of god already praise sets the atmosphere for god to do what he wants to do is that all right he said he would do what and habit what did he say do he would live where the praises are he inhabits the praises of his people you have not praised him enough until you've been blamed of giving them too much glory you've not praised them enough until people are looking at you out of the side of their eyes you've not given him enough glory until your neighbor wants you to sit down because that's enough maybe you can sit down but when i think about the fact that i've been on my way to hell that i was gonna die that i should have been dead god's been good saying yes hallelujah amen all right all right what almighty god we serve amen amen amen we're gonna move on with the service because y'all

purpose now his dad's controller i mean for major organization and all that kind of stuff and you know you don't have to look further when your dad is a math genius and uh and knows business and dad has an mba you're gonna get your mba too or okay so you'll go study business finance at uncc then you'll go and get your mba and all that kind of stuff man i'm so proud of you and i am so proud of you all right and i want to i want to feature these guys on purpose we're getting ready to have our own videos for exhortations but i really do want the world to know and this is no knock on anybody of any other ethnicity but they need to know that it's still some young black men that know how to conduct himself that's doing it right that's honoring god okay clean shaven looking good all right loving god so that's what we need and you don't know who he will impact today somebody will stream on it's a lot of people that watch us on television and online and some come here to the church somebody will see this and they will say that's what i aspire to be that's what dreams are made of trey i'm so proud of you and i'm glad you're staying in charlotte that's great that's great that's good give them a hand cut that's wonderful so let's just add a a scripture to that i want to talk this morning about faithfulness during the offering and then we're going to get into our sunday morning message but i want you to know that faithfulness will pay off dave it works and i know you know that dave junior i want you to look at job chapter eight verse number seven y'all know we're a word church so we're gonna just get in the word um in here and then we're gonna go to the message and i think we'll be very timely today uh those of you who are members it's time for camp kingdom amen and so after service today i want you to meet sister nicole phope and sister branham over here so they could talk about the logistics of summer camp and things of that nature but listen to what the bible says in job eight and seven it says though your beginning was small is that all right yet thy ladder in will do what greatly increase though you're beginning to see though your beginning be small what's going to happen in your ladder in it's going to greatly increase how many i just feel led of god that's for you this morning amen and you're doing it too faithfulness right small beginnings there's another prophet that said despise not the day of small begin you know where this this 12 acre campus church started with with with highest ratings on fox tv for religious program you all know where we started in my counseling practice small beginners tanya you were there small beginners few chairs a few people who just love jesus just wanted to do right by their husbands and wives wanted to honor god came together and it was birth right but though your beginning would be small don't give up in the beginning right your ladder end will do what to you greatly increase it gets better it gets better if i stay what faithful to god see if i could do this proverbs i think 28 and 20. we all put that on the screen just real fast all right because we're talking about faithfulness during the offering exhortation how did trey get a 5 000 scholarship from taco bell being faithful i bet you he was going to work on time and honoring god i bet you that was what he was doing somebody would have said that's just a little piece of job for a high school student well i bet you he managed that piece of job right and somebody's going to be able to buy some books you know defray the cost of at least a semester if not two right yeah because you were faithful you'd be faithful the faithful the bible says in proverbs 28 and 20 will do what abound with blessings on this one there are things that come and occur because you are faithful you abound with lessons my wife didn't just get a mother's day gift this year okay she got her mother's day gift but she got what i call mother's day aftermath see there's a mother's day aftermath in the rogers household so later this week she got another delivery but you know why she got another delivery because she had been faithful to god and her husband and when you're faithful you know what happens people start liking you i'm just teaching out of my heart during the offering when you're faithful and you do what you're supposed people start being like man let me figure out how i could do something for her she's you know yolanda you've been faithful elon yolanda is just on my mind i just want to do something for yolanda god's the same way y'all we get ready to move forward in the service but if you'll be faithful to him you will abound with blessings god has no problem with you having the kind of cars you like the kind of homes you want to live in you know some of you like you know using certain ladies i'm sure pocket books and things of that nature i i just i don't preach against that amen because god has no problem with the things you like he has no problem with you enjoying uh first timothy 6 17 he gives us all things to uh enjoy as long as it doesn't get ahead of god right and he will cause you to abound with blessings and it's not just material sometimes a blessing i don't know about you all but a blessing for me is hanging out here on sunday this is a blessing we don't have to be underground like a communistic country this is a blessing right and we are bound with blessings god says if you'll be faithful and what else could we be faithful in pastor well we can be faithful in our giving into good ground we can be faithful in giving to church where money is used appropriately where the kingdom of god is promoted we can be faithful and honoring god with the tool of our finances because if we are faithful in doing that we have nothing to expect but good to come out of it i want you to look at mark iv they were doing the recording for the television and i used this as an exhortation and i want to give it to you this morning then we're going to get into our message but over in mark chapter 4 the bible says it so well in in in in terms of seed and soil how many all know it's got to be on good ground verse number seven says and some fell among thorns thorns grew up and choke it and it yielded how much fruit no fruit how much fruit no fruit y'all do we need to be thoughtful about where our tithing offering go do we need to be thoughtful about where our resources go some of you give to a person that says they're poor just because you have pity you need to pray and ask god if god told you to do that because you might be hampering their growth did you know that maybe they're in a season of chastening maybe they're in that situation because they dishonored god and they need to run back to the cross and you're coming and passing them out 25 to make things easier and better did god tell you to do that he also says give to the poor does he not it ought to be spirit-led amen some of you would never give to somebody who's rich but you missed it the bible says he who has more will be given that's how you put a pull on someone's grace you sow into abundance and guess what you read abundance genesis 1 and 11 every seed produces after its own kind and then you still give to the poor and you give to whomever god tells you to give does that make sense you sow in the ground where he tells you to sow well i equate that sakara to sowing into good churches why is the church getting your money that's not open i don't understand that i mean are you sustaining them while the pastor's at his beach house no they need to open up and disciple people and help people out is walmart open is disney world open do y'all think the church ought to be did y'all know the abortion clinic never closed do you know in in new york for african americans for black people we are in birth decline i went to the margaret singer clinic saw a woman and i said it was with much love and grace or the night before i got there nine months pregnant because they had passed a law allowing people to abort their babies up to however long nine months pregnant go in and abort her baby and some of you cringe at that because you say well godly that's a human being well he was a human being before he became nine months same scenario it just gives you more of a hit because you see it on the outside right well those clinics never close god's churches need to be open serving people preaching the gospel discipling people are you listening to me and if that's the case then where should our seed go we'll read verse number eight i hope this is helpful tell somebody he's not about your money very important that you understand that and others fell on what kind of ground good ground what is good ground always remember this ground that produces that's all good ground is how do you know something is good ground it's ground that produces do you plant seed in red clay dirt no that's not what kind of ground it's not good ground do you plant seed and ground by which helps your daughter keep her virginity though yeah that's probably good ground yeah you want your sons around trey and reggie and the rest of you because you know what that's good ground the the existence of this church is good for the success of others does that make sense i got some older and younger graduates shaylee you stand up i'm so proud of her um coming through dental school here and um you know graduated yesterday with that credential and just so proud but you know i remember shayla coming up through the ministry another one you know and i saw her make those godly adjustments and fall in love with god you see what i'm saying so proud of her i'm proud of her i'm proud of her mom but you know what that is all a product of the grace of god but it's a product of influence and what kind of ground good ground thank you shayla you know you need your wives husbands around dainty soft women you need husbands your husband or wives your husband's around solid stalwart godly men none of the brothers at this church rubbernecking well did you see that no cause if we see we to beat them up not over here you can't do that over here yeah hey hey bro what's your problem man that's my sister in the lord you we don't do that here amen good ground good problem so you keep your brother your men around you keep your kids in something safe and healthy you keep your resources going to the church that's preaching the gospel of jesus christ on television so that people who you will never meet can get born again and come to know jesus they write letters to the church all the time what about that letter we just got from the gentleman who'd been sentenced to prison for 60 years and watches this telecast every single day and talked about how it literally changed his life i don't know if i'll ever meet him in person i hope i hope i will i don't know but i tell you what because your seat has kept this broadcast going in prison systems and going in places where the gospel could not go especially during covent right people are being helped how many all know good ground is simply ground that does what produces and what do you get in return it yields fruit that springs up and increase brought forth some 30 something 60 and somewhat 100 fold that's enough for the exhortation trey really taught it for me with that wonderful scholarship because he had been faithful y'all if you'll be faithful over few what happens next he's going to make you rule over many it's offering time come on let's put our exhortation on the screen our confession will you say it with me come on i'm blessed in the city blessed in the field blessed coming in and blessed going out i'm blessed in the basket and blessed in the store my bank accounts investments health and relationships flourish the blessing of the lord overtake me and all areas of my do you believe that this morning i do i believe that i believe that amen that's based off of deuteronomy 28 1-14 all right these nice gentlemen are coming now to receive your morning offering amen we're going to ask you to sow in um in the fashion by which the spirit of god leads you to soul amen fashion by which the spirit of god leads you to so amen definitely want to thank you those you who sowed into the resources to help israel what a blessing amen and everything in between and we continue to give god glory uh for all that he has done and is yet doing all right praising come on and sing a little bit whatever you guys

righteousness the shield of faith the sword of the spirit the helmet of salvation we have love and our faith works by love we have keys to the kingdom and we begin to bind that devil every spirit

let's go back to matthew 24 and i will tell you we are going to teach topical i'm not going to stay in any one passage i plan to float around as i'm led but i believe that this is going to be a strong

off amen so be believing with me for utterance this morning because i believe it's going to be helpful we've been talking about the anointing right and i believe that this is going to just really propel you into god's purpose and plan for your life uh and also answer some questions about where we are socially and culturally so over in matthew chapter 24 the bible says and jesse answered uh excuse me jesus answered and said it to them t take heed that no one do what deceive you matthew 24 and 4 jesus answered and said to him take heed that no one deceives you remember that from eight o'clock service we are in a time of great deception take heed though that you don't get deceived christian and you will hear of wars and rumors of war anybody hear of any wars lately i think we heard of a few wars i think we have seen some wars i think we sometimes equate war to just an international battle and that is going on as well as we see over in israel uh that that they are under a massive attack right now but but a war is what goes on in our streets amen when there is lawlessness did y'all know that yeah the tearing down of property the the the open shows amen those are wars amen uh anything anti-human being is a war right so he said you would see you would hear wars and rumors of wars but he said to the christian in this see that you are not troubled to the believer to the person that has given his or her heart to the lord make sure that this does not scare you i never once during 2020 walked around saying these are scary times i didn't say that i acknowledged what others were battling i i considered compassionately what people are going through and uh but y'all i've been quoting psalm 91 all year long that no plague would befall me and no evil come now cause i am not trouble verse 16 of psalm 91 with what kind of life long life what does he do he's satisfied we have a promise so he says see that you are not troubled not deceive but see that you are not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet all of this stuff jesus promised was going to occur when everything started going on in the nation and socially you know what i did i opened up my bible i looked at the word and i said ah there it is yeah god told me he told me what was going on he told me what was good what was going to occur in this time and season why because we are in the last days and in the last days what kind of times were going to happen perilous same word difficult times would come the bible told you projected that this was going to occur yet jesus gave us a promise and said see that you are not troubled see or you are not dismayed let's keep reading and i'll give you my subject for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet for nation will rise against nation have we seen that kingdom against kingdom and here's my line for today's message and there will be famines there will be shortages so i want to talk for a few minutes this afternoon from the thought the opportunity in shortage because he told me not to be troubled so that must mean that shortage is a lob for the christian that there is a god-ordained opportunity in short if you know anything even about american history many of your national companies multi-billion dollar corporations had their inception during the greatest downfall of america are you listening to me because they took advantage of the opportunity in shortage i do not make light of this at all but i was looking at forbes uh four or five six billionaires made during the covet well some mass company hello some pharmaceutical company you know what they did they got in the gap of a need of a shortfall they solved the problem as they would would see it are you following me so back to the kingdom of god he said there would be famines and for the sake of finishing that verse there would be pestilences microscopic bugs and sicknesses and diseases there would be pestilences and earthquakes and what various places we'll teach that out on another sunday but today i want to deal with that concept of there will be famines how many all know that's inevitable now the first thing i want you to understand as i teach this word is that there is i'm going to contradict myself for a second there is absolutely no shortage but there is no shortage for the people of god who are in the kingdom of god are you all with me there's no shortage for us we are if you will a non-participant in the shortage well pastor gay where where where do you get that philosophy from we don't have time to go to all these scriptures but but just just just take my word or look it up jesus said it so well he said my kingdom is not of this world he said i'm not a participant in this world in fact he told us that we are in this world but we also are not of this world in john 17 5 he prayed for us in this world so there is a shortage in this world of a multiplicity of things a multitude of things by which the world is in shortage but in the kingdom of god there is no shortage are you all with me now somebody don't like what i just said because well y'all live here too how y'all going well yeah but what you mean there was a gas shortage just this this past week we all please put my little picture up for a second there was a gas shortage just this past week pastor gabe how could you stand up there so buoyantly and declare that there is is no shortage well you know i kind of put this picture up there because my wife and i uh got gas five out of seven days this week various vehicles or whatever we was driving all of them got gassed up so on the last day that i decided to get the gas that i didn't need just to prove a point to y'all i took a selfie i said because the saints need to be reminded who we are and whose we are our citizenship is in heaven philippians 3 and 20 and you ought to shout about the reality that our god will supply all of our needs according to his riches and glory now i'm gonna get up and drive to work every day because in the kingdom there is no shortage where are you getting that from what if everybody's running out god will tuck a gas station in your neighborhood where nobody else knows it exists and you'll be buttered up for the next two weeks however long it's going to take for a pipeline to refuel you and you'll get everything you need because there is no shortage you all can take that picture now not for the kingdom not for believers there is no shortage and i'm going to prove that in scripture today i'm going to boilingly prove to you that the people of god always had when everybody else didn't have that is one of the benefits bless the lord and forget not his well what's a benefit come on when you go to the hospital come on you don't pay your own bill if you got some benefits am i in the house today come on if you got some warranty on your vehicles you don't fix it with your own money amen you just take that truck back and tell them put it on the list cause you got some [Applause] that's a benefit to the believer well what if what if what if there's no what if for us can i let you in on a secret that's gonna blow your natural mind if you're as busy as me staying home a few days wouldn't bother you [Music] wouldn't hurt my feelings nobody can go anywhere oh my god yes give me some coffee and a danish in my patio that i've been waiting to sit on for the last 10 years i went out on the patio yesterday for the first time i know in a long long time i was so excited to be out there on that patio y'all oh my god i was just sopping it up it was so awesome i told all the kids and my wife i said y'all come out here i said this is amazing look at the furniture we bought when we moved in come on out here and sit down on it try it out it hadn't even been broken yet i didn't say all that but the furniture is still plush we don't get the scent in it and so everybody started playing and the kids and my wife they just started passing the balls to each other they're having a good time and man i was so excited to be outside and in a neat space and then a fit of rage got a hold of me so they were just passing the ball then i took the ball and i started throwing bullets i started man it turned into dodge ball i was throwing balls at all my kids and my wife very hard just i got so happy one time throwing that christian i jumped in the air rev back so please give me three days off you all listening to me and see some of you you need to start changing your perspective when things don't work out the way you thought or wish it were to work maybe god's in the details because all things work together for the good of those who love god you had to stay home that day and that's the day the devil had an accident planned for you you had to stay home that day and that's the day the enemy had another strategy for you but thanks be under god he got ahead of the devil and he didn't allow him to do what he wanted to do in your life that's just a hint because sometimes you're praying against something that god's using to bless you oh you missed it oh i said sometimes you're praying against something god's using the blessing come on pastor rondy the water is filling up your living room then an ordinance comes out that says everybody that had water this high gets an incentive on their new house sometimes you're praying against something that god is using to bless you every college student in a north carolina city that didn't have gas for two days has a full scholarship oh praise god sometimes god is setting you up and some of y'all don't believe that and i'm not a socialist in fact i'm preaching against socialism today i am not a socialist i don't believe that you ought to take from somebody that has bust their hips to make it to the top and give it to somebody that wants to sit at home and burp i don't believe in that philosophy hello but i will tell you this this government is giving you money for nothing they're giving you stuff just because you're breathing [Applause] the opportunity y'all catching up with me now the opportunity in shortage they're just passing money out passing resources out to businesses you can have your staff on staff and get get a paycheck protection loan and then they'll they just forgive you loans just all kinds of stuff they're doing for people to help you in some ways and in other ways and make your government dependent companies can't find workers why would i go to work you crazy i'm gonna go flip a burger and they're giving me twice what i was going to make over there why can't find workers got to give people bonuses y'all that is your opportunity in the shortage won't you go and be faithful and outwork everybody and climb the ladder while all the other folks staying at home getting a handout won't you go and be outstanding and let the power of god move you to the top no get me off of unemployment amen i don't even like the sound of unemployment hallelujah over in genesis 21 because famine is a reoccurring theme in scripture and in this world but i want you to see how the believers were taken care of can we go to genesis 41-57 yo somebody say famine ain't nothing new and can i say something to my mahogany colored people in the room y'all we know how to make it is anybody here do you know where you came from even in the days of y'all anybody that can make hog intestines taste good because that's the only thing they threw at you and you made it popular we know how to make it i'm not saying that in snide way either we know how to come through troubled times come on this is why i don't give people a pass because they come over here and i thank god that to all of my members who are who are uh who are white and i got some sweet ones even in right now and they know that but uh they know they come over here and they be just like everybody else you know why because you know you might be in the minority over here but guess what where most of everybody in here goes you're in the minority all the time when you go work at the the the company the healthcare company or wherever you want in in one in 308 and so we got to get out of all of that all of that extra stuff all of that we need to make this accommodation i would come if the music was this way i would come if they would do more of that why don't you come because this is where you would meet god are you with me but back to today's point we know how to make it my jewish brothers and sisters the holocaust you can come through the holocaust but you know what my jewish brothers and sisters do so well they get some education because no matter where they get moved around they can always hang their shingle they got the doctors they got the lawyers they got the whomever they all they have always specialized in that in fact when i was getting my phd i went and interviewed one of the rabbis here in the city as a part of my cultural immersion project and we had that conversation and and the individual said to me said this is what we value we value education so they always have legacy in that space so mr bernstein owns the law practice and he passes it down to mr bernstein jr and he passes down to mr bernstein iii or mrs right somebody carrying that lineage meanwhile they built that in dilworth where the property value has gone up and they never sell it they don't let people come and re-gentrify and give them 12 000 more and steal your gold property just because somebody gave them by the time you paid taxes on it you take home six thousand dollars and 25 cents but you're rich right i'm ministering out of my heart but i'm preaching the word right right so back to today's point though famine ain't nothing new and we got to get above it in the kingdom because we are not of this world look at it so all the countries came to the man of god opportunity and shortage there was a famine in egypt but where did everybody have to go y'all everybody had to come to joseph everybody had to come to joseph who did everybody have to come to joseph who had the answer for their issue joseph in fact the bible says joseph gathered up all the money read it he got all the cattle he got everything he started bartering with them they had run out of stuff and they was like man just have mercy on us can we do this for everybody had to come to joseph they came to joseph to buy grain because the famine was what y'all it was severe weirdo and all the lens well let's rewind the tape and go to some of joseph's forefathers go to genesis 12 and 10. he came after them but you may as well see it because famine ain't nothing new are y'all walking with me because then i'm going to show you your opportunity but i got to build a case is that okay genesis 12 and 10. now there was a what in the land what was there in the land church there was shortage shortage they could we can't they well they can't get gas but they couldn't get no hay for their horses they couldn't get any resources for their cattle follow me there was a famine in the land and abram went down to egypt to dwell there because the famine was what severe in the land god will give you strategy as to where to go on what to do when famine occurs because there was a what in the land then he started making mistakes saying sarah was you know his sister not his wife but that's another lesson go to genesis 26 and one though god will give you strategy come on we're walking through scripture walking through scripture genesis 26 and law and one are you all there amen over in genesis 26 and 1 some translations say and there was another famine in the land the new king james says it so well there was a famine in the land besides the first famine that was in the days of abraham did y'all see that so these are then the days of isaac so now much like his dad and much like those in his lineage he is dealing with the same pattern of famine yo it ain't nothing new so we are not shocked by which where we are today because this is nothing new we are ahead we are aimos three and seven people i don't do anything unless i first reveal it to my sons the prophet we are ahead y'all just because they started uh releasing restrictions and all these things that they're doing in the world and you can do this now and you can do that now i did not run out there and say hip hip hooray i didn't i didn't because the bible says there will be peace and safety then sudden destruction if you know anything about end times all of this is a leading to the next event this is just one event what you came through over the last year and a half which i don't make light of is simply one event on the calendar of end times there'd be war there'd be famines all kinds of stuff would occur the bible assured that but what do we hold on to see that you not be troubled troubled in anxiousness deceived and troubled and in despair how are we going to make it no i know how we're going to make it there is as daniel said a god in heaven that's how we make it and we live in a kingdom remember thursday night's bible study don't resist the faith walk many of you want to walk by what you can see feel and touch whoo so glad things are back to normal you better get some spiritual intuition i told you on a prayer call this past wednesday i said y'all why are you worried about getting some gas won't you make sure you have some groceries you're going to eat gas are you listening to me don't you make sure that you have a bunch of non-perishables and that you are kingdom minded are you with me all your vitamins and supplements are in the house in plenty are you following me you are not coming to crisis just because something shut down why because you are in a deceptive world you are in a world that's driven by money by status you are in a world that will do anything to pad and fuel their pocketbooks and i don't say that as a political statement i say that as a kingdom state i'm in no party i'm in the kingdom of god are you listening to me i've seen republican presidents go out of office and in a month or two before they go out of offices gas prices go sky high well how did those prices and why did they go so high because they were oil guys are y'all getting this special interest are you getting this so you are not contingent on a government you're not contingent on a world system i'm sorry this is just switching kingdoms revisited this is just coming into the kingdom of god revisiting now you can sleep on me if you want to but when the next crisis come down come calling me talk about what we're going to do i'm trying to tool you today as to how to perform in this wicked world the world is wicked world is evil the world would choose evil over right because of depravity are you listening to me i hope i'm not born you amen over in genesis 26 and 1 what was their church a famine and i'm going to give you momentarily four points i won't be long but i'm gonna give you four points things that you should do to take advantage of your opportunity in famine but let me just read around isaac's story just to fuel you it leads you into that the bible says in genesis 26 and 12 then isaac did what what did isaac do church isaac sold somebody say don't forget that we'll get there later he sold in that land and reaped in the same year during the famine not after the famine he reaped in the same year during the famine a hundredfold now everybody else was struggling but isaac come on well don't stop reading there because he he read the hundredfold but let's look and see what happened to isaac he read the hundredfold and the lord did what bless him now let's look at his stages of blessing development verse number 13. the man during famine began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous smack dab in the middle of famine they had to come to joseph they had to come to isaac are y'all getting some trends here they had to come the people who had the blessing on their life he kept on prospering his businesses didn't go under come on he didn't get laid off come on and if he got laid off he got laid off to get another job with double the salary his marriage didn't fall apart in fact his marriage got enhanced because he and his wife was able to spend more time together how y'all know shutting down ain't all bad right they shut everything down yes yes [Music] baby it's a shutdown what we gonna do it's a shutdown what can we do any recreation anything out there see there's a shutdown go for a walk i'm just throwing y'all a lob no i'm not sorry no where's your mindset right famine is not scary for us he became how wealthy very wealthy verse 14 look at it for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and all of his workers were still gainfully employed yo when this stuff happened last year do you know we didn't lay off a soul do you know all of our contractors oh the sweet ladies and i'm not boasting in us but the sweet ladies that clean our church hispanic ladies they have their company they they contract and clean the church oh they were so excited and pleased and happy and thankful and grateful oh because guess what all of many of our others what did they say they had just shut down they just said can't can't do anything just shut down are you getting this but the church god's people and i didn't go on tv or in church and start begging for a bunch of money either because god is your source you don't shut down your business ought to be flourishing y'all do you understand the opportunity and famine you ought to get all kind of creative ideas as to how to be the lifter of this culture and do well doing it it's quiet but i'm doing better than y'all talking amen it's some good stuff and the bible says that not only did they do that but look at verse number 22 because this is going to be in my points the bible says in verse 21 first then they dug another well look at verse number 22 and they moved from there and they dug another will and they did not quarrel over it so he called its name rehoboth because he said for now for now the lord has made room for us and we shall be fruitful right there in the land of famine but they dug another well why would i sit home socialism on unemployment instead of digging my wells of entrepreneurship instead of digging my wells of success instead of digging my walls of believing god because after all he promised to bless the work of your hands come on somebody shout give god something to work with all right come on let's walk through this thing this is the opportunity in famine now watch this supply and demand god creates demand for your supply he creates the demand for your supply i believe it's luke 17 21 don't have time to go there i'm just going off of memory but he creates demand for your supply he says the kingdom is in you amen the kingdom is on the inside of you and so there's going to become a day in a time by which the thing by which you have that god gave you would come into demand people would need what you have been called to do are y'all going to stick with me through this there would be a pull on what you have to offer are you all getting this i will not toot my own horn i want you to hear this very humbly and very soberly and i'm not doing this to get more business because it's not that i need any so really hear me soberly i'm not doing it for that reason although i'm not cutting business off just hear me real soberly when i say this but um you know years ago the lord told me to get in mental health years ago the lord told me that was a part of my calling it was hard it was difficult beyond college i went to school six more years i mean it was rigorous it was difficult but i knew god had me on an assignment so i did what the lord told me to do now once i did that catch this your opportunity and shortage let me tell you what started happening there became multitudes of families and individuals that started seeking out not only a phd but a phd licensed clinician who also happened to be a christian uh-oh who also happened to be a male are y'all getting that yes so when you go to the panels today try it when you get home very few male black christian phds on the insurance pills you know what the lord did he has made room for you y'all going to catch up he made room for who he called you to be listen to me young people that's why you go become a dentist because you're going to come in demand in a certain season well how did that blossom then i won't say the names for the purpose of the tape but then national sports leagues started reaching out to me and they were looking for a black male who was licensed with a phd who could also articulate and go city to city and train and work with and help and consult and do all that kind of stuff and nobody fit the bill except yours truth now i'm taking you somewhere if you stay with me because i'm telling you your opportunity is in shortage how did that opportunity come to pass one fateful day i was invited with one of my colleagues happened to be a psychiatrist he's an md they they invited us to do a state conference plenary talk they said we'd like you to come and and and we did a talk on best practices and christian counseling all right he talked about the the medical side of things i talk about the psycho psychotherapeutic side of things we did that talk side by side to a a a a a big audience of people and we did that talk now in that audience somebody's gonna catch hold of this in that audience was the same man that did my interview in new york i just didn't know he was in that audience but four or five years ago years later rather that same person who was sitting in that audience when i got to new york to do my consulting interview before the panel was the same person when i walked through the door and said oh i know him we got to get him he's the right one what am i saying if you conduct yourself when nobody else is looking when you think nobody else has you on your mind if you'll be faithful and you will not bow down you do best practices in christian i didn't denounce my belief system i didn't go up there and do some freudian theory of counseling i remained who i was in god and that opened the door wide open and the rest is history are you all getting this it's not about me come on take your seat it's about you recognizing that your opportunity is going to come candace because of a gap can i tell you something black women y'all are in demand i'm telling you my best friend had a prophetic word on it he was dead on but y'all the black woman in this culture up until now you guys have been the double minority but y'all now the culture after all this strife and all this stuff has happened they are oiled and ready to exemplify that they support now if you need to get rid of some of your guilt by passing over 10 million dollars to me how many all know how to take it if you need to patronize my black woman business so you can feel good about yourself having not done right for the last 45 years how many all know i will no you're all in season mel does that make sense the opportunity isn't shortage that's what we've got to do that thing that i sent out to y'all that's why we got to do it we got to do it because you got to take advantage of your moment you got to get in the cracks of god has smiled on me y'all read it again look at it for he called his name rehoboth because he said for now the lord has done what made rome y'all rehoboth is more than a fancy name people use for churches some people call their church rehoboth baptist church or something like that it's beyond just a name for a church rehoboth literally means the lord has made room for you but where did he make room for you in shortage in shortage in shortage it's your moment it's your time are you listening to me in fact if you listen to me preach this message you probably have a moment in a time right now amen because your opportunity is going to come relative to the shortage and the famine in the land i want to share this with you because god specializes in transforming people from obscurity to notoriety from lack to abundance that's what he specializes in and i asked the lord to just really walk me through this amen and i won't be long y'all but i asked him to walk me through this because you need to see biblical examples just one or two of how god can take somebody out of a hill i don't care if you're black red yellow white i don't care your background god can take somebody from nothing to something huge and it don't take him long and there are moments in your life where you're being watched amen by divine providence of god and you don't even know it where god is connecting dots and you don't even know it where somebody could be sitting in this church right now that's on assignment to bless your life and you don't and you bump into them on your way to the back you don't even know you have no idea all of the links in the spirit realm that come together that set you up to receive what god would have you to receive now let's put a godly balance on this message why is he going to bless you he blesses you to be a blessing he blesses you so you can help build that house we're building for pregnant moms are you listening to me he blesses you so that you can help with the mission he blesses you so that you can help perpetuate the kingdom agenda i'm telling you what i'm talking about when god put me in those arenas and places where he put me he put me in audience with certain people i know they wouldn't have heard the gospel had he not put somebody like me there but he knew that when he put me there i wouldn't be ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ no when i presented before the team owners i didn't get up and leave christ out oh no no no jesus came up he came in the room psychology and all now let's talk a little bit about jesus then afterwards some of them pulled me to the side i like what you because there's some secret disciples out there you all missed it yo i got more word than you got time understand that joseph who got jesus's body you know what he was a secret disciple but don't stop there he was a rich secret disciple he showed up and inquired of the governor may i have how did he get jesus's body in his tomb in history no jesus was of some value they cast life for his clothes so how did he get the body of the miracle worker all right he had influence i said he had influence they listened to him but you know what the bible calls him a secret disciple there are some secret disciples that got their eyes on you and you don't even know it you work a job you think it's all secular there's some christians in here there's some people on that job right now that's just like yeah no we i want him on my team something about that guy that's different won't you slip up in the break room and say i love the lord just say it by accident next week stop being so vague and invasive of your walk with christ why don't you try that don't you slip up and say i love the lord and i love my wife everybody else talking about the foolishness they're getting in won't you be the young lady i said no no no actually me and benny we going out this friday how many all know that's a show stopper we need some show stoppers you're not offensive we don't go with the wave come on right because the lord has made what for us room now go go with me now go with me now i pray that this is blessing you go with me to um a sec first samuel 18 23 i think is where i want you to go first samuel 18 23 oh boy it's getting good in here today because all i'm talking about is your opportunity to all my young people in the room i want you to hear me to all my middle-aged people in the room i want you to hear me to all my older people in the room what do i want you to do i want you to hear me because god's not leaving anybody out in here there is an opportunity where in shortage now god specializes in taking people from obscurity and taking people from poverty and taking people from nothing he likes using people who everybody else says will never be i don't i mean he just does he says i choose the foolish things of this world to do what confound the wise so i do that on purpose he likes getting people that that don't have enough he likes getting people that have a background aren't you glad for the blood of jesus anybody besides me had a background i had a background of not doing right in my life but the blood of jesus redeemed and for some reason i don't know what that is but like god loves taking some folk who he he got born again amen they didn't have anything before they met him i figured the reason out because he can get all the glory for what they have produced because those are the people who would say if it had not been for the lord that was on my side man it was number god that got me out of the project come on it was number god that got me out of that situation no i didn't measure up god loves using people like that and he'll turn him into a pastor a president a governor a first lady he'll turn him into a mother of four and they'll raise a successful family he loves that and i want to show you that in scripture because you all think about king david and i can tell i have your attention that's all you visualize him as but let's look at his track record let's look at his storyline and let's learn something about your opportunity so saul's servants spoke these words in the hearing of david and david said does it seem to you a life thing to be a king's son-in-law paul's right there the king had said he was going to allow david to marry macau because he really wanted to give him the macau to throw him off right so jonathan comes and tells him this story and david said man are you kidding me are you thinking this a life thing for me to be the king's son-in-law anybody in here ever got that opportunity and you was like who me this ain't no small thing they asked for me and david said does it seem like a light thing to be the king's son-in-law why david see i am seeing i am poor and lightly esteemed did y'all get that you know the highlight underline that everybody in here uh who's coming from nothing going to something david said seeing that i am what poor and lightly esteemed all right now here is poor david shoveling sheep's mess poor david who doesn't qualify because he doesn't have the credentials poor david who doesn't have enough because he doesn't have the right family pedigree here is poor david who messed some stuff up quote-unquote because he's just not good enough as a matter of fact you talk about some low self-esteem even when samuel came to anoint the next king he didn't pay no attention to david he's looking at eliav or whoever else was in the house looking at david's other brothers right and the only thing that made him consider david is the spirit of god said there must be another one because my spirit's not allowing me to anoint these guys there's got to be somebody else do you have another son and jesse talk about low self-esteem his own dad didn't see him as great his dad was like no get the guys with the big biceps i'm sure you came for one of them i know yeah there is one but he in the backyard how many all know some of us came from the backyard oh hallelujah there is one in the backyard there's one back there that nobody could be using in a time like this oh if you came from the background you ought to shout hallelujah he said there is one in the backyard am i teaching all right say cool there's one who don't qualify there's one that you couldn't possibly want him i mean you couldn't possibly be thinking about him but how y'all know with man it's impossible but with god and i'm a thing and i'm possible you missed that revelation i said i'm a fang and i'm possible god can possibly use me if i'll yield myself to him god can possibly bless me if i'll give him my best self are y'all getting this revelation because he said pam i'm poor and what am i lightly esteemed let me teach a little i'll preach a little while pastor what's your point well let's see the god variable okay so here is poor and lightly esteemed david right then everybody say god so you started out as poor lightly esteemed but don't even try to figure out how you're going to get there just say god yeah you start out with nothing you start out with not even a boyfriend but then god right you start out with nothing you start out not knowing nothing you don't have the right mama don't even know who your dad is but then now let's see what happens on the other side of god go to first chronicles 29 and 28. let's just see what happens on the other side of god now the contemporary or english version says it well i love the way cev says it all right they're going to put it up there for you though thank you team david was rich no go back to the previous verse they didn't get it go back go back to first samurai 18 23 yeah go on back because yeah go back to first samurai 18 23 please y'all move move fast with me now come on cuz we gotta we gotta get this revelation y'all y'all didn't get this so saul servant spoke these words in the hearing of david and said does it seem to you a light thing this is david talking to be the king son-in-law they want me to work there they want me to be the evp seeing i am a poor enlightenedly esteemed man everybody say then god okay now go back to the other text and i'm gonna read it till y'all get it now you got another shot first chronicles 29 and 28. amen let's go back again ain't no sense in russian until you get to revelation everybody say god now on the other side of god david was rich respect it and live to be an old man it didn't stop there then he passed this kingdom to his son he not only knocked it out the park in his life but he left a legacy for his children but all of that happened after god outpour and lightly esteemed jacob said i came here with a staff and now i'm leaving with two companies y'all i just wish i had a church that could hang with me today i came with just a staff but now i got a bunch of hired servants the only thing i showed up with was a stick but after i got through with god i got a whole army i got people that worked for me now are y'all getting this but what was their what was their edge what did they do right god and they maximize the opportunity in shortage good god amen when nobody else is doing what god called you to do when it's your moment when it's your time that's your opportunity come on let's get one more scripture maybe two more depending on what the lord say then let's get some points and y'all ready to go home is that okay all right so let's see how god feels about himself and his ability to perform is that okay go over to haggai chapter two hey god chapter two this is gonna blow your mind hey god chapter two start at verse number three and let's look at how god feels about himself and his ability is that all right he says who is left among you who saw this temple amen in its former glory this was arupable's temple all right now the temple in his former's glory would have been solomon's temple so god stands up and says to him he says now solomon's temple is amazing but who is it among you that saw this temple in its former glory that is who saw solomon's temple because the people are upset because this current temple don't look nothing like solomon's temple it's kind of ran down it's not what it should be salmon's temple was huge right it was big it was rich and he said and how do you see it now in comparison with it is this not in your eyes as nothing get ready to take your before and after picture y'all gonna catch up with me in a second yet now be strong somebody say remember that point be strong zerubbabel saith the lord and be strong joshua son of jose jehoshaphat the high priest and be strong all the people of the land saith the lord and do what stay home and get unemployment no be strong and work be strong in work for i am with you saith the lord of hosts underline highlight that don't forget that let's see how god feels about himself and what he's going to do with the former you what he's going to do with the current you come on look at it in verse number six for thus said the lord of hosts once more it is in a little while somebody say in a little while somebody say we don't have long yeah in a little while i will shake heaven and earth the sea and dry land everybody say opportunity and i will shake all nations and they shall come to the desire of what all nations what you have they're going to need and i will fill this temple with glory saith the lord of hosts now we're getting prophetic i'm gonna fill it with glory and how does god feel about himself and his resources how does he feel about his ability to supply your needs how does he feel about your ability to get gas to us the silver is mine the goat is mine sayeth the lord and the glory of the latter house will be what greater than the former i want you to think about your ladder house i want you to think about where god is taking you come on somebody the glory of this house where he's moving you to is going to be greater than that of where he brought you from hallelujah and i'm not just talking about a carnal house either you are a house you are a temple of the living god the glory of you is going to be greater in your future than where it was in your past come on somebody god's got some big things on his mind for you because the silver is mine the gold is mine god has resources and the glory of the what latter house is going to be now you can you can receive that for your house too amen but i'm talking about your personal house so there are four things and i close we're out of time that's enough for today four things that will maximize your opportunity and shortage four things four things i want to leave with you and they're all in the scriptures that i read and you can play bible trivia and see if you can find them but they're all in the scriptures i already read to you four things dave and we're going home all right number one these are the things that are going to maximize your opportunity and shortage how many y'all know you've been anointed for this time yeah you've been anointed to do what solve a problem why was david so successful because he killed goliath what did he do church he solved the problem you don't have time to sit home and just collect you've been anointed to do what solve a problem we won't go to all these scriptures just four quick points number one four things that will maximize your opportunity and shortage number one wisdom with a motive to please god wisdom with a what motive to please god why do you want to be wealthy why why do you want to have more why why do you why do you even want to get married people say lord i pastor i'm believing god to bless me with a husband well what do you want a husband for just so you can have somebody to kiss because god marries purposes are you getting this why do you want a new job so you can hoard more or so you can have a certain status no god gives people jobs and bonuses to bless the kingdom are you with me to help somebody else out you are blessed to be a so why did you say wisdom pastor gabe you read it on your own free time first kings 3 9-12 because what solomon did and i pray you'll read it this week solomon prayed for wisdom and what did god answer them he said because you asked for this everybody say right motives are you seeing the point come alive because you asked for this you didn't ask for the lives of your enemy you didn't ask for more money y'all sometimes let me just let you in on a secret i go into prayer and i don't pray for anything for gabe i just seek the kingdom of god and those are some of my best days because when i just go after him it's okay to ask for you asking you shall receive so there's nothing wrong with that but sometimes just let your heart get all in at the kingdom father i thank you right now that every visitor i invited the church comes the church uh today no not just so we can get some more of this or have more people to look at or or whatever the case may be but so that they and their families can be made better that's kingdom prayers that's right motives well if you pray with the right motives if you help people with the right motives guess what you'll get all the stuff did you hear what i just said so you are praying for wisdom what kind of wisdom yo it amazes me man somebody finally realized that they should put some hair extensions in a vending machine don't get mad at me i ain't saying nothing about your ear but i said somebody finally caught on that is not a bad idea yeah amen i'm not making fun of anybody i have no hair extensions but somebody finally said man they sell coke out of these they sell cheetos out of these why don't we put some here people can go to a vending machine i was in texas preaching not long ago i saw that i said well my god and they are knocking them down knocking them down people tired of having to drive in the neighborhood just and y'all this was in a mall don't be embarrassed it's okay i said i don't have no problem with hearing i'm not gonna make fun of of your hair amen i don't have anything to say about people's hair i'm very careful about that i'm trying to show you guys though your opportunity this is how people think outside of a box that's true amen i'm trying to figure out how to put spankings in a vending machine like when people are in the mall with their kids acting up somebody will be in a vending machine like this and the mom can go pay for it and then a big mama come out whip your child for you and then just go back in because you aggravated you know i'm trying to figure out how to do that what is that though that's a joke first of all but it's called the wisdom of god sometime remember you're fishing on the wrong side of the boat cashing that on the right side you're doing all this other work over here when you can get the same keep in two minutes if you just get on the anybody here beside me ever sat back and said i i i can't believe i'm doing this good doing this i'm talking about something you do where where is so valuable to other people and to you like man this is just was so easy right you could have done that with your eyes closed but because other people value it my wife and i were down at the super bowl one year and man oh man i tell you the skies opened up i think we was in arizona that time and it was about to rain thousands of people they shut down all up to uptown a sea of people one walgreens had umbrellas how about i bet they met their balance sheet in two hours you know why because we don't care that the umbrella costs 32 dollars i don't know what they was pricing it at but it wasn't cheap but how y'all know when people got up dues ladies don't want they stuff frying up so they was in there buying it by the robes i'm trying to get you to a point and we we use those tertiary things like products and services this is not a business seminar let's talk about the kingdom who's going to solve the issue of abortion let's talk about the kingdom are you ready for this the world it has been crippled by anxiety crippled it's not enough medicine and therapy to solve the anxiety that the world is in now and i'm not making light of that the world is crippled people need help by the groves just to come outside and be normal and all that just all that wickedness that went on world's been crippled by that it's so sad are you with me well who has the solution in the kingdom for that though right who's seeking god saying father i thank you right now show me how to do seminars so that i can help i am i got one coming up no no i'm owning that mountain i got a book coming out to help people get free yeah it comes out at the end of the month help people who in bondage and shackles oh yeah anxiety's in that book sure is oh yeah who's doing it i am could use some help i don't know who else wants to do it but i am i love people i love to see people's marriages stay together i love to see people's kids be okay i love to see people be fine within in and of themselves i love that that makes me happy are you listening to me you need wisdom wisdom solves a problem but with the what kind of motive right motive how many all know we don't do it for money did you hear what i just said no we don't do it for money i'm getting ready close number two work the plan that god gives you do you all remember that i'm closing in a few minutes haggai two and four be strong and do what and work i gave you the scriptures on the front end i'm giving you the points on the back end be strong jeruba be strong and do what and work what did isaac do he dug again y'all remember that he went back and dug up those wells right put it put in your hand to the plow and working it working it yet now be strong as we will saith the lord be strong all you people to lay and say up the lord and do what work work y'all keep it up there for a second be strong and work because that's a good lead into point number three why recognize that god is with you now that's good news he says be strong be strong and work why because i am with you if god be for you who can be against you why wouldn't you work the plan of god knowing you're going to win did y'all get that why wouldn't you work the strategy of god knowing that he gonna grade on a curve just sign up for the class be strong and work you're gonna pass as long as you're working because grace is there for any error you make mercy is there for some mistakes but if you get out there in your work the plan of god if you get out and do what god told you to do you're gonna experience some good success he didn't say he had to be perfect he said just be strong and and work can't be afraid of hard work can't be afraid not a hard work anointed work because the blessing of the lord make it rich without toil god does the work inside of you but you got to give him something to work with man this is a good lesson i'm telling y'all i'm gonna go back and listen to this myself amen number one wisdom with the right motive to please god number two do what work the plan of god number three recognize that who's with you god god is on our side and i like to flip that around and say i'm on god's side i'm with him is that all right we close with this number four and this is not something i made up just because i think it's a neat idea but the bible said of isaac what did he do in that land he sold yes number four so listen to this continually in that land how do you do it continually continually you continue to scatter you so how continually in that land frequently right there in the land of family because where did he get blessed in the land where did god make room for in that lane are y'all getting this where were things working in that land is anybody getting this it wasn't working anywhere else it was working in that land which is a revelation on you being in the land where god put you do you all know i wouldn't be a successful pastor in virginia right now you know why because i'm not assigned to virginia right now i don't know what he'll do in the future but today i'm not supposed to be in virginia i'm supposed to be in charlotte north carolina so in the word to you in this land this is my job this is what god has called me to do in this season of my life you will be fruitful where though in that land does anybody get this amen that is your opportunity in famine that you would honor god that you would look forward to seeing the move of god and the hand of god in your life but all of those things come y'all because we constantly do what god says do all of those things come into fruition this is what i wanted to see proverbs 11 and 24 because we constantly do what god says do everybody say this with me never stop sowing amen never stop sowing come on never stop sowing never never stop sowing friendship love never stop something but right never stop sowing finances never stop honoring god with the best of you amen look at it there is one who scatters yet does what and what does he do don't he increases the more because he does what he scatters so what are you going to do when you got seed coming up in israel you got seed coming up in charlotte come on you guys see coming all over the place there is one who does what scatter yeah increases the more but there's one who withholds more than it is right and what happens to him it leads to poverty read the next verse and we'll close that's enough for today the liberal soul shall be made fat put it in the amplified the generous man is a source of blessing shall be what prosperous and enriched and he who waters will himself be what watered reaping how generosity that he has sown so isaac became rich and more rich and more prosperous and more favored david was a poor man he was a man that not only was poor financially but he was poor in lifestyle he was poor in his disposition and then he met god and on the other side of that he died rich well and blessed in favor with a strong family lineage because there's no sense in you having a ton of money and your family's out of control money is not the optimal thing no sense in you having all this other stuff and your home life doesn't exemplify the grace of god that's why i spend more time teaching discipleship messages than i do financial ones cause y'all finances will come but if you fix home if you fix you and you get in what matters come on raise your kids right that's why i don't just hoop it out on sundays most of the time no let's raise our kids let's honor our wives let's honor our husband let's do all that kind of stuff then everything else will be added unto us the opportunity y'all i'm closing is in shortage and can i ask kingdom people something please y'all this is just like i want to ask you this this is a sincere ass can you please be light at work when everybody else talk about we ain't gonna be able to get gas wednesday can you say something that brings hope girl i got gas last night can we be different this whole message wasn't about gas it's about shortage but can we be different can you use that as an opportunity to say girl you know what come with me to matthew 24. you got a minute the word of god said this would happen it said it said it it promised it there would be famines right why don't we be different and then if you need some gas won't you just go get gas pastor how are we going to get gas is not there i'm challenging you like jesus challenged phillip how phillip how these people going to eat feed them once you get up and feed these people four or five thousand people have no food and their their their their wives and children which means there were more so once you go out once you feed them phillip he failed to test because he started getting in logic never get in logic when you're walking by faith where we gonna get gas from i will have as much gas as i need to fulfill the mission of god i will not run out not at any point i will have gay i will be here thursday i will and it's up to you if you you know you want to conserve gas you know do what you got to do i and i'm not riding the bike either i would be in bible study on thursday night i would not and i got my wife has a bike i'm not riding her bike not riding her bike to church i will be in church on friday you get sweaty doing all of that no no no no i'm riding in the air condition i'm coming to church and i will teach bible study because i will get gas when i need gas when i need gas whatever gas station is closest to me will be oh my god the pipeline just came on you just drove all praise god they'll be taking the plastic off of the gas handles when i drive up if i need gas and until i need gas guess where i'm going home you know why because i'm not nervous and i don't need gas right we serve the ultimate supply church people not church people christians need to get out of logic oh pastor did the covet ever really scare you no i'm a team player so i won't i won't go in places and spaces and disobey rules and amen but i know i read psalm 91. no play comes now y'all the bible really meant that though it's not just the you know but there are a lot of people that had that's true they're all i'm not a lot of people there are a lot of things that happen to a lot of people every day somebody say i'm not a lot of people come on say it again i'm not a lot of people that is not an uncompassionate statement i'm not a lot of people why are you why are you participating in what everybody said that didn't say you go into a restaurant where certain things are required and not comply we're people of order we do stuff right shucks even here we we we take temperature y'all no you can't come in here with 104 no no no no we no you are your brother's keeper so you can't be foolish we know better than that but no no i never got in fear with this world never never not one day because i read matthew 24. i'm closing there will be pestilences microscopic bugs there will be famines gas shortage didn't do anything to me amen i'll be in church on thursday pastor what about the food church sure see you guys start meditating the word david said i've never seen righteous forsaken nor his seed beg for bread food i will eat every single day did you hear me every day my kids will eat every single i told you the story now about last year i don't know what this was all about but when they ran out of toilet paper i don't know why folk wanted toilet paper if they couldn't live what you need all of that for and you won't be here um so i closed with this one more time but everybody flocked to get some toilet paper i said i'm not going out there getting on toilet paper i don't need toilet paper i will get toilet paper when i need it because that's when i need toilet paper so then it was time to restock on some toilet paper oh lord all the grocery stores are out of toilet paper oh my god they're out of here i told tomorrow i said dear i'll be right back i'm going up here and i'm not driving far either there's a harris teeter right up the street from my house i'm going to get some toilet paper you know when i got toilet paper when i decided to go get it are y'all getting it so i decided i wanted to go get toilet paper and that's when the truck drove up and unloaded a new stock a toilet paper i was the first one at that store to get my toilet paper what's the point pastor can we get kingdom minded no 50 of marriages end in divorce by year five not mine in fact i'm past year five mine didn't end in divorce because we're not going to allow our marriage to do what the world's marriages do these kids are unruly not mine no none of mine are going to be unruly only reason why i don't take a belt off is these pants don't have a belt these pants have tabs on it but you know right no mine no no but see some of you your kids hadn't got a spangle since 1965 and they're only 11. you figure that matrix out that means they never got a spanking you got a child that never right so then you didn't obey the bible you spared the rod and spoiled the child so now your child is spoiled that's your fault i didn't say abuse them but you should have done the legal paddle right here and got them get that's deliverance that brings them back they be the devil be taking them off into then [Applause] got myself back jesus i'm right again give me a hug dad thank you been delivered that's deliverance that's what it's for but you started obeying oprah and dr phil and everybody else in their opinion professionally you know bill gates can tell you what to take not to take on it because you know everybody else can tell you what to do when to do how to do it everybody except scripture who's really lord jesus or all right that's enough i'm done come on stand to your feet guys play softly we can write pray we're gonna redo our altar call and we're gonna let some people go i hope those kind of messages are the ones you like because that's truly what i'm gonna be teaching in these last days yo what sense does it make the shout the rest of service and you not be like really living out kingdom living it's no shortage in the kingdom no shortage you're here today you don't know jesus says lord and you want to know him i want to invite you down or you want to recommit your heart to the lord you want to give him you he wants to love you we're closing but if that's you i want to invite you down come on come on come on thank you lord thank you that's you i want to invite you down amen you want to know jesus as lord come on down so important y'all don't leave earth without him he loves you i see some of my young people out there don't leave earth without them i see some of my adults out there don't leave earth without them you know one of the reasons why i study end times and teach on it sometimes or a lot of times that's my incentive to stay pure can i say something and y'all please don't take this wrong that way but it's gonna get real bad down here you haven't seen anything yet it's gonna get real bad come on reggie minister the gate it's gonna get real bad real bad not a good place to be left behind real bad real bad he said it you go home don't go home and read it in an afraid way but read matthew 24 he talks about the stuff that's going to shake down what's going to happen yo this world is going to get real ugly it's the titanic going down the world is we didn't have time to get to all of this but you talk about socialism and the mark of the beast y'all american

that we're taught come on i said we knew better than that cause we're what no we're talk we're tall no no no no the big secret friendly churches they closed they're opening up now but y'all can we just stop for a second where were they you've been making it on your own for the last 17 months and that's where you're going back it's quiet if it were me i'd fight and they don't got to be this church i miss the ethics but i tell you what i sure would find me a good spirit-filled church and not because they dance and shout either i'm talking about a church like this where that word is taught where your kids are groomed when your marriage gets better that's where i'd go i wouldn't go back over there it's quiet but i'm right i'm right i'm right i go i go running into the places that proved
