- 00:00:03.053 --> 00:00:16.132
- Hey guys, i want to welcome you to ron carpenter television.
- 00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:20.403
- We right now are in the down stretch of understanding the
- 00:00:20.403 --> 00:00:23.673
- Code.
- 00:00:23.673 --> 00:00:24.340
- What does that mean?
- 00:00:24.340 --> 00:00:25.608
- That means i believe that there is something that we can do on
- 00:00:25.608 --> 00:00:29.312
- This side that unlocks something great in somebody else.
- 00:00:29.312 --> 00:00:33.016
- You know, many times we keep things on the inside of us till
- 00:00:33.016 --> 00:00:36.753
- We get around the right person.
- 00:00:36.753 --> 00:00:38.221
- I've always talked about environment.
- 00:00:38.221 --> 00:00:39.656
- You put a plant in the right environment, it'll thrive.
- 00:00:39.656 --> 00:00:42.592
- You don't have to pray over it.
- 00:00:42.592 --> 00:00:44.160
- You don't have to sit there and praise over it.
- 00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.596
- You don't have to fast over it, just get it in the right
- 00:00:46.596 --> 00:00:48.531
- Environment.
- 00:00:48.531 --> 00:00:49.199
- People are no different.
- 00:00:49.199 --> 00:00:51.234
- Many times if you just get somebody in the right
- 00:00:51.234 --> 00:00:53.369
- Environment, they can totally change, and they can begin to
- 00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:55.772
- Thrive.
- 00:00:55.772 --> 00:00:56.973
- Well, what is the environment where a treasure inside of
- 00:00:56.973 --> 00:00:59.709
- Somebody is unearthed.
- 00:00:59.709 --> 00:01:00.777
- It's the environment of honor.
- 00:01:00.777 --> 00:01:03.146
- There is an honor code that we've been teaching, and we're
- 00:01:03.146 --> 00:01:06.049
- About to sum this up.
- 00:01:06.049 --> 00:01:07.550
- You say, "well, i haven't heard all the rest of it."
- 00:01:07.550 --> 00:01:09.552
- Every one of these messages stand alone, but there's great
- 00:01:09.552 --> 00:01:11.988
- Truth in what i'm about to tell you now.
- 00:01:11.988 --> 00:01:14.157
- I'm going to tell you something, some of you are just one step
- 00:01:14.157 --> 00:01:16.526
- Away from pulling greatness out of somebody who may have never
- 00:01:16.526 --> 00:01:19.863
- Thought anything quality was on the inside.
- 00:01:19.863 --> 00:01:22.098
- I want you to go with me as we begin to finish out the honor
- 00:01:22.098 --> 00:01:27.270
- Code.
- 00:01:27.270 --> 00:01:28.538
- There are people in the bible that recognize, and here's what
- 00:01:28.538 --> 00:01:31.207
- I'll do, people, places and moments.
- 00:01:31.207 --> 00:01:35.912
- This is very important.
- 00:01:35.912 --> 00:01:39.149
- The kingdom operates not by learning, but by recognition.
- 00:01:39.149 --> 00:01:45.054
- Recognition of people, recognition of places,
- 00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:50.760
- Recognition of ...
- 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.596
- "for there i will command my blessing," a place, a place
- 00:01:53.596 --> 00:01:59.502
- Called unity.
- 00:01:59.502 --> 00:02:00.737
- He said, "when i see unity," he said, "i don't even give my
- 00:02:00.737 --> 00:02:03.806
- Blessing an option to make up its mind."
- 00:02:03.806 --> 00:02:05.608
- He said, "i command it.
- 00:02:05.608 --> 00:02:08.344
- When i see unity, there."
- 00:02:08.912 --> 00:02:12.415
- I was on my way to university of south carolina, and two weeks
- 00:02:12.415 --> 00:02:15.151
- Before i enrolled i got called by a basketball coach to come
- 00:02:15.151 --> 00:02:19.255
- Play at another college.
- 00:02:19.255 --> 00:02:21.391
- Had i had not been there i wouldn't be here, because that's
- 00:02:21.391 --> 00:02:27.263
- Where i got saved and where i met god, and it had to happen
- 00:02:27.263 --> 00:02:32.235
- There.
- 00:02:32.235 --> 00:02:35.939
- Elijah is confronting ahab and jezabel, who's trying to take
- 00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:40.543
- Israel into baal worship.
- 00:02:40.543 --> 00:02:42.478
- He confronted them, then he had to go hide because after you
- 00:02:42.478 --> 00:02:45.081
- Confront the king and the queen, you just can't go out to eat
- 00:02:45.081 --> 00:02:47.750
- Anywhere.
- 00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:49.352
- So, god said, "go to the brook cherith, i will have the ravens
- 00:02:49.352 --> 00:02:52.855
- Provide for you there."
- 00:02:52.855 --> 00:02:54.490
- So ravens brought him food and there was a brook called cherith
- 00:02:54.490 --> 00:02:57.560
- And he drank, and he would have gone to any other pond or
- 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.496
- Watering hole he would have starved, and he would have
- 00:03:00.496 --> 00:03:04.133
- Thirst to death.
- 00:03:04.133 --> 00:03:04.901
- Why?
- 00:03:04.901 --> 00:03:06.035
- Because god said, "i'll provide for you right there."
- 00:03:06.035 --> 00:03:08.204
- Then god said, "get up and go to zerephath, for i've commanded a
- 00:03:08.204 --> 00:03:11.307
- Widow to provide for you there."
- 00:03:11.307 --> 00:03:13.376
- And if he'd of stayed at cherith he would have died.
- 00:03:13.376 --> 00:03:16.079
- And sometime because we won't go there, god has to make you
- 00:03:16.079 --> 00:03:19.415
- Uncomfortable here to make you go to the there.
- 00:03:19.415 --> 00:03:22.485
- You all ain't saying nothing.
- 00:03:22.485 --> 00:03:24.087
- So god let the ravens quit bringing food and he let the
- 00:03:24.087 --> 00:03:26.990
- Brook dry up, because sometime god is trying to make you to
- 00:03:26.990 --> 00:03:30.627
- Make a decision that you wouldn't make on your own.
- 00:03:30.627 --> 00:03:33.896
- So god let the brook dry up, and god let the ravens quit coming.
- 00:03:33.896 --> 00:03:38.167
- Don't mean you're a bad person.
- 00:03:38.167 --> 00:03:39.736
- It just means god is using that to move you into a place that
- 00:03:39.736 --> 00:03:43.473
- You wouldn't move to yourself.
- 00:03:43.473 --> 00:03:44.674
- Why?
- 00:03:44.674 --> 00:03:45.908
- Because god said, "i'm no longer providing for you here, i'm
- 00:03:45.908 --> 00:03:48.044
- Providing for you there."
- 00:03:48.044 --> 00:03:49.212
- I'm trying to teach and that█s getting all
- 00:03:49.212 --> 00:03:53.650
- Over me again.
- 00:03:53.650 --> 00:03:55.818
- Hallelujah.
- 00:03:56.152 --> 00:04:00.823
- The kingdom is recognized.
- 00:04:01.424 --> 00:04:06.229
- Samuel the prophet, god said, "go down to jesse's house and
- 00:04:07.430 --> 00:04:12.735
- Anoint me a king."
- 00:04:12.735 --> 00:04:15.471
- Problem was, david was not even invited into the room.
- 00:04:15.471 --> 00:04:19.108
- Talking about rejection.
- 00:04:19.108 --> 00:04:20.943
- All the brothers got to go in, but him.
- 00:04:20.943 --> 00:04:24.280
- Samuel said, surely this is the one.
- 00:04:25.048 --> 00:04:27.950
- Went to the next one, surely ...
- 00:04:27.950 --> 00:04:29.285
- And god said, "no, i've reject them."
- 00:04:29.285 --> 00:04:30.620
- He said, "you're looking on the outer man."
- 00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:31.954
- He said, "i see the inside."
- 00:04:31.954 --> 00:04:33.156
- In other words, even the king prophetic eye of a prophet
- 00:04:33.156 --> 00:04:36.392
- Didn't learn how to recognize.
- 00:04:36.392 --> 00:04:39.062
- He says, "we're not looking at the same thing."
- 00:04:39.996 --> 00:04:41.998
- He says, "you're looking at the field, he said, "i see the
- 00:04:41.998 --> 00:04:44.534
- Treasure."
- 00:04:44.534 --> 00:04:45.768
- He said, "and you ain't looked at david, because you see a
- 00:04:45.768 --> 00:04:48.071
- Little 12 year old shepherd boy."
- 00:04:48.071 --> 00:04:49.405
- He said, "but i see a king."
- 00:04:49.405 --> 00:04:51.974
- So you got a king packaged in a shepherd boy's body.
- 00:04:51.974 --> 00:04:56.112
- You got a treasure hidden in a field, and so god had to teach
- 00:04:56.112 --> 00:04:59.649
- Even his profit not to look at the field, but to look at the
- 00:04:59.649 --> 00:05:04.253
- Treasure.
- 00:05:04.253 --> 00:05:05.054
- He said, "is this all your sons?"
- 00:05:05.054 --> 00:05:06.255
- He said, "yeah, got one, but surely not him.
- 00:05:06.255 --> 00:05:08.324
- He's out here taking care of sheep," and by the way, god
- 00:05:08.324 --> 00:05:11.427
- Never calls lazy people.
- 00:05:11.427 --> 00:05:14.297
- God always calls the one that's doing something.
- 00:05:14.297 --> 00:05:17.900
- So the brothers went in the house doing nothing, they got
- 00:05:17.900 --> 00:05:20.336
- Passed over.
- 00:05:20.336 --> 00:05:21.537
- The one out back making it happen, he was the one that got
- 00:05:21.537 --> 00:05:23.973
- Chosen.
- 00:05:23.973 --> 00:05:25.441
- Then samuel took the horn of oil and the horn of oil moved, and
- 00:05:25.441 --> 00:05:29.212
- All the brothers that hated on david and wouldn't even let him
- 00:05:29.212 --> 00:05:31.914
- Come in the house.
- 00:05:31.914 --> 00:05:33.116
- The bible says that he has anointed him with oil in front
- 00:05:33.116 --> 00:05:35.618
- Of his brothers.
- 00:05:35.618 --> 00:05:36.853
- I'm here to tell you, god will make people stand there and
- 00:05:36.853 --> 00:05:39.922
- Watch you get your own.
- 00:05:39.922 --> 00:05:41.290
- They'll make the people that didn't invite you to the party,
- 00:05:41.290 --> 00:05:44.394
- Stand there and watch you get blessed.
- 00:05:44.394 --> 00:05:46.629
- Who am i talking to?
- 00:05:46.629 --> 00:05:48.231
- God is about to pour some oil on you, and everybody who didn't
- 00:05:48.231 --> 00:05:52.268
- Invite to have to deal with the fact god chose you anyway.
- 00:05:52.268 --> 00:05:57.006
- You weren't qualified.
- 00:05:57.006 --> 00:05:58.274
- You didn't deserve it.
- 00:05:58.274 --> 00:05:59.542
- You didn't earn it, but god said that's who i want to give the
- 00:05:59.542 --> 00:06:02.612
- Oil to.
- 00:06:02.612 --> 00:06:03.613
- I didn't even preach this in the first service.
- 00:06:03.613 --> 00:06:06.916
- What am i doing?
- 00:06:06.916 --> 00:06:15.525
- We know that zacharias, john the baptist father, was a priest.
- 00:06:16.726 --> 00:06:21.964
- He dedicated children, and in jewish customs circumcised every
- 00:06:21.964 --> 00:06:26.068
- Male child on that day by the hundreds of thousands; that was
- 00:06:26.068 --> 00:06:28.838
- His job.
- 00:06:28.838 --> 00:06:30.072
- Then they laid jesus in his hand, he said, "ho, my eyes have
- 00:06:30.072 --> 00:06:35.077
- Seen the constellation."
- 00:06:35.611 --> 00:06:40.950
- There was nothing about this baby that looked any different
- 00:06:42.118 --> 00:06:44.420
- Than any other baby, but he recognized, "i'm holding
- 00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:48.291
- Something different in my hands."
- 00:06:48.291 --> 00:06:51.727
- Recognizing people, recognizing places, this is the way the
- 00:06:51.727 --> 00:06:55.131
- Kingdom works.
- 00:06:55.131 --> 00:06:57.366
- My life has moved more in moments of recognition, than in
- 00:06:57.366 --> 00:07:02.939
- Years of labor.
- 00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:05.708
- Just recognizing i'm in a moment, or i'm in front of the
- 00:07:06.809 --> 00:07:09.312
- Right person, or i'm in the right place.
- 00:07:09.312 --> 00:07:13.382
- I'm trying to get your antennas up so you understand kingdom
- 00:07:13.382 --> 00:07:16.185
- Moments.
- 00:07:16.185 --> 00:07:17.386
- May i shift now from the scriptures, and just tell you
- 00:07:17.386 --> 00:07:21.891
- Stories that bear this out.
- 00:07:21.891 --> 00:07:23.359
- I don't know your story.
- 00:07:23.359 --> 00:07:24.560
- So the only one i can tell mine, and see if you enjoy them.
- 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.698
- Tell your neighbor, say, "god's about to move you.
- 00:07:28.698 --> 00:07:31.033
- God's about to ..."
- 00:07:31.033 --> 00:07:35.404
- In the '90s when i was in my twenties, don't start doing the
- 00:07:35.404 --> 00:07:38.241
- Math.
- 00:07:38.241 --> 00:07:44.046
- I've always thought of myself as, i try to be a nice guy.
- 00:07:45.214 --> 00:07:48.050
- I really do.
- 00:07:48.050 --> 00:07:49.252
- I tried to be cordial, i try to be pleasant to be around.
- 00:07:49.252 --> 00:07:51.454
- I don't think i'm high maintenance.
- 00:07:51.454 --> 00:07:55.057
- But i was in that stage of trying to make some connections.
- 00:07:55.057 --> 00:07:59.228
- I was alone and i was tired of being alone, i was on an island.
- 00:07:59.228 --> 00:08:03.432
- Everywhere i went, i don't care what it was, i always ended up
- 00:08:03.432 --> 00:08:05.868
- By myself.
- 00:08:05.868 --> 00:08:07.670
- Everybody would be nice to me, everybody would shake my hand,
- 00:08:07.670 --> 00:08:09.939
- Everybody would introduce themself; but when it came time
- 00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:12.074
- To sit down, i sit at the table by myself.
- 00:08:12.074 --> 00:08:13.743
- When it came time to eat, i ate the meal by myself.
- 00:08:13.743 --> 00:08:18.915
- Everybody would sit on the row, but sit five seats down.
- 00:08:18.915 --> 00:08:22.919
- I didn't understand that.
- 00:08:23.486 --> 00:08:25.755
- Then a man in the late '90s came into my life and said, "you're
- 00:08:26.956 --> 00:08:30.059
- In a world and in a denomination, and come from a
- 00:08:30.059 --> 00:08:31.394
- Denomination that has only recognized pastors.
- 00:08:31.394 --> 00:08:32.728
- But god gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and
- 00:08:32.728 --> 00:08:34.096
- Teachers to build the church; not just pastors."
- 00:08:34.096 --> 00:08:35.431
- He said, "the reason you're always alone is, because you're
- 00:08:35.431 --> 00:08:36.766
- Not a pastor."
- 00:08:36.766 --> 00:08:37.433
- He said, "you're apostolic."
- 00:08:37.433 --> 00:08:38.668
- He said, "and you will spend the rest of your life unlocking
- 00:08:38.668 --> 00:08:39.435
- Things."
- 00:08:39.435 --> 00:08:40.636
- He said, "you will spend the rest of your life unlocking
- 00:08:40.636 --> 00:08:51.781
- People."
- 00:08:52.048 --> 00:08:53.683
- He said, "you will spend the rest of your life unlocking
- 00:08:53.683 --> 00:08:55.484
- Territories, and unlocking regions."
- 00:08:55.484 --> 00:08:56.819
- He said, "you'll spend the rest of your life,' i began to weep
- 00:08:56.819 --> 00:08:58.688
- And i begin to bawl, because the man was beginning to bring
- 00:08:58.688 --> 00:09:15.805
- Clarity to a place of confusion on the inside of me.
- 00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:20.710
- I was confused.
- 00:09:20.710 --> 00:09:21.510
- I didn't understand.
- 00:09:21.510 --> 00:09:23.045
- But i want to do things nobody else wants to do, and i want to
- 00:09:23.045 --> 00:09:25.448
- Talk about things they don't want to talk about.
- 00:09:25.448 --> 00:09:27.984
- What they run from, i run to.
- 00:09:27.984 --> 00:09:29.652
- I run toward it and i'm excited about it.
- 00:09:29.652 --> 00:09:34.690
- They dread it, and i can't wait to get there.
- 00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:37.326
- I want to solve that problem.
- 00:09:37.326 --> 00:09:38.527
- I want to unlock that thing.
- 00:09:38.527 --> 00:09:39.562
- I want to do that thing that's never been done.
- 00:09:39.562 --> 00:09:41.697
- I want somebody to tell me my god can't do it, because if you
- 00:09:41.697 --> 00:09:45.267
- Tell me my god can't do it, oh, i'm going to take my faith and
- 00:09:45.267 --> 00:09:50.172
- Run straight to it 100 miles an hour.
- 00:09:50.172 --> 00:09:56.445
- But what you don't know about this person is, there is
- 00:09:57.546 --> 00:10:01.317
- Probably no one i disliked in the earth more than this person.
- 00:10:01.317 --> 00:10:12.461
- I didn't like anything about ...
- 00:10:13.095 --> 00:10:14.830
- Oh, y'all too holy over here.
- 00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:16.032
- I'm going over here.
- 00:10:16.032 --> 00:10:17.433
- I'm going over ...
- 00:10:17.433 --> 00:10:18.467
- Y'all pray for me.
- 00:10:18.467 --> 00:10:19.735
- Y'all pray for them.
- 00:10:19.735 --> 00:10:22.972
- We had nothing in common.
- 00:10:22.972 --> 00:10:25.508
- The way he did things repelled me on a level you can't even
- 00:10:26.676 --> 00:10:32.248
- Understand.
- 00:10:32.248 --> 00:10:33.883
- I still have conversations about him today, and it's like it gets
- 00:10:33.883 --> 00:10:37.053
- Caught in my throat.
- 00:10:37.053 --> 00:10:38.721
- God took a word that unlocked my future, and wrapped it in a
- 00:10:38.721 --> 00:10:48.464
- Person.
- 00:10:48.698 --> 00:10:49.765
- Did y'all pray for me while i walked over there?
- 00:10:49.765 --> 00:10:56.205
- I'm going to give you all that.
- 00:10:56.205 --> 00:11:01.210
- I don't know how else to say it.
- 00:11:01.210 --> 00:11:02.478
- I'm just going to say it plain, that i just flat didn't like.
- 00:11:02.478 --> 00:11:04.180
- Didn't want to be around him.
- 00:11:04.180 --> 00:11:06.949
- One of them people, if i saw him in a room, i'd walk ...
- 00:11:06.949 --> 00:11:10.119
- Now, i know y'all have never done that.
- 00:11:10.119 --> 00:11:14.523
- You never saw him in the mall, and you saw him on that row, and
- 00:11:14.523 --> 00:11:22.565
- You ...
- 00:11:22.798 --> 00:11:23.899
- Yep.
- 00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:25.301
- You know why you're laughing?
- 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.936
- Because you did it last week.
- 00:11:26.936 --> 00:11:28.537
- That's why you're ...
- 00:11:28.537 --> 00:11:29.638
- I mean, this guy's word revolutionized my life, and
- 00:11:29.638 --> 00:11:37.379
- Changed the trajectory of my whole life and set it on a whole
- 00:11:38.547 --> 00:11:43.652
- Another course.
- 00:11:43.652 --> 00:11:44.453
- I'm going to tell you something.
- 00:11:44.453 --> 00:11:45.821
- Had that guy not spoken, he sent me on a journey of studying what
- 00:11:45.821 --> 00:11:50.159
- That meant and trying to discover what am i?
- 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.262
- Because i knew i wasn't the same as everybody else.
- 00:11:53.262 --> 00:11:55.965
- That was made clear.
- 00:11:55.965 --> 00:11:57.867
- But i didn't know what i was, and he sent me on a journey that
- 00:11:57.867 --> 00:12:01.203
- Just unlocked things, and unlocked things, and unlocked
- 00:12:01.203 --> 00:12:03.773
- Things.
- 00:12:03.773 --> 00:12:04.874
- Then 20 years later i found myself here, having the
- 00:12:04.874 --> 00:12:07.143
- Privilege of being your pastor in this area.
- 00:12:07.143 --> 00:12:09.678
- What happened is, because even though he had a field i didn't
- 00:12:09.678 --> 00:12:13.516
- Like, but god put a word, a treasure on the inside of him,
- 00:12:13.516 --> 00:12:17.653
- And i had to recognize god is using this man right now.
- 00:12:17.653 --> 00:12:22.191
- If i had not have honored the vessel, i would have missed my
- 00:12:22.191 --> 00:12:26.996
- Miracle.
- 00:12:26.996 --> 00:12:28.197
- And my life would still be contained in some small area,
- 00:12:28.197 --> 00:12:31.667
- And i would have never moved forward.
- 00:12:31.667 --> 00:12:35.070
- You can get somebody to acting crazy, and you begin to honor
- 00:12:36.272 --> 00:12:39.775
- Him and you can change the whole way that they're acting in the
- 00:12:39.775 --> 00:12:42.511
- Building.
- 00:12:42.511 --> 00:12:43.379
- You can change their behavior by honor.
- 00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:45.047
- You can access greatness by honor.
- 00:12:45.047 --> 00:12:46.816
- You can take somebody that everybody's given up on them,
- 00:12:46.816 --> 00:12:49.952
- And you can begin to honor them.
- 00:12:49.952 --> 00:12:52.121
- Living a life of honor is something that everyone should
- 00:12:52.121 --> 00:12:55.224
- Want to do.
- 00:12:55.224 --> 00:12:56.492
- In this series, the code, from ron carpenter, you'll learn how
- 00:12:56.492 --> 00:12:59.595
- Honoring others attracts a blessing from god.
- 00:12:59.595 --> 00:13:01.797
- It's amazing how god will take a treasure, and say, "i'm gonna
- 00:13:01.797 --> 00:13:05.534
- Make you honor something that you don't like.
- 00:13:05.534 --> 00:13:08.037
- I'm going to make you honor somebody that hasn't treated you
- 00:13:08.037 --> 00:13:11.440
- Well."
- 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.675
- Then when you operate in honor, all of a sudden god unlocks
- 00:13:12.675 --> 00:13:15.544
- Something on the inside of him, that can turn around and bless
- 00:13:15.544 --> 00:13:19.849
- You.
- 00:13:19.849 --> 00:13:21.083

- Or write to the address on your screen.
- 00:13:33.429 --> 00:13:37.900
- The kingdom is like a treasure hidden in the field, and you got
- 00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:42.404
- To know it.
- 00:13:42.404 --> 00:13:44.440
- Even my spirit leaped as though, i didn't like the person my
- 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.010
- Spirit knew, he's speaking on behalf of god to me.
- 00:13:48.010 --> 00:13:56.452
- God was trying to get something to me, but honor, the code,
- 00:13:57.620 --> 00:14:02.524
- Unlocked it.
- 00:14:02.524 --> 00:14:05.127
- We travel along a few years later, and we built this little
- 00:14:06.295 --> 00:14:10.432
- Metal building and we've learned how to mesh 800 chairs in it.
- 00:14:10.432 --> 00:14:16.005
- Problem is i'm having 5,000 in attendance.
- 00:14:16.005 --> 00:14:18.240
- I keep trying the name when we're having services.
- 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.043
- We'd have so many, i'd just forget.
- 00:14:21.043 --> 00:14:23.178
- We were having them on saturday nights.
- 00:14:23.178 --> 00:14:27.616
- We were having them all day, literally, on sundays.
- 00:14:27.616 --> 00:14:30.552
- I don't know if you know what kind of church i'm talking
- 00:14:30.552 --> 00:14:31.887
- About, i don't mean coming in to a 60 minute sermon.
- 00:14:31.887 --> 00:14:34.023
- I'm talking about holy ghost.
- 00:14:34.023 --> 00:14:35.391
- I'm talking about pulling me out on a stretcher sunday night with
- 00:14:35.391 --> 00:14:42.031
- Red bull intravenous.
- 00:14:42.031 --> 00:14:43.299
- I mean i didn't even know my ...
- 00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:45.668
- I was emotionally just a vacuum, i had poured so much.
- 00:14:45.668 --> 00:14:50.105
- For three years, i've preached over 300 times a year.
- 00:14:50.105 --> 00:14:53.943
- I'd go back in the back between services, and cough up blood out
- 00:14:53.943 --> 00:14:56.745
- Of my throat.
- 00:14:56.745 --> 00:14:58.681
- And i mean holy ghost.
- 00:14:58.681 --> 00:15:00.182
- I mean chairs knocked over, and people slapping one another, and
- 00:15:00.182 --> 00:15:04.586
- Babies flying across the room and shoes.
- 00:15:04.586 --> 00:15:06.855
- I mean, people running laps, and i mean stuff happened.
- 00:15:06.855 --> 00:15:09.959
- People fell out over here, and i'm like, "what's going on?"
- 00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:12.394
- And while that's happening over there, somebody getting saved
- 00:15:12.394 --> 00:15:14.430
- Over here.
- 00:15:14.430 --> 00:15:15.731
- Around here, somebody is full of demons, that god's casting them
- 00:15:15.731 --> 00:15:17.967
- Out.
- 00:15:17.967 --> 00:15:18.634
- I mean just holy ghost.
- 00:15:18.634 --> 00:15:19.868
- We would do that all saturday night and all day on sunday,
- 00:15:19.868 --> 00:15:22.838
- While trying to get out and people in there.
- 00:15:22.838 --> 00:15:24.373
- We had raised $4 million, and i was trying to build an $8
- 00:15:24.373 --> 00:15:28.978
- Million, 5,000 seat dome, and i had half the money in the bank
- 00:15:28.978 --> 00:15:33.182
- In cash.
- 00:15:33.182 --> 00:15:34.283
- That's a slam dunk.
- 00:15:34.283 --> 00:15:38.854
- I went to eight lending institutions locally, nobody
- 00:15:38.854 --> 00:15:42.891
- Would touch me.
- 00:15:42.891 --> 00:15:44.760
- They didn't like me.
- 00:15:44.760 --> 00:15:45.594
- They thought i was a loose cannon.
- 00:15:45.594 --> 00:15:46.895
- They thought i was a lone ranger.
- 00:15:46.895 --> 00:15:48.397
- They wanted to have nothing to do with me.
- 00:15:48.397 --> 00:15:50.199
- So then i flew to 13 states to meet with lending institutions.
- 00:15:50.199 --> 00:15:55.938
- I flew all the way out here to make one of them, and they
- 00:15:55.938 --> 00:15:58.807
- Turned me down.
- 00:15:58.807 --> 00:16:00.676
- I'm going to get them,
- 00:16:00.676 --> 00:16:03.912
- Don't go to that bank.
- 00:16:04.413 --> 00:16:09.852
- Getting on planes and flying back five, six, seven hours,
- 00:16:10.986 --> 00:16:15.891
- Dejected, rejected.
- 00:16:15.891 --> 00:16:17.292
- And i'm going back, and my staff is exhausted, and i'm exhausted
- 00:16:17.292 --> 00:16:20.829
- And we can't continue but nobody will work with me.
- 00:16:20.829 --> 00:16:23.632
- I can't get anybody to help.
- 00:16:23.632 --> 00:16:24.833
- So about 30 places turned me down.
- 00:16:24.833 --> 00:16:28.303
- Then finally we had some friends of ours from florida say, "we
- 00:16:28.303 --> 00:16:30.706
- Can tell you and hope are hanging by a thread.
- 00:16:30.706 --> 00:16:32.574
- Y'all have just had it."
- 00:16:32.574 --> 00:16:34.276
- And said, "we tell you what, we're going to pay your
- 00:16:34.276 --> 00:16:36.145
- Expenses.
- 00:16:36.145 --> 00:16:36.845
- Come down here and just rest.
- 00:16:36.845 --> 00:16:38.680
- We got bishop jakes coming in preaching, and we want you to
- 00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:41.984
- Meet him and we want him to speak into your life.
- 00:16:41.984 --> 00:16:44.653
- Just come down here and get away from it all."
- 00:16:44.653 --> 00:16:47.056
- I looked at my wife, i said, "it sounds good, doesn't it?"
- 00:16:47.056 --> 00:16:48.891
- She said, "yeah."
- 00:16:48.891 --> 00:16:49.591
- I said, "let's go and get away."
- 00:16:49.591 --> 00:16:51.093
- So we go, we're in 11,000 seat auditorium in florida, and me
- 00:16:51.093 --> 00:16:55.464
- And hope are sitting on stage right behind bishop jake.
- 00:16:55.464 --> 00:16:59.234
- So bishop jakes goes up to the podium and he starts talking
- 00:16:59.234 --> 00:17:02.571
- About his $45 million building that he just built, and he
- 00:17:02.571 --> 00:17:08.343
- Believing god to pay it off in 36 months.
- 00:17:08.343 --> 00:17:10.679
- Now, all i need is eight.
- 00:17:10.679 --> 00:17:18.620
- So he's built a $45 million building and believing god to
- 00:17:19.788 --> 00:17:24.293
- Pay it off 36 months.
- 00:17:24.293 --> 00:17:26.061
- So, we're sitting in front of this, 11,000 people right behind
- 00:17:26.061 --> 00:17:30.899
- It.
- 00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:31.767
- Then god starts speaking.
- 00:17:31.767 --> 00:17:37.072
- I'm sitting there and god says, "you know, ephesians 6:8 don't
- 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:43.112
- You ron?"
- 00:17:43.112 --> 00:17:44.413
- I'm like, "what you make happen for others, god will make happen
- 00:17:44.413 --> 00:17:45.814
- For you.
- 00:17:45.814 --> 00:17:47.082
- What you make happen this way, god will make happen this way.
- 00:17:47.082 --> 00:17:48.350
- What you make happen for others, god will make happen for you."
- 00:17:48.350 --> 00:17:49.618
- I'm sitting there, and i know where god's going, and god said,
- 00:17:49.618 --> 00:18:00.596
- "i want you to empty all of your accounts and help that man pay
- 00:18:01.797 --> 00:18:06.435
- Off is building."
- 00:18:06.435 --> 00:18:08.403
- What are you clapping about?
- 00:18:08.403 --> 00:18:09.538
- I didn't clap.
- 00:18:09.538 --> 00:18:16.678
- I promise you that, i didn't clap.
- 00:18:17.446 --> 00:18:19.882
- So, i did what any holy ghost filled powerful man would do.
- 00:18:21.083 --> 00:18:23.619
- Me and god just right down the front row, right while bishop
- 00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:27.256
- Jake's talking, 11,000 people, me and god just ...
- 00:18:27.256 --> 00:18:30.159
- Number one, i said, "that ain't god.
- 00:18:30.159 --> 00:18:31.994
- That's the devil.
- 00:18:31.994 --> 00:18:32.794
- God wouldn't tell me to do that."
- 00:18:32.794 --> 00:18:38.367
- I hear it again.
- 00:18:38.734 --> 00:18:40.469
- Now he didn't say, "empty your checking account."
- 00:18:40.469 --> 00:18:42.371
- He said, "empty your accounts," by this time i'm pastoring 5,000
- 00:18:42.371 --> 00:18:48.677
- People.
- 00:18:48.677 --> 00:18:49.344
- I have a worldwide network.
- 00:18:49.344 --> 00:18:50.279
- I'm on tv.
- 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:51.547
- I've administrative fellowship, this was a considerable thing.
- 00:18:51.547 --> 00:18:55.350
- I already had product sales, one book, when god was saying that.
- 00:18:55.350 --> 00:19:04.693
- So i'm sitting there, and i'm going back and forth in front of
- 00:19:05.894 --> 00:19:08.730
- Everybody ...
- 00:19:08.730 --> 00:19:11.934
- With god.
- 00:19:11.934 --> 00:19:13.702
- Then finally i look over at hope, and hope is always
- 00:19:13.702 --> 00:19:16.939
- Generous.
- 00:19:16.939 --> 00:19:17.639
- I look at hope, i said, "hope."
- 00:19:17.639 --> 00:19:21.877
- "what?"
- 00:19:21.877 --> 00:19:22.544
- "i think i just heard god."
- 00:19:22.544 --> 00:19:26.348
- "what did he say?"
- 00:19:26.348 --> 00:19:29.051
- "he said for us to take everything we have, and help
- 00:19:29.051 --> 00:19:31.353
- Bishop pay off that building."
- 00:19:31.353 --> 00:19:35.457
- "what!"
- 00:19:35.457 --> 00:19:36.758
- Just screamed it right there on the stage in front of everybody.
- 00:19:36.758 --> 00:19:39.228
- I'm whispering it.
- 00:19:39.228 --> 00:19:40.028
- "what!"
- 00:19:40.028 --> 00:19:43.966
- So we go back and forth, and we actually go back to the hotel,
- 00:19:45.133 --> 00:19:50.372
- Get online, consolidate all of our accounts, and we give that
- 00:19:50.372 --> 00:19:55.844
- Offering.
- 00:19:55.844 --> 00:19:57.045
- Have you ever heard in the bible the word "heave offering"?
- 00:19:57.045 --> 00:19:59.748
- Heave offering to me is when you have throw up in your throat.
- 00:20:00.949 --> 00:20:04.886
- You can hear a moan come up, you can feel it.
- 00:20:04.886 --> 00:20:21.003
- Then he went to take it, and my arm went ...
- 00:20:21.903 --> 00:20:24.106
- I'm sitting there arguing with god like, "i'm the one ...
- 00:20:24.106 --> 00:20:29.978
- In case you didn't hear his testimony, he's already built a
- 00:20:31.146 --> 00:20:34.116
- Building.
- 00:20:34.116 --> 00:20:38.387
- I'm preaching 300 times a year, i don't have one.
- 00:20:38.387 --> 00:20:41.390
- We went back gave that heave
- 00:20:41.990 --> 00:20:44.126
- Offering, left.
- 00:20:44.126 --> 00:20:45.460
- That was on a thursday night.
- 00:20:45.460 --> 00:20:49.865
- I had to recognize, i was in a moment.
- 00:20:49.865 --> 00:20:52.000
- Remember?
- 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.103
- Recognize people, recognize places, recognize moments.
- 00:20:55.103 --> 00:20:59.841
- I recognize this was my one open window to get that building
- 00:20:59.841 --> 00:21:02.711
- Built, right here.
- 00:21:02.711 --> 00:21:04.446
- Not a meeting with a banker.
- 00:21:04.446 --> 00:21:08.317
- Those were not the moments.
- 00:21:08.917 --> 00:21:11.053
- This was my moment.
- 00:21:11.053 --> 00:21:11.920
- I don't want to tell the guy's name.
- 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.456
- He's a very popular guy, and he has the roughest voice.
- 00:21:14.456 --> 00:21:16.525
- I'll try to imitate his voice.
- 00:21:16.525 --> 00:21:17.759
- So it's sunday afternoon, four days later we fly back home.
- 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:22.698
- I don't have a dime.
- 00:21:22.698 --> 00:21:25.000
- I pastor the 48th largest church in america, and i mean if i want
- 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.171
- A coke, i got to pull out a visa.
- 00:21:29.171 --> 00:21:32.274
- We don't have a dime.
- 00:21:32.274 --> 00:21:38.413
- I get back, it's sunday afternoon, four days.
- 00:21:39.348 --> 00:21:41.717
- Thursday, friday, saturday, sunday.
- 00:21:41.717 --> 00:21:43.051
- Get back home late that night, exhausted.
- 00:21:43.051 --> 00:21:45.954
- I get a phone call.
- 00:21:45.954 --> 00:21:46.688
- "is this ron carpenter?"
- 00:21:46.688 --> 00:21:49.257
- It sounds just like that, except a lot rougher.
- 00:21:49.257 --> 00:21:50.826
- "yes it is."
- 00:21:50.826 --> 00:21:52.461
- "hi, this is," and he said his name.
- 00:21:52.461 --> 00:21:56.898
- He said, "i'm in charlotte, north carolina.
- 00:21:56.898 --> 00:21:59.000
- I'm going to be coming through your city.
- 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:01.136
- I heard you want to build a building."
- 00:22:01.136 --> 00:22:04.005
- This guy was the largest church builder in history.
- 00:22:05.040 --> 00:22:09.144
- He built 1,708 churches, all the largest ones in america, he
- 00:22:09.144 --> 00:22:14.716
- Built them.
- 00:22:14.716 --> 00:22:16.017
- And he's calling me, and i have no idea how he has my cell phone
- 00:22:16.017 --> 00:22:18.587
- Number.
- 00:22:18.587 --> 00:22:19.488
- He said, "i'm coming through your city.
- 00:22:19.488 --> 00:22:21.456
- I would like to meet with you tomorrow."
- 00:22:21.456 --> 00:22:23.091
- I said, "yes sir."
- 00:22:23.091 --> 00:22:27.496
- He said, "do you have your building picked out?"
- 00:22:27.496 --> 00:22:29.197
- I said, "yes sir."
- 00:22:29.197 --> 00:22:30.432
- I said, "it's one like pastor parsley's, about 5,000 seat
- 00:22:30.432 --> 00:22:33.101
- Flipped up in the back."
- 00:22:33.101 --> 00:22:34.002
- I said, "i like that floor plan."
- 00:22:34.002 --> 00:22:35.370
- He said, "i built that building."
- 00:22:35.370 --> 00:22:38.440
- I said, "well, i don't have any of the plans, or drawings or
- 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:40.642
- Anything."
- 00:22:40.642 --> 00:22:41.476
- He said, "i've got all the plans."
- 00:22:41.476 --> 00:22:42.644
- I said, "i don't have any financing in place."
- 00:22:42.644 --> 00:22:45.614
- He said, "i'll finance it."
- 00:22:45.614 --> 00:22:47.549
- What i could not do in two and a half years, because i recognized
- 00:22:47.549 --> 00:22:54.823
- The moment and i acted on that moment, god built me a building,
- 00:22:56.024 --> 00:23:00.162
- Gave me plans and got me finances in four days because i
- 00:23:00.162 --> 00:23:04.433
- Recognized the moment.
- 00:23:04.433 --> 00:23:06.134
- I am talking to somebody, who all you need is one god moment
- 00:23:06.134 --> 00:23:11.573
- To change your life for ever.
- 00:23:11.573 --> 00:23:13.909
- You got to have your antennas up, and be ready for that moment
- 00:23:13.909 --> 00:23:18.013
- When it comes.
- 00:23:18.013 --> 00:23:19.214
- Somebody high five three people say, "you got to know your
- 00:23:19.214 --> 00:23:21.249
- Moment.
- 00:23:21.249 --> 00:23:21.950
- You got to, know your moment.
- 00:23:21.950 --> 00:23:23.518
- You've got to know your moment."
- 00:23:23.518 --> 00:23:54.916
- You know what?
- 00:23:55.283 --> 00:23:56.351
- I know this isn't an easy message that i've been
- 00:23:56.351 --> 00:23:57.719
- Preaching, but i do believe that sometimes, although it may not
- 00:23:57.719 --> 00:24:01.490
- Be easy, i believe it'd be very, very powerful.
- 00:24:01.490 --> 00:24:04.593
- Lord, i just pray now for those that are sitting here saying,
- 00:24:04.593 --> 00:24:07.896
- "you know, i want to operate this way.
- 00:24:07.896 --> 00:24:09.731
- I want to be able to function this way, god."
- 00:24:09.731 --> 00:24:11.633
- That we would see people through the lens that you see them
- 00:24:11.633 --> 00:24:14.169
- Through.
- 00:24:14.169 --> 00:24:15.303
- See them through the love that you see them through.
- 00:24:15.303 --> 00:24:16.538
- Not through what we've gone through, not through pain that
- 00:24:16.538 --> 00:24:19.140
- People may have caused us.
- 00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:20.408
- Not through what we made judge to be good and be bad, but see
- 00:24:20.408 --> 00:24:25.547
- Them like jesus sees him, god.
- 00:24:25.547 --> 00:24:26.982
- We know that honor can unlock greatness, and we want to be the
- 00:24:26.982 --> 00:24:30.685
- Kind of people that honor that way.
- 00:24:30.685 --> 00:24:32.287
- If you watched today, and you don't know jesus christ as your
- 00:24:32.287 --> 00:24:35.290
- Personal savior, it's very simple.
- 00:24:35.290 --> 00:24:37.058
- Bible says, "believe in your heart, confess with your mouth,
- 00:24:37.058 --> 00:24:40.595
- And you can be saved."
- 00:24:40.595 --> 00:24:41.863
- You say, "it's got to be more that that.
- 00:24:41.863 --> 00:24:43.231
- I thought i had to be so good."
- 00:24:43.231 --> 00:24:44.699
- You don't get good to see jesus.
- 00:24:44.699 --> 00:24:46.601
- Jesus meets you, and then jesus makes you good.
- 00:24:46.601 --> 00:24:50.238
- Hallelujah.
- 00:24:50.238 --> 00:24:51.373
- I also want to tell those of you who've been watching ron
- 00:24:51.373 --> 00:24:53.475
- Carpenter ministries and ron carpenter television, thank you
- 00:24:53.475 --> 00:24:56.011

- We're so grateful, we've got great things planned.
- 00:24:57.112 --> 00:24:59.414
- You know, 2018 was a transition year and you were just spot-on.
- 00:24:59.414 --> 00:25:05.253
- You were faithful, you dug in, and with all the odds and ends
- 00:25:05.253 --> 00:25:09.190
- That we missed, and all the things that slipped through the
- 00:25:09.190 --> 00:25:12.727
- Cracks in a 2000 mile transition, you didn't miss a
- 00:25:12.727 --> 00:25:15.931
- Beat.
- 00:25:15.931 --> 00:25:16.765
- God was faithful, and so were you.
- 00:25:16.765 --> 00:25:18.133

- 00:25:18.133 --> 00:25:20.135

- 00:25:23.672 --> 00:25:26.942
- Message of jesus christ, i'm asking for your help.
- 00:25:26.942 --> 00:25:29.878
- I'm asking for you to give like never give, and ask god what
- 00:25:29.878 --> 00:25:33.048
- Would he have you to do.
- 00:25:33.048 --> 00:25:34.282
- I want you to listen to that voice in your spirit, what god
- 00:25:34.282 --> 00:25:37.452
- Would have you do.
- 00:25:37.452 --> 00:25:38.720
- Maybe you've been receiving and maybe you say, "you know what?
- 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:40.889
- I want to give back.
- 00:25:40.889 --> 00:25:41.957
- I want to bless the thing that's been blessing me."
- 00:25:41.957 --> 00:25:44.326

- Can invest your time and your resources.
- 00:25:57.205 --> 00:26:00.008
- The fact that you've given us time, and you're praying about
- 00:26:00.008 --> 00:26:02.744
- Giving resources right here and sewing them into this soil.
- 00:26:02.744 --> 00:26:05.447

- 00:26:14.089 --> 00:26:17.525
- Could ever do by myself or you could do by yourself.
- 00:26:17.525 --> 00:26:20.428
