chat yes i'm kathy duplantis and this is what's your name yes i want to start off with a testimony i saw this and this is the lady from kathy her name is kathy ann mills i love your boardroom chats they are so powerful and spiritually informative helps helps me to discount untruths from my past and know the truth god bless yeah oh that's good really well you know there's so many people have to unlearn some things you know what i'm saying unlearn something i mean you know because religion is a garden of weeds it's a theological wilderness all it does is strangle people and more people have died in religious wars over religion than anything else right when more people should have been born again the exact opposite you know i want to talk about something you would think uh you saw jesus raised up as a child you begin to see his powerful miracle ministry taking place and his hometown just wouldn't have anything to do with it so if you got a bible or an ipad i want you to go to mark chapter six i want to start reading with verse 1 and he went out from thence and came into his own country and his disciples followed him when the sabbath day was come he began to teach in the synagogue and many hearing him were astonishing from which hath this man these things and what wisdom is this that which is given unto him that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands you can tell there's envy there you can tell us jealousy there then they say this is not this the carpenter the son of mary the brother of james and joas and of judah and simon and are not his sisters here with us and they were offended at him how can you be offended when jesus is healing the sick raising the dead casting out devils feeding 5 000 people with a two-piece fish dinner doing all these wonderful things look what jesus said verse 4 a prophet is not without honor but in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house i want you to read that in the amplified then i want to read verse five in the in the um verse five verse four i want you to read that in the amplified then i want to read verse five in the kingdom but jesus said to them a prophet is not without honor deference reverence except in his own country and among his relatives and is in his own house and watch verse 5 he said he could there do no mighty work and you've heard people say didn't say wooden said he couldn't he could there do no mighty work save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them read verse 5 then amplified amplified says and he was not able to do even one work of power there except that he laid his hands on a few sickly people and cured them and verse 6 in the kingdom and he marveled because of their unbelief and it went round about the village's teaching read that in amplified baby and he marveled because of their unbelief their lack of faith in him and he went about amongst us among the surrounding villages and continued teaching it is amazing to me god came to town to be a blessing and they rejected him because they only saw him as a carpenter the son of mary his sisters and the reason why is they were offended offenses is the mother of all unbelief it really is it's one of the most terrible things when you get offended you see what i'm saying now i want you i don't know if it's the message translation are you having another translation i do have open to the passion right now read i want you to read verse 4 that jesus said in the past and then i want to get into this uh and uh well it's three stars isn't this mary's son the carpenter the brother of jacob joseph judah and simon and don't his sisters all live here in nazareth and they took offense at okay verse four verse four and jesus said to to them a prophet is treated with honor everywhere except in his own hometown among his relatives and in his own house read verse five and he was unable to do any great miracle in nazareth except to heal a few sick people by laying his hands on them in verse six and he was amazed at the depth of their unbelief then jesus went out into the different villages and taught the people here's a statement i want to ask is jesus amazed at the depth of your unbelief i am amazed at people that don't believe in healing don't believe in prosperity when most people i know need healing and most people i know need prosperity i think it's significant that at the beginning of the chapter when you read this that jesus was actually in a synagogue in a basically a church service right and he's preaching and instead of listening to what he was saying they're judging him oh i know him why how could i receive anything from him and then just showed us as we finished what we were reading when it got to the end of there it shows jesus's answer to unbelief it shows jesus answers to what happened he says he went around to the other villages teaching the people so jesus everywhere he went the bible talks he went about heal his preaching and teaching and healing so healing is always going to be the result of somebody being taught what the word of god has already said about healing amen amen but to be amazed at the depth of it good god i mean that's that's sad the depth of their unbelief the depth another way was so deep that people could not who were physically hurting well he was there among his own people he was they had heard about the healing promises of god throughout the old testament yeah but catholic miracles they have heard about them don't you think you ought to believe in healing for compassion satan well of course well and yet these people when you get offended you don't have compassion you're not walking in compassion you're not walking in love you're not walking in joy you're not walking in mercy i want to talk about this unbelief it's a contagious disease you know and when people understand it it's infected the body of christ and it's infected the world completely and it started in the garden of eden it's where it started when they didn't believe what god said in fact even the devil challenged eve hath god said it's true and that's just sad it's like it is a contagious disease and actually it's a super spreader [Laughter] because you know it spreads because people tend to just listen to what the doubt is saying and they instead of going to the word of god they entertain those thoughts and they dwell on it and then they begin to doubt what god has promised it's it's more than a pandemic it's an epidemic that's never stopped it has killed more people than anything else in the world unbelief in everything you could think of and here was the son of god right here on the earth and he could do no mighty work right there in his own hometown because of that unbelief the depth of their unbelief the shock look on his face i like that that translates to the expected more yeah now let me ask you this does he marvel at the depth of your faith i love that oh i i i hope that god he does it you know the bible records that he did he said that only like twice was it twice two different times that he marveled at their great faith and and he had said with the centurion oh i have not found greater faith well that's insurance understood authority amen and then the woman that came to him you know she had great faith she went for her daughter i mean and both of those were outside of the tribe of israel outside of his family his nation his people see faith crosses all boundaries but so does unbelief it's sad to say see so which one do you want to receive see which one you want to live in now you know i've been criticized for faith i mean they say well he he just preaches that faith stuff well that's better than the doubt stuff the sick stuff i prefer to preach the answer than the problem right i think that's what jesus wants us to preach because the bible talks about when he returns to the earth shall he find faith faith is what's going to get us up out of the out of this planet and into heaven that's right but faith is basically belief in what jesus has said it's not a big uh it's true belief in the word of god but that's an amazing statement when he said shall he find faith on the earth you mean that in unbelief has infected it so much that he can't find it well it was it was rare when he came the first time amen that's right we're believing that it's going to be more it will be strong you know they called him the second adam but sad to say the church world and the secular will seem to like the first item more than the second adam i mean there was fighting going on in the church in jesus day and it's fighting going on in the church today and i don't mean not to be critical of the church but being uh uh you know but but but truthful but yet the bible said the gates of hell are not prevail against the church it may prevail against a person but it won't prevail against the church because the church is people yeah you see and the only way that that unbelief gets a hand over you or gets over you is when you receive that inside your innermost being i remember you talking about how when your mother when you was as a teenager is trying to get you to go to the church and you didn't want anything to do with it and you said i remember you told me later that you had said to her mom i don't want to go to that church i got too many hypocrites in that church yeah you know what she said what you got to be smaller than a hypocrite to hide behind one mama always had them saying i thought i felt like forrest gump you know mama you never know you never know what i would eat life's like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get but mama would always come up with something blow it away remember when i was talking to uncle ray uncle raymond he's in heaven today and he was telling me why don't you just accept jesus and i said i have my own philosophy boy he nailed me to the wall with that in colossians 2 i think it's verse 8 beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy i thought oh god that just blew that socks out you know i mean every time i would try because you see their faith was stronger than my unbelief i really thought my unbelief had a qualified answer you know and i thought everybody would say okay but my god their faith had more qualification in it and it ministered to me at the time that they said that so that's what i'm talking about today unbelief versus faith you see you got a choice right you might as well choose the good stuff you know sickness or healing you have a choice by stripes you will heal you want the problem do you want the answer watch this you do you want a divorce or do you want to be married all your life everything has choices to it you know what i'm trying to say choice when we go to the we go to the uh the restaurant now i guess we're getting you know i kind of laugh at this we're kind of getting older now because we start to split things before we would eat like two little horses i mean speak for yourself no you did you ate like a horse man we'd go to a place called houston's and she'd eat a whole rack of ribs a whole big salad a whole baked potato and then want some uh dessert we can't do that today at all we ordered and we full by splitting it in half i don't know what it is you know what i'm saying but you know what and sometimes kathy would get mad at me because you know she said you always order the same thing don't do that to your face yeah but that's how you did it you say i'm just i'm just copying her i always out of the same thing i said will you ever notice every time i've ordered always got a good meal she wanted to try new things and she would try something she'd go oh i don't like this and i said what you ordered you said can i have yours no you can't have well i have to because i heard the same thing you have to admit some some of the things that you're ordering now were those new things that i ordered that you discovered and i will say well i can't think of it right now that's what i thought i knew she couldn't think it's like they don't exist no you see because i eat the same thing all the time when i go to p.f chains what i eat the same thing when i go to the cheesecake factory what are they that's boring who wants to do that come on let's start when i go to the cheesecake factory what do we eat the same thing that's it when i go to mr bees what do i eat the same thing now what do you eat i like trying new things a lot of the times it's a good dish like remember why do you want to eat the same things i don't yes you do not always y'all need to pray for my wife she has unbelief in her when it comes to eating she wants to try something new that's good she'll just try it and you know it sounds good but then when it gets to the when it gets to the table sometimes oh lord i mean cathy says i think i'll have some fish you ever had been in a restaurant and people they brought the fish and it smelled so bad that you couldn't hardly eat your food you went jesus when did they when they catch that fish 1876 [Laughter] yet people go are you hungry no i'm not hungry but i'm just using that as an example you have a choice so then when you find something good stick with it that's right pick and stick and if things aren't going i found you i found something good so i pick and stick praise god you see what i'm saying they could there do no mighty work so that's telling me that he wanted to do mighty works he wanted to bless them he said y'all know me and yet you can't get to people that are offended you know i've said this before in boardroom chats i'll say i said again what's the difference between being offended and being hurt if you've never heard it it warrants saying it again see when you get hurt you look for someone to heal you you're like a child mama kiss it make it feel better and it just does for some reason it does now when you get offended you look for somebody to hurt the church mafia kicks in we're gonna make you an offer you don't refuse in other words you know we don't like him we want to hurt you saying offense is the mother of all believe so what jesus was saying was unbelievable i came here yeah i believe i i i came here to be a blessing to you so you know what he had to leave yeah he left the blessing that he had for them he went to others he went to different villages and he taught the people now how many blessings you should have received went to others because of the depth of unbelief how many monetary problems you've had when god came to bless you in the city bless you in the field bless you going in bless you going out but you wouldn't believe in prosperity you wouldn't believe in this and yet you needed exactly what they were preaching talk about greed i'm talking about i mean i heard a young man told me this the other day that when he goes to the church service they say if you're not hurting if you don't feel bad if you're not condemned it's not a good message when you leave the services who want to go to a place like that and that prosperity man that's of the devil and then they write a letter would you please be generous to us uh-huh wait a minute wait a minute their depth of unbelief and stupidity is beyond human rights it really is but think it so how many blessings went to another individual because you would not receive how many times jesus said that to jerusalem oh jerusalem jerusalem i'm trying to help you here but you would not receive see i want to talk about that today unbelievable you have a choice so choose it choose the faith of god right and watch god just do these wonderful things abraham chose and because he chose to trust god i mean israel was birthed through him abraham isaac and jacob but do you know what it should not have been jacob it should have been abraham isaac and esau because he was the firstborn but he chose the unbelief yeah instead of choosing the faith what have you chose today to believe by faith i choose to believe the word of god no matter what i hear on the news i hear i hear the promise of god stronger in my heart than i hear the attack of the enemy or the doubt that it tries to invade my thinking what are you trying to believe today what i'm believing for is i'm going to tell you truth i have so many projects going on god made me say something i was at the southwest believers convention a few weeks back and i've never said that before in my entire life and we were talking you know because when god tells me to do something the first thing i do because i'm a businessman also or how much is that going to cost because the bible says count the tower count the cost before you build the tower right so i thought i started thinking about well how much money it's going to take to do this project and and different things and the law i said this while i was preaching you don't need no money you just need a project remember me saying i went i kind of started myself that was faith talking in other words god said if you get a project i'll get you the money right see god don't just just throw money on the ground and just look at it he's always stretching us yes he's and i thought yes that's so true i believe the unbelievable i received the impossible because it's doable i've said it before a lot of people say my god man i mean what are you believing for well it takes so much finance to operate and function a ministry right now doing this boardroom uh we spent a million dollars to build to build studios see a little over a million actually no i think about a million dollars to build studio c all the different things it took and years ago we couldn't we man we didn't even have faith to believe for that but we kept uh faith come by hearing and hearing and hearing staying on the word of god and believing god's word and today you would think man i've got the best cameras money can buy i mean i do i mean my cameras that that i shoot when i do broadcast elevator i can shoot the super bowl with them that's a fact ladies and gentlemen i mean i mean the lenses and everything i mean in a 75 000 seat all the time i can suck you from across that thing and put you this close i have all that stuff and you would think my god why do you need that because i'm shooting uh through satellites 26 miles up in the air so you got to have what i call great resolution is that right guys people behind the camera they don't wanna they know more about that than i do but but when you understand i think wow look but then you know what right now i got a 20 million dollar project i got a five million dollar project i have a 75 million dollar project i have a 200 million dollar project i got a 6 billion dollar project and i'm thinking it's unbelievable it's impossible but ah it's doable because i didn't choose the unbelief part of it yes i chose the faith part of it you see and god uses wonderful partners like who will help us every month so graciously i'm a constantly giving right i had someone tell me this not long ago why would you give that money man don't give that kind of money away my lord man you uh because you believe in god for that but the only way to know that no to do to do big projects i have to sow big seeds why so i can have that kind of harvest level to do those things that's right you see what i'm saying it's good now you just listen to me you know you don't have anything no i have great things to say but i don't want to say something i'm just listening you mean you submit to my authority i knew i knew that would get that idea well i knew that would bring a rise into it we're chatting i was going to read a testimony for you yeah you got to be quick on the edge where you ought to be you are thank you this one you are yeah this is from anne she says happy friday from sydney because you know it's always always in a false yeah in australia they're ahead of us it says glory be to god who brings a word to us through pastors jesse and kathy what a wonderful work you do that you revive weary souls and fill us with faith hope and joy i just get so revved up and spring out from bed every week with this ever since i've been connected to you this way and as a partner since last year i have seen miracles in my life oh glory all glory to god thank you to pastor what's your name and it's telling you this not jesse i'm telling you i told you the anointing of increases on my life you're not a part of this mention prayer bible i'm telling you it's on me and it will come on you we got people saying that now let me tell you something she lives in sydney australia i have offices in maruchador queensland and you know what i mean man australia got locked down my god i need to go back over there and preach i want to do another tour i did such a phenomenal tour the last time i was there i went all the way to perth i loved it we covered the whole company we preached for margaret court and barry yes wonderful people i love i love i call him pastor barry he went oh my god i just got elevated you know that promoted oh promoted yeah i love the australian people so be praying that the they will loosen the restrictions and we can go over there get to meet you in person and maybe what's her name get to meet ann in person it would be a blessing of the lord hallelujah maybe we could do a boardroom chat there that would be nice right there in in in the great city of australia look at all that behind the camera maybe he'll bring us [Laughter] queensland yes and i've preached in every what they call it uh prophet state prophetess territory territories in the australian continent and in new zealand i need to go back to new zealand too oh such wonderful people what a blessing we've met so many people wonderful people in a lot of nations that got us called including canada and this one is from mabel's his blessings from edmonton alberta canada i've been waiting every thursday for your boardroom chat and not a blessing and re-watching it again you are so real not just as husband and wife but also as a follower of christ you give joy and inspire me i re-listen to brother jesse's teaching of why is it my giving working i got his book i never learned to doubt please pray for my financial breakthrough but that's a pretty big compliment she gave us so let's say mabel mabel father in the name of jesus we set ourselves in agreement that mabel's going to be blessed in the city in the field going in and going out lord she's got that book i never learned to doubt so that will never be a part of her ever again thank you she understands all of a sudden why is it my giving working lord bless them beyond human reasoning and lord i thank you for it because you said the two of us agree with cathy's holding my hand kathy's one on two mabel's three and faith destroys all this between us and mabel in jesus name we pray and everyone else wants to accept the faith that we're praying right now in jesus name yes i want to say something to you and i've said it so many times it's such a blessing and i believe it's really a it's a very sweet revelation you know how come people always struggle with money you know well that's people that need so much i've said it so many times because they don't know what they want kathy they know what they need or you can tell you can have what do you need we need clothes for the kids we need tuition for college but they don't know what they want right and you know david found out what he wanted and got it in psalms 23 verse 1 the law is my shepherd i shall not want see so when you understand what did he choose he chose the faith side instead of the unbelief side that's good so i'm going to say this every time jesus comes to new orleans louisiana every time you preach at covenant church every time i do a boardroom chat faith the facts or i'm preaching somewhere he comes to do a mighty work and you know what we do we get out the way yeah and we let him do it that's so cool our visionary conference was just so phenomenal it was people i'm telling you i thought man people said what are you going to do man there are other buildings big if i have to rent the superdome i'll do it you know whatever i don't care it doesn't make any difference but you see we want him to do that but yet i've been in places where they squash what god wants to do i have experienced the exact same thing jesus did when he went to nazareth yeah i could not do nobody work god what do you mean who do you think you are he said go do the work that i do and greater works than these shall you do because i go to my father i say john 14 verse 12. he said whatsoever you shall ask in my name that will i do that the father may be glorified in the son and then he said if you ask anything in my name i will do but you know what and i accept that that's in red and i go out that with that fervor and that passion that i have because i love the lord to do his work they say uh we don't do those things here just turn it over to us i remember when you went to a church early in our ministry i was at home with my our daughter jody i had a little daycare business and you went off i think somewhere in south louisiana and you were supposed to be going for four days you left that day and instead of staying going four days you came back that night and i was so shocked the fact it was early in the night because i think you preached that sunday morning you stopped me and they and you i said what are you doing home what happened and tell them what happened what happened was i was preaching god the church loved it but there was one the biggest tithe prayer didn't like it and she told the pastor we shutting this revival down that was sunday morning she i didn't finish my service on sunday morning yeah shut it down so i said i i i will submit to authority not her authority no no you know she needed a good she needed well she needed something but let me just say that we're not gonna go there but i know i'm not gonna go there but i looked at that pastor and i said you won't have a church because she should i said because god's not in control here right and it wasn't six months that church closed his doors not because what they did me because you see uh their depth her depth of unbelief they made a choice not to believe the word of god the same way the people of jesus's hometown made a choice to not believe what he was saying and you know what the sad thing is that you know so often all of us are in this situation we'll see someone come up to the platform that you know god has positioned there he is their mouthpiece for that moment to to teach us to train us and sometimes when they walk up we're distracted that might be how they look how they sound their accent or their personality and we don't receive everything that god really wants for us but i think what god is showing us today how important it is for us to to tune into what the spirit is saying and not look in the natural but connect spirit to spirit because god is there to teach and to train us and if we receive his voice to hear his voice and believe it remember you took your shoes off and walked out in the cold you gave that your shoes to that girl in australia yeah yeah telling people about that because you see i mean you know kathy it's cold it was the winter time there in australia i wasn't cold though and i'm usually very cold usually very cool so the lord put the warmth on the foot you know and all that kind of stuff i was filled with we had finished preaching and uh we came back in into the i guess your speaking room they had some finger foods and things it was just nibbling and the pastor's daughter complimented me on my shoes and before service i had the little inkling in my heart maybe i feel like i'd like to give her my shoes but i thought well maybe i didn't know what the size she wore i don't know if she even would want them sometimes people just compliment what you like but that doesn't mean they want them right and so especially used yeah yeah shoes and so i after the service she mentioned it again because i had said during the service to my heart well maybe if i missed you lord let her tell me that again if she says that again i think that's what you said you told me i in my heart yeah i prayed that and so after service when she came to me in the back room we were chatting they had finger foods before we left she complimented him on my shoes again so i took him off my feet right then and gave him to her and i didn't know at the time in fact we ran this on a past issue of our magazine her testimony she wrote it was a beautiful young woman there in australia and she um wrote how that was actually on her vision board she had a vision for shoes i had to own a pair of louis vuitton shoes that i'd had maybe like five years they weren't new shoes and i hadn't worn them a whole lot but they were really nice but anyway and that's the that's the will of god for my life i gotta agree with you anyway because i'm sewing them and i can't tell you how many pairs of shoes and purses and things i've given away but distribution i bought every one of them i can tell you exactly but go ahead not everyone some i bought for myself or other people given to me anyway but i know you love to say that and i do appreciate you thank you i appreciate that but i remember playing taking them off my feet putting them on her giving them to her she put them on and she was just ecstatic that smile was so precious and i remember thinking i'm just going to walk through the car in my shoes i had bare feet and that was okay anyway and it was yeah and i was kind of concerned about that really cold there in australia because i know she gripes when she's cold kathy gripe was she cold you don't like to be cold don't cry oh lord the depth of your life is my face that he interprets kind of like people that have signs everybody knows that i've been with she gets cold she take off man she hates it with the passion lord jesus but i wasn't if she i told her she went to hell she'd go i had a little cozy i had a warmth in my heart because i had obeyed god and i knew that i had heard from him and it it was a blessing in her life and he blessed me and that was such a beautiful thing and i could do a mighty work right there in australia because i listened to god yeah and her life was impacted because it was a fulfillment of a plan and a dream that she had had in her own life and it brought reinforcements to our heart that she can continue to believe god for those other things that were on that list you know each of us encounter people throughout our lives and when we're when we obey god and walk out on what seems to be sometimes may be silly in your own mind shoes may seem silly to some people and that day it didn't seem like a real important thing at first but when i yielded to that it changed her life and i know that it made an impact on others that even read that testimony later in our magazine well i'll tell you this much you chose to you chose to take the faith side because you were thinking you know you know maybe she wouldn't if she says it again i'll do it you know what i mean and she wasn't trying to get some from kathy at all she just was in mind those shoes and whatever when and she got that happened to me years and years ago in time i went to a place called houston i was eating and i had a pair of beautiful uh gorgeous looking alligator boots on they were expensive too and um this man walked up to me and kevin is who it was kevin and not uh kevin uh martin no uh kevin martin that's right that's his last name kevin martin he's now in heaven today and uh he says man that's the prettiest pair of boots i've ever seen and i said thank you kevin and as i was walking out the lord said well give it to him i said well i don't know what size shoe he wears he said if i told you to give you the boots give him the boots don't you think i know kevin's size uh yeah he said take him off your feet and give it to him right then he was a poor muslim i'm in socks okay and i said kevin try these on he said well i don't know if they'll fit or not i said the lord says to give them to you it will be the right side and it fit in perfect he had the same shoe size as i have and you didn't know that no i didn't know that i mean they weren't checking his feet out in any way shaped before but it was just such a blessing of the lord people notice shoes we have a person here that works for the name christie she's a blood she got the littlest feet i mean they're just about this big you said christie that's what i said chrissy chrissy okay did i say that's what i thought i said i thought you put a t in there well i might have maybe chrissy christie or christmas it doesn't matter anyway she goes she likes to do her hair oh thank you she was telling me i just like the fella i thought it's great it's really great so she had her fingernails and toenails done and the people she goes they went oh look at the little baby feet it was it was so funny and well that's better than having feet like sasquatch you can't do anything about your feet no you can't glad to have them and she walks very well she gets across at least i think so she says stick to the word stick it away well you know my lord there's nothing wrong with that praise god well you know what cinderella said what's in a relationship well i have a sign in my closet that says one shoe can change your life anyways that's right yeah you gotta think of the bright side here so you when you reason why we're laughing and we have such a good time because we've chose the faith side instead of the unbelief side so god can do a mighty work in us and god can do a mighty work in you that's what that's all about you see what i'm saying he is here to do a mighty work in you i believe there's some people out there definitely if you you need some financial help you need to get it quick and he's there to do it but someone told you that prosperity message don't work and it's delaying your blessing you're not gonna be greedy won't you trust the god that trusts you right yeah there are some people that preach things that are not true you know you don't have to be saved to see that but i mean you think about jesus you think jesus was criticized because of that seamless robe you better know he was that was a very expensive robe and it was seamless i don't know you know you you know how to sew i mean how all that stuff well he was like he was the woman anointed him for his burial yeah and he said let her alone basically says shut up yeah that's right that's right that broke that alabaster box that's when judah said you know this should have been sold and given to the poor and the bible even tells us it wasn't because he cared for the poor but he stole from the bag yeah he wanted that money for you think about this that that robe was very very you could call it designer class because at his crucifixion they gambled for it well i know something about gamblers they gamble for something better than what they got right i never forget we were in las vegas i know remember that man i don't know if you remember that this just this was recent we went and preached at a church called uh uh david shearer and david vicki sheeran's is that because something life um so we were at the venetian hotel okay and uh so we were going up to our room and then to go up in the village they're so big you got to go to two or three elevators and all that kind of stuff anyway make a long story short we got in and when we opened opened up the door there was a man um but it stopped he was already in there and we were going up to a higher floor he was probably going up to a higher floor than we were anyway he looked at me and i could tell he was worried i didn't know this man from adam i've never seen him before my like when eleven he goes oh oh i just lost remember that he said i lost four thousand dollars because he was going up to see his wife he's going to he said and my wife is going to be mad there's a honey i know i should have quit and everything and i thought my god this man just got robbed and now your wife gonna beat your brains out for doing that kind of stuff i didn't know i just looked at him like and before i could have a chance to say anything to him the elevator door was open when he walked out and i thought my lord now what is he going to say well he chose to believe a side that he shouldn't yeah let me tell you something about gambling and or these if you look at these beautiful hotels who's winning look at the casinos who's winning you understand what i'm saying now there are some people that do win i guess you know i've never been a gambler i never have even when i was a sinner i worked too hard for my money i said i don't and you know what i've said this before but i said it when i was a sinner i don't live by chance then i added something to it after i got born again i live by faith choice yeah i live by choice and by faith you know i don't live by chance in other words my faith will produce a choice that will work it will win why because faith is a winner and unbelief is a loser true and that's what it's all about see so this is what happened this whole village lost out and a whole other village got blessed because they received and nazareth the city of nazareth should have should have been blessed you know if they would just honor god honor jesus what did god say if you honor me i will honor you in every area of your life i never forget there's a wonderful movie uh that i love to watch it's called chariots of you know [Music] yeah it's about the olympics of 1920 24 or something like that and this you used to play that on the piano down down down down again i don't think it has words but that man that man uh loved the lord and his conviction was was not to run on the sabbath and he wouldn't do it and actually it was amazing by standing for what he believed taking the faith side he put a wonderful testimony all over the world i think his name was eric's he was a scotsman from school it's a beautiful movie it's a great great movie chariots of light chariots are yeah it was one of the most i love that movie because he stood and became a missionary to china i think after and this man could run he said god made me fast he was giving god glory and watching in a sport arena in sports god made me fast so he was running for the lord i never forget many years ago one of the uh i'll keep his name private one of the uh uh heavyweight champions of the world i know quite a few boxes and things that i love boxing uh he came up to me and he said but jesse you think it's a sin for me to box i said no i don't think so at all i said i said i don't think the kind of man you are you're not trying to kill that man you it's a sport you just want to win you know and i said god gave you that gift let me tell you something to be a heavyweight champion or a lightweight champion or a middleweight champion or welterweight whatever you want to go whatever you got to know what you're doing see and and and and i said no it's your gift but you can let your light so shine in the midst of you again right and it was just such a blessing of the lord so he chose what god and he chose what god wanted for him and he he chose to give god a testimony in the midst of this great great royal and this just happened with the olympics that wonderful wrestler woman talking about how great america was and that she had won some money because she was an olympic champion and a wonderful lady she make you cry when you hear a talk yeah and she said and she won 37 000 or something and she said i want to give it to my mama because my mama always wanted a food truck yeah that blessed me when i think about that you know because she's a great cook and she could bring the food truck up i thought now that's a testimony given if you know a lot of things wrong with america but there's more right things with america than there's the wrong things because america was founded now that's going to make somebody mad but i don't care america was founded on judeo-christian ethic it just was i found in father you go read it you'll see it everywhere don't and you can try to blind your eyes to it but they chose to do what christianity called to do i didn't say they were perfect nobody is but jesus was because you know he chose the right thing what did jesus choose he chose to die so we wouldn't have to think about that so we would have eternity with god almighty now that's bliss to be with god almighty amen and that's choosing the faith side instead of the unbelief side you go through the bible you'll find wonderful people doing that the centurion uh that the gentleman that went to peter's hou peter went to his house and he said and he was baptized i mean the different types of people had got you look at paul the apostle who was once saw the bloodthirsty persecutor he chose to preach the gospel yeah chose to give his life yeah what about all the missionaries people that have died for the gospel right in our times and and in the 1800s and 1900s you know england i love england and i've preached that many many times they sent the gospel all over the world they sent it to america you know george whitefield crossed the ocean 14 times to preach the gospel right and i know that many of them when they stepped out and did what they knew god was telling them to do they met opposition the same way jesus did when he was in his hometown there were always i'm sure people around who rejected the message who wouldn't who would had uh doubt or they were offended at them for whatever reason maybe because of their uh religious training or their unbelief right but they kept going forward and pushing through to that you cannot give up you have to be true to what god is calling you to do and let the chips basically fall where they may as they say because we have to obey god rather than man in fact so often when the bible talks about in the new testament how they dragged the disciples of jesus before the magistrates and they told them that don't to stop preaching this even though they had seen they knew jesus rose they didn't want to hear it they were still offended but they said we we have to obey god rather than man what did they say those people say those men have been with jesus they took note of the fact that these uneducated men had been with jesus he transformed them from the inside out and they changed actually they turned the world upside down oh they certainly did and you know they weren't qualified to do so maybe you don't feel qualified but you chose the faith side so do what you have to do and watch god bless you beyond your wildest dreams so you know every day all of us have an opportunity to choose to to believe the word of god or be offended so often the things that we hear our natural mind wants to reject it because we've been all a lot of us have been uh religiously brainwashed instead of new testament taught right but if we take you know a lot of people times when i hear people say something i think to myself you know i don't think they ever read the bible do they regularly read the bible because if you read the bible you're not going to say some some of the things that i hear people say the word of god is filled with wonderful truths jesus taught so many great things if we take the time systematically every day read those chapters read the word of god take the time to pray and stay with it and let the spirit of god speak to you you're going to grow you're going to understand some things you're going to know what to do when that difficult situation arises well i'll give you a prime example this just happened uh or the testimony we got it last year we have a a a meeting that we do call a visionary conference it's every july and it used to be in april but we had to change it because couldn't get hotels because of all the festivals and things of that nature and because it's cooler new orleans in april but we got air conditioned in july so we'll just do it that way but last year not this year last year and i think that would be in 2020 2022 we had it and i the lord i was flowing in the gifts of the spirit and i walked to the back and i said god is going to make a millionaire out of this person for some people a person in this section and god's going to make a millionaire out of a person in this section because everybody shouted okay that was a year ago 2021 we just had it in july uh of 2021 anyway we were sitting and all of a sudden i walked uh this man walked up to me oh i was walking around he said brother jesse you remember when you said uh now this is him talking remember when you said that god would uh make someone a millionaire in that section i said i remember that he said well that was me but he didn't make me a millionaire and i was about ready to say that he said he made me a multi-millionaire i went whoa a multi-millionaire and then another person comes on this is in july this year so you know when you pointed to that section i was in that section but he didn't make me a millionaire neither he made me a multi-millionaire in one year tom two people who i did not know became multi-millionaires wow that's what they said why did why did they do it why did god do it they chose to believe what god said through me by faith instead of saying no that's impossible that can't happen who do you think you are that guy is just saying that to make people come to these meetings and things no i said it because the holy actually i didn't say it god said it i just repeated it that's what i'm talking about you see what i'm saying and i'm going to tell you something god wants to fill your coffers with the blessings if you just let him but you have got to get to this side you got to cross the river jordan you got to cross the sea of galilee you got to cross the pacific ocean i'm going to call it what you want but and if you don't have a boat start walking by the lord and choose to walk by faith and not by sight and you'll walk the water and god will honor you every time not some of the time right you know i have a long testimony but i'd love to be able to read it this is not in the ones they gave me today but i read this this morning and it's going to be a future magazine not the whole thing [Laughter] but uh this is one that came to us from florida and it says i attended jesse's trip to heaven meeting on five on may the 21st this 2021. well no no you have to wait i gave the testimony of everything testimony that was recorded here at our headquarters i think we're going to air it on the broadcast in november if you haven't seen it you be sure and watch for that and it's already on social media i think it's had over 500 000 views just on youtube so i mean it it has blessed people all over the world right and in fact i think there was a little guy that uh that we met recently the believers convention that shared it on his tick tock page he has he said it had a million views from his tick tock thing he watched it and made comments gabe perdue or whatever yeah wonderful young man i got to meet him it was a blessing go ahead anyway it says uh this says i attended jesse's trip heaven to heaven meeting on 5 21. last time i heard jesse talk about this was 33 years ago and he didn't miss a word it was absolutely identical to his first meeting about this meaning the first time he heard you share it okay says i am very precise about times dates and history we are tithers and my wife and i pray malachi 3 10 through 12 every day the phrase proving out now herewith has stuck with me in memory for the longest time and i said to god prove yourself that you will open the windows of heaven and pour me out a blessing that i may not have room enough to receive it i said it a second time with more conviction that evening on may the 26th i had five contracts come in at exactly 807 33 pm my phone went off like a pinball machine several minutes for several minutes i received 5 million dollar contracts and one of which had i had been pursuing for more than two years the next morning i was giving a testimony to my wife and i used the word loose and before i could finish saying the word two more contacts came in in the morning and another one came in in the afternoon this in value equals three years of my work coming in within 24 hours to god i give all the glory to jesus all my love and all my prayers through the holy spirit god is good words cannot express the gratitude i have for jesse teaching us the four types of giving when i was at a point of bankruptcy and now i am a wallowing he says in blessings thank you jesse for your prayer partners who i've called many times that means our our partner care staff right and for jdm for all that you do to transform my life what's the name of this person uh they didn't give their name it's from florida thank you jesse and cathy for your prayer partners who have called many times and jdm for all that you do to transform my life into one that is obedient to the lord and his word ladies and gentlemen i'm telling you i i know people think i'm just trying to say that to get money from you i'm trying to get money to you the anointing of increases on my life it is on me i can't but i i you know how do you how do you receive those things and i don't like this part it's by sowing seeds see the bible said long does the earth remain seedtime harvest time and listen i do the same thing myself now and i do very well financially god has been very gracious to me you know what i'm saying i'm gracious until god be the glory but i told the lord i said lord why is this anointing of increase on me he said because i can trust you now i live good you know and all this kind of stuff but i'm not a greedy man i mean i'm just constantly being being blessed and being a blessing right you know and i mean by the time you see this this last week i gave 75 000 away what yeah i had it but the lord said would you do that for me i said i'll do it in a second i would people say well boy that kind of crazy oh ain't no telling what's going to happen i'm telling you because you see i choose the faith side now don't do something crazy because i did it you know people said well if jesse did it i'm going to do you don't do this because jesse did this or catholic you do this because the spirit of god quickens you to do that so if you want to be a part of this mission then do that if you don't don't but don't stop watching it's not uh uh uh but what's the word i want to use uh you the well mandatory the mandatory that you got to give if you want to watch conditional yeah no but i want to tell you something we have so many uh testimonies like that that are coming in that they have learned from the principles and i believe this teacher why is it my giving i preached it on the broadcast recently it's not this week from singapore to south africa right because it works it's scripturally based and it works it's not trying to get something from you it's trying to get something to you and it'll just work we're out of time here right now but what i'm saying is i thank you for for that person saying that and i think if you go all the way down to the end of that testimony i bet you got that person's name well i don't have it on my line on your ipad because they gave it to you that they didn't get sometimes get their names they don't give all the information we don't always share the names just to keep their yeah you have to keep people's uh personal information private so think about that so pray about it and let me leave with this choose the faith side let jesus marvel at the depth of your faith instead of the depth of your uncle because he wants to do some more wonderful marvelous things in your life spiritually physically and financially today he wants you out of the hospital beds yes he wants your home with your children amen he want if you're an elderly person you want your children to be able to go visit you if you're
