Plug Into the Positive

God is concerned about the heart, man looks on the outwards, but God looks at the what,

heart. If you knew what I meant, I designed your mercy. God is a God of mercy, He's a God of love,

He's a God of hope, He's got to list you up and not put you down. And if you want to have a great

rest of the year with the halfway mark, you got to always plug into the positive, even when the

negative is around you. Welcome to the City Light Church podcast. Thanks for joining us today,

as we look into God's Word and discover the hope and truth that He has for us.

for you. I'm honored and excited to welcome the man of God, the friend of this house, Pastor

Maurice Johnson, to bring the Word. Let's give him the warm city light. Welcome.

Praise God. Thank you for that warm welcome.

It's the second service. You know, it's the hot service. I'm warmed up now. Y'all warmed up.

Glorative God. God is good and God is gracious. Amen.

Send it with me. Well, after the minute quote, the scripture to you.

Psalm 145 verse 9 says, the Lord, and you should memorize the scripture. It's a powerful scripture.

Psalms 145:9

The Lord is good to all and it's tender mercies of all His works. The Lord is good to who?

And his tender mercies of all the how many of his works? So everybody gets to experience the

goodness of God and his tender mercies. Praise God. God not just yanking you around. He's tender

with you. Amen. Send it with me. The Lord is good to me and his tender mercies are over me.

Say this with me. I am blessed. Coming in and going out. I'm blessed in the city and I'm blessed in

the field. The Lord makes me the head and not the tail. I'm above only and not beneath. I'm on

the top, only and never on the bottom. All things are working together for my good because I'm

all that. No. Sorry, sorry, because I love God. And of the call, according to his purpose,

the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. I shall not lack. I shall not go down. I shall only go up.

He makes me to lie down by green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul.

He leads me in the past of righteousness, the past of victory, the past of prosperity for his

name's sake. Yay. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

For you are with me, you are art and your staff. They comfort me. You prepare a table for me

in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, ideas, concepts, insights are coming

to me swiftly, speedily and in abundance. My cup, my bank account, my wallet, my pocket books,

the real ones and the fake ones. They overflow. Hallelujah. Wealth and riches shall be in my house.

Surely, somebody say surely, over this, say surely, over here, say surely, over here, say surely,

goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell on the house

of the Lord forever. Come on and shout about that.

That's a demonstration of quoting the word and plugging into the positive. Today we're talking

about plugging into the positive. You and I both know if you look at the news, if you look at

YouTube, if you look at Instagram, if you look at Facebook, there's a lot of negative.

There's some funny stuff, there's some good stuff, but there's a lot of negativity in the earth

around. But you have a choice to plug into the negative or to plug into the positive.

And if you're going to have an amazing rest of the year and amazing summer and amazing fall

and amazing winter, you got to plug into the positive.

Season's change, not only physically, but in the realm of this world. Prices go up, prices go down.

This political person comes into office, that political person comes into office. It doesn't matter

what's going on around you. You have a covenant with God, a new covenant, establish on better

promises, and you have the right and you have the responsibility to plug into the positive.

Amen? Do you realize the kingdom you're in is a positive kingdom? The Bible says the kingdom of

God is not just eating and drinking. It actually says it's not eating, you know what it is? It's

righteousness, positive, peace, positive. And what joy in the Holy Ghost? That's positive.

Everything about our God, everything about the kingdom you are in is positive. You know

who should be smiling the most? You. Nothing comedians? You and some of you need to watch some

comedy, even the crazy comedy. So laughing, get yourself jolted a little bit. The Bible

David said he's a lifter of my head. The Bible says in a book of Acts times of refreshing.

What? Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. With his worship, you should

feel refreshed. Hallelujah. The presence of God is over you. The presence of God is inside of you.

And you shouldn't just be plugged into the positive in church. You're plugged into the positive

in your home. I don't care who lives there. I don't care what's going on. You standing at

the shower and you declare no weapon for me against me shall prosper. Every time that rises against

me shall be condemned. I believe I receive everything that God has for me. I believe that you're

dealing with benefits. I will have heaven on earth in my life no matter what. Amen. Oh, you

don't know the kind of husband I got. But I do know what kind of words you got. And it kind of

saved you, you got. It was his death and life or what? And the power of your tongue. And those

who love it shall eat the fruit thereof. I remember I was preaching recently and I felt

by the spirit to say something to one of my members. And I said, the Lord says to tell you,

it shall be in your house as you say. And I began to minister to him afterwards. I found

that something had transpired in his home with one of his children that I didn't even know about.

And little turmoil. But that word encouraged him. That word reminded him. It's not the behavior of

your kid that you look at is what you're saying that you look at. If God said your children,

shall we throw the Lord and grace you by their peace. That is what you believe. It's a say 54.

Amen. If the Bible says whatever whoever seems against you shall fall for your sake. You believe

that. You don't believe. Oh, my, my boss. She trying to get me. My coworker trying to get me

at. Who are they? The Bible says in Deuteronomy 28, they shall come out against you one way

and flee before you seven ways. Seven means complete defeat. So you tell your boss, your

coworker trying to sabotage you, say, you're walking on dangerous ground. You're coming against

Isaiah 54 in my life. And before I fall, you will fall. Come on. Y'all, y'all, y'all scared, y'all

scared. Come on. Get out of here. Guess I've been scared, y'all. That'd be a little hurt. Great.

Amen. That'll walk in there like you on the joint. Amen. Praise God.

That's called the spirit of dominion. Oh, that's pride. No dominion. The boss of God has given

dominion to us, not just to the CEO, but to every believer on the planet. So I don't care if you

washing cars. I don't care if you cleaning the hotels. I don't care if you're an executive or

you're not executive. You hold your head up and you walk in dominion and you plug into the

positive and you say, my life will be great. My life will be good. Amen. There's a lot of negative

Nancy's out there. A lot of them. A lot of hating carrots. A lot of bozos. But the American

difference is a bozo or not. You plug into the positive. If you have an encounter with somebody

in the retail store and they give you attitude, they cut you in the line, they do something that

offends you, don't even curse them out. Like I know you want to. Just simply plug into the positive

and say, God bless you. I remember reading a story by Joel Osteen many, many years ago and

it basically was about, it was talking about just being good to people. So I remember this is

when I was driving. So this is a long time ago because I just ride in Uber's now and get driven.

So there was a parking lot I was waiting for. Spacing was crowded and then I saw another car come

and I remembered that story, that article that I read from Joel about being good to people,

just blessing people. So I was in a good space. Headspace. I said, hey, I need something to take

the space. You got to look at me. You know, people usually think you're going to rush in. I said,

no, take the space. Now, this is an empty car space, right? You know what he said to me? What's wrong

with it? I'm like, okay, bro, it's a car space. There's nothing there. But he was so trained in

the negative that he literally said, and he was serious. What's wrong with it? Because he wasn't

expecting somebody to let him have the space instead of them taking it. Isn't it incredible?

It shocked me that he said that. But I said, oh, that's the mind trained in the negative.

That's that New York City mind. We got to get mine. No, no, no, you can have it.

God will provide. Amen. So you're in the line. So I want to cut you to head. No problem. Go.

You can go ahead of me. No problem. I don't think so. No, do it. You'll be surprised how it

changes your scope that I don't have to claw my way to the top. I don't have to fight for victory.

I already have it. Amen. I'm already winning. When you're number one, you don't have to fight to be

number one. Hello, somebody. Glory to God. So I say I serve a positive God. Look at me at Matthew

Matthew 12 · chapter mention

chapter 12. I just quoted verse seven last time. But let's look at the entire

passage, the beginning of it, the context. I kind of quoted it, but I want you to read it. Verse

one, at that time Jesus went through the grain fields of the Sabbath on the Sabbath and his disciples

were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. And when the Pharisees, the religious negative

Nancy's, sorry, they said to him, look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the

Sabbath. But he said to them, have you not read what David did when he was hungry? He and those

who were with him, how he entered the house of God and ate the show bread, which is not lawful for

him to eat. Uh-oh. Nor for those who were with him, but only for the priest or have you not

read in the law that on the Sabbath, the priest in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless.

Yet I say to you that in this place, there was one greater than the temple. But if you had known

what this means, whoa, come on, Jesus. I desire mercy and not sacrifice. You would have, you would

have not condemned the guiltless for the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.

So he was saying, you are a religious leader and you're worried about the law more than them being

hungry. What was happening, the religious leaders were plugging into the negative, the rules

instead of human compassion. He said, if you are known what I meant by the scripture,

I desire mercy, you wouldn't even be talking right now. You can dim the guiltless while they're

guilty. First of all, I'm the Lord giver. And if they're doing something that's breaking my

law and I'm bothered by it, why are you bothered by it? Have you met people who are bothered by

things that they should be bothered by? That's concerning your life. And that's what Jesus was saying.

He says, a greater than the temple is here. And if you knew how to plug into the positive,

you would not have condemned the guiltless. There's people all over who will condemn you for even

like dressing how we dress down. No, there's a dresser church. Who are you?

God is not concerned about the heart. Man looks on the outward, but God looks at the what?

Heart. Come on somebody. If you knew what I meant, I desire mercy. God is a God of mercy.

He's a God of love. He's a God of hope. He's a God that lists you up and not puts you down.

Amen. And if you want to have a great rest of the year with the halfway mark,

you've got to always plug into the positive. Even when the negative is around you.

Let's look at the story of David. David was surrounded by the negative.

First Samuel 17 goes me there.

Verse 26. You know this amazing story of David and Goliath.

David has just been anointed as the next king. He's a big deal, but everybody doesn't know it yet.

They're about to find out. Then David spoke to the man who stood by him saying,

what shall be done for the man who kills the Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel.

So the verse before it shows that the armies of Israel and King Saul are running from this giant.

Now they've had victories already. They were an amazing military, but there's always something

that tries to rise up to say, I don't care how many victories you had. I don't care how victorious

you think you are. I'm going to be the thing that's going to defeat you. And the Bible says they

were afraid. Now I've preached this many times in different ways, and I didn't bring this out in

the first service. I'm going to bring this out in this service. Now David is a Hebrew just like

them. He's not trained in the military. He's not part of King Saul's army. And they're running

afraid, but he's confident. Let's see. Well, I'm going to show you. Let me ask you a question.

Why do you think David's brother and the rest of the army were afraid, but David's 17 year old

boy was confident? Did you ever think about that? We talked a story that he was confident.

Does anybody have an answer? You can talk back. We're teaching more now. Let me tell you. Let

me send me to you, but I believe. And what is obvious, they were focused on their fighting skills.

David meditated on the covenant.

Your natural abilities can take you only, but so far. But the word can take you over the top.

He had a covenant mind. You don't get a covenant mind just by all Hebrews, but he was the one

that said, who is this Philistine? Who is this unsurken size Philistine? See,

covenant that he should defy the armies of the living God. In other words, this shouldn't be happening.

And there's things in your life that you're going to have to denounce, that you're going to have

to resist and say, this shouldn't be happening. When the devil tries to put sicknesses on disease

on you, you're going to say, this should not be happening. Who are you to touch the temple

of the Holy Ghost? Who are you to come on this great wine? You see all this glory? Get off

of me in Jesus name. The Bible says, at he is, so are you in this world talking about Jesus.

If Jesus is not, doesn't it have breast cancer? I don't have breast cancer. If Jesus doesn't have

bone cancer, I don't have bone cancer. It's illegal in my body. I don't care if it's a pain,

I don't care if it's back pain, I don't care if it's my brain headaches you've had for years,

you stand against it. The Bible says, resist the devil. And he will what?

flee from you. But you can't be negative and then resisting. You've got to be a positive

Maurice. Amen. And then you have to resist the devil. That's from James. Peter comes now and says

the devil walks about like a roaring line like a roaring line. He's not a roaring line. He's

a nobody. He's a defeated foe. Seeking. What is he doing? Seeking. He's looking. He's lurking.

He's a bummer. He's like that he's out there. They're looking and they're lurking. Oh,

who's the weak grandma I can rob? The devil is lurking seeking whom he may devour. Which means

that your devouring is not automatic. You have to give him legal rights to devour. You know how

you break his legal right to devour you? Stay positive. The devil works and moves in the realm of

the negative. So you see, these guys were afraid and terrified because they were not staying

positive. They weren't thinking about the great God that delivered them. The great God that

got their people out of Egypt. The great God that split the Red Sea. They weren't thinking about

that. They weren't thinking about the covenant that God made with Abraham. They were thinking about

their circumstances and they got afraid and they were losing. But you're going to do that. Are

you going to be like David and you're going to speak positive? Amen. Now look what he said

verse 27 and the people answered him in this manner saying, so shall it be done for the man who

kills him? Now, Lee Ab, the oldest brother heard when he spoke to the man and Eliab's anger was

aroused against David. When you're positive, everybody's going to be happy for you. Sometimes people

will be angry at your positive. Have you ever been positive or someone was angry about it? Why

are you so positive? Anybody have experienced that? Yeah, yeah. It's in the Bible and it happens in

real life. You have to ignore that and look what he says. He did. And he said, why did you come down

here, sibling rivalry and with whom have you felt let those few sheep in the wilderness be

little in him? Yeah, you're a little sheep. I know you're pride and the influence of your heart

for you have come down to see the battle. Okay, and if he did so what? Hating it. And David said,

what have I done now? So you know that they've been in this battle, sibling rivalry for some time.

Is there not a cause? There's a reason I'm here that he turned from him and that's what they do when

somebody's negative turn from them. You don't have to entertain negativity turn from it. And by

us as he turned from him toward another and said the same thing and these people answered him as

the first one did. Now when the words which David spoke were heard, the what? When the what? When the

what? Everybody. Okay, class. When the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to

Saul and he sent for him. Your words are always heard in the natural and in the spread world.

Angels are listening to your words. Demons are listening to your words. God is listening to your

words. The devil is listening to your words. Jesus needs you to plug into the positive. The

Bible says he's the high priest of your what? He's the high priest of your what?

Of your confession. Now do you know what a high priest is? One who represents you before the throne

of God. And so if you're saying I'm healed, guess what happens? Healing manifests. If you're saying

I'm going to die, guess what's going to happen? You're going to die. If you're saying I'm broke,

angels wings are closed and the demons are probably are coming. But if you say wealth and

riches shall be in my house, those angels are like yeah, let's give him some money. If you say

money coming to me now, like I do, abundantly, frequently and speedily, guess what? Angels

go to work. Your words determine your destiny. Your words determine your outcome.

Get all the new ages speak your positive and manifestin. You have the saints in church crying.

It's time to go from wanting to winning. Hello somebody. Too much word in you. Too much

covenant over your life. Too much prophetic things said to you for you to be losing. Hallelujah.

Paul said in all these things, we are more than what conquerors through him who love me. You

must be obsessed with winning. And that comes when your mind is in the covenant renewed. Come on

somebody. Hey, where's my organ? Then David said to Saul, let no man's heart fail because of him.

This Palestinian nobody, your servant will go and fight with this Palestinian. And Saul said to

David, you are not able see now Saul is not being a hater. He's just talking facts he thinks

it's true. So that sometimes you have people, maybe a parent, maybe an aunt, maybe an uncle,

maybe a grandparent who loves you. They have good intentions, but they're still speaking negative.

They're still diminishing your ability with their words.

Maybe it's a coworker. You are not able to go against this Palestinian to fight with him for

you are a youth and he a man of war from his youth. Okay, aunt. But David said, but David said to Saul,

your servant, he's giving his resume now, used to keep his father's sheep. And when a lion or a bear

came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it and delivered the lamb from

its mouth. And when it rose against me, I caught it by its bed and struck and killed it. Your

servant has killed both lion and bear and this uncircumcised Philistine. He keeps calling the

enemy a nobody. He has no covenant. He can say this Philistine. He said, no, this uncircumcised

Philistine, no covenant bomb will be like one of them seeing he has defied the armies of the living

God. So he said, when the devil comes against you, he's come against the living God.

Then he says verse 37, moreover, David said, the Lord, who?

Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might and put on the full arm of God.

The Lord who delivered me from the poor the lion and from the poor the bear, he will deliver me

from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, okay, now go and the Lord be with you.

He's like, whoa, you sound very confident, very convinced. And he was. And Paul said, I am persuaded

that nothing shall separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Another

translate says, I am convinced. What are you convinced about in the world? The Bible says a good

man. I mean, a man, I'm not saying now, now let's say it up. A man finds a good thing. I

don't quote it. Now I know all these scriptures and I'm missing up this one. He that, thank you.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. And so if you're a single

woman and you want to be found, you know, would you be confessing? I'm a good thing to be found.

Come on, where you at husband? I see you. I see you in the spirit. Amen. If you're a man who

single looking for a wife, you say, I'm going to find my good thing. And I'm going to receive

favor from the Lord. I know this is New York City. They say this is the single city. No, you don't

have to be single. You can be married in New York City and be happily married. Amen. But you have

to be more covenant-minded than circumstance-minded. You're going to plug into the positive and not

the negative. Oh, everybody's cheating. All the men and dogs. Come on. He probably DL, listen, listen.

I'm done with this dating thing. Dating, the dating pool is crazy. You're plugging into the negative.

Can't got no money. I always get the guys who are broke and I got to pay for the dinner. Stop saying that.

Stop saying I'm getting the guys who got money.

Praise the Lord. Jesus said, you shall have what you want. Come on. David had what he said.

Glory to God. Verse 45, skip down. Then David said to the Philistine, you come to me. Now he's

taking to the enemy himself, the mount in himself, the problem itself. You come to me with a sword

with a spear and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the

army of Israel, whom you have defied this day. Somebody say this day, the Lord will deliver you

into my hand and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the

carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth

that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know

that the Lord does not save with sword and spear. For the battle is the Lord and he will give you

into our hands. That's called plugging into the positive. Plugging into the covenant,

plugging into the word. So it was when the Philistines arose and came and drew near to me, David,

that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. You'll know whether you're

in faith or not by how fast you're running to the problem or running from the problem.

See I'm running to the obstacle because I know I already have the victory.

Come on somebody. Then David put his hand in his back and took out a stone and he slung it

and struck the Philistine in his forehead so the stones sank into his forehead and he fell

on his face to the earth. Every problem, every obstacle will fall on his face before you

in Jesus name. Do you believe that? Shall I believe it? Rejoice like you believe it.

Verse 50. So David put your name in there. So Maurice, whatever your name is. So David prevailed over

the Philistine with a sling and a stone and struck the Philistine and killed him but there was no

sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran and stood on the Philistine. Took his sword.

Sounds like the wealth of the sinners laid up for the just. Come on somebody and it's finding

his way into his hands, amplified version. Took his sword and drew it out his sheep and killed him

and cut off his head with it. It's time to cut off the head of your problems. Those long standing

problems, those long standing situations, it's time to take off the sword of the spirit,

which is the word of God, Ephesians 6, and speak to the mountain. Not whine about the mountain.

Now talk about the mountain. Girl, you know, no. Girl, you know what the word says, right?

She says speak to the mountain and it'll be removed. Talking about the mountain, talking about the

problem is not changing anything. Oh, pass away. I have to keep it real. No, you're keeping it wrong.

Because in the covenant of God in Jesus said, speak to the mountain. Cancer, go. Depression

leaves me now. Are you against therapy? No, have your Jesus in therapy, but you still got to speak

to the mountain. I don't care how much you talk to the therapist. Speak to your mind.

When David was depressed, he said, why are you cashed down all my soul? Hope that went God.

He commanded his mind, will, and emotions to be a certain way. You can command yourself to be

happy. You can command your body to be well. You can command your finances to go up. Say the

money's going up. Hallelujah. You have the power. The devil wants you to believe that. The

world is going to believe that you have the power. That's just the power of your vote, the power of

your mouth. Amen. Okay. How much of gas goes up? How much of price goes up? Okay. You are not

of this world. You're just in it. Amen. And my God shall supply all of your needs according

to my dummy's tax plan. According to a president Trump's tax plan. No? According to his riches

and glory, what? By Christ Jesus. Plug into the positive and everything in your life will change.

Do you believe that? Hallelujah. Praise God. I didn't do an altar call in the first

years I'm doing this one. Everybody about your head. Close your eyes, please. If you're in this

place today and you've never given your life to Jesus, you've never plugged into the positive one.

I want you to raise your hand high and we're going to give you the opportunity to plug into the

positive one to plug into the sacrifice of the lamb and be born again and be saved and turned

from your sins and make heaven your home. If that's you today, raise your hand high and we're

going to pray with you. I'm going to ask you to join this church. I'm just giving you an

opportunity to receive Jesus as your savior and plug into the real positive one. Raise your hand

high and say, Pastor Marie, that's me. I want to be saved. I want to be born again. I want to

go to heaven. Raise your hand high so I can see it. I see that one hand. I see two hands,

anybody else. I see three. I see four. I see five. Come on. Raise your hand. Say, Pastor Marie,

that's me. I need to give my life to Jesus. It's crazy to go to church and then go to hell. No,

you're here. You're hearing the good news of Jesus Christ. The positive life is yours. The positive

advantage is yours. Give your life to Jesus. All those who raise your hand and those who didn't raise

your hand, but you know that's you. Stand to your feet. Stand to your feet. Stand to your feet.

Stand to your feet. Yes, thank you. Stand to your feet. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Praise

the Lord. Praise the Lord. Okay, give them a hand, guys. Look at these. One, two, three, four,

five. Look at this little boy coming to you. Oh, you standing up in the back too? Praise the Lord.

Six, six souls. Hallelujah. Anybody else, you need to give your life to Jesus.

Keep standing. Don't sit down. Keep standing. Keep standing. Praise the God. Anybody else.

Praise the God. Six souls. Say this prayer to me. Like I said, your words matter. Your words

is going to change your destiny. Take you from hell to heaven right now. Amen. From sinner to

saint right now. Okay, all of you don't don't look at me. Just say the words with me. All right.

Say Lord Jesus. No, you guys. I want you guys. I want them to say it. You say it, guys.

Lord Jesus. I am a sinner. I don't want to be a sinner no more. I want to be a saint.

I don't want to go to hell. I want to go to heaven. I believe that God sent you to die for my

sins and you rose from the dead for me. I receive you Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior.

Save me from my sins. In Jesus' name, I've just been born again. I've just been saved. Thank you,

Jesus. Come on, everybody. Hallelujah. I believe there's a card they can fill out. What can they do?

Okay, so please fill out this connection card. If you don't have it in your seat, get one and then

there's a Bible in front that you can get and you'll be contacted and they'll let you know

what your next steps are. All right. Come on. Congratulations. Welcome to the family of God.

Hallelujah. Make sure you love one of these people who give their life to Christ as a lady.

Waiting back. Make sure you love one of her and congratulate her and welcome to the family of

God. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. All right. My time is up and we're going to take the offering.

How many ready to give? Can I say, I'm ready to give. I'm ready to plug into the

anointing to prosper. I'm going to tell you a real quick story and then we're going to turn

back over to our awesome worship team. I have been given a lot. Now I tied them tens of

15 and God's blessed me. My life is very blessed and I've been given a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot recently

to people and I was like, okay, Lord, this, I'm giving too much and I need some, some return.

And so I talked to a lot about it. You said, if I was so, that you would multiply the seat

zone. You said, do good to all especially to those of the household of faith. I've been blessing

your people and so I need to see some return. Shortly after that, someone sent me

Zell for $1,500. Two days later, a lady from my church texted me who's only ever giving

me like maybe 100, 200, my birthday, Christmas, praise God for years. I've known her for years.

But she said, the Lord told me to give you this money and I just want to tell you a text that

I'm sending it to your Zell and she sent me $3,000. Within three days, $4,500 and I was getting paid

two days later and I could pay good. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God is not a liar. I've been

testifying about that and this is and I'll give you, I have a whole bunch of other stories of money

coming into my hand because I'm a sower and I want to encourage you. I know you hear this every

week. You can see it on TV, but let me tell you something. It's real. Sewing is real, reaping

on harvest is real. I actually didn't tell it's on the first day. I was going to tell this and then

we're done. I told a couple that gives a lot of money to my church and gives a lot of money to

people and gave a whole lot of money during this past year. That tax person said, wow, I said,

but you're not receiving. I said, you know why? Because your hearts think that you should just get

from your jobs. Your heart is not open to receive from people. You need to repent and they agreed.

They looked at their lives because they're high earners and I said, just because your high earners

in me that God can't use people to bless you. I said, I opened my spirit wide this morning. I went

to bless you and I could feel nothing. And I said, I know that means you're not a receiver. They

repented. The next day, the husband got a call from Yale University. He works for what's that

thing called health and hospitals. They gave him an offer double what he's making now. And he's

making a lot of money. Double. Amazing, right? Since you don't know how I tell you the thing, $80

is an hour. So you know what that comes to because he just made a switch in his heart.

Give and open your heart to receive when it comes to people, through a job promotion,

a new job. God is faithful. Amen. You ready to give? You can give these three ways.
