ESC Shabbat Service: 5 Pillars: Community Foundations - Pastor Huey Brown

And, yes, I understand the Tanakh, the old covenant, and the new covenant. Yeah. I know there's two there's I know there's some I know there's 66 books in the Bible. Yeah. I know these things, but if you take and set that aside for a moment and think, wow, this whole book from the beginning to the end is him. He is the word, and this is his book, and this is a revelation. It's all about who he is. And if you start to have that mentality in your mind, it starts to open up things that you didn't see before.

God is doing less with his spirit or with his gifts or with his power in this day than he did in the in the in the book of Acts day. God is not doing anything less. And then really, when you think about that, like like some it's like the gift, something passed away, why would that doesn't even really make sense because in the last days, it's like all these things are are are building up. All of this is happening, and you it would be like he he's like, okay. I'm gonna make it really bad in the end, and I'm also gonna add an extra I'm gonna take some things away to make it even harder. That's not God, my friends. [02:05:51] (36 seconds)  #HolySpiritIsActive

There's a difference when you're willing to dig in deeper. You're willing to take time to look out look up all the nuts and bolts. Look up all the words. What do they mean? What's what break it down. I mean, study is a whole different level. And I wanna encourage you to be the people who study the word of God. Study. Search it out. You know, I like a little book that R. A. Torrey wrote years ago, like a hundred years ago. But it's called How to Study the Bible. I love that little book. I remember many times using some of the different examples from that book [01:40:12] (32 seconds)  #StudyTheBible

You know, out of all that struggle and pain, it's hard when you go through things, whatever change, whatever hurts, whatever battles. When you come out, you know, you're you're dinged up, you're beat, your blood you got blood, sweat, and tears, but but you learn and you grow. And we grew. And we grew into five pillars, and we grew into the defining statement of who we are now. And all those things came into being as they are today, and we added the prophetic intercession, and we added the the discipleship. And now a Yeshua centered, spirit filled, messianic, Jewish rooted community. [02:04:20] (40 seconds)  #FivePillarsCommunity

and it and it's alive, and it's bur and it's a burning thing in there. And and and as he was reading that passage and breaking and, you know, deep calls onto deep, the Bible says. The the deep things in God call to the deep things in you. And if you want the deep things of God, you got to got to see when he's trying to draw them things out. He's trying to pull them out. And and I'm telling you, if there's a Bible verse in every I mean, for quite a few years, I would read I would read [01:23:32] (27 seconds)  #DeepCallsToDeep

And you know what? I can tell some things about you if I look at your Bible. I mean, I've looked at people's Bibles before, I've noticed, like, one section looks kind of worn, like they must read that a lot. And there's other sections that look so crisp and clean and nice. It's like they did they ever, like I mean, have they ever heard of Ezra or have they ever like, what's going on here? I mean, it's not a judgment thing, but the the honesty in your heart as believers here at El Shaddai, we love the whole word and we know that the whole word is about him.

than likely, almost nobody that in that church I was going to knew anything about that. I'm reading the Bible, and I'm asking God, and nothing happened the first night. You know, thought the wind was gonna blow. I thought, you know, my mouth would start shaking. Something would happen. But, you know, I asked God by faith, just like I asked him to forgive me of my sins and to and, you know, and and all those things. And by faith, I said, Lord, fill me with the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues. And, you know, the next night, I I felt something stirring in my heart, but I had to open my mouth. I had to let it out. And I wanna encourage you today, let it out. Let all that God has in you out, and allow the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to be you allowing to be used to use you. [02:10:17] (41 seconds)  #PropheticIntercession

You know, it's like there's five pillars, and we love all that God has and all that God does and all that is part of who we are here. And it's something when you're when you embrace all these things and you're desiring all these things, they become a part of you. And I was just thinking even this morning when I got up out of bed, but while I was walking to the bathroom, first thing, I heard I heard this just go through my heart very quickly. And and just from [01:20:00] (35 seconds)  #TakeNotesRelentlessly
