  1. Hallelujah.

  2. Oh, shaka bundi. All right. Amen. It's

  3. always a shaka bundi when the Lord's in

  4. the house. Amen.

  5. >> And just so grateful once again. We've

  6. been traveling a lot. We've been at

  7. Myrtle Beach a lot. And uh thank God for

  8. what he's doing. He is building his

  9. church. And he is building his church.

  10. Unless the Lord builds the house, we

  11. labor in vain. and uh Psalm 127,

  12. including families, our house, our local

  13. household. You know, under the Jewish

  14. Hebrew mindset, the home was more sacred

  15. than the temple. And so, we need to be

  16. looking the father's blessing. May the

  17. quiver, that's five arrows, be full of

  18. them. The children are the heritage of

  19. the Lord and the gift of God. And uh he

  20. wants our houses to be blessed. Would

  21. you say blessed with heaven's best? God

  22. doesn't do half measures. Paul said, "I

  23. come in the blessings in the fullness of

  24. the blessings of the gospel of Christ."

  25. Paul understood the blessing of the

  26. Lord. And uh today we're going to speak

  27. on that blessing, the blessing of the

  28. Lord that makes rich. Uh Proverbs 10:22,

    Proverbs 10:22

  29. the blessing of the Lord makes rich and

  30. adds no sorrow. So when we talk about

  31. the blessing of the Lord is something to

  32. be coveted. It's something precious as

  33. we'll see today. It's something that

  34. cost Jesus his blood and it's something

  35. that God's called you to walk in.

  36. Hallelujah. And so I want you to look at

  37. Galatians. I'm going to try and go

  38. slowly today. Otherwise I get into, you

  39. know, teachers explain, preachers

  40. proclaim. So let me start by maybe Jesus

  41. went around teaching and preaching and

  42. healing. And by the way, if you have any

  43. metal in your body, any operations

  44. you've had metal in your body, God does

  45. unusual miracles. He did unusual

  46. miracles by the hands of Paul. If you're

  47. blind in one or other eye or both eyes,

  48. hallelujah. Jesus is in the place and

  49. his anointing is upon us. We thank you,

  50. Father, that you have anointed us to

  51. preach the gospel to the poor. sent us

  52. to preach deliverance to the captives,

  53. recovery of sight to the blind, to set

  54. at liberty those that are bruised. Lord,

  55. we thank you to preach the jubilee year

  56. of the Lord, to bring your people into

  57. their inheritance, that Lord, they may

  58. be more than conquerors. We thank you

  59. that if you were for us, there's none

  60. that can be against us. Who is it that

  61. condemns? It is Christ that died, Lord,

  62. that is even at the right hand of the

  63. father today praying for us. And so

  64. Lord, I take authority over every demon

  65. spirit in the name of Jesus Christ of

  66. Nazareth. I cancel your assignments in

  67. Jesus' name and I release the power of

  68. the blood of Jesus. Angels just attend

  69. to your the word today. We thank you

  70. that you are ministering spirits

  71. according to the word. And so breathe

  72. upon the people Holy Spirit today and

  73. touch each and every heart that not one

  74. will leave this place. Not one will hear

  75. this message without being changed

  76. because you promise Lord that you watch

  77. over your word to perform it in Jesus'

  78. name confirming it with signs, wonders,

  79. and miracles. So, not only those with

  80. metal plates, but any sickness and

  81. disease has to dissolve in the presence

  82. of God. No plague can come nigh your

  83. dwelling. And the anointing of the Lord

  84. destroys, it doesn't only break, it

  85. destroys every yoke of Satan. Amen. And

  86. as we'll see today, we know where

  87. sickness and disease comes from. So Paul

  88. writing to the Galatians, and you can

  89. turn to Galatians 3:13. Let me go slowly

    Galatians 3:13

  90. so you can get this. The Lord wants you

  91. to live in the blessing. [clears throat]

  92. Jesus didn't come all the way down the

  93. Milky Way of time into the arena of

  94. human affairs and walk that sinless life

  95. and bleed and die on an old rugged cross

  96. and rise again and go through all that

  97. he went through. so that you could live

  98. under the curse.

  99. Jesus came so that you would live in the

  100. blessing.

  101. >> And the blessing of the Lord makes rich.

  102. And that word rich, by the way, means a

  103. full supply. We get all kinds of

  104. extremes. And I'll touch more on that,

  105. but we're not into extremes here. We're

  106. into a full supply. Everything that you

  107. need for life and godliness, everything

  108. you need to fulfill your purpose in this

  109. life, God is committed by covenant

  110. blessing and covenant love to provide

  111. every need according to his riches in

  112. glory by Christ Jesus.

  113. >> And so Paul says, the father has blessed

  114. you. Jesus has attained it and the holy

  115. spirit manifested in your life. the

  116. father. I I went before the father

  117. looking, "Father, how do you feel about

  118. me?" And he took me to Ephesians 1:3 and

    Ephesians 1:3

  119. he said, "Son, I have blessed you."

  120. Listen to this. Not going to bless you.

  121. Would you say, "I am blessed with every

  122. spiritual blessing in heavenly places in

  123. Christ Jesus."

  124. Thus says the Lord. I'm just a messenger

  125. boy. But I love this message because the

  126. gospel is the power of God unto

  127. salvation and a full surprise. Supply

  128. also a surprise. Thank God he surprises

  129. us. There's instant surprises. So

  130. Galatians 3:13, Christ has, would you

    Galatians 3:13

  131. say has,

  132. >> you have been redeemed, bought out of

  133. the slave market, set free and released.

  134. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of

  135. the law, having become a curse for us

  136. because it is written, "Cursed is

  137. everyone who hangs on a tree that the

  138. blessing of Abraham might come upon the

  139. Gentiles in Christ Jesus." Would you say

  140. in Christ Jesus?

  141. >> Not standing in my own righteousness. My

  142. own righteousness is as filthy rags. But

  143. when I receive Christ, who is my

  144. righteousness? 1 Corinthians 1:30.

    1 Corinthians 1:30

  145. Christ is your righteousness. Christ is

  146. your sanctification, your holiness.

  147. Christ is your redemption from sickness,

  148. poverty, and spiritual death. Christ is

  149. your wisdom. Hallelujah. And with wisdom

  150. comes riches, honor, and long life. That

  151. the blessing of Abraham might come upon

  152. the Gentiles in Christ Jesus that we

  153. might receive the promise of the Holy

  154. Spirit through faith.

  155. Oh, hallelujah. Thank God I don't have

  156. to live by my own limited human ability.

  157. You don't have to live live by your own

  158. limited human ability or wisdom, but you

  159. have the mind of Christ and you can live

  160. out of the wisdom of God. Solomon, the

  161. wisest of all men, fell in sin. But a

  162. greater than Solomon, Jesus said, is

  163. here. One who never sinned, though he

  164. was tempted in all points like as we

  165. are, yet no sin. And he became sin with

  166. your sin, cursed by hanging on a tree.

  167. And through his sin and becoming sin,

  168. you have been made the righteousness of

  169. God in Christ. Through the abundance of

  170. God's grace, God's riches at Christ

  171. expense, and the gift, would you say the

  172. gift? The gift of righteousness,

  173. you are called to reign and rule in your

  174. circumstances as a king. Romans 5:17.

    Romans 5:17

  175. Then verse 29, this is so important. For

  176. if the inheritance is of the law, it is

  177. no longer of promise, but God gave it to

  178. Abraham by promise. I left my water

  179. there. If somebody can give me water,

  180. please. [clears throat]

  181. Oh, hallelujah. Let me read [laughter]

  182. that again. For if the inheritance Thank

  183. you, brother. For if the inheritance is

  184. of the law, it is no longer of promise,

  185. but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

  186. So you cannot earn the blessing. You

  187. cannot earn victory. You have to receive

  188. Christ. Amen. He is the gift of God. For

  189. God so loved the world that he gave his

  190. only begotten son that whoever believes

  191. into him into him

  192. should not perish but have shaka bundi

  193. everlasting life. And that's Zoe the

  194. life of God.

  195. So when we look at the blessing of

  196. Abraham, beloved, we need to understand

  197. that Abraham lived before the law.

  198. People don't think tithing is is for

  199. today. They need to read Hebrews 7:8.

    Hebrews 7:8

  200. And they need to look at the fact that

  201. Abraham tithed before the law and Jacob

  202. tithed before the law. And so tithing is

  203. a principle, I believe, of blessing in

  204. God. And when we look at Abraham, Isaac,

  205. and Jacob, you will know that God

  206. blessed Abraham. And he told him, "I'm

  207. going to make you rich, and I will make

  208. your name great, and I will bless you."

  209. If you go to and you can go through u

  210. Genesis 12, go 17 and 22. I don't have

  211. time today, but he said, "As the stars

  212. of the heavens and as the sand of the

  213. sea, the shore, so will your seed be."

  214. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands,

  215. not only Palestine, but the earth. The

  216. Bible says in Romans that the earth was

  217. his inheritance, the inheritance of

  218. Abraham. The earth belongs to the Lord

  219. and he is king of kings and lord of

  220. lords. That worship was so beautiful

  221. today.

  222. And he said, "All power in heaven and

  223. earth is given unto me." Hallelujah. He

  224. sits upon the circle of the heavens. The

  225. earth is but his foottool and the earth

  226. belongs to him. Unfortunately, God as

  227. you know in the beginning created man in

  228. his own image and likeness and he

  229. blessed him and he blessing means

  230. empowered. He empowered mankind to be

  231. fruitful and to multiply and he made a

  232. covenant in uh on Tuesdays we have fire

  233. in the week here and we've just having

  234. such a wonderful family time here. Our

  235. people are praying and knitting. Hearts

  236. are knitting and we teach the word. And

  237. I've been pressing into what covenant is

  238. all about. When God made a covenant,

  239. understand, beloved, it's a covenant

  240. that cannot be broken. It's a covenant

  241. not signed with ink, but established in

  242. his own blood. The Bible calls the blood

  243. of Jesus the blood of God. And so God is

  244. committed to you by his blood. And he's

  245. made a covenant. And he started making

  246. the initial covenant with mankind. And

  247. he said, "Go and be fruitful and

  248. multiply, replenish the earth." [snorts]

  249. And man was meant to live out of the

  250. tree of life, which speaks of Jesus. But

  251. instead of living out of the life of

  252. God, man began to feed from the tree of

  253. the knowledge of good and evil. And they

  254. had to learn that the serpent was in the

  255. tree. The wisdom of this world, James

    James 3:14

  256. 3:14 tells you that the wisdom of this

  257. world is sensual and it's demonic. The

  258. world lives by demonic spirits. And you

  259. ask yourself why the chaos, WHY THE

  260. CONFUSION? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IN OUR

  261. NATION AND in America and the nations of

  262. the world? What is TAKING PLACE HERE?

  263. IT'S THE CONSEQUENCE. Curse is a

  264. consequence of sin. And so Adam and Eve,

  265. as you know, disobey God, partake of the

  266. forbidden fruit, eat of the wrong tree

  267. instead of the tree of life. And those

  268. cherubim and saraphim have to tell them

  269. to leave the garden lest they eat of the

  270. tree of life and live forever in a

  271. sinful cursed state. And as they leave,

  272. beloved, all of a sudden we see all the

  273. diabolical deeds of the devil. We see

  274. death as Cain kills Abel. And we seeing

  275. that in the countries today when Cain

  276. killed Abel, it's just another thing

  277. that is basically like Marxism.

  278. When you think about this, these are

  279. religions. What is communism? What is

  280. Islam? They're trying to take over the

  281. world. They're trying to bring a false

  282. kingdom, but the kingdom of the world

  283. will be established and every other

  284. kingdom will be shaken and brought down

  285. from Babylon all the way down, said

  286. Daniel. He saw the stone come out of the

  287. mountain, the kingdom of the Lord

  288. coming. And we seek first the kingdom of

  289. God and his righteousness and things are

  290. provided supernaturally because the

  291. father's watching over his word to

  292. perform it.

  293. And so when we talk about the blessing

  294. of Abraham, understand God was always a

  295. God of grace. God has always been a God

  296. who wants to bless you. He wants you

  297. blessed coming in, blessed going out. He

  298. wants you to be the head and not the

  299. tail. He wants you to enjoy life's very

  300. best.

  301. But Satan's come to kill, steal, and

  302. destroy. But Jesus said, "I've come to

  303. give you life and life more abundantly.

  304. And if you'll do it my way and you live

  305. out of the tree of life and come back to

  306. the place that I called mankind to live,

  307. you will enjoy and you will be fruitful.

  308. Hallelujah. And your fruit will remain.

  309. Oh, thank God for the tree of life.

  310. Thank God for the blessing of the Lord

  311. that makes rich and adds no sorrow. And

  312. so God blesses Abraham. And as he

  313. blesses Abraham, he says, "Not only you,

  314. but your seed will be blessed." And

  315. you'll see that blessing flow from

  316. generation to generation. And as we've

  317. just read in Galatians, even to the

  318. Gentiles, to the church of the Lord

  319. Jesus Christ. And that blessing that

  320. makes rich and adds no sorrow. That

  321. blessing, blessing means empowered to

  322. prosper. That blessing that empowers us

  323. is by the Holy Ghost. He said, "The

  324. blessing of Abraham, the gift of the

  325. Holy Spirit. It's not by might nor by

  326. power, but by my spirit, says the Lord.

  327. And when I try to do it in my own

  328. strength, I fall flat on my face every

  329. time. But when the spirit of God came

  330. upon Samson, Samson jumped on the lion.

  331. That was the end of the lion. When the

  332. spirit of the Lord, hallelujah, came

  333. upon him. He took THE JAWBONE OF AN ASS

  334. AND SLEW A THOUSAND PEOPLE on his own

  335. under that anointing.

  336. Understand the anointing of God, the

  337. power of God is the greatest power on

  338. the face of the earth. The power of the

  339. Holy Spirit. And when God blessed

  340. Abraham AND HE BLESSED ISAAC, ISAAC DID

  341. NOT have to go down to Egypt for

  342. provision. Genesis 26. When others were

  343. going down and Isaac was going to go

  344. down because of famine in the land and

  345. the what was going on,

  346. should we call it a government shutdown?

  347. He didn't go down to Egypt. The Lord

  348. said, "You stay here and you sow in

  349. famine." And Genesis 26 says that he

  350. sowed in famine. And verse 14 says, "In

  351. the same year, he reaped a hundfold

  352. because the blessing of the Lord makes

  353. rich. And God said, I'm going to make

  354. you rich. My blessing will give you a

  355. full supply." "I've never seen the

  356. righteous forsaken, nor his seedbegging

  357. bread," said David. "The difficulty,

  358. beloved, or the challenge is for us to

  359. stop leaning to our own limited

  360. understanding."

  361. Lean not you understand to your own

  362. understanding, but believe and trust the

  363. Lord. I'm not moved by what I see. I'm

  364. not moved by what I feel. I'm only moved

  365. by what the word of GOD SAYS. AND GOD IS

  366. WATCHING OVER HIS WORD to perform it in

  367. your life because he's no respector of

  368. persons.

  369. If you're in Christ, then you have

  370. Abraham's blessing and you're an heir of

  371. God and a joint heir together with

  372. Jesus. Everything that belongs to God

  373. now belongs to us as the family of God.

  374. Just as an interjection, the reason some

  375. don't enjoy it is they they disconnect

  376. from the body of Christ. Don't do that.

  377. There is no perfect church. There's no

  378. perfect pastor. Just understand there's

  379. no perfect anybody other than Jesus.

  380. >> But as we look at the blessing of

  381. Abraham now, we see Isaac prospers. I

  382. mean, talk about he didn't even have to

  383. find his own wife.

  384. Oh, Shaka Bundi.

  385. That's that's a word for a few bachelors

  386. here.

  387. God even found his wife for him. And

  388. sometimes the mess is we go and find our

  389. own wife and we go in the wrong places

  390. where sin is drunk like dirty water. And

  391. I remember we did a divorce recovery

  392. course. This woman was so angry because

  393. the person leading it, I've got to keep

  394. this short, but

  395. >> [panting]

  396. >> He said, "Every divorce is two-sided."

  397. And this woman got so angry. Then she

  398. said, "Don't you dare say that my

  399. husband was an alcoholic. He molested my

  400. daughter and you telling me this divorce

  401. was both of ours 50/50."

  402. And the woman leaded said, "Tell me when

  403. you married that dude, did you know he

  404. was an elk?"

  405. She said, "You know, my mother tried to

  406. warn me. Everybody tried to warn me. My

  407. friends warned me. But I was determined.

  408. You understand? Rebellion is the spirit

  409. of witchcraft. I'm not listening to God.

  410. I want this dude. And she said, I walked

  411. down that aisle knew knowing I was doing

  412. the wrong thing. And the consequences,

  413. the curse

  414. smashed her life and her daughter

  415. molested and affected throughout life

  416. until Jesus healed.

  417. It's a terrible thing, beloved, the

  418. curse. When you look at the curse and

  419. you look at Deuteronomy 28, what is the

  420. curse of the law? The Bible talks about

  421. the blessing. Blessed in the field,

  422. blessed in the basket, blessed in the

  423. womb. all these blessings if you obey

  424. the Lord and do it his way and live out

  425. of the tree of life, so to speak, out of

  426. his word and walk in his ways. It's his

  427. word and his ways and his will, right?

  428. And when we walk in his will and ways,

  429. there's blessing. Hallelujah. Because

  430. God's watching over it. But then it goes

  431. from verse 15 to 68. It's the most

  432. terrible thing. blindness and locusts

  433. eating the crops and everything being

  434. destructed, destroyed and even

  435. sicknesses that haven't been named

  436. coming on people because of the

  437. consequences of sin. The diabolical

  438. deeds of the devil destroying and

  439. brought forth thin thistle and thorn and

  440. the curse came upon mankind. Cain kills

  441. Abel and so it goes on. Well, God has to

  442. flood the earth. But when we look at the

  443. life of Abraham and Isaac, we now come

  444. to Jacob and his beautiful son Joseph.

  445. And the Lord really quickened for us to

  446. look at Joseph is a type of Jesus.

  447. Joseph is a type of the church. And

  448. here's this young man and he begins to

  449. move and live not by flesh or out of his

  450. own understanding. The young boy has a

  451. dream and in the dream he sees the

  452. blessing of the Lord upon him. the sheav

  453. bowing down to his sheath. The sun and

  454. the moon are the stars bowing down to

  455. him. So help us to properly interpret

  456. the scriptures. How did the father

  457. understand what he was talking about? He

  458. says, you talk about the sun and the

  459. moon and the stars bowing down. You

  460. know, are you saying your parents will

  461. bow down to you? I want you to get this.

  462. He was living out of the tree of life.

  463. It wasn't his own plan. He wasn't

  464. running in somebody else's lane. He

  465. wasn't running with somebody else's

  466. vision. He wasn't trying to be anything

  467. other than what God called him to be.

  468. And I tell you, those Pharisees wanted

  469. to kill Jesus. Jezebel will always want

  470. to kill the anointing. It's all about

  471. power. But thank God, the anointing

  472. destroys the yoke. And the Unix will

  473. bury Jezebel where she needs to be

  474. buried. Isn't that right? Isn't it

  475. right? The spirit of Pharaoh that makes

  476. slaves of people. Think about it,

  477. beloved. Don't don't come with the

  478. nonsense that people care. The reason

  479. they don't want people to be legal is

  480. because they can keep them slaves. But

  481. make people legal they can earn their

  482. salary and have a minimum wage and

  483. prosper because the hardworking man will

  484. be made rich. Not communism or Marxism,

  485. but the Holy Ghost blessing that makes

  486. rich and adds no sorrow.

  487. And so this young man is now listening

  488. to God and he unfortunately releases the

  489. the vision too early to the wrong people

  490. and you know they threw him into the pit

  491. and from the pit he went as a slave to

  492. part of his house. But in those

  493. situations beloved when those brothers

  494. left him in the pit and he LOOKED DOWN

  495. IN THE day and he saw the sand of the

  496. seashore he could remember the blessing

  497. is upon my grandpa and greatgrandfather.

  498. The blessing of the Lord makes rich and

  499. adds no sorrow. It doesn't matter if I'm

  500. in the pit. God will take me out of the

  501. pit. He will remove me from THE PRISON.

  502. HE WILL OPEN the prison house by his

  503. spirit and he WILL PUT ME IN THE PALACE.

  504. AND WHEN HE looked up, he saw THE STARS

  505. OF THE heavens and understood the

  506. blessing of the Lord was upon him. And

  507. when Piper saw him and he was being sold

  508. as a slave, the Bible says that Piper

  509. looked at him as a slave and he knew

  510. that he was a prosperous man. He knew

  511. something was different and he prospered

  512. in in that man's house until the man

  513. could trust him and didn't even have to

  514. think about what was happening with his

  515. money or anything else. But that

  516. blessing, Satan hates the blessing.

  517. Satan wants to bring the curse. Satan is

  518. driven like a green serpent by jealousy

  519. and envy and wants to stop anything

  520. that's the true anointing of God. Thank

  521. God in North Palm, we are pressing in

  522. for the genuine and the real. You heard

  523. Timothy today. We wanting the real and

  524. the true. We wanting what's genuinely of

  525. God. We want the true bread and we want

  526. the true wine. We want the true Jesus

  527. and we want the true gospel. Paul said,

  528. "They bring another gospel. Let them be

  529. accursed." The curse is upon nations

  530. because of the doctrine of demons and so

  531. many people living under the

  532. consequences of sin.

  533. But this young man, even in the hour of

  534. temptation, he said, "I cannot do this

  535. thing." And he fled. Flee youthful

  536. lusts. The word hidden in your heart

  537. will keep you pure in your ways. The

  538. purifying word of God, the purifying

  539. fire of God. Now, when I preach this,

  540. it's never to bring condemnation. You

  541. got to understand, I come out of sin and

  542. every other thing. So, I stand here by

  543. the grace of God. I'm a prodigal son

  544. that's come home. But I got tired of the

  545. pigs. I got tired of the demonic. I got

  546. tired of eating pig flop. I got tired of

  547. the emptiness in my soul. I got tired of

  548. depression and all the rest of it and

  549. fear and torment and every other thing

  550. as spirits came against my life. Thank

  551. God the devil was cast out of me. And

  552. Jesus came in and the Holy Ghost came

  553. in. AND GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME than

  554. he that's in the world. I don't have to

  555. lean on my own limited human ability.

  556. Oh, blessed be the Lord. Blessed be the

  557. Lord. Blessed be the Lord. Oh, he does

  558. feed upon our praises. Timothy worship

  559. team. He rides upon our praises. He's

  560. enthroned upon our praises. His

  561. authority is released in these meetings.

  562. And so the authority of Christ is in

  563. here in the name of Jesus to set every

  564. captive free from every curse. And those

  565. curses come and you listen to Christians

  566. and they struggling with depression and

  567. this that and the next thing. Thank God

  568. for the spirit of counsel and those who

  569. know how to counsel by the spirit, not

  570. by the tree of knowledge. Jesus is the

  571. bishop of bishop of our souls. He knows

  572. how to restore our souls and our minds

  573. and emotions, but it's by the spirit

  574. and by the word.

  575. And so this man through the blessing. He

  576. treasured the blessing. He wasn't an

  577. Esau. He was like Jacob. Jacob wanted

  578. the blessing, the father's blessing.

  579. Hallelujah. And he wanted he honored the

  580. covenant. The covenant has to be with

  581. relationship. It's like a marriage. God

  582. is married to you. Even to the

  583. backslider, backslider, listen to me.

  584. He's married to the backslider. He will

  585. not let you go. All he says is come

  586. back. And he'll run and fall on your

  587. neck and kiss you when you come back.

  588. And he will put a ring back on your

  589. finger. And he'll put shoes on your

  590. feet. And he'll clothe you with a robe.

  591. Oh, [gasps]

  592. didn't he love his son, his eldest boy,

  593. Joseph? He just loved him and he put

  594. that coat on, but it brought jealousy

  595. and envy. Of course, the Pharisees like

  596. with Jesus wanted to take him out. So

  597. they put him in that pit and he had to

  598. go through that wilderness experience.

  599. But the blessing of the Lord that makes

  600. rich in every area, spirit, soul, body,

  601. interpersonally, financially kept him

  602. from the sin.

  603. And in purity of heart, he's thrown and

  604. falsely accused. Just like Jesus,

  605. though tempted in all points, yet

  606. without sin, they crucified him. They

  607. nailed him to that cross and he had to

  608. pay in full until he cried, "Eli, Eli,

  609. my God, my God, why have you forsaken

  610. me?" He drunk a bitter cup. He'd never

  611. sinned. But now he yielded to the

  612. father's will. Not my will, but your

  613. will be done. Father, I'll do whatever

  614. you want me to do. I this cup, I don't

  615. want to drink it. Nevertheless, not my

  616. will. I'll take it all. And he went to

  617. the whipping post and he went went to

  618. the cross and hanging between heaven and

  619. earth. Hallelujah. Nailed to the cross,

  620. God paid in full for all your sin and

  621. mine. And he rose again for our

  622. justification.

  623. And so we watch this beautiful boy go

  624. through prison. And even the prison

  625. warden, the one over the prisons

  626. recognize there's something about this

  627. man. Even in prison, the blessing's

  628. working. I don't care what process

  629. you're going through, beloved. If you'll

  630. abide in Christ and abide in the

  631. blessing, he will keep you. Hallelujah.

  632. And he will preserve you for the work

  633. he's begun in you. He will perform. Only

  634. thing you have to do is abide in Christ,

  635. the source of all blessing. Abide in me.

  636. I am the branch, the vine, and you are

  637. the branches. Just abide in me and watch

  638. me bring it to pass.

  639. The blessing works. Cream will always

  640. rise to the top. I remember my mother

  641. taught me as a boy singing hymn under

  642. the tree son. Jesus never stood on

  643. others to get to the top. He built

  644. others. That's the heart of the man of

  645. blessing. He doesn't operate out of

  646. fear. Fear, manipulation, control of

  647. people. He lives out of faith in the

  648. blessing and knows promotion comes from

  649. the Lord. And though you go through

  650. difficult times and though you

  651. misunderstood and most times you're

  652. thrown in the pit and people at your

  653. workplace do stuff to you that you can't

  654. explain, understand as we heard today

  655. from Apostle Alex. You understand

  656. there's other voices talking to other

  657. people. They're under the sway of the

  658. devil. They're under the sway of the

  659. curse.

  660. But you walk in the blessing and you

  661. walk in the light and all the darkness

  662. of the world cannot extinguish the light

  663. of God in you. You're a lamp and a light

  664. and you're a salt in that place. And so

  665. even in the prison house, he's blessed.

  666. And then he begins to prophesy. I want

  667. you to hear this over the baker and the

  668. cupbearer. Isn't it wonderful? Say,

  669. "God, I'm in a prison cell here and I've

  670. been falsely accused." And this is

  671. serious because this dude Potterer

  672. actually works in the prison guard of

  673. Pharaoh.

  674. I'm going to lose my head. This doesn't

  675. look too good.

  676. like standing before the the Red Sea,

  677. Pharaoh behind you, mountains either

  678. side, no way out, but God.

  679. Stand still. Rest in God. Rest in the

  680. blessing. Let the blessing work. It's

  681. not always pressing through. Oft times

  682. it's just resting, abiding.

  683. Never seen an apple sweat.

  684. And as you abide in the Lord, he begins

  685. to move. And these men come around him

  686. and say, "We've had these terrible

  687. dreams. I wish I had time to go into the

  688. fullness of those dreams, the wine and

  689. the basket of bread." And he says to the

  690. cup bearer, "Within three days you'll be

  691. back with the king, but remember to

  692. remember me

  693. to him." And he interprets the dream.

  694. People who I'm Please I'm I'm not

  695. interested in judging anybody. I think

  696. what I'm talking but when you come and

  697. talk to me be it cessationism that God

  698. doesn't still move today I ask you what

  699. socks are you smoking

  700. you ain't going to walk in this blessing

  701. without the gifts of the spirit

  702. without the holy spirit the holy spirit

  703. never left the earth he's never left and

  704. faith never stopped working the word of

  705. god only profits us when it's mixed with

  706. faith and Satan doesn't want you to

  707. believe that God wants you rich. Satan

  708. doesn't want you to believe that God

  709. wants you healthy. Satan doesn't want

  710. you to believe that you're going to

  711. heaven forever and that you have eternal

  712. life. He's the father of lies. Be ely

  713. bub the thief that's come to steal the

  714. word. But if you'll let the word the

  715. truth come into your heart and let

  716. become good ground, you'll bring forth

  717. 30fold, 60fold, 100fold because the

  718. blessing will always work. The blessing

  719. of the Lord that makes rich. the

  720. blessing of the Lord that prospered

  721. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Israel. And now

  722. the church, the Holy Ghost has come. And

  723. Jesus broke the curse. Cursed is

  724. everyone that hangs on the tree. And he

  725. took the curse of sickness, poverty, and

  726. spiritual death. When that woman was

  727. bowed over for 18 years, Jesus walked

  728. through. Listen to this. the the ruler

  729. of the synagogue was upset with the

  730. anointing

  731. dead head.

  732. And Jesus said, "This daughter of

  733. Abraham, she's not meant to be bowed

  734. over like this." Sickness comes from

  735. Satan. God is not the author of

  736. sickness. He has to permit stuff because

  737. people walk in sin. [clears throat] They

  738. give place to the devil. They let the

  739. locust eat. And the Bible tells you

  740. adultery will reduce a man to a slice of

  741. bread. Read Proverbs. This is sin. When

  742. you let sin in, sin destroys. I'm not

  743. talking condemnation. I'm preaching the

  744. blessing. But God's given you a free

  745. will to choose. And I remember sitting

  746. down and saying, "God, I'm going to look

  747. in the mirror of your word, and I'm

  748. going to look at these sins. I'm going

  749. to have a good look at myself, and I'm

  750. going to look in the mirror, and you'll

  751. know the seven deadly sins. They

  752. basically summarize pride like Lucifer

  753. and Ne Nebuchadnezzar, envy like Cain,

  754. wroth like Saul, sloth like the church

  755. at Leadyia, greed like Judas, gluttony

  756. like Esau, lust like Samson. Lord,

  757. anything of that ask you to forgive me

  758. cuz that curse will bring locusts. It'll

  759. bring devastation. It'll bring sickness.

  760. I got in a wrong attitude one day and I

  761. was claiming 1 Peter 2:24 for my healing

    1 Peter 2:24

  762. and the Lord said, "Look at the context,

  763. son. You've allowed nonsense in your

  764. heart. You've got bitter and twisted."

  765. 3:00 in the morning, I repented right

  766. there and God instantly healed me. Don't

  767. let the devil lie to you. Vengeance is

  768. the Lord's. He will repay. Just abide IN

  769. THE BLESSING AND BLESS THOSE who curse

  770. you. Pray for those who despitefully

  771. you. Don't use you. Don't lose the

  772. blessing. The Lord said, "Bless them

  773. because what comes out of your mouth

  774. goes into your heart.

  775. Bless them. Don't curse them. Pray for

  776. them."

  777. Understand it's all about protecting the

  778. blessing.

  779. And when that blessing that makes rich

  780. and adds no sorrow functions, they'd

  781. forgotten initially. But then Pharaoh

  782. has a dream.

  783. Oh, I was talking to Apostle Mark and

  784. the apostles and we're talking about the

  785. apostolic. You want to talk about the

  786. apostolic and prophetic, the prophetic

  787. flow in Joseph. But he became a father

  788. to Pharaoh. Study it in Genesis.

  789. Oh hallelujah.

  790. The next thing Pharaoh wants somebody to

  791. interpret his dream. The fat cows and

  792. the lean eating it up. Seven good years.

  793. Seven fat years. You see the Holy

  794. Spirit, he knows the future.

  795. And he will work through dreams and

  796. prophetic words.

  797. Despise not prophesying.

  798. Thank God for the prophetic words over

  799. my life. And I knew they were God.

  800. He says, "Pharaoh, what you've seen

  801. here, seven flat fat flat. The flat ones

  802. ate the fat ones.

  803. Seven bad good years and then seven bad.

  804. Says, "I tell you what, counsel, the

  805. spirit of counsel, put men over it." And

  806. Pharaoh calls his counsel and says, "Who

  807. do we do?" They said, "Put this boy

  808. Joseph.

  809. Put Joseph." Listen to me. You are the

  810. Joseph of God.

  811. Christ in you. God's Joseph. These are

  812. all types of Jesus and what he went

  813. through.

  814. He was thrown in the pit, came unto his

  815. own, and his own received him not. They

  816. crucified him, spat upon him, tore his

  817. beard from his jaws. He was made a

  818. curse,

  819. and he took poverty.

  820. Hear me now. He took poverty. Oh, read

  821. the book of Job. Job was only like that

  822. for nine months. And he said, "The thing

  823. I feared, I let the devil in." And then

  824. at the end he said it's my I was

  825. standing in my own righteousness was

  826. overkill. He kept going and presenting

  827. sacrifices all his own righteousness.

  828. But when he repented God restored

  829. everything he had to twice what he had

  830. before. Knowing the grace of our Lord

  831. Jesus Christ that though he was rich 2

    2 Corinthians 8:9

  832. Corinthians 8:9 though he was rich for

  833. your sakes he became poor that you might

  834. be rich. In 9:8, 2 Corinthians 9:8 says,

    2 Corinthians 9:8

  835. "The Lord, hallelujah, will make all

  836. grace, undeserved merit." Please listen

  837. to me. This is for everybody here that

  838. will receive Christ. If you'll let Jesus

  839. in, if you'll receive Jesus and the

  840. blessing of God, it'll begin to work in

  841. your life. The blessing, the Holy Spirit

  842. will begin to restore what the

  843. cankerworm and the locust and the palmer

  844. have eaten. He'll restore everything the

  845. curse has done in your life. Oh, my

  846. beloved and darling brother and sister,

  847. you got to hear this. God loves you and

  848. he loves you with an undying love. And

  849. he said, "You seek first my kingdom,

  850. righteousness, peace, and joy in the

  851. Holy Ghost." Hallelujah. And everything

  852. will be provided. Every need will be met

  853. according to my riches in glory by

  854. Christ Jesus. Oh, hallelujah.

  855. And the widow walked straight. That

  856. little wood 18 years this daughter of

  857. Abraham walked in the blessing of

  858. Abraham and Satan had to leave. He

  859. cannot stay where the Abraham of

  860. blessing is upon your life. The Holy

  861. Spirit no plague will come now your

  862. dwelling and his anointing will destroy.

  863. And then he said Jesus God had warned

  864. them if you eat of that tree you'll die.

  865. Now there's different deaths. Cain

  866. killed Abel and that but it was talking

  867. about spiritual death.

  868. You know, it was the law of the spirit

  869. of life that we sang about today.

  870. Oh, thank God for the law of the spirit

  871. of life. Oh, glory to Jesus. I can let

  872. that bottle go. The law of sin and

  873. death. That's what I found. My flesh

  874. does just pulls me further and further

  875. down. But when it's tied to a hydrogen

  876. balloon, when the law of the spirit of

  877. life, when the Holy Spirit begins to

  878. work, when life begins, the life of God,

  879. the Zoey life, I've been teaching on it

  880. in fire in the week, but I can't here. I

  881. haven't got time. But you know what

  882. happened with John Cheet Lake? They put

  883. sickness on his hand and it dissipated.

  884. Said, "What's happening?" The doctor

  885. said, "You don't even have any garments

  886. or anything to protect you." He said,

  887. "No, the law of the spirit of life has

  888. set me free. That sin, that sickness

  889. touched my body. It dissipates." He

  890. said, "Sickness is pockets of death

  891. came through the garden." The curse.

  892. But when the Holy Spirit came and Jesus

  893. came who is the life and people received

  894. eternal life, he says all I do is I

  895. trust the life of God in me. The Zoe

  896. life, the law of the spirit of the Zoey

  897. life of God has made me free from the

  898. law. I just mix the word of God with

  899. faith and the fountain in me becomes a

  900. river and it washes out sickness and

  901. disease.

  902. We need revelation knowledge. Paul's

  903. prayed that we would understand these

  904. things. Otherwise, we live a Christian

  905. life. I've been there. Please hear me.

  906. Trying to live it in my own strength.

  907. Falling flat on my face. Trying to live

  908. for victory when God had already seated

  909. with me in Christ and wanted me to live

  910. from victory. Trying to earn the

  911. blessing when I'm already blessed.

  912. Trying to be redeemed when I'm already

  913. redeemed. What are we doing?

  914. Somebody said, "You got the bull by the

  915. tail, looking it in the face.

  916. Got everything back to front."

  917. But God wants you to know the truth.

  918. He is no respective person. If I could

  919. express what I'm feeling.

  920. This is not about Steve Stunning who

  921. comes up here and preaches. Please

  922. listen to me. I just messenger boy to

  923. tell you that the real messenger, the

  924. Holy Spirit wants to impart that

  925. abundant life to you.
