00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,560
Thanks for checking out the 
Anchor Faith Message podcast 

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,920
from St. 
Augustine, FL. 

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,640
Now enjoy this message. 
I want to talk about the 

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,640
measure, the measure Kingdom 
faith, the measure. 

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,160
You know, we talked about that 
measuring stick a few Wednesday 

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,200
nights, you know, last month 
about how he, God has a 

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,960
measuring stick, right? 
And, and, and we talked about 

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,480
how to grow up spiritually and 
to mature that we're from where 

9
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,760
to go from babes, infants, babes
in Christ, right, you know, and 

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,000
continue to mature up into a 
perfect man, a mature man. 

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,240
And we talked about, we gave the
the analogy of a child, when 

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,680
they're first born a baby, they 
go back to the doctor and he 

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,600
measures them, doesn't he? 
He measures them on a percentile

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,720
of where this child should be 
with their weight and their 

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,960
height and all of these things 
according to the month that they

16
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:12,960
are. 
If they're three months, the 

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:17,680
percentage should be right here 
for a three month old, right? 

18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,400
Or whatever the case, and you 
take them back for a couple of 

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,320
years so that he can continue to
make sure that what they are 

20
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,520
being nourished properly, that 
they are growing properly. 

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,880
Well, God has another measuring 
stick and it's are we people of 

22
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,320
faith? 
Because he has given us all the 

23
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,520
measure of faith. 
He's given us all the measure of

24
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,440
faith. 
So how does true biblical faith 

25
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,160
come? 
You know, we can. 

26
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,080
There's so many misconceptions 
in the church world, you know, 

27
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,920
because I know people that say 
they are Christians and say they

28
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,120
believe God, but they see him as
a God that's way out here and 

29
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,039
they just believe that he's a 
God. 

30
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:11,160
He is God and he's way out here 
and he's going to do what he 

31
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,800
wants to do. 
That is not true biblical faith 

32
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,840
according to the Scripture, OK. 
And so we have to look at it 

33
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,840
according to what the Scripture 
says. 

34
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,360
And then, as I said, we have to 
test ourselves to see, are we 

35
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,360
really in faith? 
Are we really living a life of 

36
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,680
faith? 
And this means every day is what

37
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,200
I like Pastor Hagen used to say.
Is the switch of faith turned 

38
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,720
on? 
Is it on every day? 

39
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,520
And we are the only ones that 
can determine that and know that

40
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,840
Is faith really the switch of 
faith really turned on in our 

41
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,440
life every day in our coming and
in our going and everything that

42
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,200
we're doing, right? 
So we know, and we've been 

43
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:09,760
taught this, that faith is so 
important because without it we 

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,080
can do nothing. 
We can do nothing. 

45
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,600
And faith is so important 
because it's the only thing that

46
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,840
pleases God. 
I don't care how much you serve.

47
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,480
I don't care how much you do to 
help the poor, how many 

48
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,280
thousands of dollars, whatever. 
The only thing that pleases God 

49
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:39,800
is our faith, our faith, our 
faith that pleases Him. 

50
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,480
And so faith is so important in 
the Kingdom because recognizing 

51
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:52,080
that we have to have faith to 
see the promises of God 

52
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,000
appropriated in our life, 
because as we've been taught 

53
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,560
here, faith is the actual 
currency of the Kingdom. 

54
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,360
It is the exchange, it's the 
currency, it's the exchange. 

55
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:15,200
It is we have to have faith to 
exchange or to give to God so 

56
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:22,000
that we can see heaven brought 
to earth, so that we can see 

57
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,680
what He says belongs to us. 
We have to be people of faith to

58
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,440
make that exchange, to get the 
reality of what He says belongs 

59
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,680
to us in the earth. 
It's the exchange. 

60
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,880
It's the currency. 
Amen. 

61
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,720
And the next thing we have to 
realize about faith is that 

62
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:52,280
faith operates in the unseen. 
It operates in the unseen, but 

63
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:57,560
the purpose of it is to bring it
to the scene, right? 

64
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,960
So therefore, we cannot live by 
what we see because true 

65
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,120
biblical faith in God is going 
to put you in places where you 

66
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:17,240
don't see things until you have 
faith to believe those things 

67
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,840
and bring them into the reality 
in the earth. 

68
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,600
Amen. 
So how does true biblical faith 

69
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,960
comes? 
We know this. 

70
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,280
Romans 10/17. 
So faith comes from hearing and 

71
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:39,160
hearing from what the Word of 
God, the Word of God say. 

72
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Faith comes from the Word. 
We do not and should not operate

73
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,200
in any other type of faith 
outside of the Word of God 

74
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,920
because then we can be assured 
that it is true biblical faith. 

75
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:06,600
I do not have faith on something
I heard so and so said is what 

76
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,240
I'm saying. 
I don't have faith in another 

77
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,640
book that I may have read that 
some other person may have 

78
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,480
wrote. 
No true biblical faith for us to

79
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,480
build our foundation on and our 
life on has to come from the 

80
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,840
Word of God and the Word of God 
alone. 

81
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,360
And this is so important because
I know many people, their faith 

82
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,160
has failed them because they 
actually had faith in somebody 

83
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,560
else's experience instead of the
infallible Word of God. 

84
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:51,200
So true biblical faith is only 
going to come from His Word, 

85
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,720
Amen. 
And His Word rightly divided. 

86
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:02,120
His word rightly divided. 
Romans 10/8 and 11 says this. 

87
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,840
But what does it say? 
The word is near you, and in 

88
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:11,800
your mouth and in your heart. 
That is the Word of Faith which 

89
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,480
you which we are preaching, 
right? 

90
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,640
The Word of Faith which we are 
preaching. 

91
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,480
And he goes on to say that if 
you confess with your mouth 

92
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Jesus is Lord, and believe in 
your heart that God raised him 

93
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,080
from the dead, you will be 
saved. 

94
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,720
For with the heart a person 
believes resulting in 

95
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,160
righteousness, and with the 
mouth he confesses resulting in 

96
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,200
salvation. 
For the Scripture says whoever 

97
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:45,240
believes in him will not be 
disappointed. 

98
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Say I believe God, say I believe
God and I will not be 

99
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,840
disappointed. 
Hallelujah, glory to God, I 

100
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,360
believe God. 
I have faith in God, true faith 

101
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,920
in Him that he will not 
disappoint. 

102
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:14,960
Hallelujah that He fully, fully 
is faithful to His own word. 

103
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,360
He's committed to His own word. 
And if I stand on his word in 

104
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,960
faith, believing in my heart, 
and we're going to get into this

105
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,800
later, confessing with my mouth,
come on, then I can be assured 

106
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,320
that He will not disappoint in 
my life. 

107
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Hallelujah. 
So the faith that we need to, we

108
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,159
have to have it come from the 
Word. 

109
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,559
And we see that the minute we 
call on the name of the Lord by 

110
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,160
faith, as His Spirit drew us 
into the Kingdom of God and let 

111
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,520
us know we needed Him to redeem 
us. 

112
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,880
Faith was then activated because
we called on His name. 

113
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,160
We believed in our heart and we 
confessed it with our mouth. 

114
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,840
And that is how faith will 
operate the rest of your life. 

115
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,080
The rest of your life. 
For anything that He says 

116
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,040
belongs to you. 
You must believe it in your 

117
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,720
heart, and you must confess it 
out of your mouth. 

118
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:26,520
It is written by His stripes. 
I am healed. 

119
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,360
Can be no other thing. 
So for the rest of your life, 

120
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:40,760
this is the law of faith in 
operation for anything, any 

121
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:46,200
promise, not just salvation. 
I have to believe in my heart 

122
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,080
what His Word says concerning 
provision, whatever it is, and 

123
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,080
then I have to confess it and 
believe it. 

124
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,720
Come on, until I see the reality
of it. 

125
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,880
Amen. 
Hallelujah. 

126
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,960
So the minute we get born again,
then we see that we activate 

127
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,640
faith. 
Now let's look at this Romans 

128
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,240
1012 through 15. 
For there is no distinction 

129
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,360
between Jew and Greek. 
For the same Lord as the Lord of

130
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,880
all abounding in riches, for all
who call on him. 

131
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,000
For whoever will call on the 
name of the Lord will be saved. 

132
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,480
How then will they call on Him 
and whom they've not believed? 

133
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:37,120
You see that belief, faith has 
to be activated in our hearts. 

134
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,760
How will they believe in Him 
whom they've not heard? 

135
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,480
There's that hearing again. 
If you're not hearing of the 

136
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,240
word or you're not hearing of 
the preacher saying you need to 

137
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:55,160
be born again, then faith cannot
be activated because faith comes

138
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,920
from the Word, Amen. 
And then believing it in your 

139
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,120
heart, how can they believe in 
whom they've not heard? 

140
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,920
And how can they hear without a 
preacher? 

141
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Everyone of you are a preacher. 
The minute you get born again, 

142
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,800
you now become a mouthpiece for 
the Lord, and you are to go out 

143
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,160
and preach with the ministry of 
reconciliation, letting 

144
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,840
everybody know that they need 
the Savior that you just 

145
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,920
encountered. 
Hallelujah, so that they can 

146
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,080
hear, because how are they going
to hear unless someone is sent? 

147
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,160
And you are those someones. 
You are those someones, not just

148
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,560
me. 
And pastor, it is also your 

149
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:57,000
responsibility to go out and 
preach the gospel. 

150
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,440
Amen. 
Every single one of us are 

151
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,680
responsible. 
How will they preach unless they

152
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,800
are sent? 
Just as it is written. 

153
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,560
How beautiful are the feet of 
those who bring the good news of

154
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:12,040
good things. 
So these two scriptures let us 

155
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,840
know. 
And the reason why I use these 

156
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,520
first is because I wanted you to
see that this is how you got 

157
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,680
born again. 
Faith was applied to your life 

158
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,920
through you believing it in your
heart and activating what you 

159
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:33,200
heard the preacher say. 
And that will always be the law 

160
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,680
for you the rest of your life 
and walk with the Lord as long 

161
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,880
as we have today. 
The Lord willing, come on. 

162
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,840
But we know he's quickly 
returning. 

163
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,240
Amen. 
We are living in the last of the

164
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,800
last days and we're seeing 
things come on happen 

165
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,160
prophetically like never before.
I mean, my goodness, every day 

166
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,320
there's something else that's 
just taken place just that 

167
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,560
quick. 
So we need to be out about the 

168
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:04,880
Father's business. 
But anyway, letting people know 

169
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,520
so that they can hear that they 
need the Lord, Amen. 

170
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,960
But let's go to Ephesians 
chapter 2 and verses one through

171
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,520
10. 
Again, these are all scriptures 

172
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,080
that we know, we've read many 
times throughout the 20 years 

173
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,760
here, but it's good for us to 
remind ourselves of these 

174
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,600
things. 
It says, and you were dead in 

175
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,840
your trespasses and sins in 
which you formerly walked 

176
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,880
according to the course of this 
world, according to the Prince 

177
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,560
of the power of air and of the 
spirit that is now working in 

178
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,440
the sons of disobedience among 
them. 

179
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,160
We too all formerly lived in the
lust of our flesh, indulging in 

180
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,160
the desires of our flesh and and
of our mind, right? 

181
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,840
And we're by nature children of 
wrath, even as the rest. 

182
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,120
But God, being rich in His mercy
because of His great love for 

183
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,640
with which He loved us even when
we were dead in our 

184
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,960
transgressions, made us alive 
together with Christ. 

185
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:11,120
By grace you have been saved, 
and raised us up with Him, and 

186
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,800
seated us with Him in heavenly 
places in Christ Jesus, so that 

187
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,000
in the ages to come He might 
show the surpassing riches of 

188
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,280
His grace and kindness towards 
us in Christ. 

189
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,280
Verse 8 For by grace you have 
been saved. 

190
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Through what? 
Through faith? 

191
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:39,520
Through faith. 
So faith had to be heard and 

192
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:47,040
acted upon for you to be able to
partake and be partakers of His 

193
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,120
salvation and His divine grace. 
Amen. 

194
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,840
So it we have been saved through
faith and not at that of 

195
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,920
yourselves. 
It was a free gift of God. 

196
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,400
Say it was a gift of God, not as
a result of work, so that no one

197
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800
may boast, for we are his 
workmanship, created in Christ 

198
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,080
Jesus for good works which God 
prepared beforehand so that we 

199
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:18,120
could walk in them. 
Say we've been saved through 

200
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:24,600
faith, through faith, through 
faith. 

201
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,920
For us to enter into the Kingdom
of God, it had to be by faith, 

202
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,840
had to be by faith. 
It could be no other way. 

203
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:41,000
And so faith is not though what 
I want to say, just a one time 

204
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,600
experience. 
And a lot of people, believers 

205
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,400
live that way. 
They have faith to be born again

206
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,240
and they stay right there, and 
they do not use their faith to 

207
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,640
activate any of the promises 
that belong to them according to

208
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,360
scripture. 
They just use their faith so 

209
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,640
that when they die, they get to 
go to heaven, but they do not 

210
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:15,840
know how to activate their faith
or or work their faith to live 

211
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,640
by faith, which we'll see a few 
scriptures in a minute to be 

212
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:25,400
able to appropriate all the 
things that he says is ours in 

213
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,240
the Kingdom of God, in their 
family life with their children,

214
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:35,160
in their businesses. 
Come on in, in their occupation.

215
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:45,920
We should be using our faith 
every single day, and I believe 

216
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:53,240
we're not every day. 
We should be using our faith. 

217
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,640
It was not ever meant to be, 
just faith to get into the 

218
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,080
Kingdom so that we can live in 
this world and go through 

219
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:08,079
everything that this world goes 
through just like everyone else,

220
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,359
and so that one day in the sweet
by and by will be with Him in 

221
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,400
heaven. 
No, that is not the Kingdom 

222
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,000
life. 
That is not living in dominion, 

223
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,240
That is not ruling and reigning 
in this earth. 

224
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,359
He came to give us a good life. 
Come on, a prosperous life, a 

225
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:34,600
healthy life, everything, a full
supply of whatever it is that He

226
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,120
says belongs to us. 
We should be appropriating it in

227
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,760
our life by faith. 
Hallelujah. 

228
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:50,280
And I'm here to stir faith up in
you once again, to say, am I 

229
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,960
truly activating faith that God 
had the measure that God has 

230
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:02,440
given me to bring a supply in 
the Kingdom of God for such a 

231
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,200
time as this? 
Amen. 

232
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:10,560
Until we see him return, 
Hallelujah, glory to God, say 

233
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,800
I'm going to stir up my faith 
because I'm going to tell you 

234
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,160
the more and more we see what's 
happening in the world, we're 

235
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:27,880
going to have to be people that 
live by faith, that live by 

236
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,840
faith. 
And living by faith is easy 

237
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,440
because he said, take my yoke. 
It is easy. 

238
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,960
But living by faith is 
completely against everything 

239
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,040
you see. 
And we'll make you look crazy, 

240
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,800
just like those four crazy 
friends that drop busted through

241
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,360
the roof and brought their 
friend down for healing, right? 

242
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,920
You going to look crazy? 
And the thing about it is, has 

243
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,880
we, have we become so 
politically correct, correct as 

244
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,600
believers that we don't even 
want to have some crazy faith 

245
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,720
anymore 'cause we don't want 
anybody thinking we're crazy. 

246
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,720
I don't care what people think. 
And I'd much rather go to a 

247
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,640
church that had some crazy 
people with some crazy faith 

248
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,600
that go to a dead style, burnt 
out religious exercise. 

249
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,480
Come on. 
And a bunch of hypocrisy and a 

250
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,080
bunch of unholiness and 
ungodliness all through the 

251
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:47,960
church. 
Come on, we got to get radical 

252
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,880
again. 
I'm telling you, we're asleep. 

253
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:59,080
And we need some radical 
believers again that will 

254
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,160
actually live this thing out and
don't care what people think and

255
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,920
call it for what it is. 
Amen. 

256
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,800
We've gotten too quiet. 
We've let the world lull us to 

257
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,640
sleep and hush us up so that we 
can be politically correct. 

258
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,160
We need to just bust through 
those walls. 

259
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,960
We see that once we get born 
again. 

260
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,840
I like to say it this way. 
The seed of faith gets 

261
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,040
impregnated within us and then 
begins to germinate. 

262
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,720
It's the seed of faith. 
He calls it in Romans, and I 

263
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,400
have it down here. 
Romans 12 verse three, which I'm

264
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,760
jumping ahead. 
Romans 12 verse three says, For 

265
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,600
I say through the grace which 
has been given to me and to 

266
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,200
everyone that is among you, not 
to have high thoughts above what

267
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,440
he should think, but to think so
as to be wise as God has dealt 

268
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,520
to each a measure of faith. 
Say I have a measure of faith. 

269
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,920
Every single believer has a 
measure of faith. 

270
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,440
And guess what? 
God's measuring whether or not 

271
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,760
you're using what He has 
allotted you, because when you 

272
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,680
look up that word measure, 
that's what it means. 

273
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:30,800
I have allotted you an amount of
faith that you will need for the

274
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,720
rest of your life in this walk 
with Him until He returns. 

275
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,320
You and every one of us have 
been given a measure of faith, 

276
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:46,680
and He expects us to be using 
it, allotted an amount for us, 

277
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,560
for the grace upon our lives and
whatever it is that He needs for

278
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,880
us to accomplish in the earth. 
You have been given the measure 

279
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:05,720
of faith and it's up to us to 
appropriate that faith, come on,

280
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:14,000
and to use that faith to produce
that faith, to increase that 

281
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:22,880
faith, to increase that faith. 
You know, I love what Brother 

282
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,840
Hagin used to say. 
You know, everybody comes in and

283
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,560
they hear the message of faith. 
You know, the Word of Faith that

284
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,360
he was called to teach his 
people, go and teach God's 

285
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:37,560
people faith. 
And he did that for all these 

286
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,040
years. 
And now Pastor Hagin doing that.

287
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,680
And I remember when we had 
nothing and God called us to 

288
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,280
move to Bible school with three 
kids, no money, no place to go, 

289
00:22:53,280 --> 00:23:01,520
and we had to appropriate faith 
or we would have died. 

290
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,520
We would have went hungry. 
We would not have had a job, 

291
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,120
gotten a job. 
You know, we wouldn't have been 

292
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,240
able to take care of our kids. 
And we didn't know anything 

293
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,160
about faith other than God gave 
us a measure of faith. 

294
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,520
And if he called us to go out to
Oklahoma, sell everything that 

295
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,520
we own, which was not a lot, 
pick up our three kids and move 

296
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,520
them across the nation, that we 
didn't know anybody had no job 

297
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,000
waiting for us. 
No. 

298
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,440
Well, the apartment we thought 
we had waiting on us ended up 

299
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,120
being a sublease that someone 
subleased piece out that the 

300
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,360
apartment landlord didn't know 
they were doing. 

301
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:45,840
And when we get there, you know 
that is a whole nother story. 

302
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,560
And maybe through this next few 
weeks we'll share about that 

303
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,760
because I need you to see the 
progression of faith. 

304
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:10,880
Faith calls you to get out into 
the unknown where all you have 

305
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,480
is the substance of faith, which
we're going to read in a minute.

306
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,520
That's all you have. 
And if that don't work? 

307
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,640
And that's what we had to remind
God. 

308
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:31,240
If this don't work, it's on you 
because we're telling you we 

309
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,360
believe you and we're going to 
be obedient and we're going to 

310
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:38,400
be willing to pick up our three 
kids and go to the unknown 

311
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,200
because that's where you're 
calling us. 

312
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,960
And if it all crumbles and 
crashes, I'm going to tell 

313
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,880
everybody you did it. 
God, either this thing works or 

314
00:24:52,880 --> 00:25:01,840
it don't, and I can assure you 
it worked and we might get into 

315
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,760
some testimonies later on. 
But anyway, so the measure of 

316
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:13,080
faith, the minute you get born 
again, is the seed that you need

317
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,320
to begin to allow to germinate 
within your heart, because we 

318
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,160
have to believe in our heart, 
remember. 

319
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:29,520
So the seed now of the Word of 
Faith is planted in our heart 

320
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:36,120
and we have to then begin to 
believe and exercise and apply 

321
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:41,560
the faith of God in our life. 
And as we do that, it begins to 

322
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,680
germinate and it begins to grow 
and it begins to increase within

323
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:51,880
our life, but it only comes 
through US allowing it to 

324
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,400
operate. 
OK, Pastor talked about this 

325
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,880
Sunday. 
Remember, he talked about the 

326
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,440
choke conspiracy conspiracy. 
And he talked about the seed of 

327
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,160
the word being sown into the 
heart. 

328
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,760
And there was multiple, you 
know, things that the seed fell 

329
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:16,000
on the wayside, the the seed, 
you know, fell on good ground. 

330
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,600
But then the seeds, you know, 
got choked out by what the cares

331
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,720
of this world and the 
deceitfulness of riches and it 

332
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,800
did not produce. 
So again, we've been given the 

333
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,560
seed of faith or the measure of 
faith. 

334
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,800
And we have to ask ourselves in 
this parable, what does our 

335
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,560
heart look like? 
Because when you finish reading 

336
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:50,080
that he talks about and it will 
produce some 30, some 60 and 

337
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,600
some a hundredfold. 
I'm not going to read it. 

338
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,840
I'm just thinking of what he was
talking about on Sunday and 

339
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:02,640
correlating it to faith. 
So it's going to produce and the

340
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,520
3060 and 100 is all dependent on
you. 

341
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,720
It's not dependent on what God's
going to do. 

342
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:16,640
It's only going to be dependent 
on what you're going to do with 

343
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,400
the seed that's been sown in 
your heart and how you've 

344
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,840
prepared your heart and what 
you're doing to protect your 

345
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:32,160
heart to allow faith to continue
to grow within it, right? 

346
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,840
And be. 
Now look at Luke 17. 

347
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,880
I do want to read this Luke 17, 
five and six. 

348
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:46,800
It says the apostles said to the
Lord, increase our faith. 

349
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,160
And the Lord said, if you had 
faith like a mustard seed, you 

350
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,480
would say to this Mulberry tree 
be uprooted and be planted in 

351
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:04,120
the sea, and it would obey you. 
So here we see in this Scripture

352
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,600
that the Lord is, they're asking
of the Lord to increase their 

353
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,680
faith. 
And you know what the Lord is 

354
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,480
telling them? 
Use the faith I've already given

355
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,040
you. 
If you'll just speak right, if 

356
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:23,080
you'll just believe, if you'll 
just use the faith of a mustard 

357
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,920
seed. 
And we have to ask ourselves, 

358
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:31,400
are we using faith of a mustard 
seed? 

359
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,080
Because there is great things 
that can be done with just that 

360
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:45,960
little bitty seed if we are 
appropriating it in our life 

361
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:52,360
correctly, if we're truly 
believing it in our heart and 

362
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,040
standing on the promises of God 
so that you can see these things

363
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,640
take place in your life. 
Because you're going to have to 

364
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,720
activate it by believing it. 
Now, when you look up that word 

365
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:12,760
believe or belief in Scripture, 
and when you look up faith, it 

366
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,960
means the same thing. 
It's the same thing, faith and 

367
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,720
belief. 
So you can interchange those 

368
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,440
words. 
OK, So when we are saying 

369
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,240
believe in God or believe in 
what He said in his promise or 

370
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,800
you know, whatever the 
Scriptures may say, what he's 

371
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:37,560
saying is have faith in God, 
have faith in God and what you 

372
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:44,400
are believing, that's what your 
faith has to be activated with, 

373
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:52,400
OK, You have to believe. 
So in Romans 117 it says this 

374
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:59,840
faith is to be lived by faith is
just not something we say like 

375
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,040
in the military, all the guys or
even when you go to the 

376
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:09,760
hospital, they have to say their
religion or their faith. 

377
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,960
Or when you go to the hospital 
and you fill out papers because 

378
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:19,440
you may be having a life serious
surgery, they make you fill out.

379
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,480
Well, they used to. 
I don't know if they even do 

380
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,960
anymore. 
Who knows, maybe they don't even

381
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:29,200
care. 
But today, you know, but usually

382
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,480
there's a chap Chapel at 
hospitals and different things, 

383
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,120
you know, but they always ask 
you what your faith is or what 

384
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,240
your religion is. 
And that's about the gist of 

385
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,880
most people's life. 
Oh yeah, I'm a Catholic. 

386
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,400
Oh yeah, I'm a this. 
Oh yeah, I'm a that. 

387
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,200
But He lets us know in Scripture
that this is something we are to

388
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,880
live by. 
This is something we are to live

389
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,840
by. 
So if we're to live by it, then 

390
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:10,880
He has to begin to show us how 
to activate this in our everyday

391
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,640
life. 
OK, Romans 117 says this. 

392
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,560
For in it the righteousness of 
God is revealed from faith to 

393
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,760
faith. 
And here's another Scripture 

394
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,840
from faith to faith, which 
proves to us that we should be 

395
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,480
going from faith to faith. 
We should be increasing in our 

396
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,600
faith. 
We should be going to another. 

397
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,400
Oh, I know what I was going to 
say about Brother Hagin. 

398
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,360
I never got to it. 
Yeah, he said. 

399
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,840
I see all these people, they 
hear all these testimonies of 

400
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,120
how people believe God by faith 
for this or that and they say 

401
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,320
they're going to believe God for
$1,000,000. 

402
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,560
Yet they can't even believe God 
that they're going to have 

403
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,920
enough money to fill up their 
tank of gas. 

404
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,280
And, and have you seen 
Christians? 

405
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,040
I'm going to be the next Joyce 
Meyers, but they're living from,

406
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,200
you know, paycheck to paycheck, 
not taking care of their kids, 

407
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,080
you know, whatever I mean, that 
is not living by faith. 

408
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,280
We're to live by this thing that
we believe. 

409
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,480
We're to live by it. 
That means we're to govern our 

410
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,960
life. 
We're going to see this in a 

411
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,680
minute. 
Govern our life by faith. 

412
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,840
That's the only thing that is to
govern my life, and that is 

413
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,520
faith. 
Faith in the Son of God, the 

414
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,840
Word of God. 
Amen. 

415
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,680
So he says this. 
He says we're to go from faith 

416
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,880
to faith as it is written. 
But the righteous man shall 

417
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,400
what? 
Say it again. 

418
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:48,600
Shall what? 
Say it again, Say it again. 

419
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,360
Say it like you mean it. 
That's good. 

420
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,200
That's good. 
That's how we ought to be 

421
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,960
because we will not live by 
anything we truly don't believe.

422
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,840
You can say it all day long, but
do you truly believe it? 

423
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,240
And the way that you know, you 
truly believe it is that when 

424
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,480
you're getting put in the 
situations from day-to-day that 

425
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:22,200
you have to appropriate this in 
that situation and in that 

426
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,320
circumstance that is living by 
faith. 

427
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,600
When you get a bill show up 
that's unexpected, do you 

428
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:36,040
crumble and fall and pull out 
your hair and ring and sweat and

429
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,360
think, Oh my God, what are we 
going to do? 

430
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,960
The first thing I think of God, 
you knew this bill was getting 

431
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,400
ready to come, and you know what
else next? 

432
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:55,000
You know that I'm a giver, that 
I'm a tither, and you said you 

433
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,360
would rebuke the devourer and 
you would provide for your 

434
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,080
people. 
I remind you of your word 

435
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:07,000
because I believe God, that you 
are my provider. 

436
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:13,600
You are Jehovah Jireh, my 
provider, Hallelujah, and you 

437
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,480
will take care of all of my 
needs according to your riches 

438
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,480
in glory. 
So I don't know how you're going

439
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,719
to do it, but I believe you 
will. 

440
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:28,120
And you just show me how to 
navigate so that we can take 

441
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,080
care of this thing. 
But I'm not going to worry about

442
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,280
it another day because you told 
me to seek first the Kingdom of 

443
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,960
God and his righteousness. 
Come on. 

444
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:39,600
And everything else would be 
added to me. 

445
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,080
And not to be worried about what
I'm going to eat or what I'm 

446
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,000
going to drink or what I'm going
to wear or anything else that 

447
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,600
this world, all of these cares. 
I'm not going to worry about it 

448
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,719
one bit because I trust God. 
I believe God. 

449
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,400
I know what His word says and 
when I I've done all the stand, 

450
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,600
I'm going to stand on the 
unfallable word of God. 

451
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,400
That is faith. 
I am firmly persuaded that my 

452
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,760
God will not fail me. 
Hallelujah. 

453
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,400
I mean, that's the tenacity that
we have to have when we see 

454
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:25,360
that, he says in Hebrews 11/1 
and six Now faith is the 

455
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,200
substance of things hoped for, 
the evidence of things not seen.

456
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,800
No, faith is a confident 
expectation. 

457
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,040
And I am firmly persuaded that 
my God will not fail me. 

458
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,040
He never has come on. 
And if it don't come when it's 

459
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,760
supposed to come, I don't care 
because he's going to work it 

460
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,280
out and show me the plan. 
I'm not going to doubt my God, 

461
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,440
and I'm not going to say he 
couldn't do it. 

462
00:35:53,720 --> 00:36:02,120
Never will. 
I never Hallelujah because he 

463
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,840
said he'd never leave his seed 
begging for bread. 

464
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,880
We're not beggars. 
We got to get that mentality out

465
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,520
of our mind. 
Nobody owes us anything. 

466
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,040
We are not victims, we are not 
beggars. 

467
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,920
We do not have a poverty 
mentality. 

468
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:34,240
We have a Kingdom mentality. 
We got to get all all that mess 

469
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:38,080
out of our minds. 
I don't care where you came 

470
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,560
from. 
I don't care what side of track 

471
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:50,240
you came from. 
Come on, we are not broke people

472
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,720
and we never will be if we do 
His word. 

473
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,080
But you got to believe it. 
You have to believe it. 

474
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,280
You have to believe it. 
You have to be firmly persuaded.

475
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:12,920
Hebrews 1038 But my righteous 
one shall live by faith, and if 

476
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:19,520
he shrinks back, my soul will 
have no what pleasure in him. 

477
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:24,440
I'm telling you, when things get
tight in the world, you see 

478
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,960
people shrink back and believers
in the church. 

479
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:36,040
I mean, it's one thing, you 
know, you're believing that 

480
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:41,440
there would be 100% of people 
that come that are tithers 

481
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,880
because they actually believe 
the word. 

482
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,120
But you don't have that. 
Never has there been that step 

483
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,600
in the Old Testament when when 
they had to stop the people from

484
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,240
bringing, you know, to build the
Tabernacle. 

485
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:08,280
But the world's done a great job
of distorting all of that. 

486
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,760
But anyway, I don't want to get 
on that. 

487
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:16,040
But you know, it would be 
wonderful if 100% of people that

488
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,960
say they're believers and that 
go to church and that this is 

489
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,680
where their storehouse is, would
tithe. 

490
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,480
We could, man. 
There is no telling what could 

491
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:30,600
be happening in this place. 
But anyway, but when the World 

492
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:36,160
Economic system, which you know,
all of the talk, you know, stock

493
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,080
markets are plummeting, you 
know, economics, all this stuff 

494
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,760
is happening. 
You know how much you're paying 

495
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,440
for eggs and milk now compared 
to what we were. 

496
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:56,880
All these things happening, but 
the church gets tight and we 

497
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:03,000
shouldn't even be operating like
that on the ups and downs of the

498
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:10,520
stock market. 
But if you want to operate like 

499
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,160
the world operates, then you're 
going to have the fluctuation 

500
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,840
like the world has. 
But if you want to just steady 

501
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:24,520
cruise on through and have 
plenty in the time of famine, 

502
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:31,560
then you have to be steady. 
You have to be steady. 

503
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,440
Hallelujah. 
You can't shrink back. 

504
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:44,000
No, what you need to do is stir 
up your faith and trusting God 

505
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,560
and not what's happening in the 
world. 

506
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,880
We stir up our faith when we see
these things happening, right? 

507
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,240
Hallelujah. 
Because that's how we are to 

508
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,880
live by faith. 2nd Corinthians 5
seven says for we do not. 

509
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:05,520
For we walk by faith and not by 
sight. 

510
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,320
So we should not be walking by 
what we're seeing in the stock 

511
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:15,240
markets is what we're saying 
because true people of faith 

512
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:18,200
that believe God, it doesn't 
matter what they're saying. 

513
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,120
We're going to be consistent in 
what we know God has said. 

514
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,520
Right. 
And we're going to activate our 

515
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,760
faith in the midst. 
That's how we are to live by 

516
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,960
this thing. 
We live by faith. 

517
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:38,400
That means when everything else 
is shaken, I'm stable, I'm 

518
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,640
secure, I'm standing on a rock, 
come on. 

519
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:49,080
Because I have my feet planted 
on the rock of Jesus Christ and 

520
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,960
I'm doing what He says that we 
need to do in his economic 

521
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,280
system and not this world, 
right? 

522
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,000
Because this is how we are to 
live by faith. 

523
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,040
And we could talk not just about
finances. 

524
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,040
We could talk about other 
scenarios that we are to live 

525
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:15,360
by, by faith, right? 
I'm not going to live like the 

526
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,800
world lives when it comes to 
raising my children. 

527
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,960
I'm going to raise them by faith
and what His Word says I need to

528
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,680
do with my children. 
I'm not going to let the world 

529
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,200
convince me that my child is not
a boy when he's a boy. 

530
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,080
No, I'm going to live by faith 
and I'm going to teach them what

531
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,800
the word of God says, that God 
created man and woman. 

532
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,800
You see what I'm saying? 
This is how we live by faith. 

533
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,520
We don't take on the world's 
mantra. 

534
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,520
We live by faith in His word and
what His word says. 

535
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:05,200
So let's look at Hebrews 11, 
Hebrews 11, Hebrews 11/1 through

536
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:10,360
three, and I'm going to read. 
I have both of the words that 

537
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,040
King James says and the New 
American Standard Bible says. 

538
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:19,000
Now faith is the substance I put
them together, or the assurance 

539
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:24,760
of things hoped for, the 
conviction or evidence of things

540
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,880
not seen. 
For by it the men of old gained 

541
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,080
approval by faith. 
We understand that the world's 

542
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:37,360
were prepared by the What if the
world's were prepared by the 

543
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:50,800
Word, and he just impregnated us
with His word, the Word of 

544
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:57,960
Faith? 
Come on, how can we not have 

545
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:04,080
faith in God when it comes to 
our life, in the circumstances 

546
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,280
and the situations that we're 
going through, when He can 

547
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,960
create the world with His Word 
and He tells us that we are to 

548
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:21,160
live by His Word, we're to live 
by it. 

549
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,600
So now faith is when you look 
that up, it is a firm 

550
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:30,040
persuasion. 
Another way you can say it is a 

551
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,920
confident expectation. 
And this is what we say. 

552
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:41,120
Faith is a firm persuasion, a 
confident expectation based on 

553
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:49,960
your belief in the word and 
accepting it as truth and is 

554
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:55,200
adhering to it. 
Not just reading the word and 

555
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,880
thinking, oh, that's good. 
No, I'm going to read the word, 

556
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,840
I'm going to hear what it has to
say. 

557
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,960
I'm going to believe it as 
truth, and then I'm going to 

558
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,120
adhere to it. 
I'm actually going to do it in 

559
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,480
my life. 
That is true biblical faith. 

560
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,800
You are firmly persuaded. 
You are in a confident 

561
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,080
expectation. 
You have full assurance. 

562
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:30,240
You believe it as truth. 
You adhere to it so firmly that 

563
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:35,280
it governs your life. 
It governs what you think, what 

564
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:44,840
you say, and what you do. 
That means I live by it. 

565
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:51,520
The words that I speak are his 
words, the things that I think. 

566
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:56,280
I don't set my mind on earthly 
things, but I set my mind on 

567
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,880
things above. 
Come on, these are this is what 

568
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,680
we're talking about. 
I don't think the way this world

569
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,160
thinks anymore because I've 
allowed His word to transform my

570
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,560
mind. 
Romans 12/1 and two transform my

571
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,880
mind by renewing it to the word 
of God. 

572
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,960
So I no longer think. 
I no longer process like this 

573
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,080
world. 
I don't have to have meltdowns. 

574
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,160
I don't have to have anxiety 
come on. 

575
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,800
I don't have to have fear. 
I don't have to have depression.

576
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,800
I don't have to walk in any of 
these things or think like the 

577
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,800
world thinks about anything 
anymore. 

578
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:38,200
Because if I truly believe in 
His Word, I'm going to adhere to

579
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:44,880
it as the truth. 
That is my truth, that is my 

580
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,680
truth. 
I don't know what all truth 

581
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,560
y'all believe in, but this is my
truth right here. 

582
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,760
That's my truth and that's what 
I'm sticking with. 

583
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,240
Hallelujah. 
So because I'm firmly persuaded,

584
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:10,560
this thing don't fail, it's been
proven in my life for 33 years 

585
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:16,480
of walking it out. 
It's proven, it's tried, it's 

586
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,000
true, it works. 
It will not fail. 

587
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,560
Come on. 
So you have to be firmly 

588
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,920
persuaded. 
And when you are firmly 

589
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:32,920
persuaded, then it will begin to
govern all the things that 

590
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,920
you're thinking, what you're 
saying and what you're doing. 

591
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,320
And this is how we know if 
you're really living a life of 

592
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:44,920
faith. 
I can know by the way you act 

593
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:52,160
and I can know by the way you 
talk if you truly believe what 

594
00:46:52,160 --> 00:47:02,040
this word says. 
So, so he says, now faith is the

595
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,120
substance. 
Let's look at that word 

596
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,240
substance. 
That word substance is a support

597
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:17,040
or it is the very thing that 
will be a secure foundation or 

598
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,240
something that you are building 
your life upon. 

599
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:27,280
It is set, you are setting it 
under is what it means securely.

600
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:32,920
It is a secure foundation. 
So faith is the substance that 

601
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:38,000
you are to build your life upon.
It is the foundation. 

602
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,200
It is the very thing that's 
going to hold you up. 

603
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:47,040
It's the very thing, come on, 
that will cause Peter to step 

604
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,120
out of the boat at his word. 
And didn't, you know, wasn't 

605
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:57,320
going to sink until he decided 
to look, till he decided to look

606
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:05,160
and live by sight of what he 
saw, because it said he saw the 

607
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,720
winds and waves. 
Because we're to live by what 

608
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:15,880
not by. 
So his substance was faith when 

609
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,440
he stepped out. 
But then he began to see the 

610
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:24,200
winds and waves and he began to 
sink because he lived by sight 

611
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,600
at that time. 
He looked at what was going on. 

612
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,640
And I'm going to tell you, faith
will put you in positions where 

613
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,400
you're going to want to look at 
what all the things that are 

614
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,040
going on in your life. 
But what do you believe? 

615
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:52,520
What do you truly believe? 
What is truly your faith in the 

616
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,760
situation that you're wanting to
look at? 

617
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:04,160
Because it's a whirlwind. 
OK, so that substance also 

618
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:10,400
figuratively means concretely or
abstract assurance. 

619
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:16,720
So it is concrete, a foundation,
a setting up under a secure 

620
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:23,800
thing that you can build your 
life upon, that you can build 

621
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,960
your life upon. 
Now, the Weymouth reads it this 

622
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,600
way. 
Now, faith means we are 

623
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,880
confident of what we hope for 
and convinced of what we do not 

624
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,880
see. 
And the Moffett translation 

625
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,320
reads it like this. 
You've heard us say this. 

626
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:44,160
Faith is the title deed of the 
things hoped for, for putting 

627
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:49,040
the proof to prove the things 
not seen. 

628
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,040
It's the title deed. 
Come on, it's already finished, 

629
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,520
already bought. 
It's already done. 

630
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:05,480
It's the title D Amen. 
Faith is the foundation that you

631
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,000
can build your life on. 
Faith is the underlining 

632
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,040
structure for your life. 
Faith is simply what you believe

633
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:21,400
and it's the foundation of 
everything that you are to build

634
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,000
your life upon. 
Amen. 

635
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,400
I want to get to that later. 
Faith must be lived out by being

636
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:35,840
acted upon for it to become a 
reality and a revelation in your

637
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,640
everyday life. 
So you can say you believe it 

638
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:49,680
all day long, but do you act 
upon it in the situations that 

639
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,160
you are confronting in your 
life? 

640
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,320
Do you act upon it when you hear
and you've been taught that it 

641
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:03,120
is God's will for you to be 
healed, healthy, whole, that 

642
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,960
when you get a doctor's report, 
come on and it says, you know 

643
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:13,080
you have the big C word. 
What is now your faith? 

644
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,720
Is it stable and fixed because 
it's been built upon the 

645
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:23,280
substance of faith? 
When you hear the word cancer, 

646
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,800
if that was to come, or do you 
know what His Word says? 

647
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:40,040
That by His stripes I am healed.
Healing belongs to His covenant 

648
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,360
children. 
Come on. 

649
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,920
And I don't care what the doctor
says, my God can bring forth 

650
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,840
healing to my body right now. 
And then I don't have to die 

651
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:55,880
like everybody else had to die. 
Do you truly believe it? 

652
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,920
Well, you know, there's lots of 
people that say they do until 

653
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:05,680
they hear that report. 
And that's where it's going to 

654
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:10,240
prove. 
Test yourself to see if you're 

655
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:16,400
really in faith or when they 
tell you your job is getting 

656
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,440
ready to go bankrupt your whole 
company and everybody's getting 

657
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:27,360
ready to lose their job. 
Oh and guess what, your 401K 

658
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,040
isn't there either because they 
didn't do it right. 

659
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,600
I don't know if that can even be
possible but anyway, just 

660
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,120
saying. 
Fits up to the devil. 

661
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,520
He can do it. 
He can take it all because his 

662
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:50,760
his mode is what to he wants to 
steal everything you have and 

663
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:56,400
destroy everything you have. 
So what are you going to do in 

664
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,600
those moments? 
Do you truly believe and have 

665
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:04,200
faith in God? 
Come on. 

666
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:09,160
So it's in those moments that 
you now begin to have to act 

667
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,440
upon what you believe. 
You act upon it. 

668
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:17,480
Look at James 214 through 26. 
It says what good is it, dear 

669
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:22,520
brothers and sisters, if you say
you have faith but you do not 

670
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:28,000
show it by your what? 
Remember, faith is to govern 

671
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,120
your life. 
What you think, what you say, 

672
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:36,080
and what you do doing is action,
right? 

673
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:42,880
Saying is confession. 
Thinking is you and what you're 

674
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,040
meditating on, right? 
So what are you thinking? 

675
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,640
What are you saying, and what 
are you doing in these moments? 

676
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,360
And this truly shows you where 
your faith is. 

677
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,200
So you can say you have faith, 
but if you don't show it by your

678
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:02,160
actions, can that kind of faith 
save anyone? 

679
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,520
Suppose you see a brother or 
sister who has no food or 

680
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,000
clothing, and you say goodbye 
and have a good day, stay warm 

681
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,400
and eat well. 
But then you don't give that 

682
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,640
person any food or clothing. 
What good does that do? 

683
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:25,520
So you see, faith by itself 
isn't enough. 

684
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,000
So I know tons of people that 
come in and say, Oh yeah, I 

685
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,760
believe God. 
Oh yeah, and we'll get into 

686
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,600
this. 
And it's all about your house 

687
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:40,320
and your boat and your 'cause it
got off over into the extreme 

688
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:46,080
and all you worried about is 
faith for you and yours and, and

689
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:51,240
what belongs to you instead of 
faith to believe that my, my 

690
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:57,280
stuff's already taken care of. 
So now my belief is in helping 

691
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,120
everybody else bring them up to 
a place. 

692
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:09,520
When are we going to get there 
in the American church? 

693
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,000
So he says, What good does that 
do? 

694
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,760
So you see, faith by itself, 
it's not enough. 

695
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:23,600
Unless it produces good deeds, 
it is dead and useless. 

696
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,440
Now someone may argue some 
people have faith, others have 

697
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,000
good deeds. 
But I say, how can you show me 

698
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,640
your faith if you don't have 
good deeds? 

699
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,200
I'll show you my faith by my 
good deeds. 

700
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:40,640
And you say you have faith. 
For you believe that there is 

701
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,640
one God good for you. 
Even the demons believe this. 

702
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,360
So you can believe just as good 
as a demon can, and then they 

703
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,480
tremble even in terror. 
Oh, how foolish. 

704
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,080
Can't you see that faith without
good deeds is useless? 

705
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,400
Don't you remember that our 
ancestor Abraham was shown to be

706
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,080
right with God by his actions 
when he offered his son Isaac on

707
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,720
the altar? 
For you see his faith and his 

708
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:16,640
actions what work together. 
So faith without action is dead.

709
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,920
It's dead and the action comes 
when you're in the midst of the 

710
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,000
battle and you want to do 
something else. 

711
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:32,040
Come on. 
And you want to think a 

712
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:37,040
different way. 
But do you truly believe what 

713
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,440
His word says about that 
situation? 

714
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,360
And if you do, then you're going
to act upon that and not about 

715
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:48,960
your feelings or how you feel, 
because faith goes completely 

716
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:53,560
against your feelings. 
Faith does not care about your 

717
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,160
feelings. 
Period. 

718
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,920
We cannot live by sight. 
We cannot live by how we feel 

719
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,680
and get wrapped up in the 
emotions of the situation 

720
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:09,280
instead of actually being a doer
of the word of God in the midst 

721
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,520
of that situation. 
That argument, come on that 

722
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:24,840
whatever I mean, do you believe 
God, that God can work this out 

723
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,480
right? 
And then you'll say it, you'll 

724
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,720
act on it and you'll act 
differently. 

725
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,640
So he says here he was even 
called the friend of God. 

726
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:43,520
So you see, we are shown to be 
right with God by what we do, 

727
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,640
not faith alone. 
Oh that's where he counted him 

728
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,440
faithful. 
Sorry I skipped a scripture. 

729
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,160
Rahab the prostitute is another 
example. 

730
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,680
She was shown to be right with 
God by her actions when she hid 

731
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:01,480
those messengers and sent them 
safely away by a different Rd. 

732
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:06,480
Just as the body is dead without
breath, so also faith is dead 

733
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:14,440
without works. 
Your faith has to be acted upon.

734
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:21,440
There will be works that will be
required for you to produce to 

735
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:26,400
prove that you are in faith. 
Just like when you don't have 

736
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,280
the money like I didn't. 
When God called us to go to 

737
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,200
Bible school before He went, we 
went to Rhema because we went to

738
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,240
the wrong Bible school because 
at that time we didn't know 

739
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,920
anything about being led by the 
Spirit of God. 

740
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:45,720
Not we just knew he called us 
and we knew we knew nobody in 

741
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,440
the ministry knew we didn't. 
We didn't have mentors. 

742
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:49,960
We didn't know what we were 
doing. 

743
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,960
All we know is that there was a 
call. 

744
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:57,720
And so we chose to go to a Bible
school in South Carolina because

745
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,040
one of my stepbrothers, ex 
stepbrother, he's not a 

746
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:05,800
stepbrother anymore, but was in 
that Bible school. 

747
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,880
He's not even serving the Lord 
today, actually, You know, he 

748
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:15,680
owns a marijuana farm. 
Anyway, the falling away has 

749
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:23,600
begun. 
So anyway, where was I at? 

750
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:30,120
South Carolina, Yeah. 
We moved out there just because 

751
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,680
that was the only Bible school. 
That's the only thing we knew to

752
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:33,920
do. 
Well, we were called the 

753
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:35,720
ministry. 
I guess he wants us to go to, 

754
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:42,240
you know, a school. 
And so we get out there and it 

755
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,600
was a living hell. 
We had, you know, 3 little 

756
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:51,560
children at the time and no job,
no money, but we win it go. 

757
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,320
We didn't know what we were 
doing, thank God because a lot 

758
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,560
of people let knowing what to do
get them into trouble anyway. 

759
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:07,600
So we were actually living by 
faith and Brianna was little at 

760
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,680
that time. 
She was only not even a year 

761
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,800
old. 
She was only a few months old 

762
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:19,480
and we had no money. 
And we were having to get food 

763
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,800
from the college had a Co-op 
where they had food and 

764
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,480
different things like that. 
And pastor was working side jobs

765
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,480
because we had just gotten there
and he had enrolled and had a 

766
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,200
scholarship for the school and 
everything. 

767
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:38,320
But we just had enough money to 
pay our house and whatever. 

768
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:44,440
And so she was on baby formula. 
We did not even have enough 

769
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,000
money to buy a can of baby 
formula back then. 

770
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,560
So how old are you now? 
Oh my gosh. 

771
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,800
I was still hanging on to 29 
girl. 

772
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,720
So that's 30 years ago. 
And a can of formula, you know, 

773
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:07,680
the good kind, the gold kind, 
you know, back then was, I don't

774
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:11,240
even remember, maybe 10-12 
dollars. 

775
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,000
We did not even have 10 to 
$12.00 to our name to buy 

776
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:19,680
formula. 
And you know what? 

777
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:26,760
And he had made work. 
He had worked and did a side job

778
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,680
painting and he had made just 
enough and seven of it belonged 

779
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:37,360
to the Lord, $7.00 belong to the
Lord. 

780
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:42,960
Now, most people think, well, 
you're a terrible mother, that 

781
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,360
you chose to give $7.00 to the 
Lord and didn't buy your baby 

782
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,040
formula. 
But you know what? 

783
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:56,160
I did buy her cow's milk. 
So we went from formula to cow's

784
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,880
milk because it was cheaper. 
See, it was only a couple 

785
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:05,520
dollars a gallon back then, so I
had to make a choice. 

786
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,440
Am I going to give my tithe to 
the Lord? 

787
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:14,320
Because my God, it's only $7.00 
and we don't have anything else 

788
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,400
and it's not going to help me 
anyway. 

789
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:27,240
You know, what was I doing? 
Acting by faith on what His Word

790
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,920
says, that the tithe belongs to 
the Lord. 

791
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:35,120
And he would rebuke the Devourer
and meet all of my needs. 

792
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:43,120
And during that week, someone 
showed up at our doorstep with 

793
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,440
bags of groceries on the front 
door. 

794
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:54,280
Didn't know him, had not told 
anybody but my God in a whole 

795
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,720
nother place that we had just 
moved. 

796
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:02,720
Come on. 
He showed himself to be faithful

797
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,400
with the little that we had 
because we believed God. 

798
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:19,200
That's faith. 
Faith acted upon faith believing

799
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:23,320
God that if God don't come 
through then I guess we going to

800
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,640
sit right here like these that 
little widow woman and said 

801
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,560
here's my flower. 
This is all I had to the 

802
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,440
prophet. 
Come on, we going to make us a 

803
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,880
cake and we getting ready to get
dressed to die. 

804
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:41,320
That's what we were but God 
every single time. 

805
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:46,920
But God, because we actually 
believe that God could do it. 

806
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:53,160
We actually did what He said we 
were to do with what we had. 

807
01:03:53,320 --> 01:04:00,520
What do we have so that He could
then by faith, go and move on 

808
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:04,560
our behalf to bring it to what 
we needed in that moment. 

809
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,800
This is called true biblical 
faith. 

810
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:13,680
But in the United States of 
America, no one wants to live by

811
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:18,960
faith anymore. 
They want to. 

812
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,000
They want to have conferences 
about it. 

813
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,040
They want to come in and dance 
around and be excited about it. 

814
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:35,000
But when it comes down to every 
dime you have, I want to see 

815
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,680
them dance around and shout 
around because I'm not seeing 

816
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:41,360
very many that do it, that 
actually empty their account 

817
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:46,600
because God said go and you're 
stepping out on nothing but the 

818
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:52,720
substance of faith. 
That's true biblical faith. 

819
01:04:54,920 --> 01:05:03,320
True biblical faith will call 
you to do things that you have 

820
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:08,840
no capacity and no resource to 
do. 

821
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,760
And we can barely live by faith 
to just get to church on time. 

822
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:22,680
We can barely live by faith just
to, you know, maybe serve once a

823
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:27,280
month. 
We can barely. 

824
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:32,120
I'm just saying, come on. 
It is time for us to have a 

825
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:43,640
reality check of where we are at
by faith because I believe we're

826
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,440
coming in for some days and 
hours that you're going to 

827
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,360
that's the only thing you're 
going to be able to live by. 

828
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,800
And you got to know that, you 
know that. 

829
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:57,320
You know, I look at the heat the
the book of Hebrews in Chapter 

830
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:04,360
11 where we call it the hall of 
faith with all the old timers 

831
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,080
that they did all these things 
by faith. 

832
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,720
Did you see all the things they 
had to do by faith? 

833
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:15,360
They lived it, they bled by it, 
they died by it. 

834
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,840
And nobody wants to sacrifice or
suffer anymore. 

835
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:30,400
And we're not really living a 
life of faith, but I see these 

836
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:35,200
people, they gave up everything.
They gave up everything they 

837
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,560
did, whatever it took, whatever.
Let's read it and then we'll 

838
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,440
close with it. 
Because I want this to be the 

839
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:45,760
last thing you think of so that 
you can ask yourself, where am I

840
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:49,520
in my faith walk? 
Hebrews 11. 

841
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:53,000
Yes, we're going to read it now.
Faith is the assurance. 

842
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:57,400
If you need to go, that's fine. 
Now faith is the assurance of 

843
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,120
things hoped for, the conviction
of things not seen. 

844
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,120
For by it the men of old gained 
approval. 

845
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,640
By faith we understand that the 
world's were prepared by the 

846
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:12,080
word of God, so that that what 
is seen was not made out of 

847
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:15,280
things that which were are 
visible by faith. 

848
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:19,640
Abel offered to God a better 
sacrifice than Cain, through 

849
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,200
which he obtained the testimony 
that he was righteous. 

850
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:29,000
God testifying about his gifts 
and through faith, though he is 

851
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:33,480
dead, he still speaks. 
Come on, by far I want my blood 

852
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,120
to still speak. 
If there is still a earth, if 

853
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:40,920
there is still the earth and we 
are still going on, I want my 

854
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:45,240
blood to speak that people knew 
I lived by faith, and my faith 

855
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:50,200
would remain in this earth until
he burned it up and created the 

856
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,760
new one. 
Come on, does it speak? 

857
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,680
That's what I want my testimony 
to be. 

858
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:04,480
It says here it said by faith 
Enoch was taken up so that he 

859
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,440
would not see death. 
And he was not found because God

860
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:11,160
took him up. 
For he obtained the witness that

861
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,000
before he was taken up he was 
pleasing to God. 

862
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:19,399
And without faith it is 
impossible to please him, for he

863
01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:25,960
who comes to God must believe 
that he is Hallelujah. 

864
01:08:26,279 --> 01:08:33,560
He is come on, He is the great I
am, and that he is a rewarder of

865
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:38,439
those who seek him by faith. 
Noah, being warned by God about 

866
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:42,000
the things not yet seen in 
reverence, prepared an art for 

867
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:47,080
the salvation of his household, 
by which he condemned the world,

868
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:51,359
and became an heir of the 
righteousness which is according

869
01:08:51,359 --> 01:08:52,840
to faith. 
By faith. 

870
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:57,040
Abraham, when he, he was called,
obeyed by going out to a place 

871
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,040
which he was to receive for an 
inheritance. 

872
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:04,840
And we, he went out not knowing 
where he was going by faith. 

873
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:09,359
He lived as an alien in the land
of promise, as in a foreign 

874
01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:14,160
land, dwelling in tents with 
Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of

875
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,760
the same promise. 
And you know, we're heirs of 

876
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,279
that promise. 
Come on, we're inheritance of 

877
01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:23,080
that promise of Abraham. 
Glory to God, for he was looking

878
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:28,479
for that city which has 
foundations whose architect and 

879
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,720
builder is the God. 
Come on. 

880
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:36,399
By faith, even Sarah herself can
received ability to conceive 

881
01:09:36,399 --> 01:09:40,479
even beyond the proper time of 
life, since she was considered 

882
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:46,279
him faithful who had promised. 
Therefore there was born even 

883
01:09:46,279 --> 01:09:51,080
one man, and him as good, as 
dead as that, as many 

884
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:54,040
descendants as the stars of 
heaven in number, and the 

885
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:58,280
innumerable as the sand which is
by the seashore. 

886
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,840
All of these died in faith. 
Say they died in faith. 

887
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,800
I want to know that I die in 
faith. 

888
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,240
I'm so full of faith that when I
die, come on. 

889
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,160
I mean, I'm just, it's just 
faith. 

890
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:22,600
It's all that's left. 
Just faith died in faith. 

891
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,960
I've lost my spot now. 
OK, without receiving the 

892
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:29,160
promises, but having seen them, 
having welcomed them from a 

893
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,840
distance, and having confessed 
that they were strangers and 

894
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,880
exiles on the earth, come on. 
That means they were separated 

895
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,880
from this world. 
For those who say such things 

896
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,560
make it clear that they are 
seeking a country of their own. 

897
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,000
And indeed, if they had been 
thinking of that country from 

898
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,320
which they had went out, they 
would have add the opportunity 

899
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,400
to return. 
But as it is, they desire a 

900
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,640
better country, that is, a 
heavenly one. 

901
01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:00,360
Therefore God is not ashamed to 
be called their God, for He has 

902
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,560
prepared a city for them by 
faith. 

903
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:07,200
Abraham, when he was tested, 
offered up Isaac, and he who had

904
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:11,520
received the promises was 
offering up his only begotten 

905
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:17,520
Son, and it was he to him, it 
was said, And Isaac your 

906
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:21,720
descendant shall be called. 
And he considered that God was 

907
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:26,960
able to raise people even from 
the dead, from which he also 

908
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,760
received him back as a type. 
And by faith Isaac blessed Jacob

909
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,760
and Esau, even regarding things 
to come. 

910
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:39,080
And by faith Jacob, as he was 
dying, blessed each of his sons 

911
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,280
Joseph and worship, leaning on 
the top of his staff. 

912
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,520
And by faith Joseph, when he was
dying, made mention of the 

913
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:49,600
exodus of the sons of Israel, 
and gave orders concerning his 

914
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,400
bones. 
And by faith Moses, when he was 

915
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:56,720
born, was hidden three months by
his parents, because they saw 

916
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:00,040
that he was a beautiful child, 
and they were not afraid of the 

917
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:05,480
King's edict. 
By faith Moses, when he grew up,

918
01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:07,960
refused to be called the son of 
Pharaoh. 

919
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,920
And all the fame and all the 
fortune that would come to that.

920
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:14,960
That's my translation. 
Choosing rather to endure I'll 

921
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,960
treatment with the people of 
God, than to enjoy the passing 

922
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,680
pleasures of sin, considering 
the reproach of Christ, 

923
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:27,680
gathering greater riches than 
the treasures of Egypt, For he 

924
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:31,440
was looking to the reward. 
By faith He left Egypt, not 

925
01:12:31,440 --> 01:12:35,720
fearing the wrath of the king, 
for he endured as seen Him who 

926
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,880
is unseen. 
By faith He kept the Passover 

927
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,600
and the sprinkling of the blood,
so that what He who destroyed 

928
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,400
the first born would not touch 
them. 

929
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,840
By faith they pass through the 
Red Sea as they were passing 

930
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,520
through dry land, and the 
Egyptians when they attempted 

931
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,280
were drowned. 
And by faith the walls of 

932
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,960
Jericho fell down, And after 
they had been encircled for 

933
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:03,680
seven days by faith, Rahab the 
harlot did not perish along with

934
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:07,440
those who were disobedient, 
after she had welcomed the spies

935
01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:10,280
in peace. 
And what more shall I say? 

936
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:15,720
For time will fail me if I tell 
of Gideon and Barack and and 

937
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:20,080
Sampson and Jet the and David 
and Samuel and all the prophets 

938
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:23,440
who by faith conquer kingdoms, 
and performed acts of 

939
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:27,240
righteousness, and obtained 
promises, and shut the mouths of

940
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,760
alliance. 
Come on and quench the the power

941
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,480
of fire, and escape the edge of 
the sword. 

942
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:40,560
For weaknesses were made strong,
became mighty in war, put 

943
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:44,960
foreign armies to flight. 
Women received back their dead 

944
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,360
by the resurrection. 
Come on. 

945
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:51,840
And others were tortured, not 
accepting their release so that 

946
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:55,120
they might obtain a better 
resurrection. 

947
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:59,120
Others experienced knockings and
scourgings. 

948
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,760
All poor thing. 
Being politically correct. 

949
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,280
Yes, also chains and 
imprisonments. 

950
01:14:05,480 --> 01:14:11,240
Come on, they were stoned. 
They they were sawn in two. 

951
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,680
They were tempted, they were put
to death with the sword. 

952
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:19,200
They went about in sheepskins 
and goat skins, being destitute,

953
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,680
afflicted. 
I'll treated men of holes in the

954
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,520
ground. 
And all of these having gained 

955
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:32,640
approval through their faith for
us, so that apart from us, they 

956
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:39,840
would not be made perfect. 
Wow, wow. 

957
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:46,440
By faith, this is how they 
lived. 

958
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,520
Glory to God. 
And we need to ask ourselves, 

959
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:59,560
are we living by faith the way 
the word of God tells us that 

960
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:04,760
what faith looks like and how 
faith acts, that means we are 

961
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:08,840
going, we're not going to have 
to suffer all these things that 

962
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:13,840
they did, but we will have to 
suffer in this life to crucify 

963
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:18,520
this flesh, to not go along with
the world and the world's way 

964
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,480
and to do his will and to do his
purposes. 

965
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,600
They're going to be things that 
we're going to encounter. 

966
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,000
Mockings, he said. 
Rejoice when people talk about 

967
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:30,280
you. 
Come on. 

968
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:34,280
I mean, nobody wants to be 
talked about poor little thing 

969
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:38,760
anymore and then won't come back
to church because so and so 

970
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,000
talked about them and hurt their
feelings. 

971
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:47,360
Give me a break. 
What have we become? 

972
01:15:49,480 --> 01:15:55,640
Come on, what have we been? 
This is called living a life of 

973
01:15:55,640 --> 01:16:01,000
faith. 
This is not a religious 

974
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:09,920
exercise. 
This Is Us adhering to His Word 

975
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:16,560
with everything that is within 
us and believing God in the 

976
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:20,600
midst of whatever it is. 
Then I'm going to live for Him, 

977
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:23,800
and I could care less what 
anybody else does. 

978
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,720
I'm going to follow Him. 
I'm going to live for Him. 

979
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,200
I'm going to stand up for 
righteousness. 

980
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,400
I'm going to stand up for 
holiness. 

981
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:36,480
I'm going to stand in the face 
of the battle and in the fight 

982
01:16:36,480 --> 01:16:40,280
because He tells me to fight the
good fight of faith. 

983
01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:43,480
That means there's going to be 
things that we're going to have 

984
01:16:43,480 --> 01:16:53,760
to get fighting mad about for us
to walk some things out that he 

985
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:58,640
needs us to do in this last day 
and in this hour. 

986
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:02,720
And I'm going to tell you it is 
not going to happen by weak 

987
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:10,120
Christians, Americanized, 
selfish Christians that do not 

988
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:13,160
know what true biblical faith 
really is. 

989
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,760
And I don't care how many 
conferences you go to that tell 

990
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:21,320
you what faith is and how faith 
comes and da, da, da, da, da. 

991
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:26,080
And yet one little trial you 
can't even press through and go 

992
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:30,280
through. 
You can't even believe God for 

993
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:34,880
your marriage to be restored, 
for your children to not be 

994
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:40,880
rebellious. 
Come on, we got to think about 

995
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:45,560
this. 
He tells us to test ourselves to

996
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:52,040
see if we are truly in faith. 
You know, and I graduated from 

997
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:58,240
the school of Mark 1122 and 24 
and Jesus answered saying to 

998
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:02,840
them, have faith in God. 
And we can literally translate 

999
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,440
that. 
Have the God kind of faith. 

1000
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,720
That's the kind of faith he 
wants us to have. 

1001
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:16,480
God faith, not religious faith, 
not fake faith. 

1002
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,280
Come on. 
Not all this wishful thinking 

1003
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:24,040
that God's going to know. 
How are you firmly persuaded 

1004
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:29,960
that you'll risk your whole life
on this word and what His Word 

1005
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:34,440
says, who He is and what He says
He can do? 

1006
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:39,840
Because that's when I truly know
I believe God. 

1007
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:46,040
I have faith in God that His 
Word will not fail. 

1008
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:55,000
Do you believe that He truly is,
That He is, come on, the Creator

1009
01:18:55,000 --> 01:19:00,160
of heaven and earth, That He is 
the beginning and the end, That 

1010
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:02,640
He is God and that there is no 
other? 

1011
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:07,120
That He is holy? 
Come on, That He is Emmanuel, 

1012
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:11,240
God with us. 
Come on, That He is my 

1013
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:15,240
deliverer. 
Come on, that He is my Redeemer.

1014
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:19,920
That He is my defense? 
Come on, that He is my 

1015
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:26,720
righteousness, that He is my 
healer, that He is my victory, 

1016
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:33,440
That He is my provider, That He 
is my rock, He is my shield, He 

1017
01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:37,920
is my strong tower. 
Come on, He is almighty power 

1018
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:42,680
and almighty God and all the one
of all authority. 

1019
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:47,520
That He is who He says He is. 
Hallelujah. 

1020
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:51,400
That He is my help. 
It's time of trouble. 

1021
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:55,080
Glory to God. 
Do you believe it? 

1022
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,240
Come on then, we got to start 
acting like it. 

1023
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,760
We have to start acting like it.
Come on. 

1024
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:09,600
We have to start walking this 
thing out and acting like we do 

1025
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:16,280
believe who he is. 
Hallelujah, Glory to God that He

1026
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:20,320
is the author and finisher of my
faith. 

1027
01:20:20,440 --> 01:20:29,520
Hallelujah, glory to God that He
is the King of glory and that he

1028
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:34,320
is returning. 
Hallelujah for his bride. 

1029
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,680
Glory to God, glory to God. 
Say I have faith. 

1030
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,240
Come on, stand up and say I have
faith.
