>> look with me in genesis 45.
00:00:40.078 --> 00:00:43.415
>> look with me in genesis 45. i'll begin with
00:00:43.482 --> 00:00:44.116
I'll begin with the famous verse,
00:00:44.182 --> 00:00:45.016
The famous verse, verse 5, "but now,
00:00:45.083 --> 00:00:47.152
Verse 5, "but now, do not therefore be grieved
00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:48.720
Do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves."
00:00:48.787 --> 00:00:50.555
Or angry with yourselves." this is joseph
00:00:50.622 --> 00:00:51.223
This is joseph talking to his brothers.
00:00:51.289 --> 00:00:53.091
Talking to his brothers. "because you sold me here.
00:00:53.158 --> 00:00:55.360
"because you sold me here. for god sent me before you
00:00:55.427 --> 00:00:58.096
For god sent me before you to preserve your life."
00:00:58.163 --> 00:01:02.300
To preserve your life." verse 7, "and god sent me
00:01:02.367 --> 00:01:04.436
Verse 7, "and god sent me before you to preserve
00:01:04.503 --> 00:01:07.172
Before you to preserve a posterity for you
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.808
A posterity for you in the earth,
00:01:09.875 --> 00:01:10.909
In the earth, and to save your lives
00:01:10.976 --> 00:01:12.577
And to save your lives by a great deliverance."
00:01:12.644 --> 00:01:14.179
By a great deliverance." one more time.
00:01:14.246 --> 00:01:15.046
One more time. it says it in verse 11,
00:01:15.113 --> 00:01:16.381
It says it in verse 11, "therefore, i," joseph,
00:01:16.448 --> 00:01:18.583
"therefore, i," joseph, "will provide for you
00:01:18.650 --> 00:01:21.186
"will provide for you and your household
00:01:21.253 --> 00:01:22.787
And your household all you have,
00:01:22.854 --> 00:01:25.023
All you have, come to poverty for that --
00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:26.992
Come to poverty for that -- lest you come to poverty,
00:01:27.058 --> 00:01:28.493
Lest you come to poverty, for there are is still
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.661
For there are is still five years of famine."
00:01:29.728 --> 00:01:33.231
Five years of famine." so, there are four ways
00:01:33.298 --> 00:01:35.433
So, there are four ways that god will provide for us,
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:38.703
That god will provide for us, and they're found so easily
00:01:38.770 --> 00:01:40.172
And they're found so easily in the scriptures.
00:01:40.238 --> 00:01:41.773
In the scriptures. the first way that
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:42.607
The first way that god provides for you,
00:01:42.674 --> 00:01:43.942
God provides for you, if you're taking notes,
00:01:44.009 --> 00:01:46.011
If you're taking notes, is through the hand of man.
00:01:46.077 --> 00:01:48.146
Is through the hand of man. that's exactly
00:01:48.213 --> 00:01:49.114
That's exactly what happened in this text.
00:01:49.181 --> 00:01:51.116
What happened in this text. the bible said that joseph
00:01:51.183 --> 00:01:53.418
The bible said that joseph was talking to his brothers
00:01:53.485 --> 00:01:54.953
Was talking to his brothers who had hurt him.
00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:56.288
Who had hurt him. his brothers who had
00:01:56.354 --> 00:01:58.123
His brothers who had thrown him in a pit
00:01:58.190 --> 00:01:59.291
Thrown him in a pit and stolen his birthright.
00:01:59.357 --> 00:02:01.626
And stolen his birthright. and then he turns around
00:02:01.693 --> 00:02:03.395
And then he turns around and he says to them,
00:02:03.461 --> 00:02:05.130
And he says to them, "you meant it for my evil.
00:02:05.197 --> 00:02:06.798
"you meant it for my evil. i'm not bitter.
00:02:06.865 --> 00:02:07.666
I'm not bitter. i'm not offended.
00:02:07.732 --> 00:02:08.867
I'm not offended. i'm not angry.
00:02:08.934 --> 00:02:10.168
I'm not angry. you meant it for my evil.
00:02:10.235 --> 00:02:12.337
You meant it for my evil. but i see how
00:02:12.404 --> 00:02:13.305
But i see how god used what you
00:02:13.371 --> 00:02:15.574
God used what you put me through
00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:16.875
Put me through for my good.
00:02:16.942 --> 00:02:19.177
For my good. i wouldn't be
00:02:19.244 --> 00:02:19.878
I wouldn't be where i am today."
00:02:19.945 --> 00:02:21.012
Where i am today." well, where was he?
00:02:21.079 --> 00:02:22.013
Well, where was he? where was he?
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.148
Where was he? let's talk about that
00:02:23.215 --> 00:02:23.949
Let's talk about that for just one minute.
00:02:24.015 --> 00:02:25.650
For just one minute. he was working,
00:02:25.717 --> 00:02:26.851
He was working, the right-hand man.
00:02:26.918 --> 00:02:28.119
The right-hand man. he was working in egypt.
00:02:28.186 --> 00:02:29.955
He was working in egypt. he was a jew,
00:02:30.021 --> 00:02:31.022
He was a jew, but he was in egypt.
00:02:31.089 --> 00:02:32.891
But he was in egypt. and pharaoh, at that time,
00:02:32.958 --> 00:02:35.160
And pharaoh, at that time, history records,
00:02:35.227 --> 00:02:36.595
History records, was the wealthiest man
00:02:36.661 --> 00:02:37.996
Was the wealthiest man in the world.
00:02:38.063 --> 00:02:38.863
In the world. he owned the most
00:02:38.930 --> 00:02:40.131
He owned the most real estate in the world.
00:02:40.198 --> 00:02:41.433
Real estate in the world. he had the mightiest army
00:02:41.499 --> 00:02:43.068
He had the mightiest army in the world.
00:02:43.134 --> 00:02:44.069
In the world. he was the most
00:02:44.135 --> 00:02:45.437
He was the most powerful pharaoh on the planet,
00:02:45.503 --> 00:02:48.573
Powerful pharaoh on the planet, and guess what he did?
00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:49.741
And guess what he did? he turned the keys
00:02:49.808 --> 00:02:52.043
He turned the keys over of his wealth to a jew.
00:02:52.110 --> 00:02:55.680
Over of his wealth to a jew. this egyptian pharaoh
00:02:55.747 --> 00:02:57.382
This egyptian pharaoh gave the whole kingdom
00:02:57.449 --> 00:02:59.918
Gave the whole kingdom and its wealth to be controlled
00:02:59.985 --> 00:03:03.688
And its wealth to be controlled by this boy named joseph.
00:03:03.755 --> 00:03:06.891
By this boy named joseph. and joseph then in return says
00:03:06.958 --> 00:03:10.095
And joseph then in return says to his own brothers
00:03:10.161 --> 00:03:11.630
To his own brothers who had done him wrong,
00:03:11.696 --> 00:03:13.898
Who had done him wrong, "don't be afraid,
00:03:13.965 --> 00:03:15.600
"don't be afraid, i'm not gonna hurt you
00:03:15.667 --> 00:03:16.901
I'm not gonna hurt you now that i'm on this side
00:03:16.968 --> 00:03:18.336
Now that i'm on this side of the blessing of god.
00:03:18.403 --> 00:03:21.239
Of the blessing of god. the first way that god
00:03:21.306 --> 00:03:22.641
The first way that god will provide
00:03:22.707 --> 00:03:24.476
Will provide is through the hands of men.
00:03:24.542 --> 00:03:25.944
Is through the hands of men. that's why luke 6 says,
00:03:26.011 --> 00:03:27.879
That's why luke 6 says, "give and it shall be
00:03:27.946 --> 00:03:29.681
"give and it shall be given unto you.
00:03:29.748 --> 00:03:31.816
Given unto you. pressed down,
00:03:31.883 --> 00:03:32.984
Pressed down, shaken together,
00:03:33.051 --> 00:03:34.119
Shaken together, running over."
00:03:34.185 --> 00:03:34.719
Running over." and here's the key
00:03:34.786 --> 00:03:35.220
And here's the key to that verse,
00:03:35.287 --> 00:03:36.321
To that verse, "shall men, shall men."
00:03:36.388 --> 00:03:39.991
"shall men, shall men." god says, "i will cause
00:03:40.058 --> 00:03:42.927
God says, "i will cause men to give to you.
00:03:42.994 --> 00:03:45.630
Men to give to you. the same god that takes
00:03:45.697 --> 00:03:47.766
The same god that takes three loaves and two fish
00:03:47.832 --> 00:03:49.868
Three loaves and two fish and multiples it,
00:03:49.934 --> 00:03:51.303
And multiples it, and breaks it, and says,
00:03:51.369 --> 00:03:53.538
And breaks it, and says, "i'll make it exceedingly
00:03:53.605 --> 00:03:55.106
"i'll make it exceedingly abundantly above all
00:03:55.173 --> 00:03:56.775
Abundantly above all you could ask or think."
00:03:56.841 --> 00:03:57.776
You could ask or think." he's your god
00:03:57.842 --> 00:03:59.110
He's your god and the scripture said that,
00:03:59.177 --> 00:04:01.346
And the scripture said that, "he will use men
00:04:01.413 --> 00:04:03.548
"he will use men to give unto you."
00:04:03.615 --> 00:04:05.984
To give unto you." they'll give you jobs,
00:04:06.051 --> 00:04:07.585
They'll give you jobs, they'll open doors for you,
00:04:07.652 --> 00:04:09.154
They'll open doors for you, they'll notice,
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:11.189
They'll notice, they'll invest in you.
00:04:11.256 --> 00:04:13.158
They'll invest in you. he knows how to cause men
00:04:13.224 --> 00:04:16.161
He knows how to cause men to give unto you.
00:04:16.227 --> 00:04:17.796
To give unto you. secondly, the second way
00:04:17.862 --> 00:04:20.131
Secondly, the second way that god provides
00:04:20.198 --> 00:04:22.033
That god provides is through the hands of god.
00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:27.038
Is through the hands of god. he uses the hands of men
00:04:27.105 --> 00:04:28.640
He uses the hands of men and then there are
00:04:28.707 --> 00:04:29.774
And then there are supernatural blessing.
00:04:29.841 --> 00:04:31.476
Supernatural blessing. let me tell you what i mean.
00:04:31.543 --> 00:04:33.745
Let me tell you what i mean. when joseph took care
00:04:33.812 --> 00:04:35.280
When joseph took care of those families
00:04:35.347 --> 00:04:36.414
Of those families for years and years and years,
00:04:36.481 --> 00:04:38.616
For years and years and years, they were on the blessing train,
00:04:38.683 --> 00:04:40.952
They were on the blessing train, and they didn't have
00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:41.720
And they didn't have to worry about anything.
00:04:41.786 --> 00:04:43.021
To worry about anything. and joseph was the source,
00:04:43.088 --> 00:04:44.789
And joseph was the source, and really pharaoh
00:04:44.856 --> 00:04:46.024
And really pharaoh was the source.
00:04:46.091 --> 00:04:47.258
Was the source. god used the hands of man
00:04:47.325 --> 00:04:49.394
God used the hands of man to take care of 'em.
00:04:49.461 --> 00:04:51.262
To take care of 'em. but the bible said,
00:04:51.329 --> 00:04:52.497
But the bible said, "and there rose another pharaoh
00:04:52.564 --> 00:04:55.500
"and there rose another pharaoh after he died
00:04:55.567 --> 00:04:56.735
After he died that knew not joseph
00:04:56.801 --> 00:04:58.803
That knew not joseph nor his god
00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:01.106
Nor his god and everything changed.
00:05:01.172 --> 00:05:02.907
And everything changed. and suddenly,
00:05:02.974 --> 00:05:03.742
And suddenly, all the resources
00:05:03.808 --> 00:05:05.210
All the resources that they had put
00:05:05.276 --> 00:05:06.277
That they had put their hope and faith in,
00:05:06.344 --> 00:05:07.979
Their hope and faith in, it was taken out of their life."
00:05:08.046 --> 00:05:10.315
It was taken out of their life." now i wanna encourage somebody
00:05:10.382 --> 00:05:11.616
Now i wanna encourage somebody that when you lose a contract,
00:05:11.683 --> 00:05:14.052
That when you lose a contract, when a big financial situation
00:05:14.119 --> 00:05:17.422
When a big financial situation walks out of your life,
00:05:17.489 --> 00:05:18.790
Walks out of your life, it's a teaching moment
00:05:18.857 --> 00:05:20.959
It's a teaching moment that you need
00:05:21.025 --> 00:05:21.659
That you need to learn this point.
00:05:21.726 --> 00:05:22.527
To learn this point. god uses man's hands,
00:05:22.594 --> 00:05:23.828
God uses man's hands, but god is real touchy about
00:05:23.895 --> 00:05:26.531
But god is real touchy about when you start looking
00:05:26.598 --> 00:05:27.866
When you start looking to anybody more than him
00:05:27.932 --> 00:05:30.168
To anybody more than him as your source.
00:05:30.235 --> 00:05:31.970
As your source. be thankful for where you are
00:05:32.036 --> 00:05:33.705
Be thankful for where you are and begin to praise god
00:05:33.772 --> 00:05:35.140
And begin to praise god for what he's already
00:05:35.206 --> 00:05:36.474
For what he's already given you.
00:05:36.541 --> 00:05:36.908
Given you. he's got more
00:05:36.975 --> 00:05:37.742
He's got more and he'll bless you
00:05:37.809 --> 00:05:39.210
And he'll bless you if you'll obey him
00:05:39.277 --> 00:05:40.412
If you'll obey him and you'll honor him.
00:05:40.478 --> 00:05:41.579
And you'll honor him. i want you to put
00:05:41.646 --> 00:05:42.247
I want you to put your hands together
00:05:42.313 --> 00:05:42.981
Your hands together and i want you
00:05:43.047 --> 00:05:43.615
And i want you to thank the lord
00:05:43.681 --> 00:05:44.849
To thank the lord for all that god's hand
00:05:44.916 --> 00:05:48.353
For all that god's hand has provided.
00:05:48.420 --> 00:05:49.521
Has provided. [applause]
00:05:49.587 --> 00:05:50.054
[applause] that old song,
00:05:50.121 --> 00:05:50.855
That old song, "all that i have needed,

I've actually had people come up to me and say,
00:06:27.725 --> 00:06:29.093
Come up to me and say, "i don't know why
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:29.994

Even the building you're sitting in,
00:06:47.645 --> 00:06:48.546

But god says, "where i bless, and my hand blesses,

You're scared you'll have to get one.
00:09:00.912 --> 00:09:05.149
Have to get one. but in joshua 5:12 it said,
00:09:05.216 --> 00:09:08.286
But in joshua 5:12 it said, "when they crossed over jordan,"
00:09:08.353 --> 00:09:09.988
"when they crossed over jordan," i mean, all those years,
00:09:10.054 --> 00:09:11.322
I mean, all those years, the hand of god
00:09:11.389 --> 00:09:12.357
The hand of god gave them manna for 40 years.
00:09:12.423 --> 00:09:14.492
Gave them manna for 40 years. the hand of god
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:14.993
The hand of god did the miracle.
00:09:15.059 --> 00:09:16.861
Did the miracle. but then there comes
00:09:16.928 --> 00:09:19.931
But then there comes a new season where god says,
00:09:19.998 --> 00:09:22.200
A new season where god says, "i don't want you
00:09:22.266 --> 00:09:23.134
"i don't want you living by miracles
00:09:23.201 --> 00:09:25.770
Living by miracles all the time.
00:09:25.837 --> 00:09:27.639
All the time. i don't want you in 911 calls.
00:09:27.705 --> 00:09:31.776
I don't want you in 911 calls. 'help god, help, help,
00:09:31.843 --> 00:09:33.111
'help god, help, help, we're gonna lose the house,

We're gonna lose the house, we're gonna lose the car.'"
00:09:33.878 --> 00:09:34.812
We're gonna lose the car.'" god will give you miracles.
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:36.881
God will give you miracles. not -- i'm not --
00:09:36.948 --> 00:09:37.982
Not -- i'm not -- there's nothing wrong
00:09:38.049 --> 00:09:38.650
There's nothing wrong with being --
00:09:38.716 --> 00:09:39.417
With being -- i've been there.
00:09:39.484 --> 00:09:40.451
I've been there. i know what you're talking about
00:09:40.518 --> 00:09:42.420
I know what you're talking about but there's nothing
00:09:42.487 --> 00:09:44.622
But there's nothing wrong with having needs.
00:09:44.689 --> 00:09:47.692
Wrong with having needs. but there's a greater plan
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:48.926
But there's a greater plan god has than just struggle
00:09:48.993 --> 00:09:51.029
God has than just struggle and scratching and scraping by.
00:09:51.095 --> 00:09:54.599
And scratching and scraping by. and by your own hand --
00:09:54.666 --> 00:09:55.733
And by your own hand -- "what do you mean?"
00:09:55.800 --> 00:09:57.802
"what do you mean?" the bible said,
00:09:57.869 --> 00:09:58.403
The bible said, "the manna ceased."
00:09:58.469 --> 00:09:59.270
"the manna ceased." and god said something to 'em
00:09:59.337 --> 00:10:00.972
And god said something to 'em in deuteronomy 11:9.
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.608
In deuteronomy 11:9. he said, "the land
00:10:03.675 --> 00:10:04.442
He said, "the land that i'm taking to you --
00:10:04.509 --> 00:10:05.677
That i'm taking to you -- you to is flowing with
00:10:05.743 --> 00:10:06.577
You to is flowing with milk and honey,
00:10:06.644 --> 00:10:07.378
Milk and honey, for the land that you possess
00:10:07.445 --> 00:10:09.547
For the land that you possess is not like the land of egypt
00:10:09.614 --> 00:10:12.150
Is not like the land of egypt from which you've come,
00:10:12.216 --> 00:10:13.317
From which you've come, where you sowed your seed,
00:10:13.384 --> 00:10:14.552
Where you sowed your seed, and watered it by foot
00:10:14.619 --> 00:10:17.355
And watered it by foot as a watered garden."
00:10:17.422 --> 00:10:21.926
As a watered garden." you see, when they
00:10:21.993 --> 00:10:22.760
You see, when they were in egypt,
00:10:22.827 --> 00:10:24.495
Were in egypt, the land was so dry
00:10:24.562 --> 00:10:28.399
The land was so dry and parched that they had
00:10:28.466 --> 00:10:29.500
And parched that they had to pipe water
00:10:29.567 --> 00:10:30.868
To pipe water from the nile river
00:10:30.935 --> 00:10:32.437
From the nile river and the only way
00:10:32.503 --> 00:10:33.504
And the only way they could do that
00:10:33.571 --> 00:10:34.272
They could do that was with foot pumps.
00:10:34.338 --> 00:10:37.008
Was with foot pumps. and they had to have people out
00:10:37.075 --> 00:10:38.476
And they had to have people out there 24 hours a day
00:10:38.543 --> 00:10:40.044
There 24 hours a day and they would work so hard,
00:10:40.111 --> 00:10:42.180
And they would work so hard, go, go, foot pump.
00:10:42.246 --> 00:10:44.348
Go, go, foot pump. and the water would
00:10:44.415 --> 00:10:45.416
And the water would just a little bit,
00:10:45.483 --> 00:10:47.151
Just a little bit, just a little bit,
00:10:47.218 --> 00:10:47.885
Just a little bit, just enough, just enough
00:10:47.952 --> 00:10:49.887
Just enough, just enough to keep the crops alive.
00:10:49.954 --> 00:10:53.191
To keep the crops alive. but god said,
00:10:53.257 --> 00:10:55.760
But god said, "i don't want you,
00:10:55.827 --> 00:10:56.961
"i don't want you, for the rest of your life,
00:10:57.028 --> 00:11:01.332
For the rest of your life, to just depend on getting by.
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.770
To just depend on getting by. the hand of man,
00:11:05.837 --> 00:11:06.804
The hand of man, the hand of god,
00:11:06.871 --> 00:11:07.939
The hand of god, but i will bless
00:11:08.005 --> 00:11:09.507
But i will bless your hand of labor.
00:11:09.574 --> 00:11:13.277

Taking you to you're moving

You're moving from a foot pump mentality
00:11:17.115 --> 00:11:20.351
From a foot pump mentality to a land flowing
00:11:20.418 --> 00:11:23.121
To a land flowing with milk and honey."
00:11:23.187 --> 00:11:26.891
With milk and honey." but i'll need you to believe,
00:11:26.958 --> 00:11:28.259
But i'll need you to believe, and i need you to use

And i need you to use the work of your own hands."
00:11:29.560 --> 00:11:31.496
The work of your own hands." you are gifted at something.
00:11:31.562 --> 00:11:37.068
You are gifted at something. god says, "i will not

God says, "i will not do for you.
00:11:38.603 --> 00:11:41.606
Do for you. i won't do it for you.
00:11:41.672 --> 00:11:43.975
I won't do it for you. you have to find
00:11:44.041 --> 00:11:44.842
You have to find your own gift
00:11:44.909 --> 00:11:46.744
Your own gift and figure out
00:11:46.811 --> 00:11:47.578

00:11:50.915 --> 00:11:52.717
A bible in one hand and a saxophone in the other.
00:11:52.784 --> 00:11:58.022

Preach a good sermon, i had my saxophone on standby
00:12:08.966 --> 00:12:12.537
I had my saxophone on standby 'cause i knew it could
00:12:12.603 --> 00:12:13.137

00:12:13.204 --> 00:12:15.039

The last way that god blesses us --
00:13:38.623 --> 00:13:39.891
God blesses us -- and i wrote this,
00:13:39.957 --> 00:13:40.558
And i wrote this, and i didn't know
00:13:40.625 --> 00:13:41.225
And i didn't know what i was saying,
00:13:41.292 --> 00:13:41.726
What i was saying, and i didn't even know
00:13:41.792 --> 00:13:42.460
And i didn't even know what i was talking about,
00:13:42.526 --> 00:13:44.462
What i was talking about, it's through the hand
00:13:44.528 --> 00:13:44.962
It's through the hand of your enemy.
00:13:45.029 --> 00:13:46.464
Of your enemy. [applause]
00:13:46.530 --> 00:13:50.468

I know that's kind of how i felt, you know,
00:13:51.102 --> 00:13:52.470
Of how i felt, you know, when i wrote it, i thought,
00:13:52.536 --> 00:13:53.571
When i wrote it, i thought, "that's good."
00:13:53.638 --> 00:13:57.174
"that's good." 'cause i had some, you know,
00:13:57.241 --> 00:13:58.009
'cause i had some, you know, i had some people
00:13:58.075 --> 00:13:58.776
I had some people who didn't like me,
00:13:58.843 --> 00:13:59.877
Who didn't like me, talked about me and all that.
00:13:59.944 --> 00:14:01.279
Talked about me and all that. that's not an enemy.
00:14:01.345 --> 00:14:03.648
That's not an enemy. that's not --
00:14:03.714 --> 00:14:04.181
That's not -- you don't understand.
00:14:04.248 --> 00:14:07.885
You don't understand. but there will come --
00:14:07.952 --> 00:14:09.553
But there will come -- the bigger your assignment,
00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:12.023
The bigger your assignment, there will come true enemies
00:14:12.089 --> 00:14:14.058
There will come true enemies that are sent
00:14:14.125 --> 00:14:15.927
That are sent to kill, steal,
00:14:15.993 --> 00:14:16.694
To kill, steal, and destroy
00:14:16.761 --> 00:14:19.063
And destroy every way they can.
00:14:19.130 --> 00:14:23.501
Every way they can. but god says in numbers 14:9,
00:14:23.567 --> 00:14:30.207
But god says in numbers 14:9, "do not rebel against
00:14:30.274 --> 00:14:31.375
"do not rebel against the lord.
00:14:31.442 --> 00:14:32.610
The lord. don't fear the people
00:14:32.677 --> 00:14:33.110
Don't fear the people of the land."
00:14:33.177 --> 00:14:33.878
Of the land." they're about to go
00:14:33.945 --> 00:14:34.512
They're about to go into the promised land.
00:14:34.578 --> 00:14:37.281
Into the promised land. the people of the land
00:14:37.348 --> 00:14:38.516
The people of the land were giants,
00:14:38.582 --> 00:14:39.317
Were giants, and they were
00:14:39.383 --> 00:14:40.017
And they were freaked out about 'em.
00:14:40.084 --> 00:14:41.118
Freaked out about 'em. and listen to what he says,
00:14:41.185 --> 00:14:42.186
And listen to what he says, "for they are our bread."
00:14:42.253 --> 00:14:44.055
"for they are our bread." they're bread for us.
00:14:44.121 --> 00:14:46.557
They're bread for us. your enemies are bread for you.
00:14:46.624 --> 00:14:50.828
Your enemies are bread for you. god said in psalms 23,
00:14:50.895 --> 00:14:54.098
God said in psalms 23, "i can't even give you
00:14:54.165 --> 00:14:55.066
"i can't even give you my best banquet
00:14:55.132 --> 00:14:56.000
My best banquet unless you got some enemies
00:14:56.067 --> 00:14:57.401
Unless you got some enemies because i've prepared
00:14:57.468 --> 00:14:58.402
Because i've prepared my best blessings in
00:14:58.469 --> 00:15:00.004
My best blessings in the presence of your enemies."
00:15:00.071 --> 00:15:01.539
The presence of your enemies." [applause]
00:15:01.605 --> 00:15:02.540
[applause] i'll prepare a table before you.
00:15:02.606 --> 00:15:06.310
I'll prepare a table before you. not when you got
00:15:06.377 --> 00:15:07.478
Not when you got everybody loving you,
00:15:07.545 --> 00:15:09.013
Everybody loving you, but when you're going through
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:09.714
But when you're going through your darkest storms.
00:15:09.780 --> 00:15:11.615
Your darkest storms. when your heart is heavy,
00:15:11.682 --> 00:15:13.651
When your heart is heavy, and you feel like quitting."
00:15:13.718 --> 00:15:16.854
And you feel like quitting." listen to this.
00:15:16.921 --> 00:15:19.290
Listen to this. i wrote this when i didn't --
00:15:19.357 --> 00:15:20.691
I wrote this when i didn't -- i don't even know
00:15:20.758 --> 00:15:21.392
I don't even know where i got it from.
00:15:21.459 --> 00:15:22.193
Where i got it from. i can't remember.
00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:24.929
I can't remember. maybe the lord gave it to me.
00:15:24.996 --> 00:15:26.297
Maybe the lord gave it to me. i don't know.
00:15:26.364 --> 00:15:28.799
I don't know. the level of your attack
00:15:28.866 --> 00:15:30.868
The level of your attack will tell you two things,
00:15:30.935 --> 00:15:32.636
Will tell you two things, number one,
00:15:32.703 --> 00:15:34.839
Number one, how valuable you are
00:15:34.905 --> 00:15:36.540
How valuable you are to god in your assignment.
00:15:36.607 --> 00:15:39.543
To god in your assignment. if you're going through
00:15:39.610 --> 00:15:40.277
If you're going through a huge attack,
00:15:40.344 --> 00:15:42.780
A huge attack, it's because you have
00:15:42.847 --> 00:15:43.881
It's because you have an assignment.
00:15:43.948 --> 00:15:46.417
An assignment. i wish somebody
00:15:46.484 --> 00:15:46.784
I wish somebody had ought to ta --
00:15:46.851 --> 00:15:47.385
Had ought to ta -- i wish i had listened
00:15:47.451 --> 00:15:48.152
I wish i had listened to my own preaching.
00:15:48.219 --> 00:15:51.756
To my own preaching. if you've got a huge assignment,
00:15:51.822 --> 00:15:54.225
If you've got a huge assignment, it will be matched by
00:15:54.291 --> 00:15:55.459
It will be matched by a huge attack.
00:15:55.526 --> 00:15:58.662
A huge attack. secondly, the level
00:15:58.729 --> 00:16:00.831
Secondly, the level of your attack
00:16:00.898 --> 00:16:02.600
Of your attack will tell you
00:16:02.666 --> 00:16:04.468
Will tell you the level of blessing
00:16:04.535 --> 00:16:06.070
The level of blessing that is waiting for you
00:16:06.137 --> 00:16:07.972
That is waiting for you on the other side
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.040
On the other side of this attack.
00:16:09.106 --> 00:16:10.775
Of this attack. [cheering and applause]
00:16:10.841 --> 00:16:15.413
I need you to shout
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:16.981
I need you to shout if you made it through the fire,
00:16:17.048 --> 00:16:19.450
If you made it through the fire, if you've ever made it
00:16:19.517 --> 00:16:20.317
If you've ever made it through the flood.
00:16:20.384 --> 00:16:22.153
Through the flood. won't he do it?
00:16:22.219 --> 00:16:23.521
Won't he do it? won't he do it?
00:16:23.587 --> 00:16:24.722
Won't he do it? just -- every voice told you,
00:16:24.789 --> 00:16:27.558
Just -- every voice told you, "you couldn't do it."
00:16:27.625 --> 00:16:28.526
"you couldn't do it." every voice told you,
00:16:28.592 --> 00:16:29.727
Every voice told you, "give up."
00:16:29.794 --> 00:16:30.494
"give up." every voice told you,
00:16:30.561 --> 00:16:32.296
Every voice told you, "you're not good enough.
00:16:32.363 --> 00:16:33.597
"you're not good enough. you're not strong enough.
00:16:33.664 --> 00:16:34.665
You're not strong enough. you're not big enough.
00:16:34.732 --> 00:16:35.699
You're not big enough. you are crazy."
00:16:35.766 --> 00:16:37.935
You are crazy." but when you go through the fire
00:16:38.002 --> 00:16:41.005
But when you go through the fire and you still believe,
00:16:41.072 --> 00:16:44.575
And you still believe, you go through the flood,
00:16:44.642 --> 00:16:47.178
You go through the flood, and they don't overtake you,
00:16:47.244 --> 00:16:48.479
And they don't overtake you, but it gets right up
00:16:48.546 --> 00:16:49.213
But it gets right up to your nostrils.
00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:52.583
To your nostrils. but that's the people,
00:16:52.650 --> 00:16:53.117
But that's the people, you don't understand,
00:16:53.184 --> 00:16:53.918
You don't understand, that's the process.
00:16:53.984 --> 00:16:56.220
That's the process. i don't ever talk to anybody
00:16:56.287 --> 00:16:57.221
I don't ever talk to anybody who's done much with their life
00:16:57.288 --> 00:16:59.023
Who's done much with their life that they haven't had
00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:00.624
That they haven't had that season
00:17:00.691 --> 00:17:01.425
That season where it almost took 'em out.
00:17:01.492 --> 00:17:04.462
But i see all of these
00:17:07.765 --> 00:17:08.699
But i see all of these young couples and young people.

00:17:30.955 --> 00:17:33.824
Experiencing this morning, the people who are sitting
00:17:33.891 --> 00:17:34.992
The people who are sitting made happen for the most part.
00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:41.165
Made happen for the most part. what are you gonna do?
00:17:41.232 --> 00:17:45.469
What are you gonna do?
00:17:45.569 --> 00:17:48.072
What are you gonna do? most of you have been
00:17:48.139 --> 00:17:49.440
Most of you have been blessed by the hands
00:17:49.507 --> 00:17:50.374
Blessed by the hands of your parents
00:17:50.441 --> 00:17:51.275
Of your parents or someone in your life
00:17:51.342 --> 00:17:52.510
Or someone in your life that's helped you
00:17:52.576 --> 00:17:54.512
That's helped you along the way,
00:17:54.578 --> 00:17:55.813
Along the way, now it's on you.
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.283
Now it's on you. so, to dream a big dream
00:17:59.350 --> 00:18:01.719
So, to dream a big dream is not to be selfish.
00:18:01.785 --> 00:18:03.487
Is not to be selfish. to be highly effective
00:18:03.554 --> 00:18:05.856
To be highly effective in doing something with skill,
00:18:05.923 --> 00:18:07.825
In doing something with skill, with your hands,
00:18:07.892 --> 00:18:08.759
With your hands, and build something
00:18:08.826 --> 00:18:09.627
And build something from scratch,
00:18:09.693 --> 00:18:10.761
From scratch, and have a dream
00:18:10.828 --> 00:18:11.896
And have a dream that you really want to re --
00:18:11.962 --> 00:18:15.232
That you really want to re -- to do something with your life
00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:16.901
To do something with your life it's actually selfish
00:18:16.967 --> 00:18:18.869
It's actually selfish to not have that
00:18:18.936 --> 00:18:19.770
To not have that kind of mentality.
00:18:19.837 --> 00:18:22.940
Kind of mentality. and the reason i had you stand
00:18:23.007 --> 00:18:24.341
And the reason i had you stand is i want you to feel
00:18:24.408 --> 00:18:25.209
Is i want you to feel the weight that nothing
00:18:25.276 --> 00:18:26.777
The weight that nothing that we have done,
00:18:26.844 --> 00:18:28.112
That we have done, all the things
00:18:28.179 --> 00:18:29.079
All the things through the decades
00:18:29.146 --> 00:18:32.383
Through the decades is because somebody
00:18:32.449 --> 00:18:34.618
Is because somebody heard a message
00:18:34.685 --> 00:18:35.286
Heard a message like this and said,
00:18:35.352 --> 00:18:37.288
Like this and said, "i'm gonna trust the lord.
00:18:37.354 --> 00:18:39.356
"i'm gonna trust the lord. i'm gonna be a partner with god.
00:18:39.423 --> 00:18:42.593
I'm gonna be a partner with god. i'm gonna do something
00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:43.527
I'm gonna do something beyond myself and help others."
00:18:43.594 --> 00:18:46.597
Beyond myself and help others." and watch what god
00:18:46.664 --> 00:18:47.331
And watch what god will do back to you.
00:18:47.398 --> 00:18:49.366

00:18:49.433 --> 00:18:51.135
He is no man's debtor. "he will come back
00:18:51.202 --> 00:18:52.136
"he will come back pressed down,
00:18:52.203 --> 00:18:52.703
Pressed down, shaken together,

Thank god somebody does it. it feeds us.
00:19:23.367 --> 00:19:28.872
It feeds us. it's not about where you are,
00:19:28.939 --> 00:19:31.575
It's not about where you are, it's where you're going
00:19:31.642 --> 00:19:32.643
It's where you're going and what god can trust you with.
00:19:32.710 --> 00:19:34.478
And what god can trust you with. [applause]

"if you're faithful with another person's,
00:19:38.015 --> 00:19:39.783
With another person's, you'll have your own."
00:19:39.850 --> 00:19:42.152
You'll have your own." if you get up

What can i get by with not doing,
00:19:45.856 --> 00:19:46.624
With not doing, but when you get up
00:19:46.690 --> 00:19:47.725
But when you get up and you say,
00:19:47.791 --> 00:19:48.592
And you say, "i'mma act like this is
