Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Pressure in the Blessing (Part 1) | April 8, 2026
- She. if he could provide manna from heaven.
- 00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:05.168
- If he can heart the waters to get to the other side,
- 00:00:05.168 --> 00:00:08.171
- He can provide the things that you need.
- 00:00:08.171 --> 00:00:10.673
- When you listen to his voice and follow him.
- 00:00:10.673 --> 00:00:13.142
- But all of a sudden we see this shift from that
- 00:00:13.142 --> 00:00:16.179
- To also, okay, god will supply what you need,
- 00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:18.347
- But with the needs that god gives you,
- 00:00:18.347 --> 00:00:20.650
- There comes responsibility.
- 00:00:20.650 --> 00:00:22.385
- And so we're on week four, week four.
- 00:00:22.385 --> 00:00:24.987
- Now i believe the impossible.
- 00:00:24.987 --> 00:00:27.056
- And my goal is not just to teach you about believing it
- 00:00:27.056 --> 00:00:30.093
- And seeing it.
- 00:00:30.093 --> 00:00:31.461
- Within scripture, but also to step into it.
- 00:00:31.461 --> 00:00:33.696
- Because really, if you truly believe it,
- 00:00:33.696 --> 00:00:35.898
- You're going to move into it, right?
- 00:00:35.898 --> 00:00:37.934
- You're going to step out by faith,
- 00:00:37.934 --> 00:00:39.335
- And you're going to believe that
- 00:00:39.335 --> 00:00:40.369
- The lord is doing something in your life. and so
- 00:00:40.369 --> 00:00:43.206
- I'm praying that over you.
- 00:00:43.773 --> 00:00:45.108
- And i pray that we see the word of god and how
- 00:00:45.108 --> 00:00:47.643
- Jesus will hold your hand even when you're going
- 00:00:47.643 --> 00:00:49.712
- Through a trial and difficult times.
- 00:00:49.712 --> 00:00:51.881
- And when you feel like you can't make it to the other side.
- 00:00:51.881 --> 00:00:55.051
- And i do also want to say thank you to everybody
- 00:00:55.051 --> 00:00:56.853
- That's watching online today.
- 00:00:56.853 --> 00:00:58.187
- We have people watching from all over the world,
- 00:00:58.187 --> 00:01:00.356
- And i do believe that god has a word for you
- 00:01:00.356 --> 00:01:02.625
- And i believe that god can meet
- 00:01:02.625 --> 00:01:03.726
- You even in your living room today.
- 00:01:03.726 --> 00:01:05.361
- God is going to meet with you, in his presence
- 00:01:05.361 --> 00:01:06.996
- Is going to be seen, and it's going to be felt.
- 00:01:06.996 --> 00:01:09.232
- And if you're new in the house of the lord today,
- 00:01:09.232 --> 00:01:10.733
- I want to say thank you guys for joining us.
- 00:01:10.733 --> 00:01:12.301
- Hope you feel like part of the family
- 00:01:12.301 --> 00:01:13.769
- And just keep coming back.
- 00:01:13.769 --> 00:01:14.871
- And i do want to say you came on a good day
- 00:01:14.871 --> 00:01:16.672
- And the reason why i got a word for you,
- 00:01:17.473 --> 00:01:19.942
- But also we're giving away a lot of money today.
- 00:01:19.942 --> 00:01:23.346
- I just woke somebody up, somebody to say, okay,
- 00:01:23.346 --> 00:01:25.748
- All right.
- 00:01:25.748 --> 00:01:26.282
- I like this church.
- 00:01:26.282 --> 00:01:27.116
- What are you going to do all right.
- 00:01:27.116 --> 00:01:28.050
- Now? no, no, let me clarify that to you.
- 00:01:28.050 --> 00:01:29.685
- Okay. but.
- 00:01:29.685 --> 00:01:32.889
- But back to organizations
- 00:01:33.456 --> 00:01:36.025
- That are helping people fight addictions,
- 00:01:36.025 --> 00:01:38.728
- Helping save the lives of babies,
- 00:01:38.728 --> 00:01:40.763
- Helping save women who are pregnant and scared,
- 00:01:40.763 --> 00:01:43.766
- Helping the homeless, helping, giving back into the community.
- 00:01:43.766 --> 00:01:47.036
- This year, we're going to get more than we ever have before,
- 00:01:47.036 --> 00:01:50.973
- And i'm excited about that.
- 00:01:51.574 --> 00:01:52.842
- And that's something god has taught us to be obedient on.
- 00:01:52.842 --> 00:01:55.144
- I told you guys
- 00:01:55.144 --> 00:01:56.012
- Just a couple of weeks ago
- 00:01:56.012 --> 00:01:57.613
- That, you know, we give 10% back into the community.
- 00:01:57.613 --> 00:02:00.183
- I believe at this point we're giving 13% back.
- 00:02:00.183 --> 00:02:03.319
- We decided to do more.
- 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:04.420
- And i'm going to share that with you.
- 00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:05.521
- What are we going to do these things
- 00:02:05.521 --> 00:02:06.656
- And what we're going to do.
- 00:02:06.656 --> 00:02:07.757
- But let's get to the biblical basics of why we give.
- 00:02:07.757 --> 00:02:10.960
- All right.
- 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.627
- James makes it very clear in
- 00:02:11.627 --> 00:02:12.895
- James chapter one, verse 16 and 17, james is stating,
- 00:02:12.895 --> 00:02:16.165
- Listen, your blessings are not random.
- 00:02:16.165 --> 00:02:19.502
- This change your mindset on this.
- 00:02:19.502 --> 00:02:21.237
- Okay, let's shift
- 00:02:21.237 --> 00:02:22.004
- Our perspective
- 00:02:22.004 --> 00:02:23.039
- When it comes to the blessings, because
- 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.540
- Culture is going to tell you, hey, flex your blessings, right?
- 00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:27.543
- Take a nice little picture on instagram,
- 00:02:27.543 --> 00:02:29.278
- Put a filter on it, show them your car,
- 00:02:29.278 --> 00:02:31.247
- Your house like you're doing well in life.
- 00:02:31.247 --> 00:02:33.316
- You're successful like you've reached it.
- 00:02:33.316 --> 00:02:35.251
- But some of the most successful people that i've met in life
- 00:02:35.251 --> 00:02:37.620
- Are still depressed.
- 00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:39.021
- And in fact, some of the people
- 00:02:39.655 --> 00:02:40.890
- That have the biggest achievements
- 00:02:40.890 --> 00:02:42.391
- In their life face so much anxiety
- 00:02:42.391 --> 00:02:44.860
- Because they're afraid they're going to lose everything
- 00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:46.696
- That they've achieved overnight.
- 00:02:46.696 --> 00:02:49.532
- And maybe you can relate to that today.
- 00:02:49.532 --> 00:02:51.667
- So let's look at it differently, okay?
- 00:02:51.667 --> 00:02:53.236
- The blessings of your life are not random.
- 00:02:53.236 --> 00:02:55.905
- They're not by chance.
- 00:02:55.905 --> 00:02:57.073
- They're not accidental.
- 00:02:57.073 --> 00:02:58.407
- No. they're intentional.
- 00:02:58.407 --> 00:03:00.209
- They come with a kingdom assignment.
- 00:03:00.209 --> 00:03:02.778
- And so james says in james chapter one verse 16 and 17,
- 00:03:02.778 --> 00:03:05.982
- He says, don't be misled.
- 00:03:05.982 --> 00:03:09.885
- You know what he means by that.
- 00:03:10.519 --> 00:03:11.821
- Don't get it twisted.
- 00:03:11.821 --> 00:03:13.556
- I know you get up every day and you go to your job at 9 a.m.
- 00:03:13.556 --> 00:03:17.660
- And you work till five.
- 00:03:17.660 --> 00:03:18.894
- Are you work after hours and you make a paycheck.
- 00:03:18.894 --> 00:03:21.364
- But don't get it twisted. don't be confused.
- 00:03:21.364 --> 00:03:23.266
- God still hands you your paycheck.
- 00:03:23.266 --> 00:03:25.668
- But pastor, i got
- 00:03:26.102 --> 00:03:27.169
- Talents and skills and you know i work really hard.
- 00:03:27.169 --> 00:03:29.972
- Okay, but who gave you the skills?
- 00:03:29.972 --> 00:03:32.375
- Who gave you the talents?
- 00:03:32.375 --> 00:03:33.776
- Who gave you the job?
- 00:03:33.776 --> 00:03:34.944
- Who gave you the paycheck?
- 00:03:34.944 --> 00:03:36.712
- So james is saying, don't be misled
- 00:03:36.712 --> 00:03:38.881
- By the things that you think you're achieving on your own.
- 00:03:38.881 --> 00:03:40.883
- No, no, no, dear brothers and sisters, listen to this.
- 00:03:40.883 --> 00:03:42.985
- Whatever is good and perfect is a gift
- 00:03:42.985 --> 00:03:47.323
- Coming down to us from god the father.
- 00:03:47.323 --> 00:03:51.794
- So everything good in your life comes from god.
- 00:03:51.794 --> 00:03:54.930
- And we see this.
- 00:03:54.930 --> 00:03:56.198
- We we see god's mercy and we see god's grace,
- 00:03:56.198 --> 00:03:58.334
- Because even wicked people today
- 00:03:58.334 --> 00:04:00.036
- Know what it's like to have good things.
- 00:04:00.036 --> 00:04:02.171
- Why? because god shows grace and love.
- 00:04:02.171 --> 00:04:05.541
- Everything good
- 00:04:05.541 --> 00:04:06.742
- Comes from above, and his desire is for everyone to repent
- 00:04:06.742 --> 00:04:10.112
- And to change, and to give their life over to christ.
- 00:04:10.112 --> 00:04:13.082
- Even the story of john the baptist, john
- 00:04:13.082 --> 00:04:14.583
- The baptist even confirmed hey, everything good
- 00:04:14.583 --> 00:04:16.786
- Came from above.
- 00:04:16.786 --> 00:04:17.987
- The things that you have today, god wanted you to have it.
- 00:04:17.987 --> 00:04:20.523
- That's why you have it.
- 00:04:21.023 --> 00:04:22.591
- If he didn't want you to have it, he'll take it away from you.
- 00:04:22.591 --> 00:04:25.461
- And so sometimes we're praying for things, but we listen is
- 00:04:25.461 --> 00:04:28.698
- What we're going to get into today.
- 00:04:28.698 --> 00:04:30.032
- We don't know the weight of the things we're praying for.
- 00:04:30.032 --> 00:04:33.102
- Some of y'all have been asking god things for years,
- 00:04:34.136 --> 00:04:36.939
- And god is like, you're not ready
- 00:04:36.939 --> 00:04:38.874
- Because you don't know the heaviness
- 00:04:38.874 --> 00:04:41.110
- That comes along with this,
- 00:04:41.110 --> 00:04:42.812
- The responsibilities that come along with this. why?
- 00:04:42.812 --> 00:04:45.915
- Because blessings are not lucky.
- 00:04:45.915 --> 00:04:47.650
- Again, they're not accidental. they're not random.
- 00:04:47.650 --> 00:04:50.019
- They're assignments from heaven.
- 00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:52.221
- Let me show you an example of this.
- 00:04:52.221 --> 00:04:54.156
- We talked about abraham about two weeks ago.
- 00:04:54.156 --> 00:04:55.925
- I want to show you something different now in the text.
- 00:04:55.925 --> 00:04:58.094
- So let's turn back to genesis chapter 12,
- 00:04:58.094 --> 00:05:00.596
- Verses one through three. all right.
- 00:05:00.596 --> 00:05:02.164
- So look at this with me.
- 00:05:02.164 --> 00:05:03.699
- It stated that the lord had said to abraham,
- 00:05:03.699 --> 00:05:06.769
- Leave your native country, your relatives
- 00:05:06.769 --> 00:05:09.505
- And your father's family, and go to the land
- 00:05:09.505 --> 00:05:12.541
- That i will show you.
- 00:05:12.541 --> 00:05:14.043
- Now i still believe that this is very important
- 00:05:14.043 --> 00:05:16.145
- Because god is speaking to us every single day,
- 00:05:16.145 --> 00:05:18.781
- Showing us where to go and what directions to take.
- 00:05:18.781 --> 00:05:21.717
- But notice that abraham didn't have a gps.
- 00:05:21.717 --> 00:05:23.853
- Notice that abraham didn't have a man
- 00:05:24.587 --> 00:05:26.555
- Notice that abraham didn't even know where he was going.
- 00:05:26.555 --> 00:05:28.991
- He had to depend on the voice
- 00:05:28.991 --> 00:05:30.393
- Of god to get where he needed to be.
- 00:05:30.393 --> 00:05:32.695
- Too many of us are using people.
- 00:05:32.695 --> 00:05:34.830
- We're using chat to you,
- 00:05:34.830 --> 00:05:36.132
- And we're using all these other things,
- 00:05:36.132 --> 00:05:37.666
- But we're not spending time with the lord to ask god,
- 00:05:37.666 --> 00:05:39.935
- What do i need to go?
- 00:05:39.935 --> 00:05:42.271
- You jumped into a relationship because somebody gave
- 00:05:42.271 --> 00:05:44.140
- You relationship advice, but they don't even have good
- 00:05:44.140 --> 00:05:46.008
- Relationships themselves.
- 00:05:46.008 --> 00:05:47.943
- You see, it can be a disaster when you're listening
- 00:05:47.943 --> 00:05:49.912
- To the wrong voices.
- 00:05:49.912 --> 00:05:51.313
- But also, abraham comes from where
- 00:05:51.313 --> 00:05:53.349
- The land of the chaldeans, which means he has a pagan past.
- 00:05:53.349 --> 00:05:56.051
- God says, i'll change everything about you.
- 00:05:56.051 --> 00:05:58.087
- I'll change your family.
- 00:05:58.087 --> 00:05:59.221
- I'll change the generations to come.
- 00:05:59.221 --> 00:06:00.823
- But in order to see the change, you got to follow.
- 00:06:00.823 --> 00:06:04.727
- You willing to follow
- 00:06:05.227 --> 00:06:07.129
- And praying for a change in your family,
- 00:06:07.129 --> 00:06:08.664
- Generational curses being done with
- 00:06:08.664 --> 00:06:10.933
- You gotta listen to the lord's voice every single day.
- 00:06:10.933 --> 00:06:14.737
- Because trust me, if you don't listen to the lord's
- 00:06:15.738 --> 00:06:17.473
- Voice, satan is also speaking.
- 00:06:17.473 --> 00:06:20.843
- Demons are also speaking.
- 00:06:20.843 --> 00:06:21.977
- Your flesh is also speaking.
- 00:06:21.977 --> 00:06:23.679
- Selfishness will speak to you.
- 00:06:23.679 --> 00:06:25.714
- Our flesh is selfish by nature,
- 00:06:25.714 --> 00:06:28.951
- So we need to hear the lord and what to do and where to go
- 00:06:28.951 --> 00:06:31.053
- And what to sacrifice, what to give over to the lord.
- 00:06:31.053 --> 00:06:33.889
- But listen to this.
- 00:06:33.889 --> 00:06:34.990
- Here's the promise right here i will make you.
- 00:06:34.990 --> 00:06:37.026
- God is speaking to abraham.
- 00:06:37.026 --> 00:06:38.294
- I will make you into a great nation.
- 00:06:38.294 --> 00:06:40.863
- This is the nation of israel.
- 00:06:40.863 --> 00:06:42.798
- I will bless you and i will make you famous.
- 00:06:42.798 --> 00:06:46.802
- And because i will make you famous,
- 00:06:46.802 --> 00:06:48.504
- I'll make you to be a blessing to others,
- 00:06:48.504 --> 00:06:52.441
- And i will bless those who bless you.
- 00:06:52.441 --> 00:06:55.544
- And i will curse those who treat you with contempt.
- 00:06:55.544 --> 00:06:58.781
- And all the families of the
- 00:06:58.781 --> 00:07:00.716
- Earth will be blessed by and through you.
- 00:07:00.716 --> 00:07:04.587
- So let's really ask the question here.
- 00:07:04.587 --> 00:07:06.422
- What is the purpose of a blessing, right?
- 00:07:06.422 --> 00:07:09.692
- Because i feel like a lot of us
- 00:07:09.692 --> 00:07:10.793
- Coming to church and we're like,
- 00:07:10.793 --> 00:07:11.827
- God bless me, god, i would love some blessings,
- 00:07:11.827 --> 00:07:14.763
- But i want to be blessed.
- 00:07:15.331 --> 00:07:16.298
- Hashtag.
- 00:07:16.298 --> 00:07:16.899
- You know, blessed on
- 00:07:16.899 --> 00:07:18.033
- Everything that i god, it's going to be great.
- 00:07:18.033 --> 00:07:20.269
- Oh, there's weight with it.
- 00:07:20.269 --> 00:07:22.304
- There's a lot of weight with blessings.
- 00:07:23.105 --> 00:07:25.608
- Let's break it down.
- 00:07:25.608 --> 00:07:27.142
- The first thing is this god says i will bless you.
- 00:07:27.142 --> 00:07:31.146
- Meaning god is stating i am the source, not you.
- 00:07:31.146 --> 00:07:35.518
- Again, i know that you show up to your 9 to 5
- 00:07:36.452 --> 00:07:38.754
- Or you work late hours. but listen, i am still the source.
- 00:07:38.754 --> 00:07:41.724
- You know what i love about this?
- 00:07:41.724 --> 00:07:42.992
- God is saying i'm not a distant god.
- 00:07:42.992 --> 00:07:46.662
- He's saying i'm not just in heaven,
- 00:07:47.429 --> 00:07:49.098
- Not not caring about your situation.
- 00:07:49.098 --> 00:07:50.866
- I know you have needs. i know you have bills to pay.
- 00:07:50.866 --> 00:07:52.801
- I know that there's things that you need to see in
- 00:07:52.801 --> 00:07:54.503
- Your life, that you have goals and aspirations.
- 00:07:54.503 --> 00:07:56.272
- But listen, don't get it twisted.
- 00:07:56.272 --> 00:07:57.973
- Don't start worshiping the world.
- 00:07:57.973 --> 00:07:59.575
- I am the source. but guess what? you are the vessel.
- 00:07:59.575 --> 00:08:02.745
- I am the vessel, right?
- 00:08:03.245 --> 00:08:04.980
- So. so god uses us as vessels, which means he wants a close
- 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:08.851
- Relationship with you so he can pour into you.
- 00:08:08.851 --> 00:08:11.921
- When people come to this church and they tell me the words
- 00:08:13.055 --> 00:08:16.358
- Being preached out at this house
- 00:08:16.358 --> 00:08:17.493
- Changed my life, i get it, and i'm thankful for that.
- 00:08:17.493 --> 00:08:20.329
- But i'm just a vessel.
- 00:08:20.329 --> 00:08:22.932
- I don't need to know what i'm saying half the time.
- 00:08:22.932 --> 00:08:24.667
- I'll be honest with you.
- 00:08:24.667 --> 00:08:26.101
- Sometimes i look back at the summer, i'm like,
- 00:08:26.101 --> 00:08:27.670
- God, you're so good.
- 00:08:27.670 --> 00:08:28.604
- Like, you made me look smart on that one
- 00:08:28.604 --> 00:08:29.772
- Because i didn't even know i was going there with that.
- 00:08:29.772 --> 00:08:32.007
- God will speak to you.
- 00:08:32.007 --> 00:08:35.377
- I want that for you.
- 00:08:35.377 --> 00:08:37.179
- I want you to get into a situation
- 00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:38.714
- Where you meet a stranger and you meet somebody and god.
- 00:08:38.714 --> 00:08:40.516
- God's like, speak to them.
- 00:08:40.516 --> 00:08:42.751
- But, god, i'm afraid to do that.
- 00:08:43.385 --> 00:08:44.520
- Okay, but who's your source?
- 00:08:44.520 --> 00:08:48.023
- You're the vessel i'll pour through you
- 00:08:48.023 --> 00:08:50.492
- And it will overflow.
- 00:08:50.492 --> 00:08:52.728
- That's what god is stating here.
- 00:08:52.728 --> 00:08:54.396
- I will bless you.
- 00:08:54.396 --> 00:08:56.231
- God is always the source.
- 00:08:56.231 --> 00:08:59.535
- Okay, the second thing is this.
- 00:08:59.535 --> 00:09:01.437
- What is god saying to abraham?
- 00:09:01.437 --> 00:09:03.672
- You will be a blessing.
- 00:09:03.672 --> 00:09:07.643
- So again, what are we looking for within culture?
- 00:09:07.643 --> 00:09:10.779
- We're looking for blessings in the moment.
- 00:09:10.779 --> 00:09:13.716
- Again, we would love to take a picture or say god or people.
- 00:09:13.716 --> 00:09:17.252
- Look at all my achievements that i have.
- 00:09:17.252 --> 00:09:19.221
- But what do we do?
- 00:09:19.221 --> 00:09:19.888
- We live in the moment.
- 00:09:19.888 --> 00:09:21.290
- But those moments fade because here's a reality check.
- 00:09:21.290 --> 00:09:24.960
- Even if you get the new house
- 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.429
- Five years down the road, ten years down
- 00:09:27.429 --> 00:09:28.764
- The road, you may want a new one.
- 00:09:28.764 --> 00:09:30.499
- Even with a brand new car,
- 00:09:30.499 --> 00:09:31.867
- You're still going to want a new one. all right.
- 00:09:31.867 --> 00:09:33.369
- With the new material possessions that you have,
- 00:09:33.369 --> 00:09:35.304
- Listen, you can still be empty on the inside.
- 00:09:35.304 --> 00:09:38.707
- You can still have a void because only
- 00:09:38.707 --> 00:09:40.209
- Jesus christ can fill that void.
- 00:09:40.209 --> 00:09:42.645
- So i want you to see this.
- 00:09:42.645 --> 00:09:43.912
- You will be a blessing not to just feel blessed in the moment,
- 00:09:43.912 --> 00:09:48.884
- But about becoming a blessing to many others.
- 00:09:48.884 --> 00:09:52.788
- I'm telling you, it's the
- 00:09:53.355 --> 00:09:54.356
- Greatest feeling to be used for the lord.
- 00:09:54.356 --> 00:09:58.360
- I still remember in the startup of authentic church,
- 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:02.164
- I was in the backyard and i told you guys
- 00:10:02.164 --> 00:10:04.233
- I was preaching a lot and just filming with my iphone.
- 00:10:04.233 --> 00:10:06.902
- Terrible experience, but god had mercy on me.
- 00:10:06.902 --> 00:10:10.172
- And i remember one day,
- 00:10:10.172 --> 00:10:12.141
- I just wanted to go out and speak a little bit
- 00:10:12.141 --> 00:10:14.176
- Because it was sunday morning.
- 00:10:14.176 --> 00:10:15.611
- I was going to preach and i didn't feel like it.
- 00:10:15.611 --> 00:10:18.947
- There had one of those moments,
- 00:10:18.947 --> 00:10:20.716
- God's like, i want you to do this.
- 00:10:20.716 --> 00:10:21.784
- You know, like how i feel like,
- 00:10:21.784 --> 00:10:24.186
- I'm tired.
- 00:10:24.186 --> 00:10:25.020
- Like people are bugging me.
- 00:10:25.020 --> 00:10:27.022
- I don't feel it.
- 00:10:27.022 --> 00:10:28.223
- And i really wrestled with god.
- 00:10:28.223 --> 00:10:31.026
- And so i just listen to the lord.
- 00:10:31.026 --> 00:10:32.294
- I'm like, all right, i'm gonna get out there
- 00:10:32.294 --> 00:10:33.295
- And still preach and do this thing.
- 00:10:33.295 --> 00:10:34.797
- I don't even know if anybody is watching.
- 00:10:34.797 --> 00:10:36.365
- Probably like ten people.
- 00:10:36.365 --> 00:10:37.800
- And i started preaching. and the thing is, i didn't feel it.
- 00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:42.037
- But god
- 00:10:42.271 --> 00:10:43.338
- Was still using me and i still wanted to be obedient.
- 00:10:43.338 --> 00:10:46.408
- And then after i preached that message online,
- 00:10:46.408 --> 00:10:49.244
- People started to reach out to me.
- 00:10:49.244 --> 00:10:50.446
- And i'll never forget this one comment.
- 00:10:50.446 --> 00:10:52.047
- This message just saved my life.
- 00:10:52.047 --> 00:10:57.152
- I feel it.
- 00:10:57.453 --> 00:11:00.756
- See, god sees you.
- 00:11:01.190 --> 00:11:02.357
- And the thing is, you're going to have to fight your flesh.
- 00:11:02.357 --> 00:11:05.461
- You're actually going to have to fight your mindset at times.
- 00:11:05.461 --> 00:11:07.563
- Sometimes it seems impossible.
- 00:11:07.563 --> 00:11:08.831
- God use me to overflow, to be a blessing to others.
- 00:11:08.831 --> 00:11:12.000
- Do you know my life?
- 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.736
- Do you know where i come from?
- 00:11:13.736 --> 00:11:14.703
- Do you know what i do with
- 00:11:14.703 --> 00:11:15.571
- You know my struggles and it's don't.
- 00:11:15.571 --> 00:11:17.139
- I don't feel it.
- 00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:17.940
- I don't have the personality today
- 00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:19.441
- To deal with this, but god still wants to use you
- 00:11:19.441 --> 00:11:22.010
- As a blessing that is overflowing.
- 00:11:22.010 --> 00:11:24.446
- And all you have to do is be obedient
- 00:11:24.446 --> 00:11:26.448
- To him and listen to his voice.
- 00:11:26.448 --> 00:11:28.450
- You know what god would do after that?
- 00:11:29.284 --> 00:11:30.486
- Listen to the third thing.
- 00:11:30.486 --> 00:11:31.920
- I will bless those who bless you.
- 00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:34.556
- Blessings become contagious.
- 00:11:34.556 --> 00:11:37.926
- This is actually a biblical theme
- 00:11:37.926 --> 00:11:39.962
- That we see out of the bible.
- 00:11:39.962 --> 00:11:41.797
- It's real.
- 00:11:41.797 --> 00:11:43.031
- Remember the story of jacob.
- 00:11:43.031 --> 00:11:45.234
- Jacob is through the lineage of abraham.
- 00:11:45.234 --> 00:11:47.703
- So the same promise
- 00:11:47.703 --> 00:11:48.837
- Had spoken over abraham is spoken over jacob,
- 00:11:48.837 --> 00:11:51.874
- And jacob has some real problems in his life.
- 00:11:51.874 --> 00:11:54.710
- He's got some real messes. why?
- 00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:56.812
- Because his brother wants to kill him.
- 00:11:56.812 --> 00:11:59.381
- I'm not talking about like an argument
- 00:11:59.381 --> 00:12:00.849
- You have with your siblings, and they throw a shoe
- 00:12:00.849 --> 00:12:02.584
- At your face and you're like, i'm going to kill him.
- 00:12:02.584 --> 00:12:04.119
- You know what i mean? like, no, i'm talking about real death.
- 00:12:04.119 --> 00:12:07.022
- Like they were fighting over the birthright
- 00:12:07.022 --> 00:12:10.092
- Because jacob, tricked his brother esau with some stew.
- 00:12:10.092 --> 00:12:13.862
- It's the most manly argument i've ever seen in my life.
- 00:12:13.862 --> 00:12:16.431
- Two men fighting over some food, giving away a birthright.
- 00:12:16.431 --> 00:12:19.968
- Now i'm going to kill you for it, you know what i mean?
- 00:12:19.968 --> 00:12:21.904
- And so he's on the run,
- 00:12:21.904 --> 00:12:24.072
- And he hears from god and gets blessed
- 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.543
- And god meets him. you know what i love about this story?
- 00:12:27.543 --> 00:12:29.278
- You could be on the run
- 00:12:29.278 --> 00:12:31.814
- From the messes in your life.
- 00:12:31.814 --> 00:12:33.182
- God wants to meet with you.
- 00:12:33.182 --> 00:12:35.050
- He will still meet with you.
- 00:12:35.050 --> 00:12:36.418
- And god said to him, hey,
- 00:12:36.418 --> 00:12:37.419
- The same promise i spoke over abraham.
- 00:12:37.419 --> 00:12:39.254
- I'm speaking over you.
- 00:12:39.254 --> 00:12:41.657
- And so if you know the story, you know that jacob goes
- 00:12:41.657 --> 00:12:43.592
- To his uncle's house.
- 00:12:43.592 --> 00:12:44.493
- Laban, he says to laban, i'm going to.
- 00:12:44.493 --> 00:12:46.829
- I'm going to work for you.
- 00:12:46.829 --> 00:12:47.763
- But he started to meet his daughter rachel,
- 00:12:47.763 --> 00:12:49.832
- And he falls in love with rachel.
- 00:12:49.832 --> 00:12:50.899
- And the bible says she was very, very beautiful.
- 00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:53.101
- And so he said, listen, i'll make a commitment today.
- 00:12:53.101 --> 00:12:55.637
- I'll work seven years for you
- 00:12:55.637 --> 00:12:58.140
- To marry your daughter, to have her hand in marriage.
- 00:12:58.140 --> 00:13:01.443
- Listen, ladies. find you a jacob.
- 00:13:01.443 --> 00:13:04.146
- Because we're living in a
- 00:13:04.713 --> 00:13:05.581
- Culture today where people can't even
- 00:13:05.581 --> 00:13:07.015
- Make commitment for a month,
- 00:13:07.015 --> 00:13:09.451
- For weeks.
- 00:13:09.451 --> 00:13:11.086
- This man is like,
- 00:13:11.086 --> 00:13:12.154
- I will work seven years for your hand in marriage.
- 00:13:12.154 --> 00:13:14.857
- I will make sure i do anything that i can to be with her.
- 00:13:14.857 --> 00:13:17.793
- Okay? this was the love of his life.
- 00:13:17.793 --> 00:13:20.596
- But if you know the story also, laban started to notice
- 00:13:20.596 --> 00:13:23.799
- Some stuff like jacob, jacob's been here.
- 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.436
- My stuff is getting blessed, my livestock is increasing,
- 00:13:27.436 --> 00:13:30.706
- My finances are doing good, my crypto's going up.
- 00:13:30.706 --> 00:13:32.975
- You know what i mean?
- 00:13:32.975 --> 00:13:34.142
- Like, all of these things are starting to happen now.
- 00:13:34.142 --> 00:13:35.844
- So you know what?
- 00:13:35.844 --> 00:13:36.678
- He tricks jacob and jacob wakes up
- 00:13:36.678 --> 00:13:39.681
- On his wedding night with the wrong woman.
- 00:13:39.681 --> 00:13:43.085
- The bible is crazy.
- 00:13:43.085 --> 00:13:44.186
- Listen, i say it all the time.
- 00:13:44.186 --> 00:13:46.221
- The bible is not boring.
- 00:13:46.221 --> 00:13:46.922
- You're boring.
- 00:13:46.922 --> 00:13:48.023
- Okay, like there's some crazy stories in this bible.
- 00:13:48.023 --> 00:13:49.958
- He wakes up with the wrong woman,
- 00:13:49.958 --> 00:13:51.059
- Wakes up with her sister leah. okay.
- 00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:53.762
- And i'm sure it was beautiful.
- 00:13:53.762 --> 00:13:55.330
- But the bible always says she has a lazy eye.
- 00:13:55.330 --> 00:13:57.099
- So he wakes up, he sees her, is like what happened?
- 00:13:57.099 --> 00:14:01.303
- And so he tricks him. why?
- 00:14:01.870 --> 00:14:03.605
- Because there's a blessing, an anointing on his life.
- 00:14:03.605 --> 00:14:07.643
- So it's crazy like laban's.
- 00:14:08.243 --> 00:14:09.811
- Like, listen, i for me, seven more years,
- 00:14:09.811 --> 00:14:13.248
- Then you can marry rachel.
- 00:14:13.248 --> 00:14:15.317
- 14 years,
- 00:14:15.317 --> 00:14:17.753
- 14 years of a commitment.
- 00:14:17.753 --> 00:14:19.788
- Now here's what i mean though. i'm going to show you this.
- 00:14:19.788 --> 00:14:22.124
- He recognized that there were blessings on jacob's life.
- 00:14:22.124 --> 00:14:27.095
- Genesis chapter 30, verse 27.
- 00:14:27.095 --> 00:14:29.298
- Please listen to me. laban replied.
- 00:14:29.298 --> 00:14:31.300
- He said, i have become wealthy,
- 00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:34.636
- For the lord has blessed me because of you.
- 00:14:34.636 --> 00:14:38.073
- I see god on your life.
- 00:14:38.073 --> 00:14:40.776
- I see what god's doing
- 00:14:40.776 --> 00:14:43.445
- Again, you don't have to tell people
- 00:14:43.445 --> 00:14:44.980
- What the lord is doing in your life.
- 00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:46.281
- Just just let god show them.
- 00:14:46.281 --> 00:14:49.284
- People are going to notice the
- 00:14:49.284 --> 00:14:51.219
- Anointing or the blessings or what god's doing to you.
- 00:14:51.219 --> 00:14:54.589
- Let me also prepare you.
- 00:14:54.589 --> 00:14:55.557
- Some people will be very jealous over that.
- 00:14:55.557 --> 00:14:58.794
- Some people want
- 00:14:59.194 --> 00:15:00.028
- To attack you and come after you
- 00:15:00.028 --> 00:15:02.130
- Because they don't like the things that you have.
- 00:15:02.130 --> 00:15:03.799
- But listen, they didn't place it in your hands.
- 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:05.567
- God didn't worry about it.
- 00:15:05.567 --> 00:15:08.270
- If god placed it in your hands, the enemy can't take it.
- 00:15:08.270 --> 00:15:10.439
- No person can take what god has placed in your life.
- 00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:13.508
- You just walk by obedience and trust him.
- 00:15:13.508 --> 00:15:16.378
- Okay?
- 00:15:16.378 --> 00:15:17.679
- And so we believe as a church we are blessed to be a what
- 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:21.016
- A blessing.
- 00:15:21.016 --> 00:15:22.718
- So guess what we did this week?
- 00:15:22.718 --> 00:15:24.686
- I'm going to share some things with you.
- 00:15:24.686 --> 00:15:25.754
- The first thing we did is this we gave away $10,000
- 00:15:25.754 --> 00:15:30.359
- To compassion international.
- 00:15:30.359 --> 00:15:33.495
- Not that long ago i was able to do a commercial with them.
- 00:15:33.495 --> 00:15:35.897
- They're incredible people who truly care about the world
- 00:15:35.897 --> 00:15:38.700
- And care about these children. now, listen to this.
- 00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:40.502
- We're able to provide ten water wells,
- 00:15:40.502 --> 00:15:43.572
- I believe 50 hygiene kits.
- 00:15:43.572 --> 00:15:45.741
- This is really cool to me.
- 00:15:45.741 --> 00:15:46.475
- Five cows, 12 goats, two pigs.
- 00:15:46.475 --> 00:15:49.111
- Like this whole farm, you know what i mean?
- 00:15:49.111 --> 00:15:51.013
- Like, we got two going on,
- 00:15:51.013 --> 00:15:52.981
- 15 unsponsored children taking care of.
- 00:15:53.782 --> 00:15:57.552
- I love this right here.
- 00:15:57.552 --> 00:15:58.720
- We sent a student to college
- 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.724
- By giving this amount to compassion international.
- 00:16:02.724 --> 00:16:05.927
- We are to be
- 00:16:06.261 --> 00:16:07.429
- Blessed to be a blessing that just change someone's life.
- 00:16:07.429 --> 00:16:10.832
- And we may never know exactly how it changed their life,
- 00:16:10.832 --> 00:16:13.068
- But god does.
- 00:16:13.068 --> 00:16:14.669
- And we do this to be generous, right?
- 00:16:14.669 --> 00:16:16.671
- To make an impact for the kingdom of god.
- 00:16:16.671 --> 00:16:18.140
- Now, we didn't stop there.
- 00:16:18.140 --> 00:16:19.908
- Let me show you something else.
- 00:16:19.908 --> 00:16:20.709
- I took the second
- 00:16:20.709 --> 00:16:22.778
- 15,000 at samaritan's purse this week as well.
- 00:16:22.778 --> 00:16:26.448
- I want to share the story
- 00:16:27.015 --> 00:16:28.116
- With you, because we were going to give $10,000 away
- 00:16:28.116 --> 00:16:31.586
- To samaritan's purse, but then we found out with 15,000,
- 00:16:31.586 --> 00:16:34.689
- You could build an entire house of worship in africa.
- 00:16:34.689 --> 00:16:37.559
- So that's what we did this week.
- 00:16:38.193 --> 00:16:40.262
- We gave two to build an entire house of worship
- 00:16:40.262 --> 00:16:44.132
- For $15,000 in africa through samaritan's purse.
- 00:16:44.132 --> 00:16:48.770
- Can we just give god some praise on that?
- 00:16:48.770 --> 00:16:50.906
- The fact that we could even do that
- 00:16:50.906 --> 00:16:53.308
- And listen, it's still moving by faith.
- 00:16:53.308 --> 00:16:55.043
- There's a lot of things that we need as a church
- 00:16:55.043 --> 00:16:56.545
- To we're trying to get a house of worship
- 00:16:56.545 --> 00:16:58.680
- Where we can all fit in it, you know what i mean?
- 00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:01.083
- But i believe we are blessed to be a blessing.
- 00:17:01.083 --> 00:17:04.619
- And i want to not only talk it, but i want to walk the walk.
- 00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:07.889
- I want to see it within our church.
- 00:17:07.889 --> 00:17:08.857
- I want to see it within my own personal life.
- 00:17:08.857 --> 00:17:10.358
- I want it to be between me and god. are you god?
- 00:17:10.358 --> 00:17:12.060
- If you tell me to give, i'm going to give
- 00:17:12.060 --> 00:17:14.162
- And i'm going to believe that you're going to multiply it.
- 00:17:14.162 --> 00:17:15.831
- And god, whatever you want to do with it, you do with it.
- 00:17:15.831 --> 00:17:17.866
- I just want to please you.
- 00:17:17.866 --> 00:17:19.201
- That is my heart right now.
- 00:17:19.201 --> 00:17:21.002
- That should be our heart posture.
- 00:17:21.002 --> 00:17:22.971
- And again, what did god tell abraham, though?
- 00:17:22.971 --> 00:17:25.140
- Genesis 12 verse three says, i will bless those who bless you.
- 00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:28.477
- So here's what we wanted to do.
- 00:17:28.477 --> 00:17:30.278
- We also gave $2,500 to the one for israel or organization.
- 00:17:30.278 --> 00:17:35.450
- Something crazy about israel.
- 00:17:36.084 --> 00:17:37.185
- When i when i went out to israel,
- 00:17:37.185 --> 00:17:38.386
- I realized how many jews out
- 00:17:38.386 --> 00:17:40.155
- There have never heard of jesus christ.
- 00:17:40.155 --> 00:17:43.391
- Like i was flabbergasted.
- 00:17:43.391 --> 00:17:44.493
- I remember talking to one guy
- 00:17:44.493 --> 00:17:46.027
- And i was like, have you heard about jesus?
- 00:17:46.027 --> 00:17:47.496
- And he said to me, he said, the only thing i've heard about
- 00:17:47.496 --> 00:17:49.498
- Jesus is that is it he, like hitler?
- 00:17:49.498 --> 00:17:52.667
- That's what he told me.
- 00:17:53.168 --> 00:17:54.536
- And so through this organization,
- 00:17:54.536 --> 00:17:55.937
- They are helping spread the gospel
- 00:17:55.937 --> 00:17:57.472
- Of jesus christ across israel.
- 00:17:57.472 --> 00:17:59.541
- And they're also training jewish
- 00:17:59.541 --> 00:18:00.842
- And arab christians to be led by the holy spirit.
- 00:18:00.842 --> 00:18:04.012
- I think this is very powerful, very important
- 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:06.615
- For us to do, to be praying over israel
- 00:18:06.615 --> 00:18:10.185
- And expand the gospel of jesus there.
- 00:18:10.185 --> 00:18:12.921
- But one more thing i want to show you
- 00:18:12.921 --> 00:18:14.156
- When it comes to abraham's blessing.
- 00:18:14.156 --> 00:18:16.158
- The last thing is this
- 00:18:16.625 --> 00:18:17.425
- All families will be blessed.
- 00:18:17.425 --> 00:18:20.629
- Notice what he said there. okay.
- 00:18:20.629 --> 00:18:22.330
- And the main reason of this,
- 00:18:22.330 --> 00:18:23.532
- Because through the lineage of abraham comes
- 00:18:23.532 --> 00:18:25.800
- Jesus christ, and because of jesus,
- 00:18:25.800 --> 00:18:27.903
- For all blessing, forgiving of our sins.
- 00:18:27.903 --> 00:18:29.771
- But i also want you to see this.
- 00:18:29.771 --> 00:18:30.939
- It starts off a little different.
- 00:18:30.939 --> 00:18:32.374
- It states, i will curse those also
- 00:18:32.374 --> 00:18:35.243
- Who treat you with contempt, and all the families
- 00:18:35.243 --> 00:18:38.680
- Of the earth will be blessed through you.
- 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.850
- You know what? this is powerful.
- 00:18:41.850 --> 00:18:43.451
- God is saying, listen, i spoke a promise over you
- 00:18:43.451 --> 00:18:46.755
- And i want you to understand that too.
- 00:18:47.589 --> 00:18:48.690
- God has spoken to promises of your life,
- 00:18:48.690 --> 00:18:50.825
- And god is saying, okay,
- 00:18:50.825 --> 00:18:51.927
- If somebody comes after that promise,
- 00:18:51.927 --> 00:18:53.562
- They're not going to deal with you.
- 00:18:53.562 --> 00:18:54.563
- They're going to do with me.
- 00:18:54.563 --> 00:18:56.331
- That's what god is saying.
- 00:18:56.331 --> 00:18:57.532
- If they want to curse you, they just curse me.
- 00:18:57.532 --> 00:18:59.601
- They picked a fight with me. now you.
- 00:18:59.601 --> 00:19:02.370
- How do you fight your battles?
- 00:19:02.370 --> 00:19:03.705
- It's very easy to want to throw some fist, right?
- 00:19:03.705 --> 00:19:06.775
- It's very easy to want to say some choice words.
- 00:19:06.775 --> 00:19:09.311
- But here's how you fight your battles. you get at this altar
- 00:19:09.311 --> 00:19:12.147
- And you say, god, take away the pain.
- 00:19:12.948 --> 00:19:15.483
- Take away the hate.
- 00:19:15.483 --> 00:19:16.351
- I don't want this root of bitterness
- 00:19:16.351 --> 00:19:17.819
- To grow on the inside of me.
- 00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:19.020
- It's destroy me and it's giving me anxiety.
- 00:19:19.020 --> 00:19:22.257
- And so i'm going to give it to you today.
- 00:19:23.091 --> 00:19:25.427
- Don't stress about defending yourself.
- 00:19:25.427 --> 00:19:27.295
- The lord will defend you.
- 00:19:27.295 --> 00:19:29.731
- He can handle it way better than you ever could.
- 00:19:29.731 --> 00:19:32.067
- Listen to this.
- 00:19:32.067 --> 00:19:33.301
- One of my favorite verses is in romans chapter 12, verse 19.
- 00:19:33.301 --> 00:19:36.538
- Dear friends, never take revenge.
- 00:19:36.538 --> 00:19:40.208
- Never take revenge.
- 00:19:40.675 --> 00:19:41.943
- Leave that to the righteous anger of god.
- 00:19:41.943 --> 00:19:44.980
- For the scriptures say, i will take revenge.
- 00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:48.283
- I will pay them back, says the lord says i don't.
- 00:19:48.283 --> 00:19:52.120
- I is a good god is protecting you.
- 00:19:52.120 --> 00:19:58.193
- And i love the story of david too,
- 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:00.362
- Because david says, even while i sleep,
- 00:20:00.362 --> 00:20:03.465
- You defend me.
- 00:20:03.798 --> 00:20:05.967
- I can rest my head in peace
- 00:20:05.967 --> 00:20:08.937
- And know that you protect me and guide me.
- 00:20:08.937 --> 00:20:12.040
- Blessings are meant to pour through you,
- 00:20:12.907 --> 00:20:16.411
- To overflow through you so that you could bless others.
- 00:20:16.411 --> 00:20:19.648
- Which means blessings also come with weight.
- 00:20:19.648 --> 00:20:23.251
- And so i change some things
- 00:20:23.251 --> 00:20:26.354
- You see in the devotional.
- 00:20:26.354 --> 00:20:28.223
- I have a different title today.
- 00:20:28.223 --> 00:20:29.491
- Here's my new title.
- 00:20:29.491 --> 00:20:30.825
- There's pressure in the blessing.
- 00:20:30.825 --> 00:20:34.462
- This is what the lord place in my heart.
- 00:20:33.561 --> 00:20:36.331
- And here's what i want to show you in scripture,
- 00:20:36.331 --> 00:20:38.166
- Because i believe a lot of times
- 00:20:38.166 --> 00:20:39.467
- We come into the church, we're like, god, just bless me.
- 00:20:39.467 --> 00:20:41.336
- Just give me everything that i want.
- 00:20:41.336 --> 00:20:42.637
- I don't think we can handle the things we want,
- 00:20:42.637 --> 00:20:44.973
- And some of the very
- 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.541
- Things that you want may actually ruin your life,
- 00:20:46.541 --> 00:20:49.611
- Because they may reveal some of the greed,
- 00:20:49.611 --> 00:20:52.380
- Some of the doubts, some of the fear,
- 00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:53.982
- Some of the anxieties on the inside of you.
- 00:20:53.982 --> 00:20:57.385
- And so i believe that god is protecting you.
- 00:20:57.385 --> 00:20:59.054
- But also the scripture is very clear
- 00:20:59.054 --> 00:21:00.522
- What god has placed in your hands. he's
- 00:21:00.522 --> 00:21:02.490
- Also giving you responsibility to steward it well.
- 00:21:02.490 --> 00:21:05.794
- This is not just me talking.
- 00:21:06.394 --> 00:21:07.595
- This is actually biblical.
- 00:21:07.595 --> 00:21:08.997
- Blessings are not to flex with.
- 00:21:08.997 --> 00:21:11.099
- They are for hold the assignments.
- 00:21:11.099 --> 00:21:14.302
- All right so let's dive into it.
- 00:21:14.302 --> 00:21:15.470
- Point number one start strong though.
- 00:21:15.470 --> 00:21:17.439
- Don't pray for more.
- 00:21:17.439 --> 00:21:18.907
- If you're not faithful with the now
- 00:21:18.907 --> 00:21:21.776
- Don't pray for more.
- 00:21:21.776 --> 00:21:22.877
- If you're not faithful with the now again this it need.
- 00:21:22.877 --> 00:21:27.349
- We need discipline when it comes to this.
- 00:21:27.349 --> 00:21:29.017
- This requires discipline, right?
- 00:21:29.017 --> 00:21:31.152
- Because sometimes when we have little,
- 00:21:31.152 --> 00:21:32.587
- We're like, god, this is not enough.
- 00:21:32.587 --> 00:21:34.122
- I can never use this for your kingdom.
- 00:21:34.122 --> 00:21:36.358
- God is testing you right now with the little you have.
- 00:21:36.358 --> 00:21:39.861
- And if you don't learn the discipline with the little,
- 00:21:39.861 --> 00:21:42.130
- You will not be able
- 00:21:42.130 --> 00:21:43.264
- To have discipline when you have a whole lot more.
- 00:21:43.264 --> 00:21:45.300
- Because trust me, temptation gets worse.
- 00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:47.135
- With that.
- 00:21:47.135 --> 00:21:48.403
- Let me show you how the scripture though.
- 00:21:48.403 --> 00:21:50.038
- If you have your bibles, you turn to luke chapter 12,
- 00:21:50.038 --> 00:21:52.540
- Luke chapter 12.
- 00:21:52.941 --> 00:21:54.075
- Jesus is teaching his the disciples about stewardship
- 00:21:54.075 --> 00:21:57.679
- And accountability and the kingdom of god.
- 00:21:57.679 --> 00:22:00.882
- Okay, and he's using a parable to teach this lesson right here.
- 00:22:00.882 --> 00:22:05.720
- The more god trusts you, or the more god trusts you with,
- 00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:10.525
- The more what the more god expects from you.
- 00:22:10.525 --> 00:22:14.262
- This is why there's weight with it.
- 00:22:15.029 --> 00:22:16.431
- The more god places in your hands,
- 00:22:16.431 --> 00:22:18.900
- The more god expects from you,
- 00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:21.202
- Because it proves to responsibility.
- 00:22:21.202 --> 00:22:23.071
- And if you could steward it
- 00:22:23.071 --> 00:22:24.439
- Well, i think it's unique because in luke chapter 12,
- 00:22:24.439 --> 00:22:28.309
- In this chapter, it starts off with god's love for us.
- 00:22:28.309 --> 00:22:32.747
- He's reminding us that god cares for you.
- 00:22:32.747 --> 00:22:36.084
- This is where we get the famous passage
- 00:22:36.084 --> 00:22:38.019
- Do not be anxious over anything.
- 00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:40.221
- Pray for the lord.
- 00:22:40.221 --> 00:22:41.523
- Will provide everything that you need.
- 00:22:41.523 --> 00:22:43.291
- You're stressing out through the night.
- 00:22:43.291 --> 00:22:44.826
- You can't sleep.
- 00:22:44.826 --> 00:22:45.794
- God will provide for you
- 00:22:45.794 --> 00:22:48.096
- If you can provide manna from heaven.
- 00:22:48.096 --> 00:22:50.465
- If he can part the waters to get to the other side,
- 00:22:50.465 --> 00:22:53.435
- He can provide the things that you need
- 00:22:53.435 --> 00:22:55.937
- When you listen to his voice and follow him.
- 00:22:55.937 --> 00:22:58.740
- All right guys, that's all the time we have for today.
- 00:22:58.740 --> 00:23:01.142
- But i pray that today's message bless your life.
- 00:23:01.142 --> 00:23:04.879
- There is a reason you heard this word today.
- 00:23:04.879 --> 00:23:07.415
- It's not by mistake.
- 00:23:07.415 --> 00:23:08.883
- You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
- 00:23:08.883 --> 00:23:12.787
- And listen, if you love this church
- 00:23:12.787 --> 00:23:14.956

- 00:23:59.100 --> 00:23:59.901

- And we saw
- 00:24:05.406 --> 00:24:06.574
- People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
- 00:24:06.574 --> 00:24:10.445
- And even outside of the country
- 00:24:10.445 --> 00:24:12.180

- 00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:14.415
- So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
- 00:24:14.415 --> 00:24:19.821
- We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
- 00:24:19.821 --> 00:24:22.624
- And if you want to look into more details
- 00:24:22.624 --> 00:24:24.993

- 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.729
- In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
- 00:24:27.729 --> 00:24:55.657
- And the
- 00:24:55.890 --> 00:24:56.691
- Reason i even bring it up tonight
- 00:24:56.691 --> 00:24:59.627
- Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus
- 00:24:59.627 --> 00:25:03.364
- The man, the gospel message is all about
- 00:25:03.364 --> 00:25:07.335
- Your understanding of the message about the man
- 00:25:07.335 --> 00:25:11.639
- Who will inform your methods of getting to know the man.
- 00:25:11.639 --> 00:25:44.839
- That this job doesn't work out for me.
- 00:25:45.673 --> 00:25:48.076
- What if i move my life by faith and it all just
- 00:25:48.076 --> 00:25:51.980
- Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
- 00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:54.716
- What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
- 00:25:54.716 --> 00:25:57.652
- But i would rather move by faith
- 00:25:57.652 --> 00:25:59.454
- And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
- 00:25:59.454 --> 00:26:03.324
- And i ended up exactly where i needed to be.
- 00:26:03.324 --> 00:26:36.057
- You know what?
- 00:26:36.391 --> 00:26:36.824

- Pentecost sunday,
- 00:26:38.459 --> 00:26:41.629
- Pentecost sunday.
- 00:26:42.063 --> 00:26:47.001
- You better
- 00:26:47.301 --> 00:26:48.536
- Not ask the holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
- 00:26:48.536 --> 00:26:51.406
- I came here to remind you
- 00:26:51.973 --> 00:26:53.741
