 Welcome to Hungry Gen. Don't forget to subscribe. The topic of my message today is going to be the heavenly currency. Somebody say heavenly currency? Yes, heaven does have a currency and it is faith. Somebody say faith is the heavenly currency. We have to understand that with our faith we are able to receive answers from God. Jesus says it is only faith that pleases him. So when we come to God we believe in what God says through his word and by his spirit. So when we come to God we must come to God in faith believing he will do what he said in his word. We have to understand that God's thoughts towards us is more than said on the seashore. Whatever he wants for our life is more than what we want for our lives. God says he knows the thoughts of heart. He knows the desires of our heart. So he knows better than what we know for ourselves. So when we come to God it's not like God give me just a little bit. God's like I know what you want and I want you to have it more than you want it yourself. Did you guys ever want to help somebody to like help them to get out of bad relationships or get out of debt? And you want to help them more than they want it themselves? Have you guys ever tried doing that to somebody? At the end of the day they're like man you're trying to steal my girl. I'm like I'm just trying to help you. That's how God is. Many times we feel like when we come to God we're like God you're trying to stake my fun. You're boring. God's like I want you to have fun. I want you to have joy. I want you to have peace. I want to take your depression. I want to take your sickness and you look at me as I'm the bad guy. With faith that's how it is. When we come to God with faith God says I know what you want. I know your destiny. I know your desires. When you come to me, come to me by my word and through his spirit. Amen church. I want to read through the scripture it says in Romans 12 2. It says this is a famous scripture that says do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Our life is a result of our mind. Our life is a result of our faith, our belief. What we believe in our lives that's what we're going to receive. Why our neighbor sometimes has more than we do is because they put a demand on God more than we did. It is the same person, the same mind. Faith is the same. Faith could be a little bit bigger or it could be smaller but it's the same request we put on God to receive the answers that we have. Amen church. I'm going to give you an example. There's a $100 bill and there's a $1 bill. So both of these are on the same paper. They have somewhat of a similar ink but with one you get much more than with the other, correct? Same thing with faith. With your faith you can either request of God for $100 or you can request from God for a dollar but the thing is up to you how much you request. For some people a dollar is a lot, which is it is a lot. You can get yourself a cheeseburger, right? You can get yourself a camo, you can get yourself a dollar drink, whatever it may be and with a $100 it's also to some people is a lot and you can just with the $100 buy so much for my wife it's just one second and it's gone. Nevertheless, it's how much of that do you put on God? Amazon is green pastures and still waters for some of the girls. Come on somebody, it's like God let give me the access and I'll prove to you I'm faithful. And that's just what faith is. How much demand do you put on God to receive what he wants for you? If his thoughts are much greater than us than our thoughts towards ourselves, towards our life, towards our marriage, towards our health, towards our future doesn't it just make sense to align our thinking and our mind to his word? Doesn't it just makes more sense for us to think like God thinks because when we think like God thinks we'll be able to receive the answers that God has for our lives? See we have to understand many times what we want is we don't know what we want. Isn't that true sometimes? You're like, you want that thing, you get it and you're like, man this thing sucks. Why did I even get it? But God knows the desires of your heart so when we get what God wants us to get for the reason that God wants us to get it we will have peace, we'll have content and we'll be happy with it. So it just makes so much more sense to be able to align our thinking our mindset and our faith to what God wants through his word and by his spirit and then we'll be able to live alive that God has destined for us to have in Jesus' name. Amen church. Faith is the heavenly currency. Faith is the visions and dreams that we give God every day and we begin to inquire and we begin to walk with God and we begin to ask God I believe that you can use my life to be an influence in my generation. God I believe that through my hands even though nobody in the past in my family ever healed the sick they believe that through your word you said that through my hands I will lay on a sick and they will recover that's the demand you put on God. Your hand could be used to steal, to lie, to kill to hurt somebody or it can use to heal the sick it's just how much faith do you have in God to use your hands? How much faith do you have in God to use your mouth to spread the gospel or to spread lies to spread gossip, to spread rumors you put the demand on God on what you have and sometimes we see people in the world being used by God so much and we say oh that guy is lucky, no it is not luck it is not skill, it is not talent it is just the came to God as a God you said it in your word and I'm standing on your word my circumstance changed, my thoughts changed everything around me changes but you said in your word that heaven and earth passes away but your word stays the same and your word never changes come on somebody I want you to get out of this message that your circumstances are not as important as the state of your mind the faith that you have inside of you is more important than what you are facing around you on a daily basis and God wants us before he does anything in our lives God first wants to change us and our mind before he changes our circumstances God does not want to change your circumstances before he changes your mind and your faith because if he changes your circumstances and you're not changed, you'll go back right into what you had it is proven, you give a poor person a lot of money sooner or later he'll go back to being poor you take a drug addict out of his out of his society, out of his friends and all these things but he's not delivered sooner or later he'll go back into that thing if his mind is not changed if his habits are not changed, sooner or later he'll end up exactly into that and God knows that he needs to affect our mind needs to affect our faith on a daily basis because if he changes that, it's just a matter of time your circumstances will catch up to the level of your mind to the level of your faith ask your neighbor how much demand do you put on God ask your other neighbor, what is your heavenly currency is it my dollar bill or is it a hundred God on purpose creates circumstances to shape our mind and to shape our faith on purpose we have to understand there's some of us we face unfortunate situations and you know I don't have the answer why how and why this person do it or why that or that but God on purpose shapes circumstances to build your faith and to prepare you into the blessing that God wants to give you their blessing that God has many times comes with responsibilities and it comes with weight just like any structure the higher you go the bigger the foundation has to be God has so many great futures so much great destinies inside of us that is locked within us but God says I want to prepare your mind I want to prepare your faith in order for you to go there I want your character to be built so you can handle that blessing and that blessing does not turn into a curse you know I've seen so many times where people receive a blessing in their life and they get so stressed out because they can't pay bills they get so stressed out with business because there's so much weight on them and then turns out that God had a blessing for them but for them that blessing became a curse because their mind and their faith weren't ready to receive it how many times we've seen a relationship break marriage fall apart why because marriage in itself it's a beautiful thing it's a blessing from God but if you're not prepared for it it can't break you under the pressure of temptation under the pressure of I need to say sorry under the pressure I need to leave my friends and spend time with her or him under the pressure of oh you're always asking this oh it's always about you it could break if you are not ready if your faith is not built up to a place where God says now you're ready to receive a blessing that blessing can hinder us in our walk with God many times I see people going from church to church going from a relationship to a relationship going from place to place and they begin to escape the circumstance that is preparing them for the next level we have to understand just like Joseph he could have not skipped the drive pit because drive pit was a necessary for him to encounter the throne many times we just want the throne we're like God you have a great destiny I'm gonna heal the sick I'm gonna do this and God's like chill I got a drive pit waiting for you dude the talking there God's like I got that mean boss in your life that you need to learn how to submit the pastor the parents that you think are so bad I need you to learn to submit to them why because the place you are going to is a slippery place is a high place where you cannot afford to make a mistake come on we have to understand that the trials are the soil in which man's faith flourishes it's a soil it's something that God wants for you it's not that God hates you God just wants to prepare you for it you know it's I have a son and he loves to drive a car every time I come home he wants to get in behind the wheel and just wants to where's the pedal he can't reach the pedal so he looks up over the thing and then he just slips down and just slams in the brake we're going like 5 miles an hour but I can't give him a car why I love him I love him so much I can't give him a car same thing with God we're like God I want it right now God's like I wait for the time I want to prepare you the once you get the car you'll be able to handle the car the insurance the gas you hit the curb you're going to have to buy yourself a tire because that's how it works in real life daddy can't pay all the bills and that's what it is certain blessings we're like man I just want to be there I want to preach you know I want to heal the sick I want to have a great business I want to just be married already you know why it's God taking me through all these relationships give me marriage already God's like you don't know what you're asking yet certain answers are being delayed certain answers are not you know coming for us right now because God says there's a dry pit there's a slavery there's a spotter for his house there's a jail that's still waiting that when you do get to your palace and your throne you're ready to handle it and you don't lose it amen church we have to see God as a good father you know having children right now you realize there's certain things you just can't give to your kids because you love him so much he put stuff down the fifth candy he said die of more chocolate I'm like no more chocolate your tummy is going to hurt I'm going to have to wipe your diapers two in the morning because of your diarrhea because there's certain things that you can't have because as a good father you've learned to love them you learn to understand that there's a timing for everything we do not understand certain times that the timing that we are in is just a preparation but we already wanted to be our destination don't mix those two up destination and preparation and two different things there's certain things that take time because I've seen videos where a guy's like I'm going to lift this to 45 two plates and they get on the thing and the thing crushes their chest they didn't prepare properly they don't just say it all that's how it is many times we take down that weight and we're like I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this God's like you're going to hurt yourself and it crushes us and it hurts us and God says I'm still here I'll still accept you I'm still going to help you don't misinterpret whatever is your preparation with your destination amen church number two is that renewing your mind is a process it takes time it's never a quick a mindset is not built in a day, it's not built in two it takes time to be able to build a faith mindset to receive from God many people feel like man all these years I'm running around with doubts, with fear, with anxiety and all of a sudden I come to church I have faith and bam God God give it to me and God's going to give it to you no it's a mindset it's a faith it's a daily walk with God that it takes time for you to get to that place and we have to understand that there's also positive faith negative faith and there's a difference between those two because positive faith stands in the word of God negative faith is the doubts negative faith is the fear, that anxiety that gossip, that lying that cheating, that cutting corners that's the negative faith we can do all we want and build a positive faith but if we don't get rid of the negative faith we'll begin to drain our life of the things that God has for us where's Edwin or Vladik my bad I just want to demonstrate demonstrate a few things that demonstrate a few things when it comes to positive faith and to negative faith when we have positive faith it's like this water smart water come on holy water so you can put that down hold this when we build our life we're building with positive faith and we fill it up and God wants to take us to a place where our faith is overflowing and we begin to get answers but the negative faith is like somebody sets something against you and you go around and you start gossiping and negative faith is like this drill it makes holes this is a stubborn and it begins to drain your life of your positive faith negative faith is like fear God said in your word that everything your hand touches will be blessed but negative faith is that another drill is it will start draining your life of the faith that God has for you it's that lying somebody said something and you go oh no how could he say that it's that gossip it's those rumors it's the fear and that anxiety well what if God's not gonna do you begin to drain your faith from God with that negative faith sometimes we're like why can't I receive an answer from God because you filled your mind with so much negative faith that you don't have any faith left with all the doubt you come to church you pray oh God is good he is risen you go home and everything's dead and you're like well that's for just church no God is with you all the time he goes with you wherever you go are you standing with God and you proclaiming or are you just saying that God I have all these things and there's these holes in your life that you can't get rid of the bad friends, the bad music, the bad movies the bad influence on your life those chismosas you know they drain you come on how do you even know how I know that word okay we'll have an altar call for them it's those things that drain your faith and we each one of us we have that it'll be social media where you get filled in charge with the word of God you come home and you start watching all these things and then all of a sudden your faith that you had believing in God it begins to be drained and you're like you begin to question God for everything oh if God would have said or he would have done in my life why is it not taking place begin to drain your faith we had a powerful message people get healed you come home you have a headache just you know it's not for me you drain your faith you come home you see your kids misbehaving you see your kids not coming home you're like well you know me and my house serve the Lord that's for that family that's not my family you begin to drain your faith God says there's gotta be a place where you get rid of those holes you close those holes but you only have the positive faith though when you come home you see a dead situation you begin to speak to the dry bones to come to live you speak to the marriage you see that sickness you begin to speak to the sifting there's nothing left but positive faith come on somebody those holes may be experiences those holes may be time what if God doesn't do it it's already been a year but it's not happening you know last time I prayed for a sickness even got worse those are the holes a man of faith has nothing else but God's word what God's word said is true some people are like why are you so positive all the time why do you so believe negative faith doesn't do me any good negative faith only robs me that only steals my joy it steals my comfort it steals my peace it takes a cup half full it makes sense it's half empty I don't want that kind of faith I want the faith that says with God all things are possible that if you believe it in Jesus name it will take place in your life don't base your faith on the result of your prayer your faith cannot be based that if I pray today and it doesn't happen tomorrow that means my faith is useless you have to base your faith in he is my healer whether he heals me or not he is my deliverer whether he delivers me or not he is my blessing provider whether I see the blessing now or later this is what God says and it's true as we talked about that it takes time consistency and perseverance you can take a seat consistency and perseverance is the key when it comes to building a mindset and building your faith it's not just there's sometimes where we come to God and we ask for something and we get it right away and it's awesome I love those stores they ask for healing and it takes place right away for some other people it takes days other people it takes weeks some people who've been praying for their marriage for years but it's that faith that says it's consistent and that's perseverant all the time God is consistency himself God says I was faithful to Abraham I was faithful to Joseph I was faithful to Abraham to Isaac I'll be the faithful for you I was always the same if I said it I will do it I'm not going to change with you if you pray it today I'm not going to go back on my word I will do it and it says consistency that coming every time to home group coming to life group coming to Sunday service to Wednesday service and just being consistent with God said God you're setting your word I believe it you're setting your word and I'm putting the demand on your anointing for my life don't give up on God when things don't seem right don't begin to lose your faith when you prayed for a job but you lost that promotion you were supposed to promote you once you lost a job don't give up on God keep your faith that he is my provider you know when you feel like you know that you're sick in your body and there's evidence of pain begin to look at God as God you're my healer because sooner or later your circumstances will line up to the level of your faith and your thoughts amen church you can't go with your feet where your mind and your faith hasn't been or else that place will crush you you have to have your faith go to that place and it has to be there many times people are like oh how did you get to that place I was in this place already a year ago with my faith and with my mind I was already you know as a church we were in this place years and years and years back we were proclaiming that this place was going to be filled so you are a result today of the faith and the mindset that we had years in the past you have to have a mind that is not in your current it's not where you're at it has to be years ahead and saying God I know the place that you're taking me I know the destiny that you have for me and it's not here and it's not now but there's a place where Jesus will shine through me there's a place where his power will work through my hands where his anointing will come out of my mouth and heal the sick my marriage is going to be restored my kids will serve God there's going to be a place there don't settle your faith in your circumstances your surroundings let your faith let your feats and your mind your faith go to a place where God has promised for you that is a place that God has for each one of us for each one of us is different maybe a career maybe a business maybe it will be a relationship that you know that you never seen take place in your family maybe to have a healthy body because everybody in your family dies prematurely out of a sickness maybe it will be just to graduate college whatever it may be God has a destiny he says you need me in order for you to get to that destiny you can't do it by yourself and God cannot do it by himself he needs you and we need him as much as we work with God we also need to pray with God we have to say God I believe that you're going to take me there without you I am nothing you hold the breath in your hands God you are my everything I cannot do it without you and God says I'll take you there you might be in your dry pit but remember there's a palace coming you might be in that jail where you're falsely accused and you feel like everything is just wrong if God would with me where are you now God says you're just one step closer to your palace and to your throne am I in someone and the last one is the Holy Spirit will build with what you give him he will only build with what you give him he cannot build with nothing he has to build with your faith and Pablo can you come you can either give God a teaspoon this looks like more of a teaspoon or you can give him a shovel can you pick that up this looks like a serious spoon the choice is yours is what you give the Holy Spirit he will still build with something you can either build with doubt and you will get doubt in your life you can either build with faith saying God I believe that you can do it and God says alright let's build that building is not a quick process building takes time and you can either come to God which is fine if you start off with the spoon it's just no problem each one of us we start with that but don't end it there my point to you is how much demand do you want to put on God because God says all of heaven to you how much can you believe that I will do for you and some of us we're not satisfied with the shovel we want a truckload and God said it's fine because I already died for that I already pay the price for that what I'm trying to say is your God is a good God he's a good father there's never a time that you can come to a good father and God compares our earthly father best earthly father you can possibly think of as a good old father in comparison to your heavenly father he's an evil person and when you come to him you can't just ask God just give me a little I just want to survive God's like I don't want you to survive I want you to thrive I want you to reach your destiny I want you to reach your full potential in your life it can put that down thank you God will not give you what your neighbor has the spirit to build with you can't compare yourself with your neighbor just just because your neighbor has a Toyota and you got a Prius it's fine your faith might be different just because your neighbor has a green grass and yours is just rocky don't compare your chapter 1 with somebody's chapter 20 don't compare chapter 10 with somebody's chapter 5 God has different destinies for every single person you run your own race and you have to say God this is between you and I you know the God is using somebody else to preach and you're like oh I was here for 5 years and I didn't get it don't run your own race ask God what is it that you want me to do because what you want me to do that's what exactly I want to do I just don't know it yet might not be the thing right now but that thing right now will lead you to the place where God wants you to be Joseph was in his dry pen maybe he was at a pot of first house and he's like man I already reached it God's like not yet so don't compare what you have right now to God is this all because God says until I see you face to face I'm not done with you yet I'm not done with you yet I have so much more for you in store that you can ever imagine what we give Holy Spirit He uses that to build and bring forth in our lives there are answers that God gives for a teaspoon which is fine sometimes we come to God and we ask Him for small things and there's nothing wrong with that there's answers also for a shovel God when we come to God with a shovel and we put a God says God I believe I believe I believe and God says I will do for you it just depends on how much of that you give to God what I want to challenge every single person this morning is that this is a good God you can't see God in the bad light that man He always wants to take my Sunday 2 hours and you know if the time goes over a little bit man they rob me God's like I want to prepare you I want to set you up I want to put you in a place where your faith is at a place where you receive blessings from God and Jesus shines forth through you what do you pen to put demand on God this morning what are you believing God He can do for you to be your 9 to 11 on Sunday morning or you believe actually that God will give you power to do what you do because it's only through Holy Spirit that He'll make you do better than your best you think you're good but with Holy Spirit you're super good you think that you'll arrive but until you experience the power that will flow through you through the Holy Spirit you haven't reached anything yet with Holy Spirit you will live the best life with God you'll have the best marriage the best family the best business whatever it may be only with God you're able to do that amen church thank you for watching this content
