OR WHAT? OKAY, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE READY FOR CHRISTMAS?

NO, WE STILL HAVE PRESENTS TO WRAP. OKAY. HOW MANY OF

YOU HAVE ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS WRAPPING DONE? NO, I DON'T.

WELL, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT. WE ARE. BUT YEAH, WE

WANTED TO ALSO GREET YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. ARE YOU

READY FOR CHRISTMAS? AND IF YOU'RE READY FOR CHRISTMAS,

PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS. IF YOU'RE NOT, THEN JUST SAY

I'M NOT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS BECAUSE

WE'RE PART OF A SHIFT CHANGE. AND I BELIEVE THAT.

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU KNOW, CHRISTMAS, BRENDA, WAS ONE OF

THE GREATEST TIMES IN HISTORY THAT THERE WAS A SHIFT AND A

CHANGE. AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CHRISTMAS IS PART OF

WHAT GOD IS DOING. THAT'S RIGHT, I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.

YEAH, HOW MANY OF YOU, YOU'RE JUST FINALLY PUTTING

YOUR TREE UP, ANYBODY? DECORATIONS UP? A COUPLE,

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THAT'S FINE, THAT'S OKAY. DO YOU

KEEP IT UP TILL FEBRUARY, OR WHEN DO YOU TAKE IT DOWN?

THAT'S GOOD. I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S THE LIGHT

OF THE WINTER, SO IT'S OKAY. SO LET US KNOW

ALSO, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, IF YOU'RE

JUST NOW PUTTING YOUR DECORATIONS UP, BUT MY

LADY IS AN AMAZING DECORATOR. SO, BRENDA. WHAT?

LET'S SHARE WITH THE WORLD YOUR DECORATIONS.

OH, YOU PUT THOSE OUT. I SURPRISED YOU. LOOK AT THIS.

LOOK AT HOW GOOD SHE DOES. THERE'S THE TREE.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT.

YEAH, LOOK AT MY TRAIN. SHE GOT ME A GINGERBREAD TRAIN.

BRENDA, LOOK AT, WE CELEBRATE YOU. LOOK AT HOW SHE SPOILS ME.

LOOK AT THAT. I LOVE DECORATING. IT'S MY HOBBY. SHE DOES A GREAT

JOB. KEEP GOING. LOOK AT THAT. DOESN'T SHE DO A GREAT JOB?

AND THAT'S EVERY MORNING I GET TO PICK OUT WHICH

COFFEE CUPS WE'RE GONNA HAVE. I KNOW. LOOK AT THAT.

THOSE NUTCRACKERS WERE A HOBBY LOBBY SALE. LOOK

AT HOW GOOD SHE DOES. I KNOW, WE HAVE A LOT OF STUFF IN STORAGE.

I'M SPOILED. SO HOPEFULLY-- YOU'RE SO SPOILED YOU GET

TO CARRY THE BOXES UP. AND IN THE COMMENTS,

LET PASTOR BRENDA KNOW HOW AWESOME SHE IS. I WANTED

TO SURPRISE YOU. IT'S FUN. THANK YOU. GOOD. I HOPE EVERYBODY

LIKES THAT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, LISTEN, I'VE GOT A CONTINUATION.

I THINK THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST OF THIS SERIES,

BUT WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF TALK MORE ABOUT LOVE.

THIS TIME WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HONOR, BUT WE'RE GOING

TO TALK ABOUT WALKING IN LOVE. AND IT REALLY IS.

LISTEN, IT KIND OF KICKED ME IN SOME AREAS.

YEAH. AND SO IT'S A BIG TOPIC. IT'S A GREAT TOPIC.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT REALLY LOVE AND HONOR

THE FOUNDATION OF REALLY WHAT OUR CHRISTIAN WALK IS.

SO LET SOMEBODY KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A FIRE MESSAGE.

NOW, I DO WANT TO SAY THIS. I USUALLY DON'T ADVERTISE FOR

PEOPLE, BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME TEMP WORK BEFORE

CHRISTMAS-- I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S LOOKING FOR TEMP WORK.

I DON'T KNOW. THERE IS A THERMOMETER FACTORY THAT I'D

LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT IS HIRING FOR SOME TEMP.

(LAUGHING)

I FOOLED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU ON THAT.

NO, YOU DID NOT. AND YOU KNOW I DID.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU COULDN'T GIVE ME AN HONORABLE MENTION.

YEAH, OK, THAT ONE TOOK US A MINUTE.

THE PUNCHLINE WAS AT THE BEGINNING, RIGHT?

OK, WE'RE GOOD. WE GOT IT. BUT WE DON'T NEED ANY

TEMP WORK. SO OUR FRIENDS FROM CANADA, WE'RE GOING TO

MOVE THIS SERVICE RIGHT ON TO THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF IT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO PULL THIS OUT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S WORSHIP.

I DO WANT TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT YOUR MESSAGE.

I DO BELIEVE IT'S SO TIMELY. HOW MANY OF YOU DID SEE THE

NEWS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT BROWNS UNIVERSITY?

AND YOU KNOW, THOSE FAMILIES ARE HURTING THIS CHRISTMAS.

BUT THIS IS WHAT OUR CULTURE NEEDS. OUR CULTURE NEEDS AN

INJECTION OF THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST. AND I WANT TO FOLLOW UP

REAL QUICK. AND THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS SEEKING THE

LORD, I SAID, "GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SHARE?"

'CAUSE NEXT SUNDAY IS OUR CHRISTMAS SERVICE.

AND I SAID, "LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SHARE?"

AND I JUST LISTENED FOR A WHILE AND I HEARD HIM SPEAK.

AND HE SAID TO ME, HE SAID, "I WANT YOU TO TALK

ABOUT HOW CHRISTMAS IS CONNECTED TO PRESERVATION."

AND I NEVER SAW IT LIKE THAT. AND SO HE STARTED

SHOWING ME THE DIFFERENT EXAMPLES THAT WE HAVE A

COVENANT WITH GOD OF PRESERVATION. YES, YES.

AND SO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS AND WE'RE

GONNA TALK ABOUT IT. I'M EXCITED. ALL RIGHT,

WELL, ARE YOU EXCITED TO BE IN THE LORD'S HOUSE?

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

IT MIGHT BE JUST A LITTLE BIT CHILLY OUTSIDE,

BUT I BELIEVE THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

IS GONNA TOUCH YOU IN THIS ROOM TODAY.

SO IF YOU'RE EXCITED, THROW THOSE HANDS UP TO HEAVEN.

COME ON, INTERNET. JOIN WITH US, SAY THESE WORDS.

SAY, LORD. TOUCH ME AFRESH WITH THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

MOVE IN THIS ROOM. TOUCH EVERY HEART, TOUCH EVERY MIND.

AND I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TODAY TO CHANGE ME, TEACH

ME, GROW ME, AND LORD, I PROMISE TODAY TO GIVE YOU,

ARE YOU READY? MY VERY BEST PRAISE. COME ON, LET'S SHOUT

LIKE WE BELIEVE THAT AND PRAISE THE LORD.

(MUSIC)

COME ON, GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE THIS MORNING.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

COME ON, GIVE HIM GLORY THIS MORNING.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

GLORY TO GOD. WE GIVE YOU GLORY, LORD.

WE GIVE YOU GLORY. GLORY AND HONOR.

ALL POWER AND DOMINION, ALL POWER AND DOMINION.

GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST. JESUS. COME ON, SAY THE

NAME JESUS. THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME. JESUS.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

WE WORSHIP YOU. COME ON ALL OVER THE WORLD, LET'S WORSHIP HIM.

YESHUA! JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! YOU ARE THE LORD!

WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU, JESUS. JESUS! JESUS,

WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE WORSHIP YOU, JESUS. JESUS, WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU.

AND WE DON'T JUST WORSHIP YOU, WE HONOR YOU. KING OF KINGS, THE

LORD OF ALL LORDS, GOD MOST HIGH, EMMANUEL, GOD YOU'RE WITH

US, GOD WHO IS FOR US, OUR TRIUMPHANT GOD, OH HOW WE HONOR

YOU AND HOW WE LOVE YOU. MASTER, SAVIOR, REDEEMER, SON OF THE

LIVING GOD. HOW WE HONOR YOU TODAY. THE CONQUEROR. THE

CONQUEROR. THE CONQUEROR. I FELT LIKE SOME OF YOU IN THIS ROOM

TODAY AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU'VE BEEN IN A BATTLE. WHERE

YOU FEEL LIKE THERE IS THINGS ALL AROUND YOU THAT ARE COMING

AGAINST YOU AND YOU FEEL THAT PRESSURE YOU FEEL THAT

OPPRESSION IF THAT'S YOU I WANT YOU TO COME AND JUST STAND DOWN

FRONT HERE I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU, BUT I WANT TO COME DOWN

WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU AND I'M GONNA INVITE SOME OF OUR PRAYER

TEAM ONCE THEY COME UP, I'M GONNA HAVE YOU COME AND YOU'RE

GONNA FIND SOMEBODY AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY. WE'RE GONNA PRAY

BOLD. COME ON IF YOU'RE IN SOME KIND OF BATTLE IF YOU'RE IN

SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED GOD TO SHOW UP TO DO TO BRING A VICTORY

INTO YOUR LIFE A BREAKTHROUGH WE'RE GONNA BELIEVE GOD TOGETHER

AMEN JUST LINE THEM UP IN A STRAIGHT LINE COME ON UP THOSE

OF YOU THAT'S YOU THAT ARE WATCHING I WANT YOU TO RAISE

YOUR RIGHT WELL YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND NOW BUT YOU KNOW PUT

ONE OF THOSE LITTLE SYMBOLS DOWN MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE

A HAND RAISED OR A HAND SO THAT YOU CAN SAY BY FAITH LORD I COME

INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE PRAYER THAT'S GOING TO BE PRAYED THAT

THINGS ARE GOING TO BEGIN TO SHIFT AND CHANGE HOW MANY

BELIEVE THAT WE'RE IN A SHIFT CHANGE? HOW MANY BELIEVE THAT

THAT'S WHERE GOD IS? HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. HE HASN'T

CHANGED HIS MIND. SO WE HAVE TO GET INTO AGREEMENT WITH GOD. YOU

KNOW, I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF READING IN THE BOOK OF PROVERBS,

AND YOU KNOW WHAT I FOUND OUT? THAT A LOT OF REASONS WHERE THE

ENEMY COMES IN TO OUR LIFE IS BECAUSE OF WHAT WE SPEAK. WHEN A

THOUGHT COMES, A CHALLENGE COMES, COME ON THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, THE ENEMY PUTS THOUGHTS IN OUR HEAD, AND THEN

WHAT HE TRIES TO GET US TO DO IS TO COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH

THOSE THOUGHTS OR WHATEVER THE CHALLENGE IS, 'CAUSE ONCE WE

START RELEASING IT OUT OF OUR MOUTHS, THEN IT GIVES ACCESS

EITHER TO GOD TO MOVE OR THE ENEMY. BOTH ENTITIES, GOD AND

THE ENEMY, OPERATE BY WORDS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE THAT A

CROP FAILURE IS GOING TO BE UPON ANY NEGATIVE WORD THAT HAS BEEN

SPOKEN. THAT THE ENEMY HAS NO ACCESS. AMEN? NOT FROM THIS

MOMENT FORWARD. NOW, WHAT I WANT TO DO IS I WANT SOME CHRISTIANS

TO COME AND STAND BEHIND HIM. JESUS SAID SOMETHING, WE'RE

GONNA TALK ABOUT LOVE, AND HE SAID, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ON

THE PRAYER TEAM ESPECIALLY, HE SAID, "THIS IS HOW THE WORLD IS

GONNA KNOW "THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, BY A DEMONSTRATION OF

LOVE." AND SOMETIMES THE CHRISTMAS SEASON CAN BE ONE OF

THE LONELIEST SEASONS THERE IS. AND SO WE WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW

THAT THEY'VE GOT SOMEBODY STANDING WITH THEM AND FOR THEM.

NOW I'M GONNA TAKE MY PHONE OUT FOR THOSE OF YOU AS THEY'RE

GATHERING. AND I WANNA DO THIS, I WANNA REMIND YOU ALSO, I

WANTED THIS TO BE A GOOD TIME. AS THEY'RE COMING, DON'T MISS

NEW YEAR'S EVE SERVICE. AND THAT'LL BE AT, WHAT TIME IS

THAT? 7 P.M. CENTRAL. AND YOU CAN FIGURE OUT IN YOUR TIME ZONE

WHERE THAT'S AT. WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR EVERYBODY. WE'RE GONNA

PRAY, WE'RE GONNA LAY HANDS ON EVERYBODY WHO WANTS PRAYER THAT

NIGHT. GOD IS GONNA SPEAK. IN FACT, YOU SAY, "WELL, HOW DO YOU

KNOW GOD'S GONNA SPEAK?" BECAUSE I WAS STANDING RIGHT OVER THERE

AND I HEARD THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SPEAK TO ME. AND IT CAME SO

LOUD, SO STRONG. AND HE SAID, "I WANT YOU TO PROPHESY THIS." AND

I SAID, "NOW?" HE SAID, "NO, THIS IS WHAT MY MESSAGE IS FOR

NEW YEAR'S EVE AND FOR THE SEASON." AND IT KNOCKED ME OFF

MY FEET WHEN I HEARD HIM SAY IT. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

BECAUSE GOD'S GOT SOMETHING ON HIS HEART. AND HE'S COME WITH A

VENGEANCE AGAINST THE ENEMY. AND I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

GOD ISN'T PLAYING. AMEN? ALRIGHT, ARE YOU READY? I WANT

US TO BEGIN. WE'RE GONNA JUST PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST FOR A

LITTLE BIT. COME ON. YEAH. THIS IS A CHURCH THAT PRAYS IN

TONGUES. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU BEGIN TO PRAY IN

TONGUES. FATHER, EVERY PERSON THAT IS IN THIS LINE, EVERY

PERSON IN PROXY ON THE PHONE, FATHER, IN THE SOUND OF MY

VOICE, WHEN WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE

SPIRIT OF GOD WILL GIVE US UNCTION, WILL GIVE US UTTERANCE

TO KNOW WHAT TO PRAY. FOR HE THAT PRAYS IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE

SPEAKS NOT UNTO MEN, BUT UNTO GOD. SO WE MAKE INTERCESSION FOR

EVERY PERSON NOW IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WE CRY OUT FOR THOSE IN THIS ROOM

AND THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WE MAKE INTERCESSION IN THE SPIRIT. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

FOR THEIR BREAKTHROUGH, FOR THEIR BREAKTHROUGH, FOR THEIR

BREAKTHROUGH, FOR THEIR BREAKTHROUGH, FOR THEIR

BREAKTHROUGH. IMMEDIATE MANIFESTATIONS IN THEIR BODIES,

IN THEIR HOMES, IN THEIR MARRIAGES, IN THEIR

FAMILY, IN THEIR CHILDREN, IN THEIR LIVES.

WE MAKE INTERCESSION IN THE SPIRIT.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WE COMMAND IT BREAKS. WE COMMAND IT BREAKS. WE COMMAND IT BREAKS

OFF OF THEM. EVERY DEMONIC ASSIGNMENT,

EVERY INCANTATION, EVERY DEMONIC SPIRIT.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WE RELEASE THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY GHOST THAT DESTROYS EVERY

YOKE, EVERY ASSIGNMENT, EVERY INCANTATION.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

THE ANOINTING NOT OF MY MIGHT, NOT OF MY POWER, BUT BY THE

SPIRIT OF GOD HIMSELF. BREAK, DESTROY, HOLY GHOST.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

EVERY YOKE, EVERY BURDEN, LET IT BE REMOVED, AS WE RELEASE...

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WE RELEASE THE VICTORY. WE RELEASE THAT ANOINTING.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

LET THERE BE PEACE. LET THERE BE PEACE. NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING

BROKEN. LET THERE BE A MANIFESTATION OF THE HEALING

POWER OF GOD THAT TOUCHES THEM. LET THERE BE A RELEASE OF JOY

UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY. LET THERE BE A RELEASE.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

A DIVINE SHIFT. A DIVINE SHIFT. A DIVINE SHIFT.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

FATHER, WE'RE CALLING OUT TO YOU IN THE SPIRIT.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

THAT THEY'RE FREE. FREE. FREE. FREE FROM SICKNESS. FREE

FROM A DIAGNOSIS. FREE FROM DISEASE. FREE FROM

INCANTATIONS. NOT THE POWER OF THE DEVIL. WE

TREAD UPON EVERY SERPENT. WE TREAD UPON EVERY SCORPION. WE

TREAD UPON EVERY INCANTATION. EVERY CURSE. EVERY SATANIC

CONTRACT. WE DESTROY IT BY THE FIRE. BY THE FIRE OF GOD.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

THE FIRE OF THE HOLY GHOST.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

THIS DAY, THIS DAY, THIS DAY, THIS DAY, IT MUST OBEY. THIS

DAY, IT MUST COME INTO MANIFESTATION. THE DIVINE SHIFT

OVER THEIR LIFE. MUST COME TODAY, MUST COME TODAY,

MUST COME NOW. MUST COME IN THIS NIGHT.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

MUST TODAY, MUST COME TODAY, MUST COME NOW.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

NOW FATHER, WE COMMISSION, WE ASSIGN THE ANGELS OF THE MOST

HIGH GOD. GO, GO, EXCELLENCE, STRENGTH, HOST. TEAR DOWN,

ANNIHILATE EVERY SATANIC ALTAR, PLOT, PLAN, STRATEGY AND SCHEME.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND BRING THE MANIFESTATION OF THEIR COVENANT

RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES. IT'S ENFORCED BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD

THAT STILL SPEAKS, THE BLOOD OF YESHUA. WE SAY FROM THIS MOMENT

FORWARD, TODAY, TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. TODAY IS THE DAY

THAT THEY SEE EVERY ONE OF THEIR SALVATION RIGHTS MANIFESTED

BECAUSE THE COVENANT HAS BEEN SEALED, RATIFIED THROUGH AND BY

YOUR BLOOD, YESHUA. THESE PEOPLE ARE BLESSED, HEALED, DELIVERED,

SET FREE, AND SET ON A NEW COURSE OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY

THAT THE ENEMY CANNOT TOUCH THEM. AND I DECREE IT NOW IN THE

NAME OF YESHUA. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU,

LORD. THANK YOU, LORD. SOME OF YOU NEED TO COME INTO AGREEMENT

WITH THAT AS WELL. I WANT YOU TO SAY IT, SAY, "LORD, I RECEIVE MY

BREAKTHROUGH." COME ON, BRENDA. AND SO THE SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD

SAY THAT EVEN NOW, I AM THE GOD OF NOT THE DISTANT FUTURE, OF

NOT THE GOD THAT DOES THINGS IN THE YEARS AHEAD, BUT I AM THE

GOD THAT WORKS EVEN IN THE NOW. SO BEGIN TO SEE ME AS THE GOD OF

RIGHT NOW, FOR IMMEDIATELY, STRAIGHTWAY, IN THIS MOMENT AND

IN THIS TIME, THE LORD SAYS EVEN IN THIS ROOM AND IN THIS

ATMOSPHERE, I AM SHIFTING SOME THINGS, IF YOU WILL SEE IT,

THROUGH THE EYE OF YOUR FAITH. FOR FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE.

FAITH WILL GIVE YOU THE ASSURANCE. SO THE LORD SAYS IT'S

NOT TIME TO FEAR, EITHER IN YOUR LIFE OR IN WHAT GOES ON IN THE

NATIONS OF THE EARTH, BUT IT IS A TIME NOW TO SEE WHAT I AM

DOING BEHIND THE SCENES. FOR I'M THE GOD THAT WORKS BEHIND THE

SCENES AND I DO THOSE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T ALWAYS SEE. FOR

WAS IT NOT WHEN I HAD TO OPEN THE EYES OF THE PROPHET'S

SERVANT TO SEE THERE WERE MORE THAT WERE FOR THEM THAN THOSE

THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE. FOR I AM THE GOD THAT COMMANDS THE

HOST, AND I AM COMMANDING THE HOST CONCERNING YOU, AND THAT

WHICH HAS TRIED TO COME AGAINST YOU. FOR THE HOSTS ARE AT WORK,

SO SAY NOT FROM YOUR LIPS, "THE MIRACLE IS IN THE FUTURE," BUT

SAY FROM YOUR LIPS, "THE MIRACLE IS RIGHT NOW." HALLELUJAH. COME

ON, SAY IT. SAY, "THE MIRACLE." THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

AROUND THE WORLD, SAY IT. "THE MIRACLE OVER MY LIFE IS NOW."

NOW. NOW. SHOUT NOW. NOW. AMEN. I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO SEE

SOME THINGS. WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME THINGS. IT'S GOING TO

CHANGE. WHEN I JUST LOOK AT YOU, GOD'S FAVORITE, LET ME TELL YOU

THIS, WITH YOUR SHIRT THERE, LET ME SAY THIS. I SEE LIKE A MAGNET

BEHIND YOU IN THE SPIRIT. IN OTHER WORDS, THINGS ARE TRYING

TO PULL ON YOU, PULL YOU AWAY, PULL YOU THROUGH INFLUENCES,

FRIENDSHIPS AND THINGS THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A

BREAK FROM. THIS IS THE SEASON NOW, MAKE THE BREAK. MAKE THE

BREAK. MAKE THE BREAK. YEAH, BUT I'M GONNA BE HURT. NO, IT'S

GONNA HURT YOU WORSE IF YOU DON'T MAKE THE BREAK. OKAY,

OKAY. YOU NEED TO DO IT. YOU'RE IN DECISION TIME. AND THAT

MAGNET IS NOT GOING TO PULL YOU IF YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR DECISION.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO WALK INTO A NEW FREEDOM. AND PART OF BEING

GOD'S FAVORITE IS DO WHAT HE SAYS. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE

GOING TO DO. BECAUSE YOUR HEART IS SO GOOD. AND THAT'S WHY

PEOPLE SOMETIMES AREN'T SO GOOD. BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF YOUR GOOD HEART. BUT IT'S CHANGING. BECAUSE YOU

CAME UP HERE AND MADE A DECISION. AND YOU'RE GOING TO

SEE THE FAVOR OF GOD. YOUR SHIRT IS GOING TO BEAR RECORD OF THIS

DAY. AMEN. IT'S GOOD. NOW, HERE'S WHAT I WANT BEFORE WE

MOVE ON. SO SOME OF YOU MAYBE ARE IN THIS LINE OR MAYBE YOU'RE

OUT THERE IN THE AUDIENCE OR YOU'RE WATCHING. YOU'RE LIKE,

DUDE, WHAT WAS THAT THAT YOU WERE DOING? WAS THAT CHINESE? I

DON'T KNOW. WAS THAT? I DON'T KNOW IF IT SOUNDED CHINESE OR

NOT. IT'S CALLED YOU HEARD THE STRENGTH OF A MAN'S SPIRIT. NOW

DRAWING ATTENTION TO THIS VESSEL, DRAWING ATTENTION TO

WHAT EVERY ONE OF US HAS. YOU HAVE A STRENGTH OF SPIRIT IN

YOU. AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN JUDE VERSE 20, THAT YOU BUILD

YOURSELF UP IN YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH. HOW DO YOU DO IT? BY

DOING WHAT I JUST DID, PRAYING IN TONGUES. AND YOU DON'T NEED

AN INTERPRETATION 'CAUSE IT WASN'T A MESSAGE FROM GOD. IF

THERE'S A MESSAGE FROM GOD, THEN ACCORDING TO 1 CORINTHIANS 14,

IT WOULD REQUIRE THEN AN INTERPRETATION. BUT IF IT'S

1 CORINTHIANS 14:3, WHERE YOU'RE SPEAKING TO GOD OR ROMANS 8,

1 Corinthians 14:3

AN INTERCESSION TO GOD IN TONGUES, YOU DON'T NEED AN

INTERPRETATION. BUT GOD WILL GIVE YOU MANY TIMES AN

UNDERSTANDING OR REVELATION OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE PRAYING.

I HEARD KEPT COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH. WHAT WAS IT? SOMETHING

ABOUT TODAY. HOW MANY HEARD THAT? IT KEPT COMING OUT IN MY

TONGUES. BECAUSE GOD WAS SAYING TODAY, YOU NEED TO EXPECT IT

TODAY, TODAY. BUT HERE'S THE THING I WANT TO KNOW. IF YOU'RE

IN THIS LINE, OR YOU'RE WATCHING IT, YOU'VE NEVER BEEN FILLED

WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

YOU CAN TODAY. AND I'M TELLING YOU, SINCE I GOT FILLED WITH THE

HOLY SPIRIT TWO WEEKS INTO MY SALVATION IN 1984, I HAVE NEVER

BEEN THE SAME. AND I PRAY IN TONGUES ALL THE TIME. THAT'S HOW

YOU GET STRONG. SO IF YOU'RE IN THIS LINE, AND YOU'RE LIKE, HEY

PREACHER, YOU KNOW WHAT? AND YOUR TONGUES WON'T SOUND LIKE

MINE, MINE WON'T SOUND LIKE YOURS. BUT IF YOU'RE HERE AND

YOU'RE LIKE, HEY MAN, I WANT TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

JESUS SAID IT. ACTS 1, HE SAID, YOU'LL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY

SPIRIT, YOU'LL RECEIVE POWER. THEN THE NEXT CHAPTER, ACTS 2,

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN THE DAY OF PENTECOST HAD COME, THEY WERE

GATHERED TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE AND SUDDENLY THERE CAME A SOUND

FROM HEAVEN. AND IT WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE WAS RUSHING. YOU KNOW

WHY HE WAS RUSHING? HE COULDN'T WAIT TO BE INSIDE OF MAN. HE HAD

BEEN GOD IN A BOX, GOD IN A TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS,

GOD IN SOLOMON'S TEMPLE. HE WANTED TO DWELL IN MAN LIKE HE

DID IN THE DAYS OF ADAM. SO IF YOU'D LIKE THAT TODAY, NOBODY'S

GONNA FORCE YOU. BUT I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND. COME ON.

THIS IS THE DAY OF BOLDNESS, RIGHT? WE'RE SEEING THAT IN OUR

CULTURE. YOU WANT TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. I'M GONNA

HAVE PASTOR BRENDA COME. SHE'S GREAT AT INSTRUCTING. RAISE YOUR

HAND. I THINK THERE'S AT LEAST TWO IN THIS LINE. I COULD FEEL

IT. TWO IN THIS LINE. YOU NEED TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY

SPIRIT. YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING IT OFF, YOU'D LIKE THAT. RAISE YOUR

HAND, JUST BE BOLD. OH, THERE'S ONE, GOD'S FAVORITE. YOU NEED TO

REALLY PUT ON YOUR SHIRT, GOD'S FAVORITE AFTER PASTOR HANK.

BECAUSE I THINK I MIGHT BE AHEAD OF YOU, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE

MEAN, I DON'T KNOW YOU, BUT I JUST WANT TO SET THE RECORD

STRAIGHT. ALRIGHT, SO THERE'S ONE. ANYBODY ELSE? CAN I GET

SOMEBODY TO GET BY HER THAT COULD PRAY? WHERE'S THE OTHER

PERSON? THERE'S ANOTHER ONE RIGHT THERE. HOW YOU DOING, MAN?

IS THAT AMERICAN FLAG? LOOK AT YOUR SWAG, MAN. WHAT'S THIS? HI,

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? OH MY, NICE TO MEET YOU. I LIKE YOUR SWEAT. ARE

WE THE SAME SIZE? I WEAR EM. YOU KNOW WHAT EM IS? EXTRA-MUSCULAR.

EXTRA-MUSCULAR. OKAY, THERE'S THE TWO, BUT IS THERE ANYBODY

ELSE IN THE LINE? I MEAN, IF THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON, THAT'S

OKAY. I FELT THERE WAS AT LEAST TWO, GOD'S FAVORITE AND GOD'S

AMERICAN FLAG MAN. YOU WEAR THAT REALLY GOOD. YOU ALMOST COULD

MODEL THAT OR SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW. WE HAVE THE SAME

BUILD, I NOTICED THAT. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM? OH, ONLINE. ONLINE, THAT'S

WHAT I FIGURED, ONLINE. BRENDA, WHERE DID YOU GET ME? IT'S

ONLINE. ONLINE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, PASTOR BRENDA, GO FOR IT. AND

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING RIGHT

THERE. YES, ABSOLUTELY. WELL, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE AND

ANYBODY ELSE THAT WANTS TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE

MOST IMPORTANT THING IS KNOW SO THAT YOU HAVE THE CONFIDENCE

THAT YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. SO I WANT YOU TO PRAY THIS PRAYER

OUT LOUD, AND EVERYBODY WILL PRAY IT WITH YOU AND YOU ONLINE.

SAY THIS, SAY, "HEAVENLY FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT JESUS DIED FOR

ME, AND I INVITE HIM IN MY HEART. LORD, FORGIVE ME OF ALL

MY SINS. THE PAST IS OVER TODAY, AND I COMMIT MY LIFE TO YOU IN A

FRESH WAY. JESUS, I MAKE YOU THE LORD ON THE THRONE OF MY HEART.

AND I THANK YOU NOW THE PROMISE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BELONGS TO

ME. HOLY SPIRIT, FILL ME, BAPTIZE ME, AND I EXPECT TO

SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES, JUST LIKE THEY DID IN THE BOOK OF

ACTS. NOW I WANT YOU TO BEGIN TO MOVE YOUR MOUTH. DON'T SAY

ANYTHING IN YOUR NATURAL LANGUAGE. JUST BEGIN TO OPEN

YOUR MOUTH. YOU CAN'T PRAY IN TONGUES WITH

YOUR MOUTH CLOSED. SO ALL OF YOU HERE AND

ONLINE, LET'S BEGIN TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT.

STAMMERING LIP, GOD WILL SPEAK TO HIS PEOPLE.

SOME OF YOU NEED A REFRESHING OF THE BAPTISM

OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I ENCOURAGE YOU, COME ON.

ENVIRONMENT LIKE THIS. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU, PRAY OFTEN IN THE

HOLY SPIRIT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THE MORE YOU DO IT, THE MORE

PROFICIENT YOU'LL BECOME. AMEN? ALL RIGHT, GIVE THEM ONE MORE

THIS WEEK? ARE YOU DISTRIBUTING? BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS USE THESE

THINGS, RIGHT? SO THEY'RE DOING A SPECIAL DIAPER DRIVE TO HELP,

AND THERE'S A QR CODE THERE. AND IT'S CHRISTMAS, AND I JUST THINK

THIS IS A PERFECT TIME. THE BIBLE SAYS IN PROVERBS, IT SAYS

THAT HE THAT GIVES TO THE POOR LENDS TO THE LORD. WE'RE GOING

TO BE TALKING ABOUT INVESTING IN OFFERINGS, AND I JUST THINK THIS

IS A PERFECT TIMING. SO ALL THAT INFORMATION IS OUT THERE. BE

SURE TO HELP AND ADOPT A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS. AND I THINK YOU

GUYS ARE DOING DISTRIBUTIONS ALL THIS WEEK, RIGHT? STARTING

TOMORROW. AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUSY. PASTOR CHELSEA AND

PASTOR DODJI REMINDED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT BE HERE WEDNESDAY

NIGHT. THEY'LL BE GIVING STUFF AWAY. AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR

WHAT YOU DO FOR THE KINGDOM OF THE LORD. AMEN. ALL RIGHT. AND

THEN GAME CHANGERS REMINDED ME, PASTOR MATT REMINDED ME UP THERE

TIMING RIGHT, FRIDAY AT SEVEN O'CLOCK. AND SO GAME CHANGERS

COME BE PART OF THAT. A LOT OF HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES GOING ON ALL

AROUND THE CHURCH AND JUST, YOU KNOW, BE PART OF THOSE THINGS.

IT'S JUST A TON OF FUN. AND I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY, PASTOR

ALREADY SAID IT, OF COURSE, THIS WEDNESDAY, PROPHETIC PULSE WILL

BE DOING KIND OF A RECAP OF THE YEAR, THINGS THAT GOD HAS BEEN

SAYING. AND DOING AND BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT

PROPHETIC PULSE? IT'S JUST A REMINDER. THERE IS A LOT OF

ENCOURAGING THINGS HAPPENING. DON'T JUST LET THE NEWS BE YOUR

VOICE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S FOCUS ON THE THINGS GOD IS DOING. OH,

SORRY ABOUT THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS ME OR SOMETHING

ELSE. BUT LET'S JUST BE REMINDED OF WHAT GOD IS DOING THAT'S

POSITIVE. IT'S AMAZING. IT'S AWESOME. AND SO BE STRENGTHENED

AND ENCOURAGED. AND THEN NEXT SUNDAY IS OUR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS

SERVICE. AND IT'LL BE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SERVICES YOU'VE

EVER BEEN TO. SO DON'T LET WEATHER KEEP YOU. I THINK IT'S

SUPPOSED TO BE PRETTY NICE THIS WEEK. A LITTLE CHILLY THIS

MORNING, PROBABLY KEPT A FEW PEOPLE INDOORS, BUT NEXT WEEK'S

GOING TO BE AWESOME. SO BE HERE. IT'LL BE ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING

EXPERIENCES YOU'VE HAD. BY THE WAY, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE

ENJOYED THE CHRISTMAS DECOR ALL AROUND THE BUILDING? I TOLD

PASTOR MARK, I SAID, OK, IT'S A DEAL. NEXT YEAR, WE'VE GOT TO

PUT IT UP SOONER. NOT THAT YOU PUT IT UP. I ALWAYS HAD IT GOING

AFTER THANKSGIVING. BUT I JUST SAY, WE PUT IT UP IN NOVEMBER.

LET'S GO. IT'S TOO NICE. I DON'T LIKE IT TO BE SO SHORT. SO

THAT'S ON ME. BUT NEXT YEAR, JUST GET READY. IT'S GOING TO BE

EVEN BETTER. AND THEN, OF COURSE, PASTOR MENTIONED NEW

YEAR'S EVE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND WE ARE GONNA BE

PRAYING OVER PEOPLE. YOU HEARD WHAT PASTOR SAID, DON'T MISS

THAT. IT'S GONNA BE JUST A POWERFUL PROPHETIC NIGHT AND YOU

STILL HAVE TIME, THOSE OF YOU, TO GET IN YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS.

GO TO HANKANDBRENDA.ORG. RIGHT NOW THE MAIL JUST SEEMS TO BE

SLOW, SO YOU CAN MAIL IT AND WE DO APPRECIATE IT, BUT HURRY. I'D

GET IT OUT NOW OR THIS WEEK FOR SURE. AND THEN WE WILL PUT ALL

THOSE PRAYER REQUESTS UP HERE ON THE PLATFORM IF YOU DO EMAIL

IT OR GO TO THE WEBSITE CONTACT, WE WILL, WHERE

IT SAYS YOU CAN SUBMIT PRAYER, WE WILL LAY IT UP

HERE AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE PRAYING OVER THE OIL AND

THEN EVERYBODY IN PERSON WILL BE ANOINTING YOU

WITH OIL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD FOR THE NEW YEAR. AND WE NEVER

KNOW WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO DURING THE NEW YEAR'S EVE

SERVICE. SO JUST COME PROPHETICALLY READY, COME

READY TO RECEIVE, PREPARE YOURSELF, PREPARE YOUR HEART,

AND LET'S WELCOME IN THE NEW YEAR THE RIGHT WAY.

AMEN? ALL RIGHT, PRAISE THE LORD. WELL, LET'S GET

INTO TODAY'S OFFERING. I'M GONNA GET PASTOR UP TO PREACH. AND

LAST WEEK I TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT THE RICH YOUNG RULER AND THE BIG

STORY OF THE RICH YOUNG RULER, I'LL JUST BE VERY KIND OF

SUMMARIZED FOR THE SAKE OF TIME, WAS THAT HE HAD MADE A LOT OF

EFFORT. HE HAD SPENT HIS WHOLE LIFE INVESTING IN THE NATURAL.

NOW WE HEAR, YOU KNOW, FINANCIAL PLANNERS, AND THEY TALK ABOUT

WEALTH MANAGEMENT, WE'RE TAUGHT TO SAVE OUR MONEY. MANY OF US,

OR YOU, OR THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING TO ME TODAY, SOME OF

YOU ONLINE, YOU'RE AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW YEAR. OUT

THIS YEAR AND YOU'RE BEGINNING NEXT YEAR AND YOU'RE THINKING,

"OKAY, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN I DO THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY?

HOW CAN I SAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE, INVEST A LITTLE BIT

BETTER?" AND SO WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT WEALTH MANAGEMENT,

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE, DON'T WE? WE HEAR IT IN THE NATURAL,

YOU KNOW, HAVE YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES IN PLACE, HAVE YOUR

WILL READY, MANAGE YOUR WEALTH, HOW YOU CAN INVEST STOCKS,

BONDS, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO TO GROW OUR

WEALTH. WELL, I'LL JUST TELL YOU, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT

GOD WANTS YOU WEALTHY, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF TEACHING THAT,

YOU KNOW, GOD DOESN'T WANT YOU TO GROW ANY WEALTH OR HAVE

ANYTHING OR SOMEHOW HAVING RICHES IS EQUATED WITH

WORLDLINESS. WELL, THEN DON'T BELIEVE IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE

THAT GOD WANTS TO PROSPER YOU, THEN BELIEVE THAT YOUR BUSINESS

IS GOING TO DECLINE NEXT YEAR. RIGHT? BECAUSE WHY BELIEVE FOR

AN EXPANSION IF YOU THINK GOD WANTS EVERYBODY POOR? OKAY, THAT

DOESN'T EVEN MAKE GOOD SENSE, DOES IT? NO, IT DOESN'T MAKE

GOOD SENSE, BUT YOU HEAR A LOT OF TEACHING ALONG THOSE LINES. I

ALWAYS SAY IF YOU DON'T THINK GOD WANTS TO PROSPER THEN DON'T

ACCEPT THE NEXT TIME YOUR EMPLOYER GIVES YOU A RAISE.

DECLINE THE BONUS. SAY, "OH, NO, I'M NOT WORTHY. GOD DOESN'T WANT

ME TO HAVE THOSE THINGS." NO, WE GOT TO READ THE BIBLE FOR THE

BIBLE. THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT COVETOUSNESS, OKAY, BUT IT

DOESN'T SAY THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE WEALTH. "WELL, YEAH, BUT PASTOR

BRENDA, THE RICH YOUNG RULER, HE HAD A LOT OF THINGS." NO, HIS

PROBLEM WAS, IS HE DIDN'T, WATCH THIS, HE INVESTED ONLY IN THE

NATURAL, WHICH IS WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE, AND WAS NOT

INVESTING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. OKAY, JESUS KNEW THE SCRIPTURE

AND PROVERBS THAT SAYS, WHEN I QUOTED EARLIER, "IF YOU GIVE TO

THE POOR, YOU LEND." COME ON, WHAT DOES THE WORD LEND MEAN? IT

MEANS IT'S A TEMPORARY GIFT, BUT IT'LL COME BACK TO YOU, RIGHT?

ISN'T THAT, IS THAT THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD LEND?

HE THAT GIVES TO THE POOR LENDS TO THE LORD, AND THEN IT SAYS

GOD WILL REPAY HIM BACK. SO THE PROBLEM WITH THE RICH YOUNG

RULER, IN FACT, IT WAS SOME, EVEN PETER AND THE DISCIPLES

TURNED TO JESUS AND SAID, "WELL, LORD, IF IT'S HARD FOR A RICH

PERSON TO ENTER THE KINGDOM, THEN WHO CAN BE SAVED?" I WOULD

JUST SAY, "WELL, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN

WEALTH MANAGEMENT. IF THEY WERE SO BROKE, WHY WOULD THEY CARE OR

MAKE THAT STATEMENT?" AMEN. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING

THAT THEY THOUGHT ABOUT. AND OF COURSE, SO JESUS SAYS, "WELL, IT

MIGHT BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MAN, BUT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH

GOD." HE WAS SAYING THAT THERE SHOULD BE WEALTHY PEOPLE. COME

ON, DON'T JUST ACCEPT POVERTY AS NORMAL. THERE SHOULD BE WEALTHY

PEOPLE AND UNLIKE THE RICH YOUNG RULER WHO INVEST IN THE KINGDOM

OF GOD. NOW, LET ME SAY THIS. GO TO 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 9, AND

2 Corinthians 9 · chapter mention

WE READ THIS A LOT, BUT I WANNA PULL A COUPLE THINGS OUT OF IT

TODAY. I JUST SAID WHAT I SAID JUST NOW TO KIND OF SET THE TONE

FOR THIS. 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6. I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS IN LIGHT OF

2 Corinthians 9:6

INVESTMENT. HOW MANY OF YOU AND YOU CAN SHOW YOUR HAND HAVE DONE

SOME NATURAL INVESTING IN SOMETHING? OKAY, YOU'VE EITHER

INVESTED IN STOCKS, OR YOU'VE INVESTED IN WEALTH OR YOUR IRA

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU'VE INVESTED IN THE NATURAL. IF I

GAVE THAT POLL ALL AROUND THE WORLD, MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY

THEY HAVE DONE NATURAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT OR INVESTING. BUT GOD

HAS AN INVESTMENT PROGRAM. AMEN. AND GOD HAS DIVIDENDS. ARE YOU

READY? LOOK AT WHAT THE WORD SAYS. BUT THIS I SAY, "HE WHICH

SOWS," YOU COULD SAY IT LIKE THIS, "INVESTS." OKAY, SOWING IS

A FORM OF INVESTING. FARMERS INVEST IN THEIR CROPS BY SOWING,

RIGHT? HE THAT INVESTS SPARINGLY SHALL REAP IT SPARINGLY. OKAY,

YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL IF YOUR EMPLOYER HAS A PROGRAM, IF YOUR

EMPLOYER HAS A PROGRAM WHERE YOU CAN INVEST IN YOUR RETIREMENT,

THEN, AND THEY'LL TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, WE'LL MATCH 1%. HOW MANY

OF YOU HAVE EMPLOYERS THAT DO THAT? THEY'LL MATCH A CERTAIN

PERCENTAGE OF WHATEVER YOU INVEST IN YOUR RETIREMENT. WELL,

IF THEY SAY YOU COULD GIVE 1% OR 2%, MOST PEOPLE WANT TO GIVE THE

2% 'CAUSE THEY WANT THE 2% MATCH, RIGHT? OKAY, THAT'S

CALLED NATURAL INVESTING. OKAY, BUT GOD SAID, "IF YOU'LL INVEST

THE EXTRA IN SPIRITUAL THINGS, YOU'LL REAP ACCORDING TO

WHATEVER YOU INVEST." IS THAT NOT WHAT THAT VERSE IS SAYING?

NOW, LOOK WHAT HE GOES ON TO SAY. SEE, I THINK WE NEED TO

CLAIM THE DIVIDENDS THAT COME TO US. PEOPLE SAY, "I'VE HEARD IT

FOR YEARS, "YOU CANNOT GIVE TO GET." WELL, THAT'S NOT THE

HEART, WE DON'T GIVE TO GET, BUT WE GIVE TO TRUST, COME ON, WHAT

GOD HAS SAID. NOW, YOU'RE GONNA FIND FROM THIS THAT WHEN YOU

INVEST IN GOD'S SYSTEM, IT DOESN'T JUST COME BACK IN

FINANCIAL DIVIDENDS, IT SPREADS TO OTHER AREAS. IT'LL SPREAD TO

YOUR HEALTH. COME ON, IT'LL SPREAD TO YOUR SOUNDNESS OF

MIND. IT'LL SPREAD TO PROTECTION. HE THAT INVESTS

SPARINGLY WILL REAP SPARINGLY. SEE, I'M PREACHING SO THAT YOU

CAN START 2026 ON THE RIGHT FOOT. BUT HE THAT SOWS

BOUNTIFULLY, OR HE THAT SOWS BOUNTIFULLY, SHALL ALSO RECEIVE,

OR HE THAT INVESTS BOUNTIFULLY, SHALL RECEIVE A DIVIDEND THAT'S

BOUNTIFUL. EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HE DETERMINES, OR WHATEVER IS

BOUNTIFUL TO YOU, OKAY? WHAT'S BOUNTIFUL TO THE ONE PERSON MAY

NOT BE BOUNTIFUL TO SOMEBODY ELSE. LET HIM DECIDE IN HIS

HEART WHAT TO GIVE, NOT WITH A GRUDGINGNESS OR OF NECESSITY,

NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE FORCED TO, NO, BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT WORKS.

OKAY, JESUS WITH THE WOMAN WHO GAVE THE LAST TWO COINS THAT SHE

HAD, YOU KNOW, HE NEVER TURNED AROUND TO HER AND SAID, YOU POOR

LADY, JUST GO PUT THOSE COINS TO GOOD USE. WE'LL RELY ON SOME

WEALTHIER PEOPLE TO FOR THE TREASURY OF THE KINGDOM. NO, HE

KNOWS THAT GOD, IF YOU INVEST IN GOD AND HIS SYSTEM, YOU GET A

BETTER DIVIDEND. AND GUESS WHAT? THE DIVIDENDS WE GET ON THIS

EARTH IN THE NATURAL, DON'T FOLLOW US TO HEAVEN IN THE

NATURAL. BUT WHAT YOU INVEST IN THE KINGDOM GOES ALL THE WAY UP

TO HEAVEN. HALLELUJAH! IT'S A ETERNAL INVESTMENT. NOW LET ME

READ THE REST SO WE CAN GET PASTOR UP HERE. THIS IS SO GOOD

I COULD PREACH A WHOLE MESSAGE ON IT NOT GRUDGINGLY OR OUT OF

REQUIREMENT FOR GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER HE LOVES SOMEBODY

THAT'S EXCITED BECAUSE IF YOU'RE EXCITED WHEN YOU DO IT, YOU'LL

HAVE FAITH TO RECEIVE THE DIVIDENDS AND GOD NOW HERE'S THE

PART I WANT YOU TO SEE. GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND

TOWARDS YOU THAT YOU, YES, WILL ALWAYS, SOMEBODY SAY ALWAYS,

HAVE ALL SUFFICIENCY. COME ON, ALL SUFFICIENCY. SOME OF YOU IN

THE ROOM TODAY NEED TO SAY I'VE GOT TITHES, I'VE GOT SEED, I'VE

GOT INVESTMENTS IN THE KINGDOM. AND NOW I'M CALLING BACK THAT

ALL SUFFICIENCY PROMISE. ALL SUFFICIENCY. NOW HERE'S THE PART

I WANT YOU TO SEE. IT'S NOT JUST FINANCIAL, ALL SUFFICIENCY IN

FINANCIAL THINGS. DID IT SAY THAT? NO, IT SAID ALL

SUFFICIENCY IN WHAT? ALL THINGS. COME ON, SOME OF YOU CAME IN THE

LINE TODAY FOR A BREAKTHROUGH IN SOME AREA. DO YOU KNOW YOUR

FINANCIAL GIVING WILL PRECEDE YOU? AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE

SUFFICIENT SEED IN THE GROUND, GET IT FIXED TODAY. DO

SOMETHING. ALL SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS SO THAT YOU MIGHT

ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK. HUH. OH MAN, SO MUCH I COULD SAY

THERE. FOR IT'S WRITTEN THAT HE HATH DISPERSED ABROAD. THAT'S

TALKING ABOUT YOU. YOU'VE GIVEN. OKAY. YOU'VE GIVEN TO THE POOR.

WHAT DID WE JUST READ? PROVERBS 19:17 HE THAT GIVES TO THE POOR

Proverbs 19:17

LENDS TO THE LORD THE LORD WILL REPAY HIM AGAIN SO IF YOU GAVE

DIAPERS THIS WEEK, YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR DIAPERS TO COME BACK

RIGHT, BUT YOU'RE SOWING KNOW THAT IF YOU LEND TO THE LORD GOD

WILL TAKE CARE OF SOME AREA FOR YOU AND HE WILL MULTIPLY

SOMEBODY SHOUT MULTIPLY. HE WILL MULTIPLY. OH, I'M SORRY. I

SKIPPED THAT PART. HE HAS GIVEN TO THE POOR AND HIS

RIGHTEOUSNESS. HERE'S THE ETERNAL PEACE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

WILL AND REMAIN FOREVER. IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR SEED WILL LAST

ETERNALLY NOW HE THAT MINISTERS SEED TO THE SOWER BOTH MINISTERS

BREAD FOR YOUR FOOD AND WILL MULTIPLY SOMEBODY SHALL MULTIPLY

YOUR SEED SO THAT NEEDS TO BE OUR FAITH THIS YEAR AND INCREASE

THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS BEING ENRICHED IN EVERYTHING

COME ON NOT A FEW THINGS NOT JUST IN YOUR FINANCES BUT IN

EVERYTHING AND IT WILL CAUSE US TO GET TO HAVE THANKSGIVING TO

GOD. THAT WORD ENRICHED BY THE WAY IS THEY PUT THE GIVING

INFORMATION UP MEANS TO MAKE WEALTHY. IMAGINE IF YOU WOULD BE

WELL PASTOR BRENDA I ONLY MAKE X AMOUNT A YEAR I'M NOT EVEN ON

THE SIX FIGURES SINCE WHEN IS GOD'S SYSTEM SUBJECT TO YOUR

SALARY? AMEN. PEOPLE PLAY THE LOTTERY EVERY SINGLE DAY

BELIEVING FOR A BREAKTHROUGH OUTSIDE THEIR SALARY. IMAGINE IF

YOU PUT THAT TO GOD. AMEN. I'VE SEEN GOD DO REMARKABLE THINGS. I

MEAN THERE WERE TIMES WE WERE THE WIDOW, LIKE THE WIDOW GIVING

THE TWO MITES. AND I SAW A BREAKTHROUGH AND I'M STILL

SEEING IT. I'M TELLING YOU GOD'S SYSTEM WORKS. AMEN. AMEN. SO

INVEST IN THE KINGDOM THIS YEAR. AND IF YOU INVESTED LAST YEAR,

INVEST MORE BECAUSE GOD WILL BRING A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST. MOST

PEOPLE, IF THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS A MILLION DOLLARS ATTACHED

TO THEIR TITHE, THEY WOULD TITHE WITHOUT FAIL. WELL, HOW DO YOU

KNOW THERE ISN'T? THINK ABOUT IT. GOD'S SYSTEM ALWAYS WORKS.

ALL RIGHT, GIVING INFORMATION IS UP ON THE SCREEN. ALL THE

DIFFERENT WAYS TO GIVE, MOBILE APP, TEXT TO GIVE, THE WEBSITE.

THANK YOU EVERYONE HERE AND ONLINE FOR SOWING INTO THE

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE FOR YOUR GIVING AS WELL, AND WE ARE

VERY GRATEFUL. SO, ALL RIGHT. WELL, I'M GETTING EXCITED TO

SPEAK THIS AS THE USHERS ARE SERVING YOU. I JUST WANNA REMIND

YOU THAT YOU DON'T WANNA MISS THIS NEXT SUNDAY CHRISTMAS. IT'S

GONNA BE GREAT. AND JOHN, I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING. JOHN, OUR SON,

YOU'RE GONNA ACTUALLY COME AND JOIN US FOR THE SERVICE. NOW,

I'M JUST GONNA SPEAK TO MY SON REAL QUICK. YOU MIGHT WANNA GET

A CLEAN SHIRT. AND I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU, JOHN, YOU KNOW

I AM. BUT ANYWAY, YOU KEEP TELLING ME YOU'RE BRINGING A

PUZZLE, SO I'M PUZZLED, I WANNA SEE WHAT PUZZLE IT IS. AND

AGAIN, I'LL LET YOU PUT AT LEAST THREE PIECES IN, 'CAUSE THAT'S

USUALLY ALL YOU DO ON THOSE 2,000 PIECES, ONLY LIKE THREE

PIECES. I DO MOST OF IT, JOHN, SO THERE YOU GO. BUT IT'LL BE A

GREAT CHRISTMAS SERVICE. AND THEN DON'T FORGET TUESDAY NIGHT,

I'LL BE ON WITH GENE BAILEY AND LANCE WALLNAU. I GUESS IT'S JUST

GONNA BE THE TWO FOSSILS OF FLASHPOINT ON WITH GENE. SO

IT'LL BE A LOT OF FUN. I REMEMBER LANCE WAS THE FIRST GUY

AND THEN I WAS THE SECOND WEEK. AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS,

NEXT YEAR IT'LL BE ALMOST, OR IS IT THIS YEAR? THIS YEAR WILL BE

ALMOST NO, THIS YEAR IS FIVE YEARS. I'VE ALREADY PASSED FIVE

YEARS. I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MINUTE, GENE, WHEN HE CALLED ME,

SAID, "HEY, WOULD YOU GIVE ME JUST A COUPLE WEEKS "TO A

MONTH?" I'M LIKE, "I COULD DO THAT."

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

WHERE DID FIVE YEARS GO? GENE, WHERE DID FIVE YEARS GO, RIGHT?

SO ANYWAY, ALL RIGHT, I WANT YOU TO OPEN YOUR BIBLES TO MATTHEW

Matthew 22 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 22. AND I WANT YOU TO, THIS HAS KIND OF BEEN OUR TEXT

VERSE THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, LOVE AND HONOR. AND I SAY

THIS BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN VERY ENJOYABLE. I HAVE, I'VE GROWN,

I'VE HOPED AND PRAYED THAT YOU'VE GROWN, YOU'VE LOOKED AT

YOUR LIFE, AND AGAIN, THERE'S SELF-EXAMINATION. YOU DON'T

SELF-CONDEMN, YOU SELF-EXAMINE. YOU LOOK FOR AREAS THAT YOU

THINK, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I NEED TO DO THAT. AND BE HONEST

WITH YOURSELF. THAT'S WHAT I TRY TO DO, I TRY TO BE HONEST WITH

MYSELF. I HAVE A GOD THAT KEEPS ME HONEST TO MYSELF AND AS WELL

AS MY WIFE, RIGHT? BUT LOOK AT MATTHEW 22:35. THIS IS OUR TEXT,

Matthew 22:35

"THEN ONE OF THEM, "WHICH WAS AN ATTORNEY, A LAWYER, "ASKED JESUS

A QUESTION, "AND THE LAWYER WAS TEMPTING HIM, SAYING, "MASTER,

WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT?" NOW, THE ATTORNEY

WAS TRYING TO TRAP JESUS. NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAYS. HE SAYS, "THOU

SHALL LOVE," NOTICE THE WORD LOVE. TODAY, WE'RE GONNA TALK

ABOUT LOVE. "THOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD THY GOD." NOW, IN THE

COMMANDMENTS, IT USES THE WORD HONOR, AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING

ABOUT HONOR, AND I WANNA SHOW YOU ONE PRINCIPLE ABOUT HONOR

REAL QUICK BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT LOVE. BUT JESUS SAID, "THOU

SHALL LOVE THE LORD THY GOD "WITH ALL THY HEART." NOTICE IT

STARTS, LOVE FOR GOD STARTS IN YOUR HEART. HEART TO HEART,

HEART TO HEART. THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS TELL GOD. I SAID, "LORD,

I DON'T WANT A SHALLOW RELATIONSHIP. "I WANT HEART TO

HEART." I REALLY DO. I WANT YOUR HEART, I'M CAPTURING YOUR HEART,

I'M GOING AFTER IT, AND I'M GONNA GIVE YOU ALL OF MINE. SO

THOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND THEN

YOU GOTTA GET YOUR MIND INVOLVED. YOU GOTTA GET YOUR

SOUL INVOLVED. COME ON, YOUR EMOTIONS, YOUR WANT TO, YOUR

DETERMINATION. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TELLING GOD, YOU KNOW,

SOMETHING THAT BRENDA AND I HAVE BEEN DOING, PASTOR BRENDA AND I,

WE'VE BEEN, I HEARD THE LORD SAY TO ME AT, RIGHT AROUND

THANKSGIVING, SAID, "I WANT YOU TO, EVERY DAY," HE SAID,

"RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION IN DECEMBER." AND SO I SAID,

"OKAY." HE DIDN'T TELL ME WHY. I DIDN'T EVEN ASK HIM WHY. I JUST

FIGURED, YOU KNOW WHAT? HE SAID, "DO IT, AND I'M GONNA DO IT. I

DON'T EVEN NEED AN ANSWER. I DON'T EVEN NEED AN EXPLANATION."

BUT I TELL YOU, I'VE BEEN ENJOYING EVERY SINGLE DAY,

PASTOR BRENDA AND I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING COMMUNION, EVEN THIS

MORNING BEFORE WE CAME HERE. AND SO, BECAUSE I'M DETERMINED, I AM

GOING TO DRAW CLOSER TO GOD, AND I WANT HIM CLOSER TO ME. AND

THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU'VE GOTTA DETERMINE IN YOUR HEART, BUT

YOU'VE GOTTA DETERMINE IN YOUR EMOTIONS, RIGHT? YOU GOTTA

DETERMINE IN YOUR MIND, THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, AND

NOTHING IS GONNA TALK ME OUT OF IT. AMEN? SO THOU SHALL LOVE THE

LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL, MIND AND ALSO STRENGTH, RIGHT?

LOOK AT, THAT’S THE FIRST COMMANDMENT JESUS SAYS IN VERSE

38. THEN HE GOES ON. AND HE SAYS NOW HERE IS THE SECOND

COMMANDMENT. THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT. YOU SHOULD LOVE YOUR

NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. SO YOU GOTTA LOVE GOD, HONOR GOD.

THAT’S THE VERTICAL OF THE CROSS. AND NOW THE HORIZONTAL,

YOU GOTTA LOVE AND HONOR OTHERS. NOW LOOK AT MATTHEW 15, VERSE 8.

Matthew 15:8

I JUST WANT TO DO JUST THIS REAL FAST, BECAUSE WHETHER IT’S LOVE

OR WHETHER IT’S HONOR, IT CAN’T BE LIP SERVICE. YOU CAN’T SAY TO

YOUR SPOUSE, “I LOVE YOU,” AND THEN THERE'S NO CORRESPONDING

ACTION. YOU CAN’T SAY TO YOUR CHILD, “I LOVE YOU,” AND THEN

THERE’S NO CORRESPONDING ACTION. TEENAGER, YOU CAN'T SAY, "I LOVE

MY MOM AND DAD," AND THERE NOT BE A CORRESPONDING ACTION OF

OBEDIENCE. YOU CAN'T SAY, "YOU LOVE YOUR NATION," AND THERE'S

NOT A CORRESPONDING ACTION, RIGHT? WHERE YOU SHOW AN HONOR

TO YOUR NATION, RIGHT? A LOVE AND APPRECIATION FOR ITS

FREEDOM. BUT JESUS SAID, "THE PEOPLE DRAW CLOSE TO ME "WITH

LIP SERVICE, AND THEY HONOR ME WITH THEIR LIPS, "BUT THEIR

HEART IS FAR AWAY." SO NO MATTER IF IT'S LOVE, THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, OR IT'S HONOR, YOU HAVE TO NOT JUST SAY IT OUT OF

YOUR MOUTH. NOW, OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR HEART, YOUR

MOUTH SPEAKS, BUT IF IT REALLY IS IN YOUR HEART AND IT'S COMING

OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME KIND OF CORRESPONDING

ACTION. YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE FRUIT OF IT. YOU'RE GONNA SEE

THE MANIFESTATION OF, IF YOU REALLY HONOR GOD. YOU'RE GONNA

SEE THE MANIFESTATION IF YOU REALLY LOVE GOD. YOU'RE GONNA GO

THE EXTRA MILE. YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN ACCUSED IN 40 YEARS OF

SERVING GOD OF BEING TOO RADICAL. NOW THERE'S ZEALOTS AND

THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE IDIOTS THAT, HAVE YOU EVER MET THOSE?

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT. I'M TALKING ABOUT RADICAL

CHRISTIANITY TO WHERE YOU ARE SO DETERMINED FOR THE FACE AND

HEART OF GOD THAT YOU'RE NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER. YOU'RE

NOT GONNA LIVE IN COMPROMISE. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE A WOKE

CHRISTIAN. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE A COMPROMISED CHRISTIAN, RIGHT?

NOT GONNA BE ON THE SLIPPERY SLOPE OF SIN. YOU'RE NOT GONNA

DRIFT AWAY. YOU ARE GONNA STAY ROCK SOLID WITH GOD. EVERY ONE

OF US NEEDS TO HAVE THAT KIND OF DETERMINATION. NOW, I WANT YOU

TO GO TO 3 JOHN FOR JUST A MOMENT AS WE TALK ABOUT HONOR

AND SHIFT OVER INTO LOVE. THIS IS ONE SCRIPTURE THAT I DO FEEL

TO SHARE WITH YOU. WE OFTEN QUOTE, LET'S GO TO VERSE TWO, 3

JOHN 2. WE QUOTE THIS ALL THE TIME. AND HOW MANY OF YOU PRAY

THIS? AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, YOU CAN JUST RAISE

YOUR HAND OR YOU CAN PUT A LITTLE HAND UP OR WHATEVER. BUT

WE PRAY THIS AND WE DON'T REALIZE WHAT IT'S CONNECTED TO.

IT SAYS, "BELOVED, I PRAY OR I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS." SO HOW

MUCH IS ALL THINGS? ALL THINGS. NOW, JOHN WAS WRITING UNDER THE

INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. SO YOU COULD SAY THE HOLY SPIRIT

ALSO DESIRES THESE THINGS. AND THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED

IN OUR COVENANT WITH GOD. AND THAT IS THAT WE PROSPER, THAT WE

DON'T TAKE A VOW OF POVERTY. WE DON'T WALK AROUND, YOU KNOW,

WITH, YOU KNOW, CONSTANTLY IN LACK AND NEVER LIVING A BLESSED

LIFE. JESUS WASN'T MESSING AROUND WHEN HE SAID, "I'VE COME

TO GIVE YOU LIFE AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY." AND HE MADE IT VERY

CLEAR IN JOHN 10. HE SAID, "THE DEVIL IS THE ONE THAT'S TRYING

"TO KEEP YOU FROM PROSPERING." HE'S THE ONE THAT STEALS. HE'S

THE ONE THAT KILLS. HE'S THE ONE THAT DESTROYS. BUT I'VE COME TO

GIVE YOU LIFE. AND I'VE COME TO GIVE YOU, WATCH THIS, HE USES

THE WORD MORE ABUNDANT LIFE. GOD WANTS YOU BLESSED. SAY, I'M

BLESSED. I'M BLESSED. SO ABOVE ALL, YOU MAY PROSPER. YOU LIVE A

BLESSED LIFE. AND NOTICE HE WANTS YOU IN HEALTH. HEY, YOUR

WORDS, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR WORDS ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR

HEALTH. YOUR BODY, YOU'RE THE PROPHET OF YOUR OWN LIFE. DON'T

YOU GO AROUND SAYING YOU'RE GONNA DIE. DON'T YOU GO AROUND

SAYING YOU'RE GONNA DIE EARLY. DON'T YOU GO AROUND SAYING THIS

IS KILLING YOU, THIS HURTS, THIS, STOP IT. DON'T SAY, WELL,

EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY HAS THIS. NO, ABOVE ALL, JESUS ALREADY

HEALED YOU. IT HAS BEEN SETTLED BY BLOOD. AND THE BIBLE SAYS

THAT HIS BLOOD SPEAKS. SO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS LINE YOUR

WORDS UP WITH WHAT HIS BLOOD SPEAKS. HIS BLOOD SPEAKS

HEALING. HIS BLOOD SPEAKS HEALTH. THE BIBLE SAYS IN ISAIAH

53, YOU ARE HEALED. IT'S ALREADY SETTLED. IT'S BEEN SETTLED ON

THE CROSS. THE BLOOD HAS BEEN PUT UPON THE MERCY SEAT AND NOT

THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND GOATS AND CALVES, BUT IT'S YESHUA, THE

LAMB OF GOD'S BLOOD THAT WAS PUT THERE, THAT HE HIMSELF CARRIED.

AND THEN 1 PETER 2:24 SAYS, "YOU WERE HEALED." WELL, IF YOU ARE

1 Peter 2:24

AND WERE, IT'S SETTLED. NOW IT NEEDS TO BE SETTLED IN YOU, AND

IF IT'S SETTLED IN YOU, YOU NEED TO SPEAK IT, DECLARE IT, SO THAT

YOUR BODY CAN COME INTO MANIFESTATION. WHEN GOD SPOKE,

"LET THERE BE LIGHT," THE EARTH CAME INTO MANIFESTATION OF WHAT

HE SAID. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE EARTH WAS FRAMED, FRAMED BY THE

WORDS OF HIS POWER. YOU FRAME YOUR WORLD BY WHAT YOU SPEAK.

YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR WORLD? CHANGE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

BELOVED ABOVE ALL, YOU PROSPER. YOUR SOUL PROSPERS AND YOU BE IN

GOOD HEALTH. NOW, KEEP READING. LOOK AT VERSE THREE. WHY DID

THIS BECOME THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THE APOSTLE

JOHN TO SHARE THIS? WHY? 'CAUSE NOTICE WHAT'S CONNECTED. FOR

JOHN, NOW HE'S A SPIRITUAL FATHER, HE'S SPEAKING, AND YOU

HAVE TO GO BACK UP TO VERSE ONE, WHO'S HE SPEAKING TO? LET'S GO

UP TO VERSE ONE AND WE'LL COME BACK TO VERSE THREE. ELDER UNTO

THE WELL-BELOVED GAIUS, WHOM I LOVE IN TRUTH. YOU ARE SUCH A

PERSON OF HONOR, THE ELDER GAIUS. VERSE 2, I WISH ABOVE ALL

YOU PROSPER, YOUR SOUL PROSPERS, AND YOU'RE IN GOOD HEALTH. THIS

IS WHAT I'M PRAYING BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A MAN OF HONOR. NOW

LOOK AT VERSE 3. FOR I REJOICED GREATLY WHEN THE BRETHREN CAME

AND TESTIFIED OF THE HONOR THAT'S IN YOU. SO PEOPLE COULD

SEE THE HONOR, EVEN AS YOU WALK IN HONOR. IT'S SO EVIDENT. SO

ABOVE ALL, YOU PROSPER, YOUR SOUL PROSPERS, AND YOU'RE IN

GOOD HEALTH. AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU, I'VE BEEN SHARING WITH YOU

THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT THE BLESSINGS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO

HONOR, YOUR HEALTH, YOUR SOUL. COME ON, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE

A WIGGED OUT MIND. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN FEAR. YOU DON'T

HAVE TO BE IN ANXIETY. YOU CAN HAVE A PROSPEROUS SOUL, RIGHT?

YOU CAN BE IN HEALTH AND YOU CAN HAVE A BLESSED LIFE. I SHOWED

YOU PROVERBS THREE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HONOR GOD, YOU

HONOR HIS WORD. THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'LL HAVE LENGTH OF DAYS, LONG

LIFE, PEACE. IT SAYS RICHES WILL BE IN YOUR HANDS. SO JUST AS IT

WAS WITH GAIUS OR GAIUS, HOWEVER YOU PRONOUNCE HIS NAME, THE

ELDER, BECAUSE HE WALKED IN HONOR, WHAT WAS CONNECTED,

3 JOHN 2. GOD WILL RELEASE BLESSINGS WHEN WE WALK IN HONOR

AND WE WALK IN LOVE. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LOVE WALK. I WANT

YOU TO GO OVER TO 1 JOHN. WE'RE ALREADY PRETTY MUCH THERE, BUT I

WANT YOU TO LOOK BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA READ OUT

OF THE NIV, AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE

LOVE WALK BECAUSE WE ARE COMMANDED IN SCRIPTURE. WE ARE

NOT SUGGESTED. GOD DOESN'T JUST SAY, "NOW, HEY, IF YOU WANT TO,

YOU CAN WALK IN LOVE. IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN HONOR." NO,

IT'S A COMMAND TO HONOR. IT'S A COMMAND TO LOVE. NOW, THE LOVE

THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NOT THE GOOFY OLD BUMMER. REMEMBER

OLD BUMMER? BARACK OLD BUMMER. LOVE WINS, LOVE WINS. THAT'S

WHAT WE'RE GONNA DECLARE, LOVE WINS. NO, NO, HERE'S WHERE OLD

BUMMER WAS MESSED UP. HE THOUGHT LOVE WINS WHEN IT'S TALKING

ABOUT SOMETHING THAT VIOLATED GOD'S WORD. RIGHT? IN REGARDS TO

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, YOU KNOW, TWO DUDES GETTING MARRIED, TWO

WOMEN GETTING MARRIED, AND LOVE WINS. WELL, HERE'S WHERE OLD

BUMMER MISSED IT. YOU CANNOT SAY OR DECLARE THAT LOVE WINS IF YOU

NEGATE THE DEFINITION OF LOVE. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD IS LOVE.

SO IF YOU'RE GONNA REALLY DEFINE AND SAY THAT LOVE WINS AND

YOU'RE GONNA REALLY DEFINE LOVE, YOU HAVE TO DEFINE WHAT LOVE IS.

LOVE IS GOD. AND IF GOD DOESN'T LOVE THE SIN OF HOMOSEXUALITY

AND HE CALLS IT AN ABOMINATION, THEN IT DOESN'T WIN. WHAT OBAMA

WAS SAYING IS HIS OWN LIFESTYLE PROBABLY WON OUT BECAUSE THE

SUPREME COURT SIDED WITH IT. OR IF IT'S NOT HIS LIFE, MAYBE WHAT

HIS BELIEF SYSTEM IS. AND IT VIOLATED THIS. SO YEAH, WHAT WON

WAS HIS OWN PERVERTED AGENDA. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT GOD

SAID AND GOD WHO IS LOVE AND HOW GOD FELT ABOUT IT. SO BE CAREFUL

WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT LOVE THAT YOU DON'T START

THINKING IN THE CONTEXT OF WOKE, COMPROMISE, CONFORMITY, GOD IS

LOVE EVERYBODY. YEAH, YOU GOTTA LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, RIGHT? BUT

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE 'EM AND CONFORM. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE

AND BE TOLERANT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE AND NOT BE DISAGREEABLE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE WITHOUT A STANDARD. THE STANDARD IS GOD.

THE STANDARD IS HONOR. THE STANDARD IS HIS COMMANDMENTS.

AND IF IT VIOLATES IT, THEN THEY HAVE TO ADJUST, NOT ME AND MY

LOVE. ALL RIGHT, YOU ALL ARE SLEEPY. THAT'S SOME GOOD

PREACHING. HOLD ON, JUST A MINUTE, I GOTTA LOOK AT THAT

GUY. THAT IS SOME GOOD PREACHING, DUDE, ON THE TV.

OKAY, NOW LET'S GO. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT VERSE THREE, 1 JOHN 2:3.

1 John 2:3

"WE KNOW THAT WE'VE COME TO KNOW HIM "IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDS."

THIS IS, AGAIN, "IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDS." "WHOEVER SAYS, 'I

KNOW HIM,'" "BUT DOES NOT DO WHAT HE COMMANDS IS A LIAR."

WHOA, YOU KNOW WHAT? PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN MAD AT ME. YOU ARE TOO

HARD OF A PREACHER. TODAY'S GENERATION CAN'T HANDLE THAT.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THEY CAN HANDLE IT. THEY'RE BOLD, BRASH.

BUT LOOK AT JOHN, HE'S LITERALLY CALLING THE CHURCH A BUNCH OF

LIARS. IF YOU SAY THAT YOU KNOW GOD AND YOU DON'T KEEP HIS

COMMANDS, YOU DON'T LIE. WHAT HAPPENED? SEE, I TOLD YOU YOU

DIDN'T LIKE MY PREACHING. EVERYTHING WENT BLANK. CAN THEY

SEE ONLINE? OKAY, THEY CAN SEE ONLINE. NOW HERE'S THE THING.

WHOEVER SAYS I KNOW HIM BUT DOES NOT DO WHAT HE COMMANDS IS A

LIAR. LUKE 6:46. LOOK AT WHAT LUKE 6:46 SAYS. IT SAYS, "AND

Luke 6:46 Luke 6:46

WHY DO YOU CALL ME LORD?" OH, YOU MEAN I GOTTA DO WHAT HE

SAYS? YEAH, YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT HE SAYS. SEE, TO CALL JESUS LORD

IS TO CALL HIM KING. I DARE YOU TO GO UP TO A KING AND TELL HIM

YOU AIN'T GONNA DO IT. I DARE YOU TO GO UP TO A REAL PARENT

THAT KNOWS HOW TO GOVERN AND PARENT, RIGHT? 'CAUSE YOU AIN'T

GONNA CLEAN YOUR ROOM. I TRIED THAT A FEW TIMES. AND I HAVE

OBEDIENCE BECAUSE, MOM, OF ALL THOSE SPANKINGS THAT I ENDURED,

I BECAME AN OBEDIENT CHILD THROUGH THE THINGS I SUFFERED.

I'M JUST TEASING, THEY NEVER REFUSED. MOM, I WAS JUST TRYING

TO MAKE YOU LAUGH. ALL RIGHT, AND WHY DO YOU CALL ME LORD AND

YOU DON'T DO WHAT I SAY? LET'S GO BACK TO OUR SCRIPTURE. JOHN

IS SPEAKING, HE SAYS, "IF YOU SAY THAT YOU KNOW GOD, "IF YOU

REALLY SAY THAT YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN "AND YOU DON'T DO WHAT

HE COMMANDS, YOU'RE A LIAR, "AND HONOR IS NOT IN YOU. "BUT IF

ANYONE OBEYS HIS WORD, "LOVE FOR GOD IS TRULY MADE COMPLETE.

"THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT WE ARE IN HIM," OR, "THIS IS HOW WE

KNOW WE'RE A SOLID CHRISTIAN. "WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN HIM

MUST LIVE AS JESUS DID." WELL, SEE, PASTOR HANK, JESUS DID NOT

GO AROUND AND, YOU KNOW, UPSET ANYONE. YES, HE DID. HE TURNED

OVER TABLES, HE TOOK A WHIP, FASHIONED IT ALL NIGHT, WENT

INTO THE TEMPLE. MORE THAN ONCE HE CLEANSED THE TEMPLE. I

GUARANTEE YOU, SOMEBODY WAS PROBABLY IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF

THOSE WHIPS, TURNING OVER THE TABLES. I'M SURE ONE OF THEM

PROBABLY HAD ONE OF THOSE TABLES FALL ON THEIR FOOT. HOW ABOUT

WHEN HE TOLD THE DISCIPLES AND THE PEOPLE, SAID, "HEY, BY THE

WAY, GO TELL HEROD," OKAY, WHO WAS IN GOVERNMENT, "WELL, IF

JESUS, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO STAY OUT OF POLITICS. WHY DON'T YOU

ACT LIKE JESUS? WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT HE DID. HE SAID, "GO

TELL HEROD THE FOX." NOW THAT WORD FOX WAS NOT, "OH, GO TELL

THAT SLY GUY." NO, LITERAL TRANSLATION OF SLY FOX IS

BASICALLY SOMEONE WHO IS BISEXUAL. I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE

USE THE WORD FAGGOT. THAT IT LITERALLY MEANT TO CALL OUT

HEROD'S SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND LIFESTYLE AS A BISEXUAL HUMAN

BEING LEADER. AND JESUS INVOLVED HIMSELF. HE WAS NOT AFRAID TO

SPEAK UP. HE CALLED THE PHARISEES, THOSE IN THE CHURCH

THAT KNEW BETTER, THAT DON'T VOTE, RIGHT, THAT DON'T

UNDERSTAND WHEN THEIR NATION IS UNDER ATTACK THROUGH OTHER FALSE

RELIGIONS, PEOPLE READING TO OUR KIDS THAT ARE DRAG QUEENS. OKAY,

JESUS LITERALLY LOOKED AT THEM WHO WERE COMPROMISING AND HE

SAID, "YOU'RE A WHITEWASHED SEPULCHER. YOU'RE FULL OF DEAD

MAN'S BONES. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRETCHED." HE DID NOT MIX HIS

WORDS. THERE'S A REASON THAT A BUNCH OF THE PHARISEES ACCUSING

THE WOMAN IN ADULTERY ALL DROPPED THEIR ROCKS WHEN JESUS

BENT DOWN AND BEGAN TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND AND HE BEGAN TO

WRITE SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY EVERY ONE OF THEM DROPPED THEIR

ROCKS. OKAY, HE DIDN'T PLAY. HE DIDN'T PLAY. AND THEN HE SAID TO

HER, HE SAID, "HEY, DON'T SIN. DON'T DO THIS ANYMORE." SO WE'RE

TO DO AS JESUS DID. THAT'S PART OF THE LOVE WALK IS KNOW WHEN TO

BE TOUGH, KNOW WHEN TO SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE, NOT CONFORMITY,

NOT COMPROMISE, RIGHT? NOT JUST ACCEPTING EVERYTHING AND BEING

TOLERANT. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. OKAY. JESUS, EVEN IN, IN

REVELATION, BRENDA TAUGHT US THIS, PASTOR BRENDA, IN THE

SEVEN CHURCHES THAT THE LORD SAID, IF, WHICH CHURCH WAS IT

THAT WAS LUKEWARM? LAODICEA SAID, IF YOU'RE THE MIDDLE OF

THE ROAD, IF YOU'RE LUKEWARM, YOU'RE JUST PLAYING TOLERANT.

YOU'RE PLAYING WOKE. YOU'RE PLAYING, I AGREE WITH EVERYBODY,

RIGHT? I'M GONNA BE SPIRITUAL SWITZERLAND LIKE THEY WERE IN

THE WORLD WAR. WE'RE JUST GONNA MAINTAIN NEUTRALITY. JESUS SAID

I VOMIT THAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN OUT OF MY MOUTH. THAT'S JESUS'S

WORDS SO LET'S GO BACK TO OUR TEXT AND OUR CONTEXT NOW HE SAID

DEAR FRIENDS. I'M NOT WRITING YOU A NEW COMMANDMENT, BUT IT'S

AN OLD ONE WHICH YOU'VE HAD SINCE THE BEGINNING THIS OLD

COMMANDMENT IS THE MESSAGE YOU'VE HEARD YET. I'M WRITING

YOU A NEW COMMAND IT IT'S TRUTH IS SEEN IN HIM AND IT'S ALSO IN

YOU BECAUSE THE DARKNESS IS PASSING AND THE TRUE LIGHT IS

ALREADY SHINING. NOW WATCH THIS ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A

CHRISTIAN IN THE LIGHT BUT HATES HIS BROTHER OR SISTER CALLS HIM

OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND CAN I TELL YOU IT DIDN'T SAY ONLY IF

YOU KNOW THEM. CALLING OUT YOUR BROTHER MINISTERS, YOUR SISTER

MINISTERS, YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST. YOU KNOW WHAT

I TELL PEOPLE? WHEN YOU GO TO SOMEONE'S PAGE, YOU'RE A GUEST.

UNLESS IT'S A PAGE THAT IS THERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO HAVE DEBATES,

RIGHT? IT'S SOME PODCASTER OR SOMETHING. THAT MIGHT BE IF

THEY'RE WANTING DISCORD DEBATES. THAT'S HOW THESE LOT OF THESE

PODCASTERS, NEWS STATIONS, THEY GET THEIR RATINGS, THEY GET

THEIR MONEY, THE YOUTUBERS IS THE MORE YOU COMMENT. THEY WANT

YOU TO STIR UP. BUT IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO SOMEONE'S MINISTRY

PAGE OR CHRISTIAN PAGE, AND YOU ALWAYS GOT TO HAVE THE SAY THE

LAST SAY, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE RIGHT AND EVERYBODY ELSE HAS TO

BE WRONG. YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL THAT YOU'RE NOT FALLING INTO

THIS. IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN, BUT YOU HATE YOUR

BROTHER, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO HATE? DETEST, RIGHT? YOU'RE

STILL IN DARKNESS AND ANYONE WHO LOVES THEIR BROTHER AND SISTER

LIVES IN THE LIGHT AND THERE IS NOTHING TO THEM THAT MAKES THEM

STUMBLE. I HAVE WATCHED PEOPLE IN MARRIAGE. I'VE WATCHED

CHILDREN, WHY THEY DON'T GET BLESSED KIDS. I'VE WATCHED

MARRIAGES END UP IN SEPARATION, DIVORCE. THE MARRIAGE COUNSELING

ROOM IS BECAUSE SOMEBODY GETS OUT OF LOVE. AND THEY START

STUMBLING. I'VE WATCHED CHRISTIANS WHO LOVE GOD, THEY

RAISE THEIR HANDS, THEY'VE DEDICATED THEIR CHILDREN, THEY

BAPTIZE THEMSELVES, THEY COME THROUGH THE PRAYER LINE EVERY

NEW YEAR'S EVE SERVICE AND GET LUBED UP LIKE A GREASE PIG. BUT

THEN THEY GET OUT OF HERE AND THEY WALK OUT OF LOVE AND THEN

THEY START WONDERING WHY THEY STUMBLE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

YOU DON'T SEE BROTHER AND SISTER SO AND SO ANYMORE BECAUSE

THEY'RE HARDLY EVEN SERVING OR THEY'RE NOT SERVING GOD ANYMORE.

AND A LOT OF IT IS THEY VIOLATED THE FOUNDATION OF THE CHRISTIAN

WALK OF LOVE AND HONOR. MARK IT DOWN. MARK IT DOWN. HE SAID,

"YOU'LL STUMBLE IF YOU GET OUT OF LOVE. "BUT ANYONE WHO HATES

HIS BROTHER OR SISTER "IS IN THE DARKNESS. "AND HE WALKS AROUND

IN THE DARKNESS "AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING

"BECAUSE THE DARKNESS HAS BLINDED THEM." I WANNA TELL YOU,

THIS SUPPOSEDLY IS A TRUE STORY. BUT THERE WAS AN ACTOR WHO WAS

PLAYING THE PART OF JESUS IN A PASSION PLAY. I PLAYED JESUS, I

KNOW. CAN YOU SEE THE RESEMBLANCE? LET ME TAKE OFF MY

GLASSES. JUST IMAGINE ME WITH MATTHEW'S BEARD AND YOU COULD

SEE THE RESEMBLANCE. NOW, SO THIS GUY, THIS ACTOR WAS PLAYING

JESUS IN A PASSION PLAY. AND AS HE CARRIED HIS CROSS UP THE

HILL, ONE OF THE TOURISTS BEGAN TO HECKLE HIM. BEGAN TO SHOUT

INSULTS AT THIS GUY PLAYING JESUS. FINALLY, THIS IS A TRUE

STORY, FINALLY THE ACTOR HAD TAKEN ALL HE COULD TAKE. HE

THREW DOWN THE CROSS, WALKED OVER TO THE TOURIST AND PUNCHED

HIM OUT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, THAT'S WHAT JESUS WOULD DO.

AFTER THE PLAY WAS OVER, THE DIRECTOR TOLD HIM, LISTEN, I

KNOW THAT GUY WAS OFF, BUT I CAN'T CONDONE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

YOU'RE PLAYING THE PART OF JESUS, SO DON'T DO ANYTHING LIKE

THAT AGAIN. AND SO THE GUY PLAYING JESUS PROMISED AND SAID,

I WON'T DO THAT. BUT THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME HECKLER CAME BACK

AND WAS WORSE THAN BEFORE. AND FINALLY THE ACTOR EXPLODED

'CAUSE HE COULDN'T CONTROL HIS ANGER, PUNCHED HIM OUT AGAIN. SO

THE DIRECTOR SAID, THAT'S IT, I HAVE TO FIRE YOU. WE'RE GONNA

HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE PLAY. WE CAN'T HAVE YOU BEHAVING LIKE

THAT. COME ON ONLINE. WE CAN'T HAVE YOU BEHAVING LIKE THAT

WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING THE PART OF JESUS. AND THE ACTOR BEGGED HIM,

"PLEASE JUST GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE, ONE MORE CHANCE. I

REALLY NEED THIS JOB AND I CAN HANDLE IT. I WILL STAY IN LOVE."

SO THE DIRECTOR DECIDED TO GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE. SO THE NEXT

DAY HE WAS CARRYING HIS CROSS UP THE STREET, AND SURE ENOUGH, THE

SAME HECKLER CAME AGAIN. AND YOU COULD TELL THAT THE ACTOR WAS

REALLY TRYING TO CONTROL HIMSELF. IMAGINE PASTOR HANK.

BUT THE HECKLER WAS ABOUT TO GET THE BEST OF HIM AGAIN. AND SO

HIS TEETH, HE CLENCHED HIS FIST, THE GUY PLAYING JESUS,

GRINDED HIS TEETH. FINALLY, THE MAN PLAYING JESUS

SPOKE UP AND LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, I'M

GONNA SEE YOU AFTER THE RESURRECTION.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

NOW, NOW I GOT A SIMILAR STORY I'LL TELL YOU IN JUST A MINUTE.

I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO SHARE. DON'T JUDGE ME. BUT WHY DID I

SHARE THAT STORY? BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE PROFESS TO BE

CHRISTIANS. WE PROFESS TO BE CHRISTLIKE. WE PROFESS TO ACT

LIKE JESUS. IN OUR OWN MINDS, WE THINK THAT WE'VE ARRIVED. OH,

WE'RE SO CHRISTLIKE. OH, THAT PERSON'S SO GODLY. THEN YOU

WATCH 'EM, AS SOON AS THEY GET IN THE PARKING LOT, THEY'RE

ARGUING OVER THE PREACHER'S SERMON. OH, SEE, YOU KNOW IT,

YOU DO IT. YOU GO TO VILLAGE SIN AND YOU SIN, TALKING ABOUT HOW

BAD PASTOR HANK'S PREACHING IS. AND YOU DIDN'T LIKE THIS AND YOU

DIDN'T LIKE THAT. AND DID YOU NOTICE HIS HIGH COLLARS? AND DID

YOU NOTICE, I MEAN, HIS, I DON'T KNOW, HIS SHOES ARE SO

EXPENSIVE. I'M WEARING THE KIRK HERBSTREET SHOES OF GAME DAY.

THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY'S WEARING. I LIKE THEM, THEY'RE

COMFORTABLE. THANK YOU, PASTOR DODJI. NOW WATCH. WE PROFESS TO

BE CHRISTIANS, TO BEHAVE CHRISTLIKE, BUT YET WE TEND TO

BE LIKE THIS GUY PLAYING JESUS. WE ALL ACT CHRISTIAN UNTIL

SOMEBODY CROSSES US. WE TEND TO LOSE OUR COMPOSURE AND BEHAVE

MUCH IN THE SAME WAY LIKE HE DID. NOW LET'S LOOK AT 1

1 Corinthians 12:31

CORINTHIANS 12:31. THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT WE ARE TO EXERCISE

OUR LOVE IN HOW WE TREAT GOD AND HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER. LOOK

AT 1 CORINTHIANS 12:31. NOW WATCH THIS, "BUT COVET EARNESTLY

1 Corinthians 12:31

THE BEST GIFTS." BUT I'M GONNA SHOW YOU THE BEST WAY. I'M GONNA

SHOW YOU THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY. THIS IS THE APOSTLE PAUL

SPEAKING. NOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO LITERALLY GO TO THE NEXT

CHAPTER. SO IT'S LIKE THEY DIDN'T HAVE CHAPTER AND VERSES,

BUT THIS WOULD BE THE NEXT VERSE. LOOK AT 1 CORINTHIANS

1 Corinthians 13:1

13:1. HERE'S THE MORE EXCELLENT WAY. "THOUGH I SPEAK WITH

TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS." I SPEAK IN TONGUES OR I SPEAK IN

MY NATIVE TONGUE. IF I SPEAK IN SWAHILI OR WHATEVER, AND ANGELS,

AND I DON'T HAVE LOVE, THEN I AM BECOME A SOUNDING BRASS OR A

TINGLING CYMBAL. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE, WHEN THEY GET OUT OF THE

LOVE WALK, THEY START BICKERING, THEY START FIGHTING AMONG

FAMILY, AMONG MARRIAGES, AMONG CHRISTIAN RELATIONSHIPS, AT THE

JOB. IT JUST BECOMES A BUNCH OF NOISE. IF WE WOULD STAY IN THE

MOST EXCELLENT WAY, WHICH IS LOVE, AND DON'T GET OUT OF THE

LOVE WALK, THEN WE'LL SEE THAT LOVE DOES WORK. RIGHT? IF GOD'S

LOVE DOESN'T FAIL, IF YOU STAY IN THAT LOVE, GUESS WHAT, I

BELIEVE THAT YOU'LL SEE CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND THINGS NOT

FAIL EITHER. BUT YOU GOTTA STAY IN LOVE. I GOTTA STAY IN LOVE.

NOW, HOW MANY REMEMBER THAT STORY I JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT

GUY PLAYING JESUS? SO MATTHEW, HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN THEY WERE

PLAYING DIRTY AT THAT ONE SCHOOL? YOU WERE THE

QUARTERBACK, STARTING QUARTERBACK. WAS THAT YOUR

SOPHOMORE YEAR, JUNIOR YEAR? JUNIOR YEAR, SO IT WAS HIS

JUNIOR YEAR. SO WE WENT UP TO THIS ONE CITY WHERE THEY WERE

PLAYING, MATTHEW WAS THE STARTING QUARTERBACK, AND THEY

WERE PLAYING SO DIRTY. THE REFS WERE LITERALLY LETTING THE

OPPOSING TEAM, YOU COULD TELL THE REFS WERE GOING FOR THE

OPPOSING TEAM THAT MATTHEW WAS PLAYING. AND IT GOT TO THE POINT

WHERE ONE OF THE PLAYERS, I THINK IT WAS THE RUNNING BACK,

BROKE HIS LEG BECAUSE THEY HIT HIM. REMEMBER THAT? THAT GAME,

BROKE HIS LEG, ANOTHER ONE FRACTURED SOMETHING ELSE,

ANOTHER ONE A CONCUSSION. AND THEN FINALLY, IT WAS AFTER ABOUT

FOUR OR FIVE TIMES OF PLAYERS GETTING CARRIED OFF THE FIELD

BECAUSE THE REFS WEREN'T DOING THEIR JOB. I WAS LOSING IT. THEY

HIT MATTHEW SO HARD, BLINDSIDED HIM ON A DIRTY PLAY, THEY DIDN'T

CALL IT. I ROSE UP AND I SAID, "HEY, REFS! "HOW MANY MORE

PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED "BEFORE YOU'RE GONNA DO YOUR

JOB?" AND THE GUY WAS A LITTLE SHORT GUY AND ONLY DRAWING

ATTENTION BECAUSE I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT, I CALLED HIM.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

SO I'M STANDING THERE ON THE SIDELINES. I MEAN, I WENT OFF

OUT OF THE STANDS. I CAME DOWN THERE. I GOT RIGHT OUT THERE BY

THE SIDE. I SAID, "SIR, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HOLD THESE PEOPLE

ACCOUNTABLE? THIS IS A DIRTY GAME, AND I'M NOT GOING TO STAND

FOR THIS." AND THEY JUST ABOUT TOOK OUT MY SON. HE GOES, "YOU

KNOW WHAT THIS LITTLE REF SAID?" HE HAD ENOUGH GUMPTION TO LOOK

AT ME AND SAY, "HEY, DO YOU NEED A REFUND ON THAT TICKET?" I

LOOKED AT HIM AND I SAID, "YOU LISTEN TO ME, TATTOO!" REMEMBER

THE LITTLE GUY ON FANTASY ISLAND? "HEY BOSS, LOOK, THEY'RE

PLAYING TATTOO, LOOK IT UP." FANTASY ISLAND, HE WAS ABOUT

THIS TALL. HE WAS A LITTLE GUY, TATTOO, "HEY BOSS, THE..." I

SAID, "YOU LISTEN TO ME, TATTOO! YOU WANNA MEET ME IN THE PARKING

LOT AND WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION?" AND I HEAR BRENDA,

"HANK, GET UP HERE!" HE'S LOOKING AT ME, HE'S SHAKING,

I'M READY TO KNOCK HIM OUT. BUT I HEARD THE VOICE OF MY WIFE,

"HANK, GET UP HERE, I'M GONNA KNOCK YOU OUT!" NO, SHE DIDN'T

SAY THAT, BUT SHE TOLD ME TO GET UP THERE, SO I GET BACK.

I'M LIKE, "BRENDA, I'M GONNA MEET THAT GUY." SHE GOES, "NO,

YOU'RE NOT, HANK. YOU ARE KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD. DO

YOU WANT YOUR NAME IN THE PAPER THAT YOU WENT TO JAIL?"

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

I SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T CARE. I'LL THINK ABOUT IT

LATER." BUT THANK GOD SHE PULLED ME BACK. SOMETIMES WE NEED THAT.

SOMETIMES THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL DO THE SAME THING TO US. LIKE,

"HEY, YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF LOVE. DON'T DO THAT. DON'T SAY

THAT. DON'T ACT THAT WAY." YOU KNOW WHERE PASTOR BRENDA'S

HELPING ME, AND I'VE GOTTEN A LOT BETTER, IS IN TRAFFIC.

'CAUSE SHE'S LIKE, "HANK, THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU." I'M LIKE,

"WELL, BRENDA, I FEEL BETTER. I FEEL BETTER LETTING THAT GRANDMA

KNOW WHO CAN'T EVEN LOOK OVER HER STEERING WHEEL THAT I'M

REALLY MAD 'CAUSE SHE'S GOING 20 MILES AN HOUR." I WANT GRANNY TO

KNOW. I'M NOT WAITING IN OLD AGE UNTIL I GET TO HEAVEN TO TELL

HER, "HEY, YOU'RE THE LADY THAT ALWAYS..." YOU KNOW, NEVER MIND.

BUT THE POINT IS THERE'S A MORE EXCELLENT WAY. DID YOU ALL SEE

THAT POINT? AND I'M NOT SAYING GO AROUND TELLING PEOPLE THEY'RE

TATTOOED. IT'S A TRUE STORY. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT ROMANS 12:18.

Romans 12:18

WE'RE COMMANDED IN SCRIPTURE TO DISPLAY ACTS OF LOVE. I KNOW

NONE OF YOU WOULD EVER SAY THAT, DO THAT. MOM. ALL RIGHT, ROMANS

Romans 12:18

12:18. IF IT'S POSSIBLE, IF IT'S POSSIBLE, IF IT'S POSSIBLE, AS

MUCH AS YOU LIE IN YOU, LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH ALL MEN. NOTICE

HE SAID, AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN'T AGREE WITH A LIBERAL

LOONY. YOU CAN'T AGREE WITH A COMPROMISED RHINO. YOU CAN'T

LIVE PEACEFULLY WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO

INFILTRATE CULTURE AND LITERALLY TRY TO RESET IT THROUGH

PERVERSION, COMPROMISE, SOCIALISM, MARXISM, ISLAM. YOU

CANNOT, NO, I'M NOT CALLING YOU TO ARMS. I'M CALLING YOU TO

STAND UP, VOTE, SPEAK OUT, SPEAK UP, GET INVOLVED. AND THAT IS A

WAY TO ACT PEACEFULLY. WHEN THE MAJORITY, IF THE MAJORITY OF

AMERICAN CHRISTIANS AND PATRIOTS WOULD STAND UP, WE WOULDN'T HAVE

THE MINORITY GROUPS THAT ARE SEEMING LIKE THEY'RE SO STRONG

HAVING AS MUCH INFLUENCE AS THEY HAVE. BUT OUR GOAL IS, THE

REASON I SPEAK LIKE THIS IS BECAUSE I WANT YOU AND ME AND

THIS COUNTRY TO LIVE PEACEFULLY. LOOK AT EPHESIANS 4 VERSE 2. IT

Ephesians 4:2

SAYS, "BE HUMBLE AND GENTLE." BOY, IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST LEARN

TO BE HUMBLE. YOU KNOW THAT SAYING, "IT'S HARD TO BE HUMBLE

WHEN YOU'RE AS GREAT AS ME," RIGHT, OR "GREAT AS YOU." BUT

THINK ABOUT BEING HUMBLE. YOU KNOW, THEY WERE TELLING ME,

LADY T WAS TELLING ME ABOUT THE HEISMAN GUY THAT WON. WAS HE THE

INDIANA GUY THAT WON? MAN, HE'S A GREAT GUY. I MEAN, I DON'T

KNOW WHAT HE'S LIKE OUTSIDE OF THE FIELD, BUT YOU KNOW, HE WAS

GIVING GLORY TO GOD AND BEING HUMBLE. YOU KNOW WHAT IRRITATES

ME SOMETIMES IS WHEN THEY INTERVIEW PEOPLE. "YEAH, I GOT

GREAT HANDS, AND MY HANDS ARE THE BEST HANDS IN ALL OF THE

LEAGUE, AND I KNEW WHEN THE BALL WOULD COME, I WOULD SHOW PEOPLE

WHAT I COULD DO IN MY GIFTINGS." GET OFF THE CAMERA! HAVE YOU

EVER SEEN PEOPLE LIKE THAT? YOU EVER BEEN AROUND PEOPLE THAT

THEY'RE JUST SO FULL OF THEMSELVES? YOU KNOW, THERE IS

SOMETHING THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO US. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?

HUMILITY. I REMEMBER YEARS AGO, MAN, I WAS REBUKING THE DEVIL

AND HE WASN'T BUKING. HOW MANY EVER TRIED TO REBUKE THE DEVIL

ONLY HE DIDN'T BUKE. AND I WENT TO GOD, I WAS SO MAD, I SAID,

GOD, I AM REBUKING THE DEVIL, BUT HE AIN'T BUKING. AND GOD

SAID, THIS AIN'T THE DEVIL. WELL, WHAT OTHER ENTITY IS IT?

THE LORD SAID, IT'S ME, NOT ME, HIM. I SAID, THIS IS YOU? HE

SAID, THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE I RESIST THE PROUD, AND I GIVE

GRACE TO THE HUMBLE, AND I'M TRYING TO TEACH YOU SOMETHING

BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WANTED TO BE KEPT ON A SHORT

LEASH. I SAID, I DID SAY THAT. I SAID, WELL, WHEN WAS I PRIDEFUL?

I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE LORD SHOWED ME. I WAS JUST

STARTING TO COME INTO, YOU KNOW, DOING MORE BIGGER MEETINGS AND

THE NUMBERS WERE A LOT, YOU KNOW, LARGE AND BLAH, BLAH,

BLAH. AND THEY WERE READING MY BIO. THIS WAS, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL

YEARS AGO. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN THEY WERE READING, I DON'T

KNOW WHY MY LEFT SIDE OF MY MOUTH WENT, BUT I FELT IT AND I

KNEW IT. AND GOD SAID, I SAW THAT. AND I SAID, LORD, ALL THAT

WAS WAS A LITTLE. AND HE TOOK ME BACK TO PROVERBS, THERE ARE

THINGS THAT GOD HATES, AND ONE OF THEM IS A PROUD LOOK. AND HE

SAID, I'M DEALING WITH YOU. I'M LIKE, OH, MY GOODNESS. OKAY, SO

LET'S GO ON AND TALK ABOUT YOU. BE HUMBLE AND GENTLE. BE PATIENT

WITH EACH OTHER. MAKING ALLOWANCE. NOW HERE'S THE

REASON. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE GET INTO ARGUMENTS. YOU KNOW WHY

PEOPLE GET INTO ARGUMENTS? KIDS WITH THEIR SPOUSE, THEIR

PARENTS, PARENTS WITH THEIR KIDS, RIGHT? SPOUSES, YOUR BOSS,

OTHER CHRISTIANS, IS BECAUSE WE GET OUT OF LOVE, WE GET OUT OF

HONOR, AND THEN IT SAYS THIS, "BE PATIENT WITH EACH OTHER, BUT

MAKE AN ALLOWANCE FOR EACH OTHER'S FAULTS." YOU KNOW,

BRENDA AND I, SHE TO THIS DAY STILL DOES CERTAIN THINGS THAT

IRRITATE ME. AND I'VE BEEN MARRIED ALMOST 37 YEARS, AND SHE

CAN'T FIND NOTHING THAT IRRITATES HER. BUT THE POINT IS,

NO DON'T YOU, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, THAT'S

IRRITATING ME. DON'T SIDE WITH, YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, DON'T

SIDE WITH HER. BUT WATCH THIS. NO, IT'S MUTUAL, BUT WE MADE AN

AGREEMENT A WHILE BACK, AND THAT IS THIS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU

NOTICED THIS, BUT WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 37 YEARS. HOW MANY OF

YOU GOT AT LEAST THAT OR OLDER? HAVE YOU NOTICED THE OLDER YOU

GET, YOU KIND OF HAVE THESE LITTLE SPATS? AND THEY'RE NOT

ARGUMENTS, THEY'RE JUST LIKE, HEY, YOU FORGOT TO CLOSE THE

CUPBOARD. I HIT MY HEAD. OH, WELL, YOU FORGOT TO PUT THE

TOOTHPASTE CAP ON. WELL, I WAS DONE WITH IT. RIGHT, YOU FORGOT

TO SHUT THE TOILET LID. BRENDA, IT'S MORE WORK. WE HAVE TO LIFT

IT UP AND PUT IT BACK DOWN. YOU GUYS GET TO HAVE IT DOWN. IT'S

MORE WORK. NO, LISTEN, I'VE BEEN TRAINED. I DON'T LEAVE IT UP.

MEN, IF YOU'RE MARRIED, DON'T LEAVE THE LID UP. AND ALL THE

WOMEN SAID, AMEN. THERE, I HELPED YOU OUT.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET BACK TO THIS. MAKE ALLOWANCE FOR EACH

OTHER'S FAULTS. OKAY, CAN YOU JUST BE HUMBLE, BE GENTLE, STAY

IN LOVE? IS IT WORTH AN ARGUMENT? IS IT WORTH SOMEBODY

SLEEPING IN THE OTHER ROOM? YOU KNOW, BRENDA AND I, WE'VE BEEN

MARRIED 37 YEARS. WE MADE A DEAL, MAN. AND I REMEMBER WE

FIRST GOT MARRIED. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE SAID IS, "BRENDA,

WE'RE GONNA MAKE A DEAL. "NOBODY LEAVES THE HOUSE. "WE GET MAD AT

EACH OTHER. YOU'RE WELCOME TO COOL OFF IF YOU WANT, BUT I'M

NOT LEAVING THE KINGSIZE BED. I'M THE KING."

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

NO, IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT?

KINGS SLEEP IN KINGSIZE, QUEENS SLEEP IN QUEENS. WHERE DO

PRINCES, WHAT KIND OF MATTRESSES, THEY MUST SLEEP IN

A, PRINCES OR PRINCES MUST SLEEP IN A HAIR MATTRESS. LIKE A HAIR

MATTRESS, LIKE AN AIR MATTRESS, HAIR, HAIR, HAIR MATTRESS, HAIR,

HAIR MATTRESS. SO ANYWAY, SO LET'S GET BACK TO THIS MESSAGE.

SO WE MADE A DEAL. NOBODY'S ALLOWED TO LEAVE, WE DON'T DO

THAT. WE DON'T, SHE SAID SOMETHING, YEAH, YOU DON'T

LEAVE, I DON'T LEAVE. GET IT RIGHT, DON'T CALL, LEAVE THE

HOUSE. NO, YOU DON'T DO THAT. WE DON'T DO THAT. IF YOU WANNA GO

OUT IN THE OTHER ROOM, COOL OFF. IF I WANNA GO DOWN, COOL OFF,

PRAY, GET WITH GOD, WHATEVER, THAT'S OKAY. BUT IT'S

SHORT-LIVED. AND WE DON'T DO THAT, BUT HERE'S THE POINT. THE

POINT IS, WE MADE A DEAL. WHAT IS MY POINT? BRENDA, WHAT'S MY

POINT? I HAD SUCH A MATTRESS JOKE, I CAN'T THINK ABOUT. SO WE

WERE TALKING ABOUT MAKE ROOM FOR EACH OTHER'S FAULTS, DON'T

LEAVE, OH, SO WE GOT, BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED OR WHILE WE WERE

MARRIED OR WHATEVER, WE SAID, HEY, LET'S JUST REALLY WORK ON

WALKING IN LOVE. LET'S JUST REALLY WORK ON THIS IN OUR LOVE

WALK TOGETHER. ALL RIGHT, WE SHOOK ON IT, I DON'T REMEMBER.

AND ONE DAY WE GOT IN AN ARGUMENT, AND BRENDA, WE HAD

BEEN MARRIED LIKE, 'CAUSE WE WERE LIVING IN AN APARTMENT AND

SO IT WAS OUR FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE, WE HAD A BIG ARGUMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT, IT WAS OVER, BUT ANYWAY, SHE GOES, I'M

GETTING UP AND I'M GOING OUT INTO THE LIVING ROOM. I SAID,

FINE. SHE SAID, FINE. I SAID, FINE. SHE SAID, FINE. I SAID,

FINE. AND SHE'S YELLING OUT IN THE LIVING ROOM. FINE. I STILL

HEAR YOU BRENDA. FINE. RIGHT? YOU GOT TO GET THE LAST WORD IN.

SO SHE'S OUT THERE FINE. RIGHT? AND I'M IN THERE IN MY KING SIZE

BED OR NO, I THINK WE HAD A KING SIZE. I THINK WE HAD A CHEAP

THING. WE SAW A HEADBOARD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FROM ONE OF

THOSE CHEAP MOTELS. IT WAS, OH MAN, IT COST US $8, BUT HEY, AT

LEAST THEY WERE SELLING IT AND THEN THEY'RE SALE. BUT ANYWAY,

SO SHE'S OUT THERE. NOW I'M IN THERE GOING, "SEE, GOD, SPEAK TO

HER." HOW MANY EVER DO THAT WHEN YOU GET IN AN ARGUMENT WITH

SOMEBODY, GOD, ALWAYS SPEAK TO THEM. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. LORD,

HELP THEM, THEY'RE OUT OF LOVE. THEY'RE OUT OF THE LOVE WALK.

NO, YOU GOTTA HUMBLE YOURSELF. SO I'M IN THERE AND I'M PRAYING

IN MY INCREDIBLE SELF-RIGHTEOUS, LORD, TEACH HER. TEACH HER,

LORD. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR, "AHH!" SHE SCREAMS. I

MEAN, LIKE BLOOD CURLING, SKIRLING, WHATEVER THEY CALL IT.

SCREAM. I GET UP. I'M LIKE, "WHAT IN THE WORLD?" I GO OUT

THERE. I GO, "WHAT? WHAT, BABY? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" WE'RE HOLDING

IT. SHE'S SHAKING. "OOO!" I'M LIKE, "WHAT? DID SOMEBODY TRY TO

GET IN HERE? I'LL TAKE THEM OUT." SHE GOES, "YEAH, SOMETHING

CAME IN THE ROOM." I SAID, "WHAT, A DEMON?" "THAT!" "WHAT?"

"THAT!" "WHAT'S THAT?" AND I LOOK AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE JUNE

BUGS. A JUNE BUG BROKE THE SPIRIT OF STRIFE. AND WE WENT

FROM JUNE BUG TO LOVE BUG. SO WHAT'S THE MORAL OF THAT STORY?

DON'T LET THINGS BUG YOU. BOY, I CAN FEEL THAT.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

DOUG, I SAW YOU SMIRK. I GOT YOU, I DID, I SAW YOU. AND EVEN

CRAIG WAS OVER THERE. CRAIG, HIS STOMACH MOVES. NO, HE DOESN'T

SHOW ANY. OKAY, NOW LET'S GO ON. WE GOT BUSINESS TO TALK ABOUT.

BE PATIENT WITH EACH OTHER. MAKE ALLOWANCE FOR EACH OTHER'S

FAULTS BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE. NOW LOOK AT HEBREWS 12, VERSE 14 AND

Hebrews 12:14

15. NOW THIS ONE IS A REALLY POWERFUL ONE. FOLLOW PEACE WITH

ALL MEN AND HOLINESS BECAUSE WITHOUT WHICH NO MAN SHALL SEE

THE LORD. NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT. LOOKING DILIGENTLY, LEST ANY MAN

FAIL OF THE GRACE OF GOD. DON'T LET ANY ROOT OF BITTERNESS

SPRING UP OR TROUBLE YOU. NOW, LOOK AT THAT WORD, ROOT OF

BITTERNESS, SPRING UP AND TROUBLE. WHAT IS BITTERNESS?

I WANNA HEAR YOUR DEFINITION OF BITTERNESS. I'LL

ASK THIS SECTION, WHAT'S BITTERNESS? NOBODY KNOWS?

HOLDING UNFORGIVENESS, GREAT ANSWER. OVER HERE.

YOU WANNA ADD TO THAT? GIVE ME A MANIFESTATION OF

BITTERNESS. HUH? ANGER. HOW ABOUT UP THERE? RESENTMENT.

STRIFE. HUH? LOOSE SIGHT. PRIDE. HOLDING ON TO THE PAST. BAD

ATTITUDES. HOW ABOUT YOU ONLINE? WRITE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I'LL

GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT. IT'S BEING NEGATIVE. HOLDING ON TO

THE PAST. NOT GETTING OVER HOW YOU WERE TREATED, HOW YOU SHOULD

HAVE BEEN TREATED. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, WHAT THEY DID TO YOU.

AND PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT BITTERNESS IS CONNECTED. IT'S A

ROOT. AND NOTICE WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. YOU GET OUT OF

HONOR, WE GET OUT OF LOVE, EVEN WITH THOSE THAT HAVE HURT US.

OKAY, I KNOW PEOPLE THAT STILL TALK ABOUT WHAT SOMEBODY DID TO

THEM. AND THEY HAVE TO KEEP BRINGING IT UP, AND BRINGING

THEM UP, AND BRINGING THAT PERSON UP, BRINGING UP THAT EX,

BRINGING UP THAT SITUATION, RIGHT? WHETHER IT BE MARRIAGE,

RELATIONSHIPS, JOBS, BOSSES, FORMER CHURCHES, FORMER PASTORS,

WHATEVER. AND WHEN THEY'RE DOING IT, WHEN THEY'RE SPEAKING IT,

RIGHT? THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THE LOVE WALK, AND WHAT'S

HAPPENING IS THEY'RE LETTING SOMETHING TAKE ROOT IN THEM AND

EVEN AFFECTING THEIR BODIES. IT'S A ROOT. AND NOTICE IT SAID,

"DON'T LET IT SPRING UP." DON'T. QUIT REHEARSING IT. WHO CARES IF

THAT BOYFRIEND OF YOURS, I MEAN I KNOW IT HURT AT THE TIME, BUT

QUIT REHEARSING IT. DID YOU BREAK UP? IS IT OVER? IT'S OVER.

QUIT REHEARSING IT OR YOU'RE GONNA GET INTO BITTERNESS. AND

THEN THE RIGHT PERSON WHO COMES ALONG, THEY'RE GONNA GET ALL

YOUR GARBAGE. DON'T. IT SAYS, LET'S LOOK AT IT AGAIN. I WANT

EVERYBODY LOOKING AT THIS VERSE. LOOK DILIGENTLY, LEST ANY MAN

FAIL THE GRACE OF GOD, LEST ANY ROOT OF BITTERNESS, IT SPRINGS

UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND IT BEGINS TO TROUBLE YOU. I'VE WATCHED

CHRISTIANS WHEN THEY START GOING DOWN THE SLIPPERY SLOPE OF WHERE

THEY HAVE AN INCONSISTENCY IN THEIR WALK, THEIR TALK, THE

BLESSING OF GOD, TROUBLE STARTS SETTING IN. MOST OF THE TIME

IT'S BECAUSE THEY LET BITTERNESS BEGIN TO SPRING UP. AND IT

BEGINS TO TAKE ROOT. THEREBY MANY ARE DEFILED. NOW LOOK AT

PROVERBS 14, VERSE 30. WE TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT FRUITS OF

Proverbs 14:30

BITTERNESS. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PROVERBS 14:30 TALKS

Proverbs 14:30

ABOUT, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT, IS IT USES THE WORD ENVY. OKAY,

WHEN PEOPLE ARE BITTER, THEY START GETTING INTO ENVYING,

RIGHT? WELL, I WISH I COULD HAVE WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAS, BUT OH

NO, MY JOB AND MY BOSS AND MY EX-WIFE AND MY PAST CHURCH

EXPERIENCE ISN'T LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE'S. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M

DOING AND WHAT I'VE DONE THAT EVERYTHING ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME.

I MEAN, IF YOU WANNA MAKE EXTRA MONEY, PUT THAT

IN A SONG AND BE A COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

RIGHT? SO COUNTRY MUSIC IS A BUNCH OF BITTERNESS. RIGHT? MY

DOG LEFT. NO, MY DOG. MY DOG AIN'T WAGGIN' HIS TAIL BECAUSE

EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A FAIL AND I JUST WANNA YELL BECAUSE

EVERYTHING HAS GONE TO HELL. OKAY, SO, YOU KNOW, I MEAN,

THAT'S A GREAT SONG. I COULD FEEL THAT, THAT'S A COUNTRY

MUSIC SONG. ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT AN ACHY, BREAKY HEART WAS

ABOUT? HIS BITTER EXPERIENCE, RIGHT? OKAY, PROVERBS 14, VERSE

Proverbs 14:30

30, LET'S PUT THAT UP. NOW, THIS IS IMPORTANT. I'M ALMOST DONE

WITH MY MESSAGE. HOW DO YOU KNOW? WELL, IT'S KIND OF LIKE,

YOU KNOW, YOU COULD TELL. HIS FIRST DOWN IN 25 SCRIPTURES. YOU

KNOW, I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ONE OF THOSE SPORTS ANNOUNCERS. HIS

FIRST DOWN IN 10 OF THE 20-YARD LINE, NEBRASKA. THEY BREAK

HUDDLE, THEY COME OVER THE BALL. FIRST DOWN IN 24 MINUTES AND 25

SECONDS LEFT TO PLAY. RAY OLA, WE DON'T KNOW IF HE'S A

QUARTERBACK. RAY OLA, HANDS UNDERNEATH THE CENTER. HE ROLLS

AROUND TO THE RIGHT SIDE, HE HANDS IT OFF. HE HANDS IT OFF.

HE HANDS IT OFF TO JOHNSON, HE'S AROUND THE SIDE, TO THE 20, 25,

HE BREAKS THE TACKLE, 25, 30, 35, HE'S TO THE 40. ANYWAY,

WE'LL KEEP GOING, BUT THAT'S HOW IT IS WITH MY PREACHING. HE'S AT

THE FIRST CLOSING, THE SECOND CLOSING, HE'S AROUND THE RIGHT

SIDE, BRENDA'S SAYING AMEN TO GET HIM TO STOP. OKAY, ANYWAY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

ALL RIGHT, PROVERBS 14, VERSE 30. I JUST THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU

Proverbs 14:30

SOME PLAY BY PLAY. A SOUND HEART IS THE LIFE OF THE FLESH. BUT

WATCH WHAT ENVY, WATCH WHAT BITTERNESS, WHY IT'S A ROOT, IT

BEGINS TO ROT THE BONES. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE EVEN SAID THAT

THERE ARE CERTAIN DISEASES THAT HAS RESULTED IN PEOPLE GETTING

STRESSED OUT, WIGGED OUT. I LOVE WHAT KAT KERR TEACHES. YOU KNOW

WHAT SHE TEACHES? LOOSE THINGS FROM YOUR SOUL. LOOSE, KAT IF

YOU'RE WATCHING, YOU TAUGHT THE BODY OF CHRIST BEAUTIFULLY.

LOOSE BITTERNESS FROM YOUR SOUL. IN FACT, YOU OUGHT TO DO IT

RIGHT NOW. I LOOSE ALL BITTERNESS. I LOOSE ALL

UNFORGIVENESS. I LOOSE ALL ENVY, STRIFE, WORRY, DEPRESSION, FEAR.

I LOOSE IT FROM MY BODY, FROM MY LIFE, AND I BIND TO ME

RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. AND YOU COULD DO

THAT WITH YOUR BODY. I LOOSE THOSE SYMPTOMS FROM MY BODY. GET

OUT! AND I BIND TO MY BODY WHAT YESHUA PAID FOR. I LOOSE HEALING

OVER ALL MY FLESH. RIGHT? YOU PUT SUNTAN LOTION ON, RIGHT? PUT

SOME BALMOGILIAD LOTION ON. LUBE YOURSELF UP. I THINK I'M COMING

OUT WITH A BALMOGILIAD LOTION. WHEN YOU PUT IT ON, YOU SPEAK

THE WORD. ALL RIGHT, DON'T BEAT ME TO IT AND THEN MAKE MILLIONS

TO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BACK TO THE TABERNACLE. BUT NOTICE WHAT IT

SAYS. KEITH, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND START COMING THIS WAY. I

BETTER QUIT. I'M JUST ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND I'M NOT EVEN DONE

WITH MY MESSAGE. SHOULD I PREACH ANOTHER ONE ON THIS? 'CAUSE I

WANT TO TEACH YOU THERE'S DIFFERENT REVELATIONS OF LOVE

ACCORDING TO WHAT PAUL TAUGHT, WHAT JOHN TAUGHT, RIGHT? THERE'S

DIFFERENT, I MEAN, JOHN, THE APOSTLE, THEY TRIED TO BOIL HIM

IN HOT OIL. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU READ, WAS IT BRENDA, FOX'S BOOK

OF MARTYRS. IF YOU EVER READ THAT, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO

READ IT. YOU KNOW, GOD WILL PRESERVE YOU, HE'LL PRESERVE

YOUR LIFE FROM DESTRUCTION. BUT ONE THING THE BIBLE DOESN'T SAY

THAT HE'LL PRESERVE YOU FROM IS PERSECUTION. I KNOW WE DON'T

LIKE THAT, BUT. IT SAYS THAT GODLY IN CHRIST WILL SUFFER

PERSECUTION. RIGHT? SO A SOUND HEART IS THE LIFE OF THE FLESH,

BUT ENVY AND BITTERNESS AND UNFORGIVENESS AND ALL THAT, MAN,

IT CAN START AFFECTING YOUR HEALTH. DON'T LET CERTAIN THINGS

AFFECT YOUR HEALTH. ALL RIGHT, NOW I WANNA CLOSE WITH, LET'S

LOOK AT JOHN 13. I'LL JUST GONNA HAVE TO PREACH

ANOTHER 'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT REVELATION.

I DON'T MIND PREACHING ON LOVE AGAIN.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT? WOULD YOU LOVE THAT?

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

WOULD YOU LOVE THAT? NO, I HATE IT. OKAY, ANYWAY, THAT'S FINE,

THAT'S FINE. WE'LL WORK ON YOU. LOOK AT, I WANT YOU TO STAND

YOUR FEET. LOOK AT JOHN 13:34. THIS IS IMPORTANT. JOHN 13:34.

John 13:34 John 13:34

THANK YOU. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE, BY THE WAY, YOU'RE VISITING

TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME? I JUST WANT TO... ANYBODY HERE? THANK

YOU FOR BEING HERE. PRAISE GOD. WE APPRECIATE IT. WE LOVE YOU

BEING HERE. I INCORPORATED YOU IN THE MESSAGE THERE. WE LOVE

HAVING YOU. LET'S REALLY TRY. YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT BRENDA

AND I ARE DETERMINING THIS CHRISTMAS IS WE ARE REALLY JUST

WANTING IT TO BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS THAT WE'VE EVER HAD

WITH OUR BOYS WITH EACH OTHER AND I THINK ONE OF THE WAYS THAT

YOU DO THAT IS YOU JUST DETERMINE THAT YOU'RE GONNA WALK

IN LOVE STAY IN LOVE RIGHT, DON'T LET THINGS TRY TO GET AT

YOUR PEACE WE NEED YOUR BOOK BRENDA. SHE'S ALMOST DONE

COMMANDING PEACE SO, ALL RIGHT. NOW LOOK AT THIS SCRIPTURE. I

WANT YOU TO SEE THIS JESUS IS SPEAKING AND SAYS A NEW

COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I'VE

LOVED YOU THAT YOU ALSO LOVE WHAT ONE ANOTHER NOT KNOW AND

HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE SAID IT ALREADY HE SAID LOVE WHO HOW

MANY TIMES HAS HE SAID IT TWICE WHO IS HE TALKING ABOUT ONE

ANOTHER NOW LET'S GO ON TO VERSE 35 BY THIS VERSE 35 JESUS

SPEAKING SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY CHRISTIANS YOU'RE MY

DISCIPLES IF YOU DO WHAT LOVE ONE ANOTHER HOW MANY TIMES DID

HE SAY THAT THREE TIMES SO HE'S TALKING ABOUT THREE TIMES LOVING

WHO ALL RIGHT NOW THIS IS THE MESSAGE THAT I WANT TO SAY TO

YOU NOTICE HE DIDN'T SAY LOVE THE WORLD IN THIS VERSE HE SAID

HE DIDN'T SAY HEY THE WORLD'S GONNA KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY

DISCIPLES IF YOU LOVE THEM PASTOR ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE

SHOULDN'T LOVE THE WORLD NO THE BIBLE SAYS WE'RE TO LOVE OUR

ENEMIES BUT JESUS THREE TIMES IS EMPHASIZING SOMETHING THAT IS

THE REASON THE BIBLE SAYS IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11 THAT THERE'S

PEOPLE THAT TAKE HOLY COMMUNION AND THEY'RE WEAK, THEY'RE SICK,

AND THEY DIE BECAUSE THEY CREATE AND THEY DON'T DISCERN THE

LORD'S BODY. THEY'RE INTO STRIFE, THEY'RE INTO DIVISION,

THEY HATE THEIR BROTHER, THEY CALL OUT THEIR BROTHER, THEY

CALL OUT THEIR SISTER. WE'RE NOT TALKING NANCY PELOSI CHUCK

SCHUMER SHIFTY SHIFT BIG FANNY FANNY OR WHATEVER NAME IS DOWN

IN GEORGIA ELITE ALICIA OR WHATEVER JANE OKAY, NO, THEY

THEY SIDE WITH WICKEDNESS AND I PRAY PRAYERS FOR THEM TO BE

REMOVED BUT BUT HERE'S THE POINT JESUS AIN'T PLAYING WHEN IT

COMES TO ONE ANOTHER HIS BODY FELLOW BRETHREN CHRISTIANS

BROTHERS AND SISTERS HE SAID THREE TIMES YOU ARE COMMANDED TO

LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE DO THEY WILL BE MORE

MERCIFUL AND LOVING TO THE SHIFTY SHIFTS TO THE DRAG

QUEENS, THE HOMOSEXUALS. WE SHOULD LOVE THEM, BUT THEN BE SO

DIVISIVE AGAINST PREACHERS WHO STAND, PEOPLE WHO STAND FOR

MORALS AND TRUTH AND WANT TO HONOR GOD, WANT TO HONOR THEIR

COUNTRY, WANT TO HONOR CHILDREN, WANT TO HONOR BOLDNESS THAT IS

NOT AFRAID TO PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LINE FOR THE SAKE OF

SOMEBODY ELSE, THE CURRENT GENERATION, FUTURE GENERATIONS

AND THEY'LL GET ON AND THEY'LL BE STRIFE RIDDEN. THEY'LL ATTACK

ONE ANOTHER AND BE MORE MERCIFUL AND LOVING TO THE HEATHENS THAN

THEY ARE THEIR FELLOW BROTHER AND SISTER IN CHRIST. AND JESUS

RECOGNIZES IT. AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, GOD HAS

REALLY BEEN DEALING WITH ME. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TELL YOU THE

NAME OF IT, BUT I'M WRITING IT. AND THE LORD'S BEEN DEALING WITH

ME, AND I HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M NOT GUILTY OF WHAT I'M

WRITING. BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH HOW WE TREAT THE BODY OF CHRIST.

MOSES, GOD LOVED HIM AS A FRIEND. HE SAW GOD FACE TO FACE,

MAN. GOD WOULD COME DOWN AND MEET WITH THE MAN. AND EVERYBODY

IN THE CHURCH WOULD WATCH AND STAND GOD WITH MAN AND MAN WITH

GOD. AND YET THAT MAN, GOD DIDN'T PLAY FAVORITES. HE STRUCK

THE ROCK AND GOT OUT OF LOVE. AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN 1

CORINTHIANS 10 THAT THAT ROCK THAT HE STRUCK WITH THE STICK

WAS CHRIST. AND IT SAYS YOU'RE NOT TO DO THAT. YOU'RE NOT, YOU

STRUCK GOD IN THE, GOD IN THE MANIFESTATION. WHEN WE RAIL

AGAINST EACH OTHER, WRITE NASTY THINGS, BE UNFORGIVING, AND YET

SO LOVING AND INVITING TO THE WOKE CULTURE AND IN THE NAME OF

TOLERANCE, AND YET I'M LIKE, COME ON, WHAT DO YOU THINK GOD

IS TELLING US RIGHT NOW? IF THE CHURCH WOULD JUST LOVE ONE

ANOTHER AND STAND WITH EACH OTHER, WE WOULD START SEEING A

SHIFT AND A CHANGE THAT REALLY BEGINS TO AFFECT US ON A DEEPER

LEVEL. FATHER, I PRAY FOR YOUR PEOPLE HERE TODAY. AND I ASK

YOU, ME INCLUDED, TO BRING US INTO A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF

HONOR, BUT OF ALSO LOVE. AND FATHER, WE ARE COMMANDED IN

SCRIPTURE TO WALK IN LOVE. AND I PRAY, ME INCLUDED, THAT LORD

THIS WEEK, WE WON'T GET OUT OF THE LOVE WALK. WE'LL BE PATIENT,

WE'LL BE KIND, WE'LL BE GENTLE, WE'LL BE HUMBLE. LORD, WE WILL

LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN OTHERS. AND WE'LL ALLOW THE LOVE OF GOD,

WHICH IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS TO NOT ONLY BE TOWARDS

YOU GOD, BUT ALSO TOWARDS OTHERS. I DIDN'T GET TO THE

SCRIPTURE FATHER, BUT THERE IS A SCRIPTURE I'LL SHARE NEXT WEEK

OR AFTER NEXT WEEK THAT TALKS ABOUT WE CAN STRETCH OUR LOVE,

WE CAN GROW IN LOVE AND GOD THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR. AND

I WORSHIP YOU AND I HONOR YOU FOR THAT. NOW I WANT TO DO THIS.

I WANT US JUST TO TAKE A MOMENT. IF THERE'S ANYBODY IN YOUR HEART

THAT YOU NEED TO FORGIVE, JUST SAY THIS, "LORD, I FORGIVE ALL

MEN. I FORGIVE ALL MEN. I HOLD NO GRUDGES, NO UNFORGIVENESS, NO

BITTERNESS IN MY HEART. I FORGIVE ALL MEN." NOW, MAYBE

YOU'RE HERE TODAY OR YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE AND YOU'VE NEVER

ASKED JESUS TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, TO BE THE LORD AND

THE SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE. I WANT YOU TO BE VERY BOLD. I WANT YOU

TO RAISE YOUR HAND. IF YOU SAY, "PREACHER, THAT'S ME," I WANT TO

BE FORGIVEN. I WANT JESUS TO COME INTO MY HEART AND FORGIVE

MY SINS. IS ANYBODY HERE? RAISE YOUR HAND, BE BOLD. BE BOLD,

ANYBODY HERE? ALL RIGHT, MAYBE ONLINE. LET'S ALL PRAY THIS

PRAYER TOGETHER. SAY, HEAVENLY FATHER, I FORGIVE ALL MEN. AND I

ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME OF ALL MY SIN. EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DONE.

AND WASHED ME CLEAN THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. THE BIBLE

SAYS, "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." SO

JESUS, I CALL UPON YOU. COME INTO MY HEART, FORGIVE ME OF MY

SINS, AND BE THE LORD OF MY LIFE. AND I'LL SERVE YOU THIS

DAY AND ALL THE LONG DAYS OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. AMEN. PASTOR KEITH,

DO YOU JUST HAVE ANNOUNCEMENTS OR ARE YOU GOOD? ALL RIGHT,

WELL, YOU'RE GOOD. SO I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,

IN THE NAME OF THE SON, AM I SUPPOSED TO GO THIS WAY? AND

IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I'LL SEE YOU AT

THE PULSE AND ON FLASHPOINT. GOD BLESS YOU.
