Pastor Craig Hagin - Guest Minister Nov. 16, 2022

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

from st. Augustine Florida.

Now enjoyed this message. It's good to be in the house of

the Lord. Amen.

For some of you, it's going to be a surprise.

We have a guest speaker tonight. Amen.

And so, Oh, um, Pastor Craig text me while I was actually in

Mexico. I think I just flown into

Mexico, and he texts me and he said, hey, I'm going to be in

Florida for a few days. Give me a call.

I want to talk to you. So I said, okay, just landed in.

Mexico, give me a couple hours and I'll call you.

He said, no, it's not. You don't have to call me back

now, you know, you can wait. And so when we were there, he

was telling me about this particular Expo that they were

coming down to Orlando to see. He said, man, you really ought

to go. You own them all Now, so my wife

and I purchased some tickets to go down there and guys I have

found a carousel. Do you understand if we buy

Carousel, we will be Hometown Heroes.

So, y'all going to get in faith with me over a carousel.

Hallelujah. I don't tell you how big it is.

Do you know, they make double decker.

Carousels. Right.

There is only one triple-decker on the planet in Argentina.

I it's only a measly million dollars.

We've raised that before though. I'm not anticipating getting a

Triple Decker, but it was impressive with an elevator.

Wow, anyway, you know, we just kind of have it in our heart

that we should bring the carousel back.

The Saint Augustine. Hey Beth.

So we're looking we're seeing some prices.

If they build us, one brand-new today to take about a year so

it's going to take some time, obviously that's fine, but we'll

keep you updated, you know, we just want 45,000 dollars for

carpet right now. That's a little more important

for us, right? So we're going to so towards

that, but anyway, we went down, there was a great time and it

was awesome. So he was like, you know, I'm

coming to Florida and he says, you know, I know pastor Pastors

wanted me to come. I said, well call them first,

you know, I said, but you know, nobody has room.

You can come preach for us. So he's laying hands on people,

it Call to Arms. All right, is in the healing

line, laying hands on people, ministering to them and we get

back to the Green Room. He said, the lord gave me a

message for anchor. Faith Church while I was laying

hands on people. I said, well, I guess you're

coming. Anchor Faith.

So let's give a warm water for Pastor Craig.

As he comes in Minnesota. Amen.

Amen, you may be seated. Now, it's glad to be here in

Florida. It's cold at home by the way.

Actually, we came to Orlando on Monday, Landing here about 4:00

and it started to snow flurries at home.

It was like it was like 33 degrees so it didn't stick or

anything. But it's been cold and rainy and

I must be cold and rainy again. I'm glad I'm actually in Florida

all the way through Sunday. So I mean, so anyway, so let's

pray. They will talk about the Mets

fights best. It's Heavenly Father.

We just thank you, we praise you.

We magnify your name. We thank you, Father, for each

and every person that's In this room, we thank you.

First of all, that you have a plan and a purpose for their

life and we thank you that they will fulfill that plan that

purpose. We thank you Father tonight as

we go to study your word that you're where we're not return

void. But father God, that word will

penetrate the hearts and the lives of each and every one of

us and help us to be a doer of the word and not just a hearer

only, but we thank you that most of all will take forth the word

that we hear the spring Force life on the inside of us.

And we'll go out to the highways and the byways and we'll share a

love of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying and hurting World.

Father God, we thank you for a Revival to this nation.

We thank you for Revival to this city.

We thank you, Father, for Revival to this generation.

We thank you, Father, for signs wonders, Miracles, and healing

taking place in our myths. And we thank you that we come

not in their own strength. We come not their own power, we

come not their own ability, we come and your strength and your

power. And your bill is that you be

lifted up and we thank you, Father, for the holy spirit that

is big on the inside of it, that leads us and guides us and shows

us away. And gives us a chance to speak.

With all boldness, uncompromising Gospel of Christ.

But most of all father we thank you for the anointing of God

this present tonight and we thank you.

If anyone is here tonight, just going through any kind of

situation whether we physical Financial spiritual emotional or

whatever. It might be, we thank you that

that anointing will minister to them, that anointing will set

them free that anointing will heal them.

And we just thank you for everything you have done and

everything. You are doing both here and

around the world and we give you the praise, your arm, the glory

in Jesus Christ's name we pray. Amen.

And amen. God is a good God, Amen.

Amen. Amen.

So excited to be here on her own.

I talk quite quite frequently or text quite frequently and it's I

mean, I'm excited about what's going on, acre, Faith Church.

In fact, I've already been trying to spend money all week,

like, I got you guys massage chairs today.

True true. True story.

True story. There's my mom bought a massage

chair and so I'm I'm laying his massage chair and I'm looking at

this. This thing pop up and it says No

upfront fees and said you can make as much as fifty five

thousand dollars a year and I'm like, so after I got through I'm

I saw the coin operated ones and I said, okay my friend just

bought a mall and he wants a massage chairs in the mall.

What are we gonna do? He goes oh it's no cost to you

and then that they just share in the profits or whatever.

So every time you guys get a massage and the massage chair,

then anchor face Church makes half the money that so so you

only get you know you're so um and we got four massage chairs

coming and they say a massage chair can earn up to 55,000

dollars a year. I mean obviously it has to be

used quite frequently. What is a dollar a dollar for

three minutes or five dollars? I think it's 15 or 12 12 minutes

something like that. And so think about that if you

go to the massage chair and you pay five dollars for 12 or 15

minutes, anchor Faith Church gets to 50 back.

So so you know you can Get a massage and give and whatever.

So, now, if you really want a really good massage that, you

know, you can buy a super-duper chair and I'm sure they'll give

us the they'll give him a finder's fee for finding the

people or whatever it is. But it's like nine thousand

dollars for the super do for side but it's awesome.

I will say it's awesome and in any way.

But but no, actually while we're in school before he got there I

already have all kinds of ideas how you could do.

But um, so we're Bible says, don't know where, but we were.

Men's Conference. And I'm go over here in this

corner over here and all of a sudden, you know, Lord begins to

talk to me. It was, you know about it.

Actually, why I'm doing what I'm doing, the healing line.

And so what he said, was this time for you guys to go to

another level said, you know what, what happens a lot of

times when a church, you know, has a project and they get, you

know, you know, in this case, I mean for five years, you guys

been been believing for a mall. Well, you got them all but you

know what the malls not done yet.

As you said the malls, not done yet.

Now it's time to get that mall done because see a church to be

about the community but also malls about the community, it's

about the community coming together, you know, to have a

place for the community. It's a great thing for each.

He said this was a, you know, Outreach.

I mean, you know, the mall is going to be outraged, but you

know what? It ain't gonna do nothing until

we fix them all. You know, because a lot of times

our mentality, what happens is. Oh man, we got them all, praise

God, five years, we got them all but you just got them all the

malls. Not to the place where God wants

it to be, to move forward to, to where God wants us to go to, to

win people, to change the city. I mean, you know, we're just

talking, we went to visit them all and talking about whether

the the one person I guess CrossFit.

Now, they're coming to church because they came to the mall.

I mean, you know how many of my people I just, you know, No.

Well okay, we have them most of you probably maybe don't if you

ever get a chance to come to Tulsa during Christmas light

season or from from alright Pastor all didn't put it to this

as phone on silent how to make sure my side.

Yeah. Of all people, you know, too.

You gotta understand we have been, are you?

Or are you gonna FaceTime? He's over here FaceTime in the

middle of a message. Can we at least let everybody

talk to him? I mean you know you know I did

that one time with my mom, I was teaching class and I know my mom

knew it was to teach class and so then you know I'm like you

know, you know so she's calling and I told my class I said, I'm

sorry I don't want to it has to be Each, you know.

So I'm going to answer, so I answered right in class, you

know, and, you know, I'm talking to, you know, Monica and I had

our speakerphone, by the way to. And so the whole class could

hear and then she found that I was just oh I forgot your.

I mean it was it wasn't that important.

She just forgot to take the class although she I had talked

to her like ten minutes before took went to class, so it's

like, yeah, it's interesting people get busy, they don't know

what's going on. So now, I've lost my whole train

of thinking to her ear. So God gave us some also What

are we gonna do with it? And see that?

That's the thing about it. One time you he says that we

reach our faith project and then we're like OK, you know, because

we're patting yourself on the back and then, the economy goes

bet. You see, we're not living in

Gaza. Mean we're living in God's

economy, not man's economy, you know?

And, and I know we had the election Lexington for Duane

great. I was will let you know, thank

you for for thank you, Florida company, but, you know, overall

things didn't turn out. Now, Oklahoma, we were all red

but, you know, but But things didn't really turn out like

whatever and then you know, the most forget about what came on.

The most frustrating thing for me is whenever they interview

our president, he says, well are you going to change anything?

Absolutely not, we're not changing anything.

What, you know, I don't know about you but when you pray for

this country but you know what, it's not in the government, we

trust, it's in God, we trust and if you want to that was, you

know, actually God showed me because like I think I got one.

Um, I know, I know I got plenty of them.

Because I went to the ATM machine actually have cash.

Twenty dollar bill has a picture of the White House, but on top

of the White House, it says, in God, we trust and I want you to

understand because a lot of people, you know, they say well

of course I guess he's trying to come back but but, you know say

well President Trump was back in blah blah.

We don't put Faith in our present with my faith in our God

no it's good to have a Godly present him.

But the other side about it is, you know, the president, no

matter how God they can't be the only president for eight years,

technically your professor for 10 years.

If you know, Civic. But anyway, that's a whole

nother story, not going to get into it because sometimes the

president dies, vice president takes over.

If it's if it's less than two years that I can go for, you can

actually be present for 10 years.

So now you might have learned something that you didn't know

before. I listened in eighth grade

civics but maybe you didn't. But anyway, so hold on a thing

but our faith should be in God, you know, but a lot of times

what happens is whenever God does something for us, whether

its individual, whether it's a church because you realize the

church is not, this is not the pastors church.

This is your church. Well, this church also owns a

mall. So this is your mall.

It's your mom. I mean, it's so you need to get

them all Vision. Now, you need to but, you know,

but I don't want you have mulvey's.

I want you have Outreach visit because it's about our reach.

And so I was telling my mom about about this sermon in my

mom goes, well, your dad has a sermon called them going to the

next level. Now look, he has all kinds of, I

got this last night, okay? Last night, I haven't really had

a whole Time to go through this stuff for a couple hours when

we're driving here, but I'm going to use some of his notes

and then some of the things that I have on the inside and we're

putting this thing, he used a new new live in the new ni the

NIV version so. But anyway, he says, you know,

his thing I want to talk to you today about going to the next

level. I believe it's time for anchor.

Faith Church to go to a new level and operation resources

and numbers. See it's not just about numbers

but never thing you know what the thing Thing about it is, you

know, churches, I know churches that want to have more people.

I don't care whether you have more people, you know, I want

you to have more people that are not going to church.

You know in Tulsa it's really popular to have transplanted

churches. They were going to one church.

Now they're going to your church.

There's still the kingdom of God hasn't grown.

This one congregation has less people in your congregation has

more people. That's all that Matt's all they

happen, but that's not sending more people to Heaven.

Because you know, we need to meet, you know, it should be

about Outreach. It should be about Community.

I mean, this mall should be about the community.

Like I said, the great thing about it and I heard the story

about the carousel, Carousel, I mean to bring back, you know,

that that stuff, you know, to the city, who would be awesome.

Now, to pay for the carousel, like, you guys used to have is

awesome as well. I just want to let you know,

it's in a cheap. I mean, he'll you can get a

small kitchen Carousel for a lot less money and put it on these

care of those carousels. Our main ones.

Remain, France, right? Or something like that.

I mean, I mean, we're not talking about the make him a

Target down the street or something.

We're talking about. I mean, they're like handmade,

you know, overseas. In fact, that is one of the

interesting things. We call this a roller coaster

conventions when my mom called a long time ago.

So, Basically all these coasters that they're building a theme

parks, they have mock-ups here at that convention.

So we saw coming soon attractions and all kinds of

stuff and actually I rode some some stuff today.

Really cool stuff actually a me but it's not high stuff because

it's all inside the building but but it was better than thinking

them Carousel. Just goes around, you know,

this, I was now, anyone remember that the skid things that they

have the well they just have Red Baron.

There are Things like the Red Baron type airplanes.

Well, they have a new one. Now, it's Red Baron.

You have a controller and you can flip the thing upside.

They do 360s and stuff. And it's really cool, you know?

And we can get you can get one of those for the parking lot

too. I mean I I even there's a

monster truck that only two hundred eighty five thousand

dollars you have them on. You can have a Gravedigger

Monster Truck that goes through. Virtual reality things, all

kinds of stuff and get plenty of parklife.

I even told Earl we can build your roller coaster in the

parking lot, you know? I actually had a joke because

you know we have we have a big Ray Moran 380 Acres of whatever

I said we should build a roller coaster, they're called it the

demon drop or something like that or anyway.

You know. Anyway, you know, Isaiah 55 89.

I'm going to read from the NIV cousin dad's notes here.

It says, where my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are

your ways, my ways declares the Lord as the heavens are higher

than the earth. So are my ways higher than your

ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts, you know what,

God has more for us, you know, then then we have today, he

wants us to do more, he has higher thoughts, he has Your

ways. And so what we have to do is we

have to not think about our ways and our thoughts, because he,

our thoughts, and our ways are confined to money.

Confined to. Well, I don't know how you could

do that. I don't know how you could do

this or, you know, money time Ali.

I mean, that's that. That's I mean, look how long it

took us to get them all. I mean now we got to fix this

thing up and I have all these kind of things and whatever you

know. But God wants each and every one

of us to experience is best better than what we have.

You know what God wants to use you, to make a difference in

people's life? And you know what he told me

was, it's about Outreach, it's about Community, you need to

think about community and oh, it's about the community about

changing this community. And, you know, I don't know.

I just been really stirred up about, you know, there's people

that are dying and going to hell.

Right here in this city right here in this city.

I mean, you are people that used to be in church and that now and

I tell you what I mean, you know, course I know didn't

really affect you hold, but this whole covid thing, got people

out of the mentality, it going to church and some of the pump

people aren't even. I mean.

Now we do have people, I know because I was actually talking

to a guy and he actually quoted my sermon to me.

So I know he watched But we have a lot of people that say they

attend your video church but they don't watch their there,

you know, somewhere else, you know, they're at the beach, not

in Tulsa they can't go to the beach so you know but then go

the lake. Anyway, but you know, here we

see that God's thoughts are different than man's thoughts

because they are thoughts of another level.

And so we need to have higher thoughts.

If you want to have higher thoughts, we have to think at a

higher level, you know, it's possible for you to know what

God is thinking. He has written his thoughts in

the word of God. So we can know his thoughts.

You know. God wants you as an individual.

This is Anchor. Faith Church and Mall 21:21, you

know, corporately to Think his thoughts because they represent

what God, where God wants to take us?

Not where we are. You know, I mean, right now, I

mean, I, I told are all this. I travel a lot.

I've gone to a lot of what we call ghetto malls, ghetto,

malls, or malls. That there's one or two stores.

They're dying actually. I mean there's a ghetto Mall,

Oklahoma City, and there is a restaurant that I like to go

there and that's the only reason why I would ever go them all,

because that one restaurant, Is in the mall, but there's nothing

else in the mall. I walk through the mall, just to

see if anything, I wouldn't want to walk through that mall, you

know, there's nothing there and I told him, I said, you said,

you know what most malls don't ever resurrect.

I mean, you know, that's, I'm not saying it's impossible, but

it's not normal. Especially in the Amazon

mentality shopping thing, or the era of the big block stores or

whatever, or in this going to Walmart by everything you need a

Walmart or I'm about to start at Walmart by the way, anyway.

Not not, I didn't buy my shoes at Walmart and my shoes are way

more expensive than my shirt. One tell you that.

Um, you know, but um, you know, I was at Walmart the other day

and I look to the shirt and I liked it and it's a Ben Hogan

golf shirt or whatever and I liked it.

I don't care that I bought it at Walmart because you wouldn't

know about it. Walmart until the fact I bought

it nor do I, that's his school. I don't know how many.

But oh man, I love your shirt. Love Walmart, Walmart Walmart

Lily you buy your shirts at Walmart.

I said absolutely, I'm a tightwad.

Hum. I don't want my shoes at Walmart

but I bought my shirts at Walmart so um, you know got it

goes forwards on some things sometimes.

All right. But um, you know, we either grab

a hold of God's reality, you know, every level has its own

thoughts and ideals and ideas. I mean, every level God's has

sauce. According to his word, while man

has thoughts, dictated by the limitations of physical and

Earthly environment, just like the world doesn't understand.

The things of God because they are two different levels, two

different worlds, and there's two different things.

But even like, you know, For whatever reason poor people do

not understand how to handle. Well successfully do you realize

a lot of people who grew up poor, in fact, you realize a lot

of people who actually win a lottery ends up, broke a few

years later because they don't know how to handle the money

because nobody hurts to Walmart. No, no, no.

I mean, you know, it also to quietly sick, people often don't

don't understand the realm of Health.

They've been sick for so long. They don't understand about

being healthy. Our mentality is well I'm always

sick. I'm always and you know what?

Here is the thing. You know, when it comes to

sickness, a lot of times we have a we have have a half mentality,

do you realize, you know, covid pass, I'm not going to talk

about company, morale. So, we'll talk about the

regional flu, remember the original flew back back in 2019

and before the original flu, you know, many times people will,

you know? Well, well, maybe you don't seem

a person, whatever. And what you talked to on the

phone, I wonder, whatever. What will they do?

If they're sick? When they say, I have the flu

They have the flu. Well when you have something

that sounds like a semi, it's like you're carrying around a

suitcase. I got the flu guys, here we go.

Or I have covid. I have this.

I have cancer and I have a sore throat.

I have a cold and I mean if you don't want to have something to

let go of the suitcase, in fact, if you ever heard my grandfather

and what most of you didn't talk to him on a personal level, he

would never say that he had anything, but course he actually

said, last headache, he had was August 1933, too late.

Start having headaches. Now then then he would say, I

passed that many marvelous opportunities to have a

headache. So once I was so, what is a

marvelous opportunity to have a headache?

Is my head hurt? I'm like, well, wait a minute,

you had a headache. No, I didn't have symptoms of a

headache. He never would take a hold of

anything symptoms sometimes would come of of coals or

whatever, flu and he would take care of the symptoms and but he

would never claim because I don't have that.

I don't have that. No.

Maybe the doctor says I have that but I'm not going to.

They're just it's just passing by.

I'm not going to keep that. See, but a lot of this, you

know, I don't want to say this but a lot of us have this

mentality. You know, we have something a

lot, we like to sympathy. We like your sympathy.

You know it. We like to, you know, ever how

I'm so sorry. Oh, I know, you know, you know,

then you got some idiot on face, one mile in probably the well,

you should get rid of that. I mean, you'll see them.

But, you know, a lot of times, we for whatever reason, it seems

the people, but that's not God's thoughts.

God doesn't want you to have a headache.

God doesn't want to be sick. I know. when you be poor, you

know and and God doesn't want to run down mall that has that no

one showing up in either I mean, he didn't take you this far to

let you down. But you here's the thing, it's

not just for the Pastoral staff to get the mentalities is for

the church, gets mentality for the community to get the

mentality for people. Like man, this is pretty cool.

We're going to have a carousel here.

Yeah, yeah we're going to have this here.

We're going to have that here. I'm working on a family

entertainment center. You know, that's what I want to

have here because because I want people to show up, you know, and

have your birthday party. And I'm not some of your

birthday party, but some your kids birthday parties, whatever.

We actually have a skating rink and and Yeah, I do but sweetly,

I don't do Byron doesn't. But I'm his boss and, you know,

we do birthday parties or parties all the time when we,

you know, six hundred dollars a pop.

I mean we do parties here party is there and we have a skating

rink. We have some Inflatables we have

all but you can. There's all kinds of things you

can have and that's what we're here.

Buying more stuff. Yeah, you know, that's, you

know, there's, there's many things you can do, but you have

to have your, we have to have a different mentality.

It's not now. You know your mentality for a

long time we're going to buy them all.

We're going to buy them all. We're going to buy, but what are

you going to do with them all? What are you going to do with

it? But because, see the, you know,

now if you needed them all for the whole church, that's one

thing but you don't need them off of the whole church.

This other thing is this mall is going to be about to community

about think but but everyone needs to get the same kind of

vision and you know just by looking at a piece of paper

showing up plans, that doesn't make doesn't get you.

The vision, the vision has to be on the inside.

It can't just be, you know, here looking you you mean you did it

to see people saying you need to see these tears filled up?

Well, you know moving to the new location, all these kind of

thing. Because see, you should get

excited about something because faith is having something before

you get this item before you see it.

But before it's in existence, because, you know, it's coming,

see, faith is Coming Attractions, you, you, you see

it on the inside before you see it in the natural, but all the

same times you realize, in order for you guys to build that up

that God has to bless you personally financially as well

as it see, that's the thing, you know, it all works and drugs

because you realize So first of all, we got to get out of the

mentality, we got to get out of the of the inflation depression,

you know, whatever mentality. I mean I got a Facebook always

so tough, it's so hard. It's so you know I mean you know

I can't believe this, you know, you know it's it's not hard.

My God. So meet all my needs because

there is a golden glory on you realize that means if my knees

go up. Then his provision also goes up.

And that's my my thought. And actually, let me get here,

what my dad's nose before I say was going to say because because

it kind of goes at Port parallel.

So you know what, my my dad was talking about and his message is

when you move to another level he kind of you know you're

thinking about the Israelites. You know they came they were

slaves in Egypt, everyone member story over numbers and then they

got came out of Egypt and they went to the wilderness.

Well, they were in the wilderness for 40 years.

Before they got to the promised land.

That's a lot of time to be messing around in the middle of

nowhere. Well that's like a mall that's

not finished right here. We don't want to mess around for

40 years with an unfinished small.

We want to move to the promised land.

We don't take 40 years to do it. All right?

And so, so in the first thing to go to another level, as find out

what ideas and principles worked out on the level, the new level.

So so we had to have a new vision, it's not just get them

all Vision, it's move forward. What does God want to do with

this. All right.

So, you know, you have to begin to change your thinking and

Joshua 11, it says this. I have the NIV here.

It says, after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord.

The Lord said to Joshua, son of nun.

Moses Aid, Moses, my servant is dead.

Now then you and all these people get ready to cross the

Jordan River into the land. I'm about to, to give them to

the Light and I will give you ever place where you set your

foot as I promised Moses, your territory will extend from from

the desert to Lebanon and from the Great River, the great

Euphrates, all the hittite country to the Great Sea on the

west. No one will be able to stand up

against you all the days of your life.

As I was with Moses, so be with you, I will never leave you nor

forsake you now, you understand that that the Lord had Osmosis

40 years earlier that they were going to take this land, but

because of their mentality, they didn't take the lamb.

So, finally, after 40 years, God tells Joshua to get ready to

take the Israelites into the promised land.

And God had to get to Israelites hearts and Minds change to his

way of thinking, in order to get to get them, to his s, the

promised land, because it took more time to get Egypt out of

the Israelites thinking that it did to get the Israelites out of

Egypt. See, they?

They see what happened is they made a move from one place to

another, but their thinking was in fact, if you read the story

or think it was well, maybe we had a better in Egypt.

Here we are. We're in the middle of the

Wilderness now. Now I want you to picture, you

know, the Israelites. Oh, you think you have a

recession, or whatever these guys were in the middle of the

desert for 40 years and they're like man we don't have anything

to eat and they're griping and complaining.

And so God invents doordash. Now, we call it that, but you do

realize they had Manna From Heaven delivered to them every

morning, not only that actually, but if you read that, you know,

they also had quails there. They had meat to eat that so

they just didn't have read they had meat every day.

Except for the Sabbath than that you put together twice or

whatever. But if you didn't eat it all you

spoiled. So it's like you know you always

had enough. Do you realize that God provided

for them in the middle of the desert?

If God could soak some, somebody told me the other day they're

talking about well food, shortages, and all this, and all

these things are happening. And, you know, and there, you

know, II have a friend has already spent 40,000 dollars

forty thousand dollars on supplies to, you know, extra

food next door, saying to my wife.

Just what do you think we should do that?

So nobody's going to his house if we need extra food, I mean

why what I mean? Now I will say Jamie just to

just to, you know, just you know, just, you know,

clarification, he probably already still has some Y2K food

that he bought back in Y2K this guy's a little well-off and so

he had plenty of money and actually when I made that

statement about going to his house, he goes, yeah, that's why

about forty thousand dollars of because I know the people Be

prepared. Like I'm Knockin.

So lazy thinking about being a giver in the middle of, you

know, say sauce. I will say that God has blessed

him and he wants to continue being a giver.

But my point was I don't need to store up anything because my God

shall supply all my needs. It doesn't matter what's going

on and if he has to he he can bring down more man.

He has plenty of us. Still up Heaven If he if that's

what he has to do. He'll do it for me because he

loves me that much. So if there's food shortages,

all these kind of things, you know what, you know.

I mean, you know, in Matthew, 24 goes and all the things, you

know, famines and floods. And it actually uses the word,

pestilences butts actually means pandemics.

By the way it talks about, these are the signs of the time and

they're going to happen. But also he did say he's going

to meet all our needs according to personal Glory by Christ

Jesus. So I mean well I know there's a

story that my dad tells about when he went, he went to Kenya

for the first time. And there was a guy who was

interpreter because a lot of people speak Swahili over there

and he came back two or three years later.

And The Interpreter guy goes, you notice anything about

different about my house. That was it was a mud hut, all

right? And you can click that link my

dad, they're noticing, my dad's not sometimes, sometimes his

details he goes, I have a tin roof so before he had hit a

thatched roof, now he has the tin roof and also have a

motorcycle You know, when most people walk having a bicycle is

one thing and motorcycles lemonade.

That's like driving a Mercedes and they're.

All right, so here's a, here's a story because they have been

having droughts in our land. And I began to pray over my

crotch because he was a farmer or crops and I'm the only one

who had caught me. It would rain on my field in the

rest of the nobody else. We get rain and God blessed me

so much that I had. Now have a motorcycle and a tin

roof and and And I have more crops and I was able to buy more

land and it's just more and more blessings and, you know, but

nobody else had the rain. But God met his need, his knee,

because it can't. Why?

Because he asked because he had to mentality.

You know what? It doesn't matter.

Everybody else is having a drought.

I don't have to Drought have a drought.

I can have a shout because because my God loves me so much,

he's gonna meet my need and he's going to meet your knee.

But you know what? Our mentality sometimes.

The chef that is time to move to a different level, you know.

You got to think differently when you move to a different

level you think differently. Now, you realize that the God

had to change Israelites mentality From Slavery to

conquering before they're able to enter the promised land.

Because if they had that same, you know, slave mentality is no

way. They're going to conquer all

these other other kingdoms. Now, here is the thing is the

devil knows, he can win the battle.

In your mind. The real Battle Is possessing

what? God has that what God has

promised will never take place if he can win the battle in your

mind. If your mind says you can't do

it, you're not going to do it. I mean, you know a lot of times

your the battle right here is mine.

But remember if you know the story there were There Were Ten

spies that. Went to the land.

They could have entered the land earlier.

It see. Tens buys when it comes back.

So yeah, let's go do it. But those ten spies didn't come

back into. Let's go do it.

You know, any of this by says, no, we can't do it with you, we

look like grasshoppers in there. So I did.

There's Giants in that land, we can't overcome the judge.

I mean, here you are. God just brought you out of

Israel is feeding you daily doing all these miracles for you

and like, man, there's no way. I mean and he said, this is a

land I promised you. But then he's then they're like,

oh, we can't take it. How can you not do something

when you have if God be for you? Who cares?

Who's against you? I know I love the story was on

my podcast, by the way, their brother.

Oh, it's just, you know, whenever he was talking about,

you know, offering to buy them all, you know, you know, he goes

well, we never sold them all before.

They've been copying, every result.

They've never sold them all before.

There's always a first time. You know?

I mean, you know, I mean, but I'm telling you, I mean, they're

so small for in his, you know, on paper.

It's really hard to resurrect a dying mall, and it doesn't

matter what's on paper. Because you know what, this is

not an ordinary Mall. You know, it's so ten, spies

came back from the promised land overwhelmed of not by the

inhabitants of the land, but by their own thoughts, because he

was it really a. Because they said we look like

grasshoppers in their side, they don't know what, they're, what

they didn't talk to anybody. It was their own mentality.

See, they didn't have the right mentality because I didn't have

the right mentality. They had to suffer for 40 years.

I mean I mean, that's a long time.

I mean there's you know, 40 years is a long time, you know,

all right but their own thoughts, defeated them, their

greatest battles are in, life are fought in our own body, in

our own mind, and different things, except for see, Joshua

and Caleb. They're the ones that came back

out. Let's go take the land.

That's why why? When Moses dies.

God told Joshua. Go do it.

Now, don't do what you said you set out to do in all those years

ago. All right, you know, here's the

thing. It says the first generation of

Israelites, 20 years and in old and older did not make the

transition in their thinking, from a slave mentality to a

conqueror mentality. And they did not go to the

promised land. I mean, you know, I'd be mad if

I was 20 years old. How do I tell I'm 60 before?

I could actually go into what God promised me to do now.

I think I would have probably started a rebellion since I'm

going to land without you guys, if we're, if I was, you know, I

guess. You know, I guess Bronner's you

know give honor where honor is due.

I I mean because if I saw somebody Caleb, how do you start

a Revolt? We're going in this land, who's

with me, you know, you know, but I guess they didn't they waited

for 40 years? You think, you think you had to

wait for a long time? Do you realize if you waited if

you wait six months or a year or whatever, it's get your healing

that would be not drop in the bucket compared to 40 years that

had the way to get to the promised land.

You know, but but the deal is, they could have done it earlier,

but it was their mentality. It sir.

They have to have next level of thinking, if you want.

Next Level blessings. You don't have Next Level

thinking. You have to have, you have to

think higher my, you know, he did not says, you know, his

thoughts are higher than our thoughts, his ways are higher

than our ways are alright. But um, then you have to be you,

you have to have courage to go do it and Joshua 16 through.

Not to 19 says this new naívi here.

It says be strong and courageous because you will lead these

people to inherit the land. I swore to our forefathers to

give them 47, be strong and very courageous, be careful to obey

all the laws of my servant Moses gave you and and do not turn

from it to the right or to the left that you may be successful

and whatever. Wherever you go do, not let this

book of the law depart from your mouth, meditate on it day and

night, so that you may be careful to do everything right.

In it and then you will be prosperous and successful have I

not commanded you be strong and courageous do not be terrified.

Do not be discouraged for the Lord.

Your God will be with you wherever you go notice that God

told Joshua three times in three different verses to be strong

and courageous. You know, several times he we're

gonna have to be strong and courageous when it looks like

that there's no way we're going to be able to do it but we need

to be strong and courageous. It's you know, it's going to

happen. Now, we have to have a cause or

purpose for going to the next level.

Many of my no Gerald books is Ranma grad.

He says, this courage comes when the cause is greater than the

circumstances, you know, courage comes when the cost is greater.

So so we have a Kazakh. The cars was to go out and win

this community for Christ. All right.

And you know what you know really you can't even put a

dollar figure on what that means because you realize and you

know, someone's life and Eternity there, there isn't that

I don't care millions of dollars if it takes money to H Y3

deckard's clerk. If if a three-decker so it's

gonna bring someone to Christ That that Seth million dollars

of worth it. I mean because something we want

in life sir, precious. You know, I mean you know, it

doesn't matter what it takes, he Co our mentality, a lot of times

is monies, you know, you know what, you know, we can't get

money off our minds sometimes and I'm not talking about.

There are some people this all about, you know, raising money

or whatever my deal is my grandfather.

His mentality. Never he said not one time.

Did he ever ask God to bless him not one time.

But he said, I asked God every day to make me a blessing to

somebody. I that's went.

I have this blessing went out. I want to be a blessing to

people. I want to change people's lives.

Well, it's we have a lost and dying in hurting world, people

are hurting right now. Now there are a lot of people

that are hurting financially and a lot of people, a lot of us

because her mentality or whatever.

But you know, what? If I didn't know Jesus, if I

didn't know that my God will supply, all my needs, what if I

didn't know, those kind of things, what if I didn't know?

You know, 50 million scriptures that may be able to, quote mean,

I mean, it mean I can quote scripture of every time I call

scripts, I don't even know why not.

I needed until I went to a situation and put them on.

I'm calling the script from like well I don't even know where I

found that one you know. But you know we've heard so many

scriptures you know. But what if we don't know see

that's the thing is if we don't know what's written, we can't

come out to devil. You realize when Jesus was

tempted every time he says it is written, it is written.

And it is written. My grandfather says the number

one reason why people don't get their needs met, they don't know

the word. You can't claim something.

You don't know. You can't clean the war.

If you don't know the word maybe that's why you might get a One

Year Bible and start reading the word.

I mean, you know, I'm early start reading the New Testament

or something. You'll I like being the Old

Testament to but some people are get but you know what?

You know it's interesting because if you know the Old

Testament like like it, the Old Testament and the law of Moses

makes the story about the one with the issue of blood, a whole

lot better. Because according if you read

the Old Testament, if you have a blood disease, you're supposed

to quarantine yourself. From the crowd, so you can't be

going through the crowd. In fact, if someone gives me

repose to cry, unclean unclean. If you read, if you read the

law. If you know, as a kid.

I mean well my mom made sure we read the Bible.

Every mean, every year we read the Bible through every year.

You know, I can't we didn't start Wisin first.

We just I like first or second grade or something like that.

I don't know. Seven eight ten times higher

meat. Well got so it's so We read the

Bible as a family out loud at the dinner table sometimes, like

Song of Solomon. Those are kind of weird, kind of

things, you know. You know, sometimes I put my mom

didn't want to answer questions. I actually I was smart enough

that not to ask those questions. I remember one time my sister

asked some question on this, I'm just snickering laughing or

whatever. Like well what are you got?

What did God mean by that? You know, think that's a whole

nother mentality, okay. Oh, you know but sometimes we

have to remind yourself of how much God wants to blessing the

blessings of God, you know, over and be killed.

Psalms 103 to says this King, James says bless the Lord O my

soul and forget not all his benefits.

You got has benefits for us. You know what, we have benefits

from being a Christian just like you know, you might have

benefits from your place of employment.

You might have benefits. American Express used to push

all their benefits from having American Express card.

You can have all think fact, if you have a platinum, American

Express card and I don't know how it worked and Colby.

But, but um, and And you get sick like like one time a guy

told me the reason I apply to American Express card because if

I travel preaching Africa, not sick in Africa, this American

Express card they'll pay to fly me out cord.

I don't know, I never checked the benefits but according to

him. I'm so so maybe it's not the

back then it was this back in the 90s.

He told me, he goes one of their benefits.

They'll airlift you to some Hospital in or whatever.

On my God, I didn't know that was a benefit according to him.

it's okay if it wasn't he, at least thought it was so so, you

know, because you know, that's why he had American Express

card, there's other things those other benefits, you know, I

don't know what they all now, but but you realize, if you

broke things or whatever, you bought an American Express card,

you can return up to like I do 900 dollars a year, you can

actually get even without the receipt, you can actually who I

know one guy who did it his um, his kid put oatmeal in the VCR

or Nothing like that. And they've they gave him a new

VCR because he bought an American Express card.

There's all kinds of. I think they took those benefits

away, but you know why God has way better benefits than

American Express does. You know, you know, God's

benefits are better than two weeks vacation or three weeks

vacation or whatever you might have.

All right, you know, once again, Jeremiah 29:11 says this King

Jeremiah 29:11

James version. It says, for my for, I know the

thoughts that I think toward you says, the Lord thoughts of peace

and not of evil. To give you an expected in.

Now, God has thoughts for you. And he wants you to think, but

you have to, you have to think of yourself, all right?

No. This guy says he wants to the he

wanted to give the Israelites and expected him.

What does he mean by that? God wanted the outcome of the

Israelites to be, according to the promises he had made to them

in his Covenant with them. And God expects the promises of

his word to be your outcome in your life.

God has already marked mapped out, a success plan for you in

his word. And so what We need to do is

like Paul says, refusing to look back.

We press for toward the mark. Well that's Philippians 3:13 you

Philippians 3:13

have right here, brother. And I count on myself to have

apprehended. But this one thing I do

forgetting, those things are true are behind and reaching

forth unto those things which are before, you know, sometimes

whenever you know, II always have faith project, but

sometimes we gotta forget about, you know, sometimes like, oh

praise God. The good guys did well.

Okay, that's not a way with now, we're moving to the next level.

You know you know one Chuck's five years, get them all.

We know that. We know what William who cares?

That's done. Let's not take five more years

to refurbish them. All you know we don't need The

Five-Year Plan just because it took five years, get them all

done me we have another five years to get them all ready for

God to use them all. It took for his purpose.

I mean you know but you're saying well that cost money,

okay? Well, we're in a recession and

and you know, we have, you know, I mean, you know, inflation,

okay? So cost more money.

What does it matter? So my guy can't Supply more

because it costs more money. Well, it's gonna cost 20% more

30%, more, 50% more. I just want that a person place

in the were supposed to have, according to the, according to

our President, we have a percent inflation, but I paid double for

my like fuel. I paid double for everything

else. I don't know where 844 I want

the 8 percent inflation. You know, actually, I don't care

the other day went Gaga. Yes, and laughed about it while

I thought it because I could afford it, but it was expensive.

But you know what? I could afford it.

Yeah, but it was expensive, but I could afford it.

I've had a great year. Why the how to grow your?

Cuz I expect you to have a great year.

I'm gonna have a good, I haven't got a word yet for next year,

but it's going to be it's going to be better and we may be the

worst me deflation. I mean, well he must have an

inflation. I'm going to have deflation huh.

I don't see, I don't care. I'm not on man's money system

and anything I do, you know, I believe God I trust in God.

No, I my money tells me to trust in God.

My money doesn't tell me to trust in the government.

Don't tell me trusting. The president doesn't tell me to

trust anything. You should vote though, but um,

it tells me to trust in God. All right, and so, you know,

looking forward, use you, the insipid, anticipation and

momentum you need to go to the next level.

You know, the more you think I mean, Since I'm you know I got

to the show before he got to the show and I'll Dale all day long

time, Tuesday. I thought more about his mall

that I did my own stuff because you know what, it's I think it's

cool. He's the first person.

I know that everybody more say he, I should say you, you know,

anchor Faith Church. I mean, I don't know anyone's

ever bottom, all, you know, on those people that killed one but

We were trying to build a mall for five years or actually, long

as I could covid hit. I don't know, back in 1980s.

It was until I'm back home. Sometimes, I think I mean 0 and

the 2000s that we were going to get an outlet mall and also,

well, they started building the outlet mall, then they stopped.

And now, it's all the places where they started, building it

all rusted, out, and everything, and then covid headbutt.

But there's a new sign 2024, we're getting there in Arlen

mall after, you know, I think it's six seven years now and you

know, Me, I have kind of faith is going to be built, but I

don't know. I mean, you know, in fact, a lot

of people like looks like look at the sign of laughs.

They're like I mean we're not getting that lamb all.

I mean, you know, we had an outlet mall in Stroud, Oklahoma.

Stroud is actually the city between Tulsa and Oklahoma

Tulsa, Oklahoma City halfway between start Oklahoma, and then

the movie Twister came out in the mall.

Got blown away. No me.

It was about the same time but it wasn't.

It wasn't, you know, because the movie Twister.

But anyway, A tornado tore them, all up, and they just blew them

all down. They never rebuilt it the until

Oklahoma City, later on, did build an outlet mall there.

I went there the other day actually got some stuff so but

you know, it'd be nice if we had it on.

You guys have an outlet mall, don't you?

Write down the street somewhere here.

You know, we don't have an outlet mall.

The other one went instead you had to write and one of them

went out. Yeah.

So nothing new is not but, you know, the funny part about it,

there in whole lot of But have faith Alamos even gonna come in

2024 because inflation because I said you know, you know covid-19

excused now facing going to be an excuse and this going to be

an excuse and you know I guess after 2024 going to present

hopefully than they can quit making excuses.

I don't know. You know, you know whatever.

But but you know what? We're not going to wait and make

excuses about your Mall. You will is what happens to most

2121 is up, tanker Faith Church. It's real enough to the

community. All the T, I tell you what, if

things start going, the community will get behind it and

it'll, you know, and and, you know, they'll be excited about

it. But you know what, you know, you

need to go to another level on your own personal life, to you

need to get out of that, you know, that mentality, you know

that that You know, I don't have enough money.

I don't do this. I don't will quit.

If that's the thing when you say I don't have enough money so

your money is tied to you. Does God has enough money?

You don't have any, you know, you might have money, but you

have the access, you know, here's the thing, you know, my

parents are always been very generous and everything that

they have, you know, belong to me.

Kind of like The Prodigal Son, the older brother brother when

he got mad at, you know, Daddy's like, I mean everything I got is

longs to you. In fact, do you realize what we

don't realize that if you my book, don't be stupid.

I'll talk about that. What do you realize?

No, The Prodigal Son. Never know, story about The

Prodigal Son, you know, there were two brothers all older

brother younger brother. Younger brother asked for his

inheritance, right? And he took off.

So you realize everything that the dad had left Was Elder

Brothers. I mean it was being passed down

to the older brothers and so but the point is as the elder

brother. I never thought.

Well what wait, I can have a party.

I can I can I kill the fatted calf and all that.

Yeah, of course, it's your stuff, you know.

But he thought he thought his dad had to die before he could

use it, you know. But you know, you know, my dad

went well. He had a I guess we still have

this for sale or whatever. We don't use it that much.

We have a big house boat. Basically, it was a mobile home

on the lake, all right. It's like you know, there's some

pretty much, that's what it what it was and is and we hardly ever

move it out anything. It was pretty much it was our,

it was our house. I mean, it was our lake house on

the water, you know? And I don't know.

And we are still a couple other boats as well that, you know, we

would take out more with maybe it's a big boat out, but it was

that was a pain in the rear to drive and take out and all kinds

of Often, there's one easy. So I don't know, I watch that

show below deck. Sometimes in the person, that

means they're pulling that boat. And I'm like, man, it ain't that

easy, I pulled those both in and it hits, it was not, we with 100

foot boat but it's basically a lot of pontoon boat is like flat

bottom, whenever, you know. So it's not a yacht, we don't

have a yacht, we had a mobile home picture, a mobile home on

the water, pretty much what it looks like.

I mean it's nice but you know I thought you're saying I'm a Ford

here. You guys have got so so mean it

ain't anything to do with you some of these big guys or

whatever but it was 100 feet. Alright, so it was big mobile

home on double-wide on water, pretty much it.

That's that's better to explain double-wide on water.

That's if you if you just got a mobile home park and put that

one on the water that's about what are butt.

Looks like, you know. But I mean, you know, I told

people all I got a boat. You got a boat.

Yeah, I got a couple boats actually.

Well, I don't have, I don't have a single boat, you know, I

didn't, I didn't have a double-wide on the water, but

you know, I had access to use that boat, anytime I want to.

Yeah, now I have a condo. I don't own the condo, but it's

my condo. It's like David called my condo,

my parents bought it, and so, they had their condo and then

they bought me a condo because in the condo Place, Another

said, oh, so here's that they came to me as I go.

This is funny. This is they go wrong.

We're not going to ask your sister because she'll tell us

know. Um, but there's they have a

condo three-bedroom condos a two-bedroom, condo came three

floors up and we have a big family or whatever.

So that, you know, there's not enough room in our condo for

everybody. So if we buy this other condo,

do you promise not to sell it after we die?

I'm like yeah I'm not selling you know I'm almost sell it you

know so you know so it's Craig's condo even though my sister can

use it if she wants to but she's doesn't she bought a motor home

you know so they can go pull up some lip somewhere or whatever.

I think they want to sell it because it's too much problems

anyway. So I have a condo but I don't

really have a condo with Mike on the even call my condo, I didn't

pay for the condo, they'll but it's my condo.

You know? Why is it?

Mike Hanukkah is my parents bought it for me.

Anything that you mean so you know what your God is able?

You know so quit. Say I don't have enough money

because God does I can't afford it.

Meant you see. I actually, you know, You know,

I don't know how many genders we have in America.

I know how many generals we have, but I don't know how many

General some people think we have, you know?

But you know, then the people started having their own

pronoun. Anyone ever seen that, they, in

fact, are some people that when you go to college, they ask you

what, your, what Your pronoun is.

So, I created my own pronoun. Now, I decided that I should

create my own pronoun. So I want to be called we, we We

all right cuz it's got an eye or Jesus.

And I say it's not about me. It's about, I want to have the,

we mentality. It's, you know, it's Jesus.

And I not, not me and Jesus. Jesus, and I, I'm putting him

first, you know, we have the we mentality, you know, you know, I

might can supply all my needs, but my guy can supply all my

needs. You know, you got to put God in

there so, so I decided I'm not me anymore.

I'm Yeah. Because when you start having

that we mentality, you can't think it's too hard because

nothing's too hard for God thinks they'll fit because no, I

don't know. Anyone ever read the Bible,

anyone ever read the Bible got good grades 95% of people here.

Read the Bible. You know, it says the greater

one lives on the inside of me, right?

So that makes the where we, it's me, and they're greater one, the

spirit of loving God. You know, that Bible Bible verse

the fear looking at the same spirit that raised up Christ

from the dead, dwells in you and wherever them and it will

Quicken your mortal. People read that because they

want to wake up. It says it will it will, you

know? I mean, it's a dead raising

spirit. I mean side, you raise the dead,

that's what's on the inside of Jesus said, the things that I

did and greater things, shall you do?

Because I go to the Father, the greater one lives on the inside

of you. That means everywhere you walk,

he walks with you because he's on the inside of you.

So used to develop that we mentality because he's with you,

whether you want to be or not. If you're a born again,

Christian, he lives with you. Remember the Andy song and you

know any song and he walks with me and he talks with me and he

went, yeah. Yeah.

All right there d song so and he walks with me and he's so so he

lives on the inside of me. So it's a we mentality.

So so I'm never going to say, I can't afford it.

I'm never going to say is too hard.

I'm never going to say what what, you know, you know, we

can't do that because when I same way that, that me, that

puts him in there that thing. What I can say is my verse for

this year and I'm going to read it again because I like to read

it. One of my favorite verses is

facing, 320, Ephesians 3:20 and most of you have password.

Ephesians 3:20

Quote will actually quoted it earlier Ephesians 3:20 New King

Ephesians 3:20

James Version. Says this.

Now to him, who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above

all we ask or think according to the power that works in In us.

All right, New Living Translation says this, now all

glory to God who is able to his mighty power at work, within us

to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think, all

right. And then I like the passion

translation says that this TPT on the free version of the

Bible. It says this never doubt, God's

Mighty power to work in. You and accomplish all this, he

will achieve infinitely more. Then your greatest request your

most unbelievable dream and exceed your wildest imagination.

He will outdo them all for his miraculous power constantly

energizes you. So I like this translation right

here. It said I'm going to read it

again. He will achieve infinitely more

than your greatest request. Your most unbelievable dream and

you exceed your wildest imagination.

I don't know about you but I can imagine a lot of things.

Yeah. and see right now, we're imagining that mall, ministering

to this community and people being saved people coming to

this church, you know, people being healed, people being

transformed because of them all because of them all You know

what? Because you understand dead

malls. Don't, don't, don't use it.

They get torn down become a parking lot.

I just want to let you know that.

I mean, they don't revive. I mean, oh, but says he will

outdo them all his miraculous power costly energizes you,

right? Here's the thing.

God told me, he says he wants to do more than we can ask her

thing, but if we don't ask for anything, if we don't think

anything say it's about our, we have to have Next Level

mentality in. Order for him to give us more.

He don't want to just give us what we asked.

Her think he wants to give us more than we ask or think he

want he wants to you. So we he wants to outdo our own

thinking. I'll do our own thought life.

I mean, God wants us to move to the next level.

You gotta start thinking Next Level thoughts.

You gotta see things before they happen, both in your personal

world and you know, and then the here in this church and this You

know great you got them all, that's awesome but if you don't

do anything with it if it says they're like it is for 40 years

then who cares? You know, get a few stores,

whatever but nobody comes as you know, I mean it should be a

shining point to the community. But our mentality has, you know

what God is going to bless me. But not gonna bless my business

so I can put money into this church, so we can put money to

this mall. So we can help this community.

You know, and forget about all the bad stuff going on about,

you know, I don't care if we go through a depression or risk

that he doesn't matter. Those things don't matter.

We have the, we mentality, the greater one on the inside.

He's going to meet all my needs. I said, I last laugh the other

day, when I fill up with gas and it was close to hundred dollars,

uh, minimum and okay. I don't live in, California,

could be more. Look on the bright side.

Now, what is pretty wild? I noticed that, you know, one of

our own. I fill up a quick trip because I

like for trip to best some. They haven't made it to Florida

there in Georgia but anyway there it actually now in

Alabama. There are a lot of other states

are North Carolina had made it for dinner.

You guys got Bucky's that we don't have Bucky's and got

Obama. I like Bucky's winds Bucky's

today. Buck has been a quick trip there

anyway, but I fill out that quick trip.

And if it now, what they do, I notice, they'll charge me 75

bucks and then then they'll give me a rebate in sole charge me

70? Because they put a hundred

dollar hold and then they take it.

And so it sometimes I'll even give you two more.

I mean, some of the things because so I'm like $75 we

charge $10 a quick trip but that's okay because it looked

in. There's $50 came back.

So they immediately charged 75 and then gave us me $50 back,

which, you know, or whatever. Well, that's my wife, my wife

for whatever reason, won't fill the tank up, I don't care.

I just filled the tank completely on my wife's, like,

it's not, it's not about the money, it's about.

You don't want to spend the time to hold up the new think,

especially when it's cold outside.

And so in Oklahoma, we see Oklahoma, we don't, we you know,

we have Revelation mentality, I mean, whether it's hot or cold,

is not never lukewarm, it's either hot or cold.

And so, you know, we don't, we don't have, you know, we don't

have fall or much spring. I mean, it, it just, you know,

just heats up. Like it was interesting.

We had fake fall the other day and so, and the students were

all, you know, you know, like, oh man, it's fall.

I said, no, this is fake fall. They what do you?

Fake fall said this on Monday, I said, look at, look at, look at

your map. I said, you know, on on, it was

40 degrees 15, you know, it's nice.

Well, might be cold for Florida, but anyway, but them, you know,

a lot of people out those, it was nice.

I mean, you know, winner for you guys, I get it.

Um, this is a bath. Anyway, the point he was like 40

or 50 degrees and people are griping or whatever.

I said, look at the weather by Thursday was going to be 69 By

Friday, it was going to be 70. It was going to be the 80s by

Saturday fake follow. We have three days of fall, you

know what? Are now fall.

Now, real Falls trying to come along but real Falls really like

winter. I mean, you know, but this is

winter one, sometimes we'll have snow and then it and you can

take off in December. And then, I mean, I'm here one

time wearing shorts on Christmas Day.

I mean, you know, because you don't never know when mean, our

weather is crazy, you know, our weather works on our government

anyway. So Whether Oklahoma is he it's

either hot or cold, you know? It's just it's just crazy.

And the reason is that's why we have that's why I had tornadoes

my dad. My dad said if he wasn't a

minister he be a meteorologist. No he's he loves studying, he

studied meteorology study cloud formation and my dad talks about

any he's talks about, you know, you have the you know, the

obvious you from love the golf course right here because we're

here in Florida. You know, the gulf coasters is

warm water in the Gulf Coast and sometimes the that warm that

warm air from the Gulf pushes up.

And then sometimes Oklahoma, you know, Texas, a swarm pretty, you

know, a lot of Texas. Weather is a lot like, Florida.

Whether in fact, I have some palm trees out in taxes and

stuff like that. And So if you're looking to, if

you Geographic look on the map, that's what you know.

But Oklahoma, sometimes we get cold front from the North and

then some what happens is, warm weather comes up.

Cold weather comes down, and it makes an Oklahoma.

And that, that's why we have the tornado Center in Norman

Oklahoma. Oklahoma City has more tornadoes

than any other city in the United States of America.

And so, they had the weather center right there.

Bye-bye, do you. And then we have tornadoes

because it's Whispers who's coming up by the way.

So you Want to want to check that out.

Pretty pretty soon I always tell Ramos do this first year that I

was teach message. I said before you come to Ramos

you always watch the movie Twister so that way you got good

prepared. You know some things that are in

there maybe your true some things are not the semi trucks

been in the trip that happens. The guy holding on to his belt

around the pole and not blowing off that doesn't happen.

All right him. So but we are, you have seen

semi truck spinning around and thing but you just can't hold on

to your belts in the thing. And yeah.

So anyway, it's time to go to the next level.

It's not. But you know what?

The next time, I'll starts in your brain Next.

Level starts when your mentality.

It doesn't start, you know, a lot of people, you know, there's

a lot of people at well once I see it.

See, they want to see it. Oh well, that's like Thomas

Thomas told Jesus told the other side as well.

Once I see the nail prints in his hands and I'll believe.

So when Jesus came, he appeared before Thomas, he's like, okay

look he's like no, I'm not see that you you need to faith.

Faith is unquestioning belief with without any proof or

evidence according to Webster's new world dictionary, without

any proof or evidence. It's an unquestioning belief you

believe because God said, so you believe because God.

So, awesome. And Next Level.

Faith. Produces Next Level.

Reality. It's time to move to the next

level. Thank you so much for listening
