Ron Carpenter | Ron Carpenter - The Favor Effect (Part 2) | March 16, 2026

- when the storm came that the man
00:00:01.016 --> 00:00:02.551
Who built his house upon the sand, it washed away.
00:00:02.551 --> 00:00:04.453
But when the storm came,
00:00:04.453 --> 00:00:05.888
The man who built his house upon the rock,
00:00:05.888 --> 00:00:07.556
It stayed right where it was.
00:00:07.556 --> 00:00:09.324
And they said, what's the difference between the two?
00:00:09.324 --> 00:00:11.593
They said the one on the sand
00:00:11.593 --> 00:00:13.128
Of the people that heard the word but didn't do the word.
00:00:13.128 --> 00:00:16.632
But the people with the rock,
00:00:16.632 --> 00:00:18.934
They're the ones that heard the word
00:00:18.934 --> 00:00:20.569
And then they experienced the word.
00:00:20.569 --> 00:00:23.072
See, the reason i act like i do
00:00:23.072 --> 00:00:25.107
Is because i'm not giving you something
00:00:25.107 --> 00:00:27.042
I read out of a book.
00:00:27.042 --> 00:00:28.510
So i can't come in here and just talk about it.
00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:30.779
I gotta sweat and run
00:00:30.779 --> 00:00:32.414
And jump a little bit.
00:00:32.414 --> 00:00:33.549
Why?
00:00:33.549 --> 00:00:34.817
Because my house is built upon the rock.
00:00:34.817 --> 00:00:37.086
Because i didn't just hear it.
00:00:37.086 --> 00:00:38.887
I experienced it.
00:00:38.887 --> 00:00:40.089
(soft music)
00:00:40.089 --> 00:00:58.540
A lot of people when they tell you they didn't have much,
00:00:59.675 --> 00:01:02.311
You know they,
00:01:02.311 --> 00:01:03.679
That can mean different things.
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.380
This was a choice we made.
00:01:05.380 --> 00:01:07.716
But when hope and i started out,
00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:10.719
She agreed.
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:11.987
She was a part-time student.
00:01:11.987 --> 00:01:13.522
We'd borrow and all the money to send her to school
00:01:13.522 --> 00:01:16.358
And we had this tiny little apartment
00:01:17.126 --> 00:01:19.061
And she was a voice major.
00:01:19.061 --> 00:01:20.195
So she would teach voice lessons
00:01:20.195 --> 00:01:22.531
For like $20 a pop or something in our little apartment.
00:01:22.531 --> 00:01:25.934
And i gave myself morning to night to a church plant.
00:01:25.934 --> 00:01:29.371
Back in that time,
00:01:29.371 --> 00:01:31.006
36 years ago, nobody started churches.
00:01:31.006 --> 00:01:33.942
When i told people i wanna start a church, it's like, hmm.
00:01:35.077 --> 00:01:37.679
You get in line for an existing church,
00:01:37.679 --> 00:01:40.916
That's already got a parsonage and already got insurance
00:01:40.916 --> 00:01:44.553
And already got a retirement plan
00:01:44.553 --> 00:01:45.821
And you don't go out and start a church.
00:01:45.821 --> 00:01:47.556
Now it's a thing.
00:01:47.556 --> 00:01:48.924
Back then, nobody did it.
00:01:48.924 --> 00:01:51.226
There was no internet. okay?
00:01:51.226 --> 00:01:53.228
I am dating myself.
00:01:53.228 --> 00:01:55.164
There was no social media.
00:01:55.164 --> 00:01:56.665
So you couldn't have a big start like they can today.
00:01:56.665 --> 00:01:59.701
They can create a social media buzz
00:01:59.701 --> 00:02:01.136
And people will start off first service four or 500 people
00:02:01.136 --> 00:02:03.405
In this day and time, not then.
00:02:03.405 --> 00:02:05.741
Then it was word of mouth.
00:02:05.741 --> 00:02:07.176
And i'm gonna be starting a church.
00:02:07.176 --> 00:02:09.778
You know anybody in in greenville, south carolina?
00:02:09.778 --> 00:02:11.813
Yeah, i got a drunk cousin lives there.
00:02:11.813 --> 00:02:13.215
All right, write his name on this napkin.
00:02:13.215 --> 00:02:15.250
And you just go see him.
00:02:15.250 --> 00:02:17.219
And that's the way i started the church.
00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:19.321
Okay?
00:02:19.321 --> 00:02:20.689
And the first person i was sent to when i got there
00:02:20.689 --> 00:02:23.192
Was literally a drunk cousin.
00:02:23.192 --> 00:02:24.893
I thought he was kidding.
00:02:24.893 --> 00:02:26.728
But i pulled up and it was hank williams jr.
00:02:26.728 --> 00:02:28.830
Blasting through the yard.
00:02:28.830 --> 00:02:30.265
That's country music for those of you that don't know.
00:02:30.265 --> 00:02:32.501
And the guy came out with a 12 gauge shotgun
00:02:32.501 --> 00:02:34.703
Because another thing y'all don't know,
00:02:34.703 --> 00:02:36.438
The gun laws in the south
00:02:36.438 --> 00:02:37.839
Are a lot different than y'all's gun laws.
00:02:37.839 --> 00:02:40.309
And he came out with a 12 gauge, drunk outta his mind,
00:02:41.376 --> 00:02:43.545
Cocked that thing, put it right in my face.
00:02:43.545 --> 00:02:45.514
He said, sing.
00:02:45.514 --> 00:02:47.015
I said,
00:02:47.015 --> 00:02:48.350
♪ all my rowdy friends have settled down ♪
00:02:48.350 --> 00:02:51.153
(congregation laughs)
00:02:51.153 --> 00:02:53.188
First guy led the jesus,
00:02:53.188 --> 00:02:54.823
I had to sing hank williams jr. to get him saved.
00:02:54.823 --> 00:02:58.026
That was my first drummer.
00:02:58.026 --> 00:02:59.328
Hallelujah.
00:02:59.328 --> 00:03:00.596
(congregation applauds)
00:03:00.596 --> 00:03:03.098
And that's the way we started our church.
00:03:03.098 --> 00:03:05.701
Like that right there.
00:03:05.701 --> 00:03:07.536
Okay?
00:03:07.536 --> 00:03:08.904
And so we had people send us money like a mission.
00:03:08.904 --> 00:03:12.307
You know, people would send us $50,
00:03:12.307 --> 00:03:14.009
People send us $20.
00:03:14.009 --> 00:03:15.744
My first year's tax return,
00:03:15.744 --> 00:03:17.112
Our total household income was $8,600
00:03:17.112 --> 00:03:20.616
For the year.
00:03:20.983 --> 00:03:22.584
I don't even know how we lived off that, but we did. $8,600.
00:03:22.584 --> 00:03:24.686
So i said all that to say this.
00:03:24.686 --> 00:03:26.355
We had our first child, chase,
00:03:26.355 --> 00:03:28.423
And of course i don't have any insurance, okay?
00:03:28.423 --> 00:03:31.727
And we were actually a little bit at that time
00:03:32.628 --> 00:03:34.730
On some government assistance.
00:03:34.730 --> 00:03:36.098
How many of y'all ever had that government cheese?
00:03:36.098 --> 00:03:39.001
Oh y'all silicon valley people.
00:03:39.001 --> 00:03:40.335
Y'all don't know nothing about government cheese.
00:03:40.335 --> 00:03:42.337
Lemme tell you something about government cheese.
00:03:42.337 --> 00:03:43.705
I don't think it's cheese
00:03:43.705 --> 00:03:45.774
'cause it won't melt.
00:03:45.774 --> 00:03:47.609
You can put it in a microwave.
00:03:48.243 --> 00:03:49.745
When you get through, it's still there just looking at you
00:03:49.745 --> 00:03:51.980
Saying i survived.
00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:53.682
(congregation chuckles)
00:03:54.182 --> 00:04:01.823
So that's where we were.
00:04:02.324 --> 00:04:04.760
Hope's daddy warned her,
00:04:05.260 --> 00:04:07.229
Said if you marry that boy,
00:04:07.229 --> 00:04:08.363
You ain't never gonna have nothing.
00:04:08.363 --> 00:04:10.365
And i made him look like a prophet.
00:04:11.166 --> 00:04:19.775
And so we had a child, no insurance,
00:04:20.575 --> 00:04:22.244
And i left the hospital with a $13,000 bill.
00:04:22.244 --> 00:04:24.780
Well that was more
00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:26.014
Than my entire household income for a year.
00:04:26.014 --> 00:04:28.216
So i made some arrangement for like $25,
00:04:29.051 --> 00:04:31.720
And as long as you make this little payment,
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.288
You know we won't ruin your credit.
00:04:33.288 --> 00:04:34.790
And i did that for years
00:04:34.790 --> 00:04:37.826
And i had paid that $13,000 bill down to $3,000.
00:04:37.826 --> 00:04:42.264
I remember it 'cause it was a countdown.
00:04:42.264 --> 00:04:44.599
Okay, i was faithful to it.
00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:46.902
Now i'm gonna tell you there's another message
00:04:46.902 --> 00:04:49.104
I ain't got to yet.
00:04:49.104 --> 00:04:49.938
Favor finds the fateful.
00:04:49.938 --> 00:04:51.873
Okay?
00:04:51.873 --> 00:04:53.408
Favor tends to show up in people who have been faithful.
00:04:53.408 --> 00:04:56.445
So i was faithful to it but had a $3,000 bill,
00:04:56.445 --> 00:04:59.281
Which meant years were left
00:04:59.281 --> 00:05:02.584
Trying to pay for my kid.
00:05:02.584 --> 00:05:04.820
And so i'm sitting there
00:05:04.820 --> 00:05:06.621
And i've got an office.
00:05:06.621 --> 00:05:08.123
And that time i still took appointments with everybody
00:05:08.123 --> 00:05:09.758
'cause i didn't, you know when you ain't got by 40 members,
00:05:09.758 --> 00:05:11.593
You can meet anybody.
00:05:11.593 --> 00:05:13.061
And so i'm sitting there
00:05:13.061 --> 00:05:14.796
And i had this lady who volunteered
00:05:14.796 --> 00:05:17.165
A little bit of her day
00:05:17.165 --> 00:05:18.533
Just to come help me do some administrative work.
00:05:18.533 --> 00:05:20.102
And she said, there's a gentleman here to see you.
00:05:20.102 --> 00:05:22.137
I said, well of course let him on in.
00:05:22.137 --> 00:05:24.106
Gentleman came by there.
00:05:24.106 --> 00:05:25.006
I didn't know the man,
00:05:25.006 --> 00:05:26.108
Never seen the man,
00:05:26.108 --> 00:05:27.109
Never met the man,
00:05:27.109 --> 00:05:28.276
Have no relationship with the man.
00:05:28.276 --> 00:05:29.878
And he owned this,
00:05:29.878 --> 00:05:31.546
This kind of this statewide pesticide company,
00:05:31.546 --> 00:05:33.248
This pest control company.
00:05:33.248 --> 00:05:34.916
And i found out later this man had done very well.
00:05:34.916 --> 00:05:37.719
That was one of about eight companies he owned.
00:05:37.719 --> 00:05:40.021
And he was a very well to do businessman
00:05:40.021 --> 00:05:42.290
In the whole region.
00:05:42.290 --> 00:05:43.825
And he said, i don't even usually ride down this road
00:05:43.825 --> 00:05:47.095
'cause we were on a back road
00:05:47.095 --> 00:05:48.630
And all i had was a little wooden sign with paint on it.
00:05:48.630 --> 00:05:51.566
That's it.
00:05:51.566 --> 00:05:52.501
Said redemption and a arrow.
00:05:52.501 --> 00:05:54.936
That's it.
00:05:55.237 --> 00:05:56.571
And he came walking in there
00:05:57.172 --> 00:05:59.174
And he said, are you ron?
00:05:59.174 --> 00:06:02.043
I said, i am.
00:06:02.411 --> 00:06:03.311
Listen to what he said.
00:06:03.311 --> 00:06:04.980
He said, i'm supposed to see a guy named ron.
00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:08.083
He said, you have some kind of bill.
00:06:08.850 --> 00:06:12.487
He said, and it's $3,000.
00:06:13.054 --> 00:06:17.559
He said, i'm supposed to pay it.
00:06:18.193 --> 00:06:22.030
And that don't mean nothing to you.
00:06:22.831 --> 00:06:24.900
But $3,000 to me back then was about to equal to $3 million.
00:06:26.101 --> 00:06:32.240
And a guy i've never seen.
00:06:32.808 --> 00:06:35.310
I didn't pray for it.
00:06:35.310 --> 00:06:36.144
I didn't ask for it.
00:06:36.144 --> 00:06:37.012
I don't deserve it.
00:06:37.012 --> 00:06:38.580
I didn't cultivate it.
00:06:38.580 --> 00:06:39.781
I didn't share my bill with anybody.
00:06:39.781 --> 00:06:42.717
And a man that i don't know
00:06:43.318 --> 00:06:46.221
Comes to a building
00:06:46.221 --> 00:06:47.656
That if you come to our church you wanted to find it,
00:06:47.656 --> 00:06:50.725
Comes in there in a random part of the day,
00:06:51.626 --> 00:06:54.696
Asked if it's my name,
00:06:54.696 --> 00:06:56.598
Comes and says, you've got a bill.
00:06:56.598 --> 00:06:58.467
Told me the amount of it.
00:06:58.467 --> 00:07:00.268
And i said, don't make it out to me.
00:07:00.268 --> 00:07:02.170
Make it out to such and such hospital.
00:07:02.170 --> 00:07:04.873
And when he made that check outta that hospital,
00:07:04.873 --> 00:07:06.942
I beat him out of our church.
00:07:06.942 --> 00:07:09.511
I've sprinted to that hospital
00:07:09.511 --> 00:07:11.112
And i paid that bill with the biggest grin.
00:07:11.112 --> 00:07:14.149
And this woman said,
00:07:14.149 --> 00:07:15.784
I see on your account you've been paying for years.
00:07:15.784 --> 00:07:17.319
She said, what happened?
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:18.587
I said, the favor of god.
00:07:18.587 --> 00:07:20.222
Hallelujah.
00:07:20.222 --> 00:07:21.423
And i ran out of that building.
00:07:21.423 --> 00:07:23.091
Somebody's gotta know that god will show up in ways
00:07:23.091 --> 00:07:26.962
You didn't pray for, you didn't sow for.
00:07:26.962 --> 00:07:29.831
And he'll just come outta left field.
00:07:29.831 --> 00:07:32.033
He will give your name to somebody
00:07:32.033 --> 00:07:33.935
That don't even know your name.
00:07:33.935 --> 00:07:35.704
He'll give your problem to somebody
00:07:35.704 --> 00:07:37.439
That don't even know your problem.
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.341
You didn't even pray about it.
00:07:39.341 --> 00:07:40.876
You didn't even ask him for it.
00:07:40.876 --> 00:07:42.511
In his favor!
00:07:42.511 --> 00:07:45.113
Somebody shall favor!
00:07:45.614 --> 00:07:51.319
High five your neighbors say favors coming to your house.
00:07:52.454 --> 00:07:54.689
Come on favors coming to your house.
00:07:54.689 --> 00:07:56.825
Favors coming to your house.
00:07:56.825 --> 00:07:58.660
Hallelujah.
00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:08.303
I have hundreds of those stories.
00:08:09.037 --> 00:08:15.210
Hundreds.
00:08:15.510 --> 00:08:16.878
I cannot read a scripture
00:08:17.445 --> 00:08:18.847
And just come in here every sunday for 10 weeks
00:08:18.847 --> 00:08:20.782
And tell you favor stories.
00:08:20.782 --> 00:08:25.287
See?
00:08:25.487 --> 00:08:27.088
Okay, i'm outta my notes entirely now.
00:08:27.088 --> 00:08:31.860
That's why i act like i do.
00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:36.164
That's why some of y'all are scared
00:08:36.898 --> 00:08:38.567
To invite somebody to church
00:08:38.567 --> 00:08:39.935
'cause you don't know i'm going to act.
00:08:39.935 --> 00:08:42.237
(congregation chuckles)
00:08:42.237 --> 00:08:44.139
And you say sometime he's really refined in really cultured.
00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:46.942
And then the other times, oh god.
00:08:46.942 --> 00:08:50.779
But there was a man who built his house
00:08:51.646 --> 00:08:53.048
Upon the sand, jesus said.
00:08:53.048 --> 00:08:55.016
And there's a man who built his house upon the rock.
00:08:56.084 --> 00:08:59.287
And the bible says when the storm came
00:08:59.287 --> 00:09:01.056
That the man who built his house upon the sand,
00:09:01.056 --> 00:09:02.724
It washed away.
00:09:02.724 --> 00:09:03.925
But when the storm came,
00:09:03.925 --> 00:09:05.226
The man who built his house upon the rock,
00:09:05.226 --> 00:09:06.461
It stayed right where it was.
00:09:06.461 --> 00:09:08.129
And they said, what's the difference between the two?
00:09:08.129 --> 00:09:10.498
They said, the one on the sand
00:09:10.498 --> 00:09:12.233
Are the people that heard the word but didn't do the word.
00:09:12.233 --> 00:09:15.937
But the people with the rock,
00:09:15.937 --> 00:09:17.839
They're the ones that heard the word
00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:19.507
And then they experienced the word.
00:09:19.507 --> 00:09:21.876
See, the reason i act like i do is
00:09:21.876 --> 00:09:24.212
Because i'm not giving you something i read out of a book.
00:09:24.212 --> 00:09:27.682
I have lived.
00:09:27.682 --> 00:09:29.718
I have experienced.
00:09:29.718 --> 00:09:30.652
I have had so many miracles.
00:09:30.652 --> 00:09:32.220
I've seen god do too much.
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:33.955
So i can't come in here and just talk about it.
00:09:33.955 --> 00:09:36.057
I gotta sweat and run and jump a little bit.
00:09:36.057 --> 00:09:38.827
Why?
00:09:38.827 --> 00:09:40.328
Because my house is built upon the rock.
00:09:40.328 --> 00:09:42.364
Because i didn't just hear it.
00:09:42.364 --> 00:09:44.633
I experienced it.
00:09:44.633 --> 00:09:45.600
And you can't talk me out of it
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.002
And you can't talk me out of it
00:09:47.002 --> 00:09:48.470
And don't hand me no book that says it don't work
00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:50.872
Because i don't believe the book.
00:09:50.872 --> 00:09:52.540
I have already lived it.
00:09:52.540 --> 00:09:54.142
Somebody shout, amen.
00:09:54.142 --> 00:09:56.311
(uplifting music)
00:09:56.311 --> 00:09:59.447
Jesus, jesus, jesus, help me preach this thing.
00:09:59.447 --> 00:10:02.317
How many of you believe favors come into your house?
00:10:02.317 --> 00:10:04.919
I speak it in jesus name,
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:06.888
Right outta left field, unexpected.
00:10:06.888 --> 00:10:09.491
Didn't see it coming.
00:10:09.491 --> 00:10:11.092
Can't wait to tell somebody what god did.
00:10:11.092 --> 00:10:13.662
God let it happen to everybody under the sound of my voice.
00:10:13.662 --> 00:10:17.432
In jesus' name.
00:10:17.432 --> 00:10:18.600
I'm sorry, i'm trying to talk about it
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.935
But i can't hold it in.
00:10:20.935 --> 00:10:22.203
Favor has come to this house.
00:10:22.203 --> 00:10:26.307
Yeah.
00:10:26.541 --> 00:10:30.445
Y'all stop.
00:10:30.445 --> 00:10:32.847
(soft music)
00:10:32.847 --> 00:11:02.811
(tense music)
00:11:03.178 --> 00:11:05.613
Favor is not just the way you meet god.
00:11:05.613 --> 00:11:08.216
Favor is your entire benefit package with god.
00:11:08.216 --> 00:11:15.957
When god gets you a word,
00:11:16.524 --> 00:11:17.959
Very rarely does he give you details.
00:11:17.959 --> 00:11:20.128
He just starts giving you a framework
00:11:20.128 --> 00:11:22.097
Of how it's gonna take.
00:11:22.097 --> 00:11:23.331
So he'll take a ron and hope carpenter
00:11:23.331 --> 00:11:25.600
Who got a little warehouse
00:11:26.167 --> 00:11:27.669
And he let a prophetic word come through someone to us
00:11:27.669 --> 00:11:29.804
And said, i'm gonna take y'all one day
00:11:29.804 --> 00:11:32.040
And i'm going to give you a voice
00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:34.242
And let redemption speak to the nations.
00:11:34.242 --> 00:11:35.577
I don't know what that looks like.
00:11:35.577 --> 00:11:37.212
I don't know about san jose.
00:11:37.212 --> 00:11:39.581
I don't know about tv network.
00:11:39.581 --> 00:11:40.482
I don't know what
00:11:40.482 --> 00:11:42.117
"you're gonna speak to the nations" even mean.
00:11:42.117 --> 00:11:44.586
Can i be (mumbles)?
00:11:44.586 --> 00:11:47.789

- what a privilege it is to have a few minutes
00:12:03.905 --> 00:12:05.840
To be able to bring the word of god you today.
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.408
I hope you're enjoying the telecast.
00:12:07.408 --> 00:12:08.977
For those of you who may be watching and you're new,
00:12:08.977 --> 00:12:12.714
So good to have you.
00:12:12.714 --> 00:12:13.982
Hopefully we can make an investment in your life
00:12:13.982 --> 00:12:16.484
That'll last long after these telecasts are over with.
00:12:16.484 --> 00:12:19.254
Thank you so much for being a part.
00:12:19.254 --> 00:12:21.656
This is a time where we just stop in the middle
00:12:21.656 --> 00:12:23.525
And we just let you know
00:12:23.525 --> 00:12:24.926
That we are viewer supported,
00:12:24.926 --> 00:12:27.328
That we are listeners supported.
00:12:27.328 --> 00:12:29.531
Notice that at no time did we stop
00:12:29.531 --> 00:12:32.100
And try to sell you any ads or try to have any commercials
00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:35.136
Because we just believe
00:12:35.136 --> 00:12:36.938
That the message of the kingdom,
00:12:36.938 --> 00:12:38.940
The message of jesus and his kingdom
00:12:38.940 --> 00:12:40.108
Is the greatest message in the world.
00:12:40.108 --> 00:12:43.211
And we've gotta be a light in a dark place.
00:12:43.211 --> 00:12:45.146
We've gotta be a city set on a hill
00:12:45.146 --> 00:12:46.881
And we've got to be,
00:12:46.881 --> 00:12:48.349
We've gotta be that voice,
00:12:48.349 --> 00:12:49.918
Salt of the earth that changes everywhere we're sprinkled.
00:12:49.918 --> 00:12:52.954
Wherever this message goes, we believe it can bring change.
00:12:52.954 --> 00:12:55.657
Would you help us?
00:12:55.657 --> 00:12:58.126
We basically have two ways we do that.
00:12:56.858 --> 00:12:59.460
Maybe a one time gift
00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:01.095
Or maybe you'd like to become a monthly partner,
00:13:01.095 --> 00:13:03.231
A covenant partner,
00:13:03.231 --> 00:13:04.532
Which we correspond with you on a monthly basis
00:13:04.532 --> 00:13:06.634
And let you know everything that's going on here
00:13:06.634 --> 00:13:08.937
At ron carpenter television.
00:13:08.937 --> 00:13:10.305
We've had so many people help us get to this place
00:13:10.305 --> 00:13:13.174
Since 1998 and now we're happy that we're able to reach you.
00:13:13.174 --> 00:13:17.412
Would you help us reach others so we do this?
00:13:17.412 --> 00:13:19.814
For your first time gift, whatever it may be,
00:13:19.814 --> 00:13:21.883
If you're first time giver,
00:13:21.883 --> 00:13:23.284
We have this gift that we want to give you
00:13:23.284 --> 00:13:24.953
To say thank you for believing in us
00:13:24.953 --> 00:13:27.488
As we do everything we can,
00:13:27.488 --> 00:13:29.524
Not only just to reach hundreds of nations of the world,
00:13:29.524 --> 00:13:33.494
But to try to get as many as we can into their own language.
00:13:33.494 --> 00:13:36.664
That is our endeavor to do.
00:13:36.664 --> 00:13:38.299
So help us today.
00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:39.567
Whatever it is god lays on your heart to do,
00:13:39.567 --> 00:13:41.069
We know that this is the rule that god said.
00:13:41.069 --> 00:13:43.972
He is not mocked.
00:13:43.972 --> 00:13:45.740
Whatever a man sows that shall he reap.
00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:48.276
Thank you for helping us out.
00:13:48.276 --> 00:13:49.344
Now let's get back to the word.
00:13:49.344 --> 00:13:51.746
Let me talk to you about some of the ways favor manifests.
00:13:52.914 --> 00:13:55.483
Lemme give you two ways.
00:13:55.483 --> 00:13:57.151
Gimme about five or six minutes a piece.
00:13:57.151 --> 00:13:58.653
Two ways favor manifest.
00:13:58.653 --> 00:14:00.722
And i'm gonna try not to go crazy again.
00:14:00.722 --> 00:14:04.926
Number one favor can manifest itself
00:14:05.693 --> 00:14:08.730
As divine assistance.
00:14:09.230 --> 00:14:13.001
God showing up as help
00:14:13.501 --> 00:14:16.704
That you need
00:14:17.071 --> 00:14:18.840
That you didn't have.
00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:22.243
Exodus.
00:14:22.477 --> 00:14:26.981
God has just pulled israel out of egypt
00:14:27.849 --> 00:14:30.218
And they've been slaves for four and a half centuries.
00:14:30.218 --> 00:14:33.655
I think sometime when people read the bible,
00:14:34.589 --> 00:14:36.491
They don't stop to really realize the brevity
00:14:36.491 --> 00:14:39.127
Of what's going on.
00:14:39.127 --> 00:14:41.229
These people
00:14:41.562 --> 00:14:43.231
Have been removed from slavery, but they're in sand.
00:14:43.231 --> 00:14:48.703
Theologians say,
00:14:49.070 --> 00:14:50.071
And the bible doesn't say,
00:14:50.071 --> 00:14:52.073
People who've studied other manuscripts
00:14:52.073 --> 00:14:53.708
Say as many as three and a half million people in sand.
00:14:53.708 --> 00:14:56.244
You can't grow anything in sand.
00:14:56.244 --> 00:14:58.846
They are literally, god is their sustenance.
00:14:59.747 --> 00:15:04.519
They're cold at night.
00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:06.287
He's a pillar of fire to keep 'em warm.
00:15:06.287 --> 00:15:09.157
He keeps a whole nation warm
00:15:09.157 --> 00:15:10.458
With a pillar of fire burning in the sky.
00:15:10.458 --> 00:15:12.961
They get hot during the day.
00:15:13.561 --> 00:15:14.696
The sun is beating them.
00:15:14.696 --> 00:15:15.830
He becomes a pillar of cloud by day.
00:15:15.830 --> 00:15:18.700
They need water to drink.
00:15:19.267 --> 00:15:20.401
God lets water come out of a rock
00:15:20.401 --> 00:15:22.203
That the whole nation drinks from.
00:15:22.203 --> 00:15:25.473
They're hungry.
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:27.008
Man is on the ground in the morning
00:15:27.008 --> 00:15:28.509
And quail are flying low.
00:15:28.509 --> 00:15:32.280
They have no moral system.
00:15:32.847 --> 00:15:34.682
God had to give them 10 commandments.
00:15:34.682 --> 00:15:36.184
They don't know right from wrong.
00:15:36.184 --> 00:15:37.785
They have no moral code.
00:15:37.785 --> 00:15:39.921
They have no judicial system.
00:15:40.555 --> 00:15:41.990
They have no law enforcement system.
00:15:41.990 --> 00:15:43.825
They have no political system.
00:15:43.825 --> 00:15:45.927
They have no election system.
00:15:45.927 --> 00:15:47.028
They have no, they have no nothing.
00:15:47.028 --> 00:15:49.297
And they're vulnerable because at least in egypt,
00:15:50.298 --> 00:15:54.936
They would've been taken care of.
00:15:54.936 --> 00:15:57.071
If someone would've ever attacked them,
00:15:57.939 --> 00:16:00.041
They had pharaoh's military machine.
00:16:00.041 --> 00:16:01.976
Now they have nothing.
00:16:01.976 --> 00:16:04.078
So they're scared.
00:16:04.512 --> 00:16:05.780
And look what god tells 'em.
00:16:05.780 --> 00:16:07.682
Behold, i'm gonna send an angel
00:16:07.682 --> 00:16:09.984
Before you to keep you in the way
00:16:10.718 --> 00:16:12.787
And to bring you to the place which i have prepared.
00:16:12.787 --> 00:16:16.124
Remember, the place is already prepared.
00:16:16.124 --> 00:16:19.027
Beware of him and obey his voice.
00:16:19.761 --> 00:16:21.562
Do not provoke him
00:16:21.562 --> 00:16:22.864
For he will not pardon your transgressions
00:16:22.864 --> 00:16:24.298
For my name is in him.
00:16:24.298 --> 00:16:27.101
But if you indeed obey his voice and do all that i speak,
00:16:27.101 --> 00:16:31.172
Then i will be an enemy to your enemy.
00:16:31.172 --> 00:16:34.475
And i will be an adversary to your adversaries.
00:16:35.443 --> 00:16:38.946
For my angel will go before you
00:16:38.946 --> 00:16:41.149
And bring you into the amorites, hittites,
00:16:41.149 --> 00:16:44.185
Perizzites, canaanites, hivites,
00:16:44.185 --> 00:16:46.487
Jebusites and all the ite family.
00:16:46.487 --> 00:16:49.590
I will cut them off.
00:16:50.058 --> 00:16:56.264
You can't do this for yourself.
00:16:56.898 --> 00:17:00.101
But what was god's initial relationship
00:17:00.935 --> 00:17:04.238
With israel started out of?
00:17:04.238 --> 00:17:06.674
Favor.
00:17:06.674 --> 00:17:07.842
I think that's why so many nations hate them to this day
00:17:08.976 --> 00:17:12.246
Because the whole thing started out of favor.
00:17:13.181 --> 00:17:15.950
The favor started with a covenant
00:17:15.950 --> 00:17:17.985
That god made with a moon worshiper named abraham
00:17:17.985 --> 00:17:20.822
Because there were no organic people
00:17:20.822 --> 00:17:23.191
That were hebrews or israelites.
00:17:23.191 --> 00:17:25.059
God made this nation through a covenant.
00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:27.662
God almighty.
00:17:27.662 --> 00:17:28.930
And then after he brought them out by his favor,
00:17:29.897 --> 00:17:32.800
Then he said, i'm going to divinely assist you.
00:17:32.800 --> 00:17:35.903
You have no way of defending yourself.
00:17:35.903 --> 00:17:38.206
Everybody knows you're vulnerable.
00:17:38.206 --> 00:17:40.208
They would like to come and plunder you
00:17:40.208 --> 00:17:42.043
And everything that you have.
00:17:42.043 --> 00:17:43.778
But i want you to know something.
00:17:43.778 --> 00:17:45.213
If they're your enemy, i'm gonna be their enemy.
00:17:45.213 --> 00:17:47.849
And if they're your adversary,
00:17:47.849 --> 00:17:49.217
I'm gonna be their adversary.
00:17:49.217 --> 00:17:51.018
And i'm gonna totally cut them off.
00:17:51.018 --> 00:17:53.187
In other words, i hear something prophetically,
00:17:53.187 --> 00:17:55.823
Can i just say it?
00:17:55.823 --> 00:17:57.225
I just hear, i just feel like maybe in my prayer time
00:17:57.225 --> 00:17:59.861
I was even praying about this,
00:17:59.861 --> 00:18:01.362
That there's a stream that's been opened to your house
00:18:01.362 --> 00:18:04.632
Or a stream that's been opened
00:18:04.632 --> 00:18:06.434
That your enemy has had access to.
00:18:06.434 --> 00:18:08.002
And now it's even affecting your kids
00:18:08.002 --> 00:18:10.171
And those in the next generation.
00:18:10.171 --> 00:18:12.206
But god said that this is what i'm gonna do.
00:18:12.206 --> 00:18:14.575
I'm gonna be an enemy to the thing that's an enemy to you.
00:18:14.575 --> 00:18:17.612
And i'm gonna cut this thing off in your life
00:18:17.612 --> 00:18:20.781
And i'm gonna put lines of separation
00:18:20.781 --> 00:18:23.317
Between you and the thing that's trying to get ahold of you
00:18:23.317 --> 00:18:26.687
And this enemy you have seen,
00:18:26.687 --> 00:18:28.489
Woo, you shall see no more.
00:18:28.489 --> 00:18:31.192
I need to pray.
00:18:31.192 --> 00:18:33.528
How many of you right now say there's been a stream
00:18:34.595 --> 00:18:36.297
In my house and it's trying to attack my house
00:18:36.297 --> 00:18:39.267
And it's been a multi-generational attack?
00:18:39.267 --> 00:18:41.569
I come against that right now in the name of jesus.
00:18:41.569 --> 00:18:43.804
And i thank you god, that you are an enemy to that enemy.
00:18:43.804 --> 00:18:47.408
And i thank you that you are an adversary to that enemy.
00:18:47.408 --> 00:18:50.945
If it's debt, you shall cut the debt off.
00:18:50.945 --> 00:18:52.914
If it's legal problems,
00:18:52.914 --> 00:18:54.215
You shall cut the legal problems off.
00:18:54.215 --> 00:18:56.350
If it's distractions, you will cut it off.
00:18:56.350 --> 00:18:58.753
If it's substance abuse or perversion,
00:18:58.753 --> 00:19:01.155
You shall cut it off.
00:19:01.155 --> 00:19:02.423
And i thank you that right now the stream
00:19:02.423 --> 00:19:04.692
Has lost its access.
00:19:04.692 --> 00:19:06.260
Every door has been closed,
00:19:06.260 --> 00:19:08.129
Every window has been closed.
00:19:08.129 --> 00:19:10.097
And this enemy they have wrestled with,
00:19:10.097 --> 00:19:12.500
They will fight no more in the name of jesus.
00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:16.070
And if you believe in shout "hallelujah".
00:19:16.070 --> 00:19:18.906
(congregation shouting)
00:19:18.906 --> 00:19:21.876
High five of your neighbors,
00:19:21.876 --> 00:19:22.810
Say god took care of this enemy.
00:19:22.810 --> 00:19:24.245
God took care of it.
00:19:24.245 --> 00:19:25.880
Divine assistance.
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.750
I'm gonna have to drink some red bulls
00:19:30.551 --> 00:19:33.487
Before this favor thing's over with.
00:19:33.487 --> 00:19:43.497
God will give you favor
00:19:43.998 --> 00:19:47.335
And calls you to function
00:19:47.902 --> 00:19:50.371
In an area where you have no prior experience.
00:19:51.339 --> 00:20:01.682
And the lord was sorry that he had made man,
00:20:02.617 --> 00:20:04.518
This is the account of the flood.
00:20:04.518 --> 00:20:06.454
He was grieving in his heart.
00:20:07.088 --> 00:20:09.056
The lord said, i'll destroy man
00:20:09.690 --> 00:20:11.025
Whom i've created from the face of the earth.
00:20:11.025 --> 00:20:12.627
Both man beasts, creeping thing and birds of the air
00:20:12.627 --> 00:20:15.263
For i'm sorry that i've made them.
00:20:15.263 --> 00:20:17.298
But noah found, and the niv says, favor.
00:20:18.165 --> 00:20:22.403
I could preach on favor also gives you divine exemption.
00:20:23.537 --> 00:20:28.309
I'm gonna destroy everything but you.
00:20:29.110 --> 00:20:36.917
Favor brings divine exemption.
00:20:37.551 --> 00:20:39.387
Favor brings divine assistance.
00:20:39.387 --> 00:20:41.122
But now look,
00:20:41.122 --> 00:20:42.857
Here again, don't read the bible like a storybook.
00:20:43.891 --> 00:20:48.262
That's the only thing that maybe i have a,
00:20:49.163 --> 00:20:51.832
A challenge to the read the bible in a year.
00:20:51.832 --> 00:20:53.334
Read it real quick.
00:20:53.334 --> 00:20:54.435
I don't,
00:20:54.435 --> 00:20:55.703
I probably haven't read the bible through,
00:20:55.703 --> 00:20:57.305
But a handful of times.
00:20:57.305 --> 00:20:58.406
I study the bible.
00:20:58.406 --> 00:21:01.309
I have read one phrase
00:21:01.809 --> 00:21:03.444
And close my bible and meditated on that phrase all day
00:21:03.444 --> 00:21:07.815
'cause i want it in me.
00:21:08.316 --> 00:21:09.984
I don't want, i don't wanna just have knowledge of it.
00:21:09.984 --> 00:21:11.419
I want it in me.
00:21:11.419 --> 00:21:17.758
The bible doesn't say a lot about his occupation,
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.362
But we know the bible says he was a family man.
00:21:21.362 --> 00:21:23.230
He was a just man.
00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:24.231
And we know that he was a farmer.
00:21:24.231 --> 00:21:26.267
Agriculture.
00:21:26.267 --> 00:21:27.435
So god shows up and says it's about to rain.
00:21:28.336 --> 00:21:31.038
Read your bible.
00:21:31.038 --> 00:21:31.972
It had never rained before.
00:21:31.972 --> 00:21:34.008
It's about to rain.
00:21:34.475 --> 00:21:35.543
What's rain?
00:21:35.543 --> 00:21:40.214
The only thing that had happened up that time
00:21:41.148 --> 00:21:42.950
Was genesis chapter one
00:21:42.950 --> 00:21:44.185
Where it says god had caused the mist
00:21:44.185 --> 00:21:45.586
To come up from the earth,
00:21:45.586 --> 00:21:47.888
But it had never rained.
00:21:48.389 --> 00:21:50.558
And because it's gonna rain, i want you to build an arc.
00:21:51.692 --> 00:21:54.161
What's an arc?
00:21:54.161 --> 00:21:57.865
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:21:58.499 --> 00:21:59.467
I'm in agriculture.
00:21:59.467 --> 00:22:00.701
I'm not in construction.
00:22:00.701 --> 00:22:04.205
I'm especially not in marine construction
00:22:05.106 --> 00:22:08.609
Where you gotta build it in such a way it doesn't leak.
00:22:08.609 --> 00:22:14.715
But god never lets your past self
00:22:15.449 --> 00:22:19.387
Dictate your future self.
00:22:19.387 --> 00:22:22.423
Now this, this may not seem very deep,
00:22:23.257 --> 00:22:25.893
But i'm, i'm gonna hit, i'm gonna hit you with this thing.
00:22:25.893 --> 00:22:30.331
The favor of god will come on you
00:22:30.998 --> 00:22:35.002
And call you into something
00:22:35.603 --> 00:22:37.671
With which you have no point of reference.
00:22:37.671 --> 00:22:43.411
What do you mean by that, pastor?
00:22:44.078 --> 00:22:46.414
My faith easily embraces
00:22:46.414 --> 00:22:48.816
What my eyes have seen happen before.
00:22:48.816 --> 00:22:52.553
So the doctor can tell me, you know,
00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:55.456
You have this issue going on in your body
00:22:55.456 --> 00:22:57.725
And my brother can come up and tell me,
00:22:57.725 --> 00:22:59.427
You know, god, three years ago,
00:22:59.427 --> 00:23:00.761
God divinely healed me from that.
00:23:00.761 --> 00:23:02.096
Okay, when i hear that point of reference,
00:23:02.096 --> 00:23:05.132
When i know god did it in him,
00:23:05.766 --> 00:23:07.468
My faith easily leaps
00:23:07.468 --> 00:23:10.304
And says, well, if god did it for my brother,
00:23:10.304 --> 00:23:13.474
He can do this for me.
00:23:13.974 --> 00:23:15.843
But what about when god calls you into something
00:23:16.811 --> 00:23:19.513
That's never been done before?
00:23:19.513 --> 00:23:28.989
Can you have faith
00:23:29.423 --> 00:23:31.659
For something that he's told you to do
00:23:32.493 --> 00:23:36.297
But you have nobody to talk to,
00:23:36.931 --> 00:23:39.633
You have nobody to interview,
00:23:40.267 --> 00:23:42.770
You have no mentor?
00:23:43.237 --> 00:23:45.039
It's quiet in this building, right?
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.108
It's kinda like
00:23:48.476 --> 00:23:51.912
A southern preacher
00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:54.715
Being called to the bay area.
00:23:54.715 --> 00:24:00.154
(congregation applauds)
00:24:00.654 --> 00:24:04.391
It's never been.
00:24:04.391 --> 00:24:06.260
And i got a myriad of texts from people who love me,
00:24:07.328 --> 00:24:10.798
Not haters, love me.
00:24:10.798 --> 00:24:12.500
Who said, ron, man, you making a mistake.
00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:14.602
Your kind
00:24:14.602 --> 00:24:16.437
Don't fit there.
00:24:16.804 --> 00:24:19.840
They like laid back.
00:24:20.307 --> 00:24:22.042
They like, they like you.
00:24:22.042 --> 00:24:24.178
You going up there with where all the hippies used to be,
00:24:24.178 --> 00:24:26.680
Pastor, they want it.
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.982
And you're so sweaty and intense and loud.
00:24:27.982 --> 00:24:38.993
Our east coast campus
00:24:39.493 --> 00:24:41.495
Went there
00:24:41.795 --> 00:24:43.230
And said, you know what?
00:24:43.731 --> 00:24:44.965
I wanna pastor a multicultural church.
00:24:44.965 --> 00:24:48.435
There are no multicultural churches here.
00:24:49.303 --> 00:24:51.906
That's why i'm here.
00:24:51.906 --> 00:24:54.542
How do you think you can?
00:24:55.109 --> 00:24:56.477
And so then when it starts breaking through,
00:24:56.477 --> 00:25:00.047
You know what everybody wants me to do,
00:25:00.047 --> 00:25:01.448
Come tell us how you did that.
00:25:01.448 --> 00:25:04.818
I said, it ain't something you do.
00:25:05.586 --> 00:25:09.390
God has to give you favor
00:25:09.957 --> 00:25:13.193
With a city
00:25:13.527 --> 00:25:15.129
And with different cultures
00:25:15.129 --> 00:25:16.430
And different people groups
00:25:16.430 --> 00:25:18.432
To be able to do that.
00:25:18.933 --> 00:25:20.200
So they wanted me to come give their formula.
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:23.137
And if i would've gave them my formula,
00:25:23.137 --> 00:25:24.939
God could have very well took it away from me
00:25:24.939 --> 00:25:27.374
Because it was not mine.
00:25:27.374 --> 00:25:29.376
It was favor's formula.
00:25:29.376 --> 00:25:30.945
Hallelujah.
00:25:30.945 --> 00:25:32.313
And so god did something that i can't explain
00:25:32.313 --> 00:25:35.015
And i had no point of reference for.
00:25:35.015 --> 00:25:37.051
And then i think that i've done everything
00:25:37.051 --> 00:25:39.186
God wants me to do with no point of reference.
00:25:39.186 --> 00:25:40.821
And then he just kinda starts all over again
00:25:40.821 --> 00:25:43.223
And says, you know what?
00:25:43.223 --> 00:25:44.625
I'm gonna show you something that you've never seen.
00:25:44.625 --> 00:25:46.827
And by the way, nobody else thinks can be done.
00:25:46.827 --> 00:25:51.465
I'd like to just take a minute and ask you,
00:25:52.399 --> 00:25:53.867
Do you know jesus as your personal lord and savior?
00:25:53.867 --> 00:25:56.737
I'm not talking about,
00:25:56.737 --> 00:25:58.339
Do you remember grandmamma praying?
00:25:58.339 --> 00:26:00.007
I'm not talking about,
00:26:00.007 --> 00:26:01.742
Do you remember an old bible your dad used to read?
00:26:01.742 --> 00:26:03.143
That's not what i'm talking about.
00:26:03.143 --> 00:26:05.012
Do you know him?
00:26:05.012 --> 00:26:06.547
Who do you say that he is?
00:26:07.114 --> 00:26:08.582
Jesus asked that question to his disciples at large,
00:26:08.582 --> 00:26:11.485
Who do men say that i am?
00:26:11.485 --> 00:26:12.786
And they had all kind of responses,
00:26:12.786 --> 00:26:14.955
But then he made it personal.
00:26:14.955 --> 00:26:16.156
I said, but who do you say that i am?
00:26:16.156 --> 00:26:17.591
I'm asking you today, who's jesus to you?
00:26:17.591 --> 00:26:19.893
He would like to come and live in your heart by faith
00:26:19.893 --> 00:26:23.097
To be your lord and savior
00:26:23.097 --> 00:26:24.965
And be a friend that sticks closer to the brother.
00:26:24.965 --> 00:26:27.701
And every time you call on his name,
00:26:27.701 --> 00:26:29.169
He hears and he answers.
00:26:29.169 --> 00:26:30.304
Would you accept him today?
00:26:30.304 --> 00:26:31.672
The prayer goes like this.
00:26:31.672 --> 00:26:32.806
I thank you lord jesus,
00:26:32.806 --> 00:26:34.475
For your grace and your mercy.
00:26:35.109 --> 00:26:37.211
I ask you today to come into my heart,
00:26:37.211 --> 00:26:39.880
Ask you to wash me and cleanse me.
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:41.448
Forgive me of my sins.
00:26:41.448 --> 00:26:43.350
I believe you died and rose on the third day
00:26:43.350 --> 00:26:45.452
For my salvation.
00:26:45.452 --> 00:26:47.221
I accept that gift of salvation today
00:26:47.221 --> 00:26:50.257
And i ask you to live in me, to be my lord and savior
00:26:50.257 --> 00:26:53.027
In this moment forward.
00:26:53.527 --> 00:26:55.162
Thank you, lord.
00:26:55.162 --> 00:26:56.363
Jesus name, amen.
00:26:56.363 --> 00:26:58.499
