Ron Carpenter | Ron Carpenter - You vs You (Part 6) | June 17, 2026

(bright upbeat music)
00:00:00.492 --> 00:00:15.074
- you know, it's been said many times by others,
00:00:16.075 --> 00:00:17.976
And i know that i've repeated it myself.
00:00:17.976 --> 00:00:19.478
God lets us live life on levels,
00:00:19.478 --> 00:00:22.381
But he carries us through seasons.
00:00:22.381 --> 00:00:24.283
Can i repeat that?
00:00:24.283 --> 00:00:25.217
He lets us live life on levels,
00:00:25.217 --> 00:00:27.486
But he carries us through seasons.
00:00:27.486 --> 00:00:29.021
Ecclesiastes even says
00:00:29.021 --> 00:00:30.355
To everything there's a season, everything.
00:00:30.355 --> 00:00:32.925
Everything has seasons, no thing,
00:00:32.925 --> 00:00:35.461
No one remains in the same season forever.
00:00:35.461 --> 00:00:39.398
I'm ron carpenter, i wanna welcome you
00:00:39.398 --> 00:00:40.966
To ron carpenter television.
00:00:40.966 --> 00:00:42.601
And, as you know, we've been going through
00:00:42.601 --> 00:00:43.836
The book of ruth basically all year,
00:00:43.836 --> 00:00:46.071
But now we've taken this series, "you versus you",
00:00:46.071 --> 00:00:48.273
Where we compare and contrast, "who am i really?
00:00:48.273 --> 00:00:51.977
What does god want me to be,
00:00:51.977 --> 00:00:54.079
And how much room is there in between?"
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.048
I believe this series is gonna help you
00:00:56.048 --> 00:00:57.483
Make up the difference
00:00:57.483 --> 00:00:58.951
Between where you are and what god intended,
00:00:58.951 --> 00:01:01.120
Because that's always where the battle is,
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:03.055
That's always where the warfare is,
00:01:03.055 --> 00:01:04.623
Where i am and what god wants.
00:01:04.623 --> 00:01:06.225
The end is a fight, and it's the fight of faith.
00:01:06.225 --> 00:01:08.727
We're gonna help you with that fight today.
00:01:08.727 --> 00:01:10.596
So i want you to just tune in,
00:01:10.596 --> 00:01:11.864
I want you to give you full attention.
00:01:11.864 --> 00:01:13.332
I believe god wants to do something in your life.
00:01:13.332 --> 00:01:15.467
Let's go now to "you verses you."
00:01:15.467 --> 00:01:18.403
Ruth 2:12, "the lord repay you."
00:01:18.403 --> 00:01:22.141
And that's what he said. "i've heard,
00:01:22.141 --> 00:01:24.543
Now the lord repay you, and a full reward be given to you
00:01:24.543 --> 00:01:27.846
From the lord god of israel
00:01:27.846 --> 00:01:29.181
Under whose wings you have come for refuge."
00:01:29.181 --> 00:01:31.850
Then she said, "let me find favor in your sight,
00:01:32.818 --> 00:01:35.821
My lord, for you've comforted me
00:01:35.821 --> 00:01:37.089
And spoken kindly to your maid servant,
00:01:37.089 --> 00:01:39.725
Though i'm not like one of your maid servants.
00:01:39.725 --> 00:01:42.761
Now, boaz said to her at mealtime,
00:01:42.761 --> 00:01:44.897
'come here, and eat the bread
00:01:44.897 --> 00:01:48.634
And dip your piece of bread in the vinegar,'
00:01:49.568 --> 00:01:51.837
And passed parch grain to her."
00:01:51.837 --> 00:01:53.472
Now listen, what was she when we first found her?
00:01:53.472 --> 00:01:58.277
She was a beggar.
00:01:58.277 --> 00:01:59.978
She's no longer behind the reapers, where's she at now?
00:01:59.978 --> 00:02:02.881
She's sitting with them.
00:02:02.881 --> 00:02:04.950
She was trying to eat enough to survive.
00:02:05.817 --> 00:02:08.587
Let's look at what's done happen.
00:02:08.587 --> 00:02:10.422
"she ate, she was satisfied, and she kept some back."
00:02:10.422 --> 00:02:16.094
Somebody say, "more than enough."
00:02:16.862 --> 00:02:19.431
Lord, bless your word in jesus' name
00:02:19.431 --> 00:02:21.200
And everyone said amen (clears throat) and amen.
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:25.337
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:02:25.337 --> 00:02:29.141
When i named this "you versus you" i did it for a reason,
00:02:30.309 --> 00:02:33.111
Because i don't mean this as in dual personalities
00:02:33.111 --> 00:02:36.648
Or schizophrenia, or bipolar.
00:02:36.648 --> 00:02:39.785
There is the us that life circumstances has brought us to
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.258
And then there's the thing that god put in your heart.
00:02:47.359 --> 00:02:52.064
People think that they come to jesus
00:02:52.831 --> 00:02:55.033
And the frustrations end.
00:02:55.033 --> 00:02:57.903
And i say this in the right way, gimme time to explain it.
00:02:59.071 --> 00:03:02.441
I had never been more frustrated
00:03:02.441 --> 00:03:04.276
Until after i accepted jesus.
00:03:04.276 --> 00:03:06.645
(congregation mumbling)
00:03:06.645 --> 00:03:08.647
Because now i realize there's the ron
00:03:08.647 --> 00:03:13.552
That all these bad decisions have created
00:03:13.552 --> 00:03:16.788
And then there's this ron that jesus introduced me to,
00:03:17.856 --> 00:03:21.660
Who he's already put inside of me,
00:03:22.427 --> 00:03:24.830
Hey catch this, and was there all along.
00:03:24.830 --> 00:03:28.433
(congregation mumbling)
00:03:28.433 --> 00:03:31.737
The bible goes on to tell us
00:03:31.737 --> 00:03:33.839
That god has hidden our life inside of us,
00:03:33.839 --> 00:03:37.175
He's put eternity in our hearts.
00:03:37.809 --> 00:03:40.445
And so if we understand that everything god wants to do
00:03:41.546 --> 00:03:46.818
He's already put it inside of you,
00:03:47.586 --> 00:03:49.521
A preacher's preaching has to change,
00:03:49.521 --> 00:03:51.923
And our perspective has to change, okay.
00:03:51.923 --> 00:03:55.160
So if eternity is in my heart
00:03:55.160 --> 00:03:57.296
And god has already placed all my potential inside of me,
00:03:57.296 --> 00:04:00.999
Then my preaching has got to change its direction.
00:04:00.999 --> 00:04:05.304
Instead of a preacher trying to cram something in you,
00:04:05.304 --> 00:04:10.309
I really need to be...
00:04:10.809 --> 00:04:12.978
(congregation mumbling and clapping)
00:04:12.978 --> 00:04:17.215
Pulling stuff out of you.
00:04:17.215 --> 00:04:19.418
(congregation mumbling)
00:04:19.418 --> 00:04:22.087
It's already there.
00:04:22.087 --> 00:04:25.357
It takes the right voices, the right environments,
00:04:26.391 --> 00:04:28.827
The right people, the right repetition,
00:04:28.827 --> 00:04:31.697
The right skills, the right practice,
00:04:31.697 --> 00:04:33.565
The right diligence, the right attitude,
00:04:33.565 --> 00:04:35.634
I could go on and on, to pull it out.
00:04:35.634 --> 00:04:39.471
But it's already there.
00:04:39.471 --> 00:04:41.039
When god wants to do something in your life,
00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:43.175
He does not move it from the outside in.
00:04:43.175 --> 00:04:46.411
(congregation mumbling)
00:04:46.411 --> 00:04:48.747
If you're going to birth who you really are,
00:04:48.747 --> 00:04:51.216
It's not gonna come externally.
00:04:51.216 --> 00:04:53.785
It's already in you and you are going to have to learn
00:04:54.886 --> 00:04:57.189
How to push it out.
00:04:57.189 --> 00:04:58.790
(congregation mumbling)
00:04:58.790 --> 00:05:01.927
And so you've got the you that every bad decision,
00:05:01.927 --> 00:05:05.897
Every person that walked out, everything you didn't get,
00:05:05.897 --> 00:05:09.735
Every trauma, every failure, every disappointment,
00:05:09.735 --> 00:05:14.039
Everybody that stabbed you in the back,
00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:17.242
Everything that disappointed you,
00:05:17.242 --> 00:05:19.678
And everything that didn't pan out, you have that person.
00:05:19.678 --> 00:05:23.982
And then you've got, "this is who i created you to be
00:05:23.982 --> 00:05:26.918
From the foundations of the earth."
00:05:26.918 --> 00:05:28.420
And what i've been teaching you is
00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:30.088
The warfare is in the middle.
00:05:30.088 --> 00:05:31.957
(congregation mumbling)
00:05:31.957 --> 00:05:34.593
So, i realize i've done a lot of dumb things,
00:05:34.593 --> 00:05:39.931
And then i meet jesus, and this guy won't leave me alone.
00:05:41.066 --> 00:05:44.069
(congregation mumbling)
00:05:44.069 --> 00:05:47.572
Have you ever lived there?
00:05:47.572 --> 00:05:48.540
That's where i live every day,
00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:50.642
Because once you are introduced
00:05:50.642 --> 00:05:53.111
To there's something in you that you've never met,
00:05:53.111 --> 00:05:55.981
There's things in you that you've never seen,
00:05:56.915 --> 00:05:59.584
There's stuff you got that you've never possessed.
00:05:59.584 --> 00:06:02.521
Once you're introduced to that,
00:06:02.521 --> 00:06:04.756
There is this thing that will not let you go
00:06:04.756 --> 00:06:07.526
And it brings a certain level of frustration.
00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:11.663
I don't believe god's gonna move that kind of frustration,
00:06:11.663 --> 00:06:14.866
Because that frustration is what makes you
00:06:14.866 --> 00:06:17.035
Continue to pursue.
00:06:17.035 --> 00:06:18.703
(congregation mumbling)
00:06:18.703 --> 00:06:20.338
If that's ever gone and pursuit dies, your life's over.
00:06:20.338 --> 00:06:26.011
Why are you here and what are you chasing?
00:06:26.912 --> 00:06:30.248
There's this thing that grabs a hold of you
00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:34.419
And will not let you go.
00:06:34.419 --> 00:06:36.555
It's like jonah, it's like once you get introduced to god
00:06:36.555 --> 00:06:40.392
And you find out god has something very special for you,
00:06:40.392 --> 00:06:44.496
The fact that somebody calls you special frustrates you
00:06:44.496 --> 00:06:48.233
Because you look around you, you don't say nothing special,
00:06:49.401 --> 00:06:54.673
And you clock in and you clock out,
00:06:55.407 --> 00:06:58.410
And you don't feel special.
00:06:58.410 --> 00:07:00.779
And with your manager, supervisor breathing down your neck
00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:05.951
And quotas to meet, you don't feel, (laughs)
00:07:06.852 --> 00:07:11.056
You don't feel special.
00:07:11.056 --> 00:07:12.858
(congregation mumbling)
00:07:12.858 --> 00:07:14.459
But there's this special thing beaten in your heart
00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:16.761
And it won't quit.
00:07:16.761 --> 00:07:17.996
There's this thing beating in your heart says,
00:07:18.964 --> 00:07:20.232
"you're not like everybody else."
00:07:20.232 --> 00:07:22.067
(congregation cheering)
00:07:22.067 --> 00:07:23.735
Ruth is sitting there, a beggar,
00:07:23.735 --> 00:07:25.337
"can't eat me, i'm not like the rest of them women."
00:07:25.337 --> 00:07:29.007
(congregation cheering) (organ music)
00:07:29.007 --> 00:07:30.475
That's that thing that god does on the inside of you
00:07:30.475 --> 00:07:33.645
That lets you know you stand out and you are different,
00:07:34.746 --> 00:07:37.182
And you are not made to blend.
00:07:37.182 --> 00:07:39.451
But yet it's frustrating, you look around
00:07:40.318 --> 00:07:41.953
And everything's vanilla and everything's common,
00:07:41.953 --> 00:07:45.090
But you know you've been called to uncommon
00:07:45.090 --> 00:07:47.959
And you know you've been called to be the exception,
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.262
But you see a reality
00:07:50.262 --> 00:07:52.230
And i'm living in the vanilla sameness of this mess,
00:07:52.230 --> 00:07:55.834
But i feel like there's something
00:07:56.568 --> 00:07:58.169
Really special about my life.
00:07:58.169 --> 00:08:00.739
It's not a sin for you to feel special.
00:08:00.739 --> 00:08:04.376
(organ music)
00:08:04.376 --> 00:08:07.512
Now, i want you to watch the progression.
00:08:08.380 --> 00:08:11.182
Come on, folks, this stuff is real now.
00:08:12.017 --> 00:08:14.219
These are not sermons, this is real.
00:08:14.219 --> 00:08:16.421
(congregation mumbling)
00:08:16.421 --> 00:08:19.724
People who've been serving god a long time,
00:08:19.724 --> 00:08:24.195
They say they didn't get saved by works
00:08:24.195 --> 00:08:26.932
But they get frustrated when they think they live right.
00:08:26.932 --> 00:08:31.870
And they see somebody that just got saved
00:08:32.771 --> 00:08:35.807
Who ain't changed their habits,
00:08:35.807 --> 00:08:38.109
Ain't changed their friends,
00:08:38.109 --> 00:08:40.111
Ain't changed their music,
00:08:40.111 --> 00:08:42.080
Ain't changed their activities,
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.049
Still running with the same folk,
00:08:44.049 --> 00:08:46.051
Still doing the same thing,
00:08:46.051 --> 00:08:47.786
Still telling the same jokes,
00:08:47.786 --> 00:08:49.654
And still got a filthy mouth,
00:08:49.654 --> 00:08:51.189
And god just start blessing them like crazy.
00:08:51.189 --> 00:08:54.025
And it takes these 20 and 30-year-old christians off so bad,
00:08:54.025 --> 00:08:58.096
Because you've got all these new people to get saved
00:08:58.096 --> 00:09:00.398
And god just start dumping blessings on them.
00:09:00.398 --> 00:09:02.934
And then you got all these people
00:09:03.602 --> 00:09:05.570
Who've been saved 15, 20, 30 years,
00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:07.739
And they think that, you know, my righteous acts
00:09:07.739 --> 00:09:11.076
Should have gotten me some favor with god.
00:09:11.076 --> 00:09:15.013
Yet they see god doing things
00:09:15.013 --> 00:09:17.215
For people that they don't think deserve it.
00:09:17.215 --> 00:09:19.084
Have you ever noticed these new converts?
00:09:19.084 --> 00:09:21.119
"oh, i just got a thing in the mail,
00:09:21.119 --> 00:09:22.487
They canceled my school loans.
00:09:22.487 --> 00:09:24.289
Somebody just gave me a car."
00:09:24.289 --> 00:09:27.192
"gave you a car?
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.260
What do you mean? i've been walking with god for 28 years
00:09:30.428 --> 00:09:33.398
And god ain't never gave me no car.
00:09:33.398 --> 00:09:35.333
You out here acting crazy?"
00:09:35.333 --> 00:09:36.635
Yeah, come on in there, let's go to shakies.
00:09:36.635 --> 00:09:38.870
(congregation laughing and clapping)
00:09:38.870 --> 00:09:46.311
And it confuses us because we think
00:09:47.045 --> 00:09:50.415
That by doing the right thing,
00:09:51.049 --> 00:09:52.584
God should be doing all this free stuff.
00:09:52.584 --> 00:09:54.886
(congregation mumbling)
00:09:54.886 --> 00:09:56.254
But it's actually the opposite.
00:09:56.254 --> 00:09:58.590
(congregation mumbling)
00:09:58.590 --> 00:10:01.893
- [narrator] there is a you that god intended
00:10:01.893 --> 00:10:03.995
And there is a you that is your reality.
00:10:03.995 --> 00:10:06.431
The battle is always between the two.
00:10:06.431 --> 00:10:08.867
- the first battle that comes to you
00:10:08.867 --> 00:10:11.102
And your new decision to follow christ
00:10:11.102 --> 00:10:13.304
Is you have to somehow outlive everybody's definition of you
00:10:13.304 --> 00:10:18.643
By your activities up until that point.
00:10:19.477 --> 00:10:21.880
- [narrator] eight messages, one life changing word.
00:10:21.880 --> 00:10:25.083
- that's the reason there's a lot of people
00:10:25.083 --> 00:10:27.552
That aren't in your life there used to be.
00:10:28.453 --> 00:10:29.721
Why? because you wanted them in the picture
00:10:29.721 --> 00:10:31.156
But god said they're not in the picture.
00:10:31.156 --> 00:10:33.224
And god was not going to write another picture
00:10:33.224 --> 00:10:35.927
Because you want crazy people in your life,
00:10:35.927 --> 00:10:38.697
God is going to cut the crazy people out
00:10:38.697 --> 00:10:41.399
Because he's got somewhere that he's playing to take you.
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.003
- [narrator] order this eight message series

By ordering in the next 10 minutes.
00:10:58.850 --> 00:11:01.219
(bright upbeat music)
00:11:01.219 --> 00:11:02.787
- ruth has not yet met boaz, and boaz is a type of christ.
00:11:02.787 --> 00:11:08.727
She ain't met him yet.
00:11:09.227 --> 00:11:11.096
She's a idol worshiper from a foreign land
00:11:11.996 --> 00:11:16.468
And she's getting free food.
00:11:17.068 --> 00:11:19.204
(congregation mumbling)
00:11:19.704 --> 00:11:21.873
Boaz, he leave her some on purpose.
00:11:21.873 --> 00:11:24.843
(congregation mumbling)
00:11:24.843 --> 00:11:28.279
And what everybody else is working for,
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.649
Jesus has given her for free.
00:11:32.283 --> 00:11:34.552
(congregation cheering) (organ music)
00:11:34.552 --> 00:11:38.289
(ron laughing)
00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:41.192
He went to his work as he said, "just drop some on her,
00:11:42.327 --> 00:11:44.262
Don't give her the leftover give her the good stuff."
00:11:44.262 --> 00:11:46.698
(congregation mumbling)
00:11:46.698 --> 00:11:50.101
"give her the good stuff, just drop some."
00:11:50.101 --> 00:11:53.371
Then all of a sudden, what she's eating
00:11:53.371 --> 00:11:54.973
Is beginning to change
00:11:54.973 --> 00:11:56.441
Because god has done entered the picture and says,
00:11:56.441 --> 00:11:58.977
"i don't want her getting scraps and crumbs."
00:11:58.977 --> 00:12:01.446
(congregation mumbling)
00:12:01.446 --> 00:12:03.114
"but wait a minute,
00:12:03.114 --> 00:12:04.382
She just come over here into the kingdom.
00:12:04.382 --> 00:12:06.584
She don't even really know you yet."
00:12:06.584 --> 00:12:09.154
(congregation mumbling)
00:12:09.154 --> 00:12:10.555
"yeah, but i know her."
00:12:10.555 --> 00:12:12.157
(congregation mumbling) (organ music)
00:12:12.157 --> 00:12:15.593
Y'all ain't ready for me,
00:12:15.593 --> 00:12:16.828
I'm telling you, i got something in me.
00:12:16.828 --> 00:12:18.963
(organ music)
00:12:18.963 --> 00:12:21.399
They may not know him but god knows them.
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.102
Remember, they didn't choose god, god chose them.
00:12:24.102 --> 00:12:27.505
(organ music)
00:12:27.505 --> 00:12:32.277
When god got israel out of egypt,
00:12:33.044 --> 00:12:37.882
He did for them what they could not do.
00:12:37.882 --> 00:12:43.221
They were under the authority of a monarch, a tyrant,
00:12:44.289 --> 00:12:48.526
Pharaoh, who's a type of satan.
00:12:49.160 --> 00:12:52.230
All the old testament is a type and a shadow of the new.
00:12:52.230 --> 00:12:55.466
God goes in there, defeats the tyrant,
00:12:55.466 --> 00:12:59.070
Overthrows his army, swallows them up in the sea,
00:13:00.071 --> 00:13:03.441
And delivers them from egypt, their bondage,
00:13:03.441 --> 00:13:05.743
Or from the clutches of sin.
00:13:05.743 --> 00:13:07.679
Jesus came, overthrew satan, gave you authority over him,
00:13:08.813 --> 00:13:14.719
And delivered you from the clutches of sin
00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:18.623
Because there was no way you could do it for yourself.
00:13:18.623 --> 00:13:21.893
And then he takes them right outside of egypt into sand.
00:13:23.027 --> 00:13:27.866
(congregation mumbling)
00:13:28.366 --> 00:13:31.135
Approximately three million people in sand.
00:13:31.135 --> 00:13:36.374
(congregation mumbling)
00:13:36.875 --> 00:13:40.311
Now, let's break this down. (coughs)
00:13:40.311 --> 00:13:42.780
There's no police force,
00:13:42.780 --> 00:13:46.317
There's no court system.
00:13:46.818 --> 00:13:48.953
"hey, he stole one of my goats."
00:13:49.587 --> 00:13:52.457
Who you going to take it to?
00:13:52.457 --> 00:13:54.492
(congregation laughing)
00:13:54.492 --> 00:13:57.795
Moses is pastoring three million people with no staff
00:13:57.795 --> 00:14:02.700
And no volunteer base.
00:14:03.201 --> 00:14:05.169
(congregation mumbling)
00:14:05.169 --> 00:14:06.738
There is no supermarket, you cannot grow anything in sand,
00:14:06.738 --> 00:14:12.543
There is no water in sand.
00:14:13.111 --> 00:14:16.180
The heat of the desert will destroy you.
00:14:17.015 --> 00:14:21.419
He removes them from sin, they know nothing about god.
00:14:22.487 --> 00:14:28.126
God has to give them 10 foundational laws
00:14:28.993 --> 00:14:32.797
To start a moral code.
00:14:32.797 --> 00:14:35.433
They don't even know right from wrong.
00:14:36.234 --> 00:14:38.803
And god goes, "okay, don't kill, don't steal,
00:14:38.803 --> 00:14:43.508
Don't take the lord's name in vain."
00:14:43.508 --> 00:14:45.643
I mean, just 10 simple foundational moral code.
00:14:45.643 --> 00:14:51.049
God is taking them and rebuilding them from the ground up.
00:14:52.283 --> 00:14:55.553
Why? because they were never meant to be slaves.
00:14:55.553 --> 00:14:59.857
(congregation mumbling)
00:14:59.857 --> 00:15:02.660
But what he's got to do
00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:05.129
Is he's got to give them some free stuff
00:15:05.129 --> 00:15:08.499
While he's buying time for them to find out
00:15:09.400 --> 00:15:13.404
Who they really are.
00:15:13.404 --> 00:15:15.239
Y'all not feeling me?
00:15:15.239 --> 00:15:16.841
(organ playing)
00:15:16.841 --> 00:15:19.277
So when somebody gets saved
00:15:19.277 --> 00:15:21.312
God just starts showering blessing,
00:15:21.312 --> 00:15:25.016
'cause they don't know the word of god.
00:15:25.016 --> 00:15:27.952
They don't know their new identity,
00:15:27.952 --> 00:15:30.555
They don't know who they are in christ,
00:15:30.555 --> 00:15:32.857
They don't know the father's love,
00:15:32.857 --> 00:15:35.026
They don't know the power of the name of jesus,
00:15:35.026 --> 00:15:37.628
They don't know the person of the holy spirit,
00:15:37.628 --> 00:15:40.431
They don't know the fruit of the spirit;
00:15:40.431 --> 00:15:41.933
Love, joy, peace, god.
00:15:41.933 --> 00:15:43.034
They don't know about blessing,
00:15:43.034 --> 00:15:45.136
So god has to do for them what they cannot do.
00:15:45.136 --> 00:15:48.740
So god says, "i tell you what, in the morning
00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:51.576
There'll be manna on the ground.
00:15:51.576 --> 00:15:53.678
And then when you get tired of manna,
00:15:53.678 --> 00:15:55.480
I'll let the quail fly low
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.648
And you can grab 'em right out of the air
00:15:57.648 --> 00:15:59.851
And cook you some chicken,
00:15:59.851 --> 00:16:01.219
Just like they do after church in 2017 on sunday."
00:16:01.219 --> 00:16:05.356
You know that when church gets out on sunday,
00:16:05.356 --> 00:16:08.893
Every bird in the world is in danger, hallelujah,
00:16:08.893 --> 00:16:11.996
'cause we love a bird.
00:16:11.996 --> 00:16:13.197
He said, "take these birds
00:16:13.197 --> 00:16:15.033
And kill 'em and cook 'em for meat.
00:16:15.033 --> 00:16:16.934
I'm gonna let you get water out of this rock.
00:16:16.934 --> 00:16:19.370
I tell you what, i'm gonna give you an air conditioning,
00:16:19.370 --> 00:16:21.439
I'm gonna put a cloud over the sun.
00:16:21.439 --> 00:16:23.474
It's going to keep you cool.
00:16:23.474 --> 00:16:25.109
And then, oh yeah, at night time when you get cold,
00:16:25.109 --> 00:16:28.012
I'm gonna let fire burn in the heaven and warm you up.
00:16:28.012 --> 00:16:31.349
I'm gonna you everything, you don't know me but i know you,
00:16:31.349 --> 00:16:36.087
And i'm everything you need."
00:16:36.087 --> 00:16:39.590
(organ playing)
00:16:39.957 --> 00:16:42.226
(congregation cheering)
00:16:42.226 --> 00:16:48.099
(bright upbeat music)
00:16:48.599 --> 00:17:18.029
So now handfuls on purpose have been dropped to ruth.
00:17:19.097 --> 00:17:24.435
Favor has brought her to the table.
00:17:25.236 --> 00:17:29.340
(congregation mumbling)
00:17:29.841 --> 00:17:31.042
Now she's no longer begging,
00:17:31.042 --> 00:17:34.378
Now she's no longer picking up the stuff
00:17:34.378 --> 00:17:36.647
They're dropping on purpose.
00:17:36.647 --> 00:17:38.983
Now he says, "come here."
00:17:38.983 --> 00:17:41.919
(congregation mumbling)
00:17:41.919 --> 00:17:44.255
Didn't jesus say, "come unto me
00:17:44.255 --> 00:17:48.025
All ye that are weary and heavy laden,
00:17:48.860 --> 00:17:53.998
And i will give you rest"?
00:17:54.565 --> 00:17:56.167
"take my yoke upon you and learn," learn, learn of...
00:17:56.167 --> 00:18:02.073
(congregation mumbling)
00:18:02.573 --> 00:18:05.510
Boaz said, "come here. you've heard about me."
00:18:05.510 --> 00:18:10.081
(congregation mumbling)
00:18:10.081 --> 00:18:11.816
"come sit at the table with me."
00:18:11.816 --> 00:18:13.818
And by the way, all these people
00:18:14.452 --> 00:18:16.187
That you've been walking behind,
00:18:16.187 --> 00:18:18.156
Now you're gonna walk with them.
00:18:18.156 --> 00:18:19.690
(organ playing)
00:18:19.690 --> 00:18:22.660
(congregation clapping)
00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:25.296
But you don't read nothing else
00:18:25.296 --> 00:18:26.764
About handfuls on purpose 'cause that's over.
00:18:26.764 --> 00:18:29.634
You're not in the season anymore
00:18:29.634 --> 00:18:32.203
Where god throws out the free stuff.
00:18:32.203 --> 00:18:35.907
(congregation mumbling)
00:18:35.907 --> 00:18:37.074
Oh, where's my shout now?
00:18:37.074 --> 00:18:39.243
(congregation laughing)
00:18:39.243 --> 00:18:42.146
I mean, that was a 15 second shift from one side
00:18:42.146 --> 00:18:45.683
To all the way on the other side.
00:18:45.683 --> 00:18:47.685
(congregation mumbling)
00:18:47.685 --> 00:18:50.154
When israel got in the promised land,
00:18:50.154 --> 00:18:52.990
It's a land that flows.
00:18:52.990 --> 00:18:56.427
(congregation mumbling)
00:18:56.427 --> 00:18:58.863
So the bible said when they crossed over
00:18:58.863 --> 00:19:01.132
Into the promised land, (indistinct), "the manna ceased."
00:19:01.132 --> 00:19:06.137
(congregation mumbling)
00:19:06.137 --> 00:19:09.807
We get so disappointed when the free stuff from god stops,
00:19:10.975 --> 00:19:18.249
(congregation mumbling)
00:19:18.749 --> 00:19:20.418
Not understanding that if god has cut off
00:19:20.418 --> 00:19:24.188
The flow of the free stuff,
00:19:24.188 --> 00:19:26.357
It means you have graduated from the wilderness.
00:19:26.357 --> 00:19:29.627
(organ music)
00:19:29.627 --> 00:19:34.131
My god, that's powerful. that's powerful.
00:19:34.932 --> 00:19:38.603
If god has cut off the free stuff,
00:19:39.370 --> 00:19:41.706
Welcome to the promised land.
00:19:41.706 --> 00:19:43.908
(organ music)
00:19:43.908 --> 00:19:46.744
(congregation cheering and clapping)
00:19:47.545 --> 00:19:51.749
Now, boaz said, "come here, eat the bread."
00:19:51.749 --> 00:19:57.755
(congregation mumbling)
00:19:58.256 --> 00:19:59.090
If nothing's happening,
00:19:59.090 --> 00:20:00.891
It's because you've graduated from the wilderness
00:20:01.926 --> 00:20:07.031
But you won't eat the bread.
00:20:07.632 --> 00:20:09.567
(congregation mumbling)
00:20:09.567 --> 00:20:13.738
And your next season is not coming
00:20:13.738 --> 00:20:17.475
Until the bread becomes your friend.
00:20:18.276 --> 00:20:20.645
(congregation mumbling) (organ music)
00:20:20.645 --> 00:20:22.213
I know you wanted me to be deep.
00:20:22.213 --> 00:20:24.682
(congregation clapping)
00:20:24.682 --> 00:20:26.617
Jesus put it this way,
00:20:26.617 --> 00:20:28.653
"if you abide in me and my word abides in you,
00:20:28.653 --> 00:20:33.891
Ask me whatever you will
00:20:34.392 --> 00:20:36.627
And it shall be done to you by my father in heaven."
00:20:36.627 --> 00:20:40.164
When you approach boaz with a word in your heart,
00:20:40.164 --> 00:20:44.001
There ain't nothing he won't do for you.
00:20:44.001 --> 00:20:46.570
But you got to come out of the season of just enough
00:20:46.570 --> 00:20:49.840
And just having enough bread and just having enough manna,
00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:52.943
Because you are in a place if you'll sow this seed,
00:20:52.943 --> 00:20:56.447
God will take you to being satisfied.
00:20:56.447 --> 00:20:59.083
God will take you into being filled
00:20:59.083 --> 00:21:01.185
And god will take you into being put something back.
00:21:01.185 --> 00:21:04.221
Does anybody want to get out of just enough?
00:21:04.221 --> 00:21:07.124
And i want to have storehouses full of blessing in my life.
00:21:07.124 --> 00:21:12.096
Shout, hallelujah.
00:21:12.096 --> 00:21:13.531
(organ music)
00:21:13.531 --> 00:21:17.168
(congregation cheering)
00:21:17.668 --> 00:21:21.972
(light instrumental music)
00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:26.277
The way god responds to you when he snatches you out of sin
00:21:26.277 --> 00:21:30.314
Is not the way he treats you for a lifetime.
00:21:30.314 --> 00:21:33.217
(light instrumental music)
00:21:33.217 --> 00:21:37.555
He feeds you and gives you to drink
00:21:37.555 --> 00:21:41.359
While he's trying to train you into who you are.
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.729
When you find out who you are,
00:21:45.363 --> 00:21:47.798
Say, "lord, just gimme the bread and i can work it.
00:21:47.798 --> 00:21:53.104
All you got to do is gimme the bread."
00:21:53.904 --> 00:21:55.473
You do know the bread is the word of god,
00:21:55.473 --> 00:21:57.141
"just gimme the word and let me work it."
00:21:57.141 --> 00:21:59.844
(light instrumental music)
00:21:59.844 --> 00:22:02.246
If god is still dropping stuff.
00:22:02.246 --> 00:22:06.250
Man, i love y'all so much
00:22:06.817 --> 00:22:08.919
But let me confront something that i hear
00:22:08.919 --> 00:22:12.223
Come out of our people's mouth too much.
00:22:12.223 --> 00:22:14.925
"yeah, i'll see at church tomorrow,
00:22:14.925 --> 00:22:17.027
I'm coming to get my miracle."
00:22:17.027 --> 00:22:19.864
Closing the door, "oh, i'm in the house of god,
00:22:20.798 --> 00:22:22.867
I'm about to get my miracle."
00:22:22.867 --> 00:22:24.502
(light instrumental music)
00:22:24.502 --> 00:22:26.036
If you need a miracle every day,
00:22:26.036 --> 00:22:29.140
You're not in the promised land.
00:22:29.774 --> 00:22:31.776
(light instrumental music)
00:22:31.776 --> 00:22:36.180
Miracles every day is wilderness living.
00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:39.250
(light instrumental music)
00:22:39.250 --> 00:22:44.021
The promised land was rich soil
00:22:44.655 --> 00:22:47.792
And you can get out of it what you put in it.
00:22:48.726 --> 00:22:53.831
If you sow sparingly you will reap sparingly,
00:22:54.732 --> 00:22:59.403
If you sow generously you will reap generously.
00:23:00.404 --> 00:23:03.307
Sounds a lot like galatians 6:9, doesn't it?
00:23:03.307 --> 00:23:07.244
(light instrumental music)
00:23:07.244 --> 00:23:10.414
The free stuff being cut off
00:23:10.414 --> 00:23:13.017
Means a graduation has taken place,
00:23:13.751 --> 00:23:16.587
But now you're at the table with jesus
00:23:17.388 --> 00:23:19.323
And you gotta eat the bread.
00:23:19.323 --> 00:23:21.392
Even jesus turned on the people.
00:23:21.392 --> 00:23:24.028
Look, jesus was feeding 5,000 with five loaves and two fish
00:23:24.028 --> 00:23:28.098
And healing people in lines and crowds, and multitudes.
00:23:28.098 --> 00:23:32.136
In john chapter six, jesus said, (screams).
00:23:32.136 --> 00:23:36.106
Now listen to this.,he said, "unless you eat my flesh,"
00:23:37.208 --> 00:23:39.844
That's the word. "i am the word."
00:23:39.844 --> 00:23:42.980
Jesus said, "i am the bread of heaven,
00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:45.282
Unless you eat this bread." (laughs)
00:23:46.050 --> 00:23:49.086
(light instrumental music)
00:23:49.086 --> 00:23:50.721
He says, "you want me to provide bread?
00:23:50.721 --> 00:23:52.456
No, you need to start eating bread."
00:23:52.456 --> 00:23:54.525
(congregation mumbling)
00:23:54.525 --> 00:23:56.126
He said, "unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood,
00:23:56.126 --> 00:23:59.597
You don't have no-
00:24:00.030 --> 00:24:01.298
Getting my freebies does not connect you to me."
00:24:01.298 --> 00:24:05.302
(congregation mumbling) (light instrumental music)
00:24:05.302 --> 00:24:09.673
He said, "but when you eat of me
00:24:09.673 --> 00:24:11.775
And put me in you, and i begin."
00:24:11.775 --> 00:24:15.513
When you got saved and you get the word,
00:24:15.513 --> 00:24:17.915
There's a theological term
00:24:17.915 --> 00:24:19.950
That we learned in bible school called regeneration.
00:24:19.950 --> 00:24:22.586
The root word is gene. god re-genes.
00:24:22.586 --> 00:24:27.525
"well, you know, my father's family, everybody's a diabetic.
00:24:28.692 --> 00:24:32.396
You know, and everybody's an alcoholic,
00:24:33.264 --> 00:24:35.399
You know, can't nobody sustain a marriage-"
00:24:35.399 --> 00:24:37.902
But he wants to re-genetically design you
00:24:38.769 --> 00:24:44.775
For something else.
00:24:45.242 --> 00:24:47.044
(congregation mumbling) (light instrumental music)
00:24:47.044 --> 00:24:50.548
(bright upbeat music)
00:24:50.548 --> 00:25:20.511
Guys, you know what?
00:25:20.978 --> 00:25:22.246
Like always, i'm so glad that you tune in with us
00:25:22.246 --> 00:25:23.847
And you let us be a part of your life.
00:25:23.847 --> 00:25:25.983
And i just wanna let you know,
00:25:25.983 --> 00:25:27.284
I want to connect with you on a greater basis.
00:25:27.284 --> 00:25:28.852
You say, "but pastor ron, you sound like a broken record."
00:25:28.852 --> 00:25:30.821
No. come on, i need you to go get you a facebook page,
00:25:30.821 --> 00:25:33.824
I need you to get on twitter, get on instagram.
00:25:33.824 --> 00:25:36.160
You'll find one that'll end up
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.528
Kind of being your favorite, your go-to thing.
00:25:37.528 --> 00:25:39.229
Why? we're always talking.
00:25:39.229 --> 00:25:40.698
We want you to know what's going on at redemption,
00:25:40.698 --> 00:25:42.466
We want you to know what's going on
00:25:42.466 --> 00:25:44.034
At ron carpenter ministries,
00:25:44.034 --> 00:25:45.269
We want you to know the itinerary.
00:25:45.269 --> 00:25:46.937
I may come and be speaking in your area.
00:25:46.937 --> 00:25:49.139
I have people all the time say,
00:25:49.139 --> 00:25:50.741
"i didn't know you were here, i didn't know you were here."
00:25:50.741 --> 00:25:52.376
Well, go get other ways to connect with me.
00:25:52.376 --> 00:25:55.512

And i wanna invite others to help us do what we do.

We've just expanded again, but i need your help.
00:26:06.757 --> 00:26:10.461
We can't keep expanding out there without expanding support.
00:26:10.461 --> 00:26:14.431
So would you consider
