You can praise him for five minutes. I don't stop

the spirit here. This is eternal fire ministries. This is

eternal Fire ministries, a holy spirit ministry that's unextinguished. As

you can see. I just let the spirit of God flows.

You don't know where you can go when you let

the spirit of God flows. Thank God, we are delivered

from the bondage of religion. Ain't going back, and I

am going back to that satanic sistence. You can forget it. Yes,

who's your covering, Jesus, just like yours. I had to

be unfiltered from the system, Jesus. I'm not a system preacher.

I preach outside them. I'm sorry. That's why I can't

be controlled. I know some people disagree with me. I

know some people will disagree with me. They'll say you

need to be under recovering. But honey, let me tell

you something. God's got it covered.

Well.

God knows people to send at the appointed times. God

can even send a jackass. He can send a baby Hallodeen.

To remind you, I said the other day, Lord, I said,

why in the world is this process for me taking forever?

He said, because when you have a faith ministry, faith

has to be stretched. Yes, Yes, follow God, and I'm

willing for God. If God wants to stretch me out,

then it must be an honor. I can tell you

one thing through all of this, I've learned to be content. Yes,

Jesus Amen. If you'd like to get in contact with me,

my name is Jonathan Hardwick. The one and only reached

me at telephone number eight six zero five zero zero

eight eight three seven. That is my personal telephone number.

Since we've been on for I think it's about three

years now, I have not received one phone call, so

I guess what I must be saying is true. M M.

But I wouldn't want you to call to tell me

whether it's true. We talk and we talking fellowship. Mm hmm.

I'm not here to debate anyone. If you have a debate,

you can take it up with the word that I

have no I have nothing to fight but to fight

people to get saved, or to fight people to get delivered.

I got my own fight. You know, this started by faith.

This podcast started by faith. It didn't start because someone

told me to start it. Jesus, you know some people

mm hmmm, always quick to start a ministry. Well, let

me tell you something. Where ministry starts. Ministry starts at home,

right starts writing your heart. I don't mind sit under

people's ministries. I don't understand. I don't mind sitting under

people and receiving from them. But I have learned that

I do not have to run to and fro chasing

every window doctrines that I have the word of God

that's right here Jesus. And as our previous pastor said,

you have to know God for yourself, and believe me,

I know it. Jesus doesn't hang m in boxes. Jesus

hangs amongst the common people. Jesus is not looking for

a Mercedes. Jesus is not looking for a mansion. He

already is. What he's looking for is a willing group

of people that don't mind lifting up his name, carrying

his name, and wearing his name, and being his name

and the earth we are to be about his kingdom.

I'm not waiting for a kingdom to come. As he said,

the kingdom come if not by observation, according to Luke

seventeen twenty to twenty one. But the kingdom is within you. Yes,

if people would come into their kingdom purpose. Yeah, fact

they always say their kingdom purpose. Can't come into your

kingdom purpose if you're still waiting on the kingdom. But

I didn't come to talk about that. Let me get

my glasses on, because Lord knows I'm going to need them. Lord,

it's good to see the two pigeons out.

I went away.

Would call him that you don't have multiple millions of people.

I said, yes, I do have podcast plenty of people

listening internationally. Like I said, this year we went over

a thousand downloads. I'm not looking at people. I'm not

looking for followers. I'm looking for listeners. If you can

sow one seed, you've already done your job because you've

changed a generation. We go, we go. So if you're

looking at numbers, if you're looking at building a big church,

you're in the wrong business. You need to go back

and check and see if that was God. Because I'm

sure it wasn't It was probably the God that was

ruling you. Yes, I want to talk to all the

blessed people in the room who say they are blessed

but know that they're broke in their spirits, blessed financially

but lack wisdom and how to manage it, bless but

have no healthy relationships. Blessed but they know they haven't

fellowship with God and so long they don't even know

how they manage to get blessed. Wow, what is the

requirement for being blessed? Along with the posture of setting

yourselves up towards being blessed? The title today is I

Am too blessed to be stressed. I changed it. God

said to change it all right now. I was going

to title it I'm too broke to be blessed, but

God said no, there's some people on here who are

stressing out because you've had religious people who have told

you you're not blessed because you don't have money. Well,

we'll go into the terms right now. I'm blessed in

highly favored. Oh please, if somebody tells me that one

more time, I'm glad my season is over and I'm

coming into my blessing or my breakthrough. The breakthrough is

another one.

Soon.

I will be blessed if you sell this seed.

Yeah, we'll go there. If you sell this seed, you

will reap blessings. Bless you will be in the city, blessed,

you will be in the field. God will bless who

he wants to bless, and curse who he wants to curse,

even though they took that out of context. But some

of us here, when we look at our nature, it

seems like the bee has been taken out of the

bless and it looks like God has put me in

a season where there is more less than blessed. If

you take the bee out, there's less. When people say

they are blessed, a lot of people always equate it

to physical, tangible substance.

But can I tell you within their spirit, how blessed

are they?

Because physical substance doesn't determine how blessed you are. Let

me just help somebody in the room, because I know

somebody is listening and you're trying to figure out who

I am and what I am and how I am,

even though I know all those things pertaining to Nazella.

Just because.

Your job is acting right your children are acting right,

your wig is on right, and you got money.

And everything seems to be perfect. That's your blessed. What

you shouldn't confuse yourself with is this. Everything that you

say is tangible is not eternal.

You may be in a season.

Notice when you said season, like the season we're in

now is fall getting ready to be winter. I hate

to confuse someone, and I hope they're listening, But your

seasons are not eternal. They do change. And I found that.

You know, during the past week, I had the pleasure

of texting someone I hope they're listening, and they were

very self righteous. Now, this person had just come out

of a pretty good trial, and out of the kindness

of my heart, I decided to check on them because

they kind of stopped talking, and so when they gave

me the response, their attitude seemed a little haughty with

their blessing, and so it began to irritate my spirit

very much that I saw God about this. I said, Lord,

how can people be blessed and be so haughty? How

could people be blessed? And like, I know some of

you listening have forgotten.

Where you came from, where you didn't have any food

in your cupboard.

I'm be quiet, but let's go into the many blessings

that God says in his word concerning this.

Let's go into blessings.

Do Toodomy, yep, your favorite, chapter twenty eight. Do teromy,

chapter twenty eight. You know, I love God when he

explains things to me. And you know, people preach one

hundred of miles a minute. And while they're sitting there preaching,

I'm listening. You can hoop and holler out, shout to

your maybe shout your clothes off, but that the end

of the sermon. What did you learn? What did you apply?

What are you shouting for? Are you shouting to get

an emotional high? Are you shouting because your spirit received

something so much that you had to respond with a shoutout.

I don't know who this is. I've never heard this

man in my entire life. I know I haven't heard

you either. But watch this, we're gonna set the record straight.

I'm going to tell you who's blessed and the posture

being blessed, and you're gonna find that a lot of

people that are listening tonight you're already blessed.

I am, Yes you are.

Oh God, here we go. Juteronomy twenty eight, Verse one.

I'm not gonna read the whole scripture, but I think

you're gonna get the point, and it shall come to

pass if thou shall hearken diligently onto the voice of

the Lord thy God, to observe and do all his commandments.

But I'm gonna go where some of you are. Let

me read the scripture again. I'm blessed and highly favored.

I don't listen to the voice of God. I listen

to what I want, and I don't observe all of

his commandments. Notice it says observe. But this is what

the scripture says, which I command THEE this day. Wait

a minute, So if he commanded it, I don't think

that this is something that you can get around. It's

a direct order that God himself has said. Now watch this,

that the Lord thy God will set THEE on high

above all nations of the earth, and all these blessings.

Shall come on THEE and overtake THEE.

Comma.

If there's that word, he's.

Going to put the prerequisites in. Now. Notice it says,

I want to that the Lord thy God will set

THEE on high above all nations of the earth, and

all these blessings shall come on thee. Do you know

why the blessings came on you? Because you observed the

commandments obedience. That means that God's word now has gotten

inside the two fleshly components of your heart. Yes, and

that command has changed your heart. Somebody been to check

and see if they're blessed, and it's began to do

the work on your emotions God. God. Now see when

God begins to speak, and see, I wasn't gonna go here,

and I'm gonna go somewhere. I just sayn't even in

my notes. When God speaks something, I better get over

here because I'm gonna get happy. When God speaks something

into your spirit, your body is going to respond to it. Now,

I know, some of you cracker pot Christians, you know

I put my hand up. I'm the blame first. Sometimes

we go through a season of hearsay because there are

many voices speaking at one time. That's why I said

in the last session when we talked about Jesus, when

he was finished with the multitudes, and he was finished

with his disciples because they were getting on his nerves.

He put them in a ship and he cleared the

multitudes out the way, and he said, because the multitudes

have many voices, And he said, I gotta get away

from all the noise, and I need to get in

a posture a prayer in seeking my God, because I

want to make sure that when I go to the

other side, I have direct commandments from my God. I'm

not talking about commandments from many Crocker. I'm not talking

about commandments from ancient maima, your maima, or anybody else's maima.

I want to make sure I hear this directly from God.

A command, when you hear.

It from a sergeant, has authority.

Act with that command. Now, I know some of y'all

want to play dumb and act like you ain't heard God.

When God speaks, your body is going to move. Yes,

I'm sorry, But when you're in the military and your

sergeant gives you an instruction, I don't find a lot

of people that go against the instruction of the sergeant

or the commander in chief. I don't find a lot

of people that go against that authority, unless he's really

not an authority. But of course, when we don't listen

to the command, we know that there are consequences. But

why would God be commanding you to do this thing?

Because during the time God was dealing with the mindset

of man. A command is a direct response. That means

it came with no blimishes. And what it says in

the contingencies of the blessings. Notice it says, these blessings

shall come on thee. See, I don't have to chase

after this, right, blessings will come to me when I'm obedi. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

But guess what, I'm gonna stop it right there, and

I'll come back to that in a minute. And shall

overtake thee? Now why is the blessing overtaking thee? Because

the blessing is part of the command. Yes, but what

is God commanding me really to do? He says, to

observe his commandments? And what is his commandments of that time? Well,

there were some commandments that were written in stone. Yes,

a type of law that we are supposed to govern ourselves.

According to it says, if thou shalt hearken onto the

voice of the Lord, thy God blessed, shalt thou be

in the city. But let me ask you something. It

doesn't say, what blessing that you will have in the city. Now, listen,

we have to come to the place where we stop

equating blessing to tangible. It's God's desire that in order

for us to be blessed, it starts with our character.

He doesn't want you to be blessed. He wants you

to become blessed. He wants your nature to be blessed.

He wants you to be the word blessed. That's why,

and says, blessed shall thou be bless will you be

you in the city.

And in the field?

Blessed shall be the fruit of your body. You see

that he's not talking about dollars and cents. He's talking

about the nature of the body and the fruit of

thy ground. Because fruit starts with your conduct exactly, and

so what you produced outside of that conduct to other

people is seeds that are sown. See we're talking fruit here,

We're not talking about necessarily your dollars, and it starts

with the nature of being blessed. Okay, we're gonna go

further into this because I can see that someone saying,

wait a minute, I'd never heard none of this one.

M hmm. There are prerequisites to our blessings. I'm not

talking about the ones you manufactured, because honey, I can

be the first one. There are some things I thought

were blessed but brought a curse to them, and I'll

talk about that later on. I'm talking about the blessings

that God gives to those who obey his voice. Now,

watch this, I'm gonna help somebody that's listening because they're

really not blessed. But sometimes I'm gonna talk to the

real folk. When God is speaking, he doesn't always lead

us to good places. I'm gonna help somebody. Let me

tell you, because just because you're in a good place

doesn't mean you're always blessed. Watch this. I'm gonna help

you'all because you know, I wish I could have told

this person that God may take you to a good

place that's good and bless you there.

Just to see how your nature.

Will react to its environment, and will you still obey

the Lord.

Oh, I know somebody is in Now.

See it wasn't because of the It's not because God

got you out of your season. No, God said, Okay,

I'm gonna test you. I'm gonna get you out of

the imperilment, because really in reality, you were really blessed

when you were going through it. Y'ah ain't trying to well,

how was I blessed going through affliction or infirmity? Well,

you wouldn't know how good God, the God that you serve, is,

if you don't go through any of these things. You

wouldn't know how good God is if you didn't have

a penny to your name. How can you experience the

process of God and know who God is when calamity

or circumstance hasn't hit your your body and allowed God

to direct you through these processes and when you come

out of it. Like the Bible says that we counted

all joy when we fall into diverse trials and tribulations,

for we know it's the Lord that delivers out of

them all. Doesn't thee will say that trials and tribulations

work with patience. But see they would think the trials

and the tribulations were not the eminent thing that blessed them,

even though they were going through a struggle. But at

the end of the trial and tribulation it worked a

fruit because patience is a fruit. See, you don't realize

how blessed you are to be able to have a

God that can lead you through the trials, and when

you come out of the trial, you've learned long suffering,

see something. You want to get out of your season,

and you want to get out of the calamity, and

you want to get out of the circumstance and think

that God is supposed to reward you for going through that,

and thinking that because He rewarded you, that means that

you're blessed. No, honey, let me tell you something. I'll

tell you when somebody is blessed. But watch the Let's

go to First Kings three to one. I love my God, yes,

because he always explains it to me. Let's talk about Solomon.

Maybe you'll get it this way, because this was very

interesting when I read it. God said, do you see that?

I said, well, my God, we're gonna go to First Kings,

Chapter three, verse one. I want everybody in the room

to say, I'm blessed.

I'm blessed.

M h. I had to clear my throat a natural thing,

you know. M. And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh, King

of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her into

the city of David until he had made an end

of building his own house and the Lord's house. If

you don't know he married, He took in the daughter

of Pharaoh.

And they.

He married the pharaoh's daughter and took her into his house,

and continuing on in the house of the Lord and

the wall of Jeruthem round about. Only the people sacrificed

in high places because there was no house built onto

the name of the Lord until those days. And watch this,

let me help all the blessed people. Maybe you can

do a self analysis. And Solomon loved the Lord, not

talked about it, not said I had a little conversation

with God, and you know, I just went on about

my missus. No, he loved God to the point where

he gave himself to God. You're not ready walking in

the statues of David his father, because his father was blessed. Now,

David had a lot of problems. David had a lot

of issues, but guess what, he was still blessed because

he obeyed the commandments.

Of the Lord.

H y'all, not try. The only thing that got him

off guard was Bathsheba. You know those women that gets

you in trouble. Only he sacrificed and burnt incense in

high places and the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there,

for that was the great high place. A thousand burnt

offerings did Solomon offer upon the altar. Now, watch says,

this is where it gets This is where it gets funny.

In Gibeon, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream

by night, and God said, ask what I shall give thee.

And Solomon said, I want jewels and a new car

and a new house. Oh God, Oh God, And you

know what, God, I need a husband. God, I need

a wife too. I need a wife. And God, oh,

and I'm so sick of going through this circumstance. I

want you to take. That's not what the scripture said.

That's not what he asked for. He said, thou hast

shone onto thy servant, David, my father great mercy. According

as he walked before THEE in truth and in righteousness,

and in uprighteousness of heart with THEE, he had to

ob seen something. It looks like he was observing his walk.

But watch this. This is very interesting that thou hast

given him a son to sit on his throne as

it is this day. Now, look at this right here.

When I read it, I read it so fast God

said go back, and when I read it, I said, oh,

my goodness. And now, oh Lord, my God, thou hast

made thy servant king instead of David my father, and

watched us.

And I am but a little child.

I know not how to go out or come in.

Solomon is a child, but he has enough sense to

ask God things that pertain to wisdom because he's hung

around people that were blessed, but in their conduct and

through the conduct of manifesting the nature of the Lord,

through obedience of his commands, seeing the mercy.

The humility.

That his father in worship bestowed upon the Lord, David

was blessed to the point where his son inherit that

same nature a blessing, and was able to be wise enough.

To ask God concerning him, how should I rule?

Your God? Lets keme rereading is here, and thy servant

is in the midst of thy people, which has chosen

a great people that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

Give therefore, thy servant and understanding heart to judge thy people,

that I may desern between good and bad?

For who is able to judge this thy so great people.

He could have asked the Lord for anything a child

normally is immature. But because the child sat under a king,

he sat under his father and watched the statues of

his father and emulated what his father did in order

to be blessed, not necessarily with the wealth of the surrounding,

but the actual nature itself emunated blessing. He was able

to be imparted wisdom by watching the stature of David,

watching how he operated with.

The kingship, that he was able to ask God, in.

Accordance to wisdom, how to manage your people? And watch this.

Look at verse ten and the speech there, it is

the speech.

What he said.

Pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.

Well, look at this right here. He took it another story.

And God said to him, because thou hast asked this thing,

and has not asked thyself, Uh, oh, long life, neither

has asked for riches.

How many people are blessed.

In you, Jesus, Jesus, Y see. It separates from the

classiesm of religion that says you're not blessed because you

don't have transportation, You're not blessed because your outside would

implify that God has deemed you worthy to be blessed

because you hold a certain commodity of things that emulates

from the outside that says that God must be pleased

with you.

But unfortunately, this is not what God said to Solomon.

Solomon. He was pleased with Solomon because his speech lined

up with what God was looking for in his command.

That guess that I'm willing to honor you based upon

my father in the statures of what he exemplified to me,

because I have enough sense to know that I know

how David got blessed in the first place. So I'm

just emulating what my father, the example that he taught

me that I would be able to get some form

of wisdom to be able to handle your people calling,

because I know that if I operate in wisdom, the

wisdom and the knowledge alone is going to get me

the blessing. Anyhow, It's not going to be based upon

my skill necessarily. But sometimes, like some of you can

relate to me, sometimes you talk yourself right into a blessing.

Sometimes that God will have you do an awkward thing

that goes totally against the flesh that will allow you

to talk yourself right into that blessing. Because God is

looking for a particular kind of nature or move or

some kind of sign that says that you are willing

to allow the blessing to over or consumer overtake you

to the point where God would have to respond based

upon natural things that imffly that we are in a

state or a place physically blessing. Well, what does that mean?

It means that my life has now become an example

a blessing.

And see that blessing.

Doesn't just affect you, it's supposed to. Neither has aske

riches for thyself. Look at that he didn't ask for

riches for himself. Like a lot of you ask God, Well, God, Lord,

if you get me a house, Lord, if you bless

me Lord. I'm so tired of going through this God,

and it seems like I have to go through penniless

days and penniless nights. And then guess what, He blesses

you because he gets sick of you. He really blesses you.

Because here's the thing. You know, when when a child

starts whining. I know some of us parents, when our

children start whining, we give them what they want. But

see that's a father with a child. You know when

you know when the baby's whining and they want something

to eat.

You know.

The parents says to shut him up. I'm gonna go

get at them a bottle so they'll shut up. And

the saddest thing is that's how God has to deal

with some of us when we have when we get

blessed because we serve a God of mercy. See God,

It's real intention is that your nature would be blessed

to the point where the nature of God would affect

the world, and that the world will respond and say,

you know what, instead of me giving you full price,

I'm going to give you half off. Do you think

that came from just you standing there because they saw something? Well, yah,

I ain't trying to He didn't ask him self for

long life. Neither has asked riches for thyself. No, nor

has asked the life of thine enemies, but has asked

for thyself understanding and judgment. I wonder how many people

that are listening to me ask God, instead of getting

out of your season, did you ask him for discernment? Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Yes,

instead of getting out of your circumstance, did you ask

him to give me wisdom while I'm in the time?

Yes, Behold, I have done according to thy words.

But why is this right here? God? See, I have

given THEE a wise and an understanding heart, so that

there was none like the before the neither after these

shall any arise like onto THEE. And I have given

awesome thee. Watch this that which thou hast not asked?

See the order.

Yeah, there's a lot of people out here that aren't blessed.

Because you're asking God to get you out of your circumstance,

in not allowing the circumstance to teach you how to

be blessed. Jesus, she ain't Nobody never heard of like

this to happen. Because religion teaches about status, the church

is like the world. They emphasize blessing based upon natural,

tangible things because they are looking for an exemplification that

God is blessing me abundantly based upon the natural outlooks.

I need to tell you this, I've met some blessed

people that are very bitter. Wow.

He not only blessed.

Solomon with what he didn't what what what he asked for,

but he blessed Solomon with what he didn't ask for.

See, God was trying to test.

And see what was Solomon's priorities. Mm hmm. Solomon wasn't

an adult. Now, you usually hear this kind of speech

from an adult. You don't hear this from a child.

See some people who normally start off before they get blessed,

they're very humble. I've noticed they have long suffering. But

as I've watched some people, some of them get haughty,

they get careless, They become vain when they get blessed

over time and cause the blessing to become a curse.

It isn't the blesser who's cursed, but the one who

has possessed it becomes cursed by the contents. Instead of

upholding the contingencies, or I'll say, upholding the prerequisites that

preserve the blessing, We're going to go back to Deuteronomy

twenty eight, verse verse fifteen. Juteronomy twenty eight, verse fifteen.

But it shall come to pass if that will not

hearken onto the voice of the Lord thy God, to

observe all his commandments, not sung all of them. And

the way that you observe his commandments is you live

those commandments. Now in this day we live by grace.

But grace does it mean to have it to be

like a get out of jail pass that we keep

sinning that grace may about. I said, we're supposed to

become grace, but we're also supposed to become blessed, and

that is through our nature. You observe His commandments, observe

just means to reverence, but that observance is operated when

you live his commandments, because Jesus is the commandments. Amen.

And so when you operate through the righteousness of Jesus Christ,

you are observing his commandments, like the one that says

loving your brother. That was a command because you can't

love God whom you have not seen. How can you

love your brother whom you have seen or have not seen.

I always get this mixed up. How can you love

God whom you have not seen and loved your God

and love your brother whom you have seen. I'm sure

somebody will get the chester. But love is a command

because Jesus lives in us.

God is loved Lord.

I know this is very practical, but you don't know

how many people I have ranted to them who say

they're blessed and highly favored, and their mien and nasty.

That's the true. So the blessing that you got from

the command of the Lord because you walked in his prerequisites,

and you were blessed based upon the prerequisites, because it

was the prerequisites that changed your nature and caused your

nature to act in a type of righteousness that when

the world sees you, they see somebody that's in right standing,

and instead of them reacting worldly, they act based upon

the righteousness or gets convicted based upon the righteousness of

how you live. And therefore there is a blessing that

comes in response from their nature. Like some of you

have heard, I don't know why I'm doing this.

M hmm.

They don't know why, but they can feel the presence

m h of. When God isn't a place, the world

is not stupid.

Mmmm.

But it shall come to pass if thou will not

harken onto the voice of the Lord, thy God, to

observe to do all his commandments and his statues. Notice

that word statues. Those statues are the same statues that

Solomon from his father followed in and obeyed, which I

command THEE this day, that all these curses shall come

upon THEE. And look what it says, overtake you. It

didn't say your tangible stuff. It first starts with you. Now,

notice when we talk about the first verse, it doesn't

say that you're going to be blessed or that blessings

will come upon you. Then you walk in the ways

of the Lord. See, and that's how some of you walk. No,

it's the other way around. You must walk in the

ways of the Lord. That means your life must now

become the way to the Lord, that your life must

now be taken over. Yes, yes, God, Thank you Lord.

And now it's the Lord that's walking through you. Yes, God,

And that's a blessing to people. Amen, you must walk

in the ways of the Lord. You know why he

blesses you so he can see himself as blessed. Yes, well,

how does he see himself as blessed? When he operates

through you and you obey his word? He is blessed

because you're walking in righteousness. Watch this Genesis twelve. Are

we really going to go somewhere?

See how many of you guys are blessed?

You? And notice most of the scriptures never talked about

tangible No, Genesis chapter three, I'm sorry, jis Genesis chapter twelve.

We're gonna go to verse one. I'm gonna go where

some of you are right and where your struggle is.

You know where I'm struggling here to myself. Our favorite scripture,

all the faith people, it says, now the Lord hath

said on to Abram, he gave him a command. Anything

the Lord says to you is a command. And I

find it strange how lightly we take God. M Well,

let me see if I can figure it out. Oh,

it ain't nothing to figure out. You know, it's him

because you don't want to do it. That's true, didn't

I say. But watch this, We're gonna go in the story,

and you're gonna see where that lines up. Get THEE

out of thy country and from thy kindred, and from

thy father's house on to a land that I will

show you. And I will make THEE a great nation,

and I will bless THEE and make thy name great,

and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless

them that bless THEE, and curse him that curse THEE.

And in THEE, you see all those in these. It

starts with you. It shall all families, not some, not

just your own, of the earth be blessed, because wherever

your feet will walk blessing. Every time you come in

the room, I'm gonna be blessed. But let's get some

note ticket. Why did God tell Abraham really to get

out of his country? He wasn't talking about the land,

but the country God was talking about was everything that

was familiar to Abraham, that is his own country. Disconnect

yourself from everything that you know.

This is too much for some of y'all, and go

to a land.

Wat says, go to a realm where you can enter

into his eternal Blass says, why's this? He couldn't receive

these blessings until he went through an experience or some

of you better hope you see. Some of you wanted

to get out your season, but see you miss God.

You missed your blessing until he went through an experience

that led his thinking into a place outside familiar or

tangible and allowed God to take him through the process

of faith through going to another land. Is so what

you say, He's saying, disconnect from everything that's familiar so

I can bring you into a realm of faith that

brings you and not only.

Your thinking, but your feet.

Had to agree that the realm we're going to, because

you're not going to be blessed until you operate in

a place that is righteous based upon faith. God set

up the process of faith, and the blessing enhanced or

stimulated his faith. See there's where we're jacked up at it.

It's the blessing that's supposed to stimulate your nature when

you get blessed with something, when you get blessed by somebody,

that is supposed to increase your faith, not your desire

to keep asking him for things. As a matter of fact,

you would need to ask him for anything if you

allow your nature to be subjected to the righteous one

who gave you the command. Guess what the blessings are

supposed to come to? You supposed to make things happen

on your own And say, well, because I moved this

in the direction I put that, and I manipulated that

person I got blessed. No, honey, your manipulation is still there,

Your carnal nature is still there. The humility ain't coming.

You're not submitted to God. And guess what Lord knows

you don't want to hang around people that are submitted

to him nor half his spirit. You rather hang around

people that are in darkness. And then tell me that

God's gonna bless you when you haven't even exhibited the

righteousness of faith towards your brother. I'm gonna step over

I'm gonna get on over here. God didn't bless Abraham

until he proved him in faith. Don't worry because in

part two we're gonna talk about tithes and offers. I'm

gonna help you get set free from the system. He

did not bless Abraham until he proved him. See, let

me tell you something. I might as well just go

into the other part. I know Malachi three ten says

that where you rob God, and I'm gonna go into

a separate teaching about that anyway, But listen to me.

God can't be robbed. God is eternal. But in that

time frame, you know what, Hell, we'll go over there.

Let's go to Malachi three. I know y'all preachers use

it to beat up people, but I'm gonna set some

people free. M See, this is the part you forget

to read before you get to the tithing. Now, I'm

still allowing God to give me some things here, but

it ties into what I said when it talks about.

God dealing with the nature.

And getting your nature to a police, where blessing emanates

out of your nature, that every part of your nature,

when it pertains to exhibiting godliness, is blessed. Behold, I

will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way

before me, and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly

come to his temple, even the messenger of the Covenant,

whom ye delight in. Behold, he shall come, Say up,

the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day

of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth?

For he is like a refiner's fire, and like a

fuller's soap, And look what he does. And he shall

sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And she

shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them as

gold and silver, that they may offer onto the Lord.

Oh wait a minute, I don't you hear tithing and

offering here? No, No, not yet, that they may offer

onto the Lord and offering in righteousness.

He's talking about the nature.

He said, I want to burn out all of the

unrighteousness in you and make you pure and make your

offering puel. Oh y'all, don't then shall the offering of

Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant? There's that word. Please onto

the Lord as in the days of old, it as

in former years. But look at what's interesting here, because

you know they don't. You know, the preachers don't read

this part. And I will come near to you to judgment,

and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers,

against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against

those that what that oppress.

The hiring in his wages.

Oh, we don't know any oppressors and wages. Now do me,

yea the widow and the followless, and that turn aside

the stranger from his right, and fear not me saith

the lord of flks. Or we don't know any wage

parlors there oppress We don't know any wage oppressors, or

we know where they are. They're in the church. For

I am the Lord, and I change not. Therefore, Ye,

Sons and Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days

of your father's Ye are gone away from my ordinances.

What are the ordinances? You've gone away from what you've observed. See,

he's dealing with the nature, He's not dealing with your

man made substance. You are blessed when you allow God

to refine your nature. You are blessed when you allow

God to consume all of what is unrighteous and allow

him to purify you through his word. Because God is

not going to bless somebody that's a mess. The blessing

must work in concert with the nature, like God is

gonna bless a nation that keeps sinning. Get out of here?

Are you kidding?

You?

See?

Sin is the nature You make God look like a mockery.

That means that I can give my child whatever they

want and not have any prerequisites to saying that. If

you end up doing your homework and you can show

me and prove to me up is that word proved

to me that you are responsible in handling the task

that I gave you, then I will reward you based

upon the command and exhibit and show everyone that I

am God in your life. And when you come into

their lives, they will be so blessed by your presence,

not just your stuff, that they're going to.

Want to emulate that behavior that you have.

And therefore, when they're taken over and overtaken by this,

they too will be blessed, not just physically, not just tangilably,

but spiritually. God even from the days of your father.

You have gone away from my ordinances and have not

kept them. Return onto me, and I will return onto you.

Sounds like somebody hasn't been too righteous. Sounds like somebody

hasn't been obeying the ordinances of God and have not

surrendered or submitted to the commandments of God.

H So he said, this is how I'm gonna fix it.

Return unto me, and I return on you.

Say of the Lord of Hosts, But ye say, wherein

shall we return? But watch this? Will a man rob God?

Ye have robbed me? But ye say we're in Notice

that word? Where in have we robbed thee in tithes

and offerings? Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye

have robbed me, even this whole nation. And then it says,

bring ye all the tides into the storehouse, that there

may be meet in mine house. And watch this and

prove me. Now say of the Lord of Hosts, if

I will not open the windows of heaven and pour

a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive,

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and

he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground.

Here's that word again, the fruits of your ground.

Neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time

in the field saith the Lord of Ooks. All the

things that he's saying here are spiritual. It starts in

the nature of your spirits. He's not talking about what

you inherit in the ground. He's not talking about your barns.

The storehouse is Christ, Amen, because the Church is in you.

He's not talking about a building. But what he's saying

is through the righteousness, as I purify you, as I

purify your nature, as I bring you into a state

of being blessed in you, I'm going to present an

opportunity for you to return back to me through your

tides and offerings as a symbol that proves to me

it is not you know.

Let me go to my notes because I'm gonna help somebody.

Let me let me go over here. I wasn't playing

it on going here. This is be part, but we'll

be gonna go right over here.

Let me tell you something.

You are cursed with a curse when you try to

prove God.

Out of the curse of the flesh.

That is what you're cursed with when you try to

bring something to God. But it is out of your

flesh right because your flesh is cursed, your spirit is not.

That's why God spent the time that he meant with

the sons of Jacob to bring them back into being

refined and purified. He was dealing with the conduct of

the spirit. See, so I don't care how many tithes

and offerings that you bring. First of all, you're not

robbing God. First of all, because God is eternal. But

what you're doing is you're robbing yourself an opportunity for

God to prove himself to you. Substance is about proving God.

Substance is about having something tangible that you can use

in the natural to give a sign to God that

I trust you with my substance.

It's not about the substance.

You are giving God a sign that says I trust

you in that, okay, and it says out of the

curse of the flesh, and consider it to be righteous.

Instead of accepting the blessing of acting in your faith

as using the instrument of proving a substance God can

use to prove himself because remember, the curse is tied

to the flesh. This is why he said, listen, I'm

gonna have to deal with this nation. I'm gonna have

to deal with the sons of Jacob because they've turned

from me. See you turn from me, but you're trying

to offer up offerings and times, but they're tied to flesh.

Your spirit is not pure enough to offer up any

kind of sacrifice, even if it's something a tangible that

would be able to show me and prove to me

by the natural with a demonstration in the spirit, that

would be able to say to me that I trust

in the Lord.

And therefore, because I trust in the Lord with my.

Resources or the very tangible thing that exhibits that I

know that by faith I am blessed from God. Therefore

it signals to God. But before you can do anything

of tangible, your spirit man has to be right. See

you just come on Sunday morning and you give your

little offering and you say, this is my time, this

is my offering. But your spirit is contaminating Jesus, because

before the priest could go and offer up a sacrifice,

they had to stop at the brazen altar.

See, I'm not trying to hear it.

That's why you're not messed, because it starts in your nature.

He wants to purify that. Why do you think the

Bible says offer your body a living sacrifice. He ain't

accepting no dead sacrifice because guess what, Your flesh is

already dead and it's cursed. So God ain't trying to

accept that. That's why some of you go on Sunday

morning you put your little money into offering and you say,

here's my offering. Hallelujah, Lord Jesus, I gave you the

ten percent of my tie and amen, pat you on

the back. I'll see you next week for payday. See,

your mind is in the wrong place, Honey. When you

come before with a sacrifice, you've already known that God

is in the place with you that you're trying to

prove God in your faith. It has nothing to do

with what you have. It's not anything you think God

cares about your ten percent. You think God is broke

for ten percent. Let me tell you something. It's not

about the ten percent. Mail chiz Adeck felt impressed of

the Lord. There's that word again, impressed of the Lord

to give ten percent of what he owned.

But honey, let me tell you something. They don't put

no law in it.

You can give God anything and prove to him that

God is faithful. Let me tell you something. You think

I'm waiting on ten percent. God will honor it if

it's twenty five percent. If his spirit is in it,

God will honor it. If it's five percent, and his

spirit is you Notice that said his spirit is in it.

That he says that I want you to prove to me.

I know the Man of God said ten percent for you,

but I want you to give twenty five percent. No,

I don't want you to give the ten percent today.

That's just a standard for male kids at that. But

what I want you to do is I want to

see they get caught up in the law of ten percent, honey,

But they don't get caught up in the law of

the spirit. They don't get caught up in the law

of Christ.

And see, your tie ain't gonna make you righteous. It's

the act of faith.

But there are many acts of faith that God can

do to get you in a place that's blessed. O Lord,

I thank you God. See it wasn't that Abraham himself

wasn't blessed. Abraham had to prove God. See the blessing

is not the focus, but through the blessing. He caused

Abraham to prove him that indeed was the blessing. It

wasn't about getting to the land. It wasn't about that

God was trying to get Abraham.

To a land.

In his mind. His mind was the land of faith

that God was trying to get Abraham too. He wasn't

talking about the physicality of this. I have to get

your mind righteous enough to be able to walk in

this place of faith, so that in response to that,

in the natural, I'm going to demonstrate to you, going

to take your feed into a land that you know

not of. And when we talk about know not of,

that means that my familiality is not connected in this realm.

So that means I'm operating in a realm of faith.

That means my mind is demonstrating my mind is. I'm

putting Abraham in a place to prove me with his

feed that I'm God, so that in response to this

I can.

Bless because his faith has become the tool.

A blessing God. When you come out of your comfort zone, Lord,

your country or your comfort which I call your country

is your comfort of mind, that everything is familiar to you,

and leave this thinking behind and bring your feet into

a place that you have never stepped into before. That

is an act of righteousness, that's an act of faith.

I will bring upon you a blessing that will not

only bless you, but your kindred nations that will continually

go throughout the ages as they act upon Watch this

your statue of faith, just like Solomon, as I emulate

what you've done in your nature, as I follow you

based upon the actions of faith, God is gonna bless

my hands because I have obeyed the command. That is righteous.

But righteousness is attributed to faith.

And that's why God said with Abraham, I counted it

as righteousness. Spotify. I'm gonna read one more scripture and

then we're gonna stop. Matthew five, Verse one. This is

how you know you're blessed. Oh, I know you going

to like me. Now, this is how you know you're blessed.

Remember what I said, Blessing starts with your nature. She

blessed people ain't haughty. Blessed people want other people to

be blessed, yes, Lord, but it starts with the nature

of God. And that nature has to bless every area

in us. And you know how it blesses us by

exhibiting his righteousness. But you will not discover his righteousness

if you don't go through the calamity and the season

that you go through. Watch this Matthew twenty five, verse one,

and seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain,

and when he was set, his disciples came unto him,
