21:21
and i think it literally is gabriel his
21:23
name gabriel means
21:24
messenger of him and so he’s his
21:27
his messenger and so in heaven it’s
21:29
considered
21:30
uh the greatest privilege to be able to
21:33
give good news
21:34
since it operates on the spirit of good
21:36
news it’s the reason why
21:38
testimonies here are supposed to be a
21:39
big deal you know big deal
21:41
you know it’s like in church who has a
21:42
testimony why is that because
21:44
they overc revelation we overcome him by
21:46
the blood of the lamb what he did on the
21:48
cross
21:49
and the word of our testimony how we
21:51
report on how
21:53
there are winds even if it’s not the end
21:55
wind whatever level of wind there is
21:57
they overcame them by the blood of the
21:59
lamb the word of their testimony loving
22:00
not their life to death
22:02
so you realize that it’s even it is even
22:05
listed as
22:06
uh we’ll say before martyrdom
22:09
loving not their life to death is the
22:11
word of their testimony and so how they
22:13
process
22:14
how they still give glory to god how
22:16
they testify
22:18
and so it is is a privilege
22:21
in heaven we’ll be hearing testimonies
22:23
forever um
22:24
because they’re things that uh lift us
22:27
up they encourage us they
22:29
uh warm our spirits our hearts and and
22:32
that’s the atmosphere of heaven is
22:35
communication that’s hopeful
22:37
positive heartwarming you think of
22:40
you know going to the best movie you can
22:42
think of and you feel
22:44
just so touched by the way they got to a
22:46
specific
22:47
storyline it might mean make tears come
22:49
to you your eyes
22:50
goosebumps uh you know whatever whatever
22:53
it is there’s a glory of his way of
22:55
communicating
22:56
and so that’s what we will be under that
22:58
environment in heaven so
22:59
back to gabriel i believe gabriel is the
23:03
archangel
23:03
of the mountain of media and he works
23:05
with whoever has an assignment on the
23:07
mountain of media and his name means
23:08
messenger of god
23:10
and it’s interesting that when god has
23:12
an important message to give
23:14
again i told i was i’m telling you that
23:17
it is considered the highest privilege
23:19
to be able to give good news so who has
23:20
the right to give the best
23:22
news ever told on earth gabriel
23:25
i believe because he is the archangel of
23:27
that mountain and
23:28
that those that’s the news both to the
23:30
shepherds to mary
23:32
um he’s involved with communicating to
23:36
elizabeth as well i’ll just look at a
23:38
few verses
23:39
in in luke chapter one and and you’ll
23:42
see
23:42
the way he comes and i don’t think i
23:44
have it i don’t think i
23:46
uh have it right in front of me i’ll see
23:48
if i get to if it
23:49
shows up right there but even when he
23:53
when he comes to the shepherds he
23:55
announces himself
23:56
depending on what version of the bible
23:58
lord i bring you glad tidings he always
24:00
announces himself as a bearer of glad
24:02
tidings of good news
24:04
and so here he is in in luke chapter one
24:07
is where i was looking earlier and
24:11
it was you know with john the baptist
24:13
who was the forerunner
24:15
of jesus his birth is announced to
24:17
zacharias
24:19
and and it says uh in verse 10 and the
24:22
whole multitude of the people was
24:24
praying outside at the hour of incense
24:27
and then verse 11 then an angel of the
24:29
lord appeared to him
24:30
standing on the right side of the altar
24:32
of incense
24:33
and when zechariah saw him he was
24:35
troubled and fear fell upon him well you
24:37
say why is he troubled and fear falls
24:39
upon him
24:41
well it’s because he’s such an amazing
24:46
the level of glory he carries is of such
24:49
that you know you’ve seen something
24:50
that’s been close to god
24:52
and i will tell you already this is
24:54
gabriel and you say how do you know that
24:56
we’ll find that out in just a moment but
24:58
the angel said to him do not be afraid
25:00
zacharias
25:01
for your prayer is heard and your wife
25:03
elizabeth will bear you a son and you
25:05
will call his name
25:06
john and you will have joy and gladness
25:09
and many will rejoice at his birth for
25:12
he will be great in the sight of the
25:14
lord he shall neither drink wine nor
25:15
strong drink he will also be
25:17
filled with the holy spirit from his
25:18
mother’s womb
25:20
he will turn many of the children of
25:22
israel to the lord their god
25:23
he will go before him in the spirit and
25:25
power of elijah to turn the hearts of
25:27
the fathers to the children
25:29
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the
25:30
just to make ready a people prepared for
25:32
the lord
25:33
zechariah said to the angel how shall i
25:35
know this for i’m an old man and my wife
25:37
has well advanced in years
25:39
so he’s essentially saying despite the
25:41
fact that i have an angel who’s making
25:42
me shake in my boots here
25:44
talking to me how do i know this is
25:46
going to be true he wants another proof
25:48
and the angel answered him and said i am
25:50
gabriel
25:52
who stands in the presence of god who
25:54
was sent to speak to you and bring you
25:55
these glad tidings i was sent
25:59
to bring you good news behold
26:02
but behold you will be mute and not be
26:04
able to speak until the day these things
26:06
take place he essentially says there can
26:07
be no doubting
26:09
in the process of jesus birth and so
26:12
we’re just going to keep
26:12
you have a tendency to be a doubter
26:14
zechariah so we’re going to keep your
26:15
mouth
26:16
shut this goes into the authority even
26:19
gabriel has
26:20
authority to stop communication
26:23
and so he was releasing communication
26:25
and stopping communication
26:27
but just notice this um
26:30
we’ll move on then i’ll tell you to
26:31
notice something we get to the same
26:34
process
26:35
it’s still luke 1 and verse 26 now in
26:38
the sixth month the angel
26:40
gabriel in case we doubted was sent by
26:42
god to the city of galilee named
26:44
nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man
26:46
whose name was joseph of the house of
26:48
david
26:48
the virgin’s name was mary and having
26:50
come in the angel
26:52
said to her rejoice highly favored one
26:55
the lord is with you blessed are you
26:57
amongst women when she saw him she was
26:59
troubled that is saying again why
27:01
you have to assume the nature of the
27:04
glory that he carries is something that
27:06
could trouble you
27:07
and and she considered what men are
27:09
greeting and then the angel said to her
27:11
the same thing do not be afraid mary for
27:13
you have found favor with god
27:15
behold you will conceive in your womb
27:17
and bring forth a son
27:18
his name shall be called jesus he will
27:20
be great
27:21
he will be called the son of the highest
27:24
the lord god will give him the throne of
27:25
his father david and he will reign over
27:27
the house of jacob forever and his
27:28
kingdom
27:30
of his kingdom there will be no end once
27:32
he comes in
27:34
and and mary has this dialogue dialogue
27:37
how can i know this i do not know a man
27:39
and so the angel said the holy spirit
27:41
will come upon you
27:42
and etc etc and so
27:45
she just said behold the maidservant of
27:47
the lord as verse 38 let it be
27:49
to me according to to your word
27:53
and again this goes on with the
27:55
shepherds when the shepherds get visited
27:57
there is i bring you glad tidings well
28:01
here’s what i want to point out to you
28:03
okay first of all already did said the
28:05
obvious he has the greatest
28:08
privilege of bringing uh the top line
28:11
news
28:12
you know he’s he’s he the most
28:14
privileged role
28:15
is to be able to be one who brings the
28:17
communication of god to earth
28:19
and so he does and he announces it in
28:21
the spirit of good news he doesn’t want
28:23
any fear associated with it
28:25
and he’s like no no no don’t be afraid
28:27
be happy rejoice you’re favored here are
28:30
the good things
28:31
can you imagine the good news of john
28:34
the baptist
28:36
the son that you know elizabeth and
28:39
zechariah zechariah get to find out
28:41
their son
28:41
is going to be he who announces jesus
28:43
what a privilege and honor
28:45
and so he’s told all about that how
28:47
great he will
28:48
he will be he’ll be filled with the holy
28:50
spirit even from his womb but let’s
28:51
notice what he didn’t say
28:54
he did not say but you know i need to
28:57
also be real with you
28:58
just prepare for this uh you know
29:01
there’s going to be
29:03
uh he’s going to be rejected by the
29:05
pharisees and ultimately he’s going to
29:07
be beheaded
29:08
herod’s daughter is going to ask for his
29:10
head and he’s going to you know he’s
29:11
gonna die young
29:12
and um there are gonna be no children
29:15
from him
29:16
and so just sorry but you know just need
29:19
to prepare
29:20
and it’s important if i point that out
29:22
to you because sometimes we think it’s a
29:23
great value in the body of christ well
29:25
we need to keep it real
29:26
we need to tell what the enemy is doing
29:28
we need to tell the bad or it’s not
29:30
you know it’s not really the full
29:33
picture
29:34
well god considers it the full picture
29:36
enough to feed us
29:37
good news even your prophetic words
29:39
you’ll find out very often
29:41
your prophetic words will um
29:44
you know they will not tell you the
29:46
struggles you’re going to go through
29:47
whether whatever whether it’s into being
29:50
an apostle or a prophet or something or
29:53
prosperity uh you know you’re about to
29:55
prosper what’s what’s the first thing
29:57
that usually happens after you get a
29:59
great word on
30:00
prospering it’s a huge financial test
30:02
and if you get a word on the apostle the
30:04
great apostle you’re called to be
30:06
and it’s really him telling you this is
30:08
now why you’re going to
30:09
uh you know it’s going to
30:12
the hell’s going to get beat out of you
30:14
right now for the next little bit
30:16
so he doesn’t tell you that that’s just
30:17
part of what uh
30:19
it’s it’s the process that’s there as
30:21
well he covers it all in this world you
30:22
will have tribulation
30:23
but be of good cheer it still be of good
30:25
cheer i have overcome the world see
30:27
that’s the spirit of communication god
30:29
is communicator
30:30
it’s yeah in this world you have
30:32
tribulation again nobody likes to put
30:33
that one on the refrigerator
30:35
but be of good cheer i have overcome i
30:38
have overcome the world
30:40
and so that’s that’s the joy we we
30:42
participate that’s what we live out of
30:44
the narrative we live out and we have to
30:46
choose to live
30:47
out of that that narrative and again
30:49
back to the obvious of gabriel again
30:51
this amazing
30:53
uh angel archangel and again he rules
30:56
over uh he’s he you know he brings all
30:58
the important messages and
31:00
i believe he’s the ruler over the
31:01
mountain of media and then he comes to
31:04
to mary and says wow you are favored
31:06
you’re going to carry the messiah
31:07
the son of god can you imagine can you
31:10
imagine receiving that news the best
31:12
news ever told the human being on planet
31:14
earth you know
31:15
but again notice what he doesn’t tell
31:17
her he doesn’t say no i need to prepare
31:19
you
31:19
because uh don’t even think about
31:21
grandchildren you’re going to have none
31:23
with him in fact you’re going to watch
31:24
him die again similar to the
31:27
the dynamic there with john the baptist
31:29
he is going to be hated by all your
31:31
pastors right now essentially
31:33
because that’s what the pharisees
31:34
scribes and high priests and so let me
31:36
just go ahead and prepare you mary
31:38
he’s going to be hated by all your
31:39
spiritual leaders and
31:41
and and then even families going to
31:43
misjudge him
31:45
and so it it just that’s not
31:47
communication
31:48
style of heaven that’s not the kingdom
31:51
way
31:52
of doing things and so that’s part of
31:54
what
31:55
our study in goddess communicator is
31:57
designed to do is to upgrade our
31:59
processing
32:00
upgrade our prioritization of the good
32:02
news again you go back to the story
32:04
of caleb and the ten spies caleb and
32:07
joshua and the ten spies what’s called
32:08
good spies and bad spies
32:10
what’s a good spy and a bad spy a bad
32:12
spies one that just tells you all the
32:14
challenges coming up and the good spy he
32:17
told you only the good
32:18
and he recognized the challenges that
32:20
were there yeah i see them
32:22
because the ten spies were talking about
32:24
the sons of anak and the hittites and
32:26
the gergeshites and the jebusites and
32:28
all
32:28
we were like grasshoppers before them
32:31
and and uh we can’t do this we got to go
32:33
back and
32:34
and caleb’s like no no no look look at
32:36
the grapes how big there’s a land that
32:38
flows with milk and honey and god has
32:40
said you’ll go with us
32:42
let’s do this now yeah i see them and
32:44
there are other ones yelling don’t you
32:45
see that
32:46
yeah there will be bread for us and so
32:48
that’s the perspective of god as
32:50
communicator and that’s the spirit
32:52
we want to be enveloped in if we want to
32:54
have a meaningful assignment on the
32:56
mountain of media we have to be able to
32:58
process and carry things that way
33:00
and even report things in that kind of
33:02
way it’s not about ignoring
33:03
again caleb didn’t ignore that there
33:05
were giants there he just knew how to
33:07
put them in proper perspective they will
33:10
be bred
33:11
for us so
33:14
let’s see how far along i’ve gone well
+++
