-
And so let's lift up our Bibles and wave them around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad.
-
Say this together.
-
Say Heavenly Father, I rejoice and am glad.
-
I refuse to stay mad.
-
I'm absolutely not gonna be sad, because the joy of the Lord is my strength, and there's nothing like knowing what the Bible says.
-
The Bible is my truth and I cling to it every day.
-
In Jesus' name, amen, you can be seated.
-
Let's turn in our Bibles to Matthew, chapter six, and also Philippians, chapter four, and we'll read some verses here, in starting with verse 24.
-
Jesus is speaking and he says in 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.
-
You cannot serve God and mammon, mammon meaning wealth Can't serve God and mammon simultaneously.
-
Therefore, I say unto you take no thought when you look in the Greek it means to but don't be anxious.
-
Don't take anxious thought For your life, what you shall eat, what you shall drink, nor yet for your body.
-
What you shall put on, is not the life more than meat and the body more than raiment.
-
Behold the fowls of the air, for they so not.
-
Neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly father feedeth them.
-
Are you not much better than they?
-
Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit to your statue?
-
And why take you thought for raiment?
-
Consider the lilies of the field.
-
How they grow.
-
They toil not, neither do they spin.
-
And yet I say unto you that even Solomon and all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
-
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow's cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, o ye of little faith.
-
Therefore, take no thought, in other words no anxious thought saying what shall we eat, what shall we drink?
-
Wherever thou shalt we be, clothe, for after all, these things do the Gentiles seek, for your heavenly father knoweth that you have need of all these things, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
-
Take therefore no thought for the moral, for the moral shall take thought of the things of itself.
-
Sufficient unto the day is the evil there.
-
In other words, let tomorrow take care of itself, you'll take care of tomorrow.
-
Tomorrow, let's talk about today first, one day at a time, as the singer said.
-
And then Philippians 419, for my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches and glory, by Christ Jesus.
-
And so today I wanted to start a message series entitled Receiving your Kingdom Supply.
-
Receiving your Kingdom Supply.
-
And the reason I'm preaching this is that I want you to be supply conscious and not inflation conscious.
-
It's hard not to be inflation conscious when you go to the gas pump or when you go to the grocery store.
-
I'm not saying ignore it.
-
I'm not saying play like it's not there.
-
I'm saying let's be conscious of the supply that we have in the kingdom of God.
-
God knows that we have need of a money.
-
See, he doesn't say money there.
-
He's talking about food, shelter and clothing.
-
Well, guess what?
-
It takes money for all those things.
-
So really, he's really talking about money here.
-
And he said you know, he gives you two laws of the kingdom.
-
I'm gonna share these two laws with you today because if you'll employ these two laws, make sure that you're on the correct side of these laws, you'll be successful in the terrible economic situation this country finds itself in.
-
A lot of what this country is going through is partial judgment in times.
-
Some of it can't be, you can't escape it.
-
But you know what we can be blessed in the middle of it.
-
I want you to be encouraged.
-
Don't get fearful, don't start thinking, oh my goodness, no, I tell you we have a supplier.
-
But I say I've got a kingdom supply and so you've got to receive it.
-
You know, jesus said in Mark 11, 24, therefore, what thingssoever you desire, when you pray, believe you've received them and you shall have them.
-
And the word receive means take hold with the hand.
-
So you've got a hand of faith.
-
You've got to receive more now than you did this time last year in order to stay even Stephen right.
-
I mean, you know everything went up.
-
But if you're not believing and you're not receiving at a higher level, guess what you're gonna do?
-
You're gonna start charging it and maybe you've already started down that road of making up the difference on your credit card.
-
You know that's dangerous.
-
Why not believe?
-
You receive more.
-
You've got it coming.
-
I said you've got it coming, and if you don't, I'm gonna teach you how to get it coming.
-
Amen.
-
And so these two laws that Jesus spoke of here is the law of serving, or you could say the law of priority and the law of calling, but these are critical laws that you've got to get on the right side of.
-
If you don't get on the right side of these laws, you're kind of dead in the water.
-
I mean, listen to me, you know, god does not intend for his church to sink.
-
He intends for his church to shine.
-
He intends for his church to be a supplier for those that are ignorant and don't know the laws.
-
What law?
-
The laws of the kingdom, amen.
-
And so here we're at the sermon on the Mount, matthew, chapter five, six and seven, and Jesus starts talking to the Jews.
-
And they're spiritually dead people.
-
They have a covenant with God that they're ignorant of.
-
They had hundreds, maybe even thousand of years with no teaching priests.
-
And so then, you know, they just weren't instructed in their covenant.
-
And now the scribes are teaching them a bunch of men's traditions.
-
You know, just a bunch of religion, and they're just.
-
You know it's not their fault.
-
Jesus is talking to them about their heavenly father.
-
They didn't relate to God as a father, they related to God as a judge.
-
They related to God as a mean ready to knock them inside of the head.
-
That's why they've been acquainted with the judgment side of God, because they were.
-
All their leaders had backslid, and so Jesus is speaking to them.
-
Like what in the world is he talking about?
-
And you go to Matthew, chapter seven, just the next chapter over verse 28,.
-
They were all astonished at his doctrine or at his teaching, because he taught as one that had authority and not as a scribes.
-
And they knew what he was saying was true, but they just could hardly contain their wonder at it.
-
It was nothing like they'd ever heard.
-
And let me tell you something If the Jews had a kingdom supply, how much more do we have a kingdom supply?
-
The Bible says in Hebrews eight six we've got a better covenant, found upon better promises.
-
So he's not just talking to them, he's talking to us too, and we need to understand what Jesus is thinking about, how he's thinking about our supply.
-
Everybody say I've got a kingdom supply.
-
So he revealed God, the father's thoughts and ways.
-
He revealed kingdom principles that they could employ, and so this first one, the law of serving.
-
He says in verse 24, you can't serve God and wealth simultaneously.
-
You're either gonna hold one and love the other, or love one and despise the other.
-
You can't serve both of them at the same time.
-
He didn't say you couldn't have wealth.
-
He said you can't serve wealth.
-
There's a big difference between having and serving.
-
Serving means you're a slave.
-
Really, the word serve there means to be a voluntary slave.
-
You know, in the New Testament they talk about bond servants.
-
We're the Lord's bond servants.
-
I know we've been set free.
-
I know we're children of God.
-
I know we're sons and daughters of God, but yet we live our lives as serving God.
-
There's only one God, amen, amen.
-
So he said.
-
You know.
-
He talked to them about the law of serving.
-
You can't serve God in wealth.
-
You can make wealth serve.
-
You See, that's the proper relation that a Christian should have to wealth.
-
You should have lots of it and it ought to serve you.
-
Maybe that's right, see, forget all this stuff about you know?
-
Oh, it's holy to be poor.
-
It ain't holy to be poor, it's devilish.
-
That's right.
-
See, that's one thing that Jews did get in their DNA.
-
They finally figured out that God wanted them blessed.
-
And you know what?
-
Even if they are not people of the book or Jews people are not.
-
There are many millions of Jews that are not people of the book.
-
God is coming back After the church has gone off the earth.
-
God's gonna turn his attention to Israel and he's gonna be reunited with his brothers, just like Joseph.
-
Read the story of Joseph and his brothers.
-
That's the story of Jesus and the Jewish nation.
-
They're gonna hang their head in shame, they're gonna be crying, they're oh, I can't believe I treated you this way.
-
Well, you know it's okay.
-
So they're gonna have them and all Israel shall be saved.
-
They're not gonna be saved like us, but they're gonna be saved.
-
They're not gonna be in the church.
-
They won't be in the church.
-
Oh, it's such a privilege to be in the church.
-
Body of Christ, he's the head, we're the body.
-
They won't have that, but they will have their place and they have their covenant.
-
Are you with me now?
-
And so this law of serving of priority.
-
Jews just know instinctively that they should have wealth and it's hurt them Really.
-
The Gentiles are jealous of them many times because they seem like they just accumulate all the way.
-
If you'll go across, I mean in every discipline.
-
Take medicine, all the greatest doctors are Jewish doctors.
-
I can't excite, I don't understand that.
-
I mean it seems like all the scientists, most of the great scientists, are Jewish scientists.
-
I mean most of the billionaires are Jewish billionaires.
-
I'm not saying they're serving God and I'm not saying they're pleasing God, but I am saying it's part of their DNA, if you will.
-
Why didn't the church have that in its DNA?
-
I mean, I'll tell you, because they've been taught wrong.
-
They've been given a bunch of theories.
-
I tell this all the time.
-
But I grew up Catholic and all the people that I related to as spiritual the priests and the nuns had taken a vow of poverty.
-
Well, what do you think when the people you look up to that are supposed to represent God to you and teach you about the Lord and all this stuff and most of it was bunk they just teachin' what they got taught and it's just religion, dead religion most of it.
-
Some of it's good but most of it's bad, most of it's off.
-
But then you think somehow it's holy to be poor.
-
You know you gotta get rid of that idea.
-
God wants you to have wealth.
-
He doesn't want you to serve wealth.
-
Most rich people serve their wealth.
-
They work for that day and night.
-
It's on their mind.
-
It rules them.
-
If they're really honest, they give up their families for it.
-
I met a guy one time who's building houses and one of the reasons I decided not to pursue an engineering career was I found out what the fast track to management was.
-
I was told you know, you come to work for Shell, you come to work for Conoco, you come to work for Chevron, you come to work for whoever name them.
-
I had 40 job offers.
-
Not bragging, I'm just reporting.
-
I had 40 job offers all over the country, didn't know what to do, but they were all talking to me about the fast track to management.
-
Boy, you come to work for us, we'll get you in the fast track to management.
-
Well, I found out what the fast track to management was.
-
They move you all over the world, you change locations every year and they put you through the ringer and you're working for them 24, seven, not 40 hours a week 24, seven.
-
They own you.
-
And I thought, man, I don't think and I wouldn't even say that the time.
-
I know, as the Lord just helped me just make another decision.
-
I went into business with my brother building houses instead, totally unrelated to my degree, I think there's something like only 10% of people actually work in the field that they're educated for.
-
You know, we ask kids to make a decision when they're not able to even make a decision about their career.
-
But anyway, getting back to what we're talking about here, is that there is a law of serving or a law of priority.
-
You cannot serve God and serve your wealth at the same time.
-
But God knows you have these needs.
-
They're not insignificant needs.
-
They're not something he's telling you to do without.
-
He's got a supply for you so you don't have to have a bunch of anxious thoughts about it, because anxious thoughts will bring what Anxious words and words start messing your supply up.
-
We'll get into the law of calling in a minute.
-
It's all kind of connected.
-
These laws are connected just like the law of gravity, the law of lift.
-
I mean you know, when you get in the airplane you've got a law of gravity to keep you on the runway until you get to a certain speed and then they say rotate.
-
And then all of a sudden the law of lift takes over and lifts you up off the ground.
-
Unless ice formed on your wings, then you come back down real fast.
-
Sometimes it's disastrous Ice, doesn't you know?
-
Ice on the wings means you don't have any lift.
-
It means you can't airplane, can't fly.
-
So these laws work together.
-
These laws.
-
I mean you know you've got to have a work, acknowledge of the laws of the kingdom in order to navigate properly.
-
So God knows verse 32, he knows that you have the need of these things even before you ask for them, and you don't even really have to ask for them.
-
It's not a matter of begging for them.
-
You have a supply.
-
I said you have a supply.
-
In FERC, luke 1232 says it's Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
-
He's already given you the supply.
-
It's already there, it's already got, it's already there for you.
-
You don't have to beg God.
-
Oh God.
-
Just that alone will help you get ahead of the most Christians that just don't know any better.
-
They just beg God all the time for things that Jesus already supplied.
-
Amen.
-
We're about to receive communion, and what is communion?
-
It's we're celebrating the broken body and the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and this is the currency of our redemption.
-
This is the price he paid for us to have a supply.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Everybody say I've got a kingdom.
-
I say I've got a kingdom supply and I'm all about receiving it.
-
See, I mean, you're going to take your hand of faith and you're going to pull it to you See, take, take.
-
Ooh, that's got a negative connotation.
-
Oh, he's just a taker.
-
Well, I hope you're a taker, because it's going to waste if you don't take it and you're going to go into need when you don't have to, when you don't have to.
-
So putting God's first in His kingdom will bring kingdom supply into being.
-
See, he said look, go, look at the birds and the lilies.
-
Look at the birds, they don't work.
-
How much more will he feed you?
-
Look at the lilies.
-
I mean Solomon and all these splendor, not a raid like one of these.
-
They don't.
-
How much more?
-
He says how much more.
-
See, there's that idea of everlasting life.
-
Zoe, jesus said I came to give you life, and life more abundantly, and that Greek word means super abundant and quantity superior in quality.
-
That is the theme of the gospels.
-
God, having your financial supply locked up for you is the guts of the gospel.
-
Brother or Robert's told me, the gospel to the poor this is really what I'm preaching this morning is the gospel the good news to the poor.
-
Who are the poor?
-
Anybody that doesn't have enough money to meet the needs of the kingdom, because the kingdom has needs, especially right now.
-
I mean our missionaries need they have needs the gospel.
-
We've got to preach the gospel.
-
We've got to send people.
-
We've got to reach the unreached.
-
We've got to unreached people, groups that have never yet heard the name of Jesus.
-
We just got a couple of them, say, one of them God healed.
-
Over there in Asia we heard about last week People that never even heard the name of Jesus blind eyes, open Book of Acts, kind of stuff is happening.
-
They're having dreams about the man in white.
-
By the way, that's been going on for about the last 50 years.
-
Pastor Stocksdale was a contemporary brother.
-
Osteen did a lot of work in the Muslim nations 40, 50 years ago, wrote a book about the man in white.
-
He would come across these Muslims and start witnessing to them and they would say is that who I've been dreaming about?
-
The man in white is that the man?
-
And so you know, the man in white was Jesus, but he wouldn't declare himself Jesus.
-
He was waiting on a preacher to come, and he did that for years and years.
-
Pastor Stocksdale and his son built that big church in Baton Rouge, bethel, and so.
-
But Brother Stocksdale, the grand paul, brother Osteen's contemporary, they were both Southern Baptists at the same time, and Brother Osteen received the baptism of the Holy Ghost a few months later.
-
Pastor Stocksdale received it too.
-
They both got the left foot of the Well.
-
Actually, they didn't kick Brother Osteen out, he just left.
-
You know he wasn't voted out, but he decided to leave anyhow.
-
He didn't want to cause division in his church.
-
He was always glad to say I'm still an ordained Southern Baptist preacher, and Pastor Stocksdale was the same thing.
-
I mean, you talk about men.
-
These are pioneers.
-
And they went out among the people back then and I'm telling you, we've got to follow up.
-
We've got to follow up with that.
-
Are you with me now.
-
The kingdom has needs.
-
It's going to take money to meet the needs.
-
We need.
-
That.
-
This is good news.
-
This is good news to the poor Jesus.
-
And Brother Robert said that's.
-
He said, john, that's the guts of the gospel.
-
Never left me guts of the gospel.
-
What's the guts of anything?
-
Well, it's what, the inner workings.
-
Without that you don't have much.
-
Gotta have guts, amen.
-
And so what am I?
-
The tithing?
-
See, tithing puts God first.
-
If you're not, that's number one.
-
If you're going to serve God, you've got to do what the Bible says.
-
And the Bible says to tithe put God first in the tithe.
-
The tithe is not just a 10th, it's the 10th, it's the first 10th.
-
Amen, amen.
-
If it's not first, it's not a tithe.
-
If it's later, it's not a tithe.
-
See, that's just a little important.
-
Well, what difference am I giving?
-
I'm giving a 10th.
-
Well, see, you've got the whole.
-
You're not going according to the law that God put in.
-
You know you're not God.
-
Why don't you line up?
-
That'd be like the Pilate saying oh, it doesn't matter about the eyes, I can still fly.
-
We still got wings.
-
No problem, I still got jet engines on this thing.
-
Rotate.
-
By that time it's too late to abort the takeoff.
-
You're going to let wind up on I-45.
-
Are you with me now?
-
No, let's cooperate with the law.
-
Jesus God said tithe, put me first.
-
So being a tither puts God first.
-
It honors him.
-
And then, of course, love.
-
That's the only commandment we have Love, love one another's.
-
I've loved you.
-
You know if I'm gonna tell you right now if I was having trouble in my supply, check up on my giving and my tithing.
-
Make sure I'm tithing, make sure I'm putting God first, make sure I'm giving and make sure that I'm walking in love, which includes forgiveness.
-
We've talked all about that, but we have to keep talking about it because people, I mean, we have such division in this country, and this division is not just in the country, it's in families.
-
I mean, we're some of the biggest divisions we've got is right between parents and children, and that's by design.
-
If you listen, this is the anti-Christ spirit at work.
-
He's trying to destroy the family.
-
Are you with me now?
-
Let's not cooperate with him.
-
Amen, let's walk in love.
-
Hey, something you know, brother.
-
Those things used to have this saying you know, if I'm rubbing the cats further wrong way, let the cat turn around.
-
You might have to turn around so you're not irritated.
-
Amen, all right.
-
So the law of serving or priority, let's say God's my main priority.
-
I make my money work for me, see, I mean make it serve you.
-
I mean you just check up on what your outgo is and you might.
-
You know if you're still using state farm insurance.
-
I'm just picking on state farm.
-
It's the same could be said for farmers.
-
Guy, just name anybody on television that advertises for insurance.
-
And if you've had them for five years, you're paying too much already.
-
You are not paying attention and you need to get some bids on your insurance bill.
-
Because these people, what they do is they decide you know, we're through with the Houston market.
-
They've had too much damage down there.
-
They had Harvey and they had the freeze.
-
Let's just move out of Houston.
-
And anybody that still wants us in Houston, let's jack the rate up.
-
Well, you're the dummy that paid more money than you needed to when you didn't have it checked.
-
See, make your money work for you, rule it, rule your money.
-
Watch over what your outgo is.
-
Amen, all right.
-
Praise God, the second law we'll get into the law of calling.
-
In verse 31, it says therefore take no anxious thoughts saying what shall we eat, what shall we drink?
-
So the anxious thoughts got into anxious words and he called that.
-
Oh ye of little faith.
-
See, little faith worries about their supply.
-
I said little faith, worries about their supply.
-
Saying or calling they're talking to their supply and saying I don't see that you're coming, I don't see any evidence that you exist.
-
So what is your, what is your supply gonna do?
-
Is it gonna come running down the street?
-
Is it gonna come galloping up the driveway and say I'm here anyway, surprise, surprise.
-
No, the law of calling.
-
Jesus said it in Matthew 18, 18,.
-
He said therefore whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven.
-
Whatever you loose on earth is loose in heaven.
-
We've got the law of binding and loosing.
-
He said very, very likely, in your whosoever shall say or call into this mountain, be thou removed, be thou cast and see what do you do.
-
Into that mountain You're calling in to get out of the way.
-
The law of calling, the law of speaking words with your mouth and believing in your heart that what you say comes to pass, that's the law of calling and it has everything to do with your supply.
-
If you're not talking right, your supply is gonna stay right where it is in the hands of ungodly men.
-
Say men, have your supply, oh no, God has my.
-
No, God doesn't have any supply up there.
-
He doesn't have money, and if he did, it would be counterfeit, and he's not a counterfeiter.
-
Everything we need as far as supply is where it's down here and somebody's got it.
-
Either your boss has it or your customers have it.
-
Somebody's got it.
-
Well, what's gonna turn them loose?
-
Obeying the laws of the kingdom and the law of calling is so important because you, you know.
-
The thing you've gotta understand is that your supply number one it has a name.
-
Number two, it has ears.
-
And number three, it will obey you, In the positive or in the negative.
-
In other words, you start speaking against it.
-
It stays right where it is, in the hands of ungodly men, and they're not gonna give it to you, Pastor, that just sounds crazy.
-
Well, all right, let's look at Malachi.
-
You don't believe me, believe Malachi.
-
He was the last prophet that Israel had, and after Malachi died, there was no prophet for 400 years, until John the Baptist showed up and he started talking like this, you, generation of vipers.
-
So something hadn't changed much in 400 years.
-
They hadn't exactly repented yet, and God got tired of talking to him because they wouldn't listen to his prophets.
-
They'd killed them, they persecuted them, they didn't honor them.
-
Are you with me now?
-
Yes, and so when he was there to make the way straight for Jesus to come and I mean he had to talk really tough, you, generation of fibers, who didn't warn you of the judgment to come, and he baptized people.
-
For you know, if you really repent and get in this river and let me baptize you you need a whole new life.
-
You need to change your whole life right now.
-
He was getting them ready for here in Jesus.
-
But it says here in Malachi, chapter three, and here's the last prophet Now think about the prophet.
-
And there's no evidence that they ever repented from this prophet, right here, all the way till when Jesus showed up and started talking on the sermon on the mount, no evidence that anything had changed on the giving side or the money side.
-
He said will a man verse eight, will a man rob God?
-
Yet you've robbed me.
-
But you say where?
-
Where did we rob then?
-
And he said in tithes and offerings, Tithes and offerings.
-
I mean, let's not be chintchy with God, he's not chintchy with you.
-
You have a supply Act.
-
Like you have a supply, Quit rounding down on your tithe.
-
I'm gonna write the tithe.
-
Now, honey, A tithe for this week is $101.32.
-
Or really it's 32.4 cents.
-
So we'll round down $101.32.
-
Let me get a grip.
-
Are you gonna make us account for pennies, Pastor?
-
That's no, I'm talking about your attitude.
-
Do you want him to do the same thing?
-
You want him to wet the tip of his pencil and say man, let me just see how much I can give him.
-
Just get by.
-
Let's see, their rent is about $532.
-
Ah, I give him $500.
-
That'll be enough.
-
Well, is it enough?
-
No, it's not enough, is it?
-
He rounded down, Listen, I mean let's be generous with God, let's not be so picky about our tithe.
-
Let's give him, make sure the tithe comes to him and let's make sure we give offering.
-
You've robbed me in tithes and offerings.
-
He says well, God, why does God need our offering?
-
He doesn't need it.
-
You need it.
-
You robbed him of the blessing.
-
It is to him, as a father, to see you do well.
-
Isn't it the greatest thing to see your children do well?
-
Yes, I mean, don't you just love it when they succeed?
-
Yes, Well, we just honored the graduates and I know that we just a wonderful, proud moment for the parents to see their kids having these milestones in their life of achievement.
-
The liberals want to take all that away and get rid of valedictorian.
-
They want to get rid of grades.
-
They want to get rid of anything that measures achievement.
-
I wonder why?
-
Because they want everybody the same and they want everybody poor and dependent on government.
-
That's what they want, All right.
-
So he said you've robbed me.
-
But you say, where in have we robbed me?
-
In tithes and offerings.
-
You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed me, even this whole nation.
-
Talk about Israel now.
-
And he's talking to the priests.
-
So he started with the priests, the leaders, and they had the tithe of the tithe.
-
They're supposed to tithe the tithe and they weren't, so as if the priests aren't tithing.
-
You can be sure they're not teaching the people to tithe because they're not tithing, so the tithe is not being done, so they're cursed.
-
Well, but Jesus redeemed me from the curse.
-
I know he redeemed you from the curse, which is why it's such a tragedy for people not to tithe and enter into a curse that doesn't belong to them.
-
This is not the law.
-
This is just how the kingdom works.
-
It doesn't have anything to do with the Jewish law.
-
Tithing precedes that.
-
It goes back to Adam.
-
It goes back all the way back.
-
Cain and Abel is a story of tithing versus giving Tithing.
-
Well, I gave an offering.
-
That was Cain.
-
I just gave anything I decided to give, I just gave an offering.
-
Versus Abel, who took the lamb of the flock, the first link of the flock, and brought the tithe.
-
Are you with me now?
-
All right, so he said he keeps saying.
-
He says.
-
He said bring all the tithes into the storehouse there may be meat in my house and prove me, test me, put me to the test now, here with here with what?
-
Here with the tithe and offerings.
-
God invites you to test this out and I've tested it out.
-
It sounded so fantastically crazy when I first started reading about tithing after I got saved.
-
I mean first I was going to get offended and then I kept reading.
-
And I kept reading.
-
I said this is the Bible.
-
I can't be offended, I've got to do this.
-
He said try it.
-
I'm going to try it.
-
I tried it and it worked.
-
The year before I got saved, we had lived off savings.
-
I hadn't made a dime in my business.
-
I had zero income.
-
I had lived off savings and the savings were just about gone.
-
And all of a sudden, I mean houses started selling, I started making profit and by the second year, I mean I had the best year I'd ever made in my life.
-
I mean God just blessed me, I proved Him and we were given we were writing checks the idea of me sitting down and writing a $10,000 check to the church.
-
Are you kidding me?
-
I mean it was amazing.
-
I put Him to the test and it worked.
-
Are you with me now?
-
Yes, All right.
-
So he said I'll rebuke the devour, I'll rebuke inflation, for your sakes.
-
That's what's going on.
-
Inflation is eating your wealth, it's eating the wealth of this nation.
-
It's eating everybody's wealth.
-
Eating, eating, eating 24-7.
-
All by design, Not an accident.
-
Oh, I'm sorry, we made the run.
-
No, they made exactly the decision they decided to make.
-
They want to run this country into the ground so they can take over.
-
I don't know what they'll have left to take over, but anyway, you know what.
-
We're in a different kingdom.
-
We have a supply.
-
You know I don't want to see them do that, but you know, if that's what they decide to do, I'm still going to have my need met Because I have a supply.
-
I have a kingdom supply.
-
I'm not worried about it, I'm not fretting about it.
-
I hate to watch it.
-
I don't like to see the suffering around me.
-
But you know what, On personal basis, I'm doing fine.
-
Are y'all with me now?
-
A lot of calling.
-
You've got to call.
-
You got to speak right.
-
He said I'll rebuke the devourer, for your sake, the eater.
-
The word devourer means eater.
-
He's eating and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, Neither shall your vine cast her fruit before it's time.
-
In the field, sayeth the Lord of hosts, and all nations, all the Gentiles, everybody that's in unsafe, shall call you blessed.
-
You'll have favor, For you shall be a delightsome land.
-
Saith the Lord of hosts.
-
Look at verse 13.
-
Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord.
-
And yet you say whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.
-
Get into the word.
-
I like to get into the word.
-
Where does it say that?
-
Well, I don't know, I just like the way it.
-
What?
-
Me ma.
-
Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord.
-
Yet you say what have we spoken against you so much?
-
Against you, he said, because you have said it is vain to serve God.
-
And what profit is it that we have kept his ordnance and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
-
And you call the proud, happy Yay, that work, wickedness are set up, yay, that tempt God or even delivered.
-
So you're talking about how all the wealthy people are just getting richer and richer and you're the poor victim.
-
That's what you have in the church.
-
Victimhood, this whole victimhood this is the whole cornerstone of the Democrat Party.
-
This is the whole cornerstone of the Democrat Party is victimhood.
-
Just cut up the whole country into little, tiny pieces and get them warring with one another, get them jealous and envious of one another and get them arguing with one another and they take over and that's leaked into the church.
-
Your words have been stout against me.
-
I'm telling you your words can stop your supply in its tracks.
-
It's on its way to you and you just say things that keep it right where it's at.
-
The other thing that happens is when you quit speaking the word about your supply, your ministering spirits, angels, are they not all ministering spirits?
-
Sent forth the minister on behalf of those who are heirs of salvation.
-
Hebrews 114.
-
So your angels go to work and they make it attractive for evil men to let loose of your supply and your old cigar chewing, profane, cussing boss that said there's not gonna be any raises this year, not gonna be any bonuses this year.
-
While he's smoking his cigar and he's got his feet up on the desk and having his Lexus washed out in the parking garage, you know, all of a sudden he's got a different idea about you.
-
He says you know, I mean angels have influence over men.
-
Are you with me?
-
Now?
-
We've got these ministry spirits.
-
I mean, the minute you quit speaking the word, they just fold their wings and say well, I guess there's nothing for us to do.
-
We'll just kind of, maybe we ought to go to Pastor Griner.
-
He's always talking about something.
-
We better go, stand over there by him and see what he's gonna say.
-
If you don't want your angels, send them to me, I'll put them to work.
-
Are y'all getting this now?
-
So we have this binding and loosening.
-
We have power over mountains and to get a mood, we have authority to call our supply and get it where we need it and when we need it.
-
I mean, abraham called the thing.
-
That being honest, though, we're Romans 4, 16.
-
I mean, god renamed him from Abram to Abraham.
-
Abraham means Father of God.
-
He named him from Abram to Abraham.
-
Abraham means Father of many nations.
-
When he was 99.
-
He was passed the ability to father a child.
-
He had no ability to father a child, no strength to father a child, and besides that, even if he did have, his wife has been bearing all her life.
-
She has no ability to have a baby.
-
And God said your name is Abraham, her name is Sarah.
-
And what did he do?
-
He went around calling himself Big Daddy and this is little mama, and I mean you know.
-
And three months later they conceived a child.
-
I mean, things changed because what he got his mouth moving in the right direction?
-
The law of calling, calling things that be not as a you may not have any evidence that there's any supply.
-
But God said you had one, god said he cared about it, god said he had it.
-
So then you start calling Well, thank God.
-
God, I know.
-
I mean I just looked at my budget and now I'm spending, you know, $500 a month more on gasoline than I was last year.
-
I thank God for that extra $500 coming in Jesus' name.
-
Ha ha ha.
-
And if it gets to be $1,000 more, ha ha ha, I'm gonna have that too.
-
I mean, you gotta talk, you gotta and it's gotta be based on your, you've gotta believe it.
-
See, I mean, it doesn't do any good to talk, but pastor said to no, you've gotta get a revelation of what your supply is and start speaking it.
-
And you need to do it right now, yesterday, because every day that goes by with these nut jobs in charge, let's get ahead of it.
-
Or is this helping anybody today?
-
My God shall supply all your needs, all means, all.
-
I read where houses have gone into the stratosphere.
-
Well, that can work to your advantage, it could.
-
Rents have gone way up, and you know these are things that are going on.
-
I mean, if you're a renter and you know you might be tempted to be a fearful about the next time you have to renew your lease, well, don't be afraid.
-
Just start calling it.
-
Don't wait till the last second.
-
This is the other thing I see people doing.
-
They put things off.
-
They put things off.
-
They see this need on the horizon and all they do is worry about it.
-
They sweat bullets, they think about it, it's heavy on them, and then they change this up.
-
I don't want to think about that.
-
Well, you know, that's not the right attitude.
-
That's unbelief.
-
And you're not ruling your wealth, you have to rule it.
-
You're in charge.
-
Are you with me now?
-
My God shall supply all your need and then it tells you, in the manner in which he does it, according to his riches and glory, by Christ Jesus.
-
In other words, he supplies all, all means, all your need.
-
And I, you know he's not talking about heaven's riches, he's talking about in grand style.
-
He's talking about it's glorious when God does something for you.
-
It's glorious.
-
The anointing is dripping off of it.
-
You know that.
-
God came for you.
-
God came for you.
-
How many years do we have this property up for sale?
-
I mean year after year.
-
It seemed like every year there was another hindrance where we couldn't sell it because of this easement or that easement, this.
-
You know we had a lawsuit wanting to, you know, condemn part of the property and own part of our, and they got it.
-
You know, we got paid for it, but we didn't get the benefit of it.
-
We just we paid the loan down a little bit and all that, but we didn't.
-
You know, I just think about, and at the end, I mean, when we sold that property, we sold it at the absolute perfect time.
-
And look at them, they've already just about sold that thing out.
-
Section one is almost sold out.
-
A month ago you couldn't even drive down the street and now it's just all.
-
Just homeowners are watering their grass.
-
They're all out there.
-
When are y'all gonna invite them to church?
-
Anyway, boy, he came through in grand style.
-
I mean, we paid this loan off, paid this mortgage off, we're debt free.
-
Glory to God.
-
See, my God shall supply all.
-
See, it didn't happen overnight, but he sustained us Year in and year out.
-
We just kept on doing what we were doing Year in and year out.
-
We kept putting him first, we kept giving him missions, we kept doing everything that we're supposed to do.
-
And you know he's faithful.
-
I said he's faithful.
-
Luke 60, 38 says this.
-
It says give.
-
Jesus said give and it shall be given unto you See, just one word give.
-
That's all he said Give, give.
-
And then all the rest of it is what happens when you do it.
-
It starts a chain of events that is nothing short of amazing Give, and it shall be given unto you Good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over.
-
You know, god doesn't?
-
He just not checked you.
-
He doesn't mind a little laying on the floor.
-
I mean, some of it fell on the floor, some of it fell on the carpet you have so much, I don't mind, I'm fine to have an overflow and cup.
-
I've got an overflowing cup.
-
God.
-
God doesn't want you, just barely.
-
And oh, just, let's just have just just one piece of chicken, children.
-
We're going to have dinner tonight and we're going to have fried chicken, and we've got one piece of chicken for each one of you and we don't have any mashed potatoes.
-
So sorry, maybe next time God will provide, but this time he didn't really want us to have potatoes.
-
No glory to God.
-
He wants you to have everything.
-
He wants you to have the whole spread.
-
He wants to have an overflow and cup.
-
Everybody say my cup running over, good measure, press down, shake it together.
-
Running over.
-
Shall God give unto your bosom Men?
-
Give unto your bosom the people that got your wealth, the people that have got your supply.
-
They have it in their grubby little hands.
-
Some of them, I mean they're not all Christians, let's face it.
-
I mean, we weren't all Christians, we were all Christians.
-
We were all Christians.
-
We were all Christians, we were all Christians, we were all Christians.
-
I mean, we work in the real world.
-
There's people that got a hold of your wealth and when you give, all of that starts happening.
-
You can't reason it out.
-
You can't figure it out.
-
Listen, you just need to employ the laws of serving and calling Glory to God.
-
So you know, I just have an example for you and I learned from Brother Osteen, brother Hagen, you know about money and how to get your need met and quit begging God for it and quit all of that stuff.
-
That's not the way to get your money.
-
You got money coming and so let's just say you've got over the IRS 5,000.
-
Well, first of all, if you owe the IRS 5,000, that means that they're mad Because let's just say it was April 15th and April 15th that 5,000 is due and you've got to pay that $5,000 on April 15th that's tax day.
-
That means that from December the 31st to April 15th three and a half months you have their money.
-
I know most of you would rather them pay you 5,000 and get a refund, but that means they have your money.
-
I'd rather have their money Adder than do without until I'm ready to pay them.
-
That's just me.
-
That's just me.
-
I mean, I did, but I'm just an example.
-
5,000.
-
You owe them 5,000 dollars, bought them money for most people and you've got a deadline.
-
I wouldn't wait till April 14th.
-
I wouldn't wait till the day of Now.
-
You know.
-
As soon as you know what you owe, you need to get behind it and start employing the laws of serving, putting God first in your money, tithing and giving and calling the law of calling Father.
-
I know, you know I have a need for $5,000 to pay my taxes by 415.
-
Now, according to Philippians 419, you have already supplied that 5,000.
-
So, in Jesus' name, I lose that money to come to me and I thank you for it in Jesus' name.
-
Amen, no sweat, no begging, no crying, you just say that and then every time you think about oh, father, thank you that $5,000 on this way It'll be here in time for me to pay that tax April 15th.
-
God, you cared about your taxes enough that you sent Peter fishing and he got the gold coin of the fish's mouth.
-
I know you've already got this money coming.
-
I don't care where it's coming from, I just know it's coming.
-
Hallelujah, thank you, lord.
-
Praise God.
-
You don't touch it with your brain, you don't try to figure it out, you don't try to say well, I don't know if I'm gonna pf, pf, pf, pf.
-
You just know men are gonna give to your bosom somehow, some way.
-
Amen, amen.
-
Oh, it's exciting to live by faith.
-
It's exciting to know that you have a kingdom supply and how to receive, how to take it by the hand, how to take it with your hand of faith and get it.
-
Pull it to your bosom.
-
Amen, hallelujah, receiving your kingdom supply.
-
Come on, lift your hands right now.
-
Praise God, you get anything out of this at some morning.
-
Amen.
-
Well, be encouraged.
-
Let's not be inflation minded, let's be supply minded.
-
Amen.
