Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now enjoy this message. One of the things that I want to
-
visit with tonight and I'm going to pray before we get started is
-
you know Lord has been dealing with me on some stuff just
-
getting us ready for next. Year, you know, having now, one
-
year behind us in the mall and taking a look at, you know, the
-
vision taking a, look at the cost of vision, all right?
-
The provision and everything that you know, I began to seek
-
the Lord about it. As far as you know, what is it
-
that you need us to do? What is it that you need from us
-
to be able to experience exactly what you planned?
-
When you told pastor this was we were going to have them all and
-
and we have it. All right?
-
So We're going to we're going to discuss some of that stuff at
-
tonight. All right.
-
So let's have a word of prayer and then we're going, it's going
-
to be Bible intensive. I'm going to take you through
-
the Bible tonight. All right, so let's pray father,
-
we thank you and praise you for the opportunity to come into
-
your presence. And as we wrap up the year 2022,
-
we thank you and praise you. That we want to prepare
-
ourselves to seek your face, like we never had before to
-
receive the blessings that you have for us to be able to
-
Enlighten us on everything that you have need that we do in
-
these last days. Father, we know that you've
-
given our pain and we just thinking pretty sure.
-
There's we go over to the word tonight that we would, we would
-
see one particular thing that we know you want us to have.
-
And it answers all the questions that we have in every Arena of
-
provision and finance and and wealth.
-
And those different things that you've laid out in your word,
-
for us is summed up in one word and we're going to find that out
-
tonight and we want to give you thanks for it in Jesus name.
-
Name. Amen.
-
Amen I am going all the way back to the Book of Genesis but I'm
-
going to go to the third chapter.
-
You got I was going to go to the first chapter.
-
All right, we're gonna go to the third chapter.
-
Because most of us know, the plan of creation that God had
-
and that he said, we're going to make man in our own image.
-
We are going to bless him. We're going to put him in the
-
you know we're going to put him in a garden.
-
He's going to dress it and keep it.
-
He gave him one commandment. He said don't eat of the tree in
-
the middle of the garden. The fruit of the tree of the
-
knowledge of Good and Evil. The day you eat it.
-
You will surely die. Okay.
-
Now we didn't say you will surely drop dead.
-
We know that he didn't die physically, he died spiritually.
-
All right, but we go to the Third.
-
Chapter after this event happens.
-
And they went, they were basically tricked by Satan.
-
Eve was and we come to the curses, okay, and God is looking
-
for, Adam, Adam is hit himself. He's made clothes out of fig.
-
Leaves God comes ask the question.
-
Okay, where are you Adam? All right, not that he didn't
-
know where he was. He just wanted to make sure Adam
-
knew he was in a place. He shouldn't be.
-
That's that's the point. So The question that that I've,
-
you know, I've always to ask is that when he he said that and he
-
began to he began to put the curses in effect, he cursed
-
Satan and or the serpent at the time, he cursed at childbearing
-
any. But do you remember what he
-
cursed with Adam? The soil of the ground.
-
He said in sorrow, now, you're going to have to work for your
-
provision. It was all about provision.
-
Do you remember that? Okay?
-
And then as so by the the work, the toil and we've called it had
-
a friend of mine that calls it, he said the Earth curse system
-
and that people enter in the earth curse system, working toil
-
and trying to figure out how to make a buck.
-
What's the next thing moving that we need to make a buck?
-
We need a buck. We got to have another Buck.
-
All right, how do we make the next Buck?
-
You know who's out there? Needing what we Nee, a, we can
-
do to get the buck and so the Earth care system.
-
It has that, that just that basically continual cycle that
-
happened. And, and here's what you need to
-
know that that particular lifestyle is Curse God, put it
-
in effect. Now we Joe gets off the arc and
-
then it says God said to him, I will no longer curse the ground
-
for man's sake. That is in opposition to what he
-
said to Adam. He said Adam the Sound is cursed
-
for your sake. Now because of you, this curse
-
has come on the earth, the provision and the fact that it's
-
not going to yield to you. It's Bounty like it once did is
-
curse and you did it but then he comes to Noah and he lets him
-
know after everything's cleaned up and we get to start over.
-
It said I will no longer and this is the eighth chapter of
-
Genesis. I'll no longer curse the ground
-
for man's sake and then you Art seeing things happen in men's
-
lives that. Let you know that we're seeing
-
some increase now. Immediately not not a good
-
ending story, Noah built, you know, planted a Vineyard and
-
said he got drunk, and all kind of crazy things happened after
-
that, but they begin to see it. So when we come from that, then
-
let's go to the 12th chapter. Okay?
-
And and next year, I'm going to encourage you.
-
This is this an early challenge, okay?
-
That last several times I've had a chance to minister and you
-
guys have been there all of you. I'm sure, you know, I picked up
-
a little campaign that Rick Renner had called Revival of the
-
Bible, right? And then what did I say Revival
-
of the paper Bible? All right, there you go.
-
She's getting my vibes already and it was across town, all
-
right? And so when we talk about that
-
and I made some comments, you know, on and Pastor it's funny
-
because I don't know if he listens to what we get up and
-
preach or not. I have to think that he does.
-
All right? I mean I just can't imagine him
-
just letting us all go. Whatever they bring, you know,
-
and, and I just can't imagine that.
-
But, you know, he said some things talking about people
-
scrolling on their phones while he's trying to preach.
-
And I mentioned that in my message, I said, listen, don't
-
you think the devil was smart enough that that time that the
-
minister is getting ready to say something that you've been
-
wondering about that. All of a sudden your phone on,
-
vibrate would go buddy. And there'd be something show up
-
on there. Somebody doesn't realize you're
-
in church and I've had that happen in for so many times and
-
then all of a sudden, you know, you get this hitch to answer And
-
the pastor still going on, but you're playing on your phone and
-
pastors calling people out. He knows the kids do it.
-
You know, I think he'd be shocked and out.
-
How many adults do it, all right, and I said just stop the
-
insanity of distraction and bring that paper Bible.
-
That's your first challenge for 2023 whenever we come together.
-
Pastors Ministry. Bring the paper Bible.
-
You need a cookie malli. I need a cookie.
-
She needs an all right. Bring your paper roll.
-
Bible. Now here's the thing, they've
-
spoiled Us Rotten Happening by putting it on screen, okay?
-
But the thing is is that you know this year I purposed in my
-
heart that I wasn't going to use my phone to follow along now,
-
every now and then I'll grab the phone because they say a word
-
that I want to know what the meaning is of it.
-
And I got an app that shows me every Greek and Hebrew word in
-
the Bible. So I use that as far as like,
-
you know, when he saying that particular word or whatever,
-
I'll immediate go to it, touch it, right?
-
Write it down in my notes. Okay.
-
Now, John George said something when we were here, he said your
-
pastor takes notes, all you men ought to be taking notes, okay?
-
And I'm not, I wouldn't know take her.
-
I I married one. Right?
-
I married a note-taker. All right and she takes really
-
good notes but can I be honest with you, I've never one time.
-
Looked at any her notes. I have not I mean, I'm watching
-
her right. Um, honey that's good.
-
Your handwriting still really good.
-
Yeah, but I've never sat down at any given time and opened that
-
up. Just see what she took.
-
So what goods that doing me. All right, so, you know, I came
-
up with anything I can get you a copy of.
-
It's called a little note taker tells me the date and whole bit
-
and I bring one in my Bible just like that.
-
And I just take, that's all the notes you're going to get is 12
-
pages, but I'm pretty precise. How I do my notes?
-
Because one, what do I want? I want all the scriptures.
-
Well, that's plenty enough. If they give us that many
-
scriptures, it fills up the one whole sheet, then we have got a
-
lot of scriptures, right? So yeah, yeah.
-
So yeah. So I want to encourage you, you
-
know, let's get back to the paper Bible and eliminate
-
distraction. Okay, can we do that?
-
Now, listen, I want to go to the next next part of talking.
-
Of the the Genesis chapter 12 and I'm going to read it to you.
Genesis 12 chapter mention
-
Genesis chapter 12 is so important because you know,
Genesis 12 chapter mention
-
learned quite a bit in the study this year of looking at it.
-
But this is, this is God coming to Abram at the time.
-
And it says, now, listen to what he says, and I'm going to point
-
out a few things that we need to remember and going into next
-
year, he said now the Lord said to Abram get thee out of thy
-
country and from thy Kindred, and from thy, father's house
-
with a bless you and I will Make your name great and you shall be
-
a blessing and I will bless them that bless you curse them that
-
curse you and in all the family and and in the all the families
-
of the Earth shall be blessed. Now, I think it's interesting
-
because the next verse says, Abram departed as as the Lord
-
had spoken to him. Immediately.
-
I mean, you know, as soon as he heard the Lord speak he took
-
off. But notice what he said in here.
-
He said, listen, I am going to bless you.
-
I want you to jot this word down in the Hebrew.
-
It is the word. Barack be a Rak Brock.
-
It basically is talking about the blessings and, and to a
-
point that you are well respected.
-
You know, you people will be able to notice that.
-
There's something about you. He said I'm going to bless you,
-
but then he said, I'm going to make You a blessing?
-
It's interesting. The words are different.
-
In the word, he's going to bless.
-
I Will Bless. You is a verb and the word.
-
You will be a blessing is a noun.
-
So, in order to get to the noun blessing, You've got to have the
-
action of being blessed. Okay, and we're going to see how
-
it comes every time. All right, so he's in here and
-
he says in there I'll make the great nation.
-
All Families, All Families, not just Jewish families, not just
-
Hebrew families. All right, all families of the
-
earth will be blessed because of you.
-
Now think about it. He told him I'm going to make
-
you a great nation. That was part of the blessing.
-
And if you think about it, when he's me, when he, when he told
-
him, I want to make you a blessing.
-
And again, think of how hard that was 21 receive that word.
-
Because how are you going to become a great nation?
-
If you can't even have kids, All right.
-
So there's going to be some Faith involved.
-
And what have we determined? Faith is Faith and just simply
-
believing their whatever God says is true.
-
And begin to act as if it's true.
-
Hopefully, next year. Pastoral let me do.
-
I been wanting to do a lesson on face greatest enemies, okay?
-
And one of the greatest enemies to Faith is failure to act like
-
the word is true. Most people act like, okay,
-
remember faith is not you know being in denial about the facts.
-
They simply calls things that be not as though they were okay, so
-
when we have Abram, we have him. He's going to be blessed.
-
Take a look. I've got just a couple of
-
scriptures in their, the 27th. Chapter of Genesis, we have the
-
account and this is hilarious. Really?
-
Because Isaac. Okay, we've got, you know, we
-
got Isaac Isaac's getting ready? He says he's dimming his side.
-
He can't see very good. He says this, I don't know when
-
I'm gonna die. But he says, if you will go and
-
he calls, Esau, he said if you'll go prepare venison for me
-
and everything. If you come back I will bless
-
you. I will give you the blessing.
-
What everybody knew what that was.
-
Everybody knew that he that is going to pronounce the blessing
-
on me. And so he leaves remember and it
-
says Rebecca heard it and told Jacob to go get, you know, go so
-
that we could prepare all of this, all right?
-
And then if you remember, he came, he came and he gave the
-
blessing to Jacob brother comes in later and and is all upset
-
because he ain't going to get the blessing.
-
Think about it. All the blessing was wrapped up
-
in what dad was going to speak over them.
-
That is what we need to know about the blessing of God.
-
It comes by him speaking over us.
-
One of my favorite stories in the Bible.
-
As far as accounts. Really not just a story.
-
Is Joseph. And next year, the first few
-
months I'm going to talk about some things that we can learn
-
from Joseph and his whole life that will encourage us and
-
increase us in our ability to handle more and more and more
-
provision. But tonight I want to look at
-
one little thing that was said about Joseph in the 39 chapter.
-
We find out is that Joseph was brought down from Egypt and
-
potiphar and officer of pharaoh like a captain of the guard in
-
Egyptian. Bought him from the hands of the
-
ishmaelites which had brought him down from where his father
-
was. Now I think it's interesting
-
because you know it says is he a captain of the Guard?
-
You know, you look that up and basically that word is defined
-
the Executioner. But what is interesting?
-
It also goes back to somebody that can handle.
-
Now I thought that was crazy but then I got to thinking about it.
-
Remember the two guys that got put into?
-
And it said the prison and and it and it has the appearance,
-
this was poppers prison. if you'll, if you reduce his prison
-
and he had two guys from the kitchen, In the prison.
-
So he might have been the chef. You know, and of course you
-
know, you're going to cleave some meat.
-
Then you'd probably say, you know what?
-
I got somebody, I need you to take care of.
-
And and they probably know how to execute pretty well, but I
-
thought that was an interesting because we've always had a
-
picture painted of a guy that was a soldier, but basically go
-
look that up is that, you know, the captain of the host is
-
there. He says, but let notice this, he
-
said and the Lord was with Joseph verse 2 and he was a
-
prosperous man and he was in the house of his master, the
-
Egyptian and his master saw that the Lord was with him and that
-
the Lord made. All that he did to prosper in
-
his hand and Joseph found Grace in his sight, and he served him
-
and he made him overseer over his house and all that.
-
He had put into his hand and then he goes on and he said, and
-
he came to pass that had made him overseer and over him.
-
And the Lord blessed the Egyptian house, that is the same
-
Greek Hebrew word of the word blessed.
-
When he said Abraham, I'm going to make you a blessing, the same
-
word but notice who got just, Potiphar got blessed because
-
that's exactly what it said. You said, the Lord blessed the
-
Egyptians house for Joseph's sake and blessed the blessing of
-
the Lord, excuse me. What's going on?
-
It was upon all that he had in the house and in the field so
-
all the provision that he had. All right, he attributed and
-
even noticed it was because of the blessing that was on his his
-
life. Now I think it's interesting
-
because, you know, we talked about prosperity and I've taught
-
on him for years. That the word Prosper here
-
doesn't mean the accumulation of things because he had no things.
-
His brothers didn't tell him, you know, hang on a second and
-
we're going to pack you some bags.
-
Okay? You're going to need something
-
because you're going on a trip. The only thing he had was the
-
clothes on his back and some chains.
-
And they delivered him down there as a slave.
-
So when he gets into this guy's house, it said that the Lord was
-
with him and that what the Lord made all that he did the Lord
-
made all that. He did prosper in his hand and
-
he said he found Grace in his sight but it said the Lord
-
blessed his house. And so we see again, what it is
-
say All Families will be blessed because of you.
-
And the Simplicity of all that we understand about Abram going
-
to Abraham, alright is the fact he heard God, tell him
-
something, he believed it and they're acted on it.
-
And the blessing came. All right, the activity came, I
-
don't see Abram as far as, you know, somebody.
-
I mean, think about it. You know, he gets into a
-
situation with his nephew lot, what was it about?
-
You know, I don't like your hair color.
-
I don't like the clothes. You wear, I don't like it was
-
all about their provision, their flocks and their herds man could
-
not get along with each other. So they had to make a split.
-
They had so much substance. So, God is basically, In him and
-
continual, bless him, bless him. Now, it's getting down to the
-
kids, even Jacob. I mean, when it came time the
-
Lord was blessing him and told him, I'm going to bless you.
-
I'm going to take care of you until I bring you back to your
-
father's house in peace. And so we see we see them
-
blessing but here's a scripture that I just been meditating, I
-
encourage you to do the same. Its proverbs 10 verse 22.
-
And isn't what it says. The blessing of the Lord maketh
-
rich and adds no sorrow with it. The word sorrow is from the same
-
root as the word sorrow in Genesis, when the Lord put a
-
curse or God put a curse on the land and told Adam listen
-
Because Of You, the ground is cursed and now through sorrow,
-
you will cultivate and try to reap a harvest the rest of your
-
life. The word sorrow.
-
There is the word worrisome. so when we, when we take a look and
-
we get into worry, we're entering back into a curse.
-
That God never intended as have. But he said the blessing of the
-
Lord maketh rich and adds no sorrow.
-
No, worry. And again toil or or hard labor
-
to it. How do we know that?
-
Because we look at Jesus teachings, what'd he say, don't
-
worry about what you're going to eat drink or where your father
-
knows, it knows you have Nina the Lord.
-
Let's talk a little bit about the blessing of the Lord,
-
because believe it or not, it is already been spoken over us.
-
Galatians chapter 3. Paul writing to the church at
Galatians 3 chapter mention
-
galatia. And I think this is interesting
-
the requirements of getting the blessing.
-
Activated in our live very, very, very simple.
-
In Galatians chapter 3 in verse 13.
Galatians 3 chapter mention
-
Listen to this Christ has redeemed us from the curse of
-
the law being made a curse for us for it is written.
-
Cursed, is everyone that hangs on a tree that The Blessing of
-
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ
-
that we might receive the promise of the spirit through
-
faith. two things he's talking about there one, The Blessing of
-
Abraham, And two, he's talking the promise of the spirit but
-
notice is it's both through faith.
-
And what again is faith, faith is ability to hear God and
-
believe it and begin to conduct your life.
-
According to what God has said So when he says in there, that
-
he ate, Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the law.
-
He said that the blessing of Abraham, okay.
-
We all know, but we're going to look at tonight, The Blessing of
-
Abraham. Now it's interesting because I
-
had to ask a question, you put the blessing of Abraham in the
-
law. It just wasn't a document out
-
here floating around somewhere and hope you get a copy of it.
-
It was actually put in the law in Deuteronomy 28.
-
All right now, all I'm going to focus on is the first 15 verses
-
but I want to take a look at it. But the thing that I want to
-
point out is the very, very, very first part of the chapter,
-
okay? Because this is how we can
-
invoke and get the blessing of God to operate in our lives and
-
it is found in verse 1 and it It shall come to pass if you will
-
hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord, your God to observe
-
to do all of this Commandments, which I command you this day,
-
that the Lord thy God will set the high above all the nations
-
of the earth. And all of these blessings will
-
come on you and overtake you, if you will hearken unto the voice
-
of the Lord, your God, he listened and obeyed.
-
Now, it's interesting in the Hebrew.
-
The word harken. Is the same word for obey.
-
In the Hebrew. So in other words, when God
-
tells us something he doesn't tell us with an option.
-
Even though being free moral agents, we can we can take an
-
option. But he said, if you will hearken
-
diligently to the voice of the Lord, your God, and he puts that
-
word, if in there, you know, if then you shall hearken, all
-
right? If is a conditional word, you
-
may or may not choose to do it, but if you choose to do it, And
-
you Harkin and you obey of all the words that are coming out of
-
his mouth and instruction and in in, you know, Commandments that
-
he has for us. Then he tells us in verse 2.
-
He said, and, and all these blessings will come on you and
-
overtake you. If you hearken to the voice of
-
the Lord, your God and he begins to talk and he said blessed,
-
you'll be in the city bless you'll be in the field.
-
Blessed, shall be the fruit of your body, the fruit of your
-
ground, the fruit of your cattle and the increase of that.
-
And the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed, shall your basket?
-
Be your basket in your store, blessed?
-
Shall you be when you come in and blessed?
-
Shall you be when you go out, the Lord will cause your enemies
-
that rise up against you to be smitten before your face, and
-
you shall come out against. They will come out against you
-
one way, but flee, before you 7 and the Lord shall command the
-
blessing. Here's what we need to
-
understand. It's not a blessing, it's the
-
blessing. The blessing of the Lord, not a
-
blessing of the Lord. It's the blessing of the Lord.
-
Maketh Rich. All right.
-
He said the Lord shall command his blessing upon you and your
-
Storehouse is in all that you set your hand to do.
-
And He will bless you in the land which the Lord has given
-
you. He will establish you as a holy
-
people to himself as he is sworn in to the if That's Rapture
-
practice. What in the world, Thou shalt
-
keep the Commandments of the Lord thy God and walk in his way
-
and all the people of the Earth shall see that you are called by
-
the name of the Lord, and that you should, and they shall be
-
afraid of you. And the Lord will make you
-
plenteous in Goods in the fruit of your body and the fruit of
-
your cattle, the fruit of your ground, the land, which the
-
Lord, swear unto the fathers to give you.
-
He said, and the Lord shall open to you, his good treasure having
-
to give rain in the land in his season.
-
To bless all the work of your hand.
-
You will lend a many nations. You shall narc.
-
If you, that you hearken to the Commandments of the Lord thy
-
God, which I command you this day and he said, and you shall
-
not go aside from it, any of The Words, which I command thee this
-
day, to the right hand, or the left to go after gods and serve
-
them. And that is the end of the
-
blessing, verse 15, through 68. Is a curses.
-
Okay. So how do you get the cursors
-
exactly in opposition to what he just told you?
-
I mean I'm not the brightest guy in the world but I have figured
-
out that hanging with God and doing what God says gets me on
-
his good side. Right.
-
But think about that, he gives all these and and the majority
-
of them in there are provision. Protection.
-
I mean, you know, if you got an enemy coming against you, you
-
know, one way and he says, they'll be smitten before your
-
face. I'm going to meditate on that a
-
little bit, especially the day in which we live.
-
I mean, you know, I he said they'll flee before you said,
-
but the key is, is following his words because this is what we
-
really, really, really want to realize is that Blessings come
-
out of the mouth. That's how Isaac was going to
-
bless Esau, and he ended up blessing.
-
How do you do it? He began to speak the words of
-
blessing and let him know this is what you can have.
-
That's why Paul wrote. He's had all the promises of God
-
are. Yes and amen.
-
So the thing we got to ask the question is, are we pursuing or
-
learning or educating? When he said, seek first, the
-
kingdom of God and his righteousness, the word seek in
-
there is a Greek words that a 0 and it just simply means to make
-
an inquiry. It's not God playing hide and
-
seek. Okay I hope you guys find me.
-
I imagine he'd be a pretty good Hider okay you know but he said
-
that's not it. The words until means to inquire
-
to form an investigation. So he says seek first the The
-
kingdom. In other words, investigate the
-
kingdom, inquire about the kingdom, ask questions about the
-
kingdom, And God's righteousness.
-
I like the I like the Amplified because it said God's way of
-
being and doing right. So every situation that we find
-
ourselves in, if we begin to speak the blessing of God over
-
us and and, you know, I've been meditating some things about,
-
you know, bills that are due and different things like that.
-
And you know the the guys at the temple, ask Peter, does your
-
master pay tribute or not? And you remember he went and he
-
goes, yes, he pays tribute and he went into where Jesus and the
-
other guys were and it said Jesus prevented him or stopped
-
him. And made a comment to him, he's
-
a Peter. And I'm thinking how Off the
-
Wall, he said, Peter, he said when the Kings or the
-
magistrates of the world decided to pay taxes.
-
He said, do they go after their family or do?
-
They go after strength strangers.
-
And he goes, well, they go after strangers and he said, so then
-
he said, basically the family is exempt.
-
And he said so but that we don't offend them.
-
Go down to the Sea cast in a hook.
-
The first fish that comes out, open his mouth, they'll be a
-
gold coin in there and Jesus said, go and pay the taxes for
-
me and thee. And so on.
-
I got to thinking about that. I said, you know, Lord, I said
-
when it comes to 0 and taxes, I said you, you know, you told
-
Peter that the children of the kingdom are exempt.
-
I said, how can I get that activated?
-
But you know what? It wasn't a, it wasn't the
-
exempt of paying no taxes. It was finding the money when
-
the taxes will do. And so I began to seek the Lord
-
because I got some stuff coming up here pretty soon and I
-
decided to do something a little different, okay?
-
And and it's a it's some equipment that I need to get to
-
the, the short company to the next level, and I already
-
committed for it, some things that I had in my mind planned
-
that we were going to use to pay for.
-
It has not come into fruition yet.
-
So I immediately thought. Okay lord, they're going to make
-
a demand And I told him I'm going to pay him and I need you
-
to tell me where it's at. So I'm going to give you the
-
rest of the story because it's got to happen here pretty soon.
-
And I'm going to, I am going to have it.
-
I've already sold I taught you all year.
-
So a seed name that seat. Did it done it.
-
I did it months ago. All right.
-
And you know, so I the question is, is little.
-
Here's the problem though, is that we don't sit in the
-
presence of the Lord long enough to find out the answer.
-
You know, we're always trying to come up with the toil beaten
-
banging around trying to figure out how to make money when he
-
probably has a pretty good idea or something that we can do that
-
would invoke something to happen to him about the particular
-
needs that we have. Whether it's taxes, whether
-
whatever it is and say, show me where it's at.
-
I mean, you know, anybody can catch a multitude of fishes.
-
Jesus tells you where to go. I mean, they fished all night
-
and took nothing in Luke 5. And then because they were
-
focused on the ministry of helping Jesus, get the message
-
out, put him out in the little boat.
-
He said go, he said, go get your nets that they were clean.
-
And when he showed up, right, he said go get your nets and go
-
into the deep and cast. All right?
-
And they, he said nevertheless Lord at your word will do it the
-
best day in the fishing business he'd ever had. and he had some
-
Partners involved with him and you know and if you had more
-
than one set of Partners, they probably would all come back
-
with boats full of fish but Jesus has that ability that once
-
we start focusing on the words of Our Lord, See.
-
Jesus didn't just cause those fish to jump out of the water
-
and up on the shore. He told them, he said, go out
-
and here they are just gather them in.
-
See. Sometimes, you know, we need to
-
take a look at our gathering devices.
-
What is your net look like, is it, is it streamline?
-
I mean, have you got all the parts in it in operation?
-
Are you taking care of things? Like you're counting?
-
Are you taking care of things? Like, you know, you know your
-
your delivery dates You know what?
-
How are you administrating? And that's going to be one of
-
the subjects that we talk about next year is Joseph's ability to
-
administrate and how he got the job because he'd already been
-
tested prior to seeing pharaoh and the question is, you know,
-
the Lord usually I have found this to be true in even in my
-
own life. The Lord only gives me what I
-
can handle. so, if I want to handle more, I've got to prepare
-
myself. And one of the things that took
-
me from, you know, barely barely getting it.
-
All right, back in Oklahoma was figuring out.
-
I don't know what I'm doing about five about accounting, I
-
don't know the story, I don't know what a p&l is.
-
I don't know what a balance sheets for, I don't know these
-
things. And once I got that education,
-
then all of a sudden things started making sense but I had
-
to, I had to increase myself. In order to, and I taught a
-
series of when I first came down here, Matt, you may have been
-
there for a weekend, I pastor had me, come down, and it was
-
basically preparing yourself, you know, to handle more money.
-
Well, the question is, first of all, you got to realize you
-
truly are blessed according to the law.
-
I'm thinking to myself, you put that in the law that if we would
-
obey your words and pay attention to what you're telling
-
us. Then all these things can come
-
on us and overtake us. You made that a law like
-
gravity. I mean, you know, when you throw
-
something up, it's coming down. I mean, unless there's a miracle
-
happening. All right, or you have an
-
airplane right and but we know some of them have come down.
-
They just you know, it wasn't the a gravity is absent, they're
-
just another law that supersedes, gravity called lift
-
and all things being equal, the thrust, the wing, the whole bit,
-
you're going to fly. I mean some cool stuff, man.
-
I'm following Josh from India to Helsinki and from Helsinki to
-
New York, New York down here, you know, to Orlando.
-
Mean, I could see it. I could the plant is just showed
-
you every few minutes where the plane was pretty cool.
-
But, you know that that way. Yeah.
-
And did you know that the the law of lift has always been in
-
existence? It just man had to get to the
-
place that God could. Give it to him.
-
So that's what our goal is next. Year is we got to get to the
-
place that God can give it to us.
-
It makes sense because we are blessed.
-
According to the law said, The Blessing of Abraham will come on
-
you. Why?
-
Because of Jesus work. But here's the thing, are we
-
listening? And I said it a second.
-
Go, sometimes we don't sit down long enough and inquire and hear
-
what the next step is. I mean, one word from God, I've
-
heard it all my life. One word from God can change
-
your life. And it's going to usually be for
-
the better if you're doing, okay?
-
Sometimes there's a word that he needs to get to you to
-
straighten out your squirrely, messed up mind.
-
But if we're under that, then you know what, we need to start
-
speaking the blessing of God over our own lives.
-
And reminding we know what you said.
-
You said that. You'd bless all the work of my
-
hands. You said, because he likes that.
-
I understand, he said, come and let us reason together.
-
Let's talk about what I said. He loves hearing it.
-
I mean, I love it when I go with some buddies and I had to happen
-
to me Sunday morning, I'm sitting there and they said my
-
magic word nobody knows his word but me and it's the word Rabbit
-
Trail and it seems like every time I hear the word Rabbit
-
Trail, I am off and and and one question led to another
-
question, I barely got the lesson done and, you know, and
-
asking but the woman started quoting me.
-
Well, let me remind you what you said.
-
And she did it to me twice, two different, two different, you
-
know, diffe. Well you once said and I had to
-
say in myself I said that it's something that I've said to
-
everybody forever and ever but I was thrilled that she remembered
-
it. I mean as it means you're paying
-
attention, that's one of the things.
-
God gets out of bus if we can repeat to him.
-
What the blessings are, we can repeat to him.
-
What it is that he's done for us instead of talking about what
-
our problems are everyday. And we say, you know what, I got
-
this bill coming up or I got this other opportunity and the
-
finances just aren't there, you know, Lord, I'm going to get
-
with you until you tell me what the next step is.
-
Because he owns it all my dad, your dad, he owns everything.
-
And if we start talking like, he talks, guess what I think, we
-
will start getting what he's got.
-
Does that make sense? I mean, I don't want to be
-
profound or nothing but I mean to me amazing thing is is that
-
you know, we've got to quit looking at where we are and get
-
back into the word and believe it.
-
It said, you know, Abraham believed God and it was counted
-
unto him as righteousness. What again, the righteous and it
-
was counted unto him of being able to do what God does.
-
Right standing. Not only that but how to do
-
things, right? That's what I want to do.
-
I want to do things, right? I don't want to be accused of
-
well you know Randy's up down one day down the other day, you
-
know, I want to I want to make sure that when it comes to
-
believe in, God I'm constant, I'm consistent.
-
I want to see what he has and I'm learning and growing.
-
I'm only 10 years behind all y'all.
-
All right, I mean I had some other things put my faith on for
-
about 10 years and it took everything I had, you know, so
-
now I got to get back to where I started before all that hit.
-
And I've, you know, I've used the last two years just to, you
-
know, to study to listen, you know, read many, many books and
-
but I'm learning so much of just understanding the blessing of
-
God. God, the blessing of God,
-
five-minute guy, no matter what I tried to do, but let me pray
-
over you, we're going to pray. I want you to believe God.
-
And when we talk about, you know, the challenges, the one
-
that I gave you, let's open up those paper Bibles, okay?
-
And, and become students of the word again, and be able to, you
-
know, take those notes and not only take them to refer to them.
-
Okay, I remember when I came down here to oversee School of
-
Life at the time, and that's before we changed it, and I In
-
orientation and you know, and talk to the students before they
-
were coming to school. And this is you know before
-
pastor had got the message of that and I asked everybody I
-
said, hey how did the summer go and really I went great.
-
How many of you opened your notebooks and looked at them one
-
time? Not one hand.
-
I had somebody come up and said, I can't tell you how ashamed I
-
was of myself. Because I had not done that and
-
she said I'm going to go back tonight.
-
I'm just going to look at a few things.
-
I said, just peruse through it. You forgotten more than you
-
wrote down guarantee you that, you know, but we want the
-
blessing of God. Amen.
-
Can we get it? Yeah, we can have it every bit
-
of it. So, father, we thank you and
-
praise you. Tonight, is we've gone through
-
your word and we saw that you in the made the blessing that you
-
have for us part of the law of the Kingdom.
-
My father, it's not a matter of works.
-
I know that there is a work that goes along with it because
-
you're going to tell us to do something like you did even in
-
Salvation. You told us to confess with our
-
mouth and believe in our heart. Therefore we make Jesus Lord.
-
Alright, but father tonight, everyone, that was able to
-
attend tonight. I speak the blessing of the
-
Lord. I want them to have everything
-
that you have for them. I want them to spend time
-
seeking you and find out. What's the next step for us?
-
What are we going to do? What are we going to add?
-
What are we going to take away? What is it?
-
That you need. Father from us to.
-
Koreans all that you have from your word.
-
We're going to listen. We're going to obey and it's
-
going to be very simple for us. In this next year to see your
-
hand, moving our behalf and we will experience everything that
-
you said in your word that we can have.
-
We won't have a focus on it. Alright, we're going to listen
-
to you on what we're supposed to do when it comes.
-
And we want to thank you and praise you.
-
That this is group is the given us a bunch of people that we've
-
ever been involved with. We thank you and praise you for
-
all that they've been able to put into the kingdom, but I know
-
you have more for us. To do and we want to be
-
recipients of that and we want to be givers of that.
-
So we want to cash flow, Our Lives into your ministry and we
-
thank you and we praise you for it in Jesus name.
