  1. Your identity and Christ make you worthy of everything God has promised, including your dream life.

  2. So when you see the devil coming attacking you or trying to introduce you to something that is not

  3. a dream life, you say, no, I resist you and I rebuke that in the name of Jesus.

  4. I'm going to have with the Father promised me that all the promise of God are what? Yes,

  5. amen in Christ Jesus. Welcome to the City Light Church podcast. Thanks for joining us today,

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

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

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

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

  10. remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by His grace,

  11. and that He has a real hope and a future for you.

  12. First of all, I want to thank Pastor Boyan for having me in. He's an amazing pastor, isn't he?

  13. Praise God. I told we've been friends for over 20 years. I told him I see his fatherhood in his

  14. children. Their laughter, their freedom, and their happiness tells me how great of a father he is.

  15. Now, so I said, oh, that's because of the mom. Yes, it is because of the mom,

  16. but even when the mom is good and the dad is a jerk, you're going to see it on the kid's face.

  17. So this dad is amazing. I know we celebrated the fathers last week. Thank God for all the fathers

  18. who are doing a great job. Amen. We honor you. Thank God for Pastor Moe and Pastor James.

  19. Amazing associate pastors. This guy right here is full of gregarious love. Amen.

  20. Soon as you come, you feel like, oh, man, I'm hugging the teddy bear heaven. Praise God. Hallelujah.

  21. No, I'm serious because he's so full of love and he's tall and he's big. It's an amazing thing

  22. to have a pastor like Pastor Moe in the midst of city like church. Amen. I was telling Pastor Sam,

  23. I said, this man is so full of words. I mean, his speech is like perfect. She said, I was thinking

  24. the same thing. I mean, the way he expresses himself is like, we need to do a course on how to express

  25. kingdom words. I told Pastor Boyer last time, I would say, he's so elegant, so great. He says,

  26. you're right. He's all of that. I love you, Pastor James. God bless you. Thank God for your

  27. expertise, your character, and your experience that you brought to this church. As bless this church

  28. to the ministry, you know, I want you to shout out to all the volunteers. Come on.

  29. Ministry of Helps. You're in the Bible. Paul talks about the Ministry of Helps.

  30. So you're in this, you're in the book. Amen. And you're blessed for what you're doing, you know,

  31. for this church. This is a great church. I talk about you all the time. You're going to full of

  32. excitement. You're growing. You're really one of the churches that we need in this city. And I thank

  33. God for you, amen. And thank God for having me and receiving me. And let's just get into the word

  34. of God again. We'll just stick with that message that I already started. Call about your dream life.

  35. How many of you have some dreams in your heart? How many of you have a dream you have for yourself

  36. and for your family? Amen. And if you don't have a dream, you need to start dreaming. Amen. So

  37. to imagine in your life as it could be, as it should be. Amen. Last year in July, I was waking

  38. up and I heard this word from the Lord. And the word was your dream life is around the corner.

  39. And with it came the feeling not to give up. And so when I encourage you, whatever your dreams are,

  40. whatever God is putting your heart, do not give up. You must be a person of perseverance. Amen.

  41. Hallelujah. Just like with your healing, you don't give up until you are fully healed until you

  42. get exactly what you want from Father God. Amen. We got too many Christians that give up too soon.

  43. You'll be like, no, I'm not giving up. Father, this is not working. Why is it not working? What should

  44. I do to make it work? What is the wisdom that I need? The Bible says, if any of you lacks wisdom,

  45. if some of us lack wisdom, we don't know what to do. Ask of God. And he will give you the wisdom.

  46. And the Bible actually says, ask of God who does not upgrade. You know what, upgrade means he's

  47. not going to seal you with abusive words. Or remember, you did this. Why should I give you wisdom?

  48. Remember, you did that. Why should I bless you? The Bible says, God is not like that.

  49. God is not going to bring up your past where you ask him about something. He's going to love you

  50. and he's going to bless you with what you ask him for. Amen. He wants you to have your dream life.

  51. Do you know that? The Bible says that God gives us the desires of our heart. The Bible says,

  52. feed on his faithfulness, trust in the Lord and he will bring it to pass. Praise God. Are you

  53. saying about that? Paul says, all things are working together for your good because you love God

  54. and you have the cold according to his purpose. Somebody say this with me. I am always in the right

  55. place at the right time experiencing the favor of God. Come on somebody. Somebody say, I am

  56. always in the right place at the right time experiencing the favor of God. That kind of

  57. confession will push you into your dream life. So I say, I'm ready for my dream life. I want it

  58. now. Praise God. Hallelujah. Is somebody, I think that you're problem in your knee back, back

  59. on your right leg. Just move your leg like that. Jesus is healing you. Amen. In your leg, praise God.

  60. Jesus loves healing people. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. Jesus, we praise you.

  61. So the first thing that I want to address is the fact that number one, if you're ready notes,

  62. but by the way, let me say this, the purpose of teaching is to give you beliefs or to strengthen the

  63. beliefs you already have. Those are the two purpose of teaching to give you beliefs, transmit

  64. something to you that that for you to believe or to strengthen what you already believe. Amen.

  65. So one of those two things are going to happen while you hear this message. Number one,

  66. you must believe that God is pro pleasure. I told the earlier service that God is about you

  67. having a good time. Hello, somebody. Do you believe that? Now, okay, I know it was into the

  68. spirit. You can switch it to laughter. It's okay. Yeah. Here's about you having a good time. He

  69. wants you to have a good time. He wants you to enjoy your life. Look at me at first Timothy.

  70. Chapter six, verse 17. And it says, command those who are rich in this present age, not to be

  71. horny. In other words, don't be conceited because you got money. No, it's a trust and uncertainty

  72. and riches. So if you have money, don't trust in it. Because that same Bitcoin that went up can go

  73. down. Hello, somebody. Those same stocks that made you a lot of money can be at a dollar overnight.

  74. In other words, thank you God for these investments. Thank you God for this money. But I trust you.

  75. Hallelujah. But in the living God, he's alive who gives us richly all things to enjoy. And

  76. that word richly means lavishly in the King James. And it means abundance. It means a lot.

  77. God's not just giving you, okay, here's just one little toy. Play with that.

  78. No, he gives you a lot. You know how sometimes parents complain about their children?

  79. You know, at Christmas, oh, we give them all these gifts and they just play with this toy for five minutes

  80. and they go to next toy five minutes. Anybody ever complain about that about your kids?

  81. You ever see your grandkids of kids do that? Guess what? It's okay.

  82. Oh, they don't, they don't, they don't appreciate nothing. No, no, no. That's the reason why we do it

  83. because we're acting like God. God gives us a lot. And if you play with this for five minutes,

  84. or you go to the next thing for five minutes, the next thing, it's okay because he gives us an abundance.

  85. There's no limit. Don't be bothered by that because there is no limit. Whenever you bother by that,

  86. you're putting a limit on your mind. God is unlimited. Do you understand that God is not concrete?

  87. He's not a physical Jesus became flesh, but God the Father is spirit unlimited. He's not a

  88. trillionaire. He's not a zillionaire. He is existence. Oh, my God. He is existence itself.

  89. When this may help somebody, when I was a young person, this spirit would come to me, think around the

  90. ages, because I was always very inquisitive. Very, I'm still out, but I was really inquisitive as a kid.

  91. Send his school, ask him all the questions. When I was in Catholic school, I asked the principal,

  92. sister, read, I remember, where did God come from? I'm 10 years old and fifth grade. And she

  93. gives me something. I don't remember, but it wasn't satisfying to me. But the spirit comes to me

  94. at age of 16. I'm in a shower and basically trying to tell me, this is all fake. It's not real.

  95. There's no God. And I'm just like going to a little panic attack and then I shake myself and I

  96. realize, okay, this is the devil. Okay, I'm here. So I must be real. But I always had this

  97. inquisitiveness of where did God come from. But this spirit would come. Sometimes I would be

  98. sleeping. I'll wake up. I'm in a panic. This is not real. This is all fake. And so I understand

  99. what atheists and agnostic go through is not just their thinking. It's a spirit that comes.

  100. But I am able to get rid of it. So this is going on for some time. And then one day,

  101. the Lord said, Maurice, let me give you an answer that's going to help you and you won't be bothered

  102. by that demon. I mean, you always cast it out. But I'm going to give you something that's going to

  103. going to help you. You don't have to wonder where I came from. I am existence. I never heard

  104. nobody tell me that. The Lord told me that. So when you, he says, there is no come from. I am come from.

  105. See, saying he's the beginning of the ending wasn't good enough for me. But when he said, I am

  106. existence. I got it. My soul. So the spirit doesn't even bother me no more. I can't bother him

  107. no more. He got it. Amen. Hallelujah. So I prayed, prayed, prayed God for revelation knowledge. Amen.

  108. But this God who's alive, who is existence wants to give you all things

  109. to enjoy every part of your life should be enjoying your food. You should be enjoying your house.

  110. You should be enjoying your spouse. You should be enjoying your children are for enjoyment,

  111. not just for responsibility. I'm raising a generation. Can I be real smart? I'm going to go to the best

  112. school. That's not why God gave you kids. So your kids can be NYU graduates and give you a

  113. smile on your face. And you tell your friends, my kid graduated from NYU. Did you enjoy your kids

  114. from the day they were born? Are you having fun with your kids? Are you having fun with your

  115. kids? You're not married. You can say, I got a man. I got a woman. No, you're there to enjoy

  116. them. So the way you enjoy them is not look at their imperfections and say, you're a gift from

  117. heaven. Let me have fun with you. Amen. Right? You have a happy marriage if you do that. One day,

  118. I was really frustrated with my church. I mean, it was going on for a minute. And we was having

  119. 21 days of prayer. And I was laying across my bed. This is many years ago. I'll never forget. I heard

  120. the voice of God. I mean, crystal clear. That's why I say crystal clear. And he said this,

  121. take your eyes off of human failure. And I was stunned by I heard his voice.

  122. In the middle of me praying, he said, take your eyes off of human failure. And I knew, oh,

  123. that's my answer. I mean, I haven't done it perfectly. But everything about your friend,

  124. would I tell you? And then the Lord has helped me over the years realizing,

  125. he said, your sheep is my people. Chill out. Enter into rest. You're just a servant and a son

  126. delivering a message. Passionate people. I'll give you the pastor. But it's not your strength.

  127. It's not your grace. It's not your calling. It's mine. So whenever I go for, hey,

  128. these AMI people, take care of your people, Lord. Deal with your saints. Deal with your sheep.

  129. They ain't mine. So much freedom. Amen. So what happens is I can enjoy the church more when I

  130. realize they ain't mine. It's humbling. But guess what? It gives you more grace.

  131. It gives you more grace to pastor and it's giving me more grace. The Amplifier says,

  132. who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for enjoyment. So God doesn't stop giving

  133. you good things to enjoy. You know, Ephesians, Ephesians, James chapter 1 verse 17 says, every good

    James 1:17

  134. and every perfect gift comes down. Comes down. You know, comes down means in the Greek, it means

  135. continually coming down like a waterfall. You ever see a waterfall stop? Keeps going from the

  136. father of lights and whom there's no veril, but there's neither shadow of turning. Otherwise,

  137. God's going to change his mind about the coming down of good and perfect gifts. The Bible says in

  138. the Old Testament, blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits. Daily, every day, give

  139. us this day our what? Oh, our what? Our what? Bread. The point of bread is to satisfy. Jesus wants you

  140. to live in daily satisfaction. Your vacation time should not be the time I'm living my dream life.

  141. No, your dream life should be every day your vacation time or they call it holiday in Europe. That

  142. should be part of your dream life, but your life should be miserable. I can't wait to go on vacation.

  143. 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

  144. and watch Netflix. No, no, every ounce of your day is meant to be filled with joy,

  145. filled with peace, filled with productivity, filled with happiness. Somebody say, I'm going to be happy

  146. no matter what. I'm going to leave my dream life no matter what. You know, the Holy Spirit is here to

  147. help you to live your dream life. Holy Spirit is not just here for fire and wind and healing

  148. miracles. You know, one time the Lord told me to tell my best friend this because the Lord said,

  149. this is what a lot of people think. They think the Holy Spirit is always there to correct you.

  150. So he said, tell him this and I tell my best friend, the Lord told me to tell you the Holy Spirit

  151. loves you. He was there to fire, the loves me, Jesus loves me, but you ever heard somebody say

  152. the Holy Spirit loves you? Some people think the Holy Spirit is tolerating you.

  153. I agree with him today. He's not happy. No, the Holy Spirit loves you. He is the spirit of the Father

  154. and of the Son. And he's here to guide you into what your dream life. Jesus said, when I leave,

  155. I'm sending you another comforter that word another means one of the same kind. He's the spirit of

  156. Christ. So you're the spirit of Jesus living inside of you, resting upon you, guiding you, helping

  157. you to live this wonderful life that God has for you. Amen. What did you say? The thief comes

  158. back to steal to kill him to destroy him. But I have come that you have what? Life and having what?

  159. More, more what? One of them says to the full. Somebody say, I will live the abundant life.

  160. All right. But you got to know that God is it's pro pleasure. So I gave the last service five

  161. proofs that God is pro pleasure. I'm going to give you these five. I'm going to do it fast.

  162. Number one, you have taste buds. You don't need taste buds to eat and be healthy. You can just have

  163. no taste buds. Anybody like during COVID, a lot of people lost their taste, but they were still eating.

  164. I've got to live. Let me get this green smoothie on. Let me get this spaghetti and meatballs on,

  165. but they can't taste anything. They can smell anything. Do you really? I didn't even add that. Do

  166. you know that your your taste buds and your smelling senses is all given to you from the father so that

  167. you can have pleasure. Even while you're eating, even when you're walking down the street,

  168. he wants you to smell beautiful things. It's not God's fault they were living a concrete jungle.

  169. He put us in a garden. We chose to have the concrete, but he wants you to smell it in the flowers

  170. and things with beautiful sense because he wants you to be pleased. We a lot of preaching about

  171. please God, please God, please God, but do you realize the father wants you to be pleased, please, please?

  172. Come on, somebody. Two, your sex drive. Hello. Your sex drive wasn't there to frustrate you

  173. and be the thing that keeps you in sin and keep you repenting. I'm sending. Now, if for marriage,

  174. and it's for you to enjoy your spouse, not just to procreate with your spouse, but to enjoy them

  175. because after the kids, is the sex game still going on? It should be because it's for pleasure,

  176. not just for procreation. Come on, somebody. There ain't no kids in here, are there? Well, maybe they are.

  177. I didn't say it's gonna last service. I'm gonna say this. Your orgasms are to come from the devil.

  178. It comes from Jesus. I was afraid to say it in the first place. I'm not afraid now.

  179. They come from Jesus. Yeah, we won't see Jesus. They think, oh, sex is the devil of the flood. No,

  180. no, no, it's God. The devil wants to take credit for it. He wants to create the point and all that stuff.

  181. Make a thing is, no, sex comes from heaven. Amen. Your body parts that you use for this activity

  182. came from Jesus. Yes, the Christ, the Son of the Living God, the Passover Lamb.

  183. Hello, you got to take that religious spirit off of the Jesus.

  184. What do you think speed and velocity came from all you science people? The Father, Jesus,

  185. He created speed. He wants you to have a speeding ticket. Yeah, go ahead. Now, I'm joking, I'm joking,

  186. I'm joking. He said, obey the law of the land. But they're corny. They're 25 miles per hour. Come on,

  187. 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.

  188. Now I see why people go to the country. You drive a lot of men. They love speed. It brings

  189. pleasure to them. God created that. That comes from the Father. Okay, I don't want to get no

  190. men in trouble that I see the passes out the speed. No, no, no, no. Father, Lord, the land.

  191. Three, the variety of food, spices and natural flavors that exist in the earth. All that comes

  192. from the Father. Four, music is proof that God is pro pleasure. How many people love music?

  193. Throw some of your favorite groups. Everybody scared again? Like the first group?

  194. We know you all wasn't always saying, go ahead, throw out your first groups. Pastor James said

  195. Michael Jackson. Yeah. Anybody else? You too. You too. Okay. Look, Craig,

  196. Cass and Crowns. Okay. Give me some secular people so we can really have a good Wu Tang.

  197. Anybody else? Usher. I said usher. Okay. All right. Come on.

  198. Cold play. Yes. Now I don't like all those other people, but listen.

  199. I don't like no Led Zeppelin. I don't like no you too.

  200. I'm black. So, you know, give me some R&B. Some, some, my brother's like hip hop.

  201. Huh? Earth when the fire. Come on. Yeah, they're good. They're good. Oh, everybody's happy for that. Okay.

  202. I brought that up for this because every culture has their music. See, Pastor Sam, she's Haitian.

  203. She went to a party yesterday that had Haitian music. I don't like Haitian music. Why?

  204. I ain't Haitian. I mean, it's not used to here, but I ain't buying Haitian music. I ain't playing

  205. it on my radio. I'm not Haitian. But every culture has their music that makes them happy,

  206. and God is pleased with that. Come on, somebody. Five comedy is proof. I mean, like comedy.

  207. Anybody like that new guy, Jokal? It isn't me Jokal? J-O-K-O-Y? That guy's hilarious.

  208. I'm like, uh-oh, Kevin Hart, he's about to take your throne, man. This guy, especially

  209. when he does all the Asian voices, Japanese. Oh, anybody saw that? Okay, no, never mind. Never mind.

  210. He mimicked all the different, because he's Asian himself, all the different Asian voices. It was

  211. super. Okay, never mind. Comedy, I like comedy. I don't watch comedy. Amen. It's good to lie. The

  212. Bible says laughter does good like what? Medicine. So if you want to be healthy and live a long time,

  213. learn to laugh. Amen. Look at your name. It's a neighbor learned to laugh. Everything's not that

  214. serious. Praise God. Including my sermons, not that serious. Praise God. Okay, my time is going. Let

  215. me go quick. Number two, you must believe your dream life has always been waiting for you.

  216. The Bible says that his divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.

  217. That's impeter. So everything that you want, everything that you desire, everything that you need

  218. has already been provided for you. When he created Adam and Eve, he didn't say, hey,

  219. what are we going to do with you guys? Get a plan and a purpose before he even created them.

  220. He created a word, the Bible says in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He created

  221. the planet and all the things in it for them before they were made. And then the Bible says he created

  222. a garden and put Adam in it. The garden represents your dream life. The Bible says he gave him,

  223. he created a garden of what? Eden. What is the word? Somebody just said it. What does the word

  224. Eden mean? Pleasure, delight. So we can prove from even the beginning of creation that God is what

  225. propleasure. He wanted them to live in freedom. Did you realize that there's only one commander

  226. God gave Adam and Eve? Not 10, not 20, not 100, not a thousand. How many? One. Don't eat

  227. of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But you above all the trees, you may freely eat.

  228. Part of your dream life is having freedom. If you feel that you don't have freedom, that you

  229. restricted, that you're nosy to the grindstone, you need to leave that job, leave that career, leave

  230. that life. Your life should be a life of what? Freedom. I don't mean irresponsibility, but freedom.

  231. When you wake up, you should be like, praise the Lord, another day, to prosper and be productive.

  232. There's no blue Mondays in heaven. Oh my God, it's Monday. Time to make the donuts.

  233. Now that's not God. God wants you to jump up and say, woo, I'm going to have a amazing day.

  234. I'm about to make some money. I'm about to eat some good food. I'm about to pray for somebody.

  235. I'm about to get a healed. I'm about to see a life change. I'm going to be smiling all day long.

  236. I don't care what's going in this world. Amen. Hallelujah. This is what it means to be sanctified,

  237. not long dresses and a dolly over your head and white ruffled shirts. I'm sanctified.

  238. You know, sanctified means separated from the world. When the world is down, you are up.

  239. When the world is sad, you are smiling. When the world is depressed, you're rejoicing and singing praise

  240. to God because He gives what? Beauty for ashes and a spirit of praise for the spirit of heaviness,

  241. right? Come on somebody. So your dream life has already been established. This is what it says.

  242. It says in Genesis 2.89, the Lord got planted a garden,

  243. Evelyn eating, and there he put the man whom he had formed, and out of the ground, the Lord

  244. God made every tree grow that is what? Pleasant to the sight and good for food.

  245. And I said in a lot of service, if it's not pleasant and good, it's not God.

  246. Everything in your life should be measured by pleasant and good.

  247. Am I supposed to be pleasant and good? Well, you're in a covenant. You can't leave them.

  248. You got to pray that it becomes pleasant and good. But everything in your life is not pleasant

  249. and good. Get rid of it. Everything. You know, I made a smoothie yesterday, you know,

  250. being greedy, I made a smoothie, added some spinach to make you feel like it's going to be healthy,

  251. you know? And I was like, and I added extra banana. I said, this isn't taste good.

  252. Now the old school me, because you know how we've been raised, you make it, you finish it.

  253. That philosophy is long gone. I recently have really started saying, if I don't like something,

  254. I don't care if I just made it, it goes into garbage. And everybody knows it goes to the restaurant

  255. with me. I said, do you like what you're eating? They're like, yeah, yeah, but I don't really like it.

  256. Go get something else. No, no, I can't do that because that's how we've been trained. I can't make

  257. a switch. No, when Jesus fed the five thousand, but I said, they ate as much as they wanted.

  258. And so am I like, so you know what I did with that green smoothie? I ate it and I was praying

  259. for you guys today. And I was like, nah, I don't like this crap. I do that thing right in the sink.

  260. It's not good. It's not pleasant to my mouth. Bye bye.

  261. Now that's a small something that's really silly, but that's what you do with everything in your

  262. life. I have clothes. I had just, I'm going to lie. One of my members, their daughter, I was

  263. wearing a shirt. It's a nice shirt. Pastor Sam said it was nice. Other people said it was nice.

  264. They were like, yo, it's a nice shirt. This little teenage girl said, that looks like a

  265. dad shirt. You know what a dad shirt is, right? You're like a old, say that, tell us something,

  266. my grandfather would wear. I said, okay, this is going in the garbage. I tell them to

  267. young for those comments. She's even your jeans. My grandfather with jeans like that. I said, what?

  268. That was savage. So you know that shirt and a whole bunch of other shirts and I just bought

  269. them. We're right into Salvation Army. Bye bye. I'm not hearing that comment about dad shirt, okay?

  270. But if it's not good, if it's not pleasant, get rid of it. Amen.

  271. Three, you must believe you deserve it. There's a book out called You Deserved by a doctor,

  272. a psychologist in New York City, and he said he did a lot of research and did a lot of counseling.

  273. He's counseled, the rich, poor, all these people, and people he noticed that struggled to get to

  274. their next or a certain goal. He was trying to figure out what is it? What is the common denominator,

  275. the denominator of all the people that I've counseled, all the people that said in my chair,

  276. and he discovered the feeling of worthiness. Those who are making it, felt worthy, and those who

  277. weren't making it felt unworthy. If you want to have your dream life, your dream job, your dream

  278. husband, your dream wife, if you receive your healing, you have to believe that you deserve it.

  279. We don't have time to go to it, but Jesus, in Luke 13, talked about the woman who's bowed over.

  280. Remember her? 18 years bowed over, and the religious leaders would get mad because you're healing on

  281. the Sabbath day. He's like, hypocrite. He didn't say hypocrite. He screamed it out.

  282. Hypocrite! You want to take your animal to get some water on the Sabbath, but the woman can't

  283. be healed. He says, think of it. She's been bound by Satan, not God, Satan, low these 18 years.

  284. Look, think about it. 18 years. He said, she ought to be healed seeing that she's a daughter of Abraham.

  285. Your sonship in Christ makes you worthy of anything you want. He said, her healing, she deserves

  286. 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

  287. the daughter of Abraham. Her identity made her worthy. Your identity in Christ as sons and daughters

  288. of Abraham make you worthy of everything God has promised, including your dream life.

  289. So when you see the devil coming attacking you or trying to introduce you to something that is

  290. not a dream life, you say, no, I resist you and I rebuke that in the name of Jesus.

  291. I'm going to have with the father promise me, the father says, all the promise of God are what?

  292. Yes and amen in Christ Jesus. Paul said, I didn't come preaching, yes and no,

  293. like some preachers do. Oh, yeah, yeah, God will hear you, but no, in this case, no, no, no.

  294. No, there's no yes and no one God is yes, yes, yes, yes. Amen.

  295. Hello, somebody. Hello, somebody. Get excited about your future. Get excited about your life.

  296. You're going to have an amazing life in the name of Jesus and by the spread of all God.

  297. But you have to believe that you deserve it. So I say, I deserve it. Look at them and say,

  298. name, but you deserve it. You deserve. But George, George, George, my brother wrote a book called,

  299. by the dress and eat the cookie. And it was about woman. How are they? I can't buy that.

  300. I'm on a budget. Stop with the budget. Budget ain't in the Bible. I know you, Dave Ramsey,

  301. people on the budget. I got you. Praise God. And you should. But I like something.

  302. Tony Roberts says, he says, I'd rather use the word spending plan. It's more positive.

  303. Budget is more like, uh, spending plan is like, okay, this is what you do.

  304. But the reality is, don't let your budget or your spending plan limit your thinking.

  305. Dream big. Dream large and say, God, can you fulfill my dreams? Yes, he can.

  306. Can you bring it to pass? Yes, I can. I said, feed on his faithfulness. Not feed on your salary.

  307. God is faithful. He can bring new income flows to you. He can bring new people into your life.

  308. He can really bless you big time. My sister just recently applied for a new job.

  309. She left her old one. She was really doing great there, but she's playing. And before,

  310. she went to different interviews, different people wanted her, but she gave this position as a

  311. director. And her former assistant and her last job said, I had a dream about you.

  312. I saw that you got the job at this school. And I saw you in black. I saw you're here.

  313. And our here was the way that she described it. And she said, I saw that you were very happy.

  314. She says, well, they haven't called me yet. She says, well, that's what I dreamed.

  315. 45 minutes later, the school caller said, uh, we would like you to take the position.

  316. Glory to God. She got something that's going to make her happy, working in the environment

  317. because the last environment wasn't good, causing her stress, but this is going to make her happy.

  318. That is God's will for you, amen? Praise God. The last point, and it's it, and I'm done, is

  319. you must claim what is yours. And I told the, um, right, write this down, because I don't have time

  320. to read it. Numbers 27 to 1 to 11. This is about Zilofa dad's daughters. Um, and so they're giving

  321. out land to all the men and doda doda, all the narratives. And the daughters said, well, I'll

  322. die. You know, he died. And um, he has no sons. So that land ain't going nobody else. It's going

  323. to us. Now, what's interesting is they came before Moses. Now, Moses is a great prophet, great

  324. deliverer who were you females, especially in that culture, to walk up to Moses and tell him what

  325. you, what, what, what belongs to you? But they were bold and Moses humbly enough to hear their

  326. requests. And he went to the Lord. And the Lord said to Moses, read it. He said, what the daughters

  327. of Zilofa dad says is right. Give them that land, manufacture, make this an ordinance forever in

  328. Israel. If there's no sons, the land then heritans go straight to the daughters. Here's the point.

  329. They spoke up. They claimed what was theirs. Notice, like I said last service. God, the father

  330. didn't pinpoint, hey, girls, um, they're about to take your land. You need to go and get that.

  331. They swore for themselves. It was something that belonged to them and they went and claimed it

  332. and God backed them up. And I said, it reminds me of what Jesus said, whatever you bind on earth,

  333. should be bound in heaven, whatever you want, loose on earth, should be what? Loose the heaven

  334. backs up your decision and your claim to fame. You want something, go get it. You want something,

  335. go get it. And heaven will back you up. Amen. Aren't you excited about that? So I said, I can have

  336. my dream life. It's not impossible. All the good things I see other people have, I'm worthy of it.

  337. And I lay claim to it. Amen. I told this story. I told this and then I'm done. I was at this

  338. Jamaican restaurant, the grocery street from my complex called The Door. And many, many years ago,

  339. this family was sitting there with their little boy and they brought, you know, the appetizers and

  340. I think it was like some cornbread or whatever they had. And I remember him jumping up because I was

  341. looking at him from from a distance. And he jumped up and he said and he put his hand on the table

  342. and said, hey, that's mine. And God burned that memory in my mind. And the Lord showed me that's

  343. how my children should be with what I lay out for them on the table. Hey, that's mine.

  344. So once you shut it right now, hey, that's mine. Think of something you want. Just think of it right

  345. now. Now say, hey, that's mine. See, so grabbing that luxury car. Grabbing that car and

  346. throw that pin house. Hello, somebody that good looking husband, that good looking wife. Those

  347. kids you want say, hey, that's mine. In Jesus name. Amen. Glory to God. Praise God.

  348. I want to do one thing I didn't do in the last service. I just want to give an alter call.

  349. If you're here, by the way, anybody experienced more healing that I have prayed for that that

  350. didn't stand before just raise your hand. If you felt something happened to your body that I

  351. prayed for, praise God. All right. So if you're here in this place and you don't know Jesus, you've

  352. not been born again by your heads and say, Pastor Maurice, I want the dream life, but I don't want to

  353. go to hell. I want to go to heaven. I want to be born again. I want to receive the forgiveness of

  354. sins. And I want to receive this abundant life that Jesus has for me. I want him.

  355. And Jesus says, I'm here. I'm here to forgive you. I'm here to cleanse you. I died for you.

  356. I don't want religion, but I want Jesus. If that's you, you've never been born again. You never

  357. confessed to me as your savior. Raise your hand high. I'm going to pray with you to be saved.

  358. Raise your hand high. Anybody in the place. Pastor Maurice, that's me. I want to be saved.

  359. I want to be born again. I want to receive the forgiveness of sins. If that's you, raise your hand

  360. high. Pastor Maurice, that's me. High. So I can see it. Praise God. Now, I ask you to join the church

  361. where offering salvation to you. If that's you, raise your hand. Praise God. Okay. We're all

  362. family here. Praise God. Amen. Well, God bless you. I mean, I was going to win this church, my church.
