00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,560
Thanks for checking out the 
Anchor Faith Message podcast 

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,920
from St. 
Augustine, FL. 

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,560
Now enjoy this message. 
First Timothy chapter 4 verse 

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,880
one says this. 
Now the Spirit explicitly says 

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,560
that in latter times some will 
depart from the faith, giving 

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,520
heed to deceiving spirits and 
doctrines of demons. 

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,480
You know, we started out this 
year utilizing this passage of 

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,400
Scripture to to let us know that
we have the reigning spirit. 

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,560
And in the last of the last 
days, the Spirit is telling us 

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,000
there's going to be great 
conflict. 

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,920
But in that the Spirit of God 
expressly says, meaning this is 

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,040
going to happen. 
You cannot stop it. 

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,600
There are those who will fall 
away from the faith, meaning 

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,120
they are sitting in church just 
like you are right now. 

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,120
They are professing that they 
know Jesus Christ as their Lord,

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,560
as you are. 
Yet they'll fall away because 

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,640
they have not trained their ears
to hear properly or they have 

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,920
not crucified things within 
their soul realm that is going 

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,480
to hinder them. 
They've not renewed their minds 

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,800
so that they function as they 
are born of God. 

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,280
Once they made Jesus the Lord of
their life. 

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,440
So there are deceiving spirits. 
One translation says seducing 

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,800
spirits and doctrines of demons.
OK, so the spirits are there to 

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:36,560
seduce you, and seduction is 
there in order to cause you to 

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,080
go after something that seems 
really good. 

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,280
No one would ever be seduced if 
it was showing you you're going 

27
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,360
to die. 
Amen. 

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,880
In fact, Proverbs talks about 
the young guy that's walking and

29
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,720
the woman's out and she begins 
to seduce him and he says he has

30
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,720
no idea that he's going into the
place of death. 

31
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Right. 
My husband's gone, she says. 

32
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,440
He's taking a lot of money with 
him. 

33
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,440
I have prepared my bed so that 
you and I can have a love feast 

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,520
all night long. 
And all the while that young boy

35
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,840
is going in there thinking he's 
having the time of his life, but

36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,720
he's his whole life is being 
brought down to hell. 

37
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,320
So seduction is very attractive.
Very attractive. 

38
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
So it came to my attention. 
My wife and I, when we were away

39
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,600
with a couple of our grandkids 
this past week, reminded me of a

40
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,640
message that I've never 
ministered at Anchor Bay Church.

41
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Never. 
Now, Pastor Vanessa would know 

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000
this particular one. 
OK? 

43
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760
She would know it because she 
was single at the time when I 

44
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,800
was at a church in Starke, FL 
and we had a revival in 1997 and

45
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,360
in that revival during the 
summer it was 12 week long 

46
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,280
revival. 
In fact, my wife had been 

47
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,960
praying in the Spirit, spending 
quite a bit of time in prayer 

48
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,200
and by unction of the Spirit she
got a word from the Lord that 

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,800
our church was going to move 
into. 

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,840
When I say our church, I was not
the pastor, senior pastor of the

51
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,680
church. 
I youth pastored for this 

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,320
particular church. 
I work full time in the Florida 

53
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,800
Army National Guard and so it 
was volunteer that I served as 

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,400
the youth pastor and man, we had
an awesome thing going. 

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,320
With that being said, she got my
own chin of the Spirit. 

56
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,520
We would go into a revival 
during the summer and that I 

57
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,080
would preach that revival and 
that he would confirm that to 

58
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,560
the pastor in three days. 
Well, she went over to the 

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,480
pastor's house, told the 
pastor's wife and you know, 

60
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,360
apparently it bore witness with 
her. 

61
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,320
So much so that I was actually 
working with Pastor Vanessa's 

62
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,840
father cutting some lawns that 
day and and they come flying up 

63
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,080
to the house. 
We were cutting grass and begin 

64
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,320
to tell us, well, I'll be honest
with you, it didn't bear witness

65
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,560
to me. 
It was a shock. 

66
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440
I was like, what? 
You know? 

67
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Well, three days later, sure 
enough, Pastor Wade came and 

68
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,200
said we're going to do revival 
and you'll minister, I'll do 

69
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Sundays. 
We were going to take off on 

70
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,040
Saturday. 
We did Monday through Friday. 

71
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:26,960
We did six days of church and we
did those five nights for seven 

72
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,080
straight weeks and then the last
five weeks. 

73
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,680
So I think we did, we did like a
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. 

74
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,800
So we had Sunday, Wednesday, 
Thursday, Friday, and it 

75
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,800
basically finished out the 
summer, man. 

76
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,600
We saw miracles, people born 
again, people filled with the 

77
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,640
Holy Ghost. 
And I was so young in the faith,

78
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,760
OK, I had not been to Rhema. 
I had just recently, two years 

79
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,200
prior to that baptizing the Holy
Ghost. 

80
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,280
I've been raised in the Baptist 
Church all my life and I was 

81
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:01,280
hungry for more. 
And so in my searching for 

82
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,960
hunger, God had this Assembly of
God minister come by knock on 

83
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,760
our doors, who had great 
recently graduated from Rhema 

84
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,040
himself. 
And next thing you know, we're 

85
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,920
attending his church. 
I got filled with the Holy 

86
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,360
Ghost. 
He asked me to work with his 

87
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,640
children's because he knew I was
called to ministry. 

88
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,160
I said I would rather do youth 
if that's OK. 

89
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,960
He said fine. 
We had one and before we left 

90
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,520
the church ran 150 people total,
of which 75 of them were youth. 

91
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,920
It was awesome. 
We had an off campus ministry. 

92
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,760
We had two prison systems, 
juvenile prison systems coming 

93
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,520
to us and man those people get 
born again all the time. 

94
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,560
It was awesome, but I just 
didn't know the word. 

95
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,600
Like I know the word today, but 
knowing the word still doesn't 

96
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,840
change the position I was in 
because I'm still in that 

97
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,800
position today. 
And man, I would work all day 

98
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,360
long because I worked Monday 
through Friday, except every 

99
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,800
other Monday, the National 
Guard, we were off and so we 

100
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,840
worked these 9-10 hour days, 
something like that, I can't 

101
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:08,000
remember, but every other Monday
I was off and so I had to go to 

102
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,360
work. 
But I'm preaching that night, 

103
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,360
and so my brakes would be in 
Scripture. 

104
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,160
My lunchtime would be in 
Scripture because I'm like, what

105
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,880
in the world are we saying 
tonight? 

106
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,360
And I remember many times, 
especially in the last few 

107
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,720
weeks, that I would show up and 
Pastor Marcy can testify and I 

108
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,200
would go into a little room 
right beside the the platform 

109
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,560
and praise and worship would be 
going on. 

110
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,160
And I have nothing. 
And I'm like, Lord, you better 

111
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,360
give me something or I'm not 
going out there. 

112
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,760
I mean, it, it was the fear of 
the Lord. 

113
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,120
I did not want to preach 
something that that wasn't from 

114
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,200
the throne room. 
Again, I mean, this was revival.

115
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,680
And so out of that came this 
message. 

116
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,320
And I don't know why I've never 
ministered it here, but it seems

117
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,720
right in the Holy Ghost for me 
to minister here today. 

118
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,000
Amen. 
So you understand, it's not an 

119
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,880
old message, it's a message now.
I can guarantee you it has 

120
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:19,160
nothing like I preached it in 
Stark except for the scriptures.

121
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,000
Because how I preached back then
and how I preached today and the

122
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040
knowledge and revelation I have 
today opens the door for more 

123
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,080
things. 
But the central truth never 

124
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,120
changed. 
Out of all these years, that 

125
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,280
central truth is still there. 
And I title the message the 

126
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Choke conspiracy. 
So turn over to Mark chapter 13 

127
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,360
and Mark chapter 13 starting in 
verse three. 

128
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,280
You know it well, it says this. 
It says, And he spoke many 

129
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,000
things to them in parables, 
saying, Behold, the sower went 

130
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,880
out to sow, and as he sowed, 
some seeds fell beside the road,

131
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960
and the birds came and ate them 
up. 

132
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,480
Others fell on rocky places 
where they did not have much 

133
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,120
soil. 
And immediately they sprang up 

134
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,600
because they had no because they
immediately they sprang up, 

135
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,600
because they had no depth of 
soul. 

136
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,960
But when the sun had risen they 
were scorched. 

137
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Because they had no root. 
They withered away. 

138
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Others fell among the thorns, 
and the thorns came up and 

139
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,480
choked them out. 
Say choked them out, and others 

140
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,480
fell on good soil and yielded a 
crop, some a hundredfold, some 

141
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:35,320
60, some 30. 
He who has ears, let him hear. 

142
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,880
Now He explains this parable 
starting in the 18th verse of 

143
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,120
the same chapter, Matthew 1318. 
It says Now hear them. 

144
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,920
The parable of the sower. 
When anyone hears the word of 

145
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,880
the Kingdom, say the word of the
Kingdom. 

146
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,800
So other Tran other passages 
both over in the Mark 4 count 

147
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,640
and the Luke 8 account, you 
know, say the silver seats, the 

148
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,120
seed is the word. 
Well, we know that word is 

149
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,440
specifically is the word of the 
Kingdom because when Jesus 

150
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,520
speaks, it's the word of the 
king and where the word of the 

151
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,880
king is there is there's power. 
So he says that the parable that

152
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,480
here if anyone hears the word of
the Kingdom and does not 

153
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,720
understand it, the evil one 
comes and snatches away what has

154
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:30,200
been sown where not in his head 
in his heart. 

155
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,480
You know what that tells us? 
That tells us that the minute 

156
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,200
the revelation of the Kingdom 
comes to you, if you do not 

157
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:47,400
desire to know, then the devil 
will come and put out that 

158
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,480
revelation 'cause he sure wants 
to keep you in religion. 

159
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,560
The minute the revelation of the
Kingdom comes on in you, if you 

160
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,400
do not pursue to understand, 
then you're giving the devil 

161
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:09,160
access to keep you blinded in 
demonic doctrine or a form of 

162
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,080
religion. 
So we're not talking about a 

163
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,280
casual conversation that I'm 
someone's preaching on the 

164
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,440
Kingdom and you don't get the 
revelation of it. 

165
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,560
No, this person has revelation 
because the devil steals it away

166
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:29,920
from their heart, not from their
head. 

167
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,160
OK, then it goes on and says 
this. 

168
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,360
This is the one whom the seed 
was sown by the roadside, the 

169
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,760
one whom seed was sown on the 
rocky places. 

170
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,960
This is the man who hears the 
word and immediately receives it

171
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640
with joy. 
Yet he has no firm root in 

172
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,800
himself, but is only temporary. 
And when affliction or 

173
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,680
persecution arises because of 
the word, immediately he falls 

174
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,560
away. 
There are many that we see in 

175
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:02,480
the in the churches today that 
come to a church. 

176
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,240
They receive Jesus as their 
Lord. 

177
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,720
They we receive salvation with 
joy, but because they are not 

178
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,080
coming to be discipled, they're 
only coming to be converted. 

179
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,080
They just want to know they're 
going to go to heaven when they 

180
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,440
die. 
They have no real interest in 

181
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Jesus as Lord. 
They have great interest in 

182
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,160
Jesus as Savior. 
They do not want to go to hell 

183
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,520
for their own doing. 
They are condemned, they are 

184
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,600
guilty, they have shame because 
of it. 

185
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120
And when they hear of the good 
news that Jesus has forgiven 

186
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,720
them of all their own doing, 
they jump at the occasion to be 

187
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,880
pardoned, to be forgiven, but 
with no aspirations to follow 

188
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,560
Him all the days of their life. 
And it proves out because when 

189
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,440
trials come and they have no 
commitment, they come to an 

190
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:02,720
altar in tears and and they come
to the altar knowing full well 

191
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,520
they need Jesus to save their 
lives. 

192
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,640
But they never come back to the 
church again. 

193
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:14,000
They pop in sporadically. 
They may show up at an Easter 

194
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,880
service or at a Christmas 
cantata, some type of thing. 

195
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,480
They may periodically show up 
because Mama manipulated them to

196
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:31,880
come to church on Mother's Day. 
Yet when all the issues of life 

197
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,120
come, there's no root in them 
and they fall away. 

198
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,960
They live life like they're not 
even born again. 

199
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:49,000
Verse 22 goes on then to say 
because they are verse 21, they 

200
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,920
had no firm root, only 
temporary. 

201
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,040
When affliction of persecution 
arises because of the word, 

202
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:59,600
immediately he falls away and 
there's many that do not handle 

203
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,400
the persecution that comes 
because you are a child of God. 

204
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,800
You much rather blend into 
society, then stand out and 

205
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,920
shine. 
Verse 22, the one of whom the 

206
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,600
seed was sown among the thorns. 
This is the man who hears the 

207
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,720
word and the worry of the world 
and the deceitfulness of wealth.

208
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,720
Choke the word and it becomes 
unfruitful. 

209
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,680
We'll come back to that. 
And the one whom seed was sown 

210
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,520
on the good soul. 
This is the man who hears the 

211
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,760
word, understands it, and indeed
bears fruit and brings forth 

212
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,560
some a hundredfold, some 60 and 
some 30. 

213
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,760
So verse 22 says those at the 
sea fell among the thorns. 

214
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,280
This is the man who hears the 
word. 

215
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,320
He hears the word and the worry 
of the world and the 

216
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,960
deceitfulness of wealth. 
Choke the word and it becomes 

217
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,440
unfruitful. 
Now it's important for us to go 

218
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,480
to the other two gospels that 
have this same parable that 

219
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,600
Jesus speaks. 
They're both ones in Mark and 

220
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,920
the other ones in Luke. 
Let's look at the Mark chapter 4

221
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,320
account. 
It starts in verse 18 concerning

222
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,080
the one sown among the thorns. 
It says this. 

223
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,840
The others are the ones of whom 
seed was sown among the thorns. 

224
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,760
These are the ones who have 
heard the word. 

225
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,400
Have you heard the word? 
Come on, have you heard the 

226
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,040
word? 
Now notice there's a progression

227
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,080
here. 
There is the progression of seed

228
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:25,600
falling to the wayside and it 
never gets in any ground at all.

229
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,160
Birds pull it out it had. 
It never changes, never 

230
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,280
converts. 
It stays in seed form is what 

231
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:38,400
I'm saying. 
The second one is one that comes

232
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,640
among the rocks and conversion 
takes place, meaning it's no 

233
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:49,840
longer a seed but a plant. 
Plant is a conversion, OK, but 

234
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,840
again, the seed is to convert 
itself. 

235
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,320
In essence, it dies and it 
releases what's within it, and 

236
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,600
what's within it is a plant. 
But we do not have plants for 

237
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,280
plants sake where they're there 
to bear fruit. 

238
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,880
Because again, the parable is 
about a farmer, and a farmer is 

239
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,480
not just planting plants, he's 
looking for fruit. 

240
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,440
So conversion takes place, it 
becomes a plant. 

241
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,600
It's no longer in seed form. 
It has all capacity to produce 

242
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,400
fruit. 
But because it does not have a 

243
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:32,640
good root system, see, people 
like to look at the plant, but a

244
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,680
plant doesn't stay thriving if 
the roots are dying. 

245
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,680
So you can come looking 
polished, but it doesn't take 

246
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,680
long to determine if you're 
dying because we can hear it in 

247
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,920
your mouth. 
We can see it in your walk, in 

248
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,200
your talk. 
We can see it in the attendance.

249
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,840
We can see it in your actions of
whether your root system is 

250
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,680
pulling on the water of the word
so that you can grow by it. 

251
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,200
My wife, before we went on this 
camping trip with our Grant, 

252
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Grant couple of our 
grandchildren, there's a 

253
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,280
particular hibiscus that we had 
planted and she had put some 

254
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,160
additional fertilizer on it. 
Well, I thought I had turned the

255
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,960
sprinklers on. 
I had not. 

256
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,680
And because I did not, that 
plant did not make it because it

257
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,160
did not have the fertilizer 
watered in. 

258
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:35,280
The fertilizer burned it, killed
it, dried it up. 

259
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,240
So my wife was transplanting 
some hibiscus. 

260
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:46,480
We call it salad row because the
deer that come out of the 

261
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,720
preserve come down that part of 
our driveway and they eat their 

262
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,280
hibiscus salad as they go. 
Those hibiscus cannot make it 

263
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,040
over there on that side of the 
house. 

264
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,680
It is salad row. 
All right, so if we had a 

265
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,920
camera, we could set it up. 
There's no telling how many are 

266
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,880
coming by. 
All right, But there's a 

267
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,359
particular hibiscus they do not 
touch. 

268
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:12,400
So we purchased that particular 
one and she pulled up the 

269
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,839
hibiscus salads, put in the 
other ones, and she was going to

270
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,319
take one of those and plant it 
over there. 

271
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:21,880
Well, she couldn't dig out the 
old one, OK? 

272
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,720
Even though it was dead, it had 
a far enough root system that 

273
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,960
she couldn't pull it out. 
It was going to require my 

274
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,080
muscular strength. 
She needed Herman to show up. 

275
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,280
All right. 
OK. 

276
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,760
But Herman did not do this 
before we went camping. 

277
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,840
So she took her other hibiscus 
that was beautiful and green, 

278
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,000
put it in a pot, watered it, and
we left. 

279
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,920
When we came home, that plant 
was yellow because there was no 

280
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,200
additional watering. 
And you understand, when you 

281
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,680
pull a plant from its 
environment where it's been 

282
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,200
growing, it's at risk because it
needs to get planted and it 

283
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,120
needs to be watered often. 
You can't just water it once and

284
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,120
think it's going to be OK. 
Thank you, Lord, the Lord just 

285
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:14,200
said. 
That's like many of my 

286
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,120
believers. 
They uproot from one church and 

287
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,160
then they go to another and they
think they get a little bit of 

288
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,320
water and then they don't show 
up for about a month or two or 

289
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,080
so and they're wondering why 
they're all yellow and brown and

290
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,760
they're hindering and they can't
seem to get no fruit. 

291
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,960
It's because they don't get 
planted and get somewhere. 

292
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,560
They're watered. 
If you've been out of church for

293
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,920
a while, you shouldn't think one
time's enough. 

294
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,680
You should be committed to every
service. 

295
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,240
She should be anyway, but that's
how you thrive. 

296
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,880
With that being said, you know, 
it looked a little rough. 

297
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:48,400
It looked rough. 
Well, again, there are believers

298
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,000
that aren't getting planted 
water. 

299
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,880
They're allowing their root 
system to develop so they can be

300
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,040
somewhere. 
All right. 

301
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,360
But then we know when they get 
into good ground, ground where 

302
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:59,960
it's being when. 
When we say good soil, we're not

303
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:02,280
talking about just the soil 
itself. 

304
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,920
We're talking about the 
environment by which all the 

305
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,920
nutrients are being released, 
which means that irrigation is 

306
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,680
happening. 
The the farmer is making sure 

307
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,720
it's being irrigated. 
The farmer's making sure there's

308
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,840
no pestilence. 
The farmer's making sure no 

309
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,480
weeds are coming up around it. 
He is caring for it so that it 

310
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:26,840
can produce and bear what fruit.
Again, the latter three are all 

311
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,880
some form have a conversion 
process because they're no 

312
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,240
longer in the seed. 
They are plants. 

313
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,560
So the one that is sown among 
the thorns is no longer a seed, 

314
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,960
but it is a plant in it of 
itself, because the Bible tells 

315
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,080
us here, look at this in Mark 
four, the others that are among 

316
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,200
the thorn, they heard the word. 
But the worries of the world, 

317
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,480
the deceitfulness of riches, and
the desires of other things 

318
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,200
enter in and choke the word and 
it becomes what? 

319
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,920
Unfruitful. 
Well, if you're still in seed 

320
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:01,440
form, there's no way you're 
going to bear fruit. 

321
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,680
But if you're in plant form, 
fruit is expected. 

322
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,480
So as the plant grows, guess 
what else grew around it? 

323
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,160
Thorns. 
And the thorns began to invade 

324
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,600
and choked it so that it could 
not produce the fruit. 

325
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,400
But I like what this one says in
verse 19. 

326
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,360
It says but because the other 
one said the worries are the 

327
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:28,680
cares of life and the 
deceitfulness of riches. 

328
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,840
But this one goes one more 
further and it says and the 

329
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:37,280
desires for other things. 
So it's not just worrying the 

330
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,680
worries of the world. 
It's not just the worries of the

331
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,240
world. 
It's not just simple worrying. 

332
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,480
It's the worries of the world. 
You know, many people are in 

333
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,760
anxiety because of wars going on
right now. 

334
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,640
That is a worry of the world. 
You know, how many people are in

335
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,840
anxiety or worried because of 
financial things right now? 

336
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,160
You know, people are worried 
about food or worried about 

337
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,920
there's many things going on, 
Worried about whether they're 

338
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,240
going to, you know, be able to 
maintain their job or get a 

339
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,320
better job or whether they'll 
get into school, worried about, 

340
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,720
you know, how their kids are 
going to be. 

341
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,680
I mean, it's the worries of the 
world. 

342
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,000
OK. 
Then you have the deceitfulness 

343
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:23,080
of riches, meaning this desire 
to be rich begins to seduce you.

344
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,320
But not just that then just 
desires that you have on your, 

345
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,720
which is where many believers 
have taken the scripture out of 

346
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,440
context. 
God will give me the desires of 

347
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,600
my heart. 
Well again, God will give you 

348
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,680
the desires of your heart. 
God gives you the desires that 

349
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,520
he puts in your heart that then 
you can have, but you're not 

350
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,080
creating your own desire and 
saying you're going to give me 

351
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,400
what I want. 
You're saying, Lord, I want what

352
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,760
you want from me. 
And he says this is what I want 

353
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,120
for you, and you say, OK, I'll 
have what you want from me. 

354
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,280
So there are desires that are 
coming from seeing the things of

355
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:08,200
the world, seeing the comforts 
associated with this world 

356
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:16,000
system, the pleasures that are 
associated with it, and it will 

357
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,400
cause other desires to pop into 
you, so much so that what it 

358
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,120
does, it chokes the word and it 
becomes what? 

359
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,840
Unfruitful. 
Now look at Luke chapter 8. 

360
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,400
Luke chapter 8, verse 14. 
It says the seed fell among the 

361
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,120
thorns. 
These are the ones whom have 

362
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:40,160
heard, and as they go on their 
way, they are choked with 

363
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:46,200
worries and riches and pleasures
of this life and bring no fruit 

364
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:50,840
to now. 
I like this one 'cause this one 

365
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,360
lets us know what takes place on
the plant. 

366
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,760
This one confirms that it's not 
seed, but that it is a plant. 

367
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,240
So it has been converted and 
this person sits and hears the 

368
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:11,760
word, so much so that fruit 
actually begins to manifest. 

369
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,400
But just because fruit is on a 
plant doesn't mean it's matured 

370
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,320
or it's time to harvest. 
You've heard me tell the story 

371
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,640
of the banana tree I had in my 
one of my other residents before

372
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320
I move where I'm at today. 
And so we had these nice little 

373
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,680
cute ones. 
They were little bitty ones. 

374
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,000
I don't know what, you know, 
what type it was OK. 

375
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,120
But it was just, you know, these
small ones and they're green. 

376
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,600
And I'm looking at them and I'm 
like, waiting. 

377
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,200
I did not Google to determine 
when they're ready to harvest. 

378
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,160
They had been like that for a 
while. 

379
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,280
The ones up top started looking 
pretty nasty looking, you know, 

380
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,520
like they weren't. 
So I'm like, surely this is it. 

381
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,480
I've learned since when to cut 
it off for it to write. 

382
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:59,320
But prior I did not know. 
And in my ignorance, OK, because

383
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:05,800
I've been to Publix more than 
one time and seen green bananas 

384
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,480
that when I brought them to the 
house they ripened. 

385
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:17,760
OK, so I cut that whole thing 
off and I cut off one of those 

386
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,120
bananas and I waited for it to 
change some color. 

387
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,680
Well, it eventually changed a 
little bit. 

388
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,640
I peeled that thing back. 
I put it in my mouth. 

389
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,960
You understand? 
Everything in my mind was 

390
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:38,080
thinking of every store bought 
banana I ever have eaten, I've 

391
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:47,720
ever eaten, you hear me? 
And here I am biting into this 

392
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:58,480
fruitful banana. 
But much to my surprise, it was 

393
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,880
not mature. 
It was fake because I had 

394
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:10,480
harvested before maturity and 
when I put bit into it, there 

395
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,600
was no moisture. 
It was sticky. 

396
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,440
In fact, it pulled every piece 
of saliva away from my mouth to 

397
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,720
the banana. 
I could barely open my mouth. 

398
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,600
I had no moisture. 
It was the most horrific 

399
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:37,320
experience in my life, period. 
Now it was a plant. 

400
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:44,040
It had fruit, but it was bitter.
I said it was bitter. 

401
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,720
It was no good. 
It was only good to discard. 

402
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,560
Now anybody walking by with say,
wow, look at the fruit, but the 

403
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,800
fruits no good. 
It's not brought to maturity. 

404
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,320
I pulled it off before maturity 
came. 

405
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:12,800
I have a citrus tree now and you
know this is like it's 3rd, 3rd 

406
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,880
or 4th year. 
Maybe third? 

407
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,440
4th we're just kind of waiting 
because for it to develop a 

408
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,720
little differently because it's 
not had grapefruit yet. 

409
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,960
We're waiting. 
For it to develop better tasting

410
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,920
fruit, to get it to mature. 
Every year there's a boatload on

411
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,840
it, but they never mature. 
I never have been able to yet 

412
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,920
harvest off that tree. 
So there are a lot of believers 

413
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,080
that go to church, hear the 
word, start showing fruit, but 

414
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,680
they never allow their fruit to 
get to maturity. 

415
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,880
This is very. 
Important. 

416
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Because. 
Mature maturity is is the 

417
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,680
expectation of our Father. 
Maturity. 

418
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,560
Is the expectation of our 
Father. 

419
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,800
Hallelujah. 
This is why the church he'll 

420
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,120
come back for will be without 
spot or wrinkle. 

421
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:11,480
Do you understand we were in the
greatest time ever? 

422
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,080
I mean, think about it in. 
The beginning they had the Holy 

423
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,200
Spirit poured out upon. 
They had power. 

424
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,120
There were every miracle signs 
and wonders were happening. 

425
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,040
Miracle signs and wonders are 
happening even now in this age, 

426
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,600
right now, in this time frame of
the age of the Church. 

427
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760
But you know what the early 
Church did not have? 

428
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,040
It did not have the combination 
of all the writings put together

429
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,320
in such a way that they had such
ease of access. 

430
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,200
To the sacred. 
Writings, I mean what we have 

431
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,480
available for us right now plus 
the multiplying of the Spirit. 

432
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,640
We are of no excuse not to 
mature in the fruits of the 

433
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,360
Spirit and flow with the gifts 
of the Spirit. 

434
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:58,240
We are without excuse. 
In fact, Jesus makes a demand 

435
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,840
that we function that way and we
are. 

436
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,440
But in order to, we must avoid 
the choke conspiracy in the last

437
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,680
days. 
So it. 

438
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,880
Says that they heard the word, 
but because of worries, riches 

439
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,560
and pleasures of this life, no 
fruit was brought to maturity. 

440
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,400
Now has. 
Jesus ever experienced this con 

441
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,640
this? 
This. 

442
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,920
Conspiracy to pull him out of 
his assignment through being 

443
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,400
choked. 
Absolutely. 

444
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,520
We find it in Matthew chapter 
four, starts in verse eight in 

445
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,640
Matthew chapter 4. 
This was the devil's seduction. 

446
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,720
Here's where the. 
Devil tried to seduce Jesus. 

447
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,400
Cause. 
Cause. 

448
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,360
In what he knew what Jesus was 
coming for. 

449
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,160
And he wanted him to. 
Have it. 

450
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:10,280
On his terms. 
On his terms. 

451
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Again, the devil took him up on 
an exceeding high mountain. 

452
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,320
This is the temptation of Jesus 
and showed him. 

453
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,120
I find this interesting because 
two chapters, a few you know, in

454
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,200
the same book. 
Later on, when he gives the 

455
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:27,560
parable, Jesus has knowledge of 
this conspiracy, of this ability

456
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,560
to choke you. 
So when he talks his. 

457
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Peril. 
He's talking from experience. 

458
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,680
This has happened to me. 
He says. 

459
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,000
The devil took him to exceeding 
High mountain and showed him all

460
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,600
the kingdoms of the world and 
their glory. 

461
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:51,200
And he said all these things I 
will give you if you fall down 

462
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,760
and worship me. 
Now if we were in the Luke 

463
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,000
account of this temptation, we 
know that he says this. 

464
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,440
He says all this domain has been
handed over to me, and I can 

465
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,800
give it to whomever I want. 
Who gave him the dominion? 

466
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:11,040
Adam did We know in Genesis 126 
that God gave man dominion, and 

467
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,560
when Adam ate the fruit, he gave
his dominion to the devil. 

468
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,520
Adam was the God of this world. 
God is the God of all creation. 

469
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,640
He delegated his authority to 
man to rule over the earth. 

470
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,160
But man abdicated his throne and
gave it to the devil. 

471
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,360
And now the devil wasn't is 
known as the God of this world 

472
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,280
or the systems of this world. 
It was handed to him. 

473
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,000
He has it because he seduced 
Adam. 

474
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,720
Into thinking he could. 
Have all that God offered him on

475
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,400
his terms. 
He says I'll give all. 

476
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,680
This to you if you'll just fall 
down and worship me and Jesus 

477
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,040
said away with you Satan for it 
is what? 

478
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,000
You shall. 
Worship the Lord your God and 

479
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:03,600
and him only you shall serve. 
How does why does Jesus know 

480
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,600
this? 
Jesus knows this in Matthew 

481
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,480
chapter 6 verse 24. 
No one can serve 2 masters. 

482
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,200
For he will. 
For either he will hate the one 

483
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,760
and love the other, or he will 
be devoted to the one who 

484
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,000
despise the other. 
You cannot serve God and wealth.

485
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,720
Now, that doesn't mean you 
cannot have wealth. 

486
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,680
We're going to. 
This is the great conspiracy 

487
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:31,040
because everything the devil is 
offering you through worry, 

488
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,760
through seduction of riches and 
your own personal pleasures. 

489
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:46,440
In essence, he's. 
Saying if he's keeping you from 

490
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,840
what's rightfully yours. 
By. 

491
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,360
Seducing you to have it his way.
This is the great. 

492
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,240
Conspiracy and he's convinced 
many believers that they can't 

493
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,800
prosper. 
They can't have anything so he 

494
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,040
keeps them in low level living 
then others he'll get them over 

495
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,040
into I'll give you the wealth, 
I'll give you the prestige, I'll

496
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,400
give you the popularity. 
I'll give you all this. 

497
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,520
He'll hand you the world. 
The Bible says what good is it a

498
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:21,520
man to gain the whole world and 
forfeit his soul because he only

499
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:27,000
be continues to be a slave to 
the one who's no longer his 

500
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:33,400
father? 
In essence, the. 

501
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,560
Devil convinces you. 
God doesn't want you to have 

502
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,920
anything. 
God doesn't care about this 

503
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,880
earth. 
God doesn't care about your 

504
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,920
life. 
All he cares about is you go to 

505
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:43,960
heaven. 
And you know what? 

506
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,640
You've made that. 
You've done that. 

507
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,480
You've asked him. 
That's good. 

508
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,640
Now you just come on over here 
and I'll take care of you. 

509
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:56,880
I'll give it to. 
You. 

510
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,920
Convince you. 
Through one of his doctrines 

511
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,280
that the grace that's been 
applied to your life now it's 

512
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,040
got you covered. 
You can live with me again, live

513
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,800
for me again, live like me 
again, but because of the grace 

514
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:22,920
you covered all right, he. 
Says for this. 

515
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,360
Reason I say to you verse 25, do
not worry. 

516
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,880
About your life. 
As to what you eat or what 

517
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,640
you're going to drink, but no, 
for your body is what you're 

518
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,400
going to put on. 
Is not life more than food in 

519
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,480
the body more than clothing? 
Look at the birds of the air. 

520
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,360
The they do not sow nor reap or 
nor gather in the barns, yet 

521
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,120
your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not worth much more than

522
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,400
they are? 
And who are you being worried 

523
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,360
can add a single hour to his 
life? 

524
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,920
And why are you worried? 
About clothing, observe how the 

525
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,480
lilies of the field grow. 
They do not toll, nor do they 

526
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,040
spend. 
Yet I say to you that not even 

527
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,280
Solomon and all this glory 
clothe themselves like one of 

528
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,200
these. 
But if God so clothed the grass 

529
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,680
of the field which is alive 
today and tomorrow's thrown into

530
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,800
the furnace, how much more will 
he clothe you, you of little, 

531
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,679
little faith? 
Notice now in these two contexts

532
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:15,120
here he's talking about birds 
and he's then he's talking which

533
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,000
is dealing with food, and then 
he talks about plant flowers. 

534
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,800
When he's talking about your 
clothing, in essence, he's 

535
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,120
saying, listen, I created the 
birds, so I'll provide for the 

536
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,239
birds. 
That's the lesson there. 

537
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,040
Well, if God created us, then 
what's he saying? 

538
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,560
I'll provide for you. 
The second thing he says is look

539
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,960
at the lilies, he said. 
It's in their DNA to look like 

540
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,480
that. 
'Cause if. 

541
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,199
They only do what they were 
designed to do, then they're 

542
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:51,280
always covered. 
And if you will. 

543
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,199
Only do what you are purposed to
do, what you were created to do.

544
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,800
You're always going to be 
covered. 

545
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,760
You're taken care. 
Of it is a guarantee by the 

546
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,320
king. 
Guaranteed. 

547
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Guaranteed by the king. 
Hallelujah. 

548
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,480
It's amazing how much comfort we
put in a paycheck. 

549
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,640
Yeah, your daddy owns the 
planet. 

550
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,680
That we put our. 
Worth and how much we filed on 

551
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,640
our taxes. 
Instead of the. 

552
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,560
Worth that we are in the 
Kingdom. 

553
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:38,160
Verse 30. 
One he says, do not worry then 

554
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,680
saying, what will we eat or what
will we drink, or and what we 

555
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,360
will wear for clothing? 
For the Gentiles eagerly seek 

556
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,360
all these things. 
Your heavenly Father knows that 

557
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:52,400
you need all these, but what? 
Seek first his and His, and all 

558
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,400
these things shall be added to 
you. 

559
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,360
Shall be added to. 
You now the Luke chapter 12 

560
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:08,520
account of this same passage of 
Matthew has another tag at the 

561
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:14,320
end when it says in verse 
chapter 12 starting in verse 31 

562
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,560
but seek his Kingdom and the 
things these things will be 

563
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,480
added to you. 
Then he goes on and tells us in 

564
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:24,120
verse 32, Do not be what? 
Little. 

565
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:32,640
Flock in essence, don't worry, 
don't be anxious, have no 

566
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:40,680
concern, live carefree. 
For. 

567
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:46,280
Your father has chosen what 
gladly to give you the Kingdom, 

568
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,080
so the devil wants to give you 
wealth. 

569
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,440
Riches. 
Fame pleasures, but at the 

570
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,960
expense of your life. 
Your Heavenly Father wants to 

571
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:08,280
give you wealth, notoriety in 
his Kingdom cause fame's a whole

572
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:14,120
nother ball game. 
Significance full provision. 

573
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:20,000
He's he's glad to give you. 
He's not withholding wealth from

574
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,680
you. 
He's not withholding from you a 

575
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,760
good life. 
'Cause there are. 

576
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,880
Certain things in the Kingdom 
that have greater value. 

577
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,160
He said the. 
Kingdom of God is not meat or 

578
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,560
drink, meaning natural 
substance, but it's 

579
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,840
righteousness, peace and joy in 
the Holy Ghost. 

580
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,920
Well if you have righteousness 
then it's going to open up a 

581
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:52,160
whole thing for you. 
Things that the devil can give 

582
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,560
you on credit. 
What do I mean by that? 

583
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,080
He will seduce you in to working
for him. 

584
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,920
He'll give you. 
Bonuses, promotions, no fame. 

585
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,040
He'll give you national 
prominence. 

586
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,120
Get your name out everywhere 
only to crush you. 

587
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,800
He only comes. 
To steal, kill and destroy. 

588
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,120
And he will prop you up in order
for you to decimate other 

589
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,960
people's lives. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

590
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,640
He'll do these things. 
OK. 

591
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,880
And so we have to understand 
there's a conspiracy that is 

592
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,760
taking place within the church 
that all of a sudden you really 

593
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,560
can't, cannot get along or, or 
really go somewhere if you're 

594
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:50,320
going to follow God. 
You're not going to get. 

595
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,520
Ahead, if you really stay loyal 
to him. 

596
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,840
Look what it says in second. 
Timothy chapter 2, starting in 

597
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:06,840
verse four, says no soldier in 
active service entangles himself

598
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:11,840
in the affairs of everyday life 
so that he may please the one 

599
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,440
who enlisted him as a soldier. 
Also. 

600
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,760
If anyone competes as an 
athlete, he does not win the 

601
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,800
prize unless he competes 
according to the rules. 

602
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,840
The hard working farmer. 
We started this out. 

603
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,320
We're talking about sowing seed 
from the farm. 

604
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,800
The hard working farmer ought to
be what ought. 

605
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,560
To be the. 
What the What 1st to receive his

606
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:48,240
share of the crops. 
Notice the farmer sows, knowing 

607
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,720
it's not all for me. 
You don't want to hear that. 

608
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:55,840
That's fine. 
The farmer knows I'm sowing not 

609
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,960
all for me. 
It's not just for me. 

610
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:05,000
There are others that this is 
going to bless, nourish, help. 

611
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:12,080
I'm not living life just for me.
I'm not doing that. 

612
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,000
And he says the farmer ought to 
receive first. 

613
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,920
So understand when you're giving
your life to Jesus, Jesus say, 

614
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,720
well, I'll take care of you. 
OK, well, when is it? 

615
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:27,840
When am I going to get my time? 
Are you doing for the Lord? 

616
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,920
God is thinking. 
About you first. 

617
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,560
In what you're. 
Doing. 

618
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,600
But here's the thing, you are 
not to entangle yourselves. 

619
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,560
With the affairs of the. 
World. 

620
00:40:47,410 --> 00:40:50,370
And there are more. 
Believers that understand more 

621
00:40:50,370 --> 00:40:55,170
about stock markets today, 
economic trends. 

622
00:40:55,170 --> 00:40:58,090
I'm not saying you shouldn't 
know things, and I'm not saying 

623
00:40:58,090 --> 00:41:00,650
that God couldn't lead you to do
things. 

624
00:41:02,210 --> 00:41:07,250
Brother Hagin. 
Knew a particular gentleman who 

625
00:41:07,730 --> 00:41:12,640
had wealth and he invested his 
money, but he said I I never 

626
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,360
lost on an investment. 
He said when I invested in one 

627
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,840
of his books, he said he would 
go to his prayer closet because 

628
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,040
this is how believers they seek 
first. 

629
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,040
He heard of. 
An opportunity to invest and he 

630
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,200
would ask the king, do you want 
me to put my money there? 

631
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:34,240
Because again. 
Even Jesus understood of natural

632
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:40,880
markets for increase because he 
reprimanded one of his servants 

633
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,440
because they did not take the 
talent he left them and put it 

634
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,040
at least in a bank to earn 
interest. 

635
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,080
Because God always. 
Expects increase because God 

636
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,520
always will have increase 
because God's always increasing.

637
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,000
But he. 
Prayed and and the what some 

638
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,520
markets that everyone was 
getting into. 

639
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,480
He did not, and the ones 
everyone was not getting into, 

640
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,920
he would invest in, he said. 
I never lost. 

641
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,400
Once. 
Because I only invested, as the 

642
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,160
Lord said. 
But you know what? 

643
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,560
Most people aren't listening to 
the Lord, They're only listening

644
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,200
to the market. 
Many of us. 

645
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,200
If we don't watch out, we will 
learn the world system and it 

646
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,600
has a system, and that system 
will bring prosperity. 

647
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,640
But it brings a whole. 
Lot of other stuff with it too. 

648
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,160
Whereas if we'll. 
Seek first the Kingdom. 

649
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,720
God will tell us how to engage 
different things within this 

650
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:50,560
world so that we are not at 
loss. 

651
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:56,560
Yet He Himself has some systems 
in play, period, that are not of

652
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,360
this world. 
Tithing is not of this world. 

653
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,120
Giving offerings to the Lord is 
not of this world. 

654
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,280
There are certain markets he has
that he's always talked about a 

655
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,760
return on, and they are 
foolproof if they are 

656
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:18,880
accompanied with your faith. 
Yet we will learn other markets.

657
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,760
We will invest thousands of 
dollars to go to other seminars.

658
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,880
And yet spend. 
Very little time in the 

659
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,560
scripture. 
It's a choke. 

660
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,200
Conspiracy. 
Because. 

661
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,600
The minute you start bringing it
in, I know what believers do. 

662
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,640
They hear the word, Oh the Lord 
bless me. 

663
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:55,130
Did he? 
Because the devil can. 

664
00:43:55,130 --> 00:44:00,330
Give you good stuff too. 
That's how he seduces. 

665
00:44:00,850 --> 00:44:05,200
You have to know in your spirit 
I'm doing the will of God in 

666
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,640
this action. 
And if you don't know that. 

667
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,520
In your spirit, then you're just
doing natural, and you may 

668
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,120
prosper, but that natural may 
become seductive. 

669
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,160
Man, you can go make. 
A lot of money, You know, there 

670
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,160
are a lot of believers right now
that are in marijuana farms. 

671
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:34,320
Hey, I'm a preach. 
It's a plant. 

672
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,800
An illegal one at. 
That for a long time, but you 

673
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,880
know, the government needed 
another revenue to tax. 

674
00:44:47,720 --> 00:44:50,560
I mean, it's easy to. 
Change a drug from being illegal

675
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,400
to legal. 
Just go to Portland. 

676
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,320
They did that experiment and it 
didn't work very well. 

677
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,040
Decided that. 
All these particular drugs are 

678
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,120
not illegal. 
And there and society just 

679
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:10,560
continued to plummet. 
Hallelujah. 

680
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,640
It really shouldn't be that 
quiet here. 

681
00:45:19,290 --> 00:45:25,370
But people like the. 
Way it makes them feel right. 

682
00:45:26,850 --> 00:45:29,250
Amen, say. 
Well, I'm using it. 

683
00:45:29,250 --> 00:45:34,810
For municipal. 
Yeah. 

684
00:45:34,810 --> 00:45:38,440
That. 
Well. 

685
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,520
Prescription drugs are used for 
that, but do you want to live on

686
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,000
them? 
Because I don't see too. 

687
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,600
Many I'm trying to come off of 
it. 

688
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,800
And why is it not? 
Regulated. 

689
00:45:52,400 --> 00:46:00,560
OK, it's a conspiracy. 
All these things are to try to, 

690
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,640
you know, all the things of the 
world are to try. 

691
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,360
There's conspiracies to try to 
give you a false sense of peace.

692
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:10,920
Take. 
Off the pressures of you know 

693
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:16,560
how many people are avid 
drinkers or smokers because they

694
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:21,560
say it calms them? 
They say that. 

695
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,640
You saw How do you know? 
Because I had a father who said 

696
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,720
that who was an alcoholic who 
could not go a day without 

697
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:34,320
drinking. 
Calm his. 

698
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,840
Nerves. 
Well, it just slowed down his 

699
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,760
judgment. 
Didn't bring him. 

700
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,320
Peace, because the same problems
were there the next morning. 

701
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:49,120
It gave him no answer. 
So the enemy's. 

702
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,080
Constantly trying to give you 
this illusion of what the Father

703
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:57,040
chooses to give you gladly 
through his Kingdom, but it's on

704
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,320
his terms. 
And he wants. 

705
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,080
To bless you, in fact, let's 
look at this. 

706
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,040
Look at Psalms 3527. 
This is powerful. 

707
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,840
It says let them shout for joy. 
Let them shout for. 

708
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,280
Joy and be what? 
Who? 

709
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,480
Favor my righteous cause. 
What do we see in Matthew 633? 

710
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,000
He says, seek first the Kingdom 
and his righteousness. 

711
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,640
That's his way of doing things. 
He said, you can shout for joy, 

712
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,520
you'll be glad who favor my 
righteous call. 

713
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,720
Let and let them say continually
let the Lord be magnified. 

714
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:39,320
Who, who's who? 
The Father is who? 

715
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:44,720
Who is who has pleasure in the 
prosperity of his servants? 

716
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,560
So God does not have pleasure in
your poverty. 

717
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,680
He has. 
Pleasure in your prosperity, but

718
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:00,280
prosperity is a direct result of
you knowing His righteous cause,

719
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,400
'cause when you seek His Kingdom
and seek His righteousness, then

720
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,920
wealth has to follow, because 
God owns it all anyway. 

721
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,960
The silver. 
And gold is not the devil's. 

722
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,520
Nowhere in scripture does it say
the silver and gold is the 

723
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,640
devil's. 
He has access. 

724
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,840
Is he using it? 
Yes, but it says the silver and 

725
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:29,600
gold are mine, says the Lord. 
He's the one who put it in the 

726
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:34,040
earth in the 1st place. 
He says I own all the cattle on 

727
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,480
1000 Hills. 
He's the one who actually owns 

728
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,240
the planet. 
He's just looking for his kids 

729
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,880
to prosper his way. 
And. 

730
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:49,760
Not get caught in the conspiracy
of the great promotion, the 

731
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:56,120
great fame, the great, you know,
bonuses, the great new salary 

732
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,920
that sucks you out of your your 
place in the church, keeps you 

733
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,240
working constant hours. 
But man, you're buying your boat

734
00:49:05,240 --> 00:49:07,160
now. 
You're buying your bigger house 

735
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,640
now, but your family's falling 
apart, your kids are falling 

736
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,560
apart. 
And all the while you're saying 

737
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:23,000
God's bless me all the while, 
all the while, yeah, the Lord's 

738
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:28,680
like I got things for you. 
And he has great. 

739
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,480
Joy. 
And many have. 

740
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,160
Fallen away from the faith 
because they're just tired of 

741
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:39,400
being broke. 
So it's. 

742
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,960
Easier to accept that I'll go to
heaven when I die. 

743
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:50,240
Well, I am going to work, I'm 
going to get a job, I'm going to

744
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:52,880
make money. 
I'm not going to live like that 

745
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,200
while I'm here and I'm going to 
enjoy this life while I'm here. 

746
00:49:58,640 --> 00:49:59,920
And they? 
Compromise. 

747
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:04,640
They're fit in the church. 
To pursue. 

748
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,880
It. 
Great. 

749
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,600
Wealth is laid up for those 
who'll seek the Kingdom. 

750
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,720
Great wealth. 
Actually, great wealth. 

751
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,360
Great wealth. 
In fact, the Bible even talks 

752
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,360
about that the wealth of the 
wicked. 

753
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:40,680
Is being laid up. 
For the righteous problem is, is

754
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,520
that we have personal desires 
that we want to see fulfilled 

755
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,560
now. 
More than we. 

756
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,000
Want the desire to please him 
daily? 

757
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,520
Look at this proverbs. 18 
Proverbs 8 this is powerful. 

758
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,800
Look at this Proverbs 8 starting
verse 17 and this whole you 

759
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,400
should read the whole chapter 
because it's talking about 

760
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,360
wisdom. 
OK, verse 17 says I love those 

761
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,560
who love me. 
And those. 

762
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:16,280
Who diligently seek me will will
find me see you have to seek 

763
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,680
first the. 
Kingdom. 

764
00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:23,320
I mean, there are people. 
That are diligent. 

765
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,960
Diligent. 
At following every billionaire 

766
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,920
and learning of their ways. 
It's. 

767
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:40,000
True, it's good all. 
The while compromising their 

768
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,680
purpose to choke conspiracy. 
'Cause they really don't. 

769
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:50,800
Believe that God wants them to 
have everything they need for 

770
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:58,360
their purpose. 
Because for some of us, when I 

771
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:04,240
say some, I'm talking about 
general, in general, is that we 

772
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:10,640
imagine a life for ourselves 
that doesn't mirror the purpose 

773
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:15,000
by which we were designed. 
And we are trying to tell God we

774
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,280
love our image of our life 
better than your image of our 

775
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:23,000
life. 
But he's the one who made. 

776
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,480
You. 
He's the one who knew you before

777
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,240
you and your mother's womb. 
The greatest thing you could 

778
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:30,040
ever do is discover why you're 
here. 

779
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:40,280
Hallelujah, you got to ask 
yourself the. 

780
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:45,240
Question why is the Lord giving 
you riches to pay off all your 

781
00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:47,920
stuff? 
So that you can have. 

782
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:55,550
More stuff, look what it says 
here. 

783
00:52:55,950 --> 00:52:58,550
I love those who love me, and 
those who diligent, seek me will

784
00:52:58,550 --> 00:53:00,630
find me. 
Riches and honor are with me. 

785
00:53:00,630 --> 00:53:04,950
Enduring wealth. 
Riches and honor. 

786
00:53:04,950 --> 00:53:07,670
Are with me enduring wealth and 
righteousness. 

787
00:53:07,910 --> 00:53:16,440
This is amazing, he says. 
My fruit is better than gold, 

788
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,840
even pure gold, and my yield 
better than the choice of 

789
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:26,960
silver. 
I. 

790
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,480
I walk in the way of 
righteousness in the midst of 

791
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,760
the paths of justice to endow 
those who love me with. 

792
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,480
With wealth. 
That I may feel their 

793
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:45,840
treasuries. 
Now here's the thing. 

794
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:50,160
About the wealth from God, it 
looks nothing like the world. 

795
00:53:53,960 --> 00:54:02,200
Nothing the way to obtain. 
It is totally different. 

796
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:10,320
In fact, I would say this, when 
the Lord allows you to utilize 

797
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:15,360
some of the systems in the world
today, it's because He's 

798
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,160
transferring that wealth of the 
wicked to you. 

799
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,040
But your. 
Wealth is not tied up in only 

800
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:29,680
the wicked's wealth. 
There is new wealth to. 

801
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:34,320
Come. 
To that you can have based upon 

802
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,680
God himself, and some of these 
things are ideas. 

803
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,400
Things that haven't. 
Even come to the planet yet, but

804
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,080
God just wants to foster the 
idea in you. 

805
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,600
That you create. 
Your own wealth. 

806
00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:02,480
But these come. 
Because you seek and this word. 

807
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:07,720
Seek is not a casual word. 
If we only. 

808
00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:11,600
Pursued God like we pursued the 
world's way of getting wealthy. 

809
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,280
And in the. 
Last days great seduction. 

810
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,560
Great seduction. 
In fact, I'll even prophecy 

811
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,480
right now. 
I believe I have the ear of the 

812
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:27,320
Spirit, he says in that 
scripture that says the wealth 

813
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,240
of the wicked is laid up for the
righteous. 

814
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,560
Many of that wealth is coming 
from those who used to be with 

815
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:40,760
me, and I'll transfer it from 
them back to my house. 

816
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,560
Yet they'll. 
Say that they were blessing me. 

817
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,600
Because you understand a. 
Person that's deceived in 

818
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,080
religion believes they're doing 
everything for the Lord. 

819
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:05,760
Come on now. 
Let me get out of the get out of

820
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,040
the Christianity for a minute. 
Anyone that is following 

821
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:15,000
Muhammad believes they are doing
that for the Lord, for God, and 

822
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:20,680
those actions are honoring God. 
They are convinced of. 

823
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,040
That until life changes them, 
they're convinced of that. 

824
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,560
There are many people that are 
praying to Mary today because 

825
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,840
they are convinced that she is 
the doorway to the Father. 

826
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,680
They are convinced of that and 
they are doing the work of the 

827
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,960
Lord when they pray to her. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

828
00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:46,320
And they are. 
Blessed, you know, praise the 

829
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,200
Lord. 
God bless you. 

830
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:52,960
They're saying these things. 
Yet those who are. 

831
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,800
Discerning realized. 
Not so. 

832
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,520
And there are some who. 
Will fall away from the faith, 

833
00:56:58,720 --> 00:57:01,440
only to give back into the faith
because the Lord says, well 

834
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:06,760
that's mine anyway. 
And you went out. 

835
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:18,640
Of order in order to obtain it. 
Hallelujah so. 

836
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:25,000
We understand then if we just 
stay with the Kingdom, then 

837
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,440
riches, honor and enduring 
wealth. 

838
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:39,000
Hallelujah right now. 
You're just like me. 

839
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,040
You're like Lord. 
We need to crack that 

840
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:49,840
revelation. 
More so, more so. 

841
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,840
We need to crack that revelation
how that works. 

842
00:57:53,840 --> 00:58:00,360
I still believe we're only 
scratching the surface of how 

843
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:05,560
that functions, and mainly it's 
because we're not technically 

844
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:10,440
seeking him to determine it. 
Now with that. 

845
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,800
Being said, you have to honor 
your heart. 

846
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,080
This passage is not seeking 
wealth. 

847
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,400
This passage is. 
Seeking him. 

848
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,120
So you always have to. 
Examine yourself when you're 

849
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:27,360
going in, said, Oh Lord, I'm 
coming to seek you because I've 

850
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,560
already concluded I am 
completely taken care of. 

851
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,920
I'm in your Kingdom. 
I am the wealthiest person on 

852
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,280
the planet and it doesn't have 
to be in my account. 

853
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,040
Hallelujah. 
But I do have access. 

854
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,120
Hallelujah. 
And you're going to give me the.

855
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,440
Idea You're going to give me the
wisdom, you're going to tell me 

856
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,640
how to navigate. 
You're going to help me, you're 

857
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,920
going to show me, and I'm going 
to seek you. 

858
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,640
And I am not going to look at 
the world's ways to determine, 

859
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,200
in fact, Abraham. 
Abraham. 

860
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,520
Turned away. 
The world's way. 

861
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,760
Literally, God made him. 
Exceedingly wealthy. 

862
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,600
Which means, again, let me say 
Jacob real quick so we can get 

863
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,400
over to Communion. 
Remember Jacob? 

864
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:21,320
Jacob had been working for Laban
for 10 years. 

865
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:25,520
He changed his wage constantly. 
Now the Lord's like you got to 

866
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,520
go. 
I've changed his ways 10 times. 

867
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,440
He worked in 20 years. 
He's going to leave now. 

868
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,760
And so he goes lame and says, 
look, I'm going to, I need to 

869
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,840
take care of my own family. 
It's time for me to go back 

870
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,880
home. 
He said, OK, name your price. 

871
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,240
He said, look, I I'm not asking 
you to do anything. 

872
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,640
Why does he do that 'cause 
you're not an honest guy and the

873
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:47,080
world system is not honest. 
All markets are manipulated. 

874
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:52,160
They are driven by fear. 
Everything, everything. 

875
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:59,960
It's the spirit of fear. 
So as a result of that, he says,

876
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:06,040
I don't need you to do anything.
I just want every sheep that is 

877
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:11,360
spotted, right? 
They have spots on them now when

878
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,720
Laban looks out at his flock. 
There are very few spotted 

879
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,040
sheep. 
So he's like. 

880
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,560
It's great deal. 
What he doesn't know is that God

881
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:29,720
gave him a business plan in his 
dream, in a dream where he had 

882
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,360
to bring some reeds to the 
watering through. 

883
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,360
A thing that is. 
Not happening anywhere. 

884
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:44,960
And based upon that method he 
transferred all the wealth and 

885
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:49,960
strength of the flock to produce
nothing but spotted sheep. 

886
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:54,400
So much so that Laban looks out 
one day or he gets a report from

887
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,360
his guys that there are way more
spotted sheep and they're a lot 

888
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,400
stronger than your feeble 
looking plain ones. 

889
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,840
And what did he want? 
To do still again, because 

890
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,240
that's what the system does. 
You weren't for me. 

891
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,000
You make me wealth and I'll 
steal from you. 

892
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:19,000
But Jacob. 
'S life it's time to go packed 

893
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:24,440
the family up and they were gone
right Abraham had gotten had 

894
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:28,960
received God ideas on his wealth
with his livestock. 

895
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:35,160
Then he received divine favor 
from kings that gave him wealth.

896
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:40,200
Then when he went to go conquer 
some kings because his nephew 

897
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:46,120
and his family had been seized. 
The King. 

898
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:52,760
Of Sodom, who was a extremely 
unrighteous king. 

899
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,880
Horrible community that did not 
make it in the planet. 

900
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,880
Out of. 
Appreciation. 

901
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,120
Says to him. 
You can keep the spoils. 

902
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,480
And what does Abram say to that 
king system? 

903
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,760
He says, I'm taking nothing from
you. 

904
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,400
This is powerful. 
See, this is no a person who has

905
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,080
heard the voice of God, who 
doesn't conclude all the wealth 

906
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,520
of the wicked laid up for the 
righteous, just 'cause I know 

907
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,080
the Scripture, I'm taking it. 
It may not be applicable. 

908
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,000
In this case, it was not 
applicable. 

909
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:35,520
And he says no, I'm taking 
nothing from you because I know 

910
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,920
you. 
I've been given an inside track 

911
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:42,480
of your character and you'll go 
around and tell everyone that 

912
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,920
the prosperity that I have, 
you're the one who gave it to 

913
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,680
me. 
You going to take credit for it.

914
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,840
So I'm taking nothing from you. 
Now the guys who came with me, 

915
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,200
they get to replenish anything 
they use, but for me, I get 

916
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,240
nothing. 
Only one person is going to be 

917
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,840
known that they brought me 
wealth is it's the Lord. 

918
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:09,360
It's the Lord which tells me 
maybe some who are getting great

919
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,960
gains and stocks should never 
talk about it. 

920
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,560
Well, the stock market. 
Made you wealth? 

921
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,200
No, I was in a closet and the 
Lord told me to invest in that. 

922
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:37,760
But the world won't believe. 
That it's a choke conspiracy. 

923
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,920
We close with this third John. 
The second verse says this. 

924
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:49,120
Beloved, I pray that in all 
respects you may prosper and be 

925
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,880
in good health. 
How? 

926
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:57,640
Just as your soul prospers, so 
this is the three dimension of 

927
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,680
man. 
Do you understand? 

928
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,880
Number one, because we are born 
again. 

929
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,880
Our spirit man is alive unto 
God. 

930
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,360
We are made righteous. 
We are the righteous of God in 

931
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,680
Christ. 
We have access to the throne 

932
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,920
room of heaven. 
We have access to the throne of 

933
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:16,280
grace. 
He will give us help and time of

934
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,040
need. 
We can boldly come before the 

935
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,640
throne. 
We have access because the 

936
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,720
Spirit of God living in us. 
He is our financial advisor and 

937
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:30,080
He is extremely wise. 
Extremely. 

938
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:34,960
Wise again, when you have that 
kind of financial advisor, you 

939
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:40,960
can receive funds from anywhere.
Jesus showed. 

940
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,160
This because he was full of the 
Holy Ghost. 

941
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,720
And he says, Peter. 
Go fishing and he gets tax money

942
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,560
without having to go all the way
back and find Judas and get it 

943
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:56,760
out of their account. 
He let the fish. 

944
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:02,000
Go bring him wealth that day. 
He could pray. 

945
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:06,080
Over the amount he has and it 
would multiply in front of him. 

946
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,320
See again we. 
Want to have certain things yet?

947
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,960
The Lord's like, I'll take care 
of what's already in you. 

948
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,400
You don't. 
You don't know how much rice you

949
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:19,080
actually have right now. 
Oh, you don't want to see 

950
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,360
because the Kingdom system of 
wealth looks way different. 

951
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,560
That you may be in a. 
Place that you're like, man, 

952
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,960
we're going to have to eat here.
The Lord's like you have no idea

953
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,480
how much is actually in your 
cupboard right now. 

954
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:39,040
You have more than every 
stockroom in the nation right in

955
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,080
that one little jar. 
Oh, you're not you're not 

956
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,080
hearing me. 
I mean, you got to get 

957
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,680
revelation of this. 
You understand you have more 

958
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:52,040
access than every Amazon 
warehouse right now. 

959
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,080
You have more access than that 
that it could be in your 

960
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,640
cupboard right now. 
That when the. 

961
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:05,520
Worries of the world and 
recession and inflation and all 

962
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,920
these things are happening and 
like, how are we going to pair 

963
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:09,560
out you like we can always pay 
the house. 

964
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,040
We're going to have the house 
paid off. 

965
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,720
We're going to have this you're 
It's amazing what God can do 

966
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:19,480
with what you have. 
God says. 

967
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:21,880
You want to know who the 
wealthiest was today in the 

968
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:28,160
offering? 
It wasn't the wealthy ones, it 

969
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,600
was the one who gave everything 
she had. 

970
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,400
And to you it seemed 
insignificant, but it opened up 

971
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,560
the windows of heaven. 
And now that account will flow. 

972
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:44,880
Every. 
Time. 

973
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:50,160
Miracle. 
We we are all hungering and 

974
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,960
thirsting for miracle signs and 
wonders, but the only ones we 

975
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,720
want are blind eyes open, the 
lame walking, the deaf ears 

976
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,120
coming up. 
And nobody wants a miracle of 

977
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,920
you know what, honey? 
We may not have enough for 

978
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,160
groceries. 
In fact, God spoke to me today 

979
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,440
that I should give extra in the 
offering, which means we're not 

980
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:08,840
going to buy groceries this 
week. 

981
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,200
Oh. 
Y'all don't want to hear this? 

982
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:11,680
At all. 
Why? 

983
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:18,040
Because it's crazy thinking. 
We are going to. 

984
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:23,400
Sew that. 
And every time. 

985
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,760
Because I heard the Lord say 
there's more than enough rice. 

986
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:29,640
So why? 
More than enough this week. 

987
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:34,040
And every time you go, if it can
happen for a widow woman back 

988
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:38,280
then, it's the same word. 
Is this good yesterday, today 

989
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,880
and forever? 
But we don't want to tap into 

990
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:46,040
that because the deception, the 
seduction, the conspiracy is you

991
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,720
got to see your wealth. 
You got to feel your wealth. 

992
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,120
You got to have access to your 
wealth all the time where you 

993
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,240
can see it, check in on all your
accounts, look at your 

994
01:07:55,240 --> 01:08:02,440
portfolio, know your net worth. 
Yeah, you walk into. 

995
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:06,920
A cover and says Publix does not
have as much rice stock today as

996
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:10,280
I do. 
Cause I've heard from. 

997
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,160
The King. 
And that is not. 

998
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,040
Lack. 
That is more than enough. 

999
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:22,640
That's exceeding abundantly 
beyond what you could think or 

1000
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,040
imagine. 
See, we think exceedingly 

1001
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:30,000
abundantly are huge numbers. 
How in the world can I put gas 

1002
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:34,840
in my tank and it go 5 weeks? 
That's called. 

1003
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:39,960
Exceedingly abundantly beyond 
what you could ask or think, 

1004
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,399
'cause he just kept it in the 
tank. 

1005
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,000
Now, that doesn't mean you. 
Won't have material possessions 

1006
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:56,080
that you can't arrive to certain
aspects of great wealth, sure, 

1007
01:08:56,319 --> 01:09:00,359
as long as when you come to that
place and the Lord says so that 

1008
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:03,520
100,000. 
That you're like. 

1009
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,600
Sure. 
Been waiting on you. 

1010
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:10,319
To ask. 
That's why it was there the 

1011
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:14,080
whole time. 
And yet we're teaching. 

1012
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:17,319
The church that you you barely 
are going to make it. 

1013
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:19,240
You're hardly going to make it. 
Just wait till you get to 

1014
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,120
heaven. 
The Lord's like there's not a 

1015
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:22,880
warehouse in the earth. 
That's right. 

1016
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,399
That's. 
Right 'cause I'm going to. 

1017
01:09:26,399 --> 01:09:29,240
Tell you your greatest resource 
and I'm going to close with this

1018
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,520
and we're going to do communion.
So come on ushers, listen. 

1019
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,760
The wealthiest? 
Nations today are the ones 

1020
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:47,359
holding the oil, the ones 
holding the oil, the ones who 

1021
01:09:47,359 --> 01:09:51,200
have a deep reservoir. 
What kind of? 

1022
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:55,680
Oil are you holding right now? 
What kind of oil is on the 

1023
01:09:55,680 --> 01:10:01,560
inside of you? 
What? 

1024
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,680
Anointing. 
Do you have? 

1025
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:05,560
How? 
What? 

1026
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:10,840
Kind of oil reserve, are you 
carrying that you're not tapping

1027
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:17,680
into? 
It's the wealthiest thing. 

1028
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:26,640
You just got to pull it up. 
Just got to pull it up. 

1029
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:35,040
Just pull it up, pull it up. 
And as you pull it up, praying 

1030
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,880
in the Spirit. 
Building up your. 

1031
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:42,840
Most holy faith. 
'Cause with faith. 

1032
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,920
You can do anything. 
Pulling up the word. 

1033
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:52,800
Of the king pulling up wisdom, 
pulling up insight, shutting 

1034
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,280
down all the voices. 
You just keep drilling. 

1035
01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:01,360
Pulling it up, pulling it up, 
pulling it up produce some 

1036
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:06,920
barrel after barrel after barrel
after barrel after barrel after 

1037
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,360
barrel. 
And when all the natural oil 

1038
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,280
runs dry, the Holy Ghost lives 
forever. 

1039
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,200
You have an. 
Exhaustible supply of the Spirit

1040
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,920
and. 
The devil wants to. 

1041
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:29,840
Seduce you with pleasurable 
desires that God says I would 

1042
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:33,520
gladly give you if you just seek
my Kingdom. 

1043
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,160
Cause with me. 
You'll never be in. 

1044
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:53,000
Lack if you're here today and. 
You've never made Jesus, the 

1045
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,960
Lord of your life, come to the 
wealthiest place on the planet. 

1046
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:04,480
It's the Kingdom. 
It's the Kingdom and I do 

1047
01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:10,400
believe in these last days, not 
only will things we have 

1048
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:14,760
multiply because God is just 
doing that to test our faith. 

1049
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:22,600
But we'll. 
Also just have and those who 

1050
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,520
have is because they know how to
hear. 

1051
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,360
Because what they have. 
Doesn't have them, they're just 

1052
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:36,920
waiting to sow it. 
In essence, I'm just looking for

1053
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:40,600
another good work to give it 
away. 

1054
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:46,800
I'm just going to give it away. 
I just need to give it away. 

1055
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,200
Because I just have. 
So much. 

1056
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,440
Because I have. 
The name of Jesus. 

1057
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,640
What else do I need? 
Because I can ask the. 

1058
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,680
Father anything in his. 
And he will do it. 

1059
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:13,360
According to his will, wow. 
Thank you so much.
