update on what's been happening in 2020. you know we couldn't do what we do without the help of the friends of revival today and brother jonathan and sister dallas shuttlesworth who are feeding over 1200 kids each and every day with good food and the gospel of jesus christ it's been a crazy year but god has been good we've seen him do some incredible things in reaching out and providing life-saving hope to the least of these and for those of us here in the united states you know we've uh we've experienced a lot of ups and downs through these coveted shutdowns and economic crises and for some it's been a blessing in disguise for others it's brought a lot of hardship with loss of jobs and downturns in business but through it all you have been faithful and you have put the lord first thank you so much for considering the poor above even ourselves we've seen an increase of about 40 ministry this year over 20 million meal servings have gone out from feed the hungry to feed the hungry to strengthen the church and to reach the loss in 24 nations including here in the united states hundreds of thousands of families have been able to get their prayer answered when they say lord give us this day our daily bread you've been there to provide life sustaining good healthy meals to feed them and their families thank you for helping reach out around the world again and god bless you [Music] welcome to pittsburgh pennsylvania as the dallas and i are here to announce our next big move biggest move we've ever made for revival today behind me is a building that will look nothing like it looks right now when we finish we're on just under five acres of property that we've just finished purchasing which is going to give us the ability to have a state-of-the-art studio and in that studio something i've wanted to have for a long time which is a live studio audience it's going to be a 500 seat building when we finish with it that'll give us the ability to touch the world with our broadcast this facility is going to give me the ability to do what i've really missed which is having you in the audience to minister to personally obviously you can't beat the reach of digital media we touch the whole world every day but we have the ability now with this to lay hands on people pray for people that are sick a place where you can bring people that are drug addicted demonized and really give them the ministry that you can't get on youtube and facebook i can't wait and then beyond that we're going to announce the launch of revival today church we're going to hold holy ghost church services every sunday morning i'll be there most sunday mornings this isn't going to be like some little side project we're going to give you and your family a place you can go that's a soul winning church that values the presence of god where you can get prayed for administered to where there's not a critical race theory lecture or a mass in social distancing 10 minutes of no talking to anybody in the lobby none of that we're going to have a place where you're free and where you're free to experience the presence of god i'm incredibly excited because i know a lot of you have been asking about different meetings and events that we couldn't have during covet and trust me we tried so hard so this really frees us up to do everything that we want to do with healing meetings and women's conferences so i am so looking forward to seeing you and having you be a part of this so i want to give you a two-fold call to action number one if your church turned in to a liberal nightmare in 2020 and you need a place to go i would be happy to have you at our church number two if you are a partner or a friend of our ministry revival today this is the biggest move by far we've ever made by the time we finish remodeling that building the acquiring of the property you're looking at a couple of m's so if you uh if you would stand with us now i'll say thank you ahead of time pray and ask the holy ghost what he would have you to do you've been so generous and i thank you ahead of time for your extreme generosity i know i speak on behalf of my wife everybody here at revival today when i say we love you very much and now i can say i look forward to seeing you face to face here at the new home of revival today [Music] and god will do two things tonight that demon that's assigned to your life he'll pick him up and throw him out of here [Music] gonna stop it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] but when you stand up straight with your shoulders back and have a clean look in your eye the fire of god down in your spirit and he sees that you know who you are the devil will back off for free i prophesy in the name of jesus christ every demon spirit assigned to your life it backs off for free today in the name of jesus christ [Music] well welcome to pittsburgh pennsylvania i'm jonathan shuttlesworth and i'm glad that you're with me today i titled it bible passages god used to change my life that will change your life as well i want you if you have your bible open with me to proverbs chapter 4 proverbs the fourth chapter glad that you're here we were off youtube put back on youtube given a strike in less than 20 hours from when they put us back on appealed the strike they accepted our appeal and we're back on youtube so again the quicker you can switch over to our app the better the app you can get it on your browser revivaltoday.tv or you can go to the app store google play revival today instead of it saying making it harder for the devil should say we made this because the devil was making it harder proverbs chapter 4 verse 1 my children listen when your father corrects you pay attention and learn good judgment for i'm giving you good guidance don't turn away from my instructions for i too was once my father's son tenderly loved as my mother's only child my father taught me take my words to heart follow my commands and you will live look at that proverbs 4 4. take my words to heart follow my commands and you will live you say jesus gives us life but the primary way that christ communicates that life is through his word so the bible says to pay attention to the commands of this book and you'll live get wisdom develop good judgment so there's two side effects from spending time in the word wisdom and good judgment if you have bad judgment it's a problematic life if you're not good at picking a wife or a husband or friends or a business partner or an accountant you're going to spend a lot of time in court you're going to have to pay a lot of extra money that you wouldn't have to pay or the bible because it was both written by the holy spirit and also kind of attracts the holy spirit while you're reading it because it turns your spirit on faith comes by hearing hearing by the word of god what happens is when you read the bible you become sensitive to things and situations and people that in the busyness of life you would have never you would have never uh noticed you know anybody buy a show of emoji hands in the comments ever read been reading the bible or taking time to study the bible on your own and some association you had or friendship or decision you were getting ready to make just kind of started coming up in your spirit and you started to become clear or have a different like the old-timers would call it a leading about it that you didn't have before and think no i need this i need to quit spending time there i need to distance myself from that person i need to spend more time with this person it becomes clear because the bible says the that it gives you wisdom and good judgment don't forget my words or turn away from them don't turn your back on wisdom for she will protect you love her and she will guard you getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do and whatever else you do develop good judgment we never you know these are the kind of things that are like ignored in the bible that god put a high premium on on good judgment and wisdom i can't tell you i mean who knows how much money and time it ends up sending you are saving you in life to make good decisions what land you're going to buy what land you're going to not buy what would have happened you know many of you have heard me tell that story about somebody giving us a million dollars back in 2016 at a church of less than 200 people it was miraculous but what i did with that million dollars is what created a lot of good things now what if i would have made the decision you know what a hundred thousand dollars is an awful lot of money to tithe i'm not that's kind of ridiculous i'm not tithing that well i know ministries that were given a million dollars two of them that were in worse shape two years after they were given the million than they were after they almost became like lottery winners if you ever watch those specials on people that win the lottery and get a huge sum of money then they just end up losing everything in their life because they didn't know how to handle the money and destroyed them well instead even back then in 2016 my budget was more than a million dollars for the year so if i try to hang on to that money it's going to disappear but when i put into circulation i think we gave 420 000 to 480 000 of it away well what happened now well now we have millions come in and that's without anybody having written a million dollar check so the decision the wisdom and good judgment to take half of it and plant it as seed in the kingdom of god made made for a wonderful five years since then wisdom and good judgment if you prize wisdom she will make you great embrace her and she will honor you she will place a lovely wreath on your head she will present you with a beautiful crown those are powerful scriptures if you prize wisdom wisdom will make you great so proverbs is the book of wisdom in the bible there's 31 chapters there's 31 days or less in all months and a lot of old time pastors would tell you to take one chapter of proverbs and read it every day with the corresponding month billy graham read a proverb every day even when he was older i think he cut it back to one proverb and one psalm so there was worship and meditation out of psalms and then there was wisdom for daily living out of proverbs my child listen to me and do as i say and you'll have a long good life i will teach you wisdom ways and lead you in straight paths when you walk you won't be held back and when you run you won't stumble i want you to write that down no stumbling i mean yeah we all stumble no the bible says that if you prize wisdom out of god's word you won't make missteps and the wisdom that god's talking about here is spiritual wisdom it's not carnal wisdom it's not mental wisdom that's why it's insane when you hear people say yes god's a healer but he expects us to use wisdom too and they're saying it like there's a carnal wisdom higher than god's wisdom in his word there's not see if i can find it off hand if i do it'll be a miracle i think it's job 28 it might be job 26. yep i got it it's a miracle job 28 12. but do people know where to find wisdom where can they find understanding no one knows where to find it for it is not found among the living it's not here says the ocean nor is it here says the sea it cannot be bought with gold it cannot be purchased with silver it's worth more than all the gold to vote fear greater than the precious onyx or lapis luz luzili your guess is as good as mine what that is wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal it cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold coral and jasper are worthless in trying to get it the price of wisdom is far above rubies precious peridot from ethiopia can't be exchanged for it it's worth more than the purest gold but do people know where to find wisdom where can they find understanding it is hidden from the eyes of all humanity even the sharp-eyed birds in the sky cannot discover it destruction and death say we've only sorry we've only heard rumors of where wisdom can be found [Music] god alone understands the weight of wisdom he knows where it can be found for he looks throughout the whole earth and sees everything under the heavens he decided how hard the wind should blow and how much rain should fall he made the laws for the rain and laid out a path for the lightning then he saw wisdom and evaluated it he set it in place and examined it thoroughly and this is what he says to all humanity fear of the lord is true wisdom or fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom and to forsake evil is understanding there's four types of wisdom all wisdom can be broken into four categories number one there's carnal or sensual wisdom when a baby is born the baby never puts the mouth on its mother's earlobe you don't have to instruct it to put its mouth on its mother's breast that baby knows that fresh out of the womb because god instilled certain wisdoms in people it's just like carnal nature human wisdom number two there's demonic wisdom which is what which doctors and witches that are real ones operate in they get they get wisdom from demon spirits number three there's learned wisdom that's what people go to university for and number four the highest by far and i didn't give those in order because the the demonic one would be higher than the university one but number four the highest the bible said in job 28 that there's a wisdom that the earth doesn't know anything about there's a wisdom that hell doesn't know anything about it's the wisdom of god and i want you to write this in your notes god's word contains god's wisdom god's word is god's wisdom in print i think it's right in the beginning of proverbs chapter 1 it says that this book will make the simple wise so even if you're a naturally stupid person if you spend quality time in god's word every day it'll have a transforming impact on your brain where it'll make you wise there's an 86 year old minister who i talk with from time to time he's sharp as attack he doesn't talk about anything from the past he talks about what's going on in america right now something that he read his mind is is sharper than people my age and younger that are outside of god's word and you know smoke weed most days they get dull spending time outside of god makes you duller and then spending time in god's word worship is great singing is great that ministers to the lord but as far as what ministers to you god's word ministers to you so i wrote down bible passages god used to change my life that will change your life as well i'm going to give you the first one proverbs 24 27. proverbs 24 27. prepare thy work without or on the outside and make it fit for thyself in the field and afterward build thine house another translation says it like this establish your business then build your house proverbs 24 27 establish your business then build your house this is dake's note prepare or plan the outside work make or repair your tools in winter so as to be ready to work in the fields in the spring after this continue to build and establish your house establish your business then build your house i want you to write that in the in the comments and in your notes this is my first memory of reading the bible and having something jump off the page to me where god spoke to me out of his word my grandfather went to a bible college called zion bible institute and he met my grandmother there my father went to that same school and met my mother there as did most of my uncles meet their wives there i went there and didn't meet anybody to marry so i graduated and i always thought that that's how things were going to work for me that by the you know i'd meet somebody in bible college i'd graduate and then sometime that summer get married and start off in the ministry so when that didn't happen it was like the first time in my life that i didn't know what to do in that area of life because i wanted to get married and uh i felt the lord speak to me when i was reading my devotions at my home i was in my in my upstairs bedroom at my parents house in brewer maine and i read establish your business then build your house when i read that the holy spirit spoke two things to me out of that verse number one the holy spirit reminded me of friends i had who had gotten married that because they hadn't established any kind of business the marriage basically pulled them out of the ministry that well i can't you know i can't support uh me and a wife being a youth pastor or whatever they were doing and they ended up going and getting a job so i felt the lord speak to me right now the business that i've given you and business is a crude word uh in one aspect to talk about the ministry that way but you understand what i'm saying the work of your hands that i gave you to do right now you haven't even built it up built it up big enough to support you so if if a woman came alongside you you're living at home [Music] it would just be a problem it would be a weight it wouldn't be something you enjoy it would be it would create a problem establish your business then build your house and then a second thing came alongside that from the lord the day will come right now if you got married it would pull you out of the the ministry or it at least would be it would distract your focus however the day will come where your ministry will get built enough that a wife can come right alongside you and you won't miss a beat and that is exactly what happened with a dollars that principle though after i got married i've pretty much taken as a um a set pattern of operation and if you're in the ministry especially i want you to to hear me and actually any business owner because solomon was not a preacher solomon was a king this is a principle from the bible again if you already wrote it underline it and if you haven't written it write it down because it'll help you establish your business then build your house it's not the money you don't have that keeps you small it's what you do with what's coming into your hands that keeps you small or that determines your growth i've lived in several states and i've attended several home churches one of the churches i attended when i was much younger there was a couple that got a settlement i think they got like thousand dollars they were poor they were a poor couple if if if they didn't live in section eight housing they lived in something close to that they were poor government assisted housing if you're watching from from another country when they got that 26 000 as soon the next sunday they walked into church she had a louis vuitton purse he had like brand new versace sunglasses i mean it just looked like they looked like like drug dealers you know drug dealers can't deposit their money they have to spend it so that's why that's where all the gold chains and rims and everything come from because a drug dealer's money has no home they look like drug dealers it's like to them that 26 thousand dollars might as well have been 26 million dollars when you've never had 500 in your bank account or 700 and you have 26 000 and you don't have any wisdom it's going to be a problem for most people so they they bought everything you brand new jordans for him on down the line and uh six weeks later they were applying at the church for the benevolence program which is money they give to hurting people the pastor asked them what happened to the to the money oh it's gone you know so think of this not only did they spend all the money because they're they're on government programs and don't have to pay taxes they don't know anything about taxes so they're going to end up getting hit you know just just destroyed them but i bring that up because uh i don't know who wrote the book or who made the statement but there's a statement in the business world leaders eat last write that down leaders eat less the bible conveys part of that point and establish your business then build your house i'm bringing this up and i i don't like bringing this up because people people are gonna take it um people would would misinterpret what i'm saying let me say this before i say the main thing i'm gonna say there's no home that you could have i'm talking about you personally that's watching me there's no home that you could have that would be big enough for me to be happy for you if you build a huge mansion i would hope one day you get a bigger one i'm all for blessing and personal blessing there's no amount of land you could own that i would think would be too much there's no car you could drive that i think would be too expensive so please remember that i just said that so establish your business then build your house i have still now the lord gave me that revelation when i was 21. i still have not built a house and i'm 40 years old getting ready to turn 41. could i have oh yeah did you know when that person gave me uh the million dollars in the offering back then i had three employees so i didn't i didn't need um i i didn't have to spend that on it it's not like i i was in debt and that person gave me the million and i was able to bail myself out that was a million extra dollars it would have been legal for me in the united states to earmark 800 000 of that for a parsonage you know because it's legal for your ministry to provide you as a minister a house that's owned by the ministry so i could have done it that way in the paperwork back then in pittsburgh you could build a mansion for eight hundred thousand dollars five years ago when pittsburgh had some of the lowest housing prices in in the nation pittsburgh's housing prices were so low that during the housing crash of 2008 they were one of the only real estate markets that the houses still went slightly up because they were they were below the crash levels before the crash i could have built myself a dream home but let me ask you a question how stupid is it to live in a mansion and have a 600 square foot office area that you lease for your ministry i don't have one problem whatsoever with a minister having a bentley a rolls royce but i'm going to tell you something there's two different kinds of ministers that have nice things like that if you see one and they have a bentley or a rolls royce and their church is a palace with several thousand people coming every sunday the church is immaculate the lobby is immaculate the parking lot has fresh blacktop that makes sense but when somebody pulls up a rolls royce to a storefront church with ripped up indoor outdoor carpeting something's wrong and i'll tell you what's wrong is they're not following this principle they're not establishing their business and pouring everything back into the thing that god gave them to do you will separate yourself from the pack listen to me you will separate yourself from the pack if you learn something called and you can write these two words down delayed gratification delayed gratification if you get seven thousand dollars somebody gives you seven thousand dollars right now you go buy a rolex um my mother's in the commons we lived in a neighborhood when i was growing up it wasn't it was a nice neighborhood they were townhouses like little like condos i only say little condos they were nice condos but they're condos everybody that's living there for the most part everybody that lived there was renting their home a guy down the street from us won the lottery i don't know uh if i see people watching from other countries do they do they have lottery where you're at it's it's they draw numbers you know you pick numbers if they pick your numbers they have ones in america where you can win a ton of money so this guy won i think he won this is back in like 1990. he won like 270 000 which was a lot of money back then he bought a lamborghini coutage very nice red lamborghini and he was a nice guy when i would be playing street hockey with my friends he'd ask us if we wanted a ride and he i remember one time he took me around in the red lamborghini drove me all around in it in the neighborhood you could do that stuff back then without getting murdered or molested it was a great time so uh it probably he probably kept the lamborghini about four months somewhere around there because when your lamborghini needs tuned up you can't take it to pet boys you have to get the parts from italy i think when you get a lamborghini somebody can tell me i would just be guessing but i think when you just get it for its regular like maintenance it's like three grand and he didn't have it he still had his regular job making 30 or 40 000 a year and now had a car that he couldn't afford the upkeep on why obviously his dream was to own a lamborghini when he bought it that would be the opposite of delayed gratification that's what most people do whatever their dream thing is to have the second they get enough money for it they buy it delayed gratification or leaders eat last or establish your business build your house what if that guy would have taken that two hundred and seventy thousand dollars and instead of him having a dream car he had a dream an actual dream of accomplishing something i guess probably if i was going to put this in teaching form which i am because i'm live on here right now you should you it's not you know the bible says delete yourself in the lord and i'll give you the desires of your heart again i couldn't be any less against that i'm all for it there's nothing wrong with having desires in your heart for tangible things god put that in you the desire to increase came from god god put that in men but your dream in life should not be to possess a thing your dream in life should be an accomplishment something god put you on the earth to accomplish that way when money comes in you don't funnel it to purchase something you funnel it towards the accomplishment your dream accomplishment for me my dream accomplishment is to dispel the word of god to as many people as possible as excellently as possible and see people that don't know the lord jesus christ receive jesus christ and people that are in pain and broken and hurting healed and be able to do that to the most possible people in the least amount of time that's my that's my everything for me revolves around that so when money comes into my hand i'm not thinking about what can i buy now for me i'm thinking because and i'm telling you that's my desire because i don't i don't have to i don't have to insist on it what you spend your money on proves it and i spend money on that now think of this with me i have not built a home i live in a leased condo in a neighborhood but i now own three pieces of commercial property around pittsburgh and two apartments and a dentist's office in doing that money is produced use money to build your dream accomplishment and produce more money turn to matthew 25. i think i dealt with this about 10 days ago matthew 25 14 again the kingdom of heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip he called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone he gave five bags of silver to one two bags of silver to another and one bag of silver to the last dividing it in proportion to their abilities he then left on his trip note very interesting write that down dividing it in proportion to their abilities your ability according to scripture does have a bearing on how much god entrusts to you financially and so that doesn't make you a man i wish i had more ability ability can be developed and should be developed he divided it in proportion to their abilities he then left on his trip the servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more bags the servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more but the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master's money after a long time the master returned from his trip and called to them to give an account on how they had used his money the servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said master you gave me five bags of silver to invest write this down if you would the wise servant saw what god had given him as something that should be increased dallas and i started working out of the living room of our little apartment with an iphone as our computer we we couldn't afford a computer then we got faith to buy a computer then our ministry grew enough where we had to hire two people which necessitated an office and we leased a little office then we moved out of there and leased a bigger office then we released the office we had moved out of and had two and then outgrew those and bought our first building outgrew this bought the second building that's called increase it's a sin to stay where you are now something's wrong if you stay at the same place same financial level no you know i'll say it like this and again you're not sitting here you're at home so there should be no reason it's not like i'm looking at you and uh lecturing you i want you to ask you should take evaluation of yourself what has increased this year in my life or ministry or business what new steps have i taken you saw the video at the beginning of of the broadcast for us the answer to that question will be that when the year started we had two buildings and no church when the year ends we'll have we'll have a church on top of the evangelistic ministry it's not shifting from evangelism to pastoring it's adding a base church that god's going to use mightily in the nation on top of the evangelism that's big that's a huge increase i met people this last week where are you from florida oh are you up here visiting no we moved here to come to come to the church okay and then other people we met from other states doing the same thing that's called increase so you should put some kind of target if january 1st rolls around and you're the same place you were january 1st the year before then somehow you fell into the trap of maintaining where you're at somebody wrote in the comments the thing that i said it's a sin to stay where i am now i probably should back that up with a scripture because it sounds harsh the first command that god gave man in genesis 1 is what be fruitful and multiply luke chapter 13 the bible says that the man that owned the vineyard vineyard came and said these three years i've come seeking fruit from this tree and it's produced none i'll give it one more year and if it still hasn't produced fruit i'll chop it down because it's taking up space in my garden god expects a return i mean this is matthew 25 this is an old testament this is jesus the embodiment of grace well done my good and faithful servant you've been faithful in handling this small amount so now i will give you many more responsibilities let's celebrate together the servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said master you gave me two bags of silver to invest and i've earned two more the master said well done [Music] my good and faithful servant you've been faithful in handling the small amounts and i'll give you many more responsibilities let's celebrate together then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said master i knew you were a harsh man harvesting crops you didn't plant and gathering crops you didn't cultivate i was afraid i would lose your money so i hid it in the earth so you hear that story about those people that bought a louis vuitton prayers and sunglasses and blew through their 26 thousand dollars and we're poor again and you say man how stupid god feels the exact same way about people that just leave their money doing nothing save it savings accounts are a waste of money if you factor in inflation if you took a hundred dollars and put it in a safe in 1960 to save it that hundred dollars would now be worth twenty 20 in 1960s money so 80 of it would be lost through inflation that's why saving a savings account and this is not a financial lesson but it's kind of turning into one savings accounts are called by investors safely losing money so you're not to spend the bible says a fool spends everything he gets and then you see from matthew 25 a fool sets money away and just lets it sit let's say you saved up eleven thousand dollars that's a reasonable amount of money to save up and let's say you put in a savings account you lose four percent or with biden and probably six percent to seven percent every year with with inflation what if you took the 11 000 and bought a plot of land in a developing neighborhood that you were allowed you did the legal work on it you're allowed to resell it and you sat on it like you like that 11 000 would just be sitting in your savings account and that neighborhood became a popular neighborhood and now the the plots weren't worth 11 000 they were worth 23 000. well when you get ready you go to sell it pay who the real estate guy his percentage and that 11 turned into 19. that's what you do that's what you do with money you increase it the bible says so here well done my good and faith what did what did jesus say to the man that took the five bags of silver and increased it you know you could have been doing other things than just thinking about money no well done my good and faithful servant i'll now give you more responsibilities but this guy i was afraid i would lose your money so i hid it in the earth look here is your money back but the master replied you wicked and lazy servant if you knew i harvested crops i didn't plant and gathered crops i didn't cultivate why didn't you deposit my money in the bank at least i could have gotten some interest on it this is a bible story it's letting you know how god thinks it's letting you know how god thinks about money and it's letting you know how god thinks about people god doesn't have the same level of trust and approval for everybody clearly some pastors he's entrusted with 15 people some pastors he's entrusted with fifteen thousand how do you handle what i put in your hands do you squander it do you bury it or do you increase it now if you think that this principle still isn't in effect then explain to me how the church that we bought ran down to 11 people and then had lost their property to us who are increasing if you don't increase what god puts in your hand god took what he gave to the one and gave it to one who who was increasing it's funny how christians all say they're against um socialism and communism but they operate like socialists and communists most christians wouldn't have done what jesus did here if they had three people they gave an assignment to and the one and the one doubled his money and the other one was still struggling they would take from the guy that doubled his money and give it to even things out but that's not what jesus did he then he ordered matthew 25 28 take the money from this servant and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver matthew 25 29 key scripture to those who use well what they are given even more will be given and they will have an abundance but to those who do nothing even what little they have will be taken away to those who use well what they are given even more will be given so above above the teaching on giving and sowing and reaping here is a key bible principle for increase to him who uses well what he's been given he will be given more and have an abundance using well what you are given which in context is multiplying what god's put in your hands they will be given more and they'll have an abundance and that's true i've got four cameras staring at me right now it use it was a big deal when we bought our first camera and they were lower quality than these cameras go back and watch the videos we had from 2016 2017 they're they're passable but now now for this you know these are the best cameras this is a more or less the best microphone you're just getting into preference and we have backup cameras for when they go down that we bought no problem backup microphone backup backup video board backup monitors we have a room with just duplicate equipment of all the equipment we have right now if you'd have told me i'd have that six years ago i wouldn't have believed you but i learned that jesus wasn't blowing smoke when he gave this principle to he who uses well what he's been given he will be given even more and have an abundance have i used well what god gave me when i had one camera we broadcast it every day and say you know there's people all at the beginning of the year that are in the ministry we're going to start doing a podcast every day and then they do it about nine times or for three weeks and then they haven't done one since since the winter or early spring they they don't use well what they've been given they're inconsistent and again i'm all over the map today but i will tell you one of the secrets to being consistent in the thing god called you to do is to develop a daily system pertaining to your calling or your business because do you know what a system does a system takes motivation out of the equation i've announced i'm teaching at 11 o'clock doesn't matter whether i feel like teaching at 11 o'clock or not that's my system and it's the best possible use of my time because the bible says the sower sows the word a minister's job is to dispel the word of god to people the more you do it the better when it comes to my health and my body i didn't just join a gym i hired a trainer why because if all i have is a gym membership i'm not going to go very much but when i have a scheduled appointment where i'm going to hurt somebody's livelihood if i don't show up that makes me have to go so that takes motivation out of the equation if i went to the gym when i felt like going to the gym i would go to the gym zero times a year let alone a week but with with a system set up that doesn't happen now here's some things i want to pass along to you since since i ended up on on this train have you developed a daily system that pertains to your calling i want you to write and i'm not gonna have to write stuff and type stuff all the time just to put in the comments but i want you to write that this a daily system that pertains to my calling otherwise you'll just work a job without so let's write this down number one what was the thing i said that you needed instead of wanting to to buy things you needed uh a dream accomplishment god put you on earth to accomplish to bring something into the earth or bring something into your generation or take something away from your generation for oral roberts it was tuberculosis had tons of people healed of that number one i want to ask you what is your dream accompli what is it that is your dream to bring into being something you want to bring into being into the earth you should be able to answer that if you can't answer that question your life will devolve into you working a job coming home having some dinner watching some tv and going to sleep every day and i'll tell you what the place of a job is if i worked a job [Music] i would still have a dream accomplishment and i would work that job and launch my dream accomplishment endeavor on my off day saturday whatever day i was off i was off mondays if they say i worked at a plant and they gave me mondays off i would use monday not to sit in my sweatpants and watch college football replays on espn i would launch that thing on monday and believe for it to grow and increase i would get ideas for how to grow at an increase willie george who i know is gospel bill called it a sixth day project in america there's a five-day work week most of the countries where you're watching me from there's a five-day work week take that sixth day and launch your six-day project that pertains to your dream accomplishment making custom diamond rings customizing automobiles you take one client at a time because you you're having to work at your house get it launched despise not the day of small beginnings for your latter end will greatly increase it delights the lord to see the work begin don't worry about i don't have a an audit yeah you don't have anything when you start start anyway this broadcast that you're watching right now that's on however many different platforms do you know how it started me and my phone that's how it started that was all i had start with what you have quit waiting to have what you supposedly need take what's at your disposal and get get moving this this young evangelist was arguing with another older evangelist the young evangelist was an idiot and he was he was knocking benny hen and he goes i could do what benny hinn's doing if i had a jet well benny hinden what do you think benny hinn came out of the womb with a jet anybody that you see that has a lot they all started with nothing they all started naked covered in some kind of bloody slime coming out of their mom's womb and they took it from there men increase because of decisions not because of what they have access to it actually develops a strength in you to start with nothing that's why a lot of rich business owners children are bums because they had everything handed to them they don't they never had to think they never had to develop strategy that's why the bible tells you despise not the day of small beginnings it makes you strong number one what is your dream accomplishment what's your assignment what do you know the lord gave you to do get it launched i don't mean quit your job and start it no keep them both going at the same time like smith wigglesworth did he remained a plumber while he was traveling and preaching number one what is your dream accomplishment that's not a vocation i'm going to tell you the difference between having a dream accomplishment and having a vocation mindset you know if you come from a nation with european roots like america south africa europe or you're actually in europe they they teach you jobs because it was kings and subjects so they get you an employment mentality but i'm going to tell you what the difference is employment mentality is one day i want to be a pastor accomplishment mentality is one day i want to have the most influential church in billings montana oklahoma city oklahoma whatever so the vocation's part of it but but without the accomplishment and you just end up somebody that's happy to have a title and an office with a little plaque at the front pastor jonathan that's not it what is your dream accomplishment number two delayed gratification delayed i'm going to add a word to it delayed personal gratification you get your first hundred thousand dollars it's not time to put a down payment on a house or buy a luxury car put it back in to the business establish your business then build your house where's your website how can i find you what advertising are you doing to make people aware of the thing that you've started the cars and homes and stuff come later let me ask you and then there's a reason why god put it that way if i put a down payment on a big home right and my ministry takes in 150 000 a year i lay awake at night in that big home hoping more money comes in because i'm spending everything that's coming into my hands on that mortgage payment and my car payments and my car insurance if i take that money and instead of putting a down payment on a home put it back into my assignment and in ways that causes it to increase the day will come where i can pay cash for that home and sleep like a baby at night because there's more money than what i require what good is it to have a big house and a big car that you can't could barely make the payments for and are dodging calls on your caller id it's not time for that yet the time will come delayed personal gratification shows you have faith that you're going to increase that's why i hesitate to tell that story about my house and stuff because people people hear it as i don't i won't have a nice house instead i'm going to have a big ministry or a big business but i'm not saying that just wait time will come where you pay cash for a house where you live in a house where you like to go on vacation and never even feel it if you'll just wait a little and put the priority on what the bible said to put the priority on establish your business build it strong build it nice build it with excellence and then build your house delayed personal gratification it's probably why older guys that are successful were out of style clothes because those were the clothes that were in style when they were 20 or 30 and one of them and they said i'll buy it later and then they did but they're not in style anymore that's my guess number three money should birth more money even what i'm spending on building that church i'm not looking at it as throwing money away or money i have to spend to build a church the more excellent it's built which costs more money the more beautiful it looks on the outside and inside the better it smells the more people come which will increase the ministry not just money wise all wise spend money to birth more money be like the servant matthew 25 that got commended not the one that got rebuked do things with your money that birth more money money is meant to birth more money i told you that illustration if you put your money in a safe in 1960 80 of it got stolen in the safe because no safe can keep out the government's theft through inflation so you nee you need the monies meant to be kept in circulation to produce more money if you have money in a savings account you're wasting your money you should keep a minimum amount in the checking account obviously you need money there to pay your bills and everything but the bulk of the money once you start having overflow with your money shouldn't go in a savings account you should begin and it's different for everybody whether you're going to do real estate whether you're going to do stocks whether you have a good feeling about a cryptocurrency but start making moves in the direction of multiplying your excess money and when you do that god will give you more when you start thinking that way and pointing yourself in that direction because you're obeying god money just starts finding you i'm telling you you become a money magnet because you're somebody you're a servant that that is operating in a way that the master approves of [Music] somebody put in the comments what about insurance what about insurance i don't know what that has to do with anything i'm talking about money should birth more money number four employee careful continual honest self evaluation take stock of yourself at the end of every week month i want to go much longer than a month what have i done these last seven days what have i done cynthia said where can i learn how to put money into a stock or a bond it's a great question and one i've been getting a lot put the promo up for patrick's program we launched this a handful of months ago for that reason just like i'm on at 11 o'clock patrick's on monday to friday any day the market's open at 9 20 a.m 10 minutes before the stock market opens up he runs the money for our ministry he's been working with me since 2014. he's brilliant and gifted in the area of money and he'll help you plus you can ask him specific questions and i'll help you check the market 9 20 am facebook twitter youtube and the revival today at thanks kayla employ careful continual honest self-evaluation what have i done the last 30 days that presses towards the expansion of my uh dream accomplishment so set little goals for yourself do you have a website make it a goal to have a website in the next 30 days i mean i was going to give you an example an example but i can't anybody anybody with a brain that's been watching me right this time there's been something that you kind of have let slide that the lord's kind of like perked up in you and that's your thing to get done in the next 30 days and by the end of the day you're welcome cynthia employ careful continual honest self-evaluation there's a problem if you come to the end of the year and everything's the same that's 12 months that have been wasted so that brings me to my fifth point i think this will be the last one employ a daily accomplishment focused routine and uh routine slash system right down under that systems are better than goals if you have a goal and no system to reach the goal i want to play in the major leagues okay what do you do what do you do every day i'm just hoping i go sometimes i go in the yard and just throw the ball uh you're not gonna make you don't have a system that leads to the major leagues you need to be playing uh high school baseball aau or whatever they call it you need to be doing something that gets that a system that leads to where you want to go so if you have goals but no system you won't go anywhere where somebody that had a system with no goals but the system was still pointed in that in the direction they would they would accomplish things have a daily employ a daily accomplishment focused system i want you to write it in the comments wow bill said he sold fifty dollars to maddie last week and monday he got a fifty two hundred dollar a year raise not counting overtime i would say employ a daily accomplishment focused write those two words down accomplishment focused great job faith i saw your comment on the app that's awesome that's quite the testimony garrett write down accomplishment focused because when you tell people to employ a daily routine or system they just think you know you're already doing that whether you know it or not accomplishment focused well to understand what accomplishment focused means let's talk about what's not accomplishment focused because almost everybody you meet is busy but everything they're doing has nothing to do with their assignment i take my um kids to school and then after that i'm gonna go to the grocery store because we're out of milk and then i need to go by and get a quote on sheetrock for the church that we're building you're an errand runner now you used to hear people even 10 years ago say you need people to run your errands for you and not do any menial tasks and you think to yourself wow it must be nice to own servants but now that has nothing to do with it do you have to go to the grocery store can you get your groceries delivered you say yeah but it's more expensive well let's say it's fifty dollars more expensive if you can't have done something in the two and a half hours that you would have been grocery shopping that produces fifty dollars or a hundred dollars i don't know what to tell you a great preacher that i know said he knew he knew a businessman that would ha that had or knows another preacher that had a chauffeur he paid him 50 000 a year to drive him and he thought man that's a waste of money that guy could save 50 000 a year by driving himself but let me ask you a question the ideas and books that that guy wrote while he was in the back seat of his car having that guy dro drive him do you think it produced more or less than 50 000 a year because he was in a big city so there's an hour and a half of traffic hour of traffic he had somebody else drive and he took care of business don't be an errand runner have a system have a daily accomplishment focused system the event i'm not saying you can't take your daughter to school that's an investment in in your daughter and your family but i'm saying if your day is dropping people off and picking people up and you're not getting paid for it you're wasting your life because if you ever talk about being productive everybody thinks they're productive because they're all busy all day very busy in fact i would wager that unproductive people are busier than productive people because busyness doesn't produce anything just flying around all day i'm actually not busy i speak and prepare to speak and think and basically if it doesn't fall into one of those three things i don't do it much i don't meet with people much everything i have to say i'm saying right now man i'd love to go out to dinner with you and hear what you have to say you're hearing what i have to say right now and i wouldn't be doing this at a restaurant it would annoy all the other tables don't just be sitting here with a bible outright notes and instructing so this is me this is the best of me at 11 o'clock and because this is my assignment the sower sows the word put all the nations that you're watching from or if you're in the united states state state or city and now think as you write this and you read it in the comments think of all the places i'd have to travel to speak to you and this is a system i've developed that is the best use of my time south africa oklahoma city the uk seattle where i've never been connecticut tennessee ohio oregon texas florida look at this so my old system was traveling and speaking to people 30 and 50 at a time 100 big church 200 500 but now just sit in one spot and i'll travel too but now it's not now i've developed a system that's not just limited and then we keep adding to it check the market has become it offers help to people practical help financially and also becomes an intake valve for investors that then find out about our ministry that aren't christians a lot of them and they become christians and they hear the word check the news same thing matty just keep adding people to it and they all offer something and it builds the vision it's a system edmonton south carolina new mexico saskatchewan clarksburg west virginia just down the road that's right joey said in this way we can listen to a million of your messages on different topics all day long that's then i catalog the messages put them on an app in youtube so people search and find it and you think of this when i stop preaching in a couple of minutes or teaching i'll still be teaching and preaching all over the world on people's phones there's a little digital me that never stops working now wow that's quite the offer sean well come on i'll see what kind of work you do and you won't you won't do the landscaping on our church for free because it's not scriptural to work for free i'll pay you after i see how good you do but i get a feeling you do well employ a daily accomplishment-focused routine system i'll close with that my wife loves to clean her mother is an expert cleaner adolescent magos would help her clean the house growing up and they're both very good at it they're very clean adala starts inspecting a hotel room the second we check in many times we'll then go out and get our own cleaning supplies and re re-clean the hotel room it's not a mental disorder but it's close it was very difficult for me to talk her in to getting our laundry dropped off at a wash and fold and hiring someone to come in and clean our home because the way she was raised you're like a lousy wife if you don't do those two things that's a wife's job well i had to tell her that would be true if all you were was a housewife and there's nothing wrong with that but i said how long does it take you to clean the house three hours how long does it take you to do do laundry hour and a half okay so let's say you group it all in together and it's three hours the minimal amount of money relatively we pay for washing fold and someone to come in and clean over time those are extra mighty series books that are never written it's not a good use of a dallas's time with her great brain and great writing skills and great teaching skills to be washing clothes that's a waste of that talent when what's going to produce more over time see laundry's maintenance house cleaning is maintenance it doesn't produce money so if somebody like her is doing something that produces nothing that's a waste when you could hire someone to do those things which we can obviously there was a day we couldn't have done that and she can instead write or study so that her messages are fresher her books you know now they're coming out with spanish version and the books keep popping an accomplishment based system not a maintenance based system so i guess those are the two things accomplishment based or maintenance based most people are very busy but they're busy doing maintenance do you know this church that we're building do you know how many times i've been on the property the day i shot that promo video was the first and last day i've been there i may shoot one more video there and i may just show up when it's all ready to go a i don't like that stuff b it frustrates me when stuff's going slower than i think it should go i so i'll just leave it to other people that know what they're doing and stay out of it because that's not my calling but if i was a normal minister i'd be helping paint i'd be helping buy things i'd be at home depot that's not my that's maintenance based that's not producing anything your time should be producing something all your time can't you have to eat or you die there are some maintenance things you have to do but your day should not consist of maintenance your day should consist of productivity and everybody that works at this ministry if they ever do anything i didn't ask them to do that helps the ministry they get bonuses so they don't have to launch something outside the ministry as they grow whatever thing is in is in their domain as our ministry has grown everybody's gotten raises significant and bonuses significant because that's scriptural because this is their thing god did call them to this so leaders eat last you don't take all the profits and and increase that people build and you suck it all in for you people should be rewarded for for their their minds and in their labor so he said i like doing laundry then do it like the lady that does our laundry and get paid for it do other people's isn't it interesting that david checked twice that he would get a tax-exempt status for life before he killed goliath as the joker said if you're good at something don't do it for free which by and large you don't want to model a lot of your life after the joker but on that thing he's correct proverbs 24 27 establish your business build your house what are you establishing what are you working towards paying your bills at the end of the month or building something on the earth that's going to bring help to people that solves a problem we'll pick this up tomorrow father i thank you for everybody who watched today i pray you'd be a help to them all dormant dreams let them be reawakened in them by your spirit but nobody that's watching or listening just exists by your anointing and by your grace make them into a force on this earth like our father in the faith abraham in jesus name thank you for wisdom thank you for understanding that shows us how to do it thank you for teaching us by your word and by your spirit in jesus name amen all right let's let's give away as a thank you some stuff in line with this what assignment books do we have from mike murdock okay if you can't just get the graphic there's either three or four of them the assignment and i'm going to give away those as always saying thank you for those that give since it's four books i'll say a hundred dollars or more if you do a thousand or more this is the revival okay so here they are volume one the assignment the dream and the destiny number two the anointing and the adversity number three the trials and the triumphs number four the pain and the passion those are mustards if you enjoyed what i had to say today these books will supplement it greatly i'm gonna send them to you as a thank you for sewing into our ministry as we take the gospel of jesus christ all over the world build this church in pittsburgh and the litany of other things we do we're very grateful i send you these books to say i'm grateful but these books are not your return on what you give you saw that guy just write in the comments that he gave uh fifty dollars during maddie's broadcast and in less than a week got a five thousand dollar plus raise not counting his overtime pay what you make happen for others god makes happen for you so why not sow the seed today believing that your dream accomplishment that that god would breathe new life into it and accelerate it coming to being someone said what do you do when you feel to give something and your wife feels to give less i don't know because i don't run anything i'm doing by anyone if i feel to give something it's just given it's not discussed with anybody i have never and i'm sure i've made mistakes i don't know what any of them are but i'm sure i have but uh i'll tell you one thing i've never done is if the lord spoke to me to do something i've never run it by anybody for discussion i never said to my wife what do you think about starting a church my grandfather resigned two churches without telling his wife he did it on the platform felt to resign the church during praise and worship got up and resigned and the first my grandmother heard of it was when it came out of his mouth so that's how we operate leaders lead discussers discuss keep you out of your promised land running it by the 12 spies whether they think you should go on the land and take it or not just do it then let everybody discuss it behind your back while you're doing it i'm sure there's lots of people that have thoughts about whether i should start a church or not it's of zero importance to me i flush something down the toilet today that means as much as whether they think i should start one or not when the lord said start one that's all that's it all discussion from that point forward is how to best do it not whether to do it amen does a wife have to discuss giving with her husband hey pastor prakash pastor tina i love you both i'm not on whatsapp anymore once i found out it was chinese spyware so i'm on signal i have the same phone number i would love to hear from you wow shelby you made my day god moved in my life so much today thank you for not having to stick to the program and just teaching where the lord led you to that you're welcome thank you anna oh look at people giving wow that's amazing love you more you guys were super good to me every time you had me over in india i had a great time with you guys i have a lot that's some of the hardest i've laughed in my life i had so much fun there you i really miss you i hope you come back to america soon when you do you better make sure you tell me i want to see you you guys are fantastic yeah the wife should discuss things with her husband if the husband wants my wife doesn't have to my wife you want to know what our financial setup is adalis gets her paycheck and adults gets my paycheck and i don't even know what bank we use and i live off of money that i just have somehow people always like just get give hey i want to say thank you and they'll hand me money so i just let do that dallas is a is great with money so anything she's in charge of the giving because i don't touch any of it i'm very happy period you ever seen me wear this shirt before if you haven't you haven't wat i got like some clothes i like it doesn't take much to make me happy i like to give there's no amount of dos could give but dallas came to me earlier in the year and said i want to give a hundred thousand dollars i said uh oh well that has to be confirmation because i'm i'm giving a hundred thousand from our ministry to so and so she's no not from the ministry personally well hey i was happy because i didn't even know we had a hundred thousand and b go for it because i don't care anymore i've done everything in my power to give myself bankrupt it doesn't work it always comes back so money money is an easy thing if you stay in line with how god said to manage money the only problem you'll ever have is having enough room to take it all in try it and let
