John Bevere: Multiply Your God-Given Potential | Multiply Your God-Given Potential | August 24, 2021
- - MATT CROUCH: JOHN BEVERE, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
- 00:00:01.713 --> 00:00:04.283
- WHAT ARE WE GONNA UNPACK?
- 00:00:04.283 --> 00:00:06.418
- - JOHN BEVERE: THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF PEOPLE BACKSLIDING
- 00:00:06.418 --> 00:00:10.022
- IS THAT THEY'RE NOT ENGAGED WITH WHAT
- 00:00:10.022 --> 00:00:11.723
- THEY'RE CALLED TO DO.
- 00:00:11.723 --> 00:00:13.992
- WE CANNOT IGNORE WHAT WE ARE CREATED TO DO
- 00:00:13.992 --> 00:00:18.430
- FOR BUILDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
- 00:00:18.430 --> 00:00:21.100
- HOW CAN WE IGNORE THAT AND JUST EMPHASIZE
- 00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:23.302
- OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST?
- 00:00:23.302 --> 00:00:25.137
- BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE LOSE THEIR PASSION,
- 00:00:25.137 --> 00:00:27.005
- THEY DON'T SEE THEIR LIVES AS IMPORTANT.
- 00:00:27.005 --> 00:00:31.176
- - EVERYONE HAS A GIFT. HOW DO WE MULTIPLY THEM?
- 00:00:31.176 --> 00:00:36.248
- - YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS TO COME BOLDLY
- 00:00:36.248 --> 00:00:38.851
- TO THE THRONE OF GRACE TO OBTAIN GRACE TO
- 00:00:38.851 --> 00:00:41.253
- HELP IN A TIME OF NEED.
- 00:00:41.253 --> 00:00:42.788
- THERE IS NEED IN YOUR WORLD OF INFLUENCE,
- 00:00:42.788 --> 00:00:46.391
- AND IF YOU TAP INTO THIS GRACE, GOD WILL INCREASE
- 00:00:46.391 --> 00:00:49.962
- YOUR WORLD OF INFLUENCE.

- ♪
- 00:00:53.732 --> 00:01:03.709

- - WE WELCOME YOU TO PRAISE.
- 00:01:19.558 --> 00:01:21.093
- WE ARE RIGHT HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
- 00:01:21.093 --> 00:01:23.662
- JOHN BEVERE, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
- 00:01:23.662 --> 00:01:26.098
- WHAT ARE WE GONNA UNPACK?
- 00:01:26.098 --> 00:01:27.566
- - WELL FIRST OF ALL, MATT AND LAURIE, IT'S
- 00:01:27.566 --> 00:01:29.234
- GREAT TO BE BACK WITH YOU, AND SECONDLY, I WANT
- 00:01:29.234 --> 00:01:31.603
- TO SAY THIS MESSAGE IS FOR EVERYONE.
- 00:01:31.603 --> 00:01:33.505
- I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A STAY-AT-HOME MOM, AN
- 00:01:33.505 --> 00:01:35.407
- ER NURSE, A HAIR STYLIST, I DON'T CARE IF YOU WORK
- 00:01:35.407 --> 00:01:38.243
- IN A FACTORY, THIS IS A MESSAGE THAT I BELIEVE
- 00:01:38.243 --> 00:01:40.746
- GOD BURNED IN MY HEART FOR EVERYONE WHO DESIRES
- 00:01:40.746 --> 00:01:43.549
- TO ADVANCE THE KINGDOM.
- 00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:45.117
- WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT IS BASICALLY SUMMED UP IN THIS.
- 00:01:45.117 --> 00:01:48.987
- ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO, ONE OF OUR FINANCIAL
- 00:01:48.987 --> 00:01:51.957
- PARTNERS-- AS YOU KNOW, AT MESSENGER INTERNATIONAL,
- 00:01:51.957 --> 00:01:54.126
- WE'VE GIVEN AWAY MORE THAN 41 MILLION RESOURCES
- 00:01:54.126 --> 00:01:56.261
- TO PASTORS AND LEADERS IN 226 NATIONS.
- 00:01:56.261 --> 00:01:59.531
- ONE OF OUR PARTNERS WHO'S REALLY HELPED US DO THIS,
- 00:01:59.531 --> 00:02:02.134
- HE AND I WERE PLAYING GOLF AT RIVIERA.
- 00:02:02.134 --> 00:02:04.303
- HE HAD TREATED ME.
- 00:02:04.303 --> 00:02:05.771
- AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL MORNING OF GOLF.
- 00:02:05.771 --> 00:02:08.340
- WE WERE ON THE WAY BACK, AND HE SAID JOHN, CAN I
- 00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:10.509
- BE VULNERABLE WITH YOU FOR A FEW MINUTES?
- 00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:12.277
- AND I SAID SURE.
- 00:02:12.277 --> 00:02:14.079
- AND HE SAID I JUST TURNED 50.
- 00:02:14.079 --> 00:02:16.181
- HE SAID I HAVE REALLY WORKED HARD THE LAST
- 00:02:16.181 --> 00:02:19.651
- 30 YEARS OF MY LIFE TO WHERE NOW MY BUSINESSES,
- 00:02:19.651 --> 00:02:22.187
- I'M WORTH A NET WORTH OF 9 MILLION.
- 00:02:22.187 --> 00:02:24.923
- HE SAID MY WIFE IS CARED FOR LIFE,
- 00:02:24.923 --> 00:02:26.625
- MY CHILDREN ARE CARED FOR LIFE.
- 00:02:26.625 --> 00:02:28.393
- WHY SHOULD I WORK AS HARD AS I'VE BEEN DOING THE
- 00:02:28.393 --> 00:02:32.564
- LAST 30 YEARS IN THE DECADE OF MY 50S?
- 00:02:32.564 --> 00:02:35.400
- AND I SAID STAN, HERE'S THE DEAL, EVERY SINGLE
- 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.737
- HUMAN BEING HAS A CALL OF GOD UPON OUR LIFE.
- 00:02:38.737 --> 00:02:41.373
- LIKE, IF WE SAY THE WORDS "HE HAS A CALL ON HIS LIFE,
- 00:02:41.373 --> 00:02:44.276
- SHE HAS A CALL ON HER LIFE",
- 00:02:44.276 --> 00:02:45.777
- WHERE DO OUR MINDS GO?
- 00:02:45.777 --> 00:02:48.313
- WE'RE THINKING SHE'S A MISSIONARY,
- 00:02:48.313 --> 00:02:50.415
- SHE'S A WORSHIP LEADER, HE'S CALLED TO BE
- 00:02:50.415 --> 00:02:52.184
- A PASTOR OF A CHURCH.
- 00:02:52.184 --> 00:02:53.785
- NO, THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE.
- 00:02:53.785 --> 00:02:56.421
- EVERY SINGLE PERSON HAS A CALLING ON THEIR LIFE,
- 00:02:56.421 --> 00:03:00.659
- AND WHAT GOD DOES IS HE GIVES US THESE
- 00:03:00.659 --> 00:03:03.729
- SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES.
- 00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:05.864
- NOW THESE ABILITIES ARE NOT NATURAL.
- 00:03:05.864 --> 00:03:08.467
- THEY'RE ACTUALLY HIS ABILITIES THAT HE
- 00:03:08.467 --> 00:03:10.102
- ENTRUSTS TO US AS STEWARDS.
- 00:03:10.102 --> 00:03:12.838
- AND HE GIVES US THESE ABILITIES TO BE ABLE TO
- 00:03:12.838 --> 00:03:15.140
- ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE'S CREATED US TO DO.
- 00:03:15.140 --> 00:03:17.643
- I SAID NOW WE HAVE A CHOICE OF ONE OF THREE
- 00:03:17.643 --> 00:03:20.879
- THINGS TO DO WITH THESE GIFTS.
- 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.215
- I SAID WE CAN USE THEM TO JUST BUILD OUR LIVES AND
- 00:03:23.215 --> 00:03:26.385
- OUR FAMILY, WE CAN USE THEM AS INTENDED TO BUILD
- 00:03:26.385 --> 00:03:29.388
- THE KINGDOM, I SAID OR WE CAN JUST SIT ON THEM.
- 00:03:29.388 --> 00:03:32.958
- AND I SAID THE PROBLEM HERE IS, STAN,
- 00:03:32.958 --> 00:03:36.061
- YOU'VE CONNECTED MY DOTS.
- 00:03:36.061 --> 00:03:37.829
- YOU SEE MY GIFTING AS WRITING AND SPEAKING, AND
- 00:03:37.829 --> 00:03:40.532
- I SAID YOU CONNECT MY DOTS OF HOW THEY BUILD
- 00:03:40.532 --> 00:03:42.768
- THE KINGDOM. YOU HAVEN'T CONNECTED YOUR DOTS.
- 00:03:42.768 --> 00:03:46.705
- AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, YOUR GIFTS ARE
- 00:03:46.705 --> 00:03:49.274
- MORE VALUABLE THAN MINE.
- 00:03:49.274 --> 00:03:50.909
- AND HE SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- 00:03:50.909 --> 00:03:52.511
- AND I SAID THE BIBLE SAYS THE PARTS OF THE BODY
- 00:03:52.511 --> 00:03:54.913
- THAT ARE SEEN ARE NOT AS VALUABLE AS THE
- 00:03:54.913 --> 00:03:57.249
- PARTS THAT ARE SEEN.
- 00:03:57.249 --> 00:03:58.917
- I SAID A LIVER IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE THAN A MOUTH.
- 00:03:58.917 --> 00:04:01.386
- YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SPEAK,
- 00:04:01.386 --> 00:04:03.322
- BUT YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT A LIVER.
- 00:04:03.322 --> 00:04:05.123
- I SAID SO STAN, YOUR GIFTS ARE MORE VALUABLE
- 00:04:05.123 --> 00:04:07.893
- THAN MINE SO YOU HAVEN'T CONNECTED YOUR DOTS.
- 00:04:07.893 --> 00:04:10.562
- THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T HAVE THE PASSION OF
- 00:04:10.562 --> 00:04:12.397
- BILLY GRAHAM, YOU DON'T HAVE THE PASSION OF
- 00:04:12.397 --> 00:04:14.533
- MOTHER TERESA, YOU DON'T HAVE THE PASSION OF
- 00:04:14.533 --> 00:04:16.702
- ORAL ROBERTS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
- 00:04:16.702 --> 00:04:18.303
- CONNECTED YOUR DOTS.
- 00:04:18.303 --> 00:04:19.538
- SO SIX MONTHS LATER, I'M ON THE PHONE WITH HIM
- 00:04:19.538 --> 00:04:21.440
- AND I GO STAN, HOW YOU DOING MAN?
- 00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:24.109
- HE GOES YOU WANT THE HONEST TRUTH?
- 00:04:24.109 --> 00:04:26.144
- I SAID SURE, WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR A LONG TIME.
- 00:04:26.144 --> 00:04:28.613
- HE SAID IN A GOOD WAY, I HAVE BEEN HAUNTED EVERY
- 00:04:28.613 --> 00:04:31.817
- DAY THE LAST SIX MONTHS BY WHAT YOU SPOKE TO ME.
- 00:04:31.817 --> 00:04:34.252
- I SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?
- 00:04:34.252 --> 00:04:35.520
- HE SAID-- NOW THESE ARE HIS WORDS.
- 00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:37.389
- I HOPE I DON'T GET IN TROUBLE.
- 00:04:37.389 --> 00:04:38.590
- HE SAID I'M BUSTING MY BUTT TO BUILD MY
- 00:04:38.590 --> 00:04:40.158
- BUSINESSES UP TO 35 MILLION BECAUSE I HAVE
- 00:04:40.158 --> 00:04:43.595
- CONNECTED MY DOTS OF WHAT I'M CALLED TO DO IS
- 00:04:43.595 --> 00:04:46.765
- RELATED TO BUILDING THE KINGDOM.
- 00:04:46.765 --> 00:04:48.467
- AND THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK.
- 00:04:48.467 --> 00:04:51.136
- THIS BOOK HELPS YOU IDENTIFY YOUR GOD-GIVEN
- 00:04:51.136 --> 00:04:55.340
- SUPERNATURAL GIFTS.
- 00:04:55.340 --> 00:04:56.808
- IT HELPS YOU TO DEVELOP THEM, AND IT HELPS YOU
- 00:04:56.808 --> 00:05:00.345
- TO MOST IMPORTANTLY MULTIPLY THEM.
- 00:05:00.345 --> 00:05:03.749
- SEE, FOR MOST OF OUR VIEWERS RIGHT NOW
- 00:05:03.749 --> 00:05:05.584
- YOU'RE WATCHING US.
- 00:05:05.584 --> 00:05:07.819
- NINETY MINUTES A WEEK YOU'RE IN THE SACRED.
- 00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:11.490
- WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR HOME GROUP, YOU'RE IN THE SACRED.
- 00:05:11.490 --> 00:05:13.625
- WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR 30 MINUTES OF QUIET TIME,
- 00:05:13.625 --> 00:05:15.460
- YOU'RE IN THE SACRED.
- 00:05:15.460 --> 00:05:16.695
- WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING TBN, YOU'RE IN THE SACRED.
- 00:05:16.695 --> 00:05:19.231
- BUT THE REST OF THE TIME, YOU'RE IN THE SECULAR.
- 00:05:19.231 --> 00:05:21.299
- THIS IS SUCH A LIE.
- 00:05:21.299 --> 00:05:23.268
- YOU ARE IN THE SACRED 24/7.
- 00:05:23.268 --> 00:05:26.838
- JESUS MADE THIS STATEMENT, AND THIS IS
- 00:05:26.838 --> 00:05:29.074
- MIND-BLOWING TO ME WHY WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS.
- 00:05:29.074 --> 00:05:32.511
- PAUL TALKS IN EPHESIANS 2:8 AND 9 THAT WE'RE
- 00:05:32.511 --> 00:05:34.813
- SAVED BY GRACE. IT'S NOT OF WORKS, RIGHT?
- 00:05:34.813 --> 00:05:36.715
- HE TALKS ABOUT OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST.
- 00:05:36.715 --> 00:05:39.050
- BUT WE ALWAYS STOP RIGHT THERE.
- 00:05:39.050 --> 00:05:41.586
- WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT VERSE 10?
- 00:05:41.586 --> 00:05:43.455
- BECAUSE PAUL SAYS FOR, AFTER HE TALKS ABOUT
- 00:05:43.455 --> 00:05:46.057
- BEING SAVED BY GRACE, NOT OF WORKS, IT'S THE GIFT
- 00:05:46.057 --> 00:05:48.026
- OF GOD, HE SAYS, FOR.
- 00:05:48.026 --> 00:05:49.494
- "FOR" MEANS BECAUSE OF THIS.
- 00:05:49.494 --> 00:05:51.630
- WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS
- 00:05:51.630 --> 00:05:53.732
- TO DO GOOD WORKS WHICH GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE
- 00:05:53.732 --> 00:05:57.636
- FOR US TO DO. NOW, THAT'S OUR CALLING,
- 00:05:57.636 --> 00:06:01.506
- SO WHY IS IT THAT WE'RE EITHER/OR?
- 00:06:01.506 --> 00:06:04.876
- IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT OUR CALLING AS WHO WE ARE
- 00:06:04.876 --> 00:06:09.414
- IN CHRIST, OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST.
- 00:06:09.414 --> 00:06:11.483
- IF I LOOK AT THE WORDS OF JESUS, I UNDERSTAND THIS
- 00:06:11.483 --> 00:06:15.220
- BECAUSE JESUS SAID IN JOHN 4:24, HE SAID MY
- 00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:18.056
- FOOD IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME
- 00:06:18.056 --> 00:06:22.627
- AND TO FINISH HIS WORK.
- 00:06:22.627 --> 00:06:24.329
- NOW THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT DOES FOOD DO FOR US?
- 00:06:24.329 --> 00:06:26.765
- IT STRENGTHENS US.
- 00:06:26.765 --> 00:06:28.333
- I REMEMBER FASTING FOR TWO DAYS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
- 00:06:28.333 --> 00:06:33.038
- I DID NOT FEEL LIKE GOING TO THE GYM ON THE SECOND
- 00:06:33.038 --> 00:06:36.341
- DAY OF THE FAST. I DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY.
- 00:06:36.341 --> 00:06:39.845
- I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH BECAUSE FOOD ENERGIZES US.
- 00:06:39.845 --> 00:06:43.748
- SO NOW I'M LOOKING AT ALL THESE BELIEVERS WHO DON'T
- 00:06:43.748 --> 00:06:46.751
- UNDERSTAND THEIR CALLING THAT GOD PREPARED FOR
- 00:06:46.751 --> 00:06:49.454
- THEM IN ADVANCE TO DO BECAUSE THIS HASN'T
- 00:06:49.454 --> 00:06:52.090
- BEEN EMPHASIZED AND THEY'RE WEAK.
- 00:06:52.090 --> 00:06:54.860
- CAN I SAY IN THE 40 YEARS THAT I HAVE WALKED WITH
- 00:06:54.860 --> 00:06:58.630
- JESUS, THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE, AND I'M NOT JOKING
- 00:06:58.630 --> 00:07:03.101
- WHEN I SAY THIS, OF PEOPLE BACKSLIDING IS
- 00:07:03.101 --> 00:07:06.471
- THAT THEY'RE NOT ENGAGED WITH WHAT
- 00:07:06.471 --> 00:07:08.173
- THEY'RE CALLED TO DO.
- 00:07:08.173 --> 00:07:09.975
- OKAY, NOW, JESUS MAKES THE STATEMENT IN JOHN 20:21,
- 00:07:09.975 --> 00:07:13.078
- "AS THE FATHER SENT ME, SO I SEND YOU."
- 00:07:13.078 --> 00:07:15.714
- WHY HAVEN'T WE CONNECTED THIS ALL TOGETHER, THAT
- 00:07:15.714 --> 00:07:18.250
- WE CANNOT IGNORE WHAT WE ARE CREATED TO DO FOR
- 00:07:18.250 --> 00:07:23.054
- BUILDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF
- 00:07:23.054 --> 00:07:24.956
- US ARE CALLED TO BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
- 00:07:24.956 --> 00:07:26.625
- HOW CAN WE IGNORE THAT AND JUST EMPHASIZE OUR
- 00:07:26.625 --> 00:07:30.262
- IDENTITY IN CHRIST?
- 00:07:30.262 --> 00:07:31.596
- BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE LOSE THEIR PASSION LIKE STAN
- 00:07:31.596 --> 00:07:34.399
- WAS STRUGGLING WITH.
- 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:35.800
- THEY DON'T SEE THEIR LIVES AS IMPORTANT.
- 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.970
- THIS IS WHAT GAVE BILLY GRAHAM AND MOTHER TERESA
- 00:07:38.970 --> 00:07:41.439
- THE PASSION, AND THIS IS WHY I'VE WANTED TO
- 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.142
- WRITE THIS BOOK FOR SEVEN YEARS.
- 00:07:44.142 --> 00:07:47.712
- - Hello, friends.
- 00:07:48.146 --> 00:07:49.281
- TBN is helping millions around the world
- 00:07:49.281 --> 00:07:51.316
- discover their purpose and destiny.
- 00:07:51.316 --> 00:07:54.119
- And this would not be possible
- 00:07:54.119 --> 00:07:55.720
- without your faithful partnership
- 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.556
- with this strategic television ministry.
- 00:07:57.556 --> 00:08:00.225
- You know, when I think about purpose and destiny,
- 00:08:00.225 --> 00:08:02.994
- it takes me back to the moment I first became aware of God.
- 00:08:02.994 --> 00:08:06.865
- Towards the end of the Vietnam War as a young man,
- 00:08:06.865 --> 00:08:09.301
- I had no concept of purpose,
- 00:08:09.301 --> 00:08:11.202
- in fact, I had the misguided idea
- 00:08:11.202 --> 00:08:13.805
- that if I didn't make it out alive,
- 00:08:13.805 --> 00:08:15.640
- it really wouldn't matter much.
- 00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:17.542
- Then God got ahold of my life and I learned,
- 00:08:17.542 --> 00:08:20.445
- He had a divine plan for me.
- 00:08:20.445 --> 00:08:23.281
- That's why I'm so excited
- 00:08:23.281 --> 00:08:24.883
- to offer "X: Multiply Your God-Given Potential."
- 00:08:24.883 --> 00:08:28.987
- Author John Bevere uses God's word
- 00:08:28.987 --> 00:08:31.523
- to help us identify and fulfill the call God has
- 00:08:31.523 --> 00:08:35.093
- on each of our lives.
- 00:08:35.093 --> 00:08:36.661
- It's our way of saying thank you for your gift of support
- 00:08:36.661 --> 00:08:40.098
- in any amount.
- 00:08:40.098 --> 00:08:41.633
- - Every single person has a calling on their life.
- 00:08:41.633 --> 00:08:45.537
- And what God does,
- 00:08:45.537 --> 00:08:47.639
- is He gives us these supernatural abilities.
- 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.775
- Now, these abilities are not natural.
- 00:08:50.775 --> 00:08:53.244
- They're actually His abilities
- 00:08:53.244 --> 00:08:54.746
- that He entrusts to us as stewards.
- 00:08:54.746 --> 00:08:57.749
- And He gives us these abilities
- 00:08:57.749 --> 00:08:59.517
- to be able to accomplish what He's created us to do.
- 00:08:59.517 --> 00:09:02.554
- - [Tom] Friends, thank you from the bottom of my heart
- 00:09:02.554 --> 00:09:05.423
- for enabling us to help millions find their purpose
- 00:09:05.423 --> 00:09:08.827
- and destiny around the world.
- 00:09:08.827 --> 00:09:10.729
- Please call now,
- 00:09:10.729 --> 00:09:11.863
- operators are standing by.
- 00:09:11.863 --> 00:09:16.768
- - WE ARE HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
- 00:09:17.535 --> 00:09:19.771
- WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTIPLICATION.
- 00:09:19.771 --> 00:09:21.973
- WHAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED IS THAT EVERYONE HAS A GIFT.
- 00:09:21.973 --> 00:09:26.344
- SO HOW DO WE MULTIPLY THEM?
- 00:09:26.344 --> 00:09:29.748
- - ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S FIRST OF ALL THE ANSWER,
- 00:09:29.748 --> 00:09:32.651
- THE QUICK ANSWER IS BY THAT SUPERNATURAL GIFTING.
- 00:09:32.651 --> 00:09:35.520
- THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN MULTIPLY.
- 00:09:35.520 --> 00:09:37.022
- NOW LET'S TAKE THIS BACK TO THE FACT THAT
- 00:09:37.022 --> 00:09:39.958
- WE ARE STEWARDS.
- 00:09:39.958 --> 00:09:42.260
- PAUL SAID LET A MAN SO CONSIDER US AS SERVANTS OF
- 00:09:42.260 --> 00:09:44.663
- CHRIST AND STEWARDS-- FOR HIM, IT WAS OF THE
- 00:09:44.663 --> 00:09:47.232
- MYSTERIES OF GOD, FOR US IT'S WHATEVER GIFT WE HAVE.
- 00:09:47.232 --> 00:09:50.335
- PETER SAYS IN 1 PETER 4:10, AS EACH ONE HAS
- 00:09:50.335 --> 00:09:53.038
- RECEIVED A GIFT.
- 00:09:53.038 --> 00:09:54.439
- HE DOESN'T SAY AS EACH PASTOR, EACH MISSIONARY.
- 00:09:54.439 --> 00:09:57.208
- EVERY SINGLE PERSON HAS RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE GIFT.
- 00:09:57.208 --> 00:10:00.011
- MINISTER TO ONE ANOTHER AS GOOD STEWARDS OF THE
- 00:10:00.011 --> 00:10:02.781
- MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD.
- 00:10:02.781 --> 00:10:04.349
- THE DEFINITION OF A STEWARD IS ONE WHO
- 00:10:04.349 --> 00:10:06.351
- MANAGES WHAT BELONGS TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
- 00:10:06.351 --> 00:10:08.853
- SO JESUS TELLS THIS PARABLE, OKAY?
- 00:10:08.853 --> 00:10:12.390
- NOW BEFORE I TALK ABOUT THE PARABLE, LET'S TALK
- 00:10:12.390 --> 00:10:14.626
- ABOUT WHAT PAUL SAYS IN 1 CORINTHIANS 4, LET A MAN
- 00:10:14.626 --> 00:10:17.228
- SO CONSIDER US SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND STEWARDS.
- 00:10:17.228 --> 00:10:19.864
- VERSE TWO HE SAYS IT IS REQUIRED ONE THING,
- 00:10:19.864 --> 00:10:23.902
- ONE THING OF THE STEWARD AND WHAT IS IT?
- 00:10:23.902 --> 00:10:27.539
- THAT HE IS FOUND FAITHFUL.
- 00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:29.274
- YOU SAY HOW DO YOU EVER GET MULTIPLICATION AND
- 00:10:29.274 --> 00:10:31.609
- FAITHFUL IN THE SAME ROOM?
- 00:10:31.609 --> 00:10:33.445
- IT'S VERY EASY.
- 00:10:33.445 --> 00:10:34.679
- YOU LOOK AT THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS.
- 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:36.481
- NOW JESUS TALKS ABOUT THIS PARABLE,
- 00:10:36.481 --> 00:10:38.616
- AND HE SAYS THERE'S THIS VERY WEALTHY LANDOWNER,
- 00:10:38.616 --> 00:10:40.919
- AND HE CALLS TOGETHER THREE OF HIS SERVANTS.
- 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.487
- THIS IS MATTHEW 25, AND HE DELIVERS HIS GOODS TO THEM.
- 00:10:42.487 --> 00:10:47.092
- AND HE'S SAYING IT'S IN YOUR POSSESSION, YOU'RE
- 00:10:47.092 --> 00:10:49.661
- GONNA BE STEWARDS, AND I'M GOING ON A LONG TRIP,
- 00:10:49.661 --> 00:10:52.297
- AND LONG TRIP IS EMPHASIZED TWICE, MEANING
- 00:10:52.297 --> 00:10:54.499
- YOU'RE REALLY STEWARDS OF WHAT I OWN, OKAY?
- 00:10:54.499 --> 00:10:58.103
- TO ONE, HE GIVES FIVE TALENTS; TO ONE,
- 00:10:58.103 --> 00:11:00.004
- HE GIVES TWO; TO ONE, HE GIVES ONE.
- 00:11:00.004 --> 00:11:01.473
- NOW A TALENT IS A BAG OF SILVER, BUT WE ALL KNOW
- 00:11:01.473 --> 00:11:05.443
- JESUS IS NEVER TALKING ABOUT WHAT HE'S TALKING
- 00:11:05.443 --> 00:11:07.412
- ABOUT WHEN HE TELLS A PARABLE.
- 00:11:07.412 --> 00:11:09.514
- HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT BAGS OF SILVER.
- 00:11:09.514 --> 00:11:11.149
- HE'S TALKING ABOUT OUR SUPERNATURAL GIFTINGS.
- 00:11:11.149 --> 00:11:13.918
- - WOW.
- 00:11:13.918 --> 00:11:15.386
- - CHARISMA. ALL RIGHT, LET'S JUST PUT NAMES ON
- 00:11:15.386 --> 00:11:18.022
- THIS TO PERSONALIZE IT.
- 00:11:18.022 --> 00:11:19.324
- ALLISON GETS FIVE, DAVE GETS TWO, LARRY-- AND IF
- 00:11:19.324 --> 00:11:23.528
- YOUR NAME'S LARRY, PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED.
- 00:11:23.528 --> 00:11:25.797
- LARRY GETS ONE. IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL, OKAY.
- 00:11:25.797 --> 00:11:27.999
- LARRY GETS ONE.
- 00:11:27.999 --> 00:11:29.834
- ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT HAPPENS?
- 00:11:29.834 --> 00:11:31.302
- HE'S GONE FOR A LONG TIME, AND HE COMES BACK
- 00:11:31.302 --> 00:11:33.171
- TO SEE WHAT THEY'VE DONE WITH WHAT HE'S
- 00:11:33.171 --> 00:11:34.606
- ENTRUSTED TO THEM.
- 00:11:34.606 --> 00:11:36.040
- ALL RIGHT, ALLISON MULTIPLIES HER FIVE INTO TEN.
- 00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:41.446
- DAVE MULTIPLIES HIS TWO INTO FOUR.
- 00:11:41.446 --> 00:11:43.982
- NOW WATCH THE JUDGMENT.
- 00:11:43.982 --> 00:11:45.950
- THE LANDOWNER SAYS WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.
- 00:11:45.950 --> 00:11:49.687
- SO IF THAT'S ALL WE HAVE, WE CANNOT EQUATE FAITHFUL
- 00:11:49.687 --> 00:11:52.757
- WITH MULTIPLICATION.
- 00:11:52.757 --> 00:11:54.692
- IT'S THE NEXT STATEMENT.
- 00:11:54.692 --> 00:11:56.895
- YOU WERE FAITHFUL OVER A FEW THINGS, I WILL MAKE
- 00:11:56.895 --> 00:12:01.032
- YOU RULER OVER MANY.
- 00:12:01.032 --> 00:12:02.567
- YOU WERE FAITHFUL.
- 00:12:02.567 --> 00:12:04.002
- WAIT A MINUTE, THERE IS NO OTHER VIRTUE, NO OTHER
- 00:12:04.002 --> 00:12:06.805
- ACTION SPOKEN ABOUT IN THIS PARABLE ON PURPOSE
- 00:12:06.805 --> 00:12:09.607
- I BELIEVE OTHER THAN THE FACT THEY JUST MULTIPLIED.
- 00:12:09.607 --> 00:12:12.143
- SO JESUS DIRECTLY EQUATES FAITHFUL WITH
- 00:12:12.143 --> 00:12:14.779
- MULTIPLICATION. OKAY?
- 00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:17.382
- NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT LARRY.
- 00:12:17.382 --> 00:12:19.284
- LARRY MAINTAINS HIS ONE GIFT AND LARRY GIVES HIS
- 00:12:19.284 --> 00:12:21.853
- REASONING. HE SAID I PERCEIVE YOU TO BE A HARD MAN.
- 00:12:21.853 --> 00:12:24.856
- I WAS AFRAID, SO I MAINTAINED YOUR ONE.
- 00:12:24.856 --> 00:12:28.226
- HERE IT IS, I'M GIVING IT BACK TO YOU.
- 00:12:28.226 --> 00:12:30.094
- AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAYS?
- 00:12:30.094 --> 00:12:31.663
- YOU WICKED AND LAZY SERVANT.
- 00:12:31.663 --> 00:12:34.098
- NOW JESUS DOES NOT USE WORDS CARELESSLY LIKE WE DO.
- 00:12:34.098 --> 00:12:39.337
- FIRST OF ALL, THESE THREE GUYS ARE IN THIS KINGDOM,
- 00:12:39.337 --> 00:12:41.840
- THEY HAVE THE MASTER'S GOODS.
- 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.042
- WAIT A MINUTE, WE'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND, LAZY WE
- 00:12:44.042 --> 00:12:46.878
- UNDERSTAND, YOU JUST PUT OFF DOING SOMETHING, RIGHT?
- 00:12:46.878 --> 00:12:49.614
- BECAUSE MAYBE FEAR.
- 00:12:49.614 --> 00:12:51.149
- WHAT ABOUT WICKED?
- 00:12:51.149 --> 00:12:52.383
- WICKED MEANS, THIS IN THE GREEK.
- 00:12:52.383 --> 00:12:54.018
- IT MEANS POSSESSING A SERIOUS FAULT THAT CAUSES
- 00:12:54.018 --> 00:12:56.588
- YOU TO BE HINDERED IN YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.
- 00:12:56.588 --> 00:12:58.623
- - MY GOODNESS.
- 00:12:58.623 --> 00:12:59.924
- - OKAY, WHAT'S HIS FAULT?
- 00:12:59.924 --> 00:13:01.793
- THE WAY HE'S PERCEIVED HIS MASTER, BEING AFRAID.
- 00:13:01.793 --> 00:13:04.696
- YOU WICKED AND LAZY SERVANT.
- 00:13:04.696 --> 00:13:07.265
- SO IN REGARD TO OUR LABOR, NOT IN REGARD TO
- 00:13:07.265 --> 00:13:10.468
- WHO WE ARE, WE'RE TALKING LABOR NOT IDENTITY HERE,
- 00:13:10.468 --> 00:13:16.374
- GOD VIEWS MULTIPLYING AS FAITHFUL.
- 00:13:16.374 --> 00:13:19.911
- HE VIEWS MAINTAINING AS BEING LAZY AND EVEN WICKED.
- 00:13:19.911 --> 00:13:25.550
- WE'RE NOT DONE.
- 00:13:25.550 --> 00:13:27.819
- IT SAYS TAKE THAT ONE AND GIVE IT TO ALISON.
- 00:13:27.819 --> 00:13:33.458
- SO LET'S DO THE MATH.
- 00:13:33.458 --> 00:13:35.093
- LARRY ENDS UP WITH ZERO AND ALLISON ENDS UP WITH 11.
- 00:13:35.093 --> 00:13:40.465
- ARE WE TRACKING THIS RIGHT NOW?
- 00:13:40.465 --> 00:13:42.267
- - YEP.
- 00:13:42.267 --> 00:13:43.234
- - THIS IS WHEN HE SAYS TO HIM WHO HAS--
- 00:13:43.234 --> 00:13:45.637
- OKAY, SO LET'S READ IT IN LINE WITH THIS PARABLE.
- 00:13:45.637 --> 00:13:47.739
- TO HIM WHO MULTIPLIES, MORE WILL BE GIVEN AND HE
- 00:13:47.739 --> 00:13:52.110
- OR SHE WILL HAVE AN ABUNDANCE, BUT HIM WHO
- 00:13:52.110 --> 00:13:54.712
- DOES NOT HAVE, HE WHO MAINTAINS EVEN WHAT HE
- 00:13:54.712 --> 00:13:58.049
- HAS WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM AND GIVEN TO ANOTHER.
- 00:13:58.049 --> 00:14:00.285
- OKAY.
- 00:14:00.285 --> 00:14:01.552
- THAT'S RED LETTER.
- 00:14:01.552 --> 00:14:03.588
- THAT'S JESUS TALKING.
- 00:14:03.588 --> 00:14:05.156
- WE'RE DEALING WITH GOD'S VERY FIRST COMMAND TO
- 00:14:05.156 --> 00:14:07.292
- MANKIND WHEN HE PUT HIM ON THE EARTH.
- 00:14:07.292 --> 00:14:08.793
- WHAT DID HE SAY?
- 00:14:08.793 --> 00:14:10.328
- BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY.
- 00:14:10.328 --> 00:14:11.496
- HE WASN'T JUST SAYING AND HAVE BABIES AND POPULATE
- 00:14:11.496 --> 00:14:13.598
- THE EARTH.
- 00:14:13.598 --> 00:14:14.699
- HE WAS SAYING ANYTHING I GIVE TO YOU, RETURN IT
- 00:14:14.699 --> 00:14:16.935
- BACK TO ME MULTIPLIED.
- 00:14:16.935 --> 00:14:18.269
- JESUS IS JUST AMPLIFYING IN THE PARABLE OF THE
- 00:14:18.269 --> 00:14:21.673
- TALENTS GOD'S ORIGINAL COMMAND TO MANKIND AND
- 00:14:21.673 --> 00:14:24.309
- MAKING IT EVEN MORE SPECIFIC.
- 00:14:24.309 --> 00:14:27.879
- SO IF MY TALENT IS HAIR STYLING, I SHOULD BE
- 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:32.216
- BELIEVING GOD TO MULTIPLY MY HAIR STYLING BECAUSE
- 00:14:32.216 --> 00:14:36.854
- OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO END UP GOING WOW, I WANT
- 00:14:36.854 --> 00:14:38.790
- TO DO IT THAT WAY.
- 00:14:38.790 --> 00:14:39.724
- HOW DO YOU DO IT?
- 00:14:39.724 --> 00:14:40.858
- THIS -- IF I'M A TEACHER, OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
- 00:14:40.858 --> 00:14:42.660
- BE EMULATING, WOW.
- 00:14:42.660 --> 00:14:43.928
- HOW ARE YOU GETTING YOUR STUDENTS SUCH GREAT TEST
- 00:14:43.928 --> 00:14:46.264
- SCORES ON THEIR ACT TESTS, RIGHT?
- 00:14:46.264 --> 00:14:48.967
- THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE FOR.
- 00:14:48.967 --> 00:14:52.537
- IT DOESN'T HAPPEN NATURALLY. WE BELIEVE FOR IT.
- 00:14:52.537 --> 00:14:57.041
- GOD, I'M GOING TO SHINE WITH YOUR ABILITIES
- 00:14:57.041 --> 00:15:00.378
- YOU'VE ENTRUSTED ME WITH, AND NOW WATCH US GO TO A
- 00:15:00.378 --> 00:15:03.281
- WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
- 00:15:03.281 --> 00:15:04.916
- IF YOU LOOK AT DANIEL, DANIEL WAS NOT
- 00:15:04.916 --> 00:15:06.184
- A PREACHER.
- 00:15:06.184 --> 00:15:07.618
- DANIEL WAS A GOVERNMENT LEADER.
- 00:15:07.618 --> 00:15:09.687
- NOW, DANIEL IS TAKEN OUT OF THIS LITTLE TINY
- 00:15:09.687 --> 00:15:12.690
- COUNTRY AND BROUGHT INTO THE MOST POWERFUL NATION
- 00:15:12.690 --> 00:15:14.292
- IN THE WORLD. BABYLON.
- 00:15:14.292 --> 00:15:15.693
- THE KING INTERVIEWS HIM AND HIS THREE FRIENDS,
- 00:15:15.693 --> 00:15:17.628
- AND THE KING DETERMINES HE'S TEN TIMES SMARTER,
- 00:15:17.628 --> 00:15:19.564
- WISER, MORE INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE THAN THEIR
- 00:15:19.564 --> 00:15:21.599
- VERY BEST LEADERS IN BABYLON.
- 00:15:21.599 --> 00:15:23.234
- DANIEL STARTS COMING UP WITH IDEAS, AND HE STARTS
- 00:15:23.234 --> 00:15:25.103
- GETTING PROMOTED LIKE CRAZY, RIGHT?
- 00:15:25.103 --> 00:15:28.639
- AND I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE, I MEAN, IT
- 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.276
- ACTUALLY SAYS THIS, IN DANIEL 6: 3 THAT DANIEL
- 00:15:32.276 --> 00:15:35.913
- DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF AMONG THE OTHER
- 00:15:35.913 --> 00:15:38.149
- GOVERNMENT LEADERS OF BABYLON BECAUSE HE HAD AN
- 00:15:38.149 --> 00:15:40.385
- EXCELLENT SPIRIT.
- 00:15:40.385 --> 00:15:41.652
- NOW, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE OTHER GOVERNMENT LEADERS?
- 00:15:41.652 --> 00:15:43.988
- THEY'RE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS.
- 00:15:43.988 --> 00:15:45.189
- THEY'RE GOING, WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY THE FINEST
- 00:15:45.189 --> 00:15:50.495
- SCIENTISTS, THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE TEACHERS
- 00:15:50.495 --> 00:15:53.364
- AND LEADERS IN THE WORLD.
- 00:15:53.364 --> 00:15:54.866
- THESE THREE GUYS OR 4 GUYS HAVE COME OUT OF
- 00:15:54.866 --> 00:15:57.268
- THIS LITTLE COUNTRY.
- 00:15:57.268 --> 00:15:58.369
- WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THESE IDEAS FROM? OKAY.
- 00:15:58.369 --> 00:16:00.571
- WHAT DOES THIS CAUSE THEM TO DO?
- 00:16:00.571 --> 00:16:02.840
- IT CAUSES THEM TO START SAYING WAIT A MINUTE,
- 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.709
- THERE'S SOMETHING HERE WITH THIS MAN'S GOD.
- 00:16:04.709 --> 00:16:07.578
- NOW, IF YOU LISTEN TO JESUS' WORDS, I DON'T
- 00:16:07.578 --> 00:16:10.248
- KNOW HOW WE MISSED THIS, JESUS SAID, LET YOUR
- 00:16:10.248 --> 00:16:12.350
- LIGHT SHINE THAT MEN MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS THAT
- 00:16:12.350 --> 00:16:14.852
- THEIR WROUGHT IN GOD.
- 00:16:14.852 --> 00:16:15.920
- NOT HEAR YOU GOOD SCRIPTURES.
- 00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:17.355
- SO THE QUESTIONS I HAVE IS, WHY AREN'T WE TAUGHT
- 00:16:17.355 --> 00:16:19.891
- TO DISTINGUISH OURSELVES?
- 00:16:19.891 --> 00:16:20.792
- - WOW.
- 00:16:20.792 --> 00:16:21.726
- - LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
- 00:16:21.726 --> 00:16:22.794
- IF I'M A THIRD GRADE TEACHER, I SHOULD BE
- 00:16:22.794 --> 00:16:23.795
- COMING UP WITH THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND
- 00:16:23.795 --> 00:16:25.063
- CREATIVE WAYS OF COMMUNICATING WISDOM AND
- 00:16:25.063 --> 00:16:26.597
- KNOWLEDGE THAT'S CAUSING THE REST OF THE TEACHERS
- 00:16:26.597 --> 00:16:28.232
- IN MY SCHOOL TO SCRATCH THEIR HEADS GOING, WHAT
- 00:16:28.232 --> 00:16:30.601
- IN THE --WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SHE GETTING THIS FROM?
- 00:16:30.601 --> 00:16:32.637
- IT GETS THE ATTENTION OF THE PRINCIPAL, OF
- 00:16:32.637 --> 00:16:34.539
- THE SUPERINTENDENT.
- 00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:36.240
- IF I'M A HAIR STYLIST, I'M COMING UP WITH THE
- 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.609
- MOST -WHY IS PAUL MITCHELL COMING UP WITH
- 00:16:38.609 --> 00:16:40.445
- ALL THESE STYLES?
- 00:16:40.445 --> 00:16:41.579
- WHY AREN'T I COMING -SEE, MY BIBLE SAYS WE'RE THE
- 00:16:41.579 --> 00:16:43.281
- HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL.
- 00:16:43.281 --> 00:16:44.949
- - RIGHT.
- 00:16:44.949 --> 00:16:46.017
- - WHERE I COME FROM THIS COLORADO, I HAVE SEEN
- 00:16:46.017 --> 00:16:47.218
- MOUNTAIN LIONS IN MY BACKYARD.
- 00:16:47.218 --> 00:16:48.920
- I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU, THAT TAIL IS NOT LEADING THIS LION.
- 00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:51.355
- THE HEAD IS.
- 00:16:51.355 --> 00:16:52.490
- WHY AREN'T WE THE MOST CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE PEOPLE?
- 00:16:52.490 --> 00:16:54.592
- BECAUSE WE'VE NOT BEEN TRAINED THIS IS OUR CALLING.
- 00:16:54.592 --> 00:16:57.695
- PAUL MAKES THE STATEMENT IN ROMANS 12: 6, HAVING
- 00:16:57.695 --> 00:17:00.998
- GIFTS THEN DIFFERING ACCORDING TO THE GRACE,
- 00:17:00.998 --> 00:17:02.934

- 00:17:02.934 --> 00:17:03.935
- ALL RIGHT.
- 00:17:03.935 --> 00:17:04.836
- THE GREEK WORD FOR GRACE IS CHARIS.
- 00:17:04.836 --> 00:17:07.271
- GOD HIMSELF SPEAKS, RED LETTER, IN 2 CORINTHIANS
- 00:17:07.271 --> 00:17:13.177
- 12: 9 TO THE APOSTLE PAUL AND SAYS MY GRACE IS
- 00:17:13.177 --> 00:17:15.880
- SUFFICIENT FOR YOU FOR MY POWER.
- 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:17.982
- GOD REFERS TO HIS GRACE AS HIS POWER WORK BEST IN
- 00:17:17.982 --> 00:17:21.085
- YOUR WEAKNESS, WHICH IS OUR HUMAN INABILITY.
- 00:17:21.085 --> 00:17:23.688
- - WOW.
- 00:17:23.688 --> 00:17:24.889
- - PAUL SAID, I LABORED MORE THAN ANY OTHER APOSTLE.
- 00:17:24.889 --> 00:17:27.792
- IT WASN'T ME.
- 00:17:27.792 --> 00:17:28.593
- IT WAS THE GRACE OF GOD IN ME.
- 00:17:28.593 --> 00:17:29.594
- IT WAS EMPOWERMENT.
- 00:17:29.594 --> 00:17:30.628
- PETER SAID, GRACE BE MULTIPLIED TO YOU AS HIS
- 00:17:30.628 --> 00:17:32.630
- DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR A
- 00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:36.334

- 00:17:36.334 --> 00:17:37.401
- - WOW.
- 00:17:37.401 --> 00:17:38.603
- - SO HERE'S THE PROBLEM, AND I WANT EVERY ONE OF
- 00:17:38.603 --> 00:17:42.807
- YOU TO LISTEN TO ME, THE WORK THAT GOD CREATED YOU
- 00:17:42.807 --> 00:17:46.110
- TO DO BEFORE YOU WERE BEGAN ACCORDING TO
- 00:17:46.110 --> 00:17:49.614
- EPHESIANS 2: 10, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO
- 00:17:49.614 --> 00:17:55.353
- FULFILL THAT CALLING IN YOUR OWN ABILITY.
- 00:17:55.353 --> 00:17:58.156
- HOW DO I KNOW THAT?
- 00:17:58.156 --> 00:17:59.991
- HERE'S HOW I KNOW THAT.
- 00:17:59.991 --> 00:18:02.727
- GOD MAKES THE STATEMENT, I WILL NEVER SHARE MY
- 00:18:02.727 --> 00:18:04.362
- GLORY WITH ANYONE.
- 00:18:04.362 --> 00:18:06.664
- SO GOD ON PURPOSE MAKES OUR CALLING BEYOND OUR
- 00:18:06.664 --> 00:18:09.400
- NATURAL ABILITY SO THAT HE'D GET ALL THE GLORY.
- 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:13.571
- SO GOD ON PURPOSE DID THAT SO WE'D HAVE TO
- 00:18:13.571 --> 00:18:15.840
- DEPEND ON GRACE TO FULFILL IT.
- 00:18:15.840 --> 00:18:17.775
- NOW, LET'S TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER.
- 00:18:17.775 --> 00:18:19.810

- 00:23:26.517 --> 00:23:29.186
- INFLUENCERS IN THIS REALM OF LIFE BY THE
- 00:23:29.186 --> 00:23:31.622
- SUPERNATURAL GRACE OF GOD THAT'S UPON THEIR LIVES.
- 00:23:31.622 --> 00:23:34.492
- SO LORD GOD, WE TOGETHER, MY BROTHER AND MY SISTER,
- 00:23:34.492 --> 00:23:37.628
- WE COME BEFORE THE THRONE OF GRACE AND WE ASK THE
- 00:23:37.628 --> 00:23:40.564
- SPIRIT OF GRACE WOULD COME UPON THEM NOW, THAT
- 00:23:40.564 --> 00:23:43.501
- LORD, THEIR GIFTINGS WOULD BE ACTIVATED.
- 00:23:43.501 --> 00:23:46.437
- THEY WOULD BE STIRRED UP TO WHERE THEY BEGIN TO
- 00:23:46.437 --> 00:23:50.040
- MINISTER TO PEOPLE IN THEIR WORLD OF INFLUENCE
- 00:23:50.040 --> 00:23:52.810
- IN A PROFOUND WAY THAT THIS WILL OPEN UP THE
- 00:23:52.810 --> 00:23:55.779
- DOOR FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO ASK THEM, WHO IS YOUR GOD?
- 00:23:55.779 --> 00:24:01.752
- WHERE DO YOU GET THESE IDEAS FROM?
- 00:24:01.752 --> 00:24:04.388
- I'M ASKING, FATHER, IN JESUS NAME FOR A
- 00:24:04.388 --> 00:24:07.157
- BREAKTHROUGH IN THEIR LIVES OF THIS
- 00:24:07.157 --> 00:24:09.960
- SUPERNATURAL GIFTINGS SO THAT THEY CAN LET THEIR
- 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:13.063
- LIGHT SHINE TO ALL THAT SEE HIM IN THEM.
- 00:24:13.063 --> 00:24:17.468
- AND IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED, IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN
- 00:24:17.468 --> 00:24:21.405
- AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, YOU
- 00:24:21.405 --> 00:24:24.375
- HAVE TO HAVE THAT TO LIVE IN WHAT I'VE
- 00:24:24.375 --> 00:24:27.678
- TALKED ABOUT.
- 00:24:27.678 --> 00:24:29.013

- FORMULA PRAYER.
- 00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:37.821
- THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S THE GROOM.
- 00:24:37.821 --> 00:24:39.423
- WE'RE THE BRIDE.
- 00:24:39.423 --> 00:24:40.558
- WHEN A BRIDE WALKS DOWN AN AISLE OF A CHURCH WITH
- 00:24:40.558 --> 00:24:42.092
- THE WEDDING MARCH PLAYING AND SHE'S GOT THAT WHITE
- 00:24:42.092 --> 00:24:43.494
- DRESS ON, SHE'S MAKING A PRETTY STRONG STATEMENT.
- 00:24:43.494 --> 00:24:46.530
- SHE'S SAYING GOODBYE TO ABOUT 3.9 BILLION GUYS.
- 00:24:46.530 --> 00:24:49.300
- SHE'S SAYING THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY MAN I'M
- 00:24:49.300 --> 00:24:52.236
- GIVING THE REST OF MY LIFE TO.
- 00:24:52.236 --> 00:24:53.437
- THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN HAVE AN AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIP
- 00:24:53.437 --> 00:24:55.139
- IS TO HAVE YOUR ENTIRE HEART AND LIFE TO
- 00:24:55.139 --> 00:24:57.708
- JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:24:57.708 --> 00:24:59.076

- 00:24:59.076 --> 00:25:00.411
- I WANT TO YOU DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

- 00:25:01.946 --> 00:25:04.348
- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE.
- 00:25:04.348 --> 00:25:05.649
- YES, HE WILL.
- 00:25:05.649 --> 00:25:07.117
- NOT ONLY CAN HE DO IT, HE WILL DO IT BECAUSE HE
- 00:25:07.117 --> 00:25:11.021
- DESIRES YOU, AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE WATCHING THIS
- 00:25:11.021 --> 00:25:12.823
- RIGHT NOW.
- 00:25:12.823 --> 00:25:14.158
- SO PRAY THIS WITH ME: FATHER, IN JESUS NAME I

- LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:25:20.497 --> 00:25:22.199
- HE IS NOW MY LORD AND MASTER FOREVER AND EVER.
- 00:25:22.199 --> 00:25:25.235
- THANK YOU FOR WELCOMING ME INTO YOUR FAMILY, IN
- 00:25:25.235 --> 00:25:27.838
