Transcript [00:07] Guys, I have a secret to tell you. [00:10] Don't worry, it's not something bad. I [00:12] promise. But, uh, well, it's more of a [00:14] confession. When I was a kid, a baby, I [00:17] was given a blanket, a small blankie, [00:19] and I actually slept with it till I was [00:21] probably 10 or 11. Did you know about [00:23] this? I knew something. No, but there's [00:26] there's a story. There's a story. Well, [00:28] it's actually it was my dad's. He was [00:30] given it by his mom when he was a baby [00:33] and he's had it through his childhood. I [00:35] don't know till when, but his mom kept [00:37] it after he finished gave it up and she [00:40] kept it till I was born and they passed [00:42] he my dad passed it on to me. So, as a [00:44] kid, it was something very special to [00:45] me. I I slept with it all the time. I [00:47] would even play with it and do dressing [00:49] up and things. But by the end of like [00:52] when I gave it up, it was literally [00:54] falling apart. Like it was dissolving. [00:56] It was like a rag that it was [00:58] disgusting. It was terrible. That's [01:00] that's what people say. You know, one [01:02] man's trash is someone else's treasure. [01:05] That's exactly. But you know, each one [01:07] has things like that in life, you know, [01:09] like things you value that others don't [01:11] actually value. You know, like even a [01:13] picture of someone you love, you look at [01:15] it and oh, it's so precious. But for [01:18] someone who doesn't know him, it's like [01:20] piece of paper, you know, like trash. [01:22] That's true. Yeah. That that's what [01:24] makes something precious. It's when you [01:25] have like a a connection and especially [01:27] when it becomes a heart connection, it's [01:29] like it's very precious. Yeah. Or if [01:31] it's maybe something like that's rare or [01:34] not very common like it's a one of a [01:36] kind thing. Yeah. When especially when [01:38] it's irreplaceable like this blankie and [01:40] there's no other blankie like it. I [01:43] haven't found another one. It's good. [01:47] Please don't search for one. But um yeah [01:50] actually something becomes really [01:52] valuable to you only after you see the [01:55] worth of it because you can see some [01:58] object you can see some person and you [02:00] know have nothing towards it but when [02:03] your eyes are open to the value of it [02:05] then it becomes precious to you right it [02:07] reminds me of the Hebrew word for worthy [02:09] something that has worth is is and it [02:12] comes from the word to to see something [02:15] you can't value or say something has a [02:17] worth if you have not seen seen it. So, [02:20] for what it is, yeah, that actually [02:22] reminds me of when Yeshua was going to [02:25] the temple and his attention, his eyes [02:27] get caught by this this woman, this old [02:31] this woman that she's coming to give uh [02:34] two small coins, two small little coins. [02:36] And he sees this and this really catches [02:39] him. It moves his heart. Even though [02:40] there was probably many different [02:42] people, probably rich people coming to [02:43] give their big tithes and donations, but [02:47] actually his eyes were caught by this [02:49] lady that only had two coins to give. He [02:51] sees and it moves his heart. Yeah. And [02:55] he's not silent about it. He actually [02:56] says to those around him, he said, "This [02:58] this woman, she gave everything." And [03:00] even though it was small, others giving [03:03] a lot, he knew it was so valuable to [03:06] him. And it seemed like this was not [03:10] such a valuable, you know, gift. It was [03:13] worthless gift. Yeah. But to him, it was [03:15] so valuable. It's beautiful. And I think [03:18] a lot of the times we're unaware of how [03:20] precious or valuable we are in the sight [03:23] of the Lord. He is the one that really [03:25] does see and and he considers what [03:28] others may think is worthless, even us. [03:30] And he he sees and he loves us for who [03:32] we really are. and he was willing to [03:34] die. I think sometimes our faith and [03:36] love is as fragile and small as these [03:40] two coins, but he sees the value of it [03:43] like he saw that woman. Wow. And Yeshua [03:46] like actually paid the price for that. [03:48] He paid the price for us. He didn't look [03:51] for discounts or an easy way out. He [03:54] came and he died. M and that's [03:58] he he sees that in us like he sees the [04:01] worth of our lives, our souls, our [04:03] hearts worthy enough of giving his whole [04:07] life. Yeah. And it's unbelievable. And I [04:10] think it's you cannot counterfeit this [04:13] kind of love like there is a certain [04:16] amount of love you can fake. You can oh [04:18] I love you and smile but not to the po [04:22] not to the point of death. You cannot [04:24] fake love until you die. you know then [04:26] that's not very normal. It's not love. [04:28] It's it's psychopath you know but [04:31] actually Yeshua he went all the way to [04:35] declare his love the most rare kind of [04:38] love the most unique kind of love which [04:41] makes it the most precious the most [04:43] worthy thing you can have. Yeah, it [04:46] reminds me of I mean just actors, you [04:49] know, famous people that they can fake [04:52] uh roles and emotions and feelings, if [04:54] it's joy, if it's love, but these are [04:57] fake things that they're, you know, [04:58] masquerading and eventually it will [05:01] fade. It won't last if you're faking it. [05:02] It won't last if you're faking it. But [05:04] the moment is something a value or that [05:06] has a worth. It's harder to fake, you [05:08] know, something that can't really be [05:10] fake. Cheap things are fakeable. [05:13] expensive things are much more [05:15] difficult, hard to find. Yeah. Yeah. [05:17] There's a story in the book of [05:19] Revelation, right? There's John and he [05:21] is he's crying. He's he's really crying [05:23] because there's this book that's sealed [05:26] and the the the angel is asking, "Is [05:29] there anyone worthy? Is there anyone [05:31] worthy to open this book?" And and and [05:33] there was no one actually. It says no [05:36] one in heaven. There was no one worthy. [05:38] No one on earth. There was no one [05:40] worthy. And that's why John is like [05:43] crying his eyeballs out. He's like [05:45] crying. It says he cried a lot, you [05:47] know. Yeah. And then an elder walks up [05:50] to John and he says there is one found [05:52] worthy. And he says he is the lion of [05:54] Judah. He is the lamb of God and he is [05:56] Yeshua and he is the worthy one to open [05:58] up the scroll. Amen. Amen. Amen. Yeah. [06:01] So like there's no nothing can be unseen [06:04] by God. He sees it all and like no one [06:06] could just come up and be like, "Oh, I [06:08] am worthy. I am the one to open the [06:10] scroll. Like no, if you're not worthy, [06:12] you're not worthy. It wouldn't open. It [06:14] wouldn't open. It wouldn't work. Only [06:16] Yeshua was the one worthy. Only he could [06:19] open it. And he comes and he opens. And [06:21] then you have this big response of the [06:23] angels and the elders bowing down and [06:25] worshiping. Nobody told them to do that. [06:28] Like they just look at the situation. [06:30] Someone is worthy, you know. And he took [06:32] the book and he's like, "Oh, you are [06:34] worthy to receive blessing and honor, [06:36] glory, and power." And it's nobody told [06:38] them say this. It just came out of them [06:41] as a response. Yeah. Worship is is [06:43] always a response to God. It's not [06:45] something when we understand who he is. [06:48] We don't have to work it up and [06:49] manufacture it. It will flow naturally [06:51] as a response because we have [06:53] revelation. Yeah. [06:56] Yeah. It's it's I think it's the key. I [06:58] mean, the more that we have he is [07:02] precious, the more that we see that he [07:04] is precious, that he is worthy, right? [07:05] the more that we will respond in these [07:08] acts of worship and praise and and it's [07:11] true also with friends you know like the [07:13] more someone is close to you dear to you [07:16] will do much more for him if someone you [07:18] love calls you in the middle of the [07:19] night can you come help me you're like [07:22] okay I love him you know'll do it but if [07:24] a stranger you know is like can we talk [07:27] you're like no you don't even answer [07:29] tomorrow I don't know in a week but yeah [07:32] the more valuable someone is to you the [07:35] more you will be willing to do for him [07:38] to go out of the way to worship in God's [07:40] case. Amen. And I think there is a [07:43] battle over our worship and over this [07:45] natural um because of revelation and [07:47] different circumstances just in life. [07:49] But whenever we are we find ourselves in [07:52] these situations where it's a fight, you [07:54] know, to praise and to to worship. [07:55] That's that's the point where we choose [07:58] to fight the flesh to deny the flesh and [08:00] ask the Lord for a fresh revelation. [08:01] Lord, show me how precious you really [08:03] are so that I see you, so that I may [08:06] worship you. Yeah. Yeah. The more [08:08] precious that God becomes to us, we we [08:11] really it just won't be easier to follow [08:13] him, to obey him. And we need to ask if [08:16] it's difficult for us, if we're [08:17] struggling with this, you know, back to [08:20] that word worthy that has to do with [08:22] being seen, being able to see God. [08:24] Sorry. Yeah. [08:26] Worthy. If we don't see him for who he [08:28] is, we will struggle. But he can give us [08:31] that revelation and we can love him [08:34] more. There is a story about this guy [08:36] who found the treasure. Yeshua is [08:37] telling it and he's like he found a [08:39] treasure you know. So he's like going [08:41] home to I don't know his wife whatever. [08:42] I'm expanding but he's like we are [08:44] selling everything. We are giving up [08:46] everything and we are going to buy this [08:49] field where this treasure is because I [08:52] found the most precious thing you know. [08:56] Yeah. And I think it's the most valid [08:58] question that we can ask any believer. [09:00] Have you found this treasure in him? Is [09:03] he precious to you that you would be [09:04] willing to give up to sell everything [09:06] for him? Yeah. And Paul, he writes about [09:09] this in the Philippians. He says, I [09:10] count it all as loss. Everything. [09:15] Everything is worthless compared [09:17] compared to knowing Yeshua, Messiah, [09:20] Messiah Yeshua, his worth, who he is. [09:23] There's nothing more. Yeah. Yeah, [09:25] because when you value something, it it [09:28] changes you. It changes you. And so when [09:30] we value God, it it'll change our [09:33] emotions. It'll change our priorities. [09:34] It it'll it'll just be a powerful force [09:37] in our life. And and I think it takes me [09:41] back to the first commandment where we [09:43] are we're called and commanded to love [09:44] the Lord our God with all of our mind, [09:46] soul, spirit, strength, and all that we [09:49] are, but also to love our neighbors as [09:51] oursel. And we cannot love I cannot love [09:55] anyone and not especially the Lord if I [09:58] do not have a revelation a fresh daily [10:00] revelation of who he is. He is the one [10:02] that reveals and it's this natural flow [10:05] that it's rooted in the revelation like [10:06] he loved us first that that's like the [10:09] starting point to it all and and we we [10:11] see it in Ephesians 3 when when Paul [10:14] talks about um being rooted and grounded [10:17] in this love like understanding the the [10:19] love that the the height and the depths [10:22] and the width and the length of this [10:24] love that we can't understand that [10:26] surpasses all knowledge and how can we [10:28] understand something that's absurd how [10:30] how that's beyond How to know something [10:32] you cannot know you know but I think the [10:35] answer is by revelation by experience [10:37] you know like the moment I taste and see [10:42] maybe I don't know how to explain it but [10:43] I tasted and I've seen you know I [10:45] received this revelation and I think we [10:48] need to pray that we will have this [10:50] revelation of how precious he is that [10:53] actually we can ask him aba I we just [10:55] ask you to make yourself more precious [10:59] in our eyes that we will see you that [11:02] you are unique that you are kadosh [11:05] kadosh kadosh you are set apart you are [11:07] something completely else and like this [11:10] verse aba that we will count everything [11:12] as loss compared to to knowing Yeshua to [11:16] to you are so worthy and I just ask you [11:19] Lord that you will remove any false [11:21] perception and give us new revelation [11:24] God and I thank you yes like Sandra was [11:27] saying that it changes everything When [11:30] you are more precious in our eyes, our [11:33] desires are changing, our emotions are [11:35] changing. And that is what we are [11:37] asking. Lord, make yourself more [11:39] precious in our eyes. We thank you God [11:42] for the revelation of your love, of your [11:44] wisdom, of your power. In the name of [11:47] Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen. Amen. [11:50] Amen. Amen.
