00:00:14.108 --> 00:00:14.809
Pastor matt hagee: the book of deuteronomy is
00:00:14.875 --> 00:00:15.443
Of deuteronomy is the last book that moses
00:00:15.509 --> 00:00:16.777
The last book that moses writes before he climbs
00:00:16.844 --> 00:00:18.446
Writes before he climbs mount nebo and walks into
00:00:18.512 --> 00:00:20.815
Mount nebo and walks into eternity.
00:00:20.881 --> 00:00:23.150
Eternity. and throughout the book of
00:00:23.217 --> 00:00:24.452
And throughout the book of deuteronomy,
00:00:24.518 --> 00:00:25.119
Deuteronomy, he uses this phrase,
00:00:25.186 --> 00:00:26.854
He uses this phrase, "remember."
00:00:26.921 --> 00:00:28.522
"remember." "remember."
00:00:28.589 --> 00:00:30.057
"remember." he's writing to
00:00:30.124 --> 00:00:33.294
He's writing to the grandchildren
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:34.095
The grandchildren and the children of those that
00:00:34.161 --> 00:00:35.429
And the children of those that he led out of egypt.
00:00:35.496 --> 00:00:37.498
He led out of egypt. and the reason that he's
00:00:37.565 --> 00:00:38.499
And the reason that he's writing to these individuals
00:00:38.566 --> 00:00:40.301
Writing to these individuals is because their parents
00:00:40.367 --> 00:00:42.403
Is because their parents and their grandparents forgot.
00:00:42.470 --> 00:00:46.474
And their grandparents forgot. moses came to egypt,
00:00:46.540 --> 00:00:48.109
Moses came to egypt, and god worked a mighty
00:00:48.175 --> 00:00:49.310
And god worked a mighty miracle in the passover.
00:00:49.376 --> 00:00:50.644
Miracle in the passover. he worked a mighty miracle
00:00:50.711 --> 00:00:51.946
He worked a mighty miracle at the red sea.
00:00:52.012 --> 00:00:53.047
At the red sea. he worked miracles in the
00:00:53.114 --> 00:00:54.315
He worked miracles in the wilderness with manna and with
00:00:54.381 --> 00:00:55.850
Wilderness with manna and with the cloud by day and a fire by
00:00:55.916 --> 00:00:57.451
The cloud by day and a fire by night, and water from a rock.
00:00:57.518 --> 00:00:59.286
Night, and water from a rock. and yet,
00:00:59.353 --> 00:00:59.687
And yet, just a few days after seeing
00:00:59.753 --> 00:01:01.922
Just a few days after seeing all of this,
00:01:01.989 --> 00:01:03.224
All of this, the children of israel forgot
00:01:03.290 --> 00:01:05.092
The children of israel forgot where all of those good things
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:06.427
Where all of those good things came from.
00:01:06.494 --> 00:01:07.495
Came from. and when they went to
00:01:07.561 --> 00:01:08.429
And when they went to the promised land,
00:01:08.496 --> 00:01:09.563
The promised land, they decided not to possess
00:01:09.630 --> 00:01:11.465
They decided not to possess what god had promised them,
00:01:11.532 --> 00:01:13.033
What god had promised them, because they didn't believe
00:01:13.100 --> 00:01:14.168
Because they didn't believe that he had the power to
00:01:14.235 --> 00:01:15.469
That he had the power to deliver them from what
00:01:15.536 --> 00:01:16.504
Deliver them from what they saw.
00:01:16.570 --> 00:01:19.807
They saw. and so when moses comes to
00:01:19.874 --> 00:01:21.041
And so when moses comes to the end of his life
00:01:21.108 --> 00:01:21.976
The end of his life and his ministry,
00:01:22.042 --> 00:01:23.611
And his ministry, he wants to make sure that
00:01:23.677 --> 00:01:24.778
He wants to make sure that the next generation that
00:01:24.845 --> 00:01:26.313
The next generation that is going to get to go to
00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:27.748
Is going to get to go to the promised land
00:01:27.815 --> 00:01:28.782
The promised land does not repeat the same
00:01:28.849 --> 00:01:30.618
Does not repeat the same mistake as their predecessors.
00:01:30.684 --> 00:01:32.186
Mistake as their predecessors. and he tells them,
00:01:32.253 --> 00:01:33.554
And he tells them, "don't forget where it
00:01:33.621 --> 00:01:35.322
"don't forget where it comes from."
00:01:35.389 --> 00:01:36.957
Comes from." "remember this,"
00:01:37.024 --> 00:01:38.225
"remember this," "remember that,"
00:01:38.292 --> 00:01:39.460
"remember that," "remember the law,"
00:01:39.527 --> 00:01:40.694
"remember the law," "remember to obey,"
00:01:40.761 --> 00:01:42.029
"remember to obey," "remember the commandments."
00:01:42.096 --> 00:01:44.965
"remember the commandments." it doesn't matter why you're
00:01:45.032 --> 00:01:46.400
It doesn't matter why you're walking in circles around
00:01:46.467 --> 00:01:47.835
Walking in circles around your problems today.
00:01:47.902 --> 00:01:49.103
Your problems today. whether you're afraid to
00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:50.371
Whether you're afraid to confront it
00:01:50.437 --> 00:01:51.138
Confront it or you're comfortable with it
00:01:51.205 --> 00:01:52.540
Or you're comfortable with it or you've just become used
00:01:52.606 --> 00:01:53.774
Or you've just become used to it,
00:01:53.841 --> 00:01:54.275
To it, you need to recognize that,
00:01:54.341 --> 00:01:55.676
You need to recognize that, as a child of god,
00:01:55.743 --> 00:01:57.144
As a child of god, you're not created to walk in
00:01:57.211 --> 00:01:58.746
You're not created to walk in circles with jesus christ;
00:01:58.812 --> 00:02:00.581
Circles with jesus christ; you are a more than
00:02:00.648 --> 00:02:01.549
You are a more than a conqueror through christ.
00:02:01.615 --> 00:02:03.484
A conqueror through christ. the bible says,
00:02:03.551 --> 00:02:04.385
The bible says, "greater is he who is in you
00:02:04.451 --> 00:02:06.554
"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."
00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:08.222
Than he who is in the world." when you understand
00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:09.356
When you understand that power --
00:02:09.423 --> 00:02:10.624
That power -- [amen.]
00:02:10.691 --> 00:02:11.225
[amen.] [yes.]
00:02:11.292 --> 00:02:11.959
[yes.] -- don't forget where it came
00:02:12.026 --> 00:02:13.494
-- don't forget where it came from.
00:02:13.561 --> 00:02:14.228
From. [yes.]
00:02:14.295 --> 00:02:15.462
[yes.] remember.
00:02:15.529 --> 00:02:18.632
Remember. moses tells the children
00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:19.700
Moses tells the children of israel in this chapter
00:02:19.767 --> 00:02:21.001
Of israel in this chapter of deuteronomy,
00:02:21.068 --> 00:02:22.603
Of deuteronomy, "and you shall remember."
00:02:22.670 --> 00:02:24.638
"and you shall remember." say that with me.
00:02:24.705 --> 00:02:25.673
Say that with me. "and you shall remember."
00:02:25.739 --> 00:02:29.243
"and you shall remember." with these words,
00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:30.211
With these words, he makes it an individual
00:02:30.277 --> 00:02:31.645
He makes it an individual responsibility.
00:02:31.712 --> 00:02:34.148
Responsibility. he didn't say,
00:02:34.215 --> 00:02:34.715
He didn't say, "y'all remember now."
00:02:34.782 --> 00:02:36.750
"y'all remember now." (laughter)
00:02:36.817 --> 00:02:38.052
(laughter) if he did that,
00:02:38.118 --> 00:02:38.819
If he did that, it would be upon some of us
00:02:38.886 --> 00:02:40.221
It would be upon some of us and not all of us,
00:02:40.287 --> 00:02:41.021
And not all of us, because that's what "y'all"
00:02:41.088 --> 00:02:41.922
Because that's what "y'all" means.
00:02:41.989 --> 00:02:43.357
Means. (laughter)
00:02:43.424 --> 00:02:43.691
(laughter) moses is very direct,
00:02:43.757 --> 00:02:46.427
Moses is very direct, "and you."
00:02:46.493 --> 00:02:48.562
"and you." it's an individual
00:02:48.629 --> 00:02:49.530
It's an individual responsibility to remember.
00:02:49.597 --> 00:02:52.299
Responsibility to remember. "and you shall remember."
00:02:52.366 --> 00:02:55.369
"and you shall remember." when we forget things,
00:02:55.436 --> 00:02:56.370
When we forget things, we love excuses.
00:02:56.437 --> 00:02:59.440
We love excuses. at work,
00:02:59.506 --> 00:02:59.840
At work, when we forget a meeting
00:02:59.907 --> 00:03:01.175
When we forget a meeting or we forget something,
00:03:01.242 --> 00:03:02.009
Or we forget something, "oh, i didn't get that
00:03:02.076 --> 00:03:02.843
"oh, i didn't get that e-mail."
00:03:02.910 --> 00:03:04.612
E-mail." "my goodness.
00:03:04.678 --> 00:03:05.045
"my goodness. let me check my junk file."
00:03:05.112 --> 00:03:07.181
Let me check my junk file." (laughter)
00:03:07.248 --> 00:03:07.581
(laughter) the problem with these kinds
00:03:07.648 --> 00:03:08.549
The problem with these kinds of excuses is they'll work
00:03:08.616 --> 00:03:09.817
Of excuses is they'll work with your friends
00:03:09.883 --> 00:03:10.417
With your friends and your family.
00:03:10.484 --> 00:03:11.185
And your family. but in this context,
00:03:11.252 --> 00:03:12.519
But in this context, in this situation,
00:03:12.586 --> 00:03:14.288
In this situation, when the word of god says,
00:03:14.355 --> 00:03:15.856
When the word of god says, "and you shall remember,"
00:03:15.923 --> 00:03:16.957
"and you shall remember," the individual that you're
00:03:17.024 --> 00:03:18.092
The individual that you're making excuses with
00:03:18.158 --> 00:03:19.360
Making excuses with is almighty god,
00:03:19.426 --> 00:03:21.996
Is almighty god, a god who has perfect
00:03:22.062 --> 00:03:23.197
A god who has perfect knowledge.
00:03:23.264 --> 00:03:24.765
Knowledge. he knows everything.
00:03:24.832 --> 00:03:26.967
He knows everything. and he's the one who's holding
00:03:27.034 --> 00:03:28.235
And he's the one who's holding you accountable for the things
00:03:28.302 --> 00:03:30.237
You accountable for the things that you're either going to
00:03:30.304 --> 00:03:31.238
That you're either going to remember or forget.
00:03:31.305 --> 00:03:33.474
Remember or forget. make excuses with whomever
00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:34.875
Make excuses with whomever you wish.
00:03:34.942 --> 00:03:35.509
You wish. but remember what the bible
00:03:35.576 --> 00:03:36.577
But remember what the bible says, "god is not mocked.
00:03:36.644 --> 00:03:38.145
Says, "god is not mocked. as a man sows,
00:03:38.212 --> 00:03:39.647
As a man sows, so shall he reap."
00:03:39.713 --> 00:03:41.015
So shall he reap." [that's right.]
00:03:41.081 --> 00:03:41.515
[that's right.] god knows.
00:03:41.582 --> 00:03:43.417
God knows. god knows all.
00:03:43.484 --> 00:03:45.119
God knows all. he knows where you were when
00:03:45.185 --> 00:03:46.854
He knows where you were when you cried out and asked him
00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:48.122
You cried out and asked him for deliverance.
00:03:48.188 --> 00:03:48.989
For deliverance. he knows everything he brought
00:03:49.056 --> 00:03:51.158
He knows everything he brought you through and everything
00:03:51.225 --> 00:03:52.926
You through and everything he delivered you from
00:03:52.993 --> 00:03:54.395
He delivered you from and everything that he
00:03:54.461 --> 00:03:55.696
And everything that he blessed you with.
00:03:55.763 --> 00:03:57.564
Blessed you with. god knows what you don't know.
00:03:57.631 --> 00:04:00.601
God knows what you don't know. god knows where you'd be
00:04:00.668 --> 00:04:02.403
God knows where you'd be without him.
00:04:02.469 --> 00:04:03.671
Without him. [amen.]
00:04:03.737 --> 00:04:04.338
[amen.] i've heard people all of
00:04:04.405 --> 00:04:05.205
I've heard people all of my life say,
00:04:05.272 --> 00:04:05.773
My life say, "i just don't know where i'd
00:04:05.839 --> 00:04:06.774
"i just don't know where i'd be without god."
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:07.641
Be without god." well guess what.
00:04:07.708 --> 00:04:08.175
Well guess what. god knows right where you'd be
00:04:08.242 --> 00:04:09.610
God knows right where you'd be without him.
00:04:09.677 --> 00:04:10.644
Without him. [yes.]
00:04:10.711 --> 00:04:11.412
[yes.] [yes!]
00:04:11.478 --> 00:04:12.112
[yes!] [yes.]
00:04:12.179 --> 00:04:13.080
[yes.] god knows.
00:04:13.147 --> 00:04:14.348
God knows. god knows how your life would
00:04:14.415 --> 00:04:15.549
God knows how your life would have turned out if he would
00:04:15.616 --> 00:04:16.617
Have turned out if he would have answered every prayer you
00:04:16.684 --> 00:04:18.052
Have answered every prayer you ever asked him to answer.
00:04:18.118 --> 00:04:20.254
Ever asked him to answer. oh, god give me...
00:04:20.321 --> 00:04:21.288
Oh, god give me... and he said, "no."
00:04:21.355 --> 00:04:23.724
And he said, "no." why?
00:04:23.791 --> 00:04:24.124
Why? because he knows what you
00:04:24.191 --> 00:04:25.426
Because he knows what you don't.
00:04:25.492 --> 00:04:26.427
Don't. [that's right.]
00:04:26.493 --> 00:04:27.328
[that's right.] he knows you so well
00:04:27.394 --> 00:04:28.362
He knows you so well that the bible says,
00:04:28.429 --> 00:04:29.163
That the bible says, "he formed you in your
00:04:29.229 --> 00:04:30.798
"he formed you in your mother's womb."
00:04:30.864 --> 00:04:31.665
Mother's womb." literally,
00:04:31.732 --> 00:04:32.299
Literally, he knit you together.
00:04:32.366 --> 00:04:33.901
He knit you together. how many of you used to ever
00:04:33.967 --> 00:04:35.269
How many of you used to ever be fascinated by your
00:04:35.336 --> 00:04:36.270
Be fascinated by your grandmother when she'd knit?
00:04:36.337 --> 00:04:39.306
Grandmother when she'd knit? my grandmother would focus on
00:04:39.373 --> 00:04:40.541
My grandmother would focus on each stitch and tell me
00:04:40.607 --> 00:04:41.709
Each stitch and tell me the difference between
00:04:41.775 --> 00:04:42.443
The difference between this one and that one,
00:04:42.509 --> 00:04:43.410
This one and that one, and what it was going to do,
00:04:43.477 --> 00:04:44.278
And what it was going to do, and how it was going to work.
00:04:44.345 --> 00:04:46.747
And how it was going to work. and when i hear this
00:04:46.814 --> 00:04:47.448
And when i hear this that he formed you
00:04:47.514 --> 00:04:48.615
That he formed you in your mother's womb,
00:04:48.682 --> 00:04:49.450
In your mother's womb, it means that god is so
00:04:49.516 --> 00:04:50.551

"remember the lord... who gives."
00:06:45.999 --> 00:06:47.434
Who gives." the god that we're remembering
00:06:47.501 --> 00:06:48.869
The god that we're remembering is a giver.
00:06:48.936 --> 00:06:51.271
Is a giver. are you?
00:06:51.338 --> 00:06:53.207
Are you? [yes.]
00:06:53.273 --> 00:06:54.141
[yes.] it amazing me that people
00:06:54.208 --> 00:06:55.309
It amazing me that people profess to believe in god
00:06:55.375 --> 00:06:57.411
Profess to believe in god who gives,
00:06:57.478 --> 00:06:58.078
Who gives, and they don't.
00:06:58.145 --> 00:06:59.446
And they don't. [that's right.]
00:06:59.513 --> 00:07:01.548
[that's right.] you cannot believe in god
00:07:01.615 --> 00:07:03.417
You cannot believe in god and not be a giver.
00:07:03.484 --> 00:07:04.952
And not be a giver. [that's right.]
00:07:05.018 --> 00:07:06.386
[that's right.] everything that god controls
00:07:06.453 --> 00:07:08.889
Everything that god controls gives.
00:07:08.956 --> 00:07:11.124
Gives. and if there's something
00:07:11.191 --> 00:07:11.892
And if there's something in you that does not like
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.360
In you that does not like to give,
00:07:13.427 --> 00:07:14.061
To give, then that thing in you is not
00:07:14.127 --> 00:07:15.696
Then that thing in you is not of god.
00:07:15.762 --> 00:07:16.663
Of god. [amen.]
00:07:16.730 --> 00:07:17.364
[amen.] [that's right.]
00:07:17.431 --> 00:07:18.532
[that's right.] when your mind is transformed,
00:07:18.599 --> 00:07:19.900
When your mind is transformed, giving is a blessing.
00:07:19.967 --> 00:07:22.903
Giving is a blessing. why?
00:07:22.970 --> 00:07:24.304
Why? because in the kingdom,
00:07:24.371 --> 00:07:25.806
Because in the kingdom, there is always more than
00:07:25.873 --> 00:07:27.107
There is always more than enough.
00:07:27.174 --> 00:07:28.408
Enough. [yes.]
00:07:28.475 --> 00:07:29.343
[yes.] and when you give
00:07:29.409 --> 00:07:30.244
And when you give in the kingdom,
00:07:30.310 --> 00:07:31.011
In the kingdom, you qualify to be able
00:07:31.078 --> 00:07:32.713
You qualify to be able to receive more.
00:07:32.779 --> 00:07:34.548
To receive more. [yes!]
00:07:34.615 --> 00:07:36.149
[yes!] but in this world,
00:07:36.216 --> 00:07:36.884
But in this world, if you give,
00:07:36.950 --> 00:07:37.518
If you give, it's gone.
00:07:37.584 --> 00:07:38.785
It's gone. [that's right.]
00:07:38.852 --> 00:07:40.053
[that's right.] now which one of those do you
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:40.988
Now which one of those do you want?
00:07:41.054 --> 00:07:41.455
Want? a kingdom mindset that says,
00:07:41.522 --> 00:07:43.056
A kingdom mindset that says, my father has more than
00:07:43.123 --> 00:07:44.157
My father has more than enough?
00:07:44.224 --> 00:07:44.858
Enough? or a carnal mindset that says,
00:07:44.925 --> 00:07:46.293
Or a carnal mindset that says, whenever i give,
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:46.994
Whenever i give, it is gone?
00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:49.129
It is gone? deuteronomy is moses' warning
00:07:49.196 --> 00:07:51.732
Deuteronomy is moses' warning to the children of israel.
00:07:51.798 --> 00:07:52.933

They multiply, and your silver and your gold

Increases," don't forget.

Now church, as ancient as this story is,
00:08:56.196 --> 00:08:58.465
As ancient as this story is, it's as relevant as today's
00:08:58.532 --> 00:08:59.967
It's as relevant as today's headlines.
00:09:00.033 --> 00:09:01.101
Headlines. [yes.]
00:09:01.168 --> 00:09:01.735
[yes.] because we live in a world
00:09:01.802 --> 00:09:02.769
Because we live in a world filled with people who wake up
00:09:02.836 --> 00:09:04.071
Filled with people who wake up and look in the mirror
00:09:04.137 --> 00:09:04.905
And look in the mirror and say,
00:09:04.972 --> 00:09:05.572
And say, "my power and my might have

[wealth!] now the reason why i want to
00:09:31.632 --> 00:09:32.466
Now the reason why i want to make that so pointed and so
00:09:32.532 --> 00:09:33.600
Make that so pointed and so clear is because wealth is
00:09:33.667 --> 00:09:35.135
Clear is because wealth is an uncomfortable topic.
00:09:35.202 --> 00:09:37.571
An uncomfortable topic. you bring it up and it brings
00:09:37.638 --> 00:09:38.772
You bring it up and it brings division.
00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:39.906
Division. [yeah.]

00:09:43.043 --> 00:09:44.344
Those who want it and those who wish they had more.
00:09:44.411 --> 00:09:47.547
Who wish they had more. in the world we live in,
00:09:47.614 --> 00:09:48.782
In the world we live in, wealth is something everyone's
00:09:48.849 --> 00:09:50.050
Wealth is something everyone's interested in but nobody likes
00:09:50.117 --> 00:09:51.318
Interested in but nobody likes to talk about it.
00:09:51.385 --> 00:09:52.119
To talk about it. and yet the bible clearly
00:09:52.185 --> 00:09:53.186
And yet the bible clearly says,
00:09:53.253 --> 00:09:53.820
Says, "it is the lord who gives you
00:09:53.887 --> 00:09:55.022
"it is the lord who gives you the power to get --"
00:09:55.088 --> 00:09:56.490
The power to get --" [wealth!]
00:09:56.556 --> 00:09:58.558
[wealth!] in this world,
00:09:58.625 --> 00:10:01.061
In this world, we don't like to talk about
00:10:01.128 --> 00:10:02.129
We don't like to talk about wealth because we don't have
00:10:02.195 --> 00:10:03.163
Wealth because we don't have the right understanding of it.
00:10:03.230 --> 00:10:05.632
The right understanding of it. we believe that if it's
00:10:05.699 --> 00:10:07.067
We believe that if it's our power and it's our might
00:10:07.134 --> 00:10:08.835
Our power and it's our might that builds wealth,
00:10:08.902 --> 00:10:10.037
That builds wealth, then we can accuse those who
00:10:10.103 --> 00:10:11.371
Then we can accuse those who have it of doing something
00:10:11.438 --> 00:10:12.372
Have it of doing something wrong in order to get it.
00:10:12.439 --> 00:10:15.042
Wrong in order to get it. you hear this all the time.
00:10:15.108 --> 00:10:16.109
You hear this all the time. politicians actually run
00:10:16.176 --> 00:10:17.444
Politicians actually run campaigns on it.
00:10:17.511 --> 00:10:18.378
Campaigns on it. "they're cheated."
00:10:18.445 --> 00:10:19.946
"they're cheated." (laughter)
00:10:20.013 --> 00:10:21.181
(laughter) and then the other side says,
00:10:21.248 --> 00:10:22.683
And then the other side says, "you're lazy."
00:10:22.749 --> 00:10:25.686
"you're lazy." and these perspectives
00:10:25.752 --> 00:10:26.653
And these perspectives come from a carnal concept
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.321
Come from a carnal concept of wealth which says
00:10:28.388 --> 00:10:29.523
Of wealth which says you did something to get it.
00:10:29.589 --> 00:10:31.224
You did something to get it. that's not what the bible
00:10:31.291 --> 00:10:32.025
That's not what the bible says.
00:10:32.092 --> 00:10:32.392
Says. the bible says,
00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:33.160
The bible says, "it is --" who?
00:10:33.226 --> 00:10:34.795
"it is --" who? "-- the lord who gives you
00:10:34.861 --> 00:10:37.397
"-- the lord who gives you the power to get wealth."
00:10:37.464 --> 00:10:38.899
The power to get wealth." now the bible's very clear
00:10:38.965 --> 00:10:40.100
Now the bible's very clear "god is no respecter
00:10:40.167 --> 00:10:41.234
"god is no respecter of persons."
00:10:41.301 --> 00:10:42.069
Of persons." so if he has a way to give one
00:10:42.135 --> 00:10:44.571
So if he has a way to give one the power to get wealth,
00:10:44.638 --> 00:10:45.706
The power to get wealth, he will give it to all
00:10:45.772 --> 00:10:47.174
He will give it to all who qualify to get wealth.
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.677
Who qualify to get wealth. (applause)
00:10:50.744 --> 00:10:55.015
(applause) it's not you;
00:10:55.082 --> 00:10:56.249
It's not you; it's him in you that does
00:10:56.316 --> 00:10:58.285
It's him in you that does this.
00:10:58.351 --> 00:10:59.720
This. and one of the reasons that
00:10:59.786 --> 00:11:00.721
And one of the reasons that people do not receive
00:11:00.787 --> 00:11:02.122
People do not receive the wealth that the bible is
00:11:02.189 --> 00:11:03.290
The wealth that the bible is speaking of is because they
00:11:03.356 --> 00:11:04.725
Speaking of is because they forget where it comes from.
00:11:04.791 --> 00:11:07.194
Forget where it comes from. moses says, step one,
00:11:07.260 --> 00:11:08.895
Moses says, step one, "remember."
00:11:08.962 --> 00:11:10.030
"remember." when you eat and are full,
00:11:10.097 --> 00:11:12.165
When you eat and are full, with your belly full,
00:11:12.232 --> 00:11:13.533
With your belly full, say, "thank you, god.
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:14.801
Say, "thank you, god. you did that."
00:11:14.868 --> 00:11:16.570
You did that." when you lay down in
00:11:16.636 --> 00:11:17.604
When you lay down in your beautiful home,
00:11:17.671 --> 00:11:18.939
Your beautiful home, don't sit there and look at
00:11:19.005 --> 00:11:20.006
Don't sit there and look at that house like it's yours.
00:11:20.073 --> 00:11:21.241
That house like it's yours. say, "thank you, god.
00:11:21.308 --> 00:11:22.476
Say, "thank you, god. this is your house."
00:11:22.542 --> 00:11:24.277
This is your house." when you have silver and gold,
00:11:24.344 --> 00:11:25.812
When you have silver and gold, and your cattle
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:26.379
And your cattle and your sheep,
00:11:26.446 --> 00:11:27.114
And your sheep, they all multiply,
00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:28.715
They all multiply, don't talk to the world about
00:11:28.782 --> 00:11:30.117
Don't talk to the world about your business practices
00:11:30.183 --> 00:11:31.351
Your business practices and how good you are at what
00:11:31.418 --> 00:11:32.652
And how good you are at what you do.
00:11:32.719 --> 00:11:33.220
You do. look up to heaven and say,
00:11:33.286 --> 00:11:34.287
Look up to heaven and say, "god, you gave me all of these
00:11:34.354 --> 00:11:36.022
"god, you gave me all of these wonderful things and i want to
00:11:36.089 --> 00:11:37.390
Wonderful things and i want to tell you how much i appreciate
00:11:37.457 --> 00:11:38.859
Tell you how much i appreciate your goodness and your mercy
00:11:38.925 --> 00:11:40.127
Your goodness and your mercy in my life."
00:11:40.193 --> 00:11:40.961
In my life." because you cannot escape it,
00:11:41.027 --> 00:11:42.929
Because you cannot escape it, god is the source of it all.
00:11:42.996 --> 00:11:47.134
God is the source of it all. [yes.]
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:47.701
[yes.] (applause)
00:11:47.768 --> 00:11:53.039
When we focus on our desire,
00:11:53.607 --> 00:11:55.542
Rather than god's will
00:11:55.542 --> 00:11:56.777
For our lives.
00:11:56.777 --> 00:11:57.677
The best time to be
00:11:57.677 --> 00:11:58.478
Happy is now,
00:11:58.478 --> 00:11:59.846
But we miss the point
00:11:59.846 --> 00:12:01.081
If we forget that every good
00:12:01.081 --> 00:12:02.616
And perfect gift
00:12:02.616 --> 00:12:04.017
Comes from god.
00:12:04.017 --> 00:12:05.018
Happiness is found
00:12:05.018 --> 00:12:06.520
Not just in the destination,
00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:08.054
But along the journey to
00:12:08.054 --> 00:12:09.356
What god has planned for us.
00:12:09.356 --> 00:12:11.691
For your gift of any amount
00:12:11.691 --> 00:12:12.993
This month, we'll send you
00:12:12.993 --> 00:12:14.094
The newly updated
00:12:14.094 --> 00:12:15.028
Being happy in an unhappy world
00:12:15.028 --> 00:12:16.997
By pastor john
00:12:16.997 --> 00:12:18.131
And with a generous gift
00:12:18.131 --> 00:12:19.266
Of $175,
00:12:19.266 --> 00:12:20.901
You'll receive
00:12:20.901 --> 00:12:21.601
A full collection of resources,
00:12:21.601 --> 00:12:23.203

In the psalms. prayer cards.
00:12:24.237 --> 00:12:25.572
These cards
00:12:25.572 --> 00:12:26.306
Feature verses from the psalms
00:12:26.306 --> 00:12:27.741
That focus on joy, peace,
00:12:27.741 --> 00:12:29.276
And finding happiness
00:12:29.276 --> 00:12:30.510
In god's presence.
00:12:30.510 --> 00:12:31.645
You'll also receive
00:12:31.645 --> 00:12:32.546
The brand new
00:12:32.546 --> 00:12:33.213
My heart is glad
00:12:33.213 --> 00:12:34.181
Tumblr featuring psalm 16:9
00:12:34.181 --> 00:12:36.316
And a gratitude journal

To guide you
00:12:37.450 --> 00:12:38.084
Into living in the power
00:12:38.084 --> 00:12:39.319
Of daily gratitude.
00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:40.620
Joy and happiness are needed
00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:42.122
More than ever in our world.
00:12:42.122 --> 00:12:43.456
Call the number on your screen
00:12:43.456 --> 00:12:44.925
Or visit
00:12:44.925 --> 00:12:45.792
Jhm.org/happy.
00:12:45.792 --> 00:12:50.864
Our problem is that we focus
00:12:50.931 --> 00:12:52.532
Our problem is that we focus more on the resource
00:12:52.599 --> 00:12:53.900
More on the resource than we do the source.
00:12:53.967 --> 00:12:55.936
Than we do the source. and when you focus on
00:12:56.002 --> 00:12:57.003
And when you focus on the wrong thing,
00:12:57.070 --> 00:12:58.205
The wrong thing, you come to the wrong
00:12:58.271 --> 00:12:59.105
You come to the wrong conclusion.
00:12:59.172 --> 00:13:00.307
Conclusion. [that's right.]
00:13:00.373 --> 00:13:01.942
[that's right.] whenever you focus on
00:13:02.008 --> 00:13:02.943
Whenever you focus on the resource,
00:13:03.009 --> 00:13:04.878
The resource, which in this world,
00:13:04.945 --> 00:13:05.812
Which in this world, is money --
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.647
Is money -- if you don't think it's money,
00:13:07.714 --> 00:13:09.115
If you don't think it's money, try paying for lunch
00:13:09.182 --> 00:13:09.883
Try paying for lunch in seashells and see what
00:13:09.950 --> 00:13:11.051
In seashells and see what happens.
00:13:11.117 --> 00:13:12.152
Happens. (laughter)
00:13:12.219 --> 00:13:14.287
(laughter) when you focus on
00:13:14.354 --> 00:13:15.155
When you focus on the resource,
00:13:15.222 --> 00:13:16.156
The resource, you either have
00:13:16.223 --> 00:13:17.390
You either have an overinflated value of money
00:13:17.457 --> 00:13:19.526
An overinflated value of money or you look at money
00:13:19.593 --> 00:13:20.126
Or you look at money like it's evil.
00:13:20.193 --> 00:13:22.596
Like it's evil. you either look at possessions
00:13:22.662 --> 00:13:23.864
You either look at possessions as if they are the prime
00:13:23.930 --> 00:13:24.931
As if they are the prime priority or you say,
00:13:24.998 --> 00:13:26.933
Priority or you say, "oh, no, no, no, no.
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:27.601
"oh, no, no, no, no. i-- mon-- money's evil."
00:13:27.667 --> 00:13:29.803
I-- mon-- money's evil." money is not evil.
00:13:29.870 --> 00:13:31.805
Money is not evil. that's a ridiculous notion.
00:13:31.872 --> 00:13:34.174
That's a ridiculous notion. people can do evil things
00:13:34.241 --> 00:13:35.876
People can do evil things with money.
00:13:35.942 --> 00:13:37.844
With money. but they can do evil things
00:13:37.911 --> 00:13:38.778
But they can do evil things with pencils too.
00:13:38.845 --> 00:13:40.714
With pencils too. (laughter)
00:13:40.780 --> 00:13:41.948
(laughter) money is inanimate.
00:13:42.015 --> 00:13:44.885
Money is inanimate. if money is evil,
00:13:44.951 --> 00:13:46.086
If money is evil, why do you look forward to
00:13:46.152 --> 00:13:47.153
Why do you look forward to payday?
00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:48.855
Payday? (laughter)
00:13:48.922 --> 00:13:50.390
(laughter) oh, no, not money.
00:13:50.457 --> 00:13:52.325
Oh, no, not money. (laughter)
00:13:52.392 --> 00:13:53.326
(laughter) don't give it to me.
00:13:53.393 --> 00:13:54.160
Don't give it to me. it's evil.
00:13:54.227 --> 00:13:55.528
It's evil. (laughter)
00:13:55.595 --> 00:13:57.063
(laughter) wrong.
00:13:57.130 --> 00:13:59.699
Wrong. money is not evil
00:13:59.766 --> 00:14:00.533
Money is not evil and the bible doesn't say
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:01.434
And the bible doesn't say it's evil.
00:14:01.501 --> 00:14:03.270
It's evil. money,
00:14:03.336 --> 00:14:04.104
Money, according to the word of god,
00:14:04.170 --> 00:14:05.372
According to the word of god, is a tool.
00:14:05.438 --> 00:14:07.140
Is a tool. it's a resource.
00:14:07.207 --> 00:14:08.508
It's a resource. it's not "the" source.
00:14:08.575 --> 00:14:10.911
It's not "the" source. 1 timothy 6:10, it says,
00:14:10.977 --> 00:14:13.246
1 timothy 6:10, it says, "the love of money."
00:14:13.313 --> 00:14:15.482
"the love of money." say that with me.
00:14:15.548 --> 00:14:16.516
Say that with me. "the love of money."
00:14:16.583 --> 00:14:18.785
"the love of money." and then it doesn't say,
00:14:18.852 --> 00:14:19.653
And then it doesn't say, "is evil."
00:14:19.719 --> 00:14:21.254
"is evil." it says,
00:14:21.321 --> 00:14:21.755
It says, "the love of money
00:14:21.821 --> 00:14:22.722
"the love of money is the root."
00:14:22.789 --> 00:14:24.190
Is the root." and it still doesn't say,
00:14:24.257 --> 00:14:25.358
And it still doesn't say, "evil."
00:14:25.425 --> 00:14:27.093
"evil." it says,
00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:27.594
It says, "the love of money is the root
00:14:27.661 --> 00:14:29.062
"the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."
00:14:29.129 --> 00:14:33.633
Of all kinds of evil." it said,
00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:34.200
It said, when you want to find out why
00:14:34.267 --> 00:14:35.135
When you want to find out why some people do what they do,
00:14:35.201 --> 00:14:36.903
Some people do what they do, it's because they love money
00:14:36.970 --> 00:14:38.805
It's because they love money more than they love god.
00:14:38.872 --> 00:14:41.775
More than they love god. and when money becomes
00:14:41.841 --> 00:14:42.709
And when money becomes your priority,
00:14:42.776 --> 00:14:43.910
Your priority, when it's in the lead,
00:14:43.977 --> 00:14:45.412
When it's in the lead, it takes an opportunity to
00:14:45.478 --> 00:14:47.380
It takes an opportunity to create all kinds of evil.
00:14:47.447 --> 00:14:49.349
Create all kinds of evil. but that's not the only thing
00:14:49.416 --> 00:14:50.317
But that's not the only thing that people can love more than
00:14:50.383 --> 00:14:51.851
That people can love more than they love god.
00:14:51.918 --> 00:14:54.921
They love god. the bible's very clear.
00:14:54.988 --> 00:14:55.855
The bible's very clear. "love the lord your god
00:14:55.922 --> 00:14:57.524
"love the lord your god with all of your heart,
00:14:57.590 --> 00:14:58.325
With all of your heart, with all of your soul,
00:14:58.391 --> 00:14:59.092
With all of your soul, with all of your mind,
00:14:59.159 --> 00:14:59.960
With all of your mind, with all of your strength."
00:15:00.026 --> 00:15:00.760
With all of your strength." your love for him should be
00:15:00.827 --> 00:15:02.529
Your love for him should be your top priority always,
00:15:02.595 --> 00:15:04.731
Your top priority always, end of story.
00:15:04.798 --> 00:15:06.166
End of story. [yes.]
00:15:06.232 --> 00:15:07.534
[yes.] so when you understand
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.335
So when you understand heaven's perspective on wealth
00:15:08.401 --> 00:15:10.537
Heaven's perspective on wealth and your possessions,
00:15:10.603 --> 00:15:11.638
And your possessions, you'll recognize very quickly
00:15:11.705 --> 00:15:13.707
You'll recognize very quickly that you and i do not own
00:15:13.773 --> 00:15:15.709
That you and i do not own anything.
00:15:15.775 --> 00:15:17.143
Anything. [that's right.]
00:15:17.210 --> 00:15:17.978
[that's right.] "the earth is the lord's,
00:15:18.044 --> 00:15:20.046
"the earth is the lord's, and the fullness thereof."
00:15:20.113 --> 00:15:21.948
And the fullness thereof." [yes.]
00:15:22.015 --> 00:15:23.750
[yes.] in the bible,
00:15:23.817 --> 00:15:24.484
In the bible, the lord said,
00:15:24.551 --> 00:15:25.352
The lord said, "all of the gold and all of
00:15:25.418 --> 00:15:27.020
"all of the gold and all of the silver are mine."
00:15:27.087 --> 00:15:29.622
The silver are mine." it says he owns the cattle
00:15:29.689 --> 00:15:31.024
It says he owns the cattle on a thousand hilltops.
00:15:31.091 --> 00:15:32.592
On a thousand hilltops. all you get to do is feed
00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:33.860
All you get to do is feed what he owns.
00:15:33.927 --> 00:15:35.395
What he owns. [that's right.]
00:15:35.462 --> 00:15:37.330
[that's right.] you and i own nothing.
00:15:37.397 --> 00:15:38.932
You and i own nothing. but we are expected to be
00:15:38.999 --> 00:15:40.266
But we are expected to be stewards over everything that
00:15:40.333 --> 00:15:41.935
Stewards over everything that we are given.
00:15:42.002 --> 00:15:43.903
We are given. read what paul said
00:15:43.970 --> 00:15:44.871
Read what paul said in 1 timothy.
00:15:44.938 --> 00:15:45.672
In 1 timothy. "we brought nothing into
00:15:45.739 --> 00:15:46.906
"we brought nothing into this world,
00:15:46.973 --> 00:15:47.574
This world, and it is for certain that
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:48.708
And it is for certain that we can take nothing out."
00:15:48.775 --> 00:15:49.909
We can take nothing out." job said it this way:
00:15:49.976 --> 00:15:51.111
Job said it this way: naked i came from
00:15:51.177 --> 00:15:52.312
Naked i came from my mother's womb,
00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:53.213
My mother's womb, and naked i shall return.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.615
And naked i shall return. [yes.]
00:15:55.682 --> 00:15:56.616
[yes.] everything you think you
00:15:56.683 --> 00:15:57.984
Everything you think you possess,
00:15:58.051 --> 00:15:58.718
Possess, you need to understand
00:15:58.785 --> 00:15:59.819
You need to understand that's only temporary.
00:15:59.886 --> 00:16:01.654
That's only temporary. there are no u-haul trailers
00:16:01.721 --> 00:16:03.189
There are no u-haul trailers getting pulled behind
00:16:03.256 --> 00:16:04.057
Getting pulled behind the hearse.
00:16:04.124 --> 00:16:05.325
The hearse. (laughter)
00:16:05.392 --> 00:16:08.795
(laughter) and everything that you think
00:16:08.862 --> 00:16:10.130
And everything that you think you possess,
00:16:10.196 --> 00:16:10.830
You possess, you need to understand where
00:16:10.897 --> 00:16:12.098
You need to understand where it came from.
00:16:12.165 --> 00:16:13.033
It came from. because jesus said
00:16:13.099 --> 00:16:14.000
Because jesus said in john 15:5,
00:16:14.067 --> 00:16:15.402
In john 15:5, "apart from me
00:16:15.468 --> 00:16:16.669
"apart from me you can do nothing."
00:16:16.736 --> 00:16:20.040
You can do nothing." we're not the independent
00:16:20.106 --> 00:16:21.107
We're not the independent dynamos that many people want
00:16:21.174 --> 00:16:22.509
Dynamos that many people want to think we are.
00:16:22.575 --> 00:16:23.309
To think we are. we are dependent upon god
00:16:23.376 --> 00:16:25.145
We are dependent upon god for everything.
00:16:25.211 --> 00:16:26.780
For everything. [yes.]
00:16:26.846 --> 00:16:27.981
[yes.] if you don't think so,
00:16:28.048 --> 00:16:28.648
If you don't think so, try breathing without him.
00:16:28.715 --> 00:16:30.917
Try breathing without him. so when we say we want to be
00:16:30.984 --> 00:16:32.318
So when we say we want to be prosperous,
00:16:32.385 --> 00:16:33.153
Prosperous, do we want to prosper
00:16:33.219 --> 00:16:34.020
Do we want to prosper according to the world system
00:16:34.087 --> 00:16:35.522
According to the world system or do we want to prosper
00:16:35.588 --> 00:16:36.456
Or do we want to prosper according to god's system?
00:16:36.523 --> 00:16:38.825
According to god's system? god's system is where you get
00:16:38.892 --> 00:16:40.193
God's system is where you get the power to get wealth.
00:16:40.260 --> 00:16:41.394
The power to get wealth. the world system is where
00:16:41.461 --> 00:16:42.595
The world system is where everyone will try to take it
00:16:42.662 --> 00:16:43.596
Everyone will try to take it from you.
00:16:43.663 --> 00:16:45.098
From you. [that's right.]
00:16:45.165 --> 00:16:45.598
[that's right.] in god's system,
00:16:45.665 --> 00:16:46.733
In god's system, wealth doesn't just include
00:16:46.800 --> 00:16:47.967
Wealth doesn't just include your bank account.
00:16:48.034 --> 00:16:48.968
Your bank account. wealth includes
00:16:49.035 --> 00:16:49.669
Wealth includes your physical body,
00:16:49.736 --> 00:16:50.670
Your physical body, your spiritual body,
00:16:50.737 --> 00:16:51.905
Your spiritual body, your soul,
00:16:51.971 --> 00:16:53.006
Your soul, and all aspects of your being.
00:16:53.073 --> 00:16:54.941
And all aspects of your being. the work of your hands is
00:16:55.008 --> 00:16:56.476
The work of your hands is blessed in the kingdom model.
00:16:56.543 --> 00:16:58.378
Blessed in the kingdom model. the work of your life
00:16:58.445 --> 00:16:59.612
The work of your life is blessed.
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:00.146
Is blessed. your children
00:17:00.213 --> 00:17:00.814
Your children and your children's children
00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:02.415
And your children's children are blessed.
00:17:02.482 --> 00:17:03.850
Are blessed. [yes.]
00:17:03.917 --> 00:17:04.284
[yes.] the world will limit
00:17:04.350 --> 00:17:05.151
The world will limit prosperity.
00:17:05.218 --> 00:17:06.152
Prosperity. god says,
00:17:06.219 --> 00:17:06.786
God says, i will not put a limit
00:17:06.853 --> 00:17:07.720
I will not put a limit on your prosperity.
00:17:07.787 --> 00:17:08.855
On your prosperity. i want you to prosper
00:17:08.922 --> 00:17:10.356
I want you to prosper and be in good health even as
00:17:10.423 --> 00:17:12.192
And be in good health even as your soul prospers.
00:17:12.258 --> 00:17:14.828
Your soul prospers. [yes.]
00:17:14.894 --> 00:17:16.196
[yes.] so how does biblical
00:17:16.262 --> 00:17:17.330
So how does biblical and kingdom prosperity work?
00:17:17.397 --> 00:17:19.732
And kingdom prosperity work? look at deuteronomy 28:13.
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.801
Look at deuteronomy 28:13. it says there,
00:17:21.868 --> 00:17:22.735
It says there, "the lord shall make you
00:17:22.802 --> 00:17:23.803
"the lord shall make you the head and not the tail."
00:17:23.870 --> 00:17:26.506
The head and not the tail." [yes.]
00:17:26.573 --> 00:17:27.273
[yes.] and whenever we talk about
00:17:27.340 --> 00:17:28.174
And whenever we talk about the head and not the tail,
00:17:28.241 --> 00:17:29.175
The head and not the tail, people get all excited,
00:17:29.242 --> 00:17:30.276
People get all excited, and they go,
00:17:30.343 --> 00:17:30.710
And they go, "woo, promotion.
00:17:30.777 --> 00:17:31.578
"woo, promotion. we're going from here
00:17:31.644 --> 00:17:32.445
We're going from here to there."
00:17:32.512 --> 00:17:33.746
To there." (laughter)
00:17:33.813 --> 00:17:34.380
(laughter) no.
00:17:34.447 --> 00:17:35.882
No. this verse is not about going
00:17:35.949 --> 00:17:37.183
This verse is not about going from a low place
00:17:37.250 --> 00:17:37.984
From a low place to high place.
00:17:38.051 --> 00:17:39.119
To high place. this verse is about control.
00:17:39.185 --> 00:17:41.754
This verse is about control. [amen.]
00:17:41.821 --> 00:17:42.956
[amen.] who's in charge,
00:17:43.022 --> 00:17:43.890
Who's in charge, the head or the tail?
00:17:43.957 --> 00:17:45.959
The head or the tail? [the head.]
00:17:46.025 --> 00:17:46.493
[the head.] the head.
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:48.228
The head. we actually have a phrase when
00:17:48.294 --> 00:17:49.462
We actually have a phrase when everything gets out of order.
00:17:49.529 --> 00:17:50.530
Everything gets out of order. we say,
00:17:50.597 --> 00:17:50.864
We say, "that's the tail wagging
00:17:50.930 --> 00:17:51.831
"that's the tail wagging the --" what?
00:17:51.898 --> 00:17:53.066
The --" what? "-- dog."
00:17:53.133 --> 00:17:55.268
"-- dog." "the head" means that god
00:17:55.335 --> 00:17:56.870
"the head" means that god is going to take you
00:17:56.936 --> 00:17:57.737
Is going to take you from a position of being
00:17:57.804 --> 00:17:59.539
From a position of being controlled to putting you
00:17:59.606 --> 00:18:01.407
Controlled to putting you in control.
00:18:01.474 --> 00:18:03.910
In control. and this is what kingdom
00:18:03.977 --> 00:18:05.078
And this is what kingdom prosperity and kingdom wealth
00:18:05.145 --> 00:18:06.880
Prosperity and kingdom wealth is about.
00:18:06.946 --> 00:18:07.514
Is about. it's not about possessions
00:18:07.580 --> 00:18:09.149
It's not about possessions possessing you,
00:18:09.215 --> 00:18:10.283
Possessing you, but you being in control of
00:18:10.350 --> 00:18:12.051
But you being in control of your possessions.
00:18:12.118 --> 00:18:13.786
Your possessions. [that's right.]
00:18:13.853 --> 00:18:14.921
[that's right.] david said it this way
00:18:14.988 --> 00:18:16.322
David said it this way in psalm 119:
00:18:16.389 --> 00:18:17.557
In psalm 119: direct my steps by your word,
00:18:17.624 --> 00:18:19.592
Direct my steps by your word, and let no iniquity have
00:18:19.659 --> 00:18:21.127
And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
00:18:21.194 --> 00:18:23.429
Dominion over me. [amen.]
00:18:23.496 --> 00:18:23.863
[amen.] david was saying,
00:18:23.930 --> 00:18:24.497
David was saying, god, do not let anything be
00:18:24.564 --> 00:18:26.666
God, do not let anything be in control of my life
00:18:26.733 --> 00:18:28.334
In control of my life except for you.
00:18:28.401 --> 00:18:30.003
Except for you. [amen.]
00:18:30.069 --> 00:18:30.603
[amen.] because if you're in control,
00:18:30.670 --> 00:18:31.738
Because if you're in control, you'll lead me in paths
00:18:31.804 --> 00:18:32.872
You'll lead me in paths of righteousness.
00:18:32.939 --> 00:18:33.840
Of righteousness. if you're in control,
00:18:33.907 --> 00:18:35.041
If you're in control, i'll be where you want
00:18:35.108 --> 00:18:36.009
I'll be where you want me to be.
00:18:36.075 --> 00:18:36.776
Me to be. if you're in control,
00:18:36.843 --> 00:18:37.844
If you're in control, i'm not going to be
00:18:37.911 --> 00:18:38.611
I'm not going to be overwhelmed by
00:18:38.678 --> 00:18:39.546
Overwhelmed by my circumstances,
00:18:39.612 --> 00:18:40.547
My circumstances, but i'll be able to be
00:18:40.613 --> 00:18:41.714
But i'll be able to be in charge of my circumstances
00:18:41.781 --> 00:18:43.183
In charge of my circumstances because you're in control.
00:18:43.249 --> 00:18:44.851
Because you're in control. [woo.]
00:18:44.918 --> 00:18:45.952
[woo.] david wanted to prosper,
00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:47.120
David wanted to prosper, but that's a lot more than
00:18:47.187 --> 00:18:48.054
But that's a lot more than money because money will not
00:18:48.121 --> 00:18:49.656
Money because money will not solve every problem.
00:18:49.722 --> 00:18:51.891
Solve every problem. consider the fear he faced
00:18:51.958 --> 00:18:53.293
Consider the fear he faced when he was a shepherd boy,
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:54.627
When he was a shepherd boy, and the lion and the bear came
00:18:54.694 --> 00:18:56.663
And the lion and the bear came to eat the sheep.
00:18:56.729 --> 00:18:59.365
To eat the sheep. what's he going to do,
00:18:59.432 --> 00:19:00.066
What's he going to do, write them a check?
00:19:00.133 --> 00:19:02.669
Write them a check? hey, mr. bear,
00:19:02.735 --> 00:19:03.670
Hey, mr. bear, what's it going to cost for
00:19:03.736 --> 00:19:04.604
What's it going to cost for you to leave my dad's flock
00:19:04.671 --> 00:19:05.705
You to leave my dad's flock alone.
00:19:05.772 --> 00:19:07.540
Alone. money's not going to solve
00:19:07.607 --> 00:19:08.408
Money's not going to solve that problem.
00:19:08.474 --> 00:19:10.109
That problem. money doesn't solve problems
00:19:10.176 --> 00:19:11.744
Money doesn't solve problems on the battlefield with
00:19:11.811 --> 00:19:12.879
On the battlefield with goliath or with the amalekites
00:19:12.946 --> 00:19:14.480
Goliath or with the amalekites or with the philistines.
00:19:14.547 --> 00:19:15.381
Or with the philistines. money doesn't solve problems
00:19:15.448 --> 00:19:17.083
Money doesn't solve problems with the king saul,
00:19:17.150 --> 00:19:18.251
With the king saul, who tries to kill david over
00:19:18.318 --> 00:19:20.019
Who tries to kill david over and over and over again.
00:19:20.086 --> 00:19:21.354
And over and over again. what's wealth to a king?
00:19:21.421 --> 00:19:23.122
What's wealth to a king? the king has all the wealth
00:19:23.189 --> 00:19:24.224
The king has all the wealth he wants.
00:19:24.290 --> 00:19:24.791
He wants. what he wants is david dead.
00:19:24.857 --> 00:19:26.626
What he wants is david dead. money's not going to solve
00:19:26.693 --> 00:19:27.660
Money's not going to solve that problem.
00:19:27.727 --> 00:19:29.862
That problem. so when david says,
00:19:29.929 --> 00:19:30.630
So when david says, "lord, let nothing have
00:19:30.697 --> 00:19:32.265
"lord, let nothing have dominion over me,"
00:19:32.332 --> 00:19:33.666
Dominion over me," he's saying,
00:19:33.733 --> 00:19:34.267
He's saying, "lord, if you are in control,
00:19:34.334 --> 00:19:36.769
"lord, if you are in control, then i will prosper and be in
00:19:36.836 --> 00:19:38.705
Then i will prosper and be in good health wherever i go."
00:19:38.771 --> 00:19:41.641
Good health wherever i go." how do you gain that control
00:19:41.708 --> 00:19:43.810
How do you gain that control in your life?
00:19:43.876 --> 00:19:45.411
In your life? first, remember.
00:19:45.478 --> 00:19:47.680
First, remember. remember that you cannot
00:19:47.747 --> 00:19:49.415
Remember that you cannot prosper without god.
00:19:49.482 --> 00:19:51.584
Prosper without god. [that's right.]
00:19:51.651 --> 00:19:52.118
[that's right.] "it is the lord who gives you
00:19:52.185 --> 00:19:54.787
"it is the lord who gives you the power to get wealth."
00:19:54.854 --> 00:19:58.157
The power to get wealth." and once you receive this
00:19:58.224 --> 00:19:59.325
And once you receive this power,
00:19:59.392 --> 00:19:59.993
Power, it is your responsibility
00:20:00.059 --> 00:20:01.761
It is your responsibility to use it for his glory.
00:20:01.828 --> 00:20:04.831
To use it for his glory. utilize kingdom management
00:20:04.897 --> 00:20:07.867
Utilize kingdom management principles.
00:20:07.934 --> 00:20:09.435
Principles. to find some of those
00:20:09.502 --> 00:20:10.270
To find some of those principles,
00:20:10.336 --> 00:20:10.837
Principles, look at joshua 1.
00:20:10.903 --> 00:20:13.373
Look at joshua 1. joshua is a successor
00:20:13.439 --> 00:20:15.908
Joshua is a successor to moses.
00:20:15.975 --> 00:20:17.510
To moses. and the first principle that
00:20:17.577 --> 00:20:19.145
And the first principle that god shares with joshua
00:20:19.212 --> 00:20:20.747
God shares with joshua is this:
00:20:20.813 --> 00:20:21.681
Is this: fear not.
00:20:21.748 --> 00:20:23.583
Fear not. say that with me.
00:20:23.650 --> 00:20:24.651
Say that with me. fear not.
00:20:24.717 --> 00:20:27.353
Fear not. now god didn't exclusively
00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.655
Now god didn't exclusively share this with joshua,
00:20:28.721 --> 00:20:29.622
Share this with joshua, but he said it to him over
00:20:29.689 --> 00:20:31.090
But he said it to him over and over and over again.
00:20:31.157 --> 00:20:32.659
And over and over again. and it's a reminder to each
00:20:32.725 --> 00:20:33.893
And it's a reminder to each and every one of us.
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:34.827
And every one of us. he said,
00:20:34.894 --> 00:20:35.395
He said, "be strong and courageous."
00:20:35.461 --> 00:20:37.497
"be strong and courageous." why?
00:20:37.563 --> 00:20:38.798
Why? because he knew that as joshua
00:20:38.865 --> 00:20:40.133
Because he knew that as joshua was going to walk into
00:20:40.199 --> 00:20:41.267
Was going to walk into he promised land,
00:20:41.334 --> 00:20:42.201
He promised land, fear was going to be one of
00:20:42.268 --> 00:20:43.469
Fear was going to be one of the first things that was
00:20:43.536 --> 00:20:44.570
The first things that was going to come knocking
00:20:44.637 --> 00:20:45.438
Going to come knocking at the door of his heart.
00:20:45.505 --> 00:20:48.441
At the door of his heart. how was joshua supposed to
00:20:48.508 --> 00:20:49.742
How was joshua supposed to overcome fear?
00:20:49.809 --> 00:20:52.312
Overcome fear? he was to remember.
00:20:52.378 --> 00:20:55.014
He was to remember. remember the god who brought
00:20:55.081 --> 00:20:56.082
Remember the god who brought you out of egypt.
00:20:56.149 --> 00:20:57.817
You out of egypt. remember the god who brought

Remember the god who brought you through the red sea.
00:20:58.985 --> 00:21:00.653
You through the red sea. remember the god who was
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.821
Remember the god who was the cloud by day
00:21:01.888 --> 00:21:02.722
The cloud by day and the fire by night.
00:21:02.789 --> 00:21:03.790
And the fire by night. remember the god who fed you
00:21:03.856 --> 00:21:05.258
Remember the god who fed you when you were hungry.
00:21:05.325 --> 00:21:06.159
When you were hungry. remember the god who brought
00:21:06.225 --> 00:21:07.493
Remember the god who brought you water out of the rock.
00:21:07.560 --> 00:21:08.861
You water out of the rock. remember the god that was with

Remember the god that was with you in battle against those
00:21:10.263 --> 00:21:11.731
You in battle against those who rose up against you.
00:21:11.798 --> 00:21:12.965
Who rose up against you. if you will spend more time
00:21:13.032 --> 00:21:14.834
If you will spend more time remembering how good god's
00:21:14.901 --> 00:21:16.402
Remembering how good god's been,
00:21:16.469 --> 00:21:17.036
Been, you'll worry less about where
00:21:17.103 --> 00:21:18.371
You'll worry less about where you are and you will not be
00:21:18.438 --> 00:21:19.639
You are and you will not be afraid of where you're going.
00:21:19.706 --> 00:21:21.908
Afraid of where you're going. (applause)
00:21:21.974 --> 00:21:25.244
(applause) the second thing that you have
00:21:25.311 --> 00:21:26.212
The second thing that you have to do is you have got to stay
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:28.247
To do is you have got to stay in the word of god.
00:21:28.314 --> 00:21:30.316
In the word of god. [that's right.]
00:21:30.383 --> 00:21:31.117
[that's right.] because he says,
00:21:31.184 --> 00:21:31.651
Because he says, "be strong and of
00:21:31.718 --> 00:21:32.485
"be strong and of good courage."
00:21:32.552 --> 00:21:33.286
Good courage." and he tells joshua,
00:21:33.353 --> 00:21:34.420
And he tells joshua, "observe to do all that my
00:21:34.487 --> 00:21:36.889
"observe to do all that my servant moses commanded you...
00:21:36.956 --> 00:21:38.658
Servant moses commanded you... and you will prosper
00:21:38.725 --> 00:21:40.426
And you will prosper wherever you go."
00:21:40.493 --> 00:21:42.829
Wherever you go." how many of you would sign up

Well, here's what god said. if you keep this word,
00:21:54.474 --> 00:21:56.409
If you keep this word, if you observe to do it,
00:21:56.476 --> 00:21:58.411
If you observe to do it, if you keep it in your mind,
00:21:58.478 --> 00:21:59.679
If you keep it in your mind, if you keep it in your mouth,
00:21:59.746 --> 00:22:00.880
If you keep it in your mouth, if you keep it in
00:22:00.947 --> 00:22:01.914
If you keep it in your thoughts,
00:22:01.981 --> 00:22:03.416
Your thoughts, "you will prosper wherever
00:22:03.483 --> 00:22:06.152
"you will prosper wherever you go."
00:22:06.219 --> 00:22:07.120
You go." [yes.]
00:22:07.186 --> 00:22:07.687
[yes.] he said,
00:22:07.754 --> 00:22:08.187
He said, "meditate upon it day
00:22:08.254 --> 00:22:09.455
"meditate upon it day and night...observe it."
00:22:09.522 --> 00:22:10.923
And night...observe it." that means keep it in front of

Your eyes. and then he said, speak it,
00:22:12.592 --> 00:22:14.560
And then he said, speak it, "keep it in your mouth."
00:22:14.627 --> 00:22:16.763
"keep it in your mouth." philippians 4:8,
00:22:16.829 --> 00:22:18.064
Philippians 4:8, paul gives us this charge:
00:22:18.131 --> 00:22:19.632
Paul gives us this charge: whatever things are true,
00:22:19.699 --> 00:22:20.666
Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,
00:22:20.733 --> 00:22:21.834
Whatever things are noble, whatever things are just...
00:22:21.901 --> 00:22:23.069
Whatever things are just... think on these things.
00:22:23.136 --> 00:22:26.372
Think on these things. one of the reasons why people
00:22:26.439 --> 00:22:27.607
One of the reasons why people cannot enable themselves to
00:22:27.673 --> 00:22:29.642
Cannot enable themselves to receive what god has provided,
00:22:29.709 --> 00:22:31.444
Receive what god has provided, one of the reasons that people
00:22:31.511 --> 00:22:32.378
One of the reasons that people do not prosper is because
00:22:32.445 --> 00:22:34.080
Do not prosper is because they have a carnal mind
00:22:34.147 --> 00:22:35.848
They have a carnal mind and not a kingdom mind.
00:22:35.915 --> 00:22:37.650
And not a kingdom mind. [right.]

A carnal mind hears about a down economy.
00:23:04.310 --> 00:23:05.511
A down economy. a carnal mind hears about

And grabs them around the throat
00:23:13.820 --> 00:23:14.353
The throat and says,

And says, "you're going to go bankrupt.

"you're going to go bankrupt. you're not going to make it.

You're not going to make it. you're going to starve."
00:23:17.223 --> 00:23:18.524
You're going to starve." the kingdom mindset says,
