We're gonna do a medical clinic for two days. We're 25 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.879 gonna be leading people to the Lord, working with the pastor down there. 26 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:49.640 We are going to be passing out medications and doing small things with that we 27 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.120 are able to do down there. We're also wanting to participate in feeding people. 28 00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.680 So one three hundred dollars will feed one hundred people for two weeks with 29 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:07.280 a full protein meal pack, and so we're hoping to be passing out quite 30 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.080 a few of those at different places that we're gonna go. We're gonna go 31 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:15.319 visit the well that you all paid for this last march to be able to 32 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.280 be put in. It is in, it is functioning, people are drinking 33 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.479 from it. We're going to hold a crusade there and pass out food for 34 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.479 the community. So we're going to gather the community and dedicate it to the 35 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.879 Lord. So we're going to be busy, busy people. We are on 36 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:34.960 the ground I think eight days total. So I had a dream. Anyway, 37 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.400 it's going to take us some finance to be able to do all these 38 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.400 projects. And so today, as you saw the team that's here, we 39 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:45.879 are going to give you an opportunity to sew into our projects. So if 40 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.919 you would for me, we gave you this little piece of paper. It 41 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.599 talks about what we're doing. I think it was on your chair when you 42 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.039 came in, correct, So pull that out, take a look at it. 43 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.080 It's got our itinerary on the front. I need you to take this 44 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.360 home, put it by your bedside, put it in your kitchen, and 45 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.520 every day between August thirtieth and September nine, I want you to pull this 46 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.039 thing out, see what we're doing, and I want you to pray for 47 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.159 us. Now in reality, when you're awake, we're asleep. So in 48 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.039 reality, what you're what you're praying for is what we did before and what 49 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.800 we're going to do the next day. Right, it's not that very second. 50 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.120 And maybe when you're praying for us, pray that we're actually sleeping because 51 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.240 it's a pretty quick flip and so we're probably awake all night going. I'm 52 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.439 supposed to be awake right now, but it's dark outside, So pray for 53 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.960 our jet lag and all of that kind of thing too. But please be 54 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.599 with us on this team, Be with us moment by moment, just being 55 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.280 prepared next Sunday when we come, you're gonna pray us out of here. 56 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.400 And then we leave that Wednesday. We have packed up nine suitcases. I 57 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.639 think it is filled with brand new free medical supplies that we're taking over. 58 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.840 So we're gonna, yeah, it's just great. We go and we blow 59 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.439 the place up. We don't just go and look around. We go and 60 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.840 change things. So would you be willing? Would you be willing today to 61 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.400 partner with us? There's four once again, four ways to give. You 62 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.240 can do this by that QR code. You can do it anyway. Just 63 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.319 reach in the front the seat in front of you, grab grab a enflo 64 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.800 But would you be willing to help us today? Ushers, come on forward. 65 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.879 We are getting ready. We have to send money.

So would you partner with us 69 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:39.680 here today, partner with us around the world, changing lives and in ways 70 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.040 that you will probably never be able to know until we go to heaven. 71 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:51.759 Right then we're gonna see what we stored up with just our righteous acts and 72 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.240 deeds. Amen, Father and Jesus name, thank you so much for these 73 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.879 people and for their willingness to give, for their willingness to be a part 74 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.759 with us. Lord I thank you for the team.

And Lord God, I thank you 77 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.519 right now that you're just going to keep your hand of safety upon us. 78 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.360 Thank you Lord that this team is not just nine, but it's the entire 79 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:21.199 body of New Horizon going forward to do things and to put our hands to 80 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:28.000 the plow in Jesus name. Amen, thank you so much, Thank you 81 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.639 so much for your participation, your willingness. We are ever so grateful. 82 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.759 Amen. Pastor Dwayne, why don't you come on up and lead us in 83 00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:49.399 the word I want live. Let stand up and pray for the word. 84 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:56.360 We have a week for you to continue to give. So if you want 85 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.800 to be a part of this, we've got so much we want to do 86 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.560 the shoe projects, all of our outreaches. I think our outreaches are like 87 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.399 four hundred and fifty a day or something like that. So if you want 88 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.800 to continue to be a part of this, you can, you know, 89 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.959 you can come online and just go into the mission drop down box or you've 90 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.319 gone to drop down box or whatever it is on sub splash or online or 91 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.560 whatever, and just continue to help us. Also, we're collecting electronics so 92 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.240 they love it if we bring stuff over there. And actually we've got one 93 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.920 church we want to provide symbols for they need a whole symbol set. If 94 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.160 you want to be a part of that, I've been asking you to give 95 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:41.160 into Restored Life books. So we're having two hundred Break your Chains books printed 96 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.959 and we're taking those with us. Fifty restored life books, we're taking those 97 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.759 with us, one hundred and fifty communion books, we're taking those with us. 98 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.879 And twenty five of the brand new child deliverance books, Set Your Child 99 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.959 Free Book, those are gonna go with us as well. So it's a 100 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.720 brand new book we're just finishing. So that's going with us over there. 101 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.040 So that's like those are tubs and every tub is two hundred dollars to get 102 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:11.160 there. So it's just money, money, money, money. Say I'm 103 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:18.680 loaded, I'm overflowing, I'm abounding for every good work. And Jesus Name 104 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:23.120 and Father, we thank you for your word today, thank you that you 105 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:30.160 raise us up and that we are we are your ecclesia. We are your 106 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:38.439 ambassadors of transformation, your ambassadors of reconciliation. And we just we bless the 107 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:46.279 team today and we blessed this house that together we set our hearts on transforming 108 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.759 the nations and doing our part to represent you and to bring your healing word, 109 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.000 your healing ministry. We give you the praise for in Jesus name, 110 00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:01.439 or may said amen, Amen, Amen, you maybe see yeah, electronics, 111 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:07.319 I didn't finish that thought. So laptops cell phones, stuff that still 112 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:13.199 might work even if it's locked. Bring it in because we'll figure out way 113 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.360 to unlock it. If you can strub it, great, strub it before 114 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.519 you bring it in or whatever, and then we'll h they are they are 115 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:26.480 technically they are not technically challenged over there, so they can unlock your phone, 116 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.879 believe it or not. They'll figure it out. So Joel's phone, 117 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.159 I sent it into Apple, her last phone, and I sent it into 118 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.279 Apple, you know, because they were doing a trade in. So whatever 119 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.559 she's on now, she's on it like an eight or eleven or something. 120 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.559 I don't know if she's on anyway. So I sent in her old phone 121 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.759 to do a trade in thing and Apple sent it back and said it doesn't 122 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.240 qualify. It's a piece of garbage, you know whatever. So I sent 123 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.000 it over there. Pastor Andrew got it working. He's using it today, 124 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.919 so he's having a ball with an iPhone. They figured it out. So 125 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.279 just you know, if you think it might work, get it in this 126 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.840 week so we can get it into the luggage. Get it into the stuff. 127 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.120 Right. So this is connect Sunday, by the way, So it's 128 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.120 Picnic Sunday, but it's connect Sunday. That means we want you in a 129 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.480 name tag. And I'm Dwayne the Bathtub. I'm not Dounding, but that's 130 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.879 yeah, okay, but we want you in a name tag. We want 131 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.200 you to stay for the picnic, like Joe said, and we want you 132 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.799 in a name tag because it's Connects Sunday and they were raptick. We were 133 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.159 doing Raffle, were doing the Rapple tickets back there. So if you have 134 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.840 a Raffle ticket, We're gonna give away prizes at the picnic, so you 135 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.320 gotta stay. And I think the prizes are after the apple pie contest and 136 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:56.399 we have ice cream for the apple pie, so we will dwell together in 137 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:03.200 fatness and that's very scriptural. So that's going on. I'm want to talk 138 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.320 about restoration through the church today, and I'm just I'm blessed by you. 139 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.759 I'm proud of all of you and blessed that you're here, and thankful for 140 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.120 every one of you. Joel, and I rejoice over you and your friendship 141 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.840 with this house and your your partnership with for the Kingdom, and your love 142 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.240 for him and all that all that he's doing, all that he represents. 143 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:33.679 Amen. I've been talking to last several sunnis about restoration and how it's God's 144 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.039 plan to restore mankind and it's God's plan to restore the Earth, and that's 145 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:46.519 really the macro plan. The macro plan is restoration. And we have our 146 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:56.279 mission. We are comissioned agents. Our mission is in opposition to another mission, 147 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:03.679 a mission that took over the planet, a mission that usurped first Adam 148 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.919 and his governance and his dominion over the planet. And so our mission in 149 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:18.320 Jesus is a mission against that mission. So we are comissioned to destroy the 150 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.840 finish, to partner with Jesus in finishing the work of destroying the works of 151 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:35.039 darkness, banishing Satan off the planet. And as Jude writes and as Peter 152 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.039 writes, seeing to it that the powers of darkness are locked in chains until 153 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.559 the day of judgment, that's really that's our assignment we are. We're on 154 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.559 this assignment, and so we do both at the same time. We're building 155 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.440 the kingdom and we're destroying the works of darkness. And wherever we don't destroy 156 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.080 the works of darkness, the kingdom won't be built. The kingdom has to 157 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.799 be built. Where we have partner with Jesus to bind the strong man and 158 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.879 to plunder the strong men. So that's that's what we do, and we 159 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.919 don't do it on Sunday. This is the training Center, the equipping center, 160 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:18.440 this is the Joy Center, this is the family Center, this is 161 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:24.440 this is so much, but it's not everything. Right. We are the 162 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.639 scent ones. We're sent in the culture we're sent into. And your employment 163 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.799 is one of the coolest ways for you to be sent because you are paid 164 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.679 to be a missionary. Wherever you are, you are a paid missionary. 165 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.399 You're a paid missionary. Have you wanted to be a paid missionary? Sent 166 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.279 by an organization? You are. You're sent by Apple, You're sent by 167 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.879 Microsoft, You're sent by you know, some real estate company, or you're 168 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:58.200 sent by some organization or the carpenters Union or the Electricians Union or Boeing. 169 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.799 You're sent you're your way is paid to be the ecclesia in the midst of 170 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.440 darkness and to bring kingdom word, kingdom, love, kingdom values, kingdom 171 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:15.360 principle right where you're at. You're a paid missionary and that fun and that 172 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.159 cool. And so I've been thinking a little bit about the church today because 173 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:28.279 the church the Church is the instrument of restoration to the earth, the Church 174 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.240 Ephesians three, ten and eleven. His intent was that now through the Church. 175 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.159 His intent was now that through the Church, the manifold wisdom should be 176 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.320 made known to the rulers and authorities in heavenly realms. So the principalities and 177 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:52.679 powers, the very thing that Paul says in Ephesians six ten through eighteen, 178 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.879 the very thing that we battle with, the thing we wrestle with, the 179 00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.159 thing that we feel, the thing that's against the righteousness or the Kingdom of 180 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.679 God or the Kingdom of Heaven. It's through the Church. It's through us, 181 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.440 the ecclesia, the called of God, the set apart of God. 182 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.759 It's through us that the manifold wisdom of God is now being made known. 183 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.960 It's being made known through our words, our prayers, our lifestyle, our 184 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:24.240 speech. It's being made known through all we represent and everything we do. 185 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:31.000 We are the ones because we carry Jesus as He carried the Holy Spirit. 186 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:37.279 We carry His Holy Spirit into everything and everywhere. So now through the Church, 187 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.679 the wisdom of God should be made known to rulers and authorities in heavenly 188 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:48.440 realms or in the spirit realm according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished. 189 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.559 This was his purpose all alone. This was his purpose all along, that 190 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.559 he would have a people, that he would reclaim the earth, that he 191 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.000 would reclaim mankind, that he would bring. This was his purpose all along, 192 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:09.000 and its launch began with Jesus, according to the eternal purpose that he 193 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.919 accomplished in Christ. Jesus our Lord. So God shows the Church to bring 194 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.519 the Kingdom of Heaven. God shows the Church to expand the Kingdom of Heaven. 195 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.360 We are the blood bought. We are the set apart. We are 196 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.080 the ecclesia of every region. We're the ecclesia of every region. By the 197 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.159 way, I can't. I'm not the ecclesia in Los Angeles today. Somebody 198 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.440 down there is going to need to do something about that weather that's coming. 199 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.480 Right. So I'm not the ecclesia in San Diego. I'm not the ecclesia 200 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.879 in Cabo San Lucas. I'm not the ecclesia in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania today. 201 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:50.480 I'm not the ecclesia in Washington, DC. The ecclesia is a regional as 202 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:56.399 it was in Ephesus, or as it was in the Grecian days, or 203 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.159 it was in the Roman days. The ecclesia is a region expression. God 204 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:07.759 needs me right here, God needs you right here. It's a regional expression 205 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:15.519 in every region. The Church represents Heaven on Earth. I can pray over 206 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:21.519 other areas, I can prophesy over area, other areas, but I get 207 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.440 to represent Heaven on Earth right here, right here, right here. I 208 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:36.080 get to represent Heaven on Earth. The Church is Heaven's legislators. Matthew six 209 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.159 eighteen through nineteen. I tell you that you are Peter, and on this 210 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:47.720 rock, I will build my church. You've heard multiple sermons on this. 211 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.200 I won't even I don't want to go into where they were and how important 212 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.000 it was, and how they were actually at the Gate of Hades. They 213 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.960 were actually there, they were actually at a place called the Gate of Hades. 214 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.519 I will build my church, my ecclesia, and the gates of Hades 215 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.960 will not overcome it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom 216 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.960 of Heaven. Who has the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven? Yeah, 217 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:23.240 you do, we do. The Church does. The Church does the Body 218 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:30.559 of Christ that called out the regional expression in a region of God's people, 219 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:36.799 of God's set apart. People have been given the keys to bringing Heaven to 220 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:44.000 earth. We have been given the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. What 221 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:49.559 would the earth do without the Church? What would the earth when the world 222 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:55.039 would be happening without the Church? Right now? What would have happened over 223 00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:00.160 this last season in the global reset if the Church hadn't have been standing up 224 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.240 in every region and standing up in prayer, and standing up in action, 225 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.200 and standing up in the prophetic word, standing up to thwart the plans of 226 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.920 the enemy, plans that were actually meant to thwart the growing move of God 227 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.039 and the revival that God is loosing over the planet for a billion soul harvest. 228 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.279 What would have happened if the Church would have said not on my watch? 229 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.160 Did you know it is actually our network director. I don't know if 230 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.119 you knew this, but our network director, the one that we belovedly love 231 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:37.039 and we give in to every single month without missing a beat. It is 232 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:45.119 chay On who directs the Harvest International Ministry and Harvest Rock Church who stood up 233 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.640 against Gavin Newsom and the powers in California that went all the way to the 234 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:59.119 Supreme Court, that actually won a victory for the entire global church in the 235 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:03.200 United States of America, that churches will not be shut down, that worship 236 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.799 will not be legislated, that the way we worship will not be silenced, 237 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:18.799 and that the church is free to worship as she desires and needs to that 238 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:25.599 that, by the way, that lawsuit cost them our our functioning. So 239 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:32.920 we're under two networks. Were under Shay and World Harvests or Global Harvest Harvest 240 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.279 International. We're also under Bethel, and we partner with both of them. 241 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.880 We given to both, We partake of both, and we yield to both 242 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:47.079 and glean from both. And and those two are brothers in a ministry called 243 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.160 Revival Alliance. So, but I don't know if you know that that cost 244 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.799 Harvest Strock Church and Shay and everything. That costs them one point three five 245 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:06.680 million dollars to fight that to the Supreme Court. Now, I want to 246 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:11.759 just ask you a question, where would that where? Where? What would 247 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:17.079 have happened if they wouldn't have had one point three five million dollars? Wow, 248 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:25.720 See, some things, some things well all things we pray for, 249 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.960 but some things we need to add shoe leather and greenbacks. Two that as 250 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:41.359 we said that there would be breakthrough that accompanies the prayer. Now, the 251 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:47.279 beautiful joy of that is that when they won the victory to the Supreme Court, 252 00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.640 then a part of the victory was all of their legal fees had to 253 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:57.240 be paid back. That's how I know it was one point three five million 254 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:03.400 dollars is because they on an award from Gavin Newsome and the State of California 255 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.720 that all of their legal fees had to be paid back. But my point 256 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.799 is, what if they wouldn't have had the one point three five million in 257 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.000 the first place. You follow what I'm saying, because that victory was our 258 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:23.839 victory. That victory was the next plandemic's victory, because another plandemic might be 259 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:32.839 coming, but there's already been in victory one that just messed up somebody's plandemic 260 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:37.279 right there, if you know what I'm saying. But it's the church. 261 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.079 It's the church. The church carries the good news of the Heaven. The 262 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.960 church carries the heart of Heaven and the character of Heaven. The church calls 263 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.200 people out of darkness and equips them with Heaven's DNA. The church is the 264 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:53.440 salt and the light of the world. The Church. The church carries the 265 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:59.039 values that actually cause society to work. If it weren't for the church, 266 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.400 we wouldn't need have the values that makes society work. It's out of the 267 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:10.519 Church that comes kindness. The world is not pushing forth kindness. Satan is 268 00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.160 not like Satan is not specializing in kindness. Do you understand that it's the 269 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:22.640 values that make society work. Love, patience, kindness, meekness, gentleness, 270 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.599 servitude, self control, respect for property, respect for one another, 271 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.839 honor. I mean, we could go on and on about the values that 272 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:38.400 actually all of society cherishes and it makes all of society work. They don't 273 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.720 come out of any place other than the church. They come out of the 274 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:52.200 Church. We could talk about the Dark Ages. I don't know. You 275 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.119 know, if you realize that the Dark Ages were actually some people blame the 276 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.799 Dark Ages on the churches. You know, it's only the Church that sustained 277 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:06.039 culture through the Dark Ages. Go back and study again, you're gonna get 278 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:11.759 a revelation. Stole helping me because she's the church history genius. She helped 279 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.359 me to get a revelation that it was actually the church that brought life through 280 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.400 the Dark Ages. It wasn't the church that brought the dark ages. If 281 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:23.640 it weren't for the church, the lights would have gone out. That's always 282 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.920 the way it is, and that's always the way it's going to be. 283 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:33.039 And that's why the lights aren't going to go out because the church is well 284 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:40.039 alive. The church is well alive. Now here's the crazy thing about the 285 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:47.920 church. For all of this, the church needs people. People who are 286 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:57.880 able to lead, equip teach, build up, strengthen those who staff and 287 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:03.640 care for the most important organization on the planet. This is the most if 288 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.960 there were ever a critical hour for the church, I would say, this 289 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.240 is it. Actually. I mean, I'm sixty four in my lifetime, 290 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.200 and I know that's a short little span in the view of humanity, but 291 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.440 in my lifetime, this is the most critical hour ever for the church. 292 00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:25.119 There has never been a more critical hour for the church in my lifetime. 293 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:26.359 And I don't know about you. Most of you are younger than me, 294 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.160 so you could probably agree with that. But I would say, even over 295 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.319 the history of our nation, there have been few times that are as critical 296 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:40.359 for the church to rise up as a time like this. So in my 297 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:44.880 thinking, this is not a time for us to wonder if we should support 298 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.400 the church. Wonder if we should be on board with the church. Wonderful 299 00:24:48.400 --> 00:25:00.759 like we should be partnering with the church. Should we really be partnering with 300 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.759 the Church? Are you kidding me? Wake up? Wake up, child 301 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:11.799 of God. This is this could be the most important time in your lifetime 302 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:22.839 to partner with the Church. And all of this for the most important organization 303 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:30.519 society, All of it has had its biblical precedent in influence support making it 304 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:40.000 happen in a crazy thing called the tide the time. The tithe is how 305 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:48.039 people of God from the day of Abraham, Genesis chapter fourteen, God set 306 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:53.839 a priest in Abram's life. It's the first act recorded in Abram's walk in 307 00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:02.920 covenant with God. And Abram gives of him a tenth part of increase. 308 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.240 And we see that pattern begins then, and it's a pattern that goes on 309 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:14.000 and on with God's people ten percent. And God has always used this pattern 310 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.720 biblically to provide for what he wants to do on the earth. And so 311 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:25.839 I honestly cringe whenever anybody in ministry on a platform or anywhere with a microphone 312 00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:33.720 says God doesn't need your money to keep heaven moving. That's totally true. 313 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.920 To keep Jesus on the throne, totally right, the throne in heaven. 314 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:44.359 But for God to do everything he wants to do in what we've been describing 315 00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:48.440 as a growing kingdom and a diminishing darkness. Everything God wants to do in 316 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.000 the earth on the earth, he's chosen to do it through people. And 317 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.000 therefore people need to eat, and buildings need to be paid for, and 318 00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:18.920 stuff needs to be supported, and so therefore God needs your money. People 319 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.880 always pour money into things that excite them. You know that, don't you. 320 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:29.359 The world is pouring so much money into them, the agendas that they're 321 00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.880 putting forth right now, do you think the agendas moving forth are moving forward 322 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.880 without money. You've got to be kidding me. They're more than tithing. 323 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:47.079 They are more than tithing. Tithe means ten percent. But there's people so 324 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:51.599 sold out to their causes. Whether it's tree hugging causes, whale hugging causes, 325 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:57.240 a gender affirming causes, whether it's whether it's library causes, whether it's 326 00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:06.400 the destruction of our university causes, whether it's climate change causes. I'm telling 327 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:11.160 you you can name the cause. People in the world are pouring much more 328 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.759 than ten percent into their cause. They're not just showing up and having a 329 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:23.440 cheeseburger. They are bringing their wallets. They are bringing their wallets. Loving 330 00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:29.559 a cause means supporting that cause, be it a political party, a conservative 331 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.519 party, a school, university, hospital, or a brick of benevolence. 332 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:41.400 This is just the way it works in a third dimensional world. And it's 333 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:49.000 eleven thirty and I just started appreciate it. I just wound up. I 334 00:28:49.079 --> 00:29:00.599 just got wound up. I was the barrier to blow a gasket. You 335 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.200 know. I don't see it as a painful reality. I see it as 336 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:11.079 the joy of those who are mature in Christ and an expression of childlike faith. 337 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.759 It's really true, you know, Joel and I have proved it out 338 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:27.200 so now forty years of ministry. Probably never had salaries that compare to most 339 00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:34.079 of yours. No, it's true. You know, our our first little 340 00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:38.359 spot, we joke about what our salary was, and and just kind of 341 00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.359 scrapping and digging and all the time, you know, giving ten and twenty 342 00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:48.880 and sometimes thirty percent of our income back to the church, and sacrificing and 343 00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:53.319 just watching God work, watching God do miracles. This is what he says. 344 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:59.359 In Malachi three ten through twelve. He says, put me to the 345 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:07.119 test, prove me herein see if I won't open the windows of heaven for 346 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:12.960 you and pour out a blessing upon you. And I love the translation. 347 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:15.839 It gives a lot more clarity to it. And we could throw this stuff 348 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:22.000 up on the passage upon the stream. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. 349 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.880 That's the ten percent. Bring your ten percent into the storehouse, the 350 00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:27.880 house of the Lord. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty. 351 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.920 See if I will not throw up in the floodgates or the windows of heaven 352 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:34.880 and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store 353 00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:41.279 it. So that's one translation. And I you know, folks want to 354 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.000 argue with that, because you can always build a bigger barn. Actually, 355 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.039 Luke twelve condemns the man. Jesus spoke in a condemning man about a man 356 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:56.359 who built bigger barns because his harvest was so vast. So he said, 357 00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:59.000 I'm just going to build bigger barns, And so he built bigger barns. 358 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:04.880 But that passage says, but he wasn't rich toward God. Because he wasn't 359 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:11.759 rich toward God, God cut his life short and he lived in futility. 360 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:18.119 He didn't enjoy his wealth. There wasn't real fulfillment. Because the joy of 361 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.960 wealth is supposed to be the joy of not just you tasting the wealth, 362 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.680 but if you seeing what your wealth can do. And you can only do 363 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:32.960 that if you're also rich toward God. God wants to give you a prosperous 364 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:40.559 field house, family life. God wants to prosper you, but he also 365 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.640 wants you to be rich toward Him and giving. Let's go back to Malachi 366 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:47.200 because I want you to see it. I outline the nine Everybody say nine, 367 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:49.920 We're never going to get to that today. I outline nine benefits of 368 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:57.079 tithing. That's about as ambitious as the bike trip yesterday. I told Joel 369 00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:00.519 and the Conleys we were going to go on a little bit mike trip. 370 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:06.359 Thirty two miles later, exhausted, fall into the vehicle, nearly fall asleep 371 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:10.119 on their way home, can't move when we get home, Lord Jesus, 372 00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:15.720 whereas my brain, the ambition just literally overtook me. We need a healing 373 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.160 but it's a healing of the brain, not only the body. Well, 374 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.000 that's the same thing with nine points on the blessings the promises of tithing. 375 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:32.119 But I promise you this, we will get to those nine. Go back 376 00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:39.359 to verse ten. I want you to see this. I like the translation 377 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:44.119 that says because we can always get a bigger barn. But there's a translation 378 00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.640 that says, pour out so much blessing that you will not be able to 379 00:32:47.920 --> 00:33:00.279 manage it. The inference is that the blessing of the Lord will be bigger 380 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:07.440 than you can manage alone. That when God's blessings upon you'll you'll need those 381 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:13.440 to help you manage it. It's more than you can contain or manage by 382 00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:20.200 yourself. You need the help of others around you. And that might even 383 00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.200 be happening to you to a degree already. And you're not tithing. But 384 00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:28.680 what he's saying is now, I need you to be rich toward me. 385 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:34.759 It's interesting with Abram in Genesis fourteen, God gave him the victory over the 386 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:40.960 five kings first, and then out of a reflection, I'm recognizing that God 387 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:46.839 gave him the victory, he brought the gift of ten percent to the priest 388 00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:57.759 Malkazidek, and that resulted in a greater blessing because then Melksitic blessed him. 389 00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:01.000 And it says the blesser is always blessed by the greater, So Abram, 390 00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:06.839 who was blessed, received even a greater blessing from a greater one because he 391 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:14.000 brought the tenth part. And what blows me away? And I'll just touch 392 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.400 on one more blessing. We won't go into the rest of those. But 393 00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:21.760 there's so many tucked into here. There's so many promises tucked into this, 394 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.440 and we've been receivers of all of them. For forty years of marriage, 395 00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:29.199 forty years of ministry, we've been receivers of all of them. With our 396 00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:35.840 children, our home, our finance, our future, our health. We 397 00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:46.360 literally have like lived in the land of Goshen. While while actually by men's 398 00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:52.199 estimation, it couldn't be. Like Caleb says all of his friends, if 399 00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:53.840 you don't believe in God, just look at my parents. That will change 400 00:34:53.840 --> 00:35:00.760 your mind right there, because all of his buddies are coming from rich families, 401 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:06.039 doctors and lawyers and what have you. And that's all good. If 402 00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:08.840 they've all known that we have laid down our lives to build a church. 403 00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:25.199 And yet God has built our house and protected us and helped us some of 404 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.760 us just wisdom. You know. When he opens up the windows of heaven, 405 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:36.519 it's it's not envelopes of money dropping on you. It's favor and opportunity 406 00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:42.679 and wisdom and self control. And it's also the windows of heaven mean the 407 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:51.519 access to heavens, thoughts, values, character ideas, concepts, favor. 408 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.760 It's he didn't say I'm going to open the windows of money and they'll all 409 00:35:55.800 --> 00:36:00.400 drop on you. He's opening the windows of heaven. That's been a theme 410 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:06.119 for four weeks, the Kingdom of Heaven, accessing living in and out of 411 00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:09.960 the Kingdom of Heaven. That's been our theme. Well, I want to 412 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.480 go to one more thing. Romans eleven sixteen. We have it up there, 413 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:19.239 Roman's eleven sixteen, and it's back in Leviticus twenty three thirty, and 414 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:27.639 it's over in another passage that I gave him. Let I give you that 415 00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:31.559 the ninety percent is blessed Proverbs three. If the part of the dough offered 416 00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:34.840 his first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy. Now I 417 00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.599 want you get over Proverbs three, Mark I few in Proverbs three, it's 418 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.559 the first fus principle. This is really this is a crazy thing about tithing, 419 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:46.960 is that years ago we figured out because we had to budget, just 420 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:50.960 like all of you do. We budget today. We do all of our 421 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.719 money on quick books. We budget everything we do. We keep track of 422 00:36:52.800 --> 00:37:00.199 every penny we spend, We keep all of our receipts. We budget like 423 00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:05.760 all of you have to budget. And we figured out a long time ago 424 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.599 that God was really smart and that he wanted the tithe to be the first 425 00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:13.239 check. You're right, He wanted the tithe to be the first expense because 426 00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:15.800 if you'll leave it to the last, you may not have ten percent left 427 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:23.599 over it. And biblically, that's called the first fruits. Biblically, he 428 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:31.360 said, give me the first, make the ten percent the first. And 429 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:37.280 here's what's crazy. He says that when you make the ten percent to him 430 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:44.000 first, then he sanctifies and blesses the ninety percent. That's why the ninety 431 00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:52.280 percent with him is more than one hundred percent without. This is how our 432 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:58.039 ninety percent is blast beyond, Like our stuff doesn't wear out, and our 433 00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:02.719 stuff lasts longer and we get more discernment and insight and understanding on our like 434 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:08.079 our ninety percent is more. There's a miracle on our ninety percent because we've 435 00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:15.000 dedicated the first ten percent to him. Our ten percent, that's the first 436 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:22.320 he gets the first. Yeah, but I thought Uncle Sam got your first. 437 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:24.599 Well that's another topic. That means that you tie it off the gross, 438 00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.320 not the net. If you tie it off the net, uncle Sam 439 00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:30.760 got the first ten percent. But if you tie it off of the gross 440 00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:36.599 before, what was it before taxes were taken out? Okay, I'm gonna 441 00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:40.159 tie off that the four thousand before they took out my taxes and my Social 442 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:44.440 Security and then I'm going to tie it off of four thousand. That's four 443 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:46.960 hundred dollars. I'm not going to tie off of the thirty six hundred dollars 444 00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:51.400 that was left over because that would be second. That would be giving God 445 00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:58.199 my second fruits. So I don't want to give him my second fruits. 446 00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.719 I'm going to give him my first fruits. So I'm going to write in 447 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.079 the first check, and it's gonna be based on what it was before Uncle 448 00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:15.960 got his. And this is how God releases miracles in your lifeless same. 449 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.000 We've got a close I've gone over time and the hot dogs are frying right 450 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:24.360 now. We've got chicken thighs on the barbecue, boneless chicken thighs. We've 451 00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:29.840 got giant hot dogs, little hot dogs, beet fought dogs. We avoided 452 00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:37.639 all portocot dogs, pork free, pork free lunch. We want you to 453 00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:39.159 stay and have fun. We're gonna be hanging out, you know, tell 454 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:45.519 like four o'clock or whatever. We got whiffleball. We got cornhole. We 455 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.199 have got We've got three cornh hole sets. We can have a corn hole 456 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:55.440 tournament. We've got apple pie contests. We got ice cream. We have 457 00:39:55.639 --> 00:40:00.599 the jumpy house, and we have the slide for kids. We've got the 458 00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:08.239 playground. It's gonna be fun. But the most important thing is that this 459 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:17.159 is the most critical hour for the Ecclesia who arise, and for us to 460 00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.079 worship not only with our hands up and with our voices, but to worship 461 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:28.519 with our giving, to love the cause of the Kingdom of Heaven so much 462 00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:35.199 that we get behind that cause financially. And I don't know about you, 463 00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:40.280 but I you know, I care about the earth. I care about the 464 00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:44.079 earth, and I care about trees, and I care about the whales, 465 00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:47.480 and I do I care about climate, and I care about stuff like this, 466 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:51.400 and I can learn I care about carbon and this and not. But 467 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.480 you know, I think I think the answers are in the church. I 468 00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:57.559 think the answers come out of heaven. And so I'm not going to give 469 00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.920 my money into that stuff. I'm going to give my money to this stuff. 470 00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:04.360 I'm going to give my money in the raising up heaven, raising up 471 00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:07.440 a people of heaven, raising up influencers of heaven, raising up households of 472 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:12.800 heaven, raising up an echlos sea of people, raising up the influencers of 473 00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:15.840 heaven who will go in. I'm going to get my money into equipping the 474 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:17.840 people who will carry heaven. That's where I'm going to give my money. 475 00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.440 And so when the whale people call me, I gave. I already gave. 476 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.119 When the tree people call me, when the sunshine people call me, 477 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.800 or the climate people, I already gave. Where'd you give? I gave? 478 00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:34.280 And I'm pouring it in. I'm pouring it in. I want to 479 00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:38.239 be a part of building the most important people and the most important thinkers, 480 00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:44.440 and the most important legislative body and the most important movers and shakers on the 481 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:46.880 planet. And that's only coming out of one thing. It's coming out of 482 00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:52.159 the organism and the institution and the living body called the Church of the Lord 483 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:57.119 Jesus Christ. That's where I want to pour my money. I want to 484 00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:00.360 pour my money into that, and I want that to be raised up. 485 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:06.519 And so Father I I just join with these people. I just know that 486 00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:12.039 you have knit us together here as a household of faith with people who love 487 00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:16.119 what you love. And we love that Heaven's growing in Heaven's building, and 488 00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:21.079 that you're using us, and that you're raising us up. You've given us 489 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:24.719 your authority and you're giving us your wisdom. And we just say yes to 490 00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:32.519 you, and yes to funding dramatically funding the Kingdom of Heaven, dramatically funding 491 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:37.280 the work of the gospel, dramatically funding the people and the houses and the 492 00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:43.239 buildings and the equipment and the books and the stuff that carry your message. 493 00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.960 Holy Spirit. We agree to be your faith ones, your mature ones in 494 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:54.639 Jesus, and your childlike believers in Jesus name. And everybody shouted, God 495 00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:55.360 bless your church.
