is that net or dot-com that allows you to buy black manufactured goods and wear so that we can in fact be intentional to circulate black dollars within our community we're mindful that in the Asian community in the Jewish community their dollars circulates somewhere in the orbit of 12 times before it leaves in the Asian community nine times in the Caucasian community seven times in the black community you're check-in in your hands for 30 minutes before you give it to somebody else but we want to stretch the parameters of that and so ask that you'll go to the chinos store and please

calendars and your gauge and make sure that your present how would you go to the book of Deuteronomy Deuteronomy chapter 15 Genesis Exodus Leviticus numbers Deuteronomy Deuteronomy whew daddy is right amen she'll stand to your feet all over the sanctuary those of us who grew up old school you had to learn all 66 books of the Bible y'all don't remember that amen he had to give a scripture before you could eat that was right before the grace any y'all grew up in that kind household Amen we got to go back to those basics so that this next generation doesn't lose the sacredness and the value of the Word of God deuteronomy 15 to Tyrande me 15 verse number 6 I want all of us to read this together with uplifted voices I want you to internalize it I want you to marinate on it Deuteronomy 15 and 6 everybody let's read together for the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised and you will lend to many nations but you will borrow from none you will rule over many nations but none will rule over you come on let's read it again that's that's a word for your life that's not for your neighbor that's for you come on let's read it together for the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none you will rule over many nations but none will rule over you I want you to look at the person beside you I want you to point out of my don't give you the words to say point at dead naman would you say as forcibly as you can for the Lord your God will bless you come on point at ISM as he has promised coming at him tell him you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none you will rule over many nations but none will rule over you if you believe it come on let's give God a shout of victory [Applause] you may be seated for the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised you will lend and not borrow you will rule but not be rolled over I want to preach for a little while today using as a subject I'll give it back to you when I can give it back to you when I can if you've ever heard those words but you just lift up that hand to me come if you've ever said those words wave that hand I'll give it back to you when I can my dear friends when the detectives have finally arrived to investigate the crime scene called the United States of America to try to figure out what murdered our democracy undoubtedly the blood trail of illegally deported immigrants and children who were unethically separated from their parents will be a factor the aggressive action of law enforcement on people of color will have to be considered gender inequality will be put in the equation for the maltreatment of women the incompetency of the commander in chief can't possibly be ignored but for those of you that stand squarely on the Bible when we come into their courtroom Exhibit A will have to be this country's violation of Deuteronomy 15 and 6 that clearly says for the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised and you will lend to many nations but borrow from none in essence he was saying if you are my nation you are a lender and not a borrower in direct opposition to that covenant as quiet as it's kept our country has borrowed 1.3 trillion dollars from China 1.3 trillion dollars from China to stave off the national debt as a consequence China is angling to make yen the standard in global currency in replacement to the dollar as well as they are presently entertain modifying the interest rate which would have a direct impact on our economy and your present loans this helps put into light why we were admonished not to be borrowers because it compromises your strength and empowers the entity you are indebted to the only thing I learned from George Bush while he was in office he touted that the only thing he carried in his wallet beside he is a driver's license was an American Express because he didn't want to owe anybody anything over 30 days he said in public statement if I owe how can I lead did you hear what I just said if I Oh then how can I lead you have way too much to do than to be indebted to people who want to control you Suzan Orman who is arguably one of the most influential financial gurus recently attempted to unpack in an interview with US News and World Report that this whole notion about good debt and bad debt is a mirage you didn't hear what I just said Suzan org Orman unpacked at that good debt and bad debt is a mirage while there's a great debate around high interest loans and credit card debt are damaging than other forms calling it good is misleading because you are still tied to an organization or an individual whether it be owing your mother or when your best friend Oh in a car company in any event you have abdicated your seat of authority because the person in whom you are now indebted can make a demand on that debt at any time y'all are good until money gets involved everything you're straight until they got a reminder you should do this you still do only that $50 y'all act like y'all never heard that before our community has been conditioned by a sharecropper mentality to spend what we don't have borrow beyond what we need and act like we have more I'm praying that the Lord make you a lender you will benefit because what's this they need you you can't be beginning at stake you can't stay in a place where you're always in need of somebody else's rescue but God's gotta equip and strengthen you so that other people become dependent on you why because you are known as the loner gods get ready to put something in your hand give me to give you an amazing resource he's giving you to give you an untapped possibility of economic strength that you're known as a loner now God then invariably cannot bless you if you have the spirit of selfishness can God trust you to be a loner if you are of the mind to keep it all to yourself you wonder why it is that you're not blessed is because you want to keep all of it and loan none of it you've been lending your time lending your expertise lending your talent lending your resource and why does God make you a lender he makes you a lender because if you are a lender it breaks the demon of selfishness because you're looking for somebody to bless looking for somebody to in fact pour into and somebody to invest in you can't be possessive of something you don't intend on keeping I want you to lift up that hand whatever use the hand of your authority of your left hand it lift that left hand if you're right-handed lift that right hand I am praying for you as pastor that God will so bless you you have enough to lend you all didn't hear what I just said huh you don't find Saints praying these kind of prayer come on lift up that hand and I want you to shake that hand god bless me until I have enough to live I can lend in and I won't even miss it I can extend it into the life of other people and it won't impact my lifestyle and I won't have to rearrange anything from my family come on lift up that hand God unlike them to be a lender so that they'll be able to be a better steward to people then people were to them that they'll be able to rescue family members from eviction and be able to block friends from heaven utility is cut off and be able to interrupt cars from being repossessed we ask them to be lenders well God to put you in a position of authority in a seat of power that you'll be able to lend to people so that you will become the closest thing that many people know to be God didn't hear what I just said see if hi we're talking to you about being a recipient you would be shouting all over this church but you got to change your mind friend God equip and anoint me that I able to do business as a lender that I am so fiscally secure that when people are in trouble they think of me but they also know that I am NOT running a social service agency if I give it to you I'm expecting you to give it back because I am about Kingdom business he gives seed to the sower so he's only gonna give money to people who know how to release it as long as you trying to figure out how to keep it the kingdom can't trust you but when it is that God will give you opportunities to invest in other people of the businesses and of the franchise and that's when God put you in a seat of authority and the history of savings and loans it's recorded in 2nd Kings chapter 6 that the sons of the prophet Elijah express how the place where they are living is too small for them so they got to go chop down trees beams by the Jordan River in order to enlarge their capacity that ought to be the feeling of a great remnant of you who are in this room that if in fact you are a child of the king where you live should start feeling too small for you God I'm telling you when you get that next check you ought to look at as they just too small for me God y'all don't have that kind of faith fight I should have preached this at 9:30 you you ought to be looking at your circumstance say this this ain't my size did this gotta be the size of my god and the size of my expectation and they went to Elisha and said we are your sons how can we live in something so small says we gone down to the Jordan River we're gonna stop chopping down trees so that we can enlarge our territory and the Prophet agrees to go with them while they're chopping down trees watch this the axe head falls off when the axe head falls off they find out what the problem is is that the axe was borrowed oh yeah I got the wrong people in here ah you gonna build something great for yourself when you always have a nabarro to build it I'm praying for 15 of you that have outlandish faith that whatever it is that you want to build next you won't have to take out a loan to do it I'm praying for somebody who's watching today that they'll know whatever it is you trying to enlarge whenever it is that you're trying to develop you'll be able to do it and you'll do it with no loan that the axe didn't break just the head of the axe broke I'm talking to somebody in here God told me to tell nine of you you better shout when I'm talking to you God told me to tell nine of you you ain't gonna lose your head over the loan hallelujah you just missed it you you ain't gonna lose your man because of your indebtedness you you ain't go go crazy because the first of the month is coming God said imma make you razor sharp in the process the lead cause of debt in our society is no longer credit cards the lead contributor of debt in our society is now student loans undisputedly a bachelor's degree can enhance your earning potential but far too many graduates walk across the stage and walk into debt seventy three percent I want you to have this seventy three percent of all people with a bachelor's degree are not working in their field God y'all not saying nothin to me they got a what to pay off their debt and not pursue their passion there's a book that I want to offer to all the parents that are in the room is a book by Zack Bissonnette and it is entitled debt-free university debt-free university how you can pay off your college education without loans or scholarships fans write that down please grandparents write that down I want godparents screenshot that book how to pay off your college education without loans or scholarships it articulates how student loans can be detrimental to one's financial condition what's this that a student loan is more risky than a mortgage if you file bankruptcy it can eliminate credit cards what's this but even if you file bankruptcy it does not dismiss student loans if you file bankruptcy what's this the government will go so far as to garnish your Social Security if you are in default but even if you are in default you are still responsible for student loans the enemy understands the value of knowledge the value of wisdom value of Education if it didn't mean anything why would they have made it illegal for slaves to learn how to read and write they knew if you ever enlarged your mind that you are a dangerous weapon they don't care you got a Gucci belt on they want to know what's in your mind and if you can get your man shop nothing will be able to take that away I shudder to tell you this morning I shudder to tell you this morning that the prison system in Maryland graduates more high school diplomas than the public school system of Baltimore and more of our young men are getting their high school certificate behind prison bars than behind this I'm educated to be a prisoner on yesterday one of the members of move nine was was released out of prison after 35 years in jail just for fighting for the liberation of our people and yet you've invested in video games but not a tutor so your children know how to play but then negro don't know how to read what's wrong with you you and the prisoner the Lord has Solomon what do you want do you want Fame do you want popularity do you want well and Solomon said Lord gives me wished he said if you get wisdom I'll give you everything else can I tell you the problem with these 21st century runaway slave Christians is we keep shouting to be debt-free and to be millionaires and to be wealthy but nobody is teaching us wisdom so God keeps giving your blessing and you keep wasting the blessed day cuz you got no wisdom to go with you well but I buying stupid decisions God show us how to operate and function in economic wisdom let's meet with the kind of wisdom that I didn't even get from my upbringing that I didn't get from a book that I didn't even get from academic pursuits I need you to give me wisdom on my feet hallelujah that I'll figure out that everything that glitters ain't gold some of it is aluminum for your God I need you to show me delayed gratification I I need you to help me so I don't bad stuff I don't need with money I don't have to impress folks that don't even pay attention to me God give me wisdom that sometimes I got a downside see in order to upgrade and because I don't go down for a season you don't mean I'm cursed it don't mean I'm punished it means I'm smart it means that I'm making wise decisions for my children's children you too old to need a bag for yourself at speed you too old to have to go shopping to feel better what ought to make you feel better is I still got something in the bank and if this job lets me off I have saved long enough so I can live without it give me wisdom Spike Lee spike leave my Morehouse brother filmed his first film she's got to have it and the whole production he did it on his credit cards Spike Lee ended up getting five credit cards to pay for the movie use credit cards to feed to safe to rent the cameras and I only want to tell you this fact Lee then had to do three more films just to get out of debt creative but incarcerated because of his own dead some of the worst advice you can take is to use credit cards to start up your idea as high risk and is greatly unadvisable because it's not yet proven unemployment soar graduates is at an all-time high and people I'm telling you will spin quicker on a credit card than they will with cash because you can't see the money go you need rustiest where brother robinson talks about all the time is you need startup capital you need something that will help you take off not something that will slow you down I came to tell the demon that was a sign to your idea don't ever let me get started if I get out the gate on what it is that I'm working on nothing will be able to stop me the hardest thing for an entrepreneur is getting started but once I get my groove once I get my momentum once I figure out my rhythm nothing will be able to slow me down will you look at your neighbor and say don't let me get started don't let me get started on my idea don't let me get us started on my assignment don't let me get started on my book don't let me get started on my nonprofit don't let me get started on looking for my next house so let me get started for a plan to go back for my masters don't let me get started because nothing can stop me we on out where your if I ever get spotted Oh what God has given me I'm telling you if God be for me who can be against me I came to speak over somebody's life it's a simple prophecy but God told me to tell you this is the summer you get started this is the summer you start saving this is the summer you start getting out of debt this is the summer you don't shop to feel better but you're saved to live well this is the summer it gets started [Music] and what I find interesting is that all I've admonished you to do all I've asked you to do everything I've challenged you to do I almost feel guilty telling you to do it because I've got a lack of role models I'm showing you how to live without borrowing as far into our community and it's even far in our faith how do I do it your dad died in dead mother works your whole life fighting dead you know made your children inherit dead and put the phone in their name you don't have no example nobody ever told you ten ten eighty nobody told you to to tithe ten just save ten and live off your eighty nobody ever told you ain't no interest coming out of that Bank that you got to find another way to get a real high interest on your savings because the bank is living off of your investment I gotta ask you a critical question where's my example how do I live without borrowing and I regret to tell you that even our loving Lord ignored Deuteronomy 15 I know I'm about to be charged with heresy I know you get ready to run me out to church but I gotta tell you this that even Jesus it was too hard of a standard for him to follow Deuteronomy 15 and 6 for the Lord your God is gonna bless you Wow cuz that's what he promised and you will land to many nations but borrow from nun sounds good it excites me and if do you rates me it compels me it challenges me it stretches me and I was with it until I got to Luke 23 when I get to Luke chapter 23 something happens that confounds and challenges my faith and I got to tell you what happened you ain't gonna believe it Jesus he who knows no sin took on the sin of the whole world he who old no dead but took on my day can I tell you what he did you ain't gonna believe it in Luke chapter 23 he's crucified and and he pays my debt if I was in a Baptist Church that's where they were shout right there they they hung him high and they stretched him why he hung his head and then he died I know you think I'm running the resurrection ain't going there cuz you can't miss the point in the principle that I'm trying to preach on this morning is that when he died that ain't where to sin happen something happened on that Friday night after it is that they took them off that cross god help me a wealthy businessman by the name of Joseph he shows up in palettes house without a hot meeting and says give me Jesus's body hallelujah that don't sound too bad to me until I get to that next clause where is that joseph of arimathea since I'm gonna put Jesus in a borrowed tomb no these years of preaching the gospel all these years of reading it I never realized that Jesus was in fact a borrower hallelujah what do you mean by that preacher I'm telling you Jesus was a borrower because he allowed them to put his body in a tone that didn't belong to him hallelujah but the tomb really belong to Joseph but he borrowed it y'all are looking at me loss hallelujah you're looking at me a little bit dazed and confused I realize you haven't had coffee and I know you thinking about whether you gonna be late for your brunch reservation I know some of you are arguing in your mind whether you should have got your dad anything please just give me two more minutes and I'm a bid you adieu but here's what I want to tell you is that when he took Joseph Sbarro tomb can I tell you what Jesus said to Joe he said to him I'll give it back to you when I can because it was never Jesus's intention to keep the tomb he made up in his man i'ma give it back to you in three days y'all blake god bless you're real good but i came to tell you that within the next
