Building an Abundant Life - with Pastor Mike Krulcik

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

from st. Augustine Florida.

Now enjoyed this message. So tonight I want to start kind

of wear what past or what a powerful message that he

ministered on Friday Saturday and then Sunday morning.

At the Kingdom rise, Revival. So if you were not able to

attend that I would encourage you to go online and listen to

those, we had a service on Friday night, Saturday night,

and then he finished off on Sunday morning and during that

time at the Kingdom, Rob survival, he talked about Realms

of Dominion. And so, he launched from a

Matthew chapter 16, which I launched from that scripture

Matthew 16 · chapter mention

tonight verses 13 through 19. And the word says this when

Jesus came into the region of caesarea Philippi.

He asked his disciples saying, who do men say that?

I the son of man a.m. So they said some say that

you're John the Baptist some say Elijah others?

Say Jeremiah or one of the prophets, but Jesus said to

them, who do you say that I am? Simon, Peter answered and said,

you are the Christ or the anointed king.

And the son of the Living. God Jesus answered and said to

Peter blessed, are you Simon bar Jonah for flesh?

And blood has not revealed this to you.

But my father who is in heaven and I also say to you that you

are Peter and Upon This Rock, I will build my church.

God is in the building business. God brings you out to improve.

You to build you to equip. You said I will build my church

and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it.

Let me say that again. God came to build his church and

the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against the church and

he also said I will give you the keys and this is a pastoral

Minister Don starting off on Friday night at the Kingdom

rise, Revival. He said, I will give you the

Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on Earth will

be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on Earth will be

loosed in heaven. And pastoral did a phenomenal

job teaching about the three heavens and you can go back and

review that. But he also said this that keys

in that verse talked about principles keys are Rules are

what we would call fundamental truths.

He also said that keys are laws. He also said that keys are a

systems and he said that Keys activate function.

And then he said this keys, do not operate by emotion or

feeling. Just like with the key to your

house, doesn't matter how you feel it, all his kitchen, the

front door, doesn't matter what your emotions are like that key

will always work if you work the key.

And so Jesus said, I will give you the Keys of the Kingdom of

Heaven. Whatever you bind on Earth will

be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on Earth will

be loosed in heaven. That word bound means you limit,

you can limit things, you can restrain things or you can find

things. Let me ask you this, you know

what is going in on in your life?

Life. What are you allowing and what

are you limiting? Because the authority is in your

realm or your jurisdiction that God has given us.

So say whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in heaven.

So you can confine things or restrain things.

But he also said, whatever you loose, that were loose means to

release or to liberate. What Freedom do you need in your

life? Because once again, it's in the

Power of Choice that Jesus has given us.

That we have a key to operate in a law, right?

A fundamental truth. A function that we can

experience true freedom and release in life.

Now Jesus said this in John 10:10, he said I came to give

John 10:10

you life and to give you it more abundantly, he went on to say

it's the thief that comes to steal to kill and destroy.

The New Living Translation. Says it this way, I came to give

you a rich and satisfying life. So, really God wants us to have

Abundant Life. Hey gay.

Men. God wants you to have an

abundant life. Let me say it again.

God wants you to have an abundant life.

Overflowing blast prosperous doing.

Well, God wants you to have an Abundant Life.

He's just, he's just not about one day when you get to heaven,

God Wants You. Now to experience his best.

Hallelujah. So let me tell you, four things

in an abundant life is comprised of number one.

If you're taking notes, number one and Abundant Life Is A Lie

for all of your needs are met. Where do we get that in the

Bible? Philippians chapter 4?

Philippians 4 · chapter mention

verse number 19, says my God shall supply some Thirty-three

percent. He shall supply, what he shall

supply what your needs, right? According to his riches, in

glory, in Christ Jesus, everything that you have need

of, as a believer in God Almighty, he will supply for

you. Listen, that goes for provision.

That goes for health. Right.

So your bills, your mental well-being, your physical

health. God said, I will supply all of

your need. What?

Good is a full bank account with a broken-down body.

Well, good is a healthy body and full bank account with a broken

mind. So God said, I will supply all

of your needs an abundant life means all of your needs are met.

Secondly, an abundant life is a life full of righteousness.

Peace. and joy in the Holy Spirit and Abundant Life has a

life full, overflowing With righteousness, what is

righteousness, is God's way of doing an acting.

It's the character and the attitude of God, Matthew 6:33

Matthew 6:33

says to seek first, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness,

righteousness, and righteousness means we're in right standing

with God. Almighty Abundant Life means

that I have been made in the image of Christ, but I Stay.

In my Lane with their relationship, right?

He's made me write. And I seek after righteousness

and man, it's nice when you're living, right?

You never have to be intimidated or scared, or afraid if you're

doing the speed limit, Hallelujah.

I won't have any hands raised tonight, but all of us have

passed police officers at times. And if you have to look down At

your speedometer. To determine, are you doing the

speed limit and then you get nervous because you're doing 45

in a 35 and what do you do next? You look in the rearview mirror.

What are you looking for lights? Hallelujah.

But when you're doing the speed limit and you're in, right

standing, guess what? The next thing that comes is

peace. Righteousness, and peace.

An abundant life has righteousness and peace.

Peace means, man. I don't get agitated about

things I don't get annoyed. I'm, I'm not Disturbed.

I'm in a tranquil state of being right?

No matter what's going on. I read today that you know, the

interest rates are going up, Hallelujah.

To slow down inflation, glory to God.

I'm in this world but I'm not of this world.

I operate in a different Kingdom and the Old Testament.

One person sewed in the year famine and received a

hundredfold. So even when the world is

struggling those of us that are children of God could Thrive and

Excel, right? So I'm at peace.

Peace means that there's calmness in my life.

I'm not getting a Agitated. Now, you can pass up marvelous

one opportunities, to get agitated.

It doesn't mean that they don't present themselves to you.

But, you know what? You can just say, I'm not going

to get aggravated about that. I'm not going to somebody cuts

you off in traffic. You don't have to tell them that

their number one. Right?

You don't have to honk your horn.

You don't have to start yelling, you could just stay at what now

your flesh will say hit the horn, right, your flesh will

tell you something else, but you can in your spirit man, will

say, no, no, no, the love of God.

Can strange you Right? So you can stay up peace and no

matter what's going on in the middle of a pandemic, guess

what? Because we're in Covenant with

God, you can stay at peace. You don't have to freak out like

the world freaks out. Right?

You can stay in calmness. Jesus want a boat one time.

With the disciples, he said we're going to the other side.

There was enough power in his word to get them where he wanted

him to be, but then contrary, circumstances arose and the

winds are blowing, the are the ways are blowing, the winds are

hitting against the boat, but Jesus was sleeping.

On the boat. What's that mean?

You don't sleep when you're agitated?

When you're frustrated, there's a good gauge for you tonight.

If your minds going going going going going, when you hit the

pillow, maybe it's time for you to say, Lord, I cast all my

cares, unto you, all these things I'm thinking about right

now, all these things. I'm processing all these things.

I'm reviewing. I'm going to do what the word of

God says, which means to cast all my cares, upon you.

The Bible says in Proverbs 3, that the God gives his beloved

sleep. So I'm going to take you at your

promise. And I'm not going to worry about

it. I let it go.

Trusting that you never sleep. You never Slumbers.

So you're going to be working on it even when I'm resting

tonight. Lord, when you're in peace,

though, you can rest well and then you need Joy.

So Abundant Life is filled with filled with righteousness, peace

and joy in the Holy Ghost, is there laughter in your life?

You know, James one says to count it all joy.

So even when circumstances are not what you thought, they would

be, you can still have a faith laugh in the middle of anything.

Something breaks down. Ha.

Ha! Ha ha!

Ha. Ha?

Why? Because God is going to get me

through this. I've never seen the righteous

Afflicted or seed begging for bread.

People, who laugh really do heal faster.

By the time babies are four months old.

They're laughing once every hour.

By the time they're that's for months, by the time, they're

four years old, they average a laugh once every four minutes or

four hundred times a day. Now, do you know what the

statistic is on adults? How much they laugh per day. 15

times a day. So from 4, to the time to you

get in adulthood 415. New Studies have shown that even

the thought of laughing or anticipating something humorous,

will begin to reduce reduce stress and boost your immune

system. So on a scientific level, which

is backs up the word of God, when he said your life should be

full of righteousness. Peace and joy.

Now, my wife will laugh at things.

I don't laugh at But she's get so tickled.

My immune system goes crazy because I'll start laughing with

her, her kind of at her with her.

But it's good. Amen.

In the Holy Ghost, thank God for the Holy Spirit.

Thank God for the holy spirit's an abundant life is filled with

righteous peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

You have the Holy Spirit. On the inside of you, you're an

overcomer because the greater ones on the inside of you,

you're not by yourself. Jesus said, I'm not going to

leave you an orphan. I'll send a comforter to be with

you which is the Holy Ghost. Are you drawing on the person of

the holy spirit daily Romans 8:14 says, as many as are led by

Romans 8:14

the spirit, these are the sons of God, you can ask the Holy

Spirit to help. Help you every day and

decisions. Big and small and he will

communicate with you. He'll direct you, he'll give you

a piece about what to do. I give you a check about what

not to do. The thing is, are we tapping

into that great power of the great person of the Holy Ghost?

So Abundant Life all your needs are met.

It's a life filled with righteousness, peace, and joy.

In the Holy Ghost, thirdly, an Abundant Life Is A Life That's

well-balanced in all six areas of life and those six areas are

Spirit Soul body, family, financially, and socially.

I'll say it again, an abundant life as well.

Balanced in all six areas of life.

Spiritually in your soul realm, and your body family, finances

and socially. Spirit comes first above

everything else. Proverbs 4 says, guard your

heart with all diligence for out of it.

Are the issues of Life issues of the flesh or result of issues of

the spirit first goal that we should look at every year as our

spiritual goals. You know an anchor Faith Church.

We encourage strongly to read through the Bible every year.

How you going to know God? The Father the truth that's

contained in the word, The Authority that's contained in

the word. The promises that are contained

the word. If you don't read the word, how

are you going to build a relationship if you don't

communicate with God, through reading the word, How do you

build any relationship through communication?

If there's no communication, will guess what a relationship

is never built? And this word is God speaking to

you. So, spiritually, the very first

thing is, developing your devotional life, through

reading, the word of God. Secondly is exercise in your

prayer life. Now prayer is more than just

asking for things. There's a prayer of faith where

yab, Lord, I need this or maybe I need healing, but man, there's

worship, there's prayer, praise and worship where you can just

come in and say, Lord, I just thank you, not asking for

anything, just want to spend time with you, right?

There's a prayer of agreement where you can come into

agreement with somebody else. There's all different types of

prayer, there's a their prayer of commitment where you cast

your cares on the Lord. Did you know that worry is a

sin. Got in suggest not to worry.

He commanded you not to worry. Hallelujah.

You can say, Amen. Ro me.

That's why I says the cast all your cares on the Lord.

So that's the type of prayer, right?

So we want to we want to end in praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude

Jude. There's only one chapter the

20th verse says, build yourself up praying in the Holy Ghost so

we can pray in English and we can pray in the spirit.

If you're, if you're born again and filled with the Holy Ghost,

you can exercise prayer through praying in the Holy Ghost and

just, you don't know what to pray in English anymore.

Pray in the spirit. You can sing in the spirit, too.

You can sing in English and you can pray in English.

Thank God. So, we need a strong devotional

life and we need a strong prayer life, you need your soul to be

intact to. That's another goal after the

spirit and your soul is your mind, your will, and your

emotions, you know, in third John 2.

It says beloved. I wish above all things that you

would prosper and that you would be in health even as your soul

prospers. The prophet Isaiah said he who

keeps his mind stayed on the Lord will be in perfect.

Peace. So you want to keep your mind

stayed upon him, he wants things to go.

He don't want a vice grip, God doesn't want you to live with a

vice grip around your mind. Squeezing it Write your

thoughts, always going, always thinking, but you're always

thinking on the wrong thing. God said, I want your soul

delivered to thank God. When were born again, our spirit

man is released its made in the image of Christ, but the

renewing of your mind is a process or the renewing of your

soul is a process. How do I know that?

Because James, a letter written to the church.

The first chapter that book said you can receive with meekness

the engrafted word, which is able to save your soul.

So he was, he's already written to write to church.

That was born again but he's saying your soul needs to be

saved or needs to be renewed. Anu to truth, Romans chapter 12

Romans 12:1

verses 1 and 2 back back setup. It says, don't be conformed to

this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Your mind is a part of your soul, right?

So God wants things to go well in your mind to And there's

different ways to indifferent armor that God has given us to

overcome and the Conqueror in that and that realm of

jurisdiction, right? Where to cast down, every

thought that tries to present itself against the knowledge of

God. I thought of lust comes.

What do you do? Throw it down, the thought of

worry comes, what are you supposed to do?

Cast it down. You're not supposed to grab it

and meditate on it. And ponder it.

Well, how's this going to happen?

How's this going to happen? How's this going to happen?

That's why we go to the throne of God.

Lord, here's the problem. Here's the issue.

I'm coming to you for the wisdom of God for a plan.

I thank you for downloading it from heaven, from your throne.

So, your soul should be, well, your soul should be prospering,

your body is the outer really at the temple of God, that carries

the spirit man around, right? So you got to take care of

yourself. Thank God, that were born again.

Spiritually, thank God. You could have a strong Soul

realm, A Renewed in the word of God and meditating on the word

of God. Matter of fact, meditation is

one of the biggest keys to success for your soul realm to

prosper. Meditation is the biggest key to

success for your soul, realm to prosper.

What are you supposed to meditate on?

Joshua 1:8 tells us, you're to meditate upon the word.

Joshua 1:8

You know what that means is to revolve it over and over again,

to process it, to review it to repeat it over and over again,

in your mind. But thank God.

We're born again. We can have a strong soul but if

your body Is not in shape, right?

Or you're eating all the wrong things that could be detrimental

to your purpose, over the Long Haul, right?

And thank God for the Holy Ghost.

He'll Lead You In direct you as you go on with God.

I know that me. Personally, I've refined my

eating a lot over the years as I've gone on with God.

I remember when we were at bible school the dean at that time was

Reverend Gary Krause, who we had here several times ministering

and he was telling a story. Worried about how he was having

some internal problems and he was praying to the Lord about

it. There was some pain in his

stomach and the God told him say this God told him who he tell,

not you but God revealed to him. Quit drinking diet coke.

So he'd pray for healing and experience healing, but then

guess what, he drink diet coke and guess what?

The pain would come back. So God actually got to the root

And said, you know, remove this from your diet and it'll stop

and it did. So God cares about you so much

that these little tweaks, or these little adjustments along

the way, can help you. Why?

Because he has a purpose for you but the body's important, First

1 Timothy 4:8

Timothy 4:8, First Timothy chapter 4 verse number 8 says

1 Timothy 4 · chapter mention

bodily exercise. Profiteth little doesn't say

done profit at all. Hallelujah.

The Bible said, I don't have to work out.

It said it profits, but comparably, godliness, or

spiritual things. It's small in comparison, but

there is an advantage. Let me say it.

That way, there is an advantage to having some kind of regimen

when it comes to discipline for your body.

Whether your passion is, I don't know who is running one.

Run a run, 12 miles, but praise the Lord, if you want to do

that. I don't know if it's racquetball

basketball, I don't know if you like to hit the gym, but there's

probably something that you may enjoy doing that, could be a

benefit. Listen, pastoral preach about

this, a couple weeks ago, about seedtime and harvest, right?

How do we determine the Harvest? We get the Harvester.

Get is to see that we plan. So if you plant some exercise,

guess what, you're going to read some strength and some stamina,

it's a law member. He gives you the Keys of the

Kingdom keys are laws or principles, right?

and so, if you eat Twinkies and ice cream all the time, you're

going to reap. Hallelujah.

What you're sewing? Which is spiked insulin release

glory to God with a crash one hour later.

Hallelujah. But there should be financial

goals to write Abundant Life. You're well, bouncing all six

areas Spirits old body family. Let's see it.

Family, first family, God, let me say this guy puts a premium

on parenting. And God puts a premium on the

family, the way that he sees it biblically.

And we can see this inscription New Testament and Old.

One of the reasons that God chose Abraham is because he knew

that he would command his household in the ways of

righteousness and justice. And then Paul told Timothy that

you can't even qualify for leadership unless your

households in order. So God puts a premium on the

family. Really the family is a microcosm

really of the church because it's a bunch of families coming

together. So really when they come to when

we come to church, you know the family unit should be really in

Strider and character with what's going on at the house if

you come to church, you're hearing one thing.

But something else is going on at the house, you need to make

adjustments. Amen.

And so there should be family goes.

Well, how do you build family goes?

You know, get away with your spouse.

Pray for your spouse. Pray for your kids, right?

Pray for your grandkids, pray for your family, right.

Put write goals down. What can I do in 2022?

That's going to add to or increase because God wants us to

go from Faith to Faith or from glory to glory.

What can I do to help increase his family unit capacity?

That God has given me? We're only stewards of what

God's given us. We don't own We possess and

there is a day that's God's going to reckon and say, what

did you do with what I gave you? And that's that's a great thing.

He's a rewarder. A lot of people look at that

afraid and that should motivate you but also the same time man.

If you're running your race with diligence, you're running your

race with faith, you run your race led by the Holy Spirit,

that's exciting. Because God saying that's my,

that's my son, that's my daughter down there.

Look at them thriving, look at them, setting the example, Hey

man, look at that atmosphere in the home, right?

And so we got to line it up when your character and your call

lineup, you have credibility. So, we could be called, but if

you're not developing character, there's no credibility.

And there needs to be credibility in the home right

between Mom and Dad. And and the kids, right?

So what are the goals? You knows it and the Holy Spirit

will help you make adjustments. He's helped me.

Make adjustments with Angie's. Help me made adjustments with my

girls and he still helping us make adjustments.

You know what? Because we're not through

growing. We're not through learning and

this lifetime. Will be better five years from

now than we are today because why we have an attitude to grow

and a hunger to grow and what can we do to improve?

So what's a book? I could read this this year to

help improve the marriage. Covenant.

What's a book? I could grab, you know, on

parenting. What do I need to pray?

What do I need to say? These are questions.

You ask God and guess what? He'll communicate with you.

These are goal spiritually. I want you to do.

Pray in the Holy Ghost, 30 minutes more day, whatever it

would be, right. Focus on this for your soul

realm. This is what I want you to

meditate on. God will give you a scripture,

he knows what you're going through, he cares about where

you're at. And he brings a word in due

season that says, chew on this, renew your mind to it, speak it

out, right? He'll give you somebody goals.

Hey for where you're going in life, you need some more salmon.

A pastoral talks about when the Holy Spirit spoke to him, some

years back that he needed to get some more endurance training.

So guess what? That became a body goal for him

and then family goals are the same way.

Lord, what do I need to work on to grow?

Its not Lord. What do I need?

What does my spouse need to work on?

Because I'll pray for that. And I'll tell them, no.

Hallelujah. Oh, that's an elbow right there.

Okay, financial goals. You know, obviously ties 10%.

Lord, do you want me to do anything in offerings?

Right. Do you want me to so something

to missions? Right?

You just ask God these questions.

What do you want me to do this week this year?

What are the goals? You have financially and online,

right? Up with them?

Are you, what are you believing for?

You want to believe to get out of debt?

Right? You want to believe for a paid

off house? You want to believe to pay

somebody else's house off? Right.

But there's there's goals. We need to write down write that

we can aim for and believe God for and then socially.

What are you go socially? What are you doin to release

your gift? Other people and influence and

impact their lives were to ignite this City Impact, this

nation influence the world, and we can't do that, you know, if

we're just sitting at the house all the time, you know, just

ourselves and not getting out amongst people, right?

So socially, how can I connect, right?

How can I be an ambassador? How can I be light and salt when

I'm out? Among other people, right?

And then lastly an abundant life is a life that is full of

purpose. so, for things with an abundant life, All your needs

are met, you're full of righteousness.

Peace and joy. In the Holy Ghost, your

well-balanced and all six areas of life.

Spirit soul body, family financially and socially and

fourthly an. Abundant life is a life filled

with purpose. Second Timothy Chapter 1 verse

2 Timothy 1 · chapter mention

number 9 says this that God has saved us and called us with a

holy calling, not according to our own works, but according to

his own purpose and Grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus

Before Time began. There's a purpose and I'll say

there's a Grace for your purpose in the Earth.

Purpose is a key to life. Remember, we're talking about

the keys of the kingdom and there's many keys.

Whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in heaven.

Whatever you loose on. Earth will be loosed in heaven.

Keys are fundamental truths member of their systems.

They need activated and purpose is a key in the kingdom of God.

Purpose answers. The question of why.

Why am I on the Earth? Why did God put me here during

this time? Purpose is the progressive

realisation of the predetermined predetermined goals dreams and

visions that God has for your life.

Purpose is the progressive realization of the goals, the

dreams and the visions that God has for your life.

Psalms 37:4 says, delight yourself in the Lord and He will

Psalms 37:4

give you the desires of your heart.

That doesn't mean it's just my desires.

When you're delighting yourself in the Lord, which you'll if you

look at that up in the Hebrew, that means to be soft and to be

pliable. That means God, I'm coming

before your throne and whatever you want to do with this life.

Go ahead and do it, your the Potter, I'm the clay, whatever

you want to do through this vessel.

I'm submitted and committed to it.

That's what it means, delight and then he'll start dropping

desires or purpose into your heart.

How do you find your purpose? Purpose is where your passion

and your pain intersect. Purpose is found where your

passion and your pain intercept. I was at, Publix a few months

back, getting some items to bring home and I notice a mother

had her son in the buggy. They were in the water.

I'll and the Sun reaches up and grabs a water bottle and throws

it off the shelf. I'm sitting there observing.

The mom goes over. Picks up the water.

Jug, puts it back on the Shelf, guess what happened next?

The kid, grab the water bottle. Again, my pain was boiling and

my passion was boiling. You find your purpose?

Where your passion and your pain intersect.

It pains me to see dysfunctional homes are a man out of his role

or not functioning as God designed him, it's a passion for

me. Overseeing the Men's Ministry,

because I get the chance with the help of the Holy Ghost to

see men and grow in the purpose in the potential that God has

for them, I believe. That as the man goes.

So, goes the house. It's not, if Mama's happy,

everybody's happy. I believe that.

If the man's in place, it makes it a lot easier for everybody

else to be in place me person. That's my conviction.

And so pains me to see when that's not operating as it

should be. Now, ladies that doesn't get you

off the hook, there is a well-defined role and a

well-defined anointing and Grace for you to do your part.

But me personally, that's my passion and my pain.

But here's another key that I really wanted to hone in tonight

or really zero in on tonight or magnify tonight, because it's

not how you start. It's how you finish.

And though purpose is the key to life, a key in fulfilling, that

key is a thing called forgiveness.

Forgiveness. In Romans chapter 1.

Romans 1 · chapter mention

Verses 16 through 17. Let me put it this way.

As I read several scriptures to you, I want to give you a lot of

word tonight. Unforgiveness will hinder your

purpose. We went over when an abundant

life is part of that. The fourth one was a life filled

with purpose and I want to say live, just don't exist.

You should be able to say at the end of your life, I've fought

the good fight. I finished the course.

I finished the faith. Right.

You shouldn't leave this life fool like not giving out like

you should have but like Paul said I've been poured out like a

drink offering but unforgiveness will hinder your purpose.

Romans chapter 1, because another key in life is Faith.

Romans 1 · chapter mention

There's many keys that God has given us in the Kingdom to be

successful. Remember, these are keys that

can bind and they can loose. But we got to know these keys,

are these truths and work them in order to be successful in the

kingdom of God. So, faith is a key in life.

Purpose is a key in life. Forgiveness is a key.

In life, I can go on, confession is a key in life.

Stay in WorryFree is a key in life.

Are you tracking me? We can go on and on with all

these truths within the kingdom of God, that he's given us.

The question is God's already done everything he's doing.

Are you going to do your part? Some people are waiting on, God,

God said, I gave you the word, I gave you the word you're sitting

under your, in a good church. Hearing teaching preaching,

impartation instruction. But what are you going to do

with it? It's up to you say it's up to

me. So Romans chapter 1, verses 16

Romans 1:16–17

through 17 says this, I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ

for it is the power of God to Salvation for everyone, who

believes for the Jew first. And also, for the Greek, for, in

the gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from Faith to

Faith. It's written.

The just shall live by faith. So faith is a key.

For your, for your life, for Success, right?

Hebrews chapter 11, verse number 6 says this, but without faith

Hebrews 11 · chapter mention

It's impossible to please. God.

What is faith? Faith is what the word of God

says. Romans chapter 10, says faith

Romans 10 · chapter mention

comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Why is it so important to be in the word all day or two?

Do your devotional? Get that meditation scripture?

Why? Because it builds your faith.

I can say this way. What's your faith?

Fuel level? Are you at a quarter tank?

You had a half a tank. You putting 87 octane in it.

When you need 93 octane. You know, you don't put 87

octane in a Ferrari. And gods made your ass over

Thoroughbred, right? So you want to put premium fuel

the word of God in your tank often?

Just because you filled up your car last week.

What do you have to do this week?

And you can have peace while you fill it up.

Even though gas, you could just laugh at the pump.

Ha ha ha. $6. I don't care.

Guys got me taken care of. Bring It On, hahaha.

People with like what are you laughing at the gas price?

It's great. Why is it great?

Well, let me tell you about the kingdom.

I'm in Hallelujah. But without faith, it's

impossible to please God. For he who comes to God, must

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

diligently seek him. Now, I'm building a case right

now, right? The just shall live by faith

without faith. It's impossible to please God.

But in Galatians chapter 5 verse.

Galatians 5 · chapter mention

Number 6, it says in Christ, Jesus neither circumcision

circumcision nor uncircumcision while said that bad avails

anything. NG but Faith working through.

Love, how does faith work? Do you see where I'm going?

So if you have unforgiveness We could, we could ask this house

Your Love walk. You know, in First Corinthians

1 Corinthians 13:4–7

chapter 13 verses 4 through 7. This is from the New Living

Translation. It says, love is patient.

Love is kind. Love is not jealous or boastful

or proud. Or rude, it does not demand its

own way. You ready for the next one?

It is not irritable. One translation says touchy.

You ever been with somebody before that?

Your what's that saying that you feel like you're walking on egg

shells? That's touchy.

That's irritable. Next one though to go along

lations 56 it says Faith Works through love.

It says and it keeps no records of being wronged.

Let me say it again. Love keeps some records.

The ones that were really painful was okay to hold onto.

No, it says, it keeps no records of being wrong.

Now, that's faith, not your feelings.

That is faith. Not your feelings.

So does not rejoice about Injustice but rejoices whenever

truth wins out love, never gives up Lieutenant love, never loses

Faith. It's always hopeful and endures

through every circumstance. I'm bringing, I brought those

scriptures in order because in order to have strong faith, you

need a strong love walk. But your love walk can be

hindered if you're on and unforgiveness because you're not

supposed to be keeping records of wrongs, this means I haven't

forgiven somebody, right? So unforgiveness will hinder

Your Love. Walk a hitter love.

Walk will create stifled Faith. Stifled faith will create a

frustrated prayer life, a frustrated prayer.

Life will keep you from your purpose.

So, let's look at three dimensions or three dimensions

of release. I want to look at three

dimensions of release. Before I jump into these, I just

want to give you some general scriptures on forgiveness.

All right, these are things that you can take with you tonight.

It does no good to sit in here for an hour and a half and then

leave and not review or retain. What said, you know?

That's looking for LG because he played at Notre Dame.

Sale G and here I thought, uh, so Bethenny, but they have a

sign that they touch when they go out on the field.

His play Like A Champion today, all the players touch it as

they're heading out of the locker room and to me, you know,

being a sport fan. This is kind of like the locker

room. You know, you're getting the

instructions from the coach and we all need to touch the sign.

When we're leaving the door that says play, Like A Champion.

When you leave out of here, you go in the parking lot, you go to

publish, you go to your house, play Like A Champion.

G p--. Are you with me?

Oh yeah, we got the church. Okay, we got some Kirk Franklin.

Hallelujah. And so play Like A Champion.

So these are some general scriptures.

That's going to give you that you can actually take with you

carry with you, meditate on them.

Think on them, speak them, do them.

Now look at Ephesians chapter 4. Verses 26 to 27.

Ephesians 4 · chapter mention

The Bible says this be angry. Now listen, it doesn't stop

there. Let's read on in context and

find out how to act. Okay.

And do not. Sin.

So you know, God knows that in humanity.

You do have a soul realm with emotions.

There can be disappointment. There can be discouragement.

There could be great happiness and guess what?

There could be anger. So, the Bible says, be angry but

don't sin, and then God gives us.

Listen, this isn't suggestion. This is a commandment.

Do not let the sun go down. On your Wrath.

So that means the anger could border, man.

I want to I want to do something, right.

That's not right. But at the Bible says, Don't Let

the Sun Go Down on that. That means we're to handle it

when every day. Let me stop right here.

Take you to Hebrews chapter 13, if you guys can get this up

Hebrews 13 · chapter mention

there. Great, Hebrews chapter 13.

Hebrews 13 · chapter mention

Let me find this real quick because if you don't deal with

it daily, Sorry, Hebrews chapter 12.

Hebrews 12 · chapter mention

Hebrews chapter 12. Verse.

Hebrews 12 · chapter mention

Number, let's start in verse number 12.

And the read through verse number 15.

This would be another good verse for you to think on and to

meditate on in the speak. It says, therefore strengthen

the hands which hang down and the feeble knees, make straight

paths for your feet and that which is lame.

So that, which is lame, may not be dislocated.

Now, God set. All the members in the body has

its pleased him. Which is a medical term.

He set them there, do you realize just with your body?

If you get in an accident you can actually dislocate

something, right? So I'm going to show you what

unforgiveness can do. It can get you dislocated.

It says, but let a let a rather let it be healed.

How does heal income pursue? Peace?

with those that you like, No says with all people.

And Holiness without which no one will see the Lord looking

carefully. Lest anyone should fall short

looking carefully? Observing taken heed paying

attention to write less, you should show us fall short of the

grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up causes

trouble. And by this many become defiled

So what I'm talking about and but life is a life filled with

purpose. And forgiveness is a key to

staying in your purpose. You can see, unforgiveness is a

key to getting out of your purpose.

Many become defiled. If they choose not to forgive

going back to Ephesians chapter 4, be angry, do not sin.

Ephesians 4 · chapter mention

Do not let the sun go down on your wrath.

So, if you choose, not to forgive one day, one day turns

into one week, one, week, turns into one month, you're piling up

all of these wrongs, all of these hurts, all of these,

Disappointments. You just keep on piling them up

and you're never releasing them as God has commanded us to Guess

what? You're going to have a root of

bitterness. It's a lot easier on a daily

basis to pluck out little things.

But when you let things go unchecked for years, that's how

divorce happens. That's how people leave

churches. That's how an employee employer

relationships are severed. That's how friendships become

disgruntled. Because there's not forgiveness.

So be angry, but don't send. Don't let this.

How do you do that? Well, you say, father, you know,

so-and-so tick me off, you know, you can talk to God like this,

they really did me wrong. And boy Lord, I want to do but I

didn't. You know, he's thinking you're

on the right track child. He's pleased with that.

And now father I realized I just want to settle it today.

I didn't act on it but I want to say something, I close my mouth

but I know to really be in your will right now.

I need to make sure I let that go.

So Not only was I good that I didn't say anything man.

If you said something you need to apologize to them and God.

But in this instance you're saying God I want, I want to let

it go. I don't want to hold anything

against them. No ill will.

Matter of fact, I pray for them Lord for a spirit of wisdom and

Revelation is, can I go to Matthew 5?

I'm going to go to Matthew 5 real quick.

Matthew chapter 5. Starting at verse 43.

Matthew 5 · chapter mention

It says you have heard that it was said, You shall love your

neighbor and hate your enemy. Hallelujah, let's read on, but I

say to you, Jesus said this love your enemies, bless those who

curse you do, good to those who hate you.

And pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute

you, that you may be sons of your father in Heaven.

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends

rain on the just and the unjust for if you love those who love

you, what reward? Or do you have do not even Tax

Collectors? Do the same?

And if you greet your brother, only what do you do more than

others? Do not even the tax collectors

do so therefore you shall be perfect just as your father in

Heaven is perfect. You know, there's people in life

that celebrates you. There's people in life that

tolerates you and there's people in life that hate you three

types of people. And guess what?

Your to forgive any of them, and all of them.

And then you go, the extra mile. And really settle it and

concrete it, your love walk by praying for him.

And you know what, let me give you this as an additional

weapon. Is if their name or that

incident pops up tomorrow, guess what?

Instead of reviewing what happened, pray for them.

I guarantee you, the devil is not gonna want to keep bringing

that up. The more you pray for them.

Guess what? The stronger.

Your Love Walks gets, the more Revelation that you possibly,

they could get right as you're praying for Truth for them but

that's it. That's a great way to overcome

in a conquer. Verse 27, back to Ephesians

Ephesians 4 · chapter mention

chapter 4, it says to finish that you know, be angry, don't

send, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on your wrath, don't give place

to the devil. Do you realize that you're given

devil? You're leaving your door open at

night unlocked, if you're going to walk in unforgiveness for the

devil to walk, right? And who can who gave place to

him, God, God. No God said.

I give you a key. You want to bind up

unforgiveness, you want to loose forgiveness.

Man, it's so free. I'm telling you I've been on

both sides of the fence and boy. It's man, if there's confusion

cloudiness, you're dealing with things, get out of the Flesh and

get in the spirit, man. When you truly do forgive it's

like, and you get in the word. It's like the cloud has lifted.

And you get that Mountaintop experience with God and

everything just come. I mean you know somebody could

slap you upside the head and you're just like I love you man.

I got so much love in me here. Here's the other cheek, right?

Mark chapter 11, one more scripture for this.

Mark 11 · chapter mention

For we getting the three dimensions.

Hallelujah, Mark chapter 11 verses 22 through 26.

Mark 11:22–26

So Jesus answered and said to them, have faith in God.

I surely, I say to you, whoever says, to this mountain, be

removed and be cast in the sea and does not doubt in his heart,

but believes that those things, he says will be done.

He will have whatever he says. Therefore I said you what.

So things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them

and you will have them. Now, here's a key verse at the

end whenever you stand praying. if you have anything against

anyone, if you have anything against anyone, if you have

anything against anyone forgive Forgive me is to release it.

Drop it. Let It Go.

If you have anything against anyone, forgive, release it,

drop it, Let It Go. That your father in Heaven.

May also forgive your trespasses, but if you do not

forgive, neither will your father in Heaven?

Forgive you? Your trespasses?

Imagine that heaven becomes brass.

Because you choose not to forgive, what?

I mean, it's like my prayers at the ceilings and come back down.

You know, this can affect in a marriage.

Covenant. First Peter 3:7 says husband's

1 Peter 3:7

dwell, with your wife. According to knowledge, treating

her, as a weaker vessel, less your prayers, be hindered.

There's things that can hinder our prayer life And a hindrance

to prayer. Life could be out of you being

out of love. So, your faith is weak and God

is a faith. God in order to get something

from God. You got to be in faith, which

means you got to be in love, and if you're in unforgiveness,

you're not in love. If you want to be strong in

faith, you need to have a strong love walking.

Be a man or a woman that stands up, you know, with a backbone

and says, I'm going to choose her forgive and Let It Go.

First Dimension of release is asking or receiving forgiveness

from God. This is the first dimension of

her least. We're going to cover three

dimensions of release. So if you've done something

wrong, if you've what a send me in mean, send means to miss the

mark and guess what Humanity sometimes we miss the mark.

Thank God, I believe he's, you go on with God, you grow in

faith, you grow in love and that road becomes narrower, right?

But still, there could be something that happens.

And what when I trespass against God, or when I violate his

commandment or his way of doing it, how do I get back in right

standing with him? Well, you need to go to him.

And receive and ask for forgiveness.

Now, in this, their sins of commission, their sins of

omission that we have to deal with sins of commission, meaning

sins that are committed, man. If you're a substance abuse, if

you're in pornography, if you just cussed out your spouse,

right? Whatever the case is, you know,

those are sins of that you action, you acted right against

somebody or against yourself, you violated God's Command,

right? But then their sins of omission

In James chapter 4. Verse number 17 says he, that

James 4 · chapter mention

knows what to do, but that doesn't do.

It is sin. So like, you know, to exercise,

forgiveness, but guess what? I ain't going to do it.

Guess what? That's into.

Right, or the purpose of God, for your life.

Ask Jonah. God said you're going to go

there. He said no, I ain't doing it.

Took a Mediterranean truth Cruise.

In the belly of a whale for God to get him back into his

purpose. Right.

So sins of omission sins of commission, but either one, you

need to go to God and say, listen, I blew it.

Lord, and we always deal with ourselves first.

You know how you going to Matthew?

And the gospel of Matthew chapter 7, it says, don't look

Matthew 7 · chapter mention

at the log or the, you know, the speck in your brother's eye and

you got to log in your own eye, right?

If you read it carefully says deal with yourself first and

then clearly, you can go and communicate with your brother.

So it's not saying I can't go correct my brother.

It's just saying evaluate yourself first scripturally.

The church has this thing, you know, don't judge me first.

1 Peter 4:17

Peter 4:17 says it's time for judgment to begin in the house

of God. I want somebody to tell me if

I'm doing wrong, when I was courting, my wife I was rooming

with he's already smiling back, their Chancellor, Brian You

know, we were taking naps together.

In our courtship. And he came to me said, man,

that don't look good and man, Proverbs came ride, the wounds

of a friend. Are faithful.

That was like a punch in the gut.

I'm like, what? I didn't say that to him, but

I'm like, that's that hurt. But I did make the adjustment,

you know what? You're right.

So you can thank God for that. You know, kept us pure before

marriage, you know, before you know it you're napping on each

other. Never got their praise the Lord

because he the wounds of a friend are faithful but deal

with yourself first. And then you'll be able to see

clearly to help others. You know, Paul confronted Peter

face-to-face about withdrawal in and eat with the Gentiles, even

the Gentiles upon the Jews game. He's like I don't want to see

you have me seeing doing that? So confrontation is biblical,

but first we deal with what our self.

So when we're receiving forgiveness from God, we need

first. John 1:9 first.

1 John 1:9 1 John 1:9

John 1:9 says, if that's a conditional statement, if We

confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us, our sins

and cleanse us. From all unrighteousness.

Be a real man of God in a real woman of God and just take

responsibility, right? Whether it's a commission or

Omission. These are daily Lord.

I even even little attitudes of the heart, You know, God's

please, when you're, you may not have committed something, you

want to say something, but you're still kind of it's eating

at you. And he said, Lord, I just want

my heart to be right and that really aggravated me, you know,

those little things God's please with, when you deal with and say

my attitude was wrong on that, please forgive me.

I ask you to forgive me and to cleanse me from that Proverbs

Proverbs 28 · chapter mention

chapter 28. Verse number 13 says he who

covers his sin or sins will not Prosper.

If you try to cover Her up your sins, guess what?

There's no prosperity. But the Bible says, whoever

confesses them and forsakes them will have mercy.

So we go Before the Throne of God.

And we say, God, we want to receive your forgiveness.

I'm coming to you. Just emptying myself right now

and this is my wrong. This is my fault.

I'm dealing with me first, please.

This is a daily practice. The Lord's Prayer says, forgive

us. Our trespasses as we forgive

others. The second dimension of

forgiveness is forgiving others. Forgiving others.

Acts chapter 6. I'm not going to read the whole

Acts 6 · chapter mention

thing. It's only 15 verses but six men

are appointed a position of leadership in the church.

One of those is Steven Stephen at the end of that verse gets in

a confrontation with some religious folks, they're

persecuting him. It carries over in a chapter 7

of Acts and he gives a sermon after the sermon.

We see the result starting in verse 51.

So I'm going to read Acts chapter 7 verses 51 through 60,

Acts 7:51–60

but I want to he had every right to really he was in

righteousness and people were persecuting him, people were

doing him wrong. So First Dimension is you're

asking God forgiveness dealing with yourself for a second

dimension is you got to learn how to forgive others, right?

And so this is an example Steven who's in right standing doing

things, right? But yet there's great

persecution there's lies and people are trying to literally

take his life. So he says this in verse 51, he

says you stiff-necked. This is Steven talking, an

uncircumcised in heart and ears. You always resist the Holy

Spirit as your father's did and that love Hallelujah.

It is, I mean, he's a man of Love.

He's telling the truth. Which of the prophets really, to

arrest their attention to hopefully get them to repent.

We speak the truth in love. Which of the prophets of your

father's. Not persecute.

They killed those who foretold of the coming in the adjustment

of whom you now become the betrayers and murderers, who

have received the law by the direction of angels.

Have not kept it when they heard this.

And when the religious people are heard that they were cut to

Heart, they gnashed at him with their teeth.

But he being full of the Holy Spirit, Stephen e, gaze into

heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right

hand of God and said, look now, this made them really happy.

He said I see the heavens opened Open the son of man standing at

the right hand of God, when he said that that really angered

the religious people. They cried out with a loud voice

stopped their ears ran at him with one Accord, they cast him

out of the city and they Stone him.

They started throwing rocks at him, beating him to kill him,

and the witness is. Now, giving us laid down his

clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

And they. Stone Stephen.

As he was calling on God and saying, Lord, Jesus receive my

spirit. Then Stephen, knelt down and

cried out with a loud voice. Lord, do not charge them with

this sin. And when he had said that, he

fell asleep. What a man of God.

He is being murdered for the gospel and yet he still forgave

others. Which tells me this settle every

issue in life before you die. Before somebody passes away you

always in a make sure that all issues are settled that need

resolved in purified, death is too long to face without the

cleansing of the heart. Drop it release it, let it go.

So, First Dimension is forgiving yourself for your wrong.

Second dimension. I'm sorry.

First Dimension is asking God for giving a second Dimensions

forgiving others, right? It doesn't matter what goes on

that with, you know, at work relationships, husband-wife, let

drop it release it, Let It Go. Third Dimension is learn how to

forgive yourself. Pastor Marcus, you can come

forgive yourself, we could be great in two Dimensions but miss

one dimension and not be in full release or Liberation, and so

who did it, who do they lay the close down to of Steve and they

laid him by the soul who saw He becomes the Apostle Paul.

We read in Acts chapter 8, verses 1 through 3 it says now

Acts 8:1–3

Saul was consenting to Stephens death at that time.

There's great persecution that arose against a church which was

at Jerusalem and they were all scattered throughout the regions

of Judea Samaria except the apostles devout man carried,

Stephen to his burial and great lamentation over him, ask for

Saul. He went on to make Havoc of the

church entering every house and dragging off men and women

committing them to prison. So Saul kept on persecuting, the

church, but there was a day when he got converted in Acts chapter

Acts 9 · chapter mention

9. Saul became the Apostle, Paul.

but listen to what he said in first, Timothy chapter 1 Verses

12 through 14, he said I thank Christ Jesus my Lord who has

enabled me, I thank Christ Jesus.

My Lord who enabled me or Grace me?

Or anointed me because he counted me faithful putting me

into the ministry. Although I was formerly a

blasphemer, a persecutor and an insolent man.

He was actually witness to the murder of Christians.

He said, but I obtained Mercy. Do you realize that Paul

couldn't have gone on with this purpose?

If he hadn't forgiven himself and you can't go on with your

purpose, if you don't forgive yourself.

So, I'm telling you tonight, make sure you exercise

forgiveness in these three Realms received forgiveness from

God, forgive others, and forgive yourself reconcile

relationships. Broken relationships are a razor

across the artery of the spirit. What happens when your arteries

cut you bleed out and death results?

True reconciliation is one of the most powerful of all human

interactions. It's not a matter of human

psychology, it's a Divine gift. I close with John 20:22 last

John 20:22

scripture because when you forgive, it's not psychology.

It's just not through the mind. It's by the power of the Holy

Ghost That You release it, and let it go.

It's an operation of faith and love and John chapter 20 verse

John 20 · chapter mention

number 22. The Bible says this, and when

Jesus said this, he breathed on disciples.

He said receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any

one, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any

one they are retained. So it's by the power of the Holy

Ghost that you forgive, and it's in those three dimensions, you

ask God for forgiveness for yourself or for a few ask God,

forgiveness, for what you've done, you ask other you forgive

others and you ask God for forgiveness toward yourself.
