1
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:20,900
I don't know about you, but I 
came to be changed today. 

2
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,500
I came to be changed and I'm 
just gonna get real honest, you 

3
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:27,000
can be really vocal this 
morning. 

4
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:29,700
You should talk back. 
You should say Amen. 

5
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,299
If something resonates in your 
spirit you can run around this 

6
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:33,400
room. 
Don't get weird. 

7
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,200
Okay. 
But if God is resonating 

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800
something in you, the church 
should not be quiet. 

9
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,300
We are not sitting in a church 
and some man is telling us the 

10
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:46,800
Oracles of God, you got the 
spirit of God in you and it can 

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,600
relay things and it can shine 
things in your life. 

12
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,400
So it's very okay. 
This jump and shout and dance 

13
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:58,500
It's okay to be vocal. 
The church is where we come 

14
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:02,000
together and get encouraged. 
So you can go out and fulfill 

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,400
your assignment. 
And I felt the Lord, just say 

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,400
Let My Words speak because there
was enough word in his in this 

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,700
in this book, there's enough, 
does anybody still believe in 

18
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:14,500
this book? 
There was enough word in this 

19
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:18,800
book to change your entire 
situation, it can raise the 

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,100
Dead. 
I grew up in church all my life 

21
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,400
and I still believe it has the 
power to raise the dead. 

22
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,900
I Still Believe We Lay hands on 
the sick and they will recover. 

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,600
I still believe we can cast out 
demons and they will leave We're

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,500
not preaching a weak man's 
message. 

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,200
Jesus wasn't a weak, man. 
He wasn't a sissy man. 

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,800
He was a man's man. 
You want to know why? 

27
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,200
Because he did the will of his 
father, and the manliest thing 

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,200
you can do is, do God's will for
your life and all the women 

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,500
said, amen. 
The most sexiest thing for your 

30
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:54,400
marriage is a man of God, they 
don't need a paycheck, they 

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,800
don't need a six-figure income, 
they need a man of God who hears

32
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,800
God and follows God because that
will bring you everything you 

33
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,500
need. 
If I can get a little more, that

34
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,100
would be awesome if not. 
Hallelujah, come on, come on, 

35
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:08,000
come on. 
I'm came to be changed, man. 

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,800
Let the word of God speak. 
Let him speak. 

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,000
Let him speak. 
All right. 

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Matthew 7, we're going to go 
back. 

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,000
I need to read this. 
I just felt we needed to set the

40
00:02:14,008 --> 00:02:19,300
ground to read this, but it 
says, come on say say God I give

41
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,900
you permission. 
It's very important. 

42
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:23,700
You say that because if you 
don't allow God to change your 

43
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:29,600
he won't You can say God, I 
don't know everything, help me, 

44
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,600
change me. 
Mold me. 

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Make me more like you, I Repent,
I Repent. 

46
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:34,300
So you gotta give God 
permission. 

47
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:38,000
God's not gonna find it, you 
know, step inside your business.

48
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:41,000
You have to yield your business 
to him, right? 

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,000
So give him permission this 
morning and I want you to know 

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,300
everything. 
I preach you this morning, I'm 

51
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:47,400
preaching to myself and I hope 
it can fix you because it can 

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,000
fix me. 
And I believe we should come to 

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,600
church and be convicted not feel
good. 

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,400
And I'm thankful for our 
pastors, who preach a message, 

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000
they don't care how you feel, 
because the word of God doesn't 

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400
care how you feel, but the word 
of God will bring you life if 

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,800
you apply it. 
It's too many preachers 

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,700
preaching. 
What you, I don't care. 

59
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:06,100
If this is not a message for 
likes and comments, this is a 

60
00:03:06,108 --> 00:03:08,300
message if you would apply to 
change your life. 

61
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:13,700
So we're in a good house or 
pastors have set the ground so 

62
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,100
if I offend you it's nothing 
personal. 

63
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:20,400
It's the word. 
Can I just say this, your life 

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000
should bring offense to people 
not that you're trying to be 

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,600
offensive and haughty and 
arrogant and don't be a jerk. 

66
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:31,200
Okay? 
But when you live the Bible, It 

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,300
doesn't blend with the cultures 
of this world and there's a lot 

68
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:36,800
going on in the cultures of this
world. 

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,200
I won't get into it, but just 
look on your Facebook feeds. 

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,000
Of all the things but they're 
blind. 

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,700
The Bible calls them. 
So we're not mad, run an angry, 

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,800
we pray, we pray. 
All right. 

73
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,000
Matthew 7, are you there? 
Come on it says enter by the 

74
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,400
narrow gate. 
This is kind of an old-school 

75
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,500
verse but I still believe it has
much. 

76
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:05,300
Revelant relevance, thank you 
for today, enter by the narrow 

77
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:09,200
gate for wide is the gate and 
Broad is the way that leads to 

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,600
destruction. 
I'm going to walk all over the 

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,100
stage because I can't come off. 
Okay, so just and it says, broad

80
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:18,800
is the way in that leads to 
destruction. 

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,900
And there are many who go by in 
a say many, because narrow is 

82
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:28,500
the gate and difficult is the 
way, which leads to life. 

83
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:33,800
And there are few who find And 
it the in OT verse and says this

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,000
it says you can you can enter 
God's kingdom only through the 

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,500
narrow gate. 
You can enter God's kingdom only

86
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,700
through the narrow gate. 
So here's the big question. 

87
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:49,800
Why is the gate and narrow? 
Why does the Bible say, 

88
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400
difficult is the way in few who 
find it was? 

89
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Jesus, Come on. 
Talk to me, was he trying to be 

90
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,300
hard to get? 
Was he trying to be hard to 

91
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:58,300
find? 
Was he trying to be confusing? 

92
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,100
Was he trying to say, hey, come 
follow me, psych know he was, 

93
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,400
what was, what was he trying to 
mislead? 

94
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,600
People know? 
We know that he said, oh come to

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,900
me all who are weary and I will 
give you rest. 

96
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:10,700
We know that he said, I am the 
way, the truth and the life, 

97
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:11,400
right? 
We know this. 

98
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:13,500
He said, if you seek me you will
what? 

99
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:19,100
So we know he wants to be found.
So why is the gate and narrow 

100
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:20,400
Jesus? 
What are you doing? 

101
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,600
You want to know why the Gate of
the kingdom is narrow. 

102
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,000
The Gated to the kingdom is 
narrow because the only thing 

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
that'll fit through the gate is 
you the only thing that'll fit 

104
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,600
through the gate is you and 
other words. 

105
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,300
Jesus was saying, if you want to
enter the kingdom, you can't 

106
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:36,800
bring your past. 
He says, if you want to enter 

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,400
the kingdom of God, listen, you 
can't bring your future. 

108
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,300
You can't bring your ideas. 
You can't bring her. 

109
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:43,000
Agendas you can't bring your 
options. 

110
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,100
You can't bring your culture. 
You can't bring your family. 

111
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,600
You can't bring your plans. 
He said, if you want to come to 

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,900
the kingdom, you gotta enter by 
the narrow gate. 

113
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:04,000
The only thing that will fit 
through the gate is you The only

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,400
thing that's why you see the 
arrow, the only thing that'll 

115
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,700
fit through the gate, your plans
won't fit through the gate. 

116
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:13,700
Your family culture won't fit 
through the gate. 

117
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:17,200
Your 401k your savings, you'll 
put your career. 

118
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:20,300
It won't fit through the gate. 
What will fit through the gate 

119
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:23,800
is a hard saying, Lord, not that
will, but your will be done. 

120
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:29,500
That's the only thing, that'll 
fit the narrow gate and in fact 

121
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:31,700
to get to the gate, you must 
actually die. 

122
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:34,800
I was speaking with Josh, that's
good to have some iron 

123
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,500
sharpening iron right? 
I got to give him credit is, he 

124
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:40,300
told me this. 
Okay. 

125
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,600
So but if you're gonna eat it is
true. 

126
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,300
If you enter the kingdom with, 
you're gonna go through the 

127
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:45,800
gate. 
You must enter as a dead man. 

128
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,600
Say dead, man. 
Because God is not trying to 

129
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,500
just wash you and make you 
something better. 

130
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,800
He's trying to completely make 
you new. 

131
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:56,800
You don't have to go there but 
I'll just give it to you. 

132
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Second Corinthians 5:17 says 
therefore If any man be in 

133
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,400
Christ he is a new creation. 
He's new. 

134
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,300
He's new he's not fixed. 
God is not trying to fix you. 

135
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,400
He's trying to make you new and 
if you come to the gate of the 

136
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,900
Kingdom, God's not gonna say, oh
that's cute. 

137
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:10,700
Lemon make you better. 
And it doesn't say you're gonna 

138
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:12,500
have to die. 
I'm gonna resurrect you become 

139
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:15,300
something completely, new 
behold, all things have become 

140
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,500
new. 
Paul said, I have been crucified

141
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:19,300
with Christ. 
It is no longer I who live, but 

142
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:22,200
the life I live. 
I live in Christ. 

143
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,300
So if you're gonna come to the 
gate of the Kingdom, you have to

144
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:28,400
die. 
Not physically guns, not trying 

145
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,900
to kill you. 
He's on a mean God. 

146
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,800
But he says, if you want to come
to this Kingdom, you got to give

147
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,300
me all your plans. 
All your agendas, all your 

148
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:42,800
future thinking. 
That's why it's difficult 

149
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,800
church. 
That's why it's narrow because 

150
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,600
not everyone wants to die to 
self. 

151
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800
But Paul said, I Crucify My 
Flesh that I may Die. 

152
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:52,600
Daily. 
Come on. 

153
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Is God. 
Speaking this morning, That's 

154
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,300
why it's difficult today. 
I want to talk to you about 

155
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,200
keeping, it narrow said, keep it
narrow. 

156
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,200
For those of you who like to 
title your messages, you can 

157
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,200
write keep it narrow. 
You gotta keep it narrow, man. 

158
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,800
You gotta keep it narrow. 
You gotta keep it narrow. 

159
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,500
Because in the world we live in.
There are way too many options. 

160
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Everything is begging for your 
attention. 

161
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:18,800
Everything is begging for your 
likes. 

162
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:21,400
Everything is begging for your 
subscription ring, the bell to 

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,400
hit the Bell you know, subscribe
subscribe there were so many 

164
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,900
voices. 
So many options, but Jesus and 

165
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:36,200
go God in Jesus. 
Made a really narrow So many 

166
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,299
options, that's we know why. 
That's why I'm thankful for 

167
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:42,200
Kingdom, Revelation, not the 
revelation of Christianity. 

168
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,900
Say that again, I'm thankful for
Kingdom Revelation, not the 

169
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:51,500
revelation of Christianity 
because if you ain't Christ like

170
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:54,400
you in a Christian and I don't 
know about you but I met a lot 

171
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,500
of Christians are like are you 
sure about that? 

172
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,100
It's not me. 
Are you sure about that? 

173
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,700
If you know, you know, I'm 
thankful for the kingdom of the 

174
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:05,400
Revelation. 
Why? 

175
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,000
Because it made things really 
simple and really narrow The 

176
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,400
kingdom made it narrowed, didn't
it? 

177
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,900
And made it simple. 
It took all the, you know, the 

178
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,400
things of religion and all the 
things that made it really 

179
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,800
simple. 
It brought Clarity, right? 

180
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,600
It brought like, I see it. 
So thankful, so even in the 

181
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,200
beginning, let's go to Genesis 
chapter 2. 

182
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Are you with me? 
Don't get quiet on slap you? 

183
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,300
Why can't get off the stage? 
So I'll just are slap, right? 

184
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:34,100
Genesis chapter through Genesis 
chapter 2, even in the 

185
00:09:34,108 --> 00:09:35,800
beginning, God made it really 
narrow. 

186
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:38,700
This is then the Lord God took 
the man and put him in the 

187
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,900
Garden of Eden to tend and to 
keep it while we gotta work. 

188
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:44,200
Yeah. 
Verse 16 and the Lord, God 

189
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,300
commanded, the man saying of 
every tree of the garden you may

190
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,800
freely eat but of the tree of 
the knowledge of Good and Evil, 

191
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400
you shall not eat for. 
In the day, you eat it. 

192
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,300
You shall surely die. 
It's pretty simple. 

193
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,900
You can have all these things. 
All this stuff is yours, but 

194
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,500
this tree don't touch. 
It's pretty simple. 

195
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:02,700
It's not confusing right? 
And guys not like moving it 

196
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:04,300
around. 
That would be pretty, you know, 

197
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,500
here and then Adams like dang, 
you know, there's really all 

198
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,000
these things you can have but 
the tree in the middle, Don't 

199
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,400
touch, don't eat those smell it,
don't look at it. 

200
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:15,800
Turn your head, pretty simple, 
pretty narrow. 

201
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:21,600
But then confusion comes in 
chapter 3, Genesis 3 1 through 

202
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,900
6, Now, the serpent was more 
cunning than any beast of the 

203
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:28,700
field, which the Lord God had 
made, and he said to the woman, 

204
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,200
has God, indeed said, You shall 
not eat of the tree of the 

205
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600
garden. 
Come on and the woman said to 

206
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,300
the serpent. 
We may eat of the fruit of the 

207
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:40,300
Trees of the garden, but of the 
fruit of the tree which is in 

208
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:43,400
the midst of the garden, God has
said, You shall not eat it, nor 

209
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,200
shall you? 
Touch it? 

210
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,100
Lest you die, right? 
She's keeping it simple. 

211
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:49,400
So know what, I don't know what 
you're saying, because God said 

212
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,700
this, then verse for, this is 
where confusion comes in. 

213
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:55,700
Then the serpent said to the 
woman, you will not surely die 

214
00:10:56,300 --> 00:10:58,100
for God knows that in the evil 
day, you eat of it. 

215
00:10:58,108 --> 00:11:01,100
Your eyes will be opened and you
will be like God knowing Good 

216
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,500
and Evil. 
There are six. 

217
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,400
So when the woman saw listen so 
when the woman saw that the tree

218
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,400
was good for food and that it 
was pleasant to the eyes and it 

219
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,900
was a tree desirable to make one
wise. 

220
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:17,700
She took of its fruit in innate.
So the note here is just because

221
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:19,400
something is good Pleasant to 
the eyes. 

222
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Desirable looks good. 
Make sense doesn't mean it's 

223
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,300
from God. 
Just because something is good. 

224
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,300
Just because something is 
Pleasant to your eye. 

225
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,100
Just because something is 
desirable just because you want,

226
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:37,400
it does not mean it's from God 
just because you can think it 

227
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,000
out mathematically just because 
that second job works with your 

228
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,900
schedule just because their 
future spouse works for your 

229
00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:45,300
eyes. 
The last time I checked, the 

230
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:47,900
devil doesn't show up in a red 
Pitchfork in a costume. 

231
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:52,000
He shows up as a really good 
opportunity, right? 

232
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,300
Come on. 
It shows up as an open door, but

233
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:58,000
here's my question. 
Did God really open that door? 

234
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,800
Because I last time, I shit, the
devil has hands to. 

235
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,700
He's not an amputee, he can open
doors and what people call God 

236
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:04,500
is. 
Not God. 

237
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,800
Did God really bring that new 
business idea to you or is it a 

238
00:12:07,808 --> 00:12:10,500
distraction from your purpose? 
Talk to me. 

239
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:12,900
Did God, bring that fine looking
man in your life or is it a 

240
00:12:12,908 --> 00:12:16,700
distraction from your purpose? 
Did God bring that second job in

241
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:18,300
your life? 
Or is it as a distraction from 

242
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:20,200
the purpose? 
Just because notice he didn't 

243
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400
tempted with Matt old nasty 
fruit. 

244
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,900
It look good. 
It made sense. 

245
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:26,500
Everyone accepted it. 
Everyone be like, yeah, he but 

246
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,400
just because it's good, doesn't 
mean it's God. 

247
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,700
That's the word for somebody 
just because it's good, doesn't 

248
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:36,200
mean it's God. 
I know this was a really bad 

249
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,500
opportunity. 
Mast with advancement. 

250
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600
It was a really bad opportunity,
Mast with advancement. 

251
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,500
In other words, he would say, 
no, if you just eat it, come on 

252
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:46,900
it, it'll make everything 
better. 

253
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,600
And is it? 
The devil saying the same exact 

254
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,100
junk today, That's why you got 
to keep an arrow say, keep it 

255
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:55,700
narrow. 
Okay. 

256
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:57,500
So that was gone. 
Let's see what Jesus had to say 

257
00:12:57,500 --> 00:13:00,900
about some things because Jesus 
also made it really narrow 

258
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:04,200
Matthew chapter 6. 
Come on. 

259
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,400
Here we go. 
So here we go. 

260
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,800
No one can serve two masters, 
I'm sorry. 

261
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,100
Matthew 6:24 you there. 
Boom, no one can serve. 

262
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:14,900
Two masters for. 
You will hate one and love. 

263
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:17,000
The other. 
You will be devoted to one and 

264
00:13:17,008 --> 00:13:20,000
despise the other. 
You cannot serve God and being 

265
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,200
slave to money and don't work. 
Come on, say it don't work. 

266
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,800
It don't work verse 25. 
That is why I tell you not to 

267
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,700
worry about everyday life. 
Whether you have enough food or 

268
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:33,200
drink or close to, where is that
your life? 

269
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,200
More than food in your body? 
More than clothing? 

270
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,700
Look at the birds of the air. 
They don't plant, they do. 

271
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,900
Harvest. 
They don't store food in your 

272
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:41,600
bothers. 
Yet your heavenly father. 

273
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:49,700
Feeds them all. 
And aren't you more valuable 

274
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:52,500
than they are more valuable than
a burden. 

275
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,400
Can all your worries, had a 
single moment to your life verse

276
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,200
28. 
And why do you worry about 

277
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,000
clothing? 
Don't worry about clothes 

278
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,400
clothing changes all the time. 
Dear God, you're never going to 

279
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,700
be in style, just know that, 
okay? 

280
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:09,400
Because it changes and changes 
and if God still cares 

281
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,100
wonderfully and while the 
wonderful wonderfully for the 

282
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,900
wild flowers that are here today
and thrown into the end 

283
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:17,200
tomorrow, he will certainly care
for you. 

284
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,700
Why do you have so little faith?
In other words, God is saying, 

285
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:21,900
why are you stressing out about 
everything that I already 

286
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:26,100
promised you? 
Why are you stressing out about 

287
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:27,800
everything? 
God already promised you? 

288
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,600
That's it. 
Come on. 

289
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:34,200
So don't worry about saying 
saying, what will we eat, or 

290
00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:36,400
what will we drink? 
Or what will we wear, listen for

291
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,200
these things dominate. 
In other words they consume the 

292
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,400
thoughts of unbelievers, 
everyone's looking for what to 

293
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,200
wear, what to eat, where to live
all the jobs. 

294
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,600
I think he's saying don't seek 
any of that things. 

295
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,800
Whoo, he said so what will be 
where they dominate consume the 

296
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,900
thoughts of unbelievers but not 
us, right? 

297
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:59,600
I don't know. 
But your heavenly father already

298
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,100
knows all your needs worse. 
Third thing. 

299
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,200
You made a very narrow, very 
simple, seek. 

300
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,600
The kingdom of God above, every 
above all else. 

301
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,100
Notice he doesn't say alongside 
everything else. 

302
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,900
Some of your asking, God to 
bless your life, you need to ask

303
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:16,500
God, to be your life. 
It's two different things. 

304
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,700
Some of you are asking God to 
bless your life and God needs to

305
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:22,700
be your life. 
He needs to be the reason you 

306
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:24,000
wake up. 
The reason you go to bed, the 

307
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,500
reason you work the job, the 
reason you're married. 

308
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,700
The reason you do everything, 
you don't fit the kingdom in 

309
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:29,000
your life. 
The kingdom is your life and 

310
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,500
everything else makes sense. 
Come on, talk to me. 

311
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,000
You don't try to fit the 
kingdom. 

312
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,600
No, you get stuck at the gate. 
Not with everything else. 

313
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,500
You don't bring your crap and 
say, God I'm gonna fall. 

314
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:44,400
We got so know if you're gonna 
follow me, abandon all, I have 

315
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:51,000
to be everything in your life. 
That's why it's difficult not so

316
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,400
we can't. 
Okay, let's keep going seek. 

317
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,300
The kingdom Above All Else, and 
live righteously. 

318
00:15:56,700 --> 00:16:03,600
So be key, live right before. 
God Not on Sundays every day and

319
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,000
he will give you everything and 
he will give you everything you 

320
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,300
need verse 34. 
So don't worry about tomorrow 

321
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:09,900
for tomorrow, bring its own 
worries. 

322
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,300
In that true. 
Some of y'all got some problems 

323
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,800
coming, don't worry about, it's 
coming but what about today and 

324
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,300
today will help you for 
tomorrow, right? 

325
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,500
Today's trouble is enough for 
today. 

326
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:21,200
Here we go. 
I am very concerned that what is

327
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,000
dominating. 
The thoughts of unbelievers are 

328
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,700
also dominated the thoughts of 
believers. 

329
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,000
I'm very concerned that what is 
dominating. 

330
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,600
The minds of unbelievers is also
dominating. 

331
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:37,800
The minds of church folk. 
Jesus made it very narrow. 

332
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,000
He said, if you would make two 
things you'll priority, 

333
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,000
everything else in life would 
fall in line. 

334
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,800
He said, if you would make two 
things your priority, everything

335
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,500
you need, not want everything 
you need everything. 

336
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:55,200
You need will be added to. 
You, does anybody still believe 

337
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,900
that this first Works? 
He said if you would make two 

338
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:00,400
things, what does that mean? 
Number one, God, I'm seeking 

339
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,300
first. 
Your kingdom. 

340
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:04,000
What does that mean? 
And he's God, I no longer live, 

341
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,700
you live in my life, take my 
life. 

342
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,599
Take my plans, take my dreams. 
Take everything I submitted at 

343
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,599
the gate and I say, not as I 
will, but your will be done. 

344
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,900
Don't make me something better. 
Make me new, make me new. 

345
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:19,099
I give you all my aspirations on
my plans on my dreams, on my 

346
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:21,000
Pinterest boards. 
Oh, my beautiful future 

347
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,200
vacations. 
All the things that I want to do

348
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,500
Lord, is that what you? 
And he said, if you would put 

349
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:28,800
his kingdom, his plans, his 
things above everything else, 

350
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,500
and then also stay right with 
him. 

351
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,200
Which means you are a doer of 
the word of God and you 

352
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,100
constantly are repenting and 
saying, okay? 

353
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,900
Because I don't know. 
Chew, the more we the bottom 

354
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:39,200
like dang I gotta change, right?
Dang, I gotta change. 

355
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,400
He said, if he would seek me 
first and then just and then do 

356
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,100
the word of God and apply the 
changes that you need. 

357
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:48,200
And when I Spirit talks to you, 
and when your pastor corrects 

358
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,800
you, if you would accept it, 
that's not a word for man, but a

359
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,800
word from God. 
He said, if you would do those 

360
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,100
two things, everything you need 
will be added to you. 

361
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,700
I'm here to tell you, it works. 
So many of y'all are running 

362
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:07,400
after the things and God said, 
one after me, why are you 

363
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,900
breathing? 
Why are you breathing? 

364
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,500
You're not breathing to take up 
space, your breathing to fulfill

365
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:22,800
your purpose, your purpose. 
Why are athletes making millions

366
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,100
of dollars in actors making 
millions of dollars in massive 

367
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,000
influence? 
But yet they're oh, Dean and 

368
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,900
they're stuck on drugs in there.
Going from one relationship to 

369
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:34,300
relationship to all this drama 
and their take their life. 

370
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,500
It's because they have 
everything but they don't have 

371
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:40,100
the one thing you need the 
kingdom in your life. 

372
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:43,500
It makes everything really 
simple. 

373
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,000
I don't work for money, I don't 
work for opportunities. 

374
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:49,500
I don't pick my career. 
I said God, where do you need 

375
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:50,700
me? 
Well, they don't pay you enough,

376
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,900
he ain't pay me the first place.
I'm honored pastor but he's not 

377
00:18:55,900 --> 00:19:00,700
my Supply and I'm thankful 
because he taught me that Either

378
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:05,500
one, I did like to hear that. 
But he's not my Supply. 

379
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:06,400
I'm here. 
Not for him. 

380
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,400
I'm here because of God and if 
you don't pay me, God will find 

381
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,000
a way? 
I believe it. 

382
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,600
I believe food will show up in 
your pantry. 

383
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,300
Gas will show up in your car 
when you serve your purpose. 

384
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,800
When you seek first that your 
life is not your own but you're 

385
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,500
saying God what do I do with my 
life? 

386
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,800
What do I do with my life? 
Okay, I'm seeking that. 

387
00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:34,000
Keep it narrow say it. 
Here's the thing. 

388
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,900
You don't seek the kingdom for 
the things because then you're 

389
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:38,000
already off. 
I'm not one of those preachers. 

390
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
You can follow God, you have a 
wrote that people have made it 

391
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,500
dumb and made it a success. 
It's not about having the nicest

392
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:47,200
things. 
It's about having everything you

393
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,900
need. 
I stand before you a very 

394
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:52,600
wealthy man, not because of my 
bank account, but because of my 

395
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:59,000
purpose, when you know, your 
purpose, you can't die. 

396
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:02,600
I'm talking physical covid, 
covid 2.0. 

397
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:06,900
Whatever the new disease that 
they caught it could come. 

398
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,400
But it can't take me because I 
have a purpose. 

399
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,100
And I've seen people on their 
deathbed, get off their deathbed

400
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:15,100
because they realize they got 
purpose. 

401
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,600
You don't need money, you don't 
need money. 

402
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,200
You need the kingdom. 
You need to seek the kingdom, 

403
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,700
first. 
I know this is wild preaching, 

404
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,800
but this is the house we in, and
I remember when Pastor go back 

405
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,300
in 312, started laying out. 
This Foundation, I was like, I 

406
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:38,900
was sitting on fire 312 You 
don't have a money problem. 

407
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:43,400
You gotta seeking problem. 
You don't have an anxiety, a 

408
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,100
problem. 
You have a seeking problem, you 

409
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,200
don't have a marriage problem, a
family problem, a career 

410
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,400
problem, I whatever problem you 
have a seeking problem because 

411
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,900
if you would seek first, the 
kingdom of God, everything you 

412
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:54,900
need will be added. 
Is that me? 

413
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:56,900
We will have opposition. 
Know, you're gonna have hell 

414
00:20:56,900 --> 00:20:59,800
itself, come against you, but he
said be of good cheer for I have

415
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,300
overcome the world. 
He said, greater is he? 

416
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,400
That is in you than he that is 
in the world. 

417
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:06,100
I don't know about you, but 
you're gonna have some 

418
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:08,000
opposition. 
You're gonna have some haters, 

419
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,100
you're gonna have some people 
that straight up lie about you 

420
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:12,400
steal from you. 
Jesus made it very clear that 

421
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,600
people will come against you. 
They came against me, but he 

422
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,700
said be of good cheer. 
That's why your family doesn't 

423
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:19,700
understand why you're serving 
God but you guess what? 

424
00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:21,800
You're not living for them? 
Because I know that, you know, 

425
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,700
that I'm going to stand up from 
the God one day, that's all, 

426
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:27,500
that's gonna matter. 
Whoo. 

427
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,700
So you don't have it. 
All your problems can be solved.

428
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:33,000
If you seek first, the kingdom 
of God, will you have problems? 

429
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:35,300
Yeah. 
Great opportunities. 

430
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:37,200
The devil came to Jesus three 
times. 

431
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:38,800
I mean, it's a pretty big deal, 
right? 

432
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,500
We brush on the devil, came to 
Jesus three times. 

433
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:43,900
What did you say it is written 
is written. 

434
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,500
And at the very end of this is 
the devil looked came back for 

435
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:49,000
an opportune time. 
He's coming back. 

436
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,600
No we're not like, oh the 
devil's coming. 

437
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:59,700
Bring it on, but when I'm in my 
purpose, if God be for me, God's

438
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:01,900
not for a lot of people, it's 
hard. 

439
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:04,300
I know. 
He Loves Us. 

440
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:06,700
Sure he wants the best for our 
lives. 

441
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,900
But when I'm serving the 
kingdom, he's got my back. 

442
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,900
He's got my back and 
unfortunately most of the church

443
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:20,400
has it backwards running after 
the things and God never told 

444
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,100
you to run after the things. 
You don't need another job. 

445
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,100
You don't need a better job. 
What you need to do, is say 

446
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:29,900
King, where do I work? 
That is a completely different 

447
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:31,000
mind shift. 
I know. 

448
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600
But you were never leave you and
never meant to take care of 

449
00:22:33,608 --> 00:22:36,200
yourself. 
Let your pride down. 

450
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,200
You were never meant to take 
care of yourself. 

451
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,400
I'm not saying you should be 
lazy in a bomb and I do 

452
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,000
anything, but you weren't meant 
to make. 

453
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,300
All the ends. 
Meet, you were meant to seek 

454
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:45,000
first. 
The kingdom of God, and let him 

455
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,800
add things to you and his 
timing. 

456
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,600
And the last time I checked 
God's timing isn't your timing, 

457
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,000
it could it be that the timing 
is a little delayed because he's

458
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,600
actually trying to get you to 
trust in him and not in what you

459
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,400
can see, not in what you can 
feel. 

460
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:01,300
Sometimes a pakka A miracle from
God, doesn't come on Friday, but

461
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:03,300
what are you gonna do with that 
moment until it comes? 

462
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:06,400
He's gonna freak out stress out.
Drink yourself out to get rid of

463
00:23:06,408 --> 00:23:10,000
the pain or you gonna trust him,
I'm here to tell you, it works, 

464
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:15,100
it works, keep it narrow good 
running after things, you need 

465
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,600
to run after your purpose. 
This is not a quit, your job 

466
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,400
sermon, but if what you're doing
right now, is not what God's 

467
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,700
called you. 
You need to quit. 

468
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:21,900
You say what? 
About a playing the greatest 

469
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,700
plan you can do is say God, I am
yours. 

470
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,300
See, this is the life of the 
adventure in the kingdom and we 

471
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:28,700
read about And movies really 
all? 

472
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:30,700
That's so awesome. 
But here we have an opportunity.

473
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,700
I'm not saying be full as I'm 
saying, step out on a word from 

474
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:36,900
God. 
When is it? 

475
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:38,900
The perfect time. 
Now is the right time to follow 

476
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:41,100
God. 
Now is the right time to seek 

477
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:44,100
God. 
Why are young while you're 

478
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:45,600
healthy? 
Why you got your strength? 

479
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,000
And could it be that God is 
trying to set you up some things

480
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:49,900
for? 
Now that will actually be a 

481
00:23:49,900 --> 00:23:55,400
setup for later? 
Just throwing that out there. 

482
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,000
When you start seeking first, 
the kingdom of God, you will 

483
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,900
never worry about bills again. 
It is the greatest plan. 

484
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,300
There is our president can't 
come up with this, definitely 

485
00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:10,200
not. 
Argh of no, no matter if you 

486
00:24:10,208 --> 00:24:14,200
have the wisest not wise, and 
what all these plans of men are 

487
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,900
not better than the Kingdom's 
plan because in the world to try

488
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:19,800
to go after this and go up. 
And how many people I graduated 

489
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,800
Bible school with grew up in 
church, all my life and I see 

490
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,300
everyone just running after 
things and not running after the

491
00:24:24,300 --> 00:24:26,100
purpose and they wonder why 
they're not fulfilled. 

492
00:24:30,500 --> 00:24:31,800
It's the answer to your 
depression. 

493
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,200
Says God is the answer to your 
anxiety? 

494
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,800
It's answer to your frustration,
it's the answer to everything. 

495
00:24:38,900 --> 00:24:40,600
The root of everything is you're
not seeking him first. 

496
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,600
And if you would seek him first,
he said everything you need will

497
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,300
be added I don't know about you 
but I still believe that verse 

498
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:50,800
works. 
I remember back in 2009, when 

499
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,000
Pastor Earle started and maybe 
anybody there, my 2009 folk back

500
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,500
in 312 or yeah over here. 
Now, it's a really weird store. 

501
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:06,400
But I remember him preaching the
revelation of the Kingdom 

502
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,200
specifically, in Matthew 6:33 
and I was working a job outside 

503
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,300
the church. 
At this time, I'm not going to 

504
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:11,700
go deep into the story, you 
know? 

505
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:13,500
But I think it's important to 
bring it up. 

506
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:15,200
Is I remember? 
I was sitting, I was like, I was

507
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,300
setting on fire seriously 
because he was talking about 

508
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:19,600
seeking first, the kingdom of 
God. 

509
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,500
And I've heard that verse on my 
life, probably like you have. 

510
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:23,200
But when he started bring that 
Revelation, that if he would 

511
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,800
seek first, the kingdom of God, 
if he would put his plans, his 

512
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,300
wheels, his desires, his 
intentions, his church, his 

513
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:30,500
everything above everything of 
your life, if you would do that 

514
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,700
and maintain righteousness with 
him and run, After your purpose,

515
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:34,800
everything you need in life will
be added to you and I was like, 

516
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,100
oh my gosh, I'm seeing it. 
It was like the lights were 

517
00:25:37,108 --> 00:25:39,500
going off and I was sitting the 
night physically could not keep 

518
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:40,800
steel because I was in 
repenting. 

519
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,200
I was convicting because I knew 
I was called to work for the 

520
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,500
ministry full time, but I was 
working an outside job and I was

521
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:47,900
struggling because I wanted to 
quit, but I was trying to figure

522
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:50,700
it out financially, how to do it
because it wasn't like past year

523
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:52,500
olds like saying here, there's 
just big paycheck waiting for 

524
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:53,900
you. 
Just quit, that didn't happen. 

525
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,800
And I'm thankful he didn't leave
me that way. 

526
00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:59,800
You see was leading me to trust 
in the Kingdom. 

527
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,500
Not in man's plan. 
And I was sitting there, I'm 

528
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:06,400
going to sit, can I just say I'm
going to some but then I'm sad. 

529
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,100
I was sitting, I was like, on 
fire and I was like sitting 

530
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:09,700
there like this and I'm a 
setting like this. 

531
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:11,900
And remember I wanted to alter 
gonna wind up on the piano and I

532
00:26:11,908 --> 00:26:13,100
couldn't even really physically 
play. 

533
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:15,500
I was just Weeping at the piano 
because I realized, oh my gosh, 

534
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:18,800
I'm sorry, Lord, forgive me. 
I've been trying to make it work

535
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,900
and I and you be good because 
God have been dealing with me to

536
00:26:20,908 --> 00:26:24,500
quit my job. 
I was working a very corporate 

537
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,400
cushy job making great money. 
You know, got a company car and 

538
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,900
I was a manager, but it wasn't. 
What I was called to do. 

539
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,300
It was great for a season, but 
God was trying to get me out of 

540
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:34,400
that. 
He's saying, get out, man. 

541
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,900
You got, you got things to do, 
and this companies trying to tie

542
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:39,100
up your time. 
They're trying to push you up 

543
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:41,400
the ladder and you got and the 
eight others are struggling 

544
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,400
with. 
Well, God, I want to work 

545
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,500
because I know, but I knew in my
spirit, I had to quit, but I 

546
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:48,600
wanted to see it work out. 
I wanted to see an angel say 

547
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:52,200
thou shalt us quit and have them
money rain down and you know I'm

548
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,800
saying, we try to make it all 
spiritual. but sometimes it's 

549
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:02,400
just a I got to do this, right? 
And I just bought a house 

550
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,300
because you know, and God was 
setting things up, you know, 

551
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:06,600
because when you work for a 
great company and you have great

552
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,700
income and you have great 
history and they and you can get

553
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:10,800
her mortgage and all this fun 
stuff, right? 

554
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:14,200
And then, you know, I got a job 
in a month later, God's dealing 

555
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,000
me to quit, I'm thinking get 
behind me. 

556
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Satan, you know, don't, you 
know, I've got a wife. 

557
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:24,000
And all these things right? 
And remember going to pasture 

558
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,400
and I was really hoping to get 
some great deep Council and it's

559
00:27:26,408 --> 00:27:29,300
a pasture feel like I need to 
quit man arts and I was hoping 

560
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,200
he would like he's like okay do 
it. 

561
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,800
And I was like that's not what I
wanted to hear. 

562
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,300
I want you to like listen, you 
know, I mean but that's all I 

563
00:27:36,308 --> 00:27:39,400
needed. 
Another he's saying just do what

564
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:46,100
you already know you need to do.
So that next week I quit, I had 

565
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,700
no plan B, I had no job 
opportunity to church. 

566
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:52,000
I just knew that season was done
and God wanted me to be here, 

567
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,200
full time doing something. 
And there was no money, 

568
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,700
underneath the table rating for 
me. 

569
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,700
Remember that same week I went 
up. 

570
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:00,300
I was like I'll just going to 
set groceries. 

571
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:05,600
We looked on 16 and we just 
bought our house around like a 

572
00:28:05,608 --> 00:28:07,000
mortgage, you know, all this 
stuff. 

573
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,100
You're thinking all these things
that we try to. 

574
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,100
This is real-life stuff, right? 
Couldn't tell my parents about, 

575
00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:16,100
it could be like what I mean now
you know but in the moment 

576
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:17,700
sometimes you got to keep your 
things to yourself. 

577
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:21,400
I just say that. 
It's about a listen to them. 

578
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,500
I might not have. 
I mean, they want the best for 

579
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:26,200
me but you know, there's that 
motherly thing. 

580
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,200
So I quit that same week, I went
and applied for Public's, I was 

581
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,900
like, I'm gonna be a bagger, I 
got the job. 

582
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,700
Yeah, I got how many qualified 
in all seriousness. 

583
00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:41,400
I think it was me and, like, a 
16 year old kid. 

584
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,000
You know, I'm like, hey, how you
doing? 

585
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,600
You know, and he's like, what 
just I'm like, what? 

586
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:48,700
I got? 
The job I'm going home. 

587
00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:50,400
I was like, babe. 
I got a job in a me, like I 

588
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,900
said, what are you doing? 
I got back in my car, went back 

589
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:55,000
and quit the same day. 
I got hurt. 

590
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,300
True story. 
I was like listen I'm sorry it's

591
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:02,200
not working out, you know I just
it's not going to work out, you 

592
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:09,200
know I just he's I seriously he 
was like You know, this is I 

593
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,100
just gave it a long time. 
It's been 30 minutes but it's 

594
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,300
just not going to work out. 
I wouldn't quit, I quit the same

595
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,900
day, I got hired. 
And I remember I was really 

596
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:17,600
depressed. 
Mentally, not depressed. 

597
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,200
Just joking. 
I was, you know, trying to 

598
00:29:19,208 --> 00:29:22,200
figure out my mind and I was 
sitting at Arby's with my best 

599
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,300
friend, Mark Brady. 
We said in her, is probably the 

600
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:28,700
last of the Army's thing. 
God but I was just like I was 

601
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:32,500
unemployed but I was just like, 
you know, it's like Big deal. 

602
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:36,500
I remember Pastor roll call me. 
He said, hey, I just want you to

603
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:39,400
know something came through, we 
can bring it on full time. 

604
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:42,600
There was no conversation before
that. 

605
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:45,200
Now I'm not telling you, this is
how it's going to work for you, 

606
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,800
but all I'm saying, is that if 
he would seek first, the kingdom

607
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,600
of God, God will move things. 
Heaven and Earth to get to you 

608
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,400
when you need it. 
I remember for That season my 

609
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,800
wife and I we are believing God 
to pay our mortgage because, you

610
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,300
know, it wasn't there and it got
tight, you know? 

611
00:29:59,308 --> 00:30:01,500
Because when you get a mortgage 
making this and then you go to 

612
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:06,500
making this, you know, when you 
get when you open it, that, you 

613
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:08,900
know, I wish you'd go like five 
more feet down when you start 

614
00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:13,200
making that. 
And the in the phone calls are 

615
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,700
coming in, mr. 
Kleiner, the letter start coming

616
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:18,700
in that are color-coded. 
Anybody been there before? 

617
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,300
But here's the thing, I was 
absolutely in the will of God 

618
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:26,500
for my life. 
I'm so thankful for those 

619
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:28,600
moments. 
I'm so thankful for those 

620
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,600
moments of laying at the piano 
and just worshipping with my 

621
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,100
wife and saying, gosh, you're 
gonna have to figure this out 

622
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,900
because they're saying, we're 
going to get foreclosed on, but 

623
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:42,900
you told me to be here. 
Right, I had gone many walks and

624
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:48,500
I'm telling you, I was there and
there were times that we would 

625
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:50,300
look for the mailbox. 
He made been there before he 

626
00:30:50,300 --> 00:30:51,500
thinking, could check the 
mailbox. 

627
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,000
I mean, we got a check one time 
from a family member who I have 

628
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,700
barely any relationship with 
They knew nothing about our 

629
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:00,300
situation. 
I talked with the maybe one time

630
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:04,300
of year they never even been 
here, but we're believing God to

631
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:08,800
pay our bills because we're 
trying to follow a call. 

632
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:13,800
A check in the mail for like 
four or five hundred dollars and

633
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,800
they said we just had extra this
year and just felt like giving 

634
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,300
it to you, there was not an 
accident. 

635
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:21,100
That was a God and it was 
amazing. 

636
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:25,000
The in that season checks begin 
to show up when we needed a 

637
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,400
house. 
A check came, when my wife got 

638
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,800
pregnant, you know, which was a 
good thing. 

639
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:35,000
And I was a part of that that I 
didn't feel that I was very much

640
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:36,400
there. 
All right. 

641
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,100
Let's pray, father, we thinking 
I was kidding. 

642
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:49,100
I don't know why I said that, 
but I remember we needed a car 

643
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:51,000
because I had a company car. 
You know, I really, you know, 

644
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,700
nice company car and I had to 
sell it, you know, added, you 

645
00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:56,200
know, become Carlos. 
And I because I sold my car when

646
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,900
I work for the company cuz you 
got a nice company car every day

647
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:00,500
is great. 
But, you know, I've got pregnant

648
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:04,800
and were like, we need a car. 
Checks came in had no idea where

649
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,000
that no no conversation. 
A check came in said I just felt

650
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,300
led to so towards this car and 
then we realize we got pregnant.

651
00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:18,700
Again I was there too and We 
needed a bigger car. 

652
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,800
And another family member 
outside of the conversation 

653
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,400
said, I just feel like I'm 
supposed to give you this. 

654
00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:28,800
We saw I mean once I could even 
pay my FPL bill and I don't say 

655
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,000
this to be in, but I'm saying I 
was absolutely the will of God 

656
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,100
for my life and God was teaching
me. 

657
00:32:32,108 --> 00:32:35,300
Not to be broke but the trust in
him and so many times we trust 

658
00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:38,500
in our American society and we 
trust in the paychecks of man 

659
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:40,100
and we trust in the routines of 
man. 

660
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,000
But we are not of this world and
Jesus would do crazy stuff. 

661
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,900
Like send his disciples fishing 
to get money. 

662
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:48,600
Jesus would do things. 
So you can't fit guys planning 

663
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,400
to your ideas and you just got 
to trust him because it really 

664
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,600
works and I remember calling fpo
because I needed to pay a bill 

665
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,500
and you know how hard it is. 
I even pay a bill when you got 

666
00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:58,100
money, right? 
Calling them, you know, I'm 

667
00:32:58,100 --> 00:32:59,400
sorry, you know, it's just 
difficult. 

668
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,600
Who am I talking to? 
And I called them. 

669
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,300
And finally got through to a 
real person, which was a 

670
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:05,700
miracle, it's a mr. 
Connery bills been paid. 

671
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:06,700
I'm like, what do you tell my 
bills in big? 

672
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:09,400
Like it's been paid him. 
Like I said, I don't know what's

673
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,700
a typo but we'll take it. 
But the point is, is that 

674
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:15,100
somebody came to pay my bill. 
Nobody knew these things. 

675
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,800
I'm here to tell you that he 
would seek first. 

676
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,900
The kingdom of God, if you and 
we've been running after our 

677
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:22,200
purpose, we're not here because 
we want to be when we want to 

678
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,300
be. 
But we're not here because of 

679
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,800
we're here because this is what 
the Lord has assigned us. 

680
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,300
And that means I have no, right,
because I've entered the gate 

681
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:30,300
sale or not as I will, but your 
will be done. 

682
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,000
I don't have a choice to go to 
this church. 

683
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:33,100
I don't have a choice to go 
work. 

684
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:34,700
This shop has opportunities 
come? 

685
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:37,100
Yes, they come, they come. 
But I have to say, Lord, what do

686
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:39,500
you want me to do? 
Because the greatest thing I 

687
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,200
could give my family is my 
purpose. 

688
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:43,800
Anything I can bring home. 
It's not a comfortable. 

689
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,100
Paycheck is a man who was 
following God. 

690
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:51,800
And I'm here to tell you man. 
Nothing will satisfy you until 

691
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,200
you find your purpose. 
We were making nothing but was 

692
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,400
the most exciting fulfilling 
time in my life. 

693
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,100
And I was learning to trust in 
an unseen Kingdom, to learn to 

694
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:06,300
really trust that This Thing 
Really Works. 

695
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,100
He really will provide when we 
need it. 

696
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,500
That, that food will literally 
show up on our doorstep and you 

697
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:14,300
got to let your pride down 
because your mind was something 

698
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:15,800
moon. 
But man, I should provide the 

699
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,199
greatest Amalia thing you could 
do is let the king provide for 

700
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:20,400
you. 
This is not mean you're weak. 

701
00:34:23,300 --> 00:34:26,100
I mean, we grew up reading the 
stuff of how ministers would go 

702
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,300
out and miracles and all these 
things would come to their 

703
00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:30,400
doorstep. 
And why are we living like this?

704
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:36,800
I mean, Paul would do some crazy
things and he was absolutely in 

705
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:42,300
the will of God for his life. 
Whoo, Matthew 1017. 

706
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:43,500
Are you there? 
You're not there because I've 

707
00:34:43,507 --> 00:34:44,400
been told you. 
But go there. 

708
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:46,600
Matthew, 10, 17. 
Can I get a water? 

709
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,400
Thank you. 
Sorry. 

710
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,900
I'm going to preach my guts out 
to you because I truly believe 

711
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:55,199
in this message. 
I truly believe in the 

712
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,800
Revelation that our pastors have
laid in this church. 

713
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:00,400
I truly believe in the Kingdom 
message, not in the message of 

714
00:35:00,408 --> 00:35:02,400
Christianity. 
But if you would seek first, the

715
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,700
kingdom with your life, if you 
would put it first above 

716
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:08,000
everything else, everything else
would fall in line? 

717
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,200
You can keep it narrow. 
Come on, sing. 

718
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,800
Keep an arrow. 
Matthew Mark 10:17 says this. 

719
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,700
Now, as he, Jesus is Jesus, now,
as Jesus is so good, mom say say

720
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:21,000
this is good. 
Don't get quiet on me now. 

721
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,300
Don't get quiet on me. 
Okay, now as he Jesus was going 

722
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,900
out on the road, one came to him
running knelt before him and 

723
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:31,600
asked, good teacher, what shall 
I do to inherit eternal life? 

724
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,900
So Jesus said to him, why do you
call me good? 

725
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:37,900
No one is good. 
But the one who is God, you 

726
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:40,300
know, the Commandments do not 
commit adultery do not murder. 

727
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:42,500
Do not steal. 
Do not bear false, witness do 

728
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:45,500
not A fraud, but honor your 
father and your mother and he 

729
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:48,400
answered and said unto him 
teacher, all of these things, I 

730
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,500
have kept from my youth and 
other words, he realize he's 

731
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:54,000
still missing something. 
She could religion is what you 

732
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,200
do until you find the kingdom as
Myles. 

733
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,900
Munroe said, religion will 
preoccupy you until you find the

734
00:35:58,908 --> 00:36:00,400
kingdom. 
Here's this Rich Young Ruler 

735
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,000
done everything from a youth. 
He's got all the things he looks

736
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,200
church, he sounds church. 
He you know has all the church 

737
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,000
he stuff down but yet he still 
empty. 

738
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,100
Then Jesus looking at him, loved
him. 

739
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Him said to him, okay, one thing
you lack Go your way, sell 

740
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,300
whatever you have, give it to 
the poor and you will have 

741
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:26,800
Treasures in Heaven. 
Come take up the cross and 

742
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,000
follow me verse 22 but he was 
sad at this word and went away 

743
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,200
sorrowful for. 
He had great possessions. 

744
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,000
Oh my gosh. 
This is literally one of the 

745
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,800
most saddest scriptures in the 
Bible. 

746
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,000
Did Jesus want. 
His money was Jesus, was he 

747
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,900
wanted him to be? 
Poor was God, wanted him just to

748
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:46,600
be some destitute man. 
Who just lives under bridges and

749
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,000
is barely getting by No, Jesus 
was looking for his heart, Jesus

750
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,200
was looking for his trust. 
Jesus was looking for his 

751
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:59,700
lordship. 
Jesus was wanting this young man

752
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:02,700
to put his trust in his words 
and not in his ability. 

753
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,200
I must say that again. 
Jesus was wanting this young man

754
00:37:05,300 --> 00:37:07,600
to put his trust in. 
His words are not in his own 

755
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,500
ability, and Jesus was wanting 
this young man to put his 

756
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:12,900
identity in him not in his 
resources. 

757
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,300
See this young man had it all 
figured out and some of y'all 

758
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,000
have it all figured out you guys
giving you a way to get wealth 

759
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,500
in your gifted. 
But the wealth is not just for 

760
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:20,900
you. 
And your family is for the 

761
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:23,800
kingdom and God has gifted you 
for the kingdom. 

762
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,700
And you gotta ask God and here's
Jesus and he's at the gate This 

763
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:31,900
is what I could have this young 
man become talk to me. 

764
00:37:31,900 --> 00:37:33,200
What else could have this young 
man? 

765
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,600
Become we don't hear anything 
else about this guy. 

766
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:40,500
What stories could have been 
written about this Rich? 

767
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:43,600
Young Ruler? 
What books could have been 

768
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,200
written about him? 
What Ministries could have been 

769
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,800
started? 
What could he have done? 

770
00:37:46,900 --> 00:37:48,200
And here's Jesus. 
Listen. 

771
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:51,300
Jesus man, this young man was 
stuck at the gate. 

772
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:52,800
And Jesus is over here saying, 
come on. 

773
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:55,400
If you want life, you've done it
off with this one thing come and

774
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,100
follow me. 
And this young man is stuck at 

775
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:58,600
the gate and he's trying to get 
through. 

776
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:01,900
But all his stuff is stopping 
him and Jesus is saying that 

777
00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:04,500
come on, come on. 
I got purpose for you. 

778
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,300
I got destiny for you. 
I've got true riches for you. 

779
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:10,300
Come follow me let me show you 
something and he's like, Jesus, 

780
00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:12,200
I'm trying and he's trying to 
get through the gate. 

781
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,100
His resources, his ability, his 
trust in all that. 

782
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:21,900
He's done is stopping him and 
Jesus is asking the same thing 

783
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,000
today. 
He says, will you come through 

784
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,400
the gate? 
Will you let me really make you 

785
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,600
something great? 
Will you die at the gate and 

786
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,500
said, Lord not as I will, but 
your will be done. 

787
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:37,800
I put all my aspirations and 
dreams on the Altar and I say, 

788
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,000
God not make me something new, 
but I want to be brand new. 

789
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,400
I can't bring my things in the 
kingdom, is that God bless my 

790
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,300
stuff. 
No. 

791
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:47,500
Like I said before some of you 
are asking God to bless your 

792
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:49,800
life but you gotta ask him to be
your life. 

793
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,000
It's two different things. 
It's two different things. 

794
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,400
I don't bring the kingdom with 
me, or my things with the 

795
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,600
kingdom. 
I lay him at the gate and here's

796
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:05,400
this Rich Young Ruler You never 
hear anything else about him and

797
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:12,200
he was successful. 
But notice he did nothing. is 

798
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,000
God speaking this morning, Come 
on. 

799
00:39:16,008 --> 00:39:20,500
Say keep it narrow. 
Jesus wasn't one of his money. 

800
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,500
Jesus wanted his heart. 
He realize, okay. 

801
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:25,100
I see what you do, but you put 
your trust in what you can 

802
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:27,900
figure out trust in the Lord 
with all your heart and lean not

803
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:30,000
on your own understanding. 
In all your ways acknowledge me 

804
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,400
and I will direct your paths. 
Do we still believe that that 

805
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,800
verse works? 
And how many of us are stuck at 

806
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,400
the gate stuck at the gate and 
Jesus says, I have purpose for 

807
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,700
you, I have dreams for you. 
I've got books for you, I've got

808
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:44,100
Ministries for you. 
I've got things for you to do 

809
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,400
places for you to go. 
If you would just let go of 

810
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,900
everything is comfortable in 
your life. 

811
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,100
Burn the ships. 
Do we still believe that it 

812
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:57,100
works? 
This is still the gospel, we 

813
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,400
make it so soft in America that 
you can just do what you want to

814
00:39:59,408 --> 00:40:01,000
follow. 
God, that is not the Bible. 

815
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,500
We read God will allow you to do
what you want, but you all every

816
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,600
one of us including myself. 
We're going to stand in front of

817
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,000
God, one day, and he's gonna 
wanna know. 

818
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,600
One thing is, did you seek my 
kingdom? 

819
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,300
But God, I did all this guy 
says, did you seek my kingdom 

820
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:15,600
will Lord. 
You know, I did this ministry. 

821
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,600
Did you do what I ask you to do 
or did you want me to bless your

822
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:24,900
plan? 
The end of the story is so crazy

823
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:26,900
because I'm Mark chapter 10. 
If we keep going the end of it 

824
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:30,200
after this big like left him at 
the gate scene, then Jesus 

825
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,100
looked around verse 23. 
Then Jesus looked around to his 

826
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:36,000
disciples and he said, how hard 
is it for those who have riches 

827
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,700
to enter the kingdom of God? 
Verse 24, and the disciples were

828
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:42,100
astonished at his words, but 
Jesus answered again, and said, 

829
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,600
unto him children, what'd he 
say? 

830
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,800
He said children. 
How hard is it for those who? 

831
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,400
What trust in the riches to 
enter the kingdom of God? 

832
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:55,800
Do you trust him or not? 
Do we believe that this thing 

833
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,700
works, either listening either 
works or it doesn't. 

834
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,200
This Thing Really Works or 
really doesn't. 

835
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,900
And if this Bible won't do what 
Jesus said it would do then I 

836
00:41:06,908 --> 00:41:09,000
want no part of it. 
See, I'm out. 

837
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:12,300
But I'm here to tell you it 
works. 

838
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:15,500
But it says Those Who trust, God
is not concerned with your 

839
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:17,300
finances. 
God, just wants to have your 

840
00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:20,200
finances, this is not a money 
sermon, give all your money that

841
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,800
you're not. 
You be led by the spirit of God,

842
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,400
but and all the things that you 
acquire you guys must remember, 

843
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,300
God, these are not mine. 
These are yours. 

844
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:28,700
And only reason, my have them is
For Your Glory and for your 

845
00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:37,000
purpose and for your whatever. 
Mark 12:30, we're just letting 

846
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,100
the word speak. 
Come on, say, let us speak. 

847
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,200
We doing, okay. 
My born, you. 

848
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,300
So helping you. 
I know that says you're loaded 

849
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:47,900
question, what do you say? 
No. 

850
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:54,200
Stupid. but I don't care if you 
remember my words because his 

851
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:59,200
words were truly change, you 
Hmm, following God is the 

852
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,600
greatest thing you can ever do 
in your life. 

853
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,200
It's not a no. 
You go to follow gun, you got to

854
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,300
get you give up everything, but 
you actually gain everything 

855
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,800
because I'm so thankful. 
I look back at what I wanted to 

856
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,300
do and I look back at their 
friends that Iran will come on. 

857
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:12,700
Talk to me the plans that I had 
for myself, the things that I 

858
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:14,600
thought was success, I look back
at announcing. 

859
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,000
Thank God that I did not run 
that route. 

860
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:19,500
I'll go back to my high school 
reunions, thank God we cut ties 

861
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:22,500
years ago because you've been 
doing the same thing for 30 

862
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:25,100
years and you're running in the 
same problems. 

863
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:28,000
But if you would just seek 
first, the kingdom, Oh, man, I'm

864
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,500
he'll take you on a hold. 
That's why he's not just trying 

865
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:33,700
to, you know, fix you and make 
you better know if you die to 

866
00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:35,500
yourself. 
He will give you a whole new 

867
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:37,800
life and you will look back at 
your old life. 

868
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,500
If your old career, you be like,
oh my God, thank you. 

869
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:42,500
Lord, for getting me out of 
that. 

870
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:51,800
Telling you, I'm telling you. 
Mark 12:30 great Versa. 

871
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,600
We grew up he says and you shall
love the Lord, your God with all

872
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,600
of your heart, come on with all 
of your soul and with all of 

873
00:42:57,608 --> 00:43:00,800
your mind and all of your what 
strength, I'm here to ask you, 

874
00:43:00,808 --> 00:43:04,900
what are you giving your 
strengths to, what are you 

875
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:07,900
giving you energy to, what are 
you giving your passion to, what

876
00:43:07,900 --> 00:43:10,200
are you giving your gifts to 
what are you giving the mind 

877
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,900
that God has given you to is it 
for his kingdom or is it for 

878
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:15,100
you? 
Love the Lord, your God with all

879
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:16,800
your heart, with all your soul, 
with all your mind. 

880
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,000
And with all your strength, what
are you giving your strength? 

881
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:21,700
As do we see, so many people 
that are giving their strength 

882
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:24,700
not to the kingdom of God, and 
we wonder why things aren't 

883
00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:27,900
working out. 
The reason you are gifted as for

884
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,000
the kingdom of God, the reason 
you can bring in finances. 

885
00:43:30,100 --> 00:43:32,300
It's for the kingdom of God. 
The reason you are good with 

886
00:43:32,300 --> 00:43:34,300
people, it's for the kingdom of 
God, is more worship. 

887
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:37,000
People realize the reason you're
gifted, it's for the kingdom of 

888
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,100
God. 
The reason you could speak is 

889
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:40,900
for the kingdom of God. 
The reason you could teach this 

890
00:43:40,900 --> 00:43:43,800
for the kingdom of God, you're 
gifted for the kingdom. 

891
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:50,900
Whew, and here's the thing. 
Listen, we gotta wake up, we 

892
00:43:50,900 --> 00:43:52,200
gotta wake up. 
What are you giving your 

893
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,900
strength to? 
Because last time I checked, you

894
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:57,000
ain't guaranteed tomorrow. 
We Don't Preach like this 

895
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,400
anymore, this church does, but 
remember like what if he comes 

896
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,200
tomorrow? 
I'm not her Turner burn. 

897
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,000
Pretty better get it right. 
Brother guy's gonna kill you 

898
00:44:03,008 --> 00:44:05,600
again, we're not talking like 
that, what if you die when you 

899
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,200
get out here? 
You know that might not happen. 

900
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:10,400
But the truth is the Bible just 
said that we should be prepared 

901
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,100
what if he does come as a thief 
in the night what if he does 

902
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:15,200
come tomorrow? 
What he want to find you seeking

903
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,100
the kingdom over, he find you 
busy with Affairs of your life. 

904
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:21,700
What are you giving your 
straight to your not promised 

905
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:24,200
tomorrow? 
We're not here to scare you but 

906
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,200
here to help you, I'm not 
promised tomorrow. 

907
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,800
What I'm promises today. 
And could it be that? 

908
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,400
God is literally trying to set 
you up for later in life? 

909
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,500
That's why you got to see God. 
Now, I'm not saying he can't get

910
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:37,500
things right later in your life.
He's a good father, he has Mercy

911
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,000
that can do that. 
But I'm a fool. 

912
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,900
I fully convinced that if we 
miss God, he miss Scott and you 

913
00:44:41,908 --> 00:44:43,400
miss out on things he can 
reroute. 

914
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,000
You, my father, got boom, my 
father-in-law, or my 

915
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,600
grandfather, got born again on 
his deathbed and he was like 90 

916
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,500
years old. 
Thank God, but that was not 

917
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:54,500
God's best for his life. 
He missed out on a whole life. 

918
00:44:55,700 --> 00:45:00,900
And God can reroute you. 
But you will miss. 

919
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:05,400
Because if we don't then we can 
got her got to work it out God 

920
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,100
or then you can do whatever you 
want. 

921
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,300
But if we don't start speaking 
now you might miss what God 

922
00:45:10,300 --> 00:45:11,800
needs you to do now. 
So that when you get older, I'll

923
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:17,300
set you up. 
I'm not trying to be like death 

924
00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:21,000
and doom and gloom but your body
might not be the same body, 80 

925
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,800
years old and you're not going 
to be run how you could run at 

926
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,900
80 when you're 40. 
I mean that's just how things 

927
00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:29,000
work and it could, there be that
God is wanting you to get 

928
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,100
involved with things. 
Now that could be a set up for 

929
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:37,200
later. 
Come on. 

930
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,600
Talk to me. 
That's why the gate is narrow. 

931
00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:42,500
He's everyone has their agendas 
their plans, their desires, what

932
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:44,300
they want to do, what they 
because what would you want to 

933
00:45:44,308 --> 00:45:45,300
do? 
Ain't gonna matter unless is 

934
00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:48,000
what God wants to do. 
Because you can bring all that 

935
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
to the gate and guys like what 
else you got? 

936
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,000
Well, God, I did this. 
He's like, what else you got? 

937
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,000
But God, I did all this for you.
I did this and I made this and I

938
00:45:56,008 --> 00:45:58,300
did that guys. 
Like I never asked, you do any 

939
00:45:58,300 --> 00:46:02,500
of that? 
This should convict this all can

940
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:04,800
fix me. 
We got to keep an arrow. 

941
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,300
He said he would put two things 
above everything else above your

942
00:46:07,300 --> 00:46:08,400
family. 
Because here's the thing. 

943
00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:10,300
If I would seek first, the 
kingdom of God, and his 

944
00:46:10,300 --> 00:46:12,100
righteousness, he will teach me 
how to lead my family. 

945
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,400
He'll teach you how to handle 
all the Affairs of life if you 

946
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,600
let him. 
I love my wife and I love my 

947
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,200
kids but I love my king more and
if I love him or he'll teach me 

948
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,300
how to love them, you know, it's
how it works. 

949
00:46:27,300 --> 00:46:29,500
It falls in line. 
When we put everything else 

950
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:31,700
before King, then things get out
of order. 

951
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:33,300
You wonder why you're 
frustrated, you wonder why 

952
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:35,400
things are getting messed up, 
because it's out of order. 

953
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,500
First is first. 
It's first, hmm. 

954
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:49,900
So you gotta not a self, right? 
Man, what all could this young 

955
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:51,800
man? 
Become do we trust him or not? 

956
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:54,700
Do we trust him or not? 
Do we trust him or not? 

957
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,600
Keep it narrow Myles. 
Munroe said this. 

958
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,600
The greatest tragedy in life is 
not death, but life without a 

959
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,600
purpose. 
Remember I'm pastor about these 

960
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,100
words and 312 million cheese. 
The greatest tragedy in life is 

961
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:08,400
not death, but life without a 
purpose, to get his challenge in

962
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,200
life is knowing what to do. 
The greatest mistake in life is 

963
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,800
being busy, not effective. 
And the greatest failure in life

964
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:19,400
is being successful in the wrong
assignment. 

965
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:21,400
You're saying you can be 
successful outside of God. 

966
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,100
Yeah. 
The Bible says, what good? 

967
00:47:23,100 --> 00:47:24,800
Is it a man to gain the whole 
world? 

968
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,100
Yet forfeit his soul. 
They were but Jesus made it very

969
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:30,900
clear he said, but apart from 
me, you can do nothing. 

970
00:47:31,100 --> 00:47:34,000
So there is Success, you can 
start businesses, you can get 

971
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,700
famous, you can get discovered, 
you can do all these things and 

972
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:39,700
the world's eyes have it going 
on, but that's why he said. 

973
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:41,500
Apart from me, you can do 
nothing because the king looks 

974
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:43,500
at it. 
As It's nothing. 

975
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,100
Because when you stand in front 
of God, one day, only thing is 

976
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:47,300
he's going to go. 
He's the only thing that's going

977
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,100
to matters. 
Did you do what I asked you to 

978
00:47:49,100 --> 00:47:53,500
do? 
That's it, that's it. 

979
00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:55,800
Did you do what? 
I asked you to do? 

980
00:47:57,900 --> 00:48:02,400
Success comes by following the 
purpose that God has for your 

981
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,900
life. 
Your family might not understand

982
00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:06,500
it, but you're not going to 
stand in front of them at the 

983
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:10,700
throne. 
And if your friends don't need a

984
00:48:10,700 --> 00:48:13,200
four friends, understand it, 
hears the word from God, get new

985
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,600
friends, okay? 
So deep right. 

986
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,900
Get new friends. 
If your friends aren't pushing 

987
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:23,100
to your purpose to God, get rid 
of them. 

988
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,700
Matthew 10:39, a few more. 
Can we do a couple more and I 

989
00:48:30,708 --> 00:48:32,100
missed one? 
I miss something. 

990
00:48:32,700 --> 00:48:39,100
I had a word because I was, I 
was, I was I'm gonna back up 

991
00:48:39,108 --> 00:48:41,300
because I was studying and God 
gave me a word. 

992
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:42,900
You say God give you a word as 
your study. 

993
00:48:42,900 --> 00:48:46,200
Yeah, it says in Matthew 6:33. 
It says he forcing him to God 

994
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,500
for. 
He knows God wanted me to tell 

995
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:54,000
some people he knows. two words,
he knows he knows what you need,

996
00:48:55,300 --> 00:49:01,700
he knows how many times we 
forget that he knows He knows he

997
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:05,100
knows you need a house. 
He knows you need a job. 

998
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,500
He knows you need money. 
He knows you need all these 

999
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:10,200
things, we don't just pay our 
bills off, you don't cry 

1000
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:10,900
anymore. 
It's going to say, well I'm 

1001
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:13,000
believing God in the Kingdom, 
they need money. 

1002
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:20,800
He knows he knows, he knows how 
many times do we forget that and

1003
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,500
we try to work it out in our 
plan. 

1004
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:25,100
And we try to make it work on 
our agenda and our own skill, 

1005
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:27,700
because you can't, and you can 
make it work, and crunch the 

1006
00:49:27,708 --> 00:49:29,400
numbers and save and save. 
It's a look at God. 

1007
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:34,600
But is it, God, he knows. 
Send me money to be encouraged, 

1008
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,300
he knows. 
He knows what you need. 

1009
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:46,000
He knows. 
Hmm. 

1010
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,200
He knows. 
Who needed to hear that? 

1011
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,400
Raise your hand people. 
He knows keep your hand up. 

1012
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,600
I was writing my notes if it's 
not for you, I'm not trying to 

1013
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,800
get everyone. 
I just said, God will you know, 

1014
00:50:00,808 --> 00:50:04,200
when you start reading as soon 
as like boom highlight that he 

1015
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,300
knows, You're believing God for 
a house. 

1016
00:50:07,700 --> 00:50:10,400
He knows you believing God for a
spouse. 

1017
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,800
He knows you believe in God to 
get debt-free. 

1018
00:50:14,300 --> 00:50:17,000
He knows you believe in God for 
healing. 

1019
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:22,900
He knows. 
He knows those two words to set 

1020
00:50:22,900 --> 00:50:28,100
you free. 
He knows the king knows. 

1021
00:50:28,500 --> 00:50:32,000
He's like, I know about that. 
If you would just trust in the 

1022
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,900
Lord with all your heart, lean 
that quit trying to figure it 

1023
00:50:34,900 --> 00:50:36,900
out, quit trying to do my job. 
God, says, quit trying to be 

1024
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:38,000
God. 
You ain't God. 

1025
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,800
What you got to do? 
Is believe quit, trying to be 

1026
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,700
God. 
You're not God do your role. 

1027
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,900
Let God be God. 
We're trying to figure it out. 

1028
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:48,200
That's why it's called trust. 
Because if you could figure it 

1029
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,300
out, you wouldn't need. 
Him if you could figure it out, 

1030
00:50:51,300 --> 00:50:53,200
you wouldn't need him. 
But I don't know about you. 

1031
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,900
I need them. 
I need them. 

1032
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:57,100
And I want to live a life of 
constantly needing him. 

1033
00:50:57,100 --> 00:50:58,300
I want to come to the next 
season. 

1034
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:00,200
My God, I need you. 
God I need you. 

1035
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,700
This thing. 
Don't work out, man. 

1036
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:04,100
It's all over. 
I need keep me constantly 

1037
00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:07,400
needing you God. 
Can we live like that? 

1038
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,200
Should we live like that? 
He knows that you need. 

1039
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,600
He knows you need a 
congregation. 

1040
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,800
He knows. 
You need a building. 

1041
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,000
He knows. 
You need favor. 

1042
00:51:14,100 --> 00:51:16,500
He knows. 
And how many times did we get 

1043
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:20,100
our eyes on the things? 
And God forgot know about that? 

1044
00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:23,000
The devil's, I'll let you do 
this when I found out about the 

1045
00:51:23,008 --> 00:51:24,100
devil. 
He comes to steal kill and 

1046
00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:25,600
destroy the devil's. 
Not just trying to take your 

1047
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:26,900
life, he's trying to take your 
day. 

1048
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,400
Say that again. 
He's not just trying to take 

1049
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,600
your life, he's trying to take 
her day, trying to get your mind

1050
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,900
focused on all the things. 
You should all the words and how

1051
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:39,800
we can do this and stressing 
yourself out. 

1052
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:45,100
And guys, like I know, let me be
God, you believe in God, to 

1053
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:49,000
start a business, he knows. 
Greg, he knows. 

1054
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,300
Where's Chris at realtor? 
Chris, where is he? 

1055
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,400
He's not here. 
He's a nautilus. 

1056
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:02,100
Someone tell him, God knows. 
Pastor Tim. 

1057
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,600
He knows Bridget you here. 
Good Lord. 

1058
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,400
That's okay. 
The servant. 

1059
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:14,300
God knows. 
God knows he knows. 

1060
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:18,300
You might not know, but he knows
and you don't got to worry about

1061
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:21,600
where it comes from. 
You don't got to worry, it'll 

1062
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,100
find its way to you. 
If you stay in faith it'll find 

1063
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:28,200
it won't get lost in the mail. 
It'll come at the right time, 

1064
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,800
it'll come at the right late in 
the Midnight Hour, God's going 

1065
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,000
to turn this thing around. 
I'm telling you when you are 

1066
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
stuck in prison, you feel like 
there's no way out. 

1067
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:40,000
God knows, Come on, talk to me. 
I said, God knows everything you

1068
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,500
need everything you need. 
He knows that's why I said just 

1069
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:47,100
trust me. 
He knows, I felt really 

1070
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:50,200
important to stop there because 
I didn't want to miss past what 

1071
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,100
God wanted to highlight. 
It says, in Mark chapter, 

1072
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:55,100
Matthew chapter 10, a few more 
verses were about to close. 

1073
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,400
Hallelujah. 
And he said, he who does not 

1074
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,200
take up his cross, or his 
purpose, which means says, you 

1075
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,400
know, Jesus who says, when you 
take up your cross, it does not 

1076
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,800
mean that you literally need to 
physically get across and rolled

1077
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,300
around America. 
Not knocking people to do that. 

1078
00:53:09,300 --> 00:53:10,700
If you feel like that's what 
you're calling, but that was not

1079
00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:12,400
the purpose. 
Jesus was trying to say he was 

1080
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,100
going to say if you would pick 
up your purpose, purpose, right?

1081
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,500
He said if you would, he does 
not take up his cross and follow

1082
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:21,400
me is not worthy of me and 
listen, here we go. 

1083
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,300
And he who finds his life will 
lose it but he who loses his 

1084
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:26,800
life for my sake, shall find 
life. 

1085
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:29,900
You can find yourself outside of
God but it ain't no life at all.

1086
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,600
Get lost in your purpose, get 
lost in the reason. 

1087
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,700
You're breathing the 
frustrations that keep you up at

1088
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:37,100
night, the stress. 
It's in your marriage, the 

1089
00:53:37,100 --> 00:53:39,100
stress that's in your life. 
It's all because you're seeking 

1090
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:41,000
after the wrong things. 
And God said, if you would get 

1091
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,400
busy about your purpose, busy 
about the reason you're 

1092
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,000
breathing because I don't know 
about you, but you're only 

1093
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,700
getting older. 
Not trying to scare you but I'm 

1094
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:51,200
trying to bring me out of your 
only getting older. 

1095
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,300
I just turned 40 last week. 
I'm like what? 

1096
00:53:54,300 --> 00:53:58,800
Now Ford is not open in my mind.
I feel like I'm 100 In 10 years,

1097
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,300
I'm going to be 50 on my God, 
but it's just, but that's just 

1098
00:54:02,300 --> 00:54:04,800
the enemy. 
Can I be honest with you? 

1099
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,600
Oh, that's just the enemy. 
Because he said, with long life,

1100
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,100
he will satisfy you. 
And I got a I want to be 100 

1101
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:12,200
years old. 
That's my goal. 

1102
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,200
I don't know about you. 
If you want to die early, go for

1103
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:14,800
it. 
But he don't. 

1104
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,600
He's you in heaven. 
He's he's, you want to Earth. 

1105
00:54:16,700 --> 00:54:18,400
That's why he needs. 
That's why I said, let your 

1106
00:54:18,408 --> 00:54:21,900
kingdom come your will be done 
on earth when you find out your 

1107
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:24,200
purpose. 
You can't die, man. 

1108
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,900
No, plane can take you down. 
No sickness can take you down. 

1109
00:54:26,900 --> 00:54:29,400
No generational curses can keep 
you out. 

1110
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,500
No bad words. 
No, no, whatever can keep you 

1111
00:54:32,500 --> 00:54:33,300
away. 
If you would just stay 

1112
00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:35,200
committed. 
Committed to your purpose, 

1113
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,900
everything will work itself out.
Doubt. 

1114
00:54:38,900 --> 00:54:43,300
Man it works, it works. 
He knows, come on, he know 

1115
00:54:43,300 --> 00:54:47,500
someone shouts a, he knows, he 
knows, he knows, it's so clear. 

1116
00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:53,100
Come on, say, keep it. 
Narrow few more verses were 

1117
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:54,800
about to close. 
You guys were just chill out for

1118
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,300
a minute. 
Okay, Matthew 7 verse 21. 

1119
00:54:57,300 --> 00:55:01,200
It says not everyone who says 
that, this is the scriptures 

1120
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,100
really deep, okay? 
It's really deep. 

1121
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,300
It's really deep. 
It says Not everyone who says to

1122
00:55:08,308 --> 00:55:10,300
me, Lord Lord shall enter the 
kingdom of heaven but he who 

1123
00:55:10,300 --> 00:55:12,800
does the what the will of his 
father? 

1124
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:16,300
Many will say to me in that day.
Lord Lord, have we not 

1125
00:55:16,300 --> 00:55:20,300
prophesied in your name? 
Have we sidenote pause? 

1126
00:55:20,300 --> 00:55:22,000
Hold on. 
He's talking to church people 

1127
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,500
here by the way. 
And by the way, when I'm saying 

1128
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:27,800
these words, please understand, 
it's like I'm sitting on the Pew

1129
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:31,300
pointing at myself because these
words convict me because this is

1130
00:55:31,300 --> 00:55:34,100
me, this is us, let's read it 
again. 

1131
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:36,000
He said not everyone who says to
me, Lord Lord shall enter the 

1132
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,400
kingdom of heaven. 
But he who, what who does he who

1133
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:42,600
does he? 
Who does the will of himself, 

1134
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,400
know he who finds his own life 
know, he who has his own plans? 

1135
00:55:46,500 --> 00:55:50,100
Nah, he says, he who does the 
will of my father, who is in 

1136
00:55:50,300 --> 00:55:52,300
heaven. 
And he says, here we go. 

1137
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:54,200
It says many, will say to me, in
that day. 

1138
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,800
Lord, Lord, have we not 
prophesied in your name, have we

1139
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,400
not cast out demons, in your 
name? 

1140
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,700
Have we not started businesses 
in your name, have we not 

1141
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:03,200
started churches, in your name. 
Have we done, good things in 

1142
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,400
your name, having written songs 
in your name. 

1143
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,800
Haven't we done a mission trips 
in your name and he said depart 

1144
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:13,800
from me. 
I never even knew you Not trying

1145
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,500
to be scary this morning, but 
I'm trying to help convince you.

1146
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,100
That means you can follow God 
and do the things of God and God

1147
00:56:19,100 --> 00:56:24,500
not even know who you are. 
Because they knew about him. 

1148
00:56:24,500 --> 00:56:26,600
You could know a lot about God 
and not know him. 

1149
00:56:27,300 --> 00:56:29,800
Those are two different things 
we can grow all these people. 

1150
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,500
All I know about this guy, 
baseball stats, you know, this 

1151
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:33,300
guy and you can know everything 
about the Florida Gators. 

1152
00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:35,300
You can know everything about 
all these people and stats and, 

1153
00:56:35,300 --> 00:56:37,000
you know, you can quote 
scriptures and know, everything 

1154
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,800
about God, but not truly know 
him. 

1155
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,100
There's a difference. 
When, you know him you'll set it

1156
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:44,500
as feet and say, father, talk to
me, father, I spend time with 

1157
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:46,800
you father, help me, direct my 
steps. 

1158
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,400
Show me what to do, man, this 
person said this, I want to slap

1159
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,900
him. 
I want to punch him but show me 

1160
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:52,400
what to do. 
Father. 

1161
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:55,000
My kids are going crazy. 
I said at your feet, help me. 

1162
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,400
Father, I have aspirations and 
dreams and things that I want to

1163
00:56:58,408 --> 00:56:59,000
do balloon. 
Is it? 

1164
00:56:59,008 --> 00:57:02,500
Your will Is this what you want 
me to do? 

1165
00:57:02,900 --> 00:57:04,900
Help me to get rid of these 
distractions? 

1166
00:57:06,500 --> 00:57:08,700
He said that, if you would do 
that, then you would truly know 

1167
00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:12,800
God. 
Coming to church does not mean 

1168
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,600
you know God do you know him? 
Is he your everything? 

1169
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,600
Does your life revolve around 
his purpose? 

1170
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,800
This is life. 
Revolve around your relationship

1171
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,200
with him. 
Do you live and move and have 

1172
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,300
his being? 
Do you do you operate as where 

1173
00:57:25,300 --> 00:57:28,900
you go? 
God goes or do we just say hey 

1174
00:57:28,900 --> 00:57:30,800
them at church but we don't 
bring them home. 

1175
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:35,800
Praise brakes, were never meant 
to happen in church, a lot of my

1176
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,600
praise fakes because God said, 
you can dance in church but if 

1177
00:57:38,608 --> 00:57:41,700
you ain't living it. 
What did he say? 

1178
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:44,200
Say you're like you honor me 
with their lips but your hearts 

1179
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,000
are far from me. 
I don't want to be churchy. 

1180
00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:49,900
I want to be in the church but I
don't want to be churchy. 

1181
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:51,300
And sound church and act 
churchy. 

1182
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,500
And then live. 
This is just my son's age. 

1183
00:57:53,700 --> 00:57:57,600
He's everything he has to be 
everything. 

1184
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,300
What do you give in your 
strength to and for those that 

1185
00:58:02,300 --> 00:58:04,000
are seeking his purpose to keep 
at it? 

1186
00:58:04,700 --> 00:58:07,700
Keep at it. 
Keep at it, it's the greatest 

1187
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:09,600
life. 
There is you'll have trials and 

1188
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,800
tribulations, but welcome buckle
up. 

1189
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,100
It's going to be okay gods for 
you. 

1190
00:58:13,108 --> 00:58:14,900
He's not against you. 
He'll help you. 

1191
00:58:14,900 --> 00:58:17,100
To part the Red Sea. 
You'll do things in ways that 

1192
00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:19,800
you can never heal race bills. 
He'll give you favor. 

1193
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,400
They'll do things that people 
say how about the? 

1194
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,300
I don't know, but God, but God, 
I don't know. 

1195
00:58:23,300 --> 00:58:25,200
But God, how did you get out of 
that debt? 

1196
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:26,900
I don't know. 
But God, how did you get healed?

1197
00:58:26,900 --> 00:58:28,300
I don't know, bug out. 
How did your marriage can 

1198
00:58:28,300 --> 00:58:29,600
resurrect? 
That I don't know. 

1199
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,100
But God, how did you get sanity 
in your mind after those people 

1200
00:58:32,100 --> 00:58:34,200
standing back? 
But God, he knows. 

1201
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:40,700
You don't gotta figure it out. 
You gotta put your trust at the 

1202
00:58:40,700 --> 00:58:43,900
gate and say not time will your 
will be done. 

1203
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:49,000
He knows. 
He knows it's so clear. 

1204
00:58:49,900 --> 00:58:53,200
Tap, come on. 
We're closing down. 

1205
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,500
Man, I believe God's man, 
speaking today there's been a 

1206
00:58:57,508 --> 00:59:02,600
lot of things said, as we close 
couple statements that God said 

1207
00:59:03,700 --> 00:59:06,200
to me, we are trying to get God 
to bless your life, you have a 

1208
00:59:06,208 --> 00:59:07,500
backwards, he should be your 
life. 

1209
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,600
He should be your life. 
Is he your life? 

1210
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:15,500
I'm not saying, are you? 
Born is he? 

1211
00:59:15,500 --> 00:59:17,800
Or is he dumb? 
It's a completely. 

1212
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,100
Please understand. 
It's completely different. 

1213
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:22,200
Hehe. 
When you come to the gate. 

1214
00:59:22,900 --> 00:59:24,600
It's not you bringing your 
stuff. 

1215
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:29,400
It's leaving it all there and 
God gives you a brand-new life. 

1216
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:33,200
That you might not understand 
what he can do with your life, 

1217
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,700
but if you would trust him, he 
is a good father and he can move

1218
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:41,100
Miracles, he can move mountains,
he can give you favor. 

1219
00:59:41,300 --> 00:59:43,600
Hey, you just got it. 
You just got to sail or not thy 

1220
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:48,600
will. 
Before I give this all to, we're

1221
00:59:48,608 --> 00:59:51,300
going to have water baptism for 
those who are getting water, 

1222
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:55,400
baptism of baptized so that you 
can go change, prepare yourself 

1223
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,400
and then come back, For the rest
of us. 

1224
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,500
We got to take a minute here. 
I pray that the word is 

1225
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:13,000
convicted us this morning. 
I stopped living a long time 

1226
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:18,300
ago, and it doesn't mean I have 
to constantly say Lord, I'm 

1227
01:00:18,308 --> 01:00:19,900
sorry, I brought that in. 
I let that go abroad. 

1228
01:00:19,900 --> 01:00:21,400
We got to renew our mind. 
We got everything. 

1229
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:22,800
That's the renewing of our mind 
with. 

1230
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,100
That's a constant thing. 
Be transformed, not to the 

1231
01:00:25,100 --> 01:00:28,100
patterns of this world, but 
right, be transformed by the 

1232
01:00:28,100 --> 01:00:31,100
renewing of your minds, which is
the word of God. 

1233
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,700
It's so clear. 
It says in Proverbs chapter 3, 

1234
01:00:44,900 --> 01:00:48,400
it says trust. 
Verse 5 as his trust in the Lord

1235
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,800
with all your heart, Lee not 
interested in knowing him and he

1236
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,400
shall direct your path. 
Do not be wise in your own eyes,

1237
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:59,500
but fear the lord, it'll be 
Health to your flesh strength to

1238
01:00:59,500 --> 01:01:01,400
your bones. 
You don't have a sickness 

1239
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:02,900
problem, you have a seeking 
problem. 

1240
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:09,600
He says if you would seek the 
Lord to be Health to your flesh 

1241
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:14,000
doctors can't figure it out. 
He knows and maybe you just need

1242
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,900
to seek him like you never have 
before, not to get an answer but

1243
01:01:18,900 --> 01:01:21,700
because he's worthy but because 
he's the king. 

1244
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:30,200
Honor the fear, the lord, and 
depart from Evil honor, the Lord

1245
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,100
with your possessions and your 
first fruits and so that your 

1246
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:34,500
barns will be filled with plenty
and your Vats will overflow with

1247
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:36,300
the new line when you come into 
the kingdom. 

1248
01:01:36,300 --> 01:01:38,900
It's a whole new way of thinking
a whole new way of living. 

1249
01:01:41,100 --> 01:01:43,200
What do you give in your 
strength to God is saying this 

1250
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:48,000
morning? 
What do you give in your 

1251
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,700
strength? 
To is what you're doing right 

1252
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:53,100
now where you're supposed to be 
or have you just got busy trying

1253
01:01:53,100 --> 01:01:57,100
to make your own life and God is
saying, because here's the 

1254
01:01:57,100 --> 01:02:00,400
thing, God has things for you to
do and this is not a message of 

1255
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:01,900
like, oh, this is cute. 
And go home and listen to. 

1256
01:02:01,908 --> 01:02:03,800
This is a message that you need 
to apply. 

1257
01:02:04,300 --> 01:02:05,900
It's kinda like, what? 
Pastor Earle get the message on 

1258
01:02:05,900 --> 01:02:07,700
Wednesday nights a few weeks 
ago, about capacity. 

1259
01:02:07,700 --> 01:02:09,800
I don't know about you, but that
was like, oh my God. 

1260
01:02:10,700 --> 01:02:14,700
God you just you just I want to 
be everything that God wants me 

1261
01:02:14,700 --> 01:02:21,500
to be. 
I'm going to read this scripture

1262
01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:23,000
and we're closing. 
Now, what happened is, I went 

1263
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,700
and entered a certain Village 
and a certain woman named Martha

1264
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:28,500
welcomed him into her house and 
he had a sister called Mary who 

1265
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:32,000
also said, at the feet of Jesus,
and they heard his word, but 

1266
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,700
Martha was what distracted with 
much serving. 

1267
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:40,200
This is a good thing. 
Listen, then she was distracted 

1268
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,400
with what was serving and she 
approached Jesus and said, Lord,

1269
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,400
do you not care? 
That my sister has left me to 

1270
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,100
serve alone. 
Therefore tell her to help me. 

1271
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:54,500
You lazy, right? 
And Jesus answered and said, to 

1272
01:02:54,500 --> 01:02:58,400
her Martha, Martha. 
You are worried and troubled 

1273
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:04,900
about many things. 
But the one thing is needed and 

1274
01:03:04,900 --> 01:03:07,800
Mary has chosen the good part, 
which will not be taken away 

1275
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,800
from her. 
The one thing was needed, was 

1276
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,200
not to try to figure everything 
out. 

1277
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:15,500
The one thing was needed, just 
to sit at the feet of Jesus, say

1278
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:20,400
talk to me. 
Can I wanna but help me. 

1279
01:03:21,100 --> 01:03:27,800
How do I approach this? 
I'm also be honest with you, it 

1280
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,400
will not get better unless he's 
first. 

1281
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,400
I'm not one of those preachers 
say, it's all gonna work out 

1282
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,200
brother. 
God is good. 

1283
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,400
He's good but it will not work 
out unless he's first. 

1284
01:03:36,300 --> 01:03:37,800
And that's not hate. 
That's truth. 

1285
01:03:38,500 --> 01:03:39,800
We love you enough. 
To tell you the truth. 

1286
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,800
The truth shall set you free 
that, it will not get better 

1287
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,500
unless his kingdom is your 
number one priority. 

1288
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,500
God is not obligated to bless 
your life. 

1289
01:03:50,500 --> 01:03:53,100
Your plans, your dream guys? 
Like, that is nothing. 

1290
01:03:53,100 --> 01:03:55,300
Come and follow me. 
And I will show you what true 

1291
01:03:55,300 --> 01:03:58,100
life is not in heaven, but on 
Earth, 

1292
01:04:11,500 --> 01:04:14,600
If you realize man is I'm not 
seeking him, he's not first, I'm

1293
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,000
not asking if you're not born 
again, I'm asking you, is he 

1294
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,000
Lord. 
Is he Lord is the Lord of your 

1295
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,500
life. 
Is he Lord of your life? 

1296
01:04:22,500 --> 01:04:24,200
Is he? 
I'm not trying to get everyone 

1297
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:28,800
down here, but I'm here to ask 
you this morning, you know, if 

1298
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,200
he's Lord or not, and I knew 
when it came to my life, and at 

1299
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:38,600
one point I was like, he's not, 
forgive me, forgive me, show me 

1300
01:04:40,100 --> 01:04:42,700
if he's not Lord and you realize
I got to make a change. 

1301
01:04:42,700 --> 01:04:47,800
Not for if you if this is you. 
And you realize that I kind of 

1302
01:04:47,808 --> 01:04:49,300
feel like I'm at the gate and 
I'm trying to do all these 

1303
01:04:49,300 --> 01:04:54,600
things and I just need to just 
come If your purpose is not if 

1304
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,100
you're if you're if your heart's
desire is not his kingdom and 

1305
01:04:58,100 --> 01:05:00,900
everything else and from that 
flows your entire life. 

1306
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:04,300
If that's not where you're at, 
come to the altar.
