, there are parts of righteousness. Even for a man that before he knew the Lord, he was married. He's married to three women. Now he comes to know the Lord and he gives his life to Christ. Is there a way out? Yes, there are parts of righteousness. There is righteousness available for a man in that situation. For those in that situation. That's what went about teaching people. Glory to God.

Be that as it may, man. She, she went out with him. They arranged to get married. I'm talking Catherine. On the day of the wedding, she couldn't finish the vow. She fainted. She passed out. Passed out. The Holy Ghost knocked her. My house. So they settle, they, they stay. So she used to sit in a crusade. She used to sit in a chair at the back and she was always crying because the Holy Ghost will not leave her. The investment was too much. The investment was too much. You know, if God loves you and then you do something wrong and he's on your case, you must thank him. When he loves you, if he leaves you, hey, you must cry. Don't you care? Because he chastens those he loves and he ignores those he doesn't prefer. Did you hear what I said? He chastens those he loves. The opposite of that is he ignores those he hates. Which means he says, "I leave you on your own. Destroy yourself because I don't love you." That's tough. That's tough. So to have God still correct you and say, "No, no, don't speak like that. Don't think like that. Don't go that way. Don't feel it's an irritation. It's an expression of love. He loves you."

So one day, one day she said that, you see, she's finding the path of what? Righteousness. In the midst of that mess she created, it's a path of righteousness. So one day she was walking down the street and then it is said, it's her own account. She came to a, you know, those that road that it's a T, but the horizontal line is red, which means there is no, you know, you are at the end. So she reached that and said, "I've reached my end. This is the end of Catherine. From here, I'm giving you my life." She used to call that evangelist husband, "Mister." So she told Mister, "Mister, I know you have not done me wrong, but I can't lead like this. Yes, I have to follow him whom my heart loves." Turning to Jesus. She walked out of that place, out of that marriage. She found the path of righteousness. It learned, it led her to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in America. She, she left the place. She went to settle in a new place. The Catherine Kman that we know is the Catherine Kman after the error. The error we repeat because of teaching to learn. We don't repeat because of disrespect.

But the one who walked with God afterwards is much greater, not greater, much greater than the one who made the error. Yes. And she is known for the power of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. Huh? That power flows generation to generation. Pastor Benny, you can see her. Even in Pastor Chris, you see that same Holy Ghost moving like that. And he's moving. He's still moving. She absorbed that big Holy Ghost. Huh? She absorbed big Holy Ghost. So big that even when she died, the hospital, the electricity went out. That's how big that Holy Ghost was. She, she had carried big Holy Ghost. She attracted so much big of the Holy Ghost. Even when she goes to a crusade, when she passes through the kitchen to go to the auditorium, just without saying anything, everybody is down on the floor. Wow. That the, the, the Holy Ghost that he absorbed, that's why he couldn't leave her. He said, "You are the one I'm looking for. You are the one that can allow my full expression on earth." The big Holy Ghost that she brought, we are still living with him today. When she went, she sucked up the power of that hospital. Electricity was down, everything down. Even when they touch the body, they could feel warm instead of cold. Warm. Fire. When you say fire, fire of the Holy Ghost, it was still there. But the person is gone. But what she passed was big Holy Ghost. And that Holy Ghost is still not finished. The way the Holy Ghost that she had was so big is not finished. It's still touching people to this day. And he's still being transferred from generation to generation, from one place to another. Big ghost. And that's why he will not leave that investment. Do you see why the path of righteousness is available? Because when we make mistakes and we are genuine about it, we can seek him under all circumstances. All of them, not some, all circumstances and find the way out. There's a way of escape. It's called the path of righteousness. Can I hear somebody say, "He leads me in the path of righteousness"?

He leads me in the path of righteousness. Hallelujah. Glory. You know, the good thing is it's not just one part. It's parts. It's ways. I'll tell you the Hebrew word for it. Hallelujah. You see, it's parts of righteousness. Ways and tracks. Trenches of righteousness. They're designed like trenches. Hallelujah. If you are in this situation, you take it this way, you go that way, you will be all right with God. You are in this situation. You take it this way, you go that way, you will be right with God. You take it this way, you go that way, you go that way, you will be right with God.

Let us pray. Oh Father, we thank you for the king of righteousness and the parts of righteousness, the ancient parts of truths and righteousness that have saved many, many lives. Wide is the gate. Wide is the road that leads to destruction. But there is this narrow way. There's a narrow gate, straight gates. It leads to life. These are parts of righteousness. And we thank you that you are revealing them to us in every situation where we are in today. And we give you the glory for it. Thank you that you lead us in the path of righteousness, that you led the David, the great men of God. Thank you that for the sick, for the depressed, the confused, the strong, the weak, the blessed, the cursed. There are paths of righteousness available. As we seek, help us find them. When we find, lead us who will follow the paths of righteousness. And we thank you that this way we will correct even historical errors and in us shall be produced the righteous ones. And we give you the glory for it in Jesus name. Amen and amen.

Amen. Glory. Glory. Glory to God. Thank you so much for your time. Hallelujah. The word of God, the entrance of his word giveth light. Hallelujah. It gives understanding to the simple. We will be simple no more. We have the light of life. Walk in that light and be blessed in Jesus name. Thank you for your time. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for staying with us. I'm certainly excited to be back with you. Let me take this time to thank all my pastors that have taken time to prepare and come and share the word of God with you the past few weeks. Blessed be the name of the Lord upon them in Jesus name. Let's take the grace. Surely, surely goodness and mercy shall follow all the days of my life. And I will love God forever and ever. Covered by the blood of Jesus, the father of God, the grace of God. Thank you. I call on your name to my saints even when I felt like grieving. Jesus, Jesus, your name. Jesus, Jesus, your name. You took my life out of the hands of the snares. Pray your call with the one he made you mine. He's called you by name. You shine. You are, you are whoever calls in the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever calls in the name of the Lord will be saved. His great wings carry fighting is for you. The rock of ages. He crushes those who go against you. He's never so powerful as you die, my provider. My only God. Yahweh, Yahweh, I call God save me from pain. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Hey, you are, you are, you my brother? I feel like I'm getting there. Super.
