>> joseph prince: the bible says
00:00:12.989 --> 00:00:13.790
>> joseph prince: the bible says that potiphar,
00:00:13.857 --> 00:00:15.024
That potiphar, he saw that the lord
00:00:15.091 --> 00:00:16.192
He saw that the lord was with joseph.
00:00:16.259 --> 00:00:17.794
Was with joseph. and all that joseph did,
00:00:17.861 --> 00:00:20.663
And all that joseph did, the lord made it to prosper.
00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:23.099
The lord made it to prosper. so a heathen could see
00:00:23.166 --> 00:00:26.536
So a heathen could see that the lord was with joseph.
00:00:26.603 --> 00:00:29.305
That the lord was with joseph. it was a visible token.
00:00:29.372 --> 00:00:32.208
It was a visible token. the fact that
00:00:32.275 --> 00:00:33.476
The fact that whatever he does prospers.
00:00:33.543 --> 00:00:34.878
Whatever he does prospers. when he steps into the room,
00:00:34.944 --> 00:00:35.912
When he steps into the room, there is a peace.
00:00:35.979 --> 00:00:37.046
There is a peace. there's a glory
00:00:37.113 --> 00:00:38.047
There's a glory that can be seen on joseph.
00:00:38.114 --> 00:00:41.551
That can be seen on joseph. this is going to happen to you,
00:00:41.618 --> 00:00:42.986
This is going to happen to you, child of god

Strong confidence in your heavenly father's promise to

Here is pastor joseph prince with today's program.
00:01:08.912 --> 00:01:10.313

00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:11.181
>> joseph prince: it seems like god is very concerned
00:01:11.247 --> 00:01:12.615
God is very concerned over you prospering
00:01:12.682 --> 00:01:15.251
Over you prospering in every area of your life.
00:01:15.318 --> 00:01:17.187
In every area of your life. and i even shudder
00:01:17.253 --> 00:01:18.354
And i even shudder to use the word "prosper"
00:01:18.421 --> 00:01:20.323
To use the word "prosper" because it is so shunned,
00:01:20.390 --> 00:01:22.292
Because it is so shunned, even today,
00:01:22.358 --> 00:01:24.427
Even today, by the church world.
00:01:24.494 --> 00:01:25.828
By the church world. in some places,
00:01:25.895 --> 00:01:26.729
In some places, they advocate it strongly.
00:01:26.796 --> 00:01:27.830
They advocate it strongly. they are still preaching
00:01:27.897 --> 00:01:28.698
They are still preaching strongly on it.
00:01:28.765 --> 00:01:29.699
Strongly on it. though i feel that to
00:01:29.766 --> 00:01:30.700
Though i feel that to a certain extent,
00:01:30.767 --> 00:01:31.768
A certain extent, it has gone to an
00:01:31.834 --> 00:01:32.769
It has gone to an extreme where it's just focused
00:01:32.835 --> 00:01:35.338
Extreme where it's just focused on the material
00:01:35.405 --> 00:01:36.639
On the material and the financial.
00:01:36.706 --> 00:01:37.974
And the financial. but still, the word "prosper"
00:01:38.041 --> 00:01:41.010
But still, the word "prosper" is in the bible.
00:01:41.077 --> 00:01:42.645
Is in the bible. the hebrew word is tsaleach.
00:01:42.712 --> 00:01:45.315
The hebrew word is tsaleach. and in the english,
00:01:45.381 --> 00:01:47.717
And in the english, we say prosper.
00:01:47.784 --> 00:01:48.952
We say prosper. every time it appears, "prosper"
00:01:49.018 --> 00:01:50.320
Every time it appears, "prosper" or "prosperity" or "prosperous,"
00:01:50.386 --> 00:01:52.522
Or "prosperity" or "prosperous," in the old testament,
00:01:52.589 --> 00:01:53.957
In the old testament, it is always tsaleach.
00:01:54.023 --> 00:01:56.426
It is always tsaleach. and there is something that--
00:01:56.492 --> 00:01:57.827
And there is something that-- there is a church world out
00:01:57.894 --> 00:01:59.095
There is a church world out there that is very quick to say,
00:01:59.162 --> 00:02:00.530
There that is very quick to say, "you are preaching
00:02:00.597 --> 00:02:01.331
"you are preaching the prosperity gospel."
00:02:01.397 --> 00:02:03.032
The prosperity gospel." and i'm jealous over the gospel.
00:02:03.099 --> 00:02:05.268
And i'm jealous over the gospel. i said i'm jealous
00:02:05.335 --> 00:02:06.269
I said i'm jealous over the gospel.
00:02:06.336 --> 00:02:07.370
Over the gospel. i'm jealous that
00:02:07.437 --> 00:02:08.204
I'm jealous that the people hear the true gospel,
00:02:08.271 --> 00:02:10.039
The people hear the true gospel, the gospel of jesus christ,
00:02:10.106 --> 00:02:11.708
The gospel of jesus christ, amen?
00:02:11.774 --> 00:02:13.610
Amen? it's a prophetic message
00:02:13.676 --> 00:02:14.510
It's a prophetic message for our time.
00:02:14.577 --> 00:02:16.346
For our time. number one, it is a dark time.
00:02:16.412 --> 00:02:19.148
Number one, it is a dark time. morally, in many ways,
00:02:19.215 --> 00:02:22.518
Morally, in many ways, it's a dark time.
00:02:22.585 --> 00:02:24.721
A time of darkness
00:02:24.787 --> 00:02:26.422
A time of darkness upon the earth.
00:02:26.489 --> 00:02:27.690
Upon the earth. isaiah 60 tells us,
00:02:27.757 --> 00:02:29.392
Isaiah 60 tells us, "arise, shine;
00:02:29.459 --> 00:02:30.994
"arise, shine; for your light has come!
00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:32.362
For your light has come! and the glory of the lord
00:02:32.428 --> 00:02:33.196
And the glory of the lord is risen upon you."
00:02:33.263 --> 00:02:34.230
Is risen upon you." straight away, i just want to
00:02:34.297 --> 00:02:35.064
Straight away, i just want to say this, to those who subscribe
00:02:35.131 --> 00:02:37.800
Say this, to those who subscribe to the interpretation that this
00:02:37.867 --> 00:02:39.102
To the interpretation that this is referring to the millennium.
00:02:39.168 --> 00:02:41.137
Is referring to the millennium. there is a millennium coming
00:02:41.204 --> 00:02:42.305
There is a millennium coming where christ will rule on earth,
00:02:42.372 --> 00:02:44.707
Where christ will rule on earth, and christians don't have to
00:02:44.774 --> 00:02:45.875
And christians don't have to be hiding their faith anymore,
00:02:45.942 --> 00:02:48.478
Be hiding their faith anymore, feel ostracized.
00:02:48.544 --> 00:02:50.680
Feel ostracized. they'll be out there, amen.
00:02:50.747 --> 00:02:52.448
They'll be out there, amen. they'll be shining as the stars
00:02:52.515 --> 00:02:55.051
They'll be shining as the stars in the night, amen.
00:02:55.118 --> 00:02:56.986
In the night, amen. in a world that is still fallen,
00:02:57.053 --> 00:02:59.389
In a world that is still fallen, but christ will rule
00:02:59.455 --> 00:03:00.390
But christ will rule on this earth for 1000 years,
00:03:00.456 --> 00:03:01.891
On this earth for 1000 years, the bible tells us.
00:03:01.958 --> 00:03:02.859
The bible tells us. that's the millennium.
00:03:02.925 --> 00:03:03.593
That's the millennium. but this is not
00:03:03.660 --> 00:03:04.594
But this is not a millennium passage.
00:03:04.661 --> 00:03:06.896
A millennium passage. why?
00:03:06.963 --> 00:03:07.797
Why? because the bible says
00:03:07.864 --> 00:03:09.132
Because the bible says in the next verse,
00:03:09.198 --> 00:03:09.966
In the next verse, "behold, the darkness shall
00:03:10.033 --> 00:03:10.933
"behold, the darkness shall cover the earth."
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:11.901
Cover the earth." when christ is here,
00:03:11.968 --> 00:03:13.136
When christ is here, there will be no more darkness,
00:03:13.202 --> 00:03:16.606
There will be no more darkness, amen.
00:03:16.673 --> 00:03:18.141
Amen. he is the light
00:03:18.207 --> 00:03:19.375
He is the light and the light has come.
00:03:19.442 --> 00:03:20.710
And the light has come. "arise, shine;
00:03:20.777 --> 00:03:21.978
"arise, shine; for your light has come."
00:03:22.045 --> 00:03:23.880
For your light has come." and this deep darkness
00:03:23.946 --> 00:03:24.847
And this deep darkness will cover the people.
00:03:24.914 --> 00:03:25.915
Will cover the people. "but the lord will arise
00:03:25.982 --> 00:03:27.150
"but the lord will arise over you."
00:03:27.216 --> 00:03:28.384
Over you." when you see this happening
00:03:28.451 --> 00:03:29.352
When you see this happening in the world, child of god,
00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:31.521
In the world, child of god, the lord will arise over you.
00:03:31.587 --> 00:03:34.257
The lord will arise over you. "and his glory will be," what?
00:03:34.324 --> 00:03:36.626
"and his glory will be," what? "seen upon you."
00:03:36.693 --> 00:03:38.561
"seen upon you." so it is a glory that
00:03:38.628 --> 00:03:40.396
So it is a glory that is visible, a glory that is
00:03:40.463 --> 00:03:46.369
Is visible, a glory that is manifested in such a way
00:03:46.436 --> 00:03:47.737
Manifested in such a way that everyone can see it.
00:03:47.804 --> 00:03:48.838
That everyone can see it. the bible says
00:03:48.905 --> 00:03:49.505
The bible says that potiphar saw.
00:03:49.572 --> 00:03:52.775
That potiphar saw. potiphar was an egyptian.
00:03:52.842 --> 00:03:54.344
Potiphar was an egyptian. he saw that the lord
00:03:54.410 --> 00:03:55.478
He saw that the lord was with joseph.
00:03:55.545 --> 00:03:57.380
Was with joseph. and all that joseph did,
00:03:57.447 --> 00:04:00.350
And all that joseph did, the lord made it to prosper.
00:04:00.416 --> 00:04:02.618
The lord made it to prosper. so a heathen could see that
00:04:02.685 --> 00:04:06.489
So a heathen could see that the lord was with joseph.
00:04:06.556 --> 00:04:08.858
The lord was with joseph. it was a visible token, amen.
00:04:08.925 --> 00:04:12.962
It was a visible token, amen. how?
00:04:13.029 --> 00:04:13.863
How? we are not told.
00:04:13.930 --> 00:04:15.064
We are not told. i'm sure that part of it
00:04:15.131 --> 00:04:17.033
I'm sure that part of it are the results
00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:19.202
Are the results of joseph's work
00:04:19.268 --> 00:04:21.971
Of joseph's work in the field,
00:04:22.038 --> 00:04:23.206
In the field, bumper crops and all that.
00:04:23.272 --> 00:04:24.440
Bumper crops and all that. but even some of his men
00:04:24.507 --> 00:04:25.508
But even some of his men might have produced that.
00:04:25.575 --> 00:04:26.542
Might have produced that. it could be other things.
00:04:26.609 --> 00:04:27.343
It could be other things. the fact that whatever
00:04:27.410 --> 00:04:28.411
The fact that whatever he does prospers.
00:04:28.478 --> 00:04:29.345
He does prospers. when he steps into the room,
00:04:29.412 --> 00:04:30.213
When he steps into the room, there is a peace.
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:31.981
There is a peace. there's a glory that
00:04:32.048 --> 00:04:34.016
There's a glory that can be seen on joseph.
00:04:34.083 --> 00:04:36.686
Can be seen on joseph. and this is going to happen
00:04:36.753 --> 00:04:37.620
And this is going to happen to you, child of god,
00:04:37.687 --> 00:04:39.088
To you, child of god, in the last days.
00:04:39.155 --> 00:04:40.022
In the last days. in the days that
00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:40.723
In the days that we are living in.
00:04:40.790 --> 00:04:41.457
We are living in. "the gentiles will come
00:04:41.524 --> 00:04:42.291
"the gentiles will come to your light,
00:04:42.358 --> 00:04:43.159
To your light, and kings to the brightness
00:04:43.226 --> 00:04:43.993
And kings to the brightness of your rising."
00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:45.328
Of your rising." something will happen
00:04:45.395 --> 00:04:45.962
Something will happen to your family.
00:04:46.028 --> 00:04:46.562
To your family. "lift up your eyes all around,
00:04:46.629 --> 00:04:47.430
"lift up your eyes all around, and see:
00:04:47.497 --> 00:04:47.930
And see: they all gather together,
00:04:47.997 --> 00:04:48.831
They all gather together, they come to you;
00:04:48.898 --> 00:04:49.632
They come to you; your sons will
00:04:49.699 --> 00:04:50.299
Your sons will come from afar."
00:04:50.366 --> 00:04:51.200
Come from afar." the one that's gone astray
00:04:51.267 --> 00:04:52.335
The one that's gone astray will come from afar.
00:04:52.402 --> 00:04:53.803
Will come from afar. "and your daughters
00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:54.704
"and your daughters shall be nursed at your side."
00:04:54.771 --> 00:04:56.139
Shall be nursed at your side." your daughters, the one
00:04:56.205 --> 00:04:57.106
Your daughters, the one that's gone astray,
00:04:57.173 --> 00:04:58.207
That's gone astray, will love to be
00:04:58.274 --> 00:04:59.342
Will love to be by your side, amen?
00:04:59.409 --> 00:05:01.544
By your side, amen? so there's family reconciliation
00:05:01.611 --> 00:05:03.546
So there's family reconciliation in these last days.
00:05:03.613 --> 00:05:04.380
In these last days. "then you shall see
00:05:04.447 --> 00:05:05.281
"then you shall see and become radiant," hallelujah.
00:05:05.348 --> 00:05:07.650
And become radiant," hallelujah. even shine even more.
00:05:07.717 --> 00:05:08.785
Even shine even more. "and your heart shall swell
00:05:08.851 --> 00:05:10.052
"and your heart shall swell with joy;
00:05:10.119 --> 00:05:11.120
With joy; because the abundance of
00:05:11.187 --> 00:05:12.255
Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
00:05:12.321 --> 00:05:13.489
The sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the gentiles
00:05:13.556 --> 00:05:16.859
The wealth of the gentiles shall come to you."
00:05:16.926 --> 00:05:19.028
Shall come to you." truly speaking, the goyim,
00:05:19.095 --> 00:05:20.263
Truly speaking, the goyim, the gentiles here,
00:05:20.329 --> 00:05:21.864
The gentiles here, refers to the non-jews.
00:05:21.931 --> 00:05:23.499
Refers to the non-jews. but for the child of god,
00:05:23.566 --> 00:05:24.901
But for the child of god, it refers to the unbelievers.
00:05:24.967 --> 00:05:27.270
It refers to the unbelievers. their wealth will come to you,
00:05:27.336 --> 00:05:30.006
Their wealth will come to you, when darkness covers the earth.
00:05:30.072 --> 00:05:31.207
When darkness covers the earth. when?
00:05:31.274 --> 00:05:31.808
When? when darkness covers the earth.
00:05:31.874 --> 00:05:33.609
When darkness covers the earth. so is there such a time
00:05:33.676 --> 00:05:35.044
So is there such a time in the old testament?
00:05:35.111 --> 00:05:36.078
In the old testament? because the bible tells us
00:05:36.145 --> 00:05:37.814
Because the bible tells us whatever we read
00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:38.748
Whatever we read in the old testament,
00:05:38.815 --> 00:05:39.916
In the old testament, it's not history passed.
00:05:39.982 --> 00:05:42.185
It's not history passed. it's actually history passed
00:05:42.251 --> 00:05:45.721
It's actually history passed that will be reproduced because
00:05:45.788 --> 00:05:49.659
That will be reproduced because that, at least it says it like
00:05:49.725 --> 00:05:51.260
That, at least it says it like this, that which was
00:05:51.327 --> 00:05:53.029
This, that which was is that which will be.
00:05:53.095 --> 00:05:55.832
Is that which will be. all history repeats itself,
00:05:55.898 --> 00:05:58.034
All history repeats itself, amen?
00:05:58.100 --> 00:05:58.835
Amen? so even the people of god--
00:05:58.901 --> 00:05:59.836
So even the people of god-- god is saying, study the life
00:05:59.902 --> 00:06:01.337
God is saying, study the life of joseph because it will be
00:06:01.404 --> 00:06:02.972
Of joseph because it will be reproduced in your life.
00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:04.607
Reproduced in your life. "all these things happened
00:06:04.674 --> 00:06:05.708
"all these things happened to them as," what?
00:06:05.775 --> 00:06:06.876
To them as," what? "examples."
00:06:06.943 --> 00:06:08.277
"examples." tupos, in the greek, types.
00:06:08.344 --> 00:06:11.013
Tupos, in the greek, types. all of them happened.
00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:12.248
All of them happened. we might not apply exactly what
00:06:12.315 --> 00:06:14.116
We might not apply exactly what they do but the principle of
00:06:14.183 --> 00:06:15.418
They do but the principle of what they are doing
00:06:15.485 --> 00:06:16.953
What they are doing corresponds to us.
00:06:17.019 --> 00:06:19.021
Corresponds to us. and everything has a meaning,
00:06:19.088 --> 00:06:19.956
And everything has a meaning, amen.
00:06:20.022 --> 00:06:20.756
Amen. so whatever happened to them,
00:06:20.823 --> 00:06:21.824
So whatever happened to them, happened to them
00:06:21.891 --> 00:06:23.226
Happened to them as examples to who?
00:06:23.292 --> 00:06:25.261
As examples to who? "and they were written for our
00:06:25.328 --> 00:06:26.829
"and they were written for our admonition, upon whom,"
00:06:26.896 --> 00:06:29.065
Admonition, upon whom," watch this,
00:06:29.131 --> 00:06:29.999
Watch this, "the ends of the ages
00:06:30.066 --> 00:06:31.601
"the ends of the ages have come."
00:06:31.667 --> 00:06:32.902
Have come." they are written for us,
00:06:32.969 --> 00:06:34.670
They are written for us, upon whom the end
00:06:34.737 --> 00:06:35.938
Upon whom the end of the ages have come.
00:06:36.005 --> 00:06:37.240
Of the ages have come. we are the people who are living
00:06:37.306 --> 00:06:39.108
We are the people who are living in the end of the ages.
00:06:39.175 --> 00:06:41.143
In the end of the ages. so everything
00:06:41.210 --> 00:06:41.911
So everything that happened in
00:06:41.978 --> 00:06:42.545
That happened in the old testament happened
00:06:42.612 --> 00:06:44.113
The old testament happened for us, as examples for us.
00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:47.517
For us, as examples for us. what to learn, what to adopt,
00:06:47.583 --> 00:06:50.319
What to learn, what to adopt, amen, what to avoid,
00:06:50.386 --> 00:06:52.655
Amen, what to avoid, what to imbibe,
00:06:52.722 --> 00:06:53.456
What to imbibe, what to receive, amen.
00:06:53.523 --> 00:06:56.826
What to receive, amen. romans 15 also says
00:06:56.893 --> 00:06:58.294
Romans 15 also says the same thing:
00:06:58.361 --> 00:06:58.828
The same thing: "whatever things were
00:06:58.895 --> 00:06:59.662
"whatever things were written before were written
00:06:59.729 --> 00:07:01.464
Written before were written for our learning,
00:07:01.531 --> 00:07:02.498
For our learning, that we through
00:07:02.565 --> 00:07:03.332
That we through patience and comfort
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.800
Patience and comfort of the scriptures
00:07:04.867 --> 00:07:05.735
Of the scriptures might have hope,"
00:07:05.801 --> 00:07:07.169
Might have hope," elpis in the greek.
00:07:07.236 --> 00:07:09.171
Elpis in the greek. hope means
00:07:09.238 --> 00:07:10.573
Hope means that through the scriptures,
00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:11.607
That through the scriptures, we study the stories
00:07:11.674 --> 00:07:13.609
We study the stories of the patriarchs,
00:07:13.676 --> 00:07:14.610
Of the patriarchs, we study the story of david,
00:07:14.677 --> 00:07:15.978
We study the story of david, the stories of ruth,
00:07:16.045 --> 00:07:17.813
The stories of ruth, esther, and
00:07:17.880 --> 00:07:18.581
Esther, and all the old testament stories.
00:07:18.648 --> 00:07:19.882
All the old testament stories. and then from the stories from
00:07:19.949 --> 00:07:21.617
And then from the stories from the scriptures which were
00:07:21.684 --> 00:07:23.085
The scriptures which were written for our learning,
00:07:23.152 --> 00:07:25.154
Written for our learning, we will have hope.
00:07:25.221 --> 00:07:27.757
We will have hope. hope is a confident expectation
00:07:27.823 --> 00:07:29.759
Hope is a confident expectation of good.
00:07:29.825 --> 00:07:30.560
Of good. so even if you receive
00:07:30.626 --> 00:07:31.394
So even if you receive a bad report from the doctor,
00:07:31.460 --> 00:07:34.263
A bad report from the doctor, when you study the scriptures,
00:07:34.330 --> 00:07:35.898
When you study the scriptures, you have hope
00:07:35.965 --> 00:07:37.266
You have hope for your future, amen.
00:07:37.333 --> 00:07:39.635
For your future, amen. all darkness or depression on
00:07:39.702 --> 00:07:42.805
All darkness or depression on the mind is based on that you
00:07:42.872 --> 00:07:44.774
The mind is based on that you look into the future and you see
00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:46.375
Look into the future and you see nothing but darkness.
00:07:46.442 --> 00:07:48.978
Nothing but darkness. hope is seeing brightness
00:07:49.045 --> 00:07:50.947
Hope is seeing brightness where darkness was, amen.
00:07:51.013 --> 00:07:54.617
Where darkness was, amen. god is a god of hope,
00:07:54.684 --> 00:07:55.651
God is a god of hope, the bible says.
00:07:55.718 --> 00:07:57.019
The bible says. okay, today, another truth that
00:07:57.086 --> 00:07:59.355
Okay, today, another truth that we can learn for our families,
00:07:59.422 --> 00:08:00.756
We can learn for our families, for us and our families.
00:08:00.823 --> 00:08:01.891
For us and our families. i'm in exodus 11.
00:08:01.958 --> 00:08:03.526
I'm in exodus 11. "the lord says, 'i bring one

"the lord says, 'i bring one more plague on pharaoh,'"

More plague on pharaoh,'" this is the last plague,

This is the last plague, "'and on egypt.

"'and on egypt. afterwards he'll let you go

From here. when he lets you go,

When he lets you go, he will surely drive you

He will surely drive you out of here altogether.

Favor will come on god's people. don't be afraid of the darkness.

Don't be afraid of the darkness. don't be afraid of being

Don't be afraid of being swallowed up by the darkness,
00:08:47.336 --> 00:08:48.337
Swallowed up by the darkness, or your loved ones
00:08:48.404 --> 00:08:49.138
Or your loved ones being swallowed up.

Being swallowed up. know this,

Know this, god put a difference
00:08:50.973 --> 00:08:51.907
God put a difference between the children of egypt
00:08:51.974 --> 00:08:53.075
Between the children of egypt and the children of israel,
00:08:53.142 --> 00:08:54.744
And the children of israel, amen?

Amen? are you with me so far?

Next chapter says they plundered the egyptians, and the gold
00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:01.150
The egyptians, and the gold and silver, they came out.
00:09:01.217 --> 00:09:02.118
And silver, they came out. you know, they came out
00:09:02.184 --> 00:09:03.019
You know, they came out with plenty of gold and silver.
00:09:03.085 --> 00:09:04.020
With plenty of gold and silver. psalms 105 please.
00:09:04.086 --> 00:09:05.321
Psalms 105 please. the bible says this,
00:09:05.388 --> 00:09:06.355
The bible says this, how god brought them out.
00:09:06.422 --> 00:09:07.289
How god brought them out. "god brought them out with
00:09:07.356 --> 00:09:08.357
"god brought them out with silver and gold, and there was
00:09:08.424 --> 00:09:10.526
Silver and gold, and there was none feeble among his tribes."
00:09:10.593 --> 00:09:13.529
None feeble among his tribes." and there were 12 tribes.
00:09:13.596 --> 00:09:14.930
And there were 12 tribes. now, what has happened to us?
00:09:14.997 --> 00:09:17.500
Now, what has happened to us? if that can happen to them with
00:09:17.566 --> 00:09:19.502
If that can happen to them with a natural lamb, which is a
00:09:19.568 --> 00:09:20.936
A natural lamb, which is a picture of the real lamb,
00:09:21.003 --> 00:09:22.371
Picture of the real lamb, a shadow of the substance
00:09:22.438 --> 00:09:24.040
A shadow of the substance of our lord jesus christ
00:09:24.106 --> 00:09:25.441
Of our lord jesus christ who is the true lamb of god
00:09:25.508 --> 00:09:26.709
Who is the true lamb of god who takes away our sin,
00:09:26.776 --> 00:09:28.344
Who takes away our sin, what has happened
00:09:28.411 --> 00:09:28.911
What has happened to us?
00:09:28.978 --> 00:09:30.212
To us? number one, we don't partake.
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.947
Number one, we don't partake. they partook the lamb.
00:09:32.014 --> 00:09:33.082
They partook the lamb. when the blood was outside,
00:09:33.149 --> 00:09:34.250
When the blood was outside, what were they doing inside?
00:09:34.316 --> 00:09:35.885
What were they doing inside? they ate the lamb,
00:09:35.951 --> 00:09:37.453
They ate the lamb, the roasted lamb.
00:09:37.520 --> 00:09:38.721
The roasted lamb. so that's discerning
00:09:38.788 --> 00:09:40.156
So that's discerning the body of the lord,
00:09:40.222 --> 00:09:41.457
The body of the lord, amen, in communion.
00:09:41.524 --> 00:09:43.926
Amen, in communion. if a shadow can do that for them
00:09:43.993 --> 00:09:46.529
If a shadow can do that for them in psalms 105
00:09:46.595 --> 00:09:47.897
In psalms 105 when they came out,
00:09:47.963 --> 00:09:49.298
When they came out, we have the substance.
00:09:49.365 --> 00:09:53.302
We have the substance. for the lack of preaching,
00:09:53.369 --> 00:09:54.770
For the lack of preaching, faith comes by hearing
00:09:54.837 --> 00:09:55.805
Faith comes by hearing and hearing
00:09:55.871 --> 00:09:56.338
And hearing by the word of god.
00:09:56.405 --> 00:09:57.339
By the word of god. we have negated it.
00:09:57.406 --> 00:09:59.341
We have negated it. some of us wish
00:09:59.408 --> 00:10:00.042
Some of us wish that we were back there
00:10:00.109 --> 00:10:01.110
That we were back there with the children of israel.
00:10:01.177 --> 00:10:02.211
With the children of israel. no, no, you don't want
00:10:02.278 --> 00:10:02.878
No, no, you don't want to be there.
00:10:02.945 --> 00:10:03.646
To be there. if they see our future,
00:10:03.713 --> 00:10:04.547
If they see our future, they will wish
00:10:04.613 --> 00:10:05.548
They will wish they had been here
00:10:05.614 --> 00:10:06.682
They had been here after christ has died
00:10:06.749 --> 00:10:07.616
After christ has died and risen again, amen?
00:10:07.683 --> 00:10:10.519
And risen again, amen? the messiah has come.
00:10:10.586 --> 00:10:11.454
The messiah has come. they will want to be
00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:12.388
They will want to be where you are.
00:10:12.455 --> 00:10:13.889
Where you are. so during that night,
00:10:13.956 --> 00:10:14.857
So during that night, we are learning--
00:10:14.924 --> 00:10:15.825
We are learning-- we are comparing with
00:10:15.891 --> 00:10:16.859
We are comparing with that time as well as our time.
00:10:16.926 --> 00:10:18.728
That time as well as our time. it's just like our time.
00:10:18.794 --> 00:10:19.628
It's just like our time. the last plague was darkness and
00:10:19.695 --> 00:10:22.298
The last plague was darkness and the death of the firstborn
00:10:22.364 --> 00:10:23.199
The death of the firstborn was the last one, right?
00:10:23.265 --> 00:10:25.401
Was the last one, right? and yet they came out
00:10:25.468 --> 00:10:26.669
And yet they came out with gold and silver.
00:10:26.736 --> 00:10:28.471
With gold and silver. don't shun that!
00:10:28.537 --> 00:10:30.072
Don't shun that! don't throw it away!
00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:31.874
Don't throw it away! not only were they healthy,
00:10:31.941 --> 00:10:33.843
Not only were they healthy, all right, they were wealthy.
00:10:33.909 --> 00:10:37.079
All right, they were wealthy. can you understand
00:10:37.146 --> 00:10:37.713
Can you understand why i don't want to preach?
00:10:37.780 --> 00:10:42.318
Why i don't want to preach? because i know the labels go on:
00:10:42.384 --> 00:10:43.519
Because i know the labels go on: prosperity gospel and all that.
00:10:43.586 --> 00:10:45.521
Prosperity gospel and all that. but you know what?
00:10:45.588 --> 00:10:46.255
But you know what? i'm more concerned about you
00:10:46.322 --> 00:10:47.556
I'm more concerned about you receiving god's word.
00:10:47.623 --> 00:10:49.425
Receiving god's word. and god wants that, amen?
00:10:49.492 --> 00:10:52.595
And god wants that, amen? ecclesiastes 2: "god gives
00:10:52.661 --> 00:10:56.198
Ecclesiastes 2: "god gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to
00:10:56.265 --> 00:10:59.001
Wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in his sight."
00:10:59.068 --> 00:11:02.338
A man who is good in his sight." look at pastor lawrence.
00:11:02.404 --> 00:11:04.673
Look at pastor lawrence. that is a man good in his sight.
00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:08.244
That is a man good in his sight. now all of you are thinking,
00:11:08.310 --> 00:11:09.545
Now all of you are thinking, "wah, because he's so kind,
00:11:09.612 --> 00:11:10.446
"wah, because he's so kind, is it, pastor prince?
00:11:10.513 --> 00:11:11.213
Is it, pastor prince? he's so nice?"
00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:12.381
He's so nice?" he is nice, he is kind,
00:11:12.448 --> 00:11:13.516
He is nice, he is kind, but actually, all of us are good
00:11:13.582 --> 00:11:14.650
But actually, all of us are good in his sight.
00:11:14.717 --> 00:11:15.985
In his sight. what makes us good?
00:11:16.051 --> 00:11:16.886
What makes us good? the blood of jesus.
00:11:16.952 --> 00:11:18.654
The blood of jesus. being justified by his blood,
00:11:18.721 --> 00:11:21.757
Being justified by his blood, in god's eyes now.
00:11:21.824 --> 00:11:22.958
In god's eyes now. so god gives to a man good
00:11:23.025 --> 00:11:24.627
So god gives to a man good in his sight, wisdom,
00:11:24.693 --> 00:11:25.561
In his sight, wisdom, knowledge and joy.
00:11:25.628 --> 00:11:26.295
Knowledge and joy. but to the sinner,
00:11:26.362 --> 00:11:27.096
But to the sinner, god has a ministry.
00:11:27.163 --> 00:11:30.232
God has a ministry. god has an assignment
00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:31.033
God has an assignment for the sinner.
00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:32.234
For the sinner. and this is the assignment
00:11:32.301 --> 00:11:33.068
And this is the assignment that god has for the sinner.
00:11:33.135 --> 00:11:34.303
That god has for the sinner. "to the sinner he gives the work
00:11:34.370 --> 00:11:37.406
"to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and collecting,
00:11:37.473 --> 00:11:39.475
Of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him
00:11:39.542 --> 00:11:40.976
That he may give to him who is good before god."
00:11:41.043 --> 00:11:43.345
Who is good before god." now this is vexation
00:11:43.412 --> 00:11:44.246
Now this is vexation for the sinner, of course.
00:11:44.313 --> 00:11:45.347
For the sinner, of course. this is vanity and grasping
00:11:45.414 --> 00:11:46.382
This is vanity and grasping for the wind.
00:11:46.448 --> 00:11:47.249
For the wind. they work, they work,
00:11:47.316 --> 00:11:48.217
They work, they work, they work, they work.
00:11:48.284 --> 00:11:48.851
They work, they work. and god says, "okay,
00:11:48.918 --> 00:11:50.119
And god says, "okay, now the time is going to happen.
00:11:50.186 --> 00:11:51.086
Now the time is going to happen. you've got to transfer it."
00:11:51.153 --> 00:11:53.088
You've got to transfer it." god is the lord of the heavens
00:11:53.155 --> 00:11:55.357
God is the lord of the heavens and the earth.
00:11:55.424 --> 00:11:56.826
And the earth. ultimately, all gold
00:11:56.892 --> 00:11:57.693
Ultimately, all gold is from him.
00:11:57.760 --> 00:11:59.161
Is from him. and all gold
00:11:59.228 --> 00:11:59.995
And all gold will go back to him.
00:12:00.062 --> 00:12:02.531
Will go back to him. but i want to tell you this.
00:12:02.598 --> 00:12:04.633
But i want to tell you this. there's a way to sanctify
00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:05.701
There's a way to sanctify the unrighteous mammon.
00:12:05.768 --> 00:12:07.203
The unrighteous mammon. you know how?
00:12:07.269 --> 00:12:08.437
You know how? in the romans,
00:12:08.504 --> 00:12:09.238
In the romans, "if the firstfruit is holy,
00:12:09.305 --> 00:12:11.006
"if the firstfruit is holy, the lump,"
00:12:11.073 --> 00:12:11.874
The lump," the rest, "is also holy;
00:12:11.941 --> 00:12:13.242
The rest, "is also holy; if the root of a tree is holy,
00:12:13.309 --> 00:12:14.977
If the root of a tree is holy, so are the branches."
00:12:15.044 --> 00:12:16.178
So are the branches." you know what god
00:12:16.245 --> 00:12:16.879
You know what god is saying by this?
00:12:16.946 --> 00:12:18.948
Is saying by this? anything that you want to make
00:12:19.014 --> 00:12:20.816
Anything that you want to make holy--you know what's holy?
00:12:20.883 --> 00:12:22.051
Holy--you know what's holy? holy is separated unto god.
00:12:22.117 --> 00:12:24.486
Holy is separated unto god. like in your house,
00:12:24.553 --> 00:12:26.222
Like in your house, the toilet bowl is not holy.
00:12:26.288 --> 00:12:28.824
The toilet bowl is not holy. it is common use, right?
00:12:28.891 --> 00:12:32.962
It is common use, right? but your wife may like precious,
00:12:33.028 --> 00:12:37.199
But your wife may like precious, you know, like ornaments
00:12:37.266 --> 00:12:38.601
You know, like ornaments or things like that or jewelry
00:12:38.667 --> 00:12:40.269
Or things like that or jewelry and all that.
00:12:40.336 --> 00:12:41.070
And all that. where did she keep it?
00:12:41.136 --> 00:12:42.371
Where did she keep it? she don't keep it next on top
00:12:42.438 --> 00:12:43.739
She don't keep it next on top of the toilet bowl beside
00:12:43.806 --> 00:12:44.707
Of the toilet bowl beside the toilet paper.
00:12:44.773 --> 00:12:45.708
The toilet paper. where does she put it?
00:12:45.774 --> 00:12:46.609
Where does she put it? special safe, under lock
00:12:46.675 --> 00:12:49.144
Special safe, under lock and key.
00:12:49.211 --> 00:12:49.812
And key. am i right?
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:50.880
Am i right? or she put it in a drawer,
00:12:50.946 --> 00:12:51.847
Or she put it in a drawer, or somewhere safe.
00:12:51.914 --> 00:12:52.581
Or somewhere safe. am i right?
00:12:52.648 --> 00:12:53.749
Am i right? those things that are precious,
00:12:53.816 --> 00:12:55.351
Those things that are precious, she set apart.
00:12:55.417 --> 00:12:56.452
She set apart. the word "holy" means set apart.
00:12:56.518 --> 00:12:58.621
The word "holy" means set apart. when someone says you stand out,
00:12:58.687 --> 00:13:00.089
When someone says you stand out, back then they will say,
00:13:00.155 --> 00:13:01.156
Back then they will say, "you are holy."
00:13:01.223 --> 00:13:02.358
"you are holy." so god wants his people
00:13:02.424 --> 00:13:03.158
So god wants his people to stand out.
00:13:03.225 --> 00:13:04.827
To stand out. predominantly not holier
00:13:04.894 --> 00:13:06.495
Predominantly not holier than thou or "i'm more righteous
00:13:06.562 --> 00:13:08.197
Than thou or "i'm more righteous than you" attitude.
00:13:08.264 --> 00:13:09.498
Than you" attitude. that stinks to high heavens.
00:13:09.565 --> 00:13:11.233
That stinks to high heavens. god hates phariseeism, amen.
00:13:11.300 --> 00:13:14.937
God hates phariseeism, amen. even the pharisees
00:13:15.004 --> 00:13:15.738
Even the pharisees having the attitude
00:13:15.804 --> 00:13:16.605
Having the attitude of holier than thou.
00:13:16.672 --> 00:13:17.273
Of holier than thou. jesus moved with the common
00:13:17.339 --> 00:13:18.173
Jesus moved with the common people yet he was distinct.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.642
People yet he was distinct. it is something called royalty
00:13:19.708 --> 00:13:22.044
It is something called royalty among common people.
00:13:22.111 --> 00:13:23.512
Among common people. and yet you know that he's not
00:13:23.579 --> 00:13:26.482
And yet you know that he's not someone that is servile.
00:13:26.548 --> 00:13:28.517
Someone that is servile. he's someone regal
00:13:28.584 --> 00:13:29.818
He's someone regal when you're in his presence.
00:13:29.885 --> 00:13:31.120
When you're in his presence. that's what god wants
00:13:31.186 --> 00:13:32.054
That's what god wants from his people.
00:13:32.121 --> 00:13:34.390
From his people. the smell of heaven and the mean
00:13:34.456 --> 00:13:35.557
The smell of heaven and the mean of royalty is on you.
00:13:35.624 --> 00:13:38.827
Of royalty is on you. even though you're humble,
00:13:38.894 --> 00:13:40.596
Even though you're humble, you're not servile.
00:13:40.663 --> 00:13:41.797
You're not servile. you're humble yet there's
00:13:41.864 --> 00:13:43.132
You're humble yet there's a regal, a princess quality
00:13:43.198 --> 00:13:45.601
A regal, a princess quality about you.
00:13:45.668 --> 00:13:46.769
About you. that's what god wants
00:13:46.835 --> 00:13:47.569
That's what god wants from his people.
00:13:47.636 --> 00:13:48.437
From his people. you are royal priesthood.
00:13:48.504 --> 00:13:50.105
You are royal priesthood. that's the kind of holiness,
00:13:50.172 --> 00:13:51.307
That's the kind of holiness, you stand out.
00:13:51.373 --> 00:13:52.308
You stand out. now watch this.
00:13:52.374 --> 00:13:53.242
Now watch this. how do you sanctify
00:13:53.309 --> 00:13:54.343
How do you sanctify the unrighteous mammon?
00:13:54.410 --> 00:13:55.611
The unrighteous mammon? well, whatever is holy,
00:13:55.678 --> 00:13:57.446
Well, whatever is holy, the firstfruit,
00:13:57.513 --> 00:13:58.380
The firstfruit, whatever firstfruit of anything,
00:13:58.447 --> 00:14:01.650
Whatever firstfruit of anything, your time, you know,
00:14:01.717 --> 00:14:03.485
Your time, you know, your energy, whatever it is,
00:14:03.552 --> 00:14:05.654
Your energy, whatever it is, that you give 10%, money,
00:14:05.721 --> 00:14:07.623
That you give 10%, money, if your firstfruit is holy,
00:14:07.690 --> 00:14:09.024
If your firstfruit is holy, guess what happens
00:14:09.091 --> 00:14:09.692
Guess what happens to the 90%?
00:14:09.758 --> 00:14:11.460
To the 90%? it becomes holy.
00:14:11.527 --> 00:14:13.028
It becomes holy. so actually, god doesn't ask
00:14:13.095 --> 00:14:14.363
So actually, god doesn't ask for 90%.
00:14:14.430 --> 00:14:16.398
For 90%. he's the senior partner.
00:14:16.465 --> 00:14:18.567
He's the senior partner. he doesn't ask for 90%.
00:14:18.634 --> 00:14:19.969
He doesn't ask for 90%. i told my daughter that
00:14:20.035 --> 00:14:22.071
I told my daughter that if i'm god, i'll ask for 90%.
00:14:22.137 --> 00:14:25.574
If i'm god, i'll ask for 90%. because 90% means it's more,
00:14:25.641 --> 00:14:27.276
Because 90% means it's more, i'm god.
00:14:27.343 --> 00:14:28.777
I'm god. and you live off 10.
00:14:28.844 --> 00:14:30.546
And you live off 10. that should be right.
00:14:30.612 --> 00:14:31.714
That should be right. and yet people complain about
00:14:31.780 --> 00:14:32.648
And yet people complain about the 10 they give to god.
00:14:32.715 --> 00:14:34.950
The 10 they give to god. listen, if you don't want to
00:14:35.017 --> 00:14:36.318
Listen, if you don't want to give, don't, okay?
00:14:36.385 --> 00:14:39.655
Give, don't, okay? this is for those with
00:14:39.722 --> 00:14:40.422
This is for those with revelation, okay?
00:14:40.489 --> 00:14:42.591
Revelation, okay? the senior partner
00:14:42.658 --> 00:14:43.459
The senior partner only asks for 10.
00:14:43.525 --> 00:14:44.426
Only asks for 10. why?
00:14:44.493 --> 00:14:45.194
Why? because if the 10 is holy, the
00:14:45.260 --> 00:14:47.062
Because if the 10 is holy, the rest of your money is holy.
00:14:47.129 --> 00:14:49.164
Rest of your money is holy. and whatever is holy,
00:14:49.231 --> 00:14:50.132
And whatever is holy, the devil cannot touch.
00:14:50.199 --> 00:14:51.266
The devil cannot touch. always remember that.
00:14:51.333 --> 00:14:52.267
Always remember that. always remember that.
00:14:52.334 --> 00:14:57.906
Always remember that. now, back to what jesus said:
00:14:57.973 --> 00:15:02.544
Now, back to what jesus said: "if you're not faithful
00:15:02.611 --> 00:15:03.379
"if you're not faithful in the use
00:15:03.445 --> 00:15:04.079
In the use of unrighteous mammon,"
00:15:04.146 --> 00:15:05.247
Of unrighteous mammon," verse 11, "who will commit
00:15:05.314 --> 00:15:06.482
Verse 11, "who will commit to your trust the true riches?"
00:15:06.548 --> 00:15:08.484
To your trust the true riches?" wow!
00:15:08.550 --> 00:15:09.818
Wow! you know, try not to think
00:15:09.885 --> 00:15:11.520
You know, try not to think of god's way,
00:15:11.587 --> 00:15:12.554
Of god's way, the way the world thinks.
00:15:12.621 --> 00:15:13.789
The way the world thinks. "god help those
00:15:13.856 --> 00:15:14.623
"god help those who help themselves."
00:15:14.690 --> 00:15:15.524
Who help themselves." where?
00:15:15.591 --> 00:15:16.225
Where? where do you find
00:15:16.291 --> 00:15:16.959
Where do you find that in the bible?
00:15:17.026 --> 00:15:18.160
That in the bible? no, the bible didn't say that.
00:15:18.227 --> 00:15:19.661
No, the bible didn't say that. benjamin franklin did.
00:15:19.728 --> 00:15:23.565
Benjamin franklin did. no, god helps those
00:15:23.632 --> 00:15:24.566
No, god helps those who are helpless.
00:15:24.633 --> 00:15:25.534
Who are helpless. we are too strong in ourselves.
00:15:25.601 --> 00:15:27.369
We are too strong in ourselves. if we realize that,
00:15:27.436 --> 00:15:28.237
If we realize that, we will pray more.
00:15:28.303 --> 00:15:29.538
We will pray more. we will depend
00:15:29.605 --> 00:15:30.105
We will depend on him more, amen?
00:15:30.172 --> 00:15:34.376
On him more, amen? another thing is that,
00:15:34.443 --> 00:15:35.544
Another thing is that, "well, if god can trust you,
00:15:35.611 --> 00:15:36.879
"well, if god can trust you, you are faithful in church,
00:15:36.945 --> 00:15:38.147
You are faithful in church, you are faithful
00:15:38.213 --> 00:15:38.814
You are faithful in your service,
00:15:38.881 --> 00:15:39.748
In your service, god will trust you
00:15:39.815 --> 00:15:40.449
God will trust you with money.
00:15:40.516 --> 00:15:41.183
With money. god will allow money
00:15:41.250 --> 00:15:41.950
God will allow money to come to you."
00:15:42.017 --> 00:15:42.718
To come to you." that's not what the bible says.
00:15:42.785 --> 00:15:44.653
That's not what the bible says. you got the opposite.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:45.354
You got the opposite. "no, this is what
00:15:45.421 --> 00:15:46.121
"no, this is what the bible says."
00:15:46.188 --> 00:15:47.289
The bible says." no, it doesn't say that.
00:15:47.356 --> 00:15:49.124
No, it doesn't say that. another thing that people say:
00:15:49.191 --> 00:15:50.225
Another thing that people say: "you know, if your heart
00:15:50.292 --> 00:15:51.927
"you know, if your heart is into something,
00:15:51.994 --> 00:15:53.562
Is into something, your money will follow.
00:15:53.629 --> 00:15:55.064
Your money will follow. if your heart is into sports,
00:15:55.130 --> 00:15:56.398
If your heart is into sports, you invest in things, you know,
00:15:56.465 --> 00:15:58.267
You invest in things, you know, you'll travel to watch
00:15:58.333 --> 00:15:59.268
You'll travel to watch the world cup or whatever.
00:15:59.334 --> 00:16:00.536
The world cup or whatever. your heart is there."
00:16:00.602 --> 00:16:01.737
Your heart is there." that is natural truth, yeah,
00:16:01.804 --> 00:16:03.472
That is natural truth, yeah, but that's not what jesus said
00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:04.440
But that's not what jesus said in the sermon on the mount.
00:16:04.506 --> 00:16:05.340
In the sermon on the mount. jesus says, "where your money
00:16:05.407 --> 00:16:06.942
Jesus says, "where your money is, where your treasure is,
00:16:07.009 --> 00:16:08.377
Is, where your treasure is, your heart will follow."
00:16:08.444 --> 00:16:09.878
Your heart will follow." so even if i don't feel like it,
00:16:09.945 --> 00:16:11.280
So even if i don't feel like it, i put my money there,
00:16:11.346 --> 00:16:12.381
I put my money there, my heart will follow.
00:16:12.448 --> 00:16:13.682
My heart will follow. if i put my money into
00:16:13.749 --> 00:16:15.617
If i put my money into the things of god, amen,
00:16:15.684 --> 00:16:17.086
The things of god, amen, my heart will follow.
00:16:17.152 --> 00:16:19.221
My heart will follow. if i give to you,
00:16:19.288 --> 00:16:20.289
If i give to you, my heart will go after you.
00:16:20.355 --> 00:16:24.093
My heart will go after you. think of it.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:24.660
Think of it. meditate, meditate.
00:16:24.726 --> 00:16:25.761
Meditate, meditate. it's the opposite
00:16:25.828 --> 00:16:26.762
It's the opposite of contemporary,
00:16:26.829 --> 00:16:30.799
Of contemporary, natural wisdom of man.
00:16:30.866 --> 00:16:33.235
Natural wisdom of man. again, jesus actually said
00:16:33.302 --> 00:16:35.871
Again, jesus actually said if you have not been faithful in
00:16:35.938 --> 00:16:37.139
If you have not been faithful in the use of money first,
00:16:37.206 --> 00:16:39.408
The use of money first, god will not trust you
00:16:39.475 --> 00:16:40.476
God will not trust you with the true riches,
00:16:40.542 --> 00:16:41.610
With the true riches, wisdom and things
00:16:41.677 --> 00:16:42.611
Wisdom and things like that.
00:16:42.678 --> 00:16:43.612
Like that. because you don't even
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:45.080
Because you don't even handle money well.
00:16:45.147 --> 00:16:47.649
Handle money well. so in god's mind,
00:16:47.716 --> 00:16:49.051
So in god's mind, money is least.
00:16:49.118 --> 00:16:50.686
Money is least. show me how you handle it.
00:16:50.752 --> 00:16:54.523
Show me how you handle it. "and you are not faithful in
00:16:54.590 --> 00:16:55.357
"and you are not faithful in debt which is another man's,
00:16:55.424 --> 00:16:57.826
Debt which is another man's, who will give you
00:16:57.893 --> 00:16:58.494
Who will give you what is your own?"
00:16:58.560 --> 00:16:59.895
What is your own?" so god said, "bring the tithes."
00:16:59.962 --> 00:17:01.230
So god said, "bring the tithes." god didn't say,
00:17:01.296 --> 00:17:02.297
God didn't say, "pay me the tithes."
00:17:02.364 --> 00:17:04.833
"pay me the tithes." you know what's the difference?
00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:06.368
You know what's the difference? bring me is mine actually.
00:17:06.435 --> 00:17:10.005
Bring me is mine actually. bring me.
00:17:10.072 --> 00:17:11.206
Bring me. if i lend you a car, i say,
00:17:11.273 --> 00:17:12.341
If i lend you a car, i say, "bring me my car," all right?
00:17:12.407 --> 00:17:14.877
"bring me my car," all right? you don't say,
00:17:14.943 --> 00:17:15.511
You don't say, "i pay you my car.
00:17:15.577 --> 00:17:17.012
"i pay you my car. i pay you the car."
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:17.880
I pay you the car." no, it doesn't make sense
00:17:17.946 --> 00:17:19.414
No, it doesn't make sense because you are bringing back
00:17:19.481 --> 00:17:20.282
Because you are bringing back what belongs to me.
00:17:20.349 --> 00:17:22.217
What belongs to me. and so god says, "bring me."
00:17:22.284 --> 00:17:25.420
And so god says, "bring me." so, "if you're not faithful in
00:17:25.487 --> 00:17:26.321
So, "if you're not faithful in that which is another man's,
00:17:26.388 --> 00:17:27.723
That which is another man's, who will give you what
00:17:27.789 --> 00:17:28.457
Who will give you what is your own?"
00:17:28.524 --> 00:17:29.324
Is your own?" you look at people who want
00:17:29.391 --> 00:17:30.325
You look at people who want a ministry of their own,
00:17:30.392 --> 00:17:31.460
A ministry of their own, but which ministry
00:17:31.527 --> 00:17:32.327
But which ministry are they serving under?
00:17:32.394 --> 00:17:36.098
Are they serving under? god always put you under a man.
00:17:36.165 --> 00:17:38.433
God always put you under a man. before elisha had a ministry
00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:40.068
Before elisha had a ministry of his own,
00:17:40.135 --> 00:17:40.836
Of his own, god put him under elijah.
00:17:40.903 --> 00:17:42.671
God put him under elijah. but elisha had a double portion
00:17:42.738 --> 00:17:44.139
But elisha had a double portion of the miracles that elijah had.
00:17:44.206 --> 00:17:46.808
Of the miracles that elijah had. and yet he was faithful
00:17:46.875 --> 00:17:47.876
And yet he was faithful to wash elijah's hands.
00:17:47.943 --> 00:17:52.481
To wash elijah's hands. now, god says here in malachi
00:17:52.548 --> 00:17:55.717
Now, god says here in malachi about the tithing,
00:17:55.784 --> 00:17:56.318
About the tithing, "you are cursed
00:17:56.385 --> 00:17:56.818
"you are cursed because the ground is cursed."
00:17:56.885 --> 00:17:58.153
Because the ground is cursed." now watch this.
00:17:58.220 --> 00:17:58.887
Now watch this. everything that comes
00:17:58.954 --> 00:17:59.688
Everything that comes on the ground is cursed,
00:17:59.755 --> 00:18:00.489
On the ground is cursed, even the tree, okay?
00:18:00.556 --> 00:18:02.824
Even the tree, okay? that's why we say grace
00:18:02.891 --> 00:18:03.759
That's why we say grace over our food.
00:18:03.825 --> 00:18:04.293
Over our food. people say, "i eat organic."
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.261
People say, "i eat organic." or "i eat food from eden.
00:18:06.328 --> 00:18:08.497
Or "i eat food from eden. i eat eden's diet."
00:18:08.564 --> 00:18:10.098
I eat eden's diet." it means you don't eat meat.
00:18:10.165 --> 00:18:11.033
It means you don't eat meat. no, they eat eden's diet,
00:18:11.099 --> 00:18:12.334
No, they eat eden's diet, before man.
00:18:12.401 --> 00:18:13.202
Before man. but what are you saying is
00:18:13.268 --> 00:18:14.503
But what are you saying is that the earth has not fallen?
00:18:14.570 --> 00:18:15.604
That the earth has not fallen? you're saying that you're going
00:18:15.671 --> 00:18:16.805
You're saying that you're going back to eden as
00:18:16.872 --> 00:18:17.673
Back to eden as if the earth didn't fall.
00:18:17.739 --> 00:18:18.941
If the earth didn't fall. you're trying to redeem
00:18:19.007 --> 00:18:19.875
You're trying to redeem by your own eating.
00:18:19.942 --> 00:18:22.678
By your own eating. no, earth has fallen.
00:18:22.744 --> 00:18:24.179
No, earth has fallen. admit it.
00:18:24.246 --> 00:18:26.281
Admit it. that's why it brings forth
00:18:26.348 --> 00:18:27.015
That's why it brings forth thorns.
00:18:27.082 --> 00:18:27.516
Thorns. and that's why jesus wore
00:18:27.583 --> 00:18:28.217
And that's why jesus wore the crown of thorns to redeem
00:18:28.283 --> 00:18:29.251
The crown of thorns to redeem us from the curse.
00:18:29.318 --> 00:18:30.953
Us from the curse. "bring all the tithes,"
00:18:31.019 --> 00:18:32.054
"bring all the tithes," say "all the tithes,"
00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:33.288
Say "all the tithes," "into the storehouse,
00:18:33.355 --> 00:18:34.389
"into the storehouse, that there may be food
00:18:34.456 --> 00:18:35.691
That there may be food in my house.
00:18:35.757 --> 00:18:36.725
In my house. and try me now in this."
00:18:36.792 --> 00:18:38.760
And try me now in this." king james,
00:18:38.827 --> 00:18:40.095
King james, "prove me now herewith."
00:18:40.162 --> 00:18:41.597
"prove me now herewith." test me!
00:18:41.663 --> 00:18:42.564
Test me! it's the only place where god
00:18:42.631 --> 00:18:43.432
It's the only place where god says, "test me."
00:18:43.498 --> 00:18:45.133
Says, "test me." and the guy did that test,
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.803
And the guy did that test, all right?
00:18:47.869 --> 00:18:48.470
All right? -- guy, the -- you know.
00:18:48.537 --> 00:18:49.738
-- guy, the -- you know. so god says test me:
00:18:49.805 --> 00:18:50.839
So god says test me: "'try me now in this,'
00:18:50.906 --> 00:18:52.140
"'try me now in this,' says the lord of hosts,
00:18:52.207 --> 00:18:53.475
Says the lord of hosts, 'if i will not open for
00:18:53.542 --> 00:18:54.476
'if i will not open for you the windows of heaven.'"
00:18:54.543 --> 00:18:55.944
You the windows of heaven.'" the last time
00:18:56.011 --> 00:18:56.478
The last time the windows of heaven
00:18:56.545 --> 00:18:57.145
The windows of heaven opened, it rained
00:18:57.212 --> 00:18:58.146
Opened, it rained and rained and rained
00:18:58.213 --> 00:18:58.981
And rained and rained 40 days and 40 nights.
00:18:59.047 --> 00:19:01.250
40 days and 40 nights. so when you're tithing,
00:19:01.316 --> 00:19:02.884
So when you're tithing, your blessing
00:19:02.951 --> 00:19:03.552
Your blessing rains 40 days and 40 nights.
00:19:03.619 --> 00:19:05.020
Rains 40 days and 40 nights. next month, must tithe again.
00:19:05.087 --> 00:19:07.723
Next month, must tithe again. or else 40th day, all right?
00:19:07.789 --> 00:19:09.791
Or else 40th day, all right? you know, you put them together.
00:19:09.858 --> 00:19:10.993
You know, you put them together. it rained.
00:19:11.059 --> 00:19:12.160
It rained. the first time windows of heaven
00:19:12.227 --> 00:19:13.262
The first time windows of heaven mentioned,
00:19:13.328 --> 00:19:14.529
Mentioned, the bible says god
00:19:14.596 --> 00:19:15.430
The bible says god rained on the earth
00:19:15.497 --> 00:19:16.265
Rained on the earth 40 days and 40 nights.
00:19:16.331 --> 00:19:17.833
40 days and 40 nights. so it's an idea of monthly.
00:19:17.899 --> 00:19:21.903
So it's an idea of monthly. so, "see if i will not--"
00:19:21.970 --> 00:19:23.538
So, "see if i will not--" test me.
00:19:23.605 --> 00:19:24.339
Test me. "see if i will not open you
00:19:24.406 --> 00:19:25.307
"see if i will not open you the windows of heaven
00:19:25.374 --> 00:19:26.508
The windows of heaven and pour you out
00:19:26.575 --> 00:19:27.442
And pour you out such blessing that
00:19:27.509 --> 00:19:28.910
Such blessing that there will not be room enough
00:19:28.977 --> 00:19:30.212
There will not be room enough to receive it."
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:35.217
To receive it." who is talking?
00:19:35.284 --> 00:19:35.917
Who is talking? god.
00:19:35.984 --> 00:19:36.618
God. next verse.
00:19:36.685 --> 00:19:37.786
Next verse. "and i'll rebuke the devourer."
00:19:37.853 --> 00:19:39.721
"and i'll rebuke the devourer." who is the devourer?
00:19:39.788 --> 00:19:40.422
Who is the devourer? the devil.
00:19:40.489 --> 00:19:42.224
The devil. he goes about seeking
00:19:42.291 --> 00:19:43.292
He goes about seeking whom he may devour.
00:19:43.358 --> 00:19:45.160
Whom he may devour. "i will rebuke the devourer for
00:19:45.227 --> 00:19:46.361
"i will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will
00:19:46.428 --> 00:19:47.496
Your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit
00:19:47.562 --> 00:19:48.730
Not destroy the fruit of your ground,
00:19:48.797 --> 00:19:50.565
Of your ground, nor shall the vine fail
00:19:50.632 --> 00:19:51.733
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you
00:19:51.800 --> 00:19:52.601
To bear fruit for you in the field."
00:19:52.668 --> 00:19:53.468
In the field." you work so hard for something,
00:19:53.535 --> 00:19:54.603
You work so hard for something, only to find at the end, bang,
00:19:54.670 --> 00:19:56.038
Only to find at the end, bang, the whole thing falls through.
00:19:56.104 --> 00:19:57.572
The whole thing falls through. god says the destroyer
00:19:57.639 --> 00:19:58.740
God says the destroyer will not destroy.
00:19:58.807 --> 00:20:01.043
Will not destroy. "nor shall the vine fail.
00:20:01.109 --> 00:20:02.244
"nor shall the vine fail. all the nations will call you
00:20:02.311 --> 00:20:03.245
All the nations will call you blessed, for you will be
00:20:03.312 --> 00:20:04.346
Blessed, for you will be a delightful land."
00:20:04.413 --> 00:20:06.648
A delightful land." you know what it means,
00:20:06.715 --> 00:20:07.382
You know what it means, "you are a delightful land"?
00:20:07.449 --> 00:20:08.417
"you are a delightful land"? you are a delightful land.
00:20:08.483 --> 00:20:10.052
You are a delightful land. that means people want
00:20:10.118 --> 00:20:10.619
That means people want to invest in you.
00:20:10.686 --> 00:20:12.821
To invest in you. people want to be with you.
00:20:12.888 --> 00:20:14.623
People want to be with you. they want to invest in you.
00:20:14.690 --> 00:20:16.091
They want to invest in you. they see you as someone
00:20:16.158 --> 00:20:17.893
They see you as someone worth investing.
00:20:17.959 --> 00:20:23.098
Worth investing. "well, pastor prince, this is
00:20:23.165 --> 00:20:24.066
"well, pastor prince, this is a old testament scripture."
00:20:24.132 --> 00:20:25.100
A old testament scripture." oh yeah?
00:20:25.167 --> 00:20:26.234
Oh yeah? what chapter is this?
00:20:26.301 --> 00:20:28.136
What chapter is this? chapter 3, right?
00:20:28.203 --> 00:20:29.671
Chapter 3, right? what chapter is this?
00:20:29.738 --> 00:20:31.540
What chapter is this? let's look at how
00:20:31.606 --> 00:20:32.341
Let's look at how chapter 3 opens.
00:20:32.407 --> 00:20:33.408
Chapter 3 opens. verse 1: "behold, i send
00:20:33.475 --> 00:20:34.810
Verse 1: "behold, i send my messenger, he will prepare
00:20:34.876 --> 00:20:35.777
My messenger, he will prepare the way before me.
00:20:35.844 --> 00:20:36.912
The way before me. and the lord, whom you seek."
00:20:36.978 --> 00:20:38.280
And the lord, whom you seek." now the first part here refers
00:20:38.347 --> 00:20:39.414
Now the first part here refers to his first coming,
00:20:39.481 --> 00:20:40.115
To his first coming, but look at this.
00:20:40.182 --> 00:20:40.916
But look at this. "and the lord whom you seek,
00:20:40.982 --> 00:20:41.783
"and the lord whom you seek, will suddenly come
00:20:41.850 --> 00:20:42.551
Will suddenly come to his temple."
00:20:42.617 --> 00:20:43.185
To his temple." his first coming,
00:20:43.251 --> 00:20:43.852
His first coming, he didn't come suddenly.
00:20:43.919 --> 00:20:46.655
He didn't come suddenly. but his second coming, he will
00:20:46.722 --> 00:20:47.556
But his second coming, he will come suddenly, all right?
00:20:47.622 --> 00:20:50.125
Come suddenly, all right? now, look at verse 2: "who can
00:20:50.192 --> 00:20:53.595
Now, look at verse 2: "who can endure the day of his coming?"
00:20:53.662 --> 00:20:54.596
Endure the day of his coming?" this is not the first coming
00:20:54.663 --> 00:20:55.630
This is not the first coming when he came as a baby boy
00:20:55.697 --> 00:20:56.898
When he came as a baby boy in bethlehem.
00:20:56.965 --> 00:20:58.433
In bethlehem. everyone can endure that.
00:20:58.500 --> 00:21:00.635
Everyone can endure that. "but who can endure
00:21:00.702 --> 00:21:01.336
"but who can endure the day of his coming?"
00:21:01.403 --> 00:21:02.170
The day of his coming?" is the coming of the lord
00:21:02.237 --> 00:21:03.972
Is the coming of the lord to judge.
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:05.874
To judge. we'll be coming with him.
00:21:05.941 --> 00:21:08.410
We'll be coming with him. "who can stand when he appears?"
00:21:08.477 --> 00:21:10.212
"who can stand when he appears?" so the context refers
00:21:10.278 --> 00:21:11.446
So the context refers to the second coming.
00:21:11.513 --> 00:21:12.414
To the second coming. and it's telling us, even during
00:21:12.481 --> 00:21:13.815
And it's telling us, even during that time, while we are waiting
00:21:13.882 --> 00:21:15.217
That time, while we are waiting for the second coming,
00:21:15.283 --> 00:21:16.518
For the second coming, the lord talks about tithing.
00:21:16.585 --> 00:21:19.187
The lord talks about tithing. so i'll close with this story.
00:21:19.254 --> 00:21:21.690
So i'll close with this story. when israel came back
00:21:21.757 --> 00:21:22.924
When israel came back from captivity, from babylon,
00:21:22.991 --> 00:21:25.427
From captivity, from babylon, there were not many people.
00:21:25.494 --> 00:21:26.962
There were not many people. nehemiah was their leader,
00:21:27.028 --> 00:21:28.063
Nehemiah was their leader, the governor.
00:21:28.130 --> 00:21:29.097
The governor. so they had to learn
00:21:29.164 --> 00:21:29.765
So they had to learn the ways of god.
00:21:29.831 --> 00:21:30.599
The ways of god. they had to rebuild the temple.
00:21:30.665 --> 00:21:31.867
They had to rebuild the temple. and when the temple was rebuilt,
00:21:31.933 --> 00:21:33.668
And when the temple was rebuilt, they all start crying because
00:21:33.735 --> 00:21:34.870
They all start crying because the older people remembered
00:21:34.936 --> 00:21:36.037
The older people remembered the temple of solomon.
00:21:36.104 --> 00:21:36.938
The temple of solomon. it's not even close
00:21:37.005 --> 00:21:37.806
It's not even close to the temple of solomon.
00:21:37.873 --> 00:21:38.740
To the temple of solomon. so they wept, they cried.
00:21:38.807 --> 00:21:39.975
So they wept, they cried. but then haggai the prophet
00:21:40.041 --> 00:21:41.943
But then haggai the prophet says, "don't cry because
00:21:42.010 --> 00:21:43.545
Says, "don't cry because the glory of this latter house
00:21:43.612 --> 00:21:44.980
The glory of this latter house will be greater
00:21:45.046 --> 00:21:45.781
Will be greater than the former."
00:21:45.847 --> 00:21:46.415
Than the former." you know who will
00:21:46.481 --> 00:21:47.182
You know who will step into that new building?
00:21:47.249 --> 00:21:48.417
Step into that new building? herod will start rebuilding it
00:21:48.483 --> 00:21:49.584
Herod will start rebuilding it also, but it's a building
00:21:49.651 --> 00:21:50.886
Also, but it's a building of nehemiah nonetheless
00:21:50.952 --> 00:21:51.987
Of nehemiah nonetheless that was started.
00:21:52.053 --> 00:21:53.121
That was started. and you know who will step in?
00:21:53.188 --> 00:21:54.189
And you know who will step in? jesus christ.
00:21:54.256 --> 00:21:55.357
Jesus christ. so even though
00:21:55.424 --> 00:21:56.425
So even though it's inferior-looking compared
00:21:56.491 --> 00:21:58.193
It's inferior-looking compared to solomon, the glory
00:21:58.260 --> 00:21:59.961
To solomon, the glory of this latter house will be
00:22:00.028 --> 00:22:01.129
Of this latter house will be greater than the former.
00:22:01.196 --> 00:22:01.997
Greater than the former. why?
00:22:02.063 --> 00:22:02.631
Why? the son of god
00:22:02.697 --> 00:22:03.498
The son of god will walk into it, amen?
00:22:03.565 --> 00:22:12.307
Will walk into it, amen? i feel like just nehemiah
00:22:12.374 --> 00:22:14.743
I feel like just nehemiah throwing out everything that
00:22:14.810 --> 00:22:16.111
Throwing out everything that took the place of the tithe.
00:22:16.178 --> 00:22:17.479
Took the place of the tithe. especially the teaching,
00:22:17.546 --> 00:22:18.447
Especially the teaching, god is good,
00:22:18.513 --> 00:22:19.214
God is good, therefore you don't have
00:22:19.281 --> 00:22:19.948
Therefore you don't have to tithe, you know?
00:22:20.015 --> 00:22:21.216
To tithe, you know? god is good, therefore we tithe.
00:22:21.283 --> 00:22:23.652
God is good, therefore we tithe. because he takes out 10%.
00:22:23.718 --> 00:22:24.986
Because he takes out 10%. no senior partner takes out 10%,
00:22:25.053 --> 00:22:27.389
No senior partner takes out 10%, you know?
00:22:27.456 --> 00:22:28.256
You know? they want at least more than 50,
00:22:28.323 --> 00:22:30.892
They want at least more than 50, at least 51%, at the least.
00:22:30.959 --> 00:22:33.695
At least 51%, at the least. in god's mind, just like
00:22:33.762 --> 00:22:36.531
In god's mind, just like abraham's servant, when he went
00:22:36.598 --> 00:22:38.467
Abraham's servant, when he went to find a bride for abraham's
00:22:38.533 --> 00:22:41.002
To find a bride for abraham's son, isaac, what did he do?
00:22:41.069 --> 00:22:42.437
Son, isaac, what did he do? he took ten camels.
00:22:42.504 --> 00:22:44.072
He took ten camels. say "ten camels."
00:22:44.139 --> 00:22:45.474
Say "ten camels." actually,
00:22:45.540 --> 00:22:46.041
Actually, we have that real quick.
00:22:46.107 --> 00:22:46.775
We have that real quick. show them.
00:22:46.842 --> 00:22:47.409
Show them. "the servant took ten
00:22:47.476 --> 00:22:48.276
"the servant took ten of his master's camels."
00:22:48.343 --> 00:22:49.377
Of his master's camels." how many camels he took?
00:22:49.444 --> 00:22:50.812
How many camels he took? but in god's eyes,
00:22:50.879 --> 00:22:51.680
But in god's eyes, the idea of ten
00:22:51.746 --> 00:22:52.414
The idea of ten in the hebrew mind is this:
00:22:52.481 --> 00:22:53.882
In the hebrew mind is this: "for all his master's goods
00:22:53.949 --> 00:22:55.517
"for all his master's goods were in his hand."
00:22:55.584 --> 00:22:57.752
Were in his hand." ten represents the whole.
00:22:57.819 --> 00:22:59.321
Ten represents the whole. he took ten camels and god
00:22:59.387 --> 00:23:01.289
He took ten camels and god says everything that his master
00:23:01.356 --> 00:23:03.091
Says everything that his master had was in his hand.
00:23:03.158 --> 00:23:04.459
Had was in his hand. when you give ten to god,
00:23:04.526 --> 00:23:05.393
When you give ten to god, listen, look up here,
00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:06.127
Listen, look up here, look up here.
00:23:06.194 --> 00:23:06.795
Look up here. you know why it blesses you
00:23:06.862 --> 00:23:07.896
You know why it blesses you more than just finances?
00:23:07.963 --> 00:23:08.864
More than just finances? because the tithe, when you
00:23:08.930 --> 00:23:10.832
Because the tithe, when you give god the 10% of your income,
00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:12.367
Give god the 10% of your income, some give more
00:23:12.434 --> 00:23:13.134
Some give more than that and it's up
00:23:13.201 --> 00:23:14.636
Than that and it's up to you, between you and god.
00:23:14.703 --> 00:23:15.837
To you, between you and god. but 10% is the minimum.
00:23:15.904 --> 00:23:17.739
But 10% is the minimum. listen, if you give 10%,
00:23:17.806 --> 00:23:19.207
Listen, if you give 10%, it's not just money.
00:23:19.274 --> 00:23:21.343
It's not just money. it represents your blood,
00:23:21.409 --> 00:23:22.277
It represents your blood, sweat, and tears every month.
00:23:22.344 --> 00:23:24.212
Sweat, and tears every month. every sacrifice you make to go
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:25.547
Every sacrifice you make to go to work, every time you feel,
00:23:25.614 --> 00:23:27.148
To work, every time you feel, you know, whatever it is, you go
00:23:27.215 --> 00:23:28.416
You know, whatever it is, you go to work, your effort, your
00:23:28.483 --> 00:23:29.751
To work, your effort, your labor, your blood, sweat,
00:23:29.818 --> 00:23:30.852
Labor, your blood, sweat, and tears, literally, you know.
00:23:30.919 --> 00:23:32.521
And tears, literally, you know. maybe not blood, but sweat
00:23:32.587 --> 00:23:33.889
Maybe not blood, but sweat and tears, amen,
00:23:33.955 --> 00:23:35.257
And tears, amen, the misunderstanding.
00:23:35.323 --> 00:23:36.157
The misunderstanding. all that are seeds that
00:23:36.224 --> 00:23:37.692
All that are seeds that come back to you
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:38.627
Come back to you in money form, right?
00:23:38.693 --> 00:23:40.896
In money form, right? so when you tithe that part,
00:23:40.962 --> 00:23:42.964
So when you tithe that part, it's not just money anymore.
00:23:43.031 --> 00:23:44.332
It's not just money anymore. it represents the whole month of
00:23:44.399 --> 00:23:46.101
It represents the whole month of your sweat, your labor,
00:23:46.167 --> 00:23:48.370
Your sweat, your labor, your inconveniences,
00:23:48.436 --> 00:23:49.504
Your inconveniences, whatever it is.
00:23:49.571 --> 00:23:50.338
Whatever it is. and it comes back.
00:23:50.405 --> 00:23:51.239
And it comes back. you sacrifice time with family,
00:23:51.306 --> 00:23:52.541
You sacrifice time with family, it's in that seed.
00:23:52.607 --> 00:23:54.509
It's in that seed. and that's why it comes back
00:23:54.576 --> 00:23:55.911
And that's why it comes back and blesses the family.
00:23:55.977 --> 00:23:57.946
And blesses the family. so the tithe is not
00:23:58.013 --> 00:23:58.847
So the tithe is not just financial, okay?
00:23:58.914 --> 00:24:01.082
So when you leave this place
00:24:01.149 --> 00:24:02.250
So when you leave this place today, remember, prosperity
00:24:02.317 --> 00:24:04.419
Today, remember, prosperity is not just financial.
00:24:04.486 --> 00:24:05.520
Is not just financial. poor is the man who is just rich
00:24:05.587 --> 00:24:07.155
Poor is the man who is just rich financially, but an empty shell.
00:24:07.222 --> 00:24:09.424
Financially, but an empty shell. and all the people said.
00:24:09.491 --> 00:24:11.393

On the very thing
00:24:20.769 --> 00:24:21.636
That is about to drown you.
00:24:21.703 --> 00:24:23.939
The lord on high is far above

All the waters that trouble you.

Amen.

00:24:29.210 --> 00:24:30.011
With anxious thoughts
00:24:30.078 --> 00:24:31.279
And a constant fear
00:24:31.346 --> 00:24:32.514
Of what the future might bring?
