00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,400
Thanks for checking out the 
anchor Faith. 

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,800
Message podcast from st. 
Augustine, Florida. 

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:22,900
Now, enjoy this message. 
Turn over to Romans 11:29. 

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
I'm sure some of you are already
hitting the stores because 

5
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,300
Christmas is coming. 
All right, and I'm not a - 

6
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,700
Christmas guy, right? 
I mean I love Jesus. 

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,000
I'm not a big fan of the 
commercialization that has that 

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,300
occurs and I'm not a fan of the 
pressure that is put on 

9
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:50,200
households to purchase gifts and
to help get companies out of 

10
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:54,300
their deficit, you know? 
So all the real cells show up on

11
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,500
the 26th, you know, so if you 
can handle a little, you know, 

12
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,100
not Feeling bad about yourself, 
you know, you should. 

13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,200
If you're if you need to budget 
yourself better, you should just

14
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,700
get your kids cards and say 
tomorrow. 

15
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,400
You get to pick your stuff out. 
I'm taking you to the Big Box 

16
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,500
store and we're going to unwrap 
it together and go find the Real

17
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:23,800
Deals, right? 
Because if I get you something 

18
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,600
now it would be less, right? 
So at the end of the day, you 

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,700
know, all of that takes place 
and you know, some people 

20
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:35,600
households, you know, they 
celebrate another guy and you 

21
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,800
know and they don't want us to 
talk about that guy but at the 

22
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,100
end of the day, most of them 
don't treat their children. 

23
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:45,600
Like the guy would treat their 
kids. 

24
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:54,500
AIDS because he checks lists 
twice to determine and some of 

25
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:56,600
your kids should not get 
presents. 

26
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,900
Let's just be honest, we are 
rewarding not Enos and that God 

27
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:10,100
doesn't is not supposed to do 
that. 

28
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:17,100
So even though I'm looking 
around making sure I'll handle 

29
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,300
because if I'm looking for kids,
really, I got one. 

30
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:33,000
Okay, so the bottom line is, 
make sure you represent 

31
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,800
correctly because I'm just 
thinking of all the kids. 

32
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,900
Now, says, it doesn't matter. 
I be bad. 

33
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:43,800
He's still showing up. 
Well, I'm glad Jesus is 

34
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,500
different. 
Amen. 

35
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,700
So I'll stop there. 
Amen, the Lord's good. 

36
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,200
All right, Romans 11:29 on. 
Talk about some gifts tonight. 

37
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,400
I have some presence here. 
I'll give them away, actually. 

38
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,200
So Romans 11. 
I'm feeling generous for the 

39
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,000
gifts and the calling of God are
irrevocable. 

40
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:10,300
Romans 11:29, the gifts for the 
gifts, and the calling of God 

41
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:12,500
are irrevocable now. 
SRI, this in the Amplified. 

42
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:14,200
So we understand what this being
said, here. 

43
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,200
A little bit better since for 
God's. 

44
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,700
Gifts, and his call are 
irrevocable. 

45
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:23,500
He never withdrawals them. 
When once they are given and he 

46
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,600
does not change his mind about 
those to whom. 

47
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,900
He has given his grace, or to 
whom he sends his call in 

48
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:34,200
essence. 
What this means is before, you 

49
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,700
were in your mother's womb, God 
knew you and knew your purpose 

50
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:42,200
and knew why he was placing you 
in the planet. 

51
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,200
So the manufacturer of your 
life. 

52
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:52,000
Knows why you're here and what 
you should be doing, how you 

53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400
should be functioning and he's 
not changed his mind about that.

54
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,800
Now, when it says the gifts and 
callings are God, are 

55
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,700
irrevocable or one translation 
says without repentance 

56
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:04,500
repentance, which is not a 
religious word, it just means 

57
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:07,600
change your thinking. 
If you, if you refuse to learn 

58
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,200
who you are, it doesn't change 
who God wants you to be. 

59
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,500
And at the end of the day, we 
don't have time to exhaust this 

60
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:22,300
truth. 
But there is a book, Psalm says 

61
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,300
that he has pinned, my life in 
the book, every day. 

62
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Before it was ever I ever 
arrived, was tells me, God has a

63
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,800
plan for you. 
He has this autobiography of 

64
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,900
your life that if you would obey
his voice in a match his pages, 

65
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,400
but you will write your own 
book. 

66
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,000
And in turn when you stand 
before the Lord, he's going to 

67
00:04:48,008 --> 00:04:51,900
compare your written book to 
his. 

68
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,500
Because if you get the pages, 
he's written they match. 

69
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:01,300
The rewards are amazing. 
But if they don't match up, 

70
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:04,500
that's the problem. 
I said that's a problem and it 

71
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:07,500
cannot match up so much so that 
you don't even get in the 

72
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,600
Kingdom. 
Now, what do I mean by that 

73
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,400
you've never made Jesus the Lord
of your life, you can write a 

74
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,100
whole book of your life and it 
be nothing. 

75
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:22,100
In the realm of God. 
In fact, the Bible even says, 

76
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:25,600
there are many autobiographies 
written in the earth of great 

77
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,200
success. 
But every books of failure, why 

78
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000
cause what good is it a man to 
gain the whole world and what 

79
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,500
forfeit his soul? 
so, the world sees them as 

80
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,700
bestselling novels, but the Lord
sees them as loss because they 

81
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:46,700
never became the gift they were 
They never were. 

82
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,900
Alright, so the most important 
thing you can do is discover 

83
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:54,200
yourself. 
Now, it can't become a 

84
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,100
self-discovery. 
Meaning you try to figure it out

85
00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:57,900
on your own. 
Got to? 

86
00:05:57,908 --> 00:06:00,700
Let me go find myself. 
Okay, there's only one way to 

87
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:03,700
really find you and that is to 
get lost in him. 

88
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:07,400
So if you're going to get found,
you got to get lost. 

89
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:11,900
Right, that's Kingdom. 
It's a paradox. 

90
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,600
So in order to find yourself, 
you're gonna have to lose 

91
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,300
yourself. 
Because when you lose yourself, 

92
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:21,500
you'll find yourself because you
must be lost in Christ because 

93
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,700
you were always destined to be a
child of God. 

94
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:27,600
And the only way to be a child 
of God is to become, is to 

95
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,700
believe that. 
Jesus Christ came died. 

96
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:31,300
On the cross, Rose from the 
grave. 

97
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,600
You recognize that you cannot 
live up to the standard of Godly

98
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,600
living because you're incapable 
base. 

99
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:42,400
It upon sin, all right, things 
against what God is saying, but 

100
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,300
when you repent, when you accept
the sacrifice of Jesus blood, 

101
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:49,800
then you become a new creature 
in Christ. 

102
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:54,900
Now, you the old you has died, 
has is separated that Spirit on 

103
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:56,300
the inside. 
That's dead to God. 

104
00:06:56,300 --> 00:07:01,300
And can't hear him leaves this 
Earth suit and a new one comes 

105
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:04,400
and takes residents. 
Then the holy spirit will come 

106
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,200
and bear witness with your 
spirit. 

107
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,400
You are a child of God. 
And Then take you on a path of 

108
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,400
Discovery. 
This is why you were born in the

109
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,600
first place. 
Now, if you're a little older 

110
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,600
right now, you're thinking, wow,
I've lost a lot of times, it's 

111
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,600
amazing how the Holy Spirit can 
speed things up. 

112
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,700
If you'll listen, he can get you
back on track that the first, 

113
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:30,600
you know, ten chapters of your 
life, can become null and void. 

114
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:34,600
Because, see, when you get in 
Christ, then those chapters are 

115
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,300
erased and we start a new 
chapter. 

116
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:43,200
Chapter 1, and if we can finish 
the book of your life, if we'll 

117
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,600
follow the Holy Ghost. 
Amen. 

118
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:51,500
So gifts are directly connected 
to the call or your purpose. 

119
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:54,800
So at the end of the day not 
everybody has the same gift. 

120
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,500
Now, let me give some analogies 
here. 

121
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,100
It's Christmas morning. 
You just finished service at 

122
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:05,400
anchor, Faith Church. 
And now you go back home to 

123
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,600
unwrap the gifts. 
Right. 

124
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,900
And so you begin to unwrap one 
and it is, let me give me a 

125
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:16,300
coffee mug. 
Give me that coffee mug right 

126
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:17,300
there. 
Bring that to me. 

127
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,500
Okay. 
You receive a thermos mug? 

128
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:23,400
This one exact model. 
Okay. 

129
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,800
You open up the next one. 
You get the exact same present 

130
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:30,400
you open the next one. 
Same thing. 

131
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:35,400
How are we smiling right now? 
You see the front? 

132
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,799
Wow, this is awesome. 
All, thank you honey. 

133
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,400
And then you know, your kiss. 
Ah, you got the same person has 

134
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:43,200
by wife. 
That's awesome. 

135
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,700
Thanks. 
And then all of a sudden, your 

136
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:49,600
grandkid. 
Hmm, you go to work. 

137
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,900
This is the fifth thermos, I've 
gotten now all of a sudden you 

138
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:56,200
were excited about the first 
one. 

139
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:04,700
Oh, you don't want to hear this.
Well, we are so unique. 

140
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:12,500
That we're different gifts. 
This is what's so awesome about 

141
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:17,000
God because the cool thing about
all the gifts under the tree is 

142
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,800
that there's a variety As 
opposed to, I got another pair 

143
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,900
of socks. 
My mom was really good about 

144
00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,200
getting me socks. 
And I knew that package because 

145
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,300
she didn't put in a box it was 
soft. 

146
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,300
You know, you're like this, 
that's the socks right? 

147
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,400
I mean you need socks, okay? 
At the end of the day so it just

148
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,400
made for another present. 
Okay. 

149
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,000
And I appreciate that because it
gave me something else to unwrap

150
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,400
and at the end of the day they 
probably I use that gift 

151
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,100
probably more than any gift 
because the other ones I wore 

152
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:54,300
out our forgot about them or 
they were only good that day. 

153
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,800
Come on Paris. 
You know what I'm talking about,

154
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,900
the ones you buy for your kids 
and their great that day. 

155
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,400
And then it's like, why did I 
spend that much on that? 

156
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,900
They spend more in the box that 
it was in? 

157
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,800
Okay. 
So gifts are different and the 

158
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,500
called are the purpose of your 
life. 

159
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,500
Determines the get this. 
Why don't lust after somebody 

160
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:18,400
else's gift, because that's that
gift. 

161
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,900
And man, when that gives shows 
up somewhere, people get that 

162
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:23,500
gift. 
I don't want to be that gift. 

163
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:26,400
I want to be my gift because I 
want to be the different gift. 

164
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,800
That someone unwraps. 
I don't want to show me the 

165
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,700
exactly the same way. 
You're just like where you're 

166
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:33,400
just like but you're just 
nothing. 

167
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,600
No, we are too diverse in our 
Auction in the body of Christ. 

168
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,800
This is what makes us so 
awesome. 

169
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:44,000
Is that we're not carbon copies 
of each other. 

170
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,000
We are in Christ and then we all
have a gift associated with our 

171
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,100
purpose. 
And when it manifests whoo man, 

172
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:59,600
everyone gets excited because 
it's what's needed at the time. 

173
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,900
Turn over to Romans, chapter 12,
verse 6, Romans chapter 12 verse

174
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:07,400
6 says this for since, since we 
have gifts That differ, 

175
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,600
according to the grace given to 
us. 

176
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:13,600
Each of us is to exercise them 
accordingly. 

177
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:17,400
Okay, we are to exercise them 
accordingly. 

178
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:19,900
So, here we have different 
gifts, right? 

179
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:23,100
According to the grace, that is 
God's empowerment. 

180
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,200
Okay? 
The unmerited favor Grace, we 

181
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,900
received as once we got in the 
Kingdom. 

182
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,100
After that, we get another Grace
called an empowering Grace. 

183
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:34,000
The empowering Grace is what 
allows us to do the gift, our 

184
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,800
release the gift that we are 
Okay, you don't release your 

185
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,700
gift, under unmerited favor, you
release your gift under 

186
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:43,600
empowerment. 
Okay, so I'm releasing that. 

187
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,000
So each of us did you use them? 
Properly are, as this 

188
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,400
translation here, this is the 
1995 translation. 

189
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,600
We are to exercise them. 
Here's the point that get a 

190
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,600
failure to fulfill. 
The call is a results in the 

191
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:09,300
gift never being given Okay. 
I mean, how many of you have 

192
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,800
hidden gifts? 
And in forgot where they were 

193
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:17,000
and then later on, you saw them.
You la. 

194
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,300
There's that gift. 
Which means it was no good 

195
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,200
because it was never given, but 
it exists. 

196
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,700
Are you hearing me? 
So with that being said, you 

197
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:36,300
know, we need to release the 
gift that we are. 

198
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:46,000
Because if we fail to exercise, 
our allow the gift that we are 

199
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,400
because you just go and look at 
your name. 

200
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,900
So I'm a gift now. 
The problem is some of you don't

201
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:53,700
even believe that, but that's, 
you need to learn to believe 

202
00:12:53,700 --> 00:13:03,300
that you are a gift because 
God's made you that way, and 

203
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:07,400
you're a gift to someone. 
And when I say someone, I'm not 

204
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,200
talking one person, like I'm a 
gift to my wife, my wife is a 

205
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,200
gift to me. 
So we're gift to one another and

206
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,300
we are, but we're more than 
that, we're a gift to a lot of 

207
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:20,000
people because the the call in 
our life and when we release 

208
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,700
that gift under the grace of 
God, now under God's grace, then

209
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:32,000
in turn, we bring joy to 
people's lives because they can 

210
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,500
then use that gift or that gift 
gets in and you Use that helps 

211
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:41,100
them go to another level, right?
Because at the end of the day, 

212
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:45,200
there are some gifts that help 
us along the way, right? 

213
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:51,600
This is why I, you know, 
traditionally when I did a 

214
00:13:51,608 --> 00:13:58,300
wedding and I gave gifts, I 
would give the plunger Yeah. 

215
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:03,600
Because at the end of the day, 
when that newlywed couple needs 

216
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,400
it. 
I mean I unclog a lot of stuff 

217
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,200
spiritually right now. 
Anyway, you know, I'm trying to 

218
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,200
get things moving along in your 
life. 

219
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:21,900
Correct. 
Okay, in fact, Eric Brady and 

220
00:14:21,908 --> 00:14:27,600
his wife Sam, please stand up, 
they appreciated my gift so much

221
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,000
that they gave me a gift in 
return. 

222
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,200
Not a plunger, but a little 
stool that you can put in front 

223
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,800
of your toilet because they say 
that when your feet are elevated

224
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,300
more, it is easier to move 
things along. 

225
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,800
Thank you. 
Why did I enjoy this gift? 

226
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,500
So much, is because it was in 
connection with the gift. 

227
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:58,900
I gave them at their wedding, 
right? 

228
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,900
Okay. 
Now you may say pile, you give a

229
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:04,500
plunger again when you need it. 
I praise God. 

230
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:08,200
Pastor all gave us that plunger.
Are you hearing me? 

231
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:11,000
Have you ever been in a bathroom
and you can't find a plunger? 

232
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,000
Right. 
I mean you are at somebody's 

233
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,400
house. 
But you know what? 

234
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:28,700
I'm talking about your life And 
you gotta come out because 

235
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:31,400
there's not one in there because
if you're coming to my house, 

236
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,800
there's not one in. 
There goes, my wife has not 

237
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,700
letting a plunger hang out in 
the bathroom. 

238
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:41,200
God forbid, it's where it should
be for use that. 

239
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,300
We actually put in a closet 
somewhere out of everyone's 

240
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:53,500
eyesight. 
And make our guests have to come

241
00:15:53,500 --> 00:16:03,400
to us and say it's cuse me. 
Excuse me. 

242
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:13,300
Yeah, what's up? 
How do you have a? 

243
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:21,200
You have a, you have a plunger 
what happened, right? 

244
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,600
I mean you if you're asking for 
it, We know you're the problem. 

245
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:31,400
Right? 
Because you just let the whole 

246
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,800
house. 
No, I didn't. 

247
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,200
Number two in your home, right? 
Good. 

248
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,300
Wait, could you good? 
Well, I know that I got some 

249
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:43,200
staff though. 
They would wait, they do they 

250
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,900
want to do it in the privacy of 
our own home? 

251
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:49,300
I mean they will take cramps in 
their gut before they will do 

252
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:50,500
that. 
So funny. 

253
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,800
It's all right, it's just being 
a human, it happens, right? 

254
00:16:56,300 --> 00:16:58,400
Amen. 
But we liked it. 

255
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,100
Then make fun of Up and go. 
Oh my gosh, I can't believe. 

256
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:02,400
No, I'm kidding, we don't do 
that. 

257
00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:08,000
Here you go. 
You need to clean up your mess a

258
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,900
failure, okay? 
For you to allow the call of God

259
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:18,700
in your life, into operation, 
means the gift. 

260
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:22,000
Can't get out. 
You know, how many believers do?

261
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:29,400
Never discover their purpose? 
Because the Believers purpose is

262
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,000
not the die and go to heaven. 
It's not your purpose. 

263
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:37,700
It's something that occurs when 
you leave your body but that's 

264
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:41,400
not your purpose. 
Your purpose is not the exit 

265
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,800
strategy of planet Earth when I 
die, that's not why. 

266
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,100
Jesus came To be absent from the
body is to be present with the 

267
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:52,700
Lord, and he's presently in 
heaven, but the reason Jesus 

268
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:57,300
came was to empower us now, to 
put his Spirit back in us now to

269
00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:00,400
give us Authority. 
Now to allow us to overcome, 

270
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,000
give us our kingship back. 
Give us hard Dominion back, 

271
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:07,800
okay? 
And as a result of that, then to

272
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,600
release Us in the earth's for 
the rest of the world, can see 

273
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,000
our light be drawn to the 
kingdom, because of how we live.

274
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:23,900
Because they see our gift. 
Because at the end of the day, 

275
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:30,000
the world is, is looking at your
gifts naturally speak. 

276
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,700
Well, what you get for your 
birthday, why do you care? 

277
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:36,400
Because they may want what you 
have. 

278
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:38,800
That's good. 
That's good. 

279
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,000
To the point, they get jealous 
for it. 

280
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:42,900
Now we understand jealousy in 
and of itself. 

281
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:45,200
No good. 
Unless, you know, it's a proper 

282
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,200
type of jealousy, like the Lord 
says, I'm a jealous God, meaning

283
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:53,500
I'm not going to share, I'm the 
Lord. 

284
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,200
And you're not going to be going
around worshipping other stuff 

285
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,400
and then come to me. 
I'm hit IM alone the rest of 

286
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,000
that's made up. 
I am, I am, I am. 

287
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:12,000
Okay, so we have to release our 
gift in the earth. 

288
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,700
We discover why we are doing 
what we're doing and why God's 

289
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:19,900
made us and, and what God wants 
to do through our lives. 

290
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,200
Look at this. 
In First, Peter 4:10 says, as 

291
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,100
each one has received a special 
no gift as each one. 

292
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:31,100
Again, every one of you are a 
gift, now you're going to go buy

293
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:35,100
presents for your family, right?
Friends employees employers, 

294
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,600
you're going to do the Christmas
parties, all those particular 

295
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,100
things. 
Some you're going to do is gag 

296
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:43,700
gifts, right? 
You know, at the end of the day 

297
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:48,000
you're still doing something 
because you know some you know, 

298
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,300
you do it because you want to 
give something to someone and 

299
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:56,800
each of us are participating in 
this yet. 

300
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,400
The Lord says Each of you are a 
gift. 

301
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,100
All right, so as each one has 
received a special gift, it 

302
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:12,000
says, employ it in serving one 
another as good stewards of the 

303
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,100
manifold grace of God. 
Now look at this, in the 

304
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,200
Amplified it says that this way 
as each of you have received a 

305
00:20:17,208 --> 00:20:21,500
gift a particular spiritual 
Talent, a gracious Divine mm 

306
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:27,700
endowment employee it for one 
another as befits. 

307
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:32,200
Good Trustees of God's 
many-sided, grace faithful 

308
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,700
stewards of the Stream diverse 
powers and Gifts. 

309
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,200
Granted to Christians by this 
says, unmerited favor. 

310
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,200
But unfortunately, that's not a 
good translation of how Grace 

311
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:42,900
is. 
Okay. 

312
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,800
In this context the unmerited 
favor come through the Salvation

313
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,800
at this point, it's the 
multi-faceted. 

314
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,800
So this is empowering Grace 
specifically. 

315
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:56,700
Okay, so what I'm saying is that
everyone of us is a gift All 

316
00:20:56,700 --> 00:21:00,000
right. 
Now on the platform are a couple

317
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,200
gifts. 
Correct. 

318
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:06,300
Now here's the thing about 
gifts, in order for us to 

319
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:09,600
understand what the gift is, 
we're going to have to go a 

320
00:21:09,608 --> 00:21:15,600
little deeper. 
All right. 

321
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:19,800
So, look at this in Matthew. 
24:14 for, I jump over into 

322
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,200
that, it says, just like a man 
was about to go on a journey, he

323
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,200
called his own slaves, and 
trusted his possessions of them,

324
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:31,000
to one, he gave five to one, he 
gave two to another, he gave one

325
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
according to his own ability and
he went on his journey. 

326
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,200
So, all three of these 
individuals had the grace, To be

327
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:44,300
able to exercise the gift, they 
were giving and they were 

328
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:51,600
required expected. 
To distribute the gift. 

329
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,500
To work it. 
So obviously, the master comes 

330
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:59,500
back, the one who had five had 
five more, and he said, what? 

331
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:02,900
Well, done the to develop two 
more. 

332
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:07,300
And what do you say to that one?
Well done, the one gave him back

333
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,400
the one. 
And what did he say to him? 

334
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:15,500
You're Wicked and lazy because 
at the end of the day, the gift 

335
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:18,400
was never intended for you to 
keep it. 

336
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:25,000
And when most Believers because 
of how they see, Christianity is

337
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,500
that I have the gift of eternal 
life. 

338
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:33,200
So I keep it to myself until I 
die and then we release it by 

339
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,100
being in heaven. 
I've got mine. 

340
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,500
That's not Christianity. 
Real Christianity is that I've 

341
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:45,900
received the life of God. 
I know that when I pass from 

342
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:49,700
here I'll be present with him 
that's coming and that's going 

343
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:51,100
to be an awesome day when it 
does. 

344
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:55,700
But that's not the Pinnacle, I 
received the Pinnacle, I am a 

345
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:59,500
child of God. 
Now, And I'm going to discover 

346
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:01,200
more and more who I am as a 
child. 

347
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,700
And then I'm going to operate 
and function as it and I'm going

348
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:07,300
to release this gift in the 
earth, so that we can produce 

349
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:11,700
more that are like me. 
So, I'm not the only one going 

350
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,500
or will live with him. 
Forever is what we would say, 

351
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,300
right? 
So, again, you have to release 

352
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:23,400
your gift calls when gifts are 
given, then it increases 

353
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,300
ability. 
The more you allow, who you are 

354
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,900
to be distributed. muted among 
yourselves towards someone else,

355
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:38,600
then you actually your gift 
becomes more valuable Who you 

356
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,100
are as a gift, becomes more 
valuable. 

357
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:43,300
If you let it lay dormant, 
there's no increase in your life

358
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:45,600
but the minute you get it into 
exercise. 

359
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,500
Meaning, you're serving other 
people, you're allowing who you 

360
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:50,800
are to show up. 
And you're going to find 

361
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,700
yourself in situations that who 
you are, as a gift is a gift and

362
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:57,500
gods going to have you cross 
someone's path. 

363
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:03,200
Some of you are or if phenomenal
encouragers, I mean, man, you 

364
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,000
can encourage people. 
Make them feel like they're on 

365
00:24:05,008 --> 00:24:08,400
top of the world, because It's a
gift. 

366
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:12,700
And people get around you, they 
feel bubbly and you walk in a 

367
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:16,800
room and they're like, wow, 
because it's a gift from God and

368
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,200
you're going to run across 
people that seem to be tired. 

369
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,000
Depressed beat down and you come
it. 

370
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:30,400
But if you don't engage You've 
got to use your gift. 

371
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:35,100
Whatever it, maybe some of you 
have natural talents that are 

372
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:38,600
really gifted from God, you 
know, just because you can do 

373
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,800
something good with your hands. 
Does it mean us you? 

374
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:45,100
I mean, we can show you in 
scripture were, especially with 

375
00:24:45,108 --> 00:24:47,700
the building of the Tabernacle. 
He said, I have put this in 

376
00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:55,100
these individuals, they are now 
gifted by me to give instruction

377
00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:59,100
on this project and to build it 
according to my plan. 

378
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,800
So again, you're like well I've 
developed this on my God, gave 

379
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,400
it to you, right out the gate. 
Now if you don't start releasing

380
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,700
that now, what do I mean by 
release? 

381
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,200
I'm not talking about just 
making money off of it. 

382
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,300
Though you can prosper with it 
and God will allow you 

383
00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:20,900
personally to prosper but you 
use the gift by exercising it 

384
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:21,900
towards other. 
What do you need? 

385
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:25,200
I'll come help do that. 
Well, how much it's nothing. 

386
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:31,500
I mean God gave me the gift 
anyway and you have the need So 

387
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:35,200
you understand, when they 
unwrapped your gift, you'll say 

388
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,900
what joy that brings to their 
life. 

389
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,000
Amen. 
And there's many in this room 

390
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,700
that I've had to call on, 
especially in the natural. 

391
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:50,200
You know, construction aspect 
we're like, hey, I need this and

392
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,400
that gift shows up and I'm like,
thank God, I got to unwrap that 

393
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,200
gift today. 
Needed that gift because at the 

394
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,100
end of the day I couldn't have 
done that. 

395
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:04,100
If I'm not gifted there like 
they are you know, I don't have 

396
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:09,900
to do everything. 
And God doesn't want us to do 

397
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,100
everything. 
That's why he gave me you. 

398
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:17,800
Amen. 
I mean who are Christmas unwraps

399
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,800
one? 
It says yeah. 

400
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,400
I'll just leave the rest of them
under there. 

401
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:26,700
Who does this? 
Amen, right, but some of you 

402
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:28,300
want me to leave you under the 
tree. 

403
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:37,800
But I'm coming after you. 
I said I'm coming after you look

404
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,800
what it says in Proverbs 18. 16,
it says this, a man's gift makes

405
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,400
room for him and brings him 
before. 

406
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,600
Great people. 
Now, literally this means in 

407
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,300
context is that the king would 
ask who's out in my Courtyard 

408
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,600
and then would begin to ask, 
what are they / bringing me and 

409
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,300
the ones who had gifts came in 
because you don't come to the 

410
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:09,700
king without gift. 
So, when you allow your gift 

411
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:15,000
that God Made You to humanity, 
first to the church, must be 

412
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,600
honest. 
Now, you're gifting first is for

413
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,500
the church. 
Because it's a church gift. 

414
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,300
Okay, your gift is for the 
church first, then you can use 

415
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:34,600
it for the world to help. 
Draw them into the church. 

416
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,500
It's amazing how many Believers 
only want to give themselves to 

417
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:42,300
the world but disdain the 
church. 

418
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:49,800
Amen. 
The gift is for the church first

419
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,000
and foremost because we serve 
one another. 

420
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,500
Then we can utilize that gift 
tool to show the world that 

421
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:04,400
there's a way better. 
There's something more And you 

422
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,000
could have the benefit of all 
gifts once you get in. 

423
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:15,900
Because not only do you get the 
gifts of humans, the body of 

424
00:28:15,900 --> 00:28:20,200
Christ, then you get gifts from 
the Holy Ghost and he has some 

425
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,400
gifts. 
He brings those are some 

426
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,000
powerful gifts. 
Are you hearing me? 

427
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,900
And the Bible says, we should 
earnestly desire, those? 

428
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,300
Well, Lord, I don't want you to 
do nothing for me. 

429
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,900
He said, really, I want you to 
earnestly desire spiritual 

430
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,400
gifts, which means you should be
saying, I want this Lord. 

431
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,400
Well, I'm just not selfish, 
you're not being selfish. 

432
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,300
When you say, holy spirit, I 
want your gifts to manifest in 

433
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:47,300
my life and through my life 
because those gifts are for 

434
00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:51,300
someone else. 
Okay, amen. 

435
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:56,600
So, when we distribute gifts, it
increases our influence 

436
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,600
opportunities because your gift 
makes room for you. 

437
00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:06,100
They are people and I've been 
using this recently in Anchor 

438
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:08,600
Faith Church. 
Are you here for vision or 

439
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,800
position? 
because if you're here for a 

440
00:29:11,808 --> 00:29:16,500
position, you're probably not 
going to stay because once you 

441
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:24,100
get moved out of the position, 
Because what if the vision got 

442
00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:27,800
so big that we needed to put you
in a different position for the 

443
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:34,100
sake of the vision? 
It's like taking a starting 

444
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,300
pitcher and saying tonight, I'm 
gonna have you do relief. 

445
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:43,500
Well, I'm a starter. 
Well, so and so starting tonight

446
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,900
is game seven in the series. 
You played two nights ago, this 

447
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:52,300
their start, but instead of me 
just going to the bullpen. 

448
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:56,300
I want a starter as a closer, so
we can win this game tonight. 

449
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,500
Oh no, I'm a starter. 
I'm not a closer. 

450
00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:04,000
Why are you here for the vision?
Are you here for position? 

451
00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:11,800
Because if you here for vision 
your life put me in coach, I'm 

452
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,000
ready to play. 
And I don't care where whatever,

453
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:20,000
I just want to get off this 
field with a win. 

454
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:24,800
I want to be a champion, and I 
don't care who has the walk-off 

455
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,400
home run. 
It's my turn off the bat. 

456
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,300
Yeah, but we're going to put the
da chin. 

457
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,400
What? 
Well, statistically understand 

458
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,000
when the bases are loading, you 
get up, you strike out 

459
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,700
statistically. 
We're going go with RDH. 

460
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:46,900
But it's my turn to bat or y'all
hear what I'm saying? 

461
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,500
That's the position person not a
vision person, Because the 

462
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:54,300
vision persons like you need to 
do. 

463
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:57,800
What's best for the for the team
for the vision? 

464
00:30:58,100 --> 00:31:01,900
Are you hearing me? 
So again, a gift makes room for 

465
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:05,500
you, but it also can make room 
for you somewhere else that 

466
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:10,700
you're not currently occupying 
or someone else's gift could 

467
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:16,200
come in and it's necessary at 
this season and you need to take

468
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,200
a different seat. 
But it doesn't mean you're still

469
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,700
not using your gift. 
Oh, y'all want to hear at the 

470
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:26,100
end of the day. 
It's like this, you give me a 

471
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:29,000
car, right? 
You give me a car off? 

472
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,200
This is awesome, right? 
And it's a used car, okay. 

473
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:34,000
It's about twelve thousand 
dollars. 

474
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,100
No looks clean. 
Nice got about, you know, 75,000

475
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:38,500
miles on it. 
You know, let's give a little 

476
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:40,600
bit more. 90,000 miles, good 
tires. 

477
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,300
Also. 
And I'm using that thing, this 

478
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:44,300
is great. 
Well, then all of a sudden, 

479
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,100
someone gives me a brand new 
car. 

480
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:48,900
What? 
It doesn't devalue? 

481
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:54,700
The other car. 
It just means I might be driving

482
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:58,400
this new one. 
Cross-country and saving this 

483
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,800
one. 
Yeah. 

484
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,800
Or at the end of the day, 
they're both new. 

485
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:12,600
But one is an electric Prius. 
If you drive a Prius, do the 

486
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,300
speed limit, please. 
I don't know what Liz, but seems

487
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:18,300
like Prius drivers. 
Don't do the speed limit. 

488
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,700
Whoever got behind a Prius. 
I mean this could just be my own

489
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:28,800
personal phenomenon but I'm like
why is it seemed like people 

490
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,200
driving Priuses? 
Don't do the speed limit, I 

491
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,300
called my daughter because her 
husband I have a Prius. 

492
00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:39,800
I said, tell me you do the speed
limit Because I am right on A1A,

493
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,500
right now, I am behind a Prius. 
I can't get around them and I 

494
00:32:42,508 --> 00:32:48,300
don't know why they can't go 55.
Well, now dad, she told me. 

495
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:53,500
Damn. 
So for you for your battery, you

496
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:57,000
know, for you to like have the 
best energy capacity, it had 

497
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
like keep you in this thing 
called green and they could just

498
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,300
be driving in the green. 
So what I need to get out of the

499
00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:06,200
green and get up to the speed 
limit. 

500
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,700
Just don't worry, dad, I drive 
the speed limit. 

501
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,200
Okay. 
Because the Priuses are not 

502
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,600
driving the speed limit, they're
staying in the green to make 

503
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,600
their battery life. 
He fishing apparently, 

504
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,100
Hallelujah. 
So I have a Prius now. 

505
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,800
Not really, but you understand 
and you know it's got great gas 

506
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,100
mileage. 
But you know, then I have this 

507
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,800
Corvette. 
Okay, well I need to get 

508
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,600
somewhere fast. 
What am I taking? 

509
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,500
Can somebody tell me what I'm 
taking you bet. 

510
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:46,300
It's not the Prius. 
Now, it doesn't devalue the 

511
00:33:46,300 --> 00:33:49,600
Prius cuz the Prius has the gift
of longevity. 

512
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,000
Good, gas mileage. 
But in this case, I'm not 

513
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,500
driving you. 
And it's time for me to be in 

514
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,400
the Corvette. 
Are you hear what I'm saying? 

515
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:04,500
So, you got to understand, God 
will bring gifts to this body, 

516
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:07,800
okay? 
And all of a sudden, you can't 

517
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,300
say, well, I'm the Prius thank 
you that you are because when we

518
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:16,100
need a lot of mileage, you are 
the person we are coming and 

519
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:19,400
thank God for you because the 
Corvette leaves us on the side 

520
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,400
of the road in that context. 
Are you hearing me? 

521
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,699
But at the end of the day, let's
just let our gifts come out. 

522
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:28,900
Look what it says in Philippians
2:12 to 18. 

523
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:33,300
So then my beloved just as you 
have always obeyed, not a not as

524
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:37,300
in my presence only but now much
more in my absence work out your

525
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:39,699
salvation with fear and 
trembling now that doesn't mean 

526
00:34:39,699 --> 00:34:44,300
you work salvation, this is not 
of your works but it does mean 

527
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:49,699
now that you're saved you are to
work by obeying God's word, 

528
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:51,900
there's a few things you're 
working out. 

529
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:55,400
The first thing you're working 
out is your mind because your 

530
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,500
mind is saved through. 
Renewing, it your mom, Mind does

531
00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:01,200
not get saved the day you're 
born. 

532
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,200
Again, you save it because you 
commit yourself to the study of 

533
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,200
the word and the Holy Ghost In. 
You begins to renew your mind. 

534
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:14,500
So that you begin to think like 
a child of God royalty, the 

535
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:18,800
child of a king and and make 
decisions based upon this new 

536
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,700
reality of who you are. 
All right? 

537
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:24,200
So you've got to work those 
things out with fear and 

538
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,700
trembling for, it is God, who is
at work in you both to Will and 

539
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:34,400
to I work in his good pleasure. 
So guess why God's in you to 

540
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,100
work? 
Well I have Grace to work. 

541
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,200
To work. 
Okay? 

542
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:46,500
To do the Kingdom Business is to
do all things without grumbling 

543
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:49,000
are disputing. 
So that you will prove yourself 

544
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,400
to be blameless and innocent 
children of God, above reproach 

545
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,900
in a, in the midst of a crooked 
and perverse generation among 

546
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:57,800
whom you appear as lights in the
world. 

547
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,600
You're a gift holding fast the 
word of life, so that in the day

548
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,000
of Christ, I will have reason to
Glory, because I did not run in 

549
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,100
vain nor toil in vain. 
But even if I'm being poured out

550
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:12,100
as a drink, Kaufering upon the 
sacrifice and service of your 

551
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,900
faith. 
I rejoice and share my joy with 

552
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:18,800
you, all you to, I urge rejoice 
in the same way and share your 

553
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,900
joy with me and Essence. 
Paul saying I gave you me as a 

554
00:36:21,908 --> 00:36:25,800
gift and the gift that God put 
in me, he made me an apostle. 

555
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,600
I came to you and by the 
Revelation that God had given 

556
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,100
me. 
And when I preach, it changed 

557
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:33,600
your life because I came 
industry employed. 

558
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,300
My gift in your company, you 
came into the kingdom. 

559
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,900
Now, I continue to Deploy my 
gift, wherever God calls me. 

560
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,400
And I even write back to you to 
see how you're doing. 

561
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,100
Because at the end of the day, I
don't want to have given have 

562
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:49,400
given my gift and Alice, a vein 
gift. 

563
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:53,000
Has them. 
No value, but I'm hearing that 

564
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,800
you're doing the same thing, 
you're giving your gift as well,

565
00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:58,000
right? 
So, we're all supposed to be 

566
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,400
this constant exchange of the 
gift. 

567
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,700
We are to manifest in our lives 
towards one another, where it 

568
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:09,300
basically puts us in a position 
where were always able to walk 

569
00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:14,500
enjoy because you have something
I need at a time that I needed 

570
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:18,700
and vice versa, okay, we can 
call on it. 

571
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:21,400
Now let's just do a couple now. 
Natural things so we can give 

572
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,600
some spiritual principles. 
Okay? 

573
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,600
God is not looking for you to be
a pretty rat gift on display 

574
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:34,200
under his tree. 
Now, you know, the tree I'm 

575
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,300
talking about the cross, he's 
not looking for you to come to 

576
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:44,300
the cross. be born again because
of his death burial resurrection

577
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:55,500
and you just lay there Now let's
try it. 

578
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,600
I'll give you a challenge. 
Parents wrap, the gifts, put 

579
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,000
them under your Christmas tree. 
And When Christmas Comes says 

580
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,100
no, no, I know, has your name on
it but they're staying under the

581
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:11,600
tree. 
And in New Year's Eve comes 

582
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,300
around. 
Can we open them know? 

583
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:18,400
They're yours but they're going 
to stay on the tree, aren't 

584
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,100
they? 
Pretty look how beautiful that 

585
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:22,800
is. 
Is that my it is yours. 

586
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,300
Can I open it? 
No is staying under the tree. 

587
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:30,100
Oh, you don't want it. 
Okay, you know how many 

588
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,100
Believers are just hugging a 
cross? 

589
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:38,700
Okay, to me, give me another 
one. 

590
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,400
A wrapped gift is is a wrapped 
gift. 

591
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,500
That is never unwrapped. 
Is worse than no gift at all. 

592
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:53,400
I had to rewrite that because 
I'm my initial was a wrap gift. 

593
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,400
Never unwrapped is the same as 
no gift, and then I realized 

594
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,700
that's not true, it's worse. 
You know why? 

595
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:01,700
It's worse? 
Because there's really something

596
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:06,600
in here of some value of use and
I can't use it. 

597
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:12,800
So the potential of use is in my
presence, but because it's 

598
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,400
wrapped and I don't have it out,
I can't even use it. 

599
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:20,700
Where if I have no gift at all, 
then I have no hope. 

600
00:39:22,300 --> 00:39:25,900
So can you imagine the church 
and the world? 

601
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:28,700
But let me go back to the church
because the gift was for the 

602
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,000
church. 
First can imagine your church 

603
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,300
that the church says, hey, 
here's our vision and this is 

604
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:40,000
what we need and you are sitting
under the tree and we're like 

605
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:44,500
asking and saying, hey God, and 
all of a sudden, you know, on 

606
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:48,300
the inside of you, you're the 
gift that you're unwilling to be

607
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:53,300
unwrapped. 
Well, I'm busy. 

608
00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:56,300
I'll carry my gift around. 
Look how pretty I am. 

609
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,800
Then you go to work and the 
loss. 

610
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:08,200
I mean, people out there that 
need Jesus and they come in sick

611
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,300
and found out, you know, they 
got something that's 

612
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:13,900
life-threatening and they didn't
have no hope about it. 

613
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:19,000
And there's, and then on the 
inside of you, you know, you can

614
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,800
lay hands on the sick and they 
shall recover, but you're not 

615
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:26,200
gonna do it God for a bit, you 
unwrap the gift, and use the 

616
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:36,500
name of Jesus. 
Hallelujah. 

617
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,000
Amen. 
But when you know, you're a 

618
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,100
gift, the gift like I got to get
out of this box. 

619
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,900
Right. 
I mean you know the anticipation

620
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:54,300
for you on you know as a child 
and maybe you as an adult at 

621
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:58,300
this point, you know you're like
man you know, my wife knows I 

622
00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:02,200
want this, you know who that box
looks kind of like the size, you

623
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,100
know, you know, you're all 
excited. 

624
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:08,400
Like look look at that laughs. 
That's probably what I was 

625
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,100
asking for now, you don't know, 
but yours, you know. 

626
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:13,700
And as a kid you know what you 
do. 

627
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,500
Why are you doing that? 
Cuz you won't want song thee? 

628
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,400
Okay. 
A wrap gift is now a wrap gift. 

629
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,700
That's never used is will never 
be. 

630
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:39,700
Excuse me, a wrap gift is never 
used for its intended purpose 

631
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:46,400
because if I don't know what 
sin, how can I use it properly? 

632
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:51,400
Which means then now this gift 
runs the risk of abuse. 

633
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:55,500
Because I may use this as a 
doorstop. 

634
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,800
Are something else because I've 
not actually released what's on 

635
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,700
the inside. 
So let me go ahead and help the 

636
00:42:06,700 --> 00:42:12,200
people who use this term Church 
hurt. 

637
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,700
First of all, there's no such 
thing as Church hurt. 

638
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,400
Because the Church of Jesus 
Christ can't hurt you. 

639
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:31,500
People can hurt each other. 
It's just like guns, don't kill 

640
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:35,500
people. 
People kill people using a 

641
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:41,600
weapon. 
I've never seen a gun go off, 

642
00:42:42,300 --> 00:42:44,600
get up by myself and go off by 
itself. 

643
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,600
Run down the street by itself. 
Are you hearing me? 

644
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,500
Well, it went off. 
Accidentally. 

645
00:42:50,500 --> 00:42:52,700
No. 
It went off because you were 

646
00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:59,000
touching it. 
The chances and I understand 

647
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,000
there's a chance based upon 
atmosphere and temperatures and 

648
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,800
stuff a loaded weapon. 
Could scenario happen that a 

649
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,600
round goes off and something 
that sure. 

650
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,000
But you understand the 
percentage of that it is like 

651
00:43:12,100 --> 00:43:16,500
very rare. 
Extremely rare. 

652
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:23,300
I mean, we're not we're not 
trying to Deal with weapons 

653
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:30,600
based upon that statistic. 
My point is that, unless the 

654
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:35,900
gift comes out. 
Then the chance of abuse. 

655
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:39,800
So again, people are saying 
their Church hurt the majority. 

656
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:48,100
Won't let their gift come out. 
And abuses are inevitable now 

657
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,700
because you're getting tossed 
around because nobody knows what

658
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:56,500
you are. 
So you go to ministers, like, 

659
00:43:56,500 --> 00:43:59,200
well, how can we and you won't 
let you gift out. 

660
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,600
So the next thing you know, to 
pastors trying to use you based 

661
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,600
upon what he can see. 
Oh, you don't want to hear this.

662
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:08,500
Well, okay, I'm gonna, you know,
let me try to. 

663
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000
I'll try to, you know, put you 
here, you know, can you hold 

664
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,600
this up on me, but you're not 
designed to hold this up. 

665
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,400
Because if he knew what was on 
the inside, that you won't let 

666
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,300
on the outside, then they never 
would have put that kind of 

667
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:22,700
weight on you. 
Oh, yeah. 

668
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,700
Because if you want to see on 
pretty box and let me I can hold

669
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:31,800
that up. 
You know what you are on the 

670
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,200
inside? 
And you trying to be some other 

671
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,500
gift. 
That's watching another gift in 

672
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:41,200
operation like who I want to be 
that gift but you know you're 

673
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,100
not a gift. 
But if I stay in the Box they 

674
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:46,000
won't know that. 
I'm not that gift then when they

675
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,400
try to put you in the use of 
that other gift because you're 

676
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,500
saying you're that gift. 
But you still wrapped up then 

677
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:54,500
abuse comes. 
And so the hurt that comes is 

678
00:44:54,500 --> 00:44:58,400
not because the church is 
because you hurt yourself by not

679
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:08,100
being honest, Alleluia, probably
good. 

680
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:11,100
We're not recording video 
tonight, but it will be on 

681
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:13,600
podcast. 
Amen. 

682
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:17,100
I mean, I hear these 
terminologies all the time, 

683
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:19,300
creeping in creeping in people's
heads. 

684
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:22,600
And if you actually stay with 
scripture, then you'll you'll 

685
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,200
get rid of that kind of 
stupidity stupidity. 

686
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:33,700
The devil will give you 
religious terminology, it's like

687
00:45:33,700 --> 00:45:39,500
a pastor telling me, they're 
burn out your burn out, how can 

688
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:45,500
the light of God burn out. 
So if there's burnout you did 

689
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:48,500
not take personal responsibility
to keep the light lit. 

690
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:55,200
Amen. 
Why are you overwork your not 

691
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:00,100
overworked. 
You're under feeding the word. 

692
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:02,100
You're under fueled. 
Let's put it that way. 

693
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,700
You're not staying in the word 
and staying full of the spirit 

694
00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:10,000
because the Holy Ghost. 
Number one won't make you get 

695
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:16,100
saved, you have to yield, nor 
will the Holy Spirit, make you 

696
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:19,000
receive his power. 
You have to yield. 

697
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,300
Neither will God. 
I'd make you renew your mind, 

698
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:25,900
you have to yield. 
So when they're burnout I'm just

699
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,600
it's because they are not 
yielding to us necessary. 

700
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,300
Listen, I know when my tank 
starts to get super empty, I'll 

701
00:46:34,300 --> 00:46:37,300
be like, I've got to go, my wife
and I were talking about a 

702
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:39,600
particular situation that I'm 
dealing with right now. 

703
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:44,300
And I looked at her tonight and 
I said, but I talk about this, I

704
00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:49,200
cannot, I have to preach this, 
this would cause this too much 

705
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,000
emotion to try to show. 
Oh up and I'm not going to deal 

706
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,300
with that. 
I know where this conversation 

707
00:46:57,300 --> 00:47:01,200
will take me. 
And I'm not going to do the eye.

708
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,700
I'm keeping it under. 
I'm going to keep it under. 

709
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:10,200
I've refused to walk in the 
flesh about it. but if I keep 

710
00:47:10,700 --> 00:47:18,000
loughing the conversation and 
I'm feeling the emotion, Now, I 

711
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,300
do this in another way, that's 
not, you know, a trial and 

712
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:25,500
that's Florida football. 
So I start watching the game and

713
00:47:25,500 --> 00:47:27,800
I'm getting a little too 
emotionally attached. 

714
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,000
I'll just turn it off and walk 
out the room. 

715
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:32,400
I'm not going to let them have 
my emotions. 

716
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,300
I'm not gonna get all upset over
that. 

717
00:47:35,500 --> 00:47:37,400
I mean, I can't even control 
this anyway. 

718
00:47:37,700 --> 00:47:40,800
So my fandom means nothing. 
Why am I getting my stuff? 

719
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,200
So, worked up over something 
that even know I exist. 

720
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,100
They didn't die for me, don't 
care for me. 

721
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:50,000
It's just a personal. 
I like the Gators. 

722
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,300
Okay, big deal, baby know, who I
am. 

723
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:56,300
So why am I yelling at the TV? 
While I'm upset that they're not

724
00:47:56,300 --> 00:48:00,500
performing, why am I mad that 
they lost a Florida State? 

725
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:07,100
Whatever. 
Turn it off. 

726
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,300
You don't have my heart. 
You're not going to have my 

727
00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:14,000
emotions, but I'm feeling it's 
like You Don't Own Me. 

728
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,200
I'll turn you off, right? 
We all know this. 

729
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,300
So again, well, they work me 
too. 

730
00:48:20,300 --> 00:48:23,200
Hard. 
Did they? 

731
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,500
Or did you just not stay fueled 
up enough? 

732
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,600
I mean, if you're a go-kart run 
with go-karts, but if your top 

733
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:42,300
fuel, Come get on the track, 
right? 

734
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:43,900
Yeah, I mean what do we do? 
You want me to say? 

735
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:50,400
I mean, we got things to do 
places to go but when you allow 

736
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,400
your gift to manifest, so let's 
go on to the next one. 

737
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,800
Ready? 
The gift is what's on the 

738
00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:01,400
inside. 
Not how its wrapped up, why are 

739
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:06,500
they wrapped any way to bring 
appeal to want to know what's on

740
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:13,100
the inside? 
But many of us have gotten duped

741
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:21,800
into value in the outside. 
But that's not how God looks. 

742
00:49:24,700 --> 00:49:26,500
God damn. 
Look at the outward appearance. 

743
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,200
He looks at the heart and the 
Heart Will manifest through an 

744
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,500
outward appearance. 
Now, I'm not saying you 

745
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:37,500
shouldn't take care of your 
house, I'm not saying that in a 

746
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:40,900
natural sense. 
What I'm saying is is that you 

747
00:49:40,900 --> 00:49:44,700
can't come in and sing? 
Hallelujah, but have depression,

748
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,000
you know, praise the Lord but 
yet you're complaining about 

749
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,400
everything, you're selling your 
wrapped up like you're all 

750
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,500
Christian and you got it all 
together and everything's going 

751
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:57,100
to praise the Lord. 
All he's so good and you're so 

752
00:49:57,100 --> 00:50:00,400
smile. 
But your beat the Death when you

753
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:07,200
walk off the parking lot. and 
instead of having humility, And 

754
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:12,300
saying man, I'm in a bad spot. 
Because when you say that and 

755
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:15,800
come to an altar or get what 
someone that you can say, man 

756
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,600
I'm in a tough spot. 
God has this way of 

757
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,800
supernaturally bringing gifts by
you. 

758
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,700
I hear testimonies all the time 
from you do and other people 

759
00:50:24,700 --> 00:50:28,400
were supernaturally. 
Engaging guys. 

760
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,000
It's amazing, you know, you know
how many people you're 

761
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,200
encountering on a day-to-day 
basis and they don't realize you

762
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,600
are the gift they need and 
you're already giving them 

763
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:38,900
answers. 
Well, you ought to come to 

764
00:50:38,900 --> 00:50:42,600
church. 
Well, they don't, that is such a

765
00:50:42,608 --> 00:50:48,200
big deal. 
Such a big deal being here. 

766
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,600
Will it solve all of your 
problems immediately? 

767
00:50:50,700 --> 00:50:53,300
No. 
No. 

768
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,000
But will it solve all your 
problems? 

769
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:01,000
Yes, because the minute you get 
with the Lord, if the God be for

770
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,700
you, who can be against you? 
And you get him in the ring with

771
00:51:05,700 --> 00:51:08,500
you. 
My gosh, man but then you've got

772
00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:12,700
to be transparent enough because
here's the thing ready in order 

773
00:51:16,700 --> 00:51:20,500
In order for your gift to be 
used for its intended purpose, 

774
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,700
you're going to have to have 
some layers removed. 

775
00:51:27,300 --> 00:51:30,400
If you want to know what's in 
here, we got to take some stuff 

776
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,900
off. 
Do you want to know what's in 

777
00:51:35,900 --> 00:51:37,000
here? 
We're going to take some stuff 

778
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:42,100
off. 
Bob, where's Bob Bob Bob, would 

779
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:46,700
you stand up in the back bomb? 
I love Bob's wife because Bob's 

780
00:51:46,700 --> 00:51:50,000
wife, she is a doer. 
Miss Linda is doer of the word 

781
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,000
now, what do I mean by that? 
Not only she does the word but 

782
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:58,300
she does think she hears. 
She heard one time that I love 

783
00:51:58,300 --> 00:52:01,100
presents wrapped. 
I'm not the put it in a bag and 

784
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:04,000
due to tissue paper that I 
should blow my nose on because 

785
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,700
you're too lazy to actually wrap
a present. 

786
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,600
That's personal opinion, so 
please don't be offended. 

787
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,800
So, Miss Linda. 
When she gets me gifts. 

788
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:21,700
They show up in boxes, like 
this. 

789
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:26,500
And so, I open up a box, unwrap 
it. 

790
00:52:26,900 --> 00:52:29,000
And then I opened the box and 
guess what? 

791
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:39,000
A wrapped boxes in the Box. 
It's a gift and a gift surprise.

792
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,900
So I pull it out. 
I get to unwrap it because I'm 

793
00:52:41,900 --> 00:52:43,300
so excited. 
What's in the box? 

794
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,700
Another wrapped gift. 
It's like the gift that keeps on

795
00:52:47,700 --> 00:52:53,500
giving and it gives me this like
I just want to find it to find 

796
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:56,100
it now, you know, it's like 
whoo, I just get so goddamn rat 

797
00:52:56,100 --> 00:52:58,800
on and and what she's done 
sometimes. 

798
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,300
She's late gifts within you, 
unwrap, and it, there's one 

799
00:53:02,300 --> 00:53:04,200
there but then there's more 
More. 

800
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,400
So I get one of the gifts but 
then I keep going all. 

801
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,600
Here's another one but there's 
another one. 

802
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,100
So the box is big enough to hold
a gift. 

803
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:14,700
I can see but then have another 
one. 

804
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:18,100
I can't see. 
And I have to unwrap Oh, this is

805
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:20,300
great. 
It teaches me that if I just 

806
00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:24,700
keep tearing layers off and keep
going deeper, I can get into 

807
00:53:24,700 --> 00:53:29,200
some great treasure. 
Oh, are you hearing me, man? 

808
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,700
I'm preaching a such a way so on
Christmas morning. 

809
00:53:31,900 --> 00:53:34,400
I hope the Holy Ghost says, 
where's your gift at? 

810
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,400
Every time you see a present. 
Now, the Holy Ghost says, you 

811
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,300
know, your gift. 
You need to unwrap a few things 

812
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:43,900
today. 
When we get one of those sermons

813
00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:46,500
where I'm saying, hey, the Lord 
says you're like, oh, that's 

814
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:49,100
touching me up. 
Oh, that's tight. 

815
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:50,800
The Lord's gonna say. 
Can I unwrap that? 

816
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,400
I want to unwrap down and go a 
little bit deeper. 

817
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,800
I want to get too close. 
You understand? 

818
00:53:57,900 --> 00:54:04,700
Some of the most precious gifts 
are the smallest gifts, some of 

819
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:08,800
those valuable ones. 
Are you hear me? 

820
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:13,100
Like diamonds. 
They're not big. 

821
00:54:13,900 --> 00:54:15,700
You put them in little bitty 
packages. 

822
00:54:17,700 --> 00:54:21,800
Right. 
Which means you can hide a 

823
00:54:21,808 --> 00:54:27,500
diamond in a lot of big boxes 
that all of a sudden there was a

824
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:30,300
dominant there the whole time 
the problem is some of you allow

825
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:34,100
us to unwrap a couple layers. 
Hold on time at some please. 

826
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:34,700
Stop. 
Stop. 

827
00:54:34,700 --> 00:54:37,900
Stop, man. 
We ain't even got to the good 

828
00:54:37,900 --> 00:54:44,000
stuff yet. 
We never got to the good stuff 

829
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,800
yet, and God is so great. 
He's like, let me unwrap this 

830
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:47,700
man. 
I look at this and everybody's 

831
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:49,700
like, whoa, you're like, whoa! 
And it was like, wow, you're so 

832
00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:52,400
awesome. 
Like thank you, ma'am, free, I'm

833
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,200
out of the box. 
You're a gift. 

834
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,300
Thank God you let God peel that 
off. 

835
00:54:58,300 --> 00:55:01,500
You look how awesome you are. 
And then the next season guy 

836
00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:05,000
comes around says, hey, there's 
another gift in you that you 

837
00:55:05,008 --> 00:55:08,700
didn't know. 
Let me unwrap that this would be

838
00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:14,300
your whole life. 
Hey men, just go ahead and 

839
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:15,100
smile. 
Anyway. 

840
00:55:15,900 --> 00:55:23,200
All right, so understand this 
repentance unwraps, the gift 

841
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:33,100
Repentance is was unwrapping, 
the gift. because man, when you 

842
00:55:33,100 --> 00:55:37,500
change your thinking, You'll 
Release Yourself. 

843
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:47,100
It's amazing how much the fruits
of the spirit. 

844
00:55:47,900 --> 00:55:51,000
Okay, are given by the Holy 
Ghost, they come by him, we call

845
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,800
them fruits, but it by All 
rights, they are a form of a 

846
00:55:53,808 --> 00:55:56,700
gift, you know, I understand him
saying there are the gifts of 

847
00:55:56,700 --> 00:55:59,300
the Spirit. 
I do not want to confuse it with

848
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:03,200
the gifts of the Spirit, but 
again, a fruit comes because 

849
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:08,300
you're allowing the word to bear
and produce in your life. 

850
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,600
Okay, that you couldn't have 
done it without the spirit 

851
00:56:11,700 --> 00:56:13,300
because it comes from the 
spirit. 

852
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:20,200
It's amazing how much patients 
can manifest with me in some 

853
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,700
crazy moments. 
But it's because I allow God to 

854
00:56:24,700 --> 00:56:28,100
unwrap. 
The frustration. 

855
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:36,400
Patience is in me frustrations, 
wrapping paper. 

856
00:56:38,300 --> 00:56:42,400
And he'll unwrap frustration, so
that patients can manifest. 

857
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:49,600
He'll unwrap anger so 
self-control can manifest. 

858
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:57,600
He'll unwrap depression, so that
Joy can show up and how do I 

859
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:58,800
know he's doing it? 
Because he'll come up. 

860
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,000
He'll say no. 
There's a gift in you. 

861
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,500
What do you mean? 
There's joy. 

862
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,800
Well, I feel pretty bad. 
Let me unwrap that. 

863
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,200
Just Shield to me. 
I'll unwrap that right now. 

864
00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:11,900
Let me unwrap it. 
But if you don't let him unwrap,

865
00:57:11,900 --> 00:57:13,400
then guess, what does it come 
out? 

866
00:57:14,300 --> 00:57:18,600
Your joy can't come out, and 
it's not God's problem because 

867
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,300
your top again, whatever's in 
here is in here, the whole time.

868
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:25,800
Been here all night. 
It's not changing. 

869
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,500
There's gonna be no magic 
sleight of hands. 

870
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,400
Whatever this gift is is still 
this gift until somebody unwraps

871
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,100
it tonight. 
It was always this gift, it will

872
00:57:36,100 --> 00:57:39,600
always be this gift, it will 
never not be this gift. 

873
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,400
Even if I got my other wrapping 
paper and put more layers on it.

874
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:48,200
What it is is what it is. 
What was created in this, that 

875
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:52,200
box here is what it is and the 
only way we gonna Discover it is

876
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,800
to unwrap it. 
The only ever going to be able 

877
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,000
to participate with it and use 
it and employee. 

878
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,300
It is to get it out. 
Right? 

879
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:05,700
So you need to understand this, 
The Giver has hand-picked the 

880
00:58:05,700 --> 00:58:10,400
gift to meet the needs or wants 
of the recipient. 

881
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,700
So, you understand what the 
reason why God put you in front 

882
00:58:13,700 --> 00:58:15,800
of people's? 
Because he cares that much about

883
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:24,500
the person You are actually an 
expression that tells people God

884
00:58:24,500 --> 00:58:30,900
cares about them. 
God cares about you. 

885
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,200
I mean, has anyone have you ever
had anyone say, man, you're like

886
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:41,300
a gift from God. 
Even the world are other 

887
00:58:41,300 --> 00:58:45,900
believers recognize when you 
showed up and You released and 

888
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:50,700
unwrapped your gift in their 
life, they even acknowledge and 

889
00:58:50,700 --> 00:58:54,300
your gift from God. 
Now, some of them, get it wrong,

890
00:58:54,300 --> 00:58:56,900
to say, you're an angel, not an 
angel, never be an angel. 

891
00:58:56,900 --> 00:58:59,600
Never will ever be an angel, not
going to be an angel. 

892
00:59:00,100 --> 00:59:04,200
That's a totally separate 
created being I'll always be a 

893
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,800
child of God. 
Hallelujah. 

894
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:12,700
Amen. 
So now the gifts are given 

895
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:17,400
because the giver loves the one.
They're gifting, God loves the 

896
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,100
world that he gave his son, his 
son died on the cross Rose from 

897
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:26,400
the grave, then we become like 
his son, we become in Christ and

898
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:33,600
then God gave the world us. 
So that then we can give him. 

899
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:40,400
Because he loves them. 
So, you got to understand. 

900
00:59:42,300 --> 00:59:45,400
God's trying to demonstrate his 
love to the world, and to 

901
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:49,100
Believers because he commanded 
us as Believers to love one 

902
00:59:49,100 --> 00:59:51,600
another. 
He's trying to demonstrate that 

903
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,900
through you. 
This is why I understand why 

904
00:59:55,900 --> 01:00:08,400
gift stay home. 
What Good's a gift if it never 

905
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:15,300
shows up to the party? 
I'ma gift big deal. 

906
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:20,300
You're not at the party. 
You're not at the party and you 

907
01:00:20,300 --> 01:00:28,500
were invited every party. 
Every celebration you've been 

908
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:30,600
invited. 
Please come to the party. 

909
01:00:31,900 --> 01:00:35,200
Okay, so when you receive a gift
that means someone is thinking 

910
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,000
of you, it affirms that someone 
cares about you. 

911
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:41,200
Now let me leave this little 
thought process again because 

912
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,500
you know it comes when it comes 
around gift time. 

913
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:49,300
If money were not an issue, 
Money were not an issue. 

914
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:52,500
Would you not always give a 
gift? 

915
01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:00,100
If money was never an issue 
because you understand God, it's

916
01:01:00,100 --> 01:01:03,600
not an issue. 
It's never an issue with God. 

917
01:01:05,900 --> 01:01:09,300
If then, if money were never 
issue and you admit that I would

918
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:13,700
always give a gift. 
Then the statement is the 

919
01:01:13,700 --> 01:01:17,400
thought that counts is a 
statement of the poor. 

920
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:22,900
It's a statement of someone who 
don't know who they are. 

921
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,700
I'm glad the father didn't say, 
well, I was going to send you my

922
01:01:29,700 --> 01:01:32,300
son. 
Let me tell you what was going 

923
01:01:32,300 --> 01:01:34,300
to happen. 
I was going to sending the form 

924
01:01:34,300 --> 01:01:36,000
of the flesh. 
Like a man. 

925
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,800
Like the first Adam, he beat his
second atom or the last Adam, 

926
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:44,300
and he would live sinless so 
much so that he could get your 

927
01:01:44,300 --> 01:01:47,200
pardon, he would take care of 
all your debt. 

928
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,800
It just would cost him his life 
and he's willing to do that 

929
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,600
willing to do it. 
He would then take his blood. 

930
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,200
Bring it to The Mercy Seat, I 
would open up the door so that 

931
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:56,700
all of you could come into the 
household. 

932
01:01:57,900 --> 01:01:59,200
I have it. 
No problem. 

933
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,300
I can do it. 
I raise him up on the third day 

934
01:02:02,500 --> 01:02:05,000
and we'll in, you can all come 
in the house now. 

935
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,500
I'm not going to do it but hey, 
it is the thought that counts, 

936
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,400
right? 
And we all go to hell because 

937
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:18,600
God just thought about it. 
Well, I thought about going to 

938
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:25,600
church. 
You know, I thought about 

939
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:30,500
talking to them today. 
I thought about paying for that.

940
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,000
Well, you know it's the thought 
that counts. 

941
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:47,200
Know, your gift. 
You are a gift. 

942
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,200
I got your gift. 
You don't even know how value 

943
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:57,300
you are. 
I mean, really majority of 

944
01:02:57,300 --> 01:03:02,400
Believers have no idea of how he
the immense treasure. 

945
01:03:03,100 --> 01:03:10,400
They are If you could only see 
yourself like crises, you, you'd

946
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:14,000
never have a down day. 
You never would, you would never

947
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,600
have a down day. 
It'd be light when it tried to 

948
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,000
show up. 
You like, we know how to unwrap 

949
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,200
this because on the inside is 
worth. 

950
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,200
Because you made me worthy. 
Come on. 

951
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,300
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
I don't have time to get down on

952
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:32,900
myself and beat myself up. 
I am a gift from God. 

953
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:37,600
Rob, because God made me a gift.
He employed me as a special 

954
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,500
gift. 
He's the one who put this on 

955
01:03:39,500 --> 01:03:42,400
there, he before I even showed 
up my mom's womb. 

956
01:03:42,700 --> 01:03:44,800
Had a purpose Destiny for my 
life. 

957
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:48,400
He called me a gift and he said 
I'm gonna unwrap you for the 

958
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:53,700
world. 
Now, here's the thing about a 

959
01:03:53,700 --> 01:03:55,400
gift. 
All right. 

960
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,400
Need lady. 
Thank you. 

961
01:03:58,400 --> 01:03:59,200
Come on. 
Thank you. 

962
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:00,700
It's fine. 
So my be bold. 

963
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:03,300
All right. 
Now here's the thing about a 

964
01:04:03,308 --> 01:04:06,400
gift. 
I have a gift refuse it though. 

965
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,300
Okay swear. 
Hey, I want to give this to you.

966
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:15,200
Listen, I want to give this gift
to you know, you really need 

967
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:19,900
this. 
Seriously, take the gift. 

968
01:04:21,100 --> 01:04:25,800
Yeah, supposed to stay in 
character. 

969
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:26,900
Lady. 
What's wrong with you? 

970
01:04:28,300 --> 01:04:29,800
I'll give it to you. 
Hold on. 

971
01:04:31,300 --> 01:04:33,300
Got an example, Jesus would 
never take it back. 

972
01:04:33,900 --> 01:04:39,000
She got out of character. 
All right, listen, most 

973
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,700
Believers, most Believers. 
We know the world's already in a

974
01:04:42,700 --> 01:04:46,900
bad spot, but most Believers 
won't receive the gift even 

975
01:04:46,900 --> 01:04:49,800
though God's trying to give it. 
Oh no, I don't need it. 

976
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,000
I don't deserve that. 
At. 

977
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:56,800
Oh, you shouldn't have 
Michelle's. 

978
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,700
We said that night now. 
You shouldn't have gotten. 

979
01:04:59,900 --> 01:05:03,400
What is that? 
Basically, you're saying I don't

980
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,100
value that. 
You think about me? 

981
01:05:08,300 --> 01:05:11,600
That's good. 
That's called it's called Pride.

982
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,200
Really, why did you burn 
yourself and get me a gift? 

983
01:05:16,500 --> 01:05:19,400
I don't care if it was a burden 
to them, you understand. 

984
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:23,900
They're releasing a gift by 
giving and they're sewing and 

985
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:25,000
they're bringing creamed 
impressed. 

986
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:29,800
I mean we let I man so glad you 
thought about me, my God, I am. 

987
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:33,000
Wow, you are. 
Wow, that's awesome. 

988
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,700
You are such a blessing to my 
life, right, let's just go ahead

989
01:05:35,700 --> 01:05:40,600
and lavish their gift that they 
gave us a gift instead of having

990
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,800
this false humility. 
All, you know, you should. 

991
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:47,300
I can't I can't. 
Oh yeah, you can. 

992
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:54,700
And you do with other. 
Sometimes we don't want gifts 

993
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:58,000
when the ones giving us the gift
look less than us. 

994
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,900
Because we think they need it 
more than us. 

995
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,700
I'll never forget the lesson. 
The lord gave me when I went and

996
01:06:09,700 --> 01:06:14,700
preached in Nicaragua went to a 
church 10 Walton I'm talking 

997
01:06:14,700 --> 01:06:21,000
just laid up, 10 corrugated 
metal, Lay it on, you know, some

998
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:27,500
little Shanty would dirt floor. 
Had a concrete slab for the 

999
01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:33,900
platform plastic, chairs on the 
dirt floor and I preached I 

1000
01:06:33,900 --> 01:06:37,700
preached, and I preached in many
churches in Nicaragua. 

1001
01:06:38,700 --> 01:06:42,600
Okay. 
It was in the it was in the 

1002
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:47,100
earthquake area downtown around 
the capital actually but it was 

1003
01:06:47,100 --> 01:06:49,400
a slum city. 
So to speak, it was like a 

1004
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:53,900
pop-up City or, you know, 
residents so he's there. 

1005
01:06:54,900 --> 01:06:59,300
I've been in nicer churches. 
This guy gives me an offering. 

1006
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:04,700
After I preached. 
Gave me the offering. 

1007
01:07:04,700 --> 01:07:07,900
Now, it wasn't a whole lot and 
Cordova's. 

1008
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,800
But I'm like man I'm not taking 
this, I mean I'm on dirt floors 

1009
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:13,800
right now. 
I am not. 

1010
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,300
I am giving this back to this 
pasture and I'll never forget 

1011
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:20,500
the Lord says are you? 
He says if you give it back to 

1012
01:07:20,500 --> 01:07:23,200
him it does nothing for him 
because it can't do nothing for 

1013
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,300
him now. 
But if you get it in your hands,

1014
01:07:25,300 --> 01:07:27,200
I can multiply that seated does 
more. 

1015
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,000
If you'll take that thing, then 
you give it back and thinking 

1016
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,100
bad about him or feeling bad for
him because he got dirt floors. 

1017
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,100
I'll get rid of his dirt floors.
You can take the dog on gift. 

1018
01:07:36,700 --> 01:07:39,900
I said I got it. 
And I thanked him for, 

1019
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:42,100
appreciate it. 
It's all the real value in the 

1020
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:51,900
gift and quit, living by sight. 
Because you know what, it was a 

1021
01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:56,900
sacrifice but that sacrifice 
brought great dividends. 

1022
01:07:56,900 --> 01:08:00,900
Now I'm not seeing that I've not
gone back to that place. 

1023
01:08:00,900 --> 01:08:04,500
I'm not seen anything dick but I
know my I know the word of God. 

1024
01:08:04,700 --> 01:08:10,300
It has to happen that way. 
So somebody comes you're 

1025
01:08:10,300 --> 01:08:13,500
thinking Hub, you know, I have 
so much and you're giving me, I 

1026
01:08:13,500 --> 01:08:16,800
can't, but you better take it 
smile and thank them and lavish 

1027
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,600
them. 
And say my gosh is awesome. 

1028
01:08:19,100 --> 01:08:22,600
So you can take it now. 
Okay, hold on, just stay right 

1029
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,899
here. 
Now what good is? 

1030
01:08:24,899 --> 01:08:28,899
This gift? 
If she never unwraps it, And 

1031
01:08:28,899 --> 01:08:31,000
I've given it to her. 
It's hers. 

1032
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,100
Now, it's hers. 
She's going to keep this gift. 

1033
01:08:33,100 --> 01:08:35,700
I am not taking this thing to 
the house, right? 

1034
01:08:35,700 --> 01:08:39,100
Cuz once got this irrevocable, 
are you hear me? 

1035
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,100
All right. 
I need a guy. 

1036
01:08:44,399 --> 01:08:47,700
Come on somebody. 
Look at y'all. 

1037
01:08:47,899 --> 01:08:49,600
Listen. 
Y'all got to learn how to 

1038
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,500
receive gifts. 
That's your problem. 

1039
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:57,100
I mean, that the church has 
gotten religious I mean if Jesus

1040
01:08:57,100 --> 01:09:01,700
said I Gotta Give well I just 
I'll be humble. 

1041
01:09:01,700 --> 01:09:05,399
I mean I'm like running down 
there, come on Jihad, take the 

1042
01:09:05,399 --> 01:09:09,200
gift whatever. 
I mean it's a get boom run out 

1043
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:10,800
of said I got a hundred million 
dollars right here. 

1044
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:12,800
All y'all been beating each 
other to death and get down 

1045
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,399
here. 
Right. 

1046
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:24,899
So once again, we move based 
upon site, Because you don't 

1047
01:09:24,899 --> 01:09:27,600
know, this could be a three bars
of gold. 

1048
01:09:28,399 --> 01:09:36,300
It's not But you don't know 
what's in it, right? 

1049
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:40,200
Not only get your hopes up lies 
going to be some that's not it's

1050
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,899
just token, but it's fun. 
Okay. 

1051
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,500
My point is, is most of the time
because, again, the whole thing 

1052
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:47,300
about gifts is you're still 
having to live by faith because 

1053
01:09:47,300 --> 01:09:51,500
you really don't know what's in.
But even if you know, what's in 

1054
01:09:51,500 --> 01:09:55,400
it, you still have to unwrap it 
to use it. 

1055
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,800
You hear what I'm saying? 
So Paul blast scripture says 

1056
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,100
this and I'll let y'all unwrap 
them. 

1057
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:04,200
Second, Timothy chapter 4 verse 
6. 

1058
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,400
And 8 he says this and this 
should all be our lives guys. 

1059
01:10:06,500 --> 01:10:09,300
He said for I am already being 
poured out as a drink offering. 

1060
01:10:09,300 --> 01:10:11,300
What's he saying? 
I am unwrapped man. 

1061
01:10:11,300 --> 01:10:15,500
I have unwrap my whole life. 
In this planet, his last letter 

1062
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:18,200
to Timothy. 
This is just before Paul get 

1063
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,300
some martyred and he's going on 
to be a little. 

1064
01:10:20,300 --> 01:10:22,900
He knows his time is going. 
He says this and the time of my 

1065
01:10:22,900 --> 01:10:24,600
departure has come. 
Look what. 

1066
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,000
He says. 
He said I fought the good fight.

1067
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,600
Fight. 
I have finished the course. 

1068
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,800
I have let God unwrap every bit 
of my life. 

1069
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,600
So at the end of the day, every 
gift that was in me. 

1070
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:38,000
I'd love to have your Earth and 
he left it in the Earth because 

1071
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:44,100
we're reading his gift still. 
Today, we're still unwrapping, 

1072
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:49,700
Paul's presents. 
That when the Holy Ghost moved 

1073
01:10:49,700 --> 01:10:52,900
on him to pin these letters to 
the churches over half of the 

1074
01:10:52,900 --> 01:10:56,200
New Testament. 
We're reading them now. 

1075
01:10:56,700 --> 01:11:01,000
Thank God Paul release his gift 
in the earth. 

1076
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:09,000
So that we 2,000 years later, 
our unwrapping spiritual truths 

1077
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:18,000
from one man's writings. 
That when they be left him for 

1078
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,600
dead shipwreck, all the 
tragedies of his life. 

1079
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,600
He said I count my life as 
nothing. 

1080
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,800
I gotta leave it out here, man. 
I gotta release this gift. 

1081
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,300
God forbid, I don't do this 
thing. 

1082
01:11:31,300 --> 01:11:34,500
I can't be offended. 
Now, can't take him in a fist 

1083
01:11:34,500 --> 01:11:36,700
for my own countrymen, who don't
want nothing to do. 

1084
01:11:36,700 --> 01:11:38,600
I can't get offended by this 
stuff. 

1085
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,300
I can't live bitter. 
I got to unwrap that junk in 

1086
01:11:41,300 --> 01:11:45,800
just Walking love live this 
life. 

1087
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:47,500
Here he is saying, man, I fought
it. 

1088
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,400
I've come to the end. 
I finished my course, I have 

1089
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,600
kept the faith. 
And in the future, there is laid

1090
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,500
up for me, the crown of 
righteousness, which the Lord, 

1091
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:01,100
the righteous judge will award 
me on that day. 

1092
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:10,500
And not only me but also to all,
to all, to all who loved his 

1093
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:11,800
appearing. 
How do I know? 

1094
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,100
Do you love his appearing 
because you can't help but give 

1095
01:12:15,100 --> 01:12:21,500
your gift away constantly. 
I am who I am, because God made 

1096
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:23,800
me who I am. 
And who am I to keep that for 

1097
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,100
myself? 
It was for the world. 

1098
01:12:26,700 --> 01:12:29,700
It was for the church, it was 
for the world, it's for anyone. 

1099
01:12:29,700 --> 01:12:32,200
