I'll begin reading with verse 17.
00:00:38.074 --> 00:00:39.876
"again proclaim, saying,
00:00:39.976 --> 00:00:41.911
'thus says the lord of hosts:
00:00:41.978 --> 00:00:45.048
'my cities shall again spread
00:00:45.115 --> 00:00:47.617

Notice that, through prosperity.
00:00:58.561 --> 00:01:01.464
Through prosperity. a bible word.
00:01:01.531 --> 00:01:03.066
A bible word. "the lord will again
00:01:03.133 --> 00:01:04.367
"the lord will again comfort zion,
00:01:04.434 --> 00:01:06.136
Comfort zion, he will again choose jerusalem.'
00:01:06.202 --> 00:01:09.706
He will again choose jerusalem.' then i raised my eyes
00:01:09.772 --> 00:01:11.441
Then i raised my eyes and looked,
00:01:11.508 --> 00:01:12.475
And looked, and there were four horns.
00:01:12.542 --> 00:01:14.878
And there were four horns. and i said to the angel
00:01:14.944 --> 00:01:16.179
And i said to the angel who talked with me,
00:01:16.246 --> 00:01:17.347
Who talked with me, 'what are these?'
00:01:17.413 --> 00:01:17.914
So he answered,
00:01:18.014 --> 00:01:19.315
'these are the horns
00:01:19.382 --> 00:01:21.050
That have scattered judah,
00:01:21.117 --> 00:01:22.719
Israel, and jerusalem.'
00:01:22.785 --> 00:01:26.422
Then the lord showed me
00:01:26.523 --> 00:01:28.291
Then the lord showed me four carpenters --
00:01:28.358 --> 00:01:30.059
Four carpenters -- or craftsmen."
00:01:30.126 --> 00:01:32.562
Or craftsmen." the king james says carpenters.
00:01:32.629 --> 00:01:34.931
The king james says carpenters. "and i said,
00:01:34.998 --> 00:01:35.899
"and i said, 'who are these coming to --
00:01:35.965 --> 00:01:38.001
'who are these coming to -- what are these
00:01:38.067 --> 00:01:39.202
What are these coming to do?'
00:01:39.269 --> 00:01:39.736
Coming to do?' so he said,
00:01:39.802 --> 00:01:40.837
So he said, 'these are the horns
00:01:40.904 --> 00:01:42.172
'these are the horns that scattered judah,
00:01:42.238 --> 00:01:44.374
That scattered judah, so that no one could
00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:46.042
So that no one could lift their head;
00:01:46.109 --> 00:01:48.211
But the craftsmen,"
00:01:48.311 --> 00:01:49.345
Or the carpenters,
00:01:49.412 --> 00:01:50.146
"are coming to terrify them,
00:01:50.213 --> 00:01:52.182
To cast out the horns
00:01:52.248 --> 00:01:53.516
Of the nations that lifted up
00:01:53.583 --> 00:01:55.285
Their horn against the land
00:01:55.351 --> 00:01:57.854
Of judah to scatter it."
00:01:57.921 --> 00:02:00.957
It's really something
00:02:01.057 --> 00:02:01.991
It's really something when you read these verses
00:02:02.058 --> 00:02:03.193
When you read these verses and you see what's happening
00:02:03.259 --> 00:02:04.194
And you see what's happening in israel,
00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:05.295
In israel, even as we're speaking.
00:02:05.361 --> 00:02:06.996
Even as we're speaking. same ancient spirits trying
00:02:07.063 --> 00:02:10.033
Same ancient spirits trying to scatter and destroy.
00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:12.902
To scatter and destroy. but this is one of the powerful
00:02:12.969 --> 00:02:17.006
But this is one of the powerful insights and visions
00:02:17.073 --> 00:02:18.975
Insights and visions that zechariah had,
00:02:19.042 --> 00:02:22.679
That zechariah had, and it starts out as soon
00:02:22.745 --> 00:02:25.114
And it starts out as soon as god spoke prosperity
00:02:25.181 --> 00:02:28.084
As god spoke prosperity over the nation and over
00:02:28.151 --> 00:02:30.420
Over the nation and over the city of jerusalem,
00:02:30.486 --> 00:02:32.555
The city of jerusalem, which is a type
00:02:32.622 --> 00:02:33.523
Which is a type of the church,
00:02:33.590 --> 00:02:34.257
Of the church, and over judah,
00:02:34.324 --> 00:02:35.892
And over judah, which is the righteous seed,
00:02:35.959 --> 00:02:38.094
Which is the righteous seed, a type of the christians,
00:02:38.161 --> 00:02:40.930
A type of the christians, the believer.
00:02:40.997 --> 00:02:42.498
The believer. god spoke prosperity
00:02:42.565 --> 00:02:45.335
God spoke prosperity to the nation,
00:02:45.401 --> 00:02:48.371
To the nation, and as soon as god did that,
00:02:48.438 --> 00:02:50.373
And as soon as god did that, instantly the prophet saw,
00:02:50.440 --> 00:02:53.509
Instantly the prophet saw, in a vision, four horns
00:02:53.576 --> 00:02:55.845
In a vision, four horns of resistance arise.
00:02:55.912 --> 00:02:58.781
Of resistance arise. horns are always symbolic
00:02:58.848 --> 00:03:00.450
Horns are always symbolic of unbridled power.
00:03:00.516 --> 00:03:02.919
Of unbridled power. and in this case,
00:03:02.986 --> 00:03:04.387
And in this case, it's satanic power
00:03:04.454 --> 00:03:05.755
It's satanic power with two objectives,
00:03:05.822 --> 00:03:07.390
With two objectives, number one,
00:03:07.457 --> 00:03:07.957
Number one, to scatter israel,
00:03:08.024 --> 00:03:09.659
To scatter israel, to divide families,
00:03:09.726 --> 00:03:11.294
To divide families, to divide people,
00:03:11.361 --> 00:03:13.763
To divide people, and to decimate.
00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:15.965
And to decimate. and then secondly,
00:03:16.032 --> 00:03:17.066
And then secondly, so that --
00:03:17.133 --> 00:03:18.401
So that -- to so depress,
00:03:18.468 --> 00:03:19.435
To so depress, and discourage,
00:03:19.502 --> 00:03:20.436
And discourage, and defeat
00:03:20.503 --> 00:03:21.771
And defeat that no man could
00:03:21.838 --> 00:03:23.406
That no man could lift up his head.
00:03:23.473 --> 00:03:26.409
Lift up his head. and these four principalities,
00:03:26.476 --> 00:03:28.745
And these four principalities, these four demon spirits
00:03:28.811 --> 00:03:31.681
These four demon spirits assigned to the people of god
00:03:31.748 --> 00:03:35.685
Assigned to the people of god to keep their heads down,
00:03:35.752 --> 00:03:39.188
To keep their heads down, to oppress,
00:03:39.255 --> 00:03:40.189
To oppress, to depress, to defeat,"
00:03:40.256 --> 00:03:42.592
To depress, to defeat," and listen carefully,
00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:44.127
And listen carefully, "to stop
00:03:44.193 --> 00:03:45.395
"to stop from spreading out."
00:03:45.461 --> 00:03:46.629
From spreading out." when i read
00:03:46.696 --> 00:03:47.630
When i read the spreading out part,
00:03:47.697 --> 00:03:49.265
The spreading out part, i thought about going to all
00:03:49.332 --> 00:03:50.767
I thought about going to all the world and preach the gospel.
00:03:50.833 --> 00:03:52.802
The world and preach the gospel. the spreading out.
00:03:52.869 --> 00:03:53.936
The spreading out. and what i'm gonna share
00:03:54.003 --> 00:03:55.204
And what i'm gonna share with you this morning is not
00:03:55.271 --> 00:03:58.508
With you this morning is not something that i read somewhere,
00:03:58.574 --> 00:04:00.510
Something that i read somewhere, i'm sharing this with you
00:04:00.576 --> 00:04:02.245
I'm sharing this with you because it is what i have seen
00:04:02.312 --> 00:04:06.616
Because it is what i have seen god do in this church.
00:04:06.683 --> 00:04:08.584
God do in this church. we had to confront
00:04:08.651 --> 00:04:10.286
We had to confront these four horns
00:04:10.353 --> 00:04:11.387
These four horns that i'm gonna talk about.
00:04:11.454 --> 00:04:12.655
That i'm gonna talk about. and whether you're
00:04:12.722 --> 00:04:13.656
And whether you're building a business,
00:04:13.723 --> 00:04:14.924
Building a business, or building a family,
00:04:14.991 --> 00:04:16.059
Or building a family, or building a career,
00:04:16.125 --> 00:04:17.427
Or building a career, or building a dream,
00:04:17.493 --> 00:04:19.295
Or building a dream, or building a church,
00:04:19.362 --> 00:04:21.531
Or building a church, you will encounter
00:04:21.597 --> 00:04:23.866
You will encounter the resistance,
00:04:23.933 --> 00:04:25.001
The resistance, especially if it's something
00:04:25.068 --> 00:04:26.803
Especially if it's something god has put in your
00:04:26.869 --> 00:04:27.904
God has put in your heart to build.
00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:29.972
Heart to build. and that's why it talks about
00:04:30.039 --> 00:04:31.841
And that's why it talks about the spirit of the carpenter.
00:04:31.908 --> 00:04:33.443
The spirit of the carpenter. four carpenters came
00:04:33.509 --> 00:04:35.044
Four carpenters came to the rescue when
00:04:35.111 --> 00:04:36.479
To the rescue when they were under attack
00:04:36.546 --> 00:04:38.581
They were under attack because the carpenter has
00:04:38.648 --> 00:04:41.417
Because the carpenter has got to come and help.
00:04:41.484 --> 00:04:44.420
Got to come and help. it's a beautiful picture
00:04:44.487 --> 00:04:45.655
It's a beautiful picture of jesus christ.
00:04:45.722 --> 00:04:48.124
Of jesus christ. and the prosperity,
00:04:48.191 --> 00:04:49.525
And the prosperity, the scripture said,
00:04:49.592 --> 00:04:50.793
The scripture said, was given to spread abroad,
00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:53.329
Was given to spread abroad, spread abroad the nations.
00:04:53.396 --> 00:04:55.431
Spread abroad the nations. and let's say spread abroad
00:04:55.498 --> 00:04:57.266
And let's say spread abroad the kingdom of god
00:04:57.333 --> 00:04:58.601
The kingdom of god and the good news
00:04:58.668 --> 00:04:59.235
And the good news of jesus christ.
00:04:59.302 --> 00:05:00.737
Of jesus christ. and when you think
00:05:00.803 --> 00:05:01.437
And when you think of the word prosperity,
00:05:01.504 --> 00:05:02.939
Of the word prosperity, don't just think of money.
00:05:03.005 --> 00:05:05.074
Don't just think of money. but i want you to think
00:05:05.141 --> 00:05:05.975
But i want you to think of a prosperous marriage,
00:05:06.042 --> 00:05:07.910
Of a prosperous marriage, a prosperous career,
00:05:07.977 --> 00:05:09.445
A prosperous career, a prosperous family,
00:05:09.512 --> 00:05:11.381
A prosperous family, prosperous work,
00:05:11.447 --> 00:05:12.749
Prosperous work, and dreams.
00:05:12.815 --> 00:05:15.151
And dreams. god wants his people
00:05:15.218 --> 00:05:17.186
God wants his people to be productive and fruitful.
00:05:17.253 --> 00:05:19.922
To be productive and fruitful. and he said,
00:05:19.989 --> 00:05:20.723
And he said, "i've decreed prosperity,
00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:22.658
"i've decreed prosperity, a breaking forth,
00:05:22.725 --> 00:05:24.260
A breaking forth, a spreading out,
00:05:24.327 --> 00:05:26.095
A spreading out, a breakthrough,
00:05:26.162 --> 00:05:26.829
A breakthrough, a spreading abroad
00:05:26.896 --> 00:05:28.664
A spreading abroad to do more,
00:05:28.731 --> 00:05:29.565
To do more, to grow more,
00:05:29.632 --> 00:05:30.700
To grow more, to expand more."
00:05:30.767 --> 00:05:32.969
To expand more." and jesus,
00:05:33.035 --> 00:05:33.736
And jesus, the son of the carpenter,
00:05:33.803 --> 00:05:36.873
The son of the carpenter, is part of that under
00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:38.574
Is part of that under the new covenant.
00:05:38.641 --> 00:05:40.076
The new covenant. and i believe the four horns are
00:05:40.143 --> 00:05:42.011
And i believe the four horns are the four gospels:
00:05:42.078 --> 00:05:43.012
The four gospels: matthew, mark, luke, and john.
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.915
Matthew, mark, luke, and john. and i'm sending today,
00:05:45.982 --> 00:05:48.418
And i'm sending today, and i'm coming today
00:05:48.484 --> 00:05:50.052
And i'm coming today in the spirit of the carpenter
00:05:50.119 --> 00:05:51.287
In the spirit of the carpenter to talk to you
00:05:51.354 --> 00:05:52.155
To talk to you from my heart.
00:05:52.221 --> 00:05:54.223
From my heart. just when the horns
00:05:54.290 --> 00:05:55.992
Just when the horns were pressing them down,
00:05:56.058 --> 00:05:57.860
Were pressing them down, jesus christ and
00:05:57.927 --> 00:05:59.195
Jesus christ and the spirit of the carpenters
00:05:59.262 --> 00:06:01.130
The spirit of the carpenters showed up to rebuild the nation,
00:06:01.197 --> 00:06:04.033
Showed up to rebuild the nation, rebuild the homes
00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:05.701
Rebuild the homes and the families,
00:06:05.768 --> 00:06:06.469
And the families, rebuild what was once
00:06:06.536 --> 00:06:08.237
Rebuild what was once great that had been demolished.
00:06:08.304 --> 00:06:12.175
Great that had been demolished. the first horn i wanna liken
00:06:12.241 --> 00:06:13.810
The first horn i wanna liken and call the spirit of lack.
00:06:13.876 --> 00:06:16.846
And call the spirit of lack. because if you're gonna
00:06:16.913 --> 00:06:18.114
Because if you're gonna build something,
00:06:18.181 --> 00:06:19.549
Build something, sooner or later you will
00:06:19.615 --> 00:06:20.416
Sooner or later you will come in conflict
00:06:20.483 --> 00:06:22.819
Come in conflict with the spirit of lack.
00:06:22.885 --> 00:06:25.455
With the spirit of lack. we have to do our work,
00:06:25.521 --> 00:06:26.589
We have to do our work, we have to do our part,
00:06:26.656 --> 00:06:28.624
We have to do our part, we have to be excellent
00:06:28.691 --> 00:06:29.926
We have to be excellent at what we do.
00:06:29.992 --> 00:06:31.060
At what we do. but as soon as you start to lift
00:06:31.127 --> 00:06:32.829
But as soon as you start to lift up your head,
00:06:32.895 --> 00:06:33.996
Up your head, and god gives you a vision.
00:06:34.063 --> 00:06:35.565
And god gives you a vision. i know it happened to me
00:06:35.631 --> 00:06:37.066
I know it happened to me when i came here,
00:06:37.133 --> 00:06:38.501
When i came here, and cherise when
00:06:38.568 --> 00:06:39.469
And cherise when we came here.
00:06:39.535 --> 00:06:40.303
We came here. i was 28 years old when i became
00:06:40.369 --> 00:06:42.872
I was 28 years old when i became pastor of this church,
00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:44.073
Pastor of this church, and cherise is
00:06:44.140 --> 00:06:45.107
And cherise is seven years younger than me.
00:06:45.174 --> 00:06:46.843
Seven years younger than me. and we were really kids.
00:06:46.909 --> 00:06:48.411
And we were really kids. we did not know what
00:06:48.478 --> 00:06:49.812
We did not know what we were doing.
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:50.913
We were doing. we just had a vision,
00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:51.981
We just had a vision, we just had a dream
00:06:52.048 --> 00:06:53.316
We just had a dream for this church
00:06:53.382 --> 00:06:54.250
For this church called free chapel.
00:06:54.317 --> 00:06:56.085
Called free chapel. it felt right,
00:06:56.152 --> 00:06:57.253
It felt right, it lived up to its name,
00:06:57.320 --> 00:06:58.588
It lived up to its name, it felt free.
00:06:58.654 --> 00:07:00.223
It felt free. and it felt like something,
00:07:00.289 --> 00:07:01.858
And it felt like something, god had a special
00:07:01.924 --> 00:07:03.092
God had a special assignment on this place.
00:07:03.159 --> 00:07:05.394
Assignment on this place. and i remember those days,
00:07:05.461 --> 00:07:06.629
And i remember those days, i remember pulling up into
00:07:06.696 --> 00:07:07.897
I remember pulling up into the parking lot
00:07:07.964 --> 00:07:09.031
The parking lot on browns bridge road
00:07:09.098 --> 00:07:10.233
On browns bridge road of that building.
00:07:10.299 --> 00:07:12.068
Of that building. and i also know that as soon
00:07:12.134 --> 00:07:15.137
And i also know that as soon as we started growing,
00:07:15.204 --> 00:07:16.906
As we started growing, the spirit of lack
00:07:16.973 --> 00:07:18.474
The spirit of lack began to challenge the vision
00:07:18.541 --> 00:07:20.243
Began to challenge the vision that god had given me
00:07:20.309 --> 00:07:22.111
That god had given me and the leadership
00:07:22.178 --> 00:07:23.212
And the leadership for this church
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:24.981
For this church to keep up in the same place,
00:07:25.047 --> 00:07:27.650
To keep up in the same place, to keep us on the same level.
00:07:27.717 --> 00:07:31.020
To keep us on the same level. it can even --
00:07:31.087 --> 00:07:31.954
It can even -- the spirit of lack can
00:07:32.021 --> 00:07:33.155
The spirit of lack can even attach itself to families.
00:07:33.222 --> 00:07:35.892
Even attach itself to families. and for generation
00:07:35.958 --> 00:07:37.059
And for generation after generation,
00:07:37.126 --> 00:07:38.327
After generation, they never break out,
00:07:38.394 --> 00:07:40.129
They never break out, they never get out from under
00:07:40.196 --> 00:07:42.632
They never get out from under the horn that causes
00:07:42.698 --> 00:07:44.333
The horn that causes the family to stay down.
00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:47.003
The family to stay down. and i'll never forget one thing
00:07:47.069 --> 00:07:48.838
And i'll never forget one thing that really happened to me.
00:07:48.905 --> 00:07:50.773
That really happened to me. for ten years,
00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:51.774
For ten years, our television
00:07:51.841 --> 00:07:52.742
Our television ministry struggled,
00:07:52.808 --> 00:07:54.510
Ministry struggled, and for ten years,
00:07:54.577 --> 00:07:55.411
And for ten years, it was in the red,
00:07:55.478 --> 00:07:56.979
It was in the red, and for ten years,
00:07:57.046 --> 00:07:58.581
And for ten years, it bumped along,
00:07:58.648 --> 00:07:59.982
It bumped along, it had downs,
00:08:00.049 --> 00:08:01.417
It had downs, and highs, and lows,
00:08:01.484 --> 00:08:03.386
And highs, and lows, and it was no consistency.
00:08:03.452 --> 00:08:04.954
And it was no consistency. it was always a challenge.
00:08:05.021 --> 00:08:06.622
It was always a challenge. i wanted to quit so many times.
00:08:06.689 --> 00:08:08.691
I wanted to quit so many times. and you know why?
00:08:08.758 --> 00:08:09.258
And you know why? the spirit of lack.
00:08:09.325 --> 00:08:10.593
The spirit of lack. the spirit of lack
00:08:10.660 --> 00:08:11.627
The spirit of lack kept saying, "look.
00:08:11.694 --> 00:08:12.461
Kept saying, "look. look how much --
00:08:12.528 --> 00:08:13.262
Look how much -- look, look.
00:08:13.329 --> 00:08:15.498
Look, look. you're not as -- you're not --
00:08:15.565 --> 00:08:16.699
You're not as -- you're not -- it's not doing anything.
00:08:16.766 --> 00:08:17.800
It's not doing anything. nobody's gonna help you.
00:08:17.867 --> 00:08:19.101
Nobody's gonna help you. you're not gonna
00:08:19.168 --> 00:08:20.036
You're not gonna be able to sustain this."
00:08:20.102 --> 00:08:21.938
Be able to sustain this." and so, we had brought
00:08:22.004 --> 00:08:23.039
And so, we had brought this property that we're on,
00:08:23.105 --> 00:08:24.340
This property that we're on, the 150 acres that
00:08:24.407 --> 00:08:25.741
The 150 acres that we're on now,
00:08:25.808 --> 00:08:26.976
We're on now, and we were building
00:08:27.043 --> 00:08:28.344
And we were building this sanctuary,
00:08:28.411 --> 00:08:30.646
This sanctuary, this building right here.
00:08:30.713 --> 00:08:32.114
This building right here. and the beams were up,
00:08:32.181 --> 00:08:33.616
And the beams were up, and some of the pouring
00:08:33.683 --> 00:08:34.917
And some of the pouring was up,
00:08:34.984 --> 00:08:36.185
Was up, the cement slab --
00:08:36.252 --> 00:08:38.588
The cement slab -- here in gainesville,
00:08:38.654 --> 00:08:39.589
Here in gainesville, for those of you who are
00:08:39.655 --> 00:08:40.356
For those of you who are joining us at all
00:08:40.423 --> 00:08:40.990
Joining us at all of our campuses,
00:08:41.057 --> 00:08:42.224
Of our campuses, the slab was all that
00:08:42.291 --> 00:08:43.492
The slab was all that we had in here.
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.261
We had in here. and i walked into
00:08:45.328 --> 00:08:46.696
And i walked into the other building
00:08:46.762 --> 00:08:47.630
The other building where there's a little studio,
00:08:47.697 --> 00:08:49.332
Where there's a little studio, you could call it a studio,
00:08:49.398 --> 00:08:51.100
You could call it a studio, it's just a room with a high --
00:08:51.167 --> 00:08:53.002
It's just a room with a high -- we didn't have a lot of money
00:08:53.069 --> 00:08:54.837
We didn't have a lot of money to do that when you're
00:08:54.904 --> 00:08:56.405
To do that when you're doing a 24 million dollar
00:08:56.472 --> 00:08:58.274
Doing a 24 million dollar building program right here.
00:08:58.341 --> 00:09:01.277
Building program right here. and we had paid
00:09:01.344 --> 00:09:02.244
And we had paid that building off,
00:09:02.311 --> 00:09:03.145
That building off, and we were wise.
00:09:03.212 --> 00:09:03.980
And we were wise. we knew we could afford it
00:09:04.046 --> 00:09:05.481
We knew we could afford it and had all the financing.
00:09:05.548 --> 00:09:07.049
And had all the financing. but just hear me a minute.
00:09:07.116 --> 00:09:08.551
But just hear me a minute. so, i walked into the studio
00:09:08.618 --> 00:09:11.988
So, i walked into the studio over there,
00:09:12.054 --> 00:09:12.755
Over there, which is a little room.
00:09:12.822 --> 00:09:14.423
Which is a little room. and i sat down,
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:16.092
And i sat down, and at the time,
00:09:16.158 --> 00:09:17.059
And at the time, we had equipment that
00:09:17.126 --> 00:09:18.194
We had equipment that was ten years old.
00:09:18.260 --> 00:09:21.631
Was ten years old. every camera.
00:09:21.697 --> 00:09:23.232
Every camera. and there was duct tape
00:09:23.299 --> 00:09:26.002
And there was duct tape everywhere i looked.
00:09:26.068 --> 00:09:27.103
Everywhere i looked. they didn't know i --
00:09:27.169 --> 00:09:28.638
They didn't know i -- you know,
00:09:28.704 --> 00:09:29.338
You know, we were just getting ready
00:09:29.405 --> 00:09:29.972
We were just getting ready to turn the cameras on,
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:30.873
To turn the cameras on, and i was going to do
00:09:30.940 --> 00:09:31.707
And i was going to do some in and outs
00:09:31.774 --> 00:09:32.408
Some in and outs for some tv shows.
00:09:32.475 --> 00:09:34.176
For some tv shows. and i'm sitting there,
00:09:34.243 --> 00:09:34.777
And i'm sitting there, and i look,
00:09:34.844 --> 00:09:35.611
And i look, and i see duct tape on
00:09:35.678 --> 00:09:37.413
And i see duct tape on this camera,
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.648
This camera, i see duct tape on that cable,
00:09:38.714 --> 00:09:40.249
I see duct tape on that cable, i see duct tape
00:09:40.316 --> 00:09:41.183
I see duct tape on that machine,
00:09:41.250 --> 00:09:42.251
On that machine, i see duct tape on
00:09:42.318 --> 00:09:43.452
I see duct tape on a tripod holding the camera.
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.388
A tripod holding the camera. and then i looked and the tv
00:09:45.454 --> 00:09:47.990
And then i looked and the tv director guy,
00:09:48.057 --> 00:09:49.558
Director guy, the guy who did everything,
00:09:49.625 --> 00:09:50.526
The guy who did everything, 'cause he had to do everything.
00:09:50.593 --> 00:09:51.694
'cause he had to do everything. we didn't have much of a staff.
00:09:51.761 --> 00:09:52.595
We didn't have much of a staff. we had a lot of volunteers.
00:09:52.662 --> 00:09:53.996
We had a lot of volunteers. and he had a big roll of duct
00:09:54.063 --> 00:09:57.933
And he had a big roll of duct tape on his belt that he
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.403
Tape on his belt that he had clicked on to his belt.
00:10:00.469 --> 00:10:04.507
Had clicked on to his belt. and it felt like i heard
00:10:04.573 --> 00:10:06.509
And it felt like i heard the lord say,
00:10:06.575 --> 00:10:09.078
The lord say, "do you know what kind
00:10:09.145 --> 00:10:09.745
"do you know what kind of faith you have?
00:10:09.812 --> 00:10:13.482
Of faith you have? you have duct tape faith."
00:10:13.549 --> 00:10:14.950
[laughter]
00:10:15.384 --> 00:10:17.219
That's why you see
00:10:17.653 --> 00:10:18.688
That's why you see some duct tape here,
00:10:18.754 --> 00:10:20.489
Some duct tape here, and duct tape there,
00:10:20.556 --> 00:10:21.624
And duct tape there, duct tape everywhere.
00:10:21.691 --> 00:10:22.658
Duct tape everywhere. i felt like old macdonald.
00:10:22.725 --> 00:10:24.393
I felt like old macdonald. duct tape was all
00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:26.095
Duct tape was all over the place.
00:10:26.162 --> 00:10:29.965
Over the place. and it just hit
00:10:30.032 --> 00:10:31.701
And it just hit me wrong that day.
00:10:31.767 --> 00:10:34.437
Me wrong that day. and the lord, kinda,
00:10:34.503 --> 00:10:35.137
And the lord, kinda, impressed me.
00:10:35.204 --> 00:10:37.773
Impressed me. "you know,
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:38.607
"you know, you don't even see anything
00:10:38.674 --> 00:10:41.410
You don't even see anything beyond this because you
00:10:41.477 --> 00:10:43.145
Beyond this because you think that i can't
00:10:43.212 --> 00:10:45.381
Think that i can't do it all now."
00:10:45.448 --> 00:10:46.582
Do it all now." i said --
00:10:46.649 --> 00:10:47.083
I said -- now, i'm reminding god,
00:10:47.149 --> 00:10:48.584
Now, i'm reminding god, "i'm in a building program
00:10:48.651 --> 00:10:49.819
"i'm in a building program trying to obey you."
00:10:49.885 --> 00:10:52.354
Trying to obey you." you know,
00:10:52.421 --> 00:10:52.788
You know, like when you have a need,
00:10:52.855 --> 00:10:53.622
Like when you have a need, i'm trying
00:10:53.689 --> 00:10:54.356
I'm trying to preach to you.
00:10:54.423 --> 00:10:54.924
To preach to you. i'm telling you,
00:10:54.990 --> 00:10:56.125
I'm telling you, the lord wanted us to spread
00:10:56.192 --> 00:10:57.827
The lord wanted us to spread abroad to the nations
00:10:57.893 --> 00:10:59.095
Abroad to the nations of the world,
00:10:59.161 --> 00:11:00.029
Of the world, but the enemy came
00:11:00.096 --> 00:11:01.097
But the enemy came with a spirit of lack,
00:11:01.163 --> 00:11:02.498
With a spirit of lack, and something hit me,
00:11:02.565 --> 00:11:04.200
And something hit me, and i prayed about
00:11:04.266 --> 00:11:04.767
And i prayed about it for several days.
00:11:04.834 --> 00:11:06.268
It for several days. and the lord laid on my heart
00:11:06.335 --> 00:11:07.770
And the lord laid on my heart a message,
00:11:07.837 --> 00:11:08.738
A message, and i told the director,
00:11:08.804 --> 00:11:09.972
And i told the director, i said, "we're not
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:10.873
I said, "we're not going in the studio.
00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:12.241
Going in the studio. we're going over."
00:11:12.308 --> 00:11:13.042
We're going over." and i got,
00:11:13.109 --> 00:11:13.843
And i got, right in this area,
00:11:13.909 --> 00:11:15.511
Right in this area, right here that i'm
00:11:15.578 --> 00:11:16.545
Right here that i'm preaching to,
00:11:16.612 --> 00:11:17.613
Preaching to, all you folks in
00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:18.681
All you folks in this main area right here,
00:11:18.748 --> 00:11:20.683
This main area right here, about where the break
00:11:20.750 --> 00:11:22.184
About where the break is back there,
00:11:22.251 --> 00:11:22.885
Is back there, maybe a little bit down,
00:11:22.952 --> 00:11:25.187
Maybe a little bit down, there were no seats,
00:11:25.254 --> 00:11:26.589
There were no seats, there was no carpet,
00:11:26.655 --> 00:11:28.224
There was no carpet, there was nothing but
00:11:28.290 --> 00:11:29.225
There was nothing but a cement floor
00:11:29.291 --> 00:11:30.860
A cement floor and these big walls.
00:11:30.926 --> 00:11:33.095
And these big walls. no windows, anything.
00:11:33.162 --> 00:11:34.730
No windows, anything. and i told him to set
00:11:34.797 --> 00:11:35.998
And i told him to set up those two,
00:11:36.065 --> 00:11:36.999
Up those two, and he had extra tape that day.
00:11:37.066 --> 00:11:38.801
And he had extra tape that day. "set up those two."
00:11:38.868 --> 00:11:40.035
"set up those two." and we filmed a message,
00:11:40.102 --> 00:11:43.339
And we filmed a message, and i told the people.
00:11:43.405 --> 00:11:44.607
And i told the people. i said, "i don't know
00:11:44.673 --> 00:11:45.574
I said, "i don't know what else to do.
00:11:45.641 --> 00:11:47.009
What else to do. we're in a major
00:11:47.076 --> 00:11:48.277
We're in a major building program,
00:11:48.344 --> 00:11:49.378
Building program, our television ministry
00:11:49.445 --> 00:11:51.080
Our television ministry is not doing what we need to do,
00:11:51.147 --> 00:11:54.216
Is not doing what we need to do, and i don't have
00:11:54.283 --> 00:11:55.317
And i don't have the money to pay.
00:11:55.384 --> 00:11:56.218
The money to pay. and i'm not a beggar.
00:11:56.285 --> 00:11:57.753
And i'm not a beggar. i'm not gonna beg.
00:11:57.820 --> 00:11:59.054
I'm not gonna beg. i won't be on tv.
00:11:59.121 --> 00:12:00.756
I won't be on tv. and i can't promise
00:12:00.823 --> 00:12:01.390
And i can't promise you a cadillac
00:12:01.457 --> 00:12:02.792
You a cadillac if you give
00:12:02.858 --> 00:12:03.492
If you give to this ministry either."
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.661
To this ministry either." but i said,
00:12:05.728 --> 00:12:06.862
But i said, "if god speaks to you and you
00:12:06.929 --> 00:12:09.098
"if god speaks to you and you believe that we should be on tv,
00:12:09.165 --> 00:12:13.002
Believe that we should be on tv, i need your help.
00:12:13.068 --> 00:12:14.236
I need your help. help."
00:12:14.303 --> 00:12:15.371
Help." that's all i said.
00:12:15.437 --> 00:12:17.406
That's all i said. and do you know,
00:12:17.473 --> 00:12:18.107
And do you know, in 30 days,
00:12:18.174 --> 00:12:19.775
In 30 days, we received --
00:12:19.842 --> 00:12:20.910
We received -- we had never had anything
00:12:20.976 --> 00:12:22.111
We had never had anything like this happen,
00:12:22.178 --> 00:12:23.145
Like this happen, 1.3 million dollars.
00:12:23.212 --> 00:12:27.049
1.3 million dollars. and we bought the cameras
00:12:27.116 --> 00:12:28.484
And we bought the cameras that we needed.
00:12:28.551 --> 00:12:29.351
[applause]
00:12:29.785 --> 00:12:32.188
And i heard the lord,
00:12:32.321 --> 00:12:33.189
And i heard the lord, and i looked in that camera,
00:12:33.255 --> 00:12:34.490
And i looked in that camera, and i said,
00:12:34.557 --> 00:12:35.124
And i said, "god told me that
00:12:35.191 --> 00:12:36.759
"god told me that he was gonna take the duct
00:12:36.826 --> 00:12:38.260
He was gonna take the duct tape off of this ministry."
00:12:38.327 --> 00:12:41.063
Tape off of this ministry." and i wanna tell you,
00:12:41.130 --> 00:12:42.064
And i wanna tell you, he did that day.
00:12:42.131 --> 00:12:43.332
He did that day. and he has never --
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.301
And he has never -- it has never come
00:12:45.367 --> 00:12:46.335
It has never come back on us for the glory
00:12:46.402 --> 00:12:47.436
Back on us for the glory of god.
00:12:47.503 --> 00:12:48.971
Of god. i'm glad that we
00:12:49.038 --> 00:12:50.406
I'm glad that we kept spreading abroad.
00:12:50.472 --> 00:12:52.107
Kept spreading abroad. come on, somebody.
00:12:52.174 --> 00:12:53.642
Come on, somebody. i'm glad we didn't give up.
00:12:53.709 --> 00:12:55.945
I'm glad we didn't give up. i'm glad that right when
00:12:56.011 --> 00:12:57.446
I'm glad that right when i didn't have enough,
00:12:57.513 --> 00:12:59.048
I didn't have enough, god had more than enough.
00:12:59.114 --> 00:13:01.450
God had more than enough. and he's telling some of you,
00:13:01.517 --> 00:13:03.085
And he's telling some of you, "don't you let the spirit
00:13:03.152 --> 00:13:04.453
"don't you let the spirit of lack make
00:13:04.520 --> 00:13:06.155
Of lack make you put your head down."
00:13:06.222 --> 00:13:07.223
You put your head down." if god's giving you
00:13:07.289 --> 00:13:08.591
If god's giving you a vision to spread out,
00:13:08.657 --> 00:13:11.093
A vision to spread out, and to increase and enlarge,
00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:13.195
And to increase and enlarge, you need to say,
00:13:13.262 --> 00:13:14.663
You need to say, "the lord is my shepherd,
00:13:14.730 --> 00:13:16.131
"the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want."
00:13:16.198 --> 00:13:18.968
I shall not want." i'm not telling you
00:13:19.034 --> 00:13:19.969
I'm not telling you something i read
00:13:20.035 --> 00:13:20.836
Something i read in a book.
00:13:20.903 --> 00:13:21.670
In a book. you're sitting in a miracle.
00:13:21.737 --> 00:13:23.405
You're sitting in a miracle. this is a story to you,
00:13:23.472 --> 00:13:24.640
This is a story to you, it's a miracle to me
00:13:24.707 --> 00:13:26.408
It's a miracle to me because i watched god
00:13:26.475 --> 00:13:28.177
Because i watched god break duct tape.
00:13:28.244 --> 00:13:32.114
Break duct tape. and you know, the second horn
00:13:32.181 --> 00:13:37.119
And you know, the second horn that we encountered was what i'm
00:13:37.186 --> 00:13:39.989
That we encountered was what i'm gonna call the spirit
00:13:40.055 --> 00:13:41.090
Gonna call the spirit of limitation.
00:13:41.156 --> 00:13:43.626
Of limitation. if the spirit of lack
00:13:43.692 --> 00:13:44.827
If the spirit of lack can't stop you,
00:13:44.894 --> 00:13:46.228
Can't stop you, gotta push on
00:13:46.295 --> 00:13:47.062
Gotta push on through that one.
00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:48.697
Through that one. keep believing god,
00:13:48.764 --> 00:13:50.232
Keep believing god, and work hard,
00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:52.902
And work hard, and pray for wisdom.
00:13:52.968 --> 00:13:56.438
And pray for wisdom. but the second thing that we had
00:13:56.505 --> 00:13:58.173
But the second thing that we had to break through was
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.375
To break through was the spirit of limitation.
00:13:59.441 --> 00:14:01.610
The spirit of limitation. the spirit of limitation says,
00:14:01.677 --> 00:14:02.878
The spirit of limitation says, "i know god can supply the need,
00:14:02.945 --> 00:14:05.047
"i know god can supply the need, but he won't do it for me."
00:14:05.114 --> 00:14:06.615
But he won't do it for me." he'll do it for others,
00:14:06.682 --> 00:14:07.716
He'll do it for others, but he won't bless me.
00:14:07.783 --> 00:14:10.920
But he won't bless me. the spirit of limitation
00:14:10.986 --> 00:14:12.288
The spirit of limitation puts a ceiling on your life.
00:14:12.354 --> 00:14:15.891
Puts a ceiling on your life. you can go this far
00:14:15.958 --> 00:14:17.092
You can go this far but you can't go any further.
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:20.763
But you can't go any further. and i heard a story one time
00:14:20.829 --> 00:14:22.932
And i heard a story one time and saw a program
00:14:22.998 --> 00:14:24.199
And saw a program one time about an
00:14:24.266 --> 00:14:26.635
One time about an elephant trainer.
00:14:26.702 --> 00:14:29.071
Elephant trainer. and he had this huge bull male
00:14:29.138 --> 00:14:33.208
And he had this huge bull male elephant with large husks,
00:14:33.275 --> 00:14:36.378
Elephant with large husks, mighty and strong.
00:14:36.445 --> 00:14:38.614
Mighty and strong. and he had a rope,
00:14:38.681 --> 00:14:39.381
And he had a rope, just a rope around
00:14:39.448 --> 00:14:41.116
Just a rope around its massive leg.
00:14:41.183 --> 00:14:43.419
Its massive leg. and the rope was tied
00:14:43.485 --> 00:14:45.387
And the rope was tied to a cement block
00:14:45.454 --> 00:14:47.256
To a cement block that was about from here
00:14:47.323 --> 00:14:48.724
That was about from here to that piano over there.
00:14:48.791 --> 00:14:51.327
To that piano over there. and he said,
00:14:51.393 --> 00:14:51.994
And he said, "this trained animal,
00:14:52.061 --> 00:14:54.763
"this trained animal, this massive, strong,
00:14:54.830 --> 00:14:56.098
This massive, strong, powerful elephant will only walk
00:14:56.165 --> 00:14:59.702
Powerful elephant will only walk this far,
00:14:59.768 --> 00:15:00.402
This far, and the moment he feels
00:15:00.469 --> 00:15:01.971
And the moment he feels the tug on his leg
00:15:02.037 --> 00:15:03.772
The tug on his leg of that rope,"
00:15:03.839 --> 00:15:04.840
Of that rope," he could break that rope
00:15:04.907 --> 00:15:06.175
He could break that rope any time he wanted to.
00:15:06.241 --> 00:15:08.110
Any time he wanted to. and he said,
00:15:08.177 --> 00:15:08.577
And he said, "there came a moment
00:15:08.644 --> 00:15:09.945
"there came a moment where mentally,
00:15:10.012 --> 00:15:11.246
Where mentally, that elephant accepted,
00:15:11.313 --> 00:15:13.515
That elephant accepted, 'this is the limit.
00:15:13.582 --> 00:15:15.517
'this is the limit. i'll never go any further than
00:15:15.584 --> 00:15:17.853
I'll never go any further than where i am right now.
00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:21.490
Where i am right now. and that is exactly --
00:15:21.557 --> 00:15:23.592
And that is exactly -- that second horn
00:15:23.659 --> 00:15:24.827
That second horn is a horn of limitation.
00:15:24.893 --> 00:15:28.931
Is a horn of limitation. but every once in a while,
00:15:28.998 --> 00:15:30.599
But every once in a while, you just start accepting
00:15:30.666 --> 00:15:32.501
You just start accepting the limitations on life.
00:15:32.568 --> 00:15:34.737
The limitations on life. you stop --
00:15:34.803 --> 00:15:35.804
You stop -- to start settling.
00:15:35.871 --> 00:15:37.206
To start settling. you start saying,
00:15:37.272 --> 00:15:38.007
You start saying, "well, i've gone this far,
00:15:38.073 --> 00:15:39.541
"well, i've gone this far, and you know i didn't think
00:15:39.608 --> 00:15:40.642
And you know i didn't think i'd get this far so --
00:15:40.709 --> 00:15:41.844
I'd get this far so -- and then now,
00:15:41.910 --> 00:15:42.745
And then now, now, there's a --
00:15:42.811 --> 00:15:43.712
Now, there's a -- you know,
00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:44.513
You know, i don't think i can go.
00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:45.547
I don't think i can go. i don't think i can do that.
00:15:45.614 --> 00:15:46.648
I don't think i can do that. i don't think i'm capable
00:15:46.715 --> 00:15:47.950
I don't think i'm capable of that."
00:15:48.017 --> 00:15:48.851
Of that." but every once in a while,
00:15:48.917 --> 00:15:50.319
But every once in a while, you gotta push
00:15:50.386 --> 00:15:51.253
You gotta push on the limitations.
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.223
On the limitations. faith never settles.
00:15:54.289 --> 00:15:57.393
Faith never settles. god said, "spread abroad,"
00:15:57.459 --> 00:15:59.995
God said, "spread abroad," not "stay where
00:16:00.062 --> 00:16:00.929
Not "stay where you are comfortable
00:16:00.996 --> 00:16:02.431
You are comfortable and safe and sure and secure."
00:16:02.498 --> 00:16:06.935
And safe and sure and secure." so, when i did that,
00:16:07.002 --> 00:16:08.971
So, when i did that, and i pushed on the limitations
00:16:09.038 --> 00:16:10.305
And i pushed on the limitations and i preached that sermon,
00:16:10.372 --> 00:16:13.809
And i preached that sermon, once of the first letters
00:16:13.876 --> 00:16:15.677
Once of the first letters that we got was
00:16:15.744 --> 00:16:16.712
That we got was from a 73-year-old woman
00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:21.683
From a 73-year-old woman who sent a letter,
00:16:21.750 --> 00:16:23.652
Who sent a letter, and she addressed it and said,
00:16:23.719 --> 00:16:26.789
And she addressed it and said, "please get," --
00:16:26.855 --> 00:16:28.157
"please get," -- wrote a little note.
00:16:28.223 --> 00:16:29.425
Wrote a little note. "please tell that preacher
00:16:29.491 --> 00:16:31.860
"please tell that preacher that little preacher,
00:16:31.927 --> 00:16:34.763
That little preacher, that i went and got $1,000 --
00:16:34.830 --> 00:16:38.100
That i went and got $1,000 -- god told me to go
00:16:38.167 --> 00:16:39.868
God told me to go get a $1,000 bill.
00:16:39.935 --> 00:16:43.772
Get a $1,000 bill. and tell him
00:16:43.839 --> 00:16:44.907
And tell him i hope he never uses it.
00:16:44.973 --> 00:16:48.077
I hope he never uses it. i want him to put it on the wall
00:16:48.143 --> 00:16:51.280
I want him to put it on the wall in his office to always remind
00:16:51.346 --> 00:16:54.383
In his office to always remind him that if god tells you
00:16:54.450 --> 00:16:57.119
Him that if god tells you to do something,
00:16:57.186 --> 00:16:58.454
To do something, the resources are
00:16:58.520 --> 00:17:00.322
The resources are already there."
00:17:00.389 --> 00:17:03.725
Already there." this is that $1,000 bill.

And i said i wasn't gon' use him in this service 'cause i didn't

In this service 'cause i didn't think about it when
