  1. Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.

  2. Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now, enjoy this message, turn over to Galatians, 2:20, we've

  4. been talking about faith. Amen.

  5. Faith, have you got anything out of it?

  6. I think if you weren't here last week you really I need to go

  7. back and look online concerning. What we dealt with about being a

  8. double minded, man. All right, it helps set you free

  9. that whole teaching was for the purpose of you being able to

  10. never again lack when it comes to Faith.

  11. Okay, never again, lack when it comes to Faith, because we, as

  12. Believers should live. In such a way in such confidence

  13. in God's word, it just comes to pass.

  14. Because God's word does come to pass.

  15. It should become so obvious in our lives, right?

  16. So obvious and there are things in our lives that we live.

  17. That way that we are. Just that confident.

  18. We have no doubt about it at all.

  19. In fact, we don't even accept it, if it does it operate as we

  20. B, we've trained ourselves so to speak and we've experienced

  21. things. Okay?

  22. And so, but there's confidence and we're going to talk about

  23. that confidence today. But it's kind of been a key text

  24. for us. It says, I've been crucified

  25. with Christ. It's no longer I who live but

  26. Christ lives in me and the life I live.

  27. Now, in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who

  28. loved me and gave himself up for me now.

  29. There's a few things here in the scripture Bears repeating Paul

  30. is saying that in in the context of personal living I'm not doing

  31. that anymore so when he says I've been crucified with Christ,

  32. he's saying Christ died. By taking our sin.

  33. In essence, in, in its simplest term, is rebellion from God's

  34. word, disobeying the word of the king, Adam sinned, the

  35. transgression that entered the world.

  36. When sin entered the world through one man's transgression.

  37. What did he do? He simply disobeyed the word of

  38. the king. The king says, do not eat from

  39. the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil.

  40. For the day you eat, you will surely die.

  41. Okay. Adam ate from that tree, he did

  42. not quit breathing that. But he was spiritually separated

  43. from God. All right.

  44. And so Jesus, then had to come according to Genesis chapter 3,

    Genesis 3 chapter mention

  45. to take on the sin of the world. So that we could have a pardon

  46. for treason for our Rebellion, against God's kingdom.

  47. Because what we are in, is a government, okay?

  48. And the Bible is about a king as Kingdom in his role.

  49. Offspring, Isaiah 96, does the best to communicate this

  50. government because it literally uses the word and Isaiah 9:6.

    Isaiah 9:6

  51. It says a child will be born. A son will be given.

  52. Now, who's, what, who's his name?

  53. Well, his name is what Jesus. So, the child's born, but his

  54. sons given notice the, sun's not born because the sun always

  55. existed, because it's the Son of God being clothed in flesh.

  56. But as you continue to read that verse that said, a child would

  57. be born, a son will be given and the government will rest on his

  58. shoulders. Jesus did not come to bring a

  59. religion, he did not come to bring Christianity.

  60. Now when I say that doesn't mean it's bad.

  61. To be a Christian. If you're doing what Christian

  62. means, Christian was actually a term given to humans or to the

  63. church by lost people. It was an Antioch that people

  64. work that were not born again, called other people Christians.

  65. And the thinking behind it was, is they They are Christ.

  66. Like they're operating like the Christ Christ is a title, it's

  67. not Jesus. Last name and Christ is the

  68. Greek word, that's translated there as Christ.

  69. But it's equivalent to a Hebrew word that the Jewish people are

  70. their nation of Israel were looking for.

  71. And that word is called Messiah, now, Messiah, and Christ by

  72. definition, both mean, the anointed one and his anointing.

  73. Now, what does that mean? That means when a person became

  74. king they would anoint them. All right, we see this in the

  75. book of Samuel when God was rejected as the king.

  76. In first Samuel, chapter 8 over the nation of Israel, they

    1 Samuel 8 chapter mention

  77. wanted to see their King. And so, in order for God to help

  78. that process, he had Samuel, the prophet, anoints all with oil on

  79. the top of his head and the spirit of God because all

  80. represents the spirit of God Came Upon him and it turned him

  81. into a different person. Right?

  82. Well, don't you know, Jesus was Anointed is King for he, even

  83. says himself and Luke 4:18. It says, the spirit of the Lord

    Luke 4:18

  84. is upon me for he has anointed me, right?

  85. When did he receive that? Annoy, me.

  86. Well, as to after he was baptized in the Jordan River and

  87. when he came up, the says, this the B, the spirit of God Came

  88. Upon him when the heavens open. And the father said, this is my

  89. beloved Son in whom I am what? Well please and Essence, he's

  90. the king, all right. Right?

  91. So Christ means king and so Jesus came to bring a

  92. government, not a religion. So if you're called a Christian,

  93. that means you're like the Christ are like the king.

  94. And we are to be like the king since we are the kings of the

  95. key, he's the king of who are those kings and that's not when

  96. you get to heaven. Best today right now, we need to

  97. learn how to rule and reign in this life.

  98. Hallelujah. So, Jesus came so that we could

  99. reign in life. So, when Paul said, I've been

  100. crucified with Christ, it's no longer I who live but Christ

  101. lives in me, once he's saying, he's saying, I no longer am

  102. taking charge of my life. I yield my life to the Christ to

  103. the king. I allow the king to dictate what

  104. I do in this life. So, now he goes on, But that

  105. verse back up, he says the life I live in the flesh.

  106. Now his flesh is not him, it's just his suit.

  107. So again when you look at yourself in the mirror that's

  108. not you it's just the vehicle that carries the real you, amen.

  109. It's just the vehicle that carries the real.

  110. You just like if we went out to the parking lot, you know, most

  111. people arrived on some form of transportation, okay?

  112. Whether it was an automobile or motorcycle or bicycle for that

  113. matter, or You came by Uber something, whatever it may have

  114. been you arrived here. Are you possess?

  115. Maybe, some transportation. That is not.

  116. You is how you get around? Well, the real me is on the

  117. inside. It's my spirit man.

  118. And so he says, the life, I live in the flesh, meaning this suit

  119. that carries who I am around, how do I live it?

  120. I live by not as a plumber. Not as a tent maker.

  121. Not even as an apostle. So he doesn't live by an

  122. occupation. He lives by faith in the Son of

  123. God who loved me and gave himself up.

  124. So the life of faith is not a one-time event and it's amazing.

  125. How many people are living, a one-time event of faith.

  126. Meaning they do recognize at a time in their life that they are

  127. lost without hope and they are in need of a savior that all

  128. their efforts to be right with God is not working and then Here

  129. that Jesus has come. He's died on the cross.

  130. He's paid the penalty for their wrongdoing.

  131. He has shed his blood for them and that if they will believe in

  132. their heart and confess with your mouth, Jesus as Lord, they

  133. will be saved. And so by faith, not being

  134. there. Over 2,000 years ago, watch Jeet

  135. watching. Jesus getting beaten so bad.

  136. You can't tell even as he was a man, not seeing Jesus.

  137. Physically carry his cross tour. Where's gal gotha?

  138. Not physically seen him nailed to that cross with a crown of

  139. thorns on his head. Not literally hearing him have

  140. the conversations. The scripture says not seeing

  141. him, give up his spirit and say it is finished, not going and

  142. having a bird's eye view of him being in the grave for three

  143. days, nor being witness of the rock rolling away at the

  144. gravesite. But by faith, we believe

  145. according to that word, Jesus is the way according to his own

  146. testimony. I'm the way the truth and life

  147. and we sincerely are firmly persuaded.

  148. I must make Jesus Lord to be right with God and to have an

  149. eternal Destiny are to live with him Forever, by which he's in

  150. heaven currently. Okay.

  151. And so, we come down, we Jesus, to be Lord of our lives.

  152. Our spirit man is changed according to scripture.

  153. It says that we become a new creature in Christ, right?

  154. The old passes away, behold All Things become new, then the Holy

  155. Spirit comes and lives on the inside of us Bears.

  156. Witness with our spirit. We are what children of God and

  157. we know that we know, we are God's child.

  158. We are born again. We have been saved.

  159. We are different, even though outside where the same are

  160. thinking a lot of times. And how we process Problems and

  161. challenges. A lot of times are the same.

  162. We have a lot of the same feelings still, but something on

  163. the inside, we know I'm a different person.

  164. And so that was an Act of Faith, and many people stopped.

  165. And the only other Faith they have is this, when I die, go to

  166. heaven. And they lived their whole life.

  167. Never really believed in God. Will do anything?

  168. Hoping he will give him credit for anything good because even

  169. the devil can do good. Now what I mean by that, he can

  170. do things that Mast itself as good.

  171. It's never really good but it looks like it I said it looks

  172. like it and he can, he can bring things to our lives that we can

  173. give God credit for because God gets credit for a lot of stuff.

  174. He gets credit for Stuff, the Devils doing on both sides, the

  175. good and the bad, so to speak the provision or the lack

  176. thereof. Okay.

  177. But we are to live by faith, which means we are to live.

  178. According to God's word. In fact, being born again, means

  179. you simply believe God at his word in the first place.

  180. What do you think God's? Talking.

  181. He is still talking. He speaking through his word

  182. primarily, that's how he speaks to us.

  183. There are plenty of Life less there is not a challenge in life

  184. today. The scriptures doesn't have an

  185. answer for already. it doesn't matter what's going on, there's

  186. nothing new Under the Sun, the Bible says, so we're not living

  187. in a Thomas society that so advanced I mean, that's

  188. deception itself. We are so Advanced, you know,

  189. people don't have the technology, we had.

  190. They had a different kind of Technology back in the day.

  191. But we're not so Advanced. You know what we really Advanced

  192. where Advanced it's inning. I mean, we're doing like any

  193. other Society, prior to us, we're advancing in sin.

  194. I mean there was a society that advanced in sends so well, the

  195. Lord just eliminated them off the planet flooded it.

  196. Well, we just go ahead and get rid of all them and Man Without

  197. God, that's what we continue to advance the median by which we

  198. have things only continue to advance it just like right now.

  199. Many of you are taking notes on your electronic device.

  200. Many of you are not taking notes on your electronic device, you

  201. are checking your electronic device because you just got a

  202. notification. So you have to now look at that.

  203. And then, you know, something happened on your Instagram, or

  204. your Tick-Tock or whatever, and you're checking it while I'm

  205. preaching. So gods in the room.

  206. I'm not God. But his words in the room wants

  207. to change your life and we get immediately distracted by all

  208. the notifications that are coming through our phone.

  209. A lot of times you're actually even sitting there while I'm

  210. preaching and you're scrolling through your social media feed.

  211. He said I have Pastor, how do you know that?

  212. Because I know humanity and you know what, I don't always preach

  213. sometimes. I actually go to other meetings

  214. where I sit and I watch preachers scroll.

  215. Now, I understand that you can scroll through your social media

  216. and still be hearing what I'm saying.

  217. I get that but that doesn't necessarily mean your hearing to

  218. understand Hallelujah. Pastor Li you saying our phones

  219. are bad, I'm saying that the potential.

  220. Is there ever looming? And the accessibility of sin is

  221. easier which means you have to be way more disciplined.

  222. This is why I'm blown away at parents of giving their

  223. children's phone at such a young age when they have no capacity

  224. to handle what you gave them. Yeah, but I just want to keep

  225. them safe. Listen, we were safe when we

  226. didn't have cell phones. I mean, it's like really.

  227. Do you really think because you're tracking your child?

  228. You're going to keep them from doing sin.

  229. Hallelujah. I'm not saying don't give your

  230. children phones, I'm not saying I'm just saying you got to have

  231. wisdom. but I know right now, I mean in this service of adults,

  232. it's a challenge. It's a challenge.

  233. Well, say, Amen. Anyway, so I you gotta have your

  234. own personal conviction that you got to determine how hungry are

  235. you for something now, I would not take away my soul.

  236. My electronic device. I take notes on mine, when I'm

  237. preaching are winning, not when I'm preaching.

  238. Was sometimes gonna preaching. But you know what?

  239. I'm listening to someone. I mean I can go through my iPad

  240. right now and show. You years of sermon notes, so

  241. good that I could. Preach him right now.

  242. Okay. And what's great about that is I

  243. don't have to find that notebook.

  244. Now it's right here I have so many different concordances and

  245. Bible translations but I can't have notifications popping in

  246. and you know how focused I get on preaching when some of y'all

  247. text me while I'm preaching yes happened and the most of them

  248. are doing because they're helping I will say something

  249. they're like trying to give me some I don't want I don't pick

  250. up on it. It because I'm not focused on

  251. that. But I don't.

  252. I have doubts about your focus. Help me get out of Doubt.

  253. Is what I'm saying. Are you hearing me?

  254. Okay. Well, praise the Lord.

  255. I'm not going to check your phones in at the door.

  256. But if you can't quit, looking at all your social media, you

  257. might want to leave it in your own car.

  258. Let me just say it this way. If you couldn't go through a

  259. service for a couple hours. It might be an idol.

  260. Right? I mean when I was in Youth

  261. Ministry, you know, always have the little cute dating, right?

  262. So cute. I never thought was cute, but

  263. whatever and I'm like, if you can't sit through one, our

  264. services without holding your girlfriend's hand, you might

  265. want to reconsider the relationship.

  266. Now, if you're married, please hold your wife saying, I have no

  267. problem with that. You know, but I was with youth

  268. ministry and none of them were married.

  269. So you don't need to because there's no way that that guy or

  270. that girl holding, that other person's hand is connected to

  271. the spirit of God, not with all those hormones going through.

  272. There is a whole nother thought that is prevailing and they're

  273. having to deal with it. Amen.

  274. Boy, her hands. Sure is soft.

  275. I'm in Genesis right now. Where are you at?

  276. I didn't don't be reading Song of Solomon, please.

  277. Right? Plenty of distractions in the

  278. world, you got to be disciplined and Galatians chapter 11.

  279. The Bible says there. Now that no one is justified by

  280. the law before. God is evident for the righteous

  281. man shall live by faith. Notice the righteous man shall

  282. live by faith. Paul said, in the same book that

  283. he is living by faith. Now that he's in his flesh

  284. because it's no longer his way of Doing it's God's way of

  285. doing. He also mentions that the

  286. righteous man, righteousness literally means right standing

  287. with the governing Authority. And so I says the righteous man

  288. is going to live by faith, he's going to be seeking the will of

  289. the father. That's how he's going to live.

  290. Which means he's not limited to a title or an occupation because

  291. all he needs is the word of the king.

  292. Are you hearing me Romans chapter 1?

    Romans 1 chapter mention

  293. Verse 17 says, Ford is the righteousness of for, in it.

  294. The righteousness of God is revealed from Faith to Faith as

  295. it is written. But the righteous man shall live

  296. by faith. Now notice, the righteousness of

  297. God is revealed from Faith to Faith, meaning.

  298. We are to go from Faith to Faith.

  299. And I'll be honest with you, you know, I've always said that.

  300. Listen, I'm always going to keep a faith project in front of us.

  301. Why can we go from Faith to Faith?

  302. But a lot of times, you know, I would go from Faith to Faith

  303. this way. I would go from Faith.

  304. We're believing God for something, and then we would get

  305. it by faith. It would manifest.

  306. And then I would pitch the next one.

  307. The Lord said notice, I said Faith to Faith, which means you

  308. should get into the next Faith project for you see the the last

  309. one complete cause Faith is calling those things that be not

  310. as though they were. So as you start to see it come

  311. to a conclusion you since it's about to manifest, go ahead and

  312. get over into another one. Because there are a lot of

  313. churches today that will do a faith project.

  314. Meaning we're believing God to do something, they do it and a

  315. lot of times that includes Finance right there, raising

  316. money for something where they're done, then they put no

  317. other project from the people because they hear is what they

  318. say, they they don't want to wear them out.

  319. Oh, you poor little things, you would think Christians were the

  320. weakest species of being on the planet.

  321. Have you noticed that Christians can get worn out and burned out

  322. so easily. I'm blown out.

  323. I'm Blown Away of those terminologies associated with

  324. Christianity. Well, you know, I we can't go to

  325. church so much you know, you just you get burned out.

  326. You know what, people get burned out of work but they keep going

  327. to work. That's amazing concept.

  328. They have more loyalty and dedication.

  329. This is what they call real preaching.

  330. Just be real Pastor to you real. Make it up, Pastor, make it up.

  331. Make us feel good. I'm making you feel good.

  332. I'm because if you follow, God is the greatest life ever.

  333. But we go from Faith to Faith. So there's no such thing.

  334. As burnout. You only burn outs because you

  335. get away from God, you get away from the word, you get away from

  336. praying in the spirit, you get lazy.

  337. And that aspect and because then all of a sudden you flesh Rises

  338. up, you know. So you got to stay to the It to

  339. keep yourself strong because if you don't, you'll get back over

  340. to the Flesh. And that's when those things run

  341. the risk. But if the Lord tells me, that

  342. the righteous man is to live by faith and we go from Faith to

  343. Faith than I am, doing you a disservice by us, not

  344. continuing. Amen.

  345. My wife coined this phrase and it was amazing and I've used it

  346. multiple times. Now, it says this in your

  347. goof-off time that you become undisciplined, Because a lot of

  348. times we get real discipline and then all of a sudden we want to

  349. take off. Right.

  350. Want to take a vacation do so just us Tommy, Tom, I need some

  351. me time. Right, so then we just laying

  352. around, we're doing nothing, we're bingeing Netflix or Hulu,

  353. don't look at me like that cause I know you're binging watching

  354. stuff. Okay, I mean the youngest

  355. generation know what they've been John, YouTube videos,

  356. YouTube shorts. I was just flipping through 20

  357. seconds, hit the next one, hit the next one.

  358. Hit the next one. Hit the next one.

  359. Three hours later. Wow, it's been three hours

  360. later. You've watched three hours of

  361. 22nd clips. Go ahead, parent.

  362. Leave your phone with your child and say nothing and watch how

  363. long they stay on it. Watch their attention span.

  364. Well, you know, they just don't have a long attention span.

  365. They set in front of that, phone for three hours.

  366. I don't care, it's different images.

  367. They set. Bull the world to dupe us into

  368. some all kind of beliefs well you know my child just can't

  369. stay still that long. They stay still that long in a

  370. movie. Hallelujah.

  371. My righteous. I want live by faith notice.

  372. It doesn't say the pastor or the Apostle, the prophet Advantage

  373. their teacher but the righteous are you righteous.

  374. So it's not my responsibility as a pastor to be the only one who

  375. lives by faith. Oh, that's the platform.

  376. It's the church. Those who are hired at they live

  377. by faith. We just show up.

  378. No, you live by faith. You live by faith as well.

  379. We are all to live by faith. Look at Hebrews chapter 10.

    Hebrews 10 chapter mention

  380. Verse 38 to 39 it says this but my righteous one shall live by

  381. faith. I mean, just in case you need to

  382. I mean I could have given to I've given three very specific

  383. obviously Galatians 2:20 is an implication that that's how we

    Galatians 2:20

  384. live we live by faith. He said that live by faith but

  385. these say my righteous one shall live by faith.

  386. For scripture is very clear that we are to live how Faith.

  387. So we should be so consumed. With living by faith.

  388. And you can't live by faith. Because faith comes by hearing

  389. and hearing from the word of God.

  390. So, our faith is in God's word. So, how can we say we're living

  391. by faith? If we're not hearing God's word.

  392. So if we make church as an option and reading the word is

  393. an option. And yet we call ourselves Faith

  394. people, that's a lie. That's a deception.

  395. We are deceiving ourselves saying.

  396. We're something that we are not doing because the Bible defines

  397. that a person Lives by faith is constantly hearing the word so

  398. that it has access to Faith and then believing that word never

  399. doubting. That's what it looks like.

  400. So, my righteous one shall live by faith and if he shrinks back

  401. My soul Hustle. Who's my?

  402. Who's the my in this verse? Who's the my in this verse God?

  403. The Father. But my right but my righteous

  404. ones. Who's the my God?

  405. The Father God saying my righteous one shall live by

  406. faith. And if he the righteous one

  407. treats back then my soul. God Soul has no pleasure in his

  408. righteous one. Now, God may not be mad at you,

  409. but he sure can be displeased. He can be displeased and I don't

  410. want to wake up every day and my father be not pleased with me.

  411. Because how can I live by faith? If I'm not hearing his word in

  412. an active action of hearing God's word?

  413. Now, I'm not talking about putting on any Minister on your

  414. TV, just because you have somebody talking the whole time

  415. because just because I was talking the whole time that mean

  416. you're listening. Anyway, You have you ever heard

  417. of the term, white noise? Do you know how much noise is

  418. going on at our lives? Now, we're not even paying

  419. attention to it. I mean, you can't even hardly go

  420. into any type of establishment without music being played that

  421. typically has words associated with it.

  422. Now, can you pick up on those unaware at Toms, if you're in

  423. the environment a lot? Yes, that is true.

  424. But you pick up some negative stuff.

  425. So just because of Minister and you're letting the YouTube go

  426. from one preacher to the next preacher of the.

  427. Don't even know nothing about. No, about the context of what

  428. they're saying, you can start picking up stuff that's ungodly.

  429. So we're talking about my righteous one lives by faith.

  430. This is a deliberate action of the believer.

  431. To see God at his word concerning anything in life.

  432. This is how we are to live everyday not based upon what

  433. mama said, not what my aunt said or Auntie.

  434. Whichever way you want to pronounce it, okay, not your

  435. grandma, not your father, not your friends, that work, not

  436. your social media club. I'm gonna take, what do you

  437. think about this guy's? You're not pulling to determine

  438. your answer, you're going to the Lord, your deliberate to talk to

  439. your father. So, if we're going to live by

  440. faith, and we must be having a constant conversation with the

  441. Lord, either through the reading of his word, through prayer, to

  442. understand that word. In order for us to receive

  443. faith, that we can act on. Because again, faith comes by

  444. hearing that doesn't mean we're in faith, just cause we heard

  445. because James remember we've already ministered.

  446. This, that James tells us that we can hear a word, but if we

  447. don't do it, we're a deceived person.

  448. And there's a lot of people sitting in churches that are

  449. hearing somebody preach, but then aren't acting on it and

  450. they live deceive lives and they're telling their friends

  451. family. I believe God and they don't

  452. believe God at all. They're in doubt, they're in

  453. unbelief. And a lot of times they're just

  454. absolutely ignorant because it's white noise.

  455. Hallelujah. So he says, but you are not of

  456. those who shrink back to destruction.

  457. Amen, just go ahead. Look at neighbor says, it's not

  458. me, they weren't talking about me anyway.

  459. Notice he says your, we are not of those who shrink back to

  460. destruction, so if he shrinks back the implication is is that

  461. you're going to destruction and obviously you would because

  462. God's word is life. That's why Joshua said I set

  463. before you life and death choose life.

  464. Because if you don't choose life you shrink back to destruction,

  465. things will be destroyed in your life, you'll have lack had to be

  466. separated from the things of God, but of those who have faith

  467. in the preserving of the Soul. So I'm like always trying to get

  468. my mind Washed by the word. Amen.

  469. So somebody accuses you of being brainwashed say absolutely.

  470. I've been washed with the water of the word and my thoughts are

  471. clean. You should get Brainwashed to

  472. 90, they use that in a negative term, I get that but at the end

  473. of the day, nobody in here is making you believe anything.

  474. You don't want to believe But I'm sure going to tell you the

  475. truth and then you got to decide.

  476. And I'm going to hold our the church to the standard of that

  477. truth. It's nothing personal.

  478. I just this is what the king says and if you want to Buck the

  479. king, you're bucking the king. You're not.

  480. Bugging me. Amen.

  481. Because for me the life I live. Now in the flesh I live by

  482. faith. What does the king say?

  483. As a good Ambassador? I say I have no opinion on the

  484. matter but my king says He's life, he's loved.

  485. He's the creator of all things. What he says is for the

  486. advancement of my life and the life of his church and the life

  487. of everybody. I mean, it's life, it's amazing.

  488. I mean, it's a benefit to all. Why would I not want to do his

  489. word? Why would I not want to do is

  490. word? Because my do his word, he

  491. actually empowers me. He allows me to discover myself.

  492. Oh man, I learn more about myself by doing his word than I

  493. could ever learn about myself doing it my way.

  494. So again that's why Mark 11:22 2:24 says and Jesus answering

    Mark 11:22

  495. said unto them have faith in God the more the modern King James

  496. version. I like this as it this way and

  497. answering Jesus said to them, have faith of God.

  498. We've said for years, you know have the god-kind of Faith.

  499. Okay, so when he says have faith in God, literally it means have

  500. the god-kind of Faith or have the faith of God, so we should

  501. be able to have the faith of God.

  502. Now, how do we know we're off? In the faith of God verse 23,

  503. for verily, I say unto you. I'm reading out the King James.

  504. Now, that whosoever that whosoever shall say, unto this

  505. mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall

  506. not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things,

  507. which he saith shall come to pass.

  508. He shall have whatsoever. He say, he'll have it. so you

  509. can't doubt, you'll have something you're saying because

  510. if you doubt your own words and you should doubt your words, if

  511. your words aren't his words but when your words are his words

  512. and you should never doubt what you're saying, Cause God is not

  513. a man that he should lie. So quit trying to make God a

  514. liar through your mouth. Believe God at his word, say

  515. what he's saying? You'll have what you say because

  516. you're saying what he says, then he goes on and says, therefore I

  517. say unto you whatsoever things, ye desire.

  518. When you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have

  519. them again. Whatever you desire again, God

  520. gives you the desire of your heart.

  521. Now let's qualify that because that has been miss communicated

  522. for years, even through what's called Word of Faith.

  523. All right. It is not God.

  524. I have a desire outside of God. And so when I come to him, he'll

  525. give me the desire of what I've thought without God and that's

  526. how many people interpret that he'll give me the desires of my

  527. heart. If I desire a plane, I get a

  528. plane about his, our boat, I get a boat.

  529. If I desired a big house, I get a big house if I desire, you

  530. know a beautiful wife. I get a beautiful wife, I desire

  531. because whatsoever I desire He's gonna give me God will give me

  532. the desires of my heart and many translated that way, put the

  533. stuff up on the board name, it claim it that way and can even

  534. get it because the devil will accommodate that faith. but it's

  535. another person saying, I choose to have no desire, but what is

  536. his desire? So God give me a desire in my

  537. heart. So God gives me.

  538. He gives me the desire, he tells me what I should desire, what I

  539. should believe for what is best for me?

  540. What is best according to the purpose, why you made me, why

  541. you put you give me the desires of my heart because then when I

  542. get it from the key then when I speak, what the king wants,

  543. Well, then it's totally different deal because then I

  544. can believe for the impossible. Because God, saying through you,

  545. I want this to manifest and it's bigger than your personal life.

  546. If you notice, those people who tend to say that are usually

  547. only saying he gives me the desire of my heart or personal

  548. ambitions, majority of those prayers are something they get

  549. to have. Because bigger than you

  550. personally, God always wants to give to you.

  551. So that it's so overflowing that you have to share with someone

  552. else. mama, mama Hey men. I mean if God actually gave us

  553. the desires of our heart, most of us wouldn't even know each

  554. other right now. Some people be dead out of some

  555. of y'all be gave you the desires of your heart.

  556. There's some of y'all would have had God pick some people off.

  557. Now, tell me. I ain't telling the truth.

  558. Because you've been in situation, like I wish they were

  559. dead. Laura civil IMA give you desire

  560. heart. God, Lord, you're real.

  561. Right now, we don't believe that but yeah, you might as well

  562. believe that when you're like I got the boat.

  563. I got the car now. So different.

  564. If those are purposes, God needs you to have have no problem with

  565. that. I have no problem with that.

  566. He get. That's why I don't, I don't get

  567. all bent out of shape. When someone are receiving,

  568. certain things because at the end of the day, if it's part of

  569. the purpose of their lives, I have no problem.

  570. At the end of the day. It just needs to come from the

  571. source. So if God said we could have the

  572. god kind of faith and we can surely live by faith because God

  573. Lives by faith. I said God, live by faith.

  574. God Lives by faith. See, we treat living by faith is

  575. having something, we don't, you know what?

  576. We only operate it when we need something.

  577. Faith is is making an exchange for something that already

  578. exists. Faith is in exchange for up

  579. something that already exists. Meaning when the Lord says

  580. something that already exists somewhere, he just speaks it

  581. into existence. So it's somewhere, it's in the

  582. mind of God and then by a word, he releases it.

  583. So again when he created the heavens and the Earth, it was in

  584. his mind, then when he spoke it, it happened.

  585. Man when he begins to Fashion the days are things on planet

  586. Earth as recorded in Genesis chapter 1, it's not that it

    Genesis 1 chapter mention

  587. doesn't exist. It means he pulls it from an

  588. unseen realm into a scene Realm. It's not because he's lacking.

  589. That's why I'm believing. It's because I there's a need

  590. that I need to pull from one room to another realm and Faith

  591. does that. So when God says, Let There Be

  592. it didn't resist. because he believed that what I'm saying is

  593. going to manifest and it did and then we get the recording and he

  594. saw God said, let there be and there was, and he saw not in the

  595. realm of the spirit, but in the natural and it was good is good.

  596. So in an unseen place, he had a thought. and he believed that,

  597. when I say let these animals come forth, they are going to

  598. manifest and then he saw it. So that's living the god kind of

  599. Faith. So you've got to say our decree

  600. cuz Kings decree a thing. And you can't do a decree

  601. without words. So when the king gives us his

  602. word, then we decree, we are firmly persuaded.

  603. This is what the king said. So when I say I will see I'm

  604. going to see how many times did we say, and put up on the

  605. screen, the countdown of us, raising money to purchase them.

  606. All, how many times did we say? Thank you, Lord, for 2121 US1.

  607. South. How many times did we say?

  608. This is ours. This is our property.

  609. This is the Kings property. This is ours and it didn't

  610. matter. What anyone else said in the

  611. community? Didn't matter what even the

  612. ownership are of those associated.

  613. With the ownership said, in the end, we saw, we had what we said

  614. and we raise the down payment, money during a global shut down.

  615. When the whole world shuts down because of a pandemic, we get

  616. all the finances left to pay a that the down payment in a Time,

  617. We should have nothing. God says US Government since

  618. you're playing this, it this way and you're wanting to pay people

  619. to stay home. His people who are listening in

  620. this house said, well, that's just money for them all.

  621. And we had this major push and giving because many of you took

  622. your stimulus money at minimum tithe off at some of y'all just

  623. gave the whole thing. Oh Hallelujah.

  624. Why cause you're living a different realm?

  625. You realize we're going to have what we say and you aren't

  626. limited to sewing. Just based upon the title of

  627. your job. God brought other ways of us to

  628. see it come to pass. And now how God is I said in the

  629. how God is, he's so good. So here in Hebrews 11:6, all

    Hebrews 11:6

  630. doing all right, it says but without faith it is impossible.

  631. To please God. Now I'm not telling you God

  632. doesn't love you. God loves you.

  633. All right. God loves you because God is

  634. love. I mean he can't be out of his

  635. posture of love. All right.

  636. Now the problem is we don't understand the love of God.

  637. Because the love of God is Not Just, I love you and the love of

  638. God is Not acceptance. Okay, and I'm believing God that

  639. next year. He's going to allow me to

  640. explain his love. I'm believing God for that.

  641. Well, Pastor on know about the love of God, I don't know that

  642. you do. In fact, I would I would submit

  643. that 95% of all believers. Define the love of God wrong.

  644. okay, but without faith, it's impossible to please him for, he

  645. who comes to God must Believe that he is, and that he is a

  646. rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

  647. But without faith It is impossible.

  648. To please him. That means you can be a

  649. believer. When I say believer, let's say

  650. that you could be a child of God born in his kingdom, because you

  651. are firmly persuaded and you ask the Lord to save you and you are

  652. by All rights a child and infant, okay?

  653. In the realm of the spirit. Your bathing Christ, as both

  654. Peter and Paul communicate. When we first get born again,

  655. where infants, we need to do, we need to desire the sincere milk

  656. of the word that we may want. Grow, we are supposed to grow.

  657. Unfortunately, we don't always grow.

  658. Okay. So for those who are not

  659. growing, then they are living a life, not pleasing to God

  660. because they're not living a life of faith.

  661. They're living a life of waiting to go to heaven.

  662. Waiting to go. To heaven is not a life of

  663. Faith, living a life waiting to die.

  664. And go to heaven is not a life of faith.

  665. That's not living by faith. Although, that is a belief in

  666. itself. That is not living by faith.

  667. You are living to die. And you know, all religions do

  668. that. We should not live that way.

  669. We should live to live. In fact, we really should die to

  670. live. We should have died to live and

  671. live now okay, for he who comes to God, must Not I'll believe

  672. when I want to when it's convenient.

  673. No, we must believe. Okay, listen, I want us to lift

  674. this awesome life of Faith, all right?

  675. I mean this site should like Propel us to be like what your

  676. fix your teaching us, how to always receive from the father.

  677. I mean, we should not be disappointed that we have to let

  678. go of not living by faith. I mean, when we hear things like

  679. this are spirits. I know what our spirit man is

  680. not a man. Like yes, yes, yes.

  681. Now our flesh and our soul. That wants to be a little bit,

  682. you know, less involved and just kind of wait till you know, we

  683. die kind of stuff because, you know, I really want to take the

  684. responsibility of the of what's necessary for me to live by

  685. faith. Okay.

  686. You know, God just do it for me, without me being involved.

  687. Alright, praise God. I must believe.

  688. So I can. So again, it if he's saying that

  689. we must come in order for us to come to, God, we must believe

  690. then that means he gives us capacity to believe.

  691. There will never come a situation in your life.

  692. You cannot have the ability to believe which means there's

  693. nothing. God would ask you to do, either

  694. to come out of a trial or conflict or to believe for in

  695. the realm of purpose and vision. That you can come to him in

  696. belief that he's going to give you a word that you can stand

  697. on, okay? And cause that he is a rewarder.

  698. So, there's two things we have to do when we come to God, we

  699. must believe that he, that he is God, that he's the king.

  700. He's the final say we have to believe that because you don't

  701. believe that he's really the final say on this thing, and

  702. there's options. Then, the second thing you have

  703. to believe is that he's actually a rewarder.

  704. Of those who diligently seek him.

  705. So many break. Some of these words down for

  706. you. In the Greek, the word without

  707. means this in or out, it means that place where God called you

  708. the place. Requiring your obedience faith

  709. and patience that place where you are.

  710. Confident God wants you to be working and functioning that is

  711. the address of Faith where God wants you to live as long as you

  712. stay in that place where God told you to be, and you are in

  713. faith and you, therefore, please God.

  714. But the day that you give up or move, Out of that place of

  715. Faith. You are moving to cheaper

  716. territory that God doesn't value as highly a location where you

  717. will experience the hardships and inconveniences of poor

  718. choices and defeat. So when he says without it means

  719. in or out, it is the place God's called you the place requiring,

  720. you understand. First Corinthians 12:18 is so

    1 Corinthians 12:18

  721. significant to your life of faith for God places, the body,

  722. the members of the body, the members, In the body where it

  723. pleases him, the body is the church, Jesus is the head of the

  724. church, which is the body of Christ.

  725. So it is, Jesus has responsibility to say, you are

  726. assigned to Anchor Faith Church, and through there, I'll release

  727. all your fruit. There are so many people that

  728. are disconnected to a local body Church in general that.

  729. I'm telling you now, they are not living by faith.

  730. Can't do it. You're telling me I can't

  731. believe God. I'm telling you, you will never

  732. live to the potential. At all because you're violating

  733. the word you're telling Jesus that you don't actually have to

  734. be assembled with other believers.

  735. You're literally taking First Corinthians 12 and saying, I

  736. don't need a pastor. I don't need other people around

  737. me other sayings. I asked you to come to my heart.

  738. It's a personal relationship. All I need is Jesus.

  739. Well, Jesus sitting here with you by himself.

  740. Jesus, didn't die for you all on.

  741. And Jesus going to require you to be, you know, how many but

  742. Saints are Christians are like for their have a hard time in

  743. heaven, then very hard time. Because of being in this kind of

  744. crowd bothers you, you're going to have a very hard time.

  745. Let me just say it this way. Eternal destination is crowded.

  746. It's crowded. Now if you want isolation choose

  747. hell, it'll be crowded. But it'll be dark.

  748. At least you want to see him you'll hear them and you really

  749. won't care about it because you're being so much torment.

  750. Anyway, But if you're looking like, I want to be by my, then

  751. that's, there you go. But if you're talking about

  752. getting jointed and connected Heavens going to have to be you

  753. gone, you're not going to be at avoid people.

  754. So you need to put your flesh down now and learn to love one

  755. another. Cuz you're not loving Jesus,

  756. you're not loving me, and you're not loving your neighbor, and

  757. you don't love to be with them. Just truth.

  758. Hallelujah. So you got to be in the place a

  759. place. That's requiring your obedience.

  760. The church needs you to believe. I said the church needs you to

  761. believe. Please means this please the

  762. word. Please of the Greek word is a

  763. compound of 21. The beginning says as in

  764. something that is well and the latter part is enjoyable are

  765. pleasing together. They describe the pleasure one

  766. feels from seeing something that is especially exciting,

  767. excellent or delightful, so God Is wants to feel.

  768. He has a feeling when he sees you believe him at his word even

  769. though you don't see it and you never move off and you're like,

  770. I believe the Kings word period and he's like pleased to see

  771. you. In fact, the Bible says the

  772. father wrote for Rome's to and fro the Earth, looking who he

  773. may show himself strong. And it's strong when you begin

  774. to stand in faith, contrary to what everybody's saying and you

  775. get it to come to pass, you know, how strong Daniel looked

  776. when he was laying it. When he came up out of line.

  777. I'll strong, Shadrach Meshach and Abednego I'm using them.

  778. Do we just read them in our Bible, reading plan?

  779. If you're there, how strong they look, when they tied them, all

  780. up through them into the furnace and then they are walking around

  781. with another guy. Now strong, that looks that they

  782. weren't intimidated with the world's way.

  783. Of doing it. I'm only going to do what the

  784. king says. A straight, it's a coward to

  785. cower down to the world's way of perceiving and doing.

  786. So notice that the world is going to hate you and despise

  787. you for you standing with what the king says.

  788. But it pleases God. He finds great pleasure in that.

  789. The word must means this to be something, which should be done.

  790. As a result of compulsion. It is necessary.

  791. There is a need of it. Behooves Is right and proper.

  792. So look at your neighbor and say it.

  793. Behooves you to believe he is God, and that his word is

  794. forever settled. It, behooves, you, amen.

  795. I can use this in a book. Now it behooves you.

  796. I'll hurry, I'm learning new words because when you start

  797. writing books, you need to be creative in how you say stuff.

  798. Not the same way every time. Amen, diligently means this.

  799. According to this verse even God rewards diligence.

  800. In fact, he only rewards those who diligently seek him which

  801. means people with lazy lethargic do nothing.

  802. Take it. Easy attitude, will never be

  803. greatly rewarded by the Lord. This verse says that the that

  804. God rewards, the diligent Kerr diligence is required for any

  805. success. The phrase diligently seek is

  806. taken from a Greek word that carries and an entire range of

  807. power packed. Meaning, it means to zealously

  808. seek for something with all of one's heart strength, and my it

  809. prep presents, the picture of one who seeks something.

  810. So passionately and determinedly that, he literally exhausts, all

  811. his power in his search because this Word portrays, such an

  812. Earnest effort, the idea of being hard-working, attentive,

  813. busy, constant, and persistent in one's Devotion to what he or

  814. she is doing. Is also included, you can't say

  815. that your diligently seeking God.

  816. When you haphazardly read his word, And you want occasion,

  817. attend his church. Can't say it.

  818. There's got to be a diligence. Effort work, we don't like that.

  819. What on? We don't live my works.

  820. You work to seek God? You sure do?

  821. You absolutely do. But we want God to be fast food.

  822. Right, the quick. Now, the thing about faith is it

  823. is actually faster than fast food.

  824. Because when God tells you, it's already done, just because we

  825. don't see it in the natural, doesn't mean it doesn't already

  826. exist. So it's really relevant for me.

  827. A time frame per se per se because faith has two times

  828. associated with it. They are some faith.

  829. That should be immediate immediately.

  830. We would never believe that a person are instruct someone if

  831. they came down to make Jesus, the Lord of their life which

  832. they now, did you confess him as Lord and believe in your heart

  833. and confess with your mouth? Jesus is Lord.

  834. Believed on the cross Rose from the grave yada yada, right?

  835. And they pray that prayer with you and you're like, now listen,

  836. I don't know when it's going to happen.

  837. But if you'll be patient one day, you'll realize, I mean,

  838. you'll realize one day, it is show up, you're actually God's

  839. child. We would never say that we are

  840. like immediately. You're born again, if you were

  841. to die right now you go to heaven, you be present when we

  842. when we say that we you know what?

  843. There's healings that are immediate Can't accept anything

  844. less is wrong. Right?

  845. Being baptized in the spirit or being filled with the spirit,

  846. immediate don't have to Terry now receive it right now you

  847. know what the fruits of the spirit are immediate you can you

  848. can start eating a fruit of the spirit right now.

  849. Immediately you go in a situation that you're so ticked

  850. off an anger that you can pull out joy and bite into that fruit

  851. and joy manifest immediately, not five weeks from now.

  852. But then there are some it says through faith and patience.

  853. They inherit now that has to do with purpose.

  854. And that takes some time. There are some things that that

  855. require more than your faith alone.

  856. Other factors are getting involved, but you're pulling it

  857. to you because you never abandon what you said.

  858. So you don't want to apply faith and patience in an immediate

  859. situation nor do you want to apply immediate in a faith in

  860. patient situation? Well, I believe in God didn't

  861. happen immediately. Um, look, you can't believe that

  862. your child is going to change immediately because it's their

  863. will. Ooh, I'm believing God for a

  864. wife. You can't believe that that

  865. person is going to become your spouse.

  866. Just cause you said I believe that God told me you're my

  867. spouse. First of all that is, you need

  868. to keep your mouth. Shut number one, because you're

  869. hindering them from hearing God anyway.

  870. So many people do that. So crazy.

  871. I mean that's spooky. It's actually creepy.

  872. I'm a slight red flag. I'd never marry you, and you

  873. could even be right. Keep it to yourself, right?

  874. Just be a man or woman of God, the end of the day, you know

  875. what? I thought they were going to

  876. marry me. Well, they need five more years,

  877. so why don't you wait? Oh, I could preach that because

  878. honestly, I do believe that God's like lean some people

  879. towards others in their like they just got impatient and

  880. God's work in the other one out in such a way so that the

  881. marriage would be as fruitful as it needs to be, but you get

  882. impatient. So you picked second best You

  883. don't want to hear it, it's fine.

  884. I love you. All the single, yeah, yeah.

  885. If you ever been around single people, they just get so upset

  886. with you. Like, well, you're married you

  887. don't understand. I was single.

  888. Tell me, I don't understand and I did it wrong.

  889. I'm trying to help you out, you know, and just because mine's

  890. super fruitful, it could have it had more chances to not be but

  891. for the grace of God, and the fact that my wife and myself,

  892. Had a will to, please God. Because outside of that, this

  893. should have never happened. So I don't talk about mine.

  894. But I give you other people who did it right?

  895. And it's good, okay? Seek the word seek means to

  896. exert y'all doing. All right, considerable effort

  897. care and learning something to make it careful, search to seek

  898. diligently, to learn to make an examination to seek after also

  899. signifies required demand, Now, this is not a word we want to

  900. use with God and the religious hate this word when you start

  901. using this. Well, I just make a demand on

  902. God. You don't tell God what to do.

  903. God tells me to make a demand on him.

  904. God does to make a demand on him and God wants you to make a

  905. demand on him, because he wants to give you his word, he has

  906. chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

  907. He said, seek and ye shall find ask and it will be given knock

  908. and the door will be open. But that word seek asking, knock

  909. or repetitive words in the Greek.

  910. It means seek and keep on seeking, keep on seeking, keep

  911. on seeking right ass, keep on asking, keep on that.

  912. And you're not asking because you're doubting, you are Asking

  913. because you're in conversation because you need the king to

  914. give you his word. So Faith Can arise in you and

  915. then you can speak that word. And, you know, it's this way and

  916. I'll never come off and I'll never because he's going to

  917. reward me with his own word. He's gonna do it now.

  918. This word reward is a powerful word, but before I define this

  919. word reward, I'm going to read the Rick Renner version of

  920. Hebrews 11:6 based upon breaking out these particular Greek

    Hebrews 11:6

  921. words. It would read this way outside

  922. of the realm of Faith, living beyond its boundaries and

  923. parameters, it is impossible to bring delight and pleasure to

  924. God for he who comes to God. Must believe that.

  925. He is. And that God is a rewarder of

  926. those who are hardworking, attentive busy constant and

  927. persistent. Those who put all their heart

  928. strength and might into their pursuit of seeking him, those

  929. who are so committed in their search that they will are

  930. willing to exhaust all their natural powers in their search

  931. for him. They are the ones who will find

  932. what they are seeking. Well, that's good, isn't it?

  933. They it's good. But this word rewarder.

  934. Rewarder means this, let me just go back and read the original.

  935. Hebrews 11, the new King James 6, but without faith, it's

  936. impossible to please him for. He who comes to God, must

  937. believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who

  938. diligently seek Him. The word reward.

  939. Here means this one who pays wages To give away, pay for

  940. services rendered. That's what reward means.

  941. Now most of us we think he's a rewarder means.

  942. He's given us something like what we, but the word reward

  943. literally means one who pays wages.

  944. To give away pay for services. Rendered, is anyone ever

  945. experienced being rewarded? All of you are being rewarded

  946. either weekly or bi-weekly. or monthly, depending how your pay

  947. scale is So, you are supposed to be at your employment.

  948. Hard-working. Attentive busy constant and

  949. persistent persistent. You should be putting your heart

  950. strength and might I've had more than one congregation member.

  951. Come to me and say, Pastor Earle not going to make it a service

  952. tonight because I had a long day at work.

  953. In essence, I worked hard. They put their heart soul and

  954. might at their job so much. So that and that, why did they

  955. do it? Because that's how they get.

  956. Hey, but then they don't come to church because Church can't pay

  957. you nothing. I don't get paid when I come to

  958. church. In fact, the church is always

  959. asking me for something. Oh, I'm gonna take my jacket off

  960. now. Can I get a little Yeah, the

  961. church is always asking me for money, you know, they always

  962. want from me. Well, no reason why you don't

  963. get nothing out of church because you don't come to church

  964. the way you supposed to come. You come lazy lethargic.

  965. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking all on right now.

  966. You come lazy lethargic haphazard only cause your spouse

  967. begged you to show up again. And you want God to reward your

  968. laziness. You're not in his words, you're

  969. not praying. You're doing his moral conduct,

  970. according to your standard, not his you handle situations, how

  971. you perceive, not how he perceives.

  972. And then you come to church and all you can hear from the pastor

  973. is offering time, which is very little part of the whole time.

  974. We spend more time, singing and preaching then collecting.

  975. Yet, I am throwing Cash Out constantly for an hour and a

  976. half. Cause faith is the currency of

  977. the Kingdom. Cause what you don't understand

  978. is that when you come in here, this word, it has the capacity

  979. to pay a wage to you in the situations of life that you're

  980. no longer limited to your plumber salary, you're a doctor

  981. salary, your Rehabilitation salary, whatever work you're

  982. doing out there. God says I load your spiritual

  983. wallet up. Cuz Faith calls those things

  984. that be not as though they were. Now, we said last week that in

  985. essence, When Faith Comes, it's like God gave you a check, but

  986. when you doubt your Void it and now no matter how much you want

  987. to cash it you can because you've written void on it.

  988. So it requires God an issue another check and that check

  989. represents whatever. I mean, what is this?

  990. Five dollars, whatever, five dollars will purchase.

  991. That's what it is. I mean well as $5.

  992. No, no it's not. It could be a sticker.

  993. It could be a hat on sale. It could be, you know, a bicycle

  994. at a yard sale. I mean it could be a multiple

  995. things but then you start adding this 52.

  996. This 5. Now I got 10, I got 15, I got

  997. 20. Now I got 25.

  998. Oh now I got a 10. I'm at 35, I have more options

  999. while because I have more. Firm persuasion.

  1000. Again, people at this point, we're like, wait a minute now,

  1001. says, faith is a mustard seed. You don't have to have a whole

  1002. lot, went, whatever you have. It's got to be a farm persuasion

  1003. because here's the thing. If I go into Dollar General

  1004. today or I'm gonna go over the Public's after service and I

  1005. walk in only with a five dollar bill.

  1006. Make no mistake about it. Anything in public, I am firmly

  1007. persuaded by God, I can buy that.

  1008. I walk up to the counter, I'll set it.

  1009. It down. It's not mine is Publix but I'll

  1010. call it. What are you doing?

  1011. I'm getting me. Some chips, are they your chips

  1012. know? They're actually Publix has

  1013. chips but I'm calling on mine. Why?

  1014. Because I have faith. I have faith.

  1015. That's my chips. That's my pizza.

  1016. That's my Pepsi. That's my Coke, that's my eyes.

  1017. That's my whatever. I put it in my bag, like I own

  1018. it. I mean, somebody else have you

  1019. ever been in a store and you get the last item?

  1020. By All rights maybe we should throw down because this Publix

  1021. is but you walk around it as if it's yours and then you like my

  1022. wife do some things that made me kind of tilt, you know, and then

  1023. you get fi halfway through the storm realize.

  1024. I don't want it, so you put it on the shelf that you're close

  1025. to. So when I show up for the item

  1026. and can't find it, Because you put it on Aisle 13.

  1027. Now I gotta go seeking every aisle to see if somebody put my

  1028. hide them on the wrong shelf, that's probably called worked in

  1029. a grocery store. Once you hear me, I will my

  1030. wife's. I don't want the up.

  1031. I got it. I will walk it all the way back

  1032. to an aisle and put it there in the spot.

  1033. It's just what I do. All right.

  1034. That mean, Pastor. Marcy at an awesome.

  1035. She is because she's like their Stock People.

  1036. They'll figure it out and get it to us right location at another

  1037. time. You really don't have to go with

  1038. all this effort, I understand but I am going to go there, are

  1039. you hear me? So my I'm firmly persuaded.

  1040. But you know as well as I do, there are items in Public's that

  1041. I would walk around going. Well, I sure would want that.

  1042. Well then get it. I have to be honest.

  1043. I don't have a firm enough persuasion to purchase that now

  1044. because it says 799. And I got to be honest.

  1045. I have some faith. I mean, I believe God, but the

  1046. problem is, I'm honest, I'm rich, it ain't there for that.

  1047. But can I go somewhere and get it?

  1048. See we have no problem, we walk in with cash and we're like 079

  1049. up, Al I got survive. That's okay, no problem.

  1050. I don't have my other wallet, you pulled out, you want, you

  1051. pull out this little plastic piece.

  1052. As Touch One account. An account where you don't see

  1053. the cash, but it gives a page report of what how much is in

  1054. there. You're living by a register.

  1055. The account says, is talking to me.

  1056. You have, you know, a hundred fifty dollars in your checking

  1057. account. Praise God, I'm firmly persuaded

  1058. when I put my card in now. Run my number That somewhere in

  1059. the Unseen where I don't even see, it will take it from this

  1060. little chip on my card. Speak to some kind of computer

  1061. in some place somewhere in some Headwaters go all the way to the

  1062. headquarters of my bank. It will talk to it and say hey

  1063. does your guy have enough persuasion?

  1064. To have the item in question in order for us to authorize

  1065. letting them take possession and to make says oh yeah they for

  1066. sure. Believe that they got it.

  1067. No problem. Here's their faith snakes to,

  1068. you know, it comes back and it comes.

  1069. And it says, what, in the name of Jesus, I don't know how all

  1070. that went down. All I know is they give me a

  1071. receipt, a confirmation. but here's the thing, the next day,

  1072. if I show up And this is how Christians are living next day.

  1073. I show up. Same ladies, working, Publix.

  1074. I got the same 799 item, still got the five dollar in my

  1075. pocket. But this time I'm like, remember

  1076. I was here yesterday. Yeah.

  1077. Um so I got this item. Remember I put my card in yeah

  1078. yeah I remember that. So I did that yesterday.

  1079. So I'm just going to go ahead and take this home.

  1080. See, we act like we don't have to get more in order for me to

  1081. take the same item home with the same price the next day.

  1082. It requires me, another And if it's not there, it doesn't

  1083. matter. I had it yesterday.

  1084. Cuz when faith is spent. Then you going to have to go

  1085. back in here. And what we're doing is, we're

  1086. asking God to do it without us, accessing an account, without

  1087. anything else being deposited in our hearts and our spirit.

  1088. Faith comes by aren't you? Glad you get paid more than one

  1089. top? You go to work, they pay you

  1090. your first one here. Like praise God, man, this is

  1091. great salary. The next time comes around like,

  1092. what we paid, you two weeks ago, what are you paying me?

  1093. Two weeks ago? Yeah, did we give you?

  1094. What we said, we pay you for two weeks.

  1095. Yeah. But I worked a Note 2 weeks, so,

  1096. we already gave it to you. I mean, you got to live on that.

  1097. That's not my problem. No, you'd be like no, you going

  1098. to pay me? But yeah, we're acting telling

  1099. God. Without faith without hearing.

  1100. No, you go heal me. What do you better go?

  1101. Find some scripture, you better come seeking, you better come at

  1102. it with a word to me. You need to come with some kind

  1103. of Faith with me. You need to come with your

  1104. account with something. Because the reality is, if you

  1105. can't believe for $10, you're not believing for a million.

  1106. Even though Mustard Seed, Faith is the same.

  1107. Meaning, it's just a firm persuasion but the reality is

  1108. there's a seeking God can do things in different ways.

  1109. His word is the currency. The minute we receive it.

  1110. Then all of a sudden I can begin to stockpile.

  1111. Are you hearing me and every day I'm just like, I believe.

  1112. You know, I believe, you know, I believe, you know, I believe,

  1113. you know, I believe, you know, I believe, you know, I believe,

  1114. you know, I believe you're like, say, yeah.

  1115. I know what that people say. You're paying God, no, I'm

  1116. giving God, what he requires. He requires my faith.

  1117. Here's the thing. He's the one paying me anyway.

  1118. Oh my goodness, CB work somewhere for a living because

  1119. we want to get paid forever efforts.

  1120. God wants us to live by faith because he wants to pay us.

  1121. Matthew 6 will finish with this passage of scripture.

  1122. So give me just a few moments here.

  1123. Let me, let me get to the finish of the reading of this and I'm

  1124. going to make one point. When I make that point, I may

  1125. expand a little bit more, but if you're going to be water,

  1126. baptized, I'm going to release you to do so.

  1127. That way, you can go ahead and get prepared for water.

  1128. Baptism. I know a couple people are.

  1129. Let me just say it this way, God will accumulate allow you to

  1130. accumulate faith. And run it up because there's

  1131. nothing impossible with God. So, while about Coach Leo

  1132. yesterday with our ten, you team, they left no doubt on the

  1133. field. No doubt just run it up, right?

  1134. Because again our faith is so strong and God's word.

  1135. There's nothing the devil can do to us withholding hinder from us

  1136. when we have the word of the king.

  1137. Period, I'll never void. A check that God's given me.

  1138. I will always make a deposit. I will hold onto that and make

  1139. an exchange because our faith is just making an exchange.

  1140. You know, how many people would pay, you know, some people are

  1141. paying right now from their natural currency for somebody to

  1142. find a cure for cancer. A natural.

  1143. That way you can take a pill or put something in your body that

  1144. kills it, you know, the blood of Jesus did this the stripes, on

  1145. his back, did that there are many people that by faith have

  1146. been healed of cancer. There are many, there are many

  1147. that have prospered job. Promotions marriages restored

  1148. relationships for by faith because they got firmly

  1149. persuaded that what God says they should do and what they

  1150. need to do in that situation. And God sure made it come to

  1151. pass. He does it because his word

  1152. never fails. Matthew 6:24 says, no one can

    Matthew 6:24

  1153. serve two masters for either hate the one and love the other

  1154. or he will be devoted one. Pause the other.

  1155. You cannot serve God and wealth. For this reason, I say to you do

  1156. not be worried about your life, as what you eat, or what you

  1157. will drink, or for your body, as to what you put on is, is not

  1158. life more than food and the body more than clothing.

  1159. If that's the case, then we should not live to work.

  1160. A job. That doesn't mean we're not

  1161. going to work a job. That's not how we live.

  1162. All right, it's not our Pursuit. Look at the birds of the air.

  1163. They do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your

  1164. heavenly father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than

  1165. they and who of you being worried can add a single hour to

  1166. his life. And why are you worried about

  1167. clothing? Observe the Lilies of the Field

  1168. grow they do not toil, nor do they spend yet, I say to you

  1169. that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself, like one

  1170. of Use. But if God so clothes the grass

  1171. of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow thrown into

  1172. the furnace, he will, will he not much more clothe you oh you

  1173. of little faith? Do not worry.

  1174. Then saying what will we eat? Well, Pastor, how am I going to

  1175. eat? Or what will we drink?

  1176. Or what will we wear for clothing?

  1177. For the Gentiles eagerly seek. That's that word diligent again,

  1178. I mean, they are Spirit soul body.

  1179. They are all their heart, all their soul, all their mind, all

  1180. their strength, trying to make a living and make enough that they

  1181. can live life like they want to. And all of its comforts.

  1182. They seek these things. He says this for your heavenly

  1183. father knows that you need all these things, which means

  1184. anything they're seeking God knows we need them.

  1185. So, why live the world's way to get their stuff?

  1186. When, if you live God's way, he'll give it to you, because he

  1187. says this but seek first, his, his kingdom and his, what

  1188. righteousness of the righteous one shall live.

  1189. How that's right standing with the governing Authority in

  1190. essence. It's the right way to do it

  1191. God's way. So, we seek the kingdom.

  1192. Meaning we seek the king of the domain, What's the word of the

  1193. king in the Dominion you have? And whatever that is, that's the

  1194. right thing and it will seek those first.

  1195. Then all the things that they are laying their lives down on

  1196. occupation will be added to you. So the minute we, let natural

  1197. currency rule Governor have dominion over our lives.

  1198. We are not allowing spiritual currency of Faith to have that

  1199. Dominion. This is why I say if we ever

  1200. say, hey, we're going to do this trip or we're going to go here

  1201. or this that and the other you shouldn't look at your account

  1202. to determine whether you could do something. now, your account

  1203. may let you know whether you could show something But at the

  1204. end of the day, if God gives you a number or tells you, I want

  1205. you to attend how in the world. Could I go on that trip?

  1206. I don't make it. I mean I have just enough to

  1207. take care of what's going on. That's not your problem.

  1208. You just got to work from the King.

  1209. He wants you to go. So you just say, Lord, I think

  1210. you're going to provide now how he provides.

  1211. I can't answer that. It could come a number of ways,

  1212. it can come by, someone paying your way, you don't even know

  1213. it. But a lot of times, some people

  1214. aren't paying people's ways because they won't get out of

  1215. their own. It book and it's cause they

  1216. don't sign up in fate. Well, the Lord said that I'm

  1217. going to go. So I'm signing up by faith.

  1218. I'm signing up by faith. Are you hearing me?

  1219. Which means that all you got to do is get a word from God.

  1220. That's why I'm always when I'm in his word, I'm not in his word

  1221. to check my Bible. Reading plan box although I

  1222. checked the Box, I'm in it to say, what are you saying to me?

  1223. What currency is available, that you'll allow me to pull from The

  1224. Unseen into the scene because there's so much that I'm

  1225. accumulating that God at times aren't isn't even talking to me

  1226. about But I'm just believing God, I'm seeing his exploits.

  1227. I'm seeing how God done this and that the other night.

  1228. Wow, look at God, he's so faithful.

  1229. We did this. And yeah, and I have all this

  1230. spiritual cash, so to speak. Faith, build up.

  1231. I'm just believing, there's snow, all these situations and

  1232. I'm reading, I see how God just comes through and I'm like, I

  1233. believe, God, I believe God then at some point, he will insert.

  1234. I need you to believe this and all of a sudden it's like I can

  1235. do that. Because I've been seeking you

  1236. all this time. Then if I get to the place where

  1237. I'm like, I know and I'm believing but I realized what

  1238. you just said, I need a little more, I go dig in.

  1239. Because I don't just do it. I got to know that I know I can

  1240. do that cause I've got the word, I'm firmly persuaded.

  1241. I will not let another voice take and I will not void my

  1242. checks. Are you hearing me?

  1243. And it's one thing to do it on an individual level?

  1244. It's a whole nother thing. We start doing it corporately.

  1245. And all of us start coming together and saying we can do

  1246. that we can do that. Thank you so much for listening
