"again proclaim, saying,
00:00:40.976 --> 00:00:42.911
'thus says the lord of hosts:
00:00:42.978 --> 00:00:46.048
'my cities shall again spread

Through prosperity. a bible word.
00:01:02.531 --> 00:01:04.066
A bible word. "the lord will again
00:01:04.133 --> 00:01:05.367
"the lord will again comfort zion,
00:01:05.434 --> 00:01:07.136
Comfort zion, he will again choose jerusalem.'
00:01:07.202 --> 00:01:10.706
He will again choose jerusalem.' then i raised my eyes
00:01:10.772 --> 00:01:12.441
Then i raised my eyes and looked,
00:01:12.508 --> 00:01:13.475
And looked, and there were four horns.
00:01:13.542 --> 00:01:15.878
And there were four horns. and i said to the angel
00:01:15.944 --> 00:01:17.179
And i said to the angel who talked with me,
00:01:17.246 --> 00:01:18.347
Who talked with me, 'what are these?'
00:01:18.413 --> 00:01:18.914
So he answered,
00:01:19.014 --> 00:01:20.315
'these are the horns
00:01:20.382 --> 00:01:22.050
That have scattered judah,
00:01:22.117 --> 00:01:23.719
Israel, and jerusalem.'
00:01:23.785 --> 00:01:27.422
Then the lord showed me
00:01:27.523 --> 00:01:29.291
Then the lord showed me four carpenters --
00:01:29.358 --> 00:01:31.059
Four carpenters -- or craftsmen."
00:01:31.126 --> 00:01:33.562
Or craftsmen." the king james says carpenters.
00:01:33.629 --> 00:01:35.931
The king james says carpenters. "and i said,
00:01:35.998 --> 00:01:36.899
"and i said, 'who are these coming to --
00:01:36.965 --> 00:01:39.001
'who are these coming to -- what are these
00:01:39.067 --> 00:01:40.202
What are these coming to do?'
00:01:40.269 --> 00:01:40.736
Coming to do?' so he said,
00:01:40.802 --> 00:01:41.837
So he said, 'these are the horns
00:01:41.904 --> 00:01:43.172
'these are the horns that scattered judah,
00:01:43.238 --> 00:01:45.374
That scattered judah, so that no one could
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:47.042
So that no one could lift their head;
00:01:47.109 --> 00:01:49.211
But the craftsmen,"
00:01:49.311 --> 00:01:50.345
Or the carpenters,
00:01:50.412 --> 00:01:51.146
"are coming to terrify them,
00:01:51.213 --> 00:01:53.182
To cast out the horns
00:01:53.248 --> 00:01:54.516
Of the nations that lifted up
00:01:54.583 --> 00:01:56.285
Their horn against the land
00:01:56.351 --> 00:01:58.854
Of judah to scatter it."
00:01:58.921 --> 00:02:01.957
It's really something
00:02:02.057 --> 00:02:02.991
It's really something when you read these verses
00:02:03.058 --> 00:02:04.193
When you read these verses and you see what's happening
00:02:04.259 --> 00:02:05.194
And you see what's happening in israel,
00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:06.295
In israel, even as we're speaking.
00:02:06.361 --> 00:02:07.996
Even as we're speaking. same ancient spirits trying
00:02:08.063 --> 00:02:11.033
Same ancient spirits trying to scatter and destroy.
00:02:11.099 --> 00:02:13.902
To scatter and destroy. but this is one of the powerful
00:02:13.969 --> 00:02:18.006
But this is one of the powerful insights and visions
00:02:18.073 --> 00:02:19.975
Insights and visions that zechariah had,
00:02:20.042 --> 00:02:23.679
That zechariah had, and it starts out as soon
00:02:23.745 --> 00:02:26.114
And it starts out as soon as god spoke prosperity
00:02:26.181 --> 00:02:29.084
As god spoke prosperity over the nation and over
00:02:29.151 --> 00:02:31.420
Over the nation and over the city of jerusalem,
00:02:31.486 --> 00:02:33.555
The city of jerusalem, which is a type
00:02:33.622 --> 00:02:34.523
Which is a type of the church,
00:02:34.590 --> 00:02:35.257
Of the church, and over judah,
00:02:35.324 --> 00:02:36.892
And over judah, which is the righteous seed,
00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:39.094
Which is the righteous seed, a type of the christians,
00:02:39.161 --> 00:02:41.930
A type of the christians, the believer.
00:02:41.997 --> 00:02:43.498
The believer. god spoke prosperity
00:02:43.565 --> 00:02:46.335
God spoke prosperity to the nation,
00:02:46.401 --> 00:02:49.371
To the nation, and as soon as god did that,
00:02:49.438 --> 00:02:51.373
And as soon as god did that, instantly the prophet saw,
00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:54.509
Instantly the prophet saw, in a vision, four horns
00:02:54.576 --> 00:02:56.845
In a vision, four horns of resistance arise.
00:02:56.912 --> 00:02:59.781
Of resistance arise. horns are always symbolic
00:02:59.848 --> 00:03:01.450
Horns are always symbolic of unbridled power.
00:03:01.516 --> 00:03:03.919
Of unbridled power. and in this case,
00:03:03.986 --> 00:03:05.387
And in this case, it's satanic power
00:03:05.454 --> 00:03:06.755
It's satanic power with two objectives,
00:03:06.822 --> 00:03:08.390
With two objectives, number one,
00:03:08.457 --> 00:03:08.957
Number one, to scatter israel,
00:03:09.024 --> 00:03:10.659
To scatter israel, to divide families,
00:03:10.726 --> 00:03:12.294
To divide families, to divide people,
00:03:12.361 --> 00:03:14.763
To divide people, and to decimate.
00:03:14.830 --> 00:03:16.965
And to decimate. and then secondly,
00:03:17.032 --> 00:03:18.066
And then secondly, so that --
00:03:18.133 --> 00:03:19.401
So that -- to so depress,
00:03:19.468 --> 00:03:20.435
To so depress, and discourage,
00:03:20.502 --> 00:03:21.436
And discourage, and defeat
00:03:21.503 --> 00:03:22.771
And defeat that no man could
00:03:22.838 --> 00:03:24.406
That no man could lift up his head.
00:03:24.473 --> 00:03:27.409
Lift up his head. and these four principalities,
00:03:27.476 --> 00:03:29.745
And these four principalities, these four demon spirits
00:03:29.811 --> 00:03:32.681
These four demon spirits assigned to the people of god
00:03:32.748 --> 00:03:36.685
Assigned to the people of god to keep their heads down,
00:03:36.752 --> 00:03:40.188
To keep their heads down, to oppress,
00:03:40.255 --> 00:03:41.189
To oppress, to depress, to defeat,"
00:03:41.256 --> 00:03:43.592
To depress, to defeat," and listen carefully,
00:03:43.659 --> 00:03:45.127
And listen carefully, "to stop
00:03:45.193 --> 00:03:46.395
"to stop from spreading out."
00:03:46.461 --> 00:03:47.629
From spreading out." when i read
00:03:47.696 --> 00:03:48.630
When i read the spreading out part,
00:03:48.697 --> 00:03:50.265
The spreading out part, i thought about going to all
00:03:50.332 --> 00:03:51.767
I thought about going to all the world and preach the gospel.
00:03:51.833 --> 00:03:53.802
The world and preach the gospel. the spreading out.
00:03:53.869 --> 00:03:54.936
The spreading out. and what i'm gonna share
00:03:55.003 --> 00:03:56.204
And what i'm gonna share with you this morning is not
00:03:56.271 --> 00:03:59.508
With you this morning is not something that i read somewhere,
00:03:59.574 --> 00:04:01.510
Something that i read somewhere, i'm sharing this with you
00:04:01.576 --> 00:04:03.245
I'm sharing this with you because it is what i have seen
00:04:03.312 --> 00:04:07.616
Because it is what i have seen god do in this church.
00:04:07.683 --> 00:04:09.584
God do in this church. we had to confront
00:04:09.651 --> 00:04:11.286
We had to confront these four horns
00:04:11.353 --> 00:04:12.387
These four horns that i'm gonna talk about.
00:04:12.454 --> 00:04:13.655
That i'm gonna talk about. and whether you're
00:04:13.722 --> 00:04:14.656
And whether you're building a business,
00:04:14.723 --> 00:04:15.924
Building a business, or building a family,
00:04:15.991 --> 00:04:17.059
Or building a family, or building a career,
00:04:17.125 --> 00:04:18.427
Or building a career, or building a dream,
00:04:18.493 --> 00:04:20.295
Or building a dream, or building a church,
00:04:20.362 --> 00:04:22.531
Or building a church, you will encounter
00:04:22.597 --> 00:04:24.866
You will encounter the resistance,
00:04:24.933 --> 00:04:26.001
The resistance, especially if it's something
00:04:26.068 --> 00:04:27.803
Especially if it's something god has put in your
00:04:27.869 --> 00:04:28.904
God has put in your heart to build.
00:04:28.970 --> 00:04:30.972
Heart to build. and that's why it talks about
00:04:31.039 --> 00:04:32.841
And that's why it talks about the spirit of the carpenter.
00:04:32.908 --> 00:04:34.443
The spirit of the carpenter. four carpenters came
00:04:34.509 --> 00:04:36.044
Four carpenters came to the rescue when
00:04:36.111 --> 00:04:37.479
To the rescue when they were under attack
00:04:37.546 --> 00:04:39.581
They were under attack because the carpenter has
00:04:39.648 --> 00:04:42.417
Because the carpenter has got to come and help.
00:04:42.484 --> 00:04:45.420
Got to come and help. it's a beautiful picture
00:04:45.487 --> 00:04:46.655
It's a beautiful picture of jesus christ.
00:04:46.722 --> 00:04:49.124
Of jesus christ. and the prosperity,
00:04:49.191 --> 00:04:50.525
And the prosperity, the scripture said,
00:04:50.592 --> 00:04:51.793
The scripture said, was given to spread abroad,
00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:54.329
Was given to spread abroad, spread abroad the nations.
00:04:54.396 --> 00:04:56.431
Spread abroad the nations. and let's say spread abroad
00:04:56.498 --> 00:04:58.266
And let's say spread abroad the kingdom of god
00:04:58.333 --> 00:04:59.601
The kingdom of god and the good news
00:04:59.668 --> 00:05:00.235
And the good news of jesus christ.
00:05:00.302 --> 00:05:01.737
Of jesus christ. and when you think
00:05:01.803 --> 00:05:02.437
And when you think of the word prosperity,
00:05:02.504 --> 00:05:03.939
Of the word prosperity, don't just think of money.
00:05:04.005 --> 00:05:06.074
Don't just think of money. but i want you to think
00:05:06.141 --> 00:05:06.975
But i want you to think of a prosperous marriage,
00:05:07.042 --> 00:05:08.910
Of a prosperous marriage, a prosperous career,
00:05:08.977 --> 00:05:10.445
A prosperous career, a prosperous family,
00:05:10.512 --> 00:05:12.381
A prosperous family, prosperous work,
00:05:12.447 --> 00:05:13.749
Prosperous work, and dreams.
00:05:13.815 --> 00:05:16.151
And dreams. god wants his people
00:05:16.218 --> 00:05:18.186
God wants his people to be productive and fruitful.
00:05:18.253 --> 00:05:20.922
To be productive and fruitful. and he said,
00:05:20.989 --> 00:05:21.723
And he said, "i've decreed prosperity,
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:23.658
"i've decreed prosperity, a breaking forth,
00:05:23.725 --> 00:05:25.260
A breaking forth, a spreading out,
00:05:25.327 --> 00:05:27.095
A spreading out, a breakthrough,
00:05:27.162 --> 00:05:27.829
A breakthrough, a spreading abroad
00:05:27.896 --> 00:05:29.664
A spreading abroad to do more,
00:05:29.731 --> 00:05:30.565
To do more, to grow more,
00:05:30.632 --> 00:05:31.700
To grow more, to expand more."
00:05:31.767 --> 00:05:33.969
To expand more." and jesus,
00:05:34.035 --> 00:05:34.736
And jesus, the son of the carpenter,
00:05:34.803 --> 00:05:37.873
The son of the carpenter, is part of that under
00:05:37.939 --> 00:05:39.574
Is part of that under the new covenant.
00:05:39.641 --> 00:05:41.076
The new covenant. and i believe the four horns are
00:05:41.143 --> 00:05:43.011
And i believe the four horns are the four gospels:
00:05:43.078 --> 00:05:44.012
The four gospels: matthew, mark, luke, and john.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.915
Matthew, mark, luke, and john. and i'm sending today,
00:05:46.982 --> 00:05:49.418
And i'm sending today, and i'm coming today
00:05:49.484 --> 00:05:51.052
And i'm coming today in the spirit of the carpenter
00:05:51.119 --> 00:05:52.287
In the spirit of the carpenter to talk to you
00:05:52.354 --> 00:05:53.155
To talk to you from my heart.
00:05:53.221 --> 00:05:55.223
From my heart. just when the horns
00:05:55.290 --> 00:05:56.992
Just when the horns were pressing them down,
00:05:57.058 --> 00:05:58.860
Were pressing them down, jesus christ and
00:05:58.927 --> 00:06:00.195
Jesus christ and the spirit of the carpenters
00:06:00.262 --> 00:06:02.130
The spirit of the carpenters showed up to rebuild the nation,
00:06:02.197 --> 00:06:05.033
Showed up to rebuild the nation, rebuild the homes
00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:06.701
Rebuild the homes and the families,
00:06:06.768 --> 00:06:07.469
And the families, rebuild what was once
00:06:07.536 --> 00:06:09.237
Rebuild what was once great that had been demolished.
00:06:09.304 --> 00:06:13.175
Great that had been demolished. the first horn i wanna liken
00:06:13.241 --> 00:06:14.810
The first horn i wanna liken and call the spirit of lack.
00:06:14.876 --> 00:06:17.846
And call the spirit of lack. because if you're gonna
00:06:17.913 --> 00:06:19.114
Because if you're gonna build something,
00:06:19.181 --> 00:06:20.549
Build something, sooner or later you will
00:06:20.615 --> 00:06:21.416
Sooner or later you will come in conflict
00:06:21.483 --> 00:06:23.819
Come in conflict with the spirit of lack.
00:06:23.885 --> 00:06:26.455
With the spirit of lack. we have to do our work,
00:06:26.521 --> 00:06:27.589
We have to do our work, we have to do our part,
00:06:27.656 --> 00:06:29.624
We have to do our part, we have to be excellent
00:06:29.691 --> 00:06:30.926
We have to be excellent at what we do.
00:06:30.992 --> 00:06:32.060
At what we do. but as soon as you start to lift
00:06:32.127 --> 00:06:33.829
But as soon as you start to lift up your head,
00:06:33.895 --> 00:06:34.996
Up your head, and god gives you a vision.
00:06:35.063 --> 00:06:36.565
And god gives you a vision. i know it happened to me
00:06:36.631 --> 00:06:38.066
I know it happened to me when i came here,
00:06:38.133 --> 00:06:39.501
When i came here, and cherise when
00:06:39.568 --> 00:06:40.469
And cherise when we came here.
00:06:40.535 --> 00:06:41.303
We came here. i was 28 years old when i became
00:06:41.369 --> 00:06:43.872
I was 28 years old when i became pastor of this church,
00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:45.073
Pastor of this church, and cherise is
00:06:45.140 --> 00:06:46.107
And cherise is seven years younger than me.
00:06:46.174 --> 00:06:47.843
Seven years younger than me. and we were really kids.
00:06:47.909 --> 00:06:49.411
And we were really kids. we did not know what
00:06:49.478 --> 00:06:50.812
We did not know what we were doing.
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:51.913
We were doing. we just had a vision,
00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:52.981
We just had a vision, we just had a dream
00:06:53.048 --> 00:06:54.316
We just had a dream for this church
00:06:54.382 --> 00:06:55.250
For this church called free chapel.
00:06:55.317 --> 00:06:57.085
Called free chapel. it felt right,
00:06:57.152 --> 00:06:58.253
It felt right, it lived up to its name,
00:06:58.320 --> 00:06:59.588
It lived up to its name, it felt free.
00:06:59.654 --> 00:07:01.223
It felt free. and it felt like something,
00:07:01.289 --> 00:07:02.858
And it felt like something, god had a special
00:07:02.924 --> 00:07:04.092
God had a special assignment on this place.
00:07:04.159 --> 00:07:06.394
Assignment on this place. and i remember those days,
00:07:06.461 --> 00:07:07.629
And i remember those days, i remember pulling up into
00:07:07.696 --> 00:07:08.897
I remember pulling up into the parking lot
00:07:08.964 --> 00:07:10.031
The parking lot on browns bridge road
00:07:10.098 --> 00:07:11.233
On browns bridge road of that building.
00:07:11.299 --> 00:07:13.068
Of that building. and i also know that as soon
00:07:13.134 --> 00:07:16.137
And i also know that as soon as we started growing,
00:07:16.204 --> 00:07:17.906
As we started growing, the spirit of lack
00:07:17.973 --> 00:07:19.474
The spirit of lack began to challenge the vision
00:07:19.541 --> 00:07:21.243
Began to challenge the vision that god had given me
00:07:21.309 --> 00:07:23.111
That god had given me and the leadership
00:07:23.178 --> 00:07:24.212
And the leadership for this church
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:25.981
For this church to keep up in the same place,
00:07:26.047 --> 00:07:28.650
To keep up in the same place, to keep us on the same level.
00:07:28.717 --> 00:07:32.020
To keep us on the same level. it can even --
00:07:32.087 --> 00:07:32.954
It can even -- the spirit of lack can
00:07:33.021 --> 00:07:34.155
The spirit of lack can even attach itself to families.
00:07:34.222 --> 00:07:36.892
Even attach itself to families. and for generation
00:07:36.958 --> 00:07:38.059
And for generation after generation,
00:07:38.126 --> 00:07:39.327
After generation, they never break out,
00:07:39.394 --> 00:07:41.129
They never break out, they never get out from under
00:07:41.196 --> 00:07:43.632
They never get out from under the horn that causes
00:07:43.698 --> 00:07:45.333
The horn that causes the family to stay down.
00:07:45.400 --> 00:07:48.003
The family to stay down. and i'll never forget one thing
00:07:48.069 --> 00:07:49.838
And i'll never forget one thing that really happened to me.
00:07:49.905 --> 00:07:51.773
That really happened to me. for ten years,
00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:52.774
For ten years, our television
00:07:52.841 --> 00:07:53.742
Our television ministry struggled,
00:07:53.808 --> 00:07:55.510
Ministry struggled, and for ten years,
00:07:55.577 --> 00:07:56.411
And for ten years, it was in the red,
00:07:56.478 --> 00:07:57.979
It was in the red, and for ten years,
00:07:58.046 --> 00:07:59.581
And for ten years, it bumped along,
00:07:59.648 --> 00:08:00.982
It bumped along, it had downs,
00:08:01.049 --> 00:08:02.417
It had downs, and highs, and lows,
00:08:02.484 --> 00:08:04.386
And highs, and lows, and it was no consistency.
00:08:04.452 --> 00:08:05.954
And it was no consistency. it was always a challenge.
00:08:06.021 --> 00:08:07.622
It was always a challenge. i wanted to quit so many times.
00:08:07.689 --> 00:08:09.691
I wanted to quit so many times. and you know why?
00:08:09.758 --> 00:08:10.258
And you know why? the spirit of lack.
00:08:10.325 --> 00:08:11.593
The spirit of lack. the spirit of lack
00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:12.627
The spirit of lack kept saying, "look.
00:08:12.694 --> 00:08:13.461
Kept saying, "look. look how much --
00:08:13.528 --> 00:08:14.262
Look how much -- look, look.
00:08:14.329 --> 00:08:16.498
Look, look. you're not as -- you're not --
00:08:16.565 --> 00:08:17.699
You're not as -- you're not -- it's not doing anything.
00:08:17.766 --> 00:08:18.800
It's not doing anything. nobody's gonna help you.
00:08:18.867 --> 00:08:20.101
Nobody's gonna help you. you're not gonna
00:08:20.168 --> 00:08:21.036
You're not gonna be able to sustain this."
00:08:21.102 --> 00:08:22.938
Be able to sustain this." and so, we had brought
00:08:23.004 --> 00:08:24.039
And so, we had brought this property that we're on,
00:08:24.105 --> 00:08:25.340
This property that we're on, the 150 acres that
00:08:25.407 --> 00:08:26.741
The 150 acres that we're on now,
00:08:26.808 --> 00:08:27.976
We're on now, and we were building
00:08:28.043 --> 00:08:29.344
And we were building this sanctuary,
00:08:29.411 --> 00:08:31.646
This sanctuary, this building right here.
00:08:31.713 --> 00:08:33.114
This building right here. and the beams were up,
00:08:33.181 --> 00:08:34.616
And the beams were up, and some of the pouring
00:08:34.683 --> 00:08:35.917
And some of the pouring was up,
00:08:35.984 --> 00:08:37.185
Was up, the cement slab --
00:08:37.252 --> 00:08:39.588
The cement slab -- here in gainesville,
00:08:39.654 --> 00:08:40.589
Here in gainesville, for those of you who are
00:08:40.655 --> 00:08:41.356
For those of you who are joining us at all
00:08:41.423 --> 00:08:41.990
Joining us at all of our campuses,
00:08:42.057 --> 00:08:43.224
Of our campuses, the slab was all that
00:08:43.291 --> 00:08:44.492
The slab was all that we had in here.
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.261
We had in here. and i walked into
00:08:46.328 --> 00:08:47.696
And i walked into the other building
00:08:47.762 --> 00:08:48.630
The other building where there's a little studio,
00:08:48.697 --> 00:08:50.332
Where there's a little studio, you could call it a studio,
00:08:50.398 --> 00:08:52.100
You could call it a studio, it's just a room with a high --
00:08:52.167 --> 00:08:54.002
It's just a room with a high -- we didn't have a lot of money
00:08:54.069 --> 00:08:55.837
We didn't have a lot of money to do that when you're
00:08:55.904 --> 00:08:57.405
To do that when you're doing a 24 million dollar
00:08:57.472 --> 00:08:59.274
Doing a 24 million dollar building program right here.
00:08:59.341 --> 00:09:02.277
Building program right here. and we had paid
00:09:02.344 --> 00:09:03.244
And we had paid that building off,
00:09:03.311 --> 00:09:04.145
That building off, and we were wise.
00:09:04.212 --> 00:09:04.980
And we were wise. we knew we could afford it
00:09:05.046 --> 00:09:06.481
We knew we could afford it and had all the financing.
00:09:06.548 --> 00:09:08.049
And had all the financing. but just hear me a minute.
00:09:08.116 --> 00:09:09.551
But just hear me a minute. so, i walked into the studio
00:09:09.618 --> 00:09:12.988
So, i walked into the studio over there,
00:09:13.054 --> 00:09:13.755
Over there, which is a little room.
00:09:13.822 --> 00:09:15.423
Which is a little room. and i sat down,
00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:17.092
And i sat down, and at the time,
00:09:17.158 --> 00:09:18.059
And at the time, we had equipment that
00:09:18.126 --> 00:09:19.194
We had equipment that was ten years old.
00:09:19.260 --> 00:09:22.631
Was ten years old. every camera.
00:09:22.697 --> 00:09:24.232
Every camera. and there was duct tape
00:09:24.299 --> 00:09:27.002
And there was duct tape everywhere i looked.
00:09:27.068 --> 00:09:28.103
Everywhere i looked. they didn't know i --
00:09:28.169 --> 00:09:29.638
They didn't know i -- you know,
00:09:29.704 --> 00:09:30.338
You know, we were just getting ready
00:09:30.405 --> 00:09:30.972
We were just getting ready to turn the cameras on,
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:31.873
To turn the cameras on, and i was going to do
00:09:31.940 --> 00:09:32.707
And i was going to do some in and outs
00:09:32.774 --> 00:09:33.408
Some in and outs for some tv shows.
00:09:33.475 --> 00:09:35.176
For some tv shows. and i'm sitting there,
00:09:35.243 --> 00:09:35.777
And i'm sitting there, and i look,
00:09:35.844 --> 00:09:36.611
And i look, and i see duct tape on
00:09:36.678 --> 00:09:38.413
And i see duct tape on this camera,
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:39.648
This camera, i see duct tape on that cable,
00:09:39.714 --> 00:09:41.249
I see duct tape on that cable, i see duct tape
00:09:41.316 --> 00:09:42.183
I see duct tape on that machine,
00:09:42.250 --> 00:09:43.251
On that machine, i see duct tape on
00:09:43.318 --> 00:09:44.452
I see duct tape on a tripod holding the camera.
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.388
A tripod holding the camera. and then i looked and the tv
00:09:46.454 --> 00:09:48.990
And then i looked and the tv director guy,
00:09:49.057 --> 00:09:50.558
Director guy, the guy who did everything,
00:09:50.625 --> 00:09:51.526
The guy who did everything, 'cause he had to do everything.
00:09:51.593 --> 00:09:52.694
'cause he had to do everything. we didn't have much of a staff.
00:09:52.761 --> 00:09:53.595
We didn't have much of a staff. we had a lot of volunteers.
00:09:53.662 --> 00:09:54.996
We had a lot of volunteers. and he had a big roll of duct
00:09:55.063 --> 00:09:58.933
And he had a big roll of duct tape on his belt that he
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.403
Tape on his belt that he had clicked on to his belt.
00:10:01.469 --> 00:10:05.507
Had clicked on to his belt. and it felt like i heard
00:10:05.573 --> 00:10:07.509
And it felt like i heard the lord say,
00:10:07.575 --> 00:10:10.078
The lord say, "do you know what kind
00:10:10.145 --> 00:10:10.745
"do you know what kind of faith you have?
00:10:10.812 --> 00:10:14.482
Of faith you have? you have duct tape faith."
00:10:14.549 --> 00:10:15.950
[laughter]
00:10:16.384 --> 00:10:18.219
That's why you see
00:10:18.653 --> 00:10:19.688
That's why you see some duct tape here,
00:10:19.754 --> 00:10:21.489
Some duct tape here, and duct tape there,
00:10:21.556 --> 00:10:22.624
And duct tape there, duct tape everywhere.
00:10:22.691 --> 00:10:23.658
Duct tape everywhere. i felt like old macdonald.
00:10:23.725 --> 00:10:25.393
I felt like old macdonald. duct tape was all
00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:27.095
Duct tape was all over the place.
00:10:27.162 --> 00:10:30.965
Over the place. and it just hit
00:10:31.032 --> 00:10:32.701
And it just hit me wrong that day.
00:10:32.767 --> 00:10:35.437
Me wrong that day. and the lord, kinda,
00:10:35.503 --> 00:10:36.137
And the lord, kinda, impressed me.
00:10:36.204 --> 00:10:38.773
Impressed me. "you know,
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:39.607
"you know, you don't even see anything
00:10:39.674 --> 00:10:42.410
You don't even see anything beyond this because you
00:10:42.477 --> 00:10:44.145
Beyond this because you think that i can't
00:10:44.212 --> 00:10:46.381
Think that i can't do it all now."
00:10:46.448 --> 00:10:47.582
Do it all now." i said --
00:10:47.649 --> 00:10:48.083
I said -- now, i'm reminding god,
00:10:48.149 --> 00:10:49.584
Now, i'm reminding god, "i'm in a building program
00:10:49.651 --> 00:10:50.819
"i'm in a building program trying to obey you."
00:10:50.885 --> 00:10:53.354
Trying to obey you." you know,
00:10:53.421 --> 00:10:53.788
You know, like when you have a need,
00:10:53.855 --> 00:10:54.622
Like when you have a need, i'm trying
00:10:54.689 --> 00:10:55.356
I'm trying to preach to you.
00:10:55.423 --> 00:10:55.924
To preach to you. i'm telling you,
00:10:55.990 --> 00:10:57.125
I'm telling you, the lord wanted us to spread
00:10:57.192 --> 00:10:58.827
The lord wanted us to spread abroad to the nations
00:10:58.893 --> 00:11:00.095
Abroad to the nations of the world,
00:11:00.161 --> 00:11:01.029
Of the world, but the enemy came
00:11:01.096 --> 00:11:02.097
But the enemy came with a spirit of lack,
00:11:02.163 --> 00:11:03.498
With a spirit of lack, and something hit me,
00:11:03.565 --> 00:11:05.200
And something hit me, and i prayed about
00:11:05.266 --> 00:11:05.767
And i prayed about it for several days.
00:11:05.834 --> 00:11:07.268
It for several days. and the lord laid on my heart
00:11:07.335 --> 00:11:08.770
And the lord laid on my heart a message,
00:11:08.837 --> 00:11:09.738
A message, and i told the director,
00:11:09.804 --> 00:11:10.972
And i told the director, i said, "we're not
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:11.873
I said, "we're not going in the studio.
00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:13.241
Going in the studio. we're going over."
00:11:13.308 --> 00:11:14.042
We're going over." and i got,
00:11:14.109 --> 00:11:14.843
And i got, right in this area,
00:11:14.909 --> 00:11:16.511
Right in this area, right here that i'm
00:11:16.578 --> 00:11:17.545
Right here that i'm preaching to,
00:11:17.612 --> 00:11:18.613
Preaching to, all you folks in
00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:19.681
All you folks in this main area right here,
00:11:19.748 --> 00:11:21.683
This main area right here, about where the break
00:11:21.750 --> 00:11:23.184
About where the break is back there,
00:11:23.251 --> 00:11:23.885
Is back there, maybe a little bit down,
00:11:23.952 --> 00:11:26.187
Maybe a little bit down, there were no seats,
00:11:26.254 --> 00:11:27.589
There were no seats, there was no carpet,
00:11:27.655 --> 00:11:29.224
There was no carpet, there was nothing but
00:11:29.290 --> 00:11:30.225
There was nothing but a cement floor
00:11:30.291 --> 00:11:31.860
A cement floor and these big walls.
00:11:31.926 --> 00:11:34.095
And these big walls. no windows, anything.
00:11:34.162 --> 00:11:35.730
No windows, anything. and i told him to set
00:11:35.797 --> 00:11:36.998
And i told him to set up those two,
00:11:37.065 --> 00:11:37.999
Up those two, and he had extra tape that day.
00:11:38.066 --> 00:11:39.801
And he had extra tape that day. "set up those two."
00:11:39.868 --> 00:11:41.035
"set up those two." and we filmed a message,
00:11:41.102 --> 00:11:44.339
And we filmed a message, and i told the people.
00:11:44.405 --> 00:11:45.607
And i told the people. i said, "i don't know
00:11:45.673 --> 00:11:46.574
I said, "i don't know what else to do.
00:11:46.641 --> 00:11:48.009
What else to do. we're in a major
00:11:48.076 --> 00:11:49.277
We're in a major building program,
00:11:49.344 --> 00:11:50.378
Building program, our television ministry
00:11:50.445 --> 00:11:52.080
Our television ministry is not doing what we need to do,
00:11:52.147 --> 00:11:55.216
Is not doing what we need to do, and i don't have
00:11:55.283 --> 00:11:56.317
And i don't have the money to pay.
00:11:56.384 --> 00:11:57.218
The money to pay. and i'm not a beggar.
00:11:57.285 --> 00:11:58.753
And i'm not a beggar. i'm not gonna beg.
00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:00.054
I'm not gonna beg. i won't be on tv.
00:12:00.121 --> 00:12:01.756
I won't be on tv. and i can't promise
00:12:01.823 --> 00:12:02.390
And i can't promise you a cadillac
00:12:02.457 --> 00:12:03.792
You a cadillac if you give
00:12:03.858 --> 00:12:04.492
If you give to this ministry either."
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.661
To this ministry either." but i said,
00:12:06.728 --> 00:12:07.862
But i said, "if god speaks to you and you
00:12:07.929 --> 00:12:10.098
"if god speaks to you and you believe that we should be on tv,
00:12:10.165 --> 00:12:14.002
Believe that we should be on tv, i need your help.
00:12:14.068 --> 00:12:15.236
I need your help. help."
00:12:15.303 --> 00:12:16.371
Help." that's all i said.
00:12:16.437 --> 00:12:18.406
That's all i said. and do you know,
00:12:18.473 --> 00:12:19.107
And do you know, in 30 days,
00:12:19.174 --> 00:12:20.775
In 30 days, we received --
00:12:20.842 --> 00:12:21.910
We received -- we had never had anything
00:12:21.976 --> 00:12:23.111
We had never had anything like this happen,
00:12:23.178 --> 00:12:24.145
Like this happen, 1.3 million dollars.
00:12:24.212 --> 00:12:28.049
1.3 million dollars. and we bought the cameras
00:12:28.116 --> 00:12:29.484
And we bought the cameras that we needed.
00:12:29.551 --> 00:12:30.351
[applause]
00:12:30.785 --> 00:12:33.188
And i heard the lord,
00:12:33.321 --> 00:12:34.189
And i heard the lord, and i looked in that camera,
00:12:34.255 --> 00:12:35.490
And i looked in that camera, and i said,
00:12:35.557 --> 00:12:36.124
And i said, "god told me that
00:12:36.191 --> 00:12:37.759
"god told me that he was gonna take the duct
00:12:37.826 --> 00:12:39.260
He was gonna take the duct tape off of this ministry."
00:12:39.327 --> 00:12:42.063
Tape off of this ministry." and i wanna tell you,
00:12:42.130 --> 00:12:43.064
And i wanna tell you, he did that day.
00:12:43.131 --> 00:12:44.332
He did that day. and he has never --
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.301
And he has never -- it has never come
00:12:46.367 --> 00:12:47.335
It has never come back on us for the glory
00:12:47.402 --> 00:12:48.436
Back on us for the glory of god.
00:12:48.503 --> 00:12:49.971
Of god. i'm glad that we
00:12:50.038 --> 00:12:51.406
I'm glad that we kept spreading abroad.
00:12:51.472 --> 00:12:53.107
Kept spreading abroad. come on, somebody.
00:12:53.174 --> 00:12:54.642
Come on, somebody. i'm glad we didn't give up.
00:12:54.709 --> 00:12:56.945
I'm glad we didn't give up. i'm glad that right when
00:12:57.011 --> 00:12:58.446
I'm glad that right when i didn't have enough,
00:12:58.513 --> 00:13:00.048
I didn't have enough, god had more than enough.
00:13:00.114 --> 00:13:02.450
God had more than enough. and he's telling some of you,
00:13:02.517 --> 00:13:04.085
And he's telling some of you, "don't you let the spirit
00:13:04.152 --> 00:13:05.453
"don't you let the spirit of lack make
00:13:05.520 --> 00:13:07.155
Of lack make you put your head down."
00:13:07.222 --> 00:13:08.223
You put your head down." if god's giving you
00:13:08.289 --> 00:13:09.591
If god's giving you a vision to spread out,
00:13:09.657 --> 00:13:12.093
A vision to spread out, and to increase and enlarge,
00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:14.195
And to increase and enlarge, you need to say,
00:13:14.262 --> 00:13:15.663
You need to say, "the lord is my shepherd,
00:13:15.730 --> 00:13:17.131
"the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want."
00:13:17.198 --> 00:13:19.968
I shall not want." i'm not telling you
00:13:20.034 --> 00:13:20.969
I'm not telling you something i read
00:13:21.035 --> 00:13:21.836
Something i read in a book.
00:13:21.903 --> 00:13:22.670
In a book. you're sitting in a miracle.
00:13:22.737 --> 00:13:24.405
You're sitting in a miracle. this is a story to you,
00:13:24.472 --> 00:13:25.640
This is a story to you, it's a miracle to me
00:13:25.707 --> 00:13:27.408
It's a miracle to me because i watched god
00:13:27.475 --> 00:13:29.177
Because i watched god break duct tape.
00:13:29.244 --> 00:13:33.114
Break duct tape. and you know, the second horn
00:13:33.181 --> 00:13:38.119
And you know, the second horn that we encountered was what i'm
00:13:38.186 --> 00:13:40.989
That we encountered was what i'm gonna call the spirit
00:13:41.055 --> 00:13:42.090
Gonna call the spirit of limitation.
00:13:42.156 --> 00:13:44.626
Of limitation. if the spirit of lack
00:13:44.692 --> 00:13:45.827
If the spirit of lack can't stop you,
00:13:45.894 --> 00:13:47.228
Can't stop you, gotta push on
00:13:47.295 --> 00:13:48.062
Gotta push on through that one.
00:13:48.129 --> 00:13:49.697
Through that one. keep believing god,
00:13:49.764 --> 00:13:51.232
Keep believing god, and work hard,
00:13:51.299 --> 00:13:53.902
And work hard, and pray for wisdom.
00:13:53.968 --> 00:13:57.438
And pray for wisdom. but the second thing that we had
00:13:57.505 --> 00:13:59.173
But the second thing that we had to break through was
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.375
To break through was the spirit of limitation.
00:14:00.441 --> 00:14:02.610
The spirit of limitation. the spirit of limitation says,
00:14:02.677 --> 00:14:03.878
The spirit of limitation says, "i know god can supply the need,
00:14:03.945 --> 00:14:06.047
"i know god can supply the need, but he won't do it for me."
00:14:06.114 --> 00:14:07.615
But he won't do it for me." he'll do it for others,
00:14:07.682 --> 00:14:08.716
He'll do it for others, but he won't bless me.
00:14:08.783 --> 00:14:11.920
But he won't bless me. the spirit of limitation
00:14:11.986 --> 00:14:13.288
The spirit of limitation puts a ceiling on your life.
00:14:13.354 --> 00:14:16.891
Puts a ceiling on your life. you can go this far
00:14:16.958 --> 00:14:18.092
You can go this far but you can't go any further.
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.763
But you can't go any further. and i heard a story one time
00:14:21.829 --> 00:14:23.932
And i heard a story one time and saw a program
00:14:23.998 --> 00:14:25.199
And saw a program one time about an
00:14:25.266 --> 00:14:27.635
One time about an elephant trainer.
00:14:27.702 --> 00:14:30.071
Elephant trainer. and he had this huge bull male
00:14:30.138 --> 00:14:34.208
And he had this huge bull male elephant with large husks,
00:14:34.275 --> 00:14:37.378
Elephant with large husks, mighty and strong.
00:14:37.445 --> 00:14:39.614
Mighty and strong. and he had a rope,
00:14:39.681 --> 00:14:40.381
And he had a rope, just a rope around
00:14:40.448 --> 00:14:42.116
Just a rope around its massive leg.
00:14:42.183 --> 00:14:44.419
Its massive leg. and the rope was tied
00:14:44.485 --> 00:14:46.387
And the rope was tied to a cement block
00:14:46.454 --> 00:14:48.256
To a cement block that was about from here
00:14:48.323 --> 00:14:49.724
That was about from here to that piano over there.
00:14:49.791 --> 00:14:52.327
To that piano over there. and he said,
00:14:52.393 --> 00:14:52.994
And he said, "this trained animal,
00:14:53.061 --> 00:14:55.763
"this trained animal, this massive, strong,
00:14:55.830 --> 00:14:57.098
This massive, strong, powerful elephant will only walk
00:14:57.165 --> 00:15:00.702
Powerful elephant will only walk this far,
00:15:00.768 --> 00:15:01.402
This far, and the moment he feels
00:15:01.469 --> 00:15:02.971
And the moment he feels the tug on his leg
00:15:03.037 --> 00:15:04.772
The tug on his leg of that rope,"
00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:05.840
Of that rope," he could break that rope
00:15:05.907 --> 00:15:07.175
He could break that rope any time he wanted to.
00:15:07.241 --> 00:15:09.110
Any time he wanted to. and he said,
00:15:09.177 --> 00:15:09.577
And he said, "there came a moment
00:15:09.644 --> 00:15:10.945
"there came a moment where mentally,
00:15:11.012 --> 00:15:12.246
Where mentally, that elephant accepted,
00:15:12.313 --> 00:15:14.515
That elephant accepted, 'this is the limit.
00:15:14.582 --> 00:15:16.517
'this is the limit. i'll never go any further than
00:15:16.584 --> 00:15:18.853
I'll never go any further than where i am right now.
00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:22.490
Where i am right now. and that is exactly --
00:15:22.557 --> 00:15:24.592
And that is exactly -- that second horn
00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:25.827
That second horn is a horn of limitation.
00:15:25.893 --> 00:15:29.931
Is a horn of limitation. but every once in a while,
00:15:29.998 --> 00:15:31.599
But every once in a while, you just start accepting
00:15:31.666 --> 00:15:33.501
You just start accepting the limitations on life.
00:15:33.568 --> 00:15:35.737
The limitations on life. you stop --
00:15:35.803 --> 00:15:36.804
You stop -- to start settling.
00:15:36.871 --> 00:15:38.206
To start settling. you start saying,
00:15:38.272 --> 00:15:39.007
You start saying, "well, i've gone this far,
00:15:39.073 --> 00:15:40.541
"well, i've gone this far, and you know i didn't think
00:15:40.608 --> 00:15:41.642
And you know i didn't think i'd get this far so --
00:15:41.709 --> 00:15:42.844
I'd get this far so -- and then now,
00:15:42.910 --> 00:15:43.745
And then now, now, there's a --
00:15:43.811 --> 00:15:44.712
Now, there's a -- you know,
00:15:44.779 --> 00:15:45.513
You know, i don't think i can go.
00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:46.547
I don't think i can go. i don't think i can do that.
00:15:46.614 --> 00:15:47.648
I don't think i can do that. i don't think i'm capable
00:15:47.715 --> 00:15:48.950
I don't think i'm capable of that."
00:15:49.017 --> 00:15:49.851
Of that." but every once in a while,
00:15:49.917 --> 00:15:51.319
But every once in a while, you gotta push
00:15:51.386 --> 00:15:52.253
You gotta push on the limitations.
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.223
On the limitations. faith never settles.
00:15:55.289 --> 00:15:58.393
Faith never settles. god said, "spread abroad,"
00:15:58.459 --> 00:16:00.995
God said, "spread abroad," not "stay where
00:16:01.062 --> 00:16:01.929
Not "stay where you are comfortable
00:16:01.996 --> 00:16:03.431
You are comfortable and safe and sure and secure."
00:16:03.498 --> 00:16:07.935
And safe and sure and secure." so, when i did that,
00:16:08.002 --> 00:16:09.971
So, when i did that, and i pushed on the limitations
00:16:10.038 --> 00:16:11.305
And i pushed on the limitations and i preached that sermon,
00:16:11.372 --> 00:16:14.809
And i preached that sermon, once of the first letters
00:16:14.876 --> 00:16:16.677
Once of the first letters that we got was
00:16:16.744 --> 00:16:17.712
That we got was from a 73-year-old woman
00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:22.683
From a 73-year-old woman who sent a letter,
00:16:22.750 --> 00:16:24.652
Who sent a letter, and she addressed it and said,
00:16:24.719 --> 00:16:27.789
And she addressed it and said, "please get," --
00:16:27.855 --> 00:16:29.157
"please get," -- wrote a little note.
00:16:29.223 --> 00:16:30.425
Wrote a little note. "please tell that preacher
00:16:30.491 --> 00:16:32.860
"please tell that preacher that little preacher,
00:16:32.927 --> 00:16:35.763
That little preacher, that i went and got $1,000 --
00:16:35.830 --> 00:16:39.100
That i went and got $1,000 -- god told me to go
00:16:39.167 --> 00:16:40.868
God told me to go get a $1,000 bill.
00:16:40.935 --> 00:16:44.772
Get a $1,000 bill. and tell him
00:16:44.839 --> 00:16:45.907
And tell him i hope he never uses it.
00:16:45.973 --> 00:16:49.077
I hope he never uses it. i want him to put it on the wall
00:16:49.143 --> 00:16:52.280
I want him to put it on the wall in his office to always remind
00:16:52.346 --> 00:16:55.383
In his office to always remind him that if god tells you
00:16:55.450 --> 00:16:58.119
Him that if god tells you to do something,
00:16:58.186 --> 00:16:59.454
To do something, the resources are
00:16:59.520 --> 00:17:01.322
The resources are already there."

This is in the book of acts. the apostle paul said,
00:18:29.577 --> 00:18:30.845
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
00:18:47.161 --> 00:18:48.229
And i said i wasn't gon' use him in this service 'cause i didn't
00:18:48.296 --> 00:18:50.565
In this service 'cause i didn't think about it when
00:18:50.631 --> 00:18:51.299
Think about it when i called him.
00:18:51.365 --> 00:18:51.899

The spirit of lack. god began to supply our needs.

God began to supply our needs. and then we started breaking

That second horn. and then it was like
00:19:09.483 --> 00:19:11.919
And then it was like a hindering spirit.
00:19:11.986 --> 00:19:15.022

It's like we knew we had momentum going with us,
00:19:23.130 --> 00:19:24.498
Momentum going with us, and we would try to go,
