Manifest Abundance – Part 1

2025 is going to be the year of promotion, of acceleration, of breakthrough, of getting

to that next place. God is causing us to come and possess the land. That's what 2025

is about. Taking new ground for the Lord, that stuff that's been in you, locked inside

you. God is going to get it out of you. God is going to cause it to be made manifest.

Welcome to the CityLight 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.

If you want to connect with CityLight Church, feel free to visit us at citylightnyc.com,

that citylightnyc.com. Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy

Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds. As you listen to today's teaching, remember

that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by His grace and that He has

a real hope and a future for you. Say this with me, I'm getting better. Christ is

perfecting me. This is my year. Amen. And speaking of the year, what a year we've had so

far. We're off to a great start. Just finished 21 days of prayer and fasting. Hallelujah.

Yeah. Meeting every night and praying. Fasting as He leads us. We just had John Arnold

with us. That was just incredible three days. What a guy. What an amazing Christian. And

that's what I said to my wife. This is the most unique Christian I've ever met. I didn't

say this is the most unique minister just as a Christian. Just his own relationship with

the Lord, which is so constant, which is all the time. We dropped him off at LaGuardia

Airport last Sunday. And you know, they were talking about snow, but there were no cancellations.

So we dropped him off and everything looked fine. My phone never rang. He never called to

tell me his flight got canceled. But when we started snowing, I said, let me just make

sure he got out. And his flight was canceled. And I couldn't get a hold of him. I got a

hold of his assistant. I said, okay, we already rerouted him. He's going to Atlanta where he

got canceled again yet to spend the night in Atlanta. When I finally got through to him,

you couldn't have found a happy man. Yeah. I'm in Atlanta. I'm going to have to spend the

night. God is good, isn't he? I'll get in Tulsa by tomorrow. 84 years old. I mean, I'm

49. And when, you know, it's like I'm at terminal B. Oh, the transfer is in another terminal.

You start confessing scripture. You know, the Lord is my strength. He's the help of my

life. Lord, I know your hand came upon Elijah and he ran so many miles. Supernaturally

made your hand. Come on for physical endurance and strength. Meanwhile, 84-year-old John is

like, praise the Lord. It's all wonderful. What a message of God's love he brought, which

I'm delighted in having him because that's one of the core messages that comes hopefully

from this pulpit as well. I hope, hopefully, and my wife's like, yeah, encouraging. Hopefully

it wasn't too much. We never heard this before. God calls us friends. Wow. No, because

Jesus is our everything. And relationship with him is the greatest. And intimacy with him

is what this is all about. It's a restoration of what we lost in the Garden of Eden, the

intimacy that was broken because of sin. And now we're restored back to the Lord through

the blood of Jesus. And we can have a friendship with him and enjoy him. Yes, salvation should

be enjoyed, not endured. He didn't save you from an eternal hell to give you hell on

earth. Amen. And so if you're a guest, I want to welcome you especially. And I want to welcome

those people that are online. And just before I begin today's message, I just want to just want

to restate that, that our foundation here is Jesus and relationship with him, knowing him and

making him know. All right, I wanted to say that because the rest of what I'm going to talk about

is going to be about money. Hallelujah. Because if you come midway, you know, you're like, this is what

went to this church and the pastor just talked about money the whole time. I knew it. That was my

some guestist thing and that was my worst fear. You'll be glad you came today. Unless you really,

really love poverty. Then the next hour or so is going to be tough for you. And there are some

people like that. But 20, 25, I'm telling you is a special year. I have never ever said something

like that at the start of a new year. I've never been excited for a year like 2025. 2025 is going

to be the year of promotion, of acceleration, of breakthrough, of getting to that next place.

God is causing us to come and possess the land. That's what 2025 is about. Taking new ground for

the Lord, that stuff that's been in you locked inside of you. God is going to get it out of you.

That stuff that's just so far been on a vision board or in your journal or in your inner musings.

God is going to cause it to be made manifest. So we have to know and be grounded in what the

word of God has to say about money. Why? I'll show you from the word of God. Proverbs chapter

something. And verse another. But it's in Proverbs because it's not. It's in Ecclesiastes.

Hester, did I do that to you in the first service too? And then it didn't go up and I said can

you please put that verse from Proverbs up? And then you still figured it out and put up Ecclesiastes?

God bless the media team. Ecclesiastes 10, 19. Why did I come to church today and the pastor is

going to talk about money? Because I'm evil. Selfish. Because I love you and the Lord loves you way

more and he cares about your life. And on this side of heaven you're going to have to deal with

money. It's only in church that people have like an allergic reaction to discussion about money.

Jesus didn't have such an allergic reaction. He talked about it all the time. You say I don't

remember that exactly. That's why I'm preaching it this Sunday because you don't remember that

because when you got to all those parts you zoned out. Satan made sure. Got you distracted.

And you didn't realize and this is a real stat that Jesus spoke about hell twice as much as he did

about heaven. But he spoke about money, giving, talents, lands, good stewardship. He spoke about

those things more than heaven and hell combined. But only in church do you hear people, why is it always

about the money? First of all, it's not always about the money. But I'm going to make sure you're

not robbed of an essential truth. Nobody goes to the dentist and then goes to the receptionist

and they hand him the bill. Why is it always about the money with this guy? Going to whole foods,

come on. Oh, you're ringing me up. What do you know you people? It's always about the money.

They're fine with living in a world that requires money. But come into church and the pastor shouldn't

talk about the most important thing you're going to deal with. How could he say that the most

important thing? Because the anointing, the manifest presence of God is power. That's real power.

That's power in the spirit. I want more of his anointing. I can do more good and relieve more

suffering. But money is the power in the natural realm. You say money is power and Christian.

Rappers in the 90s got it right and Christians said they still, well, money is power.

Shit, it's not what I'm really. I don't. Yeah, money is power.

Yet Christians have systematically cut themselves off from earthly power by loving

poverty for some reason, getting theology that tends to poverty. You say, no, and not me.

Yeah, some of you. I just got done 21 days of prayer and fasting, praying with you every night,

and some of you scared me. No, it comes in. It sneaks in there. You're praying and then you

praying this great prayer for 60 seconds and last 10 seconds, stuff comes out of your mouth and

you undo the whole prayer. We're reading verses on biblical prosperity, like specifically,

prosperity that has to do with material wealth and provision. And then people will turn it into,

but not just financial prosperity, Lord, you know, you give me peace and you give me joy and you

give me contentment. You know, I love those things too, but specifically the scripture,

there's talking about money, honey. Your silence is going to make me more offensive.

The quieter you are, the more offensive I get.

Money, honey. Dojo. Bread, Fred.

And Christians run from it. Because Satan made it a dirty word. Why? Why would he do that?

Because he hates you and he wants to cut you off from power. At the same time, you've rationalized

it and developed some kind of theology around it that makes you seem up at E and special. No,

being broke is not special. Money is a terrible master, but a wonderful servant.

And here's what the word of God has to say about money. A feast is made for laughter and wine makes

Mary, but money answers everything. Now we saw that real time just now with the L.A. fires.

A lot of people lost their homes. Millionaires lost their homes. But if you were a centa millionaire

with a hundred million or more or a billionaire, somewhere in the 9 to 10 figure range, have you

seen this? They hired private firemen, private fire force. Because it's not so much about the 20

million dollar villa as it is about the 50 million dollar Monet inside. Next to that,

jewelry or great grandfather stole from the royal crown or whatever it is, the pieces that can't

be replaced. So other people's houses burnt down, but for them money answered everything.

I saw that in 2020 during COVID. We were all shut up, locked down,

kids bouncing off four walls, masked up, some people double masking. I'm going to PTSD just

remembering those times. Some people triple masking. But you know, if you had money, you didn't have

to go through any of that. A minister friend invited, he flies private. So he said, come meet me while

I'm in town at the airport. I go to a private airport. Nobody's wearing a mask. Well, the flight

attendance I wear in masks and some of the pilots are wearing masks. But the people with money,

they didn't feel like it. Who's going to tell them to wear a mask? I bought the plane. I charted it.

I don't feel like wearing a mask. This message might be for five people, but bless God.

Hallelujah. God is in the problem solving business. And it's okay to understand that we live on

earth right now, on our way to heaven. And while we're on this side of heaven, we can do more good

with money and solve more problems with money. And money in and of itself is not evil.

Hallelujah. All right. I want to just read to you some stats. These are fresh off the press.

Why why I'm talking about this? Well, for one thing, I got to be I got to tell you I feel like

this is going to go on for weeks. Because that's that's what it takes. If I was making a meal,

this would be just like I'm putting the oven on preheat. No, because this thing, you know,

when God does a deep work and you don't get one sermon and go praise God and I know you got to be

marinated in the word of God. You got to be stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey with the word of God.

It's got to be over and over and over again and your mind has to be changed and faith is produced

from the word of God. I'm not letting this year slide by. This is the year I feel it in my bones.

I know and like I know my own name, both of them. This is the year of breakthrough and acceleration.

Hallelujah. Right now, total household debt is at 7.98 trillion as of Q1 2024. It says that a lot.

Yes. It's a lot and this isn't like national debt. You know, you have the national debt clock and it

shows the debt of the country than it divides it by every family, every person says this is your family.

No, this is credit card debt, student loan debt, mortgages, that kind of stuff. So this is the

highest it's ever been. So as the people were the most indebted we ever were, average debt per

person, $104,215. The sheer amount can cause significant stress with individuals feeling trapped

by their financial obligations, leading to depression and a lowered sense of self-worth as they struggle

to see a way out of debt. This is why the Bible says you're the head and not the tail above only

and not beneath. You'll be the lender, not the borrower because God does not want you living in

that state of anxiety and that state of oppression and that state of feeling these horrid negative

emotions about yourself. He wants your cup to overflow. Amen. But that second stat that the

average debt per person is 104 grand per person, that's the highest we've ever been. You know,

the Bible says there is a form of godliness but they deny the power thereof. Talked about like a

religious church and they have the songs and the motions but there's no anointing there. They

have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. America has a form of prosperity but denies

the actual money they're off. So there's this form of prosperity but the people are broke

in general, in debt and this is the year for change. This is the year. Why this year? I don't know

and I don't prophesy over years but there's something about this year. God's always in the abundance

business. God's always in the blessing business. It's just this year business is going to be a

woman. It's going to be awesome. Hallelujah. Credit card debt, 1.66 trillion in Q3 of 2024, the highest

it's ever been. High credit card balances often lead to constant reminders of financial strain

through interest rates and minimum payments. This can result in emotional turmoil. No, that's not

peace. Including guilt, overspending fear of credit or calls and the stress of managing monthly

finances. The link we see rates are at 8.9%. That means almost one out of 10 people. So the credit card

bill and said, you know what, I'm stopping paying this thing. Rex your credit, Rex your self-esteem.

God has a better way and this is also just for folks and you should be asking why is

pastor talking about this? To avoid this. Amen. Hallelujah. Let's read, let's read Deuteronomy 8.11

because we need, we need to see the heart of God and how God operates and receive it for ourselves.

There is an anointing here. I feel it. Sometimes I go by faith. It's always by faith but it's

nice when you can feel it. I feel it. Up and down my back, down my arms and it's coming on you

and he's shifting, he's rearranging and if I were you, I would make like a sponge and just receive.

I'll let the word of God renew my mind because we all have unbiblical thinking, stinking thinking.

We all, we, we get it. We pick it up and then we pray and it kind of comes out.

When the music fades and all is stripped away, what do you really believe about God's will for

you? Is this will just to keep you alive? Just to keep you alive? I'm barely get along

street or you look at the scriptures and you see that his will is always grand and he's the

God who makes the cup overflow. He's the God when he feeds five thousands, they take up 12 baskets of

leftovers. He's the God when he makes them catch fish, then that breaks the boat sinks. He's the God

who blessed Abraham and then Abraham was like, I don't, the grass can keep up with how quickly my,

my flocks are multiplying. That's the God we serve. So what we're doing is we're just undergoing

some programming here, deprogramming and reprogramming. It reminds me when I first got saved, my

parents were like, you've been brainwashed. I'm like, I know, I needed my brain to be washed.

Those of you joining us online, welcome to the brainwashing session. We've been brainwashed,

we've believed a lot of lies. Now let the word of God undo the lies and let the lies be replaced

with his truth. Verse 11, beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping his

commandments, his judgments and his statutes, which I command you today. So this is just for you to

catch the character of God. What is God like? That's a great question. You can only use the scripture

to support what you believe are the qualities of God. God is holy. Yes, we see the scripture,

God is love. We see the scriptures about that. This will show you that God is a God of multiplication,

of abundance, of prosperity and of blessing. And it's for you. Not some time in the distant future.

Now, now, it's going to begin now. Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not

keeping his commandments, his judgments and his statutes, which I command you today,

lest when you are eaten and are full, shout full and have built beautiful houses, shout beautiful

houses and dwell in them. And I was just going to say that part. And when you're heard,

and you're flocks, shout multiply. See, we like addition. Don't like subtraction. God likes

multiplication. And when you're heard and you're flocks multiply and you're silver and your gold

are multiplied. And all that you have is multiplied. That's God's wealth. And 2025 is the year of

multiplication. Hallelujah. Verse 14, when your heart is lifted up, because he's multiplied. You

so much there's a temptation to be proud. And you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of

the land of Egypt from the house of bondage, who led you through that great and terrible wilderness

in which were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirst the land where there was no water who brought

water for you out of the flinty rock. Say what's God's like? That's what he's like. Someone looks

at a flinty rock. It's funny. It doesn't just say rock. Flinty rock. Like not that there's usually

much moisture in a rock. But a flinty rock is particularly devout of H2O. You know, devoid of H2O.

But God will get water out of a flint. You say, my job, pastor, is a flinty rock. One, he gets water

out of a flinty rock. Two, stop looking at your job. One of the biggest problems you're looking at

your job. You're looking at your paycheck and you're bound by that. God wants to come outside of the

box and shake things up. Get out of your job and you're steady every two week, drip, drip, drip.

God is going to bring you avenues of revenue. Holy goes surprises. Ravens, unexpected sources of

supply. Open yourself up to it. Hallelujah. That he might humble you and that he might test you to do

you good and then, oh, he fed you wilderness in the wilderness with mana. Be careful that then you

don't say in your heart, my power and the might of my hand have gained me this. What? This is the

heart of God. Notice what God didn't, let me just take a pause here. Notice what he didn't say

there. Some of you Hebrews, in fact, the majority of you have gotten really wealthy and I, the Lord,

your God, don't really like that. So give it all away. I mean, did you know there's poor people?

So give it all away and I bless you but now go back to broke because that's my way. Notice he didn't

say that. There are so many scriptures that Christians abuse and twist so they can stay broke. It's

needed a healing. I mean, I need a hug, Emily. You don't know what they do to themselves. They'll

they'll take one scripture in the book of Acts, how the apostles held all things in common and go

full communist on you. Like this one unique thing that happened in this one point in history and

they think God's will is for all of us to just share everything and live in a commune and

Kumbaya and God. That's one example. People who love poverty. Well, they know all the scripture,

they don't know of any scripture, nothing except the poverty scriptures. Well, you know, Jesus said

it's it's easier for a camel to go through or die of a needle than it is for rich man to enter

into the kingdom of heaven. They love that verse. They have it in a plaque over their entry way.

The eye of the needle was actually a gate in Jerusalem, Jerusalem at 12. It was actually a gate

and camels heavy laden with treasures, spices and everything nice and all that would come and

they would have to get on their knees and the bags would have to be taken off of them and then

they could look it up. Google eye of the needle gate. It's a very narrow gate. So Jesus is just saying

it's easier for that if you're a rich person and you're unwilling to bow down and bend your knees

and be free to have the stuff taken from you, you hold it loosely, then it's actually easier for

that camel to going through the eye than it will then for you to enter the kingdom of heaven.

And of course the most famous one, well money is the root of all evil. That's that's like

their foundational verse for their life and the scripture says the love of money is the root of

all evil. Not money. Next verse please. And you shall remember the Lord your God. What about him

for it is he who gives you power, power, anointing, creative ability. It comes from heaven

and God wants to give it to everyone and his people. You say okay, he wants to. Why hasn't he then?

Well, it's not his problem. It's our problem. I found that the Lord will entrust you how much

you're capable of handling. That means there's a responsibility to number one to be a giver

because if you're a giver, he'll get you more to give. Amen. Also not just and this is where I had

a problem with some prosperity teaching, they just stop at giving, like just give. And that's it.

That's a very important part, a vital part, but it's not the only part because if you've never

read a book, really, you don't read books, you don't take any risks, you're not going to experience

biblical prosperity. You're alone, scrolling your phone in your house. There's other important steps

here. Another important step is, we're talking about showing trustworthiness to the Lord so he

can bless us, is what are you doing with the money you have now? If you're just acting like a drunken

count, that isn't pleased with that. Handle it now with respect. Spend it the way he wants you to

spend it. Give how he wants you to give it. And then what you're communicating is Lord, I don't

treat this like my money, but as it is in truth your money and he'll entrust you with more.

Hallelujah. You shall remember the Lord your God for it is he who gives you power to get wealth

that he may establish his covenant, which he swore to your fathers as it is this day. Now listen,

this means that part of the covenant is wealth. And you know who's life you see this covenant

in working in? Well, all of that patriarchs, all of your biblical heroes, but especially Jesus.

Now this is what I want to talk about because so many believers, depending on where you've come from,

they're affected in their ability to receive increase from heaven because they have the wrong

picture of Jesus. They believe that Jesus was a homeless brok hippie, a vagabond.

I wish you felt what I just felt. You have no idea. I say that and you just feel

like this spirit just screeching like a stuck pig.

Some of you you love broke Jesus. You do. Don't dare anybody tell me he wasn't broke.

I like him broke because then he reminds me more of me. I'm sorry he wasn't.

You're going to get offended, but you're going to get set free.

All right, let me just let's go to John chapter 8 or Luke chapter 8. I could have said

John 8 · chapter mention Luke 8 · chapter mention

anything you would have gotten it. You're so good. Hester actually writes all my sermons for me.

Luke chapter 8. This is so important. We have to have the right view of God and His operations and

Luke 8 · chapter mention

Jesus. How else will we believe for it? Now it came to pass afterward that he went through every

city and village preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God and the 12 were with

Him and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities Mary called Magdalene

out of whom had come seven demons. You know again speaking about how religion messes us up and

traditional teaching. How many of you heard that Mary was a prostitute? But the scripture never

says that. They just assumed because she had seven demons. Maybe she was just at home scrolling all day.

Then she would have had 12 demons, not seven. Just letting you know there's some things we

believe you have to scripture silent on. She says seven. Only seven by today's standards.

Those are rookie numbers. And Joanna the wife of Husa Herod Stewart and Susanna and many others

who provided for him from their substance. So Jesus was a money magnet. I wish we had an organ

right now. Jesus was a money man. He was a magnet for money everywhere he went.

He couldn't help it. Husa was like, ah, I want to give you. Why? We just read why in

Deuteronomy 818 because it's part of the covenant. And God said, I will give you power to create wealth.

That is his way. You'll just draw it. That's his way. Now you said, no, not Jesus, especially Jesus.

Satan fears this because it costs money to build church buildings and fund orphanages and hire

staff and propagate the gospel. He loves Christians broke and harmless, but anointing is power in

the spirit and money is power in the natural. And when he's lost duty anointing, he wants to keep

you broke. Well, this ends 2025. Hallelujah. I see it so clearly. There is an anointing coming

up on city like church. There's going to be breakthrough. Hallelujah. I'll go through my 10

points here quickly. This isn't like the sermon 10 points. Just 10 points that show you that

Jesus wasn't broke. Yet you know how many people believe this. Number one, at his birth,

they brought him enough gold to support his family in Egypt. I want to show you how he was a

money magnet from when he was born to even after his death. Number one, he's like a little baby.

All right. They match. I are coming. How many of them? We don't know. They always show three.

It's three gifts. They didn't travel in groups of three. They traveled in groups of 300. You're

coming from India, the Far East. You come in a caravan. When they came in, all the herod and everybody

knew, hey, they're here. There's three dudes. No one would have noticed. When the whole caravan

comes in, oh, the whole city was in an uproar. They bring Jesus gifts. Gold, frankincense, and more.

All right. The more valuable of all those is gold. How much? We don't know. But I know how much it

wasn't. It wasn't like the old artist portray or even today. You get a hallmark card for Christmas.

And it's always about the size of a shoe box. They're magized there and he's opening up a little

shoe box thing and there's like this little stack of gold. We don't know how much it was but we

do know that his stepdad Joseph took Mary and his new virgin birth son and they fled to Egypt for

several years. How do you think they pay for that? Gold. So he can't even speak yet and the

annoying thing is working and magnet that thing in. Hallelujah. Number two, all right, it is a big

one. Well, you know, Jesus was homeless, right? Oh, and another verse they have memorized.

Jesus said, it's funny because you said they get excited. They get excited to fight you.

Don't rob me of my poverty. So one thing I have left.

Well, Jesus said the birds of the air have nests and the foxes have holes but the son of man is homeless

you know and has nowhere to lay his head. You read that in context. He was in Samaria. He was

talking to the Samaritans to the woman at the well who was a Samaritan. He just flat out said,

hey, I've come to the lost sheep of the house of Israel first. He was just passing through. So he

said, I'm just passing through in Samaria. But look at John chapter two and they said, where do you

live? He didn't say nowhere because I'm a bum. He said, come and see. Come and see. Amen.

Amen. Some of you are more frozen out because they said, bum and you missed the point of what I'm

saying, which is bummy behavior. Number three, we read that wealthy influential woman financially

provided for him. You never see Jesus ever go, you know, I'd like to do this but I can't because

we can't afford it. And that's what prosperity is. Say, what's prosperity? Prosperity is you having

more than enough. God's ways more than enough to fulfill your assignment from heaven.

Jesus had more than enough to fulfill his assignment from heaven. So number one, gold at birth.

He wasn't homeless. Three wealthy people gave to him from their substance. Four, Judas could steal

from the treasury and nobody noticed. You know that? Judas was in charge. If you read the

gospel, you'll know that. He was in charge of the money bag and he was stealing. Now if you have

five coins in a money bag and someone steals one, all the other 11 disciples are going to know,

huh, but if you have lots of, lots of coins and there's clinkage and jingle, jangle,

lage, galore, there's lots of coins and someone skims off the top. Nobody notices.

I don't know. This was a big deal to me when I stumbled upon it. I didn't hear this preach

anywhere. This list of 10. I was 20 something years old. I was in prayer. I sat down. The anointing

hitting me. I still have the list. The Lord spoke to my heart and said, I will show you how I was a

money magnet. One of the most, I wish I always got sermon. Topic matter like that.

And he led me through and I went boom, boom, boom. Lord, this is, it's right there in the word.

Always just drew it to himself. And I like saying Jesus was a money magnet because it just

irks the poverty spirit, you know. There's like, there's like a more sophisticated way of saying it.

I'm choosing the baser out. Hey, number five, he wore costly garments. How do we know that?

Because Roman soldiers gambled for his clothing. Why did they gamble for his clothing?

Someone said, someone once said, well, you know, it was a collector's item.

They were going to put it on eBay that night, signed autographed robes of the Messiah,

sell it at a huge premium. They didn't respect him. They thought he was a common criminal.

These were the same people just finished spitting on him and beating him, blindfolding him and

smacking him and saying, prophesied, son, a man, which one of us was it that hit you. There was

nothing but this name. And then they wanted to take his Armani. Six, he was such a money magnet

that when the IRS came and his tax bill was due, he said, Peter, go fishing. The first coin,

first fish you catch looking at his mouth, there's gold in the mouth, pay my taxes and yours.

That's how money magnet operates. Never stress, never worry.

Which one, which number are we on? Which point? Seven, six.

Hallelujah. I know what it's like to be in debt. I know the pain of it. I know the stress of it.

I had, I shared 16 credit cards over $20,000 of debt. It was nightmare. It was torturous.

I kept getting new cards and I would do the transfer, you know, robbing Peter, paying Paul,

get the 0% APR transfer until it isn't zero until it goes up to 29.9, which would make, you know,

Vinnie on the corner blush, because even the mafia doesn't charge interest rates like that,

but they will when you get your free six-month introductory period out of the way.

I love you, sweetie.

What God has done in our lives sometimes, when we share about it, it's difficult to share

sometimes because some people may misconstrued as bragging, as showing off. And it's not

that I care so much, I just don't want you to miss the message. I really, if you don't know

that I don't care what people think by now, you don't know me, but I just don't want you to

make, because some people you mention what God has done, people are so awful. No, I want you to

know that what I am preaching is that philosophical and I'm not in the place of still believing, but

I've experienced it. And I shouldn't have, just like in the natural, I shouldn't have, but I did

because he put his super over my natural. And he did that and I was open about it so that you know,

hey, God is no respecter of man and what he did for him, he'll do for me. And I believe with all

of my heart, he's doing it in our church. What you, first of all, what you preach about, you bring

about. And as we go on this journey for several weeks and actual anointing will cultivate, it'll

brew here where it'll just get on you and you'll start things popping into place in your life.

So I want to just, I want to just skip some of the details, got a house, huge mortgage, nearly

seven figure mortgage. I almost felt bad paying off the mortgage because it cost me 90 grand just

to get the mortgage, but I didn't feel bad. But for my, look, I just, I got this mortgage like eight

months ago. And of course, if you never bought a house, it's not just the interest they get

trying. It's the upfront closing car. They have, the more syllables are in the definition,

the more they're just stealing from you. Well, close it. We'll break down the closing cost. Okay,

all I see is the cost of me 90 grand to get this loan. That the Lord then supernaturally paid off

eight months later. Amen. Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait. So let me not, so I actually don't like it

with ministers. The Lord's supernatural, you're like, what, what are the details? It's always

like what? You know, did he send a dog with a paper bag full of $100 bills scratching on your

door at 3 a.m. Specifically, I bought call options and micro strategy, micro strategies, a

corporation that's the single biggest holder of Bitcoin moves in tandem with it, but I bought

far out call options in the middle of the bear market when everybody was saying Bitcoin is dead.

And you're not in like, you know, no, he knows. And do you smell lettuce? I smell. No,

they want exponential. Thank you. I'm not that smart. He did that. And then the first thing we did

was time. Then we gave offerings. Then we gave to other men, whoever God said give to, I would give

it. There were several times envelopes with 10,000 cash here. God said, boom, boom. Then I bought

a car for, wait, first, then I bought a car for my wife. And you know how wonderful, how

wonderful it is when you're not leasing. And it's not used. Also, Jesus went in on a cult

on which never man sat. That means he doesn't believe in previously owned.

God, I got her some things that I've always wanted to get her, but couldn't.

Like I once, and she never asks for anything. Ladies, that's, there's a lesson there.

But, but she doesn't get a certain sparkle. And there was some movie. And someone was, I didn't know

what a tennis bracelet was. I don't get it. And I saw the sparkle. I was like, you want one of those?

She said to you. So this was years ago. I looked it up and went, whoa. I mean, we can get you the

QVC version, you know. I can do four payments of 1995. But then the Lord does this. I get the tennis

bracelet. And then, but this is all going somewhere just to show you the goodness of God. And,

and no, God is. He's over the top. He is. You look at the miracles. All of them over the top.

You look at the miracles of provision. They're over the top. Why did Jesus make 120 to 150 gallons of

wine? That's enough for a small town and entire village times 10. He did it for one wedding. Why?

Because he's too much. He's too much. That's his heart.

So we did some more. Then, then, then, then he put him a heart to purchase another minister

a car, $100,000 for a Tesla. I'm not saying this to be cheesy or anything. But I just remember when

giving somebody 20 was a big deal. But when you're faithful in that, God will build you up and build

you up and build you up. And then, and I'm not kidding. I don't care. I love you, but I don't

care what you think. But if you believe me, you'll catch something. Then I felt the Lord tell me

to buy a certain car. Now, I'm driving a Toyota now. Very happy with it. I actually love it because

you don't care. Something on the 495 they called a Long Island swipe, you know, ever driven on the

L.I.E. But I felt I needed to get a statement car. And there's no other way to put this,

unless someone can help me with my vocabulary. I felt I'm not blaming God. I'll take all the

roof, but I felt he wanted me to get a car that made a statement of something you're not supposed

to have, like basically a middle finger. To Satan, to religion, to that whole system that says,

we like you broke, we like you harmless, ineffective, quiet, Christian, just know your place,

tucked away in a corner. So I bought a my back SUV. You got to, you got to see this thing.

It hasn't arrived yet. They're building it. You know about it. It bounces, but not like, you know,

in a California way. But it does bounce. Not I'm not going to be out there, you know.

But it does. And then the cup holders, they'll cool it. They'll warm it.

I'm a sash chair, not just for me, but for everyone, a fridge in the back. The rear seats are

the seats from a first-class passenger airplane. They come all the way out. Like my kids are going

to be horizontal in the back. The only thing, the only thing I said no to, I got it fully low,

the only thing I said to no to was the screens. No screens. Amen. Look how long it takes

something to high five. So this is so wonderful because I pay for it with holy money.

Money that's been tied down, money that's offerings have been given from it. I bought other people

cars. And it's not from the ministry. And still people will be upset. And that's okay.

Some people love poverty. By the way, if you don't like, just for no reason,

quote-unquote, wealthy people, that's a good way to stay broke. A lot of times people just,

I don't like women because they believe whatever they read.

There's evil wealthy people, very good Christian wealthy people, evil poor people, very good poor

people. Hallelujah. So God is doing that. And it's a sign and a wonder to us. And I feel funny

saying all this out loud, but it's actually preposterous. I'm funny how God works.

I'm preaching this, this place is packed, but it's like my laptop's resting on a $20 side table.

The paint is peeling off this. What looks like, this is the same color wood my public school in

Regal Park had. That chandelier in these seats are straight out of the 70s. And your God is doing

this to me personally. He's putting me in a place that's ahead. He's showing the church it's

going to come along. And he's doing this on full display because it's your part and your portion

too. And you must believe that and receive that. It's your part of abundance. Don't take my word

for it. Take it as the word of the Lord spoken from Moses who said, he will give you power,

anointing, creative ability for wealth. This is part of the covenant. Look at the life of Jesus

and see how he just attracted providence and provision and abundance to himself. What number

were we on? Six. Goldfish to pay taxes. Seven was actually the cult, the triumphant entry,

which we just look at Jesus and we think, oh, he wrote in on a donkey. No. He wrote in on a cult,

and he was the top 0.01 percent in doing that because nobody else could do that, only the very

wealthy. When he needed it, he didn't beg, he didn't plead. He said just lose the cult. If anyone

asks you say the master has need of it. What's that? What's that operation there? The anointing to

get wealth. The money magnet anointing. Eight. Looking at the life of Jesus. He got the upper room

where the last supper was. Did you know that's the same up a room in Acts chapter 2? How many

Acts 2 · chapter mention

did it fit in Acts chapter 2? 120. So that's a big room that he got for just him and his 12.

Acts 2 · chapter mention

I think it's hard to get good rental space in NYC in Jerusalem too during Passover. Not even

a much advanced notice the night before. Nine. He was such a money magnet that he was anointed with

a year's worth of wages. We skip over this part, but look at the nature of God. A woman came

broken alabaster box to perfume cost a year's worth of wages. Jesus didn't stop her. She poured

it over his feet. Judas right away. Oh look at this waste. That's what some people thought when

I told them about the new car. Oh the waste. What about the poor? What have you done for the poor?

I know what I've done for the poor. I've done a lot for the poor my whole life. Now I'm doing this

and guess what it's going to do? It's going to bring me to a higher place and I'll be able to do

even more for the poor. But Judas is always trying to tell you how you should spend your money.

Really what's behind it is jealousy and envy and a poverty spirit of smallness and lack.

By the way when somebody gets blessed by you that's an opportunity for you. God is watching you

rejoice. If you ever suffer from envy, jealousy, that emotion what you're really saying is oh God I

believe you're going to run out. So you gave to someone else now there's less for me.

And I know maybe that was how it was when you were growing up. Your brother got the bigger size of

cookie. He ate it all and now there's not enough for you because mom ran out. Well God isn't like

her. He's not like your dad who ran out. He has a limitless supply amen. Hallelujah.

And then ten he dies and is on his way to get buried where in the pottersfield where criminals

get buried a no name grave and Joseph of Arimathea jumps in and says no he's going to be buried in

a rich man's tomb. This is Jesus who you thought was poor because you believe the propaganda

that he was a homeless hippie who just slept in the dirt and you actually look at his life and

you'll see miracle provision following him all throughout at birth and then even after his death

regular people didn't get tombs. You know Christians never ask hey why was Jesus buried in the tomb?

Well they hated him they didn't respect him they were going to throw him in a hole in the in the dirt.

A tomb was somebody who had generational wealth. They bought a tomb not just for themselves but for

the children and the children's children and that's what was going to be that's where he was

buried all by himself. Joseph of Arimathea recognized who he was but that same anointing to

attract wealth into him was an operation. Hallelujah. Amen.

Lots more scriptures here but I feel like that's good.

Where's your team? Will you come up?

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.

Break small mindedness off of us. The blood of Jesus.

Lord help us get out of your way. Position us. Position us for your increase.

Hyperbolic increase. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I just feel like the Lord is saying

trust my times and seasons. Sometimes it'll seem only seem like he's taken forever.

Sometimes it'll seem like everything you're praying about is happening to the person next to you

and you're like Lord. You're not even jealous but you're like Lord you know what about me?

Just trust him. Ignore that noise. God will cause years to happen in weeks.

Some of you I see in the spirit right now laughing your heads off hugging your husband.

I sort of just saw my spirit laughing your head off.

And how God just came in and hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

It's coming off of you hindrances to the full blessing of God.

Ripped off of you in Jesus name. I hear the word of the Lord.

Extend your 10 pegs. You've made that 10 too small.

You made it for three. I'm stretching it out to fit a dozen. Extend your 10 pegs.

Break out to the north, the south, east and west.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah for God so loved. He's so loved the world that he gave. He's a lover and he's a

giver. What's your God like? Well, he's a lover and he's a giver. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Yeah, Lord, we open ourselves up to the year of the miraculous. A year of divine promotion.

Yes. I just heard the Lord say and I'm helping. Some of you you're afraid you're going to mess it up

because you know you. You know when he called you, he factored in your silliness. I'm so glad

that's true for me. He factored in my stupidity, my goofiness, my fact and said you know what I'm

going to make it happen anyway. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Thank you Jesus. Well, if you're really addicted to poverty, you're probably going to want to stay

away the next few weeks because I'm surfing this wave. I really believe with all my heart,

this is what the Lord wants because the future is bright. And I won't be held responsible

because I kept quiet or was afraid to speak God's truth. I didn't want someone to misinterpret me

where we're all going with the Lord. We're not going to miss out.

Hallelujah. Oh yeah, we should receive the tides and offerings too.

So give with a glad heart, the giving information is on either screen of me.

Thank you Jesus. You know what I'm going to read this scripture is the one from 2 Corinthians

in the amplified and then we'll close. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.

Thank you Jesus. Can you just put that? I believe that's the only scripture I got right today.

2 Corinthians chapter 9. This is Paul finishing off a 2 chapter long offering.

2 Corinthians 9 · chapter mention

Thank you Lord. I just challenge you to jump out of bed no matter how you're feeling every

morning and say, God, I thank you. This is my year. You're good. Your way is abundance,

your way is prosperity. You're working behind the scenes.

How many wonderful things in your life happened and you think back and you go, man,

if I didn't respond to that email, that wouldn't have happened. If I didn't go to that event and

shake those hand, that wouldn't have happened. God is going to have you. I'm going to make sure as

you yield to him and believe him, it's going to make sure you're in the right place at the right time

saying the right thing, executing the right move. Fear not. Remember this, he who so sparingly

and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly and he who so generously the blessing may

come to someone will also reap generously and with blessings. Let each one give as he has made

up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion.

And this is the part I want you to focus on. For God loves, he takes pleasure in,

prizes above others and is unwilling to abandon or do without. God is unwilling to abandon or to

do without a cheerful, joyous, prompt to do it giver whose heart is in his giving.

So God is unwilling to do without a joyous, prompt to do it giver whose heart is in his giving.

Do you know what the Greek word for joyful there is? Hilarious.

Forgive my Greek accent, it's more like Hilaria but it's where we get the word hilarious from.

So a joyous giver is a hilarious giver. When you give and your spirit is so filled with joy

that it's almost preposterous and hilarious to you, that's where I want you to be in your giving.

Hallelujah. You ready for a good week?

Amen.
