Transcript
-
Your identity and Christ make you worthy of everything God has promised, including your dream life.
-
So when you see the devil coming attacking you or trying to introduce you to something that is not
-
a dream life, you say, no, I resist you and I rebuke that in the name of Jesus.
-
I'm going to have with the Father promised me that all the promise of God are what? Yes,
-
amen in Christ Jesus. 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.
-
If you want to connect with City Light 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.
-
First of all, I want to thank Pastor Boyan for having me in. He's an amazing pastor, isn't he?
-
Praise God. I told we've been friends for over 20 years. I told him I see his fatherhood in his
-
children. Their laughter, their freedom, and their happiness tells me how great of a father he is.
-
Now, so I said, oh, that's because of the mom. Yes, it is because of the mom,
-
but even when the mom is good and the dad is a jerk, you're going to see it on the kid's face.
-
So this dad is amazing. I know we celebrated the fathers last week. Thank God for all the fathers
-
who are doing a great job. Amen. We honor you. Thank God for Pastor Moe and Pastor James.
-
Amazing associate pastors. This guy right here is full of gregarious love. Amen.
-
Soon as you come, you feel like, oh, man, I'm hugging the teddy bear heaven. Praise God. Hallelujah.
-
No, I'm serious because he's so full of love and he's tall and he's big. It's an amazing thing
-
to have a pastor like Pastor Moe in the midst of city like church. Amen. I was telling Pastor Sam,
-
I said, this man is so full of words. I mean, his speech is like perfect. She said, I was thinking
-
the same thing. I mean, the way he expresses himself is like, we need to do a course on how to express
-
kingdom words. I told Pastor Boyer last time, I would say, he's so elegant, so great. He says,
-
you're right. He's all of that. I love you, Pastor James. God bless you. Thank God for your
-
expertise, your character, and your experience that you brought to this church. As bless this church
-
to the ministry, you know, I want you to shout out to all the volunteers. Come on.
-
Ministry of Helps. You're in the Bible. Paul talks about the Ministry of Helps.
-
So you're in this, you're in the book. Amen. And you're blessed for what you're doing, you know,
-
for this church. This is a great church. I talk about you all the time. You're going to full of
-
excitement. You're growing. You're really one of the churches that we need in this city. And I thank
-
God for you, amen. And thank God for having me and receiving me. And let's just get into the word
-
of God again. We'll just stick with that message that I already started. Call about your dream life.
-
How many of you have some dreams in your heart? How many of you have a dream you have for yourself
-
and for your family? Amen. And if you don't have a dream, you need to start dreaming. Amen. So
-
to imagine in your life as it could be, as it should be. Amen. Last year in July, I was waking
-
up and I heard this word from the Lord. And the word was your dream life is around the corner.
-
And with it came the feeling not to give up. And so when I encourage you, whatever your dreams are,
-
whatever God is putting your heart, do not give up. You must be a person of perseverance. Amen.
-
Hallelujah. Just like with your healing, you don't give up until you are fully healed until you
-
get exactly what you want from Father God. Amen. We got too many Christians that give up too soon.
-
You'll be like, no, I'm not giving up. Father, this is not working. Why is it not working? What should
-
I do to make it work? What is the wisdom that I need? The Bible says, if any of you lacks wisdom,
-
if some of us lack wisdom, we don't know what to do. Ask of God. And he will give you the wisdom.
-
And the Bible actually says, ask of God who does not upgrade. You know what, upgrade means he's
-
not going to seal you with abusive words. Or remember, you did this. Why should I give you wisdom?
-
Remember, you did that. Why should I bless you? The Bible says, God is not like that.
-
God is not going to bring up your past where you ask him about something. He's going to love you
-
and he's going to bless you with what you ask him for. Amen. He wants you to have your dream life.
-
Do you know that? The Bible says that God gives us the desires of our heart. The Bible says,
-
feed on his faithfulness, trust in the Lord and he will bring it to pass. Praise God. Are you
-
saying about that? Paul says, all things are working together for your good because you love God
-
and you have the cold according to his purpose. Somebody say this with me. I am always in the right
-
place at the right time experiencing the favor of God. Come on somebody. Somebody say, I am
-
always in the right place at the right time experiencing the favor of God. That kind of
-
confession will push you into your dream life. So I say, I'm ready for my dream life. I want it
-
now. Praise God. Hallelujah. Is somebody, I think that you're problem in your knee back, back
-
on your right leg. Just move your leg like that. Jesus is healing you. Amen. In your leg, praise God.
-
Jesus loves healing people. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. Jesus, we praise you.
-
So the first thing that I want to address is the fact that number one, if you're ready notes,
-
but by the way, let me say this, the purpose of teaching is to give you beliefs or to strengthen the
-
beliefs you already have. Those are the two purpose of teaching to give you beliefs, transmit
-
something to you that that for you to believe or to strengthen what you already believe. Amen.
-
So one of those two things are going to happen while you hear this message. Number one,
-
you must believe that God is pro pleasure. I told the earlier service that God is about you
-
having a good time. Hello, somebody. Do you believe that? Now, okay, I know it was into the
-
spirit. You can switch it to laughter. It's okay. Yeah. Here's about you having a good time. He
-
wants you to have a good time. He wants you to enjoy your life. Look at me at first Timothy.
-
Chapter six, verse 17. And it says, command those who are rich in this present age, not to be
-
horny. In other words, don't be conceited because you got money. No, it's a trust and uncertainty
-
and riches. So if you have money, don't trust in it. Because that same Bitcoin that went up can go
-
down. Hello, somebody. Those same stocks that made you a lot of money can be at a dollar overnight.
-
In other words, thank you God for these investments. Thank you God for this money. But I trust you.
-
Hallelujah. But in the living God, he's alive who gives us richly all things to enjoy. And
-
that word richly means lavishly in the King James. And it means abundance. It means a lot.
-
God's not just giving you, okay, here's just one little toy. Play with that.
-
No, he gives you a lot. You know how sometimes parents complain about their children?
-
You know, at Christmas, oh, we give them all these gifts and they just play with this toy for five minutes
-
and they go to next toy five minutes. Anybody ever complain about that about your kids?
-
You ever see your grandkids of kids do that? Guess what? It's okay.
-
Oh, they don't, they don't, they don't appreciate nothing. No, no, no. That's the reason why we do it
-
because we're acting like God. God gives us a lot. And if you play with this for five minutes,
-
or you go to the next thing for five minutes, the next thing, it's okay because he gives us an abundance.
-
There's no limit. Don't be bothered by that because there is no limit. Whenever you bother by that,
-
you're putting a limit on your mind. God is unlimited. Do you understand that God is not concrete?
-
He's not a physical Jesus became flesh, but God the Father is spirit unlimited. He's not a
-
trillionaire. He's not a zillionaire. He is existence. Oh, my God. He is existence itself.
-
When this may help somebody, when I was a young person, this spirit would come to me, think around the
-
ages, because I was always very inquisitive. Very, I'm still out, but I was really inquisitive as a kid.
-
Send his school, ask him all the questions. When I was in Catholic school, I asked the principal,
-
sister, read, I remember, where did God come from? I'm 10 years old and fifth grade. And she
-
gives me something. I don't remember, but it wasn't satisfying to me. But the spirit comes to me
-
at age of 16. I'm in a shower and basically trying to tell me, this is all fake. It's not real.
-
There's no God. And I'm just like going to a little panic attack and then I shake myself and I
-
realize, okay, this is the devil. Okay, I'm here. So I must be real. But I always had this
-
inquisitiveness of where did God come from. But this spirit would come. Sometimes I would be
-
sleeping. I'll wake up. I'm in a panic. This is not real. This is all fake. And so I understand
-
what atheists and agnostic go through is not just their thinking. It's a spirit that comes.
-
But I am able to get rid of it. So this is going on for some time. And then one day,
-
the Lord said, Maurice, let me give you an answer that's going to help you and you won't be bothered
-
by that demon. I mean, you always cast it out. But I'm going to give you something that's going to
-
going to help you. You don't have to wonder where I came from. I am existence. I never heard
-
nobody tell me that. The Lord told me that. So when you, he says, there is no come from. I am come from.
-
See, saying he's the beginning of the ending wasn't good enough for me. But when he said, I am
-
existence. I got it. My soul. So the spirit doesn't even bother me no more. I can't bother him
-
no more. He got it. Amen. Hallelujah. So I prayed, prayed, prayed God for revelation knowledge. Amen.
-
But this God who's alive, who is existence wants to give you all things
-
to enjoy every part of your life should be enjoying your food. You should be enjoying your house.
-
You should be enjoying your spouse. You should be enjoying your children are for enjoyment,
-
not just for responsibility. I'm raising a generation. Can I be real smart? I'm going to go to the best
-
school. That's not why God gave you kids. So your kids can be NYU graduates and give you a
-
smile on your face. And you tell your friends, my kid graduated from NYU. Did you enjoy your kids
-
from the day they were born? Are you having fun with your kids? Are you having fun with your
-
kids? You're not married. You can say, I got a man. I got a woman. No, you're there to enjoy
-
them. So the way you enjoy them is not look at their imperfections and say, you're a gift from
-
heaven. Let me have fun with you. Amen. Right? You have a happy marriage if you do that. One day,
-
I was really frustrated with my church. I mean, it was going on for a minute. And we was having
-
21 days of prayer. And I was laying across my bed. This is many years ago. I'll never forget. I heard
-
the voice of God. I mean, crystal clear. That's why I say crystal clear. And he said this,
-
take your eyes off of human failure. And I was stunned by I heard his voice.
-
In the middle of me praying, he said, take your eyes off of human failure. And I knew, oh,
-
that's my answer. I mean, I haven't done it perfectly. But everything about your friend,
-
would I tell you? And then the Lord has helped me over the years realizing,
-
he said, your sheep is my people. Chill out. Enter into rest. You're just a servant and a son
-
delivering a message. Passionate people. I'll give you the pastor. But it's not your strength.
-
It's not your grace. It's not your calling. It's mine. So whenever I go for, hey,
-
these AMI people, take care of your people, Lord. Deal with your saints. Deal with your sheep.
-
They ain't mine. So much freedom. Amen. So what happens is I can enjoy the church more when I
-
realize they ain't mine. It's humbling. But guess what? It gives you more grace.
-
It gives you more grace to pastor and it's giving me more grace. The Amplifier says,
-
who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for enjoyment. So God doesn't stop giving
-
you good things to enjoy. You know, Ephesians, Ephesians, James chapter 1 verse 17 says, every good
-
and every perfect gift comes down. Comes down. You know, comes down means in the Greek, it means
-
continually coming down like a waterfall. You ever see a waterfall stop? Keeps going from the
-
father of lights and whom there's no veril, but there's neither shadow of turning. Otherwise,
-
God's going to change his mind about the coming down of good and perfect gifts. The Bible says in
-
the Old Testament, blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits. Daily, every day, give
-
us this day our what? Oh, our what? Our what? Bread. The point of bread is to satisfy. Jesus wants you
-
to live in daily satisfaction. Your vacation time should not be the time I'm living my dream life.
-
No, your dream life should be every day your vacation time or they call it holiday in Europe. That
-
should be part of your dream life, but your life should be miserable. I can't wait to go on vacation.
-
That's what the father is going to be. Oh, I hate my job. I can't wait to go home and eat some dinner
-
and watch Netflix. No, no, every ounce of your day is meant to be filled with joy,
-
filled with peace, filled with productivity, filled with happiness. Somebody say, I'm going to be happy
-
no matter what. I'm going to leave my dream life no matter what. You know, the Holy Spirit is here to
-
help you to live your dream life. Holy Spirit is not just here for fire and wind and healing
-
miracles. You know, one time the Lord told me to tell my best friend this because the Lord said,
-
this is what a lot of people think. They think the Holy Spirit is always there to correct you.
-
So he said, tell him this and I tell my best friend, the Lord told me to tell you the Holy Spirit
-
loves you. He was there to fire, the loves me, Jesus loves me, but you ever heard somebody say
-
the Holy Spirit loves you? Some people think the Holy Spirit is tolerating you.
-
I agree with him today. He's not happy. No, the Holy Spirit loves you. He is the spirit of the Father
-
and of the Son. And he's here to guide you into what your dream life. Jesus said, when I leave,
-
I'm sending you another comforter that word another means one of the same kind. He's the spirit of
-
Christ. So you're the spirit of Jesus living inside of you, resting upon you, guiding you, helping
-
you to live this wonderful life that God has for you. Amen. What did you say? The thief comes
-
back to steal to kill him to destroy him. But I have come that you have what? Life and having what?
-
More, more what? One of them says to the full. Somebody say, I will live the abundant life.
-
All right. But you got to know that God is it's pro pleasure. So I gave the last service five
-
proofs that God is pro pleasure. I'm going to give you these five. I'm going to do it fast.
-
Number one, you have taste buds. You don't need taste buds to eat and be healthy. You can just have
-
no taste buds. Anybody like during COVID, a lot of people lost their taste, but they were still eating.
-
I've got to live. Let me get this green smoothie on. Let me get this spaghetti and meatballs on,
-
but they can't taste anything. They can smell anything. Do you really? I didn't even add that. Do
-
you know that your your taste buds and your smelling senses is all given to you from the father so that
-
you can have pleasure. Even while you're eating, even when you're walking down the street,
-
he wants you to smell beautiful things. It's not God's fault they were living a concrete jungle.
-
He put us in a garden. We chose to have the concrete, but he wants you to smell it in the flowers
-
and things with beautiful sense because he wants you to be pleased. We a lot of preaching about
-
please God, please God, please God, but do you realize the father wants you to be pleased, please, please?
-
Come on, somebody. Two, your sex drive. Hello. Your sex drive wasn't there to frustrate you
-
and be the thing that keeps you in sin and keep you repenting. I'm sending. Now, if for marriage,
-
and it's for you to enjoy your spouse, not just to procreate with your spouse, but to enjoy them
-
because after the kids, is the sex game still going on? It should be because it's for pleasure,
-
not just for procreation. Come on, somebody. There ain't no kids in here, are there? Well, maybe they are.
-
I didn't say it's gonna last service. I'm gonna say this. Your orgasms are to come from the devil.
-
It comes from Jesus. I was afraid to say it in the first place. I'm not afraid now.
-
They come from Jesus. Yeah, we won't see Jesus. They think, oh, sex is the devil of the flood. No,
-
no, no, it's God. The devil wants to take credit for it. He wants to create the point and all that stuff.
-
Make a thing is, no, sex comes from heaven. Amen. Your body parts that you use for this activity
-
came from Jesus. Yes, the Christ, the Son of the Living God, the Passover Lamb.
-
Hello, you got to take that religious spirit off of the Jesus.
-
What do you think speed and velocity came from all you science people? The Father, Jesus,
-
He created speed. He wants you to have a speeding ticket. Yeah, go ahead. Now, I'm joking, I'm joking,
-
I'm joking. He said, obey the law of the land. But they're corny. They're 25 miles per hour. Come on,
-
man. Come on. I'm in the oven. I'm like, my God, dry faster. I can't. It's 25. Oh, my God. The city.
-
Now I see why people go to the country. You drive a lot of men. They love speed. It brings
-
pleasure to them. God created that. That comes from the Father. Okay, I don't want to get no
-
men in trouble that I see the passes out the speed. No, no, no, no. Father, Lord, the land.
-
Three, the variety of food, spices and natural flavors that exist in the earth. All that comes
-
from the Father. Four, music is proof that God is pro pleasure. How many people love music?
-
Throw some of your favorite groups. Everybody scared again? Like the first group?
-
We know you all wasn't always saying, go ahead, throw out your first groups. Pastor James said
-
Michael Jackson. Yeah. Anybody else? You too. You too. Okay. Look, Craig,
-
Cass and Crowns. Okay. Give me some secular people so we can really have a good Wu Tang.
-
Anybody else? Usher. I said usher. Okay. All right. Come on.
-
Cold play. Yes. Now I don't like all those other people, but listen.
-
I don't like no Led Zeppelin. I don't like no you too.
-
I'm black. So, you know, give me some R&B. Some, some, my brother's like hip hop.
-
Huh? Earth when the fire. Come on. Yeah, they're good. They're good. Oh, everybody's happy for that. Okay.
-
I brought that up for this because every culture has their music. See, Pastor Sam, she's Haitian.
-
She went to a party yesterday that had Haitian music. I don't like Haitian music. Why?
-
I ain't Haitian. I mean, it's not used to here, but I ain't buying Haitian music. I ain't playing
-
it on my radio. I'm not Haitian. But every culture has their music that makes them happy,
-
and God is pleased with that. Come on, somebody. Five comedy is proof. I mean, like comedy.
-
Anybody like that new guy, Jokal? It isn't me Jokal? J-O-K-O-Y? That guy's hilarious.
-
I'm like, uh-oh, Kevin Hart, he's about to take your throne, man. This guy, especially
-
when he does all the Asian voices, Japanese. Oh, anybody saw that? Okay, no, never mind. Never mind.
-
He mimicked all the different, because he's Asian himself, all the different Asian voices. It was
-
super. Okay, never mind. Comedy, I like comedy. I don't watch comedy. Amen. It's good to lie. The
-
Bible says laughter does good like what? Medicine. So if you want to be healthy and live a long time,
-
learn to laugh. Amen. Look at your name. It's a neighbor learned to laugh. Everything's not that
-
serious. Praise God. Including my sermons, not that serious. Praise God. Okay, my time is going. Let
-
me go quick. Number two, you must believe your dream life has always been waiting for you.
-
The Bible says that his divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
-
That's impeter. So everything that you want, everything that you desire, everything that you need
-
has already been provided for you. When he created Adam and Eve, he didn't say, hey,
-
what are we going to do with you guys? Get a plan and a purpose before he even created them.
-
He created a word, the Bible says in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He created
-
the planet and all the things in it for them before they were made. And then the Bible says he created
-
a garden and put Adam in it. The garden represents your dream life. The Bible says he gave him,
-
he created a garden of what? Eden. What is the word? Somebody just said it. What does the word
-
Eden mean? Pleasure, delight. So we can prove from even the beginning of creation that God is what
-
propleasure. He wanted them to live in freedom. Did you realize that there's only one commander
-
God gave Adam and Eve? Not 10, not 20, not 100, not a thousand. How many? One. Don't eat
-
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But you above all the trees, you may freely eat.
-
Part of your dream life is having freedom. If you feel that you don't have freedom, that you
-
restricted, that you're nosy to the grindstone, you need to leave that job, leave that career, leave
-
that life. Your life should be a life of what? Freedom. I don't mean irresponsibility, but freedom.
-
When you wake up, you should be like, praise the Lord, another day, to prosper and be productive.
-
There's no blue Mondays in heaven. Oh my God, it's Monday. Time to make the donuts.
-
Now that's not God. God wants you to jump up and say, woo, I'm going to have a amazing day.
-
I'm about to make some money. I'm about to eat some good food. I'm about to pray for somebody.
-
I'm about to get a healed. I'm about to see a life change. I'm going to be smiling all day long.
-
I don't care what's going in this world. Amen. Hallelujah. This is what it means to be sanctified,
-
not long dresses and a dolly over your head and white ruffled shirts. I'm sanctified.
-
You know, sanctified means separated from the world. When the world is down, you are up.
-
When the world is sad, you are smiling. When the world is depressed, you're rejoicing and singing praise
-
to God because He gives what? Beauty for ashes and a spirit of praise for the spirit of heaviness,
-
right? Come on somebody. So your dream life has already been established. This is what it says.
-
It says in Genesis 2.89, the Lord got planted a garden,
-
Evelyn eating, and there he put the man whom he had formed, and out of the ground, the Lord
-
God made every tree grow that is what? Pleasant to the sight and good for food.
-
And I said in a lot of service, if it's not pleasant and good, it's not God.
-
Everything in your life should be measured by pleasant and good.
-
Am I supposed to be pleasant and good? Well, you're in a covenant. You can't leave them.
-
You got to pray that it becomes pleasant and good. But everything in your life is not pleasant
-
and good. Get rid of it. Everything. You know, I made a smoothie yesterday, you know,
-
being greedy, I made a smoothie, added some spinach to make you feel like it's going to be healthy,
-
you know? And I was like, and I added extra banana. I said, this isn't taste good.
-
Now the old school me, because you know how we've been raised, you make it, you finish it.
-
That philosophy is long gone. I recently have really started saying, if I don't like something,
-
I don't care if I just made it, it goes into garbage. And everybody knows it goes to the restaurant
-
with me. I said, do you like what you're eating? They're like, yeah, yeah, but I don't really like it.
-
Go get something else. No, no, I can't do that because that's how we've been trained. I can't make
-
a switch. No, when Jesus fed the five thousand, but I said, they ate as much as they wanted.
-
And so am I like, so you know what I did with that green smoothie? I ate it and I was praying
-
for you guys today. And I was like, nah, I don't like this crap. I do that thing right in the sink.
-
It's not good. It's not pleasant to my mouth. Bye bye.
-
Now that's a small something that's really silly, but that's what you do with everything in your
-
life. I have clothes. I had just, I'm going to lie. One of my members, their daughter, I was
-
wearing a shirt. It's a nice shirt. Pastor Sam said it was nice. Other people said it was nice.
-
They were like, yo, it's a nice shirt. This little teenage girl said, that looks like a
-
dad shirt. You know what a dad shirt is, right? You're like a old, say that, tell us something,
-
my grandfather would wear. I said, okay, this is going in the garbage. I tell them to
-
young for those comments. She's even your jeans. My grandfather with jeans like that. I said, what?
-
That was savage. So you know that shirt and a whole bunch of other shirts and I just bought
-
them. We're right into Salvation Army. Bye bye. I'm not hearing that comment about dad shirt, okay?
-
But if it's not good, if it's not pleasant, get rid of it. Amen.
-
Three, you must believe you deserve it. There's a book out called You Deserved by a doctor,
-
a psychologist in New York City, and he said he did a lot of research and did a lot of counseling.
-
He's counseled, the rich, poor, all these people, and people he noticed that struggled to get to
-
their next or a certain goal. He was trying to figure out what is it? What is the common denominator,
-
the denominator of all the people that I've counseled, all the people that said in my chair,
-
and he discovered the feeling of worthiness. Those who are making it, felt worthy, and those who
-
weren't making it felt unworthy. If you want to have your dream life, your dream job, your dream
-
husband, your dream wife, if you receive your healing, you have to believe that you deserve it.
-
We don't have time to go to it, but Jesus, in Luke 13, talked about the woman who's bowed over.
-
Remember her? 18 years bowed over, and the religious leaders would get mad because you're healing on
-
the Sabbath day. He's like, hypocrite. He didn't say hypocrite. He screamed it out.
-
Hypocrite! You want to take your animal to get some water on the Sabbath, but the woman can't
-
be healed. He says, think of it. She's been bound by Satan, not God, Satan, low these 18 years.
-
Look, think about it. 18 years. He said, she ought to be healed seeing that she's a daughter of Abraham.
-
Your sonship in Christ makes you worthy of anything you want. He said, her healing, she deserves
-
it, not because I'm the son of God, I'm here, I'm about to show my power. He said, no, because she's
-
the daughter of Abraham. Her identity made her worthy. Your identity in Christ as sons and daughters
-
of Abraham make you worthy of everything God has promised, including your dream life.
-
So when you see the devil coming attacking you or trying to introduce you to something that is
-
not a dream life, you say, no, I resist you and I rebuke that in the name of Jesus.
-
I'm going to have with the father promise me, the father says, all the promise of God are what?
-
Yes and amen in Christ Jesus. Paul said, I didn't come preaching, yes and no,
-
like some preachers do. Oh, yeah, yeah, God will hear you, but no, in this case, no, no, no.
-
No, there's no yes and no one God is yes, yes, yes, yes. Amen.
-
Hello, somebody. Hello, somebody. Get excited about your future. Get excited about your life.
-
You're going to have an amazing life in the name of Jesus and by the spread of all God.
-
But you have to believe that you deserve it. So I say, I deserve it. Look at them and say,
-
name, but you deserve it. You deserve. But George, George, George, my brother wrote a book called,
-
by the dress and eat the cookie. And it was about woman. How are they? I can't buy that.
-
I'm on a budget. Stop with the budget. Budget ain't in the Bible. I know you, Dave Ramsey,
-
people on the budget. I got you. Praise God. And you should. But I like something.
-
Tony Roberts says, he says, I'd rather use the word spending plan. It's more positive.
-
Budget is more like, uh, spending plan is like, okay, this is what you do.
-
But the reality is, don't let your budget or your spending plan limit your thinking.
-
Dream big. Dream large and say, God, can you fulfill my dreams? Yes, he can.
-
Can you bring it to pass? Yes, I can. I said, feed on his faithfulness. Not feed on your salary.
-
God is faithful. He can bring new income flows to you. He can bring new people into your life.
-
He can really bless you big time. My sister just recently applied for a new job.
-
She left her old one. She was really doing great there, but she's playing. And before,
-
she went to different interviews, different people wanted her, but she gave this position as a
-
director. And her former assistant and her last job said, I had a dream about you.
-
I saw that you got the job at this school. And I saw you in black. I saw you're here.
-
And our here was the way that she described it. And she said, I saw that you were very happy.
-
She says, well, they haven't called me yet. She says, well, that's what I dreamed.
-
45 minutes later, the school caller said, uh, we would like you to take the position.
-
Glory to God. She got something that's going to make her happy, working in the environment
-
because the last environment wasn't good, causing her stress, but this is going to make her happy.
-
That is God's will for you, amen? Praise God. The last point, and it's it, and I'm done, is
-
you must claim what is yours. And I told the, um, right, write this down, because I don't have time
-
to read it. Numbers 27 to 1 to 11. This is about Zilofa dad's daughters. Um, and so they're giving
-
out land to all the men and doda doda, all the narratives. And the daughters said, well, I'll
-
die. You know, he died. And um, he has no sons. So that land ain't going nobody else. It's going
-
to us. Now, what's interesting is they came before Moses. Now, Moses is a great prophet, great
-
deliverer who were you females, especially in that culture, to walk up to Moses and tell him what
-
you, what, what, what belongs to you? But they were bold and Moses humbly enough to hear their
-
requests. And he went to the Lord. And the Lord said to Moses, read it. He said, what the daughters
-
of Zilofa dad says is right. Give them that land, manufacture, make this an ordinance forever in
-
Israel. If there's no sons, the land then heritans go straight to the daughters. Here's the point.
-
They spoke up. They claimed what was theirs. Notice, like I said last service. God, the father
-
didn't pinpoint, hey, girls, um, they're about to take your land. You need to go and get that.
-
They swore for themselves. It was something that belonged to them and they went and claimed it
-
and God backed them up. And I said, it reminds me of what Jesus said, whatever you bind on earth,
-
should be bound in heaven, whatever you want, loose on earth, should be what? Loose the heaven
-
backs up your decision and your claim to fame. You want something, go get it. You want something,
-
go get it. And heaven will back you up. Amen. Aren't you excited about that? So I said, I can have
-
my dream life. It's not impossible. All the good things I see other people have, I'm worthy of it.
-
And I lay claim to it. Amen. I told this story. I told this and then I'm done. I was at this
-
Jamaican restaurant, the grocery street from my complex called The Door. And many, many years ago,
-
this family was sitting there with their little boy and they brought, you know, the appetizers and
-
I think it was like some cornbread or whatever they had. And I remember him jumping up because I was
-
looking at him from from a distance. And he jumped up and he said and he put his hand on the table
-
and said, hey, that's mine. And God burned that memory in my mind. And the Lord showed me that's
-
how my children should be with what I lay out for them on the table. Hey, that's mine.
-
So once you shut it right now, hey, that's mine. Think of something you want. Just think of it right
-
now. Now say, hey, that's mine. See, so grabbing that luxury car. Grabbing that car and
-
throw that pin house. Hello, somebody that good looking husband, that good looking wife. Those
-
kids you want say, hey, that's mine. In Jesus name. Amen. Glory to God. Praise God.
-
I want to do one thing I didn't do in the last service. I just want to give an alter call.
-
If you're here, by the way, anybody experienced more healing that I have prayed for that that
-
didn't stand before just raise your hand. If you felt something happened to your body that I
-
prayed for, praise God. All right. So if you're here in this place and you don't know Jesus, you've
-
not been born again by your heads and say, Pastor Maurice, I want the dream life, but I don't want to
-
go to hell. I want to go to heaven. I want to be born again. I want to receive the forgiveness of
-
sins. And I want to receive this abundant life that Jesus has for me. I want him.
-
And Jesus says, I'm here. I'm here to forgive you. I'm here to cleanse you. I died for you.
-
I don't want religion, but I want Jesus. If that's you, you've never been born again. You never
-
confessed to me as your savior. Raise your hand high. I'm going to pray with you to be saved.
-
Raise your hand high. Anybody in the place. Pastor Maurice, that's me. I want to be saved.
-
I want to be born again. I want to receive the forgiveness of sins. If that's you, raise your hand
-
high. Pastor Maurice, that's me. High. So I can see it. Praise God. Now, I ask you to join the church
-
where offering salvation to you. If that's you, raise your hand. Praise God. Okay. We're all
-
family here. Praise God. Amen. Well, God bless you. I mean, I was going to win this church, my church.
