WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.040 Father, we thank you for your word today. Thank you 2 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:10.720 for the ministry of truth, the washing of our hearts, 3 00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.640 and the development of our inner man. We thank you 4 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:22.000 for renewing our minds with wisdom from above and enabling 5 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.960 us today to shed the wisdom from beneath. We give 6 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.640 you the praise for it in Jesus' name, and everybody said, Amen, God, 7 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:31.160 bless you. 8 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:32.039 You may be seated. 9 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.119 I want to talk a little bit about renewing our 10 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.679 mind concerning financial well being today. 11 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.840 So this is in the booklet that I. 12 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.719 Gave out a few weeks ago where we talked about 13 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.159 the tin trees of the heart garden. This is your 14 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.359 heart garden right here, and so here it is and 15 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:02.399 all of its glory, your heart garden. Typically there's ten 16 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.879 trees in there. I put ten trees in there previously, 17 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.239 but we're just going to focus on the one tree today, 18 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.560 your financial well being. And I want to with the 19 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.040 help of the Holy Spirit and then Holy Spirit just 20 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.920 ministering to you. My hope is to wash our hearts 21 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:25.680 a little bit today but also make a deposit of 22 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.879 the Word of God in us so that we can 23 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.400 be renewed further in our mind, be renewed further in 24 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:37.879 our thoughts about financial well being. So one thing we 25 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.120 know is that our financial well being, and I include 26 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.480 on the New Creation House the New Creation worksheet, the 27 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.640 prosperity of our household. So it's the prosperity of our 28 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:57.280 household and depending on depending on our household. For instance, 29 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.719 when all four children were actually Jasmine had already moved 30 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.959 out for college. But when when all three of the 31 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.439 boys were at home, our grocery bill, after after going 32 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.479 through the food bank line every week, our grocery bill 33 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.400 at the Wolf House was still over one thousand dollars 34 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:23.879 a month. So how many of you know I needed 35 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.840 some financial well being, right, And then there might be 36 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.319 things you feel called to, like I felt, you know, 37 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.520 for a while, we felt called that our children needed 38 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.680 to be in private school. So there was a season 39 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.039 where we felt very convicted about our children being in 40 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.319 private school, so Christian school. We weren't being snobs, we 41 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.120 were protecting our children, and so that was also another 42 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:54.479 financial need, right. So what we know is that that 43 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:59.879 there's some of these things that we need, and there's 44 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.919 no argument that can remove the need. There's no even 45 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.960 France's a CISI who took a vow of poverty. Guess 46 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.400 what he still had to eat, He still had to 47 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:17.919 change his robe, he still had needs. Everybody has needs, 48 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.439 right and the needs that you have should relate to 49 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.319 the vision of God over your life. That's why when 50 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:31.680 you have, when you're provided for according to the word 51 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.719 of God and the economy of God's thinking. When you're 52 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:41.680 provided for, it's called provision. So because the pro that 53 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:46.280 which is provided is supposed to relate to the fulfillment 54 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.800 of the vision that God has over you. And the 55 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.120 vision God has over you is related to your family, 56 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.479 your calling, your. 57 00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.039 Church, what God has for you. 58 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.360 I have a couple of millionaire friends and they inherited 59 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.039 their wealth and they both inherited like nine million dollars 60 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.479 from the family. When mom and Dad passed away. One 61 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.039 of them chose to go into creating more wealth. The 62 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:20.480 other one chose to go into government. So, and I 63 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.879 say this just to say that God's provision for you 64 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.920 is never to be worshiped. It's to be enjoyed, it's 65 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:32.560 to be received. But provision is not Provision is what's 66 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:37.879 provided for your vision, and His vision was government. Where 67 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.959 we make a mistake sometimes is we make an idol 68 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:45.560 out of money or mammon or sustenance or supply, where 69 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:50.959 we exalted above what we're called to. So it's provision 70 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.279 on purpose, and it's a vocation on purpose. Vocation in 71 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.120 the original understanding of Scripture, means to be vocally called 72 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.639 out for something in your generation by God. That's what 73 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.839 it means. Vocation means to be vocally called. Actually, the 74 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.160 voice of the Lord speaks over you to call you 75 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.560 into something for your generation. And that's why it's called 76 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.639 a vocation because it's God's voice that calls you. So 77 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.439 you're vocally called. It's literally you should hear the voice 78 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.759 of God concerning what you should do, and then God 79 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.800 wants to pour out blessing on you. According to that vision, 80 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.560 he wants to pour out a pro vision upon you 81 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.279 so that you have fulfillment. Does that make sense? So 82 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.680 this is in our heart garden. We can't escape it, 83 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.759 we can't get away from it, but yet we don't 84 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.839 need to. It's like God, it's not an unclean thing. 85 00:05:54.199 --> 00:06:00.439 It's what we surround our it's what we surrounded this 86 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:05.720 with in order to fulfill it that becomes unclean. So 87 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.839 it's not even money that is the root of evil. 88 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.720 The Bible says, it's the love of money that is 89 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.920 the root of evil. Right, So it's not it's not 90 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.360 that this need is a problem. God knows that you 91 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.439 have these needs, so it's not that need actually, And 92 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.360 God wants to be the fulfiller. He wants to be 93 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.279 the fulfiller so that he receives the glory, he receives 94 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.519 the praise. He wants to be the fulfiller of this need. 95 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.720 So that's you know, Matthew six thirty three. And it's 96 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.399 just all sorts of scriptures. But what I want to 97 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.160 what I want to go to a little bit, is 98 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.240 I want to show you that from the very beginning 99 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.480 that what God's ordained for you is actually abundance. So 100 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.439 God has not ordained for you to have just enough, 101 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.439 but what God has ordained for you is abundance. Okay, 102 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:10.519 everybody say abundance. So we see this in the beginning 103 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.639 in Eden. This is first of all in Eden. And 104 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.759 when we see Eden, we see a picture of what 105 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.199 God ordained for Adam, for Eve, but He's we see 106 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.480 a picture of what He ordained for all of mankind. 107 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.240 So Eden was a picture of what He ordained for 108 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:35.240 all of mankind, and the blessing on Eden was to 109 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:41.319 as they walked in righteousness with God, that blessing was 110 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.079 supposed to go with them as they essentially heavenize the rest. 111 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:46.439 Of the globe. 112 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.879 So they were going to take the blessing of Eden 113 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.720 out of Eden. And their assignment was to fill the earth. 114 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.079 Remember the assignment to fill the earth. That was their 115 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.000 assignment to fill the earth. And they were to fill 116 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.480 fill the earth with the blessing of Eden. They would 117 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:08.279 fill it out of intimacy with God, out of righteousness. 118 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.720 That was theirs, because they were walking in righteousness, that is, 119 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.000 they were in unity with God. There was no disagreement. 120 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.199 They were in unity with God. It's unity with God. 121 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.959 It's agreement with God that makes our heart rite with Him. 122 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.800 That's righteousness. And so out of that righteousness, they were 123 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.480 also covered with the glory of God. And they had 124 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.080 the dread of God. So the dread of God was 125 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.480 on them and the glory of God was on them. 126 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.440 So this is what was common for Eden. And they 127 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.919 had an abundance. There was no scarcity, there was no lack, 128 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.240 there was no sickness, there was no disease, there was 129 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.600 no thorns. There was no thistles. The earth was remade 130 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.519 in fallenness. The earth was essentially subject to futility. And 131 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.799 those things that were of the curse came after they 132 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.159 were dismissed out of the garden of Eden. They were dismissed, 133 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.320 and then two cherubim were set there to guard the 134 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.720 entrance into the garden, and they were sent into what 135 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:18.720 would become then scarcity for them. But then God immediately 136 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.480 gives us a picture of Jesus, and this is God 137 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:23.720 initiating abundance. 138 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.000 Again. 139 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.200 God wants to even in our fallenness, God is coming 140 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:32.000 to us. We have this religious thinking that we have 141 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.919 to talk God into blessing us. But from the very 142 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.679 beginning God's been trying to talk us into receiving blessing. 143 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.360 God has a greater level of blessing for you than 144 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.759 you actually have a level of petition for so you're 145 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.039 trying to talk God into blessing you. God's actually trying 146 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.720 to initiate blessing. But we've been so conditioned with doubt, 147 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.759 with unbelief, with the religiosity, and with the thinking of 148 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.519 the demonic realm, that we can't accept the goodness of God. 149 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.679 It's hard for us to receive the goodness of God. 150 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:15.440 But immediately he comes to them and he sacrifices an animal, 151 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.600 and he covers them with the skins of the animal, 152 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:23.519 and that's the first blood sacrifice that makes them acceptable 153 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:27.480 before him. And then that's the beginning of blood sacrifice. 154 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.120 And every blood sacrifice, all the way to Abraham, all 155 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.679 the way to Moses, all the way through to Jesus, 156 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:40.279 every blood sacrifice is an atonement sacrifice. It's so Atonement 157 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:48.360 is the word at one month, Atonement at one month, 158 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.720 it means. 159 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.240 That we're made through the sacrifice. 160 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.159 Of the animal, through the shedding of the blood, we 161 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:59.799 are made at one again with God. Our sins are 162 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.919 out a side. They no longer obstruct us with God 163 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:08.679 or before God. And that atonement, the blood of atonement. 164 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.080 And every single one of those was the picture of Jesus. 165 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:18.080 Every single blood sacrifice found its fulfillment in Jesus. Every 166 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.720 single one of them pointed to Jesus. Every one of 167 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:26.200 them were reaching forward into the final sacrifice. They were 168 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.600 a prophetic picture that were reaching forward into this final 169 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:37.559 sacrifice of the Lamb of God, the perfect, sinless, blameless, 170 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:42.399 perfect Lamb of God. And that's why these animals had 171 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:47.759 to look like they were the Lamb of God, because 172 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.559 they were actually pictures of the Lamb of God. So 173 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.120 they had to they had to be without blemish, they 174 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.000 had to be a certain age, they had to have 175 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.720 a certain look about them. This is all preparing the 176 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.679 way for the one who will finally come, and he's 177 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.720 coming to bring us into the family, all of us 178 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.799 from every nation, so that we can all come into 179 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.440 the blessing that God's ordained for us. Because God's trying 180 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.480 to bless us. This is God initiating God initiating God, 181 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:25.679 initiating God, initiating God chasing. God's chasing you today. He's 182 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:31.559 chasing you. He's initiating a blessed relationship. This is part 183 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.519 of how he shows his love to us. Right Mama Joel, 184 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.320 she has something she says when the kids are loading dishes. 185 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:42.159 When she hears the sounds of dishes going in the dishwasher, 186 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.519 she says, Oh, that's my children telling me they love me. 187 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.000 God's trying to tell you that he loves you in 188 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.600 every blessing that he's making available, in every blessing he's 189 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.600 pouring out on you, trying to tell you that he 190 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.559 loves you. See, his love is not abstract. His love 191 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.279 is not ethereal, it's not up in the sky somewhere. 192 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.759 It's actually manifest in tangible ways by him pouring out 193 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:16.840 blessings upon your life. So then in Genesis chapter twelve, 194 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:21.600 he chases down this guy he likes him, and he 195 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.480 finds this guy up in err of the Chaldies or 196 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.120 up in Haran somewhere, and he finds this guy named Abram. 197 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:34.799 Remember Abram. Now this is right after the Table of Nations. 198 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.559 This is right after Babel. This is right after Babel, 199 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.519 and Babel is right after the flood. So we have 200 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.840 the flood, and we have God frustrated with humanity. Violence 201 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.840 is filling the earth worse than every game you've ever 202 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.080 seen that your children have played on a PlayStation. Violence 203 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.879 is filling the earth. God is sorrowful that he's made 204 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:01.200 me mad. He starts over with Noah, and then Noah's 205 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.279 lineage continues, and then they disobey God and they make 206 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.399 a tower. It was a cigarette. They were actually making 207 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:14.000 a temple edifice to worship false God's false deities. And 208 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:18.639 so God scatters them and he starts with a new nation, 209 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:23.080 only one. He divides them into seventy nations. He divides 210 00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.919 them into seventy nations, and only one nation he keeps 211 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:29.399 for himself, that's Israel. And so the nations are scattered. 212 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.240 And right after that he goes and he finds Abram, 213 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:38.600 and Abram will be the beginning of his nation. Abram 214 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.360 will be the beginning of his nation. He's going to 215 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.480 select one nation to lead into guide out of the 216 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.759 seventy and the sixty nine are turned over to darkness. 217 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:53.679 And so he finds Abram, and he says to him, 218 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.720 leave your father, leave your household, leave your family, leave 219 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.639 your nation, leave your tribe, leave what you've known, leave 220 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.240 your idolatry, and follow me and co to the land 221 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.279 that I will show you, and I will make you 222 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:12.519 view a great nation, and I will bless you. And 223 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.919 so Abraham does this. Now I want you to see this, 224 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.720 because again this is God initiating and God setting something 225 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.799 up where God wants to bless somebody. God wants to 226 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.000 bless Abram. God wants to set him apart, and actually 227 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.879 he makes Abram the superior king of the entire earth. 228 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.240 Abram becomes the king of the earth, and the Bible 229 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.519 goes on to say some crazy things about Abram, whether 230 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.080 you like it or not. And I don't know if 231 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.559 you like it. Some of us are deep in religion 232 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.320 and so we don't like stuff. But the Bible says 233 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:50.480 some interesting things about Abram. For instance, in Genesis twenty 234 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.320 four to thirty five that says, the Lord greatly blessed 235 00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.200 my master Abram or Abraham, so that he has become rich. 236 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.240 He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and 237 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:08.879 golden servants. God blessed Abram and made him rich. Abram 238 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.799 was God's covenant man in the earth. He was the 239 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:17.080 superior cove and he was the founder, the beginner of 240 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.440 what we know as the patriarchs. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob 241 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:26.480 are the spiritual patriarchs of Israel and the spiritual patriarchs 242 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.440 of our lineage as well. And i'll read that to 243 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.240 you in a minute. And then Genesis fourteen twenty three, 244 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:37.919 when Abram was offered the plunder from five kings that 245 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:43.559 he routed and overtook on his own with his own army, 246 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.639 so to speak. When he was offered that, he said, 247 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.440 I will accept nothing that belongs to you, not a 248 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.759 thread or a strap of a sandal, so that you 249 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.639 will never be able to say I made Abram rich. 250 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:05.880 So Abraham was very passionate about his allegiance to God, 251 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.880 and he was dependent upon God. But he was seeing 252 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.519 that God was keeping his covenant. God said, I will 253 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.880 bless you, and I will make you a great blessing. 254 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.519 And God was faithful to that. And as Abraham walked 255 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.720 in covenant before him and believed God, then God credited 256 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:29.359 to him that faith as righteousness, and righteousness qualifies you 257 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:35.400 for Eden. Righteousness will always qualify you for Eden. 258 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.119 And so then we go a little further. 259 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.680 Down the line and we get into Isaac and Jacob, 260 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:48.680 and then eventually Jacob has a son named Joseph, and 261 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.000 Joseph is the favor of God, the rescuer of God. 262 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.799 He's another picture. There's just pictures all the way through this. 263 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.480 The Old Testament is filled with pictures of provision, the 264 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.240 vision of God and the pro vision for the vision. 265 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.839 The Old Testament is still full of this on purpose, 266 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.839 so that we would trust God, so that we'd rely 267 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.480 upon him, so that essentially we would leave the carnal behind, 268 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.160 that we would leave the demonic behind, that we would 269 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.720 leave the Idolatrus behind, that we would leave the darkness, 270 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.720 that we would leave false doctrines behind, and that we 271 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:30.240 would fully trust God with our finances, with our financial 272 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.200 well being, with our household, and with all that God 273 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.000 has put on our heart. This is what God wants 274 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:44.559 to do. Right, Hello, somebody over here. We got error, 275 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:50.279 and then we got aggressive aggressive demons, and then we 276 00:18:50.319 --> 00:19:01.799 have oppressive demons. Oppressive demons. We have oppressive mindsets, mindsets, 277 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:11.400 we have aggressive mindsets, spirits demons, and then we have 278 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.759 doctrinal error. We have that too, right, we have Okay, 279 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:16.880 so let's get to that. But let's go here. Let's 280 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:22.279 go We got Joseph. Let's go to Joseph. And when 281 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.519 Joseph gets down to the land of Egypt. 282 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.440 We thought that it was a bad thing. 283 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:30.599 That he was sold into slavery and all this bad 284 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:35.279 stuff's going on. But there's a famine coming, and God, 285 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.640 in his fore knowledge knew there was a famine coming, 286 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:45.200 and so God was actually sending Joseph forward through events 287 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:52.720 that the enemy thought were dampening or sabotaging the favored one. 288 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:56.960 The enemy thought he had Joseph. The enemy thought that 289 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.559 he was suppressing Joseph. The enemy thought that he was 290 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.640 taking Joseph out because the enemy saw favor on Joseph. 291 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:09.880 He was the favored son of Jacob. He was the 292 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.079 lineage of Jacob and the lineage of the Messiah, and 293 00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.720 so the enemy was after him. Right. But he gets 294 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.759 down into Egypt, here comes the famine, and then Joseph 295 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.240 like it opens up Jacob for provision. And so Jacob 296 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.240 and all the brothers, all of Israel. Jacob's name has 297 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.519 been changed now from remember Jacob's name what it means. 298 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:36.960 It means trickster, deceiver's supplanter. God encounters him and changes 299 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:48.039 his name to Israel, which means prince with God. Isaiah 300 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.480 sixty says that God has given. 301 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:52.279 You a name change. 302 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.079 Isaiah sixty one, sixteen and sixty one says, God is 303 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.799 changing our name. He's going to give us a new name. 304 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.480 You wear a new name. Christian is a new name. 305 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.160 And this name is anointed one. You're an anointed one, 306 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:14.799 You're a favored one, You're a blessed one. So God 307 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:19.200 changes Jacob's name. He's no longer going to rely on tricking. 308 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:24.759 This is aggressive trickster tricks. Okay, different than trick or 309 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:32.079 treat tricks. That's an aggressive mindset, sleight of hand, deception. Right, 310 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.440 these are the old these are the old tricks. And 311 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.400 actually this is. 312 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:39.200 How good God is. 313 00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:43.559 Right, Jacob had relied on all of this stuff, and 314 00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:46.240 God still loved him, and God still pursued him, and 315 00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:49.880 God still corrected him, and God still met him, and 316 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:54.400 God still desired him, and God didn't reject him in 317 00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:57.440 all of your stupidities, God's not rejecting you. God's trying 318 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.319 to help you. God's trying to lead you. Now. The 319 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:07.359 enemy wants you to think that you're disqualified, disqualified, okay, 320 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.839 the enemy wants to think. He wants you to think that. 321 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.000 You've done too much, too much, too. 322 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.240 Many sins, too many mess ups, too many screw ups. 323 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.400 It's over for you. 324 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.720 No, no, no, no, that's a doctrinal air. 325 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.319 God loves you as much as he did. 326 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:31.559 Jacob was a complete trickster and deceiver and caniver. But 327 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:34.079 God meets him and he says, you think you've been 328 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.960 wealthy so far, you think you've a mess and herds 329 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:39.720 so far, you think you've been blessed so far, you 330 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:43.039 haven't seen nothing yet. Watch wait till you see what 331 00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.119 I'm gonna do with you now. But first I'm gonna 332 00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:49.640 break your heart and change your nature. First, I'm gonna 333 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.759 lay hold of you and change your name. You're no 334 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:57.440 longer gonna rely on deception, trickery and lying and sheeting. 335 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.279 You're no longer gonna rely on those old aggressive patterns. 336 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.759 You're gonna rely on me fully and wish you as 337 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.119 you do. Then God is gonna, I'm gonna blow this 338 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.119 thing up. And you know what he was trying to do. 339 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:11.920 He was trying to fulfill the promise that he made 340 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:16.880 the Abraham. It's Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And God is 341 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.519 passionate that all of the lineage abides in and enjoys 342 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.160 the same blessing as the fountain head. The fountain head 343 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.960 was Abraham, and God wants everyone in the lineage to 344 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.279 enjoy the same blessing as the fountain head. And so 345 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.519 this is what he's doing with Jacob. So he changes 346 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.400 his name, and so Jacob and all of them go 347 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.400 down to Egypt, and Joseph is down there preparing the way. 348 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.079 And guess where they go. They go to the land 349 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.240 of Goshen. Now it says in the Bible that the 350 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:53.359 land of Goshen looked just like Eden. 351 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:57.039 This is the biblical pattern. 352 00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.279 And then some bad guys rise up in Egypt and 353 00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:03.720 they don't know Joseph, and so then they put him 354 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.640 in bondage, and there's all this bad stuff going on, 355 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:09.920 and God says, you're not gonna get my kids. You're 356 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:13.039 not gonna oppress my kids. You're not gonna beat up 357 00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:17.440 my kids. You're not gonna harm my kids. I'm gonna 358 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.000 deliver them out of there. I'm gonna take them to 359 00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:24.680 the land I promised them. When did he make a promise, Well, 360 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:29.640 when Abram first shows up. Abram shows up where God 361 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.039 leads him, and God leads him to a place like Eden. 362 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.559 Look in the scripture. God leads him to a place 363 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:40.279 that was like Eden. And then he says, Abram, lift 364 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:43.359 up your eyes, and as far as you can see, 365 00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:48.160 I'm giving you this land. This will be your territory. 366 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.160 This is your land, Abram. And so he lifts up 367 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.440 his eyes. He looked north, and he looks south, and 368 00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.839 he looks east and west. And then they made that 369 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.640 their boundaries. And God brought them back to that land 370 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.079 that was the promised land. And though the enemy had 371 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:08.200 come and invaded the Promised Land. Seven nations had come 372 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.400 and taken over the Promised Land. God said, that's okay. 373 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:14.799 We'll just let them build all the houses. We'll let 374 00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:19.279 them plant all the vineyards. Listen, do you think he 375 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.759 loves you as much as he does or did the Israelites? 376 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.000 Does he love you as much as he does or 377 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:31.039 did the Israelites? Is anybody loved as much as he 378 00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:36.839 did love Jacob and Isaac and Abra anybody in the room. Well, 379 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.720 can't you see what God does? God is so amazing. 380 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.799 God says, I'm just gonna those seven nations. They are 381 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:50.359 doomed to destruction. They are children of wrath, they are 382 00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:54.640 under unclean deities. But we're just gonna let them work. 383 00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.680 We're gonna let them build up the land and plant 384 00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.799 a bunch of vineyards and build a bunch of houses. 385 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.279 And then you're gonna go in and you're gonna possess 386 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:05.960 that land and you won't even need to fight. 387 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:12.160 Just pretend that you're fighting. Just pretend that you're fighting. 388 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.920 And if you'll just come in by faith and pretend 389 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.279 you're fighting and work with me, then all ringing down 390 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:20.440 some hailstones that are about this big and just disperse 391 00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:23.440 those guys out of there. And then I'll just cause 392 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.599 the walls to just fall over, and they won't just 393 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:29.119 fall over, they'll actually disappear, and you'll just go in. 394 00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:31.720 All you really need to do is on the seventh day, 395 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.880 just like shout, really good would you? 396 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.160 This is what God does. 397 00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:43.440 Oh, but God doesn't prosper us. You know those promises, 398 00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:48.200 that's for in heaven. When we get to heaven.
