1 00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:04,840 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,200 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:17,760 Now enjoy this message. Well, you know, I was, you know, 4 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,160 praying today on whether I should move into some veins 5 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,560 concerning in times, and but the Lord just directed me back, he 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,360 said. No, you're going to do a 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,240 leadership lesson. You're going to do one on 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:36,280 confident leaders because at the end of the day, there's many to 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,640 talk about and I I will ask the Lord and we just did it. 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360 We dealt with some current event, but it's more important 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,800 that I don't follow the scene realm because I had an idea 12 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,800 about ministering on Sunday in October and because of the 13 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,180 month. And the Lord said, no, you'll 14 00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:02,420 save that till 2024 because again, he will not let me just 15 00:01:02,420 --> 00:01:05,500 technical use just natural things all the time to be at 16 00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:07,260 just because it's in people's minds. 17 00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:11,860 So it's really more important that we do follow what God says, 18 00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:15,900 because what you see happening in the world is a leadership 19 00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,180 crisis. I'm going to say that again. 20 00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:25,950 It's a leadership crisis. And our nation will not emerge 21 00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:34,470 as a leader if we do not train true leadership because our 22 00:01:34,470 --> 00:01:40,430 nation is not doing that. Our universities are not doing 23 00:01:40,430 --> 00:01:43,550 it. Our corporations are not doing 24 00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:46,270 it. I mean the corruption across the 25 00:01:46,270 --> 00:01:49,830 board in the United States is. Huge is huge. 26 00:01:51,630 --> 00:01:55,870 You know, it's the church's responsibility to really raise 27 00:01:55,870 --> 00:02:01,910 up leaders, and we do not have the caliber of humanity in our 28 00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:08,030 nation because church is just an afterthought, even among 29 00:02:08,030 --> 00:02:12,390 believers. I mean, you just look at the 30 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:15,190 turn of the century of the United States, you understand 31 00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:18,950 before that, right around the Industrial Revolution, OK. 32 00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:23,930 I mean the majority of people had a moral compass and was 33 00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:30,210 going to church. Then we get into some conflicts. 34 00:02:30,730 --> 00:02:33,050 I'm not saying the whole United States will say that's just not 35 00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:34,250 true. We understand that. 36 00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:38,970 But there was a a national morality because of how 37 00:02:38,970 --> 00:02:42,330 important church was in our culture. 38 00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:46,430 And after, you know, the Second World War of a lot of fathers, 39 00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:50,110 you know, died in that conflict. And there were some challenges 40 00:02:50,110 --> 00:02:52,470 that were associated with that, not only the ones who died but 41 00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:55,070 the ones who came back. And I know that it started to 42 00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:58,430 really deal with the home a lot. And then eventually, you know, 43 00:02:58,430 --> 00:03:01,270 we start breaking down the home. And then all of a sudden, you 44 00:03:01,270 --> 00:03:05,190 know, the church itself begins to take a back seat to decision 45 00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:09,390 making and prosperity to the point that here we are now we 46 00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:10,910 started replacing the church with. 47 00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:14,660 You know, a lot of universities, and a lot of universities quit 48 00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:17,060 the idea of following God. They started taking on the 49 00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:19,260 separation of church and state more and more. 50 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:22,900 And the next thing you know, we're taking truths that can 51 00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:28,140 build leaders that no longer are even being communicated anymore. 52 00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:33,300 And that's why there's such a leadership vacuum in our nation 53 00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:38,460 and across the world. So, you know, we need to do a 54 00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:41,340 better job at coming back because they don't take a lot of 55 00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:44,780 us. We'll say that again, God can 56 00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:47,700 turn all kinds of things around with a remnant. 57 00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:53,980 And make no mistake about it, there is a remnant in the earth. 58 00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:57,700 As far as the globe is concerned. 59 00:03:57,740 --> 00:04:00,420 The United States and a few other nations would be the 60 00:04:00,420 --> 00:04:05,700 remnant that still, you know, says they are, you know. 61 00:04:06,130 --> 00:04:11,970 A nation that does freely worship Jesus Christ as Lord. 62 00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:18,329 OK, there are very few nations that are that open concerning 63 00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:23,210 that their people can worship Jesus Christ as Lord freely. 64 00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:29,690 That's a minority of nations. OK then then then there's a 65 00:04:29,690 --> 00:04:34,130 remnant with inside that, because not all Christians are 66 00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:38,460 being earthly good. And it's not because they're 67 00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,100 spiritually minded. You know what? 68 00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,380 You're so heavenly minded. You know earthly good. 69 00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:45,980 Well, I I agree with that statement. 70 00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:48,340 When all you're thinking about is going to heaven, you're 71 00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:53,100 definitely no earthly good. But you definitely should be 72 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,620 heavenly minded and the more heavenly minded in the context 73 00:04:56,620 --> 00:05:00,020 of what is heaven saying, so I can impact earth? 74 00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:05,100 Well then you are going to be something for the earth and so. 75 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,480 You know, we have to continue to say what's God saying and how 76 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,800 can we enact this on the earth? And we have to continue to die 77 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,120 to self. All right, that's good. 78 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,520 I was talking with our staff the other day and we were talking 79 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,240 about this statement that we're going to stop saying here. 80 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,360 When I or when we say it, you're going to know what it means, 81 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,040 which is balance is the key to life. 82 00:05:35,650 --> 00:05:39,850 And so many you hear balanced, you think a couple scales right? 83 00:05:39,850 --> 00:05:43,850 They're balanced, right? And I, one of my youngest staff 84 00:05:43,850 --> 00:05:46,330 member, says there is no such thing as a yin and Yang in the 85 00:05:46,330 --> 00:05:50,850 Kingdom. And then another one of my staff 86 00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:55,290 says, well, when it comes to the Kingdom it says Paul or John. 87 00:05:55,290 --> 00:05:59,570 The batter said at the clearest I must and he must. 88 00:06:01,010 --> 00:06:05,390 Well, increases more weight. So when God begins to increase, 89 00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:12,230 so if you want to have a balanced life, we need to lose 90 00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:16,590 you and only have Him. Because when you only have him, 91 00:06:16,590 --> 00:06:20,750 then every area of your life will actually become balanced. 92 00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:24,900 But the minute you try to categorize, well, I got my 93 00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:29,100 church life, I got my my family life, I got my kids life, I got 94 00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:30,940 my job life. And we got to keep these 95 00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:32,420 balanced. You know, like I put this much 96 00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:34,220 time here. Not all of you off balance 97 00:06:34,220 --> 00:06:36,700 anyway, because you put 40 or 50 hours in your job and you're 98 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:38,300 only putting a couple hours here to church. 99 00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:39,820 You've never been balanced there. 100 00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:44,420 Then if it was about time, which is what people say, right? 101 00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:46,180 Well, pastor, you know I can't come to church. 102 00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:48,990 Because, you know, I got to got to be with my family, got to got 103 00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:51,270 to balance my Well, you're unbalanced because you're not 104 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:52,510 seeking the low with all your heart. 105 00:06:57,230 --> 00:07:00,430 So if balance is the key to life, then it's all, God know 106 00:07:00,430 --> 00:07:04,190 you and you're going to be extremely balanced because 107 00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:06,590 you'll never do anything wrong. Because you'll always be doing 108 00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:10,830 what? God, because he's life. 109 00:07:11,710 --> 00:07:14,790 The minute you keep yourself in the equation, you're hindering. 110 00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:19,050 Your balance. Hallelujah. 111 00:07:20,610 --> 00:07:23,970 And so, you know, if we're going to have confident and strong 112 00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:28,490 leaders, then the leadership of the church has to say all him, 113 00:07:29,050 --> 00:07:32,530 none of me. Because it's kind of crazy to 114 00:07:32,530 --> 00:07:36,370 think that God would never would not let a husband be good to his 115 00:07:36,370 --> 00:07:39,010 wife. That's like Ludacris. 116 00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:48,190 That a wife would not be good to their husband if they sold out 117 00:07:48,190 --> 00:07:48,790 to God. Amen. 118 00:07:50,630 --> 00:07:54,550 I mean, it's just ludicrous that they couldn't be great parents 119 00:07:54,550 --> 00:08:00,430 if they selled out to God. Amen. 120 00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:08,190 Hallelujah. We need some leaders, man, at 121 00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:11,670 the end of the day, but leadership can only be found in 122 00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:14,030 knowing him. Again, obviously you know we 123 00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:15,510 wrote a book called Lead Follower. 124 00:08:15,950 --> 00:08:18,230 And again, you can't even be a lead follower if you're not 125 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:23,310 following in the first. And if you're not following the 126 00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:27,070 word, then you can't even aspire to real leadership. 127 00:08:27,070 --> 00:08:29,550 Now you can accomplish worldly leadership, but that's 128 00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:32,429 worthless. I mean, it just gets you the 129 00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,270 world. It doesn't get you the Kingdom. 130 00:08:37,270 --> 00:08:40,549 Amen. I mean, honestly, our nation 131 00:08:40,549 --> 00:08:55,770 right now should be in prayer, but we're just doing life. 132 00:08:56,730 --> 00:09:01,610 Hebrews 1035 says this. Therefore, do not throw away 133 00:09:01,610 --> 00:09:05,610 your confidence, which has great. 134 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Reward confidence means full of conviction. 135 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,560 The state of being convinced to believe something is true and 136 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:15,640 the Bible is the only thing that is true. 137 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:22,840 Everything else is not true. It may be factual, it may be 138 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,840 facts. That is the fact it is that way. 139 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,400 But it may not be. Truth okay? 140 00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:34,540 Confidence means the quality or state of being certain. 141 00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:37,020 Or we could use another word called boldness. 142 00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:40,780 Boldness. And we need boldness. 143 00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:44,420 Now I will say this that you have to understand to be a 144 00:09:44,420 --> 00:09:47,860 confident leader. To the ones that are insecure, 145 00:09:48,860 --> 00:09:50,660 they will always call you arrogant. 146 00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:58,220 Every insecure person, which means they lack confidence, will 147 00:09:58,220 --> 00:10:00,700 call a confident leader arrogant. 148 00:10:01,470 --> 00:10:04,190 They will actually call them prideful when the reality is 149 00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:08,630 it's the insecure that's prideful, because they will not 150 00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:13,390 become what God has made them. And when you are what God's made 151 00:10:13,390 --> 00:10:14,910 you, then you don't care about what anybody. 152 00:10:15,070 --> 00:10:18,350 You're not intimidated by anybody else's gift or how they 153 00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:21,390 function because you can only be the best you. 154 00:10:22,350 --> 00:10:24,600 That's all you can be. You know, there's no 155 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,000 competition, really, among us because I can't be you. 156 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,800 You can't be me. And you're not supposed to be 157 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,160 me. I'm not supposed to be you. 158 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,520 I'm just wanting to be the best me. 159 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320 I want to be the Earl that the book's written about of Earl. 160 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,800 I don't want to be your book. Now I get your pages. 161 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,760 If you don't do anything. But at the end of the day, just 162 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,110 be the best you. And confidence comes in because 163 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:50,510 you know God and you know His Word. 164 00:10:50,910 --> 00:10:52,430 Now again, I say that because a lot. 165 00:10:52,430 --> 00:10:56,630 Well, I know God. Well, all the world knows God, 166 00:10:56,910 --> 00:10:59,390 but that doesn't mean they have a relationship with God, nor 167 00:10:59,390 --> 00:11:01,830 know His word, nor apply His word. 168 00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:05,910 And those things are different. So all confident leaders 169 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:08,390 understand the value of never losing hope. 170 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:12,590 Never losing hope. I don't care how bad the 171 00:11:12,590 --> 00:11:17,670 situation is, a confident leader will find hope. 172 00:11:18,390 --> 00:11:22,190 Let me just say this way they have to because hope itself is 173 00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:26,150 confident expectation. So the minute you lose hope 174 00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:29,590 about something, well, guess what you you can't confident 175 00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:32,070 lead confidently. Lead in that area anymore? 176 00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:37,110 All right, so without hope, there's no way a leader can be 177 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:40,340 or become confident. So I'm going to give you some 178 00:11:40,340 --> 00:11:43,340 points that are essential for possessing confidence. 179 00:11:44,380 --> 00:11:46,020 And this is for everybody in the room. 180 00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:49,300 This is not a biblic. This is not church stuff in the 181 00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:50,740 sense that this only happens in church. 182 00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:55,180 This happens at your work, This happens in your home as a father 183 00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:57,820 or mother. This happens in your place of 184 00:11:57,820 --> 00:12:01,020 employment, whether your employee or whether your manager 185 00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:03,260 or you have some other type of authority there. 186 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:07,060 It functions here. This happens in society. 187 00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:11,260 You know, in every sector of society these principles work. 188 00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:16,220 And let me tell you, God needs you to apply these principles 189 00:12:16,220 --> 00:12:18,420 because he's looking for the children of God. 190 00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:22,180 The Bible says He, He himself looks through the earth looking 191 00:12:22,180 --> 00:12:24,460 who he can find himself strong in. 192 00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:29,020 He's looking for faith in us. He's looking for someone that 193 00:12:29,020 --> 00:12:32,460 won't back down, someone who will believe him at his word, 194 00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:34,620 even when it looks like his word won't work. 195 00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:38,860 Because ultimately when he brings his word to pass through 196 00:12:38,860 --> 00:12:42,860 their faith, then God himself is glorified and the chances of 197 00:12:42,860 --> 00:12:46,140 more people repenting becomes possible. 198 00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:53,540 So the essentials for possessing confidence, the first thing is 199 00:12:53,540 --> 00:12:56,900 you must know and act on the will of God. 200 00:12:57,620 --> 00:13:02,060 You must know and act on the will of God if you do not know 201 00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:06,180 the will of God. Then your action will have no 202 00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:11,740 confidence. Even if you're doing it, it will 203 00:13:11,740 --> 00:13:14,420 have the voice of uncertainty. Well, I don't know. 204 00:13:14,420 --> 00:13:16,860 We're just going to try. That's not confidence. 205 00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:19,340 Because at the end of the day, could it work out? 206 00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:22,500 Yes. But again, who wants to go 207 00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:28,020 through life? Not sure, because the Bible is 208 00:13:28,020 --> 00:13:31,220 about surety. I said it's about surety. 209 00:13:31,660 --> 00:13:35,000 The word of God is about surety. And again, when we read our 210 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,920 history book, The Word, do you understand? 211 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320 These aren't, like things that happen in a church service. 212 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,120 It's in church service stuff. I mean, when Jacob has been 213 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,920 robbed of his wages 10 times and the Lord's like, all right, son, 214 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,680 you're done. I want you to get your family 215 00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:59,400 and come back home. But before you go, I need to 216 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,560 reward you for your faithfulness. 217 00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:06,300 So I am going to give you an idea on how to reproduce the 218 00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:11,140 strongest sheep some manufacturing in agriculture. 219 00:14:13,540 --> 00:14:17,260 This was not a church service. This was not getting filled of 220 00:14:17,260 --> 00:14:19,180 the Holy Ghost and falling on his face. 221 00:14:20,180 --> 00:14:23,940 This was not running around the pasture 7 times. 222 00:14:26,540 --> 00:14:29,660 This was an idea that came from the Lord. 223 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:36,680 On how to breed the sheep. So what does he do? 224 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,440 He goes to his fatherinlaw and he says, listen, the Lord wants 225 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:46,040 me to return home, so I'm going to go, OK And he was like 226 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,960 begging. He said, no, no, I'm not. 227 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,280 He said, Well, he said, well, this is what I want to do, You 228 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,440 know, obviously there's some livestock that's mine and yours. 229 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,600 What we'll do is this, just give me these type of sheep. 230 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,930 You'll have these type of sheep. And that way you'll know and 231 00:15:01,930 --> 00:15:04,610 I'll know which one's mine. And he's like. 232 00:15:04,890 --> 00:15:08,290 And when Laban looked at that, he saw all the white ones. 233 00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:11,930 There were very few spotted and speckled ones. 234 00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:16,410 And he was thinking to himself, this is a good deal, sure, 235 00:15:16,410 --> 00:15:17,730 because he done robbed him right? 236 00:15:17,810 --> 00:15:20,930 Anyway, well then all of a sudden he starts reproducing. 237 00:15:20,930 --> 00:15:25,890 Next thing you know, all the white sheep are becoming weak. 238 00:15:26,890 --> 00:15:31,660 And all the spotted ones. Speckled and spotted or yet 239 00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:35,540 stronger and and it's was that happen chance. 240 00:15:36,260 --> 00:15:40,580 Was that just luck on the part of this particular breeding 241 00:15:40,580 --> 00:15:43,940 season? No, it was intentional. 242 00:15:44,260 --> 00:15:49,220 It was a plan from God that Jacob was so confident that he 243 00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:53,100 was like this. Just let me breed sheep. 244 00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:56,060 I'm going to keep yours. I'll breathe my own and at the 245 00:15:56,060 --> 00:15:58,260 end of the day we'll split at the end of the season. 246 00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:03,660 And all of a sudden, the brothers began to, you know, the 247 00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:07,500 sons of Layman's like, we're losing our flock, Jacob's 248 00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:10,700 getting the strongest ones. And again now he's like, they're 249 00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,220 not going to steal my stuff anymore. 250 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:15,100 God just gained my wage. So, like, we're out of here. 251 00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,340 And they left. But he had a business idea. 252 00:16:21,460 --> 00:16:24,380 Joseph, that is not a church service idea. 253 00:16:26,980 --> 00:16:31,990 It's not a church service idea. Jacob was so confident about his 254 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:35,630 that he could tell him to do it, and he acted on it because he 255 00:16:35,630 --> 00:16:38,750 had the noble of God, how to get stronger sheep. 256 00:16:38,990 --> 00:16:41,790 And he got it. That was all by faith. 257 00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:47,590 He practiced what he was told Joseph himself when he was 258 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:50,630 called up to the king out of prison, right? 259 00:16:50,830 --> 00:16:55,750 And he gives him the dream. He gets a download by God of the 260 00:16:55,750 --> 00:16:59,970 interpretation. He was confident enough to say 261 00:17:00,450 --> 00:17:03,170 What he didn't do is say, well, I could be wrong. 262 00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:10,810 I'm really not. I mean, I I have an idea what it 263 00:17:10,810 --> 00:17:15,569 could be. Could be, you know, or how about 264 00:17:15,569 --> 00:17:18,130 the false humility? Oh, I'm nothing. 265 00:17:18,130 --> 00:17:20,770 And I'm not even sure if what I'm going to say is right. 266 00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:27,359 No, he was confident. He's like what I'm about to tell 267 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,360 you. God himself has given me the 268 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,960 answer. I got the answer from God. 269 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,720 I'm telling you right now, and I'm going to give you the 270 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,560 answer. I'm going to shoot straight with 271 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,160 you. And what I loved about him is he 272 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:43,840 was so confident in another dream before Pharaoh's, and that 273 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,600 was his own dream, that he would rise to power and that his 274 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,520 family would bow down to him, that he did not negotiate with 275 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,730 Pharaoh for his release. Prior to interpreting it, not 276 00:17:56,730 --> 00:18:00,770 only does he interpret the dream accurately, he gives him the 277 00:18:00,810 --> 00:18:10,490 economic plan to escape the famine as a king, and then says. 278 00:18:10,810 --> 00:18:18,970 That's the guy you need to find, because Farrah Coulda says we'll 279 00:18:18,970 --> 00:18:21,210 take your advice, put the prisoner back in jail. 280 00:18:21,730 --> 00:18:26,770 Because Hebrews are loathsome to Egyptians. 281 00:18:31,850 --> 00:18:35,250 Joseph never changed that in the administrative of Pharaoh that 282 00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:38,530 they always thought that Hebrews were loathsome. 283 00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:42,570 I mean, his own servants wouldn't eat with him and he is 284 00:18:42,690 --> 00:18:47,690 the Prince of Egypt. Okay. 285 00:18:48,910 --> 00:18:50,830 So this is a serious thing we're talking about. 286 00:18:50,830 --> 00:18:54,030 We're talking about confidence. And I'm just, you know, with the 287 00:18:54,030 --> 00:18:55,790 wealth of the wickeds laid up for the righteous. 288 00:18:55,910 --> 00:18:58,110 And the reality is, is where is the righteous? 289 00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:01,710 I mean, we're treating righteousness like I asked. 290 00:19:01,710 --> 00:19:03,950 You to come into my heart and save me so when I die go to 291 00:19:03,950 --> 00:19:06,230 heaven. That's all righteousness is. 292 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:09,430 When the wealth of the wicked laid up for the righteous is the 293 00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:13,190 righteous hearing from heaven, being a confident leader on what 294 00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:18,350 they need to do to enact the Kingdom of God somewhere. 295 00:19:19,550 --> 00:19:25,710 And it will cause things to shift in their everyday life. 296 00:19:26,950 --> 00:19:29,150 So you got to know and act on the will of God first. 297 00:19:29,150 --> 00:19:31,150 John 514 and 15 says it this way. 298 00:19:31,150 --> 00:19:33,710 This is the confidence which we have before him, that if we ask 299 00:19:33,710 --> 00:19:36,470 anything according to his will, he hears us. 300 00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:41,150 And if we know that he hears us, and whatever we ask, we know 301 00:19:41,150 --> 00:19:46,150 that we have, we have the request which we have asked from 302 00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:49,680 him, we know we have it. I said we know we have it. 303 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,200 So this is the confidence, the assurance, this is the boldness 304 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,560 that we have before him, that if we're asking anything, Courtney 305 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520 his will, which means he told us what his will is. 306 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,240 We've heard that now we're telling him back what his will 307 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,620 is now, you said. Now you said, and when we say 308 00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:08,940 that, we're saying you said it. You're the king. 309 00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:10,420 You're the one who made that law. 310 00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:12,420 You're the one who said that this would come to pass. 311 00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:14,380 You're the one that said it would be this way. 312 00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:17,340 You're the one that said it would come out according to your 313 00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:19,900 word. And I'm only doing what your 314 00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:23,540 word says. And there's confidence there. 315 00:20:24,340 --> 00:20:27,060 Many people aren't healed because they're not confident 316 00:20:27,980 --> 00:20:31,220 that they'll be healed, although they know he can heal. 317 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,640 There's a difference. Same thing with prosperity, Same 318 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,000 thing with joy. Same thing with the restored 319 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,800 marriage. Same thing with restoration of 320 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,240 kids or relations. Same thing with promotions. 321 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,640 There's a lot of times we don't have the fortitude to stay 322 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,840 confident about it in order to see it come to pass. 323 00:20:57,130 --> 00:20:59,330 Because if we're going to lead, we're going to have to hear the 324 00:20:59,330 --> 00:21:02,810 voice of God, know his will, and then act on that thing. 325 00:21:03,610 --> 00:21:08,130 Hallelujah. Ephesians 312 says this, in whom 326 00:21:08,290 --> 00:21:13,330 we have boldness and access with confidence by faith, by the 327 00:21:13,330 --> 00:21:17,490 faith of him. So again, we have this 328 00:21:17,490 --> 00:21:20,490 confidence the minute we know the will of God and we know what 329 00:21:20,490 --> 00:21:22,410 to do, we're going to step out and do this thing. 330 00:21:22,850 --> 00:21:27,210 Because again, whatever he's asking, then he will back it. 331 00:21:28,450 --> 00:21:30,730 He'll back it. He'll perform it. 332 00:21:30,850 --> 00:21:33,490 But his performance is through you. 333 00:21:35,450 --> 00:21:39,730 I said it's through you. Can he perform just at your 334 00:21:39,730 --> 00:21:41,210 word? Yes. 335 00:21:41,490 --> 00:21:44,850 But he also cannot perform at your obedience to touch 336 00:21:44,850 --> 00:21:47,810 somebody. But it requires you to touch, 337 00:21:49,050 --> 00:21:50,490 you know. Again, you're somewhere. 338 00:21:50,490 --> 00:21:52,050 The Lord says go lay hands on them. 339 00:21:52,210 --> 00:21:55,880 I want to heal them. You know his will now be a 340 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,480 confident leader. Go act on the deal. 341 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,000 Well, but what if they don't get it? 342 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,520 See, you're not confident. You're not confident what you 343 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,160 just heard. You're not confident that 344 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,960 actually heals through the land on the hands. 345 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,760 You're questioning your doubt. Your insecurities are kicking 346 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,520 in. Well, you're not healing anybody 347 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,440 anyway. You're just acting on the known 348 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,200 will of God, right? But a lot of times. 349 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,040 Well, Lord, just heal them. I just pray you don't heal them 350 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,000 like you do it. You get all the glory. 351 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,360 I'm go get it all, son. You just touch them. 352 00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:26,010 I mean, I can get all the glory with you touching them. 353 00:22:27,050 --> 00:22:30,570 Amen. Because sometimes that's how God 354 00:22:30,570 --> 00:22:33,090 does it. Because he needs you to touch, 355 00:22:33,090 --> 00:22:35,970 Because he needs more than just a healing to occur. 356 00:22:36,890 --> 00:22:41,290 He needs a conversation to occur where your name is known and 357 00:22:41,290 --> 00:22:45,850 they know they can come back and talk to you because God has 358 00:22:45,850 --> 00:22:48,130 worked through. You in their life. 359 00:22:48,290 --> 00:22:54,860 But if they only know you exist. Are you hearing me? 360 00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:59,500 So this is important for us to have confidence, we must know 361 00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:01,620 and act on the will of God. The second thing is this. 362 00:23:01,620 --> 00:23:05,180 Maintain righteousness. Say, maintain righteousness. 363 00:23:05,180 --> 00:23:09,260 Do you know how much money people spend to go to leadership 364 00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:17,100 conferences, Ma Mama? I mean, you know, technically 365 00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:19,740 you're not getting it for free because I paid a price to know 366 00:23:19,740 --> 00:23:23,140 this. I'm just giving it, and then you 367 00:23:23,140 --> 00:23:27,140 don't technically get it. If you don't receive it, you can 368 00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:29,540 be in the room freely but freely miss it. 369 00:23:33,460 --> 00:23:39,060 Hallelujah. But the world is paying to hear 370 00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:40,700 the world's way of getting ahead. 371 00:23:42,060 --> 00:23:44,540 And the church is paying to get that leadership too. 372 00:23:45,380 --> 00:23:47,860 But they don't want to hear their own gods. 373 00:23:49,580 --> 00:23:52,380 Don't despise it, I said. Don't despise it. 374 00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:56,700 So we essentially for possession, confidence. 375 00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:58,780 One you have to know and act on the will of God #2. 376 00:23:58,780 --> 00:24:00,300 You have to maintain righteousness first. 377 00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:02,420 John 321. First, John 321. 378 00:24:04,540 --> 00:24:06,980 Beloved if our hearts, if our heart. 379 00:24:06,980 --> 00:24:11,940 Does not condemn us. We have what confidence before 380 00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:15,380 God? We'll say that again, Beloved. 381 00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:18,580 Now who's beloved? Who's the beloved? 382 00:24:19,580 --> 00:24:22,140 These are believers. This is not the lost. 383 00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:32,300 If our heart does not what? Condemn, Condemn. 384 00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:35,740 There's a lot of chatter that gets around between 2 words, 385 00:24:35,740 --> 00:24:43,780 conviction and condemnation. Yet here John first John, which 386 00:24:43,780 --> 00:24:47,460 is the apostle John who's known as the love apostle. 387 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,680 I mean this is doctor Love talking, and doctor love says 388 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,720 you can have something condemn you. 389 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,360 When you talk about conviction, we talk about condemn and I'll 390 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:09,720 preach on that later. It says, beloved, if our heart 391 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,720 does not condemn us, we have confidence before God, which 392 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:19,870 tells us if we're not living right, we can have a sense of 393 00:25:19,870 --> 00:25:24,990 condemnation among and us. Now the Holy Spirit didn't bring 394 00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:28,590 that. We brought it upon ourselves 395 00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:31,670 because we're not living righteously. 396 00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:37,950 Which means you can walk into a church where the majority of 397 00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:43,190 people are living righteous, the fellowships righteous, the 398 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:47,950 singing's righteous, the message is righteous and you're feeling 399 00:25:47,950 --> 00:25:51,110 horrible. And then leave and say that 400 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:55,470 church made me feel condemned. No, your heart did that. 401 00:25:58,070 --> 00:26:03,910 The church gave you the ability to be free because only you can 402 00:26:03,910 --> 00:26:12,110 get your heart right. Because if your heart condemns 403 00:26:12,110 --> 00:26:14,390 you, you're not going to have confidence. 404 00:26:14,770 --> 00:26:19,450 I mean it's look what's beloved. If our heart condemns us, not 405 00:26:20,250 --> 00:26:26,170 you see that if is a conditional statement, then so the condition 406 00:26:26,490 --> 00:26:28,450 is that our heart doesn't condemn us. 407 00:26:29,410 --> 00:26:33,530 And if that condition is met by a believer, then they'll have 408 00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:34,730 confidence. Where? 409 00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:41,230 Toward God. So what's the other implication? 410 00:26:41,630 --> 00:26:49,710 If your heart does condemn you, then what's the what will take 411 00:26:49,710 --> 00:26:53,590 place Then? You'll have no confidence toward 412 00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:56,110 God. You won't. 413 00:26:56,350 --> 00:26:58,590 You're not going to be confident at all. 414 00:26:59,550 --> 00:27:02,510 And again, it's your fix. This is what's so awesome. 415 00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:04,380 It's so awesome. Because guess what? 416 00:27:04,380 --> 00:27:06,780 You get to fix your heart. You don't have to have somebody 417 00:27:06,780 --> 00:27:08,060 forgive you to get your heart fixed. 418 00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:10,540 You don't have to have somebody to come to you and say, I'm 419 00:27:10,540 --> 00:27:12,340 sorry I wronged you to get your heart fixed. 420 00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:13,860 You get your heart fixed on your own. 421 00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,660 You can get your own heart fixed. 422 00:27:15,820 --> 00:27:18,340 You don't have to have all the bad things that ever happened in 423 00:27:18,340 --> 00:27:20,060 life. All the mistreatments, all the 424 00:27:20,660 --> 00:27:23,860 offenses, all the stuff that came your way to wait around to 425 00:27:23,860 --> 00:27:25,980 get your heart fixed. You can fix your own heart. 426 00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:31,420 Through your own, you know, confession, belief, release, all 427 00:27:31,420 --> 00:27:32,700 that. Now, I'm not saying they 428 00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:34,820 shouldn't come, It shouldn't take place. 429 00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:38,180 It would help in the realm of healing to a degree per se. 430 00:27:38,380 --> 00:27:41,540 But as far as you get in your heart, right, you control that. 431 00:27:43,140 --> 00:27:48,980 Because if somebody else could control it, then God could not 432 00:27:48,980 --> 00:27:51,980 be just. And if someone else could 433 00:27:51,980 --> 00:27:53,820 control it, don't you think God would? 434 00:27:59,350 --> 00:28:03,150 So you do. You do. 435 00:28:04,190 --> 00:28:05,670 And how do you know if your heart condemns you? 436 00:28:05,670 --> 00:28:09,830 Well, what situation are you in that all of a sudden something 437 00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:14,430 happens with you? I mean, you could be great, you 438 00:28:14,430 --> 00:28:18,030 know, about 100 people, but one other person walk in the room 439 00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:20,710 and there's a problem. Well, that's your heart. 440 00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:23,030 Condemning, saying something ain't right between you and 441 00:28:23,030 --> 00:28:25,600 them. You need to get that fixed now. 442 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,240 It could be you personally just need to get a fix. 443 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,760 You just need to let it go. It could be that you need to go 444 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,600 to them because he may have said didn't I tell you to go to them? 445 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,840 And you hadn't done it because you just wanted it to go away. 446 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,240 But it's the requirement because the King's called it now and now 447 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,160 you got to do what the king said if you want to give him freedom. 448 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,960 Because freedom comes because you do what the king says. 449 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,680 Not because you put it under a rug. 450 00:28:53,530 --> 00:29:00,770 Because a condemned heart becomes a hard heart and you 451 00:29:00,770 --> 00:29:04,290 lack confidence. Are you hearing me? 452 00:29:04,530 --> 00:29:06,250 And again, we're not talking arrogance. 453 00:29:07,010 --> 00:29:09,210 Oh, I'm. No, you ain't good. 454 00:29:09,530 --> 00:29:13,010 You're not good. You're not good because you have 455 00:29:13,010 --> 00:29:15,090 a problem with that person. That's the problem. 456 00:29:15,770 --> 00:29:21,170 You got to fix that because you're commanded, not suggested. 457 00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:29,270 To love the Brethren. All right, Hebrews 416. 458 00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:33,910 Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of 459 00:29:33,910 --> 00:29:39,470 grace, so that we may receive mercy and and find grace to help 460 00:29:39,470 --> 00:29:41,350 in the time of need. Now I'm doing some progression 461 00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:46,110 here intentionally. The first scripture lets us know 462 00:29:46,110 --> 00:29:47,550 if a heart. Does not condemn us. 463 00:29:47,550 --> 00:29:49,430 We're going to have confidence towards God. 464 00:29:49,630 --> 00:29:51,790 So if our heart condemns us, then we're never going to His 465 00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:54,760 throne because you are to go to His throne. 466 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,360 How? Let us draw near with what? 467 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,000 To the throne of grace. So if you don't have confidence 468 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,760 in confidence because of your heart issue, you can't come to 469 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,760 the throne, which means you're not going to receive mercy and 470 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:16,720 find grace to help you. Now you can say you're coming to 471 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,540 God, but you're not really coming to God because your 472 00:30:20,540 --> 00:30:23,340 heart's not in it. You really want God to do 473 00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:28,940 something? Many of us come to God like the 474 00:30:28,940 --> 00:30:32,740 Lord, like we're Lord. You need to do something about 475 00:30:32,740 --> 00:30:35,180 that. Then I'm here to serve you and 476 00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:37,580 you alone. Like that's what G is supposed 477 00:30:37,580 --> 00:30:39,580 to say. When G is like, well man, you 478 00:30:39,580 --> 00:30:42,940 need to check your heart because the grace that's surrounding 479 00:30:42,940 --> 00:30:45,220 this throne right here cannot come out to you. 480 00:30:51,010 --> 00:30:55,290 I mean, I got some grace for your situation, but I need you 481 00:30:55,290 --> 00:30:59,570 to get your heart right because confident leaders have to 482 00:30:59,570 --> 00:31:05,010 maintain righteousness. Righteousness in your spirit. 483 00:31:05,010 --> 00:31:08,050 Yes, Christ did that. Him and him alone. 484 00:31:08,170 --> 00:31:11,890 Your spirit man has been made righteous, but your soul realm 485 00:31:11,890 --> 00:31:14,570 whole. Another ball game and your soul 486 00:31:14,570 --> 00:31:17,370 realm can cloud up your spirit realm. 487 00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:23,630 You have to have fruits of righteousness. 488 00:31:23,910 --> 00:31:26,630 You have to practice righteousness. 489 00:31:28,350 --> 00:31:32,110 That's your responsibility. So if you're not maintaining 490 00:31:32,110 --> 00:31:37,990 righteousness, if you're not allowing what the Holy Spirit 491 00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:41,110 clearly would say to your righteous spirit on how to have 492 00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:43,950 no any situation, if you're not doing it that way, then you're 493 00:31:43,950 --> 00:31:46,510 not maintaining righteous because you're not reflecting 494 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,240 the righteousness you actually carry. 495 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,240 You're letting your unrenewed mind hinder. 496 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,080 Your righteousness being fruits being shown, the fruits of 497 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,240 righteousness being displayed. Are you hearing me? 498 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,320 OK, so if our heart's not right, then we're not going to have to 499 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,440 confor towards God, and we can only go to the throne of grace 500 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,630 with confidence. So we got to get that right. 501 00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:22,510 Now let's have that first John 28, first John 228, first John 502 00:32:22,510 --> 00:32:26,710 228 verse John 228. And now little children abide in 503 00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:31,030 him, that when he appears we may have confidence and not be 504 00:32:31,030 --> 00:32:32,750 ashamed before him at his coming. 505 00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:36,710 Now I do not have time to break this scripture down, but this is 506 00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:40,750 a problematic scripture, Very problematic. 507 00:32:42,390 --> 00:32:44,550 We have to what now, little children? 508 00:32:44,550 --> 00:32:51,150 What once we do, abide? Why didn't he just say now, 509 00:32:51,150 --> 00:33:00,830 little children, you're in him. Yes, Hallelujah. 510 00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:06,550 We abide in him. That's a conscious choice every 511 00:33:06,550 --> 00:33:10,300 day, every day to keep our heart right so we maintain confidence. 512 00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:12,460 That way when we get in any situation, we can confidently go 513 00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:14,980 before the throwing of grace. We receive mercy. 514 00:33:15,020 --> 00:33:17,740 Mercy is like, how in the world we going to overcome this deal 515 00:33:17,740 --> 00:33:19,580 right here and give me grace to do it? 516 00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:23,420 And we do. That way we're always 517 00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:26,180 maintaining this righteous that when he comes, we're not going 518 00:33:26,180 --> 00:33:29,010 there. No shame about us because we 519 00:33:29,010 --> 00:33:33,650 abide in the vine. The fruit is manifesting when 520 00:33:33,650 --> 00:33:36,210 pruning season comes. Cut it off and let me bear more 521 00:33:36,210 --> 00:33:39,250 fruit the next one, because I'm gonna abide in the vine. 522 00:33:39,330 --> 00:33:43,290 I abide in you. I do what you say I I yield. 523 00:33:43,290 --> 00:33:45,930 Where you say yield, I forgive. Or you say forgive. 524 00:33:46,050 --> 00:33:48,290 I jump. Where you say jump, I I run. 525 00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:50,810 Where you say run, I sing. Where you say sing. 526 00:33:50,890 --> 00:33:53,130 I raise my hand. Where you say raise my hands. 527 00:33:53,370 --> 00:33:56,290 I mean I do it. I had this salt actually when I 528 00:33:56,290 --> 00:33:58,380 was. Worshipping, because I was 529 00:33:58,380 --> 00:34:01,580 freely worshipping my hands, you know, and I just had a picture 530 00:34:01,580 --> 00:34:06,300 of someone standing in front of me, you know, and and I thought, 531 00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:10,460 you know, I wonder if I went around and just started standing 532 00:34:10,460 --> 00:34:14,620 in front of everybody, could they just worship? 533 00:34:17,420 --> 00:34:20,620 I could probably identify how quick you're in the room. 534 00:34:22,420 --> 00:34:25,580 Well, let's just raise our hands together and some be like. 535 00:34:27,469 --> 00:34:28,830 And I find that you're in the room. 536 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:35,790 I find your rebellion because you don't want to be told what 537 00:34:35,790 --> 00:34:42,270 to do. I'm telling you, as your pastor, 538 00:34:42,270 --> 00:34:43,710 I know more about you than you think. 539 00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:48,150 Actually, I actually know your buttons. 540 00:34:49,110 --> 00:34:51,510 I know what I could say that would get you in the flesh like 541 00:34:51,510 --> 00:35:00,440 that. Because if it's there, it can be 542 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,400 tapped. But when you're dead, it can't 543 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,960 be because others I know. I don't know if I could find it. 544 00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,640 The only way I'd find it is because they let themselves get 545 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,280 somewhere and I hadn't seen them there in a very long time. 546 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,160 Everybody can go to the flesh, I understand that. 547 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:25,000 But some are living in it and you could just come push that 548 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,200 button and boom. Ask yourself the question right 549 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,600 now. Is there something that someone 550 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,680 could do that I'd be like? And if there is, you need a 551 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:41,040 repent because somebody say something about your kids and 552 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,120 you get mad because if they can, you need a repent. 553 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:51,360 I said you need a repent. Now, I'm not saying that you're 554 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,480 not going to defend your kids, you know? 555 00:35:53,910 --> 00:35:59,510 But at the end of the day, for you to get fleshy over it and 556 00:35:59,510 --> 00:36:01,190 what if your kids are actually doing that? 557 00:36:03,150 --> 00:36:06,670 You got to be mature enough to say, yeah, I'm praying for them. 558 00:36:06,670 --> 00:36:10,870 Because let me tell you, you're not the only one who gets to 559 00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:13,590 know their junk. Because when they're messing up, 560 00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:17,710 everybody knows their junk. All right? 561 00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:22,030 Just say am in anyway. I say this because this is an 562 00:36:22,030 --> 00:36:26,420 issue now. It's very simple. 563 00:36:26,620 --> 00:36:30,260 This is extremely simple that you just get your heart right. 564 00:36:31,260 --> 00:36:34,140 It's not hard. It is easier to get your heart 565 00:36:34,140 --> 00:36:35,540 right than to not get your heart right. 566 00:36:36,180 --> 00:36:37,980 It's easier. I mean, we've. 567 00:36:37,980 --> 00:36:40,020 Warped this deal like it's so hard if I. 568 00:36:40,020 --> 00:36:43,540 No, He put his spirit in us, George. 569 00:36:44,260 --> 00:36:46,380 He made your spirit just like him. 570 00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:50,100 George, there's no excuse for you. 571 00:36:50,140 --> 00:36:53,740 Ever to be fleshly. It's easier for you to be 572 00:36:53,740 --> 00:36:55,620 spiritual. It's just easier. 573 00:36:56,900 --> 00:36:59,340 Absolutely. No, I'm not saying George is 574 00:36:59,340 --> 00:37:02,780 that. I just called his name out when 575 00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:04,380 everybody like, what's wrong with George? 576 00:37:04,380 --> 00:37:07,620 I'm not saying anything's wrong with George. 577 00:37:08,420 --> 00:37:10,860 I just know George and he could handle me saying that. 578 00:37:11,140 --> 00:37:13,500 Plus, he's an usher. And if you're an usher, I'm 579 00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:16,980 going to call your name out. You're you're usually closer. 580 00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:19,660 You know, I talk enough about my wife as it is. 581 00:37:19,660 --> 00:37:21,740 We try not to use her as an example. 582 00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:24,100 Please don't talk about me. I won't talk about you. 583 00:37:26,220 --> 00:37:28,980 So again now little children are by to me that when he appears 584 00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:32,060 you may have confidence and not ashamed because again I, I, I'm, 585 00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:35,740 I'm concerned. There is a lot of people that 586 00:37:35,740 --> 00:37:39,500 think that if Jesus literally showed up, they'd be like. 587 00:37:40,620 --> 00:37:45,780 Whoo. I'm telling you things that 588 00:37:45,780 --> 00:37:49,660 aren't right. You won't run, you'll hide. 589 00:37:50,940 --> 00:37:54,020 And with perfection and glory and pure holiness gets in your 590 00:37:54,020 --> 00:37:57,620 presence. I'm telling you. 591 00:37:58,260 --> 00:38:01,380 And we all going to bow, period. That's just going to happen. 592 00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:04,460 Ain't nobody going up and say, bro, that ain't happening. 593 00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:07,980 You're not doing it. Jesus is not your homeboy. 594 00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:12,460 He's your king. I said he's your king, all 595 00:38:12,460 --> 00:38:14,460 right. Now if he tells you this is your 596 00:38:14,580 --> 00:38:17,380 secret handshake and he gives it to you, then you go right ahead. 597 00:38:17,730 --> 00:38:18,730 But don't you go in there. Lead. 598 00:38:18,770 --> 00:38:20,650 Yo, bro, What's up? I've been waiting on you. 599 00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:27,210 No, no, it's it's not going to look like that. 600 00:38:29,130 --> 00:38:30,330 It's not going to look like that. 601 00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:37,970 No #3 me wind these down. Essentials for possessing 602 00:38:37,970 --> 00:38:39,370 confidence. Number one, no one act on the 603 00:38:39,370 --> 00:38:41,210 will of God #2 maintain righteousness. 604 00:38:41,210 --> 00:38:43,930 Y'all doing all right. You know, I mean, I can preach, 605 00:38:44,010 --> 00:38:45,730 but I can also teach when I need to. 606 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,880 And at the end of the day, we need some leaders out there #3. 607 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,280 Develop endurance. You got to develop endurance. 608 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,120 James 1-2 and four, you can't be a confident leader until you 609 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:02,200 develop some endurance. James 1234 says consider it all 610 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,360 joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials knowing 611 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,520 that the testing of your faith produces endurance, and let 612 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,840 endurance and let endurance have its perfect results so that you 613 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,400 may be perfect. Now that doesn't mean 614 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,400 perfection. That means mature. 615 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,600 And God expects us to mature that you may be perfect and 616 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:27,640 complete, lacking in in nothing. So again, tests that come 617 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,160 against what God says as a confident leader. 618 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,960 When you know God's will and you're standing and acting on 619 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,960 it, and you're maintaining your righteous, your heart's right. 620 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,730 You're judging every situation, every count, every encounter, 621 00:39:41,730 --> 00:39:44,050 everything. That said, you know I got to 622 00:39:44,050 --> 00:39:47,050 make sure my heart's right in this deal so I can confidently 623 00:39:47,050 --> 00:39:49,410 go before the throne of God because I'm not going to be 624 00:39:49,410 --> 00:39:52,250 ashamed when he shows up. And when these conflicts come, 625 00:39:52,410 --> 00:39:54,330 I'm going to stand on this thing, period. 626 00:39:54,450 --> 00:39:58,050 And it's going to be this way. There is no Plan B to what I 627 00:39:58,050 --> 00:40:01,050 know he has said and what he is saying, because I'm always 628 00:40:01,050 --> 00:40:04,890 listening. I'm just listening and I will do 629 00:40:04,890 --> 00:40:06,810 what he says. Period. 630 00:40:07,380 --> 00:40:11,620 Then it develops an endurance in you that brings about maturity 631 00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:14,300 that you're like wow. And let me tell you, God doesn't 632 00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:18,220 have problem with it looking like chaos around you because 633 00:40:18,220 --> 00:40:20,340 you'll look like peace in the middle of it. 634 00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:24,140 And then he'll show out, show up, and all the ones that were 635 00:40:24,140 --> 00:40:30,940 the naysayers and came, cannot. Deny that you have what you 636 00:40:30,940 --> 00:40:34,620 said. Are you hearing me? 637 00:40:35,180 --> 00:40:39,440 Cannot deny it. At the end of the day, and 638 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,560 honestly, I think there's some things we need to talk about a 639 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,360 little bit more so that when they come to pass, you'll 640 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,120 remember they were said. I mean, we already know as far 641 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,400 as Anchor Faith Church as a church body, we've been saying 642 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,640 for years we would buy them all. Well, has it happened? 643 00:40:52,580 --> 00:40:56,180 And there's plenty that didn't know, didn't think, didn't stay 644 00:40:56,180 --> 00:40:58,540 long enough to. But are we in it? 645 00:40:59,060 --> 00:41:02,860 Are we doing it? And we didn't have to have 5000 646 00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:05,300 to accomplish the task. We just needed to have a word 647 00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:09,260 from God, have the endurance, keep our hearts pure and move 648 00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:11,180 forward. Period. 649 00:41:11,620 --> 00:41:17,390 That's all you got to do. That's all you got to do and 650 00:41:17,390 --> 00:41:20,590 you'll have situations in your life where people won't think 651 00:41:20,710 --> 00:41:23,750 that you'll do or whatever. And if you're really with God, 652 00:41:23,870 --> 00:41:28,630 then you're going to rise to the occasion because when you 653 00:41:28,750 --> 00:41:30,990 declared it before it came to pass. 654 00:41:31,270 --> 00:41:33,350 So what I love about getting around Pastor Roddy and Pastor 655 00:41:33,350 --> 00:41:36,630 Kenneth every time we talked, he said, Remember back in 2015 when 656 00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:38,830 we danced in your Because they always go back. 657 00:41:38,910 --> 00:41:42,830 We were dancing this thing in long before it ever came to pass 658 00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:46,630 because that's faith talking. And you got to have those 659 00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:49,110 moments. You got to be a declare. 660 00:41:49,110 --> 00:41:52,030 Those things. Amen. 661 00:41:52,750 --> 00:41:55,670 Just like when Bishop Garraway was here and he said, you know, 662 00:41:56,150 --> 00:42:00,470 prophesied over me that my voice, my name, would be in the 663 00:42:00,470 --> 00:42:04,510 halls of power in the governor's mansion. 664 00:42:05,310 --> 00:42:08,710 I had a meeting with the pastor. Anila, you here? 665 00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:10,670 Stand up, please. Pastor Angie, we stand up. 666 00:42:10,670 --> 00:42:12,550 We went and met with this pastor. 667 00:42:12,550 --> 00:42:15,710 We had lunch with him. He's up in Jacksonville and he 668 00:42:15,710 --> 00:42:18,510 wanted to meet with us. Well, met with Anila first or at 669 00:42:18,510 --> 00:42:21,990 the county and then heard what, you know, she was doing because 670 00:42:21,990 --> 00:42:27,590 he's blown away that 25, She's 25 and she comes to the county 671 00:42:27,590 --> 00:42:31,110 Commission meetings and just like why is she here? 672 00:42:31,110 --> 00:42:35,190 And then when she said, well, I do this for my pastor because we 673 00:42:35,190 --> 00:42:38,950 want to stay informed now they're blown away that she does 674 00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:44,890 and she has a full time job that she runs a business plus works 675 00:42:44,890 --> 00:42:49,970 with us at the school and used to go to college and do that as 676 00:42:49,970 --> 00:42:52,210 well, right. Are you still doing you're doing 677 00:42:52,210 --> 00:42:55,650 college now, Actually, yes. She's working on her Master 678 00:42:55,650 --> 00:42:57,690 right now. She does all this, you say, 679 00:42:57,690 --> 00:42:59,690 well, how does she have time? It's called management. 680 00:43:01,570 --> 00:43:06,010 That's what it's called anyway. So she sets the meeting up. 681 00:43:06,010 --> 00:43:08,810 We meet with this individual and the individual says, well, I was 682 00:43:08,810 --> 00:43:10,970 wanting to meet with you because I just want you to know. 683 00:43:10,970 --> 00:43:14,520 Pastor Earl, I was in Tallahassee when I heard your 684 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,880 name. They were talking about what you 685 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,200 were doing. Well, now the prophecy of Bishop 686 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,600 is coming to pass. Is that what he said? 687 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,760 Is that what he said? You can be seated now. 688 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,800 This ain't me. This is our assignment because 689 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,160 the other if we read the Bible, especially in the days we are 690 00:43:39,860 --> 00:43:44,340 people in government, should be preached to talking to the ones 691 00:43:44,660 --> 00:43:49,140 who hear from heaven. Now you can be a born again 692 00:43:49,140 --> 00:43:50,620 believer in hear from heaven all by yourself. 693 00:43:50,660 --> 00:43:54,180 I get that. But that doesn't mean that the 694 00:43:54,180 --> 00:43:59,180 sector of society called his church should not have influence 695 00:44:00,020 --> 00:44:02,700 or have conversation with those that are in government. 696 00:44:03,340 --> 00:44:04,980 Because we are the ultimate government. 697 00:44:04,980 --> 00:44:08,860 We're the Kingdom of God and our mountains outgrow in everybody. 698 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,760 Amen. Then my wife from another lady 699 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:15,960 that came during our Rayma meeting. 700 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,160 She was from now. Bishop Garraway's from Trinidad, 701 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,160 Tobago. She's from Zambia and she told 702 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,920 my. She says your husband is about 703 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:32,280 to be thrust into government and that his voice is going to be 704 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,880 heard and they're going to listen to it. 705 00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:40,820 Wow, What's that mean? Now I'm telling you that. 706 00:44:40,820 --> 00:44:50,060 So when it happens. Because when it happens, because 707 00:44:50,060 --> 00:44:54,620 you know what? God wants the world to know his 708 00:44:54,620 --> 00:45:00,620 position. He wants to know. 709 00:45:02,540 --> 00:45:07,560 In fact, the advisor to our governor today literally 710 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,000 introduced Anila because she went to another conference, the 711 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,680 head of DCF, and said there's no organization doing more in their 712 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,360 community than Anchor Faith Church. 713 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,640 And he is in the whole state of Florida now. 714 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,160 You understand when he says that that's because we do West. 715 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,730 Augustine we do Dining with Dignity, we do. 716 00:45:31,730 --> 00:45:35,170 Osceola, we do. Philagler College we do. 717 00:45:35,170 --> 00:45:37,610 We do not. I do, We do. 718 00:45:38,090 --> 00:45:40,970 We've all bought into this culture because we're 719 00:45:40,970 --> 00:45:45,450 cultivating confidence as leaders to lead in our community 720 00:45:45,650 --> 00:45:51,890 by doing the exploits of God. Amen. 721 00:45:52,610 --> 00:45:57,610 And we're crossing cultural lines, economic lines, social 722 00:45:57,610 --> 00:46:01,300 lines. Because the Kingdom does that. 723 00:46:02,140 --> 00:46:05,260 Hallelujah, man. You would want to be a part of 724 00:46:05,260 --> 00:46:12,460 this, not sit on the sideline. Luke Chapter 21, verse 12 says 725 00:46:12,460 --> 00:46:15,220 this. By your endurance, you will gain 726 00:46:15,340 --> 00:46:18,940 your lives. I'm telling you right now, you 727 00:46:18,940 --> 00:46:23,180 might as well buckle in for endurance because endurance 728 00:46:23,180 --> 00:46:28,540 never ends, Paul said. Demos has left me. 729 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,520 Well, Demis used to run with him. 730 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:39,880 Demis saw the exploits, saw the power of God, saw the move of 731 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:45,360 God. The Demis has left me because 732 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,440 he's fallen to the cares of the world. 733 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,440 So you're not guaranteed you'll stay unless you choose to abide 734 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,660 and endure. So I'll go back to Pastor Darryl 735 00:46:59,660 --> 00:47:01,180 Huffman's comment, and I love it, he said. 736 00:47:01,260 --> 00:47:03,380 When I got born again, I got born again for life. 737 00:47:04,380 --> 00:47:05,740 I'm just going to serve him forever. 738 00:47:06,140 --> 00:47:08,740 This wasn't when I'm going to serve him till the first offense 739 00:47:08,740 --> 00:47:11,460 to the first, you know, disappointment till the 1st. 740 00:47:11,740 --> 00:47:14,660 You know, God didn't do what I told asked him to do because I 741 00:47:14,660 --> 00:47:16,700 was ignorant that he wasn't going to do it that way anyway. 742 00:47:16,700 --> 00:47:21,860 But I'm blaming him now. Are you hearing me? 743 00:47:22,940 --> 00:47:26,220 Endurance. Endurance will gain your lives. 744 00:47:26,220 --> 00:47:29,040 And the last one, number four. Essential for possessing 745 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,840 confidence, know and act on the will of God #1 #2 maintain 746 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,640 rights. This number three develop in 747 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:38,440 Durst #4 glorify the Lord. You got to glorify the Lord. 748 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,840 Romans 420 says this. Yet with respect to the promise 749 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,320 of God, he did not waver an unbelief, but grew strong in 750 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,720 faith, giving glory to God and being fully assured that what 751 00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:54,360 God had promised, he was able also to. 752 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,660 Perform. Are you hearing me? 753 00:47:58,380 --> 00:48:01,580 This is what I love about. I'll give you an example of all 754 00:48:01,580 --> 00:48:04,820 three of these. And then it goes to #4. 755 00:48:04,820 --> 00:48:08,100 And his name's David. His name's David. 756 00:48:09,060 --> 00:48:11,980 David knew and acted on the will of God. 757 00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:18,220 He maintained his righteousness. Okay, he was a man after God's 758 00:48:18,220 --> 00:48:23,820 own heart. He developed endurance out in 759 00:48:23,820 --> 00:48:26,610 the shepherd field, developed endurance. 760 00:48:26,730 --> 00:48:31,490 So when he walked out to feed his brothers at war and heard 761 00:48:31,490 --> 00:48:37,410 what the Goliath said, he knew the word, he knew the known will 762 00:48:37,410 --> 00:48:39,810 of God. He obviously had the anointing, 763 00:48:40,650 --> 00:48:43,330 and that anointing kicked in. And he says who is this 764 00:48:43,330 --> 00:48:47,250 uncircumcised Philistine? But notice when he went down to 765 00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:50,490 the Philistine, did he go down arrogantly? 766 00:48:51,370 --> 00:48:53,250 No, he did not. But he sure to have went down 767 00:48:53,250 --> 00:48:56,250 with confidence. He told the king confidently. 768 00:48:56,250 --> 00:48:59,370 King saw, He said, listen, I've killed the lion and the bear. 769 00:48:59,490 --> 00:49:02,170 This, this Philistine is going to be no different. 770 00:49:03,130 --> 00:49:06,530 That's not arrogance talking, that's confidence. 771 00:49:07,450 --> 00:49:09,610 Because I know and will act on the will of God. 772 00:49:09,610 --> 00:49:13,090 The will of God is. No uncircumcised nation can come 773 00:49:13,090 --> 00:49:16,290 against God's nation. I mean, he is talking. 774 00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:19,650 He is blaspheming. God is not going to put up with 775 00:49:19,650 --> 00:49:21,390 that stuff. Because that's what the 776 00:49:21,390 --> 00:49:24,190 anointing would do to your life. And you're saying, not only we 777 00:49:24,190 --> 00:49:26,990 have the anointing in us, we have God in us and the anointing 778 00:49:26,990 --> 00:49:28,630 upon us. David just had the anointing 779 00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:30,630 upon him. And if the anointing upon him 780 00:49:30,630 --> 00:49:34,550 called him to say, my gosh, man, it can't be this way, then how 781 00:49:34,550 --> 00:49:38,710 come we ain't talking like that? If you are truly anointed by the 782 00:49:38,710 --> 00:49:44,950 Spirit of God, who is this to have that kind of confidence 783 00:49:44,950 --> 00:49:48,710 against the things of the world? So when he gets down there, he 784 00:49:48,710 --> 00:49:50,750 wasn't a cocky little shepherd boy. 785 00:49:51,710 --> 00:49:55,110 He's like, you come with me with a sword and a spear, but I'm 786 00:49:55,110 --> 00:49:58,430 come to you in the name of the Lord that's glorifying God. 787 00:49:59,030 --> 00:50:03,350 I am going to cut your head off, kill you and everybody behind 788 00:50:03,390 --> 00:50:05,230 you. That was the arrogant. 789 00:50:05,870 --> 00:50:09,790 No, that was confidence talking. Because glorify. 790 00:50:09,830 --> 00:50:12,750 He gave God the glory. You come with me with a spear 791 00:50:12,750 --> 00:50:15,350 and a sword, but I'm coming to you in the name of the Lord. 792 00:50:15,630 --> 00:50:18,230 That's why I'm down here. I know you don't think nothing 793 00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:20,350 about my size. I understand what you just 794 00:50:20,350 --> 00:50:21,950 called me, but that don't move me. 795 00:50:21,990 --> 00:50:24,430 Because you don't move me because I've heard from the 796 00:50:24,430 --> 00:50:28,070 king. And I'm gonna cut your head off, 797 00:50:28,070 --> 00:50:30,910 bro. And that's speaking faith, 798 00:50:30,910 --> 00:50:36,340 because he don't even have a sword, so he's already 799 00:50:36,340 --> 00:50:38,700 eyeballing the other one. He's looking at the enemy's 800 00:50:38,700 --> 00:50:41,620 weapons, saying I'm fixing to use that against you and you 801 00:50:41,620 --> 00:50:45,900 don't even know it. He He literally tells God, I'm 802 00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:46,940 going to take the sword in your own. 803 00:50:46,940 --> 00:50:54,980 Hand and cut your head off, because God will take what the 804 00:50:54,980 --> 00:50:58,100 devil has meant for bad and turn it for good for those who love 805 00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:03,010 him and are called according to his purpose, that no weapon 806 00:51:03,010 --> 00:51:05,530 formed against the church will prosper. 807 00:51:05,650 --> 00:51:09,450 The hill calls what the enemy set up for you that they will it 808 00:51:09,450 --> 00:51:13,250 become a snare to them. And all through our history. 809 00:51:13,250 --> 00:51:17,410 But we see where what the enemy set up to destroy God uses it 810 00:51:17,410 --> 00:51:19,330 back on the enemy to destroy them. 811 00:51:19,370 --> 00:51:23,090 All they did was a confident leader who knows and acts on the 812 00:51:23,090 --> 00:51:26,650 will of God, who maintain their righteousness, who will develop 813 00:51:26,650 --> 00:51:28,730 endurance and will give God the glory. 814 00:51:29,490 --> 00:51:32,880 Hallelujah. And Daniel 1132. 815 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,280 The latter part of this verse is this, but the people who know 816 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,600 their God will display strength and take action. 817 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,160 The new King James says, do great exploits. 818 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,960 God did not put you in the earth in this season and this time and 819 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:54,520 all that's going on globally for you to sit back passively and 820 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,610 wait to go to heaven. Know what he did is he put you 821 00:51:57,610 --> 00:52:01,130 in the earth so that you could take the lead in any sector 822 00:52:01,130 --> 00:52:06,730 society you're in and show the exploits of God. 823 00:52:09,610 --> 00:52:12,290 Hallelujah to do that so we don't undermine anything. 824 00:52:12,290 --> 00:52:14,770 I don't undermine the Treasure Harbor preschool. 825 00:52:14,850 --> 00:52:17,330 Why does God want us to have a business? 826 00:52:17,710 --> 00:52:19,350 Why can't I just preach? Why? 827 00:52:19,350 --> 00:52:22,910 Because I need to raise up a generation of kids that I can 828 00:52:22,910 --> 00:52:26,190 put a seed in. Because if they don't go on to 829 00:52:26,190 --> 00:52:29,750 Washington, I've at least invested in those first years. 830 00:52:29,870 --> 00:52:34,350 The word of the king. I've given the king something to 831 00:52:34,350 --> 00:52:37,030 go back to. But if they go on to Washington, 832 00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:42,640 oh, watch out now. So no parents know this. 833 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,640 We're only driving the flesh out and pulling the spirit in. 834 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,120 We're trying to raise up confident leaders. 835 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:57,640 Yeah, because the generation today, they got to watch video 836 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,120 games and TikTok. I mean our next generation 837 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:10,820 leaders watch TikTok hours. Ours. 838 00:53:12,220 --> 00:53:14,340 No. This generation coming up, if we 839 00:53:14,340 --> 00:53:17,580 don't do something and the majority are going to prove it, 840 00:53:17,700 --> 00:53:20,100 we're going to fall right into the hands of the Antichrist. 841 00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:24,540 So what they're going to do, But we're against the grain because 842 00:53:24,540 --> 00:53:26,860 we're not of this world. I said we're not out of this 843 00:53:26,860 --> 00:53:28,780 world. We're not out of this world. 844 00:53:29,220 --> 00:53:32,020 And so we're raising people up to not be of this world. 845 00:53:32,900 --> 00:53:36,360 Hallelujah. So don't go to work tomorrow and 846 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,640 say, well, that's just my job. No, no, it's not your job. 847 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,800 It's your assignment to be an ambassador and the rise to the 848 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,720 layer to the level of massive influence. 849 00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,120 You may never get promoted, but it doesn't mean that they won't 850 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:59,180 know that you're the leader. Because this is not about your 851 00:53:59,180 --> 00:54:01,820 promotion in the world standpoint. 852 00:54:01,820 --> 00:54:04,740 It's about your leadership when it comes to things of the 853 00:54:04,740 --> 00:54:07,460 Kingdom. And they'll recognize, and 854 00:54:07,460 --> 00:54:10,060 you'll get persecuted for it, and they'll hate you for it, and 855 00:54:10,060 --> 00:54:11,900 they'll cuss about you and they'll stab you in the. 856 00:54:12,180 --> 00:54:16,060 But that's all right, because if God can get the wage back to 857 00:54:16,060 --> 00:54:17,860 Layman, he'll get it back to you. 858 00:54:18,300 --> 00:54:21,360 Good measure. Press down, shake it together 859 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,600 and run it over. I mean, what problem do you 860 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,080 have? You don't even have a problem 861 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,200 because you're the child of the king. 862 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:31,080 Stand up, say I am. I'm going to do offerings, so 863 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:39,080 please don't freak out. Say I am a child of God and I 864 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:43,720 will be a confident.
