THEY'RE NOT LIKE HARDSHIP DECISIONS. IT'S JUST 38:23.222 --> 38:26.851 DECISIONS TO COME INTO GREATER BLESSING, DECISIONS THAT 38:26.851 --> 38:30.961 TRANSITION YOU IN FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. BUT WHEN YOU, 38:30.961 --> 38:34.202 BECAUSE YOU'VE INVESTED IN GOD, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S INVESTMENTS 38:34.202 --> 38:37.920 EVEN IN THE NATURAL THAT ARE GOING TO BEGIN TO BREAK FORTH, 38:37.920 --> 38:41.762 BE MADE KNOWN, AND BE SHOWN TO YOU. AND THE LORD IS GOING TO 38:41.762 --> 38:47.222 BLESS YOU WITH AN INCREASE OF PROSPERITY. I SEE IT VERY 38:47.222 --> 38:52.711 STRONGLY. I ALSO SEE THE LORD IS ALSO ALIGNING SOME THINGS WITH 38:52.711 --> 38:56.521 FAMILY AND DIFFERENT ONES AROUND YOU THAT IS PART OF HIS 38:56.521 --> 39:04.681 INVESTMENT AS WELL. AND I JUST SEE SOMETHING ABOUT GOD BRINGING 39:04.681 --> 39:10.411 YOU INTO A NEW PLACE AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. BUT 39:10.411 --> 39:14.282 THE LORD IS SAYING, "OPEN UP YOUR EYES WIDE BECAUSE I'M GOING 39:14.282 --> 39:18.902 TO SHOW YOU THE NEW." AND THE NEW, I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO, 39:18.902 --> 39:24.032 THAT'S PART OF THE DECISIONS IS GOD IS GOING TO ASK YOU TO STEP 39:24.032 --> 39:28.561 OUT SO THAT HE CAN BLESS YOU WITH THE NEW. THAT MEANS A HARD 39:28.561 --> 39:32.192 THING SOMETIMES IS SENTIMENTALITY, BEING AT A 39:32.192 --> 39:36.001 PLACE, DOING THINGS BECAUSE YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE IT. NOTHING 39:36.001 --> 39:39.871 WRONG WITH THAT, BUT GOD WANTS TO RELEASE YOU INTO THE NEW 39:39.871 --> 39:42.751 BECAUSE HE'S INVESTING IN YOU. AND AS A RESULT, YOU'RE GOING TO 39:42.751 --> 39:45.362 SEE INVESTMENTS THAT COME AND I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO 39:45.362 --> 39:52.920 BE WITH HOUSES, LAND, RELOCATING, FAMILY ALIGNMENTS 39:52.920 --> 40:01.532 AND BLESSINGS AND AND I SEE AN INCREASE OF YOUR ACTUAL WEALTH, 40:01.532 --> 40:09.576 IF I COULD JUST SAY IT THAT WAY. THANK YOU LORD. THANK YOU LORD. 40:09.576 --> 40:13.572 THANK YOU GOD AND I HONOR YOU AND I BLESS YOU AND WE BLESS 40:13.572 --> 40:23.351 THEM. THANK YOU LORD. THANK YOU LORD.

AND I JUST SEE THE HAND OF GOD 40:40.722 --> 40:46.992 TOUCHING A WOMAN'S HEART. AND I SEE ANOTHER, A MALE. SO THERE'S 40:46.992 --> 40:50.711 A WOMAN AND A MAN, BOTH OF YOU.

SO COME BE PART OF THAT AS WELL. 53:31.688 --> 53:34.717 AND THEN NEW YEAR'S EVE AT LORD OF HOSTS IS RIGHT AROUND THE 53:34.717 --> 53:38.768 CORNER, AND WE'RE EXCITED FOR THAT. NOW, IF YOU'RE NEW HERE, 53:38.768 --> 53:42.637 AND YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL WITH NEW YEAR'S EVE AT LOH? 53:42.637 --> 53:46.177 WELL, MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, THE LORD TOLD US TO DO A NEW YEAR'S 53:46.177 --> 53:48.248 EVE SERVICE. YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WE'RE A PROPHETIC 53:48.248 --> 53:53.527 HOUSE? AND WE BELIEVE IN PROPHESYING IN THE NEW YEAR, NOT 53:53.527 --> 53:57.788 JUST LETTING IT COME, BUT SPEAKING OVER IT, DECLARING OVER 53:57.788 --> 54:01.057 IT, AND LETTING IT BE LITERALLY WHAT PASTOR'S BEEN PROPHESYING, 54:01.057 --> 54:05.978 A SHIFT CHANGE. AND SO YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST DID IT, SOMEBODY 54:05.978 --> 54:08.318 TOLD US, THEY SAID, "OH, NOBODY WILL EVER COME TO A NEW YEAR'S 54:08.318 --> 54:10.987 EVE SERVICE. YOU WON'T HAVE ANYBODY COME THERE." AND IT'S 54:10.987 --> 54:13.987 TURNED OUT TO BE REALLY SECOND TO OPENING THE HEAVENS, OUR 54:13.987 --> 54:17.018 BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR. EVERYBODY COMES, WE HEAR THE 54:17.018 --> 54:20.108 WORD OF THE LORD. AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. 54:20.108 --> 54:24.878 IT'S A CRAZY HOLY GHOST PARTY. BUT WHAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT IS WE 54:24.878 --> 54:27.398 ALSO PRAY OVER ALL YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS FOR THE BEGINNING OF 54:27.398 --> 54:31.103 THE YEAR. SO THOSE OF YOU ONLINE, GO TO HANKANDBRENDA.ORG, 54:31.103 --> 54:34.807 GET THOSE PRAYER REQUESTS IN. AND IF YOU'RE MAILING THEM, GET 54:34.807 --> 54:38.197 THEM SENT IN, SEND THEM IN BY MAIL, AND WE WILL EITHER PRINT 54:38.197 --> 54:41.407 THEM IF YOU SUBMIT IT ELECTRONICALLY, OR IF YOU MAIL 54:41.407 --> 54:45.307 THOSE IN WITH YOUR, LET'S SAY, YOUR LAST YEAR, END OF THE YEAR 54:45.307 --> 54:49.867 GIFTS AND OFFERINGS, WE WILL GET THEM ALL UP HERE ON THE TABLES, 54:49.867 --> 54:52.360 AND WE'RE GONNA SPEAK, AND WE'RE GONNA DECLARE, AND WE'RE GONNA 54:52.360 --> 54:55.867 PRAY, AND THEN JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, WE ROLLED OUT THE RED 54:55.867 --> 54:59.768 CARPET, HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT? IT'S, RED CARPET IS 54:59.768 --> 55:02.648 ROYALTY, 'CAUSE EVERYBODY'S IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S ALSO SO WE 55:02.648 --> 55:06.427 DON'T GET OIL ALL OVER THE NEW CARPET, SO THERE IS A METHOD TO 55:06.427 --> 55:10.327 OUR NON-MADNESS, BUT ANYWAY, THAT WAS PASTOR MARK'S IDEA. 55:10.327 --> 55:13.208 THEY'RE OUT ON VACATION, BUT YOU KNOW, HE TAKES GOOD CARE OF THE 55:13.208 --> 55:17.467 BUILDING. BUT ANYWAY, WE LINE UP EVERYBODY, WALK THROUGH, AND WE 55:17.467 --> 55:21.668 ANOINT EVERY PERSON THAT ATTENDS IN PERSON WITH OIL. AND THEN 55:21.668 --> 55:24.367 WE'LL ALSO HAVE BOTTLES OF OIL UP HERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW 55:24.367 --> 55:26.827 YOU AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO LEARN HOW TO REQUEST ALL OF THOSE AND 55:26.827 --> 55:30.398 WE'LL SEND THOSE OUT AS WELL. SO HOTEL BLOCKS ARE OPEN AND 55:30.398 --> 55:33.577 AVAILABLE IF YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE. THEY'VE GOT INFORMATION 55:33.577 --> 55:38.077 UP THERE WHERE YOU CAN GO AND GET ALL THAT INFO AND GET HERE. 55:38.077 --> 55:41.858 NEW YEAR'S EVE IS GOING TO BE FIRE. I'M EXCITED. AMEN? ALL 55:41.858 --> 55:45.938 RIGHT, LET'S PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP FOR TODAY. ISAIAH 55:45.938 --> 55:50.737 55:12-13. THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE I CALL, I GET SOME OF THE BEST 55:50.737 --> 55:53.047 SCRIPTURES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE THERE WITH 55:53.047 --> 55:55.628 ME? I DON'T KNOW. I'LL GET UP AND I'LL THINK, WELL, I CAN'T 55:55.628 --> 55:58.748 SLEEP. I MIGHT AS WELL GET UP AND READ THE WORD OR PRAY OR DO 55:58.748 --> 56:01.507 SOMETHING. YOU EVER HAVE MOMENTS YOU JUST, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO 56:01.507 --> 56:08.034 LAY THERE AND TOSS AND TURN AND WAKE UP THE WHOLE FAMILY. 56:08.034 --> 56:13.706 OKAY I HEARD "HMMM", I THOUGHT GOD WAS ABOUT TO SPEAK. THAT'S 56:13.706 --> 56:17.043 GOOD. GOOD EDDIE, THANK YOU. BUT YOU GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF 56:17.043 --> 56:19.713 THE NIGHT AND, I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S THE MOMENT SOMETIMES 56:19.713 --> 56:23.215 YOU JUST TALK TO THE LORD, YOU PRAY, PRAY IN THE SPIRIT. AND I 56:23.215 --> 56:25.719 RAN ACROSS THIS SCRIPTURE, AND I KNEW IT BY HEART. THAT'S 56:25.719 --> 56:28.387 WHAT'S SO FUNNY. SOMETIMES, CAN I GIVE YOU A LITTLE 56:28.387 --> 56:31.224 TIP? SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA OPEN THE WORD EVEN TO 56:31.224 --> 56:35.061 RUN ACROSS THE SCRIPTURES YOU ALREADY KNOW. 56:35.061 --> 56:38.918 THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MIC DROP. OPEN THE WORD. OPEN THE 56:38.918 --> 56:41.918 WORD. AND SO THIS WAS THE SCRIPTURE. IT SAYS, "FOR YOU 56:41.918 --> 56:46.208 SHALL GO OUT WITH JOY AND BE LED FORTH WITH PEACE." SOMEBODY SAY, 56:46.208 --> 56:49.717 "PEACE." THAT'S A BOOK I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. THAT 56:49.717 --> 56:53.018 YOU'RE LED FORTH WITH PEACE. THAT IN OTHER WORDS, THERE'S NOT 56:53.018 --> 56:56.346 GOING TO BE CHAOS IN THE JOURNEY. "THE MOUNTAINS AND THE 56:56.346 --> 57:00.487 HILLS SHALL BREAK FORTH BEFORE YOU INTO SINGING," HALLELUJAH, 57:00.487 --> 57:04.838 "AND ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD SHALL CLAP THEIR HANDS." NOW 57:04.838 --> 57:08.427 THIS IS THE NEXT VERSE. THIS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT YOU TO SEE. 57:08.427 --> 57:13.099 GO TO VERSE 13. "INSTEAD OF," NOW SOMEBODY SAY, "INSTEAD OF." 57:13.099 --> 57:19.297 "INSTEAD OF THE THORN SHALL COME UP THE FIR TREE AND INSTEAD OF," 57:19.297 --> 57:23.588 IN OTHER WORDS, SAY INSTEAD OF AGAIN, "IN PLACE OF THE BRIAR 57:23.588 --> 57:28.237 SHALL COME UP THE MYRTLE TREE." NOW, I LOOKED AT THAT AND THE 57:28.237 --> 57:31.987 LORD REMINDED ME, AND HERE IN THE MARGIN OF MY BIBLE, THIS IS 57:31.987 --> 57:36.157 WHY YOU WRITE IN YOUR BIBLE, IN THE MARGIN OF MY BIBLE, I SAW 57:36.157 --> 57:39.878 THE WORDS THAT I HAD PENNED OUT AT SOME POINT, AND IT SAID, 57:39.878 --> 57:45.728 "EXPECT DIFFERENT." AND IT REMINDED ME THAT NO MATTER WHAT 57:45.728 --> 57:50.108 YOU'RE DEALING WITH, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR FINANCES, THAT 57:50.108 --> 57:54.188 IF YOU'VE BEEN, 'CAUSE EVERYBODY, LET'S FACE IT, GOES 57:54.188 --> 57:58.297 THROUGH CHALLENGES. JESUS SAID, "IN THIS WORLD, YOU WILL HAVE 57:58.297 --> 58:02.648 TROUBLED TIMES. "YOU WILL FACE THINGS." OKAY, EVEN WHAT PASTOR 58:02.648 --> 58:05.737 PRAYED OVER PEOPLE THIS MORNING, PEOPLE GO THROUGH THINGS, 58:05.737 --> 58:09.458 THEY'RE BATTLING THROUGH SOMETHING IN THEIR OWN LIFE, 58:09.458 --> 58:11.768 WITH THEIR FAMILY, IT COULD BE FINANCIAL, IT COULD BE THEIR 58:11.768 --> 58:15.757 HEALTH, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR FINANCES, RATHER THAN JUST 58:15.757 --> 58:21.007 SEE A SEASON AGAIN OF MAYBE IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S LACK, 'CAUSE 58:21.007 --> 58:23.827 EVEN THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID IT, HE SAID, "I KNOW HOW TO BE 58:23.827 --> 58:27.697 ABASED, AND I KNOW HOW TO ABOUND." IN OTHER WORDS, I CAN 58:27.697 --> 58:32.438 NAVIGATE WITH CLARITY AND STABILITY BOTH KINDS OF SEASONS. 58:32.438 --> 58:36.097 I CAN GO THROUGH A SEASON WHERE THERE'S ABUNDANCE, THAT I CAN 58:36.097 --> 58:39.307 NAVIGATE THE TIMES JUST AS WELL WHERE IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE 58:39.307 --> 58:43.117 THERE'S ENOUGH. AND WHAT I WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY IS EXPECT 58:43.117 --> 58:46.657 DIFFERENT. HOW MANY OF YOU IN THIS ROOM AND YOU WATCHING 58:46.657 --> 58:51.398 ONLINE, YOU HAVE SEEN GOD BLESS YOU, ANSWER A PRAYER, OR DO A 58:51.398 --> 58:55.538 MIRACLE AT SOME POINT? SO THE REMINDER FOR US IS GO BACK TO 58:55.538 --> 59:01.327 THAT. INSTEAD OF EXPECTING MORE DISAPPOINTMENT, EXPECT FRUIT. 59:01.327 --> 59:05.527 AMEN. EXPECT A BLESSING. SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT GOD, IT MIGHT LOOK 59:05.527 --> 59:07.380 LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA GET THROUGH THIS. I DON'T KNOW 59:07.380 --> 59:10.476 HOW I'M GONNA NAVIGATE THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA PAY 59:10.476 --> 59:14.257 THAT BILL. CAN I TELL YOU, I'VE SEEN GOD PAY SO MANY BILLS I 59:14.257 --> 59:16.867 DIDN'T KNOW HOW THEY WERE GETTING PAID AND GOD DID IT. 59:16.867 --> 59:22.927 COME ON SOMEBODY. PASTOR AND I WERE REFLECTING JUST THE OTHER 59:22.927 --> 59:27.427 DAY ABOUT HOW WE GOT STARTED IN THE MINISTRY. AND WE WOULD GET 59:27.427 --> 59:30.637 OUR OLD CAR OUT. AND I MEAN, FOR US, IT WAS NEW, BUT IT WAS 59:30.637 --> 59:34.177 ALREADY LIKE SIX YEARS OLD. AND WE WOULD TRAVEL AROUND, MAYBE 59:34.177 --> 59:39.487 SEVEN. A NEW CAR WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD. THINK ABOUT THAT. AND WE 59:39.487 --> 59:44.288 WOULD DRIVE. WE DIDN'T FLY IN A JET TO GO PREACH. WE WOULD DRIVE 59:44.288 --> 59:49.807 ACROSS BARRON, NEBRASKA AND GO PREACH IN LITTLE CHURCHES. AND 59:49.807 --> 59:53.018 YOU KNOW, THERE WAS NO FIVE STAR HOTEL. WE'D STAY IN THE PASTOR'S 59:53.018 --> 59:58.987 GARAGE. AND LITERALLY, I MEAN, AND BELIEVE GOD FOR EVERY DOLLAR 59:58.987 --> 01:00:03.398 AT THAT TIME. AND WE HAD BILLS AT THAT TIME. I THOUGHT, GOD, WE 01:00:03.398 --> 01:00:06.398 ARE DOOMED. I MEAN, WE ARE DOOMED. WE THOUGHT WE WERE 01:00:06.398 --> 01:00:09.458 DOOMED. AND WE THOUGHT IF WE TITHE AND GAVE OFFERINGS THAT WE 01:00:09.458 --> 01:00:12.038 WERE GONNA GO UNDER AND BE ON THE STREET AND SLEEPING UNDER A 01:00:12.038 --> 01:00:14.677 BRIDGE. I MEAN, IT FELT LIKE THAT SOMETIMES. ANYBODY EVER 01:00:14.677 --> 01:00:18.038 BEEN THERE? YOU THOUGHT, GOD, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE DOING THIS. 01:00:18.038 --> 01:00:21.878 AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE SAT HERE HOW MANY TIMES AND LOOK BACK ON 01:00:21.878 --> 01:00:25.268 THAT SEASON, AND I'M SITTING HERE GOING, YOU KNOW WHAT, GOD, 01:00:25.268 --> 01:00:30.693 WE'RE STILL HERE. COME ON, YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM, YOU'RE 01:00:30.693 --> 01:00:36.603 ALIVE, YOU'RE STILL HERE. YOU'RE STILL HERE, GOD MADE IT THROUGH 01:00:36.603 --> 01:00:42.454 FOR YOU. I DON'T THINK ANY OF US ARE STARVING. WE'RE ON THE OTHER 01:00:42.454 --> 01:00:49.414 SIDE. SO INSTEAD OF THAT THORN AGAIN, EXPECT TO SEE SOMETHING 01:00:49.414 --> 01:00:53.673 NEW. EXPECT TO SEE YOUR HARVEST. WHEN YOU GIVE THAT OFFERING, 01:00:53.673 --> 01:00:57.063 COME ON, WE'RE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. WE'RE GETTING THOSE FINAL 01:00:57.063 --> 01:01:00.693 OFFERINGS OF 2025 IN THE DOOR. WE'RE PUTTING IN THOSE FINAL 01:01:00.693 --> 01:01:04.713 TIES. WE'RE HITTING THE FINISH LINE, MAN, COME ON. AND YOU KNOW 01:01:04.713 --> 01:01:08.168 WHAT? WHEN YOU PUT THAT IN, DO IT BY FAITH AND SAY, I'M GOING 01:01:08.168 --> 01:01:12.123 TO SEE THE BLESSING OF A FRUITFUL HARVEST IN THE NAME OF 01:01:12.123 --> 01:01:16.173 JESUS. I'M NOT GOING TO SEE MORE DISAPPOINTMENT. I'M NOT GOING TO 01:01:16.173 --> 01:01:22.514 SEE FAILURE. I'M NOT GOING TO SEE BARRENNESS. NO, I REJECT IT 01:01:22.514 --> 01:01:27.659 IN THE NAME OF JESUS. IN FACT, LET'S GET THE OFFERING UP. I 01:01:27.659 --> 01:01:30.514 WANT TO DECLARE THAT TODAY. LET'S PUT THAT UP THERE. WE'RE 01:01:30.514 --> 01:01:36.094 GOING TO DECLARE. I REJECT, I REJECT ANY DEVOURER. IN FACT, 01:01:36.094 --> 01:01:39.603 THAT WAS THAT AS YOU'RE GETTING YOUR GIVING READY. THAT WAS THE 01:01:39.603 --> 01:01:42.153 REMINDER THE LORD GAVE ME TOO. HE SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS 01:01:42.153 --> 01:01:46.384 YEAR, I TOLD YOU, I WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER FOR YOUR SAKE WHEN 01:01:46.384 --> 01:01:50.815 YOU GIVE. SO IF GOD WILL REBUKE THE DEVOURER, WHATEVER'S TRYING 01:01:50.815 --> 01:01:53.253 TO DEVOUR WHEN YOU'RE TITHING AND YOU'RE GIVING YOUR 01:01:53.253 --> 01:01:58.954 OFFERINGS, GOD SAID HE'LL REBUKE ANYTHING THE DEVIL TRIES. HE'LL 01:01:58.954 --> 01:02:04.608 REBUKE IT. IT CAN'T DEVOUR. SO NO MORE EXPECTING, NO 01:02:04.608 --> 01:02:08.894 MORE EXPECTING THE THORN. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, 01:02:08.894 --> 01:02:11.221 WHEN YOU GET YOUR OFFERING READY, STAND UP. MAN, 01:02:11.224 --> 01:02:16.684 I'M EXCITED. WE'RE GONNA DECLARE THIS IN JESUS' NAME.

GOD SAID, WELL, YOUR WORDS 01:02:35.284 --> 01:02:39.454 CAN'T BE STOUT AGAINST ME. TALK FAITH. EVERY TIME YOU PUT THAT 01:02:39.454 --> 01:02:44.643 TITHE IN YOUR HAND, TREAT IT LIKE IT'S A NUCLEAR BOMB AGAINST 01:02:44.643 --> 01:02:50.643 THE DEVIL. IN FACT, I GOT SO EXCITED AT ONE POINT IN 01:02:50.643 --> 01:02:55.054 NOVEMBER. I SAID, "LORD, I AM DETERMINED ABOUT THIS. I'M 01:02:55.054 --> 01:02:58.923 ENDING THIS YEAR IN HARVEST.” I AM ENDING IT IN HARVEST. THE 01:02:58.923 --> 01:03:01.324 DEVIL HAS TRIED A LOT. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HAD THE DEVIL TRY 01:03:01.324 --> 01:03:06.784 SOME STUFF IN 2025? I AM ENDING THIS IN HARVEST. AND SO I SAID, 01:03:06.784 --> 01:03:11.494 "YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GIVING MY DECEMBER TITHE EARLY." I WAS 01:03:11.494 --> 01:03:14.344 LIKE, "I'M DOING IT, I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE. WHATEVER, 01:03:14.344 --> 01:03:18.304 I'M PUTTING IT IN THERE.” AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GONNA SEE THE 01:03:18.304 --> 01:03:23.614 HARVEST. NO THORNS, COME ON, NO LACK, NOTHING. WE ARE GONNA 01:03:23.614 --> 01:03:28.083 EXPECT A FULL, ABUNDANT BLOOM OF WHAT GOD HAS. PUT YOUR HAND UP, 01:03:28.083 --> 01:03:35.463 SAY THESE WORDS. I REJECT ALL FINANCIAL BARRENNESS.

I EXPECT IT TO COME UPON ME. NOW, THE LAST THING 01:04:09.273 --> 01:04:14.074 I'LL SAY IS GOD SAYS, "AND IT SHALL BE FOR THE LORD A NAME." 01:04:14.074 --> 01:04:18.123 PRAISE GOD AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. SPEND IT PRAISING AND 01:04:18.123 --> 01:04:21.543 THANKING HIM FOR ALL HE DID FOR YOU. IT SHALL BE FOR THE LORD A 01:04:21.543 --> 01:04:26.824 NAME. YOUR TEST WILL BECOME A TESTIMONY. HALLELUJAH.

YOU'RE GONNA ENJOY THIS AS 01:06:25.429 --> 01:06:29.313 YOU'RE WATCHING THAT. I HIT THIS BUMP, AND I WENT OFF TO THE 01:06:29.313 --> 01:06:32.583 SIDE, BUT I STILL MAINTAINED, AND I WENT, AND I WENT OFF 01:06:32.583 --> 01:06:36.664 COURSE, AND I WENT THROUGH A PART OF A CORNFIELD, AND ALL OF 01:06:36.664 --> 01:06:41.643 THOSE OLD STALKS, I DIDN'T HAVE GLOVES ON, WE'RE GOING, WHOOSH 01:06:41.643 --> 01:06:46.503 THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, BUT MUSCLE IS TOUGH, YOU KNOW, SO. ANYWAY, 01:06:46.503 --> 01:06:50.253 Y'ALL REMEMBER THOSE DAYS? ARE Y'ALL WITH ME? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, 01:06:50.253 --> 01:06:54.664 I MEAN, THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES, SO.

HOW MANY OF YOU, 01:07:02.943 --> 01:07:05.494 IF YOU'RE WATCHING, PUT YOUR HANDS UP. I'LL TELL YOU, OUR 01:07:05.494 --> 01:07:08.050 DOGS, MAN, I WAS SPOILING THEM. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO 01:07:08.050 --> 01:07:10.574 DO THAT, I GUESS, RIGHT? BUT I SPOILED THEM. I KEPT FEEDING 01:07:10.574 --> 01:07:16.233 THEM TURKEY WHEN BRENDA WASN'T LOOKING, AND THEN I EVEN GAVE 01:07:16.233 --> 01:07:22.114 THEM ICE CREAM. SO, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL LIKE THIS. BUT WE 01:07:22.114 --> 01:07:25.711 HAD SOMEBODY, ONE OF OUR FAITHFUL E-MEMBERS, 01:07:25.711 --> 01:07:30.693 SEND ME A GELATO MACHINE. YEAH, SO WE'VE BEEN 01:07:30.693 --> 01:07:36.514 PUTTING IT TO GREAT USE. NOT ME, BUT KATE, SHE'S ON VACATION. SHE 01:07:36.514 --> 01:07:42.273 MADE ME GELATO. IT TASTES LIKE IF YOU WERE TO GO TO THE GELATO 01:07:42.273 --> 01:07:46.653 STORE. AND SO I HAD GELATO AND I TOLD KATE, I SAID, "DON'T MAKE 01:07:46.653 --> 01:07:50.827 ME ANY MORE." NOT FOR A WHILE, 'TIL I, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I MEAN, 01:07:50.827 --> 01:07:53.914 I'M GONNA EAT IT AND THEN WE GOTTA FAST. AND SO I CAN'T BE 01:07:53.914 --> 01:07:58.411 LIKE ON THIS FAST AND I HEAR THESE VOICES, OPEN THE FREEZER. 01:07:58.411 --> 01:08:00.413 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) 01:08:00.413 --> 01:08:05.219 YES, LORD, I WILL OBEY THAT AND TAKE THAT AS PART OF MY FAST. I 01:08:05.222 --> 01:08:08.253 WON'T HAVE GELATO IN THE MORNING, I'LL HAVE IT AT NIGHT. 01:08:08.253 --> 01:08:10.804 THERE YOU GO, SO WE CAN DO ALL THAT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S OPEN OUR 01:08:10.804 --> 01:08:16.113 BIBLES, LET'S GET INTO THIS. AND WE'LL HAVE SOME FUN HERE, AMEN. 01:08:16.113 --> 01:08:18.453 PASTOR BRENDA, ARE YOU STILL PREACHING YOUR MESSAGE ON 01:08:18.453 --> 01:08:22.384 WEDNESDAY? ALL RIGHT, SHE'S GONNA CONTINUE ON THE MESSAGE OF 01:08:22.384 --> 01:08:25.654 THE SEVEN CHURCHES. HASN'T THAT BEEN AMAZING? I MEAN, SHE HAS 01:08:25.654 --> 01:08:31.503 PREACHED MY NOTES SO INCREDIBLE. NO, SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB. ON 01:08:31.503 --> 01:08:33.963 HER OWN, SHE'S, OH, STOP. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU CAN DO THAT, 01:08:33.963 --> 01:08:37.533 WARM YOURSELF UP. YOU GUYS ARE ACTING LIKE THE FROZEN CHOSEN IN 01:08:37.533 --> 01:08:42.003 YOU, YOU KNOW, NO, YOU'RE NOT, OKAY. I WANNA TALK AGAIN ABOUT 01:08:42.003 --> 01:08:45.123 REALLY TWO PRINCIPLES THAT I THINK ARE THE FOUNDATION OF 01:08:45.123 --> 01:08:49.444 EVERY CHRISTIAN. IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS A GOOD REMINDER, NOT 01:08:49.444 --> 01:08:53.344 ONLY FOR THIS VESSEL, BUT I THINK FOR ALL OF US. AS 01:08:53.344 --> 01:08:57.543 CHRISTIANS, ONCE YOU GIVE YOUR HEART TO GOD, TO JESUS, AND YOU 01:08:57.543 --> 01:09:00.604 SAY, "JESUS, COME INTO MY HEART," HOW DO WE CHOOSE TO 01:09:00.604 --> 01:09:10.923 LIVE? HOW DO WE CHOOSE TO ACT? WHAT ARE SOME OF OUR CHOICES? DO 01:09:10.923 --> 01:09:17.493 WE CHOOSE TO STILL BE KINDA LIKE THE OLD GRUMPY, ANGRY, TOUCHY 01:09:17.493 --> 01:09:21.694 PERSON THAT WE USED TO BE? ARE WE A PERSON THAT'S GOTTA HAVE 01:09:21.694 --> 01:09:27.094 EVERYTHING OUR WAY SO WE NEVER CAN SUBMIT TO YAHWEH? ARE WE ALL 01:09:27.094 --> 01:09:31.264 ABOUT OUR WILL THAT WE CAN'T PRAY PRAYERS LIKE LET THY 01:09:31.264 --> 01:09:34.623 KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL BE DONE IN MY LIFE AS IT IS IN HEAVEN? 01:09:34.623 --> 01:09:37.863 WE SKIP OVER THAT PART OF THE LORD'S PRAYER. WE JUST GET OVER 01:09:37.863 --> 01:09:42.064 INTO THE PART ABOUT GIVE US OUR DAILY BREAD. AND I THINK THAT 01:09:42.064 --> 01:09:45.484 THERE'S SOMETHING THAT I FEEL VERY STRONGLY AND THAT IS, YOU 01:09:45.484 --> 01:09:49.323 KNOW, WE'VE GONE THROUGH AS A PEOPLE AND ESPECIALLY IN 01:09:49.323 --> 01:09:54.753 AMERICA, WE'VE GONE THROUGH WHAT WE WOULD CALL A SIFTING OR A 01:09:54.753 --> 01:09:59.493 SHAKING AND THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AND GOD TOLD 01:09:59.493 --> 01:10:03.154 US THAT THE DECADE WOULD START OFF HARSH AND THEN WE WOULD COME 01:10:03.154 --> 01:10:06.003 INTO REST. HOW MANY REMEMBER THAT? AND SO WE KNOW THAT'S 01:10:06.003 --> 01:10:08.404 WHERE WE'RE HEADING AND THAT'S WHAT I'M DEMANDING FROM THE 01:10:08.404 --> 01:10:11.673 THRONE OF GOD IS LISTEN, YOU SAID FOR THE PEOPLE, YOU SAID 01:10:11.673 --> 01:10:14.493 FOR THIS NATION, AND I WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER AND I'M 01:10:14.493 --> 01:10:19.054 NOT. AND I'M GONNA CONTINUE TO BE RESPECTFULLY AND HONORABLY IN 01:10:19.054 --> 01:10:23.823 THE BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL PRESENCE AND FACE OF GOD 'CAUSE 01:10:23.823 --> 01:10:28.083 THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. I'M GONNA HOLD HIM TO IT. AND SO AS WE 01:10:28.083 --> 01:10:32.373 STARTED OFF WITH THE SHAKING AND THE SIFTING, WE WENT INTO WHAT 01:10:32.373 --> 01:10:36.394 GOD SAID WAS A SHIFT CHANGE, AND THAT'S WHAT IS UPON US NOW. 01:10:36.394 --> 01:10:40.533 THAT'S WHY WE SAW SUCH A GREAT THING THAT CAPTURED THE NATION 01:10:40.533 --> 01:10:43.444 IN SOMETHING THAT IS JUST KIND OF A DIFFERENT NAME, TURNING 01:10:43.444 --> 01:10:47.262 POINT. I MEAN, IT GOES RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE BIG PICTURE OF 01:10:47.262 --> 01:10:50.863 WHAT GOD IS SAYING. YEAH, HAS IT COME WITH SORROW? HAS IT COME 01:10:50.863 --> 01:10:56.083 WITH PAIN? HAS IT COME WITH CHALLENGES, DISAPPOINTMENTS? YOU 01:10:56.083 --> 01:10:59.354 KNOW, I WAS PRAYING THE OTHER NIGHT AND I SAID TO THE LORD, I 01:10:59.354 --> 01:11:03.314 SAID, LORD, YOU KNOW, IF I WAS HONESTLY TO LOOK BACK AT 2025 01:11:03.314 --> 01:11:06.432 AND I WENT OUT INTO MY SUNROOM, WE HAVE LIKE A LITTLE SUNROOM, 01:11:06.432 --> 01:11:08.802 AND I WENT OUT THERE AND I SAID, NOW I'M GONNA JUST SPEND ABOUT 01:11:08.802 --> 01:11:12.552 15 MINUTES IN THIS SUNROOM HERE. AND I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW 01:11:12.552 --> 01:11:16.993 THAT I THINK SOME OF 2025 HAS NOT BEEN THAT ENJOYABLE. AND I 01:11:16.993 --> 01:11:20.503 JUST WANNA SAY THAT TO YOU BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THAT IN MY 01:11:20.503 --> 01:11:24.823 SOUL. I DON'T WANT THE ENEMY TO THINK THAT HE HAD ANY ADVANTAGE 01:11:24.823 --> 01:11:28.123 OVER ME OR THAT HE THINKS IN ANY WAY THAT I'M GOING TO BRING AN 01:11:28.123 --> 01:11:31.694 INDICTMENT AGAINST THE HONOR OF YOU, MY GOD. BUT I JUST GOTTA 01:11:31.694 --> 01:11:35.384 LET YOU KNOW, HERE'S A COUPLE THINGS THAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT 01:11:35.384 --> 01:11:38.475 THIS YEAR AS I'M PREPARING FOR A NEW YEAR. AND I JUST KIND OF 01:11:38.475 --> 01:11:41.083 TOLD HIM THAT. AND THEN I SAID, ALL RIGHT, NOW I'M DONE. I'VE 01:11:41.083 --> 01:11:44.203 GOT 10 MINUTES HERE. NOW I'M GONNA GO IN AND ALL I'M GONNA DO 01:11:44.203 --> 01:11:47.623 IS WORSHIP YOU AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS OF 01:11:47.623 --> 01:11:52.783 2025. AND GOD SPOKE SOMETHING TO ME. HE SPOKE THE SCRIPTURE, 01:11:52.783 --> 01:11:55.873 EPHESIANS 3:20, AND I WANNA START WITH THIS, I GUESS. I 01:11:55.873 --> 01:11:59.953 DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. BUT GO TO EPHESIANS 3:20, AND WE 01:11:59.953 --> 01:12:06.115 OFTEN PRAY THIS. AND IT SAYS, "TO THE GOD, NOW UNTO HIM," NOW 01:12:06.115 --> 01:12:10.873 THIS IS TALKING ABOUT GOD, "WHO'S ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY 01:12:10.873 --> 01:12:15.432 ABUNDANTLY "ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, "ACCORDING TO THAT 01:12:15.432 --> 01:12:18.432 POWER THAT WORKS WITH US." NOW KEEP THAT VERSE THERE, AND THOSE 01:12:18.432 --> 01:12:22.213 OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, SO WHAT IS GOD SAYING TO US AS 01:12:22.213 --> 01:12:26.203 WE'RE HEADING INTO, WE'RE COMING OUT OF THE SIFTING, THE SHAKING, 01:12:26.203 --> 01:12:29.052 WE'RE IN A SHIFT CHANGE, AND NOW HE'S SAYING AS WE'RE HEADING 01:12:29.052 --> 01:12:32.354 INTO 2026, WE'RE COMING INTO THE SWIFT, WE'RE COMING INTO THE 01:12:32.354 --> 01:12:36.222 ACCELERATION OF WHAT GOD HAS BEEN SAYING AND WHAT HE IS GOING 01:12:36.222 --> 01:12:40.213 TO DO AND WHAT HE DESIRES. NOW IT'S IMPORTANT AS WE ENTER IN 01:12:40.213 --> 01:12:45.613 TOMORROW, DECEMBER 1ST, WE'RE 31 DAYS AWAY FROM THE CALENDAR YEAR 01:12:45.613 --> 01:12:50.234 SHIFTING OVER, TURNING, THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. DON'T 01:12:50.234 --> 01:12:55.753 DO WHAT I DID FOR LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES. TALK ABOUT ALL THE BAD 01:12:55.753 --> 01:12:58.694 AND ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU WISH WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT ABOUT 01:12:58.694 --> 01:13:02.592 2025 AND YOU REHEARSE YOUR PAIN, YOU REHEARSE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS, 01:13:02.592 --> 01:13:04.814 YOU REHEARSE YOUR DISAPPOINTMENTS, YOU REHEARSE 01:13:04.814 --> 01:13:08.444 THE WHAT DIDN'T, THE WHAT SHOULD'VE. BUT INSTEAD WE NEED 01:13:08.444 --> 01:13:12.912 TO REHEARSE OUR VICTORIES AND PREPARE FOR THE SWIFT. PREPARE 01:13:12.912 --> 01:13:16.182 FOR WHAT WE'VE BEEN CONTENDING AND BELIEVING FOR. NOW, WHEN I 01:13:16.182 --> 01:13:18.912 HAD READ THIS VERSE, THE SPIRIT OF GOD SPOKE THIS TO ME. HE 01:13:18.912 --> 01:13:23.293 SAID, "HANK, MOST PEOPLE THINK "THAT THAT IS JUST AN EARTHLY 01:13:23.293 --> 01:13:26.713 VERSE." AND I STOPPED AND I THOUGHT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 01:13:26.713 --> 01:13:29.444 THAT? NOW UNTO HIM THAT'S ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ON 01:13:29.444 --> 01:13:34.363 ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK. NOW, IS THAT JUST LIMITED TO THE 01:13:34.363 --> 01:13:39.253 EARTH? NO, I STARTED THINKING, WAIT A MINUTE, I'VE GOT A 01:13:39.253 --> 01:13:44.384 MANSION UP IN HEAVEN. I'VE GOT STREETS OF GOLD. I GET TO BE 01:13:44.384 --> 01:13:48.823 WITH GOD FOR ALL ETERNITY. BRENDA AND I, WE'RE LIVING 01:13:48.823 --> 01:13:53.923 TOGETHER IN HEAVEN WITHOUT THE MARRIAGE STUFF, BUT YOU ALL GET 01:13:53.923 --> 01:13:57.703 THAT G-RATED HERE, BUT I'M GONNA HAVE MY MANSION, SHE'S GONNA 01:13:57.703 --> 01:14:00.542 HAVE HERS, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BREEZEWAY BETWEEN THE TWO OF 01:14:00.542 --> 01:14:04.064 THEM. AND WHEN I NEED TO TELL HER, DON'T DECORATE MY MANSION, 01:14:04.064 --> 01:14:07.154 THIS IS MINE, I FINALLY HAVE OWNERSHIP, YOU NEED TO GO TO 01:14:07.154 --> 01:14:10.722 YOURS, SHE CAN JUST WALK RIGHT THROUGH THE BREEZEWAY, AND SHE 01:14:10.722 --> 01:14:14.472 CAN BE AND DECORATE AND HAVE AS MUCH TREES AND PLANTS AND FISH 01:14:14.472 --> 01:14:17.623 AND ANYTHING ELSE SHE WANTS. BUT I STARTED REALIZING THIS, I 01:14:17.623 --> 01:14:22.453 SAID, WAIT A MINUTE, THIS ISN'T JUST A NATURAL VERSE THAT GIVES 01:14:22.453 --> 01:14:26.923 US HOPE ABOUT GOD THAT DOES EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY BEYOND 01:14:26.923 --> 01:14:33.342 ALL WE COULD ASK. THIS IS GOD, THIS IS WHO GOD IS. GOD IS A 01:14:33.342 --> 01:14:38.472 GOD, NO MATTER IF IT'S IN HEAVEN OR THE EARTH, OR YOUR LIFE, YOUR 01:14:38.472 --> 01:14:42.073 MARRIAGE, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FINANCES, YOUR HEALTH, HE WILL 01:14:42.073 --> 01:14:48.583 ALWAYS, BECAUSE OF HIS NATURE, DO EXCEEDINGLY ABOVE AND BEYOND 01:14:48.583 --> 01:14:54.552 ALL WE ASK OR THINK. SO LET THAT BE IN YOUR HEART. LET THAT BE IN 01:14:54.552 --> 01:14:59.894 YOUR UNDERSTANDING AS YOU CONTEND IN THE FAITH. FOR 01:14:59.894 --> 01:15:05.863 WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU ARE ASKING, THINKING, DESIRING GOD, 01:15:05.863 --> 01:15:08.894 IT IS GONNA BE BETTER THAN ANY DISAPPOINTMENT THAT I HAD TO 01:15:08.894 --> 01:15:12.972 DEAL WITH. IT'S GONNA BE BETTER THAN ANYTHING THAT I HAD TO 01:15:12.972 --> 01:15:17.472 OVERCOME, ANY CHALLENGE, COME ON, ANY FRUSTRATION. YOU KNOW, 01:15:17.472 --> 01:15:19.694 TRY NOT TO USE THE WORD FRUSTRATION. YOU KNOW WHAT 01:15:19.694 --> 01:15:22.021 BRENDA TOLD ME? SHE SAID SHE DID A STUDY ON THE 01:15:22.021 --> 01:15:24.314 WORD FRUSTRATION AND IT MEANS WHAT, BRENDA? 01:15:24.314 --> 01:15:25.192 - IT MEANS TO BE HINDERED. 01:15:25.192 --> 01:15:28.154 - IT MEANS TO BE HINDERED. SO DON'T SAY, I'M FRUSTRATED, 01:15:28.154 --> 01:15:32.564 'CAUSE THEN ALL WE'RE DOING IS RELEASING LOW-LEVEL DEVILS ABOUT 01:15:32.564 --> 01:15:38.923 THE SIZE OF THAT GECKO CHAMELEON AND THEY HINDER YOU. DON'T SAY, 01:15:38.923 --> 01:15:44.354 I'M FRUSTRATED. START LOOKING AT THE NATURE OF GOD THAT DOES 01:15:44.354 --> 01:15:47.970 EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL WE ASK FOR. AND I SAY IT 01:15:47.970 --> 01:15:51.342 BECAUSE I TOLD BRENDA, I SAID, "STARTING TOMORROW, DECEMBER 01:15:51.342 --> 01:15:55.694 1ST, "WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE COMMUNION TOGETHER EVERY DAY. 01:15:55.694 --> 01:15:59.472 "AND WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THANKS AND REHEARSE OUR VICTORIES. 01:15:59.472 --> 01:16:01.993 "WE'RE GONNA GET OUT OUR PRAYER SHEETS, WHICH WE DO ANYWAY, "BUT 01:16:01.993 --> 01:16:06.493 WE'RE GONNA DO IT FOR 31 DAYS, SOLID. "AND WE ARE GONNA 01:16:06.493 --> 01:16:10.123 CONTINUE TO SAY, "LORD, YOU HEAR OUR PRAYERS, "YOU HAVE ANSWERED 01:16:10.123 --> 01:16:14.144 OUR PETITIONS, AND WE ARE NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER, AND 01:16:14.144 --> 01:16:18.073 THIS IS WHAT WE CELEBRATE AND HONOR YOU, OUR GOD, WHO DOES 01:16:18.073 --> 01:16:20.533 EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL WE COULD ASK FOR." SO I'M 01:16:20.533 --> 01:16:23.984 JUST CHALLENGING YOU IN THAT. NOW, WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? IS 01:16:23.984 --> 01:16:28.993 BECAUSE IF YOU GET INTO A PLACE WHERE YOU REHEARSE YOUR 01:16:28.993 --> 01:16:32.833 DISAPPOINTMENTS, YOUR FRUSTRATIONS, YOUR PAIN, WHAT 01:16:32.833 --> 01:16:35.984 ISN'T WORKING OUT, WHAT DIDN'T WORK OUT, IT WILL START 01:16:35.984 --> 01:16:42.253 AFFECTING THE WAY YOU VIEW GOD. YOU'LL START PUTTING HANDCUFFS 01:16:42.253 --> 01:16:47.444 ON GOD. YOU WILL, YOU'LL START LIMITING HIM BECAUSE YOU DON'T 01:16:47.444 --> 01:16:54.162 THINK THAT HE'S FOR YOU. AND GOD SAID, IF I AM FOR YOU, WHO OR 01:16:54.162 --> 01:16:58.033 WHAT CAN BE AGAINST YOU? IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL, IF WE FOCUS 01:16:58.033 --> 01:17:01.512 ON ALL THE THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T GET, DIDN'T HAVE, SHOULD HAVE 01:17:01.512 --> 01:17:05.262 HAD, IT WILL ALTER YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. AND IF 01:17:05.262 --> 01:17:10.003 YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, WHEN YOU GO BEFORE HIM, YOU WILL NOT BE IN 01:17:10.003 --> 01:17:16.064 POSITION TO ACCESS WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK FOR. YOU DON'T 01:17:16.064 --> 01:17:20.262 HAVE TO ASK WHEN YOU COME TO THE THRONE ROOM FOR GRACE. YOU DON'T 01:17:20.262 --> 01:17:24.613 EVEN HAVE TO ASK FOR MERCY. YOU REALLY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK 01:17:24.613 --> 01:17:28.484 FOR HELP. IT SAYS YOU ARE TO COME BOLDLY BECAUSE YOU ALREADY 01:17:28.484 --> 01:17:33.253 KNOW THE NATURE OF GOD, WHAT YESHUA PAID FOR, AND WHEN YOU 01:17:33.253 --> 01:17:38.894 COME, EXPECT WHATEVER IT IS, GRACE, WHATEVER IT IS, MERCY, 01:17:38.894 --> 01:17:43.753 AND WHATEVER IT IS, YOU'RE GOING TO GET HELP. YOU HAVE TO 01:17:43.753 --> 01:17:52.838 APPROACH GOD THAT WAY. IF YOU HAVE A OOMPH INSIDE YOUR HEART, 01:17:52.842 --> 01:17:57.613 IT WILL RESTRICT YOUR ABILITY TO BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL DO IT, OR 01:17:57.613 --> 01:18:02.262 THAT HE WANTS TO DO IT, OR THAT GOD IS A GOOD GOD. AND THE 01:18:02.262 --> 01:18:06.314 REASON HE WANTS TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO EPHESIANS 3:20, AND 01:18:06.314 --> 01:18:09.253 GOD'S TAKING MY MESSAGE A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AT THIS 01:18:09.253 --> 01:18:13.634 POINT, IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT JUST AN 01:18:13.634 --> 01:18:18.884 EARTHLY SCRIPTURE, IT'S NOT EVEN JUST A HEAVENLY SCRIPTURE, IT IS 01:18:18.884 --> 01:18:24.162 GOD'S SCRIPTURE OF HIS CHARACTER, HIS HEART, HIS NATURE 01:18:24.162 --> 01:18:29.262 OF WHO HE IS. AND WHEN YOU SETTLE THAT, YOU POSITION 01:18:29.262 --> 01:18:40.243 YOURSELF FOR THE BLESSING. I'VE HAD TIMES IN MY LIFE WHERE I'VE 01:18:40.243 --> 01:18:45.793 HAD TO GET THAT STUFF OUT OF MY SOUL. BECAUSE WHEN I COME TO 01:18:45.793 --> 01:18:54.162 GOD, I WILL NEVER COME TO EVER MAKE IT LOOK LIKE OR NEVER IN MY 01:18:54.162 --> 01:18:58.543 HEART WILL I EVER BE BROUGHT TO A PLACE WHERE I BRING AN 01:18:58.543 --> 01:19:03.823 INDICTMENT BEFORE GOD. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? YOU DIDN'T. WHY 01:19:03.823 --> 01:19:09.854 DIDN'T YOU? WHY DID THIS? EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT COMES FROM 01:19:09.854 --> 01:19:13.363 THE FATHER OF LIGHTS. WHEN YOU APPROACH GOD, YOU HAVE TO 01:19:13.363 --> 01:19:19.182 POSITION YOURSELF IN HONOR. THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. GOD 01:19:19.182 --> 01:19:23.113 ALREADY TOLD YOU HIS NATURE. HEY, I WILL DO ABOVE WHAT YOU 01:19:23.113 --> 01:19:25.993 EVEN ASK OR THINK. THERE'S THINGS LIKE PASTOR BRENDA TAUGHT 01:19:25.993 --> 01:19:31.363 US THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK, YOU THOUGHT IT. HEY, I WOULD LIKE TO 01:19:31.363 --> 01:19:35.262 HAVE THIS OR BOY, I WANT THIS. AND GOD HEARS IT AND IN HIS 01:19:35.262 --> 01:19:38.881 GOODNESS AND IN HIS NATURE, HE BRINGS IT TO PASS. AND THEN 01:19:38.881 --> 01:19:42.162 YOU'RE LIKE, WHOA, HOW DID THAT GET HERE? WOW, THIS IS SUCH A 01:19:42.162 --> 01:19:46.873 BLESSING. BUT IF YOU POSITION YOURSELF IN THE NEGATIVITY, YOU 01:19:46.873 --> 01:19:49.904 WILL MISS OUT ON BLESSINGS. YOU KNOW, I'M LEARNING SOMETHING. 01:19:49.904 --> 01:19:53.564 AND I SAID THIS TO SOMEBODY THE OTHER DAY. I SAID, LET ME TELL 01:19:53.564 --> 01:19:59.472 YOU HOW TO KEEP DOORS OPEN IN YOUR LIFE. THEY SAID, HOW? I 01:19:59.472 --> 01:20:04.182 SAID, WELL, LOOK AT MY LIFE. I AM A VERY BLESSED MAN AND I AM 01:20:04.182 --> 01:20:10.634 NOT ARROGANT. I'M A BLESSED MAN. YOU MEAN PASTOR, YOU GOD, ALL 01:20:10.634 --> 01:20:14.654 THIS, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT STUFF. I'M TALKING ABOUT, I'M A 01:20:14.654 --> 01:20:20.623 BLESSED, I KNOW GOD. GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH AN AMAZING WIFE, 01:20:20.623 --> 01:20:26.623 AMAZING CHILDREN, AMAZING PETS, AMAZING, YOU KNOW, BEAUTIFUL 01:20:26.623 --> 01:20:31.003 PEOPLE TO PASTOR, A MINISTRY THAT REACHES AROUND THE WORLD. 01:20:31.003 --> 01:20:35.444 HE'S GIVEN US A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. HE'S GIVEN ME A NICE 01:20:35.444 --> 01:20:39.644 VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN, AND I'M GRATEFUL, I AM SO THANKFUL, I AM 01:20:39.644 --> 01:20:42.912 BLESSED. AND I SAID, "BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IT WAS "THAT 01:20:42.912 --> 01:20:46.182 BRINGS THE BLESSING." THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD IS A REWARDER TO 01:20:46.182 --> 01:20:50.384 THOSE THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. IF I CAN SAY ANYTHING IN 40 01:20:50.384 --> 01:20:53.984 YEARS, I HAVE HONORED GOD, 'CAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LOVE 01:20:53.984 --> 01:20:58.423 AND HONOR, I'VE LOVED GOD AND HONORED HIM IN MY DILIGENCE. I 01:20:58.423 --> 01:21:03.993 HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL TO SEEK HIM, TO LOVE HIM, AT GOOD TIMES, BAD 01:21:03.993 --> 01:21:08.344 TIMES, CHALLENGING TIMES, TIMES WHEN I WANTED TO QUIT, AND I 01:21:08.344 --> 01:21:13.894 HAVE LOVED HIM AND STAYED IN THERE NO MATTER WHAT. NO MATTER 01:21:13.894 --> 01:21:17.524 WHAT, I'VE HONORED HIM. BUT I SAID, LET ME TEACH YOU A 01:21:17.524 --> 01:21:21.814 PRINCIPLE OF HOW TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN AND HOW TO OPEN 01:21:21.814 --> 01:21:25.444 DOORS. HOW MANY REMEMBER THE STORY IN MATTHEW 25 OF THE FIVE 01:21:25.444 --> 01:21:29.913 WISE VIRGINS AND THE FIVE FOOLISH? THE REASON THE DOOR WAS 01:21:29.913 --> 01:21:35.944 CLOSED WAS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LIKE THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS. 01:21:35.944 --> 01:21:40.323 THEY GET SO CAUGHT UP IN HONORING EVERYTHING ELSE, 01:21:40.323 --> 01:21:45.243 FOCUSING ON EVERYTHING ELSE, RIGHT? BEING BUSY WITH THE CARES 01:21:45.243 --> 01:21:51.573 OF THIS WORLD, DISTRACTIONS, COME ON, THE LOVE OF OUR FLESH, 01:21:51.573 --> 01:21:55.444 THE LUST OF OUR EYES, COME ON, IT MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, THAT 01:21:55.444 --> 01:21:59.524 VACATION HOME OR WHATEVER, WHICH THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. 01:21:59.524 --> 01:22:05.373 BUT IF IT'S ABOVE YOUR LUSTING OF, IN A GOOD WAY, YOUR DESIRE 01:22:05.373 --> 01:22:11.194 TO BE WITH GOD, TO LOVE GOD, TO HONOR GOD, TO SERVE GOD, TO WALK 01:22:11.194 --> 01:22:15.963 IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT. IF THAT 01:22:15.963 --> 01:22:20.644 VACATION HOME EXCEEDS THAT, THEN IT'S AN IDOL AND IT BREAKS THE 01:22:20.644 --> 01:22:27.694 COMMANDMENT OF GOD. YOUR CAR CAN'T BE YOUR PRIZED POSSESSION. 01:22:27.694 --> 01:22:30.423 YOUR GOD HAS TO BE YOUR PRIZED POSSESSION. 01:22:30.423 --> 01:22:34.623 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:22:34.623 --> 01:22:40.384 YOUR HOBBY CANNOT BE YOUR FOCUS, YOUR ATTENTION, YOUR TALK, YOUR 01:22:40.384 --> 01:22:45.298 SPEECH, WHAT YOU PUT ALL YOUR EFFORT INTO, OR IT'S AN IDOL. 01:22:45.298 --> 01:22:49.350 AND THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS, THAT'S ALL THEY DID, IS THEY 01:22:49.350 --> 01:22:55.144 DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THAT SACRED ANOINTING. THE ANOINTING IS THE 01:22:55.144 --> 01:23:00.064 PRESENCE OF GOD. THE ANOINTING IS THE POWER OF GOD. THE 01:23:00.064 --> 01:23:03.963 ANOINTING IS WHAT ENABLES YOU. THAT'S WHY JESUS IN LUKE 4, HE 01:23:03.963 --> 01:23:07.533 WALKED INTO THE TEMPLE AND THE FIRST THING HE DID, HE GOT UP, 01:23:07.533 --> 01:23:11.344 HE OPENED THE BOOK OF ISAIAH AND HE BEGAN TO READ AND HE SAID, 01:23:11.344 --> 01:23:15.993 "LOOK AT ME, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME. "NOW LET ME 01:23:15.993 --> 01:23:19.833 TELL YOU THAT HIS ANOINTING IS UPON ME." COME ON, NOW WATCH, 01:23:19.833 --> 01:23:25.833 THE ANOINTING WORKS FOR YOU. HE SAID, "I'M ANOINTED AND HERE'S 01:23:25.833 --> 01:23:31.984 HOW I'M GONNA WORK FOR YOU. I AM ANOINTED TO OPEN THE SIGHT OF 01:23:31.984 --> 01:23:37.113 THE BLIND. I'M ANOINTED TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED. I'M ANOINTED 01:23:37.113 --> 01:23:42.514 TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE." BECAUSE THE ANOINTING WORKS FOR 01:23:42.514 --> 01:23:47.644 YOU. AND THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS WERE ALL ABOUT WHAT 01:23:47.644 --> 01:23:52.198 PASTOR BRENDA'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN THE SEVEN CHURCHES. 01:23:52.203 --> 01:24:04.384 CULTURE, CAREERS, FLESHLY LUSTS, ENTERTAINMENT, PHILOSOPHY, 01:24:04.384 --> 01:24:13.774 EXERCISE. AND THEY DIDN'T REALIZE, YOU DIDN'T FILL YOUR 01:24:13.774 --> 01:24:19.743 LAMP. AND THE DOOR SHUT. I'M TELLING YOU, THE REASON WHY 01:24:19.743 --> 01:24:24.694 PROPHETS OF GOD, VESSELS WHO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF GOD. I 01:24:24.694 --> 01:24:28.144 REMEMBER WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAID TO ME, HE BROUGHT ME TO 01:24:28.144 --> 01:24:31.623 BLIND BARTIMAEUS AND HE SAID, TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT I SAID TO 01:24:31.623 --> 01:24:35.554 BLIND BARTIMAEUS. THIS WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. WHAT DO YOU 01:24:35.554 --> 01:24:40.623 WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU? AND IN DROVES, PEOPLE WROTE ON SOCIAL 01:24:40.623 --> 01:24:45.814 MEDIA, HOW DARE YOU, PASTOR HANK, DEMAND OR ASK GOD WHAT HE 01:24:45.814 --> 01:24:53.944 WANTS TO DO FOR YOU. IT ISN'T ABOUT US. I THOUGHT, MY GOD, 01:24:53.944 --> 01:24:56.554 PLEASE TELL ME YOU DON'T GO TO MY CHURCH 'CAUSE I DON'T TEACH 01:24:56.554 --> 01:25:06.123 THAT WAY. YOU'RE JACKED UP. EVERYTHING THAT GOD IS AND DOES 01:25:06.123 --> 01:25:10.444 IS ABOUT YOU, OR HE WOULD HAVE NEVER SACRIFICED HIS OWN SON AND 01:25:10.444 --> 01:25:16.354 HIS ROYAL INNOCENT BLOOD. GOD SO LOVED AND HONORED US WHEN WE 01:25:16.354 --> 01:25:25.323 WERE FILTHY, WRETCHED, BLIND, AND NAKED. AND HE GAVE HIS ONLY 01:25:25.323 --> 01:25:28.984 SON AND IT HASN'T STOPPED, AND HE'S THE GOD THAT WILL DO 01:25:28.984 --> 01:25:33.934 EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL WE ASK OR THINK. GOD SAID, 01:25:33.934 --> 01:25:36.363 "TELL THE PEOPLE I WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEM." BUT YOU 01:25:36.363 --> 01:25:40.306 KNOW WHAT PEOPLE DID? THEY WERE LIKE THE FIVE FOOLISH. WELL, I'M 01:25:40.306 --> 01:25:44.344 NOT GONNA INVEST MY FAITH INTO THAT. I'M NOT GONNA FILL MY 01:25:44.344 --> 01:25:47.270 LAMPS. I'M NOT EVEN GONNA PRAY THAT. I'M NOT EVEN GONNA BELIEVE 01:25:47.270 --> 01:25:49.474 IT. I'M JUST GONNA WRITE ON SOCIAL MEDIA 'CAUSE WE'VE 01:25:49.474 --> 01:25:53.224 LEARNED THAT COMMENT SECTIONS, YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANNA 01:25:53.224 --> 01:25:59.734 SAY. GOTTA HAVE AN OPINION. AND IF YOU GO BACK AND INTERVIEW 01:25:59.734 --> 01:26:03.829 THOSE PEOPLE, THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T GET ANYTHING THAT YEAR. 01:26:03.829 --> 01:26:09.844 THE DOOR WAS CLOSED, BUT WHY DID THE FIVE WISE GET AN ANSWER TO 01:26:09.844 --> 01:26:17.373 THEIR DESIRE? WHY WAS THE DOOR OPEN FOR THEM, REMAINED OPEN FOR 01:26:17.373 --> 01:26:25.384 THEM? BECAUSE THEY INVESTED IN THE ANOINTING. THEY INVESTED IN 01:26:25.384 --> 01:26:29.404 SPIRITUAL THINGS. JESUS TAUGHT US THAT IN MATTHEW 6:33. HE 01:26:29.404 --> 01:26:34.024 SAID, "SEEK FIRST, HONOR FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD." NOT THE 01:26:34.024 --> 01:26:38.073 KINGDOM OF THE NFL. NOT THE KINGDOM OF HOME, OH, WAIT A 01:26:38.073 --> 01:26:42.304 MINUTE, I'M COMING AFTER YOURS. THE KINGDOM OF HOME AND GARDEN. 01:26:42.304 --> 01:26:46.354 THE KINGDOM OF YOGA. I'D STAY AWAY FROM THE KINGDOM OF YOGA, 01:26:46.354 --> 01:26:51.423 MAN. THEY LOOK LIKE A LOT OF HINDU WEIRD STUFF. THE KINGDOM 01:26:51.423 --> 01:26:59.463 OF WHAT'S THE NEXT LATEST MOVIE? THE KINGDOM OF SELF. JESUS SAID, 01:26:59.463 --> 01:27:03.844 "SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD." HONOR ME, LOVE ME, LOVE MY 01:27:03.844 --> 01:27:10.144 KINGDOM, INVEST IN SPIRITUAL THINGS AS THE TOP PRIORITY, AND 01:27:10.144 --> 01:27:16.235 THEN PUT IT UP, ALL OTHER THINGS. EPHESIANS 3:20, 01:27:16.235 --> 01:27:21.663 "EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL YOU ASK OR THINK WILL BE 01:27:21.663 --> 01:27:26.314 GIVEN TO YOU." THE REASON THAT DOOR WAS OPEN AND NOT SHUT IS 01:27:26.314 --> 01:27:29.073 BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING IN MY LIFE OF HONOR AND LOVE TO 01:27:29.073 --> 01:27:34.206 GOD. GOD IS A REWARDER TO THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. 01:27:35.854 --> 01:27:41.283 DILIGENCE AND HONOR HAVE TO GO TOGETHER. YOU CAN'T JUST SAY OUT 01:27:41.283 --> 01:27:45.543 OF YOUR MOUTH. JESUS SAID IT IN MATTHEW. LOOK AT WHAT HE SAID 01:27:45.543 --> 01:27:50.493 ABOUT THOSE WHO THINK THEY HONOR. HE SAID IN MATTHEW 15:8, 01:27:50.493 --> 01:27:54.814 HE SAID, "DON'T GIVE ME LIP SERVICE. "DON'T SAY THAT I'M 01:27:54.814 --> 01:27:59.854 YOUR LORD, "BECAUSE PEOPLE DRAW NIGH WITH THEIR MOUTH. "I'M A 01:27:59.854 --> 01:28:04.623 CHRISTIAN." IF YOU ASK PEOPLE, CHRISTIAN AMERICA, CAN I TELL 01:28:04.623 --> 01:28:09.033 YOU WHAT I'M TIRED OF AND I'M GONNA SAY IT. I LOOK AT THE 01:28:09.033 --> 01:28:12.724 LANDSCAPE SOMETIMES OF CHRISTIANS. I LOOK AT THOSE THAT 01:28:12.724 --> 01:28:16.234 ARE IN THE SPORTS WORLD. I LOOK AT THOSE THAT ARE PART OF THE 01:28:16.234 --> 01:28:21.064 MAGA FAITHFUL. I LOOK AT PART OF THOSE THAT ARE THE TURNING POINT 01:28:21.064 --> 01:28:26.463 REVIVALISTS. I LOOK AT EVANGELICALS AND PRACTICING 01:28:26.463 --> 01:28:34.054 CATHOLICS. I LOOK AT THE STATE OF MANY IN THE CHURCH, AND THERE 01:28:34.054 --> 01:28:40.984 IS WAY TOO MUCH OF HONORING GOD WITH LIP SERVICE. BUT YOU GO 01:28:40.984 --> 01:28:46.444 DOWN TO SOME OF THESE GATHERINGS OF CHRISTIANS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE 01:28:46.444 --> 01:28:52.323 SOME SECULAR PARTY. WOMEN DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRESS, BUT IT'S A 01:28:52.323 --> 01:29:02.524 COCKTAIL PARTY. AND YOU LOOK LIKE AN ESCORT. AND DUDE, YOU 01:29:02.524 --> 01:29:10.516 LOOK LIKE A GIGOLO. I'M TIRED OF, WELL, I JUST WANT TO GIVE 01:29:10.516 --> 01:29:16.113 ALL, YOU KNOW, THANKS TO THE GUY UPSTAIRS AFTER I, YOU KNOW, HAD 01:29:16.113 --> 01:29:19.693 TWO TOUCHDOWNS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AFTER ALL, YOU KNOW, I 01:29:19.693 --> 01:29:23.373 KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE A BREAKOUT DAY. OH, YAY YOU. AND 01:29:23.373 --> 01:29:30.873 IT AIN'T THE GUY UPSTAIRS. HE'S CHRIST WITHIN ME, THE HOPE OF 01:29:30.873 --> 01:29:39.514 GLORY. CAN YOU SAY HIS NAME? CAN YOU SAY JESUS? I GET TIRED OF 01:29:39.514 --> 01:29:44.163 PEOPLE, WELL, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANNA GIVE HONOR TO GOD. WELL, 01:29:44.163 --> 01:29:51.891 WHO'S YOUR GOD? OKAY, WE GOT PEOPLE MARCHING IN DEARBORN. 01:29:51.891 --> 01:29:54.753 DEARBORN, WHERE IS THAT, MICHIGAN. OKAY, IN THE NAME OF 01:29:54.753 --> 01:30:01.413 IRAN AND ISLAM. THEY THINK ALLAH IS GOD. I BELIEVE ALLAH IS THE 01:30:01.413 --> 01:30:13.113 PRINCE OF PERSIA. WHERE IS YOUR GOD? MEN HONOR ME WITH THEIR 01:30:13.113 --> 01:30:17.944 LIPS. OH, I'M A CHRISTIAN. BUT YOU CAN OUT-CUSS EVERYBODY AT 01:30:17.944 --> 01:30:23.344 YOUR JOB. YOU LAUGH AT THE SAME DIRTY JOKES. WELL, I JUST DON'T 01:30:23.344 --> 01:30:29.014 KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IT PUTS ME IN AN AWKWARD POSITION. HOW 01:30:29.014 --> 01:30:34.434 DO YOU THINK THE HOLY SPIRIT FEELS? WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL 01:30:34.434 --> 01:30:38.043 'EM? MAN, I USED TO HAVE, WHEN I WORKED AT THE SERVICE STATION, 01:30:38.043 --> 01:30:42.814 MAN, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, AS A CHRISTIAN, MAN, YOU TALK ABOUT, 01:30:42.814 --> 01:30:47.613 THEY MAKE UP CUSS WORDS IN SERVICE STATIONS. AND THEY TELL 01:30:47.613 --> 01:30:49.654 DIRTY JOKES, AND I WOULD SIT THERE AND SAY, I'M NOT LISTENING 01:30:49.654 --> 01:30:52.293 TO 'EM. AND I'D TELL 'EM, I'D SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'D 01:30:52.293 --> 01:30:55.264 APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULDN'T SHARE THAT IN MY PRESENCE. WHY, 'CAUSE 01:30:55.264 --> 01:31:02.043 SOMETHING INSIDE ME DOESN'T LIKE IT. WHAT INSIDE YOU? YESHUA, 01:31:02.043 --> 01:31:07.579 JESUS DOESN'T LIKE IT. AND THEY WOULD SIT THERE AND LAUGH AT ME, 01:31:07.579 --> 01:31:12.590 MOCK ME, AND I'D TELL 'EM, I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT. AND THEY'D 01:31:12.590 --> 01:31:15.619 SAY IT IN MY PRESENCE, AND THEN I'D SIT THERE AND I'D SAY, ALL 01:31:15.619 --> 01:31:18.264 RIGHT, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? I LOVE YOU, JESUS. I HONOR YOU. 01:31:18.264 --> 01:31:21.170 I'D LIFT UP MY HANDS, I WOULD PRAY IN TONGUES, AND THEY WOULD 01:31:21.170 --> 01:31:24.380 SAY, "WE DON'T..." THEY WENT TO THE BOSS, "HEY, HEY, THAT GUY'S 01:31:24.380 --> 01:31:28.100 SPEAKING IN STRANGE LANGUAGE. HE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT JESUS." AND 01:31:28.100 --> 01:31:29.988 THE BOSS CAME AND SAID, "HANK, YOU GOTTA TONE IT DOWN." I SAID, 01:31:29.988 --> 01:31:37.970 "NO. IF THEY'RE GONNA TALK TRASH, TALK ABOUT WOMEN AND ALL 01:31:37.970 --> 01:31:42.829 THE SEXUAL STUFF IN MY PRESENCE WHEN I TOLD THEM NOT TO, THEY 01:31:42.829 --> 01:31:47.779 ARE GONNA HEAR WHAT I LOVE AND WHAT I WORSHIP. AND UNTIL YOU 01:31:47.779 --> 01:31:53.305 CORRECT THEM AND TELL THEM NO, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIRE ME. HE 01:31:53.305 --> 01:31:55.039 SAID, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE BETTER THAN 01:31:55.039 --> 01:31:59.630 THEY ARE. I SAID, WELL, THEN GO CORRECT THEM. BUT HE DIDN'T DO 01:31:59.630 --> 01:32:06.500 IT. BUT I REMEMBER ONE DAY, I HEAR, "OW!" AND ONE OF THE MAIN 01:32:06.500 --> 01:32:10.250 MECHANICS, THE MANAGER, HAD SLIPPED ON GREASE WORKING ON A 01:32:10.250 --> 01:32:15.409 CAR. AND HE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS GREASE LIGHTNING. YOU SEE THAT 01:32:15.409 --> 01:32:20.779 SANTA CLAUS COMMERCIAL? GO GREASE LIGHTNING. YOU KNOW JOHN 01:32:20.779 --> 01:32:23.869 TRAVOLTA? I DON'T REMEMBER JOHN. ANYWAY, AND HE SLIPPED AND HIS 01:32:23.869 --> 01:32:29.869 KNEE WAS JUST, I MEAN HIS LEG WAS JUST DANGLING. AND HE FALLS 01:32:29.869 --> 01:32:38.420 TO THE GROUND AND HE YELLS, "HANK!" I'M LIKE, "WHAT? "YOU 01:32:38.420 --> 01:32:44.810 WANT ME TO CALL THE POLICE?" "NO, DO THAT THING!" WHAT THING? 01:32:44.810 --> 01:32:51.500 YOU KNOW, TALK TO THAT GOD. I SAID, OKAY. AND I PRAYED IN 01:32:51.500 --> 01:32:59.989 TONGUES IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I COMMAND YOUR NEED TO ALIGN. I AM 01:32:59.989 --> 01:33:05.180 TELLING YOU, GOD IS MY WITNESS. HE SAID, HE LITERALLY SAID, OH 01:33:05.180 --> 01:33:08.869 MY GOODNESS, I FELT A JOLT OF ELECTRICITY. I SAID, WELL, STAND 01:33:08.869 --> 01:33:13.609 UP. GOD RIGHT THERE, HEALED THAT PERVERTED... 01:33:13.609 --> 01:33:16.369 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:33:16.369 --> 01:33:23.436 MEN HONOR ME WITH THEIR LIPS. LIP SERVICE, I'M A CHRISTIAN. 01:33:23.449 --> 01:33:29.779 BUT WHERE'S YOUR LEVEL OF HONOR? DO YOU REALLY HONOR GOD? DO YOU 01:33:29.779 --> 01:33:32.869 HONOR OTHERS? LOOK AT THE CROSS FOR A MOMENT. LET'S READ MATTHEW 01:33:32.869 --> 01:33:36.109 CHAPTER 22. BUT THE HEART IS FAR AWAY, THAT'S WHAT MATTHEW 15 01:33:36.109 --> 01:33:40.279 SAYS. IT'S ABOUT THE HEART, YOU CAN SAY ALL DAY LONG, I LOVE 01:33:40.279 --> 01:33:47.055 GOD, I SERVE GOD. YEAH, BUT WHAT IS YOUR HEART ACTIONS? WHAT IS 01:33:47.055 --> 01:33:52.489 YOUR HEART CHOICES, YOUR HEART LIFESTYLE? WHAT IS IT THAT IS 01:33:52.489 --> 01:33:59.390 THE PASSION OF YOUR HEART? IS IT GOD? LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 22, 01:33:59.390 --> 01:34:04.520 LET'S GO HERE. MATTHEW 22, I LIKE VERSE 35, I THINK WE NEED 01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:08.119 TO GO TO MATTHEW 22:35. I KEEP QUOTING IT, BUT LET'S READ IT. 01:34:08.119 --> 01:34:13.319 SO THEN ONE OF THEM, WHICH WAS A LAWYER, ASKED HIM A QUESTION, 01:34:13.319 --> 01:34:20.390 TEMPTING HIM SAYING, "MASTER, WHAT IS THE GREAT COMMANDMENT IN 01:34:20.390 --> 01:34:26.659 THE LAW?" AND JESUS DIDN'T EVEN MISS A BEAT. HE SAID, "THOU 01:34:26.659 --> 01:34:33.979 SHALL HONOR/LOVE YOUR GOD "WITH ALL YOUR HEART." NOTICE HE'S 01:34:33.979 --> 01:34:37.189 TELLING YOU, "I DON'T WANT LIP SERVICE. "I DON'T WANT A ONE 01:34:37.189 --> 01:34:41.029 NIGHT STAND. "I DON'T WANT WHERE YOU SAY, JESUS, COME INTO MY 01:34:41.029 --> 01:34:44.180 HEART, "AND THEN WE NEVER SPEND TIME TOGETHER. "I NEVER HAVE A 01:34:44.180 --> 01:34:47.510 SAY IN YOUR LIFE. "I DON'T LIKE WHERE YOU'RE SLEEPING, "WHAT 01:34:47.510 --> 01:34:50.270 YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH. "I DON'T LIKE WHO YOU'RE SPENDING TIME 01:34:50.270 --> 01:34:56.210 WITH. "I HAVE NO SAY." JESUS WANTS OUR HEART. YOU KNOW WHAT 01:34:56.210 --> 01:35:01.460 YOUR HEART IS? THAT'S YOU. YOUR FEELINGS, YOUR DECISIONS, YOUR 01:35:01.460 --> 01:35:07.100 PASSIONS, YOUR PERSONALITIES, YOUR LIKES, YOUR DISLIKES. THERE 01:35:07.100 --> 01:35:11.600 NEEDS TO BE THAT MUTUAL RESPECT WITH YOU AND GOD OF YOUR HEART. 01:35:11.600 --> 01:35:14.960 IT'S SO IMPORTANT. NOW WATCH. WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL 01:35:14.960 --> 01:35:19.850 YOUR SOUL, GOTTA GET YOUR MIND, YOUR WILL ALIGNED. AND WITH ALL 01:35:19.850 --> 01:35:22.729 YOUR MIND AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. AND THEN HE SAID, THIS 01:35:22.729 --> 01:35:27.739 IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT. NOW, KEEP READING. HE TELLS YOU THE 01:35:27.739 --> 01:35:33.140 SECOND COMMANDMENT. THE SECOND IN VERSE 38, THIS IS THE FIRST 01:35:33.140 --> 01:35:35.600 AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THEN THE SECOND IS LIKENED TO IT. YOU 01:35:35.600 --> 01:35:39.658 SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. AND THEN HE GOES ON IN 01:35:39.658 --> 01:35:44.300 VERSE 40 AND HE SAYS, THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ON ALL THE LAW 01:35:44.300 --> 01:35:48.380 AND THE PROPHETS. NOW, REMEMBER THE LAW WAS HOW YOU WOULD TREAT 01:35:48.380 --> 01:35:50.840 ONE ANOTHER. AND THERE WAS THINGS IN THE LAW THAT HAD TO DO 01:35:50.840 --> 01:35:54.079 WITH HOW YOU TREATED GOD. BUT WHEN THE PROPHETS CAME, THEY 01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:57.590 WERE BRINGING MESSAGES FROM GOD. SO YOU COULD SAY IT THIS WAY, 01:35:57.590 --> 01:36:00.079 AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THAT WHEN JESUS DIED 01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:07.340 ON THE CROSS AND THERE WAS THE VERTICAL PIECE OF THAT WOODEN 01:36:07.340 --> 01:36:14.608 CROSS, IS THAT REPRESENTS OUR CONSTANT HONOR AND LOVE TO GOD. 01:36:14.608 --> 01:36:19.880 THAT GOD, I WILL SACRIFICE JUST LIKE YESHUA DID, EVERYTHING. AND 01:36:19.880 --> 01:36:24.079 I WILL HONOR YOU, AND I WILL LOVE YOU, AND I WILL SERVE YOU, 01:36:24.079 --> 01:36:26.840 AND I WILL DO WHAT YOU SAY. I MAY NOT LIKE IT, I MAY HAVE AN 01:36:26.840 --> 01:36:30.260 ATTITUDE FOR A MOMENT, BUT ULTIMATELY I WILL SURRENDER TO 01:36:30.260 --> 01:36:33.949 YOU. THAT VERTICAL RELATION, THAT CONSTANT COMMUNICATION, 01:36:33.949 --> 01:36:37.039 WHERE GOD, I TALK TO YOU EVERY DAY. I TALK TO YOU AS MUCH AS I 01:36:37.039 --> 01:36:40.609 CAN EVERY DAY. I DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOU, I DON'T PUSH YOU TO 01:36:40.609 --> 01:36:43.939 THE SIDE, I DON'T DISRESPECT YOUR FEELINGS, I DON'T 01:36:43.939 --> 01:36:47.960 DISRESPECT YOUR HEART, I'M AWARE OF YOUR PRESENCE, I ACTUALLY 01:36:47.960 --> 01:36:50.600 WELCOME YOU INTO MY CONVERSATIONS, I WELCOME YOU 01:36:50.600 --> 01:36:54.619 INTO MY ATTITUDES, I WELCOME YOU INTO MY ACTIONS AND WHAT I'M 01:36:54.619 --> 01:36:59.840 DOING. YOU KNOW, I'VE DONE THAT WITH THE LORD, WITH MY TRAIN 01:36:59.840 --> 01:37:04.909 LAYOUT. AND I HAVE BEEN DOWN WORKING ON MY TRAIN LAYOUT, AND 01:37:04.909 --> 01:37:07.279 THERE'S THINGS THAT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT. OKAY, LORD, HOW DO I 01:37:07.279 --> 01:37:10.970 DESIGN THIS? AND I INVITE HIM, I JUST WANNA SPEND TIME WITH YOU, 01:37:10.970 --> 01:37:15.529 GOD. SOMETIMES I GET UP FROM MY DESK AND I WOULD WORSHIP GOD IN 01:37:15.529 --> 01:37:17.960 FRONT OF MY LITTLE RED CHAIR, AND I WOULD WORSHIP HIM AND 01:37:17.960 --> 01:37:20.479 HONOR HIM. AND I SAID, "LORD, I'M DOWN HERE WITH MY HOBBY, 01:37:20.479 --> 01:37:23.869 "BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW "THAT I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I DO 01:37:23.869 --> 01:37:28.699 MY TRAINS, "AND I HONOR YOU." AND I'VE HAD JESUS WALK IN 01:37:28.699 --> 01:37:35.119 BEHIND ME, AUGUST OF 2020, TOLD ME THAT PRESERVATION WAS ON 01:37:35.119 --> 01:37:38.689 PRESIDENT TRUMP, UPON THE NATION, YOU ALL HEARD IT. TOLD 01:37:38.689 --> 01:37:41.989 ME, HE TOLD ME THAT THE ELECTION, THAT THEY WOULD SEEK 01:37:41.989 --> 01:37:46.550 TO STEAL IT THROUGH A PLANNED CHAOTIC THING. I WAS WORSHIPING 01:37:46.550 --> 01:37:49.970 RIGHT BEFORE A RESURRECTION SERVICE IN MY RED CHAIR 'CAUSE I 01:37:49.970 --> 01:37:52.760 INCLUDED GOD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M WORSHIPING AND I'M 01:37:52.760 --> 01:37:55.880 WORSHIPING AND I'M WORSHIPING. I HAD MY EYES CLOSED AND I OPENED 01:37:55.880 --> 01:38:02.149 IT UP AND TWO BEAUTIFUL FEET APPEARED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AS 01:38:02.149 --> 01:38:11.090 I WAS KNEELING. I TELL YOU, I TRIED TO LOWER MYSELF AS MUCH AS 01:38:11.090 --> 01:38:17.898 I COULD. I'M LIKE, I HAVE TO BE LOWER THAN THOSE FEET. I LOVE 01:38:17.898 --> 01:38:23.029 THAT GOD WHOM I SERVE. JESUS AND I HAVE SPENT BEAUTIFUL TIMES 01:38:23.029 --> 01:38:29.869 TOGETHER 'CAUSE I INVITE HIM IN MY WORLD. HE INTERRUPTS ME, HE 01:38:29.869 --> 01:38:36.350 TALKS TO ME. I WAS IN AN ANTIQUE STORE BACK IN OCTOBER AND I HAD 01:38:36.350 --> 01:38:39.590 BEEN PRAYING. I SAID TO THE LORD, I SAID, "GOD, I WANT ONE 01:38:39.590 --> 01:38:43.369 OF THOSE RED PUMPS." WHAT ARE THEY CALLED, THOSE THINGS? THOSE 01:38:43.369 --> 01:38:47.300 WATER PUMPS. AND I SAID, "LORD, I DON'T WANT MINE TO BE NEWLY 01:38:47.300 --> 01:38:51.380 PAINTED. "I WANT SOME OF THE ORIGINAL RED PAINT ON IT. "I 01:38:51.380 --> 01:38:54.050 WANT ONE OF THOSE BIG HANDLES. "I WANT IT TO BE ABOUT THIS BIG. 01:38:54.050 --> 01:38:58.159 "LORD, I'D REALLY, REALLY LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING "THAT YOU JUST 01:38:58.159 --> 01:39:02.180 WOW ME WITH." I SAID, "I CAN JUST IMAGINE JUST A LITTLE PUMP, 01:39:02.180 --> 01:39:04.430 YOU KNOW, "AND A LITTLE BUCKET OR SOMETHING." I SAID, "LORD, 01:39:04.430 --> 01:39:06.859 THAT WOULD JUST BE AMAZING. "I WANT ONE OF THOSE." 'CAUSE I 01:39:06.859 --> 01:39:09.319 KNEW I WAS GOING TO THE HARDWARE STORE. WE PULL UP AT THE 01:39:09.319 --> 01:39:12.829 HARDWARE STORE, OR NOT THE HARDWARE STORE, THE ANTIQUE 01:39:12.829 --> 01:39:16.838 STORE IN WALNUT, IOWA. AND I GO IN, I SAID, "DO YOU HAVE ANY OF 01:39:16.838 --> 01:39:19.159 THOSE WATER PUMPS?" THEY SAID, "OH, NO, THEY'RE EXTREMELY HARD 01:39:19.159 --> 01:39:23.840 TO FIND." I SAID, "OH, OKAY." SO THEN I'M WALKING DOWN THE 01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:26.750 SIDEWALK AND I HEARD THE LORD SAY, HE SAID, "I WANNA BLESS 01:39:26.750 --> 01:39:30.979 YOU." I SAID, "WELL, I ALWAYS APPRECIATE THAT. "CAN I GIVE YOU 01:39:30.979 --> 01:39:37.880 MY LIST?" HE SAID, "GO INTO THAT STORE OVER THERE." AND SO I WENT 01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:40.369 BACK IN, I SAID, "BRENDA, I'M GONNA HEAD OVER TO THIS STORE 01:39:40.369 --> 01:39:42.829 "OVER HERE ON THE CORNER." SHE GOES, "OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU THERE. 01:39:42.829 --> 01:39:47.000 "I'LL BE DOWN IN JUST A MINUTE." I WALK UP TO THE STORE AND RIGHT 01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:53.630 IN THE FRONT OF THE STORE IS THIS RED WATER PUMP WITH AN OLD 01:39:53.630 --> 01:39:59.029 BUCKET. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? AN OLD PAIL. LIKE A METAL PAIL. I 01:39:59.029 --> 01:40:03.920 SAID, "MY LORD GOD, THIS IS IT. "THIS IS EXACTLY THE LOOK AND 01:40:03.920 --> 01:40:06.619 WHAT I WANT." SO I WENT INSIDE AND I SAID TO THE DUDE, I SAID, 01:40:06.619 --> 01:40:10.100 "HEY, THAT RED WATER PUMP OUT THERE." HE GOES, "YEAH." HE 01:40:10.100 --> 01:40:14.420 GOES, "YOU LIKE IT?" AND HE GOES, "WE JUST GOT IT IN." I 01:40:14.420 --> 01:40:16.159 SAID, "YOU KIDDING?" HE GOES, "OH YEAH, THEY'RE EXTREMELY HARD 01:40:16.159 --> 01:40:18.439 TO FIND. "YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GONNA FIND ANY AROUND HERE." I 01:40:18.439 --> 01:40:22.189 SAID, "WHEN DID YOU GET IT?" HE SAID, "WELL, WE WEREN'T OPEN, 01:40:22.189 --> 01:40:25.010 "BUT WE JUST DROPPED IT OFF YESTERDAY "AND WE JUST LAID IT 01:40:25.010 --> 01:40:27.319 OUT HERE. "DO YOU WANT IT?" I SAID, "ABSOLUTELY, LOAD THAT 01:40:27.319 --> 01:40:34.310 HEAVENLY GIFT UP." NO, THAT MAY NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU, BUT 01:40:34.310 --> 01:40:37.699 YOU KNOW WHAT IT DID FOR ME? IT'S HONOR THE LORD GOD. HE 01:40:37.699 --> 01:40:41.390 REWARDS THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. DILIGENTLY SEEKING IS 01:40:41.390 --> 01:40:44.960 PART OF THE HONOR THAT YOU GIVE HIM IN YOUR HEART WHERE YOU'RE 01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:48.890 DISCIPLINED, YOU'RE DETERMINED. LISTEN, WE ARE JUST A FEW DAYS 01:40:48.890 --> 01:40:55.520 AWAY OF A NEW YEAR WHERE PEOPLE START SETTING RESOLUTIONS. WHERE 01:40:55.520 --> 01:40:58.250 YOU START SAYING, OKAY, I NEED TO DO THIS MORE, I NEED TO PRAY 01:40:58.250 --> 01:41:02.270 MORE. WELL, START WITH GOD. START WITH GOD. THAT'S WHY THE 01:41:02.270 --> 01:41:07.310 FIRST FOUR WORDS OF THE BIBLE IS IN THE BEGINNING, GOD. IF YOU 01:41:07.310 --> 01:41:11.630 WANT THAT DOOR TO STAY OPEN OR SOMETHING TO OPEN OF BLESSING, 01:41:11.630 --> 01:41:17.939 WORK THE SPIRIT OF GOD REALM, WORK THE KINGDOM. PUT GOD FIRST, 01:41:17.939 --> 01:41:21.510 HONOR THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH, 01:41:21.510 --> 01:41:24.869 AND THE DOOR WILL OPEN. COME ON, THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT 01:41:24.869 --> 01:41:27.238 MAYBE YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU'RE LIKE 01:41:27.238 --> 01:41:30.180 FRUSTRATED. AND YOU'RE LIKE, GOD, WHEN AM I GONNA GET THIS? 01:41:30.180 --> 01:41:37.170 JUST ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION, AM I PRESSING IN? NOW, DON'T 01:41:37.170 --> 01:41:43.140 JUST GIVE A WEAK ANSWER. AM I TRULY PRIORITIZING WITH PASSION, 01:41:43.140 --> 01:41:49.590 DETERMINATION, DILIGENCE, CONSISTENCY, THE KINGDOM OF GOD, 01:41:49.590 --> 01:41:54.569 BUT MOST IMPORTANT, GOD? IF YOU ARE, YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK 01:41:54.569 --> 01:41:58.289 OF THE BRIDEGROOM TO COME AND TO SAY, "COME WITH ME NOW. "THE 01:41:58.289 --> 01:42:03.479 DOOR IS OPEN AND I'M GONNA CLOSE IT "WHERE THE ENEMY CANNOT TAKE 01:42:03.479 --> 01:42:06.270 FROM YOU." YOU'RE COMING INTO THE FULFILLMENT, TO THE 01:42:06.270 --> 01:42:09.810 BLESSING. THIS IS WHAT HONOR DOES. NOW I WANT YOU TO GO OVER 01:42:09.810 --> 01:42:14.939 TO PROVERBS CHAPTER 3. I WANNA SHOW YOU THE POWER OF HONOR. YOU 01:42:14.939 --> 01:42:18.810 SAY, "WELL, YEAH, BUT REALLY, YOU KNOW, "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES 01:42:18.810 --> 01:42:21.060 IT MAKE?" I'M GONNA SHOW YOU, LOOK AT PROVERBS CHAPTER 3. 01:42:21.060 --> 01:42:24.779 LET'S LOOK AT VERSES 1 THROUGH 11. AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT IT 01:42:24.779 --> 01:42:31.469 IN THE CONTEXT OF HONOR, AND IT SHOWS YOU. HONOR IS OF THE 01:42:31.469 --> 01:42:34.890 HEART. JESUS SAID, "DON'T JUST GIVE ME LIP SERVICE. "DO IT FROM 01:42:34.890 --> 01:42:40.260 YOUR HEART." HONOR IS A CODE OF CONDUCT, WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, "NO 01:42:40.260 --> 01:42:45.238 MATTER WHAT, "I AM GONNA DO WHAT'S RIGHT. "NO MATTER WHAT, I 01:42:45.238 --> 01:42:50.609 AM GONNA HOLD MY POSITION OF INTEGRITY. "NO MATTER WHAT, I 01:42:50.609 --> 01:42:54.539 WILL NOT GRIEVE THE LORD." LIKE JOSEPH, YOU KNOW WHY JOSEPH 01:42:54.539 --> 01:42:59.850 ULTIMATELY GOT TO BE SECOND IN COMMAND? IT'S BECAUSE OF A 01:42:59.850 --> 01:43:04.109 DECISION OF HONOR. WHEN NOBODY WAS AROUND AND POTIPHAR SHOWED 01:43:04.109 --> 01:43:08.670 UP, NOT POTIPHAR, POTIPHAR'S WIFE SHOWED UP IN HER OUTFIT AND 01:43:08.670 --> 01:43:13.590 WHATEVER ELSE SHE MAY OR MAY NOT BEEN WEARING. AND SHE REALLY 01:43:13.590 --> 01:43:18.386 WANTED TO HAVE AN ENCOUNTER PHYSICALLY WITH JOSEPH. AND 01:43:18.386 --> 01:43:21.390 JOSEPH SAID SOMETHING THAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST 01:43:21.390 --> 01:43:24.659 WORDS THAT YOU NEED TO GET IN YOUR HEART IF YOU WANT TO BE A 01:43:24.659 --> 01:43:28.469 PERSON THAT HONORS AND LOVES THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR 01:43:28.469 --> 01:43:32.712 HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH. SHE SAID, "COME LIE WITH ME." HE 01:43:32.712 --> 01:43:37.260 SAID, "NO." FIRST OF ALL, YOU GOTTA LEARN TO SAY NO. LET YOUR 01:43:37.260 --> 01:43:46.890 NO BE NO AND YOUR YES BE YES. HE SAID, "I WILL NOT SIN AGAINST 01:43:46.890 --> 01:43:52.800 THE LORD MY GOD." IF YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF STANDARD OF HONOR 01:43:52.800 --> 01:43:56.310 IN YOUR LIFE, WAIT A MINUTE, BEFORE I DO THIS, BEFORE I GET 01:43:56.310 --> 01:44:01.920 MAD AT THIS PERSON IN MY TEXT MESSAGE, I'M ABOUT TO SIN, MY 01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:05.550 VOICE MESSAGE I'M ABOUT TO LEAVE, MY NASTY EMAIL I'M ABOUT 01:44:05.550 --> 01:44:11.460 TO SEND, MY SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENT. BEFORE I DECIDE TO HUFF 01:44:11.460 --> 01:44:19.619 AND PUFF AND GET MY WAY AND CREATE MARITAL STRIFE, HOW DOES 01:44:19.619 --> 01:44:30.390 THIS AFFECT GOD? I WILL NOT, WHAT? SIN, HURT, MISS THE MARK, 01:44:30.390 --> 01:44:39.960 OR GRIEVE GOD. I WON'T DO IT. I WAS DEALING WITH A BUSINESS 01:44:39.960 --> 01:44:45.329 SITUATION THE OTHER DAY. PASTOR DOUG, YOU WERE THERE, AND THEY 01:44:45.329 --> 01:44:50.905 WERE TRYING TO BE VERY, LET'S JUST SAY, I'LL JUST SAY, THERE 01:44:50.905 --> 01:44:54.988 WERE SOME THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE. AND I SAID, YOU LISTEN TO ME 01:44:54.988 --> 01:44:59.880 VERY CAREFULLY. AND I SAID IT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY THERE. I 01:44:59.880 --> 01:45:06.719 SAID, YOU LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY. I FEAR GOD, AND I 01:45:06.719 --> 01:45:16.920 SERVE HIM IN HONOR. I WILL NOT DO WHAT GOD DOES NOT WANT. YOU 01:45:16.920 --> 01:45:24.930 CAN'T BUY ME AND YOU CAN'T BUDGE ME. EITHER YOU'RE GONNA AGREE 01:45:24.930 --> 01:45:29.819 AND WE'RE GONNA MEET AND WE'RE GONNA GET THIS THING RIGHT OR 01:45:29.819 --> 01:45:37.469 POUND SAND. WAS THAT NOT THE MESSAGE? BASICALLY, I'M BEING 01:45:37.469 --> 01:45:46.710 VERY CAREFUL. ARE YOU HERE? GOD AND HIS HONOR IS EXTREMELY 01:45:46.710 --> 01:45:51.539 IMPORTANT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO HOW HE MANIFESTS IN YOUR LIFE, BUT 01:45:51.539 --> 01:45:54.420 IT'S IMPORTANT OF HOW HE BLESSES. THAT'S THAT VERTICAL 01:45:54.420 --> 01:45:58.800 SIDE OF THE CROSS. THE OTHER HORIZONTAL PIECE IS HOW YOU 01:45:58.800 --> 01:46:02.939 TREAT OTHER PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST WANTING TO BE FAIR. I 01:46:02.939 --> 01:46:11.670 STILL WANNA BE FAIR. I WAS BRINGING MY HONOR BECAUSE I LIVE 01:46:11.670 --> 01:46:14.789 BY THE CROSS. THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, LISTEN, IF YOU WANNA BE MY 01:46:14.789 --> 01:46:20.789 DISCIPLE, YOU REALLY WANNA BE MY CHRISTIAN COMPANION AND SERVE ME 01:46:20.789 --> 01:46:24.449 WITH YOUR HEART, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE UP THAT CROSS. YOU 01:46:24.449 --> 01:46:28.079 HAVE TO DO IT DAILY. AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DENY YOURSELF OR 01:46:28.079 --> 01:46:33.390 YOU CAN NEVER, NEVER HONOR THE LOVE AND THE HONOR OF THE 01:46:33.390 --> 01:46:37.949 VERTICAL PIECE OF THAT BEFORE GOD. IF IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU AND 01:46:37.949 --> 01:46:41.735 YOUR NEEDS, YOU NEVER CAN PRAY A PRAYER, "MY KINGDOM COME, THY 01:46:41.735 --> 01:46:45.689 WILL BE DONE." YOU NEVER WILL BE, WELL, IT'D BE HARD FOR YOU 01:46:45.689 --> 01:46:50.760 TO PRAY PRAYERS OF SURRENDER AND SUBMISSION. EVERY DAY YOU GOTTA 01:46:50.760 --> 01:46:53.819 TAKE UP YOUR CROSS, THAT VERTICAL PIECE. GOD, I'M HERE TO 01:46:53.819 --> 01:46:58.738 HONOR YOU, I'M HERE TO SERVE YOU. I'M HERE TO DO WHAT YOU 01:46:58.738 --> 01:47:06.760 SAY. SECOND, HOW DO I TREAT PEOPLE? HOW DO I HONOR MY BOSS? 01:47:06.760 --> 01:47:10.738 IF I'M A BOSS, HOW DO I HONOR PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR ME? I MEAN, 01:47:10.738 --> 01:47:12.307 THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR US, WE HAVE ALMOST 01:47:12.307 --> 01:47:13.770 100 EMPLOYEES, THEY'LL TELL YOU THEY GOT THE 01:47:13.770 --> 01:47:17.189 GREATEST BOSS. THEY LOVE PASTOR BRENDA. 01:47:17.189 --> 01:47:18.329 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:47:18.329 --> 01:47:19.939 THEY JUST LOVE HER, THEY JUST LOVE HER. 01:47:19.939 --> 01:47:21.440 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:47:21.440 --> 01:47:22.775 - AMEN. 01:47:22.775 --> 01:47:26.485 - AND THEY LOVE ME TOO. BUT HOW DO YOU TREAT PEOPLE? I MEAN, 01:47:26.488 --> 01:47:30.420 I'VE SEEN MINISTERS AND MINISTERS. BY THE WAY, A COUPLE 01:47:30.420 --> 01:47:33.270 WEEKS AGO, I SAID, YOU KNOW, I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A JOKE, AND I 01:47:33.270 --> 01:47:35.399 SAID TO THE PERSON JUST TRYING TO DO THE GRAPHIC, I SAID, 01:47:35.399 --> 01:47:37.469 "GREAT, YOU RUINED IT." BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I DID? I IMMEDIATELY 01:47:37.469 --> 01:47:41.033 WENT TO OUR MANAGER, RYAN. I SAID, "PLEASE TELL THAT PERSON 01:47:41.033 --> 01:47:45.390 "THAT WAS HANDLING THE GRAPHICS I DIDN'T MEAN THAT." I HONOR 01:47:45.390 --> 01:47:48.899 THEM AND I THANK GOD FOR THEIR HARD WORK. AND EVEN THOUGH THE 01:47:48.899 --> 01:47:52.350 JOKE DIDN'T MAYBE GO RIGHT, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS SAYING. 01:47:52.350 --> 01:47:54.630 THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW I WAS SETTING IT UP AND JUST LET THEM 01:47:54.630 --> 01:47:58.087 KNOW I'M COOL. AND WHEN HE TOLD ME WHO IT WAS, HE SAID, "OH, 01:47:58.087 --> 01:48:03.649 PASTOR," THEY JUST LAUGHED. I SAID, "OKAY, JUST AGAIN, RYAN, 01:48:03.649 --> 01:48:10.619 "AS A LEADER WHO REPRESENTS GOD, "WE DON'T MISTREAT PEOPLE." WE 01:48:10.619 --> 01:48:15.996 HONOR THEM, WE HONOR GOD. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO ON. MY SON, 01:48:15.996 --> 01:48:21.840 FORGET NOT MY WORD. SO THE FIRST PLACE, YOU NEED TO HONOR GOD. 01:48:21.840 --> 01:48:26.069 JESUS HAD A SHOWDOWN WITH THE DEVIL. THE DEVIL COMES TO HIM 01:48:26.069 --> 01:48:31.859 AND SAYS, IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 4, VERSE 1, JESUS WAS DRIVEN BY THE 01:48:31.859 --> 01:48:34.229 SPIRIT OF GOD INTO THE WILDERNESS. THE DEVIL SHOWS UP 01:48:34.229 --> 01:48:38.460 AND JESUS HUNGERED, VERSE 2 OF MATTHEW 4, AFTER MANY DAYS. THE 01:48:38.460 --> 01:48:43.140 DEVIL SHOWS UP, SAYS, "IF YOU BE THE SON OF GOD, "HEY, TURN THESE 01:48:43.140 --> 01:48:46.619 STONES INTO BREAD." STOP RIGHT THERE. THE FIRST THING THE DEVIL 01:48:46.619 --> 01:48:50.789 DOES IS HE CHALLENGES YOUR DILIGENCE. HE CHALLENGES YOUR 01:48:50.789 --> 01:48:54.449 HONOR. WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE JESUS FOLLOWS UP TO HIM AND 01:48:54.449 --> 01:48:59.159 SAYS, "AH, EXCUSE ME, BUT MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, 01:48:59.159 --> 01:49:03.329 "BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD. "AND 01:49:03.329 --> 01:49:08.219 THOU SHALL ONLY HONOR THE LORD, AND ONLY HIM SHALL THY SERVE." 01:49:08.219 --> 01:49:11.579 SO THE DEVIL WAS TRYING TO DO THE SAME DISHONORABLE THING THAT 01:49:11.579 --> 01:49:17.039 HE DID NOT ONLY IN HEAVEN, BUT ALSO WHAT HE DID IN THE GARDEN. 01:49:17.039 --> 01:49:24.149 CHANGE YOUR SPIRITUAL APPETITE. 'CAUSE JESUS WAS HUNGERING FOR 01:49:24.149 --> 01:49:28.079 GOD. AND THE DEVIL COMES AND TRIES TO PRESENT SOME KIND OF 01:49:28.079 --> 01:49:31.469 ROCK. OH, LET ME PRESENT SOMETHING ELSE THAT'LL GET YOUR 01:49:31.469 --> 01:49:35.074 DISTRACTION, RIGHT? THAT YOU'LL HUNGER FOR, YOUR FLESH WILL 01:49:35.074 --> 01:49:39.412 LUST FOR. YEAH, COME ON, YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. AND YOU START 01:49:39.412 --> 01:49:42.916 FEEDING OFF OF IT AND FEEDING OFF OF IT AND HUNGERING FOR IT, 01:49:42.916 --> 01:49:47.421 AND YOU START LOSING YOUR HONOR TO GOD. YOUR HUNGER TO GOD. 01:49:47.421 --> 01:49:50.756 YOUR PURSUIT OF GOD. YOUR DILIGENCE TO SEEK HIM FIRST SO 01:49:50.756 --> 01:49:54.094 THAT HE CAN REWARD YOU AND DO EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY BEYOND 01:49:54.094 --> 01:49:56.429 ALL THAT YOU COULD ASK OR THINK. HE CHALLENGED IT. 01:49:56.429 --> 01:49:58.890 SO GOD TELLS US IN PROVERBS 3, HE SAYS, 01:49:58.890 --> 01:50:03.719 "HERE'S HOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT. "IF YOU WANT ME TO BLESS YOU," 01:50:03.719 --> 01:50:08.250 AS WE MOVE INTO THE SWIFT, HE SAID IN PROVERBS 3, HE SAID, 01:50:08.250 --> 01:50:11.520 "HONOR MY WORD, DON'T FORGET IT." NOW YOU KNOW WHAT FORGET 01:50:11.520 --> 01:50:15.510 MEANS? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER FORGOT YOUR KEYS? SOMETIMES 01:50:15.510 --> 01:50:21.090 FORGETTING YOUR KEYS IS BECAUSE YOU'RE DISTRACTED. RIGHT, YOU'RE 01:50:21.090 --> 01:50:26.039 NOT THINKING ABOUT IT. YOU'RE BUSY, YOU'RE IN A HURRY, RIGHT? 01:50:26.039 --> 01:50:30.180 SOMETHING ELSE GOT YOUR ATTENTION THAT YOU FORGOT WHERE 01:50:30.180 --> 01:50:33.779 YOU PUT YOUR KEYS. A LOT OF TIMES IT'S NOT PURPOSEFUL. I 01:50:33.779 --> 01:50:37.970 DON'T PURPOSELY, I THINK I'M GONNA PURPOSELY FORGET MY KEYS. 01:50:37.970 --> 01:50:45.659 NO, IT'S CALLED A LACK OF FOCUS, A LACK OF DISCIPLINE. PUT YOUR 01:50:45.659 --> 01:50:50.100 KEYS WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. I MEAN, THE OTHER DAY, WE 01:50:50.100 --> 01:50:53.789 WERE LOOKING FOR ONE OF OUR CAR KEYS AND WE COULDN'T FIND IT, 01:50:53.789 --> 01:50:56.880 COULDN'T FIND IT. AND I SAID, "HOLY SPIRIT, I HAVE 01:50:56.880 --> 01:50:59.460 LOOKED EVERYWHERE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE 01:50:59.460 --> 01:51:02.189 THEY'RE AT. AND I KNOW BRENDA LOST THEM." 01:51:02.189 --> 01:51:04.997 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) 01:51:04.997 --> 01:51:09.810 NO, NO, SHE KNOWS I'M MESSING WITH HER. AND I HEARD HIM SAY, 01:51:09.810 --> 01:51:14.579 "LOOK IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. "LOOK IN THE BACK OF THE CAR." 01:51:14.579 --> 01:51:17.850 AND SURE ENOUGH, THEY WERE THERE. AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS 01:51:17.850 --> 01:51:22.181 WHEN WE WERE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF THE CAR, THEY FELL OUT. 01:51:22.181 --> 01:51:27.819 AND SO GOD, "FORGET NOT MY WORD." NOW, JOSHUA 1:8, LOOK AT 01:51:27.819 --> 01:51:34.809 JOSHUA 1:8, VERSES 1:8-9. GOD SAYS, "HOW DO YOU HONOR HIS 01:51:34.809 --> 01:51:39.010 WORD?" OKAY, TOMORROW'S DECEMBER 1. WE'RE HEADING INTO A NEW 01:51:39.010 --> 01:51:45.069 YEAR. NOW'S A GREAT TIME TO START. FOR THIS BOOK OF THE LAW, 01:51:45.069 --> 01:51:49.630 OKAY, NOT YOUR PHONE. WELL, THEY DIDN'T HAVE CELL PHONES BACK 01:51:49.630 --> 01:51:55.300 THEN. WELL, EVEN IF THEY DID, THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT PICKING 01:51:55.300 --> 01:52:00.520 UP A PHYSICAL BOOK, GETTING IT IN YOUR HANDS, PUTTING IT BEFORE 01:52:00.520 --> 01:52:04.569 YOUR EYES. I'M CHALLENGING YOU TO DO SO. GET YOUR BIBLE OUT, 01:52:04.569 --> 01:52:08.828 EVEN IF IT'S ONE SCRIPTURE, FIVE MINUTES BEFORE YOU BRUSH YOUR 01:52:08.828 --> 01:52:12.609 TEETH. GET YOUR BIBLE OUT, PUT YOUR BIBLE NEXT TO THE SINK IF 01:52:12.609 --> 01:52:16.479 YOU HAVE TO, READ A SCRIPTURE BEFORE YOU JUMP IN THE SHOWER. I 01:52:16.479 --> 01:52:21.788 WAS NAKED AND UNASHAMED, WHATEVER THE SCRIPTURE WAS. BUT 01:52:21.788 --> 01:52:30.729 READ A SCRIPTURE. IF YOU HAVE A BIBLE AND YOUR WIFE'S GETTING 01:52:30.729 --> 01:52:35.828 READY TO GO IN THE SHOWER, YOU PRAY THE ADAM SCRIPTURE. WHOA, 01:52:35.828 --> 01:52:41.559 MAN, SHE WAS CALLED. YEAH, YEAH, OKAY. AM I HELPING ANYBODY 01:52:41.559 --> 01:52:46.448 TODAY? OKAY. THIS BOOK, THIS BIBLE SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF 01:52:46.448 --> 01:52:51.069 YOUR WHAT? GOTTA SPEAK GOD'S WORD, NOT YOUR NEGATIVITY, NOT 01:52:51.069 --> 01:52:53.590 YOUR FRUSTRATION. AGAIN, YOU WANT GOD TO DO EXCEEDINGLY 01:52:53.590 --> 01:52:55.908 ABUNDANTLY AND BEYOND ALL YOU COULD ASK OR THINK. THAT'S 01:52:55.908 --> 01:53:01.840 CALLED HONORING HIM. HONOR WHAT HE SAID HE WANTS TO DO AND WHO 01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:08.050 HE IS. HE REWARDS YOU. ADD HONOR TO THE DILIGENCE OF YOUR 01:53:08.050 --> 01:53:10.988 PURSUIT. THE BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF YOUR 01:53:10.988 --> 01:53:16.750 MOUTH, BUT YOU SHALL MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT. OKAY, OPEN YOUR 01:53:16.750 --> 01:53:21.698 BIBLE, TAKE ONE SCRIPTURE. THINK ABOUT IT, PRAY IT, TALK IT, TAKE 01:53:21.698 --> 01:53:28.448 EACH WORD. WHEN I STUDY SERMONS, FOR SERMONS, I READ EVERY SINGLE 01:53:28.448 --> 01:53:34.448 WORD VERY SLOWLY AND LIKE 30 TIMES, ONE SCRIPTURE, ONE 01:53:34.448 --> 01:53:38.229 SCRIPTURE. AND I WAIT FOR SOMETHING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO 01:53:38.229 --> 01:53:48.908 POP OFF OUT OF THAT SCRIPTURE. IF YOU DO, IT IS WRITTEN, HE'LL 01:53:48.908 --> 01:53:52.719 MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS. OH, THERE'S A SWIFT. THERE'S 01:53:52.719 --> 01:53:55.630 EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL YOU COULD ASK OR THINK AND 01:53:55.630 --> 01:53:59.229 THOU SHALL HAVE WHAT? SEE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO CLIMB THE 01:53:59.229 --> 01:54:04.000 CORPORATE LADDER. PEOPLE SAY, WELL, WHAT'S THE SUCCESS OF YOUR 01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:09.460 MINISTRY? I WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY THE OTHER DAY. WHAT'S 01:54:09.460 --> 01:54:14.770 THE SUCCESS OF YOUR MINISTRY? GOD. YEAH, BUT YOU HAD TO DO 01:54:14.770 --> 01:54:21.099 SOMETHING. AND I SAID, OH, I'M NOT GOOD AT IT. I'M NOT THE 01:54:21.099 --> 01:54:26.770 SMARTEST GUY, MAYBE, OF HOW TO BUILD A CHURCH. I DIDN'T READ 01:54:26.770 --> 01:54:29.649 HOW TO BUILD A CHURCH MANUAL. I DIDN'T GO TO CHURCH GROWTH 01:54:29.649 --> 01:54:35.710 SEMINARS. I JUST READ THE BOOK OF ACTS. I READ ABOUT MOSES AND 01:54:35.710 --> 01:54:39.670 HIS PURSUIT OF GOD IN HIS PRESENCE. AND GOD BLESSED HIM 01:54:39.670 --> 01:54:43.210 AND BLESSED THE PEOPLE THAT WERE CALLED TO HIM. AND THAT'S WHAT 01:54:43.210 --> 01:54:46.359 MY PRAYER IS. I JUST WANT YOU, GOD, TO BLESS ME. AND I WANT YOU 01:54:46.359 --> 01:54:49.960 TO BLESS THE PEOPLE. BUT I WANT YOU, GOD, MORE THAN ANYTHING. 01:54:49.960 --> 01:54:54.488 ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO BACK. PROVERBS CHAPTER 3. WHAT HAPPENS 01:54:54.488 --> 01:55:00.550 IF WE PUT THIS BIBLE, THIS WORD AS A PRIORITY IN OUR LIFE? IF WE 01:55:00.550 --> 01:55:06.069 HONOR IT, IF WE DON'T JUST PUT THE BIBLE ON OUR PHONE, SEE, 01:55:06.069 --> 01:55:10.630 HERE'S THE THING. WE ARE SO USED TO BEING ON OUR PHONE, ON OUR 01:55:10.630 --> 01:55:15.158 COMPUTERS, ON OUR DEVICES, THAT I THINK OUR BRAIN GETS IN 01:55:15.158 --> 01:55:18.760 OVERDRIVE. AND I DON'T THINK YOU CAN RETAIN, I MEAN, YEAH, YOU 01:55:18.760 --> 01:55:21.010 MIGHT BE ABLE TO RETAIN IT 'CAUSE I STUDY A LOT ON MY 01:55:21.010 --> 01:55:24.849 COMPUTER AND I DO USE MY PHONE FOR SCRIPTURES QUICKLY THAT I 01:55:24.849 --> 01:55:28.090 WANNA MAKE CROSS REFERENCES. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING? I 01:55:28.090 --> 01:55:32.050 GOT MY OLD BIBLE. IT'S ABOUT THIS THICK AND IT'S FALLEN 01:55:32.050 --> 01:55:35.590 APART. TERESA, LADY T, HER MOM PUT IT TOGETHER AND IT'S FALLEN 01:55:35.590 --> 01:55:40.510 APART AGAIN. THE PAGES ARE WORN OUT, THE INK IS SMEARED, BUT I 01:55:40.510 --> 01:55:45.038 GOT IT RIGHT DOWN BY MY CHAIR, MY RECLINER. I GOT RECLINERS 01:55:45.038 --> 01:55:51.399 NOW. AND I PICK IT UP AND I CRACK IT AND I OPEN IT. DO IT 01:55:51.399 --> 01:55:59.618 EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY. FIND A HEALING SCRIPTURE, READ IT. READ 01:55:59.618 --> 01:56:05.469 THE BOOK OF PSALMS, PRAY THE SCRIPTURES. "MY SON, FORGET NOT 01:56:05.469 --> 01:56:12.460 MY WORD. "LET YOUR HEART KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS." NOW WATCH, WHAT 01:56:12.460 --> 01:56:15.099 WILL HAPPEN IF YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF HONOR? FOR YOU'RE GONNA 01:56:15.099 --> 01:56:22.494 HAVE LENGTH OF DAYS AND LONG LIFE. OH, WAIT, WAIT, PASTOR, DO 01:56:22.494 --> 01:56:27.698 YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THE LONGEVITY OF MY LIFE IS 01:56:27.698 --> 01:56:35.139 CONNECTED TO MY HONOR OF GOD'S WORD? YES, YES, LENGTH OF DAYS, 01:56:35.139 --> 01:56:39.969 LONG LIFE AND PEACE. WELL, WHY DO SOME FOLKS NOT HAVE PEACE? 01:56:39.969 --> 01:56:44.439 'CAUSE THEY TALK THE PROBLEM. THEY REHEARSE THE DEFEAT RATHER 01:56:44.439 --> 01:56:51.429 THAN THE VICTORY. WE DON'T WANNA REHEARSE THE DEFEATS, WE WANNA 01:56:51.429 --> 01:56:54.010 REHEARSE THE VICTORIES. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 01:56:54.010 --> 01:56:59.139 VERSE 3, LET NOT MERCY AND TRUTH FORSAKE YOU. OKAY, SO BE A 01:56:59.139 --> 01:57:04.358 PERSON OF MERCY. DON'T MISTREAT PEOPLE, YOU WANT MERCY, RIGHT? 01:57:04.358 --> 01:57:09.038 YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BE MERCIFUL AND KIND TO YOU. REMEMBER, JESUS 01:57:09.038 --> 01:57:15.201 TOLD THE STORY ABOUT THE BOSS WHO WANTED TO BE FORGIVEN AND 01:57:15.201 --> 01:57:20.679 ALL THIS STUFF, BUT YET HE MISTREATED HIS EMPLOYEE AND 01:57:20.679 --> 01:57:23.260 PRACTICALLY THREW HIM IN JAIL AND MADE IT HARSH. AND JESUS 01:57:23.260 --> 01:57:29.559 SAID, "DON'T DO THAT. "LET MERCY AND TRUTH FORSAKE YOU." KEEP, 01:57:29.559 --> 01:57:32.710 NOW WATCH IT, BIND THEM ABOUT YOUR NECK. WHY YOUR NECK? NOW 01:57:32.710 --> 01:57:35.469 EVERYBODY LOOK UP HERE. MAYBE YOU CAN'T SEE MY NECK 'CAUSE MY 01:57:35.469 --> 01:57:42.670 HIGH DODJI COLLARS HERE. SO HERE'S THE THING. AND THE REASON 01:57:42.670 --> 01:57:45.309 I WEAR THESE, BY THE WAY, IS I DON'T WEAR TIES. AND WHEN YOU DO 01:57:45.309 --> 01:57:48.788 TV, THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN WHEN YOU WEAR LOW COLLARS AND 01:57:48.788 --> 01:57:52.149 THEY DO THIS. I JUST THOUGHT I'D SAY IT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT 01:57:52.149 --> 01:57:55.960 THINK I WEAR HIGH COLLARS 'CAUSE I'M INTO MYSELF. NO, I'M INTO 01:57:55.960 --> 01:57:59.529 HAVING A GOOD PRESENTATION THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE 'CAUSE 01:57:59.529 --> 01:58:03.788 MY COLLAR'S DOING THIS. AND WHEN YOU DO AS MUCH TV AS I DO, IT 01:58:03.788 --> 01:58:06.639 JUST HELPS TO HAVE 'EM LIKE THIS. ALL RIGHT, LET MERCY AND 01:58:06.639 --> 01:58:10.179 TRUTH NOT FORSAKE YOU, BUT WHERE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO WEAR YOUR 01:58:10.179 --> 01:58:13.538 HONOR? WELL, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT IN YOUR HEART, BUT IT 01:58:13.538 --> 01:58:16.599 NEEDS TO BE ABOUT YOUR NECK, BECAUSE DO YOU KNOW YOUR NECK 01:58:16.599 --> 01:58:21.609 CONTROLS THE MOVEMENTS OF YOUR HEAD? WHAT'S YOUR HEAD? YOUR 01:58:21.609 --> 01:58:27.969 DECISIONS, YOUR WILL, YOUR AUTHORITY, RIGHT? YOUR HEADSHIP. 01:58:29.738 --> 01:58:34.538 AND IT ALSO STARTS MAKING YOUR BODY MOVE. YOUR NECK IS PART OF 01:58:34.538 --> 01:58:40.179 YOUR MOVEMENTS. HE'S SAYING, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO COME INTO 01:58:40.179 --> 01:58:44.050 BLESSING, FIRST OF ALL, THE WORD, SECOND OF ALL, LET NOT 01:58:44.050 --> 01:58:50.050 MERCY AND TRUTH FORSAKE YOU. KEEP INTEGRITY AND HONOR AT A 01:58:50.050 --> 01:58:55.809 VERY HIGH POINT. HONOR GOD, HONOR OTHERS. LOVE GOD, LOVE 01:58:55.809 --> 01:58:58.809 OTHERS. AND WRITE THEM ON THE TABLE OF YOUR HEART. IN OTHER 01:58:58.809 --> 01:59:01.270 WORDS, YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE ACTIONS WITHOUT HEART 01:59:01.270 --> 01:59:05.679 CONNECTION, RIGHT? YOU CAN SAY THAT YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE, YOU CAN 01:59:05.679 --> 01:59:10.719 DO ALL THE NICE THINGS FOR HER OR FOR HIM, BUT IF IT'S NOT 01:59:10.719 --> 01:59:14.078 CONNECTED WITH HEART, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD SOMEBODY DO 01:59:14.078 --> 01:59:16.420 SOMETHING NICE FOR YOU AND YOU'RE LIKE, COME ON, MAN, YOUR 01:59:16.420 --> 01:59:21.038 HEART WASN'T EVEN ADDED TO IT? JUST KEEP YOUR GIFT, KEEP YOUR 01:59:21.038 --> 01:59:24.189 STUPID GIFT. I'VE SAID THAT A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE GOTTEN 01:59:24.189 --> 01:59:31.538 STUFF, RIGHT? OKAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, NOBODY 01:59:31.538 --> 01:59:35.469 HAS RESPONDED HERE FOR THE LONGEST TIME. I THINK THEY WANNA 01:59:35.469 --> 01:59:38.260 LEAVE, I'M ALMOST DONE. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START GOING THIS 01:59:38.260 --> 01:59:43.850 WAY. VERSE 4, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF INTEGRITY? 01:59:43.850 --> 01:59:48.578 AND PASTOR DOUG WILL NOT HAVE A LONG ALTAR CALL. THOU SHALL FIND 01:59:48.578 --> 01:59:53.402 FAVOR AND GOOD UNDERSTANDING IN THE SIGHT OF GOD AND MEN. SO DO 01:59:53.402 --> 01:59:56.710 YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I CAN HAVE A FAVOR COME OVER MYSELF? 01:59:56.710 --> 01:59:59.408 IN OTHER WORDS, GOD WILL PASS OVER HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OR 01:59:59.408 --> 02:00:03.760 WHATEVER AND BLESS YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE NOT ONLY YOUR 02:00:03.760 --> 02:00:06.908 ACTIONS BUT YOU'VE CONNECTED THEM WITH YOUR HEART, YOUR HEART 02:00:06.908 --> 02:00:11.170 FOR GOD, YOUR HEART FOR PEOPLE. AND AS A RESULT, WOW, GOD SAYS, 02:00:11.170 --> 02:00:16.179 "I'M GONNA CAUSE YOU TO HAVE," ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? "A FAVOR 02:00:16.179 --> 02:00:19.899 WITH ME AND WITH PEOPLE." LOOK AT VERSE 5. "TRUST IN THE LORD 02:00:19.899 --> 02:00:23.050 WITH ALL YOUR HEART. "LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING." SO 02:00:23.050 --> 02:00:26.738 PART OF THAT IS HONORING RATHER THAN ALWAYS TRUSTING GOOGLE AND 02:00:26.738 --> 02:00:29.948 WHAT YOU CAN TYPE IN ON GOOGLE AND FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH 02:00:29.948 --> 02:00:33.368 YOU OR WRONG WITH THE SITUATION, OR WHAT THAT PERSON NEEDS TO DO 02:00:33.368 --> 02:00:40.341 ACCORDING TO DEMONIC AI AND CHAT PQ OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED. WHAT 02:00:40.341 --> 02:00:42.609 ARE YOU TALKING TO THAT STUFF ANYWAY FOR? IT'S NO DIFFERENT 02:00:42.609 --> 02:00:46.658 THAN WHEN SAUL WENT TO THE WITCH OF ENDOR AND CONSULTED THAT 02:00:46.658 --> 02:00:50.948 WITCH FOR DIVINE INSPIRATION AND INFORMATION. IT'S NO DIFFERENT 02:00:50.948 --> 02:00:55.359 THAN GOING TO THE GUY DOWN THE STREET THAT READS HANDS. BE 02:00:55.359 --> 02:00:58.809 CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU'RE TYPING IN. NOW, IF I NEED TO FIGURE 02:00:58.809 --> 02:01:01.630 OUT, AND LISTEN, I TYPED UP IN SOMETHING THE OTHER DAY, I WAS 02:01:01.630 --> 02:01:05.889 TRYING TO STUDY ABOUT DAVID AND BENJAMIN AND THE BENJAMITES, AND 02:01:05.889 --> 02:01:09.250 THEY CAME BACK, AI CAME BACK WITH SOME REALLY INACCURATE 02:01:09.250 --> 02:01:13.179 INFORMATION. AND I WAS LIKE, HOW DID AI EVEN GET IN HERE? MOST OF 02:01:13.179 --> 02:01:16.929 THE TIME, I DON'T EVEN CLICK ON IT. BECAUSE AI WAS ONE OF THE 02:01:16.929 --> 02:01:21.280 TOWNS THAT NEEDED TO BE CONQUERED, THE SECOND TOWN, 02:01:21.280 --> 02:01:23.563 RIGHT? AND THERE WAS AN ACCURSED THING ATTACHED TO IT. AND I 02:01:23.563 --> 02:01:26.859 THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS, I KNOW WOMEN THAT 02:01:26.859 --> 02:01:33.488 SEEK CHAT GPT OR WHATEVER IT IS FOR WHAT THEY NEED IN A SPOUSE. 02:01:33.488 --> 02:01:38.239 NO, YOU NEED TO GO TO YOUR BIBLE. MEN, DON'T GO TO AI. AND 02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:41.300 THEN CAN I TELL YOU ANOTHER THING, WOMEN QUIT USING AI TO 02:01:41.300 --> 02:01:45.050 MANIPULATE YOUR FACE AND YOUR FEATURES AND YOUR BODY SO THAT 02:01:45.050 --> 02:01:48.641 WHEN THAT SPOUSE DOES SHOW UP, THEY LOOK AT YOU AND GO, 02:01:48.641 --> 02:01:57.770 "WHERE'S YOUR SISTER? "WHERE'S YOUR SISTER?" AND I'LL JUST SAY 02:01:57.770 --> 02:02:01.550 IT, THEY GOT A PICTURE OF ME OUT THERE THAT I'M LIKE, IT WAS AT 02:02:01.550 --> 02:02:06.020 OTH, I'M LIKE, "WHO IS THAT GUY?" THAT'S YOU, PASTOR HANK. I 02:02:06.020 --> 02:02:11.750 SAID, "TELL THEM TO QUIT PHOTO WHATEVER THEY, THAT'S NOT ME. I 02:02:11.750 --> 02:02:19.189 HATE IT." LET'S JUST KEEP IT REAL. 'CAUSE AI CAN BE AN 02:02:19.189 --> 02:02:23.055 ACCURSED THING IF YOU LET IT. TRUST IN THE LORD. LEAN OUT HERE 02:02:23.055 --> 02:02:26.630 AND UNDERSTAND, LOOK AT VERSE 6. "IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE 02:02:26.630 --> 02:02:29.390 HIM." THAT'S HONOR, COME ON. THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 02:02:29.390 --> 02:02:34.159 "SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD." HONOR GOD IN EVERYTHING. HOW 02:02:34.159 --> 02:02:38.119 DOES GOD FEEL? LORD, WHAT DOES YOUR HEART THINK ABOUT THIS? 02:02:38.119 --> 02:02:40.860 LORD, DO YOU EVEN HAVE A SAY? I MEAN, I'VE HAD GOD SAY SOMETHING 02:02:40.860 --> 02:02:43.640 TO ME 'CAUSE I HAD SOMETHING ONE TIME THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT AND I 02:02:43.640 --> 02:02:49.579 WAS REALLY MAD. AND I SAID, "GOD, I PRAYED ABOUT THIS. "AND 02:02:49.579 --> 02:02:53.420 I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN "AND I'M JUST HERE TO 02:02:53.420 --> 02:02:59.689 TELL YOU I'M A GRUMP." IT DIDN'T WORK AND HE SAID, "WELL, YOU 02:02:59.689 --> 02:03:04.579 PRAYED ABOUT IT, "BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN." HE SAID, "THERE WERE 02:03:04.579 --> 02:03:07.430 SEVERAL TIMES "WHEN YOU WERE PRAYING ABOUT IT, "I TRIED TO 02:03:07.430 --> 02:03:12.140 INTERRUPT YOU AND TELL YOU THAT THAT WASN'T IT." AND HE SAID, 02:03:12.140 --> 02:03:16.369 "YOU WERE SO BUSY MOVING YOUR MOUTH "AND YOUR LIPS THAT YOU 02:03:16.369 --> 02:03:22.460 DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE MY VOICE." I SAID, "WHEN?" AND THEN HE SAID, 02:03:22.460 --> 02:03:29.408 "AND THEN," HE SAID, "MY MERCY KICKED IN AND I SENT MY PEACE." 02:03:29.408 --> 02:03:33.319 AND WHEN YOU WERE PRAYING ABOUT IT, YOU KNEW IN YOUR HEART YOU 02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:38.600 WEREN'T FEELING MY PEACE. OH, OKAY, YEAH, I DO REMEMBER THAT. 02:03:38.600 --> 02:03:44.149 ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO ON. IN ALL YOUR WAYS, ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND 02:03:44.149 --> 02:03:46.279 WHAT'LL HAPPEN? YOU'LL GET DIVINE DIRECTION. YOU KNOW WHY 02:03:46.279 --> 02:03:50.329 PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO MOST OF THE TIME? 'CAUSE THEY 02:03:50.329 --> 02:03:55.340 DON'T SEEK AND WAIT FOR GOD. THEY GO TO OTHERS, THEY GO TO 02:03:55.340 --> 02:03:59.239 GOOGLE, THEY GO TO THE CELL PHONE, THE TEXT MESSAGES, SOCIAL 02:03:59.239 --> 02:04:05.510 MEDIA, THEY GO TO CHAT PGP OR WHATEVER, AI, AND THEY LOOK FOR 02:04:05.510 --> 02:04:11.029 ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, AND WHERE'S GOD? AND THEN THEY 02:04:11.029 --> 02:04:14.869 WONDER WHY EITHER THEY'RE OUT OF THE WILL OF GOD OR THEY'RE AT 02:04:14.869 --> 02:04:21.795 THE LOW LEVEL. ROMANS TALKS ABOUT THE GOOD, THE ACCEPTABLE, 02:04:21.795 --> 02:04:24.949 AND THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD, THANK YOU. I WANNA LIVE IN THE 02:04:24.949 --> 02:04:28.609 PERFECT WILL OF GOD. SO IF I WANT TO, I HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE 02:04:28.609 --> 02:04:32.039 HIM. I HAVE TO HONOR HIM IN ALL MY WAYS, ALL MY DECISIONS. ALL 02:04:32.039 --> 02:04:36.529 RIGHT, LOOK AT VERSE 7. DON'T BE WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES. GET THE 02:04:36.529 --> 02:04:42.149 FOCUS OFF OF YOU. QUIT MAKING SO MUCH HONORING OF YOURSELF, 02:04:42.149 --> 02:04:46.250 MYSELF. OKAY, IT ISN'T ABOUT HOW GREAT WE ARE, IT'S ABOUT HOW 02:04:46.250 --> 02:04:49.938 GREAT HE IS. BE NOT WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES. FEAR THE LORD AND 02:04:49.938 --> 02:04:55.340 DEPART FROM EVIL. ALL RIGHT, SO YOUR ACTIONS, YOUR LIFESTYLE, 02:04:55.340 --> 02:05:03.409 YOUR DECISIONS ARE CONNECTED TO WHEN YOU HONOR GOD BY DEPARTING 02:05:03.409 --> 02:05:07.654 FROM EVIL. WELL, HOW DO I DEPART FROM EVIL? THE BIBLE SAYS IT, IT 02:05:07.654 --> 02:05:11.479 SAYS, "SOW TO YOURSELF IN RIGHTEOUSNESS." WELL, HOW DO YOU 02:05:11.479 --> 02:05:16.550 SOW? SEEDS. EVERY DAY YOU MAKE DECISIONS. HEY, I DID THAT SIN 02:05:16.550 --> 02:05:22.010 YESTERDAY, I REPENTED, AND I AM MAKING A SEED DECISION. I AM NOT 02:05:22.010 --> 02:05:25.609 GONNA HAVE THAT ATTITUDE. I AM NOT GONNA WALK IN UNFORGIVENESS. 02:05:25.609 --> 02:05:28.729 I'M NOT GONNA TREAT THAT PERSON THAT WAY. I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT 02:05:28.729 --> 02:05:33.800 SIN. I AM CHOOSING THIS DAY TO SERVE THE LORD. I WILL NOT, LIKE 02:05:33.800 --> 02:05:38.000 JOSEPH SAID, THE JOSEPH PRINCIPLE, I WILL NOT SIN 02:05:38.000 --> 02:05:46.880 AGAINST MY GOD. DEPART FROM EVIL, GET IT OUT OF YOUR LIFE. 02:05:46.880 --> 02:05:54.649 WHY? IT'S CONNECTED TO YOUR HEALTH. IT SHALL BE HEALTH TO 02:05:54.649 --> 02:05:59.659 YOUR NAVEL AND IT'LL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO YOUR BONES. DO YOU 02:05:59.659 --> 02:06:03.170 KNOW THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE BITTER, AND THIS 02:06:03.170 --> 02:06:08.390 ISN'T ANYBODY THAT HAS ARTHRITIS OR BONE CONDITIONS, BUT THEY 02:06:08.390 --> 02:06:11.270 HAVE PROVEN THERE IS A CONNECTION. BUT THE BIBLE SAYS 02:06:11.270 --> 02:06:15.859 IT, THAT BITTERNESS GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BONES. SO DEPART 02:06:15.859 --> 02:06:20.119 FROM BITTERNESS, DEPART FROM EVIL. AND YOU SAY, YEAH, BUT I'M 02:06:20.119 --> 02:06:25.369 SO, I DID SO BAD THAT I CAN'T BE HEALED. PSALM 103 IS YOUR 02:06:25.369 --> 02:06:29.029 ANSWER. IT TELLS YOU NOT TO FORGET YOUR BENEFITS. SO THEN IT 02:06:29.029 --> 02:06:31.699 LISTS OUT YOUR BENEFITS. AND THEN IT SAYS, THE FIRST THING, 02:06:31.699 --> 02:06:35.960 HE FORGIVES YOU OF INIQUITIES. YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WHAT IS 02:06:35.960 --> 02:06:41.060 INIQUITIES? PURPOSEFUL SIN. YOU DIDN'T JUST SIN, YOU WORKED AT 02:06:41.060 --> 02:06:45.439 SINNING. AND THEN THE NEXT THING IT SAYS IS HE'LL HEAL YOU OF 02:06:45.439 --> 02:06:49.640 EVERY DISEASE. NOTICE FORGIVENESS OF SIN, HIGH LEVEL, 02:06:49.640 --> 02:06:54.350 PURPOSEFUL SIN IS MENTIONED FIRST IN THE REDEEMING BLOOD OF 02:06:54.350 --> 02:06:59.600 YESHUA AND YOUR RIGHTS. SO IF YOU HAVE SINNED, JUST DEPART. 02:06:59.600 --> 02:07:04.609 ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU. ARE YOU IN THIS ROOM? AND THEN SAY, 02:07:04.609 --> 02:07:07.550 LORD, NOW I POSITION MYSELF. NOW LET ME JUST CLARIFY SOMETHING. 02:07:07.550 --> 02:07:10.819 THIS IS IMPORTANT. I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY THIS. NOWHERE IN 02:07:10.819 --> 02:07:15.619 SCRIPTURE, WHEN THEY WERE ARGUING OVER, I THINK IT WAS A 02:07:15.619 --> 02:07:18.890 BLIND MAN, THEY SAID, JESUS, TELL US WHOSE SIN, THE FATHER, 02:07:18.890 --> 02:07:24.289 THE MOTHER OF THIS KID. JESUS NEVER ENTERED INTO DISCUSSION 02:07:24.289 --> 02:07:28.430 AND PRE-QUALIFIED. OH YEAH, OH, THE PARENTS, MAN, THEY 02:07:28.430 --> 02:07:32.180 FORNICATED AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND THAT'S WHY THAT DEVIL SHOWED 02:07:32.180 --> 02:07:37.850 UP. OH NO, THAT KID, HE'S A MESS. OKAY, HE NEVER CAME TO THE 02:07:37.850 --> 02:07:40.640 MAN AT THE POOL OF BETHESDA THAT WAS LAYING THERE 38 YEARS. WELL, 02:07:40.640 --> 02:07:46.250 IF YOU WANNA QUIT EATING ALL OF THE KOSHER FOOD, THAT WAS, OR 02:07:46.250 --> 02:07:51.859 NO, NON-KOSHER. IF YOU WANNA STAY AWAY FROM THE BARBECUE PIGS 02:07:51.859 --> 02:07:58.069 AND ALL THE SAUCE AND THE CHOCOLATES OF JERUSALEM, Y'ALL 02:07:58.069 --> 02:08:02.181 WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THIS CONDITION. NO, THE ONLY THING HE 02:08:02.181 --> 02:08:05.960 EVER SAID IS DON'T SIN ANYMORE AFTER HE HEALED HIM, AFTER HE 02:08:05.960 --> 02:08:09.199 HEALED HIM. BUT HE NEVER SAID, HEY, YOU HAVE TO BE 02:08:09.199 --> 02:08:11.899 PRE-QUALIFIED. YOU WERE EATING TOO MANY POTATO CHIPS. YOU 02:08:11.899 --> 02:08:15.109 DIDN'T EAT ENOUGH HERBS AND YOU DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH GARLIC IN 02:08:15.109 --> 02:08:21.890 YOUR DIET. HE JUST SAID, MAN, I ALREADY HEALED YOU. AND IF YOU 02:08:21.890 --> 02:08:25.520 BELIEVE THAT I ALREADY HEALED YOU, YOU ARE HEALED, ISAIAH 53, 02:08:25.520 --> 02:08:30.409 YOU WERE HEALED, 1 PETER 2:24, THEN YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S ALL 02:08:30.409 --> 02:08:34.100 YOU NEED TO DO IS BELIEVE THAT. AND YOU'LL SEE THE 02:08:34.100 --> 02:08:37.340 MANIFESTATION. AND IF YOU SIN, ASK FORGIVENESS. ALL RIGHT, LAST 02:08:37.340 --> 02:08:42.229 ONE, STAND YOUR FEET. VERSE 9, ARE YOU READY? HONOR THE LORD 02:08:42.229 --> 02:08:46.909 WITH YOUR SUBSTANCE. TITHING, MALACHI 3:10, BRING HONOR ME, 02:08:46.909 --> 02:08:50.750 SAY IT THE LORD IN THY TITHES AND THY OFFERINGS. HE SAID WITH 02:08:50.750 --> 02:08:53.420 THE SUBSTANCE, WITH THE FIRST FRUITS OF ALL YOUR INCREASE. 02:08:53.420 --> 02:08:56.869 WELL, THE FIRST FRUITS OF ALL YOUR INCREASES, YOU TITHE. YES 02:08:56.869 --> 02:09:02.390 OR NO? THE FIRST FRUITS, NOT THE SECOND FRUITS. THIS IS WHY WHEN 02:09:02.390 --> 02:09:05.300 PEOPLE START GOING DOWN THE SUBJECT OF TITHING AND THEY 02:09:05.300 --> 02:09:08.390 START SAYING, IT'S NOT BIBLICAL, IT'S NOT THIS, IT'S NOT THAT, 02:09:08.390 --> 02:09:10.939 I'M LIKE, OOH, YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE PRINCIPLE OF FIRST 02:09:10.939 --> 02:09:14.810 FRUITS, MAN. YOU'RE MESSING WITH, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT'S IN 02:09:14.810 --> 02:09:18.560 CONTROL OVER YOUR FINANCES, NOT GOD. YOU KNOW WHAT, I COULD GIVE 02:09:18.560 --> 02:09:24.229 A ROYAL RAT'S CAMEL OR A CAMEL HUMP OR WHATEVER, IF IT'S OLD 02:09:24.229 --> 02:09:26.630 TESTAMENT, NEW TESTAMENT, BEFORE THE LAW, AFTER THE LAW, IS THE 02:09:26.630 --> 02:09:29.600 LAW, ISN'T THE LAW. ALL I KNOW IS THE BIBLE SAYS, HE'LL OPEN 02:09:29.600 --> 02:09:31.854 THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, HE'LL REBUKE THE DEVOURER. AND HERE'S 02:09:31.854 --> 02:09:36.260 THE OTHER THING, I KNOW FROM SCRIPTURE, THE INCREDIBLE 02:09:36.260 --> 02:09:40.880 BENEFITS OF HONORING GOD WHEN THEY HONORED GOD WITH THEIR 02:09:40.880 --> 02:09:46.039 TITHE, WHAT HAPPENED. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE BEAUTY OF 02:09:46.039 --> 02:09:51.680 HONORING GOD WITH MY FINANCES. AND THE BLESSING THAT COMES, 02:09:51.680 --> 02:09:55.430 LOOK HERE. IT SAYS IF YOU HONOR GOD AND YOU GET YOUR FINANCIAL 02:09:55.430 --> 02:09:59.479 LANDSCAPE CORRECT, LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS. YOUR BARNS WILL BE 02:09:59.479 --> 02:10:02.301 FILLED WITH PLENTY. ALL RIGHT, STOP RIGHT THERE. WELL, I DON'T 02:10:02.301 --> 02:10:06.890 HAVE ANY MONEY IN MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT. IN FACT, MY INVESTMENT, 02:10:06.890 --> 02:10:14.810 MY BITCOIN GOT DRAINED. AND NOW I GOTTA TRY TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT 02:10:14.810 --> 02:10:17.479 I CAN DO WITH MY ARETHA, OR WHATEVER THEY CALL THAT THING, 02:10:17.479 --> 02:10:22.640 COIN. AND SO MY BARNS ARE FILLED WITH PLENTY. THAT'S YOUR 02:10:22.640 --> 02:10:24.890 SAVINGS. THAT'S YOUR PANTRY. THAT'S YOUR REFRIGERATOR. THAT'S 02:10:24.890 --> 02:10:30.079 YOUR FREEZER, RIGHT? THAT'S YOUR STOREHOUSE. THAT'S NOT HAVING AN 02:10:30.079 --> 02:10:34.550 EMPTY CHECKBOOK. CAN'T PAY THE BILLS. NOTHING LEFT OVER AT THE 02:10:34.550 --> 02:10:38.869 END OF THE BILLS. HONOR GOD WITH YOUR SUBSTANCE, WITH THE FIRST 02:10:38.869 --> 02:10:43.369 FRUITS OF ALL YOUR INCREASE. IT'S NOT HARD. WELL, PASTOR, I 02:10:43.369 --> 02:10:48.199 CAN'T AFFORD 10%. CAN YOU AFFORD 1%? DO IT, SAY GOD BY FAITH, 1%. 02:10:48.199 --> 02:10:50.930 NOW I DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT, I JUST BELIEVE. BRENDA AND I NEVER 02:10:50.930 --> 02:10:55.520 PRACTICED THAT, WELL JUST DO 1%. BUT AT LEAST LET'S DO SOMETHING. 02:10:55.520 --> 02:10:58.024 WE ALWAYS TITHED 10% EVEN WHEN WE DIDN'T 02:10:58.024 --> 02:11:04.698 HAVE IT. AND EVERY SINGLE TIME, 100% GOD 02:11:04.698 --> 02:11:10.369 TRACK RECORD, HE BLESSED US AND WILL CONTINUE. 02:11:10.369 --> 02:11:13.909 AND NOW WATCH THIS, AND YOUR PRESSES WILL BURST OUT WITH NEW 02:11:13.909 --> 02:11:18.957 WINE. LORD, WE NEED A NEW PRESS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, WE NEED SOME 02:11:18.957 --> 02:11:25.310 NEW WINE, WE NEED SOME NEW PRESSES, WE NEED SOME NEW... I 02:11:25.310 --> 02:11:28.159 JUST SAW, YOU KNOW, LIKE A MEDIA VERSE THERE. HOW MANY OF YOU SAW 02:11:28.159 --> 02:11:31.939 THAT MEDIA? BUT WE NEED... OH, LET'S... OKAY, BUT ANYWAY, IF 02:11:31.939 --> 02:11:37.310 SOMETHING IS BURSTING FORTH, THAT'S BREAKTHROUGH. HOW COME 02:11:37.310 --> 02:11:40.734 SOME FOLK DON'T EVER SEE BREAKTHROUGH IN THEIR FINANCES? 02:11:40.734 --> 02:11:48.240 BACK UP TO VERSE 9. IT'S AN ISSUE OF HONOR. HONOR THE LORD. 02:11:48.240 --> 02:11:53.649 HONOR HIM WITH YOUR STUFF AND WITH THE FIRST-FRUITS OF ALL 02:11:53.649 --> 02:11:58.180 YOUR INCREASE. I HAVE A 1928 FORD MODEL A WOODY THAT WAS 02:11:58.180 --> 02:12:01.180 GIVEN TO ME BY CLINT, IF YOU'RE WATCHING, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, 02:12:01.180 --> 02:12:04.239 STEVE, YOU REMEMBER PULLING THAT CAR UP HERE FOR ME DOWN IN TEXAS 02:12:04.239 --> 02:12:09.340 25 YEARS AGO. AND THEY ONLY MADE A HANDFUL OF THEM. AND I HAD A 02:12:09.340 --> 02:12:12.939 GUY THAT I SHOWED ONE TIME AND HE SAYS, "OH, WELL, HONOR THE 02:12:12.939 --> 02:12:18.579 LORD. I GUARANTEE YOU, GOD'S GOING TO ASK YOU TO GIVE THIS 02:12:18.579 --> 02:12:26.289 THING UP." THAT'S WHAT HE DOES WITH ME. AND I SMACKED HIM. I 02:12:26.289 --> 02:12:29.439 SAID, "GOD TOLD ME THIS WAS A GIFT FROM HIM "AND IT WAS HIS 02:12:29.439 --> 02:12:34.420 BLESSING." NOW, IF HE ASKED ME, I WILL. BUT HE TOLD ME NOT EVEN 02:12:34.420 --> 02:12:39.076 TO THINK ALONG THOSE LINES. SOME THINGS ARE KEEPERS. OKAY, GOD 02:12:39.076 --> 02:12:45.670 DIDN'T JUST BLESS ME WITH BRENDA. RIGHT? THAT WOULD BE A 02:12:45.670 --> 02:12:52.569 DUMB ONE. THAT'S A REALLY STUPID ONE. WELL, SOME THINGS ARE 02:12:52.569 --> 02:12:55.600 KEEPERS IS WHAT MY, DID YOU SEE THAT, SOME THINGS ARE KEEPERS? 02:12:55.600 --> 02:12:58.510 YEAH, THEY'RE A KEEPER. OKAY, JUST SAY HE MEANT KEEPER, HE IS 02:12:58.510 --> 02:13:04.060 A KEEPER. ALL RIGHT, FATHER, I GOTTA BE DONE, BUT BREAKTHROUGH. 02:13:04.060 --> 02:13:07.869 WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT HONOR, WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT LOVE, AND GOD, I'M 02:13:07.869 --> 02:13:11.050 ASKING, STARTING WITH THIS VESSEL, AND LET IT SPILL OUT 02:13:11.050 --> 02:13:15.609 OVER THE OTHERS. GOD, WE COME INTO A PLACE WHERE WE HONOR THE 02:13:15.609 --> 02:13:19.810 LORD. YOU ARE GOD, WITH ALL OF OUR HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND 02:13:19.810 --> 02:13:23.829 STRENGTH. LORD, WE HONOR YOU WITH OUR BLESSINGS THAT YOU'VE 02:13:23.829 --> 02:13:26.949 GIVEN TO US, EVEN OUR FINANCES. WE HONOR YOU WITH OUR WORDS. WE 02:13:26.949 --> 02:13:30.250 HONOR YOU WITH OUR ATTITUDES, OUR ACTIONS. AND LORD, I JUST 02:13:30.250 --> 02:13:35.560 ASK THAT AS WE ARE CONTINUING TO RECEIVE THIS WORD, THAT THE HOLY 02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:39.340 SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD CONTINUE TO MARINATE IT IN OUR HEARTS. AND 02:13:39.340 --> 02:13:42.489 IF THERE'S THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADJUSTED, IF THERE'S THINGS 02:13:42.489 --> 02:13:46.029 THAT, LORD, WE'RE DOING RIGHT, WE DO ASK FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT 02:13:46.029 --> 02:13:50.170 IN THAT. BUT WHAT WE WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING IS TO HONOR AND 02:13:50.170 --> 02:13:56.680 LOVE YOU AND TO HONOR OTHERS. TEACH US, AND WE ARE DETERMINED 02:13:56.680 --> 02:14:01.840 TO PUT ON CHRIST. IT'S NOT WORKS. LORD, IT'S A SPIRITUAL 02:14:01.840 --> 02:14:07.180 POSITION AND REVELATION OF WHO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AND WHO WE 02:14:07.180 --> 02:14:11.289 ARE. AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND DOUG IS COMING WITH A VERY, 02:14:11.289 --> 02:14:14.220 VERY QUICK ALTAR CALL SO YOU GUYS CAN GO. 02:14:14.220 --> 02:14:18.057 AMEN? AMEN. I LOVE YOU AND I HONOR YOU TOO. 02:14:18.057 --> 02:14:20.060 - GREAT MESSAGE TODAY. - THANK YOU, LORD. AMEN. 02:14:20.060 --> 02:14:21.560 - AMEN. - ALL RIGHT, GOD BLESS YOU. 02:14:21.560 --> 02:14:25.351 - PRAISE GOD. ALTAR TEAM, YOU CAN RUN UP HERE. THOSE OF YOU 02:14:25.359 --> 02:14:29.319 THAT ARE WORKING IN AN AREA IN THE FOYER LIKE THE CONNECT CAFE 02:14:29.319 --> 02:14:32.829 OR A PARKING LOT OR INFORMATION CENTER, FEEL FREE TO BE 02:14:32.829 --> 02:14:36.699 DISMISSED NOW. THAT IS, IF YOU'RE SAVED. IF YOU'RE NOT 02:14:36.699 --> 02:14:41.409 SAVED, DON'T BE DISMISSED. NO, I'M JUST, CAUSE WE'RE GONNA TALK 02:14:41.409 --> 02:14:43.989 ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE, BUT BOY, WASN'T THAT A GREAT 02:14:43.989 --> 02:14:45.970 MESSAGE? THAT WOULD BE A GOOD ONE JUST TO KEEP IN YOUR 02:14:45.970 --> 02:14:49.060 ARCHIVES, GO BACK AND LISTEN TO ONCE A MONTH OR SOMETHING, JUST 02:14:49.060 --> 02:14:53.590 TO KEEP US ALL ON TRACK, AMEN? WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS 02:14:53.590 --> 02:14:58.510 THINKING ABOUT IS HONORING GOD. ARE WE HONORING GOD? THE 02:14:58.510 --> 02:15:05.109 GREATEST WAY THAT ANY HUMAN BEING CAN HONOR GOD IS ACCEPTING 02:15:05.109 --> 02:15:09.340 JESUS AS SAVIOR. BECAUSE WE REALLY DISHONOR GOD IF WE DON'T 02:15:09.340 --> 02:15:13.750 RECEIVE JESUS AND HONOR THE SACRIFICE THAT WAS GIVEN TO KEEP 02:15:13.750 --> 02:15:17.829 US OUT OF HELL. SO THAT'S THE FIRST STEP IN HONORING GOD, 02:15:17.829 --> 02:15:20.529 REALLY. BUT LET ME ASK YOU THIS QUESTION TODAY, AND WE'LL DO 02:15:20.529 --> 02:15:25.630 THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY, I HOPE I DON'T WANT TO DISHONOR MY PASTOR 02:15:25.630 --> 02:15:29.979 AND GO TOO LONG. SO I GOT TO WATCH THIS, I'M GOING TO MOVE. 02:15:29.979 --> 02:15:33.069 BUT JUST STAY WITH ME FOR A MOMENT IF YOU WOULD. IS HEAVEN 02:15:33.069 --> 02:15:36.369 IN YOUR FUTURE? I'M ASKING THOSE THAT ARE HERE AND THOSE THAT ARE 02:15:36.369 --> 02:15:39.159 WATCHING ONLINE TODAY, AND WE THANK YOU, ONLINE AUDIENCE, FOR 02:15:39.159 --> 02:15:42.909 STICKING WITH US AND TUNING IN. ONE SCRIPTURE I WAS THINKING 02:15:42.909 --> 02:15:47.314 ABOUT EARLY THIS MORNING WAS REVELATION CHAPTER 21, VERSE 27. 02:15:47.314 --> 02:15:49.659 AND I WANT TO READ IT TO YOU. IT SAYS, "NOTHING EVIL WILL BE 02:15:49.659 --> 02:15:54.939 ALLOWED TO ENTER, NOR ANYONE WHO PRACTICES SHAMEFUL, IDOLATRY, 02:15:54.939 --> 02:15:59.050 AND DISHONESTY." THAT'S TALKING ABOUT ENTERING INTO HEAVEN. BUT 02:15:59.050 --> 02:16:03.340 LISTEN TO THESE WORDS. "BUT ONLY THOSE NAMES THAT ARE WRITTEN IN 02:16:03.340 --> 02:16:08.048 THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE." SO THERE'S A BOOK THAT GOD HAS 02:16:08.048 --> 02:16:11.649 CALLED THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE. AND WHEN PEOPLE RECEIVE HIM AS 02:16:11.649 --> 02:16:16.689 SAVIOR, ACCEPT CHRIST AND WHAT HE'S DONE, THEN THEIR NAMES ARE 02:16:16.689 --> 02:16:21.310 WRITTEN IN THAT BOOK. AND I WANNA ASK YOU A QUESTION TODAY. 02:16:21.310 --> 02:16:24.520 IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THAT BOOK? ARE YOU 100% SURE? IN 02:16:24.520 --> 02:16:27.550 FACT, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT BELIEVE ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS 02:16:27.550 --> 02:16:32.079 SAVED, THAT I COULD NEVER LOSE MY SALVATION FOR ANY REASON, 02:16:32.079 --> 02:16:37.690 I'VE GOT A WAY TO DISPROVE THAT BECAUSE IN REVELATION CHAPTER 3, 02:16:37.690 --> 02:16:41.500 JESUS HIMSELF IS SPEAKING, AND HE SAID, "I WILL NOT BLOT YOUR 02:16:41.500 --> 02:16:46.239 NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE "IF YOU'RE AN OVERCOMER." SO THAT 02:16:46.239 --> 02:16:49.270 TELLS ME IF YOUR NAME COULD BE WRITTEN IN OR COULD BE BLOTTED 02:16:49.270 --> 02:16:52.360 OUT, THERE'S A CHANCE THAT PEOPLE COULD LOSE THEIR 02:16:52.360 --> 02:16:59.829 SALVATION IF THEY GO WAY OFF AND THEY DON'T OVERCOME. ARE YOU AN 02:16:59.829 --> 02:17:06.280 OVERCOMER? ARE YOU FOLLOWING GOD 100%? IT'S NOT BASED ON WORKS, 02:17:06.280 --> 02:17:10.870 IT'S BASED ON REPENTANCE AND GRACE AND MERCY. WE CAN'T WORK 02:17:10.870 --> 02:17:13.239 OUR WAY THERE. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO IN OUR OWN FLESH TO 02:17:13.239 --> 02:17:17.770 GET TO HEAVEN. BUT I JUST WANT US TO KNOW THAT IT'S SO 02:17:17.770 --> 02:17:21.370 IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT YOUR ETERNITY. BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME 02:17:21.370 --> 02:17:25.239 IF YOU WOULD. PASTOR HANK MENTIONED THE FIVE FOOLISH 02:17:25.239 --> 02:17:30.640 VIRGINS. THEY WERE CAUGHT UP WITH IDOLS, FLUSH, LUST, 02:17:30.640 --> 02:17:34.750 CONCERNS WITH MONEY AND PLEASURE IN THE WORLD. THAT'S WHAT GETS 02:17:34.750 --> 02:17:39.190 US OFF. AND WE ALL HAVE A CHANCE TO COME BACK TO HIM. SO TODAY I 02:17:39.190 --> 02:17:42.851 WANNA ASK YOU TO JUST EXAMINE YOUR HEART. ARE YOU 100% SURE 02:17:42.851 --> 02:17:46.569 THAT YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR HOME IN HEAVEN AND NOT IN HELL IF YOU 02:17:46.569 --> 02:17:51.129 LEFT THIS EARTH? PEOPLE GET TAKEN OUT EVERY DAY, ALL AGES, 02:17:51.129 --> 02:17:55.780 FROM LITTLE PEOPLE TO PEOPLE THAT ARE 90. THEY GO INTO 02:17:55.780 --> 02:18:01.000 ETERNITY EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. MOVE ON TO ETERNITY. YOU HAVE TO 02:18:01.000 --> 02:18:05.319 MAKE A DECISION TODAY. JESUS NEVER SENDS ANYONE TO HELL. WE 02:18:05.319 --> 02:18:11.110 SEND OURSELVES THERE BY NOT RECEIVING HIS SACRIFICE. IS 02:18:11.110 --> 02:18:13.959 THERE SOMEONE HERE TODAY, MAYBE IN THIS AUDIENCE OR MAYBE 02:18:13.959 --> 02:18:17.171 WATCHING ONLINE TODAY AT HOME, AND YOU SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, I 02:18:17.171 --> 02:18:21.370 WANT PRAYER. "I WANT TO MAKE 100% SURE TODAY THAT I HAVE 02:18:21.370 --> 02:18:24.700 HEAVEN IN MY FUTURE. I WANT THAT ABUNDANT LIFE THAT JESUS 02:18:24.700 --> 02:18:28.750 PROMISED. I WANT TO KNOW THAT HE HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE AND A 02:18:28.750 --> 02:18:32.709 GOOD FUTURE FOR ME IN STORE, NOT ONLY ON THIS EARTH, BUT IN 02:18:32.709 --> 02:18:36.011 HEAVEN. AND IF THAT'S YOU TODAY AND YOU SAY, I WANT PRAYER, I 02:18:36.011 --> 02:18:38.681 NEED TO MAKE SURE OF THAT DECISION. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU 02:18:38.681 --> 02:18:41.950 TO BE VERY BOLD AND RAISE YOUR HAND WHEN I COUNT TO THREE. THIS 02:18:41.950 --> 02:18:44.979 WON'T TAKE LONG, BUT IT STARTS WITH A PRAYER. WE'RE GOING TO 02:18:44.979 --> 02:18:50.409 PRAY, AND GOD WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR HEART. IF YOU NEED 02:18:50.409 --> 02:18:54.190 JESUS TODAY, BE BOLD AND JUST RAISE YOUR HAND. ONE, TWO, 02:18:54.190 --> 02:18:56.829 THREE. RAISE YOUR HAND IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE IN THIS 02:18:56.829 --> 02:19:01.931 PLACE. IF YOU'RE AT HOME WATCHING FROM WORK OR YOUR HOTEL 02:19:01.931 --> 02:19:04.007 ROOM OR SOMEWHERE, YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND. GOD WILL SEE YOU 02:19:04.007 --> 02:19:06.431 RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU'RE AT. WE'RE GOING TO PRAY TOGETHER, 02:19:06.431 --> 02:19:08.739 AND GOD WILL CHANGE YOUR HEART AND YOUR LIFE. IS THERE ANYONE 02:19:08.739 --> 02:19:12.761 HERE? USHERS, HELP ME. I DON'T SEE ANYONE HERE TODAY. LET'S 02:19:12.761 --> 02:19:18.879 PRAY. FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS. I BELIEVE 02:19:18.879 --> 02:19:25.569 THAT JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME. HE WAS MY SACRIFICE. AND 02:19:25.569 --> 02:19:30.040 THEN HE WAS BURIED. AND HE ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO 02:19:30.040 --> 02:19:36.159 THE BIBLE. I BELIEVE THAT. I ASK YOU, JESUS, BE THE LORD OF MY 02:19:36.159 --> 02:19:41.409 LIFE. FORGIVE ME FOR ANY SIN IN MY LIFE. PUT ME ON TRACK WITH 02:19:41.409 --> 02:19:48.790 YOU, AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. IN JESUS' 02:19:48.790 --> 02:19:52.270 NAME I PRAY THAT, AMEN. AND IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER TODAY, 02:19:52.270 --> 02:19:58.731 WHEREVER YOU'RE AT, YOU CAN CALL OUR PRAYER LINE, 855-777-7907. 02:19:58.731 --> 02:20:01.630 24 HOURS A DAY, THERE'S PRAYER COUNSELORS AVAILABLE, AND 02:20:01.630 --> 02:20:04.780 THEY'LL SEND YOU INFORMATION THAT WE WOULD GIVE SOMEONE HERE 02:20:04.780 --> 02:20:08.110 IF YOU WERE HERE IN PERSON.
