The Wretched Life Of King Solomon

okay and we are live all right good night folks good day good evening to everyone let me just make sure all of my uh social media sites are up and running before i get started here we go right there all right so let me just wait for some folks to come on in uh and then we'll get started so it's 8 51 i should have started from 8 30. uh the truth is i was asleep so so when i woke up i say hey you're live you promised these people alive from 8 30 but i was very very tired that was very very tight so when i got home i had to do some stuff and i said let me just get a nap you know because i was really you know having a a good day right so what i'm going to do like i said i was going to repeat uh uh what i said today on my teaching on the wretched life of solomon and which i think was an interesting which an interesting teaching today so before i get into that i'm just gonna wait for folks to come in without 2 2 20 right now so i'm waiting for them to climb in and i said on my show earlier today that a lot of you have been writing me a lot of you wish me happy 51st birthday my birthday was on september 13th mother's monday pass and i appreciate all of the the gifts all of the love i did not have the energy to be honest with you to respond to respond to most of you because and again i don't do this but i'm doing it for this case so that you understand i'm currently on a 40-day liquid fast yeah my face look a little slimmer there 40 day liquid fast and i'm currently on this is the this is the uh there it is saturday yeah tomorrow make two weeks this is a thirteen i believe it is here day 13 and tomorrow make two weeks that i've been doing this that fast will end on october 15 if i am not mistaken so this is my second time doing this in fact it's a 10 year gap the first time that i did the 40 day fast that was in 2011 and i've explained to you on many number of occasions how that particular 40-day fast transformed my life and in fact i just never stopped doing that it has literally catapulted me realigned me to my original destiny i that fast was one of desperation because at that point in my life i was uh i was 40 actually and i was going to be 41 in that that september of 2011 and everything that was could go bad for me was going bad uh and when i say everything everything from from marriage to finances to job and in my opinion the church wasn't providing no answers for me i got sick of the seed sowing and all of these other things so in my desperation i i went into the fast our church at that time the church that i went to at the time was doing a 21 day fast and i i went with 21 day fast and i think they were doing intervals of food but i didn't i been straight with the liquid again i was desperate i was tired of being broke tired of trying to figure out when my season was coming tired of some assault and giving high five back flipping kung fu and bruce lee martial arts all of this junk i was sick of it when i say sick to be honest with you the thought of church made me sick but i went out of tradition this is what you do you go here so you don't go to hell for some reason anyway after the 21 day well before the 21 day fast i was praying and asking god if i should go straight to the 40 i never got an answer until the last day of the fast i was actually preparing that sunday morning to teach sunday school was in the shower actually and i heard in my conscious mind it wasn't an external voice that if i want better i must do better so for me that was my answer to whether or not i should continue so when the church ended i continued with my fathers and of course i had lost tremendous in fact i had lost a total of almost 40 pounds was 35 pounds i've lost during that time and of course they say he have aids he have cancer if these are the people of god all right he have this he threatened but his marriage he this i mean they called me everything except for child of god but in my resilience and my determination that there has to be more than the circus routine of church there has to be this is junk i used i was so angry i had this angry spirit and the reason i was angry just like many of you you are frustrated that the husband is coming you are frustrated that you're blessing around the corner and three four corners up the road they tell you you're on the wrong road what a corner to begin with so again through my desperation i completed the 40-day fast it was very grueling very very very because i've never done a 40 day at that point the most i had went to was a 21 day fast before i've done that two or three times prior to the 40. i've done the three-day drive fast multiple of those things anyway when i completed that fast which would have been in april of 2021 and i say this this is the best analogy that i could give it was like someone put my life in a slingshot and literally slung me through the air that's a word and i never stop repelling i got a a major promotion on my job and the promotion in itself was a miracle when i tell you i saw my ministry saw my finances saw i i couldn't believe to be totally honest with you may be totally real with you there were days when i sit and really reflect where i was to where i was at that point where i was before the point i was at the time i would just automatically be in tears because i couldn't believe this was real but then what i also reflected on what did you do to get here what what how come everybody else isn't experiencing this and that is when i learned about this seed sewing and covering and all of these protocols had nothing to do with god in fact these were all a when you came to know god in the liberty of jesus christ and you submit to those things then you go back into in cas incarceration again but you don't think it because you say this is church and this is what you do here so everybody is following a routine of defeat and fashion you you you could get mad with me i'm sure you could relate to what i'm saying right now and and frustration my life saw it i was i was i moved from a courier at fedex because pride that i couldn't get no promotions couldn't get no pay raise no nothing i moved from a courier street to account executive uh with territories of tortola uh the turks and caicos island all of the bahama islands except nassau where we had uh account executives there i traveled like crazy with my own minute some i honestly i really i couldn't imagine i couldn't believe it was happening to me my mother would always when meena talk she'd always say boy kevin every time i look at your life isn't it it's an encouragement for anybody to see how low you were how defeated you were days of just pure misery and you was committed you would not to not to a pastor not to a church so this is why when i say those things i don't say those things in as a disparaging remark against him i detest those systems that's why i'm so vehement in my expression of them because they are nothing but chains that keep you back you will never become who you are called to be you will never fulfill your gift you will never do what god has called you to do if you follow people that believe that you have to come through them to get to christ or you have to jump hurdles to get to christ that is not that is not what christ has called you to any church that does that and i i hold back no way with this it's a satanic church it is a church that is strictly of the devil okay because they're supposed to be pointing you to jesus no no added nothing don't take away nothing just teach me the scriptures and let's go in that direction anyway my life 2011 the ending part of 2011 going into 2012 i i life just took off from me even on my job uh [Music] and i had no experience in sales absolutely none at all and the my manager who did the interview and plus the general manager of fedex the bahamas after my interview they were so impressed that they didn't even interview anybody else again this guy knows nothing about sales but what i thought about when i was doing my interview i was very nervous but i thought about what i do in ministry i thought about me teaching and preaching in and trying to convey a message or break it down to people for them to understand so when they said to me they're going to pretend to be customers and we want you to sell fedex house so that was very easy for me to do so i just put my mind in that gear of teaching the gospel to people and really you know laying out the products to them they were overwhelmed like i say in person uh that's september because they are the job freeze i was officially hired as the account executive so i can say time went on and on and on i met my awesome wife uh i was just overwhelmed by the things that we had in common again all of this as a result of this for us all of this and because my prayer to god was listen i don't want to meet nobody i need to know boyfriend girlfriend at night at a stage in my life i ain't got time but i foolishness i need someone to build with someone who respect and understands marriage and understand the quality of moving together as a team that was that was priority for me and that was also a shocker to me because before i never really thought that way because in my mind you know back then you know use this play and all this other stuff but i saw with this fasting it was such a maturity even in my thought level and the way that i looked at things did you and i got married in the 14th 2014 december in fact this year make seven years we were married seven awesome years she's to say she's awesome as an understatement i am totally madly and loving and i thank god every day for her and i don't say that to sound whatever i truly mean that because one of the greatest things i'm trying to encourage somebody right now one of the greatest greatest after salvation the greatest thing that could ever happen in your life is to connect with the person whom god has ordained for you and how you know god is ordained i want for you when you guys are comparable and compatible mean that you yes that doesn't mean you're gonna have differences but your overall goal is achieving together and that is one of the things that i i i am totally elated about her about us working together isn't a matter of me being the man and dictating to us none of that is this is this is our thing we're building together and and she fit not just as my wife but also in ministry she was an awesome fit again man listen she probably can hear this for the first time see you don't know how many nights i weep and thank god for her because and again those of you who who know me would know my situation so you understand where i'm coming from so the bottom line is i would never i could never say no church deliver me no pastor no preacher no apostle and that's not to say they don't do that yes there are many good awesome preachers teachers apostles deliverance minister i'm not discounting that but like the theme and all of my messages are simply this and that is i don't want you to look at them or even me as the deliverer like myself my confidence was in the word of god my the nights i cried to the god i was i know their nights when i know that tomorrow they turning off my light i notice they didn't want me to send me emails and everything and i would sit up in my bed and ask god why are you allowing this what am i doing wrong but all of this was my process i guess to see whether or not give up on the word of god but guess what after that when i get up that morning i go deep into prayer again reaching out to god because that's what i believe and no no human could change that no that's why i said i don't care who you call yourself or how you come to me you could never get me to alter what i know work for me i don't care what system you have under your church and that is what i believe and this is why i try to direct people to believe in god don't believe in me kevin is just a human i could fail you at the end of the day when your belief is in god if you hear tomorrow kevin half million kids outside of his marriage with deidre yes you disappointed but i didn't make you give up on god why because your confidence was never in kevin it was always in god and that's how we should live not having people worship us bow to us give us their salaries and mortgage and teach them how to mismanage their funds by telling them sow seeds of of their rent and so on all of that in hindsight now even then i know it's irresponsible it was irresponsible that god has already blessed you with the mortgage bless you with the school fees bless you with the rent and and and we especially me us like a fool listen to these corn artists and and and given away the blessing that you already had with the hopes again that that blessing is going to be multiplied around the corner the devil is a liar no no the devil is a liar so this is why i get on you so hard you got to put in your work you got to put in your work get into these fast you must be disciplined you must have a forgiving heart a clean heart you can't go no fast for revenge and trying to send back prayers to people and trying to get pooky and bother them for doing your own get you shouldn't be on a fast a fast requires discipline a fast requires commitment to the word of god there are quite a number of things that i'm believing god for and i know they will happen i know that what happened and on this fast i've already made my clip my case clear to god what i would like my desire so like i always teach you i went to the scriptures prior to my fast and retained those scriptures that were relative to what it is that i want i repeated them on my show today the first one was uh psalms 84 11b and it says that no good thing shall be withheld from those that walk uprightly or walk in righteousness or walk according to the laws and the principles of god i'm doing that so that promise my desire sorry which lines up with the word of god i know that's going to come to pass because according to that scripture my desire it will manifest because i'm walking uprightly so every day of my fast and whenever i do pray i don't pray every day whenever i do pray during the course of my fast some days i just go to prayer let me in praise and worship whenever i do pray i don't consistently bring up oh god i want this camera oh god i want this car no i've already made that clear he's not deaf now that's not to say if you want to do it do it that's not a problem but again listen to the point here my confidence just like my last 40 day fast is in the word yes this is what i want over here you know but my confidence and what i want isn't what i want it is in the word of god so again i use the scripture he says to remind him of his word not your word oh god i want a scar oh god i want this guy oh god i want his husband he said no no no no remind me of what did my word say sir who is looking for a wife the word of god says it is not good for a man to be alone these are the things you need to come up with my next scripture that i use in this fasting is in proverbs 10 verse 24 and it says that the faith the wicked shall come upon him but the desire i love that's so much it the desire of the righteous shall be granted again i'm a qualifier of that i'm the righteousness of god in christ jesus as a result of following the protocol of accepting jesus christ as my lord and savior he has reconciled me to his father god and god in turn made me righteous through jesus so the desire of the righteous should not might be granted you know it says shall it's no debate shall be granted so i the more i pray the scriptures as opposed to praying for what i want the more confident i know i will get what i want all right the other scripture is uh psalms 34 7 i think it is and it says that we delight ourselves in him he will give us the desires of our heart that's the third promise but the ultimate one that i love the one that i i whenever i repeat this in fact whenever i read the scripture i am just overwhelmed and that is uh john chapter 15 verse 16 and it says he says if i abide in you if i if you abide in me and my word abide in you and you know i'm the word guy right he says whatever you ask shall be done unto you so these are the principles the genuine principles of fasting not badgering god oh god i pray i have a baby lord i break the spirit of barrenness lord i yeah yeah you could throw that in there but again do not allow that to become your focus your focus is on the unadulterated word of the living god that you can beat heaven gate down with the word of god you're going to repeat that in your spirit repeat it in the bathroom i remember years back i used to get the little sticky note things and write scriptures on them and put them all over my card dashboard on my bathroom class and stuff not to memorize but for every time i come in contact with it i would repeat the word of god and that is where my belief was then that is where my belief is now and that is where my belief will continue to be until i draw my last breath and that's how i want you to be do not be committed to people people will fail you people will disappoint you people will be people and there's nothing wrong with that that's why they call people how you circumvent that or you mitigate the impact of them being people is by putting your focus and your confidence in the word of the living god i think it was david that said lord your word have i hidden my heart uh i forget the last piece you'll remember that sorry i'll not sin against you so that is where you have to be that's why i have such a joy for the word of god that's why i'm so excited to preach the word of god that's why i feel so confident what i do because my i'm looking at nobody else i'm sure a lot of them talking a lot of fool about me football i always say let's look at the results the bible say you will know them by their fruit kevin has discovered that let's look at the what's kevin producing now let's see what you're producing talk to me somebody talk to me i try to encourage somebody we got 806. okay so let's get started because i can run on all night all right so if you see i get in you're getting a late response from me again i'm on a fast and uh some some days i'm i'm kind of weak but some days i have a burst of energy i have no desire for food any time after coming towards the second week in any fast that i do my entire desire for food gold so that that don't become an issue for me but i keep hydrated as much as possible if you can see my skin now you see all of that with all them toxins all that stuff just coming out of me and i love it so health wise it's awesome it's really really awesome and it's even greater as it relates to the spiritual aspect of it one more thing before i go into our teaching it is very important that we follow the protocol of fasting the genuine fast according to isaiah 58 and we have to because if you want the true uh result of what this fast should produce according to scripture then you have to follow that protocol you have to find people to invest in their lives and trust me i've been doing that i've been i met listen i've been asking god lord who today who is it you want to lead me to see again i am not sowing no seed to no church especially if that church don't have a pantry and especially if that church don't give to the poor they will never get a penny from me not one dollar i don't care who it is because jesus christ ministry was predicated on meeting the needs of the poor and that's from all spectrums of life okay we are obligated as believers of jesus christ to meet the needs of others this ain't no club we only look for your two you're for no more okay this is the demonstration of your fate and your belief in jesus christ so as the lord lead me uh and i've had three four actually situations so far where i was overwhelmed when the opportunity presented itself to me to make a difference in such people's life which is an ongoing thing for us but especially during this fast it's it's a it's a pleasure to do so you have to do that isaiah 58 verse 7 to verse 8 8 actually says as a result of following this protocol he says yo i think your light shall come forth in the morning yes wisdom understanding shall spring forth and he says your health shall come forth speedily and a bunch of other stuff that comes along with it so there are myriad of reasons the myriad of reasons to engage in fasting but particularly the spiritual benefits of it that as you can see now 10 years later i was able to retire from my job at the age of 48 2019 i left my job of 32 years it would have been 33 years if i had hung on like about four more months i couldn't take it no more good job i had an excellent job i had a perfect job but i know it's time for me to go into ministry that level and stage of my life has been exhausted and no amount of money is going to keep me to a place where i know there's better ahead for me i left my job and guess what my job is doing very well and i am in a i am in a i'd say a far better position where i'm at now and what i'm doing now than when i was on my job with uh far less stress than i have to deal with so as you can see like i said to you that fasts up 40 days is in 2011. this is now 2021. this is 10 years later and god is still doing it for me so what you think will happen after this 40 days now who am i talking to the night i try to encourage you i'm trying to encourage you okay i'm trying to encourage you all right so let's get into tonight's teaching as you would see our topic here is the wretched life of solomon and uh this is a very very interesting teaching because we're gonna delve deep into this man's life unlike every other human being he's not a perfect man but what we're about to uh take away from his life is the importance of uh committing to the word of god that in particular the laws the rules and the principles of god and i wish every church could preach this to get people to focus on god's and let me be clear again i have to be clear because i get so much emails on this people say to me kevin okay when you say the law you mean we still got to sacrifice sheep but no no no no no no sweetie we don't do them things no more the laws the principles the rules the ordinance the precepts and the commands of god is from genesis all the way to revelation and i love the way my heavenly father's done it where he took the lives of a peter of moses or abraham and ezekiel a hosea or joshua and he used the lives of this man to literally tuck away his rules his principles and their lives so when you're reading those stories you're not just reading a a beautiful story to put yourself asleep oh no as you begin to read it you begin to see the common denominator who truly followed god and watched their prosperity and those who waved and watched the obstacles that they had as a result of it and challenges and curses that follow so this super duper bible that we have is the is the manual for life it is this book that if you why you think the devil fight you so much on this why do you think he don't want you to read this book listen when you read this book and this thing really sink into your spirit and you make a commitment to do what that book say your life have to change you don't have to give nobody no money you don't have to do none of these uh psychos acts uh these bottom and bailey jumps and stuff none of it and i'm telling you you can see from experience i'm living it do the word of god do it do what he tells you to do stop funny king stop lying and guess what we all had issues with me god save i had issues i don't you know i i'm an open book but over time the holy spirit will pull that away from you remove that desire but you don't give up you don't keep down yes you can get knocked down but you get back up and you get back to the word of god a lot of people fail and stay down because oh my god i do this again and i know everybody know i do this you want into everybody you enter the word of god your commitment is to jesus these people can't put you in a lamb's book of life in fact they need to get there together in fact they probably don't worsen you okay so you can't pay no attention these people you need to get into the word of god i cannot uh put enough emphasis on that okay so watch this solomon solomon is an interesting character just give me a second yeah and when i was teaching this today man i tell you this this is giving me goosebumps as to [Music] i should have marked this up before i started okay here we go right okay so let me put this over here so i'll have my room all right okay yeah so solomon here now it's this awesome character he is the world's wisest man he's the richest man and what i like about the first scripture that we're going to refer to it's going to display in his initial capacity as king the spirit of humility and and that took me when i when i when i see that compared to how he ended it was just there was such a vast change in him but we're going to see the mistakes he made along the way to get to the position he ended up in and every last one of those mistakes was when he when he dismissed the word of god all right so let's go here now let's go here uh to where are we let's go to first kings chapter three and we're going to read from verse 1 to verse 13. first kings chapter 3 and we're gonna read from verse one to verse thirty why is this stupid thing not cooperating okay so first kings let me get here chapter three i know you guys are so hot today when that crazy internet man i was so upset man i had to hold my composer so i could continue teaching on the radio because i was really upset with that internet nonsense but okay so first kings here we go first kings chapter three beginning at verse one all right and solomon made affinity with pharaoh king of egypt and took pharaoh's daughter and brought her into the city of david until he had made an end of building his own house and the house of the lord and the wall of jerusalem round about only the people sacrificed in high places because there was no house built unto the name of the lord until those days and solomon loved the lord this is powerful solomon loved the lord walking walking in the statues of david his father and that don't mean that he david had his own statues david followed the statues of god so solomon is following or imitating what his dad did he's also committed to god walking in the statues of his the of his walking in the statues of david his father only he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places now this high place is part of it is also interesting because and why they why they're reiterating this in the scriptures because uh solomon the temple wasn't built at the time so they had no place to worship so the high places the canaanites and so on prior to them who inhabited the land they're high places where they serve their god astra molec chimash all these other things so after those places were cleansed the only place for them to make sacrifices and praise their god was on these high places now i'm making that disclaimer there because i don't want people to think that solomon was involved in some kind of sorcery all right so verse uh three says and solomon loved the lord walking in the statues walking in the statues of david his father the only sacrifice and burnt incense in high places and the king went to gibeon to sacrifice there for that was the great high place a thousand burnt offerings did solomon offer upon the altar in gibeon the lord appeared to solomon in a dream so solomon is not conscious uh during this experience as we're about to read he is fully unconscious physically but his spirit in the spirit realm and he gain access there through that dream is now communing with god all right and in gibby and the lord appeared to solomon in a dream by night and god said ask what i shall give thee this is powerful now because i'm sure if god give that to you i know what you were saying now god now i need at least about four mercedes at least it can be no less than 2021 all right so solomon what's what's solomon's humility this is what i want you to focus on because it's gonna tell you the type of person he was in his infancy of being on the throne okay and solomon verse six of first kings three and solomon said thou has showed unto thy servant david my father great mercy according as he walked before thee in truth and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with thee and thou has kept for him this great kindness that thou has given him a son to sit on his throne as it is this day and now oh lord my god thou has made thy servant king instead of david my father and i am but a little child humility watch this but a little child i know not how to go out or come in i don't know what to do these people it's humility i like this verse eight and thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou has chosen a great people that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitudes give therefore this is his request to god give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people that i may discern between good and bad for who is able to judge this die so great a people and the speech please the lord and solomon had the speech please the lord that solomon had asked this thing and god said unto him which is solomon because thou has asked sorry because thou has asked this thing and has not asked for thyself long life neither has acts riches for thyself nor has asked the life of nine enemies but has asked for thyself understanding to discern judging behold i have done according to thy words lo i have given thee a wise and an understanding heart so that there was none like thee before thee neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee and i have also given thee that which you did not ask god say about i control and a bonus because of you you see humility will always pay off you hear me all the time i cannot stand arrogant people i want nothing to do with them he goes on to say i will i and i have also given thee that which thou has not asked both riches and honor so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days and if thou will walk this is key now and if thou will walk in my ways to keep my statues and my commandments as thy father david did walk then i will lengthen thy days and solomon awoke and behold it was a dream and he came to jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the lord and offered up bird offerings and offered peace offerings and made a feast to all his servants so as we can see here in uh this is right after solomon's inauguration as the new king to israel and as the third king uh what's his name being the first one what's his name now um yeah him too and then david and then uh saul saw david then solomon right and solomon has displayed this it was such a well quarry choreograph display of humility he could have asked god for anything he wouldn't that be a grand time to be selfish he could have said listen i uh give me everything give me the whole world but his heart was for the people of god and he realized this is what i want you to see he realized that he could not do he could not be effective he could not be successful if he dismiss or if he disengage himself from god so he says oh god here's what i want and clearly he understood by asking this one thing which is understanding to lead god people everything else will follow so he said here's what i want from you there's a million things trafficking from my mind but this is what i want give me understanding give me understanding to lead your people could you imagine if every preacher prayed like that every teacher every apostle in humility to god god you've put me in this position not to dominate not to to bully not to embarrass people from the pulpit but give me the wisdom to lead you know the hearts of these people so only your wisdom that you would have given me i will be able to discern righteous judgment when it's time to lead them can you imagine everybody but anyway that's a different story so in here you see where solomon displaying unbelievable humility but even in this hu in unbelievable humility there's some things that he needs to be checked on all right and and it's he started out wrong but we can get there later okay so let's go here now to uh that's it okay first kings first kings chapter four verses one to 19. we're not going to read it because basically what it is is solomon now his his throne is has been established now so he's for forming his cabinet putting different uh ministers and different positions gods and servants and he's just putting order to uh his excuse me to his kingdom all right but what i want us to look at though is first kings chapter four first king chapter four and i want us to first king chapter four read from verse 20 to verse 26 first king chapter four i'm going to read from verse 20 to 26 it says judah and israel were many as the sun which is by the sea in multitude eating and drinking and making merry so they were having a ball and solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the philistines and onto the border of egypt they brought presents and served solomon all the days of his life and solomon's provision for one day was 30 measures of fine flour and three score measures of meal 10 fat oxen and 20 oxen out of the pastures and a hundred sheep beside hearts robux and followed their unfatted foul for he had dominion over all the region of the site the rivers from tipsa even to aza over all the kings of this side the river and he had peace on all sides round about him and judah and israel dwelt safely even sorry safely every man under his vine and under his fig tree from dan even to beersheba all the days of solomon verse 26 and solomon had 40 000 stalls of horses this is a problem so i want you to highlight that i want you to highlight that and i want you to go back and highlight uh first kings chapter three verse one and two we're gonna see we're gonna see some some some some flaws now okay now i know you're saying kevin martinez could be a problem i don't understand that i mean you saw he had forty thousand horses to do it was rich we expect well we can see and sullivan had 40 000 stalls of horses for his chariots and 12 000 horsemen so highlight highlight that we're going to revisit that all right now let's go to first kings chapter 4 6 sorry chapter 6 all right and basically this is where solomon is beginning to build the temple so i'm just giving you a cross section of his life so now when i come back to lay up my points you will it will make more sense to you okay so first king chapter six verse ten first king chapter six sorry let's turn here first king chapter six okay okay so solomon is now beginning work on the temple but what is interesting now is god is now going to make a promise to him in this chapter beginning at verse 11. so first kings chapter 6 verse 11 uh to verse 14. so listen what it says and the word of the lord came to solomon saying concerning this house which thou art in building if thou will walk in my statues and execute my judgments and keep my commandments to walk in them listen listen then will i perform my word with thee which i spoke unto thy father david this is interesting this is very interesting why is this interesting mr ewing well god had already blessed him okay what's your point god is gonna reveal what i've been teaching you from the time i started teaching scripture there are two levels of a blessing the original blessing is spiritual it's not tangible you are already blessed every human being is blessed everywhere they are living for christ or not there are blessings reserved for them every last one just like with solomon here however the question is how do we initiate the transfer of that spiritual blessing to cause it to become material in our physical lives well he just said it here he said to solomon let's read this again and the word of the lord came to solomon saying concerning this house which thou art in building if thou you solomon will walk in my statues that's not like his laws to me his ordinance his rules his way of doing things now you see why i constantly say to you i don't care but no covering you know i don't care but no see it soon i don't hear none of that if you cannot point me to the authentic world because that's what i want to follow because according to scripture to make my manner like my my blessings it has nothing to do with seed sowing it have nothing to be under the covering of a man who has sinned in his life just like me what it has to do with is my commitment to the word of god are you going to so tell me this then let me let me see if i could get you here do you think it is more honorable to say you're under a covering of a particular church and i to this day i don't know discovering this on a church or a pastor as opposed to following the laws that god has laid out which one do you think would be more beneficial if person a decide i'm going to follow the word of god all right but this word that i'm following my church kind of day into for that so you decide the other party and they should decide to follow the church rules which one i know genius you know genius either so you you tell me you tell me which one will benefit in the end you tell me but i can tell you right now the ones who follow the rules because i know many people who i went to church with still in the churches right now sitting in those pools still waiting for soccer money to fall in the sky still waiting for the blessing around the corner still waiting for their healing still waiting for their finances to come to get a cell waiting for their marriage are still waiting for them my rich to be repaired this hasn't been 10 years you left it just 11 12 years what are they waiting on well they're waiting on on pies in the skies because just like here anyone that is giving you another solution to have your blessings transferred from the spiritual world to this physical world outside of following the laws of god is a witchcraft worker is a devil is a demon like i would have said on my show today and i've mentioned to you this to you many times i have been working for fedex for a total of almost 33 years fedex didn't keep me there because they had nothing to do fedex didn't keep me there for my looks didn't keep me there for my size they didn't keep me because i come from a certain family lineage why did fedex keep you on their job and it's the same way you're on your job same reason and what is that you're following the policies you're following the rules you're following whatever they laid out for you to follow and if you want the best remedy to get out of there quickly then you defy their policies and watch and see will happen to you so if that is a human example what do you think about god what do you think when you when you tell them when you tell people god uh when you say this is my coverage jesus christ died for you jesus christ shed his blood for you jesus christ is the only one only thing between you and god what do you think you're saying to the almighty god when you say kevin is my covering what do you think you're doing first of all it is highway idolatry because now you're taking a mere mortal a a human being filled with error filled with sin who often repent just like you and you're saying this pastor kevin is my cover covering you from what i feel much safer at night going to sleep after praying my prayers and when i end that prayer in the name of jesus christ i feel spiritually safe that god jesus have my family covered do you feel the same way because your past is your cover i will beat it down for every time it is a it is a satanic doctrine it is a doctrine that came from the bowels of hell it is a mild deceitful way of introducing idolatry into the body of christ no human is your covering none the only order of spiritual covering is exactly what's in the bible uh christ is the head then the man then the woman that in in that order but don't tell me your pastor your bishop your apostle your pope is what is he covering you from is he covering you in sickness is he covering you you're still broke so what is it and and i hope listen why jesus will always be my coverage jesus is not broke jesus is not sick jesus is is perfect so wouldn't jesus i mean hey listen i don't have no have a degree but the little piece of sense i have would dictate to me that having a person that is perfect should be your cover my god i know they hate me tonight but that's your problem come on i mean let's be real who would you prefer are you comfortable in the hospital with corona or whatever and woo i hope my covering praying for me you're covering that ball and you've got to be mad you'll let me get safe you don't need to accept christ you're only people put these why you think your life ain't going away why you think you in the tenty of going to church and you are still frustrated why because you are following an idolatrous system that have nothing to do how think for one second how could your apostle be your covering i i help me the personal answer is to me i will give you a whole five dollars right now make me understand don't see listen go on are other days don't tell me pastor say i don't hear pastor is not the bible i don't hear what apostles say i don't hear what kevin say unless he is blocking it with scripture so my covering which a lot of them when i started to preach this had a problem with it and they said well who what church do you go to oh my god you don't go to church you who's you're covering listen jesus jesus what you mean jesus is my government so you don't have a pastor listen the mindset they can't even realize that wow in my statement just now i'm putting a man over jesus they don't see that no you know bible say they don't have eyes but cannot see ears and cannot hear and i see it every day and they glory in that they get offended whenever you show them the word of god they get mad with you but like god said to uh nehemiah as well as samuel he said they're not mad with you they're mad at me they think they're mad at you but this is not your word this is my word so god says to some to to s to solomonia he says verse 12 or first king six concerning this house which thou art in building if thou will walk in my statues and execute my judgments and keep all my commandments to walk in them then then meaning that for me to manifest these blessings in your life physically you have to follow my rules you have to follow my protocols do not add to it do not take away do not multiply don't do none of that do exactly what i tell you to do and listen you don't ever have to worry about god fulfilling his part never so no one could ever guide me on that fruitless path anymore that i spent many years wasting time well not really wasting time because i i know all of this now to compare it to the authentic word of god to some to summarize it as pure rubbish do the will of god so it's conditional yes you save yes you know god so let's put a pen in this because this wasn't just reserved for solomon so let's quickly here go now to my favorite chapter deuteronomy 28 all right and we're going to read from verse one towards verse eight this time god speaking this was the instructions that he gave moses to speak to the children of israel as it relates to how god is going to bless them even how he's going to bless them these are his people moses is not speaking to the philistines he's not speaking to the syrians he's not speaking to the egyptians so what you mean no listen because if you follow the rules of the bible you will forever be successful deuteronomy 28 verse 1 and it shall come to pass if thou shalt hearken or listen diligently unto the voice of the lord thy god to observe and to do all his commandments uh-huh which i command thee this day that the lord thy god what what is going to be the evidence that by me doing the will of god meaning the word of god following the rules the precepts and so on what is the initial thing that i could look for to know that god is working in my life well the first thing he's going to do he's going to elevate you which is exactly what he did to me in 2011. the voice the first move he made in my life was promote me and he never stopped promoting me since but anyway that was the first move watch he says that the lord thy god will set thee on high above all nations of the that's a promotion that's elevation he's gonna take you out of that place of frustration that you've been for years doing the wrong principles to get a god end result it will never happen in this lifetime never never you could go to convention after convention you could go to conclave after conclave you could sharpen yourself with the priestly caller you could do all of that god looks at none of that in fact he it's a stench to him you know what he's looking for he's looking for those who are following the rules hmm whoa i see kevin over there that's what's going to garner his attention those who are following the rules not those who ought to be a parcel ought to be minister what to be pastor only to the whole idea is to rule and to dictate no no no no no no no no no so verse 2 says and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee why if circle that word again if thou shall hearken unto the voice of the lord thy god blessed shall thou be in the city and blessed shall thou be in the field blessed shall be the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground on the fruit of thy cattle the increase of thy kind and the flocks of thy sheep blessed shall be thy basket and thy store houses your bank accounts blessed shall thou be when thou come us in and blessed shall thou be will now go without the lord listen listen listen the lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face hold on but what did i do you're following the rules so god is gonna fight and defend you on every in every area of your life i told you after the fast every area of my life got addressed in a positive manner why all these blessings because you are following the rules i want not to be cemented in your cerebral cortex you listen to me carefully you are wasting time in church you are wasting time in pews you are wasting time under whatever apostolic pentecostal baptist whatever you call your denomination that you worship and not worshipping the word of god you are wasting time and your life is evidence of it you see you're satisfied with you get to read the scripture every sunday okay you get to when when pastors say read john 3 verse 16 uh for god so loved the world that's about it for you now go back to poverty go back to frustration go back to hardship why because you refuse to follow the rules you refuse to make a commitment to the word of god very simple you know this listen let's say no no no no no einstein newton's law that is simple if you do not follow the policy do not expect to get the promises that the policy offer i think that's pretty simply huh i i think it's pretty clear to me verse 8 the lord i love this peace all of this because i am observing and hawking and diligently to his word verse 8 the lord shall command my god the blessings upon thee now hold on i don't read but you can bless me in the field blessing my body now you there's some other side of blessing yeah yeah yeah you you you say sit small kevin i got some of you and he says listen the lord shall that let's say that blessing was running abroad he said no no no i command you to come back here and rest upon kevin right now my god i love this yeah i love this you all recall reading this i love this i love it the lord voice 8 of deuteronomy 28 the lord shall command he didn't say he can ask and try to negotiate excuse me blessing you think you got time to go to kevin no no no no i am commanding you to go to kevin why because kevin is following my rules kevin is following my ordinance kevin is following my law kevin isn't putting a human above me kevin isn't putting a church uh theology or doctrine or ideology or opinion above my law kevin honors my law and because he honors my law my word my principles my rules i will honor him so much so that i will command the blessing to go and visit kevin now i love it i hope you all love listening i love it the lord shall command a blessing upon thee in thy storehouses monies go to that account right now get there because somebody else was commanding them to come off when i wasn't following the rules when i was sowing seed and billy goat seed and garbage seed all that foolishness you can't pay god you can you can't take according to take your money to so you you give me 500 okay you could continue for the kick and you'll never see that never see that the lord shall command the blessings upon thee and thy storehouses and in all that thou set us then han to do he said whatever you put your hand to because you are listening to me because you are following my rules because you are encouraging other people to to follow my rules he said i promise you whatever you put your hand to i will ensure that the blessings are commanded in that direction mighty god you only listen to me you only listen to me and he shall bless thee in the land which the lord thy god give a day my god boy listen let's get knocked i got a cool line just a little bit here my god y'all listen to this y'all hear this right mighty lord my god oh man i can shut down right here i could shut down right here my lord yo listen to that piece that deuteronomy 28 8 he says i will command he say i try to negotiate with no no no blessing committee i already sent a directive to the blessing department of heaven and i told them don't ask me nothing i am commanding you to visit mary i'm commanding you to visit sally i'm commanding you to visit tommy huh ain't no discussion up in here we don't need no committee and no board of directors i am commanding you to go there why don't see that's the real thing why is god commanding the blessing to you my friend because you honor his laws and rules above your pastor above your apostle above kevin above any church above any doctrine it's no disrespect to them it is the order of god almighty very simple very simple get mad all you want buddy not on you i get time for you right so let's go back into this now let's go here now to uh first king chapter seven again i'm just gonna summarize this first king chapter seven now speaks about uh when solomon was building his house in fact he was building his house uh simultaneously when he was building the temple and according to scripture it took him excuse me it took him 13 years to complete his house and in verse eight of uh first king chapter seven it says that he also built a house for his wife which was the uh daughter of pharaoh got a problem again but we can get there later all right so let's go here now to chapter nine first kings chapter nine and we're gonna read from verse one to verse nine first kings chapter nine and we're gonna read from verse one to verse nine okay and in this part here this is where god is now going to make this covenant with our good brother solomon all right and it came to pass when solomon had finished the building of the house of the lord and the king's house and all solomon's desire which he was pleased to do and the lord appeared to solomon the second time and he had a as he had appeared unto him in gibeon and the lord said unto him i have heard thy prayer and thy supplication that thou has made before me i have hallowed this house which thou has built to put my name there forever and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually all right and if thou will walk before me as david thy father walked this is powerful in integrity of heart and uprightness to do according to all that i have commanded thee and will keep my statues and my judgment people how many times have we read this so far how many times how many times have we read where god is saying listen i want to do well beyond what you want me to do solomon but everything is hinging on how you engage my rules let's see what the bible says remember i told you just now one of the scriptures i'm using during the time of my fasting now psalms 84 11 b the latter part of that scripture no good thing shall be withheld hindered or delayed from those that walk uprightly which is what we're saying right now god is saying nothing is going to be delayed from you though oh no no no no no i i want to do for you but my hands are tied if you're going against my roots you have to follow my rule that's the that is the way the protocol works you have to follow my rules you have to same thing with adam and eve what was satan greatest weapon his greatest weapon how do i get them to dismiss the rules and the laws and the ordinance of god how do i get them to defy what god already told them as lord so what was that i need to get them to eat that food because the minute they eat that fruit they're defying god and automatically in covenant with satan and as you can see when we add to god word or disobey it you see us going downhill just like adam and eve same thing that's the first example the first example in scripture in the book of genesis when the fall of man came as a result of what defying the laws of god it isn't just disobedience it's defying you telling god listen i am my own god i i see what you say but i got a better way to do it no my friend any i can say it again any church any house quote unquote called the house of god that is going against the laws of god is not the house it is the house of satan i said it unapologetic i don't apologize for none of it it is a the host of devils any place that is going against the laws of this bible is a place i ain't gonna stay far from now you can go there you won't go if you want to be held back in life if you don't want to succeed in life if you don't want to advance in life then commit to such nonsense be more committed that you're a baptist be more committed that you're a pentecostal be more committed that you're a catholic you're a devout one are you a devout subscriber to the scriptures are you a performer of the laws the principles the rules the ordinance the precepts and the commands of the holy bible that's what you are to be devoted to but don't tell me you and that's why i say the denomination breeds and brings division so if you're not sticking to the i don't hear you you're talking to me i don't have nothing from you anything to penetrate these airs that is contrary to the laws of god buddy i go and death on you i can't hear you no more i don't care who you is i'll hear nothing from you verse 4 voice kings night and if thou will walk before me as david thy father if you will follow the same protocol as your daddy you see your daddy please me you see he died in peace you see all the great works i've done for him in fact you said to me solomon when i asked you what is it that you want me to do you said you've done so much from a family so much for my daddy you protect him on every and all the way tell us that so god is saying okay now that you observe that i'm telling you the protocol what he did for you to be successful also and what is that so see no get a cover no what follow some satanic doctrine no follow my rules very simple i can't say this enough follow my rules you can hear me say that over simple the gospel is about following the laws the rules the pattern that jesus christ has put in place that is he want what he wants to follow he your covering is jesus christ the bible said there is one god not six not seven or eight and there's one mediator one middle man one negotiator between god and man and who is that according to scriptures your pastor no kevin no your apostle no your bishop no who is he jesus the christ so who was your covering because you just told me who the middle man is who is the person between you and christ who is the one who made the sacrifice to give you the right to be reconciled with god jesus where did your pastor come in this now i know some listen to me right now they have said and the reason why they upset you know the reason why i'm saying because in their mind you're taking some kind of power from them hold on you're trying to make these people go like wild hogs right here we need to get control over the car no you need to get control over nobody god never puts you uh as a bully for no one you're your job in in if you're wise you would listen to me your job is to lead people to jesus your job is to point them as an apostle as a prophet as a bishop a teacher a preacher an evangelist the sole purpose of your role is to direct people to god to bring about righteous judgment that's your job you are never center control you are never sent to bully you are never sent to dominate you are never god never gave you a jezebel spirit or an assassin narcissistic spirit a controlling spirit to control his people he never did it within the three year ministry see these the patterns you have to follow within the three-year ministry of jesus christ he sent them out he said now listen i don't teach you enough now gold and side when it souls go and start preaching the kingdom of god he didn't say now stay here until i tell you you could leave until i release you and when i release you then you could go need that might be when you're 80 or 90 years old but no no no no no no all that is in security all that is bondage he says go into the world preach my gospel i have taught you enough and sometimes he got frustrated with them yeah because he figured they should they should they should know by now what to do when they when they couldn't heal the boy with the death and dumb spirit and the man had to take his son to jesus because these these disciples were joking and jesus had to scold him he says you he says uh you were adulterous and whatever generation blah blah blah and he he laid out on them because what are you saying is something with man you should know these things man you know what to do well i'm much more i need to teach you what is jesus doing he's doing exactly what i've been doing to you from the time you've been listening to me my goal is that you never hinge on me you never depend on me you never use me as some crutch to take you out no no that's the reason why i give you so much material i want to go go put in the time go read go fast do those things that's how i had to get it you that's what you you want to be on the phone me 600 hours and again i'm not saying i'm not going to concentrate get what i'm saying to you i'm teaching you to stand on your own feet you will be of no use to anybody if every minute you need to depend on somebody else in most cases you'll be taken advantage of no no god is no respecter of poison if you are hungry for the power in the word of god if you by committing to his lawsuit you will get better than what in fact i want god give you ten times what i have but i will only come if you follow his words and depend and lean on him no no no no no no no no no no no a lot of people you know you know you know how you do that you're not going to depend on me you've got nothing coming ain't got it and i always tell you this you can get mad at me right but the day is going to come when you look back and you say boy buddy kevin angle at you i couldn't stand you and you said you make me so sick but boy glad you didn't because my life that make me go to the world now that's what i want yeah i'm offended with you no in fact i want you to be offended with me hopefully it will push you into reading the word of god that's my intent don't you try that so verse 5 of first kings 9 says then i will establish listen let's go back in verse 4 and if thou will walk before me as david thy father walked an integrity of heart and an uprightness to do according to all that i have commanded thee and will keep my statutes and my judgment if you do these things solomon then i will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon israel forever as i promised to david thy father saying there shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of israel but if ye shall at all turn from following me listen carefully ye all your children and will not keep my commandments and my statues which i have set before you but go and serve other gods and worship them verse 7 of first kings 9 then will i cut off israel out of the land which i have given them and this house or the temple which i have hollowed for my name will i chaos out of my sight and israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people and at this house which is high everyone that passes by it shall be astonished and shall hiss and they shall say why had the law done thus unto the land and to this people but i could answer that one because they didn't follow his rules very simple you need no no no yale degree for that it's very simple very very simple you don't follow the rules but you don't expect the promises if you want to take shortcuts to go to shamans saint gomez voodoo people and all that but you keep going there i tell you one thing you've been born repeatedly that way will always lead to destruction the bible says in proverbs 16 25 there's a way unto man that may seem or appear to be right but he he prophesies he says listen to prophecy but at the end of that week will surely guarantee your destruction so you don't wanna you gotta guess what could happen like the scripture already tell you what's gonna take place if you take a route that is contrary to god's way very very simple all right so let's go here now to let's go here now to to first king chapter 10 all right let's go to first king chapter 10. and let's look at verse 14 and then we're going to read from verse 16 to verse 17. first king chapter 10 verse 14 says now the weight of gold that came to solomon in one year was 603 score and 60 talents of gold so let's go now the way 68 and king solomon made 200 targets of beaten goal 600 shackles of gold went to one target and he made 300 she shields of beaten gold three three pounds of gold went to one shield wow and the king put them in the house of the forest of lebanon now let's calm down a little bit and let's make some sense to all of what we've read so far i want to highlight some very important points that i would have told you to highlight during my reading and the first one i pointed out to you was in first king chapter three i believe in verse one and verse two where the bible says that solomon made affinity with pharaoh and basically married his daughter well all of the wives that he would have had wasn't because he was a lustful man history would tell you that the affinity or the alliance or agreements that he would have made with different nations of course to secure peace and reinforcement in the event that some other nation would have come against him well they normally did that through marrying the daughters of those particular kings so all of these the daughters of the hittites and so on when he married them it was it had nothing to do with love but it had everything to do with political strategies and posturing himself politically that in the vet he had had any opposition he had more than enough allies to shut down whoever was coming after him all right we've also read in uh first kings four i think verse 26 where it says that he had gathered x amount of horses right then we just read about the gold and all these other things but even before those things god constantly reiterated to him that hey lakel you if you want to be successful in all that you do be like your father follow the protocol which is simply to obey my laws my commands now the thing is unless you are a study of scriptures you would not detect the errors that solomon was making as we were reading through these scriptures if you don't know the rules so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to take you to the rules so that you could clearly see where solomon was messing up along the way which played a major role in changing that humble solomon that we read of in first kings chapter three the one who was so humble that he didn't ask for nothing else from god this was the creator of the owner voice he could get anything from him and the only thing he asked for in his unselfishness is the wisdom to help the people of god and to to to be a good leader to them now i don't think if if if humility had a definition that would be there for me if if there was a poster for humility i would label it to be that radio but we're going to look at the rules now i see because what the rules are going to show us is the flaws in i don't see the flaws but the errors that he was that he was making along the way that most people would have dismissed okay so let's look at the rules right let's go to deuteronomy chapter 17 i'm going to read from verse 14 to verse 20. deuteronomy chapter 17 and we're going to read from verse 14 to verse 20. we need to know the rules and again my ministry is just about that the rules that's all you can hear me whatever i don't care what i can be teaching but love i can take the rules of love we could be teaching about sex like the rules about seekers the rules is the the the bad rock in which all everything else exists at that particular on that particular model so if you don't know the rules you are automatically at a disadvantage that isn't something that has to be questioned if you don't know the rules you you automatically have a disadvantage people like i said you all the time who are experts in their field it isn't so much that they're an expert lawyer a expert lawyer they're an expert at the rules right okay so in deuteronomy 17 god in his infinite wisdom way before israel would have ever desired to have a king they don't they they wanted a king like their neighbors the syrians and so on they didn't want this invisible king who nobody could see so when they say now you've got masculine we can get our king for you and the enemies the king they say no we want a tangible king god in his infinite wisdom gave moses some rules that he know in the future this would come up they would want a king so listen to the rules that were given for the king so deuteronomy 7 beginning at verse 14 when thou art come unto the land which the lord thy god giveth thee and shall possess it and shall dwell therein and shall say i will set a king over me like as all the nations that are about me thou shall in any wise set him king over thee whom the lord thy god shall choose so isn't that interesting now so no matter what kind of king he turned out to be know for sure whether you like this king or not it is god choosing this king now what is interesting about this because people automatically figure okay because if god choose him he can do the right thing no god could be choosing him to punish you all for whatever you're always doing always listen to him as well as he could get a good king to reward you all for following him so don't fall into the church category of what is good as god or what is bad as evil that's not scripture scripture is the divine will of god could manufacture good and evil as a result and the evil will be the punishment will be evil to you a punishment to you i just want to be clear with that because a lot of people are under the impression that life is just black and white when it comes to the things of god that's not true all right so well before i even go any further in the book of first samuel when they wanted a king and god said i'm going to be a king samuel was angry with the people because they were like why are you all defying this goddess you're king why are you trying to be like your neighbors when you are chosen and holy people and they wasn't hearing him so god chose uh what's his name saul all right now god already knew what he was going to be like and god told him this guy is going to put burden on you all this guy is going to do x y z but then we'll hear all of that god we just want our king so i'm saying to you god knew in advance what was going to become of this king what he was going to do but in god's divine plan which we may not understand there is a time this is the time for this particular king to be there i just want to be clear here with this because i don't want you running away with some uh crazy thought all right so it goes on this here in verse let's go back to verse 15 thou shall in any wise set him king over thee whom the lord thy god shall choose now listen to rules one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee thou mayest not set a stranger over d which is not thy brother so a stranger would be a foreigner someone who is not of your nativity i guess if if we had kings in the bahamas then according to what we're reading here i couldn't make a cuban a king in the bahamas i couldn't make an american or king in the bahamas so the first rule that is being issued or distributed here god is telling them the king must be of your bloodline must be of your people do not bring a strange king over you that's the first rule for six thinkers are gonna give more roots these are for these are the king's rules but he shall not listen carefully multiply horses now you see why i pointed out uh first kings chapter 4 verse 26 and it spoke about the horses that samuel sorry solomon had so it's showing a violation of the law so you see the violation now the violation is the bible says but he shall not multiply horses to himself listen nor cause the people to return to egypt to the end that he should multiply horses for as much as the lord had said unto you you shall help for return no more don't go back to where you came from don't take the people back into oppression now you may say kevin now these some crazy laws kevin this don't make no sense kevin you got to make sense out of this well remember god told him not to multiply the goal god told him not to have multiple wives because i told him not to have multiple horses why is god saying this the same thing i'm telling you right now don't put your confidence in these things that's all it mean you know don't believe because you have four million horses you could stand against any nation no your confidence can be that even if i only had one horse but because i have god and i apply and commit to his word no nation could subdue me that's the point god was trying to make to the king don't ever get caught up in the glory don't ever get caught up in the wealth don't ever get caught up in these material things so so now it makes sense to you it wasn't about the horses itself it was about the confidence or the trust that was placed in the horses by the king so god tried to shut it down from day one when you become king there's no need for you to get these big armies and stuff i am your god even though you don't see me if you follow my rules every nation on this planet could come against you and you will succeed for every time even though they number you three million to one so again just like i'm doing to you right now same thing god was doing to them make my word priority put your confidence in my word don't put your confidence that they can fire you tomorrow or whenever don't put your confidence in this doctor's report don't put your confidence in what happened to you as a child you were molested they were talked about you don't stop repeating you are putting your confidence in that when you constantly reiterate it you constantly you are literally worshipping that he says no no no no but what does my word say it says a broken heart and a contrite spirit i will never despise he said see see this i can't say this enough if the word of god is not your source it explains your misery it explains your frustration it makes so much sense to me now the word of god has to be your all in all that have to be your god that's it right that the word of god is god that must be your god no matter what you are facing no matter what you are so he said to solomon listen every king that will ever be king of israel don't put your confidence in the material things that make you a king because you're going to leave me and think that these things could protect you now very clear put your confidence in the word god so verse 16 of deuteronomy 17 but you shall not multiply horses to him he shall not he shall not multiply horses to himself nor cause the people to return to egypt to the end that he should multiply horses for as much as the lord had said unto you he shall henceforth return no more that way verse 17 neither listen neither shall he multiply wives to himself that his heart turn not away neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold don't put your confidence in all these women solomon listen he's telling so this is interesting to me let me tell you why there are many men of god in the old testament that have multiple wives god didn't say a word to them not one word none in fact a lot of them is in the lineage leading to jesus christ multiple wives god said nothing to them but he's telling the kingdom do not multiply do not have multiple wives don't let these things why he's saying that don't let these things distract you yes do not put your confidence but they can be a distraction to you solomon didn't listen to any of that don't multiply your goal i have already made you the richest man just accept my word you don't have to build up gold to say every day you know what open the vault look at that eight nine feet of pure gold now i believe i reached no he said i want you to believe you're rich because i say so i want you to believe that you're the richest man on this planet because it puts your confidence in what god has said not what you see i love what what jesus said to thomas when he visited them after he was crucified and thomas saying basically now i believe and jesus look him square in the face and say thomas that's nice you know i'm glad that you see me and you're convinced by what you see but he says blessed are those that do not see thomas but yet still believe ain't not powerful he's saying to thomas thomas listen there is a blessing embedded in the fact that you don't see the home that you've been praying for yet the the family you've been praying for yet the husband and yourself reuniting again on the marriage whatever but you believe even though you know he says bless it blessed are you who don't even see but you are convinced just like a kevin ewing that it's done already my lord it's a hot message tonight so listen to this now for stephanie neither shall you multiply wives to himself that his heart turn not away neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold so these are the rules okay now we're going to go into we're going to go into first king chapter 11 because now this is where everything we go begin to go downhill for solomon and it was all a culmination of what we would have read which we didn't know were laws but were being violated through the course it was like but god didn't check him on it god didn't wasn't petty with him god said bless him god so let him move on because overall he was doing the will of god but it was only when he decided to serve other gods witchcraft voodoo all this other stuff is when everything changed for him now you see he was told not to marry multiple wives right okay now let's go here now let's go before we even go there because remember in the same scripture deuteronomy 17 in a visit verse 17 it says neither shall he multiply wives to himself but it was more than that let's look at some other rules let's go to deuteronomy chapter seven okay and we're going to read from verse one to verse five now listen to these rules which will start for all of israel including the king when the lord thy god shall bring thee into the land whether thou goes to possess it and has cast out many nations before thee the hittites the gurgao sites the amorites the canaanites and the parasites excuse me and the hivites and the jebusites seven nations greater and mightier than now and when the lord thy god shall deliver them before thee thou shalt smite them kill them and utterly destroy them thou shalt make no agreement no uh alliances with them no uh what's the word that was used in first kings chapter three he made an affinity with pharaoh an agreement a covenant he said do none of that so you see what i tell you when i first read it i'd shake my head like this you're messing up already you are not to be making any agreements with these people so god says that in verse 3 says neither shall thou make margins with them thy daughter thou shall not give to their sons nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son for they he's telling them why now for they will turn away thy son from following me that they may serve other gods so will the anger of the lord be kindle against you and destroy thee suddenly instead but thus shall be the way that you should deal with them you shall destroy their altars break down the images and cut down their groves and burn their graven images and he told you how to do it do it with fire so with that said let's go over here now we're getting ready to wrap up and let's go to to first king chapter 11. first king chapter 11 we're going to read from verse 1 to verse 13 because this is where it now becomes extremely interesting first king chapter 11 beginning at verse 1 but king solomon loved many strange women now you remember what he told him not to do and he told them with these women strange women mean foreign women not only did he want a bunch of women but he shouldn't have had but he had strange women women that were not of the people of israel and he said these people are going to pull you away from me okay so watch this but king solomon loved many strange women together with the daughter of pharaoh women of the moabites amorites idiomites zidonians and the hittites two verse 2 of the nations concerning which the lord said unto the children of israel you shall not go into them neither shall they come in unto you this was a rule i just read for surely they will turn away your heart after their god okay solomon solomon clay cleave unto these in love verse three and he had 700 wives princesses and 300 concubines and his wives turned away his heart just as prophesied by the rules god had in place for it came to pass when solomon was old that his wives turned away his heart after other gods and his heart was not perfect with the lord his god and was the heart as was the heart of david his father for solomon went after astrod the goddess of the zidonians and after melcom the abomination of the amorites and solomon did evil in the sight of the lord whenever you see that phrase it simply means that he was serving other god he was practicing ceremonies and rituals to service those gods he was engaging in witchcraft the bottom line all right the bible says in solomon did evil in the sight of the lord and went not fully after the lord as did david his father so we're saying that he didn't go fully after the lord that mean he was half and half or whatever the percentage was he wasn't committed to god so he was still trying to be like okay i know i'm so golf called my god blah blah but still he was engaging in these things and a lot of people are like that but they don't realize that they already damaged goods because now because of all of this evil being injected when you continue to read about his life the things that he did to israel was unbecoming but what we about to end with is how miserable it made him when he decided to go against the laws of god he could not enjoy his wisdom he could not enjoy his wealth he was a miserable man why because he he dismissed and severed the source of what made him solomon and that was the god of abraham so the bible says in verse six and solomon did even in the sight of the lord and went not fully after the lord and did as did david his father then did solomon built a high place for shemosh he's setting up idols now in the high places that he wants worship and sacrifice god on the abomination of moab in the hill that is before jerusalem and for molech the abominations of the children of israel and likewise did he for all his strange wives which burned incense and sacrifice unto their gods and the lord was angry with solomon because his heart was turned from the lord god of israel which had appeared unto him twice and had commanded him concerning this thing that he should not go after other gods but he kept not that which the lord had said or the lord had commanded verse 11 of first kings 11 wherefore the lord said unto solomon for as much as this is done of thee and thou has not kept my covenant and my statues which i have commanded thee i would surely render or tear the kingdom from thee and i will give it to thy servant notwithstanding so god even in his anger he remember not only the agreement he made with david because i would have thought on this before but you're going to see now a generational blessing is now going to protect solomon from this punishment that god was about to levy on him in his lifetime it's going to be suspended because of david his father this is interesting i just want to put this little piece in here and plug this in here and this is why it's so important the way you live your life because even when you're deceasing off the scene the seeds that you sow and the life that you live it's going to speak directly to the lives of your seed in this case here god has already read the right act to solomon he says homeboy i get ready to shut it down i'm getting ready to yuck this kingdom of your hand right now i had enough of your nonsense you got my people who you asked me for wisdom for to leave them righteously you got them here practicing mojo and and and juju and santori and foolishness so god is about to lay a hammer on him but verse 12 says notwithstanding notwithstanding notwithstanding in thy days i will not do it i will not do this while you're still living i'm gonna hold it back listen why now for david thy father's sake got nothing to do with you solomon is because of your fathers who were your daddy who walked uprightly before me that's why many of you today i gotta pause and just stick this in here because i've already prepared a new uh upgraded teaching on generational crisis which is gonna take us even deeper than all of the teachings you've ever had before and it's going to show you this direct link between how your life is panning out now compared to the ancestors and the things that they've done in the past and how it's directly affecting you if you're not a child of god and these are things you need to know where you're going around and around in circles the beginning of my ministry i did a lot of teaching on this because i have broken generation of curses through the wisdom the knowledge of god and particularly fasting so i speak from experience and many christians are are laden because they're under the grand illusion they say in fact someone said it to me today kevin i am not under a curse i am a christian jesus christ they you know they run out all the scripture they don't study they don't read they just want to debate they want to argue okay even though the the evidence of a question in their life is i mean stevie wonder and dead ray charles could see it you are broke you are sick you can't get promoted you are these blessings make me understand you're a christian okay you're a christian for 10 years now you've never been promoted on your job they've never even made you no position in church your children go and be what why are these things happening to you christian if according to you christian you're not under christ they make me understand the curses because i'm lost i am terribly confused yes jesus became a curse for us yes the the verdict that was done at that cross made it clear what listen what jesus did for you through jesus christ his name has given us the new converts the power through the name of jesus to break generational curses but they're not going to automatically go away gear or here and i say this all the time if what you are saying is true if you was a poor person when you were not a christian then the day that you got saved you should have gone online on your online banking account and they should have been several million dollars in there at least a couple hundred thousand it shouldn't be minus nothing if you were sick with cancer before you got saved there should be no cancer in your body it's cancer christ yes mr ewing it's probably a case yes we're stealing are you a christian yes mr ewing but you just told me that a christian is not under curse i i don't know maybe i'm stupid uh maybe i ain't no sense see when you don't know how to apply or make applicable the word of god and to get an understanding you keep running with a doctrine that you know is not right you know it don't make no sense you know this but because pastors say you you wouldn't take the time to go read for yourself you believe that they don't they have a monopoly on the scriptures if you are not under the curse can a christian because they yes it doesn't get clearer than that make me unders how could they not be if okay let me pause right here name me one question one i will hear this and give me proof phone number because i won't call it name me one person who confirmed who converted to christianity and the minute they converted to christianity everything that was even had a resemblance of a curse in their life was eliminated please type their number in the comment section i want to call them right now because i want tapping on some of that wisdom i clearly wasn't aware of i want that revelation tell me what christian diabetes high blood pressure because these are crisis these are all spiritual family tell me the question all of that fell away and then then what bug would would trip them even more the banks called and said hey look i don't know what happened but the the car node in your mortgage they're all done away with it i'm looking at your accounting and your 4.8 billion dollars i i don't know i just work here show me the question in the name of jesus show me the christian that has experienced that on the day of accepting jesus christ show it to me i will hear it now i i want please give me the number if they live in timbuktu i will i will absorb all the expenses to call them because i want in on some of that because clearly i've been understanding this wrong when i was i was a christian when i was under the course of poverty i was a christian i was under generational curses i was under the christian when i was on the anti from i was a christian when i was under anti-from all of these were curses but kevin was saved kevin was preaching in the wild kevin was very fluid in the word but what kevin wasn't taught was how how to take the power of the name of jesus christ that he has made available to us the authority and in the name of jesus break these things off of dad christ that's what he said he said i've taken on the curse for you now exercise your authority through me and breaking them and you just direct those curses to jesus christ because that's the one who took it on so don't tell me no foolishness but a christian cannot be on that curse in fact if that's you jeremy the one who said that you're on the coast right now crisis bringing limitation crisis brings restriction crisis brings stagnation crisis brings sickness questions bring retardation in your life in terms of your life progress so if you're on a constant basis experiencing these things make me understand how is it that you're not under christ okay well if you feel away then you're gonna break then you you should be happy about your life you shouldn't be listening to me but anyway being a good yeah so back to this now so god says to solomon he was getting ready to shut the reading down from him right verse 12 says not standing in thy days i will not do it for david thy father's sake but i will but i will rend it out of thine hand but i will rend it out of the hand of thy son verse 13 how be it i will not take it away take away all the kingdom but will give one tribe to the son of david my servant's sake and for jerusalem's sake which i have chosen so as you begin to read god now begin the process of stirring up enemies against solomon to now make his life a living hell but this is what i really want to get to because you know my topic is the wretched life of solomon he wasn't always wretched he was happy and as i would have uh went through the scriptures uh with that it would have shown you how yeah he had an awesome life in the early stages all of the places he was building the different emphasis and the gold the silver the works right and just like jesus god predicted that when you decide to you know go against his rules and he won them i think that was in uh first king six he warned him he says if you decide not not only will you pay you know he says your seed also shall shall uh suffer the repercussions of this also solomon became very very angry very bitter very discontented he he was a miserable man but widow because he thought that his trust and confidence in things and people supersede none of that he thought he this is what his way of life was he didn't need god anymore he didn't realize that in making that decision you're cutting off the actual source of everything that you have so now that i took you through all of that now when you read the book of ecclesiastes and some parts of proverbs that he had written you now begin to understand some very very questionable statements that he made so i want us to look at let's go to the book of ecclesiastes all right let's look at ecclesiastes chapter one i'm going to read verse 2 and verse 14. this is solomon now let's start from verse 1. ecclesiastes chapter 1 and we're going to read from verse 1 and verse 2. and it says here the words of the preacher the son of david king in jerusalem which is solomon so listen what he's saying vanity of vanities said the preacher vanity of vanities all is vanity and all he's saying is that at the end of the day these things have no value the riches the women the sex the promotion these things that i'm running running down and i'm so focused on and dismissing god it is keeping me on this perpetual wheel of discontentment and happiness and he has now relegated his happiness to the next event to the next function to the next accomplishment but once he would have achieved that he realized that this wouldn't even make sense the more what i was even running this down for no more so to get that high again it's almost like someone who on drugs to achieve that high again what is the next thing that i could accomplish even though at the end of this it would be all validated to me useless it means nothing to me so he starts off in the book of ecclesiastes as a very bitter angry discontented man verse 14 says i have seen listen to solomon speaking now i have seen all the works that are done under the sun and behold all is vanity listen and vexation of spirit why do you feel this way why are you so angry mr solomon why everything that's coming from you're the richest man in the world you have all the wisdom people come to sit at your feet to listen to your wisdom why are you so bitter he is bitter because he cut god off he cut off the sauce many people how many people was on a job you and your colleague and you all could find every fault in the manager or the supervisor they sold the addictive they so smiteful blah blah blah and guess what happened that person either left the job or was fired and you or your partner was promoted and you watch how they they were humble at first just like solomon and and they've been praying for a promotion just like solomon and guess what happened when they were promoted they became the very person they despised isn't that interesting this is when you disassociate the almighty god who's the source of all things from your achievements from your life just like when i hear the word people make the statement self-made millionaire you mean you're self-made millionaire that make me understand that so you created yourself you you cause yourself to breed every day you cause yourself your lungs to expand and contract and your circulatory system to operate in your heart you are not self-made you are blessed that god would have allowed you to encounter these things but self-self you're saying to me that you've done this all on your own i don't underst so what i'm saying here solomon happiness became so embedded in what he had his horses his goal he didn't need god anymore but like all of us i don't care much pride we have i don't care how wicked we are i don't care how good we are we all of us have a high moment i've had many of them when you sit down and whether you want it or not you reflect on your life and while you would have fooled the public and giving them the impression you're doing so well or whatever the case may be you dealing with reality now sits in and now you begin to reflect i ain't going nowhere things so tough boy how long i can put on this show god when you can come trippy oh no now you're on god you want god now so solomon as we about to continue to read was a bitter man let's go to ecclesiastes chapter two and go to verse one let me go to verse 11. start off in verse one i said in my heart go to now i will prove thee with myrrh therefore enjoy pleasure and behold this also is vanity he said i can go now and try to get some kind of spice and fragrance to make me smell good he said mom but i still don't make no sense i still ain't happy here drop down to voice 11. he says then i looked on all the works that my hand had done and on the labor that i have labored to do and behold all was vanity and vexation of spirit and there was no prophet under the sun i mean he's like i got it all but i cannot enjoy how many of you are like that you married someone because you they had money not you thought they did have money but the economy went barely up so you called love your love is predicated on the financial status they had but that's gone now so so you'll look so you're going to wish you're going to do now you're going to become miserable in that relationship you're going to find every reason to complain be a man why don't you take care of your birth but only one wasn't he taking care of it before so the problem isn't him you know because many like him are experiencing the same thing the problem is your happiness was embedded in just like it was embedded in solomon's horses and gold and women yours was in finding someone to take care of you now that that has been belly up you you just like solomon you become miserable you complain about everything everybody is a problem except you the government the doctors the the rats roaches and even the ants on the floor eating off the cake that fall on your plate they have a problem except you you need to get safe you need to get sick so as you can see here people that are profoundly miserable for the most part you could trace it back to them severing god now let me tell you it becomes even more interesting you have a lot of these people sitting in pews today a lot of them but they're christians and they've been christians for a while and they're frustrated but you say well kevin these people haven't served god come on they go to church every day they're part of the praise and worship team they're part of the children's court whatever whatever no see you're still missing it you know see a person could be in church claiming to know god but really don't know him in fact in the latter part of the new testament it speaks about living a form of godliness where you're giving all of the theatrics in pageantry and pomp that you're saved you're good at the hallelujah moment you're good at uh preach it pastor and preach yeah pastor tell them they do no good let them have it but you will never point the finger at you so these people would have already we're at mass when they come to church now when they get on they got to take that off and they they the devil just beating them because they were their pride is causing them never to admit i need to get my life together i am a hypocrite the way that i'm living is not right if christ were to come right now i know i'm going to hell because i am full of hate i'm full of bitterness i'm full of unforgiveness i'm full of pride i am full of anger and malice but they will never display that they will always deny it i talking to somebody tonight i i ain't talking to you i'm talking about somebody who fit that description they're miserable because they don't have god but kevin they're preachers they're miserable because they don't have god kevin that's an apostle they're miserable because they don't have god solomon was the king of israel the richest and the wisest man in the world but he departed from god he became miserable frustrated found no more joy in anything on this planet why because he had his hope his trust invested in something that was fading away right before his eyes and a lot of people are like that a lot of people are like that live in a form of godliness they will fight you too nail to debate and that's why i tell them i don't come around i don't debate no bible i obey it don't come to me trying to prove no point i ain't listening to no point if you ain't following these rules and most of them who come into debated don't follow a lick of the scriptures all they want to do is be right not live right they want to be right i am right i tell you that's the way that it go well then live it stop being a hypocrite live the scriptures don't debate it and trying to chastise everybody else and you the one who's chastising me and scolding me don't do the scriptures get out of here you devil and listen to you so listen to verse 15 of ecclesiastes 2 then said i who was i solomon again this bitter guy then said i in my heart as it happened to the fool so it happened even unto me and why was i then more wise than i said in my heart that this also was vanity so now he's questioning why god has given him wisdom it don't make no sense because the same thing what has happened to this this dance or this fool over here is happening to him so now this is what being miserable do to a person and miserable meaning the source of that is you detach yourself from god you now begin to question even the things god has blessed you with let me tell you something right here happiness for me let me tell you what happiness yes happiness for me overall is god in my life and i know what he has done for me but here's what has happened is for me for kevin speaking about me now happiness for me is not what i want in the future or what i projected to achieve as an accomplishment or whatever happiness for me and god is my witness as i say this to you is what i have now and the appreciation of it that is stunt like my children my wife my life my health the ability to literally move with confidence and my gift to to minister the word of god with no form of whether i'm gonna be paid or whether someone is going to bless me but to truly be free that god is in control of everything and he is the one that's going to make the provisions and he is the one that's going to put things in place for me and the more i follow his laws and his rules it is by default guiding me to the destiny that he's created for me that's happiness for me and i'm grateful for that but happiness for me isn't if if i go to mercedes today and i glory in that for the next year or so and then i back to square one again no and this is why god said to solomon don't don't pile up the horses don't get these bunch of women don't get all of this gold and silver because you're gonna let that become your source of strength and the source of strength should be the god of abraham the god of isaac and the god of jacob that's where your soul should be in the unadulterated word of god so he's saying you know what's the sense and having wisdom when the same thing would happen to dumb pete over here happened to me that don't make no sense let's look at verse 17 of ecclesiastes 2. therefore i hated life listen what this man is saying this is solomon this is the world wisest man this is the world richest man but he is very miserable because he have detached himself from god therefore i hated life because the work that is done under the sun is grievous unto me for all is vanity and vexation of spirit everything made him upset that's miserable people no matter what they have beautiful home nice car all paid off some of them who are fortunate or blessed enough paid off but they're still not happy they got good health people their ages are upset with them probably lost a limb probably on dialysis probably waiting for heart transplant probably got brain tumor they're fighting wishing that they just had a portion that's a piece of what these people have but yet they're complaining complaining complaining why they are miserable because they don't have god but kevin these people are christians that's what they tell you that's what they tell you i can tell you i'm batman i can tell you i'm superman huh like my mother just tell me that that ain't gonna cost you nothing to say that that's free but what's the reality of it there are many i'm talking about sinners because they're supposed to be miserable living outside of the the safety net of god but there are many christians who are miserable when i say miserable they are they are unhappy they are their heart is eroded and corroded with unforgiveness hate bitterness anger but but tradition will keep them in church every sunday tradition will keep them in church every two they're never learning anything because that pastor been preaching to them for 20 30 years and there's been no change in their life nothing to do with the pastor and underdone him but they're following the routine and giving their parents the bible call it the form of godliness and their figure and you i use a safe place and i've been going to church here for example yes okay what does that mean you're still a cusser you're still a liar you're still a deceiver you're underminer you keep your children at war with one another those who could give you money you love and favor them those who can't you turn these set against him but you're a christian you're a believer of jesus christ and the minute somebody call you out you will cuss and row and blame everybody except you i try to help you tonight you know look at you why are you so miserable yeah you might say well kevin man this job ain't paying me enough kevin no no no see the person who have god in their life and who have god as their source and the word of god is the ultimate authority that doesn't mean they're not going to be frustrated doesn't mean they're not going to be angry but i can tell you one thing they will never wallow or glory in it it comes for a fleeting moment and the spirit of the living god bring that joy back again because they grab a hold of a scripture the bible says and i love it so much no good thing shall be with hell from those that walk right uprightly he says if i abide in you and your word my word abide if you abide in me if i abide in you and my words abide in you whatever you actually those scriptures becomes the life source for the broke for the destitute for the one who is believing for something he isn't believing in whatever material things he have now his belief is in the word of god that's where his belief in the word of the living god and i'm trying to pound this into your cerebral tonight your belief don't be like solomon let your belief not be in your husband your wife your marriage yes i said good now but rainy day the rainy days can may be ahead and the only way you could withstand it is if you have the peace of god in your life which is the word of god let's listen some more that's better dude let's go to verse 17 verse 17 says therefore i hated life because the work which is done over here we read this before let's go to verse 19. and who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool well let's start from verse 18 this one is interesting verse 18 of ecclesiastes 2 yey i hated all my labor this is still solomon which i had taken under the sun because i should leave it unto the man that shall be after me and i don't know why you should care because you ain't gonna know what happened after you verse 19 and who knoweth whether he which is the man he's going to leave as well to shall be a wise man or a fool yet shall he have rule over my labor wherein i have labored and wherein i have shown myself wise under the sun this is also vanity empirical clear evidence what i've been preaching to you all night this man is more con so into his material things in life that even what he would have envisioned in his head after death as opposed to concern being concerned about spending eternity with the god who has visited him to visit him twice as opposed to putting his focus on that he's still worried about things he's still worrying about who gonna run the show after he leave boy listen to me i just hope i touch in your heart with this message tonight and i hope this message make you restructure your life a lot of parents worship their children a lot of parents worship this a lot of people worship their spouses their job and they don't see it that way you know you know what they call it love i love him i love no it's not love when they do wrong and you commend them for the wrong or sweet that's not love anymore that's obsession that's training somebody to be a criminal to be a disrespectful person to law and order okay so if they can't respect the law of the lord how do they respect the rules of the bible it's idol worship it's not love it's not love they will never be a better person when you're always hiding their flaws they will never be a better person when you could never tell them when they're wrong and guess who's the source of them becoming a corrupt person the very one who think they're protecting them you put your faith in god follow the rules that what does the rules say about how you should rep your children solomon is concerned about solomon saying i was wise over my estate i was wise over my finances i mean life is so full of vanity right now some fool when i die will come and take all this over what does it matter to you when you die my brother mr solomon you have no more in fact you wrote it yourself in ecclesiastes 9 verses 4 to 6. you said the living know that they shall die but the dead knows nothing when a person dies they love they hate the emotion all of these things coming up to an abrupt end and they have no more portion and desire you wrote that you you solomon you wrote that you didn't remember that you wrote that so why is it that you're concerned about what's going to happen to your affairs and goods when you would have departed this site because it shows me where your heart is and when your heart is deposited from god then your hope is in the material things of life that is fading away before your eyes it's unfortunate it's it's it's very very unfortunate very so he says here he's more concerned about how these things gonna happen let's get another one let's look at let's go to verse 21 verse 21 says for there is a man that's a sodom again whose labor is in wisdom and in knowledge and an equity yet to a man that have not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion this also is vanity and a great evil how was it an evil how solomon you why don't you focus solomon where's the where's the humble solomon we met in excuse me first kings chapter three i guess i won't be introducing that guy again because this dude i don't know him he is now compounding his disdain for somebody else who is not qualified in running his affairs after death after he's off to say it why should that be a thought why why should that be a thought why let's look at some more let's just look at a serious problem let's look at verse 23 and verse 26 verse 23 says for all his days are sorrow well let's go back to 22. we can read 22-23 for what have a man of all his labor and of the vexation of his heart wherein he had labored under the sun for all his days our sorrows and his travail grief yea his heart take it not rest in the night this is also vanity so what is he saying now again he's speaking about himself you know he's basically losing sleep where the relentless thoughts that's that's uncontrollably trafficking in and out of his mind the best way i can put solomon's life right now is in the same category as saul remember the bible said after samuel had read the right after salt it says that the spirit of the lord had left saul and listen what it says and god placed an evil spirit on him he was very miserable super miserable i'm saying the same thing here with solomon he is miserable to the point he's losing sleep remember to bring in david to play the harp or whatever to sue this man and sometimes right after that that spread roll up in him again next thing you know he throw the whole javelin after david gotta run for his life so people like that are very unstable because again the reason for it is that their their their confidence their hope their trust is in material things and not the god of of all creation and life cannot be enjoyable if you put your trust and confidence and hopes and beliefs in anything else except the god of abraham it will never work so there are many other scriptures here such as uh you got ecclesiastes i just give you them you could probably play this thing over to write them down ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 19 then you've got ecclesiastes 4 and verse 4 ecclesiastes 4 verse 7 verse 8 and verse 16. ecclesiastes 6 verse 11 ecclesiastes 7 verse 6 7 15 ecclesiastes 10 sorry 8 ecclesiastes 8 verse 10 and verse 14. then you have ecclesiastes 9 and verse 9. ecclesiastes 11 verse 8 and verse 10 and ecclesiastes 12 and verse 8 the entire book of ecclesiastes is this man spewing his frustration all as a result that he had abandoned the god of abraham folks hear me and hear me well i don't care what next awesome event is going to take place in your life i don't care what you believe in god for and i'm going to use me as an example because i was so entrenched and embedded in the word of god because i was so desperate that if this god of abraham is real then he have to show himself real and mitchell is fast which i did back then and he did that and what it did for me is it fortified my faith meaning that no matter what good thing happened in my life i i will also margin my wi-fi like i always say i love the pieces i have awesome children they are blessed educated smart children i have to me i have all that life anybody else would want in life but my hope is in there my confidence is in there my confidence is in the source which caused me to have those things which is the god of abraham and that is what this message is about tonight you don't have to be like a wretched solomon if you decide to do what i did and that is walk in the statues the ordinance and the principles and rules and laws of god when you make that decision and start making your human your god then you will reap the benefits that the god of abraham has promised all of us heavenly father i thank you for your word and i thank you for your wisdom to articulate your word in such a way that even a child could understand it father god i thank you for all of those who are online tonight those who i know have been blessed by this message for them you have taylor made this specifically for them to do an introspect into their lives to see where they were going wrong as saved believers holy ghost phil so on and so forth and to see where they need to make tweaks in their lives in order to reinstate you to their to their lives i pray that you would sever from their spirit the spirit of pride and self and self-absorption or thinking that they're above other people and cause them to be like whom solomon once was humble always seeking the need of others as opposed to himself i pray right now for the wisdom and the knowledge of god just like you've given the solomon to give them to really navigate their way through life and to be aided by your holy spirit i pray for those father god who are so deeply entrenched in religions and doctrines that teach opposite to what your word says but because they call it a church because that person said a pastor evangelist teacher prophet whatever they are committed to a tradition as opposed to the doctrine of our lord and savior jesus christ i pray god that you will visit these people in fact i pray that you'll visit them before their 10 years up here on this earth and that they develop a true relationship with the god of abraham the god of isaac jacob joshua and moses i pray right now lord that many listening to me right now that have been sitting whether in or outside of a church but never ever used to talent the gifts that you've given them or some of them they're not even aware of what it is i pray like myself that they would make a conscious effort to to seek a fast to seek your face and allow you to speak to them directly spiritually and to confirm what you say to them physically through a prophet a dream or however you choose to do it i understand the importance father god of us participating in our gifts because based on what we would have read in matthew 25 we're going to be judged on those tools that you've given us and how we use them to increase the code of the kingdom of heaven so i pray father god lord that they would see the seriousness of their lives in terms of what they're going to be accountable for on the day of judgment i pray for those that see or view life based on doctrine that as long as they would have given to their church to their pastor that's it but that is not what your word says you have reiterated through the new testament in particular the importance of giving to those who are less fortunate the importance of meeting though the needs of those who don't have what we have you have blessed us to be a blessing so i pray father god lord that they would truly read the scriptures truly read what do not what someone has told them not someone's version or interpretation of it but with the spirit of truth who is guiding us consistently into all truth is going to reveal to them to show them hey look fix this before your day of departure fix this before the coming of the lord because you're going to be judged on it and i pray that they would see the serious of that the seriousness of that and begin to walk in that particular part i pray for those right now father god who feel like this just no more hope in life they have have suffered massive church hurt disappointment some even abuse your word is very clear and you said in your word that a broken heart and a contrite spirit these things you will never despise now many say that you do not hear the prayers of sinners and i don't receive that scripture the way that they put it because i am also reading a contrite spirit on a broken heart you made no exceptions you didn't say the contrite heart and the broken spirit of a christian only will listen to i pray lord for those who are crying out to you who feel that they could never get off drugs they could never dismiss the spirit of pornography they could never stop masturbation they could never stop being an adulterer an adulteress or whatever the case may be father you have made it abundantly clear according to john 15 we can do nothing without you it is my prayer and i start in the gap for those people who don't know you right now as well as those who do and whatever vices that they're challenged with are fighting right now father god i pray that you do a spiritual surgical intervention that you do a a a soul on the road of damascus intervention for them father god and that is my prayer for them right now it is your is your word lord which i totally agree to that it's not your desire that any should perish but that all should come to repentance i pray right now for everyone the son of my voice save and unsafe that the joy of the lord will be your strength that you will have an insatiable desire for the word of god not things not people not circumstances not conditions these things are all temporal my prayer is that you love the word of god my prayer is that you you you find pleasure in the scriptures that no matter how depressed how down how frustrated how angry you are how disappointed you may be in yourself or even someone allow the scriptures to be your comfort let the scriptures do for you as it did for saul when uh david played the harp to soothe that evil spirit that was upon him i pray for those who are miserable and frustrated and ungrateful and complaining i pray that you literally will do a self-analysis that you would really record and listen to yourself everything is negative everything is a complaint you could never be satisfied with the aside from the awesome gift of salvation the second greatest gift is the gift of life you cannot just be satisfied with god granting you the opportunity to not just exist another day but to be to be sick free to to walk and move and not be restricted or incarcerated to some wheelchair or you could breed and walk and do as you want you may not have the resources you might have the whom you want the job you want the money you want but you have the source of the things that could cause you to get that which is the gift of life and christ being the source of it all i pray father god that you would somehow break this ungrateful spirit off of people the spirit of they always want one want but never want to give never want to participate in assisting others so that you will continually assist them you've said in your word according to corinthians you said that you give it see it not to anyone you give seed to the soul to the one that you know will bless other people will assist other people that's the one you're going to bless that's the one you're going to give to not the one who's going to be a horror and always taking and never giving so father i thank you for your word i thank you for the promises of your word i god i love your word it is that word that comforted me through my darkest moment it was that word when i had no other hope there was no one else i could lean on there was no human being that could comfort me with the depression and the anger and the frustration that i suffered the unforgiveness that i had in me denying that i had it it was only the word of god that could have brought it to the surface and make me look at it in the face and say i got to get rid of this i pray that your word would do the same for these people i pray that your word will be their life source i pray that they discontinue putting their confidence and everything else except your word father we bless you father we honor you father we praise you and we ask these things in jesus name amen and amen so folks i am
