1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:02,000
Don't you want to represent the 
kingdom of God? 

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:04,100
Sure. 
And so, the Bible tells us over 

3
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,600
at 1st Thessalonians 1:9 a few 
of these scriptures. 

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,600
You've heard before, but we want
to bring them back to your 

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,500
remembrance because again, it's 
not good enough that you've come

6
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:14,500
across them one time or that 
you've read them. 

7
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,400
One time. 
What's important is that you're 

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,400
able to keep them stirred up in 
your spirit man so that you'll 

9
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,200
act on them. 
And there's so many elements of 

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,500
the Believers walk that have to 
keep themselves stirred up, so 

11
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:29,400
that they are actually doing the
things that were called to do in

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,400
this particular. 
Two passes. 

13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,700
It says this for they themselves
report about us, what kind of a 

14
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:40,600
reception we had with you and 
how you turned to God from Idols

15
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:47,600
to serve a living and true God. 
So we are deserve a living and 

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,600
true. 
God, we are deserve a living and

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,800
true God. 
We're going to key in on this 

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,100
word serve tonight. 
If you go over to Colossians 

19
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,500
chapter 3, verses, 23 and 24, 
you know this past. 

20
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,900
But let's look at it again. 
It says and whatever you do do. 

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,700
Your work heartedly as for the 
Lord, rather than for rather 

22
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:07,800
than for, that means don't be 
trying to please man. 

23
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:10,900
Now that mean you're not going 
to do a good job for men, but 

24
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:13,400
it's not because you want them 
to be pleased with you. 

25
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,800
What you want is God to be 
pleased with you, okay? 

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And this is why we do it but he 
said, do your work hardly as for

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,500
the law rather than man verse 24
knowing say knowing knowing this

28
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:28,400
is like this is going to take 
place if you'll do the first 

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,800
verse This takes place. 
If you do the first verse this 

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200
takes place, if you do the first
verse. 

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,600
So 24 is conditional on 23. 
If you'll, if you'll do whatever

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,800
you do, you do it, your work 
hardly as for the Lord and not 

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,400
men, this is what you can know 
knowing that from the Lord, you 

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,800
will receive receive the reward 
of The Inheritance. 

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,500
It is the Lord Christ whom you 
served. 

36
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:01,200
Now, this is not, you'll receive
salvation because To be born 

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,900
again and write with our king is
not a work, lest any man should 

38
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:08,500
boast. 
It's not like we're serving God 

39
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:11,200
on our own merits, and getting 
him to recognize that will do 

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,200
what he says. 
And he ought to give us a pass. 

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,800
Forgive us of our sins because 
of our Merit. 

42
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,600
Look how well we're serving 
everyone else. 

43
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:23,700
Know what it is is that you're 
in your inheritance. 

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,200
As for salvation comes through 
the belief system that Jesus 

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,200
Christ died on the cross. 
He shed his blood for For our 

46
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,200
sin, you accepted him as your 
lord and savior. 

47
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,300
And from his work, you became a 
child of God. 

48
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:41,000
But once you became a child of 
God, then you serve the king. 

49
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:44,300
I said you serve the king. 
Then when you serve the king, 

50
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:49,800
you get the rewards because the 
king always were Wars obedience.

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,400
And there are things that you 
can walk in today, rewards that 

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,900
you can have in this life, not 
just the one to come, but right 

53
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:01,400
now, if you will wholeheartedly 
sir, Serve God. 

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,600
Now, this word serve, if we take
it into the Greek and we pulled 

55
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,000
this word out and look at it in.
The Greek is going to be defined

56
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,300
in this capacity. 
It means to serve in a humble 

57
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:15,900
Manner and in response to the 
demands or commands of others, 

58
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,500
all right? 
To be under the control of some 

59
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:22,200
influence and to serve the 
interests of such. 

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,300
So you're saying here, is that 
God? 

61
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,700
I serve you. 
So in essence, I submit myself 

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,500
to do your will I allow you to 
dictate my actions. 

63
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,500
That's what I'm doing, okay. 
So when we take this hardly as 

64
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,300
for the Lord, it means make up 
your mind to work for the Lord 

65
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:48,100
work, his work, his purpose, 
your work is the purpose of God.

66
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400
So, when you do your hardly 
work, it means I'm doing the 

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,000
purpose. 
The King has assigned me to do I

68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
submit my will to his way of 
doing it. 

69
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:00,700
Now this Greek word if we break 
it up because it's a Pound word.

70
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:05,000
The beginning means is it means 
to be devoted to the disregard 

71
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,800
of one's interest. 
This is what Timothy was spoken 

72
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,300
of. 
So, great of Paul in the his 

73
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:14,200
Philippian letter, he said when 
he was talking about that 

74
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,899
particular Church says, I'm 
going to send one of the guys 

75
00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:19,800
that are hanging out with me. 
Now there were many hanging with

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,600
him but he said I can only send 
you Timothy for. 

77
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,100
He's the only one, who's what 
like-minded as myself. 

78
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,800
What was like minded? 
That means he wasn't seeking. 

79
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,200
His own interest. 
These other guys are so again, 

80
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:37,500
this word serve, when you break 
up this Greek word, it means I 

81
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:41,100
disregard my interest for the 
interests of the one I'm 

82
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,500
serving. 
Now, that's easier said, than 

83
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:46,000
done guys. 
I'm just gonna be honest with 

84
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,300
you, and you already know this 
from your own personal 

85
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:53,500
experience and walk with God 
that serving him and letting 

86
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:56,800
your interest go is kind of 
difficult. 

87
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,000
But here's the thing you can do 
it. 

88
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,000
You can do it. 
And if you want to receive all 

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,800
the rewards God has for you in 
this life, then you have to do. 

90
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,900
So, listen to people can come 
and serve at a table. 

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000
The reason why they're serving 
at a table is two different 

92
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,400
things. 
Some can come and serve the 

93
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,900
table whomever is at the table, 
because they generally want them

94
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,600
to be taken care of, it was 
really just about them. 

95
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:29,400
The other and whatever reward 
comes from that they'll receive.

96
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,000
But there's others that weren't 
the table. 

97
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Not because of the person 
they're serving. 

98
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,700
But because of the tip they want
to receive from both the 

99
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:42,600
serving, but the motive of why 
they serve is different, I don't

100
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,900
really care what you give. 
Cause you're not my source. 

101
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:47,200
I'm here to serve you because 
I'm really serving as if God 

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,500
sitting at the table and 
whatever you tipped me a reward 

103
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:55,600
me, I'll receive and be thankful
But ultimately my Ward does come

104
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000
from the Lord that attitudes a 
lot different than all. 

105
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,200
Let me show you the highest 
price items. 

106
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:06,000
Oh let me take you to the the 
menu that serves the drinks 

107
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
because if I can get you, highly
intoxicated you become really 

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,300
profitable not only for the 
restaurant. 

109
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:15,400
But also for my pocket, Are you 
with me? 

110
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:19,400
And so I'm trying to move it in 
such a way and work you in such 

111
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,400
a way so that I get from you and
if you can't discern but God can

112
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,200
you sometimes can't tell which 
person you have. 

113
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,500
But the thing is, God can tell 
because God knows your heart. 

114
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,500
Hallelujah, we see Phillip, 
Italy say that state me, you 

115
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:39,400
know where God knows my heart. 
Don't judge me, God knows my 

116
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,500
heart. 
God does know your heart, you're

117
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:43,600
right. 
And the fact that you're Saying 

118
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,500
that right now. 
Probably means you're in trouble

119
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,000
and you need to repent. 
Right? 

120
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,600
Right. 
Because you don't don't talk, 

121
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,600
don't tell. 
Don't judge me, okay? 

122
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600
I'm not, I don't know why y'all 
hopped up on catnip right now? 

123
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,700
I mean, seriously, to just 
humble yourself it's going to 

124
00:06:57,708 --> 00:06:59,800
be. 
All right, you know, I mean, if 

125
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,900
you freeze it stinks, it stinks.
I'm just talking to you about 

126
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:03,400
your fruit. 
I'm not judging you as a person,

127
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,100
potentially, right? 
Anyway, so this, there's a heart

128
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,800
issue guys here. 
So we see, when we break this 

129
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,600
word up, it literally means. 
Again, it means to be Led to 

130
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,200
another and disregard one's own 
interest, but the latter part of

131
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,300
this Greek word means this to 
bond. 

132
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:21,800
To bond. 
So in essence, what we see with 

133
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,600
this word, this picture of this 
word serve in these two Paths of

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,100
scripture is that you are 
humbling yourself in a way that 

135
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:32,800
you're going to receive a 
command from the one you're 

136
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,500
serving and you're disregarding,
your will and your binding 

137
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:40,100
yourself to their will and serve
their purpose. 

138
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,300
That's what it means to serve in
this pack capacity and God wants

139
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,200
us to serve the Lord in this 
way. 

140
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Now again, that means you've got
to shift your thinking and it's 

141
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,500
not about what you can do. 
It's about what God wants you to

142
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:58,600
do, and then he'll greatly 
reward you according to your 

143
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,600
serving. 
So let's go into another passage

144
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,100
of scripture that I'm a read 
this out. 

145
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:07,000
The passion translation, new 
translation itself and it helps 

146
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Fitness really into today's 
modern vernacular and is going 

147
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,700
to be better for me. 
Me to read it out this 

148
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:13,800
translation for you because I 
think you can get a better 

149
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,900
picture and how it is in the new
King James or in The New 

150
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,900
American Standard Ephesians 
chapter 6, verses 5 through 8 

151
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:23,900
says it this way, those who are 
employed should listen to their 

152
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:27,400
employers and obey their 
instruction with great respect 

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,000
and honor, serve them with 
humility in your hearts as 

154
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,900
though you were working for the 
master. 

155
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,100
Hey, men as though you were 
working for Who the Master? 

156
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:44,000
Always do what is right. 
And not only when others are 

157
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,300
watching so that you may please 
Christ. 

158
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:51,600
As his servants, by doing his 
will serve your employer's 

159
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,800
wholeheartedly and with love as 
though you were serving Christ 

160
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,400
and not men in that powerful. 
He says it's being sure that 

161
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,100
anything you do that is 
beautiful and excellent will be 

162
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:09,200
at will be repaid by who our 
Lord, whether you are an 

163
00:09:09,208 --> 00:09:12,900
employee or Or an employer. 
Now, we get hung up on these 

164
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,900
terms employee-employer. 
A lot of times when the reality 

165
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:18,900
is we are seriously just serving
the king. 

166
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:21,600
Amen. 
So what we, what we need to 

167
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,900
recognize is a person who serves
can come to this table and serve

168
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:32,000
with a hard towards God and even
if the person at the table, 

169
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:37,100
stiffs them attempt. 
Or gives them a low one. 

170
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,900
They realize the tips not over 
with you. 

171
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,000
Even if they give them a great 
one, they still know. 

172
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:48,100
God will repay me because I did 
not work this table to get what 

173
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:49,700
you could give me. 
I work. 

174
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:52,200
The table is if the King was 
already here. 

175
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,800
Hallelujah. 
So amazing. 

176
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,200
Because if you just weren't the 
table for yourself, then you 

177
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,500
only get what comes when the 
table is finished. 

178
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,500
But when you work it for the 
Lord, not only can you get paid 

179
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:08,100
in the natural and whatever it 
is, you're serving, but then God

180
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:10,400
will repay you. 
Because he knows you were 

181
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,400
actually doing it on my account 
every week or every two weeks or

182
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,600
every month you get a paycheck, 
if you are employed somewhere, 

183
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:22,700
if you are a business owner, 
your your your clientele or 

184
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:25,900
coming in and somewhere, a 
salary, or whatever benefit 

185
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:29,500
package comes out of that, 
you're receiving income, and if 

186
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:33,400
you only work your business, or 
you only work as a manager, or 

187
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,800
you only work as an employee, OE
for someone, just for your 

188
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,300
paycheck, then when you get it, 
you get it. 

189
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:44,500
But when you actually serve that
company, are you own your 

190
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:48,100
company in service to God? 
You're not limited to what you 

191
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:52,300
can get in the natural by 
working hard and being diligent,

192
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:55,700
but you'll get an additional 
because God will repay you as 

193
00:10:55,700 --> 00:11:00,000
well. 
The Bible tells us in Hebrews 

194
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,800
11:6. 
It says without faith. 

195
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,600
It's impossible to please God. 
Right for We must believe that 

196
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,400
he is right and that he's a 
rewarder of those who diligently

197
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,700
seek him. 
Not going to go too far into 

198
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:13,500
that verse. 
But I do want us to know that 

199
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:15,700
word where water when you break 
it down in the Greek. 

200
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:21,300
It literally means this one who 
pays wage to someone, so your 

201
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:26,400
faith requires God to pay you a 
wage, he's a rewarder. 

202
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,600
He is paying a wage. 
So again, you're not limited in 

203
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,000
the natural of the literal task.
You're serving when you serve 

204
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,200
it. 
As unto the Lord. 

205
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,100
In essence, you get the double 
dip. 

206
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:40,500
Okay, I'll go over here. 
I don't know about you but I 

207
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,100
want to double dip. 
I used to do a double did when I

208
00:11:43,108 --> 00:11:44,600
was in the Florida Army National
Guard. 

209
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,600
That means that I would I could 
get on what they call man days. 

210
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,400
Okay, a man days would I would 
be working somewhere on post and

211
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,200
they would pay me according to 
my rank that I was currently at.

212
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:02,700
But because I was on man days I 
could take leave from my federal

213
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:06,600
job and so I Paid from the 
federal job. 

214
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,300
So I could do military work. 
And so, during those two weeks, 

215
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:13,600
I would double dip. 
I would get paid in both. 

216
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:18,000
Hallelujah. 
Then if you ended up getting on 

217
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
an assignment somewhere and had 
some military leave, not only to

218
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,600
get paid from your your job, but
then you got paid for your 

219
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,600
assignment plus what they call 
per diem plus travel, maybe even

220
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,800
Hazard pay. 
I mean, you can get a bankroll, 

221
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,500
thank you for paying your taxes.
I'm telling you right now you 

222
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:35,600
would really start rolling into 
some cash. 

223
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,600
And there was a lot of guys, 
they would end up getting their 

224
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,100
per diem, which is like a food 
allowance and they wouldn't even

225
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,200
touch it. 
It would be like thousands of 

226
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,800
dollars, you know, 1700 2025 a 
hundred dollars a month, just 

227
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,800
for food that are like, I mean, 
none of us were even eating that

228
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,400
because they were feeding us 
too. 

229
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:55,500
Hallelujah, I wasn't 
complaining. 

230
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:58,600
You know, don't be upset because
we serve because we could do for

231
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,500
you. 
Just let you know. 

232
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,900
Alright. 
It's alright. 

233
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,800
So my point is that you do want 
to double dip. 

234
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,800
Don't limit your life to a 
service of only natural pleasing

235
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,700
of men or whatever. 
That maybe to get that natural 

236
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:15,400
reward. 
God says, don't limit yourself 

237
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,300
there, actually do it to me. 
And if you'll do it for me, not 

238
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:20,800
only can you get a natural War, 
but you'll get a supernatural 

239
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,500
world as well. 
Amen, So with that being said, 

240
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,700
let's go over to John, chapter 
12, John chapter 12 verse 26, 

241
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:33,200
says this, if anyone serves me. 
Now, this is the Lord speaking 

242
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:38,200
John chapter 12 verse 26. 
He says, if anyone serves me, he

243
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,600
must follow me. 
Alright, that's some pretty 

244
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,300
strong language, right there. 
All right, so let's make sure we

245
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:49,300
Define it as it's written. 
All right? 

246
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,500
What it does not say is if which
is conditional. 

247
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,500
What's that mean? 
You don't have to but if you 

248
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:00,800
don't then you don't get the 
reward nor will you get the 

249
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,700
honor. 
So this whole verse is 

250
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:12,500
conditional on what you do if 
who Anyone so who's anyone, my 

251
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:16,000
definition, anyone can that be 
you? 

252
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:18,600
So we're not talking to the 
fivefold minister. 

253
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200
We're not taught. 
Listen, we're not even talking 

254
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,000
to the Saints. 
Now, that doesn't mean a balloon

255
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,600
unbeliever can follow God, he 
can follow God up to the 

256
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,700
Revelation, he has. 
But ultimately the Lord's going 

257
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:34,900
to say you need Jesus then at 
that point you had to break over

258
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:38,800
into Jesus but you can't as an 
unbeliever follow some 

259
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,200
principles of God and get God's 
blessing which he will 

260
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,700
ultimately point you to Jesus 
that. 

261
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:50,800
Then you're going to have to 
come up and make that account, 

262
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,800
right? 
How do we know this is true? 

263
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:55,900
Because the Rich Young Ruler Was
blessed, because he followed 

264
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,200
what God Said, but he still was 
lacking. 

265
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:02,100
So, he goes to the great 
teachers, as what must I do to 

266
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:05,000
inherit eternal life, he said, 
just keep the Commandment son. 

267
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:07,600
He said, I've been doing that 
since I was a child and he's 

268
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,400
Rich, he's wealthy, he's 
prospered because of God's 

269
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,700
principles, but he needed it now
submit to the lordship of Jesus.

270
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:17,400
It weathers one thing you like. 
Ultimately, if you want to get 

271
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,400
over into the Overflow and have 
Treasures in Heaven, some, 

272
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200
you're going to have to let me 
be the Lord of your life. 

273
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:26,800
Gently. 
He did not follow then and once 

274
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,800
he didn't follow, then he's 
ceased to follow him. 

275
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:33,500
He has ceased to follow. 
All right. 

276
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:37,000
If anyone serves me, he must 
follow me. 

277
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,500
That doesn't say if anyone 
serves me, he can he can decide 

278
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:43,700
when he wants to to come and 
hook up with me and go where I'm

279
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,600
going and do what I'm doing. 
Okay, Hallelujah. 

280
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,900
I mean again guys the Bible is 
really straightforward, you 

281
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:55,000
know, and it's an awesome thing.
If we just actually literally do

282
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,200
what it says we're going to 
have. 

283
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200
It literally what it says, but 
if we all of a sudden began to 

284
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,900
make, excuse why we can't do a 
thing, then we'll also make an 

285
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,700
excuse, why God's not doing a 
thing, and then we'll make 

286
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:09,900
excuses or we'll start there. 
Wrongly interpret God's word is 

287
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:12,400
if God chooses, not to do 
certain things. 

288
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,700
When the reality is this really 
was our issue called, we didn't 

289
00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:17,500
fulfill the Scripture. 
It Minds me of what brother 

290
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:21,100
Hagin said Kenneth E Hagin said 
one time when God took him and 

291
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,700
spoke to him and said I was 
reading a book today concerning 

292
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:27,200
this particular account and 
brother Hagin was called into 

293
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,800
the first phase of ministry. 
He had been doing 12 years of 

294
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,700
pastoring but God never called 
him to pasture. 

295
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:35,500
And so he went goes into go out 
to minister to people, to 

296
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,300
churches and go teach their 
people face. 

297
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:40,700
So he answered the call and he 
went, did it a year later he 

298
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,500
sits down to settle accounts 
with God. 

299
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:46,500
In essence, he says now Lord I 
obeyed you ice, went out, and I 

300
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:48,500
began to travel around and 
Minister. 

301
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:52,600
I let go of that church. 
I'll let go of that parsonage. 

302
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,200
I let go of that salary. 
We were doing good. 

303
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:59,500
And now, when I look at my 
account and I look at the car 

304
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:02,200
that I no longer have, because I
had to sell it for junk, and I 

305
00:17:02,208 --> 00:17:05,200
look at the whole of my shoes 
and I looked at I only have one 

306
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,700
suit and I look that I'm not 
better off this year. 

307
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,300
I'm going to have to hold you 
accountable as your word says, 

308
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:13,900
if you're willing and obedient 
you eat the good of the lamb and

309
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,200
the Lord speaks to him and says 
that verse don't call you. 

310
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:20,599
Don't qualify for that verse. 
He said, what do you mean? 

311
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,300
I don't qualify for that burst. 
The Lord says you were obedient.

312
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,800
You did it, but you weren't 
willing so really the whole 

313
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,300
time. 
He's out there and he's not 

314
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:29,800
seeing the income and he's not 
seeing it and obviously the 

315
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,100
challenges that go with him 
traveling and what was some of 

316
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:34,300
the challenges that he had? 
Here's one of the challenges, he

317
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:37,400
would go minister at a church 
for a week or two weeks and they

318
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,900
wouldn't even take up an 
offering for him. 

319
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,600
Some Churches, he would go by, 
they wouldn't even feed him. 

320
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,200
They assumed he had for himself.
Because the gospel is free. 

321
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,100
So here, he's not doing better. 
The Lord says yeah you are 

322
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:56,700
obedient but you weren't 
willing. 

323
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,500
He said, well and I tell you 
right now only takes about 10 

324
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:03,800
seconds to get willing and so he
got willing. 

325
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,100
And then the next time he came 
with him, he was doing better 

326
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:07,600
off. 
Can I get an amen? 

327
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:10,900
So, a lot of times we don't 
watch out, we're not actually 

328
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,100
doing the scripture as God says,
and serving God's, a serious 

329
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:17,500
deal. 
But again, if we reduce the 

330
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,600
whole context of the scripture 
that ask Jesus to come into your

331
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,800
heart and forgive you of your 
sins. 

332
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,900
So when you die, you go to 
heaven. 

333
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,500
Then you'll wait to serve him 
when you get to heaven. 

334
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,900
But God's not waiting for you to
get to heaven to hit for you to 

335
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:38,400
serve him. 
He's saying, I want you to serve

336
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,700
me now because I'm not going to 
wait till you get to heaven to 

337
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:45,400
give you a reward. 
I'm not gonna wait till you come

338
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,700
to heaven to treat you as a son 
and a daughter of God. 

339
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:50,900
I'm not going to wait till 
heaven to take care of my own 

340
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:53,900
family, but if I'm going to 
honor you, and if I'm going to 

341
00:18:53,908 --> 00:18:58,000
take care of you, and if I'm 
gonna repay you or reward, you, 

342
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,600
then you're going to have to 
serve me, meaning, you're gonna 

343
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:06,000
have to take your will Attach it
to my will disregard your 

344
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,600
desires, pick up, only my 
desires, be bound to that, and 

345
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,500
do it with all your heart. 
Hallelujah. 

346
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:19,200
So he says, if anyone serves me,
he must notice he again did give

347
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,600
you the option at this point. 
He's saying, this is how it 

348
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,500
looks. 
You must follow me and where I 

349
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:30,500
am there. 
My servant will be also, well, 

350
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:33,700
where is he? 
We know he's seated at the right

351
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:35,100
hand of the father. 
Is he not? 

352
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:42,300
Well, are you there with him? 
You are in word and spirit, but 

353
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:45,400
you're not physically, and 
you're only there and word and 

354
00:19:45,408 --> 00:19:47,200
spirit. 
If you actually believe that 

355
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,800
you've been raised up seated in 
Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

356
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,000
Okay? 
So, in a literal sense, you 

357
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,500
can't actually be physically 
present in heaven with Jesus on 

358
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,400
the throne that He sits on at 
the right hand of the father, so

359
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,200
obviously he's not telling you, 
you can't be with him. 

360
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,100
So what does he mean? 
He means then number one, we 

361
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:12,700
know where he is. 
Where is he and the Earth? 

362
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:17,000
Can anyone tell me? 
He's in the Bible, right? 

363
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,500
Cause he's the word of God. 
That's one place. 

364
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:21,100
He is the second place. 
He is. 

365
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:23,200
Someone said he's in us. 
That's true. 

366
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,200
He is in you. 
If you've hidden the word in 

367
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,600
your heart and the Holy Ghost 
Bears, witness with your spirit.

368
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,100
You're a child of God is God 
Christ in you the hope of glory.

369
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,500
So he's in his work. 
Where is alive and active? 

370
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,400
He's in you because you are the 
Temple of the, Holy Ghost. 

371
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,800
But here's another place. 
He is, anybody know where he's 

372
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,100
at, he's in the church because 
this his body. 

373
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:47,400
So, yes, you can talk to 
yourself. 

374
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,000
Be amongst yourself, have the 
word for yourself, but you can't

375
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,400
be with him. 
Also, if you're not in church, 

376
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,000
okay, hallelujah. 
Amen. 

377
00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:00,600
And you can't pick and choose 
when whenever Jesus says church 

378
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,800
is going on church is going on. 
And if he's assigned you to a 

379
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,100
local body with a vision to run 
with and went whatever that 

380
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:13,200
church decides that God saying 
we should do this and I just 

381
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,800
choose to be scriptural myself 
because the Bible tells me and 

382
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,900
Hebrews chapter 10 to not 
forsake, the assembling of 

383
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:24,200
ourselves together as is the 
habit of some, but all the more 

384
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:27,800
say, all the more not all the 
less. 

385
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:31,000
But all the more as the day 
approaches. 

386
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:35,200
This is why I have no problem 
that we can raise up people on 

387
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,300
Sunday, morning to Services have
a kingdom Institute on Sunday 

388
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:41,900
night, have a Monday night, 
Mighty Men, 318 on Wednesday and

389
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:44,900
I have service Thursday night. 
I have band practice Friday 

390
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,300
night have of whatever would 
show up. 

391
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:53,500
You know, any Spanish service on
the fourth one or Friday night 

392
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:57,700
explosion with our children or, 
you know, a women's ministry, 

393
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,100
call her Man's Ministry, mighty,
man. 

394
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:02,000
Whatever it may be. 
I have no problem. 

395
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,500
Why? 
Because we're getting closer to 

396
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:07,000
Jesus, and Jesus, if I'm 
following him, he's in the 

397
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
church. 
And the church should be open to

398
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,700
a more than less as we get 
closer. 

399
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,400
And if you'll continue to get 
involved in those areas when 

400
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,100
they're open, then you'll find 
yourself following him fully and

401
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,300
you'll get the next thing there.
There, my servant will be also, 

402
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:27,900
and if anyone serves me, the 
father will honor him. 

403
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:30,300
Now the thing With this word 
serves here, in this passage of 

404
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:34,200
scripture is not the same Greek 
word as the one we defined in 

405
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,400
the other three. 
This one is a little different. 

406
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:43,800
This one means this. 
It means to be an attendant To 

407
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,700
wait upon. 
Or as a host. 

408
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:52,800
It also means this, it means an 
attendant. 

409
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,500
Are you ready? 
Oh, waiter Now you understand 

410
00:22:57,500 --> 00:22:59,700
why someone's been taking care 
of the table tonight? 

411
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,300
I understand why you got some 
dinner mints when you came in 

412
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:05,200
because we're feeding you the 
bread of life tonight. 

413
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,000
Hallelujah. 
Amen. 

414
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,500
There's some water. 
We're pouring out that when you 

415
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:12,500
come and drink from it, you'll 
never thirst again. 

416
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,900
That's what we serving tonight. 
Can I get an? 

417
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:18,400
Amen. 
All right, so we need to learn 

418
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,400
how to be great waiters or 
waitresses. 

419
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,100
All right, I'm gonna say waiter 
because I have a waiter tonight.

420
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:27,200
I don't have a waitress up here,
all right? 

421
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,600
And the reality is we need to 
And what this means, the vine of

422
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,700
this Greek word means this to 
render any kind of service, 

423
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:40,300
okay, and begin, we want to 
follow him or serve him fully. 

424
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:45,600
We are here because the king 
asked us to be a part of his 

425
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,400
kingdom while we were yet, 
sinners he died for us and then 

426
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,000
he called us into his family. 
No one went after God. 

427
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,400
No, not one but God apprehended 
you. 

428
00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:00,500
God went after you. 
God says, I lie for you to come 

429
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:04,600
and sit at my table. 
And sup with me. 

430
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,200
Hallelujah. 
But as we come really, we want 

431
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,300
to wait on him. 
I said we want to wait on him. 

432
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:14,400
So I'm going to take some time 
to do some types and shadows of 

433
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,000
what you're familiar with 
already in the natural and bring

434
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,300
it into perspective of your 
spiritual serving of God, can I 

435
00:24:22,308 --> 00:24:24,400
get an amen. 
What we're talking about is the 

436
00:24:24,408 --> 00:24:28,200
kingdom of God is like a waiter 
who serves at a restaurant. 

437
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,000
Okay, so let's look at a few 
things. 

438
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,600
The first thing we understand 
about a waiter is a way to 

439
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,900
represents the restaurant not 
themselves. 

440
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,000
I said the waiter represents the
restaurant not themselves. 

441
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,400
Hallelujah. 
You know what I've noticed 

442
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,900
because when waiters especially 
ones that this is their 

443
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:53,000
profession and here's the thing,
you've been born again, you've 

444
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,800
been bought with a price, your 
life is not your own part of 

445
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,000
your Christian, walk with God is
service. 

446
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:03,200
In fact, he says this in Romans,
he says, in Romans 12:1, he 

447
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,800
talks about that, we are to be 
renewed in our mind, right? 

448
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,800
We, and there is a reasonable 
service. 

449
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:19,700
Of worship. so, as Believers is 
reasonable for us to serve the 

450
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:28,800
king and a person whose life is 
in there, waiting when they are 

451
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:35,400
scheduled, they show up We 
hallelujah. 

452
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:39,700
Amen. 
Now, I understand cuz we all 

453
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:41,500
were there's days. 
You want to call out? 

454
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,700
I get it and you do call out. 
Well, and this happens at 

455
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:48,100
church, don't you sometimes like
man I just can't go ahead. 

456
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:51,500
I'm just, you know and and 
there's no condemnation in that.

457
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:53,300
No problem. 
I understand. 

458
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,300
But do you consistently come to 
wait on the Lord? 

459
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:05,600
Or is there always a call out? 
Because obviously if a 

460
00:26:05,608 --> 00:26:11,600
restaurant owner, had a waiter 
who kept calling out what do you

461
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,000
think he would do with that 
waiter be like man you're not 

462
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:22,100
with us. 
Amen, you're not with us, but 

463
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:27,900
when you do show up, you put on 
the uniform, the outfit. 

464
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:33,400
The outfit that the restaurant 
says you wear, aren't you 

465
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,400
supposed to put on the full 
armor of God? 

466
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:37,700
And there's something you're 
supposed to put on you supposed 

467
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:40,200
to put on the new man, you got 
to put on the new man. 

468
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,000
When you show up here at church,
you don't put on the old man and

469
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,300
show them because people out in 
the parking lot, you don't put 

470
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:47,200
on the old man and come in like 
a drunkard. 

471
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,500
You don't come in the old man, 
and you totaling cuss like a 

472
00:26:49,508 --> 00:26:51,500
sailor. 
Do you put on the new, man? 

473
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,400
You put on Joy. 
Yeah, you put on Joy. 

474
00:26:56,500 --> 00:27:00,900
You put, you put on, peace. 
That is a uniform that you get 

475
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:03,700
to wear when you come to stand 
before the Lord. 

476
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:06,600
When you come to wait upon the 
Lord. 

477
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,400
And there's two sides did this. 
When we can look at this table, 

478
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,200
we could say it this way. 
You wait on the Lord, the Lord's

479
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,900
at the table. 
But you know what, there's 

480
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:17,100
another side of this. 
It's you waiting on the world. 

481
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:19,500
Meaning you're serving the, the 
world. 

482
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,500
What the owner of the restaurant
has to serve them. 

483
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,000
Because you represent the 
restaurant, we represent Christ.

484
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,100
So we'll go. 
And we'll say then the in Christ

485
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:37,300
says, this is what we serve. 
This is what's on the menu. 

486
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,400
So somebody can come in and say,
I want, you know, a Whopper with

487
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,500
cheese, but you're in the 
Drive-Thru of Chick-fil-A, 

488
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:51,600
there's a problem, right? 
And you say listen, I'm going to

489
00:27:51,608 --> 00:27:53,600
have them all. 
Hey there, like you got to go 

490
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,600
across the street. 
Yes, sometimes doesn't the world

491
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,000
come in and say, well, we won't 
God on our terms. 

492
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:06,100
He says Christ is on the menu. 
This is what happens. 

493
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:08,300
This is how. 
And you, as a way to represent 

494
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:10,400
the menu, I'm sorry, that's not 
on our menu. 

495
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,100
I'm sorry, that's not on our 
menu. 

496
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:14,600
I'm sorry, that's all I got on 
me, but your choose to pick 

497
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,100
anything. 
Now, you can go eat at the 

498
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:26,000
devil's place all day long. 
Hallelujah. 

499
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:30,500
So waiter represents the 
restaurant not themselves. 

500
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,000
The next thing we know this is 
no matter which restaurant you 

501
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,400
go to, you always expect the 
waiter to do their purpose. 

502
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,900
I mean you have an expectation. 
Do you ever go down? 

503
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:43,000
Say hey, scuse me. 
Can I get your job description? 

504
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:45,100
I don't know. 
Not about you, man. 

505
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:49,200
You know what you supposed to 
do? 

506
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:50,700
I mean, what's in your job 
description? 

507
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:52,600
I want to make sure you doing 
this, right? 

508
00:28:55,100 --> 00:29:01,200
No, because of seeing what they 
are to do you all of a sudden. 

509
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,700
Assume that that's how everybody
supposed to be. 

510
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:05,900
This is why you as a Believer 
people to be life. 

511
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:11,000
Aren't you a Christian? 
So they get a little confused 

512
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,100
when you don't act like one 
based upon what they thought. 

513
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600
Now, if they think you should do
a thing that you're not supposed

514
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,000
to use a number job description,
not let me do that. 

515
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,100
But a lot of times people 
observe us why. 

516
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,600
Because the world's looking for 
Jesus, so when I go to a 

517
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,100
restaurant care who it is, I 
don't care, whether I'm paying 

518
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:34,800
five dollars for plate or 
whether I'm paying $50 for 

519
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,200
plate. 
I expect the waiter to do what 

520
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,800
he was called to do. 
Amen. 

521
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,300
And how many you you're not 
really excited when they don't 

522
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:49,400
do what they were called to do. 
Now, you wonder why the world 

523
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,900
struggles with the church. 
Hallelujah. 

524
00:29:55,700 --> 00:30:00,400
How's your servant? 
All right, a waiter is judged 

525
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,000
not by their looks as much as 
their service. 

526
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:08,700
And you know, our waitress had 
get tattoos all over. 

527
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,300
No. 
But man she kept my cup full. 

528
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:13,300
I mean, she was running over 
here. 

529
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:16,200
Making sure we have I don't care
what you look like. 

530
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:19,400
I lost I didn't even see her. 
All I saw was her actions. 

531
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,100
God is not a man that he looks 
on the outward appearance, but 

532
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:25,800
he judges a heart. 
I'm telling you right now. 

533
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,200
You don't worry about what 
people think about you on the 

534
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,400
outside. 
You just start serving. 

535
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,500
God. 
They won't even worry about what

536
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:33,200
you look like. 
On the outside prejudices will 

537
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,900
start to disappear. 
Yeah, when you serve the Lord, 

538
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:41,300
now, I'm not saying you won't 
get persecuted because have you 

539
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:44,300
ever been to those places? 
I mean, I have, I've been around

540
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:45,500
those. 
I mean, when I say that, I've 

541
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:48,400
been around those tables, the 
people that the waitress seem 

542
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,700
like, I don't care how much they
are come in and showing up, they

543
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:54,600
complaining about everything, 
this isn't done. 

544
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,100
I don't like that, I want 
something else. 

545
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,400
Can I talk to your manager, like
bro, you need to take it 

546
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,500
outside, you know, you had a bad
day. 

547
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,100
Can I massage your neck or 
something? 

548
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:09,100
What's wrong, you know? 
Massage Right? 

549
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,500
I'm hanging in there, like 
smiling. 

550
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,400
I'm sorry. 
I'm sorry. 

551
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,100
You know, I'm sorry. 
You're thinking I know you want 

552
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:16,700
to slap them right now. 
I know that's what you want to 

553
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:23,300
do and you're a walking and 
self-control, hey, men, walking 

554
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:26,000
and self-control. 
It's amazing. 

555
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,200
How waiter can walk in 
self-control when they serve a 

556
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,900
table and we have a fruit of the
spirit. 

557
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:33,200
I said we have a fruit of the 
spirit. 

558
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,400
Alright, so again man, the 
waiters A judge so much as they 

559
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,000
look, but as their service, 
listen to this. 

560
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,500
Another thing a waiter does a 
waiter, should know the menu and

561
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:45,800
today's special and you been in 
those hate. 

562
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,200
So, so what's the specials? 
You know, I don't, I just got 

563
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,900
here. 
I don't know. 

564
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:51,200
Let me go. 
Find out. 

565
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:55,700
Okay, you go find out. 
Right. 

566
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:59,600
So what's what's the most 
popular thing on your menu? 

567
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:01,000
You know. 
I don't know. 

568
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,800
I just got here or you know, I 
really don't know. 

569
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:05,900
Hmm. 
It's do we serve that up? 

570
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:09,700
Well, we do have mashed 
potatoes, I did not know that. 

571
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,700
All right, your life won't, you 
sit down, let me wait on you 

572
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,800
right but how many Believers 
don't know the word. 

573
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:26,400
Oh yeah, I'm preaching now. 
They don't know the word and all

574
00:32:26,408 --> 00:32:29,100
of a sudden the world says, 
what's going on. 

575
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,600
You know, why is all this stuff 
happening? 

576
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,800
You know, I just got here. 
I don't know. 

577
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,500
I mean, I got born again ten 
years ago. 

578
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,800
And man, I'm still trying to 
figure this thing out, bro. 

579
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:45,500
Yes, you ain't studied the menu.
I said, you've not studied the 

580
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:49,900
menu and here's the thing, God's
word is eternal Everlasting, but

581
00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:53,600
sometimes he runs some daily 
specials, guess what? 

582
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:56,900
Today's Shal is healing and 
because you all did today, we 

583
00:32:56,900 --> 00:32:59,400
going to lay hands on you, and 
you're going to be healed before

584
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,500
you leave, because it gets us 
peer in operation right now. 

585
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:05,100
Wants to heal your body. 
That's the special today. 

586
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,200
But do you know what the special
is if you're not talking to the 

587
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:15,300
owner of the restaurant? 
Amen. 

588
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:17,800
It's all clicking now in it. 
You'll never go to a restaurant.

589
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,800
The same. 
I hope this is the, this is the 

590
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,600
goal that when I wait, your 
comes, y'all later comes, our 

591
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,700
waitress comes. 
You're going to see God showing 

592
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:26,600
up. 
Are you going to say? 

593
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,700
Oh my gosh, here comes my 
Christian walk. 

594
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:34,100
Hallelujah. 
You know what else the waiter 

595
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:38,400
does listen a waiter make 
suggestions based on the needs 

596
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,100
of the ones they serve. 
All of a sudden they'll go, you 

597
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:46,800
know, I like you know what, then
we have this as your choice. 

598
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,400
You know, well have you ever had
this? 

599
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,900
You know what I've not had it 
personally myself but I hear 

600
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:54,900
it's quite nice to be honest 
with you. 

601
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:57,400
I cannot give a comment on that.
I'm not, you know what? 

602
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,200
Every time I come in to lunch, I
myself by that. 

603
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,600
It's the best thing on the menu.
So I've been in restaurants at 

604
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,100
the waiter shows up and goes 
tonight. 

605
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:08,500
Specialism begins. 
Just boom tell me how it's made 

606
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:12,000
and I'm like drooling at the 
mouth thing and I'm doing that I

607
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000
don't have to read it. 
Now your words have compelled me

608
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,300
to want to eat what you said 
does your life because you wait 

609
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:20,800
on the Lord when you go talk to 
the world compelled them to 

610
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,199
drool out the mouth and say I 
want to eat what you're eating. 

611
00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:26,199
What? 
You just said that, I could 

612
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:30,800
have, I want it. 
Are you able to pit paint a 

613
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,500
picture of God? 
Specials are God's menu in such 

614
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:39,500
a way that the world is drooling
at the mouth to taste and see 

615
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:45,400
that the Lord is good. 
It's good. 

616
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,699
That's why you got to know the 
menu. 

617
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:50,000
You can't make suggestions if 
you don't want know what the 

618
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,400
menu is and you know what, 
sometimes you can say. 

619
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,300
Now listen, if you do that, if 
you happen to have this 

620
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,900
challenge, know this peanut oils
in that or if you know if you're

621
00:34:57,900 --> 00:34:59,700
looking for gluten-free option. 
Boom. 

622
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,800
But again, if you don't know how
to navigate them, then you can 

623
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,800
actually serve somebody 
something that can hurt their 

624
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:10,400
life. 
And how many Believers start 

625
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,000
saying stuff without studying 
out themselves just called pre 

626
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,900
You're so and so on YouTube said
it. 

627
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:20,800
And want to know why they're 
choking and you're having to do 

628
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,200
the heimlich maneuver on them 
because you gave them something 

629
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,500
that they can't have. 
That their bodies in it's in 

630
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:31,600
their intolerant to. 
They're not ready to receive it 

631
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,900
yet. 
Can I get an amen? 

632
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:36,800
Alright, the next thing we 
understand about a waiter's, a 

633
00:35:36,808 --> 00:35:45,300
waiter takes orders with a 
smile, the good ones. 

634
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,900
And what would you like? 
Okay, that's unsweet tea with 

635
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:52,300
lemon zucchini frittata if we 
were at Carrabba's. 

636
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,600
If I'm over at black Molly's I'm
getting the artichoke dip, 

637
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,500
right? 
We're picking that up. 

638
00:35:58,500 --> 00:35:59,700
You know, we're going to take 
that much. 

639
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:01,600
I've been there enough. 
They're saying y'all both get no

640
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,600
sweet tea with lemon. 
And you getting the dip today? 

641
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,100
Oh man, they talking to me. 
I actually have there's one guy 

642
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:09,600
been working on for a little 
while. 

643
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,500
You know, been showing the love 
of God and we my wife and I went

644
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:15,800
over there the other day. 
I had an appointment at 1:30 

645
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:20,100
and, you know, we're rolling in 
there about 12:40 close. 

646
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:22,800
To 12:45 is packed out, we're 
looking around. 

647
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Nobody's got really got food. 
We're like, we're not gonna make

648
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,000
it, we gotta go. 
So we're like, forget it, don't 

649
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,200
worry about it. 
So we walked out, he comes 

650
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,100
running out. 
Are you just gonna walk up in 

651
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:36,900
here and then leave I said, man,
I gotta go. 

652
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,900
I gotta meet him and I'd love to
I said I was fixing to suggest 

653
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:42,100
they get you because I know that
you'll take care of me because 

654
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:43,700
if you know, I got an 
appointment, you'll get it 

655
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:45,000
through for me. 
I know that. 

656
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:48,600
But it's still be too thin for 
to Too Close for me today. 

657
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:49,900
I'll have to go but you'll see 
me again. 

658
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:53,700
Yeah, I know I will Amen. 
Why I've developed 

659
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:58,000
relationships? 
You know, the word is relatable 

660
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,700
to anyone in any part of life, 
whether they accept God or not 

661
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:06,300
to the point that they will be 
drawn to you and all of a sudden

662
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,300
if you're a great weight or 
they'll start asking you for 

663
00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:11,400
Name by name, have you ever 
noticed when Trouble Comes, hey,

664
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,900
can you pray and they don't even
know God yet but because you've 

665
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,100
been able to serve them, you've 
waited on the Lord, you know, 

666
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:21,500
what's on the menu, may be able 
to serve them and that capacity 

667
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:23,500
all of a sudden they come 
running to you. 

668
00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:26,700
They come asking for you. 
In fact they want to bless You 

669
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:29,100
because you've been such a 
blessing in their life. 

670
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,400
Hallelujah, but a waiter takes 
orders. 

671
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,600
Meaning, you tell them and they 
don't go. 

672
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,500
Don't tell me what to do. 
You get your own food? 

673
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:44,700
You know how many times I've 
been waiting on people. 

674
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:46,700
Waiting on people. 
We don't people, you know, you 

675
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:49,200
get your smart remarks and get a
couple tips here. 

676
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,600
Give me some change are really, 
you know, you can go get it up 

677
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,200
to just get up on the table. 
Go find it yourself, right? 

678
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,100
No. 
They take orders and respond to 

679
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:04,200
your word. 
How much do more should we when 

680
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,800
we wait on the Lord? 
And the Lord says I'd like for 

681
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:14,600
you to Yes, Lord. 
Are you hearing me? 

682
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:17,400
But what do we do? 
Lord, we serving that today. 

683
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,600
No, no peace is on the menu 
today. 

684
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,500
Cheese's you don't know what 
they did to me. 

685
00:38:26,900 --> 00:38:33,900
We are all out of Peace today. 
Now the Lord never runs out of 

686
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:38,200
peace is Everlasting. 
He never runs out of Joy. 

687
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:40,600
He never runs out what his 
fruit. 

688
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,700
Never runs out and it doesn't go
old and you don't have to throw 

689
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:45,300
it away. 
The fruits of the spirit are 

690
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:47,600
fresh every day, they're fresh 
every morning. 

691
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,000
They're fresh and every 
opportunity they're always 

692
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,200
fresh. 
Always served fresh and man. 

693
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,200
They work and man. 
God's like, man, you just 

694
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,200
brought peace to my life. 
Yeah, I brought it from the King

695
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,400
here, taste and see that the 
Lord is Is good. 

696
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,200
What you serving up day long 
suffering with you, bro? 

697
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,200
You don't even know. 
I got some long suffering on the

698
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,800
plate. 
My king said. 

699
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,000
I want a serving of 
long-suffering with you today. 

700
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:15,500
Oh, What can I get a side order 
of Joy? 

701
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:19,600
Then just ask for a side order 
Joy, when God makes you go 

702
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,700
through the long-suffering 
plate, come on, just go ahead 

703
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:26,300
and bring joy out with it. 
And here, I'm serving alone 

704
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:27,600
suffering, they don't realize 
that. 

705
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,700
That's what they're eating and 
you're eating a plate of Joy on 

706
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:32,100
the, in the back. 
Hallelujah. 

707
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:33,400
What is this good? 
Let me go. 

708
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,700
Get him another plate. 
A long-suffering this is good. 

709
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:39,500
Mercy were serving today 
patients were serving today. 

710
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Amen. 
And here's the thing as a waiter

711
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,200
takes order. 
The waiter is to communicate the

712
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:51,200
order precisely the way it 
received it in another location.

713
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,100
Meaning when we wait on the 
loan, we coming to church here. 

714
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:57,500
And God begins to speak to us 
through his word, then you are 

715
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:02,200
supposed to go out to the world 
and speak to it as you received 

716
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:08,900
it. 
What you get you're supposed to,

717
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:12,300
there's nothing more 
disheartening to give an order 

718
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:17,200
and it come back wrong. 
And you understand what the 

719
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,800
Lord's, given the order as 
you're waiting on him and you're

720
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,100
the waiter. 
And he says here, take this 

721
00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:23,300
order. 
What do you say concerning his 

722
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:25,700
order? 
My word shall not return unto me

723
00:40:25,700 --> 00:40:29,100
void, which means, when I tell 
you to go with it, when it comes

724
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:31,100
back to me, it will not return 
unto me void. 

725
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:33,200
But it shall accomplish that 
which it was sent to do, which 

726
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,200
means, whatever I sent out. 
It's going to come back in that 

727
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,800
way. 
So God expects that whatever we 

728
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,600
take from him and we go out, 
when we come back to God in that

729
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,400
situation, we should be 
responding as God told us to 

730
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,300
respond. 
If the Lord sent you away and 

731
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:49,500
say, man, you're blessed, don't 
worry about that bill. 

732
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:51,000
I got it taken care of your 
prosperous. 

733
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,300
You don't come back to him with 
a plate of grumbling and 

734
00:40:54,300 --> 00:41:00,500
complaining. 
What's this right here is bad, 

735
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,000
it was worse than we thought, 
right? 

736
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,700
No no, you come back with. 
Here's a plate of prosperity. 

737
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,700
I know we have it, I got it in. 
Jesus name is this way, I'm 

738
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,100
giving it back to you. 
This is what you wanted, and 

739
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:15,200
this is what you hear from me. 
I'm okay. 

740
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,200
It's all good. 
I don't have to see it, but you 

741
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,100
said it and it's going to be 
this way. 

742
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,300
See when you do that, the Lord 
said. 

743
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:22,400
We'll come on and sit down this 
table. 

744
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,200
Then have a bite of what I'm 
eating then then you actually 

745
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,800
get to partake of that. 
You're believing for and now 

746
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,400
it's not even faith in you. 
You actually have it cause my 

747
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,300
word, what you sent from my 
hand, it shall not return unto 

748
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:35,900
me void, but it will accomplish 
that which it was sent to do. 

749
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,200
Hallelujah. 
When you eat the one, we wait on

750
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,300
the Lord, take orders from him 
and we go out. 

751
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:46,100
It had come back to him the same
way and we'll have what we say. 

752
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:51,800
Alright now here's the thing, a 
waiter does not serve once we 

753
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,400
don't watch out will preach a 
gospel that a person believes 

754
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,400
they only have to do one thing. 
One act of Service to the Lord, 

755
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,600
get on their knees. 
Pray, as she's coming the heart 

756
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,500
and save them, then the rest of 
the serving happens when they 

757
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:07,600
die and go to heaven. 
No, a great waiter or waitress 

758
00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:12,200
does not come to the table once.
The great ones. 

759
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,900
Never let you drink. 
Run draw. 

760
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:20,400
You never say, excuse me waiter.
Those words should never come. 

761
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:24,300
If you're a great one, should 
always be there. 

762
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:27,000
And you know what God, you know,
as good excuse me, Lord, can we 

763
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,800
have a conversation? 
The Lord's, like, I've always 

764
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,800
been here. 
I've been waiting on you when 

765
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:41,000
you should be waiting on me. 
Now, again as a waiter because 

766
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,400
multiple tables they'll go, you 
know, do you need some more 

767
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,100
time? 
The only reason they do that is 

768
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:48,400
because there's other people to 
wait on, but we're all the 

769
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:53,200
weight on one. 
The Lord, which means Lord, take

770
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,200
your time. 
There's no other table in the 

771
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,400
place. 
I'll be here all day. 

772
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:04,500
Until I hear many of us walk off
without receiving an order and 

773
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:06,900
you want to know why your life 
is empty because you didn't get 

774
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:10,100
nothing from God. 
You thought the world's table 

775
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:15,100
would serve you better when the 
reality is only one table in the

776
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:19,900
restaurant is his And he's the 
only one we should be listening 

777
00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:22,700
to. 
And when water starts coming 

778
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:24,100
man, we should wait on that 
table. 

779
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:26,600
We should not. 
It shouldn't be Christmas when I

780
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,300
come to wait on God and then see
you next year. 

781
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,200
It shouldn't be. 
Hey I'm gonna double up this 

782
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,500
year. 
I'm going to do Easter and 

783
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:35,100
Christmas and shallow guess what
this year is going to be 

784
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:36,500
awesome. 
I have a New Year's resolution. 

785
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:38,000
I'm gonna come to church three 
times. 

786
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:42,000
I'm gonna do Easter Thanksgiving
and Christmas. 

787
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:48,100
No, it should be Lord, I'm 
coming, man, I'm coming to your 

788
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,100
table. 
I'm coming to your table. 

789
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,900
I'm coming to your table. 
I'm come check it in. 

790
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,200
You need anything. 
Is there anything you need? 

791
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:56,600
Lord? 
Is there anything you need 

792
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,400
anything? 
You need? 

793
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,900
Lord, because my will doesn't 
matter. 

794
00:43:58,900 --> 00:44:00,500
Your will matter anything you 
need. 

795
00:44:00,500 --> 00:44:02,400
You need me to do anything. 
Need me to get anything for you.

796
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,700
Need me to say anything for you.
Need me to talk to anybody for 

797
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:07,300
you need me to pray for anybody.
For you, me me me. 

798
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:09,600
Lay hands, on anybody for you, 
you need me to. 

799
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,600
Waiting on the Lord, just 
waiting on the Lord because 

800
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,200
great waiters. 
Don't just come once they keep 

801
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,000
coming, they keep coming. 
Here's the thing we're going to 

802
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,000
always be going to the Lord. 
For eternity, see a waiter. 

803
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,900
Stays attentive to the ones, 
they serve. 

804
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,300
How do you know if you're 
following? 

805
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:32,500
God is he always first on your 
mind? 

806
00:44:32,700 --> 00:44:33,500
Is he the one that you're 
certain? 

807
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:36,000
When I say - and I like, I know 
God exists and he going to your 

808
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,200
life. 
I mean, he's constant ever. 

809
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:39,700
The thought. 
What do I need to do? 

810
00:44:39,700 --> 00:44:41,900
What should I do, man? 
Let me just stop and do a check.

811
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:45,300
We good today. 
Is there anything I missed? 

812
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,800
I mean I found myself just going
through life and I'm realizing 

813
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,100
wait a minute Lord. 
I need check back in with you 

814
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:51,800
today. 
Maybe you'll find yourself 

815
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,000
getting this some frustrating 
moments. 

816
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:55,500
Moments you say, you know, I 
might have to go to the table 

817
00:44:55,500 --> 00:44:57,700
real quick. 
I need to go wait on the Lord 

818
00:44:57,700 --> 00:45:00,500
because what I'm serving right 
now is not God. 

819
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,900
Let me go back to the table and 
hear what he needs me to have 

820
00:45:06,900 --> 00:45:10,900
and how I need to respond. 
And then you need to understand 

821
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:14,400
this great point. 
And it true with all of us. 

822
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,200
The more you invest in the mill,
the more you expect from the 

823
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,200
service. 
Now, we got some local 

824
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:24,800
restaurants here, that I love 
them back. 

825
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,000
There's one down where I live, 
just passed. 

826
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,200
Marineland, if you go towards 
the hammock as place called, 

827
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:37,200
JT's Seafood, Shack, and it's 
all that it's a shack, right? 

828
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:40,800
Little hole in the wall type 
place right, man, but they 

829
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,500
gossip. 
Hey, got a great shrimp and 

830
00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:45,500
grits, man, it's awesome. 
I love it, I love it. 

831
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,200
My wife and I will pop down 
there, you know, it's a little 

832
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,500
place, a little dive, you know. 
And you know, the That wears 

833
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:56,200
t-shirts, think that maybe wear 
jean shorts or jeans, you know? 

834
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,400
I mean, they're real casual, 
right? 

835
00:45:58,700 --> 00:46:00,800
So you know, if they're not 
popping in hitting, just write 

836
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,500
that day, I get it. 
I expect them to do their job 

837
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:05,400
because their weight or, you 
know, I have an expectation. 

838
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,600
But, you know, I realize that, 
you know, you drop about $12 a 

839
00:46:07,608 --> 00:46:13,800
place, not a big deal. if I go 
over to Ruth's Chris, that's a 

840
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,300
whole nother ball game. 
I'm dropping 50 dollars for a 

841
00:46:17,308 --> 00:46:20,100
steak. 
Don't do it often, but I've done

842
00:46:20,100 --> 00:46:22,600
it. 
I've done it. 

843
00:46:24,500 --> 00:46:27,300
Place 500 Degrees. 
That's what they are. 

844
00:46:27,500 --> 00:46:30,400
So, don't touch him when they 
come out. 

845
00:46:30,900 --> 00:46:34,100
All right, and man, that staff, 
when they come and drop off the 

846
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:38,100
bread and we eat on it, they'll 
come by with this little brush 

847
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,900
and they'll scrape the crumbs 
off the black table called. 

848
00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:46,800
I'm like, what? 
JTA, never scraped. 

849
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,300
One Crumb from a hushpuppy. 
They wait till you get up and 

850
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:52,000
leave. 
Did they wipe the whole table, 

851
00:46:52,500 --> 00:46:55,400
right? 
I didn't care about that, but I 

852
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,800
understand. 
But man, when you drop and they 

853
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,000
are I mean they want to give you
a manicure almost while you do. 

854
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,400
I'll give you a manicure while 
waiting on him. 

855
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,300
I'm like bro. 
No, they don't do that there. 

856
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:07,300
I'm just saying when you're 
paying for something. 

857
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,100
Right. 
That's Irving. 

858
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:19,100
Think about now the more you 
drop in a restaurant experience,

859
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:22,900
the more you expect, you don't 
get my order wrong. 

860
00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:28,500
I should not have to call you. 
Maybe I'm dropping a hundred 

861
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:32,100
dollars just for my meal and I 
have to ask where you at. 

862
00:47:32,700 --> 00:47:36,100
This is a problem. 
Right? 

863
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,100
You don't come in where and you 
know cutoff shorts there. 

864
00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:41,800
I mean you're dressing up a 
little different. 

865
00:47:41,900 --> 00:47:44,700
There's another one called the 
Atlantic Grill down at the 

866
00:47:44,700 --> 00:47:46,900
hammock. 
You can't go in with a hat on 

867
00:47:46,900 --> 00:47:50,700
their golfers are coming in that
place but you don't come on em 

868
00:47:50,700 --> 00:47:52,500
with a hat. 
They got some good food. 

869
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:55,200
Now it's not like Ruth's Chris 
as far as that and then other 

870
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,600
places I've been, you know, 
beyond that you know where they 

871
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,300
said it out and you're like, 
Lord, Jesus help me know which 

872
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:02,300
Fork to pick up right now. 
So I don't look like, I don't 

873
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:10,000
know what I'm doing. 
It's this one, right? 

874
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:11,400
I mean you got to study those 
things. 

875
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:16,300
There's there's there's utensils
ago, our rights while we teach 

876
00:48:16,300 --> 00:48:18,600
our what we gonna teach our 
Washington etiquette class so 

877
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:19,700
that they'll know when they get 
before. 

878
00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:22,000
President one day or prime 
minister, they'll know how to 

879
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000
eat properly. 
When I'm we just real folk 

880
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,200
around here. 
Do you need to get really 

881
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,200
understanding of what company 
you're in and if you're around 

882
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,000
real folk like that, then eat 
that way. 

883
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,800
You know, Paul said I'm all 
things to all people. 

884
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,700
Which means if he got in a crowd
of dignitaries, he didn't act 

885
00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:48,200
like he was from the swamp. 
All right, because Jesus didn't 

886
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,000
you homeboy? 
He'll ask you to come to a 

887
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,300
wedding if you don't dress 
appropriately, he'll kick you 

888
00:48:52,300 --> 00:48:58,900
out right now that we've settled
that So, let me ask this 

889
00:48:58,900 --> 00:49:05,700
question in closing. if we all 
agree that the more we spend on 

890
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:10,000
that Mill, the more we expect 
from our servant, our service, 

891
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:15,100
our, our waiter How much did 
Jesus pay for you? 

892
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:34,500
What was the price tag for you? 
The Bible says that he purchased

893
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:39,200
you, not with perishable things 
like silver and gold, but with 

894
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:45,200
the precious blood of Jesus of 
currency that the world did not 

895
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:50,800
possess, you could not have 
gotten enough, gold, silver, or 

896
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:58,800
any other precious metal Stone. 
Any type of currency to be at a 

897
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,200
pay your debt to God for your 
Transgression. 

898
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:06,400
But it took Holy Blood from God 
himself. 

899
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,900
And he shed that blood to 
purchase you. 

900
00:50:12,900 --> 00:50:14,600
So you could come and be at his 
table. 

901
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:21,100
What do you think his 
expectation of your service to 

902
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:28,700
him? 
Should be I think that 

903
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:33,700
syrophoenician woman, knew 
something about serving like 

904
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:40,100
Ruth's Chris when she said the 
master, even the dogs eat the 

905
00:50:40,108 --> 00:50:44,900
crumbs that fall from their 
master's table Because crime 

906
00:50:44,900 --> 00:50:47,800
should be on your table 
servants. 

907
00:50:47,900 --> 00:50:50,000
You're the ones who wait on, you
should get that off. 

908
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,800
I'm telling you. 
Today, we need to be Kingdom 

909
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:02,200
servers and realize we serve a 
true and living King at is Alive

910
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,900
forevermore seated at the right 
hand of our father and our 

911
00:51:05,900 --> 00:51:08,800
service to him should be without
wavering. 

912
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,900
Because I'm going to tell you 
right now, what's so awesome 

913
00:51:11,900 --> 00:51:15,300
about are serving to God? 
Is that if you showed up at his 

914
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:19,700
table and he realized son, you 
look tired today. 

915
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,000
Hello, Lord. 
I'm out doing your work. 

916
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,800
I'm going to refresh you. 
He can give you a quickening in 

917
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,600
your body. 
He can refresh. 

918
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,300
You the keep you moving. 
He can give you a word that 

919
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:38,500
causes your spirit man to come 
alive and be refreshed a lot of 

920
00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:40,200
times. 
The reason why we quit following

921
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,900
God passionately is because we 
start to listen to our bodies, 

922
00:51:42,900 --> 00:51:45,200
listen to our circumstances. 
Stan's, listen to things and we 

923
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:52,200
forget but he paid a real big 
price for me to wait on him and 

924
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,900
he has real big expectations 
that you'll be able to do the 

925
00:51:55,900 --> 00:51:59,800
job. 
Well because really you're a 

926
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:04,800
reflection of who he is. 
So let's serving with our whole 

927
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,900
heart, everything we do, there's
a work to do a tanker Faith 

928
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:11,100
Church if you're called here. 
And you're already a vision 

929
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:14,500
partner here, you should be 
passionate about Man, I can't 

930
00:52:14,500 --> 00:52:17,600
wait to usher tonight. 
Oh, I'm going to serve my king 

931
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,000
tonight. 
He should be jacked about being 

932
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,700
out in the parking lot. 
Love being with those impetus. 

933
00:52:22,700 --> 00:52:26,300
I don't care how crazy they 
cried today, I'm gonna have a 

934
00:52:26,300 --> 00:52:30,000
great plate of patients tonight 
and long-suffering. 

935
00:52:30,100 --> 00:52:33,000
And we gonna dime with the Lord,
and I'm going to speak into 

936
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,400
their Spirit man's tonight 
because I'm excited. 

937
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:41,300
Not only will I serve them 
Jesus, but then my Lord will 

938
00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:47,600
repay me for tonight's work. 
He'll do it. 

939
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,400
Then when you're out in the 
highways and the byways and you 

940
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,700
are giving people an expression 
of God, you serve him 

941
00:52:56,700 --> 00:52:59,200
diligently. 
Don't bring them a plate. 

942
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,200
That doesn't come from the 
throne room. 

943
00:53:03,900 --> 00:53:06,100
Well, they're not listening, 
they don't want it doesn't 

944
00:53:06,100 --> 00:53:08,000
matter. 
You just keep serving it. 

945
00:53:09,300 --> 00:53:11,800
Eventually, they'll realize how 
great your plate. 

946
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:19,500
Smells They're going to want to 
want what you're serving. 

947
00:53:20,500 --> 00:53:23,900
Just stay at it. 
That's why Saturday, when we go 

948
00:53:23,900 --> 00:53:26,900
out at the football game, we're 
gonna go cause we've been 

949
00:53:26,900 --> 00:53:30,100
waiting on the Lord, when I say 
weighty, don't show up Saturday 

950
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:33,000
because you woke up, not the 
Swiss sleep out of your eyes 

951
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,600
through on your outfit and ran 
over there real quick, and we'll

952
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,800
so ha has so much do I'm here 
now. 

953
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,000
You're not ready for them. 
Get up early, Sandile, or you're

954
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,200
sending me to a community. 
There's people you want me to 

955
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,700
love on. 
There's kids you want me to love

956
00:53:48,700 --> 00:53:50,900
on. 
They've opened up to allow us to

957
00:53:50,900 --> 00:53:52,700
be there and I don't want to 
squander one bit. 

958
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,000
We're open for business today 
and I'm gonna go serving and you

959
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,700
pray before you get up or when 
you get up, you pray in your 

960
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:02,400
out. 
There you begin to prepare 

961
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,500
yourself because it may be that 
you're in the concession and 

962
00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:08,200
they say, I'll take a hot dog 
and you get too hot and already 

963
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,900
and all the Lord says listen. 
Give them something besides 

964
00:54:10,900 --> 00:54:11,700
that. 
Hot dog. 

965
00:54:11,700 --> 00:54:13,900
Go ahead and pray for them 
because their knees hurting 

966
00:54:13,900 --> 00:54:15,200
right now is your knee. 
Hurting. 

967
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,300
Yes, it is. 
How did you know? 

968
00:54:17,300 --> 00:54:19,100
The Lord told me that? 
Can I pray for you? 

969
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:21,700
And I was just coming to get a 
hot dog. 

970
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:23,800
You got hot dog in a healing 
today. 

971
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:37,500
The more passionate you serve 
the king, the more they'll say 

972
00:54:37,900 --> 00:54:42,500
can I have someone? 
So And moms and dads. 

973
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,900
And Little Athletes around say 
man. 

974
00:54:44,900 --> 00:54:47,700
I can't wait till Devin comes 
next, Saturday, I want to see 

975
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:49,400
him. 
I hope he's at the game. 

976
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,100
Because he cheers Me on. 
He tells me, I'm a champion. 

977
00:54:56,500 --> 00:55:01,000
He helps me out. 
He shows him Jesus. 

978
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:06,200
That's what we do. 
There's no way getting around it

979
00:55:07,100 --> 00:55:13,000
because waiting is work. 
But it pays the best because the

980
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,100
king is going to pay you for 
your service, a van.
