  7. year behind us in the mall and taking a look at, you know, the

  8. vision taking a, look at the cost of vision, all right?

  9. The provision and everything that you know, I began to seek

  10. the Lord about it. As far as you know, what is it

  11. that you need us to do? What is it that you need from us

  12. to be able to experience exactly what you planned?

  13. When you told pastor this was we were going to have them all and

  14. and we have it. All right?

  15. So We're going to we're going to discuss some of that stuff at

  16. tonight. All right.

  17. So let's have a word of prayer and then we're going, it's going

  18. to be Bible intensive. I'm going to take you through

  19. the Bible tonight. All right, so let's pray father,

  20. we thank you and praise you for the opportunity to come into

  21. your presence. And as we wrap up the year 2022,

  22. we thank you and praise you. That we want to prepare

  23. ourselves to seek your face, like we never had before to

  24. receive the blessings that you have for us to be able to

  25. Enlighten us on everything that you have need that we do in

  26. these last days. Father, we know that you've

  27. given our pain and we just thinking pretty sure.

  28. There's we go over to the word tonight that we would, we would

  29. see one particular thing that we know you want us to have.

  30. And it answers all the questions that we have in every Arena of

  31. provision and finance and and wealth.

  32. And those different things that you've laid out in your word,

  33. for us is summed up in one word and we're going to find that out

  34. tonight and we want to give you thanks for it in Jesus name.

  35. Name. Amen.

  36. Amen I am going all the way back to the Book of Genesis but I'm

  37. going to go to the third chapter.

  38. You got I was going to go to the first chapter.

  39. All right, we're gonna go to the third chapter.

  40. Because most of us know, the plan of creation that God had

  41. and that he said, we're going to make man in our own image.

  42. We are going to bless him. We're going to put him in the

  43. you know we're going to put him in a garden.

  44. He's going to dress it and keep it.

  45. He gave him one commandment. He said don't eat of the tree in

  46. the middle of the garden. The fruit of the tree of the

  47. knowledge of Good and Evil. The day you eat it.

  48. You will surely die. Okay.

  49. Now we didn't say you will surely drop dead.

  50. We know that he didn't die physically, he died spiritually.

  51. All right, but we go to the Third.

  52. Chapter after this event happens.

  53. And they went, they were basically tricked by Satan.

  54. Eve was and we come to the curses, okay, and God is looking

  55. for, Adam, Adam is hit himself. He's made clothes out of fig.

  56. Leaves God comes ask the question.

  57. Okay, where are you Adam? All right, not that he didn't

  58. know where he was. He just wanted to make sure Adam

  59. knew he was in a place. He shouldn't be.

  60. That's that's the point. So The question that that I've,

  61. you know, I've always to ask is that when he he said that and he

  62. began to he began to put the curses in effect, he cursed

  63. Satan and or the serpent at the time, he cursed at childbearing

  64. any. But do you remember what he

  65. cursed with Adam? The soil of the ground.

  66. He said in sorrow, now, you're going to have to work for your

  67. provision. It was all about provision.

  68. Do you remember that? Okay?

  69. And then as so by the the work, the toil and we've called it had

  70. a friend of mine that calls it, he said the Earth curse system

  71. and that people enter in the earth curse system, working toil

  72. and trying to figure out how to make a buck.

  73. What's the next thing moving that we need to make a buck?

  74. We need a buck. We got to have another Buck.

  75. All right, how do we make the next Buck?

  76. You know who's out there? Needing what we Nee, a, we can

  77. do to get the buck and so the Earth care system.

  78. It has that, that just that basically continual cycle that

  79. happened. And, and here's what you need to

  80. know that that particular lifestyle is Curse God, put it

  81. in effect. Now we Joe gets off the arc and

  82. then it says God said to him, I will no longer curse the ground

  83. for man's sake. That is in opposition to what he

  84. said to Adam. He said Adam the Sound is cursed

  85. for your sake. Now because of you, this curse

  86. has come on the earth, the provision and the fact that it's

  87. not going to yield to you. It's Bounty like it once did is

  88. curse and you did it but then he comes to Noah and he lets him

  89. know after everything's cleaned up and we get to start over.

  90. It said I will no longer and this is the eighth chapter of

  91. Genesis. I'll no longer curse the ground

  92. for man's sake and then you Art seeing things happen in men's

  93. lives that. Let you know that we're seeing

  94. some increase now. Immediately not not a good

  95. ending story, Noah built, you know, planted a Vineyard and

  96. said he got drunk, and all kind of crazy things happened after

  97. that, but they begin to see it. So when we come from that, then

  98. let's go to the 12th chapter. Okay?

  99. And and next year, I'm going to encourage you.

  100. This is this an early challenge, okay?

  101. That last several times I've had a chance to minister and you

  102. guys have been there all of you. I'm sure, you know, I picked up

  103. a little campaign that Rick Renner had called Revival of the

  104. Bible, right? And then what did I say Revival

  105. of the paper Bible? All right, there you go.

  106. She's getting my vibes already and it was across town, all

  107. right? And so when we talk about that

  108. and I made some comments, you know, on and Pastor it's funny

  109. because I don't know if he listens to what we get up and

  110. preach or not. I have to think that he does.

  111. All right? I mean I just can't imagine him

  112. just letting us all go. Whatever they bring, you know,

  113. and, and I just can't imagine that.

  114. But, you know, he said some things talking about people

  115. scrolling on their phones while he's trying to preach.

  116. And I mentioned that in my message, I said, listen, don't

  117. you think the devil was smart enough that that time that the

  118. minister is getting ready to say something that you've been

  119. wondering about that. All of a sudden your phone on,

  120. vibrate would go buddy. And there'd be something show up

  121. on there. Somebody doesn't realize you're

  122. in church and I've had that happen in for so many times and

  123. then all of a sudden, you know, you get this hitch to answer And

  124. the pastor still going on, but you're playing on your phone and

  125. pastors calling people out. He knows the kids do it.

  126. You know, I think he'd be shocked and out.

  127. How many adults do it, all right, and I said just stop the

  128. insanity of distraction and bring that paper Bible.

  129. That's your first challenge for 2023 whenever we come together.

  130. Pastors Ministry. Bring the paper Bible.

  131. You need a cookie malli. I need a cookie.

  132. She needs an all right. Bring your paper roll.

  133. Bible. Now here's the thing, they've

  134. spoiled Us Rotten Happening by putting it on screen, okay?

  135. But the thing is is that you know this year I purposed in my

  136. heart that I wasn't going to use my phone to follow along now,

  137. every now and then I'll grab the phone because they say a word

  138. that I want to know what the meaning is of it.

  139. And I got an app that shows me every Greek and Hebrew word in

  140. the Bible. So I use that as far as like,

  141. you know, when he saying that particular word or whatever,

  142. I'll immediate go to it, touch it, right?

  143. Write it down in my notes. Okay.

  144. Now, John George said something when we were here, he said your

  145. pastor takes notes, all you men ought to be taking notes, okay?

  146. And I'm not, I wouldn't know take her.

  147. I I married one. Right?

  148. I married a note-taker. All right and she takes really

  149. good notes but can I be honest with you, I've never one time.

  150. Looked at any her notes. I have not I mean, I'm watching

  151. her right. Um, honey that's good.

  152. Your handwriting still really good.

  153. Yeah, but I've never sat down at any given time and opened that

  154. up. Just see what she took.

  155. So what goods that doing me. All right, so, you know, I came

  156. up with anything I can get you a copy of.

  157. It's called a little note taker tells me the date and whole bit

  158. and I bring one in my Bible just like that.

  159. And I just take, that's all the notes you're going to get is 12

  160. pages, but I'm pretty precise. How I do my notes?

  161. Because one, what do I want? I want all the scriptures.

  162. Well, that's plenty enough. If they give us that many

  163. scriptures, it fills up the one whole sheet, then we have got a

  164. lot of scriptures, right? So yeah, yeah.

  165. So yeah. So I want to encourage you, you

  166. know, let's get back to the paper Bible and eliminate

  167. distraction. Okay, can we do that?

  168. Now, listen, I want to go to the next next part of talking.

  169. Of the the Genesis chapter 12 and I'm going to read it to you.

    Genesis 12 chapter mention

  170. Genesis chapter 12 is so important because you know,

    Genesis 12 chapter mention

  171. learned quite a bit in the study this year of looking at it.

  172. But this is, this is God coming to Abram at the time.

  173. And it says, now, listen to what he says, and I'm going to point

  174. out a few things that we need to remember and going into next

  175. year, he said now the Lord said to Abram get thee out of thy

  176. country and from thy Kindred, and from thy, father's house

  177. with a bless you and I will Make your name great and you shall be

  178. a blessing and I will bless them that bless you curse them that

  179. curse you and in all the family and and in the all the families

  180. of the Earth shall be blessed. Now, I think it's interesting

  181. because the next verse says, Abram departed as as the Lord

  182. had spoken to him. Immediately.

  183. I mean, you know, as soon as he heard the Lord speak he took

  184. off. But notice what he said in here.

  185. He said, listen, I am going to bless you.

  186. I want you to jot this word down in the Hebrew.

  187. It is the word. Barack be a Rak Brock.

  188. It basically is talking about the blessings and, and to a

  189. point that you are well respected.

  190. You know, you people will be able to notice that.

  191. There's something about you. He said I'm going to bless you,

  192. but then he said, I'm going to make You a blessing?

  193. It's interesting. The words are different.

  194. In the word, he's going to bless.

  195. I Will Bless. You is a verb and the word.

  196. You will be a blessing is a noun.

  197. So, in order to get to the noun blessing, You've got to have the

  198. action of being blessed. Okay, and we're going to see how

  199. it comes every time. All right, so he's in here and

  200. he says in there I'll make the great nation.

  201. All Families, All Families, not just Jewish families, not just

  202. Hebrew families. All right, all families of the

  203. earth will be blessed because of you.

  204. Now think about it. He told him I'm going to make

  205. you a great nation. That was part of the blessing.

  206. And if you think about it, when he's me, when he, when he told

  207. him, I want to make you a blessing.

  208. And again, think of how hard that was 21 receive that word.

  209. Because how are you going to become a great nation?

  210. If you can't even have kids, All right.

  211. So there's going to be some Faith involved.

  212. And what have we determined? Faith is Faith and just simply

  213. believing their whatever God says is true.

  214. And begin to act as if it's true.

  215. Hopefully, next year. Pastoral let me do.

  216. I been wanting to do a lesson on face greatest enemies, okay?

  217. And one of the greatest enemies to Faith is failure to act like

  218. the word is true. Most people act like, okay,

  219. remember faith is not you know being in denial about the facts.

  220. They simply calls things that be not as though they were okay, so

  221. when we have Abram, we have him. He's going to be blessed.

  222. Take a look. I've got just a couple of

  223. scriptures in their, the 27th. Chapter of Genesis, we have the

  224. account and this is hilarious. Really?

  225. Because Isaac. Okay, we've got, you know, we

  226. got Isaac Isaac's getting ready? He says he's dimming his side.

  227. He can't see very good. He says this, I don't know when

  228. I'm gonna die. But he says, if you will go and

  229. he calls, Esau, he said if you'll go prepare venison for me

  230. and everything. If you come back I will bless

  231. you. I will give you the blessing.

  232. What everybody knew what that was.

  233. Everybody knew that he that is going to pronounce the blessing

  234. on me. And so he leaves remember and it

  235. says Rebecca heard it and told Jacob to go get, you know, go so

  236. that we could prepare all of this, all right?

  237. And then if you remember, he came, he came and he gave the

  238. blessing to Jacob brother comes in later and and is all upset

  239. because he ain't going to get the blessing.

  240. Think about it. All the blessing was wrapped up

  241. in what dad was going to speak over them.

  242. That is what we need to know about the blessing of God.

  243. It comes by him speaking over us.

  244. One of my favorite stories in the Bible.

  245. As far as accounts. Really not just a story.

  246. Is Joseph. And next year, the first few

  247. months I'm going to talk about some things that we can learn

  248. from Joseph and his whole life that will encourage us and

  249. increase us in our ability to handle more and more and more

  250. provision. But tonight I want to look at

  251. one little thing that was said about Joseph in the 39 chapter.

  252. We find out is that Joseph was brought down from Egypt and

  253. potiphar and officer of pharaoh like a captain of the guard in

  254. Egyptian. Bought him from the hands of the

  255. ishmaelites which had brought him down from where his father

  256. was. Now I think it's interesting

  257. because you know it says is he a captain of the Guard?

  258. You know, you look that up and basically that word is defined

  259. the Executioner. But what is interesting?

  260. It also goes back to somebody that can handle.

  261. Now I thought that was crazy but then I got to thinking about it.

  262. Remember the two guys that got put into?

  263. And it said the prison and and it and it has the appearance,

  264. this was poppers prison. if you'll, if you reduce his prison

  265. and he had two guys from the kitchen, In the prison.

  266. So he might have been the chef. You know, and of course you

  267. know, you're going to cleave some meat.

  268. Then you'd probably say, you know what?

  269. I got somebody, I need you to take care of.

  270. And and they probably know how to execute pretty well, but I

  271. thought that was an interesting because we've always had a

  272. picture painted of a guy that was a soldier, but basically go

  273. look that up is that, you know, the captain of the host is

  274. there. He says, but let notice this, he

  275. said and the Lord was with Joseph verse 2 and he was a

  276. prosperous man and he was in the house of his master, the

  277. Egyptian and his master saw that the Lord was with him and that

  278. the Lord made. All that he did to prosper in

  279. his hand and Joseph found Grace in his sight, and he served him

  280. and he made him overseer over his house and all that.

  281. He had put into his hand and then he goes on and he said, and

  282. he came to pass that had made him overseer and over him.

  283. And the Lord blessed the Egyptian house, that is the same

  284. Greek Hebrew word of the word blessed.

  285. When he said Abraham, I'm going to make you a blessing, the same

  286. word but notice who got just, Potiphar got blessed because

  287. that's exactly what it said. You said, the Lord blessed the

  288. Egyptians house for Joseph's sake and blessed the blessing of

  289. the Lord, excuse me. What's going on?

  290. It was upon all that he had in the house and in the field so

  291. all the provision that he had. All right, he attributed and

  292. even noticed it was because of the blessing that was on his his

  293. life. Now I think it's interesting

  294. because, you know, we talked about prosperity and I've taught

  295. on him for years. That the word Prosper here

  296. doesn't mean the accumulation of things because he had no things.

  297. His brothers didn't tell him, you know, hang on a second and

  298. we're going to pack you some bags.

  299. Okay? You're going to need something

  300. because you're going on a trip. The only thing he had was the

  301. clothes on his back and some chains.

  302. And they delivered him down there as a slave.

  303. So when he gets into this guy's house, it said that the Lord was

  304. with him and that what the Lord made all that he did the Lord

  305. made all that. He did prosper in his hand and

  306. he said he found Grace in his sight but it said the Lord

  307. blessed his house. And so we see again, what it is

  308. say All Families will be blessed because of you.

  309. And the Simplicity of all that we understand about Abram going

  310. to Abraham, alright is the fact he heard God, tell him

  311. something, he believed it and they're acted on it.

  312. And the blessing came. All right, the activity came, I

  313. don't see Abram as far as, you know, somebody.

  314. I mean, think about it. You know, he gets into a

  315. situation with his nephew lot, what was it about?

  316. You know, I don't like your hair color.

  317. I don't like the clothes. You wear, I don't like it was

  318. all about their provision, their flocks and their herds man could

  319. not get along with each other. So they had to make a split.

  320. They had so much substance. So, God is basically, In him and

  321. continual, bless him, bless him. Now, it's getting down to the

  322. kids, even Jacob. I mean, when it came time the

  323. Lord was blessing him and told him, I'm going to bless you.

  324. I'm going to take care of you until I bring you back to your

  325. father's house in peace. And so we see we see them

  326. blessing but here's a scripture that I just been meditating, I

  327. encourage you to do the same. Its proverbs 10 verse 22.

    Proverbs 10:22

  328. And isn't what it says. The blessing of the Lord maketh

  329. rich and adds no sorrow with it. The word sorrow is from the same

  330. root as the word sorrow in Genesis, when the Lord put a

  331. curse or God put a curse on the land and told Adam listen

  332. Because Of You, the ground is cursed and now through sorrow,

  333. you will cultivate and try to reap a harvest the rest of your

  334. life. The word sorrow.

  335. There is the word worrisome. so when we, when we take a look and

  336. we get into worry, we're entering back into a curse.

  337. That God never intended as have. But he said the blessing of the

  338. Lord maketh rich and adds no sorrow.

  339. No, worry. And again toil or or hard labor

  340. to it. How do we know that?

  341. Because we look at Jesus teachings, what'd he say, don't

  342. worry about what you're going to eat drink or where your father

  343. knows, it knows you have Nina the Lord.

  344. Let's talk a little bit about the blessing of the Lord,

  345. because believe it or not, it is already been spoken over us.

  346. Galatians chapter 3. Paul writing to the church at

    Galatians 3 chapter mention

  347. galatia. And I think this is interesting

  348. the requirements of getting the blessing.

  349. Activated in our live very, very, very simple.

  350. In Galatians chapter 3 in verse 13.

    Galatians 3 chapter mention

  351. Listen to this Christ has redeemed us from the curse of

  352. the law being made a curse for us for it is written.

  353. Cursed, is everyone that hangs on a tree that The Blessing of

  354. Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ

  355. that we might receive the promise of the spirit through

  356. faith. two things he's talking about there one, The Blessing of

  357. Abraham, And two, he's talking the promise of the spirit but

  358. notice is it's both through faith.

  359. And what again is faith, faith is ability to hear God and

  360. believe it and begin to conduct your life.

  361. According to what God has said So when he says in there, that

  362. he ate, Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the law.

  363. He said that the blessing of Abraham, okay.

  364. We all know, but we're going to look at tonight, The Blessing of

  365. Abraham. Now it's interesting because I

  366. had to ask a question, you put the blessing of Abraham in the

  367. law. It just wasn't a document out

  368. here floating around somewhere and hope you get a copy of it.

  369. It was actually put in the law in Deuteronomy 28.

  370. All right now, all I'm going to focus on is the first 15 verses

  371. but I want to take a look at it. But the thing that I want to

  372. point out is the very, very, very first part of the chapter,

  373. okay? Because this is how we can

  374. invoke and get the blessing of God to operate in our lives and

  375. it is found in verse 1 and it It shall come to pass if you will

  376. hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord, your God to observe

  377. to do all of this Commandments, which I command you this day,

  378. that the Lord thy God will set the high above all the nations

  379. of the earth. And all of these blessings will

  380. come on you and overtake you, if you will hearken unto the voice

  381. of the Lord, your God, he listened and obeyed.

  382. Now, it's interesting in the Hebrew.

  383. The word harken. Is the same word for obey.

  384. In the Hebrew. So in other words, when God

  385. tells us something he doesn't tell us with an option.

  386. Even though being free moral agents, we can we can take an

  387. option. But he said, if you will hearken

  388. diligently to the voice of the Lord, your God, and he puts that

  389. word, if in there, you know, if then you shall hearken, all

  390. right? If is a conditional word, you

  391. may or may not choose to do it, but if you choose to do it, And

  392. you Harkin and you obey of all the words that are coming out of

  393. his mouth and instruction and in in, you know, Commandments that

  394. he has for us. Then he tells us in verse 2.

  395. He said, and, and all these blessings will come on you and

  396. overtake you. If you hearken to the voice of

  397. the Lord, your God and he begins to talk and he said blessed,

  398. you'll be in the city bless you'll be in the field.

  399. Blessed, shall be the fruit of your body, the fruit of your

  400. ground, the fruit of your cattle and the increase of that.

  401. And the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed, shall your basket?

  402. Be your basket in your store, blessed?

  403. Shall you be when you come in and blessed?

  404. Shall you be when you go out, the Lord will cause your enemies

  405. that rise up against you to be smitten before your face, and

  406. you shall come out against. They will come out against you

  407. one way, but flee, before you 7 and the Lord shall command the

  408. blessing. Here's what we need to

  409. understand. It's not a blessing, it's the

  410. blessing. The blessing of the Lord, not a

  411. blessing of the Lord. It's the blessing of the Lord.

  412. Maketh Rich. All right.

  413. He said the Lord shall command his blessing upon you and your

  414. Storehouse is in all that you set your hand to do.

  415. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord has given

  416. you. He will establish you as a holy

  417. people to himself as he is sworn in to the if That's Rapture

  418. practice. What in the world, Thou shalt

  419. keep the Commandments of the Lord thy God and walk in his way

  420. and all the people of the Earth shall see that you are called by

  421. the name of the Lord, and that you should, and they shall be

  422. afraid of you. And the Lord will make you

  423. plenteous in Goods in the fruit of your body and the fruit of

  424. your cattle, the fruit of your ground, the land, which the

  425. Lord, swear unto the fathers to give you.

  426. He said, and the Lord shall open to you, his good treasure having

  427. to give rain in the land in his season.

  428. To bless all the work of your hand.

  429. You will lend a many nations. You shall narc.

  430. If you, that you hearken to the Commandments of the Lord thy

  431. God, which I command you this day and he said, and you shall

  432. not go aside from it, any of The Words, which I command thee this

  433. day, to the right hand, or the left to go after gods and serve

  434. them. And that is the end of the

  435. blessing, verse 15, through 68. Is a curses.

  436. Okay. So how do you get the cursors

  437. exactly in opposition to what he just told you?

  438. I mean I'm not the brightest guy in the world but I have figured

  439. out that hanging with God and doing what God says gets me on

  440. his good side. Right.

  441. But think about that, he gives all these and and the majority

  442. of them in there are provision. Protection.

  443. I mean, you know, if you got an enemy coming against you, you

  444. know, one way and he says, they'll be smitten before your

  445. face. I'm going to meditate on that a

  446. little bit, especially the day in which we live.

  447. I mean, you know, I he said they'll flee before you said,

  448. but the key is, is following his words because this is what we

  449. really, really, really want to realize is that Blessings come

  450. out of the mouth. That's how Isaac was going to

  451. bless Esau, and he ended up blessing.

  452. How do you do it? He began to speak the words of

  453. blessing and let him know this is what you can have.

  454. That's why Paul wrote. He's had all the promises of God

  455. are. Yes and amen.

  456. So the thing we got to ask the question is, are we pursuing or

  457. learning or educating? When he said, seek first, the

  458. kingdom of God and his righteousness, the word seek in

  459. there is a Greek words that a 0 and it just simply means to make

  460. an inquiry. It's not God playing hide and

  461. seek. Okay I hope you guys find me.

  462. I imagine he'd be a pretty good Hider okay you know but he said

  463. that's not it. The words until means to inquire

  464. to form an investigation. So he says seek first the The

  465. kingdom. In other words, investigate the

  466. kingdom, inquire about the kingdom, ask questions about the

  467. kingdom, And God's righteousness.

  468. I like the I like the Amplified because it said God's way of

  469. being and doing right. So every situation that we find

  470. ourselves in, if we begin to speak the blessing of God over

  471. us and and, you know, I've been meditating some things about,

  472. you know, bills that are due and different things like that.

  473. And you know the the guys at the temple, ask Peter, does your

  474. master pay tribute or not? And you remember he went and he

  475. goes, yes, he pays tribute and he went into where Jesus and the

  476. other guys were and it said Jesus prevented him or stopped

  477. him. And made a comment to him, he's

  478. a Peter. And I'm thinking how Off the

  479. Wall, he said, Peter, he said when the Kings or the

  480. magistrates of the world decided to pay taxes.

  481. He said, do they go after their family or do?

  482. They go after strength strangers.

  483. And he goes, well, they go after strangers and he said, so then

  484. he said, basically the family is exempt.

  485. And he said so but that we don't offend them.

  486. Go down to the Sea cast in a hook.

  487. The first fish that comes out, open his mouth, they'll be a

  488. gold coin in there and Jesus said, go and pay the taxes for

  489. me and thee. And so on.

  490. I got to thinking about that. I said, you know, Lord, I said

  491. when it comes to 0 and taxes, I said you, you know, you told

  492. Peter that the children of the kingdom are exempt.

  493. I said, how can I get that activated?

  494. But you know what? It wasn't a, it wasn't the

  495. exempt of paying no taxes. It was finding the money when

  496. the taxes will do. And so I began to seek the Lord

  497. because I got some stuff coming up here pretty soon and I

  498. decided to do something a little different, okay?

  499. And and it's a it's some equipment that I need to get to

  500. the, the short company to the next level, and I already

  501. committed for it, some things that I had in my mind planned

  502. that we were going to use to pay for.

  503. It has not come into fruition yet.

  504. So I immediately thought. Okay lord, they're going to make

  505. a demand And I told him I'm going to pay him and I need you

  506. to tell me where it's at. So I'm going to give you the

  507. rest of the story because it's got to happen here pretty soon.

  508. And I'm going to, I am going to have it.

  509. I've already sold I taught you all year.

  510. So a seed name that seat. Did it done it.

  511. I did it months ago. All right.

  512. And you know, so I the question is, is little.

  513. Here's the problem though, is that we don't sit in the

  514. presence of the Lord long enough to find out the answer.

  515. You know, we're always trying to come up with the toil beaten

  516. banging around trying to figure out how to make money when he

  517. probably has a pretty good idea or something that we can do that

  518. would invoke something to happen to him about the particular

  519. needs that we have. Whether it's taxes, whether

  520. whatever it is and say, show me where it's at.

  521. I mean, you know, anybody can catch a multitude of fishes.

  522. Jesus tells you where to go. I mean, they fished all night

  523. and took nothing in Luke 5. And then because they were

  524. focused on the ministry of helping Jesus, get the message

  525. out, put him out in the little boat.

  526. He said go, he said, go get your nets that they were clean.

  527. And when he showed up, right, he said go get your nets and go

  528. into the deep and cast. All right?

  529. And they, he said nevertheless Lord at your word will do it the

  530. best day in the fishing business he'd ever had. and he had some

  531. Partners involved with him and you know and if you had more

  532. than one set of Partners, they probably would all come back

  533. with boats full of fish but Jesus has that ability that once

  534. we start focusing on the words of Our Lord, See.

  535. Jesus didn't just cause those fish to jump out of the water

  536. and up on the shore. He told them, he said, go out

  537. and here they are just gather them in.

  538. See. Sometimes, you know, we need to

  539. take a look at our gathering devices.

  540. What is your net look like, is it, is it streamline?

  541. I mean, have you got all the parts in it in operation?

  542. Are you taking care of things? Like you're counting?

  543. Are you taking care of things? Like, you know, you know your

  544. your delivery dates You know what?

  545. How are you administrating? And that's going to be one of

  546. the subjects that we talk about next year is Joseph's ability to

  547. administrate and how he got the job because he'd already been

  548. tested prior to seeing pharaoh and the question is, you know,

  549. the Lord usually I have found this to be true in even in my

  550. own life. The Lord only gives me what I

  551. can handle. so, if I want to handle more, I've got to prepare

  552. myself. And one of the things that took

  553. me from, you know, barely barely getting it.

  554. All right, back in Oklahoma was figuring out.

  555. I don't know what I'm doing about five about accounting, I

  556. don't know the story, I don't know what a p&l is.

  557. I don't know what a balance sheets for, I don't know these

  558. things. And once I got that education,

  559. then all of a sudden things started making sense but I had

  560. to, I had to increase myself. In order to, and I taught a

  561. series of when I first came down here, Matt, you may have been

  562. there for a weekend, I pastor had me, come down, and it was

  563. basically preparing yourself, you know, to handle more money.

  564. Well, the question is, first of all, you got to realize you

  565. truly are blessed according to the law.

  566. I'm thinking to myself, you put that in the law that if we would

  567. obey your words and pay attention to what you're telling

  568. us. Then all these things can come

  569. on us and overtake us. You made that a law like

  570. gravity. I mean, you know, when you throw

  571. something up, it's coming down. I mean, unless there's a miracle

  572. happening. All right, or you have an

  573. airplane right and but we know some of them have come down.

  574. They just you know, it wasn't the a gravity is absent, they're

  575. just another law that supersedes, gravity called lift

  576. and all things being equal, the thrust, the wing, the whole bit,

  577. you're going to fly. I mean some cool stuff, man.

  578. I'm following Josh from India to Helsinki and from Helsinki to

  579. New York, New York down here, you know, to Orlando.

  580. Mean, I could see it. I could the plant is just showed

  581. you every few minutes where the plane was pretty cool.

  582. But, you know that that way. Yeah.

  583. And did you know that the the law of lift has always been in

  584. existence? It just man had to get to the

  585. place that God could. Give it to him.

  586. So that's what our goal is next. Year is we got to get to the

  587. place that God can give it to us.

  588. It makes sense because we are blessed.

  589. According to the law said, The Blessing of Abraham will come on

  590. you. Why?

  591. Because of Jesus work. But here's the thing, are we

  592. listening? And I said it a second.

  593. Go, sometimes we don't sit down long enough and inquire and hear

  594. what the next step is. I mean, one word from God, I've

  595. heard it all my life. One word from God can change

  596. your life. And it's going to usually be for

  597. the better if you're doing, okay?

  598. Sometimes there's a word that he needs to get to you to

  599. straighten out your squirrely, messed up mind.

  600. But if we're under that, then you know what, we need to start

  601. speaking the blessing of God over our own lives.

  602. And reminding we know what you said.

  603. You said that. You'd bless all the work of my

  604. hands. You said, because he likes that.

  605. I understand, he said, come and let us reason together.

  606. Let's talk about what I said. He loves hearing it.

  607. I mean, I love it when I go with some buddies and I had to happen

  608. to me Sunday morning, I'm sitting there and they said my

  609. magic word nobody knows his word but me and it's the word Rabbit

  610. Trail and it seems like every time I hear the word Rabbit

  611. Trail, I am off and and and one question led to another

  612. question, I barely got the lesson done and, you know, and

  613. asking but the woman started quoting me.

  614. Well, let me remind you what you said.

  615. And she did it to me twice, two different, two different, you

  616. know, diffe. Well you once said and I had to

  617. say in myself I said that it's something that I've said to

  618. everybody forever and ever but I was thrilled that she remembered

  619. it. I mean as it means you're paying

  620. attention, that's one of the things.

  621. God gets out of bus if we can repeat to him.

  622. What the blessings are, we can repeat to him.

  623. What it is that he's done for us instead of talking about what

  624. our problems are everyday. And we say, you know what, I got

  625. this bill coming up or I got this other opportunity and the

  626. finances just aren't there, you know, Lord, I'm going to get

  627. with you until you tell me what the next step is.

  628. Because he owns it all my dad, your dad, he owns everything.

  629. And if we start talking like, he talks, guess what I think, we

  630. will start getting what he's got.

  631. Does that make sense? I mean, I don't want to be

  632. profound or nothing but I mean to me amazing thing is is that

  633. you know, we've got to quit looking at where we are and get

  634. back into the word and believe it.

  635. It said, you know, Abraham believed God and it was counted

  636. unto him as righteousness. What again, the righteous and it

  637. was counted unto him of being able to do what God does.

  638. Right standing. Not only that but how to do

  639. things, right? That's what I want to do.

  640. I want to do things, right? I don't want to be accused of

  641. well you know Randy's up down one day down the other day, you

  642. know, I want to I want to make sure that when it comes to

  643. believe in, God I'm constant, I'm consistent.

  644. I want to see what he has and I'm learning and growing.

  645. I'm only 10 years behind all y'all.

  646. All right, I mean I had some other things put my faith on for

  647. about 10 years and it took everything I had, you know, so

  648. now I got to get back to where I started before all that hit.

  649. And I've, you know, I've used the last two years just to, you

  650. know, to study to listen, you know, read many, many books and

  651. but I'm learning so much of just understanding the blessing of

  652. God. God, the blessing of God,

  653. five-minute guy, no matter what I tried to do, but let me pray

  654. over you, we're going to pray. I want you to believe God.

  655. And when we talk about, you know, the challenges, the one

  656. that I gave you, let's open up those paper Bibles, okay?

  657. And, and become students of the word again, and be able to, you

  658. know, take those notes and not only take them to refer to them.

  659. Okay, I remember when I came down here to oversee School of

  660. Life at the time, and that's before we changed it, and I In

  661. orientation and you know, and talk to the students before they

  662. were coming to school. And this is you know before

  663. pastor had got the message of that and I asked everybody I

  664. said, hey how did the summer go and really I went great.

  665. How many of you opened your notebooks and looked at them one

  666. time? Not one hand.

  667. I had somebody come up and said, I can't tell you how ashamed I

  668. was of myself. Because I had not done that and

  669. she said I'm going to go back tonight.

  670. I'm just going to look at a few things.

  671. I said, just peruse through it. You forgotten more than you

  672. wrote down guarantee you that, you know, but we want the

  673. blessing of God. Amen.

  674. Can we get it? Yeah, we can have it every bit

  675. of it. So, father, we thank you and

  676. praise you. Tonight, is we've gone through

  677. your word and we saw that you in the made the blessing that you

  678. have for us part of the law of the Kingdom.

  679. My father, it's not a matter of works.

  680. I know that there is a work that goes along with it because

  681. you're going to tell us to do something like you did even in

  682. Salvation. You told us to confess with our

  683. mouth and believe in our heart. Therefore we make Jesus Lord.

  684. Alright, but father tonight, everyone, that was able to

  685. attend tonight. I speak the blessing of the

  686. Lord. I want them to have everything

  687. that you have for them. I want them to spend time

  688. seeking you and find out. What's the next step for us?

  689. What are we going to do? What are we going to add?

  690. What are we going to take away? What is it?

  691. That you need. Father from us to.

  692. Koreans all that you have from your word.

  693. We're going to listen. We're going to obey and it's

  694. going to be very simple for us. In this next year to see your

  695. hand, moving our behalf and we will experience everything that

  696. you said in your word that we can have.

  697. We won't have a focus on it. Alright, we're going to listen

  698. to you on what we're supposed to do when it comes.

  699. And we want to thank you and praise you.

  700. That this is group is the given us a bunch of people that we've

  701. ever been involved with. We thank you and praise you for

  702. all that they've been able to put into the kingdom, but I know

  703. you have more for us. To do and we want to be

  704. recipients of that and we want to be givers of that.

  705. So we want to cash flow, Our Lives into your ministry and we
