- Mouth, you can be saved.

- Help from this moment forward.
- 00:01:01.044 --> 00:01:02.378
- It is that simple.
- 00:01:02.378 --> 00:01:04.080
- It really is.
- 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:05.415
- I just wanna welcome you to ron carpenter television.
- 00:01:05.415 --> 00:01:07.984
- So excited about this christmas holiday season.
- 00:01:07.984 --> 00:01:10.186
- So excited about what you're getting ready to hear.
- 00:01:10.186 --> 00:01:11.988
- We've been all up in this teaching series called the code,
- 00:01:11.988 --> 00:01:15.725
- Because i believe that god gives a key to everything.
- 00:01:15.725 --> 00:01:19.462
- To everything, there's a key.
- 00:01:19.462 --> 00:01:21.631
- He said there's keys to the kingdom.
- 00:01:21.631 --> 00:01:23.266
- Well there is a key to extracting the best out of a
- 00:01:23.266 --> 00:01:26.536
- Person.
- 00:01:26.536 --> 00:01:27.670
- There's a key to extracting the worst out of a person.
- 00:01:27.670 --> 00:01:29.873
- What is that key and how can it work to bring heaven into your
- 00:01:29.873 --> 00:01:33.977
- Life?
- 00:01:33.977 --> 00:01:35.245
- I believe you're gonna discover it right here in the next few
- 00:01:35.245 --> 00:01:36.613
- Minutes.
- 00:01:36.613 --> 00:01:37.881
- So let me get out of the way, and let's get on as we study the
- 00:01:37.881 --> 00:01:41.618
- Code.
- 00:01:41.618 --> 00:01:43.019
- When we read the great exploits in the bible, we think those
- 00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:46.022
- Guys were like bible superheroes.
- 00:01:46.022 --> 00:01:50.093
- Elijah was a bad dude.
- 00:01:50.093 --> 00:01:52.896
- He's one of my favorite bible characters to speak about.
- 00:01:52.896 --> 00:01:56.766
- Elijah went to king ahab, who was jezebel's husband, who was
- 00:01:57.967 --> 00:02:04.440
- The power couple in the bible.
- 00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:06.676
- The power couple of evil.
- 00:02:06.676 --> 00:02:08.178
- Elijah walked right up to the king and said, "it ain't gonna
- 00:02:08.178 --> 00:02:14.083
- Rain til i say it's gonna rain."
- 00:02:14.083 --> 00:02:17.587
- That's a bad boy right there.
- 00:02:18.221 --> 00:02:19.689
- He didn't say 'til god says it's gonna rain.
- 00:02:19.689 --> 00:02:21.758
- He looked at him and said, "it ain't gonna rain 'til i say it's
- 00:02:21.758 --> 00:02:24.961
- Gonna rain."
- 00:02:24.961 --> 00:02:27.997
- I love that stuff.
- 00:02:28.431 --> 00:02:29.432
- Look what it says about him.
- 00:02:29.432 --> 00:02:32.235
- I thought this was interesting.
- 00:02:32.235 --> 00:02:33.403
- I just wanted to throw it in there.
- 00:02:33.403 --> 00:02:34.904
- "elijah was a man with a nature like ours."
- 00:02:34.904 --> 00:02:37.607
- He ain't no different than me and you.
- 00:02:37.607 --> 00:02:41.177
- "yet he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not
- 00:02:41.177 --> 00:02:44.514
- Rain on the land for three and a half year."
- 00:02:44.514 --> 00:02:47.417
- Three years, six months.
- 00:02:47.417 --> 00:02:48.751
- "he prayed again, and heaven gave rain.
- 00:02:48.751 --> 00:02:52.922
- The earth produced its fruit."
- 00:02:52.922 --> 00:02:54.390
- Elijah was a man with a nature like ours.
- 00:02:54.390 --> 00:02:58.895
- Yet he prayed and it did not rain.
- 00:02:58.895 --> 00:03:01.197
- Lord bless the reading of your word in jesus name.
- 00:03:01.197 --> 00:03:03.766
- And everybody said amen.
- 00:03:03.766 --> 00:03:07.036
- So let me begin to break this down a little bit right here and
- 00:03:07.036 --> 00:03:10.773
- Work it for you.
- 00:03:10.773 --> 00:03:11.441
- Everybody happy?
- 00:03:11.441 --> 00:03:12.141
- You alright?
- 00:03:12.141 --> 00:03:12.809
- Everybody good?
- 00:03:12.809 --> 00:03:14.010
- Alright.
- 00:03:14.010 --> 00:03:15.712
- So we've learned some things right here, and the main thing
- 00:03:15.712 --> 00:03:18.915
- That i've been wanting to teach is that honor is the key to
- 00:03:18.915 --> 00:03:25.722
- Access.
- 00:03:25.722 --> 00:03:26.522
- Honor is the key to access.
- 00:03:26.522 --> 00:03:29.158
- Access what?
- 00:03:29.158 --> 00:03:30.460
- Anything great that god has put in anybody, honor is the key to
- 00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:35.865
- Access.
- 00:03:35.865 --> 00:03:37.066
- Let me break this down, because i like to mix simple and
- 00:03:37.066 --> 00:03:41.070
- Profound, okay?
- 00:03:41.070 --> 00:03:42.305
- And i always start off teaching, i usually get happy what i'm
- 00:03:42.305 --> 00:03:47.076
- Teaching about and end up preaching, okay.
- 00:03:47.076 --> 00:03:49.445
- So let me teach a minute, then when it hits me, no telling what
- 00:03:49.445 --> 00:03:51.981
- I might do.
- 00:03:51.981 --> 00:03:53.249
- I'm scared to run today, i got on my slick shoes and no socks,
- 00:03:53.249 --> 00:03:55.885
- So i don't know if i wanna run a lap.
- 00:03:55.885 --> 00:03:58.688
- Alright, so you just roll with me.
- 00:03:58.688 --> 00:04:00.556
- We'll go wherever it goes today.
- 00:04:00.556 --> 00:04:03.026
- Honor is the key to access.
- 00:04:03.026 --> 00:04:05.061
- Everybody who asks jesus into their heart to be their lord and
- 00:04:05.061 --> 00:04:09.232
- Savior, the bible says that at that moment, they are born of
- 00:04:09.232 --> 00:04:13.569
- The spirit.
- 00:04:13.569 --> 00:04:15.872
- They're born of the spirit.
- 00:04:15.872 --> 00:04:17.106
- That means you were living life a third of a tank low.
- 00:04:17.106 --> 00:04:22.145
- We're supposed to be a spirit, a soul, and a body.
- 00:04:22.145 --> 00:04:24.580
- But when adam sinned, we died spiritually.
- 00:04:24.580 --> 00:04:27.183
- So we're just a soul and a body.
- 00:04:27.183 --> 00:04:30.219
- But the moment you get saved, god just breathes on your dead
- 00:04:30.219 --> 00:04:33.623
- Spirit.
- 00:04:33.623 --> 00:04:34.791
- And it just comes to life and all of a sudden, you are
- 00:04:34.791 --> 00:04:37.827
- Complete.
- 00:04:37.827 --> 00:04:38.695
- You are a spirit, a soul, and a body.
- 00:04:38.695 --> 00:04:41.331
- Your soul makes you self-aware.
- 00:04:41.331 --> 00:04:43.166
- Your body makes you environmentally-aware.
- 00:04:43.166 --> 00:04:46.235
- But your spirit makes you god-aware.
- 00:04:46.235 --> 00:04:48.738
- And all of a sudden, now, you become aware of god.
- 00:04:48.738 --> 00:04:51.641
- You become aware of his desires.
- 00:04:51.641 --> 00:04:53.843
- You become aware of his voice.
- 00:04:53.843 --> 00:04:55.778
- You become aware of moments.
- 00:04:55.778 --> 00:04:57.980
- You become aware of opportunities.
- 00:04:57.980 --> 00:05:00.049
- You become discerning of people.
- 00:05:00.049 --> 00:05:03.786
- You can walk in and not know them, but know them.
- 00:05:03.786 --> 00:05:07.857
- Who's doing that?
- 00:05:07.857 --> 00:05:08.691
- That's the holy spirit.
- 00:05:08.691 --> 00:05:10.226
- All things you did not possess before you got saved.
- 00:05:10.226 --> 00:05:14.330
- You are alive unto god.
- 00:05:14.330 --> 00:05:15.665
- Now you are a flesh and a body, but the bible says you, when you
- 00:05:15.665 --> 00:05:20.670
- Got saved, became the temple of the holy spirit.
- 00:05:20.670 --> 00:05:24.040
- So you became the holy spirit's living place.
- 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.844
- The holy spirit does not live in heaven.
- 00:05:27.844 --> 00:05:30.880
- The holy spirit lives in you.
- 00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:33.783
- And so whatever the holy spirit's going to do, he's going
- 00:05:33.783 --> 00:05:36.786
- To do through you.
- 00:05:36.786 --> 00:05:38.821
- Can i go further?
- 00:05:38.821 --> 00:05:39.856
- I can tell i need to massage this a little bit.
- 00:05:39.856 --> 00:05:42.792
- Whenever a king--this is the difference between a kingdom and
- 00:05:42.792 --> 00:05:45.895
- A democracy--when a king makes a decree, it is law.
- 00:05:45.895 --> 00:05:50.900
- And even he cannot go back on his own word.
- 00:05:50.900 --> 00:05:54.404
- And god, being a king in genesis 1 said, "let man have dominion
- 00:05:54.404 --> 00:05:58.508
- In the earth."
- 00:05:58.508 --> 00:05:59.509
- So in other words, in earth, man is in charge.
- 00:05:59.509 --> 00:06:04.814
- And then he put adam on it.
- 00:06:04.814 --> 00:06:06.082
- He said, "have dominion, rule it, subdue it, be fruitful in
- 00:06:06.082 --> 00:06:09.852
- It, and multiply.
- 00:06:09.852 --> 00:06:11.187
- Earth is yours, you control it.
- 00:06:11.187 --> 00:06:13.556
- If it gets better, it's gonna be your fault.
- 00:06:13.556 --> 00:06:16.092
- If it gets worse, it's gonna be your fault.
- 00:06:16.092 --> 00:06:18.995
- Earth is yours.
- 00:06:18.995 --> 00:06:19.929
- I live in heaven, you live in earth.
- 00:06:19.929 --> 00:06:22.598
- You run earth like i run heaven."
- 00:06:22.598 --> 00:06:25.768
- When adam sinned, adam forfeited the right to be able to govern
- 00:06:25.768 --> 00:06:31.441
- The earth.
- 00:06:31.441 --> 00:06:32.642
- And now the bible says the earth is operating in futility.
- 00:06:32.642 --> 00:06:35.511
- That's why we have floods, that's why we have hurricanes,
- 00:06:35.511 --> 00:06:37.780
- That's why we have earthquakes.
- 00:06:37.780 --> 00:06:39.549
- Because the earth is out of order.
- 00:06:39.549 --> 00:06:41.417
- Why?
- 00:06:41.417 --> 00:06:42.685
- Because the person god put here to govern it lost his ability.
- 00:06:42.685 --> 00:06:46.556
- So now, adam was trapped in a earth that no longer responds to
- 00:06:46.556 --> 00:06:50.760
- Him.
- 00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:54.430
- So what has to happen?
- 00:06:54.931 --> 00:06:56.566
- Jesus comes to remove adam's sin from the whole earth.
- 00:06:56.566 --> 00:07:01.370
- And everybody, all of the human race that it infected.
- 00:07:01.370 --> 00:07:05.041
- And make a place where the holy spirit can once again come and
- 00:07:05.041 --> 00:07:08.644
- Live inside people.
- 00:07:08.644 --> 00:07:09.979
- Why does god want the holy spirit to come live inside you?
- 00:07:09.979 --> 00:07:16.285
- Because god does not have authority in the earth without a
- 00:07:16.285 --> 00:07:22.058
- Body.
- 00:07:22.058 --> 00:07:23.192
- God cannot do anything in the earth outside of man.
- 00:07:23.192 --> 00:07:27.797
- Why?
- 00:07:27.797 --> 00:07:29.031
- Because god decreed, "let man have dominion in the earth."
- 00:07:29.031 --> 00:07:33.836
- God didn't say let god have dominion in the earth.
- 00:07:33.836 --> 00:07:36.506
- God is a spirit.
- 00:07:36.506 --> 00:07:37.740
- So a spirit only has dominion in the earth when it gets in a
- 00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:43.579
- Body.
- 00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:45.014
- That's why god wants you to walk in the spirit, and live in the
- 00:07:45.014 --> 00:07:48.918
- Spirit, and listen to the spirit.
- 00:07:48.918 --> 00:07:51.053
- Why?
- 00:07:51.053 --> 00:07:52.188
- You are the only chance god has to get his will done.
- 00:07:52.188 --> 00:07:55.157
- So your mouth becomes god's mouth.
- 00:07:55.157 --> 00:07:57.994
- Your hands become god's hand.
- 00:07:57.994 --> 00:08:00.329
- Your feet becomes god's feet.
- 00:08:00.329 --> 00:08:02.665
- Your presence becomes god's presence.
- 00:08:02.665 --> 00:08:05.034
- I believe i can walk into the room and the room fill with the
- 00:08:05.034 --> 00:08:09.305
- Presence of god.
- 00:08:09.305 --> 00:08:10.239
- Why?
- 00:08:10.239 --> 00:08:11.140
- 'cause god walked in when i walked in.
- 00:08:11.140 --> 00:08:13.075
- Some of you say, "i hope we have a good service sunday, i hope we
- 00:08:13.075 --> 00:08:17.747
- Have a good service."
- 00:08:17.747 --> 00:08:19.015
- Do you know who we depend on to have a good service?
- 00:08:19.015 --> 00:08:21.951
- We don't depend on god, and god don't have bad services.
- 00:08:21.951 --> 00:08:26.756
- God don't have a bad day.
- 00:08:26.756 --> 00:08:29.458
- God don't have a bad sunday.
- 00:08:29.458 --> 00:08:31.027
- God don't have a sunday where he's off his game.
- 00:08:31.027 --> 00:08:33.529
- It's only when people are not on their game does god have a bad
- 00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:37.033
- Day.
- 00:08:37.033 --> 00:08:37.700
- Why?
- 00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:38.935
- Because if we're gonna have a good service, it ain't up to
- 00:08:38.935 --> 00:08:40.503
- God, it's up to us.
- 00:08:40.503 --> 00:08:41.771
- If we're gonna have a move of god, it's not up to god, it's up
- 00:08:41.771 --> 00:08:45.508
- To us.
- 00:08:45.508 --> 00:08:46.742
- Are you gonna open your mouth with your praise and let god
- 00:08:46.742 --> 00:08:48.945
- Fill the room?
- 00:08:48.945 --> 00:08:50.079
- Are you gonna worship him and let god fill the room?
- 00:08:50.079 --> 00:08:52.815
- Are you gonna turn around and be god's blessing to somebody who
- 00:08:52.815 --> 00:08:56.118
- Needs a blessing?
- 00:08:56.118 --> 00:08:57.453
- Whatever god's gonna do today, he's gonna do through you.
- 00:08:57.453 --> 00:09:05.528
- So why did god have to become a man to save us?
- 00:09:06.462 --> 00:09:12.902
- Because god couldn't save us as a spirit from heaven.
- 00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:16.839
- So the word had to become flesh.
- 00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:19.241
- God had to become a man.
- 00:09:19.241 --> 00:09:24.547
- Because unless he had flesh, he did not have dominion in the
- 00:09:24.547 --> 00:09:27.416
- Earth.
- 00:09:27.416 --> 00:09:28.651
- So jesus, at age 30, being all man, because his mother mary
- 00:09:28.651 --> 00:09:36.359
- Gave him his body.
- 00:09:36.792 --> 00:09:39.295
- But he was not only all man, he was all god.
- 00:09:39.295 --> 00:09:42.064
- He was not half-and-half.
- 00:09:42.064 --> 00:09:43.299
- Half god and half ...
- 00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:44.367
- He was all man.
- 00:09:44.367 --> 00:09:45.067
- He was 100 and 100, not 50-50.
- 00:09:45.067 --> 00:09:48.738
- He was all man because he came through the womb of a woman.
- 00:09:48.738 --> 00:09:51.974
- He was all god because he came from the seed of the holy ghost.
- 00:09:51.974 --> 00:09:55.444
- Because the angel told mary the holy spirit will overshadow you.
- 00:09:55.444 --> 00:10:02.284
- "you're gonna have a visitation of the holy spirit, and god is
- 00:10:02.284 --> 00:10:05.421
- Gonna put the seed of heaven inside of your womb, and you are
- 00:10:05.421 --> 00:10:08.658
- Gonna birth a treasure hidden in a field."
- 00:10:08.658 --> 00:10:11.193
- There's gonna be god wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a
- 00:10:11.193 --> 00:10:16.832
- Manger.
- 00:10:16.832 --> 00:10:18.067
- And if they don't look past the field, they'll never get the
- 00:10:18.067 --> 00:10:21.904
- God.
- 00:10:21.904 --> 00:10:22.838
- Oh my goodness, i'm wearing this thing out.
- 00:10:22.838 --> 00:10:25.574
- I'm preaching myself happy.
- 00:10:25.574 --> 00:10:27.677
- I'm about to go to the bookstore and buy my own cd.
- 00:10:27.677 --> 00:10:34.083
- So jesus would go through towns.
- 00:10:34.083 --> 00:10:37.286
- And in one town, he would have unspeakable success.
- 00:10:37.286 --> 00:10:42.258
- And then he would go into another town and nothing would
- 00:10:42.258 --> 00:10:45.061
- Happen.
- 00:10:45.061 --> 00:10:47.697
- Did jesus have a bad day?
- 00:10:47.697 --> 00:10:49.365
- No.
- 00:10:49.365 --> 00:10:50.299
- It was the way the people regarded him.
- 00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:56.972
- Honor in the kingdom is not objective.
- 00:10:57.807 --> 00:11:01.010
- Meaning it is not up to the person to act honorably.
- 00:11:01.010 --> 00:11:05.614
- Honor is subjective.
- 00:11:05.614 --> 00:11:06.916
- Subjective has to do with you.
- 00:11:06.916 --> 00:11:08.784
- In other words, you have a filter inside of you called the
- 00:11:08.784 --> 00:11:12.521
- Filter of honor, and honor is the way that you see everybody,
- 00:11:12.521 --> 00:11:16.892
- Whether or not they're honorable, it does not matter.
- 00:11:16.892 --> 00:11:20.429
- That's why my claps have gone from thousand to four.
- 00:11:20.429 --> 00:11:25.935
- You know why?
- 00:11:25.935 --> 00:11:27.203
- Because we want people to act up to our standard of honor, then
- 00:11:27.203 --> 00:11:30.773
- We will grant you honor.
- 00:11:30.773 --> 00:11:32.541
- But if you learn how to honor anyway, you will raise person's
- 00:11:32.541 --> 00:11:36.245
- Standard.
- 00:11:36.245 --> 00:11:39.482
- You can get somebody to acting crazy, and you begin to honor
- 00:11:39.482 --> 00:11:42.651
- Them, and you can change the whole way that they're acting in
- 00:11:42.651 --> 00:11:45.421
- The building.
- 00:11:45.421 --> 00:11:46.288
- You can change their behavior by honor.
- 00:11:46.288 --> 00:11:48.491
- You can access greatness by honor.
- 00:11:48.491 --> 00:11:50.893
- You can take somebody that everybody's given up on them,
- 00:11:50.893 --> 00:11:53.629
- And you can begin to honor 'em.
- 00:11:53.629 --> 00:11:55.264
- And all of a sudden, a treasure will begin to rise to the
- 00:11:55.264 --> 00:11:57.767
- Surface.
- 00:11:57.767 --> 00:11:58.768
- It is amazing how powerful the honor code is.
- 00:11:58.768 --> 00:12:02.037
- And power, and especially kingdom power only operates when
- 00:12:02.037 --> 00:12:06.208
- People know how to honor one another.
- 00:12:06.208 --> 00:12:11.914
- 'cause jesus was a god and a man.
- 00:12:11.914 --> 00:12:16.952
- And so he would walk in one town and they saw him as the son of
- 00:12:16.952 --> 00:12:20.022
- God.
- 00:12:20.022 --> 00:12:21.824
- Well however they honored him is what they got from him.
- 00:12:21.824 --> 00:12:24.894
- So signs, and wonders, and miracles, and raising the dead,
- 00:12:24.894 --> 00:12:28.430
- And healing fevers, and casting out devils, and breaking chains,
- 00:12:28.430 --> 00:12:31.801
- And blind eyes, and deaf ears, and mute tongues.
- 00:12:31.801 --> 00:12:36.338
- And all kind of stuff were happening.
- 00:12:36.338 --> 00:12:38.007
- He was cleaning hospitals out.
- 00:12:38.007 --> 00:12:41.243
- Then he'd go into another town and they'd say "this is the son
- 00:12:41.243 --> 00:12:43.712
- Of man.
- 00:12:43.712 --> 00:12:44.713
- This is joseph's boy.
- 00:12:44.713 --> 00:12:47.483
- Nothing special about him."
- 00:12:47.483 --> 00:12:48.951
- And nothing would happen.
- 00:12:48.951 --> 00:12:51.720
- Jesus didn't change, objectively.
- 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.023
- They way they saw him changed.
- 00:12:54.023 --> 00:12:58.627
- You access what you see.
- 00:12:58.627 --> 00:13:02.898
- You can get somebody to acting crazy, and you begin to honor
- 00:13:02.898 --> 00:13:05.968
- Them, and you can change the whole way that they're acting in
- 00:13:05.968 --> 00:13:08.971
- The building.
- 00:13:08.971 --> 00:13:09.839
- You can change their behavior by honor.
- 00:13:09.839 --> 00:13:11.540
- You can access greatness by honor.
- 00:13:11.540 --> 00:13:14.009
- You can take somebody that everybody's given up on them,
- 00:13:14.009 --> 00:13:16.712
- And you can begin to honor 'em.
- 00:13:16.712 --> 00:13:18.280
- Living a life of honor is something that everyone should
- 00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:20.649
- Want to do.
- 00:13:20.649 --> 00:13:21.917
- In this series, the code, from ron carpenter, you'll learn how
- 00:13:21.917 --> 00:13:24.887
- Honoring others attracts a blessing from god.
- 00:13:24.887 --> 00:13:27.990
- It's amazing how god will take a treasure and say, "i'm gonna
- 00:13:27.990 --> 00:13:31.994
- Make you honor something that you don't like.
- 00:13:31.994 --> 00:13:34.864
- I'm gonna make you somebody that hasn't treated you well.
- 00:13:34.864 --> 00:13:38.367
- And then when you operate in honor, all of the sudden's gone
- 00:13:38.367 --> 00:13:42.071
- And locked something on the inside of them that can turn
- 00:13:42.071 --> 00:13:44.974
- Around and bless you.
- 00:13:44.974 --> 00:13:47.543

- 00:13:47.543 --> 00:13:51.180

- 00:14:00.389 --> 00:14:03.525
- You access what you see.
- 00:14:03.525 --> 00:14:06.929
- Can i take a little time and be self-serving with this teaching?
- 00:14:06.929 --> 00:14:11.634
- You can't go out to lunch today and run me down.
- 00:14:11.634 --> 00:14:17.106
- Talk about me awful, and i don't like that guy, and i don't like
- 00:14:17.106 --> 00:14:20.109
- His ankles, and every preacher should wear socks when they're
- 00:14:20.109 --> 00:14:23.078
- Preaching.
- 00:14:23.078 --> 00:14:26.916
- And then get diagnosed with type-1 diabetes and run up here
- 00:14:26.916 --> 00:14:30.853
- And say, "would you pray for me, i need a miracle."
- 00:14:30.853 --> 00:14:36.792
- You don't access the gift that's in me by talking about me.
- 00:14:36.792 --> 00:14:43.032
- You only access what i have in me, the treasure that's in me,
- 00:14:43.032 --> 00:14:46.602
- By being able to honor me.
- 00:14:46.602 --> 00:14:48.203
- I try to honor everybody, because i never know where god
- 00:14:48.203 --> 00:14:51.640
- Has hidden a miracle.
- 00:14:51.640 --> 00:14:54.076
- I never know in the custodian apartment where he's hidden a
- 00:14:54.076 --> 00:14:56.912
- Miracle.
- 00:14:56.912 --> 00:14:58.213
- I never know, catch this, in the homeless man or woman where god
- 00:14:58.213 --> 00:15:01.583
- Has packaged the miracle.
- 00:15:01.583 --> 00:15:02.918
- I never know, walking through the parking lot.
- 00:15:02.918 --> 00:15:05.120
- I never know where god, somebody might be about to fall, and i
- 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.725
- Catch their arm, and inside them, god has patched a miracle.
- 00:15:09.725 --> 00:15:12.728
- See, you don't understand.
- 00:15:12.728 --> 00:15:14.096
- You want god to show up looking like god but god never shows up
- 00:15:14.096 --> 00:15:17.866
- Looking like god.
- 00:15:17.866 --> 00:15:19.001
- God shows up in people.
- 00:15:19.001 --> 00:15:20.636
- Because god lives inside people, and god makes you honor the
- 00:15:20.636 --> 00:15:24.173
- Person to get him.
- 00:15:24.173 --> 00:15:25.941
- In other words, he's on the inside of the person, and you
- 00:15:25.941 --> 00:15:28.610
- Got to honor the person to get to the god on the inside of
- 00:15:28.610 --> 00:15:31.847
- Them.
- 00:15:31.847 --> 00:15:32.915
- Everybody in here's got god on the inside of you.
- 00:15:32.915 --> 00:15:35.818
- But the people who know you will never access it without honor.
- 00:15:35.818 --> 00:15:45.894
- So god says, "here's what heaven operates like."
- 00:15:45.894 --> 00:15:50.032
- God takes something great and he hides it behind something
- 00:15:50.032 --> 00:15:54.937
- Common.
- 00:15:54.937 --> 00:16:00.142
- In other words, the greatness never looks great.
- 00:16:00.142 --> 00:16:03.712
- It looks very normal.
- 00:16:03.712 --> 00:16:06.515
- I've been amazed and amused at the cartoons, the pictures, and
- 00:16:06.515 --> 00:16:09.518
- Even the movies now made about samson.
- 00:16:09.518 --> 00:16:12.121
- In every one of them, he looks like the terminator.
- 00:16:12.121 --> 00:16:15.624
- But notice, everybody, go read the story of samson.
- 00:16:16.658 --> 00:16:20.496
- They were always confused, because they said, "where is his
- 00:16:20.496 --> 00:16:23.899
- Strength?"
- 00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:26.902
- Well if he looks like arnold schwarzenegger 30 years ago.
- 00:16:28.037 --> 00:16:33.542
- If he's huge, why are you scratching your head wondering
- 00:16:33.542 --> 00:16:36.645
- Where his strength is?
- 00:16:36.645 --> 00:16:39.415
- So everybody draws pictures of him being this herculean looking
- 00:16:40.616 --> 00:16:44.453
- Figure.
- 00:16:44.453 --> 00:16:45.687
- But the fact is, everybody would see him take the gates of a
- 00:16:45.687 --> 00:16:50.259
- City, put them on his back, and carry them up a mountain.
- 00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:55.164
- And they're saying, "how can he do this?"
- 00:16:55.164 --> 00:16:58.567
- Well if he looked like a giant, that wouldn't be confusing.
- 00:16:58.567 --> 00:17:02.671
- I don't believe he looked like the terminator.
- 00:17:02.671 --> 00:17:04.973
- I believe he looked like peewee herman.
- 00:17:04.973 --> 00:17:08.010
- And i believe here you got this little pipsqueak right here
- 00:17:09.178 --> 00:17:12.014
- Taking the gates of a city, setting them on his back, and
- 00:17:12.014 --> 00:17:14.983
- Climbing and putting them up a mountain.
- 00:17:14.983 --> 00:17:16.885
- He's going and capturing foxes, tying their tails together,
- 00:17:16.885 --> 00:17:19.721
- Lighting them on fire, and sending them through the
- 00:17:19.721 --> 00:17:21.857
- Philistine camp.
- 00:17:21.857 --> 00:17:23.058
- He's taking 1,000 trained military philistine soldiers and
- 00:17:23.058 --> 00:17:27.196
- Wiping them out with the jawbone of a donkey.
- 00:17:27.196 --> 00:17:29.598
- And everybody's saying "how can he do this?"
- 00:17:29.598 --> 00:17:33.102
- If he's huge he's doing it in his muscles.
- 00:17:33.102 --> 00:17:36.905
- But he's not doing it with his muscles, 'cause god didn't put
- 00:17:36.905 --> 00:17:42.010
- His strength in his muscles, he put it in his hair.
- 00:17:42.010 --> 00:17:46.648
- So god takes a great thing and puts it in a common thing.
- 00:17:46.648 --> 00:17:52.154
- And everybody's scratching their heads saying, "how does he do
- 00:17:52.154 --> 00:17:56.391
- This?"
- 00:17:56.391 --> 00:17:57.226
- Because the treasure is like this.
- 00:17:57.226 --> 00:17:59.361
- It's something great always tucked away behind something
- 00:17:59.361 --> 00:18:03.031
- Common.
- 00:18:03.031 --> 00:18:04.333
- Last week i dealt in numbers chapter 6.
- 00:18:04.333 --> 00:18:06.668
- And in exodus 32, moses ...
- 00:18:06.668 --> 00:18:09.705
- Exodus 20, after he had led the children of israel out of egypt.
- 00:18:09.705 --> 00:18:13.542
- They're out 3 million strong in the desert.
- 00:18:13.542 --> 00:18:17.212
- So god gave them a moral code to live by called the ten
- 00:18:17.212 --> 00:18:20.015
- Commandments.
- 00:18:20.015 --> 00:18:20.816
- But god wasn't finished.
- 00:18:20.816 --> 00:18:22.751
- God had a lot more to show moses to give to the people, so moses
- 00:18:22.751 --> 00:18:26.054
- When back up the mountain to talk to god and left aaron in
- 00:18:26.054 --> 00:18:28.657
- Control.
- 00:18:28.657 --> 00:18:30.692
- Aaron got feeling good and told everybody, especially the women,
- 00:18:30.692 --> 00:18:36.298
- Throw all your jewelry into the fire.
- 00:18:36.298 --> 00:18:37.933
- And he said he fashioned a golden calf.
- 00:18:37.933 --> 00:18:40.169
- They lifted the golden calf up and he said, "this is the god
- 00:18:40.169 --> 00:18:43.138
- That brought you out of egypt."
- 00:18:43.138 --> 00:18:45.674
- So the first time he delegated authority, it turned into idol
- 00:18:45.674 --> 00:18:48.744
- Worship.
- 00:18:48.744 --> 00:18:50.746
- Moses come back down the mountain, and moses has had to
- 00:18:50.746 --> 00:18:53.916
- Pray to god not to kill them.
- 00:18:53.916 --> 00:18:56.685
- Because god said, "they are stiff-necked people, and i'm
- 00:18:56.685 --> 00:18:59.388
- Sick of them, and i'm about to destroy them."
- 00:18:59.388 --> 00:19:01.356
- And moses went and said, "oh lord."
- 00:19:01.356 --> 00:19:04.893
- It's amazing that they fault moses the whole time, and moses
- 00:19:04.893 --> 00:19:07.796
- Was the only one interceding that god would save them.
- 00:19:07.796 --> 00:19:09.731
- So moses comes back down, and later on this thing comes full
- 00:19:09.731 --> 00:19:17.072
- Circle in the book of numbers.
- 00:19:17.706 --> 00:19:19.841
- And god wants to put a blessing on them.
- 00:19:19.841 --> 00:19:22.477
- So i told you this, let me take it one step further and i'll
- 00:19:22.477 --> 00:19:24.746
- Close.
- 00:19:24.746 --> 00:19:25.981
- So god speaks to moses and says, "tell aaron and his sons to
- 00:19:25.981 --> 00:19:33.622
- Speak to the people and say 'put my name on them.'" now i want
- 00:19:34.823 --> 00:19:44.633
- You to look at how god does this.
- 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.503
- Why don't god just put his name on them?
- 00:19:48.503 --> 00:19:52.374
- Moses ain't messed up by this point.
- 00:19:52.374 --> 00:19:54.943
- Why don't he just tell moses, "go put my name on them."
- 00:19:54.943 --> 00:20:00.115
- You want the name of god on you, because where his name is, his
- 00:20:00.115 --> 00:20:03.218
- Blessing is.
- 00:20:03.218 --> 00:20:06.188
- But god said, "moses, you go tell aaron to tell the people,
- 00:20:06.188 --> 00:20:10.459
- 'may the lord bless you, may the lord keep you, may the lord make
- 00:20:10.459 --> 00:20:14.363
- His face shine upon you.'" the one i speak every time before
- 00:20:14.363 --> 00:20:17.699
- You leave?
- 00:20:17.699 --> 00:20:18.367
- That's where it came from.
- 00:20:18.367 --> 00:20:19.301
- Now, i said this last week.
- 00:20:19.301 --> 00:20:24.006
- I'm not gonna take too much time drawing it out and trying to
- 00:20:24.006 --> 00:20:26.875
- Play it out dramatically.
- 00:20:26.875 --> 00:20:28.076
- But i want you to imagine, you're standing there with your
- 00:20:28.076 --> 00:20:32.180
- Wife and kids.
- 00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:33.482
- And your wife, last time you showed up, she lost all of her
- 00:20:33.482 --> 00:20:36.985
- Jewelry.
- 00:20:36.985 --> 00:20:39.354
- You were raising a golden calf.
- 00:20:39.988 --> 00:20:42.057
- When moses called in accountability, you said, "we
- 00:20:42.057 --> 00:20:45.160
- Just threw our gold in there and this calf came out."
- 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.396
- You denied you had anything to do with it, and you're the one
- 00:20:47.396 --> 00:20:50.766
- That started it and made it.
- 00:20:50.766 --> 00:20:52.868
- So he lied.
- 00:20:52.868 --> 00:20:53.835
- He led them in idol worship.
- 00:20:53.835 --> 00:20:56.071
- Just a conniver, a deceiver.
- 00:20:56.071 --> 00:20:57.739
- The list goes on.
- 00:20:57.739 --> 00:20:59.474
- And now the people have got to look past every area where he
- 00:20:59.474 --> 00:21:06.381
- Screwed up so bad.
- 00:21:06.381 --> 00:21:08.317
- And they cannot get the blessing of the lord unless the receive
- 00:21:08.317 --> 00:21:12.321
- The man.
- 00:21:12.321 --> 00:21:14.489
- He takes a treasure and puts it in the field.
- 00:21:15.424 --> 00:21:20.595
- And you cannot get the blessing unless you honor the man.
- 00:21:20.595 --> 00:21:23.332
- And you know what?
- 00:21:23.332 --> 00:21:26.301
- The man has done nothing honorable.
- 00:21:26.301 --> 00:21:31.873
- In fact, what he did was a disgrace.
- 00:21:32.641 --> 00:21:37.713
- But you're not gonna get this if you don't receive the me in him
- 00:21:38.947 --> 00:21:43.385
- And them.
- 00:21:43.385 --> 00:21:44.586
- So israel now must hear aaron to get the name of the lord.
- 00:21:44.586 --> 00:21:50.826
- And he said, "when i see my name, i will bless them."
- 00:21:50.826 --> 00:21:56.164
- So in other words, "i will look upon them and i'll know which
- 00:21:56.164 --> 00:21:59.701
- One heard you and which one didn't.
- 00:21:59.701 --> 00:22:02.371
- And when i see my name, that family gets the blessing.
- 00:22:02.371 --> 00:22:06.041
- If they refuse to listen to the one i sent, because they don't
- 00:22:06.041 --> 00:22:08.944
- Like the last time you messed up, they won't get my blessing."
- 00:22:08.944 --> 00:22:13.682
- He said, "my blessing only goes where my name is."
- 00:22:13.682 --> 00:22:16.318
- Some of you think of blessing as just money, and maybe that's
- 00:22:16.318 --> 00:22:19.488
- What you've heard a preacher do.
- 00:22:19.488 --> 00:22:20.822
- The blessing of the lord, let me tell you something about the
- 00:22:20.822 --> 00:22:22.791
- Blessing of the lord.
- 00:22:22.791 --> 00:22:24.092
- The blessing of the lord encamps round about you like a shield,
- 00:22:24.092 --> 00:22:27.329
- And it says a protective mechanism on your life.
- 00:22:27.329 --> 00:22:29.664
- When you're blessed, there are things that can't touch you.
- 00:22:29.664 --> 00:22:33.568
- It's called the doctrine of balaam.
- 00:22:33.568 --> 00:22:35.237
- When god started giving israel all ...
- 00:22:35.237 --> 00:22:39.341
- Everybody looked at israel.
- 00:22:39.341 --> 00:22:40.208
- Israel knew nothing about fighting.
- 00:22:40.208 --> 00:22:42.878
- They had no military.
- 00:22:42.878 --> 00:22:44.780
- But god is destroying all of their enemies for them.
- 00:22:44.780 --> 00:22:48.417
- So there's a king in moab named balak.
- 00:22:48.417 --> 00:22:50.819
- He sees them coming, and he says, "oh lord, we're next."
- 00:22:50.819 --> 00:22:54.089
- And their god is wiping out everybody in front of them.
- 00:22:54.089 --> 00:22:57.159
- So he hires a guy named balaam.
- 00:22:57.159 --> 00:22:59.928
- He wants him to work magic and sorcery.
- 00:22:59.928 --> 00:23:01.830
- He says, "i want you to go, and i want you to curse israel.
- 00:23:01.830 --> 00:23:05.500
- 'cause right now, nobody can stand before them.
- 00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:08.937
- And so balaam went and looked at israel and checked them out, and
- 00:23:08.937 --> 00:23:11.706
- He turned around and went back to the king of moab and he said,
- 00:23:11.706 --> 00:23:14.876
- "i can't curse them."
- 00:23:14.876 --> 00:23:16.178
- And the king said, "why?"
- 00:23:16.178 --> 00:23:17.345
- He said, "because god has blessed them, and you cannot
- 00:23:17.345 --> 00:23:20.148
- Curse what god has blessed."
- 00:23:20.148 --> 00:23:23.285
- Don't you understand when you're operating under the blessing of
- 00:23:23.285 --> 00:23:26.421
- The lord, that when your enemies devise plans against you that
- 00:23:26.421 --> 00:23:30.325
- Nothing can harm you.
- 00:23:30.325 --> 00:23:31.827
- The lord won't let enemies come against you.
- 00:23:31.827 --> 00:23:34.129
- He won't let their weapons profit.
- 00:23:34.129 --> 00:23:35.797
- Everybody oughta be screaming right now.
- 00:23:35.797 --> 00:23:38.200
- Because when the blessing of the lord is on you, it's so much
- 00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.436
- More than wealth, or money, or prosperity.
- 00:23:41.436 --> 00:23:43.972
- It is something that god puts on you.
- 00:23:43.972 --> 00:23:46.675
- And when enemies try to come against you, they say, "don't
- 00:23:46.675 --> 00:23:49.344
- Waste your time.
- 00:23:49.344 --> 00:23:50.412
- They're already blessed.
- 00:23:50.412 --> 00:23:51.847
- And you can't curse what god has blessed."
- 00:23:51.847 --> 00:24:26.414
- I hope that you've been enjoying these messages.
- 00:24:27.382 --> 00:24:29.751
- I'm so excited about what god is saying.
- 00:24:29.751 --> 00:24:31.620
- And i just wanna tell you as we close here, we are coming off
- 00:24:31.620 --> 00:24:34.956
- 2018, one of the greatest statistical years with each of
- 00:24:34.956 --> 00:24:40.195
- You in history.
- 00:24:40.195 --> 00:24:41.730
- I will talk more about that the first of the year, but i just
- 00:24:41.730 --> 00:24:44.966
- Wanna close out this season of gratitude with gratitude.
- 00:24:44.966 --> 00:24:49.237
- I don't ever want to forget to say thank you.
- 00:24:49.237 --> 00:24:51.673
- I don't ever want to forget to tell you what you mean to me.
- 00:24:51.673 --> 00:24:54.876
- You say, "pastor, i haven't met you."
- 00:24:54.876 --> 00:24:56.211
- We don't have to.
- 00:24:56.211 --> 00:24:56.912
- We're connected in the spirit.
- 00:24:56.912 --> 00:24:58.680
- We believe the same things, we want the same things, we're
- 00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:01.583
- After the same things.
- 00:25:01.583 --> 00:25:03.184
- I'm running as hard as i can and you're running with me.
- 00:25:03.184 --> 00:25:05.554
- And your support has helped make this possible.
- 00:25:05.554 --> 00:25:08.123
- I just wanna say thank you.
- 00:25:08.123 --> 00:25:10.025
- And it is even more miraculous that this happened in a
- 00:25:10.025 --> 00:25:13.562
- Transition year.
- 00:25:13.562 --> 00:25:14.796
- When me and my wife embraced this new challenge of the west
- 00:25:14.796 --> 00:25:17.766
- Coast.
- 00:25:17.766 --> 00:25:18.900
- What is now, i've found out, the most unreached region of
- 00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:22.337
- America.
- 00:25:22.337 --> 00:25:23.004
- I'm gonna say that again.
- 00:25:23.004 --> 00:25:23.838
- The most unreached region of america.
- 00:25:23.838 --> 00:25:25.307
- But i believe god can unlock it.
- 00:25:25.307 --> 00:25:27.609
- And you've believed with me.
- 00:25:27.609 --> 00:25:29.444
- So as we attempt to do what god wants here in this region and
- 00:25:29.444 --> 00:25:32.581
- All over the world, you've become a partner with that.
- 00:25:32.581 --> 00:25:35.216
- And to that i say thank you.
- 00:25:35.216 --> 00:25:37.485
- I know a lot of times at the year end, there are people who
- 00:25:37.485 --> 00:25:40.021
- Get different types of commissions.
- 00:25:40.021 --> 00:25:42.357
- Bonuses.
- 00:25:42.357 --> 00:25:43.024
- Stock options.
- 00:25:43.024 --> 00:25:43.725
- I don't know.
- 00:25:43.725 --> 00:25:44.392
- Have you got that tithe?
- 00:25:44.392 --> 00:25:45.694
- Have you got that offering in yet, before the end of the year?
- 00:25:45.694 --> 00:25:49.998
- Is there anything else god would have you to plant.
- 00:25:49.998 --> 00:25:53.301
- What are you believing for?
- 00:25:53.301 --> 00:25:55.070
- Maybe this is that soil.
- 00:25:55.070 --> 00:25:56.104
- Just ask god what he would have you to do.
- 00:25:56.104 --> 00:25:58.106
- And for your first month's gift, even if it's at the end of the
- 00:25:58.106 --> 00:26:01.109
- Year and you're a first time giver.
- 00:26:01.109 --> 00:26:02.811
- Whether it's a covenant partner on a monthly basis, or whether
- 00:26:02.811 --> 00:26:05.747
- It's just one time, we're gonna give you this gift.
- 00:26:05.747 --> 00:26:08.083
- In the season of giving, we wanna say thank you for giving
- 00:26:08.083 --> 00:26:11.019
- To this ministry.
- 00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.920
- We really appreciate you.

- The trajectory of your day on a different course.

- We're excited about what god has done, but he hasn't even begun
- 00:26:35.677 --> 00:26:39.381
- Yet to do everything great that i know he wants to.
- 00:26:39.381 --> 00:26:42.117
