Message podcast from st. 
Augustine Florida. 

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:22,800
Now enjoy this message. 
One of the things that I want to

4
00:00:22,808 --> 00:00:26,700
visit with tonight and I'm going
to pray before we get started is

5
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:29,000
you know Lord has been dealing 
with me on some stuff just 

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,100
getting us ready for next. 
Year, you know, having now, one 

7
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:36,400
year behind us in the mall and 
taking a look at, you know, the 

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,300
vision taking a, look at the 
cost of vision, all right? 

9
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:44,200
The provision and everything 
that you know, I began to seek 

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,900
the Lord about it. 
As far as you know, what is it 

11
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:50,800
that you need us to do? 
What is it that you need from us

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,500
to be able to experience exactly
what you planned? 

13
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,000
When you told pastor this was we
were going to have them all and 

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,700
and we have it. 
All right? 

15
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:03,500
So We're going to we're going to
discuss some of that stuff at 

16
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:04,500
tonight. 
All right. 

17
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,700
So let's have a word of prayer 
and then we're going, it's going

18
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,000
to be Bible intensive. 
I'm going to take you through 

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,100
the Bible tonight. 
All right, so let's pray father,

20
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:15,300
we thank you and praise you for 
the opportunity to come into 

21
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:19,300
your presence. 
And as we wrap up the year 2022,

22
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:24,300
we thank you and praise you. 
That we want to prepare 

23
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:27,900
ourselves to seek your face, 
like we never had before to 

24
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,500
receive the blessings that you 
have for us to be able to 

25
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:33,600
Enlighten us on everything that 
you have need that we do in 

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,300
these last days. 
Father, we know that you've 

27
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:38,800
given our pain and we just 
thinking pretty sure. 

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800
There's we go over to the word 
tonight that we would, we would 

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,100
see one particular thing that we
know you want us to have. 

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,500
And it answers all the questions
that we have in every Arena of 

31
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,500
provision and finance and and 
wealth. 

32
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:54,800
And those different things that 
you've laid out in your word, 

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,000
for us is summed up in one word 
and we're going to find that out

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
tonight and we want to give you 
thanks for it in Jesus name. 

35
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:00,800
Name. 
Amen. 

36
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:04,500
Amen I am going all the way back
to the Book of Genesis but I'm 

37
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,300
going to go to the third 
chapter. 

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,000
You got I was going to go to the
first chapter. 

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
All right, we're gonna go to the
third chapter. 

40
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,900
Because most of us know, the 
plan of creation that God had 

41
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:20,800
and that he said, we're going to
make man in our own image. 

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,900
We are going to bless him. 
We're going to put him in the 

43
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:24,100
you know we're going to put him 
in a garden. 

44
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:25,400
He's going to dress it and keep 
it. 

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,800
He gave him one commandment. 
He said don't eat of the tree in

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,200
the middle of the garden. 
The fruit of the tree of the 

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,800
knowledge of Good and Evil. 
The day you eat it. 

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,300
You will surely die. 
Okay. 

49
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,200
Now we didn't say you will 
surely drop dead. 

50
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,000
We know that he didn't die 
physically, he died spiritually.

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,600
All right, but we go to the 
Third. 

52
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:44,900
Chapter after this event 
happens. 

53
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:49,800
And they went, they were 
basically tricked by Satan. 

54
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Eve was and we come to the 
curses, okay, and God is looking

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,200
for, Adam, Adam is hit himself. 
He's made clothes out of fig. 

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,000
Leaves God comes ask the 
question. 

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,400
Okay, where are you Adam? 
All right, not that he didn't 

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,000
know where he was. 
He just wanted to make sure Adam

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,100
knew he was in a place. 
He shouldn't be. 

60
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,300
That's that's the point. 
So The question that that I've, 

61
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,400
you know, I've always to ask is 
that when he he said that and he

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,400
began to he began to put the 
curses in effect, he cursed 

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Satan and or the serpent at the 
time, he cursed at childbearing 

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,100
any. 
But do you remember what he 

65
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:32,100
cursed with Adam? 
The soil of the ground. 

66
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:35,500
He said in sorrow, now, you're 
going to have to work for your 

67
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:37,100
provision. 
It was all about provision. 

68
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:38,900
Do you remember that? 
Okay? 

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,800
And then as so by the the work, 
the toil and we've called it had

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,800
a friend of mine that calls it, 
he said the Earth curse system 

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400
and that people enter in the 
earth curse system, working toil

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,900
and trying to figure out how to 
make a buck. 

73
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:53,800
What's the next thing moving 
that we need to make a buck? 

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,200
We need a buck. 
We got to have another Buck. 

75
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:58,400
All right, how do we make the 
next Buck? 

76
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:01,200
You know who's out there? 
Needing what we Nee, a, we can 

77
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,900
do to get the buck and so the 
Earth care system. 

78
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:09,000
It has that, that just that 
basically continual cycle that 

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,100
happened. 
And, and here's what you need to

80
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:15,500
know that that particular 
lifestyle is Curse God, put it 

81
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:20,000
in effect. 
Now we Joe gets off the arc and 

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,400
then it says God said to him, I 
will no longer curse the ground 

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,400
for man's sake. 
That is in opposition to what he

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,500
said to Adam. 
He said Adam the Sound is cursed

85
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,600
for your sake. 
Now because of you, this curse 

86
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,000
has come on the earth, the 
provision and the fact that it's

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,700
not going to yield to you. 
It's Bounty like it once did is 

88
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:46,900
curse and you did it but then he
comes to Noah and he lets him 

89
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:50,900
know after everything's cleaned 
up and we get to start over. 

90
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:55,000
It said I will no longer and 
this is the eighth chapter of 

91
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,300
Genesis. 
I'll no longer curse the ground 

92
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:02,800
for man's sake and then you Art 
seeing things happen in men's 

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,600
lives that. 
Let you know that we're seeing 

94
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,400
some increase now. 
Immediately not not a good 

95
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,200
ending story, Noah built, you 
know, planted a Vineyard and 

96
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,100
said he got drunk, and all kind 
of crazy things happened after 

97
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:20,700
that, but they begin to see it. 
So when we come from that, then 

98
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:24,200
let's go to the 12th chapter. 
Okay? 

99
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,200
And and next year, I'm going to 
encourage you. 

100
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400
This is this an early challenge,
okay? 

101
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:33,600
That last several times I've had
a chance to minister and you 

102
00:05:33,608 --> 00:05:38,300
guys have been there all of you.
I'm sure, you know, I picked up 

103
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:42,300
a little campaign that Rick 
Renner had called Revival of the

104
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:46,200
Bible, right? 
And then what did I say Revival 

105
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,300
of the paper Bible? 
All right, there you go. 

106
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,700
She's getting my vibes already 
and it was across town, all 

107
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,400
right? 
And so when we talk about that 

108
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,600
and I made some comments, you 
know, on and Pastor it's funny 

109
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,500
because I don't know if he 
listens to what we get up and 

110
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:06,900
preach or not. 
I have to think that he does. 

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,200
All right? 
I mean I just can't imagine him 

112
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,600
just letting us all go. 
Whatever they bring, you know, 

113
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,600
and, and I just can't imagine 
that. 

114
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,000
But, you know, he said some 
things talking about people 

115
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,100
scrolling on their phones while 
he's trying to preach. 

116
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:23,600
And I mentioned that in my 
message, I said, listen, don't 

117
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,100
you think the devil was smart 
enough that that time that the 

118
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:29,000
minister is getting ready to say
something that you've been 

119
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,400
wondering about that. 
All of a sudden your phone on, 

120
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,000
vibrate would go buddy. 
And there'd be something show up

121
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,300
on there. 
Somebody doesn't realize you're 

122
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:42,800
in church and I've had that 
happen in for so many times and 

123
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,400
then all of a sudden, you know, 
you get this hitch to answer And

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200
the pastor still going on, but 
you're playing on your phone and

125
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,000
pastors calling people out. 
He knows the kids do it. 

126
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:55,700
You know, I think he'd be 
shocked and out. 

127
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,000
How many adults do it, all 
right, and I said just stop the 

128
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,700
insanity of distraction and 
bring that paper Bible. 

129
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:08,000
That's your first challenge for 
2023 whenever we come together. 

130
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,300
Pastors Ministry. 
Bring the paper Bible. 

131
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:14,400
You need a cookie malli. 
I need a cookie. 

132
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,900
She needs an all right. 
Bring your paper roll. 

133
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:18,600
Bible. 
Now here's the thing, they've 

134
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,600
spoiled Us Rotten Happening by 
putting it on screen, okay? 

135
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:26,400
But the thing is is that you 
know this year I purposed in my 

136
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,800
heart that I wasn't going to use
my phone to follow along now, 

137
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400
every now and then I'll grab the
phone because they say a word 

138
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,000
that I want to know what the 
meaning is of it. 

139
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,300
And I got an app that shows me 
every Greek and Hebrew word in 

140
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:42,400
the Bible. 
So I use that as far as like, 

141
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,200
you know, when he saying that 
particular word or whatever, 

142
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,900
I'll immediate go to it, touch 
it, right? 

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,800
Write it down in my notes. 
Okay. 

144
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,300
Now, John George said something 
when we were here, he said your 

145
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:56,100
pastor takes notes, all you men 
ought to be taking notes, okay? 

146
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:58,000
And I'm not, I wouldn't know 
take her. 

147
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,800
I I married one. 
Right? 

148
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,300
I married a note-taker. 
All right and she takes really 

149
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,800
good notes but can I be honest 
with you, I've never one time. 

150
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,900
Looked at any her notes. 
I have not I mean, I'm watching 

151
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:18,300
her right. 
Um, honey that's good. 

152
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:19,600
Your handwriting still really 
good. 

153
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,500
Yeah, but I've never sat down at
any given time and opened that 

154
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:25,900
up. 
Just see what she took. 

155
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,100
So what goods that doing me. 
All right, so, you know, I came 

156
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,600
up with anything I can get you a
copy of. 

157
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,600
It's called a little note taker 
tells me the date and whole bit 

158
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,900
and I bring one in my Bible just
like that. 

159
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,200
And I just take, that's all the 
notes you're going to get is 12 

160
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,900
pages, but I'm pretty precise. 
How I do my notes? 

161
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:46,800
Because one, what do I want? 
I want all the scriptures. 

162
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Well, that's plenty enough. 
If they give us that many 

163
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,700
scriptures, it fills up the one 
whole sheet, then we have got a 

164
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:57,000
lot of scriptures, right? 
So yeah, yeah. 

165
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,300
So yeah. 
So I want to encourage you, you 

166
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:03,000
know, let's get back to the 
paper Bible and eliminate 

167
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,300
distraction. 
Okay, can we do that? 

168
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:09,500
Now, listen, I want to go to the
next next part of talking. 

169
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:15,900
Of the the Genesis chapter 12 
and I'm going to read it to you.

170
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:19,700
Genesis chapter 12 is so 
important because you know, 

171
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:22,500
learned quite a bit in the study
this year of looking at it. 

172
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:26,700
But this is, this is God coming 
to Abram at the time. 

173
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,200
And it says, now, listen to what
he says, and I'm going to point 

174
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,200
out a few things that we need to
remember and going into next 

175
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,800
year, he said now the Lord said 
to Abram get thee out of thy 

176
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600
country and from thy Kindred, 
and from thy, father's house 

177
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,600
with a bless you and I will Make
your name great and you shall be

178
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,500
a blessing and I will bless them
that bless you curse them that 

179
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:49,300
curse you and in all the family 
and and in the all the families 

180
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:52,600
of the Earth shall be blessed. 
Now, I think it's interesting 

181
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,200
because the next verse says, 
Abram departed as as the Lord 

182
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,200
had spoken to him. 
Immediately. 

183
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,100
I mean, you know, as soon as he 
heard the Lord speak he took 

184
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,900
off. 
But notice what he said in here.

185
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,600
He said, listen, I am going to 
bless you. 

186
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:14,400
I want you to jot this word down
in the Hebrew. 

187
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:18,700
It is the word. 
Barack be a Rak Brock. 

188
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:24,300
It basically is talking about 
the blessings and, and to a 

189
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:27,200
point that you are well 
respected. 

190
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,200
You know, you people will be 
able to notice that. 

191
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,500
There's something about you. 
He said I'm going to bless you, 

192
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,100
but then he said, I'm going to 
make You a blessing? 

193
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,800
It's interesting. 
The words are different. 

194
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,100
In the word, he's going to 
bless. 

195
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,700
I Will Bless. 
You is a verb and the word. 

196
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,400
You will be a blessing is a 
noun. 

197
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:56,700
So, in order to get to the noun 
blessing, You've got to have the

198
00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:03,000
action of being blessed. 
Okay, and we're going to see how

199
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,400
it comes every time. 
All right, so he's in here and 

200
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,800
he says in there I'll make the 
great nation. 

201
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,200
All Families, All Families, not 
just Jewish families, not just 

202
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,300
Hebrew families. 
All right, all families of the 

203
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:21,700
earth will be blessed because of
you. 

204
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:25,300
Now think about it. 
He told him I'm going to make 

205
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,700
you a great nation. 
That was part of the blessing. 

206
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:34,600
And if you think about it, when 
he's me, when he, when he told 

207
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,900
him, I want to make you a 
blessing. 

208
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:39,800
And again, think of how hard 
that was 21 receive that word. 

209
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,600
Because how are you going to 
become a great nation? 

210
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,600
If you can't even have kids, All
right. 

211
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:51,800
So there's going to be some 
Faith involved. 

212
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600
And what have we determined? 
Faith is Faith and just simply 

213
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,800
believing their whatever God 
says is true. 

214
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:04,200
And begin to act as if it's 
true. 

215
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,900
Hopefully, next year. 
Pastoral let me do. 

216
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:12,000
I been wanting to do a lesson on
face greatest enemies, okay? 

217
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,700
And one of the greatest enemies 
to Faith is failure to act like 

218
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:20,600
the word is true. 
Most people act like, okay, 

219
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:27,700
remember faith is not you know 
being in denial about the facts.

220
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:33,800
They simply calls things that be
not as though they were okay, so

221
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,800
when we have Abram, we have him.
He's going to be blessed. 

222
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,400
Take a look. 
I've got just a couple of 

223
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,500
scriptures in their, the 27th. 
Chapter of Genesis, we have the 

224
00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:44,900
account and this is hilarious. 
Really? 

225
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:47,300
Because Isaac. 
Okay, we've got, you know, we 

226
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:52,900
got Isaac Isaac's getting ready?
He says he's dimming his side. 

227
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,400
He can't see very good. 
He says this, I don't know when 

228
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,500
I'm gonna die. 
But he says, if you will go and 

229
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:03,900
he calls, Esau, he said if 
you'll go prepare venison for me

230
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:06,700
and everything. 
If you come back I will bless 

231
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:08,500
you. 
I will give you the blessing. 

232
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:11,500
What everybody knew what that 
was. 

233
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,900
Everybody knew that he that is 
going to pronounce the blessing 

234
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:18,100
on me. 
And so he leaves remember and it

235
00:13:18,108 --> 00:13:24,100
says Rebecca heard it and told 
Jacob to go get, you know, go so

236
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:26,800
that we could prepare all of 
this, all right? 

237
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,800
And then if you remember, he 
came, he came and he gave the 

238
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:35,200
blessing to Jacob brother comes 
in later and and is all upset 

239
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,700
because he ain't going to get 
the blessing. 

240
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,000
Think about it. 
All the blessing was wrapped up 

241
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,900
in what dad was going to speak 
over them. 

242
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,900
That is what we need to know 
about the blessing of God. 

243
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:53,200
It comes by him speaking over 
us. 

244
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,200
One of my favorite stories in 
the Bible. 

245
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,500
As far as accounts. 
Really not just a story. 

246
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,200
Is Joseph. 
And next year, the first few 

247
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,900
months I'm going to talk about 
some things that we can learn 

248
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:14,200
from Joseph and his whole life 
that will encourage us and 

249
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,700
increase us in our ability to 
handle more and more and more 

250
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,600
provision. 
But tonight I want to look at 

251
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,100
one little thing that was said 
about Joseph in the 39 chapter. 

252
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,300
We find out is that Joseph was 
brought down from Egypt and 

253
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:34,200
potiphar and officer of pharaoh 
like a captain of the guard in 

254
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,100
Egyptian. 
Bought him from the hands of the

255
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:40,600
ishmaelites which had brought 
him down from where his father 

256
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,600
was. 
Now I think it's interesting 

257
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,200
because you know it says is he a
captain of the Guard? 

258
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:50,400
You know, you look that up and 
basically that word is defined 

259
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:56,100
the Executioner. 
But what is interesting? 

260
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:59,700
It also goes back to somebody 
that can handle. 

261
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Now I thought that was crazy but
then I got to thinking about it.

262
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,700
Remember the two guys that got 
put into? 

263
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:11,800
And it said the prison and and 
it and it has the appearance, 

264
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:17,100
this was poppers prison. if 
you'll, if you reduce his prison

265
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,700
and he had two guys from the 
kitchen, In the prison. 

266
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:26,700
So he might have been the chef. 
You know, and of course you 

267
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:29,200
know, you're going to cleave 
some meat. 

268
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,300
Then you'd probably say, you 
know what? 

269
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:33,200
I got somebody, I need you to 
take care of. 

270
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:39,900
And and they probably know how 
to execute pretty well, but I 

271
00:15:39,908 --> 00:15:42,000
thought that was an interesting 
because we've always had a 

272
00:15:42,008 --> 00:15:46,300
picture painted of a guy that 
was a soldier, but basically go 

273
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:49,000
look that up is that, you know, 
the captain of the host is 

274
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,200
there. 
He says, but let notice this, he

275
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,200
said and the Lord was with 
Joseph verse 2 and he was a 

276
00:15:55,208 --> 00:15:59,400
prosperous man and he was in the
house of his master, the 

277
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,900
Egyptian and his master saw that
the Lord was with him and that 

278
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,600
the Lord made. 
All that he did to prosper in 

279
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,800
his hand and Joseph found Grace 
in his sight, and he served him 

280
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:15,500
and he made him overseer over 
his house and all that. 

281
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:19,000
He had put into his hand and 
then he goes on and he said, and

282
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,500
he came to pass that had made 
him overseer and over him. 

283
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:25,800
And the Lord blessed the 
Egyptian house, that is the same

284
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,700
Greek Hebrew word of the word 
blessed. 

285
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:32,300
When he said Abraham, I'm going 
to make you a blessing, the same

286
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:39,000
word but notice who got just, 
Potiphar got blessed because 

287
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,600
that's exactly what it said. 
You said, the Lord blessed the 

288
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,800
Egyptians house for Joseph's 
sake and blessed the blessing of

289
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,800
the Lord, excuse me. 
What's going on? 

290
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:54,100
It was upon all that he had in 
the house and in the field so 

291
00:16:54,100 --> 00:17:00,200
all the provision that he had. 
All right, he attributed and 

292
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,400
even noticed it was because of 
the blessing that was on his his

293
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,700
life. 
Now I think it's interesting 

294
00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,800
because, you know, we talked 
about prosperity and I've taught

295
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,500
on him for years. 
That the word Prosper here 

296
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,800
doesn't mean the accumulation of
things because he had no things.

297
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,800
His brothers didn't tell him, 
you know, hang on a second and 

298
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,200
we're going to pack you some 
bags. 

299
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:25,099
Okay? 
You're going to need something 

300
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:29,600
because you're going on a trip. 
The only thing he had was the 

301
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,500
clothes on his back and some 
chains. 

302
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,500
And they delivered him down 
there as a slave. 

303
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,800
So when he gets into this guy's 
house, it said that the Lord was

304
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,700
with him and that what the Lord 
made all that he did the Lord 

305
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:46,400
made all that. 
He did prosper in his hand and 

306
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,200
he said he found Grace in his 
sight but it said the Lord 

307
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:56,300
blessed his house. 
And so we see again, what it is 

308
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:59,900
say All Families will be blessed
because of you. 

309
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,200
And the Simplicity of all that 
we understand about Abram going 

310
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,300
to Abraham, alright is the fact 
he heard God, tell him 

311
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:13,900
something, he believed it and 
they're acted on it. 

312
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,400
And the blessing came. 
All right, the activity came, I 

313
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,400
don't see Abram as far as, you 
know, somebody. 

314
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,100
I mean, think about it. 
You know, he gets into a 

315
00:18:25,108 --> 00:18:28,800
situation with his nephew lot, 
what was it about? 

316
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:30,500
You know, I don't like your hair
color. 

317
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,400
I don't like the clothes. 
You wear, I don't like it was 

318
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,800
all about their provision, their
flocks and their herds man could

319
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,900
not get along with each other. 
So they had to make a split. 

320
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:46,100
They had so much substance. 
So, God is basically, In him and

321
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:49,500
continual, bless him, bless him.
Now, it's getting down to the 

322
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:53,400
kids, even Jacob. 
I mean, when it came time the 

323
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,500
Lord was blessing him and told 
him, I'm going to bless you. 

324
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:59,400
I'm going to take care of you 
until I bring you back to your 

325
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,200
father's house in peace. 
And so we see we see them 

326
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,900
blessing but here's a scripture 
that I just been meditating, I 

327
00:19:06,908 --> 00:19:11,400
encourage you to do the same. 
Its proverbs 10 verse 22. 

328
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,800
And isn't what it says. 
The blessing of the Lord maketh 

329
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:27,400
rich and adds no sorrow with it.
The word sorrow is from the same

330
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:33,900
root as the word sorrow in 
Genesis, when the Lord put a 

331
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:38,900
curse or God put a curse on the 
land and told Adam listen 

332
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:43,700
Because Of You, the ground is 
cursed and now through sorrow, 

333
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:48,000
you will cultivate and try to 
reap a harvest the rest of your 

334
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,300
life. 
The word sorrow. 

335
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:55,800
There is the word worrisome. so 
when we, when we take a look and

336
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,200
we get into worry, we're 
entering back into a curse. 

337
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,300
That God never intended as have.
But he said the blessing of the 

338
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:07,100
Lord maketh rich and adds no 
sorrow. 

339
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:11,300
No, worry. 
And again toil or or hard labor 

340
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:13,600
to it. 
How do we know that? 

341
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,800
Because we look at Jesus 
teachings, what'd he say, don't 

342
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,600
worry about what you're going to
eat drink or where your father 

343
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,300
knows, it knows you have Nina 
the Lord. 

344
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,700
Let's talk a little bit about 
the blessing of the Lord, 

345
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:29,100
because believe it or not, it is
already been spoken over us. 

346
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:36,100
Galatians chapter 3. 
Paul writing to the church at 

347
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:46,000
galatia. 
And I think this is interesting 

348
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:48,800
the requirements of getting the 
blessing. 

349
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:53,500
Activated in our live very, 
very, very simple. 

350
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,500
In Galatians chapter 3 in verse 
13. 

351
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:02,200
Listen to this Christ has 
redeemed us from the curse of 

352
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,600
the law being made a curse for 
us for it is written. 

353
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,300
Cursed, is everyone that hangs 
on a tree that The Blessing of 

354
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:12,000
Abraham might come on the 
Gentiles through Jesus Christ 

355
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,600
that we might receive the 
promise of the spirit through 

356
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,000
faith. two things he's talking 
about there one, The Blessing of

357
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,700
Abraham, And two, he's talking 
the promise of the spirit but 

358
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:27,000
notice is it's both through 
faith. 

359
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:32,900
And what again is faith, faith 
is ability to hear God and 

360
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:35,500
believe it and begin to conduct 
your life. 

361
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:42,200
According to what God has said 
So when he says in there, that 

362
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,000
he ate, Jesus has redeemed us 
from the curse of the law. 

363
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,200
He said that the blessing of 
Abraham, okay. 

364
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,500
We all know, but we're going to 
look at tonight, The Blessing of

365
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:54,900
Abraham. 
Now it's interesting because I 

366
00:21:54,900 --> 00:22:01,700
had to ask a question, you put 
the blessing of Abraham in the 

367
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:06,200
law. 
It just wasn't a document out 

368
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,100
here floating around somewhere 
and hope you get a copy of it. 

369
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:13,500
It was actually put in the law 
in Deuteronomy 28. 

370
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000
All right now, all I'm going to 
focus on is the first 15 verses 

371
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:21,300
but I want to take a look at it.
But the thing that I want to 

372
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:24,200
point out is the very, very, 
very first part of the chapter, 

373
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:30,200
okay? 
Because this is how we can 

374
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:36,000
invoke and get the blessing of 
God to operate in our lives and 

375
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,000
it is found in verse 1 and it It
shall come to pass if you will 

376
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,100
hearken diligently to the voice 
of the Lord, your God to observe

377
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,700
to do all of this Commandments, 
which I command you this day, 

378
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:52,600
that the Lord thy God will set 
the high above all the nations 

379
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,900
of the earth. 
And all of these blessings will 

380
00:22:55,900 --> 00:23:00,200
come on you and overtake you, if
you will hearken unto the voice 

381
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,900
of the Lord, your God, he 
listened and obeyed. 

382
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,300
Now, it's interesting in the 
Hebrew. 

383
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,500
The word harken. 
Is the same word for obey. 

384
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,100
In the Hebrew. 
So in other words, when God 

385
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:21,000
tells us something he doesn't 
tell us with an option. 

386
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,000
Even though being free moral 
agents, we can we can take an 

387
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,700
option. 
But he said, if you will hearken

388
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:31,300
diligently to the voice of the 
Lord, your God, and he puts that

389
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:35,400
word, if in there, you know, if 
then you shall hearken, all 

390
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,100
right? 
If is a conditional word, you 

391
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:41,300
may or may not choose to do it, 
but if you choose to do it, And 

392
00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:45,100
you Harkin and you obey of all 
the words that are coming out of

393
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:51,100
his mouth and instruction and in
in, you know, Commandments that 

394
00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:54,700
he has for us. 
Then he tells us in verse 2. 

395
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:58,600
He said, and, and all these 
blessings will come on you and 

396
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,600
overtake you. 
If you hearken to the voice of 

397
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,000
the Lord, your God and he begins
to talk and he said blessed, 

398
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,400
you'll be in the city bless 
you'll be in the field. 

399
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,300
Blessed, shall be the fruit of 
your body, the fruit of your 

400
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:10,800
ground, the fruit of your cattle
and the increase of that. 

401
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:13,700
And the flocks of thy sheep. 
Blessed, shall your basket? 

402
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:15,400
Be your basket in your store, 
blessed? 

403
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,700
Shall you be when you come in 
and blessed? 

404
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:20,200
Shall you be when you go out, 
the Lord will cause your enemies

405
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,300
that rise up against you to be 
smitten before your face, and 

406
00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:25,600
you shall come out against. 
They will come out against you 

407
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,400
one way, but flee, before you 7 
and the Lord shall command the 

408
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,800
blessing. 
Here's what we need to 

409
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,400
understand. 
It's not a blessing, it's the 

410
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:45,800
blessing. 
The blessing of the Lord, not a 

411
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,900
blessing of the Lord. 
It's the blessing of the Lord. 

412
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:53,100
Maketh Rich. 
All right. 

413
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,800
He said the Lord shall command 
his blessing upon you and your 

414
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,200
Storehouse is in all that you 
set your hand to do. 

415
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,400
And He will bless you in the 
land which the Lord has given 

416
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,600
you. 
He will establish you as a holy 

417
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:12,800
people to himself as he is sworn
in to the if That's Rapture 

418
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,900
practice. 
What in the world, Thou shalt 

419
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:18,100
keep the Commandments of the 
Lord thy God and walk in his way

420
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:21,100
and all the people of the Earth 
shall see that you are called by

421
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:23,400
the name of the Lord, and that 
you should, and they shall be 

422
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400
afraid of you. 
And the Lord will make you 

423
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,800
plenteous in Goods in the fruit 
of your body and the fruit of 

424
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,000
your cattle, the fruit of your 
ground, the land, which the 

425
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,200
Lord, swear unto the fathers to 
give you. 

426
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:35,700
He said, and the Lord shall open
to you, his good treasure having

427
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:37,500
to give rain in the land in his 
season. 

428
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,400
To bless all the work of your 
hand. 

429
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,800
You will lend a many nations. 
You shall narc. 

430
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:45,100
If you, that you hearken to the 
Commandments of the Lord thy 

431
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:48,700
God, which I command you this 
day and he said, and you shall 

432
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,200
not go aside from it, any of The
Words, which I command thee this

433
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,800
day, to the right hand, or the 
left to go after gods and serve 

434
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,800
them. 
And that is the end of the 

435
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:04,000
blessing, verse 15, through 68. 
Is a curses. 

436
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,000
Okay. 
So how do you get the cursors 

437
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,300
exactly in opposition to what he
just told you? 

438
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,300
I mean I'm not the brightest guy
in the world but I have figured 

439
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:21,900
out that hanging with God and 
doing what God says gets me on 

440
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:25,200
his good side. 
Right. 

441
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,000
But think about that, he gives 
all these and and the majority 

442
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,700
of them in there are provision. 
Protection. 

443
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,900
I mean, you know, if you got an 
enemy coming against you, you 

444
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:39,500
know, one way and he says, 
they'll be smitten before your 

445
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:42,100
face. 
I'm going to meditate on that a 

446
00:26:42,108 --> 00:26:45,000
little bit, especially the day 
in which we live. 

447
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,000
I mean, you know, I he said 
they'll flee before you said, 

448
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:56,300
but the key is, is following his
words because this is what we 

449
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,500
really, really, really want to 
realize is that Blessings come 

450
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:06,300
out of the mouth. 
That's how Isaac was going to 

451
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:08,400
bless Esau, and he ended up 
blessing. 

452
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,000
How do you do it? 
He began to speak the words of 

453
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,100
blessing and let him know this 
is what you can have. 

454
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,700
That's why Paul wrote. 
He's had all the promises of God

455
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:19,700
are. 
Yes and amen. 

456
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,500
So the thing we got to ask the 
question is, are we pursuing or 

457
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:29,200
learning or educating? 
When he said, seek first, the 

458
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,100
kingdom of God and his 
righteousness, the word seek in 

459
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:35,300
there is a Greek words that a 0 
and it just simply means to make

460
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:38,100
an inquiry. 
It's not God playing hide and 

461
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,400
seek. 
Okay I hope you guys find me. 

462
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:44,300
I imagine he'd be a pretty good 
Hider okay you know but he said 

463
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,700
that's not it. 
The words until means to inquire

464
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:51,100
to form an investigation. 
So he says seek first the The 

465
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:53,100
kingdom. 
In other words, investigate the 

466
00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:57,700
kingdom, inquire about the 
kingdom, ask questions about the

467
00:27:57,700 --> 00:28:01,600
kingdom, And God's 
righteousness. 

468
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,600
I like the I like the Amplified 
because it said God's way of 

469
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:10,000
being and doing right. 
So every situation that we find 

470
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,200
ourselves in, if we begin to 
speak the blessing of God over 

471
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,600
us and and, you know, I've been 
meditating some things about, 

472
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,400
you know, bills that are due and
different things like that. 

473
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:25,000
And you know the the guys at the
temple, ask Peter, does your 

474
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,900
master pay tribute or not? 
And you remember he went and he 

475
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:33,300
goes, yes, he pays tribute and 
he went into where Jesus and the

476
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:36,900
other guys were and it said 
Jesus prevented him or stopped 

477
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:39,500
him. 
And made a comment to him, he's 

478
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:41,600
a Peter. 
And I'm thinking how Off the 

479
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,800
Wall, he said, Peter, he said 
when the Kings or the 

480
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,900
magistrates of the world decided
to pay taxes. 

481
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,500
He said, do they go after their 
family or do? 

482
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,300
They go after strength 
strangers. 

483
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,300
And he goes, well, they go after
strangers and he said, so then 

484
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:01,800
he said, basically the family is
exempt. 

485
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,900
And he said so but that we don't
offend them. 

486
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:10,000
Go down to the Sea cast in a 
hook. 

487
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,100
The first fish that comes out, 
open his mouth, they'll be a 

488
00:29:13,108 --> 00:29:17,500
gold coin in there and Jesus 
said, go and pay the taxes for 

489
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:21,300
me and thee. 
And so on. 

490
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:23,600
I got to thinking about that. 
I said, you know, Lord, I said 

491
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,300
when it comes to 0 and taxes, I 
said you, you know, you told 

492
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,000
Peter that the children of the 
kingdom are exempt. 

493
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,000
I said, how can I get that 
activated? 

494
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,400
But you know what? 
It wasn't a, it wasn't the 

495
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:43,200
exempt of paying no taxes. 
It was finding the money when 

496
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,300
the taxes will do. 
And so I began to seek the Lord 

497
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:50,900
because I got some stuff coming 
up here pretty soon and I 

498
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:53,500
decided to do something a little
different, okay? 

499
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:58,200
And and it's a it's some 
equipment that I need to get to 

500
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,300
the, the short company to the 
next level, and I already 

501
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:05,600
committed for it, some things 
that I had in my mind planned 

502
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,200
that we were going to use to pay
for. 

503
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,500
It has not come into fruition 
yet. 

504
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:14,000
So I immediately thought. 
Okay lord, they're going to make

505
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,800
a demand And I told him I'm 
going to pay him and I need you 

506
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,800
to tell me where it's at. 
So I'm going to give you the 

507
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,800
rest of the story because it's 
got to happen here pretty soon. 

508
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200
And I'm going to, I am going to 
have it. 

509
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,200
I've already sold I taught you 
all year. 

510
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,000
So a seed name that seat. 
Did it done it. 

511
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,200
I did it months ago. 
All right. 

512
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,200
And you know, so I the question 
is, is little. 

513
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,700
Here's the problem though, is 
that we don't sit in the 

514
00:30:43,700 --> 00:30:46,200
presence of the Lord long enough
to find out the answer. 

515
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:53,200
You know, we're always trying to
come up with the toil beaten 

516
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,700
banging around trying to figure 
out how to make money when he 

517
00:30:56,700 --> 00:31:00,600
probably has a pretty good idea 
or something that we can do that

518
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,900
would invoke something to happen
to him about the particular 

519
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:06,200
needs that we have. 
Whether it's taxes, whether 

520
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,600
whatever it is and say, show me 
where it's at. 

521
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:13,600
I mean, you know, anybody can 
catch a multitude of fishes. 

522
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,400
Jesus tells you where to go. 
I mean, they fished all night 

523
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,700
and took nothing in Luke 5. 
And then because they were 

524
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:26,400
focused on the ministry of 
helping Jesus, get the message 

525
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,500
out, put him out in the little 
boat. 

526
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:31,200
He said go, he said, go get your
nets that they were clean. 

527
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,800
And when he showed up, right, he
said go get your nets and go 

528
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,300
into the deep and cast. 
All right? 

529
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,800
And they, he said nevertheless 
Lord at your word will do it the

530
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,400
best day in the fishing business
he'd ever had. and he had some 

531
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,400
Partners involved with him and 
you know and if you had more 

532
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,100
than one set of Partners, they 
probably would all come back 

533
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:58,200
with boats full of fish but 
Jesus has that ability that once

534
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,800
we start focusing on the words 
of Our Lord, See. 

535
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,500
Jesus didn't just cause those 
fish to jump out of the water 

536
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:11,000
and up on the shore. 
He told them, he said, go out 

537
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,700
and here they are just gather 
them in. 

538
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:18,100
See. 
Sometimes, you know, we need to 

539
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,400
take a look at our gathering 
devices. 

540
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:24,700
What is your net look like, is 
it, is it streamline? 

541
00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:29,000
I mean, have you got all the 
parts in it in operation? 

542
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,800
Are you taking care of things? 
Like you're counting? 

543
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,000
Are you taking care of things? 
Like, you know, you know your 

544
00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:39,900
your delivery dates You know 
what? 

545
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,500
How are you administrating? 
And that's going to be one of 

546
00:32:42,508 --> 00:32:46,800
the subjects that we talk about 
next year is Joseph's ability to

547
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,900
administrate and how he got the 
job because he'd already been 

548
00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:55,300
tested prior to seeing pharaoh 
and the question is, you know, 

549
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:58,400
the Lord usually I have found 
this to be true in even in my 

550
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,500
own life. 
The Lord only gives me what I 

551
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:07,800
can handle. so, if I want to 
handle more, I've got to prepare

552
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,200
myself. 
And one of the things that took 

553
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,200
me from, you know, barely barely
getting it. 

554
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,700
All right, back in Oklahoma was 
figuring out. 

555
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:22,400
I don't know what I'm doing 
about five about accounting, I 

556
00:33:22,408 --> 00:33:24,800
don't know the story, I don't 
know what a p&l is. 

557
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,100
I don't know what a balance 
sheets for, I don't know these 

558
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:30,300
things. 
And once I got that education, 

559
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:33,500
then all of a sudden things 
started making sense but I had 

560
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:38,700
to, I had to increase myself. 
In order to, and I taught a 

561
00:33:38,708 --> 00:33:42,300
series of when I first came down
here, Matt, you may have been 

562
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:46,400
there for a weekend, I pastor 
had me, come down, and it was 

563
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,000
basically preparing yourself, 
you know, to handle more money. 

564
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,900
Well, the question is, first of 
all, you got to realize you 

565
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:56,700
truly are blessed according to 
the law. 

566
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:03,100
I'm thinking to myself, you put 
that in the law that if we would

567
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:06,400
obey your words and pay 
attention to what you're telling

568
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,800
us. 
Then all these things can come 

569
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,800
on us and overtake us. 
You made that a law like 

570
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,199
gravity. 
I mean, you know, when you throw

571
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:19,300
something up, it's coming down. 
I mean, unless there's a miracle

572
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:21,900
happening. 
All right, or you have an 

573
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:26,199
airplane right and but we know 
some of them have come down. 

574
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:30,500
They just you know, it wasn't 
the a gravity is absent, they're

575
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,400
just another law that 
supersedes, gravity called lift 

576
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,699
and all things being equal, the 
thrust, the wing, the whole bit,

577
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:40,800
you're going to fly. 
I mean some cool stuff, man. 

578
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,900
I'm following Josh from India to
Helsinki and from Helsinki to 

579
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:50,400
New York, New York down here, 
you know, to Orlando. 

580
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,300
Mean, I could see it. 
I could the plant is just showed

581
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:55,900
you every few minutes where the 
plane was pretty cool. 

582
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:58,000
But, you know that that way. 
Yeah. 

583
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,100
And did you know that the the 
law of lift has always been in 

584
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:07,300
existence? 
It just man had to get to the 

585
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:10,500
place that God could. 
Give it to him. 

586
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,500
So that's what our goal is next.
Year is we got to get to the 

587
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:16,700
place that God can give it to 
us. 

588
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:21,300
It makes sense because we are 
blessed. 

589
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:24,400
According to the law said, The 
Blessing of Abraham will come on

590
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:24,800
you. 
Why? 

591
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,400
Because of Jesus work. 
But here's the thing, are we 

592
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,300
listening? 
And I said it a second. 

593
00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:36,300
Go, sometimes we don't sit down 
long enough and inquire and hear

594
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:39,600
what the next step is. 
I mean, one word from God, I've 

595
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,000
heard it all my life. 
One word from God can change 

596
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,800
your life. 
And it's going to usually be for

597
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,400
the better if you're doing, 
okay? 

598
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,800
Sometimes there's a word that he
needs to get to you to 

599
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,400
straighten out your squirrely, 
messed up mind. 

600
00:35:54,900 --> 00:35:58,600
But if we're under that, then 
you know what, we need to start 

601
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,600
speaking the blessing of God 
over our own lives. 

602
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:05,500
And reminding we know what you 
said. 

603
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,600
You said that. 
You'd bless all the work of my 

604
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,200
hands. 
You said, because he likes that.

605
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:15,000
I understand, he said, come and 
let us reason together. 

606
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,100
Let's talk about what I said. 
He loves hearing it. 

607
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:21,400
I mean, I love it when I go with
some buddies and I had to happen

608
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,500
to me Sunday morning, I'm 
sitting there and they said my 

609
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:27,900
magic word nobody knows his word
but me and it's the word Rabbit 

610
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:31,100
Trail and it seems like every 
time I hear the word Rabbit 

611
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:36,300
Trail, I am off and and and one 
question led to another 

612
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:40,500
question, I barely got the 
lesson done and, you know, and 

613
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:43,000
asking but the woman started 
quoting me. 

614
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:46,700
Well, let me remind you what you
said. 

615
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,500
And she did it to me twice, two 
different, two different, you 

616
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:57,600
know, diffe. 
Well you once said and I had to 

617
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:03,100
say in myself I said that it's 
something that I've said to 

618
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:08,000
everybody forever and ever but I
was thrilled that she remembered

619
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,000
it. 
I mean as it means you're paying

620
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,500
attention, that's one of the 
things. 

621
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:15,200
God gets out of bus if we can 
repeat to him. 

622
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,100
What the blessings are, we can 
repeat to him. 

623
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,900
What it is that he's done for us
instead of talking about what 

624
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:24,800
our problems are everyday. 
And we say, you know what, I got

625
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,400
this bill coming up or I got 
this other opportunity and the 

626
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,700
finances just aren't there, you 
know, Lord, I'm going to get 

627
00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:33,700
with you until you tell me what 
the next step is. 

628
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:41,900
Because he owns it all my dad, 
your dad, he owns everything. 

629
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,900
And if we start talking like, he
talks, guess what I think, we 

630
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:47,700
will start getting what he's 
got. 

631
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,400
Does that make sense? 
I mean, I don't want to be 

632
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:57,000
profound or nothing but I mean 
to me amazing thing is is that 

633
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,800
you know, we've got to quit 
looking at where we are and get 

634
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,000
back into the word and believe 
it. 

635
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,900
It said, you know, Abraham 
believed God and it was counted 

636
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:08,300
unto him as righteousness. 
What again, the righteous and it

637
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:11,500
was counted unto him of being 
able to do what God does. 

638
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:16,200
Right standing. 
Not only that but how to do 

639
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,100
things, right? 
That's what I want to do. 

640
00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:20,600
I want to do things, right? 
I don't want to be accused of 

641
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,900
well you know Randy's up down 
one day down the other day, you 

642
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:26,600
know, I want to I want to make 
sure that when it comes to 

643
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,100
believe in, God I'm constant, 
I'm consistent. 

644
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,500
I want to see what he has and 
I'm learning and growing. 

645
00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:35,300
I'm only 10 years behind all 
y'all. 

646
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:39,100
All right, I mean I had some 
other things put my faith on for

647
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:44,100
about 10 years and it took 
everything I had, you know, so 

648
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:47,700
now I got to get back to where I
started before all that hit. 

649
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,800
And I've, you know, I've used 
the last two years just to, you 

650
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,900
know, to study to listen, you 
know, read many, many books and 

651
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,100
but I'm learning so much of just
understanding the blessing of 

652
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:04,000
God. 
God, the blessing of God, 

653
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,700
five-minute guy, no matter what 
I tried to do, but let me pray 

654
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:10,000
over you, we're going to pray. 
I want you to believe God. 

655
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:12,500
And when we talk about, you 
know, the challenges, the one 

656
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:15,900
that I gave you, let's open up 
those paper Bibles, okay? 

657
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:21,600
And, and become students of the 
word again, and be able to, you 

658
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,800
know, take those notes and not 
only take them to refer to them.

659
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,700
Okay, I remember when I came 
down here to oversee School of 

660
00:39:28,708 --> 00:39:32,600
Life at the time, and that's 
before we changed it, and I In 

661
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,000
orientation and you know, and 
talk to the students before they

662
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,900
were coming to school. 
And this is you know before 

663
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:41,800
pastor had got the message of 
that and I asked everybody I 

664
00:39:41,808 --> 00:39:44,700
said, hey how did the summer go 
and really I went great. 

665
00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:47,800
How many of you opened your 
notebooks and looked at them one

666
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,400
time? 
Not one hand. 

667
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:55,500
I had somebody come up and said,
I can't tell you how ashamed I 

668
00:39:55,508 --> 00:40:00,300
was of myself. 
Because I had not done that and 

669
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:02,000
she said I'm going to go back 
tonight. 

670
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,000
I'm just going to look at a few 
things. 

671
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,300
I said, just peruse through it. 
You forgotten more than you 

672
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:12,900
wrote down guarantee you that, 
you know, but we want the 

673
00:40:12,908 --> 00:40:14,100
blessing of God. 
Amen. 

674
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,100
Can we get it? 
Yeah, we can have it every bit 

675
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:18,300
of it. 
So, father, we thank you and 

676
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:20,600
praise you. 
Tonight, is we've gone through 

677
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:26,000
your word and we saw that you in
the made the blessing that you 

678
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,900
have for us part of the law of 
the Kingdom. 

679
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:31,400
My father, it's not a matter of 
works. 

680
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:33,600
I know that there is a work that
goes along with it because 

681
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,900
you're going to tell us to do 
something like you did even in 

682
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:37,600
Salvation. 
You told us to confess with our 

683
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,400
mouth and believe in our heart. 
Therefore we make Jesus Lord. 

684
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,100
Alright, but father tonight, 
everyone, that was able to 

685
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:45,900
attend tonight. 
I speak the blessing of the 

686
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:48,300
Lord. 
I want them to have everything 

687
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:50,300
that you have for them. 
I want them to spend time 

688
00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:52,500
seeking you and find out. 
What's the next step for us? 

689
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:54,200
What are we going to do? 
What are we going to add? 

690
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,300
What are we going to take away? 
What is it? 

691
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:58,300
That you need.

your word.

can have. 

697
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,300
We won't have a focus on it. 
Alright, we're going to listen 

698
