NCCI 5 | Understand your Authority clearly

All right, so this is our official welcome back to session, session five, to another, another session of the New Covenant Coaching Intensive. I trust that the first four sessions, in particular, have brought to light some things, in particular, that you may not have been taught in Western culture. I know some of those things, some of us, or many of us, may have heard it for the first time, and that just goes to show, to just goes to testify of how limited our approach to the Bible has been, right? How, um, how narrow-visioned we have approached the Bible and assumed a lot, assumed that a lot of things that, as you have seen, are not really things that some of the, some of the concepts that we have covered are concepts that really and truly is not normal for the, for the average believer, right? And I trust that, having gone through those concepts, that you are seeing for yourself that the Bible makes sense. Can everybody say that the Bible, the Bible does make sense? Everything makes sense, but we need to find out what is the perspective of the authors. As always, even as a translator myself, 20-something years of translation, if you, if you cannot identify the, the perspective or the mindset of the author that is actually speaking, you are going to create your own message. And unfortunately, we have an abundance of messages in the Western Christian culture that has not been beneficial to anyone at all.

So I hope that this is also bringing to light that the Bible does make sense. And I also hope that I can, I also pray that the concepts that we've covered so far has made your understanding of God, as well as is beginning to make your interface with the God of Abraham and the Lord Jesus, a lot less complicated than it was before. Can we, can we, can we attest to that? A lot less complicated and a, a lot, well, at least a little more straightforward, but a lot less complicated. And especially removing the transactional thinking from our paradigm, considering the scriptures. Um, we, we could see here that this is not as complicated as it has been made to be. It is very straightforward, and therefore, it is something, in particular, that is easy to engage, easy to engage. And it pretty much is lending credibility, more credibility. If, if there was no credibility, that these sessions are actually beginning to lend credibility to Paul's statement regarding the simplicity in Christ. Yeah.

All right, so tonight, now, I intended last week to begin to tap into, to touch Covenant, and we're going to start from the garden. In doing so, naturally, the Spirit, the Spirit spoke, spoke again, and pretty much nudged me in this direction tonight before we actually touch, to touch, to touch the, um, the Covenant. And the nudge made perfect sense. One of the things, in particular, that is imperative, so we passed the first two gates that we spoke about. We began to, we begin to, we begin, we began to take a look at, um, the difference in paradigm regarding transactional living in comparison to living from a personal oath. Before we actually touch the covenants, we, we actually know, we actually need to understand who we are coming into covenant with before we even touch the covenant, which most likely we're going to be jumping into the covenants next week, having covered this here today. But it doesn't really make sense speaking about the covenant if you do not know who you're coming into covenant with. And one of the things, in particular, that most Western Christians are not aware of is that their whole idea of God is 100% wrong. The whole idea of God just being the infinite one, even the idea of God being infinite that you cannot attain to, is 100% wrong. Now, He is all-powerful, but to say that you cannot attain to Him is to negate your covenant, because the mere fact that God is coming, bringing you into covenant, says a heck of a lot in the Bible. It has great weight in scriptures that the God of all things is coming into covenant with you. And that means that you may have, number one, given God a perspective that is that has separated your heart and mind, soul and body from Him, on your own, because of the definition that you gave. And number two, it would have also sunk you deeper into the hole of not being anything in the creation. Which means on both sides of the spectrum, you've missed the mark. This making sense now? If you miss the mark with that, you could be in covenant, but you're in covenant with your missing, with, with your mark, the mark that you have missed. And if that is the case, now your expectations of God are going to be heavily misplaced, heavily misplaced. And what you should be able, what you should, by the perspective of the scripture authors, expect naturally, is going to be far from you. And the things that they would expect that you should not expect is going to be close to you. And the covenant is now, in the covenant is now, you engage in this covenant with a definition of something that God did not give you. So it's just another form of subservience, and that is not what we want.

Now, in the Bible, what we about to speak about here tonight is directly related to authority. And what we speaking, speaking about here tonight, most of us may know some of these things already. But how many of us knows that the Bible demonstrates a hierarchy of authority in the garden and makes it a point to present God using, using? So, for example, we here on the earth, we are accustomed with kings, presidents, prime ministers, and we have in the, on the earth, when we hear these terms, we immediately begin to think about a certain level of authority. Yes, there's a certain level of authority. And when we think about a certain level of authority, we know from our perspective, when we think about this certain level of authority, we immediately think along the lines of the fact that with these titles comes the expectation that there's a certain parameter or parameter, not, not parameter in this case, but parameter, there's a certain parameter of authority that this title has. And anyone that is within that parameter is obligated to obey that person. Yes, that makes sense, everybody? We need everybody responding here right, so that we, we, we stay on the line that we're supposed to be for clear understanding.

Now, in Western culture, you are taught that you have to obey that person, which is technically right. But from the other side of the spectrum, as relates to the Garden of Eden, we are taught, once this is in authority, when you hear king, president, prime minister, once this person is in authority, you have to obey this person because this person has authority. And that is true. But in the garden, authority means the ability to fill everything under the authority with your spirit, which is with thoughts. In the context of creation, mankind, when he's under authority, because he has been given the Yahweh Spirit, he can choose to subject himself to authority. This is why the covenants, in particular, state, submit yourself unto God. Um, yeah, love God, submit yourself unto God, because there are two things working there. God is authority, and His thoughts can fill you. But because you are created like Him, you can choose to submit yourself to that, and therefore, you can obey. In the context of the rest of creation, an authority means the ability to fill the creation with thoughts, and actually, in doing so, in the name of Yeshua, you can fill it with life, and you subdue it. Which is what the blessing of Genesis is all about: be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, or fill the earth with life and subdue it, meaning that, that in doing that, you will, it will obey what, what you have filled it with.

Now, in the garden, there's an acknowledgement of the authority hierarchy, of, of authority in the garden. But when men fell out of the garden, men created their own hierarchies of authority, which is where we see the word king, all of these things. Do you know that, do you know that outside, which is, by the way, before I even say that, these titles, in particular, are titles of, you could say, titles of honor or titles of royalty? Do you know that there's a title outside of the garden, in the, in the world of Cain, that is given to God, that is given in the context of these titles of nobility or titles of royalty, that places God in this, in a space where He is acknowledged as, as with this title, in particular, He is acknowledged according to the system of titles of royalty and nobility? God, there's a name that is, that God identifies with outside of the garden, amongst the world of Cain, that places Him in the position where He is above and the highest, which is where the title in English comes, Most High. That places Him, that title that is actually translated Most High is a title that actually places Him above and as the highest title, above the titles of royalty and nobility that were created in Cain's world, specifically mentioned to identify that He is above all the kings, all the queens of the earth. And it starts with Melchizedek. Now, how many of us say, first time that there is a title, titles that are actually given in the, in the Bible that places Him above? And if you're hearing that for the first time, you're going to be further surprised to know that the titles in the Bible are given to identify who can fill who with thoughts. So whereas in Western culture, we have been taught the king can, can make a decree and all the nation has to follow, in the scriptural context, pay attention here, in the scriptural context, Papa, it's from, from the perspective of the garden. While in Western culture, you are taught that you have to obey the king, in the garden context, the king is the person who is placed over the nation or the kingdom. And the king has been placed in a position where he has the ability to fill the kingdom with his thoughts. Every decree that the king makes fills the kingdom with thoughts. And you see evidence of this where King David numbers Israel in con, in, in contradiction to what Yahweh instructed them to do. And because he is the king with the ability to fill the, with thoughts and to fill the kingdom with thoughts and to fill everybody who is under his command within the domain of that king, because he is the one who has given the decree, everyone within the domain is filled with his thoughts. When he made the decision, the whole nation suffered in union with him. How many of us saying that for the first time again? These are garden thoughts that it's saying, um, garden thoughts that demonstrate the spiritual dynamic. While in the Western world, you are seeing things from the king's perspective, so you see it as acquisition and obedience. Where the garden is showing that the person who has that title has the ability to fill everything within the perimeter of his authority. And so when David makes the decision to number Israel, and God told it, and God gave through Nathan, Yahweh gives King David three options, and King David says, fire be from him, that will be in the hands of men. The whole nation experienced the, the wrath of that decision because as king, once he makes the decree, he's filled the, the, the people with his, with the thought, with his spirit, and therefore the nation suffering is David's suffering. Is this making sense, everybody? Following? Type "follow."

Now, one of the things, in particular, that heavily impacts your covenant is understanding authority. One of the things that is disadvantageous to the believers in Christ is that the believers in Christ, most denominational circles, if you came from a denominational circle, I think that you could be safe for you to say that you, you may have read in the Bible that you have authority, but you have no idea as to what the construct of the authority looks like. And the thing is, in, in the context of the scriptures, is when you have a template, you know what to do. And if you've never made it a point to identify, like in a chart or a diagram, what, in particular, is the authority or the construct of authority, you are usually praying and commanding in the dark because you have no idea as to what your commands are filling. And you also have no idea, you also have no picture, no vision of what your commands are filling. And you also have no, no strength in your commands because of that ignorance. Does that make sense?

So tonight, what we're going to do is that we are going to take a look at the titles in Western society, then we will take a look at the titles of royalty in the Bible, and then when we have an understanding of this, then we're going to go into the scriptures and take a look at the title that, that is given to Yahweh to demonstrate that He is above, that He is the, that He is Most High. We're going to take a look at what Most High, what has been translated Most High, because once you come into covenant, that title you have to carry. And therefore, you need to know what is under that title so that you could know what you fill. And in doing so, when you come into the covenant, you will have more peace and rest with regards to the exercise of your authority, right? Remember, we are approaching this to, to give you, to, to bring you into the garden perspective of identifying that whatever has authority has the ability to fill, to fill that which it has authority over with thoughts. So clarity here tonight is going to place you in a position where you can exercise authority and not sit down second-guessing and guessing 20 times as to whether it is working or not. The reason why you're second-guessing is because you have not an idea as to what you have authority over in a, in a, in a, in a, in a template that actually makes it clear. Like if you go to England right now, with regards to their construct of authority, it is very plain in their Parliament, and it's very plain in Buckingham Palace. You could very well, they could very well easily go to the chart, which is like an organizational chart, and actually identify what they have authority over here. And if they need to make a decree, okay, well, we have authority over this, let's make the decree, and the decree goes out. In the Western culture, we see people who is, people are obeying the decree. In the garden, they just filled that entire community with a thought. And therefore, once they receive the thought from the king, the king's spirit is in them. And that's what we see with David and Israel. All right, are we ready? Are we ready? All right, all right, let's go.

So tonight, we're going to take a look at what the title God Most High is the translation of a particular Hebrew word that is the title given in the scriptures, the title of nobility and royalty. It's given in the scriptures to identify Yahweh's position in the entire, um, structure of authority in, in all the earth. So you're going to take a look at what that is and what it is not. So the first thing we're going to take a look at is what are some of the royal, the ranks of royalty in the West? All right, believe it or not, the title president, I didn't include president and prime minister here, mainly because those things are not really mentioned in the scriptures. The scriptures actually use the, the old titles. So we're going to cover the old titles. But president is basically someone who is presiding over the nation. So if, um, we can also say that a man presiding over the garden technically makes him president over the, one of his functions, that is. And the prime minister will speak for itself, that's the main minister, the minister who's actually making decisions for other ministers to follow. Now, these titles are actually used in systems of government that you do not find in the Bible. For those of you who do not know, the system that we are familiar with in the West, which is very, one of the main systems that we, that we hear about in the US, in the US, is democracy. And even though democracy pretty much came out from Greece, for those of you who may not have been aware, it came out from a society that was not only philosophical, but it also, it was also in the society that it was birthed in, it never really had much of a success rate. How many was here for the first time? Greek parliaments were always in massive confusion. I literally believe, and I always say, that people, people that do not know history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. And so what we have done is that we have incorporated in the Western World, in the Greco-Roman world, political ideologies or systems of politics that actually, like democracy, to be one of the many. And the same, the same chaos that we have, that that existed in the Greek Parliament, is the same chaos that exists in Western nations because nobody apparently took the time. I don't know why, or I shouldn't say I don't know why, because in some cases, if you really pay attention, has anybody ever noticed that when it comes to Moses's Torah, everybody in Israel was supposed to understand the law of Moses, which is the Torah, and to understand the construct of authority in Israel? And in the Western world, nobody has taught any of those things in school. Anybody ever noticed that? Like Israelites memorized Torah and came, was very much aware of authority and the destructive authority, so that they can walk in, in the scriptures. In the Western world, you are not taught one thing about your legislations in school, and in most cases, you're not really given much detail considering your political philosophy either. Does anybody ever notice that, or you're hearing that for the first time? T, I like the light bulb just went off this time, right? That is not by chance. That is not by chance, right? That is not by chance in any form of fashion. The, it is not by chance. And what I mean by that is, I, and I wouldn't even say this publicly on Facebook, but they probably shut down your accounts because I realize Facebook is very, very delicate, and you can't point, you can't vociferate truths that that actually, um, do not rub the emotional validation of others nicely. But you'll notice that in, in the East Middle Eastern culture, and even in the Orient, even in the Orient, if you go to check nations like, um, the Oriental nations, that most Western nations, especially nations in the Western Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere here meaning the Americas, they criticize the Orient. But they, but if you pay, if you draw a statistical comparison, and I'm just saying this objectively, this is, this is no bias here, because of what I do in the name, as a byproduct, I have to be familiar with civilization, nations, governments, to be able to understand some things. So a lot of it is, even I'm studying the name, it requires that I actually understand a little more, this, a little just a tad bit more than the, than the average believer, so that we maintain accuracy in the name. If you draw a statistical comparison between the Orient and the Western Hemisphere, on the Western World, Greco-Roman world, you'll realize that the Western world is always in chaos, always battles, always social unrest, always social struggles, social biases. Whilst the East, the Orient, it seems as though they came from a different planet, if you pay attention, that is. And most of it is actually because of the foundation difference in the foundation. Whilst in the, in the Middle East, Middle Eastern nations, which is where Israel would have been identified as, as being, you notice that those that came into Israel, they had to memorize their Torah so that they can actually walk out in Him, right? From someone who is not in Israel, what they would have noticed is that these people are memorizing these laws and they're keeping them. But the child, but a child at 12 years of age was already familiar with these things, which means that at 12 years of age, the child, having memorized the Torah, was deemed an adult because they were, they were that, but they were that, they, sorry, because they were given what is necessary for them to think, which is the principle of logic that the Name provided. So at 12 years of age, you could be considered an adult, and at 12 years of age, you consider a man, and you begin to live from there. Noteworthy, a principle is installed in them. And the, if you come outside of the religious hallelujah and the religious woo-woo and fluffy talk and look at it very practically, what you're looking at is at 12 years of age, they are familiar with the principle of logic that they can apply, and they're actually familiar with the laws that express this principle of logic. So you could put that 12-year-old anywhere, and he could probably, he could, he will probably and most likely outthink a 40-year-old man in the Western, in, in, in the Western Hemisphere. He'll outthink him. And in proof of this, you'll notice that people who are actually in the West, when they watch rabbis and they compare rabbis and pastors in the Western world, rabbis seem very, very intelligent and intellectual, while the pastor sounds like a motivational speaker. Anybody ever noticed that? Now, these things, in particular, are things that you might see, but you can't put two and two together. But because of the field of studies that I am in, to do what we're doing here at the Institute, I have to understand it, right? And I have to understand it in the different civilizations to be able to put, frame it, because you cannot manage what you don't understand. And what you're looking at is basically, in the Middle East, they were taught the principle, especially Israel, the principle of Yahweh, which gave them a system, a principle for them to think, to apply as a system of intelligence. Further east, to the Orient, many Eastern nations do not teach academics before, before they install at least 5 to 10 years of values based on the expression of a principle into the, into the minds of their children. Which means from young, they are given a principle, they're given values, and they, within the first 10 years, roughly approximately, within those first 10 years, they are, they are actually exercising these values. And so Israel seems like, seems like it's in order in the Bible, well, apart from when they, they go off and start to follow other gods. But in the East, right now, the whole East looks orderly, whilst the whole West looks like children in a pen. Now, this is not, I'm not, this is any form of fashion to diminish the value of anyone here, because I'm living in the West as well. But as I said, we must understand, understand these things. And democracy was started in Greece, and you'll notice a few things. Number one, the society is in chaos. And number two, nobody is taught anything about laws, principles, which means there is no, there is no system of intelligence that is really passed on. And, um, you, you'll notice that it is a decision in the West that nobody is taught anything even about the legal system, nor any in-depth information about the, about the political philosophy. And that's because the mindset of the Western world is very different from the mindset of the East, right? And one of the things that you see in our culture is that the very governments, whereas in the East, they are looking at a community that is moving together to prosper, and everyone is taught a principle. This is a, this is the main difference that we're looking at here between the East and the West, right now. So that you got, I don't mean, I'm not trying to mean this a history class, nor political, nor a class of jurisprudence, of, of philosophy of law, but it was, it is beneficial that you just have an idea as to what you're looking at, because as we go along with this, you stepping into covenant life, you notice that there's a massive difference between the philosophies of, of, or, or the philosophy of thought. And understanding this will better help you understand the society that you're living in and manage yourself in a covenant even better. Whereas in the East, Middle East, and the Eastern, and the Orient, the priority is collective progression. For collective progression to exist, which is what your Bible is about, equity for all, for collective progression to exist, whatever law is being implemented into society must be, must be centered around equity, number one. And it also, it must also be treated as a principle. Now, follow me, follow what I'm saying here very carefully. It must be treated as a principle. The opposite of treating the, let's say, the, the, the, the philosophy of law that you're using, the opposite of treating the philosophy of law as a principle is treating it as rules. Now, you, you have met this in your Bible, you just, you just didn't apply it in the context that I'm referring to right now. Paul says the same thing, he says, "The spirit in the spirit is life, and in the letter is death." Outside of, of the biblical verbiage, what he's saying is that when you're living from a principle, it generates life. But if you're living from rules, it is dead. A philosophy of law applied as a principle gives it life. A philosophy of law applied by rules as rules is a dead system. What does this mean? It means, and gives context to your scriptures. It means that where in the East and the Middle East, these principles were treated, the, um, the thought or the law is treated as a principle. When it's, when it's being treated as a principle, it is not being treated as an absolute rule. It's being treated as, like a law of physics. But when you take that and you apply as a principle, what it does in that is that it, it enables the user to create an ecosystem of life. Which means everyone in the ecosystem has to function by the principle, which is why they teach them from young. And functioning in the principle requires that you benefit from the liberties of that principle, but you also have a responsibility to protect the liberties of that principle in every other person and in all other creation. This is what the Bible is about. Most of us never grasped that. The reason why we demograph that is because in the Western world, we approach philosophy of law where we apply it as rules, which is why everything is being driven towards absolute laws. What does that mean? And when, when something is following an absolute law, it basically means that everyone, and I want you to pay attention to your society, because what I'm saying here explains why the Western society is in disorder. But apparently these things are not aware, most probably leaders are not aware of it. But when you're taking a, a philosophy of law and you apply it as rules-keeping system, it gives everybody the right to claim the liberties or the benefits of that rule without the responsibility to protect it in others. So even the wicked can benefit from the rule because it is a rule. Therefore, if, if it is a rule, both the law-abiding citizen as well as the criminal can lay claim on the rule, even though the quote-unquote criminal is actually destroying the society by breaking, by breaking the concept in principle. But because it has made a rule, anybody could lay hold on it. And if anybody can lay hold on it, then the society is not self-protecting itself as an ecosystem. It requires a third party, which is a judge, to come in and to identify how much of the rule you should experience and how much of the rule you should not experience. It requires a judge, which is why you notice that in your society, you are not taught law in school, nor pol, nor political science in school. And in addition to that, because it, it, because it actually comes from societies like Greece, which is a society that is based and was fully driven by self-benefit, not teaching your society law and political science places the government in a position where the government itself can benefit from the society. Because if the society, if the, if the, if the citizens do not understand the law, they are bound to break it, and it is going to give them revenue. Now, how many of us could say all of this is the first time you're hearing that? The first time you're hearing all of this? Now, because of this perspective, you read the Bible that is applying the principle of the Name or the law of Yahweh as a principle, and you could have never figured it out because the Western society took the philosophy of law and they applied as absolute rules. And by, by association, you went into the Bible and you try to make the Bible a rule-keeping system. But absolute rules breed death. The Bible is the opposite, which is the Most High. In the Eastern culture, they take the philosophy of law and it's applied as a principle. And as a principle, you not only benefit from the law, but you have the responsibility to protect the rights and liberties of others that are actually in the same system. So now the ecosystem is protecting, is protecting each, the, all members of the ecosystem are protecting each other. That's why you'll notice like Chinese philosophers, they seem very wise to the West because these guys understand the principles of nature and they apply it as principles. And in the West, all we're trying to do is to follow rules, and we depend on third parties to dictate who is who. It's because of that system, you could have persons in the Western world say that, um, we have the right to choose our agenda, impose it upon others, and then claim the right to the, what they're doing is claiming the right of self-determination, but imposing their self-determination upon others. Which means, in principle, they're destroying the ecosystem. But because the West lived by rules, they could do that damage to others and still lay claim on the rule until it gets to court. And right there, in 20 minutes, I explain the whole problem with your society. Most of us hearing this for the first time. Yes, that's the whole problem.

So when you're approaching scripture here now, you cannot live from that perspective. You have to let go of that perspective for spiritual function. You have to learn to apply this in a living way. And in a living way means that it must be applied in principle. And applying the principle of, of the Name requires that you apply to yourself, but also that you acknowledge the, the cosmos, the creation, as an ecosystem of self-existence and benefit that is benefiting equitably. Which means, as a member of the ecosystem, you are not only benefiting from self-existence, but you have the responsibility to protect the right of self-existence for all of the creation, so that all things can thrive. And that right there is the difference between the East and the West when it comes to philosophy of law. Jurisprudence is governing your countries. Jurisprudence is actually creating the platform for everything that is happening in a nation. The West is so oblivious to this fact that nobody, and do you know how, you know, here's a good way to know whether your legal system is actually functioning from the concepts that you believe is functioning in whatever the legal system is allowing to happen in the social arena, it is because the philosophy that the legal system is using does not have a problem with it. People in the society may have a problem with it, but your legal system does not have a problem with it. The philosophy of law makes that permissible. So I don't, I'm not trying to get into legal, into jurisprudence, no political science here tonight. But the reason why I'm actually pointing this out as a whole is that even when you come into authority, this is something that you have to understand. When you come into your covenant, this is something that you have to understand to be able to identify, to separate it from your heart, to be able to function in the Name and function in the Name as a self-existent priest, a son of Yahweh. Is this making sense, right? And that right there, even points out something that you see, seeing in the church. You notice how the church was looking at the Bible as rules, and how immature they are. Look at the Western world, they've been following the legislation like rules. They look like children in a pen, in a playpen, in comparison to the East. Laws are so oppressive. No, technically, not the law is oppressive. It is, it is the philosophy that, that guides the application of the law. So if you're applying the law as absolute rules, as a rule-keeping system, you're going to have oppression. Like in the Western world, even the Christian Church, holding the Bible in their hands, are promoting absolute rules. I want to get into that here tonight, but they're promoting the absolute rules. And when they pass the absolute rules, it means that somebody is going to suffer. Rules are not meant, or laws, a good, a good reference to understand laws, look at laws of physics. Laws of physics are principles in motion. If it was an absolute rule, gravity would destroy people. No plane could fly. Nobody could climb a mountain. Gravity will pull you back down to the ground with force. It's a principle. And the principle, if it's functioning as a principle, it functions within the ecosystem of self-existence. So once you understand the principle, you can manage yourself around it, as well as you can do other things in understanding how the principle works. If everything with absolute rules, creation cannot exist. And perhaps these thoughts are thoughts that are pretty much beyond the Western society, but it is in your Bible. And if you are functioning as a priest, you need to begin to liberate yourself from absolute rules and start understanding absolute principles. Make sense? This is how you live. This is how you live and promote life and not death.

All right, so let's move on. Let's move on here, right? So the first thing we take a look at is some of those ranks in the West. Definitions are come with these ranks. I'll not be, I'll not be speaking too much about presidents and prime ministers, as I mentioned. We're speaking about the, the, the, the, or the former order of royalty. We took a look at some of those things in the Middle East as well. Is that because they are rigid and anti-life? Yes, rules are anti-life. Rules are definitely anti-life. That's why you have to let it go to come into Christ. And all, then, then we will take a look at the text or the Name that is given in the scriptures and His position. I created a very, um, concise spiritual hierarchy so you could understand where you are in the spiritual hierarchy as a priest. And of course, your homework would be in personal application of this. So let's move on.

Now, when you think about the highest authority in society, how many of us think about the highest position of authority is kingship? How many of us could say that this is the highest authority that you know? Anybody knows any position of authority that is beyond the king in the, in the, in the hierarchy of authority in the world? Anybody? You know anything more than a king? Higher than a king? Now, a king is basically somebody who is given authority within a kingdom, meaning it is dominion of the king. And whatever, I'm not too sure who the picture is about, this is actually just taken out of, um, a picture library. Right, right. King of Kings. Okay. Um, there's one person in history that is known as King of Kings, it's Cyrus the Great, King of Persia, who was a king over many kings, and because he was a king over many kings, he became King of Kings. And when most of us, in particular, in the, especially in the Western world, we work with presidents and prime ministers, especially since most of us in the West broke away from monarchies. Right now, in the, in the Eastern world, and even in the Orient, I say Eastern, I mean the Middle East and the Orient, the common idea of leadership over a nation was actually somebody who had authority, and that person was the one delegated responsibilities, with the responsibilities of making the decrees for everybody to follow, or for, or for setting the, let's say, establishing the atmosphere for the territory. Right. High Kings ruling all right. So we have high kings as well. Now, within the Western world, because we are familiar with presidents and prime ministers, which were basically things that came into being after a while, became more prominent, especially since it was, um, a breaking away from the monarchy, political, political philosophies began to change a little bit because the monarchy pretty much put the authority into the hands of one or the hands of very few, and began to, they began to vary from that and began to give the people more active participation in the, um, in the rulership of the nation. They could actually participate, and some, in most cases, you could participate in actually in choosing who comes into, into power, and to participate in the legislations that are actually being passed to an extent. Because of this shift, again, another factor that involves, and this is something, in particular, that when you're coming into covenant with Yahweh, that you need to understand as well, because most of us come from a society, most of us here, if you came from Britain and those regions, you, you are very much familiar with what it means to live in a society that gives respect to a king. Most people in the Western Hemisphere do not even understand what that is. And most of us, since, if you come from Africa, you may have tribal leaders that also make decisions as well, kings across there as well. So persons who actually have any familiarity in those regions would have more understanding of what it means to live by a ruler, a king, someone who is in charge, somebody who's making decisions. Most people in the Western Hemisphere, in the Americas, are not familiar with this, because most of us now are actually living post-colonial times, and the political philosophies have changed. And so most of us are familiar with the idea of democracy, unless you come up in socialism or communism. Now, most persons here, I don't think anybody here came up in communism, um, based on, based on what I, um, um, I'm actually familiar with. But in understanding the authority and the leadership that we're talking about here, you have to discern, make, you have to be able to discern between these philosophies, these, or should I say, these sciences, these political sciences. You have to understand that most of us in the Western culture, we have come up very much in a democratic space, and that democratic space gave us a voice. And so if you take that, that, that posture and bring it into a covenant, you're going to have a lot of problems. Because in the democratic society, everybody has a voice, everybody can speak, and if they don't agree with something, they choose to, to do protests. We got some placards in the street and say, "We are, we, we don't want this," we don't, those kind of things, right, right? And that's because you are given the idea, you come up in a society that has actually taught that you have a voice, you can stand up against things that are actually not, that you don't agree with, you can voice it. Monarchies don't work like that. Anybody who's come under that king, especially if it was a strict one, that king, and the king says something, and you go outside there protesting, what happens? Exactly. You could lose your head, depending on the king that you are under, right? Which is why you notice, you notice where in European nations that are familiar with that, especially if, if you're in Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, um, they are, when you go across there, like one of the things that stood out, do you all remember the story of, or the, the whole issue with, um, this, what's her name, who went across to Europe, and it seemed like it was a culture shock for most persons in the West to, to see how those people in Britain manage themselves, how much respect that they have for the monarchy, and how much honor they give the monarchy. Why, as we in the West, we treat that as limitations, where's the liberty and all of that? If we take that concept and bring it into covenant, there's no doubt about it, you are going to inflict suffering upon yourself. Because a covenant comes very much, a covenant comes together with certain principles that a monarch, that that a monarchy carries, which is Jesus is King, for example. King. And as Jesus is King, the person who is in a democratic society may look at that and think that they, when, if Jesus says this, well, I believe this. But Jesus are not seeing this. Most of our quarrels in the Western world is because we are democratically postured, while somebody from a covenant, from a, from a monarchy, if they say Jesus is King, they know by culture, whatever the king says, that's what you do. And if you don't agree with it, seek an audience with the king, but you do not rebel against the king. Your, your covenant, in particular, comes with that perspective. And therefore, leadership is seen as something with great weight in your covenant because of this perspective. Most people in the Western world, when they come into the idea of having authority over creation, most of you have the expectation of disobedience. Because the democratic society postured you to think that you could not agree with the government. And because you have that, that freedom there, you are postured in a way where now, when, when you have the authority, you have the expectation because of your posture of disobedience. Does that make sense? Right now, most people don't talk about this in church because even the Western church is postured in a way, and their doctrines are based on Western philosophies, so they are not identifying any difference. And so for most people, commanding healing, commanding devils to leave, you have an expectation in the back of your mind that this devil could say, "No, I'm not going anywhere." Your society postured you like that. Somebody from a monarchy who understands the position of, of a king, if he's representative of the king, and he says, "The king says this," they know, obey the king, or everybody will be slaughtered, right? You will be arrested, and you will be hung. You understand what I'm saying? Somebody who's come from that culture could come into a covenant, and if Jesus says, "Do this," they're doing it, and they're obeying it because of posture. Now, I'm not saying this in any form of fashion to diminish or to speak condemnation against you. I'm saying that if you want, if you want success in your covenant, that has to change. And if you want to understand the true authority of these, of these titles that we are about to cover here, you have to get rid of the idea that the creation can have an opinion against your, against your decisions, against your judgments. Is that making sense to everybody here? Need everybody respond. I'm not saying that you're going to just be able to switch it off like a switch, but what I'm saying is that you can make a decision to begin to treat your covenant with that level of respect and treat Yahweh, your Father, who is not a Western Father, He's a Father according to the ancient Middle East. And that is basically somebody who is in a position of authority. How many of us are familiar with, not that I'm bringing all, bringing in all these external things here, but I need to use concepts that you understand. How many of us are familiar with, with the mythology, nor mythology, which is, it deals with Thor and his father Odin? Many was familiar with it? Never heard of it? Nor mythology? Anybody ever saw the movie Thor? Thor, T-H-O-R, Thor? Anybody saw that movie? Thor, the movie, right? Everybody saw the movie. Everybody know the movie Thor. All right. Your ancestors, all right, great. I wasn't allowed to watch it. All right, all right. In mythology, Thor has a father, he is called the All-Father, which is Odin. That idea of father is, is closer to the idea of Father of Yeshua than what we think about our father is in the Western culture. Now, I'm not saying that Father in the Bible is not a father as in us.

Culture. I'm seeing that in the context of authority, Odin, or father, is closer to the idea of the authority figure of a father in the idea of authority in the scriptures. Now, I'm not trying to draft that into this. I just threw it out there for those who knew. For those of you who don't know, you can just go and research it. You don't have to watch the movie. You can just go and research Odin. And even though it is mythology, you see what is the idea of a father in the concept of kings in the scripture, in, um, in the, in the, in the, well, Norse mythology, I think, is more on the idea, more on the side of Scandinavia, um, as far as I remember. But understanding the concept would actually bring you closer to understanding father here, not only as a father figure, but a father in the concept of authority.

All right, in the, in the, in the, in, in the, in the scriptures, these titles that we're about to cover here, especially the title that is given to Yahweh in K's world, which is first seen with the high priest Melchizedek, this would actually give you more context as to the kind of authority that these titles come with. When these persons were given these titles, there was no expectation of rebellion or someone undermining their authority or making decisions or having opinions that contradict the judgment. Is this making sense? Right? I know it took me some time to lay this foundation, but it is necessary so that you can understand that once you are in a position of authority, you get given that title, it comes with great weight. Everybody following? Type "sense." Are you all seeing how many things in Western culture pretty much postured you to not really understand these concepts in the Bible? We just, we just assumed in Western culture that it was within our paradigm, and it is not.

All right, now, for those of you who don't know, the only other concept that is above the title king or high king is emperor, right? That's why in Rome, you hear Roman Emperor. An emperor is someone who is above a king, which means if there are kings in the region, whatever the emperor says, the king has to follow, right? You see this in Rome, even though it's not something that you are paying attention to, but you see it in Rome. The emperor says something, and all kings follow. Notice the pattern. The emperor makes a decision, and the kings have to obey because the king is lower in authority to the emperor. The emperor, therefore, has greater, greater, greater parameter of authority. And so that emperor makes a decision, and boom, everybody obeys, even the kings.

Now, within Western society, this is basically the structure of, or let's say the hierarchy of authority that you encounter. You have emperor, then king, then prince, mostly within the European region. You have Dukes, Marquis, Count, Earl, Baron, Lord, and you have a Knight. Everybody, everybody familiar with these terms? If you didn't, if you didn't study it, at least you saw it in movies. Somebody say "Lord so-and-so," and "Baron so-and-so," and "Duke so-and-so." You see them in movies, right? On the left would be these titles, and the higher you go, the more authority and more influence these persons had, right? This is the order of the hierarchy. And the higher you go from Knight, from to Lord, you go up. The higher you go in, in Europe generally, the higher you go, the more authority that person had, the more influence they had in the society, and the more wealth they had in the society. So the wealth of an emperor is nations, basically. The wealth of a lord might be a few acres. Does that make sense? Everybody following that? Emperor, his wealth and nations, and kings, nations. The wealth of the lord would be acres.

Here's one of the problems that you encounter when reading your Bible, because Yahweh was translated as Lord. Your mind can limit God to the owner of the territory. You didn't ever see Yahweh naturally from the perspective of someone who owns nations, who's the authority over nations. How many of us could say that until you learned this, this was your perspective? It limited him to the owner of the territory, but it never really assimilated it to leader of nations. So you read "Lord," you think territories, land owner of servants, and you put yourself under that. Then you go to Revelation, and it says the angel says, "The kingdoms of this earth have now become the kingdoms of our Lord." And you did not connect that to you, that something special to Jesus. This is the danger of definitions and titles. Everybody following? Everybody? If you're following, type "yes" in the comment section. Make sure that we're on the same page now.

Because of this confusion, you struggle with authority, and you don't even know that you're struggling. Apart from the democratic posture that you've been given, when you hear "Lord," you think the owner of this, and it doesn't register in your mind and heart that He is the kingdoms will become the king of our Lord. So in your mind, you're struggling with authority. I can tell you that you're struggling with authority because I know I came from there too, until I began to understand properly the order of royalty in the scriptures that nobody teaches in the Western world, by the way. Another component that is not taught. So if you came up in the Western world, because we're familiar with presidents and prime ministers, we see a president who is presiding over a nation. Nowhere in Western culture have you met, like your mind, until I mentioned this tonight, your mind never saw the idea of Yeshua being the president or a leader over the whole, let's say hypothetically speaking, you have never saw a leader that steered the whole Western Hemisphere. You grew up in a culture where every country had their own leader, and this is a worth a university degree of teaching. All should have to grasp what the whole world. I agree, bro. I agree. I agree that they, especially believers, if they want to understand, these are things that you need to understand. Totally agree, holy brother.

So what I'm saying, what I'm saying right, in your mind, your mind never was able to assimilate that Yeshua, because you never saw a leader that had control over, let's say, for example, the whole Western Hemisphere. I mean, all of the Americans. You only knew a president and a prime minister. And therefore, your understanding of authority has been limited by that model. Is that, is that, who could say that they have, if it's now or just re, or at some point in time? Light bulb, light bulb. Give my like, "B" in the comment section. All right, anybody else? This is super important. And because of that, you struggle to see authority. You're struggling, you're struggling with authority because your authority has been confined to the model that you are familiar with, and nobody taught you anything different. And because they call him Lord, and you attribute the idea of a lord or somebody who had servants and somebody who had territory, you're talking to God. And when God says something, you are panicking. Why? Because you didn't know that Yahweh, you know Yahweh by that model and limited him to that model. You do not understand what it means to live in a world where an emperor, for example, is running your territory. If the emperor makes a decision and any king doesn't follow that decision, he's likely to get his head cut off. He's likely to be hung or to be decapitated, face the guillotine. Somebody in that culture, when they hear the emperor say something, they know however the emperor says is going to take full effect, and it doesn't matter when and where and how it is going into effect. So somebody who's living in that culture comes into understanding Yahweh in the hierarchy, Yahweh speaks, they have more rest in what Yahweh says than what our Lord says, right?

All right, so even if you see God as Most High, a lack of understanding of the construct leaves it very abstract as well. Because I knew God as Most High as well, but a lack of understanding of the construct didn't really give me a grasp as I have now of what that kind of authority is, right? And so when we pray now, and we commanding the wind, for example, we commanding these things, and we don't see immediately the knees start to buckle, why? Because you don't understand the hierarchy. Does that make sense? You know it abstractly, you don't really, you don't understand it concretely. Most of us in Western culture, when we hear Most High, like I heard it before, I pray that regularly. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High" for years, I pray, I pray. And in my mind, okay, He's sitting in the clouds. But what does that authority concretely look like? That's the problem.

So in Western culture, this is the, this is generally the order of the thing here, as I said, here, the higher you go, the more territory you have, the more influence you have, the more, um, what do you call it, the more influence you have, and the more wealth you have, the more authority, influence, territory, and wealth. Everybody following? Yes. The Centurion knew it. That's why the Centurion could walk in faith because the Centurion understood authority, which was a hint to believers that if you understand authority, what the authority is over, you would never shake and buckle. I need everybody responding that you're following. Yes, or "follow." Type "yes" or "follow."

All right, so in the European ranks, you have King, where they start from the Lord of the Manor. A Manor is like a mansion. Knight and Lord, Baron and Baroness, Count, Earl, Viscount, Duke, Duchess, Prince, Princess, King, Queen. In Middle Eastern ranks, you have these titles such as King, Sultan, Amir. So let's take a look at some definitions before we move on. One, your Imperial titles, Emperor and Empress. This is the highest rank of monarch ruling over an empire that encompasses multiple kingdoms or nations. Emperors are typically considered superior to kings and queens. What does that mean? But what if the emperor or the empress speaks? Every king has to follow. They have no choice once they're within his empire. An empire here is definitely a space where there's multiple nations.

Then you have Royal titles, Kings, King and Queen, which is defined as a sovereign head of a kingdom. Kings and queens are the highest ranking rulers within a single nation or territory. Under that will be the Duke, Grand Duke, which is a noble rank above a Duke but below a king. Grand Dukes typically rule over a Grand Duchy, which is larger than a Duchy but smaller than a kingdom, which means they have a smaller place where they have rulership over, right? So you go there, and they are the person ruling over that region. Prince or Princess, members of the royal family, often children or close relatives of the king or queen. Princes and princesses can also rule smaller principalities.

Then you have Noble titles. Notice, notice as we go down the list of titles, the regions get smaller. Therefore, your territory gets smaller, your rulership is more limited, and obviously, your wealth is lesser. You have Duke and Duchess, the highest rank in the British peerage system below the royal family. Dukes rule over duchies and are addressed as Your Grace. Marquis or Marquess, a noble rank below the Duke and above an Earl, right? Marquis or Marquess, historically governed border territories known as Marches or counties. Earl, a noble rank equivalent to a count in other European countries. Earl, traditionally governed counties. You see, we're going smaller, right? Viscount, to Viscountess, a noble rank below an Earl and above a Baron. This, by counts often assisting Earls in governing their territories. Baron, the lowest rank in the British peerage system. Barons govern smaller pieces of land and are often summoned to advise the monarch. Then you have Baronet. A Baronet, a hereditary title ranking below a Baron but above a Knight. Baronets are not considered part of the peerage but hold a position of dignity. And Knight, what Dame? Honorary titles granted for service to the country. Knights and Dames are not part of the peerage and do not hold hereditary titles, right? That's why in, um, in Britain, you could be knighted, and knighted, you have the title, but that does mean that you have, they're giving you territory or they are giving you riches. You're inheriting anything that's that, that does not come with that.

All right, now let's take a look at royalties in the Bible. Let's take a look at some of that. Kings and Queens. The king in the Bible is the highest rank of royalty, often seen as the supreme ruler of a nation. Examples include King David, King Solomon, and King Saul. They rule over a nation. Pharaoh, the title used for the kings of Egypt, such as the Pharaoh during the time of Joseph and Moses. They also, the title Pharaoh is another title that actually means king, so it's a parallel title. They also rule over a nation. Herod is another king in the Bible, although Herod, although Herod Antipas was technically a tetrarch, he's referred to as a king in the New Testament. Queens, you have, for example, the female counterparts to the king. Queen Esther and Queen of Sheba are notable examples of queens in the Bible. You have the Queen Mother, a significant position in the royal court, often the mother of the reigning king, such as Bathsheba, the mother of King Solomon. You have Princes in the Bible, a title for leaders or nobles, often used for the sons of kings or other high-ranking officials. Examples include the princes of the tribes of Israel. So you notice that there's a king in Israel, and then you have the tribes, and so the tribes have, they are the leaders over that particular tribe, so their authority is limited, whereas the king would have authority over all. Duke, a term used for tribal leaders, particularly in the context of the descendants of Esau. How many of us know that Jacob had 12 sons that were called princes? Esau had 14 sons, they were all called Dukes. Anybody here enough? Say "all." All right, maybe we need to do a little Bible fact session. All right, Princesses. Right? Do anybody know where anybody has ever heard about the region called Petra, Jordan? Petra, Jordan? I encourage you to go check out Petra, Jordan. Just look for it. Petra, Jordan. Petra, Jordan was formerly called Mount Seir. Does that ring a bell to anybody? Petra, Jordan, formerly called Mount Seir, and Edom. Yes, Edom, called Mount Seir. Anybody familiar with Mount Seir or Edom? Mount Seir is in the Bible. Mount Seir was where the Horites lived. Horites were called Horites because they were cave dwellers. They would, they would, they would carve caves out of mountains. When you go check Mount Petra, Jordan, you will understand what I'm speaking about. The reason why I'm mentioning it is that whilst Israel occupied Jerusalem eventually through being established as a kingdom by King David, Esau dwelt in Mount Seir and had his 14 Dukes in Mount Seir, which means Petra, Jordan is evidence of where Esau lived. If you have never heard about it, go check it out. If you have enough time, I might put it up on the computer. If not, I'll post some pictures for all. First time hearing that as well. Watch me. If you all actually studying this Bible, you all should actually, you know, I'm just encouraging you here to expand your understanding of the Bible, understand where these sites are. There are many places in the Bible that exist in the world today, and it's good to actually use these or view them and understand where they are and the history behind it, so that not that I'm giving you research to do, but again, it's, um, we need to know that in the institute because of what we do, but it's good to be able to lay claim or you, or have evidence that you can see of your scripture, so that you know that it, or it lends credibility to your mind and heart that these things that they exist. And so when we have persons in the Western society bashing the Bible, it sounds foolish because not only is it verifiable by power, but it's also, they're also historical landmarks for that actually title the Bible. Yes, thank you very much. That's holy sister Monica. Thank you very much for sharing that. That's Petra, Jordan, right? Or at least the main hall of Petra, Jordan.

Princesses. We have daughters of kings, often involved in political marriage to strengthen alliances. You notice that King Solomon married princesses. He married princesses to strengthen the alliance of Israel. We have Nobles as well, a person of high rank of noble birth, often holding significant influence and land. You have rulers in the Bible as well, which is a general term for leaders or officials, including military command and governors. And then you have officials such as Governor, an appointed official overseeing a province or territory, such as Nehemiah, who was the governor of Judah under Persian rule, right? You have Daniel as well, who was actually given rulership, the title that he was given was President. He was actually given president over rulership over provinces, and his, and the other Hebrew brothers, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, as the Bible refers to them, they actually were the leaders of provinces. All right, so that's why I notice in, in your, in your culture, in our culture today, your president is over this region, but the region or your country is actually, is actually a culmination or a composition of regions. In the United States, they call them States, right? Of course, with the United States, that's generally understood as a federation or confederation. If you hear that for the first time, I would encourage you to go research it because you, because of the confederation, there are certain powers that the president of the United States has, whilst other states within the United States are independent and can make their own decisions. How many for the first time? All right, great. And so there's an example of regions, and so the president is presiding over regions. See that? Yep. Thank you very much for this, Monica. I appreciate that. So you have Governors and appointed. So what sister Monica showed in the comment section there, that's where Esau lived, right? And the Horites were cave dwellers. That's why you notice that the whole hall, the main hall of Petra, there, they dig out, they've dug out, they dug it out, and the doors are high. Officials, Governor, which is an appointed official overseeing a province or territory, such as Nehemiah, we just mentioned that. And there's Judge, leaders who ruled Israel before the establishment of the monarchy, such as Samson and Deborah. You also have in the Bible religious titles, High Priest, which is in Hebrew called the Kohen Gadol, the chief religious, well, they call it religious leader on the internet, but it's really the high priest was actually Yahweh on Earth. So he was the chief leader before Israel was separated, the, sorry, not the Israel, the kingship was separated from the priesthood. Everybody would also look towards the priests, right? Responsible for major rituals and ceremonies, the temple. Examples include Aaron and his descendants. You also have priests, which would be Kohen, which should be like assistant priests around the high priest, and not those are members of the tribe who perform the religious duties in the temple. And then you also have Prophets, individuals chosen by God to deliver his message. You have prophets who, who also priests, such as Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and so on. You have Isaiah, Jeremiah, Samuel, and you have a list of prophets in the Bible, Nathan, and so on, and so on. Now, these are the titles in the Bible, and these are the, this is the authority that these guys had.

All right, you also, lastly, I think this is the last point here, military leaders. We have, if you have Commanders, which were leaders of the military forces, such as Joab, the commander of the king of King David's army. Notice that he's called a commander, he has authority over the army alone. Centurion, somebody mentioned the Centurion. The Centurion is also someone who belonged to the Roman army, and he had charge over 100, 100 soldiers. This is mentioned in the New Testament. All right, the Roman army also had categories, which is why you hear terms like Centurion, you have Legion, Cohort, all of these things. Now, my point is here that all of these titles have authority over something in particular. The king over the region, the emperor over an empire. So you can say that the emperor is, has he has an authority over an empire. The empire would be would consist of various kingdoms, which means various kings. So you could say that the emperor is a king of kings. Then you have the king who is, who has authority over a territory. Under the king, you have Dukes that have authority over regions, and so on, and so on, and so on. The lower you go, the lesser the parameter of the authority, they lesser the wealth, the lesser the, what do you call it, lesser the wealth, the lesser the influence as well. Everybody following this? Type "follow." Right? This is like a little crash course on authority in the Bible. A crash course. We're doing a mini crash course here in religion under Constantine. 100%, 100%. Right, you have the Pope. The Pope actually was meant to represent Yeshua on the earth because the, um, what do you call them, the Romans, because they had occupied the territory of Jerusalem, they were familiar with the temple structure. Have you all ever noticed, ever paid attention to the fact that the Pope is in one location in a city, they call it Vatican, but he's in a city, and all other priests connected to Rome, when you go to the church, they call him Father. Anybody, everybody know that, right? Call, call it priest, Father. What you are looking at there is Rome's attempt. Yeah, Vatican is separate in Italy. What you're looking at there is Rome's attempt. It was the Roman Emperor's attempt to replicate the, what do you call it, the, um, the, the, the structure of authority that the Jewish, that the temple in Jerusalem had. So just as you go to the priest and you call him Father, what you are looking at there is their replica. Now, it's not the full, the full replica, but the, the, they actually imitated the structure so much that the Pope would represent the high priest, and all those other priests in the world would be the various priests that would work in the temple that would respond to the Pope, and it took it from the whole idea of Jerusalem, the priest, and all of these temples and these priests all over the place. And what, when you, when you, when you approach a priest and you call him Father, what you are seeing there is what are priests of Yeshua supposed to do as well? What you're seeing there is an example in the Western world, their own example of how every priest was in the name, and when you approach the priest, you approach God. And because of that, now as time has gone by, as time has gone by, these details have changed, and the motivation to the details have changed, but Constantine used the system from Jerusalem. Now, even though he was a Gentile, as a Gentile, the priests them would not actually give him all of the details, but they were in contact with these priests, with these Pharisees, and so on. So you are, what you are looking at, every time you go, every time someone goes to the Catholic church and you say Father, what you are looking at is their version of what they saw in Jerusalem, priest taking on God's name, and it's the priest taking on God's name. You address the priest as an extension of God. Does that make sense? And the Pope would be the like the high priest who is representative of God on Earth, which is, which is what they call the Vicar of Christ. You have been looking at that system. Now, I know many people criticize the system, and I'm not, I'm not saying the system is justified. What I'm saying is you have evidence all around you of what these guys try to copy. All right, yes, it has changed within the last 60 years, but the Jews would actually approach and they would refer to him by the name that God gave. And if God is actually identified as Father, it's, um, there is no, yes, there is one mention of at least one that comes right now in the scriptures of God being referred to as Father, and that's in Malachi chapter 2, where God identifies himself as the Father. So Israel could have referred to the high priest as Father because he is the embodiment, the priest was God to the people, and Israel to God, he was the intermediary, right? So all of that is involved there. But again, I'm not trying to, this is not a, what's the word, what's the, we should use, right? This is not a, I'm not trying to change this into, um, what, what kind of class we would call this? Way, this is a crash course, a tight, a tight crash course again here, right? But basically, this would be a class on the world order, I guess, so that we could come to this point that I'm coming to here. Nice.

Now, having understood all of that, the main thing I want you to take into consideration here is that the higher the title, the more vast the perimeter of authority. And as you come down in the, in, in, in, in the hierarchy of these titles, smaller amounts of smaller regions of authority, less responsibility, less wealth, less influence. Is making sense to everybody? In the Bible, you have hierarchy of authority in the garden, and then I'm going to, then we're going to touch the hierarchy of authority or the title of authority outside of the garden after the man makes the decision, right? It's important as we have been programmed. Yes, it is. I totally agree. So in the garden, we have covered before. For in the garden, the hierarchy of authority is Father reproduces Son, Son reproduces Heaven and Earth, which is called the garden. All of them are called Yahweh. Yahweh reproducing Yahweh reproducing Yahweh. Father reproducing Son reproducing Heaven on Earth. Is everybody clear on that? That is not something that should be new to you. Which means, as we see here, Yahweh means He is self-existent and eternal. When the title, when the title is given in the Bible, which is how you know, which is how you know that it is a hierarchy, when it's titled Yahweh is given in chapter 2, it clearly says Yahweh Elohim. Now, many of us have been taught that Yahweh Elohim is one title, which is true from a certain standpoint, but the title Yahweh next to Elohim in the Hebrew was meant to communicate Yahweh, the Elohim. Anybody here now for the first time where it means, which means Yahweh, the authority, Yahweh, the Elohim? It's okay to read it, Yahweh Elohim, the self-existence and eternal authority and power. But what it was meant to specifically identify in this text was Yahweh, the Elohim, meaning Yahweh, the authority and power, which is the title given to the man in the garden as the title of authority in the garden. Once he's given the title, the Elohim, it immediately indicates that the rest of the garden are his subjects. Everything else in the garden is subjects. So much that if you go to, if you go to some, this is something that is not taught. This right here, let me show you this. Let me just put it up on my, on my, on my phone here, right? If you go to some, we're going to some Psalm 1. Psalm 119. Let me permit me to put it up on the screen so you could say, well, not emperor, there's another term that is given to Yahweh, but yes, you get the idea. Police, stellar, we come into that just now, but yes, that's the idea. So you could say that He's the emperor of the garden. We're going to Psalm, sorry, 119. Look at this right here. How many of us now understanding what I want to show you here? Watch this. I bet you didn't know this was in your Bible. Psalm 119 from verse 89 reads, "Forever, O Yahweh, Thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness is unto all generations." Expansion. "Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth." Which means the presence of the earth in this line here is saying that the presence of the earth reveals the faithfulness of God to all generations of mankind. Verse 91 is the verse we go into. "They continue this day according to Thine ordinance." Ordinances. Expansion. "All are Thy servants." That means all creation is the servants of Yahweh. In the, how many just realized that that, that anybody ready? No, now that you understand that, now you understand what the Centurion was saying. The Centurion mentioned the authority. Now, for the Centurion to know that the Centurion is not a member of the Abel lineage, which means he cannot figure that out by himself. He is educated in Cain, which means that Centurion was around Jesus while he was teaching for a long time, and eventually understood what Jesus was saying, and therefore approached Jesus and said, and said what he said concerning authority. What gave Jesus, what gave Jesus, or sorry, what Jesus said related to the garden was he said that you have great faith. You are expected when you hear that to go and find where great is first mentioned, and that takes you to Genesis chapter 1, the great lights. Which means when Jesus said, "See what great faith," it's the same thing as Jesus saying, "See what great light." The great light is, let's take a look at what the great light is. What is the great light doing? Genesis 1. Oops. Genesis 1. What is the great light doing? Genesis chapter 1, we are in day four. It says, "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; great lights." And what are the lights doing? "Ruling the day and the lesser light to rule the night." Which means Jesus immediately responded that his understanding of authority comes from Genesis 1. The authority in Genesis 1, the same authority he's talking about is the same authority that someone, pay attention to what I'm about to say here, the same authority that He is referring to having servants is the same as for you to have this, for you to have the faith that he has. What Jesus is really inferring is that you must have that same understanding of authority in the garden. And this is what I'm showing you in Psalm 119, that Psalm 119 literally says that the creation, all creation are God's servants. Now, now that I said that, it registers different in your heart, and now you can speak, and you will have more rest. Your faith will be more consistent because you know that if you speaking Yeshua to the creation, to any aspect of the creation, it is a servant, and therefore it has to obey. You see what I'm saying? Because it is your servant. How many of us hearing this for the first time? You're reading that for years and didn't realize that Jesus linked man's understanding of authority and the creation as servant to the garden. Which means Jesus is saying that Jesus himself had that understanding of the creation, so that when he speaks, the servant has to obey. That is why you can have authority over the weather. Yes, that's why Jesus could rebuke the wind because he's rebuking in his mind, he's rebuking a servant. He's acknowledging that as his servant, and it has to obey. Imagine the Pharisee, the Centurion sat down there and grabbed that understanding from Yeshua, and all those other disciples stood down there and was not paying attention. That's just amazing to me. That's just amazing. The Centurion sat down there and understood it.

All right, coming back to the presentation. Your bodies are your servants. Exactly. Your bodies are your servants. In so much that the Bible says that God has given you authority over the works of His hands. In our mind, because we have never come up in a system, again, we come up with the idea of presidents, cabinets, Pentagon, parliaments, and so we don't use the terms authority and servant anymore. So when we're reading it, it says authority, but our mind does not connect that if it says authority, whatever you have authority over, that is your servant. And therefore, your body is a servant to the spirit. Paul says this in his letter to the Romans, did he not? Let's take a look. You see how cultural understanding impacts your understanding of the Bible, right? And understanding of the spiritual realm. Watch this. Paul also calls a b servant of Christ, but just saying Zen is not making it up. It is in the Bible. Romans, right? This is saying, "Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" If righteousness is the Spirit of God in you, then what he's saying is that your body is the servant of your spirit. You're seeing this for the first time. How many seeing this for the first time? Notice the chat section get quiet. Every way, epiphanies, light bulbs, light bulbs are going off. Yes. Right. Watch it here. It here in 6:19. "I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now yield your members," which is your bodies, "servants to righteousness and to holiness." See, if Jesus calls that great faith, that means that that was Jesus's understanding that gave him authority over the creation. So he's speaking to his body, or no, sorry, to to to to others to be healed. He's speaking to it as his servant, and therefore he does not have a mental struggle that that person is going to be healed. It's all the servants according to the hierarchy. Making sense so far? Type "sense."

All right, just about two slides again, and we finish. Is everybody okay with time here? We should have a couple slides. I shouldn't say two slides, but a couple slides again, a few slides, and we finish. Is everybody okay with time? Bring it. All right, okay, okay. All right, great. Nice. So just let's read off the screen. So Yahweh is the Elohim of the garden. Elohim of the garden means that He is the, is the authority of the garden. And there's an authority, as holy sister Lori said, you could see that He's the emperor of the garden. Therefore, but we're not going with emperor because there is a title in the Bible that is given to Yahweh that is translated Most High. And now that we've understood this, now you'll have clear understanding. But watch this. So let's just read off the screen. It says, "Yahweh." This is taken from Encyclopedia Britannica. "The meaning of the personal name of the Israelite God has been has has been variously interpreted. Many scholars believe that the most proper meaning may be 'He brings into existence.'" How many knew that this is actually in the Bible? In Isaiah 61, Isaiah 61 says, "The Spirit of the Lord God." But if you check "the Lord God," it does not have the capital. "The Lord" is not capitalized. "God" is capitalized. And what it translates is Adonai Yahweh, not Yahweh, but Yahweh. And what it means is Adonai, meaning the one above all creation, and Yahweh means the one who makes things to be as they are. There's a variation of Yahweh. So these scholars are spot on when they say that Yahweh also incorporates the understanding of "He brings into existence." Whatever exists, right? In first Samuel, God is known by the name Yahweh-Sabaoth, which He brings the hosts into existence. When that term is used, it's not referring to angels, abstract angels, as we were taught. It's actually referring to Israel. He is the Spirit of Israel. All right, the pictograph of the title Yahweh. Good information. I just put it in for so that you have some understanding. It comes from the, it comes from the Yahweh is a conjugation of the Hebrew word "haya" that actually means to breathe. The concept is breathing. The concrete understanding of that is breath. The abstract understanding of that is existence. Which means when we say Yahweh, and they say that He exists, the concrete understanding of that is breathing, which means existence is breathing. Here, the pictograph represents one who is looking at a great sight with his hands raised and taking a long, long breath. The pictograph represents one who is looking at a great sight with his hands raised and taking a long breath. That's Yahweh we're speaking about. Elohim. Elohim is actually defined as authority and power. Yahweh is the Elohim of the garden, the God of Israel in the Old Testament. A plural of majesty. Elohim is the God of Israel in the Old Testament. It is the plural of of majesty. The term Elohim, though sometimes used for other deities, such as the Moabite god Chemosh, in the Bible, the Sidonian goddess Asherah, and also for other majestic beings such as angels, kings, judges, the Old Testament, the Old Testament, and the Messiah, is usually employed in the Old Testament for the one and only God of Israel, whose personal name was revealed to Moses as Yahweh. Again, Yahweh here means Yahweh. Yahweh Elohim means Yahweh, the Elohim. The concept behind this is yoke, which means to be Elohim, you must be yoked to, watch your Elohim over, yoked spiritually, which is why you notice in the Bible it says that all things exist in Him. Which means Yeshua is yoked with Heaven and Earth, just like you are yoked with Heaven on Earth, right? The pictograph is a pictograph of an ox. An ox head also represents its strength. The L is a picture of a shepherd's staff and also represents the authority of the shepherd. Combined, the two pictographs means the strong authority, and can be anyone or anything of strong authority. The yoke is understood as a staff on the shoulder in order to harness their power for pulling loads, such as a wagon or plow. Hence, the two pictographs can also represent the ox and the yoke. Often two oxen were yoked together. An older, more experienced ox will be teamed up with a younger, less experienced ox. The older ox in the yoke is a strong authority who through the yoke teaches the younger ox how to function. In the context of the garden, your father is yoked to you, which is yoked to Yeshua because He's the strong authority. You are Elohim over Heaven and Earth, which means you, Heaven and Earth is you. You are yoked to Heaven and Earth, and you are the strong authority of Heaven and Earth. How many were hearing that like that for the first time? You are the strong authority over Heaven and Earth. Notice it says strong authority, which means that you have to compel it. It means that one must compel it, and the compelling does not mean that the creation is disobedient. What that compelling means is that you have to be single-minded. So technically, you must compel your mind to be single-minded so that the creation gets the right instructions. If I put it in my own words, the title that is given to God in the Bible outside of the garden. Now, why do we need to talk about this? We need to speak about this. Jesus says, "Take my yoke." Yes, Mom. Yes, ma'am. The reason why we need, we need to speak about this is that when man made the decision to come out of the garden, the world of the desert began. When the world of the desert began, Cain left Eden, and Abel was replaced by Seth. Which means the understanding of hierarchies of authority in Cain's world was very different from the understanding of the hierarchy of authority in Seth's world, which is Abel's lineage. Please pay attention to what I'm saying here. When the man fell out of the garden, he fell from the hierarchy of authority, and then Cain and Abel represented two perspectives. One was acquisition, the other was sacrificing the animal nature and calling upon the name and reproducing that name after his kind. Therefore, the order of royalty and authority in Cain's world is not the same order of authority in Abel's world. Every title of authority that we've covered so far in the European region with the kings, right down to the Lord and the Knights, we could safely say that those things were created in Cain's world, whilst the order of authority in Abel's world was always Yahweh over the creation. Now, because you didn't grow up in Cain's, in Abel's world, you are learning Abel's world. You are more familiar with the hierarchy of authority on the earth. So I made it a point to say the outside was no longer yoked to the, to Cain, definitely not to the Abel's lineage. Yes, true covenant. This is why you notice that when this is why I notice when Israel comes into covenant, God tells them, don't multiply their armies, don't multiply the gold, the silver, the chariots, because the covenant brought you back into Eden, and the nation of Israel was in the name, and the name is yoked with Heaven and Earth, which means once the king makes a decision, Heaven and Earth and his servants will fight in the war with him. How many were hearing for the first time? I wish these things were taught in church when I was, I was young. Away. Right, so I'm taking my time so that we don't. Yes, that's right. You see, yes, right. Outside of Israel, which is the garden nation, Yahweh yoked with Heaven and Earth. Cain developed his titles of authority, and when Cain developed his titles of authority, notice that his titles of authority was not yoked with Heaven on Earth. So what they did was use violence and fear and the threat of death to bind the subjects to them, to yoke the subjects to them via fear. Not, but so nobody in Cain's world worked with covenant, which was oath to oneself in the Seth lineage. In the garden, it works like that. Outside of the garden, contract. If it wasn't a contract, fear was used to bind you to the king. Yeah, all of that is in Cain's world. So it's the same dynamics that are being used now because of that. Jesus taught the disciples that they should not look like the Gentiles lording authority over others. Now you understand Jesus's context. So in Israel, because you function by yoking to Heaven on Earth, serving another was a demonstration of your great authority. Serving another was a demonstration of your great authority because if you're yoked to Heaven on Earth, you were supposed to cultivate and maintain Heaven and Earth by being fruitful, multiplying, spirit-filling it with life, and subduing it. Therefore, the Elohim of Heaven on Earth serves Heaven and Earth by giving it life. Right? Outside of Israel, outside of the garden, you lorded authority because persons didn't, as holy brother Norman put it, didn't consent to themselves to come into, to to to to to be in, or the creation definitely is not in union with you. You could forget that. And the people in the, in the, in the perimeter of your authority, they didn't come into consent. So they had to lord it over, and they used fear of death to lord it over them, which is why Jesus came and put death to death and resurrected to demonstrate that He now rules over death. The spirit still exists, and He's now ruling over it because what the Gentiles used to bind people to their will was fear of death. So if Jesus removes the fear of death, nobody has anything to be afraid of anymore, and therefore threatening someone is no longer a thing that you could use. Does that make sense? Everybody making sense, right? Nice. Great.

So because man fell outside of the garden, the first mention of the priesthood, which is in the order of Melchizedek, mentions the name that Melchizedek is in union with God, with Melchizedek, I gives reverence to God through this name, and Melchizedek identifies himself with this name. What it demonstrated in the scriptures was this title was the highest, and is the highest title that exists, and it is above all the authority of the Gentile, of the of Cain's world. This title places places Yahweh above at the highest authority, and that title is El Elyon, the Supreme One. El Elyon, the Supreme One. You could be, the title by itself is actually could also be called Elyon, meaning someone in a supreme position.

Yahweh was called the Supreme, which is Elon. Which is the title that is above all of the nations on the earth. Elon, watch this. Elon means well, elevation. There, as a title, it means the supreme or the Supreme One, the Most High, or the highest, the uppermost. Right, notice Elon because it yokes, just like Elohim. The pictograph is a picture of the of of the of the I, representing knowledge and experience. The L is a picture of a shepherd's staff or yoke. Combine these mean experience, the staff, the yoke. A staff is lifted over the shoulder, is attached to the oxen for performing work. So we see here that Elon is the equivalent of what is Elohim in the garden. Do you know that this right here is the order of authority in the spiritual realm in the scriptures? The spiritual hierarchy is Elon, who is the Father, who is called Yahweh in the garden. In the garden, is called Yahweh. Outside of the garden, in Kingwood, is called Elon. The Father reproduces the Son. The Son, therefore, the Son is the servant of the Father. Elon, the Son, reproduces Heaven and Earth, which means he is the Elohim of Heaven and Earth. And Heaven and Earth is the servant of the Son, as is mentioned in Psalm 119. Every other title on the earth is not even directly under you as a priest. They are under the, they are actually under the creation, which means the whole of Heaven on Earth is your servant, and they are under your authority as well as servants. Which is why the Bible says in Romans that the kingdoms of this world have now become the kingdoms of Our Lord. And Satan, darkness, and demons is actually placed at the lowest side of the spectrum. Before the cross, darkness, Satan, and devils were in union with these right here. So ruling over darkness meant ruling over these kings. Now that these things belong to Yeshua, we could have persons influenced by darkness, but we could also have persons that function as Sons ruling here. So I made sure and I put the darkness at the bottom just so that we accommodate that. But this is the order of the authority. This is actually found in the scriptures in in Psalms 82:6 that says, "I have said, you are Elohim, and all of you are children of El." Elon meaning you are above Heaven and Earth and above all kings and princes on the earth. This is why High Priests, or the priesthood in the days of Abraham, could wipe out a nation because that that that nation is below their authority. And therefore, speaking to that nation or making a decision is is to their servants. 100% holy sister, 100%. The creation needs their leader. This is why these priests could go down and fire could fall from Heaven because Heaven and Earth is the servant of the priest and destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Because two things are highlighted here: number one, Heaven and Earth are the servants of the priesthood, and number two, for Heaven and Earth to destroy the the nation, it means that the nation has to be under the authority of Heaven and Earth. And we see this because those who are in the world of Cain, Cain's mindset, they use Heaven and Earth as as authority, astrology, looking for signs, using symbols. What they're doing is that they are demonstrating that Heaven and Earth is their Elohim, and they are the servants of Heaven and Earth. Is this making sense, everybody? Responding, is this making sense? Which means holy ones. And this is in your Bible, by the way. Look at this. Let me show you this right here. Let's go back to here. This is Ephesians. Holy sister Clara mentioned this. We covered this in one of the, in one of the, um, role-playing sessions, reading the Bible through Elohim, through through Yeshua, in the person of Yeshua. Look at this right here. Many have misinterpreted the scripture. Watch this. "Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God who created all things by Jesus Christ." So Jesus Christ here is now the Elon of Heaven and Earth, or the Elohim of Heaven and Earth. And you in Christ is that. Watch what it says. "For the expansion is to the intent," which means with the intention, "that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God." Many people have read "heavenly places" and they they have attributed it to devils in in the in the heavens. This is not the context of that in the Bible. That's a Western idea that is based on the abstract perspective of Satan and demons and foreign angels. A heavenly place in the Bible is the same thing as seeing a heavenly rule, which means the principalities and powers are kings and emperors and princes and prime ministers and presidents who are who have who are in heavenly rules, meaning that they are in a position of authority. Since authority was framed in the inside of the garden, and the garden is heaven, anybody who is in authority is in a heavenly place or in a heavenly role. And you, as the priest in the person of Yeshua, is supposed to be providing wisdom to the principalities and powers, the prime ministers and the presidents of the kings that are in heavenly rules on the earth. Which means this brings you right back evidence that in Christ, you are the Elohim of all of these world leaders. How many have seen that for the first time right there? Is he making it [Laughter] up? Right. So in Christ, the intention that Yeshua is the Elohim, and you and Yeshua are the priests, and therefore Elohim over the the kings of the earth as well, is so that you can give them wisdom. Which means that the king is supposed to be looking at the believers on Christ to give them wisdom to guide the nations. Then it says, "according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord," which is our Yahweh, our Elohim as well. This is the eternal purpose of the priesthood. You know, in whom whom we have boldness and confidence and access with confidence by the faith of him. Which means in Yeshua, we have the boldness to approach the Father, who is our Elohim, to approach the Father, to speak to the Father. But we also have boldness and confidence over Heaven and Earth, first, and under Heaven and Earth, and the nation, and the leaders of the nations. Praise sister. That is exactly why Peter says, "When you speak, speak as the oracles of Elohim." Meaning that when you're speaking to these leaders, or speaking to leaders, position, emperors, kings, whoever they are, you are speaking in the position of Yeshua, and therefore you have authority over that. Under them is authority over darkness. And if they are in darkness, then your decrees will fill them, and they will follow, or you can make judgments to remove them from there. Notice that you are way above everything in this creation. So in in in other words, we could say there's Elon the Father, Elon the Son. Then Elon the Son is ruler, ruler over Heaven and Earth. And then you have a ruler over rulership over all the nations, which is why the the angel in in Revelation says, "The kingdoms of this Earth are now the kingdoms of our Lord." And you have rulership over darkness, the Satan, demons. That means that you have rulership over sicknesses as well, diseases, infirmities, death. And that holy ones, brings us to the end of our session tonight. Again, I am 40 minutes over the time. Last time was 45 minutes. I knocked off 6 minutes tonight. I'm making progress. I am making progress. I was going to make the presentation a little shorter, but um, I didn't want to rob you of these of connecting these things so that you can understand with more clarity what you're looking at. Now, how do you know? How do you know? Sorry, not how you, you know why is this necessary? Because if you come into your covenant without this understanding, your covenant is going to be very limited because of your Western perspectives imposing to the covenant and not understanding the level of authority that that you're working on, which is a vocation. It's an employment. That's why you see priests go around to Sodom and Gomorrah and they ain't asking you a question. You, they blinding you. If you, what you're trying to do, blindness, take that prophet. The prophet, the prophet Elisha blinds the Syrian army. Why? Because these guys understand where they are on the hierarchy of authority. And no king could come and threaten me because all it requires, because I have the, I am in a position now. I want you to take note of the fact and write this down. Your level of authority is as strong as the law of gravity. Write that down. If the prophets refer to the laws of physics as covenant, then we could say that a covenant is also a law of physics. And therefore, your covenant in Christ is your law of physics, and the authority that that gives you because of the authority that you have come into with Elon. Notice that if Yeshua is the is, um, is the High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek, that means that Yeshua acknowledges the Father as Elon, and also acknowledges himself as Elon. And he is actually living according to this construct of authority, which is why he does not question when he gives a command. Because anything under this, anything under him, are his servants. Whereas in society, you think that you could rebel. The creation cannot rebel against its Elohim. It can only follow its Elohim. So your authority has equal force to the law of gravity. When have you seen the law of gravity not work? Never. If when gravity stops working, then you can question whether your authority is working or not. And I trust that tonight, understanding that because of your democratic posture, and you you make the decision to stop living from that and start. One of the things in particular I encourage you to do as an exercise is to start treating what God says as your law. Jesus says it. He says, "Keep my commandments," which means keep what he says as law. What does Jesus mean? Let's go back to the first mention of commandments in the Bible. The first mention of commandments parallels the commandments with charge, statutes, and laws. Which means what God says, treat it as your law. Let go the democratic perspective that you have a voice. Start functioning in your covenant as what God says is a law and obey that law. And the creation, your posture will change, and the creation is no longer going to function as do it can disobey you. You have to invest authority to reap authority. Sorry, you have to invest into submission of authority to reap obedience to authority. That's how the, that's how the garden works. You have to submit to authority to be able to have the to to be able to have obedience to your authority. Have anybody seen anyone here? Oh, let me ask you this question. Do you think that anybody who does not understand authority can have authority over others? Someone who's never submitted to authority having authority over others? Never. Why? Because when you submit to authority, you understand it. When you understand it, then you can have the expectation of it for the person who has never submitted to authority, they are usually oppressors. And authority does not have to open his mouth and emphasize or validate his authority. His investment into the creation via respect and humility causes the creation to reciprocate that same respect and humanity to him. Well said, holy sister Monica, and holy brother Norman. You cannot have authority in creation if you are not submitting to authority. And once you begin to sow author, um, submission to authority, you will reap obedience to your authority. This is how the spiritual realm works. So your concrete application tonight is this, apart from your assignment, of course. Now, over 45 minutes, yeah, bro. Yo, your assignment tonight is, start treating God's word as statutes. Go and research what statutes are. This is part of your assignment. Go and research what our charges, what a statute is, what a law is, and then you'll understand Jesus's understanding of what commandments are. This is not commandments as an external law imposing force against you. A commandment here is your commitment to this, like a law of physics. Research those words. And what your practical application, apart from the summary, which is assignment five, by the way, yeah, what your practical assignment is, apart from arising, is to begin to treat the promises of God as your law. Stop thinking that you have the right of an opinion in front of your Elohim. Obey the King. Treat the promise as a rule. Not, sorry, not as a rule in the context of what we spoke about earlier on. I mean, I mean as a law that you obey, as a law of physics, as as a principle of function. And that you, I want, let me frame it like this. Treat the promises of God as though you do not have the ability to have an opinion outside of it. Commit to the covenant of God in your heart, to the promises of God in your heart. Make that in your heart that you are you are going to live according to the promises of God as your as your command, as your statutes, as your law, as your commandments. And start treating the promises of God as though it is unconscionable. Everybody know what the word unconscionable means? Just let me just let me just pull up a meaning there just so that nobody is left, um, nobody is left confused. Treat, treat as though it is unconscionable, meaning it is not right or reasonable. It is unreasonably excessive. It is unwarranted, immoral to have an opinion in front of the promises of God. And if, and when you do that, when you do that, understand the hierarchy that you're in and start speaking motivated by those promises to the creation, and you will always see your servants respond. It is unthinkable. Exactly. I like that, brother. Holy brother, give you a fiery heart for that one. Unthinkable. I like that also, holy sister Clara. Prisoner of Christ Yeshua, you have no, you are servant to that servant to him. And when you, now that we understand this, now we can start to talk about covenant, and that would be our wrap-up session here tonight. All right, so let me just put this on your screen. That's your homework. Your assignment summary. Why is this red on your screen? So we will start.
