  • 00:00:03.053 --> 00:00:16.232
  • Well, we're closing down this new year, and you know what, we
  • 00:00:17.434 --> 00:00:20.403
  • Want to end strong before we enter what god's got next.
  • 00:00:20.403 --> 00:00:23.540
  • I do believe that it's not just times, and seasons.
  • 00:00:23.540 --> 00:00:26.176
  • I do believe that there's something significant about a
  • 00:00:26.176 --> 00:00:28.845
  • New calendar year, but these promises that you make in these
  • 00:00:28.845 --> 00:00:32.148
  • Things that you say, i'm going to commit myself to do.
  • 00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:34.684
  • They're only good if the commitment overrides the
  • 00:00:34.684 --> 00:00:38.588
  • Emotion.
  • 00:00:38.588 --> 00:00:39.789
  • It is very easy to make an emotional commitment, but after
  • 00:00:39.789 --> 00:00:43.193
  • The feelings have worn off, can you stay with that decision you
  • 00:00:43.193 --> 00:00:47.263
  • Have made?
  • 00:00:47.263 --> 00:00:48.531
  • I hope that you're pondering, and praying right now about the
  • 00:00:48.531 --> 00:00:50.567
  • Things god would have you to look for, and a way to build
  • 00:00:50.567 --> 00:00:53.369
  • Yourself in the new year, to be a better you, and to reach the
  • 00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:56.406
  • Potential that god has put in you.
  • 00:00:56.406 --> 00:00:58.541
  • We've been talking about the code, and we're ending out this
  • 00:00:58.541 --> 00:01:01.077
  • Year talking about it, because there is a code that we can live
  • 00:01:01.077 --> 00:01:04.514
  • By that not only brings the greatest out of us, but brings
  • 00:01:04.514 --> 00:01:07.584
  • The greatest out of other people.
  • 00:01:07.584 --> 00:01:08.918
  • How would you like to enter an atmosphere, and everybody in the
  • 00:01:08.918 --> 00:01:13.790
  • Room, you have the ability to pull the greatest gifts in them
  • 00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:17.093
  • Out.
  • 00:01:17.093 --> 00:01:17.760
  • There's a key to that.
  • 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:18.828
  • There's a way to do it.
  • 00:01:18.828 --> 00:01:20.063
  • I'm going to get out of the way, because i want to hear this
  • 00:01:20.063 --> 00:01:21.998
  • Word, phenomenal truth right here that we're about to study,
  • 00:01:21.998 --> 00:01:25.435
  • So go with me now as we take this journey in unlocking the
  • 00:01:25.435 --> 00:01:29.706
  • Code.
  • 00:01:29.706 --> 00:01:31.241
  • God will take something great, and he will hide it behind
  • 00:01:31.241 --> 00:01:35.211
  • Something common, and then he will make you honor the common
  • 00:01:35.211 --> 00:01:42.218
  • To get the great.
  • 00:01:42.652 --> 00:01:44.754
  • That is very difficult, and i'm not getting any amens so far
  • 00:01:44.754 --> 00:01:49.159
  • Already.
  • 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:50.426
  • God has greatness behind common, and then he wants people like
  • 00:01:50.426 --> 00:01:56.900
  • Me, and you to be able to recognize who is in our midst,
  • 00:01:58.001 --> 00:02:02.172
  • Recognize moments, blind bartimaeus, everybody else was
  • 00:02:02.172 --> 00:02:05.375
  • Quiet, he's yelling his head off, why?
  • 00:02:05.375 --> 00:02:07.610
  • He knew that was his moment.
  • 00:02:07.610 --> 00:02:08.845
  • Nobody else recognized it, and nobody else got healing that
  • 00:02:08.845 --> 00:02:11.781
  • Day, but blind bartimaeus.
  • 00:02:11.781 --> 00:02:13.850
  • So when he stood out, recognized his moment, he got the healing.
  • 00:02:15.084 --> 00:02:19.055
  • In the kingdom, you have to be able to recognize.
  • 00:02:19.055 --> 00:02:21.057
  • You have to be able to recognize, 'i'm standing in the
  • 00:02:21.057 --> 00:02:23.660
  • Midst of greatness.' you have to be willing to recognize, 'this
  • 00:02:23.660 --> 00:02:26.963
  • Is a opportunity for me.' you have to be willing to realize at
  • 00:02:26.963 --> 00:02:30.600
  • The offering that when you hear something, and you're in the
  • 00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:32.969
  • Same position that maybe that was god speaking to you, that he
  • 00:02:32.969 --> 00:02:36.739
  • Can do the same thing for you that he did for her.
  • 00:02:36.739 --> 00:02:39.209
  • You've got to be able to recognize.
  • 00:02:39.209 --> 00:02:40.543
  • You've got to be able to feel it for yourself.
  • 00:02:40.543 --> 00:02:42.412
  • Sometimes, i just have to know, and i just look at the person,
  • 00:02:42.412 --> 00:02:45.348
  • And realize they look common, they look like everybody else,
  • 00:02:45.348 --> 00:02:48.284
  • But i realize i'm standing in the midst of greatness.
  • 00:02:48.284 --> 00:02:51.254
  • How many of you have ever been in greatness, and you don't even
  • 00:02:51.254 --> 00:02:55.124
  • Really realize you were in greatness til it was already
  • 00:02:55.124 --> 00:02:57.193
  • Over with?
  • 00:02:57.193 --> 00:02:58.461
  • He took a king, and wrapped it up in shepherd boy named david,
  • 00:02:58.461 --> 00:03:02.165
  • And he put it in there so deep that when the prophet went to
  • 00:03:02.165 --> 00:03:05.802
  • Anoint the next king, even the prophet missed it.
  • 00:03:05.802 --> 00:03:09.072
  • Samuel said, 'isn't this the one?
  • 00:03:09.072 --> 00:03:10.473
  • Well, he looks like he'd be a king, isn't this the one?
  • 00:03:10.473 --> 00:03:12.809
  • He looks like he could do it', and jesus talked to samuel,
  • 00:03:12.809 --> 00:03:16.913
  • Says, 'samuel, i don't look at what you look at, i look at
  • 00:03:16.913 --> 00:03:20.917
  • What's on the inside of 'em, and there's a boy out there taking
  • 00:03:20.917 --> 00:03:24.187
  • Care of sheep, but i have put the ability to be a king on the
  • 00:03:24.187 --> 00:03:28.157
  • Inside of the shepherd boy, and if you can't get past a shepherd
  • 00:03:28.157 --> 00:03:31.694
  • Boy, you'll never see the king'.
  • 00:03:31.694 --> 00:03:35.064
  • Why did so many in israel miss jesus?
  • 00:03:35.865 --> 00:03:38.501
  • Because he was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
  • 00:03:38.501 --> 00:03:40.770
  • They laid him in a manger, he was born in a cave filled with
  • 00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:44.340
  • Animals to an unwed, pregnant 15 year old, and they just could
  • 00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:49.379
  • Not receive something so great, but prophets had been prophesied
  • 00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:53.750
  • For hundreds of years when come in that manner.
  • 00:03:53.750 --> 00:03:56.853
  • So, guess what?
  • 00:03:56.853 --> 00:03:58.054
  • They're still praying at a wailing wall today, because he
  • 00:03:58.054 --> 00:04:01.658
  • Came to them, and they missed him, because god didn't show up
  • 00:04:01.658 --> 00:04:04.961
  • Looking like god.
  • 00:04:04.961 --> 00:04:07.463
  • So, now let me move on to this right here.
  • 00:04:08.364 --> 00:04:10.566
  • Jesus was a man, born of the flesh by his mother, mary.
  • 00:04:10.566 --> 00:04:20.009
  • The holy spirit put the seed in mary's womb, and mary gave forth
  • 00:04:21.244 --> 00:04:27.817
  • A child, and we called him emmanuelle, jesus, god with us.
  • 00:04:27.817 --> 00:04:32.088
  • So, jesus the man came through the womb of a woman, and he was
  • 00:04:32.088 --> 00:04:36.926
  • 100 percent man, but then at 30 years old when god is about to
  • 00:04:36.926 --> 00:04:42.165
  • Let him start his ministry, john the baptist baptized him, and
  • 00:04:42.165 --> 00:04:45.868
  • The bible says that the holy spirit descended on him in
  • 00:04:45.868 --> 00:04:49.005
  • Bodily form, like a dove, and then god came, and lived inside
  • 00:04:49.005 --> 00:04:54.410
  • The man.
  • 00:04:54.410 --> 00:04:56.012
  • So, you got somebody walking in the earth, that is god wrapped
  • 00:04:56.012 --> 00:05:01.217
  • Up in a man.
  • 00:05:01.217 --> 00:05:02.385
  • God, the kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field.
  • 00:05:02.385 --> 00:05:11.861
  • The kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field.
  • 00:05:12.862 --> 00:05:14.197
  • So, jesus would walk into one town, and they'd say, 'this is
  • 00:05:14.197 --> 00:05:17.166
  • Joseph's boy'.
  • 00:05:17.166 --> 00:05:18.301
  • They saw the field, and he could do no mighty work there.
  • 00:05:18.301 --> 00:05:25.775
  • Jesus would walk into another town, 'this is the son of god',
  • 00:05:26.976 --> 00:05:32.148
  • And jesus would clean out the hospitals, heal everybody that
  • 00:05:32.148 --> 00:05:36.386
  • Was sick, cast out every doubt, every bondage, break every
  • 00:05:36.386 --> 00:05:39.956
  • Chain, when they said, 'this is the son of god.' so, it wasn't
  • 00:05:39.956 --> 00:05:43.326
  • Whether, or not he was god, or man, it was how they chose to
  • 00:05:43.326 --> 00:05:48.898
  • See him.
  • 00:05:48.898 --> 00:05:51.000
  • So, now guess what we are?
  • 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.702
  • You get born again.
  • 00:05:52.702 --> 00:05:56.339
  • The bible says that the minute you get born again, that's not
  • 00:05:56.339 --> 00:05:59.308
  • Just a ticket to heaven, that the bible says you now are the
  • 00:05:59.308 --> 00:06:04.113
  • Temple, the living place of the holy ghost.
  • 00:06:04.113 --> 00:06:07.383
  • The bible says, when you get saved that the same spirit that
  • 00:06:07.383 --> 00:06:12.021
  • Raised jesus from the dead now lives in your mortal body.
  • 00:06:12.021 --> 00:06:15.425
  • So guess what?
  • 00:06:15.425 --> 00:06:16.259
  • You are walking through the earth.
  • 00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:17.994
  • You're in target, you're in walmart, you're at the mall,
  • 00:06:17.994 --> 00:06:20.663
  • You're at nordstrom's.
  • 00:06:20.663 --> 00:06:21.497
  • You're going to get a hamburger.
  • 00:06:21.497 --> 00:06:22.832
  • You're going to get a taco at a taco truck.
  • 00:06:22.832 --> 00:06:27.637
  • I hadn't had one yet, but i've heard i need one.
  • 00:06:27.637 --> 00:06:37.013
  • So guess what you are?
  • 00:06:37.513 --> 00:06:39.615
  • You are god by the holy spirit, wrapped up in flesh.
  • 00:06:39.615 --> 00:06:42.318
  • You are god by the holy spirit, wrapped up in flesh, and so
  • 00:06:42.318 --> 00:06:53.196
  • Everybody's saved that comes in your presence, is the temple of
  • 00:06:54.397 --> 00:07:00.102
  • The holy spirit, the living place of the holy spirit.
  • 00:07:00.102 --> 00:07:04.740
  • So now, we get to do to one another, what we saw the towns
  • 00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:09.645
  • Do to jesus.
  • 00:07:09.645 --> 00:07:11.180
  • Jesus goes to his hometown, 'this is joseph's boy, i watched
  • 00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:15.451
  • Him grow up.
  • 00:07:15.451 --> 00:07:16.853
  • He makes benches with his dad.
  • 00:07:16.853 --> 00:07:18.321
  • What is he talking about coming in here, and trying to tell me
  • 00:07:18.321 --> 00:07:21.691
  • How to live?
  • 00:07:21.691 --> 00:07:23.426
  • Who's he think he is?
  • 00:07:23.426 --> 00:07:25.695
  • I'm no different than him.
  • 00:07:25.695 --> 00:07:28.097
  • We watched his mama raise him just like our mama raised us.
  • 00:07:28.097 --> 00:07:32.335
  • He come in here, and talking about all the son of god stuff',
  • 00:07:32.335 --> 00:07:34.537
  • And jesus was astonished at their lack of faith, and he
  • 00:07:34.537 --> 00:07:39.709
  • Could do no mighty work there, and then he would walk into
  • 00:07:39.709 --> 00:07:43.779
  • Another place, and all they heard was, 'the son of god is
  • 00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:45.948
  • Coming', and then all the sudden miracles, and signs, and wonders
  • 00:07:45.948 --> 00:07:50.586
  • Start moving all over the place.
  • 00:07:50.586 --> 00:07:52.722
  • Why?
  • 00:07:52.722 --> 00:07:53.956
  • Because one town chose to honor the son of god, and another
  • 00:07:53.956 --> 00:07:58.895
  • Chose to honor the son of man.
  • 00:07:58.895 --> 00:08:01.330
  • Whatever you honor is what you get.
  • 00:08:01.330 --> 00:08:03.299
  • Okay?
  • 00:08:03.299 --> 00:08:06.502
  • Y'all still not with me.
  • 00:08:06.502 --> 00:08:07.403
  • Are you here?
  • 00:08:07.403 --> 00:08:08.070
  • Are you in this place?
  • 00:08:08.070 --> 00:08:09.572
  • All right.
  • 00:08:09.572 --> 00:08:10.239
  • If you're bored, shout amen.
  • 00:08:10.239 --> 00:08:19.782
  • If you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, you receive a
  • 00:08:21.017 --> 00:08:36.532
  • Prophet's reward.
  • 00:08:36.966 --> 00:08:40.436
  • If you receive a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man,
  • 00:08:41.637 --> 00:08:46.142
  • You receive a righteous man's reward, and if you receive a cup
  • 00:08:46.142 --> 00:08:50.846
  • Of cold water from one of these little ones, you shall by no
  • 00:08:50.846 --> 00:08:54.250
  • Means lose your reward.
  • 00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:57.486
  • So, in other words, here we are again.
  • 00:08:57.486 --> 00:09:00.222
  • It's not what they are, it's how i see them.
  • 00:09:00.222 --> 00:09:04.961
  • What did jesus do to the woman at the well?
  • 00:09:05.861 --> 00:09:07.463
  • Let me back track a minute.
  • 00:09:07.463 --> 00:09:08.664
  • Remember, i talked about that a lot in the last few weeks.
  • 00:09:08.664 --> 00:09:12.168
  • He could do nothing for her, as long as she just saw a man.
  • 00:09:12.168 --> 00:09:18.608
  • So, he shifted her perception.
  • 00:09:19.241 --> 00:09:21.410
  • 'go call your husband', 'i don't have one', 'yup, you had five.'
  • 00:09:21.410 --> 00:09:33.055
  • He looked at her, and said, 'you're not real good at this
  • 00:09:34.223 --> 00:09:39.795
  • Marriage thing, you had five'.
  • 00:09:39.795 --> 00:09:42.098
  • 'sir, i perceive thou art a prophet', and then as she
  • 00:09:42.098 --> 00:09:46.802
  • Perceived him as one, she allowed him to prophesize.
  • 00:09:46.802 --> 00:09:50.239
  • If you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, you get a
  • 00:09:50.239 --> 00:09:54.910
  • Prophet for water, but she couldn't get it from him, 'til
  • 00:09:54.910 --> 00:09:58.180
  • She saw him that way.
  • 00:09:58.180 --> 00:10:00.416
  • So, as long as he was just a man, 'well, you jews don't even
  • 00:10:01.584 --> 00:10:05.821
  • Like us samaritans, why are you here?
  • 00:10:05.821 --> 00:10:07.857
  • You women don't even talk to us, me, and you think we're lower
  • 00:10:07.857 --> 00:10:10.226
  • Than you, or the well is deep, and you have nothing to draw
  • 00:10:10.226 --> 00:10:13.295
  • With.
  • 00:10:13.295 --> 00:10:14.563
  • Well, i wish you'd tell me where this living water is, i ain't
  • 00:10:14.563 --> 00:10:16.432
  • Got to keep coming here all the time'.
  • 00:10:16.432 --> 00:10:22.705
  • So, he realized, 'i'm not getting anywhere, and i've come
  • 00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:26.342
  • To minister to this woman, but because of the way she sees me,
  • 00:10:26.342 --> 00:10:30.713
  • I can't help her.
  • 00:10:30.713 --> 00:10:32.648
  • So i've got to shift her perception.
  • 00:10:32.648 --> 00:10:35.751
  • She's got to somehow honor who i really am, and not just being a
  • 00:10:35.751 --> 00:10:39.755
  • Jewish guy, that i'm the son of god.' so, he shifted perception.
  • 00:10:39.755 --> 00:10:46.095
  • When you honor people, you are able to get the thing that god
  • 00:10:46.095 --> 00:10:51.801
  • Put in them that he put in them to bless you.
  • 00:10:51.801 --> 00:10:56.405
  • So, let's talk about honoring a prophet.
  • 00:10:56.405 --> 00:10:58.708
  • He's not just talking about people who prophesied, he's
  • 00:10:58.708 --> 00:11:00.443
  • Talking about leaders.
  • 00:11:00.443 --> 00:11:03.713
  • When you honor the voices in your life, when you honor those
  • 00:11:03.713 --> 00:11:08.017
  • Who coach, mentor, lead, and guide you, and impart wisdom.
  • 00:11:08.017 --> 00:11:12.121
  • The bible says, 'let those who instruct you in the word', the
  • 00:11:12.121 --> 00:11:14.490
  • Bible says, 'let them be worthy of double honor'.
  • 00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:19.128
  • Why?
  • 00:11:19.128 --> 00:11:20.396
  • Because anybody who's starting anew in the lord has given you
  • 00:11:20.396 --> 00:11:21.964
  • Life, and giving you the seed for territory, so you oughta be
  • 00:11:21.964 --> 00:11:25.034
  • Able to go out of here with the word you've got, and take new
  • 00:11:25.034 --> 00:11:27.036
  • Ground for god.
  • 00:11:27.036 --> 00:11:27.937
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:11:27.937 --> 00:11:29.939
  • So he said, 'if you receive your leaders, those that i've put to
  • 00:11:29.939 --> 00:11:34.243
  • Speak in your life, and to those to care, and watch for your
  • 00:11:34.243 --> 00:11:37.413
  • Soul', he said, 'if you can receive them in the name of a
  • 00:11:37.413 --> 00:11:42.251
  • Prophet', he said, 'then you'll get the blessing that i put in
  • 00:11:42.251 --> 00:11:45.621
  • Them for you.' he said, 'in other words, you can not extract
  • 00:11:45.621 --> 00:11:48.858
  • The blessing that i want them to be to you, until you view them
  • 00:11:48.858 --> 00:11:51.961
  • Properly', and we have never been in a generation anymore
  • 00:11:51.961 --> 00:11:56.298
  • That hates leadership than today.
  • 00:11:56.298 --> 00:11:59.135
  • Preachers are the scourge of the earth, we mock them, we make fun
  • 00:11:59.135 --> 00:12:02.471
  • Of them.
  • 00:12:02.471 --> 00:12:03.672
  • We don't like any kind of leadership at all whatsoever.
  • 00:12:03.672 --> 00:12:06.041
  • 'ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do', and so when you
  • 00:12:06.041 --> 00:12:14.550
  • Disrespect the voice, you lose the treasure.
  • 00:12:15.484 --> 00:12:17.620
  • It's that simple, and while that's hard, it makes it harder
  • 00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:26.996
  • If you receive a righteous man.
  • 00:12:27.630 --> 00:12:30.766
  • Every one of us are righteous.
  • 00:12:31.400 --> 00:12:32.701
  • He's talking about now your peers, not those who care for
  • 00:12:32.701 --> 00:12:36.839
  • Your soul, but those who are right there living life just
  • 00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:40.409
  • Like you.
  • 00:12:40.409 --> 00:12:42.211
  • You can get somebody to acting crazy, and you begin to honor
  • 00:12:42.211 --> 00:12:45.714
  • Him, and you can change the whole way that they're acting in
  • 00:12:45.714 --> 00:12:48.384
  • The building.
  • 00:12:48.384 --> 00:12:49.251
  • You can change her behavior by honor.
  • 00:12:49.251 --> 00:12:50.986
  • You can access greatness by honor.
  • 00:12:50.986 --> 00:12:52.688
  • You can take somebody that everybody's given up on 'em, and
  • 00:12:52.688 --> 00:12:55.858
  • You can begin to honor them.
  • 00:12:55.858 --> 00:12:57.593
  • Living a life of honor is something that everyone should
  • 00:12:57.593 --> 00:13:00.462
  • Want to do.
  • 00:13:00.462 --> 00:13:01.730
  • In this series, the code from ron carpenter, you'll learn how
  • 00:13:01.730 --> 00:13:04.366
  • Honoring others attracts a blessing from god.
  • 00:13:04.366 --> 00:13:07.303
  • It's amazing how god will take a treasure and say, 'i'm gonna
  • 00:13:07.303 --> 00:13:11.740
  • Make you honor something that you don't like, i'm going to
  • 00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:14.710
  • Make you honor somebody that hadn't treated you well', and
  • 00:13:14.710 --> 00:13:18.013
  • Then when you operate in honor, all the sudden god unlocks
  • 00:13:18.013 --> 00:13:21.483
  • Something on the inside of them that could turn around, and
  • 00:13:21.483 --> 00:13:25.421
  • Bless you.

  • 00:13:40.970 --> 00:13:42.938
  • Every one of us who have been born again, we are righteous.
  • 00:13:42.938 --> 00:13:44.974
  • The bible says, 'he became sin for us, so that we might know
  • 00:13:44.974 --> 00:13:47.610
  • Righteousness.
  • 00:13:47.610 --> 00:13:48.844
  • He took the worst of what we were, and gave us the best of
  • 00:13:48.844 --> 00:13:50.846
  • What he was.' that's good preaching.
  • 00:13:50.846 --> 00:13:53.983
  • He said, 'now, if you can receive one another', and that's
  • 00:13:53.983 --> 00:13:58.954
  • A little more difficult, 'cause we know each other.
  • 00:13:58.954 --> 00:14:05.327
  • I know too much about your field.
  • 00:14:05.327 --> 00:14:08.964
  • What is field?
  • 00:14:08.964 --> 00:14:10.199
  • Dirt.
  • 00:14:10.199 --> 00:14:11.901
  • It is hard for me to receive from you, 'cause i know
  • 00:14:11.901 --> 00:14:15.437
  • Everything you don't do right.
  • 00:14:15.437 --> 00:14:16.939
  • I'm going to come back to ya'll.
  • 00:14:16.939 --> 00:14:21.710
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:14:21.710 --> 00:14:23.612
  • It's hard to get the treasure, when you know everyone's flaws.
  • 00:14:23.612 --> 00:14:31.053
  • It is very difficult to receive from somebody that you have seen
  • 00:14:32.288 --> 00:14:36.992
  • Them make mistakes, and he said, 'it ain't whether, or not
  • 00:14:36.992 --> 00:14:41.597
  • They've been perfect.' he said, 'it's whether, or not you can
  • 00:14:41.597 --> 00:14:44.500
  • Receive them'.
  • 00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.768
  • He said, 'and if you can receive your peers, your family, your
  • 00:14:45.768 --> 00:14:50.139
  • Brothers, your sisters, family members, people at the family
  • 00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:53.709
  • Reunion, even if you still attend them, 'cause you don't
  • 00:14:53.709 --> 00:14:56.145
  • Like none of 'em.
  • 00:14:56.145 --> 00:15:00.449
  • People you work with, co-laborers, employees', he
  • 00:15:01.483 --> 00:15:04.987
  • Said, 'if you can receive people on your level.' he said, 'there
  • 00:15:04.987 --> 00:15:08.290
  • Are people that i package a miracle in, there are people
  • 00:15:08.290 --> 00:15:11.493
  • Standing at the water fountain there, people at the coke
  • 00:15:11.493 --> 00:15:13.729
  • Machine, there are people pouring coffee, and we don't
  • 00:15:13.729 --> 00:15:18.100
  • Recognize moments, and we've been praying all morning for god
  • 00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:22.137
  • To give us an answer, and then susie comes up, and you go to
  • 00:15:22.137 --> 00:15:25.007
  • Church with susie, and you work with susie, you've known susie
  • 00:15:25.007 --> 00:15:27.710
  • 13 years, and susie says, 'you know, me, and my husband, we
  • 00:15:27.710 --> 00:15:30.913
  • Just felt like we needed to pray for you this morning.' and you
  • 00:15:30.913 --> 00:15:34.583
  • Started pouring coffee.
  • 00:15:34.583 --> 00:15:35.985
  • 'thank you, i need it.
  • 00:15:35.985 --> 00:15:37.519
  • Please keep up', and you missed it.
  • 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:43.092
  • You didn't recognize while you were praying, god was talking to
  • 00:15:43.092 --> 00:15:45.661
  • Somebody else, and god was putting the answer for you in
  • 00:15:45.661 --> 00:15:50.833
  • Them, but you didn't recognize your kingdom moment, and you
  • 00:15:50.833 --> 00:15:55.804
  • Overlooked them, because you couldn't see a treasure.
  • 00:15:55.804 --> 00:15:58.107
  • All you saw was susie, and you know susie, and you know all the
  • 00:15:58.107 --> 00:16:01.210
  • Problems susie, and her husband's had, and you know all
  • 00:16:01.210 --> 00:16:03.645
  • The problems that susie's kids have had, and you know susie
  • 00:16:03.645 --> 00:16:06.682
  • Declared bankruptcy two times, and you know her credit ain't
  • 00:16:06.682 --> 00:16:10.019
  • Good, you know she still owes taxes, and you know everything
  • 00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:13.022
  • About susie, god couldn't use susie.
  • 00:16:13.022 --> 00:16:15.357
  • I wanna tell you, you have no idea who you're sitting beside,
  • 00:16:15.357 --> 00:16:23.799
  • There are treasures all over this room right now, and god had
  • 00:16:24.967 --> 00:16:28.670
  • Packaged miracles, and if you would just be able to honor the
  • 00:16:28.670 --> 00:16:32.107
  • Person on the right, and the left, the front, and the back,
  • 00:16:32.107 --> 00:16:34.743
  • There's no telling what could happen to you before you leave
  • 00:16:34.743 --> 00:16:37.379
  • This building today.
  • 00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:38.313
  • Excuse me, i gotta shout hallelujah.
  • 00:16:38.313 --> 00:16:40.349
  • You're preaching ron carpenter, you are preaching.
  • 00:16:40.349 --> 00:16:52.428
  • What about these little ones?
  • 00:16:53.062 --> 00:16:56.598
  • People you think are so messed up, they need you.
  • 00:16:57.599 --> 00:17:06.341
  • This is hard preaching.
  • 00:17:06.842 --> 00:17:11.380
  • Can you receive 'em?
  • 00:17:11.847 --> 00:17:24.226
  • Now, second corinthians 5:14 through 17.
  • 00:17:12.815 --> 00:17:30.099
  • This is a scripture i've been waiting on for five weeks.
  • 00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:33.869
  • I have preached this scripture before, and i have often said it
  • 00:17:35.070 --> 00:17:37.639
  • May be the most difficult scripture in the entire bible,
  • 00:17:37.639 --> 00:17:41.510
  • And my bible's got 2000 pages in it, that's saying a lot, but as
  • 00:17:42.744 --> 00:17:47.216
  • Far as personal challenge from god, this is difficult, but i
  • 00:17:47.216 --> 00:17:53.956
  • Want you to watch the consistency of what i've been
  • 00:17:53.956 --> 00:17:56.558
  • Teaching.
  • 00:17:56.558 --> 00:17:57.793
  • 'for the love of christ compels us, because of the depth at
  • 00:17:57.793 --> 00:18:05.200
  • Which i have been touched by his love, it has left me no choice.
  • 00:18:06.435 --> 00:18:13.075
  • I am compelled.' this is not casual, i've got a hand in my
  • 00:18:13.075 --> 00:18:18.780
  • Back pushing me.
  • 00:18:18.780 --> 00:18:21.316
  • The love of christ compels us, because we subjective, judge
  • 00:18:22.484 --> 00:18:28.924
  • This way, because i have been so touched by the love of god, and
  • 00:18:28.924 --> 00:18:34.630
  • I have been forgiven so much.' you understand?
  • 00:18:34.630 --> 00:18:37.566
  • The apostle paul is writing this, and when he met christ, he
  • 00:18:37.566 --> 00:18:40.903
  • Was a murderer, he murdered christians, he stood there, and
  • 00:18:40.903 --> 00:18:44.206
  • Clapped while they tortured christians.
  • 00:18:44.206 --> 00:18:47.676
  • And now he's writing over half of the new testament, and he
  • 00:18:47.676 --> 00:18:51.480
  • Says, 'the love of god has reached to such a low place to
  • 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.918
  • Touch if you would, a scumbag like me.' he says, 'now i have
  • 00:18:55.918 --> 00:19:00.889
  • Been loved to the place that i have no choice, i judge this
  • 00:19:00.889 --> 00:19:06.161
  • Way, that if one died for all talking about jesus, then all
  • 00:19:06.161 --> 00:19:11.867
  • Died', in other words, he said, 'this is the way i live, that
  • 00:19:11.867 --> 00:19:16.738
  • Everything about you that i don't like, and is unattractive,
  • 00:19:16.738 --> 00:19:20.108
  • And repels me, when jesus died, that stuff died with him.' it's
  • 00:19:20.108 --> 00:19:29.885
  • Hard to clap for this one, ain't it?
  • 00:19:30.652 --> 00:19:33.655
  • He said, 'this is the way i live'.
  • 00:19:34.389 --> 00:19:37.726
  • He said, 'i live in such a way, everything about you i don't
  • 00:19:38.894 --> 00:19:41.630
  • Like, jesus nailed it to the cross, and he died for all that
  • 00:19:41.630 --> 00:19:48.370
  • Those who live, they should live for him.
  • 00:19:48.370 --> 00:19:51.273
  • They need to act like they got some sense, but all the time
  • 00:19:51.273 --> 00:19:53.809
  • They don't', and by the way, i know you think everybody else
  • 00:19:53.809 --> 00:19:56.945
  • Need to act like they got some sense, but there's been some
  • 00:19:56.945 --> 00:19:59.815
  • People probably thought you needed to act like you needed to
  • 00:19:59.815 --> 00:20:01.917
  • Have some sense, and he died for all that those who live should
  • 00:20:01.917 --> 00:20:08.557
  • Live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them,
  • 00:20:09.758 --> 00:20:14.129
  • And rose again.
  • 00:20:14.129 --> 00:20:15.397
  • He said, 'people should live a life so sold out to the one that
  • 00:20:15.397 --> 00:20:20.302
  • Sold out to them'.
  • 00:20:20.302 --> 00:20:21.169
  • He said, 'but that don't matter'.
  • 00:20:21.169 --> 00:20:25.173
  • He said, 'the love of christ compels me to whatever i don't
  • 00:20:25.173 --> 00:20:28.510
  • Like about them, when jesus died, it died too.' now here is
  • 00:20:28.510 --> 00:20:32.347
  • The toughest scripture in all the bible to me.
  • 00:20:32.347 --> 00:20:36.985
  • Therefore, therefore means what you are about to hear is
  • 00:20:36.985 --> 00:20:41.089
  • Connected to what you just heard.
  • 00:20:41.089 --> 00:20:44.126
  • 'because i've been so touched by love, it compels me to live with
  • 00:20:44.126 --> 00:20:49.298
  • This type of judgment, that when jesus died, everything negative
  • 00:20:49.298 --> 00:20:51.300
  • About everybody died with him.' i don't even see it, i'm blind
  • 00:20:51.300 --> 00:20:52.634
  • To it.
  • 00:20:52.634 --> 00:20:53.869
  • Therefore, from now on, i can't do nothing about here back.
  • 00:20:53.869 --> 00:20:55.137
  • Somebody say, from now on, i can go, and change what i used to
  • 00:20:55.137 --> 00:20:56.405
  • Do, and how i use to act, but from here on, we regard no one,
  • 00:20:56.405 --> 00:20:57.306
  • According to the flesh.
  • 00:20:57.306 --> 00:21:24.833
  • I've gone from 2000 claps, to maybe four.
  • 00:21:25.734 --> 00:21:34.776
  • He said, 'i live in such a place of maturity, that when i see
  • 00:21:35.944 --> 00:21:42.117
  • Everybody coming, i know it's a treasure wrapped up in a field.'
  • 00:21:43.352 --> 00:21:48.323
  • He said, 'but i'm at the place, i don't even see the field.' he
  • 00:21:48.323 --> 00:21:53.395
  • Said, 'i see everybody as a treasure.' can you imagine
  • 00:21:53.395 --> 00:21:58.400
  • Living life like that?
  • 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.335
  • Where nobody got on your nerves, and you didn't want to shoot
  • 00:22:00.335 --> 00:22:02.537
  • Anybody a bird, and flip anybody off, and often you wouldn't mad
  • 00:22:02.537 --> 00:22:05.574
  • At nobody, but you just were so filled with love, that everybody
  • 00:22:05.574 --> 00:22:09.511
  • You saw coming, you couldn't even see see the stuff that
  • 00:22:09.511 --> 00:22:12.280
  • Aggravates you.
  • 00:22:12.280 --> 00:22:13.448
  • All you could see is the treasure of god walking towards
  • 00:22:13.448 --> 00:22:16.118
  • You.
  • 00:22:16.118 --> 00:22:17.619
  • He says, 'i regard no one after the flesh.' he said, 'even
  • 00:22:17.619 --> 00:22:23.625
  • Though we knew christ according to the flesh, now no longer.' he
  • 00:22:23.625 --> 00:22:27.562
  • Said, 'we knew jesus when he was growing up.' he said, 'i
  • 00:22:27.562 --> 00:22:31.066
  • Remember before he started any of his earthly ministry, i
  • 00:22:31.066 --> 00:22:35.704
  • Remember him running his father's business.' he said,
  • 00:22:35.704 --> 00:22:37.973
  • Y'all remember him according to the flesh.' he said, 'but not
  • 00:22:37.973 --> 00:22:40.642
  • Now, because now he's done died, and rose again, so no longer do
  • 00:22:40.642 --> 00:22:45.580
  • I recognize him after the flesh, he's the son of god', and he
  • 00:22:45.580 --> 00:22:49.384
  • Says, 'the love of christ compels me in such a way that i
  • 00:22:49.384 --> 00:22:55.457
  • Will no longer look at your field.' when you don't look at
  • 00:22:55.457 --> 00:22:59.494
  • People's field, god can use them to do anything in your life.
  • 00:22:59.494 --> 00:23:06.701
  • See, i don't want to be a church, we go around dirt
  • 00:23:07.769 --> 00:23:10.906
  • Hunting.
  • 00:23:10.906 --> 00:23:11.773
  • I want us to be a church of gold diggers.
  • 00:23:11.773 --> 00:23:13.041
  • 'what church you go to?' 'i go to that gold digging church over
  • 00:23:13.041 --> 00:23:23.418
  • There.' verse 17 please.
  • 00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:27.522
  • 'therefore, if anyone is in christ, he is a new creation.
  • 00:23:27.522 --> 00:23:33.462
  • Old things have passed away, and old things have become new, i
  • 00:23:34.663 --> 00:23:40.902
  • Don't regard anybody according to the flesh, because if any man
  • 00:23:42.103 --> 00:23:46.007
  • Be born again, all that stuff is dead, and now i just see a new
  • 00:23:46.007 --> 00:23:49.911
  • Creation in christ jesus.' the kingdom is a treasure hidden in
  • 00:23:49.911 --> 00:23:56.785
  • A field.
  • 00:23:56.785 --> 00:24:25.881
  • I hope that you've been enjoying these messages.
  • 00:24:26.848 --> 00:24:31.586
  • I'm so excited about what god is saying, and i just want to tell
  • 00:24:31.586 --> 00:24:34.122
  • You as we close here, we are coming off 2018, one of the
  • 00:24:34.122 --> 00:24:39.127
  • Greatest statistical years with each of you in history.
  • 00:24:39.127 --> 00:24:43.565
  • I will talk more about that the first of the year, but i just
  • 00:24:43.565 --> 00:24:46.768
  • Want to close out this season of gratitude with gratitude.
  • 00:24:46.768 --> 00:24:51.072
  • I don't ever want to forget to say thank you.
  • 00:24:51.072 --> 00:24:53.542
  • I don't ever want to forget to tell you what you mean to me.
  • 00:24:53.542 --> 00:24:56.711
  • You say, 'pastor, i haven't met you', we don't have to.
  • 00:24:56.711 --> 00:24:59.347
  • We're connected in the spirit.
  • 00:24:59.347 --> 00:25:00.515
  • We believe the same things.
  • 00:25:00.515 --> 00:25:01.716
  • We want the same things.
  • 00:25:01.716 --> 00:25:02.951
  • We're after the same things.
  • 00:25:02.951 --> 00:25:05.020
  • I'm running as hard as i can, and you're running with me, and
  • 00:25:05.020 --> 00:25:07.689
  • Your support has helped make this possible.
  • 00:25:07.689 --> 00:25:09.724
  • I just wanna say thank you, and it is even more miraculous that
  • 00:25:09.724 --> 00:25:13.962
  • This happened in a transition year, when me, and my wife
  • 00:25:13.962 --> 00:25:17.265
  • Embraced this new challenge of the west coast, what is now i
  • 00:25:17.265 --> 00:25:20.802
  • Found out, the most un-reached region of american.
  • 00:25:20.802 --> 00:25:24.506
  • I'm gonna say it again, the most un-reached region of america,
  • 00:25:24.506 --> 00:25:27.309
  • But i believe god can unlock it, and you've believed with me.
  • 00:25:27.309 --> 00:25:31.246
  • So, as we attempt to do what god wants to hear in this region,
  • 00:25:31.246 --> 00:25:34.249
  • And all over the world, you've become a partner with me, and to
  • 00:25:34.249 --> 00:25:37.519
  • That i say thank you.
  • 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:38.987
  • Now i know that a lot of times at the year end, there are
  • 00:25:38.987 --> 00:25:41.356
  • People who get different types of commissions, bonuses, stock
  • 00:25:41.356 --> 00:25:45.093
  • Options.
  • 00:25:45.093 --> 00:25:45.961
  • I don't know, have you got that tithe?
  • 00:25:45.961 --> 00:25:47.529
  • Have you got the offering in yet before the end of the year?
  • 00:25:47.529 --> 00:25:51.800
  • Is there anything else god would have you to plant?
  • 00:25:51.800 --> 00:25:55.136
  • What are you believing for?
  • 00:25:55.136 --> 00:25:56.905
  • Maybe this is that soul.
  • 00:25:56.905 --> 00:25:58.173
  • Just ask god what he would have you to do, and for your first
  • 00:25:58.173 --> 00:26:01.042
  • Month's gift, even if it's at the end of the year, and you're
  • 00:26:01.042 --> 00:26:03.345
  • A first time giver, whether it's a covenant partner on a monthly
  • 00:26:03.345 --> 00:26:06.414
  • Basis, or whether it's just one time, we're going to give you
  • 00:26:06.414 --> 00:26:09.517
  • This gift in the season of giving.
  • 00:26:09.517 --> 00:26:11.019
  • We want to say thank you for giving to this ministry.
  • 00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:13.755
