00:00:14.075 --> 00:00:14.708
Pastor matt hagee: i want you to take out your cell phone,
00:00:14.775 --> 00:00:16.110
To take out your cell phone, because i've prepared notes
00:00:16.177 --> 00:00:18.079
Because i've prepared notes for you that will give you
00:00:18.145 --> 00:00:20.481
For you that will give you the outline of what we're
00:00:20.548 --> 00:00:21.715
The outline of what we're about to cover,
00:00:21.782 --> 00:00:23.050
About to cover, because we will not be able
00:00:23.117 --> 00:00:24.051
Because we will not be able to cover it all.
00:00:24.118 --> 00:00:25.019
To cover it all. so we're going to put
00:00:25.086 --> 00:00:25.653
So we're going to put a qr code up here on
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:26.654
A qr code up here on the screen.
00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:27.922
The screen. you take a picture of that,
00:00:27.988 --> 00:00:29.790
You take a picture of that, and it'll take you to
00:00:29.857 --> 00:00:30.424
And it'll take you to our website.
00:00:30.491 --> 00:00:32.093
Our website. you'll get the outline.
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.195
You'll get the outline. and we'll get to go through
00:00:34.261 --> 00:00:35.129
And we'll get to go through these nine principles through
00:00:35.196 --> 00:00:37.131
These nine principles through the balance of this message.
00:00:37.198 --> 00:00:39.300
The balance of this message. and then you can take it home
00:00:39.366 --> 00:00:40.301
And then you can take it home and continue to study.
00:00:40.367 --> 00:00:42.369
And continue to study. but just as we begin,
00:00:42.436 --> 00:00:43.671
But just as we begin, you need to understand
00:00:43.737 --> 00:00:44.405
You need to understand the first three principles
00:00:44.472 --> 00:00:47.141
The first three principles deal with your relationship
00:00:47.208 --> 00:00:48.809
Deal with your relationship with the lord.
00:00:48.876 --> 00:00:50.578
With the lord. the second three principles,
00:00:50.644 --> 00:00:53.047
The second three principles, principles four,
00:00:53.114 --> 00:00:53.781
Principles four, five and six,
00:00:53.848 --> 00:00:54.882
Five and six, they deal with things that you
00:00:54.949 --> 00:00:56.417
They deal with things that you have to do for yourself.
00:00:56.484 --> 00:01:00.321
Have to do for yourself. things that no one else can do
00:01:00.387 --> 00:01:01.856
Things that no one else can do for you,
00:01:01.922 --> 00:01:02.590
For you, that's your responsibility for
00:01:02.656 --> 00:01:04.058
That's your responsibility for yourself.
00:01:04.125 --> 00:01:05.926
Yourself. principles seven, eight,
00:01:05.993 --> 00:01:06.894
Principles seven, eight, and nine are three principles
00:01:06.961 --> 00:01:08.662
And nine are three principles that deal with
00:01:08.729 --> 00:01:09.296
That deal with your relationship with others.
00:01:09.363 --> 00:01:11.065
Your relationship with others. because remember,
00:01:11.132 --> 00:01:11.732
Because remember, prosperity is not about you.
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.400
Prosperity is not about you. prosperity is about what god
00:01:13.467 --> 00:01:14.835
Prosperity is about what god wants to do through you
00:01:14.902 --> 00:01:16.437
Wants to do through you for others.
00:01:16.504 --> 00:01:19.206
For others. so let's begin.
00:01:19.273 --> 00:01:20.508
So let's begin. principle one,
00:01:20.574 --> 00:01:22.543
Principle one, before you can prosper,
00:01:22.610 --> 00:01:24.011
Before you can prosper, you have to maintain
00:01:24.078 --> 00:01:25.713
You have to maintain a holy fear of god.
00:01:25.779 --> 00:01:28.649
A holy fear of god. [amen.]
00:01:28.716 --> 00:01:30.184
[amen.] a holy fear of god.
00:01:30.251 --> 00:01:33.587
A holy fear of god. not a natural fear of god,
00:01:33.654 --> 00:01:35.523
Not a natural fear of god, but a reverent fear of god.
00:01:35.589 --> 00:01:39.260
But a reverent fear of god. according to
00:01:39.326 --> 00:01:40.094
According to the proverbs 9:10,
00:01:40.161 --> 00:01:42.196
The proverbs 9:10, it says,
00:01:42.263 --> 00:01:42.730
It says, "the fear of the lord
00:01:42.796 --> 00:01:44.098
"the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom."
00:01:44.165 --> 00:01:45.666
Is the beginning of wisdom." say that with me.
00:01:45.733 --> 00:01:46.734
Say that with me. "the fear of the lord
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:48.636
"the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom."
00:01:48.702 --> 00:01:50.504
Is the beginning of wisdom." you will not know what to do
00:01:50.571 --> 00:01:52.406
You will not know what to do unless you maintain a proper,
00:01:52.473 --> 00:01:54.441
Unless you maintain a proper, healthy and holy fear of god.
00:01:54.508 --> 00:01:57.678
Healthy and holy fear of god. why?
00:01:57.745 --> 00:01:58.179
Why? because the fear of the lord
00:01:58.245 --> 00:01:59.346
Because the fear of the lord is what gives you the desire
00:01:59.413 --> 00:02:00.881
Is what gives you the desire to obey.
00:02:00.948 --> 00:02:02.316
To obey. [that's right.]
00:02:02.383 --> 00:02:03.684
[that's right.] it's where obedience begins.
00:02:03.751 --> 00:02:06.954
It's where obedience begins. it's not where obedience
00:02:07.021 --> 00:02:08.255
It's not where obedience remains,
00:02:08.322 --> 00:02:09.823
Remains, but it's where obedience
00:02:09.890 --> 00:02:11.258
But it's where obedience begins.
00:02:11.325 --> 00:02:12.626
Begins. many christians don't begin
00:02:12.693 --> 00:02:14.328
Many christians don't begin with a holy and healthy fear
00:02:14.395 --> 00:02:15.629
With a holy and healthy fear of god,
00:02:15.696 --> 00:02:16.363
Of god, and therefore they can't get
00:02:16.430 --> 00:02:17.765
And therefore they can't get where they need to go.
00:02:17.831 --> 00:02:19.733
Where they need to go. if there's one message
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:20.768
If there's one message that is not taught often
00:02:20.834 --> 00:02:22.203
That is not taught often and is not very popular
00:02:22.269 --> 00:02:23.771
And is not very popular in the american church today,
00:02:23.837 --> 00:02:25.406
In the american church today, it's the fear of the lord.
00:02:25.472 --> 00:02:27.908
It's the fear of the lord. [amen.]
00:02:27.975 --> 00:02:28.842
[amen.] if we say we're going to talk
00:02:28.909 --> 00:02:29.743
If we say we're going to talk about the love of god,
00:02:29.810 --> 00:02:30.878
About the love of god, the joy of the lord,
00:02:30.945 --> 00:02:31.912
The joy of the lord, the sea-walking,
00:02:31.979 --> 00:02:32.913
The sea-walking, mountain-moving,
00:02:32.980 --> 00:02:33.714
Mountain-moving, way-making jesus,
00:02:33.781 --> 00:02:35.182
Way-making jesus, everybody's excited for
00:02:35.249 --> 00:02:36.383
Everybody's excited for that series.
00:02:36.450 --> 00:02:37.084
That series. but talk about the fear of
00:02:37.151 --> 00:02:38.452
But talk about the fear of the lord and they will say,
00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:39.954
The lord and they will say, "no, thank you."
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:41.388
"no, thank you." [that's right.]
00:02:41.455 --> 00:02:43.857
[that's right.] but you can't read the bible
00:02:43.924 --> 00:02:45.259
But you can't read the bible and not understand that god is
00:02:45.326 --> 00:02:46.827
And not understand that god is not a judge that should be
00:02:46.894 --> 00:02:48.629
Not a judge that should be feared.
00:02:48.696 --> 00:02:50.030
Feared. he judged every generation.
00:02:50.097 --> 00:02:52.666
He judged every generation. if you want to see
00:02:52.733 --> 00:02:53.300
If you want to see new testament judgment,
00:02:53.367 --> 00:02:54.802
New testament judgment, may i remind you of a place
00:02:54.868 --> 00:02:56.337
May i remind you of a place called calvary.
00:02:56.403 --> 00:02:58.906
Called calvary. because it was there that we
00:02:58.973 --> 00:02:59.974
Because it was there that we see the judgment of god poured
00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.575
See the judgment of god poured out upon one for the sins
00:03:01.642 --> 00:03:04.044
Out upon one for the sins of all.
00:03:04.111 --> 00:03:05.379
Of all. if you want to know something
00:03:05.446 --> 00:03:06.413
If you want to know something powerful about judgment,
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:07.815
Powerful about judgment, go to a place called calvary
00:03:07.881 --> 00:03:09.683
Go to a place called calvary and recognize that the nails
00:03:09.750 --> 00:03:11.318
And recognize that the nails that he drove into the hands
00:03:11.385 --> 00:03:12.720
That he drove into the hands of his only begotten were
00:03:12.786 --> 00:03:14.154
Of his only begotten were so that you who were captive
00:03:14.221 --> 00:03:15.589
So that you who were captive to sin could be set free.
00:03:15.656 --> 00:03:17.358
To sin could be set free. why?
00:03:17.424 --> 00:03:18.058
Why? not just because god loves me,
00:03:18.125 --> 00:03:20.060
Not just because god loves me, but because god,
00:03:20.127 --> 00:03:21.128
But because god, a righteous judge,
00:03:21.195 --> 00:03:22.496
A righteous judge, paid the penalty of death
00:03:22.563 --> 00:03:24.298
Paid the penalty of death that was stacked against me.
00:03:24.365 --> 00:03:26.100
That was stacked against me. he pardoned me because he sent
00:03:26.166 --> 00:03:27.968
He pardoned me because he sent someone to the execution
00:03:28.035 --> 00:03:29.570
Someone to the execution chamber for me.
00:03:29.637 --> 00:03:30.771
Chamber for me. and now i don't have to die,
00:03:30.838 --> 00:03:32.640
And now i don't have to die, but i can have a life more
00:03:32.706 --> 00:03:33.874
But i can have a life more abundantly.
00:03:33.941 --> 00:03:34.842
Abundantly. because jesus christ lives,
00:03:34.908 --> 00:03:36.577
Because jesus christ lives, so shall i live.
00:03:36.644 --> 00:03:38.078
So shall i live. give the lord a handclap
00:03:38.145 --> 00:03:39.413
Give the lord a handclap of praise.
00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:41.081
Of praise. (applause)
00:03:41.148 --> 00:03:45.319
(applause) if there's one thing i don't
00:03:45.386 --> 00:03:46.820
If there's one thing i don't think we do enough of
00:03:46.887 --> 00:03:48.155
Think we do enough of in our daily lives,
00:03:48.222 --> 00:03:49.523
In our daily lives, it's thank god for jesus.
00:03:49.590 --> 00:03:51.959
It's thank god for jesus. [amen.]
00:03:52.026 --> 00:03:52.660
[amen.] [amen.]
00:03:52.726 --> 00:03:53.694
[amen.] and what should we be thanking
00:03:53.761 --> 00:03:54.561
And what should we be thanking him for?
00:03:54.628 --> 00:03:55.396
Him for? that he judged jesus on our
00:03:55.462 --> 00:03:57.798
That he judged jesus on our behalf.
00:03:57.865 --> 00:03:59.433
Behalf. [thank you, father.]
00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:00.901
[thank you, father.] new testament judgment is not
00:04:00.968 --> 00:04:02.536
New testament judgment is not only found at the cross.
00:04:02.603 --> 00:04:03.570
Only found at the cross. it's found in the 1st century
00:04:03.637 --> 00:04:04.672
It's found in the 1st century church.
00:04:04.738 --> 00:04:05.205
Church. look at ananias and sapphira.
00:04:05.272 --> 00:04:08.075
Look at ananias and sapphira. ananias and sapphira were
00:04:08.142 --> 00:04:09.310
Ananias and sapphira were members in good standing.
00:04:09.376 --> 00:04:11.879
Members in good standing. they were considered leaders
00:04:11.945 --> 00:04:13.047
They were considered leaders in the church.
00:04:13.113 --> 00:04:15.282
In the church. but they wanted to be
00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:16.016
But they wanted to be recognized for giving,
00:04:16.083 --> 00:04:18.786
Recognized for giving, rather than just give so that
00:04:18.852 --> 00:04:20.421
Rather than just give so that the church could be blessed.
00:04:20.487 --> 00:04:23.257
The church could be blessed. so they sold a piece of
00:04:23.324 --> 00:04:24.191
So they sold a piece of property and they kept
00:04:24.258 --> 00:04:25.125
Property and they kept a portion of the proceeds
00:04:25.192 --> 00:04:26.660
A portion of the proceeds for themselves.
00:04:26.727 --> 00:04:27.561
For themselves. and then they came and they
00:04:27.628 --> 00:04:28.729
And then they came and they told the church,
00:04:28.796 --> 00:04:29.396
Told the church, "look at this huge gift
00:04:29.463 --> 00:04:30.631
"look at this huge gift we're giving.
00:04:30.698 --> 00:04:31.398
We're giving. we want everyone to celebrate
00:04:31.465 --> 00:04:32.933
We want everyone to celebrate with us,
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:33.467
With us, because it's all the money
00:04:33.534 --> 00:04:34.702
Because it's all the money we got for the land."
00:04:34.768 --> 00:04:37.204
We got for the land." now, here's the problem.
00:04:37.271 --> 00:04:38.539
Now, here's the problem. while they thought they were
00:04:38.605 --> 00:04:39.606
While they thought they were lying in order to make
00:04:39.673 --> 00:04:40.574
Lying in order to make themselves look good in front
00:04:40.641 --> 00:04:41.709
Themselves look good in front of men,
00:04:41.775 --> 00:04:42.376
Of men, they weren't lying to peter
00:04:42.443 --> 00:04:43.610
They weren't lying to peter and john.
00:04:43.677 --> 00:04:44.278
And john. they were lying to
00:04:44.345 --> 00:04:44.978
They were lying to god almighty.
00:04:45.045 --> 00:04:47.648
God almighty. that land was his.
00:04:47.715 --> 00:04:49.483
That land was his. the earth is the lord's.
00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:51.151
The earth is the lord's. [yes.]
00:04:51.218 --> 00:04:52.052
[yes.] those proceeds were nothing
00:04:52.119 --> 00:04:53.420
Those proceeds were nothing they could hide from god.
00:04:53.487 --> 00:04:57.124
They could hide from god. so when ananias, the husband,
00:04:57.191 --> 00:04:58.659
So when ananias, the husband, showed up,
00:04:58.726 --> 00:04:59.560
Showed up, and he said,
00:04:59.626 --> 00:05:00.027
And he said, "here's all of the money
00:05:00.094 --> 00:05:01.061
"here's all of the money we brought,"
00:05:01.128 --> 00:05:01.695
We brought," peter said,
00:05:01.762 --> 00:05:02.329
Peter said, "is this all of the money?"
00:05:02.396 --> 00:05:03.630
"is this all of the money?" and ananias lied to the lord.
00:05:03.697 --> 00:05:05.232
And ananias lied to the lord. he said, "yes, it is,"
00:05:05.299 --> 00:05:06.333
He said, "yes, it is," and he dropped dead
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:07.634
And he dropped dead right there in the sanctuary.
00:05:07.701 --> 00:05:09.403
Right there in the sanctuary. [that's right.]
00:05:09.470 --> 00:05:11.271
[that's right.] they drug him out.
00:05:11.338 --> 00:05:13.607
They drug him out. and his wife came by
00:05:13.674 --> 00:05:16.176
And his wife came by and said,
00:05:16.243 --> 00:05:16.443
And said, "did ananias come in?"
00:05:16.510 --> 00:05:17.578
"did ananias come in?" they said,
00:05:17.644 --> 00:05:18.011
They said, "well, as a matter of fact
00:05:18.078 --> 00:05:18.746
"well, as a matter of fact he just dropped by."
00:05:18.812 --> 00:05:20.547
He just dropped by." (laughter)
00:05:20.614 --> 00:05:23.851
(laughter) and they asked her
00:05:23.917 --> 00:05:24.418
And they asked her the same question.
00:05:24.485 --> 00:05:26.320
The same question. "is this everything that you
00:05:26.387 --> 00:05:27.254
"is this everything that you received?"
00:05:27.321 --> 00:05:28.622
Received?" she said,
00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:29.123
She said, "indeed it is."
00:05:29.189 --> 00:05:29.923
"indeed it is." (snapped fingers)
00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:30.924
(snapped fingers) she took her last breath
00:05:30.991 --> 00:05:31.725
She took her last breath right there.
00:05:31.792 --> 00:05:32.493
Right there. and the bible says that
00:05:32.559 --> 00:05:33.527
And the bible says that two things happened.
00:05:33.594 --> 00:05:34.528
Two things happened. one,
00:05:34.595 --> 00:05:35.195
One, great fear came upon
00:05:35.262 --> 00:05:36.797
Great fear came upon the entire church.
00:05:36.864 --> 00:05:38.866
The entire church. trust me,
00:05:38.932 --> 00:05:39.366
Trust me, if god instantaneously judged
00:05:39.433 --> 00:05:41.435
If god instantaneously judged sin like that here today,
00:05:41.502 --> 00:05:43.237
Sin like that here today, great fear would come upon
00:05:43.303 --> 00:05:44.838
Great fear would come upon the entire church.
00:05:44.905 --> 00:05:46.473
The entire church. [that's right.]
00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:48.208
[that's right.] and the church grew.
00:05:48.275 --> 00:05:51.078
And the church grew. why?
00:05:51.145 --> 00:05:51.678
Why? because they knew that there
00:05:51.745 --> 00:05:52.713
Because they knew that there was a god who was serious
00:05:52.780 --> 00:05:54.081
Was a god who was serious about keeping his promises.
00:05:54.148 --> 00:05:55.849
About keeping his promises. [amen.]
00:05:55.916 --> 00:05:56.750
[amen.] so that takes us to
00:05:56.817 --> 00:05:57.351
So that takes us to the second principle.
00:05:57.418 --> 00:05:59.319
The second principle. make the right decision,
00:05:59.386 --> 00:06:01.655
Make the right decision, even when it's hard.
00:06:01.722 --> 00:06:04.491
Even when it's hard. make the right decision
00:06:04.558 --> 00:06:06.226
Make the right decision even when it's hard.
00:06:06.293 --> 00:06:07.127
Even when it's hard. this is the issue of sin,
00:06:07.194 --> 00:06:09.496
This is the issue of sin, because that's really
00:06:09.563 --> 00:06:10.431
Because that's really the answer to righteous
00:06:10.497 --> 00:06:11.532
The answer to righteous versus unrighteous living.
00:06:11.598 --> 00:06:12.666
Versus unrighteous living. righteous living is making
00:06:12.733 --> 00:06:14.001
Righteous living is making the right decision,
00:06:14.067 --> 00:06:14.968
The right decision, even when it's hard,
00:06:15.035 --> 00:06:16.003
Even when it's hard, and unrighteous living is just
00:06:16.069 --> 00:06:17.371
And unrighteous living is just doing what you want,
00:06:17.438 --> 00:06:18.238
Doing what you want, whether it's right or wrong.
00:06:18.305 --> 00:06:21.275
Whether it's right or wrong. james said it this way:
00:06:21.341 --> 00:06:22.776
James said it this way: "to him who knows to do right,
00:06:22.843 --> 00:06:24.244
"to him who knows to do right, and does it not,
00:06:24.311 --> 00:06:25.045
And does it not, to him it is sin."
00:06:25.112 --> 00:06:28.549
To him it is sin." god expects us to do
00:06:28.615 --> 00:06:29.616
God expects us to do the right thing in these areas
00:06:29.683 --> 00:06:31.251
The right thing in these areas of our life physically.
00:06:31.318 --> 00:06:33.587
Of our life physically. 1 corinthians 9:27,
00:06:33.654 --> 00:06:35.322
1 corinthians 9:27, "i discipline my body into
00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:36.757
"i discipline my body into submission lest i preach
00:06:36.824 --> 00:06:38.759
Submission lest i preach and end disqualified."
00:06:38.826 --> 00:06:40.928
And end disqualified." financially,
00:06:40.994 --> 00:06:42.563
Financially, god said,
00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:43.230
God said, "bring all of the tithe into
00:06:43.297 --> 00:06:44.765
"bring all of the tithe into the storehouse,"
00:06:44.832 --> 00:06:45.566
The storehouse," malachi 3:10,
00:06:45.632 --> 00:06:47.034
Malachi 3:10, "that there may be food
00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:48.068
"that there may be food in my house."
00:06:48.135 --> 00:06:48.969
In my house." and then god challenges us.
00:06:49.036 --> 00:06:50.838
And then god challenges us. he says,
00:06:50.904 --> 00:06:51.338
He says, "try me now in this and see if
00:06:51.405 --> 00:06:53.240
"try me now in this and see if i will not open up the windows
00:06:53.307 --> 00:06:54.908
I will not open up the windows of heaven and pour out upon
00:06:54.975 --> 00:06:56.510
Of heaven and pour out upon you blessings to where
00:06:56.577 --> 00:06:58.045
You blessings to where there is not room enough
00:06:58.111 --> 00:06:59.246
There is not room enough to receive it."
00:06:59.313 --> 00:06:59.947
To receive it." that's god's guarantee to
00:07:00.013 --> 00:07:01.381
That's god's guarantee to those who do the right thing
00:07:01.448 --> 00:07:03.016
Those who do the right thing financially.
00:07:03.083 --> 00:07:04.518
Financially. [that's right.]
00:07:04.585 --> 00:07:05.118
[that's right.] god wants us to do the right
00:07:05.185 --> 00:07:06.019
God wants us to do the right thing in our relationships.
00:07:06.086 --> 00:07:09.156
Thing in our relationships. and people say,
00:07:09.223 --> 00:07:09.623
And people say, "well, that's complicated.
00:07:09.690 --> 00:07:10.624
"well, that's complicated. there's a lot of issues
00:07:10.691 --> 00:07:11.758
There's a lot of issues there."
00:07:11.825 --> 00:07:12.159
There." no, it's not really
00:07:12.226 --> 00:07:12.793
No, it's not really complicated when you look at
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:13.794
Complicated when you look at it from heaven's perspective.
00:07:13.861 --> 00:07:15.329
It from heaven's perspective. ephesians 4:32,
00:07:15.395 --> 00:07:17.297
Ephesians 4:32, here's what it says:
00:07:17.364 --> 00:07:18.332
Here's what it says: "be kind to one another."
00:07:18.398 --> 00:07:21.001
"be kind to one another." say that to me.
00:07:21.068 --> 00:07:22.069
Say that to me. "be kind to one another."
00:07:22.135 --> 00:07:25.105
"be kind to one another." and it says,
00:07:25.172 --> 00:07:25.472
And it says, "tenderhearted,
00:07:25.539 --> 00:07:26.707
"tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as
00:07:26.773 --> 00:07:28.976
Forgiving one another even as christ forgave you."
00:07:29.042 --> 00:07:31.979
Christ forgave you." [that's right.]
00:07:32.045 --> 00:07:32.579
[that's right.] 99.9% of your relationship
00:07:32.646 --> 00:07:35.649
99.9% of your relationship issues would disappear
00:07:35.716 --> 00:07:36.884
Issues would disappear overnight if you could be
00:07:36.950 --> 00:07:38.685
Overnight if you could be kind,
00:07:38.752 --> 00:07:39.820
Kind, tenderhearted and forgive.
00:07:39.887 --> 00:07:43.123
Tenderhearted and forgive. [amen.]
00:07:43.190 --> 00:07:44.057
[amen.] people say,
00:07:44.124 --> 00:07:44.691
People say, "well, i don't--
00:07:44.758 --> 00:07:45.425
"well, i don't-- i don't think you understand
00:07:45.492 --> 00:07:46.260
I don't think you understand what they did to me.
00:07:46.326 --> 00:07:46.994
What they did to me. i don't think you understand
00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:48.228
I don't think you understand how they treated me.
00:07:48.295 --> 00:07:49.530
How they treated me. you want me to be kind
00:07:49.596 --> 00:07:50.898
You want me to be kind to them?
00:07:50.964 --> 00:07:51.298
To them? they were mean to me.
00:07:51.365 --> 00:07:52.299
They were mean to me. you want me to be
00:07:52.366 --> 00:07:52.799
You want me to be tenderhearted to them?
00:07:52.866 --> 00:07:53.967
Tenderhearted to them? they didn't show me any mercy.
00:07:54.034 --> 00:07:55.369
They didn't show me any mercy. you want me to forgive them?
00:07:55.435 --> 00:07:56.603
You want me to forgive them? what they did is
00:07:56.670 --> 00:07:57.070
What they did is unforgivable."
00:07:57.137 --> 00:08:00.407
Unforgivable." well see, that would be
00:08:00.474 --> 00:08:01.208
Well see, that would be a good argument if it said,
00:08:01.275 --> 00:08:02.543
A good argument if it said, "be kind and tenderhearted,
00:08:02.609 --> 00:08:04.344
"be kind and tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
00:08:04.411 --> 00:08:05.078
Forgiving one another, even as pastor matt has
00:08:05.145 --> 00:08:06.914
Even as pastor matt has forgiven you."
00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:09.082
Forgiven you." but that's not what it says.
00:08:09.149 --> 00:08:11.118
But that's not what it says. it says,
00:08:11.184 --> 00:08:11.618
It says, "if you want to know how you
00:08:11.685 --> 00:08:12.486
"if you want to know how you should treat others,
00:08:12.553 --> 00:08:13.654
Should treat others, you should treat others
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.155
You should treat others the way that jesus christ
00:08:15.222 --> 00:08:16.990
The way that jesus christ has treated you."
00:08:17.057 --> 00:08:18.559
Has treated you." [amen.]
00:08:18.625 --> 00:08:19.026
[amen.] when you didn't love jesus,
00:08:19.092 --> 00:08:20.160
When you didn't love jesus, jesus still loved you.
00:08:20.227 --> 00:08:22.095
Jesus still loved you. when you weren't tender
00:08:22.162 --> 00:08:23.030
When you weren't tender towards jesus,
00:08:23.096 --> 00:08:23.864
Towards jesus, when you didn't thank him
00:08:23.931 --> 00:08:25.132
When you didn't thank him for the beautiful day
00:08:25.198 --> 00:08:25.966
For the beautiful day that he created,
00:08:26.033 --> 00:08:27.034
That he created, when you got up complaining
00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:28.468
When you got up complaining instead of praising,
00:08:28.535 --> 00:08:29.603
Instead of praising, god was still tenderhearted
00:08:29.670 --> 00:08:31.071
God was still tenderhearted towards you.
00:08:31.138 --> 00:08:31.705
Towards you. he was compassionate.
00:08:31.772 --> 00:08:32.773
He was compassionate. he understood,
00:08:32.839 --> 00:08:33.807
He understood, "you might not be at
00:08:33.874 --> 00:08:34.641
"you might not be at your best,
00:08:34.708 --> 00:08:35.309
Your best, but i'm still going to show
00:08:35.375 --> 00:08:36.410
But i'm still going to show you what a gracious god
00:08:36.476 --> 00:08:37.811
You what a gracious god i can be."
00:08:37.878 --> 00:08:38.645
I can be." and when you didn't deserve
00:08:38.712 --> 00:08:40.047
And when you didn't deserve forgiveness,
00:08:40.113 --> 00:08:40.747
Forgiveness, not only did he forgive you,
00:08:40.814 --> 00:08:42.282
Not only did he forgive you, but he didn't hold it
00:08:42.349 --> 00:08:43.450
But he didn't hold it against you,
00:08:43.517 --> 00:08:44.318
Against you, which is why you and jesus
00:08:44.384 --> 00:08:45.886
Which is why you and jesus can be in relationship today.
00:08:45.953 --> 00:08:47.821
Can be in relationship today. you see,
00:08:47.888 --> 00:08:48.288
You see, you and jesus aren't in
00:08:48.355 --> 00:08:49.456
You and jesus aren't in relationship today
00:08:49.523 --> 00:08:50.490
Relationship today because you love him.
00:08:50.557 --> 00:08:52.059
Because you love him. you're in relationship
00:08:52.125 --> 00:08:53.160
You're in relationship because he loves you.
00:08:53.226 --> 00:08:54.928
Because he loves you. so when you start treating
00:08:54.995 --> 00:08:56.063
So when you start treating others like jesus treats you,
00:08:56.129 --> 00:08:58.031
Others like jesus treats you, you're going to find that
00:08:58.098 --> 00:08:58.765
You're going to find that your relationship issues
00:08:58.832 --> 00:09:00.100
Your relationship issues get cleared up real quick.
00:09:00.167 --> 00:09:03.437
Get cleared up real quick. (applause)
00:09:03.503 --> 00:09:08.108
(applause) he wants us to do
00:09:08.175 --> 00:09:08.775
He wants us to do the right thing,
00:09:08.842 --> 00:09:10.544
The right thing, not only in our relationships,
00:09:10.611 --> 00:09:11.778
Not only in our relationships, but with our service to
00:09:11.845 --> 00:09:12.713
But with our service to his kingdom.
00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:14.481
His kingdom. every one of us are called
00:09:14.548 --> 00:09:15.816
Every one of us are called to serve somewhere
00:09:15.882 --> 00:09:16.883
To serve somewhere in his kingdom.
00:09:16.950 --> 00:09:19.686
In his kingdom. jesus told his disciples,
00:09:19.753 --> 00:09:21.221
Jesus told his disciples, "the greatest among you
00:09:21.288 --> 00:09:22.022
"the greatest among you is the servant of all."
00:09:22.089 --> 00:09:24.391
Is the servant of all." we are called to serve,
00:09:24.458 --> 00:09:25.692
We are called to serve, not to be served.
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.994
Not to be served. [yes.]
00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:28.495
[yes.] people say,
00:09:28.562 --> 00:09:28.862
People say, "well, i just don't know where
00:09:28.929 --> 00:09:29.696
"well, i just don't know where to serve?"
00:09:29.763 --> 00:09:30.430
To serve?" romans 11:29 will help you
00:09:30.497 --> 00:09:32.299
Romans 11:29 will help you figure it out.
00:09:32.366 --> 00:09:32.766
Figure it out. it says,
00:09:32.833 --> 00:09:33.367
It says, "the giftings and calling of
00:09:33.433 --> 00:09:34.801
"the giftings and calling of god are irrevocable."
00:09:34.868 --> 00:09:37.304
God are irrevocable." that means that god has given

To each of us something that you cannot give back.
00:09:39.906 --> 00:09:42.476
You cannot give back. it's yours,

It's yours, whether you want it or not.
00:09:44.611 --> 00:09:46.413
Whether you want it or not. now, what's your
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.014
Now, what's your irrevocable gift?
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:47.948
Irrevocable gift? what's the one thing that

What's the one thing that you can't give back?
00:09:48.949 --> 00:09:50.183
You can't give back? it doesn't matter whether
00:09:50.250 --> 00:09:50.917
It doesn't matter whether or not you try to get away
00:09:50.984 --> 00:09:52.119
Or not you try to get away from it.
00:09:52.185 --> 00:09:52.452
From it. you're always thinking
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:53.086
You're always thinking about it.
00:09:53.153 --> 00:09:53.587
About it. for some of you,
00:09:53.654 --> 00:09:54.221
For some of you, it's organization.
00:09:54.287 --> 00:09:55.355
It's organization. for some of you,
00:09:55.422 --> 00:09:55.889
For some of you, it's leadership.
00:09:55.956 --> 00:09:56.623
It's leadership. for some of you,
00:09:56.690 --> 00:09:57.391
For some of you, it's how something can be done
00:09:57.457 --> 00:09:58.825
It's how something can be done better that you see
00:09:58.892 --> 00:09:59.593
Better that you see in the church.
00:09:59.660 --> 00:10:00.293
In the church. some people come up to me,
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.261
Some people come up to me, and they're like,
00:10:01.328 --> 00:10:01.762
And they're like, "do you know what's wrong with
00:10:01.828 --> 00:10:02.396
"do you know what's wrong with your parking lot ?"
00:10:02.462 --> 00:10:03.063
Your parking lot ?" i'm like,
00:10:03.130 --> 00:10:03.597
I'm like, "it's yours to solve,
00:10:03.664 --> 00:10:04.431
"it's yours to solve, because that's your
00:10:04.498 --> 00:10:04.998
Because that's your irrevocable gift."
00:10:05.065 --> 00:10:06.967
Irrevocable gift." (laughter & applause)
00:10:07.034 --> 00:10:10.003
(laughter & applause) after we hear that the gifts
00:10:10.070 --> 00:10:11.605
After we hear that the gifts and the calling
00:10:11.672 --> 00:10:12.372
And the calling are irrevocable,
00:10:12.439 --> 00:10:13.507
Are irrevocable, it says,
00:10:13.573 --> 00:10:13.974
It says, "present your bodies
00:10:14.041 --> 00:10:15.075
"present your bodies as a living sacrifice,
00:10:15.142 --> 00:10:16.643
As a living sacrifice, because this is your
00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:17.978
Because this is your reasonable service."
00:10:18.045 --> 00:10:22.015
Reasonable service." the point is when you're
00:10:22.082 --> 00:10:24.084
The point is when you're willing to do the right thing,
00:10:24.151 --> 00:10:25.352
Willing to do the right thing, even when it's hard,
00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:26.520
Even when it's hard, you're putting yourself
00:10:26.586 --> 00:10:27.287
You're putting yourself in position to receive.
00:10:27.354 --> 00:10:30.390
In position to receive. now, this deals with
00:10:30.457 --> 00:10:31.058
Now, this deals with the sin issue.
00:10:31.124 --> 00:10:32.559
The sin issue. principle three deals with
00:10:32.626 --> 00:10:34.161
Principle three deals with probably the most important
00:10:34.227 --> 00:10:35.228
Probably the most important issue that has to do with
00:10:35.295 --> 00:10:36.730
Issue that has to do with getting you in position
00:10:36.797 --> 00:10:37.964
Getting you in position to receive from god,
00:10:38.031 --> 00:10:39.232
To receive from god, and that's the repentance
00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:40.200
And that's the repentance issue.
00:10:40.267 --> 00:10:43.170
Issue. you need to repent
00:10:43.236 --> 00:10:45.138
You need to repent on a regular basis.
00:10:45.205 --> 00:10:47.207
On a regular basis. [amen.]
00:10:47.274 --> 00:10:49.009
[amen.] people hear the "r" word
00:10:49.076 --> 00:10:50.410
People hear the "r" word and they think it means
00:10:50.477 --> 00:10:51.244
And they think it means something's wrong.
00:10:51.311 --> 00:10:52.345
Something's wrong. no.
00:10:52.412 --> 00:10:52.913
No. when you repent,
00:10:52.979 --> 00:10:53.814

00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:58.151
[yes.] jesus talked about repentance
00:10:58.218 --> 00:11:00.120
Jesus talked about repentance on a daily basis.
00:11:00.187 --> 00:11:01.888
On a daily basis. you find it in
00:11:01.955 --> 00:11:02.456
You find it in the lord's prayer.
00:11:02.522 --> 00:11:03.757
The lord's prayer. he said,
00:11:03.824 --> 00:11:04.224
He said, "give us this day our--" what?"
00:11:04.291 --> 00:11:06.393
"give us this day our--" what?" "--daily bread."
00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:07.828
"--daily bread." now, this is not
00:11:07.894 --> 00:11:08.795
Now, this is not earthly bread,
00:11:08.862 --> 00:11:09.663
Earthly bread, as much as it is
00:11:09.730 --> 00:11:10.497
As much as it is kingdom bread.
00:11:10.564 --> 00:11:12.199
Kingdom bread. and he said,
00:11:12.265 --> 00:11:12.733
And he said, "and forgive us our debts,
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.969
"and forgive us our debts, as we forgive those who have
00:11:16.036 --> 00:11:17.504
As we forgive those who have trespassed against us."
00:11:17.571 --> 00:11:19.473
Trespassed against us." [that's right.]
00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:21.341
[that's right.] the receiving of your daily
00:11:21.408 --> 00:11:22.743
The receiving of your daily spiritual bread requires that
00:11:22.809 --> 00:11:24.611
Spiritual bread requires that not only are you forgiven for
00:11:24.678 --> 00:11:26.179
Not only are you forgiven for the things that you didn't
00:11:26.246 --> 00:11:27.214
The things that you didn't do right,
00:11:27.280 --> 00:11:27.781
Do right, but that you forgive others
00:11:27.848 --> 00:11:28.815
But that you forgive others for what they didn't do right.
00:11:28.882 --> 00:11:31.251
For what they didn't do right. [amen.]

[amen.] and the fact that we need it
00:11:32.719 --> 00:11:33.553
And the fact that we need it on a daily basis proves that
00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:35.222
On a daily basis proves that we're just natural
00:11:35.288 --> 00:11:36.123
We're just natural and carnal men.
00:11:36.189 --> 00:11:37.023
And carnal men. don't beat yourself up
00:11:37.090 --> 00:11:38.291
Don't beat yourself up because you need repentance.
00:11:38.358 --> 00:11:39.826
Because you need repentance. thank god that he's willing to
00:11:39.893 --> 00:11:41.194

00:14:21.821 --> 00:14:23.156
Of voice when your kids call your name and they need to
00:14:23.223 --> 00:14:24.124
Your name and they need to talk?
00:14:24.190 --> 00:14:24.958
Talk? [oh, yeah.]
00:14:25.025 --> 00:14:25.926
[oh, yeah.] "hey, dad."
00:14:25.992 --> 00:14:27.527
"hey, dad." (laughter)
00:14:27.594 --> 00:14:28.395
(laughter) and you're like, "oh."
00:14:28.461 --> 00:14:29.462
And you're like, "oh." (slumps his shoulders)
00:14:29.529 --> 00:14:30.263
(slumps his shoulders) [oh, yeah.]
00:14:30.330 --> 00:14:31.097
[oh, yeah.] "yes?"
00:14:31.164 --> 00:14:32.232
"yes?" (laughter)
00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:33.934
(laughter) and sometimes we take these
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.068
And sometimes we take these attributes and we put them
00:14:35.135 --> 00:14:36.102
Attributes and we put them on our relationship with god,
00:14:36.169 --> 00:14:37.337
On our relationship with god, but god is so much better than
00:14:37.404 --> 00:14:38.805
But god is so much better than any earthly father that you've
00:14:38.872 --> 00:14:40.106
Any earthly father that you've ever known.
00:14:40.173 --> 00:14:41.541
Ever known. [amen.]
00:14:41.608 --> 00:14:42.175
[amen.] no matter how wonderful
00:14:42.242 --> 00:14:43.643
No matter how wonderful or how horrible it was.
00:14:43.710 --> 00:14:47.180
Or how horrible it was. and the bible says this,
00:14:47.247 --> 00:14:48.214
And the bible says this, in 1 john;
00:14:48.281 --> 00:14:49.649
In 1 john; it says,
00:14:49.716 --> 00:14:50.116
It says, "if we will confess our sins,
00:14:50.183 --> 00:14:52.385
"if we will confess our sins, he is faithful and just
00:14:52.452 --> 00:14:53.787
He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
00:14:53.853 --> 00:14:55.155
To forgive us our sins and cleanse of
00:14:55.221 --> 00:14:56.323
And cleanse of all unrighteousness."
00:14:56.389 --> 00:14:57.424
All unrighteousness." [somebody say, "thank you."]
00:14:57.490 --> 00:14:58.858
[somebody say, "thank you."] he wants us to call
00:14:58.925 --> 00:15:00.894
He wants us to call upon him in repentance.
00:15:00.961 --> 00:15:02.696
Upon him in repentance. why?
00:15:02.762 --> 00:15:03.563
Why? because he knows what
00:15:03.630 --> 00:15:04.631
Because he knows what repentance qualifies us for.
00:15:04.698 --> 00:15:07.100
Repentance qualifies us for. [amen.]
00:15:07.167 --> 00:15:07.600
[amen.] repentance is what gets us
00:15:07.667 --> 00:15:08.668
Repentance is what gets us right back into position
00:15:08.735 --> 00:15:10.337
Right back into position to receive the blessing
00:15:10.403 --> 00:15:11.504
To receive the blessing that we're looking for.
00:15:11.571 --> 00:15:12.939
That we're looking for. [amen.]
00:15:13.006 --> 00:15:13.506
[amen.] you cannot be in position
00:15:13.573 --> 00:15:15.108
You cannot be in position and be unrepentant.
00:15:15.175 --> 00:15:16.643
And be unrepentant. so when you call upon
00:15:16.710 --> 00:15:17.711
So when you call upon your heavenly father,
00:15:17.777 --> 00:15:18.878
Your heavenly father, and you say,
00:15:18.945 --> 00:15:19.412
And you say, "god, i'm here to repent,"
00:15:19.479 --> 00:15:20.947
"god, i'm here to repent," he goes,
00:15:21.014 --> 00:15:21.448
He goes, "angels, get ready to open up
00:15:21.514 --> 00:15:22.916
"angels, get ready to open up that window of heaven.
00:15:22.983 --> 00:15:24.050
That window of heaven. go ahead and start sending
00:15:24.117 --> 00:15:25.418
Go ahead and start sending exactly what he needs,
00:15:25.485 --> 00:15:26.653
Exactly what he needs, because he's getting right
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:27.587
Because he's getting right back into position with me.
00:15:27.654 --> 00:15:28.955
Back into position with me. he's standing where he needs
00:15:29.022 --> 00:15:30.256
He's standing where he needs to stand to catch what he
00:15:30.323 --> 00:15:31.891
To stand to catch what he needs to catch so that he can
00:15:31.958 --> 00:15:33.126
Needs to catch so that he can receive what he needs
00:15:33.193 --> 00:15:34.060
Receive what he needs to receive."
00:15:34.127 --> 00:15:35.528
To receive." [yes.]
00:15:35.595 --> 00:15:36.129
[yes.] god wants you to repent.
00:15:36.196 --> 00:15:37.630
God wants you to repent. next, repentance is
00:15:37.697 --> 00:15:39.299
Next, repentance is required.
00:15:39.366 --> 00:15:41.601
Required. nobody gets to escape it.
00:15:41.668 --> 00:15:43.503
Nobody gets to escape it. acts 17:30:
00:15:43.570 --> 00:15:44.804
Acts 17:30: "truly these times of
00:15:44.871 --> 00:15:45.805
"truly these times of ignorance god overlooked,
00:15:45.872 --> 00:15:48.608
Ignorance god overlooked, but he commands all men
00:15:48.675 --> 00:15:50.043
But he commands all men everywhere to repent."
00:15:50.110 --> 00:15:52.145
Everywhere to repent." how many men?
00:15:52.212 --> 00:15:53.513
How many men? all.
00:15:53.580 --> 00:15:54.781
All. where?
00:15:54.848 --> 00:15:55.982
Where? everywhere.
00:15:56.049 --> 00:15:57.183
Everywhere. to do what?
00:15:57.250 --> 00:15:58.385
To do what? repent.
00:15:58.451 --> 00:15:59.919
Repent. why do you need to repent?
00:15:59.986 --> 00:16:03.189
Why do you need to repent? because repentance is where
00:16:03.256 --> 00:16:04.357
Because repentance is where you get the opportunity
00:16:04.424 --> 00:16:05.425
You get the opportunity to receive.
00:16:05.492 --> 00:16:08.461
To receive. here's what revelation 3
00:16:08.528 --> 00:16:09.963
Here's what revelation 3 says:
00:16:10.030 --> 00:16:10.430
Says: "as many as i love,
00:16:10.497 --> 00:16:11.231
"as many as i love, i rebuke and chasten."
00:16:11.297 --> 00:16:14.434
I rebuke and chasten." if god has not corrected you,
00:16:14.501 --> 00:16:16.136
If god has not corrected you, god doesn't love you.
00:16:16.202 --> 00:16:21.207
God doesn't love you. i don't care how all the kids
00:16:21.274 --> 00:16:22.575
I don't care how all the kids in the world act.
00:16:22.642 --> 00:16:23.309
In the world act. i care how my kids act.
00:16:23.376 --> 00:16:25.078
I care how my kids act. [that's right.]
00:16:25.145 --> 00:16:25.745
[that's right.] [amen.]
00:16:25.812 --> 00:16:26.379
[amen.] why?
00:16:26.446 --> 00:16:26.980
Why? because i love my kids.
00:16:27.047 --> 00:16:30.016
Because i love my kids. so the bible says,
00:16:30.083 --> 00:16:30.617
So the bible says, "as many as i love,
00:16:30.683 --> 00:16:31.584
"as many as i love, i rebuke and chasten."
00:16:31.651 --> 00:16:34.554
I rebuke and chasten." in revelation 3,
00:16:34.621 --> 00:16:35.722
In revelation 3, jesus said this to
00:16:35.789 --> 00:16:36.623
Jesus said this to john the revelator;
00:16:36.689 --> 00:16:37.357
John the revelator; he said,
00:16:37.424 --> 00:16:38.658
He said, "therefore be zealous
00:16:38.725 --> 00:16:40.727
"therefore be zealous and repent."
00:16:40.794 --> 00:16:43.129
And repent." "be zealous and --" what?
00:16:43.196 --> 00:16:44.764
"be zealous and --" what? "-- repent."
00:16:44.831 --> 00:16:45.732
"-- repent." why?
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:46.933
Why? because i stand at the door
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.268
Because i stand at the door (knocking)
00:16:48.334 --> 00:16:51.071
(knocking) and i knock.
00:16:51.137 --> 00:16:53.306
And i knock. and anyone who hears
00:16:53.373 --> 00:16:54.974
And anyone who hears and opens the door,
00:16:55.041 --> 00:16:56.376
And opens the door, i'll come in and i'll dine
00:16:56.443 --> 00:16:58.244
I'll come in and i'll dine with him.
00:16:58.311 --> 00:16:59.879
With him. there's something about
00:16:59.946 --> 00:17:00.880
There's something about repentance that enables you to
00:17:00.947 --> 00:17:02.248
Repentance that enables you to hear
00:17:02.315 --> 00:17:03.283
Hear (knocking)
00:17:03.349 --> 00:17:04.050

00:17:04.117 --> 00:17:05.952
The knock of jesus christ on the door of your life.
00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:08.321
On the door of your life. i believe that in this room
00:17:08.388 --> 00:17:09.289
I believe that in this room today there are people that
00:17:09.355 --> 00:17:10.657
Today there are people that jesus christ is knocking
00:17:10.723 --> 00:17:11.858
Jesus christ is knocking on their door.
00:17:11.925 --> 00:17:12.892
On their door. (knocking)
00:17:12.959 --> 00:17:14.227
(knocking) knocking constantly, saying,
00:17:14.294 --> 00:17:16.162
Knocking constantly, saying, "if you'll let me in,
00:17:16.229 --> 00:17:17.497
"if you'll let me in, i'll bless your business.
00:17:17.564 --> 00:17:19.032
I'll bless your business. if you let me in,
00:17:19.099 --> 00:17:20.333
If you let me in, i'll resurrect your marriage.
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.901
I'll resurrect your marriage. if you let me in,
00:17:21.968 --> 00:17:23.336
If you let me in, i'll touch your physical
00:17:23.403 --> 00:17:24.437
I'll touch your physical body.
00:17:24.504 --> 00:17:25.038
Body. if you let me in,
00:17:25.105 --> 00:17:26.406
If you let me in, i'll take every burden that's
00:17:26.473 --> 00:17:27.974
I'll take every burden that's been placed upon your life
00:17:28.041 --> 00:17:29.542
Been placed upon your life and i'll remove it.
00:17:29.609 --> 00:17:30.543
And i'll remove it. i'll take that yoke
00:17:30.610 --> 00:17:31.578
I'll take that yoke and i'll destroy it.
00:17:31.644 --> 00:17:32.679
And i'll destroy it. i'll make a way where there
00:17:32.745 --> 00:17:33.780
I'll make a way where there seems to be no way."
00:17:33.847 --> 00:17:35.048
Seems to be no way." but what you've got to do
00:17:35.115 --> 00:17:36.116
But what you've got to do before you can answer the door
00:17:36.182 --> 00:17:37.650
Before you can answer the door is you've got to hear him
00:17:37.717 --> 00:17:38.685
Is you've got to hear him knocking.
00:17:38.751 --> 00:17:39.352
Knocking. and until you repent,
00:17:39.419 --> 00:17:40.453
And until you repent, you cannot hear him knocking.
00:17:40.520 --> 00:17:42.188
You cannot hear him knocking. but once you open the door,
00:17:42.255 --> 00:17:43.923
But once you open the door, jesus not only comes in with
00:17:43.990 --> 00:17:45.525
Jesus not only comes in with what you're looking for,
00:17:45.592 --> 00:17:46.626
What you're looking for, he comes in with more than

Than you can think, than you can imagine,
00:17:49.796 --> 00:17:50.897
Than you can imagine, because he is the god
00:17:50.964 --> 00:17:52.031

00:18:01.007 --> 00:18:04.277
Now, that's just point three. we got six more to go.
00:18:04.344 --> 00:18:05.712
We got six more to go. but i'm going to take you to

The next three, four, five and six,
00:18:11.751 --> 00:18:14.287

Notes that you can take them home, read them

Home, read them and apply them to your life.
00:18:20.927 --> 00:18:23.596
And apply them to your life. because they'll have different

Because they'll have different applications for every person
00:18:24.697 --> 00:18:25.632
Applications for every person who hears them.
00:18:25.698 --> 00:18:27.534
Who hears them. the final three,
00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:28.801

Have to do with your relationships with others.
00:18:30.803 --> 00:18:31.804
Relationships with others. and we're going to cover those
00:18:31.871 --> 00:18:32.639
And we're going to cover those quickly in closing.
00:18:32.705 --> 00:18:33.573
Quickly in closing. the first is that you
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.108
The first is that you need to intercede for others.
00:18:35.175 --> 00:18:37.844
Need to intercede for others. if you want to prosper,
00:18:37.911 --> 00:18:39.145
If you want to prosper, practice the power of
00:18:39.212 --> 00:18:40.180
Practice the power of intercession.
00:18:40.246 --> 00:18:41.381
Intercession. [yes.]
00:18:41.447 --> 00:18:42.215
[yes.] and intercession is when you
00:18:42.282 --> 00:18:43.750
And intercession is when you start praying for others like
00:18:43.816 --> 00:18:45.285
Start praying for others like you pray for yourself.
00:18:45.351 --> 00:18:47.053
You pray for yourself. [yes.]
00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:49.055
[yes.] intercession is one of
00:18:49.122 --> 00:18:50.223
Intercession is one of the most christ-like things
00:18:50.290 --> 00:18:51.257
The most christ-like things you can do.
00:18:51.324 --> 00:18:52.125
You can do. why?
00:18:52.192 --> 00:18:52.492
Why? because the bible tells us
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:53.359
Because the bible tells us that we have an intercessor.
00:18:53.426 --> 00:18:55.094
That we have an intercessor. he is an advocate.
00:18:55.161 --> 00:18:56.229
He is an advocate. his name is jesus and he's
00:18:56.296 --> 00:18:57.530
His name is jesus and he's standing at the right hand of
00:18:57.597 --> 00:18:58.898
Standing at the right hand of god the father.
00:18:58.965 --> 00:18:59.799
God the father. and he's talking to god
00:18:59.866 --> 00:19:01.067
And he's talking to god about us.
00:19:01.134 --> 00:19:02.902
About us. he's interceding
00:19:02.969 --> 00:19:03.970
He's interceding on our behalf.
00:19:04.037 --> 00:19:06.472
On our behalf. look at what the psalmists
00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:07.273
Look at what the psalmists said in psalm 122:6,
00:19:07.340 --> 00:19:09.809
Said in psalm 122:6, "pray for the peace of
00:19:09.876 --> 00:19:10.843
"pray for the peace of jerusalem."
00:19:10.910 --> 00:19:12.345
Jerusalem." he's saying,
00:19:12.412 --> 00:19:12.979
He's saying, "intercede for the peace of
00:19:13.046 --> 00:19:15.114
"intercede for the peace of jerusalem."
00:19:15.181 --> 00:19:15.982
Jerusalem." "may they prosper
00:19:16.049 --> 00:19:17.684
"may they prosper who love you."
00:19:17.750 --> 00:19:20.053
Who love you." "may they --" what?
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:21.387
"may they --" what? "-- prosper who love you."
00:19:21.454 --> 00:19:22.956
"-- prosper who love you." there's something supernatural
00:19:23.022 --> 00:19:24.490
There's something supernatural that when you intercede on
00:19:24.557 --> 00:19:25.959
That when you intercede on earthly places for the city of
00:19:26.025 --> 00:19:27.760
Earthly places for the city of god, jerusalem,
00:19:27.827 --> 00:19:29.095
God, jerusalem, god sends into your life what
00:19:29.162 --> 00:19:31.130
God sends into your life what you're praying to happen
00:19:31.197 --> 00:19:32.532
You're praying to happen in there.
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.367
In there. when you intercede for
00:19:34.434 --> 00:19:35.368
When you intercede for the peace of jerusalem,
00:19:35.435 --> 00:19:36.636
The peace of jerusalem, god says,
00:19:36.703 --> 00:19:37.136
God says, "if they want peace
00:19:37.203 --> 00:19:37.904
"if they want peace in jerusalem,
00:19:37.971 --> 00:19:38.638
In jerusalem, i'll send peace to them.
00:19:38.705 --> 00:19:40.106
I'll send peace to them. if they want protection for
00:19:40.173 --> 00:19:41.374
If they want protection for jerusalem,
00:19:41.441 --> 00:19:41.908
Jerusalem, i'll send protection to them.
00:19:41.975 --> 00:19:43.543
I'll send protection to them. if they want prosperity in
00:19:43.610 --> 00:19:45.078
If they want prosperity in jerusalem,
00:19:45.144 --> 00:19:45.545
Jerusalem, i'll send prosperity to them.
00:19:45.612 --> 00:19:47.447
I'll send prosperity to them. if they want all of these
00:19:47.513 --> 00:19:48.681
If they want all of these things to be in my city,
00:19:48.748 --> 00:19:50.350
Things to be in my city, i want all of those things
00:19:50.416 --> 00:19:51.517
I want all of those things to be in their life."
00:19:51.584 --> 00:19:53.386
To be in their life." [amen.]
00:19:53.453 --> 00:19:53.987
[amen.] i can promise you,
00:19:54.053 --> 00:19:55.054
I can promise you, there's more than plenty
00:19:55.121 --> 00:19:56.155
There's more than plenty of evidence to prove it,
00:19:56.222 --> 00:19:57.457
Of evidence to prove it, but the reason that god's hand
00:19:57.523 --> 00:19:59.092
But the reason that god's hand of blessing and favor has been
00:19:59.158 --> 00:20:00.893
Of blessing and favor has been upon this ministry is because
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.829
Upon this ministry is because if there's one verse in
00:20:02.895 --> 00:20:03.863
If there's one verse in the bible that we have made it
00:20:03.930 --> 00:20:05.164
The bible that we have made it adamant to fulfill,
00:20:05.231 --> 00:20:06.232
Adamant to fulfill, is that's one.
00:20:06.299 --> 00:20:07.066
Is that's one. "pray for the peace of
00:20:07.133 --> 00:20:08.067
"pray for the peace of jerusalem.
00:20:08.134 --> 00:20:08.801
Jerusalem. may they prosper
00:20:08.868 --> 00:20:10.503
May they prosper who love you."
00:20:10.570 --> 00:20:11.938
Who love you." [amen.]
00:20:12.005 --> 00:20:12.438
[amen.] (applause)
00:20:12.505 --> 00:20:17.410
(applause) the eighth principle has to do
00:20:17.477 --> 00:20:19.512
The eighth principle has to do with spiritual authority.
00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:21.948
With spiritual authority. if you're going to prosper,
00:20:22.015 --> 00:20:23.149
If you're going to prosper, you have got to be in right
00:20:23.216 --> 00:20:24.450
You have got to be in right relationship with spiritual
00:20:24.517 --> 00:20:25.785
Relationship with spiritual authority.
00:20:25.852 --> 00:20:28.187
Authority. that spiritual authority is
00:20:28.254 --> 00:20:30.156
That spiritual authority is god's design for blessings.
00:20:30.223 --> 00:20:33.693
God's design for blessings. and everyone has spiritual
00:20:33.760 --> 00:20:35.862
And everyone has spiritual authority that they should be
00:20:35.928 --> 00:20:37.030
Authority that they should be connected to and submitted to.
00:20:37.096 --> 00:20:39.899
Connected to and submitted to. no one is separate from it.
00:20:39.966 --> 00:20:41.601
No one is separate from it. there are no independent
00:20:41.668 --> 00:20:43.002
There are no independent agencies in the kingdom
00:20:43.069 --> 00:20:44.304
Agencies in the kingdom of god.
00:20:44.370 --> 00:20:46.172
Of god. you do not operate on
00:20:46.239 --> 00:20:48.207
You do not operate on the cia list for king jesus.
00:20:48.274 --> 00:20:51.544
The cia list for king jesus. (laughter)
00:20:51.611 --> 00:20:52.612
(laughter) everyone has spiritual
00:20:52.679 --> 00:20:53.513
Everyone has spiritual authority.
00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:55.048
Authority. church leadership has
00:20:55.114 --> 00:20:56.082
Church leadership has spiritual authority.
00:20:56.149 --> 00:20:57.016
Spiritual authority. the bible says,
00:20:57.083 --> 00:20:57.750
The bible says, jesus christ is the head of
00:20:57.817 --> 00:20:58.718
Jesus christ is the head of the church.
00:20:58.785 --> 00:21:00.086
The church. the family has spiritual
00:21:00.153 --> 00:21:01.688
The family has spiritual authority.
00:21:01.754 --> 00:21:02.388
Authority. the bible says that the father
00:21:02.455 --> 00:21:03.756
The bible says that the father is the priest of
00:21:03.823 --> 00:21:04.424
Is the priest of the household.
00:21:04.490 --> 00:21:06.159
The household. that means that the spouse,
00:21:06.225 --> 00:21:07.694
That means that the spouse, his wife,
00:21:07.760 --> 00:21:08.528
His wife, should be submitted to
00:21:08.594 --> 00:21:09.329
Should be submitted to his spiritual authority.
00:21:09.395 --> 00:21:10.463
His spiritual authority. one of the reasons why people
00:21:10.530 --> 00:21:11.397
One of the reasons why people don't have blessings
00:21:11.464 --> 00:21:12.265
Don't have blessings in their family is because
00:21:12.332 --> 00:21:13.399
In their family is because there's a battle for who's
00:21:13.466 --> 00:21:14.434
There's a battle for who's in charge.
00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:16.869
In charge. and that doesn't mean that
00:21:16.936 --> 00:21:17.870
And that doesn't mean that god's listening,
00:21:17.937 --> 00:21:18.638
God's listening, waiting to break the tie.
00:21:18.705 --> 00:21:19.906
Waiting to break the tie. it means somebody is not in
00:21:19.972 --> 00:21:21.374
It means somebody is not in spiritual authority.
00:21:21.441 --> 00:21:23.242
Spiritual authority. whenever you have chaos
00:21:23.309 --> 00:21:24.410
Whenever you have chaos in the relationship between
00:21:24.477 --> 00:21:25.878
In the relationship between mom and dad,
00:21:25.945 --> 00:21:26.813
Mom and dad, guess what happens?
00:21:26.879 --> 00:21:27.747
Guess what happens? the kids don't stand under
00:21:27.814 --> 00:21:29.382
The kids don't stand under spiritual authority.
00:21:29.449 --> 00:21:31.250
Spiritual authority. and yet,
00:21:31.317 --> 00:21:31.584
And yet, ephesians very clearly says,
00:21:31.651 --> 00:21:33.453
Ephesians very clearly says, "children o-bey."
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:38.925
"children o-bey." (laughter)
00:21:38.991 --> 00:21:39.792
(laughter) "children --" what?
00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:41.327
"children --" what? [obey.]
00:21:41.394 --> 00:21:43.096
[obey.] "-- obey."
00:21:43.162 --> 00:21:46.399
"-- obey." don't argue with.
00:21:46.466 --> 00:21:48.468
Don't argue with. [the parents.]
00:21:48.534 --> 00:21:49.736
[the parents.] don't ask why.
00:21:49.802 --> 00:21:52.939
Don't ask why. just obey
00:21:53.005 --> 00:21:57.610
Just obey your parents.
00:21:57.677 --> 00:21:59.679
Your parents. and then they offer this
00:21:59.746 --> 00:22:00.546
And then they offer this brilliant explanation.
00:22:00.613 --> 00:22:03.383
Brilliant explanation. "for this is right."
00:22:03.449 --> 00:22:06.486
"for this is right." (laughter)
00:22:06.552 --> 00:22:08.121
(laughter) i love it.
00:22:08.187 --> 00:22:09.489
I love it. (laughter)
00:22:09.555 --> 00:22:11.357
(laughter) not 200 pages of parenting
00:22:11.424 --> 00:22:13.025
Not 200 pages of parenting books.
00:22:13.092 --> 00:22:14.060
Books. not a six-week seminar.
00:22:14.127 --> 00:22:15.528
Not a six-week seminar. not seven cassette tapes on
00:22:15.595 --> 00:22:17.063
Not seven cassette tapes on how to get it done.
00:22:17.130 --> 00:22:18.131
How to get it done. it just says,
00:22:18.197 --> 00:22:18.898
It just says, "children obey."
00:22:18.965 --> 00:22:20.400
"children obey." why?
00:22:20.466 --> 00:22:22.001
Why? it's right.
00:22:22.068 --> 00:22:23.469
It's right. (laughter)
00:22:23.536 --> 00:22:23.936
(laughter) it's just the way it
00:22:24.003 --> 00:22:24.570
It's just the way it should be.
00:22:24.637 --> 00:22:25.571
Should be. (laughter)
00:22:25.638 --> 00:22:26.038
(laughter) why?
00:22:26.105 --> 00:22:26.706
Why? because if you're going to be
00:22:26.773 --> 00:22:27.640
Because if you're going to be in position to receive
00:22:27.707 --> 00:22:28.674
In position to receive the blessing,
00:22:28.741 --> 00:22:29.409
The blessing, you've got to be underneath
00:22:29.475 --> 00:22:31.244
You've got to be underneath spiritual authority.
00:22:31.310 --> 00:22:34.280
Spiritual authority. the last of these nine
00:22:34.347 --> 00:22:36.649
The last of these nine principles,
00:22:36.716 --> 00:22:38.217
Principles, and probably the most
00:22:38.284 --> 00:22:38.985
And probably the most important of them all
00:22:39.051 --> 00:22:41.454
Important of them all is you have to act as if
00:22:41.521 --> 00:22:44.924
Is you have to act as if it were so.
00:22:44.991 --> 00:22:48.594
It were so. if you want to prosper,
00:22:48.661 --> 00:22:51.697
If you want to prosper, not only do you have to start
00:22:51.764 --> 00:22:52.799
Not only do you have to start with a holy and healthy fear
00:22:52.865 --> 00:22:54.167
With a holy and healthy fear of god,
00:22:54.233 --> 00:22:54.700
Of god, but you've got to finish
00:22:54.767 --> 00:22:55.802
But you've got to finish by believing, in faith,
00:22:55.868 --> 00:22:57.503
By believing, in faith, that whatever you have asked
00:22:57.570 --> 00:22:58.805
That whatever you have asked god for,
00:22:58.871 --> 00:22:59.505
God for, he will do.
00:22:59.572 --> 00:23:00.740
He will do. [yes.]
00:23:00.807 --> 00:23:02.074
[yes.] jesus said this:
00:23:02.141 --> 00:23:03.142
Jesus said this: "whatever things you ask
00:23:03.209 --> 00:23:04.710
"whatever things you ask in prayer believing,
00:23:04.777 --> 00:23:07.647
In prayer believing, you will receive."
00:23:07.713 --> 00:23:09.315
You will receive." [amen.]
00:23:09.382 --> 00:23:10.249
[amen.] prayer,
00:23:10.316 --> 00:23:11.350
Prayer, believing,
00:23:11.417 --> 00:23:12.952
Believing, you will receive.
00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:15.054
You will receive. [amen.]
00:23:15.121 --> 00:23:15.721
[amen.] what jesus was saying to those
00:23:15.788 --> 00:23:16.923
What jesus was saying to those who were listening is that
00:23:16.989 --> 00:23:18.324
Who were listening is that whatever you ask for on earth,
00:23:18.391 --> 00:23:20.193
Whatever you ask for on earth, god will do it in heaven,
00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:21.794
God will do it in heaven, as long as you begin to behave
00:23:21.861 --> 00:23:23.563
As long as you begin to behave on earth as if it's done
00:23:23.629 --> 00:23:25.131
On earth as if it's done when you ask for it.
00:23:25.198 --> 00:23:26.365
When you ask for it. [amen.]
00:23:26.432 --> 00:23:26.999
[amen.] what jesus is saying is,
00:23:27.066 --> 00:23:28.134
What jesus is saying is, "you ask in faith,
00:23:28.201 --> 00:23:29.569
"you ask in faith, and then you start behaving
00:23:29.635 --> 00:23:31.137
And then you start behaving like you believe it happened."
00:23:31.204 --> 00:23:34.140
Like you believe it happened." you start acting as if
00:23:34.207 --> 00:23:36.442
You start acting as if it were so.
00:23:36.509 --> 00:23:37.276
It were so. why?
00:23:37.343 --> 00:23:37.610
Why? because it affects your
00:23:37.677 --> 00:23:38.544
Because it affects your attitude and your mind starts
00:23:38.611 --> 00:23:40.480
Attitude and your mind starts to believe that god is going
00:23:40.546 --> 00:23:41.714
To believe that god is going to do exactly what you've
00:23:41.781 --> 00:23:42.682
To do exactly what you've asked him for.
00:23:42.748 --> 00:23:43.583
Asked him for. it affects your speech.
00:23:43.649 --> 00:23:44.884
It affects your speech. you begin to speak in manners
00:23:44.951 --> 00:23:46.452
You begin to speak in manners that tell people that god is
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:47.787
That tell people that god is doing something great
00:23:47.854 --> 00:23:48.754
Doing something great in your life.
00:23:48.821 --> 00:23:49.589
In your life. it doesn't make you
00:23:49.655 --> 00:23:50.490
It doesn't make you a double-minded man,
00:23:50.556 --> 00:23:51.991
A double-minded man, where you think one way
00:23:52.058 --> 00:23:53.125
Where you think one way and you act another.
00:23:53.192 --> 00:23:54.227
And you act another. you start acting the same way
00:23:54.293 --> 00:23:55.928
You start acting the same way that you're believing.
00:23:55.995 --> 00:23:56.829
That you're believing. you start believing the same
