01 Divine Invasion - Curry Blake 2019

[Music] so I've known this man since 2008 and the first time that I met him I saw that he's different than every other preacher that I met he is one of the most humble Asst people that I've ever met yet I don't know of too many other people that know the Word of God the way he does and when he presents the word he uses the word to prove the word and that is life and that is strength and that is the message that sets people free there's way too many messages out there that people will use a scripture and an input their own opinion and brother curry does not use his opinion he uses the Word of God as the final authority and builds everything on it and this message works it's practical it sets people free and we see it working here in Portland we have a human room we have a small church going and it's been an amazing time just seeing how simple how he was able to simplify the gospel the truth into practical everyday applications where you can take the Word of God and apply it in your daily life because growing up I'd hear the word of God and then when I believe church on Monday first I wouldn't even remember most of it and then I couldn't do anything with it what's the point of the Word of God if you can't do anything if you can't apply it in your life what's the point of it it doesn't do anything but brother Kerr he takes the Word of God and he simplifies it into a way to where you can take it and apply it in your daily life at work at home in school while you're driving while at the store while you're at the restaurant and you where you go you can apply this message and we're so excited that he's here with us tonight and I'd like brother Currie to come up and let's give him a hand thank you back [Applause] move this up a little bit good okay all right well first off I really appreciate all of you coming out tonight and coming out for this week I do expect us to have a time with the Lord to hear what he's saying to hear what we need to do from here to move forward I will say you know we don't not not a lot of people get to hear what they hope their eulogy would sound like I'm blessed I get to hear it but I will tell you you know a person that has you know six seven eight friends true friends is a blessed person I've never had just a lot of friends I've had a few friends that were very close friends because I found out that's the only true friends these when you have a whole bunch you really don't have near as many as you think you do but I will say that there's about if I had a problem in my life if I had if I needed prayer for something there are about six seven people and if I say seven people I'm talking about husband and wife as one there's about seven people in this world that I would call on and six of those people are in this room tonight so I truly am blessed and I'm thankful because what we do around the world I could not do without a team like we've got these these guys have proven themselves over and over again to just be all about the kingdom and just advancing the kingdom loving God and loving people and that's really everything that's everything wrapped up and if you can love God and love people do to others as you would have done to you there's really not much more to add to that and so I'm really thankful this message has completely saturated the Slavic speaking world simply because of Vito and Zack and the work that they put toward us going to Ukraine and Czech Republic and Poland and everywhere else where there are Slovak speaking people and so I'm very thankful for all the efforts that they have put forth and so bringing us here off to this meeting bringing us back into Portland you know Portland has always been dear to my heart it's always I came very close to moving here several years ago and for over a year we drove up here every month all the way from Texas and we were here it took about half the month to get up here and get back and pitch to me but so but yeah but it's always been good and then coming up and even with the history that this city has through John Lake the Wyatt Brothers I mean just and I don't wanna start a list because it would be too long but there's been so much that's gone on here and the sad part one of the things we're talking until today you know when John Lake passed away his message which is really the message of Dominion really died with him it shouldn't have but it did and it died for about 65 almost 70 years really nobody heard of it and nobody heard especially kind of the complete message they heard bits and pieces but I'm one of the big questions I had was okay well we're bringing this message back out its Bible we're sticking to the Bible people have asked me before you know what about John Lake he said this he said that he was a man you know he said stupid things at times right where he said things that were in line with the Bible we stick with him and the Bible where he said something it might not have been exactly Bible we stick with the Bible it's that simple John Lake didn't hang on the cross for me you know he didn't take the stripes for me he was a man of God but he was a man of God and as a man he made mistakes and so we look at those things and we don't have him we tell people this is what was said and you know some people try to make a bigger deal out of it than it was but you have to remember to who he was talking to at the time but the main thing that I was wondering was okay we're bringing this message back out and if and when I'm off the scene will the message die again and I can tell you now I know for a fact it will never die again this message is still spreading it's still growing it's simply the Bible and it's just the words of Jesus put into action really that's all it comes down to so I definitely want to thank the team that is putting all this together because it takes a lot of work to put something like this together and they were not even able to get into this facility until today so they they from this morning they started putting all this together all this was done today and so that's a lot of hard work so now this week I don't know everything the words gonna do he has not shared all that with me but he has shared a few things and I do see kind of the direction it's gonna go and then whatever else he wants to do we're just gonna go with what he wants to do we call this a divine invasion and when there's an invasion it means that there is a force coming in to dislodge another force out of the way so that a new order can be put into place and that's exactly what this is about and so be ready for change we're ready for difference I will tell you this one of the biggest things that that the Lord has been hammering into me over and over when Jesus came he did not come to start another religion he came to show us the Father's love for us he came to show us how to walk in that love and one of the main things is that as he when he came he didn't preach church the church was a tool that was and it was a body of people obviously that was being put together called out from the world but put together so that they could do what he was preaching which was the kingdom that's what he preached he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and so everything that he talked about was Kingdom know in saying that if you that's actually probably about two years ago I guess the more action maybe longer than that God sort ask me some strange questions and he said what are you gonna do when everybody gets healed I thought I will rejoice that would be a good thing that's that will be good he said no what are you gonna do you're gonna get bored after that are you gonna have something do you think you're just gonna sit down and do nothing you think that's when you're going to retire I said well I really hadn't thought that far ahead actually so but he said you can't think religion you can't think even and please hear me out okay because I know if I heard what I'm about to say I would go wait a minute excuse me so give me time to finish it okay but you can't just think doctrine one of the problems in the church over the last 2,000 years has been we have taken truth a living truth and turned it into a creed that we have to memorize and then try to live up to or we didn't fit in with that group that's religion that's not Kingdom and if somebody didn't live up to the standard that we thought the Bible set then we would cut them out and we were real quick to condemn or to somehow say you didn't measure up and we need to realize that that's the gospel you know that's why we're here is because we realize we don't measure up and we needed hell and Jesus said I'm your help I'll cover the gap in-between I'll take care of it now that doesn't mean he left us the way we were you know where he didn't just wipe us clean and say okay go get muddy again if you do I'll wipe you clean again he said I'm going to change you but in that change there's growth and there's process and there's progress in the growth the problem is we want grace for us but we want judgment on others and we want to say well judge me by my intentions while I judge you by your actions and we need to realize that we don't need to be judging anybody now I'm not saying we can't look at people's lives and look at their fruit because the Bible talks about judging fruit and yeah I get that but I do remember jesus said also that you shouldn't even be looking at the splinter in your brother's eye until you get the beam out of your own and too often we're so busy with the splinter that we never get around to getting the beam out of our own eye and one of the things that in reading the words of Jesus he was constantly emphasizing grace and mercy you know people were bringing people to him that were caught you know in the act of adultery other acts of sin that people wanted to point out and say what are you going to do about that and he always blasted the religious people more than he did the quote-unquote sinners and and I'm not making excuses for sin by any stretch all I'm saying is that when it comes down to it you really can't control anybody but yourself and honestly that's the main one you need to control and part of the one you control the least you know so if we really just focus on where God has us and where he wants us to be we really don't have time to be looking what everybody else is doing because for years now I've never not pastor Church in Dallas and in all that time we've been doing it since 12 I think it's when we started the church I've never been a pastor that just shows up at people's house to try to catch them you know in their everyday life you know and not worn my head of time so they can hide all their movies and you know all that kind of stuff I just never did that yeah I don't visit a lot of people's homes I there's a lot of hospitals and go in and pray for people but if somebody wants to meet most the time I'll say let's meet at a restaurant let's go and sit and talk and that way you don't have to worry about fixing food and me offending you if I don't eat your vegetables and you know some people get upset over that yeah but so I just I just turned look all I can do I'm not here to inspect your life I'm here to feed I'm here to find the truth share the truth and let you decide what you want to do with the truth and hopefully by the Spirit of God he can help me convince you to want to walk in the truth but beyond that there's nothing I can do there's nothing I can I can't make you do anything and when I realize that it was amazing how much easier my life got because all of a sudden I wouldn't having to think okay with what are they doing what are they doing here were they yeah you know when it came down to church when you got people that want to come in and gossip and that kind of stuff and you got a you got to do stuff about that but it's not the same as just trying to dictate everybody's life so whenever he asked me what am I gonna do when everybody gets healed and my first really wrong first response was you mean everybody's actually gonna get healed that would that would be great imagine if there was no more healings in it you know needed it'd be awesome that'd be Kingdom because that's the way it is in the kingdom yeah Jesus Jesus doesn't heal just to prove anything he heals because he paid for it and because he loves people in he doesn't listen Jesus does not want to have to heal you he wants you to live free he wants you to live it and divine health not just believing in divine healing and getting sick and getting him getting sick getting healed he wants you to live in divine health that's called freedom yeah and and there's a freedom in not having to worry about catching something or whatever's going to come around next and there's all kinds of stuff that's even going on now and one of the things that I started looking at is even how Kingdom operates and how we're supposed to be focusing on helping to show the kingdom of people and get them to walk in the kingdom because when you walk in the kingdom you walk in freedom and if you're not walking in freedom but yet you're doing Bible stuff then you're being religious pretty much that's why it works so when I started looking after I realizing okay so if what happens at the point where we don't have to have meetings like this in other words everybody grows up everybody starts walking just and in that process we can still felt but he's he told us at actually at one point he says in Hebrews two and he says in this new covenant every man won't have to tell his brother no the Lord what because if you don't know the Lord you're not in the New Covenant and yet even today you can go to most churches and they're constantly telling you know the Lord Oh get an intimate deep relationship with them via and and it they make you work at it yeah and they make you strain because you're trying to get this deeper relationship that's not the way relationships are built relationships are built by walking with someone spending time with him getting to know them knowing their likes their dislikes knowing their their opinion on things and getting your opinion in alignment with their opinion and when you can do that then the two can walk together and he tells us that our selves but it's also true about us and him that this is how we're to live this life he tells us that if we are if his spirit abides in us then we are in the spirit and no longer in the flesh and yet I still hear people talk about well man I got in the flesh of the name and he would bash them so I'm so embarrassed I got in the flesh got in a fight with somebody or give us something and got flesh and and they had this idea of being in the spirit or being in the flesh and he said but if you're in the spirit didn't walk in the spirit he said if we're in the spirit let us live in the spirit so now we're he's talking about walking in the spirit living in the spirit being in the spirit this is life it's how life is supposed to be it's supposed to be and and here's one of the sad parts is that Jesus you know there's only a couple of things that he said he left us and yet the main thing that he said over and over again was my peace I leave you my peace not peace like the world has but my peace I leave you and yet when I've talked to Christians if I ask how they're doing they never hardly bring that up because most of them are never walking in peace they're constantly trying to struggle to get somewhere they're trying to attain a certain spirituality or a certain level or something and we have to realize that I love what a loss Byrne said he said the Spirit of God in a human makes a Christian nothing else just the Spirit of God in a human and sometimes we forget that and we just think we think we have got the spirit but now I got to do this and I don't you know I got to pray in tongues this much I got to make you know acknowledgments I got to say this this many times and we have all these things that we have to do and the bad part is the you know they even tell us that a good soldier does not get entangled in the affairs of life and he keeps himself out of those entanglements so that he can please the one that called him into this warfare and yet I look around at Christians lives I don't know any but it's not entangled and in most of time it looks like they're trying to get more entangled and there's no freedom in that and so there's a couple of things that I do know that God wants me to ask you tonight and I'm even gonna if you have something to write on or you know something right with I'm gonna ask you to even write it down because something has to change right now in this in the world you all know this this is not a secret in the world I'm talk about not just America other countries and it's been going on since Adam fell in the garden there is a battle for the souls of men the enemy is trying to get it he's trying to steal people's souls God you know through Jesus is trying to win their souls back to him and yet there's this warfare going on now I've been a bunch of different countries seen a bunch of different things happening and we were talking just the other day and here in America there's been a major shift the atmosphere there and I really like saying the atmosphere but just the spirit of the people in America is different and and sometimes it's more noticeable if you leave the country you come back into it or sometimes you can just turn on the news and see it you know right now we've got and I guess I should ask you you know - how many of you have heard the DHD you've been through it listen to it okay the new man you heard the new man okay mine renewal they got in my room okay so you have an idea of the overall message that's essentially it because the DHT the new man and the mine renewal that covers the spirit the soul in the body for the most part now right now in other countries one country in particular that people here in America keep looking to sometimes to try to they want to emulate it for some reason they have recently passed a law that says that if you speak in tongues that you are mentally unstable and they can legally take your children from you he's recent yeah a person who is actually I've never met him but he learned from the DHT and started putting it into practice and now he's gotten pretty well known many of you probably know him Torben Sondergaard he's one of our I love children in the gospel I guess you would say and he now has left his country and they told him if you come back we're going to take your children and so now he is seeking asylum here in America because of religious persecution that's what's going on in the world that's going on all over the world Russia has locked down and a lot of the new laws that they passed made it impossible literally to witness there is a there is a not a spirit we know what spirit it is but there we there is definitely a new push in the spirit realm in an attack on Christians and even here in America you can see to change even even our history is being completely rewritten and trying to be done away with and you can't change the past you can only change the future and the bad part is is that if and I'm not going to get political in all this I'm just going to mention this and we're going to move right on in because it's part of it but I will tell you this certain things have happened to cause the enemy to be pushed back if this next election doesn't go the right way he's gonna come back in with a flood that's gonna be stronger and there's gonna be a persecution against Christians for the first time in America like we've never seen it's coming if the election doesn't hold it off and so there is a lot of stuff at stake right now and used to you know people can say whatever they want about the founding fathers and you know they were men they made mistakes like anybody else they went along with some of the standards of the day that kind of stuff not saying what they did was right but I'm also saying listen if you read what they wrote their hearts were for God and they wanted a nation where they could worship God and people could have the freedom to worship God the way they wanted to that's the basis of it now we're mistakes made of course but it's also as I heard somebody say the other day if America is so bad then why does America have the longest waiting list for people to move into it now saying we're perfect right but at the same time one of the things that we have to remember is that for years the church was respected and in the Bible and even here in America for there was a lot of respect but there was also even a degree of fear because people understood God was in the church and as you can see that respect before the church now is gone I firmly believe that in the next few years once the government realizes how much untaxed money there is in church they're gonna start repealing the 501c3 stuff and they're gonna start taxing churches when they do churches aren't going to pay it and it's going to close them down and then they'll get the properties and all that kind of stuff I could easily see that happening I wondered even as far back as about 1982 yeah that's whenever God first showed me what we now call life teams which are most people call them cell groups that kind of stuff but it's it there's a difference where we'll be talking about that this week because life teams are the essence of the next move of God there's no doubt about it it's how church is supposed to be done it's just that simple and if there's a persecution it's the only way Church will be able to be done and it God has been putting this thing together now in that for us to be the church that we're supposed to be then we have to be able to look at things accurately but we have to bottom line we have to be first partakers of what we're preaching we can't just preach something and even like myself and just you know make a living doing it and and yet not be as free as the Bible makes provision to be so before we go out into the world internet believe me I'm all for evangelism and witnessing a hundred percent so when I say before I don't really mean don't do it until this but all I'm saying is this if we're gonna go out on the streets and tell people there is freedom in Jesus they need to be able to see that freedom in us or else we're just going out and making more religious people and the bad part about religious people is they epitomize the emperor's new clothing fable because once you're in church oh you can't talk about this can't talk about that can't bring this up can't bring that problem up why because you'll get ostracized you'll get a cold shoulder because we don't talk about those things see that's why I left the group I was with when I first started to study in the Bible because if you got sick you couldn't tell anybody you were sick and and they weren't getting any buddy hield at least not many but you just couldn't mention that you were sick because then oh well you you you broke your confession you shouldn't say that what then how am I supposed to get help and so I ended up having to leave that group because they didn't want to change and we can't be the same kind of group that we know truth and yet don't walk in it and then we tell other people oh come join us and join in with the same bondage that we're in because that's not what the world wants it's not what they need it's not what Jesus died to give us so we have to find out where are we in our walk and I'm not talking about as a group even though we're all parts of one another and if one part hurts we all hurt and when one gets stronger we all get stronger so that's all true but at the same time we're only as strong as our weakest link so we have to be able to look at this in great where am I where am I at and so in that there's a couple of questions that I want to ask y'all tonight I have an idea of what the answer is going to be but I'm not gonna prejudice you with it but what I would like you to do and this is gonna kind of take the whole week we'll be talking about these things and and sharing on them but the first question is this and if you can write it write down the answers please do something don't just listen and go okay yeah this is what I would write down and actually write it down there's three things what are the three biggest problem areas in your life the three biggest and you know don't look at anybody else's paper okay do your own okay but what are the three biggest areas in other words if if you were to be able to fix those problem areas maybe they're consistently problem areas maybe they're not always there but it's a big enough problem that it's your focus but if you could fix these three things just three maybe there maybe you got a longer list maybe there's ten things but I'm just trying to if you understand the principle you'll be able to do this for the other seven things for yourself but what are the main three things that if you could fix them your life would be completely totally different and free freedom to do and be who God called you to be now think about those now in that when I've asked this question or a similar question to it before I've always gotten pretty close the same answer number one in number two are always the same the third one varies and it kind of noticed it varies according to the area or the country I'm in or the area of the country that I'm in now the top two problems is almost always and not in necessarily in this order but it's usually health meaning you're sick and you need healing and it usually has to do with physical and/or could be mental you know and when I say mental is just situations depression anxiety things like that I'm not and it could be anything else but then the second thing or the other thing a second thing is finances those are the two main things that most people struggle with consistently everywhere I go and it doesn't matter even if I have to speak to them in a translator you know through a translator it doesn't matter it's the same thing everywhere and one of the things I've noticed is that if number one health is your primary you know problem area then I can almost guarantee you the number two is finances because you can't get sick and not have financial problems not in the world today for the most part so usually the top two things is healing or health and finances now the third thing it varies I've heard well the the the most common probably is relationships you know estranged children husband and wife you know some but just relationships and and and having a good relationship and it's amazing how many people just don't have good relationships at all with anybody really you know it's how superficial most relationships are and if you say I got it who do you have a good relationship with oh it's my coworker why well they we sit in cubicles next to each other and we say hello good morning and goodbye that's your good relationship what only because they don't know you well enough that's why you got a good relationship with so but now here's the thing most of you the majority of you want to go raise your hand when I asked about the DHD so most of you have heard the DHD the divine healing technician training you've gone through it maybe really everybody that goes through it it works for them some take a little bit longer to kind of get it working sometimes there's bumps in the road but generally what we hear is this works and the testimonies we get is amazing and the the beauty of it is it doesn't matter who you are it doesn't matter if you're a pastor evangelist housewife whatever you want to call it nowadays I don't know what the politically correct thing to call them I know you're not married to the house so you're not a housewife I get that but but you know what I'm talking about so but if you if you put this into practice it works just because it's Bible it's just that simple and if you're putting it into practice then generally what we're hearing now it's been out long enough now to where a lot of the people in the beginning people would hear it they would go practice it they were sick and they'd still go lay hands on the sick and the people would get well and they're thanking God they got well why don't I get well and then we had to teach them how to get healed on you know for themselves and then they got many of them now it's been around long enough that people are getting to a point where even if the enemy does attack or if they get sick somehow then they're able to get it off of them pretty quick many even now are beginning to live in divine health to where they just don't get sick anymore and so this thing is it's growing stronger and stronger and now we're hearing people testimonies of people that are out ministering to other people and seeing results in it that are and they're living in divine health and they're telling these other people here's how you can live in divine health and you know step 1 get saved and that's part of the evangelism that a lot of people are doing so there's this there's this thing now the church is growing the body of Christ that's growing up so that now we don't always have to get healed and if you're sick and you need healing that's great we're here that's why we're here is to help right now the best thing is that you get it directly from Jesus yourself that's what we want I look forward to the day when I don't have to lay hands on anybody what because it means the body of Christ has grown up to the point where now they're walking in it and they're giving it away to other people that's the way it should be now until then we're here for one another to help one another and we're all growing we're all growing in different areas some people are growing in the area of healing other people growing the area of finances other people are growing in the area of maybe not judging you know there's all kinds of areas to grow in so as we grow more and more we're going to see bodies of Christians coming together that don't need healing you know just up the road a couple hours north of here up near Seattle in that area Adobe Canyon had a church up there for many years and there was over a 20-year Priven right of a 20-year period where they didn't bury anybody under 70 and he even some of his books were written because he was teaching that to his congregation and the children were being taught something different and the people in his congregation were getting wealth Fame well the as the children would grow up and come into the main congregation he had to teach them over again because they weren't taught the same thing so he sat down and wrote books and had his Sunday School teachers and learn it so they could teach it to the kids and then then it got to the point where they didn't even have to pray for the kids what because there was truth in it and so the body of Christ is supposed to be a light we are supposed to be the light of the world we're supposed to be shining out the light of Jesus the life of Jesus what Jesus said in John 10:10 that he came to give us life and that in abundance that's how we're supposed to be living that life in abundance and even the word he used though a it wasn't a common word used back then it's some people even say that Jesus invented the word and that's not technically true but he was the first one to use it in in open context like that because it literally before before he used it it meant the life of a god that's how the Greeks used it when Jesus used it he was saying life like God has his life and he said in this life I've come to give you I want you to have the same life in you that God has well what kind of life does God have well he has a life that is self-generating and john lake used to call it say that it was like a dynamo that it would generate life and life generates you know it was supposed to be almost like the first perpetual motion machine that it would just continue to make a life and as you as this zowie life in you would start to build stronger and stronger it would emanate from you and as it emanated from you people around you would get healed you didn't have to pray for him just because life was coming up because that's the kind of life God has and so this life he said I've come that you might have life and you might have it in abundance and then people have kind of turned that now to say oh he came to give us the abundant life well not actually I mean yes but don't make it say that why because as I've said before drug dealers have an abundant life they have cars they have houses they have jewelry there so that's an abundant life but they don't have life in abundance especially not Zoey life and that's what Jesus came to give us so we're to have this life and what is that life well the life is the Spirit of God dwelling in us and that Spirit of God in us gives us this life and then allows this life to emanate from us which means that it literally should be pushing out from us which means germs and sickness and disease like if if it got near us it should die before it gets to us so therefore if it dies before it gets to you that's divine health and so anywhere you win any honor fee it should be even to the point where if you touch something and then walk off some of that life should be left there there's examples of that even in John Lakes life Elena's in South Africa there was the post where he went to a village to get some rest and people heard he was there and so they started coming out of the woods and all the other villages and there was a lot of people coming into town and he knew he wouldn't get any rest so he went to the center of the village where they would tie the horses put his hand low post and told them anybody that touches this post after I leave is gonna get healed so he left life that life is to be contagious and yet we act like we have to apologize for it you know well I don't want to shove my religion down here please don't don't give me your religion give me life amen give me the Spirit of God that's what I want amen so and after he left it was reported over two weeks over about a two week period of time 70,000 people went in a line touched the post and got healed that's that's the kind of stuff that caused the revival in South Africa that there has literally never been another revival like it since then there's been a couple of them that came very close one in South America was very very close but that's the kind of events that took place as we've been talking about this new man I talk about the new creation we haven't even scratched the surface of this and it's amazing to me because somebody will listen to it and then somebody go Oh have you heard the new man oh you have heard that so I mean guess how many times I've heard it and I'm still learning every time I preach it it gets stronger every time I preach it new revelation comes out of it and I'm like man I want to stop make notes you know and people say oh I've heard that well how many times you're what I mean well I listened to it on CD I've heard it you know two or three times that's what Paul preached for 30 years that's all he preached he said you know my manner of life you know how I've lived among you you know and matter fact he even went on to say and I teach the same thing in every church I go to that's what Paul said Paul didn't have a different message in every different Church he had the same message in every Church and I remember one time I heard Kenneth Hagin say that God had freed him from the fear of repetition and I thought that's good I remember that and God freed me from the fear of repetition and it's good because many times you know you think what the people are coming again and you know and that's one of the big problems on Sunday morning if you're pastoring that's why most pastors not maybe not most but a lot of them you know on Saturday night they jump on the internet to find ideas for sermons or they go into their file and pull one out from last year and use the same sermon over again right but they have to dress it up there why because the people want to hear something different maybe sometimes we don't get to hear something different until we've done what the last one said right because this isn't supposed to see here's the problem we've gotten to the place where Christianity is simply agreeing with something and doesn't mean us changing our life to live it oh you want to get saved say this prayer Oh I said the prayer I'm saved I'm good now hope I see you in heaven go a little however you were before that's my salvation salvation means change and if you don't need to change why do you need to get saved so there has to be a change in the life now in this and what we're going to look at this week I believe is whether I kind of see things going here's the thing when you got born again and especially whenever you receive the infilling of the Spirit of God there was such a difference made in your spirit that your mind doesn't even comprehend it for the most part until you have your mind renewed by the Word of God to comprehend what you have in him and that's why all the in him in whom by whom all those curves want they're so important because that tells you what you have and many Christians just want to get saved and say okay I'm going to heaven when I die and I don't care if I live through hell on earth I'm going to heaven someday and Jesus didn't fix you just so you could go through hell on earth he fixed you so you could bring heaven to earth and be a conduit of heaven and that heavens atmosphere and life flow through you to people around you that don't know God so that you can introduce them to what it's like to be around God so in this as new creations we are a brand new creation old things are passed away all things have become new and all things are of God and they're right second Corinthians 5:17 eighteen all the way up to 21 so here we are where this new creation in in our spirit and we don't even know what we have in there we don't even know what it is and the and the the sad part is this when God moves into you that's what the new birth is is God moving into you and whenever you get born again you have access to everything God has and everything he is that means you have total access to Jehovah Rapha total access to Jehovah Jireh total access to Jehovah Shalom tovo total access to Jehovah sidqa new I mean every evening and and one thing that many have - I haven't figured out you have access to jehova shamma the God who is present and we keep thinking and we got to call him down or you know even Roman has talked about he know call him who's gonna call him down you're gonna call him up or what now they say you don't have to do that speak the word the words and I you it's in your heart in your mouth to speak the word he's present and so when you look at that you realize what took place in you as he moved into you and this the light that's in you we haven't even scratched the surface of it because and you say how do you know that because I haven't seen anybody walking like Jesus 24/7 yet I see people hit it at times I see people kind of move into it but they don't stay there and it's usually because they get pulled back out because they get distracted mark chapter 4 the cares of this world or they end up getting entangled and everything in this world is geared to get you entangled and yet we fall for it and then why because well we don't want people to think we're falling behind the Joneses we got to keep up with them and when you're keeping up with anybody you're entangled it's that simple you know and I hate to say it this way and I hate to quote this person because you know she she died in a pool of her own vomit but she came from where I was raised a good portion of my life which is called Port Arthur Texas and her name was Janice Joplin and she said freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose well that's a sad way of looking at it but there is truth to it because when you think about it what you really need and say most of our life is spent trying to get stuff to prove we've been here we've accomplished something we've we ended with more than we started with and you know if I don't have to end with very much to him with more than what I started with and I've learned the life that I desire to live actually where it requires to not have much because you can't take it with you and I'm not talking about dying I'm just talking about I'm not gonna pack it up and carry it but we we get so wrapped up in this stuff now I understand God wants you to to prosper he wants you to be blessed and and this is really the essence of it because I'm and we're gonna try to show you and I even hate to use this word balance because usually balance is another word for compromise and actually the word balance if you look at how its practiced it actually means to be mediocre because balance is halfway it's it's you know half-full half-empty that's balance technically and if you look up the word mediocre it literally means to go halfway up the mountain not to be totally committed but just go halfway and so balance really means to be mediocre but that's not what God called us for because they well brother now you gotta be balanced and what they mean is compromise don't be more extreme than I am cuz you'll make me look bad that's usually what that means right and the reality is is that you know people try to tell you to calm down and honestly I've heard people say before I'd rather burn out than rust out you know but these are the questions I want asking because I was there's a couple of things I've learned over the last 20 years of full time preaching and part of that is this in the three areas that you wrote down if one of those is finances and that we were actually talking about this today at lunch no is there at lunch or on the phone I can't remember but you don't carry the way but I was talking somebody about it I do remember that but okay yeah there was on the phone - that's right okay but it really comes down to if you're going to if you ask a person that's it this way if I was to tell you anybody in this room listen man I'm going to Africa let's say it's 30 days off so you can get a good ticket you know not outrageous or whatever I'm going to Africa I would like you to go with me and I picked one person now everybody in this room you're the one I pick you get that I'm picking one person but each one of you is that one person so I'm talking to you don't don't think I'm talking to somebody next to you and don't think well I wish so until was here because he really needed to hear this no that's no one's ever this is for you okay I'm going to Africa and I want you to go with me so get your ticket I'll meet you in Johannesburg okay and if you said oh man I'd love to go you know what you know what words coming next but and they're right man I would love to go but okay but what what well I can't go what why can't you go what I got a job okay well so what you know well I bet I can't just take off I mean I'd get fired okay so what what's your point what I can't just get fired one well because I depend on the paycheck I mean I've got impact I got a mortgage I got I got bills I got I got a support okay so really the but is not the job it's the fact that you don't know how to trust God that's what it comes down to because you limit God to meeting your needs to your paycheck you think God can only meet your needs to your paycheck so really as Joe it's his job Jarrah not your hobo jack okay does this make sense am i hitting anywhere close to home because here's the thing see your idea okay how much God can do for you and through you you know we'd like to say oh man in the spirit man I can do all things through Christ and they're right you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you we're in the spirit right not not in the soul technically right because that's a spiritual fact right it's a spiritual truth but it's not part of your soul so what you can do through the spirit and here's the bad part God because I asked me was that walking God Oh God can do anything all right then what can he do through you oh I don't know well don't you lay hands on that sick person oh well I don't know about that so so God can do it they just can't do it through you so you're the hindrance is that right I mean bottom line we hinder God because if God can do anything but he has to use us to do it and if he can't do it it's because we're stopping it that makes sense now if you're gonna stop him you don't stop him in your spirit because your spirit believes everything your spirit is right in tune with his spirit right because everything in you now in your spirit because that's why I got born again your soul didn't get born again your your body didn't get born again your spirit got born again right so in your spirit all things become new old things are passed away all things become new and all things are of God in your spirit but in your soul so it's your soul that is the nozzle of the hose if one said that let's God out so it's your soul that hinders him now the reason your soul hinders him is because your mind has not yet been renewed to the Word of God because the Spirit of God in the Word of God are one and they agree with one another is that right so your spirit and the word agree but your soul is what hinders so the real key is getting your mind renewed now so what that and this is one of the things that God I'm believing I don't like to throw that around loosely and saying well God told me or I don't I don't like doing that but I do believe that's fresh in this case that God has pointed out the fact that the next major breakthrough in the church is not going to be in the spirit it's gonna be in the soul what because your spirit doesn't need a breakthrough your spirit broke through the next breakthrough has to be in your soul but that only happens through your mind being renewed to the Word of God so we decide how quick God can move we decide how strong the next move of God is and we decide when the next move of God is based on how fast we renew our mind bottom line that's why it works and if you're spending your time watching you know American Idiot or you know whatever do any of these other stupid things that's geared to entangle you Hollywood is not this and Hollywood does not exist to cause you to have a greater relationship with God Hollywood exists to get between you and your relationship with God right and so whenever if you're spending time doing things that don't help renew your mind or actually help unruhe new your mind then you're actually slowing down the process of the next move of God so in many ways many people are just like the children of Israel that caused them to have to walk around the desert another 40 years and the younger generation was waiting for the older generation to die so they could finally move into the Promised Land well I don't know about you but I don't want to be the person people are waiting to die yeah I wish you'd hurry up and do it and get out of the way that's not who I want to be I want to be right there you know I wanna be right there with Joshua and Caleb going hey let's do this let's let's take this mountain we can do it but that means that it takes and here's here's a real key it takes discipline and consistency which are kind of similar but there are differences but you've got to have discipline in your life and everything in the world right now is geared to lessen your discipline and and how they tell you there's even a commercial on even right now about the it's from Vegas go figure about the Venetian hotel if you've seen or not but the saw it's weird but it's the song is basically saying I want it all I want the world I want this and it shows all this weird stuff going on but it's basically saying and and the the key word to it is you deserve it you deserve everything and that's the problem in America right now everybody thinks they deserve everything nobody thinks oh I have to work for it and the bad part is if you're given everything for free you won't even appreciate it and you won't keep it long right it's the things you work for hey listen you don't work for the things of God but you work at making yourself a workman worthy of God and he tells us walk worthy of the Lord see that means there's a process everybody act like well it's grace it's all by grace no you got in by grace grace got you in that what are you gonna do with it you're not gonna sit on the couch and eat popcorn and sit there and you know watch some kind of divine television show that's not the point the whole point is you got it and he said okay here's my name here's my word here's my spirit here's my power here's here's my gifts here's everything now how bad do you want it what do you want to do show me I'm giving you everything show me what you want show me how much you appreciate the salvation I've given you and what do we say oh it's all about grace I don't have to do anything no you don't and you don't have to be a vessel unto honor we don't have to be but he said if you purge yourself then you'll be a vessel unto honor so there is something for you to do and everybody acts like no Jesus did it all he did he did it all to get you in yeah but now that you're in what are you going to do are you going to be a vessel unto honour or unto dishonour and he said you choose you purge yourself and if you purge yourself then you'll be a vessel unto honor now all of this goes back and I do want to cover some scriptures but I do want to get you out here at a decent hour tonight and I know this is kind of our introduction so you know hopefully you'll come back tomorrow but here's here's one of the main problem to give you a couple of scriptures the first actually the first we want to go to you can turn to Deuteronomy I know it's an Old Testament scripture believe it or not still applies okay now here's the problem if you okay what we did with the DHT is that we went into the Word of God and proved from the Word of God in in in just clear scripture to prove to any person that will read it listen to whatever that it is God's will to heal the healing has already been paid for provided for it's yours now right and we have proven that it is always God's will to heal even even if you're in sin that God will heal you even if you're in sin he will heal you what because the goodness of God will draw you to repentance everybody jesus healed was a sinner they weren't even born again and the Bible says that those are not that are not born again they're not just sinners they are sin just like we are not made righteous we are the righteousness of God in Christ you get that so now we are righteous Ness you could say that but before we were sin do that and Jesus was made sin so that we could be made the righteousness in other words he became what we were so that we could become as he is bottom line amen yeah the good news of the gospel real short okay now the problem is this and like I said we have proven that God will heal anybody anywhere anytime if a believer exercises his kingdom rights okay the kingdom authority exactly now in doing that you know there's things that you learn and you don't know you're learning them but you find out later for instance if you're in the military the first thing you do when you get up in the morning is make your bed I mean you do that quick make the bed get it done right you know you get dress on cousin but you make your bed and what that make in that bed does is it gives you an instant gratification of accomplishment and it also teaches you discipline to do something right every day and to do even no matter how minut it is it's giving you discipline to do the same thing every day that's one thing most Christians don't have they have to have something new every day they can't do the same thing every day I have done the exactly the same thing every day for about the last 30 years 20 years in for time ministry 10 years before that I was already doing this but I was still proving it out but I'm tenured now and people they would say well you know what about what is your life like and yes to a degree my life is exciting I've gone all over the world I've seen God do amazing things I've seen him change people's bodies I could give testimonies that many of the people in this room were there when they happen when we were in Poland that's one of the two main things happen in Poland I think back when we might have on video that we can show it to you at some point but one of them was a man that he was out in the in a van outside the door and they came in total said you need to go pray for this man because he's gonna die any second and if you you got to pray for him and then we're gonna take her in the hospital because he's gonna die and I said it was before I was about to preach I said okay so we went out and the police the building next door the police had surrounded it and we're doing a raid and they had all the police cars parked right next to the van where this man was laid in the back of this van had they had the door open he's lying there dying the police walking by a full SWAT gear I mean it looked it was really surreal when you're there and so they walked me out and I climb in the back of this van put my hand on this man's chest they actually pull the blanket down and he had no shirt on and so and the way he's breathing you can tell when people are about to die about how they breathe a lot of times and I literally there was a thought in my mind this man's going to die while I'm praying for him that was a thought that passed my mind so I went after that thing and knowing Jesus name you're gonna live and not die and we blasted that thing we were there 30 seconds the police are in the van next looking over at us in the van you know and I'm putting my hands on a guy and and then and they made a raid on this big apartment complex thing and brought out a bunch of drug dealers and they had guns piled up out and outside I mean it's very surreal okay and so I go back in we preached all day that night we have the healing service amazing healings took place visible things you could see and then at the end somebody came and got me and said just this matter where he wants to have his picture taken with you I said okay so I went over to and I didn't recognize him and they said this is the man in the van he was up dressed beaming color back his family was all hugging and crying and all this stuff and I'm like you do not look like the man in that van I mean that's the stuff I get to see amen and this is just quick examples off top of my head remembering different things so I'm blessed that I get to go all over the world and see this stuff you know and get to watch what God does and because of that you know bottom line when I'm trying to get at is this we have spent the last 25 years roughly 20 years full-time of convincing people of God's willingness to heal no matter what no matter what doesn't matter who they are what they are what they've done when they did it if it was five minutes ago it doesn't matter Jesus will heal if I believe if you believe he'll heal somebody else amen they don't have to believe what because the dead aren't believing anything and if we can raise the dead then we can surely heal the living amen come on let's just be simple right so in the process like I said now one of the things that you learn like in the military when you're making your bed every day you're thinking man I'm making a bed I'm making a bet you're making a bed but you're also learning the discipline of doing the same thing and because I've done the same thing yes it can be exciting but many times it's not many times it's the same stuff every day many times if people look that they said well can I come to Dallas and just hang out with you you can you're probably gonna be bored what because the man in the van doesn't happen every day there now I pray for you on the phone they get healed that happens but I don't get to see it because there's somewhere else but I still have to believe just like if they were right there in front of me so in the process that now in the process of us teaching that God will heal and does he'll and will heal ain't of anybody anytime anywhere in that process really what's supposed to happen is you're supposed to find out that God will heal that heal anybody anytime anywhere of anything and you get the faith to be or to go yes God will heal this person why because I know he's done this noise done that I've heard this story I've done this before myself so I know God will do this so you are they able to transfer the faith from those past victories into this new problem and when you do that person gets healed whenever you can do that when you can believe it now in the process of you learning that God is faithful and that he always wants the people to live and he wants them healed in that process see what you're learning is you're learning the full extent of Jehovah Rapha now you ought to be able to take that same principle of absolute healing total victory doesn't matter nothing matters other than do you believe right you are able to take that principle and apply that over to the area of provision in your life because if you can say look if I get sick I know God's going to heal me then you move you progress and go you know what I'm not gonna get sick what because his life is in me repelling sickness now see you've just made a progression John Lake called that the progression in Christian consciousness that's what he called it when you grow and you realize and your your vision of God gets bigger and God gets bigger in you because you realize he's bigger than you've let him be before that's when he starts doing things that are you know exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think it's amazing to me I don't care what I teach I could come in here and teach on anything and if I said okay are there any questions 90% of the questions are gonna be how do I pray for this sickness what do I have to do for this how do I pray for that it's all gonna be about healing I could be teaching you know algebra well I couldn't but anyway somebody could but but it doesn't matter what I'm teaching the questions are gonna be on healing that's just the way it is right and I don't mind that but it's funny because I'm trying to get you to the place where you can say you know what just like David God was with me with the lion he was with me with the bear he's gonna be with me with this uncircumcised philistine so I whip them too and I'm gonna whip this one also right and when you get that when you can say you know what man God was with me with that migraine matter of fact you know he was even with me with the cancer guess what he's gonna be with me with this mortgage did you see how you just we jumped from here and we're but if we can trust him to be Jehovah Rapha and we have to realize that that's his name that's mean that's what his character is and his name is also Jehovah Jireh so if we can truly trust him to be Jehovah Rapha we ought to be able to trust him to be Jehovah Jireh is that right now this is not going to be a financial seminar please understand I did not come here to teaching it but but in understanding God in walking with him we can't avoid that area because if we do we're not letting him be Jehovah Jireh and that's the beauty of it see now I'm not going to say I'm going to come here and try to tell you how to save money and pile it up that's not the point the point the truly wealthy person is not the person that has the most money piled up the wealthy person is the person who knows God well enough to say whatever I need I will have when I need it that's wealth amen that's God's kind of wealth and that's whenever you understand okay what's the difference between me saying that and me saying you know what it doesn't matter I don't care who I lay hands on I don't care if they're contagious I don't care what they've got it doesn't matter whatever I need to give them whenever I get to them I will have one because Jehovah Jireh is gonna provide whatever I need so that he can be Jehovah Rapha do you see all the wheat we separate these things we have to realize God has drover Rafa because he's Jehovah Jireh he provided healing provided healing the provider so that we can walk in divine health Amen now if we okay please something almost just came out of a mouth I'm gonna say it anyway I caught it but I'm also gonna say it okay because it's gonna it's gonna label me and some people are going get upset but I gotta tell you the whole truth I can't hold back if I believe in divine health because I believe in Jehovah Rapha I gotta believe in divine wealth because of Jehovah Jireh does that make sense now listen he says you have not because you ask not then he said but if you ask and still have not it's because what you seek to have it so you can consume it upon your own lust there's the problem see most if I come in here said prosperity people who's gonna say oh that's ok I know where he's going ok and frosted success oh oh I see I see what kind of preacher is no one because your definition of prosperity and success may very likely be different than mine what because I actually look the words up and I know what they actually mean right and the best definition of prosperity one definition of course is abundance and Jesus came to have us to give us life and abundance so you can't be broke and have life in abundance now you can have a divine life and if you starve to death because you're broke you'll still go to heaven ok but that's not life in abundance that makes sense now the reason I'm telling this is because if as long I keep hearing Christians make excuses for not doing the Word of God or expanding the kingdom because they don't know how to trust God for their finances yeah and and I know I don't know what the budget here is and I don't know what you're doing about that about the offering I could care less and that's one of the things on a way a problem I'm like I'm just worshiping God sitting on a plane and I'm just worshiping God what because God has now proved himself to me that if I I don't even I don't care about the offer I don't care what cuz he's gonna take care of me no matter what I do alright as long as I'm doing what he tells me to do he's gonna take care of me a minute and even if I don't do it even if I mess up guess what he's still gonna take care of me I don't have to do it perfectly to get him to take care of me all I got to do is perfectly believe him right and trust him so and that frees me say I don't have to say well how big a meeting is it going to be well because you know we have a budget that's the first thing people ask me well how much does it take to get you to come to our country or get you to come to our church invite me that's pretty much it right because I'm not dependent on what you can provide for me okay now okay if I hadn't made you mad so far okay give me one more chance okay I made this statement the other day and if you don't know my heart then you might take this wrong but then people ask me and say what do I know what does it cost to get you to come to our church I'm like you can't afford me what because you can't paint listen carefully you can't pay me what I'm worth if God is in me why because if I come to your church I'm gonna lay hands on the sick people run get healed cancer is gonna die it's gonna leave their body what's that worth you can't pay me for that Jesus already paid for us well we don't do offerings during the healing services what because you can't pay for that you can't listen if we received offerings at the healing service where you are paying for your healing you wouldn't be able to afford it like coz what's it worth it's worth everything in there right so when I say you can't afford me I'm not talking about me I'm talking about what what God working through me can accomplish you can't afford that that make sense to you yeah but the key is is that God wants to do the same thing through you he wants to the exact same thing through you that he's done to me and even greater did you know I'm by no means the epitome of what God can do all I've done is ventured into some areas where maybe some people hadn't gone before but now we've cleared the path and said hey it's good come on in and keep on going amen so the whole point all I'm trying to say is I want you to expand maybe somehow for me to be able to help you realize that if you use money as an excuse of why you can't do something then money is your God because it's dictating your life and that was one of the greatest freedoms I ever gotten was when I realized I can trust God no I will tell you we don't have a lot of money stacked up we what comes in kind of goes out and it goes back in but at the same time I've noticed I get to do more and and want because I'm trusting God more and he meets my needs and now I've learned to make other people's needs my needs and because I can trust him to meet my needs and if I can make their needs my needs then as he meets my needs he has to meet their needs because they're anita's my needs that make sense and I know it sounds like a trick but God's all for it he's like yeah that's good that'll work let's do that right now here's something and I shared this recently I was in a place I got to take a few days off and somebody offered me a house to go stay in for the week it was amazing it was wonderful and I just kept him sit there alone and just talk with God and you know sometimes you need to talk to yourself and then there's other times you need to talk to God and I did both during that time and then every evening at 6 o'clock there was a man there that was he was one that actually picked me up at the airport took me to the house and he was picked up at 6 o'clock and we would go eat and we would talk I've never met him before we'd talk for about two hours while we were eating and then I'd go back to the to the house and stay there and his mother was Jewish and his dad was Christian and so he was raised with strong Jewish understanding he courted the Bible like very few people I've ever met especially book of proverbs which was really good talking with him and so we were talking with these things and in this I made a statement no I probably tell you some of the stuff some of the things I learned from him this week I'm sure some of those things will come out because they're really good and it's all just problem it's basically but I made a statement talking to him and I said and I can show you I already told you go to Deuteronomy 28 obviously we're not going to get there tonight sorry about that but in Matthew 6:33 okay it says seek ye first to get him God to his righteousness all these things will be added to you all these things you give that God is not against you having things he said if you do this these things will be added he said just don't seek the things seek his kingdom his righteous and these things will be added to you he said don't be like the Gentiles meaning don't be like people who don't have a God he said your you have a Heavenly Father who knows what you have need of right and then another says he said and he said he knows what you have need of and then he tells us in Philippians 4:19 he says but my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus right so now how does he meet and supply your needs through Jesus not through your job you got that not through your job through Jesus now he may have your job bringing it to you but how many of you know your job could be gone tomorrow but but God will still take care of you right now Philippians 4:19 and this is what I was sharing with this man I said in because I made a statement I said yeah I hadn't prayed for anything for myself and many years now several years any my own needs he said he actually pulled the car over of his truck for the risk of wait what do you mean you haven't prayed for your own needs of God don't pray for myself I don't I've no need to pray for myself he said well what do you mean he said how do you how do you get your needs met that's why I don't have to worry about that I said he said he shall supply all my needs according to his riches and glory through Christ Jesus so why would I ask him for my needs when he's already said he's gonna supply so I don't spend my time asking for him to meet my needs he's already guaranteed me that say he's a father my children have never had to worry or ask me if I was going to feed them why because they're my children I'm going to feed them and they're right they never had to worry about that they never even thought about it all they say is hey when are we gonna eat or what are we gonna eat or something like that there was no question of are we going to eat what because they trusted me they didn't even think not to trust me they didn't think can I trust him Canada they didn't even think that and I had to learn to think the same way toward God to where I don't even think about the possibility of my needs not being met because he's already said he shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus so that's a given so I don't even have to pray about that and I haven't prayed about it and he's met all my needs now so that frees me to do mark 11:24 mainly 23 in 24 right which is what but when you pray okay here's what he said he said whatsoever things you need what does he say what is he sayin mark 11:23 24 whatsoever things you desire not need he said whatsoever things you desire when you pray so what do you pray for things you desire not things you need if you pray for things you need you don't see him as a father you see him as a God Jesus didn't come to show us God the Jews knew God they just didn't know father you get it and he said don't be like them that pursue things your heavenly Father knows what thing what things you have need of right and then he said and he shall supply all your needs so he said don't be like them and then he even said and don't be like them and and doing vain repetition but yet that's what most people do and they take the Lord's Prayer what's called the Lord's Prayer it's really the disciples prayer but it was taught by the Lord so they take that and then they think I'm gonna say this I'm gonna say this give us our you know give us today our daily bread give us today our daily bread get it well that's that's a vain repetition if you're not trusting God you get it now understand they prayed that but they were in under a different covenant and they didn't yet have him his father they had him as God you get it because they were born again yet so to them he was still God not father but to you he's not God he's father who happens to be a God right so if he's father that means whatever he can do he will do and as God he can do anything that makes sense so I started I explained this to this man and he's he said I've never heard anything like that he said you're telling me I don't have to pray for my knees I'm like no he's already promised to meet your needs I said that set you free to pray for your desires now I said now if you set your heart on him he will give you the desires of your heart right now what that means is twofold number one he's gonna put the desire in your heart that he wants you to have right and then whenever you pray for those desires he's gonna meet those desires right but first you got to make sure that the desire in your heart is his desire for you why he said how do you know that because he said that if you asked he said that if we asked we know that if we ask according to his will we know that we have the petition that we've asked him and they're right so the real key is knowing that what we're asking is according to his will so before you just go talking maker first it's according to his will and what support in his will you know now let me ask you this say for instance and I'm trying to hurry here but is it God's will that you have to spend time a lot of your valuable time because time is the most valuable thing you got it's the only thing that can't be replaced is it God's will that you spend most of your time trying to figure out how you're gonna make ends meet or would you would it be more valuable to God if you could trust him to meet whatever needs you have and then have in you have desires for planting Bible schools building churches funding missionaries right see the battles real clear he says let him that stole steal no more but rather let him work with his hands so that he has that which to give to those who have need the only mention in the New Testament of us working with our hands for a reason is so that we can have something to give somebody not so that we can have something ourselves now imagine imagine if you could trust God to meet all your needs and you actually work the job just so you can get a paycheck just so you could give it away that's the biblical economics technically now the only thing better than that is you've been able to trust God to the point where you didn't even have to work for it but you went into proverbs and found out how to make your money work for itself and work for you instead of you working for your money that makes sense and again this is not gonna be a financial seminar please understand them I know it kind of sounds that way what I'm trying to do is get you to realize money is a terrible God it's a good tool and God doesn't care how much you got he just wants to make sure that it doesn't have your heart because and I started to realize then the other day right now I can I could well what I would do is I would call my daughter and say give me a plane ticket to South Africa and she could do it I've got the money to do it I can get a plane ticket I go to South Africa I could say get a ticket for next week to South Korea I could go to South Korea I could I could do that what because what does that mean that means I'm free to go anywhere God wants me any time and I don't have to go online and beg somebody to come up with it I mean what because I trust God and I don't trust people baba says to put no trust in a brother that's what it actually says so I don't put my trust in people I put my trust in God and the thing is it doesn't work for me because I'm a preacher it works me because I trust God and you can trust God the same way God can meet your needs and this promise too far above how you what whatever job you have right let me put it this way if you really trust God in this area you're gonna get audited because you're gonna live above your means because God's gonna bring you finances for you so you can live and they're gonna go where are you getting this money from and you go I don't know it just shows up yeah I don't know it's it come I don't it and they're gonna stand and scratch their head and investigate you all right because they don't understand that but true freedom means you can do whatever God tells you to do anytime now you need true freedom in health what because there's places Union you can go in this world that you can't get medicine and if you have to have medicine because of your condition you're not free because that means you couldn't go to those places and we're told to go into all the world so God must want you free healed whole well you don't need the medicine and they're right and if God can do that with the sickness or disease he can do that with finances amen and please understand I again I'm not gonna be talked about this all week but this really helped this man he made comment about it he said you need to share that with people he said it cuz I've never heard anything like that to where God meets your needs and all you pray for is your desires and your desires are the things that God has put in your heart to accomplish for him so what that means is this there are people in this room right now I can tell you there's and I know there's two ways I can go here but something trying to again hurry to get to this point many of you if I ask you to raise hands I may do that I don't know I haven't decided yet but there's many of you in this room that even years ago you had dreams you had stuff that you believed even that God had put in your heart and then you maybe started doubting it because you didn't see it come to pass well maybe to God didn't give me that drink or whatever it is but you've you've settled for a job many of you settle for a job you don't even like you know you wake up in the morning you're dreading and you wonder why you feel depressed and you think oh it's this singer that I know and it's because you're not doing what God wants you to do maybe God wants you to you know start a business or something believe me if you start a business you're not gonna work less you're gonna work more at least in the beginning just the way it is this is make sense to you but imagine if you could because right now I can leave my office and I don't have to worry about it I got a good team they're good staff that I could take off and I know they're gonna handle it I know it's you know it's not gonna fall apart while I'm gone but I can go and do what God wants me to do but I couldn't do that if I didn't know how to trust him and it's the same thing there's many of you that have dreams in your heart that you have just pushed down because you've got yet to settle for making a living instead of actually living a life and you ought to be owning a business instead of working at one you ought to have people working for you instead of you working for somebody else why because God put that in your heart now maybe you say well God put me in this job and once when he bit Elijah that's wonderful that's great if that's you that's great all I'm saying is that are you freaked because he says whom the Sun sets free is free indeed how free are Christians most Christians are not free and the bad part is they can't do the things that God has called them and every time you ask them why not they say well I can't do it because of this and it's almost always sickness or lack of funds and then you go on TV and you watch these people beg for all these you know all this money and stuff and it's like well that's how they're doing it they're big and they're they're begging on this too but if you know anything about us we we don't beg we've never seen anything else and please give or please do this we don't do that what we we trust God and we've proven this and the amazing thing is see I first got a glimpse of this from a man in South Africa a man named Kobus and I was amazed not always at his doctrine stuff because we didn't agree on everything but I was amazed at his heart and how generous than one that I saw him with people but secondly how at ease he was you remember that he would just you know is he just kickbacks I think sometimes just fall asleep right there in the church when he's fixing to preach he was so relaxed and just he just yeah whatever and he'd be putting the microphone on me when I was gonna preach is it it it's your house it's your church I tried your church had me Liberty now and he just an innings tall and thin and you know he'd be spread out over like four chairs but just amazingly relaxing and he was running a big church and a big ministry had their own satellite television network I mean there's a lot of pressure that comes with that stuff and you never saw it on him I never saw it on him he was always just right yeah yeah everybody else is running around as we would say would like a chicken with her head cut off of it but they're not Kobus he was just yeah that's all right and I'll never forget the first time I was there and I was six and a preach and he was saying they were during the offering they would come up and bring up the offering money up at the front and throw it on the floor and then they'd rake it up and put it in a box and I'm watching I'm thinking wow that's different and and and this guy walks up with a watch in his hand and he's a prophet cover so the Lord told me to give this to you and he said bless your brother he took it he looked he goes he had it hanging on his finger and he goes here you can have it I've got five it was a Rolex and he goes here you go and it's just so he just that way he just here you go I got five of these already you can have it I'm like that's a Rolex yes and God told me ever seen it but and then I heard how many cars he'd given away how many vans two ministries just amazing stuff and I looked at it I said god I want to be like that I want to be like that and there was such a freedom and and I'm telling you so God wants you free I'm not Millicent here's here's the last question last question one ask you if one of your three problem areas was finances that if you could solve that it would totally radically change your life now here's the next question if you were financially set that doesn't mean you've got all you got it means you knew it was gonna come in you know you could trust God you know okay if you were financially set so that you did not have to go to work tomorrow or ever again what would you do tomorrow see that shows where your heart is okay I'm gonna go out and fish all day I'm just gonna fish okay no okay so you're thinking retirement let me tell you people that retire don't usually live long why because they don't have a reason for living my grandfather he was a Choctaw Indian he worked at a funeral home all the time I was growing up he was born in the year 1900 he remembered when Geronimo was captured and he remembered when the the moon landing happened he said I'm like man so much happened between those two things he saw and he died shortly after the moon landing in 69 and he was 69 years old when he died now he worked hard all his life he was out there digging graves by hand right and it's at 68 he was out there digging graves and the son of the owner took over the funeral home and came to him and said you got to go get a chicken we're starting a new thing go get a check-up they weren't got to check him doctor said oh you got a bad heart he's been after digging graves he says you got a you could drop dead any minute you we got to retire you so they retired him six months he was dead he'd been the man was strong but he had no because that generation felt their value was in what they could produce and if he could not produce anything he had no value no reason to live he does and and so the reason I'm telling this is because this what you would do that next day that you don't have to go to work that shows your heart whether you're thinking retirement or freedom because if you're thinking retirement you probably won't last long but if you're thinking freedom now you you're free to travel you're free to do this you're free to do that you're free to do whatever God wants to do now you're free to actually live life so really that comes down to what would you do tomorrow if you didn't have to go to work and yet your financing we're taking care of because that shows your heart what would you do is well I would just I wouldn't do anything within your selfish no no I'm free to travel and preach well I'm not a preacher well guess what you're starting a new career whatever it is right it could be you don't have to stand behind a pulpit to do it there's all kinds of things you could do does this make sense to you but at some point the church has to wake up and realize this is about Kingdom you know there's a guy I've heard about recently named Pedro a Down Yonder whom time I am I know I'm dogma he does the it's called 100x it's a kingdom entrepreneur thing and so somebody talking about him told me check it out I really like what he says he said my purpose is not to get rich my purpose is to become a kingdom entrepreneur philanthropist he said I want to be able to go and see a struggling church and I want to pay for their building I wanted able to go in I won't tell the pastor I wouldn't pay your salary for a year though you don't have to worry about it you don't have to have that second job or third job you can actually focus on meeting the needs of the people that you oversee and so I'm listening and but if there's a freedom there and the owners I'm talking about it because so many people are not free in this area and they're worried and and when you're worried now you get depressed and all kinds of things start going wrong in your body and then you want to come up and get pray for it oh the devil is doing this now the devil didn't do that to you you did that to you what because you worry and you said take no anxious thought about these things and yet you do so there has to come a point where we actually believe God and say you know what you can take now again in the beginning or however it is I'm not talking about greed I'm talking about a life worth living amen I'm not talking about oh let's talk about how we can get rich and do never mind about that I'm talking listen to me let me tell you I'm rich now because I know whatever I ever need God will provide and and what that also means is I can give without fear of not having right because I remember when God told me I said God if I'd do that all the way home yeah he told me to give to some people on the side of the street as if I do that our way home I'll be broke for it before I get home because there's people on every corner he said I filled your pockets the first time I can fill it again I'm like well thank you for taking away my excuse and then I tried to use the other one you know well God this is your money and I want to make sure it's handled right cuz it if he said if it's my money why are you hanging on to it so tight you know yeah I'm like you just got an answer for everything don't you all I'm saying is that if you believe that God is so good that he will heal anybody anytime anywhere no matter what as Jehovah Rapha just use the same principle for Joe vijana and believe that he'll meet your needs anytime anywhere for anything and and maybe you need bigger needs you know and I can't a if you need some more needs look out on the street corners on the way out of here you'll see a lot of needs and let me tell you that's the church's responsibility not the government's and we have to realize that what because whoever feeds them wins them and that's who they come to and the church needs to be winning people not the government the church does not need to be a referral agency for the US government god bless the US government you know we need righteous men and women in their ruling because whenever the righteous are in rule the people live in peace so we need to vote correctly amen we need to vote correctly but to do that the church has to take responsibility and in the beginning that means it might actually cost you something to a degree right what did David say I will not give God that which cost me nothing we have to decide do you want to do it or do you not want to do it because you're sowing and reaping you determine what you read about what you sow if you sow bountifully you'll reap bountifully if somebody says I don't understand you know I'm just broke and I you know I thought God was gonna bless me the problem is in your sewing pretty simple problems in your sewing it's either in your sewing or in your believing one of the two bottom line and honestly if the problems in your sewing it's because the problems in your believing because people that don't believe don't sew just that simple so all this comes back to this trust God 100% trust him for your body trust him for every need you have he's your father he knows what you have need even before you ask and he's already made the provision and they're right it's already done and that's the real key now in that if you get this in this message tonight you know some of your going to come out or go well you know it's about finances no no it's about trusting God in any area and if you hear that trusting gut maybe you came in sick but if you can switch on trusting God you can walk out of here well with nobody touching you amen did it did I make you very mad yet and we wouldn't quit anyway does this make sense to you because this week what I really I know I know in my spirit we're really gonna move into walking in the spirit what it means to live in the spirit but you can't walk in the spirit without recognizing that we're in this physical world why because the world is geared to pull you out of the spirit into the natural everything all those entanglements the cares of this world at stuff and so he wants you to be free he doesn't he doesn't want you to ignore the need that you have he wants you to be free so that the enemy does not have that to pull on you with did you get that so you can be free I don't care who you are I don't usually you don't understand I'm retired I want a fixed income well then unfix it take the limits off of God don't just decide that's all he can do he can do more than that amen now he I'm not saying he's gonna start dumping money on he may give you an idea he may give you an idea that is gonna turn things around and that's where your finances come through but it's still God amen I mean come on look at Colonel Sanders you know started a whole new career after what 68 I think is when he sold his first franchise or something like that that's amazing he didn't go when I'm 68 I'm too old to get anything started no no he's still living right you're never too old you're never too young you know Jesus was 33 when he died that means that he was 33 when he accomplished his mission think about that you go back through all the history the United States some of that what just the history of the church what Charles Parham that pretty much started the Pentecostal movement was 27 26 I think it was whenever he birthed the Pentecostal movement try Mary exactly yeah he's like 24 26 look what he did just because he decided to believe the Word of God he launched the entire Pentecostal movement around the world 26 years old well he's too young to know anything no revelation from God has no age attached to it you know and and age is just a number I'm finding that out I turned 16 this year age is just a number I can tell you right now I feel better physically now than I did a year ago right and and it was and within about the next six months or so maybe even year at the most I'll be in better shape than I was in my twenties you watch one because I'm doing two things I'm attacking it from two ends the physical and the spiritual amen so now the only thing I'm not changing is you know now I'm still drinking some cooks I'm still drinking the codes but I have cut way back but I'm not eating vegetables that's dumb you sucking dick now I will drink them I will blend them and drink them but I will not eat them I don't know what because I decided okay I decided to believe James that your tongue can turn your whole body is that true or is it true if it's true then there is nothing on your body that you can't change with your tongue and because you believe you speak so you use your tongue to say what you believe so if you want to change your body change your believing amen this is where a lot of this stuff comes from you know if you've heard the man renewal stuff we've talked about how the glial cells in the corpus collosum in your brain the glial cells there all you have to do is stop and choose to produce more and your body will produce more that's all you're gonna do just stop and decide I'm going to produce new blood cells right now and you will instantly produce new glial cells which helps determine how fast information goes across and actually you appear smarter you're not smarter you just think faster but it makes you think faster now also you can do the same thing with the pineal gland that you can actually cause it to release the hormones and things that it's supposed to release do you know that one of the reasons you have problems in your body isn't even the devil a lot of it's the devil and it comes from him you know from the beginning but a lot of it is just because you know this applies to women more than men a lot of the problems you have in your body is because you hate that part of your body and you have spoken against that part of your body and you've used your tongue to turn your body in the negative against that part of your body and then some sickness or things sets it up it sets up itself in it and it's because you hate that part of your body and you use your own tongue against you so your tongue can turn your body and it can turn it around and it can change everything about you hide and watch the next great breakthrough of the church is gonna be in the area of using the mind with the mind of Christ to accomplish God's will in our lives mark my words you can write it down you watch that's gonna be the next big breakthrough amen and it's gonna be releasing the power of the Spirit it of the Spirit of God out of your spirit into your soul into the very cells of your brain that's gonna cause a turnaround that's going to cause things to happen that people are gonna take notice about it and they're gonna start saying how are you doing that and you're gonna say here's how I did it and you're gonna take them to James and you're going to show what what you believe counts it's just as simple there is gonna be a group of people that actually believe the Word of God amen even down to those minor things so all right so we're gonna talk about this this week we're gonna as they would say activate you and some of these things we're going to show you how to move in these things we're gonna we've released a book called releasing the spirit into the flesh we're gonna teach you about that but more than just talking about it we're gonna take you through and show you how to do it because that what if something attacks my body that's how I get rid of it right is by releasing the spirit out of my spirit into my flesh to drive that sickness out it's have done it for the last 20 years and now it's a constant thing that I don't even have to think about it amen so we're gonna do that this week for other great time so let's all pray father I thank you for your work father I thank you for what you have planned for this week and we are fully open to your plans we're open to your word not man's word not man's opinion your word by your spirit and we thank you Father and we receive your word and we receive what you have for us and we receive that things by the Spirit of God of revelation and understanding and that we have our minds enlightened to receive your word so father we just know it's time it's time for us to grow up and be more like Jesus so father we thank you in every area of our life we receive your word your blessing and we say so be it unto me according to your word in Jesus name right now right now father I thank you your word is true I think you're right now in the name of Jesus that every sickness and every disease under the sound of my voice you will bow your knee to the name of Jesus he is paid for their healing and the enemy has no place here no right here and he will go now every sickness every disease right now bodies you be regulated systems of everybody be regulated function correctly in Jesus name right now we set you free pain go now in Jesus name we set them free in the name of Jesus be free be healed be made whole be blessed in Jesus name Amen amen [Music]
