little bit about myself. 
Amen. 

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,400
I'm course, Pastor Mike 
associate pastor here at anchor,

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,900
Faith Church started my journey 
with the Lord in 1997. 

15
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:07,700
Hallelujah. 
And he is faithful. 

16
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:16,700
And I remember prior to 1997, 
you know, running the course of 

17
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:25,300
the world. 
BC before Christ, thank God for 

18
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,500
being redeemed, being brought 
out for him to bring us into 

19
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:33,600
purpose, Destiny and greatness. 
I remember that. 

20
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:42,300
I lived in Ohio, the great state
of Ohio, big ten country, Glory 

21
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:47,300
to God, but I remember, you 
know, my senior high school 

22
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:51,000
there was actually a man, 
another senior that a 

23
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400
transferred up named Steve 
Miller and he was actually from 

24
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Florida. 
His dad was a Quaker State oil 

25
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,200
salesman and so he got relocated
to Ohio. 

26
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,900
And I remember connecting with 
Steve, he was a, you know, a 

27
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:11,600
jock, you know, athletic like to
lift course, we like to party. 

28
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:15,300
So we connected doing 
unrighteous things, amen. 

29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,200
But he had a, this is a 1993. 
When I graduated high school 

30
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,600
just to date myself, I'm getting
older. 

31
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:31,300
Praise the Lord, not that old, 
but I do turn 48 this year. 

32
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,700
I thought, wow, I'm going to be 
15 in a couple of years. 

33
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:37,200
Praise the Lord. 
Keep on getting better with the 

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,400
grace of God. 
So anyways, you know, I ran with

35
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
him and but there was some point
after 1993. 

36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,800
I can't remember the exact date 
maybe 95 in the 96 that he gave 

37
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,600
his life to Christ. 
And that was weird to me because

38
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,700
he started talking about Jesus, 
which I was familiar with. 

39
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,100
I grew up in a Catholic Church, 
you know, but I never had a 

40
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:03,700
relationship with the Lord. 
Never read the Bible. 

41
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,500
Never knew him as it's revealed 
to us through the wonderful 

42
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,000
teaching a Ministry. 
Tanker fake church and the other

43
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,900
Ministries I've been associated 
with, okay? 

44
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:14,300
But, you know, one thing you 
never gave up on me. 

45
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:16,700
I know there were others praying
during that time, he kept on 

46
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:20,200
calling me finally, just to 
really get them off my back. 

47
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,100
You see? 
Perseverance Outlast 

48
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,700
persecution. 
So he persevered as well as led 

49
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,600
by the spirit of God and just 
kept on calling me. 

50
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,700
I would I had caller ID at that 
time, this is pre as funny as 

51
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:35,300
pre cell phones. 
Pagers were cool. 

52
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,100
You know, because doctors had 
them. 

53
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:43,800
But I remember dodging, his 
phone calls a lot when I see it 

54
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,600
come up on caller ID. 
But finally, I was like this guy

55
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,400
won't relent he's talking to me 
about at the same time, I was 

56
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,500
working for Worthington, steal. 
My dad was a CPA or a command 

57
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:55,800
for control of her major steel 
factory up there and so I was 

58
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,900
working as a summer Tim and 
there was another guy named 

59
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:01,400
Brian, they were kind of 
tag-teaming me, you know. 

60
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:05,500
And I like Brian he was a real 
CIA, you know, CIA as a 

61
00:04:05,508 --> 00:04:08,200
Christian in action. 
You know, it's an undercover 

62
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,900
agent with a purpose and a 
mission. 

63
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:14,800
And so I remember Brian, you 
know, talking to me, he knew, I 

64
00:04:14,808 --> 00:04:17,200
like to lift weights and 
everything. 

65
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,300
So he start talking about herbs 
and different stuff that may 

66
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:22,300
help me in that. 
And all the sudden he started 

67
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:23,600
sneaking some scripture in 
there. 

68
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,000
You know, the Bible talks about 
different things and so between 

69
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,700
Steve and Brian. 
I'm getting this tag-team, 

70
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:31,600
right? 
But finally, Steve invites me to

71
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,800
go to conference at the Columbus
Convention Center. 

72
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,000
There's a minister there that 
was talking about the divine 

73
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800
revelation to hell. 
So I literally gave my life to 

74
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,000
God because I got the hell. 
Owl scared out of me. 

75
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,500
That's how I came to Christ as 
like, I don't want to go there, 

76
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:50,400
right? 
I mean, she talked about things 

77
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,400
that she saw experienced and 
inhale and I was like that is 

78
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,300
not a place I want to be. 
So let me turn to Christ right? 

79
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,600
And then I remember Brian. 
Invited me to Rhema Christian 

80
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,400
Center, which if you've been 
around anchor Faith Church for 

81
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,100
some time if not I'll fill you 
in my first actual Church 

82
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,200
experience with was with Rama 
Christian Center with Apostle 

83
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,300
Lafayette. 
Scales. 

84
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:16,800
Which has obviously he's been 
here for a couple of our kingdom

85
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400
rise conferences and so, you 
know, Brian invited me there. 

86
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,700
I was able to connect a long 
story, short, Steve Miller and 

87
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:28,300
end up passing away. 
My first year, Bible School from

88
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:35,400
cancer So thankful. 
That he didn't give up on me. 

89
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,300
So anyways, I was went to church
1997 sitting there, you know, 

90
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:48,400
and going to a Catholic Church 
versus a charismatic or Word of 

91
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,700
Faith. 
Or what we may label a 

92
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:52,000
Pentecostal church was way 
different. 

93
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,900
This is primarily a black church
to. 

94
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:57,800
So you know Catholic Church I'm 
doing the water name of the 

95
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,200
father son, Holy Spirit they 
have lady greeters. 

96
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,200
Are there to pick you up off 
your feet when you walk in. 

97
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,400
And welcome you to church. 
Praise the Lord. 

98
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,600
You know. 
So you feel loved, you feel 

99
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200
welcomed by member Apostle 
scales minister in the word and 

100
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,500
I remember just trying to take 
notes, you know, I was like 

101
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400
where's this been my whole life?
You know, I couldn't, I couldn't

102
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,700
keep up. 
I remember one service being 

103
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:21,400
very frustrated, almost 
disappointed, little bit angry 

104
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,400
with my experience, prior with 
what I'll call religion, not 

105
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,600
knowing the truth because really
the reality came I was not saved

106
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,500
then I thought just going to 
church. 

107
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:37,300
You know, got me into heaven, 
you know, with that was false 

108
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:38,900
reality in a false narrative, 
you know. 

109
00:06:38,908 --> 00:06:41,900
So you know I'm processing a lot
of that but I'm bringing all 

110
00:06:41,908 --> 00:06:44,100
this up because the church is so
important. 

111
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:49,200
And you want to be where God 
sets you and I believe that God 

112
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,600
really set me at Rhema Christian
Center for a season. 

113
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Then, in 1998, I just knew in my
heart that I needed to go. 

114
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,300
Get some further, training 
didn't have a visitation, from 

115
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:00,600
an angel, didn't get a prophetic
word, just knew my spirit, that 

116
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,100
there was there was more. 
God was calling me to. 

117
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,700
Are right. 
So, my mom was listening to 

118
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:09,600
Kenneth Copeland lot. 
And Kenneth Hagin, she used to 

119
00:07:09,608 --> 00:07:12,100
get the word of faith magazines.
And obviously, they at that 

120
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,500
time, they, I think they still 
advertise this slogan. 

121
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800
Maybe they've changed a little 
bit, but chain train up, 

122
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,000
laborers for the end time 
Harvest, and I just knew it was 

123
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,900
a good Ministry. 
Solid ministry, didn't know a 

124
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:25,000
ton about them knew, they loved 
God, knew they live by the 

125
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,500
spirit knew that had a great 
spirit of faith. 

126
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,600
And so in 1998, I went there to 
go to Bible school and thank God

127
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,300
fall on the planet. 
God is wonderful. 

128
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,600
You know, the bible promises a 
Matthew 6:33. 

129
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
If you seek first, the kingdom 
of God and his righteousness, 

130
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,000
everything will be added to you.
You know? 

131
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:48,300
So I go to Bible School in 1998,
you know, that was another eye 

132
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:50,500
opener as you're going through, 
you know, four hours a day of 

133
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:53,600
training, five days a week and 
getting the the download of the 

134
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,500
word, you know, things that are 
like you're like wow. 

135
00:07:56,500 --> 00:08:00,500
You know, it's like eating filet
mignon, every day spiritually, 

136
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:03,200
you know, with a loaded baked 
potato and some cheesecake for 

137
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,600
dessert. 
Where one those bacon cupcakes? 

138
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600
At Stacy makes. 
Praise the Lord. 

139
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,500
I didn't know bacon, a cupcakes 
went together, but it's good. 

140
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:18,800
Nice try. 
But getting that download every 

141
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,400
day man it was so rich. 
You know? 

142
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,500
And you know so I was there and 
obviously I was attending Rhema 

143
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:27,300
Bible Church and going to the 
college obviously. 

144
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:30,500
Thank God going through that 
process. 

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,700
The second year, you know, I 
really wanted to meet a spouse. 

146
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,500
At Rhema. 
And I almost gave up hope I'm 

147
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:44,400
like halfway through my second 
year and, you know, I said, 

148
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Lord, I had this conversation 
myself. 

149
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:50,600
I'm going to go back to 
Columbus, Ohio and just serve 

150
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800
Rhema Christian Center in any 
capacity. 

151
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,300
I could. 
That was my heart because as 

152
00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:00,600
like, this may not happen at 
Rhema, you know, it'll be great 

153
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,700
to find a wife there. 
You know, because Same Spirit of

154
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:08,500
Faith same teaching, you know, 
and you know, the Bible said he 

155
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:11,700
finds a good wife, wife finds a 
good thing, I'm seeking first, 

156
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,500
the kingdom of God, and his 
righteousness, so that all 

157
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,800
things to me. 
So I got to find a good thing 

158
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,400
according to Matthew 6633, 
right? 

159
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,700
So this is your promise God. 
So after that prayer, they'll lo

160
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,000
and behold, once I think I Get 
mine heart and more of an 

161
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,200
unselfish humble attitude, you 
know, lo and behold my wonderful

162
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:38,700
wife and Jazz able to meet her. 
Thank God, she's stuck with me. 

163
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:42,900
My first conversation with her. 
I knew that a man paid for 

164
00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:48,900
dinner. 
So, I asked her, I said, hey, do

165
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:50,900
you want to go out on a date 
with me? 

166
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:54,300
Actually, we had it, we had to 
do a date for one of our family 

167
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:57,900
classes at Rhema, it was 
mandated yet to take somebody of

168
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:03,800
the opposite sex out. 
Born a male born a female. 

169
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,400
I didn't really good that not to
into seals Italian restaurant. 

170
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,800
I had a white shirt on didn't 
spill a lick of spaghetti or 

171
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,800
spaghetti sauce on me. 
It's been a wreck since then but

172
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,300
But I asked her when I asked her
I said, hey, you want to go out?

173
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:29,500
She said, yes, and I said, hey 
I'm going to wait two weeks, I 

174
00:10:29,508 --> 00:10:34,100
don't get paid for another two 
weeks. 

175
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:40,600
She had faith in me, you know? 
Women. 

176
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:44,700
A man needs a job in order to be
a husband, right? 

177
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:51,200
No job, no Pursuit. 
But she had faith in me how to 

178
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,600
see you, even though I said that
to her. 

179
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,400
But so obviously, you know, 
we're there after we graduate in

180
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,600
2000, we're just seeking God and
God will lead you, right? 

181
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,500
The first we prayed about 
things, obviously, I asked her 

182
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:07,900
to marry me and met right before
commencement of graduation from 

183
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:11,000
Rhema. 
You know, went through all their

184
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,600
honorable stuff faster. 
Dad asked her mom got all the 

185
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,500
permission or Mom. 
Want us to wait a year, which 

186
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:16,800
was fine. 
Right? 

187
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:20,100
Then after we got married. 
Read with prayed about what God 

188
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,000
wants to be, told to take a 
year, don't do anything. 

189
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,200
You know, you get out of Bible 
School, you kind of ready to go 

190
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,900
and we found a verse in the Old 
Testament said, in the first 

191
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:29,700
year and the Jewish custom, they
took a year off, the parents 

192
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:33,800
actually paid for it. 
Wouldn't that be nice today? 

193
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,200
Hallelujah, for the merge 
because you know, there's a 

194
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:44,200
merge Hallelujah and a marriage 
covenant. 

195
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:48,500
Right. 
Okay. 

196
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:52,500
So anyways, we took that year 
off, but as we're praying things

197
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:56,700
out, we obviously would graduate
pastoral Marcy in 2000, they had

198
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:59,000
came to Florida because they had
in their heart. 

199
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,200
Let's do something for God. 
God brought them all the way 

200
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,800
back to Oklahoma to be youth 
pastors for Pastor David E, my 

201
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,400
Word of Life Church. 
So we were able to stay 

202
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,900
connected with them actually 
went and did one that they're 

203
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,500
young adults Ministries. 
I remember that we fellowship 

204
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,600
with them. 
They finally launched the vision

205
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,600
for us an anchor. 
Church in 2004. 

206
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,900
After they got Pastor David hee,
hee, hee - blessing. 

207
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:22,300
See when when God calls, you 
somewhere the senior pastor, be 

208
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:24,700
able to bless it. 
You don't be like, Nicodemus in 

209
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:29,200
the middle of night and leave. 
So Pastor David E my after 

210
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,600
Pastor showed him, the vision 
totem was on his heart. 

211
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,100
Gave the blessing. 
You know, obviously moved to 

212
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:37,000
Florida and I moved to Florida. 
Why am I bringing this all up? 

213
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Because it's a good testimony, 
but I want to launch out there 

214
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,400
from Ephesians chapter 4. 
The fusions chapter 4. 

215
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,800
I say that because I've only 
been in three churches Right? 

216
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,300
And the last 20. 
What is that three years? 

217
00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:01,400
24 years and the local body 
church has made a huge 

218
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,700
difference. 
Matter of fact, it's God 

219
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,500
ordained. 
And you are missing out. 

220
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:11,200
If you're not where God puts you
And set you. 

221
00:13:11,900 --> 00:13:15,700
Okay, before we launch out in 
Ephesians, chapter 4, you know, 

222
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:20,300
God is the master architect, God
is the master builder, the 

223
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:23,400
master designer and God has a 
plan and purpose, the Old 

224
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,200
Testament. 
He and, and First Corinthians 

225
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,100
chapter 10 talks about the Old 
Testament Saints, they were 

226
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:31,500
reality, their real-life stories
that happen, but he said they're

227
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,100
written for the admonition 
admonition of us. 

228
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,800
Right. 
And so, we look at the Old 

229
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,300
Testament. 
We see that in Exodus. 

230
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:41,400
There was a nation in bondage, 
right? 

231
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:44,900
But then God said, I'm going to 
take that Nation out of bondage,

232
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:47,300
right? 
So we see the deliverer Moses 

233
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:50,000
raised up. 
Exodus 1 through 19, there's 40 

234
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:53,100
chapters in The Book of Exodus. 
Exodus 1 through 19 S really 

235
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:56,700
historical and content about the
10 plagues and how God used 

236
00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:00,000
Moses to go before Pharaoh for 
their release of his people. 

237
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,600
But then it and from Exodus 22, 
Exodus 40 God in his 

238
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,500
Architecture ability in his 
master blueprint says, I'm 

239
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:12,100
bringing you out. 
Now, say he didn't say, I'm 

240
00:14:12,108 --> 00:14:14,400
bring you into heaven, I'm 
bringing you out of a place of 

241
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,400
bondage to bring you into a 
promised land. 

242
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:21,800
And if you've been with anchor, 
Faith Church for any period of 

243
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,000
time, you understand that 
salvation, let me say lordship 

244
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:30,200
is just not about when we get to
heaven, it impacts us now and 

245
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,100
there's a stories in the Old 
Testament where there was a 

246
00:14:33,108 --> 00:14:36,200
pilgrimage there was a journey. 
There was a purpose for these 

247
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,600
Old Testament Saints even though
they're in Covenant relate for 

248
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,900
the God he said I have a plan 
for you in the ER Earth and I'll

249
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:44,900
be with you in your journey and 
this is how I want you to live 

250
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,600
it out. 
So Exodus 20 through, 40 said, 

251
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,400
listen Moses, I don't want your 
opinion, I don't want your 

252
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,000
advice. 
Here's the blueprint and he says

253
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,100
you've been living in a world 
where there's no morality, 

254
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,700
there's no worship everything 
you've experienced. 

255
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:01,600
Is not how I want you to live or
live for me and you know, BC I 

256
00:15:01,608 --> 00:15:06,400
had a life BC, it's amazing. 
I thank God for Washington are 

257
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,700
classical Christian school 
because they do memorization by 

258
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:13,400
song. 
Inseong stick with you, you 

259
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,300
know, I heard AC/DC song not too
long ago at the gym. 

260
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:18,900
It's amazing. 
How you can just re-quote, that 

261
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,800
that's something I listen to 
BBC. 

262
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:26,100
I was a mess PC. 
My son, Jacob. 

263
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:28,300
I remember kind of arguing with 
him when he's in high school. 

264
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:30,500
You take on the characteristics 
of any music. 

265
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:33,300
You listen to no dad. 
No. 

266
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:37,900
Well when I was listening to rap
music I wasn't wearing cowboy 

267
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:42,500
boots and a cowboy hat. 
Run DMC. 

268
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,900
That was my time right when I 
got into rock music, right. 

269
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:55,300
I wasn't wearing rap stuff some 
trying to settle my arguing with

270
00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:55,700
him. 
You know. 

271
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:57,900
You take on the characteristics 
of what you permit. 

272
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:01,200
The atmosphere you permit is 
what's the result of it, right? 

273
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,100
So anyways, God said you've 
experienced a lot BC, but I'm 

274
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,400
going to set up on this Earth 
how you were to live for me. 

275
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,900
So next it is 20 right off the 
bat. 

276
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:13,500
He gives a 10 commandments. 
He lays down a new moral law. 

277
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,300
Exodus 21 through 23 talks about
a civil law. 

278
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:19,500
This is how you're going to 
interact with one another. 

279
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:23,500
What happens? 
If a sheep gets taken, what 

280
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,400
happens? 
If there's a kidnapping, but 

281
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,900
then exit is 25 to 40. 
He spends the most time on the 

282
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:29,300
ceremonial law. 
This is how you're going to 

283
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:31,700
worship me. 
We don't come to God on our own 

284
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:34,200
accord and say this, the Bible 
in the New Testament to bring it

285
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,800
through the crosses, those that 
worship Him must worship me in 

286
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,900
spirit, and in truth. 
So God, sets the standard for 

287
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:45,800
the culture. 
Of how he wants us to live for 

288
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,600
him and there is a journey on 
the earth. 

289
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,100
The great thing about Exodus 
that we can bring into tonight 

290
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,900
is just like you had a plan for 
Moses and he there was Twelve 

291
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:57,500
Tribes and God such an 
organizer. 

292
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,300
If your life is a mess, he'll 
make it a message but he takes 

293
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:04,900
disorder and brings order. 
He takes chaos and brings 

294
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:06,700
Clarity. 
The Bible says, in Psalm says, 

295
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:09,800
word is a lamp to our feet and a
light to our path. 

296
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:12,800
Right? 
So he starts getting everything 

297
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,099
in order you've been living in 
Egypt, under pharaohs rule. 

298
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:18,099
What he eats. 
What he says, what they listen 

299
00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:20,900
to how they talk. 
Now I'm bringing you out and God

300
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:22,300
always brings you out. 
He said I'm but I'm going to 

301
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,800
bring you in God just never 
brings you out of Egypt to leave

302
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,700
you in the wilderness. 
God brought them out to bring 

303
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:30,500
them into Canaan land which is a
land of more than enough God 

304
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,000
called it a sweet life. 
It's going to be flowing with 

305
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,500
milk and honey and God's got a 
milk and honey life for us. 

306
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,800
John 10:10 says, I came to give 
you life and to give it to you 

307
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,300
more. 
Gently, he came to give us more 

308
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:45,300
life. 
Right. 

309
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,600
But he said you got to do it by 
my way, by my rules, by my laws.

310
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,600
And so he gets the 12 tribes, 
right? 

311
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:54,900
And now the 12 tribes. 
He said, I want three on the 

312
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,300
north three on the south, three 
on the East three on the west, 

313
00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:00,600
God puts his design for what we 
call the Tabernacle of Moses 

314
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:04,300
which had an outer Court, holy 
place in the holies of holies 

315
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,800
and you know the tribes didn't 
get to decide where they Lord, I

316
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,800
want to be on these side. 
No God said I'm setting you 

317
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,400
where I want you and within 
those Twelve Tribes you realize 

318
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,400
there was responsibilities 
within each tribe to perform one

319
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,100
of those tribes of tribe of 
Levi. 

320
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:28,000
And, you know, the Levites 
didn't work. 

321
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,900
Their responsibility was to take
care of the Tabernacle tonight, 

322
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:38,600
I'm going to talk to you about 
Ministry gifts. 

323
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,400
What is a Ministry if I just 
wanted to find that real quick, 

324
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,600
a Ministry gift is somebody that
God has set in the body. 

325
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:52,200
That is not working a secular 
job, but a sacred job. 

326
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,900
I'm going to give you some 
scriptures. 

327
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:58,100
Go with me to 1st Corinthians 9.
God. 

328
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:03,700
Sorry I'm this is later in my 
notes, but they should be able 

329
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:08,300
to get their first Corinthians 
chapter 9. now, you know, when I

330
00:19:08,308 --> 00:19:12,900
grew up in religion I knew 
nothing about Ministry gifts, 

331
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,700
but thank God for Revelation and
Truth. 

332
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:19,000
Amen. 
So, First Corinthians chapter 9,

333
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:23,100
I'm going to bring the scripture
up again later, but it says, am 

334
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,100
I not an apostle? 
This is the Apostle Paul 

335
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,900
talking, am I not an apostle, 
which an apostle is one of the 

336
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:29,800
ministry gifts. 
There's five Ministry gifts, 

337
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,500
which I'll get back to Ephesians
4 shortly. 

338
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:34,200
But Paul said, am I not an 
apostle? 

339
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,200
Am I not free? 
Have I not seen Jesus Christ, 

340
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,200
Our Lord, are you not my work in
the Lord? 

341
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,900
If I'm not Apostle to others yet
doubtless, I am to you for. 

342
00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:51,600
You are the Seal of my 
apostleship in the Lord, my 

343
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,800
defense to those who examine me 
as this. 

344
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,900
So people are saying, is Paul 
really an apostle. 

345
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,400
He said, do we not have a right 
to eat and drink? 

346
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,200
Do we not have a right to take 
along a believing wife as Duo as

347
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,300
do? 
The other Apostles also. 

348
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:09,200
Like sea fish stores, only 
Barnabas and I who have no right

349
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,500
to refrain from working. 
Whoever goes to war at his own 

350
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:15,100
expense, who plants a Vineyard 
and does not eat of its fruit. 

351
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:18,800
So Paul's making a case. 
He's saying, listen, if I plant 

352
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,300
a Vineyard, can I not even if 
it's fruit? 

353
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:25,200
Right? 
Or who tends A Flock is, do not 

354
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,100
drink of the milk. 
Now he's going to reference, 

355
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:31,900
this is an Old Testament, 
scripture verse 9, do I not say 

356
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:35,100
these things as a mere man. 
This first date or do not does 

357
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,700
not the law, say the same also. 
So he's referring back to Allah 

358
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:40,100
Moses. 
Verse 9 says, for as it is 

359
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:42,700
written in the law of Moses, you
shalt not muzzle. 

360
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:46,700
The ox while Treads out. 
The grain is God is Ock as his 

361
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:48,800
oxen. 
All God is concerned about. 

362
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:52,100
He is referenced in the 
fivefold, ministry in that verse

363
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:57,800
He saying those that preach the 
gospel live by the gospel. 

364
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:00,700
Go with me to Galatians chapter 
6. 

365
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,500
Hallelujah. 
We're lie. 

366
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:08,400
When I was reading this day. 
Thank God for Revelation 

367
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,000
knowledge because even though 
I've been walking with God since

368
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,300
1997, we I'm still growing 
Pastor. 

369
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:19,900
Earle has this statement that 
all of us should make I'm going 

370
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:23,000
to be better five years from 
today than I am. 

371
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Now, Hill says, I'm gonna be a 
better Pastor in five years from

372
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,500
now than I am today, you should 
make that. 

373
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,200
I'm going to be a better wife, a
better mother, a better a 

374
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,600
better, father, write a better 
business person, whatever it is,

375
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,400
you should make that same 
confession, right life and death

376
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,200
is where, in the power of our 
tongue. 

377
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,100
This is the year of raining, 
resonance where we are to speak 

378
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:48,300
into Claire's not. 
Oh, things are getting worse. 

379
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:51,700
No, I'm growing. 
Why did I bring all that up? 

380
00:21:51,708 --> 00:21:54,200
Because you're growing if you're
through growing your through 

381
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:59,100
It's what you count after, you 
know, everything that matters. 

382
00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:04,800
Right, there's humility, right? 
We should all be pliable and 

383
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,500
teachable and continue to learn.
So, I saw something in Galatians

384
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:11,600
today, that really don't, I 
don't have my notes but this is 

385
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,200
really a role of a pastor verse.
Go to Galatians chapter 6 and 

386
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,600
then I'm going to tie it in with
First Corinthians 9 because I 

387
00:22:17,608 --> 00:22:19,600
want to have at least two or 
three Witnesses from scripture 

388
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,200
that of fivefold, Minister makes
their living from the gospel. 

389
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:26,100
All right. 
So I'm going to tie this 

390
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:29,400
together a little bit, the role 
of a past or though too because 

391
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,600
there's a Reconciliation that's 
happened in this verse it says 

392
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,400
brother and of a man has 
overtaken in a truss pass. 

393
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:38,200
What's a trespass? 
God, we have a sign on our 

394
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,700
property, you know? 
No trespassing. 

395
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,100
Which means there are, there's a
boundary you're not supposed to 

396
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:49,000
go past that point, right? 
If you do guess what you 

397
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,400
violated? 
That law for that command and it

398
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,100
can cost you, right? 
Some people got dogs, some 

399
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:59,800
people got guns. 
So don't trust pass. 

400
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,900
How much more with God though if
we trust past what he said, you 

401
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:08,500
know, God's way is the best way.
He said you know, don't commit 

402
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:10,000
adultery. 
Guess what? 

403
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,800
If you go past that line, guess 
what that would do? 

404
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:16,200
That's destruction. 
Why does God draw lines? 

405
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,100
For our protection because 
there's a purpose and there's a 

406
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:23,800
Destiny said, if you go past 
that you're going to get off 

407
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,400
course, it could cost you your 
life, right? 

408
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:31,100
So he says Brethren if a man be 
overtaken in a trespass, you who

409
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:34,000
are spiritual restore, such a 
one in the spirit of gentleness 

410
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,800
considering yourself. 
Lest you also be tempted, carry 

411
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,900
one another's burdens and so 
fulfill the law of Christ. 

412
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:41,900
If anyone thinks himself to be 
something when he is nothing, he

413
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:44,400
deceives himself. 
But let each one examine his own

414
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,200
work and then he will have 
rejoicing in himself alone. 

415
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,900
Not another each one should 
carry his own load, and then 

416
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:54,100
verse 6 says, it's are really 
saw this today in the light. 

417
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,900
This is a general principle but 
I saw the anointing upon a 

418
00:23:56,908 --> 00:24:03,400
pastor to do these verses. 
Verse. 

419
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,600
And you know, when when it comes
to hermeneutics or Bible 

420
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:12,300
interpretation, any text out of 
context, becomes a pretext You 

421
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:16,000
could take any verse in the 
Bible and twist it, distort it 

422
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,200
to try to fit anything you want 
to. 

423
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,200
There's a verse in the Bible 
that said Judas hung himself. 

424
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,600
There's another verse in the 
Bible says, go and do likewise, 

425
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:33,000
but they're not in context with 
one another Stream Point, but So

426
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,800
taking that together verse 6 
says, let him who is taught the 

427
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,400
word. 
Are you being taught the word 

428
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,100
tonight? 
What's that nuts? 

429
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:49,800
Once a share, And all good 
things with him. 

430
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,500
Who teaches. 
What's that talking about? 

431
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:56,100
There's giving we're going to 
have tithe and offering later. 

432
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:03,400
You that are taught the word you
can share with those that are 

433
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,500
teaching you, right. 
How do I know? 

434
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:07,800
It says do not be deceived, God 
is Not mocked for whatever 

435
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,300
manso's that, will he read? 
So, there's a general principle.

436
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:15,300
So in reaping, what he's talking
about. 

437
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,200
You know, giving right there. 
Okay? 

438
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,400
For He Who sews his flesh, shall
of the flesh reap corruption, 

439
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,400
but he was suspect will of the 
spirit reap everlasting life. 

440
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,300
Let us not grow. 
Weary in well-doing for in due 

441
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:30,000
season, we shall reap. 
You know, God's awesome. 

442
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,800
Whatever you sow, you're going 
to reap. 

443
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,900
If you give your tithe, he said,
open up the windows of heaven 

444
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,000
and pour you out a blessing. 
It's not just for the ministry 

445
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,800
to go on, it's for the personal 
benefit of your life to God. 

446
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,000
So awesome in his planning that 
it enriches the vision and 

447
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,900
expands the vision, but it also 
blesses your personal life. 

448
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:48,800
Let me This, I remember 
listening to brother Hagin. 

449
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,400
Kenneth E Hagin, who founded the
Bible school? 

450
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,500
Now Kenneth his son Kenneth W. 
Hagin runs it. 

451
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,700
But I remember listen about 
tithing often and there was a 

452
00:25:57,700 --> 00:26:01,000
time he was ministering, they 
were staying at the pastor's 

453
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,500
house in the parsonage, the 
pastor left. 

454
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:04,900
He said we didn't have anything 
to eat. 

455
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:06,900
Like you're, you know, you feel 
like your stomach's from your 

456
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:10,100
backbone and he's thinking. 
Surely is this pastor is going 

457
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:11,800
to take care of me and he's 
going to complain. 

458
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Lord, you told me to do this, 
we're like broke barely getting 

459
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,200
to the meetings. 
His wife saying you know where 

460
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,800
is God's faith when they see. 
You know, it's a said just stick

461
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,800
with me. 
And God is faithful to his word 

462
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:26,800
and he said, overtime. 
Now God took care of them during

463
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,600
that lean time. 
But then they got to the point 

464
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,500
where she had like seven mink 
coats decades down the road. 

465
00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:37,500
But you know what? 
Money never had him. 

466
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,200
He had money but it never had 
him, right? 

467
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:46,100
So let's go to Philippians 
chapter 4, let's get a third 

468
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:50,100
witness on this real quick and 
then we'll go back to Ephesians 

469
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,900
and talk about Ministry gifts. 
Philippians chapter 4. 

470
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:59,300
Once Again, taking everything in
context, everybody's hurt 

471
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:01,300
Philippians 4:13. 
Can you quote it with me? 

472
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:07,900
It's great. 
We're having choir tryouts. 

473
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:11,200
That was great Unity, let's all 
say it again. 

474
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,700
I'm just kidding with you. 
Philippians 4:13, the eye. 

475
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,100
So what's the Apostle Paul 
talking about that verse? 

476
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:24,000
Let's back up to verse 10 and c 
and put it in context, right? 

477
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,500
He says this started verse 10, 
but I rejoiced in the Lord 

478
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:29,200
greatly that. 
Now at last your care for me, 

479
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,100
has flourished again that though
you surely did care but you 

480
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,500
lacked opportunity. 
How do they care where they 

481
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:38,700
sending them cards, and email 
text messages? 

482
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:42,000
Obviously they didn't have 
phones back then but what were 

483
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
they? 
Well how did they express their 

484
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,500
care for him? 
Right he said not that it's re 

485
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:53,700
speak in regard to need If I 
have learned, this isn't a book 

486
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:58,000
experience, this is actually 
walking out the word of God and 

487
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
just like Kenneth E. 
Hagin said you stick with me. 

488
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,000
God's going to take care of us. 
We're going to be faithful. 

489
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
We're going to tithe. 
We're going to give offerings. 

490
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,700
We're going to do the will of 
God and any born-again believer 

491
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:10,200
child of God. 
If they just do that, God is 

492
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,500
going to accelerate you in life.
now, when I say do the word, the

493
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:20,100
word talks about where there's 
lack, there's or whether slack, 

494
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:24,500
there's lack in Proverbs, So you
want to tie the you want to give

495
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:26,500
your offering as God leads you, 
but you want to be a blessing 

496
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:32,800
when you go to work, because if 
you're have slack at work, guess

497
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,600
what? 
There's going to be lack? 

498
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,500
Maybe another form of 
employment. 

499
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,000
So these things work. 
There's a there's keys to the 

500
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,700
kingdom. 
You think about Joseph? 

501
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:46,100
What did he do? 
He brought us solution to a dire

502
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:49,900
need? 
Okay, but Paul said, back to 

503
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:52,100
flipping said, I've learned just
like brother Hagin said we're 

504
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:54,600
going to learn that God is 
faithful. 

505
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,000
I've learned how to be content, 
whether I got to meet code or 

506
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,800
not, I've learned how to be 
content, right? 

507
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:03,600
In whatever state I am. 
I know how to be abased. 

508
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,300
I know how to be abound 
everywhere. 

509
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:07,700
In all things I've learned how 
to both to be full and had a 

510
00:29:07,700 --> 00:29:09,600
hunger, both too bad, how to 
suffer need. 

511
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,900
Then our verse I can do all 
things through Christ. 

512
00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:15,700
Who strengthens me really in 
context, this is about finances 

513
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:19,300
read on. 
You have done, you have done. 

514
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:20,700
Well, that you shared in my 
distress. 

515
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:23,600
What did they share? 
You Philippians know that in the

516
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,600
beginning of the Gospel. 
When I departed from Macedonia, 

517
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,200
no, church share with me, 
concerning giving and receiving.

518
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,800
But you only pause the same one 
that we're First Corinthians. 9,

519
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,300
don't trust, don't muzzle. 
The ox that treadeth out. 

520
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:37,600
The corn. 
He was he was a five-fold 

521
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,500
minister who made his living by 
the gospel. 

522
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:43,100
Now he didn't mind working a 
secular job to get, there was a 

523
00:29:43,108 --> 00:29:44,800
time. 
When there was an offering is 

524
00:29:44,808 --> 00:29:48,600
coming in, he had to do tent 
meeting tent making In a side 

525
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,100
job just to support himself and 
a True Heart of a 5-4 ministers.

526
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:56,800
Going to do whatever it takes. 
There was a season in this 

527
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,300
ministry, where we're pretty 
lean and Pastor looked at the 

528
00:30:00,308 --> 00:30:04,100
whole staff. 
He said, I can't pay you all. 

529
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:08,100
Y'all can go do whatever you do,
make to make it to make it work.

530
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,900
And guess what? 
We piece together, jobs. 

531
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,200
I'm not saying that to bolster 
to brag but I mean we were we 

532
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,100
were working where we could. 
I remember doing side cleaning 

533
00:30:18,100 --> 00:30:20,300
jobs but still coming into the 
office. 

534
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,600
To get the ministry done now, 
guess what? 

535
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:29,700
We're going to do. 
Whatever it takes, I'll go back 

536
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:35,000
to that if I have to Right. 
But you the the body of Christ. 

537
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,500
Mitch true. 
Misses out on the rich blessing.

538
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:41,800
And you know where your money is
your treasure, or where your 

539
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,100
treasure, is there, your heart 
is. 

540
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:47,900
There was just an event. 
We went to several weeks ago, my

541
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:50,600
wife and I did, and they were 
expecting a certain turnout and 

542
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,000
had a lot less, but the event 
was for free. 

543
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,300
And I thought what Ed Cole and 
talked about during this event 

544
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,000
back when they were doing 
meetings for the Christian means

545
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,300
Network. 
At one time. 

546
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:04,400
He didn't charge anything for 
his events either and God dealt 

547
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,600
with them. 
He said people will commit when 

548
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,100
there's money involved. 
His heart was rise. 

549
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:14,200
Like I just want to get this 
word out, but the command he 

550
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,000
found out that more people 
showed up when they made a 

551
00:31:16,008 --> 00:31:17,900
financial. 
Because you guess what? 

552
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:22,100
Where your money is there? 
Your heart is hallelujah. 

553
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,600
So he said, you are the only one
to share with me concerning. 

554
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,200
Give her seam free, even if 
that's an Ikea, you sent me Aid 

555
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,300
once. 
And again, not that I seek the 

556
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:34,000
gift. 
This is the heart of a true 

557
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:36,600
Ministry gift. 
Not that I seek the gift. 

558
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:40,700
I mean you've even heard it said
if you don't want to give don't 

559
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:44,200
give nobody's forcing you to. 
Matter of fact I don't want you,

560
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:45,600
here's the real connection with 
you. 

561
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,100
Make when you give give 
cheerfully, I'd say if you can't

562
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:52,400
give cheerfully, don't give 
until you can give cheerfully 

563
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:59,600
I'm of every smile when they do 
their time and offer night and 

564
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,100
if you don't want to give this 
smile, anyways, me mad at you. 

565
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,000
He said, not that, I seek the 
gift, but I seek the fruit that 

566
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,800
abounds to your account. 
Indeed, I have all about them, 

567
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,700
full have received from 
epaphroditus, the things you 

568
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:19,400
sent a now. 
Listen, this is a sweet smelling

569
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,000
fragrance, think about that when
you put that in the bucket 

570
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,400
tonight, that's just not giving 
Max a sweet-smelling exchange of

571
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,100
faith. 
To God. 

572
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:31,400
Holiness. 
Right. 

573
00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:36,900
And verse 19, we know this, 
everybody wants to quote this 

574
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:38,100
verse put in their fridge, 
right? 

575
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:42,200
And my God shall supply. 
All of my needs. 

576
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,800
God Wants. 
You supplying all my needs? 

577
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,300
Are you doing the verses prior? 
We just want about conditions, 

578
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:51,000
right? 
You can say men are owe me. 

579
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,600
okay, if he's in chapter 4, 
Verses 7 through 14. 

580
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:01,800
It says but unto every every one
of us now this is Paul writing 

581
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,500
to the Ephesian church and I 
want you to really get this. 

582
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:10,700
Are you a born-again spirit 
filled blood-bought believer? 

583
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:16,100
Are you a born again? 
Blood bot. 

584
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:20,600
Spirit filled believer. 
I got several people I say 

585
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,800
again. 
Are you born again? 

586
00:33:24,700 --> 00:33:28,800
Redeemed confess Jesus is Lord 
believer. 

587
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:35,100
So this is for you. 
Because what Paul is writing on 

588
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:37,300
the inspiration of the Holy 
Spirit to the church at Ephesus 

589
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:39,200
is for us at anchor Faith Church
today. 

590
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:45,300
God was able to see in time and 
only been bless the church at 

591
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:47,700
Ephesus, but know that this 
would be delivered tonight. 

592
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:52,400
So, every one of us, just not 
the fivefold ministry to 

593
00:33:52,400 --> 00:34:00,600
everyone of us is given Grace. 
To the measure of the gift of 

594
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,400
Christ, there's Grace for your 
gift. 

595
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,900
People think a Grace is just 
saving grace, that's only one 

596
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:17,000
side of Grace. 
Let me talk to you about what 

597
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,400
Grace? 
Let me tell you what Grace is 

598
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,000
not Grace is not ability to 
fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

599
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:29,900
Paul wrote right into the room 
and said, should I should I sin 

600
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:34,400
to try to make grace abound? 
He said no, may it never be. 

601
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,699
Grace is not sin now and ask for
forgiveness later. 

602
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,600
Grace is not disgrace, which 
disgrace is not a god-honoring 

603
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,000
life. 
I'll put it this way. 

604
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,300
Grace is not greasy. 
I could say lasciviousness 

605
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:59,000
lasciviousness talks about in 
Proverbs means, anything goes, 

606
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:01,600
you know, in the world today 
which were not. 

607
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,700
We're in the world but guess 
what we've been born again? 

608
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:06,700
We're not. 
We don't operate to the kingdom 

609
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,500
World System. 
We operate. 

610
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:12,700
It took according to the kingdom
of God, and in the world, guess 

611
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:15,600
what they're doing? 
Or trying to make anything go. 

612
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:20,200
And that's greasy. 
And that's outside, the 

613
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,000
boundaries, the parameter the 
standard, the culture that God 

614
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,900
has said And that is not Grace. 
Grace is not Divine permission 

615
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:31,900
to do. 
What is wrong? 

616
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:34,300
Grace is divine power to do. 
What is right? 

617
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:42,500
Grace is God's activity. 
In your life, Grace is God's 

618
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:47,200
operational power in your life 
and he said to each one of us 

619
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,500
Grace is given according to the 
gift, you got to realize, 

620
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:53,000
there's a gift in you. 
You can't give yourself as a 

621
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,400
gift if you don't see yourself 
as a gift and I'm telling you by

622
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,100
the Holy Ghost. 
Right now some of you got to 

623
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:03,700
work on your identity. 
We've all of us have been 

624
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:06,400
through tough times or may have 
come out of tough situations but

625
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,700
it is no excuse for you. 
Not to take. 

626
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,900
Take personal responsibility and
get in the word. 

627
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:15,000
That is not God's 
responsibility. 

628
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:19,900
Romans 12 says, verse 1 and 2 
says, now listen to the Old 

629
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:22,400
Testament and that we have the 
outer core, the holy place of 

630
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,200
holies of holies they live. 
It literally the first thing 

631
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,300
they had to do was a sacrifice 
team to get to the holy place to

632
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:32,000
get in the holies of holies. 
But Paul references, God's 

633
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,400
Master blueprint and Romans 
chapter 12, verses 1 and 2. 

634
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:43,300
He said you present your body a 
Living Sacrifice He said don't 

635
00:36:43,300 --> 00:36:47,000
be conformed to this world, but 
be transformed by the renewing 

636
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
of your mind. 
So spiritually, God's done 

637
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,400
things for you, but we know we 
are a three-part being 

638
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,800
spiritually. 
I couldn't redeem myself. 

639
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,200
I couldn't save myself. 
I couldn't deliver myself. 

640
00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:00,100
I couldn't make myself a new 
creation, but Jesus Christ, the 

641
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:03,700
King of Kings, and the Lord of 
lords, the Holy One without 

642
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:05,900
blemish, without blame, that was
innocent. 

643
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,800
He died to Pardon us to expunge 
the record of sin. 

644
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:12,700
In to cut off the work of the 
enemy, the curse of him in my 

645
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:16,000
life, right? 
And Jesus spiritually, redeem 

646
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,800
me. 
The Bible says, if anyone in cry

647
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,900
be in Christ, he is a new 
creation. 

648
00:37:19,900 --> 00:37:23,300
What's that talking about? 
It's not talking about my body. 

649
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,900
Nothing changed. 
If I was bald before, I got born

650
00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:29,000
again, I'm bald after I got born
again. 

651
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,600
Right? 
That's not talking about, if 

652
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,400
you're a new creation, even 
guess what? 

653
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,000
Your soul. 
That's another part of your 

654
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,300
being your mind, your own 
emotions. 

655
00:37:39,300 --> 00:37:41,900
After I got born again, guess 
what, my soul wasn't just 

656
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:44,000
transform. 
My my thinking just didn't 

657
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,600
automatically change. 
I just didn't get up and have 

658
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,100
the whole Bible memorized the 
next day and just, you know, 

659
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:52,700
floating through her life on a 
flower Betty's is thinking, this

660
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:56,100
is great. 
You know, the Bible gives us a 

661
00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:57,600
reality check. 
He says there's going to be 

662
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,300
fiery darts. 
It says there's going to be 

663
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:05,700
arguments and reasoning is God 
loves us so much that he warned 

664
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:08,100
the church about the work of the
enemy. 

665
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:10,600
He said, I've taken care of it. 
Spiritually this Authority back 

666
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,500
in your life. 
You don't have to operate like 

667
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:16,900
that, but your part to play in 
it is to make sure you you lay 

668
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:21,500
down your bodies, a Living 
Sacrifice and you renew your 

669
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:26,000
mind. 
And there's Grace to do that. 

670
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:30,300
That Divine empowerment. 
I like this definition of Grace 

671
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:32,900
and if you have I'm going to 
give you a tool reference 

672
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:36,300
tonight. 
Blue Letter Bible there's many 

673
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:38,000
different great software's out 
there. 

674
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,700
Listen it's so easy today. 
When I went to Bible school and 

675
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:47,300
we used to do this or Kingdom 
Institute, we gave you a 10,000 

676
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:50,500
page book. 
Called the Strong's, exhaustive 

677
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:53,800
Concordance. 
I don't know if it's 10,000 

678
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,100
pages, but I mean, if it fell 
from the Second Story, hitting 

679
00:38:56,100 --> 00:39:01,800
the head, your own conscience 
and you'd have to flip through 

680
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,800
that thing to find the Strong's 
number. 

681
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,300
Some of the older Saint sir. 
No, today at the click of a 

682
00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:16,100
button, there's no excuse. 
The Bible, says you study to 

683
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:20,300
show yourself approved to God. 
Thank God for software like Blue

684
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:23,200
Letter Bible. 
I could just click and get the 

685
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,500
reference to the Greek or the 
Hebrew. 

686
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,000
The New Testament was written in
Greek. 

687
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,600
The Old Testament is written in 
Hebrew and, you know, there's a 

688
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,600
richness to those languages. 
You can still get a lot out of 

689
00:39:33,608 --> 00:39:36,200
the word of God with not going 
there. 

690
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,900
But as you grow, you want to go 
there. 

691
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,100
Like you don't know what love is
because we say we love pizza. 

692
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:44,200
I love my dog. 
I love my wife. 

693
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:49,500
But in the Greek, you get the 
richness of four different 

694
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:53,300
meanings of love. 
So, some of the things in Rich 

695
00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:55,400
or walk and your knowledge with 
God, right? 

696
00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:59,200
So anyways, if you go to the 
Blue Letter Bible, whatever 

697
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,800
software you could look up in 
Ephesians chapter 4, you can 

698
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,600
click on this Grace, right? 
And the reason I'm telling you 

699
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,400
this because I'm going to read 
you the definition quick, so 

700
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,800
you're not going to be able to 
write it down, because I'm not 

701
00:40:08,808 --> 00:40:10,200
going to repeat it a bunch, 
okay? 

702
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:12,200
But you can find, this is what 
I'm saying. 

703
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,400
You go find it. 
I like this. 

704
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,100
This is literally, the Greek. 
Grace is the is of the merciful 

705
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:26,200
kindness by which God exerting 
his holy influence, upon Souls. 

706
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:32,500
Yes Grace is his holy influence 
upon this mine. 

707
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:36,600
This will that listen, it turns 
them to Christ. 

708
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,600
Keeps them in Christ, 
strengthens them in Christ 

709
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:48,900
increases them in their faith. 
Knowledge affection and Kindles 

710
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:53,600
them to exercise, Christian 
virtues, that's Grace. 

711
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:03,400
Romans 5:17 says this. 
For If by one man's offense 

712
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,700
death reigned by the one. 
What's this referencing? 

713
00:41:06,700 --> 00:41:10,200
When Adam transgressed the 
Commandment of God? 

714
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:14,400
You know, God had a plan for 
Adam on the earth. 

715
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,800
He said, this is the parameters.
This is the boundary don't cross

716
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,100
it. 
Right? 

717
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,800
And so when he crossed it, guess
what death passed on to all 

718
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,300
mankind. 
But Renown this verse, we see 

719
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:29,400
the latter half it talking about
Jesus. 

720
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:32,300
He said much more that they 
which have received the 

721
00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:37,200
abundance of Grace. 
The abundance know, God just 

722
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,300
didn't say grace. 
He said the abundance of Grace, 

723
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:41,200
there's a gift Grace in your 
life. 

724
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000
He's and he said, it's the 
abundance. 

725
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:49,900
I like he said, receive When I 
talked about some of you need to

726
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:53,600
work on your identity, seen 
yourself as a gift. 

727
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,300
Some of y'all have a hard time 
receiving. 

728
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,600
That's not God's fault. 
He wants to pour it out. 

729
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:04,900
Receive means to lay hold of to 
possess to seize man. 

730
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:08,300
I want all that you have for me.
God I'm not a loser. 

731
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:11,100
I'm not a nobody. 
I don't have wrong walls up. 

732
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:15,300
I am a sponge to receive. 
I have the right boundaries in 

733
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:17,600
place, but I got the right 
reception in place to. 

734
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:20,000
I'm tuned in to what the holy 
ghost in the word of God is 

735
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,900
saying and I receive if you 
don't receive that from God, you

736
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:26,800
can go through 40 Years of 
wandering in the wilderness. 

737
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,400
And you know what? 
There's a lot of Believers in 

738
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,500
the wilderness but to God want 
them to stay in the wilderness? 

739
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:36,000
No, he said, I'm bringing out 
Egypt to bring you into a more 

740
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,400
than enough life. 
Don't be Wilderness. 

741
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:45,500
Wandering, barely getting along.
Saints. 

742
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:53,000
Go into the promised land he 
said, but you got to receive it.

743
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,400
I can't receive it for you. 
If you're married, your spouse 

744
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,100
can't do it for you. 
Best friends, can't do it for 

745
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:03,700
you. 
There's a kink in your hose. 

746
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,100
Meaning on God's side, he's got 
the channel wide open. 

747
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,500
And there's a kink going to the 
key. 

748
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,200
Let the flow come to see. 
See yourself as God sees you. 

749
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:20,400
Jesus told the woman at the, 
well, if you would have known 

750
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:27,300
the gift of God, You would have 
get Living Water. 

751
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,800
You've been looking for 
satisfaction. 

752
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:38,800
You've been with five men? 
The man you with now the 61 that

753
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:45,700
you found on Mingle.com. 
It's not working either. 

754
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,600
But now you the seventh man, 
which is the number of 

755
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,700
perfection. 
Now you found the real name and 

756
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:54,000
you're not going to have a, 
you're never going to have the 

757
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,600
right man to you find the real 
man. 

758
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,400
In the real man, you always be 
satisfied. 

759
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:02,800
And know how to treat the right 
man. 

760
00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:07,400
If the right man, get funny, you
still got the real man. to get 

761
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:13,700
the funniness in the weirdness 
of Hallelujah. 

762
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,200
Just in parentheses as a side 
note. 

763
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:24,000
No I'm not going to go there. 
So listen to this, the abundance

764
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,100
of Grace. 
And the gift of righteousness. 

765
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,400
He said, Romans, this is a great
verse. 

766
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,900
Let's stick with you, let absorb
it man, think about it, 

767
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:41,400
meditated speak at confess it 
over the the hours after this 

768
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,700
service ended Amaro into the 
week in man, this is this is New

769
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:48,400
Testament reality for a more 
than enough life. 

770
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,300
He said he's giving you a bunny 
said receive the it now just 

771
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:53,700
what? 
Grace of the abundance, which 

772
00:44:53,700 --> 00:44:59,700
means a surplus It literally 
means super abundance. 

773
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:07,200
God's overstocked. 
He's got more than enough. 

774
00:45:07,900 --> 00:45:10,900
We live in a society where we 
have to renew our mind, we 

775
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:13,200
things are going to run out, we 
got to get more fuel, we gotta 

776
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,200
go get more groceries, but God 
does in a kingdom where he has 

777
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,100
enough and runs out. 
He's an endless supply of 

778
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:24,500
energy, we can draw from him in 
his life from now and through 

779
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:28,100
eternity he's like the Energizer
Bunny. 

780
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,800
He just keeps going, he doesn't 
sleep, nor Slumbers we can. 

781
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,200
Pull, are you doing stuff 
through his strength through 

782
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,400
your own ability? 
Right? 

783
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,600
The abundance, the super Buster 
Surplus, I want to give you this

784
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,400
root word of Grace. 
I've already given you, you 

785
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,100
know, when you do Blue Letter 
Bible, to give you the word, 

786
00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:54,900
which is Karis where we get the 
word Charisma from, but then if 

787
00:45:54,900 --> 00:45:57,500
you click on the what we call 
etymology the root word, I want 

788
00:45:57,500 --> 00:46:00,700
to tell you what that means. 
The definition means to be, 

789
00:46:00,700 --> 00:46:04,000
well, and I really want to do 
this tonight, but there was 

790
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,500
enough practice in milady's, it 
means to thrive. 

791
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:10,400
Now we're not doing it this 
Mother's Day, but if you were 

792
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:15,900
with us last mother today, They 
sang a song on Thrive, not I 

793
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:21,400
Will Survive, but I will Thrive 
Wilderness wonders are surviving

794
00:46:21,700 --> 00:46:24,200
Canaan and Canaan land livers 
are thriving. 

795
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,900
What does thrive mean? 
It means to grow vigorously to 

796
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:37,100
flourish and to prosper, right? 
So in Egypt, you didn't have 

797
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:39,300
enough and the Wilderness you 
have just enough and Canaan 

798
00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:44,300
land, you have more than enough.
And in Egypt, you were a 

799
00:46:44,308 --> 00:46:48,700
survivor in the wilderness, your
success but in Canaan land your 

800
00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:53,500
of significance a significant 
life just as an impact me 

801
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:56,500
because really the word rain 
when you look this up and says 

802
00:46:56,500 --> 00:46:59,200
it means to flow over into 
others. 

803
00:46:59,300 --> 00:47:06,300
Are you living? 
So well in Christ That people 

804
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:11,100
recognize the grace upon you. 
That's where God wants you to 

805
00:47:11,100 --> 00:47:14,300
get to church in your purpose 
and your assignment, your 

806
00:47:14,300 --> 00:47:15,000
living. 
So. 

807
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,100
Well in him, your marriage is 
just not heaven on Earth at home

808
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:20,400
because, you know, marriage 
could be the closest thing to 

809
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,600
Heaven or Hell you'll have on 
the Earth but that heaven pours 

810
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,000
over it into the lies of others.
That's when you're living a 

811
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,500
significant more than enough, 
it's just not about me. 

812
00:47:31,700 --> 00:47:34,700
It's about us living. 
So, well, in the grace of God, 

813
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,800
there's Grace to be a man. 
There's Grace to be a woman. 

814
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,000
There's Grace to be a father. 
There's Grace To Be A Mother. 

815
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,500
There's Grace to serve in the 
local church. 

816
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:47,200
There's Grace to open a business
if that's what God's called you 

817
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,700
to do. 
There's Grace to be an educator 

818
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:52,800
if that's what God's called you 
to do, right? 

819
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,900
There's Grace to be in politics 
If that's called you that 

820
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,900
there's Grace to work at a fast 
food restaurant. 

821
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:06,600
Wherever God, assigns you. 
That's where you need to be. 

822
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,800
Well, they don't pay enough. 
God will pay you. 

823
00:48:14,100 --> 00:48:18,100
Your job is not your work, your 
work is your purpose. 

824
00:48:19,900 --> 00:48:22,900
And I guarantee if you go and 
your tithe and you're working 

825
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:25,600
hard, you're going to go from 
flipping burgers and putting the

826
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:33,600
fries in the oil, right? 
To assistant manager to manager.

827
00:48:33,900 --> 00:48:41,000
You can't keep a God man down. 
When I say man, I'm talking 

828
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:46,500
about Mankind. 
We just rise to the top even 

829
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:49,400
Joseph, when it seems like a 
demotion became a promotion. 

830
00:48:52,700 --> 00:48:57,400
Hallelujah. 
A dear friend of mine from 

831
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,300
Raymond real quick story, Brian.
He actually came here years ago 

832
00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:06,800
to do, just the epitome of 
Service to the local body 

833
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,400
Church. 
This guy worked for a company 

834
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,800
for four years, and years 
decades, that help Christian 

835
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,600
Ministries, do advertising, you 
know, Outreach and marketing. 

836
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,400
It was like a, an intermediate 
service, right? 

837
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,000
Where they would really talk to 
his company and they would help 

838
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,400
with things right. 
During that whole time, he met, 

839
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,800
his wife Evelyn, went to a Rhema
back in like 1982 from. 

840
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,100
I think it was Philadelphia. 
Yeah, because he's a Steelers 

841
00:49:33,100 --> 00:49:36,200
fan, Don, he's a Steelers fan. 
I got your attention. 

842
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:43,100
Big Steelers fan, but he just 
served. 

843
00:49:43,100 --> 00:49:45,400
And, you know what? 
Even though they graduated, they

844
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,200
went to Bible School, guess 
what? 

845
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,000
God told him stick with Rhema? 
Serve. 

846
00:49:51,100 --> 00:49:56,100
So he just became an usher. 
He's working this job, you know 

847
00:49:56,100 --> 00:50:00,000
they're just being faithful at 
the local body Church sitting 

848
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,000
under a five fold Ministry. 
Which is equipping them will get

849
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,300
there for the work of service 
for the edifying of the body of 

850
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:12,100
Christ will get there. 
And man, just Thrive and being 

851
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:14,600
faithful, you know, faithfulness
is the key to anything. 

852
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:20,600
Consistency. 
Steadfastness Right? 

853
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,800
If you're faithful God, God 
rewards. 

854
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,400
The faithful and their faithful.
Hey, they needed to help going 

855
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,100
to the Cancer Ward for to get 
the gospel out there. 

856
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:31,600
So they join that. 
He's ushering. 

857
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:33,200
They started teaching some after
a while. 

858
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,600
They start teaching, Sunday 
school, they called School of 

859
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,700
the school of the Bible, right? 
School of the Bible. 

860
00:50:37,700 --> 00:50:40,000
I think Iran has basically 
Sunday school. 

861
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,400
So as our faithful, you know, 
Pastor Kenneth and Lynette just 

862
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,000
started giving him this and that
and, you know, he, I think he 

863
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,700
worked for a mica Tech which was
the name of company for 15, 20 

864
00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:50,400
years. 
During that time, guess what? 

865
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,300
Micah Tech had a cutback. 
And he was right, going up their

866
00:50:54,300 --> 00:50:58,900
ranks and Micah Tech and all 
sudden they get a cut back. 

867
00:50:58,900 --> 00:51:05,100
He loses money and a title. 
Now this is a real man of God, 

868
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,000
with real issues because the he 
told me this story said, you 

869
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,100
know, I went home and kind of 
flopped on the bed and cried 

870
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:12,900
kind of complain to God. 
Like, what is going on? 

871
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:15,200
I'm being faithful serving two 
faithful. 

872
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,600
This company also and I got a 
reduction in Pay I lost in 

873
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,000
title. 
Well, you know, wasn't long 

874
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
after that that I like this 
because who likes to hang out a 

875
00:51:24,008 --> 00:51:26,100
resume or going through an 
interview process, Pastor 

876
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:29,600
Lynette, Hagin personally 
reaches out to and say, hey, Do 

877
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,700
you want us to oversee the whole
Rhema book distribution? 

878
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:38,600
Now, see if you don't handle 
things, right? 

879
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,500
And you start to complaining and
grumbling and say God, it looks 

880
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:45,300
like things are going backwards 
instead of forward. 

881
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,900
Now he had to get his heart 
right on that, get as minor new 

882
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:52,100
get set on the word and it 
wasn't easy but it was right? 

883
00:51:52,900 --> 00:51:54,800
And he stuck to the plan and 
purpose of God in all of a 

884
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,600
sudden, he still to this day 
man. 

885
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,200
I eat when I used to call for a 
now we get to do it all in line.

886
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,500
You know, online is you get 
less? 

887
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:06,300
People interaction. 
I used to call him, just talk to

888
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:08,100
him, you know, hey we need to 
order more. 

889
00:52:08,100 --> 00:52:09,600
Why tons? 
Now we do our own. 

890
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,700
Why tongues book I'm going to 
just call him for some reason. 

891
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,100
But, you know, I remember 
calling him and, you know, and 

892
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:19,500
he was the only one at one time 
frame had to scale back a little

893
00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:21,300
bit, even though he's over the 
whole thing, he's running the 

894
00:52:21,308 --> 00:52:24,500
whole thing by himself. 
Now, he's got some help, you 

895
00:52:24,500 --> 00:52:26,600
know? 
But man, that's, that's God, he 

896
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,400
had to process the hurt, the 
pain. 

897
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,200
The disappointment of losing a 
title losing money with that, 

898
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:36,000
but still stayed the course. 
That's thriving. 

899
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:39,200
That's a life of significance. 
That's not Wilderness wandering.

900
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,500
That's Canaan. 
Land living. 

901
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:47,500
All right, so Grace means to 
thrive means to grow vigorously 

902
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:50,300
to flourish at a Prosper. 
Hallelujah. 

903
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,300
Let me ask you this real quick 
and then we're going to jump in 

904
00:52:54,300 --> 00:52:57,800
the fivefold ministry. 
Can people see the grace? 

905
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:05,700
Of God on you and Acts chapter 
11 verse number 23, the word 

906
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:10,200
says this, who, when he came and
had seen the grace of God. 

907
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,300
So he was he looking at people 
and he saw the grace of God. 

908
00:53:14,300 --> 00:53:17,900
They were glad they exhorted 
them all with purpose of heart. 

909
00:53:17,900 --> 00:53:21,900
They they cleaved unto the Lord 
so you can literally see the 

910
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:26,500
grace of God on somebody. 
When you see somebody walk 

911
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:31,300
through a situation, like, Bryan
and they don't don't falter. 

912
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,500
They don't get off course, they 
don't get offended. 

913
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,700
More people, quit because of 
offense in anything else. 

914
00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:41,600
Luke 17 says, whoa, Jesus warns 
us. 

915
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,800
This is red letter in the Bible 
woe unto offense because they 

916
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:51,300
are going to come But don't let 
it take you out. 

917
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:57,200
He could have got offended. 
He could have quit but he stand.

918
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,400
That was the grace of God and 
trust me, he's having 

919
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:04,400
conversations God. 
You said God, I know, I know 

920
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,200
there's more. 
I know there's purpose. 

921
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,800
I know I'm in your plan. 
Hallelujah there are no 

922
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,700
insignificant members in the 
body of Christ. 

923
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:18,200
So, I want to get to these 
Ministry gifts. 

924
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:19,800
Let's go back to Ephesians 
chapter 4. 

925
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,900
There was Grace in Jesus life. 
There was Grace in The Apostle. 

926
00:54:26,900 --> 00:54:29,100
Paul's life, matter of fact in 
1st Corinthians 15:10. 

927
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:32,400
Paul said, I am what I am by the
grace of God, then he made a 

928
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,000
statement, he said, I labored 
more abundantly in that Grace 

929
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,900
than they all. 
Some people think why am I 

930
00:54:39,900 --> 00:54:41,800
growing? 
Are you laboring in the grace? 

931
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,900
Are you working it out? 
Remember, one of the definitions

932
00:54:46,900 --> 00:54:49,400
of Grace is to exercise. 
The virtues of it. 

933
00:54:50,500 --> 00:54:52,300
You know, if he a bit of the gym
for a while. 

934
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:55,900
And you do some resistance 
training, guess what? 

935
00:54:55,900 --> 00:55:02,400
You're going to be a little bit 
sore, there's a new member of 

936
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,600
CrossFit talking right now. 
You just did a 6-mile run this 

937
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,800
week, right? 
Hallelujah. 

938
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,500
But you know, exercise is good 
for you. 

939
00:55:11,500 --> 00:55:13,600
You know, it's the same thing. 
There's natural. 

940
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,500
Paul talked about natural pinch 
principles, but gave spiritual 

941
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:19,100
implications of what's really 
going on. 

942
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:21,300
He talked about those that run a
race. 

943
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,500
Everybody runs to win. 
They talk about Appling in your 

944
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:26,600
body. 
The same way that an athlete is 

945
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,400
on a strict diet of strict, plan
to win how much more we that are

946
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,500
going for Christ, should be on a
strict diet in a strict plan. 

947
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,600
Meaning I'm not talking about 
the physical gym, meaning the 

948
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:41,900
spiritual gym, Let me put it 
this way cuz this is a modern 

949
00:55:41,900 --> 00:55:44,100
phenomenon. 
Everybody wants a coach today. 

950
00:55:45,900 --> 00:55:48,500
And anybody can call themself a 
coach today because we have this

951
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:54,000
thing called social media. 
Listen, there's cats and animals

952
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,700
that get ordained. 
So, you put in coach in front of

953
00:55:58,700 --> 00:56:01,900
your name. 
Does not impress me. 

954
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,300
I want somebody who's been 
through walking through and 

955
00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:07,900
coming through with the word of 
God. 

956
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:14,800
Even even Paul talked about 
proving yourself, don't put a 

957
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,300
novice in Ministry. 
And First, Timothy 3 said lest 

958
00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:20,300
being lifted up with pride. 
He's going to fall. 

959
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,800
You know in God's plan of 
Education, you're going to walk 

960
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,900
through some things. 
God doesn't tempt you but he 

961
00:56:25,900 --> 00:56:29,500
will prove you or test you. 
And you're supposed to end. 

962
00:56:29,500 --> 00:56:31,100
Test. 
James, 1, count, it all joy. 

963
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:33,300
Ha ha. 
Ha ha. 

964
00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:38,300
Ha ha. 
Give me another rep Lord, let me

965
00:56:38,300 --> 00:56:41,600
run that extra mile. 
Lord, this is fun. 

966
00:56:44,100 --> 00:56:48,200
My military people say, can I 
say this embrace the suck? 

967
00:56:50,500 --> 00:56:54,900
It's great more capacity. 
But Pastor said, you're not 

968
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:58,500
limited by what your experience 
but it's in your capacity. 

969
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:01,300
So when you run another 
spiritual Mi, guess what you? 

970
00:57:01,300 --> 00:57:04,800
Just increase your respiratory 
system to go further with God to

971
00:57:04,808 --> 00:57:07,200
have a life of Greater 
significance. 

972
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:16,400
So Ephesians chapter 4. 
Let's read this whole thing in 

973
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,000
context and we're going to back 
up. 

974
00:57:19,900 --> 00:57:24,100
So he says this in verse number 
7, Ephesians 4, he says, but 

975
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:27,400
each one of us Grace was given 
each one of us according to the 

976
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,700
measure of Christ's gift. 
Therefore, he says, when he 

977
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:36,200
Jesus is talking about Jesus, 
ascended on high, he led 

978
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,600
captivity captive, and he gave 
gifts to men. 

979
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:43,200
So there's a thing called the 
Old Testament saints that were 

980
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,300
held in Abraham's bosom. 
That second verse, it says he 

981
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:48,800
led captivity captive actually 
released those that were 

982
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,400
basically in a holding place at 
the Redemptive work of Christ 

983
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,000
and he's taking them to have 
about the same time. 

984
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,900
Not only take somebody left 
something he said he gave gifts 

985
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,600
to men. 
Now this he which is talk about 

986
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,500
Jesus ascended. 
What does it mean that he also 

987
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:06,200
first decent and lower parts of 
the Earth, right? 

988
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,500
Hugh dicen is the once my one is
capitalized reference in Jesus. 

989
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,100
Who ascended far above all the 
heavens that he might fill all 

990
00:58:14,100 --> 00:58:16,700
things. 
Now, listen verse 11 says he, 

991
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:20,200
which is capitalized. 
Jesus gave some no students. 

992
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,800
They gave all he didn't call 
everybody in the Old Testament 

993
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:28,300
to the levitical priesthood, 
right? 

994
00:58:28,900 --> 00:58:33,300
We have 12 different tribes. 
He gave some and this is the 

995
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:35,400
fivefold ministry. 
Those that make their living 

996
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:40,600
from the gospel. 
He gave some Apostles, some 

997
00:58:40,700 --> 00:58:45,500
prophets, some evangelists some 
pastors, and some teachers, why 

998
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:47,400
did he give them? 
There's a purpose for 

999
00:58:47,408 --> 00:58:50,000
everything. 
God does in his plan. 

1000
00:58:51,300 --> 00:58:55,400
He's the master architect he 
gave them why for the equipping 

1001
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,500
of the Saints. 
Comma for the work of the 

1002
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:05,400
ministry, for the edifying of 
the body of Christ. 

1003
00:59:07,500 --> 00:59:11,600
Till we all come to the unity of
the faith and to the knowledge 

1004
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,700
of the Son of God to a perfect 
man to the measure the stature 

1005
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:19,400
of the fullness of Christ. 
Verse 14, that we should no 

1006
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:23,000
longer be children, say grow up,
say, grow up. 

1007
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:30,800
Look at your neighbor. 
Say, I want to grow up that we 

1008
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,200
should no longer be children. 
Listen tossed to and fro and 

1009
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,700
carried about with every wind of
Doctrine. 

1010
00:59:37,300 --> 00:59:40,100
There's a lot of doctrine that 
floats to the body of Christ. 

1011
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:45,100
Part of the fivefold ministry is
to guard against wrong Doctrine.

1012
00:59:50,300 --> 00:59:53,100
If you can rightly divide the 
word, you can also wrongly 

1013
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,700
divide the word. 
And there is Doctrine out there 

1014
00:59:57,700 --> 00:59:59,600
a long time ago. 
Back in the 80s, people were 

1015
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,200
saying the higher you get in 
prayer. 

1016
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:08,000
The, the, the better God will be
able to hear your request but 

1017
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,600
they are let us say, like, you 
need you on top of building, 

1018
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:19,600
some people written planes. 
I learned this at bible stomach,

1019
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,200
I'd rather hear a donkey braying
midnight into 10 Barn. 

1020
01:00:23,300 --> 01:00:28,900
Which is a loud screeching noise
to listen to that bunk for that 

1021
01:00:28,900 --> 01:00:31,600
junk, right? 
Your? 

1022
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,300
God doesn't God can listen to 
you on your knees while you're 

1023
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:37,700
walking while you're in the 
plane. 

1024
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,700
It's a matter of Faith. 
It's a matter of your heart. 

1025
01:00:43,100 --> 01:00:46,600
It's a matter of lining up with 
his will not on how physically 

1026
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:52,400
High you are right but that's 
that's a wrong Doctrine. there 

1027
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,200
was a discipleship movement 
back, and I think the early 80s,

1028
01:00:56,900 --> 01:00:58,500
And guess what, it started off, 
right? 

1029
01:00:58,700 --> 01:01:01,600
But you realize if I'm Lisa 
leave from Florida to go to 

1030
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,700
California and playing. 
I'm off just a few degrees by 

1031
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:07,100
the time, I'm to get to my 
intended destination, I'm way 

1032
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:10,100
off. 
And so part of the fivefold, 

1033
01:01:10,100 --> 01:01:14,200
ministry is to guess what. 
Keep you on track. 

1034
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:18,300
When their words, I'm kind of 
jumping all over the place here.

1035
01:01:18,300 --> 01:01:23,300
And I got it's 8:40. 
Well, I'm yeah. 

1036
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:29,400
Praise the Lord. 
Glory to God it's gonna be more 

1037
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:35,700
like a buffet then a shotgun 
approach. 

1038
01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:37,800
I mean an accurate rifle 
approach, right? 

1039
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,400
Then a shotgun where it's come 
come be spread all over. 

1040
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,400
One of the reasons they gave out
for mystery for the equipping, 

1041
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,900
the Saints, one of the words for
equipping is so you stay in your

1042
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:53,500
place. 
Hebrews talks about being 

1043
01:01:53,500 --> 01:01:58,300
dislocated like a bones out of 
place and you know, when you're 

1044
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,400
when you're dislocate your not 
functioning as you should and so

1045
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,700
what's any good doctor? 
And we got the great physician 

1046
01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:08,300
do, let me get that back in 
place. 

1047
01:02:08,300 --> 01:02:09,900
And when you're, if you're out 
of place, guess what? 

1048
01:02:09,900 --> 01:02:10,900
It hurts. 
The body. 

1049
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,600
Now, God has faithfulness was be
Supply. 

1050
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:17,900
Somebody else to fulfill. 
Maybe what you're not 

1051
01:02:17,900 --> 01:02:20,800
fulfilling. 
But the gifts and callings of 

1052
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,300
God are without repentance. 
What's he waiting for you? 

1053
01:02:24,308 --> 01:02:27,500
Do is just repent. 
Repentance is a pivotal point 

1054
01:02:27,500 --> 01:02:30,300
between reconciliation and 
Rebellion. 

1055
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,200
If you don't repent, it'll lead 
to Rebellion which leads to 

1056
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,200
ruin. 
I gave you John 10:10. 

1057
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,300
It says, the thief comes to 
steal kill and destroy. 

1058
01:02:39,300 --> 01:02:41,500
I didn't give you the first part
of that verse, but God came to 

1059
01:02:41,508 --> 01:02:43,900
give you life and to give it 
part of repentance has to stay 

1060
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:46,900
on the plan of God, you just 
don't repent one time. 

1061
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,600
But if you do repent from your 
heart, at least two 

1062
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,900
reconciliation which leads to 
Restoration, I talked about 

1063
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:55,800
Galatians 6, you that are 
spiritual restore, such a one 

1064
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,200
one, the roles of a pastor and 
I've sat with Pastor own just 

1065
01:02:59,300 --> 01:03:02,300
absorbed in some counseling 
meetings because I'm like how is

1066
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:07,900
he going to answer that? 
And the anointing kicks in and 

1067
01:03:07,900 --> 01:03:11,100
I'm just like, okay, give me 
some impartation but without I 

1068
01:03:11,100 --> 01:03:16,800
want some of that buddy. 
I see him restore people in a 

1069
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,300
spirit of meekness. 
Hallelujah. 

1070
01:03:20,700 --> 01:03:23,600
So part of that, equipping is a 
put you in the right place. 

1071
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,000
Didn't pass her or just do a 
whole series a couple years ago 

1072
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,400
on the equipping. 
We just don't need information. 

1073
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,000
We need equipped. 
You all could go back and 

1074
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,700
probably reference that online. 
Great, great manufacturers, 

1075
01:03:35,700 --> 01:03:37,400
wasn't a series, it was like, a 
couple years. 

1076
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,600
It was equipping 2.0. 
I believe the second year. 

1077
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,400
So, whoo, you got a lot of 
homework to do glory, to God. 

1078
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:53,600
okay, so Fusions for so he says 
that we're not taught tossed to 

1079
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:55,400
and fro with every wind of 
Doctrine, by the trickery 

1080
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,500
trickery of men, in the cunning 
craftiness of deceitful 

1081
01:03:58,500 --> 01:04:00,600
plotting. 
Everything that God does he the 

1082
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,100
devil tries to pervert. 
He does this in marriage, right?

1083
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,500
He's even trying to pervert how 
God ordained marriage right now,

1084
01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:10,400
right? 
But I'm bringing us, guess what?

1085
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,000
If there's a there's an apostle,
guess what? 

1086
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,500
The devil tries to do, give a 
false Apostle, if there's a real

1087
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:17,900
Prophet guess what? 
The devil tries to give a false 

1088
01:04:17,900 --> 01:04:19,700
prophet. 
If there's a real Pastor, what 

1089
01:04:19,700 --> 01:04:23,800
does it ever do? 
Try to plant a false pastor. 

1090
01:04:25,500 --> 01:04:31,800
Are you with me? 
Okay, so coach Remember I talked

1091
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,300
about online, why people say 
their coaches and you know a 

1092
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:36,400
real Pastor is going to have 
walk through things or still 

1093
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,300
walking with God. 
Guess what Pastor has been 

1094
01:04:38,300 --> 01:04:42,000
passed from since 2004? 
And you just keeps on getting 

1095
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,500
better. 
He has grown. 

1096
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:45,800
You weren't, you know, when we 
say there were perfect. 

1097
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:50,100
Everybody thinks without excuse 
or without fault blameless. 

1098
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,100
That is not what the Greek 
rendered in the definition means

1099
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:59,600
it means maturing A mature 
person takes responsibility for 

1100
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:07,600
their actions. 
And really it's respond to the 

1101
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:11,100
ability that Grace in you and 
say God, I'm timing. 

1102
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,600
David said it this way. 
King David, this is so great. 

1103
01:05:13,700 --> 01:05:16,600
He didn't blame others, he said,
in Psalms 26, to God. 

1104
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:22,000
Examined me. 
Try my reins re ins like a horse

1105
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:26,000
rains, my motivation, where am I
going examine me? 

1106
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:28,400
That's a true heart of a 
disciple of Christ. 

1107
01:05:29,500 --> 01:05:32,000
Is to have to be multiple and 
pliable. 

1108
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:39,400
You cannot mould dry clay. 
But the water of the word, if 

1109
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:44,200
you stay, humble and meek will 
God will shape you and mold you 

1110
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,900
into the perfect Masterpiece of 
what he's got destined for you, 

1111
01:05:47,900 --> 01:05:53,000
while you're on the Earth. 
Hallelujah. 

1112
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,100
A coach though I was thinking 
about Coach because I really 

1113
01:05:58,100 --> 01:06:03,300
wanted to coach is like a 
passion of mine growing up, you 

1114
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:05,700
know, I really love football, 
the strategy, the teamwork, the 

1115
01:06:05,700 --> 01:06:07,400
lift in the offseason, the in 
season. 

1116
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,800
I thought, man, I want to coach.
So recently, I thought Lord, I 

1117
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,000
love studying word. 
Studying the word, I said, what 

1118
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,200
a coach come from, what's that 
concept? 

1119
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,200
Lord, you know, so I did some 
research and really coach came 

1120
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:23,700
from Stagecoach. 
The stagecoaches weren't common.

1121
01:06:23,700 --> 01:06:27,600
They were people of royalty. 
That were able to get in a 

1122
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,600
stagecoach to transport them, 
from one destination to the 

1123
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,100
next. 
And so really, I look at the 54 

1124
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:38,700
minute Ministry of spiritual 
coaches, you're a person of 

1125
01:06:38,700 --> 01:06:43,500
royalty born again that same. 
You need the fivefold ministry 

1126
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:45,800
because they are your spiritual 
coach. 

1127
01:06:46,700 --> 01:06:49,700
And they're going to transport 
you from where you are now to 

1128
01:06:49,700 --> 01:06:53,600
where I want you to be. 
You're on a journey and a 

1129
01:06:53,608 --> 01:06:56,700
Destiny, and you need these 
Ministry gifts in your life. 

1130
01:06:56,700 --> 01:06:59,100
There are well-balanced Ministry
gifts. 

1131
01:07:00,700 --> 01:07:05,600
Amen. 
So, let's run through these, we 

1132
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,100
need different types of gifts to
grow, and you'll see that in the

1133
01:07:08,108 --> 01:07:10,800
fivefold ministry gifts, you 
need inspiration, and 

1134
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:15,000
impartation from all these 
gifts, to grow Christ himself 

1135
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,500
gave the gifts. 
And these gifts are for this 

1136
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:21,700
steady growth Within These Walls
for powerful witness. 

1137
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:24,800
Without these Wolves. 
Why do I come to church? 

1138
01:07:25,100 --> 01:07:29,600
Is LG here tonight? 
Man, I'm trying to honor him. 

1139
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:34,500
Oh, he's probably serving he 
played for Notre Dame. 

1140
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,900
They're not big 10 because they 
missed it. 

1141
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:41,900
The Big Ten, try to invite them 
to into the conference but 

1142
01:07:41,900 --> 01:07:46,700
they're too prideful. 
I pray for humility over them. 

1143
01:07:46,700 --> 01:07:48,100
You know, pride comes before the
fall. 

1144
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:51,800
They may lose that contract with
CBS anyways. 

1145
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,700
At Notre Dame, they have the 
sinuses play Like A Champion day

1146
01:07:55,700 --> 01:07:57,800
when they come out of the locker
room, everybody touches that 

1147
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,800
sign all the team and I'm a 
sports guy, right? 

1148
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,400
So this is this is the body of 
Christ or the team of Christ in 

1149
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,400
here tonight and this is steady 
growth within what happens 

1150
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,700
within the walls of a football 
complex or sports program. 

1151
01:08:09,900 --> 01:08:14,800
There's the coach challenging 
you stretching, you give me one 

1152
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,100
more rep are do you have the 
plays memorize? 

1153
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:22,100
How's your grades? 
I saw you miss study hall, all 

1154
01:08:22,100 --> 01:08:24,200
your out your girlfriend at 11 
a.m. 

1155
01:08:27,399 --> 01:08:29,600
Right. 
That's what a coach does. 

1156
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:35,600
A bad coach go out with her till
1 a.m. just mess up the whole 

1157
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,100
team. 
Go get intoxicated the night 

1158
01:08:38,100 --> 01:08:40,500
before the game, do whatever you
want. 

1159
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:43,800
Is that a good coach be about 
all yourself. 

1160
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:48,600
The fake Trinity, me myself and 
I we're just care about just 

1161
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,500
your stats and just you making 
it to the NFL. 

1162
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,800
Forget about the rest of them, 
they're losers. 

1163
01:08:55,300 --> 01:08:58,200
You're the best, that's a bad 
coach, right? 

1164
01:08:58,399 --> 01:09:00,700
A real coach is trying, trying 
to focus on the team and 

1165
01:09:00,700 --> 01:09:04,100
development and accountability 
and criminal chemistry and 

1166
01:09:04,100 --> 01:09:06,600
Oneness and unity. 
How much more these are all 

1167
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:11,399
principles in the kingdom of 
God, that God and glory to God, 

1168
01:09:11,399 --> 01:09:16,100
he's the one that set them. 
The world uses them, but God is 

1169
01:09:16,100 --> 01:09:18,600
the one that came up with him. 
Now, the world uses it apart 

1170
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:23,300
from him. 
But God set these principles in 

1171
01:09:23,300 --> 01:09:27,600
the Earth, right? 
So steady growth within they 

1172
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:28,700
say, play like it. 
So what's that? 

1173
01:09:28,700 --> 01:09:31,300
Play Like A Champion, they 
prepared all week to go out for 

1174
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:34,800
three hours on a Saturday. 
They prepared all offseason for 

1175
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,100
three hours of Glory. 
Listen, preparation time is not 

1176
01:09:38,100 --> 01:09:41,800
wasted time, you serve them with
the kids is not wasted time, you

1177
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,600
are pouring into their lives. 
You being a greeter just like, I

1178
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,300
went to Rhema, man. 
I'm not saying go hug people. 

1179
01:09:48,300 --> 01:09:52,200
We haven't initiated that yet. 
But their greeters are trained a

1180
01:09:52,207 --> 01:09:53,700
hug and pick you up off their 
feet. 

1181
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:57,700
So greeters, do not do that. 
You know, handshake is good and 

1182
01:09:57,700 --> 01:10:00,600
smile, don't be a greedy like 
welcome to church. 

1183
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:05,900
Have some passion, you're born 
again, right? 

1184
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,400
Listen and come to church on 
Wednesday and Sunday. 

1185
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,700
I was thinking back over the 
decades, you know, there's only 

1186
01:10:11,700 --> 01:10:13,800
been evil, Errata town, we go to
church. 

1187
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:18,300
There's been probably five times
six times in 24 years of serving

1188
01:10:18,300 --> 01:10:22,100
God that we just didn't have the
ability to get to a church on a 

1189
01:10:22,108 --> 01:10:25,600
Sunday. 
I remember when I I didn't even 

1190
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,100
know what I was really called to
do see there's a general purpose

1191
01:10:29,100 --> 01:10:32,100
and there's a specific purpose. 
I just knew I need to be a 

1192
01:10:32,108 --> 01:10:35,700
church in 1997. 
Nobody told me, nobody had to 

1193
01:10:35,700 --> 01:10:38,500
prod me, remind me. 
I was excited. 

1194
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:42,600
I had wrong cannoli on a 
cassette in my in my Honda Civic

1195
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:47,200
two-door. 
Five-speed Remember they used to

1196
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,100
eat the tapes and you have to 
roll your, hope it didn't bus, 

1197
01:10:50,100 --> 01:10:54,200
you have to roll them back up 
with a pencil, your finger, some

1198
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:58,700
of you got it easy today because
I don't eat that, that's my 

1199
01:10:58,700 --> 01:11:01,700
favorite one. 
It's real good. 

1200
01:11:01,700 --> 01:11:03,800
When you get the nice cars and 
it was fast forward to stop at 

1201
01:11:03,808 --> 01:11:05,800
the next song. 
Instead of you trying to guess, 

1202
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,600
Hallelujah. 
But I remember going to church 

1203
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,100
on a Wednesday being a hard 
maybe day at words and steal. 

1204
01:11:13,100 --> 01:11:14,600
Whatever. 
And just excited to be at 

1205
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,100
church. 
I'm still excited to come to 

1206
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:19,300
church because this is where 
you're getting a meal. 

1207
01:11:19,300 --> 01:11:21,700
A spiritual refreshing. 
Your wasn't people like Precious

1208
01:11:21,700 --> 01:11:24,100
Faith. 
The Bible says, I was glad not 

1209
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:27,600
sad when they said let's go to 
the house of the Lord. 

1210
01:11:28,100 --> 01:11:29,700
Why? 
Cuz God, so loves you put 

1211
01:11:29,700 --> 01:11:32,600
Ministry gifts in the church. 
So you'd have steady growth 

1212
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,400
within. 
So you could be a powerful 

1213
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:38,600
witness without go, change the 
world, be an agent of change. 

1214
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:43,900
A person of transformation you 
go to your job as man. 

1215
01:11:43,900 --> 01:11:47,000
Your yeast working into that do 
truth life. 

1216
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:51,600
So, you're looking for a word? 
God, do I need to say something?

1217
01:11:52,100 --> 01:11:54,500
Just keep praying, just keep 
praying. 

1218
01:11:54,700 --> 01:11:56,600
Oh, they don't even know what's 
about to come. 

1219
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:02,600
Great, Deliverance up in this 
carnal, place if Tim Tebow. 

1220
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:14,300
Yeah, Chris go, no Gators. 0h, 
where Jesse I, oh, there you go.

1221
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,100
My dating brother. 
He's from Dayton, Ohio. 

1222
01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:26,000
Now, you got me all messed up. 
I forgot was going Chris Now, 

1223
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,200
you got me really messed up, 
Miss Diane. 

1224
01:12:30,100 --> 01:12:33,100
Tim Tebow which I heard can go 
in the Florida locker room when 

1225
01:12:33,108 --> 01:12:37,500
he's a freshman and here's a 
bunch of carnal words and foul 

1226
01:12:37,500 --> 01:12:42,500
language and just live Christ 
before them see his character. 

1227
01:12:42,900 --> 01:12:44,100
And I pray, this is a real 
story. 

1228
01:12:44,100 --> 01:12:47,200
I heard by the time he was a 
senior he had eradicated most of

1229
01:12:47,208 --> 01:12:50,700
the language, one man, and four 
years. 

1230
01:12:50,700 --> 01:12:54,800
Changes 115, scholarship players
to shut their mouths. 

1231
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,600
Not that they weren't talking 
but you been around somebody 

1232
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,300
before. 
This is gracing you. 

1233
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:02,700
What do you do? 
I'm a pastor. 

1234
01:13:02,700 --> 01:13:04,300
I'll send their Lanes with their
language. 

1235
01:13:04,300 --> 01:13:09,000
Cleans up. 
Sometimes, we don't have to say 

1236
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,900
much, that's foul language, 
brother. 

1237
01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:15,600
Sometimes we get say, you know 
what, you should really talk 

1238
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,700
like that, you need to be led 
those instances wrote though, 

1239
01:13:17,700 --> 01:13:22,800
right? 
Hallelujah. 

1240
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:24,600
Oh, say Okay. 
So the ministry gifts. 

1241
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:31,100
First, I'm going to go over the 
Apostle. 

1242
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,400
Now, there's different. 
What we call parallel passages 

1243
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,800
in the Bible, you can find gifts
and general. 

1244
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,900
And First Corinthians, 12, Paul 
does a great job. 

1245
01:13:39,900 --> 01:13:42,200
Just outline the body of Christ 
in general. 

1246
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:47,300
Everybody has a part to play. 
Everybody has Grace in a gift of

1247
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,000
Grace for that gift, every 
born-again believer. 

1248
01:13:50,100 --> 01:13:52,000
Okay. 
First Corinthians 12 really 

1249
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,600
talks about that but verse 28, 
really starts to highlight the 

1250
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,100
fivefold ministry. 
So, If I fall Ministries part of

1251
01:13:58,100 --> 01:14:00,800
the body of Christ, just like in
the Old Testament, guess what? 

1252
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,400
All the tribes are part of the 
nation of Israel, but there was 

1253
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,900
individual tribes all doing 
their assignment but they all 

1254
01:14:05,900 --> 01:14:09,400
represent it guess what? 
There's a universal church still

1255
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:13,000
today, the family of God, but 
we're in a local body right now 

1256
01:14:13,100 --> 01:14:16,400
and there's many gifts that God 
set in this local body, bring 

1257
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,500
your supply to the local body, 
right? 

1258
01:14:19,500 --> 01:14:22,300
So first, first Corinthians 12, 
28 says, God has set some in the

1259
01:14:22,300 --> 01:14:24,900
church first apostles, 
secondarily prophets thirdly 

1260
01:14:24,900 --> 01:14:27,300
teachers after that miracles. 
Yes of healings. 

1261
01:14:27,300 --> 01:14:30,400
Helps government's diversities 
of tongues Ephesians 4:11, which

1262
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,000
already read. 
He said he gave some Apostles. 

1263
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,100
So the ministry gift which heads
the list is Apostle. 

1264
01:14:37,100 --> 01:14:40,000
However, that does not mean that
this is the most among the most 

1265
01:14:40,100 --> 01:14:43,300
important Ministry gift just 
because it's listed first and 

1266
01:14:43,300 --> 01:14:46,100
First Corinthians 12 and other 
references, they don't list 

1267
01:14:46,100 --> 01:14:49,400
Apostle first, it's just how 
Paul wrote to the Corinthians 

1268
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,500
church. 
I say that because for every 

1269
01:14:51,500 --> 01:14:54,100
real Apostle there's a false 
Apostle. 

1270
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,200
So I got to give you a balanced 
teaching because Some Apostles 

1271
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,500
will come come in and saying, 
you got to tie to me, I tell you

1272
01:15:00,500 --> 01:15:03,000
how to run the ministry. 
I tell you about the 

1273
01:15:03,008 --> 01:15:05,700
discipleship movement, which I 
kind of got sidetracked in the 

1274
01:15:05,708 --> 01:15:08,000
early 80s, guess what? 
It started off good. 

1275
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:12,600
But it dwindled off doctrinally 
where you can even buy a car 

1276
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,700
without them telling you, what 
color the car was that's 

1277
01:15:15,700 --> 01:15:20,500
hogwash. 
Now, I'm a look at you. 

1278
01:15:21,500 --> 01:15:24,900
And say to God, really tell you 
to buy this car as a pastor. 

1279
01:15:25,100 --> 01:15:28,900
I'm looking at your budget. 
You make twelve hundred dollars 

1280
01:15:28,900 --> 01:15:31,100
a month and you're going to go 
do a seven hundred dollar car 

1281
01:15:31,100 --> 01:15:32,500
payment. 
Have you thought this through? 

1282
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:40,800
I may say that to you. 
And if you said God really told 

1283
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,400
me. 
Go for it. 

1284
01:15:43,700 --> 01:15:48,900
We'll find out three months. 
I may be repeating or you may be

1285
01:15:48,900 --> 01:15:51,700
sleeping in your car because you
can't afford your rent, but one 

1286
01:15:51,700 --> 01:15:53,900
of us is right, one of us is 
wrong. 

1287
01:15:55,100 --> 01:15:57,400
And I Rejoice with you because 
you heard God, because the real 

1288
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:01,600
pastor wants to see people grow 
and actually respond to the Holy

1289
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,400
Ghost. 
I'd love to say I miss that 

1290
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,400
situation. 
Of a sudden you got a promotion 

1291
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,200
and now you make a 3500 month, 
I'll be like wow, they got it. 

1292
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:14,200
They did hear the Holy Ghost. 
Amen. 

1293
01:16:14,900 --> 01:16:19,800
So the Apostle, real Apostle 
does not dominate the local 

1294
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,800
church. 
A fake Apostle will try to try 

1295
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,800
to throw away their title as 
about this about coaches, just 

1296
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,700
because you put a label on an 
empty can doesn't mean the 

1297
01:16:29,700 --> 01:16:33,000
continent labels in the can you 
can call yourself whatever you 

1298
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,000
want? 
Doesn't mean that you actually 

1299
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,900
call it at office. 
You're not called a five fold 

1300
01:16:37,900 --> 01:16:40,100
Ministry, because your wife 
calls, you, your husband calls, 

1301
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:45,500
you, your aunt calls you. 
Write your call because God 

1302
01:16:45,500 --> 01:16:50,700
called you, all right? 
Soda pop. 

1303
01:16:50,700 --> 01:16:53,300
So I'm going to run through 
these pretty quick and just 

1304
01:16:53,300 --> 01:16:55,900
really give you a shotgun 
approach because it's already a 

1305
01:16:55,900 --> 01:17:06,700
55. 
So quickly and Apostle is one. 

1306
01:17:08,900 --> 01:17:11,600
Who gets people solidly 
established in the word and a 

1307
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:16,000
real Apostle solid solidly, get 
people established in the word. 

1308
01:17:17,700 --> 01:17:23,100
Number two, a real Apostle will 
establish churches solidly in 

1309
01:17:23,100 --> 01:17:25,100
the word. 
So the established people and 

1310
01:17:25,100 --> 01:17:30,700
churches solidly in the word to 
stand in the office of an 

1311
01:17:30,700 --> 01:17:33,700
apostle, one must have a deep 
personal encounter with the Lord

1312
01:17:33,900 --> 01:17:38,100
and an ongoing spiritually. 
Strong relationship with him and

1313
01:17:38,100 --> 01:17:41,600
his word, the Apostle Paul had 
such a relationship, you know, 

1314
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,800
in Galatians is said that the 
gospel was revealed not by man 

1315
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,800
but by the Lord Jesus Christ, 
that's a pretty strong 

1316
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,100
relationship when you get a 
revelation. 

1317
01:17:49,300 --> 01:17:51,800
But that's when the signs of an 
apostle they have a deep walk 

1318
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,900
with God, not that we can't have
a deep walk with God and we 

1319
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:58,800
should be intimate with him, but
there's something connecting him

1320
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,600
with God. 
That assignment. 

1321
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:05,400
Write a distinguishing 
characteristic of an apostle is 

1322
01:18:05,408 --> 01:18:09,400
to establish. 
Church is So we can see this 

1323
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:11,000
with Pastor. 
Oh, he started off Pastor and 

1324
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,000
anchor Faith Church. 
But guess what? 

1325
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:13,700
Now, we have. 
Anchor Faith. 

1326
01:18:13,700 --> 01:18:16,800
Church Valdosta. 
We have anchor for a church. 

1327
01:18:17,100 --> 01:18:18,900
Managua. 
We have anchor fake Church. 

1328
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,500
India, we're gonna have anchor, 
Faith Church, Chicago. 

1329
01:18:23,900 --> 01:18:25,700
And there's others as he 
outlined in the vision in 

1330
01:18:25,708 --> 01:18:28,400
January that are coming. 
So that's the that's an 

1331
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:32,600
Apostolic anointing. 
If you call yourself Apostle and

1332
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:37,100
you have an established a 
church, your false, you're just 

1333
01:18:37,100 --> 01:18:39,600
calling yourself that the fruit 
will show out. 

1334
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,300
An apostle can also be a 
missionary who is really called 

1335
01:18:45,300 --> 01:18:51,000
to the mission field. 
Some went somewhere said don't 

1336
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,600
be a person that just went be 
sent. 

1337
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,000
So if you're sent why because 
they're going to go and they're 

1338
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,100
going to establish works and in 
foreign territory. 

1339
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,200
Another characteristic is the 
ability to provide adequate 

1340
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,800
spiritual leadership and have we
not seen that from Pastor or a 

1341
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:11,100
pastor, Marcy? 
The real definition of apostle 

1342
01:19:11,100 --> 01:19:15,500
is one cent a commission. 
One, a special a special 

1343
01:19:15,500 --> 01:19:20,400
messenger and one sent forthwith
orders when I was getting ready 

1344
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,200
for this. 
I thought you know, Pastor were 

1345
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,600
Earl, got the word, we can calm 
Apostle Earl on the kingdom of 

1346
01:19:25,700 --> 01:19:30,000
God, that was a special message 
that he got back in 2009 and 

1347
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,600
released at and living that in 
our body right now, right? 

1348
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,900
Let me move on to the prophet. 
I'm kind of highlighting these 

1349
01:19:36,900 --> 01:19:39,100
real quick just to show you 
quickly. 

1350
01:19:39,100 --> 01:19:42,700
A prophet a prophet is also 
called a full-time Ministry just

1351
01:19:42,700 --> 01:19:46,000
because a Layman prophesize does
not mean that they're a profit 

1352
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,000
First Corinthians 12 Paul 
encouraged the whole church to 

1353
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,500
prophesy but just because you 
prophesied doesn't mean you 

1354
01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:54,200
stand in the office of a 
prophet. 

1355
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,700
A real Prophet simply is going 
to be able to teach and preach 

1356
01:19:57,700 --> 01:20:01,300
the word. 
Okay. 

1357
01:20:01,500 --> 01:20:04,300
A real prophet in First 
Corinthians 12, there's nine 

1358
01:20:04,300 --> 01:20:06,000
gifts of the Spirit, I'm going 
pretty quick. 

1359
01:20:06,300 --> 01:20:08,200
They're going to operate and 
what we call out of the nine 

1360
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,900
gifts, you breaking up in the 
three gifts of nine, they're 

1361
01:20:10,900 --> 01:20:16,700
going to flow in the, what we 
call the power, the power gifts.

1362
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,700
Which is the working of Miracle.
I'm sorry. 

1363
01:20:19,700 --> 01:20:24,600
The not that praise the Lord. 
That's those are Revelation 

1364
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:28,100
gifts. 
I'm getting all going. 

1365
01:20:28,300 --> 01:20:31,100
They are I got all my notes. 
Just look at my notes Word of 

1366
01:20:31,100 --> 01:20:31,900
Wisdom. 
There we go. 

1367
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,500
Word of knowledge and Discerning
of spirits. 

1368
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:40,400
So real profits going to flow in
two or three of these frequently

1369
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,200
or some of that prophesizes 
going to kind of be in and out 

1370
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:44,900
of them. 
And they're not full-time 

1371
01:20:44,900 --> 01:20:47,500
Ministry, a real Prophet or 
called to the ministry. 

1372
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:49,400
Gift of profits going to be in 
full-time Ministry. 

1373
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,800
The word of wisdom is 
Supernatural Revelation by the 

1374
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:55,000
spirit of God, concerning the 
Divine Purpose, in the mind of 

1375
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,400
will of God real quick and Word 
of Wisdom talks about future 

1376
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:01,400
events. 
A word of knowledge is really 

1377
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,800
getting the facts in the mind of
God, that talks about present or

1378
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:08,000
past events. 
And Discerning of spirits, means

1379
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,900
you actually see in the realm of
the spirit and you can discern 

1380
01:21:11,900 --> 01:21:15,800
Spirits, good or bad. 
You could discern evil spirits 

1381
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,600
or actually Angels. 
Right. 

1382
01:21:19,300 --> 01:21:24,800
So a prophet speaks by divine 
inspiration and immediate 

1383
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,500
Revelation not something, he 
thought of, but something given 

1384
01:21:27,500 --> 01:21:29,900
at the spur of the moment by 
sudden inspiration. 

1385
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,400
So we see this with Pastor Marcy
and corporate prayer, guess what

1386
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,100
I was thinking about this years 
ago, she called out a boat and 

1387
01:21:39,100 --> 01:21:40,900
foreign territory some was going
on. 

1388
01:21:40,900 --> 01:21:43,600
I'm trying to the whole story 
and the newscast hit a few days 

1389
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,400
later. 
That's a Word of Wisdom of 

1390
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:47,700
prophetic utterance given during
our corporate prayer. 

1391
01:21:47,900 --> 01:21:51,000
Luckily she called out, I think 
it was drugs that were going to 

1392
01:21:51,008 --> 01:21:53,600
be busted. 
She called this corporate prayer

1393
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,400
on 9:30 is a fun time because 
what you're seeing prophetic 

1394
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,400
utterance by Pastor, Marcy 
happening during a corporate 

1395
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:01,800
prayer. 
I would not be in the lobby, 

1396
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:07,900
drinking your latte. 
I'd be in soaking it all in 

1397
01:22:07,900 --> 01:22:10,200
because there is prophetic 
under, there's many, many 

1398
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,500
examples of her flowing in that 
gift. 

1399
01:22:12,500 --> 01:22:15,700
Not only she a pastor but she 
has a prophetic utterance with 

1400
01:22:15,700 --> 01:22:19,100
her too. 
All right, an evangelist. 

1401
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:26,200
An evangelist, there's only one,
evangelist mentioned in the New 

1402
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:31,600
Testament, Philip in Acts 20 18,
but a really Vangelis. 

1403
01:22:31,700 --> 01:22:34,900
Once again, if somebody's in 
full-time Ministry, they bring 

1404
01:22:34,900 --> 01:22:37,400
the good news or the message of 
the Good Tidings. 

1405
01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:40,100
They bring the message of 
Redeeming Grace, the 

1406
01:22:40,100 --> 01:22:43,300
supernatural equipment of an 
evangelist, includes miracles in

1407
01:22:43,300 --> 01:22:46,500
the gifts of healings. 
So I was talking about the gifts

1408
01:22:46,500 --> 01:22:48,600
of the Spirit In First 
Corinthians 12. 

1409
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,000
Well, they're going to flow in 
the Miracles and the healings It

1410
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,200
becomes a supernatural 
advertisement of the power of 

1411
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,300
God to get people into the 
kingdom of God. 

1412
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,100
Guess what? 
If somebody that was sick, got 

1413
01:22:58,100 --> 01:23:01,000
healed or had something that was
broken, get repaired. 

1414
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:05,000
And they hear the gospel with 
that Supernatural Miracle. 

1415
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,200
They're going to be more likely 
to say, man, I'm giving my life 

1416
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,100
to God. 
Now, first current in Ephesians 

1417
01:23:10,100 --> 01:23:13,300
4, it talks about the and the 
office of the Evangelist. 

1418
01:23:13,300 --> 01:23:16,300
If you go to First Corinthians, 
12, verse 28, you notice that 

1419
01:23:16,300 --> 01:23:21,000
evangelist isn't listed there. 
But it what is listed as gifts 

1420
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:25,900
of Miracles and healings which 
is referring to the office of 

1421
01:23:26,100 --> 01:23:30,600
the Evangelist. 
The pastor is probably the most 

1422
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:34,800
widely recognized office in the 
Christian Ministry today, the 

1423
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,800
Greek word for pastor literally 
means Shepherd shepherds are 

1424
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:41,100
necessary for a maturing and 
equipping of the Saints. 

1425
01:23:42,100 --> 01:23:45,000
God Set this off in the in the 
church as Believers in there as 

1426
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:50,100
the early church began together,
together and local churches and 

1427
01:23:50,100 --> 01:23:53,800
oversee them. 
Every local church think about. 

1428
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,100
If you're giving your life to 
Christ the Evangelist, they need

1429
01:23:56,100 --> 01:23:58,900
to get connected to a local 
church because we just don't 

1430
01:23:58,900 --> 01:24:01,600
want to birth a baby and leave 
them unattended. 

1431
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,900
So the role of the pastor's 
probably one the most necessary 

1432
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:10,200
and needed offices because think
about all the local churches 

1433
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,400
throughout the world. 
Right? 

1434
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,900
So we need good pastors not 
false pastors that are anointed 

1435
01:24:17,900 --> 01:24:21,400
and called by God to help equip 
us without the ministry. 

1436
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,300
Gift of pastors. 
All other Ministry gifts are 

1437
01:24:23,300 --> 01:24:28,200
really in vain, Because even 
though the Apostle can establish

1438
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,100
churches, guess what? 
Paul had to set Timothy in a 

1439
01:24:31,100 --> 01:24:35,200
local church because they needed
oversight, nurturing and Care. 

1440
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,800
A real Pastor is going to say 
that's a wolf in sheep's 

1441
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,600
clothing. 
Don't go out with them. 

1442
01:24:44,100 --> 01:24:46,500
I remember one of the Rainbow 
Christian Center man, somebody 

1443
01:24:46,500 --> 01:24:49,700
gave me a book on diet and about
don't eat, you know, it's under 

1444
01:24:49,700 --> 01:24:55,000
the law and I know Pastor scales
heard me because I was talking 

1445
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,500
and it was after church and he 
probably saw the book. 

1446
01:24:57,500 --> 01:24:59,900
Somebody had one of his 
congregation members hint to me.

1447
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:03,300
So I'm like, I'm not going to 
eat pork again, it's a dirty 

1448
01:25:03,300 --> 01:25:07,900
animal. 
So the next service I kind of 

1449
01:25:07,908 --> 01:25:09,700
get rebuked publicly, but 
privately. 

1450
01:25:11,100 --> 01:25:13,900
He said did you know that I 
think he was talking also to 

1451
01:25:13,900 --> 01:25:17,600
person gave me a book that you 
know when Christ redeemed us it 

1452
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,500
says it's not that that goes 
into the belly that defiles us 

1453
01:25:20,500 --> 01:25:22,900
that which comes out. 
And Jesus said this in the 

1454
01:25:22,900 --> 01:25:27,600
gospel there by declared all 
foods clean what they didn't 

1455
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,700
have in the Old Testament and 
why God was so adamant was in 

1456
01:25:30,700 --> 01:25:32,400
order for them to be healthy, 
they didn't have the name of 

1457
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:36,600
Jesus sanctify, their food. 
Now I'm going to say about, does

1458
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,500
that mean you can go out and 
live off of Twinkies? 

1459
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,900
And eat pork all the time, 
you're going to be a pork if you

1460
01:25:45,900 --> 01:25:50,000
eat pork what you sow, you shall
read. 

1461
01:25:51,100 --> 01:25:52,700
So I think balance is the key to
life. 

1462
01:25:52,700 --> 01:25:56,000
Can I can't eat bacon. 
Yeah but even in this, it gets 

1463
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:57,500
the point. 
That is it going to offend 

1464
01:25:57,500 --> 01:25:59,900
somebody? 
I ain't going it in front of 

1465
01:25:59,900 --> 01:26:02,000
you? 
I do enjoy my baking at the 

1466
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:08,200
house. 
Then bacon cupcakes, Miss Stacy,

1467
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:12,700
praise the lord, it's organic 
non-GMO. 

1468
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,800
So pastors are usually equipped 
with the word of wisdom, and the

1469
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,700
word of knowledge and tongues, 
and interpretation of tongues. 

1470
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,600
Man, I gotta say it's about give
me five minutes. 

1471
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,100
Okay? 
We're conditioned along 

1472
01:26:30,100 --> 01:26:31,400
preaching. 
I know we got school tomorrow 

1473
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:32,900
and everything, but there's 
going to be great to get up in 

1474
01:26:32,900 --> 01:26:34,800
the morning. 
Hallelujah. 

1475
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,500
In the Old Testament and the New
Testament there are similarities

1476
01:26:40,500 --> 01:26:42,600
between the profits, but I want 
to say this real quick on a 

1477
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:46,900
balance side, profits, preach 
and teach the word prophets, 

1478
01:26:46,900 --> 01:26:50,200
have visions and Revelations. 
But, you know, John the Baptist 

1479
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:53,200
was one of the greatest prophets
in the bible and he never told 

1480
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:56,800
anybody a prophecy. 
He literally preached, the 

1481
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,700
kingdom of God, repentance and 
made a way for the Messiah. 

1482
01:27:00,900 --> 01:27:04,800
So true Prophet can teach Can 
they give words? 

1483
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:06,700
Yeah, but here's my, here's my 
concern. 

1484
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,800
As a lot of people run to 
profits forwards and somebody's 

1485
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,600
in fanaticism. 
And excess is always trying to 

1486
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:16,400
give a word and the New 
Testament, what they didn't have

1487
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:18,200
in the Old Testament was they 
didn't have the spirit of the 

1488
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:19,700
Living. 
God, on the inside of him. 

1489
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,700
Romans 8:14 says, as many as are
led by the spirit. 

1490
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:25,300
These are the sons of God. 
So the Old Testament prophets 

1491
01:27:25,300 --> 01:27:28,100
gave guidance it. 
Guess what the New Covenant 

1492
01:27:28,100 --> 01:27:30,400
prophets took and can still give
a word of knowledge of word of 

1493
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,900
wisdom and should if they're 
true Prophet. 

1494
01:27:32,900 --> 01:27:35,200
But it's only going to go. 
To confirm what you have in your

1495
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:38,100
spirit. 
Cuz we're to be led by the 

1496
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:42,000
spirit not by prophets. 
So true Prophet can give you a 

1497
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,100
challenging word but you know, 
it's right. 

1498
01:27:45,500 --> 01:27:47,300
But a false prophets going to 
try to give you a word to get 

1499
01:27:47,300 --> 01:27:50,100
you off, okay? 
A true. 

1500
01:27:50,100 --> 01:27:53,400
Pastor is going to recognize 
false prophets. 

1501
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:58,800
It's I just I got four Bandit 
they get the tub seconds on this

1502
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,800
to I can literally say I'm keep 
my word it's not 07:03. 

1503
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,700
This is like a wad workout right
here right? 

1504
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:12,600
Amrap as many words as I can get
in three minutes and 45 seconds 

1505
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:14,600
I'm going to be on the 
leaderboard today. 

1506
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:18,300
No. 
I've just been introducing the 

1507
01:28:18,300 --> 01:28:21,000
cross since its October. 
I'm it was a whole new world 

1508
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:26,600
going in there IMA my mom. 
Amrap eat you know what? 

1509
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:32,300
Todd Seriously, my wife is like,
what are they talking about? 

1510
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:38,000
I don't know, praise the Lord. 
Thank God for coach and from 

1511
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,700
Rack City who helps us out? 
Oh my goodness. 

1512
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,600
I'm not doing very well in 
Breaking any records. 

1513
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:55,200
Now, A shepherd's going to 
guard. 

1514
01:28:55,200 --> 01:29:00,600
Obviously a teacher this is not 
a Sunday school teacher, the 

1515
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:02,400
early church and have Sunday 
school teachers. 

1516
01:29:02,900 --> 01:29:04,900
This isn't something you can 
just teach with natural Billy. 

1517
01:29:04,900 --> 01:29:07,800
This is everybody in the body. 
Should be able as you grow to 

1518
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,500
teach the word. 
But the office of a teacher that

1519
01:29:10,500 --> 01:29:12,400
the minister gifted teacher 
actually is in full-time 

1520
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,100
Ministry. 
And has an endowment endowment 

1521
01:29:15,100 --> 01:29:18,600
from God, a Divine teaching 
ability, It's Supernatural. 

1522
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:22,600
Okay, this ministry, gift is 
great at watering the word Paul 

1523
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:25,300
first. 
In chapter 3 said, Paul or 

1524
01:29:25,300 --> 01:29:28,300
Apollo's which was a teacher 
full-time teacher can look this 

1525
01:29:28,300 --> 01:29:32,100
up, it said some soda, but he
