your smartphone or dumb phone.

Speaker 3: And get ready to receive God's word.

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: I want to pray, Father, anything I say does not

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,240
matter if we don't have hearts to receive it. So today,

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,880

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: Right seeds to be planted. We've had hard weeks.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: Some of us have been disappointed, some of us have

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,640
been confused about what's going on right now.

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: In your presence, I thank.

15
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: You that peace is here. It's the peace that passes

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,840
all understanding. And so Father, would you speak to us

17
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:00,280
so that we can actually live an abundant life away

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,759
in this place. It's my prayer, and all God's children

19
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:05,560
in this place say amen.

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,879
Speaker 3: All right, let's do this thing.

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,079
Speaker 2: Well, we're starting a brand new series today, and I

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280
get excited about a brand new series because I've been

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,760
holding this one. Because the truth of the matter is,

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,560
this series has the opportunity to transform your mind around

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,920
something that all of us are thinking about.

26
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: Everybody's thinking about money. Oh no, not me, liar.

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,359
Speaker 2: Some of you have checked your account three times today.

28
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:47,760
Some of us get notifications every time something shifts in

29
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:52,000
our account balance. Many of us right now are planning

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,079
our lives around what the decimals say in our bank account.

31
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:00,319
Some of us have joy right now because because of

32
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,480
how much we have, and some of us are in sorrow.

33
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:05,879
Speaker 3: Okay, y'all, come.

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: On because of how much we don't have. Many of

35
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:12,280
us feel great on payday.

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: Come on, let's be honest.

37
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:16,599
Speaker 2: How many people get an extra little peppine step When

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,479
that little chiching hears, You're like ah, And as soon

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,719
as that first payment comes out for the house you

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,840
live in, you're like God.

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: God.

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,759
Speaker 2: Today, I want to let you know very clearly, we

43
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,520
are going to talk about money, but it's not the focus.

44
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:43,840
A lot of people don't understand and realize how important

45
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,080
it is to be able to bring God's truth around

46
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,199
things that we all deal with. But because there's been

47
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,400
people who have done wrong around the topic, people stay.

48
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:53,719
Speaker 3: Away from it.

49
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,759
Speaker 2: My job as your pastor, I'm not everybody shepherd, but

50
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,599
I'm yours it's to make sure you understand the things

51
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,479
that God says that you are supposed to have and

52
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:09,439
how you're supposed to interact and connect with them. So today,

53
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,039
this new series is called six figures.

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: Everybody say six figures?

55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,479
Speaker 2: How many people in here would love to make six

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
figures consistently monthly?

57
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: Oh?

58
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: Come on, I'm talking to somebody six figures weekly. Huh huh.

59
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:30,560
Somebody had the crazy fathure I make your daily. No, okay,

60
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,080
everybody wants to make six figures. It's like, last ten years,

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,120
it's been like a culturally coined phrase like I'm just

62
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000
trying to give six figures or or what type of

63
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:41,599
man do you want?

64
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: He got to make six figures?

65
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Come on, let's talk about it. Let's think about many

66
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,639
of us are trying to raise to a certain level.

67
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,120
But I started to think about this cultural plaze, and

68
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:53,400
I was like, I know a lot of people that

69
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:55,159
make six figures who aren't fulfilled.

70
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: I counsel plenty of people that have not just.

71
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,039
Speaker 2: Six figures, seven figures, eight figures. And you were like,

72
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,680
I wish I could see what they talking about. We

73
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:12,159
can trade places, but the truth of the matter is

74
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,479
the number or the figure you have in your account

75
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:20,040
does not mean you will be fulfilled. And I thought,

76
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:24,040
what are the six figures that God wants to expand

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,959
and shape our faith around? And so for the next

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,279
few weeks, I'm gonna be talking about six figures that

79
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:39,759
shape your faith to live an abundant life. See, because

80
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:41,560
God doesn't want you to just have money.

81
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,639
Speaker 3: He wants you to have an abundant life.

82
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,199
Speaker 2: He wants you to be able to walk in a

83
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,360
lifestyle that.

84
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: Doesn't add sorrow with it.

85
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,439
Speaker 2: And so in this series, I want you to be

86
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,279
able to listen because I'm gonna have to challenge watch

87
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:05,000
this some of your cultural constructs. I'm coming for some

88
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,959
of your family ideas. I'm coming for spirits that have

89
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:13,680
been on you that have been borrowed from people you

90
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,560
didn't even find out the source they got it from. Okay,

91
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,920
And today I want you to understand the six figures

92
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,720
God cares about so that you can live a life

93
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:27,680
of abundance. So these are the six figures we're gonna

94
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,839
talk about that are gonna shape your faith. We're gonna

95
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:37,680
talk about work three amens. But the truth of the

96
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,240
matter is most of you think your job and your

97
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:47,480
work are synonymous, and God gave Adam work even though

98
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,639
all his needs were supplied. We'll talk about it later.

99
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,480
We're gonna talk about rest. How many people can use

100
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,920
some more rest. We're gonna talk about it. We're gonna

101
00:05:56,959 --> 00:06:00,639
talk about motives. We're gonna talk about multiplication, We're gonna

102
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:04,079
talk about priority, and we're gonna talk about generosity. And yes,

103
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,560
we're gonna talk about money. And the reason I say

104
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,079
this is because one third of all of the message

105
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,120
that Jesus gave publicly were about money, generosity, and possessions.

106
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,720
And the reason why Jesus talked about it so much

107
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,639
is not because he cares a lot about money.

108
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,759
Speaker 3: He knows you do, He knows we do. He knows

109
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:27,079
it's the reason.

110
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,759
Speaker 2: Why I can or cannot be a blessing on all occasions.

111
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:34,639
He knows that it changes my attitude. There are people

112
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,560
I don't like because I think they have.

113
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: More money than me. You don't even know.

114
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: And God's saying, your heart and resources are connected. And

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,839
what I want is to correct the thing that no

116
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,360
one can see.

117
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,639
Speaker 3: This series is an inside job.

118
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: It's going to challenge the things that you think and

119
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,959
your neighbor ain't gonna know what's going on on the

120
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,600
inside of you the ten and that's going on the wrestle.

121
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:04,120
And God wants to reveal these things because I believe

122
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,399
he wants you to live in abundance. But the thing

123
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,079
that can mess up the money, the influence, the platform

124
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,920
he gives you is the mindset. And today I'm coming

125
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:21,360
to change and challenge the mindset of God's people around

126
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,560
this idea of living and abundant life.

127
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:25,399
Speaker 3: John ten ten.

128
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: The thief, the enemy, our adversary, does not come except.

129
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,199
Speaker 3: To do what steal, chill and destroy it.

130
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: But Jesus is talking, and he said, but I've come

131
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:43,839
that you may have life, and that you may have

132
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:49,199
life more. Watch this word abundantly. Jesus is saying, my

133
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:50,920
whole reason for coming. There's gonna be a lot of

134
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,240
details that come, but my whole reason, if I can

135
00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:54,720
sum it up in one thing, I want you to

136
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,160
live an abundant life.

137
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,399
Speaker 3: What like that's what you won't for me? Yep? What

138
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,160
about grace and mercy and it's.

139
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: All wrapped up in an abundant life? What about resources

140
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,560
and blessing others and being able to walk in.

141
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:13,319
Speaker 3: The fruits of the spirit.

142
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:17,199
Speaker 2: Is all wrapped up in an abundant life, and.

143
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: God wants your life to be Watch this fool.

144
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Some of us have lived the most empty, barely making

145
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,279
it at the bottom, just enough to get by lives.

146
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,279
That's not why God gave up his only son and

147
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,679
so you could survive.

148
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: He wants your life to be just Somebody say abundant,

149
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:47,000
Say it like it's a big word. Abundant. What if

150
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:50,759
every area of your life was more than enough. Oh,

151
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,720
y'all didn't hear me.

152
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:54,639
Speaker 2: Think about your marriage been like girls, I'm kissing me, dang.

153
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: Our love is so abundant. It's more than enough. Think

154
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,399
about every time you get ready to bless.

155
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: Somebody, you gotta tell yourself, I don't know if they're

156
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,039
ready for that.

157
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: That might be too much for them to handle. What

158
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,559
if every time you looked at.

159
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: Your health, you'd be like, man, I've never been more healthy,

160
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,120
have more energy. I don't even need those things to

161
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:21,840
stay up no more. I'm living an uh.

162
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,279
Speaker 3: What if when you prayed, you were praying to see who.

163
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: God wanted you to answer their prayer, not just that

164
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:32,519
God would answer their prayer.

165
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: Abundance.

166
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: What if you didn't have to be seen and you

167
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:48,120
were still fulfilled. Oh, I'm talking about abundance. I'm talking

168
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,080
about I'm not on the GRAMD. I'm not showing you

169
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:58,399
what I'm doing on Facebook, and I'm actually happy abundance.

170
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,399
And this is what I on everybody listening to me

171
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,840
to know, because I'm reversing some of the lies that

172
00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:09,000
you have believed. God desires for his children to live

173
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:15,039
an abundant life. Why, pastor mic Because it's a reflection

174
00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:21,519
of him. If you read all the characteristics of God,

175
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,120
He's the God that owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

176
00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:28,559
He's the God that pours out his grace unending. There's

177
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,279
no sin you can do where.

178
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:34,279
Speaker 3: The grace is not great. He is abundant. And then

179
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,879
you look at his kids. Okay, y'all ever met somebody

180
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:40,879
who got it all?

181
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: Gucci, Louie down, got got all the things, got all

182
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,360
the Lulu limb and got all the Awlo, got everything.

183
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,399
And then the kids walk up. Oh, y'all know what

184
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:56,559
I'm talking about. It changes the way you looking at them, because,

185
00:10:56,799 --> 00:11:03,000
oh them, you those your kids. Why Because the reflection,

186
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:09,519
many times is the way people get to understand who

187
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,240
the person is.

188
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: I believe that this is an area that needs to

189
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,320
be represented.

190
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,639
Speaker 2: That's why in this church, during this series, we're not

191
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,200
taking any offerings that are outside of what we normally do.

192
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:28,879
There will be no second offerings, there's no building campaign

193
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,039
as in fact, during the series, we're gonna give money away.

194
00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:35,639
Fessor Mike, why are you saying this because most people

195
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:38,759
who have an aversion to resources, they like the church,

196
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:39,480
just want my money.

197
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: You ain't gave it no way.

198
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,799
Speaker 2: So first off, let's let's be clear we've been able

199
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,080
to survive without some money. And number two, the enemy

200
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:50,919
is trying to keep you from a principle that will

201
00:11:51,039 --> 00:11:56,600
change your legacy. And today I have the authority I

202
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:03,600
live this. I started out in poverty. I started out

203
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:07,279
with a poverty mindset. Oh you couldn't tell about what

204
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,120
I had owned. But I had a poverty mindset, not

205
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360
because it's what I was exposed to, not because it

206
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,399
was because of what I adopted. And the Holy Spirit

207
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,000
after salvation had to break off of me a mindset

208
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,720
that was keeping me. Watch this from his best for me.

209
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,559
And I'm believing through this series by faith that many

210
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,159
people are about to walk out of the idea of poverty.

211
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: I'm not just talking about money.

212
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,639
Speaker 2: Some of you are poor relationally, some of you do

213
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,519
not have enough emotionally. God's going to allow you to live.

214
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,080
Say it with me one more time, abundantly. Let me

215
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,159
help you understand what abundantly is. Abundantly is spiritual fullness,

216
00:12:55,919 --> 00:13:03,799
material provision, generosity, and God's overflowing grace. When God says

217
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,240
I want you to live abundantly, he says, I want

218
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:09,000
you to be spiritually fool. I want you to have

219
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,559
whatever material provision you need. I want you to have

220
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,159
generosity to be able to be a blessing to others,

221
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,600
and I want you to experience God's overflowing grace. Write

222
00:13:21,639 --> 00:13:23,559
this down because I believe it's going to be an

223
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,639
anchor in this entire series. Abundance is fueled by the

224
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:35,080
principle of proper management, not from endlessly pursuing more. I

225
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480
need to give this to you very clear right now,

226
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,480
because a lot of you think abundance is a lot.

227
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,159
Having a lot does not mean you're in abundance most

228
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,200
of the time. Having a lot means you're overwhelmed. Come on,

229
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,639
let's be honest. God says, I want you to properly

230
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,639
Stewart over what you have. When you become a good steward.

231
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: You live in abundance.

232
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,039
Speaker 2: Right now, some of us have more clothes and more

233
00:14:04,039 --> 00:14:06,960
shoes than we know what to do with. Right now,

234
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,879
we can't even get to our bathroom because we got

235
00:14:08,879 --> 00:14:13,759
to step over mountains, hills and valleys. Come on, let's

236
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:17,000
be honest. Some of us got storages for our storage.

237
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,039
Speaker 3: Y'all got what I'm saying.

238
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,679
Speaker 2: What I'm telling you is a lot does not equal abundance.

239
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,080
Proper stewardship does. And we're gonna talk about that as

240
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,879
we go. Today is just a foundation because I believe

241
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,200
that God wants you to live a life of abundance.

242
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,679
So just write this point down, very clearly, very simple.

243
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:39,600
I've said it several times, but God desires for me

244
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:44,320
to live an abundant life. That's what he desires for you.

245
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,840
A lot of people I've heard it said like this,

246
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:51,120
love God, love people, use money. But a lot of

247
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:56,480
people mix those up. They use God, love people and

248
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:59,600
love money, or they love.

249
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: God, use people and love money. Oh, come on, y'all.

250
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: But the proper order for everything that we have to

251
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,639
do when it comes to resources is we love God.

252
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,679
Somebody say love, God, love people use money. It's a tool.

253
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:22,360
It's just a tool. This is not the thing I

254
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:25,399
live and die for. It's the thing that I use

255
00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:30,120
to live. Okay, I'm gonna walk you through this, and

256
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,559
many people have gotten that out of order. So as

257
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,919
I teach you this series, I'm teaching from a place

258
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,960
that I have walked out of poverty into a level

259
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,559
of purpose that allows me to understand the concept. So

260
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,799
I'm going to identify with every person in this room

261
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:49,240
to be able to help us walk into a brand

262
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,120
new mindset and get a revelation.

263
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: And what is a revelation. It's just revealed truth.

264
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,639
Speaker 2: It's a truth that's already there, but we don't see

265
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,639
it yet. And I believe God is going to allow

266
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,399
so many people to see the truth that God wants

267
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,240
you to live.

268
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,559
Speaker 3: An abundance life. Can I get one big amen? All right?

269
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: So there's this thing that's been happening to me lately

270
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:10,279
as I'm getting a little older.

271
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:12,879
Speaker 3: I'll be forty this year.

272
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, I'm excited about being forty, Like it

273
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:18,799
feels like my life is just beginning. I Mean, I

274
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,159
don't know what seventy five feels like, Bishop, but forty

275
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:21,799
feel good.

276
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I know what to and

277
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
what to what not to do for me.

278
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,639
Speaker 2: I understand how my body works now, and I'm figuring

279
00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:30,720
out what I like to.

280
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:31,919
Speaker 3: Do and what I don't like to do.

281
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: I sometimes, you know, get it wrong of how athletic

282
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:38,679
I still am. I've had a nagging injury that has

283
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,519
gone from my ankle to my knee now to my brain.

284
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:49,120
But but I consider myself a pretty relevant person, and

285
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:52,440
I was I give compliments. I'm an encourager, so like,

286
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,600
if you know me, you're around me, I'm gonna tell you, like, man,

287
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:56,480
you look nicer, da.

288
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,919
Speaker 3: Da da da. So I was talking to a god

289
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:58,399
the other.

290
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,559
Speaker 2: Day and I said, man, you're handsome, and out of

291
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,920
the blue, I heard somebody say, hey, yo, Pauls.

292
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,079
Speaker 3: And I looked at him, all like, heyo, Paul's. What

293
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:13,799
do you mean Paul's. I've been getting paused a lot,

294
00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:17,039
and I wasn't clear.

295
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: What pausing was until I asked my daughter. I was like,

296
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,400
what is Pauls. It's like, it's like, you know, when

297
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,200
you probably like what you said meant one thing, but

298
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:31,160
because of the cultural definition of it, it now means

299
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,839
something else.

300
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: And so I was like, so I can't tell another

301
00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:37,720
man he handsome, and it was like hey, yo, pause,

302
00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:40,559
And I was like, what hold on? What are you

303
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,400
talking about?

304
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: And I'm confused, I'm frustrated.

305
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:44,559
Speaker 3: Some of the older people are looking at me like

306
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:45,559
I still don't get it.

307
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,079
Speaker 2: What they're saying is if I tell another man he's

308
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,400
hands in, somebody might think that maybe I like.

309
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 3: Him in a way that I don't like him.

310
00:17:55,039 --> 00:17:57,559
Speaker 2: And it's not just a compliment, it's more than a compliment,

311
00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:00,359
and maybe this could escalate to something. And I was like, up,

312
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,200
I said, I'm a double down. You're not just handsome,

313
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,559
You're God's masterpiece.

314
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: Like whoa, hey yo? Pause, Like why can't I give

315
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:14,680
somebody else to come? Why can't I do it? And

316
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,920
what I realized.

317
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: That pause idea, that pause perception is fueled by ignorance

318
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:26,319
and many times immaturity. I just want to say, I

319
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,119
know the youth section, y'all be pausing all day pause.

320
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,319
Like what I'm saying is when something has a meaning

321
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,839
but it gets twisted. You can be saying one thing,

322
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,079
but somebody take it as something else. And what I

323
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:48,160
figured out is that in twenty twenty six. There are

324
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,839
some phrases that God gives us that have been hijacked

325
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,079
because of ignorance, and today I just I feel like

326
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,039
it's part of my job in the beginning of this

327
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,640
series to literally dismantle one of them so you can

328
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,920
receive what God has called you to receive in this series.

329
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: And as a pastor, this is my job. So I

330
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,119
stand flat.

331
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:16,039
Speaker 2: Footed ten toes down today to tell anybody and everybody

332
00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:20,480
that God has watching this, that we have to come

333
00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:28,519
out of ignorance. Ignorance translated in the Greek actually comes

334
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:32,880
down to darkness. Wherever there is darkness in your life,

335
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,599
you're ignorant in that area.

336
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: You can't see it.

337
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: And when you begin to study out scripture, I need

338
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,359
everybody to understand that understanding actually means light. So when

339
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,759
you're ignorant, you're in darkness. When you get understanding, you're

340
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:49,000
in light. That's why the Bible says and all you're

341
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,160
getting I need you to get an understanding.

342
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:52,799
Speaker 3: That's why we.

343
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: Can't take TikTok clips and create.

344
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,279
Speaker 3: Theologies around them.

345
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,319
Speaker 2: Because you didn't even get an understanding. You didn't check

346
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,640
the source, you don't know who them. People are just

347
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,839
because the lighting was good and the video was high

348
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,000
quality and the voice sounded convincing doesn't.

349
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 3: Mean it's truth.

350
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 2: This is why you can't believe everything you hear about

351
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,119
me online.

352
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: Well, isn't here? Is it here? You ain't never met me,

353
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,400
You ain't even been around me.

354
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,799
Speaker 2: You think I'm short in real life. I can't tell

355
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:26,160
you how many people when they meet me in real

356
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,279
life they're like, dang, you're.

357
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,799
Speaker 3: So tall this screen line to you, I'm almost six

358
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,160
y two.

359
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: What I'm telling you is you cannot form things in

360
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:38,720
your conscience off a clip.

361
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: This is a dangerous time in church. In life, people.

362
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: Are putting things in their body because of a clip.

363
00:20:51,759 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: Y'all.

364
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,839
Speaker 2: Don't ordered stuff off of Amazon because somebody was selling

365
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,079
something on TikTok shop.

366
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,079
Speaker 3: They ain't never take it. They just get paid for it.

367
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,960
You want they results, they don't even do it.

368
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: Okay, And today I have to go in and I

369
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,960
believe it's part of my pastoral responsibility to help you

370
00:21:16,039 --> 00:21:18,880
be able to redeem a word that has been hijacked

371
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:22,200
that if I was to say it in Christianity, a.

372
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,079
Speaker 3: Lot of people would say, pause, can I give you

373
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,799
the word? Y'all? Ready?

374
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:36,279
Speaker 2: For it. Prosperity a your pause, because right now in

375
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,480
the world, if I say the word prosperity and then

376
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:44,839
I put the word gospel behind it, there are people

377
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,920
who have no idea what it actually means, but they

378
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:58,200
stay away from it. Prosperity pause, or that's a prosperity church,

379
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:00,480
or they teaching a prosperity gospel.

380
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: Oh they are?

381
00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: They all about prosperity. Have you studied it? Have you

382
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,200
checked the source? Do you know where it came from?

383
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:17,039
Do you have any context around that phrase? And right

384
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:23,119
now it's being not just hijacked, it's being weaponized. And

385
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,359
today I need us to pause, or let me say

386
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,359
say law, which actually means pause.

387
00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: And you don't just need to pause, you need to pause.

388
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,559
Speaker 2: In because if you say law and get the understanding

389
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:38,359
and then you come to the conclusion, I don't want

390
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,720
nothing to do with that. Cool, But many of us

391
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:44,680
have walked away watched this from a principle and a

392
00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:51,960
promise of God because it has bad cultural connotation. The

393
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,039
word gospel means good news.

394
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: But I have to acknowledge that people have gotten involved.

395
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: So when somebody says, if you're new to church or

396
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,359
you've never heard this idea or this theme.

397
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:09,039
Speaker 3: I'm gonna help you because you're gonna be so ahead of.

398
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: The game, because you're not gonna have to filter through

399
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,759
a bunch of toxicity and all kinds of stuff.

400
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:14,839
Speaker 3: But I want to put everybody on the same playing field.

401
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: When people say prosperity gospel, it is culturally complicated because

402
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:27,799
what they mean by that is that this prosperity gospel

403
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:35,240
is centered around manipulation, around money, deceptive motives, an opulent lifestyle,

404
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:38,319
lot of reliving. I'm gonna give gods some it. He

405
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:46,200
gonna change change, hit me back with tenfold selfish, gain

406
00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:52,960
a pyramid, skin, give ten, get twenty, give twenty, get

407
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,640
a thousand.

408
00:23:56,759 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: And it's been around.

409
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:04,799
Speaker 2: Exploiting vulnerable peace people and praying on people's ignorance. You

410
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,920
got a church that ain't got no heir, but the

411
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,400
pastor has a private jet.

412
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:11,559
Speaker 3: Come on, if we're gonna.

413
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,279
Speaker 2: Talk about Okay, if we're gonna.

414
00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:15,319
Speaker 3: Talk about it, let's talk about it.

415
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: The building fund ain't nothing ever got built.

416
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: Come on.

417
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: People then gave their life savings Granny undone.

418
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:25,319
Speaker 3: It but no actual evidence.

419
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 2: And because people have gotten involved, I want to give

420
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,960
you the title of my message today, A good word

421
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,160
has gone bad.

422
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,079
Speaker 3: Today.

423
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,319
Speaker 2: The title of the message is a good word gone bad.

424
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,759
The problem with prosperity I gotta help you, because if

425
00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:50,480
you don't get your own understanding from God about this word,

426
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:55,240
you will let culture rob you of a promise that

427
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:56,720
God gave before.

428
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 3: Any of us was here.

429
00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: Okay, you want to know the problem with prosperity, it's

430
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:02,839
three things.

431
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 3: Let me tell you.

432
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:10,839
Speaker 2: The problem with prosperity is people, perception and perversion. When

433
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,160
you bring prosperity into it, people have manipulated people in

434
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,319
the name of a word that God gave us that

435
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,640
have nothing to do with him. And as long as

436
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,079
there will be people on this earth, somebody will try

437
00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:25,920
to twist what.

438
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:26,799
Speaker 3: God says is good.

439
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,559
Speaker 2: Can I tell you all the way back in Genesis

440
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:35,680
when God told Adam and Eve, like, hey, you protected

441
00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:39,119
you good. You can eat from any tree except this one.

442
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,720
What was the enemy's first conversation with man?

443
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: Did God really say?

444
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,039
Speaker 2: He was trying to pervert what God said was good

445
00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:56,200
into something that was bad. So anytime you see the

446
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,960
word prosperity, think about the people who are talking about it,

447
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,640
and then you have to think about the perception.

448
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: What is the.

449
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,039
Speaker 2: Perception behind it and has it been perverted? Pastor Mike,

450
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:14,640
why is this important? Because prosperity is biblical. If I

451
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,680
said prayer was biblical, you'd be like, Amen, Glory to God,

452
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,200
pray for me.

453
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: Pastor.

454
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: If I said healing is biblical, everybody will want healing.

455
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: If I said love is biblical for God's oh love

456
00:26:28,279 --> 00:26:37,160
the world, Oh God, that he gave prosperity is biblical.

457
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,319
Speaker 2: Let me prove with you, because y'all look at like

458
00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:41,400
give me Scripture Deuteronomy twenty eight eleven.

459
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,519
Speaker 3: Listen to this. The Lord who will the Lord who

460
00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:48,400
will do it? The Lord, the Lord will grant you

461
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:52,359
abundant prosperity. Therese are two words.

462
00:26:53,799 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 4: The Lord will grant you abundant prosper Stop. Think what

463
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,720
would abundant prosperity from God look like. The Lord will

464
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:12,200
grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your womb,

465
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:15,920
the young of your livestock, and your crops of the ground.

466
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,079
Speaker 2: He's saying, your business will prosper in the land he

467
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,680
swore to your ancestors to give you. This is a

468
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,359
promise that.

469
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: Was started before you.

470
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: The Lord will open up the heavens, my God, the

471
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,480
storehouses of his bounty, to send rain on your land

472
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,559
in season, and to bless all the work of your hands.

473
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:39,200
You will lend to many nations, but will borrow from

474
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,400
none of them. The Lord will make you the head

475
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,839
and not the tale. If you pay attention to the

476
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,079
commands of the Lord your God that I give you

477
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,000
this day, and carefully follow them. That means there's obedience

478
00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:55,319
attached to abundance.

479
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,599
Speaker 3: Did you hear what I just said? Obedien is attached.

480
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: To oh bn Okay, it says if you do what

481
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:08,799
he says, you will always be at the top, never

482
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,000
at the bottom.

483
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: Bible.

484
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: That's not enough for some of you because you're a

485
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,920
skeptic Proverbs eleven twenty five.

486
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 3: A generous person will say the word with me, prosper.

487
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,599
I know it's like a cuss word. I don't want

488
00:28:25,599 --> 00:28:26,160
to say it.

489
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,799
Speaker 2: What if somebody sees me. What if God promised it

490
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:36,680
to you? What if it's a benefit of being in

491
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,960
the kingdom of God? Nobody no good father would ever

492
00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:43,119
tell their child. I don't want you to prosper.

493
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: Okay.

494
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: I would never go to my children and be like

495
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,200
I hope you stay the same. I hope you really

496
00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:55,920
hit a like loop in your life, like real cyclic,

497
00:28:56,119 --> 00:29:01,000
real cycle cycle, son cycle child. Don't want you to prosper.

498
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:02,519
I want you to prosper in your thinking. I want

499
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:04,920
you to grow and your ability to perceive. I want

500
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,240
you to understand your emotions. I want you to be

501
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:10,559
able to manage things. I want you to This is

502
00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:13,480
the same thing God saying about you because you're his child.

503
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,759
He said, if you're generous, you're going to prosper.

504
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:26,279
Speaker 3: Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed God some Mike.

505
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 2: Both of those are Old Testament examples. We are under

506
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:37,559
a new covenant. Y'all want some new you want some

507
00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:41,920
New Testament on that. I want you to understand we're

508
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,960
under a new covenant, but we serve a God with

509
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,759
the same character. Me and PC were talking about that

510
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,640
that the new Covenant does not demolish God's old character.

511
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,359
So if he was good, he's still gonna be good.

512
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,079
If he did provide, he's still gonna provide. If he

513
00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:06,440
did love you, he's still gonna love you. Third John

514
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,640
New Testament, Chapter one, Verse two, beloved it.

515
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: I pray that you y'all gotta say it with me,

516
00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:16,759
y'all scared the cussing church.

517
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: I pray that you prosper in No, only some of them,

518
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,799
he says. I pray that you prosper in your business,

519
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,640
your family, your finances, your health.

520
00:30:35,839 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: I want your hair growth to prosper.

521
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,839
Speaker 2: I want your eyebrows to be on flee. I pray

522
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,480
that you prosper in encouragement.

523
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: I pray that you prosper. And some of.

524
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,039
Speaker 2: Y'all want to leave God's desire for us and his

525
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,920
design for us on the table because of somebody else's definition.

526
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,279
You gonna leave what God said on the table because

527
00:31:04,319 --> 00:31:07,319
of what Gary said. I'm gonna choose another name. Bishop,

528
00:31:07,359 --> 00:31:15,720
it's your birthday because of what Garrett said. Guys, you

529
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:24,839
cannot let culture define what God's already defined. So, Pastor Mike,

530
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,359
what's your whole point today today? If you don't get

531
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,240
nothing else, I want you to know this one thing.

532
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:36,319
Speaker 3: You have permission to prosper. Somebody should get excited about that.

533
00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:43,400
You have permission by God's word.

534
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: Not Pastor Mike's word, by God's word.

535
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,839
Speaker 3: To it's good news.

536
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,079
Speaker 2: You have permission to prosper. The Todd family has permission

537
00:31:56,119 --> 00:32:01,240
to prosper. Transformation Church has permission to calf family though,

538
00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:03,799
the Heck and Box family, the Great family.

539
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: We have permission to.

540
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:09,039
Speaker 2: I tell my kids, you have permission to prosper. You

541
00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:11,319
have permission to be everything God's called you to be.

542
00:32:11,759 --> 00:32:16,160
My daughters today they brought a business to church.

543
00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:19,599
Speaker 3: The other day. My daughter's been into baking.

544
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: Eva been into bacon, and so she baked some rice

545
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:24,279
Chrispy treats.

546
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,519
Speaker 3: And I don't know what kind of heaven.

547
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,799
Speaker 2: That the Holy Spirit slipped into those Rice Christ retreats,

548
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,519
or it could just be I ain't been eating sugar

549
00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:36,519
like that, but I bit into that thing. And you

550
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:38,599
know when you eat something and make your knees do.

551
00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:42,559
Speaker 3: A little ooh whoo. So me and me and her

552
00:32:42,599 --> 00:32:45,960
mom was just hyping her up. Ah, these Rice Christ

553
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,039
retreat it's the ball. You should sell them, you should say.

554
00:32:49,079 --> 00:32:50,920
And Ava's like me when I was little. She was

555
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:57,880
like hmm. So she employed her older sister and her

556
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,920
she has two employees.

557
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: Her, her oldest son, and Coco have baked up sixty

558
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:11,839
rice Crispy trees, packaged them, put pink bowls on them, done.

559
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,359
Speaker 3: All this other stuff.

560
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,279
Speaker 2: And brought them to church to use their nepotism to

561
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:27,440
make you buy them. They have fully taken advantage of

562
00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:28,240
their last name.

563
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 3: You already bought some. Oh, they already bought something.

564
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,359
Speaker 2: Hear me, and everything in me is saying, prosper, baby,

565
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:45,039
Take the little that God's given you. It may seem

566
00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:48,119
like nothing to anybody else, but I want you to try.

567
00:33:48,319 --> 00:33:51,240
You're only seven years old, but you're gonna learn things

568
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:53,559
right now. That's gonna set you up to be in

569
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,160
business and bless.

570
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,799
Speaker 3: Other people later on. Now, we ain't just.

571
00:33:56,759 --> 00:33:58,319
Speaker 2: Gonna take all that money and go spend it.

572
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna honor God with it. We're gonna teach them priority.

573
00:34:01,759 --> 00:34:02,799
I want you too.

574
00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:08,199
Speaker 2: If me, as a father with human sin running through

575
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:12,360
my veins, wants my child.

576
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 3: To prosper, how much more you have permission?

577
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: I want you to feel that in your soul, he said,

578
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,199
Above all else.

579
00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: I want, above all else, above praying for twelve hours,

580
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:35,920
Come on, y'all, we're gonna do it. But above that,

581
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:39,360
above spending all day in worship.

582
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: Above above I want you to prosper in all things

583
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:50,960
at the level watch this that your soul prospers, mind,

584
00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:53,280
will and emotion. So he said, I don't want you

585
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,840
to just have all things. That's why you can have

586
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,199
all things and still not be fulfilled. And that's why

587
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:03,480
another scripture says, what does it profit a man to

588
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:08,760
gain the whole world and lose his God says, soul

589
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,920
needs to be wealthy and at the level of your

590
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:18,320
soul prospers. Let your money prosper, Let your relationships prosper.

591
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 3: You have permission to prosper. That's some way for real.

592
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the truth of the matter is this term

593
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:38,599
was defined by God before we ever heard it. And

594
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,760
always check the source of the place you're finding out

595
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,480
your information.

596
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:46,159
Speaker 3: I only chose three scriptures so.

597
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:48,199
Speaker 2: That we could get out on time today. But through

598
00:35:48,199 --> 00:35:54,280
this whole series, I'm gonna teach you that you're right

599
00:35:54,559 --> 00:36:02,159
as a king's kid. It's to prosper in every era.

600
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,800
You should be the best at your job. Okay, I

601
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,880
have the advantage. I have the Holy Spirit. I can't

602
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,440
know what the meeting's gonna be about for our walk

603
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,599
in the meeting, y'all, y'all don't hear me. You have

604
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,000
somebody say I have the advantage. There are things in.

605
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,519
Speaker 3: Wisdom and desernment, and.

606
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,159
Speaker 2: Why would you leave the promises of God on the

607
00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:32,320
table just because somebody else doesn't understand it, never experience

608
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,559
do or can't define it.

609
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 3: Do we just leave the Holy Spirit out of our.

610
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: Christian walk because certain groups of people don't understand the

611
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:41,719
Holy Spirit.

612
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,679
Speaker 3: Before any of us was here, the Bible tells us.

613
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,679
Speaker 2: Jesus says, it's better that I leave, because when I leave,

614
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,679
I'm sinning another one.

615
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 3: He's the Holy Spirit, the paraclet.

616
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: The one that will come alongside of you and help,

617
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,199
and he's gonna guide you in your day to day.

618
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: Into all truth.

619
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:07,039
Speaker 2: That's why the truth is important, y'all. He sets you free.

620
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:12,119
So anytime there's a term in church that kind of

621
00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:15,400
gets twisted, it's a good word that goes bad, I

622
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,719
want you to put it in this matrix. I want

623
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,599
you to put the term in, and then I want

624
00:37:20,679 --> 00:37:23,880
you to define it by the truth of God's word.

625
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:27,039
Then I want you to see where the enemy would

626
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:27,920
try to twist it.

627
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,599
Speaker 3: And then I want you to see where he's trying

628
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:31,239
to trick you.

629
00:37:33,199 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: Okay, just write that down term truth, twist trick because again,

630
00:37:41,639 --> 00:37:44,559
the enemy's plan is to turn everything that God says

631
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:48,960
is good into something that you think is bad. Because

632
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,280
the enemy doesn't need to kill you if he makes

633
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,480
God's promises to you powerless.

634
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: Remember his job is to steal, kill and destroy. Pastor

635
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,679
Charles said it a week ago. He said, he does

636
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,880
not have to kill you if he actually steals the

637
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,119
purpose and the use of the thing.

638
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,159
Speaker 2: So your life will be destroyed if you don't think

639
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,159
that you can be abundant.

640
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 3: So all your prayers is about God. Could you just

641
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,159
please me by need? I think I want your needs.

642
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:24,400
I know God.

643
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes if it was me, he what But because of

644
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,239
a mindset or a mind you can be healed, you

645
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,360
can be free. It's not just with the word prosperity.

646
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,920
It's with many words that we have in the church.

647
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:44,840
And the enemy has tricked us to make us feel

648
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:47,400
that we cannot fully believe in them, so that they're

649
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,920
powerless in our lives. This is why some people can

650
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,480
come into a service and get healed because they actually

651
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,760
believe God can heal. And there are other people that

652
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,679
will be in that same service and need the healing,

653
00:38:58,199 --> 00:38:59,559
but they feel nothing.

654
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 3: Not because God's not moving.

655
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,119
Speaker 2: It's because somewhere deep down that thing has gotten to

656
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,719
us where it's changed our mindset about what God can do.

657
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,039
Speaker 3: And so what I'm telling you is marriages can be restored.

658
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:14,239
Do you believe it.

659
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,039
Speaker 2: There's a story in the Bible where a man literally

660
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:24,960
went into the prostitution house to get y'all don't y'all

661
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,320
don't want to do that. It's too real. God said,

662
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,519
go get her out of the place of perversion, speak

663
00:39:33,599 --> 00:39:37,320
words of life over her, restore.

664
00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 3: Her, and their.

665
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: Relationship was reconciled. God can do these things. Question is

666
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:47,119
do you believe it? And has a good word gone bad?

667
00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 3: Okay? Right now?

668
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 2: If I told somebody the term I'm about to use

669
00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:57,239
is cold, Hey, man, she cold? Oh man, that dude

670
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,039
on the basketball court he cold? Or if I said, man,

671
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:07,239
it's cold in here, it's the same word. It's the

672
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:12,119
same word, but depending on who's using it, how they're

673
00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:18,239
using it, where they're using it, it has totally different definitions.

674
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 3: Term cold. The truth it's a frigid temperature.

675
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: The twist could be all, dang, she look cold, she

676
00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:26,519
looked good.

677
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: The trick is that in the wrong.

678
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: Situation, a compliment could be taken as an insult. Do

679
00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:40,639
y'all see if we're not working from the same definitions

680
00:40:40,679 --> 00:40:42,360
the right things you mean the wrong thing and get

681
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,960
a bad reaction. Let me use the inverse hot bro,

682
00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:54,320
she's hot, Come on, my wife's favorite one. It's hot

683
00:40:54,320 --> 00:41:00,960
in here like like same word, but depending on who's

684
00:41:01,039 --> 00:41:05,119
using it, where the context, it can mean to if I'm.

685
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 3: In the hood and.

686
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: Somebody says the block is hot, some of y'all know.

687
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 3: Some of y'all know.

688
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 2: If somebody say the block is hot, the block, some

689
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:16,800
of y'all know, cash money for.

690
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: The nine nine two thousand. If I say the block

691
00:41:24,039 --> 00:41:26,760
is hot, it doesn't mean we need a fan.

692
00:41:29,199 --> 00:41:34,079
Speaker 2: It means the popo is watching and you need to

693
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:39,920
calm down whatever activities you're doing. What I'm saying is,

694
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:47,239
if you don't define the term find the truth, you

695
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:54,599
can be tripped into compromise. And when it comes to

696
00:41:54,639 --> 00:42:00,840
the term prosperity, what's the truth that God says Abundance

697
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,400
is what God wants in every area of your life.

698
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 3: That's what the scripture says.

699
00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 2: The twist is perversion of a godly principle to leave

700
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:18,519
you powerless, and the trick is to leave you compromised.

701
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:22,920
So anytime you hear the word prosperity or somebody saying

702
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,679
that's a prosperity church or a prosperity gospel, or a

703
00:42:25,679 --> 00:42:30,639
prosperity something. You don't even investigate more. You don't say, God,

704
00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:32,280
what is the truth? You're trying to show me? What

705
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,000
is the thing? There are people that have told me, Oh,

706
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,920
I can't go to your church because you're a prosperity church,

707
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:44,280
because we're big. You don't say that about Amazon. Nobody

708
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,880
says that about Walmurter Costco.

709
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,159
Speaker 3: They don't say I can't come to you because you're big, like.

710
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,119
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is because of the

711
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,159
term and how people's mindset has been preferred, I ain't

712
00:42:57,199 --> 00:42:59,119
never once say you have never heard me say we're

713
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:02,400
a prosperity You never heard me say that's not a

714
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:03,360
claim on anything.

715
00:43:04,559 --> 00:43:07,159
Speaker 3: What it is is when you live God's principles, though,

716
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:10,360
fruit starts happening.

717
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:18,199
Speaker 2: If fruit is around me, it's a byproduct.

718
00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:19,039
Speaker 3: This is what we say.

719
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 2: It's not the focus, it's the fruit. This is what

720
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,559
God promises.

721
00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:26,159
Speaker 3: In our lives.

722
00:43:26,639 --> 00:43:30,199
Speaker 2: You will be like a tree planted by the rivers

723
00:43:30,199 --> 00:43:35,280
of living water. You will be producing fruit and every

724
00:43:35,559 --> 00:43:39,280
seat when everybody's in recession, when everybody's fearful, when everything

725
00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:42,280
God said fruit abundance.

726
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: More than enough, more than enough, more.

727
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:52,559
Speaker 2: Than enough, And you want me to wither up, You

728
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:56,760
want me to deny the fruit that God promises us. Now,

729
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:03,280
if at the moment you see some crooked, manipulative, jacked

730
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,719
up we've given millions of dollars away. One thing nobody

731
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,320
has ever said is that the check we promised.

732
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: Them did not clear.

733
00:44:14,079 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: You can say, you can say a lot of things,

734
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,559
and you can assume a lot of things.

735
00:44:18,559 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 3: But one YouTube.

736
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:25,039
Speaker 2: Video that has never been created, it's that they promised

737
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:27,239
me an amount from the stage, did the check and

738
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,400
put it on the thing, and we weren't able to

739
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:37,800
cash it. Do you know we couldn't bless people if

740
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,360
we didn't prosper Oh God, if I was still in

741
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,280
a poverty mindset, we would be building buildings and shrines

742
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:49,119
to us. We've given away over thirty eight million dollars. Why,

743
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,760
because we live a life of abundance.

744
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 3: It's not just for us, it's for the whole kingdom.

745
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,760
It's not just for me, it's from my neighborhood. It's

746
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,719
not just for my it's for the generation.

747
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:13,159
Speaker 2: And if prosperity is a promise of God, where has

748
00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:14,199
it been perverted in you.

749
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: If it's just a semantic thing. Don't use the word prosperity,

750
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:21,679
use abundance.

751
00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:26,519
Speaker 2: That's why I titled the series six Figures how to

752
00:45:26,599 --> 00:45:29,320
Live a Life of abundance, but it could very well

753
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:34,320
be titled six Figures how to live a life of prosperity,

754
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,639
because it's.

755
00:45:35,519 --> 00:45:36,679
Speaker 3: What God desired.

756
00:45:37,199 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 2: I came that you might have life, and a life

757
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,199
that prospers, or a life that is abundant.

758
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:52,159
Speaker 3: You have permission to prosper.

759
00:45:53,159 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: Out of one hundred people, I pray at sixty two

760
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:01,280
of y'all get this. This is gonna break the mindset

761
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,880
that has kept you low. I need to shrink back.

762
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,440
I need to not show nobody.

763
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 3: I need to not.

764
00:46:10,159 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 2: God says, let me check your heart, let me get

765
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,519
your motives right. Because there's one thing he won't compete

766
00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:18,679
with money.

767
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 3: He says. You can't serve both God and money.

768
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 2: He says, so I'm not competing with that. And think

769
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,920
about it. God compares himself to nobody else in the

770
00:46:30,119 --> 00:46:34,920
entire Bible except the idea of money, because he knows

771
00:46:35,039 --> 00:46:40,239
it has the potential to take his place in our hearts.

772
00:46:41,519 --> 00:46:43,159
Speaker 3: So next week we gotta deal with that.

773
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:47,079
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean you throw away the whole principle,

774
00:46:48,159 --> 00:46:49,920
and you don't throw away the whole promise.

775
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 3: Today you have permission to prosper envision your home being

776
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,039
a place of peace, with.

777
00:46:59,039 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: More than enough room to bring people in and host

778
00:47:03,559 --> 00:47:05,119
them a long table.

779
00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 3: That you can feed, and you don't got to ask

780
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:15,079
everybody to chip in ten dollars to pay for the meal. Well, no,

781
00:47:15,079 --> 00:47:19,000
they're there. You still got a poverty mindset. I'm not

782
00:47:19,039 --> 00:47:21,199
saying you don't do that why you have.

783
00:47:21,079 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 2: To, But what if you could bring people to your

784
00:47:25,519 --> 00:47:30,199
home and it just be freely given to them, so

785
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,159
that you could do as the Bible says in Acts

786
00:47:32,159 --> 00:47:35,400
two forty two, they met together and ate together, and

787
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:40,320
shared together, and they gave one to each other whatever

788
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,480
the other person needed. What if somebody came to you

789
00:47:44,519 --> 00:47:46,480
and said I need a car, and all you had

790
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:47,519
to do is like what kind?

791
00:47:50,679 --> 00:47:52,559
Speaker 3: They don't want to live, They don't want to live

792
00:47:52,559 --> 00:47:55,719
in a pundit light. And right now, some of you

793
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,280
greed just came up in you.

794
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 2: Because what just what's happened when I've talked about that

795
00:48:01,559 --> 00:48:05,519
level of abundance, you started thinking about yourself. Well before

796
00:48:05,559 --> 00:48:07,239
I get them another car. Let me figure out what

797
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,920
my car is doing. Because if I'll get in my

798
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:10,719
car and then I'll.

799
00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:15,519
Speaker 3: Go get a new car. What just triggered? What just

800
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:17,199
came up? That's what we have to address.

801
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,599
Speaker 2: What if God told you to stay in the apartment

802
00:48:21,639 --> 00:48:23,559
and help pay somebody's mortgage for a year.

803
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 3: Oh y'all don't want to live an ass two forty

804
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,559
two church. They gave whatever somebody needed.

805
00:48:37,639 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 2: Pessor Mike, why are you talking about this because I

806
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,760
live it. I can't prove it to you. I won't

807
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,360
that would be futile. But there are people around me

808
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:56,599
that know. I went from thinking about myself in every situation,

809
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:02,880
because that's what sin is, it's selfish. I used to

810
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:07,039
be so poor in my mindset, like I used to like,

811
00:49:07,559 --> 00:49:09,920
you know, you go to something and like you make

812
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,920
a to gold plate before you eat the plate that

813
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:17,159
you y'all know what I'm talking about, Like, oh, there's

814
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:20,519
plenty here, so let me take it to the car

815
00:49:21,599 --> 00:49:30,760
then come in with a fresh face. Poverty because I

816
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,880
was thinking, oh, this is this is free, somebody provided this.

817
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,039
Speaker 3: How do I take advantage of it? How do I

818
00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:39,320
get more from myself?

819
00:49:40,199 --> 00:49:42,079
Speaker 2: How do I make sure I have food tonight and

820
00:49:42,159 --> 00:49:45,400
tomorrow and the next day.

821
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 3: I used to.

822
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: I used to wear stuff and place the tag gently

823
00:49:56,119 --> 00:50:00,480
and then take it back. Oh oh, I didn't hear

824
00:50:00,519 --> 00:50:01,519
some of y'all look convicted.

825
00:50:02,119 --> 00:50:04,079
Speaker 3: I just looked at somebody. Their eyes looked at me.

826
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:10,519
Speaker 2: Big, use the stuff for the party, and then take

827
00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:17,039
it back. Everything that you can that's stealing, know it ain't,

828
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,760
or they can resell it. It's got your germs on it.

829
00:50:23,639 --> 00:50:26,039
And the reason I'm saying that is some people can't

830
00:50:26,079 --> 00:50:31,480
divorce a lifestyle that that is somehow good stewardship instead

831
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,800
of stealing, and that God could bless you enough to

832
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,280
where you could just buy it and use it and

833
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:43,039
then give it away to somebody.

834
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 3: You ain't even thought about that. You ain't even thought like.

835
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: Oh, you just take it back, like yeah, take it

836
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,000
back if you don't use it, take it back if

837
00:50:49,039 --> 00:50:51,119
it don't fit. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that.

838
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:57,800
But if you fully put your butt in it, wear it,

839
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,679
passed gas in it, use the rest of you. No,

840
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,239
I'm serious, and then.

841
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:07,079
Speaker 3: You and then you take it back.

842
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 2: You're nasty and you have a poverty mindset, and God's

843
00:51:18,079 --> 00:51:20,199
desires for you to go into the store and see

844
00:51:20,199 --> 00:51:21,960
somebody looking at it and be like, let me get

845
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:31,199
that for you. Drea, I'm talking about living an abundant life.

846
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,920
I don't need this anymore. Well, it's exclusive. This is

847
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,239
tight on my feet. Some of y'all are in closed

848
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:45,760
right now that are hurting you. They're digging into your sides,

849
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,559
digging into your pinkies, digging into your head.

850
00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:53,679
Speaker 3: But because it's cool, because it makes you feel you

851
00:51:53,800 --> 00:52:02,480
are in pain, you stop listening in thirty minutes. And

852
00:52:02,519 --> 00:52:04,679
the truthful matter, it didn't fit when you bought it,

853
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,000
But the truth.

854
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 2: Is that there's something in your mind that says you

855
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,000
can't get another one. And so instead of being a

856
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,880
blessing to somebody, you could really be a blessing and

857
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:18,880
add no sorrow to.

858
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,639
Speaker 3: You. Keep it, you hold it, you hoard it.

859
00:52:26,519 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 2: I just believe, by crazy faith, there are some people

860
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:31,920
under the sound of my voice that this is about

861
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,159
to unlock something in you.

862
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,679
Speaker 3: That you have permission to prosper.

863
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 2: The abundant life is the fruit of focusing on Jesus

864
00:52:48,119 --> 00:52:49,719
and obeying what he says.

865
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,639
Speaker 3: I just want to clear this up. Two minutes and

866
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:55,280
we're out. Of here.

867
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,679
Speaker 2: I want to take this good word prosperity that has

868
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,599
gone bad in this culture, and I want to just

869
00:53:05,679 --> 00:53:06,639
clarify some.

870
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 3: Statements just for those who will.

871
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: Watch this and clip it up and try to make

872
00:53:13,079 --> 00:53:17,440
something I didn't say be said. Let me just say it,

873
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:18,800
and I'm gonna put on the screen for all of

874
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,800
those that can't hear the words that I'm saying.

875
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 3: And you need proof in letters. Here we go. It's

876
00:53:26,039 --> 00:53:30,039
having money prove you are blessed by God?

877
00:53:30,599 --> 00:53:30,679
Speaker 2: No?

878
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 3: Can having money be used to be a blessing? Yes?

879
00:53:37,679 --> 00:53:40,840
Does faith always lead to financial blessing? No?

880
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,079
Speaker 2: Do you need faith to live financially free, fulfilled and

881
00:53:46,119 --> 00:53:51,119
be a blessing? Yes? Does God promise you riches if

882
00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:54,480
you follow him? No, not one disciple got that promise.

883
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,599
But does God promise to meet all of your needs?

884
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 3: Yes? If you give, are you guaranteed multiplied personal wealth?

885
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:12,199
Speaker 2: No? Does God say that being generous has a direct

886
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,159
impact on our lives? Yes?

887
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 3: Should you spend life focused on material things?

888
00:54:19,159 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 2: No?

889
00:54:20,199 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 3: Don't store upon this earth.

890
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 2: Resources and treasure that's gonna rust, he said, send it

891
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,320
to the next life. Put your heart into things that matter.

892
00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:33,880
But are material things a tool? To bless others and

893
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:34,760
glorify God.

894
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:35,519
Speaker 3: Yes.

895
00:54:37,159 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 2: Does God guarantee perfect health and wealth?

896
00:54:40,199 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 3: No? But does God care about your health and wealth? Yes?

897
00:54:47,079 --> 00:54:53,519
Speaker 2: Does the Bible teach the prosperity gospel? No, he doesn't

898
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:58,239
preach the prosperity gospel in the definition that culture believes.

899
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,800
But is the story of the gospel God dying so

900
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,800
that you can prosper in this life and the next. Yes,

901
00:55:12,519 --> 00:55:17,920
you have permission to prosper, standing all over this building.

902
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:34,119
If God doesn't give Jesus, and Jesus doesn't give his life,

903
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,480
we don't get to prosper.

904
00:55:37,559 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it one more time.

905
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 2: The whole gospel is that we was gonna be jacked up.

906
00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:47,719
So God gave Jesus. Jesus gave his life so that

907
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,559
then we could give our life back to him. The

908
00:55:51,639 --> 00:55:55,320
whole story of the gospel, the Good News, is about giving.

909
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,840
God gave, Jesus gave, we give. Did y'all just see

910
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:04,320
it that quit God gave Jesus. Jesus gave his life

911
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:09,159
so that we can give our life back to him.

912
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,800
So if we don't want to talk about giving and

913
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,000
generosity and prospering, how does our soul prosper.

914
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 3: If we don't give our life to Jesus.

915
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:23,199
Speaker 2: Today, you don't just have permission to prosper in financial

916
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,639
things or material things.

917
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 3: That's low level. I want your soul to prosper today.

918
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,559
Speaker 2: If you don't know Jesus, I want to introduce you

919
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,800
to the greatest gift that has ever been given. You

920
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:47,920
talking about giving money, try giving your only. That's what

921
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,320
God did for a chance at a relationship with me

922
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,440
and you and some of us are still holding onto

923
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,119
our lives because we want to do it our way,

924
00:56:56,159 --> 00:56:58,280
and we want it to be on our terms, and

925
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,400
we want to make the own rules we're.

926
00:57:00,639 --> 00:57:02,039
Speaker 3: Figuring out that don't work anyway.

927
00:57:03,039 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 2: I need a church to begin to pray because there

928
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,880
are people right now that this message wasn't even about

929
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,639
anything material for you. It was for the one thing

930
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,639
that God has been after your whole life, your soul.

931
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:22,519
And today God wants your soul to prosper. Everything else

932
00:57:22,519 --> 00:57:27,360
will come, everything else will come. But he's saying, my

933
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,360
father gave, and I gave my life.

934
00:57:31,599 --> 00:57:32,559
Speaker 3: Would you give yours?

935
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,199
Speaker 2: Would you allow me to be the lord of your

936
00:57:36,239 --> 00:57:40,599
life so that you could prosper in all things in

937
00:57:40,639 --> 00:57:44,320
your marriage and your relationship and your ideas and your thoughts.

938
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,599
I want to give you these six figures, but if

939
00:57:48,639 --> 00:57:51,880
you don't give me your heart first, you're not gonna

940
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,840
believe the things that I'm promising, because they're good and

941
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,000
they're scandalous, the gospel scandalous. How in the world do

942
00:57:58,039 --> 00:58:02,320
I mess up and get the best reward? How in

943
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,440
the world can I still have a habit? And God

944
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,360
looks beyond my faults and says, Yeah, I'm not gonna

945
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:07,159
judge you on the habit.

946
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 3: If you give me your heart, I'll help you change

947
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:09,400
your habit.

948
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: Who racks up a bill and then the person who

949
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,280
owns the restaurant comes and say, I'll pay for it.

950
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:24,920
That's the God we serve. What a mighty God we serve.

951
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:30,360
What a grace fell God. What a prosperous God. What

952
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:35,400
a God that abounds in love? Or an abundant God.

953
00:58:37,239 --> 00:58:40,239
He wants you to live an abundant life. But it

954
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,440
starts with an action of surrender. If you're under the

955
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,480
sound of my voice in this building, watching online, watching

956
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,000
in a prison cell, and you've been far from God,

957
00:58:50,639 --> 00:58:53,880
or you've never given your life to him before, today

958
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000
is the day of salvation. This is the step you're

959
00:58:57,039 --> 00:58:59,719
about to make into an abundant life.

960
00:59:00,039 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 3: Your soul is about to prosper.

961
00:59:02,039 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: And I know their habits and cultural ideas and things

962
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,400
that you've been taught. Let God renew you, refresh you,

963
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,920
give you a brand new heart. Today is a day

964
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,800
that you've been praying for and you didn't know it

965
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,199
was gonna come today. But do not think that this

966
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,960
is an accident. Your whole life has been leading up

967
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:21,079
to this moment, and today all you have to.

968
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,039
Speaker 3: Do is receive the free gift.

969
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 2: Of grace that God has given you for this abundant life.

970
00:59:28,079 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 3: John ten Ten says it's the whole reason.

971
00:59:30,079 --> 00:59:35,039
Speaker 2: He came that you could have life and life abundantly.

972
00:59:35,159 --> 00:59:36,639
On the count of three, if you want to make

973
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,000
Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior and you want

974
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,639
to start walking into this abundant life, I just want

975
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:44,639
you to slip your hand in the air or put

976
00:59:44,639 --> 00:59:46,960
a hand on the chat, because this is saying I

977
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,920
identify pastor I want to be added in that prayer church.

978
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,119
I need you to pray because somebody's life is in

979
00:59:52,159 --> 00:59:54,320
the balance right now, and I believe they're about to

980
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,679
make the right decision. One you're making the greatest decision

981
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:58,599
you could ever make.

982
00:59:59,039 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 3: Two you.

983
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 2: But more than that, your name is gonna be written

984
01:00:02,519 --> 01:00:05,400
in the Lamb's Book of life, and your eternity is

985
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,880
gonna be secure if you want to give your life

986
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,599
to Jesus and walk in this abundant life. Three, will

987
01:00:10,639 --> 01:00:12,719
you shoot your hand up all over this place. I

988
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,320
see you, my brother. I see you, my brother, I

989
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,880
see you, my sister. I see you, my brother. I

990
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,239
see you. More than that, God sees you. Can we

991
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:25,519
give God praise right there? Glory to God who I

992
01:00:25,559 --> 01:00:28,679
