- Give him things without him having first given us.
- 00:00:56.605 --> 00:01:01.477

- If i'm gonna be like god, i gotta be a giver.

- When i first met him, he was a giver.
- 00:01:12.654 --> 00:01:15.357
- The first thing i learned about him is that he created the seas
- 00:01:15.357 --> 00:01:18.660
- And the oceans and the winds and the waves and the satellites and
- 00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:22.331
- The sun and the heat in the morning and the wind and he did

- It all for me to climatize the atmosphere just to the degree
- 00:01:26.935 --> 00:01:31.707
- That it never got so cold it killed me, or so hot that it
- 00:01:31.707 --> 00:01:34.910
- Scorched me, when it was climate control, and he put me into an
- 00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:39.081
- Environment from which he created me because you exist
- 00:01:39.081 --> 00:01:43.252
- Best in environments from which you were created.
- 00:01:43.252 --> 00:01:50.592
- It's hard to exist in an environment you were
- 00:01:50.592 --> 00:01:53.462
- Not created.
- 00:01:53.462 --> 00:01:54.897
- If you were not created in the upper echelon, you feel funny in
- 00:01:54.897 --> 00:01:58.634
- The upper echelon.
- 00:01:58.634 --> 00:02:00.035
- If you were not created and raised in the ghetto, you feel
- 00:02:00.035 --> 00:02:02.638
- Funny in the ghetto.
- 00:02:02.638 --> 00:02:03.972
- If you were not created in the ocean, you after--you can swim
- 00:02:03.972 --> 00:02:06.842
- A while, but after a while, you're gonna have to get up out
- 00:02:06.842 --> 00:02:09.178
- Of there because you're an imposter.
- 00:02:09.178 --> 00:02:11.046
- The fish can swim for years and years and years because he was
- 00:02:11.046 --> 00:02:14.883
- Created in the water.
- 00:02:14.883 --> 00:02:16.318
- He was conceived in the water.
- 00:02:16.318 --> 00:02:18.153
- He was hatched in the water.
- 00:02:18.153 --> 00:02:19.922
- He was born in the water.
- 00:02:19.922 --> 00:02:21.423
- You can only thrive in what you are created in and to make sure

- That we thrived in the environment that he created for
- 00:02:27.729 --> 00:02:31.366
- Us, he then scooped up the earth and made us out of it so that we
- 00:02:31.366 --> 00:02:36.772
- Would be kin to it so that it is not just that god gave me the
- 00:02:36.772 --> 00:02:41.243
- Universe, god created me out of the universe and out of the dust
- 00:02:41.243 --> 00:02:46.348
- God created man and he became a living soul and he breathed into
- 00:02:46.348 --> 00:02:51.119
- Him the breath of lives and he became a living soul.
- 00:02:51.119 --> 00:02:54.556
- And adam woke up and said, "all of this for me?
- 00:02:54.556 --> 00:03:00.095
- All these waterfalls and mountaintops and streams and
- 00:03:00.095 --> 00:03:04.900
- Rivers for me?
- 00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:06.301
- All these trees and mountains and sunsets for me?
- 00:03:06.301 --> 00:03:10.906
- All this crashing of water against the rocks, dashing,
- 00:03:10.906 --> 00:03:14.676
- For me?
- 00:03:14.676 --> 00:03:16.044
- You mean the dew that falls like mist in the morning was all done
- 00:03:16.044 --> 00:03:19.047
- For me?
- 00:03:19.047 --> 00:03:20.382
- You created every flower, every blossom, every tree, for me?"
- 00:03:20.382 --> 00:03:26.021
- And god said, "i love you like that," because god is a giver.
- 00:03:26.021 --> 00:03:30.659
- He is a giver.
- 00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:31.994
- Understanding that he is a giver and then he gave it to us and
- 00:03:31.994 --> 00:03:36.398
- Said, "i want you to be fruitful.
- 00:03:36.398 --> 00:03:38.000
- I want you to multiply.
- 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.568
- I want you to replenish, subdue, and have dominion."
- 00:03:39.568 --> 00:03:43.005
- He said, "i'm gonna make you the boss of it.
- 00:03:43.005 --> 00:03:45.274
- I'm gonna put you in charge of it."
- 00:03:45.274 --> 00:03:47.075
- God said, "i created a kingdom, a king's domain, and then gave
- 00:03:47.075 --> 00:03:52.614
- You dominion and you're large and in charge."
- 00:03:52.614 --> 00:03:57.219
- So the first gift that he gives us is that he gives us
- 00:03:57.219 --> 00:04:00.622
- A creation.
- 00:04:00.622 --> 00:04:01.957
- The second gift he gives us in genesis is he gives
- 00:04:01.957 --> 00:04:05.160
- Us redemption.
- 00:04:05.160 --> 00:04:07.462
- For when adam messed up the first gift, god said, "that's
- 00:04:07.462 --> 00:04:11.300
- All right.
- 00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:12.668
- I got another one."
- 00:04:12.668 --> 00:04:14.002
- He walked through the cool of the garden and found adam in his
- 00:04:14.002 --> 00:04:16.538
- Sin and his nakedness and said, "adam, you can't gift your way
- 00:04:16.538 --> 00:04:21.209
- Out of this.
- 00:04:21.209 --> 00:04:22.544
- I've got to give you a gift that'll get you out of this.
- 00:04:22.544 --> 00:04:25.480
- Because if you can gift your way out of this, that will be works.
- 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.217
- I gotta teach you grace.
- 00:04:29.217 --> 00:04:30.652
- So i'm gonna give you something you don't even deserve."
- 00:04:30.652 --> 00:04:33.255
- And the voice of the lord walked through the cool of the garden
- 00:04:33.255 --> 00:04:36.325
- And he found redemption and he came and dressed man in custom
- 00:04:36.325 --> 00:04:41.530
- Clothed fur and we call it redemption.
- 00:04:41.530 --> 00:04:46.068
- And it was the second gift and then there was the third gift.
- 00:04:46.068 --> 00:04:49.104
- The third gift was the gift given to the deceived eve to
- 00:04:49.104 --> 00:04:53.442
- Regenerate the species from creation to redemption
- 00:04:53.442 --> 00:04:58.380
- To regeneration.
- 00:04:58.380 --> 00:04:59.748
- He says, "i invite you as a woman to partner with me in a
- 00:04:59.748 --> 00:05:05.654
- Limited liability partnership where we are going to partner to
- 00:05:05.654 --> 00:05:10.625
- Create life, we are going to re-gene-erate."
- 00:05:10.625 --> 00:05:19.468
- Are you with me this morning?
- 00:05:19.468 --> 00:05:21.002
- I didn't--i didn't bring you a happy meal.
- 00:05:21.002 --> 00:05:23.472
- I didn't bring you a bologna sandwich this morning.
- 00:05:23.472 --> 00:05:26.041
- I didn't bring you anything like that.
- 00:05:26.041 --> 00:05:27.409
- I didn't pack a hot dog this morning.
- 00:05:27.409 --> 00:05:28.977
- All you peanut butter and jelly people, y'all might as well
- 00:05:28.977 --> 00:05:31.513
- Click off.
- 00:05:31.513 --> 00:05:32.848
- I came to bring a seven-course meal to you to make you
- 00:05:32.848 --> 00:05:36.518
- Understand that god so loved you that he kept giving and giving
- 00:05:36.518 --> 00:05:41.757
- And giving and giving and giving and giving and giving.
- 00:05:41.757 --> 00:05:46.161
- And that's what this season is all about, because jesus is a
- 00:05:46.161 --> 00:05:52.868
- Gift from god.
- 00:05:52.868 --> 00:05:55.570
- He is still god giving from genesis to revelation.
- 00:05:55.570 --> 00:06:00.342
- God never diminishes in his generosity.
- 00:06:00.342 --> 00:06:03.945
- He never depletes his resources, nor runs out of compassion.
- 00:06:03.945 --> 00:06:07.349
- His mercies are new every morning.
- 00:06:07.349 --> 00:06:09.484
- And even as we celebrate this season in our lives, you must
- 00:06:09.484 --> 00:06:12.821
- Understand that christ himself is god making himself a gift
- 00:06:12.821 --> 00:06:18.026
- To us.
- 00:06:18.026 --> 00:06:20.162
- That god steps down into a virgin and says, "i need some
- 00:06:20.162 --> 00:06:24.800
- Wrapping paper," and flips around inside of her womb and
- 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.705
- Wraps himself up in humanity.
- 00:06:30.705 --> 00:06:33.575
- And all of a sudden, god comes stepping from eternity into
- 00:06:33.575 --> 00:06:37.312
- Time, all wrapped up in human form.
- 00:06:37.312 --> 00:06:40.549
- Emanuel was a gift to us, and heaven started singing and
- 00:06:40.549 --> 00:06:48.256
- Angels started rejoicing because god had given the ultimate gift.
- 00:06:48.256 --> 00:06:53.328
- Now, god has made himself a gift.
- 00:06:53.328 --> 00:06:56.531
- Who are you a gift to?
- 00:06:56.531 --> 00:07:01.937
- If you are a christian, which means you are christ-like, you
- 00:07:01.937 --> 00:07:06.708
- Ought to be a gift to somebody.
- 00:07:06.708 --> 00:07:09.211
- How have you given yourself lately to someone?
- 00:07:09.211 --> 00:07:18.186
- Because jesus is of--if god made himself a gift, then surely
- 00:07:18.186 --> 00:07:24.459
- The people who worship god must make themselves a gift, not
- 00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:28.864
- A liability.
- 00:07:28.864 --> 00:07:32.400
- Not a liability.
- 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:33.735
- You need to be an asset every day.
- 00:07:33.735 --> 00:07:35.637
- You need to be a gift to somebody every day.
- 00:07:35.637 --> 00:07:38.306
- You need to wrap yourself up in forms beyond your normal purview
- 00:07:38.306 --> 00:07:43.545
- And give yourself to somebody.
- 00:07:43.545 --> 00:07:45.680
- That's why jesus later girds himself with a towel and gets
- 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.651
- Down on his knees and starts washing feet because it's always
- 00:07:49.651 --> 00:07:53.388
- About wrapping yourself in whatever you need to be wrapped
- 00:07:53.388 --> 00:07:56.157
- In, in order to present yourself a sacrifice.
- 00:07:56.157 --> 00:07:59.728
- Because god never gives us an unwrapped gift.
- 00:07:59.728 --> 00:08:06.034
- And that's what jesus is.
- 00:08:06.034 --> 00:08:08.937
- Jesus is god's wrapped gift and that's what the christian
- 00:08:08.937 --> 00:08:14.442
- Creation was.
- 00:08:14.442 --> 00:08:15.810
- God wrapping a world to give to his son.
- 00:08:15.810 --> 00:08:19.714
- God is always giving.
- 00:08:19.714 --> 00:08:22.684
- He's always giving gifts.
- 00:08:22.684 --> 00:08:25.186
- He's always giving things like in shadows and types, god is
- 00:08:25.186 --> 00:08:30.025
- Giving things.
- 00:08:30.025 --> 00:08:31.359
- That's why he had jacob to give joseph the coat of many colors.
- 00:08:31.359 --> 00:08:36.865
- Yeah, yeah, because he is a giver and he is always giving to
- 00:08:36.865 --> 00:08:41.336
- His people and he gives it to the boy while he is yet a child.
- 00:08:41.336 --> 00:08:48.076
- Great god of mercy.
- 00:08:48.076 --> 00:08:50.478
- I wonder did jacob know that he was acting like god when he made
- 00:08:50.478 --> 00:08:54.983
- A coat of many colors for a kid.
- 00:08:54.983 --> 00:08:59.220
- A kid that would become the prince of egypt is crowned ahead
- 00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:04.025
- Of time with a gift beyond his years.
- 00:09:04.025 --> 00:09:08.697
- Great god almighty.
- 00:09:08.697 --> 00:09:10.732
- When god gifts a gift for you, it doesn't just have the present
- 00:09:10.732 --> 00:09:14.903
- In mind.
- 00:09:14.903 --> 00:09:16.237
- It has the future in mind.
- 00:09:16.237 --> 00:09:18.239
- When god gives a gift for you, it embraces everything that you
- 00:09:18.239 --> 00:09:22.210
- Shall be.
- 00:09:22.210 --> 00:09:24.846
- When god gives a gift for you, it embraces your destiny and not
- 00:09:24.846 --> 00:09:29.751
- Your history.
- 00:09:29.751 --> 00:09:32.854
- In fact, god will give you something on time that's for
- 00:09:32.854 --> 00:09:37.692
- Another time.
- 00:09:37.692 --> 00:09:39.794
- Oh, y'all didn't hear that.
- 00:09:39.794 --> 00:09:41.396
- That was so good, i got happy myself.
- 00:09:41.396 --> 00:09:43.565
- Don't throw away nothing god gave you.
- 00:09:43.565 --> 00:09:45.800
- Even if it doesn't fit your situation.
- 00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:47.902
- Even if it doesn't make any sense right now, even if you
- 00:09:47.902 --> 00:09:50.572
- Don't understand why god gave you what he gave you, like he
- 00:09:50.572 --> 00:09:53.441
- Gave you, don't throw away anything, even if they laugh at
- 00:09:53.441 --> 00:09:56.878
- It, even if they mock it, even if they make fun of it, even if
- 00:09:56.878 --> 00:10:00.015
- They say you don't need it.
- 00:10:00.015 --> 00:10:01.416
- Hold on to everything god gave you.
- 00:10:01.416 --> 00:10:05.920
- Joseph, the coat might look silly around your brethren.
- 00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:09.591
- But when you're walking around egypt in a chariot behind
- 00:10:09.591 --> 00:10:13.395
- Pharaoh, they will understand that the gift was a
- 00:10:13.395 --> 00:10:16.798
- Prophetic gift.
- 00:10:16.798 --> 00:10:18.133
- I don't know who i'm talking to today.
- 00:10:18.133 --> 00:10:20.402
- You got a gift that doesn't even fit your situation.
- 00:10:20.402 --> 00:10:23.338
- But the gift is a prophetic.
- 00:10:23.338 --> 00:10:28.143
- It is a prophetic gift from god.
- 00:10:29.177 --> 00:10:32.480
- I want you to declare right now, "i am gifted."
- 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.885
- Oh, you said that like abcs.
- 00:10:36.885 --> 00:10:38.820
- Say it like you believe it.

- 00:12:39.674 --> 00:12:44.913
- Of being.
- 00:12:44.913 --> 00:12:46.514
- God will give you a gift ahead of time.
- 00:12:46.514 --> 00:12:48.249
- Let me break that down.
- 00:12:48.249 --> 00:12:49.884
- God will anoint you to be king while you're still a
- 00:12:49.884 --> 00:12:55.557
- Shepherd boy.
- 00:12:55.557 --> 00:12:59.093
- God will put a robe on you to lead egypt while you're still
- 00:12:59.093 --> 00:13:03.698
- Carrying lunches.
- 00:13:03.698 --> 00:13:05.834

- 00:13:05.834 --> 00:13:09.671

- 00:13:09.671 --> 00:13:12.540

- 00:13:15.643 --> 00:13:18.012
- You got.
- 00:13:18.012 --> 00:13:19.514
- But god has already given you something for where he's about
- 00:13:19.514 --> 00:13:22.817
- To take you into.
- 00:13:22.817 --> 00:13:24.485

- They brought a king's gift to a kid.
- 00:13:35.797 --> 00:13:39.167
- And god is famous for bringing gifts ahead of time, for
- 00:13:39.167 --> 00:13:45.707
- Anointing kids to be kings years before they become kings, for
- 00:13:45.707 --> 00:13:51.546

- 00:13:59.087 --> 00:14:03.658
- Don't let anybody make you forfeit what he gave you because
- 00:14:03.658 --> 00:14:07.629
- It doesn't fit where you are.
- 00:14:07.629 --> 00:14:09.530

- 00:14:09.530 --> 00:14:12.267

- Show you why you had to go through everything you had to
- 00:14:42.630 --> 00:14:45.600
- Go through.

- They're acting like they're worshipers, but they're jealous.
- 00:23:04.498 --> 00:23:11.238
- And so the wise men came and when they saw the star, they
- 00:23:15.409 --> 00:23:21.382
- Came to the house.
- 00:23:21.382 --> 00:23:23.284
- I know it wasn't the manger because the bible said it was
- 00:23:23.284 --> 00:23:25.619
- A house.
- 00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:27.388
- I know it wasn't the manger because joseph wasn't there.
- 00:23:27.388 --> 00:23:30.090
- I know some time had passed because later herod would say,
- 00:23:30.090 --> 00:23:35.429
- In order to figure out how old jesus is, "i will kill
- 00:23:35.429 --> 00:23:40.668
- Everything 2 years old or younger,"
- 00:23:40.668 --> 00:23:49.677
- Because the reason herod wasn't sure
- 00:23:52.613 --> 00:23:55.683
- Is because they never came back to tell him
- 00:23:55.683 --> 00:23:59.119
- That they had found jesus because while they were
- 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:03.023
- Worshiping [speaking in tongues]
- 00:24:03.023 --> 00:24:06.360
- While they were worshiping, god told them to go back
- 00:24:06.360 --> 00:24:10.898
- Another way.
- 00:24:10.898 --> 00:24:14.902
- And when i read, "go back another way," god told me to
- 00:24:14.902 --> 00:24:19.540
- Tell you, you are expecting to go back to normal.
- 00:24:19.540 --> 00:24:30.618
- But you are not to cry out for normal, that god is going to
- 00:24:30.684 --> 00:24:38.792
- Take us back [speaking in tongues]
- 00:24:38.792 --> 00:24:45.099
- I feel a spirit of prophecy.
- 00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:47.067
- God is going to take us back another way.
- 00:24:47.067 --> 00:24:50.538
- Because if we go back to normal, there's a trap in normal that
- 00:24:50.538 --> 00:24:56.043
- The enemy has set for our demise.
- 00:24:56.043 --> 00:25:00.080
- We have to be prepared to go back another way, another way,
- 00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:07.688
- Another way, another way, another way, another way,
- 00:25:07.688 --> 00:25:13.427
- [speaking in tongues]
- 00:25:13.427 --> 00:25:14.929
- Another way.
- 00:25:14.929 --> 00:25:17.498
- Now this is against the currency of orthodoxy.
- 00:25:17.498 --> 00:25:21.201
- It is against the grain of normal because people who are
- 00:25:21.201 --> 00:25:25.105
- Normal and traditional are stuck in one way.
- 00:25:25.105 --> 00:25:29.443
- You can only do things one way.
- 00:25:29.443 --> 00:25:31.779
- You can only have church one way.
- 00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:33.948
- You can only do business one way.
- 00:25:33.948 --> 00:25:36.216
- You can only interact with people one way.
- 00:25:36.216 --> 00:25:39.587
- But god said you have got to learn how to get back
- 00:25:39.587 --> 00:25:46.193
- Another way.
- 00:25:46.193 --> 00:25:48.963
- [speaking in tongues]
- 00:25:48.963 --> 00:25:51.131
- So you cannot tell yourself, "i can't help this, this is how
- 00:25:51.131 --> 00:25:54.969
- I am.
- 00:25:54.969 --> 00:25:56.470
- I'm just like my mother.
- 00:25:56.470 --> 00:25:57.805
- I'm just like my grandmother.
- 00:25:57.805 --> 00:25:59.440
- It is what it is. i am what i am."
- 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:01.542
- Said, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
- 00:26:01.542 --> 00:26:04.178
- God said, "you gotta be more flexible than that."
- 00:26:04.178 --> 00:26:07.948
- Bishop jakes: it is not my good times that reveal god the most
- 00:26:08.015 --> 00:26:11.952
- In my life.
- 00:26:11.952 --> 00:26:13.754
- It's not the shouting times that reveal god the most in my life.
- 00:26:13.754 --> 00:26:17.691
- It is the time when all hell was breaking loose in my life that i
- 00:26:17.691 --> 00:26:22.363
- Saw god's glory shine the brightest.
- 00:26:22.363 --> 00:26:25.766
