Episode: “Our Authority in Messiah”

Yeshua came as the “last Adam” to free humanity from the curse of the “first Adam.” Joshua and Caleb examine the Believer’s authority in Messiah and how Believers can live a life free from bondage and sin. Yeshua’s sacrifice was sufficient to purchase our salvation and empower us for victory on Earth.

Caption transcript for “Our Authority in Messiah”

00:10 ♪♪♪ David Hart: We are so glad you've joined us today on
00:12 "Our Jewish Roots."
00:13 Our program today is a little intense.
00:16 Stay with us because there's a lot of content with you guys.
00:20 We welcome you today.
00:22 Kirsten Hart: And you've--I'm just gonna say,
00:23 you've aired this before.
00:24 This has been on--you have a social media program,
00:26 "Bearded Bible Brothers."
00:28 No idea where you got that title from.
00:29 David: Yeah, I don't get it.
00:31 Kirsten: But this is--we're talking about Adam.
00:33 But something we don't really hear in the church, like,
00:35 first Adam, last Adam.
00:36 Last Adam?
00:38 Joshua Colson: Yes, so when Yeshua, the great teacher,
00:40 was flying off, right, and he leaned down and he said
00:43 the last thing he said: "Go out, cast out devils,
00:46 heal people in my name, tell them what I did."
00:49 He made us the hall monitors on earth,
00:51 by giving us his authority.
00:53 It's our authority to go out there and to make these things
00:55 happen, and he expects us to exercise that.
00:57 Caleb Colson: That's right.
00:59 So what you're about to see is the teaching we did
01:00 on the last Adam.
01:02 Who are you in Messiah and how do you gain his authority?
01:05 You're not gonna wanna miss this.
01:08 Joshua: Yes, hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
01:11 Caleb: And I'm Caleb. Joshua: We're brothers.
01:13 Caleb: And today we would like to talk to you
01:14 about the last Adam.
01:16 Joshua: Wait a minute, last Adam?
01:18 That sounds like a wicked cool movie.
01:21 "In a world where the first Adam failed,
01:24 can the last Adam prevail?"
01:27 Caleb: That would be completely awesome.
01:30 But it's also scriptural.
01:31 In the Bible, 1 Corinthians 15:45: "So it is written:
01:35 'The first Adam became a living being';
01:37 the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
01:39 The first man was of the dust of the earth;
01:42 the second man is of heaven.
01:43 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and
01:47 as is the heavenly man, so are those who are of heaven.
01:50 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so
01:54 shall we bear the image of the heavenly man."
01:57 Joshua: But if we were--if we were here first and God made it
02:00 for us, I know that Adam and Eve sinned but how did that
02:03 translate to us not, you know, it being our fault?
02:07 Caleb: Well, it's because with Adam and Eve, they were
02:10 told not to eat of the fruit of the garden, Eve was deceived
02:13 and ate the fruit.
02:15 Adam knew what it was. He did it willingly.
02:17 Sin came through the male genetic side.
02:19 You know sin comes through the male seed,
02:21 not through the woman's egg.
02:23 Obviously, when Mary had Jesus, sin did not pass on to Yeshua.
02:26 It came through the male side.
02:29 And if Eve had just sinned, Adam could have been the kinsman
02:32 redeemer and saved Eve and brought her back to the Father.
02:36 Joshua: You're using big words again.
02:38 I'm sorry, guys, he takes the SAT practice test,
02:39 like, every weekend.
02:41 What on earth is a kinsman redeemer?
02:43 Is that like something from a Emily Bronte book?
02:44 Caleb: It's like you're reading the story of Ruth and Boaz.
02:46 A kinsman redeemer would save someone of their blood relative
02:49 from harm, a distant relative they would claim a piece of
02:51 property that they were next in line for.
02:54 While we were related to Messiah, he became
02:57 our kinsman redeemer for us.
02:59 We are his children.
03:01 And he sacrificed himself, he died, he came as the last Adam.
03:06 But when he was resurrected, he became the second man, a new man
03:10 that we can associate with but still in human form.
03:14 He kept the holes in his hands and in his feet and the hole in
03:17 his side so he could rule on earth someday as an Adam.
03:21 It's amazing.
03:23 Joshua: Now he identified with us and we know this.
03:25 If you know the story of Yeshua, you know what he did for us.
03:28 In 1 Peter 2:24, it says: "He himself bore our sins in his
03:33 body on the tree, that we might die to sins and live for
03:35 righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."
03:39 This is all physical terminology.
03:40 These were physical things that Jesus went through.
03:42 Caleb: That was amazing.
03:44 Joshua: We face so many things in life that we feel that
03:46 God in the sky is ambivalent towards.
03:50 He's out there ruling the big things, but he doesn't
03:52 understand how we feel.
03:54 Yet, the Bible goes on and on and on and tells about how
03:56 Yeshua faced every single situation, every single
04:00 temptation, every pain, every joy, that you've been through.
04:03 The idea that Yeshua does not identify with what you're
04:08 feeling or going through is a lie from the enemy.
04:10 That he wants you to believe because, right here,
04:12 it says he did.
04:14 Caleb: That's right, and in 1 Corinthians 15,
04:17 we have that hope for the future that we're gonna be like
04:19 the second man one day.
04:21 We're gonna receive that glorified body that Yeshua
04:23 received when he was resurrected, and when we do,
04:26 death, hell and the grave, completely destroyed.
04:29 He's already redeemed us from that fear of death.
04:32 But the final victory comes with the Rapture, with that dominion
04:37 taking over the earth, when Yeshua rules
04:39 and reigns for 1000 years.
04:41 Joshua: Keep in mind that original sin, that deception
04:43 that hit Eve, that she gave into, and that willing choice
04:46 that Adam made.
04:48 That happened because their focus was in the wrong place.
04:50 They allowed it to get shifted.
04:52 Don't let the enemy rob you by shifting your focus onto
04:54 yourself, onto self-pity, onto your situation and make you
04:57 think you're alone and Yeshua had no idea or doesn't care or
05:01 it's something you just have to overcome.
05:04 He identifies with you, he knows where you've been and where
05:06 you're going, and he has made a way for you to not only succeed
05:10 but to overcome.
05:12 Caleb: So thanks for joining us. You have a hope for a future.
05:15 Stick with us and watch us next time.
05:17 Joshua: In that cool movie, "The Last Adam."
05:21 I wonder what they eat that time.
05:22 Like, a watermelon, they're like, "Oh, this is naughty.
05:25 I need seedless."
05:27 It's not of God. Things have seeds.
05:29 I don't know--science.
05:31 Caleb: I lost you there, Josh. Joshua: Probably.
05:34 Caleb: Once we understand Yeshua's role as the last Adam,
05:39 we can step into our inherited roles as being his
05:42 representatives on earth and taking back dominion from Satan.
05:46 And we have to hold that dominion until Messiah returns.
05:49 This next teaching is called "Bondage Versus Dominion"
05:52 and it tells you what you need to do to be Yeshua's
05:55 representative on earth.
06:02 Caleb: Josh, what are you doing? Joshua: Spinning Fidgie.
06:03 Joshua: It's what we do.
06:05 Caleb: Let me do that. Hello, Fidgie.
06:07 There we go. I'm Caleb.
06:10 Joshua: I'm Joshua. How are you today, hm?
06:13 You wearing these? Sure hope not.
06:15 Caleb: Let me propose to you that in the spirit world, you
06:17 are either in bondage or you're holding dominion.
06:22 Joshua: Gah, how do you always get the key?
06:23 Caleb: See, that seems to be the way things work, the way
06:25 that God created things.
06:27 Now, he intended for us, for man, to have dominion.
06:30 He gave it to us in Genesis 1.
06:33 He made the earth, all the animals and everything, all
06:35 creation, and we had dominion over it.
06:37 We took care of it.
06:39 Joshua: Psalms 8:4 through 6, it says: "What is man that You
06:41 are mindful of him.
06:42 You have made him to have dominion over
06:44 the works of Your hands."
06:46 Oh, that, actually, is a nice metaphor, good job.
06:49 Caleb: Well, Adam had dominion but
06:52 he surrendered it to Satan.
06:53 He took--Satan took it and he became the god of this world
06:56 when he had that dominion.
06:58 And that's a scary thing.
06:59 How do we know that Satan took that dominion?
07:01 Let's look in the Bible.
07:03 When Satan came to Jesus in the wilderness and he was fasting
07:06 and he was praying and Satan said, "All this authority I will
07:11 give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me,
07:16 and I give it to whomever I wish."
07:18 Satan wanted Jesus to bow down and worship him, and he would
07:21 give him all that dominion of the earth back, but Yeshua
07:25 didn't do that, did he?
07:26 Yeshua died to take dominion and then to give it to us.
07:30 Joshua: I love that, you face an obstacle
07:32 or a problem in life and you always
07:34 try to face it head on, but Yeshua didn't do that.
07:37 He didn't play by the devil's rules.
07:39 That's what the devil tries to get
07:40 you caught up in, in bondage.
07:42 When you're in bondage, he gets you to try to play through these
07:44 rules, just keep pulling on those handcuffs.
07:46 But Yeshua said, "No."
07:48 He said, "Here's how I'm gonna fix it.
07:49 I'm gonna lay down my life. I'm gonna pay the price.
07:51 Adam, my son, he did this? Okay, well, let me fix it then.
07:55 I will pay the penalty for him and I will take dominion back
07:58 and I'm gonna give it to 'em."
08:00 Caleb: That's right, and so then when Yeshua,
08:02 he went up to heaven, to prepare a place
08:04 for us, he says, "Now you have my power, you have my authority,
08:07 you have my dominion in my name."
08:09 He literally gave us power of attorney on earth to be those
08:11 people who can take dominion in his name, but if we don't
08:16 believe that, if we don't exert his authority and dominion on
08:20 this earth, Satan will just run rampant over our lives.
08:23 It's up to us to halt Satan in his tracks.
08:26 So if we see that there's something wrong going on in our
08:29 earth, in the family, in our lives and our finances,
08:33 and we're, "God, help us please.
08:34 Why don't you save us?"
08:36 He's saying, "I already gave you everything you need.
08:38 I gave you dominion. Just exert your authority."
08:41 Joshua: Remember, don't give the key away.
08:43 Even if he's your brother. It's just a terrible idea.
08:46 Use the authority you have.
08:48 Stop begging for something that you already have.
08:51 We love you guys, we want you to succeed.
08:53 So does the Father, and that's why he paid the price for you.
08:55 Caleb: That's right, and the Bible says in James:
08:57 "Submit yourself therefore to God.
08:59 Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
09:02 Isn't that like God?
09:03 To obtain dominion, you must submit to him.
09:06 To be the greatest, you must first be the least.
09:08 To be the master, you must be the servant,
09:10 and to live you must die.
09:12 Joshua: I'm totally hacking your Amazon
09:14 so you can't order stuff anymore.
09:16 Caleb: Can you break it?
09:18 Joshua: I don't know if I can break it.
09:19 It's breaking me. I'm old.
09:20 Caleb: I thought he was strong. Look at his muscles there.
09:22 Joshua: Oh, we're gonna play that game.
09:24 The colonials were so much smarter than me.
09:26 They forged this stuff.
09:29 Kirsten: As a parent, I try to be fair to my kids.
09:32 I don't wanna put anything unnecessary on them.
09:36 But here's my little beef. So, Adam is the one that sinned.
09:41 How many thousands of generations have gone by
09:45 since Adam and that's still on us, like, we still have to carry
09:49 his weight of sin?
09:51 Caleb: We're still held accountable.
09:53 Kirsten: Seems a little unfair.
09:54 Caleb: Because this is all about the laws of nature that
09:56 God put into existence on the earth.
09:58 He gave Adam dominion over everything so Adam was basically
10:00 the king over all.
10:02 All authority over heaven and earth, so when Adam messed up,
10:05 it traveled through the blood line.
10:07 We have that polluted blood and we're born with a sinful nature.
10:10 So now it's up to us with that knowledge to step into the
10:14 freedom and deliverance from those curses that God doesn't
10:17 want us to be bound to.
10:19 Joshua: So that responsibility means we can't
10:21 just stay luke-warm.
10:22 We have to walk in God's authority in this life because
10:25 we're held responsible whether we do it or not.
10:27 Hosea 4:6 says: "My people are destroyed
10:30 for a lack of knowledge."
10:32 You can plead ignorant all day long, but you're still gonna be
10:35 taken advantage of by the enemy and you're still held
10:36 responsible by God because he's given you that authority and
10:39 he's paid that price for you to stand in that knowledge
10:42 and to be effective.
10:44 Caleb: Yeah, we're all born guilty with that sin nature.
10:46 And it's--yeah, something that Adam did, it's hard.
10:50 Kirsten: It's always--and I am jumping in.
10:51 That is so hard.
10:53 The "born with sin nature" is hard because
10:54 you've held your babies.
10:57 I mean, when you look at your 2-week-old baby and go,
10:59 "That sin nature baby of mine."
11:01 But I'm saying it's a hard thing to wrap our minds around.
11:04 Caleb: But thank you, Yeshua.
11:06 He made a way by coming outside of that sin nature to deliver us
11:09 from that sin nature and to give us power and authority.
11:12 And one ways that he equips us with more power
11:16 and authority is through fasting.
11:17 Topic most people don't wanna hear about, but we're gonna go
11:19 into that right now.
11:23 Joshua: Huahh. Hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
11:25 Caleb: And I'm Caleb. Joshua: And we're brothers.
11:26 Caleb: We are.
11:28 Joshua: Brother, let me ask you something.
11:29 Caleb: Yes, sir.
11:30 Joshua: Why is there a head of cabbage next to Fidgie?
11:32 Caleb: I am at the tail end of my detox.
11:34 You know, I've been cleansing my body out.
11:36 Been eating this, drinking this gunk
11:38 and taking these supplements.
11:39 Joshua: Brother? Caleb: Yes?
11:41 Joshua: How long have you been doing
11:42 all this wonderful healthy stuff?
11:43 Caleb: A whole month. Agonizing.
11:45 Joshua: A whole month, goodness gracious,
11:46 that's super-good.
11:48 Caleb: Thank you.
11:50 Joshua: I've been doing it for 21 years.
11:52 Very close to a month, but keep going, you'll get there.
11:56 Caleb: You had to steal my thunder.
11:57 Joshua: I didn't steal your thunder, you gave it away.
12:00 Wanna know why he's doing this, guys?
12:03 Caleb: Why, why? Why is this?
12:04 Joshua: You're doing this because you're fasting from bad
12:06 stuff to get a good result.
12:09 Caleb: That's true, I feel that fasting in one of the most
12:11 untalked about things in the Bible.
12:14 People don't wanna hear about it,
12:15 so we're gonna take it on today.
12:17 Joshua: There's a reason nobody wants to hear about it.
12:18 None of you wanna fast.
12:19 I'm gonna be honest with you: I hate fasting, myself.
12:22 Caleb: Yeshua in the book of Matthew, he says,
12:25 "When you fast, do this."
12:28 He didn't say, "If you fast"; he said, "When you fast."
12:30 So it's kind of like you're not given an option.
12:32 You need to fast.
12:34 Joshua: When is just not my favorite word anymore.
12:37 I like the word "If" so much better.
12:38 Guys, fasting isn't just about removing a food from your diet.
12:42 Actually, the principle of fasting is to abstain from
12:45 anything that could have control over you other than the Father
12:48 or could be in the way of you getting to where you need to be.
12:52 Caleb: That's right, in Isaiah 58:3 through 7,
12:54 we hear some benefits of fasting, why are we doing this?
12:58 He explains that you don't fast, obviously, to seek your own
13:01 pleasure but to humble yourself, to break free from bondages,
13:04 addictions, yokes in your life, to turn around and bless others,
13:09 to change your heart, basically.
13:11 And it's also to seek the Lord, to get the answers you need,
13:14 to break free and get that spiritual authority
13:17 from the enemy.
13:19 And we see many times in the Bible, people fasted.
13:21 Daniel fasted for 3 weeks.
13:22 Joshua: Moses fasted for 40 days.
13:24 Caleb: Yeah, on top of the mountain before
13:26 he got the ten commandments.
13:27 Joshua: Jesus, Yeshua, he fasted.
13:29 Come on, guys, there's no better example if he did it.
13:31 Caleb: Very interesting, though, in Matthew 17:14
13:35 through 21, the disciples tried to cast a demon out of a boy.
13:40 They couldn't do it.
13:41 Yeshua succeeded and he said to them, "This kind of spirit only
13:45 goes out by prayer and fasting."
13:48 Joshua: Sometimes it's important to deny ourselves
13:51 those things that the flesh wants.
13:53 I started traveling internationally when I was
13:55 17 years old and on many of my first several trips I felt
13:58 the Father moving me to fast different things.
14:01 And I do remember one time that I fasted not only 40 days on a
14:04 Daniel fast, which is very hard for me to do.
14:07 I'm big, I like to eat.
14:09 But I also fasted movies, I've fasted music that was secular.
14:13 I've fasted media.
14:15 Anything that was going to be a distraction between me and
14:17 seeking God's face for that trip, I cut out of my life.
14:20 And I saw a significant improvement in my focus and my
14:23 intimacy in that time.
14:24 Caleb: That's true, it doesn't have to be about food.
14:26 Anything that separates you from the Father, you take it away so
14:29 you can hear more clearly from the Father.
14:31 I know in America today, we've kind of
14:33 lost our dependency on God.
14:36 We think we're self-sufficient.
14:37 We have good pay, a house, family.
14:40 We can worship freely.
14:42 We're not worried about invaders coming in and blowing us up.
14:44 But in other countries, where Christians are persecuted, they
14:48 have to seek the Lord, you find them fasting,
14:51 people who don't even have food in those countries,
14:54 and they see moves of God.
14:56 They see great revivals in places like Iran, China,
15:00 underground churches, and places in Africa.
15:03 We're not seeing it here.
15:04 Joshua: Well, you see, guys, fasting has both spiritual
15:07 and physical benefits.
15:08 In the physical world, you probably heard it today.
15:11 It's things like intermittent fasting.
15:12 We've found that by fasting for certain periods of time, it
15:14 actually helps the body recoup, recover, breaks dependencies.
15:17 If you'll guys have a problem with sugar, for instance,
15:19 which is a crazy addiction for the body.
15:21 Breaking or fasting from that, from a period of time, sets you
15:23 free from that addiction.
15:25 Same thing, spiritually, guys.
15:27 When we set ourselves free from the things that have held us in
15:29 bondage, whether it's as simple as our phone 24 hours a day if
15:32 we're constantly updating ourselves on our social media.
15:34 These aren't bad things.
15:35 We're talking about what are you dependent on?
15:37 Be dependent on the Father alone in your life.
15:39 That's what's gonna set you free.
15:41 Caleb: That's right, and like Yeshua said, don't fast to try
15:45 to gain righteousness or brownie points with God.
15:47 Don't fast and--to try to get attention like the Pharisees.
15:50 Fast in secret. It's between you and God.
15:52 No one else has to know about it.
15:54 And obviously, don't do anything harmful to your bodies.
15:57 Joshua: In fact, I may be fasting right now.
15:59 Shh, I'll never tell.
16:01 Caleb: So, don't blame us if you try to do a 40-day fast
16:04 without food and you end up in the emergency room.
16:06 Joshua: I did not advocate that. Caleb: We do not.
16:08 Joshua: You can prove nothing.
16:10 Caleb: Thanks for joining us. Joshua: I love you guys.
16:14 David: Fasting is not something that we really like to
16:18 hear about because it's something that
16:20 we really need to do.
16:21 We're trying to fast from sugar right now.
16:24 Joshua: Good on you.
16:26 David: Yeah, I need a cookie but I'm not gonna have one.
16:28 We're also trying to fast from, you know, TV and movies
16:32 and things like that.
16:33 Kirsten: We've done that, we're--believe it or not, we
16:35 don't even have a--we're on a television program and we don't
16:38 have a TV in our home.
16:40 David: We're on it but we don't watch it.
16:42 Kirsten: Right, but we watch it on our tablets but you talk
16:45 about fasting, there are many different kinds of fasting.
16:47 We fast from the news because we don't want that negative and,
16:51 right, and any time when you're taking a fast from something and
16:55 you jump back into it, any time, like, if we're in a hotel and we
16:59 turn on the news, it's so much negative and so much noise that
17:02 I don't want it anymore.
17:04 David: Brings us down. Kirsten: Yeah.
17:06 Joshua: Because really, fasting in general is about
17:07 removing the focus of myself.
17:09 The idolatry of me gets placed aside so that I can put my focus
17:13 on the Father and whether it is food, sugar, TV, this, that,
17:16 anything that holds my heart shouldn't.
17:19 And so I have to let go of that so the Father can hold my heart
17:22 and guide my direction.
17:24 Caleb: That's right, you know, previously, you asked me about
17:26 the curse of Adam and why are we doomed to that.
17:29 Well, Scripture also talks about generational
17:32 curses and iniquities, they're not fun.
17:33 And we're gonna talk about that in this next teaching
17:37 but there is hope and deliverance through Yeshua to
17:40 break the power of the curse.
17:42 I hope you enjoy this.
17:46 Joshua: Ha-hah, hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
17:49 Caleb: I'm Caleb. Joshua: We're brothers.
17:51 Caleb: True. Joshua: Can you tell?
17:53 Caleb: Given--you ever noticed, Josh, that sometimes we
17:55 do things like Dad did, you know, maybe holding our fork
17:58 the same way our Dad does or, you know, your laugh kind
18:01 of sounds like Dad.
18:02 Joshua: Nope, in fact, that's not a thing.
18:04 Caleb: Well, what about your shirt here?
18:07 Joshua: What about my amazing shirt here?
18:09 I love this shirt.
18:11 Caleb: Looks like something Dad wore in the '70s.
18:13 Joshua: Ah, dang it. He did, that's not--
18:19 Caleb: Let me read to you a almost-unrelated Scripture, but
18:22 it actually has something to do with what we're talking about.
18:25 In Exodus 24: "You shall not make for yourself an image in
18:28 the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or
18:30 in the waters below.
18:32 You shall not bow down to them or worship them.
18:34 For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God."
18:35 We've all heard that.
18:36 It's one of the Ten Commandments.
18:38 But we leave out this part afterwards: "Punishing the
18:41 children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth
18:43 generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand
18:46 generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."
18:48 This has been referred to as a generational curse.
18:51 It's repeated several times in the Bible.
18:53 Joshua: That's not a real thing, is it?
18:55 Caleb: You don't think generational curses are real?
18:56 You can look at families today, you look at children carrying
19:01 on the same mistakes as their parents,
19:03 certain addictions, sins.
19:06 It's more than just physical features.
19:09 And we can see that now in science.
19:11 A study of the human genome and of DNA has proven now that we
19:16 not only pass on our physical features to our children, but
19:19 our best and our worst traits as well.
19:21 Joshua: So, emotional and psychological things are
19:23 transferred genetically, not just physical traits?
19:27 Caleb: It's scary but true.
19:29 A study right now I'm gonna read to you, pioneering studies in
19:33 epigenetics which is the information that sits above the
19:36 genome, shows that our life experiences, our choices,
19:39 are written into our DNA.
19:41 Things like traumatic events that scar us, PTSD, fears,
19:44 bondages, or vices that grip us.
19:47 Even memories have been proven to pass
19:49 on to the next generation.
19:51 Joshua: I'm gonna think so many good things for my kids.
19:53 Do you hear that, kids?
19:55 I will--ooh, wait, I already had 'em.
19:57 Caleb: So they did a study, okay, with mice.
19:59 You know how you put a mouse in a cage and he goes around the
20:01 maze and tries to find the cheese at the end
20:03 or whatever food it is?
20:05 Well, there's also the wrong way in the maze where there
20:07 was an electric shock.
20:09 The mouse went through, he got zapped, until he found the right
20:12 way to get to the food.
20:14 Well, then that mouse had children.
20:16 The next generation of that child of mouse, his progeny,
20:18 went through the maze and somehow, this is his first time
20:22 in the maze, he knew the right way to go.
20:24 He avoided the electric shocks and went straight to the food.
20:28 Joshua: So if these things affect us to the third and
20:30 fourth generations, how do we, in those generations,
20:33 fix the problem?
20:35 How do we break these curses in generational things that
20:37 somebody before us did?
20:39 Caleb: Obviously, it's only through the power of Yeshua.
20:40 He understood this.
20:42 'Cause it's not just the genetic, physical curses or of
20:44 the iniquities that we're fighting.
20:46 It's spiritual as well, 'cause when we commit sin,
20:48 we're placing ourselves in bondage to certain
20:50 spirits and principalities.
20:52 Well, the Lord knew this.
20:55 It was called iniquity of bending or leaning our
20:57 inclination to do something.
20:59 He understood that.
21:00 When the story of Achen, you remember that?
21:02 Joshua: Oh, I do remember the story of Achen.
21:03 Guys, my namesake, Joshua, was called to go in.
21:05 They defeated Jericho and he was supposed to take everything, all
21:08 the spoils of it and give it as first fruits to God, but Achen
21:10 snuck in, stole some CD players.
21:12 Wait, I dated myself. That's the '90s.
21:14 Stole some stuff, hid it under his tent, and then God commanded
21:17 that Achen and his entire family be put to death.
21:19 Is that because that would have been a curse that traveled down?
21:23 Caleb: It could have infected the entire--not just his entire
21:26 family, but could have infected the congregation of Israel.
21:29 I mean, why do you think God commanded Joshua,
21:31 "Go into Canaan and kill every man, woman,
21:34 and child and take the land."
21:36 That's pretty extreme. But they had sin.
21:38 They were worshiping idols and other gods.
21:40 God didn't want the people to follow after them because that
21:42 could genetically pass on through them.
21:45 It would destroy entire generations.
21:47 Joshua: So we don't need to do that today, right?
21:48 What's the difference today?
21:50 Caleb: The different today is we have Yeshua.
21:51 Joshua: Yes!
21:53 Caleb: We have Yeshua and his sacrifice,
21:54 it gives us new blood.
21:56 We can receive his blood transfusion in our lives.
21:58 His genetics and that sets us free from our bondages, from the
22:01 snares that our forefathers committed.
22:04 We may not even know what sins
22:06 and things our fathers committed.
22:08 But through that same act of faith, that confession, that
22:10 receiving of salvation, we can renounce the sins of our
22:13 forefathers, we can receive that forgiveness on behalf of the
22:17 sins our parents committed, and make sure that our children do
22:21 not follow in the same mistakes we committed.
22:22 Joshua: Guys, we say this about a
22:24 lot of things on this show.
22:26 We say that you can't just sit and let things go by.
22:28 That you have to take action, that you have authority through
22:30 the Word of God and through the name of Yeshua, and that when
22:34 you exercise that authority, it breaks things like
22:36 generational curses, it breaks strongholds,
22:38 it brings freedom to the captive.
22:40 So what we're gonna do right now is I'm gonna pray for you guys
22:42 at home a prayer of faith, and I want you to agree with me as we
22:44 pray right now that if there are any generational curses, any
22:47 strongholds, anything binding you or holding your lives in
22:49 bondage that it's gonna be broken right now.
22:52 So dear heavenly Father, we just thank you right now.
22:54 We come together as you've told us to do, when two or more agree
22:57 and touch in anything on this earth, it'll be done by their
23:00 Father in heaven.
23:01 And I agree with everyone at home right now, that's
23:03 listening, that if there be any generational curses, any
23:05 strongholds, any iniquities in the bloodline, anything coming
23:08 against the men and women of God right now within the sound of my
23:11 voice, that have held them in bondage or their family or their
23:13 children or their children's children, in the name of Jesus
23:16 Christ of Nazareth we take authority over that right now.
23:18 In the name of Yeshua we break those strongholds, those curses,
23:22 that have held them in bondage.
23:24 We take authority together, saying,
23:26 "It cannot be done any longer.
23:28 It cannot cross the blood line.
23:30 We plead the blood with Yeshua from the top of their head to
23:32 the soles of their feet, setting them free from this bondage.
23:35 From this day forward it shall no longer affect them or their
23:38 children or their children's children.
23:40 We thank you for that freedom.
23:42 We thank you for the price you paid for us and we thank you,
23:44 Lord God, that they can walk with their heads held high, not
23:46 being affected or plagued by anything that's been done before
23:49 them in their bloodline.
23:51 Caleb: So now, receive the blessing.
23:53 Receive a blessing of the Lord to a 1000th generation.
23:56 Blessings are strong than curses.
23:58 Fill your life with good things.
24:00 Rewrite your genetic code by filling every area of your life,
24:03 things that you used to withhold, for Messiah.
24:05 Give it all to him.
24:07 And you pass on amazing blessing and prosperity to your children.
24:10 Joshua: 'Cause it's not just the curses that go to the third
24:12 and fourth; it's the blessings as well.
24:14 Caleb: No, join us next time.
24:18 Kirsten: It's kind of hard sometimes to understand
24:21 the generational curse.
24:23 I don't know, some of you have heard my story.
24:26 I don't know if you've heard my story before.
24:28 But I was adopted into a wonderful family.
24:32 They're my parents, but I also have genetic DNA of a birth
24:39 father and a birth mother.
24:41 And ever since finding out that I was adopted, I have always,
24:44 not battled but questioned who's generational curses am I under?
24:51 My adopted family or my blood line?
24:55 Caleb: Yeah, what inclination is making me
24:57 do the things that I'm doing?
25:00 David: Exactly. Kirsten: Right, nature, nurture.
25:02 Caleb: Yeah, and that's hard for a lot of people, guys,
25:05 because--and you see children carry on the same mistakes
25:07 as their parents.
25:09 And sometimes we don't really need to know.
25:11 You don't need to know who your family was.
25:13 You need to know who your Father is now.
25:15 And you can receive that adoption of sons and daughters
25:19 into the kingdom to break that curse.
25:21 It's bad. It exists.
25:23 The Scripture says it does, but the Scripture gives us a way of
25:26 freedom from that.
25:28 Interesting story, back when I was in high school.
25:30 You know, it was very kind of rigid, you know, it was a
25:33 Christian high school but denominational one.
25:35 I'm not gonna name them.
25:37 They love Yeshua, they can get people saved, but they didn't
25:39 know how to disciple them afterwards.
25:41 And I was in Bible class and I was supposed to give a sermon,
25:43 my very first sermon.
25:45 And I stepped up there like a commanding general.
25:47 This is how I started. Crickets chirping.
25:49 "You chosen of God, you conquerors, you warriors,
25:53 you overcomers, you blessed, you beloved.
25:57 These are the names that Messiah calls you by."
26:00 And people were like, "What does that mean?"
26:02 He thinks so much more highly of us because he knows the blood,
26:06 the true blood, the true DNA, that is inside us.
26:09 And that's the blood of Yeshua.
26:10 Kirsten: So, and I'm--sorry, so the Old Testament,
26:13 you were responsible.
26:15 The blood line went through the curses.
26:18 But now, from Yeshua, he has cleansed our blood
26:21 and given us new blood.
26:23 Caleb: He has set us free.
26:24 The law of sin and death is still in effect,
26:25 but we have a way out of it.
26:27 Joshua: But you have to walk in it, and that's a key.
26:28 You can't walk around as though you've been beaten down by the
26:30 enemy, "Woe is me, why do I always give in to these things."
26:33 You have to choose the path of the overcomer.
26:35 Look at Yeshua with his disciples and anything else.
26:37 He said, "Go, your faith has made you whole."
26:39 It's your responsibility to walk in what he paid for.
26:42 Caleb: And guys, this book of Zola's, "The Bible Jesus Read,"
26:47 he talks about the hidden plot of Yeshua through the Old
26:50 Testament and what he did to give you that freedom.
26:52 We're giving it to you when you give us an offering.
26:55 David: We talked about this before
26:56 the camera started rolling.
26:58 I asked these guys how many programs that you have.
27:01 You mentioned maybe 200 and for the next 5 years.
27:05 We wanna continue to bring stories just
27:09 like today's powerful story.
27:11 We can't do it without your support.
27:13 We need your generous donations.
27:15 Please pray about how you can help us to continue
27:17 this wonderful work.
27:19 Guys, it's time to go. Thank you for a great day.
27:21 Joshua: Yes, sir, and one should say,
27:24 "Shaalu shalom Yerushalayim."
27:26 Kirsten: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
27:29 male announcer: Our offer on this program, "The Bible Jesus
27:31 Read," is an entertaining and thorough tour of the Old
27:35 Testament, a readable study that is relevant to all who want to
27:37 understand the beginning of God's plan and the roots of the
27:41 church on earth.
27:43 The theology is understandable and treated with thoroughness.
