  1. Get your Bible out.

  2. If you don't have it, put it on pause and go get your Bible.

  3. Lift it up and wave it around, make Jesus glad and the devil mad.

  4. And let's say this together say Heavenly Father, I'm here to magnify the Lord today and exalt His name.

  5. Lord, you've exalted your Word above all, your name and Lord, your Word is coming forth today and I believe I receive understanding, revelation that will change my life forever.

  6. This is indeed a changing day for me.

  7. In Jesus' name, amen, you can be seated.

  8. And let's turn in our Bibles to Philippians, chapter 4.

    Philippians 4 chapter mention

  9. And we're going to read a very familiar verse.

  10. A lot of people can quote it, but I'm going to read it Philippians 4.19.

  11. Some of you already know it, you've memorized it over and over again.

  12. You speak it, and Paul is writing to the church at Philippi and he said in verse 19,.

  13. But my God shall supply 74.6% of all of your needs.

  14. 49.8%, he will all, all of your needs.

  15. What does all mean?

  16. It means all.

  17. My God shall supply all your need according to his riches.

  18. Oh, jesus was so poor.

  19. No, he's rich.

  20. He was made poor at one point in time on the cross.

  21. But he's rich before and he's rich.

  22. Now he's rich.

  23. How many of you know?

  24. God doesn't lack anything right.

  25. So according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus, in other words, the manner in which that he supplies our need, praise God.

  26. And so everybody say I have a kingdom supply.

  27. Amen, if you've got a need, there is a corresponding kingdom supply.

  28. I want to preach a series of messages, and it may be four weeks and I don't know, maybe I'll get stuck on part of these for more than a beauty of being a pastor.

  29. I don't have a schedule necessarily that I have to meet.

  30. The main thing is to get this word into you and make you supply conscious, and not is to get this word into you and make you supply conscious and not inflation conscious.

  31. You know you're tempted to be inflation conscious, but we need to be supply conscious.

  32. So these messages are entitled receiving your kingdom supply.

  33. Everybody say I'm supply conscious.

  34. See, inflation conscious.

  35. It's a dead end.

  36. It creates fear, it creates frustration.

  37. We don't deny there's inflation.

  38. I've lived through these kind of times In the 70s under Jimmy Cotta.

  39. You know, democrats, that's what they want to do.

  40. They want to take over the economy.

  41. They want to spend every money we don't have and compete in the marketplace for the money to borrow.

  42. See, they borrow all the money and there's nothing left for small businessmen to borrow except at a high interest rate.

  43. So interest rates go up, housing goes through the floor you can't buy a house unless you've got a pot full of money and rent goes up.

  44. Everything goes up.

  45. But their spending goes up and their taxes go up.

  46. They're already talking about trying to get rid of Trump's tax cuts and steal more money from you.

  47. See, that's the world we live in, but guess what?

  48. We don't have to fit into that world.

  49. We have the kingdom of God, and I want to share with you some things that I've been able to learn over 40 years of the Word of God in my life.

  50. I've learned a lot from the mistakes I've made.

  51. Listen, I believe in giving and tithing, and giving over and above the tithe, and as a giver over and above the tithe, I've been broke three times.

  52. I've been homeless.

  53. So you know, it's not the whole thing, that's not the whole enchilada, it's the main thing.

  54. We need to be givers.

  55. I want to say that up front.

  56. If you're a stingy mingy, you're in for trouble.

  57. You're going to have to develop and grow in the grace of generosity.

  58. It's a grace that God can grant you.

  59. He can make you.

  60. Even by nature you're kind of stingy.

  61. You're tighter than Dick's hat band has anybody ever.

  62. Did you ever meet Dick?

  63. I mean, if you ever met him, you'd know he's tight.

  64. I mean, when he walks, his ears wiggle, that's how tight he is.

  65. Y'all are so solemn this morning.

  66. That's what happens when I start talking about money.

  67. People get real tense.

  68. Everybody say I've got a kingdom supply.

  69. And so over these messages, I want to share some, some principles.

  70. I want to share some laws of the kingdom that Jesus shared.

  71. Uh, and himself, jesus himself and also the epistles have a lot to say about these things.

  72. And you know, if you can receive this truth and begin to alter your life and make adjustments and we've been talking a lot about adjusting our receivers, haven't we?

  73. So here we have it again receiving your kingdom supply.

  74. God has a supply for you.

  75. It's already been poured out.

  76. I got news for you.

  77. It's already available.

  78. But whether you're going to receive it or not is up to you.

  79. So that's the reason why we want to preach the word and give you what God said about it.

  80. So this morning we're going to get into the Sermon on the Mount.

  81. That's Matthew, chapters five, six and seven.

  82. This was a revolutionary and it really was all one day.

  83. It took three chapters in Matthew just to put down what all Jesus told this crowd of Jews on the mount.

  84. And they were astonished.

  85. In the last chapter, verse 7, it says that they were astonished, all these people that heard Jesus speak these things.

  86. In Matthew 5, 6, and 7, it says in 7, in the last couple of verses of chapter 7, it says that they were astonished at his teaching.

  87. For he taught them as one who had authority.

  88. In other words, he knew what he was talking about and he conveyed the truths in such a way that they were amazed.

  89. You see, the Jewish people were backslid.

  90. They were under the heel of Job, I mean Caesar.

  91. The Roman Empire had taken over.

  92. Why had Israel lost?

  93. Israel was guilty of sin.

  94. They violated their covenant.

  95. They forgot their motto in God we trust.

  96. No, that's America.

  97. I get them mixed up sometimes, I get them confused.

  98. It's the same thing really.

  99. Honestly, we're going through the same thing in the church.

  100. It's sat around twiddling its thumbs and you know, trying to build a better mouse trap and trying to figure out different ways of ministry and just not influencing anything.

  101. Now it's changing.

  102. Now it's changing.

  103. I'm telling you, right now, things, things are changing fast and people are waking up.

  104. The church is waking up, all right.

  105. So, uh, let's turn in Matthew, chapter six.

  106. I want to read you a part of this.

  107. I don't, we won't.

  108. Uh, I'll give you some homework read, read all of it.

  109. Read Matthew chapter five, six and seven.

  110. Get the whole sermon on the Mount.

  111. But, uh, for us, this morning, we're going to start reading with Matthew 6, verse 24, and we're going to discover a couple of laws of the kingdom that if you'll understand these laws and allow them to hold sway in your life, you will benefit.

    Matthew 6:24

  112. Verse 24, no man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.

  113. You cannot serve God and mammon.

  114. Therefore, I say unto you take no thought, no anxious thought.

  115. That word take no thought means anxious thought Doesn't mean that you don't plan.

  116. It doesn't mean that you just go around like brain dead, like you had a lobotomy or something.

  117. No, it means that you don't worry and fret.

  118. Take no anxious thought for your life.

  119. What you shall eat, what you shall drink, nor yet for your body what you shall put on.

  120. It is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment.

  121. Behold the fowls of the air.

  122. If they don't sow, neither do they reap or gather into barns, yet heavenly father feeds them.

  123. Are you not much better than they?

  124. Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit under your stature?

  125. And why?

  126. Why take ye thought for raiment?

  127. Anxious thought again, see, every time it says that when you look it up in your concordance.

  128. Anxious thought.

  129. I thought about what I was going to wear today and I decided to have some red shoes I'm going to wear.

  130. I decided that.

  131. I thought about it, but I wasn't worried about what you thought of my red shoes.

  132. I just put them on.

  133. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow.

  134. They toil not, neither do they spin.

  135. And yet I say unto you that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed as one of these.

  136. Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, o ye of little faith?

  137. See, little faith worries about food, shelter and clothing.

  138. Little faith worries.

  139. Therefore, take no anxious thoughts saying what shall we eat?

  140. Take no thought saying.

  141. Take no thought saying Hear words.

  142. Take no anxious saying.

  143. Take no thought saying your words.

  144. Take no anxious thought saying what are we going to eat?

  145. What are we going to drink?

  146. How are we going to be clothed?

  147. For after all these things do the Gentiles seek, for your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.

  148. He knows you have needs, but seek ye first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

  149. Therefore, no thought for the tomorrow, for the tomorrow shall take thought of things of itself sufficient under the day as the evil.

  150. Thereof.

  151. I mean tomorrow's another day.

  152. We take one day at a time.

  153. We don't worry about things tomorrow.

  154. It hadn't got here yet.

  155. Let's pay attention to today.

  156. That's all that means.

  157. So Jesus here astonished everyone with this statement.

  158. You have to understand.

  159. The Jews were backslid.

  160. They hadn't been taught.

  161. There were no teaching priests.

  162. They hadn't been taught.

  163. There were no teaching priests.

  164. They hadn't been taught accurately about their covenant.

  165. Most of them didn't tithe.

  166. Most of them didn't give, including the priests.

  167. Malachi was sent to that group 400 years before and rebuked the priesthood because they had left off tithing and offerings.

  168. And he told them you've robbed God.

  169. What do you mean?

  170. We robbed God.

  171. How did we rob you in tithes and offerings?

  172. And you've been cursed with a curse.

  173. I mean, you know, malachi roasted them over an open fire and it didn't change them this.

  174. 400 years later, god quit talking to them.

  175. God held his peace and went 400 years with no profit to Israel and in the meantime they lost their country.

  176. They were ruled by Romans, the cruelest kingdom there was.

  177. They invented all these horrible tortures and so forth and so on.

  178. You read about what they did to people.

  179. It was, it was, you know.

  180. It wasn't that much worse than Hitler.

  181. It was horrible what they invented.

  182. They invented crucifixion, terrible torture.

  183. They ruled with an iron fist and you know, the people's idea of God was a God of anger, a God of judgment, a God that was not for them.

  184. Well see, they weren't taught properly.

  185. It wasn't God that was against them.

  186. They had become their own worst enemy.

  187. They had cheated themselves by departing from the covenant.

  188. Are you with me now?

  189. No, god's for them every day.

  190. God loved them.

  191. They were the apple of his eye.

  192. It disappointed God, but God cannot bless a mess.

  193. God cannot bless disobedience and he can't do that with the New Testament any more than he can with the old.

  194. A lot of people have the idea oh yeah, the New Testament.

  195. Well, the New Testament's better.

  196. We have a better covenant found upon better promises.

  197. But let me tell you, when you depart from the Word of God, you start walking in the devil's territory and he can steal, kill and destroy, even though that's not God's will for you.

  198. Are you all with me now?

  199. So he taught them there that, hey, god cares about your needs.

  200. How much more?

  201. If he's going to take care of the lilies, if he's going to take care of the berries, how much more would he take care of you?

  202. Yeah, see, they were blown away.

  203. They were amazed that God loved them and cared for them.

  204. That's what they got out of Matthew, chapter 5, 6, and 7.

    Matthew 5 chapter mention

  205. They got the love side of God.

  206. They got the love side of their covenant.

  207. And let me just remind you the Jews were not God's children.

  208. No, they're not sons and daughters we are.

  209. We've been born again.

  210. We've been born from above and we've been adopted as children.

  211. Yeah, they were the root and we've been grafted into the root.

  212. The root is holy and the grafting in is holy, but we are the sons and daughters of God.

  213. Now, if God loved his children, see, god loved his people.

  214. They're his chosen ones.

  215. He chose one nation out of 70 and he chose the hebrew nation, and they're the chosen ones.

  216. But they're not sons and daughters, they're more like servants.

  217. And yet they had a love relationship with god.

  218. God told them I want you to love me, love the lord, your god, with all your heart and all your soul and love your neighbor as yourself.

  219. God told them to love.

  220. They just weren't capable of doing it.

  221. They just couldn't love God the way that we can.

  222. Why?

  223. Because we have the agape shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost when we got saved.

  224. We can love God truly now.

  225. But God loved them and they didn't know that.

  226. So Jesus is letting them in on a secret and they were amazed.

  227. So let's look at these laws Now.

  228. The first one that I see is verse 24.

  229. You cannot serve God and mammon.

  230. Mammon is wealth, but mammon is wealth personified.

  231. Mammon is like wealth as a God.

  232. It's like wealth as a person.

  233. They construct wealth as a person.

  234. In other places it's called the unrighteous mammon.

  235. Oh, that's right, pastor.

  236. You know wealth, riches it's evil.

  237. Money is evil.

  238. No, no, the love of money is evil.

  239. The love of money makes this world's mammon unrighteous because it personifies it.

  240. Your whole life is spent around it, wanting it, desiring it, at the expense of God.

  241. You're not putting God first, you're putting money first.

  242. Rich young ruler.

  243. That's what happened to rich young ruler.

  244. He loved God.

  245. Jesus looked at him and loved him.

  246. He said Lord, I've kept all the commandments.

  247. And Jesus looked at him and loved him.

  248. He said one thing you lack.

  249. See what was the thing he lacked?

  250. He had mammon up there on the pedestal, and not God.

  251. He served mammon.

  252. Mammon was this world's antichrist, spirit-controlled Bidenflation.

  253. See, you're going to worry about inflation.

  254. You're worried about mammon.

  255. Let's serve God.

  256. Let's put God first, let's seek him first, let's do everything that we can to magnify him.

  257. Forget about this stuff.

  258. God's supply will exceed anything that the economy ever tries to do.

  259. You can't serve both.

  260. So it's the law of serving, or we could say the law of priority.

  261. It's not that you don't pay any attention to money.

  262. You know, as far as God is concerned, you know the Bible says the earth is the Lord's and the fullness therein, the world and they that dwell therein.

  263. So everything is God's.

  264. So when you start looking at everything that you've got your name on your car title, your home, your apartment, wherever you live, I mean you know your desk, your cubicle, your name, your apartment, wherever you live, I mean all.

  265. You know your desk, your, your, your cubicle, your name on the office, your name in front of the.

  266. You know if you're a business owner and all of that.

  267. Really you don't own anything.

  268. You're just a steward of what God gave you.

  269. All of it is his.

  270. That's the first adjustment you've got to make.

  271. You've got to realize that we are stewards and in that case we do have to watch over what God gave us.

  272. We have to pay attention to it.

  273. We can't just, you know, just forget about it.

  274. Oh, I'm just going to pray today and I'm not going to pay my bills.

  275. That doesn't work.

  276. You're going to pay your bills, but you're going to put God first.

  277. Are you with me now?

  278. All right?

  279. So the law of serving, or the law of priority, and so God knows you have needs.

  280. But even before you ask it, you know I like Luke 12, 32.

  281. Fear not, little flock, for it's the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

  282. You know when you I mean I used to I used to have to quote that in my backyard leaning up against a tree.

  283. You know when I, when everything was dark and terrible and it just every day was just tough to wake up to the challenges that I had in my business.

  284. It was failing.

  285. And here I am a tither and here I am a giver, and I and I've got to, just I've got to meditate on this word because it just didn't look like it was true in my case, but I knew the word is true all the time.

  286. I might not be manifesting it, but it's on my side.

  287. I've got to find out what I've done wrong.

  288. I've got to find out where did I miss it?

  289. What law am I violating?

  290. What law am I not cooperating?

  291. Are you all with me now?

  292. These messages will change your life, not only your financial life, but your life in general.

  293. You get the right emphasis.

  294. So putting God first and his kingdom will bring the kingdom supply into manifestation.

  295. So he said look at the birds.

  296. I mean, you know, brother Ed Dufresne, he had a pretty big nut to crack.

  297. Every month in his ministry he used to come here.

  298. He's in heaven now.

  299. But I mean, you know, I remember one time he had a jet that had to be rebuilt.

  300. It was $175,000 to rebuild that jet engine and you know he said, I just go out and I'd look at the birds.

  301. You know, I just go meditate, go out there and look at the birds.

  302. You know that's what he'd do.

  303. I mean, he just reminded himself of what Jesus told him and that was a need that he had.

  304. It's a big need.

  305. It was unscheduled.

  306. He didn't have any money, you know, built up ahead of time to meet that need.

  307. Sometimes things come up that we weren't prepared for, and so we ought to pay enough attention to our finances to get prepared for the things that we know about.

  308. For instance, april 15th just came and taxes were due and most of us have our withholding and taxes are withheld out of our check and most of the time, you know, a lot of times, people have it set that where the IRS owes you money, I hate for the IRS to have any of my money to waste and give to the Ukraine and give to.

  309. I'm sorry if you're from the Ukraine, I'm sorry, I apologize, but I just don't believe in that.

  310. I don't believe.

  311. Listen, we don't.

  312. We're not here to help prop up all these countries that have done wrong.

  313. And they've got oligarchs, they've got, they've got billionaires that are skimming American money and selling arms and all kind of things.

  314. I mean, look, it's a dirty place and I'm sorry.

  315. I know there's innocent people there.

  316. Well, you know, the Christians need to start praying.

  317. Ooh, pastor, why'd you get into that?

  318. Because there's so much idiocy about it.

  319. Religious talk is what it is and you know, let's put God first.

  320. Let's put God first.

  321. So, um, anyway, uh, I don't like to have them have my taxes and give me 500 or a thousand or 3000.

  322. Or somebody said, oh, I got 6,000 back.

  323. Well, you just let them have 6,000 of your money, interest free, and the interest now is pretty expensive.

  324. Under Trump it was like a 1.5% interest, but now it's what?

  325. 7.5%, 8.5% Mortgages went up to 7% just the other day again.

  326. And they keep talking about they're going to cut the interest rate.

  327. They can't cut it.

  328. Why?

  329. Because they keep borrowing the money, they keep sucking the money out of the economy.

  330. There's no way for them to cut the interest rate.

  331. So if you're going to concentrate on that, you're going to be frustrated.

  332. You're going to, you're going to come up, you're going to come behind, but let me, god's got to work around.

  333. If you put him first, I'm telling you his supply will exceed anything that they mess up and they have messed it up, haven't they?

  334. That they mess up?

  335. And they have messed it up, haven't they?

  336. So he'd go out and he'd just, he'd go, look at I'm talking about Brother Ed.

  337. He'd go out, ed Dufresne, he'd go out and watch the birds for a couple hours, you know.

  338. And that money came in Amen.

  339. So when you know you've got a need, hey, let's get on top of that, let's not.

  340. But then sometimes needs come up.

  341. A bill will rise up and it's huge, and you don't know what to do.

  342. Well, don't panic, because if there's a need, god has a supply for it and you can look in the face of those bills and say I got the supply for this.

  343. I want to build in you that kind of confidence in God's word that you will never be intimidated again by inflation or by any kind of craziness that we're going to see.

  344. I'm just.

  345. We live in the last days.

  346. There's a special grace over the church to reap a mighty harvest, not only of souls but also of money, because it's going to take money to reap the souls, all right.

  347. So tithing and giving I'm going to share a lot more about that in other weeks, but just to let you know, tithing is not just 10%, it's the first 10th.

  348. And in tithing you're not giving, you're returning to God what's his.

  349. You're showing God everything I have is yours, but all you require is the first tenth.

  350. So I take the first tenth right off the top.

  351. Before I pay any bills, before I pay my mortgage, before I pay my insurance, before I pay my mortgage, before I pay my insurance, before I pay my car payment, I give you the first 10th.

  352. Now, that's not giving, that's tithing and that is the way we honor God and it has special benefits associated with the tithe.

  353. And you don't start giving until after the tithe.

  354. So when people say they give and they don't tithe, guess what they're not giving?

  355. There is no giving.

  356. You're not getting a return on your giving either.

  357. I mean, the giving is understood.

  358. It's after the tithe, see, because the 90% now is what he allows you to keep.

  359. It's not yours, but he allows you to keep it.

  360. And now he's looking.

  361. We're going to teach you all these principles later on, but now he's looking how do you handle the 90%, what?

  362. How much of that do you give in offerings?

  363. How much of that do you use to continue to honor God?

  364. And then he starts to multiply the seed that you sow seed that you sow, and so it's God Giving over and above the tithe has wonderful benefits associated with that.

  365. So we're going to get into that.

  366. But all of that has to do with putting God first.

  367. That's what the in Malachi, that's what the priests weren't doing.

  368. They weren't putting God first and they were cursed with a curse the church has.

  369. We can't afford to be cursed with a curse the church has.

  370. We can't afford to be cursed.

  371. I mean, the harvest is here.

  372. We've got to get ourselves in gear and begin to gain the upper hand on the economic situation of our personal economies.

  373. All right, so, um, so when you obey God's command to honor him and put him first, it accrues to your supply, All right.

  374. The second law that I see here is found in verse 31, matthew 6.

  375. And it says therefore, take no anxious thought saying what shall we eat?

  376. What shall we drink?

  377. Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

  378. So anxious thoughts bring anxious words.

  379. Anxious words would be.

  380. You begin to question your supply.

  381. See, they're questioning their supply.

  382. They've been doing that for a long time.

  383. Why?

  384. Because they hadn't been taught.

  385. There was no teaching priest.

  386. A lot of the church does that.

  387. It's just a bad habit.

  388. It's how you're raised.

  389. If you're raised in a household that was poor and you just had, you know, one of eight kids, I mean they counted the chicken.

  390. I mean you know the youngest kid got the back.

  391. I mean the older kids got the best chicken and they got what was left over was the back.

  392. I mean you ever try to eat a fried chicken back?

  393. I mean there's not much there.

  394. A bunch of bones and some crust of the.

  395. If you fry it it's got some batter on it.

  396. There's not much there to eat.

  397. They figured, well, the little kid, they don't need that much anyway, we'll eat the white meat.

  398. Anyway, I mean she grew up in a.

  399. Her daddy died when she was nine years old.

  400. Her mother, I mean she was a poor widow and when we were dating I mean I'd go over to Gladys' house and there'd be a stack of clothes hanging from a door.

  401. She'd have a rack up there and she'd iron clothes, nickel a piece or whatever.

  402. She charged.

  403. I don't know what it was.

  404. She'd just be all day long standing there ironing clothes, ironing clothes, ironing starch and ironing clothes, hanging them up.

  405. She did it because that's all she could do.

  406. That's all she could do to make any money.

  407. So Gladys grew up in a tough, poor house.

  408. I mean, she grew up, you know, without very much and you know I grew up abundance.

  409. I mean gosh, I was the youngest, I was a spoiled brat.

  410. I got everything I wanted, anything I wanted, whenever I wanted it, except a car, and you've heard that testimony already.

  411. So that's all you know.

  412. That's oil and water.

  413. They're mixing up there between Gladys and I.

  414. I mean it took a little bit of doing to get us mixed up together.

  415. It worked.

  416. That's 56 years.

  417. It worked, I guess, praise the Lord.

  418. So they were questioning their supply, saying how are we going to get clothes?

  419. How are we going to get food?

  420. How are we going to pay the rent?

  421. What's going to say?

  422. Anxious thoughts bring anxious words.

  423. You're going to interrupt your supply.

  424. What are you doing with those words?

  425. You've shifted your focus from the kingdom to mammon.

  426. You're really serving mammon with your questions.

  427. You'll get this this afternoon about three o'clock.

  428. It'll, it'll.

  429. The light will come on.

  430. I know that's not what you meant to do, but that's what you did.

  431. See, your angels can't tell any different.

  432. They just listen to you talk and you keep talking like, and you keep talking problem, and you keep talking need, need, need.

  433. Let me tell you something.

  434. They're just standing there with their wings folded.

  435. You haven't given them the word to go out and gather the supply that you have coming.

  436. And Malachi, again, you know, the prophet was speaking to the priesthood there, not even Israel.

  437. He was talking to the priests and he said your words have been stout against me, god said.

  438. And they said well, where with all is our word stout?

  439. What do you mean?

  440. You know?

  441. See, they were just clueless back then, 400 years before this, and they're even more clueless right here.

  442. They're more clueless than they were in Malachi.

  443. Are you with me now?

  444. Because God had quit talking to them and the first time he talked to him was John the Baptist.

  445. He said you, generation of vipers who warned you to flee of the wrath to come when they came out there to get baptized.

  446. I mean he was whipping them with a whip.

  447. I mean he didn't have anything kind to say to them at all.

  448. But Jesus.

  449. When Jesus came, he brought them the love of God.

  450. He brought them the truth of the covenant that they had, and they were amazed.

  451. They were astonished.

  452. They had no idea that God was really like that, and they began to see what they had been, what had been withheld from them.

  453. So he said well, how are our words stout against you?

  454. Tell us how that why?

  455. He said because you say that it doesn't profit to serve the Lord.

  456. I wish I was, you know, on Joe Biden's staff.

  457. I'd probably get some kickback from China.

  458. Probably get some.

  459. And what good does it do to do things right?

  460. I might as well just cheat on my taxes.

  461. I might as well, just I might as well just die.

  462. See, if you're not careful, you can envy the evildoer.

  463. You can envy those that seemingly are getting rich at all of our expense.

  464. They're taking our tax money and getting rich.

  465. Every one of these district attorneys they're all crooked, every one of them.

  466. That one in Georgia, there's one in Michigan.

  467. I mean, they're just getting caught left and right spending money without any kind of accountability.

  468. This country has got such rot in it.

  469. Well, if I spend all my day learning about all of that, I'm going to start speaking about that instead of the fact that, hey, glory to God, I got a kingdom supply.

  470. They can do whatever they want to do.

  471. As long as they can get away with it, that's just fine.

  472. God's watching it, god's keeping the books.

  473. As for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord, we're going to put him first.

  474. We're going to tithe, where we get offerings over and above the tithe.

  475. Amen.

  476. Is this helping anybody?

  477. So we have, then, this law of calling, the law of saying, or the law of calling Everybody say, the law of calling, the law of serving.

  478. See, you can't serve God and mammon, so serve God first.

  479. Put him first.

  480. The law of calling.

  481. Abraham called the thing that be.

  482. Not as though it were.

  483. He was just like God.

  484. He said my name is Abraham.

  485. He got named Abraham when he was 99.

  486. He would just like God.

  487. He said my name is Abraham.

  488. He got named Abraham when he was 99.

  489. He had lost the ability to father a child.

  490. He was married to a woman who couldn't mother a child.

  491. She couldn't conceive a child because her womb was barren, always had been, and now she's past the age.

  492. And he didn't lie.

  493. He just said I am the father of many nations, and this is my wife, princess.

  494. What did he do?

  495. Bible says in Romans 4, 16 and 17 that he called the thing that be, not as though it were.

  496. So what do we do in that case?

  497. Well, we start calling our supply.

  498. Do you want it?

  499. Then call it and that tells me that my supply has a name, that my supply has ears and that my supply will obey me and, in a way, see, it's the opposite of mammon.

  500. We've made a figure out of our godly supply.

  501. We've made it a person.

  502. It's like a person.

  503. It's at our beck and call.

  504. When we call our person, called supply, it comes running.

  505. Are y'all getting this?

  506. I've never preached this before.

  507. This is revelation knowledge.

  508. I'm telling you right now, this is prophetic revelation knowledge right now, this morning.

  509. I've never preached it this way, I've never heard it this way, I never saw it this way.

  510. Mammon is a person that's antichrist, controlled, and when we serve that thing, I'm telling you it interrupts our, our supply that has a name, has ears and will obey us.

  511. Ooh, glory to God.

  512. Oh, you can see right now and I've had to learn this the hard way I had a supply all along and I just didn't call it.

  513. I got too busy calling the trouble.

  514. I got too busy calling the lack.

  515. I was firmly entrenched at the corner and my house was the corner of Lack Lane, at the corner of just barely get along Boulevard.

  516. But I ain't never going to live there again.

  517. I'm never moving back to that place again.

  518. Glory to God, everybody say.

  519. My supply has a name, it's got ears and it will obey me.

  520. Well, pastor, I don't know how you get that all out of there.

  521. Well, how about Matthew 18, 18?

  522. Therefore, I say unto you whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in the heavenlies.

  523. The heavenlies is not where God is.

  524. It's the atmosphere where demon powers are able to interrupt your blessing.

  525. It's the causal realm.

  526. The seen has its origins from the unseen.

  527. If you're going to have a supply that shows up that actually you can spend, if you're going to have a supply that shows up that actually you can spend, it starts in the spirit realm, where you call it.

  528. You have to call it.

  529. It's in the spirit realm.

  530. All of your supply starts in the spirit realm.

  531. Now it's on earth.

  532. God doesn't manufacture.

  533. He doesn't rain money out of heaven.

  534. He doesn't manufacture the car that you need.

  535. He doesn't manufacture the car that you need.

  536. He doesn't manufacture the house that you need.

  537. It's down here.

  538. If you need a house, if you need a car, if you need money, whatever the need is, it's down here.

  539. But the possibility of it starts in the spirit realm or the causal realm and if you don't start there with it, you're not going to get it.

  540. You can try the mammon way.

  541. You can just work overtime all your life.

  542. You can just sweat and you can work and you can put.

  543. You know you work seven days a week.

  544. Every time there's a shift you double over and get time and a half.

  545. I know people I've got relatives that retired, you know real young, but they put the world first and God second.

  546. And I hate it for them because I know how it's going to end if they don't repent.

  547. No, I'm telling you, I'm going to put God first.

  548. Are y'all with me now?

  549. Yeah, so we can bind the devil off of our finances and we can lose our supply.

  550. Amen, amen.

  551. And so you know I like Philippians 4.19, how Brother Mark always says it.

  552. He says you know, my father takes care of me in grand style.

  553. He says you know, my father takes care of me in grand style.

  554. You know you can look up Philippians 419, a lot of different versions of the Bible.

  555. One of them says he supplies lavishly.

  556. You know I like all those.

  557. But I mean, grand style is the manner in which God takes care of you, it's not just barely get along.

  558. Oh, I'm so glad I've got some patches for my jeans.

  559. I can iron these patches on.

  560. Now I can wear these jeans again.

  561. I know y'all don't ever do that, but I grew up with patched jeans.

  562. My mother ironed on patches.

  563. I was embarrassed to wear those things, so I quit wearing jeans.

  564. I just wear khakis.

  565. She couldn't figure out how to patch the khakis.

  566. So I know you think I'm joking, but I never wore jeans when I was growing up.

  567. When I was four or five, I did.

  568. But when I started school we had khaki uniforms and after that I just had khakis.

  569. That's all I wore.

  570. All my friends in high school look at me like Griner.

  571. How come you never wear jeans?

  572. I don't even have any jeans.

  573. I wear slacks.

  574. I'd wear khakis.

  575. I'd wear anything but jeans.

  576. You know, I guess I had PTSD from those holy jeans.

  577. Don't look at your neighbor's knees.

  578. There might be some patches on her.

  579. All right, so God always takes care of me in grand style.

  580. Amen.

  581. So our financial supply is in the hands of men.

  582. All right, it's in the hands of men.

  583. Men somewhere have control of that, of that supply.

  584. I don't care what it is.

  585. If it's money, if it's goods, men have, have control of it.

  586. Well, I don't understand.

  587. That's mammon.

  588. Well, no, it's not.

  589. Mammon is up to you.

  590. If something is mammon, it's how you're treating it.

  591. If it's just a supply that you need, then you know it's got a name, it has ears and it will obey you.

  592. So you're not treating it like the world does.

  593. You're not.

  594. You're not trying to maneuver around and get something now.

  595. Now you've got a right for your need to be supplied according to God's riches and glory, by Christ Jesus.

  596. And by the way, that Philippians 419 was written to the Philippian church and it had some conditions.

  597. If you'll back up to earlier in that chapter Paul is congratulating the Philippians.

  598. He said no church, no church, but you opened a giving and a debit and credit account concerning giving and receiving, but you only that's the amplified, in other words, no church supported me, but you sent once and again to my necessities.

  599. And now he's receiving an offering for the poor saints in Jerusalem and he's telling them I appreciate that you're helping them.

  600. And he said and my God shall supply us.

  601. Because you've supplied their need and your abundance, my God is going to supply all your need according to his riches.

  602. Glory by Christ Jesus.

  603. So there is, there is a qualification he.

  604. You know you're not going to get a blessing like that in grand style If you're a stingy mingy and you're just not generous and you just don't, you do the very minimum and you don't honor God with your tithe.

  605. Or maybe you just tithe and that's all and you figure it out to the 10th.

  606. I'm going to give a tithe.

  607. It's 51 dollars and 17 cents.

  608. How about rounding up?

  609. Why does my staff have to work all that time putting decimal points in your giving?

  610. How about $52?

  611. How about round it up and make it $100?

  612. How about looking at it and say you know, that's not enough, I'm going to double it.

  613. I've been in services where I doubled what.

  614. Enough, I'm going to double it.

  615. I've been, I've been in services where I doubled what I thought I was going to give.

  616. I was in a service one time Gladys and I were in a service that happened to be Mark Hankins meeting several years ago.

  617. We were sitting there and I kind of had in my heart to give $3,000 and I was just going to give through credit card I usually don't use credit card, but I did that time and I had the offering envelope all filled out and $3,000.

  618. And I was going to give it Gladys, and I said $3,000.

  619. Okay, yeah, so she was fine, and his offering scripture was as much as you have opportunity I think it's Galatians as much as you have opportunity, give.

  620. And the Holy Ghost said well, you've got opportunity to do a whole lot more than $3,000.

  621. And I had just refinanced our house and I had tended to take the money out of the equity of our house and get because we're only paying like two and three quarter percent interest on our mortgage and I was able to make a minimum of seven, eight percent on an investment and that's a minimum and some.

  622. I had one investment since then and made 51 percent in two years.

  623. How would you like to make 51 percent on an investment?

  624. Well, you know, if you learn to follow the Holy Ghost, he'll make you rich.

  625. If you be willing and obedient, he will cause you to eat the good of the land.

  626. And so I thought, well, god, I just refinanced that mortgage.

  627. My heart started beating fast and my hand started trembling and I thought, wow, I could give $40,000.

  628. I could give $40,000.

  629. And I said, god, I can't do that right now because I've got to talk to Gladys.

  630. I want her in agreement before I do that, and if I just tell her in this meeting, I mean she might just go tilt.

  631. I'm going to wait and talk to her after the meeting.

  632. And so we did.

  633. We had a little, got our heads together and of course she was just right on with it.

  634. I mean, just right, just, she just got right in agreement.

  635. We're taking and refinancing our mortgage and putting it in an offering.

  636. Oh, I can't believe.

  637. He said that I didn't tell you to do it.

  638. I told you what I did, that's all.

  639. And after that I had a 51% return on another deal that I already had going.

  640. Are y'all with me now?

  641. I'm telling you, god will have you do unusual things.

  642. I said he'll have you do unusual things.

  643. So your financial supplies in the hands of men.

  644. But Jesus said give and it'll shall be given unto you.

  645. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over.

  646. Shall God give unto your bosom?

  647. No, shall men give unto your bosom.

  648. So there's something supernatural happens as a result of Philippians giving.

  649. So there's something supernatural happens as a result of Philippians giving, and that was that God would move on the hearts of unredeemed in some cases unsaved men and have them release their goods towards you.

  650. That's how I live.

  651. That's how really all of us live, if we only knew the truth.

  652. So it's not about us coveting anybody.

  653. I don't covet anybody's money.

  654. I don't covet anybody's wealth.

  655. I don't covet Joe Biden.

  656. I don't wish that I could do what he's doing.

  657. I'm glad I'm not doing what he's doing.

  658. He's a thief and he's a liar, and I don't want to be like him.

  659. I want to honor God with everything I have, not only my money, but my whole life, and I know that I have a supply over any need.

  660. If I can identify a need, how many of you can identify a need this morning?

  661. Have you got a need that you've been looking at for a little bit?

  662. Well, let's handle it right now.

  663. Let's handle it.

  664. Why don't you stand up?

  665. You've got a need.

  666. You've been looking at this need and I want to give you an illustration how I handle those kind of needs.

  667. A lot of times, you know, I just keep standing.

  668. For instance, taxes.

  669. 15th of April, just a couple of weeks ago, my CPA emailed me the night before, on the 14th Sunday night, and said pastor, I got to give you an extension.

  670. Uh, you need to send in $2,000.

  671. Can I?

  672. Can I just uh electronically, uh, out of your bank account is the same bank account that you used last time.

  673. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

  674. See, I didn't have to pray over that, I didn't have to call $2,000.

  675. And there were days, there've been times in my life, when I had to, I had to call that money in and I had to find out how much I owed.

  676. And I had to call it in and I didn't have it laying around.

  677. But I had that money in the bank and all I had to do was say, yeah, just wire it.

  678. And I just started praising God.

  679. I said God, I didn't even have to, I didn't have to do anything.

  680. I already had that need taken care of.

  681. Glory to God, it was so easy and I was glad it was only $2,000.

  682. When it's much more than that, they charge you interest and penalties because they figure, you're underpaying your taxes and they don't like it.

  683. And they got the power to charge you more than you owe just because you didn't pay it all at one time.

  684. But anyway, getting back to your need, a lot of you have a need.

  685. Everybody say I have a need.

  686. It's got a name, it has ears and it will obey me.

  687. Ministering spirits, I want you to listen to what I'm saying.

  688. This morning I'm fixing to speak to my need by name.

  689. It's got ears, it's going to obey me.

  690. And angels, I want you to go and cause it to come in, cause it to come into my possession.

  691. Cause it to come in, cause it to come into my possession.

  692. Now, need Now you call that need by its name.

  693. What is the need?

  694. Is it taxes?

  695. Is it a debt?

  696. Is it whatever it is?

  697. You don't have to say it out loud.

  698. Say it where you know it what it is.

  699. Say need you hear me?

  700. Now I call you in Angels.

  701. Cause it to come to me In Jesus' name.

  702. Whatever I loose on earth is already loosed in the causal realm.

  703. I believe I receive that need met in Jesus' name.

  704. Now let's shout for joy Hallelujah, glory to God, glory to God, glory to God.

  705. That's just basically how you can operate.

  706. You don't have to sweat, you don't have to ball and squall and stay up at night walking the floor and wondering, wondering, thinking, thinking, thinking.

  707. I tell you, god can handle it, god knows how to bring your needs into your possession, your, your supply, rather, rather to your need.

  708. Glory to God, hallelujah.

  709. Did you get anything out of this today?

  710. Now, next week?

  711. Amen, let's rejoice.

  712. Let's rejoice at what we've heard the world's economy in the person of mammon, versus your supply, which is godly, because you put God first, you personify your need, is like a person.

  713. It has a name, it has ears and it will obey you.

  714. You see the difference.
