those of you that are watching online if you live in the area come on out we're on hathaway just off the john wayne highway that goes through maricopa arizona and i would love to have you here so it starts at six o'clock p.m so make it out here before that so that you can get some good parking and seating and then for those of you that don't live in the area please join us on live stream it is going to be phenomenal um it is it is i just have an expectation about it but before i begin my message i had something prophetic hit me um just a few minutes ago and how many of you have been noticing that there's an acceleration of revelation and prophetic downloads recently i just i'm just getting more and more it's almost there isn't a day that goes by when i don't have some kind of encounter but as i was worshiping i felt the lord want to give us a warning and i was reminded of back in the cold war years which you know the era of the cold war was from about 1950 through into the early parts of 1990 and what that was was a a stand against um communism as far as government control communism and um i remember in the mid 1990s i had the the privilege of ministering in albania right after um it opened up after 50 years of cruel dictatorship and it was so unbelievable what those people lived through because the government literally told them how to think what to learn how to speak what they could have what they couldn't have and they were literally controlled in every area of their life in fact all the apartments they all lived in apartment blocks i did i didn't see a house while i was there it was apartment block after apartment block after apartment block and every single floor plan was the same and in the furniture stores there was only one type of furniture therefore everyone had the same furniture so there was this power that tried to conform everyone into a control place and there was it was so much fear they were afraid and that's one of the forces behind communism dictatorship is is the fear the controlled by fear and so the people were afraid to violate anything that the government said they were afraid to speak up against it they were afraid to have their voice being heard and so they were completely subdued for 50 years no one hardly anyone went into albania and hardly anyone came out of albania for 50 years they had no tv or radio for the common person they they weren't allowed to have that so they were told by the government that they were the most blessed nation in the world the most prosperous nation in the world but they were poor they barely had everyone ate the same food and it was very very limited um food and and menu but they believed until it opened up and they saw otherwise they believed a lie that they were a great nation until they found out that they weren't and that was through government control and so the lord spoke to me while we were worshiping and he said beware because in the cold war we were concerned about maybe invasion of a communist nation into nations that were free okay and we fought that but he said this is not about a government invasion it's about media and so media is doing the same thing as far as control and telling us what to believe and it's very interesting because if you go on uh youtube uh facebook and that you will see aspects of truth or even bits of information even that will contradict information that is being spread through mainstream media but as soon as it pops up it's downplayed or not given a place to express and it's like there's a control thing going on in there so i just feel the lord saying strongly be very careful what you're listening to that's out of mark four be very careful what you're listening to because if you're sitting in front of secular media right now i'm telling you you are not going to get the truth in fact you could even be submitting your your your mind to a dictatorship you'll be told what to believe you'll be told what to believe about your health you'll be told what to believe about you know what you should ingest into your body and what you shouldn't you'll be told what to believe about political issues and it will be a manipulation through media to make everyone believe the same thing there is something controlling media right now that's trying to get us all thinking the same thing one of the meanings of the greek word dunamis which is what we use for power one of the meanings of dunamis is power that comes through numbers in other words the agreement and so if you can get a whole nation to agree on something then it can be done there's power to make it happen and so we have to be very careful what we're coming into agreement with be very careful what we're coming into agreement with so i just want to encourage you you stay in the word you stay in the word and let that be your media let god's truth be your media let god's truth be your voice and speak his word unashamedly we will speak the voice of the lord and the word of the lord because the voice of the lord what comes through the voice of the lord will will shatter strongholds and we the church are going to be stronger than we've ever been we will be stronger than we have ever been when we stand on the voice of the lord and when we let the lord's word become our media and when we use media ourselves put it out there because the word of god doesn't return void it accomplishes everything it's sent to do so with intentionality put out the truth with as much media presence as you can put it out with we have right now we can go on facebook and instagram and and tick tock and youtube and many christians are saying you know those are all evil i can't stand it i'm i'm i'm opting out of them don't opt out be a light in the midst of the darkness with intentionality release your light because if every christian opted out of that then everyone who watches facebook everyone that goes on instagram is going to get garbage and there will be no light and if there's no light and no salt how is anyone going to be preserved and i'm not saying that you should digest anything that's on there but you should be giving out the word of the lord and and those opportunities that we have so just i don't know it just came really strong to me in in worship but my message this morning is our third session that i want to share on the subject of increase and um on august 3rd i had an angelic visitation of an angel of increase and it came with a scepter and where it stretched forth the scepter it was it was marking increase it was releasing increase there was authority to bring increase and the lord made it so um so sure in my heart that his desire for his people in this season is to actually go after increase and not to tolerate a lack of increase so when you look at all the good things that god has put into your life all the things that he's put in your hand to do he wants you to expect an increase of all those good things in this coming year he wants you to expect your anointing to increase he wants you to expect godly relationships to increase in your life he wants you to expect provisional things to increase he wants you to expect revelatory increase he wants you to expect increase in strength and vitality and so um just let's let's get on the increased bandwagon here and just go after it because it's on god's heart it's it's his desire so today i want to look at the subject of increase when you know we review the principle of stewardship in regards to increase and so i'm going to take you into matthew 25. matthew 25 is quite the chapter it contains three parables in there about the kingdom of god and so jesus often oftentimes tried to give understanding concerning the kingdom of god through the use of parables or stories that people could relate to and so it begins matthew 25 begins with the parable of the of the ten virgins there was five five wise and five foolish and it was about stewardship wasn't it it was about what they did they all had lamps they all you know were waiting for the bridegroom but five of them were ready five of them had stewarded their their oil and five didn't okay and it talks about the door being close to the unfaithful and then secondly the parable of the talents which i'll unpack for you in in a moment with some insight that might help help um but again it was a parable about faithful stewards that were blessed with increase and unfaithful that were were cursed with loss the third parable of the sheep and the goats was about those who the faithful that inherited the kingdom and then the unfaithful who did not so the whole chapter is kind of on that theme and we always want to take the scripture seriously and you don't just say well i don't know if i can believe that way you know because as soon as you start thinking that you you are actually saying i believe i am smarter than god or you're saying yeah this is a scripture but i don't really believe it and both those places are dangerous places to think okay so we need to seek the lord for understanding and insight and i find that there's tensions in the word of god in one place you'll find one thing then it looks like it's contradicting on the other side but actually when you read it in as whole it brings out a full balance and completion so you never want to throw anything out and you never want to mock and you never want to deny the word of god because of an emotional response and especially in the day that we're living in because our culture is saying well this is okay that's okay that's the other love wouldn't look like this love wouldn't look like that god wouldn't look like this god wouldn't do that and so if you're listening to what's out there and letting that create an emotional response in you to the word of god then you know you could come out of alignment with what is the very very uh truth of his heart and kingdom so we're pursuers of truth and we want to embrace it okay so let's look at the parable of the talents in matthew 25 14 to 30. i'm going to read it out of the passion translation my study my study bible and my and my regular bible that i've used since i was a brand new christian as a new american standard um and i really love it but in devotion in this last um year since since january in my devotion i've also been reading the passion translation and there's some uh some verses that are just highlight things so beautifully so i'm going to read out of that this morning again heaven's kingdom is like a wealthy man who went on a long journey and summoned all his trusted servants and assigned his financial management over to them before he left on his journey he entrusted a bag of 5 000 gold coins to one of his servants to another a bag of 2 000 gold coins and to the third a bag of 1 000 gold coins each according to his ability to manage so we see here that first of all jesus is saying the kingdom of heaven is like he's giving a parable he wants us to understand the kingdom now kingdom is a place where a king has rule okay it's not a democracy people don't vote on what they think is right the king tells you you know what what what it is like so he says the kingdom of heaven is like and of course he said it's like a wealthy man who went on a long journey now it says he summoned all of his trusted servants all of his trusted servants now he probably had other servants but he summoned his trusted ones ones that he could trust that if he gave something into their hands that they would care well for his concerns over it and i wanted to just draw out here a lot of times we identify ourselves as servants and in this particular parable we want to understand the servant nature that we have before the lord but before you can be a servant you have to be a son or a daughter in the kingdom so we're not slaves in the kingdom when you come to jesus christ and receive him as your savior you become the very child the son and daughter of god you you have a dna that is filled with him and you are the beloved child of god and it's from that place of identity that you can then serve you can't serve if you don't understand that identity if you do you'll have a slave mentality if you do it'll be just like well i've got to do whatever i can for my master so that he will love me no you're already loved you're already embraced you're already owned by god you're already you know his very own and out of that then you can serve his purposes and so he was calling all of his trusted servants um and it says in acts 1 18 that in the end times god was going to pour out his his spirit upon all flesh and it talks about on his bond slaves on his bond slaves he would pour out his spirit now the bond slave in the old testament it explains that if a slave that was owned by its master served his portion of time out at the end of that contract at the end of that time if he loved his master and if he loved his father's house he could remain on as a bond slave where he would have an owl um put into his ear and he would be treated then like a child in the house and so i believe that god is looking for those who know that their true sons and daughters but understand what it is to serve the father's purposes to serve kingdom purposes to give our lives to that that we love our god and we love his house and so we're willing as sons and daughters to serve him and when a bond servant became a bond servant it was for life it was for the rest of their life and so we are both sons and daughters and we are also trusted servants and what he did is he assigned his financial management over to them now this is a very rich man he's a very wealthy man and he was going to turn all of the management of his wealth over to these servants that's huge that's huge that would be like you identifying a friend and saying you know what i really trust you i'm going to give you power of attorney over all my property and over all my money because i i just trust you that's a huge amount of trust that's a huge responsibility and i think that you know we we it would do us good to understand god's heart towards us in this way is that he has all this wealth when jesus left the earth he had obtained all the wealth he he settled all the issues he established covenant between god and man he had all the wealth of the eternal kingdom that he had obtained and then he says okay i'm turning all of it over to my trusted servants and when you look at it that way it's like you realize wow i have a responsibility i have a responsibility as a a daughter as a son but also to serve the purposes of my god because he's made me a steward of what he has obtained i am a steward to manage that so he gave it to them in order to have them manage and he gave five thousand to one two thousand to another and a thousand to another um and apparently in that day that was a lot of a lot of money over a year over a year income for the smallest amount and different commentaries will show you different things i mean in today's value as far as gold and silver and that it's like you know millions and millions billions of dollars worth of worth of gold at today's market but back then it was still a huge amount of money so he gave to each of them according to their ability to manage according to their ability so god's given us gifts and he's given us understanding and training and and we have ability in us to manage different things if you have a family you have an ability to manage children if you have a business you have ability to manage the business so he gave them these talents according to their ability to manage and someone who can manage let's say a thousand might not be able to manage five because they haven't grown to that point i've heard people over the years that look at someone who's really anointed and say you know i could do that i could do that but they haven't come up through all the battles and everything it takes to exercise that level of authority so even though they think they could manage that much they can't and even it's been proven for people that get inheritances very quickly or they get large sums of money very quickly like even winning the lottery or something like that where there's there's millions and sometimes billions of dollars involved that that the track of it is is that it's not managed so they lose it they go right back to where they were before they got it and it's not an issue of whether there was substance or not put in their hand it was all about management and so they lost it because they had no management abilities and if we'll be faithful and and eager to manage the lord's kingdom i believe there's going to be a great increase in this coming season for every area that god's entrusting you with okay um let's go on to um verse 16. the one entrusted with 5 000 gold coins immediately went out and traded with the money and he doubled his investment in the same way the one who was entrusted with 2000 gold coins traded with the sum and likewise doubled his investment but the one who had been entrusted with 1 000 gold coins dug a hole in the ground and buried his master's money so you'll notice in verse 16 and 17 what this one that had the 5 000 talents did is he immediately acted he was given stewardship and he didn't sit back and think well maybe 10 years from now 20 years from now i'll do something with this yeah you know i i know i've been anointed but you know i'll wait for whatever down the road no he acted on it immediately he acted on it immediately and i believe in this next season god wants us to be more immediate when he puts things in our hand that when when we get revelation that he wants us to act on it not just sit back and say oh yeah god showed me this and god showed me that god showed me the other what does he want you to do with that if he's entrusting you with revelation what does he want you to do with it and as you seek him further and get you know the plan for then you you act on that so that it can bring forth the increase and so i believe that you're going to feel that in your spirit that you know what i just need to do this not talk about it not think about it i just need to do it and then he also it says he traded with the money he traded it so so he worked it he had an eye for how it could bring increase and i think a lot of times we'll get a blessing from god we'll say oh what a great blessing but we're not looking at it as to how it can bring increase on how we can multiply that and when god gives you something it could be even a burden in prayer it could be money in your hand it could be a talent that you have the the the desire of the lord is to see that increase for you and for his glory and so it's not going to increase if you don't put it to use if you don't make up work for you if you don't plant the seed if you don't make the trade and so he he traded with the money in order to bring increase now as a result of that he doubled the investment now double is the the minimum um uh amount that it takes to or double is the minimum amount for for multiplication and that we are called to be fruitful and to what multiply so you'll notice here it was doubled so that is multiplication that is the increase that god is looking for to double and we should have an expectation you will you will receive what you expect you can just beat the air and live through life and just live every day letting things happen and you'll be still loved as a son and daughter but at the end of the day you're probably not going to have much that's sustained but if you look to increase then you will and and it will be sustained increase and then the fourth uh point is the one with the smallest amount to stuart um buried it the the one with the smallest amount he buried it okay number uh verse 19 after much time had passed the master returned to settle accounts with his servants and the one who was entrusted with 5 000 gold coins came and brought ten thousand saying see i have doubled your money i've doubled it so commending his servant the master replied you have done well and proven yourself to be my loyal and trustworthy servant because you have been a faithful steward to manage a small sum now i will put you in charge of much much more you will experience the delight of your master who will say to you enter into the joy of your lord so increase delights god when he sees you increasing it makes him happy he wants all of his children to increase it just causes him to delight and he has ordained us to increase genesis 1 28 also faithfulness in the small things brings increase faithfulness so this servant who received the five thousand wasn't suddenly entrusted with five thousand it's said that he was given it according to his ability therefore he had grown up to be able to steward that much so wherever you're at right now even if you're learning something brand new be faithful with it because it is going to increase and the more faithful you are with it the more you will have to steward and i and it is guaranteed faithfulness will bring you um that uh that increase um faithfulness in the small will bring you increase and then thirdly increase brings delight to the servant the delight of the master so it says that that he could share in the delight of the master so when you increase not only is god delighting over the increase on many levels he's delighting because you are increasing but he's also delighting because there's kingdom advancement and people's lives are being filled with light and life because of the increase so so god is just delighting on so many different levels and then he says enter into that delight so you actually get to partner with god in his delight and that's why it feels good when you increase in good things you feel good you have joy because you're sharing in god's delight okay let's look at verse 20 22. then the one who had been entrusted with 2 000 gold coins came in and said see my master i have doubled what you have entrusted to me commending his servant the master replied you have done well and proven yourself to be my loyal and trustworthy servant because you were faithful to manage a small sum now i will put you in charge of much much more you will experience the delight of your master who will say to you enter into the joy of your lord now you'll notice that that the the um the blessing that the master gave the one with two thousand talents was the same as the one with five so it's not like you don't need to compare yourself to anyone because you are being rewarded for your own faithfulness and everyone is different everyone has different gifts talents different things to steward and you don't have to look at someone else and think well look at they're doing so much and i'm not doing as much of them so i might not be as good of them it has nothing to do with that it has to do with how you are walking with the lord with what's in your hand even though it was a smaller amount the delight of the master was the same exactly the same the delight of the master concerning increase is a constant and is not dependent on the amount double is the lowest common denominator for increase so don't compare yourself to another okay verse 24 then the one who had been entrusted with 1 000 gold coins came to his master and said look sir i know that you are a hard man to please and you're a shrewd and ruthless businessman who grows rich on the backs of others i was afraid of you so i went and hid your money and buried it in the ground but here it is take it it's yours now in the new american standard bible it says i like this this writing better it says master i knew you to be a hard man reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed verse 24. when you have a wrong understanding of god's law of sowing and reaping you'll be held back from making investment that will increase and i hear that a lot with believers they'll say oh well if god wants to increase he'll let it happen you know god can make anything happen oh god is sovereign he can make it all happen i don't have to do anything i'll just sit back i don't even have to go out and preach the gospel because if god wants them saved he'll just bring them in have you heard that now i believe in the sovereignty of god god is sovereign i totally believe that he is sovereign which means he has all power he has all rule he he is sovereign over but in his sovereignty he set up his kingdom with certain rules and certain principles and certain ways that it functions and as a sovereign god he is totally allowed to do that right god sovereignly chose jesus to come and complete everything for us as far as covenant that was his sovereign plan to do that but now people have to receive the benefit of that sovereign plan jesus didn't die on the cross and said okay i'll save you and you and you and you because i'm sovereign i can save whoever i want but the rest of you can go to hell and neither did he say okay i'm just going to do it for all of you and you don't have to make any decision for me he did it for all that was his sovereign plan he did it for all but everyone has to make their own choice so it's the way the sovereignty of god works so as you read your bible you will see god's sovereign plan unfolded because he set up the kingdom in this glorious way and it's enjoyable to walk through it's so enjoyable it fills you with joy when you partner with god in the way that he has set it up so good and so this guy this guy was saying well you know i i you know i just knew that you could do whatever you wanted so i just took what you gave me and put it in the ground and live my life as so i never had it and how many do we know that are doing that oh well i'll just live day by day and you know god wants to do something he'll do it and i'll just you know so that was his that was his posture and it also says that fear held him back it said that he feared i was afraid first verse 25 i was afraid of you so i went and hid your money fear is such an enemy it is such an enemy and especially now for the last two years there's been a principality of fear that has tried to invade the whole world and we cannot give into it and we cannot fear to make investment and to take risks the first two they took risks with what had been put in their hand because of their faith they didn't fear they believed but this one didn't have faith he was motivated by fear and sometimes god will will endow us with something or give us opportunity to let's say go and preach the gospel or something and we say i don't know i'm a bit afraid because i'm not as good as that evangelist or not as good as that one and i don't know what if i speak up and i do it wrong and so we don't do it and what's the motivation of that it's fear i don't think i'll move forward to fulfill my destiny because what if i move forward and something doesn't happen the way i think it should happen or what if i put my self out there and i fail what if what if what if and so we we get run over by fear and we end up bearing the very assignment that could bring increase we do it with finance too i don't know if i can i don't know if i can sow a financial seed i don't know if i should because if i do i i might not have enough to buy bread i might not have enough to buy gas for the car i might not be able to make it you know so maybe i'll withhold it and what is behind that it is fear that is motivating that fear can hold us back so he gave god or he gave the master back the unused talent he didn't use it he had just buried it he never did anything with it so his master said to him this is the response now remember jesus is teaching us what the kingdom is like and some of these things we don't like to hear but we've got to we've got to look at them but his master said to him you are an untrustworthy and lazy servant that was an evaluation right you're untrustworthy i gave you something to work with and you just let fear drive you instead of faith and you bury that and did nothing with it and you just were lazy if you knew i was a shrewd and ruthless businessman who always makes a profit i wanted to underline that too always makes a profit do you know that god will always bring profit to what you invest in him and if you believe that you know a lot of times people say yeah yeah yeah i i know i i know that i reap what i sow i know i believe in 30 60 100 fold return but no i can't do it because i'm bound by fear but he says if you knew that i always make a prophet why didn't you deposit my money even in the bank why didn't you at least put it in a place where it's going to to create interest then i would have received it all back with interest when i return god always makes a profit so it's a faith issue he did not believe he would increase if he invested and the issue is not about the money the master received back it was about the lack of faith in increase so in verse 28 says but because you are unfaithful i will take the one thousand gold coins and give them to the one who has ten thousand for the one who has will be given more until he overflows with abundance and the one with hardly anything even what he has will be taken from him wow that's this is scripture this is jesus teaching about the kingdom so what he's trying to encourage us to do what he's saying is when i give you a talent when i give you means invest it because it will profit it will increase and if after time there is no increase and that that original gift the talent the substance can be transferred to another and i just wanted to say if you notice people that have been gifted and blessed but are doing nothing with it and you're watching them just so blessed and yet they don't do anything with it you could go to the lord and say lord i've been faithful with this if you need to pass on that anointing i'll take it i'll steward it for you if you need someone to steward that finance i'll steward it for you because he's looking for people to transfer to who will be faithful with it and so he gave it to the one who was faithful and the one who had the ability to manage more who had grown into that and he wants all of us to grow an ability to manage more so he said i'll take the one thousand gold coins and give them to the one who has ten thousand for the one who has will be given more until he overflows overflows with abundance that's what god wants for each and every one of you he wants you to overflow in abundance in this next season that is what he is offering his church an overflow but the one with hardly anything even what he has will be taken from him and a lot of times we'll look at those that have nothing and say oh the you know the poor people you'll give them something you know give them something to help them but then the next day they're still poor or after you pay their rent one month the next month they still don't have anything for the rent what happened there there was a lack of stewardship a lack of looking for increase you can't just say oh good i got my bill paid someone came up and paid my bill for me praised the lord my bill's paid no you've got to look how am i going to increase if this bill is paid i've got a new platform for increase right otherwise you're going to be dug in a hole of poverty and god doesn't want that for any of us says even what he has will be taken from him one spirals up and the other spirals down but it's all our position on where we we um lay the foundation for increase so god is looking for those who will be good stewards of what has given us he is looking for those who will believe him for increase and our faith action and stewardship blesses god and it creates increase until we overflow we saw that in verse 29 and the servant who was unfaithful lost all it was transferred to the one who would manage it better and bring increase there's transference coming there's transference coming we see in the bible that the wealth of the wicked will be transferred to to the just why because the just are going to steward the purposes of god well with it so get ready you can say pick me lord i'll be happy to to look after that increase right he's looking for people seriously he is he's looking for people who will believe him for that and who will steward it in verse 30 then the master said to his other servants now throw that good for nothing servant far away from me into the outer darkness where there will be great misery and anguish and you find that when you're in a place in life where you're not increasing but you're spiraling down i've ministered to so many in this place it's anguishing for them it's constant anguish it's constant it's like i can't pay my bills this month well this came up and i can't pay that i want to do this but i can't do it they live in anguish all the time and a lot of times what the issue is i'm not saying all the time but a lot of times what the issue is is stewardship have they stewarded what they had well have they sown well have they believed for increase have they trusted god for increase because he doesn't want one of us to be in a place of anguish and when this transference of wealth comes there will be anguish on the ones that lose it but the ones that are faithful will advance a kingdom with it it's going to be an amazing time so god wants you to expect increase in this next season he's marked you for it there is increase coming and he's been showing us over the last few weeks through his word how to create the increase realms of increase and one of them is to just have expectation for it if you have expectation for it that increase will come to you it will come and when it comes the lord's saying now steward it steward it well steward what he puts in your hands well for his glory and as you pray he'll show you how to steward it he'll show you how to increase it he'll show you how to think like he does so that you can enjoy the fullness of his love and i'm telling you let's intentionally go after it all increase in every area of your life every good blessing from the lord he wants you increased in increase increase increase and that angel that came it had a scepter in his right hand and it just pointed wherever it pointed there was increase there was there was increase being released i tell you this is what god wants for all his people it's not just a few it's not just for this one this one or that one it's for all his people he's saying i'm giving you all increase so that you you can create multiplication so that you can create more for my glory and it is going to be amazing we're going to see an increase of harvest right you know people right now that are out there preaching the gospel uh ben and jody hughes are part of our our family here and they're you know they've been out in in different places throughout the us this summer on their own dime on their own dime making the sacrifice and just pouring themselves into really difficult situations to preach the gospel to pray for the sick and guess what's happening people are getting saved people are getting healed people are getting delivered and increase is coming increase is advancing the kingdom why because they're stewarding the gift they're stewarding the gift god gave them that passion for souls he gave them the anointing to pray for the sick he gave them the anointing to preach the gospel and so they're taking the measure that they have managed up to this time you know because it's been over many years that they've been building this up and they say yes we're going to go and make investment and we're going to give god back an increase and all summer you know they're they're they're so humble we we we seldom hear all their reports but it's it's massive in one meeting over 30 deaf ears got opened in one place in kentucky where they were out there were 700 baptisms in one night they were just in in in north carolina this weekend and yesterday it was pouring rain pouring rain and people were still driving in to hear the gospel and there was a full tent but you know they didn't care if they had to preach out in the pouring rain or under a tent it didn't matter to them they're just going to steward their gift and i know that sometimes it can be intimidating when you're given an opportunity in the lord to invest your gift it can be intimidating sometimes and that fear can hit you and there's no shame no blame no condemnation no accusation from the lord but there is invitation to receive forgiveness and get back on track and some of you you know you've been called maybe prophetically or maybe to minister deliverance or or different things and you've just held back because you feel insecure i just want to encourage you invest invest invest because increase is coming increase is coming and any time when you see someone just going for it and they take the investment of the anointing and they go and they study it out and they work it and they invest it through doing it through acting on the word they always increase and you won't find a seasoned preacher out there that just got into a pulpit and was a seasoned preacher it was through stewardship bit by bit by bit and using their faith to bring increase and i want to especially speak to those of you that are over 60 because you need to keep increasing you need to keep investing it's not time to say oh well yep i'll just bury my talents now because after all i'm 60. no god wants you to look for ways that you can increase right victoria your best years are ahead of you you're getting ready to soar and i just want to say that especially to those of you that are in 60s 70s 80s because you should always have an expectation to increase that's going to take stewarding what the lord has given you and when you when you're older when you are 60s 70s and 80s 90s you get to do more with less so you have more increase with less effort but it still takes investment there's never a time when we hold back and especially in this day and age we need all hands on deck there is a tremendous increase coming how many of you have been investing into the presence of jesus in your personal worship time because you know you know that he is there you believe that he is there and so you invest in your worship and your time with him and you start seeing accelerated presence you will get an increase of presence in this season because of your investment because of your stewardship of of that truth when you pray for the sick more and more people nancy more and more people are going to get miracles of healing because you've been faithful to make investment kay and lynn you know more answered prayers you know greater breakthroughs than ever before because you've been faithful to make investment it's increased time and this body is going to greatly increase it's going to greatly increase so i just want to bless you how many of you would like a grace to steward what's been put in your hands so that you can have increase so father in the name of jesus i just bless your people with increase i thank you lord god that is coming on them now that

celebration amen the father said well done good and faithful servant enter into my joy yeah celebration all right we're going to receive our morning tides and offerings again i just want you to sow into increase for this season we've been very intentional about it in the house this month um because when you preach the word the lord confirms with signs following so when you preach on increase
