Holy Spirit, I yield to you that 74 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,840 if any error come up in me and you quicken me and I will be 75 00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,640 humbled enough to correct myself. 76 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:48,360 But we thank you from 100% truth revelation, uncompromising word 77 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:56,640 of God in Jesus name, Amen. Somebody shout out increase. 78 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,080 So at the end, we're going to have an opportunity. 79 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,600 That's why you see these baskets here. 80 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,080 We are a given church. We'll always be a giving church. 81 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,880 We are a generous church and we'll always be a generous 82 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:14,040 church. Those that think that that that 83 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,000 that desire to be generous, just say I'm I'm a generous giver. 84 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,760 Now generate being a generous giver. 85 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,440 I want you to understand generosity is a ministry. 86 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,840 It's a biblical ministry. It's a anointing, OK. 87 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,760 And generosity goes beyond giving when you feel like it, 88 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,200 right? Generous people see a need and 89 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,400 they fulfill it. Am I talking, am I talking All 90 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,560 right, Increase. We started this increase message 91 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,120 a couple weeks ago, I believe it was. 92 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:02,280 As we close the year and the acceleration and expansion of 93 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:06,720 the Kingdom, I'll start by saying that God has increased on 94 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,400 his mind. Amen, Amen, Amen. 95 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,840 Hey, good ground.

All right, all right, increase 98 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:30,160 Now having been asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of 99 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,560 God will come, he replied the Kingdom of God is not coming 100 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,040 with signs to be observed or with a visible display. 101 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:51,560 OK, just give me some pads. It's kind of busy here. 102 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,840 Here are these men and women asking for the Kingdom of God to 103 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,200 come and when how it's going to come and it's going to be this 104 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,280 big show, this big display. And the same way they miss Jesus 105 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,640 because they thought he was going to come in riding in a 106 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Cadillac with truths and vogues on it with gold chain, he a 107 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,200 king. And they thought he was going to 108 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,840 come in real fancy. So they couldn't believe this, 109 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,320 this, this, this savior's in a Manger. 110 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,280 They can't believe he riding in on this donkey. 111 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,520 They can't believe it because the king was packaged in 112 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,440 something that wasn't necessarily attractive. 113 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,240 He came in in an unattractive way and he left unattractive. 114 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,800 Right, so you're not going to always get from God like your 115 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,320 your blessing is not going to always come attractive. 116 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,320 Sometime you're going to have to go through some ugly seasons, 117 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,400 but within that ugliness is the blessing you've been praying 118 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,840 for, right?

That don't mean the Kingdom is 127 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,880 alive in your life. Do you want stuff or you want 128 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,159 the Kingdom? Do you want to influence people 129 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:36,000 because you got a lot of money or you want to influence people 130 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,960 because you got a Kingdom pouring out of you that is 131 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,480 irresistible. There's all kind of men. 132 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:52,560 The, the, the devil is influencing people right? 133 00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,120 In this desperate world, it's not hard to influence people, 134 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,320 but he says, look, here it is or there it is for the Kingdom of 135 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,120 God.

The Kingdom of God is among you 138 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:28,760 because of my what presence? Not PRESENT it. 139 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280 I don't care how lavish your life is. 140 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,920 I don't care what you drive. It does not say God's with you. 141 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,480 It does not say well done, thy good and faithful servant. 142 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,480 You got to go into this next year and stop being satisfied 143 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,520 with being religious when you don't even like religious 144 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,480 people. How are you religious? 145 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,920 You're a Christian, you come to church, but you don't follow 146 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Jesus. Do you know you can be a 147 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,160 Christian without following Jesus? 148 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,080 See, when people follow Jesus, you don't have to beg them to 149 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,400 follow vision. You don't have to call and ask 150 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,800 where they at. Because when you follow Jesus, 151 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,520 you follow his word. You don't have to beg for 152 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,480 offering. When you follow Jesus, you ask 153 00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:27,200 Jesus, where do you need me to give? 154 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,200 Some of you like I ain't heard from God about where to give. 155 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,920 Yeah, you have. Hello. 156 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,960 Elder John just spoke. Is he God? 157 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,760 No, he God's vessel. Because I guarantee you, 158 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,520 somebody walk up to you and hand you $1,000,000. 159 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 You ain't going to be like I ain't this, this ain't from God. 160 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:59,760 You going to say look at God? He says his Kingdom, guys, His 161 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,160 Kingdom, His Kingdom is here because of his presence. 162 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,360 The TPT says the Kingdom is not discovered in one place or 163 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:18,640 another where God's Kingdom realm is already expanding 164 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,960 within. Here it is some of you. 165 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,080 Where is it? Expanding. 166 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:38,120 You see how we didn't put the Kingdom into material thing, He 167 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,640 said. The Kingdom of God, the the 168 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:46,120 government of God, the presence of God is within you and it's 169 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:53,560 expanding, OK. This, this, this word expanding 170 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:59,640 speaks to impact and influence. So increase is on God's mind 171 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,000 because impact is on his mind. He wants his church to be 172 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,120 relevant. Without that word, relevant is a 173 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,920 tension point in the church because religious minds here, 174 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,600 when you say relevant, they hear compromise. 175 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,840 He don't mind like it now it's not just about material stuff, 176 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,920 but he don't mind if you wear Air Force ones. 177 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,840 Like I grew up with three piece suitsmens with Stacy Adams on, 178 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,600 but the toes was hurting by the end of the day. 179 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,840 Like man, wear some tennis shoes. 180 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,320 Listen, you even see basketball coaches now where the whole team 181 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,280 wears Nikes and they'll wear a suit. 182 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,560 You think they any less of a coach and it's any less of an 183 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:55,440 NBA. So with our religious selves, 184 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,400 you, you're not anymore Christian, you're not anymore 185 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,600 Muslim, you're not anymore Hindu. 186 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,600 You're not anymore saved because you wear a dress. 187 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,320 You're not anymore saved because you don't wear makeup. 188 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,160 You're not anymore saved because yo dress cover your ankles. 189 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,680 Who cares? That long dress, there's a demon 190 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:39,770 under there. So we want to stay inside our 191 00:13:39,770 --> 00:13:44,290 little walls and do our little services and some of us need to 192 00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:47,170 be in longer services because it take that long for Jesus to get 193 00:13:47,170 --> 00:13:51,890 on you. Jesus can't go and get on some 194 00:13:51,890 --> 00:13:54,330 of y'all in 90 minutes because for 90 minutes you critique and 195 00:13:54,330 --> 00:13:57,770 the worship said you're trying to figure out who PT is, What 196 00:13:57,770 --> 00:13:59,810 are you wearing? You trying to so it take three 197 00:13:59,810 --> 00:14:02,330 hours for some of y'all to even get touched by Jesus a little 198 00:14:02,330 --> 00:14:05,480 bit. Why is it important to be in his 199 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,520 presence? Because when he gets on you, you 200 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,640 take His Kingdom out there wherever you go. 201 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,760 So when you at Christmas dinner, you're not overwhelmed by your 202 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,240 crazy auntie. You ready for this? 203 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,200 Your crazy auntie is overwhelmed by the Kingdom that's coming out 204 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,280 of your mouth. Some of y'all about to have some 205 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:30,880 tough Christmas dinners and every year you do and you walk 206 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,440 into that house with so much tension because of that drunk 207 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,960 uncle or that drunk father or that but you. 208 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,000 But it's just like the Lord's like no, but like you're 209 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,920 pregnant with me like Mary was. And so when you walk in the 210 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,360 drunk house, something changes. But if you don't know who you 211 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,120 are, you going to walk and be in there and be overcome and 212 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,520 overshadowed by whatever dominating spirit is in that 213 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:05,360 room. Here's the power of your 214 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,160 presents. Somebody talking to you crazy. 215 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,600 On Christmas dinner. You like, don't talk to me or I 216 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,760 got to go. Don't talk to me like that or I 217 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,200 got to go. Now, if they really want you 218 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,360 around, they're going to say OK, OK, OK, My bad. 219 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,680 See, you don't even know the power of your presents. 220 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,720 They're like, no, no, no, no. I'll change how I talk when you 221 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,640 come around. Yeah. 222 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,720 Patty cake. Amen. 223 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,080 Slap, slap. Slappy, slappy, slappy. 224 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,120 Amen. Amen. 225 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,040 Look, I grew up in a very noisy church, and I come to Canada. 226 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,080 I'm like, I can hear everything I like. 227 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,440 I'm like, Amen. You can hear the bathroom flush 228 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,960 outside. I'm like, yeah, all right, Lord, 229 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,520 Amen. But I counted the cost. 230 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880 Amen. Not this one, but Amen. 231 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,000 Amen. The Kingdom of God, just so we 232 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000 understand the Kingdom of God is a thing. 233 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,480 The Kingdom of God points to the ruling activity of God over 234 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:14,480 God's people and over the world. God has made another way of 235 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,600 saying the Kingdom of God is saying the reign of God, the the 236 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,760 rule of God. So you see the Kingdom of God, 237 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,080 he says. Jesus tells him. 238 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:29,720 He says if you see a demon come out, if you see deliverance. 239 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,840 Then you know the Kingdom. If the Holy Spirit cast out a 240 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,320 devil, then you know that the Kingdom of God has come. 241 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,880 In other words, if you see a demon flee, it's only because of 242 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,400 God's presence, not you. So if you see a demon flee, it 243 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,680 is a sign and wonder that the Kingdom has landed. 244 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800 How do I know the Kingdom has landed in this house? 245 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,600 Because some of y'all crazy folks have gotten a little less 246 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,520 crazy. How many people can say I'm, 247 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,520 I'm, I'm a little better since I've been here? 248 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,280 I'm a little better. That is a sign the Kingdom of 249 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,079 God is here. That is a sign the Kingdom of 250 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,319 God is here. Look at your neighbors, say you 251 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:20,280 have gotten a little bit better, but keep going. 252 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,560 Increase somebody say increase, increase. 253 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,440 The Kingdom of God is kingship, sovereignty, authority. 254 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,760 It's rule, especially the rule of God. 255 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,400 Both in the world, both in the world. 256 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,560 The the the impact the influence of God. 257 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:54,320 The way God has influence in the earth is through His church. 258 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,840 So stop saying God changed my city if you don't want to be a 259 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,880 partner. Stop saying God changed my 260 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,920 family if you don't want to be the model home. 261 00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:23,540 See, here's how people. Understand the value of what you 262 00:18:23,540 --> 00:18:27,840 believe in. You ready the value of what you 263 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,920 believe in. Somebody say that with me. 264 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,400 The value of what you believe in. 265 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,760 Here's how I know the value of what you believe in by the price 266 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,000 you're willing to pay. You can't tell me that following 267 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,160 Jesus is important when you got to be begged to come to church. 268 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,640 So when your families see that you treat Jesus the same way you 269 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,960 treat vacation time, then they see that church is really 270 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,720 important, that important to you. 271 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,400 Because of what you're willing to give up to be with them, or 272 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,480 what you're willing to give up to have fun or what you're 273 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,600 willing. You get what I'm saying? 274 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:11,760 So you can't expect family to to and friends to follow Jesus. 275 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,280 That's why witnessing to people sometime is hard because your 276 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,640 life and walk with God ain't convincing. 277 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,720 They're not going to come because you, because you keep 278 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,560 asking. Hallelujah. 279 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,320 Both. Both both in the world and in 280 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,480 the hearts of men. In the hearts of men is his 281 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,440 government ruling your heart? Is his ways ruling your heart? 282 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,880 If he's ruling your heart within it's government, that same 283 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:54,400 authority then comes out right? It says Kingdom in the concrete 284 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,680 sense. The Kingdom of God is where God 285 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,320 is present, a present reality and is intended to grow. 286 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:08,200 You see this the Kingdom can't be present and not expand where 287 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,040 it is. So this is the hard part about. 288 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,280 This is why you can have a church with 10,000 people. 289 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:26,760 But but nine but but 9000 don't know how to witness, 9000 don't 290 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:33,040 win souls, and 9000 ain't making no disciples because the Kingdom 291 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,880 is not there expanding. Guess what's there? 292 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,360 The Bible's there because the Bible's there. 293 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,280 And because you're talking about the king doesn't mean his 294 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,000 Kingdom is reigning. Am I? 295 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,120 This is why you can't put a finger and be like be like 90 296 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:52,240 minutes? No, because the Kingdom rules 297 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,400 this house. So at any time the kingdom's 298 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,520 like, let's go this way. Guess where we going to go this 299 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,160 way? I'm not fighting against the 300 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,560 Kingdom. So when you're wondering and 301 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,680 understanding why certain cultures are in certain 302 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,160 churches, look, the Kingdom ain't ruling when you can 303 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,400 guarantee. That church going to start this 304 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,040 time, you're going to stay. Now some of you are going to be 305 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,320 like, but no, that's like excellence. 306 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,840 It's like order. OK, let's go higher. 307 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,120 Perfect order is following the perfect one. 308 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,800 Totally get excellence. I totally get order and all 309 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:39,400 that. OK, But if you're so you have so 310 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,160 much order that God cannot interrupt. 311 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,280 Have you ever been to that church where worship was really 312 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,520 good, like you were ready and then it was like go meet your 313 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,800 neighbor and have some coffee. We will continue in 15 minutes 314 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,120 or worship is so good like you're getting there, you're 315 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:01,640 finally getting warmed up and all of that and then you go and 316 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:07,000 then every time song over and if somebody comes in that don't 317 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,440 match what God's doing. Hi, how are you? 318 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:17,600 No, like no, no announcements can steal the word. 319 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,840 This is why sometimes you see announcements, sometimes you 320 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,880 don't, sometimes you see compel. We make that decision back. 321 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,360 There I'm like, yeah, no compelled, yeah, no 322 00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:30,440 announcements. Don't like announcements, but 323 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,160 you got to give today's church announcements because they not 324 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,840 going to pay attention and even when you give them 325 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,480 announcements, they don't pay attention. 326 00:22:47,940 --> 00:22:51,260 This is the Kingdom of God is where God is present. 327 00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:54,980 You ready? And his reality is present. 328 00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:58,580 He's not there just for goosebumps. 329 00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:03,780 He's not there just for, Oh no. His reality is present and he's 330 00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:07,980 speaking and it's intended. To grow us. 331 00:23:08,860 --> 00:23:13,060 Kingdom of God is the realm where Jesus governs between 332 00:23:13,060 --> 00:23:18,960 heaven and earth, his ways, his truths, his life. 333 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,680 The Kingdom of God is a volcanic not just you know, made-up this 334 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,160 definition just off of accumulation of understanding 335 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,000 other definitions. And then I just write if Paul 336 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,240 can write a letter, I can too. Is that correct? 337 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,640 Like Mark was the Mark Elijah. All these people can write, 338 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,720 write and. I can't tell. 339 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,960 Same Holy Spirit. Now, I'm not writing the Bible, 340 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,600 but I am. You get what I'm? 341 00:23:43,600 --> 00:24:00,200 Saying so 2nd Terrance verse Kingdom of God, a volcanic 342 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,080 activity meant to mature. Like when I think of a volcanic 343 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,320 activity, there's this bubbling you cannot see, but you do feel 344 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,840 the heat you and it's ready to go off at any time. 345 00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:19,120 Influence. It is meant to mature. 346 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,120 It is meant to influence and it's meant to expand, creating 347 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:28,080 Kingdom movement, right? The church. 348 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:35,040 The sent Ness of the church has to be restored and the church 349 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,720 was the church. Should be. 350 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,360 And is a movement. It is the greatest movement on 351 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:47,400 planet Earth. But our movement has stopped, 352 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,640 right? There's fashion movements and 353 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,520 they just take off, right? Like, why am I wearing these 354 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,480 wide leg pants? Why, why I'm wearing these 355 00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,520 flares, Emerson? Why? 356 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,040 Why are why am I wearing these Air Force ones? 357 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,880 Huh. My wife the other day she was 358 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,400 like, I hope I hope flare pants don't go out of style like we it 359 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,480 was skinny jeans at first, but I'm like skinny jeans is always 360 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,920 in. But all these styles is nothing 361 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,520 new like this generation think they doing something new. 362 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:23,040 No bell bottoms flare pants always been in OK always. 363 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:28,520 It's just recycling itself. OK, but it's a movement and 364 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,320 whatever the fashion world tells you is in, you take it as in. 365 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,560 But when God is saying I'm doing something, it's like give me 3 366 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:42,920 signs with the stripe in the middle, right, pink light green 367 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,080 in the middle right? Like it's like Lord give me. 368 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,320 It's that Gideon moment in the production. 369 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,880 And then God is so gracious he'll do it. 370 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:57,320 You like just give me one more so I can make sure that's you. 371 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,480 We crazy man, we make this a little more difficult than it 372 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,760 should be, and we are the most powerful agent on planet Earth. 373 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,000 Increase means to grow. It means to increase to enlarge. 374 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,400 It refers to the growth of that which is alive. 375 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,760 You can't grow if you did, so you ready? 376 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,840 You got to get in the game to grow. 377 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:34,000 You got to practice. OK naturally or spiritually 378 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,960 increase means greatness. It's something unusually large 379 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,000 in size and dimension. Somebody say unusually unusually 380 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,520 large it increase it is abundance it's. 381 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,240 More than you are prepared for. It's bigness, vastness, 382 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,360 hugeness. When God says He will make you 383 00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:57,920 great, expect something enormous. 384 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:06,880 Enormous, like the Savior of the world, started off in a Manger 385 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,160 in a motel. 6 The Savior of the world. 386 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,960 They don't have those out here, but that's OK, John. 7 He who 387 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,200 believes in me, who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on me, 388 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,080 as Scripture has said, as the what has said, Scripture has 389 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:37,400 said, from his innermost being shall flow continuously. 390 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,280 What does continuously mean? It means all the time, 391 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,720 continuously, non-stop, there shall be a what flow. 392 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,600 Now I understand that if I just drink water and it don't flow 393 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:54,600 nowhere, what's going to happen can talk, right? 394 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,320 Right. So so when I drink some of this 395 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,480 water. If I keep drinking it, at some 396 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,640 point, guess what's going to happen? 397 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,040 I'm going to have to what? Go to the washroom. 398 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,000 OK, I'm going to have to go to the washroom because it has to 399 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:13,600 exit, understand? But I have a demand on my body. 400 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:19,400 I need to keep drinking water, which means I am I am made to 401 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,160 consume for the sole purpose of releasing. 402 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,560 Can I talk to this side? Right. 403 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,520 So, so the, the, the, the fact that if you stop peeing, that 404 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:39,400 means something's wrong. So if you always come to church 405 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,720 and don't release it nowhere, you're not healthy. 406 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,520 Something ain't working in there, you understand? 407 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:07,800 So therefore something that's meant to nourish me, it becomes 408 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:13,720 harmful. How can the word not worked be 409 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,440 harmful? Because I begin to not believe 410 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,920 the word if I never see the word that was given to me to get 411 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:32,920 through me to produce fruit. So not taking that leap of faith 412 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:39,480 hinders your faith from growing. Peter had more faith after he 413 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:46,640 sank. His faith didn't grow because he 414 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,640 his faith didn't decrease because he sank. 415 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,040 His faith grew because he gave God an opportunity to show up. 416 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,280 I'm talking to a room full of safety, safety guards, right 417 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,640 that are you just living in safety zone all the time? 418 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:12,040 Increase don't come unless you drink and you release and you 419 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:20,920 continue to drink over and over and over and over and over. 420 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,680 It says springs and rivers of living water. 421 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,400 Now you got to understand for 333 chapters prior to this, you 422 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,120 this the woman at the well and that was he said this well 423 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,680 represents eternal life. You ready? 424 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,040 All right, can y'all y'all ready? 425 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,680 The well represented eternal life where she will never be 426 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,560 thirsty again. It represented her getting life. 427 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,240 It represented her getting like the whale was for her. 428 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:01,240 This is for people around you. That's a spring. 429 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:07,000 It is rivers of living water. This is what's supposed to come 430 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:13,240 out of you due to who's in you. But we got a lot of whale 431 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,040 Saints. You just sit at the well every 432 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:22,160 day and get your bucket. The world's not going to get 433 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,560 changed off a bucket That well was for her. 434 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,840 He was talking about salvation 3 chapters later. 435 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,520 This is why he then goes and says if you can go to verse, can 436 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,120 you put up verse 3939 real quick? 437 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,880 I don't have that one down, but I want to show you guys verse 438 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,080 39. When we understand increases, 439 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,720 now you can talk about money as well. 440 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,720 God blesses you. He brings income. 441 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,920 Now when the world asks for that outcome, you pay up. 442 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,840 He brings income not merely to stay at your house, but if it's 443 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,520 going to be a household where income keeps coming, then you 444 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,800 have to be faithful by releasing it back to who the income came 445 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,880 from. So. 446 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,080 So which script? Which one is? 447 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,400 This being shall flow continuously. 448 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,880 Springs and rivers of living water. 449 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,200 Yes, go there. But he was speaking here because 450 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,240 him saying he was speaking here meant somewhere else. 451 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,760 He was speaking there. So there he was talking out in 452 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,760 John Four. He was talking about a well, he 453 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,800 was talking about salvation. He's speaking here of the of the 454 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:51,880 Holy Spirit who is a gift to the believer, not the world. 455 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,880 Jesus is a gift to the world. Now once I come out of world, I 456 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:03,560 need the gift of the Holy Ghost. It's another topic whom those 457 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,920 who believe. There it is. 458 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,520 In him were afterwards. The Holy Spirit was to come 459 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,880 afterwards. To receive for the holy. 460 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,640 Spirit had not yet been given because. 461 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,040 Jesus. Was not yet glorified. 462 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,760 Oh, there's a lot of responsibility on the New 463 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,120 Testament church because you got something they didn't. 464 00:33:30,830 --> 00:33:35,830 When the righteous are in authority and become great. 465 00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:40,190 I told you last week, you can't impact the world. 466 00:33:40,910 --> 00:33:46,680 Broke the church can't beat. See, See, see, you'd be like, 467 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,440 well, missionaries broke. Listen, no, no, no, no, no, 468 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,400 listen, listen what I'm saying, somebody that's supporting 469 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:57,680 missionaries ain't broke. See, missionary got all they 470 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,360 needs met and they have a grace to live off of just what they 471 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,680 need. OK, that that's a grace that's 472 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,199 on their lives. But to fall into this trap, to 473 00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:18,920 think that God is OK with you not being able to be a giver is 474 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,280 not the gospel. So so so so. 475 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,600 When you understand this, you should desire to have more than 476 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:33,000 enough so you can be generous. You should not be thriving and 477 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,760 working overtime, so you only have enough for you and your 478 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:42,159 dreams. Here it is. 479 00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:45,960 This is what the Bible says the Bible says the Bible says the 480 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,920 Bible. When the righteous are in 481 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,480 authority and become great, what does become great mean very 482 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,280 influential. You ready? 483 00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:02,120 Here's the word essential. This is why we the world told us 484 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,760 we wasn't essential during COVID. 485 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:05,680 That should have bothered some folks. 486 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,360 So you know my. Response to that was not to go 487 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,320 on strike or not to bombard the government. 488 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,320 My response was to make disciples. 489 00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:15,040 OK, you ready? You ready? 490 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,680 What was Jesus response to the government of the world at the 491 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:18,800 time? Talk to me. 492 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:20,360 He was what? Huh. 493 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,280 So his Kingdom can what come? Because his Kingdom is a what 494 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,360 government? So why am I trying to help a 495 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,440 government that ain't going that that's a that's prophesied to 496 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:38,400 fail? I'm in the world, I'm not of it, 497 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:48,240 so close my doors. You can't stop the Kingdom, he 498 00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:50,240 says. See, this is what I'm saying. 499 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,240 We make disciples and we build our businesses and things of 500 00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:56,920 that nature. So we become essential or become 501 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:05,280 great, it says, because the righteous are in authority and 502 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,760 become great. The people rejoice. 503 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,200 How did people, how did Jesus bring some people to Jesus? 504 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,920 He fed them. Now this is crazy part. 505 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,520 That's one of the only ministries we pride ourselves in 506 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040 in, in like, like I remember being in Strathcona and they 507 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,040 were like almost dumbfounded that I was like, our church 508 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,880 isn't called to feed the homeless that way. 509 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,520 Like that's, that's like our main thing. 510 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,480 No, we're we're going to go partner with people. 511 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,200 But but there, you know, it's more than homeless people and 512 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,440 mentally ill people that need resources, right? 513 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,840 If you want to take over a city, you can't just help homeless 514 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,800 people, right? Some people that's like sounds 515 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:49,960 so harsh. No, it doesn't. 516 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,080 They need food. But guess what? 517 00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:53,400 There's do you know how much money is pumped in? 518 00:36:54,760 --> 00:37:03,320 There's enough soup kitchens in East, say in, in over in East 519 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,360 Hastings in that area, they pump in $1,000,000 a day in 520 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,200 resources. You think the city is the way it 521 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:17,680 is because it's a lack of sandwiches now what happens if 522 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,240 the church got a bunch of money? With the vision of the Kingdom, 523 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,080 we're not just giving people sandwiches and needles no more. 524 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,880 We're now we actually have resources that will compel them 525 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,160 to be cleaned up. And then we give the world back 526 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,480 better citizens. Are y'all hearing what I'm 527 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,720 saying? So This is why, This is why God 528 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,880 wants you to to to increase and your businesses to thrive. 529 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,880 He wants you to be good employees and be faithful over 530 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,480 that minimum wage because your your increase doesn't come from 531 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,800 your diploma or your boss. It comes from God. 532 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,520 So going there with a Kingdom attitude, all right. 533 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,320 All right, all right, it says. But when the wicked man rules, 534 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,200 or woman, or people, the people groan inside. 535 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,080 And you can't tell me the world ain't grumpy. 536 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,600 Why is the world grumpy? Because the wicked are in 537 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,840 charge. You, you here. 538 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,200 Here's here's what it says, Noel. 539 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,440 Here's what it says he says. Instead of you trying to make a 540 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:35,600 wicked government righteous, get the righteous in authority and 541 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,920 and and and my church become great. 542 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,960 So when the world, when the government lets the world down, 543 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,080 my government lifts the world up all. 544 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,600 Right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all 545 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,720 right, all right. For for we are God's own 546 00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:55,360 handiwork, his workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus born a 547 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,320 new that we may do those good works, say good works. 548 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,440 Those good works? Which God? 549 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,360 What predestined? God predestined what good works? 550 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,320 It says he planned beforehand. So you mean God had a plan for 551 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,560 you before you had a? Planner, a book planner, you 552 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,640 mean God had a plan for you before you bought that that book 553 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,680 on trying to find purpose You, you mean God had a plan for you 554 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,880 before you tried to find a Boo to bring you to bring a plan to 555 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,440 you. So who had a plan before anybody 556 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:35,840 knew you? Says taking paths which he 557 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:41,080 prepared ahead of time. So they mean the plan that he 558 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,240 prepared ahead of time. I don't think he just like 559 00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:50,960 shovelled a pave way. I think he paved the path. 560 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,080 He created a plan. He designed us for that plan. 561 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,560 And he also laid that paid that plan with provision. 562 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:07,520 So I need to find the path of God for my life and trust that 563 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,800 everything that I need is on that. 564 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,360 Why? Because he said he prepared it 565 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,400 right? When when Mama say dinner ready 566 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,680 it mean Mama and daddy prepared dinner. 567 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,320 So when you when when it's dinner time, you're not 568 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:28,080 searching for napkins or silverware or like when it says 569 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,880 dinner time, that means everything's been prepared. 570 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,800 Food's been taken from the pot and put in those beautiful 571 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,960 dishes and it's ready to be what served. 572 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,640 See. And we can't serve because we 573 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,920 too busy Prepare like preparing our own path. 574 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,880 I want you to see this he says that we should walk in them. 575 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,160 What's them?

A good a good life. 579 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,520 Whenever I read the word, I'm like, God has this good life 580 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,520 plan for us. And when he planned his good 581 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,760 life, he knew the world was going to be crazy. 582 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,640 He didn't plan good life for a good world. 583 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,360 He planned good life so so we can be in front of the this this 584 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,360 fallen world and they look at our what good life and be like. 585 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,400 I want that.

I did. 721 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,680 I'm going, I'm going to make it happen and I'm already making it 722 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,080 happen. So there's there's areas where I 723 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:26,720 must decrease so he can what, increase enough to require no 724 00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:36,560 aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work. 725 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,360 What does every good work mean? Every good work. 726 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,400 So there's nothing that he is going to ask you to do that 727 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,440 you're going to need help for now. 728 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,560 Now here's how I here's how I understand wealth as well. 729 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,280 People aren't just wealthy because all of what they got. 730 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,840 People are also wealthy because of who they with. 731 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:08,040 So I might not have it, but I got a friend that got it right, 732 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,240 right. So if you broke, you probably 733 00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:12,840 should not hang around other what broke vote. 734 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,720 Just like the blind can't lead the blind, the broke can't lead 735 00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:33,200 the broke, right? You can't be so insecure you 736 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:39,800 gather friends where you are. You got to be willing to get 737 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,920 uncomfortable to be around people that's. 738 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:47,400 A little further ahead of you. Right abundance for every what 739 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,080 good work and charitable donation that's what you're 740 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,320 going to have an opportunity opportunity to do in a little 741 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,000 bit charitable donation here it is and and we think we like. 742 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,080 Really give it. But when we give, we like, hey, 743 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,760 whatever we see that what what's going to happen? 744 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,800 Let me ask you this, will you be a giver if the government takes 745 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:12,600 away our charitable rights? I know some of y'all will. 746 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,160 Here here's here's why it's important right now. 747 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:20,320 Like the seven years that he said that increase was coming 748 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,000 because seven years of famine was coming. 749 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,200 Let me tell you, it's already in discussion. 750 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,000 We could very because if they come and ask us to do certain 751 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,680 things in order to keep it that go against the word, we're going 752 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,680 to say no. So then the church has to 753 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:37,360 become, the church has to prepare to be a for profit 754 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,760 entity. This is why we need to start our 755 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,760 businesses. This is why they're going 756 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,640 prosper. This is why we need strategy. 757 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:51,200 This is why we need people that have financial intelligence so 758 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:56,840 we know how to move money. Hey guess what I don't know how 759 00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,400 to move money. Like some people know how to 760 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,400 move money but I got friends that know how to move money. 761 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,720 Are you really a giver if you can't write it off? 762 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,880 The God's economy doesn't need receipts. 763 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,360 His increase is not based on a charitable receipt. 764 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,760 You get what I'm saying? OK. 765 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,280 And God who provides seed, this is so good. 766 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,480 And God who provides seed for the sower. 767 00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:46,760 So when people like I don't got no seed, OK, flip it and reverse 768 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,480 it. You must not be a sower. 769 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,960 OK, let me, let me just read the scripture again. 770 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,760 This is what the Lord said. Don't get mad at me, OK. 771 00:54:56,240 --> 00:55:00,040 And God who provides seed to the sower, here it is, here it is. 772 00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:07,240 If all this stopped working, it don't matter how much water I 773 00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:09,800 drink. It's backed up. 774 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:17,520 If God can't get it through you then then then you can forget 775 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,120 about him. Keep on supplying. 776 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,800 You just going to have to labor. So you might have money, but 777 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,920 it's nowhere near. You might have resources, but 778 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,120 it's nowhere near. What if God can get things 779 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,760 through you and you learn how to sew? 780 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,640 It's nowhere near the reef. And here's what you got to 781 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,760 understand how God gives. It's not just money you need, 782 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:44,600 you need resources, you need relationships, you need people. 783 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,840 So when you go to work, they're not responsible to give you 784 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,800 relationships and resources. They're responsible to give you 785 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,800 money for your labor. But when you sow into the 786 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,360 Kingdom of God, it's stuff like somebody, hey, you need a you 787 00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,200 need a vacation home. You know what? 788 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:04,000 No one's at my vacation home. You and your family go up there 789 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,080 for two weeks. No cost. 790 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,760 Just wash the sheets and the dinner. 791 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,200 Right? Relationships. 792 00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:11,880 Relationships. That's that's harvest. 793 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,840 God brings you stuff you don't have money to pay for. 794 00:56:25,530 --> 00:56:29,090 Look me leave me and my wife, me and my wife Malachi. 795 00:56:29,810 --> 00:56:34,250 We we didn't man, we didn't, we didn't we Sometimes folks be 796 00:56:34,250 --> 00:56:36,170 like man, they so blessed they must go. 797 00:56:37,210 --> 00:56:39,530 This is why sometimes we don't we came not, we may not wear 798 00:56:39,530 --> 00:56:41,570 certain things or say. Because the people going to be 799 00:56:41,570 --> 00:56:46,760 like where PT get all that money from, but you don't even know. 800 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,040 I remember if somebody was getting on me about our car and 801 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:54,360 stuff, but you don't know that somebody blessed us with that. 802 00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:01,680 You don't know who bought that jacket for my wife you like we 803 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:07,720 in the garage and they got. All it you don't know, but what 804 00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:13,760 you do see is we sew. Oh, they in. 805 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:18,360 It's a lie how they go. They hear the land, we in the 806 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,800 Remnant. I know how some people think 807 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,720 it's sometimes we didn't even want to take video because we 808 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,640 like they're going to be thinking we balling because we 809 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:31,880 on this boat, we can't even share with you the blessing 810 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,760 because you think you know. No, you didn't know first of all 811 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:44,640 how cheap the boat was. And you don't know who God has 812 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,400 put in our lives to to to bless us and who value us and who 813 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,240 appreciate who we've been in their lives. 814 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:56,600 You don't know how we got there. I can tell you this. 815 00:57:58,080 --> 00:57:59,760 We we all couldn't have got there. 816 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,480 I'm just cannot be transparent right, like right, the story 817 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,400 match the the garage right now. OK, you understand what I'm 818 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,640 saying right? It won't always be that way 819 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,480 because we going to be able to. Flip it and reverse it. 820 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,600 But what I'm saying is I'm being transparent with you. 821 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,240 Is that the the the good life? That seems like sometime I don't 822 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,640 even want to take pictures. And when I'm when I'm cold 823 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,960 plunging because folks be like, oh, they how are we in the 824 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,560 garage and they house all that big and they got a pool. 825 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,400 Pastors can't have pools, first of all, but you don't know how 826 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:42,160 that's working.

You can't think you about to 889 01:02:55,200 --> 01:03:00,920 give the world 60 hours a week and then you roll up in church 890 01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,720 and can't even help the church because you just sitting in here 891 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:07,760 can't receive.

I'm talking about like people 959 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,600 that wouldn't normally. Come to the hood. 960 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:32,319 It's just like. Oh my God. 961 01:08:32,319 --> 01:08:34,640 Hey, hey, you go anywhere where the Lord is. 962 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,600 Hallelujah. Folks risk their life to come to 963 01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:46,359 that production. Oh my God. 964 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,760 Oh my God. All right, so the first night we 965 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:56,640 had 194 that registered. I think the night it was, we 966 01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:02,800 were always off by like 10 or so people from registration 9:50 to 967 01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:07,279 20 or something like that. But we also was up that number 968 01:09:07,279 --> 01:09:09,640 because some people didn't register. 969 01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:15,160 Mind you, none of these numbers reflect people that served. 970 01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:23,560 OK, so 194 and you had the next one, December 8th, 240. 971 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,000 And then December 14th we had 372. 972 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,160 Yeah. And then December 15th we had 973 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:51,720 440. So over, over, over, over, over 974 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:58,800 4 evenings, we had 12146 people that registered. 975 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,400 OK. Like those are numbers we need 976 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,360 when we go to investors and we're talking about going into 977 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:09,280 the Orpheum or to Queen Elizabeth's where it's like, you 978 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,920 know, 2500 people, right? We're, we're half, we're a 979 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,600 little over halfway there. And where our church is going to 980 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:19,760 be next year with growth and all that, like we for sure can, can 981 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:20,920 do that. So we're going to have a problem 982 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,840 next year. Next year I got to slow myself 983 01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:23,840 down. I heard you, Deb. 984 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,800 I heard you. Next year we got to do our we 985 01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:31,120 got to do our production, our first like next door. 986 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:32,640 Like we got to have our production next. 987 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,120 So next year is going to be next door. 988 01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,960 So thank God that Queen Elizabeth was booked for next 989 01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,760 year because he because yeah, but it's going to be next door. 990 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,360 But that's that's a problem, y'all? 991 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:50,240 That's a problem. And so understand. 992 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,200 That God is building a. Story And he's building a 993 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:56,720 conviction in our church that he must have plans for longevity 994 01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,720 because he's building a faith that can't be moved when you got 995 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:05,160 a story like ours that's going to be by the time it's done like 996 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,360 you can't tell us nothing. I mean, not in a prideful way, 997 01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:12,960 just in what God's ability is. And so in this little garage, in 998 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:17,320 this community that people was is is encouraged to stay away. 999 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:25,080 12146 people found our little. Hello, Saying it, me and my 1000 01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,560 wife, me and some people talking about, well, what we going to do 1001 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,760 about overflow. Do you know how many people in 1002 01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:33,400 Vancouver stand in long lines waiting to get in restaurants? 1003 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,040 Get out of here. Get out of here. 1004 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:44,960 So as we give today, you're going to see these baskets right 1005 01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,160 here. I'm believing 100% of the people 1006 01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,640 here are going to give. Now it would have been beautiful 1007 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:53,040 if 12146 people gave when they came in. 1008 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,760 So I'm here to tell you all your family and friends they got a 1009 01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:58,920 year. But next year we we charge it 1010 01:11:59,480 --> 01:12:01,760 ain't ain't no donation, ain't no I'm not doing no. 1011 01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,800 Donation. No, no, yeah, people, you give 1012 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:05,360 people an option, they ain't going to pay for it. 1013 01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,840 So we charge it next year. And when we do a production, the 1014 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,920 goal is the investor. What's going to be added in the 1015 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:18,160 investor is going to be an ability to pay everyone that 1016 01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,600 puts the production. On I don't care if it's. $50 a 1017 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,040 person like we're not doing it for the money, but we got to 1018 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,240 start somewhere. But it's a lot of Labor that go 1019 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,200 into that. So when the investor comes, it's 1020 01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:29,600 going to be they paying for food. 1021 01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,280 So they going to make sure that Deborah and hospitality 1022 01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,600 everybody can get, get, get get the food we want. 1023 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,360 And we going to be able to pay our actors and actresses and 1024 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,880 musicians and and all of that and and all of that stuff. 1025 01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,840 So believe but we going to start off by giving to our church 1026 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,320 ourselves. OK, this is the. 1027 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,800 Year for some of you where? Everything changes. 1028 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,320 I'm going to say it again.
