 And we're starting our second installment of this series where we're going to talk about supernatural supply. Somebody says supernatural supply. It's when God's supernatural, it supplies your needs according to his riches and your glory. Anybody wants that? Okay, I'll take it for you. In Jesus' name. Let's open Joshua chapter 5 verse 12. Then manna seized on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year. And so we see that Israel comes from Egypt and God delivers them from Egypt, takes them through the wilderness for 40 years where he feeds them with manna, and manna was the angels food. It started as an angels food, and then it turned out that Israel started calling it worthless manna. You can see everything that starts out miraculous in your life, you get used to it, and then you call it worthless. Kind of like your spouse sometimes. Say it's a blessing, and then afterwards he's saying, you know what, it's not good. Your kids, oh it's a great blessing, but then they start driving you crazy. Your job, you start thanking God, say, Lord thank you for my job, and then you say, I can't stand this job. Have you done that? Thank you for my car, I can't see, I can't stand this car, I can't stand this house, and that's how manna was. Israel was thanking God for it in the beginning, but then they were complaining about it and they were calling it worthless. We have to learn to always appreciate God's gifts for our life and never become so familiar that we call them worthless. Somebody say amen. And so Israel had manna for 40 years, and then this is what happened. They entered the promise land and the scripture says that God does not give them more manna in the promise land. He actually stops it completely. He removes manna from the menu. It was no longer available. And manna was not the only thing that was removed from the menu. God also removed Moses from the menu. And God removed the rod. Somehow rod never made it to the promise land. The rod that split the Red Sea. The rod that brought the water from the rock. The rod that brought the miracles and all of the great things did not make it to the promise land. This tells you there are things in your life that will help you to get to here, but not there. And you have to learn to part ways with things in your life that are not supposed to take you to your future. They're only supposed to help you to get to your present. There are people in your life that will help you to get here, but they will not be capable to bring you there. Don't be mad at them if they stay there instead of taking you into your future. For us as a church, when our church started, our pastor, he had a vision to see people come to know Jesus who did not speak Ukrainian or Russian. Because at the time that's the only language we knew. And from the beginning when he prophesied into us that we will have a church where people come from the community, from different cultures, ethnic backgrounds and different past. He also prophesied that we will have our own building. Now at that time, which was about 17 or 16 years ago, our church didn't have a bank account. Our pastor wasn't licensed and we did not have money. And so to have a building, when we don't speak English, we don't have the resources. We don't know what we're doing. It was impossible. And my pastor, he believes in the impossible. He kept saying that. And then he went in, we found a building. He found a building across Pasco High. This building was being sold. And I thank God we never got that building because it wasn't as good as this one. And as he went to the assemblies of God to ask for them to give us a loan to get that building across Pasco High. Assemblies of God said, we have our own building we're trying to sell. You want to buy our building? Of course we said yes. And this is that building. It used to be owned by the Faith Assembly. And they sold this building to us at that time for $300,000. Which is nothing in the money right now. When we got this building, it took us a year to find the money for down payment. It took us a year not only to find money for down payment, but also to get all of our paperwork done. And so we moved in and you know, we're people of faith. We come in before even we have the papers. We say it's ours. We posted a banner right here that says this is our building. We opened this building up before God invited bishops and pastors and dedicated it to us and the Lord. It wasn't ours yet. They cut the story short. In the process of this, a government school loses their facility. Benton had started. They lost their facility so they needed a place to rent. And during that time somebody told them that there is a vacancy in this facility and they can come and rent this place. So they came and through the translator they told us that they wanted to offer $500 for rent of this facility. Now we're immigrants. $500 is good money. So we told them that it's going to be $500. So we told them it's going to be $500. They said we can't pay you $500. We have to have an appraisal and we have to have people come in and inspect the building. And based on that we'll tell you how much we can pay for rent. So we kind of got scared a little bit. We're like maybe they'll pay us less. The appraisal came in and the head start people met with our pastor and our team and they said we can't pay you $500. We're like man we knew it. That appraisal should have not came in. We can only pay you two and a half thousand dollars. We're like well since you insist we'll have to go with that then. And the head start has been in this building up to next month. Paying each year increasing their monthly payment I think by five or seven percent. And so they've been paying for all of our utility bills, our mortgage and everything else. So in the last decade or so we have not really paid for this building. We've been paid more by someone else. God did it on purpose because most of our church was very young. And young means poor. So God knew to help our vision to go further he needs to help us. Right now we have a lot of older people who have jobs and most of our youth now have jobs. So but at that time our tithing and our offerings there was no tithing and offering. We had to as a church pay that the youth comes to church because there was no money for gas. And God provided head start to be like manna for us in this process. But something shifted with our church as it happened with Israel is God stopped the manna. It wasn't because God was punishing them it's because they matured and they came to a new season where now they were eating from the produce of the land. And as some of you know that wonderful head start has been a blessing of God for our church is no longer going to be in this building. They didn't get approved for funding there's other stuff. But the real reason why they are moving out is because we need more space. The real reason why we're moving out is because there are people who call this church home who's going to start tithing this week. The real reason they are moving out is because we are no longer teenagers who are using our parents money to get to church. We have our own jobs now we have our own careers and we now can support the church instead of depending on the government. Can somebody say yes. It's like one pastor who came to his church and he said I have a good news and a bad news. The bad news the roof of the church is leaking we need a new roof. The good news is we have the money. They are in your pocket. God has a way to help this ministry go further and that way is you and me. Amen. And this is where things get quiet. Everybody was saying amen praise God. As long as we were talking about getting something from the Lord but being used by God this is where things get quiet. Do not worry we're just the beginning. I want you to see this that Moses dies, man stops, the rod stops working. Yet the hope of the promised land does not stop. When Moses died rod stopped working and man has stopped. God did not come to Israel and say well guys this is the best I could. I brought you clothes. My homeboy Moses is gone. Man has stopped, ran out of man. He all ate for 40 years. You completely bankrupt my heavenly refrigerator. Man is gone. The rod ran out of all its power. And so guys this is as close as I could get you. We are done. In fact Israel never once complained or whined or got discouraged that three most important things in their life that helped them for 40 years are gone now. Moses, man and the rod. Israel. Smooth transition. Go from the death of Moses to Joshua. To Joshua who's not as powerful as Moses. Who doesn't go up the mountain and fast for 40 days without water and food. Joshua who doesn't talk to God face to face. God, Joshua he's just a little boy. He was an usher in the tabernacle. Joshua was just make sure people get that on time and Moses leaves. Joshua was not Moses. There was no man and there was no rod. But the promise of the future land was still intact. I want to tell you something right now. When your Moses dies. Your hope for the future should not die with him. If one job you had that was a source of income for you stopped. God's hope and God's promise for your provision does not stop. Maybe you had a relationship where the husband was there and he was providing for the family and today there is no more husband. Maybe he passed away and today you're looking and you say how can I go into my future. When Moses is dead. Listen Moses is dead. It's not the end of the promise land. Actually it's the dawn of the promise land. I am not in any way indicating you should kill your Moses. All right. I don't want you to go to your husband say honey you got to go. Why? Because I'm waiting for Joshua. The devil is a liar adultery is a sin. Okay. And the fear is a sin. We're not talking about that right now. But we're talking about if you found yourself in a situation. Where your business did not make it through. A certain idea you were hoping to really make your money or to bring you prosperity and it's not taken off the ground. And it feels like man this is tough. The hope and the promise of God is dead. Listen never attach God's promise to an idea. Attach it to him. He made the promise. He is responsible for the promise. Never put all of your eggs in one basket. Never make people the rug you stand on. You know sometimes people say things like well I felt like the rug was pulled from under my feet. That's your problem. Never put anybody under your feet as a rug. People are scaffolding. When they are removed the wall still stands. When people walk out of your life Abraham a lot leaves. Word lot is veil. That means you can see more clearly. When lot leaves you don't weep and veil. You have a veil removed from you and you have to see clearly. You have to be a person of hope. No matter who leaves. No matter what dies. My future is not attached to those people. It's attached to God. No matter how talented and how great certain people are in your life or even in a team or myself. When I am gone someone else is gone. God's purpose for this house is not attached to Vlad. It's not attached to Malachi. It's not attached to Ilya. It's not even attached to you as special as you are. It's attached to him. He builds this church. He grows this church. He leads this church. He is the God of this church. Can somebody say a man? Your job is not your source. There is one source. His name is God Jehovah Jaira. It's not your job. It's not your education and it's not your diploma and it's not your connection. The first point is this. New season same source. Even in the new season you must understand your source is the same. Right now as a church we are entering a new season. Even new season financially. Even new season in how much of this facility we are going to use. But as we are in the new season we still have the same God who was with us 15 years ago. 10 years ago who let our church up to this point. Can somebody say a man? I want you to write down under point number one. You are finished with manna. God is not done with you. When manna stopped God didn't stop with Israel. Israel stopped with manna. When Moses died God didn't stop with Israel. Israel was done with Moses. When the rod stopped being effective the power of God didn't stop. Israel was done with the rod. God was not done with Israel. When it start leaves we are done with head start. God is not done with us. When we have prayer line without anointing water we are done with the anointing water. God's anointing is not done with us. If your husband left you are done with him. God is not done with you. If they fired you from your job you are done with that job. God is not done with you. If that job is not enough to supply for your needs that probably means you are done with that job. But God is not done with you. Never see the stopping of manna as God saying I am done with you. No, no, no, no, no, it's you done with it. God is not done with you. Oh Jesus. When Elijah came to a brook and the Bible says that ravens were bringing him meat, which is supernatural by the way, because ravens don't share their meals with their children. For ravens to share their meal with Elijah is supernatural. And they brought him meat, they brought him steak. And Elijah was drinking from the brook but the Bible says the brook dried up. It was a blessing of God a year ago, but now it's dead. And Elijah didn't go in, Father God, Father God, breathe on this brook, produce, let the water flow, let the wind flow, let the water flow, no, no. Elijah realized that the brook is dead, the stream, the river is not. My river is God. My brook is my job. My brook is my career, but my river, my source is God. You're done with the brook, God's not done with you. It has to be imprinted deep inside of you when seasons shift in your finances, that you are done with it, God's not done with you. That devil will sit on you and simply say, oh, see, God is done with you. Listen, you failed, you're done. Your best days are over, it's over, tap out. But listen, you tell that devil, I'm done with you, I'm done with you, I'm done with you, I'm done with you, and I'm done with you. He is not done with me. Somebody give God a praise right now. Somebody give God a shout right now. God's not finished with you. Touch your neighbor and say, he's not done with you. Touch your other neighbor and say, he's not done with you. God is at work, God is at work in Jesus' name. Number two, I want you to write this down. New season means new sacrifice. Israel stepped into a new season, but God was still the same. Moses wasn't there, but God was there. The rod wasn't there, but the ark was there. Israel stepped into the new season, there was no more manna, but God's presence and God's provision was still there. New season, new sacrifice. Israel didn't really sacrifice in Egypt, because when things are taken from you by force, it's not a sacrifice. When you have to pay for your tickets, that's not a sacrifice. You didn't sacrifice to the government, the devil is a liar, okay? You had a ticket, that's not a sacrifice. It was taken from you, you didn't give it willfully. So Israel kind of lived like this for a long time. Until one day they got out of Egypt and God blessed them by Egyptians opening up their hearts and paying them back. I actually heard a lawyer from Egypt who was suing Israel for robbing the nation of Egypt because when they were getting out of Egypt. And of course he lost because the Jewish lawyer sued them. He says they were not actually robbing Egypt. They were getting their payment, they were getting their salary back from Egyptians who would hold it from them for 400 years. And so God paid them back and they walked out of Egypt. Things were great, but Israel didn't really learn how to sacrifice. They took the money that they got from Egypt and quickly, instead of giving it to God, they made a cow out of it. And it wasn't a cow that produces milk, it was a cow they worshiped. And so you could see that they didn't know how to handle money properly. They didn't know how to invest it, they didn't know how to give it. So what they did, and not only they wasted it, they actually made an idol out of it. A lot of people, a lot of people, when you are a slave in your mind about finances, you worship money instead of worship with money. That is really two things you're going to do with money. Worship with it or worship it? And Israel first worshiped it. But later on in a promised land, they learned how to worship with it. How do I know that? Because when they enter the promised land and God says, you guys are about to conquer what you've been promised. And this first city that you are going to attack is going to be called Jericho. And this Jericho, when you enter it, I want you to take all the good out of this Jericho and give it to me. All the bad, kill it, burn it and destroy it. Now imagine you are an Israelite. You've just been surviving for 40 years. You finally have a dream of having your home, of having your yard, your vineyard, your well, having like three sheep, few cows and some pigs and running around your farm, your dream coming true, you're seeing that with your eyes. And as you are entering there, God says, by the way, I know you're excited to possess your possession. I know you're excited to have this promise. The best things from the first city, give it to me. And the rest of it, burn it. You're like, for reals, Lord? What about? Who's going to take care of me? And I want you to see this. None of the Israelites were objecting to God. None of them were like, God, why? Because see, when you have a new mindset, you see sacrifice, not as God taking something from you, but as your opportunity to put Him first in your life. And that's exactly what Israel did. They gave God their Jericho, the first city of the promised land. They offered it to God. Why do we put God first in our finances? Write this down. When you're tied, when you give God the first, what you're doing is you're acknowledging that you know who is the source of your blessing. Or in other words, it's an acknowledgement where your blessings come from. That your blessings come from God. They don't come from your strength. They don't come from your connections. They come from God. Amen? When you put God first in your finances, you're saying, I'm not buying God's blessings. I'm fact, actually, in fact, I'm acknowledging that He is the source of my blessing. Sometimes we forget that. And I believe God reminds us of that. See, Israel, there was one guy who decided that he did not need to put God first and he could, you know, achieve the system. He could take what he wants and say, well, this whole giving thing is for them. I need money. I need me some Babylonian garments. I need me some gold. I need me some silver. I don't have time for all this. God is doing just fine. I saw the priests wear what kind of garments they wear. I saw how much money they have in a treasury in a tabernacle. God doesn't need that money. And he took it and put it under his tent. And God taught him a lesson in the next city. And this was the lesson. It was a small city which they should have conquered like this. And they were defeated and 36 soldiers died. What was the lesson? All of your victories don't come from you. They come from me. Never let God remind you of that. When you put God first, you're saying, Lord, you don't need to remind me that my victories come from you. I know that. I'm reminding you that my victories come from you. Because if God lets me be beaten by a city of I, by a small little city, I don't want that. I'll rather start with the city of Jericho saying, Lord, I know that you are my source. Not my cleverness. Not the fact that I never did drugs. Not the fact that my driving record is clean. Not the fact I've never been in jail. Not the fact I come from a good family that taught me how to manage money. Not the fact that I plowed through the Ramsey classes and Robert Kiyosaki's books. Not the fact that I don't waste money, but I invest money. None of that stuff is the source. All of that is the channel. You are the source. My blessing comes from you God. And that's what you remind God of. Come on, Saban. We went out for a dinner with a couple from our church. And this young man shared a testimony of his co-worker who is his friend. And he goes to a local church here in town. And he would go to the church all the time, but tithing wasn't his thing. He was kind of a tipper. He would tip God. Tipping is kind of like, if you feel good, you're just going to give you bucks. You look at your wallet. Oh, you have five. Okay, five to God. Twenty for the McDonald's afterwards or some other meal. And so he was kind of like irregular. It was all about the heart for him. It has nothing to do with tithing. He wasn't a tither until he had an accident in which supernaturally he escaped death. He was supposed to be dead in that accident, but he didn't. No problem with him at all after that accident. He sat in the church and God started to convict him. That listen, you're not being responsible and you're not putting me first, even though I protected you. He got so convicted with his wife, he decided to put his life straight and decided to tithe faithfully. Tithe first, not tithe afterwards, not see if he has enough, but tithe in the beginning. As he started to tithe, him and his wife also signed up for Dave Ramsey's classes of financial peace university. He started to pay after debts. They started to focus on paying after mortgage, saving money also for their kids' college. And he came and told his mother-in-law. He told his mother-in-law, he says, hey, I'm letting you know that this accident shook me up. I became faithful tithe and we started to take care of our finances and we were paying off our home and they had 128,000 mortgage left on their house. Two days later, his mother-in-law comes with a check of $128,000 and pays off his mortgage. This is a good time for every man to say, Lord, send me the mother-in-law. All I need in my life is just a good, rich mother-in-law. And those of you mother-in-laws who are here and you have money, may the Lord move on you. God did a miracle. When you put God first, you're acknowledging where your blessings come from. The second reason why we put God first is that one touch of God's favor is more than years of our labor. When you're putting God first, what you're saying, Lord, is this, one touch of your favor. It takes one person to write a check and a lot of your financial problems can be gone. It takes about 15 to 30 years to pay off $188,000 or $128,000 mortgage, but God can do it with one check. God can do it in your case with one check. You know how long it takes to build a house? How long it takes to pay off a house? But God gave houses they did not build to Israelites in just simply one spoil in one victory. I want to tell you something. When you're putting God first, not only you're acknowledging, you're my source, God, but you're also saying, God, one touch. You can... And all of my financial problems will be gone. Lord, you can just touch my case and thousands and millions of dollars can come into my life. It's not about money, but let me tell you something. God touches it, stuff can happen. Come on, somebody. God can just type a wrong number or a wrong zero on the computer and money can be added to your account. It's just zeros. How hard is it to add a zero on the keyboard? You may say, well, there are systems. Yeah, did you remember that there is a God who created systems and created them in just split seconds? This same God can do miracles. I watched this week testimonies, as I was running on the treadmill. I was watching testimonies of people who get supernaturally dead wiped from their accounts. I'm talking about, like, eight, $9,000. They received prayer the next day they went and they looked at that account. One particular lady not only had the whole debt wiped out, her credit score supernaturally went from the lowest to the highest. She kept checking it every week just in case there's no glitch in the system. Until this day, everything is fine with it. It's just God just messing around with the computer system. See, when you mess around with the computer system, stuff goes bad. When God messes around with the computer system, stuff goes good. Somebody give God some praise in this house. Lord Jesus mess up with the computer system. I receive. When I acknowledge God, when I put God first, not only one touch of God's favor can do more than years of our labor, but one more thing that is important to notice is that all of your life will soon be reduced to only a dash. Yes, you don't have to give all of your money to God, but you have to live with this awareness. You can't take any of them with you to heaven in your casket. You can't take any of them with you to heaven. I love going sometimes to cemeteries, but not in the night, only during the day. And I remember we were in Massachusetts State in this couple's house and across the street they had cemeteries. I went for my prayer walk and I went to the cemetery. I don't get wrong ideas. I wasn't there trying to communicate to the spirits. Just talking to the one spirit. But as I was watching, I saw different people and they started to kind of almost relive. Imagine these people's lives. They worried about their mortgage. They tried to pay off their phone. They tried to get the latest, the newest, the coolest, the greatest things 20, 40 years ago. They were focused so much on that and I'm looking at them and I see their whole 80 years, 60 years, 70 years, 40 years reduced to one fat dash. Think about it. Everything you're concerned about. Everything you worry about. You can't take it home with you to heaven unless you send it ahead of you by investing, leveraging, or using it for the kingdom of God. Always live with that awareness. When the devil sits on you and says simply, don't give, don't be generous. Don't put God first in your finances. Remember, when you put God last, it'd be kind of awkward when you come to heaven. And you say, Lord, can you let me in? And God said, well, you've been always pushing me off. We don't want to live like that. We always want to put God first. He's not there to take anything. He wants to be first so that our eternity is spent in His blessings because of what we give here on earth. Can somebody say amen? When we tithe church, when we tithe, we put God first. Secondly, when we tithe, we put fear last. When we tithe, we put fear last. People don't give their finances for two real reasons. One, God is not first. Number two, fear is first. People say sometimes, well, you don't understand, I don't have money to tithe. That's not the case. The widow who didn't have anything when she gave the last and Jesus complimented her. Like, if I would see a widow in our church who I know has no money at all and she has last $50 and she stood there in the lobby and gave $50 in the offering basket, I'm gonna tell you something. I would find the key, open that thing up and give everything that's there back to her. I would go and find money and give, I would never stand there and say, awesome! That's brutal! And Jesus stands there, she gives everything and he says, you know, guys, this woman, she gave more than anything. Why? Because God never looks at how much you give. God looks at how much you have left after you've given and she had nothing left. And Jesus says, that is awesome. Why? Because on this earth, life would be reduced to a dash anyway but she is investing into the future. Did you know that she gave into the temple that was corrupt? The very temple, Jesus churned the tables. The very temple where people were hypocrites and Jesus said what she gave mattered. If I would have been Jesus, I would have been like, woman, don't give money to the temple, they're corrupt. They're gonna kill me. I'm God and they're gonna kill me. Take the money away, give it to my ministry. See, some of you, your excuse for not giving. I'm not giving why. I'm just not sure where the money goes. I think Pastor takes all the money. I saw what he drew. I'm pretty sure he takes all the money. Really? It's funny how when you Starbucks, when you go to Starbucks, you never wonder where the money goes. You don't buy your $6 drink that has half of it. I say, you're like, I wonder, where does the CEO spend the money? I can tell you where he spends the money, but you're not gonna like it. But when it comes to the church, the only time where you actually wonder where your money goes, where your money actually goes to something good. But where your money goes to something bad, you don't even think about it. Why? Because the devil is a liar. Some religious demons are gonna pay today. Gonna suffer today. Some of you came into there, man. You're already not feeling comfortable. It's completely fine. We're gonna keep it real today. We're gonna keep it straight. I'm gonna tell you, I believe this. I preach it. I live it. And I'm not ashamed to talk about it. You may say, well, Vlad, it's money. I brought a new guest today. I like what Maria Murillo said. One guy went to Africa and he says that I went to Africa, a poor country, and I couldn't talk to them about giving because they were so poor. And Maria asked him back. He says, I'm pretty sure you couldn't talk to them about healing because they were so sick, huh? The reason why we don't put God first in our finances is because we're scared. You know what we're scared of? He won't come through. It's really fear. Fear is bondage. Faith is freedom. Fear does three things in finances. One, it keeps you away from giving. Number two, it keeps you away from investing. And number three, it keeps you away from enjoying your money. I'm all for the emergency fund. I'm all for having a safety net. It's all important. It has its place. But if you live your life by fear and you're saying to Dave Ladd, the reason why I don't tip, the reason why I don't type but I only tip is because honestly, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will not have enough. Well, I'm sure I'll not have enough. Well, according to your faith, may it be done to you. Don't live like that. When you type what you're saying, God, is I trust that the rest of the 90% that I have, you will bless it and not only I will have enough to pay my bills, I will have enough and more than enough because I am believing for your supernatural blessing. Can somebody say amen? Don't live in fear in your finances because fear, while the fear tells you today, oh, you know what, if you're afraid to give so you can get rich, fear is lying to you. You will never get rich because you would hold from God. Because this fear that holds you back from giving today, tomorrow it will hold you back from investing. Tomorrow fear will paint the worst image possible about an investment opportunity and you will stay away from it and the day after, the fear will hold you back from enjoying the money that you have. And you will keep saving for the emergency and you will be surprised how they will come on time. Why? Because you prepared for them. God doesn't want you to work for your money so you spend them on emergencies. God wants you to spend your money on your family, on your wife, on your kids, on yourself. Don't get me wrong, emergencies happen. But I don't want us to live our life saving for them, preparing for them and waiting for them. I don't want us to live our life saving our precious money, the one that we worked hard for so that God blesses us so that we can invest, so we can give and so we can enjoy our resources with our families. But when you live in fear, you start to do this. What will other people think? I know I have extra, I've been faithful, I've been a giver, I've been investing properly and if I buy a new car, what will my family think? You know that it doesn't matter what they think. I tried to pay utilities with people's opinions. The payment never went through. It always got stuck. If they, their opinion cannot pay for my bills, it won't keep me from sleeping or enjoying my life and it shouldn't keep you from yours. Is somebody saying that? Is somebody saying that? New season, same source. New season, new sacrifice. Don't be afraid to sacrifice. See, when we tied, we attract God's blessing. But when we sacrifice, we attract God's miracles. Why? Because every time you sacrifice, you become a miracle to someone before a miracle comes to you. I asked myself this question because I did not see God's miracles in my finances until four years ago. I saw God's blessing in my finances. This is what God's blessing was. I was able to save, I was able to invest, I was able to make little but make much out of it. I was able to see that that money that I work for, work for me, I was able to use every square footage of my house and leverage it for rental income. I saw God's grace and I saw God's blessing, but I did not see miracles. I heard people get up and say things like, God can do miracles in your finances and I'm like, I always felt fishy about it. I was like... I'm like, no, you're just lazy. You're just waiting for God to do something that you should do. I always found an excuse in my mind, but in reality I did not experience those miracles because I only experienced blessing until something happened. And I'm going to share something with you. The reason why I never experienced miracles from God, I actually was never a miracle to someone else. There's not one person in the world at the time who could have said to God, thank you for Vlad. Because I got a $10,000 car, it was given to me as a gift. There was not one person in the world who could say that. There's not one person for whom I became a miracle. No wonder they never came to me. And when miracles started to happen to me, but let me tell you, before that, I became a miracle to someone else. Yes, sometimes it was little. Sometimes it was an iPhone that was 600 bucks and instead of selling it, I blessed somebody. Sometimes it was washer and dryer. Sometimes it was furniture. Sometimes it was a PC laptop. Sometimes it was simply something in the kitchen, a coffee maker. But I just made a decision. Everything in my house, including a house, one time in my life I will give it away. And I've went through everything except the house yet. And the reason I cannot give the house is because somebody needs to pay for it first. Some of you in here. Jesus name. So into the good soil, it will go to someone else. But that's been my dream. As of today, me and my wife, we gave six cars away. One car we gave, I became a miracle to someone. It might not have been a big deal for me, but to that person, it was a miracle. No wonder I started to experience miracles. Miracles, I mean, is when random people, you don't know who don't even think about you. God tells them the exact amount to give to you and that's exactly what you needed or that's exactly what needed to be done for a particular mission. Or like last year on my birthday, I already gave one car away before my birthday and then I decided to just kind of feel like just grateful to God. I said, Lord, I just feel so grateful. I just want to give one more car away just because it's my birthday. And so I told my wife, she's like, yeah, if you feel it, let's do it. There was only one problem. I just didn't have the money. But I had the desire. And so I already know God in this area really well. So I take risks and I jump without even thinking in this area because I already have a little bit of experience. So what I did is I asked Pastor Martin, I said, Martin, I want you to find me a car. It's within this amount of money. I want you to get me the car and then I'll get you the money. So I didn't have the money. He got the car on Friday. I gave it away on Sunday in the sermon. I didn't have the money to pay for it. It was supposed to be supposed to collect it on Monday. I gave the car away. I was like, Lord, we have about 24 hours. We'll figure this out. People came from different cities on that service. People that I don't know. I didn't know how they knew about my birthday. But it was twice as much as how much the car was given. It was given to me in envelopes on that service. Talk about miracles. On Monday, when I got the car, I paid for everything. And I stood there and I'm just crying before God. And I was like, Lord, this is so awesome. Let's do it again. He was like, stop. And I felt like God was saying, Vlad, I'm so happy that you took the risk and didn't process it through. Because you did not know what's going to happen on Sunday. You just took the risk and you saw my power. God wants to do miracles, not just blessings. Come on, somebody. Amen. Hallelujah. Now, some of you right now, you're not even at the blessing level. The whole tithing thing is still kind of there. God's going to take you there slowly but surely. And we're going to address the last point and then we're going to come to prayer. I want you to write this down. New season, new supply. New season, new supply. I mentioned there is miracles from God. In order to have miracles from God and finances, ask yourself a question. Am I a miracle from God to someone else? Secondly, I want you to mention, I want you to write this down, is that God doesn't just want you to work for money. God wants money to work for you. I have to, I know that this may sound like a financial thing. The problem with my generation is my generation goes to school, goes to college to learn one thing, how to work harder at making money. That's not how the world works. People who actually make a lot of money don't work for their money. They have their money work for them. Israel did not work for the houses. Their houses work for them. God wants you to shift your mindset and not to think like an average person that lives in this country. God wants you to think like kingdom person, which means that you don't buy with your precious money, liabilities. Car is a liability unless you're using it for Uber. You don't buy things that are toys or buy clothes with money, but you buy things that can help you generate money. Are you with me, church? When I was 20 years of age, I wanted to buy a brand new car to your recovery from a dealer. It was my mistake, my bad. I heard a preacher who said he always drove cars that had a lot of miles, and then he finally got a car that had zero miles. And the problem is this preacher was 50 years old, and I was 20. So I got this revelation. I need a car with zero miles. Nobody was there to snap it out of me, so I went and was about to get a new car. And I talked to a person in our church, and he said, hey listen, why don't you use this money to buy a property and let the property buy you a car? And this way you got both and you're not paying for neither. I said that is a brilliant idea. And yes, I made a mistake because I bought a new car, but I didn't pay for that car. I bought a property and the property paid for the car. The car was paid off, I kept the property and eventually we sold that property and gave that money to the missions. Don't buy things, buy assets, buy things that can make you money. Otherwise you're just simply in the same rat race that you're going to be always in, amen? And then God not only wants us to use our money to work for us, but God wants us eventually to make money out of the things we're most passionate about. God wants us to profit from our passions. What does that mean? That means if you do your job, but it makes you a lot of money, it makes you good money, but you hate your job, that's not the goal of God for you. Eventually you have to dream of doing something you love. If it's construction, if it's painting, if it's music, if it's speaking, if it's whatever it is, you have to aim to eventually do something in life that you're passionate about. Even if it makes you less money than what you have right now. Are you with me? We're going to bring this message to an end. Prosperity comes from work and warfare. Write this down. Prosperity comes from work and warfare. Work is when we work smart and work hard. And warfare is three things. When we tithe, God fights for us by rebuking the devourer. When we tithe, God also wants to fight in us. What does that mean? God wants you to fight the negative thoughts of poverty, the negative thoughts of lack, the negative thoughts I'm not going to make it inside of you. And the third thing is God wants to fight through you against every spiritual force, every curse that comes against you in your finances. Amen. I want to show you an example of how our finances could be and how they should be. Spiritual world is real. And the devil is interested in keeping the money away from God's people. Because if you give money to bad people, guess what's going to happen? Human trafficking will happen. Murder will happen. What's going to happen? Drugs will happen. I watched a little segment yesterday on one of the biggest drug lords in the world who was from Colombia. And he was so rich. He was making millions and millions of money every single day. He was more than any other company in the world at the time. And he wasn't doing anything good. What he was doing is he was literally selling drugs and killing people. He had so much money that he had nowhere to stash him. All of his ceilings were full with $100 bills. His couches had all the foam removed and put money there. His beds had foam removed and put money there. His mom was complaining because all the couches had hard, instead of soft foam, they had cash on him. You know what he did with that money? He simply paid a million dollars to kill a police officer or an army person. Over 200 people were killed because he paid for it. Human trafficking, drugs, heroin, people got hooked and ruined their lives. Why? Because the guy had money. If he would have no money, he would never be able to do anything without that. I believe devil was sitting there and he was happy that this guy had all the money because he was so messed up in his head. The devil wants bad people to have the money and good people not to have the money. Because if money ends up in your pocket, you're going to pay for people to save people. You're going to sponsor missionaries. You're going to build hospitals. You're going to build orphanages. You will pay off this church. You will put more people on the staff so we can have more people coming to intership. You will sponsor projects that will help people because money in your hands will only advance the kingdom of God. I believe in that. How do I know that? Because the money you have right now already are helping other people. And God wants that money to come to his children so that on his earth, his kingdom is spread. And that money to be stopped from drug dealers, from mafia people and all kinds of bad people. And I believe in that in Jesus' name. That all the people who are using their money to destroy people, that they will get stopped and that they will get in jail in Jesus' name. The most so about it.
