  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:16.900
  • Hey, family.
  • 00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:18.301
  • I bring you greetings from jacksonville, florida.
  • 00:00:18.301 --> 00:00:20.403
  • I'm pastor tim timberlake of celebration church,
  • 00:00:20.403 --> 00:00:23.106
  • And i am excited about our time together today.
  • 00:00:23.106 --> 00:00:26.276
  • I want us to go on to the word of god
  • 00:00:26.276 --> 00:00:27.710
  • As we've already begun the message.
  • 00:00:27.710 --> 00:00:29.646
  • Counterfeit comfort.
  • 00:00:29.646 --> 00:00:30.947
  • Call your friends.
  • 00:00:30.947 --> 00:00:32.115
  • Tell them we're on leave right now. grab your word.
  • 00:00:32.115 --> 00:00:34.184
  • Grab your pen. grab your notebook.
  • 00:00:34.184 --> 00:00:36.086
  • Join us as we go into the sanctuary.
  • 00:00:36.086 --> 00:00:39.422
  • This parable is
  • 00:00:39.789 --> 00:00:42.292
  • A lesson that jesus is teaching to believers.
  • 00:00:42.292 --> 00:00:45.862
  • It's to how we utilize our earthly resources
  • 00:00:45.862 --> 00:00:48.965
  • And how we should steward them wisely.
  • 00:00:48.965 --> 00:00:52.702
  • And he teaches us that if we have a problem
  • 00:00:52.702 --> 00:00:56.039
  • With this, we have lost focus.
  • 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.776
  • We must be reminded of what deuteronomy chapter eight verse
  • 00:00:59.776 --> 00:01:02.479
  • 18 says.
  • 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.748
  • Scripture reads, it's this.
  • 00:01:06.349 --> 00:01:08.918
  • But remember,
  • 00:01:09.285 --> 00:01:11.688
  • It is the lord your god,
  • 00:01:11.688 --> 00:01:14.224
  • For it is he who gives you the ability
  • 00:01:14.224 --> 00:01:17.360
  • To produce wealth.
  • 00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:19.629
  • And so confirms his covenant, which he swore
  • 00:01:19.629 --> 00:01:23.633
  • To your ancestors, as it is today.
  • 00:01:23.633 --> 00:01:28.204
  • So anytime we have a problem
  • 00:01:28.771 --> 00:01:32.175
  • With reading what we should do in scripture,
  • 00:01:32.175 --> 00:01:35.712
  • It is based off of one of two things.
  • 00:01:35.712 --> 00:01:39.048
  • The first one is this.
  • 00:01:39.048 --> 00:01:41.050
  • We have been under a teacher who has practiced
  • 00:01:41.050 --> 00:01:44.187
  • Spiritual malpractice.
  • 00:01:44.187 --> 00:01:47.590
  • And the second is this
  • 00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:49.225
  • We have a poverty mindset.
  • 00:01:49.225 --> 00:01:54.797
  • Today
  • 00:01:55.031 --> 00:01:55.732
  • I want to highlight how you know
  • 00:01:55.732 --> 00:01:58.701
  • If you have a poverty mindset and teach you how to break it.
  • 00:01:58.701 --> 00:02:02.071
  • It's a counterfeit comfort.
  • 00:02:02.672 --> 00:02:05.542
  • It's not the real thing.
  • 00:02:05.542 --> 00:02:07.777
  • This is not the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:02:07.777 --> 00:02:09.579
  • How do you know that
  • 00:02:09.579 --> 00:02:10.880
  • You are operating from a mindset and a mentality of poverty?
  • 00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:15.051
  • And i don't care how much money you have,
  • 00:02:15.051 --> 00:02:16.686
  • I don't care what tax bracket you fall in.
  • 00:02:16.686 --> 00:02:18.755
  • I don't care
  • 00:02:18.755 --> 00:02:19.322
  • What vehicle you drive
  • 00:02:19.322 --> 00:02:20.623
  • Or what's on your dream board, or what you got
  • 00:02:20.623 --> 00:02:22.325
  • Pinned to your pinterest wall, or what you put on instagram.
  • 00:02:22.325 --> 00:02:25.528
  • I don't care about any of those things
  • 00:02:25.528 --> 00:02:27.363
  • Because you can have all of the possessions
  • 00:02:27.363 --> 00:02:29.499
  • And still have a poverty mindset.
  • 00:02:29.499 --> 00:02:32.702
  • Amen.
  • 00:02:32.936 --> 00:02:34.504
  • So i want to bring to your attention five ways
  • 00:02:34.504 --> 00:02:36.973
  • You can identify if you have a poverty mindset.
  • 00:02:36.973 --> 00:02:39.542
  • The first one is this you are a procrastinator.
  • 00:02:39.542 --> 00:02:48.184
  • Y'all feel that.
  • 00:02:48.551 --> 00:02:53.456
  • Some of your toes curl.
  • 00:02:53.990 --> 00:02:55.158
  • When i said it.
  • 00:02:55.158 --> 00:02:59.662
  • What i mean by that.
  • 00:03:00.096 --> 00:03:02.098
  • It means that you are one that sets timelines and goals,
  • 00:03:02.098 --> 00:03:05.668
  • But you never accomplish them.
  • 00:03:05.668 --> 00:03:10.306
  • I called this
  • 00:03:10.673 --> 00:03:11.574
  • The spirit of the waster.
  • 00:03:11.574 --> 00:03:15.178
  • This is what scripture is talking about
  • 00:03:15.979 --> 00:03:17.814
  • When it says the palmer worm.
  • 00:03:17.814 --> 00:03:19.882
  • And the canker worm has come to eat up your time.
  • 00:03:19.882 --> 00:03:25.922
  • You never follow through with what you are committed to.
  • 00:03:27.023 --> 00:03:30.827
  • That is a poverty mindset, and that spirit
  • 00:03:30.827 --> 00:03:33.830
  • Has to be broken off of your life.
  • 00:03:33.830 --> 00:03:37.400
  • Proverbs chapter 13 verse four says,
  • 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.169
  • The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing.
  • 00:03:40.169 --> 00:03:45.642
  • While the soul of the
  • 00:03:46.142 --> 00:03:47.510
  • Diligent is richly supplied.
  • 00:03:47.510 --> 00:03:51.180
  • Procrastination isn't just about delaying tasks.
  • 00:03:52.148 --> 00:03:55.718
  • It's about delaying your destiny.
  • 00:03:55.718 --> 00:03:59.188
  • It's the subtle whisper of the enemy
  • 00:03:59.956 --> 00:04:01.691
  • That says, you've got time.
  • 00:04:01.691 --> 00:04:05.161
  • While time slips to your hands.
  • 00:04:05.161 --> 00:04:08.631
  • Procrastination is faith in tomorrow.
  • 00:04:08.631 --> 00:04:11.768
  • Over obedience.
  • 00:04:11.768 --> 00:04:12.869
  • Today.
  • 00:04:12.869 --> 00:04:16.939
  • And if you're a procrastinator, hear me family.
  • 00:04:17.874 --> 00:04:20.043
  • The enemy doesn't need to destroy your purpose.
  • 00:04:20.043 --> 00:04:22.812
  • If he can convince you to pause it indefinitely.
  • 00:04:22.812 --> 00:04:34.857
  • This.
  • 00:04:35.091 --> 00:04:36.826
  • It runs rampant in our lives.
  • 00:04:36.826 --> 00:04:39.095
  • If we are not cautious and spiritually aware.
  • 00:04:39.095 --> 00:04:43.366
  • We listen to this voice that tells us
  • 00:04:44.167 --> 00:04:47.303
  • You can do it tomorrow.
  • 00:04:47.804 --> 00:04:49.672
  • You can do it tomorrow.
  • 00:04:49.672 --> 00:04:51.174
  • And the voice of god is calling you to do it today.
  • 00:04:51.174 --> 00:04:55.611
  • Don't put off for tomorrow
  • 00:04:56.179 --> 00:04:58.648
  • What god is calling you to do today.
  • 00:04:58.648 --> 00:05:03.820
  • Procrastination is
  • 00:05:04.253 --> 00:05:06.656
  • A poverty mindset.
  • 00:05:06.656 --> 00:05:11.928
  • You relinquish that
  • 00:05:12.395 --> 00:05:15.264
  • And you turn it back over to god.
  • 00:05:15.264 --> 00:05:16.866
  • Joel chapter two verse 25 says,
  • 00:05:16.866 --> 00:05:19.402
  • I will restore unto you the years
  • 00:05:19.402 --> 00:05:22.805
  • That the canker worm and the palmer
  • 00:05:23.539 --> 00:05:25.141
  • Worm and the locust have eaten and destroyed.
  • 00:05:25.141 --> 00:05:28.311
  • So god is not just a returner of years.
  • 00:05:28.311 --> 00:05:31.514
  • He's a restorer of years, which means the things
  • 00:05:31.514 --> 00:05:34.550
  • That you weren't supposed to walk into last year,
  • 00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:37.153
  • But you procrastinated.
  • 00:05:37.153 --> 00:05:38.421
  • God will expedite when you repent and turn back to him.
  • 00:05:38.421 --> 00:05:45.428
  • So how do you know that
  • 00:05:45.928 --> 00:05:47.196
  • You are operating from a poverty mentality
  • 00:05:47.196 --> 00:05:50.032
  • And mindset when you procrastinate?
  • 00:05:50.032 --> 00:05:51.701
  • What is the action that changes this course?
  • 00:05:51.701 --> 00:05:54.370
  • What is the prayer that we should be praying?
  • 00:05:54.370 --> 00:05:56.706
  • The thing
  • 00:05:56.706 --> 00:05:57.907
  • That we should be praying is that god would call out of us
  • 00:05:57.907 --> 00:06:00.943
  • Anything that we don't have the courage to face head on.
  • 00:06:00.943 --> 00:06:07.884
  • Procrastination.
  • 00:06:08.284 --> 00:06:10.887
  • The second way you know you have
  • 00:06:10.887 --> 00:06:14.157
  • Poverty mindset
  • 00:06:14.524 --> 00:06:16.993
  • Is there's a lack of vision
  • 00:06:16.993 --> 00:06:19.929
  • For your life.
  • 00:06:19.929 --> 00:06:23.499
  • Poverty mindset
  • 00:06:23.900 --> 00:06:24.834
  • Isn't just about empty pockets.
  • 00:06:24.834 --> 00:06:28.304
  • It's about empty plans.
  • 00:06:28.304 --> 00:06:31.707
  • Without vision, your life is moving.
  • 00:06:32.475 --> 00:06:35.812
  • But it's not advancing.
  • 00:06:35.812 --> 00:06:38.948
  • You're busy,
  • 00:06:39.282 --> 00:06:41.317
  • But you're not productive.
  • 00:06:41.317 --> 00:06:44.120
  • Have you ever found yourself in a season where it seemed like
  • 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.457
  • When this rat race, and no matter how hard you tried,
  • 00:06:47.457 --> 00:06:50.526
  • Your life, was not producing the fruit.
  • 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.062
  • You knew that it should produce.
  • 00:06:53.062 --> 00:06:57.099
  • Seems like when you took two steps forward,
  • 00:06:57.967 --> 00:06:59.936
  • You took three steps backwards.
  • 00:06:59.936 --> 00:07:04.006
  • It's a mindset
  • 00:07:04.340 --> 00:07:05.208
  • That has to be broken off of you.
  • 00:07:05.208 --> 00:07:08.778
  • Scripture teaches us in proverbs
  • 00:07:09.412 --> 00:07:10.847
  • Chapter 29 verse 18,
  • 00:07:10.847 --> 00:07:13.883
  • Where there is no vision,
  • 00:07:13.883 --> 00:07:16.619
  • The people perish,
  • 00:07:16.619 --> 00:07:18.888
  • But they that keep the law happy are they?
  • 00:07:18.888 --> 00:07:25.862
  • Here me, family.
  • 00:07:26.229 --> 00:07:29.031
  • When you can't see what god sees,
  • 00:07:29.031 --> 00:07:32.301
  • You settle for what you got.
  • 00:07:32.902 --> 00:07:39.342
  • You can't see what god sees.
  • 00:07:39.942 --> 00:07:42.712
  • You settle for what you got.
  • 00:07:42.712 --> 00:07:46.382
  • God does not desire to give you more things
  • 00:07:46.382 --> 00:07:50.152
  • For the sole purpose of how you want to live.
  • 00:07:50.152 --> 00:07:53.289
  • He desires to bless you so that you are
  • 00:07:54.090 --> 00:07:56.492
  • A blessing.
  • 00:07:56.492 --> 00:08:00.429
  • He desires to advance you
  • 00:08:00.997 --> 00:08:02.765
  • So that you can advance the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:08:02.765 --> 00:08:07.236
  • So you will never find here in celebration.
  • 00:08:08.170 --> 00:08:10.273
  • Church money lines 20.
  • 00:08:10.273 --> 00:08:11.607
  • Line $20 a line here $30. line here $50.
  • 00:08:11.607 --> 00:08:14.343
  • Line here.
  • 00:08:14.343 --> 00:08:15.077
  • That's garbage.
  • 00:08:15.077 --> 00:08:18.614
  • It's ridiculous.
  • 00:08:18.981 --> 00:08:22.251
  • But you will always find a gospel that convicts us,
  • 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.089
  • Teaches us
  • 00:08:27.390 --> 00:08:29.358
  • To have our eyes fixed on jesus.
  • 00:08:29.358 --> 00:08:33.062
  • For he is the lifter of our heads
  • 00:08:33.062 --> 00:08:35.531
  • And the giver of hope and the giver of life,
  • 00:08:35.531 --> 00:08:38.601
  • And the giver of transformative power.
  • 00:08:38.601 --> 00:08:40.870
  • So we sink our faith in him and his ability, not in our own.
  • 00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:47.777
  • Vision.
  • 00:08:48.010 --> 00:08:48.711
  • It's not just about your goals.
  • 00:08:48.711 --> 00:08:51.047
  • It's about your alignment with heaven's agenda.
  • 00:08:51.047 --> 00:08:55.284
  • If your vision is not aligned with heaven's agenda,
  • 00:08:56.352 --> 00:09:00.022
  • You have selfish ambition.
  • 00:09:00.022 --> 00:09:05.728
  • And god
  • 00:09:05.962 --> 00:09:06.829
  • Will not advance your selfish ambition,
  • 00:09:06.829 --> 00:09:11.067
  • The third way, you know
  • 00:09:11.567 --> 00:09:12.501
  • You have a poverty mindset.
  • 00:09:12.501 --> 00:09:17.073
  • You're lazy.
  • 00:09:17.373 --> 00:09:21.677
  • Y'all just look straight ahead.
  • 00:09:22.345 --> 00:09:25.014
  • Nobody know who i'm talking to.
  • 00:09:25.014 --> 00:09:26.682
  • Just keep looking at me.
  • 00:09:26.682 --> 00:09:27.850
  • Just nod your head.
  • 00:09:27.850 --> 00:09:28.684
  • Yep yep yep. nobody know.
  • 00:09:28.684 --> 00:09:32.054
  • We know,
  • 00:09:32.288 --> 00:09:34.323
  • But they don't got to know.
  • 00:09:34.323 --> 00:09:37.460
  • But you lazy.
  • 00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:40.429
  • What does it mean to be lazy
  • 00:09:40.429 --> 00:09:42.431
  • When you choose
  • 00:09:42.798 --> 00:09:43.466
  • Comfort over calling?
  • 00:09:43.466 --> 00:09:46.769
  • I'm not talking about sleeping in.
  • 00:09:47.536 --> 00:09:49.338
  • I'm talking about rest.
  • 00:09:49.338 --> 00:09:50.640
  • Rest is righteous.
  • 00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:52.475
  • I'm talking about choosing to become comfortable over
  • 00:09:52.475 --> 00:09:55.845
  • Following the godly conviction to your calling.
  • 00:09:55.845 --> 00:10:02.685
  • You hear those pitty claps?
  • 00:10:03.285 --> 00:10:10.893
  • For some of us, laziness
  • 00:10:11.427 --> 00:10:12.595
  • Does not look like sleeping in.
  • 00:10:12.595 --> 00:10:16.265
  • Laziness looks like the refusal to.
  • 00:10:17.033 --> 00:10:19.068
  • So when god asks us to.
  • 00:10:19.068 --> 00:10:24.407
  • Laziness is deeper than lounging.
  • 00:10:25.107 --> 00:10:28.477
  • It's an agreement with mediocrity.
  • 00:10:28.477 --> 00:10:31.547
  • It's deciding that good is enough.
  • 00:10:32.314 --> 00:10:35.351
  • When god has called you to greater.
  • 00:10:36.118 --> 00:10:39.822
  • Proverbs chapter ten, verse
  • 00:10:40.423 --> 00:10:41.657
  • Four says, lazy hands make for poverty,
  • 00:10:41.657 --> 00:10:45.327
  • But diligent hands bring wealth.
  • 00:10:45.961 --> 00:10:49.732
  • So what is laziness?
  • 00:10:50.166 --> 00:10:52.401
  • Laziness is the refusal to sow.
  • 00:10:52.401 --> 00:10:54.970
  • But the expectation to receive a harvest.
  • 00:10:54.970 --> 00:10:58.874
  • We are so entitled.
  • 00:10:59.341 --> 00:11:02.645
  • That we be honest.
  • 00:11:03.079 --> 00:11:03.979
  • We are so entitled.
  • 00:11:03.979 --> 00:11:07.049
  • We expect god to
  • 00:11:07.450 --> 00:11:08.651
  • Do whatever we want him to do.
  • 00:11:08.651 --> 00:11:11.987
  • We make appointments
  • 00:11:12.455 --> 00:11:13.456
  • That we don't keep with them.
  • 00:11:13.456 --> 00:11:16.459
  • What are some of the appointments?
  • 00:11:16.459 --> 00:11:19.195
  • Once a week we gather
  • 00:11:19.195 --> 00:11:22.164
  • Same time every single week.
  • 00:11:22.164 --> 00:11:25.201
  • We don't keep that appointment
  • 00:11:25.801 --> 00:11:27.837
  • Because of how we feel.
  • 00:11:27.837 --> 00:11:30.740
  • We make church about us.
  • 00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:33.409
  • I'll go when i feel like it.
  • 00:11:33.409 --> 00:11:36.779
  • Instead of saying, god, you've been so good to me,
  • 00:11:36.779 --> 00:11:40.015
  • The least i could do.
  • 00:11:40.516 --> 00:11:44.286
  • At the very least,
  • 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.922
  • I can do.
  • 00:11:46.922 --> 00:11:49.792
  • Is give you
  • 00:11:49.792 --> 00:11:52.495
  • My time.
  • 00:11:52.495 --> 00:11:54.130
  • I can't give you much, but i can't give you my time.
  • 00:11:54.130 --> 00:11:57.433
  • I can't give you what you've given me.
  • 00:11:58.267 --> 00:11:59.902
  • But i can return to you.
  • 00:11:59.902 --> 00:12:01.170
  • The time that you give me.
  • 00:12:01.170 --> 00:12:04.406
  • But a lazy mindset.
  • 00:12:04.874 --> 00:12:06.175
  • It's scoundrels that
  • 00:12:06.175 --> 00:12:09.044
  • We show up when we want to.
  • 00:12:09.044 --> 00:12:10.379
  • We leave when we want to.
  • 00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:12.481
  • We have to break this because
  • 00:12:13.115 --> 00:12:14.583
  • It is a poverty mindset.
  • 00:12:14.583 --> 00:12:18.387
  • The enemy doesn't need to stop you.
  • 00:12:18.387 --> 00:12:21.791
  • If you're too lazy to do what god called you to do.
  • 00:12:21.791 --> 00:12:27.530
  • Give me family.
  • 00:12:27.897 --> 00:12:29.398
  • You cannot expect god to bless what you're
  • 00:12:29.398 --> 00:12:32.034
  • Too lazy to build.
  • 00:12:32.034 --> 00:12:35.337
  • I'll say it again.
  • 00:12:35.337 --> 00:12:38.007
  • You cannot expect god to bless
  • 00:12:38.007 --> 00:12:41.477
  • What you are too lazy to build.
  • 00:12:41.477 --> 00:12:45.347
  • Some of us are waiting on god to do something.
  • 00:12:45.347 --> 00:12:49.018
  • God is like, i've already done it.
  • 00:12:49.018 --> 00:12:52.354
  • I'm waiting on you to apply it.
  • 00:12:52.354 --> 00:12:57.159
  • Medicine prescribed but not taken
  • 00:12:57.927 --> 00:13:00.896
  • Will not impact your life.
  • 00:13:00.896 --> 00:13:03.933
  • God has given us the word of god,
  • 00:13:04.667 --> 00:13:07.002
  • And some of us are like, i'm just waiting on god.
  • 00:13:07.002 --> 00:13:10.172
  • It's patiently waiting.
  • 00:13:10.673 --> 00:13:13.309
  • He use scripture
  • 00:13:13.309 --> 00:13:15.344
  • To counterfeit your laziness.
  • 00:13:15.344 --> 00:13:17.847
  • Wait on the lord and be of good courage again i say, wait.
  • 00:13:17.847 --> 00:13:27.356
  • Let patience have it's
  • 00:13:27.823 --> 00:13:29.191
  • Perfect work that aint what its talkin about.
  • 00:13:29.191 --> 00:13:32.862
  • When god has already given you his word,
  • 00:13:33.696 --> 00:13:35.698
  • His commandment, his instruction,
  • 00:13:35.698 --> 00:13:37.766
  • His desire for your life, and you sit on that.
  • 00:13:37.766 --> 00:13:39.935
  • That's called disobedience.
  • 00:13:39.935 --> 00:13:42.238
  • When you partially applied the word of god, partial
  • 00:13:42.238 --> 00:13:44.807
  • Obedience is still disobedience.
  • 00:13:44.807 --> 00:13:48.177
  • You know what to do.
  • 00:13:48.177 --> 00:13:49.578
  • But there's a spirit of laziness at work on the inside of you,
  • 00:13:49.578 --> 00:13:52.481
  • Holding you back from becoming the person
  • 00:13:52.481 --> 00:13:54.550
  • That god desires for you to become.
  • 00:13:54.550 --> 00:13:56.852
  • Listen to me, family.
  • 00:13:56.852 --> 00:13:58.053
  • I don't want to preach messages that you like.
  • 00:13:58.053 --> 00:14:00.222
  • I want to preach messages that convict us all
  • 00:14:00.222 --> 00:14:02.992
  • Until we become more like jesus christ.
  • 00:14:02.992 --> 00:14:05.494
  • So this is not to tickle our flesh.
  • 00:14:05.494 --> 00:14:07.796
  • This is to push our spirit man and become into becoming mature
  • 00:14:07.796 --> 00:14:11.667
  • And growing in the things of god.
  • 00:14:11.667 --> 00:14:13.402
  • So i don't care if you don't like it.
  • 00:14:13.402 --> 00:14:15.237
  • I'm not here so that you can like what i preach.
  • 00:14:15.237 --> 00:14:17.907
  • I'm here so that we can become more like him.
  • 00:14:17.907 --> 00:14:23.879
  • When i get to heaven, you're
  • 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.781
  • Not going to be the one that lets me in.
  • 00:14:25.781 --> 00:14:30.719
  • But, pastor, we like the one you preached in january.
  • 00:14:31.787 --> 00:14:33.956
  • Come on in.
  • 00:14:33.956 --> 00:14:36.191
  • Oh, that sermon series just started in march.
  • 00:14:36.191 --> 00:14:38.427
  • That was the one that got you in
  • 00:14:38.427 --> 00:14:39.662
  • No, no.
  • 00:14:39.662 --> 00:14:40.162
  • When i get to
  • 00:14:40.162 --> 00:14:41.163
  • The seat of judgment, god is going to ask me,
  • 00:14:41.163 --> 00:14:43.165
  • Did you do what i commanded you to do?
  • 00:14:43.165 --> 00:14:45.401
  • Did you preach to them the word of god
  • 00:14:45.401 --> 00:14:47.636
  • Unfiltered, unadulterated, uncut on camera with what
  • 00:14:47.636 --> 00:14:51.407
  • Your perspective or opinion is?
  • 00:14:51.407 --> 00:14:53.108
  • Did you give them the truth?
  • 00:14:53.108 --> 00:14:54.610
  • I have to answer and serve an account to him, not to you.
  • 00:14:54.610 --> 00:15:05.087
  • I'm not here for the applauds of men and women.
  • 00:15:06.088 --> 00:15:08.357
  • I'm here for the applauds of one.
  • 00:15:08.357 --> 00:15:11.126
  • My wife.
  • 00:15:11.393 --> 00:15:12.628
  • I tell you, every single night i lay my head on that pillow.
  • 00:15:12.628 --> 00:15:15.130
  • I have to give an account.
  • 00:15:15.698 --> 00:15:18.834
  • The fourth way.
  • 00:15:19.201 --> 00:15:20.135
  • You know that
  • 00:15:20.135 --> 00:15:21.236
  • You have a poverty mindset that needs to be broken.
  • 00:15:21.236 --> 00:15:24.974
  • You have a fear of risk.
  • 00:15:25.474 --> 00:15:29.511
  • What i mean by this.
  • 00:15:29.945 --> 00:15:32.014
  • You bury what god gave you.
  • 00:15:32.014 --> 00:15:36.485
  • Matthew chapter 25, verse 24 through 25.
  • 00:15:37.319 --> 00:15:40.422
  • It says, i was afraid.
  • 00:15:40.422 --> 00:15:42.091
  • And i went out, and i hid your gold in the ground.
  • 00:15:42.091 --> 00:15:48.430
  • What does this look like today in 2024?
  • 00:15:49.298 --> 00:15:56.138
  • It looks like
  • 00:15:56.505 --> 00:15:58.907
  • Excuses we give to god when he asks us to return to him.
  • 00:15:58.907 --> 00:16:02.478
  • What he's allowed us to be a steward of.
  • 00:16:02.478 --> 00:16:07.616
  • So we use terminologies
  • 00:16:08.117 --> 00:16:09.318
  • Like god, i'm just saving
  • 00:16:09.318 --> 00:16:12.388
  • When in fact we're hiding.
  • 00:16:12.388 --> 00:16:16.492
  • God, i'm just putting this away
  • 00:16:17.126 --> 00:16:18.360
  • For a rainy day when in fact, we're burying.
  • 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.597
  • I'm not telling you not to be wise with the things
  • 00:16:22.598 --> 00:16:24.700
  • That god has called you to steward.
  • 00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:27.102
  • I'm telling you, don't be disobedient
  • 00:16:27.102 --> 00:16:28.771
  • To what he's called you to sow.
  • 00:16:28.771 --> 00:16:32.641
  • The fear of failure
  • 00:16:33.108 --> 00:16:34.009
  • Will keep you from even trying.
  • 00:16:34.009 --> 00:16:37.413
  • We need to understand that poverty
  • 00:16:38.147 --> 00:16:39.581
  • Just doesn't live in our bank accounts.
  • 00:16:39.581 --> 00:16:42.885
  • It thrives in the hearts
  • 00:16:42.885 --> 00:16:45.287
  • Of those that are too afraid to take a step of faith.
  • 00:16:45.287 --> 00:16:50.826
  • We need to understand that it is faith that multiplies.
  • 00:16:51.927 --> 00:16:54.763
  • Fear buries.
  • 00:16:54.763 --> 00:16:57.066
  • Its fear that says,
  • 00:16:57.533 --> 00:16:59.501
  • Well, what if i fail?
  • 00:16:59.501 --> 00:17:02.871
  • And it's faith that says,
  • 00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:05.474
  • What if god provides?
  • 00:17:05.474 --> 00:17:09.344
  • How do you know that
  • 00:17:09.812 --> 00:17:10.879
  • You have a poverty mindset that needs to be broken,
  • 00:17:10.879 --> 00:17:13.515
  • And you're too afraid to take risk?
  • 00:17:14.249 --> 00:17:17.419
  • I want you to hear me when i tell you
  • 00:17:17.419 --> 00:17:20.155
  • This risk is only risky when god is not in it.
  • 00:17:20.155 --> 00:17:27.863
  • God is in it.
  • 00:17:28.230 --> 00:17:30.132
  • It's called trust.
  • 00:17:30.132 --> 00:17:35.704
  • It's easy
  • 00:17:36.004 --> 00:17:36.872
  • For us to trust god when he asks us
  • 00:17:36.872 --> 00:17:39.608
  • To give $10.
  • 00:17:39.908 --> 00:17:44.847
  • It's different
  • 00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:46.081
  • When god calls us to give sacrificially.
  • 00:17:46.081 --> 00:17:50.385
  • It is fear that builds
  • 00:17:50.853 --> 00:17:52.087
  • Fences around faith.
  • 00:17:52.087 --> 00:17:55.390
  • Limits our ability
  • 00:17:55.824 --> 00:17:57.092
  • To see what god can do when he wants to do it.
  • 00:17:57.092 --> 00:18:00.762
  • So the action to this is that we pray that god would
  • 00:18:01.797 --> 00:18:04.666
  • Tear down every fence of fear that we have built in our lives.
  • 00:18:04.666 --> 00:18:10.372
  • So that we could see
  • 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.740
  • God do something supernatural
  • 00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:14.776
  • In our day,
  • 00:18:14.776 --> 00:18:17.079
  • And not die
  • 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.348
  • With purpose
  • 00:18:19.348 --> 00:18:21.617
  • And resources that god has given us
  • 00:18:21.617 --> 00:18:24.486
  • To exhaust in this life.
  • 00:18:24.486 --> 00:18:27.890
  • The fifth and final way that we know
  • 00:18:28.657 --> 00:18:30.259
  • We have a poverty mindset.
  • 00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:33.362
  • Is negative speech.
  • 00:18:33.829 --> 00:18:39.434
  • Poverty mindset
  • 00:18:39.835 --> 00:18:40.736
  • Often reveals itself in the way we talk.
  • 00:18:40.736 --> 00:18:44.006
  • If your mouth is full of lack,
  • 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:45.974
  • Don't be surprised when your life reflects it.
  • 00:18:45.974 --> 00:18:49.878
  • The first step
  • 00:18:50.212 --> 00:18:51.446
  • To breaking this mindset off of your life
  • 00:18:51.446 --> 00:18:55.350
  • Is by breaking the habit of speaking it over
  • 00:18:55.350 --> 00:18:57.953
  • Yourself.
  • 00:18:57.953 --> 00:19:02.724
  • Simply put,
  • 00:19:03.058 --> 00:19:04.326
  • Don't agree with the narrative of the enemy.
  • 00:19:04.326 --> 00:19:09.765
  • Stop coming into alignment
  • 00:19:10.332 --> 00:19:13.101
  • With what the enemy says and start
  • 00:19:13.101 --> 00:19:14.536
  • Coming into alignment with what god says about you.
  • 00:19:14.536 --> 00:19:17.739
  • So even when you don't feel like
  • 00:19:18.373 --> 00:19:19.841
  • It, you have to confess the word of god.
  • 00:19:19.841 --> 00:19:23.145
  • Even when your life does not reflect what you know god
  • 00:19:23.145 --> 00:19:26.048
  • Has said, you have to continue to confess the word of god.
  • 00:19:26.048 --> 00:19:28.784
  • What does this look like in practice?
  • 00:19:28.784 --> 00:19:30.619
  • This means that you quote and declare scripture
  • 00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:32.955
  • Over your life until your life begins
  • 00:19:32.955 --> 00:19:35.023
  • To reflect the scripture that you're quoting.
  • 00:19:35.023 --> 00:19:36.959
  • It means that you wake up in the morning
  • 00:19:36.959 --> 00:19:38.527
  • And you remind yourself, i am the head and not the tail.
  • 00:19:38.527 --> 00:19:41.430
  • I am above and not beneath.
  • 00:19:41.430 --> 00:19:43.065
  • I am the lender and not the borrower.
  • 00:19:43.065 --> 00:19:45.167
  • I will have all that god desires for me to have,
  • 00:19:45.167 --> 00:19:48.070
  • And i will so all that god desires,
  • 00:19:48.070 --> 00:19:50.038
  • And so all that i have need of his hand has provided for me.
  • 00:19:50.038 --> 00:19:54.076
  • So great is his faithfulness, not my faithfulness.
  • 00:19:54.076 --> 00:20:04.086
  • The first step to breaking this off in your life
  • 00:20:05.053 --> 00:20:08.090
  • Is about changing the way you speak.
  • 00:20:08.090 --> 00:20:09.658
  • Proverbs chapter 18, verse 21 says, death and life
  • 00:20:09.658 --> 00:20:12.828
  • Are in the power of the tongue,
  • 00:20:12.828 --> 00:20:14.696
  • And those who love it will eat its fruits.
  • 00:20:14.696 --> 00:20:17.866
  • Your tongue is the pin of your destiny.
  • 00:20:17.866 --> 00:20:20.402
  • So write wisely.
  • 00:20:20.402 --> 00:20:24.039
  • Your faith and your fear both speak to you.
  • 00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:28.577
  • You have to decide which voice you listen to.
  • 00:20:28.577 --> 00:20:34.516
  • You keep saying,
  • 00:20:34.916 --> 00:20:35.717
  • I can't, i won't, i will never.
  • 00:20:35.717 --> 00:20:39.821
  • Don't be surprised when you don't.
  • 00:20:39.821 --> 00:20:47.195
  • Never walk in abundance.
  • 00:20:47.729 --> 00:20:50.966
  • If you have tongue,
  • 00:20:50.966 --> 00:20:52.701
  • It's tied to scarcity.
  • 00:20:52.701 --> 00:20:57.806
  • So what must we do
  • 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.575
  • To break this poverty mindset?
  • 00:21:00.575 --> 00:21:03.679
  • First thing we have to do
  • 00:21:04.246 --> 00:21:06.348
  • Is renew our minds through the word of god.
  • 00:21:06.348 --> 00:21:09.985
  • Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
  • 00:21:09.985 --> 00:21:13.989
  • We need the word of god.
  • 00:21:13.989 --> 00:21:16.491
  • How does faith come?
  • 00:21:16.491 --> 00:21:17.559
  • Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing.
  • 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:22.698
  • That's why
  • 00:21:22.698 --> 00:21:23.932
  • Being in environments like this are so important to our faith.
  • 00:21:23.932 --> 00:21:27.969
  • Because we hear the word of god,
  • 00:21:27.969 --> 00:21:30.005
  • And we are around
  • 00:21:30.005 --> 00:21:30.939
  • Other brothers and sisters
  • 00:21:30.939 --> 00:21:32.474
  • That are on this journey of faith with us that keep a sharp
  • 00:21:32.474 --> 00:21:36.311
  • Because our sharpens.
  • 00:21:36.311 --> 00:21:37.846
  • And so
  • 00:21:37.846 --> 00:21:39.081
  • We must hear the word of god and hear the word of god again,
  • 00:21:39.081 --> 00:21:42.651
  • And never get tired of hearing the word of god.
  • 00:21:42.651 --> 00:21:52.494
  • Renew our minds by the word of god.
  • 00:21:53.295 --> 00:21:54.696
  • The second thing that we must do to break
  • 00:21:54.696 --> 00:21:56.131
  • This poverty mindset is pray for wisdom and discernment.
  • 00:21:56.131 --> 00:21:59.901
  • Pray that god will move the scales from our eyes,
  • 00:21:59.901 --> 00:22:02.437
  • The hindrances from our ears, the blockages in our heart.
  • 00:22:02.437 --> 00:22:05.741
  • Pray that we would see the hand
  • 00:22:05.741 --> 00:22:07.409
  • Of jesus at work in our day like never before.
  • 00:22:07.409 --> 00:22:11.012
  • Pray that we would be a part
  • 00:22:11.012 --> 00:22:12.647
  • Of this holy work that he is calling us
  • 00:22:12.647 --> 00:22:14.883
  • To be a part of,
  • 00:22:14.883 --> 00:22:16.017
  • By contributing what it is that we have and returning
  • 00:22:16.017 --> 00:22:19.121
  • Back to him what it is he's allowed us to be a steward over.
  • 00:22:19.121 --> 00:22:22.023
  • May we forever make much of the name of
  • 00:22:22.023 --> 00:22:25.427
  • Jesus because he has made much of our lives.
  • 00:22:25.427 --> 00:22:28.797
  • May we pray for godly wisdom and discernment
  • 00:22:28.797 --> 00:22:32.067
  • To open up our hearts, to see what it is that only
  • 00:22:32.067 --> 00:22:35.337
  • He can show us.
  • 00:22:35.337 --> 00:22:39.641
  • So we must
  • 00:22:39.941 --> 00:22:40.809
  • Pray that he would renew our minds,
  • 00:22:40.809 --> 00:22:41.943
  • And we must pray for godly wisdom and discernment.
  • 00:22:41.943 --> 00:22:44.279
  • But the next thing
  • 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.313
  • That we have to do to break the spirit off of us,
  • 00:22:45.313 --> 00:22:47.549
  • That we must give generously.
  • 00:22:47.549 --> 00:22:50.652
  • Is only generosity that breaks
  • 00:22:51.253 --> 00:22:52.754
  • The spirit of greed off of us, because by nature we are greedy
  • 00:22:52.754 --> 00:22:57.025
  • Or greedy people.
  • 00:22:57.459 --> 00:22:58.560
  • When we came out of our mother's womb.
  • 00:22:58.560 --> 00:23:00.529
  • We came out saying no.
  • 00:23:00.529 --> 00:23:05.300
  • No, no,
  • 00:23:05.534 --> 00:23:08.970
  • We have to break that
  • 00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:11.740
  • So that every time god asks us for something,
  • 00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:13.575
  • Our response is yes,
  • 00:23:13.575 --> 00:23:15.844
  • Yes to your will,
  • 00:23:15.844 --> 00:23:18.313
  • Yes to your way.
  • 00:23:18.313 --> 00:23:20.782
  • Use me. god.
  • 00:23:20.782 --> 00:23:23.819
  • I want to be used by you.
  • 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:27.989
  • Vessel an instrument.
  • 00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:33.528
  • A jar that's holding
  • 00:23:33.995 --> 00:23:35.997
  • The oil of god.
  • 00:23:35.997 --> 00:23:39.668
  • Being poured out in the earth.
  • 00:23:40.268 --> 00:23:43.939
  • Paul said at the end of his life.
  • 00:23:44.673 --> 00:23:48.143
  • My life has been poured.
  • 00:23:48.143 --> 00:23:51.413
  • Out like a glass of.
  • 00:23:51.413 --> 00:23:54.683
  • The god has used me
  • 00:23:55.150 --> 00:23:56.318
  • Down to the very last straw.
  • 00:23:56.318 --> 00:23:59.387
  • That's my prayer for you and me.
  • 00:23:59.387 --> 00:24:00.755
  • That at the end of our lives will be empty of every god
  • 00:24:00.755 --> 00:24:04.125
  • Given purpose and plan that he's placed on the inside of us,
  • 00:24:04.125 --> 00:24:07.863
  • And our tunes in our caskets, in our graves.
  • 00:24:07.863 --> 00:24:10.699
  • We might be filled with purpose and resources and plans,
  • 00:24:10.699 --> 00:24:14.569
  • But we would die empty because we live for lives
  • 00:24:14.569 --> 00:24:18.373
  • That we ran in the purpose
  • 00:24:18.373 --> 00:24:20.509
  • And in the plan that god desired for us to run in heaven.
  • 00:24:20.509 --> 00:24:24.279
  • It's not looking to fill your pockets.
  • 00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:26.681
  • Heaven is looking to help you fulfill your god given purpose.
  • 00:24:26.681 --> 00:24:30.018
  • And my prayer is that we would be a community on fire,
  • 00:24:30.018 --> 00:24:33.588
  • Going after the lost and allowing him to see
  • 00:24:33.588 --> 00:24:37.058
  • That life is bleak without the hope of jesus.
  • 00:24:37.058 --> 00:24:40.095
  • But all things are possible to those that believe.
  • 00:24:40.095 --> 00:24:48.637
  • That is the gospel that we preach.
  • 00:24:49.404 --> 00:24:53.041
  • That is why jesus
  • 00:24:53.475 --> 00:24:55.977
  • Gives us.
  • 00:24:55.977 --> 00:24:56.945
  • Luke chapter 16, verse nine.
  • 00:24:56.945 --> 00:25:00.081
  • Use resources wisely.
  • 00:25:00.081 --> 00:25:05.854
  • Well we're out of time for today's message.
  • 00:25:06.721 --> 00:25:08.957
  • But i sure do pray this message was a blessing to you.
  • 00:25:08.957 --> 00:25:13.628
  • If it was, would you prayerfully consider partnering with us?
  • 00:25:13.628 --> 00:25:17.566
  • Help us continue to spread the message
  • 00:25:17.566 --> 00:25:20.435
  • Of jesus christ to the world.
  • 00:25:20.435 --> 00:25:22.637
  • It's because of your generosity and incredible partners
  • 00:25:22.637 --> 00:25:25.440
  • Like yourself
  • 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:26.575
  • That we're able to continue to reach people in hard
  • 00:25:26.575 --> 00:25:29.678
  • To reach places with the gospel that we believe in.
  • 00:25:29.678 --> 00:25:33.782
  • And so my prayer is that as this message has moved you,
  • 00:25:33.782 --> 00:25:37.252
  • It has moved you out of counterfeit comfort.
  • 00:25:37.252 --> 00:25:40.055
  • My prayer
  • 00:25:40.055 --> 00:25:40.922
  • Is that you have a desire to partner
  • 00:25:40.922 --> 00:25:42.490
  • With us, to help people move out of counterfeit
  • 00:25:42.490 --> 00:25:44.793
  • Comfort as well.

  • We would love to align our faith with yours, to see
  • 00:26:00.275 --> 00:26:04.412
  • The will of god come to life in your life.
  • 00:26:04.412 --> 00:26:08.883
  • Right now, i'm going to pray for those that may be watching,
  • 00:26:08.883 --> 00:26:12.087
  • That may not have a relationship with jesus.
  • 00:26:12.087 --> 00:26:14.756
  • You may be tuned in right now and you want to know about this
  • 00:26:14.756 --> 00:26:17.726
  • Savior that you've heard me teach about.
  • 00:26:17.726 --> 00:26:20.528
  • Right now is your opportunity
  • 00:26:20.528 --> 00:26:23.064
  • To get into a relationship with him, to develop this,
  • 00:26:23.064 --> 00:26:26.968
  • This relationship, this walk that can't be explained
  • 00:26:26.968 --> 00:26:31.940
  • With human words only experienced.
  • 00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:35.477
  • And i want you to repeat this prayer after me,
  • 00:26:35.477 --> 00:26:37.879
  • Lord jesus, come into my heart.
  • 00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:41.016
  • I turn away from my sin and my selfish desires.
  • 00:26:41.016 --> 00:26:44.686
  • I want a relationship with you.
  • 00:26:44.686 --> 00:26:46.955
  • I want to walk away from the things that have led me
  • 00:26:46.955 --> 00:26:50.492
  • Further away from
  • 00:26:50.925 --> 00:26:51.826
  • You, and i want to walk towards you.

  • I believe that you are my master,
  • 00:26:56.831 --> 00:26:58.700
  • And i believe that you are my savior.
  • 00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:00.935
  • And it is in your name that we pray in the name of jesus.
  • 00:27:00.935 --> 00:27:04.673
  • Amen.
