Wait ‘Til I Get My Money Right (Part 1)

[Music] [Music] give my money right so I want us to learn about this concept of getting our finances right and can I just go ahead and give you a spoiler alert the title wait till I get my money right it's just bait we just threw that out here for all the people you know who like Kanye and all those other people we just threw it out there because honestly it does matter how much money you have if your heart is not right it doesn't matter like like if you're gonna do finances God's Way if you're gonna steward and be generous the way God has called you to it doesn't matter how much finances you have if your heart is bankrupt that's how people with 50 million dollars can commit suicide it's not because they didn't have things or stuff it's something in their heart was sick and so if you don't get anything else that I'm about to say I want you to realize that God doesn't want you to have a blessed wallet he wants you to live a blessed life do you hear what I'm saying it's not about money it's about the life he said that I've come that you might have life and life took a fool so if I could give you my first point I want you to realize when we talk about finances when we talk about giving when you talk about stewardship it's all about the heart everybody say that with me it's all about the heart see if you realize that right now everything gets real easy when it comes to giving I want you to go to Matthew 7 and we're gonna start at verse 1 and I'm gonna read this and I want to show you something in the scripture that you may have never seen before Matthew 7 verse 1 it says judge not that you be not judged for with what judgment you judge you will be judged and with the measure you use it will be measured back to you let me ask you a quick question was the word money mentioned anywhere in that verse money was nowhere in that okay and I want you to see the context of this verse was judging so if you judge people the measure you judge was the measure you'll be judged back okay I want us to go to the parallel passage of this in Luke six but I want us to commit to short-term memory just these two phrases I want you to repeat after me I want you to say judge not and you will not be judged with the measure you use it will be measured back to you okay we're gonna say it one more time like we drink coffee this morning okay judge not and you will not be judged there y'all are and with the measure you use it will be measured back to you go to Luke 6 verse 37 and look at the first sentence of this passage and the last sentence it says judge not and you shall not be judged condemn not and you shall not be condemned forgive and you will be forgiven watch this verse 38 give and it will be given to you good measure pressed down shaken together and running over will it be put into your lap for with the same measure that you use it will be measured back to you now this may shock you but the word money is nowhere in that verse either yet every time we hear Luke 6:38 is that offering time yeah yeah yeah and it will be get back to you good measure say Kentucky come on somebody shape like that we do all of that I've done it before okay but money was not mentioned in that verse it's because I think God is trying to teach us a bigger principle that that giving is bigger than just giving finances giving is the cornerstone piece of the Christian life and so what we do is we relegate it come on let's think about it anytime we think about giving we think money like that's the first thought like we want to give our again lower Jesus but what happens is I believe the enemy has distorted or perverted this word giving just to think of money so that we automatically check out are we automatically saying you know I got enough of that or you already know where it is and so we distance ourselves from a key of the kingdom that will allow us to reach purpose because we automatically think it's just talking about money but this scripture is not talking about money a pastor was being interviewed and the the person interviewing and asked them pastor how much do you you know speaking how often do you speak on giving and the pastor said every week and the reporter said you speak on giving every week he said yes he said I think what you meant to ask me is how much do I speak about giving money not giving because I cannot talk about grace without talking about giving because for God so loved the world that he I can't speak on having a healthy marriage without giving because you cannot have a healthy marriage if you don't have two people that are constantly giving to the marriage and see what happens is our our thought process about giving has been dumbed down or numbed because we have relegated to money so college students when they talk about finances you don't even do stop thinking your brain stop working because you think about all the money you have you owe people and you're eating ramen noodles and all this stuff and and then people with finances and six kids in sports and a mortgage you stop thinking because when they say give it's like all that ain't me he ain't talking about me you know ain't got nothing to give over here sit down don't don't don't look husband don't look wife and God is saying no I want you to open your heart again and realize that giving is more than just your money it's your time it's your talent some of you are so hoarding and keeping away the gifts God is giving you and he said I need you to give everything that God's God I've placed inside of you because when you do that you begin to form my heart in you and church Akeem giving is all about the heart look what Matthew 6:21 says because a lot of people don't realize they say this in passing but there is so much power in this verse right here it says for where your treasure is there your heart will be also let me break that down your heart follows your treasure your treasure does not follow your heart so a lot of people would be like you know if I really love it I'll give to it lies if you give to it you'll really love it I'll prove it to you some of you like there's a heart string connected from your heart to your wallet because as soon as God asks you to give some that hurts you uh you start you start moving let me prove it to you you put money in a stock and you didn't check on that stock or that investment ever before you're checking it every day why cuz you put treasure there and where your treasure is your heart is you watching the stock go up you watching it go down some of y'all check y'all bank account more times than you check on your kids do you understand what I'm saying you didn't change you can paid on the first and a fifteen but you're just checking why cuz where my treasure is that's where my heart is and so when you start asking that a lot of people are asking God to allow their heart to line up with some where they have not put their treasure can I talk to married couples you stopped investing in your marriage after the wedding and so you wonder why the love is fading and it's not the same you stop putting your treasure there you don't buy her gifts anymore you won't spend no money on dates you won't do it and so where your treasure is that's where your heart is some of us are in a place where we have shut our heart down but God says you want to open your heart back up in an area you want to go put your treasure there what are you saying to me Pastor Mike because I know a lot of you are thinking right now dad I see I knew it the turns just wants my money to church just more my money that's why I told you I was gonna die transfer I just want my mother let me help you no the church doesn't want your money God wants your money why are you saying God wants my money because if get your finances he has your heart see what you what you got to realize is God does not need your finances to do anything you need to give your finances so that you have placed your heart in God's hand and when he has your heart he can change your habits and so that's why a lot of people realize like I said the Salvation prayer area like I'll keep coming to church and I'm serving but you're not giving and it is the mode which God uses to test your heart and and this is the thing that I say all the time when we're giving the altar call and inviting people to the family of God I say this all the time I said if God can get your heart he can change your habit let me and I believe that with all my heart but let me take it a step further if God can get your finances he has your heart and that's where we try to play Jehovah Jireh and superhero in our own life we try to provide for ourselves we try to keep everything together and I know this is tight but it's right I know your booty is squeezing together I know you're thinking about all of the things that you could be doing but I promise you if you get this revelation today things that has been held up for you I just see God prophetically holding back things until he gets your heart he said you can't handle it yet because but if I get your heart I can release the floodgates he said you are not a pharaoh through you're not somebody I can get things through you've become a dam that when I give you resources you hold it all up he said and so when I look at you I give seed to the somebody I can get it through but you have become a reservoir and not a river and God is challenging us today that maybe we need to open our heart again and say you know what everything that I have is God's anyway maybe I can actually become a river again maybe some of the things that I've stopped doing because I thought I was getting taken advantage of or maybe I'm gonna I'm gonna start giving again and I want you to say it out loud just in a prophetic way somebody say I will live a blessed life I'm telling you this is God's plan for you I do not care what you came from I do not care what your family line was I do not care how broke you are right now God's plan for you is to live a blessed life and I need to speak that into somebody because you've just seen all the figures and you've seen all the numbers and you've seen all the doubt and you see it all the fear and God says if you give me your heart I can change the habits that have literally been passed down from generation to generation and I want you to see that this scripture is talking about giving and receiving and it's a principle once you receive this principle you can apply it to any area of your life when you sow a seed you don't get back a seed when you sow a seed you get back a tree that has more seeds in it you had you get back more in God saying would you trust me with the laws of just the earth like you can literally plant a tomato seed right now and you can have tomatoes for your salad after some time but why don't we come to God like Lord imma give this and I just don't I do not know oh Jesus and we're standing over one seed every day like it ain't growing and the Bible tells us a farmer doesn't plant one seed and look over it he keeps just throwing it out there cuz we never know what seed and what day is about y'all don't hear me do you you keep giving and from a generous heart knowing that God is Jehovah Jireh my provider so if he can get me to keep giving it he'll keep giving me the seed too but let me help you it's not about figures it's all about the heart and can I can I can I help you because I've never heard this scripture really taught how I really think it should be taught because remember this scripture is talking about judgment and condemnation it's saying like the measure you give judgment is the measure you get in judgment back good measure press down shaken together and running over will judgment be given back to you what gossip be giving back to you oh yeah uh yeah yeah what backbiting be giving back to you it will overflow this is a principal and so can I help my parents just for a second some of y'all be like my kids are just disrespectful they're mean they just talk crazy could it be that the seed you've planted in them it's coming back to you good measure press down shaken together and running over is your seed giving you disrespect how you gave it to them all I'm saying is this principle works and so if giving anything brings a return I should probably give good things I come on even if people are hating I'm giving compliments because what I want to come back it's compliment press down shaken together and running over when people back bite me I love them and give them grace because that's what I want and that's why I'm saying maybe this thing of giving is more important to the kingdom of God than just giving finances it's being able to have the heart to give period but can I help you define this the way that God tests your heart is through finance so this is where like huh he he doesn't need my finances what that's the way he tests my remember where your treasure is not where you promise it will be don't tell me you love God show me your checking account not look at y'all some say oh god please don't but honestly some of us we trust Visa with our provision we trust the mortgage company we trust Fannie Mae and God saying if you honor me I can work in your life like you've never ever thought possible so we have to develop a generous heart or a heart of generosity so how do we develop a heart of generosity I'm gonna give you four things that I believe the word says in Deuteronomy 15 go there in your Bible and a cool thing that we have for everybody cuz I know sometimes I'm talking fast and you got to run it back on rebroadcast but on our app if you go to transformation Church app right now all the notes are there right now and so we're high tech we're trying to go to the next level so visit it right now and you can get in you can type it in and put y'all notes I pop your table we on the way Deuteronomy 15 okay and we'll start in verse 7 because there's a story and I want to help you understand the children of Israel are in this season where God has set up an economic system where every 7 years that every debt is forgiven so no matter how much debt you have every seventh year the year of Jubilee they literally cancel all debts quick question how many of you would like God to reinstate that financial and economic structure I had glory to God fix it Jesus and so the children of Israel are in this moment and then there's this story that is told and I want you to look at it we're in Deuteronomy 15 verse 7 he says hey listen if there's anybody among you like a poor man a brother of yours and he's within your gates and in your land and the Lord your God is that the Lord your God has given you notice who gave you the land the Lord okay you shall not harden your heart remember it's all about the heart don't harden your heart nor shut up your hand from your brother that's a whole nother message but your heart in your hand are connected when your heart is hard your hand is closed when your heart is moldable your hand will be oh you give whatever God wants you to it says verse eight but you shall open your hand wide and give to him willingly that has to do with your heart lend him sufficient for his need whatever he needs the first point I want to give you is that if we're going to live a generous life and we're going to be generous givers we have to deal with the selfish heart see today's gonna be a heart check we got to deal with the selfish heart the one talking included look at verse 9 it says beware watch out hole up let there be a wicked thought in your heart look where the thought is wicked it's in your heart saying the seventh year the year of release the year where they we don't have to pay back anything the year that the debt is forgiven it's that hand and my eye is evil against the poor brother and you give him nothing and he cry out to the Lord against you and it becomes sin among you let me let me break this down see God is saying if you have in your heart selfishness it's wicked and and that wickedness turns into sin let me remix this passage let's say you got a friend named Rufus and Rufus is not the most dependable person but but Rufus comes to you and he says yo my crops were bad this year and I need to borrow some money you know Janis we got these 10 kids not much to do without cable and and you understand like we we're sitting over here but this was a bad bad year can I borrow some money to be able to get through this and God says you're supposed to open your hand and lend to him generously and don't think hold on what month is it it's only six months to the year of release that means if he don't pay me back at Rufus if he don't pay me back in six months I got to forgive his dad 9 I'm messing with him God says don't think like that that's selfish he said in that type of selfishness is wickedness and turns into sin in your heart and this convicted me because I know there are tons of homeless people I have walked past and I said in my heart I ain't giving him nothing he making more money than me standing on that corner asked him for money and God says when you give it's not about what they do with it when you give it's about your obedience to me and many of oh yeah I see looking people tight right now ask you around the mouth I'm coming for you because what has happened is our hearts have become hard because we're we're projecting what what people are doing well they just gonna go and buy some alcohol or some cigarettes or maybe God's testing their heart and he's working on them and he's asking them to do the things but it does not matter what people do if God asked me to give he's not judging me based on what they do he's judging me based on what I do and some of us are sitting here right now and we've generationally been passed down this thing of selfishness we're where we we have not allowed our hearts to be open to giving to people and so we see people and we judge them instead of being the ones to help answer their prayer God checked me earlier this year he said Michael I want you to stop just praying for things to happen I want you to be the answer to people's pray that's why God wants us to live a blessed life that's why he wants you to be and do more than what you've seen is because he wants to his kingdom to be built through you but he gives you a promotion and you're more stingy than you were before he gives you more relationship but you won't share your contacts he allows you to walk into doors and you won't bring nobody with you he said maybe because it's you still have a selfish heart and he's saying lend to your brother don't don't start thinking selfish don't start thinking like your dad don't start thinking like your uncle don't start thinking like your grandfather don't start thinking what is in this for me say give and if you can give to people he said I'll always supply you if you will always be be conscious of my heart for people for my children for my babies who are lost for those neighbors and friends and family members some of y'all are so engi with family members what I've done me wrong in the past yeah but we've done God wrong in the past too how many of us have made a promise to God and gone back on it everybody's hand should be uh but he still loved us and he still cared for us and he still looked beyond our faults and he saw the need and he met that God saying if you're gonna be like me if you're gonna be like the example you have to deal with the selfish heart God's saying I want you to be generous like I'm generous I don't want you to be selfish anymore I don't want you to just think what do I get out of this see I have a question for you why do you think God created giving like honestly because he invented it this wasn't just like something he made everything but he invented giving and most people that I've talked to or I've said something to they're like well he created giving so that his so that his work could be provided for that so we could provide for God's work and my response would be really you really think God created giving so that we could provide with our money for God's Word we're talking about the God who breathed life into us we're talking about the God who uses gold for gold for the streets in heaven did the light bill in heaven get too much for God No he developed giving not for his sake he developed giving for our sake that if we would ever get the concept of generosity that we could get into a place where we could live a blessed life and that's why I'm telling everybody with no manipulation and no gains I don't want you to start giving because somebody's gonna promise you something that's why it's so busted about so much of this teaching that's going on because they're teaching give and you'll get give you'll get give and you'll get and it's basically like a good business deal a dummy would do that if I put ten dollars in and I get a hundred dollars back I'm doing that all day it don't take faith to do that and God says that's wrong I want to to give because I gave and when you give I want you to believe me and I see some people like well that doesn't make sense nothing in the kingdom does see what God wants you to do is trust him and he says that's when I start clowning people when I give when when you give and and it just seems like why is nothing happening and then God thrust up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that you don't have room enough to receive and that's why God wants us to deal with the selfish heart and I'm challenging you because God has been wrecking me on this he says Michael will you give that and there's some things right now if God asked me to give it take everything in me because my treasure is there and what my treasure is my heart is there but if he asked you to give the car would you give it if he asked you to give the home would you get if he asked you to give the shoes even though the shoes would you give it and for many of us if the answer is no we may be dealing with this selfish heart now ladies I want to help you real quick because there's an area of giving but that that men will never ever grow up and and start functioning right in we do not want to share our food and y'all seem to not understand that's why we asked you at the drive-thru do you want anything and I'll have some of yours no you won't if you want some you might want to say something cuz all of these fries are mine and the fries at the bottom of the bag are mine can I get a Amen from all the fellas amen y'all pray for us cuz we do need deliverance but we got to deal with the sin itself is hard if we're gonna become generous point two you need to deal with the grieving heart a heart that grieves after you give look at Deuteronomy 15 verse 10 it says you should surely give to him we're gonna give to Rufus okay and your heart should not be greed so we should give and we shouldn't be like oh I shouldn't have done that because when you give to him this thing giving with the right heart is what it's talking about when you give with the right heart the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and then all to which you put your hands I want to help you understand when you give with the right heart you get a Midas touch you ever heard of Midas touch where everything you touch turns to go God says when you give with the right heart you'll give over here and something you do over here just works you'll give over here and you're thinking it's gonna come from this way and God says no you don't even got to worry about that because you gave with the right heart when nobody saw you when you stretch this it's gonna work that's why God is trying to work this in us to be generous listen to this and write this down selfishness attacks us before we give but grief attacks us after we give y'all know that that feeling when you give something here like oh I should not and the enemy comes to suggest soul out and and some of us have given a large gift or made a commitment and as soon as we do something breaks or some the kid needs something or that the tire goes out and we're like ah I shouldn't that's the enemy and he's trying to tell you you shouldn't have done that and you start having grief in your heart but what you got to realize is God it's not concerned about what happens cuz he's gonna meet the need he's testing our faith when we do that you know I just had a crazy thought and I probably should let this thought go away but I'm just gonna say it cuz I feel like saying it right now um I literally just thought after church I'm going out to eat but I don't have any cash to go out to eat and I'm gonna take my whole family and I don't have no cash to get something to eat what's up Charles you gonna bless your boy appreciate you bro you're light-skinned and pretty go sit down man Charles gave me a hundred dollars man Thank You Man I was just gonna go to Cheddar's but now if you go somewhere else now let's talk about that why when I said I didn't have any cash - Charles get up so fast and give it to me it's because I gave it to him before service and so he had no problem giving me what I already gave him he's not grieving right now because two hours ago he didn't have it I gave it to him I asked for it back and he gladly without grief in his heart gave it back to me can I help you that the only reason you would start grieving over anything God gave you is somehow you thought it was yours yeah you know you're unqualified for that job and you know God provided for you but when he asked for anything it's like God how dare you hey baby you know without me none of them see this is the beautiful thing when God knows that he can trust you then what he does is he gives it back to you do you understand what I'm saying I'm trying to find it where to go it's just so much money in here you know and he can give it back to you because he knows that whenever he calls for it again you're not gonna grieve over it you're not gonna have to pray and fast I'm on a 40-day fast to see if the Lord told me to give can I help you the enemy will never tell you to give Oh something else like oh yeah uh what I'm telling you is we have to deal with the grieving heart okay let me just take it a step further okay point number three how are we gonna be generous givers we have to develop a generous heart see see the reason that Charles gave me that is because I gave it to him and he remembers what Psalms 24 says the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof that means God does not have us lack of resources if you trust him and he has your heart you can have as much resource as you need and remember I'm not just talking about money see that's what you're thinking like I'll just have stacks of money God will give you more time to give he will he will increase your gift so you can give it here crease your ability to think creatively so that you can give it God is not just concerned about you given finances are concerned about you giving and many of our purpose is stopped up because we've stopped giving I'm challenging you and asking you right now when's the last time you gave not expecting anything in return honestly you know we can say those fake little things like oh no no I want nothing back no except follow me on Instagram tell everybody that I did this like do you understand what I'm saying and God's saying I want you to develop my heart of generosity and develop a generous heart look at Deuteronomy 15 verse 14 it says and you shall supply Rufus liberally Jenner you should be generous and you should supply them from your flock from your threshing floor from things you have in your closet from things that are in your bank account let's make it real because we always like to give away other people money we'd like to give other people's resources y'all know them friends that'll volunteer your time yeah Janice she would love to and God said no no no I want you to develop a generous heart by giving of yourself of what the Lord God has blessed you with and you shall give to him see God wants you to be generous and I want to help you understand this that we are born selfish you don't have to teach a kid mind you didn't have to teach me mind like when we come out mine but when you're born again great news you're born generous you're born again generous the great news is that generosity is in you you just have to renew your mind that's why the word says don't be conformed by the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that's why we can't look at how the world handles money and try to be Diddy and try to be all these other people we have to do things how God says to do it because then our mind transforms and God says there's my heart I see I see it in you now I see it and many of us for honestly we act like how we act with our children the thing that we have to teach them coming out the womb before they go to kindergarten hopefully share share is that my kid Oh Lord because your kid will be playing with something and and and another child would come up and they'll start playing with this like I was playing with that and they'll take it and then the little kids like okay and they go to play with something else enjoy kid run over there was like I was playing with that you're like oh my god that's my seat and then and and and you're teaching them share that's the concept I believe God's trying to teach us as the body of Christ share like like share what you have be generous with what you have and I believe that if you if you really start thinking about it after a while of you telling a child to share and they're growing up the real thing you want to say is what are you gonna grow up and I believe that's what God's saying to me and all of us when it comes to being generous when are you gonna grow up I've been providing for you all this time you haven't had to want for anything and I just asked you to share I ask you to help your brother I ask you to give to my church seek first the kingdom I ask you to do when are you gonna grow up and be like your father who loved you so much that he can't on a maybe with no credit that somebody was going to reciprocate or receive the giving God gave his son for us and it's funny cuz we start teaching these things and me and my wife were teaching our daughter when we did the stride about two series ago I thought a message called less is more and so God was really working on my heart that we needed to start giving away stuff so we went in my closet if you follow me on Instagram and I gave away tons of clothes and tons of shoes and and we gave away tons of stuff and I said babe let's teach Bella about generosity let's be good parents listen let's teach her about generosity and so we brought her in and there was all these toys sitting here and was like Bella okay there are a lot of little boys and girls that don't have as much as you have and we want you to start giving some of it away so other little boys and girls why don't we start talking like that when we talk to argue so Heather a little boys and girls can be able to experience the blessing and Bella was like not having it she's four she's like no and she was finding a reason why to keep stuff so she ain't played with the years as I know that's my blanky like you I never called it your blanky like what is what is going on and then her God mom explained it to her again and she was like okay and she put one thing over in the pile and we're like yeah yes see you give room for God to do more in your life and it's better to give and so she did a couple of things that she started getting into it and then she started giving away stuff we had just bought and it turned into yay to like hold on hold on and everything was like aha she is not giving Bella you are not giving that away we just took that this week Natalie started hiding stuff and and and stuff started happening and and the Holy Spirit convicted me he said Michael your four-year-old daughter is experiencing what many believers have never experienced the blessing that it is to be a blessing it's more blessed to give than it is to receive we unlock that four years old the engine that stopped caring about what she was gonna get out of it but that other boys and girls she kept bringing things to the pile that her mom was thrown back and puts back in her room I'm telling on you and this is this is what I'm telling you the Holy Spirit said Michael I want you to be like my child and have childlike faith because she didn't have to worry would she ever get more she knew who her father was so she could give freely not worried about what her father provide for her can I help you guys God is gonna provide for you you shouldn't be here now but he did it before and he's gonna do it again come on touch with it same God right now yeah same copper Hey okay stop what I'm telling you is that God's not slack on his promises but are we faithful to ours and we have to develop a generous heart last point how are we going to be generous givers you have to develop a grateful heart yeah look at Deuteronomy 15 15 and this one messes me up every time it says you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt and the Lord your God redeems you therefore I command you this thing today he says I command you to be generous and how can you command me to be generous because I knew who you were and I'll saved you and I delivered you and I brought you from bondage into where you are now and there are times that we have to remember who we used to be see for some reason some of us are so fancy now that we forgot where we used to be God has blessed us so much and we got rooms to decide what we want to do with but some of y'all remember that one-bedroom apartment you really remember eating Roman noodles for real like that wasn't an option that was it some of us remember being lost and in change and what God said is that it's easy for you to be generous and have a heart of generosity when you remember what God has delivered you from and this week I got a reminder I was cleaning up some papers and I got a reminder this paper right here is from August 4th 2014 and this is from Tulsa County Court system my completion of community service and the expungement of my record for insurance fraud oh yeah the pastor was riding dirty but God saw me here when I was still dealing with this see see what you don't understand is I could be in jail but now God's using me to free other people so why can God get anything from me it's cuz I remember who I used to be why can't why can't he add why can't he ask me for whatever and even if it hurts I'm gonna give it and I told him in the first service I can feel it already God's about to ask me to give something big I can feel it I'm just like what is it and my wife knows when we start talking I remember one time I came home on a Thursday and I told my wife I said we're moving out of our house and we're giving it to this person and we were renting the house at the time and it was a great situation and we didn't have a place to move to and they said leave all your furniture paint it decorate it and leave everything in it and that was a Thursday and Johnny sure came over and me and John went out of town on Friday morning and they packed up our house cuz we were gonna be out Monday cuz God asked me for that home and we came home and we packed up and we moved in with my big brother Gabe my wife was pregnant with Bella we moved into an apartment on the other side of town while I was working here so it cost us something we had to sacrifice to drive back and forth we did not have a home she was pregnant and we moved upstairs into a little apartment we took away our privacy for nine months because God says can I have it back I gave it to you can I have it back and then God opened up a home for us supernaturally paid for it did all this other stuff but it could not have happened if he couldn't have asked for what he gave me back can I tell you this is not to set me up because God's gonna challenge me again and I can feel it oh no I'm serious I can feel it he's gonna ask me to get but the only reason that I know I'll say yes cuz he has my heart because he tests me every month with my finances and I cannot keep from God what he gave me today I want to pray for you cuz I don't know where you're at you may be dealing with a selfish heart and honestly it may be generational it may be something that was passed down from your great-great great-great-great and everybody's been holding but everybody's been capped and God says you're gonna break that curse you might be grieving cuz God says to giving it like ah but you got to remember it's his anyway you don't grieve over what he's given you some of you are gonna be developing a generous heart and many of you like me this week you're saying god I'm just grateful for being here and I'm grateful that you're using me and I'm grateful that you got me in the first year of college so you gonna pay for the second year I'm grateful that you kept my marriage together so you're gonna keep going like come on y'all we gotta remember that our God is faithful so when he asked there's gonna be a point where we go up and say is that what you want god yes sir I'll do it cuz you're faithful and your promises are true if that's you in this place and God put just tugging on your heart I feel the power of God in this place right now cuz he wants you leave a blessed life but it's all about the heart and remember it doesn't matter how much money you have if your heart is bankrupt if that's you and you want God to do a work in your heart remember we ain't asking for no money there there's no offering plates at the end this is so God you know you don't even have to go to this church whatever church you go to I want you to take this message and become a generous person so that God can use you everywhere you go if that's you and you really want God to do a work in your heart I want to pray for you if that's you by faith I want you to stand up if that's you and you just want God to do a work in your heart yeah because there's people all over this place that you're saying you know what god I want to be generous I don't know I don't want to live bound by this I'm not there yet but I want to do this come on if that's you even if you're watching online come on lift your hands right now I'm gonna pray for you I feel the presence of God father I thank you for every person under the sound of my voice got right now father you are doing heart surgery this is a heart check father things that we have we have been stuck on how we're going to live our life and what we're gonna save father your word tells us not to store up our treasure and things that can fade away but you tell us in your word father to put our treasure any eternal deposit in place father God and that's in the kingdom of God and so I thank
