Pastor matt hagee: church,
00:00:13.541 --> 00:00:14.008
Pastor matt hagee: church, let me begin by saying
00:00:14.075 --> 00:00:15.342
Let me begin by saying that i am thrilled,
00:00:15.409 --> 00:00:17.545
That i am thrilled, considering the world
00:00:17.611 --> 00:00:18.446
Considering the world that we live in today,
00:00:18.512 --> 00:00:20.614
That we live in today, that i am a part of a kingdom
00:00:20.681 --> 00:00:22.817
That i am a part of a kingdom that is not of this world.
00:00:22.883 --> 00:00:25.486
That is not of this world. i'm ecstatic
00:00:25.553 --> 00:00:27.655
I'm ecstatic that there is not a red kingdom
00:00:27.721 --> 00:00:29.290
That there is not a red kingdom and a blue kingdom,
00:00:29.356 --> 00:00:30.424
And a blue kingdom, an elephant kingdom
00:00:30.491 --> 00:00:31.659
An elephant kingdom and a donkey kingdom.
00:00:31.725 --> 00:00:33.394
And a donkey kingdom. there is a kingdom
00:00:33.461 --> 00:00:34.328
There is a kingdom that is represented by
00:00:34.395 --> 00:00:35.463
That is represented by the lion of the tribe of judah,
00:00:35.529 --> 00:00:37.865
The lion of the tribe of judah, and that kingdom is coming
00:00:37.932 --> 00:00:39.300
And that kingdom is coming to this earth.
00:00:39.366 --> 00:00:39.967
To this earth. and when that kingdom comes,
00:00:40.034 --> 00:00:41.535
And when that kingdom comes, there shall be no end.
00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:45.739
There shall be no end. the reason i rejoice in that
00:00:45.806 --> 00:00:47.341
The reason i rejoice in that is because the harder men
00:00:47.408 --> 00:00:48.943
Is because the harder men on earth try
00:00:49.009 --> 00:00:50.010
On earth try to solve the problem,
00:00:50.077 --> 00:00:50.911
To solve the problem, it seems the worse they make it.
00:00:50.978 --> 00:00:54.115
It seems the worse they make it. but jesus christ,
00:00:54.181 --> 00:00:55.382
But jesus christ, when he was on the earth,
00:00:55.449 --> 00:00:56.984
When he was on the earth, spoke of a kingdom
00:00:57.051 --> 00:00:58.619
Spoke of a kingdom that he was a part of
00:00:58.686 --> 00:00:59.720
That he was a part of that had not come to earth yet.
00:00:59.787 --> 00:01:02.556
That had not come to earth yet. this is what he preached
00:01:02.623 --> 00:01:03.424
This is what he preached in the gospels,
00:01:03.491 --> 00:01:04.225
In the gospels, "the kingdom is at hand."
00:01:04.291 --> 00:01:06.360
"the kingdom is at hand." this is how
00:01:06.427 --> 00:01:07.061
This is how he taught us to pray,
00:01:07.128 --> 00:01:08.162
He taught us to pray, "thy kingdom come,
00:01:08.229 --> 00:01:09.930
"thy kingdom come, thy will be done."
00:01:09.997 --> 00:01:12.233
Thy will be done." he told nicodemus,
00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:13.400
He told nicodemus, the pharisee, in john 3,
00:01:13.467 --> 00:01:15.269
The pharisee, in john 3, "unless you are born again,
00:01:15.336 --> 00:01:17.071
"unless you are born again, you cannot be a part
00:01:17.138 --> 00:01:18.139
You cannot be a part of the kingdom of god."
00:01:18.205 --> 00:01:20.174
Of the kingdom of god." peter, james, and john,
00:01:20.241 --> 00:01:21.876
Peter, james, and john, matthew, mark, and luke
00:01:21.942 --> 00:01:23.310
Matthew, mark, and luke all gave their lives
00:01:23.377 --> 00:01:24.645
All gave their lives to the cause of the kingdom.
00:01:24.712 --> 00:01:27.381
To the cause of the kingdom. the kingdom of god
00:01:27.448 --> 00:01:28.849
The kingdom of god is the kingdom that
00:01:28.916 --> 00:01:29.817
Is the kingdom that powers and principalities
00:01:29.884 --> 00:01:31.218
Powers and principalities cannot stand against.
00:01:31.285 --> 00:01:32.686
Cannot stand against. the kingdom that christ
00:01:32.753 --> 00:01:33.721
The kingdom that christ proclaimed said that
00:01:33.787 --> 00:01:34.989
Proclaimed said that the gates of hell
00:01:35.055 --> 00:01:35.890
The gates of hell would not prevail.
00:01:35.956 --> 00:01:37.024
Would not prevail. you and i have been taught
00:01:37.091 --> 00:01:38.692
You and i have been taught by the word not to be
00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:39.994
By the word not to be a part of this world,
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:41.228
A part of this world, but to conform our thinking
00:01:41.295 --> 00:01:42.897
But to conform our thinking and be transformed
00:01:42.963 --> 00:01:44.131
And be transformed by the renewing of our mind
00:01:44.198 --> 00:01:45.499
By the renewing of our mind so that we can be
00:01:45.566 --> 00:01:46.467
So that we can be a part of a kingdom
00:01:46.534 --> 00:01:47.902
A part of a kingdom that's not on this earth.
00:01:47.968 --> 00:01:50.938
That's not on this earth. now, why do we wanna be
00:01:51.005 --> 00:01:51.672
Now, why do we wanna be a part of that kingdom?
00:01:51.739 --> 00:01:52.740
A part of that kingdom? because in that kingdom,
00:01:52.806 --> 00:01:54.775
Because in that kingdom, sickness and disease has been
00:01:54.842 --> 00:01:56.377
Sickness and disease has been conquered by the king of kings.
00:01:56.443 --> 00:01:58.179
Conquered by the king of kings. in that kingdom,
00:01:58.245 --> 00:01:59.346
In that kingdom, powers and principalities
00:01:59.413 --> 00:02:00.648
Powers and principalities have been put on display
00:02:00.714 --> 00:02:02.483
Have been put on display as our king has
00:02:02.550 --> 00:02:03.951
As our king has triumphed over them.
00:02:04.018 --> 00:02:04.985
Triumphed over them. in that kingdom,
00:02:05.052 --> 00:02:06.053
In that kingdom, he has removed
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.488
He has removed the sting of death
00:02:07.555 --> 00:02:08.189
The sting of death and the victory of the grave.
00:02:08.255 --> 00:02:09.823
And the victory of the grave. jesus christ is the king
00:02:09.890 --> 00:02:11.759
Jesus christ is the king who has conquered
00:02:11.825 --> 00:02:12.660
Who has conquered death, hell, and the grave,
00:02:12.726 --> 00:02:14.228
Death, hell, and the grave, which means he owns
00:02:14.295 --> 00:02:15.396
Which means he owns the real estate on both sides
00:02:15.462 --> 00:02:17.498
The real estate on both sides of the river jordan.
00:02:17.565 --> 00:02:18.632
Of the river jordan. that means that when you
00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:20.034
That means that when you breathe your last breath,
00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:21.535
Breathe your last breath, you'll be holding hands
00:02:21.602 --> 00:02:22.670
You'll be holding hands with jesus on this side,
00:02:22.736 --> 00:02:24.738
With jesus on this side, and he'll wipe the tears
00:02:24.805 --> 00:02:26.173
And he'll wipe the tears from your eyes on that side.
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.841
From your eyes on that side. he's the king that mends
00:02:27.908 --> 00:02:29.810
He's the king that mends broken hearts.
00:02:29.877 --> 00:02:30.644
Broken hearts. he's the king in whose presence
00:02:30.711 --> 00:02:32.713
He's the king in whose presence is the fullness of joy.
00:02:32.780 --> 00:02:34.281
Is the fullness of joy. he's the king who
00:02:34.348 --> 00:02:35.482
He's the king who has said he would supply
00:02:35.549 --> 00:02:36.717
Has said he would supply all of our needs according to
00:02:36.784 --> 00:02:38.686
All of our needs according to his riches and glory.
00:02:38.752 --> 00:02:39.920
His riches and glory. he's the king that has given
00:02:39.987 --> 00:02:41.288
He's the king that has given his angels charge over you.
00:02:41.355 --> 00:02:43.390
His angels charge over you. he's the king that said,
00:02:43.457 --> 00:02:44.892
He's the king that said, "i'll never leave you
00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:45.726
"i'll never leave you nor forsake you."
00:02:45.793 --> 00:02:47.061
Nor forsake you." he's the king that said
00:02:47.127 --> 00:02:48.495
He's the king that said he'd give you houses
00:02:48.562 --> 00:02:49.463
He'd give you houses you didn't build,
00:02:49.530 --> 00:02:50.297
You didn't build, wells you didn't dig,
00:02:50.364 --> 00:02:51.799
Wells you didn't dig, vineyards you didn't plant.
00:02:51.865 --> 00:02:53.434
Vineyards you didn't plant. he's the king that said
00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:54.702
He's the king that said speak to that mountain
00:02:54.768 --> 00:02:56.070
Speak to that mountain and he'd move it.
00:02:56.136 --> 00:02:57.271
And he'd move it. he's the king that said
00:02:57.338 --> 00:02:58.572
He's the king that said open up the windows of heaven
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.274
Open up the windows of heaven and he'll pour out upon you
00:03:00.341 --> 00:03:01.575
And he'll pour out upon you blessings that you
00:03:01.642 --> 00:03:02.343
Blessings that you cannot contain.
00:03:02.409 --> 00:03:03.510
Cannot contain. there is no god like our god.
00:03:03.577 --> 00:03:06.180
There is no god like our god. there is no king like our king.
00:03:06.247 --> 00:03:08.749
There is no king like our king. there is no god
00:03:08.816 --> 00:03:10.651
There is no god who has promised you
00:03:10.718 --> 00:03:11.852
Who has promised you all of the riches of heaven.
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.621
All of the riches of heaven. give him praise and glory
00:03:13.687 --> 00:03:14.888
Give him praise and glory in this house.
00:03:14.955 --> 00:03:15.689
[cheering and applause]
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:21.595
But what you need to know about
00:03:21.962 --> 00:03:23.130
But what you need to know about this king and his kingdom
00:03:23.197 --> 00:03:26.467
This king and his kingdom is that in order for you
00:03:26.533 --> 00:03:27.468
Is that in order for you to be a part of it,
00:03:27.534 --> 00:03:28.636
To be a part of it, you have got to have
00:03:28.702 --> 00:03:29.503
You have got to have the currency that
00:03:29.570 --> 00:03:30.604
The currency that his kingdom honors.
00:03:30.671 --> 00:03:33.073
His kingdom honors. when you go to a foreign land,
00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:34.742
When you go to a foreign land, you try to exchange your
00:03:34.808 --> 00:03:36.343
You try to exchange your currency for their currency
00:03:36.410 --> 00:03:38.112
Currency for their currency so you can buy what they have.
00:03:38.178 --> 00:03:41.982
So you can buy what they have. but whenever you go
00:03:42.049 --> 00:03:42.750
But whenever you go into the heavenly places
00:03:42.816 --> 00:03:43.784
Into the heavenly places of the kingdom,
00:03:43.851 --> 00:03:44.652
Of the kingdom, you've got to have
00:03:44.718 --> 00:03:45.452
You've got to have kingdom currency in order to
00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:48.188
Kingdom currency in order to receive the promises
00:03:48.255 --> 00:03:49.156
Receive the promises that the king provides.
00:03:49.223 --> 00:03:51.892
That the king provides. and jesus christ,
00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:54.395
And jesus christ, in the teaching of mark 12:30
00:03:54.461 --> 00:03:58.032
In the teaching of mark 12:30 tells us what that currency is.
00:03:58.098 --> 00:04:01.335
Tells us what that currency is. first, let's look at what
00:04:01.402 --> 00:04:02.536
First, let's look at what that currency is not.
00:04:02.603 --> 00:04:05.005
That currency is not. that currency is not gold.
00:04:05.072 --> 00:04:08.309
That currency is not gold. yes, the bible
00:04:08.375 --> 00:04:08.842
Yes, the bible talks about managing
00:04:08.909 --> 00:04:09.977
Talks about managing your material possessions.
00:04:10.044 --> 00:04:11.979
Your material possessions. and it talks about who you are
00:04:12.046 --> 00:04:13.614
And it talks about who you are as a steward of your wealth
00:04:13.681 --> 00:04:14.782
As a steward of your wealth and what you should do with it.
00:04:14.848 --> 00:04:16.884
And what you should do with it. the bible teaches it is better
00:04:16.950 --> 00:04:18.352
The bible teaches it is better to give than to receive,
00:04:18.419 --> 00:04:19.987
To give than to receive, but it's not limited
00:04:20.054 --> 00:04:20.988
But it's not limited simply to gold,
00:04:21.055 --> 00:04:24.091
Simply to gold, to currency,
00:04:24.158 --> 00:04:24.692
To currency, to material possessions.
00:04:24.758 --> 00:04:26.727
To material possessions. god has yet to look
00:04:26.794 --> 00:04:27.795
God has yet to look at the bank account
00:04:27.861 --> 00:04:28.562
At the bank account of any human being
00:04:28.629 --> 00:04:29.596
Of any human being drawing breath
00:04:29.663 --> 00:04:30.531
Drawing breath and been impressed.
00:04:30.597 --> 00:04:33.767
And been impressed. we look at resources
00:04:33.834 --> 00:04:35.502
We look at resources as a way to gain influence.
00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:39.239
As a way to gain influence. you don't even have to
00:04:39.306 --> 00:04:40.240
You don't even have to use first names,
00:04:40.307 --> 00:04:41.141
Use first names, just say names like
00:04:41.208 --> 00:04:43.143
Just say names like soros, bezos, gates,
00:04:43.210 --> 00:04:46.847
Soros, bezos, gates, and immediately people go,
00:04:46.914 --> 00:04:47.648
And immediately people go, "oh yes, they're powerful."
00:04:47.715 --> 00:04:48.916
"oh yes, they're powerful." why?
00:04:48.982 --> 00:04:49.450
Why? because they've got money.
00:04:49.516 --> 00:04:52.252
Because they've got money. when they get to heaven,
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:53.187
When they get to heaven, god is going to take
00:04:53.253 --> 00:04:54.021
God is going to take everything that they've done,
00:04:54.088 --> 00:04:55.122
Everything that they've done, and if it wasn't done for him,
00:04:55.189 --> 00:04:56.557
And if it wasn't done for him, it's going to go up in smoke.
00:04:56.623 --> 00:04:57.791
[wooshing]
00:04:58.392 --> 00:04:59.259
[applause]
00:05:00.027 --> 00:05:02.796
But he's going to look at
00:05:06.200 --> 00:05:06.867
But he's going to look at every one of his children
00:05:06.934 --> 00:05:07.835
Every one of his children who did anything in exchange
00:05:07.901 --> 00:05:10.471
Who did anything in exchange with kingdom currency,
00:05:10.537 --> 00:05:12.406
With kingdom currency, and that's going to be
00:05:12.473 --> 00:05:13.173
And that's going to be tested by the same fire,
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:14.508
Tested by the same fire, and it's going to be
00:05:14.575 --> 00:05:15.175
And it's going to be pure as gold.
00:05:15.242 --> 00:05:17.978
Pure as gold. so, the currency of the kingdom
00:05:18.045 --> 00:05:18.879
So, the currency of the kingdom is not material possessions.
00:05:18.946 --> 00:05:21.415
Is not material possessions. the currency of the kingdom
00:05:21.482 --> 00:05:22.716
The currency of the kingdom is not good deeds.
00:05:22.783 --> 00:05:25.552
Is not good deeds. some people say,
00:05:25.619 --> 00:05:26.086
Some people say, "well, i go around
00:05:26.153 --> 00:05:27.054
"well, i go around doing good deeds
00:05:27.121 --> 00:05:27.821
Doing good deeds and surely god will give me
00:05:27.888 --> 00:05:29.490
And surely god will give me blessings in my life
00:05:29.556 --> 00:05:30.591
Blessings in my life because of good deeds."
00:05:30.657 --> 00:05:31.525
Because of good deeds." there's no amount of good deeds
00:05:31.592 --> 00:05:32.793
There's no amount of good deeds that you can do to move
00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:33.927
That you can do to move the heart of god.
00:05:33.994 --> 00:05:35.996
The heart of god. as a matter of fact, he said,
00:05:36.063 --> 00:05:37.264
As a matter of fact, he said, "all of your righteousness
00:05:37.331 --> 00:05:38.732
"all of your righteousness is as filthy rags."
00:05:38.799 --> 00:05:42.035
Is as filthy rags." and if you understood
00:05:42.102 --> 00:05:42.669
And if you understood the biblical definition
00:05:42.736 --> 00:05:43.704
The biblical definition of a filthy rag,
00:05:43.771 --> 00:05:44.438
Of a filthy rag, you would know that
00:05:44.505 --> 00:05:45.272
You would know that that's not a figure of speech,
00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:46.407
That's not a figure of speech, it's nasty.
00:05:46.473 --> 00:05:50.711
It's nasty. kingdom currency
00:05:50.778 --> 00:05:51.678
Kingdom currency is not knowledge.
00:05:51.745 --> 00:05:53.947
Is not knowledge. some people wanna pride
00:05:54.014 --> 00:05:54.815
Some people wanna pride themselves on all the things
00:05:54.882 --> 00:05:56.150
Themselves on all the things that they know about
00:05:56.216 --> 00:05:57.151
That they know about the bible and theology,
00:05:57.217 --> 00:05:58.318
The bible and theology, and doctrine
00:05:58.385 --> 00:05:58.852
And doctrine and the word of god,
00:05:58.919 --> 00:05:59.686
And the word of god, but god is not impressed
00:05:59.753 --> 00:06:00.821
But god is not impressed by your knowledge.
00:06:00.888 --> 00:06:02.556
By your knowledge. he knows everything.
00:06:02.623 --> 00:06:03.223
He knows everything. you're not gonna
00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:03.857
You're not gonna tell him anything.
00:06:03.924 --> 00:06:07.127
Tell him anything. us trying to impress god
00:06:07.194 --> 00:06:08.495
Us trying to impress god with our knowledge is like
00:06:08.562 --> 00:06:09.496
With our knowledge is like a kindergartner asking you,
00:06:09.563 --> 00:06:10.998
A kindergartner asking you, "how do you spell mississippi?"
00:06:11.064 --> 00:06:15.836
"how do you spell mississippi?" just because they learned
00:06:15.903 --> 00:06:16.770
Just because they learned something new doesn't mean
00:06:16.837 --> 00:06:17.938
Something new doesn't mean that you're impressed
00:06:18.005 --> 00:06:19.239
That you're impressed by their knowledge.
00:06:19.306 --> 00:06:20.908
By their knowledge. and this is the conversation
00:06:20.974 --> 00:06:22.142
And this is the conversation that christ is having
00:06:22.209 --> 00:06:23.110
That christ is having in mark 12.
00:06:23.177 --> 00:06:25.846
In mark 12. he's having it
00:06:25.913 --> 00:06:26.346
He's having it with a pharisee.
00:06:26.413 --> 00:06:28.015
With a pharisee. a pharisee who studied
00:06:28.081 --> 00:06:29.183
A pharisee who studied the word of god all of his life.
00:06:29.249 --> 00:06:30.250
The word of god all of his life. a pharisee who prays
00:06:30.317 --> 00:06:31.518
A pharisee who prays several times a day.
00:06:31.585 --> 00:06:32.653
Several times a day. a pharisee who prides himself
00:06:32.719 --> 00:06:34.321
A pharisee who prides himself in all of the religious things
00:06:34.388 --> 00:06:35.756
In all of the religious things that he does,
00:06:35.823 --> 00:06:36.490
That he does, and he's trying
00:06:36.557 --> 00:06:37.758
And he's trying to stump the chump.
00:06:37.825 --> 00:06:40.994
To stump the chump. he doesn't look at jesus
00:06:41.061 --> 00:06:42.029
He doesn't look at jesus as the word made flesh.
00:06:42.095 --> 00:06:43.397
As the word made flesh. he doesn't look at jesus
00:06:43.464 --> 00:06:44.431
He doesn't look at jesus as the incarnate son of god.
00:06:44.498 --> 00:06:46.099
As the incarnate son of god. he looks at jesus as
00:06:46.166 --> 00:06:47.100
He looks at jesus as a hillbilly from nazareth
00:06:47.167 --> 00:06:49.036
A hillbilly from nazareth who has a carpenter's job
00:06:49.102 --> 00:06:50.237
Who has a carpenter's job and is wearing
00:06:50.304 --> 00:06:50.737
And is wearing a preacher's robe.
00:06:50.804 --> 00:06:54.141
A preacher's robe. and he elbows his friends,
00:06:54.208 --> 00:06:55.209
And he elbows his friends, he says, "watch,"
00:06:55.275 --> 00:06:55.809
He says, "watch," he says, "i'mma trip him up
00:06:55.876 --> 00:06:56.743
He says, "i'mma trip him up with this one.
00:06:56.810 --> 00:06:58.479
With this one. what is the most important
00:06:58.545 --> 00:07:00.481
What is the most important commandment?
00:07:00.547 --> 00:07:01.882
[snickering]
00:07:02.249 --> 00:07:02.816
Let's see what he says."
00:07:04.718 --> 00:07:07.354
Let's see what he says." and jesus quotes deuteronomy.
00:07:07.421 --> 00:07:09.857
And jesus quotes deuteronomy. he says, "behold, o israel,
00:07:09.923 --> 00:07:10.858
He says, "behold, o israel, the lord our god is one."
00:07:10.924 --> 00:07:14.194
The lord our god is one." and then, jesus gives him
00:07:14.261 --> 00:07:16.597
And then, jesus gives him some insight into how he should
00:07:16.663 --> 00:07:17.531
Some insight into how he should live if he truly believes
00:07:17.598 --> 00:07:19.066
Live if he truly believes that commandment.
00:07:19.132 --> 00:07:21.168
That commandment. he says, "and the second one
00:07:21.235 --> 00:07:22.102
He says, "and the second one is this, 'and you shall love,"'
00:07:22.169 --> 00:07:23.837
Is this, 'and you shall love,"' say that with me.
00:07:23.904 --> 00:07:24.638
Say that with me. "and you shall love
00:07:24.705 --> 00:07:27.140
"and you shall love the lord your god."
00:07:27.207 --> 00:07:28.709
The lord your god." and then, he gives him
00:07:28.775 --> 00:07:29.676
And then, he gives him five accounts where
00:07:29.743 --> 00:07:32.312
Five accounts where this kingdom currency
00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:33.480
This kingdom currency is to be exchanged.
00:07:33.547 --> 00:07:35.716
Is to be exchanged. he said, "you shall love
00:07:35.782 --> 00:07:36.717
He said, "you shall love the lord your god with
00:07:36.783 --> 00:07:37.584
The lord your god with all of your heart,
00:07:37.651 --> 00:07:38.719
All of your heart, with all of your soul,
00:07:38.785 --> 00:07:40.120
With all of your soul, with all of your mind,
00:07:40.187 --> 00:07:41.388
With all of your mind, with all of your strength."
00:07:41.455 --> 00:07:43.590
With all of your strength." you cannot escape
00:07:43.657 --> 00:07:44.992
You cannot escape the fact that the currency
00:07:45.058 --> 00:07:46.260
The fact that the currency of the kingdom is love.
00:07:46.326 --> 00:07:49.663
Of the kingdom is love. what jesus was telling this
00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:50.497
What jesus was telling this arrogant pharisee is that,
00:07:50.564 --> 00:07:52.699
Arrogant pharisee is that, "if you truly believe that god
00:07:52.766 --> 00:07:54.601
"if you truly believe that god is one and he is the only god
00:07:54.668 --> 00:07:57.037
Is one and he is the only god and there is no other god,
00:07:57.104 --> 00:07:58.105
And there is no other god, then you should love him
00:07:58.171 --> 00:08:00.440
Then you should love him with all of your heart,
00:08:00.507 --> 00:08:01.441
With all of your heart, with all of your soul,
00:08:01.508 --> 00:08:02.776
With all of your soul, with all of your mind,
00:08:02.843 --> 00:08:04.144
With all of your mind, and with all of your strength.
00:08:04.211 --> 00:08:05.579
And with all of your strength. if you say it and you don't
00:08:05.646 --> 00:08:07.247
If you say it and you don't behave like that,
00:08:07.314 --> 00:08:08.682
Behave like that, then what you say is a lie."
00:08:08.749 --> 00:08:12.920
Then what you say is a lie." and in this, jesus gives us
00:08:12.986 --> 00:08:14.354
And in this, jesus gives us the revelation of what
00:08:14.421 --> 00:08:15.622
The revelation of what the currency of the kingdom is.
00:08:15.689 --> 00:08:18.892
The currency of the kingdom is. god's currency is love.
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.828
God's currency is love. everything that he's ever
00:08:21.895 --> 00:08:23.297
Everything that he's ever exchanged with us,
00:08:23.363 --> 00:08:24.331
Exchanged with us, he exchanged in love.
00:08:24.398 --> 00:08:26.667
He exchanged in love. "for god so," what?
00:08:26.733 --> 00:08:28.135
"for god so," what? "loved the world that he gave
00:08:28.201 --> 00:08:30.237
"loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
00:08:30.304 --> 00:08:32.172
His only begotten son that whosoever believes in him
00:08:32.239 --> 00:08:34.174
That whosoever believes in him should not perish
00:08:34.241 --> 00:08:35.375
Should not perish but have everlasting life."
00:08:35.442 --> 00:08:36.376
But have everlasting life." if you believe in jesus,
00:08:36.443 --> 00:08:37.945
If you believe in jesus, you have exchanged in love
00:08:38.011 --> 00:08:40.147
You have exchanged in love with him.
00:08:40.213 --> 00:08:41.782
With him. what is the kingdom of heaven
00:08:41.848 --> 00:08:43.417
What is the kingdom of heaven looking for you to do with
00:08:43.483 --> 00:08:44.518
Looking for you to do with the exchange in this currency?
00:08:44.585 --> 00:08:47.054
The exchange in this currency? not look for ways
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:47.788
Not look for ways to improve your life.
00:08:47.854 --> 00:08:49.656
To improve your life. that's a byproduct.
00:08:49.723 --> 00:08:52.192
That's a byproduct. but heaven wants you to use
00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:53.760
But heaven wants you to use the kingdom currency
00:08:53.827 --> 00:08:54.895
The kingdom currency to win the lost.
00:08:54.962 --> 00:08:58.465
To win the lost. jesus said in
00:08:58.532 --> 00:08:59.433
Jesus said in his earthly ministry,
00:08:59.499 --> 00:09:00.367
His earthly ministry, "what should it profit a man
00:09:00.434 --> 00:09:01.435
"what should it profit a man if he gains the whole world
00:09:01.501 --> 00:09:04.638
If he gains the whole world and loses his soul?"
00:09:04.705 --> 00:09:07.474
And loses his soul?" in heaven's scales, he said,
00:09:07.541 --> 00:09:09.409
In heaven's scales, he said, "one soul is worth
00:09:09.476 --> 00:09:10.711
"one soul is worth all of the world."
00:09:10.777 --> 00:09:12.813
All of the world." so, when you have
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.981
So, when you have heaven's currency,
00:09:14.047 --> 00:09:15.015
Heaven's currency, when you have the love
00:09:15.082 --> 00:09:16.350
When you have the love of king jesus in your heart,
00:09:16.416 --> 00:09:17.951
Of king jesus in your heart, what should you be
00:09:18.018 --> 00:09:18.685
What should you be doing with it?
00:09:18.752 --> 00:09:20.454
Doing with it? trying to get
00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:21.221
Trying to get as many souls as you can
00:09:21.288 --> 00:09:22.656
As many souls as you can to know who jesus is.
00:09:22.723 --> 00:09:24.591
[applause]
00:09:24.992 --> 00:09:31.131
And yet, we live in a world
00:09:31.698 --> 00:09:32.666
And yet, we live in a world where there's a lot of people
00:09:32.733 --> 00:09:33.667
Where there's a lot of people who don't do that as much
00:09:33.734 --> 00:09:34.701
Who don't do that as much as they should.
00:09:34.768 --> 00:09:37.037
As they should. when you find
00:09:37.104 --> 00:09:37.571
When you find a true follower of christ,
00:09:37.638 --> 00:09:40.374
A true follower of christ, not a "christian",
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.442
Not a "christian", 'cause really,
00:09:42.509 --> 00:09:43.276
'cause really, not all "christians"
00:09:43.343 --> 00:09:44.411
Not all "christians" are followers of christ.
00:09:44.478 --> 00:09:46.780
Are followers of christ. but when you find
00:09:46.847 --> 00:09:47.514
But when you find a true follower of christ,
00:09:47.581 --> 00:09:49.282
A true follower of christ, you find somebody who is
00:09:49.349 --> 00:09:50.517
You find somebody who is passionately pursuing souls.
00:09:50.584 --> 00:09:55.288
Passionately pursuing souls. what did the disciples do
00:09:55.355 --> 00:09:56.723
What did the disciples do after jesus left
00:09:56.790 --> 00:09:57.624
After jesus left with the great commission?
00:09:57.691 --> 00:09:58.692
With the great commission? they passionately pursued souls.
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.762
They passionately pursued souls. peter, on the day of pentecost,
00:10:01.828 --> 00:10:03.330
Peter, on the day of pentecost, what did he do?
00:10:03.397 --> 00:10:04.164
What did he do? he got 3,000 people saved.
00:10:04.231 --> 00:10:06.033
He got 3,000 people saved. not because they were
00:10:06.099 --> 00:10:07.167
Not because they were watching him perform,
00:10:07.234 --> 00:10:08.368
Watching him perform, but because he was
00:10:08.435 --> 00:10:09.002
But because he was pursuing souls.
00:10:09.069 --> 00:10:10.437
Pursuing souls. what did paul and silas do
00:10:10.504 --> 00:10:11.872
What did paul and silas do after a night in prison?
00:10:11.938 --> 00:10:13.040
After a night in prison? the guy who locked them up,
00:10:13.106 --> 00:10:14.908
The guy who locked them up, they got him saved.
00:10:14.975 --> 00:10:18.211
They got him saved. why?
00:10:18.278 --> 00:10:18.812
Why? because followers of christ
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.080
Because followers of christ passionately pursue souls.
00:10:20.147 --> 00:10:22.049
Passionately pursue souls. why?
00:10:22.115 --> 00:10:22.816
Why? because that's what
00:10:22.883 --> 00:10:23.283
Because that's what jesus came to do,
00:10:23.350 --> 00:10:24.251
Jesus came to do, to seek
00:10:24.317 --> 00:10:24.818
To seek and to save the lost.
00:10:24.885 --> 00:10:25.585
And to save the lost. and if you love him,
00:10:25.652 --> 00:10:26.553
And if you love him, you'll do what he did.
00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:29.623
You'll do what he did. you don't love god
00:10:29.690 --> 00:10:30.223
You don't love god because he blesses you,
00:10:30.290 --> 00:10:31.358
Because he blesses you, you love god because
00:10:31.425 --> 00:10:32.492

From sharing your true and benefits -- beliefs
00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:00.247
And benefits -- beliefs in jesus christ?
00:12:00.313 --> 00:12:01.448
In jesus christ? don't tell me that
00:12:01.515 --> 00:12:02.616
Don't tell me that it's your concern about
00:12:02.682 --> 00:12:04.551
It's your concern about other people's feelings.
00:12:04.618 --> 00:12:06.953
Other people's feelings. that's not true.
00:12:07.020 --> 00:12:09.122
That's not true. you need to be willing
00:12:09.189 --> 00:12:10.023
You need to be willing to tell people who jesus is
00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:11.491
To tell people who jesus is and what he's done for you.
00:12:11.558 --> 00:12:12.759
And what he's done for you. and if that offends them,

00:12:31.278 --> 00:12:33.280
They didn't die and be buried in a grave and then rise again
00:12:33.346 --> 00:12:34.881
In a grave and then rise again so that you could look at
00:12:34.948 --> 00:12:35.916
So that you could look at death, hell, and the grave
00:12:35.982 --> 00:12:37.117
Death, hell, and the grave with keys of victory,
00:12:37.184 --> 00:12:38.451
With keys of victory, but christ gave you those keys.
00:12:38.518 --> 00:12:40.487
But christ gave you those keys. so, if it bothers them,
00:12:40.554 --> 00:12:42.088

How do you love the lord with all your heart?
00:13:11.284 --> 00:13:14.187
With all your heart? the bible tells us that
00:13:14.254 --> 00:13:15.789
The bible tells us that where a man's treasure is,
00:13:15.856 --> 00:13:17.023
Where a man's treasure is, there his heart will be also.
00:13:17.090 --> 00:13:21.194
There his heart will be also. now, when we hear
00:13:21.261 --> 00:13:21.995
Now, when we hear the word "treasure,"
00:13:22.062 --> 00:13:22.796
The word "treasure," we think about, again,
00:13:22.863 --> 00:13:24.831
We think about, again, our natural resources.
00:13:24.898 --> 00:13:27.167
Our natural resources. and some people treasure
00:13:27.234 --> 00:13:28.068
And some people treasure their financial wealth greatly.
00:13:28.134 --> 00:13:31.571

Their hair. just look how much
00:13:40.180 --> 00:13:40.747
Just look how much they touch it and flip it.
00:13:40.814 --> 00:13:44.951
They touch it and flip it. if i had enough to flip,
00:13:45.018 --> 00:13:45.986
If i had enough to flip, i would.

Their friends and their family. it doesn't take much to find out
00:13:56.529 --> 00:13:57.964
It doesn't take much to find out what somebody treasures,
00:13:58.031 --> 00:13:58.732
What somebody treasures, because usually that's what
00:13:58.798 --> 00:13:59.766

A conversation with me, it's not gonna take me
00:14:03.970 --> 00:14:04.571
It's not gonna take me very long to start
00:14:04.638 --> 00:14:05.338

00:15:45.338 --> 00:15:46.106
Holding on to things that you are struggling with,
00:15:46.172 --> 00:15:47.207
You are struggling with, or you can walk
00:15:47.273 --> 00:15:47.907
Or you can walk outta here saying,
00:15:47.974 --> 00:15:48.575
Outta here saying, "god, i love you enough
00:15:48.641 --> 00:15:49.642
"god, i love you enough just to see what
00:15:49.709 --> 00:15:50.110
Just to see what you can do with it."
00:15:50.176 --> 00:15:52.445
You can do with it." when you love god
00:15:52.512 --> 00:15:53.313
When you love god with all of your heart,
00:15:53.380 --> 00:15:54.114
With all of your heart, whatever you treasure,
00:15:54.180 --> 00:15:55.548
Whatever you treasure, you give to god.
00:15:55.615 --> 00:15:57.317
You give to god. when you love god
00:15:57.384 --> 00:15:59.119
When you love god with all of your mind,
00:15:59.185 --> 00:16:03.757
With all of your mind, whatever god's word says
00:16:03.823 --> 00:16:05.825
Whatever god's word says you do.
00:16:05.892 --> 00:16:07.427
You do. why?
00:16:07.494 --> 00:16:07.894
Why? because the mind
00:16:07.961 --> 00:16:08.495
Because the mind is the place where we are
00:16:08.561 --> 00:16:10.797
Is the place where we are in constant conflict
00:16:10.864 --> 00:16:12.665
In constant conflict with the king.
00:16:12.732 --> 00:16:14.801
With the king. the bible says that
00:16:14.868 --> 00:16:15.435
The bible says that the carnal mind
00:16:15.502 --> 00:16:16.069
The carnal mind is at enmity with god.
00:16:16.136 --> 00:16:17.504
Is at enmity with god. that means it is
00:16:17.570 --> 00:16:18.038
That means it is absolutely opposed to god.
00:16:18.104 --> 00:16:20.607
Absolutely opposed to god. the carnal mind wants to
00:16:20.673 --> 00:16:21.674
The carnal mind wants to live by reasons.
00:16:21.741 --> 00:16:22.509
Live by reasons. god's word is a revelation.
00:16:22.575 --> 00:16:26.112
God's word is a revelation. so, when you love the lord
00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:26.813
So, when you love the lord with all of your mind,
00:16:26.880 --> 00:16:27.680
With all of your mind, whatever his word says you do,
00:16:27.747 --> 00:16:29.916
Whatever his word says you do, because his word
00:16:29.983 --> 00:16:30.950
Because his word is a lamp unto your feet
00:16:31.017 --> 00:16:32.318
Is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path,
00:16:32.385 --> 00:16:33.520
And a light unto your path, and it will not return void.
00:16:33.586 --> 00:16:38.558
And it will not return void. but oftentimes, rather than love
00:16:38.625 --> 00:16:39.592
But oftentimes, rather than love the lord with all of our mind,
00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:40.627
The lord with all of our mind, what we do is we read
00:16:40.693 --> 00:16:41.995
What we do is we read god's word and we say,
00:16:42.062 --> 00:16:43.196
God's word and we say, "hmm, let me think about that."
00:16:43.263 --> 00:16:46.966
"hmm, let me think about that." or we read god's word
00:16:47.033 --> 00:16:47.934
Or we read god's word and instead of doing what
00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:49.169
And instead of doing what god's word says, we say,
00:16:49.235 --> 00:16:50.537
God's word says, we say, "well, i was taught."
00:16:50.603 --> 00:16:52.672
"well, i was taught." well, if what you were taught
00:16:52.739 --> 00:16:53.473
Well, if what you were taught was in contradiction
00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:54.307
Was in contradiction to god's word,
00:16:54.374 --> 00:16:55.041
To god's word, what you were taught was wrong.
00:16:55.108 --> 00:16:58.178
What you were taught was wrong. that's a real easy thing
00:16:58.244 --> 00:16:59.212
That's a real easy thing to solve.
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.016
To solve. so, when you love the lord
00:17:03.083 --> 00:17:03.716
So, when you love the lord with all of your heart,
00:17:03.783 --> 00:17:04.484
With all of your heart, whatever you treasure,
00:17:04.551 --> 00:17:05.351
Whatever you treasure, you give to god.
00:17:05.418 --> 00:17:06.252
You give to god. when you love the lord
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:06.986
When you love the lord with all of your mind,
00:17:07.053 --> 00:17:07.687
With all of your mind, whatever you reason,
00:17:07.754 --> 00:17:08.922
Whatever you reason, you allow the revelation of god
00:17:08.988 --> 00:17:11.091
You allow the revelation of god to lead you.
00:17:11.157 --> 00:17:13.093
To lead you. this is what proverbs 3 says,
00:17:13.159 --> 00:17:14.294
This is what proverbs 3 says, "trust in the lord with
00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:15.261
"trust in the lord with all of your heart.
00:17:15.328 --> 00:17:16.429
All of your heart. lean not to your," what?
00:17:16.496 --> 00:17:17.630
Lean not to your," what? "own understanding."
00:17:17.697 --> 00:17:20.900
"own understanding." that's where your mind
00:17:20.967 --> 00:17:21.534
That's where your mind gets engaged and says,
00:17:21.601 --> 00:17:22.836
Gets engaged and says, "god, wherever you take me,
00:17:22.902 --> 00:17:23.870
"god, wherever you take me, that's what i'll do.
00:17:23.937 --> 00:17:24.804
That's what i'll do. that's where i'll go."
00:17:24.871 --> 00:17:27.607
That's where i'll go." and then, when you love god
00:17:27.674 --> 00:17:28.341
And then, when you love god with all of your strength,
00:17:28.408 --> 00:17:30.610
With all of your strength, that means whatever abilities
00:17:30.677 --> 00:17:32.112
That means whatever abilities and talents he's given to you,
00:17:32.178 --> 00:17:34.147
And talents he's given to you, you give back to him.
00:17:34.214 --> 00:17:36.182
You give back to him. this is where you actively
00:17:36.249 --> 00:17:37.684
This is where you actively serve in the kingdom.
00:17:37.750 --> 00:17:41.087
Serve in the kingdom. not wait to be served,
00:17:41.154 --> 00:17:42.155
Not wait to be served, but actively serve
00:17:42.222 --> 00:17:44.190
But actively serve in the kingdom.
00:17:44.257 --> 00:17:46.326
In the kingdom. and when you do it,
00:17:46.392 --> 00:17:47.127
And when you do it, do it in love.
00:17:47.193 --> 00:17:49.796
Do it in love. do it because you want to,
00:17:49.863 --> 00:17:51.131
Do it because you want to, not because you have to.
00:17:51.197 --> 00:17:54.434
Not because you have to. how did cornerstone church
00:17:54.501 --> 00:17:55.535
How did cornerstone church become a church that
00:17:55.602 --> 00:17:56.603
Become a church that impacts the world?
00:17:56.669 --> 00:17:59.172
Impacts the world? ninety-seven nations
00:17:59.239 --> 00:18:00.373
Ninety-seven nations tuning in to watch
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:01.808
Tuning in to watch this ministry right now.
00:18:01.875 --> 00:18:03.543
This ministry right now. how did that happen?
00:18:03.610 --> 00:18:05.645
How did that happen? it started decades ago
00:18:05.712 --> 00:18:07.213
It started decades ago with just a few dozen people
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:08.815
With just a few dozen people who said,
00:18:08.882 --> 00:18:09.182
Who said, "god, we don't have much,
00:18:09.249 --> 00:18:10.383
"god, we don't have much, but what we have,
00:18:10.450 --> 00:18:11.284
But what we have, we're gonna serve you with it."
00:18:11.351 --> 00:18:14.387
We're gonna serve you with it." they took their talents,
00:18:14.454 --> 00:18:15.455
They took their talents, they took their skills,
00:18:15.522 --> 00:18:16.623
They took their skills, they took their abilities.
00:18:16.689 --> 00:18:17.757
They took their abilities. they didn't have much
00:18:17.824 --> 00:18:18.525
They didn't have much financial resources,
00:18:18.591 --> 00:18:19.692
Financial resources, but what they had,
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.760
But what they had, they served god with.
00:18:20.827 --> 00:18:23.963
They served god with. i could tell you stories
00:18:24.030 --> 00:18:24.864
I could tell you stories for days and weeks at a time
00:18:24.931 --> 00:18:26.799
For days and weeks at a time about how these individuals
00:18:26.866 --> 00:18:28.401
About how these individuals dedicated themselves to serving
00:18:28.468 --> 00:18:30.370
Dedicated themselves to serving in the house of god,
00:18:30.436 --> 00:18:31.471
In the house of god, how they built
00:18:31.538 --> 00:18:32.138
How they built the first church
00:18:32.205 --> 00:18:33.173
The first church with their own hands.
00:18:33.239 --> 00:18:35.141
With their own hands. why?
00:18:35.208 --> 00:18:35.542
Why? because nobody would loan
00:18:35.608 --> 00:18:36.242
Because nobody would loan the church any money
00:18:36.309 --> 00:18:37.343
The church any money and no contractor
00:18:37.410 --> 00:18:38.178
And no contractor wanted to do the job.
00:18:38.244 --> 00:18:40.346
Wanted to do the job. so, dad said,
00:18:40.413 --> 00:18:41.080
So, dad said, "i'll be the contractor."
00:18:41.147 --> 00:18:42.081
"i'll be the contractor." and they said,
00:18:42.148 --> 00:18:42.615
And they said, "we'll be the crew."
00:18:42.682 --> 00:18:44.984
"we'll be the crew." and i'm so glad we don't
00:18:45.051 --> 00:18:46.152
And i'm so glad we don't have to build buildings
00:18:46.219 --> 00:18:46.986
Have to build buildings like that anymore.
00:18:47.053 --> 00:18:47.854
Like that anymore. no offense.
00:18:47.921 --> 00:18:48.788
[laughter]
00:18:49.189 --> 00:18:51.591
He's glad too.
00:18:54.427 --> 00:18:55.428
[laughter]
00:18:56.029 --> 00:18:57.397
But we still need individuals
00:18:59.365 --> 00:19:00.500
But we still need individuals who are willing to serve.
00:19:00.567 --> 00:19:01.634
Who are willing to serve. why?
00:19:01.701 --> 00:19:03.937
Why? because that's your opportunity
00:19:04.003 --> 00:19:05.071
Because that's your opportunity to exchange in the currency
00:19:05.138 --> 00:19:07.173
To exchange in the currency of the kingdom.
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.509
Of the kingdom. i can't tell you
00:19:09.576 --> 00:19:10.310
I can't tell you how many times i've heard
00:19:10.376 --> 00:19:11.411
How many times i've heard of people who started
00:19:11.477 --> 00:19:12.745
Of people who started to serve the lord somewhere,
00:19:12.812 --> 00:19:16.282
To serve the lord somewhere, and the second that they
00:19:16.349 --> 00:19:17.083
And the second that they started to serve somewhere,
00:19:17.150 --> 00:19:18.618
Started to serve somewhere, god started working
00:19:18.685 --> 00:19:19.552
God started working in other places in their life.
00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:23.623
In other places in their life. they started ushering
00:19:23.690 --> 00:19:25.725
They started ushering and god started moving things
00:19:25.792 --> 00:19:26.926
And god started moving things around in their business.
00:19:26.993 --> 00:19:28.761
Around in their business. before they started ushering,
00:19:28.828 --> 00:19:30.063
Before they started ushering, they came up with the excuse,
00:19:30.129 --> 00:19:31.364
They came up with the excuse, "i just don't have time.
00:19:31.431 --> 00:19:32.498
"i just don't have time. i'm so busy doing all of these
00:19:32.565 --> 00:19:33.399
I'm so busy doing all of these other things."
00:19:33.466 --> 00:19:34.200
Other things." and the second they said,
00:19:34.267 --> 00:19:34.934
And the second they said, "god, i'm just gonna
00:19:35.001 --> 00:19:35.535
"god, i'm just gonna serve you.
00:19:35.602 --> 00:19:36.169
Serve you. i'm gonna help people find
00:19:36.236 --> 00:19:37.470
I'm gonna help people find a seat in your house."
00:19:37.537 --> 00:19:38.471
A seat in your house." doesn't sound like much.
00:19:38.538 --> 00:19:39.372
Doesn't sound like much. trust me.
00:19:39.439 --> 00:19:39.872
Trust me. i don't wanna offend any ushers,
00:19:39.939 --> 00:19:41.107
I don't wanna offend any ushers, but it don't take much to usher,
00:19:41.174 --> 00:19:42.675
Just a little willingness.
00:19:46.746 --> 00:19:48.881
Just a little willingness. and the second that
00:19:48.948 --> 00:19:49.582
And the second that they started doing
00:19:49.649 --> 00:19:50.183
They started doing something simple like that,
00:19:50.250 --> 00:19:51.150
Something simple like that, the problem that
00:19:51.217 --> 00:19:51.985
The problem that they were fighting with
00:19:52.051 --> 00:19:53.186
They were fighting with over here at work on monday,
00:19:53.253 --> 00:19:54.554
Over here at work on monday, it got solved.
00:19:54.621 --> 00:19:57.357
It got solved. now, how did it get solved?
00:19:57.423 --> 00:19:58.625
Now, how did it get solved? you say, "well, i don't know
00:19:58.691 --> 00:19:59.325
You say, "well, i don't know that there's a
00:19:59.392 --> 00:19:59.826
That there's a direct correlation."
00:19:59.892 --> 00:20:01.194
Direct correlation." it don't matter.
00:20:01.261 --> 00:20:01.761
It don't matter. it got solved.
00:20:01.828 --> 00:20:03.763
[applause]
00:20:04.264 --> 00:20:10.536
I had a conversation
00:20:10.937 --> 00:20:11.704
I had a conversation with a man one time who was
00:20:11.771 --> 00:20:12.605
With a man one time who was asking me about tithing.
00:20:12.672 --> 00:20:17.410
Asking me about tithing. and he said, "pastor, i want you
00:20:17.477 --> 00:20:18.344
And he said, "pastor, i want you to tell me why i should tithe."
00:20:18.411 --> 00:20:22.081
To tell me why i should tithe." and i went to seminary,
00:20:22.148 --> 00:20:24.951
And i went to seminary, i've read books.
00:20:25.018 --> 00:20:27.153
I've read books. i'm relatively intelligent.
00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:29.322
I'm relatively intelligent. regardless of what you read
00:20:29.389 --> 00:20:30.423
Regardless of what you read on the internet,
00:20:30.490 --> 00:20:30.890
On the internet, i'm kind of smart.
00:20:30.957 --> 00:20:34.360
I'm kind of smart. and the most educated answer
00:20:34.427 --> 00:20:35.795
And the most educated answer i gave him about why
00:20:35.862 --> 00:20:37.797
I gave him about why he should tithe, i said,
00:20:37.864 --> 00:20:39.365
He should tithe, i said, "because god said so."
00:20:39.432 --> 00:20:42.835
"because god said so." and when i said it,
00:20:42.902 --> 00:20:43.503
And when i said it, i went, "what?"
00:20:43.569 --> 00:20:47.206
I went, "what?" i mean, i'm supposed to start
00:20:47.273 --> 00:20:48.041
I mean, i'm supposed to start with abraham and melchizedek
00:20:48.107 --> 00:20:49.742
With abraham and melchizedek and work my way
00:20:49.809 --> 00:20:50.376
And work my way all the way through to luke,
00:20:50.443 --> 00:20:51.911
All the way through to luke, but apparently,
00:20:51.978 --> 00:20:53.146
But apparently, "because god said so" is all
00:20:53.212 --> 00:20:54.447
"because god said so" is all that i can ecumenically
00:20:54.514 --> 00:20:55.481
That i can ecumenically offer at this moment.
00:20:55.548 --> 00:20:58.418
Offer at this moment. and this man was
00:20:58.484 --> 00:20:59.185
And this man was an educated man himself.
00:20:59.252 --> 00:21:00.553
An educated man himself. and he kinda looked at me like,
00:21:00.620 --> 00:21:01.788
And he kinda looked at me like, "well, that's profound."
00:21:01.854 --> 00:21:05.925
"well, that's profound." a week later, he calls me,
00:21:05.992 --> 00:21:06.993
A week later, he calls me, he says, "hey."
00:21:07.060 --> 00:21:09.128
He says, "hey." he says, "i tried tithing."
00:21:09.195 --> 00:21:11.264
He says, "i tried tithing." and i said, "okay."
00:21:11.331 --> 00:21:12.065
And i said, "okay." i said, "how's it working?"
00:21:12.131 --> 00:21:12.865
I said, "how's it working?" he goes, "well,
00:21:12.932 --> 00:21:14.834
He goes, "well, it's working out great."
00:21:14.901 --> 00:21:16.602
It's working out great." i said, "tell me
00:21:16.669 --> 00:21:17.804
I said, "tell me what's going on."
00:21:17.870 --> 00:21:18.571
What's going on." he said, "well,"
00:21:18.638 --> 00:21:19.005
He said, "well," he said, "you know,
00:21:19.072 --> 00:21:19.906
He said, "you know, i've got three children that
00:21:19.972 --> 00:21:22.475
I've got three children that are all in their twenties
00:21:22.542 --> 00:21:23.609
Are all in their twenties and they're all living at home."
00:21:23.676 --> 00:21:25.611
[laughter]
00:21:26.479 --> 00:21:28.147
And he goes,
00:21:28.681 --> 00:21:29.182
And he goes, "and my wife and i
00:21:29.248 --> 00:21:30.149
"and my wife and i have been praying about
00:21:30.216 --> 00:21:31.117
Have been praying about how to motivate them
00:21:31.184 --> 00:21:32.752
How to motivate them to kind of start
00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:33.586
To kind of start being productive and get
00:21:33.653 --> 00:21:35.321
Being productive and get their lives going."
00:21:35.388 --> 00:21:36.155
Their lives going." and he said, "you know,
00:21:36.222 --> 00:21:36.823
And he said, "you know, i've been tithing."
00:21:36.889 --> 00:21:38.424
I've been tithing." and he said, "guess what?"
00:21:38.491 --> 00:21:39.292
And he said, "guess what?" he said, "two of 'em came to me
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.626
He said, "two of 'em came to me and said that they're gonna
00:21:40.693 --> 00:21:41.694
And said that they're gonna start a business,
00:21:41.761 --> 00:21:42.528
Start a business, and the third one
00:21:42.595 --> 00:21:43.029
And the third one came and said,
00:21:43.096 --> 00:21:43.596
Came and said, she's getting ready
00:21:43.663 --> 00:21:44.297
She's getting ready to get married."
00:21:44.364 --> 00:21:44.831
To get married." he goes, "if all of these things
00:21:44.897 --> 00:21:45.732
He goes, "if all of these things take place,"
00:21:45.798 --> 00:21:46.299
Take place," he said, "you know how much
00:21:46.366 --> 00:21:46.999
He said, "you know how much of a raise i'm going to get
00:21:47.066 --> 00:21:48.134
Of a raise i'm going to get when they move out?"
00:21:48.201 --> 00:21:49.235
[laughter]
00:21:49.602 --> 00:21:50.603
[applause]
00:21:51.070 --> 00:21:57.076
Now, i'm not saying that
00:21:58.111 --> 00:21:59.045
Now, i'm not saying that there's a correlation,
00:21:59.112 --> 00:22:01.514
There's a correlation, but i am saying that
00:22:01.581 --> 00:22:02.248
But i am saying that one of 'em got married
00:22:02.315 --> 00:22:03.216
One of 'em got married and two of 'em moved out.
00:22:03.282 --> 00:22:06.018
The point is, god's ways
00:22:08.254 --> 00:22:09.489
The point is, god's ways are not our ways.
00:22:09.555 --> 00:22:11.858
Are not our ways. god's time is not our time.
00:22:11.924 --> 00:22:14.260
God's time is not our time. as high as the heavens
00:22:14.327 --> 00:22:14.994
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
00:22:15.061 --> 00:22:16.295
Are above the earth, so are the ways of god
00:22:16.362 --> 00:22:17.897
So are the ways of god from our ability
00:22:17.964 --> 00:22:19.065
From our ability to understand or comprehend.
00:22:19.132 --> 00:22:20.466
To understand or comprehend. that's why ephesians says,
00:22:20.533 --> 00:22:21.834
That's why ephesians says, "above all that you could ask,
00:22:21.901 --> 00:22:24.704
"above all that you could ask, above all that you could think,
00:22:24.771 --> 00:22:26.038
Above all that you could think, above all that
00:22:26.105 --> 00:22:26.839
Above all that you could imagine."
00:22:26.906 --> 00:22:27.540
You could imagine." but how do you get there?
00:22:27.607 --> 00:22:31.110
But how do you get there? you've got to have
00:22:31.177 --> 00:22:31.944
You've got to have some kingdom currency.
00:22:32.011 --> 00:22:34.680
Some kingdom currency. you've gotta exchange with him.
00:22:34.747 --> 00:22:38.184
You've gotta exchange with him. and what he wants to exchange
00:22:38.251 --> 00:22:39.719
And what he wants to exchange with you is one thing, love.
00:22:39.786 --> 00:22:45.191
With you is one thing, love. whatever you give,
00:22:45.258 --> 00:22:46.726
Whatever you give, give it in love.
00:22:46.793 --> 00:22:48.661
Give it in love. whatever you do,
00:22:48.728 --> 00:22:50.596
Whatever you do, do it in love.
00:22:50.663 --> 00:22:52.231
Do it in love. whatever you say,
00:22:52.298 --> 00:22:53.699
Whatever you say, say it in love.
00:22:53.766 --> 00:22:55.435
Say it in love. whatever you sing,
00:22:55.501 --> 00:22:57.603
Whatever you sing, sing it in love.
00:22:57.670 --> 00:22:59.071
Sing it in love. whatever you think,
00:22:59.138 --> 00:23:00.907
Whatever you think, think it in love.
00:23:00.973 --> 00:23:03.409
Think it in love. because whenever
00:23:03.476 --> 00:23:04.444
Because whenever you're doing it in love,
00:23:04.510 --> 00:23:05.311
You're doing it in love, god says, "i'll take that
00:23:05.378 --> 00:23:06.646
God says, "i'll take that and i'll give you
00:23:06.712 --> 00:23:08.614
And i'll give you what i have in your life."
00:23:08.681 --> 00:23:10.983
[applause]
00:23:11.317 --> 00:23:15.755
Would you stand to your feet?
00:23:16.222 --> 00:23:19.425
Would you stand to your feet? with every head bowed
00:23:19.492 --> 00:23:20.326
With every head bowed and every eye closed,
00:23:20.393 --> 00:23:21.494
And every eye closed, you're in this place today
00:23:21.561 --> 00:23:22.361
You're in this place today and you say,
00:23:22.428 --> 00:23:22.862
And you say, "pastor, i need to increase
00:23:22.929 --> 00:23:25.998
"pastor, i need to increase my currency in the kingdom.
00:23:26.065 --> 00:23:29.268
My currency in the kingdom. i've been struggling
00:23:29.335 --> 00:23:30.269
I've been struggling in my strength,
00:23:30.336 --> 00:23:31.103
In my strength, but i need to move
00:23:31.170 --> 00:23:31.804
But i need to move forward in god's.
00:23:31.871 --> 00:23:34.407
Forward in god's. i've been working on
00:23:34.474 --> 00:23:35.374
I've been working on situations and problems
00:23:35.441 --> 00:23:37.143
Situations and problems in my own understanding,
00:23:37.210 --> 00:23:38.578
In my own understanding, but i need his wisdom,
00:23:38.644 --> 00:23:39.679
But i need his wisdom, his knowledge, his power."
00:23:39.745 --> 00:23:42.248
His knowledge, his power." whatever it happens to be,
00:23:42.315 --> 00:23:43.216
Whatever it happens to be, you need to know god
00:23:43.282 --> 00:23:44.350
You need to know god already understands it.
00:23:44.417 --> 00:23:44.984

To turn it loose and allow him to do it.

And allow him to do it. "you see, pastor,

With all of my mind. i haven't been serving him with

My strengths, my gifts, my talents, and it's time
00:23:57.196 --> 00:23:58.197
My talents, and it's time that i do that."
00:23:58.264 --> 00:23:59.899

There's not a need in this room that you cannot meet.

That you cannot meet. there's not a mountain that
