Ron Carpenter | Ron Carpenter - Encounter (Part 3) | March 31, 2026

(upbeat music)
00:00:01.151 --> 00:00:16.299
- i wanna welcome everyone to ron carpenter television.
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:20.103
Are you ready for "the encounter?"
00:00:20.103 --> 00:00:22.205
That's what we've been preaching.
00:00:22.205 --> 00:00:23.440
That's what we've been talking about.
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.008
I want you to know something,
00:00:25.008 --> 00:00:26.209
I was raised in a church environment
00:00:26.209 --> 00:00:29.446
That put a huge priority on god moments,
00:00:29.446 --> 00:00:32.782
On god experiences.
00:00:32.782 --> 00:00:34.617
We live in a generation today
00:00:34.617 --> 00:00:36.319
Where i think we have given people information,
00:00:36.319 --> 00:00:39.589
But i don't know how many genuine god experiences
00:00:39.589 --> 00:00:42.659
We are offering this next generation.
00:00:42.659 --> 00:00:45.528
Times where they know they have been so influenced
00:00:45.528 --> 00:00:48.131
And so affected by the presence of god
00:00:48.131 --> 00:00:50.300
Where when they leave, they were never the same.
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:52.469
I remember how those moments,
00:00:52.469 --> 00:00:54.037
How those experiences impacted
00:00:54.037 --> 00:00:56.139
And changed my life.
00:00:56.139 --> 00:00:57.273
I can recall how those moments felt
00:00:57.273 --> 00:00:59.676
And what i experienced in those times
00:00:59.676 --> 00:01:01.444
And decisions i made when i got up,
00:01:01.444 --> 00:01:03.613
Saying, "i'll never go back to this
00:01:03.613 --> 00:01:05.181
And i'm leaving this
00:01:05.181 --> 00:01:06.549
And i'm starting this and i'm changing this," why?
00:01:06.549 --> 00:01:08.651
Because the encounter so affected my life
00:01:08.651 --> 00:01:12.789
That i got up and i was never the same.
00:01:12.789 --> 00:01:15.692
We're talking about the encounter here
00:01:15.692 --> 00:01:17.026
Of the time where ruth
00:01:17.026 --> 00:01:18.628
Actually doesn't just pass by,
00:01:18.628 --> 00:01:21.231
Just doesn't have a casual acquaintance
00:01:21.231 --> 00:01:23.433
Or a passing greeting,
00:01:23.433 --> 00:01:25.135
But she meets and experiences boaz
00:01:25.902 --> 00:01:30.273
In a real and powerful way
00:01:30.273 --> 00:01:31.574
For the first time,
00:01:31.574 --> 00:01:32.942
Being a mirror image of our meeting and encounter
00:01:32.942 --> 00:01:35.912
With jesus christ.
00:01:35.912 --> 00:01:36.746
You wanna look at it?
00:01:36.746 --> 00:01:38.281
There are many dynamics and factors that play out here,
00:01:38.281 --> 00:01:40.550
And i wanna talk about 'em and teach 'em to you today.
00:01:40.550 --> 00:01:42.986
Let's take this journey together
00:01:42.986 --> 00:01:45.021
As we go on "the encounter."
00:01:45.021 --> 00:01:47.190
Genesis chapter 2,
00:01:47.624 --> 00:01:49.359
God has created the heavens and the earth,
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.461
He's got everything here,
00:01:51.461 --> 00:01:52.662
And then look what he says.
00:01:52.662 --> 00:01:54.264
Verse 4, "this is the history of the heavens and the earth
00:01:54.264 --> 00:01:57.534
When they were created,
00:01:57.534 --> 00:01:59.102
And the day the lord god made the earth and the heavens,
00:01:59.102 --> 00:02:01.905
Before any plant of the field
00:02:01.905 --> 00:02:03.373
Was in the earth
00:02:03.373 --> 00:02:04.674
And before any herb of the field had grown,
00:02:04.674 --> 00:02:06.643
Before the lord god had not caused it to rain on the earth
00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:11.514
Because there was no man there to till or to tend it,"
00:02:11.514 --> 00:02:15.618
Or the hebrew there means manage it.
00:02:15.618 --> 00:02:18.188
(light music)
00:02:18.188 --> 00:02:21.291
All the seed is in the ground,
00:02:21.925 --> 00:02:25.094
But god will not let it rain
00:02:25.094 --> 00:02:28.665
Because there's no one there to manage it.
00:02:29.566 --> 00:02:35.438
This is a rough one.
00:02:35.905 --> 00:02:39.676
The bible says you were created in christ
00:02:40.543 --> 00:02:44.013
From the foundations of the world.
00:02:44.013 --> 00:02:46.683
You showed up with seed in you
00:02:46.683 --> 00:02:51.054
When you got here.
00:02:51.487 --> 00:02:55.258
The frustration in life
00:02:55.758 --> 00:02:58.027
Is walking around with seed
00:02:58.027 --> 00:02:59.562
That never gets rained on.
00:02:59.562 --> 00:03:04.200
But god halted progress himself.
00:03:04.834 --> 00:03:10.106
This was no demon.
00:03:10.540 --> 00:03:13.042
God said, "i will stop progress
00:03:13.676 --> 00:03:17.714
Until i find a manager.
00:03:17.714 --> 00:03:22.118
I will not rain on seeds you can't manage."
00:03:22.986 --> 00:03:32.328
We are in genesis 2,
00:03:32.795 --> 00:03:34.564
God is laying the laws out
00:03:34.564 --> 00:03:36.799
That will govern the earth.
00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:39.669
And right in genesis 2,
00:03:40.169 --> 00:03:41.671
God said, "i don't care how much seed you got,
00:03:41.671 --> 00:03:45.842
If you don't have the ability to manage it,
00:03:46.776 --> 00:03:49.712
God doesn't give you what you want,
00:03:50.446 --> 00:03:53.316
God doesn't give you what you cry for,
00:03:53.316 --> 00:03:55.885
God don't always give you what you pray for,
00:03:55.885 --> 00:03:57.954
God gives you what you can manage.
00:03:57.954 --> 00:04:00.556
(audience clapping)
00:04:01.024 --> 00:04:02.625
And what you don't understand is,
00:04:02.625 --> 00:04:04.260
While you are on a small level,
00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:07.196
God takes notes.
00:04:07.196 --> 00:04:10.800
And god never watches what you do with a big thing,
00:04:11.801 --> 00:04:14.604
He watches what you do with a small thing.
00:04:14.604 --> 00:04:17.607
And the faithfulness with the small thing
00:04:18.474 --> 00:04:20.677
Creates the opening for the big thing.
00:04:20.677 --> 00:04:24.714
The problem with our generation is,
00:04:24.714 --> 00:04:26.683
We do nothing with the small thing,
00:04:26.683 --> 00:04:29.752
Waiting for the big thing.
00:04:29.752 --> 00:04:31.421
With god, the big thing never comes
00:04:32.221 --> 00:04:34.390
Because you won't be faithful with the small thing.
00:04:34.390 --> 00:04:36.693
(audience clapping)
00:04:36.693 --> 00:04:39.595
And god will make you be faithful
00:04:39.595 --> 00:04:41.331
With that which pertains to another man
00:04:41.331 --> 00:04:43.533
Before he gives you your own.
00:04:43.533 --> 00:04:45.401
And you think it's small when you get that rental car,
00:04:46.502 --> 00:04:48.538
But god takes notes,
00:04:48.538 --> 00:04:52.175
'cause it's not yours.
00:04:52.675 --> 00:04:54.210
So he wants to know how you will steward it.
00:04:54.210 --> 00:04:56.979
See, your life is not yours,
00:04:56.979 --> 00:04:58.881
Your talent's not yours,
00:04:58.881 --> 00:05:00.450
Your gift's not yours.
00:05:00.450 --> 00:05:01.551
Why do you think we try to get you
00:05:01.551 --> 00:05:02.485
To volunteer and serve?
00:05:02.485 --> 00:05:04.821
Because until you serve god with your gifts,
00:05:04.821 --> 00:05:06.856
You're treating 'em like you own 'em.
00:05:06.856 --> 00:05:09.292
(audience clapping)
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.494
Your gifts are not yours,
00:05:11.494 --> 00:05:12.795
God gave them to you,
00:05:12.795 --> 00:05:14.263
And he gave them to you to be managed a certain way.
00:05:14.263 --> 00:05:17.367
If you have a talent,
00:05:17.367 --> 00:05:18.534
It is to be managed a certain way.
00:05:18.534 --> 00:05:20.536
If you can't do nothing
00:05:20.536 --> 00:05:21.604
But make people feel hospitable,
00:05:21.604 --> 00:05:23.406
God gave you that to manage it a certain way
00:05:23.406 --> 00:05:25.508
And serve the kingdom with it.
00:05:25.508 --> 00:05:27.043
If you put a smile on people's face,
00:05:27.043 --> 00:05:29.212
God gave you that to manage it.
00:05:29.212 --> 00:05:31.247
It's not yours, it's for the kingdom.
00:05:32.014 --> 00:05:33.750
My gift is not mine.
00:05:33.750 --> 00:05:35.918
The moment i make it mine,
00:05:35.918 --> 00:05:38.154
Then i need to quit.
00:05:38.154 --> 00:05:39.956
When i take my gift
00:05:40.423 --> 00:05:41.624
And make it serve me instead of you,
00:05:41.624 --> 00:05:44.694
Then i am out of protocol
00:05:44.694 --> 00:05:46.062
And i would be in danger of god taking it.
00:05:46.062 --> 00:05:49.932
Have you heard of the one he gave five,
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:52.668
The one he gave two, the one he gave one?
00:05:52.668 --> 00:05:54.303
The one he gave one didn't use it,
00:05:54.303 --> 00:05:55.571
So god took it.
00:05:55.571 --> 00:05:59.275
And while we complain about what god didn't give us,
00:06:00.343 --> 00:06:02.812
We don't use what we do have.
00:06:02.812 --> 00:06:05.381
(audience cheering and clapping)
00:06:05.381 --> 00:06:08.818
This is a rough kingdom principle,
00:06:08.818 --> 00:06:10.586
But it's got to be preached.
00:06:10.586 --> 00:06:13.923
The word is not a religious book
00:06:14.557 --> 00:06:17.293
That you keep to earn god's favor.
00:06:17.293 --> 00:06:20.997
The bible is a list of laws
00:06:21.597 --> 00:06:24.267
That govern heaven.
00:06:24.267 --> 00:06:26.402
If you abide by those laws,
00:06:27.003 --> 00:06:29.038
You connect yourself to heaven
00:06:29.038 --> 00:06:30.606
And its resources.
00:06:30.606 --> 00:06:32.642
If you ignore those laws,
00:06:33.209 --> 00:06:35.812
You are confined to what you're only able to do
00:06:35.812 --> 00:06:39.048
In the earth.
00:06:39.048 --> 00:06:40.249
There are some people that are not in church,
00:06:41.184 --> 00:06:43.219
But they follow god's laws
00:06:43.219 --> 00:06:44.720
More closely than church people,
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.991
Because a law does not care
00:06:49.592 --> 00:06:51.861
Whether or not you're a christian.
00:06:51.861 --> 00:06:54.330
It just cares whether or not you obey it.
00:06:55.231 --> 00:06:58.100
I have blown y'all's...
00:06:58.601 --> 00:07:00.703
Jesus said, "they are keys of the kingdom."
00:07:01.637 --> 00:07:05.675
I need a key to unlock that door right there.
00:07:06.609 --> 00:07:09.879
As long as i got a key,
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:11.147
That door don't care if i'm a christian.
00:07:11.147 --> 00:07:14.383
It just cares if i have a key.
00:07:14.383 --> 00:07:17.119
And if i have a key, it will unlock.
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.957
And they are the keys,
00:07:21.457 --> 00:07:22.558
They are the laws of the kingdom,
00:07:22.558 --> 00:07:23.826
When you talk about a kingdom,
00:07:23.826 --> 00:07:25.127
You talk about a king extending his rule.
00:07:25.127 --> 00:07:27.730
When god sent jesus,
00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:28.898
He wanted to take kingdom's rule,
00:07:28.898 --> 00:07:31.067
Heaven's rule and extend it into the earth.
00:07:31.067 --> 00:07:33.336
So jesus came talking about how heaven works.
00:07:33.336 --> 00:07:37.139
So it's not a bible to be good enough.
00:07:37.974 --> 00:07:41.511
It's a bible that tells you how heaven works.
00:07:42.445 --> 00:07:45.848
And when you learn how heaven works,
00:07:45.848 --> 00:07:47.750
Heaven is accessible to you.
00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:50.553
That's what this kingdom is.
00:07:51.153 --> 00:07:53.155
Are you beginning to understand that?
00:07:53.155 --> 00:07:55.258
I wanna make sure i'm laying these kingdom principles out,
00:07:55.258 --> 00:07:58.261
And even some of the foundational ones.
00:07:58.261 --> 00:07:59.962
Now, here's some of the things i wanna tell you,
00:07:59.962 --> 00:08:02.632
As i read today in luke chapter 9.
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.568
Put revelation 1, 5 and 6 up there if you would real quick.
00:08:05.568 --> 00:08:08.804
Revelation is not just about the end times,
00:08:08.804 --> 00:08:10.973
It says a whole lot more.
00:08:10.973 --> 00:08:12.408
"and from jesus christ,
00:08:12.408 --> 00:08:13.976
The faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead,
00:08:13.976 --> 00:08:16.312
The ruler over the kings of the earth,
00:08:16.312 --> 00:08:18.548
To him who loved us and washed us from our sins
00:08:18.548 --> 00:08:20.750
In his own blood,"
00:08:20.750 --> 00:08:21.584
Talking about jesus,
00:08:21.584 --> 00:08:23.052
"and has made us,"
00:08:23.052 --> 00:08:24.687
Okay, he washed us in his blood,
00:08:24.687 --> 00:08:26.956
"and has made us kings and priests to our god and father,
00:08:26.956 --> 00:08:32.295
To him be glory and dominion forever and ever."
00:08:33.296 --> 00:08:36.599
Jesus came to make us into something
00:08:36.599 --> 00:08:40.703
That would bring him dominion in the earth.
00:08:40.703 --> 00:08:44.974
So jesus came not to buy me fire insurance,
00:08:45.875 --> 00:08:49.445
So i can make sure i don't go to that hell
00:08:50.346 --> 00:08:51.914
That that preacher talked about when i was little
00:08:51.914 --> 00:08:53.416
And scared me to death with,
00:08:53.416 --> 00:08:55.451
And just get to heaven.
00:08:55.451 --> 00:08:56.419
He came to make me something.
00:08:56.419 --> 00:08:59.455
And when i become that,
00:08:59.455 --> 00:09:01.357
I become an extension of his rule in the earth.
00:09:01.357 --> 00:09:05.962
We are a kingdom of king and priests.
00:09:05.962 --> 00:09:08.731
So inside the kingdom, there are two basic functions.
00:09:08.731 --> 00:09:13.169
There is king
00:09:13.169 --> 00:09:14.704
And there is a priestly function.
00:09:15.438 --> 00:09:16.839
Lemme go kingly
00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:18.140
And let's go priestly function right here.
00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:20.142
So there's a kingdom of kings
00:09:20.142 --> 00:09:22.311
And there's a kingdom of priests.
00:09:22.311 --> 00:09:24.780
I want you to understand something.
00:09:24.780 --> 00:09:26.215
John the baptist was jesus' cousin.
00:09:26.215 --> 00:09:29.285
That's why john the baptist and jesus were so close, okay?
00:09:29.285 --> 00:09:34.790
John the baptist's mother was elizabeth
00:09:35.625 --> 00:09:39.161
And father was zechariah,
00:09:39.161 --> 00:09:41.197
Who was a priest.
00:09:41.197 --> 00:09:43.733
So john the baptist was raised
00:09:43.733 --> 00:09:45.635
In the home of a preacher.
00:09:45.635 --> 00:09:49.839
Jesus, his father was joseph
00:09:50.439 --> 00:09:53.476
And was a businessman.
00:09:53.476 --> 00:09:55.277
We've got this thing backwards.
00:09:55.911 --> 00:09:58.214
"i wish we could have a great preacher
00:09:59.048 --> 00:10:01.417
Come into our area
00:10:01.417 --> 00:10:02.551
And start a revival."
00:10:02.551 --> 00:10:05.888
Priestly ministries can't start revivals.
00:10:06.789 --> 00:10:09.925
All they can do is announce that god wants to do one.
00:10:09.925 --> 00:10:13.396
(audience clapping)
00:10:13.396 --> 00:10:15.031
What did john the baptist do?
00:10:15.031 --> 00:10:17.433
Announce, announce, announce.
00:10:17.433 --> 00:10:20.036
"it's coming, he's coming.
00:10:20.036 --> 00:10:22.004
He's on his way.
00:10:22.004 --> 00:10:23.339
Repent, repent, he's coming.
00:10:23.339 --> 00:10:26.108
Is somebody coming?
00:10:26.108 --> 00:10:27.209
I'm not worthy to untie his shoes.
00:10:27.209 --> 00:10:29.045
I'm not the one.
00:10:29.045 --> 00:10:30.112
I'm not the life.
00:10:30.112 --> 00:10:31.247
He's greater than i am.
00:10:31.247 --> 00:10:32.515
He's coming, repent, be baptized, he's coming."
00:10:32.515 --> 00:10:35.384
And then jesus steps up
00:10:35.384 --> 00:10:36.852
And he said, "behold,
00:10:36.852 --> 00:10:38.254
The lamb that takes away the sin of the world."
00:10:38.254 --> 00:10:40.690
John the baptist announces that the revival's coming.
00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:44.860
Jesus brings the revival.
00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:46.696
(audience cheering and clapping)
00:10:46.696 --> 00:10:47.830
The fact is, can i keep preaching?
00:10:47.830 --> 00:10:49.632
(audience cheering)
00:10:49.632 --> 00:10:50.933
3% of all christians get paid by the church.
00:10:50.933 --> 00:10:54.236
97% get paid in the business world.
00:10:54.236 --> 00:10:58.941
But yet we put all of our emphasis
00:10:59.709 --> 00:11:01.911
On training these guys.
00:11:01.911 --> 00:11:05.981
And we're trying to change the world
00:11:06.782 --> 00:11:09.085
By building seminaries,
00:11:09.085 --> 00:11:10.586
Building bible schools,
00:11:10.586 --> 00:11:12.121
Building online courses,
00:11:12.121 --> 00:11:13.522
Building everything,
00:11:13.522 --> 00:11:14.890
Trying to train the three.
00:11:14.890 --> 00:11:16.926
I can't change greenville.
00:11:16.926 --> 00:11:19.395
All i can do is get a microphone
00:11:20.029 --> 00:11:21.764
And say god wants to change it.
00:11:21.764 --> 00:11:23.399
(audience cheering and clapping)
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:24.667
I can't change any city we have a campus.
00:11:24.667 --> 00:11:27.136
I can't change the world through tv.
00:11:27.136 --> 00:11:29.672
All i can do is get up
00:11:30.172 --> 00:11:31.674
And tell the people in the kingly ministry
00:11:31.674 --> 00:11:34.810
That god wants to do something.
00:11:34.810 --> 00:11:37.246
You've got to understand
00:11:37.246 --> 00:11:39.448
That if you do not work in church,
00:11:39.448 --> 00:11:41.584
You're not a part of the priestly ministry,
00:11:41.584 --> 00:11:43.853
You're a part of the kingly ministry.
00:11:43.853 --> 00:11:46.021
And while you think it would be important to get a mic
00:11:46.021 --> 00:11:49.291
Or to be on this staff,
00:11:49.291 --> 00:11:50.960
All i can do is announce what god is saying,
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.863
All i can do is announce what god wants to do,
00:11:53.863 --> 00:11:56.665
All i can do is announce prophetic things,
00:11:56.665 --> 00:11:59.268
But i can't go out and bring it.
00:11:59.268 --> 00:12:01.203
God has sent you to first shift,
00:12:01.203 --> 00:12:03.372
Second shift, third shift,
00:12:03.372 --> 00:12:05.407
School teaching, daycare, insurance,
00:12:05.407 --> 00:12:08.277
Real estate, work in the penal system, judicial system,
00:12:08.277 --> 00:12:12.515
Michelin and bmw.
00:12:12.515 --> 00:12:14.283
And, oh, god sent you out there, why?
00:12:14.283 --> 00:12:16.952
So he can put you behind enemy lines
00:12:16.952 --> 00:12:19.855
And let your light so shine before men
00:12:19.855 --> 00:12:23.692
So they can see your good works
00:12:23.692 --> 00:12:26.162
And glorify god.
00:12:26.162 --> 00:12:28.130
We gotta get this thing right.
00:12:28.130 --> 00:12:30.266
All i can do is tell you,
00:12:30.266 --> 00:12:32.201
But if we ever gonna bring it,
00:12:32.201 --> 00:12:33.969
It's gonna be you and you and you and you and you.
00:12:33.969 --> 00:12:38.307
Look at four people and say, "i'm gonna bring it."
00:12:38.307 --> 00:12:41.911
Loook at 'em, "i'm gonna bring it."
00:12:41.911 --> 00:12:44.747
Somebody shout, "hallelujah."
00:12:44.747 --> 00:12:46.849
- [audience] hallelujah.
00:12:46.849 --> 00:12:48.918
(audience cheering and clapping)
00:12:48.918 --> 00:12:52.354
(upbeat music)
00:12:52.354 --> 00:13:22.451
He says, "you can bless yourself
00:13:23.085 --> 00:13:25.020
Or you can curse yourself.
00:13:25.020 --> 00:13:26.722
It's your choice."
00:13:26.722 --> 00:13:28.958
How you gonna respond to a problem?
00:13:28.958 --> 00:13:31.293
Judas went and committed suicide,
00:13:31.293 --> 00:13:33.796
Peter repented.
00:13:33.796 --> 00:13:35.130
What are you gonna do?
00:13:35.130 --> 00:13:36.665

00:14:27.383 --> 00:14:32.655
(audience member laughing)
00:14:33.222 --> 00:14:36.025
Makes 'em sit down in groups of 50.
00:14:36.025 --> 00:14:37.826
Jesus didn't feed 5,000, he fed 50.
00:14:37.826 --> 00:14:42.298
Administration, organization.
00:14:42.932 --> 00:14:44.867
(audience laughing and clapping)
00:14:44.867 --> 00:14:48.003
He took the five loaves and his two fish.
00:14:48.003 --> 00:14:49.705
Those are his resources.
00:14:49.705 --> 00:14:52.608
Those are the resources of the company.
00:14:53.409 --> 00:14:55.644
Now he's getting 'em administrated and organized.
00:14:55.644 --> 00:14:58.414
Y'all ain't saying nothing.
00:14:58.414 --> 00:14:59.448
(audience faintly speaking)
00:14:59.448 --> 00:15:01.383
He looked up, broke it, and gave thanks,
00:15:01.383 --> 00:15:03.118
Appreciation for the resources he has
00:15:03.118 --> 00:15:05.421
Instead of complaining about what he doesn't.
00:15:05.421 --> 00:15:06.956
(audience cheering and clapping)
00:15:06.956 --> 00:15:08.490
I thank you that i got five loaves and two fish,
00:15:08.490 --> 00:15:10.726
And i'm not sitting here with empty hands.
00:15:10.726 --> 00:15:12.628
(upbeat music)
00:15:12.628 --> 00:15:20.269
He gave to the disciples,
00:15:20.836 --> 00:15:23.105
In fact, jesus didn't feed anybody.
00:15:23.105 --> 00:15:27.042
He gave it to the 12,
00:15:27.543 --> 00:15:29.178
And the 12 distributed it, delegation.
00:15:29.178 --> 00:15:32.614
(audience clapping)
00:15:32.614 --> 00:15:33.916
Administration, organization, resources,
00:15:33.916 --> 00:15:37.086
Appreciation, delegation.
00:15:37.086 --> 00:15:40.489
They all ate and were satisfied.
00:15:41.123 --> 00:15:43.926
Customer service.
00:15:43.926 --> 00:15:45.127
(audience laughing and clapping)
00:15:45.127 --> 00:15:48.464
And then take up every morsel that is left,
00:15:48.464 --> 00:15:51.934
Absolutely no waste.
00:15:51.934 --> 00:15:56.805
How many of you are sitting here and the calendar turns
00:15:57.940 --> 00:16:00.943
And you're wasting your stuff?
00:16:00.943 --> 00:16:07.383
There's two more gray hairs up there
00:16:08.183 --> 00:16:09.918
And you're just wasting your stuff.
00:16:09.918 --> 00:16:14.223
He said, "not only is everybody gonna be satisfied,
00:16:15.290 --> 00:16:17.693
You pick up every piece."
00:16:17.693 --> 00:16:20.996
And i can't stand waste.
00:16:21.497 --> 00:16:26.902
You can ask those who work with me,
00:16:27.703 --> 00:16:29.004
If it's tuesday afternoon
00:16:29.004 --> 00:16:30.706
And it's four o'clock
00:16:30.706 --> 00:16:32.508
And i walk through these hallways
00:16:32.508 --> 00:16:33.909
And one of these air conditioners is on 68,
00:16:33.909 --> 00:16:36.545
Somebody gonna get a stomping.
00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:38.747
(audience laughing)
00:16:38.747 --> 00:16:39.982
I can't stand it.
00:16:39.982 --> 00:16:42.251
I will stop right there,
00:16:42.751 --> 00:16:44.987
"this unit over here, unit seven,
00:16:45.721 --> 00:16:47.022
Over in the hallway on the south end, it's 68.
00:16:47.022 --> 00:16:49.224
It's freezing in here and it's tuesday, why is it on?
00:16:49.224 --> 00:16:53.495
I have a routine at night at my house.
00:16:54.329 --> 00:16:58.534
(audience laughing)
00:16:59.001 --> 00:17:01.637
You better have x-ray vision in my house,
00:17:01.637 --> 00:17:03.505
I don't leave no lights on.
00:17:03.505 --> 00:17:04.907
(audience laughing)
00:17:04.907 --> 00:17:08.210
I go around and fix thermostats,
00:17:08.844 --> 00:17:10.412
And i go around and cut off lights.
00:17:10.412 --> 00:17:12.981
Every night of my life, i got a routine,
00:17:12.981 --> 00:17:14.883
I don't care if it's 11:30
00:17:14.883 --> 00:17:15.984
Or quarter to four in the morning,
00:17:15.984 --> 00:17:17.419
I cannot stand waste.
00:17:17.419 --> 00:17:20.656
Can't stand waste.
00:17:21.090 --> 00:17:22.591
You gotta understand this principle,
00:17:23.392 --> 00:17:24.893
'cause, folks, god take notes.
00:17:24.893 --> 00:17:28.797
God takes notes.
00:17:29.164 --> 00:17:32.434
I always tell people, i almost hated,
00:17:33.235 --> 00:17:35.104
At 212 and other conferences,
00:17:35.104 --> 00:17:36.905
And people come in and say all this stuff.
00:17:36.905 --> 00:17:40.476
You're at a really disadvantage
00:17:40.476 --> 00:17:41.877
When you see somebody's results
00:17:41.877 --> 00:17:43.579
And you didn't see their journey.
00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:46.515
When you walk in a building
00:17:47.116 --> 00:17:48.150
And you see my harvest
00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:49.084
And you didn't see my seed,
00:17:49.084 --> 00:17:50.886
You are at a huge disadvantage.
00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:54.256
Huge.
00:17:54.490 --> 00:17:56.058
Because while we had our first building
00:17:56.892 --> 00:17:59.394
That we rented with no heat,
00:17:59.995 --> 00:18:02.664
No carpet, no air condition,
00:18:02.664 --> 00:18:04.666
And shower curtains hanging over loading dock walls,
00:18:05.734 --> 00:18:08.370
And hope played a keyboard that was given to us
00:18:08.370 --> 00:18:11.607
That sounded like something
00:18:11.607 --> 00:18:12.875
A child would play with at christmas on a casio.
00:18:12.875 --> 00:18:15.144
(audience laughing)
00:18:15.144 --> 00:18:17.212
I played the drums,
00:18:17.212 --> 00:18:18.780
And got off the drums and gave an alter call and preached.
00:18:18.780 --> 00:18:21.350
And the drums were given to us.
00:18:21.350 --> 00:18:23.752
I built a two-by-12 stage myself with plywood, okay?
00:18:24.786 --> 00:18:29.525
And i laid the carpet,
00:18:30.025 --> 00:18:31.260
And we had never had carpet in our life
00:18:31.260 --> 00:18:32.461
When we finally got some.
00:18:32.461 --> 00:18:33.629
And our first fundraiser in the church
00:18:33.629 --> 00:18:35.097
Was for an air conditioner.
00:18:35.097 --> 00:18:37.900
God knew this was in me,
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.269
But he couldn't rain on it,
00:18:40.269 --> 00:18:43.071
'cause he had to watch me with that,
00:18:43.872 --> 00:18:45.507
And, "is he vacuuming it?
00:18:45.507 --> 00:18:50.512
Is hope taking the toys home from the nursery
00:18:51.446 --> 00:18:53.448
And washing them in the bathtub?
00:18:53.448 --> 00:18:55.384
Is he painting the walls?
00:18:55.951 --> 00:18:57.619
Is he changing the light bulbs when they go out?
00:18:57.619 --> 00:19:00.556
Okay, i'm gonna bring him one tither.
00:19:00.556 --> 00:19:03.859
What's he going to do with it?
00:19:04.493 --> 00:19:05.794
Oh, okay, i'll bring him 10.
00:19:05.794 --> 00:19:07.963
Okay, i wonder how he's doing with him 50 members?
00:19:07.963 --> 00:19:10.299
Okay, now i'll give him 100."
00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:12.501
(audience clapping) god takes notes.
00:19:12.501 --> 00:19:14.269
So you don't understand, god takes notes,
00:19:14.269 --> 00:19:15.804
God takes great notes.
00:19:15.804 --> 00:19:18.907
We had a person come tell us,
00:19:19.541 --> 00:19:20.676
We lived in an apartment for five years,
00:19:20.676 --> 00:19:22.077
Tiny, little, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny apartment.
00:19:22.077 --> 00:19:24.746
I mean, one of the apartments you meet in the hallway,
00:19:24.746 --> 00:19:25.981
You walk sideways,
00:19:25.981 --> 00:19:27.249
And then turn back. (audience laughing)
00:19:27.249 --> 00:19:31.286
A guy came to us and said,
00:19:31.286 --> 00:19:32.621
"i believe the lord told me
00:19:32.621 --> 00:19:34.289
To let you live in my dad's house.
00:19:34.289 --> 00:19:35.857
My dad just passed away."
00:19:35.857 --> 00:19:37.426
And he said, "i'll let you live in it for $250 a month."
00:19:37.426 --> 00:19:39.461
When i heard the price,
00:19:39.461 --> 00:19:40.429
I should've become curious.
00:19:40.429 --> 00:19:41.797
(audience laughing)
00:19:41.797 --> 00:19:45.200
When i saw it. (laughing)
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.468
(audience laughing)
00:19:46.468 --> 00:19:51.773
Number one, you couldn't see the house
00:19:52.608 --> 00:19:55.210
For the grass and the shrubs,
00:19:55.210 --> 00:19:58.380
The whole front of the house was covered.
00:19:58.380 --> 00:19:59.715
I'm like, "where's the house?
00:19:59.715 --> 00:20:00.649
I see a bunch of bushes."
00:20:00.649 --> 00:20:02.117
There was a house behind the bushes
00:20:02.117 --> 00:20:03.986
That hadn't been cut since world war ii.
00:20:03.986 --> 00:20:05.754
(audience laughing)
00:20:05.754 --> 00:20:08.557
The man built the house in world war ii,
00:20:08.557 --> 00:20:10.125
Listen, and had never changed the carpet.
00:20:10.125 --> 00:20:12.227
(audience groaning)
00:20:12.227 --> 00:20:13.695
The carpet was 50 years old.
00:20:13.695 --> 00:20:17.766
So we went inside and started cutting the bushes down.
00:20:18.867 --> 00:20:20.569
I don't even own this house.
00:20:20.569 --> 00:20:21.770
This house ain't mine.
00:20:21.770 --> 00:20:23.438
It pertains to another man.
00:20:23.438 --> 00:20:25.374
Had somebody in my church
00:20:25.941 --> 00:20:27.209
Just closed down a carpet laying business
00:20:27.209 --> 00:20:28.777
And had remnants in the garage,
00:20:28.777 --> 00:20:30.045
Said, "you can have the remnants, i don't care."
00:20:30.045 --> 00:20:31.980
So i went, and you know how joseph
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:33.382
Had the coat of many colors?
00:20:33.382 --> 00:20:34.416
We had the house of many colors.
00:20:34.416 --> 00:20:35.484
(audience laughing and clapping)
00:20:35.484 --> 00:20:40.055
I had a different color of carpet
00:20:40.055 --> 00:20:41.189
In every single room,
00:20:41.189 --> 00:20:42.057
But it was new.
00:20:42.057 --> 00:20:43.292
(audience laughing and clapping)
00:20:43.292 --> 00:20:51.800
It was new.
00:20:52.134 --> 00:20:53.468
And we didn't have no car.
00:20:54.036 --> 00:20:56.838
And there's a man who still attends of days,
00:20:57.773 --> 00:20:59.241
He's one of my first members,
00:20:59.241 --> 00:21:00.776
He just opened up an auto mechanics business,
00:21:00.776 --> 00:21:02.744
He just opened it up.
00:21:02.744 --> 00:21:04.813
And he said, this was in 1992,
00:21:05.447 --> 00:21:10.185
And he came and told me he had a 25-year-old car.
00:21:11.186 --> 00:21:14.623
(audience laughing) he said, "you can drive."
00:21:14.623 --> 00:21:16.258
He brought it to me
00:21:16.258 --> 00:21:17.526
And it had 1/4 of a million miles on it.
00:21:17.526 --> 00:21:19.227
(audience laughing)
00:21:19.227 --> 00:21:20.662
And no hub camps.
00:21:20.662 --> 00:21:21.663
(audience laughing)
00:21:21.663 --> 00:21:24.766
And the night he dropped it off
00:21:24.766 --> 00:21:26.268
And said, "you can drive this
00:21:26.268 --> 00:21:27.436
Until you can afford your own car."
00:21:27.436 --> 00:21:29.671
I remember hope coming out the back door
00:21:30.505 --> 00:21:32.407
And was so aggravated
00:21:32.407 --> 00:21:34.109
'cause i was late coming in for supper
00:21:34.109 --> 00:21:36.211
Because i was outside washing it.
00:21:36.211 --> 00:21:43.452
(audience clapping)
00:21:43.919 --> 00:21:47.889
And none of it's mine.
00:21:48.390 --> 00:21:51.793
But i'm leaving my print
00:21:52.294 --> 00:21:56.131
On every stage of life
00:21:56.631 --> 00:21:58.867
God takes me through.
00:21:58.867 --> 00:22:00.569
I'm not gonna leave it
00:22:00.569 --> 00:22:01.970
And not leave ron carpenter's mark on it somewhere.
00:22:01.970 --> 00:22:04.740
If it's carpet, i'm gonna vacuum it.
00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:06.942
If it's a wall, i'm gonna paint it.
00:22:06.942 --> 00:22:08.944
If it's a car, i'm gonna wash it.
00:22:08.944 --> 00:22:11.113
Don't matter if it's mine or whoever's letting me,
00:22:11.113 --> 00:22:13.181
See, we ain't getting no standing up.
00:22:13.181 --> 00:22:15.050
And i want you to notice,
00:22:15.050 --> 00:22:16.418
Most of the people that are standing up are older.
00:22:16.418 --> 00:22:19.054
Have you noticed that?
00:22:19.554 --> 00:22:20.789
Most of the people standing up are my age,
00:22:20.789 --> 00:22:22.691
Because we got a whole nother generation
00:22:22.691 --> 00:22:24.493
That needs to learn.
00:22:24.493 --> 00:22:25.727
You need to have worked
00:22:25.727 --> 00:22:27.028
What you got on the level that you got it
00:22:27.028 --> 00:22:29.197
And then god will move you to the next.
00:22:29.197 --> 00:22:31.533
Ah, god has got seeds of greatness in people
00:22:31.533 --> 00:22:35.537
And i'm ready for him to reign,
00:22:35.537 --> 00:22:37.606
But you've got to serve god
00:22:37.606 --> 00:22:40.242
And do what your hands have been given to do
00:22:40.242 --> 00:22:42.244
With all your might.
00:22:42.244 --> 00:22:43.645
(bright music)
00:22:43.645 --> 00:22:46.948
(upbeat music)
00:22:47.315 --> 00:23:17.546
You know what? that's all the time we've got.
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.348
But i love the word of god.
00:23:20.348 --> 00:23:22.083
So many kingdom principles
00:23:22.083 --> 00:23:23.585
Tucked away in the life of ruth.
00:23:23.585 --> 00:23:26.521
And we've been walking through it
00:23:26.521 --> 00:23:27.789
For a very long time.
00:23:27.789 --> 00:23:28.757
I hope you've not gotten bored.
00:23:28.757 --> 00:23:30.058
But i hope if anything you've been drawn in
00:23:30.058 --> 00:23:32.394
To want a deeper walk with god.
00:23:32.394 --> 00:23:34.196
I'm really hoping and believing,
00:23:34.196 --> 00:23:35.564
Praying, whether you believe it or not,
00:23:35.564 --> 00:23:37.265
Yep, i pray, believe everyone connected to me in any way
00:23:37.265 --> 00:23:41.503
That god's blessings would overrun in your life.
00:23:41.503 --> 00:23:44.072
And this is the part where i do two things,
00:23:44.072 --> 00:23:46.408
Where i thank those who've so graciously
00:23:46.408 --> 00:23:48.743
Been a part of our ministry,
00:23:48.743 --> 00:23:50.145
And then encourage those who maybe haven't to come in
00:23:50.145 --> 00:23:52.948
And be a part of this giant redemption family.
00:23:52.948 --> 00:23:55.484
You know what?
00:23:55.484 --> 00:23:56.418
I just believe
00:23:56.418 --> 00:23:58.253
That whenever something goes out of your life for god,
00:23:58.253 --> 00:24:02.491
It does not leave your life,
00:24:02.491 --> 00:24:04.226
But it goes into ground and it comes back.
00:24:04.226 --> 00:24:06.394
And so many people have a difficult time giving
00:24:06.394 --> 00:24:08.964
Because when they give,
00:24:08.964 --> 00:24:10.499
They see the thing leaving their hand as leaving their life.
00:24:10.499 --> 00:24:13.768
And that may happen at the gas station,
00:24:13.768 --> 00:24:16.004
That may happen at the grocery store,
00:24:16.004 --> 00:24:17.839
That may happen when you buy a new pair of shoes,
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.841
But when you're in the kingdom,
00:24:19.841 --> 00:24:21.510
What goes out from you doesn't leave you,
00:24:21.510 --> 00:24:23.712
It just goes to a place
00:24:23.712 --> 00:24:24.980
And then returns back to you larger than it left.
00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:28.583
I'm talking about sewing.
00:24:28.583 --> 00:24:29.618
I'm talking about giving.
00:24:29.618 --> 00:24:30.952
We are in the business of taking this message
00:24:30.952 --> 00:24:33.588
Of jesus christ,
00:24:33.588 --> 00:24:35.156
Hopefully translating it into as many languages as we can
00:24:35.156 --> 00:24:38.527
During my lifetime
00:24:38.527 --> 00:24:39.928
And taking it all over the world.
00:24:39.928 --> 00:24:41.930
We are already,
00:24:41.930 --> 00:24:43.231
You have helped us go all over the world.
00:24:43.231 --> 00:24:46.268
Now we wanna stay all over the world,
00:24:46.268 --> 00:24:48.336
We want to increase our presence all over the world,
00:24:48.336 --> 00:24:51.239
Increase the kingdom message,
00:24:51.239 --> 00:24:53.008
And now translate it
00:24:53.008 --> 00:24:54.309
Into people's known tongue.
00:24:54.309 --> 00:24:56.244
We have a great challenge before us.
00:24:56.244 --> 00:24:58.813
And i'm just telling you,
00:24:58.813 --> 00:25:00.181
I thank those of you who've been a short-time,
00:25:00.181 --> 00:25:02.817
A long-time partner,
00:25:02.817 --> 00:25:04.219
Or maybe you've just given a gift here or there
00:25:04.219 --> 00:25:06.087
When we've needed it,
00:25:06.087 --> 00:25:07.155
And god's spoken to your heart.
00:25:07.155 --> 00:25:08.924
I'm grateful for the fact you love jesus,
00:25:08.924 --> 00:25:11.393
And i'm grateful for the fact that you believe in us.
00:25:11.393 --> 00:25:14.329
But anyone out there who are like, "you know what?
00:25:14.329 --> 00:25:16.831
I've been watching this program,
00:25:16.831 --> 00:25:18.166
I've been receiving,
00:25:18.166 --> 00:25:19.701
I wanna give back, i wanna help out,
00:25:19.701 --> 00:25:22.304
I believe in what they're saying,
00:25:22.304 --> 00:25:23.572
I believe in what they're doing,"
00:25:23.572 --> 00:25:24.639
We could use your help.
00:25:24.639 --> 00:25:26.107
And i wanna let you know, for your first-time gift,
00:25:26.107 --> 00:25:29.644
Whether you want it to be a one-time gift
00:25:29.644 --> 00:25:31.279
Or whether you wanna be a monthly contributor,
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.615
For your first-time gift of any amount,
00:25:33.615 --> 00:25:35.483
We have this very special offer just for you,
00:25:35.483 --> 00:25:39.688
To say thank you to you.
00:25:39.688 --> 00:25:41.156
We wanna be a giver back,
00:25:41.156 --> 00:25:42.457
We wanna let you know how appreciative we are
00:25:42.457 --> 00:25:44.859
That you've made this investment in the kingdom
00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:46.695
And you chose to do it here.
00:25:46.695 --> 00:25:48.330
My prayers for you is that god would establish you
00:25:48.330 --> 00:25:50.665
And bless you,
00:25:50.665 --> 00:25:52.067
And that god would repay you many times over
00:25:52.067 --> 00:25:54.269
That which you have given,
00:25:54.269 --> 00:25:55.737
That god would reward you 30, 60 and 100 fold
00:25:55.737 --> 00:25:58.473
For every seed that you sow,
00:25:58.473 --> 00:26:00.342
And that the blessings of god
00:26:00.342 --> 00:26:01.543
Would surround you and overtake you.
00:26:01.543 --> 00:26:03.445
We want to see everyone connected to us
00:26:03.445 --> 00:26:06.548
Lead the blessed life.
00:26:06.548 --> 00:26:08.083
And we believe the keys of the kingdom can unlock doors,
00:26:08.083 --> 00:26:11.052
Where heaven invades your home.
00:26:11.052 --> 00:26:13.121
So i want you to connect with me if you would
00:26:13.121 --> 00:26:14.689
On a greater level too.
00:26:14.689 --> 00:26:16.124
Go to facebook, go to twitter,
00:26:16.124 --> 00:26:17.626
Go to instagram.
00:26:17.626 --> 00:26:18.526
I'm talking all the time,
00:26:18.526 --> 00:26:19.995
Giving nuggets all the time,
00:26:19.995 --> 00:26:21.329
Pulling sermon clips all the time.
00:26:21.329 --> 00:26:23.231
Every once in a while,
