I'll begin reading with verse 17.
00:00:37.183 --> 00:00:38.985
"again proclaim, saying,
00:00:39.085 --> 00:00:41.020
'thus says the lord of hosts:
00:00:41.087 --> 00:00:44.157
'my cities shall again spread

Notice that, through prosperity.
00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:00.573
Through prosperity. a bible word.
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.175
A bible word. "the lord will again
00:01:02.242 --> 00:01:03.476
"the lord will again comfort zion,
00:01:03.543 --> 00:01:05.245
Comfort zion, he will again choose jerusalem.'
00:01:05.311 --> 00:01:08.815
He will again choose jerusalem.' then i raised my eyes
00:01:08.882 --> 00:01:10.550
Then i raised my eyes and looked,
00:01:10.617 --> 00:01:11.584
And looked, and there were four horns.
00:01:11.651 --> 00:01:13.987
And there were four horns. and i said to the angel
00:01:14.053 --> 00:01:15.288
And i said to the angel who talked with me,
00:01:15.355 --> 00:01:16.456
Who talked with me, 'what are these?'
00:01:16.523 --> 00:01:17.023
So he answered,
00:01:17.123 --> 00:01:18.424
'these are the horns
00:01:18.491 --> 00:01:20.160
That have scattered judah,
00:01:20.226 --> 00:01:21.828
Israel, and jerusalem.'
00:01:21.895 --> 00:01:25.532
Then the lord showed me
00:01:25.632 --> 00:01:27.400
Then the lord showed me four carpenters --
00:01:27.467 --> 00:01:29.169
Four carpenters -- or craftsmen."
00:01:29.235 --> 00:01:31.671
Or craftsmen." the king james says carpenters.
00:01:31.738 --> 00:01:34.040
The king james says carpenters. "and i said,
00:01:34.107 --> 00:01:35.008
"and i said, 'who are these coming to --
00:01:35.074 --> 00:01:37.110
'who are these coming to -- what are these
00:01:37.177 --> 00:01:38.311
What are these coming to do?'
00:01:38.378 --> 00:01:38.845
Coming to do?' so he said,
00:01:38.912 --> 00:01:39.946
So he said, 'these are the horns
00:01:40.013 --> 00:01:41.281
'these are the horns that scattered judah,
00:01:41.347 --> 00:01:43.483
That scattered judah, so that no one could
00:01:43.550 --> 00:01:45.151
So that no one could lift their head;
00:01:45.218 --> 00:01:47.320
But the craftsmen,"
00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:48.454
Or the carpenters,
00:01:48.521 --> 00:01:49.255
"are coming to terrify them,
00:01:49.322 --> 00:01:51.291
To cast out the horns
00:01:51.357 --> 00:01:52.625
Of the nations that lifted up
00:01:52.692 --> 00:01:54.394
Their horn against the land
00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:56.963
Of judah to scatter it."
00:01:57.030 --> 00:02:00.066
It's really something
00:02:00.166 --> 00:02:01.100
It's really something when you read these verses
00:02:01.167 --> 00:02:02.302
When you read these verses and you see what's happening
00:02:02.368 --> 00:02:03.303
And you see what's happening in israel,
00:02:03.369 --> 00:02:04.404
In israel, even as we're speaking.
00:02:04.470 --> 00:02:06.105
Even as we're speaking. same ancient spirits trying
00:02:06.172 --> 00:02:09.142
Same ancient spirits trying to scatter and destroy.
00:02:09.209 --> 00:02:12.011
To scatter and destroy. but this is one of the powerful
00:02:12.078 --> 00:02:16.115
But this is one of the powerful insights and visions
00:02:16.182 --> 00:02:18.084
Insights and visions that zechariah had,
00:02:18.151 --> 00:02:21.788
That zechariah had, and it starts out as soon
00:02:21.854 --> 00:02:24.224
And it starts out as soon as god spoke prosperity
00:02:24.290 --> 00:02:27.193
As god spoke prosperity over the nation and over
00:02:27.260 --> 00:02:29.529
Over the nation and over the city of jerusalem,
00:02:29.596 --> 00:02:31.664
The city of jerusalem, which is a type
00:02:31.731 --> 00:02:32.632
Which is a type of the church,
00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:33.366
Of the church, and over judah,
00:02:33.433 --> 00:02:35.001
And over judah, which is the righteous seed,
00:02:35.068 --> 00:02:37.203
Which is the righteous seed, a type of the christians,
00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:40.039
A type of the christians, the believer.
00:02:40.106 --> 00:02:41.608
The believer. god spoke prosperity
00:02:41.674 --> 00:02:44.444
God spoke prosperity to the nation,
00:02:44.510 --> 00:02:47.480
To the nation, and as soon as god did that,
00:02:47.547 --> 00:02:49.482
And as soon as god did that, instantly the prophet saw,
00:02:49.549 --> 00:02:52.619
Instantly the prophet saw, in a vision, four horns
00:02:52.685 --> 00:02:54.954
In a vision, four horns of resistance arise.
00:02:55.021 --> 00:02:57.890
Of resistance arise. horns are always symbolic
00:02:57.957 --> 00:02:59.559
Horns are always symbolic of unbridled power.
00:02:59.626 --> 00:03:02.028
Of unbridled power. and in this case,
00:03:02.095 --> 00:03:03.496
And in this case, it's satanic power
00:03:03.563 --> 00:03:04.864
It's satanic power with two objectives,
00:03:04.931 --> 00:03:06.499
With two objectives, number one,
00:03:06.566 --> 00:03:07.066
Number one, to scatter israel,
00:03:07.133 --> 00:03:08.768
To scatter israel, to divide families,
00:03:08.835 --> 00:03:10.403
To divide families, to divide people,
00:03:10.470 --> 00:03:12.872
To divide people, and to decimate.
00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:15.074
And to decimate. and then secondly,
00:03:15.141 --> 00:03:16.175
And then secondly, so that --
00:03:16.242 --> 00:03:17.510
So that -- to so depress,
00:03:17.577 --> 00:03:18.544
To so depress, and discourage,
00:03:18.611 --> 00:03:19.545
And discourage, and defeat
00:03:19.612 --> 00:03:20.880
And defeat that no man could
00:03:20.947 --> 00:03:22.515
That no man could lift up his head.
00:03:22.582 --> 00:03:25.518
Lift up his head. and these four principalities,
00:03:25.585 --> 00:03:27.854
And these four principalities, these four demon spirits
00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:30.790
These four demon spirits assigned to the people of god
00:03:30.857 --> 00:03:34.794
Assigned to the people of god to keep their heads down,
00:03:34.861 --> 00:03:38.298
To keep their heads down, to oppress,
00:03:38.364 --> 00:03:39.299
To oppress, to depress, to defeat,"
00:03:39.365 --> 00:03:41.701
To depress, to defeat," and listen carefully,
00:03:41.768 --> 00:03:43.236
And listen carefully, "to stop
00:03:43.303 --> 00:03:44.504
"to stop from spreading out."
00:03:44.570 --> 00:03:45.738
From spreading out." when i read
00:03:45.805 --> 00:03:46.739
When i read the spreading out part,
00:03:46.806 --> 00:03:48.374
The spreading out part, i thought about going to all
00:03:48.441 --> 00:03:49.876
I thought about going to all the world and preach the gospel.
00:03:49.942 --> 00:03:51.911
The world and preach the gospel. the spreading out.
00:03:51.978 --> 00:03:53.046
The spreading out. and what i'm gonna share
00:03:53.112 --> 00:03:54.314
And what i'm gonna share with you this morning is not
00:03:54.380 --> 00:03:57.617
With you this morning is not something that i read somewhere,
00:03:57.684 --> 00:03:59.619
Something that i read somewhere, i'm sharing this with you
00:03:59.686 --> 00:04:01.354
I'm sharing this with you because it is what i have seen
00:04:01.421 --> 00:04:05.725
Because it is what i have seen god do in this church.
00:04:05.792 --> 00:04:07.694
God do in this church. we had to confront
00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:09.395
We had to confront these four horns
00:04:09.462 --> 00:04:10.496
These four horns that i'm gonna talk about.
00:04:10.563 --> 00:04:11.764
That i'm gonna talk about. and whether you're
00:04:11.831 --> 00:04:12.765
And whether you're building a business,
00:04:12.832 --> 00:04:14.033
Building a business, or building a family,
00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:15.168
Or building a family, or building a career,
00:04:15.234 --> 00:04:16.536
Or building a career, or building a dream,
00:04:16.602 --> 00:04:18.404
Or building a dream, or building a church,
00:04:18.471 --> 00:04:20.640
Or building a church, you will encounter
00:04:20.707 --> 00:04:22.975
You will encounter the resistance,
00:04:23.042 --> 00:04:24.110
The resistance, especially if it's something
00:04:24.177 --> 00:04:25.912
Especially if it's something god has put in your
00:04:25.978 --> 00:04:27.013
God has put in your heart to build.
00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:29.082
Heart to build. and that's why it talks about
00:04:29.148 --> 00:04:30.950
And that's why it talks about the spirit of the carpenter.
00:04:31.017 --> 00:04:32.552
The spirit of the carpenter. four carpenters came
00:04:32.618 --> 00:04:34.153
Four carpenters came to the rescue when
00:04:34.220 --> 00:04:35.588
To the rescue when they were under attack
00:04:35.655 --> 00:04:37.690
They were under attack because the carpenter has
00:04:37.757 --> 00:04:40.526
Because the carpenter has got to come and help.
00:04:40.593 --> 00:04:43.529
Got to come and help. it's a beautiful picture
00:04:43.596 --> 00:04:44.764
It's a beautiful picture of jesus christ.
00:04:44.831 --> 00:04:47.233
Of jesus christ. and the prosperity,
00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:48.634
And the prosperity, the scripture said,
00:04:48.701 --> 00:04:49.902
The scripture said, was given to spread abroad,
00:04:49.969 --> 00:04:52.438
Was given to spread abroad, spread abroad the nations.
00:04:52.505 --> 00:04:54.540
Spread abroad the nations. and let's say spread abroad
00:04:54.607 --> 00:04:56.376
And let's say spread abroad the kingdom of god
00:04:56.442 --> 00:04:57.710
The kingdom of god and the good news
00:04:57.777 --> 00:04:58.344
And the good news of jesus christ.
00:04:58.411 --> 00:04:59.846
Of jesus christ. and when you think
00:04:59.912 --> 00:05:00.546
And when you think of the word prosperity,
00:05:00.613 --> 00:05:02.048
Of the word prosperity, don't just think of money.
00:05:02.115 --> 00:05:04.183
Don't just think of money. but i want you to think
00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:05.084
But i want you to think of a prosperous marriage,
00:05:05.151 --> 00:05:07.019
Of a prosperous marriage, a prosperous career,
00:05:07.086 --> 00:05:08.554
A prosperous career, a prosperous family,
00:05:08.621 --> 00:05:10.490
A prosperous family, prosperous work,
00:05:10.556 --> 00:05:11.858
Prosperous work, and dreams.
00:05:11.924 --> 00:05:14.260
And dreams. god wants his people
00:05:14.327 --> 00:05:16.295
God wants his people to be productive and fruitful.
00:05:16.362 --> 00:05:19.031
To be productive and fruitful. and he said,
00:05:19.098 --> 00:05:19.832
And he said, "i've decreed prosperity,
00:05:19.899 --> 00:05:21.768
"i've decreed prosperity, a breaking forth,
00:05:21.834 --> 00:05:23.369
A breaking forth, a spreading out,
00:05:23.436 --> 00:05:25.204
A spreading out, a breakthrough,
00:05:25.271 --> 00:05:25.938
A breakthrough, a spreading abroad
00:05:26.005 --> 00:05:27.774
A spreading abroad to do more,
00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:28.674
To do more, to grow more,
00:05:28.741 --> 00:05:29.809
To grow more, to expand more."
00:05:29.876 --> 00:05:32.078
To expand more." and jesus,
00:05:32.145 --> 00:05:32.845
And jesus, the son of the carpenter,
00:05:32.912 --> 00:05:35.982
The son of the carpenter, is part of that under
00:05:36.048 --> 00:05:37.683
Is part of that under the new covenant.
00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:39.185
The new covenant. and i believe the four horns are
00:05:39.252 --> 00:05:41.120
And i believe the four horns are the four gospels:
00:05:41.187 --> 00:05:42.121
The four gospels: matthew, mark, luke, and john.
00:05:42.188 --> 00:05:45.024
Matthew, mark, luke, and john. and i'm sending today,
00:05:45.091 --> 00:05:47.527
And i'm sending today, and i'm coming today
00:05:47.593 --> 00:05:49.162
And i'm coming today in the spirit of the carpenter
00:05:49.228 --> 00:05:50.396
In the spirit of the carpenter to talk to you
00:05:50.463 --> 00:05:51.264
To talk to you from my heart.
00:05:51.330 --> 00:05:53.332
From my heart. just when the horns
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.101
Just when the horns were pressing them down,
00:05:55.168 --> 00:05:56.969
Were pressing them down, jesus christ and
00:05:57.036 --> 00:05:58.304
Jesus christ and the spirit of the carpenters
00:05:58.371 --> 00:06:00.239
The spirit of the carpenters showed up to rebuild the nation,
00:06:00.306 --> 00:06:03.142
Showed up to rebuild the nation, rebuild the homes
00:06:03.209 --> 00:06:04.811
Rebuild the homes and the families,
00:06:04.877 --> 00:06:05.578
And the families, rebuild what was once
00:06:05.645 --> 00:06:07.346
Rebuild what was once great that had been demolished.
00:06:07.413 --> 00:06:11.284
Great that had been demolished. the first horn i wanna liken
00:06:11.350 --> 00:06:12.919
The first horn i wanna liken and call the spirit of lack.
00:06:12.985 --> 00:06:15.955
And call the spirit of lack. because if you're gonna
00:06:16.022 --> 00:06:17.223
Because if you're gonna build something,
00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:18.658
Build something, sooner or later you will
00:06:18.724 --> 00:06:19.525
Sooner or later you will come in conflict
00:06:19.592 --> 00:06:21.928
Come in conflict with the spirit of lack.
00:06:21.994 --> 00:06:24.564
With the spirit of lack. we have to do our work,
00:06:24.630 --> 00:06:25.698
We have to do our work, we have to do our part,
00:06:25.765 --> 00:06:27.733
We have to do our part, we have to be excellent
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.035
We have to be excellent at what we do.
00:06:29.101 --> 00:06:30.169
At what we do. but as soon as you start to lift
00:06:30.236 --> 00:06:31.938
But as soon as you start to lift up your head,
00:06:32.004 --> 00:06:33.105
Up your head, and god gives you a vision.
00:06:33.172 --> 00:06:34.674
And god gives you a vision. i know it happened to me
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:36.175
I know it happened to me when i came here,
00:06:36.242 --> 00:06:37.610
When i came here, and cherise when
00:06:37.677 --> 00:06:38.578
And cherise when we came here.
00:06:38.644 --> 00:06:39.412
We came here. i was 28 years old when i became
00:06:39.479 --> 00:06:41.981
I was 28 years old when i became pastor of this church,
00:06:42.048 --> 00:06:43.182
Pastor of this church, and cherise is
00:06:43.249 --> 00:06:44.217
And cherise is seven years younger than me.
00:06:44.283 --> 00:06:45.952
Seven years younger than me. and we were really kids.
00:06:46.018 --> 00:06:47.520
And we were really kids. we did not know what
00:06:47.587 --> 00:06:48.921
We did not know what we were doing.
00:06:48.988 --> 00:06:50.022
We were doing. we just had a vision,
00:06:50.089 --> 00:06:51.090
We just had a vision, we just had a dream
00:06:51.157 --> 00:06:52.425
We just had a dream for this church
00:06:52.492 --> 00:06:53.359
For this church called free chapel.
00:06:53.426 --> 00:06:55.194
Called free chapel. it felt right,
00:06:55.261 --> 00:06:56.362
It felt right, it lived up to its name,
00:06:56.429 --> 00:06:57.697
It lived up to its name, it felt free.
00:06:57.763 --> 00:06:59.332
It felt free. and it felt like something,
00:06:59.398 --> 00:07:00.967
And it felt like something, god had a special
00:07:01.033 --> 00:07:02.201
God had a special assignment on this place.
00:07:02.268 --> 00:07:04.504
Assignment on this place. and i remember those days,
00:07:04.570 --> 00:07:05.738
And i remember those days, i remember pulling up into
00:07:05.805 --> 00:07:07.006
I remember pulling up into the parking lot
00:07:07.073 --> 00:07:08.140
The parking lot on browns bridge road
00:07:08.207 --> 00:07:09.342
On browns bridge road of that building.
00:07:09.408 --> 00:07:11.177
Of that building. and i also know that as soon
00:07:11.244 --> 00:07:14.247
And i also know that as soon as we started growing,
00:07:14.313 --> 00:07:16.015
As we started growing, the spirit of lack
00:07:16.082 --> 00:07:17.583
The spirit of lack began to challenge the vision
00:07:17.650 --> 00:07:19.352
Began to challenge the vision that god had given me
00:07:19.418 --> 00:07:21.220
That god had given me and the leadership
00:07:21.287 --> 00:07:22.321
And the leadership for this church
00:07:22.388 --> 00:07:24.090
For this church to keep up in the same place,
00:07:24.156 --> 00:07:26.759
To keep up in the same place, to keep us on the same level.
00:07:26.826 --> 00:07:30.129
To keep us on the same level. it can even --
00:07:30.196 --> 00:07:31.063
It can even -- the spirit of lack can
00:07:31.130 --> 00:07:32.265
The spirit of lack can even attach itself to families.
00:07:32.331 --> 00:07:35.001
Even attach itself to families. and for generation
00:07:35.067 --> 00:07:36.168
And for generation after generation,
00:07:36.235 --> 00:07:37.436
After generation, they never break out,
00:07:37.503 --> 00:07:39.238
They never break out, they never get out from under
00:07:39.305 --> 00:07:41.741
They never get out from under the horn that causes
00:07:41.807 --> 00:07:43.442
The horn that causes the family to stay down.
00:07:43.509 --> 00:07:46.112
The family to stay down. and i'll never forget one thing
00:07:46.178 --> 00:07:47.947
And i'll never forget one thing that really happened to me.
00:07:48.014 --> 00:07:49.882
That really happened to me. for ten years,
00:07:49.949 --> 00:07:50.883
For ten years, our television
00:07:50.950 --> 00:07:51.851
Our television ministry struggled,
00:07:51.918 --> 00:07:53.619
Ministry struggled, and for ten years,
00:07:53.686 --> 00:07:54.520
And for ten years, it was in the red,
00:07:54.587 --> 00:07:56.088
It was in the red, and for ten years,
00:07:56.155 --> 00:07:57.690
And for ten years, it bumped along,
00:07:57.757 --> 00:07:59.091
It bumped along, it had downs,
00:07:59.158 --> 00:08:00.526
It had downs, and highs, and lows,
00:08:00.593 --> 00:08:02.495
And highs, and lows, and it was no consistency.
00:08:02.562 --> 00:08:04.063
And it was no consistency. it was always a challenge.
00:08:04.130 --> 00:08:05.731
It was always a challenge. i wanted to quit so many times.
00:08:05.798 --> 00:08:07.800
I wanted to quit so many times. and you know why?
00:08:07.867 --> 00:08:08.367
And you know why? the spirit of lack.
00:08:08.434 --> 00:08:09.702
The spirit of lack. the spirit of lack
00:08:09.769 --> 00:08:10.736
The spirit of lack kept saying, "look.
00:08:10.803 --> 00:08:11.571
Kept saying, "look. look how much --
00:08:11.637 --> 00:08:12.371
Look how much -- look, look.
00:08:12.438 --> 00:08:14.607
Look, look. you're not as -- you're not --
00:08:14.674 --> 00:08:15.808
You're not as -- you're not -- it's not doing anything.
00:08:15.875 --> 00:08:16.909
It's not doing anything. nobody's gonna help you.
00:08:16.976 --> 00:08:18.210
Nobody's gonna help you. you're not gonna
00:08:18.277 --> 00:08:19.145
You're not gonna be able to sustain this."
00:08:19.211 --> 00:08:21.047
Be able to sustain this." and so, we had brought
00:08:21.113 --> 00:08:22.148
And so, we had brought this property that we're on,
00:08:22.214 --> 00:08:23.449
This property that we're on, the 150 acres that
00:08:23.516 --> 00:08:24.850
The 150 acres that we're on now,
00:08:24.917 --> 00:08:26.085
We're on now, and we were building
00:08:26.152 --> 00:08:27.453
And we were building this sanctuary,
00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:29.755
This sanctuary, this building right here.
00:08:29.822 --> 00:08:31.223
This building right here. and the beams were up,
00:08:31.290 --> 00:08:32.725
And the beams were up, and some of the pouring
00:08:32.792 --> 00:08:34.026
And some of the pouring was up,
00:08:34.093 --> 00:08:35.294
Was up, the cement slab --
00:08:35.361 --> 00:08:37.697
The cement slab -- here in gainesville,
00:08:37.763 --> 00:08:38.698
Here in gainesville, for those of you who are
00:08:38.764 --> 00:08:39.465
For those of you who are joining us at all
00:08:39.532 --> 00:08:40.099
Joining us at all of our campuses,
00:08:40.166 --> 00:08:41.334
Of our campuses, the slab was all that
00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:42.602
The slab was all that we had in here.
00:08:42.668 --> 00:08:44.370
We had in here. and i walked into
00:08:44.437 --> 00:08:45.805
And i walked into the other building
00:08:45.871 --> 00:08:46.739
The other building where there's a little studio,
00:08:46.806 --> 00:08:48.441
Where there's a little studio, you could call it a studio,
00:08:48.507 --> 00:08:50.209
You could call it a studio, it's just a room with a high --
00:08:50.276 --> 00:08:52.111
It's just a room with a high -- we didn't have a lot of money
00:08:52.178 --> 00:08:53.946
We didn't have a lot of money to do that when you're
00:08:54.013 --> 00:08:55.514
To do that when you're doing a 24 million dollar
00:08:55.581 --> 00:08:57.383
Doing a 24 million dollar building program right here.
00:08:57.450 --> 00:09:00.386
Building program right here. and we had paid
00:09:00.453 --> 00:09:01.354
And we had paid that building off,
00:09:01.420 --> 00:09:02.254
That building off, and we were wise.
00:09:02.321 --> 00:09:03.089
And we were wise. we knew we could afford it
00:09:03.155 --> 00:09:04.590
We knew we could afford it and had all the financing.
00:09:04.657 --> 00:09:06.158
And had all the financing. but just hear me a minute.
00:09:06.225 --> 00:09:07.660
But just hear me a minute. so, i walked into the studio
00:09:07.727 --> 00:09:11.097
So, i walked into the studio over there,
00:09:11.163 --> 00:09:11.864
Over there, which is a little room.
00:09:11.931 --> 00:09:13.532
Which is a little room. and i sat down,
00:09:13.599 --> 00:09:15.201
And i sat down, and at the time,
00:09:15.267 --> 00:09:16.168
And at the time, we had equipment that
00:09:16.235 --> 00:09:17.303
We had equipment that was ten years old.
00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:20.740
Was ten years old. every camera.
00:09:20.806 --> 00:09:22.341
Every camera. and there was duct tape
00:09:22.408 --> 00:09:25.111
And there was duct tape everywhere i looked.
00:09:25.177 --> 00:09:26.212
Everywhere i looked. they didn't know i --
00:09:26.278 --> 00:09:27.747
They didn't know i -- you know,
00:09:27.813 --> 00:09:28.514
You know, we were just getting ready
00:09:28.581 --> 00:09:29.081
We were just getting ready to turn the cameras on,
00:09:29.148 --> 00:09:29.982
To turn the cameras on, and i was going to do
00:09:30.049 --> 00:09:30.816
And i was going to do some in and outs
00:09:30.883 --> 00:09:31.517
Some in and outs for some tv shows.
00:09:31.584 --> 00:09:33.285
For some tv shows. and i'm sitting there,
00:09:33.352 --> 00:09:33.886
And i'm sitting there, and i look,
00:09:33.953 --> 00:09:34.720
And i look, and i see duct tape on
00:09:34.787 --> 00:09:36.522
And i see duct tape on this camera,
00:09:36.589 --> 00:09:37.757
This camera, i see duct tape on that cable,
00:09:37.823 --> 00:09:39.358
I see duct tape on that cable, i see duct tape
00:09:39.425 --> 00:09:40.292
I see duct tape on that machine,
00:09:40.359 --> 00:09:41.360
On that machine, i see duct tape on
00:09:41.427 --> 00:09:42.561
I see duct tape on a tripod holding the camera.
00:09:42.628 --> 00:09:44.497
A tripod holding the camera. and then i looked and the tv
00:09:44.563 --> 00:09:47.099
And then i looked and the tv director guy,
00:09:47.166 --> 00:09:48.668
Director guy, the guy who did everything,
00:09:48.734 --> 00:09:49.635
The guy who did everything, 'cause he had to do everything.
00:09:49.702 --> 00:09:51.003
'cause he had to do everything. we didn't have much of a staff.
00:09:51.070 --> 00:09:51.704
We didn't have much of a staff. we had a lot of volunteers.
00:09:51.771 --> 00:09:53.105
We had a lot of volunteers. and he had a big roll of duct
00:09:53.172 --> 00:09:57.043
And he had a big roll of duct tape on his belt that he
00:09:57.109 --> 00:09:59.512
Tape on his belt that he had clicked on to his belt.
00:09:59.578 --> 00:10:03.616
Had clicked on to his belt. and it felt like i heard
00:10:03.683 --> 00:10:05.618
And it felt like i heard the lord say,
00:10:05.685 --> 00:10:08.187
The lord say, "do you know what kind
00:10:08.254 --> 00:10:08.854
"do you know what kind of faith you have?
00:10:08.921 --> 00:10:12.591
Of faith you have? you have duct tape faith."
00:10:12.658 --> 00:10:14.060
[laughter]
00:10:14.493 --> 00:10:16.328
That's why you see
00:10:16.762 --> 00:10:17.797
That's why you see some duct tape here,
00:10:17.863 --> 00:10:19.598
Some duct tape here, and duct tape there,
00:10:19.665 --> 00:10:20.733
And duct tape there, duct tape everywhere.
00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:21.767
Duct tape everywhere. i felt like old macdonald.
00:10:21.834 --> 00:10:23.502
I felt like old macdonald. duct tape was all
00:10:23.569 --> 00:10:25.204
Duct tape was all over the place.
00:10:25.271 --> 00:10:29.075
Over the place. and it just hit
00:10:29.141 --> 00:10:30.810
And it just hit me wrong that day.
00:10:30.876 --> 00:10:33.546
Me wrong that day. and the lord, kinda,
00:10:33.612 --> 00:10:34.246
And the lord, kinda, impressed me.
00:10:34.313 --> 00:10:36.882
Impressed me. "you know,
00:10:36.949 --> 00:10:37.717
"you know, you don't even see anything
00:10:37.783 --> 00:10:40.519
You don't even see anything beyond this because you
00:10:40.586 --> 00:10:42.254
Beyond this because you think that i can't
00:10:42.321 --> 00:10:44.490
Think that i can't do it all now."
00:10:44.557 --> 00:10:45.691
Do it all now." i said --
00:10:45.758 --> 00:10:46.192
I said -- now, i'm reminding god,
00:10:46.258 --> 00:10:47.693
Now, i'm reminding god, "i'm in a building program
00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:48.928
"i'm in a building program trying to obey you."
00:10:48.994 --> 00:10:51.464
Trying to obey you." you know,
00:10:51.530 --> 00:10:51.897
You know, like when you have a need,
00:10:51.964 --> 00:10:52.732
Like when you have a need, i'm trying
00:10:52.798 --> 00:10:53.466
I'm trying to preach to you.
00:10:53.532 --> 00:10:54.033
To preach to you. i'm telling you,
00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:55.234
I'm telling you, the lord wanted us to spread
00:10:55.301 --> 00:10:56.936
The lord wanted us to spread abroad to the nations
00:10:57.002 --> 00:10:58.204
Abroad to the nations of the world,
00:10:58.270 --> 00:10:59.138
Of the world, but the enemy came
00:10:59.205 --> 00:11:00.206
But the enemy came with a spirit of lack,
00:11:00.272 --> 00:11:01.607
With a spirit of lack, and something hit me,
00:11:01.674 --> 00:11:03.309
And something hit me, and i prayed about
00:11:03.375 --> 00:11:03.876
And i prayed about it for several days.
00:11:03.943 --> 00:11:05.377
It for several days. and the lord laid on my heart
00:11:05.444 --> 00:11:06.879
And the lord laid on my heart a message,
00:11:06.946 --> 00:11:07.847
A message, and i told the director,
00:11:07.913 --> 00:11:09.081
And i told the director, i said, "we're not
00:11:09.148 --> 00:11:09.982
I said, "we're not going in the studio.
00:11:10.049 --> 00:11:11.350
Going in the studio. we're going over."
00:11:11.417 --> 00:11:12.151
We're going over." and i got,
00:11:12.218 --> 00:11:12.952
And i got, right in this area,
00:11:13.018 --> 00:11:14.620
Right in this area, right here that i'm
00:11:14.687 --> 00:11:15.654
Right here that i'm preaching to,
00:11:15.721 --> 00:11:16.722
Preaching to, all you folks in
00:11:16.789 --> 00:11:17.790
All you folks in this main area right here,
00:11:17.857 --> 00:11:19.792
This main area right here, about where the break
00:11:19.859 --> 00:11:21.293
About where the break is back there,
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:21.994
Is back there, maybe a little bit down,
00:11:22.061 --> 00:11:24.296
Maybe a little bit down, there were no seats,
00:11:24.363 --> 00:11:25.698
There were no seats, there was no carpet,
00:11:25.765 --> 00:11:27.333
There was no carpet, there was nothing but
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:28.334
There was nothing but a cement floor
00:11:28.400 --> 00:11:29.969
A cement floor and these big walls.
00:11:30.035 --> 00:11:32.204
And these big walls. no windows, anything.
00:11:32.271 --> 00:11:33.839
No windows, anything. and i told him to set
00:11:33.906 --> 00:11:35.107
And i told him to set up those two,
00:11:35.174 --> 00:11:36.108
Up those two, and he had extra tape that day.
00:11:36.175 --> 00:11:37.910
And he had extra tape that day. "set up those two."
00:11:37.977 --> 00:11:39.145
"set up those two." and we filmed a message,
00:11:39.211 --> 00:11:42.448
And we filmed a message, and i told the people.
00:11:42.515 --> 00:11:43.716
And i told the people. i said, "i don't know
00:11:43.783 --> 00:11:44.683
I said, "i don't know what else to do.
00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:46.118
What else to do. we're in a major
00:11:46.185 --> 00:11:47.386
We're in a major building program,
00:11:47.453 --> 00:11:48.487
Building program, our television ministry
00:11:48.554 --> 00:11:50.189
Our television ministry is not doing what we need to do,
00:11:50.256 --> 00:11:53.325
Is not doing what we need to do, and i don't have
00:11:53.392 --> 00:11:54.426
And i don't have the money to pay.
00:11:54.493 --> 00:11:55.327
The money to pay. and i'm not a beggar.
00:11:55.394 --> 00:11:56.862
And i'm not a beggar. i'm not gonna beg.
00:11:56.929 --> 00:11:58.164
I'm not gonna beg. i won't be on tv.
00:11:58.230 --> 00:11:59.865
I won't be on tv. and i can't promise
00:11:59.932 --> 00:12:00.499
And i can't promise you a cadillac
00:12:00.566 --> 00:12:01.901
You a cadillac if you give
00:12:01.967 --> 00:12:02.601
If you give to this ministry either."
00:12:02.668 --> 00:12:04.770
To this ministry either." but i said,
00:12:04.837 --> 00:12:05.971
But i said, "if god speaks to you and you
00:12:06.038 --> 00:12:08.207
"if god speaks to you and you believe that we should be on tv,
00:12:08.274 --> 00:12:12.111
Believe that we should be on tv, i need your help.
00:12:12.178 --> 00:12:13.345
I need your help. help."
00:12:13.412 --> 00:12:14.480
Help." that's all i said.
00:12:14.547 --> 00:12:16.515
That's all i said. and do you know,
00:12:16.582 --> 00:12:17.216
And do you know, in 30 days,
00:12:17.283 --> 00:12:18.884
In 30 days, we received --
00:12:18.951 --> 00:12:20.019
We received -- we had never had anything
00:12:20.085 --> 00:12:21.220
We had never had anything like this happen,
00:12:21.287 --> 00:12:22.254
Like this happen, 1.3 million dollars.
00:12:22.321 --> 00:12:26.158
1.3 million dollars. and we bought the cameras
00:12:26.225 --> 00:12:27.593
And we bought the cameras that we needed.
00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:28.460
[applause]
00:12:28.894 --> 00:12:31.297
And i heard the lord,
00:12:31.430 --> 00:12:32.298
And i heard the lord, and i looked in that camera,
00:12:32.364 --> 00:12:33.599
And i looked in that camera, and i said,
00:12:33.666 --> 00:12:34.233
And i said, "god told me that
00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:35.868
"god told me that he was gonna take the duct
00:12:35.935 --> 00:12:37.369
He was gonna take the duct tape off of this ministry."
00:12:37.436 --> 00:12:40.172
Tape off of this ministry." and i wanna tell you,
00:12:40.239 --> 00:12:41.173
And i wanna tell you, he did that day.
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:42.441
He did that day. and he has never --
00:12:42.508 --> 00:12:44.410
And he has never -- it has never come
00:12:44.476 --> 00:12:45.444
It has never come back on us for the glory
00:12:45.511 --> 00:12:46.545
Back on us for the glory of god.
00:12:46.612 --> 00:12:48.080
Of god. i'm glad that we
00:12:48.147 --> 00:12:49.515
I'm glad that we kept spreading abroad.
00:12:49.582 --> 00:12:51.217
Kept spreading abroad. come on, somebody.
00:12:51.283 --> 00:12:52.751
Come on, somebody. i'm glad we didn't give up.
00:12:52.818 --> 00:12:55.054
I'm glad we didn't give up. i'm glad that right when
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.555
I'm glad that right when i didn't have enough,
00:12:56.622 --> 00:12:58.157
I didn't have enough, god had more than enough.
00:12:58.224 --> 00:13:00.559
God had more than enough. and he's telling some of you,
00:13:00.626 --> 00:13:02.194
And he's telling some of you, "don't you let the spirit
00:13:02.261 --> 00:13:03.562
"don't you let the spirit of lack make
00:13:03.629 --> 00:13:05.264
Of lack make you put your head down."
00:13:05.331 --> 00:13:06.332
You put your head down." if god's giving you
00:13:06.398 --> 00:13:07.700
If god's giving you a vision to spread out,
00:13:07.766 --> 00:13:10.202
A vision to spread out, and to increase and enlarge,
00:13:10.269 --> 00:13:12.304
And to increase and enlarge, you need to say,
00:13:12.371 --> 00:13:13.772
You need to say, "the lord is my shepherd,
00:13:13.839 --> 00:13:15.241
"the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want."
00:13:15.307 --> 00:13:18.077
I shall not want." i'm not telling you
00:13:18.143 --> 00:13:19.078
I'm not telling you something i read
00:13:19.144 --> 00:13:19.945
Something i read in a book.
00:13:20.012 --> 00:13:20.779
In a book. you're sitting in a miracle.
00:13:20.846 --> 00:13:22.514
You're sitting in a miracle. this is a story to you,
00:13:22.581 --> 00:13:23.749
This is a story to you, it's a miracle to me
00:13:23.816 --> 00:13:25.517
It's a miracle to me because i watched god
00:13:25.584 --> 00:13:27.286
Because i watched god break duct tape.
00:13:27.353 --> 00:13:31.223
Break duct tape. and you know, the second horn
00:13:31.290 --> 00:13:36.228
And you know, the second horn that we encountered was what i'm
00:13:36.295 --> 00:13:39.098
That we encountered was what i'm gonna call the spirit
00:13:39.164 --> 00:13:40.199
Gonna call the spirit of limitation.
00:13:40.266 --> 00:13:42.735
Of limitation. if the spirit of lack
00:13:42.801 --> 00:13:43.936
If the spirit of lack can't stop you,
00:13:44.003 --> 00:13:45.337
Can't stop you, gotta push on
00:13:45.404 --> 00:13:46.171
Gotta push on through that one.
00:13:46.238 --> 00:13:47.806
Through that one. keep believing god,
00:13:47.873 --> 00:13:49.341
Keep believing god, and work hard,
00:13:49.408 --> 00:13:52.011
And work hard, and pray for wisdom.
00:13:52.077 --> 00:13:55.547
And pray for wisdom. but the second thing that we had
00:13:55.614 --> 00:13:57.283
But the second thing that we had to break through was
00:13:57.349 --> 00:13:58.484
To break through was the spirit of limitation.
00:13:58.550 --> 00:14:00.719
The spirit of limitation. the spirit of limitation says,
00:14:00.786 --> 00:14:01.987
The spirit of limitation says, "i know god can supply the need,
00:14:02.054 --> 00:14:04.156
"i know god can supply the need, but he won't do it for me."
00:14:04.223 --> 00:14:05.724
But he won't do it for me." he'll do it for others,
00:14:05.791 --> 00:14:06.825
He'll do it for others, but he won't bless me.
00:14:06.892 --> 00:14:10.029
But he won't bless me. the spirit of limitation
00:14:10.095 --> 00:14:11.397
The spirit of limitation puts a ceiling on your life.
00:14:11.463 --> 00:14:15.000
Puts a ceiling on your life. you can go this far
00:14:15.067 --> 00:14:16.201
You can go this far but you can't go any further.
00:14:16.268 --> 00:14:19.872
But you can't go any further. and i heard a story one time
00:14:19.939 --> 00:14:22.041
And i heard a story one time and saw a program
00:14:22.107 --> 00:14:23.309
And saw a program one time about an
00:14:23.375 --> 00:14:25.744
One time about an elephant trainer.
00:14:25.811 --> 00:14:28.180
Elephant trainer. and he had this huge bull male
00:14:28.247 --> 00:14:32.318
And he had this huge bull male elephant with large husks,
00:14:32.384 --> 00:14:35.487
Elephant with large husks, mighty and strong.
00:14:35.554 --> 00:14:37.723
Mighty and strong. and he had a rope,
00:14:37.790 --> 00:14:38.490
And he had a rope, just a rope around
00:14:38.557 --> 00:14:40.225
Just a rope around its massive leg.
00:14:40.292 --> 00:14:42.528
Its massive leg. and the rope was tied
00:14:42.594 --> 00:14:44.496
And the rope was tied to a cement block
00:14:44.563 --> 00:14:46.365
To a cement block that was about from here
00:14:46.432 --> 00:14:47.833
That was about from here to that piano over there.
00:14:47.900 --> 00:14:50.436
To that piano over there. and he said,
00:14:50.502 --> 00:14:51.103
And he said, "this trained animal,
00:14:51.170 --> 00:14:53.872
"this trained animal, this massive, strong,
00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:55.207
This massive, strong, powerful elephant will only walk
00:14:55.274 --> 00:14:58.811
Powerful elephant will only walk this far,
00:14:58.877 --> 00:14:59.511
This far, and the moment he feels
00:14:59.578 --> 00:15:01.080
And the moment he feels the tug on his leg
00:15:01.146 --> 00:15:02.881
The tug on his leg of that rope,"
00:15:02.948 --> 00:15:03.949
Of that rope," he could break that rope
00:15:04.016 --> 00:15:05.284
He could break that rope any time he wanted to.
00:15:05.351 --> 00:15:07.219
Any time he wanted to. and he said,
00:15:07.286 --> 00:15:07.686
And he said, "there came a moment
00:15:07.753 --> 00:15:09.054
"there came a moment where mentally,
00:15:09.121 --> 00:15:10.356
Where mentally, that elephant accepted,
00:15:10.422 --> 00:15:12.624
That elephant accepted, 'this is the limit.
00:15:12.691 --> 00:15:14.626
'this is the limit. i'll never go any further than
00:15:14.693 --> 00:15:16.962
I'll never go any further than where i am right now.
00:15:17.029 --> 00:15:20.599
Where i am right now. and that is exactly --
00:15:20.666 --> 00:15:22.701
And that is exactly -- that second horn
00:15:22.768 --> 00:15:23.936
That second horn is a horn of limitation.
00:15:24.003 --> 00:15:28.040
Is a horn of limitation. but every once in a while,
00:15:28.107 --> 00:15:29.708
But every once in a while, you just start accepting
00:15:29.775 --> 00:15:31.610
You just start accepting the limitations on life.
00:15:31.677 --> 00:15:33.846
The limitations on life. you stop --
00:15:33.912 --> 00:15:34.913
You stop -- to start settling.
00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:36.315
To start settling. you start saying,
00:15:36.382 --> 00:15:37.116
You start saying, "well, i've gone this far,
00:15:37.182 --> 00:15:38.650
"well, i've gone this far, and you know i didn't think
00:15:38.717 --> 00:15:39.752
And you know i didn't think i'd get this far so --
00:15:39.818 --> 00:15:40.953
I'd get this far so -- and then now,
00:15:41.020 --> 00:15:41.854
And then now, now, there's a --
00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:42.821
Now, there's a -- you know,
00:15:42.888 --> 00:15:43.622
You know, i don't think i can go.
00:15:43.689 --> 00:15:44.656
I don't think i can go. i don't think i can do that.
00:15:44.723 --> 00:15:45.758
I don't think i can do that. i don't think i'm capable
00:15:45.824 --> 00:15:47.059
I don't think i'm capable of that."
00:15:47.126 --> 00:15:47.960
Of that." but every once in a while,
00:15:48.027 --> 00:15:49.428
But every once in a while, you gotta push
00:15:49.495 --> 00:15:50.362
You gotta push on the limitations.
00:15:50.429 --> 00:15:53.332
On the limitations. faith never settles.
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.502
Faith never settles. god said, "spread abroad,"
00:15:56.568 --> 00:15:59.104
God said, "spread abroad," not "stay where
00:15:59.171 --> 00:16:00.039
Not "stay where you are comfortable
00:16:00.105 --> 00:16:01.540
You are comfortable and safe and sure and secure."
00:16:01.607 --> 00:16:06.045
And safe and sure and secure." so, when i did that,
00:16:06.111 --> 00:16:08.080
So, when i did that, and i pushed on the limitations
00:16:08.147 --> 00:16:09.415
And i pushed on the limitations and i preached that sermon,
00:16:09.481 --> 00:16:12.918
And i preached that sermon, once of the first letters
00:16:12.985 --> 00:16:14.787
Once of the first letters that we got was
00:16:14.853 --> 00:16:15.821
That we got was from a 73-year-old woman
00:16:15.888 --> 00:16:20.793
From a 73-year-old woman who sent a letter,
00:16:20.859 --> 00:16:22.761
Who sent a letter, and she addressed it and said,
00:16:22.828 --> 00:16:25.898
And she addressed it and said, "please get," --
00:16:25.964 --> 00:16:27.266
"please get," -- wrote a little note.
00:16:27.332 --> 00:16:28.534
Wrote a little note. "please tell that preacher
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.969
"please tell that preacher that little preacher,
00:16:31.036 --> 00:16:33.872
That little preacher, that i went and got $1,000 --
00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:37.209
That i went and got $1,000 -- god told me to go
00:16:37.276 --> 00:16:38.977
God told me to go get a $1,000 bill.
00:16:39.044 --> 00:16:42.881
Get a $1,000 bill. and tell him
00:16:42.948 --> 00:16:44.016
And tell him i hope he never uses it.
00:16:44.083 --> 00:16:47.186
I hope he never uses it. i want him to put it on the wall
00:16:47.252 --> 00:16:50.389
I want him to put it on the wall in his office to always remind
00:16:50.456 --> 00:16:53.492
In his office to always remind him that if god tells you
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.228
Him that if god tells you to do something,
00:16:56.295 --> 00:16:57.563
To do something, the resources are
00:16:57.629 --> 00:16:59.431
The resources are already there."
00:16:59.498 --> 00:17:02.835
Already there." this is that $1,000 bill.

This is in the book of acts. the apostle paul said,
00:18:27.686 --> 00:18:28.954
The apostle paul said, "i wanted to come to your city,

I used him in the first service, and i said i wasn't gon' use him
00:18:45.270 --> 00:18:46.338
And i said i wasn't gon' use him in this service 'cause i didn't
00:18:46.405 --> 00:18:48.674
In this service 'cause i didn't think about it when
00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:49.408
Think about it when i called him.
00:18:49.474 --> 00:18:50.008

The spirit of lack. god began to supply our needs.
00:18:58.317 --> 00:19:01.653
God began to supply our needs. and then we started breaking
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.322
And then we started breaking through the spirit

Through the spirit of limitation,
00:19:04.656 --> 00:19:05.357
Of limitation, that second horn.

That second horn. and then it was like
00:19:07.593 --> 00:19:10.028
And then it was like a hindering spirit.
00:19:10.095 --> 00:19:13.131

There are hindering spirits. it's like we knew we had

It's like we knew we had momentum going with us,
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.608
Momentum going with us, and we would try to go,
00:19:22.674 --> 00:19:24.076
