I want to talk about identity wealth.
Identity, wealth. All right, we're going to start
in Job chapter 27 verses 16 to 17.
I, I will let you know that as you're turning there or you
know, finding it on your electronic device.
Job 2716 and 17 The Millionaire will be out this year.
It is completed. There's only a couple things
left. It is the largest book that I've
written this art right now at 60,000 words, it's double the
size of any book we've put in print.
You know, so I'm hopeful that it will be transforming for those
who read it and, you know, continue to stir us up so that,
you know, we can walk in and tap into the great transfer that
will happen before the return of Christ.
And if he comes in the next 10 years, there's a lot of work to
be done. Right?
Job 2716 to 17 says this, though.
He piles up silver like dust and prepares garments as plentiful
as the clay. That's a lot.
He may prepare it, but the just will wear it, and the innocent
will divide the silver. Well, this verse sounds very
familiar to another verse in Proverbs chapter 13, verse 22,
just the beginning or, you know, this whole verse, but both key
in on the latter part of the verse.
It says a good man leaves an inheritance to his children's
children, and the wealth of the Sinner is stored up for the
righteous. So there's some things we need
to, you know, recognize here #1 the Sinner always, the Sinner is
always storing for the righteous.
I'm going to say that again, the Sinner is always storing for the
righteous. Now, they don't know that.
But if God says the wealth of the Sinner is stored up for the
righteous, then there's not a person who's a Sinner today
whose wealth is theirs. It's not theirs.
Now, I'm, I'll be the first to admit some of that wealth may be
in the millennial reign. I don't have a problem with that
thought process because we're going to come back to the earth.
There's going to be sinful man here and Jesus is going to take
the throne of the world and we will administrate all wealth for
him. We're going to do that.
So I'm not going to tell you that there's not a part over in
the Millennium. Just like I'm a firm believer
that there's a harvest on this side of the catching away and
probably a greater 1 on the other.
You know, I, I'm firmly persuaded in that.
So with that being said, there is a transfer that should happen
prior to the return of Jesus, OK.
And so know that as wicked as people are and as wealthy and as
much exposure they get, you can say that's the righteous's
money. Now, that doesn't mean it's your
money, but it is the righteous, OK?
It is the righteous and you have a right to it.
So the righteous are qualified to receive the transfer.
So here's the question then. What are the qualifications for
one to be righteous? And we need to be asking that
question more than any question we ask.
Because if money's not an issue with Dad, Dad owns the planet.
The issue is transferred and he's very clear who gets it or
the righteous. So you have to understand the
identity of the righteous, righteousness, qualification for
wealth. I said righteousness is
qualification for wealth. So you need to remain righteous.
Righteousness. Is a big deal.
Now good news is righteousness. How does it start?
Anyone want to take a jab at that?
How does righteousness start? Salvation?
Extremely easy. A confession of faith that Jesus
Christ is your Lord. You become the righteousness of
God in Christ. So righteousness is connected to
covenant, right? But covenant alone doesn't keep
you righteous. Righteousness is something in it
of itself because God wants to have a covenant with you.
And covenant has a lot of things going on, but there's
righteousness that's required. Let me ask this question.
Can you lose righteousness? Yes you can.
As a believer, you can walk in unrighteousness although your
spirit is righteous, right? Because if that's if it wasn't
possible, then there's no reason for first John 1 Not right.
So even though our spirit man is made righteous, we didn't make
it righteous. Christ did that What we could
not do, He did. However, there's two other
elements of our. Being.
Of which we de emphasize and we have to quit de emphasizing this
we must maintain emphasis that we're not just a spirit and our
soul and. Body mean nothing.
We are a spirit, but we have a soul and we live in a body and
we will always have a soul and live in a body.
It is just be glorified. So when we say we're just a you
know, we're a spirit. We're we're more in spirit.
We are spirit, soul and body, you know, and the Bible tells us
to have that blameless until he returns, which means even this
mortal one, this one that's decaying, this one that's not
perfected, still can be blameless.
And the mind or the soul realm is our responsibility.
We are to renew that. OK, So we can be made righteous
only by God, but yet we can still live unrighteous being
righteous. OK, will that cost us what is
rightfully for the righteous? Cause the wealth of the wicked
is laid up for the righteous. So sinners are storing for
righteous people. I don't care whatever anyone's
doing doesn't matter if they don't love God, if they are
becoming wealthy. You should champion and say
thank you because you are in a savings account for me and you
just don't even know it. Now when I say for me, I'm not
saying personally, I'm just saying for the righteous, which
means when necessary. And necessary and I'm going to
show you type and shadow tonight of which we all know this
context, OK, but there are some things concerning this that if
God's coming. Back and there is financial
necessity for his gospel to continue to function and move,
of which there is a part of that.
Again when we. Talk about identity wealth.
You have to answer why is wealth?
There, if you don't know the why for wealth, then you're going to
have a problem. OK, because and we'll show this
so with that being said again, what are the qualifications for
one to be righteous? The first easy answer is you
must be born again. Once you're born again, you made
the righteousness of God in Christ.
That puts you in qualification for transfer of wealth.
OK. However, it's your
responsibility to maintain righteousness that allows you to
continue to have transfer because.
If the other two elements of who you are, your soul in your body,
do not maintain the righteousness you are here in
your spirit, it will cost you wealth and it will cost you
continued transfer and then what you have you'll.
Lose. Now let's prove this.
Genesis 115 or 15, not 115. Genesis 1514.
Genesis 1514, he said. But I will also judge the nation
whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out
with many possessions or great possessions.
Now who? Who are we talking to?
Who's the Lord talking to here? He's obviously talking to
Abraham, right? He's showing him the land that
is going to be an inheritance to his descendants at some
juncture. But he's also giving him insight
that those descendants are going to get captured at some
juncture. And then they're going to be
pulled into a different, you know, they're going to be in
another nation or they're going to be in another nation and then
be made a slave. But the Lord will eventually
deliver them and they will have great wealth.
OK, so this is prophesied hundreds of years before an
event would occur, OK, which means in God's judging a nation,
why is he judging this nation? Because this nation is on their
unrighteous. And what's he going to do with
the possessions of the unrighteous?
He's going to give it to the righteous.
Now the righteous are those who are in covenant where God, God's
made a covenant with. So covenant opens up this
righteousness. However, we have a part to play
in our maintaining righteousness.
All right, we get over to Exodus chapter 3, verses 21 to 22.
Now we're getting into the time frame, the nation of Israel, as
you know how Genesis ends, Joseph ends up going over to
Egypt because of this fam. Well, he got there for another
reason. But famine has broke out.
Joseph has now become the chief administrator, Prime Minister of
Egypt, by which he is dealing with resource.
And as Will and I were talking about, there's a Joseph greater
than the Joseph I'm talking about and we'll get to that less
than in another day. However Joseph, you know, has
all this wealth there. His family finally shows up.
They get them transferred, put them in the best land and they
are prospering the nation. They are prospering within a
nation. Now the nation because Egypt
does not follow God, they are don't have a covenant with
Abraham, Isaac, Jacobs, God. As a result of that, they see
this nation who has a covenant with God prospering in the best
land, doing the lowest job. Now that's an interesting
thought by itself, isn't it, that they have the lowest job.
I mean, Egyptians loathe sheep herders.
You know, these that handle cattle, they it's a loathsome to
them. So the lowest job in the land,
they're prospering the most. That's a pretty interesting
fact. Now they're prospering in
numbers, but they're definitely doing fine.
They're in the best land anyway, because that's where the
livestock is. So the worst job you could have
is in the best place, right? And they are prospering so much
so that Egypt, because they don't have this relationship
with their God, they have different gods.
They're in fear. They think, man, these people
are going to pick up with somebody else.
They'll overthrow us. There's so many of them, way
more than us. We need to make them slaves.
So they do all right, which means they, in this case, Israel
was overtaken not because of sin, but because of
righteousness in general. OK, The enemy always wants to
take over the righteous. There's always going to be a
fight there, right? And you will be persecuted for
doing things right. You will be persecuted for doing
things wrong. You can have challenges when you
do wrong. However, in this case, they were
not taken over by a nation because of disobedience that the
history later on proves to be different.
In this case, that's technically not the case.
So they become slaves, of which now God sends his man Moses to
come and deliver them. That's where we're at in Exodus
321 to 22. It says this I will grant this
people favor in the side of the Egyptians and it shall be when
you go, you will not go out what empty handed, but every woman
shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her
house, articles of silver, articles of gold and clothing.
And you will put them on your sons and daughters.
Thus she will plunder the Egyptian.
So I'm using these scriptures so you understand what they're
going to come out with. All right, These are these are
this is tangible wealth. OK, Exodus 11/2, he tells Moses
again, he says now speak in the hearing of the people that they
that each man asked of his neighbor and each woman from her
neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold.
Now Egypt, there was a time that, you know, they were kind
of functioning in the economy. They were part of the process
until they became so numerous that Egyptians made them slaves.
And now they're basically working and not, you know,
getting bare minimum just to maintain a slave hood.
But the Lord's like, I know your pay, right?
I know that they're storing up really your money.
And you have to have that perspective.
You know, I'm talking about identity wealth, OK?
You have to have that perspective.
If they had kept that perspective, they'd have been
fine. But they didn't.
And we'll talk about that. But they're storing up for you
because there's a day I'm getting you out right.
So think about it. That verse we said in Proverbs
22, A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's
children. The 1st 100 years of slavery.
Those people did not leave an inheritance to their children or
did they 200 years later, you know another 100 years ago by
those people didn't leave an inherit or did they?
300 meaning they died, but. Is an inheritance being left to
children's children Now typically the problem when we
read this verse, we're only going to read it from our
address. And this is a wealth problem
because that's not why we get wealth for our address.
How do you? Know your address is going to be
taken care of. Give me a scripture that lets me
know that there's no doubt your home address is going to be
totally taken care of. Huh.
Matthew 633 Seek If you're seeking first the Kingdom, how
in the world can your children's children not already be
guaranteed an inheritance? So this is not a dollar figure
we even I mean if you're having that concept you're already
behind now that doesn't mean you're not you can't accumulate
with the wicked is doing this and they are definitely amassing
wealth for their people in Ledger books in accounts through
assets. All of that is occurring.
But you know what, when it comes to God is way bigger than that.
Way bigger than that. Because I've never seen the
righteous forsaken or. Man, are you hearing me?
OK, so we go on. Then in Exodus 12:35 to 36, that
send on the sons of Israel had done according to the word of
Moses, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of
silver, articles of gold and clothing.
And the Lord had given the people favor on the side of the
Egyptians, so that they let them have their requests.
Thus they plundered the Egyptian.
Yeah, I know Lord. So we see again what they have
done this Now Psalms one O 537 says this.
He then he brought them out with silver and gold and among his
tribe there was not one who stumbled.
Now let's go back to the thought process.
They've been in slavery for 432 years before Moses.
So again, the 1st generation of 100 years, those people are
slaves. Their kids are being raised in
slavery. It seems like they've left no
inheritance now. And you could argue, well, yeah,
but those children were begging for bread, right?
And then the next 200 years and then the 300 years, all those
kids were begging. So that didn't apply.
Well, the question is, is was. Faith in these people or not?
Because Hebrews lets us know that there is a list of
individuals that had a belief system that they never saw come
to pass, never saw come to. Pass.
They died before they saw it, but the question is, will they
actually still see it? This is the difference between
natural thinking and eternal thinking.
Because think about it, if if that dad was in the 1st 100
years of slavery and is like our God's our provider, he's good.
This is not. But I'm telling you, you stay
with him. He has provided for us.
He has stuff for us. There is a city for us because I
said all these people were looking for a city they were not
of. Which means it was within the
culture of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for this Kingdom to come,
for this city to arrive, for this country that was not their
own. And they were not limited in
this life to see it. They believe for it, but they
knew it would exist at some juncture.
There was an eternal Kingdom that was going to take place now
they died, went to the grave. We call it Abraham's bosom or
paradise. And then Jesus dies on the
cross, raised from the great Lee's captivity captive.
He has them personally with him now, of which they all know the
plan. No problem that this new heaven,
new earth's going to show up. Which means that guy that could
say, remember those 100 years that I was, we were down here
and I told you that God had an inheritance for us.
Now we're in a new heaven and new earth and dad's not a liar
and the wealth of the wicked's ours.
That's a pretty powerful statement.
So it's shallow in our thinking when we identify wealth in your
hundred years or 120 years on the earth, really limited.
You know what I would rather my because there's plenty of
scriptures talking about contentment, talking about
having a good name and not having great wealth.
You know, it's better to have these particular things.
Why? Because God knows if you'll
follow me, there's a time in eternity that God's going to let
you look at your children and say and your kids to say thank
you for. For keeping our king in front of
me. Look, Dad.
Well, I cause righteousness, we'll have it.
I, I would, I'm not crying. I'm not going to cry.
I don't want my kids crying if their father doesn't amass
billions of dollars and multiple homes in this life.
Because when they get to the other side and see what dad's
rewards are associated with this inheritance, we take this one
scripture. You know, a good man leaves an
inheritance to his children's children.
And I understand inheritances. I die and I leave it to you.
We understand. I'm thankful that Jesus died,
but he rose again and he gets to participate in this inheritance,
which tells me then inheritance should not be only for you to
participate when I die. But if there is an inheritance,
we can participate when we live together.
That's really good news. So here's the thing.
These guys are this example lets us know that because they were
in covenant, they were they had the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob and God delivered a people out of the people and he
delivered he had this wealth there of which Joseph started
the down payment of this investment right with his wisdom
that came from God. So God started the plan of
wealth accumulation. Pharaoh didn't do it, God did
through Joseph. From there, it continues to
compound interest with on the. Backs of the Israelite people
who seem like they're not going to be able to participate in
this. But God has a plan bigger than
that, right? Ultimately he delivers that
nation out and he says now all the all that those generations
that should have been paid is going to this generation that
you're going to participate in that and he transferred that and
they get it solely because they are in covenant in God's eyes.
There's a layer of righteousness about that.
And this is old covenant. So it's just types and shadows,
OK, Because we understand we can debate rate righteousness and
old covenant compared to a a new covenant.
But God is righteous to his word.
He already said to Abraham, I'm going to do this so God will
keep his word. And there were people who
believed God and was a part of the process and rejoiced and
loved God. However, the issue is is their
identity became such an issue that they could not maintain the
wealth that got transferred. We've heard Doctor Miles Monroe
say this concerning, and the burden of freedom is that a
delivered people is not a free people.
Because you must take personal responsibility.
And he said they're here. They were in the wilderness, a
free nation with a slave mentality.
So even though God delivered them out of slavery, they still
were slaves in their own mind. So how you see wealth now will
only expose more when you have wealth.
And here's the thing, God will give you wealth on a from a
righteous perspective, but if you do not have the right
thinking, that initial impact of wealth will not move to the next
impact of wealth because mentally you have the wrong
identity with wealth. And so it made me have this
thought. Wealth, in the hands of those
who never renew their minds to why wealth exists will forfeit
future wealth opportunities. Wealth in the hands of those who
never renew their minds to why wealth exists will forfeit
future wealth opportunities. So let's just do a quick this is
a This is probably one of the greatest examples of God saying
the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous.
Meaning here is a transfer. Egypt literally had wealth and
they were unrighteous. God and all of his plagues were
against their gods, their false gods, and he gave them
opportunity to. Repent, let my people go
multiple times. Just get yourself right.
But he hardened his heart, hardened his mind.
Not going to do it. My gods are better than your
gods only to find out they are not.
OK, He destroys that nation, but the wealth goes over to his
nation that he's in covenant with because Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, All right, he gets them. In to the wilderness that this
wealth does them no good right not buying anything he's going
to provide bread for them and I'm not giving this timeline but
we know that basically it wasn't long that they were on the
borders of the promised land which is another wealth transfer
so the first wealth transfer is Egypt.
The second wealth transfer is the land flowing with milk and
honey. And here's the thing.
Notice. This.
Whoo this is so good. God tells Abraham, your people's
going to be this when he's showing him the lands, that his
people are going to inherit it. You're not getting it, but your
people are going to have it. And the reason why Abraham could
not get a wealth transfer yet is because the sin of the amorite
had not come to his fullness. God was still giving them an
opportunity to repent and be a part of the righteous, the best
wealth. Transfer is a Sinner to be born
again. That's the easiest transfer of
wealth. You want that, right?
However, if they won't repent, he will give it to those who are
righteous. So here's a stage that we can
see. They came out of Egypt.
But now what Abraham, what God has told to Abraham, he said,
listen, this wealth, all this land is going to be this is your
wealth and I'm going to give it to your generation.
I I'm not giving it now. And the reason why all this is
because those are in it are unrighteous.
And if they don't change wealth is only for the righteous.
It was never for the unrighteous and it still is not.
So once that takes place, he's he's got a whole thing.
A nation is OK. I've got an investment here that
I'm going to give to my people, but I can't transfer yet.
I need it to just stay in its. You know, it's kind of like when
you put in stocks or you know, you do ACD or whatever, you
know, it's, it's, it's accumulating interest right now.
It's not. I'm not going to pull it out.
Premature in the In the meantime, he gets another nation
Wealth change trains his people that I'm your supplier.
I'll take care of you. I got you.
This is not a wealth issue. Money's easy for me because I'm
the creator. So because they wouldn't change
their slave mentality, they missed out on the opportunity
for the next wealth transfer. This is why Reverend Randy, you
know, is saying you got to change the way you do certain
things. You got to change the way you do
your business. You got to change the way that
you look at your accounts. You have to change the way this.
You got to look at this because again, if you don't do soul
change in mind renewal, if you're thinking OK, because
again, if your thought is OK, I want to make money for the
Kingdom. Well, there's your why and I
have no problem with that. But if you don't know how to
see, if you're still seeing, man, I, I want my family, man,
you're already off still. You're still a slave to the
system. Listen, your family's already
taken care of. They're off the by covenant.
It doesn't matter how big your house is and the things you
accumulate, it's irrelevant. Those things you're accumulating
are only Kingdom things. Again, are you asking what home
am I in? Why am I in it?
What do you need me to do? Again?
If he needs you to downsize for a particular purpose, downsize.
If he needs you to upscale, you know when I say upscale go
larger because of a different, then you should do that.
At the end of the day, those things are just tools by which
the Kingdom does some and you can't identify with those.
So you're amassing wealth is never because you're trying to
make more money. Making more money is never our
thought process. It is not your thought process.
Your thought process is strictly obedience, obedience to you.
Because when it comes, I'm putting it where you want it.
I'm putting it where you want it.
Now ultimately, you know, they did not obey.
And the Lord's like the first offering is going to build so my
presence can show up. You understand welts why it's so
his presence can be known and it's and honestly, it's a
travesty that we have to pull teeth that people are tithing,
throwing an offerings doing this stuff.
Now I and again, if you're functioning as God asks you to,
then you're not going to have so much overlay in your own
personal life that you cannot continue to give.
Towards. The Kingdom of God.
And again, if you want things to happen, and I'm not saying you
can't have debt, I'm not saying that you can't purchase it.
I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is, is we all do
this confession. I do not spend my money on
foolish pursuits, right? I don't do that.
What I do is I'm like, Lord, what do you want?
What do you need me to do? How do you need me to do that,
right? I'm not frugal to the point that
I'm stingy because some people are so tight that they're just
stingy. And you know what, their budgets
work great. They have more cash flow, but
yet you know when the Lord's like send that over, they're
like they are comfortable with their accumulation.
That person's has not the right identity with wealth.
OK, so mine renewal is important.
It's both extremes. You can give too much.
Now, what do I mean by that?
You can give, but God didn't tell you to give that.
You know, again, during the, you know, Word of Faith move of
prosperity, somebody gave a car away and then they received a
car and then they talk about how God gave them a better car.
Well, you know what people started?
God didn't tell them. You know, we'll claim it.
They put stuff on the refrigerator.
You know, I'm naming it. I'm claiming, you know what the
devil will bring you? Houses, boats, all kinds of
stuff. And most of those people aren't
even following God today. Not even following.
I could tell you the principle of those that are really
accumulated weight, wealth, what they're doing.
But I'll save that for another day or maybe somebody else can
say it. So we'll just leave it at that
for now. Hallelujah.
OK, so with that being said, let's open up some some dialogue
here. All right?
They forfeited the next transfer, which was only an 8 to
11 day event, all because once they became wealthy, they didn't
know how to hold it. They didn't know what to do.
They didn't realize it's not about look what we have now.
It's about what does God want, you know?
Because again, when you start having, you don't have to
listen. I mean, why you got to listen to
God, which we just took the nation's plunder.
Look what we have, and now he wants us to go in and fight
these. Why would I want to fight?
I have silver. Gold.
I mean, we don't talk about that aspect of it, right?
But why would you call yourself a grasshopper?
We say it's just because they were slaves.
Or was it because they were wealthy and lazy?
Pretty quick think about it, didn't have nothing, now have
everything. I mean how many people win the
Lotto in the next year? They have nothing.
Why? They don't change who they are.
Money doesn't. This tells us money does not
change you. And most people are pursuing
wealth because they want to be known as something.
They think it changes them. Well, you can change status in
the world's eyes, but it doesn't change you.
If you are covetous poor, you are more covetous wealthy.
If you have jealousy poor, you'll have more jealousy
wealthy. It it, it magnifies it because
you can flaunt it and it reveals the fact that you're you think
your identity is in I've arrived and these people are begging for
God to deliver them. He does.
Not only does he give them wealth, but then he heals them
and then he shows them hit. Their enemy is taken care of,
they get to watch his death. What are you afraid of?
But all of a sudden wealth with a non renewed mind means I don't
actually have to obey God. No begging for him to do
something, following him even though you know they struggled.
I get it. I understand God was merciful.
But man, once wealth hit, they're like, we can't even do
it. Why should we do it?
I mean, we've been, we, we've been, you know, in, in slavery
all this time and now we got to go and fight these people.
Let's enjoy a retirement, Yeah. And now what happened to 20 and
above? That was their wealth for life.
Now here's the thing God added still, because he's taking a
generation in getting righteousness, God will give the
next generation a righteous transfer only for what?
What are you going to do with it?
And once that he said, now look, you don't get in houses you
didn't build. Don't more believers forget God?
That means today, can I just be bold?
I will. the US, the Western church specific to the United
States is the Church of Laodicea because they're wealthy.
Why do they really? This is why church is an option,
servants an option, doing God on their turn.
Why I'm comfortable. He's neither hot or cold, 1 foot
in, one foot out, do just enough.
But the reality is I'm making good, I'm doing well, and their
identity wealth is wrong. All right, come on, anybody.
Yes. So I often think of, you know,
with this whole topic of the weekend, the.
Wealth of the weekend. And I ask myself constantly this
question, right? Well, and it's really what you
talked about tonight. Would if I had their wealth,
would it change? Constantly, yeah.
Before me and I wow, I wish our business could bring in
$1,000,000 right and it's it it constantly before me and I I
talked to heavens who have multi. $1,000,000.
Businesses Yep right how you know they worked so hard and how
you know they got their first million their.
First year business. Personal year business.
And all this other stuff. Yep.
Wow. Our business could generate
gotcha. Yep, Yep.
Yep, the struggle's real. Yep.
Can't. Afford it?
Yep. So that's.
Like a new new. Thing revelation.
To me. Yep, Yep, Yep, and.
So I'm and so I was like, wow, it's like, and and then I often
like find myself envying that thought of of having a residual
income where it's like, I don't have to do anything and it's
like a warning sign, which basically what.
You said. Which I received.
Yeah. Because I realized when you
partner with God, he's going to ask more of.
You. Yep.
He's going to ask me to demand more of you than if you
accumulate business wealth and and you just take it easy.
Right. Sure, man.
I just. I just traveled the world with
my wife. Yeah, yeah.
I'm like, yeah, I can. Still love God and and travel in
the world. Do it on my terms.
Do what I want. Absolutely, Yeah.
You know. Mm hmm.
As we. Go deeper into the things.
Yep. Yep.
You know, and I'm realizing, Yep, you know.
I'm realizing I'm tired sometimes.
He has me up all night long doing.
Stuff. Yep.
And I. Realized that part of that
process of having God as a business partner is almost a.
Literal death to someone. Oh, it's a yeah, I'll take that.
It's almost. Well, I mean, it's more than it
is. It is we, you know, we've been
crucified with Christ no longer I who live, but Christ lives.
We are who we are because of who he is.
And so we are following him. There's two systems that are
functioning. There's a world system that's
extremely prosperous because what good is it a man to gain
the whole It's very prosperous, the system.
This is why to me the church is so ignorant.
Now, that doesn't mean. There there are concepts in
scripture and I don't have time tonight for us to explore all
those because it talks about making friends with wealth.
There are certain things out there, but you have to be
extremely cautious when you're engaging the business world from
those that are just strictly in business and outside of covenant
because they're this is no different than a believer trying
to get with an unbeliever. They're unequally.
Yoked. You're not equally yoked with
them. They, they are going to and the
devil is going to flaunt their wealth in front of you because
that's his tool to try to seduce you away from a relationship
with God, period. Because but The thing is, when
you on your identity of wealth, when you have identity wealth,
you're you're you. When you walk in a room, you
already know you are the wealthiest person actually in
the room. Now you can't prove that from a
bank account, but you can prove it from a scriptural account.
That's a different person walking in a room.
Well, what's your net worth? You, you could, you could
literally say them. I could, I can't tell you that.
And they would think how there's so much wealth that's connected
to me. I I can't even count it all.
And that's a true statement because if the wealth of the
wicked is, then that means plenty of wicked people's income
when God needs you can transfer. So you have no idea all the
accounts that you have. And, and they say, well, that's
bad stewardship. Really.
I guess Joseph stunk at stewardship.
He got to a place he's like, quit counting the grain.
Quit counting it. Don't even count it now.
We've not gotten into numbers. We're like, just feel the
weight, throw it in, let's go quick count.
Don't even worry about counting it.
I mean, he got to a place that he was a good steward, but he
got to a place that was so much like, don't even count it.
I mean, Solomon, same way, silver, whatever.
We got so much of it. I don't even think about it.
He wasn't squeezing and saying how much we have now.
Make sure you got the account. I mean, you understand so much
wealth was flowing in when they were trying to rebid.
They were like our MO. There's so much we, I mean, I
don't even know what to do. We got too much, you understand.
And you already are at that place because your dad owns the
planet. So the issue is not to ask them
how to make more. The issue is to say Dad and God.
Dad is not asking you to do any more than what he's already
ordained for you. So you got to ask yourself the
question, how much do you have to have before you're satisfied
that you are there? It's.
You can't even put it a number. I understand your goal set well.
We want to be able to have you know this much in sales.
Whatever. And I get it.
Goals are good, no problem. But again, if you don't know
what those goal, I say $50 million right now, I'll take it.
But when I say that, it's because I know what I'll.
Do with it. Not it's my goal for me, it's
what I'm spending for me. When we think of when I think of
money, I'm like one of my and I am, you know, like the movie
Schindler's List, two more, these three.
That's three more Jews, bro. That's the only way I think of
money is only a tool by which the gospel can go.
That's it. Strictly.
I never think about, well, if we can make this, then I could get
a bigger salary. That's never my thought.
I don't even think about it. I don't think.
Well if we could then I can make sure I leave this more for my
kids. I don't even think about it.
I have no thought because I keep giving them the name of Jesus.
I do have resource, however, I know I'll leave them a resource
should the Lord Terry, which I do not believe so.
So let's, let's use it all while we're here before we get changed
in a moment, in the twinkle not. But the reality is whatever it
is. And if I'm leaving something,
they better know why because I'm not leaving it for them to be
comfortable. If they don't know why they get
it, then, then I'll give it to someone who knows why.
Because again, a good man leaves an inherent to his children.
Who are my kids? There you go.
Who is my mother? So you understand why it could
be my son that if I was to go on and be with the Lord and my sons
were not following God and why it was a spiritual son and
passionate for God, I would do a disservice to transfer righteous
wealth to wicked when I have a righteous son that I could.
Give it to. Then you say, wow, you don't
care about I love my kids. Sure do, and I would can leave
them something to be kind, but I sure don't want to leave them
something to cripple them and push them further into the hands
of the devil. At the end of the day, I can cut
and this is yours and it's all you get.
I mean, that's what that this is all you get, so you go spend it.
If he wouldn't have came back home, he'd have got no more.
All right, all right. Another verse pops up to my head
when you were saying that is that you know, again, we can
never take the thought, OK, where are we going to get when
we get a little bit older because how we want to live.
You sound a lot like, ah, I've accumulated so much, but let me
build another barn. You got to eradicate that, that
that can be not, it cannot be a identity wealth.
Thought process for you and in. Regard to that.
That's Luke 12, Luke 12. And the the verse in there says,
you know to them, take heed and beware of coverages where a
man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things he
possesses. That eradicate, eradicate.
So you have to already say wealth is not our issue.
Our issue is where what are we doing with it?
What am I doing with it because? Like that verbal he was storing
it. Up.
Yep, but. Then he gets to the last verse.
Yep. It's always the one.
That's not reached toward God, which you know, we've gone over
many times. Yep, that a.
True translation of the Greek in there says that so is those that
are not becoming rich. For God, for.
God. You're not going to do it the
world's way. If you are doing it the world's
way, that's a problem. You need to check your own
heart. You're not doing it the world's
way, so you can never look at you and your business and
compare it with someone who's not in covenant in the way they
do it. Because honestly, a lot of those
that got their first million or whatever, if you knew their
character and how the integrity and maybe some of the things
they've done, do you want that? The Scripture Proverbs have
plenty to say about that kind of wealth accumulation.
Right. Plenty to say about that.
It's such, it's such a paradigm shift now.
Again, the church has become so adverse to even money
conversations that at the end of the day, you know you you.
Can't even hardly have the conversation about it, 'cause
you know, I'm I, I'm after your money, OK, whatever, you know,
that's your problem. Not my problem, but it's an
unfortunate same thing with government.
Can't talk about government, right?
Well, we see what's happened. We are not going to do this.
And I'll tell you 2026. Now let me leave you with this
thought and we got 7 minutes, so I'll take more questions.
Whatever is assigned to this vision, God will get it to this
vision. So if someone had been here and
would would have been a part of that and leaves, you can claim
their part. Now, how do we know this
scripturally? He gave 1512 and one one and the
one didn't do anything. So he said I'll give it to one
who's going to do something. So if you don't want to
participate in this process anymore, and God ordained you to
be well, the resource that could have flown through somebody's
business that's no longer here can come to yours.
And we're not trying to steal or rob.
God's going to put in this house exactly what he ordained.
And again, he's doing it through us.
The majority of the wealth should come through those who
are seated in this. It's your storehouse.
We should, I'll take it from someone who's passing by.
Fine, but I'm not trying to build a culture of the reason
why we just got $350,000 because a wealthy person came by and
dropped a check in the thing and we get to shout about it.
Why aren't you are 350,000 right?
Why aren't you? And on the other side is is that
I'm never going to treat you know this.
I'm never going to treat you special.
I don't care. I'm not going to do like the
others and find the top 10 givers and meet with you Pry.
I'm not doing that. That's unscriptural.
And I know that those churches are raking in finance doing
that, but that's not God's way. And ultimately I think it's
going to hurt them. It's going to hurt them.
It's good for a season. But again, what did Moses do?
He said man. I am not going to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a season. I would much rather just do it
God's way. And doing this God's way is
ridicule, persecution, you know, and the enemies.
Why are you doing this? Look at these others.
Look at this. Look at that.
I'm just going to stay righteous.
Righteousness always pays out. Anybody else want to comment on
what we're talking about? Sure, absolutely.
You know, I know you had a pure art to show and then yet you
there, you put my name on the on the Billboard.
That man Brandon was the number one giver in. 2025 and then
sure. Wow.
So then I start to think that. OK, well, I mean, yeah, yeah,
yeah. And what's worse than that is
they take them to private dinners.
They give them additional gifts that cost more.
I mean, they cater to them literally.
And again, I can tell them how do you know they're the
greatest? Because Jesus was taking up an
offering and the wealthy drop stuff in and the poorest person
in the room, he said gave the most.
So how can you say they're their your biggest giver?
When Jesus said this woman who's, you know, rubbing coins
was the greatest, it doesn't make she should be in the room
because it's a matter of the heart, right?
And it's always, and that's why God identified only one other
master. Only one other.
And you got to conquer that master, because that one will
vie for governing your decision making, right?
So again, what can you have, really?
What can't you have? That's what I mean.
We're from like Pastor Dave did you used to say we're fighting
faith from victory. So it's not, it's like, what
can't what? What can't you?
It's really just, Lord, if you don't want me to go in that
direction, fine. Just tell me because
everything's available. I'm a child of God.
The world is yours. What do you need me to do right?
And you understand the reason you don't go in certain areas,
because God's allowing another one of His.
Kids to get in that market and to take that area, it's his Ave.
for them. That's all right.
Because again, he's not going to fund his vision through one
person. I remember telling Randy,
because we would have these conversations back in Sand
Springs and I said, Randy, let me tell you something.
The minute you make enough money to be able to pay for the vision
that I have, God will give me a vision bigger than your checking
account because God will let you know you're not enough.
So again, if your heart, I want to be at a right pastor early
check and just pray for his projects.
Guess what? The minute you can do it, a
bunch of projects are going to come and you're going to be
like, well, I thought I could because God's going to let you
know. And there are churches who have
built on people's wealths that then when they left, it was a
big deal. It was it hurt them, right?
So I'm not building the ministry.
I'm not building my ministry on your wealth.
I'm building the ministry on a vision that then will pull
provision and you'll get to participate in it when you
recognize that you got to have that mind renewal because again,
God already says you're qualified for wealth, you're
righteous, but are you renewing your mind on why you're going to
have it? Because if you don't, when he.
Gives it to you. Because of his word.
Then you'll determine whether you can take the next territory.
You're going to determine it. OK All right.
Say 30. Good stuff.
All right, all right, now feel free to write questions, text me
for those who have my texts, which I think just about
everybody in this room almost does.
But again, if you don't just get with me and say, hey, I was
thinking about this, let's converse.
All right? And the next time we come
together, I don't know whether I'll do February or not, but
we'll continue to do more. Yes, Ken.
Make sure can you visit with Todd?
No, I didn't have. Anything.
Just get. With Todd and get this for the
new year of 1. Podcast.
OK, he can. Make a recommendation for those
that didn't come. Deny.
Yeah, OK. They need to hear Yep on that.
We've got to start with this. Yep, we've got to start.
Mine renew on that. The biggest thing that I'm going
to do for you because of the gift of God on my life, the
grace, because God in 2017 officially moved me into the
primary apostle gift. And that's when apostle scales
came and laid hands on me in a Kingdom rise service.
That's when it started and then it continued to grow and then I
began to function in it more. And so people who were used to
my pastoral gift and I'm moving into apostle, they look
different and they just want pastor, not apostle.
So not everybody's going to stay for that.
And that happens. However you recognize it's there
and what it will do and it's always been there, but it's at
the forefront is that it has the ability to go into new territory
and see things at a big picture. My big, the biggest thing that I
will help the gift and grace on your life is so that you'll get
big picture about what you're doing.
You'll maintain a big picture and a big picture will save you
from getting in a ditch by keeping your mind small or
focusing on one thing. OK, I'll help enlarge your
thought process. And, and it's not because I know
it's because the grace is there. So when you ask questions, it'll
pop up. The anointing will cause it to
happen. And so if you, if you pull on
that, then by the grace of God, we'll be able to give insight
that's going to cause you to continue to expand.
