Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:16,300
Now enjoy this message. 
All right let's have a word of 

4
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:20,800
prayer and then I'm going to I 
am going to ask a question and I

5
00:00:20,808 --> 00:00:23,300
want some response, get up here.
What did you stay right there? 

6
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:24,500
You'll be fine. 
You'll be fine. 

7
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:26,800
You just gave birth. 
You're good. 

8
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:28,500
All right, let's have a word of 
prayer. 

9
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:29,800
Father, we thank you and praise 
you. 

10
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:33,500
In the name of Jesus tonight as 
we come and the things that you 

11
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:37,600
put in my heart for this year, 
that yeah, there may just be a 

12
00:00:37,608 --> 00:00:41,000
few of us and I apologize that I
didn't get all my stuff in on 

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,600
time, but I know that we're 
going to springboard here and 

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,700
then we'll review will different
things and certain things that I

15
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,400
want to keep alive all year that
we'll be able to go to and we'll

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,900
probably start the same way 
possibly next month, but we want

17
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:56,400
to give you praise in advance 
for the outcome and some things 

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,300
that we're going to see from the
word tonight and hopefully get 

19
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:01,700
an understanding. 
A where we are and really how 

20
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:03,900
you see us. 
So we'll give you the thanks for

21
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:06,400
it in, Jesus name, amen. 
All right. 

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,700
What I want to do tonight, the 
first thing to get started said,

23
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:12,900
we'd start with you. 
I wanted you to think of two or 

24
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:16,700
three things that you got from 
Bishop. 

25
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:19,300
Dare way. 
Just some of his nuggets, a 

26
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:21,700
couple of things that that 
struck anybody. 

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,700
Okay, here's this I'll start 
with Seth because Seth probably 

28
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,100
got some but if you don't got 
nothing then you know, raise 

29
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:29,700
your hand and we'll go from 
there. 

30
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,100
How's that? 
What did you get? 

31
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:33,800
Give me some stuff. 
This will get your juices 

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,200
flowing right here. 
Yeah, I heard that. 

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:02:03,700
There you go. 
Oh yeah, that's good. 

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,199
Was moment is just like over 
time, ready to hear from you. 

35
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,300
But I got to do all this. 
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 

36
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:13,400
yeah, yeah, yeah. 
And and that's, that's a 

37
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,000
Temptation in being in business,
because your mind and I thought 

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,100
it was, you know, I think it's 
interesting that when we get so 

39
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:24,700
busy in our mind that we can't 
shut down and that's, you know, 

40
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,700
what, kind of wired we got the 
business, we got the different 

41
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:29,700
things, but it does take a 
discipline because I learned one

42
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:34,000
thing from Rick Renner and and 
he said this, he says no word, 

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,600
no food. 
And in the morning. 

44
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:41,800
So I, you know, I mean, I can, I
can say without hesitation that 

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,700
I do not do anything. 
Before I get into the word in 

46
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:47,900
the morning and spend time with 
him, I have a devotion book, 

47
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,100
which of all things. 
It's the sparkling gems from the

48
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:54,100
Greek. 
We rotate that every other year,

49
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:56,600
okay, book 11 yearbook to the 
other. 

50
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:59,800
We have never missed a day in 
the last 45 years. 

51
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:03,100
Okay, not one day. 
I mean, because even if we're 

52
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,800
apart Mellie and I, we do it 
together. 

53
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,000
Even if even if we're apart we 
get it done before we get 

54
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,300
started on the day and and again
you know, the things that that 

55
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:17,200
that we hold true. 
And we protein we talk about it,

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,100
we say we want to hear from the 
Lord today because you we don't 

57
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:22,200
know what's coming. 
I mean what do you think? 

58
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,800
Jesus was praying about? 
I mean, he wasn't asking for 

59
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,000
rent money. 
Okay. 

60
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,900
I mean he was he wanted to hear 
what the father had to say so 

61
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,500
that when he was, you know, 
approached by the Pharisees or 

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,000
or you know approached by 
Somebody that needed healing and

63
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400
and all those different things 
that he was ready to go. 

64
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:41,800
All right and then he spent the 
evenings. 

65
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,100
We see that also in scripture. 
He spent the evening so that's 

66
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,800
good, that's good. 
Anything else that you can think

67
00:03:46,800 --> 00:04:02,300
of just okay let them anything. 
I'm glad you're saying that 

68
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,400
that's good. 
Keep going. 

69
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:22,700
Yeah, 
yeah, yeah. 

70
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:30,600
Operate in that very heavily and
how we've just I mean that's 

71
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,700
kingship online and yeah, yeah 
you're correct. 

72
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:52,500
Okay. 
Yep. 

73
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,100
All right right? 
Yeah, yeah. 

74
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,800
And I'm going to, I'm going to 
tell a short testimony of that 

75
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,800
whole weekend about honor but 
one of the things I want to 

76
00:05:02,808 --> 00:05:04,800
encourage you to do. 
Okay mr. 

77
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,700
Graduate of Ki. 
You had a class on honor but you

78
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:10,500
have a different lens possibly 
now. 

79
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,100
So I encourage you get your 
notebook out and get the book 

80
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:17,500
out because the things in there 
from John bevere. 

81
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:21,400
You know, if If it doesn't, if 
it, and here's the thing about 

82
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,100
school, okay? 
That you are so packed full of 

83
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,100
information. 
Okay. 

84
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,300
Knowledge, about different 
things. 

85
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,000
All right, that, that you're 
sometimes, you don't need it 

86
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,800
right now. 
You feel like, okay. 

87
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,200
But then all of a sudden, 
somebody says something. 

88
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,200
And it might be, it might be 
good for you to go back over. 

89
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:45,700
What you did in school and your 
essays and the different things 

90
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:47,500
like that. 
And take a look and see what you

91
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:50,500
missed because you could Shut it
down, great and not even 

92
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:52,700
understood it because Pastor 
alludes to this, when I taught 

93
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:55,100
on the kingdom. 
You know, I started I when the 

94
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:57,600
Lord told me in 07 he said, 
you're not Kingdom Minded enough

95
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,300
and I started studying and 
showing myself diligent and you 

96
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:02,700
know, printed up a bunch of 
stuff. 

97
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:06,300
My pastor asked me to teach two 
lessons on it and still had no 

98
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:10,900
clue until I got here. 
And the key word for me, what I 

99
00:06:10,908 --> 00:06:13,600
missed was the word government 
never even thought of it. 

100
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,900
Never even come in my mind, you 
know, about that. 

101
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:17,400
But I'll tell a story here in a 
minute. 

102
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:20,000
Cassie give me something. 
What was The takeaway. 

103
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:47,400
Yeah, that's good. 
Yeah, that's good. 

104
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Yeah, yeah, it has to you're 
right. 

105
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,000
You're right. 
That's good. 

106
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,400
That's good. 
All right. 

107
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,100
You had a second. 
Look at your notes. 

108
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:56,300
I know what she's doing. 
I know it's y'all are doing over

109
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:56,900
here. 
I know. 

110
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:58,500
It's you doing? 
Yeah. 

111
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:00,200
All right. 
What do you give me something? 

112
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:02,500
That gold digger thing. 
Was this hilarious. 

113
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,600
Yeah. 
Yeah, sure. 

114
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:30,200
It is yeah. 
Oh yeah. 

115
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Yeah. 
Yeah, I'm using it before. 

116
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,600
I heard that from somebody else.
That was pretty funny when he 

117
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,800
told me that he said they can't 
eat you. 

118
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,500
I guess that would be the 
worst-case scenario, wouldn't, 

119
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:56,600
you know, from there what you 
get Bill Oh man. 

120
00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:00,000
Was that good or what? 
That was so good. 

121
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:07,400
That was so good. 
Yeah, that's good. 

122
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:10,000
That's good. 
I mean, if he didn't move you 

123
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
and I've heard you say that. 
If, if you're offering doesn't 

124
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,100
move you, then it's not going to
move God. 

125
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,100
You know. 
So that's why, you know, people 

126
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:17,700
are more into tipping God than 
they are. 

127
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:21,200
Given to God, is that good. 
I mean, you know, I just made 

128
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,700
that up. 
No, I did not heard it before, 

129
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,100
all right, that's what we get 
into is there. 

130
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:29,300
And even last year I was talking
about, you know, and I was using

131
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,000
Ernie. 
I said, Ernie you remember, you 

132
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,200
know, as far as if you and I 
went into business and let's say

133
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,299
we're 50/50, right? 
We're 50/50. 

134
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,100
All right. 
But yet I control the money and 

135
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,400
I made sure I got mine, but it 
didn't make sure you got yours. 

136
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:44,900
And, and if we're out of money, 
then, you know, is that fair? 

137
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:48,700
And he said, well, no, and I 
said well that some Prime Times 

138
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:52,500
how God might feel, you know, 
that we haven't we haven't 

139
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:54,800
decided on what's he, what's his
cut? 

140
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,500
You You know, from there. 
Well, here's here's a funny 

141
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:00,900
story, back scenes behind that 
and deals with honor, because I 

142
00:09:00,908 --> 00:09:04,800
got the same Revelation, and, 
and I had Melanie and I'd put 

143
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,100
our faith out there for what we 
wanted to give the bishop when 

144
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:13,100
he was here and and, but the 
Lord spoke to me about honoring 

145
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,800
Pastor before. 
Okay, so here's what happened. 

146
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,900
Is that Pastor made an 
announcement? 

147
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:21,900
The and I don't know if you 
caught the announcement. 

148
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,300
The reason that I caught it was 
I knew he was aiming at me. 

149
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:28,500
Because I asked him prior to 
Bishop getting here. 

150
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:32,100
I said, hey, is there any way 
that, you know, he's gonna be 

151
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:35,000
here like three days and he's 
going to eat a lot of meals. 

152
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,900
I'm sure. 
Can I take him out to lunch? 

153
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:38,900
I'd like to ask him some 
questions he goes. 

154
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:40,900
I don't I don't know if that's 
going to be able to happen or 

155
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:41,600
not. 
Okay. 

156
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:44,000
So from the pulpit, Pastor gets 
up and what does he say? 

157
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,600
He says he said. 
Now some of you all I wanted to 

158
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,900
know if they could get a loan 
with the bishop. 

159
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:52,700
And, and I'm looking around. 
I said I had no idea that 

160
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:54,900
everybody wanted to get with the
bishop. 

161
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:01,100
You know, so so it was it was 
Monday and I'm down there and 

162
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:07,400
printing some shirts and and I 
told I said Lord I just want to 

163
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,400
I just want to just a couple of 
minutes with him. 

164
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,300
I got to ask him some questions 
about something because I've 

165
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:14,600
never heard you know? 
And you guys all went through 

166
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,400
school with me those of you that
did. 

167
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,500
All right all went through 
school with me and heard me 

168
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,100
teach on Prosperity but I've 
never heard anybody, teach it 

169
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:23,600
the way, I teach it. 
Breaking the words down. 

170
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:26,900
Alright it because Do you go 
back to the Old Testament? 

171
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:29,100
The first time it's mentioned, 
we're going to go over at 

172
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:32,200
tonight's part of the lesson. 
But anyway, I just wanted to 

173
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,000
bounce some things off of him, 
but he said something up here 

174
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:38,700
that, you know, I wanted the 
rest of the story. 

175
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,400
So I'm down there Printing and I
visioned in my mind because I 

176
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
said, I said Lord I just want a 
minute or two with him. 

177
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:48,100
Okay, that's all I want. 
And and I and I Vision in my 

178
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:51,700
mind I'm Printing and my print 
station faces the window because

179
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:53,800
I'm down in the I'm in the mall 
now. 

180
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:55,800
Okay? 
And so I'm Setting their 

181
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,300
Printing and and I've envisioned
him and Pastor walking looking 

182
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,700
through them all and thinking 
that's my opportunity, right? 

183
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,200
Well, he never showed up. 
Okay, so I get done, I get 

184
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,000
everything cleaned and I walk 
out the door, turn around, lock 

185
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,700
the door and I walk to the 
center and guess who is sitting 

186
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:17,400
there. 
Bishop garraway and Pastor 

187
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,100
Marcy, and I don't know what 
pastorals doing he's standing 

188
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,900
there talking, but he looking 
like he's looking at something 

189
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:25,500
or something like that and 
there's a chair right next to 

190
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:28,700
Bishop open. 
And I just went over there and 

191
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,300
sit down and said, how y'all 
doing? 

192
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:38,400
And I said you ever ask the Lord
for something and and lo and 

193
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,500
behold, he gives it to you. 
I said pastor can I ask him a 

194
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,900
couple questions? 
What's he gonna do, right. 

195
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,500
Got my get it whooping later but
it's okay. 

196
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:50,000
I might be worth it, you know. 
Yeah. 

197
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,900
And so anyway, so I start 
talking to him, you know about 

198
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:54,100
that. 
But what I wanted to know, he 

199
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:59,500
told a story listen to this. 
He told the story about, you 

200
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:03,200
know, the men of God not being 
taken care of, okay. 

201
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:07,300
And he was talking about hit one
of his churches that he was not 

202
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:11,800
being taken care of and you 
know, and it was a mess and even

203
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,300
he alluded to the fact I think 
and I didn't get into that. 

204
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:20,200
But that he had lost his first 
wife through divorce and made 

205
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400
the comment. 
She didn't sign up for this 

206
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:25,600
being broke, not having the 
money, the different things like

207
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,200
that. 
And so he came up with an idea 

208
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,300
and he said, listen by the, by 
the scripture, I'm eligible for 

209
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:37,800
the tithe, so we're making some 
changes, I'm going to get the 

210
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:44,200
tithe and the church is going to
be able to run on the offerings 

211
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,800
and the givings that People do 
aside from the tide but I'm 

212
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,600
going to take the tithe, all 
right? 

213
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,100
And so he and he just he just 
talked about it a little bit. 

214
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:58,300
Well, I wanted a little more 
detail because he said that 

215
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:02,000
there were a couple of guys that
not only make, you know, make 

216
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,100
sure he got the tithe, all 
right. 

217
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:07,900
But there were two guys that 
took care of him by honoring him

218
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,700
and given him offerings given 
giving of what they had for him 

219
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:14,800
to make sure he was taken care 
of. 

220
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,400
And he said, Add those two guys.
Their business has exploded. 

221
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,400
And so he, you know, he began to
tell, I got all the detail that 

222
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,900
I just gave you because it 
wasn't that clear when he was 

223
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:31,600
giving it to us. 
So when I was sitting there, you

224
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,700
know, talking to him and I was 
able to get, you know, I said 

225
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,300
this is how I teach it. 
I've never heard anybody teach 

226
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,900
it, but letting you know, let me
go down and I gave him all the 

227
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:43,700
words and the different things 
and he's the only Minister that 

228
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:46,100
I ever talked to about it. 
That told me where the first 

229
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:49,400
place the word Prosperity was 
mentioned. 

230
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,100
Here's Genesis. 
For, and if you remember, it was

231
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:57,200
the story of Ellie's or going to
get a wife for Isaac and it was 

232
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,500
a journey or a mission that he 
was on. 

233
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,200
All right? 
That was, was what he was 

234
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,400
wanting to be prosperous, in 
based upon means, you know, to 

235
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,000
push forward, to be profitable, 
and, to succeed in your purpose.

236
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,100
Okay. 
So he had a purpose and so he 

237
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:17,900
goes, he goes revered. 
You've given me some things to 

238
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:21,700
study out and I said, well, I 
just said, you know, No, I said 

239
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,300
the, the prosperity message, you
know, everybody, you know, 

240
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,200
equates Prosperity with money, 
but I've never taught it that 

241
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,000
way because I was, you know, 
disgruntled in the fact that, 

242
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,700
you know, okay. 
If we're all supposed to be 

243
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:36,800
prosperous and how come we ain't
got, you know, 45 thousand 

244
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,100
dollars for carpet. 
Okay. 

245
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,100
All right. 
So you know so what was so funny

246
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:45,800
is that you know how to, I mean 
thank you so much. 

247
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,100
I couldn't thank him enough for 
giving me, you know, a few 

248
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:51,000
minutes and and talking in him. 
And I were talking about the 

249
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,100
tithe when we were sitting there
and and he goes, you know, he 

250
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:59,100
said the 10% that it at it. 
And I said well, I said that was

251
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:02,600
just one tithe. 
I said there's to tithe right? 

252
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,700
And it goes, well done reverent.
He said most people don't know 

253
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:08,800
about the second tithe. 
I said that's because they're 

254
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,800
discouraged. 
About the first one, all right. 

255
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,800
But the stir the second tide was
every three years and it was 

256
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,700
given from them in addition to 
the one that they gave to take 

257
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:24,500
care of the little tribe but the
second tithe every three years 

258
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:26,700
and you think about it, then you
had the Sabbath where 

259
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:31,500
everybody's off, so every three 
years, they had the second tithe

260
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:35,200
and it was for the Widow, the 
orphan, and the stranger among 

261
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,100
them is same as our welfare 
system. 

262
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:39,200
It was just to take care of 
those. 

263
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,600
So, you know, and we both 
started laughing and said, well 

264
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,300
don't tell him about that one. 
I said, you know, we can't even 

265
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:46,700
give them to get the first one, 
right? 

266
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:48,300
And so, don't put another one on
them. 

267
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,500
And so he's telling, you know, 
we had a great visit. 

268
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:55,700
Well, then Sunday, I not Sunday 
morning, but I guess it was 

269
00:15:55,700 --> 00:16:01,200
Tuesday before service pastors 
looking for me and he said, and 

270
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,700
he said, come in here and sit 
down and talk to him. 

271
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:06,700
He said, I got some stuff, I got
a new, would you take care of 

272
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:09,800
him and I I mean, we went off on
another, you know, a couple of 

273
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,400
subjects but I was blessed in 
that you know, honor was a big 

274
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,100
thing and I made some changes in
my psyche about, you know, 

275
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,600
honoring because sometimes we 
just get again. 

276
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:24,400
Not only do we get all caught up
in our daily routine and what we

277
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,700
got, we go to work and the kids 
and the schools and and all 

278
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:29,700
that. 
So we have that. 

279
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,600
All right. 
But then when we come to church,

280
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,400
guess what some of us have same 
thing, we got sound. 

281
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,400
Okay, we got Usher's, we got you
know, Sam Again, we got the 

282
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,500
kids, you know, and we get 
caught up in that and we forget,

283
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,000
you know, one. 
Yes we are. 

284
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
We are serving. 
But, you know, we don't really 

285
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
think about honor during those 
times. 

286
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:51,600
Okay? 
You know, we're taking care of 

287
00:16:51,608 --> 00:16:54,600
the kids, we're doing those 
things but I just, you know, 

288
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,100
Melanie. 
And I we made up our mind that, 

289
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:58,000
you know, we're going to be a 
little more sensitive to 

290
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,600
honoring Pastor, okay? 
And one of the things that she 

291
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,900
got as a takeaway from him, he 
said did you know that that 

292
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:08,700
Bishop said that if you read a 
proverb, D-Day, did you hear him

293
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,200
say that you read a proverb 
every day? 

294
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,400
It'll make you rich and he said 
every day and he's done that for

295
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:20,300
how many years it was like 100 
years that he had read it every 

296
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:22,900
day one proverb. 
And and why is that? 

297
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:28,800
Because it is yeah it'll change.
It'll change the way you think, 

298
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:31,200
all right? 
And that's what, that's what the

299
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,400
word is all about is to changing
the way we think, all right? 

300
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,500
And I, you know, I thought that 
You know, when he had mentioned 

301
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:44,000
that in the fact that we were 
looking, you know, at what else 

302
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,800
can we add, if anything, you 
know, to that. 

303
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,600
So we're reading, you know, a 
Proverbs a day and, you know, we

304
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,200
started immediately. 
I mean you know, when we heard 

305
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,000
him say it, that's a thing. 
Sometimes if you don't act 

306
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,300
immediately, you'll forget the 
Bible tells us that. 

307
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:01,500
All right, that's it. 
Be doers of the word, not 

308
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:03,800
hearers only in James 1. 
All right. 

309
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Remember that verse 21. 
He said be and he says, and he 

310
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,900
says in there, he tells us that,
you know, don't be like the here

311
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:13,600
only that he looks into the 
word. 

312
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,300
And then, you know, he shuts and
forgets. 

313
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:17,200
What manner of man? 
He was why because the devil's 

314
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,700
there to steal, what he has sown
in your heart. 

315
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:21,700
All right. 
So those are those some things I

316
00:18:21,708 --> 00:18:23,400
want to. 
I may do it again next month. 

317
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,700
Just to see if the, you know, 
hopefully we'll have all the 

318
00:18:25,700 --> 00:18:29,700
advertising, right? 
And I'll go and, and I'll make 

319
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:31,900
sure, you know, prior to getting
there that we have it. 

320
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:33,800
But I just got to know. 
These said, we're going to have 

321
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,000
a slide that has all the dates 
on it. 

322
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:39,200
I said, like the basketball And 
if you seen a basketball one, I 

323
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,000
got a marked out and whole bit, 
that would be great, you know? 

324
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,300
And then I will have those cards
for everybody's Bible, you know,

325
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:46,600
that will have the dates on 
there. 

326
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,700
We are. 
But tonight, what I want to do 

327
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:53,900
in, you know the the course of 
understanding I want to talk 

328
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,000
about we're going to talk about 
in the next couple months. 

329
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,500
We're going to talk about Joseph
and and some things that we 

330
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:05,200
really need to take a look at 
with with Joseph's life and some

331
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,100
things that you know, I've been 
I've been digging on Listening 

332
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:10,800
to and so jot down these 
scriptures, I'm going to give 

333
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,500
you 45 scriptures and we're 
going to look at them, but in 

334
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,800
the 39th chapter of Genesis, we 
have the account after his 

335
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,200
brothers, you know, to see their
father and that he was dead and 

336
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,800
that it, that was his coat and 
the whole bit and they sold him 

337
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,400
to the ishmaelites and he wound 
up in Egypt. 

338
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:32,300
And, and in, in chapter 39 verse
1, it says Joseph, was brought 

339
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:36,900
down to Egypt and, and potiphar 
and officer Pharaoh captain of 

340
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:38,800
the Guard. 
And Egyptian. 

341
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,300
Bought him of the hands of the 
ishmaelites which had brought 

342
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:43,100
him down from there. 
All right. 

343
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:45,500
I thought it was interesting. 
I looked up, I looked up captain

344
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:47,900
of the guard and guess what? 
It said. 

345
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,100
Head chef. 
And that crazy. 

346
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:56,700
Yeah, I said head chef and 
basically they use the chefs in 

347
00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:00,800
their days those days because 
they were proficient with knives

348
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,600
and they used them as 
Executioner's. 

349
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,700
Yeah. 
And it made sense to me, because

350
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:10,300
when you, when he wound up in 
prison, you know, they said that

351
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:13,000
they were in the, the captain of
the garden they were in his 

352
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,900
prison and, and who was in their
kitchen staff. 

353
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:20,400
The Butler and the baker. 
Remember. 

354
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:23,400
So I thought that was an 
interesting point, you know, at 

355
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,800
that was brought out but look at
this. 

356
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,000
Here's what I want to look at it
said the Lord was with Joseph 

357
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,100
and he was a prosperous man and 
he was in the house of his 

358
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:35,500
master. 
The Egyptian and his master saw 

359
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:38,400
that the Lord was with him at 
the Lord made, all that. 

360
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,000
He did to prosper in his hand 
and Joseph found great. 

361
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,700
He sent his side and he served 
him, and he made him overseer of

362
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:49,600
his house and all that, he Put 
into his hand, he said, and it 

363
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,400
came to pass from the time that 
he had made him Overseer in his 

364
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,800
house over all that, he had the 
Lord blessed the Egyptians house

365
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,300
for Joseph's sake, and the 
blessing of the Lord was upon 

366
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:06,700
all that he had in the house and
in the field. 

367
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,700
All right, this word is the word
of one. 

368
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:13,200
And we talk about Prosperity. 
We can talk about all the 

369
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,400
different things, you know. 
And this is a proof that 

370
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,300
Prosperity is not about 
accumulation. 

371
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,100
The things because he didn't 
have any, all right, had the 

372
00:21:22,108 --> 00:21:25,600
clothes on his back and I was it
and he's missing a coat when he 

373
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,300
came, right? 
And he gets down there and it 

374
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:31,400
said, he saw that the Lord was 
with him and that the Lord made 

375
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,400
all that. 
He did to prosper in his hand, 

376
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,900
he will. 
He found a Grace and in his 

377
00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:41,000
sight and he served him and he 
became the overseer, but it goes

378
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,800
in. 
It goes in. 

379
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,400
Verse 5 is what I want to take a
note. 

380
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,300
He said, and the blessing of the
Lord was upon all that he had in

381
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:52,200
his The house and in the field, 
the blessing of the Lord, the 

382
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,500
word blessing in the Hebrew. 
Okay? 

383
00:21:55,900 --> 00:22:01,700
Is the word bracha? 
BR a.k.a. aah. 

384
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:11,200
Basically, it is another word 
for Prosperity or the abundance.

385
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,500
And one of the definition was 
the praise of God. 

386
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,000
In other words, not praise to 
God. 

387
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,800
But praise of God. 
So there's some Praises that God

388
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:26,400
has that he puts upon you and 
gives you for obedience. 

389
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,300
It's almost like he's thinking 
you or praising you for the good

390
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:35,800
job, you're doing, okay, but 
notice what he said, He said the

391
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,200
blessing of the Lord was upon 
him and upon all that, he had in

392
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,600
the house and in the field, the 
blessing of the Lord, let's take

393
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,400
a look at the first time that we
see the blessing of the Lord. 

394
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,700
Let's go back to the twelfth 
chapter of Genesis Genesis 

395
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:54,100
chapter 12. 
We see this same phrase and the 

396
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:57,200
same definition. 
All right? 

397
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:06,300
That when God makes a covenant 
with Abram, Okay, now, notice 

398
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:11,300
this 12:1, he said, and the Lord
said unto Abram, get you out of 

399
00:23:11,308 --> 00:23:13,600
this country and from your 
Kindred, and from your father's 

400
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,700
house unto a land that I will 
show you. 

401
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:19,500
Now, notice what he said, I will
make of thee, a great nation. 

402
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:24,000
I will bless you and make your 
name great, and you shall be a 

403
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,700
blessing and he tells him. 
He said, I'll bless bless them 

404
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:30,800
that bless you. 
Curse them that curse you and in

405
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,600
all the families of the The 
Earth in, you will be blessed. 

406
00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:39,000
All right, so when you see that 
in there, he said I will make 

407
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,900
you. 
You shall be a blessing. 

408
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,600
Now, the question that we have 
to ask ourselves in our 

409
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,400
businesses, Is our way of 
blessing. 

410
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:57,500
I mean are we are we focused 
totally on a transaction? 

411
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,800
That obviously can bring us 
money or we focused on being a 

412
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,600
blessing to whoever it is that 
we're trying to work with 

413
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,700
whether it's a quote that were 
given. 

414
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,900
All right. 
Somebody needs a burglar, they 

415
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:14,500
need an outdoor space or 
whatever. 

416
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:19,300
How can we be a blessing to them
and in the format that we're 

417
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:22,300
going to see here in a minute in
the format of what? 

418
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:27,200
God promised, Abraham, he said 
you will be not only am I going 

419
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,700
to bless you and you want that 
because cuz they all come from 

420
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:35,300
the same root and the root of 
that is the the word where to 

421
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:37,700
put it down here. 
Barack. 

422
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,500
Alright is a brachii is the word
blessing. 

423
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:43,600
The word blessed is the word. 
Barack they come from the same 

424
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,400
root and he's saying in there. 
He said, okay, I'm going to, I'm

425
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,400
going to bless you, I'm going to
make you a great nation. 

426
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:52,900
And he said, and then all 
families are going to be 

427
00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:54,100
blessed. 
I'm going to make you a 

428
00:24:54,108 --> 00:24:56,800
blessing. 
He has made each of us a 

429
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,800
blessing in the world, in which 
Layer in a probe, in the 

430
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,100
businesses that we have he has 
made us to be a blessing. 

431
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:06,700
Now notice remember what he 
said. 

432
00:25:06,700 --> 00:25:09,800
He said Not only, did they get 
blessed in the house but they 

433
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,000
got blessed in the field. 
Well, what does it field need 

434
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,100
with the blessing? 
Okay, and it's both. 

435
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:24,400
It's your house and your field, 
which I believe would be your 

436
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:30,000
occupation, your business. 
Both of those can have the 

437
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,100
blessing of God and we want both
of those to have the blessing of

438
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:35,700
God on them. 
Okay, that everything that we 

439
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:39,500
touch and notice, I mean, when 
you go back to the account with 

440
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:44,500
Joseph, In there. 
He tells us that you know, it 

441
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:48,100
was the Lord that made him to 
prosper, okay. 

442
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:53,000
And I love the fact that it said
the potiphar who had many gods 

443
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,600
to worship. 
Okay, noticed that the hand of 

444
00:25:57,608 --> 00:26:03,300
the Lord was on Joseph and 
became convinced because of Y 

445
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:07,500
because everything that he 
touched it was blessed because 

446
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:14,800
why Joseph came from the Abraham
line of the blessing. so, 

447
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:21,600
regardless of where Joseph found
himself, he only had one option 

448
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,900
and that's to be a blessing 
wherever he was. 

449
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,000
He had the blessing of the Lord,
he rose to the top of the house,

450
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:32,600
all right? 
As far as in in oversight, but 

451
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,200
then gets accused falsely. 
Goes to prison and Rises to 

452
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,700
management in the prison. 
Why? 

453
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:42,900
Because the blessing of the Lord
was on him. 

454
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:46,000
Now look at this jot down, 
Proverbs chapter 10. 

455
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:58,100
Same Hebrew word, the blessing 
of the Lord, maketh rich and 

456
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:04,700
adds no sorrow with it. okay, 
the word sorrow translated in 

457
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:08,000
probably other language, other 
Bible type Bibles is probably 

458
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:15,300
wearisome toil I didn't look it 
up, but I'd be willing. 

459
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:21,700
To bet that it is the same 
Hebrew word. 

460
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,900
When God told Adam, cursed is 
the ground for your sake and in 

461
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:29,400
sorrow. 
You will you will try to grow 

462
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,600
something in it. 
I believe that's the Hebrew 

463
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,700
word. 
It's a bone. 

464
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:37,600
That's interesting word. 
All right, but it means toil and

465
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,600
sweat, and it carries the idea 
of worrisome -. 

466
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,800
So, it says the blessing of the 
Lord maketh rich and Adds no 

467
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,900
sorrow with it. 
In other words, once you get in 

468
00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:53,300
the blessing of the Lord, you're
worried should stop. 

469
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:59,700
What's there to worry about 
Jesus, even told us that in the 

470
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:03,500
6th chapter of Matthew. 
Didn't he said he said why do 

471
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:06,700
you take a thought for what 
you're going to eat drink and 

472
00:28:06,700 --> 00:28:10,500
wear and he said consider the 
the birds of the air, consider 

473
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:13,900
the lilies of the field he said 
all these things the Gentiles 

474
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:16,400
run after, why? 
Because they don't have the 

475
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,900
blessing Hey, anytime Jesus are.
Any of the, any of the writers 

476
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:23,900
would give you the Gentile. 
What they were saying is non 

477
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:26,900
Covenant. 
If you're a gentile, your non 

478
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:29,200
Covenant, all right? 
And I heard somebody say that 

479
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,600
here while back they were 
talking about that, you know, 

480
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,100
oh, somebody was contacting me 
and and you know, they were 

481
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:39,200
making excuses for different 
things and said well, you know, 

482
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,800
according to the Bible, I'm a 
gentile. 

483
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,700
Okay. 
According to the Bible you are a

484
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:47,900
born again, child of God. 
All right. 

485
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:50,600
Now in Gentile there was a Jew 
or Gentile. 

486
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,600
I mean it was pretty lady. 
One was a covenant and the other

487
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,600
one wasn't but we're in Covenant
so don't be going back to the 

488
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,000
comparison of Gentile. 
You're not a gentile. 

489
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,100
All right. 
You are a covenant son. 

490
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,000
Alright now, let's talk for a 
minute. 

491
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,000
When we take a look at that, 
this is. 

492
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,600
And this is another very, very 
familiar scripture to is 

493
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,500
Galatians chapter 3, all right, 
13 and 14. 

494
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,100
Anybody know what it is, 
offhand. 

495
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:26,300
All right, you will hear in a 
second you'll remember, okay? 

496
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:31,600
Christ has redeemed us from the 
curse of the law being made a 

497
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,300
curse for us for it is written. 
Cursed, is everyone that hangs 

498
00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:40,400
on a tree that The Blessing of 
Abraham might come on the 

499
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Gentiles through Jesus Christ 
that we might receive the 

500
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,400
promise of the spirit through 
faith. 

501
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,200
The real Blessing of Abraham was
the ability that he had to talk 

502
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,100
to God. 
That was the real blessing but 

503
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:56,400
he gives us He gives us the 
example that we all refer to and

504
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,200
we're going to look at it all 14
verses here in a minute but in 

505
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,900
there he said The Blessing of 
Abraham, he didn't get the 

506
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:07,000
promise we got. 
See prior to Jesus coming and 

507
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,500
then sending the Holy Spirit and
telling us the holy spirit is 

508
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:13,200
going to be with you, but here's
the deal, he's not going to be 

509
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,400
with you. 
He's going to be in you. 

510
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:18,200
That's going to be the 
difference than anybody else. 

511
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,900
In the kingdom of God is ever 
had. 

512
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:23,000
As a, you have the ability to 
have his pastor says, As the 

513
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,300
third hit third party, the 
godhead inside of you, if we 

514
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:31,900
only get the revelation of what 
that means because the Abram was

515
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:34,100
blessed and he was made a 
blessing. 

516
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,300
All right? 
Just because he had a 

517
00:30:36,308 --> 00:30:39,400
relationship and believe. 
It said, he believed God and it 

518
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,600
was counted to him as right 
standing. 

519
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,300
He didn't have. 
He did there's no place in 

520
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:45,800
there. 
That it says, that the spirit 

521
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,700
Came Upon him as a priest, a 
king or a prophet didn't didn't 

522
00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:51,600
didn't didn't have that. 
All right. 

523
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,900
But the thing is, is that He did
have, he did have on the inside 

524
00:30:55,900 --> 00:31:00,300
understanding that, you know as 
that verse had talked about in 

525
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:03,100
chapter 3, he said that the 
blessing of Abraham might come 

526
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:08,600
on the Gentiles through through 
that blessing. 

527
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:13,100
And so when when we take a look 
at the blessing, what is the 

528
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:16,000
blessing? 
And and simply put you go over. 

529
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,900
I want you to jot down and let's
look at it because outlined in 

530
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:25,300
Deuteronomy chapter 28. 
All right, he says a few things 

531
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:30,500
here. 
That we need to remember. 

532
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,800
He said, and it shall come to 
pass verse 1. 

533
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,400
If you will hearken diligently 
to the voice of the Lord, your 

534
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,900
God observed to do all the 
Commandments, which I command 

535
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,600
thee. 
This day that the Lord thy God 

536
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,200
will set the high above all the 
nations of the earth. 

537
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,300
And these blessings shall come 
on you and overtake you. 

538
00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:51,800
If you will hearken to the voice
of the Lord, your God, and then 

539
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,100
he starts in same. 
Same Hebrew word. 

540
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,000
Okay, in here. 
And I think it's interesting 

541
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,100
because when you talk about 
Prosperity, all right. 

542
00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:04,800
When he says all these We'll 
come on you and overtake you. 

543
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,900
That must mean you're headed 
somewhere. 

544
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,100
He didn't say that the blessings
you had to go chase them down. 

545
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:14,500
He said the blessings will come 
on you and overtake you. 

546
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,000
So the thing is, you need to be 
going somewhere. 

547
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:20,400
You need to be headed our 
Direction, and that's what your 

548
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,700
purpose is about. 
But notice, as he said, it'll 

549
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:25,100
come to pass, if you will 
hearken diligently to the voice 

550
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:28,200
of the Lord, your God to observe
to do all the Commandments, he 

551
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,200
said Harkin, I love it. 
Harkin is also translated in the

552
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,100
King James Bible as the word 
obey. 

553
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,700
It's not separated his like you 
here and then obey basically the

554
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:41,800
same Hebrew word means you 
harken you here, but then it's 

555
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,000
automatically obeyed. 
Automatically. 

556
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:48,400
And so he's telling them. 
This is what I need you to do. 

557
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:53,200
When it comes to Desiring to see
the blessing you have got to be 

558
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,200
obedient to hear what it is. 
So it goes back to it goes back 

559
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,600
to the fact we were talking 
earlier, right, about spending 

560
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,200
time with him to hear him and 
and disciplining ourselves in 

561
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,700
such a way that we can do it 
without distraction because 

562
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:12,900
that's that's all the devil 
wants to do is, you know, you 

563
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:15,100
get on your journey at once. 
To take a tire tool and throw it

564
00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:19,200
right in your way trip you some 
kind of Roadblock, whatever. 

565
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,700
And the thing is, is that it 
will, if we discipline ourselves

566
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:25,800
to be able in in the morning, 
you know, some people say, well,

567
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,500
I'm not a morning person and, 
you know, and to get up spend 

568
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:31,700
time with God, you know, I do 
better at night. 

569
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:37,600
You lost the day, you lost your 
day, all right, you got to start

570
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,900
with him. 
I mean, I think it was going 

571
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:42,600
around, 80 some on times in the 
Bible, it talks about seeking 

572
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,300
the Lord early. 
In today, and it makes sense to 

573
00:33:46,300 --> 00:33:47,900
me. 
I mean, you want to spend time 

574
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:50,800
with the Lord in the morning 
because you got Junk coming, 

575
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,400
right? 
Okay. 

576
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,200
All right. 
Did you ever say that? 

577
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,100
Don't say that sit. 
All right. 

578
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,000
Okay. 
Now notice this, let's look what

579
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,200
it says. 
All these blessings will come on

580
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,800
you and overtake. 
You, if you harken now, he said,

581
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,400
blessed, shall you be in the 
city, blessed? 

582
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,000
Shall you be in the field? 
Alright, the word again, 

583
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,699
prosperous the Lord's proud of 
you, he is talking to you. 

584
00:34:10,699 --> 00:34:14,600
He loves to see you. 
You know, living in In that kind

585
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,000
of blessing. 
All right, he goes bless, you'll

586
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,300
be in the city. 
The field. 

587
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:20,600
He said blessed shall be the 
fruit of your body, the fruit of

588
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,699
your ground, the fruit of your 
cattle, the increase of your 

589
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:25,800
KINE, the flocks of your sheep. 
I got no sheep right now. 

590
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:28,900
But I like the fact where he 
said, you'll be blessed in the 

591
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,699
fruit of your body is talking 
about your children. 

592
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:35,100
All right, they'll be blessed, 
you know, here while back. 

593
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:41,300
I had somebody that Josh and and
Caleb were both ministering 

594
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:44,000
together. 
In Valdosta. 

595
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,100
And and somebody said man, 
you're the luckiest guy alive to

596
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:51,199
have two sons like that and I 
said luck had nothing to do with

597
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,900
it. 
Okay, I'm blessed because the 

598
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:57,900
word said so he said he'd 
blessed the fruit of my body. 

599
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:02,200
All right, so he goes in there 
and he says blessed shall be 

600
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,500
your basket in your store. 
All right. 

601
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:06,800
Your basket in your store, your 
basket in your store. 

602
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:10,300
I just taught Sunday night 
talking about the first-fruit 

603
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:11,500
offering. 
All right. 

604
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:12,700
What was the first fruit 
offering? 

605
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:16,900
The first fruit offering was 
that you took a Sheaf, all 

606
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:18,400
right? 
And the Bible tells us that took

607
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,800
a sheath cut it, put it in a 
basket. 

608
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:25,200
Take it to the East that is in 
those days and you said it 

609
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,400
before him and you tell him here
is the fruit of the first fruits

610
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,200
of my my grounds. 
And then he said that he takes 

611
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,800
it and puts it and brings it 
before the altar of the Lord. 

612
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,900
And then the the person that 
brought it began to rehearse 

613
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:46,500
their history. 
I was a Syrian and I got sold 

614
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:49,800
into strut slavery and you know 
and the Lord brought us out with

615
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,200
a strong arm and mighty wonders 
and signs. 

616
00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:56,700
Deeds, and he just basically 
went on a, you know, just a 

617
00:35:56,708 --> 00:35:59,500
history lesson of what had 
happened, all right? 

618
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:03,500
And he said, I have come to 
worship you with this offering 

619
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:06,100
why we've taught it before 
because we want the Lord 

620
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:10,200
blessing, the rest of them, the,
the harvest, okay? 

621
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:15,300
And so in here, he talks about, 
he said, your black, your 

622
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:18,400
basket, and your Storehouse, 
some people don't have a 

623
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,700
storehouse, whatever Bishop say 
about that. 

624
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,100
He said, you know, he said, Ed 
payer, you know, and, and comes 

625
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,400
from, and some things that I've 
heard is, you know, you give the

626
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,900
Lord, you're tied, but he said, 
keep 10%. 

627
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:32,500
If you can for yourself, put it 
away, all right? 

628
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,100
And again, we've taught this 
before, we don't put it away, 

629
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,400
you know, so that we can use it 
on whatever we're dreaming about

630
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,700
if the Lord says different. 
All right, you have a store to 

631
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:47,600
be able to remember in Luke 16, 
where the guy is said, his 

632
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,800
ground produced greatly. 
And then he said, in there, he 

633
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,700
said, I what am I gonna do with 
all this stuff? 

634
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:54,100
And he goes, oh, I know what 
I'll do. 

635
00:36:54,100 --> 00:36:56,700
I'll just build bigger barns, 
tear down the old barns, build a

636
00:36:56,700 --> 00:36:59,200
bigger barn, and he said, and 
I'll bestow all my goods. 

637
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,800
And then I'll say, eat drink and
be merry for. 

638
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,100
I have enough to live on and the
Lord says, you're a fool. 

639
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:07,000
And then what the last of it 
said it said. 

640
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,800
So is the man that is not rich 
toward God and we looked at the 

641
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,600
You know, that is really says. 
So, is the man that is not 

642
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:22,100
becoming rich for God? 
So why do you want to be? 

643
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,400
Rich is a question so you can 
afford all this stuff. 

644
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,500
I don't know anybody personally 
that, you know, all they talk to

645
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:31,400
me about is the house they want,
or the kind of car. 

646
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,400
They want to drive. 
I mean I don't have anybody 

647
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,200
hangs around me that that talks 
that way, you know. 

648
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:41,200
And so I'm thinking, all right, 
so what do we want to do? 

649
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,700
We want to be rich toward God, 
we want to be rich becoming rich

650
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:47,600
for God and God says, we can 
have it right here. 

651
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,600
And he said, okay, he said 
blessed, shall you be when When 

652
00:37:50,608 --> 00:37:54,300
you come in blessed, shall you? 
Be when you go out, all right, 

653
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:55,900
the Lord shall cause thine 
enemy. 

654
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:58,300
To rise up against you, they 
would be smitten before your 

655
00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:00,300
face. 
They will come out against you 

656
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:03,600
one way and flee before you 7 
the Lord shall command the 

657
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:10,100
blessing upon you in your store 
houses plural and in all that 

658
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:13,800
you set your hand to and he will
bless you in the land which the 

659
00:38:13,808 --> 00:38:16,800
Lord thy God has given thee and 
the Lord shall establish. 

660
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,200
You a holy people unto himself 
as he is sworn in to thee. 

661
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:24,300
If you will, but keep his 
Commandments and of the Lord thy

662
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:30,100
God and walk in his ways and all
the people of the Earth shall 

663
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,700
see. 
As the same thing pot for Saul 

664
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:37,000
he said that you will see. 
What are they going to see? 

665
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,100
All right, he said that you're 
called by the name of the Lord 

666
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:42,800
and they'll be afraid of thee. 
And the Lord shall make you 

667
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,100
plenteous in Goods in the fruit 
of your body, in the fruit of 

668
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:49,000
your cattle, in the fruit of 
your ground in the land, which 

669
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,700
the Lord swore to give swore 
unto your father's to give you. 

670
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,900
He said and he will open to you,
his good treasure he'll give 

671
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:59,600
heaven or give rain upon the 
land and season to bless all the

672
00:38:59,608 --> 00:39:02,900
work of your hand you'll lend. 
Too Many Nations, you shall not 

673
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:05,900
borrow and the Lord shall make 
you the head and not the tail 

674
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:08,300
above. 
Only a not beneath if you will 

675
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:10,800
hearken unto the Commandments of
the Lord thy God, which I 

676
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,900
command you this day to observe 
and to do them. 

677
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,000
All right. 
And then he, you know, in the 

678
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
last part, the last verse, 
there's verse 14 before he goes 

679
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:30,700
from 15, to 68 is a curses Just 
simplifying your life. 

680
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,800
You only have 14. 
All right, instead of the the 

681
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:40,400
the opposite of that but he lets
us know that all these are part 

682
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,200
of the blessing and he lets us 
know material stuff is in there,

683
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:51,500
but all he wants from us is our 
ears and our obedience and 

684
00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:55,300
quickly, you know, I, you know, 
you take a look at, you know, 

685
00:39:55,308 --> 00:39:59,300
all the things like, you know, 
we just got through teaching on 

686
00:39:59,300 --> 00:40:03,900
healing and talking about job. 
And, and those of you that have 

687
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:06,600
been been with me in class, you 
know, I've taught that for years

688
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:08,800
and getting an understanding 
about job that, you know. 

689
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,100
God asks, Satan, the question in
King James, which I don't think 

690
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:15,800
is, right? 
He said, have you considered my 

691
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,600
servant job numbers and he threw
him under the bus? 

692
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:21,000
I don't believe that's true. 
I believe he was making a 

693
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,800
statement. 
Not a question because in the 

694
00:40:23,808 --> 00:40:27,800
Hebrew you can bear it out to 
say you have been considering my

695
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,800
servant job. 
Okay, how do we know he had? 

696
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,400
Because he said he doesn't serve
you for nothing. 

697
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,100
You've got a hedge built around 
him, and he starts detailing. 

698
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:41,200
All these things that he has 
been considering about job. 

699
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,700
He said, you take away his 
stuff, he will curse you to his 

700
00:40:43,700 --> 00:40:44,900
face. 
So he knew he had a lot of 

701
00:40:44,908 --> 00:40:47,400
stuff. 
And then, the Lord said, well, 

702
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,000
behold everything that he has 
legally is under your power. 

703
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,400
Alright, so here we have the 
first book that we say is 

704
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,100
recorded the first book that we 
have recorded is letting us 

705
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:01,300
know. 
And see you go through entire 

706
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:06,100
job and not one time. 
Did job recognize that devil had

707
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:07,900
done all this. 
We don't even know if he knew 

708
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:12,900
there was a devil. 
And so you know, he has all 

709
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:17,200
these This calamity coming and 
we find out that you know, he'd 

710
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,500
been in fear and and he said you
know God God gave him a good 

711
00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:25,000
recommendation. 
He said he turns his back on 

712
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,400
evil. 
Well, you can turn your back on 

713
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,900
evil but you still can have a 
hang up. 

714
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,600
On something that may not be in 
line with what God had. 

715
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,700
He said he was sacrificing every
day for his kids because he was 

716
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:40,400
scared that they were going to 
do something stupid and curse 

717
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,600
God. 
So my question is, in all of 

718
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,900
this, you know, in all of this 
that you have done to show God 

719
00:41:47,900 --> 00:41:51,600
that you are righteous, your 
upright, you eschew evil as it 

720
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,700
says, then what happened to the 
kids. 

721
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
What did we not? 
Raise the kids, did we find 

722
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,100
Jesus late in life? 
You know, I really did. 

723
00:42:01,100 --> 00:42:04,800
Did we come to God later in life
and then prove the that the 

724
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,900
blessings of God were on him? 
And he and he you know, 

725
00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:11,400
continued on and you know, in 
our Bible reading we're you 

726
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,400
know, we're going, we're 
skipping through everything, 

727
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,900
man. 
I mean, you know, we got job on 

728
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:18,500
one day, Isaiah on another day 
and I don't know about Isaiah 

729
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:20,400
man. 
That guy. 

730
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,800
I mean, how many that would? 
How many is that like five 

731
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,400
chapters? 
Of the longest chapters of what 

732
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,000
in the world? 
Are you talking about? 

733
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:37,200
Yeah, I mean just crazy stuff 
and and so but we look at, you 

734
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,400
know, God's influence in there 
and and and understanding with 

735
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,900
even with job, that he was 
extremely blessed, all right? 

736
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,900
But it lets us know that Satan 
had dominion and could take 

737
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:55,300
things and and could and God 
couldn't, I mean, God could have

738
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:58,300
stopped We all think but not 
legally. 

739
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,500
I mean, because Adam and turned 
it over and they say that job 

740
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:08,700
was around the same time. 
Same time as Abraham, same time 

741
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,900
frame but the deal was I had a 
student one time asked me. 

742
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:14,300
He said no, I asked the 
question. 

743
00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:17,500
Why didn't God choose if job was
all that. 

744
00:43:17,900 --> 00:43:19,800
Why didn't God choose to make a 
covenant? 

745
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:24,600
All right, and it was said, God 
said about Abram, he said I know

746
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,800
him. 
That he will command his 

747
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,700
children after him. 
So he knew that he was going to 

748
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:33,500
get it a little further along 
and think about it. 

749
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:35,900
If you're going to make a great 
nation out of somebody didn't 

750
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:40,500
have no kids and you promised 
him a kid to get this whole 

751
00:43:40,500 --> 00:43:42,600
thing going. 
Notice, he only gave him one. 

752
00:43:44,100 --> 00:43:46,000
All right. 
Only gave him one to keep get 

753
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,300
this thing off, all off the 
starting block, right? 

754
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:55,500
But yet, you know, job had seven
three girls and what was it five

755
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:57,000
boys? 
That was 703. 

756
00:43:57,500 --> 00:43:59,700
How's my math for boys three? 
Was it? 

757
00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:03,400
Three girls, three girls and it 
was seven kids, right Thursday, 

758
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,200
10 kids seven and three. 
I think it's seven and three. 

759
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,800
All right but you know all them 
was goofed up apparently I mean 

760
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,800
if job's all scared so we can 
get started. 

761
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,300
Nation with that Bunch, right? 
And so, you know God did bless 

762
00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:23,000
him in the end though. 
I mean, once he got shut up and 

763
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:28,000
he'll I hope shut up and the 
other guy shut up and God was 

764
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
able to say. 
You know, I ain't happy with 

765
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,700
none of this. 
And he and he told Jody said you

766
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:37,600
pray for him and I'll forgive 
them, but he gave him double for

767
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,700
his trouble. 
We've heard him say that, all 

768
00:44:39,708 --> 00:44:43,400
right, and gave him sons and 
daughters again in the same 

769
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,300
fashion. 
He said there were no girls in 

770
00:44:45,300 --> 00:44:48,500
the whole country as Fair as 
his, you know, next three 

771
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:53,100
daughters. 
So hopefully he trained them. 

772
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,900
And we don't have a sequel job, 
too. 

773
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,100
We don't want no job too. 
All right. 

774
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:06,000
And but when we take a look at 
what God promised us through the

775
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,100
blessing, we've got to realize 
we are all in that blessing. 

776
00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:16,000
And the thing that sealed it for
us was the death, the burial and

777
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,000
the resurrection of Jesus. 
That's why Pastor has been 

778
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,700
preaching. 
We are seated with him in 

779
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:26,400
Heavenly places and you know, 
you think about a king because 

780
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,700
I've often meditated on this 
about you know what a you know, 

781
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:34,600
a king sitting on a throne just 
looking around, ain't doing 

782
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:39,100
nothing. 
A king's whole job is to 

783
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:44,000
basically speak into existence. 
What he wants to see happen in 

784
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,200
his kingdom, he has to speak it.
And I think it's interesting 

785
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:56,200
because we just read judges one.
And a children of Israel asked 

786
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,700
the Lord. 
Should we go up and face this 

787
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:02,600
enemy? 
And the Lord answered them and 

788
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,200
said, yes, go ahead and go up 
and you will defeat them. 

789
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:11,900
Now, you remember what happened 
is that Samuel comes along and 

790
00:46:11,900 --> 00:46:15,700
they went to Samuel and they 
trusted in Samuel and Samuel was

791
00:46:15,700 --> 00:46:21,800
kind of the last judge because 
you had Deborah, you had Samson,

792
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,900
you had Gideon. 
These were all judges, that 

793
00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:27,500
delivered Israel from their 
enemies and then you get Samuel 

794
00:46:27,500 --> 00:46:30,100
in there, and Samuel gets going 
and they said what? 

795
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:32,400
We want a king like all the 
other nations. 

796
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:35,600
He said you don't want no King. 
They didn't need a king. 

797
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,500
All they had to do is ask God. 
Do we need to do this? 

798
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:40,900
And God said, yeah. 
He said do we need to do this? 

799
00:46:40,900 --> 00:46:45,200
Guy said, no. 
God's King, he absolutely was 

800
00:46:45,500 --> 00:46:48,200
but he prophesied. 
God prophesied in the 

801
00:46:48,208 --> 00:46:50,200
seventeenth chapter of 
Deuteronomy. 

802
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,700
He said they're going to want a 
king long before. 

803
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:56,200
Samuel was even a thought, his 
mama's mind. 

804
00:46:56,900 --> 00:47:01,400
In fact, even before Hannah was 
a thought her mama's mind. 

805
00:47:01,900 --> 00:47:04,800
Okay. 
She, he told him. 

806
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,200
He said they're going to want a 
king. 

807
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:09,300
So, here's the criteria for the 
king one. 

808
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,800
He has to be a native-born. 
He has to be a Jew. 

809
00:47:11,900 --> 00:47:15,700
Chew the second thing is he 
cannot amass a bunch of women to

810
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:19,600
himself as wives three. 
He can't a massive bunch of 

811
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,900
wealth to himself for he can't. 
And I don't know if I got them 

812
00:47:22,900 --> 00:47:26,500
in order for. 
He can't go down to Egypt to get

813
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:30,100
horses. 
He said, do not go that way 

814
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:33,400
again. 
And then the last thing was, 

815
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:38,400
when he said in his court, he 
was to rewrite by hand. 

816
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:42,200
The book of the law, which was 
Deuteronomy those things. 

817
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:48,400
Those things were requirement of
a king long before Samuel showed

818
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,300
up, and they start saying, give 
us a king, give us a king and 

819
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:53,400
remember what God said. 
He said don't be upset. 

820
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,400
He said, they haven't rejected 
you. 

821
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,600
They've rejected me as king. 
They had him, he's King. 

822
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,900
I mean, they asking was the king
say and the King said, and then 

823
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:05,200
they were able to follow that 
and get the results that the 

824
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,900
king said, But yet they wanted 
that Earthly King. 

825
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:13,700
All right, and they got it Saul 
and Saul had some problems. 

826
00:48:13,700 --> 00:48:18,300
He started out great but he 
didn't, you know, I hope he made

827
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:21,500
it but there's indication. 
He may not have. 

828
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:25,500
All right? 
Just based upon his life. 

829
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:26,800
All right. 
Same thing. 

830
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,000
Then you have, you know, you got
David and he said, he is one 

831
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,600
after my own heart, but then 
David had Solomon and I thought 

832
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,900
it was kind of weird. 
Because this was a child born 

833
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:41,800
out of adultery. 
So that kind of let me know 

834
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,200
that, you know, God ain't moved 
by any of that. 

835
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,600
And he made, he made Solomon 
King but then Solomon, he 

836
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,000
started out good. 
You know what do you want? 

837
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,600
He says, I just want to I just 
want to heart that knows how to 

838
00:48:55,700 --> 00:48:58,700
lead your people. 
Oh well that's great. 

839
00:48:58,700 --> 00:49:00,700
He said because you've asked 
that then I'm going to give you 

840
00:49:00,708 --> 00:49:05,000
everything else, right? 
Well the problem with Solomon He

841
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,000
broke all five rules that God 
gave explicitly said, went to 

842
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:17,200
Egypt and bought horses. 
Three hundred wives 700 in 

843
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:23,500
waiting. 
It's like a whole nation women. 

844
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,300
I mean come on man. 
Alright was wealthier than 

845
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:33,900
anybody else. 
They tell us and then what was 

846
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,100
the other one as far as well? 
We don't have a record that he 

847
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:39,800
even wrote in that. 
Could have been the problem. 

848
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,000
Okay. 
Why is that? 

849
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,500
Because he said those the wives 
that he married were strange 

850
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:50,500
women. 
Okay, and strange means not of 

851
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:54,600
your people and it said, they 
turned him away to their gods. 

852
00:49:55,100 --> 00:49:58,900
The Book of Ecclesiastes is 
written in that condition. 

853
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,800
That's why I don't like that 
book, all that much. 

854
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:02,600
Okay. 
Cuz he says, everything is 

855
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,700
Vanity. 
And then toward the end of it, 

856
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:10,900
he starts like getting some 
sense about him, all right? 

857
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:15,100
But, you know, he's supposed to 
be the wisest, man, but yet he 

858
00:50:15,100 --> 00:50:20,100
failed in the Moments of 
kingship even though he had some

859
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:24,600
moments man, remember the story 
about the two harlots they came 

860
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,100
with the one baby? 
He said, give me a sword. 

861
00:50:27,100 --> 00:50:28,900
Cut the baby in half and give 
them each a half. 

862
00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:31,500
And, you know, Mom says, no 
don't do that. 

863
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:33,400
Give it to the other. 
One said, that's Mom give it to 

864
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,100
her, you know, and everybody at 
me and he's like the reve, the 

865
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:39,300
nation when he talked about 
that, and then Queen of Sheba 

866
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:40,800
comes. 
All right. 

867
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,200
From Ethiopia or wherever was 
she's coming from and she was 

868
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,600
without breath at his Still, you
know, how wise you was any 

869
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,200
wrote, you know, all the 
Proverbs and he wrote on but the

870
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,900
thing was is that he just didn't
get it together and it got 

871
00:50:54,900 --> 00:51:00,200
turned aside to other gods. 
So, you know, the blessing of 

872
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:04,300
the Lord will come on us, but we
have to maintain that blessing. 

873
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,500
We have to maintain it, it just 
doesn't come and then we get to 

874
00:51:09,508 --> 00:51:12,900
do what we want because again, 
we are Kings. 

875
00:51:13,100 --> 00:51:18,500
We are priests what we say 
matters, not surprise to me as 

876
00:51:18,500 --> 00:51:22,300
excited as everybody else that 
Pastor decided that he was going

877
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:24,600
to talk about Rhema. 
Okay. 

878
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:27,300
The two words in the Greek for 
the words. 

879
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:33,300
Okay, is Rhema and logos logos 
basically in its definition 

880
00:51:33,300 --> 00:51:37,100
means something spoken, but 
really Recorded. 

881
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Because we're saying stuff all 
the time and nobody's writing it

882
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,100
down but that's a little gosh. 
But then he talked about the 

883
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:47,700
Rhema and the Rhema is what I 
call the hot off, the press 

884
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:50,700
spoken word of God, and what is 
it usually? 

885
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:55,600
What usually it is is him 
reminding you of what was said 

886
00:51:56,500 --> 00:51:59,400
from his word, that is a Rhema 
word. 

887
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:03,000
I mean, you know, you, you know,
you're trying to figure out and 

888
00:52:03,008 --> 00:52:05,200
all of a sudden you remember all
the words said that and he 

889
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,600
brings it to you. 
Remember I've had that happen a 

890
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,500
lot. 
Time to turn teaching that, you 

891
00:52:09,500 --> 00:52:11,600
know, I'll be on a subject and 
all of a sudden the scripture, I

892
00:52:11,608 --> 00:52:14,600
hadn't even think about in my 
notes comes to me. 

893
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,700
That was a Rhema. 
Okay, what else do we need? 

894
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:21,300
Raymond's on, we need hot off 
the on decision-making. 

895
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:25,400
How to bid how to figure out how
to, you know, compete? 

896
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,000
How do we? 
You know, make sure that we're 

897
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,800
giving the the best opportunity 
to get the business. 

898
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,500
We want to hear from him. 
All right. 

899
00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:36,300
That's what the tithe helps us 
do when we tithe. 

900
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:38,800
Alright? 
What, That helps us do, is it 

901
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,100
gives us an edge in the 
marketplace? 

902
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:47,300
All right, and that we can see 
people come and and want to do 

903
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:48,300
business with us. 
Why? 

904
00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:51,800
Because we have the blessing of 
the Lord, and if we're smart 

905
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,400
business people, we can go 
beyond the fact that I can build

906
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,600
you something I can fix your 
face. 

907
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,800
You know, I can fix the water, 
the sewer in your place, or your

908
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,800
sink, or whatever, or I can 
raise a bunch of kids and, and 

909
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,600
help them kindergarteners, you 
know, love Jesus. 

910
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,100
All right, and those things, but
when he tell, he talks to us, he

911
00:53:12,100 --> 00:53:16,600
said we can't, we have something
on the inside as Kings, and 

912
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,600
Priests and kings, and queens, 
and, and priestesses all right, 

913
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,300
that we have the opportunity to 
give people life. 

914
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,700
I mean, you know, when Melanie 
and I have opportunity, if we he

915
00:53:30,700 --> 00:53:33,300
said, I will give you the 
Heathen for your inheritance. 

916
00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:35,400
What do you think he's going to 
do that? 

917
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:37,400
You think is going to be in 
heaven? 

918
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,600
I don't think so. 
It's got to be here. 

919
00:53:41,300 --> 00:53:45,900
So when we do business with 
people, we know, by all things 

920
00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:51,700
said that they're not believers.
We leave and we call them into 

921
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:53,600
the kingdom. 
We say we call them Father, we 

922
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,600
claim them for the kingdom and 
they don't know it yet. 

923
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,000
There's some of them I, you 
know, I just look at him and I 

924
00:54:00,008 --> 00:54:04,600
say it's going to be a miracle 
to get you in, but I still 

925
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,200
believe you getting in. 
I mean, and it doesn't matter. 

926
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,700
I mean, we got it, we got our 
real estate instructor. 

927
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,600
We absolutely love him. 
I mean, he, you know, he's hard.

928
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,500
Okay. 
And, and we found a few things 

929
00:54:17,500 --> 00:54:20,100
that we connect, but we claim 
him in His wife for the kingdom.

930
00:54:20,500 --> 00:54:23,700
You know, we got we got some 
neighbors that, we claim them 

931
00:54:23,700 --> 00:54:25,500
for the kingdom, come to find 
out. 

932
00:54:25,700 --> 00:54:28,500
We got a neighbor and one day, 
he stopped and I'm washing the 

933
00:54:28,508 --> 00:54:29,900
car or something. 
He stopped. 

934
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:33,100
Hey, you know what's going on? 
My name is Eric and I live down

936
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,900
And I said, hey, Eric's nice to 
meet you finally. 

937
00:54:36,900 --> 00:54:39,000
That other than I don't think 
all of a sudden, arick, shows up

00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:43,900
and sitting behind me in church,
just recently him and his wife 

939

to one of them, okay?

00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,700
And they sit behind, they're the

945
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,500
And I go, you guys are so funny,

946
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:08,500
that pastoral drop a bomb on us,
you know, or something. 

947
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:11,200
He goes, oh my God, you know, is
that there? 

948
00:55:11,500 --> 00:55:12,900
And yeah, it's what he said 
every time. 

949
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:16,200
Oh my God. 
You know, and, and I'm thinking,

950
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,800
man, I said, I am so glad you're
here. 

951
00:55:18,900 --> 00:55:22,600
Here and everybody, it just, I 
mean, just the things that, you 

952
00:55:22,608 --> 00:55:26,700
know, Pastor saying and we're 
used to but, you know, when 

953
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:32,300
you're new, I mean, it's like, 
oh my God, you know? 

954
00:55:32,300 --> 00:55:36,800
I mean where have I been? 
And and so, you know, when we 

955
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,900
take a look, we take a look, 
remember the? 

956
00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:44,800
We are that blessing. 
He will make you a blessing. 

957
00:55:45,500 --> 00:55:48,800
You will have Prosperity. 
You will have his favor. 

958
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,400
You will have the opportunity to
share and here's the deal, they 

959
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,200
ought to see it on us. 
You know, one of the things that

960
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:00,300
Melanie and I when I went to the
hospital and I think it's 

961
00:56:00,300 --> 00:56:03,400
probably one of my last Stitch 
surgeries that I had because I 

962
00:56:03,408 --> 00:56:08,000
had over 30 and he was one of my
last ones I believe in God, you 

963
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,700
know? 
And, and me and the doctor, the 

964
00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:14,400
surgeon. 
He says, he, I go, what was my 

965
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,500
creatinine, the last time you 
did this and and you pull the 

966
00:56:17,500 --> 00:56:19,600
stents out? 
And then, you know, I thought I 

967
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,200
was doing good and you call me 
in for emergency surgery and we 

968
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,600
did that. 
And then my cracking and It 

969
00:56:24,608 --> 00:56:27,900
didn't go down and then I had to
start dialysis, what was my 

970
00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:29,800
creatinine? 
And he told me it was a five. 

971
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,800
I said, well I'm at a 3 now he 
goes you want to pull one of 

972
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,300
them and see what I said. 
Yeah, I do. 

973
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:38,600
All right, and so we always did 
a pre-op, you always go in and 

974
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,600
talk to the doctors and they 
wanted, you know, you know, 

975
00:56:42,300 --> 00:56:44,900
check your neck size for 
anesthesia, you know, you're 

976
00:56:44,900 --> 00:56:46,900
going to, you know, all this 
kind of stuff. 

977
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:50,700
And and one of the the 
physician's assistants that 

978
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:52,500
we've seen her many times and 
she just looked at it. 

979
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:55,100
She goes. 
Listen, you two. 

980
00:56:56,300 --> 00:57:02,800
She said there is not one doctor
or nurse or technician, that has

981
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,300
had you that you've not 
impacted. 

982
00:57:07,700 --> 00:57:12,300
Not one and I said the thing 
that we see in you that we can't

983
00:57:12,300 --> 00:57:14,800
see. 
And everybody else is how you 

984
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,000
maintained, a great attitude 
through all of that even when we

985
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,700
knew you were hurting. 
And so the thing is is that 

986
00:57:22,700 --> 00:57:26,300
we're to be a blessing no matter
what's going on. 

987
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:29,300
We ought to look for those 
opportunities to be a blessing. 

988
00:57:29,700 --> 00:57:31,600
All right? 
I mean you know when the doctors

989
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,700
are saying, you know what I 
mean, we did everything we knew 

990
00:57:33,700 --> 00:57:37,500
to do and it didn't work. 
And then all of a sudden, And 

991
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:41,100
you're cancer-free and they use 
the word as that's miraculous. 

992
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:43,500
I said, write that on my notes, 
man. 

993
00:57:44,700 --> 00:57:47,600
I need somebody else to see 
that, so they don't get 

994
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,900
squirrely. 
I mean, because, you know, I 

995
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:56,500
had, I had some challenges with 
cept Us in my legs and, you 

996
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:58,200
know, it just come on me at 
different times. 

997
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,300
One time, we were in a grocery 
store, she was in the grocery 

998
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:02,300
store. 
I was out in the car, all of a 

999
00:58:02,308 --> 00:58:04,200
sudden. 
I just start shaking violently 

1000
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,900
and I know, you know and first 
time it Then we were on an 

1001
00:58:07,900 --> 00:58:11,800
anniversary trip and and and 
then deal is I got to deal with 

1002
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,800
every time I go in, I got to 
deal with young, doctors the and

1003
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,500
and the Mayo Clinic is an 
educational school, okay? 

1004
00:58:19,700 --> 00:58:22,200
And so you get to deal and all 
of them think I'm dying. 

1005
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,400
They matter. 
Mr. Clay, we've read your charts

1006
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,400
and really look at your blood 
and they let him that I said, 

1007
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:28,900
Relax. 
No, you don't understand like 

1008
00:58:28,900 --> 00:58:33,600
that. 
I understand more than anybody 

1009
00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:36,600
understands, you know? 
And one time they were, they 

1010
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,700
were saying, Yeah, we got to get
them stance back in there 

1011
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:40,900
because you had a little bit of 
a little bit earlier, you just

I said, and his little his 

1017

little partner that was with 
him.

Was the one that was making the 
phone calls? 

1019
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,500
We got to set him up for 
surgery. 

1020
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:05,000
We got to get him in there. 
We got it down, he goes, I said,

1021
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,000
man, every time they put me on 
antibiotics, my creatinine goes 

1022
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,600

doing surgeries and he goes Not 

1023
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,300
do any looks at him and he looks
at the end, he's a youngster. 

1024
00:59:15,300 --> 00:59:16,600
Okay. 
He looks at him he said we're 

1025
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,200

fine. 

1026

would he say that the and here's

1039
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:04,300
the last thing, when you read 
that account on Joseph, it says 

1040
01:00:04,300 --> 01:00:06,900
they noticed that the Lord was 
with him. 

1041
01:00:07,900 --> 01:00:11,800
When you talk about prosperity 
and you're on a journey, that's 

1042
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,700

1045
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,600
You opportunity. 
Just to remind ourselves of some

1046
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:23,000
things that we truly are the 
Blessed of the Lord. 

1047

you. 

1055

within us.

01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,000
So therefore what we speak 
allows Kingdom out. 

1057
01:00:52,500 --> 01:00:54,700
And so we want to speak life to 
those around us.

01:00:54,700 --> 01:00:57,200
We want to speak healing to 
those around us.

We want to speak eternal life to
those around us. 

1060
01:01:00,100 --> 01:01:02,900
And father God, that they would 
come to the saving knowledge of 

1061
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:05,800
