excerpt from Joseph Prince calm
let’s look at some scriptures hebrews
chapter 5 the Bible says of home in
regards to Melchizedek I just told you
God called him Jesus according to the
order of Melchizedek is a quotation from
the Old Testament is the most frequent
quotation from the Old Testament in the
new this Melchizedek we have much to say
and hard to explain since you have
become dull of hearing so this personage
of Melchizedek our high priest who is
our Lord Jesus Christ I believe that he
appeared to Abraham is one of those
things I believe the pre-internet
appearance of Christ before he came as a
baby before he came in a new testament
okay it’s a pre-incarnate appearance of
christ he met Abraham when Abram came
back from the slaughter of the kings and
Abram came back with spoils and
Melchizedek met him and the Bible says
to the believers the Hebrew Hebrew
believers Jewish believers we have many
things to say about this person actually
this person of Melchizedek but it’s hard
to explain because you are dull of
hearing Ford or by this time you ought
to be teachers you need someone to teach
you again the first framed principles of
the Oracles of God you’ve come to need
milk and not solid food so I’m gonna
test you today whether whether you are
ready for milk or solid whether you’re
ready for solid food or you’re settling
for milk so once again don’t forget my
message today is really for people who
have gone beyond milk the Bible says the
truth about Melchizedek is for mature
people so forgive me the rest of you you
can sleep all right so I’ll be ready so
let’s go to the story itself in Genesis
chapter 14 the Bible says this
Melchizedek king of Salem and by the way
this that Shalom completeness he’s a
king his name means king of
righteousness and he’s the king of this
city called Shalom which means health
wholeness peace well-being is that great
Jesus ashes you into the city and he
brought out bread and wine say bread and
wine what is that
communion for you to get Brett Brett
you’re gonna you’re gonna pound it
you’re gonna need it you’re gonna you
know squeeze it and then you gonna bake
it in the oven that’s the process of our
Lord Jesus Christ before he can feed us
before he can become a bread of life he
went to the beating that scourging so
that he becomes food for you full of
life itself man another life and nothing
about your heart beating
boop-boop-boop-boop all right that’s
existence hunting a life Jesus do not
come to give you like a loss and more
loss he came to give you life and life
more abundant got nothing to do how much
you have how much money you have how
many cars you drive and how many palaces
or castles you have okay I thought I
might just say that in England but the
question of life abundant that’s what
Jesus came to hear if he’s the bread of
life wine how do you get wine by the way
bread and wine wine all right you gotta
in those days they step on it they gotta
crush it our Lord Jesus was crushed his
blood came out you know we we did the
most wicked thing this side of heaven
we took God’s Son the son that God loved
God they don’t give us an angel he gave
us his son and we took him and we nailed
him on the cross God gave us Jesus who
went about doing good healing all that
were oppressed of the devil love
children amen love sinners cleanse the
leper and we took him and we nail him on
the cross is as if we are telling God
this is what we think of your son God on
the other hand took the cross and made
it the greatest demonstration of
salvation and redemption for sinful men
we’ll never know how much we are loved
by God just like my son Justin
I have a son tree 3 years+ and it’s
great thank you it’s really good-looking
lady’s dead I guess mom he looks more
likes mom thank God
but Justin will never know how much I
love him he loves his dad
but how me understand those of you who
have children even grown children when
they had their own den they begin to
have a glimpse of how much you loved him
the vertical love the descending love is
always greater then they are sending
love you never know how much God loves
you just take it by faith he loves you
amen so the Bible says he brought bread
and wine pictures of the communion I can
tell his stories in my church you can go
to Joseph Prince calm and see
testimonies of the testimonies of people
that were given a terrible prognosis of
their medical condition and they took
communion like medicine every day new
numerous testimonies you know like they
take medicine three times a day they’ll
take communion three times a day you
don’t need a priest Jesus your high
priests amen and you take it by faith
the Bible says for this reason not
discerning the Lord’s body not
understanding the Lots body was broken
for our our healing for this reason
singular not reasons alright for this
reason many are weak sick and sleep they
die before their time in the church I
kind of wish it insane many in the
church like this many for one reason why
many believers are weak
it’s a process we sick and they die
prematurely is because they are not
discerning the Lord’s body
they take the lost communion like like
for example some believe that you know
in transubstantiation we had extreme and
some just the guest completely symbolic
but we take the Lord’s body discern his
body was broken that your body might be
put back together you need to take my
medicine take it take it as often as you
can
amen and if that if you did if you
discern the Lord’s body instead of wit
you become strong instead of sick you
become healthier instead of dying
prematurely you’ll live long and I don’t
tell what people take the meaning it
that way they get younger and younger
and younger amen
they be like eh they are under the
blessing of Abraham so that’s the first
thing that happens Melchizedek brought
to Abraham after the battle the Abram
went through Abram was obviously tired
all right with his men and Abram met
this personage this amazing man his
first appearance with Melchizedek which
we built I believe is the preincarnate
appearance of Christ he brought bread
and wine which is communion and he was
the priest of God Most High and he
blessed Abram and said blessed be Abram
of God Most High possessor of heaven and
earth and blessed be God Most High who
has delivered your enemies into your
hand friend the Melchizedek Priesthood
is not like the Levitical priesthood
later on under law Levitical priesthood
blesses you when you obey but it curses
you when you disobey there is a mixture
of blessing and a curse but you notice
Melchizedek first word is blessed be
Abraham blessed be John blessed be Mary
blessed be Robert Halle
whatever-your-name-is
blessed are you because Jesus Christ
today is not a high priest after the
order of Levi he’s the order of
Melchizedek there’s no blessing and
curse only blessing blessing and more
blessings he blesses men and he blesses
god hallelujah blessed big God Most High
he brought communion he asked me today a
pastor Prince if everything is done in
our worship is there anything that we
bring to God well Abraham gave us
something here and here is where some of
you can go to sleep all right because
it’s not for everybody I said this
teaching is not for everybody
Abram gave him a type of all this was
before the law all this was 450 years
before the law was given on Mount Sinai
the Ten Commandments are not yet given
no one put a gun on on to to Abraham’s
head and say give birth
he didn’t have to obviously had a
revelation and what ties here in Hebrew
here’s where the Hebrew comes in
alright means master say master you see
how the British accent you know master
is felt it by the way the Hebrew is read
from right to left this master man I in
chin rash Marcel reading from right to
left you see them the first letter there
makes it a noun okay now the last three
letters if you remove the noun
all right you have the word as their as
their the last three letters as their
means which the rich is in the tithe
someone people is a revelation it is
it’s not for everybody we said just now
I established the fact that this is
strong meat the problem is that pastors
and and people are trying to teach
tithing to baby Christians and many
times they don’t fully understand and
and and they feel like you’re trying to
get their money or whatever no listen
this is the Gideon Church
I’m not preaching this because I III
think that you’re needed I’m putting
this because you are mature this excerpt

[Music]
the Bible was written by by tax
collectors by fishermen by shepherds and
all that and it can be understood also
by people who are simple people like me
and you
[Music]
both Ananias and Sapphira were not
believers every time it mentions a
believer it says a certain disciple
every time it talks about unbelievers a
certain man or woman but faster friends
they they were in church they were among
the people there
yeah just like there are people who are
not believers with us all the time for
that matter in every Church around the
world the intent was to deceive God’s
people so actually this judgment is very
consoling for me because it tells me God
protects his own
[Music]
people tell you things like what about
tall tall suffered whatever part and as
long as you entertain post like this
without resolving them it will affect
your face the thing is this church come
on what you believe is so important so
if somebody saw six of doubt like well
what about Paul suffering so I want to
address Paul suffering because you know
it always keeps coming up Paul had a
choice
but faster praise don’t you know history
it tells us under Emperor Nero powers be
hated yeah don’t you know your Bible it
says that before he was be hated is this
Paul said I have kept the faith I have
finished the course I have run the race
he’s finished whatever God said him to
do
[Music]
people have a negative idea about
chastisement when actually the word here
in the Greek Old Testament in Hebrew New
Testament in Greek the Greek word for
chastisement is patio which means
Charles rain so throughout this entire
chapter when back of a child train all
right or chastening he’s talking about
ideal child train Amen training a child
I believe the primary way God
disciplines is the word if you have the
word God need not discipline any any
other way one of the ways God chastens
us is true circumstances again I repeat
not disease not sickness not disasters
not loss of a loved one discipline
doesn’t keep you righteousness
discipline brings out the fruit of your
right standing with God
