00:00:10.667 --> 00:00:12.402
It was the lack of what i did
00:00:12.402 --> 00:00:15.171
Not know that changed me.
00:00:15.171 --> 00:00:17.941
Knowing my authority, knowing
00:00:17.941 --> 00:00:19.409

00:00:19.409 --> 00:00:21.511
Totally grasped the heart
00:00:21.511 --> 00:00:23.179
And transformed me.

>> welcome to our friday's
00:00:27.917 --> 00:00:28.952
Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:28.952 --> 00:00:31.354
Today is the end of my third
00:00:31.354 --> 00:00:32.856
Week teaching on how to stay
00:00:32.856 --> 00:00:35.058
Full of god. that title kind of
00:00:35.058 --> 00:00:37.827
Throws people off, but actually,
00:00:37.827 --> 00:00:39.395
This is taken from romans,
00:00:39.395 --> 00:00:40.930
Chapter 1, verse 21, and this is
00:00:40.997 --> 00:00:42.866
Chapter 1, verse 21, and this is one of the most important things
00:00:42.932 --> 00:00:44.334
One of the most important things that god has ever shown me. you
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:46.069
That god has ever shown me. you know it's one thing to have the
00:00:46.136 --> 00:00:47.237
Know it's one thing to have the lord touch your life and show
00:00:47.303 --> 00:00:49.072
Lord touch your life and show you something, but then how to
00:00:49.139 --> 00:00:50.507
You something, but then how to get from where you are to where
00:00:50.573 --> 00:00:52.809
Get from where you are to where god wants you to go, and to do
00:00:52.876 --> 00:00:55.411
God wants you to go, and to do that and to stay consistent,
00:00:55.478 --> 00:00:57.814
That and to stay consistent, there's not very many people
00:00:57.881 --> 00:00:59.015
There's not very many people that do that. most people are up
00:00:59.082 --> 00:01:00.383
That do that. most people are up and down like a yo-yo. and the
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:02.218
And down like a yo-yo. and the lord has shown me that it's not
00:01:02.285 --> 00:01:03.920
Lord has shown me that it's not god who ever quits transmitting
00:01:03.987 --> 00:01:06.256
God who ever quits transmitting his love, joy, peace, power,
00:01:06.322 --> 00:01:08.691
His love, joy, peace, power, anointing, any of those things.
00:01:08.758 --> 00:01:11.227
Anointing, any of those things. it... it's never his transmitter
00:01:11.294 --> 00:01:12.862
It... it's never his transmitter that's the problem. it's always
00:01:12.929 --> 00:01:14.063
That's the problem. it's always our receiver. there's things we
00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:16.766
Our receiver. there's things we do that release god's love, joy,
00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:20.837
Do that release god's love, joy, and peace in our life. or
00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:22.438
And peace in our life. or there's things we do that hinder
00:01:22.505 --> 00:01:24.140
There's things we do that hinder it. and so this is talking about
00:01:24.207 --> 00:01:26.209
It. and so this is talking about what those things are and how
00:01:26.276 --> 00:01:28.244
To finish your course with joy,
00:01:28.311 --> 00:01:30.980
To finish your course with joy, and this is really important.
00:01:31.047 --> 00:01:32.315
I've been saying so much,
00:01:32.882 --> 00:01:34.117
There's no way i can go
00:01:34.184 --> 00:01:35.018
There's no way i can go back through it. most
00:01:35.084 --> 00:01:36.419
Back through it. most people think that imagination is
00:01:36.486 --> 00:01:38.488
People think that imagination is for children, that adults don't
00:01:38.555 --> 00:01:40.590
For children, that adults don't have an imagination, but the
00:01:40.657 --> 00:01:42.325
Have an imagination, but the truth is you have an image on
00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:44.661
Truth is you have an image on the inside of who you are and
00:01:44.727 --> 00:01:46.796
The inside of who you are and what you can do. and that's your
00:01:46.863 --> 00:01:48.831
What you can do. and that's your imagination. and you've got to
00:01:48.898 --> 00:01:50.567
Imagination. and you've got to start using this imagination
00:01:50.633 --> 00:01:52.535
Start using this imagination inspired, infused by the truths
00:01:52.602 --> 00:01:56.272
Inspired, infused by the truths of god's word to start seeing
00:01:56.339 --> 00:01:58.575
Of god's word to start seeing what god has told you to come to
00:01:58.641 --> 00:02:00.543
What god has told you to come to pass. yesterday i used abraham
00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:03.012
Pass. yesterday i used abraham where the lord told him to come
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.781
Where the lord told him to come out from the tent, go outside
00:02:04.847 --> 00:02:08.618
Out from the tent, go outside and look up and see the stars
00:02:08.685 --> 00:02:10.753
And look up and see the stars and count the stars. and if he
00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:12.121
And count the stars. and if he could count the stars in the sky
00:02:12.188 --> 00:02:14.624
Could count the stars in the sky or number the grains of sand on
00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:16.826
Or number the grains of sand on the seashore, so shall your seed
00:02:16.893 --> 00:02:19.429
The seashore, so shall your seed be. now, god had promised him
00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:21.731
Be. now, god had promised him that he was going to have
00:02:21.798 --> 00:02:23.066
That he was going to have multitudes of children come
00:02:23.132 --> 00:02:25.435
Multitudes of children come through him, and yet he was an
00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:27.370
Through him, and yet he was an old man. and at the time that
00:02:27.437 --> 00:02:29.172
Old man. and at the time that the lord was speaking to him in
00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:30.440
The lord was speaking to him in exodus 15, he didn't have any
00:02:30.506 --> 00:02:32.141
Exodus 15, he didn't have any children. and god had to get him
00:02:32.208 --> 00:02:35.044
Children. and god had to get him out from that tent because that
00:02:35.111 --> 00:02:36.846
Out from that tent because that tent blocked him seeing the
00:02:36.913 --> 00:02:39.048
Tent blocked him seeing the stars. and each one of us, we've
00:02:39.115 --> 00:02:41.718
Stars. and each one of us, we've got to come out from under all
00:02:41.784 --> 00:02:43.586
Got to come out from under all of the limitations, the ceilings
00:02:43.653 --> 00:02:45.588
Of the limitations, the ceilings that have been placed upon us,
00:02:45.655 --> 00:02:47.557
That have been placed upon us, and we've got to get out to
00:02:47.624 --> 00:02:48.758
And we've got to get out to where the sky is the limit. to
00:02:48.825 --> 00:02:51.227
Where the sky is the limit. to where we are dreaming big. and
00:02:51.294 --> 00:02:53.796
Where we are dreaming big. and that involves your imagination.
00:02:53.863 --> 00:02:56.766
That involves your imagination. and sad to say, most people have
00:02:56.833 --> 00:02:58.334
And sad to say, most people have never done that. i believe one
00:02:58.401 --> 00:03:00.303
Never done that. i believe one of the reasons... there could be
00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:01.671
Of the reasons... there could be more than one, but one of the
00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:03.106
More than one, but one of the reasons that the lord used the
00:03:03.172 --> 00:03:06.242
Reasons that the lord used the stars and the sand on the
00:03:06.309 --> 00:03:08.011
Stars and the sand on the seashore to tell abraham that's
00:03:08.077 --> 00:03:10.246
Seashore to tell abraham that's how numerous his children were
00:03:10.313 --> 00:03:11.714
How numerous his children were going to be, i believe one of
00:03:11.781 --> 00:03:13.483
Going to be, i believe one of the reasons he did that is
00:03:13.549 --> 00:03:14.851
The reasons he did that is because abraham wasn't like us
00:03:14.917 --> 00:03:17.287
Because abraham wasn't like us today that, you know, lived
00:03:17.353 --> 00:03:18.721
Today that, you know, lived inside of a house and spent our
00:03:18.788 --> 00:03:20.723
Inside of a house and spent our evenings inside. they lived in
00:03:20.790 --> 00:03:22.959
Evenings inside. they lived in tents. they were constantly
00:03:23.026 --> 00:03:24.627
Tents. they were constantly seeing the stars every single
00:03:24.694 --> 00:03:26.429
Seeing the stars every single night. they lived in a very arid
00:03:26.496 --> 00:03:28.064
Night. they lived in a very arid climate so there was very few
00:03:28.131 --> 00:03:29.699
Climate so there was very few times that they couldn't see the
00:03:29.766 --> 00:03:31.634
Times that they couldn't see the stars. they didn't have the city
00:03:31.701 --> 00:03:33.603
Stars. they didn't have the city lights that dimmed. man, i mean,
00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:35.972
Lights that dimmed. man, i mean, they could just see millions of
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:37.674
They could just see millions of stars. and he walked every day
00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:40.610
Stars. and he walked every day through the desert. he wore
00:03:40.677 --> 00:03:42.345
Through the desert. he wore sandals. and because of that,
00:03:42.412 --> 00:03:44.280
Sandals. and because of that, his feet had to be cleaned every
00:03:44.347 --> 00:03:46.449
His feet had to be cleaned every single day. so, day and night he
00:03:46.516 --> 00:03:49.786
Single day. so, day and night he had something that was
00:03:49.852 --> 00:03:50.853
Had something that was constantly reminding him that my
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:53.389
Constantly reminding him that my children are going to be as
00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:54.691
Children are going to be as numerous as the sand on the
00:03:54.757 --> 00:03:57.493
Numerous as the sand on the seashore and the stars in the
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.762
Seashore and the stars in the sky. i believe god gave him
00:03:59.829 --> 00:04:01.764
Sky. i believe god gave him something that 24 hours a day
00:04:01.831 --> 00:04:04.567
Something that 24 hours a day was reminding him of the
00:04:04.634 --> 00:04:06.836
Was reminding him of the promises of god. and you know
00:04:06.903 --> 00:04:10.273
Promises of god. and you know based on that, man, i just do
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:11.941
Based on that, man, i just do all kinds of things. i've got
00:04:12.008 --> 00:04:13.309
All kinds of things. i've got pictures of things that god has
00:04:13.376 --> 00:04:15.011
Pictures of things that god has shown me. and i've had
00:04:15.078 --> 00:04:17.213
Shown me. and i've had architects put things together,
00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:18.915
Architects put things together, and i keep these pictures in
00:04:18.981 --> 00:04:20.283
And i keep these pictures in front of me. i've had promises
00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:22.151
Front of me. i've had promises from the word of god that god
00:04:22.218 --> 00:04:23.786
From the word of god that god has given me. and i have things
00:04:23.853 --> 00:04:26.255
Has given me. and i have things that... i just do constantly
00:04:26.322 --> 00:04:28.558
That... i just do constantly that remind me of the vision
00:04:28.624 --> 00:04:31.160
That remind me of the vision that god has given me. if you
00:04:31.227 --> 00:04:33.496
That god has given me. if you can't see it on the inside, you
00:04:33.563 --> 00:04:35.798
Can't see it on the inside, you can't see it on the outside. and
00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:38.301
Can't see it on the outside. and i tell you, this is what a lot
00:04:38.368 --> 00:04:39.635
I tell you, this is what a lot of people are missing. so i used
00:04:39.702 --> 00:04:41.404
Of people are missing. so i used these verses yesterday.
00:04:41.471 --> 00:04:43.306
In hebrews, chapter 11
00:04:43.373 --> 00:04:45.208
In hebrews, chapter 11 verse 13, it says, these all
00:04:45.274 --> 00:04:47.844
Verse 13, it says, these all died in faith, not having
00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:49.879
Died in faith, not having received the promises, but
00:04:49.946 --> 00:04:51.848
Received the promises, but having seen them afar off.
00:04:51.914 --> 00:04:54.617
Abraham and sarah saw
00:04:54.684 --> 00:04:56.853
Abraham and sarah saw them having children as numerous
00:04:56.919 --> 00:04:59.689
Them having children as numerous as the stars in the sky and the
00:04:59.756 --> 00:05:01.991
As the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. did you
00:05:02.058 --> 00:05:03.760
Sand on the seashore. did you know for about 25 or 26 years
00:05:03.826 --> 00:05:05.762
Know for about 25 or 26 years they didn't even have a child.
00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:07.630
They didn't even have a child. finally, they had isaac. but
00:05:07.697 --> 00:05:09.799
Finally, they had isaac. but that was only one child. but
00:05:09.866 --> 00:05:11.801
That was only one child. but they were able to see beyond
00:05:11.868 --> 00:05:13.136
They were able to see beyond that. abraham died when he was
00:05:13.202 --> 00:05:16.005
That. abraham died when he was 175 years old, and at that time
00:05:16.072 --> 00:05:19.809
175 years old, and at that time he had ishmael, which was a
00:05:19.876 --> 00:05:21.811
He had ishmael, which was a child of the flesh. he had
00:05:21.878 --> 00:05:23.413
Child of the flesh. he had isaac, that was the child of
00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:26.482
Isaac, that was the child of promise. but then he had a
00:05:26.549 --> 00:05:28.584
Promise. but then he had a number of other children by
00:05:28.651 --> 00:05:29.919
Number of other children by keturah, another wife that he
00:05:29.986 --> 00:05:32.021
Keturah, another wife that he took after sarah died. but he
00:05:32.088 --> 00:05:34.090
Took after sarah died. but he probably only had six or seven
00:05:34.157 --> 00:05:36.159
Probably only had six or seven children, or something like that
00:05:36.225 --> 00:05:37.927
Children, or something like that in his entire lifetime, and yet
00:05:37.994 --> 00:05:40.296
In his entire lifetime, and yet he saw this vision of having
00:05:40.363 --> 00:05:42.665
He saw this vision of having children as numerous as the
00:05:42.732 --> 00:05:44.267
Children as numerous as the stars in the sky or sand on the
00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:46.169
Stars in the sky or sand on the seashore. did you know today
00:05:46.235 --> 00:05:48.137
Seashore. did you know today that has come to pass. and that
00:05:48.204 --> 00:05:50.173
That has come to pass. and that happened because one man got the
00:05:50.239 --> 00:05:52.775
Happened because one man got the vision. and they have endured
00:05:52.842 --> 00:05:55.111
Vision. and they have endured beyond all kinds of pa...
00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:56.646
Beyond all kinds of pa... persecution and suffering. so it
00:05:56.712 --> 00:05:59.715
Persecution and suffering. so it says that they saw these things
00:05:59.782 --> 00:06:01.350
Says that they saw these things afar off. they were persuaded of
00:06:01.417 --> 00:06:03.920
Afar off. they were persuaded of them. man, i could spend an hour
00:06:03.986 --> 00:06:06.422
Them. man, i could spend an hour or so preaching on every one of
00:06:06.489 --> 00:06:07.723
Or so preaching on every one of these things. i'm just
00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:08.524
These things. i'm just mentioning this quickly, but
00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:09.692
Mentioning this quickly, but you've got to see things in your
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.461
You've got to see things in your heart. abraham saw himself the
00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:14.430
Heart. abraham saw himself the father of multitudes before he
00:06:14.497 --> 00:06:16.699
Father of multitudes before he had any children at all. and he
00:06:16.766 --> 00:06:19.068
Had any children at all. and he was persuaded of that. and then
00:06:19.135 --> 00:06:21.637
Was persuaded of that. and then he embraced that. and then with
00:06:21.704 --> 00:06:24.740
He embraced that. and then with his mouth he began to confess
00:06:24.807 --> 00:06:26.976
His mouth he began to confess it. did you know that when the
00:06:27.043 --> 00:06:28.945
It. did you know that when the lord spoke to me, i've mentioned
00:06:29.011 --> 00:06:30.246
Lord spoke to me, i've mentioned this a number of times on these
00:06:30.313 --> 00:06:32.315
This a number of times on these programs this week. but out of
00:06:32.381 --> 00:06:33.583
Programs this week. but out of psalms, chapter 78, verse 41,
00:06:33.649 --> 00:06:35.718
Psalms, chapter 78, verse 41, when he told me i was limiting
00:06:35.785 --> 00:06:37.253
When he told me i was limiting him by my small thinking, i had
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:40.556
Him by my small thinking, i had to start changing the image that
00:06:40.623 --> 00:06:42.258
To start changing the image that was on the inside. i had to
00:06:42.325 --> 00:06:44.093
Was on the inside. i had to start seeing the things that i
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:45.795
Start seeing the things that i had heard god tell me, i had to
00:06:45.862 --> 00:06:47.497
Had heard god tell me, i had to start seeing them coming to
00:06:47.563 --> 00:06:49.065
Start seeing them coming to pass. and one of the most
00:06:49.131 --> 00:06:51.033
Pass. and one of the most important things involved in
00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.902
Important things involved in this whole process was i had to
00:06:52.969 --> 00:06:55.438
This whole process was i had to start speaking this vision to
00:06:55.505 --> 00:06:58.140
Start speaking this vision to other people. you know i had
00:06:58.207 --> 00:07:01.377
Other people. you know i had gotten to a place where for
00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:02.478
Gotten to a place where for years, for decades i knew that
00:07:02.545 --> 00:07:04.814
Years, for decades i knew that god wanted me to have a
00:07:04.881 --> 00:07:05.915
God wanted me to have a worldwide ministry and reach
00:07:05.982 --> 00:07:07.917
Worldwide ministry and reach people all over the world. but i
00:07:07.984 --> 00:07:09.785
People all over the world. but i mean people were staying away
00:07:09.852 --> 00:07:11.053
Mean people were staying away from the three little churches
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.522
From the three little churches that i pastored, people stayed
00:07:12.588 --> 00:07:14.257
That i pastored, people stayed away from them by the thousands.
00:07:14.323 --> 00:07:16.626
Away from them by the thousands. i was reaching just very few
00:07:16.692 --> 00:07:18.160
I was reaching just very few people on radio, and i... i had
00:07:18.227 --> 00:07:21.731
People on radio, and i... i had quit speaking my vision because
00:07:21.797 --> 00:07:23.699
Quit speaking my vision because it's like every time i spoke it,
00:07:23.766 --> 00:07:25.167
It's like every time i spoke it, people would just roll their
00:07:25.234 --> 00:07:26.435
People would just roll their eyes or look at me like, man,
00:07:26.502 --> 00:07:28.004
Eyes or look at me like, man, you are crazy. you... you know i
00:07:28.070 --> 00:07:31.173
You are crazy. you... you know i even had one pastor friend come
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.009
Even had one pastor friend come to me and he... he mentioned
00:07:33.075 --> 00:07:34.510
To me and he... he mentioned this that when i started
00:07:34.577 --> 00:07:35.578
This that when i started speaking out my vision, he says
00:07:35.645 --> 00:07:37.813
Speaking out my vision, he says nobody's coming to your meetings
00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:39.248
Nobody's coming to your meetings now, how is it that you're going
00:07:39.315 --> 00:07:40.650
Now, how is it that you're going to reach people all over the
00:07:40.716 --> 00:07:41.984
To reach people all over the world? if every time you reach
00:07:42.051 --> 00:07:44.687
World? if every time you reach down to pet a dog it bites you,
00:07:44.754 --> 00:07:46.422
Down to pet a dog it bites you, you're going to quit petting
00:07:46.489 --> 00:07:47.456
You're going to quit petting that dog. if every time you
00:07:47.523 --> 00:07:49.325
That dog. if every time you speak forth your vision,
00:07:49.392 --> 00:07:51.060
Speak forth your vision, somebody criticizes it or, you
00:07:51.127 --> 00:07:54.030
Somebody criticizes it or, you know, just somehow or another
00:07:54.096 --> 00:07:55.565
Know, just somehow or another diminishes what you're feeling
00:07:55.631 --> 00:07:57.633
Diminishes what you're feeling in your heart, after a while,
00:07:57.700 --> 00:07:58.634
In your heart, after a while, you quit saying those things. so
00:07:58.701 --> 00:08:00.403
You quit saying those things. so i had gotten to where i was not
00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:02.438
I had gotten to where i was not telling people the full extent
00:08:02.505 --> 00:08:04.574
Telling people the full extent of my vision because of their
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:07.577
Of my vision because of their negative reaction. and when the
00:08:07.643 --> 00:08:09.545
Negative reaction. and when the lord told me i was limiting him
00:08:09.612 --> 00:08:11.080
Lord told me i was limiting him by my small thinking, i had to
00:08:11.147 --> 00:08:12.448
By my small thinking, i had to start changing the way i saw
00:08:12.515 --> 00:08:14.083
Start changing the way i saw things on the inside. but just
00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:15.851
Things on the inside. but just like this says, they not only
00:08:15.918 --> 00:08:17.320
Like this says, they not only saw them, they were persuaded of
00:08:17.386 --> 00:08:19.689
Saw them, they were persuaded of them, they embraced them, but
00:08:19.755 --> 00:08:21.090
Then they began to start
00:08:21.157 --> 00:08:22.391
Then they began to start confessing that they were
00:08:22.458 --> 00:08:24.160
Confessing that they were strangers and pilgrims. they
00:08:24.226 --> 00:08:25.328
Strangers and pilgrims. they started speaking forth their
00:08:25.394 --> 00:08:27.129
Started speaking forth their vision. and if you are really
00:08:27.196 --> 00:08:29.799
Going to use your imagination,
00:08:29.865 --> 00:08:31.567
Going to use your imagination, it can't be just something that
00:08:31.634 --> 00:08:33.336
It can't be just something that you do in your private time, in
00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:36.172
You do in your private time, in your prayer closet, but that you
00:08:36.238 --> 00:08:37.807
Your prayer closet, but that you never tell anybody else. part of
00:08:37.873 --> 00:08:40.309
Never tell anybody else. part of you using your imagination to
00:08:40.376 --> 00:08:43.446
You using your imagination to see things coming to pass that
00:08:43.512 --> 00:08:45.581
See things coming to pass that god has promised is you've got
00:08:45.648 --> 00:08:46.949
God has promised is you've got to start speaking it. you've
00:08:47.016 --> 00:08:48.751
To start speaking it. you've got to speak your vision.
00:08:48.818 --> 00:08:50.853
Got to speak your vision. faith is voice activated.
00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:53.756
In genesis, chapter 1,
00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:55.057
In genesis, chapter 1, when god created the
00:08:55.124 --> 00:08:56.058
When god created the heavens and the earth, he
00:08:56.125 --> 00:08:57.059
Heavens and the earth, he spoke the worlds into existence.
00:08:57.126 --> 00:08:59.328
Spoke the worlds into existence. he says, let us make man in our
00:08:59.395 --> 00:09:02.198
He says, let us make man in our image. let there be light. let
00:09:02.264 --> 00:09:04.066
Image. let there be light. let the dry land appear. he had to
00:09:04.133 --> 00:09:06.268
Speak his faith. faith is
00:09:06.335 --> 00:09:08.604
Speak his faith. faith is powerless until it's acted on,
00:09:08.671 --> 00:09:10.840
Powerless until it's acted on, until you speak it. so if you've
00:09:10.906 --> 00:09:13.476
Until you speak it. so if you've been receiving the things i'm
00:09:13.542 --> 00:09:14.744
Been receiving the things i'm talking about and recognize that
00:09:14.810 --> 00:09:16.345
Talking about and recognize that one of the ways that you keep
00:09:16.412 --> 00:09:18.214
One of the ways that you keep the power of god flowing in your
00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:20.249
The power of god flowing in your life, is you've got to use your
00:09:20.316 --> 00:09:22.385
Life, is you've got to use your imagination to see the promises
00:09:22.451 --> 00:09:25.021
Imagination to see the promises of god coming to pass in your
00:09:25.087 --> 00:09:26.522
Of god coming to pass in your life, you're going to have to
00:09:26.589 --> 00:09:27.790
Life, you're going to have to also speak it. you know i
00:09:27.857 --> 00:09:30.292
Also speak it. you know i remember when we had the covid,
00:09:30.359 --> 00:09:31.894
You know, pandemic and all of
00:09:32.995 --> 00:09:35.197
You know, pandemic and all of these things happened, i got up
00:09:35.264 --> 00:09:36.632
These things happened, i got up in front of my staff, and at
00:09:36.699 --> 00:09:38.634
In front of my staff, and at that time we had about 800 and
00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:40.536
That time we had about 800 and something, close to 900 staff
00:09:40.603 --> 00:09:42.471
Something, close to 900 staff local here in the u.s. we have
00:09:42.538 --> 00:09:44.907
Local here in the u.s. we have another 300 and something that
00:09:44.974 --> 00:09:46.509
Another 300 and something that are outside of the u.s. but i
00:09:46.575 --> 00:09:49.912
Are outside of the u.s. but i got in front of my staff, and i
00:09:49.979 --> 00:09:52.448
Got in front of my staff, and i began to start speaking what the
00:09:52.515 --> 00:09:54.684
Began to start speaking what the lord said in his word about
00:09:54.750 --> 00:09:56.585
Lord said in his word about that we would be protected,
00:09:56.652 --> 00:09:58.421
That he would give his
00:09:58.487 --> 00:09:59.689
That he would give his angels charge over us,
00:09:59.755 --> 00:10:01.590
Angels charge over us, that no plague would
00:10:01.657 --> 00:10:02.692
That no plague would come nigh our dwelling. and i
00:10:02.758 --> 00:10:04.427
Got my staff together, and i
00:10:04.493 --> 00:10:05.861
Got my staff together, and i started speaking those things.
00:10:05.928 --> 00:10:08.831
Started speaking those things. and did you know there's a lot
00:10:08.898 --> 00:10:09.965
And did you know there's a lot of people that came up. and they
00:10:10.032 --> 00:10:12.368
Of people that came up. and they didn't necessarily disagree with
00:10:12.435 --> 00:10:14.003
Didn't necessarily disagree with what i was saying because i
00:10:14.070 --> 00:10:14.904
What i was saying because i based it all on scripture. i
00:10:14.970 --> 00:10:16.405
Based it all on scripture. i quoted scripture for every
00:10:16.472 --> 00:10:18.340
Quoted scripture for every single thing i was saying. but
00:10:18.407 --> 00:10:20.476
Single thing i was saying. but there was people that it was
00:10:20.543 --> 00:10:21.510
There was people that it was obvious they wouldn't have said
00:10:21.577 --> 00:10:23.045
Obvious they wouldn't have said that. and did you know, if you
00:10:23.112 --> 00:10:25.781
That. and did you know, if you don't believe something, if it's
00:10:25.848 --> 00:10:27.283
Don't believe something, if it's not strong enough on the inside
00:10:27.349 --> 00:10:29.118
Not strong enough on the inside of you to say it, if you can
00:10:29.185 --> 00:10:31.153
Of you to say it, if you can just believe it but you, when
00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:32.588
Just believe it but you, when it... you get in front of people
00:10:32.655 --> 00:10:34.323
It... you get in front of people who may not share your vision
00:10:34.390 --> 00:10:36.325
Who may not share your vision and you're afraid to speak it,
00:10:36.392 --> 00:10:38.127
And you're afraid to speak it, well then you haven't fully
00:10:38.194 --> 00:10:39.829
Well then you haven't fully embraced that thing. when you
00:10:39.895 --> 00:10:42.465
Embraced that thing. when you really believe something with
00:10:42.531 --> 00:10:43.899
Really believe something with all of your heart, you will
00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:45.367
All of your heart, you will speak it out your mouth. now
00:10:45.434 --> 00:10:47.603
Speak it out your mouth. now there is a truth about we don't
00:10:47.670 --> 00:10:49.171
There is a truth about we don't throw our pearls before the
00:10:49.238 --> 00:10:50.573
Throw our pearls before the swine. jesus said that, and i'm
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.508
Swine. jesus said that, and i'm not saying that you just go in
00:10:52.575 --> 00:10:54.477
Not saying that you just go in and blab your vision to anybody
00:10:54.543 --> 00:10:56.278
And blab your vision to anybody and to everybody. but if you are
00:10:56.345 --> 00:10:58.447
And to everybody. but if you are truly embracing a vision, if you
00:10:58.514 --> 00:11:00.683
Truly embracing a vision, if you are using your imagination to
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:02.384
Are using your imagination to see what god has promised you
00:11:02.451 --> 00:11:04.954
See what god has promised you come to pass, you're ultimately
00:11:05.020 --> 00:11:07.256
Come to pass, you're ultimately going to have to start speaking
00:11:07.323 --> 00:11:08.824
Going to have to start speaking it. you're going to have to
00:11:08.891 --> 00:11:10.259
It. you're going to have to speak and face the criticism,
00:11:10.326 --> 00:11:13.129
Speak and face the criticism, the rejection, the ridicule that
00:11:13.195 --> 00:11:15.164
The rejection, the ridicule that may come your way. and if you
00:11:15.231 --> 00:11:17.066
May come your way. and if you aren't willing to do that, well
00:11:17.133 --> 00:11:18.701
Aren't willing to do that, well then you haven't believed it
00:11:18.768 --> 00:11:19.869
Then you haven't believed it with all of your heart. when you
00:11:19.935 --> 00:11:23.773
With all of your heart. when you really believe something with
00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:25.040
Really believe something with all of your heart, i guarantee
00:11:25.107 --> 00:11:26.308
All of your heart, i guarantee you there will be action.
00:11:26.375 --> 00:11:29.078
If you don't have action,
00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:30.246
If you don't have action, faith without works is
00:11:30.312 --> 00:11:31.714
Faith without works is dead, and one of the first
00:11:31.781 --> 00:11:33.149
Actions that you do is you
00:11:33.215 --> 00:11:34.550
Actions that you do is you have to start speaking that
00:11:34.617 --> 00:11:36.719
Have to start speaking that vision out of your mouth.
00:11:36.786 --> 00:11:37.953
So this says that they saw it.
00:11:38.020 --> 00:11:39.889
So this says that they saw it. that's involving their
00:11:39.955 --> 00:11:41.023
That's involving their imagination because they
00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:42.258
Imagination because they couldn't see it with their
00:11:42.324 --> 00:11:43.025
Couldn't see it with their physical eyes, but they saw it
00:11:43.092 --> 00:11:44.460
Physical eyes, but they saw it in their heart. they saw the
00:11:44.527 --> 00:11:46.428
In their heart. they saw the promises of god afar off. they
00:11:46.495 --> 00:11:48.864
Promises of god afar off. they were persuaded of them. and the
00:11:48.931 --> 00:11:51.066
Were persuaded of them. and the scripture says you have to
00:11:51.133 --> 00:11:52.234
Scripture says you have to assure your own heart out of 1
00:11:52.301 --> 00:11:54.403
Assure your own heart out of 1 john, chapter 3. if
00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:56.172
You will let it, your heart
00:11:56.238 --> 00:11:57.640
You will let it, your heart will just naturally tend
00:11:57.706 --> 00:11:59.308
Will just naturally tend towards doubt and unbelief,
00:11:59.375 --> 00:12:00.810
Towards doubt and unbelief, because we've all been raised in
00:12:00.876 --> 00:12:02.411
Because we've all been raised in that. we've been baptized in
00:12:02.478 --> 00:12:04.146
That. we've been baptized in unbelief. so you have to
00:12:04.213 --> 00:12:05.648
Unbelief. so you have to persuade yourself of them. you
00:12:05.714 --> 00:12:08.584
Persuade yourself of them. you have to embrace it. that means
00:12:08.651 --> 00:12:10.119
Have to embrace it. that means you have to get to a place to
00:12:10.186 --> 00:12:11.253
You have to get to a place to where your emotions are
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.454
Where your emotions are involved, and you are actually
00:12:12.521 --> 00:12:13.889
Involved, and you are actually rejoicing in the things of god
00:12:13.956 --> 00:12:17.259
Rejoicing in the things of god before you can see it come to
00:12:17.326 --> 00:12:18.928
Before you can see it come to pass. you know when we started
00:12:18.994 --> 00:12:22.298
Pass. you know when we started building these buildings, i
00:12:22.364 --> 00:12:25.201
Building these buildings, i don't know how to describe this,
00:12:25.267 --> 00:12:26.535
Don't know how to describe this, but i sit down and pray and i
00:12:26.602 --> 00:12:29.705
But i sit down and pray and i see what the need is first of
00:12:29.772 --> 00:12:31.507
See what the need is first of all, and then, all right god,
00:12:31.574 --> 00:12:33.242
All, and then, all right god, what building do we have to have
00:12:33.309 --> 00:12:34.877
What building do we have to have to accommodate more students, to
00:12:34.944 --> 00:12:36.645
To accommodate more students, to accommodate students having
00:12:36.712 --> 00:12:38.581
Accommodate students having housing on our property and
00:12:38.647 --> 00:12:40.783
Housing on our property and things. and so i see what the
00:12:40.850 --> 00:12:42.251
Things. and so i see what the need is and then i start praying
00:12:42.318 --> 00:12:44.086
Need is and then i start praying and let god inspire my
00:12:44.153 --> 00:12:46.322
And let god inspire my imagination of what it's going
00:12:46.388 --> 00:12:49.124
Imagination of what it's going to be like. and i do that
00:12:49.191 --> 00:12:51.660
To be like. and i do that until... i don't know how to
00:12:51.727 --> 00:12:53.963
Until... i don't know how to describe this better, but it's
00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:55.364
Describe this better, but it's like all of a sudden, it's i'm
00:12:55.431 --> 00:12:56.932
Like all of a sudden, it's i'm seeing something, but it's
00:12:56.999 --> 00:12:58.234
Seeing something, but it's fuzzy. and all of a sudden as i
00:12:58.300 --> 00:13:00.302
Fuzzy. and all of a sudden as i continue to pray about it and
00:13:00.369 --> 00:13:02.504
Continue to pray about it and meditate on it, all of a sudden
00:13:02.571 --> 00:13:03.906
Meditate on it, all of a sudden it's just like, boom, it comes
00:13:03.973 --> 00:13:05.541
It's just like, boom, it comes into focus. all of a sudden,
00:13:05.608 --> 00:13:07.376
Into focus. all of a sudden, yes, that's it. i see it. and i
00:13:07.443 --> 00:13:09.979
Yes, that's it. i see it. and i actually get to a place to where
00:13:10.045 --> 00:13:11.413
Actually get to a place to where i rejoice. and i don't know how
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.984
I rejoice. and i don't know how to describe this any better than
00:13:15.050 --> 00:13:16.485
To describe this any better than this, but most people they
00:13:16.552 --> 00:13:18.220
This, but most people they rejoice when they see the
00:13:18.287 --> 00:13:19.922
Rejoice when they see the physical thing happen. but to
00:13:19.989 --> 00:13:23.359
Physical thing happen. but to me, my rejoi... i am actually
00:13:23.425 --> 00:13:25.527
Me, my rejoi... i am actually more excited when i can see
00:13:25.594 --> 00:13:28.397
More excited when i can see something in my heart and it
00:13:28.464 --> 00:13:29.765
Something in my heart and it comes into focus, and man,
00:13:29.832 --> 00:13:31.533
Comes into focus, and man, that's it. i've got it. at that
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.903
That's it. i've got it. at that moment, that's when you conceive
00:13:33.969 --> 00:13:36.605
Moment, that's when you conceive something. that's the conception
00:13:36.672 --> 00:13:38.774
Something. that's the conception process. and to me, conception
00:13:38.841 --> 00:13:42.311
Process. and to me, conception is more fun than the delivery
00:13:42.378 --> 00:13:44.313
Is more fun than the delivery process, amen? and i, when i can
00:13:44.380 --> 00:13:47.683
Process, amen? and i, when i can see something in my heart and
00:13:47.750 --> 00:13:49.184
See something in my heart and all of a sudden it comes into
00:13:49.251 --> 00:13:50.286
All of a sudden it comes into focus, there is a joy, a
00:13:50.352 --> 00:13:52.321
Focus, there is a joy, a rejoicing just like this says
00:13:52.388 --> 00:13:54.056
Rejoicing just like this says that there is an embracing of
00:13:54.123 --> 00:13:56.759
That there is an embracing of this vision, and then i begin to
00:13:56.825 --> 00:13:59.528
This vision, and then i begin to start speaking it. and when i
00:13:59.595 --> 00:14:01.497
Start speaking it. and when i actually see the physical
00:14:01.563 --> 00:14:03.265
Actually see the physical things come to pass that i've
00:14:03.332 --> 00:14:05.834
Things come to pass that i've been seeing in my heart,
00:14:05.901 --> 00:14:07.036
Been seeing in my heart, that's anticlimatic. actually,
00:14:07.102 --> 00:14:09.171
We've had a number of building
00:14:09.805 --> 00:14:11.273
Dedications. and like i've said
00:14:11.273 --> 00:14:13.442
On a previous program, we now
00:14:13.442 --> 00:14:14.810
Have about $160 or 70 million
00:14:14.810 --> 00:14:17.980
Worth of buildings and property,
00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:20.449
All debt free. and we've seen
00:14:20.449 --> 00:14:22.718
God provide some miraculous
00:14:22.785 --> 00:14:24.920
God provide some miraculous things. but when we dedicate
00:14:24.987 --> 00:14:27.022
Things. but when we dedicate those buildings and everybody
00:14:27.089 --> 00:14:28.357
Those buildings and everybody else can see it and they get
00:14:28.424 --> 00:14:29.525
Else can see it and they get excited, did you know what? i'm
00:14:29.591 --> 00:14:32.027
Excited, did you know what? i'm not as excited about when i see
00:14:32.094 --> 00:14:35.197
Not as excited about when i see it completed as i am when i see
00:14:35.264 --> 00:14:37.833
It completed as i am when i see it conceived. and again, i don't
00:14:37.900 --> 00:14:41.337
It conceived. and again, i don't know how to describe that to
00:14:41.403 --> 00:14:42.671
Know how to describe that to people, but that is absolutely
00:14:42.738 --> 00:14:44.173
People, but that is absolutely true. i can tell you that
00:14:44.239 --> 00:14:45.341
True. i can tell you that there's times that i've walked
00:14:45.407 --> 00:14:47.242
There's times that i've walked over this property, i've walked
00:14:47.309 --> 00:14:48.877
Over this property, i've walked through things, and i have just
00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:50.779
Through things, and i have just been rejoicing, and yet there's
00:14:50.846 --> 00:14:53.182
Been rejoicing, and yet there's nothing that you could
00:14:53.248 --> 00:14:54.717
Nothing that you could see with your eyes. but
00:14:54.783 --> 00:14:55.851
See with your eyes. but i could see it in my heart.
00:14:55.918 --> 00:14:57.052
I had some plans drawn and i had
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.889
My yellow jeep out on the spot
00:15:00.889 --> 00:15:03.559
Where now our... our charis
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.728
Bible college auditorium is. and
00:15:05.728 --> 00:15:08.197
I had those plans spread out and
00:15:08.263 --> 00:15:09.965
I had those plans spread out and i was pointing and telling
00:15:10.032 --> 00:15:11.300
I was pointing and telling people, here's where this is
00:15:11.367 --> 00:15:12.968
People, here's where this is going and here's where this is
00:15:13.035 --> 00:15:14.236
Going and here's where this is going, and this building is
00:15:14.303 --> 00:15:15.204
Going, and this building is going to be like this. and some
00:15:15.270 --> 00:15:17.139
Going to be like this. and some people they were looking at me
00:15:17.206 --> 00:15:18.474
People they were looking at me like, there isn't anything here,
00:15:18.540 --> 00:15:20.709
Like, there isn't anything here, and yet i could see it. i could
00:15:20.776 --> 00:15:24.580
And yet i could see it. i could see it. and so, this is exactly
00:15:24.646 --> 00:15:27.383
See it. and so, this is exactly what this says. they... they
00:15:27.449 --> 00:15:28.784
What this says. they... they were persuaded of these things.
00:15:28.851 --> 00:15:30.352
They saw them afar off, were
00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:32.554
They saw them afar off, were persuaded of them, they embraced
00:15:32.621 --> 00:15:34.757
Persuaded of them, they embraced them, and confessed that they
00:15:34.823 --> 00:15:36.592
Them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on
00:15:36.658 --> 00:15:38.794
Were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. for they that say
00:15:38.861 --> 00:15:40.396
The earth. for they that say such things declare plainly that
00:15:40.462 --> 00:15:42.398
Such things declare plainly that they seek a country. and look at
00:15:42.464 --> 00:15:44.600
This in verse 15. this is one of
00:15:44.666 --> 00:15:46.835
This in verse 15. this is one of the most important things
00:15:46.902 --> 00:15:49.171
The most important things that i have ever learned
00:15:49.238 --> 00:15:51.073
That i have ever learned from the word of god.
00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:52.608
In verse 15, it says, and
00:15:52.674 --> 00:15:54.209
In verse 15, it says, and truly, if they had been
00:15:54.276 --> 00:15:56.111
Truly, if they had been mindful of that country
00:15:56.178 --> 00:15:57.780
Mindful of that country from which they came
00:15:57.846 --> 00:15:58.881
From which they came out, they might have had
00:15:58.947 --> 00:16:01.116
Out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
00:16:01.183 --> 00:16:03.519
Most people will read that
00:16:05.654 --> 00:16:06.688
Most people will read that and think, well what's so
00:16:06.755 --> 00:16:07.456
And think, well what's so special about that verse? this
00:16:07.523 --> 00:16:09.258
Special about that verse? this is saying that you can't be
00:16:09.324 --> 00:16:11.427
Is saying that you can't be tempted with what you don't
00:16:11.493 --> 00:16:13.429
Tempted with what you don't think. did you know what, if you
00:16:13.495 --> 00:16:16.465
Think. did you know what, if you would control your thinking and
00:16:16.532 --> 00:16:18.667
Would control your thinking and get to where you use your
00:16:18.734 --> 00:16:19.902
Get to where you use your thinking and your imagination
00:16:19.968 --> 00:16:22.004
Thinking and your imagination only to see the promises of
00:16:22.071 --> 00:16:24.973
Only to see the promises of god's word coming to pass in
00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:26.642
God's word coming to pass in your life, if that's all you
00:16:26.708 --> 00:16:28.077
Your life, if that's all you thought, that's all you could
00:16:28.143 --> 00:16:30.145
Thought, that's all you could get. you can't fail without
00:16:30.212 --> 00:16:32.815
Get. you can't fail without first of all failing in your
00:16:32.881 --> 00:16:35.117
First of all failing in your thinking. that's a radical
00:16:35.184 --> 00:16:37.786
Thinking. that's a radical statement, but it's absolutely
00:16:37.853 --> 00:16:39.721
Statement, but it's absolutely true. did you know satan cannot
00:16:39.788 --> 00:16:42.724
True. did you know satan cannot conceive unbelief in you without
00:16:42.791 --> 00:16:46.595
Conceive unbelief in you without going through your thinking? you
00:16:46.662 --> 00:16:48.197
Going through your thinking? you have to start thinking on
00:16:48.263 --> 00:16:49.832
Have to start thinking on negative things. it's similar to
00:16:49.898 --> 00:16:51.834
Negative things. it's similar to like if you were in a mine or if
00:16:51.900 --> 00:16:53.535
Like if you were in a mine or if you were in a tunnel or
00:16:53.602 --> 00:16:54.670
You were in a tunnel or something, you just can't walk
00:16:54.736 --> 00:16:56.438
Something, you just can't walk through dirt and rock. you have
00:16:56.505 --> 00:16:58.740
Through dirt and rock. you have to dig a place out. you have to
00:16:58.807 --> 00:17:00.476
To dig a place out. you have to vacate that material that's in
00:17:00.542 --> 00:17:03.645
Vacate that material that's in there before you can step into
00:17:03.712 --> 00:17:05.180
There before you can step into that spot. you can't go anywhere
00:17:05.247 --> 00:17:07.850
That spot. you can't go anywhere in your physical body that you
00:17:07.916 --> 00:17:10.586
In your physical body that you haven't already been in your
00:17:10.652 --> 00:17:12.521
Haven't already been in your mind. and so there are some
00:17:12.588 --> 00:17:14.723
Mind. and so there are some people watching this that you're
00:17:14.790 --> 00:17:16.024
People watching this that you're praying for healing, but you've
00:17:16.091 --> 00:17:17.659
Praying for healing, but you've never been there in your mind.
00:17:17.726 --> 00:17:18.961
Never been there in your mind. you may desire it, you may be
00:17:19.027 --> 00:17:20.996
You may desire it, you may be asking for it, but you've never
00:17:21.063 --> 00:17:22.931
Asking for it, but you've never seen yourself well. there are
00:17:22.998 --> 00:17:24.766
Seen yourself well. there are some of you praying for
00:17:24.833 --> 00:17:25.868
Some of you praying for prosperity, and yet you see
00:17:25.934 --> 00:17:27.836
Prosperity, and yet you see yourself poor. you talk poor.
00:17:27.903 --> 00:17:30.439
Yourself poor. you talk poor. you think poor. you act poor. we
00:17:30.506 --> 00:17:33.976
You think poor. you act poor. we actually had a woman in our
00:17:34.042 --> 00:17:35.110
Actually had a woman in our school who was raised during the
00:17:35.177 --> 00:17:37.379
School who was raised during the depression. this is like 20
00:17:37.446 --> 00:17:39.348
Depression. this is like 20 something years ago and she was
00:17:39.414 --> 00:17:40.916
Something years ago and she was old at that time, so she lived
00:17:40.983 --> 00:17:42.818
Old at that time, so she lived through the depression. and
00:17:42.885 --> 00:17:44.386
Through the depression. and because of the negative things
00:17:44.453 --> 00:17:46.388
Because of the negative things that they went through, this
00:17:46.455 --> 00:17:47.689
That they went through, this woman was now very well off.
00:17:47.756 --> 00:17:50.058
Woman was now very well off. she... she had all the money
00:17:50.125 --> 00:17:51.727
She... she had all the money that she needed. there was no
00:17:51.793 --> 00:17:52.895
That she needed. there was no financial needs in her life, and
00:17:52.961 --> 00:17:54.463
Financial needs in her life, and yet she still had a poverty
00:17:54.530 --> 00:17:57.065
Yet she still had a poverty mentality. and this woman would
00:17:57.132 --> 00:17:59.268
Mentality. and this woman would drive all the way across town,
00:17:59.334 --> 00:18:01.870
Drive all the way across town, spend probably $5 worth extra
00:18:01.937 --> 00:18:06.441
Spend probably $5 worth extra money on gas to save triple
00:18:06.508 --> 00:18:09.178
Money on gas to save triple coupons and maybe save a dollar.
00:18:09.244 --> 00:18:11.713
Coupons and maybe save a dollar. she just had this mindset that
00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:13.649
She just had this mindset that she would save money. she would
00:18:13.715 --> 00:18:14.783
She would save money. she would take... jelly jars and once it
00:18:14.850 --> 00:18:18.053
Take... jelly jars and once it got down to the bottom, she'd
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:19.288
Got down to the bottom, she'd put water in it to dilute it and
00:18:19.354 --> 00:18:21.390
Put water in it to dilute it and get everything out of there. she
00:18:21.456 --> 00:18:23.792
Get everything out of there. she would save her... her soap bars.
00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:26.762
Would save her... her soap bars. and when they got down to where,
00:18:26.828 --> 00:18:28.297
And when they got down to where, you know, it wasn't a big enough
00:18:28.363 --> 00:18:30.232
You know, it wasn't a big enough bar to really, you know, use
00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:32.801
Bar to really, you know, use to... to lather up, she would
00:18:32.868 --> 00:18:35.003
To... to lather up, she would save those bars and wait until
00:18:35.070 --> 00:18:37.072
Save those bars and wait until she got enough, and then she
00:18:37.139 --> 00:18:38.273
She got enough, and then she would melt them and make a new
00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:39.875
Would melt them and make a new bar out of it so that she got
00:18:39.942 --> 00:18:41.543
Bar out of it so that she got every little piece of that soap.
00:18:41.610 --> 00:18:44.479
Every little piece of that soap. now again, i'm not saying that
00:18:44.546 --> 00:18:45.747
Now again, i'm not saying that there's anything wrong with
00:18:45.814 --> 00:18:47.216
There's anything wrong with being just a good steward and
00:18:47.282 --> 00:18:48.650
Being just a good steward and being frugal. but to have a
00:18:48.717 --> 00:18:50.285
Being frugal. but to have a poverty mindset, she still
00:18:50.352 --> 00:18:52.554
Poverty mindset, she still thought like she was fearful
00:18:52.621 --> 00:18:54.556
Thought like she was fearful that somehow or another, another
00:18:54.623 --> 00:18:55.824
That somehow or another, another depression was going to happen
00:18:55.891 --> 00:18:57.125
Depression was going to happen and that they were going to lose
00:18:57.192 --> 00:18:58.227
And that they were going to lose everything. and she would do
00:18:58.293 --> 00:18:59.928
Everything. and she would do things that were irrational,
00:18:59.995 --> 00:19:01.697
Things that were irrational, like spend $5 to drive across
00:19:01.763 --> 00:19:04.266
Like spend $5 to drive across town to save 30 cents on a
00:19:04.333 --> 00:19:06.368
Town to save 30 cents on a coupon. that's irrational. it's
00:19:06.435 --> 00:19:09.171
Coupon. that's irrational. it's a mindset. it's... it's the
00:19:09.238 --> 00:19:11.240
A mindset. it's... it's the imagination. they see themself
00:19:11.306 --> 00:19:13.208
Imagination. they see themself poor. they see themself they're
00:19:13.275 --> 00:19:14.676
Poor. they see themself they're fearful. you've got to change
00:19:14.743 --> 00:19:17.045
Fearful. you've got to change that mindset. there's people
00:19:17.112 --> 00:19:18.213
That mindset. there's people praying for prosperity but
00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:19.615
Praying for prosperity but you've got a poverty mindset. i
00:19:19.681 --> 00:19:22.251
You've got a poverty mindset. i remember one time i had my media
00:19:22.317 --> 00:19:24.620
Remember one time i had my media buyer who was very well off. he
00:19:24.686 --> 00:19:27.289
Buyer who was very well off. he took me out to go golfing and he
00:19:27.356 --> 00:19:29.224
Took me out to go golfing and he took me to a very, very fancy
00:19:29.291 --> 00:19:31.893
Took me to a very, very fancy golf course. i didn't normally
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:33.695
Play on those kind of courses.
00:19:35.097 --> 00:19:36.898
Play on those kind of courses. but you had to have a caddie.
00:19:36.965 --> 00:19:39.101
But you had to have a caddie. they wouldn't let you go without
00:19:39.167 --> 00:19:40.469
They wouldn't let you go without a caddie. and then at the end,
00:19:40.535 --> 00:19:42.471
A caddie. and then at the end, the caddie was cleaning our
00:19:42.537 --> 00:19:43.839
The caddie was cleaning our clubs, and i knew he was wanting
00:19:43.905 --> 00:19:45.507
Clubs, and i knew he was wanting a tip. and so i looked in my
00:19:45.574 --> 00:19:47.509
A tip. and so i looked in my wallet and all i had was a $20
00:19:47.576 --> 00:19:49.511
Wallet and all i had was a $20 bill so i was going to tip him
00:19:49.578 --> 00:19:50.779
Bill so i was going to tip him like five bucks. so i walked
00:19:50.846 --> 00:19:52.848
Like five bucks. so i walked over to doug and i said, doug,
00:19:52.914 --> 00:19:54.349
Over to doug and i said, doug, do you have change for a 20? and
00:19:54.416 --> 00:19:57.085
Do you have change for a 20? and he didn't say anything, but he
00:19:57.152 --> 00:19:59.721
He didn't say anything, but he just looked at me and he says
00:19:59.788 --> 00:20:00.722
Just looked at me and he says i'll take care of it. and he
00:20:00.789 --> 00:20:01.990
I'll take care of it. and he went over to all four of the
00:20:02.057 --> 00:20:03.792
Went over to all four of the caddies and gave them all a $20
00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:06.461
Caddies and gave them all a $20 bill. and it made me feel about
00:20:06.528 --> 00:20:08.363
Bill. and it made me feel about that big. but did you know what,
00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:10.232
That big. but did you know what, i had in the image, i had a
00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:11.667
I had in the image, i had a thought process that i... i
00:20:11.733 --> 00:20:13.268
Thought process that i... i can't do that. and then not too
00:20:13.335 --> 00:20:15.937
Can't do that. and then not too long after that, i had... i was
00:20:16.004 --> 00:20:17.873
Long after that, i had... i was out with a group of pastors and
00:20:17.939 --> 00:20:19.274
Out with a group of pastors and again, we had caddies and they
00:20:19.341 --> 00:20:20.876
Again, we had caddies and they were waiting on a tip, and the
00:20:20.942 --> 00:20:22.577
Were waiting on a tip, and the pastor came to me, do you have
00:20:22.644 --> 00:20:23.945
Pastor came to me, do you have change for 20? and i said, i'll
00:20:24.012 --> 00:20:25.547
Change for 20? and i said, i'll take care of it, and i went
00:20:25.614 --> 00:20:26.715
Take care of it, and i went around and gave everybody a 20.
00:20:26.782 --> 00:20:28.750
Around and gave everybody a 20. you know, we just went out to
00:20:28.817 --> 00:20:29.918
You know, we just went out to eat, i think it was three or
00:20:29.985 --> 00:20:34.456
Eat, i think it was three or four days ago, and i wound up
00:20:34.523 --> 00:20:36.692
Four days ago, and i wound up giving a $70 something tip to
00:20:36.758 --> 00:20:39.928
Giving a $70 something tip to people. some people just would
00:20:39.995 --> 00:20:41.263
People. some people just would never do that. and i'm not
00:20:41.330 --> 00:20:42.397
Never do that. and i'm not saying i do that every single
00:20:42.464 --> 00:20:43.665
Saying i do that every single time, but i just blessed the
00:20:43.732 --> 00:20:45.834
Time, but i just blessed the person. we are blessed and i'm
00:20:45.901 --> 00:20:47.402
Person. we are blessed and i'm blessed, and i... you have to
00:20:47.469 --> 00:20:48.603
Blessed, and i... you have to change the way you think. there
00:20:48.670 --> 00:20:50.706
Change the way you think. there are some people that are just
00:20:50.772 --> 00:20:51.940
Are some people that are just cheap, and yet you're trying to
00:20:52.007 --> 00:20:53.875
Cheap, and yet you're trying to believe for prosperity. if you
00:20:53.942 --> 00:20:55.877
Believe for prosperity. if you can't see yourself prosperous on
00:20:55.944 --> 00:20:57.946
Can't see yourself prosperous on the inside, it'll never manifest
00:20:58.013 --> 00:20:59.648
The inside, it'll never manifest itself on the outside. if you
00:20:59.715 --> 00:21:01.383
Itself on the outside. if you can't see yourself well, then
00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:03.352
Can't see yourself well, then you'll never be well on the
00:21:03.418 --> 00:21:05.087
You'll never be well on the outside. if you can't see
00:21:05.153 --> 00:21:06.588
Outside. if you can't see yourself getting along with
00:21:06.655 --> 00:21:08.023
Yourself getting along with people, if you can't see
00:21:08.090 --> 00:21:09.091
People, if you can't see yourself succeeding in your
00:21:09.157 --> 00:21:10.625
Yourself succeeding in your business, you won't. if you
00:21:10.692 --> 00:21:12.694
Business, you won't. if you listen to this negative stuff
00:21:12.761 --> 00:21:14.396
Listen to this negative stuff that the world is putting out
00:21:14.463 --> 00:21:16.098
That the world is putting out about the recession and... and
00:21:16.164 --> 00:21:18.033
About the recession and... and the hard times and all of these
00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:19.534
The hard times and all of these things, and if you start gearing
00:21:19.601 --> 00:21:20.969
Things, and if you start gearing your life and listening to all
00:21:21.036 --> 00:21:22.270
Your life and listening to all of this stuff, it will limit
00:21:22.337 --> 00:21:24.005
Of this stuff, it will limit what god can do in your life. i
00:21:24.072 --> 00:21:27.376
What god can do in your life. i remember back during 2008 and
00:21:27.442 --> 00:21:29.745
Remember back during 2008 and 2009 when the quote unquote,
00:21:29.811 --> 00:21:32.214
2009 when the quote unquote, great recession happened. we
00:21:32.280 --> 00:21:34.783
Great recession happened. we have hundreds of parachurch
00:21:34.850 --> 00:21:36.618
Have hundreds of parachurch ministries in the colorado
00:21:36.685 --> 00:21:38.019
Ministries in the colorado springs area, and i know many of
00:21:38.086 --> 00:21:39.888
Springs area, and i know many of them. and i mean all but one or
00:21:39.955 --> 00:21:41.823
Them. and i mean all but one or two that i'm aware of, they
00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:43.759
Two that i'm aware of, they immediately started decreasing
00:21:43.825 --> 00:21:46.027
Immediately started decreasing their expectations, and they
00:21:46.094 --> 00:21:48.330
Their expectations, and they started making their budgets
00:21:48.397 --> 00:21:49.998
Started making their budgets with a 25% decrease in income
00:21:50.065 --> 00:21:54.469
With a 25% decrease in income because they were plugged into
00:21:54.536 --> 00:21:55.637
Because they were plugged into the world, and that was the
00:21:55.704 --> 00:21:56.772
The world, and that was the image, and they saw themself
00:21:56.838 --> 00:21:58.340
Image, and they saw themself just like everybody else. did
00:21:58.407 --> 00:22:00.375
Just like everybody else. did you know that's the exact
00:22:00.442 --> 00:22:01.410
You know that's the exact time that the lord spoke
00:22:01.476 --> 00:22:02.611
Time that the lord spoke to me about increasing.
00:22:02.677 --> 00:22:05.647
And we bought this property
00:22:06.248 --> 00:22:07.916
Up in woodland park and
00:22:07.916 --> 00:22:09.017
We started spending money... i
00:22:09.017 --> 00:22:12.254
Mean, i had the biggest
00:22:12.254 --> 00:22:14.022
Expansion in the history of this
00:22:14.022 --> 00:22:15.657
Ministry during the great
00:22:15.657 --> 00:22:17.159
Recession just because i refused
00:22:17.159 --> 00:22:19.694
To participate. i had a
00:22:19.761 --> 00:22:21.296
To participate. i had a different image on the inside.
00:22:21.363 --> 00:22:23.432
The bible says god's going to
00:22:23.498 --> 00:22:24.599
The bible says god's going to supply my need according to his
00:22:24.666 --> 00:22:26.334
Supply my need according to his riches in glory by christ jesus,
00:22:26.401 --> 00:22:28.437
Not according to the u.s.
00:22:28.503 --> 00:22:29.805
Not according to the u.s. economy. and because i saw
00:22:29.871 --> 00:22:31.907
Economy. and because i saw things differently, our income
00:22:31.973 --> 00:22:34.009
Things differently, our income went up dramatically at a time
00:22:34.075 --> 00:22:36.111
Went up dramatically at a time that everybody else's income was
00:22:36.178 --> 00:22:37.779
That everybody else's income was going down. the image on the
00:22:37.846 --> 00:22:40.315
Going down. the image on the inside of you is what you will
00:22:40.382 --> 00:22:42.617
Inside of you is what you will eventually see happen on the
00:22:42.684 --> 00:22:44.152
Eventually see happen on the outside if you follow through.

>> god's people are
00:24:25.754 --> 00:24:26.788
Destroyed for a lack of
00:24:26.788 --> 00:24:27.989
Knowledge. if you've got any
00:24:27.989 --> 00:24:29.591
Problem in your life, it's
00:24:29.591 --> 00:24:30.892
Really because you don't

Done. this word is the greatest
00:24:33.862 --> 00:24:35.397
Gift that god has ever given us
00:24:35.397 --> 00:24:37.365

God has called you to do. you
00:24:45.273 --> 00:24:46.841

Recent update today.
00:25:54.676 --> 00:25:56.645
>> if there was a kidney
00:26:00.181 --> 00:26:01.016
Transplant, she couldn't because
00:26:01.016 --> 00:26:03.385
Her heart wasn't strong enough,
00:26:03.385 --> 00:26:04.619
A spoonful of food, she
00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:06.287
Would throw that up. and i
00:26:06.287 --> 00:26:08.089
Was just literally watching
00:26:08.089 --> 00:26:10.425
My wife just wither away.
00:26:10.425 --> 00:26:14.462
>> the doctors are trying to
00:26:14.462 --> 00:26:15.363
Help, but they're failing
00:26:15.363 --> 00:26:16.464
Miserable, and we just didn't
00:26:16.464 --> 00:26:18.667
Know what to do either, and i
00:26:18.667 --> 00:26:20.268
Just decided, i just said, lord,
00:26:20.268 --> 00:26:22.570
In jesus name, i'm going to eat.
00:26:22.570 --> 00:26:23.672
>> now, my wife hasn't had
00:26:23.672 --> 00:26:25.473
Anything really to eat in
00:26:25.473 --> 00:26:27.876
Eight, nine years, but she
00:26:27.876 --> 00:26:30.578
Started consistently eating.
00:26:30.578 --> 00:26:33.214
>> i went back to see
00:26:33.214 --> 00:26:34.349
The doctor three months
00:26:34.349 --> 00:26:35.850
Later, and he was astounded.
00:26:35.850 --> 00:26:39.421
Music
00:26:39.487 --> 00:26:55.770
