Receiving Your Kingdom Supply 2

Pick up your Bibles and lift them up and wave them around and make Jesus glad and the devil mad.

Let's say this together Say Heavenly Father, I'm so glad to be in church today.

I'm not disturbed, I'm not sad, I'm glad I'm going through in victory because of the Word of God.

Today, I believe, I receive revelation that builds my faith, develops my spirit.

In Jesus name, amen, you can be seated and let's turn in our Bibles to Philippians, chapter four, verse 19.

And I want to continue a series of messages, to be the second one on receiving your kingdom supply.

How many of you know you've got a supply and it's independent of Bidenomics.

Praise God.

Philippians, the fourth chapter.

Paul is writing to the church at Philippi and they were his partners that had sent once and again to his necessities.

And he said to them, verse 19, but my God shall supply all your need according to his riches and glory, by Christ Jesus.

And I like the love it translation of that my God shall supply all your need out of the fantastic treasures amassed in Christ.

Isn't that good?

I mean, that doesn't sound skinny, that doesn't sound barely enough?

No, I tell you, god has abundance for us.

So, receiving your kingdom supply you know I'm preaching this series of messages to build your faith, to make you more supply conscious and less inflation conscious.

I mean you know you read the newspaper and nobody reads the newspaper anymore, hardly.

I mean you do online, but I got rid of my newspaper.

I used to read newspaper all the time, all that paper, paper, paper, paper.

So I went digital.

You know, if I can do it, you can do it, but anyway I hate.

I mean the Chronicle isn't even worth reading Most of the time it's the New York Times rehashed.

I just can't get over how it's just all slanted and all.

Well, why do you have?

Well, because I need to have some information.

I've got, even if it's distorted.

At least I can kind of get the feeling of the local news.

I wish they'd leave the national news out of it.

They don't know what they're talking about.

But anyway, I digress.

I mean we have a supply that God has for us.

That's irrespective of this world.

And so last week we got into Matthew, chapter six, the Sermon on the Mount which we talked about, and we discovered two laws of the kingdom that Jesus gave the people there, and they were so astonished at his teaching that they had never heard anything like it.

See, there were no teaching priests.

They were ignorant of their covenant.

The way that many in the church are today, they don't hear about their covenant, they've just been religiously brainwashed and somehow, especially in the area of finances, the church has got a long way to go to believe God properly for abundance, and we have this especially in America.

We're made to feel guilty for the success and you've got these idiots out on the college campuses, you know, protesting and just throwing rocks at America and so forth.

Listen, western civilization is civilized because of the gospel and that's what they're criticizing folks and the church has just got to stand up and be blessed.

Anyway, you want to be poor and and and dirty and and live in a tent and protest on a college campus and say that you're doing some good and and you know, really, if you were in gaza, they would probably butcher you like they did the jews.

They don't have any respect for you.

They had a group Queers for Gaza.

Are you kidding?

You couldn't survive five minutes in Gaza.

They would kill you right there on the spot.

So this is ignorance personified.

Look, church, we've got to wise up, we've got to rise up.

Amen, wise up and rise up and let's take the word of God and let's believe God for our financial supply.

So we got into the law of serving, or the law of priority.

Jesus is the one that said it there in Matthew 6.

He said you know, you can't serve two masters.

Either you'll hold to the one and love the other, or you'll love the one and hate the other.

You can't serve God and mammon.

Mammon is not just money, it's not just wealth, it's wealth personified, it's like wealth as a being.

You basically deify this world's system, and this world's system is the Antichrist system, that's, who controls all the money in this world right now.

It's under the control of Antichrist spirit.

I mean, you know so you can't.

We have to deal in that system, but we can get a supply out of it.

And so we discovered that the law of serving or the law of priority.

We put God first.

You know Jesus said look, god, your heavenly father knows you have need of clothing and shelter and food, excuse me.

And you know.

If he cares for birds, he cares for you.

How much more does he care for you?

If he cares for the lilies of the field, how much does he care for you?

You know how much more.

See, god cares.

He knows that you have need of all these things, but don't give anxious thought to those things.

And that's what.

When you serve mammon, you give anxious thought every moment of your wealth.

You give anxious thought to your business, anxious thought to this world system.

You're worried about the interest rates, you're worried about inflation, you're worried about all the terrible things that this is just such a lack of common sense.

I've never seen such ignorance in all my life.

Some of the decisions these people are making in every area, not just the financial area, but oh, I mean yelling, and all these people on the Fed, I mean every one of them ought to be fired, you know, banished to Leavenworth, I say but anyway, praise the Lord.

But look, we don't have to depend on that, we have a supply.

So when you serve God, then your supply becomes your servant.

So you change places.

Now you're serving God and your supply comes from him and it serves you.

Why?

Because you're serving the kingdom.

You sought first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.

So what you're doing with your money is a kingdom thing.

So the law of serving or the law of priority.

Then we found the law of calling, and he said why take you anxious thoughts saying what are we going to eat, what are we going to drink, what are we going to put on?

So they were the Jews at that time, and here, in Matthew 6, they were speaking against their supply, they were doubting their supply, they didn't have faith for their supply to come, and they'd had a lot of interruption.

They were under the heel of the Roman empire.

We're under the heel of the Biden crime family.

Well, we're really not, though.

So you can be under that heel if you want to be, but no, let's move over to the kingdom, where we have an uninterrupted supply, amen.

So that law of calling tells me that your supply has a name, it has ears and it will obey you.

So you have to call your supply, and we talked about that last week.

And so he told.

In Malachi, chapter three, the prophet told Israel your words have been stout against me.

Let's, let's make sure the words that we speak are not stout against our supply.

We're interrupting our own supply.

In fact, your supply has more to do with you than does God.

I'm going to say it again your supply, and the amount of it and the timing of it, has more to do with you than it does God.

God has already given the supply.

It's up to you what To receive it.

We've been talking a lot about adjusting our receivers, and so we need to adjust our thinking, our receiving and our thinking about these things with the laws of the kingdom.

Now, today, we're going to get into another law.

Let's turn to 3 John, the third epistle of John, and let's read verse 2.

John's writing to his disciple, elder Gaius, but he's writing to us.

This is written to the church.

He said verse 2, beloved, I wish, or I pray above all things, everybody shout priority.

Beloved I wish or I pray above all things.

Everybody shout priority.

I pray above all things, that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospers.

For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee.

Even as thou walketh in the truth or continue in the truth, I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

What truth is he talking about?

The truth about finances and health.

This is a priority with God.

I mean he's praying.

This is an epistle.

I mean holy men of God wrote as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost.

This is an inspired letter, inspired by the Holy Ghost, to tell us how important our prosperity and our health are to God.

It's of the highest priority.

I said it's of the highest priority, but it's linked to as your soul prospers.

See, sometimes, what's your soul, your mind, your will, your intellect?

I think about the man, the paralyzed man at Bethesda, the pool of Bethesda.

You know he'd been waiting for years.

They once a year, or once ever so often, not a year, but once, ever so often, an angel would show up and stir the waters up and whoever was first down in the pool got healed.

So they're all lined up, waiting, and Jesus shows up and he talks to that man.

He says Wilt thou be made whole, sir, I have no man, I have no man that can get me down there first.

He's looking for a man and the man had shown up.

Oh, the Messiah was there.

The Messiah, see, will you See?

He was thinking wrong.

He had long since abandoned his covenant.

You know, healing was in the Jewish covenant, and supply Jehovah Jireh, the Lord, will provide, the provider was in the covenant.

Jehovah Rapha, the Lord that healeth thee.

That's in the covenant.

They had long since abandoned that.

They had forgotten.

Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and we've got a better covenant than they do, found upon better promises Hebrews 8, 6.

So wrong thinking will adversely affect your success.

See, prosperity means success in business affairs.

Hop priority.

I pray that you prosper, that you're successful Really, if you really read all of the Greek and how it's fit together along life's journey.

I want you to have success in all your business affairs as you live your life down on earth.

That's really what it means.

It's not just about one particular situation you're in.

It's about a constant, uninterrupted supply that you live in Glory.

Come on now.

Y'all, y'all could get happier.

This is the good news.

In fact, oral Roberts told me this is the guts of the gospel.

The good news to the poor is the guts of the gospel.

What's the guts of anything?

Well, it's the inner workings, it's the foundation.

I mean you take the guts out of the guts.

That's why Jesus, he said in Luke 4, 18, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he's anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.

It's first on the list.

Preach the gospel to the poor.

That was first on the list.

You know it's almost an afterthought.

I was in visiting a church one time in Kerrville, texas, years ago and I went through the whole service and you know, they I think they had some prophetic words.

They were, they were holy ghost church.

I guess you know they weren't word of faith, but they were holy ghost.

I didn't back then I didn't know the difference.

You know, I didn't know the difference between one stream and another stream and another stream.

There's so many streams and so many differences and uh, it was a four or five hundred people in there.

It was a pretty good sized church and we got to the end and the guys closed down.

He says oh now I almost forgot.

If y'all brought your tithes and offerings, just throw it in the basket on your way out the door.

They didn't take an offering.

They didn't say anything about giving and receiving.

They didn't teach the people we always teach you at offering.

We have an offering time.

We have a time in the service for you to bring and rejoice your way up front and actually put your offering in the basket.

I mean, we talk a lot about it.

Why?

Because it's the guts of the gospel.

Without money we can't go anywhere.

Try going somewhere without any money.

Try going on vacation with no money.

I mean you roll up to the gas station yeah, I'm on vacation, could you fill it up please?

And you don't have any money?

No, we can't fill it up, thank you, you're stranded.

No, you've got to have money.

We've got to have money to send the laborers into the harvest.

Glory to God.

All right, so wrong.

Thinking adversely affects your success and we have to renew our minds to God's laws.

He's got certain laws and so we're going to discover another one here in Matthew 25.

Matthew 25.

I might not read this entire thing.

It's the parable of the talents and you probably are familiar with it, but I want to get enough of it in you today, where you can see God's perspective and we call it the law of use.

The law of use, you know we have the law of priority, the law of serving, we have the law of calling.

And now, today, the law of use.

You know we have the law of priority or the law of serving.

We have the law of calling.

And now, today, the law of use.

And the context of this parable is the end times.

Matthew 24 is talking about the return of the Lord.

They say they wanted to know what are the signs of your coming and so forth.

There'll be wars and rumors of wars.

There's going to be earthquakes.

I mean, one of the greatest signs in my lifetime just happened right now.

I mean the Aurora Borealis.

You can see it from Conroe.

I mean you can see it from northern Harris County, southern Montgomery County.

That's never happened in my lifetime, but we had this massive storm off of the sun and it affected the northern lights and it's messed up the atmosphere enough to where we can actually see.

Have you ever met Aurora?

She's kind of stuck up.

But anyway, aurora Borealis, she's Greek.

No, no, she's not All right.

So the context of this?

In Matthew 25, he's talking about the five wives and the five foolish virgins.

The foolish virgins were asleep when the bridegroom came, and then they woke up oh, the bridegroom, I don't have any oil.

Oh, it's too late.

And so he's telling the Jews we don't know the day or the hour of the return of the Lord.

We don't know the day.

But be you ready, because verse 14, for the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, wonder who he's talking about?

Jesus, he's talking about himself.

He's talking about the kingdom and the law of the kingdom.

It's like a man traveling into a far country who called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods.

See, that's what we want to get into you, that things that we put our name on aren't really ours.

You've got your name on the title of your car, probably.

You've got your name on the title of your house, if you have a house.

You have the name on the lease of your rent house or your apartment, but it's not yours.

Everything is God's.

But he gives us what we need to be stewards over and he's going to hold us accountable on how we handle everything we have Stewardship over.

So he handed them, delivered unto them, his goods Verse 15, and unto one he gave five talents, and to another two and to another one according to their several ability, and straightway took his journey.

Notice it was not diversity, equity and inclusion, it was not the same, see D-E-I is Marxismism, plain and simple.

When you hear that they they've kind of you know, they've kind of changed all the language around.

Now they made it sound really good.

I.

I hear churches talking about diversity.

Oh, come on, give me a break.

We're about.

I mean, we look like heaven, we've got all every color here, and it's not because we have some kind of program to make it happen.

This diversity, equity and inclusion is just a Marxist lie, and God is a capitalist right here.

He assigned talents to these three groups, three people according to their ability.

So the guy with five must have had something on the ball.

I say a guy might have been a gal, I don't know, and then a two, and then one.

They weren't the same.

And a talent, by the way, is the largest denomination of currency, and Bible scholars, you know, say that that's not just, you know, like a coin, that is like a lifetime supply.

So it would be around between half a million and a million dollars per talent.

So the guy with five talents got $5 million to work with and the other one had $2 million and the guy with the least amount had $1 million.

You wouldn't be violating Scripture to think of it in those terms.

Does that sound like a God that's chinchy?

Does that sound like a God that doesn't have confidence in his own children?

Amen, amen, amen.

And so verse 16,.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same.

He entered into business enterprise.

See, he began to prosper, he entered into business enterprise.

See, he began to prosper.

You know you can't prosper sitting on top of your money buried in the ground.

You've got to put it to work, you've got to do something with it, and God is holding you accountable.

Are you going to make a return on his money?

That subject of this whole thing is the accountability.

There comes a day of reckoning Because the man who took the long journey comes back.

Jesus is coming back and he's going to want to report.

What did you do with what I gave you?

Did you use it or did you bury it?

Well, the guy with five said hey, lord, your five gained another five.

Well done thou, good and faithful servant.

Thou has been faithful over a few things.

I'm going to make you ruler over much.

Enter into the joy of the Lord.

I mean, god was impressed.

God, according to this, this man that stands for God, stands for Jesus, are y'all with me now?

And he said the same thing to the guy with two Lord, your two has gained two more.

I got out there and I knocked them dead in the stock market.

I knocked them.

I knocked them dead in the commodities market.

Man, I made.

I made a lot of money on my cattle ranch or whatever.

And he said well done thou, good and faithful servant.

You've been faithful over little.

I'm going to make you ruler over much.

Enter thou into the joy of the Lord.

Then the guy with the one oh Lord, I knew you were hard man reaping where you hadn't sown, and I was afraid.

He actually said I knew you were hard man reaping where you hadn't sown, and I was afraid.

He actually said I was afraid and I took your talent, I took your million dollars and I buried it in the ground.

Here it is, here it is.

It's all there.

You want to count it?

It's all there.

I didn't steal any of it, it's all there.

You wicked and lazy servant.

One gospel says you, wicked and unprofitable servant, see these people that believe in poverty.

These people believe that it's wrong to have money.

They don't read their Bibles.

They just don't read their Bibles.

I read my Bible.

I read my Bible and I realize that God takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

He takes pleasure in it.

Don't you take pleasure when your kids do well, amen.

So he said you know, take from him the talent and give it to the one that's got ten, and he shall have abundance.

Woo, talk about being astounded at the teaching of the Lord.

See, I mean, he was preaching this.

I bet they were astounded to hear that.

I think a lot of the church is astounded to hear that you talk about the opposite of communism.

It's the opposite.

God is a capitalist period.

I'm saying it online.

God is a capitalist.

Deal with it.

You little Marxist Wink-a-dink, I mean, come on.

Everywhere there's been Marxism and communism, it's terrible.

It's a terrible place.

You wouldn't want to live there.

It's horrible.

What made the West better?

It was the gospel.

Originally it was good in Europe.

Now, you know, europe is falling apart.

Why?

Because they've imported all the foreign gods.

They've imported all the people that don't believe that way and it's affecting their government.

Man, great Britain is in a mess.

France is a mess.

It used to be blessed.

Why?

Because of the gospel, and America is headed that way unless we do something about it.

We're planning on doing something about it.

Amen, all right.

So so he, that one, the guy that was afraid and buried it and didn't use it.

He lost it and it went into the coffers of the guy that had it and so he could have abundance.

Everybody say transfer of wealth.

You know God is.

You know, promotion cometh not from the south, the east and west, but God is a judge.

He puts down one, sets up another.

Who's he going to set up?

Who's he going to promote?

Somebody that's obedient, somebody that's renewed their mind to his laws and gets on the correct side of those laws.

This, this, this man here with the one talent.

He was on the total wrong side.

He's on the total wrong side.

And you know what else he told him?

He said, okay, send him out in the outer darkness where there'll be weeping and gnashing of teeth, you may.

Just because he didn't produce no, not just because he didn't produce, but because he didn't really believe the word he's not eligible to enter.

See, the only way we could go to heaven is through the new birth and believe in God's word.

Could go to heaven is through the new birth and believe in God's word.

There's no good people going to heaven.

Well, he's a good, he's a good man, he's going to go to heaven.

I hear these people all the time So-and-so died.

Oh, he was a good man, I'll see him in heaven.

No, you probably won't, because he wasn't born again.

There's no.

That's the only way to get there.

That's what you know, that's worthy of you getting, uh, having an abundant supply, so you can send that message all over the world.

Amen, all right.

So, uh, the law of everybody, say the law of use, use it or lose it.

Say we're, we're gonna, we're gonna have a reckoning.

God is gonna reckon with us about how we handled what he gave us.

Let let's look at 2 Kings 4.

Are you getting anything out of this today?

2 Kings, chapter 4.

2 Kings 4 · chapter mention

And this woman was a widow, verse 1.

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets, unto Elisha, saying Thy servant, my husband, is dead and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord and the creditor is.

He borrowed everything and borrowed up to the hilt and couldn't pay his debt.

And now he's dead, no insurance, and she's doing what she's crying unto the prophet.

And I'm not going to read all of it.

You can read all of it later.

But I can say that he said well, what do you want me to do for you, woman?

What have you got in the house?

He asked her two questions.

First of all, what do you want me to do about it?

And then he said what have you got in the house?

Well, thy handmaiden hadn't got anything in the house save a pot of oil.

She almost forgot about the pot of oil.

She had completely forgot that she had a jar of oil Big deal.

I'm reminded of the five loaves and the two fish.

What have we got?

Well, we've got a little boy's lunch, but what is that among so many?

Well, bring it to me.

I'll show you how much it is.

I'll show you how to feed 20,000 people with five loaves and two fishes.

What did Jesus ask the disciples to do at that miracle?

Take inventory.

What was the prophet asking this woman to do?

Take inventory.

What have you got in the house?

Well, I don't have anything in the house.

Well, I got a pot of oil.

What's so what?

She didn't say so what, but I'm saying so what?

That's the Griner translation.

And he said all right.

He said you go and borrow of your neighbor's vessels.

Borrow, not a few.

Go borrow some jars.

All you got's a pot of oil.

Get out there and borrow a bunch of jars, put them in your house and when you get in your house, close the door and pour out into the empty vessels out of what you have.

That didn't make a lot of sense, but she at least abated.

So she sent the boys.

She didn't go, she sent their two boys out.

Earn your keep, get out there.

I mean they went from client to cut and shoot.

They borrowed 666 yards.

Now you can't prove that they didn't.

I'm just saying 666 jars is what they borrowed, because that's the Antichrist system Borrowed 666 jars.

Put them all in that little house.

I mean, they were sitting on the countertop.

They're sitting on the kitchen floor, the kitchen table.

You go in the bathroom.

They're sitting on the toilet tank.

They're sitting in the tub, they're sitting on the floor.

They're everywhere.

The jar 666, everybody's 666 jars.

You can't prove it didn't happen.

I'm just the grinder translation.

Again, that's the way I like to picture it.

I like to picture everything in my mind, that's in the Bible.

I like to complete the picture.

What did it look like?

This little house is crammed full of jars.

There's no room for jars.

And so she says, okay, let's come in the house.

Shut the door, see, and she started pouring out Jar number one glug glug, glug, glug it the house.

Shut the door, see, and she started pouring out Jar number one glug glug, glug, glug.

It's full.

Jar number two glug, glug, glug, it's full.

Wow, man, what is this?

What's going on here?

Jar number three.

Jar number four jar number 666.

Okay, where's the next jar?

All of these 660,?

Where's the 667th?

Mama?

That's all the jars.

We cleaned them out in 10 counties.

There ain't no more jars and the oil stayed.

It stopped multiplying because there's no place to pour.

Are y'all getting this?

The law of use?

The law of use, the law of use.

And so she sends to the prophet, says okay, we did it.

He said, okay, sell the oil, pay your debt right and live off the rest.

Oh, glory to God.

See, god cares about you paying your debt.

He doesn't want you to be a deadbeat.

I mean, if you borrowed it, look, this was a monumental issue.

I mean, there's no telling what this guy had borrowed money on.

He wasn't using wisdom, like a lot of people.

In this economy, it's easy to start spending what you don't have.

I've read where credit card debt is off the chart.

Well, that's exactly what it was like in the seventies under Jimmy Cotta.

I've lived under Jimmy Cotta and this is the same thing I'm going to tell you right now.

We don't have to worry about who's in the white house.

As far as our money is concerned, we have a supply from our kingdom, glory to God.

But the law of use we've got to cooperate with the law of use.

Hallelujah See, the prophet had to interrupt her focus.

She was focused on what she didn't have.

She was focused on the need.

He had to get her to focus on what she had.

Whatever you have is enough for your miracle.

The little boy's lunch was enough for that miracle.

Whatever you have, I don't care how small it is, if you'll start using it, but if you start hoarding it and you start putting it up and you start put it in the, in the root cellar, and you, you know, and you just kind of get it out, as you know, oh, I gotta, I gotta, preserve that.

Listen, I'm gonna tell you that's the way, that's the way down.

This church, for 30 years, has been gathering vessels.

We've been pouring out into vessels.

For 30 years, I'm telling you, glory to God, we've got such a seed in the ground all over this world so that when you pour into this church, and not only tithes but offerings, you're pouring into something that's been pouring out.

Remember, last week we had Rhema Day.

Well, and we sent Rhema 3,500 bucks Congratulations.

Y'all got part of that of Rhema Day.

We got to sow some seed and we got to pour some in some vessels that are all over the world preaching this word.

Are y'all with me now?

Praise God.

So the law of use.

And uh, you know, I was reading brother Hagan recently and he was telling the testimony and uh, you know, there's some things that you've got to settle in your heart once and for all.

The integrity of God's word, that would.

God said it.

He's not a liar, he's he, he.

He can't lie.

If he said it, he'll do it.

If he spoke it, he'll make it good.

You can settle when God says something it's true.

Let God be true and every man a liar.

I know that sounds trite, that sounds like oh well, do you really when the creditor's coming?

Do you really when things just don't look like they're working out too well?

There are some things you've got to settle and for Brother Hagin it happened when he was 16.

The doctors had given up on him.

Even the Baptist preacher had given up on him and told his mother and grandmother.

He says you've got to let this bore.

He's got to cope with the fact he's going to die.

He hasn't accepted death yet.

This is why he's so upset.

He's not, you know, he's not peaceful, look, you just need to get him to accept that it's.

You know healing is done away with.

There is no healing.

Just get him to accept death.

But Brother Hagin been reading his Bible.

He saw a healing Jesus.

He saw a Jesus that healed everybody.

And he, when he was 16, he knew more than the Baptist preacher and he said God.

He said if I don't come out of this bed of sickness, he's paralyzed 14 months, couldn't move, couldn't walk.

He said, if I don't come out off of this bed of sickness, then you lied.

And if you lied, this Bible isn't any good and I might as well just throw it in the trash and burn it.

Now see, that's what you get.

You get down and I will say down and dirty.

But I mean, you know you get down to the brass tacks of something and you have to decide.

Listen, this is the way it is.

I don't care what it looks like, I don't care what this preacher said, I don't care what that person said.

I know God can't lie.

See, that's the attitude you have to have about your money.

You've got to know.

And so years later now he's on the field ministry.

He was a pastor for 12 years.

Now he's on the field ministry, was a pastor for 12 years and now he's on the field minister traveling.

And it's Christmas time coming up, on Christmas time 1949.

He's preaching at First Assembly of God in Plainview, texas.

Plainview, texas, is a long way from Garland where he lived, andtha's back home at Garland.

He's in Plainview the last Sunday before Christmas after this service.

He's leaving, coming back home, and he and Aretha.

He said now, aretha, let's decide how much money we need for Christmas.

We've got to have more than just what we normally have.

We're going to have to have a little extra for Christmas.

Ken and Pat, we've got to have Christmas for Ken and Pat.

They're kids.

And so they agreed on amount of money that they needed.

He said okay, what I want you to do, then, at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, you go to your Bible, open it to Matthew 18, 19.

If two or more shall agree on earth as touching anything they ask, it will be done of them, of my Father which is in heaven.

He said you open your Bible to that and you agree and I agree at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.

See, they didn't have text messages, they didn't have cell phones, they just arranged for a 3 o'clock.

Why 3 o'clock?

Because the evening service is coming up that night and you, we're going to agree before that service that money will come in, that money, amount of money, is going to come in for our Christmas and our needs.

And so, you know, that night they did that three.

He did three o'clock, you know, he got his Bible, did what he told her to do and he had trusted that she did the same thing.

And so then they had the service, and you know, it was Christmas, you know, and all the hoopla and all the special music and stuff and all that.

And the offering came in, but the ushers didn't count it, they just laid it on the table and left.

Everybody locked it up.

And so him and the pastor went back there and here's the offering laying there on the table and he's got to get the offering so he can leave.

I don't know if he's leaving that night or leaving the next morning, but either way he said well, let's you and I count the offering.

So they sat down and counted the offering and it was $23.12 short of what he and Aretha had agreed.

They said no, no, this can't be right, this can't be right.

It's $23.12 short.

He said well, brother Hagin, we must have made a mistake.

Let's count it again.

Don't you appreciate a pastor that didn't just try to sweep it under the rug?

The pastor says yeah, let's count it again.

They counted it again $23.12 short.

No, no, no, it can't be, it can't be.

My wife and I agreed.

He said well, you know, if your wife and you agreed it has to be here, it has to be.

Let's count it again Three times.

They counted the offering.

It's still $23.12 short.

And they're still talking about it.

And then, after the third time, brother Hagin says oh, I remember now.

This woman bought a Bible from me before the service and paid me, and he remembered.

So he had forgotten that he had sold a Bible for $25 at the book table before the service began.

He's out there sitting at his own book table selling his books and selling Bibles.

And the lady said now, look, I'm going to make the check out for the Bible.

I'm buying a Bible for my husband, but I'm going to add something to the check for an offering.

I want to give you an offering.

And he had folded that check and put it in his wallet.

He got his wallet out undid the check and it's for exactly $50, $25 for the Bible and $25 offering.

He had $1.88 more than what his wife and he had agreed on, and now he can go home.

Now he can go home.

Or when did that start?

It started when he was 16 years old.

You might as well just.

If this isn't true, then you're a liar, and I might as well just throw this Bible in the trash and burn it.

How sure are you?

You don't get sure, just listening one time, but you get sure over a lifetime.

You get sure, over and over.

Faith cometh by hearing and hearing, and hearing and hearing and hearing the same thing over and over and over.

Come on, lift your hand right now.

Glory to God, oh, hallelujah, that's not how big a problem you've got.

It's just how big your God is.

And can you trust him to do what he said he would do?

Amen?

I hear everybody saying yes, sir, yes, yes, I can, yes, I can, yes, I can.

Glory to God.

So the laws of serving, the laws of calling, the laws of use, when employed in faith, will ensure that your constant, uninterrupted supply will keep you to be a blessing.

We have been blessed to be a blessing.
