LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT 29:37.579 --> 29:41.530 WITH OUR SCRIPTURE. I'M GONNA GO TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE ONES, IT'S 29:41.530 --> 29:45.230 A FAMILIAR ONE TO EVERYBODY, 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6. I'M GONNA READ 29:45.230 --> 29:49.159 IT FIRST FROM THE AMPLIFIED CLASSIC AND IT GOES LIKE THIS. 29:49.159 --> 29:53.298 REMEMBER THIS, HE WHO SOWS SPARINGLY AND GRUDGINGLY WILL 29:53.298 --> 29:57.349 ALSO REAP SPARINGLY AND GRUDGINGLY AND HE WHO SOWS 29:57.349 --> 30:02.089 GENEROUSLY THAT BLESSINGS MAY COME TO SOMEONE WILL ALSO REAP 30:02.089 --> 30:08.075 GENEROUSLY AND WITH BLESSINGS. LET EACH ONE GIVE AS HE HAS MADE 30:08.075 --> 30:13.654 UP HIS OWN MIND AND PURPOSED IN HIS HEART, NOT RELUCTANTLY OR 30:13.654 --> 30:19.984 SORROWFULLY OR UNDER COMPULSION. FOR GOD LOVES, HE TAKES PLEASURE 30:19.984 --> 30:25.174 IN, PRIZES ABOVE OTHER THINGS, AND IS UNWILLING TO ABANDON OR 30:25.174 --> 30:30.964 TO DO WITHOUT A CHEERFUL, JOYOUS, PROMPT TO DO IT GIVER 30:30.964 --> 30:36.785 WHOSE HEART IS IN HIS GIVING. AND GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE ALL 30:36.785 --> 30:41.434 GRACE, EVERY FAVOR AND EARTHLY BLESSING COME TO YOU IN 30:41.434 --> 30:47.015 ABUNDANCE SO THAT YOU MAY ALWAYS AND UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AND 30:47.015 --> 30:51.184 WHATEVER THE NEED BE SELF-SUFFICIENT, POSSESSING 30:51.184 --> 30:56.164 ENOUGH TO REQUIRE NO AID OR SUPPORT AND FURNISHED IN 30:56.164 --> 31:01.775 ABUNDANCE FOR EVERY GOOD WORK AND CHARITABLE DONATION. I ALSO 31:01.775 --> 31:06.005 LIKE THIS A LOT IN THE MESSAGE BIBLE AND THERE HE SAYS, 31:06.005 --> 31:12.904 "REMEMBER A STINGY PLANTER GETS A STINGY CROP. A LAVISH PLANTER 31:12.904 --> 31:17.734 GETS A LAVISH CROP. I WANT EACH OF YOU TO TAKE PLENTY OF TIME TO 31:17.734 --> 31:22.474 THINK IT OVER AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND WHAT YOU WILL GIVE. 31:22.474 --> 31:27.035 THAT WILL PROTECT YOU AGAINST SOB STORIES AND ARM-TWISTING. 31:27.035 --> 31:31.265 GOD LOVES IT WHEN THE GIVER DELIGHTS IN THE GIVING. GOD CAN 31:31.265 --> 31:35.105 POUR ON THE BLESSINGS IN ASTONISHING WAYS SO THAT YOU'RE 31:35.105 --> 31:39.605 READY FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING MORE THAN JUST READY 31:39.605 --> 31:46.144 TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. HALLELUJAH. I WAS READING SOME 31:46.144 --> 31:48.994 BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION RECENTLY ABOUT A FAMOUS 31:48.994 --> 31:54.785 EVANGELIST AND MISSIONARY FROM GERMANY NAMED GEORGE MUELLER. 31:54.785 --> 31:59.555 AND GEORGE LIVED IN THE 1800S. HE'S REMEMBERED, AMONG OTHER 31:59.555 --> 32:04.474 THINGS, FOR HIS RADICAL TRANSFORMATION FROM A DRINKING, 32:04.474 --> 32:10.924 GAMBLING, THIEVING, WOMANIZING, HEATHEN, WHO LATER DESCRIBED 32:10.924 --> 32:16.894 HIMSELF AS HAVING INDULGED IN "GROSS IMMORALITY" TO A MAN OF 32:16.894 --> 32:24.125 GREAT FAITH, PRAYER, AND GENEROSITY. HE GAVE REGULARLY 32:24.125 --> 32:28.085 AND RELIED TOTALLY ON GOD AFTER THAT TRANSFORMATION FOR 32:28.085 --> 32:32.194 EVERYTHING. HE CHANGED FROM A MOCKER TO WHAT I THINK IS 32:32.194 --> 32:36.694 ESSENTIALLY THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE SCRIPTURE I JUST READ. AS 32:36.694 --> 32:41.045 IT SAYS THERE IN 2 CORINTHIANS, GEORGE DETERMINED IN HIS HEART 32:41.045 --> 32:46.954 TO GIVE LAVISHLY AND CHEERFULLY, DEPENDING ON THE LORD FOR ALL 32:46.954 --> 32:53.285 HIS PROVISION, AND IN RETURN GOD SHOWED HIM FAVOR AND BLESSED HIM 32:53.285 --> 32:59.164 IN ASTONISHING WAYS. AFTER INITIALLY BLOWING ALL HIS MONEY 32:59.164 --> 33:04.174 ON SINFUL PLEASURES, GEORGE ANSWERED THE CALL OF GOD AND HE 33:04.174 --> 33:09.394 MOVED TO ENGLAND WHERE HE PASTORED AND HE PLANTED CHURCHES 33:09.394 --> 33:13.984 AND THEN AFTERWARD HE BEGAN ESTABLISHING ORPHANAGES. BY THE 33:13.984 --> 33:18.934 TIME OF HIS DEATH AT THE GOOD OLD AGE OF 93, HE HAD BUILT A 33:18.934 --> 33:23.734 TOTAL OF FIVE HOUSES THAT COULD CARE FOR 2,000 CHILDREN AT A 33:23.734 --> 33:29.944 TIME AND HAD A PAID STAFF OF OVER 600 PEOPLE. AND WHEN ASKED 33:29.944 --> 33:35.164 ABOUT HOW GIVING FIGURED INTO HIS LIFE'S JOURNEY, GEORGE 33:35.164 --> 33:39.755 TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HOW WE ARE TO GIVE AND THE 33:39.755 --> 33:44.164 CONSEQUENCES OF DOING IT THE WRONG WAY. AND HE'S QUOTED AS 33:44.164 --> 33:48.964 SAYING THE FOLLOWING, "FIX THE AMOUNT YOU PURPOSE TO GIVE OF 33:48.964 --> 33:53.644 YOUR INCOME AND GIVE THIS REGULARLY. IF YOU NEGLECT IN 33:53.644 --> 33:58.744 HABITUAL GIVING, A REGULAR GIVING, A GIVING PRINCIPLE BASED 33:58.744 --> 34:02.434 UPON SCRIPTURAL GROUNDS, AND LEAVE IT ONLY TO FEELING AN 34:02.434 --> 34:06.815 IMPULSE OR PARTICULAR AROUSING CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU WILL 34:06.815 --> 34:11.224 CERTAINLY BE A LOSER. NOW BACK IN THAT DAY, HE WASN'T SAYING 34:11.224 --> 34:16.894 LOSER LIKE THIS. I THINK HE'S SAYING, DON'T LOSE OUT ON YOUR 34:16.894 --> 34:20.764 BLESSING. WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT BEING A LOSER, HE'S TALKING 34:20.764 --> 34:25.144 ABOUT LOSING WEALTH AND RESOURCES INSTEAD OF GAINING 34:25.144 --> 34:33.574 THEM. HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE KINGDOM WAY AFTER ALL. HE 34:33.574 --> 34:37.295 DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE BECAUSE HE'S 34:37.295 --> 34:42.994 ALSO TALKING ABOUT FAITHFULNESS IN GIVING, MAKING IT A HABIT, 34:42.994 --> 34:48.065 PART OF YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM, IF YOU WILL. SO DON'T 34:48.065 --> 34:52.505 TAKE TIME OFF DURING THE SUMMER. DON'T GO ON VACATION AND NEGLECT 34:52.505 --> 34:56.675 TO GIVE. YOU MIGHT BE AT YOUR ISLAND RETREAT FOR A COUPLE OF 34:56.675 --> 35:01.744 WEEKS, BUT YOUR STOREHOUSE IS STILL HERE IN BUSINESS. STILL 35:01.744 --> 35:05.224 HAS TO PAY ITS OPERATING EXPENSES. SO BE FAITHFUL. 35:05.224 --> 35:10.505 CONSISTENCY IS EVERYTHING. AND GEORGE ADDRESSES ALSO WHAT 35:10.505 --> 35:14.554 PASTOR BRENDA MENTIONED ON SUNDAY. HE SAYS, "IN ESSENCE, 35:14.554 --> 35:18.664 YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL IT TO BELIEVE IT. FAITH ISN'T ABOUT 35:18.664 --> 35:23.074 FEELINGS OR EMOTIONS, AND THOSE SHOULD NOT ENTER INTO YOUR 35:23.074 --> 35:27.184 GIVING DECISIONS." GEORGE SAYS, "DON'T LEAVE YOUR GIVING TO 35:27.184 --> 35:31.355 FEELING AND IMPULSE OR PARTICULAR AROUSING 35:31.355 --> 35:35.554 CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU DO THAT, YOU WILL CERTAINLY LOSE GROUND." 35:35.554 --> 35:40.144 WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE GROUND, DO WE? SO THE SCRIPTURE IS TELLING 35:40.144 --> 35:44.224 US IN 2 CORINTHIANS 9:7 THIS, "DON'T GIVE GRUDGINGLY, 35:44.224 --> 35:48.094 SORROWFULLY, OR BASED ON ARM TWISTING OR SOB STORIES." THIS 35:48.094 --> 35:51.755 WOULD BE GIVING UNDER COMPULSION, BASED ON FEELINGS, 35:51.755 --> 35:56.556 BASED ON EMOTION. BASE YOUR GIVING ON THOUGHTFUL DECISION. 35:57.605 --> 36:02.164 PURPOSE IN YOUR HEART TO GIVE LAVISHLY AND RECEIVE BOUNTIFULLY 36:02.164 --> 36:07.534 AND THEN DO IT. IN FACT, LET'S ALL DO IT TONIGHT. LET'S SOW 36:07.534 --> 36:11.525 WITH PURPOSE AND GIVE GENEROUSLY SO THAT WE CAN HARVEST 36:11.525 --> 36:16.144 BOUNTIFULLY AND ABUNDANTLY, SO WE CAN WIN AND NOT LOSE IN THE 36:16.144 --> 36:21.784 KINGDOM ECONOMY. THE GIVING INFORMATION IS ABOUT TO APPEAR 36:21.784 --> 36:26.074 ON YOUR SCREENS. AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE MULTIPLE METHODS 36:26.074 --> 36:31.355 AVAILABLE TO YOU. ENVELOPE, WEBSITE, MOBILE APP, TEXT TO 36:31.355 --> 36:36.304 GIVE, ALWAYS MY FAVORITE, AND SNAIL MAIL AND QR CODE. I THINK 36:36.304 --> 36:41.315 WE'VE GOT EVERYBODY COVERED. USHERS ARE IN THE AISLES WITH 36:41.315 --> 36:45.425 ENVELOPES IF YOU NEED THOSE. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL IN THIS 36:45.425 --> 36:49.085 ROOM IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THIS 36:49.085 --> 36:53.255 MINISTRY. AND YOU OUT THERE ONLINE, YOU CONSISTENTLY BLESS 36:53.255 --> 36:56.795 US WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF GIVING AND WE SO APPRECIATE THAT. AND 36:56.795 --> 37:04.445 TOGETHER, ALL OF US ARE MAKING A HUGE IMPACT FOR THE KINGDOM. SO 37:04.445 --> 37:09.215 IF YOU HAVE YOUR OFFERINGS READY IN HERE AND OUT THERE, WE'LL 37:09.215 --> 37:11.764 TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO PRAY A QUICK BLESSING OVER THOSE, 37:11.764 --> 37:15.934 HEAVENLY FATHER. WE THANK YOU TONIGHT FOR YOUR WORD OF 37:15.934 --> 37:19.864 ENCOURAGEMENT AND EXHORTATION. I THANK YOU THAT WE ARE 37:19.864 --> 37:24.275 ESTABLISHED IN YOUR WAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THAT WE ARE 37:24.275 --> 37:28.864 CONSISTENT AND FAITHFUL IN OUR GIVING AND THAT WE WILL NEVER BE 37:28.864 --> 37:33.755 LOSERS, ONLY WINNERS IN THE KINGDOM, THAT YOU WILL OVERTAKE 37:33.755 --> 37:38.554 US WITH YOUR ABUNDANT BLESSING AND WOW US WITH YOUR FAVOR AS WE 37:38.554 --> 37:43.565 SOW TONIGHT FOR OUR GREAT HARVEST IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME 37:43.565 --> 37:49.144 AND EVERYONE WHO AGREED SHOUTED AMEN. NOW LET'S WELCOME BACK TO 37:49.144 --> 37:52.744 THE PULPIT OR TO THE PULPIT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS EVENING, 37:52.744 --> 38:00.724 FIRST TIME IN A WHILE, PASTOR CHRISTY. AMEN. WELL, YOU CAN ALL 38:00.724 --> 38:05.914 BE SEATED. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WE ALREADY HAD SOME GOOD CHURCH 38:05.914 --> 38:14.885 IN HERE? I WILL NOT BE MOVED BY WHAT I SEE. I WILL NOT BE MOVED 38:14.885 --> 38:17.315 BY WHAT I FEEL. I MEAN, THAT'S A GREAT SEGUE INTO WHAT WE'RE 38:17.315 --> 38:27.364 GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT. AMEN. YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT, 38:27.364 --> 38:29.465 I BELIEVE WHAT THE PROPHET HAS SAID, THAT WE'RE GETTING READY 38:29.465 --> 38:32.284 TO COME INTO THE GREATEST HARVEST THIS NATION HAS SEEN. 38:34.144 --> 38:40.385 NOT JUST A HARVEST OF SOULS, BUT A HARVEST FOR THE PEOPLE THAT 38:40.385 --> 38:47.014 HAVE LAID DOWN THEIR LIFE AND THEIR PRAYER TIME AND THEY HAVE 38:47.014 --> 38:51.394 STOOD WHEN IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE ANYTHING WAS GONNA CHANGE. AND 38:51.394 --> 38:56.914 WE'RE ALREADY SEEING THE SEEDLINGS STARTING TO EMERGE 38:56.914 --> 39:00.934 ABOVE THE SOIL. BUT WE'RE GONNA TALK TONIGHT ABOUT UNLOCKING 39:00.934 --> 39:05.224 YOUR HARVEST SEASON. BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES THE DEVIL 39:05.224 --> 39:09.514 HAS DONE SO MUCH TO TRY TO HOLD THE PEOPLE OF GOD BACK. AND YOU 39:09.514 --> 39:14.105 KNOW, I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY ONLINE RECENTLY THAT IF HE CAN 39:14.105 --> 39:17.344 KEEP THE CHURCH, IF THE DEVIL CAN KEEP THE CHURCH FROM 39:17.344 --> 39:22.355 PROSPERING, IF HE CAN KEEP THE CHURCH UNDERFUNDED, IF HE CAN 39:22.355 --> 39:26.795 KEEP PEOPLE FROM GIVING, IF THE DEVIL CAN DO THAT, HE WANTS TO 39:26.795 --> 39:31.054 DO IT BECAUSE WHEN THE GOSPEL OF THIS KINGDOM IS PREACHED HERE 39:31.054 --> 39:35.224 AND IN THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH, WE SEE THE GREATEST 39:35.224 --> 39:38.824 BLACK EYE TO THE ENEMY THAT WE'RE GONNA SEE. WHEN THE ENEMY, 39:38.824 --> 39:42.755 THE ENEMY IS DEFEATED BY WHEN THE CHURCH IS PROSPERING, WHEN 39:42.755 --> 39:46.474 THE CHURCH IS STRONG, WHEN THE CHURCH IS STANDING IN THE FACE 39:46.474 --> 39:51.934 OF EVIL, THAT IS WHAT TERRIFIES THE DEVIL THE MOST. SO I BELIEVE 39:51.934 --> 39:55.054 WE NEED TO COME INTO A HARVEST SEASON. AND LISTEN, A HARVEST 39:55.054 --> 39:58.775 ISN'T JUST AN ISSUE OF OUR FINANCES. LISTEN, WE NEED TO 39:58.775 --> 40:04.175 PROSPER ON ALL SIDES. WE NEED OUR CHILDREN SERVING THE LORD. 40:04.175 --> 40:09.605 WE NEED TO BE BLESSED WHEN WE'RE COMING IN, WHEN WE'RE GOING OUT, 40:09.605 --> 40:12.815 THAT OUR HOMES ARE BLESSED, OUR HOUSES ARE BLESSED, THAT GOD IS 40:12.815 --> 40:16.864 CAUSING US TO INCREASE ON EVERY SIDE, AMEN? ALL RIGHT, WELL, 40:16.864 --> 40:20.224 OPEN YOUR BIBLES WITH ME, IF YOU WILL, TO GENESIS CHAPTER EIGHT, 40:20.224 --> 40:26.864 VERSE 22. AND MOST OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD THIS SCRIPTURE 40:26.864 --> 40:31.454 BEFORE, AND IT SAYS, "AS LONG AS THE EARTH REMAINS," NOW IS THE 40:31.454 --> 40:35.655 EARTH HERE RIGHT NOW? "AS LONG AS THE EARTH REMAINS, THERE IS 40:35.655 --> 40:39.974 THIS PRINCIPLE, "THERE WILL BE PLANTING AND HARVEST COLD AND 40:39.974 --> 40:43.695 HEAT." NOW, IN THE KING JAMES, WHICH IS WHERE I READ THIS FROM, 40:43.695 --> 40:46.724 AND IT'S WHERE I HAVE IT FROM, IT SAYS AS LONG AS THE EARTH 40:46.724 --> 40:51.735 REMAINS, THERE IS SEED, AND IT SAYS SEED TIME, BUT REALLY THERE 40:51.735 --> 40:54.675 IS SEED TIME AND THEN THERE IS HARVEST, BECAUSE HOW MANY OF YOU 40:54.675 --> 41:01.304 KNOW IF YOU PLANT A SEED, YOU DON'T GET FRUIT THE SAME DAY? 41:02.355 --> 41:07.215 YOU KNOW, THERE IS A TIME TO PLANT, AND THEN THERE IS A TIME 41:08.264 --> 41:13.125 FOR THAT SEED TO GROW UP. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW WHAT 41:13.125 --> 41:17.032 WE'RE DOING WHEN WE'VE PUT SEED IN THE GROUND SO THAT WE KNOW 41:17.032 --> 41:20.445 THAT BETWEEN THE PLANTING AND THE HARVEST, WHEN WE'RE DOING 41:20.445 --> 41:22.934 SOMETHING IN BETWEEN THE PLANTING AND THE HARVEST, IT'S 41:22.934 --> 41:28.094 GONNA DETERMINE YOUR OUTCOME. AND LISTEN, OUR PREPARATION FOR 41:28.094 --> 41:31.755 THE HARVEST, IT STARTS A LONG TIME BEFORE THE HARVEST ARRIVES. 41:31.755 --> 41:37.335 AND WE'RE THE INPATIENT GENERATION. WE WANT TO PUT OUR 41:37.335 --> 41:43.784 SEED IN THE GROUND, SET THE MICROWAVE FOR 30 SECONDS, AND 41:43.784 --> 41:48.614 PULL OUT OUR HARVESTS. AND I WISH, LISTEN, I WISH THAT IT 41:48.614 --> 41:51.074 WORKS LIKE THAT. NOW LISTEN, I'M TELLING YOU, WE ARE GETTING 41:51.074 --> 41:55.934 READY TO, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IN THE LATTER DAYS, WHEN 41:57.735 --> 42:01.244 THERE'S THE SPRING RAIN AND THE HARVEST RAIN, IT SAYS THE 42:01.244 --> 42:04.724 PLOWMAN IS GONNA OVERTAKE THE REAPER, AND THAT'S HOW QUICKLY 42:04.724 --> 42:08.355 WE'RE GONNA SEE HARVEST COME. BUT I BELIEVE SOME OF THAT HAS 42:08.355 --> 42:13.244 BECOME BECAUSE WE COME INTO A REVELATION ON HOW TO BE PEOPLE 42:13.244 --> 42:16.454 THAT DRAW THE HARVEST TO US INSTEAD OF BEING PEOPLE THAT 42:16.454 --> 42:19.844 SHOVE THE HARVEST AWAY FROM US. AND SOMETIMES THAT IS THE REASON 42:19.844 --> 42:22.719 THAT WE DON'T RECEIVE. AND HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE YOUR HARVEST 42:22.719 --> 42:26.264 WAS RUNNING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION? I FELT LIKE THAT 42:26.264 --> 42:29.505 SOMETIMES. YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, GOLLY GOSH, MAN, I'VE BEEN 42:29.505 --> 42:34.724 SOWING SEED. I'VE BEEN DOING ALL THE THINGS, AND IT SEEMS LIKE MY 42:34.724 --> 42:39.164 HARVEST IS GOING FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY. BUT YOU KNOW, 42:39.164 --> 42:45.074 LISTEN, OUR EXPECTATION FOR OUR HARVEST IS DETERMINED BY THE 42:45.074 --> 42:47.474 AMOUNT OF PREPARATION THAT WE PUT INTO OUR HARVEST. 42:51.494 --> 42:57.195 BECAUSE A FARMER DOESN'T GET TO JUST GO GET THE HARVEST. HE HAS 42:57.195 --> 43:00.525 TO START PLANNING, HE HAS TO PURCHASE THE SEED, HE HAS TO 43:00.525 --> 43:05.054 PLOW, HE HAS TO WORK FOR THE HARVEST. HE DOESN'T JUST GET TO 43:05.054 --> 43:10.755 GO OUT THERE, FLING SOME SEEDS IN SOME FIELD AND THEN HOPE THAT 43:10.755 --> 43:18.344 HE'S GONNA GET A HARVEST WHEN THE HARVEST SEASON SHOWS UP. SO, 43:18.344 --> 43:24.255 AND YOU KNOW WHAT, AND HARVEST IS NOT A HANDOUT. A HARVEST IS 43:24.255 --> 43:28.335 BECAUSE WE PLOWED, WE PLANTED, WE PRUNED, WE WEEDED, WE 43:28.335 --> 43:31.815 WATERED, AND THEN WE RECEIVED. DO YOU KNOW THERE IS WORK 43:31.815 --> 43:35.820 BETWEEN THE SEED AND THE HARVEST BECAUSE THEN THERE IS TIME IN 43:35.820 --> 43:38.715 THERE. AND LISTEN, YOU KNOW, YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF THE FIVE 43:38.715 --> 43:42.195 FOOLISH VIRGINS THAT DIDN'T FILL THEIR LAMP WITH THE OILS AND THE 43:42.195 --> 43:44.804 OIL, AND THEN THE BRIDEGROOM CAME, AND THEN THEY WANTED TO GO 43:44.804 --> 43:47.804 BORROW SOMEBODY ELSE'S OIL. LISTEN, WE ARE IN A SEASON OF 43:47.804 --> 43:51.014 LIFE. YOU CAN'T LIVE OFF OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S OIL. YOU HAVE TO 43:51.014 --> 43:55.034 HAVE THE OIL OF THE ANOINTING IN YOUR LIFE. YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW 43:55.034 --> 43:59.025 TO REAP YOUR OWN HARVEST. YOU CAN'T BE, YOU CAN'T BE, WE DON'T 43:59.025 --> 44:00.494 SERVE A SOCIALIST GOSPEL. 44:02.108 --> 44:06.405 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 44:06.405 --> 44:09.135 YOU DON'T GET TO REAP SOMEBODY ELSE'S HARVEST. IF YOU DIDN'T 44:09.135 --> 44:15.945 PLANT IT, BABY, YOU DON'T GET TO REAP IT. SO YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN 44:15.945 --> 44:21.704 WHAT TO DO IN THE PART BETWEEN PLANTING THE SEED, AND ACTUALLY 44:21.704 --> 44:25.425 BEFORE PLANTING THE SEED, 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT, AND 44:25.425 --> 44:29.414 WHEN THE HARVEST COMES. SO THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO DO IF 44:29.414 --> 44:33.614 YOU'RE GONNA SOW SOME SEED OR YOU'RE GONNA GET A HARVEST IS 44:33.614 --> 44:40.454 YOU'VE GOT TO PLOW. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET 44:40.454 --> 44:44.565 AN ADEQUATE SEED OR A HARVEST IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FIELD PLOWED 44:44.565 --> 44:48.914 AND READY TO GO TO SOW SEED INTO. NO PLOWING EQUALS NO 44:48.914 --> 44:52.934 HARVEST. ALL RIGHT, TURN OVER TO PROVERBS CHAPTER 20, VERSE FOUR. 44:55.034 --> 44:59.684 AND IT SAYS, "THE SLUGGARD WILL NOT PLOW BY REASON OF THE COLD. 44:59.684 --> 45:02.264 "THEREFORE, HE SHALL BEG IN THE HARVEST AND HAVE NOTHING." WHAT 45:02.264 --> 45:07.005 DOES THAT MEAN? IT SAYS, BECAUSE YOU ARE LAZY AND YOU DON'T PLOW 45:07.005 --> 45:10.965 BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE, OH, IT'S TOO HARD, IT'S TOO MUCH, I DON'T 45:10.965 --> 45:14.025 WANNA, I DON'T WANNA, I DON'T WANNA TURN THAT OVER. YOU KNOW, 45:14.025 --> 45:17.925 HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW, IT IS NOT FUN TO GO DIG A GARDEN? HAS 45:17.925 --> 45:21.255 ANYBODY DUG A GARDEN IN THEIR LIFE BEFORE? I HAVE, AND YOU 45:21.255 --> 45:27.855 KNOW WHAT? IT STINKS. IT REALLY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S REALLY NOTHING 45:27.855 --> 45:31.094 FUN ABOUT GOING, NOW IF YOU GO GET ONE OF THOSE LITTLE TILLERS 45:31.094 --> 45:35.085 THAT TURNS THE SOIL UP, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER. BUT IT STILL 45:35.085 --> 45:40.184 WORKED. I SAID IT WAS A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BUT IT STILL WORKED. 45:40.184 --> 45:44.835 AND YOU KNOW, YOUR SOIL, IF YOU DON'T PREPARE YOUR SOIL, DO YOU 45:44.835 --> 45:53.625 KNOW YOUR SOIL MATTERS? DO YOU KNOW THE DIRT MATTERS? YOU CAN'T 45:53.625 --> 46:02.054 SOW IN HARDENED CLAY. IT DOESN'T GROW. TURN OVER TO MARK CHAPTER 46:02.054 --> 46:05.355 FOUR. NOW, WE ALL KNOW THIS ONE. VERSE THREE, IT SAYS, "HEARKEN 46:05.355 --> 46:10.994 AND BEHOLD, "THERE WENT OUT A SOWER TO SOW. "AND IT SAID SOME 46:10.994 --> 46:15.255 FELL BY THE WAYSIDE." IN OTHER WORDS, THAT'S THE SEED THAT JUST 46:15.255 --> 46:21.195 KINDA, WE'RE HOPING SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH IT. "AND THE 46:21.195 --> 46:23.474 FOWLS OF THE AIR CAME AND DEVOURED IT UP." SEE, HERE'S THE 46:23.474 --> 46:27.164 THING, IF YOU'RE JUST KINDA HOPING SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN, 46:27.164 --> 46:30.675 SEE, THAT'S WHERE THE DEVIL GETS TO COME IN AND STEAL THE SEED. 46:30.675 --> 46:35.175 BECAUSE IT WASN'T PURPOSELY PLANTED. AND THEN IT SAYS, "AND 46:35.175 --> 46:40.605 SOME FELL ON STONY GROUND "WHERE IT HAD NOT MUCH EARTH, "AND 46:40.605 --> 46:43.844 IMMEDIATELY IT SPRANG UP BECAUSE IT HAD NO DEPTH." WHAT IS THAT? 46:43.844 --> 46:50.565 THAT'S ROCKY, HARD SOIL. A SEED CANNOT THRIVE IN ROCKY, HARD 46:50.565 --> 46:56.804 SOIL. LET'S GO ON. AND IT SAYS, "BUT THEN THE SUN WENT UP "AND 46:56.804 --> 46:59.445 IT WAS SCORCHED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY ROOT "AND IT 46:59.445 --> 47:03.405 WITHERED AWAY." SEE, YOU CAN'T BE ROOTED, YOU CAN'T ROOT INTO 47:03.405 --> 47:07.724 SOMETHING THAT'S HARD. YOU KNOW, IF OUR HEART IS HARD, THE WORD 47:07.724 --> 47:12.644 OF GOD CAN'T ROOT IN THERE IF WE DON'T SOFTEN OURSELVES. ALL 47:12.644 --> 47:15.764 RIGHT, LET'S GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE. AND IT SAYS, "AND SOME FELL 47:15.764 --> 47:18.914 AMONG THE THORNS "AND GREW UP AND IT GOT CHOKED." WELL, THEY 47:18.914 --> 47:24.315 DIDN'T WEED. AND IT DIDN'T YIELD ANY FRUIT. AND THEN LET'S GO TO 47:24.315 --> 47:28.184 VERSE EIGHT, AND IT SAYS, "AND THE OTHER FELL ON GOOD GROUND, 47:28.184 --> 47:31.335 "AND DID YIELD FRUIT, AND SPRANG UP, "AND INCREASED, AND BROUGHT 47:31.335 --> 47:37.335 FORTH SOME 30, "AND SOME 60, AND SOME A HUNDREDFOLD." SO HERE'S 47:37.335 --> 47:40.184 THE THING, WHAT IS THE MORAL OF THE STORY? WE'VE GOTTA BREAK UP 47:40.184 --> 47:45.375 THE DRY GROUND. HOSEA 10, VERSE 12 SAYS, "THAT YOU SOW TO 47:45.375 --> 47:48.795 YOURSELVES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, "YOU REAP IN MERCY." BREAK UP 47:48.795 --> 47:52.094 YOUR FALLOW GROUND. WHAT IS THE FALLOW GROUND? IT'S THE GROUND 47:52.094 --> 47:55.815 THAT HASN'T BEEN TILLED, OR IT'S THE GROUND THAT'S BEEN HARDENED, 47:55.815 --> 47:59.355 AND WHEN YOU GO AND YOU TILL IT, THEN YOU STIR IT UP SO THAT YOU 47:59.355 --> 48:03.074 GET THE NUTRIENTS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH, AND THEN 48:03.074 --> 48:07.605 THE SEED CAN BE SOWN, AND IT CAN ROOT IN THE SOIL. BUT IF YOU 48:07.605 --> 48:12.135 DON'T STIR THAT UP, THEN YOUR SEED CAN'T GROW. AND IT SAYS, 48:12.135 --> 48:14.625 "FOR IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD "TILL HE COMES AND HE RAINS 48:14.625 --> 48:19.394 RIGHTEOUSNESS UPON YOU." AND YOU KNOW, DRY, CRUSTY GROUND, A LOT 48:19.394 --> 48:23.655 OF TIMES IS WHERE WEEDS THRIVE. YOU KNOW, IT'S WHERE THE THORNS 48:23.655 --> 48:31.275 AND THE THISTLES THRIVE. BUT THE SEED, OR THE GROUND THAT IS GOOD 48:31.275 --> 48:36.344 FOR PLANTING, THAT'S GOOD, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT A CORN CROP, 48:36.344 --> 48:42.105 YOU WANT SOME GOOD, RICH SOIL. AND YOU KNOW, AND HERE'S THE 48:42.105 --> 48:46.215 THING, WHEN WE PLOW, YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY THAT MEANS TO US? IT 48:46.215 --> 48:50.239 MEANS THAT WE'RE PREPARING OURSELVES TO DO IT GOD'S WAY. DO 48:50.239 --> 48:53.954 YOU KNOW, THAT'S ANOTHER THING, A FARMER DOESN'T GO OUT AND JUST 48:54.974 --> 48:58.005 DIG UP SOME DIRT HERE, DIG UP SOME DIRT THERE. DO YOU KNOW 48:58.005 --> 49:02.744 THERE IS LINES, STRAIGHT LINES THAT THEY SOW, AND YOU KNOW WHY 49:02.744 --> 49:07.244 THEY DO IT THAT WAY? BECAUSE IT YIELDS A BETTER HARVEST. IF YOU 49:07.244 --> 49:10.451 JUST DIG UP A LITTLE DIRT HERE, DIG UP A LITTLE DIRT THERE, AND 49:10.451 --> 49:15.885 DIG UP A LITTLE DIRT OVER HERE, AND YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE WAY 49:15.885 --> 49:20.894 THAT GOD, THE ORDER AND THE PURPOSE OF GOD, THE PLAN OF GOD, 49:20.894 --> 49:24.465 THEN YOU'RE NOT SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR THE BEST HARVEST. DO YOU 49:24.465 --> 49:29.505 KNOW IT'S HARD TO CARE FOR SEEDS THAT HAVE BEEN JUST PLANTED ALL 49:29.505 --> 49:37.454 OVER THE PLACE? SO, YOU KNOW, GOD, AND HERE'S THE THING, THE 49:37.454 --> 49:41.775 MORE GROUND THAT YOU PLOW, IN OTHER WORDS, THE MORE THAT YOU 49:41.775 --> 49:44.925 HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE THE LORD, THE MORE THAT YOU'RE OBEDIENT TO 49:44.925 --> 49:48.795 THE LORD, THE MORE THAT YOU FOLLOW AFTER HIM, THAT'S HOW WE 49:48.795 --> 49:53.594 PLOW GROUND. THE MORE THAT WE FOLLOW AFTER THE LORD, THE MORE 49:53.594 --> 49:57.315 GROUND THAT WE'RE SOWING, THE GREATER HARVEST WE HAVE THE 49:57.315 --> 50:01.155 ABILITY TO HAVE BECAUSE WE HAVE GREATER SOIL TO PUT SEED INTO. 50:02.594 --> 50:08.505 YOU KNOW, AND I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO SEE A FARMER GO OUT AND YOU 50:08.505 --> 50:13.965 KNOW, JUST NOT USE THE TILLER, NOT, YOU KNOW, GO PLOW THE 50:13.965 --> 50:18.364 LINES. AND HE'S JUST THROWING SOME SEEDS OUT INTO THE GROUND. 50:20.235 --> 50:23.684 IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, GOD'S A GOD OF 50:23.684 --> 50:26.894 ORDER. AND HE WANTS US TO BE BUILT LINE UPON LINE, PRECEPT 50:26.894 --> 50:30.525 UPON PRECEPT, AND THE MORE THAT WE'RE BUILT IN THE WAY OF GOD, 50:30.525 --> 50:34.425 THE MORE THAT WE TURN OUR EAR TO THE WORD OF THE LORD, THE MORE 50:34.425 --> 50:39.644 THAT WE'RE TILLING UP OUR HEART. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN GOD 50:39.644 --> 50:44.556 SPEAKS TO US, IT'S NOT ALWAYS PLEASANT. DO YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT 50:44.556 --> 50:49.903 ALWAYS, WE LOVE THE GOOD WORDS. WE LOVE THE WORDS THAT SAYS, OH 50:49.903 --> 50:54.606 MAN, YOU'RE DOING SO GREAT, I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE SO AWESOME, AND 50:56.916 --> 50:59.945 THERE ARE JUST GREAT THINGS COMING FOR YOU. WE DON'T LIKE 50:59.945 --> 51:02.226 THE ONES THAT SAID, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T TALK TO YOUR 51:02.226 --> 51:06.163 SPOUSE THAT WAY. WE DON'T LIKE THE ONES THAT SAID, OH, YOU KNOW 51:06.163 --> 51:11.835 WHAT, DON'T, BE KIND ONE TO ANOTHER, TENDERHEARTED, 51:11.835 --> 51:14.826 FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER. WELL, I DON'T WANNA DO THE FORGIVENESS 51:14.826 --> 51:19.956 PART, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, GOD, THEY HURT MY HEART. WELL, YOU'RE NOT 51:19.956 --> 51:24.846 PLOWING ACCORDING TO THE WAY THAT GOD TOLD US TO PLOW. WHEN 51:24.846 --> 51:28.775 HE SAID, "WALK IN LOVE," THAT'S PLOWING ACCORDING TO THE WAY 51:28.775 --> 51:33.186 THAT GOD TOLD US TO PLOW. WHEN HE'S TELLING US TO SOW SEED, 51:33.186 --> 51:38.195 WHEN OUR BANK ACCOUNT'S GETTING A LITTLE BIT LOW, WE'RE NOT 51:38.195 --> 51:41.048 PLOWING THE WAY THAT GOD TOLD US TO PLOW. ALL RIGHT, SO THAT'S 51:41.048 --> 51:43.235 THE NUMBER ONE THING YOU'VE GOTTA DO. IF YOU WANNA HARVEST, 51:43.235 --> 51:51.606 YOU HAVE TO PLOW. AND BY THE WAY, ONCE YOU RECEIVE A HARVEST, 51:51.606 --> 51:55.655 YOU DON'T STOP. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FARMER DOES IMMEDIATELY 51:55.655 --> 51:59.525 AFTER HE GETS THE HARVEST AND HE'S BROUGHT IN ALL THE HARVEST? 51:59.525 --> 52:03.005 THEY SAY THE BEST WAY TO GET A CROP FOR THE NEXT YEAR IS TO 52:03.005 --> 52:08.045 TURN AROUND AND IMMEDIATELY PLOW THE FIELD. YOU DON'T KNOW WHY? 52:08.045 --> 52:12.215 BECAUSE THE FRUIT OR THE PLANTING OF THE LAST SEASON IS 52:12.215 --> 52:20.315 FERTILIZING THE SOIL FOR THE NEXT SEASON. AMEN? NOW, DAD, AM 52:20.315 --> 52:24.755 I SAYING THAT WRONG? 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU GREW UP ON A FARM, YOU 52:24.755 --> 52:29.795 LIVED IN FARM COUNTRY. AND THEY DON'T JUST WAIT. AND LIKE, OH, I 52:29.795 --> 52:33.275 GOT THE HARVEST. I'M GONNA SIT DOWN NOW AND JUST WAIT FOR 52:33.275 --> 52:38.525 EVERYTHING. THEY'RE ALREADY PREPARING FOR THE NEXT SEASON, 52:38.525 --> 52:41.376 AMEN. ALL RIGHT, THE SECOND THING WE GOTTA DO IS WE GOTTA 52:41.376 --> 52:46.146 SOW. TURN OVER TO GALATIANS CHAPTER SIX, VERSE EIGHT. AND 52:46.146 --> 52:49.266 HERE'S THE THING, AGAIN, WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT OUR 52:49.266 --> 52:52.806 FINANCES. I MEAN, A LOT OF TIMES WE THINK OF OUR SOWING IN 52:52.806 --> 52:58.655 FINANCES ONLY, BUT LISTEN, YOU'VE GOTTA SOW TOWARDS YOUR 52:58.655 --> 53:01.626 CHILDREN'S FUTURE. YOU GOTTA SOW, IF YOU WANNA SEE YOUR 53:01.626 --> 53:06.155 NATION TURNED AROUND, YOU GOTTA SOW IN PRAYER, YOU GOTTA SOW 53:06.155 --> 53:12.516 YOUR TIME, YOU GOTTA SOW FOR YOU TO SEE THE GOODNESS OF GOD, 53:12.516 --> 53:14.675 GOODNESS OF GOD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING, AMEN? SO IT SAYS, 53:14.675 --> 53:18.246 "FOR HE THAT SOWS TO HIS FLESH "SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP 53:18.246 --> 53:22.565 CORRUPTION, "BUT HE THAT SOWS TO THE SPIRIT "SHALL OF THE SPIRIT 53:22.565 --> 53:28.746 REAP EVERLASTING LIFE." AND YOU KNOW, GOD IS A GOD OF PRINCIPLE. 53:28.746 --> 53:34.565 WHATEVER WE SOW, WE'RE GONNA REAP. ALL RIGHT, NOW PASTOR MARK 53:34.565 --> 53:39.635 STOLE MY SCRIPTURE. TURN OVER TO 2 CORINTHIANS 9, VERSE 6. 53:39.635 --> 53:42.306 ACTUALLY, HE JUST, YOU KNOW, HE WAS TILLING THE GROUND A LITTLE 53:42.306 --> 53:48.065 BIT, THAT'S WHAT HE WAS DOING. AND IT SAYS, "BUT I SAY, HE 53:48.065 --> 53:51.635 WHICH SOWS SPARINGLY "SHALL REAP ALSO SPARINGLY." ACTUALLY, I 53:51.635 --> 53:57.815 LIKED HOW HIS TRANSLATION SAID IT SAYS, "STINGILY." AND SEE, 53:57.815 --> 54:03.005 WHEN WE'RE STINGY, THAT USUALLY MEANS THAT WE DIDN'T WANNA SOW 54:03.005 --> 54:05.856 IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND IF WE DIDN'T WANNA SOW IN THE FIRST 54:05.856 --> 54:12.215 PLACE, SOMETIMES THAT'S GOING TO DETERMINE OUR OUTCOME. YOU KNOW, 54:12.215 --> 54:14.856 AND HERE'S THE THING, I HATE TO SAY IT, SOMETIMES AS HUMAN 54:14.856 --> 54:21.335 BEINGS, WE'RE A STUBBORN LOT. WE WANT THINGS OUR WAY, IN OUR 54:21.335 --> 54:30.365 TIME, AND YOU KNOW, WE LIKE TO BE, IF WE'RE FLESHLY, WE LIKE TO 54:30.365 --> 54:33.246 BE SELFISH. SO IT SAYS, SO IF YOU'RE GONNA SOW SPARINGLY, 54:33.246 --> 54:37.326 YOU'RE GONNA REAP SPARINGLY, BUT HE THAT SOWS BOUNTIFULLY SHALL 54:37.326 --> 54:43.295 WHAT? - REAP. - BOUNTIFULLY. SO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T BE AFRAID OF 54:43.295 --> 54:51.335 SOWING THE SEED. AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IN SOWING, JUST 54:51.335 --> 54:55.235 BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE IT SPROUT UP IMMEDIATELY DOESN'T MEAN THAT 54:55.235 --> 55:00.246 SOMETHING ISN'T HAPPENING UNDERNEATH THE EARTH. YOU KNOW, 55:00.246 --> 55:05.315 PASTOR SHANE SAID, YOU KNOW, THAT GOD WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH 55:05.315 --> 55:09.876 RESURRECTION POWER. BUT, AND HE IS, AND SEE, THAT'S WHY THE 55:09.876 --> 55:13.416 POWER OF THE SEED IS SO POWERFUL. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, 55:13.416 --> 55:21.726 WHEN YOU CUT THE CORN OFF OF THE PLANT, DO YOU KNOW IT'S NO 55:21.726 --> 55:29.168 LONGER LIVING? THE SEED IS NO LONGER ALIVE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT 55:29.168 --> 55:32.826 ATTACHED ANYMORE TO A LIFE SOURCE. BUT BECAUSE THERE IS 55:32.826 --> 55:36.186 RESURRECTION POWER INSIDE OF THAT SEED, WHEN IT GOES INTO 55:36.186 --> 55:43.536 GOOD GROUND, IT CAN SPRING FORTH AND PRODUCE A HARVEST. SO THAT'S 55:43.536 --> 55:53.045 WHY YOUR SEED'S POWERFUL. AND YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THAT WHEN 55:53.045 --> 55:56.076 WE GET TO WHERE WE'RE LIKE, GOD, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T CARE. YOU 55:56.076 --> 55:59.076 KNOW, I HEARD IT SAID, AND YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD IT SAID 55:59.076 --> 56:04.416 MANY TIMES, THAT IF GOD CAN GET IT THROUGH YOU, HE'S GONNA GET 56:04.416 --> 56:07.956 IT TO YOU. DO YOU KNOW, HE IS THE ONE THAT PROVIDES SEED TO 56:07.956 --> 56:11.646 THE SOWER. IF YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, I DON'T HAVE SEED TO SOW, THEN, 56:11.646 --> 56:15.471 YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE SEED TO SOW. YOU START WITH SOMETHING. 56:16.655 --> 56:22.746 YOU START SOMEWHERE. YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE, IF YOUR BANK 56:22.746 --> 56:25.925 ACCOUNT'S IN THE NEGATIVE, THEN I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE 56:25.925 --> 56:29.646 A CAN OF CORN OUT OF YOUR PANTRY OR OUT OF YOUR CUPBOARD AND RUN 56:29.646 --> 56:33.096 IT DOWN TO HEARTLAND HOME MISSION AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? 56:33.096 --> 56:37.266 I'M FINDING A WAY TO SOW A SEED. I'M FINDING A WAY TO SOW A SEED. 56:42.726 --> 56:48.456 YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES WE MAKE SOWING SEEDS SO MUCH 56:48.456 --> 56:51.876 HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. AND SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WE JUST 56:51.876 --> 56:58.085 NEED TO ASK GOD, WHAT SEED DO I SOW? HOW DO I BECOME A PERSON 56:58.085 --> 57:01.925 THAT SOWS ABUNDANTLY? HOW DO I BECOME A PERSON THAT SOWS 57:01.925 --> 57:04.715 GENEROUSLY? YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING YOU CAN DO IS GO TAKE SOME 57:04.715 --> 57:07.295 CLOTHES OUT OF YOUR CLOSET, RUN IT DOWN TO HEARTLAND HOPE 57:07.295 --> 57:13.146 MISSION, SOW SOMETHING. GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH. IF YOU 57:13.146 --> 57:17.556 WANNA HARVEST, YOU'VE GOTTA GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH. YOU 57:17.556 --> 57:23.226 CAN'T SIT THERE AND GO, "WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, AND I'M SO 57:23.226 --> 57:27.666 POOR." WELL, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT TOO, BECAUSE NOW 57:27.666 --> 57:31.565 WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WEEDING. SEE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES 57:31.565 --> 57:37.295 WE LET A LOT OF WEEDS GROW UP AND STEAL THE SEED. DID YOU GET, 57:37.295 --> 57:39.485 SEE, YOU GOTTA GET RID OF THE WEEDS SO THE WEEDS DON'T KILL 57:39.485 --> 57:47.916 THE SEED. I DON'T THINK YOU HEARD THAT. YOU GOTTA GET RID OF 57:47.916 --> 57:55.206 THE WEEDS THAT KILL THE SEEDS. NOW, HEBREWS CHAPTER THREE, 57:55.206 --> 58:00.036 VERSE 12, THE FIRST WEED THAT WE GOTTA WEED UP IS AN EVIL HEART 58:00.036 --> 58:04.925 OF UNBELIEF. BECAUSE IN HEBREWS CHAPTER THREE, VERSE 12, IT 58:04.925 --> 58:08.735 SAYS, "TAKE HEED, BRETHREN, "LEST THERE BE IN ANY OF YOU AN 58:08.735 --> 58:13.686 EVIL HEART." IT'S NOT JUST A HEART OF UNBELIEF. SOMETIMES WE 58:13.686 --> 58:18.876 LIKE TO EXCUSE OUR UNBELIEF AS HURT, PAIN, I'VE BEEN DONE 58:18.876 --> 58:29.135 WRONG, I HAVE THIS REASON AND THAT REASON, AND GOD'S NOT 58:29.135 --> 58:34.206 ANSWERING ME, AND WOE IS ME. AND REALLY, WHEN THE CHILDREN OF 58:34.206 --> 58:37.655 ISRAEL, AND THEY HAD SEEN ALL THE MIRACLES OF GOD, AND SEE, 58:37.655 --> 58:41.916 THAT'S THE OTHER THING. IF WE WANNA HARVEST, WE CAN'T BE JUST 58:41.916 --> 58:49.655 THE SHOW-ME STATE. WE'RE NOT MISSOURI. WE'RE NOT THE SHOW ME 58:49.655 --> 58:58.565 STATE. NO, WE'RE GONNA PROVE GOD. BECAUSE YOU SAID IT GOD, I 58:58.565 --> 59:03.335 BELIEVE IT. AND IT SAYS THAT YOU HAVE AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF 59:03.335 --> 59:06.396 IN DEPARTING FROM THE LIVING GOD. HOW ARE WE DEPARTING? 59:06.396 --> 59:09.126 'CAUSE SOMETIMES WE CAN HAVE AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF AND WE 59:09.126 --> 59:13.596 CAN BE SITTING RIGHT IN THE PEW AT THE CHURCH ON A SUNDAY, 59:13.596 --> 59:16.626 SERVING IN THE CHURCH AND STILL HAVE AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF. 59:19.326 --> 59:23.166 BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTING GOD TO SHOW US OR WE THINK WE'RE OWED. 59:25.175 --> 59:29.436 WELL, HELLO, CULTURE. I MEAN, THAT'S THE SOCIALISM MINDSET. DO 59:29.436 --> 59:35.436 YOU WANNA KNOW WHY GOD IS AGAINST SOCIALISM? BECAUSE HE'S 59:35.436 --> 59:38.826 A GOD OF HARVEST. HE'S A GOD OF SEED, TIME, AND THEN HARVEST. 59:40.655 --> 59:44.945 YOU DON'T GET A PLOW IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S FIELD AND TRY TO TAKE 59:44.945 --> 59:48.965 THEIR HARVEST. YOU GOTTA PLOW YOUR OWN FIELD. THE BIBLE SAYS, 59:48.965 --> 59:57.784 "HE THAT DOESN'T WORK DOESN'T EAT." YOU KNOW? THAT'S WHY IT'S 59:57.784 --> 01:00:04.686 EVIL. BECAUSE REALLY WHAT IT IS, IS IT'S RAISING UP A BUNCH OF 01:00:04.686 --> 01:00:08.405 PEOPLE THAT ARE SELF-ENTITLED AND THINK THEY CAN THIEVE AND 01:00:08.405 --> 01:00:11.885 STEAL AND TAKE WHATEVER THEY WANT THAT THEY DIDN'T EARN. JUST 01:00:11.885 --> 01:00:14.195 BECAUSE THAT SOMEWHERE, SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, THEY 01:00:14.195 --> 01:00:23.436 FELT LIKE THEY GOT HURT AND USED AND ABUSED. WELL, MY HURT IS A 01:00:23.436 --> 01:00:27.846 WEED THAT CAN DESTROY MY HARVEST BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE 01:00:27.846 --> 01:00:29.885 CAME TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED. SO LET ME JUST 01:00:29.885 --> 01:00:33.155 PUT THAT OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT, GO OVER TO, AND HERE'S THE 01:00:33.155 --> 01:00:36.786 THING, HEBREWS 11, VERSE SIX, THIS IS A FAMILIAR VERSE TO ALL 01:00:36.786 --> 01:00:41.791 OF US, BUT IT SAYS, "IN ORDER FOR US TO PLEASE GOD," SAYS, 01:00:41.791 --> 01:00:48.061 "WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE." IMPOSSIBLE. DO YOU 01:00:48.061 --> 01:00:52.081 REALIZE YOU CANNOT PLEASE GOD? HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR 01:00:52.081 --> 01:00:56.672 SERVICE. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR ACTS. HE CARES ABOUT YOUR 01:00:56.672 --> 01:01:00.152 FAITH. AND SEE, OUR FAITH IS BUILT BECAUSE WE KNOW IN WHOM WE 01:01:00.152 --> 01:01:04.862 HAVE BELIEVED THAT HE IS ABLE, HE IS ABLE, HE'S GONNA DO WHAT 01:01:04.862 --> 01:01:08.851 HE SAID HE WOULD DO. HE IS THE GOD OF THE PROMISE. HE IS THE 01:01:08.851 --> 01:01:12.181 GOD THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. HE IS THE GOD, IF HE SAID IT, HE'S 01:01:12.181 --> 01:01:15.661 GONNA DO IT. AND SO IT SAYS, "WITHOUT FAITH, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE 01:01:15.661 --> 01:01:19.351 "TO PLEASE HIM BECAUSE HE THAT COMES TO GOD "MUST BELIEVE FIRST 01:01:19.351 --> 01:01:23.911 OF ALL THAT HE IS." AND SEE, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GET INTO A 01:01:23.911 --> 01:01:29.132 PLACE WHERE YOU'RE SAYING, OH MAN, GOD'S NOT DOING ANYTHING 01:01:29.132 --> 01:01:33.331 FOR ME, YOU'RE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF SAYING, WELL, GOD MAY 01:01:33.331 --> 01:01:37.322 NOT EXIST BECAUSE WHERE IS HE? HE CAN'T HEAR ME WHEN I'M 01:01:37.322 --> 01:01:43.112 CALLING, AND THAT IS AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF. SO WE HAVE TO 01:01:43.112 --> 01:01:47.041 BE CAREFUL. SO AND THEN IT SAYS, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT 01:01:47.041 --> 01:01:52.322 HE, NUMBER ONE, HE IS. AND IF I BELIEVE THAT HE IS, THEN I HAVE 01:01:52.322 --> 01:01:56.282 TO SEE HIS GOODNESS. IF I BELIEVE THAT HE IS, I HAVE TO 01:01:56.282 --> 01:02:00.481 SEE THAT HE WAS THE CREATOR. IF I BELIEVE THAT HE IS, I HAVE TO 01:02:00.481 --> 01:02:04.742 SEE THAT HE IS ALMIGHTY, HE IS YAHWEH, THE LORD GOD, THE ONE 01:02:04.742 --> 01:02:08.672 WHO SITS UPON THE THRONE, HE IS SEATED. AND THEN I HAVE TO 01:02:08.672 --> 01:02:11.851 BELIEVE IN HIS GOODNESS AND IT SAYS THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF 01:02:11.851 --> 01:02:18.572 THOSE THAT NOT HALF-HEARTEDLY SEEK HIM. YOU KNOW, WE HEAR SO 01:02:18.572 --> 01:02:21.692 MANY TIMES, WELL, GOD'S GONNA MEET YOU WHERE YOU'RE AT. YES, 01:02:21.692 --> 01:02:25.291 HE WILL, BECAUSE HE DOES COME RUNNING AFTER THE PRODIGAL, BUT 01:02:25.291 --> 01:02:29.461 AT SOME POINT, WE HAVE TO ADVANCE FROM BEING THE PRODIGAL 01:02:29.461 --> 01:02:33.811 AND THE HARD-HEARTED AND THE, OH GOD, FIND ME IN MY DARKNESS AND 01:02:33.811 --> 01:02:37.382 SAY, NO GOD, YOU SAID YOU REWARDED, YOU'RE GONNA REWARD ME 01:02:37.382 --> 01:02:40.532 IF I DILIGENTLY SEEK YOU, SO I'M GONNA RUN AFTER YOU, I'M GONNA 01:02:40.532 --> 01:02:44.581 PRESS HARD, I'M GONNA PRAY, I'M GONNA COME INTO YOUR PRESENCE 01:02:44.581 --> 01:02:47.641 WITH THANKSGIVING, I'M GONNA ENTER YOUR COURTS WITH PRAISE 01:02:47.641 --> 01:02:51.632 BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD, YOU ARE GOOD, YOU ARE FAITHFUL, 01:02:51.632 --> 01:02:55.231 YOU ARE KIND, YOU ARE THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO CAN STAND 01:02:55.231 --> 01:02:56.911 AGAINST THE LIVING GOD, I KNOW. 01:02:59.942 --> 01:03:02.612 AND WE KEEP PRESSING AND PRESSING. AND YOU KNOW, 01:03:02.612 --> 01:03:06.271 SOMETIMES YOUR FLESH DOESN'T ALWAYS FEEL LIKE RUNNING OUT AND 01:03:06.271 --> 01:03:13.405 SEEKING THE LORD. SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THE ALARM CLOCK GOES OFF 01:03:13.405 --> 01:03:16.532 AND YOU'RE LIKE, I COULD PRAY. OR I KINDA HAD A BAD NIGHT OF 01:03:16.532 --> 01:03:21.001 SLEEP, OR I COULD GET ANOTHER LITTLE HOUR IN HERE. I MEAN, 01:03:21.001 --> 01:03:24.422 IT'S REAL, RIGHT? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M NOT SAYING? THAT EVERY TIME 01:03:24.422 --> 01:03:27.512 YOU SLEEP IN A LITTLE BIT, GOD, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT DILIGENTLY 01:03:27.512 --> 01:03:32.911 SEEKING THE LORD. IT'S JUST THE PATTERN. SO A HEART OF UNBELIEF 01:03:32.911 --> 01:03:38.282 IS A WEED THAT'S GONNA KILL YOUR HARVEST. ALL RIGHT, THE SECOND 01:03:38.282 --> 01:03:43.501 ONE, JUST THREW MY GLASSES ON THE GROUND, IS STOP LOOKING AT 01:03:43.501 --> 01:03:51.572 THE IMPOSSIBILITY AND THE PROBLEMS. IF YOU WANT A HARVEST, 01:03:51.572 --> 01:03:54.692 BUT ALL YOU CAN SEE IS THE REASONS THAT IT SHOULDN'T COME 01:03:54.692 --> 01:04:02.041 TO PASS, THEN IT'S A WEED. AND IT'S BLOCKING YOU. LISTEN, THOSE 01:04:02.041 --> 01:04:05.791 THINGS WILL BLOCK YOU FROM SEEING YOUR HARVEST. HEBREWS 01:04:05.791 --> 01:04:09.302 CHAPTER 11, VERSE ONE SAYS THAT FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND 01:04:09.302 --> 01:04:20.851 HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. AND, OR, AND, AND IT'S, IT, OR NOT, 01:04:20.851 --> 01:04:23.461 I'M SORRY, IT DOESN'T SAY IT. IT SAYS NOW FAITH IS, I'M SORRY, 01:04:23.461 --> 01:04:27.092 I'M QUOTING THE WRONG VERSES. "NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF 01:04:27.092 --> 01:04:32.222 THINGS HOPED FOR. IT'S THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. BUT 01:04:32.222 --> 01:04:34.532 IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE WRONG THING AND YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT 01:04:34.532 --> 01:04:40.052 THE HARVEST THAT IS TO COME, THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT WEEDS. 01:04:40.052 --> 01:04:43.652 AND YOU GOTTA DIG THOSE WEEDS OUT. AND HERE'S THE THING, 01:04:43.652 --> 01:04:47.731 SOMETIMES GETTING WEEDS OUT, IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST CLIP OFF 01:04:47.731 --> 01:04:51.512 THE TOP, YOU GOTTA GET THE ROOT. YOU GOTTA GET THE ROOT OF THE 01:04:51.512 --> 01:04:57.931 WEED. BECAUSE OTHERWISE, THE ROOT OF THE WEED IS COMPETING 01:04:57.931 --> 01:05:03.391 WITH THE ROOT OF THE SEED. THAT WAS POWERFUL. WHETHER YOU 01:05:03.391 --> 01:05:04.880 THOUGHT SO OR NOT, THAT WAS POWERFUL. 01:05:08.461 --> 01:05:10.952 ALL RIGHT, SO STOP LOOKING AT ALL THE REASONS WHY IT SHOULDN'T 01:05:10.952 --> 01:05:14.612 COME TO PASS. IF YOU'RE BELIEVING FOR HEALING, YOU HAVE 01:05:14.612 --> 01:05:17.282 PAIN IN YOUR BODY, YOU HAVE SICKNESS IN YOUR BODY, OR IT WAS 01:05:19.369 --> 01:05:24.121 A DEVASTATING DIAGNOSIS. DON'T LOOK AT THE WEED, LOOK AT THE 01:05:24.121 --> 01:05:32.041 GOD THAT SAID THAT HE IS THE GOD OF OUR HEALING. THE GOD WE SANG 01:05:32.041 --> 01:05:35.402 TONIGHT, HE'S STILL ON THE THRONE. ALL RIGHT, THE THIRD 01:05:35.402 --> 01:05:42.271 WEED, COMPLAINING. LISTEN, YOUR MOUTH CAN UPROOT YOUR SEED. I, 01:05:42.271 --> 01:05:46.351 IT CAN, OKAY, TURN OVER TO JAMES CHAPTER THREE, VERSE FIVE. WE'RE 01:05:46.351 --> 01:05:49.351 GONNA READ, LISTEN, YOU KNOW, I LIKE THE BOOK OF JAMES. 'CAUSE 01:05:51.242 --> 01:05:57.422 THE BOOK OF JAMES, IT FIXES A WHOLE LOT THAT GOES ON SOMETIMES 01:05:57.422 --> 01:06:02.581 IN OUR HEART AND OUR MIND. IT SAYS, "EVEN SO, THE TONGUE IS A 01:06:02.581 --> 01:06:06.541 LITTLE MEMBER, AND IT BOASTS GREAT THINGS." HOW MANY OF YOU 01:06:06.541 --> 01:06:12.452 EVER BOASTED AND YOUR MOUTH GOT YOU IN TROUBLE? OR YOU SAID 01:06:12.452 --> 01:06:14.731 SOMETHING THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LIKE, "OH GOD, I WISH I 01:06:14.731 --> 01:06:18.422 COULD TAKE THAT BACK." AND IT SAYS, "BEHOLD, HOW GREAT A 01:06:18.422 --> 01:06:21.871 MATTER A LITTLE FIRE KINDLETH." LET'S GO ON. AND IT SAYS, "AND 01:06:21.871 --> 01:06:25.411 THE TONGUE IS A FIRE, "A WORLD OF INIQUITY." SO THE TONGUE 01:06:25.411 --> 01:06:30.331 AMONG OUR MEMBERS, THAT IT DEFILES THE WHOLE BODY. THAT'S 01:06:30.331 --> 01:06:35.431 HOW POWERFUL YOUR MOUTH IS. AND IT SAYS, "IT SETS ON FIRE THE 01:06:35.431 --> 01:06:42.692 COURSE OF NATURE, "AND IT IS SET ON FIRE OF HELL." I DON'T WANT 01:06:42.692 --> 01:06:49.532 HELL COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH. I DON'T WANT TO BE SETTING ON FIRE 01:06:49.532 --> 01:06:53.251 NATURE. YOU KNOW, LISTEN, IF YOU'RE SETTING THINGS ON FIRE, 01:06:53.251 --> 01:06:57.152 YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GETTING A HARVEST OUT OF IT. DON'T BURN 01:06:57.152 --> 01:07:02.521 YOUR CROP. "FOR EVERY KIND OF BEAST AND OF BIRDS AND SERPENTS 01:07:02.521 --> 01:07:05.192 "AND OF THINGS IN THE SEA IS TAME "AND HATH BEEN TAMED OF 01:07:05.192 --> 01:07:08.911 MANKIND." NOW THAT'S A POWERFUL WORD. BUT THE TONGUE NO MAN CAN 01:07:08.911 --> 01:07:16.621 TAME, IT'S UNRULY, EVIL, FULL OF DEADLY POISON. KEEP GOING, AND 01:07:16.621 --> 01:07:20.461 IT SAYS, THEREWITH BLESS WE GOD THE FATHER, AND THEREWITH CURSE 01:07:20.461 --> 01:07:25.621 WE MEN, WHICH ARE MADE AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF GOD. OUT OF THE 01:07:25.621 --> 01:07:28.771 SAME MOUTH PROCEEDS BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS. MY BRETHREN, THESE 01:07:28.771 --> 01:07:32.222 THINGS OUGHT NOT SO TO BE. AND IT SAYS, DOES A FOUNTAIN SEND 01:07:32.222 --> 01:07:36.271 FORTH AT THE SAME PLACE SWEET WATER AND BITTER? CAN THE FIG 01:07:36.271 --> 01:07:40.532 TREE, MY BRETHREN, BEAR OLIVE BERRIES, EITHER OF VINE FIGS, SO 01:07:40.532 --> 01:07:45.751 THAT NO FOUNTAIN CAN BOTH YIELD SALT, WATER, AND FRESH? AND IT 01:07:45.751 --> 01:07:52.862 SAYS, IF IT'S SALT WATER AND FRESH WATER, I WANT THE RIVER OF 01:07:52.862 --> 01:08:00.782 LIFE FLOWING OUT OF MY MOUTH. AMEN. SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO 01:08:00.782 --> 01:08:06.092 WATCH THE THINGS THAT WE SAY. NOW TURN OVER TO PROVERBS 01:08:06.092 --> 01:08:13.021 CHAPTER 21, VERSE 23. AND IT SAYS, "WHOSO KEEPS HIS MOUTH AND 01:08:13.021 --> 01:08:19.202 HIS TONGUE "KEEPS HIS SOUL FROM TROUBLE." WHEN WE KEEP OUR 01:08:19.202 --> 01:08:26.671 MOUTH, WE KEEP OUR SOUL. YOU KNOW, LISTEN, PASTOR TALKED 01:08:26.671 --> 01:08:31.412 ABOUT FEELINGS. FEELINGS ARE GREAT, BUT FEELINGS ARE NOT WHAT 01:08:31.412 --> 01:08:35.792 WE LIVE OUR LIFE BY. BECAUSE YOUR FEELINGS CAN BE ALL OVER 01:08:35.792 --> 01:08:43.742 THE MAP. HAPPY ON A SUNNY DAY, SAD ON A RAINY DAY. YOU HAD A 01:08:43.742 --> 01:08:46.351 BAD NIGHT'S SLEEP, AND SO YOU WOKE UP, YOU'RE KIND OF GRUMPY, 01:08:46.351 --> 01:08:52.561 AND SO NOW YOU DON'T SEE EVERYTHING THE RIGHT WAY. YOU 01:08:52.561 --> 01:08:56.162 KNOW, FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR SPOUSE. YOU'RE LIKE, OH MAN, 01:08:56.162 --> 01:08:58.952 THEY'RE THE GREATEST THING. GOT MARRIED AND SAW THAT THEY, YOU 01:08:58.952 --> 01:09:02.431 KNOW, THREW THEIR DIRTY CLOTHES ON THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF THE 01:09:02.431 --> 01:09:11.341 HAMPER. NOW YOU'RE MAD. OR THEY CHEWED TOO LOUD. SNORED, 01:09:11.341 --> 01:09:17.192 WHATEVER. NOW YOU'RE LIKE, OH MAN, THAT BLESSING ISN'T SUCH A 01:09:17.192 --> 01:09:21.992 BLESSING ANYMORE. AND SEE, WHAT'S SAD IS WE LIVE IN A VERY 01:09:21.992 --> 01:09:31.561 ME-CENTERED GENERATION. AND SPOUSES, DIVORCE, WELL, WE GREW 01:09:31.561 --> 01:09:43.742 APART. NO, YOU GOT SELFISH. YOU GOT SELFISH. YOU QUIT WALKING IN 01:09:43.742 --> 01:09:49.261 FORGIVENESS. YOU FORGOT TO BE KIND. YOU THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR OWN 01:09:49.261 --> 01:09:54.572 SELF, NOT THE NEEDS OF THE OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSE. AND 01:09:54.572 --> 01:09:57.181 LISTEN, YOU KNOW WHAT? SOMETIMES THINGS ARE GONNA GO WRONG IN 01:09:57.181 --> 01:10:01.502 LIFE. SOMETIMES THINGS AREN'T GONNA ALWAYS GO THE WAY WE 01:10:01.502 --> 01:10:05.675 THOUGHT IT SHOULD. AND BY THE WAY, THERE ARE STORMS THAT ARE 01:10:05.675 --> 01:10:09.242 IN LIFE. BUT YOU KNOW, JESUS, WHEN HE WAS ON THE EARTH, NOW 01:10:09.242 --> 01:10:11.822 SEE, HERE'S THE THING, HE WAS FULLY GOD, BUT HE WAS FULLY MAN. 01:10:11.822 --> 01:10:17.078 HE WAS FULLY GOD, AND HE HAD THE AUTHORITY OF GOD, BUT HE HAD TO 01:10:17.078 --> 01:10:26.702 OPERATE THROUGH HUMAN FLESH. SO IT CHANGED. I MEAN, HE DIDN'T 01:10:26.702 --> 01:10:30.572 COME DOWN HERE AND JUST BLOW IT ALL UP. HE CAME DOWN AND PAID 01:10:30.572 --> 01:10:34.171 THE PRICE. BUT WHAT DID JESUS DO IN THE MIDST OF THE STORMS? HE 01:10:34.171 --> 01:10:43.261 SLEPT IN THE BOAT. WE'RE LIKE, OH MY GOSH, IT'S STORMING. OH, 01:10:43.261 --> 01:10:46.981 OH JESUS, YOU FORGOT. IS GOD EVEN HEARING MY PRAYER? THERE'S 01:10:46.981 --> 01:10:52.771 A STORM. AND JESUS WAS SO FULL OF PEACE BECAUSE HE KNEW THE GOD 01:10:52.771 --> 01:10:56.221 THAT HE SERVED, AND HE WASN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO BE TAKEN OUT 01:10:56.221 --> 01:11:00.671 BECAUSE HE HAD A PURPOSE TO FULFILL. HE JUST WENT TO SLEEP. 01:11:03.641 --> 01:11:05.292 AND HE DIDN'T EVEN GET UP AND HAVE TO GO, 01:11:05.292 --> 01:11:07.501 (SPEAKING IN TONGUES) 01:11:07.501 --> 01:11:09.570 I'M GONNA SPEAK TO THIS, OR HE JUST SAID, "PEACE, BE STILL." 01:11:12.372 --> 01:11:17.801 YOU KNOW, LISTEN, IT'S OKAY TO ASK WHY, BUT DON'T STAY IN THE 01:11:17.801 --> 01:11:22.734 WHY. THE PSALMIST SOMETIMES WOULD SAY, HOW LONG WILL YOU NOT 01:11:22.734 --> 01:11:27.582 HEAR ME, OH GOD? BUT THEN WOULD TURN AROUND AND REMIND HIMSELF 01:11:27.582 --> 01:11:34.061 OF WHO GOD IS. NOW HABAKKUK 3:17, AND THIS IS A PSALM IN 01:11:34.061 --> 01:11:36.881 HABAKKUK, OR A SONG, AND IT SAYS, "ALTHOUGH THE FIG TREE 01:11:36.881 --> 01:11:39.912 SHALL NOT BLOSSOM, "NEITHER SHALL FRUIT BE IN THE VINES, 01:11:39.912 --> 01:11:42.582 "AND THE LABOR OF THE OLIVES SHALL NOT FAIL, "AND THE FIELDS 01:11:42.582 --> 01:11:45.221 SHALL YIELD NO MEAT, "AND THE FLOCKS SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM THE 01:11:45.221 --> 01:11:48.761 FOLD, "AND THERE SHALL BE NO HERD IN THE STALLS." IT SAYS, 01:11:48.761 --> 01:11:52.631 "YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, "I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY 01:11:52.631 --> 01:11:58.152 SALVATION." GO TO VERSE 19, IT SAYS, "BECAUSE THE LORD GOD IS 01:11:58.152 --> 01:12:02.561 MY STRENGTH, "AND HE WILL MAKE MY FEET LIKE HINDS FEET, "AND HE 01:12:02.561 --> 01:12:05.771 WILL MAKE ME TO WALK UPON MY HIGH PLACES." WHAT IS THE HIGH 01:12:05.771 --> 01:12:08.591 PLACES? THE MOUNTAIN THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T OVERCOME. 01:12:08.591 --> 01:12:11.112 AND THAT'S A HARVEST. WHEN YOU OVERCOME A MOUNTAIN, IT'S A 01:12:11.112 --> 01:12:18.875 HARVEST. SEE, SOMETIMES AGAIN, WE'RE BUSY LOOKING AT THE WEEDS. 01:12:20.412 --> 01:12:23.171 AND LISTEN, IF YOU GOT A WHOLE LOT OF WEEDS, THEN MAYBE, MAYBE, 01:12:23.171 --> 01:12:26.921 MAYBE YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR LOCATION SO THAT YOU CAN SEE 01:12:26.921 --> 01:12:29.771 SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA TELL YOU, IF 01:12:29.771 --> 01:12:32.051 YOU'RE HANGING AROUND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE BROKE, 01:12:32.051 --> 01:12:38.771 DEPRESSED, AND HURT AND UPSET, SOMETIMES THAT SPIRIT CAN JUMP 01:12:38.771 --> 01:12:42.761 OFF ON YOU. IF YOU WANNA BE A PROSPEROUS PERSON, HANG AROUND 01:12:42.761 --> 01:12:46.391 PEOPLE THAT TALK PROSPERITY. IF YOU WANNA BE A PROSPEROUS 01:12:46.391 --> 01:12:52.811 PERSON, BE AROUND PEOPLE THAT ARE PROSPEROUS PEOPLE. DON'T 01:12:52.811 --> 01:12:55.481 JUST GO HANG AROUND WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALWAYS NEEDING 01:12:55.481 --> 01:12:59.862 THE HANDOUTS ALL THE TIME. AND LISTEN, IT'S NOTHING, WE NEED TO 01:12:59.862 --> 01:13:04.002 BE GIVERS. WE NEED TO GIVE TO THE POOR. THE BIBLE COMMANDS 01:13:04.002 --> 01:13:08.742 THAT WE GIVE TO THE POOR. BUT IF YOU WANNA BE A PERSON THAT'S A 01:13:08.742 --> 01:13:15.881 PERSON OF PROSPERITY, DON'T HANG AROUND TRASHY MOUTH, OKAY? AND 01:13:15.881 --> 01:13:18.909 LISTEN, IF YOU'VE MADE SOME POOR CHOICES, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE 01:13:18.909 --> 01:13:23.502 MADE SOME POOR CHOICES IN YOUR LIFE? OKAY, WE'VE ALL DONE IT. 01:13:23.502 --> 01:13:26.561 IT'S LIKE IT'S A PART OF GROWING UP. YOU'RE LIKE, MAN, IF I COULD 01:13:26.561 --> 01:13:32.591 TAKE, THAT WAS STUPID. IT'S JUST DUMB. JAMES 1:5 SAYS THAT IF ANY 01:13:32.591 --> 01:13:36.311 OF US LACK WISDOM TO ASK OF GOD WHO GIVES TO ALL MEN LIBERALLY, 01:13:36.311 --> 01:13:40.811 AND THAT WORD ABRADETH SAYS THAT HE DOESN'T FIND FAULT WITH US. 01:13:40.811 --> 01:13:45.341 HE'S NOT THERE TO BLOW US UP 'CAUSE WE MESSED UP. HE'S THERE 01:13:45.341 --> 01:13:50.952 TO GET US OUT OF IT. BUT LISTEN, SOME OF OUR POOR CHOICES, WE'VE 01:13:50.952 --> 01:13:55.692 MADE, YOU KNOW, DEBT. YOU KNOW, DEBT SOMETIMES, IT'S A POOR 01:13:55.692 --> 01:13:58.782 CHOICE, AND THEN YOU FIND YOURSELF, YOU KNOW, DUG INTO 01:13:58.782 --> 01:14:01.421 DEBT, AND SOMETIMES IT'S A CHOICE, AND THEN SOMETIMES IT'S 01:14:01.421 --> 01:14:05.051 BEEN BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A SPIRIT TRACKING YOU. SO MAKE 01:14:05.051 --> 01:14:08.712 SURE YOU SPEAK TO THAT. AND JUST 'CAUSE YOU MADE THE POOR CHOICE, 01:14:08.712 --> 01:14:12.402 THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE BOUND FOREVER TO LIVE LIKE THAT. YOU 01:14:12.402 --> 01:14:18.731 NEED TO START SPEAKING TO THE THING AND SAY, DEBT, THAT BURDEN 01:14:18.731 --> 01:14:22.931 OF DEBT, GET OFF MY BACK IN JESUS' NAME. THE OTHER ONE 01:14:22.931 --> 01:14:27.792 THAT'S A POOR CHOICE IS LACK OF HONOR. YOU KNOW, WHEN GOD TALKED 01:14:27.792 --> 01:14:34.962 ABOUT THE TITHE, IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS A POINT OF HONOR. AND 01:14:34.962 --> 01:14:38.502 SEE, WE LIVE IN A CULTURE THAT DOESN'T WANNA HONOR ANYTHING. 01:14:38.502 --> 01:14:40.122 THEY DON'T WANNA HONOR AUTHORITY. THEY DON'T WANNA 01:14:40.122 --> 01:14:45.011 HONOR WHAT ANYBODY ELSE IS OWED. I WATCHED THIS THING ON 01:14:46.421 --> 01:14:51.971 INSTAGRAM AND THIS LADY WALKED INTO A STORE, HELPED HERSELF 01:14:51.971 --> 01:14:54.731 WITH STUFF AND WALKED OUT. AND WHEN THEY WERE CHASING HER DOWN, 01:14:54.731 --> 01:14:56.921 SHE WAS LIKE, "NO, YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO THIS IS MY 01:14:56.921 --> 01:15:00.402 STUFF." NO, IT ISN'T YOUR STUFF, YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR IT. YOU'RE 01:15:00.402 --> 01:15:09.221 STEALING. BUT IT WAS ENTITLED AND READY TO THROW HANDS TO 01:15:09.221 --> 01:15:17.771 STEAL. SEE, IT'S MESSED UP THINKING. AND IT'S A LACK OF 01:15:17.771 --> 01:15:22.212 HONOR. IT'S HONORABLE THAT YOU DON'T WALK INTO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S 01:15:22.212 --> 01:15:29.021 HOUSE AND WALK OUT WITH THEIR TV. OKAY. ANOTHER ONE IS BE 01:15:29.021 --> 01:15:35.681 TEACHABLE. PROVERBS 24, THREE THROUGH FOUR SAYS, "THROUGH 01:15:35.681 --> 01:15:40.962 WISDOM IS A HOUSE BUILT, "AND BY UNDERSTANDING IT'S ESTABLISHED, 01:15:40.962 --> 01:15:44.421 "AND BY KNOWLEDGE SHALL THY CHAMBERS, "BY KNOWLEDGE SHALL 01:15:44.421 --> 01:15:48.761 YOUR CHAMBERS BE FILLED "WITH ALL PRECIOUS AND PLEASANT 01:15:48.761 --> 01:15:55.269 RICHES." IF YOU WANNA HARVEST, BE A PERSON THAT HAS HONOR IN 01:15:55.269 --> 01:15:58.514 YOUR HEART. MATTER OF FACT, OVER IN EPHESIANS CHAPTER SIX, VERSE 01:15:58.514 --> 01:16:02.141 TWO, IT SAYS, "HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER," WHICH IS THE FIRST 01:16:02.141 --> 01:16:09.282 COMMANDMENT WITH PROMISE, "THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU." YOU 01:16:09.282 --> 01:16:16.212 KNOW? WE DON'T WANNA, WE DON'T LIKE BEING A PERSON OF HONOR. 01:16:16.212 --> 01:16:19.421 AND YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE THING, LISTEN. I'M GONNA SAY THIS TOO, 01:16:19.421 --> 01:16:23.532 TO SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE OLDER, YOU KNOW, PARENTS, YOU'RE ADULTS 01:16:23.532 --> 01:16:28.002 NOW. EVEN IF YOUR PARENTS TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE, 01:16:28.002 --> 01:16:32.051 SOMETIMES, AND YOU'RE OLDER, AND YOU KNOW, AND YOU'RE PAYING YOUR 01:16:32.051 --> 01:16:35.381 OWN BILLS WITH YOUR OWN KIDS AND YOUR OWN HOUSE AND YOUR OWN CAR, 01:16:35.381 --> 01:16:40.271 AND THEY TRY TO GIVE YOU A PIECE OF WISDOM, SOMETIMES JUST 01:16:40.271 --> 01:16:43.962 RECEIVE IT AND LET THE SEED GROW AND DECIDE IF THAT'S THE WAY 01:16:43.962 --> 01:16:47.652 THAT YOU'RE GONNA GO. WE'RE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, NOBODY CAN 01:16:47.652 --> 01:16:53.981 TELL ME WHAT TO DO. NOBODY CAN SAY ANYTHING TO ME, 'CAUSE I 01:16:53.981 --> 01:17:01.212 KNOW. I'M GROWN, I HAVE A COLLEGE EDUCATION. A COLLEGE 01:17:01.212 --> 01:17:03.521 EDUCATION DID NEVER HAND OUT COMMON SENSE, I'LL TELL YOU 01:17:03.521 --> 01:17:13.091 THAT. THAT'S FREE. IT TURNED OUT A WHOLE LOT OF UNTEACHABLE, 01:17:13.091 --> 01:17:20.051 UNREASONABLE, STUPID PEOPLE. NO, SERIOUSLY. MOST OF THE COLLEGE 01:17:20.051 --> 01:17:22.061 DEGREES THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW AREN'T EVEN WORTH THE PAPER 01:17:22.061 --> 01:17:27.971 THEY'RE WRITTEN ON. AND PEOPLE COME OUT WITH COLLEGE DEBT AND 01:17:27.971 --> 01:17:34.391 NO JOB. BETTER OFF TO GO BE AN ELECTRICIAN OR A PLUMBER OR 01:17:34.391 --> 01:17:39.851 SOMETHING ELSE AND START GETTING MONEY IN THE DOOR. NOW IF YOU 01:17:39.851 --> 01:17:50.261 WANT TO BE A DOCTOR, PLEASE GO TO COLLEGE. AMEN? THE OTHER WEED 01:17:50.261 --> 01:17:55.662 IS THE DEVIL AND SIN. LISTEN, SIN, WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT 01:17:55.662 --> 01:17:59.292 SIN, WHEN IT'S CONCEIVED, OR WHEN IT'S FULLY GROWN, IT BRINGS 01:17:59.292 --> 01:18:03.582 FORTH DEATH. SO DON'T BE A PERSON THAT DABBLES IN SIN ALL 01:18:03.582 --> 01:18:06.881 THE TIME, THAT HAS TO DABBLE IN THE WORLD ALL THE TIME, DO A 01:18:06.881 --> 01:18:09.551 LITTLE FEW THINGS ON THE SIDE, AND OH GOD, FORGIVE ME. I MEAN, 01:18:09.551 --> 01:18:14.801 YES, HE DOES FORGIVE US WHEN WE MESS UP, BUT DON'T KEEP PLAYING 01:18:14.801 --> 01:18:17.231 AND DOING THE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW YOU OUGHT NOT BE DOING, THE 01:18:17.231 --> 01:18:19.212 THINGS YOU OUGHT NOT BE WATCHING, THE PEOPLE YOU OUGHT 01:18:19.212 --> 01:18:21.702 NOT BE TALKING TO, THE PEOPLE YOU OUGHT NOT BE HANGING OUT 01:18:21.702 --> 01:18:24.971 WITH, LETTING YOUR EYES ROVE AROUND WHEN YOU GO TO THE GYM. 01:18:28.002 --> 01:18:32.021 SERIOUSLY, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THINGS THAT STEAL OUR 01:18:32.021 --> 01:18:36.881 HARVEST. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WONDER, WELL, I SOWED SEED. THE 01:18:36.881 --> 01:18:41.351 PRINCIPLE IS I SOW THE SEED, AND THEN, BUT THERE'S WEEDS COMING 01:18:41.351 --> 01:18:44.921 UP, AND YOU'RE NOT DEALING WITH THE WEEDS. YOU'RE LETTING SIN 01:18:44.921 --> 01:18:47.385 COME IN. AND THEN, AND THAT'S THE OTHER THING. THE OTHER ONE'S 01:18:47.385 --> 01:18:51.252 THE DEVIL IS PART OF THAT. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR 01:18:51.252 --> 01:18:56.891 THOUGHTS ARE BEING BOMBARDED, THAT SOMETHING'S NOT ABOUT TO 01:18:56.891 --> 01:19:00.072 CHANGE, IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO SAY THIS TIME TOMORROW, THINGS 01:19:00.072 --> 01:19:02.622 ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE, AND YOUR THOUGHTS ARE BEING BOMBARDED, 01:19:02.622 --> 01:19:04.872 SAYING IT'S GETTING WORSE, IT'S GETTING BAD, YOU'RE FALLING 01:19:04.872 --> 01:19:07.181 RIGHT INTO THE DEVIL'S PLAYBOOK. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE LIBERAL 01:19:07.181 --> 01:19:09.462 MEDIA IS OUT THERE DOING? THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE US 01:19:09.462 --> 01:19:13.811 BELIEVE THAT GOD IS NOT MOVING IN THE NATION OF AMERICA. THEY 01:19:13.811 --> 01:19:16.572 WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT SPRINGING 01:19:16.572 --> 01:19:19.572 FORTH. THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA BE A 01:19:19.572 --> 01:19:23.412 PROSPEROUS NATION ANYMORE. THEY KEEP SAYING, OH, THE EVIL, 01:19:23.412 --> 01:19:26.801 YOU'RE STANDING ON STOLEN LAND. OH, SHUT UP. 01:19:33.341 --> 01:19:38.231 YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA SAY SHUT UP. YOU GOTTA 01:19:38.231 --> 01:19:44.652 TAKE AUTHORITY OVER THE DEVIL. I SAW A THING, THEY JUST HAD 01:19:44.652 --> 01:19:47.532 SOUTHWEST BELIEVERS, AND YOU KNOW, BROTHER COPELAND, HE'S 01:19:47.532 --> 01:19:50.801 BEEN DEALING WITH SOME PAIN IN HIS BODY, AND SO HE SAT DOWN TO 01:19:50.801 --> 01:19:54.761 PREACH. KEPT PREACHING THOUGH, HE'S NOT QUITTING, KEPT 01:19:54.761 --> 01:19:57.702 PREACHING. PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE GOING, OH LOOK, HE'S SITTING 01:19:57.702 --> 01:20:00.311 DOWN. OH MAN, HIS FAITH'S NOT WORKING, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. AH, 01:20:00.311 --> 01:20:10.931 SHUT UP. LISTEN, PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ARE A WEED. DON'T QUIT 01:20:10.931 --> 01:20:14.981 BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S, YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEBODY'S OPINION. DON'T 01:20:14.981 --> 01:20:18.162 STOP BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING NEGATIVE. WELL, YOU 01:20:18.162 --> 01:20:21.072 KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE GOTTEN CALLED FAT ON THE INTERNET? 01:20:22.181 --> 01:20:31.359 WELL, SHUT UP. MY BODY ISN'T ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS. AND YOU DON'T 01:20:31.359 --> 01:20:33.912 KNOW WHAT I DEAL WITH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DEAL WITH. AND YOU 01:20:33.912 --> 01:20:36.671 KNOW WHAT? I DON'T CARE. ARE WE PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM? ARE 01:20:36.671 --> 01:20:38.502 WE PRESSING IN FOR A HARVEST? 01:20:43.332 --> 01:20:50.261 WELL, YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST. WELL, SHUT UP. WE 01:20:50.261 --> 01:20:55.845 NEED TO GET HOLD OF THE WORD SHUT UP. AND WE NEED TO SAY IT 01:20:55.845 --> 01:20:59.412 TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE. AND THE RIGHT THINGS AND THE RIGHT 01:20:59.412 --> 01:21:04.391 DEMONS. YOU KNOW, LISTEN, I FOUND IT FUNNY WHEN THE LIBERAL 01:21:04.391 --> 01:21:09.131 MEDIA HAS A NARRATIVE, YOU CAN GO TO EVERY OUTLET AND THEY HAVE 01:21:09.131 --> 01:21:16.447 THE SAME TALKING POINT VERBATIM. BECAUSE IT'S SCRIPTED. 'CAUSE 01:21:16.447 --> 01:21:18.846 YOU KNOW, AND SEE, THAT'S THE THING. WE FALL FOR THE DEVIL'S 01:21:18.846 --> 01:21:23.228 LIES BECAUSE HE SAYS IT TO US OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, 01:21:23.228 --> 01:21:25.898 AND WE DON'T PLUCK UP THE WEED. WE SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WELL, I'M 01:21:25.898 --> 01:21:29.167 NOT ENOUGH. I'M NOT DOING ENOUGH. I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH. AND 01:21:29.167 --> 01:21:32.828 WE FORGET THAT IT SAYS THAT I WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF 01:21:32.828 --> 01:21:38.467 ALMIGHTY GOD, THAT THROUGH JESUS, I CAN DO ALL THINGS. WE 01:21:38.467 --> 01:21:42.608 SANG IT TONIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE POWER THAT IS ON THE INSIDE OF 01:21:42.608 --> 01:21:46.328 ME, I HAVE THE POWER TO WALK IN FREEDOM. I HAVE THE POWER TO 01:21:46.328 --> 01:21:50.858 WALK IN AUTHORITY. I HAVE THE POWER TO COMMAND MY ATMOSPHERE. 01:21:52.328 --> 01:21:54.457 BY THE WAY, PASTOR BRENDA'S BOOK, COMMANDING PEACE IS COMING 01:21:54.457 --> 01:21:59.648 OUT. YOU BETTER GET A HOLD OF IT, IT'S A GOOD ONE. ALL RIGHT, 01:21:59.648 --> 01:22:08.377 I GOTTA HURRY, 'CAUSE I'M ALMOST OUT OF TIME. NUMBER FOUR. YOU 01:22:08.377 --> 01:22:15.127 GOTTA WATER. YOUR PLANTS DON'T GROW IF YOU DON'T WATER THEM. BY 01:22:15.127 --> 01:22:17.346 THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW IT'S SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THAT IF 01:22:17.346 --> 01:22:24.398 YOU SPEAK TO A GROWING PLANT, IT'S GONNA GROW BETTER THAN THE 01:22:24.398 --> 01:22:28.507 ONE THAT YOU JUST LEAVE ALONE? BECAUSE THERE'S POWER IN OUR 01:22:28.507 --> 01:22:45.653 WORDS. THERE'S POWER IN OUR WORDS. AND IF A PLANT CAN GROW 01:22:46.867 --> 01:22:49.328 BECAUSE WE SPEAK TO IT, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE SPEAK TO THE 01:22:49.328 --> 01:22:54.367 SEEDS THAT WE'VE SOWN? AND WE SPEAK TO THEM FAVORABLY, WE 01:22:54.367 --> 01:23:00.157 SPEAK FAITH. TURN OVER TO ROMANS CHAPTER FOUR, VERSE 17. AND IT 01:23:00.157 --> 01:23:03.096 SAYS, "AS IT IS WRITTEN, "I HAVE MADE THEE A FATHER OF MANY 01:23:03.096 --> 01:23:09.337 NATIONS." AND BY THE WAY, WHEN ABRAM, BEFORE HE BECAME ABRAHAM, 01:23:09.337 --> 01:23:12.426 WENT UP AND HE WAS BARREN AND DESOLATE, IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE 01:23:12.426 --> 01:23:16.507 ANYTHING WAS GONNA CHANGE. DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THERE WAS A 01:23:16.507 --> 01:23:21.217 HARVEST COMING. AND IT SAYS, "BEFORE HIM WHOM HE BELIEVED, 01:23:21.217 --> 01:23:24.636 "EVEN GOD WHO QUICKENS THE DEAD AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS "WHICH 01:23:24.636 --> 01:23:30.217 BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE." ABRAHAM WENT AROUND CALLING 01:23:30.217 --> 01:23:33.096 HIMSELF ABRAHAM, WHICH MEANS THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, AND HE 01:23:33.096 --> 01:23:39.278 HAD ZERO CHILDREN. DON'T TELL ME PEOPLE DIDN'T LAUGH AT HIM. THEY 01:23:39.278 --> 01:23:41.849 LAUGHED AT NOAH, BUT SOMETIMES WE JUST GOTTA BE, "AH, SHUT UP." 01:23:43.087 --> 01:23:46.657 THAT'S GONNA BE YOUR TAKEAWAY, IS JUST SHUT UP. I'M GONNA WALK 01:23:46.657 --> 01:23:52.957 INTO MY HARVEST SEASON. 'CAUSE WE LET SO MANY VOICES COME INTO 01:23:52.957 --> 01:23:59.797 OUR HEAD. OKAY? AND HERE'S THE THING, THE OTHER WAY THAT WE 01:23:59.797 --> 01:24:03.307 WATER IS WITH THE WORD OF GOD. DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT 01:24:03.307 --> 01:24:06.399 THE WORD OF GOD IS A LIVING THING, IT'S QUICK AND A POWERFUL 01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:08.707 AND IT DIVIDES US UNDER THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT, THE JOINTS AND 01:24:08.707 --> 01:24:11.318 THE MARROW. IF YOU READ YOUR BIBLE IN THE MORNING BEFORE YOU 01:24:11.318 --> 01:24:13.747 GET STARTED, I PROMISE YOU IT'S GONNA FIX YOUR MOTIVATION. 01:24:16.117 --> 01:24:18.667 SOMETIMES WHEN I GET UP TO GO CLEAN AND DO THE THINGS AROUND 01:24:18.667 --> 01:24:21.188 THE HOUSE, AND I'M LIKE, "IF I HAVEN'T READ MY BIBLE, "MY 01:24:21.188 --> 01:24:25.154 MOTIVATION IS KINDA, EH." I GO READ THE BIBLE, AND SUDDENLY I'M 01:24:25.154 --> 01:24:30.037 LIKE, "WOOHOO, LET'S GO!" AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO READ 01:24:30.037 --> 01:24:33.398 ANYTHING ABOUT, "MY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE," OR ANY 01:24:33.398 --> 01:24:36.787 ENERGIZING SCRIPTURES. I JUST READ SOMETHING, AND SOMETHING 01:24:36.787 --> 01:24:39.367 STARTS HAPPENING IN YOUR PHYSICAL BODY. IT STARTS 01:24:39.367 --> 01:24:43.148 CHANGING. NEUROSCIENCE IS PROVING THE FACT THAT THE WORD 01:24:43.148 --> 01:24:49.717 OF GOD CHANGES YOUR MIND. IT AFFECTS YOUR MIND. SO WATER YOUR 01:24:49.717 --> 01:24:53.648 SEEDS. OKAY, THE OTHER WAY WE WATER OUR SEEDS IS THROUGH 01:24:53.648 --> 01:25:04.447 PRAYER. PRAY PRAYERS OF FAITH. AND BY THE WAY, ANOTHER BIG WAY 01:25:04.447 --> 01:25:12.127 TO WATER SEEDS IS THANKFULNESS. WE HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY AT OUR 01:25:12.127 --> 01:25:14.858 HOUSE. THE FIRST ONE WE REALLY HAD ANY, WHERE MY KIDS HAD 01:25:14.858 --> 01:25:22.202 FRIENDS OVER. WE'RE NOT THE MOST SOCIAL OF PEOPLE. AND, YOU KNOW, 01:25:22.202 --> 01:25:24.697 I MEAN, I GREW UP THAT WAY. WE GREW UP IN THE MILITARY. THERE 01:25:24.697 --> 01:25:28.358 WAS JUST ALWAYS THE FOUR OF US. SO, YOU KNOW, WE MOVED FROM 01:25:28.358 --> 01:25:30.636 PLACE TO PLACE. YOU HAD FRIENDS, THEN YOU LEFT, AND YOU'RE LIKE, 01:25:30.636 --> 01:25:33.337 SEE YA. AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THE INTERNET BACK THEN, YOU KNOW, 01:25:33.337 --> 01:25:35.287 WHERE YOU COULD KEEP UP WITH THEM BY FACEBOOK OR SOMETHING 01:25:35.287 --> 01:25:39.547 LIKE THAT. YOU HAD TO TAKE TIME TO WRITE LETTERS. AND YOU KNOW, 01:25:39.547 --> 01:25:45.757 AFTER A WHILE, YOU GROW AND YOU FORGET ABOUT WRITING THE LETTER 01:25:45.757 --> 01:25:50.346 TO SOMEBODY THAT YOU ONLY KNEW FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SO IT WAS 01:25:50.346 --> 01:25:54.217 ALWAYS US FOUR. AND WE MOVED AROUND. SO THAT'S HOW, WE SPENT 01:25:54.217 --> 01:25:59.978 CHRISTMAS AS US FOUR AND US FOUR ONLY. 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, PEOPLE 01:25:59.978 --> 01:26:07.898 CAN'T ALWAYS FLY TO GUAM. FLY TO ITALY. YOU KNOW, IT'S EXPENSIVE. 01:26:07.898 --> 01:26:10.117 AND BACK THEN WE USED TO HAVE TO PAY FOR LONG DISTANCE AND THAT 01:26:10.117 --> 01:26:15.096 WAS EXPENSIVE TOO. SO, YOU KNOW. BUT WE HAD SOME FRIENDS OVER 01:26:15.096 --> 01:26:20.257 AND, AND SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, JUST BEING THANKFUL FOR THE 01:26:20.257 --> 01:26:23.528 LITTLE THINGS. AND WE HAD PUT A LOT OF MONEY OUT FOR FOOD AND 01:26:23.528 --> 01:26:26.617 DRINKS AND ALL THE THINGS, 'CAUSE WE WANTED, IT WAS HER 01:26:26.617 --> 01:26:30.157 16TH BIRTHDAY AND WE WANTED HER TO HAVE A SPECIAL AND FUN TIME. 01:26:30.157 --> 01:26:39.457 AND WE ORDERED PROBABLY NOT VERY GOOD FOR YOU COOKIES THAT WERE 01:26:39.457 --> 01:26:43.268 LIKE FIVE BUCKS A COOKIE. THEY'RE GOOD COOKIES, THEY'RE 01:26:43.268 --> 01:26:46.148 TOO SWEET FOR ME, BUT DIRTY DOUGH, MY DAUGHTER LOVES DIRTY 01:26:46.148 --> 01:26:51.667 DOUGH COOKIES. AND THE COOKIES ARE LIKE A LITTLE MINI CAKE. YOU 01:26:51.667 --> 01:26:57.337 KNOW, THEY'RE ABOUT THIS THICK, THAT BIG AROUND. AND SO WE GOT 01:26:57.337 --> 01:27:02.858 THOSE. AND SO I SENT MY HUSBAND TO THE STORE TO GET SOME BAGS OF 01:27:02.858 --> 01:27:06.787 ICE, 'CAUSE THEY WANTED TO DO, YOU KNOW, MAKE ICEES AND ALL THE 01:27:06.787 --> 01:27:09.818 THINGS, AND WE JUST, WE NEEDED SOME ICE. SO HE GOES TO THE 01:27:09.818 --> 01:27:13.778 STORE AND HE PULLS UP AND THERE'S THE ICE TRUCK THERE. 01:27:13.778 --> 01:27:16.568 THEY'RE GETTING READY TO LOAD THE ICE. AND MY HUSBAND WALKS UP 01:27:16.568 --> 01:27:19.747 AND SAYS, "HEY," HE GOES, "I'LL GRAB A COUPLE BAGS. "I NEED TO 01:27:19.747 --> 01:27:24.787 GO, I'M GONNA GO IN AND PAY FOR 'EM. "I NEED SOME ICE." AND I 01:27:24.787 --> 01:27:28.478 GOES, "OH NO." HE GOES, "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ICE WE THROW AWAY? 01:27:28.478 --> 01:27:32.768 "I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU THESE BAGS OF ICE." AND HE DIDN'T GIVE 01:27:32.768 --> 01:27:36.877 HIM THE SMALL BAG. HE GOES, "YOU WANT THE BIG BAGS?" MY HUSBAND'S 01:27:36.877 --> 01:27:41.886 LIKE, "WELL, SURE. "I'LL TAKE THE BIG BAGS. "WE MIGHT STILL 01:27:41.886 --> 01:27:47.467 HAVE ICE IN THE FREEZER." AND I JUST SAID, "WELL, GOD, THANK 01:27:47.467 --> 01:27:51.728 YOU." SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR SMALL BLESSINGS, 01:27:51.728 --> 01:28:01.596 GOD GIVES YOU BIGGER BLESSINGS. AMEN? ALL RIGHT. THE LAST ONE IS 01:28:01.596 --> 01:28:06.547 WAIT. NOW THAT'S THE ONE WE DON'T LIKE IN OUR HARVEST TIME. 01:28:08.018 --> 01:28:14.557 AND LISTEN, WAITING MIGHT SEEM LIKE IT'S THE HARDEST PART, BUT 01:28:14.557 --> 01:28:19.537 IT'S SHORTENED WHEN WE PREPARE OUR BARNS. WHEN YOU'RE IN THE 01:28:19.537 --> 01:28:26.041 SEASON OF WAITING, BUILD A BARN. BECAUSE WHAT THAT'S SAYING IS, 01:28:26.041 --> 01:28:30.217 IS I HAVE EXPECTATION FOR A HARVEST. WHEN WE WERE BELIEVING 01:28:30.217 --> 01:28:33.457 GOD FOR CHILDREN, AND AGAIN, NOTHING, AND YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD 01:28:33.457 --> 01:28:36.217 ME TELL THE STORY, NOTHING WAS CHANGING. MARILYN HICKEY WAS 01:28:36.217 --> 01:28:40.507 HERE ONE DAY, AND THEY WERE SELLING THESE BABY BLANKETS. AND 01:28:40.507 --> 01:28:42.756 MY MOM WAS HERE, AND SHE RAN OUT, SHE GOES, "I'M BUYING A 01:28:42.756 --> 01:28:45.547 BABY BLANKET, "AND I'M GIVING IT TO THEM." AND SHE GOES, "YOU 01:28:45.547 --> 01:28:48.337 GUYS ARE GONNA USE THAT "AS A POINT OF CONTACT, "AND YOU'RE 01:28:48.337 --> 01:28:53.768 GONNA PRAY OVER THAT BABY BLANKET "UNTIL WE SEE THE FRUIT 01:28:53.768 --> 01:28:57.033 OF WHAT WE'RE PRAYING FOR." WE STILL HAVE THAT BABY BLANKET. 01:29:00.307 --> 01:29:05.557 BECAUSE WHAT WERE WE DOING? WE WERE BUILDING A BARN. WE WERE 01:29:05.557 --> 01:29:13.057 BUILDING A PLACE. AND SO WE STARTED JUST PREPPING OUR FAITH 01:29:13.057 --> 01:29:19.926 FOR THAT. AMEN? TURN OVER TO PROVERBS 3, CHAPTER 9 AND 10, 01:29:19.926 --> 01:29:26.287 AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN STAND TO YOUR FEET. AND IT SAYS, "HONOR 01:29:26.287 --> 01:29:29.377 THE LORD WITH YOUR SUBSTANCE "AND THE FIRSTFRUITS OF ALL YOUR 01:29:29.377 --> 01:29:33.247 INCREASE." GO TO VERSE 10, AND IT SAYS, "SO SHALL THY BARNS BE 01:29:33.247 --> 01:29:35.648 FILLED WITH PLENTY "AND THY PRESSES SHALL BURST OUT WITH NEW 01:29:35.648 --> 01:29:43.657 WINE." SEE, IN THE WAITING IS WHERE WE WATER, WE WEED, WE 01:29:43.657 --> 01:29:47.676 PREPARE, AND IF WE DO THOSE THINGS, YOU KNOW THAT'S GONNA 01:29:47.676 --> 01:29:54.217 HELP SHORTEN YOUR HARVEST TIME. BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE PURSUING A 01:29:54.217 --> 01:29:59.497 HARVEST, WE HAVE TO BE ACTIVE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING. INSTEAD 01:29:59.497 --> 01:30:02.438 OF JUST SAYING, OH, I'M JUST GONNA STAND HERE TILL IT FALLS 01:30:02.438 --> 01:30:09.578 IN MY LAP. NO, PROPHESY TO IT, SPEAK TO IT, DECREE. SAY, MY 01:30:09.578 --> 01:30:14.797 HARVEST IS COMING BECAUSE GOD SAID, I PLANTED, I'VE PLOWED, 01:30:14.797 --> 01:30:17.676 I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I KNOW TO DO, AND IT'S UP TO GOD TO 01:30:17.676 --> 01:30:20.858 SUPPLY. BUT YOU KNOW, AND HERE'S THE THING, WHEN WE STAY IN 01:30:20.858 --> 01:30:27.068 FAITH, YOU KNOW, GOD IS GONNA ANSWER US. HE'S GONNA DO WHAT HE 01:30:27.068 --> 01:30:29.917 SAID HE WOULD DO, AND WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE A HARVEST. AND 01:30:29.917 --> 01:30:32.886 HERE'S THE THING, I AM TELLING YOU, WE ARE GETTING READY AS THE 01:30:32.886 --> 01:30:38.078 BODY OF CHRIST, IF WE REMAIN FAITHFUL, TO SEE THE WINDOWS OF 01:30:38.078 --> 01:30:41.768 HEAVEN OPEN LIKE WE'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE. AND SOMETIMES 01:30:41.768 --> 01:30:45.787 WE'VE SEEN THE TRICKLE. BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S A REASON THAT 01:30:46.837 --> 01:30:51.337 ELIJAH SAID, "I HEAR THE SOUND OF AN ABUNDANT RAIN." AND IF 01:30:51.337 --> 01:30:55.117 YOU'RE NOT HEARING THE SOUND OF AN ABUNDANT RAIN, MAY I SUGGEST, 01:30:55.117 --> 01:31:00.426 CHANGE WHAT YOU'RE LISTENING TO. STOP LISTENING TO ALL THE 01:31:00.426 --> 01:31:05.587 NEGATIVE. STOP LISTENING TO ALL THE NAYSAYERS. STOP LISTENING TO 01:31:05.587 --> 01:31:09.247 THE ONES THAT SAY YOU CAN'T, YOU WON'T, YOU'RE NOT THIS, YOU'RE 01:31:09.247 --> 01:31:19.096 NOT THAT, SHUT UP. I LEAN MY EAR INTO THE VOICE OF MY KING. I 01:31:19.096 --> 01:31:22.967 PRESS TO THE MARK OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD. I KNOW THAT HE 01:31:22.967 --> 01:31:26.087 IS A REWARDER OF THOSE THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM, SO I'M 01:31:26.087 --> 01:31:28.757 GONNA CONTINUE SEEKING, I'M GONNA KEEP PRESSING. I'M NOT 01:31:28.757 --> 01:31:32.087 GONNA CHANGE MY STANCE, I'M NOT GONNA GET MOVED WHEN IT LOOKS 01:31:32.087 --> 01:31:37.608 LIKE THEY'RE SAYING THE OPPOSITE. AMEN? AMEN, WELL DID 01:31:37.608 --> 01:31:39.018 THAT HELP ANYBODY TONIGHT? 01:31:39.018 --> 01:31:40.600 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:44.297 ALL RIGHT, WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE READY 'CAUSE I KNOW WE GOT 01:31:44.297 --> 01:31:49.037 PASTOR HANK COMING ON SUNDAY AND HE'S ALWAYS READY AND LOADED AND 01:31:49.037 --> 01:31:52.247 WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE A GOOD AND AN AMAZING WORD.
