1 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,500 Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast 2 00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:15,900 from st. Augustine Florida. 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,300 Now, enjoy this message. So that being said, let's look 4 00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:26,900 at Luke Chapter 19 Verse 13. As you as it is our custom. 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,500 And when I say custom because the Lord spoke to me last year, 6 00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:34,300 that I do a lot of leadership, training for the staff, we have 7 00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:40,300 76 employees and growing as an organization between all the 8 00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:42,600 elements that are connected to Anchor of a church. 9 00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:47,000 And so with that being said, you know, we have to learn to 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,900 develop as a leader to navigate the different businesses that we 11 00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:52,500 are. Rin. 12 00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:56,000 And you know in the world there's all kinds of leadership 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,800 seminars. I mean my gosh man. 14 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,600 If I could charge what the world charges for leadership seminars, 15 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,800 you know, we probably pay them all off right now and the things 16 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,300 that we're saying are actually better than most of the stuff. 17 00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,100 They, these people are spending thousands upon tens of thousands 18 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:13,100 of dollars for because in the first place. 19 00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,000 But with that being said, you know, we do leadership and the 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,800 Lord spoke to me. And he says, you need to begin 21 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,100 to do some Leadership Lessons on Wednesday nights to the 22 00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:24,500 congregation because they were They're in the workforce, they 23 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:29,000 are out and about in society and they will rise to the top as 24 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,700 they grow in their leadership at work because it's not just for 25 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,400 the church, okay? And so we began to do these 26 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,800 things. Well, we started to want to do 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,700 it on the last Wednesday of the month and we have five 28 00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:46,200 Wednesday. So I ended up picking this one, 29 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,100 because it just got impressed in my spirit. 30 00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,900 We should do one tonight and so we're going to do that. 31 00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:53,200 Amen. So when Luke Chapter 19 Verse 32 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,800 13. Again, this for everybody in the 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,000 house, it says this. And then he called his ten 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,100 servants and delivered them ten pounds and said unto them 35 00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:05,300 occupy. Till I come The New American 36 00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:08,500 Standard says that this way and he gave and he called 10 of his 37 00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:13,000 slaves and gave them ten again coins and said to them do 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,200 business with this until I come back. 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,800 Do business, are you hearing me? So the the Father, when he 40 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,200 deposited in us his Spirit he expects us to do some business. 41 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,700 Unfortunately, you know many times we hear the gospel in the 42 00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:39,600 lens of I've received eternal life so when I'm going to go 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,100 somewhere when I die. But the Lord's actually saying 44 00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:47,100 you know, I'm depositing something in you and I want you 45 00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,700 to do something with it while you're there. 46 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,300 Cause then once you're absent from the body and be present 47 00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,100 with me, you're going to give an account for it. 48 00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:59,800 Now that's not that that that deposit is not what makes you go 49 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,100 to heaven because in the context that you know here, Lord I'm 50 00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:06,500 going to have to give a report for what I did while I was on 51 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,600 the earth, serving you and does that, let me in know, you're in 52 00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:12,500 the point, is that what did you do? 53 00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:16,800 Once you became a child of God, and there is that great ther, is 54 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,600 that excuse me, judgment seat of Christ. 55 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,100 Moment that we're going to have with him one-on-one where he's 56 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,600 going to say, okay? Let's talk about what you did 57 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,900 with what I gave you while you were in the Earth. 58 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:32,700 How did you function with it? How did you do business with it? 59 00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:37,900 How did you interact in society? Okay, Jesus, understood that 60 00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:41,000 when he came to Earth, he was in business. 61 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,500 Okay, in business, it was Jesus ran a business. 62 00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:50,000 He ran a business, okay? He was in a business and it says 63 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,100 that this way in Luke, 2:49 the Amplified, classic says that 64 00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:58,600 this way, and he said that them, how is it that you had to look 65 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,600 for me? Did you not see and know how it 66 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,400 was necessary as a duty for me to be in my father's house and 67 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,500 occupied about my father's business. 68 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,200 Now obviously Jesus I was about 12 13 years old. 69 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,300 When he makes this statement, he already knows the business that 70 00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:25,100 he is to conduct while in the planet at that young of an age 71 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,800 and when his family thought, they were his mom mother and 72 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,300 father thought they were with them had left with them, they 73 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:34,800 get three days in only to find out. 74 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800 He's not among us, and we need to go back and backtrack and 75 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,900 find him, and it took him a few days when they got back to town, 76 00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:42,600 even find him. And there he is. 77 00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:48,200 In the synagogue teaching. The scripture. 78 00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:55,100 To the scribes and they are blown away at his wisdom. 79 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,100 But he looks to his parents and says, did you not see and know 80 00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:05,200 that it is necessary as a what as a duty for me to be in my 81 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,500 father's house and occupied about my father's business? 82 00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:11,200 Are we about our father's business? 83 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,800 I said, are we about our father's business? 84 00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:19,000 Well, we'll find out Matthew. 16:21 the 23, the reason why 85 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,400 we're going Here is because you've got to understand 86 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,400 something. We are in a family business but 87 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,000 you got to admit, there's a difference between family. 88 00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:34,700 And family business. There's a natural family and 89 00:05:34,708 --> 00:05:39,800 then there's family business. And we've got to Define these 90 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,700 roles. Because in your workplace, you 91 00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:49,500 may work with natural family members or you may be around 92 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:53,800 those who have natural family members that work in the same 93 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400 environment. Are you hearing me? 94 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:01,000 And then you need to know how to conduct yourself so that you can 95 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,800 always be about business and not be not be hindered because you 96 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,200 allow a natural family. Lie to hinder you. 97 00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:17,600 Now, maybe your natural family doesn't work with you, but your 98 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000 natural family can pull on you from work. 99 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,300 Now, I'm not telling you to be a workaholic nor my telling you to 100 00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:31,600 ignore your natural family. I'm telling you to learn to 101 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,600 define the difference between it. 102 00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:38,400 Because if you do not learn how to define the difference between 103 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,700 it and keep your emotional state where Should be then it will 104 00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:49,300 affect you in your leadership ability at work. 105 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,600 Now, just for us to set the ground rules, okay? 106 00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:05,900 What do you do for a living? Okay, if you just thought in 107 00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,600 your mind, the title of your job, then you don't know who you 108 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,000 are. That is not what you do for a 109 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,800 living. The Bible tells us that we are 110 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,900 to live by faith. So what do you do for a living? 111 00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,000 I live by faith. What do you do for a living? 112 00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:27,100 I live by faith. What do I mean? 113 00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,300 What's your job? Oh, what's my job? 114 00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:36,300 Oh, that's totally different. At my job, my title is, but I 115 00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:41,500 don't identify with my title. The title identify with is in 116 00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:45,700 Christ, right? And I live by faith because if 117 00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:53,500 that's the case, if that's the case, then I will a job will 118 00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:58,700 never stress me to the point. that I will compromise my 119 00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:09,100 principles in order to keep it nor will the current income I 120 00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:14,000 receive from it caused me so much stress that if my king told 121 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,700 me to depart and go somewhere else without telling me where 122 00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:22,400 I'm going to land first, I can still put in my two weeks notice 123 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,600 by faith. Are you hearing me? 124 00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:31,600 Because when you know, the family business, Right then you 125 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,200 won't allow natural family to stop things. 126 00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:41,000 I have seen many natural families fall apart because the 127 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,400 natural family decided to take a promotion somewhere in another 128 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,400 Community because they naturally came together. 129 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,000 Like this is better for our family. 130 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,100 This is more money for us. This allows us to go here and do 131 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,600 that and never take into consideration. 132 00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:03,900 Does the father want it? And where is he planting you 133 00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:06,800 when you get there. Well, we'll find a church when 134 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,200 we get there because we treat church as if it's optional to 135 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,200 job yet church is the most important thing in our lives 136 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,400 because we are the body of Christ of which he is the head 137 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000 of the body and he's the head of the church. 138 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,300 So we should be more concerned about where we going to church 139 00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:32,800 than where we getting a job. Because many promotions have 140 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:39,500 left people bankrupt their marriages destroyed with loss. 141 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,900 I look just say men. Anyway, so again, our Contour 142 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:50,600 are, you know, Foundation to minister this message is that 143 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,100 first? You have to remember that I live 144 00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:58,700 by faith. That I'm in Christ, I have a 145 00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:03,100 place of employment that God allows me to demonstrate the 146 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:10,400 kingdom. Do we have that? 147 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,900 Okay, with that being said, Jesus did not allow natural 148 00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:21,100 relationships to hinder his business because even at work, 149 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:24,800 you can develop natural relationships with people that 150 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:32,300 if you do not maintain your role of Duty, you will compromise. 151 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,900 Just say, Amen. Anyway, come on, I'm not even 152 00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:42,700 hardly and I need y'all to help support a little bit easier. 153 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,500 Don't make me feel like I'm plowing, right? 154 00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,800 You know, they're obviously I've been in outside of the church 155 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,700 before and, you know, there's a system specially from where, you 156 00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:59,200 know, in the South and it's just call it the South, but I think 157 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,700 it's probably everywhere, we just happened to call it. 158 00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:05,800 The good old boy system and that is, basically you scratch my 159 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,300 back, I'll scratch yours. We're kind of looking after each 160 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:11,000 other, but most of the time that means if you don't do something, 161 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000 right? I'm not going to say anything 162 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,800 about will do some, right? I'm not gonna say anything or we 163 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,400 gonna let each other slide? So in essence, we let the 164 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,000 natural relationship stop us from Duty. 165 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,900 We allow the emotions of wanting to be accepted in are employed 166 00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:35,300 group. Instead of honor the vision, Of 167 00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:38,200 the place that we have been entrusted. 168 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,200 I think the next leadership, when I'll talk about that a 169 00:11:41,208 --> 00:11:44,600 little bit more, okay? Because then we'll find out if 170 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:50,100 you're just hired. Because when you realize I've 171 00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:55,100 been placed by God for a season. They could be a very long 172 00:11:55,100 --> 00:12:00,100 season, could be till you retire season so to speak, right? 173 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:04,800 It could be, but the point is you're in a season and you are 174 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,700 to make influence for the king and you can't do it. 175 00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:11,700 If the principles of the Kingdom, the father's business 176 00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:16,100 is being compromised because you want the natural relationships 177 00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:20,100 with your co-workers or family members for that matter, to 178 00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:22,500 dictate, how you respond to them. 179 00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,500 And if you're going to rise if you want God to bring promotion 180 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,700 to your life, then you're going to have to do it the father's 181 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,700 business. Way, you got to understand, 182 00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:38,400 there's Duty. So we see here, Matthew 16:21 to 183 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,100 23. Jesus said, look, I'm about my 184 00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,500 father's business, he never came off of that, but he developed 185 00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:48,300 some very tight relationships in his pursuit of doing God's will. 186 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,000 In fact, one of those is Heap and picked 12 people to travel 187 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,800 with him hand-picked. Mmm. 188 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,500 And these 12 plus others travel with him, there were women, who 189 00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:03,700 traveled with him as well. There were people that went 190 00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:08,200 along in each place, he did, he develop some very close 191 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,300 relationship and of the 12. There were three in particularly 192 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,000 that he did more with than the rest, right? 193 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:21,900 And those three were Peter, James and John, right? 194 00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:24,100 They were very tight. Well, here we are. 195 00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:27,600 Jesus is talking to all of his disciples in the 16th chapter 196 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,700 and he's beginning to let them in on a little more of his 197 00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:35,100 purpose, the business that he's about and he says, who do people 198 00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:37,700 say that I am, you know, and they give them the world's 199 00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:40,100 response and the religious response and he said, but who do 200 00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:43,600 you say that I am Peter jumps up and says what you're the Christ, 201 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,400 the son of the Living God what he do. 202 00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:49,600 That's right. God, had flesh and Blood, you 203 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,200 would have not gotten it like that. 204 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,300 It is revealed to you, by the spirit, my father's rebuild it. 205 00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:59,500 Well, well, done, Peter, right. Then he said now call upon the 206 00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:02,700 Revelation that I am the Christ, I'm going to build my church. 207 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,500 He says, and then he goes on and says, and I'm gonna give you the 208 00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,800 keys to the kingdom. Whatever you bind on Earth, 209 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,700 shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth. 210 00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:13,000 Going up, be loosed in heaven and then he goes on and said now 211 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,100 listen, I'm gonna die. Right. 212 00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,100 But on the third day going to be raised up. 213 00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:20,500 But when Peter heard he was going to die. 214 00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:23,500 What did Peter do? Peter got into the natural 215 00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:27,400 relationship and he began to say, not going to happen. 216 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,600 So he Braves takes Jesus pulls him over to the side because we 217 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,700 type and he needs to know how much he loves him and how much 218 00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:41,900 he defends him and how much he is there to support him and he 219 00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:45,900 says listen may it never be. Right. 220 00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:48,000 He says, right here, in verse 20. 221 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,100 And from that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he 222 00:14:50,108 --> 00:14:52,800 must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and 223 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,200 chief priests be killed and be raised up on the third day. 224 00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:59,200 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, God 225 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,000 forbid. It Lord, this shall never happen 226 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,500 to you, you're not gonna die. What's not gonna happen, but 227 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:08,100 what does Jesus say? But Jesus said to Peter, get 228 00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:12,500 behind me. Satan, you are a stumbling block 229 00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:16,700 to me. for you are not setting your mind on God's interests but 230 00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:24,100 man's you're setting your mind. You're setting your mind not on 231 00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:28,800 God's interest but man's the minute you let your mind set on 232 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,100 a man's interest and when I say man, I'm not talking, just 233 00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:36,000 another man, your I'm not just saying you, I'm saying it could 234 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,600 be another person husband's, it could be your wives wives, it 235 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,600 could be your husband's. One of the most challenging 236 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,400 things for a spouse is when another spouse is having 237 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,700 conflict, and they basically won't resolve it before they go 238 00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:58,600 to work. Or while they're at work, they 239 00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:04,000 call with conflict. Not recognizing they have a 240 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,800 duty. And why do I want to put my 241 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:16,100 spouse and emotional stress? About how I'm feeling or how 242 00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:21,600 that what we talked about. Because you failed to realize 243 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,800 that there's a duty they have to represent the kingdom. 244 00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:30,900 Okay. The minute we allow our natural 245 00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:34,900 relationship to be able to bleed over when someone is on 246 00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:40,500 assignment. Again, it's not the title, you 247 00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,800 are, it's the assignment you have. 248 00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:47,300 Right. Sydney. 249 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,200 Stand up Sydney. You're the only Sydney I know. 250 00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:56,800 Sydney, is the assistant coach for the Flagler women's 251 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,600 basketball. Amen. 252 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,200 Now she has an assignment in this school, do they pay you? 253 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,599 They do pay her. Now she could say this is my 254 00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:11,900 career, right? The her title is assistant 255 00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,000 coach, you know, maybe there's a bigger title with that, I'm not 256 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,500 sure, but let's just keep it at that. 257 00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:18,300 Okay, we're I'm good assistant coach, right? 258 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,900 So here she has title, she has access to place but her 259 00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:28,800 assignment Is to show these women that come from all over 260 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:35,600 the country, the kingdom. And you're doing a really good 261 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,200 job of that. Amen. 262 00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:41,100 Right. Amen. 263 00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:47,300 So she then, although she has to improve her natural skills and 264 00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:50,700 work with a coach specifically her. 265 00:17:50,700 --> 00:17:56,900 Number one assignment is to reflect the king to reflect the 266 00:17:56,900 --> 00:18:01,300 king to the point. That if the university catches 267 00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:08,200 wind, Of her godliness. And all of a sudden they begin 268 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,300 to say you can't live Godly like this on the campus. 269 00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:14,500 Then she's going to be in a place. 270 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,200 Now, I know where she's going to go. 271 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,600 She going to go. This is just who I am. 272 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,000 I can't deny me, right. Amen. 273 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000 But God's opening doors of Flagler right now. 274 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,900 I'm telling his open doors wide. Open is coming more and more. 275 00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:30,500 Amen. So here we want to pray for her. 276 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,000 Pray for what she's doing. My point is is that she's not an 277 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,700 assistant coach. She's a Believer who lives by 278 00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:42,900 faith represents the kingdom. That is in a title position 279 00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:47,800 called assistant coach where she influences for the kingdom of 280 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,700 God. Women, God brings women from 281 00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,300 around the world, you can be seated. 282 00:18:53,300 --> 00:19:00,100 Thank you, amen. Which means then if coach Mo, 283 00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:03,500 who's the head coach tries to get her to, which he would not, 284 00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,100 because he's a Believer to. But if he tried to Get her to 285 00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:13,000 compromise her standard of living for something natural. 286 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,900 Like we're going to get this recruit, but we're going to do 287 00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:19,700 this. But that violates the rules. 288 00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:25,400 Right. Well, I can't do that because I 289 00:19:25,408 --> 00:19:28,300 can't let my natural relationship with you. 290 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,100 Interrupt my duty to please my father. 291 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,600 Are you hearing me, okay? Jesus would not let natural 292 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,600 relationship. Stop him from his purpose. 293 00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:46,400 Period. Let's go on Matthew 12 verses 46 294 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,800 to 50. It says this while he was still 295 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,700 speaking to the crowds his mother and his brothers were 296 00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:55,100 standing outside seeking to speak to him. 297 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,500 Someone said to him, behold your mother and your brothers are 298 00:19:59,508 --> 00:20:02,400 standing outside seeking to speak with you but Jesus 299 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,100 answered the one who was telling him and said, who is my mother? 300 00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:10,100 And who are my brothers? What did Jesus develop Amnesia? 301 00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:15,700 Right was Jesus crazy. His mama probably thought he was 302 00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:20,500 crazy when he made the statement may be right, you know, because 303 00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:21,900 I could hear a lot of Mama's right now. 304 00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:28,100 If your child says who my mama boy, right? 305 00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:30,700 You've heard me say before, when we read these Pastor scriptures, 306 00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:33,400 The Mamas are thinking I brought you into this world. 307 00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,400 See, finish it for me. I get it right. 308 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:44,500 That's how much I love them. I get it a mother's love, but 309 00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:47,600 Jesus goes on and stretching out his hand towards his disciples. 310 00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:52,800 His what? And he said, behold, My mother 311 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:58,100 and my brothers then he defines who his family is. 312 00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:03,200 For whoever does the will of my father, who is in heaven. 313 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:09,900 He is my brother and sister and mother in the first account. 314 00:21:09,900 --> 00:21:14,200 Matthew 16, we see Jesus will not let natural relationships. 315 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,300 He has would someone who's not of a bloodline that he is of 316 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,600 hinder him from a accomplishing, the role or assignment, God has 317 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:32,400 for his life here now, is his mama This is family name. 318 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,000 This is the one who gave birth to him, the one who fed him as a 319 00:21:38,008 --> 00:21:40,700 child who nursed him on her own breast. 320 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:47,500 The one who changed his diapers, The one who cared for him and 321 00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:53,500 yet when this conversation comes about your your natural family 322 00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:58,300 wants your attention, he did not come off the platform for them. 323 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:06,500 You know, in our society we say, family is everything. in fact, a 324 00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:13,700 lot of places even in pulpits, a Families First, Now, I'm not 325 00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:17,900 telling you to not honor your husband wife relationship 326 00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:20,600 children. I'm not saying, I'm just saying 327 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,100 according to scripture. You cannot allow that natural 328 00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:30,800 Dynamic to hinder you from your Godly call. 329 00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:38,300 Nor should we on the other side of in natural family? 330 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:44,400 Tried to hinder. Someone, who is going after the 331 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,800 call of God, for their life, I'm going to pick on Randy clay and 332 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,100 Joshua clay for a moment. John Randy clay raised his boys. 333 00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:56,300 Both of them. Okay, to follow God, he did that 334 00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:59,800 and then he spoke to them. And said if you ever think that 335 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,300 your call dammit Ministry or do something with the Lord he goes, 336 00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:06,400 I'll under right, I'll do it because he always at the time 337 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,200 saw himself as a businessman only. 338 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,600 Now in the back of Mind. It was obvious that Randy had a 339 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,200 desire that they would follow him in the family business, 340 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,200 okay. He's a graphic artist he had a 341 00:23:22,208 --> 00:23:26,100 sign company still does today and in Oklahoma and so as a 342 00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:29,400 result of that, you know, his boys work with him, trained him, 343 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,400 his oldest son. Again, following a little bit of 344 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,000 scripture, you notice in my first board, going to get a 345 00:23:35,008 --> 00:23:37,200 double portion, kind of stuff. I mean, it's the one that's 346 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,100 gonna take the family business, taught him, all the stuff 347 00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:41,700 Joshua. Died when I first met him. 348 00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:44,200 How are you 12? 13, 13. 349 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,100 He was 13. He's the one who introduced me 350 00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:50,200 to graphic design the first place on a platform called 351 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,000 coreldraw. And so we would function in this 352 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,800 and we would develop our own logos. 353 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,300 In the youth ministry. I had a great time in that 354 00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:01,400 particular environment, we had a great time together, right? 355 00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,800 And so we work these things. Well, you understand, the only 356 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,600 reason he knows ass because his father works in the environment 357 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,600 for the family business. Well, Joshua and I had developed 358 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,100 Relationship. God, ultimately calls me here to 359 00:24:13,100 --> 00:24:16,800 Anchor, Faith Church to start this church and he had yet to 360 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:22,700 graduate well upon him coming into his senior year, you know, 361 00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:24,300 where he was the top of his class. 362 00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:29,200 It's true. There's also the bottom of its 363 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,400 class. He was the best student more 364 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,100 student at the same time because when you're homeschooled, so 365 00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:45,300 what that looks like, but he's going to graduate. and he tells 366 00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:50,600 his father, I want to move to Florida and help Pastor Earle 367 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:56,500 with the church. This was not Randy, Clays plan. 368 00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:04,700 This was not the father's business that he had perceived. 369 00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:07,100 And so I remember having a conversation with him on the 370 00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:09,800 phone, you know? He thinks he wants to come down 371 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,300 there. He doesn't even have a plan. 372 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,700 I'll never forget that. He didn't have a plan, you know, 373 00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:17,800 he needs to put. So basically, he negotiated 374 00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:21,500 because he's a businessman. He says this, what you're going 375 00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:24,000 to do, you're going to have to give me a plan. 376 00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:28,100 I want you to submit me plan. And in a year, we'll talk about 377 00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:33,600 it. Right, well Joshua for the year. 378 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,300 Did the work work with him? All kinds of stuff happened. 379 00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:41,400 Honestly, the Assumption was with Randall at the time was 380 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,500 that, he'll it's a passing thing with pasta, or he'll get it. 381 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:48,300 I'm Pastor a won't matter, right? 382 00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:50,600 He's just was close to him, he misses him. 383 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,900 He was just a little boy and his youth pastor, but, you know, I 384 00:25:54,908 --> 00:25:57,200 he's in the real world now. I get him a little bit more 385 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,700 money. We'll do a little more thing. 386 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,900 Thing, you know, give me some more Prestige family business. 387 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,100 he turned how old were you then 19 is that when this happened 388 00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:09,500 tonight 18 when did it first conversation have more you 17 389 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,000 17. So, did you move here? 390 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000 And when you're 18? Okay, so 17, he had his year and 391 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,400 then 18 comes and he says, I want to move. 392 00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:22,700 Randy is shocked. So he calls me said he goes. 393 00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:24,800 I can't believe it man down here and still wants to come. 394 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,700 You know? I said, listen, what's the worst 395 00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:30,600 can happen? I said you're sending him to me 396 00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:36,800 number one, number two, if he fails, I will pack him up and 397 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,700 send him on. This is no problem, we'll do it. 398 00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:49,800 So The father's bit and I told him, I said, have you not 399 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,000 trained your son to hear God? And if he's saying, he's heard 400 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,300 the Lord, why all the sudden now, you're the only one who can 401 00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:03,000 hear for him? I caution you parents, you're 402 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,600 raising your children are going to get 16. 17, 18 years old. 403 00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:10,200 They may not have the plan. You think they should have. 404 00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:14,500 It's amazing. How many parents push their 405 00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:17,200 children into Direction all along bringing them the church 406 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:23,400 and tell them to follow God. Only when they decide I've heard 407 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,700 God and want to do something that you're like, that can't be 408 00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:29,200 God. Because how are you going to be 409 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,600 successful? Well, how can you not be 410 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,500 successful if you're following God? 411 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,900 I've known I've known way too many teenagers that have talked 412 00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:49,500 to me about certain things in their heart only to graduate and 413 00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:53,200 be pushed to college and their ship wrecked lives. 414 00:27:53,200 --> 00:28:00,100 Now, their degreed Shipwrecked people was it worth it. 415 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,000 Was it worth it? So Paris, again, you're going to 416 00:28:06,008 --> 00:28:08,000 have, you're raising your children in church and then you 417 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,500 want to wonder when they turn 18, if they act like they've 418 00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:12,700 heard something from God, that all of a sudden, you you're 419 00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:18,400 going to question that Open the door for it again. 420 00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:21,700 If they fail, you're already there to pick them up. 421 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,900 Anyway, I would much rather them. 422 00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:28,000 Fail trying to hear God's voice. Then fell following your voice 423 00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:31,300 because if they fell following your voice, they may never hear 424 00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:35,500 God's voice again. Because you basically said all 425 00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:38,500 that I've trained you up to this point was a lie because I won't 426 00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:41,200 trust you to hear God for yourself. 427 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:49,200 Same anyway, well but Randall did he said, let's do it. 428 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,300 Come to find out. Josh was right? 429 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,800 I said he was right. He heard God. 430 00:28:57,100 --> 00:29:01,900 Betty heard God first because later on Randy and Melanie heard 431 00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:05,600 God and they're in a state, they never thought they would be in 432 00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:08,900 ever in their wildest imagination. 433 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,400 Did they think they would relocate? 434 00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:16,400 But the father had a Better Business for him. 435 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,600 He didn't have to leave the business that he had or or sell 436 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,800 it or anything though. He talks to the Lord about that. 437 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,300 At the end of the day, he can still maintaining natural 438 00:29:24,300 --> 00:29:28,100 business, but the Lord had already given him an answer long 439 00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,900 before. And he said, if you'll take care 440 00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:33,800 of my business, I'll take care of yours. 441 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,600 Hallelujah. Now, let me say this, this 442 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,500 happens on both sides, both in churches and in natural 443 00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:46,700 business. The failure that most people 444 00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:50,700 make is they assume their children have to succeed them. 445 00:29:54,500 --> 00:29:56,700 And he won't even look at another option. 446 00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:03,700 So as a result you build the whole business around a family 447 00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:06,500 name and not around the will of the father. 448 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,500 Because he may actually want the business, your building be given 449 00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:18,000 to someone else's name. All right. 450 00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:23,200 Praise the lord. We have to be able to listen 451 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,600 some things may not go naturally through generation. 452 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,900 Now, I'm not saying that it can't, because it can, there is 453 00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:34,800 an anointing on a family name. I have no problem with that, we 454 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,100 are Kings and, you know, King succeed to Natural Kings. 455 00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:41,300 I don't have a problem with that. 456 00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:43,800 But again, it's about the father's will. 457 00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:48,000 This is why I've never put pressure on my children about 458 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,100 Ministry. Nor do I ever put pressure that 459 00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:54,600 they'll take anchor Faith Church should the Lord tarry and I go 460 00:30:54,600 --> 00:31:01,000 on It doesn't guarantee that the person that runs this location 461 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,700 has to have my last name. Or be related to me. 462 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,600 They'll be related to me through doing the will of the father. 463 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:17,000 Because who is my brother and sister and mother and son, and 464 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,200 daughter is the one who does the will of my father. 465 00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,800 And when you understand that, then no longer will you get in 466 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:31,100 competition with one another? There's no competition. 467 00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:33,300 Now, in the church nor will it be at work? 468 00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,800 Cause at the end of the day, you don't want to be in any position 469 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,500 outside of the will of God for your life anyway and if you're 470 00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,500 doing the will of God for your life, he's going to promote you 471 00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:44,800 into the places of influence that he desires for you anyway. 472 00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:48,700 So you get to be free and Excel and we get to rejoice in anyone 473 00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:52,500 in any position. They're in, amen. 474 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,000 Praise the Lord. So, for me every time when God 475 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,300 allows me to travel and I allow this Pulpit to have someone else 476 00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:05,600 minister in, I get excited about the the plethora of individuals 477 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,100 that I can call on to preach Sunday. 478 00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:10,500 Pastor Marcus is going to be minister in here in the house 479 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,700 and I'm excited about that. Because once again, here's a 480 00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:17,300 gift, you know, the Lord spoke to me says you need to have 481 00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:20,200 Pastor Marcus Minister done prior to that. 482 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,400 I said who's going to be on worship who can lead? 483 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,500 So that I have you Minister. I don't want you doing both. at 484 00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:32,500 all, just focus on the message, praise the Lord, I'm thankful 485 00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:35,300 that when we can call people up, I thankful when we can put 486 00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:38,200 people in our anchor Faith Life placa, when we can put people, 487 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,100 you know, in our kingdom Institute, why it allows us 488 00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:46,500 releasing gifts because again, we're about the father's 489 00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:51,400 business, you don't have to have our last name, but now if you do 490 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,000 have our last name and doing something, we shouldn't devalue 491 00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,500 that cuz I can tell you there where they're at not based upon 492 00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:07,100 their name but upon their obedience Hallelujah. 493 00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:11,500 And let me just say this, I would be you. 494 00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:18,400 We would have some conversations if you treated someone who was 495 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,500 in the will of the father wrong, whether they have my last name 496 00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:25,800 in it or not. So, it's definitely going to 497 00:33:25,808 --> 00:33:29,300 happen if they do. And it's not more. 498 00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:36,600 But I can tell you this from a church perspective. the people 499 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:44,200 with my last name, get treated unfairly It happens now, not so 500 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,200 much. Here I can tell you that 501 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,600 although it has happened here, that is a true statement. 502 00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:51,300 And again, people are just growing. 503 00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:54,100 I get it. People have their own issues, we 504 00:33:54,100 --> 00:33:55,600 get it. That's why I train anyone. 505 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,700 My last that just know it's coming. 506 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,200 I've told Brittany who married into the family. 507 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,100 I said, listen, just go get my last name. 508 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,400 They're going to come and talk to you about the ministry. 509 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,199 And they've done it. They try to what's going on. 510 00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,500 I'm like, you're not Pastor. Don't let don't let them put you 511 00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:14,400 in that corner. You just tell him. 512 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,199 Point-blank. I don't have anything to do with 513 00:34:16,208 --> 00:34:18,000 that. You need to call Pastor Earle. 514 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,800 Don't do it. Don't let them put you in a 515 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,800 corner. Don't think that they can get 516 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,900 closer to me through. You don't do that. 517 00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:31,300 It's not, right? But again, was people doing they 518 00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:36,100 forgot the roles they're trying to use natural. 519 00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:44,400 In order to manipulate and get their own natural desires, same 520 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,800 in any way. We know this happens in natural 521 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,300 business, family-owned businesses can have this 522 00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:55,300 Challenge and employees feel like, you know, well the, you 523 00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,500 know, the children can't do anything wrong. 524 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,800 Well if you don't openly if you don't correct them like you 525 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,400 would anybody else then you can hinder the business and you're 526 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:12,900 not leading properly. Because the principal is, I am 527 00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:16,200 always in right relationship with the will of the father. 528 00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:20,300 And then, all the other relationships come out of that. 529 00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:24,000 Can you y'all get what I'm saying? 530 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,800 All right, we going to see this, I'll give it to you, I'm gonna 531 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,400 break it down bullet points now. Hallelujah, Genesis 37 1 3 2. 532 00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:36,600 Okay, I wrote a whole book about this guy says now Jacob lived in 533 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,300 the land where his father had sojourned in the land of Canaan. 534 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,600 And these are the records of the generations of Jacob. 535 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:49,800 Joseph would 17 generations of Jacob Joseph, when 17 years of 536 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,100 age was pasturing. The flock with his brothers 537 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,700 while he was still a youth along with the Sun. 538 00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:57,900 The sun's of this woman and the sons of this woman, his father's 539 00:35:57,900 --> 00:35:59,700 wives. You know again he had four wives 540 00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:05,700 Joseph brought back a what bad report about them to their 541 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,400 father. Now the points I'm about, Makar 542 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,300 not in this in the book, Kyle's crows and constellation at all. 543 00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:19,800 Once again, here is context of scripture that I never pulled 544 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,300 out. And release within the book. 545 00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:28,800 A dreamers reward. All right, so you won't find it 546 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,100 in that book because again, this is what I love about scripture 547 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,200 is that there's still more to mind. 548 00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:37,900 I'm glad every time I read Genesis 37, I don't go, I wrote 549 00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:40,000 a book on, I know all there is to know about it. 550 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:44,100 I'm always looking always listening, always hearing. 551 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,400 And as Pastor Vanessa, when she ministered the last time I've 552 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,900 remained teachable Alright, so here's some things, we can learn 553 00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:55,300 because when we're defining role, when we're about our 554 00:36:55,300 --> 00:37:00,000 father's business, not natural, but God, the Father, then it 555 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,200 will allow us to Define roles and keep a separation between 556 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:09,800 natural family. And natural relationships with 557 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:15,500 Duty. The business of God. 558 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,400 Number one, Joseph did not let the duties of his assignment. 559 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,000 Be confused with the relationship he had with his 560 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:29,400 brothers. Are you hearing me Jeff? 561 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,700 I'm just going to from this passage of scripture. 562 00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:33,900 We're going to be able to make quite a few points here. 563 00:37:34,300 --> 00:37:37,000 Joseph, did not let the duties of his assignment. 564 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,200 Be confused with his relationship with his brothers 565 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,500 in essence. He did not go to the father as a 566 00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:50,500 tattletale. Cause this was not about a 567 00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:53,200 little brother tattling on his brothers. 568 00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:57,300 That's natural relationship. No, he came and spoke business. 569 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:05,000 Now when it comes to the flock, In essence these workers. 570 00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:09,300 They just happen to be my brothers are not doing it right. 571 00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:15,500 Nothing personal. But when it comes to business 572 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,700 and our family business is that we Shepherds sheep, we're in the 573 00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:24,100 livestock and at the end of the day is to not about promotion 574 00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,600 for me this is not about me trying to look better. 575 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:32,100 This is about business. So, Joseph did not let my older 576 00:38:32,100 --> 00:38:35,600 brothers, who own a natural would have loved for them. 577 00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:42,500 To like him. We already know there's conflict 578 00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,700 because he'll have a dream and talk about it and they will hate 579 00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:49,600 him. And yet he does not allow their 580 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,200 hatred for him to compromise his principles. 581 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,700 Nor we he compromised to try to win their favor, nor does he do 582 00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:12,800 it to cover up their wrongdoing? Because Duty To his King to his 583 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,800 God. Is the number one thing he has 584 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:23,200 to address his character before his God, which means, then this 585 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,800 natural relationship. I'm not going to compromise. 586 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,200 And if we don't watch out when we get in our places of 587 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,700 business, we're going to allow the natural relationships to cut 588 00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:37,700 be compromised in our character towards God because we want them 589 00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:44,000 to like us more than we want God's approval. now, if you get 590 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,900 God's approval, everybody at work, and hate you, And you'll 591 00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:55,800 still go to work with a smile. A skip in your step in essence, 592 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,900 they will talk about you so bad and they'll say this person is 593 00:39:58,900 --> 00:40:02,300 so dumb they don't even know. We hate them so much but you'll 594 00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:06,300 be so wise that you know they hate you but you just don't let 595 00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:12,000 them in your mind and affect your decision-making in your 596 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,900 emotions because you've ride, you have risen above that 597 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,100 because you're seated somewhere in Heavenly places. 598 00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:23,400 See, you're already promoted without a title when you do 599 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:28,200 that. Joseph understood the assignment 600 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,800 of his father was more important that being liked by his 601 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,000 brothers. The brothers brought their 602 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,900 complaints home to Joseph because they failed to identify 603 00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:43,000 the roles of Shepherds and brothers. 604 00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:47,500 So in that sense, they were mad at him. 605 00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:52,700 Not because he was personally attacking them as a brother but 606 00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:57,600 because he was evaluating their performance as a shepherd. 607 00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:05,900 Are you hearing me? I'm Pastor Earle Hill here, but 608 00:41:05,900 --> 00:41:09,300 when I go to my home address, I'm my wife's husband. 609 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:20,600 Those are two different roles. There are two different roles 610 00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:25,200 and and Pastor. Marcy has to watch that line. 611 00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:29,600 Because when we're here in the church, she cannot talk to me 612 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:36,100 like her husband. I mean, she has access to me 613 00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:39,400 like nobody else. And at home, she can say it 614 00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:46,700 whatever. But in front of the staff, she 615 00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:56,800 can't cross over to the wife. Now, Pastor Marcy doesn't do 616 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,700 something right here at the ministry and I corrected that 617 00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:05,100 shouldn't come home in the bed. Say him in any way. 618 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,400 I can't believe you said we're talking about your role. 619 00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:16,700 I want talking about you being a wife, I was talking about the 620 00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:23,800 roll Vienna and vice versa. If she, if there's something I 621 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,400 said I was going to do as a pastor in a particular 622 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,400 assignment, and I've not accomplish it and she calls it 623 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,800 out. I can't go home and say, I can't 624 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:37,100 believe you said that. Because you're not calling me 625 00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:41,000 out as a husband, she's calling me out based upon the role. 626 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,400 So when you have a family business, you got to understand 627 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,300 this Because business can't show up at the house. 628 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,000 And until you understand the different roles as better for 629 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000 you, if you're struggling to call it, I'll say, hold on a 630 00:43:00,008 --> 00:43:03,400 second. I'm going to put on my, you 631 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,500 know, owner hat. Now, I'm going to put on my 632 00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:07,300 clothes. I'm not your husband right now. 633 00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:16,800 Are you hearing me? Joseph, never tried to restore 634 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,200 but not let me hold, but let me go, let me, let me say this. 635 00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:24,000 Did I put it on here? Yeah, let me say this point 636 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,400 first. It is necessary at times to 637 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,200 remind your natural family of the hats you are wearing. 638 00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:39,900 Just as much it is for you to remind sometimes your co-workers 639 00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:45,500 of hats you're wearing. Because I'm not your buddy at 640 00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:47,100 work. I'm a co-worker. 641 00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:50,200 Now we go out play ball together. 642 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,200 You know we may do certain things but when we're here on 643 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,800 the job, that's a different. It's different. 644 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,900 Because again if you want to actually be a leader of 645 00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:02,200 influence and show the Kingdom at the workplace, then you got 646 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,600 to understand the roles you're in. 647 00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:06,900 But yeah, we're just trying to add like we can be friends 648 00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:10,700 everywhere. Our family everywhere yet. 649 00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:14,300 Jesus knew this doesn't function if you're going to do the 650 00:44:14,300 --> 00:44:17,700 assignment of your heavenly father you can't you know mess 651 00:44:17,700 --> 00:44:21,300 that up and Joseph even knew that there's like this, there's 652 00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:23,700 a difference between brother and Busby and Shepherds. 653 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,800 At the end of the day. Now, we can go, we can go play 654 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,300 ball at the family reunions and have no issue here because we're 655 00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:36,100 not talking about our role at work. 656 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,300 But that doesn't mean when we get back to work, the assignment 657 00:44:39,300 --> 00:44:41,400 I have for you this dual Tuesday, I'm gonna give you a 658 00:44:41,408 --> 00:44:45,900 pass because you're my relative. Or you're my buddy calls we did. 659 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:54,900 This is why people struggle. When you go from peer employment 660 00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:58,400 to now you become a manager and now you're having to tell them 661 00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:59,500 what to do. Come on, man. 662 00:44:59,500 --> 00:45:02,900 We used to hang out. You forgot your role. 663 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,600 I said you forgot your role, honey. 664 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:16,800 Can you take off? I'm working The reason why we 665 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,100 have vacation to these particular things. 666 00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:22,700 And you got our sound influencing people. 667 00:45:27,500 --> 00:45:29,800 Now if you want to be with me more than let's get an agreement 668 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,700 that we do a family business so that we can work together. 669 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,700 But you understand then we still have to remember our hats. 670 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,700 I remember one time my wife and I went on vacation I was 671 00:45:39,700 --> 00:45:41,900 pastoring here that's been years ago. 672 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,200 So when I say that what I'm about to say, the individual 673 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:50,200 does not attend church here at all. but there was a particular 674 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:56,700 female that used to be at the church and, you know, honestly 675 00:45:56,700 --> 00:46:03,100 they just wanted position they want to title, they wanted to be 676 00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:10,400 known They've had training. They definitely. 677 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,700 Should have known because they've been trained to know. 678 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,700 But selfish ambition mess you up. 679 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:25,300 And so this like recurring theme started taking place when I left 680 00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:33,200 To go either on vacation or on another Simon administering that 681 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:39,600 they would come in the church and begin to degrade the 682 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:48,700 Pastoral the pastors wives. My just treat them bad would 683 00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:52,000 yell at them. I mean, just crazy stuff 684 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,900 basically trying to assert their Authority. 685 00:46:56,300 --> 00:46:59,700 Like, I'm your equal. This is a crazy thing. 686 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,500 So I remember being on vacation and all of a sudden the 687 00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:10,500 individual did it again to Pastor, Angie And so she text my 688 00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:14,200 wife about it and my wife said, you know, yadda and I said are 689 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,200 you serious? So I said you're going to call. 690 00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:22,300 I'm what you call Pastor Angie right now and you tell her to 691 00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:26,700 call this lady and let them know that I want a meeting with them. 692 00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:29,300 The minute, I get back. And my wife is like, no, we're 693 00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:33,100 on vacation. I said Marcy, I have my pastors 694 00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:35,500 hat on. I will not take this hat off 695 00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:40,000 until you do this right now because I know I'm on vacation, 696 00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:42,600 she knows I'm on vacation and I want her to know that. 697 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,800 While I was on vacation, I found about it found out about it and 698 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,600 I'm going to deal with it when I get back. 699 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:52,800 I want her to know it. And I won't take it off to you 700 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,100 do it. So she did. 701 00:47:54,500 --> 00:47:57,000 And then she says it's done. That hat was gone and I don't 702 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,400 think about that. Have another 20 days. 703 00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:04,400 I showed back up and I said, where is it? 704 00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:06,900 So this person was so self-centered. 705 00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:11,400 The only available day that they can meet with me is on Wednesday 706 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:17,800 night before I preach I took it because I'm anointed, I don't 707 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:22,800 care. I took it, I took, I took the 708 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,800 meeting, I brought him both 11. Wazzup acting as a pastoral 709 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,200 pastor's wife at the time. They're not in that role today. 710 00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:33,600 Pastor Angie was there, you know, they came with her husband 711 00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:37,100 sat down, we had the conversation and the person 712 00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:39,300 literally led the conversation this way. 713 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,800 I'm sorry. You took it this way. 714 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,700 I looked at him, I said, let me tell you something. 715 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,500 There's only one person that teaches at anchor. 716 00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:52,500 Faith Church and doesn't serve anywhere. 717 00:48:52,500 --> 00:48:57,400 Else is called a traveling minister. because if you're 718 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:04,500 going to teach at this ministry, you're serving somewhere, You 719 00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:07,100 need to understand they were gone didn't come back. 720 00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:12,300 Because Jezebel can't live in this house. 721 00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:16,900 Jezebel can't live in this house. 722 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,200 Because I'm no King Ahab. I'll kick you to the curb. 723 00:49:22,700 --> 00:49:25,500 Just don't tell you right now. You're annoying guy Jack. 724 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,600 Right, the dogs are ready to lick you up. 725 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,600 Don't come into this house, she's not going to happen. 726 00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:39,600 Okay, because God doesn't like that Spirit, he hates that 727 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,600 Spirit, he hates that spirit in his church, he talked about that 728 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,600 spirit in his church in the Book of Revelation. 729 00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:47,400 So don't think you coming up in here. 730 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,800 It's just not going to work, right? 731 00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:53,700 But most the time, Pastor Angie and Pastor Marcy intimidate them 732 00:49:53,700 --> 00:49:55,600 half the time anyway. You know. 733 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,300 So because you know why? They're intimidating because I 734 00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:01,100 hear women say, you know, they intimidate me. 735 00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:05,200 Listen, you know what's intimidating about them is 736 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,700 because they're strong with Of God who are equally as strong 737 00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:13,400 submitted to their husbands. And that's what it is that you 738 00:50:13,408 --> 00:50:20,300 see that they can be that strong confident, but yet be entirely 739 00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:25,900 fully submitted to their spouse. That's what a woman of God looks 740 00:50:25,900 --> 00:50:29,300 like. But unfortunately, Jezebel's 741 00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:33,300 thinks I have to be the one and I'm really not submitted to my 742 00:50:33,300 --> 00:50:37,300 husband. I want all responsibility I want 743 00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:39,200 all authority with no responsibility. 744 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,000 All right, it's a little extra lesson there. 745 00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:52,000 My point is, is that, you know, we define the role and I'm like 746 00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:57,000 that hats on. It's nothing personal. 747 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,400 But I'm doing that role. Jesus never took off his crown. 748 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:08,500 You need to understand that. Jesus said, I call you friends, 749 00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:10,400 but that doesn't mean he ever took off his crown. 750 00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:13,800 Now, I've had that actually happened to me. 751 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,300 One time. I was in the guard, is it really 752 00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:18,800 this late? We worshipped a long time. 753 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,900 I can't tell you this story. Forget it. 754 00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:24,500 Okay. Jesus, Joseph, never tried to 755 00:51:24,500 --> 00:51:27,200 restore natural family relationships at the expense of 756 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,600 his assignment. What do I mean by that? 757 00:51:30,700 --> 00:51:35,500 He sold as a slave. He goes as a slave, then he's 758 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,000 accused of rape. He's thrown into prison, but 759 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,100 then he's released from prison, he's made as a prime minister to 760 00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:46,300 take care of Egypt, once he is on, in government position, and 761 00:51:46,300 --> 00:51:50,400 he is rocking as a government official, he never, once went to 762 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:56,300 pharaoh and said, hey, I got some brothers and a father that 763 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,800 they don't know where I'm at. And I sure would love to restore 764 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:08,700 our relationship. He never left Egypt to go get 765 00:52:08,700 --> 00:52:13,900 right with the natural family. Because he knew in the dream, 766 00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:18,700 the only way our natural family can be restored, is if they come 767 00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:26,500 to my assignment until you in the natural, acknowledge the 768 00:52:26,500 --> 00:52:29,900 assignment associated. With the individual, you're 769 00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:32,000 never really going to have a relationship. 770 00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:36,700 It's only going to be surface. And I know this from experience 771 00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:40,700 from my own natural family, I have surface relationship with 772 00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:45,200 my bloodline. Cuz until they acknowledge and 773 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,900 recognize the assignment on my life. 774 00:52:46,900 --> 00:52:52,800 We can't have a real relationship. so there are more 775 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,800 people in here than I am way closer to then natural family 776 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,400 name and I don't feel bad about that. 777 00:53:01,900 --> 00:53:05,700 Because the scripture tells me that my mama, my brothers, and 778 00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:11,700 my sister are those who do the will of the father and many of 779 00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:13,900 you get all upset because you want to be closer to your 780 00:53:13,900 --> 00:53:15,700 natural family yet. They don't want to be close to 781 00:53:15,700 --> 00:53:20,200 God. And you're, you're you're 782 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,000 bending over backwards and compromising well, you know, 783 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,600 come over Sunday. Well, I go to church Sunday. 784 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,900 Won't you come to church? Well no, it's not. 785 00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:31,800 You come here, I'll be waiting. When you go and take care of 786 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,800 your family. Oh I am take care of my family. 787 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,400 I go to church when you go and see get into family. 788 00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:41,100 We go actually. Start acting like family. 789 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,900 Amen. Okay, you're rolling. 790 00:53:49,900 --> 00:53:51,800 The kingdom. Family should not be confused 791 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,700 with your role in your natural family. 792 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,600 Your kingdom family takes precedence over your natural 793 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:02,000 family. I said your kingdom family takes 794 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,000 precedence. Now this is not popular 795 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,800 preaching but it's truth nonetheless. 796 00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:10,500 Now, that doesn't mean that you get rid of your name. 797 00:54:10,500 --> 00:54:12,400 If you're doing Kingdom family work. 798 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,600 You will be the best to your natural family. 799 00:54:15,900 --> 00:54:19,300 There's no doubt about that. But it but your natural family 800 00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:25,900 you won't abuse on both sides. You'll recognize. 801 00:54:28,300 --> 00:54:31,900 And then the anointing associated with your call or 802 00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:36,600 assignment will filter over into your children's so that when you 803 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:41,100 are together naturally it maximizes the relationship. 804 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,500 Honor the assignment of your natural family and do not abuse 805 00:54:48,500 --> 00:54:55,100 it we look we are not to look with more favor nor more Mercy 806 00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:58,300 to Natural family when it comes to the vision. 807 00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:06,000 Your purpose it's amazing a lot of times when you get in 808 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,000 business you end up giving more Mercy to your namesake. 809 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,900 Are you allow your overlooked and because of that then people 810 00:55:16,900 --> 00:55:18,800 get disgruntled in your organization. 811 00:55:22,300 --> 00:55:24,500 And you can do this naturally, you can have someone co-worker 812 00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:26,600 you work with y'all really close, you do things on the 813 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,200 weekend together, all this stuff and then you give more Mercy to 814 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:36,600 that person than someone else. that's not a just judge. 815 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:45,300 You're not judging justly. This is leadership stuff. 816 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:53,200 Do not allow your assignment. To the vision become compromised 817 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,100 with your personal relationships. 818 00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:04,300 Can't do it. Can't do it to cover up the 819 00:56:04,308 --> 00:56:07,100 mistake or failure of your natural family at the expense of 820 00:56:07,100 --> 00:56:09,000 Kingdom, Business will hinder the vision. 821 00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:17,100 To treat your natural family with contempt at home because 822 00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:21,600 you do not hold them accountable to the kingdom assignment. 823 00:56:21,700 --> 00:56:29,400 While at work is an abusive roles Are you hearing me? 824 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,400 There are conversations. You should never have with your 825 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,700 natural family. Concerning the Kingdom Business. 826 00:56:41,300 --> 00:56:44,100 Because their assignment role cannot handle the your 827 00:56:44,100 --> 00:56:48,500 information. You should not be worth talking 828 00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:51,800 to your co-workers about church stuff conflict. 829 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,300 You know, having a church man. You know, it was somebody 830 00:56:56,300 --> 00:56:57,800 searching. I found out that they were 831 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,600 cheating on their wives. Why would you tell a co-worker 832 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:12,600 that How stupid is that? Why would you talk about any? 833 00:57:12,700 --> 00:57:15,800 If you do business with someone at the church and it doesn't 834 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,800 necessarily pan out. Why would you talk to other 835 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:26,700 people about that? Why would all of a sudden you 836 00:57:26,708 --> 00:57:30,300 take a business matter and then begin to just talk to Common 837 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,000 People. Saints concerning someone else 838 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,600 in the church that didn't do something. 839 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,400 You know, I find people who don't keep the kingdom first and 840 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,700 that assignment first always want to demand respect out of 841 00:57:48,708 --> 00:57:51,600 people. But yet them said they 842 00:57:51,600 --> 00:58:03,700 themselves don't respect. Alleluia everybody, all right. 843 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,000 On the church side, there are many pastors children that have 844 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:18,900 left the ministry because of having conversations about the 845 00:58:18,900 --> 00:58:22,600 church at home that their children overheard and should 846 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,800 have never heard. But you know what? 847 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,900 I'll go further. Even congregational people's 848 00:58:28,900 --> 00:58:33,100 children have left the church because the congregation member 849 00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:35,500 went home and talked about things at the church, with their 850 00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:46,000 kids around. My wife and I did not talk about 851 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,300 anything concerning the church in front of our children. 852 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,900 Our children thought the church was most amazing thing on the 853 00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:54,900 face of Planet. Fact. 854 00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:56,900 My kids became shocked when they found out. 855 00:58:56,900 --> 00:59:01,600 That was not the case. That there were problems that 856 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,900 existed. I mean, my daughter for the 857 00:59:03,900 --> 00:59:06,700 longest time. I thought that every believer 858 00:59:07,500 --> 00:59:18,900 never did anything wrong. She did think that but 859 00:59:18,900 --> 00:59:23,900 unfortunately, that's not true. I like to say this, your spouse 860 00:59:23,900 --> 00:59:27,700 is not your boss so they cannot Define your work hours. 861 00:59:33,700 --> 00:59:37,800 I must say that again, your spouse is not your boss so they 862 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:47,600 cannot Define your work hours. I don't work for pastor Marcy. 863 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000 So she can't tell me when I go to work. 864 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,900 I'm saying this generation coming up, man. 865 01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:05,100 They want so much of their own personal Tom, then they see, you 866 01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:07,600 know, they'll actually leave jobs just for this plug. 867 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,500 Go work together, then no problem. 868 01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:11,300 I have no problem that go work together. 869 01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:15,500 But again when your spouse says they work you too much, they're 870 01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:20,300 not your boss. And again, if you have an 871 01:00:20,300 --> 01:00:26,300 assignment somewhere to work and be an influencer then you 872 01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:30,100 communicate that, you get an agreement about that. 873 01:00:32,300 --> 01:00:36,000 My wife and I, when I started this church, actually, I worked. 874 01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:40,400 Well, prior to this, I worked at third shift. 875 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:45,000 I worked at swing shift job that you know, of seven days on two 876 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:49,700 days off, seven days on one day off, seven days on straight and 877 01:00:49,700 --> 01:00:53,600 then four days off. And it was third shift, so seven 878 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,900 straight days than second shift for a second straight days than 879 01:00:55,900 --> 01:00:59,300 first shift for second set of straight days for off. 880 01:00:59,300 --> 01:01:01,600 And then you come back and do the thing again, it was brutal, 881 01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:06,500 but it was the season.
