From Vision to Reality: Trusting God's Word and Walking in His Promises

https://youtube.com/live/0eFUtYZfFWo

In the journey of faith, we often receive divine visions and promises from God that ignite a spark within our hearts. These visions can be life-changing, filled with hope and purpose. However, transitioning from vision to reality requires more than just dreaming. It calls for unwavering trust in God's word and the courage to step out in faith. In this article, we will explore the transformative power of trusting God's word and how walking in His promises can bring our visions to fruition.

Embracing God's Promises

At the core of every vision lies God's promises. As believers, we are called to embrace and hold on to these promises with unwavering faith. It starts with immersing ourselves in His word, studying the Scriptures, and discovering the promises He has revealed to us. Whether it's a promise of restoration, provision, or purpose, God's word is our foundation for stepping into the fulfillment of our visions.

Nurturing Trust in God:

Trusting God's word requires cultivating a deep and intimate relationship with Him. It involves surrendering our doubts, fears, and insecurities, and placing our complete reliance on His faithfulness. Trust is built through consistent prayer, meditating on His promises, and seeking His guidance. As we lean on God and trust in His character, our faith grows, empowering us to move forward with confidence.

Stepping Out in Faith

While trusting God's word is vital, it must be accompanied by action. Stepping out in faith means taking tangible steps towards the fulfillment of our visions, even when they seem impossible. It requires venturing beyond our comfort zones and embracing the unknown, knowing that God is with us every step of the way. As we obediently follow His lead, doors will open, and opportunities will arise, aligning us with His divine plan.

Overcoming Obstacles:

The journey from vision to reality is seldom without obstacles. Challenges may arise, causing doubt and discouragement. However, when we firmly trust in God's word, we can face these obstacles with unwavering resolve. Through prayer, seeking wisdom, and relying on God's strength, we can overcome any hindrances that come our way. God's promises remain steadfast, and He equips us with the necessary tools to persevere.

Celebrating the Manifestation:

As we continue to trust God's word and walk in His promises, we witness the transformation of our visions into reality. Every step taken in faith brings us closer to the fulfillment of our dreams. It is important to celebrate these milestones, giving glory to God for His faithfulness. The journey doesn't end with one manifestation; it becomes a testimony that encourages others to trust in God's word and walk boldly in their own visions.

Conclusion:

Trusting God's word and walking in His promises is a remarkable journey that leads us from vision to reality. By embracing His promises, nurturing trust, stepping out in faith, and overcoming obstacles, we position ourselves to see our visions come to fruition. Let us remember that God's word is our foundation, His faithfulness unwavering, and His plans for us are greater than we can imagine. As we trust in Him, we can confidently embark on the path towards our dreams, knowing that He will guide us every step of the way.

H ow to grow my relationship with God

Growing your relationship with God is a deeply personal journey that can be different for everyone. Here are some general steps you can take to strengthen your relationship with God:

Develop a daily practice of prayer and meditation: Spend time each day praying, meditating, and reflecting on your spiritual journey. This can be done through personal devotions, reading spiritual texts, attending church services or spiritual retreats.
Study sacred texts: Take the time to read and study sacred texts such as the Bible, Quran, Bhagavad Gita, or other spiritual texts that are relevant to your faith. This will help you deepen your understanding of your faith and provide guidance on how to live a more spiritually fulfilling life.
Practice gratitude: Take time each day to express gratitude for the blessings in your life, including your relationships, health, and spiritual journey. Recognizing and being thankful for the good things in your life can help you develop a deeper appreciation for God's presence in your life.
Serve others: One of the best ways to deepen your relationship with God is by serving others. Volunteer at a local shelter, food bank, or community center. This will allow you to practice kindness, generosity, and compassion, all of which are qualities that are valued by many spiritual traditions.
Build community: Surround yourself with others who share your spiritual values and beliefs. Join a faith-based community or attend religious services regularly. This will provide you with a support network of like-minded individuals who can help you stay connected to your faith and grow spiritually.

Remember that developing a relationship with God is a lifelong journey, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Be patient, persistent, and open to learning and growth as you embark on this journey.

I Can't Lose | Giving From God's Standard | Internet Church | Deep Waters Community Church

https://youtu.be/-MC40zT92Vo

00:00:10:17 - 00:00:36:07

Unknown

Good morning, Deep Waters. How are we? A man? Praise the Lord. I heard some very interesting things about our church last night. And so before I get started Paul and Betsy are you’ll cool, I heard the Alamo thing was a pretty. Just. I want to make sure marriages.

00:00:36:07 - 00:01:03:14

Unknown

All right, Shawn, Tonya, y'all are good, then. You know, it was about to become a whole another party last night. After a few stories, I said, you know what, David Monson at the Sunday six service at Liberty Church. He used to open up the service every day. He was the care pastor the co-pastor he would say welcome to Sunday six where no what would he say?

00:01:03:14 - 00:01:32:08

Unknown

No. Perfect people are allowed. Welcome to the Deep Waters Community Church. Well, apparently no perfect people are allowed. So I. And there we go. There we go. Here we go. Here we go. I mean, you know, people don’t realize, when I make jokes about our church and, you know, how laid back and very unusually normal we are, you know, come to a party.

00:01:32:22 - 00:01:52:19

Unknown

Yeah. You'll realize what I'm talking about and realize what you're missing and hopefully come back. So I really hated that. I missed it, you know? And I started feeling that Sunday at the ahh.. i’ll kick this in the couple of days it was not going away and at night it would get worse. And Brandy would call each morning and I'll answer the phone.

00:01:52:19 - 00:02:10:15

Unknown

Hello? She like, Oh, okay, you don't sound well, you know. And I had three goals. My first goal was, I don't want to be sick when Brandy comes back home from Columbus. My second one is, I don't want to be sick because I want to go to the party. And my third one was Lord, At least, you know, what am I going to do about Sunday?

00:02:11:19 - 00:02:30:00

Unknown

Well, Brandy came home Friday and told me I had cooties and she was not sleeping with me. I said, okay, I have what you got cooties? And then she said, On the other side, we got two couches. I sit here, she says. She sat all the way on the other side of the couch. I'm like, well that ain’t gonna make me feel better.

00:02:30:20 - 00:02:46:04

Unknown

You'll be okay. And then I was. And then I woke up, cooked everything for the baked beans. I'm sitting on the couch and she comes downstairs and I look at it. She said, You still right? And then no. So I'm not going to be able to make it to the party. I said, But I should be able to get it together to do Sunday.

00:02:46:22 - 00:03:21:08

Unknown

And so today is going to be pretty short, but you know, it's going to be good. So Lord, we just thank you for deep waters humility church Father, we thank you for the word that you have for us today. We lift you up in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. All right. Let's start with Matthew seven, starting at verse seven, and it says this ask and it will be given to you seek and you will find knock in the door will be open to you for everyone who asks, receives the one who seeks finds and the one who knocks the door will be open to him.

00:03:21:08 - 00:03:44:25

Unknown

Now let's go back to verse seven. If you hold that there for me. All right. So we have three actions right here. We have asking, seeking and knocking. Asking involves what? Speaking. That's. That's you talking. That's your voice. That's your word. The second thing is seeking. That's looking or finding. Or as we've come into the understanding, imagining. So you're asking.

00:03:44:25 - 00:04:11:21

Unknown

You're thinking, you're imagining. Knocking is taking action. So you're asking. You're seeking and you're taking action on everything that you're that you're desiring for. Everyone who ask verse eight is going to receive and the one who seeks will find and the one who takes action will receive what the taking action not know this as much as I've put this in the positive.

00:04:11:21 - 00:04:30:09

Unknown

This works in the positive and the negative. That was one thing Christine said last week. She pointed out. She said, well, you know, that works both ways. And so because, you know, we we told our kids when they have been in trouble, what you're asking for it know you're asking for it now. They're really not asking for it.

00:04:30:09 - 00:05:13:13

Unknown

But their conduct, their action means they're asking for and sometimes their words they're asking for. And also we say all the time, if you are looking for trouble, what you will find in the case. So whatever you're asking for, seeker for, looking for it works in both ways. Which is, which is perfect. Well what we talk about and being a believer in in faith is because all of these things are neutral and so you're going to get from God what you are desiring to get from God, which, which is important to what we talked about, the depth, the profound this and that's that's so profound because how profound you see a thing is going to

00:05:13:13 - 00:05:38:04

Unknown

determine how much value you get from it. And so how valuable we see church, how valuable we see God, how valuable we see a relationship with God. And that's we're going to focus today on how valuable you see giving is, is going to determine how much you get from it. Now, Pastor Brandi says some last week she says she really appreciates that.

00:05:38:04 - 00:06:16:20

Unknown

When I talk about giving I just don't focus on finances because most giving sermons are always focused on giving financially and it's always focused on, you know, your giving to the church, your tithe is your offering. And the reason I don't centrally focus on that is because giving can be in many forms, in many ways. And if we understand giving, when you have to give patience, when you have to give endurance, when you have to give counsel, when you have to hold your tongue, when you have to give up something you love.

00:06:17:03 - 00:06:51:17

Unknown

If we understand again all those pieces, then giving financially becomes very small. It just becomes a normal part of giving because we're supposed to be givers. That is our nature. And often times the church is very good at giving financially, but we're really horrible at forgiveness and that interesting, you know, we could build huge churches all over the world, but when it talks about forgiveness, we still struggle with forgiveness, even though when we forgive, who are we actually forgiving ourselves?

00:06:51:17 - 00:07:12:08

Unknown

Because the scripture says forgive and you shall be forgiving, do not condemn. And so those are all pieces that we still need to understand. That's part of the giving nature of who we're supposed to be. We're supposed to be unlimited givers. Or, as it says in the New Testament, God loves a cheerful giver, but cheerful is actually the word hilarious.

00:07:13:25 - 00:07:33:29

Unknown

So God wants us to give her hilariously and makes you understand what the what turn the other cheek means. If they ask for your shirt, give them their clothes. If they want you to go one mile, go to how they even ask Jesus, how often should I forgive my brother? He said, seven times. And what did Jesus say?

00:07:34:11 - 00:08:22:29

Unknown

Seven times? 70, 490 times. I got to forgive them for hurt. I'll be forgiving them for ever. That's the point. If you just think I have unlimited ability to forgive, I have an unlimited ability to. I forgive so much that that before the action is given, I've already forgiven. I can forgive so much that before I'm wronged, forgiveness is already there in place.

00:08:22:29 - 00:08:51:23

Unknown

I don't I don't have to wait to forgive because I have already forgiven. So I don't I don't have to wait to forgive. Now, I'm not saying that's me. I'm saying that's the way we need to be. Okay. So I'm not saying that's me. I'm still working on that. Okay. But that's where the gap means a gap. A means a love before there is a reason to love.

00:08:51:23 - 00:09:28:09

Unknown

It's it's it's already there. It's it's like time in the spiritual realm. It's unlimited. It's. But ever I love for ever I give for ever before. I have to forgive. I forgive before I have to love I love Why? Because God set the standard be while we were yet sinners he sent his son while we were still in wrong and shame.

00:09:28:18 - 00:09:58:08

Unknown

Forgiveness was already there. See? So. So that's how we're supposed to live our life of forgiveness. Okay, now let's see. Now, the key to what we talked about already. Now, the kingdom standard, as we talked about last week, is based upon what? Sacrifice the kingdom standards based upon sacrifice. And the standard was set by God, it was set by God and John 316 For God's love, the word that He was gave, he gave his only son.

00:09:58:21 - 00:10:25:03

Unknown

Now, this was first promised in Genesis. And if we go to Genesis 315, this is the first time that the promise of the son was there in Genesis 315 says, And I will put enmity between you and the woman. Enmity means hostility between you and the woman, between your offspring or hers. He's talking to the serpent, by the way, and he will crush your head and you will strike his heel.

00:10:25:04 - 00:10:55:18

Unknown

Not in this scripture most of the time. When I first heard that word, enmity between you and the woman was between the serpent and the woman. And it was like and I don't understand why I even accept this back then. There's like but that's why, you know, women are afraid of snakes. That's doubtful. And listen in here, I'm certain I'm telling you, straight faced and and so I was looking at a few commentaries.

00:10:56:27 - 00:11:34:07

Unknown

One of the commentaries said and women are more pensively, afraid of snakes to this day. And I said, that is the most crazy. Yes. Nonsense that people believe that. Right. But that was part of the the I don't know, misunderstanding of what the scripture was saying. And so when first off, when God was speaking to the serpent, then to Eve, then to Adam under that under the the Old Testament, thinking God calls good and God caused evil.

00:11:35:01 - 00:12:01:04

Unknown

God did both of them good and evil under a redemptive nature. We understand the absence of God produces bad things. And so it wasn't that God was cursing them as a result of your sin. This is what's going to happen as a result of your failure. This is what's going to happen as a result of disobedience. This is what's going to happen.

00:12:01:04 - 00:12:49:12

Unknown

And there is going to be hostility between you and the woman, between your offspring and hers in the Scripture actually says, between the hurt, you're hurt your seed. And hers now was really focusing more on the offspring and not necessarily just her. It was really pointing to the seed that it was really trying to define. If we go Galatians 316, an example of this is when Paul says the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his what seed scripture does not say, and to seeds meaning many people, but and to your seed meaning one person who is Christ.

00:12:49:23 - 00:13:18:12

Unknown

So whenever you start, whenever we see that that word seed, it was always referring to one person. Then let's go back to Genesis. So that one person, that he was referring to was Jesus. So there is going to be a hostility between the serpent and or what the serpent represents, which is disobedience, which is failure, which is sin, which is coming this which is all those things.

00:13:18:17 - 00:13:47:12

Unknown

And her seed, which is Jesus the Christ. And we saw this when Jesus went after He was baptized, He went out to be tempted by the devil. And the words the devil used was, If you be the Son of God, then he used the same challenge. Did not really say, Did God really say that? This is all pointing to the same thing in Christ.

00:13:47:21 - 00:14:19:11

Unknown

All right. Now this was the precedent that he was talking about when he was focused on the coming messiah is the sacrifice. Now, if we go to Luke 638 Okay, let's start bringing this together. Luke 638 It says give and it would be giving you a good measure. Pressed down, shaking together and running over will be pointing to your lap full with the measure or the amount of sacrifice that you use, it will be measured back to you.

00:14:20:07 - 00:14:54:29

Unknown

So the standard is sacrifice. How valuable the sacrifice is up to you now. It's not about everybody else, but it's really how much that sacrifice is to you. Okay? Some people go, well, if you go right, you're going to have to cut out sugar. That sacrifice may be harder for some people than it is for other people. I've told that story when Brandi started working on cutting out caffeine on vacation.

00:14:56:11 - 00:15:21:21

Unknown

I don't know if the sacrifice was us or her. We definitely were in the line of fire, but it was. But it was a huge sacrifice. Okay. When you have to cut out sweets, it's a sacrifice. When you get a doctor's report and they tell you, you know, you need to start exercise, you need to be changing your diet, those sacrifices.

00:15:21:21 - 00:15:38:08

Unknown

Now, some people, it's nothing. It could be nothing. I'll use Professor Brain. There's another example. She would go on these different course. You learn different lifestyle evenings and she'll just decide to do it and just do it, you know, the next day just decide to do it. She's like, I can cut this telling me like this and she'll just do it.

00:15:38:08 - 00:15:58:10

Unknown

You know, other people got to think about it. You know, they got to process it for a minute. They got to walk their way into it. They got to stair stepping into it. And so sometimes some things are easier for some folks, some some are not easier for others. You know, I'm about to start going back to the gym, but at the gym for about three weeks, going back to the gym is not a sacrifice for me.

00:15:59:03 - 00:16:23:16

Unknown

I like going to the gym. I like lifting weights, I like working out. The pain of working out does not bother me. It's just a part of the process that doesn't bother me. Other people that may be an issue for them. They may not like going to the gym. They may not like going through the process. So some sacrifices for some people may be a bigger sacrifice to others.

00:16:23:16 - 00:16:46:29

Unknown

I mean, I'm around this down a little bit more. Some people, one of the biggest sacrifices is holding your mouth, coating your tongue. Okay. And pass the brandy is really good. I like it. First off, I use y'all as examples because I love y'all and y'all are funny. I know everybody and my kids and everybody. My whole family knows this, that everything is a story.

00:16:46:29 - 00:17:11:08

Unknown

Everything's going to end up in the sermon somehow, someway. Okay. And so, you know, so I use pass the brandy a lot of my sermons because she's funny, she does funny things. And so and I use Paul and Betsy because they're the funniest people in the and I top has to bring this the other day I said the Lord could not have blessed us with with any any other associate pastor so wonderful the past the Paula past the Betsy.

00:17:12:10 - 00:17:38:20

Unknown

They are fun. They are pleasant. They are easy to be with. And they are the complete opposite of who we are. You want to talk about Brandy and Betsy? There's you know, they say they grew up on the opposite sides of the street, in the opposite sides of the track. No. They grew up in two different continents completely.

00:17:38:27 - 00:18:04:27

Unknown

But they both have a passion for healing. And that's kind of where the unity came from, from healing. And so, you know, I, I like to use y'all as examples because you all are just fun people. And Tommy Reese is hilarious to pick on all the time. So, so I mean, that's just a free one any time. But anyway, talking about sacrifice, talk about the stuff, it's it's all about a sacrifice.

00:18:05:04 - 00:18:40:29

Unknown

And so but but in that some sacrifices are harder than others, some things may be easier for others. One of the biggest arguments me pass the Brady have when we first got married was making up the bed. It was a big when I get out the bed, I get in the shower, I immediately get in the shower, I come back, I make up the bed right away, pass the brandy, wakes up.

00:18:41:12 - 00:19:12:13

Unknown

She's thinking about whether she's getting out the bed or not. This happened after some extensive discussion. She will coerce us to get up. She may go sit on the couch and pray for a minute. She'll journal in her book for a little while. She would decide what's next for her day, but hour later, I may hit a water run.

00:19:13:15 - 00:19:40:18

Unknown

She'll come out, she'll contemplate what she's going to wear, and then she would walk out the room. Now, what step was missed? What I just said, the obvious one is the bed. So we were and I couldn't understand how hard it could be to just I mean, it's about 2 minutes out of the end of the whole process.

00:19:41:03 - 00:20:04:22

Unknown

Just make up the bed. She her thoughts were we getting back into it? Nobody's coming in our bedroom anyway. It's our room. The doors closed, the kids. And if the kids come in, they go climb in the bed anyway. So why make it up if I'm coming back to it? It's like having a plate of food at Thanksgiving.

00:20:04:22 - 00:20:26:14

Unknown

Don't throw my plate away. What I done with it. So she treats the bed the same way I'm about to get back in it. Me I'm fussing. Just make the bed up. If you just make it up because I like to come into the room. When I come into the room, the bed is there. It's presenting itself. It's all made up.

00:20:26:17 - 00:21:00:00

Unknown

It's all done. Everything is. But you're going to waste time taking all the pillows back off. We you kind of left them all off anyway and just got in the bed. And I'm telling you, for five years this was a serious discussion. So then she made the sacrifice and would make up the bed. And then it turned into another argument because I would walk in and not notice her sacrifice.

00:21:00:00 - 00:21:31:18

Unknown

So I would walk in, go straight to do things. We'll be downstairs. And she is upset now, of course, when your wife is upset, Armin, understand? She's mad at me. If I'm upset, she figures you're mad at somebody. But I already know she's mad at me. So what did I do? Okay, so we start the negotiations. Are you okay?

00:21:31:19 - 00:22:16:06

Unknown

I'm fine. You don't seem fine. I'm fine. So what's wrong? Nothing. All right. Something has to be bothering you. So we're going to talk about this or not? No. Well, your response tells me that something's wrong. So are you going to tell me what's wrong? Did you not even notice? Now you don't want to say. See, Paul, you messed up, see?

00:22:16:07 - 00:22:44:15

Unknown

And Becks is like, Yep, yeah. You don't say I this what? You don't say that, guys, you do not say notice what so. So when you get asked that question, did you not even notice you even got to come clean right away or you have to ask a question. So I ask the question, what did I not notice the bed?

00:22:45:11 - 00:23:12:05

Unknown

The follow up is not what about it so quickly? I go through the room and I realize the bed. It's me. You made the bed? Yeah, I made the bed up for you. That up? I didn't even notice. I'm sorry I made the. But thank you very much for making the better room. Which does not mean you're forgiven.

00:23:13:22 - 00:23:37:18

Unknown

Go thy way. Your sense of clean. It just means next time That's what that means. Next time. So next time I come in the room, it's not me. Now, here's the thing. You can't talk about the bed not being made after she's made the bed. She's so pretty much my argument is ceased because she did it once and I didn't notice.

00:23:37:26 - 00:23:57:08

Unknown

So now it's upon me to keep my. Now I got to make a sacrifice. You see, watching this is great. This great story is great. So I got to make a sacrifice. So now when she does make up the bed, I say, great job making of the bed. Thank you for making up the bed. Great job thinking of the bed.

00:23:57:10 - 00:24:13:22

Unknown

They make a little bit. It was hit and miss. It was hit and miss was hit miss and it had to be ten years, ten years before. If I got up I would make the bed. If she wasn't there or sometimes this would be funny, she would be in the bed and I'll make up my side of the bed.

00:24:14:26 - 00:24:29:11

Unknown

I'm like, you know, you can stay in the bed if she likes you. You going to make up the bed with me in it? I'm like, You can stay on your side of the bed, but I'll put the pillows up on my side of the bed. I got my side bed order and when you get out, you can make up yours.

00:24:29:11 - 00:24:52:12

Unknown

You can leave your side. We got separate things. You can leave your sink during this. I got my seat. You. We did that. And so then she just started making up the balance sheet out and she would just do it and she would just do it as she was just do it and and she would just make up the bed and she would no longer wait for me to say, baby, do you know, thank you for making up the bed.

00:24:52:21 - 00:25:19:11

Unknown

She just now here's the thing that we came to after after 20 years. This is what we came to. We just if she made it or not, it didn't bother me if she when she made the bed or not. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. And if she made up the bed, she wasn't expecting me to come in and say good job or anything anymore.

00:25:19:11 - 00:25:49:20

The the once you get into the place where the sacrifice is habitual and it's just, it's just nothing, it produces something that we all want. It's called freedom. It's just it's just freedom. So. So if she if I come in the business made it doesn't bother me. I'll just make it up. If I come in and the bed is made, it doesn't bother her if I say something or not.

00:25:49:20 - 00:26:18:11

Unknown

Because we found freedom. The sacrifice that we've made in the short term, produced long term freedom, the sacrifice we make in the short term. Now, in the beginning, it's hard. In the beginning it was difficult. In the beginning we told you the whole story we had. That was 20 years, y'all. We've been together 30 years. We've been married 27 the last seven years.

00:26:19:18 - 00:26:53:23

Unknown

We found freedom. Last seven years we found freely my you. We've been pastoring for five years, right? Just to let you know, the bad situation was resolved before we took office. But listen, but but that sacrifice over time produced freedom. Now, you can take that. It's a funny example, but it was it was very serious. Okay. And you could take that you get expanded out throughout your life.

00:26:53:23 - 00:27:21:03

Unknown

Sometimes you have coworkers, sometimes you have kids, sometimes you have friends that you have to make a sacrifice for. Sometimes the sacrifices tolerating them, sometimes the sacrifices even keeping the relationship. Sometimes the sacrifice is walking away from a relationship. Sometimes the sacrifice can be negotiating, compromising. Sometimes the sacrifice can be not compromising at all. Sometimes the sacrifice is changing your expectations.

00:27:21:12 - 00:27:43:25

Unknown

Other the times the sacrifice can be upholding your expectations and your standards and see and whatever that is, is the value of what that is. It's going to determine what you get from the kingdom. Now to you, let me let me use this one story real quick. There was a story in the Bible with the woman with the two minds.

00:27:44:13 - 00:28:12:28

Unknown

You know the story. She had two pennies and Jesus was watching them come bring their offering. And he watched this woman bring the two pennies. And what did he say? She gave more than everybody else because she came, but because what she gave out, she gave from her loss in her back. So now others will look at that and go, Well, that's nothing.

00:28:12:28 - 00:28:42:19

Unknown

That's nothing. That's all that is. It's just the just two pennies. That's all that is. She she's not giving what I'm giving. No, it's equal in the kingdom because it's based upon the value. So so they're both they're both equal. Another one we talked about was the woman with the oil. She called the oil what? Nothing. That oil ended up becoming everything.

00:28:42:19 - 00:29:08:10

Unknown

But she looked at it as all I got is this oil, which to me is nothing but the profits it that's valuable. That's valuable. You got to sacrifice that oil. You know what? You're going to go out. You're going to talk to your friends again. You're going to get these these bases to put them in these jars. You're going to pour that oil into all these jars and the oil run out to the fill up all the jars.

00:29:08:10 - 00:29:40:19

Unknown

Now go sell it and live on the rest. Pay all your debts and live on the rest. See, that's always going to be pays the based upon the value. Now this is cool. This is cool. This is really, really cool. God was the first to call. Giving is sacrifice. That's what the core of it is. Then we have now the ability to look at what we're giving and we call it what it is.

00:29:41:17 - 00:30:10:10

Unknown

So once community church, we give off, we we bring gifts. We don't call the times and offerings anymore because based upon what the scriptures say, but we give financial gifts. You have the ability to determine the value of that gift, how valuable it is now, I'm not talking about buy, but some of it can be by amount. Some of it can be from your your from where you're giving from.

00:30:10:24 - 00:30:30:11

Unknown

Some of it can be, I declare, see each week when I when I make a declaration that the anointing that is on the wall, this community church is on you and that the anointing that is in this message is on you is because I'm naming that offering that gift that you're giving. I'm naming it I'm calling it something.

00:30:30:28 - 00:30:55:13

Unknown

I'm calling that gift and a connection to the anointing that is on deep waters community church and these messages I'm stepping out so so as you as you give I'm calling it something here, Lord, that gift that they give is a transaction of the anointing that is that you have placed on this church is transferred into their light.

00:30:55:18 - 00:31:22:00

Unknown

So they get words of wisdom, words and all. It's covering healing, ability, prophecies, insight, wisdom, because that's all that is. On what is community church now transferring into their life where they need it the most. So if they need a word of knowledge at work, if we need the word of wisdom, if they need a prophetic insight somewhere, if they need a dream or a vision, Lord give it to them.

00:31:22:05 - 00:31:50:16

Unknown

Because that's what you put on this church, and that is what we walk in. So because we walk in it, let them walk in it because we have it on us. Let them let it be on them to see let let them have the same anoint thing that is on us, on them. Let them walk in that same ability and let it show up where they need it the most.

00:31:50:16 - 00:32:13:13

Unknown

Just not where I'm going to tell them they got they got to have it where they need it the most. Now, where I'm going to say they need to have it, where they need it the most. And let that ability grow inside of them. That that's that's what I call it. Now you your interaction, you need to name it and call it what you believe it is.

00:32:14:16 - 00:32:50:27

Unknown

I call it that when you guys give it, what are you calling it? What are you calling? You're giving are you calling it? Are you calling your sacrifice normal? Are you calling your sacrifice? Just what I have to do. Are you calling your sacrifice? It just is what it is. Are you calling your sacrifice? Toilsome? And not just talking about the financial one, but I'm talking about your sacrifice that you have to do during the week when God requires more of you than you want to give out.

00:32:50:27 - 00:33:12:09

Unknown

When God requires you to go the extra mile and you don't want to, what are you calling your sacrifice? What are you naming you? What are you saying it is? What are you declaring it to be? Are you are you just declaring are or are you just calling it nothing because if you call it nothing, then guess what?

00:33:12:09 - 00:33:38:22

Unknown

It'll be nothing. But, but, but if you name it something, you have the ability to name it. This is what it is. You can go to the store, you can see a bag of apples, and a person can look at that and call it an apple. Or if you're hero Christian, he calls off fruit. Apple, even a banana, he calls it the apple bananas.

00:33:39:03 - 00:33:55:17

Unknown

If you hear him say apple, he wants a banana. So he just calls it all the same thing. But here's the cool thing about that. He calls a banana apple. And we give him the banana and we say, here you go. So to him, he said, Apple. He got an apple. That's what he called it. That's what he got.

00:33:55:26 - 00:34:12:08

Unknown

You have the ability to walk stone. Now you can walk into the store and you can see a bus, a bag of apples, and you just call them apples. I'ma take them home and eat them. Somebody else could come in and call apple pie. I see this as apple pie. I see this as an apple cobbler. I see this as an apple cake.

00:34:13:17 - 00:34:30:10

Unknown

What are you going to call your gift? What are you going to call your giving? You know, the whole thing. We're talking about making up the bed and coming to a place of freedom. It brought us to a place of freedom. A place of oneness. We did wrestle that for 20 years, but what did I just call it?

00:34:30:18 - 00:35:01:13

Unknown

Freedom and oneness. I call it freedom and oneness. Now we come to another place in our marriage. What are you going to call your sacrifice? What are you going to call your giving? And whatever you call it is what it's going to be. And that's what you are going to get from the Kingdom of Heaven. It changes two things for us, and I'm a wrap up.

00:35:01:14 - 00:35:37:22

Unknown

It changes two things for us. It changes the changes. One, that we're not just subject to whenever I really, truly believe that as believers we have to become more conscious and a lot more are focused on our spiritual declaration. So it changes that to changes that too. Okay then what my sacrifice it I can name this but the also the other thing it changes is God sees it so you're not sacrificing on your own.

00:35:38:18 - 00:36:08:22

Unknown

God sees your sacrifice. He sees what you're going through. He, He and to the point where he identifies because because he has given up more than all he identifies with your sacrifice. He identifies with what you're doing. We have to be better at identifying what the sacrifice is. Now, next week, we're going to go to we're not going to go to Psalms today.

00:36:09:08 - 00:36:40:06

Unknown

Next week, we're going to do some 73. I taught on that and I had to be about ten, almost 15 years ago. And it's a wonderful dialog of comparison because oftentimes what we'll do is we're going to look at the rewards of our sacrifice and compare them to the and if they don't match the world, then we question our sacrifice.

00:36:40:19 - 00:37:11:27

Unknown

And Psalm 73 teaches us why we should never do that. And so we'll do that next week. Hey, man. All right, let's pray. Lord, I thank you so much, Father, that you see our giving on all forms you see, are giving are physically, emotionally, mentally in all aspects of our life. Lord and Father, I thank you so much.

Lord and I thank you so, so very, very much, Father. Let us pay attention to our giving, Father that, as we give, we make a declaration on what this is. Well, let's just be conscious, Father.

00:38:38:10 - 00:39:06:26

Unknown

Even as I always close with every gift that's given, Father, that you will return it unto each member where they need it the most. Father that the anointing that is on the wall, this community church is on them. It's the Lord. I thank you that each gift is transaction, Father. It's a connection to who you are. And we see it as valuable, just like you do.

00:39:06:26 - 00:39:36:13

Father, we thank you that you will open up heaven above them, Lord, and our blessings. They cannot contain Lord, that they can see you, and that they will reach out to us that deep, while as that C.S. force last prayer so that we may pray for them.

00:40:07:05 - 00:40:31:03

We're going to continue on this course like I said, we're going to do some 73 next week. And there's a couple of other things we're going to do. We're not going to be here Christmas and then we're going to kick off the New Year with some very interesting and insightful messages that we've got coming up.

00:01:58:21 - 00:02:17:18

Unknown

Glad to have you here, Brandy. Exactly right. We 72 hours just packed. We drove 8 hours on Wednesday, jumped out the car and I was like, I want to take you to dinner. Like, we have no kids, nothing to do. You don't have anything to do. We went to dinner and she was exactly right. We're sitting there. I'm thinking it's like 930, 10:00.

00:02:17:18 - 00:02:45:01

Unknown

We're about to wrap it up. It was 645. So when I hung out with her dad and her step mom there and spent some time there, I came back, crash Wednesday, got up, went back to her dad's house, spent some time there after there, went to her aunt's house with the rest of her family, hung out there, went back, crashed Friday, got off on Friday, did a few other what do we do on Friday?

00:02:45:01 - 00:03:09:10

Unknown

Oh, we went to visit the brother and visit some. Our family came back Friday, Christ got in the car Saturday, drove back. Yes. And so and the humidity difference was like 50 degrees. That 50% was different. It was 45 here and it was 95 there. So I've got this sinus thing cause my body does not adjust to the altitude and the humidity.

00:03:09:14 - 00:03:29:13

Unknown

And it was weird. Everybody up there was cold. The weather was like this. So we were we didn't have a jacket on. It was a little slight chill. They were cold and everybody's house was like set at 80 degrees, you know? So I was in there burning up like a few times. I would go outside the cooler. I'm on the cannot open this door right behind me.

00:03:29:13 - 00:03:44:08

Unknown

Please, can we open a window right here? If it's not bothering anyone? It was insane. So I've got this little thing going on, but we're going to make it through. All right. So exciting. Thing is, I got the website done, finally got. So if you take now this the only time I'm going to let you take out your phones during service.

00:03:44:17 - 00:04:01:23

Unknown

If you go into detail to see, see everybody pull out your phone. Going to deep waters dot, S.C. And why are you doing it? Turn your ringers off? Because I want to make sure it's all coming up on everybody's cell phone. So go to do you want to start see, seeing if you're watching us online, but if you're watching us on your cell phone, you got to wait.

00:04:01:23 - 00:04:18:15

Unknown

But if your cell phone is available, everybody go to deep waters DC. Just let me know how beautiful it needs. Just hold the phone up. Let me know. The new site came up. Great. It's. They're pretty cool. All right, so we got that. So that was like, step one. Get it up, get it running. This week we're going to get the ad conversion set up.

00:04:18:15 - 00:04:33:21

Unknown

And then I got a few other tweaks to do to the website. We're going to have a spot for porn. The ability to put the prophecies they do during the week, they'll be able to put that up on the website. This is Mark, our Brandi's block, which is going to have a whole bunch of stuff from Brandi, whatever she wants to put on there.

00:04:34:01 - 00:04:56:11

Unknown

And so it'll all be up and running. So exciting. Now, part of Paul. Put the phone away. Put the phone away. I know, but I know he wants to go live. I know everybody wants to go to the phone at the photo booth to look at the look at the pictures. And it was fun working on it because as I worked on the website, I said, Wow, we were really building a nice church and we're still building a nice church and so we're really blessed.

00:04:56:11 - 00:05:16:17

Unknown

So website is done. Amen. Okay, let's jump into the work. No more pictures. I can look at the pictures and service and leap. Exactly. So let's jump right into the word. Let's go to Matthew 7/1. All right. So Matthew seven, starting at verse seven, we're going to go 7 to 12. We reach this asking that will be given to you seeking you will find knock in the door will be open to you.

00:05:16:17 - 00:05:39:07

Unknown

Remember, we're talking about responsive for everyone who ask receives everyone who seeks finds and to the one who knocks the door will be open. So what you're asking for, seeking for knocking for you're going to get which of you if your son asks for bread, we'll give him a stone. Or if he asks for a fish, will you give him a sneak?

00:05:39:07 - 00:06:01:23

Unknown

If you then though you are evil and know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in Heaven give gifts to those who ask him? So in everything, say everything right in the Hebrew word for everything means. There you go. Perfect. So in everything, dude. Oh, my ear just opened up. Praise God.

00:06:01:28 - 00:06:28:20

Unknown

So, so in everything due to others. What you have them do to you for this thumbs up the law of the prophets. So everything in the law is wrapped up into do in everything you do, do to others what you would have them do to you. The way you want others to respond to you is the way you respond to them.

00:06:28:27 - 00:06:48:03

Unknown

It's it's what you do to them in all the law and the prophets is summed up in this. Now let's go to Luke six. Sign in verse 37. We're going to get these two. When they do, we're going to talk about some things. Do not judge a case that we just talked about. If you ask and if you seek and then you're not, you're going to get it.

00:06:48:06 - 00:07:14:28

Unknown

You're going to get what you asked for, what you're seeking for, and what you're not going for. Okay. So now we move to another one. Do not just a you and not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned, forgive and you will be forgiving, give and it will be given to you a good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap for with the same measure you use, it will be measure it to you.

00:07:14:28 - 00:07:39:00

Unknown

Now leave 638 up there for me. Okay. Now, the Kingdom of God is responsive. That means how we respond to it. It responds to us now. It's never really end the measure of what we put in. Right. There's there's always a difference. What God requires is usually a very small amount of what we're going to receive. Like Jesus.

00:07:39:00 - 00:08:04:19

Unknown

When he talked about the parable of the the mustard seed, he said it's a small seed, but it produces the largest of trees. Okay. Or we talked about the yeast in the in the dough. Small amount of yeast works through the whole the whole dough. And so it's always just a very small amount. But there's a word that really distinguishes the the response of the kingdom.

00:08:04:19 - 00:08:33:17

Unknown

It's all based upon your value. It's all based upon a value system. For instance, one three ounce of gold right now it's worth well, as of last night, I don't know what it is right now, but as of last night, at the time of this writing was $1,754.58. Now a troy ounce is 1.65 inches in length and 9.95 inches in width.

00:08:34:05 - 00:09:19:05

Unknown

So something this small in this small is worth 1700 dollars. Okay. If you take a kilogram a kilo of gold bar, which is about 32.15 troy ounces, 2.25 excuse me, Â£2.2. Â£2 of gold today is worth $56,000. So that a good a picture is about Â£2 is about the size of my cell phone. So if you had gold the size of my cell phone, we can go buy the 2023 Lincoln Aviator with it.

00:09:19:05 - 00:09:51:09

Unknown

Go this size. Lord, you see this, right? Go this size. That's all I need is go this size is worth a Lincoln eight now it's not gold the size of a Lincoln. It's go this small produces a Lincoln hundred pounds heavier, way bigger, much more broader, you would think, okay, if I want a car, don't I need gold the size of a car?

00:09:51:15 - 00:10:21:00

Unknown

No, because even though it's small, it's the value of what it is that produces a large result. So the kingdom is always going to be responsive to the value that you place on it. No matter. It doesn't matter the size. It's all about the value. Now let's talk about giving because the last one, because we talked about judging, we talked about forgiving, we talk about condemning.

00:10:21:05 - 00:10:50:14

Unknown

So let's hit this last one on giving now to give me chance to offer or to please. But some of the other words I'm giving is is to add. So if you add also another word for giving is to allow allow. Another word is cars commanded dealing or to draw. So those are all different words of giving. Now, it's always going to give for the measure you use.

00:10:50:14 - 00:11:16:02

Unknown

It will be measured back to you. Now, the measure you use is going to be based upon the value that it has. All right. Now watch this. So who determines its value? Who determines how how valuable it is or to the measure that it is within the kingdom of God? The kingdom's value system is always based upon the word.

00:11:16:26 - 00:11:37:05

Unknown

It was always based upon words we tend to have an issue with, but this word we tend to really have an issue with because the kingdom is always going to to want us to do this thing. It's always going to ask us a put a demand on us. And that word is the kingdom is always based upon sacrifice.

00:11:38:24 - 00:12:12:29

Unknown

Its all its whole system is set up on sacrifice. So if you're looking at the Kingdom of God's value system, God is always going to place a demand on us that usually more than we want to bear. Even though he know we can bear it, he's going to ask us or ask of us something that is usually always going to to to put a pressure to sacrifice.

00:12:13:20 - 00:12:37:03

Unknown

We have to give up what our own way. We have to give up our lives. What was the biggest sacrifice? Christ on the cross. The biggest, biggest one was was Christ let this mind being you. Who was that which was also in Christ Jesus who being in the form of God did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself a servant.

00:12:37:15 - 00:13:10:15

Unknown

And so and in doing so that he submitted himself to death, even death on the cross, the sack, rough face, because he made such a sacrifice. His name is lifted above everything because of his sacrifice. And so God is always gone. His value is going to be placed upon what are you willing to sacrifice? And sometimes one of the biggest things that led to the cross was Jesus held his tongue.

00:13:11:19 - 00:13:39:19

He did not open his mouth. He could have had a legion of angels come there, Paul. He could have said, Talk to his father. You're I'm innocent. They're guilty. Put the guilt on them. Let them receive the guilt of what they did. He I'll I'll be the what sacrifice this I'll take it. I'll be the one. I will deal with it.

00:13:39:27 - 00:14:03:11

Unknown

It will be on me. I will make the sacrifice. And to the measure of sacrifice is what he's looking at. So when we give, it's always going to be to the measure of the sack. Now, sometimes the sacrifices automatically mean that you are given his right, and so you give to the world, this community, the church. It's just a no brainer.

00:14:03:11 - 00:14:34:21

Unknown

It's a sacrifice. If there's financial giving, it's a sacrifice. But then sometimes God to test you or ask you to give more, more than you would normally give. And it's not about the gift. It's about the reward that God has for you in the giving. Now, during the big prosperity thing, you know, a lot of pastors really taught that from more of an instructional standpoint, right?

00:14:35:05 - 00:15:17:29

Unknown

And yes, there were people that was making money and all this other stuff, right. But even in that God's mercy is so good that even if you responded to a giving and the person was manipulative in their request, you know, God still honors the blessing in the Word. Anyway, he he he will still honor what what the person, the man, the God, the prophet who was saying those words, he'll still honor it and deal with him, but he'll still honor your sacrifice sometimes.

00:15:17:29 - 00:15:41:28

Unknown

And like I said, there are that when you when you when you when you really want to stand up for yourself in the job situation, he tells you, don't say anything. Wait, that's a sacrifice. You know, like I said, we still kind of like our kids after this week. That's a sacrifice. Sometimes the Lord's going to ask you to give in, and you're you're thinking this.

00:15:41:28 - 00:16:11:18

Unknown

This thing I'm you're asking of me. It's a lot. I'm in I'm in 25 traffic. I want to run everybody over. But you're telling me, stay in my lane. Don't hit the horn to be quiet. That's what he tells Brandi about the purpose right away. But it's it's a sacrifice he's always going to the giving is always going to be about that sacrifice.

00:16:11:18 - 00:16:49:26

Unknown

That's the value system in the kingdom. So then how much are you willing to give? How much are you willing to sacrifice? Because if we put this in context of what we just said, when we judge who we really judging ourselves, so when we don't judge, it allows others in the kingdom not to judge us when we're condemning who are we really condemning ourselves when we forgive, who are we really forgiving?

00:16:51:05 - 00:17:18:22

Unknown

So then when we're giving, who we're really giving to ourselves, you know, I taught this this pardon giving. It was more focused on times and offering when we talked about giving God's way and the kingdom. There is so much time. The time is eternal in the kingdom. And so the response time in the kingdom is always almost instantaneous because there's so much of it, there's not.

00:17:19:09 - 00:17:43:09

Unknown

We treat it because there's not enough of it. And we have a time lapse. So we're thinking, okay, we need it happening now. But there's so much time in the kingdom that now and forever are in the same place, it doesn't doesn't matter. And so when you when you give, it's given. So there is no time. So when we say give and it will be what it will be isn't in the Scripture.

00:17:43:09 - 00:18:06:28

Unknown

It's it's it's don't judge. You won't be judged. It's all at the same time. Don't kill then you're not condemned forgive you're forgiven. Give it's given. So, so everything in that you receive in abundance right there. Now we just have to not now. We just have to walk it out. It's all there. Me and John talk about this.

00:18:06:28 - 00:18:24:10

Unknown

When we talk about the zero point theory, all the time of this in the in zero point energy, everything and nothing is in the same place. I know it's the weirdest thing, but you, you know, stick around with it long enough and you'll be weird. Like us, everything and nothing is in the same place. And at the same time, everything you hope to be, one to have and one to pursue is all available.

00:18:24:12 - 00:18:44:04

Unknown

You just can't see it, so it's not there. And a good example of this is when you're working on an invention. There are different companies and there's a company I'm working with now called Davidson Company, and Davidson Company has this plant up in Pennsylvania, and I sent them this idea and they said, okay, we're going to show you a video of what our plant looks like.

00:18:44:05 - 00:19:10:11

Unknown

And I'm like crazy, like, because we think your idea is a great idea. And so, you know, let's talk about it. So they sent me this this video of Davidson Company. And it's all I mean, it's all set up. It looks like, you know, Disneyland, but for inventors and so it's all these computers and these scale models and electricians and these these engineers and all of that stuff is in there.

00:19:10:11 - 00:19:45:25

Unknown

And my idea is in there. I just don't see it. But it's it's there. So everything anybody would want to invent is there. It's just taken. It's just waiting for you to step in and make it happen and it collapses and becomes something. But it's it's there. Everything is there. So if we understand that everything is there is just invisible, then when we forget forgiveness, is there there's no condemnation there.

00:19:46:15 - 00:20:12:26

Unknown

There's there's no judgment there. And everything that you give and response in the Kingdom of God, that's why I pray. At the end I say the Lord's going to return it unto you where you need it. The most, because sometimes you go, okay, Pastor Tommy, I'm sewing and I'm giving. And yes, but you need peace. You need healing, you need joy, you need a lot, you need some sometime.

00:20:12:26 - 00:20:34:15

Unknown

Most of the time. We just need a word. I need a word. I don't know my child, but there have been many times I said, look, I just need a word from you. I need to know that you that you even are watching. Do you even see what's going on here? I mean, am I the only one in this right now?

00:20:35:02 - 00:20:55:25

Unknown

Because, you know, I'm reading I'm believing, I'm hoping, I'm giving, I'm trusting, but I ain't seeing it. So I just need I just need a word. I just need something. Just just poke your finger and just just poke me for a minute. Just give me something and then I'll open up an app. I'll turn and I get a word.

00:20:57:01 - 00:21:35:07

Unknown

Thank you. All right, we can make it the next 2 hours. See some it because sometimes we just need a word. We just need something to tell us that, hey, you're there. I just. I just. I just need something to show me. When we stay in a posture of giving forgiveness, actually comes easier. Condemned condemning comes easier. Judgment goes away because we're in a posture of giving.

00:21:36:24 - 00:22:09:01

Unknown

We can't it's hard to do the other three and not do the fourth one. But if you do the fourth one, you're pretty much guarantee you'll do the other three. If if you're giving the right way, if you're if you're if we're giving and it's not sacrifice sacrificial, it's a it's just, you know, just here when we first started the church, probably six months in, I'm telling my dad, you know, we're starting the church.

00:22:09:01 - 00:22:24:22

Unknown

And he was all concerned about, so how are you going to eat? It was like how you can take this stuff. And so, you know, we have people that are coming. They're all givers. Now he's old school. So old school give us they pass the plate. You know, people throw in $2. I mean, that was it. You know, back in the day, you get change.

00:22:24:22 - 00:22:42:14

Unknown

You like I want to put it into I get fired that, you know, I don't know if y'all grew up in the church. Yeah she Rosa remember that she like I remember that. Yeah. You know you put in a 2015 15th, you know, you put in change in the thing and pass the plate around. And I said, Well, no, no, no, no, no.

00:22:42:14 - 00:23:03:09

Unknown

We got givers. You know, they believe in ties. They build an offering, they take a percentage. They trust in God. God returns then. So these folks are blessed the favor. God is on them, they're blessed. So we have givers that they're givers. They actually are give birth. You know, they're just not, you know, tippers, but they're givers. It's seen this different back in the day.

00:23:03:09 - 00:23:26:26

Unknown

They were tippers and they figured, I'm just going to toss the five bucks in there and say thank you, but we got givers and see givers walk in the favor and the blessing of God. Because when you take the sacrifice and you give it to the Lord, then he sees your what sacrifice, and from that place He pours out.

00:23:26:26 - 00:23:46:12

Unknown

Now, it's not because, you know, if you if you look at it many times, it was taught. So you going to give to give. And I remember when I was when I taught giving God's way and I was talking to my mom about that, I said, no, you give because you got you don't give to give you give because you got and because you're giving because you got.

00:23:46:18 - 00:24:21:07

Unknown

And the reason you're doing that is because that is the thing that declares that you are the blessed of the Lord. I'm the blessed of the Lord. And I'm going to show it in my giving. I'm going to express who I am from my giving. I'm going to express it. Not just finance fully, but when I close my mouth, when I don't give my opinion, when I decide to love instead of hate, when I don't give back to someone what they deserve, well, I think they deserve.

00:24:22:22 - 00:24:46:00

Unknown

This is the judgment that I declare on this situation. And law says no, because that is not for you to do. Your job is to love. So right now you're going to sacrifice and give love. You're going to sacrifice and do what I've ask you. Going to sacrifice to hold your tongue. You can sacrifice and keep your pain.

00:24:46:00 - 00:25:09:07

Unknown

You you're going to sacrifice and bless and give a word anyway. That's what you can do. Going to sacrifice and bless and give a word anyway. That's what you're going to do. You're going to sacrifice. That is the access to the favor of God. Now I'm close with this walk. Why the sacrifice? Why? Why is it all based upon sacrifice?

00:25:10:29 - 00:25:47:07

Unknown

John 316 For God so loved the world that He would gave it sets a standard for everything else. It sets the standard he loves so much that he gave. So now the standard of love is giving. The standard of love is How much are you? Are you what are you giving? And what did he give? A sacrifice. His only son.

00:25:48:20 - 00:26:13:18

Unknown

That's what he did. And he did it because he loved us, even when we didn't deserve to be loved. He said, Let me set the standard. While you are yet sinners, I'm going to send him to die for you. I'm not going to wait for you to prove yourself worthy. I'm just going to declare myself good, man, that's bad.

00:26:14:09 - 00:26:35:20

Unknown

I'm going to wait for you to say, Look, see, I'm worthy. He said, No, I'm just going to declare I'm good. And because I'm good, I'm going I'm going to make the sacrifice so that way it's not dependent upon you for our relationship. It's not dependent upon you anymore. Now it's all me. So now this is what God did.

00:26:35:20 - 00:26:52:10

Unknown

So now we got an open door policy. Come on, now. We've got an open door policy. So now you can walk in whenever you want. You can talk to me whenever you want, or you can walk out whenever you want and not talk to me whenever you want. But guess what? The door is still going to be open for you to come in when you want to.

00:26:52:25 - 00:27:19:05

Unknown

I'm not going to close it on you anymore. You don't got to jump through hoops to get to me anymore. You got to do this and that. All you got to do is turn where you're at. And if you turn wherever you're at, I will show up. Because I made the ultimate sacrifice for good. I gave I loved so much that I gave.

00:27:20:15 - 00:27:42:01

Unknown

How then can we not express the same thing? I told you I was talking to a man who was much older than me, and I turned to me and pretended This don't have judgment. So we don't. You know, the only time we kind of look at people sideways is if they choose to stay in their failure. We have a little weird.

00:27:43:24 - 00:28:19:15

Unknown

It's a little weird, you know, but but this is what we say. Just wait. They'll change if you just wait. People can change. So we just wait. But we just don't have judgment. And part of that is because we were so messed up. How are we going to judge anybody? Oh, I'm I told the guys, I'm like, listen, I am not the role model for pastors in the United States.

00:28:19:15 - 00:28:43:10

Unknown

I didn't think I was. I was like, I don't wear a suit and interested into it. My associate pastor Bruce Beer, I mean, seriously, we we are just seriously, we are just not what people would say. That's the perfect picture of a church. It's just not. I mean, we love it. Hang out. We have we have a great time.

00:28:43:14 - 00:28:44:28

Unknown

Have a great time. But listen.

00:28:47:17 - 00:29:19:08

Unknown

Yeah, he got to see. But we go deep. We got to with this but we go deep. We go deep. No, there's freedom. We're going we're going to bless, love, encourage you ain't going to get more blessings love encouragement than I did was community church not here's this is this is fun to talk about right now not encourage and bless and love to be here.

00:29:19:25 - 00:29:41:10

Unknown

We want to bless, encourage a love for your life in in your personal life. What are you doing? Not what are you doing for me or the church? What are you doing for you? Where are you going? Where is your life going? What? Like pastor past the pastor. What inventions are you coming up with? Has your mind been expanded?

00:29:41:14 - 00:30:02:21

Unknown

Have you seen the favor of God in your life? What's your next step? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? What do you want to create? The sky's the limit. The impossible is happening. It's coming. It is alive and deep. Well, this community church, you can't be stagnant here because we're going to keep nudging you to grow.

00:30:02:21 - 00:30:23:13

Unknown

We don't want you to grow. We don't want to stay. We we're all about how can we grow? What way can we grow? What what's the ways to grow? But we were on vacation. I was getting out, shower, get ready to leave. And I said, Lord, it's 2020 to 2023. I really would like it to be a just just let's grow.

00:30:23:13 - 00:30:55:26

Unknown

Let's just go. I just I just need some some. And this is what he said. This is what he said. He said, Tommy, your church will grow with you. He said, it'll grow with you. He said it took you five years to figure out your message. He said the message you had three years ago is not the core message you got right now that you own that, you can sit down and walk into any room and you own this message of who you are in Christ.

00:30:56:06 - 00:31:16:29

Unknown

The see things through the eyes of Christ that you own, what sin means, that you own no judgment, that you that you own. All of these things that y'all have been talking about, you own it. You can sit down with the other pastors you see, you can have a dialog and really talk to them about the scriptures. How they need to talk about sin is failure, not sin is behavior.

00:31:18:14 - 00:31:37:18

Unknown

You just that by itself. You change the whole body, just that by you has spend your whole life teaching that premise by yourself and change the whole body of Christ. But when you add to it, you see things through the eyes of Christ. And doing that, it changes everything from the from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

00:31:38:14 - 00:32:01:11

Unknown

He said. All these things that you all want a man talking to me. He talks to me like that. You own a man that is who you are, but you had to grow into that. Your church will grow as you grow, as you become. Now, listen, he's telling me that because this is this is a product of me and Brandy.

00:32:01:19 - 00:32:23:21

Unknown

This is my thing. But listen, your life will grow as you grow. So if there's limitations and things that you feel are holding you back and oppressing your imagination, which we're going to get to eventually, but hold on, oppressing your imagination, oppressing your thoughts, suppressing your ability to think beyond you want it to retract in every way you want.

00:32:23:21 - 00:32:46:26

Unknown

In the past, are you willing to second guess? What's God? Are you willing to second guess what you're doing? God is saying, no, keep growing. You have to out grow the shackles. They will break off of your feet because what do we talk about? The anointing. The anointing became so fast. We this is this is a great time shot and the yoke would be removed.

00:32:46:26 - 00:33:13:07

Unknown

We finally got rid of that yoke. That yoke pitching went down the day Song said, this is going to be great. In the sermon nineties we finally got the yoke removed and Brandi came in. She said, Did you get really that yoke? I said, I deleted the yoke. Today the yoke has been lifted. I said, Paul asked me about it two weeks ago.

00:33:13:07 - 00:33:28:22

Unknown

We got rid of that. You know, Brandi said, What is the yoke as a baby? We've been trying to get rid of that yoke every time we came in. I said, So we need that yoke removed. So that yoke, that burden got passed. I'm trying to find the yoke, but I can't get the yoke off. I said, we got to get the yoke off with deep wallets.

00:33:28:22 - 00:34:03:16

Unknown

Needs to be yoke free. We got to remove this yoke. And then I got here early at sunset. Can you go financial? I had to do some digging. I said, There's the yoke. We're going to be free of the yoke today and this man will be free of the yoke today. That yoke is gone. The Scripture said the yoke was removed because they became so that they became so big that the yoke was broken off.

00:34:05:07 - 00:34:37:21

Unknown

The yoke will be removed when. You grow and as you grow, we're waiting for someone to come take an office nicely sweep in in the way we wanted and God's going. If you grow, it becomes something small that breaks off of you from your growth, your life. Man, this is good stuff, y'all. Your life is waiting for you to grow.

00:34:37:21 - 00:35:23:09

Unknown

You can't be the future you the way you are today. You can't the future you whatever is in your vision board, whatever's in your your your future tomorrow you can't be that person today I've got on my computer I've got a picture of it's a Aston Martin and it's a Jet Aston Martin than a jet. So my computer and you know because I'm I have a jet and so because I don't like airports and I really don't like planes and I was thinking about this Ashley last night because said, you know, you probably need to go on a private jet jet ride to even see if you like jets because you can be believing for

00:35:23:09 - 00:35:41:23

Unknown

something you hate and really don't want. And the reason why you ain't get it, because God knows you don't like those. So you could be sitting there having something in your vision thinking, I want this. And God goes, No, you don't. Because once you get it, you're going to hate it. I know the story. But but, but, but there is a picture.

00:35:42:12 - 00:36:13:05

Unknown

And every time I look at that picture, I get reminded the person you are today doesn't fit in that picture. And here's why. This is this is good. Here's why the person I am today does not fit in that picture. The person who I am right now doesn't fit in that picture. And the reason why is because if I did, I had I would have had it if if the person I am right now today would fit in that picture, I would have that.

00:36:13:05 - 00:36:53:00

Unknown

That's how you know, I'm not I'm not that yet because I'll have that when I become that. But I have not become that. That's why I don't have that. So in order to have that, I have to become that. So the reason we we may not have the things we want is because we have not become that. So so this is I'm a wrap up with this I played out wrapping up 2 minutes ago but I'm a wrap up with this and this is why imagination is so important, because your imagination puts you in that and helps to reprogram you, to get used to being in that.

00:36:53:06 - 00:37:15:29

Unknown

So then you become that even though you ain't became that yet, and it changes your heart as we learned about the heart and it communicates with every cell in your body down to the DNA, and you become that even though you ain't became that yet. But then you have to grow into that. And everything that produces that has to show up because you have imagined who you are with it.

00:37:17:24 - 00:37:49:13

Unknown

That's how you bring the future to you today. And you become your tomorrow. Right now, man, that's a good line. I got a couple of good ones that a couple of good ones in this one. Get some t shirts me listen that that's how you live from your tomorrow today. Now we we called it faith we call it more just faith, but we call it imagination.

00:37:49:13 - 00:38:20:12

Unknown

I'm imagination. I see those things that are not internal in the Bible anything in the Bible. I see those things that are not as though they really are. I see myself like that. I see myself doing this that I see it. You can't convince me in anything otherwise. From what I see. And then this is the big thing as a believer.

00:38:20:12 - 00:38:43:14

Unknown

This this is the good part. Okay, this is the good part. Okay. Because the world tries to do this. They just call it the law of attraction, the manifestation in 98.9, 9% of the people fail trying to do it. They get frustrated. Okay, but this is the difference. As a believer, because we just read the scripture that says ask and you shall have seek and you shall find knock in the door, be open to you.

00:38:43:19 - 00:39:03:17

Unknown

So then when we take the desires of our heart, because it's a Scripture that says The Lord gives us what the desires of our heart. So we we take the desires of our heart and we present it to him. And He gives us a word based upon that desire. What are we supposed to be imagining if we take the desires of our unknown mess their look?

00:39:03:17 - 00:39:22:07

Unknown

Because I ask that question and then I didn't answer it. I'm sorry if we take the desires of my heart and we give it to God and God gives us a word, He gives us a word. So we're supposed to spend time imagining that word. And oftentimes this is called God will give you what we call a word picture.

00:39:22:23 - 00:39:48:18

Unknown

He did it to Abraham. He said, Abraham, God count the stars if you can. That's what your descendants would be. So now, every time Abraham went outside at night, I'm imagining my descendants. I can't get it out of my mind. The sand on the ground I'm imagining the sand. I can't get it out of my mind now I'm supposed to calm myself from Abraham to Abraham.

00:39:49:12 - 00:40:15:14

Unknown

And I'm going to tell this woman in the tent. Your name is Sarah anymore? Sarah. I'm going to call you Sarah. Na na na. I'm speaking the promise and I'm seeing the promise. And eventually I'm of become the good ones. Today I'm. And I'm becoming the promise. Now see it now I'm saying it now I'm becoming it Now I'm doing it.

00:40:16:03 - 00:40:47:08

Unknown

All of this is in relation to him and unlocking our imagination. And I'm a summing up with this last one. In order for us to live like that, we have to give up our normal way of doing things. It all comes back to the same thing we have to give. We got to yield to his word. It all comes back to the same thing.

00:40:48:25 - 00:41:11:16

Unknown

You can't you can't do it your way and get God results. It don't the two don't match. The only way to get God results is to do what in God's Word. If we do it God's way, we get God results. If we do it our way, we get our results. But our way doesn't last with this. God's way does.

00:41:11:16 - 00:41:32:13

Unknown

Because when we enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, He's going to say, Well done, because you did it my way. There's a song, Paul Singer for It's Not For You, but there's a song he's going to say, You did it. You did it my way. Well done. You did it just like me. Well done. Good and faithful servant.

00:41:32:23 - 00:41:56:18

Unknown

You did exactly. You did exactly what I really did in that situation. You did it. You did it the way out. What? He did it. You responded the way I would have responded. You held back the way I would have held back. You did. You did it just the same way I did. Good job well done. But when you do it your way, you get no credit for that.

Now you have to answer for it. Now you have to be this. Now you have to be the sacrifice for it because you did it your way. So now you got to answer for you didn't do it God's way, you did it your way. And if you do it God's way, you guarantee the harvest. How big? 30, 60?

00:42:23:19 - 00:42:59:14

Unknown

100 fold. Any harvest is good when it's God's way. Because I learned one more thing. When God does it, God sustains it. When we do it, we sustain it. Then we have to make it happen. It has to be something we have to maintain. But when God does it, He brings a blessing, has no sorrow with it. Because God did it.

00:43:00:23 - 00:43:44:09

Unknown

God did it. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Since the thing is, he takes now. Amen. Let's pray. That was good, man. That was. That was good. Lord, that was good. Father, I thank you so much for speaking. Just speaking to us and encouraging us and giving us motivation, speaking to us, encouraging us and motivating. Lord, I thank you. Thank you for speaking to us, encouraging us and motivating us more fathers closing in on the end of 2023.

00:43:45:09 - 00:44:13:25

Lord, I see a big water tower and then the top it says Blessings and favor. And the Lord said at the bottom, there's the little thing that you spin the opening with a spell. And he said that we've been trying to spin it open and it's real. It's touched so, so tight because of the pressure that's in the water tower.

00:44:14:18 - 00:44:42:25

Unknown

And so he said, it's so tight that you're trying to spin it open. He said, But why don't you just take the sledgehammer and just knock the thing off and just let the water run out and receive the blessing and the favor that has been stored up for you. It's there and it's been stored up waiting for you to release it.

00:44:43:04 - 00:45:07:27

Unknown

We've been happy giving a cup every now and again and putting it over and giving a little bit of water. But the Lord said the time has come to just break open the valve and let the blessing and favor loose. We've been waiting. The Lord says you've been waiting on someone else to open for you. You've been waiting for someone stronger than you.

00:45:08:02 - 00:45:30:12

Unknown

You've been waiting for the right time, he said. This is the time. Just break open the thing and take what's yours. It has been stored up and the reason it has been only coming out in a trickle when you've been trying to open it is because of the pressure that is inside of it. It's not the pressure that's on the outside.

00:45:30:24 - 00:45:53:23

Unknown

There's no resistance on the outside. It's not as if you've been thinking that something is holding me back. The Lord said nothing is holding you back. It is because of the pressure of the blessings and favor that I have stood up for. You have become so great that it's pushing up against it. Just break that thing open and receive it.

00:45:53:23 - 00:46:48:18

Unknown

Take what's yours, take what's yours, receive what's yours walking what's yours Have fun in the water It's yours. It's not for anyone else. It's your blessings and your favor. It's your receive it and then let your condemned conduct be of someone who is blessed in favor. That's why your giving is so important, says the Lord, because it tells the world that it shows me that your conduct is becoming of who I am and you, when you give silence, when you give peace, when you give joy, when you give finances.

00:46:49:02 - 00:47:22:01

Unknown

I see it and it's becoming of who I am. How can I not bestow my blessing and favor upon you when you're walking in this earth as a mirror image of me? Gosh, that's good. So walk in it. Walk in and walk in it. Walking in. Father, we receive that message. That's why this community, the church and I receive that message personally, Lord, I receive that prayer personally.

00:47:22:01 - 00:47:59:13

Unknown

In a man Father. For anyone who is watching and may not know you, they may not have a relationship with you. But after hearing all this today, they want to be in relation with you.

00:47:59:13 - 00:48:31:13

Unknown

They want to know the God I'm talking about. And Father, they're open to hearing and researching and just receiving your love. Lord, Father, we celebrate them, Father. We applaud their decision to be one of your children covered by you and Father that they will reach out to us. I don't want to start CeeCee for prayer. We love praying for people that we love, praise, supports and Lord as we just talked about, giving Father thank you for every financial gift that comes to the wives of the Church.

00:48:32:11 - 00:48:57:00

Unknown

Father, thank you that the blessing in favor is on the gift and the giver. Father that you have been pouring out and unlocking things because of the gift in the giver Lord that they have access to you even more because of their giving, Lord Father that it's a physical record of who you are, physical representation of what you've been in their life.

00:48:57:00 - 00:49:22:11

We thank you so much. So, Father, we thank you for every gift, bless every household that gives in Jesus name, Lord.

00:49:24:15 - 00:49:54:16

Unknown

And one last thing, Father. We thank you for every member of the world. As a father, we pray for one. We pray for every member of deep wants to return to the water, father that they will be, even though some may be watching at home. Lord, that we need them in the building and slow. We just pray that they will feel safer, comfortable to come back so we can fill this building up so that as new people are coming in, they will see who are current members of the deep are.

00:49:55:12 - 00:50:15:00

Unknown

So we just pray for them and we pray for every project we're working on that's going to attract new members from the North, southeast and west, the deep oneness community, the church father that even I had to take the limits off being in this place. Lord, you can fill this place up for us to launch out from. So continue to rebuild who we are and what we are.

00:50:15:22 - 00:50:31:17

Unknown

We thank you for it in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. So and member we're going to pray about that every week because we do need one. If you're watching. Don't feel any guilt but feel some guilt that you're not here. Don't feel conviction but feel a little bit of comfort that you're not here because we need people in the bill.

00:50:31:17 - 00:50:47:10

Unknown

We need you here. So as new people are starting to come in, we have some new people about three weeks ago. And so we really need our current members to come back to church. So please return back to the hospital or return back so we can hug you, spend time with you, but there's a chair with your name on it.

00:51:05:14 - 00:51:27:02

Unknown

So not don't pray about that. Come to church. There's nothing to pray about. Like Pastor Brenda said, why are we praying about something we already been praying about? So come to church. We miss you. We appreciate you. And we appreciate even that you're not here, that you're still giving. That is a blessing because many times many pastor talk to out of sight, out of mind and but you're even though you're watching a line, you're still giving.

00:51:27:02 - 00:51:46:11

Unknown

Why Our Prayers May Not Be Answered | Condemnation | Deep Waters Community Church | Sermons Online

Full Sermon: https://youtu.be/VhiqzTVaudY

00:00:34:19 - 00:00:55:20

Unknown

People. How are we doing Deep Waters! Praise God. All right. Let me say something real quick. Before that, my wife said she was thankful for me. I am. Because, you know, a lot of times, you know, it's like Paul did a great answer, by the way. That's the safest answer in the world. If somebody says to you with your wife standing there, what are you grateful for?

00:00:55:28 - 00:01:18:23

Unknown

The dumbest guy would talk about anything else other than the woman standing right there. So, I mean, you're going to get points whenever you can. So I applaud you, Paul. Great job representing all men. He took one. Took one for the team. Lord, we thank you for this. We are so blessed to be this. I got to pray.

00:01:19:28 - 00:01:54:27

Unknown

Okay? I'm so thankful and grateful for all of us being here today. In Jesus name. Amen. All right. So I'm a jump right in with a few questions. Question number one is this now, these don't answer. I'm just just received. Okay. Do you exist in this moment? Did you exist five years ago? Are you your body now? Most people would answer yes to all three questions that we exist now, that we did exist five years ago, and that we are here in the body.

00:01:55:16 - 00:02:26:04

Unknown

All right. But if you identify your body as yourself and simultaneously accept that you exist now and also exist that five years ago, then you have a problem. You see the body you had five years ago does not exist today. There is a dynamic turnover of atoms and molecules that make up your body. There isn't a single particle of matter, not one atom present in your body today.

00:02:26:04 - 00:03:00:15

Unknown

That was present five years ago. The body you have today is not the same body you have five years ago. It's not that the body you had still exist but has changed somewhat. No, the body you had is completely gone. That collection of atoms appearing as flesh, bone, blood and hair and so on actually no longer exist. Yet you still exist.

00:03:01:12 - 00:03:31:19

Unknown

Studies at the Oak Ridge Atomic Research Center revealed that about 98% of all the atoms in a human body are replaced. Every single year you get a new suit of skin. Every month, a new liver every six weeks. The lining of your stomach lasts only five days before it's replaced. Even your bones are not the solid, stable structures you might have thought them to be.

00:03:32:16 - 00:04:03:14

Unknown

They are undergoing constant change. The bones we have today are different from the bones you had a year ago. Experts in the area of research have concluded that there is a complete 100% turnover of atoms in the body at least every five years. In other words, not one single atom present in your body today was there five years ago.

00:04:04:18 - 00:04:32:24

Unknown

Now, the only part of you that remains the same because your body is not the same. The only part of you that remains the same is the awareness of you, the personality of you. And this is the energy or what we call the spirit of you that is actually the conscious vibration of who you are. So the body itself changes and turns over.

00:04:32:24 - 00:04:58:05

Unknown

But the conscious vibration or spirit of who you are is the thing that exists now. Everything in the visible came from the invisible as we researched, and everything that is visible is in a constant state of vibration and its frequency and structure determine what it is and its properties. So everything is in scientifically, in a constant state of vibration.

00:04:58:17 - 00:05:27:01

Unknown

Now, in Genesis one two, it says in the spirit of the law was hovering over the faces of the waters, and that word hovers, means to tremble, to shake quiver, but it also means to vibrate or to actually vibrate. And the tremble of a resonant vibration can be equated to emotion and awareness. So let me keep breathing. So God was aware.

00:05:28:04 - 00:06:02:29

Unknown

He felt, he said. And in response, things changed. Now, I must say that again, because it's very important to where we're going. God, in that state of darkness became was aware of what was going on. He began to vibrate, which we can. The God that we talked about was that the kingdom of God is responsive. Okay. And so and I love using that the the link height, width, but the depth part is so important because the depth of the kingdom of God is always responsive to you.

00:06:03:27 - 00:06:29:16

Unknown

It's based upon how you interact with it. It's going to determine what you get out of it. Okay. How valuable. And that's that's the kingdom in general. But you can see that even in relationships, how much you give in, how much you put in is what you can give. You know what? You can draw from it. Okay. And so so the kingdom itself is responsive in that way.

00:06:29:24 - 00:06:54:08

Unknown

If you find the depth of the word of God important, invaluable to the Kingdom of God is going to be what? Important? Invaluable. I remember when we were young of a past. The grand would always want to get to church early because she loved worship. So she wanted to get the church early. I didn't want to get the church early because I thought worship was boring.

00:06:54:08 - 00:07:10:05

Unknown

And so to me, she thought it was that. So we would get there and now my mom would kind of split the difference, would get there a little bit after worship. But then when she was pastoring the church that we had to be there early. And so but we would get there and she would be engaged in worship.

00:07:10:05 - 00:07:37:13

Unknown

And I would be sitting down because I didn't find it valuable, because to me it was boring. Worship did not become powerful, important to me until I started playing. Once I started getting involved in worship, then it became what is important to me. But that was all based upon what our interactions. So the depth was our interaction and that is what came from it.

00:07:37:18 - 00:08:04:06

Unknown

The Kingdom of God responds the exact same way, the exact same way. It's responsive to our awareness, our feelings, our words, and in response, things begin to change. That's the interaction with the kingdom. Now let's go to Luke 638 because we've been on this reference of Scripture and it says this Do not judge people. Do not judge you.

00:08:04:15 - 00:08:25:25

Unknown

Yes. 37 I'm sorry. Do not judge you and not be just do not condemn you. Not be condemned. Forgive. And you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you. And then all this is summed up in a good measure press down. Shaking together and running over will be put into your lap for to the measure you use.

00:08:26:02 - 00:08:51:29

Unknown

It will be measure to you. Now, remember when I just said the kingdom of God is responsive. So to the measure that you use in giving, the measure that you use in forgiving the measure that you use in condemnation, the measure that you use in judgment will be measured to use. You want to keep that measure in the smallest possible when he's dealing with those negative things.

00:08:52:16 - 00:09:17:15

Unknown

But that that it's responsive to who we are, it's always going to be that way. Now we use that word measure, which literally means determining what is enough or what is fair and not fair. We talked about that last week. You know, all of us who grew up with children, we understand that they all about what's fair. And sometimes as we get older, we still want to know what's fair.

00:09:17:28 - 00:09:44:07

Unknown

And we want to say that's not fair or they're going to get away with that. That's not fair. They're going to get to do that. That's not fair. And so when we were when we do the gifts with the kids, you know, we got the three girls. And we would always have to count the gifts because if one child had one gift, more than the other one, it's not fair.

00:09:45:22 - 00:10:09:05

Unknown

Now, they don't they don't care about value. They want to know the number sees of one child, got four gifts, one child off. But that's what it means when you go to measure. You're trying to figure out what's fair. And so whenever you say that's not fair or that's fair is the same measurement that's going to come against us.

00:10:09:07 - 00:10:44:17

Unknown

It's responsive. The kingdom of God responds to us that way. Now, we talked about forgiveness two weeks ago and then last week or wrong, innocent or guilty. So the scripture says, do not judge. It doesn't say don't judge incorrectly. It says, do not judge what is innocent, what is guilty, what is wrong, what is correct. Now, the original term from that came from a word that means to separate.

00:10:45:03 - 00:11:16:10

Unknown

And it was it was out of separating the grain from the chaff. That's what that word, judge, you're judging. You're separating the grain from the chaff. Now, then, Sam, is to distinguish what is grain and what is what is chair. Now, cereal crops are made up of the seed or the grain kernel that we eat and an incredible hole or husk surrounding it.

00:11:16:29 - 00:11:51:00

Unknown

Seed in chaff, separation is imperative because in order to process and eat the grain kernel, the inedible whole seeds, the whole needs to be removed. And it's a two step process involving threshing and winnowing now. And Matthew three, starting in verse 12, it says this, okay, we've heard this scripture before. His winnowing fork is in his hand and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chair.

00:11:51:08 - 00:12:16:27

Unknown

And those who are worthy will be brought into his barn, while those who are unworthy will burn in unquenchable fire. Now, that's the traditional teaching of of this passage of scripture. All right. But for me, as I begin to to read the Scripture, see, there's another scripture about the wheat and the tears. We're not going to go into that.

00:12:16:27 - 00:12:40:15

Unknown

But the wheat and the tears and the tears were planted by the enemy. And so remember we talked about that about a month ago, and we're talking about how the enemy has planted tares in our life. Okay. And so oftentimes the word of God is very it's it can be viewed by because it don't look like me. And I'm the righteous, you know, I go to church every word.

00:12:40:18 - 00:12:59:23

Unknown

I'm the saved one. They're not they're not reading the where I never see them come to church. I don't even see that they cuss all the time. They're doing all this stuff. See, so I'm wheat and that's chaff. And they're going to burn in unquenchable fire unless they act like me. Not unless God. God does, but unless they act like me.

00:13:00:11 - 00:13:23:24

Unknown

And so as I began to read the world, I began to realize that most of this stuff is more all of its dealing with me. So he's trying to redeem who, me? So that means now I'm wheat. But there's a part of me that's chaff that got to be burned up in order for me to be useful in the Kingdom of God.

00:13:24:23 - 00:13:46:20

Unknown

So it has nothing to do with me judging because we're not supposed to judge, because that word judge means don't distinguish what is wheat and what it's chaff. So it means I can't look at somebody else and decide what they are. I can't look at somebody else and make a determination of who they are, what they are, or where they are.

00:13:46:20 - 00:14:09:15

Unknown

Because this is a very important thing, because we, as we open up with that person, ain't the same person they were five years ago. And they can change. And unless are if I'm stuck and responding to somebody the way they were and then I'm messed around and changed, now I'm mentally holding down. But what I knew. And they then became something different.

00:14:10:25 - 00:14:35:28

Unknown

So we can't we can't judge. So what God does is this this pieces of us that are still in the husk. There are things that we we will not become useful for the kingdom until it's removed and burned up, not I'ma do to you like you do to me as a seed. This is what you're firstly going to tell me.

00:14:36:07 - 00:15:02:20

Unknown

I'm a do to you what you do to me next time I teach. I'm not going to tell you. No. I said, okay, we're going to Big I. Fine. Keep it to yourself. It's and so and as I'm laying there, laughing, laying there, and I'm meditating on this and see and I see unquenchable fire. It's an unquenchable fire.

00:15:02:20 - 00:15:27:21

Unknown

And we always equate that to hell. And the last days, which is designed for the evil spirits and things that cause stumbling blocks to those that are saved, by the way. And so so where I'm wrestling this unquenchable fire, and this morning I got up and I said, you know what? When God begins to deal with you on your issues, he don't let up.

00:15:27:27 - 00:16:05:15

Unknown

He don't you don't back off the fire. He puts you through to grow you to be who you are is an unquenchable fire. He you know, we said he plan when when you truly surrender yourself to him for him to work out your salvation with feeling trembling. He ain't playing around. He he trying to deal with the parts of you that got to be removed so that you can become the bread of life, so that you can become who he's designed you to be.

00:16:05:26 - 00:16:29:15

Unknown

So that you can represent him. See, the thing about being a believer is I want to be a representation of him in every thing I do and everywhere I go, that's what it means. I'm going to represent the kingdom and what I do. So doesn't matter. It, you know, it doesn't mean I've got to be missionary, I got to be an evangelist, I got to be a pastor, I got to be a teacher.

00:16:29:15 - 00:17:00:21

Unknown

I got to be on stage, know what it means. It's okay. I may have a prophetic gift in, but it doesn't change me working in the office were removed from me so that I can be who he is. Call me the beat. And here's the thing that he's trying to tell us not to do. Remember last week I said, You can get somebody in process and if you catch them in the process of being that heart, that husk being removed, you can look at them and judge them as failure.

00:17:01:11 - 00:17:23:26

Unknown

Yeah. And God's looking at it as they're in the process, they're growing, they're developing, they're becoming the you have the interpretation. I'm gonna call you back in 5 minutes. I was like, I ain't even brushing my teeth. I still smell like yesterday. And you don't call me the prophesy. I mean, and there was no time to get in the spirit.

00:17:24:02 - 00:17:44:05

Unknown

There was no time to get in the worship. I couldn't get a sun out. I couldn't get a holler. There was nothing I can do. It was like you got this is when it needs to be instant in season they now because when you sleepy you got to be ready. I went downstairs. I sat on the couch and I said, Lord, God help me.

00:17:45:22 - 00:18:14:04

Unknown

And and I was hoping she wasn't going to call, but my hopes would deter she call. She says she's on the line. Tell him the dream. She begin to tell me her dream. I'm listening to the dream. I'm okay, Lord, I need something. And then she begins to tell me the dream. I'm waiting for something like hieroglyphics to show up on the wall.

00:18:15:10 - 00:18:38:21

Unknown

I'm waiting for the words that the interpretation to appear before. I'm like the Henry writing to say This is what the Lord had say to her. I was waiting. Nothing showed up. And then I'm hearing she's talking. And I said, okay, just keep talking. It's going to come to me. Keep talking, it's going to come to me. And she gets to the end and I said, I have nothing.

00:18:39:15 - 00:18:57:10

Unknown

And so she gets to the end. The passage, she lost her past time. You have the interpretation of the Word. The Lord told me that you have the interpretation. So what does it mean? And I began to speak. And as I begin to speak, I can't remember what I said. But all I heard on the other phone was that's.

00:18:57:10 - 00:19:20:17

Unknown

That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it. That's exactly it. That is it. That Oh, my gosh, pastor. That is it. That is it. Yes, yes, yes. That's it, that's it. That's it, that's it. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Amen. Yes, yes, yes. And I finished and I said, That's all I got. She said, That's it. Praise God.

00:19:20:17 - 00:19:35:26

Unknown

That's it. You have it. Thank you. I knew it. I knew it. And she hung up. A She's the best time. I see. We get here and she come with the phone and I dropped to my leaves. I said, Lord, please don't ever do that to me again. Please don't ever, ever, ever do that to me again. I do not don't.

00:19:35:26 - 00:19:54:27

Unknown

That is the scariest thing. How did you know you're right. But I know you got the confirmation, but did you know your friend at the time? We probably. Because they would address the whole situation. They would. And even me, when I when when I was about to do it, I judged it. I don't know if I'm ready to do this, but I'm like, I'll look, I'm just going to walk through the fire.

00:19:54:27 - 00:20:18:04

We're just going to make it happen. We just got to see what happens. And it taught me, you better be ready when you wake up. You got to be ready. And it taught me you got to be ready, not just to interpret for somebody else, but when you open your eyes, you got to be ready to hear from God because he's he can talk to you that early in the morning process.

00:20:18:04 - 00:20:42:23

Unknown

It's all it's all in the process. There have been plenty of times, yes, I can prophesy. Yes, I have words of wisdom and words and knowledge. But I know for a fact there was sometimes I was wrong. I know it was wrong, but I kept doing it. It's like playing the piano. There were plenty of times I hit back or sometimes I still had bad chords, but still, you know, we had a joke with the police.

00:20:42:23 - 00:21:13:24

Unknown

Always in process. We're always in the process. You can judge our country right now, literally. The country is in the process. We're in the process of redemption. That's with all this all this nonsense is it's just the process of God working things out. Oh, we just had an election. And I was sitting here listening to everything before everything turned and everything after.

00:21:14:08 - 00:21:34:13

Unknown

And, and I'm hearing all the talk and as I'm hearing all the talk and who should pick and who should be in this time the other and the Holy Spirit begin to say that he said he said, You know what? Here's the thing that's interesting. Everybody is worried about the candidate. They're more worried about the candidate than resolving the issues.

00:21:34:21 - 00:22:10:13

Unknown

The issues on both sides are important to me. I don't care about the people. You care about the people more than the issues. Because if the issues were a problem, the church would be about resolving the issues apart from the people we wouldn't be worried about, we'd be too busy solving problems. But right now we're focused on what voting the person in and hopes that they will solve the problem.

00:22:11:09 - 00:22:31:05

Unknown

And as we've all found out, most of the time they never solve the problem and we end up going through the same thing again. One day the church is going to rise up and deal with issues anyway. Let me keep going. So we're not supposed to judge what is wheat and what is chaff. We're not supposed to do it.

00:22:31:12 - 00:22:55:08

Unknown

We're not supposed to judge it at all. Because judging and remember how I gave us forgiveness. And forgiveness is what it's all good. Forgiveness is being able to look at situations and say it's all good. Being able to look at past situations. Go is is it's all good. You know it it's all good. It doesn't change the emotions of how what happened.

00:22:55:08 - 00:23:09:20

Unknown

I'm not saying that gives you permission to all of that stuff. You know, many people, they may have to go through counseling and deal with stuff to really get to get over it. But you have to be able to look back and think about it. And, you know, it's all good. It doesn't bother me. And that's how, you know, you got rid of issues when I was praying about judgment.

00:23:09:20 - 00:23:30:26

Unknown

This is what the law says. You know what judging is? Judging is when you're being nit picky, they're always going to be that one's going to point out something that was going to they just can nit pick, he said. Judging is when you're just being nit picky. Even when people change and develop, you're always going to find something to say about them.

00:23:32:05 - 00:24:04:17

Unknown

And that's why we're not supposed to be nit picky. We're not supposed to be judging. We can't be nit picking because people change. We automatically change physically. The awareness of who we are changes us emotionally. God's work in this change, it's us spiritually, but if we're judging, we can get stuck mentally looking at people the same way. And we're not the ones that are supposed to be determining.

00:24:04:17 - 00:24:38:01

Unknown

This is the big one. Their salvation. We're not the ones that determine their salvation. We because we don't know. We just don't we just don't know. So and here's the here's the part. And if we're supposed to only be loving, as we talked about, we don't have room for judgment because judgment brings about this last one, this this third one, condemnation since guilty punishment.

00:24:38:01 - 00:25:01:06

Unknown

That's what it is there. This is who they are. And they're the big thing in the Bible, because we determine so many people going to hell. And there are there are religions that believe, well, you can't you know, a woman can't wear pants. They the hair can't be they can't wear earrings. A certain thing. You I mean I mean, many churches would not let me walk up there like this.

00:25:01:26 - 00:25:30:08

Unknown

You're going to wear a t shirt, jeans, jeans. And I remember my mom's jeans in the pulpit. Andrew Your jeans and under armor in the pulpit, they were. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You need a suit on. This is a house of the Lord. So, you know, it's a knowing that when it's the at the end, it's the house of God, the Lord da, see.

00:25:30:08 - 00:26:02:05

Unknown

And in that place I got to wear a suit to the and they would, they would determine that. That ain't got no Debra. No, no, no, no, not Danny. That ain't God. That's condemnation. You can't you we can't we can't sentence because here's the thing here's the thing. When we judge, when we condemn in the Kingdom of God, it's responsive.

00:26:02:23 - 00:26:25:28

Unknown

Then who are we actually judging? Who, because we've judged our self and we've condemned our self. Let's go to let's go to the last scripture, Matthew seven. This is this is good. This going to bring it all together? Matthew seven It says ask and it will be given to you. Here we go. Responsive, right? Ask and let me give it to you.

00:26:26:03 - 00:26:46:00

Unknown

Seek you will find knock and the door be open to you. For everyone who asks, receives the one who not the one who seeks finds and one who knocks on the door be open. Which one of you, if your son asks for bread, will be given a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake.

00:26:47:05 - 00:27:18:20

Unknown

If you then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more? Your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him. So in everything, say everything. All right, now that Greek word for everything means everything. It just means all It literally said all everything. There's no mystery behind it. So in everything, what do to others?

00:27:18:26 - 00:27:44:04

Unknown

What you have them do to you do to hello. If you want to take everything, everything of the whole Bible are you can go. Okay. I want to take the whole Bible. Pastor Tommy, what's one verse? One passage of Scripture that could sum up the whole Bible. I'll tell you the Scripture. Jesus says so in everything due to others, what you have them do to you.

00:27:45:06 - 00:28:21:01

Unknown

So then, would you want others to not judge you then don't judge others. Would you have them not condemn you then don't condemn others. But here's the cool thing. Do you want forgiveness? Then forgive if you want. If you want, if you want giving to happen to you. If you want, if you want others to give to you.

00:28:21:01 - 00:29:05:27

Unknown

It's wonderful to have joy. Most mornings I wake up, it's a it's it's like a it's like an old Chevy trying to start up. It's like, I mean, know, don't go. But but but that's the truth. I mean, it sounds like it's cold. And they they started in a year, even though it was cranked up yesterday. It sounds like at that time in the morning it's just this just the way and she sends me bit emojis and they're usually these happy mornings and the other day she sent me one that was her and she's a Bitmoji is like a little figure of you.

00:29:05:27 - 00:29:24:24

Unknown

You create a little avatar of you and then, you know, you say Happy Birthday and all these things, whatever. Right? And she sent me one of her as the little mine. It was cute. How did she do that? And so and she sends me she sends me these little bit emojis. And when I call her and she goes, Good morning, how are you?

00:29:25:22 - 00:29:58:02

Unknown

I'm good. Am I? I said, She's trying to crank up service, trying to connect, but she gives me joy in the morning. It'll be horrible if we both were in the same mood in the morning. But. But it doesn't happen sometimes that that's neat. That I'm glad I just got that. Just just just that the kingdom of God is going to be responsive.

00:29:58:02 - 00:30:25:08

Unknown

I don't. I don't want you working on this. I told Brandy we were driving back from Columbus yesterday. I said, The more I've worked on this teaching, the more I realize it's I'm judging me. I don't want to judge myself. I don't want to condemn my self. Praise God that my words on a bad day don't come to me.

00:30:25:08 - 00:31:01:11

Unknown

And I know I catch myself, I catch my words. I try to be, as the scriptures say, sober minded, calm in that piece in my mind, rest in, secure my mind, not condemning, not judging, not bearing false witness. It doesn't it doesn't make me any whole it's just following the Scripture and and allowing God to remove the husk from me so that I'm useful.

00:31:02:01 - 00:31:36:22

Unknown

You guys already did part of that today and Thanksgiving things. And next week we're going to talk about to give what does it mean? What does the word say? He said he said, judge, not condemn, not forgive and give forgive and give. And we're going to dig into what does it mean to give most teachings on giving had been focused on just financial when talking about times.

00:31:36:22 - 00:32:06:17

Unknown

We're talking about offering, we're talking about giving. We're going to talk about sacrifice. We're going to talk about offering. We're going to talk about forgiving. We're going to touch a little bit of that. But there's a bigger picture of importance and give that really if we're focused on one of them, which is the giving part and actually envelops the other three in like the like sandwiches, the other three, you you fulfill everything in this last one.

00:32:07:08 - 00:32:29:20

Unknown

We're going to save that for next week. So it's going to be the scenario of it. You know what? I'm talking about that next week. So she's still going to ask me, but you're still going to ask me. All right. Let's pray, Lord, I thank you and I praise you that we are not condemning. We're not giving the sentence.

00:32:30:24 - 00:33:06:24

Unknown

We are not declare, bring the outcome. We're not declaring the outcome. We're not judging because we only condemn it. We only judge based upon our own natural mentality and our own natural standards. Father You abide in the unseen and you're omnipotent. Lipton And you're omnipresent. So you see all our in all our around, all you hear the conversations, you hear the changes, the things that you're working in.

We don't condemn those that we just don't understand. Father, we don't use your word as a weapon or a tool. Your scripture was never used to be weaponized. It was always intended to bring about love, Father shameful that it has being used that way, but we would not use that deep wounds community church because we are unique and we are aware and we will not use that in our personal lives neither to Father.

00:34:05:09 - 00:34:33:19

Unknown

Forgive us if we have been judgmental and forgive us where we have been condemning Father, if we have spoken anything in a place of absolute, that's condemnation. When we might have said, Well, this is what it is, that's the way it should always be. This is what it's going to happen, and this is what's going to take place.

00:34:33:19 - 00:35:09:01

Unknown

Father, we don't know. Let us only be focused on today as long as today is today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow has its own worries. So we seek you first in their kingdom and everything else will be added to us. Lord, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you. No more condemnation. No more judgment, only forgiveness.

00:00:01:04 - 00:00:25:01

Unknown

Amen, before we get started, I want to say happy birthday to my mom again for her 80th birthday. It was really good. And we took some pictures yesterday and there was a picture that she had in her room. She has in her room of me, Karen and me past the Karen and my two older sisters, Maria.

00:00:25:02 - 00:00:48:18

Unknown

You guys have met her today. And Nancy and this one picture she has it there. And so and then the picture, I think Karen had to be maybe five. So I was maybe six, seven, eight something like that. We were six, nine. And then, you know, it was just many years ago. And so we tried to reenact the picture and stay in the same places.

00:00:48:24 - 00:01:11:27

Unknown

However, you know, I'm a little bit taller than I was when I was ten South Korean. So we all tried to redo the picture again, but it didn't fit the exact same way. But we got pretty close. We got pretty close. So we took an updated picture of the old picture, and this is probably the first time I had all my sisters together, maybe in ten years, I think the year so.

00:01:12:05 - 00:01:33:22

Unknown

So it was a great time having everybody together. And then as I passed the brain, they said, now are the kids came and grandkids were losing their mind everywhere and hero was there. And the hero is two years old. He is he's an only child. He's two years old. And he has all the toys in this game to himself every day, four days a week.

00:01:34:15 - 00:01:56:29

Unknown

So he does not know what it means to share anything with anybody. Everything is his, including what is yours. And he made it known for the whole 4 hours he was there yesterday. So it was a very interesting evening, but we had a great time. It was a really, really good time. So happy birthday, mom, once again. All right, let's pray, Father God, to give you a glowing item.

00:01:57:00 - 00:02:26:10

Unknown

Praise for today's message. Father, I ask for your wisdom, your insight, your leading, your direction and your purpose and what we're going to share and talk about today. We give you glory and honored praise in Jesus name. Amen. All right. So all week, probably for really for the past month, but really this week, I have been wrestling on this this idea of how to explain more of the kingdom of heaven.

00:02:26:27 - 00:02:56:05

Unknown

And in the background behind understanding that is me and John was your as you know, John has helped me tremendously with the sermons. And a lot of what we're teaching have been wrestling this this quantum physics idea of something called zero point energy or the zero point zone or zero point theory. And and in quantum physics, it is the place of everything and nothing at the same time.

00:02:56:29 - 00:03:22:04

Unknown

Okay. And this completely invisible but a quantum the quantum physics. There is more power in this zero point energy than anything in the world. And so as we begin to dove into understanding the Word of God, we've come to the understanding that physics is catching up with the Bible and explaining things of the Bible. And so as me and John, to begin to start talking about future sermons, and that's I got into the Kingdom of Heaven.

00:03:22:15 - 00:03:44:02

Unknown

We started talking about the zero point theory and how to explain it. And over and over again, we have come to a place to where we don't understand how to explain it. And so because we don't know how to explain it, you know, I said, okay, John, we can't explain anything or talk about anything that's not going to be practical to a person's Christian walk and belief.

00:03:44:10 - 00:04:02:10

Unknown

Okay. And Brandy's my marker with that because, you know, I just share stuff with Brandi. Brandi okay. But what does that have to do in my everyday walk with Christ, which means she didn't get it. So that's what it means. She didn't get it. All right, so then I'll go back and tell John Brandi, don't get it. And I'm pretty sure Rosa didn't get it.

00:04:02:20 - 00:04:19:19

Unknown

So if our wives don't get it, we don't teach it. Okay? And so that's kind of like our drawing line there. Okay. If we can't explain it, if I don't feel like I can explain it to them and the way that they get it, we can't we can't explain it, but it's very detrimental to kind of where we're going.

00:04:20:03 - 00:04:39:17

Unknown

And so this week, I'm wrestling with it. I mean, the Holy Spirit, we're going back and forth and I'm asked, Look, can you just explain this thing to me? And he's giving me these explanations. I don't understand, so I don't get it. So then John sends me an email and he sees me. Ima says, I'm still working on the Genesis sermon and trying to figure out how we can explain the zero point theory in a practical way.

00:04:39:23 - 00:04:59:21

Unknown

And my response to him was was I've been trying to figure it out too, and I'm glad I'm not the only one stuck, because if he's stuck, that really means I get off the hook because he's I mean, he so we're trying to get there. Okay. But we're going to open up with second Corinthians first and we're going to slowly move into some of this.

00:05:00:07 - 00:05:25:17

Unknown

So that way when we get to full manifestation of understanding now the whole point of understanding the kingdom and even when we're talking about backed by physics, is this it says this thing a verse 16. Therefore, we do not lose heart, though apparently we are wasting away. Yeah. Inwardly we're being renewed day by day for a light. A momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

00:05:26:22 - 00:05:55:01

Unknown

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen say not seen, okay, not on what is seen, but the unseen. Since what is seen is temporary, but when it's unseen is eternal. So our whole focus needs to be on what is the unseen, for that is eternal. That's the thing that that lasts forever. Remember I said we always talk about how in the spiritual realm or in faith, there is no time.

00:05:55:01 - 00:06:18:16

Unknown

But the Holy Spirit changed that and said, No, there's more than enough time. We call it eternity. And the unseen comes from the eternal. All right. Now, as a believer, to access the things that are unseen always comes by faith. It doesn't come by what we know or we currently know, understand. It always means we it always is accessed by faith.

00:06:18:28 - 00:06:53:29

Unknown

And even as I started looking at, okay, what they're calling zero point energy or vacuum energy, all of that is potential energy that's just resting. But it needs and tension or a movement to activate it. Now we understand that is faith. And when we became believers, the rest of our life now has to be moved or created or accessed by faith, meaning we're taking unseen things, unseen knowledge, unseen wisdom, unseen miracles.

00:06:53:29 - 00:07:17:02

Unknown

And now we're accessing those things by faith and seeing them manifest in our life. That is what it means to be a believer. When you get a word and you see that word manifested in your life. When we're praying for healing and we see healings happen and it's manifested in our life when we're praying for jobs or situations to work out in our favor.

00:07:17:02 - 00:07:40:09

Unknown

And we see those things we access them by faith and we see those things moved and manifested in our life. And then the other thing, which is kind of the hardest part and pass the part hit on this a little bit is where we have things that we've already started or we already created and now we have to move those things into the realm of faith.

00:07:40:20 - 00:07:57:22

Unknown

And we do this very good. We go. We go like what? Give it to God, right? We say that, well, you just need to give that over to the Lord. We just need to give that over to God. You know, all the boys were at the House and Superdome was there yesterday. And I remember Super Duper. He stayed with us daily on it.

00:07:57:22 - 00:08:22:02

Unknown

Super did stay with us for six months after he was born. And so for six months after the Superdome was born, he was with us. And then we had to turn him over to his parents. Now, the day we had, they left, right, they left. Super Superdome is with his mother and his father, the people that bore him, however, my wife said to me, Why did you let those people take my grandson now?

00:08:22:19 - 00:08:48:04

Unknown

Now she says that she referred to them like they were some strangers that showed up to the house, asked for him, and I said, There he is. Take a peek. I mean, that's not how it happened and that's not now, mind you, it's a 1130. We're in the bed, I'm going to sleep. And she says to me, Why would you let these people take him away?

00:08:49:16 - 00:09:09:18

Unknown

I said, It's his mother and his father. What do you mean? These people used to? You still let them take him? You still let them? Like I'm supposed to stand up to them and tell them, No, you can't take your child. And why would I say that? These three I just got rid of my kids. I'm not trying to volunteer to get more.

00:09:09:28 - 00:09:25:11

Unknown

So but anyway, and I'm and this is what I said. I said, baby, listen, we just got to turn it over to God. Yeah, you just. We just got to let it go. And that she then take that answer very. She didn't appreciate that answer at all because we had this conversation for the rest of the week all.

00:09:25:11 - 00:09:54:11

Unknown

And her biggest thing was, well, when they take him away and he's gone so long, is he good? Because Brandy has this this relationship with her grandparents. They hung the moon in the stars, her grandparents. She adores her grandparents and wants her grandchildren. They feel the same way about her. And so she was scared that if they if if the parents took their children away, that they would not be the same way with her.

00:09:54:11 - 00:10:18:10

Unknown

Well, lo and behold, all these grandpa, all these grand boys think they gma, not their grandparents, by the way, that GMA hung the moon and the stars and Superman lives with her. That's how they feel. And so I told her, Well, listen, we got to give it to God. All those of us who have children, especially when they became adults, know that exact feeling.

00:10:18:20 - 00:10:35:06

Unknown

You just got to take what is precious and yours and do what you got to give it to God. And a lot of times we have lifestyles and things in our life that we have to do what we got to give it to God, we have to give our relationships to God. We have to give our careers to God.

00:10:35:07 - 00:11:00:08

Unknown

We have to give our children to God. Now, this this is the balance of being in faith and being in the believer, because all of this that we're talking about is not seen. Same means I know it, I understand it, I comprehend it. I can do it on my own. I can handle it on my own. Faith requires you.

00:11:00:11 - 00:11:21:20

Unknown

You don't see it. You don't understand it, it don't make sense, and you can't do it on your own. Now that what I just said, don't make no sense. But usually faith is on the edge of Don't make no sense. And so that is where that is not now. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself a little, but all of that is the relationship with the Kingdom of God.

00:11:21:20 - 00:11:40:13

Unknown

Everything I just said. Now we define the Kingdom of God. From Matthew 1619, you can put that up. Matthew 1619 says this I give you the keys to the kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on Earth by means to bind up wounds on Earth, we'll be bound in heaven. Whatever you lose on Earth will be loosed in heaven.

00:11:40:13 - 00:12:12:23

Unknown

Then leave that up for me, because this is telling us that the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven is responsive. That means it only responds to your response and it's only going to move or respond to your depth of it. Or how deep a hole, how profound you think it is. If you if you look at the kingdom of Heaven in the things of God as minor and small, then guess what?

00:12:12:23 - 00:12:37:06

Unknown

They're going to be in your life, minor and small, if you look at the things in the kingdom on that. Now, first off, listen, I didn't say religion, I didn't say church. I said the kingdom of heaven in the Kingdom of God, because that supersedes religion in the church. So if you look at those things as profound and deep and rich and important, then guess what?

00:12:37:06 - 00:13:02:29

Unknown

They're going to be in your life profound and deep and rich and important. So it's never going to move to you outside of an equal measure of you moving to it. That is, I'm a tagged on on Facebook. It's never going to move to you outside of an equal measure that you're moving to with. Okay, it's always going to be responsive.

00:13:03:03 - 00:13:33:27

Unknown

Now, it doesn't change the love of God. And that's why a lot of times we get confused because the love of God and then the actions of the Kingdom of Heaven do not correspond with each other. God loves you as much as He loves you beyond eternity. He loves you beyond anything in the world. But your favor and access to him is always going to be a measure to the importance that you give him, how you value the things of the kingdom.

00:13:34:03 - 00:13:58:24

Unknown

It's going to determine what you get from it, what you draw from it, how you understand from a work hard, deep one is because you have a pastor who likes to go deep. He doesn't like to just look and read, but he's trying to find the hidden deep, deep, deep, deep, deep truth of the Word of God, because there's a profound this and there's a depth that's inside of it.

00:13:59:00 - 00:14:25:10

Unknown

And because I have the ability and the opportunity to be able to question things that other pastors or other previous pastors may not have had. Me and my mom talk about this a lot because I come home that she just turned 80. She just turned 80. But she listens to my sermons and still grows. Has been pastoring Pastor been pastor for 30 years but yes there her son comes along to Chicago and this is what she says.

00:14:26:17 - 00:14:53:23

Unknown

I've never heard of talk like that. But you're right, we never saw the scriptures that way. But you're right. And I always, always give respect because I say this, Mama, the reason I can ask those questions is because y'all asked them first and y'all built it on something else. And God gave me this, and this was in this place with you guys is the only place I was talking to her the other day and I said, You know what?

00:14:54:00 - 00:15:13:01

Unknown

I've got a lot of friends who have churches and I've got a lot of friends who don't conferences and teachings. Nobody asked me to come speak at the church as a nobody. And one day that really bothered me. It really did. I'm like, Dude, I've known you for 15 years. You ain't asked me once you came and talk of my church, but like you even asked me to come and speak at your church.

00:15:13:05 - 00:15:31:13

Unknown

I've known you for ten years. You ain't asked me to come and speak at church. I hang out with y'all at breakfast and nobody asks me. I'm going, what's wrong with me that don't nobody want me to come speak at their church? And one day I was in my little pity party about it. And I said, Lord, why have I not been able to go speak at these people's church?

00:15:31:15 - 00:15:49:28

Unknown

And this is what he told me. He said, Tommy, I do not need you going to somebody else's church, dropping a few things. I gave you a mess up the whole congregation. Some of the things I showed you, you can't just go to a church and share it and walk away. Then they think their pastor don't know what he's talking about.

00:15:49:28 - 00:16:12:07

Unknown

If you come and say some of the stuff you say, he says. So the only place that I can have you, at least on what you're doing is on Sundays in your own church. He said, I have you staying here to protect them from you because you try to go to too. Is it because you're trying that you're wanting to go so deep in that deep is so important to you?

00:16:12:23 - 00:16:38:04

Unknown

And that is why you get so much from the kingdom. It's responsive to who we are. Now, if we go to Luke 638 Excuse me, we're going to start in verse 37. Luke 637 Now it's a very interesting scripture that I have read many times, but based upon what we just the beginning, we just had, we're going to have a different understanding of this scripture.

00:16:38:07 - 00:16:57:28

Unknown

Okay. So Luke 637 says, do not judge A You will not be judged, do not condemn, you will not be condemn, forgive, and you will be forgiven, give and that will be given to you. A good measure pressed down, shaking together and running over will be put into your lap for with the measure you use, it will be measure to you.

00:16:57:28 - 00:17:16:11

Unknown

Now go back to the beginning, verse 37. Now I have always read Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn me, you will not be condemned. Forgive me, you will be forgiven. Okay, got that three things. And then we going to give and it will be given to you in the first 38 to the first 38 and then it goes giving it would be given to you.

00:17:16:11 - 00:17:39:16

Unknown

Now, every teaching and every reading separated verse 37 in verse 38. And when we go to a good measure, pressed down, shaking again, then running over will be pointing to your lap. We always referred that to the giving part. We all always said That's that's Jesse. So he talked about judging, he talked about condemning, he talked about forgiving.

00:17:39:16 - 00:17:51:27

Unknown

And now he's going to tell us about giving. And then we'll begin to do the giving, the good measure, press that shaking together and running over will be putting you left for with the measure you use, it will be measure to you. And that's I begin to read this, the Holy Spirit and I need you to read that again.

00:17:51:27 - 00:18:09:02

Unknown

He had me read it ten times like I'm like, okay, I guess I didn't get it and I didn't get it until the 10th time. That's what he told me ten times. And so the 10th time he said, no, go back to verse 37. We're going to talk, go back and forth quite a bit. Verse 37 says, Do not judge in the way of not do not judge, and you will not be just do not condemn it.

00:18:09:02 - 00:18:29:13

Unknown

You will not be condemned. Forgiving it will be forgiving you. Verse 38 Giving and it will be giving you. Now all of this together a good measure pressed down, shaking together, running over will be pointed to your left to the measure you use, it will be measured to you. So to the measure we use in judging, it will be just back to us.

00:18:30:19 - 00:19:17:13

Unknown

The measure we using candle timing, it would be giving back to us. The measure we use in forgiving it would be giving back to us the measure we use in giving it will be given back to us. So remember I talked about the king because the Kingdom of God is what response if it's responsive now that were let's see that were measure very interesting Greek word and it's really a measurement properly it's to measure the actual measurement but figure two lovely what it's saying is this is the basis for determining what is enough or not enough or what is fair and not fair.

00:19:18:13 - 00:19:59:18

Unknown

Now I have grown up with it's not fair for 20 years with my children. I heard it's not fair. That's not fair. And even as adults, a lot of times we run into the that's not fair. What's fair and to measure is to decide what's fair. It's also a controlling basis by which something is determined as accept, doable or unacceptable, in particular referring to the Lord Himself as being the only ultimate measurement of truth.

00:20:00:17 - 00:20:37:11

Unknown

So when it talks about for the measure, we use the same measurement we use for determining what's fair and not fair, what's acceptable and not acceptable. It's what's going to be measured against us for what is fair and not fair, what is acceptable and not acceptable. See, that's why he says don't judge, because to the same measure we judge, it's going to be judged back to us.

00:20:38:27 - 00:21:02:29

Unknown

We can't judge next week, we're going to talk about what it means to condemn. But today we're going to talk about judgment in a very particular way, because last week we talked about things that could be blocking our prayers. So it's very possible to be praying one thing, but really you're believing something else. And the kingdom only responds to, well, I say faith.

00:21:04:01 - 00:21:27:05

Unknown

So you can be saying one thing, but you're believing something else. And a lot of times are believing can be held up by a judgment. We have something that we have determined, well, this is fair and this is not fair, and this here is right and this is wrong. And we've made all these judgments and then we're confessing things.

00:21:27:05 - 00:21:54:20

Unknown

But the kingdom is saying, Yeah, I know what you're saying, but because you have a judgment, I can't bring you what you're praying for because you've already judged and you've already determined something. All right. Let me not get too far ahead. All right. So last week we talked about forgiveness. This week, we're going to talk about judging now the word judge actually means to decide this, whether in law, core or privately.

00:21:54:20 - 00:22:35:29

Unknown

Sometimes it's emphasized with the notion to decide what is good, properly, separate, to distinguished, to come to a choice, either positive or to give the verdict. So when we make a judgment of any kind, we're declaring this is what the verdict is. You guys have all seen Judge Judy and she is in control of her court. And when she gives the verdict, it ain't there's no argument.

00:22:35:29 - 00:22:57:27

Unknown

And when somebody tries to argue, she argues back. She would shut them down. She would tell them be quiet. She would let them know their place in her court. She's in control of her courtroom. And this is the verdict done. Finished. It's over. You can go out and do your little interview afterwards. You can have your pity party about the verdict.

00:22:57:28 - 00:23:24:02

Unknown

But what she says in her courtroom goes, no argument. And if you try to argue, she will rebut it and let you know she's in control of what's happening in that place. Now, all of us are the judge Judy's of our life. And when situations of any kind arise, we have an opportunity to do what I said last week.

00:23:24:02 - 00:23:49:09

Unknown

It's all good and walk away, render no opinion. But most of the time we're going to give our own verdict. We're going to judge it. And based upon that judgment. Now, here's the thing that that's very important about being a lawyer. Whenever there's a verdict that comes down and the judge says it's final, they can use that for anything else now.

00:23:49:23 - 00:24:13:11

Unknown

So now when you make a judgment in your life, everything in your life now has to be viewed through that picture. What no matter what it is, everything has to be viewed to that picture. Okay. If you grew up and your parents told you you never going to amount to nothing again, never going to be nothing. Okay, now they put that curse on you.

00:24:13:11 - 00:24:30:19

Unknown

You have to receive that curse on you. And when you receive that curse, you have judged it as true for you. So then you go through your life. Doing what? Not never being nothing. Never amounting to nothing. I'm never going to be nothing Never going to mountain nothing I'm never going to be nothing I'm never going to amount to nothing.

00:24:31:00 - 00:24:55:05

Unknown

There are people who have had multi-million dollar success that have committed suicide. There are people who we know have been stars who you would think, why did that? Why did they do that? Why would they ever hurt themselves? Why would they hang themselves? Why would they shoot themselves? And then you going to have a deep depression that was there since childhood.

00:24:56:14 - 00:25:24:20

Unknown

So even though they were living their life and they spend what we would call a successful manner, but within them there was a judgment so deep that it cost them their life. That's a no, that's a very extreme way of of of dealing with judgment. But all of us may have these little things within us that we've either accepted, received or declared on our own.

00:25:25:27 - 00:25:40:19

Unknown

This is the way things are. This is how it's going to be. This is what the future is going to look like. This is the way it's going to be. This is the way it should be. This is how it's happening. This is the way it's going to happen. And when we do that, then when we go to God in prayer, God has to go.

00:25:40:19 - 00:25:58:16

Unknown

Okay, but you already said this is the way it's going to happen. This is the way it's going to be. This is the way it's always going to be. This is the way it should be. And so I can't do anything outside of that, because what did I say at the beginning? God, always the kingdom of heaven always operates out of what we don't know, what we can't see, what we can understand, what we can't comprehend.

00:25:58:16 - 00:26:30:27

Unknown

It makes no sense. And yet still, if we have these judgments in our life, we can't get past that. We can't. We can't. The kingdom can't. Excuse me. The kingdom can't get us past that. He can't get us past what we see, what we believe, what we're holding on to, what's keeping us from manifesting first Corinthians four Starting a verse for 1415 I think yeah, I gave you guys that it says my conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent.

00:26:30:27 - 00:26:57:22

Unknown

This is Paul talking. It is the Lord who what judge is me. It's the Lord who judges me, therefore judge nothing before it's appointed time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness will expose the motives of the heart, and that at that time each will receive their praise from God. Keep verse four up there for me.

00:26:58:07 - 00:27:24:03

Unknown

All right, the appointed time. Now he can excuse me first. Fine. He can be talking about this two things. He can be talking about the point of time when Christ comes in the at the end of the age. Okay, so you can be talking about that. But there's also a time of confirmation of faith. Confirmation of the faith is I've been standing on it, I've been believing it.

00:27:24:20 - 00:27:48:01

Unknown

And now the Lord has shown up. There's an appointed time where what we believe will be exposed to us. I'm not worried about the exposing to others. We always have this thing because we've seen it in the in the in time movies. Will all of your message shown on the screen for all people to see what you then did.

00:27:48:17 - 00:28:15:11

Unknown

You know I'm not out of I don't know about any of that, but I do know that there are moments in my life, too, where I've been believing something, and then there's a confirmation of faith. And at that time, the Holy Spirit exposes the motive of my heart. We can judge anything passes. I don't even I don't even judge myself.

00:28:16:11 - 00:28:37:06

Unknown

Now, you can go to the extreme because there are people go to the extreme with the word to say, okay, so you're telling me that we don't, you know, judge other people, even if they're doing evil or wrong or what's bad? We can't judge that. And no, no, no. He's talking about the motive of the person's heart. We don't know a person's heart motive.

00:28:37:11 - 00:29:04:11

Unknown

We can look at their actions and their actions bring us to a conclusion. But it may not tell us what the motive of their heart was. And seeing if you catch somebody in the middle of process, it can look like failure if you catch anything. Look, the cross looked like failure. Two for three days. It looked like failure to the disciples for three days.

00:29:04:11 - 00:29:28:24

Unknown

It looked like complete failure when he was being crucified. It looked like failure when the Romans put him on that cross. It looked like failure when they took him down. And he was his body was dead. It looked like failure. Everything this man has told us for three years, it don't look like it's going to happen. We are still in bondage.

00:29:28:27 - 00:29:58:19

Unknown

There's nothing that has changed. And he's died. He's in the tomb. The next day they wake up. He still there? The next day he's still there. So it looked like complete failure on the third day. It took three days before it's. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. It's not failure. It this wasn't failure. This was the process he was talking about.

00:29:59:12 - 00:30:17:09

Unknown

A lot of times you can catch us. If you if you catch people in the middle, it will look like complete failure. If you catch him in the process of something, it can look like failure if you catch him right during the start. If you look at somebody building a house, there's pictures all over all over the Internet.

00:30:17:09 - 00:30:43:16

Unknown

We look at a mansion, a beautiful, beautiful mansion, but then you see them at the beginning stages. It looks terrible. The ground is all tore the the windows. There's concrete, a mess everywhere, the scaffolding all over the place, there's no paint. It just looks utterly disgusting. And then you give it three months and oh, my gosh, would you look at this if someone were to walk up on that house after the first month ago?

00:30:43:16 - 00:31:20:06

Unknown

You know what? This looks absolutely crazy. They just judged the process. It's crazy. This looks absolutely like nonsense. They just judge that. If you would have caught me and passed the brandy 15 years ago. Ten years ago. Seven years ago. They passed it last week. No, look, if you were to call us in the process, many people have seen this in the process and go in the process.

00:31:20:06 - 00:31:35:10

Unknown

I don't understand how these folks are going to be together another year. I don't understand is people going to be able to do nothing together. But we was in the process, my sister Maria, she asked me yesterday, So how long have you been married? And I signed her and told her 27 years. And I said she can bring this.

00:31:35:10 - 00:31:59:05

Unknown

What does she want to know how long we married? And I told her, 27 years. Bring Stella a long time. So I did I tell a long time. That's a long, long time. Long time. 27 years. Been together almost 30. It's been to get now we've been together 30 years, been married 27 years. If you were to catch us anywhere during that 30 years, it's the process.

00:32:00:10 - 00:32:32:13

Unknown

I'm in process. Now, here's the interesting thing about this. This is cool about judging, okay? You can be and you can. Okay, okay. Two things. Give it to me. You can call your mess and claim it in faith as process you. You can call yo mess and now you can call it you know what? Now I'm in the process.

00:32:33:21 - 00:32:59:10

Unknown

No, no, no. You know what this seem like? Absolute nonsense. Crazy. Lord, I'm in process. This ain't nonsense. I'm in the process. I'm up my mansion. Looks like absolute disarray. But it's going to be a mansion when I get done. I'm this is this is process is what this is. I'm not going to judge it as stupid, insane.

00:32:59:13 - 00:33:14:06

Unknown

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm sick and tired. I'm not going to cry. Look, we call every we judge everything sick and tired. We throw that out real quick. I'm not going to I'm not going to just call it sick and tired. I'm not going to call it mess. I'm not going to call it nonsense. I'm not going to call it stupidity.

00:33:14:09 - 00:33:30:05

Unknown

I'm not going to call it failure. I'm not going to call it. I give up. I'm not going to call it. I'm done with I'm the guy. I'm not going to call it any of that stuff. I'm not going to judge it and give it that verdict. What if anything, I'm just going to begin to call it process.

00:33:30:05 - 00:33:51:13

Unknown

I'm just in the process. I'm just growing. I'm just learning. I'm still developing. I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm still getting wisdom in knowledge. I'm still dealing with myself. I'm still trying to figure out what I need to do. I don't even know my own emotions anymore. I'm changing, I'm growing, I'm developing, I'm becoming. I'm looking at something a new I'm a fresh look.

00:33:51:13 - 00:34:11:12

Unknown

The teaching in my life is because I'm changing. That's why things look crazy. It's because I'm changing. And because of all of that, I'm drawing on what the unseen. And I'm pulling things from the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of God now has to respond. And according to what I just said, so because I put all this effort in, I call it process.

00:34:11:18 - 00:34:51:14

Unknown

The kingdom has a responsibility now to transfer from the kingdom. What healing wisdom. Knowledge, understanding and manifest for me. My mansion, that that's what it means to respond to the kingdom. So the kingdom come respond to me. I'm not going to judge you. I'm not going to name it anything. I'm not going to call it fail you. I told you super do for 2 hours was trying to steal everybody's stuff.

00:34:53:02 - 00:35:16:02

Unknown

But he ain't going to stay that way. He walked up to my son in law, my son Jeremy, and took his plate of food. And what do we all do? We looked at Jeremy. You're just got to let that boy take your food. Now, we took the plate away from from hero said no. But guess what? He's in the process.

00:35:16:29 - 00:35:39:23

Unknown

Why would we yell at him, spank him, put him in timeout? Now, if he's, you know, 18 years old doing that, then we got to issue, you know, you know, an 18 you can punch a boy in the face. So. Okay, I take that back. I know. I take it back. I know. I know Brandy's mom is going to get on me and tell me, you know, son, there's people out there who may think I said 18, though.

00:35:40:05 - 00:36:01:00

Unknown

I said 18. I didn't say a chance. I said it 18 and 18. You could punch a boy in the face. All right. But he's in the process. So we respect it as he's in the process of growing. He's in the process. He he's he's trying to talk. He's in the process of talking. We don't tell him. Don't say nothing to Teague.

00:36:01:03 - 00:36:26:01

Unknown

Say a full word. We actually talk back to him. It's gibberish. He thinks he's off to him. He's communicating to us. We don't know what he's saying, but we'll talk back to him and guess we will. We'll talk back to him in his same language. Well, you know, we'll do all those things because he's in the process. We don't judge him as a failure.

00:36:26:17 - 00:36:47:03

Unknown

We recognize what he's in the process of growth. He's still a stuff from the other kids because he's in the process of growth. He's working on talking, but he's in the process of growth. He's crying and falling out on the floor. We just look at him, some get up, he's amazing. He'll fall out and cry with no tears.

00:36:47:03 - 00:37:12:28

Unknown

And then you tell him, Get out of here, get up and walk away. You gonna tell him that's fake, you know, because he's in the process. He's in the process. We don't judge what it is we call it. It's the process. Me and Brandy was in the process. We doing some of the process, but we still it's the process.

00:37:13:07 - 00:37:40:24

Unknown

Look, it's what it is. And because we understand forgiveness. What do we say? It's all good. It's all good. We're in the process. This ain't the end. It ain't over. This ain't done cos they're working on us cos they've got a lot to do with us. But I'm going to stay in the place of faith so that the healing can come and I can have the fuel and the energy to stay in the process.

00:37:40:24 - 00:38:06:28

Unknown

I don't judge and I can judge. I'm not going to put a label on what I said, man. I'm not going to put a label on what I see right now. This a great picture. All of us have been in the process of growth. How would you feel in the middle of that growth if somebody wrote on a label like to give us in school and put an eye in the middle that and put on it, put that on.

00:38:06:28 - 00:38:43:29

Unknown

You lost. Well, no, no, no, no. I'm still not right now. You lost. So that's what I'm going to label you lost. Oh, I'm going. Oh, oh, discouraged. Bam. That's you. You're discouraged. No, I'm still, you know, I'm working on. Yeah, I'm feeling a little down the day but not you're discouraged. That's what you are. You know, we talk about bringing things to light, manifesting things from the supernatural, bringing things from the spirits around.

00:38:44:07 - 00:39:02:18

Unknown

We talk about that, and I think I said this last week, there are times when I'm going, okay, Lord, I'm confessing, I'm believing, I'm declaring, I'm, you know, I'm calling forth and I'm not seeing things happen as fast as I want them to see happen. But see if if he manifest the good things immediately, then guess what? He has the manifest.

00:39:02:18 - 00:39:27:27

Unknown

Also when I get that label discovers he got a gold k, you are discouraged. So we're going to manifest discouragement right now. Lord, I'm glad you're patient, Lord. I'm glad that you don't do you don't take what I label myself when I had a bad day. I'm glad you're merciful with that. I'm glad you're patient with me because that's what he puts on you.

00:39:27:27 - 00:40:03:11

Unknown

You know what? This is good. This is good because this is what he's judged you as. Love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, gentleness, meekness, self-control. He called those the fruits of his spirit. And he said, That's what you got in you in abundance. You've got an abundance of love. Love is patient, love is high. It does not envy, does not boast.

00:40:03:26 - 00:40:43:00

Unknown

It is not proud, it is not rude. It keeps record of wrong. And that's the hardest one for me. It keeps no record of wrongs. God is love. Wow, God is love. Thank you, Lord, that you don't catch us when we've labeled ourself. Thank you, Lord, that you have not labeled as failure and thank you that we don't have to submit to somebody else's label of who we are in our life.

00:40:43:00 - 00:41:20:23

Unknown

We can all we we have the ability to only accept what he has given us, to accept and believe. We don't judge. No, it's very difficult to not judge things, especially when the things of the world. Okay. Now, here's the interesting thing about the things of the world. The reason we don't acquaint ourselves with the things of the world is because they are things of the world.

00:41:22:10 - 00:41:54:19

Unknown

So when we the thing we get in trouble with is when we try to apply Christian values to worldliness, it messes us up because there are those are things of the world. So you can't take Christian values in. I found this out a very difficult way. I was talking to a guy work. This had to be about 20, 25 years ago and I was at work and the guy won the believer and he let me know he was not a believer, but he knew I was a believer.

00:41:54:24 - 00:42:11:15

Unknown

And so we're working together and he begins to tell me of some trouble he's having. And I'm listening and he's telling me about this troubling, this stuff, this and the other. I'm listening to him. And then I go to say to him, Well, listen, the scripture says graders he then he graders he then you then hear this in the world.

00:42:11:15 - 00:42:38:10

Unknown

I said, Well, graders, he in the Holy Spirit says, Not in him his time. He said, Not in him. He don't believe there is no greater of me in him than he lives in the world. All he got is the world, so he got to figure it out on his own. Shocked me, but it was it brought me to a real reality of what the place of faith really is.

00:42:38:23 - 00:43:07:14

Unknown

You can't take faith and move it into an unbeliever. You can't apply your faith on somebody who does not believe. You can't initiate it. So so systems of the world, things of the world. You can apply faith. You can move faith into them. I know. Listen, we pray for the outcomes of elections all the time, but the people that are put in office are put in office unsaved and unsaved.

00:43:08:13 - 00:43:33:17

Unknown

So it's not appointed by God. That position is appointed by God, but the determination is up to the people who appoint those people. So no matter how hard we try to pray for something, it doesn't change the amount of people that's going to get out there and vote and make something happen. Now, God is always able to redeem situations, but those of us who live by faith always rise, always increase, and always have an end result.

00:43:33:17 - 00:44:05:11

Unknown

So it doesn't matter to us very much. So that's why we can apply things of the world to that lesson. I use this example all the time. I am an Atlanta Falcons fan. Trust me, I know what unanswered prayers mean. I have prayed the outcomes weekly for a season and have not seen my prayers answered. I have prayed during the offseason for changes to come and they do not come in my way in my favor.

00:44:06:02 - 00:44:38:07

Unknown

I pray people to sit down, people to leave, other teams, other teams to move out of my way so that we can get to the place of success that I want. And the Lord has not answered the so I know what that means. You can't apply faith to those things. We, we, we can't. Now what that should do is this and I'm close with this that should do two things for us.

00:44:39:16 - 00:45:04:10

Unknown

One, y'all know me as a pastor of encouragement. So this is always to encourage and never to discourage. We should be leaving here today, looking at the situations of our life in one, either responding to them by faith or moving them into faith. That's what we should be doing. Am I moving this thing and am I giving it to you?

00:45:04:10 - 00:45:26:14

Unknown

God have I'm moving this thing in my submitting it to you, Lord, am I am I giving it to you? And then my bringing it to you in prayer and confession and waiting for your response. And because I'm bringing it to you and because I'm trusting you, I'm believing in you. I'm putting all I have in you and I'm putting my faith in you that the Kingdom of Heaven has to respond in kind.

00:45:27:11 - 00:45:50:28

Unknown

So. So that's the first thing we should be be going. Okay, so let me examine and make sure I'm bringing everything to him by faith. The reason people get caught up on tithes, offerings and financial gifts, but the reason the Holy Spirit has us do that is because once you take that which is consumed your life, you spent the better part of your week, the better part of your day, your education, your skill set, and your mindset.

00:45:51:02 - 00:46:11:21

Unknown

You're going to take it a piece of your whole life. And when you give it to God or you give it in a in a in a responsible way to the kingdom, then the kingdom responds to you the same way. That's all he's trying to do is I need you to move everything you have of you into the Kingdom of God, because now the kingdom has it has nothing to do.

00:46:11:25 - 00:46:41:18

Unknown

Now the kingdom has got it. Now I've seen what you're giving now I've seen what you're doing. Remember I said every week it's a physical manifestation of what you believe, so it brings everything into the light of faith. The second thing is many of us may be in process. I know I am, and don't get stuck and accept the label of failure in process.

00:46:41:18 - 00:47:12:27

Unknown

Don't, don't, don't. Just don't stop. Stay in the process. Keep moving in the process. Keep drawing on the unseen. Allow, allow the process to be the place of growth for you. Just stay there and call it process call. I'm on my way. Somebody I heard this and probably Steve Hind said if you go through hell, keep going. Because on the other side is heaven.

00:47:12:27 - 00:47:34:04

Unknown

If you if you're on the you said, look, I'm on the wrong side, that will get then keep moving to the right side. Don't stay there. Don't call it that. I'm in the process. I'm still growing, I'm still moving, I'm still developing. That's where I am. You know, Hero loves being a singer, too, right? He loves him, too.

00:47:34:14 - 00:47:57:08

Unknown

And he loves the illumination song at the beginning. It's hilarious because he'll get up and sing it. It's the cutest thing in the world. But he loves singing, too. There's a scene in Sing Too, with a little koala bear is talking to. I'm not sure who she is. It's like, is his friend or mentor and he talks about how he's not cut out to do that kind of production.

00:47:58:17 - 00:48:36:17

Unknown

And she says something to him, I call it the first time. And then yesterday when I was cooking, he had the movie on and I heard it again. The second time she said, Well, maybe they're right. Maybe you're just not cut out for this. And something just sang me a song sing right to sing in my heart both times when things get difficult, we have a choice to surrender to the difficulty, improve the difficulty, correct, or to decide to keep moving and prove it wrong.

00:48:36:17 - 00:49:03:23

Unknown

Prove it wrong. You know, I use me and brand is an example a lot because when me and Brandi got married, there were four, I think four other couples around our age that were already married before us. They were all friends of mine. So I got married last out of the group of friends. Out of the whole group of friends.

00:49:04:05 - 00:49:31:25

Unknown

Me and Brandi are the only ones still married. We're the only couple still married. And part of that was for me. I know I heard from God, and I just don't want to do anything outside of the will of God. And I'm doing this the same thing for her. I mean, many people go with Pastor Bradley. She's with you because she loves you and because you're a great husband and you're amazing and handsome and all that is true.

00:49:32:12 - 00:49:59:12

Unknown

All that's true. All that oh, that's true. All right, just let me get it. I'm on tape. All this true. But but the better part of it is because the Holy Spirit talks to her and has told her, no, y'all live together in the same thing for me. I'm not going nowhere. I'm just. Just not going nowhere. We're just going to have to work out our difficulties.

00:49:59:23 - 00:50:18:23

Unknown

We just have to figure out what we doing. But we ain't going nowhere. We just got to work. We just going to have to work this thing out. That's it. And a lot of times in separate rooms and separate corners and separate, we just got to work it out. We just got we just got to figure this thing out.

00:50:19:00 - 00:50:40:16

Unknown

But we both have agreed to figure this thing out. We remain steadfast. We're not just going to quit. We're not just going to give up. We're still in the process of growing. We're still in the process of becoming. I know we could become better. The world community, the church is in the process of growing. I know it's going to become better.

00:50:40:24 - 00:51:01:18

Unknown

All of you in the process of growing, I know all of you are going to become better and know your lives and marriages and situations are going to be transformed and can become better. And if it's good now, it can become even better in the kingdom. I know there's lives waiting to be touched by what we have here in the lives we need to be touched aren't just from me talking, but it's from the lives that you guys have.

00:51:02:01 - 00:51:31:29

Unknown

Y'all are already experiencing people going, what's on you and how can I get what's on you? You're in the process. Don't let judgment, short circuits or process. I think I'm going to name this sermon that on YouTube. Okay, Father God, I give you going on in praise, Lord, Lord, I thank you so much that all the labels that we have put on, all the in our lives are being ripped off right now.

00:51:32:27 - 00:51:57:19

Unknown

I see AIDS going around, but, you know, like the little labels they put on you, they know name tags is what I see. And on there are things like discouragement, failure. I'm never going to amount to something. This isn't going to work. That's never going to happen. All those labels I see, angels going around houses and apartments and ripping them off, just ripping the labels all off that we have written on different things.

00:51:57:19 - 00:52:21:00

Unknown

I see the whole of the angels going down and ripping them off and situations. I see them ripping them off of cubicles, their work. I see them ripping them off the inside of our cars and ripping them off the mirrors. Oh, my Lord, this mirrors full of them. And I just see them ripping them off of just different things, just pulling those labels of discouragement, oppressed failure.

00:52:21:05 - 00:53:12:08

Unknown

Nothing, can't be nothing. Never going to change all those labels he's going through just ripping them down so that now when we walk into our life, it's all clear and clean. I see us fresh and a new. We don't judge no more. We don't judge others. We don't judge ourselves. No more judgment, no more judgment. And all I see is them replacing it with Now grow, now, grow, now, grow, grow, see them drawing little trees and put in psalms.

00:53:12:28 - 00:53:43:12

Unknown

Chapter one The you are like a tree playing up out of rivers of water. You're going to bring forth your fruit and your season, your leaf. Whenever we're there and everything you put your hand to will prosper. Just drawing the tree and putting Psalms chapter one next to it. Get rid of the judgment and receive the refreshing rivers of the Lord.

00:53:43:12 - 00:54:22:17

Unknown

No more judgment. Just grow, just grow, just grow. Lord, I received that picture from my life. Lord, I thank you that we are in the process of growing, that we would not declare a verdict of anything. Lord, that will be careful not to name anything, but we will only call it faith process and growth. Father, we've learned to forgive, and now we know not to judge.

00:54:23:27 - 00:54:45:13

Unknown

Though I hope and pray that we walk out of here feeling lighter than we did when we came in. And we give you glory. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much, Holy Spirit. Father, if there's anyone who's watching who does not know who you are, they don't have a relationship with you. And their hearts are open to receiving a hearing from you.

00:54:45:13 - 00:55:22:27

Unknown

Lord, Father, we celebrate their decision, and if they would reach out to us a deep wildness, that sexy force last prayer. Lord, we would love to pray for them. We love praying for people. We love prayer reports, praise reports, and so that they will reach out to us for prayer. Lord, if any of our members or anyone watching needs prayer, that they would do the same thing so that we can pray for them as we continually pray for those who need healing at the World Community Church and anyone else outside Father, that from your kingdom you will bring healing and that our prayers are not blocked in Jesus name.

00:55:22:27 - 00:55:43:17

Unknown

Laura, we thank you. Thank you. Thank you for father. We thank you for the gifts that come the deep waters community, the church, those who are partnered with us financially. Lord And as you've showed us that our giving is a physical manifestation of our faith, though that would taking a small percentage of our life product and we're giving it to you.

00:55:44:18 - 00:56:07:23

Unknown

And then like kind Lord, you respond you respond to us in words and actions, signs. One does the miracles the father. Most of all, you respond to us from the goodness of who you are, Lord, that we know we can turn and have you there because of this relationship we have with you and words and deeds. So, Father, thank you for them.

00:56:07:23 - 00:56:30:23

Unknown

Thank you for the gifts, bless their homes, bless their families, increase them in areas that they need it the most. Lord, that your abundance may be poured out. We thank you. Thank you. Thank you so very much. Laura and father, we thank you for those who are members of deep waters, those who are visitors and those who are coming.

00:56:31:25 - 00:56:56:03

Unknown

Lord, we continue to pray. The man from the north, south, east and west Father, that families homes will come to the waters committee, the church, and be drawn to the word, the deep depth of your word. We thank you that those who are bound will be loosed and father, those who are tied up will be set free from the message deliberating message at the Workers Community Church.

00:56:56:18 - 00:57:33:29

Unknown

So we thank you so much that they are coming to hear your word, Lord, and that we here are ready to minister to them. We give you going on in praise. We bless you this day a man. Amen. Let's finally close for good. I got 2 minutes next week we're going to talk about do not condemn. And there's actually a sequence that you're going to see that we start off with don't judge, don't condemn, forgive and give in is intentional, that the process is that way.

00:57:33:29 - 00:57:53:03

Unknown

And of course, as always, when we get to the condemn, it's going to be very deep. It's going to be very, very deep. So you guys have a blessed and wonderful afternoon and a blessed and wonderful day. Continue to keep all of us in your prayers, keep the words community, church in your prayers. And as I ask before, continue to pray that those who are seeking will come as much as me and pass the bring their praying.
