Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.
Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
Now enjoy this message. One of the things that I want to
visit with tonight and I'm going to pray before we get started is
you know Lord has been dealing with me on some stuff just
getting us ready for next. Year, you know, having now, one
year behind us in the mall and taking a look at, you know, the
vision taking a, look at the cost of vision, all right?
The provision and everything that you know, I began to seek
the Lord about it. As far as you know, what is it
that you need us to do? What is it that you need from us
to be able to experience exactly what you planned?
When you told pastor this was we were going to have them all and
and we have it. All right?
So We're going to we're going to discuss some of that stuff at
tonight. All right.
So let's have a word of prayer and then we're going, it's going
to be Bible intensive. I'm going to take you through
the Bible tonight. All right, so let's pray father,
we thank you and praise you for the opportunity to come into
your presence. And as we wrap up the year 2022,
we thank you and praise you. That we want to prepare
ourselves to seek your face, like we never had before to
receive the blessings that you have for us to be able to
Enlighten us on everything that you have need that we do in
these last days. Father, we know that you've
given our pain and we just thinking pretty sure.
There's we go over to the word tonight that we would, we would
see one particular thing that we know you want us to have.
And it answers all the questions that we have in every Arena of
provision and finance and and wealth.
And those different things that you've laid out in your word,
for us is summed up in one word and we're going to find that out
tonight and we want to give you thanks for it in Jesus name.
Name. Amen.
Amen I am going all the way back to the Book of Genesis but I'm
going to go to the third chapter.
You got I was going to go to the first chapter.
All right, we're gonna go to the third chapter.
Because most of us know, the plan of creation that God had
and that he said, we're going to make man in our own image.
We are going to bless him. We're going to put him in the
you know we're going to put him in a garden.
He's going to dress it and keep it.
He gave him one commandment. He said don't eat of the tree in
the middle of the garden. The fruit of the tree of the
knowledge of Good and Evil. The day you eat it.
You will surely die. Okay.
Now we didn't say you will surely drop dead.
We know that he didn't die physically, he died spiritually.
All right, but we go to the Third.
Chapter after this event happens.
And they went, they were basically tricked by Satan.
Eve was and we come to the curses, okay, and God is looking
for, Adam, Adam is hit himself. He's made clothes out of fig.
Leaves God comes ask the question.
Okay, where are you Adam? All right, not that he didn't
know where he was. He just wanted to make sure Adam
knew he was in a place. He shouldn't be.
That's that's the point. So The question that that I've,
you know, I've always to ask is that when he he said that and he
began to he began to put the curses in effect, he cursed
Satan and or the serpent at the time, he cursed at childbearing
any. But do you remember what he
cursed with Adam? The soil of the ground.
He said in sorrow, now, you're going to have to work for your
provision. It was all about provision.
Do you remember that? Okay?
And then as so by the the work, the toil and we've called it had
a friend of mine that calls it, he said the Earth curse system
and that people enter in the earth curse system, working toil
and trying to figure out how to make a buck.
What's the next thing moving that we need to make a buck?
We need a buck. We got to have another Buck.
All right, how do we make the next Buck?
You know who's out there? Needing what we Nee, a, we can
do to get the buck and so the Earth care system.
It has that, that just that basically continual cycle that
happened. And, and here's what you need to
know that that particular lifestyle is Curse God, put it
in effect. Now we Joe gets off the arc and
then it says God said to him, I will no longer curse the ground
for man's sake. That is in opposition to what he
said to Adam. He said Adam the Sound is cursed
for your sake. Now because of you, this curse
has come on the earth, the provision and the fact that it's
not going to yield to you. It's Bounty like it once did is
curse and you did it but then he comes to Noah and he lets him
know after everything's cleaned up and we get to start over.
It said I will no longer and this is the eighth chapter of
Genesis. I'll no longer curse the ground
for man's sake and then you Art seeing things happen in men's
lives that. Let you know that we're seeing
some increase now. Immediately not not a good
ending story, Noah built, you know, planted a Vineyard and
said he got drunk, and all kind of crazy things happened after
that, but they begin to see it. So when we come from that, then
let's go to the 12th chapter. Okay?
And and next year, I'm going to encourage you.
This is this an early challenge, okay?
That last several times I've had a chance to minister and you
guys have been there all of you. I'm sure, you know, I picked up
a little campaign that Rick Renner had called Revival of the
Bible, right? And then what did I say Revival
of the paper Bible? All right, there you go.
She's getting my vibes already and it was across town, all
right? And so when we talk about that
and I made some comments, you know, on and Pastor it's funny
because I don't know if he listens to what we get up and
preach or not. I have to think that he does.
All right? I mean I just can't imagine him
just letting us all go. Whatever they bring, you know,
and, and I just can't imagine that.
But, you know, he said some things talking about people
scrolling on their phones while he's trying to preach.
And I mentioned that in my message, I said, listen, don't
you think the devil was smart enough that that time that the
minister is getting ready to say something that you've been
wondering about that. All of a sudden your phone on,
vibrate would go buddy. And there'd be something show up
on there. Somebody doesn't realize you're
in church and I've had that happen in for so many times and
then all of a sudden, you know, you get this hitch to answer And
the pastor still going on, but you're playing on your phone and
pastors calling people out. He knows the kids do it.
You know, I think he'd be shocked and out.
How many adults do it, all right, and I said just stop the
insanity of distraction and bring that paper Bible.
That's your first challenge for 2023 whenever we come together.
Pastors Ministry. Bring the paper Bible.
You need a cookie malli. I need a cookie.
She needs an all right. Bring your paper roll.
Bible. Now here's the thing, they've
spoiled Us Rotten Happening by putting it on screen, okay?
But the thing is is that you know this year I purposed in my
heart that I wasn't going to use my phone to follow along now,
every now and then I'll grab the phone because they say a word
that I want to know what the meaning is of it.
And I got an app that shows me every Greek and Hebrew word in
the Bible. So I use that as far as like,
you know, when he saying that particular word or whatever,
I'll immediate go to it, touch it, right?
Write it down in my notes. Okay.
Now, John George said something when we were here, he said your
pastor takes notes, all you men ought to be taking notes, okay?
And I'm not, I wouldn't know take her.
I I married one. Right?
I married a note-taker. All right and she takes really
good notes but can I be honest with you, I've never one time.
Looked at any her notes. I have not I mean, I'm watching
her right. Um, honey that's good.
Your handwriting still really good.
Yeah, but I've never sat down at any given time and opened that
up. Just see what she took.
So what goods that doing me. All right, so, you know, I came
up with anything I can get you a copy of.
It's called a little note taker tells me the date and whole bit
and I bring one in my Bible just like that.
And I just take, that's all the notes you're going to get is 12
pages, but I'm pretty precise. How I do my notes?
Because one, what do I want? I want all the scriptures.
Well, that's plenty enough. If they give us that many
scriptures, it fills up the one whole sheet, then we have got a
lot of scriptures, right? So yeah, yeah.
So yeah. So I want to encourage you, you
know, let's get back to the paper Bible and eliminate
distraction. Okay, can we do that?
Now, listen, I want to go to the next next part of talking.
Of the the Genesis chapter 12 and I'm going to read it to you.
Genesis chapter 12 is so important because you know,
learned quite a bit in the study this year of looking at it.
But this is, this is God coming to Abram at the time.
And it says, now, listen to what he says, and I'm going to point
out a few things that we need to remember and going into next
year, he said now the Lord said to Abram get thee out of thy
country and from thy Kindred, and from thy, father's house
with a bless you and I will Make your name great and you shall be
a blessing and I will bless them that bless you curse them that
curse you and in all the family and and in the all the families
of the Earth shall be blessed. Now, I think it's interesting
because the next verse says, Abram departed as as the Lord
had spoken to him. Immediately.
I mean, you know, as soon as he heard the Lord speak he took
off. But notice what he said in here.
He said, listen, I am going to bless you.
I want you to jot this word down in the Hebrew.
It is the word. Barack be a Rak Brock.
It basically is talking about the blessings and, and to a
point that you are well respected.
You know, you people will be able to notice that.
There's something about you. He said I'm going to bless you,
but then he said, I'm going to make You a blessing?
It's interesting. The words are different.
In the word, he's going to bless.
I Will Bless. You is a verb and the word.
You will be a blessing is a noun.
So, in order to get to the noun blessing, You've got to have the
action of being blessed. Okay, and we're going to see how
it comes every time. All right, so he's in here and
he says in there I'll make the great nation.
All Families, All Families, not just Jewish families, not just
Hebrew families. All right, all families of the
earth will be blessed because of you.
Now think about it. He told him I'm going to make
you a great nation. That was part of the blessing.
And if you think about it, when he's me, when he, when he told
him, I want to make you a blessing.
And again, think of how hard that was 21 receive that word.
Because how are you going to become a great nation?
If you can't even have kids, All right.
So there's going to be some Faith involved.
And what have we determined? Faith is Faith and just simply
believing their whatever God says is true.
And begin to act as if it's true.
Hopefully, next year. Pastoral let me do.
I been wanting to do a lesson on face greatest enemies, okay?
And one of the greatest enemies to Faith is failure to act like
the word is true. Most people act like, okay,
remember faith is not you know being in denial about the facts.
They simply calls things that be not as though they were okay, so
when we have Abram, we have him. He's going to be blessed.
Take a look. I've got just a couple of
scriptures in their, the 27th. Chapter of Genesis, we have the
account and this is hilarious. Really?
Because Isaac. Okay, we've got, you know, we
got Isaac Isaac's getting ready? He says he's dimming his side.
He can't see very good. He says this, I don't know when
I'm gonna die. But he says, if you will go and
he calls, Esau, he said if you'll go prepare venison for me
and everything. If you come back I will bless
you. I will give you the blessing.
What everybody knew what that was.
Everybody knew that he that is going to pronounce the blessing
on me. And so he leaves remember and it
says Rebecca heard it and told Jacob to go get, you know, go so
that we could prepare all of this, all right?
And then if you remember, he came, he came and he gave the
blessing to Jacob brother comes in later and and is all upset
because he ain't going to get the blessing.
Think about it. All the blessing was wrapped up
in what dad was going to speak over them.
That is what we need to know about the blessing of God.
It comes by him speaking over us.
One of my favorite stories in the Bible.
As far as accounts. Really not just a story.
Is Joseph. And next year, the first few
months I'm going to talk about some things that we can learn
from Joseph and his whole life that will encourage us and
increase us in our ability to handle more and more and more
provision. But tonight I want to look at
one little thing that was said about Joseph in the 39 chapter.
We find out is that Joseph was brought down from Egypt and
potiphar and officer of pharaoh like a captain of the guard in
Egyptian. Bought him from the hands of the
ishmaelites which had brought him down from where his father
was. Now I think it's interesting
because you know it says is he a captain of the Guard?
You know, you look that up and basically that word is defined
the Executioner. But what is interesting?
It also goes back to somebody that can handle.
Now I thought that was crazy but then I got to thinking about it.
Remember the two guys that got put into?
And it said the prison and and it and it has the appearance,
this was poppers prison. if you'll, if you reduce his prison
and he had two guys from the kitchen, In the prison.
So he might have been the chef. You know, and of course you
know, you're going to cleave some meat.
Then you'd probably say, you know what?
I got somebody, I need you to take care of.
And and they probably know how to execute pretty well, but I
thought that was an interesting because we've always had a
picture painted of a guy that was a soldier, but basically go
look that up is that, you know, the captain of the host is
there. He says, but let notice this, he
said and the Lord was with Joseph verse 2 and he was a
prosperous man and he was in the house of his master, the
Egyptian and his master saw that the Lord was with him and that
the Lord made. All that he did to prosper in
his hand and Joseph found Grace in his sight, and he served him
and he made him overseer over his house and all that.
He had put into his hand and then he goes on and he said, and
he came to pass that had made him overseer and over him.
And the Lord blessed the Egyptian house, that is the same
Greek Hebrew word of the word blessed.
When he said Abraham, I'm going to make you a blessing, the same
word but notice who got just, Potiphar got blessed because
that's exactly what it said. You said, the Lord blessed the
Egyptians house for Joseph's sake and blessed the blessing of
the Lord, excuse me. What's going on?
It was upon all that he had in the house and in the field so
all the provision that he had. All right, he attributed and
even noticed it was because of the blessing that was on his his
life. Now I think it's interesting
because, you know, we talked about prosperity and I've taught
on him for years. That the word Prosper here
doesn't mean the accumulation of things because he had no things.
His brothers didn't tell him, you know, hang on a second and
we're going to pack you some bags.
Okay? You're going to need something
because you're going on a trip. The only thing he had was the
clothes on his back and some chains.
And they delivered him down there as a slave.
So when he gets into this guy's house, it said that the Lord was
with him and that what the Lord made all that he did the Lord
made all that. He did prosper in his hand and
he said he found Grace in his sight but it said the Lord
blessed his house. And so we see again, what it is
say All Families will be blessed because of you.
And the Simplicity of all that we understand about Abram going
to Abraham, alright is the fact he heard God, tell him
something, he believed it and they're acted on it.
And the blessing came. All right, the activity came, I
don't see Abram as far as, you know, somebody.
I mean, think about it. You know, he gets into a
situation with his nephew lot, what was it about?
You know, I don't like your hair color.
I don't like the clothes. You wear, I don't like it was
all about their provision, their flocks and their herds man could
not get along with each other. So they had to make a split.
They had so much substance. So, God is basically, In him and
continual, bless him, bless him. Now, it's getting down to the
kids, even Jacob. I mean, when it came time the
Lord was blessing him and told him, I'm going to bless you.
I'm going to take care of you until I bring you back to your
father's house in peace. And so we see we see them
blessing but here's a scripture that I just been meditating, I
encourage you to do the same. Its proverbs 10 verse 22.
And isn't what it says. The blessing of the Lord maketh
rich and adds no sorrow with it. The word sorrow is from the same
root as the word sorrow in Genesis, when the Lord put a
curse or God put a curse on the land and told Adam listen
Because Of You, the ground is cursed and now through sorrow,
you will cultivate and try to reap a harvest the rest of your
life. The word sorrow.
There is the word worrisome. so when we, when we take a look and
we get into worry, we're entering back into a curse.
That God never intended as have. But he said the blessing of the
Lord maketh rich and adds no sorrow.
No, worry. And again toil or or hard labor
to it. How do we know that?
Because we look at Jesus teachings, what'd he say, don't
worry about what you're going to eat drink or where your father
knows, it knows you have Nina the Lord.
Let's talk a little bit about the blessing of the Lord,
because believe it or not, it is already been spoken over us.
Galatians chapter 3. Paul writing to the church at
galatia. And I think this is interesting
the requirements of getting the blessing.
Activated in our live very, very, very simple.
In Galatians chapter 3 in verse 13.
Listen to this Christ has redeemed us from the curse of
the law being made a curse for us for it is written.
Cursed, is everyone that hangs on a tree that The Blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ
that we might receive the promise of the spirit through
faith. two things he's talking about there one, The Blessing of
Abraham, And two, he's talking the promise of the spirit but
notice is it's both through faith.
And what again is faith, faith is ability to hear God and
believe it and begin to conduct your life.
According to what God has said So when he says in there, that
he ate, Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the law.
He said that the blessing of Abraham, okay.
We all know, but we're going to look at tonight, The Blessing of
Abraham. Now it's interesting because I
had to ask a question, you put the blessing of Abraham in the
law. It just wasn't a document out
here floating around somewhere and hope you get a copy of it.
It was actually put in the law in Deuteronomy 28.
All right now, all I'm going to focus on is the first 15 verses
but I want to take a look at it. But the thing that I want to
point out is the very, very, very first part of the chapter,
okay? Because this is how we can
invoke and get the blessing of God to operate in our lives and
it is found in verse 1 and it It shall come to pass if you will
hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord, your God to observe
to do all of this Commandments, which I command you this day,
that the Lord thy God will set the high above all the nations
of the earth. And all of these blessings will
come on you and overtake you, if you will hearken unto the voice
of the Lord, your God, he listened and obeyed.
Now, it's interesting in the Hebrew.
The word harken. Is the same word for obey.
In the Hebrew. So in other words, when God
tells us something he doesn't tell us with an option.
Even though being free moral agents, we can we can take an
option. But he said, if you will hearken
diligently to the voice of the Lord, your God, and he puts that
word, if in there, you know, if then you shall hearken, all
right? If is a conditional word, you
may or may not choose to do it, but if you choose to do it, And
you Harkin and you obey of all the words that are coming out of
his mouth and instruction and in in, you know, Commandments that
he has for us. Then he tells us in verse 2.
He said, and, and all these blessings will come on you and
overtake you. If you hearken to the voice of
the Lord, your God and he begins to talk and he said blessed,
you'll be in the city bless you'll be in the field.
Blessed, shall be the fruit of your body, the fruit of your
ground, the fruit of your cattle and the increase of that.
And the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed, shall your basket?
Be your basket in your store, blessed?
Shall you be when you come in and blessed?
Shall you be when you go out, the Lord will cause your enemies
that rise up against you to be smitten before your face, and
you shall come out against. They will come out against you
one way, but flee, before you 7 and the Lord shall command the
blessing. Here's what we need to
understand. It's not a blessing, it's the
blessing. The blessing of the Lord, not a
blessing of the Lord. It's the blessing of the Lord.
Maketh Rich. All right.
He said the Lord shall command his blessing upon you and your
Storehouse is in all that you set your hand to do.
And He will bless you in the land which the Lord has given
you. He will establish you as a holy
people to himself as he is sworn in to the if That's Rapture
practice. What in the world, Thou shalt
keep the Commandments of the Lord thy God and walk in his way
and all the people of the Earth shall see that you are called by
the name of the Lord, and that you should, and they shall be
afraid of you. And the Lord will make you
plenteous in Goods in the fruit of your body and the fruit of
your cattle, the fruit of your ground, the land, which the
Lord, swear unto the fathers to give you.
He said, and the Lord shall open to you, his good treasure having
to give rain in the land in his season.
To bless all the work of your hand.
You will lend a many nations. You shall narc.
If you, that you hearken to the Commandments of the Lord thy
God, which I command you this day and he said, and you shall
not go aside from it, any of The Words, which I command thee this
day, to the right hand, or the left to go after gods and serve
them. And that is the end of the
blessing, verse 15, through 68. Is a curses.
Okay. So how do you get the cursors
exactly in opposition to what he just told you?
I mean I'm not the brightest guy in the world but I have figured
out that hanging with God and doing what God says gets me on
his good side. Right.
But think about that, he gives all these and and the majority
of them in there are provision. Protection.
I mean, you know, if you got an enemy coming against you, you
know, one way and he says, they'll be smitten before your
face. I'm going to meditate on that a
little bit, especially the day in which we live.
I mean, you know, I he said they'll flee before you said,
but the key is, is following his words because this is what we
really, really, really want to realize is that Blessings come
out of the mouth. That's how Isaac was going to
bless Esau, and he ended up blessing.
How do you do it? He began to speak the words of
blessing and let him know this is what you can have.
That's why Paul wrote. He's had all the promises of God
are. Yes and amen.
So the thing we got to ask the question is, are we pursuing or
learning or educating? When he said, seek first, the
kingdom of God and his righteousness, the word seek in
there is a Greek words that a 0 and it just simply means to make
an inquiry. It's not God playing hide and
seek. Okay I hope you guys find me.
I imagine he'd be a pretty good Hider okay you know but he said
that's not it. The words until means to inquire
to form an investigation. So he says seek first the The
kingdom. In other words, investigate the
kingdom, inquire about the kingdom, ask questions about the
kingdom, And God's righteousness.
I like the I like the Amplified because it said God's way of
being and doing right. So every situation that we find
ourselves in, if we begin to speak the blessing of God over
us and and, you know, I've been meditating some things about,
you know, bills that are due and different things like that.
And you know the the guys at the temple, ask Peter, does your
master pay tribute or not? And you remember he went and he
goes, yes, he pays tribute and he went into where Jesus and the
other guys were and it said Jesus prevented him or stopped
him. And made a comment to him, he's
a Peter. And I'm thinking how Off the
Wall, he said, Peter, he said when the Kings or the
magistrates of the world decided to pay taxes.
He said, do they go after their family or do?
They go after strength strangers.
And he goes, well, they go after strangers and he said, so then
he said, basically the family is exempt.
And he said so but that we don't offend them.
Go down to the Sea cast in a hook.
The first fish that comes out, open his mouth, they'll be a
gold coin in there and Jesus said, go and pay the taxes for
me and thee. And so on.
I got to thinking about that. I said, you know, Lord, I said
when it comes to 0 and taxes, I said you, you know, you told
Peter that the children of the kingdom are exempt.
I said, how can I get that activated?
But you know what? It wasn't a, it wasn't the
exempt of paying no taxes. It was finding the money when
the taxes will do. And so I began to seek the Lord
because I got some stuff coming up here pretty soon and I
decided to do something a little different, okay?
And and it's a it's some equipment that I need to get to
the, the short company to the next level, and I already
committed for it, some things that I had in my mind planned
that we were going to use to pay for.
It has not come into fruition yet.
So I immediately thought. Okay lord, they're going to make
a demand And I told him I'm going to pay him and I need you
to tell me where it's at. So I'm going to give you the
rest of the story because it's got to happen here pretty soon.
And I'm going to, I am going to have it.
I've already sold I taught you all year.
So a seed name that seat. Did it done it.
I did it months ago. All right.
And you know, so I the question is, is little.
Here's the problem though, is that we don't sit in the
presence of the Lord long enough to find out the answer.
You know, we're always trying to come up with the toil beaten
banging around trying to figure out how to make money when he
probably has a pretty good idea or something that we can do that
would invoke something to happen to him about the particular
needs that we have. Whether it's taxes, whether
whatever it is and say, show me where it's at.
I mean, you know, anybody can catch a multitude of fishes.
Jesus tells you where to go. I mean, they fished all night
and took nothing in Luke 5. And then because they were
focused on the ministry of helping Jesus, get the message
out, put him out in the little boat.
He said go, he said, go get your nets that they were clean.
And when he showed up, right, he said go get your nets and go
into the deep and cast. All right?
And they, he said nevertheless Lord at your word will do it the
best day in the fishing business he'd ever had. and he had some
Partners involved with him and you know and if you had more
than one set of Partners, they probably would all come back
with boats full of fish but Jesus has that ability that once
we start focusing on the words of Our Lord, See.
Jesus didn't just cause those fish to jump out of the water
and up on the shore. He told them, he said, go out
and here they are just gather them in.
See. Sometimes, you know, we need to
take a look at our gathering devices.
What is your net look like, is it, is it streamline?
I mean, have you got all the parts in it in operation?
Are you taking care of things? Like you're counting?
Are you taking care of things? Like, you know, you know your
your delivery dates You know what?
How are you administrating? And that's going to be one of
the subjects that we talk about next year is Joseph's ability to
administrate and how he got the job because he'd already been
tested prior to seeing pharaoh and the question is, you know,
the Lord usually I have found this to be true in even in my
own life. The Lord only gives me what I
can handle. so, if I want to handle more, I've got to prepare
myself. And one of the things that took
me from, you know, barely barely getting it.
All right, back in Oklahoma was figuring out.
I don't know what I'm doing about five about accounting, I
don't know the story, I don't know what a p&l is.
I don't know what a balance sheets for, I don't know these
things. And once I got that education,
then all of a sudden things started making sense but I had
to, I had to increase myself. In order to, and I taught a
series of when I first came down here, Matt, you may have been
there for a weekend, I pastor had me, come down, and it was
basically preparing yourself, you know, to handle more money.
Well, the question is, first of all, you got to realize you
truly are blessed according to the law.
I'm thinking to myself, you put that in the law that if we would
obey your words and pay attention to what you're telling
us. Then all these things can come
on us and overtake us. You made that a law like
gravity. I mean, you know, when you throw
something up, it's coming down. I mean, unless there's a miracle
happening. All right, or you have an
airplane right and but we know some of them have come down.
They just you know, it wasn't the a gravity is absent, they're
just another law that supersedes, gravity called lift
and all things being equal, the thrust, the wing, the whole bit,
you're going to fly. I mean some cool stuff, man.
I'm following Josh from India to Helsinki and from Helsinki to
New York, New York down here, you know, to Orlando.
Mean, I could see it. I could the plant is just showed
you every few minutes where the plane was pretty cool.
But, you know that that way. Yeah.
And did you know that the the law of lift has always been in
existence? It just man had to get to the
place that God could. Give it to him.
So that's what our goal is next. Year is we got to get to the
place that God can give it to us.
It makes sense because we are blessed.
According to the law said, The Blessing of Abraham will come on
you. Why?
Because of Jesus work. But here's the thing, are we
listening? And I said it a second.
Go, sometimes we don't sit down long enough and inquire and hear
what the next step is. I mean, one word from God, I've
heard it all my life. One word from God can change
your life. And it's going to usually be for
the better if you're doing, okay?
Sometimes there's a word that he needs to get to you to
straighten out your squirrely, messed up mind.
But if we're under that, then you know what, we need to start
speaking the blessing of God over our own lives.
And reminding we know what you said.
You said that. You'd bless all the work of my
hands. You said, because he likes that.
I understand, he said, come and let us reason together.
Let's talk about what I said. He loves hearing it.
I mean, I love it when I go with some buddies and I had to happen
to me Sunday morning, I'm sitting there and they said my
magic word nobody knows his word but me and it's the word Rabbit
Trail and it seems like every time I hear the word Rabbit
Trail, I am off and and and one question led to another
question, I barely got the lesson done and, you know, and
asking but the woman started quoting me.
Well, let me remind you what you said.
And she did it to me twice, two different, two different, you
know, diffe. Well you once said and I had to
say in myself I said that it's something that I've said to
everybody forever and ever but I was thrilled that she remembered
it. I mean as it means you're paying
attention, that's one of the things.
God gets out of bus if we can repeat to him.
What the blessings are, we can repeat to him.
What it is that he's done for us instead of talking about what
our problems are everyday. And we say, you know what, I got
this bill coming up or I got this other opportunity and the
finances just aren't there, you know, Lord, I'm going to get
with you until you tell me what the next step is.
Because he owns it all my dad, your dad, he owns everything.
And if we start talking like, he talks, guess what I think, we
will start getting what he's got.
Does that make sense? I mean, I don't want to be
profound or nothing but I mean to me amazing thing is is that
you know, we've got to quit looking at where we are and get
back into the word and believe it.
It said, you know, Abraham believed God and it was counted
unto him as righteousness. What again, the righteous and it
was counted unto him of being able to do what God does.
Right standing. Not only that but how to do
things, right? That's what I want to do.
I want to do things, right? I don't want to be accused of
well you know Randy's up down one day down the other day, you
know, I want to I want to make sure that when it comes to
believe in, God I'm constant, I'm consistent.
I want to see what he has and I'm learning and growing.
I'm only 10 years behind all y'all.
All right, I mean I had some other things put my faith on for
about 10 years and it took everything I had, you know, so
now I got to get back to where I started before all that hit.
And I've, you know, I've used the last two years just to, you
know, to study to listen, you know, read many, many books and
but I'm learning so much of just understanding the blessing of
God. God, the blessing of God,
five-minute guy, no matter what I tried to do, but let me pray
over you, we're going to pray. I want you to believe God.
And when we talk about, you know, the challenges, the one
that I gave you, let's open up those paper Bibles, okay?
And, and become students of the word again, and be able to, you
know, take those notes and not only take them to refer to them.
Okay, I remember when I came down here to oversee School of
Life at the time, and that's before we changed it, and I In
orientation and you know, and talk to the students before they
were coming to school. And this is you know before
pastor had got the message of that and I asked everybody I
said, hey how did the summer go and really I went great.
How many of you opened your notebooks and looked at them one
time? Not one hand.
I had somebody come up and said, I can't tell you how ashamed I
was of myself. Because I had not done that and
she said I'm going to go back tonight.
I'm just going to look at a few things.
I said, just peruse through it. You forgotten more than you
wrote down guarantee you that, you know, but we want the
blessing of God. Amen.
Can we get it? Yeah, we can have it every bit
of it. So, father, we thank you and
praise you. Tonight, is we've gone through
your word and we saw that you in the made the blessing that you
have for us part of the law of the Kingdom.
My father, it's not a matter of works.
I know that there is a work that goes along with it because
you're going to tell us to do something like you did even in
Salvation. You told us to confess with our
mouth and believe in our heart. Therefore we make Jesus Lord.
Alright, but father tonight, everyone, that was able to
attend tonight. I speak the blessing of the
Lord. I want them to have everything
that you have for them. I want them to spend time
seeking you and find out. What's the next step for us?
What are we going to do? What are we going to add?
What are we going to take away? What is it?
That you need. Father from us to.
Koreans all that you have from your word.
We're going to listen. We're going to obey and it's
going to be very simple for us. In this next year to see your
hand, moving our behalf and we will experience everything that
you said in your word that we can have.
We won't have a focus on it. Alright, we're going to listen
to you on what we're supposed to do when it comes.
And we want to thank you and praise you.
That this is group is the given us a bunch of people that we've
ever been involved with. We thank you and praise you for
all that they've been able to put into the kingdom, but I know
you have more for us. To do and we want to be
recipients of that and we want to be givers of that.
So we want to cash flow, Our Lives into your ministry and we
thank you and we praise you for it in Jesus name.
