  8. hunger, nobody gave him anything better read this again.

  9. Last line says then when he came to himself, keep this here, I'm

  10. a today all day. Today we're going to talk about

  11. losing well. how to bounce back because truth of the matter is,

  12. you're not going to be that great a winner if you not a good

  13. loser, You gotta win with a you have to lose with a winning

  14. attitude and some people are poor sports in life.

  15. We give up. We point the finger, we

  16. sabotage, we make excuses. We blame all of that is horrible

  17. losing right and no team wins unless every individual

  18. evaluates themselves. As an individual.

  19. Right, I want to read this again very carefully. and he would

  20. gladly have fed on and filled his belly with the carob pods

  21. that the Hogs were eating pause, he would have gladly continue to

  22. live on excuses. He would have gladly continue to

  23. live on pointing the finger, he would have gladly lived in a

  24. comfortable place in his life avoiding competition and

  25. challenge. He would have gladly fed on the

  26. stories of his childhood and how his mom wasn't there.

  27. His dad wasn't there. And how Uncle did this?

  28. And unti did that he would have gladly fed On the troubles, the

  29. trials, the sickness of this world, the the tragedies the

  30. challenges he would have gladly and some of us gladly make

  31. excuses, gladly point the finger gladly, blame our momentum on

  32. someone else's slowness. Blame, our success on someone

  33. else's evil. Blame our forward progress and

  34. why we can't fulfill mission on a lack of open building.

  35. We would gladly we probably would have gladly prefer to

  36. March, then the come in the building it makes soldiers to

  37. win. Souls. for some people, the

  38. pandemic was supportive. To the carob pods that we eat on

  39. now. I don't, I can't go nowhere so I

  40. ain't got to get up. All right, gym clothes.

  41. Right? Can't go around.

  42. Nobody, so for some people, The pandemic, woke the champion up.

  43. And then for some people, the pandemic help you stay in a

  44. deeper sleep. Some people the pandemic became

  45. a moment for you to reorganize and re-examine and reimagine and

  46. take a good look at your life and you came out on the other

  47. side with a momentum to be transformed by the renewing of

  48. your mind. Right?

  49. Transformation can happen in the opposite.

  50. Way to you can transform into the worst version of yourself.

  51. You can you can you Procrastinate, even more, right?

  52. But sometimes challenges and what seems to be unfruitful

  53. Seasons or Baron Seasons. They oftentimes are a platform

  54. for Champions to rise. So he said in the darkest hour,

  55. Isaiah 60, arise and shine for the glory of the Lord is upon

  56. you for gross. Darkness will cover the Earth.

  57. He said, you gon Shine Your brightest when it it's the

  58. worse. so, for a champion, the pandemic presents an opportunity

  59. Darkness presents an opportunity, the game, any type

  60. of of Darkness, or, or challenge, or trial, or tragedy

  61. wakes up greatness, For some people, it was the perfect time

  62. to start a business. Not shut it down.

  63. It was the perfect time to reimagine your business.

  64. Re-strategize your business is the perfect time to work on your

  65. marriage. You had to be home cutie.

  66. Okay, baby? You've been what?

  67. You've been wanting some quality time.

  68. You got me? Can't go nowhere.

  69. But the losing mentality says, dang look at what I got a face.

  70. I got to deal with this every day.

  71. Now, I can't run and go to work. I can't run and go to school.

  72. I can't run, I can't go. I can't go see my side chick.

  73. Right. Can't I if for my watch porn on

  74. my got to watch it at home. Can't sit, can't, you know, I

  75. mean, can't can't sit in Walmart parking lot.

  76. All this stuff happens, even worse.

  77. All right. but for me, we going to go through so many

  78. opportunities to arise and shine.

  79. Says, but they could not satisfy his hunger.

  80. Tell me has excuse making ever satisfied.

  81. You Has complaining ever satisfied, you talking about

  82. what it used to be like has his satisfied.

  83. You Right. Comparing yourself to others.

  84. Asking God. Why me has it ever satisfied you

  85. When something happens in your life, there is never a good

  86. answer from God. Why?

  87. Because you'll never understand it until you get there.

  88. You actually will never fully understand the full purpose of

  89. why until you go. And then you can look back.

  90. You got to mature and grow to understand why what happened

  91. happened. So as long as you delay growth,

  92. you'll never understand past because understand God's hand,

  93. in tragedy. You have to mature and develop

  94. the mind of Christ, so you don't get offended with God.

  95. But understanding is not a qualification for progress.

  96. Okay. However, you have pacified

  97. yourself in whatever you have fed yourself in order to cope

  98. with lies and loss. Today, we walk away today, we

  99. walk away, we walk away. He said he came to himself, and

  100. he went back home. He went back to the Palace.

  101. He went back to Victory. He went back to sonship, he Got

  102. off the slave ship. And he went back to sonship.

  103. Your cloak of Courage has arrived.

  104. Am I talking to anybody? Look at your neighbor and say,

  105. put it on. If you want to, I'm going to put

  106. mine on your cloak of Courage has arrived.

  107. Your cloak of Courage has arrived.

  108. It's not a feeling, it's a choice.

  109. Courage is a choice, not a Feeling.

  110. I choose courage today, I'm going to put it on.

  111. Are we lose his vital to a legacy of winning?

  112. Learn to fail. Well.

  113. Don't fare. Well, fail.

  114. Well, how we lose is vital to a legacy of winning.

  115. It's not vital to winning, it's vital to a legacy of winning.

  116. I'm talking about winning in such a way, you don't have to be

  117. on earth for your bloodline to win.

  118. I'm talking about you pass on winning, you can pass on a fat

  119. bank account but you can't pass on winning unless Living

  120. example, long enough for your kids to pick up how to deal with

  121. adversity. How we lose his vital to a

  122. legacy of winning. That's one will repeat all day.

  123. Loss is not failure. Quitting is Lost is never

  124. failure. You can have a losing season and

  125. grow and learn, and come back and win a championship next

  126. year. If winning a championship next

  127. year, is what I do. After a losing year than that,

  128. losing year was well worth it. Loss is not failure.

  129. Quitting is, you see you? See you see the Warriors?

  130. They go an entire year, losing record.

  131. They go from chant. They go from the top to the

  132. bottom quick, but they go from the bottom to the top even

  133. quicker. Took them five six years, seven

  134. years, to hit the bottom, but it took him one year to get right

  135. back up top. Because it doesn't matter if you

  136. fall as long as your soil is Championship.

  137. If you're found a, you gotta build Championship.

  138. If you have a championship Legacy, if you have a

  139. championship organization, if you have a championship mindset,

  140. you can lose one year, but you not going to stay there.

  141. And many of us stay there because we haven't built for

  142. Championship Love quest will forever be around because of the

  143. time that we have and are taking for a firm foundation and

  144. sometime when you're building a firm foundation, you got to go

  145. through persecution, offense loss, losing people.

  146. You love you care for you pour it into, but you can't care

  147. about the loss. And some people get it twisted,

  148. I'm not telling you don't care about the people, but don't care

  149. about the loss. I'm called to love people more

  150. than loving winning. So, I might lose a relationship.

  151. But I can't lose the bigger picture of what the loss of

  152. relationship has done for my life.

  153. It's in Lost relationships, that are learn what I could have.

  154. Did better, and how many people know if you would have, did what

  155. you knew now to do better is still didn't guarantee they

  156. would stay. But how much loss has God?

  157. Permitted only so he can build you for winning.

  158. Genesis 50 says. So shall you say to Joseph This

  159. is Joseph Dad speaking to him Jake Ali.

  160. He's speaking to him and joke. Joseph was his.

  161. It was his dad's favorite papa gave him a robe.

  162. His brothers was jealous of him. They was half Brothers.

  163. They didn't like the love Daddy had for this one.

  164. Daddy gave me a robe. Daddy gave him a cloak of

  165. Victory. He gave him a cloak of favor, he

  166. gave him something. He puts something on his life

  167. that identified as favor and the glory that was on him.

  168. He glorified him. And how many people know that

  169. was on? You is not going on, always

  170. attract people liking you, So, can you can't be

  171. people-pleasing, but you also can't be afraid to wear victory.

  172. So so so then Joseph has a dream He tells his brothers and they

  173. like, who you think you are? Who you think you are, either?

  174. You think we going to serve you? He didn't really say that he

  175. just told him about a dream. Then he came back, should have

  176. learned the first time, shared another dream.

  177. You ever tell that person that don't get excited.

  178. Like you really want to get excited about your new idea,

  179. your vision your plans, but you keep sharing stuff with them,

  180. let me tell you dreams aren't shit to be shared with

  181. everybody. Especially be careful sharing it

  182. with people who you really care about their opinion.

  183. Family can crush a dream in a minute.

  184. Let me help. Some people on the flipside of

  185. that, you can be supportive and still not disagree.

  186. You can be supportive and still not agree.

  187. Right? Because what you want to find

  188. yourself is on the, you don't want somebody, you don't want

  189. your children to live a life, trying to prove you wrong.

  190. That's what that's not what you want.

  191. But you also don't want your children, trying to trying to

  192. live out your dream that you have for you.

  193. You want to support in a way that holds accountability but

  194. also give them the freedom and the strength and courage to

  195. figure out what they're worth are uniquely called to do school

  196. education. May not look the same.

  197. What are you giving them the freedom to figure things out?

  198. All right. Because God knows Jesus, did.

  199. He said? I'm just going to save you an

  200. advance. You gonna do what you want to do

  201. whenever you ready. I'm here.

  202. That's love, he guided us. He gave us his word.

  203. We made silly choices. We woke up the next day.

  204. New Grace. No.

  205. Mercy every day, right? He didn't say, why was you doing

  206. that last night? Why you didn't go there?

  207. What you, what? You go to that school, why you

  208. dropped them classes like cool and some stuff we think.

  209. God's disappointed. We don't want to waste trip.

  210. Children to feel disappointment from God.

  211. And I don't know who you are children, but it's a difference

  212. between God being disappointed with you and your parents being

  213. disappointed with you. Says Joseph.

  214. Dad says forgive take. He's talking to Joseph, he sends

  215. a letter forgive take up and away, all resentment and all

  216. claim to requital concerning because his brothers left him

  217. for dead. I pray you now the trespass of

  218. your brothers and their sin for they did Evil to you.

  219. Now we pray you and they did a number on Joseph.

  220. They went told his daddy boy. Got eight up.

  221. They did a number. They not only hold her.

  222. Joseph they hurt. They her pops.

  223. Can you imagine a pops thinking? He lost his son, then come to

  224. find out later. He's alive.

  225. That your own son sold them. Family.

  226. This is why I chose this scripture because everybody can

  227. relate to family drama. Everybody's greatest hurts have

  228. come from family. Why?

  229. Because they mean something to you?

  230. Some woman on the street. Look at me and say you ugly.

  231. I don't know how I feel about that but I do whatever, I do

  232. probably call her ugly back or some I found something.

  233. In love, amen. But man, wife he come and tell

  234. me I'm ugly. It's a little different.

  235. I can't even say you ugly back. I just gotta take that one, but

  236. it's different Malia coming to room so I don't like that.

  237. Hit. Therefore why?

  238. Because their opinion matters, All right, but what I've learned

  239. is you have to not allow people's opinion that you care

  240. about matter. More than God's words over you.

  241. Others instructions can't be higher than God's instructions.

  242. Now we pray, you forgive trespass, the trespass and

  243. Joseph wept when they spoke thus to him.

  244. And if you know the story of Joseph, he was in the pit.

  245. He was in Potiphar's house. He end up getting thrown him.

  246. Is in the brother was on a journey but this is what he had

  247. a dream from God. And this will people understand

  248. is yes, there's all this promising.

  249. Yes, we celebrate and God's going to do big things in our

  250. lives. But along with that comes some

  251. obstacles from trials. Some Temptations.

  252. And so, we have to make sure we don't allow obstacles to cancel,

  253. progress and promise. God's promise we'll always

  254. Outlast and outrun any trouble. He goes, said, Joseph replied

  255. don't be afraid. Do I act for God?

  256. Don't you see? You planned evil against me.

  257. We talk about learning how to lose.

  258. Look at how he took the offense. Look at how he took.

  259. Being left for dead by family being left for dead.

  260. Then being sold by family. And then years later they come

  261. back and he said, don't worry about it.

  262. What you planned against me for evil God used those same plans?

  263. See I wish it was a little later and use walking have more coffee

  264. because you would understand this a little bit better, that

  265. whatever bad that was planned against you.

  266. God didn't use different plans. The very Plans.

  267. You're trying to avoid the hurt that.

  268. You're trying to let go and ignore God said, no, no, that

  269. same pain. I'm going use for game that same

  270. plan for evil and destruction. I am going to use for good.

  271. As you see all around you right now life for many people.

  272. What y'all did to me, set me up to bless a nation.

  273. Oh my God. I think some of y'all just came

  274. for me to read the Bible like we in Catholic church or some you

  275. just want me to read the scripture and go.

  276. No, no, this about this. Bible is alive and is relevant

  277. today. So, whatever you're going

  278. through and whatever you're about to go through for the rest

  279. of your life. You have to understand that God

  280. is taking the same plan that was meant to destroy you.

  281. He's going to use that to develop you.

  282. That's why you have to embrace it because God is using all the

  283. ingredients, count it all joy. I need all of that.

  284. Oh, I need the hatin. I need the confirmation

  285. affirmation, I need them. People walking out on you.

  286. I need the broken heart. I need the cheerful spirit.

  287. I need the poverty. I need the bankrupt, by need the

  288. wealth. I need, I need the lack of

  289. education on needs. A little bit of Education.

  290. I need the person that didn't go to school.

  291. I need the one that Go to school.

  292. I need the crackhead. I need the single parent

  293. household. I need all of that.

  294. I need Wally. I need needles.

  295. I need all. I'm using needles in your story.

  296. I'm using heroin in your story, I'm using cocaine.

  297. I'm using divorce. I need all of that.

  298. Not about to be offended with the one that's about to turn it

  299. around for me. He's the only one that can use

  300. it all to turn it around for me and he say, easy.

  301. Now, you have nothing to fear, I'll take care of you and your

  302. children. He said, dad, you're my little

  303. half-brothers that tried to kill me.

  304. I'm going to take care of them for you.

  305. See, not do you go back? Not everybody can handle the

  306. word over your life. Not everybody can handle the

  307. favor on your life. When you're trying to testify,

  308. they hear, they hear boasting. They hear Cockiness, man.

  309. I'm just trying to tell you what God showed me, not everybody can

  310. handle your joy. Easy now.

  311. He assured them speaking with them, Heart to Heart.

  312. True Victory is not found in ignoring loss.

  313. Use loss as fuel for purpose. True Victory is not found in

  314. ignoring loss feel the tear-filled of pain wipe the

  315. tears. See, this makes you angry.

  316. That's all fuel. Anger is energy.

  317. Now, if you could Channel it into something, good, that anger

  318. can be turned in for breakthrough, it can be made for

  319. Progress. It can be made for advancement.

  320. That's why I said be angry just don't send but that anger is

  321. fuel. Romans 8, we assured, we are

  322. assured and know that God being a partner in their labor.

  323. All things work together and are fitting into a plan for good

  324. too. and for those who love God, I love this part.

  325. It is say fitting for those who God loves, don't read too quick.

  326. he got the back of those who got his Here's what you got to

  327. understand. It's not that he don't want to

  328. help but he's the rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

  329. Without faith, it's impossible to please him.

  330. There's principle set in the earth Kingdom principles that he

  331. would be a lie. If he defied, if he went against

  332. those principles and there's things that we do that, give the

  333. principles of Hell, the principles of fear, we give

  334. legal, right? For certain things in the earth

  335. to play out in our lives. That's why we gotta know the

  336. rules of the game. And we got to know which rules

  337. Been towards heaven. So we gotta love, we gotta walk

  338. by faith. We got a sow seed.

  339. We gotta forgive, we gotta count it all joy, count, it all joy is

  340. a mental plan. Like I got a reason to flip out,

  341. but I'm going to count that as Joy.

  342. These are all plans principles mindsets that help us walk in

  343. the things that he has already given us.

  344. We're discovering promise and blessing, he's already released

  345. it. So that's why I gotta stay

  346. straight not to the left or to the right.

  347. But I got to stay straight. Keep my eyes on him, keep my

  348. eyes on the word and not allow myself to get deterred.

  349. If you want something to work, it's a way to do it, but you got

  350. to stick to God's way. You're not gonna do it God's

  351. way, you gonna do it your way, guess what?

  352. It ain't gonna work. Tell all things work together

  353. for the good of those who, like, he said, and are called,

  354. according to his design and purpose.

  355. Proverbs 24 for the lovers of God may suffer adversity and

  356. stumble seven times seven, completion, What they will

  357. continue to rise over and over again.

  358. Trying to help you learn how to lose, well.

  359. You don't stay down and please do not call a stumble or fall.

  360. Stop misdiagnosing what you're going through.

  361. You stumbled, you didn't fall. I was walking in the mall the

  362. other day and and I didn't eat. I don't know when it would have,

  363. but what was going on? But my legs was heavy and I was

  364. going up some stairs in my leg got caught on the stairs.

  365. Boom, bye-bye. Held onto my bag.

  366. Gotta it was a close call. But but, but but this what I

  367. did. I Stumble.

  368. Bye-bye. Whew.

  369. And I was with people, right? Didn't B, mole, look around.

  370. And think about being embarrassed.

  371. Now, if I fail, I would have been embarrassed, but I stumbled

  372. if anything, you shall should have got a round of applause in

  373. the store. You could be falling but never

  374. fall. And that's the thing I learned

  375. about being athletic and how you train you, you got to learn how

  376. you gotta train to stand on your feet and at bare minimum learn

  377. how to fall, right? When you know how to fall, you

  378. don't stay down long. He hit that roll.

  379. One time. You'll trip.

  380. Hit that neo-kowloon. Nobody even saw that.

  381. It's too quick but will do. Oh my God.

  382. What was that? Y'all see that.

  383. Anybody why y'all not listening to me to anybody?

  384. See that thing go by, what was it?

  385. I don't know. It was a thing, though.

  386. I felt something. Y'all think I'm crazy.

  387. Now, I'm not getting a go. Get the manager.

  388. I'm about to get paid today. It was a slip.

  389. Y'all chill to dry the floor. Oh my neck, my neck, my neck.

  390. Oh, my neck and my back. And how many people you see

  391. faking the injury? So they don't gotta work.

  392. No more. Okay.

  393. Stop falling in love with being down some falling in love.

  394. See. But this is why he can, I help

  395. you. This is why we like being down

  396. because we get attention, we get help.

  397. Help. We get we get dinners made for

  398. us right if I get out of his hospital bed, I'm not going to

  399. get this much visitation. Right?

  400. If I get up, I'm not going to get people asking me.

  401. Huh, I'm doing. What do I do when I don't

  402. complain? No more.

  403. I like how when I got the phone babe?

  404. Can you bring me some chicken noodle soup?

  405. Please? My throat hurt.

  406. Anybody can you are? My thought I was working all day

  407. yesterday. All right.

  408. So what we'll do is sometimes will believe our way into not

  409. being well, because if I honestly diagnosed what I'm

  410. going through, I will find out that I actually can get over it.

  411. And there's something addictive. About getting the attention that

  412. you can only get from being down, it's a different attention

  413. that you get for winning. When you win, we celebrate, it's

  414. not a pampering. There's a, you did it.

  415. But when you're down, there's this attention, there's

  416. discomfort, there's this pacifying, there's this

  417. attention that allows us to retreat.

  418. Now saying don't grieve not saying.

  419. None of that stuff. What I'm saying is be careful.

  420. Of the spirit. Pacifying ourselves.

  421. It's like, people, that's addicted to complaining or

  422. gossip or some people, no matter what they will always.

  423. Have a drama episode. You know those people you

  424. sitting next to somebody? That they all the people that

  425. always got. You like how did that happen to

  426. you? I was walking down the street

  427. and all of a sudden this this helicopter, Came in the store.

  428. I know you people that start off, they conversation.

  429. I know you not gonna believe this.

  430. It has to work out. So keep talking about it.

  431. What do I mean? Keep talking about what he said

  432. even if what he said ain't showed up yet, keep talking

  433. about it. They don't think you're crazy.

  434. Joseph said this crazy keep talking about it get around

  435. people where you can keep talking about the victory.

  436. That ain't showed up yet. Paying less around the show and

  437. tell people and get around the people.

  438. You could just tell God is about to do something.

  439. God is broke me through even though I don't look like I'm

  440. broken through, God has healed me even when I know I'm sick but

  441. get around the people that when you tell them what God says,

  442. even if it ain't showed up, they will celebrate with you call

  443. those things that be not as though they were And I will

  444. practice speaking victory until I see Victory.

  445. Come on, get your hands up. Practice speaking Victory, Speak

  446. Life over yourself right now. Speak healing over your family

  447. right now. Practice seek speaking Victory,

  448. I don't care what your situation is, but practice speaking it

  449. now, practice speaking it. Now, Anxiety is not mine.

  450. It's a part of my life but it is not my life.

  451. It is not my identity shit.

  452. They overcame by the word of their testimony and they did not

  453. love their life loss. They gave up Pleasures, they

  454. gave up control Roll. This is how they overcame, not

  455. just by talking about how good God was.

  456. They also whether people who love, he's working everything

  457. together for those who love, what does it look like?

  458. Loving God shift, your affections to God's affections.

  459. We are pressed or pressured in every way this how you handle

  460. loss? We're pressured in every way

  461. heads in, but not Crushed mentality mentality.

  462. Yeah, that happened to me, but I'm still alive.

  463. And the worst thing that you could have allow me to do, is in

  464. the midst of this tragedy. I got up again and see another

  465. day. Perplexed, unsure of finding a

  466. way out, but not driven to despair hunt, it down and

  467. persecuted. But not deserted to stand alone,

  468. struck down. But never ever, ever, ever

  469. destroy. Come on, speak to yourself.

  470. Oh, this gonna be a day. I say it every Sunday and every

  471. Sunday is a day. It's a day for victory.

  472. It's a day, for hope, it's a day.

  473. Not sabotage. This is your day to get out of

  474. my life. This is a Day of Victory before

  475. this year is over. I guarantee you.

  476. I will personally see everything that God has promised for my

  477. life, my family and everybody that's connected with me.

  478. I don't need to see it to speak it.

  479. I know it, he's faithful. I've seen the tough come.

  480. I've seen and I love getting that prophetic word where it's

  481. telling me, hey, cloudy days are coming.

  482. There's going to be some some mundane days.

  483. There's gonna be some inactivity, but stay the course.

  484. And guess what came cloudy days? Mundane moments dark Seasons

  485. persecution. But on the other side of that

  486. word was, there's a king tide coming.

  487. I'm not going to major in the bad news in minor in the good

  488. news. if your hands Right Where You Are, Now pray at least two

  489. more people hop on this Victory train you choose to stay the

  490. same today you could choose to just be inspired or transformed.

  491. Inspiration is not a guaranteed way to transformation

  492. transformation is a choice. Making a commitment to a church.

  493. Home is a choice. It's not Disneyland, it's not a

  494. place where I just go. Where I just want to get

  495. inspired know, I make a commitment for the rest of my

  496. life to be rooted in the body of Christ, to be routed, around

  497. Victory, to be a rooted around a higher way of living.

  498. And thinking, to be routed around wholeness to be rooted in

  499. a place that will love me challenge me.

  500. Hold me, accountable, and grow me.

  501. So I speak to that lie in your life.

  502. You do want to win, you do. Want to be a champion, you do

  503. want to exist at high levels, you do want to be the best in

  504. your field. Stop said.

  505. Looking for average, you were not created to be average, you

  506. were created to be great. So I thank you Lord.

  507. That there's nothing average in this room.

  508. Jesus name. Hey man.

  509. Give God a hand, please. Faster.

  510. You can be seated, really quickly, Pastor Dylan, ask,

  511. Kitty, share something and I'ma let him do it.

  512. Amen. Amen man.

  513. Who is excited about that word? That just went forth this

  514. morning, who's excited? We serve a God that works all

  515. things together for our good. Who's excited to be on the

  516. winning team? The championship team.

  517. All right, well, not only did Jesus welcomed us on to the

  518. championship. Up team but he blessed us with

  519. pastors as coaches to help us walk in Victory.

  520. Now today in our day-to-day life and for those who don't know,

  521. October is Pastor appreciation day.

  522. And so I see a team of us specifically asked pastors, who

  523. would it be? Alright, if we put together

  524. something just to honor you guys because you guys have led us,

  525. well, you guys have raised us up in the way we should go and

  526. like, Coaches, you as a pastor has pulled greatness out of us,

  527. you have imparted a passion within us to win.

  528. You've demonstrated Faith to keep going to stand on the word

  529. until we see the word to come to past in her life and so we are

  530. forever grateful and we want to honor.

  531. You first Timothy 5 says this. It says the pastors or the

  532. coaches who lead the church well should be pay.

  533. Well, they should receive double honor.

  534. R4 Faithfully preaching and teaching the revelation of the

  535. word of God. And so we just want to bless our

  536. men and women of God through just sewing finances, if they

  537. have impacted your life, if you have seen just a greater level

  538. of Faith, rise up, as they've been leading, you the Bible

  539. encourages us to honor them through our finances.

  540. There's an exchange that takes Place from their spiritual

  541. impartation. We want to impart Earthly

  542. Treasures back to them as a way of saying, thank you for holding

  543. them up. And so following the service, we

  570. history of 10 a.m. service. We might go over two minutes.

  571. Yeah. But we're done.

  572. I want to show you guys a video and then we'll end with one song

  573. I could cut stuff out. Just to get you out of here

  574. 11:29. But if you never come back

  575. because we finished at 11:35, then you don't want to be here

  576. in the first place. Amen.

  580. And so they're extending you an opportunity.

  581. They asked me, I didn't ask them, but I'm not going to have

  582. false humility with some people that want to honor us.

  583. I understand the power of Covenant, the power of sewing.

  584. I'm Not going to rob people from the opportunity to be a blessing

  585. when I know the people that are sewing.

  586. There's no strings attached. If you have strings attached to

  587. your gift, do not give if you don't feel like Givin do not

  588. give, okay, read your Bible on giving read your Bible on honor,

  589. its biblical, right? But but but spending millions of

  590. dollars on Christmas isn't biblical and you still do that.
