Restoration's Dominant Factor Part 2: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:08 That’s the way we can look at oursel. That’s the way we can look at others. Others can look at us that way. But when God gets through with us, they’re going to rejoice just like these people did. See their doubt, their embarrassment for her they were embarrassed for her they disrespected her with their snicker, you know, little snicker grin and all they people in the audience all the rest. And that’s exactly what happens in our life. We start out at a small beginning, the foundation and people laugh at us because a lot of Christians come and go because they come for the wrong reason. See, and so they just put us in that category. But you give God time and those people will say, “Wow, that really works for you.

▶ 1:07 That really works for you.” Hallelujah. Isn’t that a good illustration? Do not give up on yourself and don’t ever think God’s going to mature you overnight. The Pentecostal circles are wrong. That I I am in. There’s no magical prayer and shake and that’s going to change you overnight. It is a process little by little, line upon line, precept on precept. Amen. And it’s the Holy Ghost that will do that. Now, getting back to Ozac verse 11, what are these two olive trees? Now he says, “Okay, [clears throat] I want to know specifically what the two olives are about.” Trees is something you can put there if you want. Okay.

▶ 2:00 [clears throat] Up on the right and left side of the candlestick. Now, this candlestick is designed exactly like the candlestick in Moses’s tabernacle in Solomon’s temple. And Solomon had 10 of them. All right? Exactly like it. But in these temples, how did the lamp stay burning? The Levites had to go to the olive tree and get the olive. They had to squeeze those olives and get the oil out. They took the container to the house of God. And when the lamps were down, they poured it in. They had to trim the wick. Everything in that house was done by human beings. And what did Zach tell us? Not by human ability, not by human strength, not by wealth, not by military power, but [clears throat] by my spirit.

▶ 2:54 I’m going to do this. This house that I’m going to build. The house that Zechariah is building is only an example of the house that Jesus is going to build. Hallelujah. And so it’s the same one. But in this one, men can’t put the oil in the lamps. They don’t even go get the fruit and squeeze it. They don’t even plant the tree. God’s going to do it all. Watch this. [clears throat] He asked again. He didn’t even give the angel time to answer. He asked again and he changes his statement. Watch. Are you watching? He changes his statement from olive.

▶ 3:46 [clears throat] What be these two olive branches? He changes the word which means streams. And streams fit in here. And I’ll show you why. The context of the sentence is streams. There are two streams, okay? Through which the two gold pipes empty the oil out of what? Themselves. So there is a continual what? Flow of oil through these two pipes right here and right here to this bowl. This other spring. Are you there? I tell you, Zach’s Zach’s getting some hot stuff here. [clears.

▶ 4:37 You see? Throat] So, we got a springs emptying out into this spring and then into the candlestick that’s in the house of God. All right. Remember, it’s not by power nor by not by might nor by power, but by my spirit. See, now we know this is all ran by heaven. No human involvement. And that’s our problem in America right now. Humans have gotten involved. So then he tells them who the two olives are. The two streams. These are the two what? Wrong word. You guys ever study your Bible?

▶ 5:30 See, oil is used to anoint. So, you can put anointed here, but it isn’t that. Anoint is to set apart. If you know the word anoint in the Bible, it’s to set apart for the master’s use. David was anointed by oil. He was set apart to be king, prophet, and priest. This word is not anointed. It is oil sons or sons of oil. Duh. That fits the context of the subject, doesn’t it? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Okay, watch. And these are the two sons of oil that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

▶ 6:23 Where are these two sons at? They’re right where God is in heaven. Okay. Now, if we find who’s standing before God, we can find out who these sons of oil are. Acts 2:32, Jesus being by the right hand of God, exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this which you see now and you hear now. Where is Jesus? The right hand of the father. Okay. What did he receive? What did Jesus receive? The Holy Ghost. If I give you $100, what do you have? Can you share that anywhere you want? Yeah.

▶ 7:17 The only thing is my $100 will only spend $100. This is an endless stream. Got it? See, if I give him [clears throat] a a checking account with endless money in it, then he’s got what they’re talking about. Are you there? And this was said on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost was poured out. So who sent the Holy Ghost to shed abroad the tongues speak in the mighty works of God? Who did it? Jesus. Why? Because it’s his to do. So I submit to you, if Jesus is standing before the presence of God and he was given the Holy Spirit by God to shed forth as he desires, then who is with Jesus before the father?

▶ 8:26 The Holy Ghost. Man, you’re smart people. Hallelujah. Now, [clears throat] Acts 7:56, Stephen, when he was dying, they were stoning him. And he says, “I see the son of God, the son of man, Jesus Christ, standing at the right hand of God.” So, who’s standing up there? Jesus. Is the Holy Ghost standing with him? Jesus. Could that be the two sons of oil? It could be. And they have an endless supply flowing into the church. Continuous. Watch this. Hebrews 9:11, Christ being a high priest of good things to come. I told you the old things were an illustration, a shadow of the right things, the real things to come. And who’s the high priest of the church?

▶ 9:18 Jesus. Not of the Levitical priesthood, but the Melchzdc priesthood. Okay? By a greater and more perfect tabernacle. See, he is building a spiritual house. He’s building a church. He’s building us. And not made with hands. And what did Zechariah say or the or the angel said to Zechariah, not by might, not by spirit, not by human abilities, not by human strength. I’m going to build my church. And that’s exactly what it says in Hebrews. He’s building a building not made with hands. Those other temples were an example of what was to come. Now, Hebrews 9:24, Christ has not entered into the holy place made with hands. He did never went into the temple and he had a right to.

▶ 10:11 He had a right to go into the holy of holies, but he had nothing to do with those shadow things. He was the fulfillment of them. So, he wouldn’t dare go in there. Those were puny examples. See, they were illustrations that the Jews worshiped instead of God and his work. They worshiped the shadow laws. They worshiped the illustration instead of getting the real thing that the illustration pointed to. Is that possible we can do that in America? Is it possible we can make a God out of a children’s program, a youth program, a senior citizens program, and an exercise program, and all this stuff that America’s doing? And no power which are the figures of the true.

▶ 11:06 But he went into heaven itself. He plainly tells us there that this house that Zechariah talked about was an example, a shadow, a figure, a model of the real thing. And it’s going to be built by the spirit, not man’s strength, abilities, or anything else. Jesus and that the Holy Ghost is going to do this thing. Hallelujah. And said that should give you hope and encouragement. It’s not dependent on you getting in some 12step program and trying to psychoanalyze yourself. It’s the it’s this power, this gold oil, that valuable oil that’s flowing into the church continually. That’s right. I submit to you Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the two olives emptying all from themselves to our bowl.

▶ 12:03 And I’m going to give you the scripture for it. John 7:38. He that believes on me, now you got to understand this is the same phrase he used for John 3:16. He that believeth on me shall not perish but have everlasting life. They raise it up in football games and all the rest. This the scripture heard around the world. The same introduction is here. He that believes on me not only will have eternal life but out of his belly shall flow rivers, streams is the right uh definition there of living water. This spake of what? The spirit. Not by might but by spirit. And that spirit is where? In us.

▶ 12:54 We have a bowl in us. We have a spring in us that Jesus and the Holy Ghost is connecting with us. And we have a a perpetual flow of the life of Christ and the wisdom and the knowledge and the things of the spirit in us all the time. And see, we could just go to church. So, here’s some puny, inspirational, motivational, nothing scripture that we can’t handle. And God is offering us these true riches. You see, he called it the golden oil, the valuable oil at the end. This Holy Spirit in us, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given. And all you have to do is believe.

▶ 13:46 What is your problem, believers? Why do you stay stuck in babyhood when God has offered you so much? Because you’ve been taught by these people that you need them when you need this indwelling of the Holy Spirit. WOW, THAT WAS GOOD. AMEN. HALLELUJAH. NOW, John 4:14, “Whoever drinks of this water,” what water? Spirit that [clears throat] I give him will never thirst. Wow. Why are Christians always up and down, up and down, dry and dry and dryer, dryer and drier? This stream. You never what?

▶ 14:38 Thirst again. You’re always you got that life flowing into you and you use the patience. You use self-control and you keep mo moving toward the mark of the high calling of God. You don’t let your mistakes get you down. You don’t let people’s accusations get you down. You just keep moving toward the goal, the the the the divine nature. Hallelujah. But it will be in him a well springing up. That’s the bowl. It springs up within us. Hallelujah. Are you getting this? I tell you, Zechariah is powerful. This restoration of God’s house is powerful. Now, the Holy Spirit’s referred to as a person, not a thing, not a it.

▶ 15:37 And it’s referred to all over, but I I got this verse because it just keeps repeating. He’s a person. All right. When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth. For he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he shall show you things to come. He will glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and give it to you. Is he a person? Is he standing before God. With Jesus? Could they be the two olives. That Zach saw? And it’s the reality in the church, the Holy Ghost and Jesus working with us to bring us to the divine nature of God. Hallelujah. That makes marriages work.

▶ 16:32 That will profit your children. That causes children to grow up in a balanced way. Young people Not by might, nor by power, but by what? My spirit. Hallelujah. If a man love me, he will keep my words. Look at this. I want to show you the trinity and the importance of it. See, the Holy Ghost has a ministry. You need to know what he does. Jesus has a ministry. You need to know what he does. Who do [clears throat] you go to for salvation? For example,. Jesus, of Jesus. Course. [clears throat] Who’s going to come and convict you of sin, righteousness, and the judgment to come? The Holy Spirit. See, God divides himself into these three areas so we can understand because we’re we’re thickheaded.

▶ 17:29 It’s so he can understand. Hallelujah. So when we preach the word, who will back up the word and bring conviction to people? The Holy Spirit. You see, if a man love me, he will keep my words and my father will love him and we will come and make our abode in him. So he not only wants the Holy Ghost in you, if you continue in his word, you won’t just have the Holy Ghost. You’re gonna have Jesus and the father himself abiding in you, man. Now you got some power. Amen. What’s one of the important things of the father? Well, it’s simply this. He, a father’s one that births.

▶ 18:25 Number two, [clears throat] no man, Jesus said, comes unto me unless the father draws him, drags him, pulls him. See, now what’s that? Why is that important? Because when Obama and Bush Jr. And Oprah Winfrey said that all roads lead to the same God, and they plainly said, Jesus is just your way. Other people have other ways. They are lying through their teeth because God, if you really have this, God will direct you to Jesus Christ. That’s right. See, they’re lying to you. And Americans believe it. Americans are so ignorant of the Bible.

▶ 19:18 See, if Allah was a real God, he would be directing people to who? Jesus. And Amen. No one comes unto the father but by. Me, Jesus said. So, you can’t get to God without Jesus. And you can’t get to Jesus without God. They’re unseparable. Don’t ever let anyone diminish who Jesus is. Don’t ever let anyone trick you into believing this nonsense out of emotion, sympathy. Well, I want the world to go to heaven, so I’m going to believe it. That ain’t going to get them into heaven. Jesus will get them into heaven. Amen.

▶ 20:10 Hallelujah. How many would like all three abiding in you? Do you notice the key here? Keep my words. The Holy Ghost is going to what? [clears throat] Open the word to you. Drive you to the word. And that word is going to bring you to a place as you respond to it where God himself and Jesus himself abides in you. Do you understand why it’s important to understand there is a triune God not three gods there or one God trying to express himself in three areas so you can understand and obtain things. Do you understand that? Yeah. There’s people that want to say that there isn’t a trinity.

▶ 21:03 You know, their trinity is not in the Bible, but it really does explain what God is trying to teach us about the Godhead. And did Stephen see two people when he saw when he looked up in heaven? Did he see two people? Yeah, he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father. Amen. And you know it because he’s got the nail scars in his hands, the split in his sides, the thorn scars in his head. You’ll know who he is when you get up there because it’s the God part that died for us. Are you there? Now, he’s offered us an eternal stream that flows straightly from heaven into us.

▶ 21:56 And why people want to argue about the Holy Ghost is just beyond me. I I just, you know, even if us Pentecostals made mistakes with it, why would we throw out a powerful inheritance in God because someone messed up? Did Judas mess up with salvation? Did he lose his salvation? Yeah. Do we stop believing in salvation? Okay, don’t throw it out because somebody says they get saved and they really get saved and then they go back and and then then we want to, you know, certain areas of the church want to say, “Well, it’s they never really believed in the first place.” That’s just like these Pentecostal divine healers that when it doesn’t work, they say, “Well, your faith, you know, you just don’t have the faith.” Always put the blame back on the person.

▶ 22:51 God’s word works. Can I hear an amen? And let me tell you, what kind of faith did that dead boy have of that widow that brought him back to life when Jesus rose him from the dead? He’s dead. He ain’t got no faith at all. And what faith did the woman have? Zero. See, God doesn’t need our help. He can do powerful things if we will just let him flow. Can I hear an amen? Bible morality, the goal of Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
