Ron Carpenter | Ron Carpenter - Encounter (Part 6) | April 8, 2026

(video static)
00:00:00.567 --> 00:00:02.318
(upbeat music)
00:00:02.685 --> 00:00:15.965
- you know one time in my life in the late 90s,
00:00:16.900 --> 00:00:19.803
Yes, i know i'm dating myself a little bit,
00:00:19.803 --> 00:00:22.238
But i entered a place in life
00:00:22.238 --> 00:00:23.406
And a ministry where i felt stuck.
00:00:23.406 --> 00:00:26.242
Have you ever felt stuck? hi, i'm ron carpenter.
00:00:26.242 --> 00:00:28.511
I wanna wanna welcome you to ron carpenter television.
00:00:28.511 --> 00:00:30.680
I think everybody's been there.
00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:32.148
If you haven't been there,
00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:33.450
It's just because hadn't lived long enough yet.
00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:35.251
But i got to a place where it felt like i was hitting a wall
00:00:35.251 --> 00:00:37.854
And didn't know why.
00:00:37.854 --> 00:00:38.988
Why was there no forward progression?
00:00:38.988 --> 00:00:40.924
Why was there no movement?
00:00:40.924 --> 00:00:42.358
And what made it worse is i had had a succession
00:00:42.358 --> 00:00:45.628
Of several victories that had happened fairly rapidly,
00:00:45.628 --> 00:00:48.765
Just all of a sudden seemed like my life came to a halt.
00:00:48.765 --> 00:00:52.135
Then there were, for the first time ever,
00:00:52.135 --> 00:00:54.270
Great people that came into my life
00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:56.906
That begin to show me things i didn't know,
00:00:56.906 --> 00:00:58.942
Begin to tell me things i didn't know.
00:00:58.942 --> 00:01:00.477
And i remember one wonderful gentleman said this to me.
00:01:00.477 --> 00:01:03.079
He said, ron, you cannot live life
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.682
Above the revelation that you have.
00:01:05.682 --> 00:01:08.017
In other words, today will always be tomorrow
00:01:08.017 --> 00:01:11.521
Unless i learn something new.
00:01:11.521 --> 00:01:13.389
I'll just continue to live in now
00:01:13.389 --> 00:01:15.325
Because i've got to expand what i know
00:01:15.325 --> 00:01:17.660
For my life to move forward.
00:01:17.660 --> 00:01:19.529
The same thing happened with ruth.
00:01:19.529 --> 00:01:21.564
God allowed her to come under some information
00:01:21.564 --> 00:01:25.401
That radically changed her life
00:01:25.401 --> 00:01:27.036
And allowed her to meet her boaz.
00:01:27.036 --> 00:01:29.405
Boaz was not just getting married
00:01:29.405 --> 00:01:31.074
And finding a good husband,
00:01:31.074 --> 00:01:32.709
But it was the restoration of everything she had lost
00:01:32.709 --> 00:01:35.512
And the inheritance god had for her,
00:01:35.512 --> 00:01:38.047
The entirety of her life
00:01:38.047 --> 00:01:39.249
Before the foundations of the world.
00:01:39.249 --> 00:01:40.717
She came into all of it,
00:01:40.717 --> 00:01:42.352
But not until she was exposed to the right information.
00:01:42.352 --> 00:01:46.723
Let's go follow her life together.
00:01:46.723 --> 00:01:49.225
Turn in your bible if you would to mark chapter two.
00:01:49.225 --> 00:01:52.495
You can't go back much further
00:01:52.495 --> 00:01:54.364
And chronicling the life of jesus than chapter two.
00:01:54.364 --> 00:01:57.267
But jesus said something right here.
00:01:58.034 --> 00:01:59.335
I want you to start at verse 18 with me.
00:01:59.335 --> 00:02:01.804
"the disciples of john and the pharisees were fasting.
00:02:01.804 --> 00:02:05.341
Then they came and said to him,
00:02:05.975 --> 00:02:07.343
'why do the disciples of john
00:02:07.343 --> 00:02:09.612
And the pharisees fast, but your disciples did not fast?'
00:02:09.612 --> 00:02:15.218
And jesus said to them,
00:02:15.718 --> 00:02:16.986
'can the friends of the bridegroom fast
00:02:16.986 --> 00:02:19.522
While the bridegroom is with them?'
00:02:19.522 --> 00:02:22.225
As long as they have the bridegroom with them,
00:02:22.225 --> 00:02:25.461
They cannot fast.
00:02:25.461 --> 00:02:27.063
The days will come when the bridegroom
00:02:27.897 --> 00:02:30.567
Will be taken away from them
00:02:30.567 --> 00:02:31.868
And they will not fast in those days."
00:02:31.868 --> 00:02:34.137
No one, here's where i wanna bog down.
00:02:34.938 --> 00:02:36.472
"no one sews a piece of shrunk cloth on an old garment
00:02:36.472 --> 00:02:41.644
Or else the new piece pulls away from the old
00:02:42.579 --> 00:02:45.815
And the tear is made worse.
00:02:45.815 --> 00:02:48.218
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins
00:02:48.218 --> 00:02:51.588
Or else the new wine bursts the wineskins
00:02:52.455 --> 00:02:54.657
And the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined.
00:02:54.657 --> 00:02:59.095
But new wine must be put in new wineskins."
00:02:59.996 --> 00:03:05.969
One corinthians 15, start at verse 42.
00:03:06.803 --> 00:03:15.311
"so also as the resurrection of the dead.
00:03:16.179 --> 00:03:18.982
The body is sown in corruption, it's raised in incorruption.
00:03:20.149 --> 00:03:23.720
It is sown in dishonor, but it's raised in glory.
00:03:23.720 --> 00:03:25.822
It's sown in weakness, but it's raised in power.
00:03:25.822 --> 00:03:28.758
It's sown a natural body, it's raised a spiritual body.
00:03:28.758 --> 00:03:33.296
There is a natural body, there is a spiritual body.
00:03:34.297 --> 00:03:38.801
And so it is written, 'the first man, adam,
00:03:38.801 --> 00:03:41.070
Became a living being.'
00:03:41.070 --> 00:03:42.372
The last adam became a life-giving spirit.
00:03:42.372 --> 00:03:46.109
However, the spiritual is not first."
00:03:46.109 --> 00:03:49.979
However, the spiritual is not first.
00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:53.916
Those of you who are waiting on god,
00:03:53.916 --> 00:03:55.618
"however, the spiritual is not first,
00:03:55.618 --> 00:04:00.089
But the natural and afterward the spiritual.
00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:06.162
"the first man of earth was made of dust;
00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:09.332
The second man of the lord from heaven
00:04:09.332 --> 00:04:12.035
As was the man of dust, so are those made of the man of dust
00:04:13.236 --> 00:04:16.506
And as is the heavenly man,
00:04:17.106 --> 00:04:18.741
So are those made who are heavenly."
00:04:18.741 --> 00:04:22.011
Lord bless the reading of your word. these are great truths.
00:04:22.011 --> 00:04:25.648
This is, i'm doing a little bit of a throwback.
00:04:25.648 --> 00:04:30.420
This is one of those topics
00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:32.422
That i normally would probably preach to pastors
00:04:32.422 --> 00:04:38.828
In leadership conferences and things like that.
00:04:39.829 --> 00:04:42.665
But it's very applicable to where we are in the book of ruth
00:04:43.833 --> 00:04:47.437
And what i believe god is doing in a lot of our lives.
00:04:47.437 --> 00:04:50.440
And i want you to roll with me right here because,
00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:52.742
And stay dialed in 'cause i gotta teach you a little bit.
00:04:52.742 --> 00:04:55.645
But this is a very, very powerful truth
00:04:55.645 --> 00:04:58.915
And i'm gonna get to one point on it
00:04:58.915 --> 00:05:00.183
And it's gonna really challenge.
00:05:00.183 --> 00:05:01.584
I know what most people have been taught in church.
00:05:01.584 --> 00:05:05.355
The bible says that jesus was coming up on a group
00:05:05.355 --> 00:05:09.959
Of people that were religious.
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.361
They were pharisees.
00:05:11.361 --> 00:05:12.762
That was the traditional organized church of the day.
00:05:12.762 --> 00:05:18.234
The funny thing about the pharisees
00:05:19.035 --> 00:05:20.870
Are everything they did was in anticipation of the messiah.
00:05:20.870 --> 00:05:27.377
And jesus was trying to help 'em understand
00:05:28.277 --> 00:05:30.513
What you are fasting for as standing in front of you.
00:05:30.513 --> 00:05:34.917
And so many times we can be
00:05:35.518 --> 00:05:37.086
So spiritually anticipating our blessing.
00:05:37.086 --> 00:05:39.922
We're so caught up in the spirit
00:05:39.922 --> 00:05:41.724
That we don't realize it when god
00:05:41.724 --> 00:05:43.126
Lets it roll right down the street.
00:05:43.126 --> 00:05:46.195
And he said, why are your disciples not fasting?
00:05:47.163 --> 00:05:51.901
And we're all fasting.
00:05:51.901 --> 00:05:53.803
And jesus said, you don't wait till the wedding
00:05:53.803 --> 00:05:56.205
Starts to fast.
00:05:56.205 --> 00:05:58.808
You fast to get to the wedding,
00:05:59.442 --> 00:06:01.611
But the wedding is standing in front of you now.
00:06:02.612 --> 00:06:05.014
Now ain't the time to fast. now's the time to feast.
00:06:05.014 --> 00:06:08.951
'cause the bridegroom is here.
00:06:09.585 --> 00:06:11.354
There'll be a time when i'll be taken away.
00:06:11.354 --> 00:06:14.323
He said, then you need to fast again.
00:06:14.323 --> 00:06:15.958
I'll die. i'll be resurrected.
00:06:15.958 --> 00:06:17.460
I'll go back, ascend to the father
00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:18.995
And there'll be a time where i'll establish my church
00:06:18.995 --> 00:06:21.297
In the earth.
00:06:21.297 --> 00:06:22.598
During that time, you need to fast again.
00:06:22.598 --> 00:06:23.933
But while i'm here, it's not time to fast.
00:06:23.933 --> 00:06:27.270
And then he goes into, you can't put new garments
00:06:27.270 --> 00:06:31.507
And tie it or sew it to old garments.
00:06:31.507 --> 00:06:34.110
And he said, you can't put wine in old wineskins.
00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:38.414
Now let me roll this thing out here a little bit
00:06:38.414 --> 00:06:40.817
'cause we don't have that context.
00:06:40.817 --> 00:06:42.585
'cause nobody understand my voice
00:06:42.585 --> 00:06:44.053
Has ever drank wine out of a wineskin.
00:06:44.053 --> 00:06:46.322
But that's the way they held.
00:06:46.322 --> 00:06:48.191
And they kept wine pure back in those days.
00:06:48.191 --> 00:06:51.994
Having said that,
00:06:51.994 --> 00:06:53.696
Jesus was getting across the spiritual truth
00:06:53.696 --> 00:06:56.833
That i try to get across to people all the time.
00:06:56.833 --> 00:06:59.669
'cause i see people frustrated that new seasons
00:06:59.669 --> 00:07:02.004
And new blessings never break out,
00:07:02.004 --> 00:07:04.040
But they never make any changes in their present life.
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.511
Jesus is saying they're coming to him out of the law.
00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:14.851
Up until jesus god gave a law,
00:07:15.485 --> 00:07:18.554
The bible said the law brought with it a curse.
00:07:19.489 --> 00:07:23.192
Why?
00:07:23.392 --> 00:07:24.727
Because the bible says the law was spiritual,
00:07:24.727 --> 00:07:26.829
But we had no ability to be spiritual
00:07:27.630 --> 00:07:30.366
Because jesus had not come.
00:07:30.366 --> 00:07:32.602
So a people that are spiritually dead
00:07:32.602 --> 00:07:35.505
Had spiritual guidelines they were given to keep.
00:07:35.505 --> 00:07:39.008
So what's the curse of the law? you can't keep it.
00:07:39.008 --> 00:07:42.645
So you got fleshly people
00:07:43.212 --> 00:07:44.914
Trying to meet a spiritual standard.
00:07:44.914 --> 00:07:47.483
So it keeps you on the treadmill every day
00:07:47.483 --> 00:07:49.652
Of trying to be good enough.
00:07:49.652 --> 00:07:51.487
It keeps you on a religious performance
00:07:52.355 --> 00:07:54.590
Relationship with god.
00:07:54.590 --> 00:07:56.659
So all they've had is ceremony over 615 different laws,
00:07:56.659 --> 00:08:01.497
Ceremonies, sacrifices, rules, traditions
00:08:01.497 --> 00:08:05.468
That they had to keep.
00:08:05.468 --> 00:08:06.969
Jesus shows up and he says, i have fulfilled the law.
00:08:06.969 --> 00:08:11.240
He says, every requirement that god demanded
00:08:12.141 --> 00:08:15.077
In all of those 615 traditions,
00:08:15.077 --> 00:08:18.247
All of them have been met in me.
00:08:18.247 --> 00:08:20.583
And now all you've got to do
00:08:20.583 --> 00:08:22.051
Is ask jesus christ into your heart.
00:08:22.051 --> 00:08:24.353
And every spiritual requirement god has, has been met.
00:08:24.353 --> 00:08:27.957
Is anybody glad that you didn't have to come to church
00:08:27.957 --> 00:08:30.927
And bring your own goat?
00:08:30.927 --> 00:08:32.695
You didn't have to bring your own sheep,
00:08:32.695 --> 00:08:34.764
You didn't have to slaughter a bull.
00:08:34.764 --> 00:08:36.732
You didn't have to deliver the blood of pigeons.
00:08:36.732 --> 00:08:39.168
I'm so glad i didn't have to go
00:08:39.168 --> 00:08:41.170
Through performing on a treadmill,
00:08:41.170 --> 00:08:42.905
Trying to be good enough for god that i woke up this morning
00:08:42.905 --> 00:08:46.242
And jesus lived in my heart.
00:08:46.242 --> 00:08:48.010
And because that i have right standing with god
00:08:48.010 --> 00:08:51.080
And i've got a clear conscience with god.
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.249
If you can't get excited about that,
00:08:53.249 --> 00:08:55.017
I ain't got nothing to help you.
00:08:55.017 --> 00:08:56.686
Somebody thank god for jesus.
00:08:56.686 --> 00:09:01.123
Hey!
00:09:01.324 --> 00:09:04.727
Last week i spoke to you about restoration.
00:09:05.628 --> 00:09:08.965
That's where ruth's at through boaz,
00:09:09.732 --> 00:09:14.937
Through jesus.
00:09:15.304 --> 00:09:17.239
This is the gospel that's not being preached in america.
00:09:17.239 --> 00:09:20.076
We're bringing you to jesus,
00:09:20.076 --> 00:09:22.678
But nobody's taking you through jesus,
00:09:22.678 --> 00:09:26.749
Through jesus, through boaz.
00:09:27.350 --> 00:09:30.286
Everything ruth was born for
00:09:30.886 --> 00:09:35.024
Every promise god ever made,
00:09:35.625 --> 00:09:38.661
She is about to possess through her union with boaz,
00:09:39.729 --> 00:09:45.001
Your meeting with jesus is not the end of your experience.
00:09:46.168 --> 00:09:51.407
There is a through jesus christ
00:09:52.041 --> 00:09:54.343
That every one of you need to walk.
00:09:54.343 --> 00:09:56.145
That is the kind of church you're listening to
00:09:56.145 --> 00:09:57.947
That is the kind of preacher you're listening to.
00:09:57.947 --> 00:09:59.882
I'm not just gonna bring you to him,
00:09:59.882 --> 00:10:01.350
But i'm gonna let you open the door and walk through him
00:10:01.350 --> 00:10:03.886
Because there's a life on the other side of jesus
00:10:03.886 --> 00:10:06.489
That he paid a horrible price for you to have.
00:10:06.489 --> 00:10:10.426
And it says the bible.
00:10:10.926 --> 00:10:12.461
Jesus went up and spoke to the man
00:10:12.461 --> 00:10:15.731
And said, stretch out your hand,
00:10:15.731 --> 00:10:16.832
The man with the withered hand.
00:10:16.832 --> 00:10:19.035
And he stretched out his hand.
00:10:19.035 --> 00:10:20.603
And the bible said it was not healed, but it was restored.
00:10:20.603 --> 00:10:25.007
It's the same word used for ruth.
00:10:25.741 --> 00:10:28.044
It's the same word used in joel too when god said
00:10:29.045 --> 00:10:30.980
He will restore everything that the locust
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:33.349
Or the enemy has taken from your life.
00:10:33.349 --> 00:10:36.052
But the word restore has a definition to it
00:10:36.052 --> 00:10:38.688
That i rarely hear preached.
00:10:38.688 --> 00:10:40.022
It means to grow a new structure.
00:10:40.022 --> 00:10:44.393
So he did not have five fingers
00:10:45.027 --> 00:10:48.330
That were not functioning properly and he healed it.
00:10:48.330 --> 00:10:51.267
Evidently there was no structure there.
00:10:52.134 --> 00:10:55.271
So the restoration, the word restore,
00:10:56.072 --> 00:10:58.741
Was used instead of heal
00:10:58.741 --> 00:11:00.309
Because god had to create a structure that didn't exist.
00:11:00.309 --> 00:11:05.214
When god restores something to you,
00:11:06.015 --> 00:11:08.584
That means whatever you lost, he's gonna take that and more
00:11:08.584 --> 00:11:12.688
And return it to you.
00:11:12.688 --> 00:11:14.256
But you've got to build a new container to hold it.
00:11:14.256 --> 00:11:17.727
If you try to take the new blessing
00:11:17.727 --> 00:11:20.529
And put it in the old container,
00:11:20.529 --> 00:11:22.932
The old container was what got it stole
00:11:22.932 --> 00:11:25.601
From you in the first place.
00:11:25.601 --> 00:11:28.404
Why would god take it
00:11:28.904 --> 00:11:30.406
And give it all back in the same structure
00:11:30.406 --> 00:11:33.342
That caused you to lose it the first time.
00:11:33.342 --> 00:11:37.346
So you are gonna have to create new containers for god
00:11:38.447 --> 00:11:42.651
To restore everything back to you
00:11:42.651 --> 00:11:45.221
That he intended to be yours.
00:11:45.221 --> 00:11:46.722
Is anybody in the sound of my voice? no.
00:11:46.722 --> 00:11:48.758
What i'm talking about.
00:11:48.758 --> 00:11:50.259
So he comes up to these pharisees
00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:52.795
And the pharisees are in front
00:11:52.795 --> 00:11:55.097
Of what they've been waiting for, the new wine,
00:11:55.097 --> 00:11:57.700
But they're coming to him out of an old mindset.
00:11:57.700 --> 00:12:00.836
And they're saying, jesus needs to come
00:12:00.836 --> 00:12:02.972
Listen to that, and obey the law.
00:12:02.972 --> 00:12:05.107
And jesus fulfills the law.
00:12:05.708 --> 00:12:07.843
You know i said i can mess y'all up real bad.
00:12:08.778 --> 00:12:10.813
I know y'all like to put the 10 commandments
00:12:10.813 --> 00:12:12.848
In your front yard, but jesus fulfilled all that stuff.
00:12:12.848 --> 00:12:16.852
If you got jesus, you got all 10 of 'em
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.655
On the inside of you.
00:12:19.655 --> 00:12:21.056
If you got jesus, you got all the blood of goats and bulls
00:12:22.224 --> 00:12:25.027
And pigeon that all on the inside of you, you got it all.
00:12:25.027 --> 00:12:28.564
I know some of you want to keep the sabbath
00:12:28.564 --> 00:12:30.633
And keep it holy.
00:12:30.633 --> 00:12:31.901
But jesus came and said, i'm lord of the sabbath.
00:12:31.901 --> 00:12:33.803
He was picking fruit on the sabbath.
00:12:33.803 --> 00:12:35.104
They said, why do you work on the sabbath?
00:12:35.104 --> 00:12:37.540
He said, i don't keep the sabbath. i am the sabbath.
00:12:37.540 --> 00:12:41.377
In other words, he said, if you accept me,
00:12:41.377 --> 00:12:43.612
You get to rest every day.
00:12:43.612 --> 00:12:46.048
I'll rest your soul from torment.
00:12:46.782 --> 00:12:48.984
I'll rest your soul from discouragement and depression.
00:12:48.984 --> 00:12:52.054
If you accept me, rest don't come one day a week.
00:12:52.054 --> 00:12:55.858
Rest comes all week long for the rest of your life.
00:12:55.858 --> 00:12:59.728
Wow, somebody thank god for jesus. my god, i preach it.
00:12:59.728 --> 00:13:05.601
People and say, i thank god for jesus today.
00:13:06.502 --> 00:13:08.704
I thank jesus.
00:13:08.704 --> 00:13:12.308
If you're gonna come into everything god has for you,
00:13:12.308 --> 00:13:15.311
If you're gonna come into your wealth,
00:13:15.311 --> 00:13:17.146
If you're gonna come into your property,
00:13:17.146 --> 00:13:18.948
If you're gonna come into your success,
00:13:18.948 --> 00:13:20.950
And if it's going to go well with you,
00:13:20.950 --> 00:13:23.085
You're gonna have to get to the point.
00:13:23.085 --> 00:13:24.420
You don't come to me and ask me what's next?
00:13:24.420 --> 00:13:27.223
You are gonna have to ask the holy ghost
00:13:27.223 --> 00:13:28.991
On the inside of you what's next.
00:13:28.991 --> 00:13:31.393
- [narrator] in this series?
00:13:31.393 --> 00:13:32.428
Ron carpenter exposes you
00:13:32.428 --> 00:13:34.096
To blessings you thought were potentially beyond your reach.
00:13:34.096 --> 00:13:37.600
- but there are a people of god that are being raised
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.936
Back up to glory
00:13:40.936 --> 00:13:42.271
And god wants to stand behind what they say.
00:13:42.271 --> 00:13:44.940
You need to get ready for unprecedented blessing.
00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:48.244
I'm ready for what my father's got
00:13:48.244 --> 00:13:50.880
Because i'm a fully mature son
00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:54.884
Led by the spirit of god.

(upbeat music)
00:14:12.801 --> 00:14:42.665
- so jesus introduces two subjects,
00:14:43.465 --> 00:14:50.873
Please hear me today.
00:14:51.373 --> 00:14:52.574
This is so important. so important.
00:14:52.574 --> 00:14:56.779
He talks about wine and he talks about a wineskin.
00:14:57.813 --> 00:15:02.618
The wine is eternal.
00:15:03.085 --> 00:15:07.189
The wine is god made.
00:15:07.690 --> 00:15:11.360
The wine is not subject to change, period.
00:15:12.227 --> 00:15:21.537
The wineskin is temporary.
00:15:22.104 --> 00:15:25.474
The wineskin is manmade.
00:15:25.975 --> 00:15:29.745
The wineskin is always subject to change.
00:15:30.612 --> 00:15:34.516
Y'all ain't saying a thing.
00:15:35.117 --> 00:15:41.290
And he comes to them
00:15:41.757 --> 00:15:43.058
And says, when i want to pour out a fresh this,
00:15:43.058 --> 00:15:49.064
You are gonna have to give me a brand new this.
00:15:50.065 --> 00:15:58.307
Here's what i got publicly rebuked for.
00:15:59.174 --> 00:16:03.846
Earth does not respond to heaven.
00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:09.485
Heaven responds to earth.
00:16:10.052 --> 00:16:13.822
God said, nothing will come out of heaven
00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:17.092
Until you build a container.
00:16:17.092 --> 00:16:20.529
What are the things you are building in your life
00:16:21.530 --> 00:16:25.134
To hold god's next season?
00:16:25.701 --> 00:16:28.937
What are the changes you are making
00:16:29.705 --> 00:16:32.908
For the next blessing?
00:16:33.409 --> 00:16:34.977
Or are you sitting here frustrated,
00:16:34.977 --> 00:16:37.346
Operating with the same habits,
00:16:37.346 --> 00:16:39.248
Same disciplines, same containers,
00:16:39.248 --> 00:16:41.683
But wanting god to do a new thing.
00:16:41.683 --> 00:16:44.119
And heaven is sitting waiting with your new season
00:16:45.154 --> 00:16:48.824
For earth to respond with tearing down an old thing
00:16:48.824 --> 00:16:52.561
And building a new thing.
00:16:52.561 --> 00:16:54.263
But yet we're frustrated waiting on heaven saying god,
00:16:54.263 --> 00:16:57.199
When are you going to do something?
00:16:57.199 --> 00:16:58.834
And god is from heaven looking at earth saying,
00:16:58.834 --> 00:17:01.136
When are you going to build me something to do it in?
00:17:01.136 --> 00:17:05.474
I'm preaching.
00:17:05.841 --> 00:17:06.942
I'm just telling you i'm preaching.
00:17:06.942 --> 00:17:11.880
And god said, if you want to keep what i'm doing fresh,
00:17:12.981 --> 00:17:17.453
You are gonna constantly have to update this.
00:17:17.453 --> 00:17:20.656
Those of you that are rigid in your personality profile,
00:17:21.790 --> 00:17:25.027
You are stubborn in your stance and you do not like change.
00:17:25.027 --> 00:17:29.098
You are going to miss a myriad of blessings in god
00:17:29.098 --> 00:17:32.835
Because god likens himself to water.
00:17:32.835 --> 00:17:35.471
He said, i flow wherever i want to flow.
00:17:35.471 --> 00:17:37.973
He likens himself to win. i blow wherever i want to blow.
00:17:37.973 --> 00:17:42.244
And you can't have a rigid mentality and have a moving god.
00:17:42.244 --> 00:17:46.715
And your mindset is robbing you of the next place
00:17:46.715 --> 00:17:50.185
That god wants to take you.
00:17:50.185 --> 00:17:51.954
Your rigidity is robbing you
00:17:51.954 --> 00:17:54.123
Of the next thing god wants to pour out.
00:17:54.123 --> 00:17:56.825
You've got to tear down, behold
00:17:56.825 --> 00:17:58.627
And build the new to hold the next blessing.
00:17:58.627 --> 00:18:01.797
I'm going to give not everybody
00:18:01.797 --> 00:18:03.732
But somebody who's ready to build something,
00:18:03.732 --> 00:18:06.301
Five seconds to throw your hand up in the air
00:18:06.301 --> 00:18:09.438
And say, god, i'll build it if you'll bring it.
00:18:09.438 --> 00:18:12.341
Oh lord! help us god.
00:18:12.341 --> 00:18:15.677
Thank you jesus. thank you lord.
00:18:16.311 --> 00:18:25.787
This waits on this.
00:18:26.255 --> 00:18:29.791
I don't believe that what you said,
00:18:30.592 --> 00:18:32.427
Heaven is waiting on earth.
00:18:32.427 --> 00:18:34.263
If any of two of you agree on earth,
00:18:34.263 --> 00:18:37.166
(audience cheering)
00:18:37.166 --> 00:18:41.870
Then it shall be done by my father in heaven.
00:18:42.804 --> 00:18:47.576
Whatever you bind on earth, i'll bind in heaven.
00:18:48.577 --> 00:18:53.715
Whatever you loose in the earth,
00:18:54.349 --> 00:18:58.220
I will loose in the heavens.
00:18:58.820 --> 00:19:01.089
I'm here to tell those of you that are frustrated,
00:19:01.089 --> 00:19:04.526
You are not waiting on heaven.
00:19:04.526 --> 00:19:06.628
Heaven is waiting on you.
00:19:06.628 --> 00:19:09.431
Shout, hallelujah.
00:19:09.431 --> 00:19:12.301
Oh, now let me meddle.
00:19:12.801 --> 00:19:17.105
Don't sit back down 'cause it's about...
00:19:17.105 --> 00:19:19.241
I'm going from bible to your closet.
00:19:19.241 --> 00:19:23.378
You ain't preached till you meddled.
00:19:24.146 --> 00:19:29.318
Okay, we know that praise
00:19:29.885 --> 00:19:32.654
And god's presence are inseparable.
00:19:32.654 --> 00:19:35.257
Praise is eternal. it is god's idea.
00:19:35.257 --> 00:19:38.961
It is not subject to change.
00:19:38.961 --> 00:19:40.996
You're not gonna talk him out of it.
00:19:40.996 --> 00:19:43.765
The angels were doing it in eternity
00:19:44.566 --> 00:19:46.335
And they're crying holy, holy right now.
00:19:46.335 --> 00:19:48.870
Praise is god's idea.
00:19:49.371 --> 00:19:51.373
It's god created
00:19:51.373 --> 00:19:52.774
And it is not subject to change the way you do it.
00:19:52.774 --> 00:19:57.779
Now some of you are wanting a next dimension experience
00:19:58.914 --> 00:20:01.617
With god, but your praise has not changed in 17 years.
00:20:01.617 --> 00:20:06.955
You come in here every sunday
00:20:07.589 --> 00:20:09.391
And no matter what song, what beat, what tempo,
00:20:09.391 --> 00:20:12.060
You do the same thing.
00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:13.629
But you want god to pour out something new.
00:20:14.529 --> 00:20:17.032
And i'll say sometimes you just need
00:20:17.833 --> 00:20:19.167
To get out in the aisle
00:20:19.167 --> 00:20:20.068
And there might be seven.
00:20:20.068 --> 00:20:21.503
There's thousands of people in here
00:20:21.503 --> 00:20:23.038
And seven people get out in the aisle.
00:20:23.038 --> 00:20:25.207
Why should god put a new dimension of wine in a container
00:20:25.207 --> 00:20:29.811
You refuse to change?
00:20:29.811 --> 00:20:31.747
Your clap is the same old clap.
00:20:32.381 --> 00:20:34.716
Your bob is the same old bob.
00:20:34.716 --> 00:20:36.885
You raise your hand the same link.
00:20:36.885 --> 00:20:38.987
When have you built god a new container
00:20:38.987 --> 00:20:41.723
For him to pour out a new dimension of his presence?
00:20:41.723 --> 00:20:44.793
When is the last time your worship went from this
00:20:44.793 --> 00:20:48.530
To tears on your face to getting on your knees
00:20:48.530 --> 00:20:51.366
And turning around right there in the pew?
00:20:51.366 --> 00:20:53.335
When's the last time you laid on carpet
00:20:53.335 --> 00:20:55.470
And put your nose on the floor
00:20:55.470 --> 00:20:57.339
And said, i am not getting off this floor,
00:20:57.339 --> 00:20:59.541
God, until you bless me,
00:20:59.541 --> 00:21:01.176
Until i am soaked with your presence, i will not get up.
00:21:01.176 --> 00:21:04.980
You cannot put a next season god in a last season habit.
00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:10.252
(audience cheering)
00:21:10.719 --> 00:21:17.626
You want to move from thousands to millions.
00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:21.029
You don't manage millions like you do thousands.
00:21:21.029 --> 00:21:26.401
So you want god to bring you next dimension wealth,
00:21:27.402 --> 00:21:31.173
But you have last seasons spending habits.
00:21:31.173 --> 00:21:33.942
I don't manage this church now like i did
00:21:33.942 --> 00:21:36.411
When it brought in a thousand dollars a week.
00:21:36.411 --> 00:21:39.514
In fact, i have about a hundred people helping me manage it.
00:21:40.682 --> 00:21:45.454
But what do you do?
00:21:45.921 --> 00:21:47.589
God don't bless it. then you go make the container.
00:21:47.589 --> 00:21:51.193
You make the container now for the next blessing,
00:21:52.194 --> 00:21:57.165
Which makes you always in step with tomorrow
00:21:58.100 --> 00:22:01.236
And outta step with now.
00:22:01.236 --> 00:22:08.677
I've given this example before.
00:22:09.311 --> 00:22:11.380
I remember the first year i ever went to the prom
00:22:12.381 --> 00:22:15.951
And my dad let me drive his car, which wasn't a big deal,
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:21.890
But he let me drive his car
00:22:22.491 --> 00:22:24.092
Because the first one i had probably wouldn't have made it.
00:22:24.092 --> 00:22:28.330
And my daddy, bless his heart, i got in the car,
00:22:29.297 --> 00:22:32.934
He got ready to go prominence outta gas.
00:22:32.934 --> 00:22:35.404
I think he did it on purpose.
00:22:36.037 --> 00:22:37.839
I had to go back to funeral plot several times.
00:22:38.840 --> 00:22:40.542
Said "you do that on purpose, daddy,
00:22:40.542 --> 00:22:41.977
You do that to me on purpose."
00:22:41.977 --> 00:22:44.212
Sat there totally outta gas.
00:22:44.813 --> 00:22:46.248
So i had to go to the gas station in a tux.
00:22:46.248 --> 00:22:50.585
In town i lived in that habit about like two gas stations.
00:22:51.753 --> 00:22:54.990
So i'm up there at a gas station, pumping gas in a tux.
00:22:56.057 --> 00:23:00.695
People pull up beside me to the next tank
00:23:01.596 --> 00:23:04.032
And just look at me.
00:23:04.032 --> 00:23:05.634
They ain't even said nothing
00:23:05.634 --> 00:23:06.902
And i'm answering them, "i'm going to prom."
00:23:06.902 --> 00:23:08.904
(audience laughing)
00:23:08.904 --> 00:23:13.041
They ain't even said nothing to me, but i'm answering them.
00:23:14.209 --> 00:23:17.913
Why? because i know i'm not dressed for where i am.
00:23:17.913 --> 00:23:21.616
I'm dressed for where i'm going.
00:23:21.616 --> 00:23:26.321
Somebody needs to get dressed.
00:23:26.955 --> 00:23:29.891
You need to undo the clothes for where you are
00:23:30.859 --> 00:23:34.529
And quit worrying about what people going to say about you.
00:23:34.529 --> 00:23:37.532
And you need to put on the garments of tomorrow.
00:23:37.532 --> 00:23:40.569
And it may make you look funny today,
00:23:40.569 --> 00:23:43.371
But when god pours out the wine,
00:23:43.371 --> 00:23:46.174
You'll be dressed for your blessing.
00:23:46.174 --> 00:23:48.577
I'm about ready to take this chalkboard,
00:23:48.577 --> 00:23:49.911
Just thorn across this building.
00:23:49.911 --> 00:23:51.379
Somebody give god a five second praise in this house.
00:23:51.379 --> 00:23:55.083
Hallelujah. hallelujah.
00:23:55.584 --> 00:23:59.721
I just love preaching these messages.
00:24:00.522 --> 00:24:02.123
I just wish i could get all of my preaching
00:24:02.123 --> 00:24:03.859
In one tv program, one tv broadcast,
00:24:03.859 --> 00:24:06.795
But i can't do it
00:24:06.795 --> 00:24:08.129
'cause i hadn't learned how to be short-winded.
00:24:08.129 --> 00:24:09.798
I'm still a long-winded preacher.
00:24:09.798 --> 00:24:11.433
I wanna thank you so much for being with us
00:24:11.433 --> 00:24:13.301
And i'd ask you to stay with us
00:24:13.301 --> 00:24:14.669
Just a few minutes longer because yes, we do.
00:24:14.669 --> 00:24:16.805
We do need your support.
00:24:16.805 --> 00:24:18.106
And that's what i wanna talk to you about here
00:24:18.106 --> 00:24:19.975
In the closing minutes.
00:24:19.975 --> 00:24:21.376
There is a law that i have let guide in my life
00:24:21.376 --> 00:24:24.312
That has blessed me.
00:24:24.312 --> 00:24:25.547
The bible says, "let him who is taught
00:24:25.547 --> 00:24:28.216
Sharing all good things with him who teaches."
00:24:28.216 --> 00:24:30.685
Why don't you stay with me just a moment.
00:24:30.685 --> 00:24:32.621
I have put this law to work in my life.
00:24:32.621 --> 00:24:34.356
If there's a book that i read,
00:24:34.356 --> 00:24:36.057
And yes, i may pay 1299, 1499 for the book,
00:24:36.057 --> 00:24:40.896
But if there's a book that i read that alters my life
00:24:40.896 --> 00:24:44.132
And i mean just changes my life,
00:24:44.132 --> 00:24:46.501
It is not uncommon for me to send that author a offering.
00:24:46.501 --> 00:24:51.907
If i hear a message that radically revolutionizes my life,
00:24:53.074 --> 00:24:55.577
It is commonplace for me to turn around and reciprocate.
00:24:55.577 --> 00:24:59.581
There's something that happens when you receive
00:24:59.581 --> 00:25:01.750
From somebody where god will bless it
00:25:01.750 --> 00:25:03.552
When you complete the circle.
00:25:03.552 --> 00:25:05.253
Let him who is taught turn back around
00:25:05.253 --> 00:25:07.322
And share the blessing that came from that
00:25:07.322 --> 00:25:09.991
With him who teaches.
00:25:09.991 --> 00:25:11.493
I don't know if these messages
00:25:11.493 --> 00:25:13.194
Have made an impact on your life or not,
00:25:13.194 --> 00:25:15.297
But if they do, would you consider
00:25:15.297 --> 00:25:17.365
Doing what i've put the work in my life
00:25:17.365 --> 00:25:19.000
And seeing god so richly blessed?
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:20.502
Complete the circle as we have done everything we can
00:25:20.502 --> 00:25:23.572
Since 1998 to make an investment in you.
00:25:23.572 --> 00:25:26.408
Would you turn back around and make an investment?
00:25:26.408 --> 00:25:28.209
It can be a one-time gift.
00:25:28.209 --> 00:25:29.711
You can become a part of the family
00:25:29.711 --> 00:25:31.379
And be a monthly partner.
00:25:31.379 --> 00:25:32.647
And whether it's a one-time gift
00:25:32.647 --> 00:25:34.082
Or monthly partner, if it's your first time giving,
00:25:34.082 --> 00:25:37.319
We have this wonderful gift right here
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:38.954
That we're gonna send you just for your first gift
00:25:38.954 --> 00:25:42.190
To say thank you and to say we you to this ministry.
00:25:42.190 --> 00:25:45.694
And if you wanna be a part of the family,
00:25:45.694 --> 00:25:47.429
We would love that to happen also.
00:25:47.429 --> 00:25:49.230
Thank you for those who've given for so long,
00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:51.099
Prayed for us for so long, supported us for so long,
00:25:51.099 --> 00:25:53.969
Good, bad highs and lows, you've been there.
00:25:53.969 --> 00:25:56.371
We're grateful and we don't forget it.
00:25:56.371 --> 00:25:58.173
I need you to run out
00:25:58.173 --> 00:25:59.474
And do more than just watch on tv though.
00:25:59.474 --> 00:26:01.176
I need you to connect with me on facebook, instagram,
00:26:01.176 --> 00:26:03.445
And on twitter because i'm talking on there all the time,
00:26:03.445 --> 00:26:06.147
Interactive videos, praying for people, dropping nuggets,
00:26:06.147 --> 00:26:09.484
Sermon clips, always something on there.
00:26:09.484 --> 00:26:12.153
And you can get a relationship
00:26:12.153 --> 00:26:13.622
With this ministry on a deeper level.
00:26:13.622 --> 00:26:15.557
And i would like to get to know you on a deeper level.
00:26:15.557 --> 00:26:17.792
We need to hear from you testimonies, praise reports.
00:26:17.792 --> 00:26:20.528
You need prayer? you want to accept jesus?
00:26:20.528 --> 00:26:22.797

00:26:26.668 --> 00:26:27.902
And pray with you about your certain need.
00:26:27.902 --> 00:26:29.938

I believe all these things can make

A great difference in your life.
00:26:41.316 --> 00:26:42.984
It is a pleasure to serve you
00:26:42.984 --> 00:26:44.953
And be able to speak into your life.
