Boardroom Chat: God Wishes Above All Things That… | Jesse & Cathy Duplantis

hello ladies and gentlemen i'm jessica glance thank you for tuning in to our boardroom chats how you doing guys i'm doing great looking forward to another great boardroom chat with you well you're looking good girl that's because it's cool outside it's called fall we're ready for fall oh yeah we got some cool weather in south louisiana let me tell you something if it's cool here it's a miracle of god because it's usually africa hot man not all the time and it's so wonderful god you just you want to just go outside just play around do something you know it's so nice we don't have it very often and we don't really have really bad winters neither but i mean it is wonderful when we get that first little brisk uh of northern air what a blessing of the lord it is you know last week we were dealing with a hundredfold and i really loved the hundredfold and people would understand god's biblical economics if they'd understand the wonderful instead of fight it instead of fight it and a lot of time the church fights it and it's in red and and you know you need a good theologian to help you misunderstand this thing yeah when you say it that means it's the words of jesus jesus talked about the hundred fold and i am a textualist i disagree with what jesus says it's pretty simple i mean it's not that hard ladies and gentlemen and you wouldn't have any problem spiritually physically or financially now i do notice that a lot of christian people have trouble financially and the reason for that it's not it's really not your fault it is the churches preach poverty as a blessing and poverty is a curse it's one of the worst things in the world i mean think of i think of some of the poorest countries in the world today where i believe in our hemisphere haiti i believe in the caribbean is is the poorest one it's terrible i mean nobody i mean you just it's africa different places and even in america even rich guns have a lot of poor people but you know what jesus said when there's no more poor among you that was in the book of deuteronomy what a blessing i think that's deuteronomy 15 verse 4. now i know he said in the new testament that the poor you have which are always because you see what happened is people have been indoctrine and doctrine and doctrine how you say that we're indoctrinated yes that's it god hallelujah with poverty when you should be indoctrinated with prosperity so you can be blessed in the city blessed in the field blessed going in and blessed going out and don't think about just money because you have to have the whole package so once you have the whole package you'll understand things now one thing i know about god he is no respecter person that's not right but he is a respecter of faith that's right it's according to your faith so be it but austin on this bible and let you know how many verses are in this bible i want to have any ver in the new testament there's three thousand two hundred and fourteen verses i excuse me that's in the old testament in the new testament is seven thousand nine hundred fifty nine verses and the apocalypse these are books that were uh added uh way back when they took them out is 6081 verses so there's a lot of verses and do you know catholic god has a favorite verse really did you know that i think i did i think you did too you told me that once i did praise the lord i'm glad she's listening praise god i want to go to third john 2. it's only one chapter i want to start with verse 1. now you got to understand something about scripture john is pinning this letter to his good friend gaius in john's mind he's talking to guests in god's mind he's talking to you he's talking to me because the word of god is for us and you too okay praise the lord hallelujah look what he says in third john verse 1 the elder to the well beloved gay is whom i love in the truth beloved now this is god's favorite verse this is god talking to us now remember john's writing it he's talking to gays in his mind but god's talking to us because he makes it holy county beloved i wish above all things i wish above all things i mean how many things is all there's a lot of all in that beloved i wish about all things that you prosper right and that you be in health even as your soul prospers yeah and my little in my bible translation has a little b there and look at the bottom it says instead of i wish it really meant i pray i pray it's a heartfelt prayer yeah i mean it's god saying don't you want to do the best you can for your children you want to be the blessing not the blessing of blessings to your kids you wish above everything that they'd be blessed and healthy i mean how many times you've heard of a lady a woman may be pregnant and said what do you what do you believe for well i'm believing for a healthy child and then they'll tell you about the the sex of it but they say i want a healthy baby this is what god said beloved i wish this is god talking to you see i wish above all things so how could anybody in their right mind say the prosperity is of the devil yeah i don't think i don't i don't get it i don't think john who was called the john the beloved who was so close to jesus part of that the twelve but also for the those that special three that was close to him right i don't think he would say something that was not in god's plan and god would make it holy canon exactly this is god's another way he takes john's words and makes it his words that's why god is talking to us you see what i'm saying beloved i wish above all things that you prosper my god man and be in health even as you sow prosperity so you see if you had a let's get the money part of it if you had a lot of money but you were sick as a junkyard dog you can't go nowhere you can't do nothing now i said suppose your health is an oxy i mean you just look like every you got this body of bodies but you don't have no money you can't go anywhere in other words both of them have to come together for you to be blessed in the city blessed in the field blessed going in and blessed going out should be healthy since it should be blessed both ways but you see some people have it one way some people have another i never i never forget when mr walmart uh uh what was the the man that uh that started walmart mr walmart i called him mr walmart no walton was it last name sam walsh sam walton that's what it was sam what was very very rich man but he had cancer he passed away now all the money in the world couldn't stop that cancer yet i knew a god that could now i don't know this man i don't heard he was a very very fine man and everything but i wonder how many people said just accept it and how many choices but you never know what god because god teaches you something what does he teach it now that makes no sense god don't if you had the power to put cancer on your child would you do it so they know what it felt like that's absurd ladies and gentlemen but yet the church will sometimes says that maybe not those words but they try to implement that kind of stuff god says i wish this is god almighty i wish above all things that i prosper and be in health even as your soul process but i want you to notice something i want to go back to verse one the elder unto the well beloved gayest whom i love in the truth remember the word truth beloved i wish above all things that thou prosper and be in health even as thy soul prophet for i rejoice greatly when thy brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee even as thou walkest in the truth i have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth what truth what truth beloved i wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as you're so proud that's what he's talking about that's the truth if you want to go to second john you can read verse 4. of 2nd john he says i rejoice greatly that i found of thy children walking in truth as we have received the commandment from the father what truth what truth what truth are you walking in beloved i wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prosper let's go to first john you go to first john and you look at the last chapter in the book of first john i'll be that's chapter 5 and you look at verse 14 and this is the confidence that we have in him that if we ask anything according to his will what is his will what is his will you gotta know what god's will genesis chapter one genesis chapter two the last two chapters in the book of revelation that's the will of god for man and no sickness ain't no disease and no poverty none of that right watch this that's his will he hears us watch this verse 15 is where i want to get to and if we know that he hears it whatsoever we ask we know that we have the the petitions that we desire of him see now that's another truth oh i need to read that in the amplified okay read it now verse 15 says and if since we positively know that he listens to us in whatever we ask we also know with settled and absolute knowledge that we have granted as our present possessions the requests made of him now that's the truth that's the truth that's what that's what john is talking about i rejoice great when i find that my children walk in the truth what truth this truth that you you're blessed my god above all your body plus you're able to be a blessing to others because you're strong you're fit you're able healthy wise and you also fit wallet-wise if you want to call it so you can be a blessing when someone needs blessing now notice the word let's go back to 3rd john 2. he said beloved i wish above all i want to deal with all is an all-consuming word see when you have all the ain't no more see well you got it all now i mean that's not good english but it makes a good sense when you have it all animals you just remind me of esau and jacob yes or j esau i think says i have enough right no jacob says i have all that's a vast difference and have all now god is not enough he's more than more than enough actually too much the god of the too much my lord i mean it's just amazing so when you understand these things you see then you begin to look at the bible and look at your christian life in a total different perspective right and then you begin to expect what god expects instead of expecting what the world thinks you should have or their opinion of it see i made up my mind i'm going to believe what he says even though i may not be able to physically see it but see i don't physically see the wind but i breathe it that doesn't stop me from breathing well i am not going to breathe if i can't see the wind people say you see the wind ain't nobody ever seen the wind the wind's invisible you see the effects of the wind right and now that it's fall right a little easier because they'll pull those leaves yeah those leaves start coming off the trees and things of that nature and the fall colors that's a that's a beautiful thing i've flown over many times i'm going to preach up north and it's just beautiful a lot of time i said look at this i mean you know it's god's paintings you know how he does what i call his artistry all over the world so god's wish for you out of all these verses i told you a while ago all of them and let me say it again so you'll understand it i'm going to say it again right here in the old testament there's 23 214 verses in the new testament 7959 verses and the apocrypha that's like you know the other books that were added way back when they took out is 6081. so when you see that in essence that's all he said of all those verses when i moved upon john to write to his beloved friend guess i had him say beloved i wish i wish see i take that as god speaking just like you take for john 3 16 for god so loved the world just like you take the pauline epistles well you need every word of god that's in the bible it comes it's falling from his lips even though he moved upon men to write that now some of these men never knew each other i mean i mean i mean hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years between them but buddy they had one mind one accord and that was god's word speaking through that so what part of all you don't have now what you think about that because i want you to start believing god today for all all scripture is given by inspiration and it's profitable right all right all of it lock stock and barrel you can't add anything to it you can't take anything away there's some people say i want you we will send you a book it's another testament no there's no other testament it's just the new testament and that's the end don't add anything to it don't take anything away from it or you get the curses on this book and you don't you don't want none of that stuff see it i'm not being critical i'm just being truthful here see when you understand what god's word is saying so what part of all you don't have okay let me well i'm in debt well see you know see you don't have all your bills paid you said i'm saying well you know i i i i was healed of cancer but i got diabetes well you don't have all your body healed he says some people deal with percentages you ever heard of that well i mean are you 30 percent here they'll say can you do something well you got i don't believe in that junk who wants a 30 heal it good lord that just don't mean would you okay let's talk about money you want 30 of your check or do you want all of your check see all's a very important word to everyone in life spiritually physically and financially and god has said this is my favorite verse i say i wish above all things so it then things now people say that's spiritual no things this thing now faith is the subs of things hoped for the evidence of things and i said things this thing spiritual physical financial every area so what thing do you want now the church will say that's greed no that's the bible what thing do you want the lord is my shepherd i shall not want and he said i would once said i'll never get to the point of shall not or would not i shall not want now that's the power of the lord jesus christ saying that you can have these things church says you can't god says you can't because man's opinions get involved in all this kind of stuff when we ought to just read it verbatim you ever notice if you follow the recipe it comes out right but if you kind of do this and do that kathy gets mad at me sometimes when i got to put something together i always wind up with more parts than i need that's why the thing doesn't work because it was designed to put the parts in there so kathy is very mechanical and i'm not i mean cat can fix anything with a butter knife it's amazing man well i think he just says that so that he doesn't have to do that that is correct you just have to know where your gifting's live hallelujah i i believe it i believe in you mama i believe in you afraid she can fix anything so when you understand what god is saying well you know jesse i think that when john wrote this there must have been of that day people were already badmouthing god talking about he he's not going to you know you can give but don't expect to receive no god doesn't hear you all these things that negative at the end the devil started in the garden of eden right causing mankind to doubt god god wants us to know and believe and understand that he's a good god and he came to fulfill his covenant blessings well he asked in the garden he said half god said he knew what god said she knew what god said but did she believe all god said well they'll take things people will take things out of the bible even with the birth of jesus and say well you know you're supposed to be poor even jesus came as a humble poor and he was claimed that way but he the bible also teaches us that he was made poor so that we can become rich and rich in every faith fear of our life every realm of life i can say this i know some very rich people that are humble you wouldn't know they got a dime they're not trying to hide they're just normal people they just sweet people then i know some people got a little bit little upper middle class got their nose up there and think there's something you know what i'm saying i mean i i know some very wealthy people you understand what i'm saying that you would not know they had a dime they would eat anywhere do anything they just are wonderful people they happen to be good business people you see and their blessings going to be to be a blessing somewhere whatever it may be you'd never know it so when you understand that god wants you in every area of your life i wish above all things all things for example god like don't don't you feel good when you feel good how about the best way i can say that that's deep that's deep that's the deep call in the deep like they say think about that don't you feel good when you feel good the other day i had i had a procedure done uh cathy likes me to get this my last one ever hallelujah i won't give a testimony most people would never say this i went through a colonoscopy the other day and oh let me tell you that makes you sing moon river you remember all the words and to make a long story short the doctor that gave me a colonoscopy 10 or 11 years ago there was no polyps and not like he said well when you hit 70 we're going to do another one well the covert thing kicked in it couldn't go so i made 71 in the process so we went uh last week to make a long story short i uh it wasn't me he did the colonoscopy and all that kind of stuff and i'm gonna get to this point here watch this and he says well i found no polyps none whatsoever at all he said you'll never have another one i said bless the lord thank you jesus but what i liked he said now we're going to put you to sleep i said okay actually when i woke up i thought they hadn't even started yet it wasn't long was only about maybe 10 minutes 15 minutes something like that to make a long story short i told the nurse i said man i just feel like a million but i feel so rested she said everyone that we says that everyone they just knock you out i mean whatever that stuff they put you know they did a uh what they call it an iv or something and he said now you're going to start getting sleeping the next thing i heard was what all right but i felt so rested i mean when i say rested i mean i thought my god i said can i take some of this stuff homie they said no you can't do that you can't do that at all anyway he said so he said you never have to worry about that anymore anymore whatsoever at all and what a blessing of god that well jesse what i remember that when you came out and and you told me what you heard the nurse say right started the examination they said finally a healthy one that really blessed me because that's what we prayed for you know that yeah they went through a list have you had this no this they said man you're healthy i said well the lord been good to me why because i wish above all things that i'll prosper and you know what i paid them too and they were glad they get that you know they you pay for each procedure whatever they say that and all kinds of stuff but why is that but it was so wonderful to be able to both together the blessing and the health they said finally a healthy one i remember i said oh you know i guess you see a lot of people that are not healthy i don't know why is that when the bible said is there any sick among you want to do a boardroom chapel now is there any if there is then you call the elders of the church yeah and you pray the prayer of faith the bible said that they'll be healed it will happen if you believe it raise them up but you know most people say well we're going to pray but you never know how god is sometimes he does no he wants you to be sometimes he don't no that's that's a lie see what i'm saying they already i wouldn't let nobody like that pray for me i'd say look but keep your hands to yourself because you already doubt and unbeliever you're going home i remember i think it was marlon lefevre who was he had like a heart issue yeah and when people would pray for him you know before it was him he would pray lord if it be your will but when it was him when he needed healing he said don't pray that he wanted anybody that would pray god pray healing he didn't want to hear if it'd be thy will because you know what healing is always god's well you know it comes to hear people say we know god heals but will he heal me see that's there's doubt again they put that little doubt in it and it don't take much doubt doubts like pollution if you took three drops of heavy oil you i'm talking about oil and put it in a 55-gallon drum of water you pollute it three drops that's how that it just pollutes it see what i'm saying so that smallest amount of doubt will pollute faith and the smallest amount of faith will get rid of pollution so they work both ways see so i'd rather just believe this than what the world is saying people are so worried about with the world going nuts on us right now i mean we're in the middle of all kind of craziest thing people are mad do i look like i'm worried about anything i don't mean that pridefully or arrogantly no because this is what keeps my joy the joy of the lord is my strength that's right see that this here right here this scripture so when satan tries to uh shut my finances down i said well i'll just go sow some more seed and not just he said no people said well you can't sow seed in the middle of uh of of all this kind of stuff and everything's going i got one of my directors sitting over here and his name is george he's right over there and then and i decided to do something to one of my employees which happened to be on his staff and he said oh oh man do you know what's going on i remember what's going on that world has nothing to do with me my job with that world is to win it for the lord jesus christ that's it go in the world preach the gospel yeah but me but you you know we got the covert everything shut down you're not traveling hey he didn't ask me to pay for it he asked me to believe for it see i was already believing that before i ever said anything are you understand what i'm saying here that's not a critical thing to you george what i'm saying because that's common sense well you can't do that i mean my god everybody's laid off what do you mean i can't do that the bible said i can do all things either you lying or god's lying i pick you because god's not man that he can lie that's what i'm talking about beloved i wish above all things that they you prosper and be in health i love that that's god's favorite verse i've asked a lot of time when i have a staff meeting has anybody ever been worried about getting paid here none of them this ministry has been in operation full time 42 years and uh i've been preaching 46. yeah i said 46 years no 40. i've been saved 46 years i've been preaching 40 no i've been preaching 46 years but went in full-time ministry and been in 42 years never been late never on anything been debt-free since 1982 how can i do that i know what some people think well that man just got faith thank you i do have faith but what makes it possible is i just believe in the word all well actually too jesse it it ties into the second part of the verse which really says beloved i wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospers now your soul is your mind your will and your emotions and when that part is prospering we we're actually renewing our mind to what god's word has said and we line our will up with god's word so when our soul is our mind our will we make a decision to renew our mind we make a decision that oh yes you have to remember your will to align with god's word and it's going to prophesy and verse 3 emotionally too yeah john said i rejoice greatly when watch this when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee not on the not around the not just on sunday at church time the truth in the the the other day i was preaching and if y'all notice i begin to quote scripture and it begin to come out i don't know how much i quote a quarter card why because if it's not in you it can't come out here i'm not trying to show off anything but see this to me church is a school where you learn see you learn learn and jesus said this learned of me what the church well has done is learn they tried to teach religion religion is a garden of weeds it's the theological wilderness you get lost in there man but when you learn of christ a person a fellowship a relationship see see let me tell you something you think you know that girl when you're dating it but when you marry her and you ain't gonna know let me tell you something you're gonna learn something about her all we've been i've been married to this woman 50 years 50 years can you believe it 50 years and i loved her so much i gave her my name and she took the rest by herself what a blessing now watch this see what and you know what when i'm talking to her or when she's talking to me she wants all my attention that's right oh and she gets mad at me if i'm not looking at it she goes what are you looking at usually well i'm thinking about what you're saying yeah but look at me when saying oh okay okay that drives me nuts and i'm trying to think what she's saying here oh i got to just okay you know that kind of am i correct okay you know you're mad you just didn't let me interrupt you oh okay when i start talking you're not supposed to talk louder it's called conversation it's called 50 years of going over that's what it's called i'm just trying to say that when i i'm gonna one of my signals which i don't even realize many times is my eyebrow goes oh yeah be careful well that means that's sometimes i i don't have the eyebrow but i'll kick him under the table yeah can i say whatever and and so i and he says what what well there's a reason why i got bruises on my leg when you kicking me underneath the table you see in south louisiana some of y'all may think this is cussing probably in the world you think it's custom but not in south louisiana see we use the word hell a lot i don't you yes you you come out you lying devil okay see hell is a location it's a location location maybe so if you see kathy because i used to if you see kathy's eyebrow go up and go oh lord oh no no no no she'll go no no no no no no now now don't get mad at me now if that eyebrow hits that language sign language if that eyebrow hits that hand you hear this oh hell no it ain't happening baby i'll tell you i didn't you see i can't verbally say i gotta explain that sign language i gotta explain that that's not cussing here it might be cussing there if he didn't forgive me i make sound across but not here see then i know one thing ain't no used to argue with kathy about that now because she's like dracula she got that and she gonna eat your lunch you see what i'm saying and i'm just telling you the truth don't you rejoice greatly when i speak the truth guys go ahead scripture go ahead i want to read a testimony oh she's gonna read the testimony that she said they have a great subject from catherine by the way a catherine catherine with a k with a cake it says my daughter has said mom you gotta watch those these boardroom chats they are so open and personal it's open and they oh yeah especially today and they answer questions you probably won't hear in sermons well i'm listening and thank you you're a blessing and then there's so many can i read their philippines have been watching this oh praise the lord this one i loved especially because and i know every week we're picking up new viewers and it says hello cathy jesse and kathy this it's my first time watching the boardroom chat it's 4 30 a.m here in the philippines and they're watching and getting blessed another one from the philippines i saw earlier let me find that one where is it at okay lalaini greetings from car car city philippines i'm always grateful for your teachings they have been always of great help to me in my christian walk you are a blessing to many god bless you all the time so when you understand that god wants you to have all things now you see i know some of y'all just freaked out because they use the word hell i had a man tell me one time he said i don't believe in your god now why i said you would say i'm saying something wrong i said well go to hell not most people think what do you mean by that no no no it's a location you know what i'm saying i'm not trying to cuss i mean i don't have to try to cuss i learned the curse when i was a very small baby when mama would hold my eyes and my eyes out so i could try to see what grandfather would teach you to he would teach me to cuss and i don't do that now but i'm just saying back then see so i know how i want to forget how so i just what i just gave you because when you got born again you had to learn a new language i've learned the thing because cathy said they was a word i used before was a cuss word but you see we have something here we call culture see now i'm not making an excuse of it so when i get around when i go down the buyer to her mama's house or down to buy the cutoff and and uh but it's a golden meta and chauvin watch this one the isle of little john shaw oh lord now i'm really getting down there this is a real place it's cocodri montague i mean you're gonna hear you're gonna hear the word hell quite a bit and everything but they're not cussing they ain't saying any of that that's just that culture or so if you get someone down there an old cajun boy he's saying full of the holy ghost you say i'm gonna throw you something right now you better be jesus or you you know where you're going and they'll say i don't believe in jesus well you go to hell that's what they say they're not cussing you they're just telling you this is where you going well when kathy's high bro guess that huh you you mad you might die come on mama senior man tell the truth tell the truth tell the truth i rejoice greatly glory to god i plead the blood so when you understand what john is saying actually god is saying through john now he really loves gas gas is one fine guy but there's another guy in here he ain't too fine no he's not i mean i need to do a sermon on this his name is diatrophy that's what we're doing today oh a sermon a sermon yeah the other day i was talking i was preaching and everybody commented on it how many times somebody make you so mad and the only words you want to say are cuss words why don't we stay cause i gotta explain this and you know and one time i tried to reason with god i say god the reason why i want to use these words because this is these words i cannot express what i feel to this person unless i use these words he said oh no are a lot of more words and i remember my wonderful school teacher she taught me english one english two english three and english four her name was mrs ahmadi she just passed not too long ago she heard me cussing one time as a kid i wouldn't say she said you know jesse there are a lot of other words in the dictionary you could use but you know it's kind of hard when you're mad at somebody to say i'm angry with you you know it's just not expressive enough i'm not making excuse for but you should use that the bible says be angry and sin not think about that for a minute so when you understand what we're seeing it this is john said i rejoice great when i found out that we are walking this truth all these things that are in you christ in you the hope of glory they've been trying to kill john since he first started walking with jesus they boiled him in oil now oil balls i would think about 400 degrees and he was hotter than oil couldn't get him think about that ladies and gentlemen that's nice i've heard that's the last it's because he walked in love he walked in he was able to access the covenant of god oh yeah he understood if you read the john ean epistles he you unders he understood what it is to walk in love whatever it wasn't always that way they actually called him the sons of thunder oh right one time he's not called on [Laughter] so when you understand what god is saying here i want to get back to that point i said a while ago what part of all you don't have because you can have it today because this look i just told you the will of god i read it for you verbatim remember john and his mind's right in the gas but in god's mind he's writing to you and he says put your name in it beloved i wish this god beloved god wishes above all things or pray in all respects that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as your soul process so your mind your your mind your will and your emotions should prosper you shouldn't have depression discouragement despondency right yet how many times you went to church feeling good came out feeling bad you know why they didn't preach the word to you let me tell you something about conviction when you get convicted that doesn't make you feel bad it opens your eyes to the truth you go wait a minute i i'm not doing that no more now condemnation makes you feel bad you low down dirty dog you never mount anything you'll never do this and then you and bob said there's therefore now now i don't know what time now is but my watch is now he said there's therefore now no condemnation no content to them who what to them go read it you can you can you can uh finish out the verse i like no condemnation yeah so when i make up my when i preach the gospel i will preach words or the lord through me will preach words that may convict you but will never make you feel guilty it will open your mind to the truth you'll say i'm not going to do that no more i quit doing that i'm i'm not doing that no more all of a sudden then something that was real real hard to quit watch this and you becomes very easy when you're convicted instead of condemned is that good preaching it's great do you see that listen what i just told you is a revelation see i mean let's just i have one man said i got a problem with that marijuana and many just guilty guilt together because they preached him down into a hole but i said well you hadn't been convicted enough when he got convicted he saw the truth why do you need anything to make you feel good when christ in you the hope of glory is as good as you can ever feel the most high you want to get high the most high think about that see that's what i'm saying here that's what god is saying i wish him of all things yeah and jesse you know god that's good that prayer that that john said he knew god wanted him blessed it's because gaius was a giver yes he was verse five in the amplified you know you couldn't just say i want you to prosper if gaius had never been wonderful listen what he did in verse five and i'll read in the amplified it says beloved is a it is a fine and faithful work that you are doing when you give any service to the christian brethren especially when they are strangers they have testified before the church of your love and friendship you will do well to forward them on on their journey and you will please uh to to do so in a way worthy of god's service for these traveling missionaries have gone out for the name's sake for his sake and are accepting nothing from the gentiles the heathen and the non-israelites so we ourselves ought to support such people amen to welcome and provide for them in order that we may be fellow workers in the truth the whole gospel and cooperate with its teachers so this guy gaius was known he had a reputation for being a blessing to those ministers ministers that had come through the area and had blessed them maybe open their home to maybe fed them maybe he gave them and set them on on their journey catholic that's what our partners do us exactly you support this ministry every month it's because you love us you wouldn't be giving your money here if you didn't love us that's confidence that's why it's our prayer that we wish above all things that you're practicing i just have the same attitude as god same uh our partners have the same uh blessing amen they they're like a gayest anointing of increase that's on me comes on you see that's why you do what you do you do that and we don't take that money and burn it personally no 100 of what you give to this ministry because we're debt-free i've said this once i've probably said it thousands of times over the history of my ministry we're debt-free which means if you send me 20 a month the whole 20 goes to world evangelism why because everything he has paid for we haven't paid interest on anything just on the church just on the ch of these uh what they call it the campus no the church just the church we've saved over 20 million dollars in interest payments because we built it cash we paid it as we went that's unheard of so watch this we took that 20 million that we saved because you gave it and we put it into world evangelism so people say my god that jess in the planet is a giver i don't let people abuse me why because they're abusing the holy oracle of god so you don't do that when i say abuse me i'm talking about the christ in me so i don't let people abuse my partner's money i don't do stupid things i will not do that see i made up my mind you work very hard and you want somebody believing with you for the return i heard someone say that when you give your heart is open up but it's also opened up to receive see it's a two-way street see some people are on one-way street very similar to two-way they just want you to bless them all the time and whatever and and but they they're not the blessing i don't forget one time i'll tell you a story i was supporting a minis a missionary this is probably 38 40 years ago i guess something like that now back then a thousand dollars was oh way bigger than a thousand dollars just today i was giving him a thousand a month that's unheard of back this is this and it was a little struggle to do that well at one time i was in prayer and he had come to the states and the lord said ask him where he gives i said what the lord said ask him where he gives i just assumed because we knew he wasn't a partner with us no he wasn't important no i wasn't thinking about that i was just thinking but someday he's a missionary he's got this love like guess he just want to be a blessing you know we forget so i walked up to him and we were talking we actually went to lunch and i said you know i wanna i said i wanna ask you then i'm gonna do this other question i said where do you give that he said excuse me i said you you're a missionary yeah i said where do you give he said well i give my life oh no no no no so do i so does every christian that's given their life to god they give their life but but just i gave my i know that i saw i've given mine too but that didn't stop me from giving what do you give i found out he didn't give anything he just received he was the one which wasn't even a tither no so i looked at him and i said you know you have abused my seed i said you're a one-way street you're like the dead sea everything goes in nothing what makes the dead see the dead sea everything flows in and nothing flows out i had to redraw my support because the lord told me to he said don't give in to dead seas going in nothing coming out yeah but i don't have much it doesn't take much i mean look what look how god looked at the lady with the two mites now you know oh my god that is that's hardly another how could that help anything but in god's eyes she did her best she get she didn't give all she had like about she did it in the bible she gave all a heart because she wanted to be a blessing that's what i'm talking about you see gas was like that gay as you come to town hey you need anything hey i got a few dollars hey can you do it how many times before we were in ministry if we had a meeting at our church we took out the traveling ministries to dinner and you know we actually needed that money but that didn't make no difference we wanted to be a blessing we enjoyed being oh and we still do it's my favorite thing to do is give now when i say that people write say give me this give me that no that's that that's a greed thing going you know the difference between that and when true giving is so when you understand this is god saying hey i rejoice greatly that you walk in this truth i even had my uh tax attorney one time saying now you've given enough i said what he said well you can't take any more off your taxes i wasn't given this so i could take off my taxes i was giving it out of a heart of love and i believe some 30 some sick to some 104. actually i took the sum 30 out to some 60 says i had a choice and i started believing for the some 30. the 100 i want to be a part of that network of people some so i could be the blessing god wants me to be right see so i say again when when john is writing he's thinking to gay as guest you're such a great god but god has said not only is gay is a great guy john you're a great guy and i'm going to take your letter and i am going to make it my words if you really think about the new testament most of it is letters you know the pauline revelation right into the church of different things letters you see what i'm saying and when you understand that the gospels is like a biography of jesus you know and all the different things are going on so when you understand this this is that's why paul said i got to go on this missionary journey i got to go on this missionary journey and he rejoiced greatly he said the church of philippi the philippines the only one communicating with became part of it that's why we receive partners in our ministry and let me say what i'm talking about that thank you for partnering with this ministry thank you for helping us reach people change lives one soul at a time every day somebody is sending something into this ministry and we take all of it not some of it all of it and we put it into world evangelism because we don't have to pay no bills we don't we don't have notes and things of that nature and because we want the world to hear the good news about jesus and how they can live an overcoming victorious life you know every single day and you know we were reading about gaius but i know this short chapter this short book in the second half of it it talks about someone else and i don't want us to leave today without you addressing that because i know that right you started in on that a while ago and then we went a little sidetracked but before we leave today i want you to talk about that other person in their in third john that you were talking about he's a rough guy i want to tell a true story i had a guy used to work from i hope you're watching this joe his name was joe boza he was a mechanic at the aviation department of our plane phenomenal guy him and his wife deborah okay well we had a hurricane came in here and got flooded i think it was katrina i think about it uh and he lost all these tools yeah and then he lost all his tools okay okay all right so i then i i used to have another uh pilot that worked for work for me 14 years both these guys wonderful guys blessing of the lord okay well what happened was we had insurance to cover all that you see you know out there at the hangars and all that kind of stuff right so joe and correct me joe if you want to write me a okay i think joe had about well he had spent about five thousand dollars in tools what are called mechanical tools for planes that was stored there but that was the i was the old price that's not new prices okay i mean that's just you know you know a lot of these guys they trade this for that you know they'll work on something so they can get a tool and all that kind of stuff you know but that's that's his livelihood see well uh uh david deloaches was the pilot that he said he told me about that i said well we got insurance for that i said how much money does he need to replace his tools he said well he said uh about five thousand dollars of what he has in it but some of these tools you know he worked for and everything so i said fine so when i got here uh my uh my director of finance then was tammy moonihan a wonderful person i said we have the policy and all kind of stuff yes so she got deposited and looked and called the insurance company now correct me if i'm right joe i believe it it and and it was about 30 or 31 or 32 dollars or something like that see so she said you want me to cut him a check you know as it costs to replace the tools if they were all new you see but you know joe had worked with him many many years ago tool here too many many years so she said you want to give he would have been so satisfied to get the 5 000. now what i'm about to say is go shock you because i believe in all okay well that one money was for his was for mechanical tools so tammy says how much you want me right to check out for five thousand i said no give it all to her she said what'd you say i said cut him the whole check that was the money for the two the insurance company paid that yeah but but he only spent about five yeah but he might have bought one 20 years ago 25 years ago it would cost a lot more yeah i said give it all to so when he he said so david delos my pilot said you're going to give an altar i said lock stock and barrel that's what that that was the insurance money for the tools yeah but he only no no see they could not convince me to not give him all uh-uh i see i think like god i like all see well joe like they just fell out everybody like to fell out i never i just thought that was normal i said now that too today would cost man 20 times more you know back then than it did when you first bought it 20 years before that you know he's been a mechanic for a long time and and i'm not bragging on that but i thought about third john too i want him to prosper and be in hell right and when you do the right thing and do it right you know god bless because it is right yeah and god bless it you know the insurance company didn't even squawk at that because that's what they set it for and our policy was for replacement replay and i said he said but it just i and he told me joe was a rooker i can get some of these tools cheaper i said no you don't have to cut a deal here's the money go get the tools why because they're working on my plane i wanted to work i wanted the workforce now i'm not bragging on that see said a lot of things i do that a lot of people don't know they want to criticize me say because they think oh you know listen no you don't understand what i do and they used to tell you because you probably wouldn't believe how much i do do some people go to doo-doo but how much i do do you see what i'm saying so when you understand i do what the lord said i want to act like jesus act and he was no fool and he didn't let nobody take advantage of him neither see what i'm saying we don't do those things so that's what we want to talk about god's favorite verse so i want to get back to this what part of all you don't have some of these people got testimony that means they receive something whether it's spiritual physical or finance yeah debbie from uh reasonable blessings from from uk i am believing for 100 fold in every area of my life what's her name debbie debbie let's stretch for your hand lord i'm going to set myself an agreement with debbie in the uk everyone that's believing for that 100 for anybody's willing to believe all yes i receive with them right now and i don't even close my eyes i'm looking straight right now in jesus name and lord you said saint john 14 verses 14 if you ask anything in my name i ask this in the name of jesus christ have people's eyes open and ears open to what we spoke about today in this boardroom right and the reason why we put them in the boardroom because this is where we make decisions lord for your ministry so i wanted to make a decision on this that's why we do this here lord we decree and declare it today in jesus name we pray amen one more testimony from mariah maria let me see what m-a-r-a-y-n okay close enough close enough it says thank you jesse and kathy for sharing the living word i want to be just like the two of you to be debt-free and be a blessing in the kingdom of god that's what's so wonderful he was a blessing in the kingdom of god but i know you slipped off i just still want you to get to that other guy okay i'll get that i got in just a minute i just got a minute or two but yesterday we went to p.f chang's yesterday went to pf change to eat and oh no last night and to make a long story short they opened up four tables to open up this uh man's section all at one time well now he got a bunch of well he needed some help and he was a new guy oh lord when you get new guys you know you know but the oh there was an old god had waiting on it before he saw that he needed so he came to my table and we took care of everything and uh and i and i gave him a nice tip he goes ah man you don't ever forget do you i said no you worked hard you deserve that see what i'm saying not bragging on that why well they they kind of know me as a guest if you want to think but they go when i come in they go boy that man he's so kind why are they working some people they just try to get off as cheap as they can and that's just ridiculous usually my tip is more than my than the amount of the food not bragging on that why because those people work hard and especially if they've given you good service now gaius gave good service to the church now there's not a god did that pass by but diet he wanted preeminence he wanted this he he he even tried to put down john who wrote the thing who started the church did everything because he wanted it all to himself there's always that other side you see what i'm saying and if you read you know you ought to read the whole book of third john yeah in verse nine it says uh i wrote it i was reading it earlier uh so uh i have written briefly to the church but diophardies who likes to take the lead among them put himself first and does not acknowledge my authority and refuses to accept my suggestions or listen to me so when i arrive i love this one i will call attention to what he is doing he's boiling over and casting malicious reflections on us with insinuating language and not satisfied with that he refuses to receive and welcome the missionary brethren himself and also infers with and forbids those who would welcome them and tries to expel or excommunicate them from the church and that's that that's terrible so he there are a lot of people like that he wanted to they have that controlling spirit which is in the church beware of people that just want the preeminence or control you know like you know like kiss my hand i quit kissing rings a long time ago you understand what i said before i got born again and verse 11 goes on even let me just clarify that it says beloved do not imitate evil because god so god john is really calling it evil what this guy was doing he said but imitate good he who does good is of god he who does evil has not seen discerned or experienced god right has enjoyed no vision of him and does not know him okay let me tell you something i'm going to say this and it can make some people mad if someone criticizes me in catholic and we trying to get you to all don't listen to that that's a diet that's a diagraphies they think they know something about the word of god they don't but all they want is they want you to submit to their authority instead of the authority of god of the word of god and it's all about the word of god and i mean that sincerely i hope you enjoyed it today because see i wanted to show you god's favorite verse you know what and he had you in mind when he did that's right i wish above all thanks so much what part of all you don't have write it down we pray we believe we receive and somebody said oh that's stupid we don't believe that you listen to what i got to say hap i when i come and i may come to your area i'll take care of that i'll be honest with you god will take care of that through the preaching of the word of the lord jesus christ i don't hate the person i pray for them see i want people out of debt i want them out of poverty i want them out of sickness that's right i don't you know i love the medical crowd but man i tell you what a lot of hospitals are mausoleums of unbelief i mean my lord and it's terrible but then there's some phenomenal people that are working in the medical industry and i believe in that and i believe in doctors and nurses and everything and i mean that sincerely right so thank you for watching today and let me just say to all my partners who makes this all possible thank you for sowing seed thank you for blessing this ministry with your faithful financial support because we couldn't do it without you and share someone tell somebody else about the chat yeah and actually on our i want you to watch it subscribe the
