In Part 6 of the Open Door series, Keith Johnson speaks about “Inviting the Name In”. Throughout history both Jews and Christians have allowed fear, anger, and circumstances to separate them from God’s name. But our heavenly Father said He would bless every place where his name dwells. Johnson examines two “Gittites” who interacted with God’s name — Goliath the Gittite who cursed it, and Obededom the Gittite who received the Name into his home. Johnson exhorts Christian listeners to be ambassadors of the name, and for the sake of the Jew first, to proclaim it to the world so that the house of Israel may be blessed and restored. Be like Obededom, “the Gittite who got it right!”
Inviting the Name In with Keith Johnson (Open Door Series Part 6)

Keith: Now I’m supposed to speak. And so what I’m going to need to happen is for the Creator of the universe to speak through me. I’m going to need the one who introduced Himself on the mountain at the time of Shavuot to once again introduce Himself personally to His people. It has been very difficult for me to see the response amongst those who call themselves the people of God, one of God’s special ones. It’s been hard for me to be associated with an entire religious movement that will not welcome one of God’s special possessions into their buildings to teach the Bible that they don’t even know about. It’s been hard for me to then be amongst those who call themselves Messianics, who at many times only want the fruit but not the labor.
So for me, after ten years - nine years with my friend, Nehemia, and my 10th Shavuot - I am tired. And that’s probably a good time for the Holy Spirit.
It says “They rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; therefore, He turned Himself to become their enemy. He fought against them.” History is being repeated. The Holy Spirit is being grieved again. Oh, I like that it’s so quiet in here, because I know you all understand that right now, after hearing what I heard with Nehemia, I was a wreck. Michael Rood was holding me up, I didn’t think I was going to be able to stand. But you can just say- Keith, say, “Keith”.
Audience: Keith.
Keith: Have a seat.
Audience: Have a seat.
Keith: Yes, Keith, have a seat. Spirit of the Living God [applause] - stand up and tell somebody the truth. The Scripture goes on in verse 11 to say this, “Then His people remembered the days of old.” And then it uses this wonderful word, Moshe. I love Moses. I love Moshe. I love his very life. I love his very walk. I love that Moshe found himself just being born in the world and found himself amongst the Egyptians. I love that Moshe grew up in the house of Pharaoh. And some of you, if you saw Moshe, you would say, “We can’t listen to him, because he’s in the house of Pharaoh.” But you don’t realize that the Creator of the universe has a plan for the Moses’s of the world that are still in the house of Pharaoh. [applause]
The reason He’s got them there is He’s preparing them, He’s molding them, He’s shaping them, He’s using them, so that one day, maybe nine or ten Shavuots later they’re willing to stand up and tell Pharaoh, “No more.”

Something happened, I’m able to watch it now. HalleluYah.
I can’t watch the 6th episode! It’s the only one of the series. We have a company here in Germany called “GEMA”. They create problems for viewers the watch Videos on youtube on grounds of “copyright infringement” They always claim that the video “MAY” contain music from artists which haven’t given permission to incorporate their music into videos. But why this video? Could somebody help me?
What a blessing it has been watching you today – שלום האחים שלי
Nehemia i was in tears listening to you a number of times over the last two days. My prayers for you both my brothers in His living word.
After following you over the past 5 years i believe i have seen a major transformation in you both. Keith, you have found His Truth and still have Mashiach ben Yosef as your guide, and Nehemia, you have moved with His Ruach HaKodesh and He has changed your spirit to one that shows the love and kindness i new you already had….

If you use this….just a thought……maybe for more of a tease, it could read, “Obededom the Gittite who “got it right.”
In Part 6 of the Open Door series, “Inviting the Name In,” Keith Johnson teaches that Jews and Christians throughout history, and even King David, have allowed fear, anger, and circumstances to separate them from God’s name. But our heavenly Father said he would bless all places where his name dwells. Johnson examines two “Gittites” who interacted with God’s name—Goliath the Gittite who cursed it, and Obededom the Gittite who received it into his home. Johnson exhorts Christian listeners to be ambassadors of the name, and for the sake of the Jew first, to proclaim it to the world so that the house of Israel may be blessed and restored.
