Caption transcript for “Last Days Revival”

00:01 ♪♪♪ David Hart: We are so glad
00:12 you've joined us today. Our hot topic today is about "Last Days Revival," yes?
00:17 Kirsten Hart: But I do have a question, okay, and I know
00:19 it's hot topic and you're gonna talk about this topic,
00:22 but didn't the last days begin when Jesus ascended?
00:26 Joshua Colson: Okay, so before we get into the specificity,
00:29 I'm gonna bring this up, because I am the man who loves to just
00:33 speak from his heart, and ad-lib and say everything that I'm
00:35 feeling, and my brother is the one who's the letter of the law,
00:38 he's gonna give you the Scripture word for word,
00:40 he corrects me every time I get one syllable off.
00:43 So, today, when we talk about the difference between
00:45 the last days and the end days, one would think, in English,
00:49 those are just two different words.
00:52 Caleb Colson: End times.
00:53 Joshua: End times, see? I got it wrong just now.
00:55 Kirsten: Oh, he coughs.
00:56 Joshua: Under his breath, this is how we know.
00:59 Kirsten: He gives you the correction under his cough,
01:00 I saw that.
01:01 Joshua: So what would be the difference, Brother,
01:03 between the last days in the end times, and why is it so specific
01:05 you can't get those wrong and interchange them?
01:07 Caleb: Well, because, one, we're not a part of the end times,
01:10 we believers are not supposed to endure the wrath and
01:12 a tribulation on all the crazy stuff that goes on, but we are
01:16 to live in the last days.
01:17 Peter said it on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit
01:21 was poured out, he says we are living in Joel 2:28, "This is
01:25 the prophecy of Joel fulfilled."
01:26 So we know that we have this moment of outpouring of the
01:29 Holy Spirit, and we are to live in it, with those signs, wonders
01:33 and miracles that they performed in times past.
01:35 Kirsten: So I was kind of a little bit right?
01:39 Caleb: Yes.
01:40 David: Right now let's go to the guys's teaching.

01:55 Joshua: Get a good one on this, this is like that game where you
01:57 have to wheel the number.
02:00 Hi, I'm Joshua.
02:01 Caleb: And I'm Caleb.
02:03 Joshua: Let me tell you something about my life.
02:04 Caleb: Josh.
02:06 Joshua: I'm pretty set, I got a sweet smartphone, I got
02:09 a tablet, got a laptop at home, I got a TV, all the channels,
02:14 the fastest internet you can find, six kinds of protein,
02:18 one for fast absorption, one for slow, one before I go to bed.
02:20 I pretty much don't need anything.
02:24 Caleb: You're self-sufficient, huh?
02:25 Joshua: Self-sufficient, I pride myself in that.
02:28 Caleb: Well, that's a problem.
02:30 Joshua: How could that be a problem?
02:31 Caleb: Because Yeshua says in the Bible that we need to depend
02:34 on God for our daily bread.
02:36 Joshua: Yes.
02:37 Caleb: That means.
02:38 Joshua: I don't eat bread.
02:40 Caleb: Even if we have everything that we think
02:41 we need, we need to depend on Yeshua, emotionally, physically,
02:44 spiritually, for our daily needs, because he wants that
02:47 for us.
02:49 He's our Father, he wants us to say, "Hey, I need you
02:51 every day, God."
02:52 Joshua: Have you ever wondered, maybe in your life, why you seem
02:54 to lack the miraculous that you read about in the Word of God,
02:58 how we tend to pray for things or believe for things,
03:00 but yet we don't see the responsive nature
03:03 that we've read about in the Scriptures?
03:05 You ever wonder why that may be?
03:06 Caleb: Well, I've heard of the great awakenings in the past,
03:08 great revivals and moves of God, and you saw thousands of people
03:13 come to Messiah.
03:14 How come that's not happening today?
03:16 Joshua: Well, I can sum it up to you in one word.
03:19 Caleb: Yes.
03:20 Joshua: Desperation.
03:22 All those different time periods, even today in other
03:23 parts of the world, what spawns or spurns, because those are
03:27 two different words, people being led towards something is
03:30 the desperate need that they have in that moment
03:33 for something bigger than themselves.
03:35 Caleb: Well, that's why people see miracles around the world,
03:37 say in countries where Christians are persecuted,
03:40 in Middle Eastern countries and Muslim rule, or places like
03:43 Burma or China, Christians suffer for the name of Yeshua.
03:49 But, guess what?
03:51 They're content with their lives and they understand the power of
03:56 Yeshua, they see miracles, they see the manifestation of Yeshua,
03:59 sometimes in-person, they see moves of God.
04:03 Joshua: And those are stories that I've seen firsthand
04:05 with people across the world, is, I've never one time had
04:08 to convince anyone of the power of Yeshua, I never had to try
04:12 to convince them that he wanted these things and was capable
04:15 of seeing them through, because they were in such
04:17 desperate need.
04:18 They said, "If this Guy can do it, that's what I want,
04:21 if he's the Son of God like you said, then I need what he has."
04:24 In America, our complacency comes from our idea
04:27 of self-reliance, we don't need anybody, we're told
04:29 that true wisdom is about your backup plan.
04:32 Caleb: You know, in the Old Testament, I've been reading to
04:35 my daughters lately, and there's a phrase that I see many times,
04:38 actually, two important phrases, one is, "And the children
04:41 of Israel once again did evil in the sight of the Lord."
04:44 And then, a few verses later you see, "And the children
04:47 of Israel cried out unto the Lord for help."
04:49 Joshua: Yes.
04:50 Caleb: Well, whenever they turned their backs on the Lord,
04:52 God had to pull back his hand of restraint and invading armies
04:56 come, and then, when they were finally desperate, they call out
04:59 to God.
05:00 Hey, we're blessed in America, we don't have invading forces,
05:02 we're not persecuted when we go to synagogue or to church,
05:07 we have all that we need, or all that we think we need.
05:10 But really, when it comes down to how do we get
05:13 a great awakening?
05:14 Well done, Josh.
05:15 How we see a move of God?
05:17 It's repentance, we need to repent, even if we haven't done
05:20 any great sin, from our complacency, from our apathy,
05:24 from our lethargy.
05:25 We don't wanna be lukewarm believers in Messiah,
05:28 we don't wanna be like the church of Laodicea.
05:30 Joshua: Nobody wants to get spit out of your mouth,
05:32 it's a terrible idea.
05:34 Caleb: That's right.
05:35 Joshua: Guys, focus on what's important here in what
05:37 we're saying, the idea, your stuff isn't wrong, what you have
05:41 isn't wrong, being blessed isn't wrong, that's all from God,
05:43 that's amazing.
05:45 The problem is when you find your worth, your value,
05:48 and when you find your deliverance,
05:50 in your own capabilities and in your things,
05:52 and instead of the one who provided them for you.
05:55 We can't ever get to the point where we are receiving truly
05:58 from the Father until we give him permission, because he's
06:00 a gentleman and he's not gonna usurp your will, he's not gonna
06:03 come into your life that you've crafted so perfectly and change
06:06 things up, because you didn't give him permission to do it.
06:08 Caleb: Free will.
06:10 Joshua: We have free will, but the second you do give him
06:11 permission, he's gonna come into your sweet, protein-ridden
06:14 household, and he's gonna blow your mind on how you can eat
06:17 carbs and stay lean, too, because he loves you.
06:20 Caleb: So, seek the Lord, fear the Lord, be ready
06:24 in anticipation to see a move of God in your life, in your
06:26 family, on a personal level, on a worldwide level, we wanna see
06:31 Yeshua reach the nations.
06:33 Joshua: And seek him for the most important reason, he said
06:36 it himself, "I Am that I Am," seek him because you love him,
06:40 and all that other stuff that gets added unto you is just
06:43 a benefit of putting your affection in the right place.
06:45 Caleb: Icing on the cake.
06:47 Joshua: Love icing, oh, it's been--I haven't had icing
06:49 since like 1986, I really feel like I missed out.
06:53 It is bathing suit season, though, so, gosh.
06:56 Caleb: Fidget spinner.
06:58 Joshua: You are such a harsh taskmaster.
07:00 Caleb: Watch us next time.
07:02 Joshua: It's metallic, did you ever notice that?
07:03 So shiny, I like shiny.
07:05 Caleb: It can reflect light.
07:07 Joshua: Sorry.
07:09 ♪♪♪
07:19 Kirsten: My parents both watch our program every single week,
07:22 two times a week, they are 91 and 92, and my dad, it was very
07:28 interesting, that generation, talking about how long
07:33 the end times.
07:34 Caleb: The church age, the last age.
07:36 Kirsten: Right, the church age, and he literally thought,
07:37 and those that were living in World War II thought, "It's now,
07:41 Hitler's Antichrist, and what is happening to the Jewish people,"
07:44 they thought they were in the end times,
07:46 as part of the last days.
07:48 Caleb: Satan thought it was it, too, and that's the thing, the
07:50 first century church, you read their writings, they thought
07:53 it was, too, they thought they were living in the last time.
07:55 They say many times, "We're living in the last times," but
07:58 God has extended that timetable of when to send his Son back.
08:02 Yeshua says, "This gospel of the kingdom must be preached
08:05 as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come."
08:07 Well, he says there hasn't been enough people hearing the truth
08:10 of Yeshua, so it's his grace that he's extended that
08:13 timetable, that we can say we're still living in those last days.
08:16 Joshua: And it's interesting, because in those times where the
08:19 desperation is at an all-time high, that expectation rises up
08:23 within people, right?
08:24 We expect Yeshua to come back, we need more from you, Father.
08:27 And that's the moment that we realize that we have to,
08:30 "Be doers of the Word, and not just hearers only,"
08:32 it is our job to go out into all the nations,
08:34 to share that good news.
08:36 So, whether you believe that Jesus is coming today, in your
08:38 lifetime, 100, 200 years from now, that expectation of saying,
08:42 "If he comes soon, I've got to get another person in with me."
08:46 Caleb: That's right.
08:47 Joshua: But the problem is, we let sin in sometimes
08:48 and that sin can cloud a lot.
08:50 Caleb: And there's a reward for that, for looking to his return,
08:53 and we're gonna talk more of this, this subject matter is
08:56 gonna continue, with our episode "Return to Your First Love,"
08:59 because it's all about getting your heart right with God
09:01 so that you can prepare for his return.
09:05 Caleb: Hey, everybody, I'm Caleb, and this is Josh.
09:09 Joshua?
09:10 Joshua: "Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as honeycomb: honey and
09:14 milk under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like
09:18 the smell of Lebanon."
09:20 "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south;
09:24 blow upon my garden."
09:25 Caleb: Okay, okay, okay, I don't know where you're going there
09:27 with this, Josh.
09:29 Joshua: This stuff is great, how come I never read that before?
09:31 Caleb: Now I have to salvage this and turn this into a moral.
09:34 Okay, guys, let's say you've been married for 10 or 20 years
09:40 and you kind of know your spouse pretty well by now, you've kind
09:42 of grown complacent with your spouse, you're not reading off
09:45 these limericks, this poetry, to them anymore.
09:48 But when you first got to know them, remember, you were just
09:51 crazy about them, you were always focusing on them,
09:54 trying to make them laugh, trying to do anything you could
09:58 to please them.
10:00 And oh, Fidgey, keep spinning Fidgey.
10:02 But Josh, I feel like sometimes we've grown complacent with our
10:06 relationship with God, just as we would if we've been married
10:09 for 20 years with the spouse, that, "Well, yeah, we've kind
10:12 of seen everything that there is to God, you know?
10:14 He's not that interesting."
10:16 And when we have done that, in cutting off our relationship
10:21 to him, it's almost like we're looking at God through
10:22 a third-person lens.
10:25 So we go to church, we hear God, about God from the pastor,
10:29 we watch Christian television, listen to the radio, we hear
10:32 about all of God, but we haven't that personal, one-on-one
10:35 relationship that we had when we first came to know Yeshua
10:40 as our Savior, when we were first on-fire for him.
10:43 And Revelation 2 warns us, we need to return back
10:47 to our first love, that first moment when we got to know God.
10:51 Joshua: See, in a marriage, you have to give 100%.
10:52 Caleb: Okay.
10:54 Joshua: Okay?
10:55 You have to give 100 % of yourself.
10:57 If you don't, like you said, this complacency, this distance
10:58 will grow.
10:59 And the marriage relationship was the example that God gave
11:02 for us to understand the union between him and his bride.
11:06 Caleb: The church, yeah.
11:07 Joshua: This is Ephesians 5:31-32.
11:10 Caleb: That's correct, yes, Sir.
11:12 Joshua: But this involves us surrendering everything to God.
11:14 When you don't give 100% of something, there are percentages
11:18 and parts of you, dark parts of your heart that you don't give
11:21 away, that you keep selfishly for yourself, that then grow and
11:23 create distance, the same thing that would happen with a spouse
11:26 if you don't continue to give 100% of yourself.
11:29 Then those selfish parts of your nature grow and create a barrier
11:32 between you and her.
11:34 Caleb: Guys, when we don't give everything over to God and we're
11:37 focused on these other things in our life it's literally
11:40 idolatry, anything that gets more of our focus than God is
11:43 an idol, and God always equates idolatry, in the Bible,
11:48 to adultery, it's true.
11:49 In Ezekiel 16 and Jeremiah 3, he equates them both the same,
11:52 because he's in a relationship with you, and you're turning
11:55 away and giving other things your focus.
11:58 And we may think we have experienced everything there is
12:00 to God.
12:01 Even if you haven't turned away from God, you really love him,
12:04 you're like, "Okay, I've experienced the presence of God,
12:08 I've seen dreams and visions, I've been ushered into
12:10 his presence, I've danced before him, I've prophesied, I've
12:13 healed the sick, I've cast out devils," but really, we've never
12:16 all tapped into the fullness of God, he's so much greater than
12:19 all that.
12:20 Joshua: Part of the temptation to not give 100%, or to allow
12:24 love to grow old and not remain new, is looking at love
12:28 through the perspective of what it brings to me.
12:30 Caleb: That's true.
12:31 Joshua: This is how this wears off.
12:33 When you're in a relationship with someone and everything's
12:34 new, then every experience that you have is positive for you
12:38 because it's something new that you're receiving, something to
12:41 your senses that you find new and tantalizing, but what love
12:45 was intended to be is something that you give out to another.
12:48 Caleb: That's right.
12:49 Joshua: So, in your relationship with God, as opposed to just
12:51 what I can take in and what I can have for myself, is,
12:54 "What can I give to God, how can I give him more of me, more of
12:58 my heart, more of my submission, more of my love, more of my
13:01 praise, more of my adoration?"
13:02 When our shifting becomes, "What am I receiving from love,"
13:06 as opposed to what I'm giving, then we see that love
13:09 is this burning fire that continues to grow and grow,
13:13 and can't be put out simply by time.
13:15 Caleb: And guys, we never witness all that there
13:17 is to God.
13:18 We know he's the same yesterday, today, and forevermore,
13:21 but he's also limitless in his creativity, in his power and
13:24 his glory, and if you seek him, you're gonna get more of him,
13:27 things that you never knew were possible, and he's gonna give it
13:30 to you, but, like Josh said, you have to seek him first,
13:33 you have to seek that love.
13:34 The entire reason he created us, Josh, was to give love to him,
13:38 but it had to be a free-will choice, he was never gonna
13:41 demand love, he didn't make us like the angels.
13:44 And he wanted that relationship back with him because he was
13:49 lonely, he really was lonely and he wanted that relationship
13:52 with us, but we've strayed away in that relationship,
13:56 and we've seen that even in America, today.
13:58 Joshua: The problem with straying, obviously, is that
13:59 when you stray, and you begin to walk in sin not in love,
14:02 then it brings judgment upon you.
14:03 We talked about it in another episode, about that.
14:06 But the good news is it only takes one, it only takes one
14:09 decision, one choice, one of you to put your heart towards him.
14:11 And when we look at these examples in the Bible, from
14:14 Josiah, when he inclined his heart towards God, Moses
14:17 interceded before God to prevent judgment from falling on the
14:20 people from their actions.
14:22 So it's not going to take, you know, everybody banding together
14:26 right off the bat, "Okay, 60 of us have decided to love
14:28 and not," no, it takes the choice in your heart.
14:30 And when you look in the Bible, James 4:8 says, "Draw near
14:34 to God and He will draw near to you."
14:35 Jeremiah 29:13 says, "And you will seek Me and find Me,
14:39 when you search for Me with all your heart."
14:41 Isaiah 55:67 says, "Seek the Lord while He may be found,
14:45 call upon Him while He is near.
14:46 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man, his
14:50 thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy
14:52 on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon."
14:55 When we only seek the love of mankind, there is always
15:00 the risk, the risk is it will be unrequited.
15:02 The promise of God's love to you is that, "When you seek Me,
15:05 I'll be there.
15:06 It doesn't matter when, it doesn't matter how, how much, if
15:09 you seek Me, I'm gonna find you, and I'm gonna love you back,
15:13 and I'm gonna bless you and I'm gonna show you mercy,
15:16 and I'm gonna do it in abundance."
15:18 What an amazing promise.
15:19 You don't have to risk talking to the cute girl and getting
15:22 shut down every time with God, he says, "You want Me?
15:26 I want you, and let's do this," and he's gonna grab you
15:29 and you're gonna run together.
15:30 Caleb: So, return to your first love, all it takes is you to
15:34 turn the heart of God, to change the nation, more and more people
15:38 on their knees in prayer.
15:39 We're gonna see that mentality of selflessness just overtaking
15:45 from a community level, growing to your church, to your state,
15:48 then to a national level, because it's all about being
15:51 sacrificial, what can you give to God, what can you give
15:55 to others?
15:56 And when everybody's in that position to be a servant
16:00 instead of trying to be the one living for themselves,
16:03 they're the master, then you are the greatest in the kingdom
16:05 of heaven instead of the lowest.
16:09 It's the opposite, the way we think things,
16:11 from earth to heaven.
16:13 Joshua: So, remember, submit your heart to him, love him,
16:15 chase him down the way you wanna be chased down and loved,
16:18 be the one that takes the steps and actions.
16:20 And remember, if you're in a young, budding relationship,
16:22 avoid quoting Song of Solomon, it creeps girls out nowadays,
16:26 I'm not even joking.
16:27 I'm married, but it almost caused real problems,
16:30 they don't wanna know how they're
16:31 related to hairy animals.
16:32 I guess maybe women were hairier back then, but today,
16:35 doesn't play.
16:37 Caleb: True, and my teenage daughters were reading it
16:38 the other day, they were just like, "What?"
16:40 Joshua: Doesn't play.
16:42 We love you, not like weird-hairy-animal love you,
16:46 like the love of Christ.

17:03 David: This will never happen to us sitting here, but it does
17:06 happen, probably daily, people who turn away from God,
17:10 like adultery, I can't imagine that happening.
17:12 Joshua: We ask all the time for God to make a move, right?
17:15 We wanna see a move of God in our lives, we wanna see
17:17 a revival or a reformation, and then it doesn't happen, and then
17:21 we look up at God and we say, "What's the deal, why did you do
17:23 all this for everybody else?
17:24 If you're not a respecter of persons, why is it not happening
17:26 for me?"
17:27 And we forget that the personal responsibility to get the sin
17:29 out, to get our life right, to let go of those things
17:33 that are blocking him from being able to make that move,
17:36 that responsibility's on us.
17:37 Caleb: That's right.
17:39 Joshua: James 5:7-8 says, "Therefore be patient, brethren,
17:40 until the coming of the Lord.
17:42 See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth,
17:44 waiting patiently for it until he receives the early
17:47 and latter rain.
17:48 You also be patient.
17:50 Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand."
17:52 That, "Latter rain," people have used this terminology.
17:56 Caleb: Misused, for sure, yeah.
17:57 Joshua: For so many different things.
17:58 It was simply talking about that rain that comes at the end
18:00 of a harvest right before you're gonna pluck up
18:02 all the good stuff.
18:03 Caleb: And the harvest is the Rapture, the Rapture
18:05 of the Bride of Messiah, but there's other raptures,
18:07 that aren't so good, for the lost.
18:09 And so, I believe Yeshua commanded us, he said,
18:12 "Look at the fields, they're white,
18:15 ready for a harvest right now."
18:17 He was the first fruits of a harvest, we got partake
18:19 in his first fruits of a harvest, don't you think?
18:21 Joshua: I think it's important, guys.
18:23 John 4:35 is what says that verse, and we're gonna talk
18:27 about the reformation here in our last segment.
18:35 Caleb: I'm Caleb.
18:36 Joshua: I'm Joshua, hi.
18:37 Caleb: How are you doing?
18:39 Joshua: I'm all right.
18:40 Oh, them.
18:41 Caleb: Yeah, yeah.
18:43 Isn't it cool that we have the Bible here, we have scriptures,
18:44 that any time we wanna know anything about the Word of God,
18:46 we can open it and reference it?
18:48 Do you know during the Dark Ages,
18:49 they didn't have this resource at their disposal?
18:52 Joshua: "Dark," like pre-internet, like before that
18:53 was the Dark Age?
18:55 Because I had a Bible way before the internet was invented.
18:57 Caleb: We're talking about during the medieval times
19:00 before the Bible was translated into the common tongue.
19:02 Joshua: You get a whole chicken there, and you get to vote
19:04 for the Green Knight, it's an awesome place.
19:06 Caleb: During the Dark Ages, the Bible is only written
19:09 in Latin and Greek, and it was not readily available,
19:11 it was only within the church.
19:13 Joshua: Why would they do that?
19:15 I can't read Latin, could everybody else read Latin?
19:17 Caleb: Well, you had the church leaders, God's chosen vassals,
19:20 that will interpret the Bible to common man, but man's heart
19:23 can be corrupted, and they eventually lied for their own
19:26 personal gain.
19:27 Then Martin Luther nailed his "Ninety-five Theses"
19:30 to the church door, he started a reformation, the Bible
19:33 was translated into German, and then later into English,
19:35 with King James, to the common tongue, and now, today,
19:38 we have the Scriptures,
19:39 that brought about a great reformation.
19:41 You can see in the Bible, that whenever a man inclines
19:45 his heart to God, that that brings a revival or reformation
19:48 to an entire nation.
19:49 Joshua: This is actually referenced in the Bible,
19:51 in 2 Chronicles 7:14, where it says, "If My people
19:54 who are called by My name will humble themselves,
19:56 and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,
19:59 then will I hear from heaven,
20:00 and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
20:03 Caleb: That's amazing.
20:05 Three Bible characters come to mind, great reformers
20:08 that follow the Lord.
20:09 Josiah, at the age of eight he became king, his grandfather
20:14 and father were extremely wicked, he did not have
20:17 the Book of the Law, he didn't have the statues of the Lord,
20:19 he didn't know how to follow them, but he still inclined
20:21 his heart to God, he still put away idols
20:23 and he started restoring the temple.
20:25 Well, eventually, in his twenties,
20:26 the Book of the Law was found,
20:28 and when they read it to him, he rent his clothes,
20:30 he cried out, God, "have mercy on me," put on a sackcloth
20:33 and ashes, and the Lord spared Judah from destruction
20:36 because of his heart.
20:38 Let's look at King Hezekiah before him, he also purified
20:41 the temple, he also restored animal sacrifices and Passover,
20:45 when his predecessors had fallen into idolatry.
20:47 King Joash, in the Bible, he was almost killed
20:50 by his grandmother, Athaliah, he was hidden in the temple
20:53 as a baby by the priest Jehoiada.
20:55 At the age of seven, he becomes king, he starts enacting great
20:59 reforms, and the people turn their heart back to God.
21:02 See, all these people, they are great examples of how their
21:05 entire nation was led to follow the Lord, but the sad thing was,
21:10 when they died, people fell into sin again.
21:13 Joshua: I feel really underqualified as a personal
21:14 eight-year-old because I didn't do any of those things, and
21:17 every time I've rent my clothes I've been asked to leave Target,
21:20 so I did not keep any examples up.
21:22 But if you read here in Isaiah 55:67, it says,
21:25 "Seek the Lord while He may be found,
21:27 call upon Him while He is near,
21:29 Let the wicked forsake his way,
21:31 and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
21:33 Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him;
21:36 and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon."
21:38 It's funny that you said that, these people, they lived these
21:40 amazing lives, they set a precedent, and then immediately
21:43 after, even their own children didn't do any of it, right?
21:47 They fell into sin.
21:48 Caleb: Sin, terrible stuff.
21:50 Joshua: We get this idea, today, that, "If somebody will just
21:51 establish a foundation for me, if they'll just give me
21:52 the money, if they'll just set the precedent, then everything
21:55 will be fine, my life will be perfect and we'll all follow
21:57 along this path.
21:58 God, if you would just do this for me,
22:00 then I would follow you forever."
22:01 But this is obviously not the case, because throughout
22:03 history, just because somebody else lived by example,
22:05 if there wasn't personal change, like spoken of in Isaiah,
22:08 nothing did change.
22:10 Caleb: That's true, just like you cannot receive salvation
22:12 for your children, you cannot reform another person's heart.
22:16 Now, you can be a good example, you can follow the Lord,
22:19 and be that example and follow his statutes, but ultimately,
22:22 the experience has to be a personal one.
22:24 And just to close, this reminds me of a very important scripture
22:27 that God promises reformation and restoration
22:29 to national Israel.
22:30 It's in Ezekiel, Ezekiel chapter 36:25-28, the Lord says,
22:35 "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be
22:38 clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from
22:40 all your idols.
22:41 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and
22:44 I'll take the heart of stone out of your flesh and I'll give you
22:46 a heart of flesh.
22:47 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk
22:49 in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
22:52 Then you shall dwell on the land that I gave to your fathers;
22:55 you shall be My people, and I will be your God."
22:57 Isn't that amazing?
22:59 Joshua: That is amazing.
23:00 Guys, remember, we throw around words all day long, like revival
23:02 and restoration and reformation and all these things,
23:03 and they're great words, but at the end of the day,
23:06 it requires a personal responsibility for you.
23:08 Every one of these men that you read about in history,
23:10 and women and children, who made an impact,
23:12 they made a decision in their life first.
23:15 They fell on their knees in prayer, they cleaned out
23:17 their lives and they made a dedication, personally,
23:20 to make a change.
23:22 If you wanna see something happen in your life, in your
23:23 family's life, in the ages to come, it's our responsibility
23:27 to get on our knees in prayer and to submit ourselves
23:29 and our lives to him.
23:30 And when we do that, that's when we're gonna see the change.
23:32 Caleb: That's right. Join us next time.
23:34 Joshua: And don't rend your clothes in Target,
23:36 it's apparently a crime, had no mal-intent, it was just like,
23:39 "No, you got to leave immediately."
23:42 What's that all about?
23:44 ♪♪♪
23:57 Kirsten: We're talking about the last days and the end times,
24:01 and the Antichrist will come in with the supernatural signs.
24:05 And I feel that if we, the church, were walking
24:11 in the power that we should be walking in, the Antichrist's
24:15 supernatural signs wouldn't be so supernatural, because they'd
24:19 be used to us walking and people being healed in our shadow.
24:24 We should be walking in that daily, and then his superpower
24:28 would be so much less, if we were walking fulfilled.
24:30 Joshua: This is the craziest thing, before you jump in here,
24:33 you know, it's somehow come to this point in life where
24:37 believers believe less in the supernatural than
24:40 the unbeliever does.
24:41 Kirsten: Oh, that's good.
24:43 Joshua: If you look at television shows, today,
24:44 from kids up now, everything is about superhero, superpower,
24:48 witchcraft, how they somehow evolved into a being that had
24:52 this new thing, and it's become a commonplace concept.
24:55 If somebody showed up today with superpowers, it might make a
24:58 blip on the radar for a minute, but then it's just part of our
25:00 whole Marvel society now, right?
25:03 But yet, in the church, we have more denominations who refuse
25:07 to accept that we have the authority, that Yeshua gave us,
25:10 and operate in that authority beyond
25:12 just the Great Commission, being witnessing.
25:14 How sad is that, that we're not walking in it and utilizing it
25:17 because we don't believe in it?
25:18 Kirsten: Right, and I think we could win so many more to Christ
25:21 if they saw the supernatural, that is what could be
25:24 the difference.
25:26 If healing happened and people saw it all the time,
25:29 who wouldn't want that?
25:30 Caleb: Yeah, and obviously that's the benefits of being a
25:32 son or daughter of Messiah, but too many people think that was
25:34 just for them, the first century church, but we're supposed to do
25:37 greater works than Yeshua did, and we should be able to cast
25:41 out devils, heal the sick, do the miracles in his name,
25:45 and we can.
25:47 1 Corinthians 13 talks about that, and we believe it and
25:49 we've seen it, we've walked it, we lived in it, but the church
25:52 doesn't operate in it, they'd rather operate in a counterfeit
25:56 position than in the authentic position that Yeshua
25:59 has called us to.
26:00 David: That's good, guys.
26:02 A lot more to come, we'll be right back.

26:31 A lot of people don't know this, and if you're watching,

26:36 You are, that the four of us, together, host tours to Israel.
26:40 Joshua: That's right.

26:47 and we're excited to offer.
26:48 Caleb: It's gonna be a fun bus ride, I tell you that.
26:50 Joshua: Yes, it is.
26:51 Caleb: So this episode that we were just talking about,
26:54 this last days move of God, it's necessary right now.
26:57 These things happen in cycles, you have, you know, sin,
27:00 and in desperation people cry out to God, then you have a move
27:02 of God.
27:04 I feel it's time, high time right now, for the church
27:06 to repent on their knees and, have that final last days
27:09 move of God, to go out in a blaze of glory.
27:11 David: And I hate to do this now, but we gotta go.
27:13 Joshua: So, Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim.
27:16 David: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
