The fish that he put in the water,
00:03:18.912 --> 00:03:20.581
Put in the water, maybe just two,
00:03:20.648 --> 00:03:22.983
Maybe just two, and the birds that
00:03:23.050 --> 00:03:24.118
And the birds that he put in the sky,
00:03:24.184 --> 00:03:26.220
He put in the sky, whose seed is in itself,
00:03:26.287 --> 00:03:28.889

Everything that he created. because god

Greater than what we start with. genesis 1:22 said that he talked
00:03:53.347 --> 00:03:57.918
Genesis 1:22 said that he talked to the birds and the fish,
00:03:57.985 --> 00:04:00.287
To the birds and the fish, that the original ones
00:04:00.354 --> 00:04:01.955
That the original ones that he created,
00:04:02.022 --> 00:04:03.357

00:04:03.424 --> 00:04:04.525
And he said to them, "be fruitful and multiply."
00:04:04.591 --> 00:04:07.328

00:04:11.298 --> 00:04:12.766

00:04:12.833 --> 00:04:15.135
Of a blessing being transferred into the earth.
00:04:15.202 --> 00:04:17.538
Transferred into the earth. when it first was conceived in
00:04:17.604 --> 00:04:19.740

00:04:19.807 --> 00:04:22.543

That's how important multiplication is to god.
00:04:28.115 --> 00:04:29.483
Multiplication is to god. that we not be fruitless,
00:04:29.550 --> 00:04:31.919
That we not be fruitless, that we not get stagnant
00:04:31.985 --> 00:04:34.488
That we not get stagnant and become stale.
00:04:34.555 --> 00:04:36.190
And become stale. but god's dream for us,
00:04:36.256 --> 00:04:38.859
But god's dream for us, as he says it as
00:04:38.926 --> 00:04:40.194

Ever put on his creation. and by the way,
00:04:44.298 --> 00:04:45.199
And by the way, when adam and eve were made,
00:04:45.265 --> 00:04:47.134
When adam and eve were made, he said the same
00:04:47.201 --> 00:04:47.768
He said the same blessing over them.
00:04:47.835 --> 00:04:49.002
Blessing over them. he blessed them and said,
00:04:49.069 --> 00:04:50.471
He blessed them and said, "be fruitful and multiply."
00:04:50.537 --> 00:04:53.707
"be fruitful and multiply." god says,
00:04:53.774 --> 00:04:54.441
God says, "i want my people to multiply."
00:04:54.508 --> 00:04:58.912
"i want my people to multiply." when it comes to that blessing,
00:04:58.979 --> 00:05:00.614
When it comes to that blessing, it is the will of god

For your business to multiply. it's the will of god

For everything that you're involved in
00:05:25.472 --> 00:05:26.673
You're involved in to become greater.
00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:29.109
To become greater. the problem is five
00:05:29.176 --> 00:05:30.377
The problem is five times zero is zero.
00:05:30.444 --> 00:05:33.347
Times zero is zero. a thousand times zero is zero.
00:05:33.414 --> 00:05:36.984
A thousand times zero is zero. but god said,
00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:37.785
But god said, "i placed within everything
00:05:37.851 --> 00:05:41.188
"i placed within everything i create,
00:05:41.255 --> 00:05:42.923
I create, the desire for multiplication."
00:05:42.990 --> 00:05:46.026
The desire for multiplication." something in you says,
00:05:46.093 --> 00:05:48.462
Something in you says, "i was born for more."
00:05:48.529 --> 00:05:50.631
"i was born for more." something in you desires
00:05:50.697 --> 00:05:53.100
Something in you desires to see more come out that you
00:05:53.167 --> 00:05:56.136
To see more come out that you feel that you could potentially
00:05:56.203 --> 00:06:00.007
Feel that you could potentially express in a powerful way.
00:06:00.073 --> 00:06:03.677
Express in a powerful way. be fruitful and multiply
00:06:03.744 --> 00:06:06.180
Be fruitful and multiply our businesses, oh god.
00:06:06.246 --> 00:06:08.282
Our businesses, oh god. be fruitful
00:06:08.348 --> 00:06:09.283
Be fruitful and multiply our church,
00:06:09.349 --> 00:06:11.385
And multiply our church, and our peace,
00:06:11.452 --> 00:06:12.286
And our peace, and our joy.
00:06:12.352 --> 00:06:13.921
And our joy. that god says faith
00:06:13.987 --> 00:06:15.722
That god says faith is the substance
00:06:15.789 --> 00:06:16.723
Is the substance of things hoped for,
00:06:16.790 --> 00:06:18.258
Of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
00:06:18.325 --> 00:06:21.161
The evidence of things not seen. and that's the powerful
00:06:21.228 --> 00:06:22.296
And that's the powerful thing about multiplication.
00:06:22.362 --> 00:06:24.965
Thing about multiplication. the tree will multiply
00:06:25.032 --> 00:06:27.201
The tree will multiply from the inside out.
00:06:27.267 --> 00:06:29.970
From the inside out. the church will multiply
00:06:30.037 --> 00:06:31.772
The church will multiply from the inside out.
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.274
From the inside out. it's not based upon
00:06:34.341 --> 00:06:35.809
It's not based upon what the world does.
00:06:35.876 --> 00:06:37.411
What the world does. and when you let god take what
00:06:37.478 --> 00:06:41.315
And when you let god take what he put in you
00:06:41.381 --> 00:06:42.683
He put in you and turn it out,
00:06:42.749 --> 00:06:44.485
And turn it out, then suddenly,
00:06:44.551 --> 00:06:46.019
Then suddenly, amazing things begin
00:06:46.086 --> 00:06:47.588
Amazing things begin to happen in your life.
00:06:47.654 --> 00:06:48.889
To happen in your life. we're always looking
00:06:48.956 --> 00:06:49.957
We're always looking for the miracle to come
00:06:50.023 --> 00:06:51.358
For the miracle to come from the outside.
00:06:51.425 --> 00:06:53.760
From the outside. and in 2 kings 4,
00:06:53.827 --> 00:06:55.329
And in 2 kings 4, there was a woman who
00:06:55.395 --> 00:06:56.230
There was a woman who was in such debt that
00:06:56.296 --> 00:06:57.631
Was in such debt that her sons were being taken away
00:06:57.698 --> 00:07:00.167
Her sons were being taken away to serve time to pay
00:07:00.234 --> 00:07:02.369
To serve time to pay off the debt.
00:07:02.436 --> 00:07:04.238
Off the debt. and the prophet showed up at her
00:07:04.304 --> 00:07:05.639
And the prophet showed up at her house right before they
00:07:05.706 --> 00:07:06.907
House right before they were taken in chains.
00:07:06.974 --> 00:07:08.775
Were taken in chains. and he said,
00:07:08.842 --> 00:07:10.477
And he said, "what do you have in the house?"
00:07:10.544 --> 00:07:13.747
"what do you have in the house?" i'm sure she was sitting
00:07:13.814 --> 00:07:14.948
I'm sure she was sitting in that house thinking,
00:07:15.015 --> 00:07:16.016
In that house thinking, "if somebody outside
00:07:16.083 --> 00:07:17.384
"if somebody outside would just come,
00:07:17.451 --> 00:07:18.752
Would just come, some rich person,
00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:19.987
Some rich person, and pay my bill,
00:07:20.053 --> 00:07:21.288
And pay my bill, i wouldn't lose my sons
00:07:21.355 --> 00:07:23.457
I wouldn't lose my sons into having to be slaves
00:07:23.524 --> 00:07:26.560
Into having to be slaves to pay off this debt."
00:07:26.627 --> 00:07:28.562
To pay off this debt." but the prophet
00:07:28.629 --> 00:07:29.596
But the prophet didn't ask her about,
00:07:29.663 --> 00:07:30.831
Didn't ask her about, "who do you know outside?
00:07:30.898 --> 00:07:32.499
"who do you know outside? what do you have in the house?"
00:07:32.566 --> 00:07:35.769
What do you have in the house?" and she said,
00:07:35.836 --> 00:07:36.970
And she said, "all that i have is
00:07:37.037 --> 00:07:38.105
"all that i have is a little pot of oil."
00:07:38.171 --> 00:07:40.240
A little pot of oil." and the prophet said,
00:07:40.307 --> 00:07:41.508
And the prophet said, "get ready because god
00:07:41.575 --> 00:07:44.278
"get ready because god is gonna multiply what you have
00:07:44.344 --> 00:07:47.247
Is gonna multiply what you have on the inside.
00:07:47.314 --> 00:07:48.916
On the inside. he's not gonna bless
00:07:48.982 --> 00:07:50.784
He's not gonna bless you out there,
00:07:50.851 --> 00:07:52.352
You out there, he's gonna start it right where
00:07:52.419 --> 00:07:54.821
He's gonna start it right where you are when you use what
00:07:54.888 --> 00:07:56.857
You are when you use what you've got."
00:07:56.924 --> 00:07:57.491
You've got." and then he gave
00:07:57.558 --> 00:07:57.991
And then he gave another commandment.
00:07:58.058 --> 00:07:58.725
Another commandment. he said,
00:07:58.792 --> 00:07:59.359
He said, "go borrow vessels
00:07:59.426 --> 00:08:01.295
"go borrow vessels and borrow not a few."
00:08:01.361 --> 00:08:02.996
And borrow not a few." he said,
00:08:03.063 --> 00:08:03.397
He said, "i want you to go
00:08:03.463 --> 00:08:04.264
"i want you to go to every neighbor,
00:08:04.331 --> 00:08:05.465
To every neighbor, i want you to go
00:08:05.532 --> 00:08:06.500
I want you to go to every relative,
00:08:06.567 --> 00:08:08.068
To every relative, i want your boys to go all
00:08:08.135 --> 00:08:09.536
I want your boys to go all over the neighborhood
00:08:09.603 --> 00:08:10.704
Over the neighborhood and community,
00:08:10.771 --> 00:08:11.305
And community, i want you to bring 20, 30, 50,
00:08:11.371 --> 00:08:13.540
I want you to bring 20, 30, 50, as many as you can get.
00:08:13.607 --> 00:08:15.075
As many as you can get. get so many vessels in the house
00:08:15.142 --> 00:08:17.077
Get so many vessels in the house and set 'em out,
00:08:17.144 --> 00:08:18.045
And set 'em out, set 'em on tables,
00:08:18.111 --> 00:08:19.112
Set 'em on tables, set 'em on the floor,
00:08:19.179 --> 00:08:20.113
Set 'em on the floor, set 'em in front
00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:20.914
Set 'em in front of the fireplace,
00:08:20.981 --> 00:08:22.316
Of the fireplace, set 'em in the kitchen,
00:08:22.382 --> 00:08:23.383
Set 'em in the kitchen, and then just begin to pour
00:08:23.450 --> 00:08:26.086
And then just begin to pour what you have on the inside out.
00:08:26.153 --> 00:08:28.989
What you have on the inside out. pour it out.
00:08:29.056 --> 00:08:30.757
Pour it out. pour it, don't hoard it.
00:08:30.824 --> 00:08:33.060
Pour it, don't hoard it. pour it."
00:08:33.126 --> 00:08:34.127
Pour it." if you'll start using
00:08:34.194 --> 00:08:35.462
If you'll start using what i put in you.
00:08:35.529 --> 00:08:37.097
What i put in you. you can't keep saying,
00:08:37.164 --> 00:08:38.632
You can't keep saying, "i'm waiting on a big break
00:08:38.699 --> 00:08:39.833
"i'm waiting on a big break to come on the outside."
00:08:39.900 --> 00:08:41.068
To come on the outside." you've got to pour the little
00:08:41.134 --> 00:08:43.070
You've got to pour the little bit that you've got
00:08:43.136 --> 00:08:44.204
Bit that you've got on the inside.
00:08:44.271 --> 00:08:45.606
On the inside. god says,
00:08:45.672 --> 00:08:46.239
God says, "if you'll pour it."
00:08:46.306 --> 00:08:47.441
"if you'll pour it." and then they poured
00:08:47.507 --> 00:08:48.642
And then they poured from vessel,
00:08:48.709 --> 00:08:49.443
From vessel, to vessel,
00:08:49.509 --> 00:08:50.210
To vessel, to vessel,
00:08:50.277 --> 00:08:50.911
To vessel, to vessel.
00:08:50.978 --> 00:08:52.446
To vessel. and the scripture said as soon
00:08:52.512 --> 00:08:54.448
And the scripture said as soon as they ran out of pots
00:08:54.514 --> 00:08:56.683
As they ran out of pots to pour it into,
00:08:56.750 --> 00:08:57.951
To pour it into, the oil stopped.
00:08:58.018 --> 00:09:01.421
The oil stopped. that tells you that god says,
00:09:01.488 --> 00:09:03.590
That tells you that god says, "i only bless people
00:09:03.657 --> 00:09:05.092
"i only bless people and multiply people
00:09:05.158 --> 00:09:06.660
And multiply people who use what they have
00:09:06.727 --> 00:09:09.229
Who use what they have on the inside.
00:09:09.296 --> 00:09:10.897
On the inside. and it may look insignificant,
00:09:10.964 --> 00:09:12.899
And it may look insignificant, and it may look small,
00:09:12.966 --> 00:09:14.201
And it may look small, and many of you are sitting
00:09:14.267 --> 00:09:16.169
And many of you are sitting on what you can do
00:09:16.236 --> 00:09:18.305
On what you can do and saying,
00:09:18.372 --> 00:09:19.239
And saying, "but, you know,
00:09:19.306 --> 00:09:20.474
"but, you know, i just need something
00:09:20.540 --> 00:09:21.742
I just need something out there,"
00:09:21.808 --> 00:09:22.709
Out there," and god says,
00:09:22.776 --> 00:09:23.076
And god says, "do what you can do
00:09:23.143 --> 00:09:24.878
"do what you can do with what i've given you."
00:09:24.945 --> 00:09:26.146
With what i've given you." the miracle of multiplication
00:09:26.213 --> 00:09:27.981
The miracle of multiplication is never dependent
00:09:28.048 --> 00:09:29.182
Is never dependent on the outside.
00:09:29.249 --> 00:09:30.050
On the outside. god reaches inside and begins --
00:09:30.117 --> 00:09:32.719
God reaches inside and begins -- and there are businesses that
00:09:32.786 --> 00:09:33.920
And there are businesses that were started in this room when
00:09:33.987 --> 00:09:36.490
Were started in this room when somebody decided on the inside,
00:09:36.556 --> 00:09:38.458
Somebody decided on the inside, "i'm gonna do it,
00:09:38.525 --> 00:09:39.226
"i'm gonna do it, 'cause god's leading me
00:09:39.292 --> 00:09:40.827
'cause god's leading me to do it,
00:09:40.894 --> 00:09:41.228
To do it, and god breathed on it,
00:09:41.294 --> 00:09:42.829
And god breathed on it, and the blessing
00:09:42.896 --> 00:09:43.597
And the blessing of multiplication came on it."
00:09:43.664 --> 00:09:45.632
Of multiplication came on it." and you really can't
00:09:45.699 --> 00:09:46.533
And you really can't take the glory.
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:47.701
Take the glory. you worked hard,
00:09:47.768 --> 00:09:48.635
You worked hard, but you know the creator
00:09:48.702 --> 00:09:50.303
But you know the creator breathed on that seed,
00:09:50.370 --> 00:09:52.039
Breathed on that seed, and it was the blessing
00:09:52.105 --> 00:09:53.774
And it was the blessing of multiplication.
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.208
Of multiplication. that's how this church
00:09:55.275 --> 00:09:56.610
That's how this church is here today, hallelujah.
00:09:56.677 --> 00:09:58.578
Is here today, hallelujah. i'm telling you,
00:09:58.645 --> 00:09:59.413
I'm telling you, this stuff is real.
00:09:59.479 --> 00:10:01.114
This stuff is real. god can use and bless you
00:10:01.181 --> 00:10:04.084
God can use and bless you when you begin to pour it out,
00:10:04.151 --> 00:10:07.154
When you begin to pour it out, pour it out, pour it out.
00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:09.890
Pour it out, pour it out. you can't get a revelation
00:10:09.956 --> 00:10:12.426
You can't get a revelation of how big god is
00:10:12.492 --> 00:10:14.761
Of how big god is until you get a revelation
00:10:14.828 --> 00:10:15.996
Until you get a revelation of how small you are.
00:10:16.063 --> 00:10:18.899
Of how small you are. it's christ in you,
00:10:18.965 --> 00:10:20.867
It's christ in you, the hope of glory.
00:10:20.934 --> 00:10:22.836
The hope of glory. i have that revelation every
00:10:22.903 --> 00:10:24.171
I have that revelation every time i come to the pulpit.
00:10:24.237 --> 00:10:26.273
Time i come to the pulpit. all i have is a bunch of words
00:10:26.339 --> 00:10:27.874
All i have is a bunch of words on a piece of paper.
00:10:27.941 --> 00:10:29.576
On a piece of paper. and to be honest,
00:10:29.643 --> 00:10:30.711
And to be honest, i'm scared to death.
00:10:30.777 --> 00:10:31.812
I'm scared to death. i still get nervous at 62 years
00:10:31.878 --> 00:10:34.181
I still get nervous at 62 years of age after doing it 40
00:10:34.247 --> 00:10:35.582
Of age after doing it 40 something years.
00:10:35.649 --> 00:10:37.651
Something years. but i've learned something.
00:10:37.718 --> 00:10:39.152
But i've learned something. that i'm small,
00:10:39.219 --> 00:10:41.288
That i'm small, and i'm insignificant,
00:10:41.354 --> 00:10:42.856
And i'm insignificant, but the god that
00:10:42.923 --> 00:10:43.623
But the god that i serve is magnificent.
00:10:43.690 --> 00:10:45.525
I serve is magnificent. and the magnificent one
00:10:45.592 --> 00:10:47.227
And the magnificent one on the inside of me,
00:10:47.294 --> 00:10:48.929
On the inside of me, christ the hope of glory
00:10:48.995 --> 00:10:50.197
Christ the hope of glory that is in you,
00:10:50.263 --> 00:10:52.265
That is in you, if you would just let him
00:10:52.332 --> 00:10:53.233
If you would just let him take your little bit.
00:10:53.300 --> 00:10:54.901
Take your little bit. little is much when god
00:10:54.968 --> 00:10:56.603
Little is much when god is in it.
00:10:56.670 --> 00:10:57.671
Is in it. oh, hallelujah.
00:10:57.738 --> 00:10:58.972
Oh, hallelujah. i'm telling you.
00:10:59.039 --> 00:10:59.906
I'm telling you. you may feel like
00:10:59.973 --> 00:11:00.907
You may feel like you're insignificant,
00:11:00.974 --> 00:11:02.509
You're insignificant, but the magnificent
00:11:02.576 --> 00:11:04.277
But the magnificent lives in you.
00:11:04.344 --> 00:11:05.412
Lives in you. his name is jesus
00:11:05.479 --> 00:11:06.980
His name is jesus and he can use you
00:11:07.047 --> 00:11:08.682
And he can use you for his glory.
00:11:08.749 --> 00:11:10.250
For his glory. clap your hands
00:11:10.317 --> 00:11:11.084
Clap your hands and give him praise.
00:11:11.151 --> 00:11:11.818
[applause]
00:11:12.319 --> 00:11:16.022
Hallelujah.
00:11:16.389 --> 00:11:18.358
Hallelujah. the seed doesn't come
00:11:18.425 --> 00:11:19.559
The seed doesn't come from the trunk of the tree.
00:11:19.626 --> 00:11:23.864
From the trunk of the tree. he said,
00:11:23.930 --> 00:11:24.464
He said, "whose seed is in itself."
00:11:24.531 --> 00:11:26.466
"whose seed is in itself." but it does not come --
00:11:26.533 --> 00:11:28.135
But it does not come -- seeds don't come out
00:11:28.201 --> 00:11:28.735
Seeds don't come out of the trunk of a tree,
00:11:28.802 --> 00:11:29.936
Of the trunk of a tree, they don't come out
00:11:30.003 --> 00:11:30.470
They don't come out of the branches of a tree,
00:11:30.537 --> 00:11:32.139
Of the branches of a tree, they come only from the fruit
00:11:32.205 --> 00:11:34.074
They come only from the fruit of the tree.
00:11:34.141 --> 00:11:35.342
Of the tree. and that's why some are not
00:11:35.408 --> 00:11:36.443
And that's why some are not multiplying because god is
00:11:36.510 --> 00:11:39.212
Multiplying because god is waiting on some fruit.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.383
Waiting on some fruit. god will not multiply something
00:11:43.450 --> 00:11:45.585
God will not multiply something that is not producing any fruit.
00:11:45.652 --> 00:11:50.724
That is not producing any fruit. when jesus cursed the fig tree,
00:11:50.791 --> 00:11:52.993
When jesus cursed the fig tree, he was angry at it because
00:11:53.059 --> 00:11:55.328
He was angry at it because it was not producing fruit.
00:11:55.395 --> 00:11:58.231
It was not producing fruit. he did not --
00:11:58.298 --> 00:11:59.432
He did not -- listen, he said,
00:11:59.499 --> 00:12:00.500
Listen, he said, "be fruitful and multiply."
00:12:00.567 --> 00:12:02.936
"be fruitful and multiply." and when he needed
00:12:03.003 --> 00:12:03.970
And when he needed that tree to have fruit,
00:12:04.037 --> 00:12:05.705
That tree to have fruit, it had no fruit.
00:12:05.772 --> 00:12:06.873
It had no fruit. it had a trunk,
00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:08.008
It had a trunk, it had limbs,
00:12:08.074 --> 00:12:09.643
It had limbs, it had leaves,
00:12:09.709 --> 00:12:11.244
It had leaves, but it did not have fruit.
00:12:11.311 --> 00:12:13.847
But it did not have fruit. and when he cursed it,
00:12:13.914 --> 00:12:15.715
And when he cursed it, he cursed it from the roots up.
00:12:15.782 --> 00:12:19.152
He cursed it from the roots up. god will not bless the family
