 Amen, we are glad to be in the house of God this morning because This is the place. This is a time where God speaks and today we have a breakthrough service And we believe that God will speak his word into your life that will produce a breakthrough That will produce progress that will produce a movement forward God says in his word that his word when he goes forth It does not come back void and produces fruit. Amen church as we heard a testimony Pastor Martin was sharing a genesis of Just last breakthrough service as we were praying, you know, she had no hope of Graduating she didn't even buy her gown and her clothing for graduation because she surely thought she was graduating until After the breakthrough service, she got a phone call saying you're graduated She had to put a rush order on that and she graduated for the glory of God You are next to be a promoted you are next to graduate You are next to receive increase in your business if you believe it's shoddy man Before we dive into the word of God I want you again to those of you that are new those of you that are first-time guest If you could please fill out one of these connect cards We would love to connect with you and after the service our pastoral team and our leaders will be out there up In the lobby and we would love to meet with you. We would love to get to know you We would love to and you can give that card to us and one of the people on the back there at the table on the left And we would love to connect with you and just to hear your story And so come on let's put our hands together for all time for new town visitors today With that being said we have a little time left. I want to dive right into the word of God and Today I want to talk on a subject called partnering with God working with God and Most of us are convinced that God has good plan for us Amen Most of us are convinced that God has a good thoughts toward us Most of us don't struggle with idea that God has good desire toward us and that God wants to do good things in our life Amen But God's desire to do well in our life God's desire to bless us God's desire and even God's ability to do so doesn't necessarily reflect or determine That it will be so in our lives Because it requires us To work together with God It requires us to partner with God. It requires us to do something on our side to do something from us God wants to change our life God wants to do work in our lives But he can't do it alone and God only works in partnerships otherwise he would have created us as Robots as machinery without free will only fulfilling a certain function in society and that's it But God gave us free will God gave us Desires fashions he gave us talents and gifts He gave us the individuality and he wants to partner with us to fulfill the goal the dream and desire in your life Can I hear an amen? Open with me first Corinthians chapter 3 verse 9 and we're just gonna read Few words and you're familiar with it and says this for we are laborers together with God Say with me say for we are laborers together with God In another in another Translation says for we labor for for we laborers with God or another translation says we are co-workers with God You know what the co-worker means co-worker means that someone Typically who works on a in a similar role or in a similar similar level in the organization So think about this for a moment similar similar role or similar level God is giving you an opportunity God is giving me an opportunity He's raising us up from where we at to work with God on His level to partner and labor with God to do and to accomplish things in our lives in our business in our family in our marriage in our city in in our society if You think it's pretty actually amazing It's a privilege to have God as a partner I know in church many times we toss these words around really carelessly and very loosely but think about a God Who created a universe a God who has the infinite wisdom a God that has no beginning and no end a God who can measure the universe with this palm of his hand a God They spoke everything that you see into existence a God who gives wisdom and revelation To all the people that come up with these crazy inventions that we have today, you know that even for example What's the table called in science Periodic table there you go. I knew something had to do with period But you know that the person that came up with it. He didn't even just came up with his own wisdom he just had a Revelation he came to him and in a dream in the in a vision a Lot of the a lot of the mysteries in the world that's been unlocked. They've been unlocked Almost accidentally in a sense, but it's God Who revealed the mysteries of this world and that's why Bible says the hidden mysteries of this world And we have a privilege and honor To work with this God You know just to bring it down to earth to help us understand because I know it's difficult to wrap our mind Around this greatness and this magnitude of God But think about it if in your life in your business and your finances since we're having a breakthrough service We're talking about finances today if you had an opportunity to get a Bill Gates as your partner or Or war or warren Buffett as your partner or any of those Rich people that have Access to all kinds of resources all kinds of knowledge and practically unlimited capital I Mean think about how much further you would be in life if you get to be at least spent two years Alongside and utilize their resources utilize their wisdom and utilize their capital How much further your business would be how much further your career would be how much more you would be able to accomplish in a short Spend of time simply having an access to these men God is much bigger than man. God is much greater than man. His resources are much richer His wisdom is infinite and we have a privilege and honor To be partners with that gonna God You know sometimes when I pray and I ask God for things and I stand in faith for certain things and It's almost like feels like you're begging God and squeezing. He's this poor guy That has two pennies left and if he gives you one he's gonna have only one left and Honestly, that's kind of sometimes how it feels like and those kind of prayers God can't answer when we pray and we come before God We have to come boldly knowing that he's able and willing to fulfill every desire and every need in our lives And he has abundance of things and if he gives us something that he won't be short on things and When we pray we have to pray and come and approach God with that kind of mindset God does not work alone. He requires your input. He requires your creativity He requires your effort. He requires your desire your passionate desire and your faith You have to work together with God, you know, it's like a it's like a crane Imagine big massive cranes and now they have such a big cranes. I had a picture but forgot to Post it up on next service. I will there's this world biggest cranes. It's it's so massive and it can lift crazy amount of weight If it would be for humans to do it on their own They will never be able to Lift that kind of weight with any amount of people Trying to lift it but because in partnership Together with the crane with an equipment a man can hop into this cabin small tiny cabin with few buttons Few level ears and they can push on things pull on things and together with the crane they can move literally mountains and They can accomplish tasks that would be impossible otherwise and they can do it quickly When we work together with God We can do things that would have taken six years in six months. Come on. Do you receive it this morning? There's three categories of people in this place and honestly in this world Their first category of people is people that work without God and They rely on their own strength. They rely on their own wisdom. They rely on their own Resources and they work and do as much as they can do They work hard and many times without no success many times They fall short and they get discouraged and they stop and they accept their life to be as it is I Guess that's all I can amount to I guess minimum wages. That's all I can do. Maybe Just a little bit more and that's all I can do. Maybe having a small business and and be self-employed This is the best that I can maybe having only two workers in my business So fire workers in my business and do a little local place do a business locally This is as far as I can because this is as far as my abilities my resources and connections allow me It reminds me a story from the Bible Peter Before he knew Jesus his fishing His fishing all night. They're fishing with the net the Bible's Peter says to Jesus that we work hard all night He says we toiled all night. We came empty And then Jesus comes on the scene is this Peter Go back into the ocean and toss the net on the other side Jesus of Jesus. You don't understand who fishermen We worked all night with our partners and everybody came up empty. What do you want? What do you understand about fishing business? But because you said so I will do it Baba says he goes throws the nets and They catch abundance of fish that the nets begin to breaks and the boats begin to sink that they have to call in for help That's the difference working with God and working without God Same amount of effort same amount of knowledge same I'm out of desire and passion But when God when you do all that you can and then God comes in and puts this touch of supernatural and God Come in comes in and partners with you You go to the next level There's another type of people in this place and you know in the world They expect for God to do all the work and it sounds something like this Well, if it's God's will for me to have money I will have money Well, if it's God's will for me to get healed I Will get healed if it's God's will for me to prosper I will prosper These are a bit extreme cases. I'd say and it's mostly in religious circles. It sounds very spiritual It sounds very Like you're you're your person your person your spiritual person But it's a lie of the enemy Because if God's wills for me to be blessed I'm blessed. Thank you God because it's his will But then if God if I'm sick, well, I guess what? It's God's will for me to be sick. I Will accept the punishment or whatever people come up with excuses I will accept this as God wants to work on my character. God wants to do this or do that He wants me to teach me a lesson. He wants to this is a this is a famous one. He wants me not to have pride otherwise, I'll get prideful and These are the care-goat of people that they expect God to do everything if it's God's will I Will be rich if it's God's will what it's God's bill if he guides he will provide and what that usually Means is that I'll if God opens the door I'll go through it, but otherwise I won't try and it's the lie of the enemy because Then when things are rough in our life when we hit hardships in our lives, we begin to blame God God why is this? Why do I have pain in my body? God Why is my marriage suffering God? Why is my? Family my kids are doing these things God. Why am I constantly short? With money why there's constant limitation God why I can't make ends meet in my life and God begins to be the person that we blame Let me speak a little bit on God's behalf today and exonerate him from things God doesn't come in and Bust the door open and says let me fix this mess and put your life in order. That's not how God works God requires active faith God requires Activity effort God requires desire from your heart God requires your input And he takes what you bring and he makes it better and he does what you can do He doesn't feed feed Multitude of people from thin air. He's looking for Filosof bread into fish He's not looking for Peter for he's not Magically having a Fish appearing a boat in Peters. He sends him out to fish. He's not magically supplying money For to pay taxes at the temple. He tells Peter go and throw your pull into a Into the water and you will catch the fish and there will be a provision God requires your activeness God requires your activity God requires your faith And he requires you to put an effort. He wants to work with you and When things go wrong before we blame God We should ask God God did I miss you somewhere? Did you did you go a different direction? I continue it go this way Did you stopped and wait and I continue going on my own? Did I not do something in my life? Did I miss something? I'm not saying go and dig in for sins I'm not saying go and go dig for things that you've missed because we all in perfect with my mistakes And we always will find them, but I'm saying that if we genuinely from a hard tried We put our effort. We did everything that we can we we and and and then we can ask God There's something somewhere what I've missed God give me guidance and guide me help me to go forward Because now you can Pray all you want To have a great family But if you don't work with God if you don't invest into your family, you don't spend time with your kids Then why is God to blame when they don't respect you they don't want to spend time with you when they grow up? If you don't work on your business, you don't learn different skills You don't learn how to communicate you don't learn how to manage you don't learn how to Save how to invest and then you come up short or you constantly can't move forward Why is God to blame when you haven't done all that you can a lot of times We like to quote the scripture after you're done all you can just stand but a lot of us all we do is stand we do nothing All we do is sit on a couch and watch Netflix and eat chips and expect that we're gonna become next millionaires because Anzander Pastor Ilya said receive to be next millionaire and I said I receive and I prophesied I'm not declared and I can make a positive confession And then occasionally here and there I Started reading a book, but I just got through chapter one and so God Sometimes honestly we relax and we find ourselves in this category It's easily to point fingers like yeah, no, no, I'm not Not there no, but a lot of times in different areas We might be working hard in business proceeding but neglecting this area and then what wonder why is it suffering or We're putting effort and time into into this Into family with kids, but we neglect our marriage and then we wonder why a marriage is suffering or this or that or whatever it is God requires an active faith requires an action So he can work and move in our life a man church The third category of people is those that work with God those people that do Whatever they can and God comes and does the rest It's those people that do the possible and then God comes in he does the impossible is those people that work hand-in-hand with God they They go pick they don't they don't just expect God to give them a raise Yes, they're praying and believing God to give them a raise, but they go to college They pick up extra courses they they get another degree they get another certificate their research They go apply for another job. They they work hard at their workplace They become they try to become a person of value something that they can bring extra to the company They come in early stay later They put in more and they pray and ask God and then God comes and does a supernatural And then God comes and brings promotion and God comes and brings raise Think about it. You praying to God. God. Give me a raise Give me a promotion and then God just takes you the way you are coming late to work leaving early Barely doing enough and he takes you and he promotes you and he gives you a manager's position You don't bring value to work. You don't know how to manage you never read a book about management You don't know how to work with people. You don't know how to communicate. You're gonna be a liability to the business God's not gonna promote you To cause somebody else's business to go down Cause somebody else's business to be mismanaged So when we pray To God We gotta put action to it when we ask God to touch it. We have to work with him, you know the other day this message of you know, I was speaking first to myself before I decided to bring here and Alone alone before I was I was praying and asking God God, you know Expand my business This year God I decree and declare I believe I'm gonna go to this level. I'm gonna get this kind of money I'm gonna make this kind of money. God, please help me to Please help me to raise to raise capital to enlarge my business to do this to do this I believe it. I confess it. I prayed and after I've done doing all these super looptas You know, I had some extra time I sit down and that God said I just felt it I just this prompting on my heart and God said like Well, I'll help you to raise more capital But you don't know how to raise capital I'm like, well, wait, go on a second I know things about business a bit here and there and so and and as I start plundering you think God said like I would bless it if you start doing it but You know and a lot of areas about business Started a lot, but this area of how to raise capital. You don't know I start thinking about you know, actually That's actually true. I said, yeah, I got it. Yeah, I guess you know I've never raised capital before never really had to So yeah, and so God said you begin to learn How to pitch your idea You believe to learn how to communicate better you begin to learn how to write better How to write better proposals you begin to learn how to Connect with people better how to convince people to invest into you and I will open the door Right there and then I didn't even hesitate. I Went about top five books on how to raise capital in the business. I Went and found audio books Downloaded right there and then three audio books and how to raise capital I went and found top podcast about the trip about businesses and how to raise capital and I start listening and I said And as I was listening I started noticing in The recent proposal that I've that I've put put together so many holes so many mistakes like the dues and don'ts and I did the do don'ts and Did not do the dues and so I'm like, okay No wonder People bypassing don't get me wrong. God can do anything with anything But that's when you came to the end of yourself and you just can't do anymore, but if you got But if you got some room to go you got some work to do If you got some room to go some place to grow God wants you to grow and God will bless you with the rest in man church. Do you receive it this morning? you know the two people that really kind of Inspire me, you know first of all first one is is my wife when it comes to parenting and and Family, you know to me parenting I kind of grew up in that kind of culture You know what you know, you saw your parents raise you parents raise you well didn't complain didn't die didn't start to death I got this no problem, you know You do the best that you can and that's it. See my wife my wife when it comes to this issue, you know She's she's different. She you know, she wants to be the best kind of mom that she is She wants to give our kids the best nourishment the best care and the best guidance that she could and she always asked me Do you think I'm do you think I'm do you think I'm a good mom? Do you think I've done the best and I always say yes And you know the the things that surprised me know she'd order these books, you know, how to raise a child How to discipline the child how to connect with your child? I mean all these things and I'm like man, how many things is that your child? I mean you just feed them change their diapers Put them to sleep and make sure there's a roof over their head And no and then she would start sharing things. Hey, I just read in this book and you know, there are things that we're doing wrong and We got to change it. We can't talk like this There are things that we're doing wrong when she's upset this is the better way to approach it instead of Saying no come out this way. It's the same thing But accomplish differently. It doesn't set the child against you You got to do this you got to do that and slowly but surely we're becoming a better parent But we could have just done what we've done and carried on with our life Think you were doing the best that we can at the end of the day blame God why our family turned out to be the way It is I know it's not an easy thing to swallow today And I know a lot of us will look back right now and we we find a lot of mistakes And I thank God that there's grace to cover those mistakes I thank God that there's grace to fill in the gaps where we fall short and and and God will help us But when we know when we know when to do better We got to do better when we have to do our part We got to do our part no need to pay the consequences and I need to struggle through life When God has made things available for us at church in our home groups on internet podcast and books that we could Get to life with less pain Enjoy life and being blessed amen church. I know in olden days and our parents they had no access to books They had no access to seminars in the case of my parents, you know, they were persecuted for their for their Relationship with God for their religion and they had to run and hide There was no time to worry about all these things and God gave grace to cover a lot of those areas But now in this day and age God requires our active faith God requires our action as many how many are receiving today Apostle Paul says this That I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I want you to notice one thing Apostle says that I do all things not Christ not Christ I Do all things but he strengthens me But he comes alongside and helps me but he takes me Where my abilities and his opportunities began he takes me from this level to the next level Apostle Paul says I do all things Not some things not few things I do all things as Jesus Christ Strengthens me. Apostle Paul goes on to say in Philippians chapter Sorry for second Timothy chapter 4 verse 7 he said I fought a good fight. I have finished the race I have kept the faith not God Not Jesus not the Holy Spirit. I did as he straightened me at his as he gave me grace As he pushed me forward as he blow the wind into my sails. I Can do all things through Jesus Christ God wants to be involved in your life today God wants to work But he wants to work through you Not bypass you Not do it for you What would be the satisfaction of things to get done without our without our work without the work of our hands? God has created us to work with our own hands and we derive satisfaction from doing things and completing things We derive purpose in our life and accomplishing things and working And if God comes in and does all on our own, there'll be no meaning to our life. There'll be no purpose God wants you to work with them God wants you to Do the impossible God wants you to do the things that You haven't done before maybe Maybe that means for you today Going back to school You make a decision to go back to school. You pray and God will give you the finances. We've seen that many times Maybe God is calling you, you know finally to start the business that the business that he's put on your heart And he wanted you to do it God wants to be involved and God wants to succeed you to help you succeed God wants to push you forward you gotta take risk and start Maybe God Wants you to start paying attention to your family to your children to your spouse pay attention to your character You gotta start doing it today You gotta start working with God The time of waiting is done The time of standing is done First possible Paul says After you've done all you can then you stand and wait and God Nobody has become a neurosurgeon by speaking in tons 100 miles an hour It required a lot of effort a lot of studying it required taking exams It required to persevere it required 10 to 10 to 12 years of school of schooling then required practice Then required continue on education or schooling throughout their career and required probably 300 to 400 thousand dollars Thousands of dollars To complete the schooling it required something And after you've done all you can Then God comes and does the rest you know we've heard testimonies in our ministry and in in in ministries in other ministries Where honestly people go ahead and go by faith and we'll go pursue a career go study and then you know They did everything they can a math studying for that math exam started for the chemistry exam or whatever and honestly after doing all that they can and just Nothing stuck just didn't couldn't Couldn't push through couldn't persevere done everything all the study And then during the exam or before exam God would just super naturally come through and they'll pass it But that's when people've done everything they can they said God I will persevere continue and honestly Since you called me you do this you're gonna have to guide me through it Someone said we work is if everything depends on us But we pray Is if everything depends on God We work is if everything depends on God But we pray Is as if everything depends on him today. We're gonna pray Today we're gonna I know there's people in this room I know there's businessmen people a businessman in this room business woman in this room There's people in their career.
