How The Whole Thing Works - Pastor Ron Carpenter

so i don't have a bumper i don't have a branding i don't have anything like that i just i'm going to come right down here where you are first time i've been down here thank you so much i appreciate that we've gone from pulpits to tables and notes to ipads and uh that's pretty good for a guy who 10 years ago couldn't cut a computer on and i was always scared of computer i scared he hit a button and the world was going to blow up or something i didn't i didn't know that much about them holy spirit ask you just that thing you did friday night god in houston that you told me is supposed to happen here today do it god do it we're not in a hurry we don't have multiple services yet there's not a group outside waiting to get in we're not going to be rushed we're going to take our time and we're going to receive this word that you're about to give so i ask that you give me the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of revelation and the knowledge of you and the knowledge of will will and i pray that everybody in this building that the eyes of their understanding be enlightened in the name of jesus we give you these next few moments and i pray that they be life-changing and precious we say that in jesus name and everybody said amen amen and amen tell you never say here we go neighbor here we go here we go i'm going to mark chapter four when we opened this new form of redemption here i didn't know i didn't know what to expect guys that lighting's pretty good i don't know what you did since last night that's not bad i thought it'd be a lot dimmer than that i didn't know what to expect that i just knew it was going to be different i knew it was not going to be a nostalgic re-gathering of an old thing but something that's birthed fresh and new and in that it has brought a lot of new people there are not just some familiar faces in this room there are a ton of unfamiliar faces in this room we grateful for that amen the most exciting part of the hospital is the baby award it's where the babies are being born it's where new life comes in so we know people getting saved and people that are visiting that makes things exciting and lively and we we're grateful for that i have sensed somewhat here may i be honest and vulnerable for a moment that i can just sense when there's something that's supposed to be happening that ain't happening yet sometimes i can't even define what that thing is i just know there's a missing piece i spent hours in prayer last night because i felt a convergence coming together something coming together that was finally going to make it click and then favor and multiplication and acceleration breaks out and that stuff happens that only god can do we can't do it because one seeds one waters but only god can give increase so increase is a godly thing it's not a man thing we can see we can water we can talk about it and we can serve and but if it's going to bring be if it's going to increase god has to do it and so there's some dynamics that are long-term dynamics to what's called everything called redemption and who me and hope are and it's a kingdom message and i know that probably half the people in this building were not a part of what we did here previously and so maybe you're not used to that stream you're not used to that thread you've got to understand i've had years and years and years of kingdom teaching those who have been with me for years can probably parrot it back to me but what i am finding out is that there's a whole generation that are biblically illiterate to the kingdom message i'm getting asked to come to the biggest churches in america that have never even said the word and they're asking me teach it i was in a room preaching a while back and i went back there after the service we had a great service and i went and they had a long table look like the marriage supper the lamb picture and they had a long table had 22 pastors sitting around the table and they gave me a plate of food and they said teach us the kingdom and i sat there two and a half hours while pastors wept who had never heard it so i want to take it's not going to be 30 minutes probably about 40 to 45 i'm not going to get in a hurry come on now and i just want to break some things down to you and i want you to shout if you want to you can run this is a big build and you run all the way down them exhibition halls get you a sprite and come back in here hallelujah whatever you got to do let's have some fun because this message is so powerful it's hard to contain yourself okay keep playing if you would just just a moment i'm gonna go to mark four there are two realms and we talk a lot about the spiritual the supernatural and all those things but i'm just going to be honest with you we see very very very little of it very little of it there are things that we have to go to counseling for six months that god could do in a moment there are things that god could do in an instant where we've been medicated for 10 years i believe god can break depression with one crying out to god i believe that god wants to take churches and create atmospheres where while we're praising and while we're worshiping stuff is breaking out everywhere and we don't all get to testify of what god done because over here a blind eye is popping open over here suicides being broken and over here depression's being crushed and over here a marriage is being put back together and up the aisle comes somebody that's just been addicted to drugs and wants to give their word stuff just breaking out everywhere we want it to be controlled but sometimes real moves are messy real moves of god are not clean they're messy and i'm all about a polished excellent representation of jesus but i'm not about it at the expense of losing the raw power of god moving amongst the people in a building and if this is a strange sound to you open your heart to what i'm about to say today there are two realms there is a spirit realm and there is a natural realm and second corinthians 4 and 18 i'm gonna get to mark four in just a minute just roll with me says why we do not look at the things which are seen how do you how do you do that but the things which are unseen so you're telling me the thing i can see don't look at it you're telling me the thing that i can't see to stare right at it how do you even do that it doesn't make sense that's a contradictory statement in itself while we don't look at what we can look at i want you to look at totally what you can't look at meaning that god created the heavens and the earth and god never intended for earth to operate without heaven he intended heaven and earth to operate the same and earth was to be a physical expression of heaven that's why the first place was called eden perfection or heavenly because it was a physical expression of heaven adam was a physical expression this may bother you theologically of god he breathed his own life into mud adam wasn't mud adam was the life that was breathed into the mud and it was the life of god because you can't get life out of dirt you only get life out of god in him is life and that life was the light of me oh hallelujah do you see what i'm talking about adam was put here to govern the earth and cause it to operate like heaven how did god operate god said and it was so god said and it was so god said and it was so so here comes adam and the bible says in whatever he called it that's what it was whatever he called it that's what it was whatever adam operated in a world that was like the one his father lived in and he operated and functioned in the same way that his father did until he lost his authority to govern because he rebelled against god and he sinned the whole story of jesus is not a story about who owns the earth it's the story of who will rule it the earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof ownership has never been and will never be in question but the cataclysmic event of the cross is one kingdom overtaking another jesus was not a religious figure he was a political figure he was a king jesus did not bring a religion to earth he brought a kingdom to earth listen this is very important so when you say the word kingdom this is what most people think they think the church is the people locally and the kingdom is the people internationally that's not the kingdom the kingdom is a life that you can step through jesus who is the door and then this whole world [Music] which comes from another realm is available to you in other words the world that you can see smell taste here and touch i can sit here this table right here i can smack it and you know what the bible says the bible says that this right here is not real [Music] for the bible says the things which were seen were made out of things which are not seen and the things which are seen catchment is temporary and the thing which you cannot see is eternal so there is a realm that is a spirit realm it is unchanging it is immovable and it is more real than the chair that is holding you up and everything that you can see smell taste touch and feel came out of that realm adam lost access to that realm jesus came and opened the heavens back up and gave us access how did he give us access he gave us keys keys jesus took the keys of death hell in the grave when he descended into the depths and then when he rose again he said all authority has been given unto me and nothing shall by any means hurt you you can tread on serpents and scorpions that's demonic powers in all the power of the enemy he said nothing can by any means harm you if you understand what just happened it's not just about getting saved a whole new dimension spiritually has been opened up for your access on a daily basis not in church on a daily basis so let me describe that for you in a few moments in jesus name thank you thank you brother gerald for being so faithful to play now can i just talk have you got any amens left in you okay so in other words don't look at what you can see look at what you can't see i have i'll be 53 in a week i can't believe that i really can't i'll be 53 in a week and i have about figured out that what's going on is never really what's going on i'm sorry i didn't know that when i was 23 because i would see something and let it move me i would let it affect me i would let it determine my emotions i would let it drive my responses but then i'm realizing that that's not the place where my focus is supposed to be there is an invisible realm invisible has nothing to do with the object it has to do with the subject you are the subject invisible means not that the object cannot be seen it means that your eye cannot perceive the image there is an entire realm that starts six inches above your head and the bible says that that realm is where all of your blessings are for he has blessed you with every spiritual blessing catch this in heavenly places in christ jesus so in that realm i don't have any needs if i pass this microphone around we'd be here till thursday everybody telling us their needs but in the spirit realm i don't have any needs that's why jesus when he was on the cross said it is finished some of you think heaven is walking through time with you some of you think god found out about your problem when you found out about it some of you pray like you're giving god information he doesn't have lord do you know what they did to me no honey tell me i don't know god is not walking through time with us god is in eternity and you got to understand in the spirit realm everything is finished so if you're praying in such a way where you're trying to get god upset about the thing that's upsetting you he's not getting up jesus went back to heaven and read it he sat down he's not getting back up he sat down sitting down as a posture of completion and rest so jesus on the cross said it is finished everything that you'll ever need to be protected is yours everything you'll ever need to be provided is yours everything you need to reach your potential is yours i've already put every answer to every question and place i've already given you healing for every sickness come on somebody i've already given you deliverance for every bondage there is nothing left to do it is finished turn the two people say it's finished it's finished so when god looks at your life he does not look at your life as a past a present and don't know what's going to happen tomorrow god looks at your life as a finished canvas that's why the steps of a good manner there's an order well i feel like everything's out of no there's an order there's an order to the disorder well this pain can't be no there's an order to the pain there's an order to your mistake because god wastes nothing all things work together for the good of those that are gone not good things all things somebody look at your neighbor and say they say nothing is wasted nothing the good the bad the ugly the in-between none of it matters it's all part of a plan where god has ordered your steps the bible says that we were prepared for good we are god's workmanship prepared for good works that god created for us beforehand the bible says cast all your care on him that means anxiety that means fear and that word says he cares for you two different words for cares says you take this word care in the greek and you cast anxiety fear and worry on him and says why because you know he cares for you that word care right there for god says that he anticipates a need in other words you don't have to be afraid because god has already anticipated the thing that makes you afraid god almighty god has already anticipated the answer you would need god has already anticipated that you would be in this situation and he's already provided a breakthrough why because it is finished well i don't have any money it is finished look at my home it is finished so i have got to learn how to apprehend the finished work and not live in this temporary two different realms we're totally focused on the wrong one let me let me give this to you another analogy mary magdalene is at the tomb and jesus is gone and she is profusely weeping but there are two angels there one at the place where jesus head lay one at the place where his feet lay mary magdalene is crying i noticed something about six months ago in that text the angels aren't crying mary's earthly the angels are from the spirit realm mary's crying while we look not at the things what you're seeing but the things which are unseen because the things which are seen are temporary but the things which are unseen are eternal mary's crying the angels are crying that tells me the angels know something mary doesn't know so what's upsetting her is not upsetting them because the angels see everything from an it is finished perspective all she knows is jesus is gone that's all she knows so she's looking at the things what you're seeing and she doesn't understand that there's an eternal purpose that is taking place for the bible says had the ruler of this world known they would never have crucified the lord of glory why because he descended into the depths of hell to the enemy and took him to went to the enemy's camp and took the keys out of his hand all this was happening while he was gone from the tomb but she couldn't see it so here's what i've realized i was raised in a holiness church my mama's here so i can't talk bad about it you know holiness church if it made you grin it must be sin that type thing you know if it was fun it was wrong i never saw my dad in a pair of shorts probably i was 25. if you ever went to youth camp the girls and the boys had to go swimming on different days y'all don't know about holiness the men got to dress as fine and slick as they wanted to the the women couldn't wear makeup couldn't wear jewelry couldn't wear nothing flashy come in my mama would pat me on the head son you go marry one of these nice little holiness girls in this church i looked at mom and said mama i ain't marrying nobody in this building i'm just gonna tell you that right now [Applause] hopes that she was raised holding this but when i met her she had a face full of makeup and big hair so i said you ain't holding this you don't you ain't human [Applause] i don't know that this was ever taught but this was what was learned from everything that was told is that you got saved by grace but you stayed saved by living right that becomes a very heavy taskmaster because you get to have your salvation dangled over you every day jesus came because people can't live right he lived right because we couldn't and i never understood well i can only stay saved if i get everything right so you know after i was about age 17 i realized i can't keep all these rules so if i'm going to hell might as well go in a limo you know so anyway as i grew probably about my late 20s i had some influences come in my life that changed my world one dr miles monroe and he started talking about the keys of the kingdom i was very intrigued later on became my two decade long mentor and before he passed gave me his personal notebook i cherish it and he made me realize that the commands of gods i want it to be quiet in here right now because i want you to get this because this is a shift for bible belt the grace that saved you keeps you safe and on your best day you can't live good enough to be saved and if you have a day where you do get most of it right your bib the bible says you'll feel your righteousness is still filthy so your very best day is filthy rags to god so jesus met a standard we could not meet and when i accepted him as my savior that standard is held irr irreverent of my conduct or behavior yeah i knew i'd lose my amens right then because we want people to act a certain way if they get saved that's why jesus forbids you to judge because behind every action there is a desire and behind every desire there's a need and since you don't get to see desires and needs you only get to see the action god says since you don't know the whole process don't say nothing [Applause] who i feel the holy ghost i feel can i can i go deeper some of you want me to read some scripture i'm quoting scripture left and right come on okay so these keys when jesus would say [Music] love your neighbor as yourself love your enemies if someone strikes you what he's doing is he's not giving you laws by which you make it into heaven he's handing you keys that access it salvation allows you to go jesus said i am the door if i go to your house please don't leave me at the door invite me in but you know where most christians are standing today at the door they got saved and that's all they know we baptize them and throw them a t-shirt that's all they know the holy spirit's been totally written out of the script i'm amazed at how many messages i hear on potential and purpose and the holy spirit's the only one who knows it we preach on jesus and we sing about the father all the time but they're the only two in heaven the one that's in the earth the holy spirit we never sing about we never talk about it we never write about him nothing he's been written out of the script so you know what we have an entire generation of people standing at the door waiting in ankle deep christianity i'm gonna change that in jesus name hallelujah in jesus name [Applause] wow so he says tithe tithe is not paying the church's bills god was paying his bills for you ever got saved god's been paying his bills for thousands of years respectfully the church is going to go on whether you tithe or not because the tithe is not about it it's about you bring me the tithe and see if i will not so now there's this spiritual and this natural stay with me and there are access points where i can get that stuff and bring it here pray like this that my kingdom would come and my will would be done on earth as it is in heaven so jesus says i give you the keys the keys to what the kingdom earth was never meant to operate apart from heaven so i'm giving you the keys that unlock heaven in your life so when god starts talking to husbands husbands those are keys ladies those are keys when he starts talking about your children those are keys to heavenly children yes amen when he starts talking about your money don't get mad at the preacher why because heaven is inexhaustible you're operating off limited funds heaven knows no heaven does not know limitation the spirit realm is inexhaustible if god gave every one of you a billion dollars today heaven would not be diminished one bit because you cannot exhaust it so god's trying to give you the keys where you can have access to it but people will not listen our other campus out in the silicon valley your brothers and your sisters that's the tech world out there half of the fortune 500 companies in all of america within five minutes of our church building apple facebook google amazon you name them the richest people in the world the whole world are out there and they got something so many of our people are employed at the tech companies let me tell you what i found out i've noticed something they have this thing they have called benevity it's a third party giving where you can give to your favorite non-profit and the tech company will match it dollar for dollar we just had a man last week tied eighteen thousand dollars and facebook matched it dollar for dollar and sent us a thirty six thousand dollar check dollar for dollar and see what we sit there and say why does the world prosper in the church can't repair the roof and we're god's people it's because let me take a key doesn't care whether or not you're saved those doors right there if those doors were locked if i came up to that door that door wouldn't say wait a minute are you born again filled with the holy ghost speaking in other tongues that door only cares about one thing do i have a key that's all it cares about so you know what i'm understanding all these companies that are now the richest companies in the history of humanity they got money going out left and right they are givers much more than a tithe they got so much money they don't know where to give it and so they got people said in their tens of thousands of employees and says whatever you love and want to give to we will match it because they understand a key and they keep growing and they keep going what till there is a blessing that they don't have room to contain elon musk the head of tesla and jeff bezos they have amazon their children's children's children's children's children will never be able to spend all their money because the promise when everybody tithe is a blessing that's so big you can't contain it they're operating in it but you preach on tithe in the church people sit right down on you that's why jesus said the children of the world are wiser than the children of light keys access points how do i get heaven in my house mark chapter 4. i got about 15 scriptures i need you to roll with me listen behold a sower went out to sow are y'all in a hurry or can i finish can we finish up i need everybody one time say finish preacher finish holly okay and it happened as he sowed that some seed fell by the wayside and the birds of air came and devoured it some fellow stony groundwork did not have much earth and immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth but when the sun was up it scorched and because it had no root it withered away some seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it and it yielded no crop but other seed fell on the ground you know the crops sprang up increased 30 60 and 100 fold verse 9 he said he who has ears to hear let him hear he already knows their people they're going to turn him off when you talk about seed time and harvest you just automatically lose half you have your listeners he knew that he said so those of you that'll hear me i got something for you the rest of you you'll just have to work with what you got but when he was alone this is important right here those around him with the 12 ask them about the parable and he said to you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of god but to those who are outside all things come in parables keep reading so that seeing they may not they may see and not perceive hearing they may hear and not understand lest they should turn in their sins be forgiven them and he said to them do you not understand this parable how then will you understand all parables did you catch that jesus said if you don't get what i'm about to say nothing else i'm going to teach will mean anything he said this is ground floor kingdom he's teaching a parable of the kingdom now let me tell you what a parable is it's a curtain jesus is not giving a teaching on agriculture he's using agriculture as a curtain and then seek ye first the kingdom of god the seeker pulls back the curtain and sees the truth behind the story the outside people the casual they just hear a story but there's another group of people now i know we don't like this and in a day where more walls need to be broken down than ever before i do have to say this so i just read this already in the church jesus said it we have an us and we have a them of them is everybody who's been saved why because that is receiving and everybody's a receiver he said they're on the outside he didn't say they wouldn't he didn't say they weren't a part of him he said they're on the peripheral they're casual let me tell you what jesus is saying he's been sitting there teaching on the kingdom all day he goes off to a place by himself and they said jesus why is it when you got a crowd you speak in code but when you get with us by yourself you speak plainly listen to jesus i love him he said cause i don't want him to know he said i spent all day hiding this behind a curtain because i'm not going to throw my pearls before swine he said i'll tell you he said but i'm not going to tell them he said because the kingdom does not come to the casual it comes to the seeker seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you all these things are in the kingdom the kingdom is full of your blessings the kingdom is inexhaustible and when you seek first the keys of the kingdom all these things will be added unto you if i can ever get you to learn the kingdom you'll quit praying about things you have the key to the things but we come up to the altar brother gerald we say i need you to pray for me i need a financial breakthrough respectfully i'll pray for anybody but prayer is not the seed for finances it's not the key for it i need you to come up here i i just need freedom from anxiety i need some peace in my life would you pray for me yeah but prayer is not the key for peace so you want all these things but we ignore the keys he's already told you how to have financial breakthrough he's already told you how he will stop the seed eater he's already told you how he will give access to heaven now it's up to you whether or not you'll use the key he said i will keep in perfect peace those whose mind has stayed on me yeah i'll pray for you but the fact is whether or not you have peace is going to be how locked in your thought life is it's not gonna be whether or not i was anointed it's gonna be what you focus on you focus on all your problems all your failures all your losses everybody who's done your wrong everything that ain't grown right you grieve all the time every time you're alone you cry he says you're not gonna have any peace well preacher i want you to pray for me yep you're gonna have peace as long as i'm praying for you then you're going right back to like you were but until you have your mind stayed on him and whatever is good whatever is noble whatever is pure whatever is kind whatever is true think on these things lock your mind into another place and god will let all of your anxiety begin to settle down it's not about my praying it's about you using a key shout hallelujah [Applause] can i keep going i'm trying keys keys keys not staying saved keys man i used to get saved 55 times a day because i thought every time i did something bad i had to go start all over i remember i lay down the bed scared tonight lord please forgive me if i've thought anything i'd just go through the list because they showed pictures of hell and they preached about hell all the time and i didn't know nothing about heaven but i knew i did not want to go to hell let me go back to those verses please now he's telling them plain he says come with me behind the curtain i'm not going to give it to them they're a bunch of takers they come for the healing line they come for the loaves and fishes they come because they want something but you matthew you left your tax collection business you luke you left your doctor's practice you peter you gave up all your fishing boats you that gave up something to be with me i'll tell you you guys left everything and followed me you became a seeker i'll give the kingdom to the seeker i will not give it to the casual the sower sows the word and these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown when they hear satan comes immediately and takes away a word the word that is sown in their hearts these likewise the one on stony ground they hear the word immediately receive it with gladness they have no root in themselves and so they endure only for time afterwards and tribulation persecution arises for the word sake immediately stumble the next group now these are the ones among thorns they're the ones who hear the word and the cares of the world deceitfulness of riches the desires of other things choke the word and it becomes unfruitful but these are the ones on good ground you know 30 60 100 fold let me stop right there most of the time i hear this preached everybody's talking about those four kinds of people four kinds of personalities i've even preached every time that i preach i got a 25 percent of percent chance of people entering the kingdom according to that parable that story one out of every four of you are gonna walk out here and get it according to that unless all of you decide to come up to become a part of the us crowd the kingdom crowd is the us crowd the peripheral crowd is the film crowd jesus loves them all but salvation is free the kingdom is not it is not now i want to take this this is my last minute i'm going to land this plane i want to take this last point and drive home the seed and the soil i don't want to talk about those four kinds of people the seed and the soil listen now what is a kingdom jesus came the kingdom is an extension of rule jesus came and john the baptist says repent for the kingdom is at hand in other words heaven is about to once again enter the earth god almighty that's powerful the word repent does not mean go to alter and pray a prayer it means change your mindset change your mindset you're no longer going to be limited to earthly things the kingdom of heaven is at hand man will once again access heavenly things so jesus comes along and says this is ground floor kingdom this is how you have access points and move things from one dimension to another i got bombs going off in my head i could preach four hours i'm trying i'm trying to find which horse to saddle up right here and ride it because i mean i got i go everywhere jesus said the seed is the word of god i believe in immediates immediately i love it in the bible was it when it says and suddenly i love the word breakthrough it just sounds good to even say it breakthrough a good preaching where breakthrough say it with a little bit of growl or have a breakthrough and suddenly and immediately quickly i love them and they exist and i've experienced them but they are not the story of my life the story of my life is seed time harvest planting today what i desire in my future with my words my actions my thoughts and my gifts where do i want to go cooperate with it now plant it access he says the seed is the word of god here's the problem you're gonna go to god and pray for the oak tree and god's gonna hand you an acorn and you're going to be ticked off what you don't understand is that god answered your prayer because if you knew what to do with the seed the tree is in the acorn god never hands you the 40 year old mighty oak tree he hands you the acorn and he says work it if i slid open an apple right here and pull the seed out of it should have done it and i held that tiny seed in my hand the fact is i'm holding a seed but the fact by definition means the present condition of a thing the fact is i'm holding a seed truth is i'm holding a tree but the tree is in the sea ho ho ho the truth is i'm holding a [Music] forest because the tree is in the seed the fruit is in the tree the seed is in the fruit that is in the tree that is in the fruit that is in the seed that is it you remember when i talked about that or that you got this cycle going that's why god does not come down every springtime and plant tomatoes he planted them one time and we're still eating it one time genesis one he put every herb in the ground for food and we're still eating it because of a seed so god says his word is seen so if you say pastor would you pray for me that i'll be healed sure i will and there are suddenlies and healing sure we'll pray for you but if god gives you a word on healing you just got your healing because he packed the manifestation in the scripture so when you read healing is the children's bread and when you read he sent his worth and his word and healed our disease and when you read where he told moses none of the afflictions of the world shall come upon you and when you read in luke 10 nothing shall by any means harm you and when you read philippians oh come on somebody when when you read that your god took stripes your jesus the son of god took stripes on his back for your healing by his stripes isaiah 53 5 you were he'll when you start saying these things why did we do these declarations this morning at 5 minutes to 10 because we're putting seed out into the air putting seed into the atmosphere i'm making a demand on the spirit realm why because you watch it when we start doing these declarations stuff's going to start popping up stuff's going to start showing up that freedom's going to start happening miracles going to start happening favor is going to start breaking out the church is going to start multiplying and you're not going to know why it's because we begin to put seed out into the atmosphere i know i've been preaching a long time give me five minutes somebody shout amen tell your neighbor say oh you needed to hear this so bad tell them say you need to hear this so bad see the seed that is sown in their hearts now i was also raised pentecostal pentecostals do crazy things crazy things pentecostals will tell you they don't need counseling they don't need hell i got the holy ghost i don't need that i need that i got the holy ghost i've seen every pentecostal thing you could do run in the pews saw a man run outside and bark up a tree because he was chasing demons up the tree yeah y'all ain't saying nothing y'all don't know nothing about my upbringing i'm telling you i saw a man who used to walk up and down the altar and his gift was hitting people and altering the head with a family bible i mean that family thing on the coffee table nobody ever read at grandma's house he would bring that thing to church and if you're a kneeling daughter he would slam you upside your head the offerings are the best because none of them are based in truth all of them are based in i've got to get you emotional at that moment when that is direct opposition to the word of god the bible says let every man give as he's purposed in his heart i gave a one thousand dollar offering to redemption east this morning before i got here why because i had purposed in my heart i do not have to wait for you to excite me in a moment [Music] it's a purpose i did it with purpose i have something i'm sowing for i have things i'm believing for i have miracles i want to see i'm believing things for this i'm believing things for you and i had to get some seed out there because the manifestation is in my seed now we get to offering timing oh man you get the oregon just start screaming you know screaming and the preachers i mean he's all up here and his veins sticking out of his neck and take it wild give me something right there take your wallet [Music] throw it on the floor yeah and throw your head back up on one leg to the side come around in a circle and rebuke the devil say devil you can't have my money and if everybody going nuts and they go home just as broke as a houndo [Applause] that ain't done nothing church nothing will happen in your life because it isn't the key it's not the access point the only thing you've got to do is get your me to get your miracles let the seed hit the soil you ain't got to dance around it run around it circle it you ain't gonna do any of that the seeds gotta hit the soil dilemma when you leave today the soil is not in your heart it's in your head so i might as well take soil and throw it out on a sidewalk i mean seed throw it on sidewalk sidewalk is not the landing spot for seed asphalt is not the landing spot for sea a plane has a tarmac a car has a garage everything's got to have a place to land you had that seat you landed in it but a seed has to have soil and without soil its potential is never realized if the word of god ever makes it to your heart what that word of god was sent to do will happen all by itself without an organ or without any preacher getting you hyped up [Applause] [Music] but when you leave the word is in your head you're renewing your mind right now but it's not in your heart because now we've got something that we've let other religions take away from us that we never do it's called meditating i try to meditate at least 10 minutes every morning it it takes me a long time to read something because i meditate it takes me forever to read the bible through i heard one guy say he read 30 books a year i might read five but when i get through with that book i can stand up here with no notes because i have meditated and the word meditate means a cow with two stomachs for those of you who know nothing about cattle a cattle has two stomachs and what does it does we call it a couch you and could it's passing the food back and forth from stomach to stomach during the digestive process until it's ready to be absorbed by the body your meditations on the word is when you're passing that thing back and forth between your heart and your head your heart and your head and your heart and it until it's been absorbed and now it's ready to produce it is a lost art in the church i don't ever hear anybody talk about it or preach on it so the bible says satan comes immediately so if you don't go out and meditate on what i've told you he knows it's just flopping around up there in your head so he's got an argument waiting on you he's going to let your kids say just the right thing to take you off real good in the parking lot and all of a sudden all this seed is just satan comes immediately didn't even have a chance play something if you wouldn't quit i don't normally preach this long anymore i preach too much to preach this long but there is something that is about to break out at redemption east i'm telling you it's about to break it i really need everybody to clap because it's corporate and it's going to hit everybody it's not going to hit a few if you can believe it and receive it i need you to just grab a hold and pop your hands one remain standing if you would if you're not standing would you just stay with me for a moment you better enjoy not having a service behind you if it's why you can because it means you don't have to be in a hurry [Music] the bible says guard your heart with all diligence [Music] for out of it flow the issues of life do you see the dots connecting whatever gets in your heart manifests so it says all your issues out here come from right here so why am i dealing with this situation because i let the seed of it get in my garden well they're just a sinner they're just a bad person no they are a mixture of seed because they see a great couple a great man a great woman of god and they learn things about marriage then they go home and they look at pornography and they get another kind of seed so they got good seed going in and they got bad seed going in so what happens the bible says matthew 25 he got up and he had the tares growing up with the wheat good stuff and everybody in this room you got some good stuff going on and you got some the word tares means undesirable you got some undesirable stuff going on and all it is is a result of what we let get in our heart don't have to be just sin it can be unforgiveness it can be hurt it can be trauma it can be abuse it can be betrayal it can be offense and all of a sudden your garden is polluted and then your life becomes polluted because your life is nothing more than an issue that your heart has pushed out [Music] i need you to pray for me pastor i just got all these issues i need to rebuke the devil honey the devil didn't do it you didn't guard your garden guard your garden with all diligence every conversation you listen to every radio station you play every thing that you entertain every environment that you walk into guard your heart with all diligence that's why when david messed up with another man's wife and then killed the man murdered him so he could have his wife psalm 51 10 created me a clean heart he said god i was where i shouldn't have been looking at what i shouldn't have looked at thinking what i shouldn't have thought started feeling things i shouldn't felt and ended up doing something i shouldn't have did i let it get here and then it for out of the heart flow the issue of life it's the job of the soil to pull the life out of the seed it's the job of your heart to pull out whatever you put in it and by the way soil doesn't care what's dropped in it it's job is just to produce it the identity is not in the soil the identity's in the sea are you getting so here's how i want to end it's been a rough year it's been a rough two or three four years for some people [Music] people have been unfollowed people don't have anything to do with each other i we used to be friends we used to talk we used to be connect we would and all this stuff is happening do you think that that's not polluting your life and we got to say create in me a clean god take my garden and pull the pollution out of it and then he said restore unto me the joy of my salvation he said that that experience i had when i got saved give it to me again [Music] if you say pastor i just got some stuff that i would love the lord to just clean out of my garden today probably everybody needs to raise your hand but i'm going to ask you how many of you say i got some stuff i just i just need to get it out i need to get it it's polluting my life i got to get it out [Music] lord i ask you today that you created us a clean heart oh god and renew a right spirit within us cast us not away from your presence don't take your holy spirit from us restore to us the joy of when we got saved and renew a right spirit within us the cleansing happens in here the guarding happens when we leave so we leave today and we set a guard around our heart that only kingdom seed will enter therein in jesus name i've gone a long time and you've been gracious would you put your hands together and give jesus praise me bless you got a lot of festivities planned for next week so you need to be here we put a lot of investment into it some great things planned it's going to be a blast so bring a friend next week raise your hand let me bless you before i go may the lord bless you and keep you and make his face shine upon you may he establish you and give you peace in jesus name amen you're dismissed meet a new friend on the way out i love you
