Sermon Notes

The beginning of this message deals with the fourth point on the Stature of Truth about the Palm Tree, which is the Victory of the Father’s Unbegotten Resurrection Life. The Apostle John saw the saints who wear White Robes in Heaven waving palms, praising the Father for His Unbegotten Resurrection Life that overcomes death. Learn More

(Palm Sunday) The Gospel of John, chapter twelve, says that palm branches were strewn upon the pathway as Jesus entered into Jerusalem. The date palm tree is a picture of the Crucified Christ and the Resurrected Christ. The bottom portion of the natural palm tree has no beauty. The roots underground and the rough roots on the outside of trunk represent the invisible and visible sufferings of the Crucified Christ. The top portion of the palm tree has six levels of branches, depicting the humility and exaltation of the Resurrected Christ. The dates in the top of the tree represent the fruitfulness of spiritual maturity. Learn More

This message explains the significance of the two Hebrew words for w o rd. Aw-mar pertains to God’s Word that we understand. Daw-bar relates to God’s Word that we do not understand. First John 2:5 says, “But whoso keepeth his word [daw-bar], in him verily is the love of God perfected:…” We do not get God’s Love by obeying Word we understand. His Love comes from His Daw-bar Word that we keep in our heart.

The text of this message is taken from Exodus, chapter forty, which shows the order in which God commanded Moses to place the furniture in the first Tabernacle. The chapter also shows the origin of the Star of David, which is the Seal of the Bridal Nation of Israel. The LORD established His Headship by having Moses put the Ark of the Testimony in place first, on the west side. Learn More

(Ministerial Convention) This message continues to deal with the second class of desire, the shook desire. The aw-vaw desire longs to lift up the LORD’s Name, and the shook desire longs for the Bridegroom and Bride Relationship. The Bride goes forth into the streets with an overflow of Light. In the Song of Solomon 7:1,10, the Bride got her thinking in the correct order. She said, “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.” Psalm 65:9-11 speaks of the invisble River of God that waters or overflows (shook) the entire Earth.

(Ministerial Convention) God created us with a aw-vaw desire that is like a candle. When this desire is sanctified and joined to the LORD’s Desire, we desire to lift up His Name in praise and worship. In addition to the aw-vaw desire, the LORD has created us with a desire to lift His Name up in the streets. This desire is identified by the Hebrew root word shook. In the Song of Solomon, chapter two, the Espoused Bridegroom asked His Espoused Bride to come away with Him to Mount Bether, the place of separation, so that she could know new heights of His Stature.

(Ministerial Convention) God intended that Israel, as His Bride, with Solomon as King, should be the hub of the nations, but Solomon, as an example of one who exerted his own desires, failed to reach the place God had purposed for him. Therefore, the Nation of Israel did not become the hub of all the nations of the world. In his lifetime, Solomon tried everything under the sun. When he was old, his heart was turned to worship the idols of his heathen wives, so he missed the best God had for him. Learn More

(Ministerial Convention) God created man with an aw-vaw desire to lift up His Name. When this desire defected from God and became corrupted, it became known as lust. Numbers 11:4-34; Psalm 106:9-15; and First Corinthians 10:1-7 show the lust side of desire.

(Ministerial Convention) Psalm 45 is a song about the Bridegroom and His Bride. Verses ten and eleven talk about the Wedding and the Queen. God calls the Bride His Daughter and tells her four things to do to join her desire to His Desire. She is to hearken; to consider; incline her ear; and forget her own people and her father’s house.

(Ministerial Convention) Genesis 2:6,7. explains how God created man, in the beginning. Adam or Aw-dawm (as the name is pronounced in Hebrew) was made from the dust of the ground. Aw-dawm, whose name means to show blood in the face, to be red or rosy, had visible flesh and blood. Genesis 2:21-25 says that God put Adam to sleep and took a rib from him and, then, closed up the flesh instead, thereof.

(Houston Texas) This message answers the following three questions: (1) In Daniel 3:5, when the King Nebuchadnezzar asked them to bow down to his image when the music was played, a dulcimer was mentioned. Why, then, was the dulcimer not mentioned again in verse six, as being one of the instruments that actually were played? (2) When Jesus was in the midst of the fire with the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, did He take on a Body? (3) What is the Shepherdess Robe? How can we put it on? Learn More

This message shows what happens when we put our guilt on Jesus, our Judge. We receive His Name. We receive joy or jubilee. We experience a joining. Then, when we have this joining with Jesus, the Judge, He begins to show us the root or cause of sin. We repent of the effect of sin at the Brazen Altar, in the Courtyard. We must deal with the root or cause of sin at the Mercy Seat of Judgment. Learn More

Sin produces guilt. When we sin, we have two choices. We either put our guilt on the Creator and let Him save us, or we put it on the creature. This lesson shows the downward stairway we take when our Big “I” judge takes over and puts our guilt on creatures — either on ourself or on others. First, we are angry with ourself. Then, we punish ourself. Learn More
