  • I am so happy to have my good friend,
  • 00:00:56.932 --> 00:00:59.468
  • Mark hankins here with me.
  • 00:00:59.468 --> 00:01:00.870

  • Glory to god. - good friends.
  • 00:01:04.106 --> 00:01:06.375
  • - you know, receiving revelation from you
  • 00:01:06.375 --> 00:01:08.744
  • For over 40 years really has transformed my life
  • 00:01:08.744 --> 00:01:11.947
  • In a number of areas, specifically in the financial realm,
  • 00:01:11.947 --> 00:01:16.285
  • But also in the area of going where god wants you to go.
  • 00:01:16.285 --> 00:01:20.723
  • And doing what god wants you to do.
  • 00:01:20.723 --> 00:01:22.892
  • And you know, years ago i was at brother beerman's
  • 00:01:22.892 --> 00:01:26.896
  • Over in burlington, colorado.
  • 00:01:26.896 --> 00:01:28.564
  • And you were ministering there when i was pastoring
  • 00:01:28.564 --> 00:01:30.466
  • In kit carson.
  • 00:01:30.466 --> 00:01:31.734
  • This would've been before the year 2000.
  • 00:01:31.734 --> 00:01:33.736
  • And you shared on job 23 verse 14.
  • 00:01:33.736 --> 00:01:36.906
  • - i like that. - and i started
  • 00:01:36.906 --> 00:01:39.041
  • Praying that scripture. - it's amazing.
  • 00:01:39.041 --> 00:01:41.010
  • - and i'm telling you that - wow.
  • 00:01:41.010 --> 00:01:42.511
  • - he performs the things appointed for me
  • 00:01:42.511 --> 00:01:45.314
  • And many such things are with you.
  • 00:01:45.314 --> 00:01:47.383
  • And you talk about doors closing and doors opening.
  • 00:01:47.383 --> 00:01:51.387
  • - he performs the thing appointed for me.
  • 00:01:51.387 --> 00:01:55.424
  • So that means i'm not in competition with anybody else.
  • 00:01:55.424 --> 00:01:58.561
  • He performs what's appointed for me.
  • 00:01:58.561 --> 00:02:01.096
  • - amen. - and many such things
  • 00:02:01.096 --> 00:02:02.565
  • Are with him.
  • 00:02:02.565 --> 00:02:03.499
  • - you know, i've had doors shut.
  • 00:02:03.499 --> 00:02:05.301
  • And sometimes it's frustrating
  • 00:02:05.301 --> 00:02:08.137
  • And you think, well, what did i do?
  • 00:02:08.137 --> 00:02:09.605
  • And you feel like somebody rejected you,
  • 00:02:09.605 --> 00:02:11.340
  • But it's actually god.
  • 00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:12.675
  • - yeah.
  • 00:02:12.675 --> 00:02:13.642
  • He's got new things for you.
  • 00:02:13.642 --> 00:02:15.411
  • - to a brand new place in my thinking.
  • 00:02:15.411 --> 00:02:17.479
  • And ultimately that has been some
  • 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.582
  • Of the best thing that ever happened to me.
  • 00:02:19.582 --> 00:02:21.450
  • - yeah. - is some doors have closed.
  • 00:02:21.450 --> 00:02:23.152
  • - yeah. - and god said, listen,
  • 00:02:23.152 --> 00:02:24.587
  • I want to spread you around.
  • 00:02:24.587 --> 00:02:26.288
  • - yeah. - i want to share
  • 00:02:26.288 --> 00:02:27.223
  • Your gift with more people.
  • 00:02:27.223 --> 00:02:30.025
  • And we've had greater increase
  • 00:02:30.659 --> 00:02:32.161
  • And greater influence than ever before.
  • 00:02:32.161 --> 00:02:34.463
  • - well, the word, i think psalms 119, 130 i think
  • 00:02:34.463 --> 00:02:40.369
  • Says, the entrance of thy word gives light
  • 00:02:41.270 --> 00:02:45.174
  • And gives understanding into the simple.
  • 00:02:45.174 --> 00:02:47.876
  • The moment the word comes, light is there.
  • 00:02:47.876 --> 00:02:52.214
  • - right. - so you're not in darkness.
  • 00:02:52.214 --> 00:02:54.083
  • - right. - you walk in that light
  • 00:02:54.083 --> 00:02:55.884
  • And the moment the light is there, faith is there.
  • 00:02:55.884 --> 00:02:59.188
  • Which means now you can do everything
  • 00:02:59.188 --> 00:03:01.056
  • God's called you to do.
  • 00:03:01.056 --> 00:03:02.491
  • When that word's in your mouth and that confidence.
  • 00:03:02.491 --> 00:03:05.227
  • He performs the thing appointed.
  • 00:03:05.227 --> 00:03:07.263
  • I'm not the performer, i'm the believer.
  • 00:03:07.263 --> 00:03:10.266
  • He's the performer.
  • 00:03:10.266 --> 00:03:12.234
  • - he will hasten his word to perform.
  • 00:03:12.234 --> 00:03:15.070
  • Jeremiah says that.
  • 00:03:15.070 --> 00:03:16.772
  • So thank god i'm so happy you're here.
  • 00:03:16.772 --> 00:03:18.941
  • We're talking today about the blessing of the lord.
  • 00:03:18.941 --> 00:03:21.410
  • And we shared the scripture yesterday in proverbs chapter 13
  • 00:03:21.410 --> 00:03:26.749
  • About the blessing of the lord makes rich.
  • 00:03:27.650 --> 00:03:29.918
  • That's proverbs 10:22, actually.
  • 00:03:29.918 --> 00:03:32.054
  • And he adds no sorrow to it.
  • 00:03:32.054 --> 00:03:35.190
  • And we're gonna move into deuteronomy 28.
  • 00:03:35.190 --> 00:03:38.294
  • It's talking about the covenant of blessing.
  • 00:03:38.294 --> 00:03:40.763
  • We have a covenant of blessing.
  • 00:03:40.763 --> 00:03:42.298
  • - yeah. - and this deuteronomy 28
  • 00:03:42.298 --> 00:03:46.001
  • Verse one says, it will come
  • 00:03:46.001 --> 00:03:47.803
  • To pass if you harken diligently under the voice of the lord
  • 00:03:47.803 --> 00:03:51.040
  • To observe and to do all his commands,
  • 00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:52.574
  • Which i command you this day,
  • 00:03:52.574 --> 00:03:54.376
  • The lord god will sit you on high
  • 00:03:54.376 --> 00:03:55.944
  • Above all nations of the earth.
  • 00:03:55.944 --> 00:03:57.813
  • Verse two says, and all these blessings
  • 00:03:57.813 --> 00:04:01.050
  • Shall come on you
  • 00:04:01.050 --> 00:04:02.318
  • And overtake you if you harken
  • 00:04:02.318 --> 00:04:04.586
  • To the voice of the lord thy god.
  • 00:04:04.586 --> 00:04:05.988
  • Now that sounds great.
  • 00:04:05.988 --> 00:04:07.756
  • The challenge is nobody except jesus
  • 00:04:07.756 --> 00:04:11.894
  • Has ever fulfilled perfect verse one.
  • 00:04:11.894 --> 00:04:15.097
  • - obedience. - right.
  • 00:04:15.097 --> 00:04:16.365
  • So jesus is the condition of the covenant.
  • 00:04:16.365 --> 00:04:19.935
  • - yeah. - and so, you know,
  • 00:04:19.935 --> 00:04:22.504
  • He talks about all these blessings coming
  • 00:04:22.504 --> 00:04:24.640
  • On us and overtaking us.
  • 00:04:24.640 --> 00:04:25.908
  • I remember years ago, i had a man move to town.
  • 00:04:25.908 --> 00:04:28.711
  • Actually, he pastors a great church in blanco, texas.
  • 00:04:28.711 --> 00:04:32.181
  • His name is jd link, his wife's name is christa.
  • 00:04:32.181 --> 00:04:35.284
  • But he came to church and him and his wife
  • 00:04:35.284 --> 00:04:37.152
  • And their three kids at that time were living in a suburban,
  • 00:04:37.152 --> 00:04:40.889
  • Didn't even have a job.
  • 00:04:40.889 --> 00:04:42.891
  • And we started believing with him.
  • 00:04:42.891 --> 00:04:44.560
  • And he got not one job, but he got two jobs.
  • 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.795
  • He's going to bible school.
  • 00:04:46.795 --> 00:04:48.330
  • And you know, the last year he was only here two years.
  • 00:04:48.330 --> 00:04:50.399
  • And then he went and started this church.
  • 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:51.900
  • And god blessed him i mean, a little bit.
  • 00:04:51.900 --> 00:04:53.669
  • He had a building
  • 00:04:53.669 --> 00:04:55.537
  • And built it out, had it completely paid for.
  • 00:04:55.537 --> 00:04:57.806
  • It was miraculous in blanco, texas, i'm telling you.
  • 00:04:57.806 --> 00:05:00.309
  • Miraculous.
  • 00:05:00.309 --> 00:05:01.243
  • But the second year he was here
  • 00:05:01.243 --> 00:05:02.644
  • And bible school realized he was homeless,
  • 00:05:02.644 --> 00:05:04.947
  • Living out of the back of a suburban.
  • 00:05:04.947 --> 00:05:07.182
  • And we started believing god, the second year he was here,
  • 00:05:07.182 --> 00:05:09.284
  • He gave the church $5,000.
  • 00:05:09.284 --> 00:05:11.920
  • Which was amazing.
  • 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:12.921
  • - he started giving. - right.
  • 00:05:12.921 --> 00:05:14.423
  • It was amazing what happened to him and the revelation.
  • 00:05:14.423 --> 00:05:17.726
  • But i remember i'd let him take up my offerings.
  • 00:05:17.726 --> 00:05:20.195
  • I remember jd saying one day, he said,
  • 00:05:20.195 --> 00:05:24.166
  • The blessing of the lord will come on you
  • 00:05:25.067 --> 00:05:26.969
  • And overtake you like a linebacker
  • 00:05:26.969 --> 00:05:29.271
  • Overtaking a quarterback.
  • 00:05:29.271 --> 00:05:31.173
  • I thought, boom, man, that's powerful.
  • 00:05:31.173 --> 00:05:34.176
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:05:34.510 --> 00:05:35.644
  • And you know what?
  • 00:05:35.644 --> 00:05:36.979
  • I got a picture of the blessing of the lord.
  • 00:05:36.979 --> 00:05:39.148
  • We don't have to chase the blessing.
  • 00:05:39.148 --> 00:05:40.449
  • - it'll chase you down. - it'll chase us down
  • 00:05:40.449 --> 00:05:42.484
  • And overtake us. - there you go.
  • 00:05:42.484 --> 00:05:44.386
  • - but jesus is the condition.
  • 00:05:45.020 --> 00:05:46.355
  • So we're gonna jump over
  • 00:05:46.355 --> 00:05:47.756
  • Before we share more here.
  • 00:05:47.756 --> 00:05:50.259
  • - because he goes into all the curses
  • 00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:51.727
  • If you don't obey.
  • 00:05:51.727 --> 00:05:53.195
  • - right, now i read, right,
  • 00:05:53.195 --> 00:05:56.131
  • The blessings and i read the curses.
  • 00:05:56.131 --> 00:05:59.234
  • So there's 14 verses of blessing.
  • 00:06:00.002 --> 00:06:02.571
  • And then there's 50, what is it?
  • 00:06:02.571 --> 00:06:05.808
  • 54 verses of curses.
  • 00:06:05.808 --> 00:06:08.310
  • 68 verses.
  • 00:06:08.310 --> 00:06:09.378
  • So i read 'em all.
  • 00:06:09.378 --> 00:06:11.113
  • Now i read 'em
  • 00:06:11.113 --> 00:06:12.314
  • Because when we go to galatians 3:13.
  • 00:06:12.314 --> 00:06:14.616
  • Galatians 3:13.
  • 00:06:14.616 --> 00:06:16.485
  • Paul is writing about the abrahamic covenant.
  • 00:06:16.485 --> 00:06:19.688
  • And he says, christ has redeemed us from the curse
  • 00:06:19.688 --> 00:06:22.424
  • Of the law being made a curse for us.
  • 00:06:22.424 --> 00:06:25.961
  • - for it is written.
  • 00:06:26.428 --> 00:06:27.663
  • - for it is written cursed is everyone
  • 00:06:27.663 --> 00:06:29.498
  • Who hangs on a tree.
  • 00:06:29.498 --> 00:06:30.766
  • - talking about the christ redeeming us.
  • 00:06:30.766 --> 00:06:33.235
  • - then he says in verse 14, so that the blessing
  • 00:06:33.235 --> 00:06:37.372
  • Of abraham might come on the gentiles through jesus christ.
  • 00:06:37.372 --> 00:06:41.043
  • - even the promise of the holy spirit.
  • 00:06:41.043 --> 00:06:42.945
  • - yeah, that we might receive the promise of the spirit.
  • 00:06:42.945 --> 00:06:46.448
  • - yeah. - through faith.
  • 00:06:46.448 --> 00:06:47.649
  • - there you go. - so the blessing,
  • 00:06:47.649 --> 00:06:49.685
  • Really the blessing is
  • 00:06:49.685 --> 00:06:51.553
  • That you receive the spirit because nobody--
  • 00:06:51.553 --> 00:06:53.889
  • - well, here's the way i like to say it.
  • 00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:56.058
  • - okay. - i like to say,
  • 00:06:56.058 --> 00:06:57.359
  • When you are filled with the holy spirit,
  • 00:06:57.359 --> 00:06:59.595
  • You receive the holy spirit.
  • 00:06:59.595 --> 00:07:02.097
  • The holy spirit takes all of your receiving from god
  • 00:07:02.097 --> 00:07:06.401
  • To a whole new dimension.
  • 00:07:06.401 --> 00:07:08.070
  • - oh, he does. - in other words,
  • 00:07:08.070 --> 00:07:10.239
  • He's not just in there.
  • 00:07:10.239 --> 00:07:11.607
  • The holy spirit's in there.
  • 00:07:11.607 --> 00:07:12.875
  • He's the one that enforces your redemption
  • 00:07:12.875 --> 00:07:16.478
  • From the curse and he's the one that even the anointing
  • 00:07:16.478 --> 00:07:21.016
  • Of the holy spirit brings blessing on your life.
  • 00:07:21.016 --> 00:07:24.520
  • Spirit, soul, body, family, finances, the anointing
  • 00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:28.156
  • Of the holy spirit, the presence of the holy spirit.
  • 00:07:28.156 --> 00:07:30.726
  • So the holy spirit is majorly involved
  • 00:07:30.726 --> 00:07:35.163
  • In that redemption from the curse
  • 00:07:35.163 --> 00:07:37.866
  • And the blessing of the lord activated in your life
  • 00:07:37.866 --> 00:07:42.070
  • Through faith. - that is awesome.
  • 00:07:42.070 --> 00:07:43.605
  • - thank god for the holy spirit.
  • 00:07:43.605 --> 00:07:44.907
  • - i'm telling you, if i wouldn't have got
  • 00:07:44.907 --> 00:07:45.841
  • Baptized in the holy spirit,
  • 00:07:45.841 --> 00:07:47.075
  • I'm talking about a new level, right?
  • 00:07:47.075 --> 00:07:49.044
  • Because when you believe on jesus
  • 00:07:49.044 --> 00:07:50.646
  • And you're born again, you have the spirit of christ in you.
  • 00:07:50.646 --> 00:07:53.982
  • But when you get baptized in the holy spirit,
  • 00:07:53.982 --> 00:07:56.852
  • You got a river flowing outta you.
  • 00:07:56.852 --> 00:07:59.254
  • And i would've never,
  • 00:07:59.755 --> 00:08:02.057
  • If i didn't receive the baptism of the holy spirit,
  • 00:08:02.057 --> 00:08:05.928
  • I would've been in southeast colorado farming
  • 00:08:05.928 --> 00:08:09.831
  • And feeding cattle and raising horses.
  • 00:08:09.831 --> 00:08:13.001
  • But when i got baptized, the moment i was baptized
  • 00:08:13.001 --> 00:08:15.837
  • In the holy spirit.
  • 00:08:15.837 --> 00:08:17.205
  • I was baptized in the holy spirit in a bible study.
  • 00:08:17.205 --> 00:08:18.774
  • Of andrew wommack's when almost
  • 00:08:18.774 --> 00:08:20.042
  • Nobody knew who andrew wommack was.
  • 00:08:20.042 --> 00:08:22.544
  • And you know, but the moment i was baptized
  • 00:08:22.544 --> 00:08:24.212
  • In the holy spirit, i knew
  • 00:08:24.212 --> 00:08:26.315
  • That i'm gonna spend my life preaching the gospel.
  • 00:08:26.315 --> 00:08:29.117
  • I couldn't have told you what different aspects.
  • 00:08:29.117 --> 00:08:31.853
  • I knew it.
  • 00:08:31.853 --> 00:08:33.288
  • - dan higgins said something i think is phenomenal
  • 00:08:33.288 --> 00:08:34.690
  • 'cause he taught on faith much, taught us faith.
  • 00:08:34.690 --> 00:08:37.392
  • So he said, after 65 years of ministry,
  • 00:08:37.392 --> 00:08:41.229
  • The greatest blessings that have ever happened to me,
  • 00:08:41.229 --> 00:08:46.201
  • And the greatest miracles
  • 00:08:46.201 --> 00:08:48.236
  • That have ever happened in my life have happened
  • 00:08:48.236 --> 00:08:51.506
  • After an extended period of time
  • 00:08:51.506 --> 00:08:54.076
  • Of praying in the holy spirit
  • 00:08:54.076 --> 00:08:55.911
  • Or being filled with the holy spirit.
  • 00:08:55.911 --> 00:08:58.146
  • So the holy spirit takes what christ has done for us
  • 00:08:58.146 --> 00:09:02.884
  • And translates it into personal victory.
  • 00:09:02.884 --> 00:09:06.722
  • Without the help of the holy spirit,
  • 00:09:06.722 --> 00:09:08.390
  • Your revelation knowledge is limited,
  • 00:09:08.390 --> 00:09:10.926
  • Then even your authority is limited.
  • 00:09:10.926 --> 00:09:13.362
  • And so the holy spirit, when he moves in, wow.
  • 00:09:13.362 --> 00:09:17.766
  • He opens up the word, the blessing
  • 00:09:17.766 --> 00:09:20.102
  • Of the lord comes from being filled with,
  • 00:09:20.102 --> 00:09:22.638
  • Yielded to the holy spirit.
  • 00:09:22.638 --> 00:09:24.206
  • - yes, amen.
  • 00:09:24.206 --> 00:09:25.440
  • You know, this is really interesting.
  • 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:26.975
  • But in john 14, 15 and 16,
  • 00:09:26.975 --> 00:09:30.479
  • Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure.
  • 00:09:30.479 --> 00:09:34.149
  • And he primarily taught about two things.
  • 00:09:34.149 --> 00:09:37.686
  • He taught about our authority in christ, in his name,
  • 00:09:37.686 --> 00:09:41.990
  • And he taught about the coming holy spirit.
  • 00:09:41.990 --> 00:09:45.961
  • And really we see it as, most of it
  • 00:09:45.961 --> 00:09:48.597
  • As the baptism of the holy spirit.
  • 00:09:48.597 --> 00:09:50.799
  • The ministry of the holy spirit.
  • 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.334
  • Inevitably, the two things
  • 00:09:52.334 --> 00:09:55.404
  • That most churches leave out of their teaching
  • 00:09:55.404 --> 00:09:59.641
  • Is our authority in christ.
  • 00:09:59.641 --> 00:10:02.611
  • And the blessing of the baptism of the holy spirit.
  • 00:10:02.611 --> 00:10:06.381
  • But those two things have revolutionized my life.
  • 00:10:06.381 --> 00:10:10.719
  • - when you're filled with the holy spirit,
  • 00:10:10.719 --> 00:10:12.721
  • He literally takes the victim out of you
  • 00:10:12.721 --> 00:10:16.124
  • And he takes the whine out of you.
  • 00:10:16.124 --> 00:10:19.828
  • And you get filled with the revelation
  • 00:10:19.828 --> 00:10:21.863
  • Of who you are in christ.
  • 00:10:21.863 --> 00:10:23.131
  • And what christ has done for you.
  • 00:10:23.131 --> 00:10:25.467
  • So the blessing, one of the most phenomenal things
  • 00:10:25.467 --> 00:10:27.836
  • Happened to me when i was a pastor.
  • 00:10:27.836 --> 00:10:30.305
  • Now we travel all around the world,
  • 00:10:30.305 --> 00:10:31.940
  • But when i was a pastor, i pastored for like 25 years
  • 00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:36.044
  • And then i've been traveling 25 years.
  • 00:10:36.044 --> 00:10:39.314
  • But when i was pastoring,
  • 00:10:39.881 --> 00:10:41.249
  • I did a series on the blessing of the lord.
  • 00:10:41.249 --> 00:10:44.352
  • - amen. - and i came across
  • 00:10:44.352 --> 00:10:46.388
  • The word blest, b-l-e-s-t.
  • 00:10:46.388 --> 00:10:51.159
  • So i thought blest, the blessing.
  • 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.628
  • So i looked up the word blest in this giant dictionary.
  • 00:10:53.628 --> 00:10:56.832
  • And it's got these definitions of blest.
  • 00:10:56.832 --> 00:10:59.935
  • But one of the definitions said from blood, in other words,
  • 00:10:59.935 --> 00:11:04.740
  • The original word that was used by the priest,
  • 00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:07.809
  • Blest came from the root word for blood that meant
  • 00:11:07.809 --> 00:11:11.513
  • After the blood was shed on the day of atonement.
  • 00:11:11.513 --> 00:11:15.684
  • The priest would always come out and pronounce a blessing.
  • 00:11:15.684 --> 00:11:19.488
  • So i like to say revelation of what the blood
  • 00:11:19.488 --> 00:11:23.158
  • Of jesus has done for us.
  • 00:11:23.158 --> 00:11:24.860
  • What it does in us brings us into a consciousness
  • 00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:28.663
  • That we are blessed coming in, blessed going out,
  • 00:11:28.663 --> 00:11:32.334
  • We're the head and not the tail.
  • 00:11:32.334 --> 00:11:34.102
  • We're blessed spiritually, mentally, physically,
  • 00:11:34.102 --> 00:11:36.404
  • Financially, that blessing.
  • 00:11:36.404 --> 00:11:38.306
  • So i could say we are blood blessed.
  • 00:11:38.306 --> 00:11:41.977
  • - friend, i'm so glad that you've been with us
  • 00:11:42.911 --> 00:11:44.880
  • And watching the broadcast today,
  • 00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:46.615
  • We've been teaching about the blessing of the lord.
  • 00:11:46.615 --> 00:11:49.684
  • You know, when you understand what the scripture says,
  • 00:11:49.684 --> 00:11:52.521
  • You'll know that god wants
  • 00:11:52.521 --> 00:11:54.489
  • To bless you even more than you want to be blessed.
  • 00:11:54.489 --> 00:11:59.194
  • And in these teachings, on the blessing of the lord
  • 00:11:59.194 --> 00:12:02.197
  • That i taught live in my church, i believe
  • 00:12:02.197 --> 00:12:06.234
  • That you'll receive an anointing to prosper.
  • 00:12:06.234 --> 00:12:09.938
  • You know, and it talks about this in hebrews
  • 00:12:10.872 --> 00:12:13.441
  • Comparing the covenant.
  • 00:12:13.441 --> 00:12:14.709
  • Hebrews chapter nine is talking about, you know,
  • 00:12:14.709 --> 00:12:18.580
  • What the blood did for us.
  • 00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:20.749
  • And so he's talking about redemption
  • 00:12:20.749 --> 00:12:22.484
  • Through the blood of jesus.
  • 00:12:22.484 --> 00:12:24.085
  • But in verse 22, well i might be in the wrong verse,
  • 00:12:24.085 --> 00:12:27.956
  • But without the shedding of blood, he said,
  • 00:12:27.956 --> 00:12:30.192
  • There is no remission of sin.
  • 00:12:30.192 --> 00:12:32.727
  • But he goes on and said, moses, when he went in
  • 00:12:32.727 --> 00:12:35.831
  • And they did the sacrifice, he took the blood
  • 00:12:35.831 --> 00:12:38.567
  • And he sprinkled the book.
  • 00:12:38.567 --> 00:12:40.468
  • And then he sprinkled the people
  • 00:12:40.468 --> 00:12:42.404
  • And he said, by this blood,
  • 00:12:42.404 --> 00:12:44.539
  • God has enjoined this covenant to you.
  • 00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:48.210
  • So these covenant promises and blessings are joined to us
  • 00:12:48.210 --> 00:12:53.481
  • By the blood.
  • 00:12:53.849 --> 00:12:55.250
  • And he's talking about this was a type in his shadow
  • 00:12:55.250 --> 00:12:57.552
  • Of the blood of jesus.
  • 00:12:57.552 --> 00:12:59.187
  • And now you're saying, we're blood blessed through jesus.
  • 00:12:59.187 --> 00:13:02.357
  • - so jesus paid a high price for our blessing
  • 00:13:02.357 --> 00:13:06.962
  • To be redeemed from the curse of the law.
  • 00:13:06.962 --> 00:13:10.365
  • Which included sickness.
  • 00:13:10.365 --> 00:13:12.234
  • - yes. - poverty, spiritual death.
  • 00:13:12.234 --> 00:13:14.903
  • But all the different kinds of curses
  • 00:13:14.903 --> 00:13:17.105
  • That everyone, mental, physical, every kind of curse.
  • 00:13:17.105 --> 00:13:19.574
  • - so we're gonna read one more verse here in galatians
  • 00:13:19.574 --> 00:13:21.843
  • Chapter three, but verse 29 says this,
  • 00:13:21.843 --> 00:13:24.212
  • It's talking about faith in christ
  • 00:13:24.212 --> 00:13:25.847
  • That you receive these things, the holy spirit
  • 00:13:25.847 --> 00:13:28.216
  • And all the good things of god.
  • 00:13:28.216 --> 00:13:29.684
  • He's talking about all the things you receive
  • 00:13:29.684 --> 00:13:31.319
  • In galatians three through faith in jesus
  • 00:13:31.319 --> 00:13:33.588
  • And what he did at the cross.
  • 00:13:33.588 --> 00:13:35.156
  • But he says in verse 29, if you be christ,
  • 00:13:35.156 --> 00:13:38.159
  • Then you're abraham's seed and heirs
  • 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.563
  • According to the promise.
  • 00:13:41.563 --> 00:13:42.530
  • So we go back here
  • 00:13:42.530 --> 00:13:44.299
  • And we see right here in deuteronomy 28
  • 00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:46.534
  • That these promises are ours.
  • 00:13:46.534 --> 00:13:48.770
  • And there's 14 verses.
  • 00:13:48.770 --> 00:13:50.171
  • The first 14 verses are the blessings.
  • 00:13:50.171 --> 00:13:53.041
  • And then the last 54 verses are the curse.
  • 00:13:53.041 --> 00:13:57.212
  • Now i read because it says christ has redeemed me,
  • 00:13:57.212 --> 00:14:00.815
  • Purchased me out of the curse being made a curse for me.
  • 00:14:00.815 --> 00:14:03.952
  • So i read about these curses
  • 00:14:03.952 --> 00:14:05.854
  • Of sickness, poverty, spiritual.
  • 00:14:05.854 --> 00:14:08.556
  • - so many. - right.
  • 00:14:08.556 --> 00:14:09.691
  • Spiritual death and slavery.
  • 00:14:09.691 --> 00:14:12.527
  • They're really in this order.
  • 00:14:12.527 --> 00:14:14.296
  • Sickness, poverty, slavery.
  • 00:14:14.296 --> 00:14:18.667
  • And then death, physical death.
  • 00:14:19.301 --> 00:14:22.203
  • That's the curse in deuteronomy 28.
  • 00:14:22.203 --> 00:14:24.739
  • He said, you're gonna be sick and you're gonna be poor.
  • 00:14:24.739 --> 00:14:28.176
  • That the heaven's gonna rain dirt on you till you go broke
  • 00:14:28.176 --> 00:14:31.146
  • And you become slaves and die.
  • 00:14:31.146 --> 00:14:34.082
  • I mean, it is terrible.
  • 00:14:34.082 --> 00:14:35.383
  • But jesus redeemed us from the curse.
  • 00:14:35.383 --> 00:14:38.019
  • So he turned that whole thing around
  • 00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:39.955
  • And he redeemed us from sickness
  • 00:14:39.955 --> 00:14:42.190
  • And he took stripes on his back.
  • 00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:43.858
  • By his stripes we were healed, from poverty, he became poor
  • 00:14:43.858 --> 00:14:47.462
  • That we might be rich.
  • 00:14:47.462 --> 00:14:48.997
  • 2 corinthians 8:9. - from spiritual death.
  • 00:14:48.997 --> 00:14:51.066
  • - yeah.
  • 00:14:51.066 --> 00:14:52.400
  • From from slavery to sin.
  • 00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:53.535
  • We're no longer slaves, but we're sons.
  • 00:14:53.535 --> 00:14:55.804
  • And from spiritual death,
  • 00:14:55.804 --> 00:14:57.973
  • The last enemy be destroyed when he comes again
  • 00:14:57.973 --> 00:15:00.542
  • Is the enemy of physical death.
  • 00:15:00.542 --> 00:15:01.943
  • So we're gonna read through these blessings now.
  • 00:15:01.943 --> 00:15:03.511
  • We started in deuteronomy 28:2 said,
  • 00:15:03.511 --> 00:15:06.214
  • All these blessings will come on you
  • 00:15:06.214 --> 00:15:07.682
  • And overtake you if you harken the voice.
  • 00:15:07.682 --> 00:15:09.384
  • He said, you'll be blessed in the city,
  • 00:15:09.384 --> 00:15:11.920
  • Blessed in the field.
  • 00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:13.188
  • Blessed shall be the fruit of your body.
  • 00:15:13.188 --> 00:15:15.023
  • My children are blessed.
  • 00:15:15.023 --> 00:15:16.725
  • - the children, yeah. - the fruit of your ground,
  • 00:15:16.725 --> 00:15:18.226
  • My fields are blessed.
  • 00:15:18.226 --> 00:15:19.728
  • The fruit of my cattle, the increase of my livestock.
  • 00:15:19.728 --> 00:15:23.231
  • Or i like to say my kind of investments.
  • 00:15:23.231 --> 00:15:27.635
  • Right?
  • 00:15:27.869 --> 00:15:29.170
  • And he says, and the flocks of your sheep.
  • 00:15:29.170 --> 00:15:31.406
  • I like to say my church is blessed.
  • 00:15:31.406 --> 00:15:33.074
  • My sleep are blessed.
  • 00:15:33.074 --> 00:15:34.442
  • So he says, you're gonna be blessed in your basket.
  • 00:15:34.442 --> 00:15:36.878
  • That's like your refrigerator
  • 00:15:36.878 --> 00:15:38.580
  • And in your storehouse, that's like your bank account.
  • 00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:41.750
  • You're gonna be blessed going in, blessed going out.
  • 00:15:41.750 --> 00:15:43.885
  • So you're blessed in the city and the field
  • 00:15:43.885 --> 00:15:45.153
  • Coming in and going out, that's all the time.
  • 00:15:45.153 --> 00:15:46.388
  • - wow. - then he says this,
  • 00:15:46.388 --> 00:15:48.256
  • The lord will cause your enemies that rise up against you
  • 00:15:48.256 --> 00:15:50.825
  • To be smitten before your face.
  • 00:15:50.825 --> 00:15:52.494
  • They will come out against you one way
  • 00:15:52.494 --> 00:15:54.262
  • And run seven ways.
  • 00:15:54.262 --> 00:15:55.730
  • - wow. - then he says this,
  • 00:15:55.730 --> 00:15:56.998
  • I love this teaching on the commanded blessing.
  • 00:15:56.998 --> 00:15:58.933
  • I'll talk more about it later this week.
  • 00:15:58.933 --> 00:16:01.169
  • But he says, the lord will command the blessing on you
  • 00:16:01.169 --> 00:16:03.972
  • In your storehouses.
  • 00:16:03.972 --> 00:16:05.540
  • That means if you really want the blessing
  • 00:16:05.540 --> 00:16:07.042
  • Of the lord, you talked about how the blessing
  • 00:16:07.042 --> 00:16:09.577
  • Of the lord will bring increase and many heirs
  • 00:16:09.577 --> 00:16:11.679
  • In the holy spirit's work bring increase.
  • 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.215
  • So if you really want this promise,
  • 00:16:14.215 --> 00:16:16.217
  • You gotta get some storehouses.
  • 00:16:16.217 --> 00:16:18.053
  • And in all that you set your hand unto
  • 00:16:18.053 --> 00:16:21.456
  • And he will bless you in the land which the lord gave you.
  • 00:16:21.456 --> 00:16:25.093
  • He will establish you a holy people
  • 00:16:25.093 --> 00:16:26.895
  • To himself as he swore to you.
  • 00:16:26.895 --> 00:16:28.463
  • If you keep his commandments
  • 00:16:28.463 --> 00:16:29.731
  • And walk in his ways, all of the people
  • 00:16:29.731 --> 00:16:32.067
  • Of the earth shall see that you're called by the name
  • 00:16:32.067 --> 00:16:35.870
  • Of the lord and stand in awe of you.
  • 00:16:35.870 --> 00:16:38.373
  • And the lord will make you plenty of goods.
  • 00:16:38.373 --> 00:16:40.675
  • You're gonna have plenty.
  • 00:16:40.675 --> 00:16:41.609
  • The modern english version.
  • 00:16:41.609 --> 00:16:42.710
  • I like that version.
  • 00:16:42.710 --> 00:16:44.279
  • Queen elizabeth had it done.
  • 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:45.447
  • But it says you will overflow
  • 00:16:45.447 --> 00:16:47.148
  • In prosperity, i like that.
  • 00:16:47.148 --> 00:16:49.017
  • You will overflow in prosperity.
  • 00:16:49.017 --> 00:16:51.686
  • In the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle,
  • 00:16:51.686 --> 00:16:53.922
  • In the fruit of your ground, in the land.
  • 00:16:53.922 --> 00:16:55.490
  • Which the lord swear to give you the lord.
  • 00:16:55.490 --> 00:16:58.026
  • Look at this in verse 12.
  • 00:16:58.026 --> 00:16:59.694
  • Like you say, it's physical, it's financial.
  • 00:16:59.694 --> 00:17:02.964
  • You know, all these, all these heirs,
  • 00:17:02.964 --> 00:17:05.133
  • The lord will open unto you his good treasure,
  • 00:17:05.133 --> 00:17:08.269
  • The heaven to give rain under your land in his season
  • 00:17:08.269 --> 00:17:10.939
  • To bless all the work of your hand.
  • 00:17:10.939 --> 00:17:13.441
  • See, it's not a curse to work.
  • 00:17:13.441 --> 00:17:15.877
  • It's a curse to work and have it come to poverty.
  • 00:17:15.877 --> 00:17:19.314
  • - not be blessed. - right.
  • 00:17:19.948 --> 00:17:21.216
  • And not be blessed.
  • 00:17:21.216 --> 00:17:22.750
  • But he says the lord will bless all the work of your hands.
  • 00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:24.586
  • - your job is blessed. - my son aaron
  • 00:17:24.586 --> 00:17:26.454
  • Has a watch selling business.
  • 00:17:26.454 --> 00:17:27.655
  • Just sold a watch for you.
  • 00:17:27.655 --> 00:17:28.623
  • He said he got yours, man.
  • 00:17:28.623 --> 00:17:30.825
  • You got that anointing working
  • 00:17:30.825 --> 00:17:32.260
  • 'cause he has to keep some of these watches
  • 00:17:32.260 --> 00:17:34.062
  • For years before they sell.
  • 00:17:34.062 --> 00:17:35.563
  • Now some of 'em may sell the next week.
  • 00:17:35.563 --> 00:17:37.632
  • He got yours and he sold it like in a week.
  • 00:17:37.632 --> 00:17:40.135
  • And he sold it like in a week.
  • 00:17:40.768 --> 00:17:42.470
  • But get this, i gotta tell this testimony
  • 00:17:42.470 --> 00:17:45.607
  • Because he sold that for you.
  • 00:17:45.607 --> 00:17:47.308
  • And aaron loves you and aaron and heather.
  • 00:17:47.308 --> 00:17:49.110
  • They love to sow into your ministry.
  • 00:17:49.110 --> 00:17:51.179
  • They love you and what you're doing.
  • 00:17:51.179 --> 00:17:53.281
  • But he wears these watches on his hand.
  • 00:17:53.281 --> 00:17:56.718
  • And jesse duplantis gave me that watch.
  • 00:17:56.718 --> 00:17:58.186
  • It's a beautiful watch.
  • 00:17:58.186 --> 00:17:59.587
  • And aaron gave me the band.
  • 00:17:59.587 --> 00:18:01.789
  • So it's a really nice band.
  • 00:18:01.789 --> 00:18:03.658
  • He just gave me that for my birthday.
  • 00:18:03.658 --> 00:18:05.426
  • But anyway, aaron says whatever my hand is touched.
  • 00:18:05.426 --> 00:18:10.064
  • So if he has a watch that he needs to sell,
  • 00:18:10.064 --> 00:18:11.933
  • He'll wear it for a while.
  • 00:18:11.933 --> 00:18:13.635
  • And while he's got it on, somebody will buy it.
  • 00:18:13.635 --> 00:18:15.737
  • - he'll sell it.
  • 00:18:15.737 --> 00:18:16.704
  • - and then he ships it off.
  • 00:18:16.704 --> 00:18:18.072
  • He has this business.
  • 00:18:18.072 --> 00:18:19.841
  • But he only sold one watch, the first part of may.
  • 00:18:19.841 --> 00:18:23.745
  • But then he got this word
  • 00:18:24.312 --> 00:18:26.314
  • About how god speeds it up.
  • 00:18:26.314 --> 00:18:30.418
  • It's in amos chapter nine.
  • 00:18:30.418 --> 00:18:32.153
  • And you know how the reaper is gonna overtake the sower.
  • 00:18:33.288 --> 00:18:36.457
  • And he talks about how in the last days
  • 00:18:36.457 --> 00:18:39.360
  • There's gonna be, the process is gonna speed up.
  • 00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:42.297
  • - wow. - but he only sold one watch
  • 00:18:42.297 --> 00:18:45.166
  • And then he sold your watch
  • 00:18:45.166 --> 00:18:46.901
  • And he was going on vacation the very end of may
  • 00:18:46.901 --> 00:18:49.671
  • Right before memorial day.
  • 00:18:49.671 --> 00:18:51.406
  • So he dropped that watch your watch off
  • 00:18:51.406 --> 00:18:54.275
  • On the way to the airport.
  • 00:18:54.275 --> 00:18:55.510
  • He shipped it to the buyer.
  • 00:18:55.510 --> 00:18:57.779
  • And then him and his whole family, they flew to florida.
  • 00:18:57.779 --> 00:19:00.381
  • But while he was gone, he sold like 10 watches.
  • 00:19:00.381 --> 00:19:04.519
  • And he ended up selling 15 watches that month.
  • 00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:07.822
  • And it became the most prosperous month
  • 00:19:07.822 --> 00:19:13.094
  • That he ever had.
  • 00:19:13.528 --> 00:19:14.829
  • I was over there and he was facetiming me.
  • 00:19:14.829 --> 00:19:17.198
  • He works all the time.
  • 00:19:17.198 --> 00:19:18.299
  • He's on vacation.
  • 00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:19.801
  • And i was going through and he's making sure i shipped
  • 00:19:19.801 --> 00:19:21.669
  • The right one to the right person
  • 00:19:21.669 --> 00:19:23.071
  • And got all that right.
  • 00:19:23.071 --> 00:19:24.505
  • - he is blessed. - but he's blessed.
  • 00:19:24.505 --> 00:19:26.241
  • He has a covenant with god.
  • 00:19:26.241 --> 00:19:27.408
  • And he's got a revelation given.
  • 00:19:27.408 --> 00:19:29.844
  • - he's blessed, his mom is blessed.
  • 00:19:29.844 --> 00:19:30.745
  • - all my kids are blessed.
  • 00:19:30.745 --> 00:19:31.980
  • Listen, my son andrew, he's so blessed.
  • 00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:34.849
  • He's my middle son, but all my kids are blessed.
  • 00:19:34.849 --> 00:19:37.385
  • But see, they were raised with a blessed mentality.
  • 00:19:37.385 --> 00:19:40.288
  • So they think good, they all work good.
  • 00:19:40.288 --> 00:19:42.390
  • - they don't talk. - they're all givers.
  • 00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:44.459
  • They're all connected to a local church.
  • 00:19:44.459 --> 00:19:46.127
  • And they all got a good attitude.
  • 00:19:46.127 --> 00:19:47.829
  • And they all got a good work ethic.
  • 00:19:47.829 --> 00:19:49.964
  • They got good families and good children,
  • 00:19:49.964 --> 00:19:51.566
  • They're so blessed.
  • 00:19:51.566 --> 00:19:52.667
  • My son andrew just got a job.
  • 00:19:52.667 --> 00:19:54.135
  • He didn't apply for it.
  • 00:19:54.135 --> 00:19:55.536
  • They came after him and he makes more money
  • 00:19:55.536 --> 00:20:01.576
  • Than my entire staff of 20 people.
  • 00:20:02.343 --> 00:20:05.947
  • It's unreal.
  • 00:20:05.947 --> 00:20:07.248
  • I asked him, 'cause he called me asking
  • 00:20:07.248 --> 00:20:08.616
  • Should i take this job?
  • 00:20:08.616 --> 00:20:10.018
  • And i didn't ask him first thing how much it paid.
  • 00:20:10.018 --> 00:20:12.320
  • I said, you need, because he's got a very good job.
  • 00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:15.123
  • I said, you need to consider your time with your family.
  • 00:20:15.123 --> 00:20:18.026
  • You need to consider your freedom and then talk to mama.
  • 00:20:18.026 --> 00:20:21.329
  • Barbara hears god good.
  • 00:20:21.329 --> 00:20:22.730
  • Aaron really, like barbara hears god real good.
  • 00:20:22.730 --> 00:20:25.166
  • So she said, well, he needs to consider his creativity
  • 00:20:25.166 --> 00:20:29.637
  • And then he needs to be productive.
  • 00:20:29.637 --> 00:20:32.006
  • So he made the decision right after,
  • 00:20:32.774 --> 00:20:35.310
  • But not, it wasn't about the money.
  • 00:20:35.310 --> 00:20:37.779
  • But he wanted to obey god in this.
  • 00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:39.580
  • And he was asking me, i said, so you consider those things
  • 00:20:39.580 --> 00:20:41.983
  • And the taxes, when i told him the taxes, he said, yeah,
  • 00:20:41.983 --> 00:20:44.118
  • It's gonna be more that 'cause the way it's structured.
  • 00:20:44.118 --> 00:20:47.488
  • But i asked him, is it gonna pay 300,000 a year or 500,000?
  • 00:20:48.656 --> 00:20:52.927
  • He said, no, it's much more.
  • 00:20:52.927 --> 00:20:57.532
  • It just blows me away, you know,
  • 00:20:58.166 --> 00:21:00.234
  • But it's a different world.
  • 00:21:00.234 --> 00:21:02.503
  • - but think about it, if you are blessed, the blessing
  • 00:21:02.503 --> 00:21:05.073
  • Of the lord, he is the creator.
  • 00:21:05.073 --> 00:21:08.376
  • And if you have the blessing of the creator,
  • 00:21:08.376 --> 00:21:10.812
  • Then you would be creative in whatever work or job you have.
  • 00:21:10.812 --> 00:21:15.350
  • So you wouldn't just sit back,
  • 00:21:15.350 --> 00:21:16.851
  • You would believe god for increase.
  • 00:21:16.851 --> 00:21:19.354
  • Because god constantly increases.
  • 00:21:19.354 --> 00:21:21.456
  • - yeah, and you know, the last job,
  • 00:21:21.456 --> 00:21:23.324
  • And he's been at this job for like 10 years,
  • 00:21:23.324 --> 00:21:26.427
  • But the last job he got when the guy came
  • 00:21:26.427 --> 00:21:29.330
  • And the guy, he wasn't asking for a job.
  • 00:21:29.330 --> 00:21:31.699
  • He didn't apply for this job.
  • 00:21:31.699 --> 00:21:32.967
  • This guy called him and asked him to lunch.
  • 00:21:32.967 --> 00:21:35.370
  • And he had worked for him.
  • 00:21:35.370 --> 00:21:37.071
  • When he got outta college making $27 an hour.
  • 00:21:37.071 --> 00:21:40.408
  • And this company, he went to interview
  • 00:21:40.408 --> 00:21:42.977
  • And it was in the financial downturn
  • 00:21:42.977 --> 00:21:45.279
  • And he applied at like for a hundred jobs.
  • 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.282
  • He applied for two jobs a week in colorado.
  • 00:21:48.282 --> 00:21:50.284
  • He was offered a big high paying job in southern california.
  • 00:21:50.284 --> 00:21:53.388
  • To tell you the truth, i was kind of mad at him
  • 00:21:53.388 --> 00:21:54.922
  • 'cause he didn't take it 'cause it was like $137,000 a year
  • 00:21:54.922 --> 00:21:58.993
  • And he took this $27 an hour job.
  • 00:21:58.993 --> 00:22:01.329
  • But he said, no, i want to stay in colorado.
  • 00:22:01.329 --> 00:22:03.131
  • But see, he obeyed god.
  • 00:22:03.131 --> 00:22:04.732
  • That is the key to prospering.
  • 00:22:04.732 --> 00:22:06.434
  • - well, here's the thing.
  • 00:22:06.434 --> 00:22:07.735
  • In genesis chapter 12, verse one through three,
  • 00:22:07.735 --> 00:22:10.805
  • God told abraham, he said,
  • 00:22:10.805 --> 00:22:15.376
  • When you obey me, he said, you'll go out,
  • 00:22:15.376 --> 00:22:19.447
  • I will show you, i will make you
  • 00:22:19.447 --> 00:22:23.551
  • And i will bless you.
  • 00:22:23.551 --> 00:22:25.086
  • So the blessing of the lord is in god's direction.
  • 00:22:25.086 --> 00:22:28.156
  • - right. - i will show you,
  • 00:22:28.156 --> 00:22:29.657
  • In other words,
  • 00:22:29.657 --> 00:22:30.825
  • You don't know everything at that time,
  • 00:22:30.825 --> 00:22:32.326
  • But he will show you, give direction, he will make you,
  • 00:22:32.326 --> 00:22:35.897
  • In other words, areas of your life that you need strength
  • 00:22:35.897 --> 00:22:39.600
  • And you need further development.
  • 00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:41.803
  • God said, i'm gonna make you, i'm gonna make you.
  • 00:22:41.803 --> 00:22:45.006
  • And then he said, and i'm gonna bless you
  • 00:22:45.006 --> 00:22:47.475
  • And i'm gonna make you a blessing.
  • 00:22:47.475 --> 00:22:49.043
  • In other words, so god gets involved in your whole life
  • 00:22:49.043 --> 00:22:52.580
  • To show you, make you, shape you, help you
  • 00:22:52.580 --> 00:22:55.750
  • To grow and develop.
  • 00:22:55.750 --> 00:22:57.118
  • And then to bless you.
  • 00:22:57.118 --> 00:22:58.619
  • - so andrew got that job, he went to this guy,
  • 00:22:58.619 --> 00:23:01.389
  • The guy wasn't even advertising a job,
  • 00:23:01.389 --> 00:23:05.059
  • But he found this small engineering company in denver.
  • 00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:08.029
  • And he said, hey, this is who i am.
  • 00:23:08.029 --> 00:23:10.198
  • This is my qualifications.
  • 00:23:10.198 --> 00:23:11.232
  • He's very qualified.
  • 00:23:11.232 --> 00:23:12.700
  • He said, but you know, i'd like to work for you.
  • 00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:15.336
  • And the guy said, well, we're looking at three jobs.
  • 00:23:15.336 --> 00:23:17.438
  • If we get any one of the three, we'll give you a job.
  • 00:23:17.438 --> 00:23:21.108
  • So we prayed and the guy got all three jobs
  • 00:23:21.108 --> 00:23:23.945
  • And then andrew went but he was paying andrew $27 an hour
  • 00:23:23.945 --> 00:23:27.315
  • And then farmed him out for a hundred dollars an hour.
  • 00:23:27.315 --> 00:23:29.984
  • Well, that guy that he farmed him out to
  • 00:23:29.984 --> 00:23:31.752
  • Came back to him a few years later
  • 00:23:31.752 --> 00:23:33.855
  • Or maybe a couple and said, hey, come eat lunch.
  • 00:23:33.855 --> 00:23:37.325
  • Andrew thinks he's eating lunch.
  • 00:23:37.325 --> 00:23:39.060
  • And then the guy said, hey, i'm starting a new company.
  • 00:23:39.060 --> 00:23:41.662
  • He was giving his other top people 1%.
  • 00:23:41.662 --> 00:23:44.499
  • He gave andrew three.
  • 00:23:44.499 --> 00:23:46.067
  • - oh, wow. - he said, andrew,
  • 00:23:46.067 --> 00:23:47.401
  • How much money you wanna make?
  • 00:23:47.401 --> 00:23:48.970
  • Andrew told him he gave him 20,000 more than he asked for.
  • 00:23:48.970 --> 00:23:51.372
  • - wow. - then the place
  • 00:23:51.372 --> 00:23:52.507
  • That's blessed coming in.
  • 00:23:52.507 --> 00:23:54.208
  • The place he was leaving, he said, pray
  • 00:23:54.208 --> 00:23:56.077
  • Because they box your stuff up
  • 00:23:56.077 --> 00:23:58.112
  • And take away your stuff and walk you out.
  • 00:23:58.112 --> 00:24:01.015
  • He went in the week before they were gonna get bonuses
  • 00:24:01.015 --> 00:24:04.785
  • And met with the head guy from the company,
  • 00:24:04.785 --> 00:24:06.487
  • Like over a thousand people.
  • 00:24:06.487 --> 00:24:07.622
  • He said, andrew, why didn't you wait
  • 00:24:07.622 --> 00:24:09.123
  • Till your bonus came out?
  • 00:24:09.123 --> 00:24:11.125
  • He said, i thought this was the right thing to do.
  • 00:24:11.125 --> 00:24:13.528
  • So this man said, this is
  • 00:24:13.528 --> 00:24:14.629
  • What i'm gonna do for you, andrew.
  • 00:24:14.629 --> 00:24:16.531
  • You can work for me as long as you want to.
  • 00:24:16.531 --> 00:24:18.566
  • If you ever want to come back, you can come back.
  • 00:24:18.566 --> 00:24:21.702
  • He said, and i'm gonna give you your full bonus.
  • 00:24:21.702 --> 00:24:25.506
  • So he gave him a check going out the door for $28,000,
  • 00:24:25.506 --> 00:24:29.877
  • $28,000 bonus in addition.
  • 00:24:30.444 --> 00:24:33.347
  • He says, i'm giving you everything and you can work for me.
  • 00:24:33.347 --> 00:24:35.750
  • And if you ever want to come, because andrew was so honest.
  • 00:24:35.750 --> 00:24:39.487
  • And operates in so much integrity.
  • 00:24:39.487 --> 00:24:41.656
  • - and so that kind of blessing not just happens to you,
  • 00:24:41.656 --> 00:24:45.560
  • It happens to you that are watching right now.
  • 00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:48.763
  • And so that numbers six, verse 23, he tells them
  • 00:24:48.763 --> 00:24:51.933
  • To bless them.
  • 00:24:51.933 --> 00:24:53.501
  • So we are just gonna agree right now for you
  • 00:24:53.501 --> 00:24:56.904

  • And give you shalom or peace.
  • 00:25:04.512 --> 00:25:06.781
  • God said, i will bless you.
  • 00:25:06.781 --> 00:25:08.683
  • And one of my favorite translations says, say to them,
  • 00:25:08.683 --> 00:25:11.619
  • God bless you and keep you smile on you, gift you
  • 00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:15.022
