 Blessing if you're in Christ Jesus you're born again blessing belongs to you. Yes, it does It's the blessing that comes on you when you get born again was Jesus poor Did he have anything to say about finances was his disciples poor? Because folks if we're trying to be like Jesus and if Jesus was poor When we study this today, and we discover and we discover that Jesus was indeed poor Then that folks I tell you we got a job to do today I tell you every lady's got to sell her blouse every man's got to get rid of the suits and cars And we need to barbecue for Memorial Day under a bridge somewhere as we give our house away because we need to be poor like Jesus Come on and give God praise our God's a good God He heals hearts Gives new beginnings He furnishes your house. I see that God came to you know Jesus died that we might live an abundant life and to be a Blessing to others. I can't be a big blessing to people if I'm poor and broken depressed, and I don't feel good about myself Money coming to me what you talking about Last name dollar better have some cheese in the United States criminal code title 18 They have in place under fictitious names frauds and swindles don't ask me how I know this But they have a an adjustment an enhancement that if you are convicted of Taking money or defrauding people they have an enhancement This enhancement is called abuse of trust It kind of is duplicitous It's kind of the same as what they're already putting on you, but the reason for it is Not just taking something that doesn't belong to you or without the person's knowledge This abuse of trust enhancement is used if you gain the trust of people Who unwittingly give you something of value like in this case? They're money You knowingly defraud them Using your platform your place your position to defraud them Well, you have that in a lot of churches a day because the question is why do people? Why do we tolerate some of these people? Why do we top tolerate the Benny hands the crap little dollars and so forth? Why do we tolerate the Ken Copeland? I mean these people have a large following and I think a lot of people Go into I would imagine that a lot of people see these people who As they may see them as con artists They may see them as as hucksters and jive artists and so forth But go into to what they're offering hoping Right. They they look forward Maybe they may I've seen people that have looked to these people thinking that you know These are crooks paid attention to them and they say, you know, they bought into them hook line and sinker Well, why is that? Well, the Bible talks about them one in 2nd Timothy 3 He says we understand this that in the last days there will come times of difficulty and see if some of these folks are in this People will be lovers of themselves Well, I think that describes a lot of these preachers, but also also a lot of the people in the audience They will be lovers of money Well, you have to be a lover of money to go after what Kenneth Copeland and Creflo doll in these guys with a shovel You have to be a lover of money proud arrogant abusive disobedient parents ungrateful unholy heartless Unappeasable slanderous without self-control brutal not loving good treacherous reckless Swollen with conceit lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God You can't love God and do what they do, right that he says Having the appearance of God on this but denying its power He does avoid such people for among them are those who creep into households to capture weak women burden with sins and let us stray by various passions, so that describes one the people that are being deceived as well as the people that are doing the deceiving and Any good con there has to be two elements There's got to be two elements in order for you to con someone if you're if you're a snake oil salesman Whatever you are there's two things that have that have to be there at least these two things one There's got to be someone there in need or In greed Oftentimes the line is between needing greed or blurred But there's got to be someone there who wants something who can't get what they're looking for at least Thus far they haven't gotten it on their own so that that has to be there in other words There has to be a demand are you with me? Just regular business one-on-one. Well, if there's a demand Then naturally if there's a supply well in this case someone to pray on the need or the greed of these people within now you've got an explosive combination when you go back and look at a person like a Y'all remember the guy Bernie Madoff who defrauded millions of well default defrauded billions One of the things that was noticed amongst the investigators. It's this happens all the time Even amongst folks that were defrauded is their their complicit greed in other words a lot of people have to play into this buy into this Because they want more than what they're getting what they're getting now. It's not enough They want more the problem is when you're a Christian and you want more you want gotta have more more more more more, right? And so the first thing that some of these Christian con artists have to do in order for them to scam Christians They have to supply the dream, right? Right y'all sit up there looking to be like Well child, you know, I don't know that sound. I don't know I don't know if I can imagine that well shut up Because you'll never get what you can't imagine You can't see yourself ever harvesting that kind of money just be quiet and get out of the way before you can ever get it You're gonna have to see yourself getting it. You have to see yourself harvesting. You have to see yourself with it And I can't help it. I see myself with it. I see myself being run over by the head Press down shaking together running over. I can't help it. It's going in. I'm blessed going out I'm blessed in the city and blessed in the field. I'm blessed in the summer and blessed in the winter I'm blessed with snow on the ground and when it ain't on the ground Hallelujah, glory to God money coming to me. What you talking about? Last name dollar I better have some cheese Yeah, buddy. Hey sell that thing Cref low dollar bill You've got to be able to sell the dream You've got to be able to cash the vision and they will use scriptures in all sorts of ways What do they say? One of the one scripts that you might hear often is the people perish for lack of vision you folks don't have a vision That's why you're poor. You got to have a vision. God wants you to be rich. God wants you to be successful They'll they'll abuse third John which says that beloved I wish above all things that you be in health and Prosper even as your soul prospers. So we want you to prosper Well, what other way to prosper if your soul is being prospered But also your your your material life because I want you to live a life of abundance. They they quote that a lot They well, they don't quote it. They actually miss quoted They twisted a lot and so they have to sell the dream to you now if I'm going to sell the dream of opulence and wealth and money to somebody The only way to do it is I've got to also show them that I that I've got the same wealth drug dealers who Look for or recruit other young drug dealers to kind of come in with them You got to show them what you got right? You got to show them the money the women the houses all of that You got to be able to show the same thing same thing with these people So you got to be able to show the people that you have what they're looking for my chandeliers cost more than most people's house I got 22 chandeliers in the house that the holy ghost train you to ask for the right thing Lord, I want a two story house. What is that? My house almost 25,000s graphy. You can get lost in it. I had to get some speakers in there so I can find my wife Yeah, I live in it. I drive it. I drive it. I live in it. I drove a Maybach last night Phantom this month this morning and I'm in a ghost tonight In case you don't know what a fat in the ghost is that's rose Royce's But it give him glory. Yeah, my boy to tell you I don't never hide nothing from the body Christ And I'm not scared of nobody God did it. You better not mess with me. I'll tell you so you know it can happen So I've got to show you that Maybach Rolls Royce I got these $20,000 these expensive chandeliers this big house. I'm living in what God Wants me the way he wants me to leave now I'm gonna show you because many of you are gonna watch this and think that well This doesn't apply to me. This does not apply to me I'm not one of those guys that are gonna listen to one of these charlatans like a Creflo dollar Like a Leroy Thompson. I'm not no this is a plenty. I'm gonna show you how this applies to you and then Because it does it absolutely does. Do you think now just just stop for a second thing Do you think if you would ask these folks that have gotten a lot aligned and hooked up with these people if you Would ask them let's say several years before they did if they would have ever dreamt of being Aligned or in cahoots with some of these people they probably said no. No, I don't know People hear about these scams these multi-level marketing things little Ponzi schemes even the little church schemes that they have people have heard about them and Steel walk right into them. It'll be different this time We'll talk about that in in a little bit But now so if I if I paint the dream and I show you that I've achieved it the next thing that has to be Presented is that I'm the expert. I Have to be able to convince you that I know what I'm talking about Where you're trying to go? I've been there. So listen to me, right? Well in this case They need to know that I'm wealthy. So what I'm shoveling to you what I'm offering you it's work for me How do I know? Well, look at my clothes look at my cars Look at my bank account on television. He said I heard you as a millionaire. I said that's not right That's not true. He said yes. I said no, it's not Multi-now add that to it. You'll be all right. You are not listening to somebody. That's broke Yes, so they need to know that they are wealthy that they are rich and now They don't want to tell you exactly how cannot give the keys to the kingdom way Can I give you the secrets away? So I need you all you need to know is that I'm wealthy I can help you to get wealthy. Well, okay. I'm all ears because I'm tired of being broke. I'm tired of struggling I'm tired of having issues so Since I'm all ears hmm Tell me and guess what they're gonna do they're gonna tell you and they will obviously because it's church You have to throw some scriptures in there. You got to twist some things up We're gonna look at one of the scripts that pull up, but They're good. They are good. They are good at what they're doing And so they want you to can now by the way in order for you to get blessed You're gonna have to continue to bless them. Well, how do we do so well by sowing a seed? You're not giving you're not giving the blessing anything to multiply You're just gonna take the involvement of money So it can be multiplied. I have sown financial seed And I'm expecting them to produce after their own kind in the form of financial blessings I have a feeling that somebody They won't say credit card debt wiped out that if you'll use your faith as you sow as you sow the thousand on a credit card as you use your faith God's gonna wipe out your credit card and debt and people people buy it of that I Old money on this credit card. Let me just take what I owe. I'm tired of this I'm tired of this debt. Let me go further in debt and Offer some more just as a as me sowing a seed now It is true. It is true to some degree that whatever you sow, you're gonna reap that Let's let's pull up that passage and see if we can get a good understanding of what this past is talking about And let's see if what they're saying if it's true if it's sort of true if it's completely true, but with a danger In Galatians chapter 6 verse 7 says do not be deceived God is not mocked for whatever one sows That will he also reap For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption But the one who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap ever lasting life or eternal life now It is absolutely true without question that whatever you plant That's what you're gonna. That's what you're gonna harvest Okay, now I will talk about this whole issue of sowing and reaping Um and in just a few days to come but that part is true And so if you want to keep going after money If you want to keep sowing financial seeds so to speak their their terminology if you want to keep sowing financial seeds More than likely you're going to see some sort of a gain In some ways now as rich as you as you want to be Or as rich as they're selling it Probably not probably not But what happens is you develop an attitude You develop an attitude to be focused on money getting this money getting this money And so what you end up becoming is a hustler You're not being wise you're not working for you when you're just hustling and hustlers hustlers end up In trouble. I'll just leave it at that But there's a point to be made here And I think we would be remiss in not pointing it out. He says for The one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption So sowing this financial seed if that's your goal Even if you get what you're looking for financially What are you going to reap because? Financially that that goes with sowing to the flesh Your goal is to get something material. Well, guess what? If if what you are more afraid of is being poor than hell Well, you'll probably get both You'll certainly get the latter If you're more concerned with being with getting money than getting god Though you might get the money you might not always But you won't get god and that becomes a problem because look what it says It says but if you but the one who sows to the spirit if what you're after is Getting closer to god Then what you what are you going to reap? What will be the harvest eternal life? That's the goal That's not what they're selling though. No, listen if you want to buy some eternal life We don't sell it at this church. Nope. That's not what we're shoveling here Go down to this to the church down. Go. You know what go to a little small Rinky dink broke down church across the street with four or five. They might be faithful members. Go to that church They're they're they're shoving that jesus stuff over there over here. We're talking about jesus. I'm driving a maybach or flying a jet Yeah, that's the kind of that's what we're serving over here That's what we're offering over here at our opulent church with all the big screens There's nothing wrong with having big screens in the service, but that's what we're about. We're about money Right. That's what we're about over here. This is a wall street type church Okay, you want a main street church go down a main street go down with these poor beggars Okay, none of that here. We want we want dollars matter of fact. We don't even want dollars anymore No, we don't even we don't want coins. We don't even make coins anymore. We don't want coins anymore and If you're gonna give something that folds make sure there's at least three digits to it a hundred dollar bill something like that Maybe two fifties. We'll take that or five twenties No ones please and no old dollars, please no old dollars. Give us give us new dollars But what we'd rather have is that card Give us the card not a check because we're not sure if that because you might be writing one of those faith checks No, give us something that we know The money is secure and so if it comes down to giving us a check Or giving a uh, uh, some dollars. We'll take the dollars because at least we know the dollars will spend Yeah, that's what we're about over here We're about prospering. We're about prosperity and god wants you to be rich so How do you do it? The key to being rich according to them. So a c Gift now there's various types of ways of giving we can guilt you into giving by saying giving your tithes also offering We don't really care what you call it. Huh creflo. We don't care if you call it tithes or if you call it offering just give And what are we gonna say? You can't be god. Give it give to him and he'll give back to you, right? And matter of fact not just give to him get make god owe you God is my business partner And my giving to him is his cut And if I rip off his cut, why should he bless me? I start giving on that level so that god would owe me Oh, y'all don't hear what i'm saying. You can't handle that I started giving on the level where I put god in debt and god said i'll hold no man I start giving on the money that I wanted to make I start giving on a deal that hadn't closed yet And that god had to open up the windows of heaven and pull me out of blessing because he wasn't gonna be in debt to me Wow, so you can give god make god owe you Hmm I would love to be there Would love no I wouldn't no I wouldn't because I wouldn't want that even you know Even done with that. Um, but this makes you wonder what's gonna happen when he goes before the lord Thomas dexter make that fit Square that circle before the lord God I could just see god now that I can see him. I'm just using my my imagination Holding his arm So thomas dexter as he would say to him You were telling people that I owe you Hmm. Let's let's see how that works. I tell you what I do owe you. I tell you what I do owe you I owe you a vacation. Where's warm? That's what I owe you Depart into everlasting torment. I never knew you you used and abused me I hope you enjoy the life that you lived on this earth I hope it was worth it because what you're gonna get is not gonna be To try to find some sort of scheme to Trick people into giving Because you can't beat god given and you give to him. He'll give back to you They'll say it's so it's so in granted It is where the the one scripture where he where where guy says try me and see try and see Won't I oh well first of all he wasn't talking to us That's number one who wasn't talking to us So you can try Something that was meant for israel if you want to try out all you want to let's see how that works As a matter of fact walk around the bank seven times and shout see if the vault doors fall open for you See how that works by the way if it does, uh, you better not touch the money If you do you are going to jail my friend But jail is not an issue for them that they don't they don't believe that they are uh That they are in danger of anything because after a while when you get when you get so comfortable in deception Deceiving when you get caught in a sin The longer you do it The more it becomes natural It must be right. God must be for this. I have seen people Who have been in adultery who have rational rationalized themselves in the thinking that it's okay God is for me and he wants me to be happy. I've seen that I've seen with a you pick the sin You name it. I've seen it you've got christians wondering if it's okay if it's okay to smoke weed Well, it was illegal now now it's legal and and it's an herb it comes from the earth Well, first of all everything on the planet comes from the earth I don't care what it is every chemical manufactured comes the the ingredients that not come from out of space So however you want to rationalize sin Go ahead. What ends up happening is you get in this it's like it's like walking down walking fast down a hill When you're walking fast down a hill It's hard to stop, isn't it? It's it's real hard to stop walking down. Matter of fact, what happens is this you pick up speed You pick up steam and next, you know, you're galloping down the hill You can't stop as if you stopped you're gonna fall. So now you pick up speed now you're running Now you out of control the next thing left to do is to fall to crash and burn And so you can see these guys get get going going going going going going it's like Nothing's happened thus far so far so good. So I'm probably all right. Matter of fact God is probably behind me. There are people who have convinced themselves that god is in their sin Or they've convinced themselves that their sin is no longer sin anymore That happens again. I'm gonna show you And talk to you and tell you why this is important for you You Very important now If I am going to sell you on this junk And this junk if I'm going to sell you on this well I've got to kind of I've got to make you feel good about it, right before I go there We've covered this passage before and I think I think it's germane. I think it's necessary to go over again Look at it says it says Paul says of timothy in second timothy. I charge you there from the presence of god And of christ jesus who is to judge the living and the dead and by his appearing and his kingdom preach the word Be ready in season and out of season reprove rebuke and exhort with complete patience And teaching for the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching or sound doctrine But having itching ears. Uh-oh Having itching ears. They will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions You got folks that are going to want to have their ears tickled Tell me something to make me feel good. I'm looking for it. I'm looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do I will paint a rainbow and tell you what's at the end of it. Just come and give me some money Really? Seriously, I believe you why I don't know you but just because I wanted to be true Having itching ears. They'll find someone to tickle their ears even more to soothe them with these sweet soft flowering words Music to my ears give me what I want to hear make me feel good Even if even if I'll die from it later make me feel good. Make me feel good with all these lies This is why it's important for you and I want you all to hear this Because it's not just money that people are trapped into No folks get caught up in other things. Remember I said in order for the scheme to work There's got to be someone who has a uh, demand and so you you give the supply Even if the supply isn't that great ladies Looking for a husband. Hmm. Go and find any of me. I'm looking for him in any old shape form or fashion Uh, and so now you're on you're on these little sites and hmm Hmm. Hmm. Uh, this is a nice person or your girlfriend who's never had a steady date Who's never had a man her entire life. She's hooking you up fellas You don't know what a good woman looks like you think that she has to look a certain way Act a certain way has no brains whatsoever You saw her online and she looked like somebody that you saw on tv She must be nice. She let me call her up She couldn't she couldn't spell number one But you're gonna take her out Next thing you know, um, you got four kids by six women How does that work four kids by six women? Because you have because you were looking for something also. It's not just ladies, but it's also men Uh, you want some sort of you know what? I'm feeling down and depressed in my spirit I feel incomplete and so someone is shoveling the opportunity for me to go grow closer to god Which is a good thing Which is a good thing But to go up in the spirit To be something extra spirit Extra spiritual super spiritual not supernatural no super spiritual And so all you got to do is this and that and let me touch you Let me let let me birth something out of my belly and first of all I don't want anything that somebody on stage is birthing out of their belly to give it Don't give that to me. No because the word is not enough the word doesn't do me any good Read my bible. That's just born matter of fact. I tell you when I read the bible I'll read the bible when I'm tired and I can't really fall asleep. So I'll open it up And then I'll just yeah, that's what that's that's how good the bible is for me That's what I use it for but I need I need a new word. I need a fresh word I need a rama word, which by the way, we have abused this word somebody sent me an email To remind me to do a video over what the word the rama word and the logos is We have abused that and have no clue what is being used for what it means, but I'll need a rama word. I need a fresh word from god fresh wind fresh fire fire fire fire You don't want fire. By the way, you do not want the fire of god. That's judgment okay now But you want something and if anything even if it ain't money if somebody can give it to you I just want to feel good. I just want to feel special And if the word isn't doing it for you if getting closer to him It doing it for you then I question your salvation If he's not enough then you may not have him Because I can promise you if you got him, you'll know he's more enough. He'll keep you busy He'll keep you moving. He'll keep you occupied and entertained more than one of these cats on tv can do And so that's the danger. That's why it's important Learn from their mistakes. Yeah, their issue is money, but yours it might be food might be drugs might be whatever else Trying to fill a need by any means instead of just looking at the scriptures and get it that way Let the spirit guide you and I'm not talking about some supernatural way that we don't see in the bible But you can't put god in the box. Can you who you can't say how god's going to use somebody? Yeah, you can't you can say exactly how god is going to do because he's told us in his word but If I'm going to sell this to you or anything, you know what you need Do you And again, it's not just places that are selling financial freedom But it's those that are also selling the supernatural There has to be Something to kind of encourage you a pep rally tonight is my night I'm moving out a load of bar and I'm coming to the kings table. I'm coming out This is my night. This is my year. This is my season. This is it Now we crossed the line tonight. This is it They are on fire. They are excited. They are they listen if you can just harness that energy you can light up a small block Some major cities block right all that energy To get something that maybe god didn't want them to have Jesus literally says the poor you shall have with you always The poor you shall have with you always and so what is he doing? He's tapping into their grief. Let me read the passage for you guys Uh-oh, there it is Timothy Paul says in Timothy says but those who desire to be rich Fall into into temptation into a snare into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction And then look at the last page the last verse After that he says for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many faith pangs Now this is the same someone lost their salvation. Somebody's saying um, but Those who desire to be rich. I want money lots and lots of money. I want to be rich. I'm singing the lyrics of a song That's what they want you desire to be rich. Listen, there's nothing wrong with having a desire to be well off and so forth and financially stable but at all costs Over overlapping or jumping over the main thing Yeah, because look what he says he says They fall into a snare into many senseless harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction I told you the story about how I sold a seed A seed that I didn't have because I wanted I wanted this money I sold this seed And it was light bill seed. It was it was it was txu It was their seed it was their money And they were they was not happy with me sowing their money as a seed And they turned off my lights and just said well, we'll see how that works for you Let us let us know how that faith thing works for you Corey But in the time being we're taking our energy from you. Yeah, get you some candles That that was their whole focus and you know what after that? All right, let me back up. Let me back up Let me be sensible And that was really the last time that I sold a seed that I didn't have so But these folks have this love of money that's this desire The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil A lot of things come from that A lot people transforming their bodies transforming their minds Becoming doing things they don't want to do or they never would have thought they would have done And I told you that prison is littered with people who if you asked them The thing that brought you to prison the thing that brought you down Was there every time that you would have thought that you never would have done They always said you listen There was a time that I never would have thought that I would have done the thing that I did to brought to bring me here But what brought you here? A desire for something unnatural a desire for for money for fame which comes which That's connected with money power connected with money. Maybe some woman or some man that like me connected with money and so The bible is true Maybe we ought to start reading the bible and seeing what it says But at the heart of all of this you've got to back this stuff up back this foolishness up with some scriptures, right? And so of course Dr. Creflo dollar who again, so I said the guy the guy has not repented Because if he were to repent he would repent not over just of his Distortion of ties But he would repent over this other stuff. He hadn't he hadn't said that he was sorry for this stuff He hadn't said that he was wrong about this stuff. Okay Again, it was just ties and so I need to move away from that I need to get you to focus on just giving guilt skipping. That's what I want you to do And so I've got but I want you all to know that I am about you ought to be about gaining Money to enriching yourselves And so I need to give you some scriptures for that Isaiah 60 Rise and shine for thy light has come the glory of the lord has risen upon thee For behold the darkness shall cover the earth Broke darkness the people but the lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee And the Gentiles shall come to thy light and the kings of the brightness of thy rising Lift up thine eyes round about and see all they gather themselves together They come to thee thy son shall come from far that daughter shall be nursed at thy side Then thou shall see and flow together and thy heart shall fear and be enlarged because the abundance of the sea Shall be converted on to thee the forces or the what? wealth of the Gentiles Shall what come on to thee Somebody shall So he's reading from Isaiah 60 now the thing about isaas 60 was before isaas 60 is Isiah 59 And he's talking about the whole point of what isaas talking about Is when or if they come back then these are the things that would happen for them The god would bless them as a result of coming back and he's clearly speaking to Israel okay, and then he says that There will be some wealth that will come upon them But creflo again he Anywhere that he would do a word search and find money or wealth or prosperity Anything that sounds remotely like money in the bible. He's going to glom on to it and twist it for his own personal use for his own game Money cometh unto me Thine eyes round about and see all they gather themselves together They come to thee thy son shall come from far that daughter shall be nursed at thy side Then thou shall see and flow together And thy heart shall fear and be enlarged because the abundance of the sea shall be converted onto thee The forces or the what wealth of the Gentiles shall what come on to thee Somebody shout money cometh unto me This is your week And so they are excited. How do you get them excited because you've already gen them up you've been preaching They didn't just get this preach of them just that day. That was that their first time hearing this Okay, and so it gets drummed into you over and over again And you see other people pulling up in nice cars and you're wondering man I wish I could have a nice car my car And I mean always run right matter of fact I had to get a ride to church today. And so These things start playing on you Playing on you emotionally and there's someone telling you who's supposed to be the pastor He's supposed to know well no better. He's telling you that Hmm, you can have these nice things. It's not that difficult. It may not be it may not take it may not come so How to put it it may not come as quickly as you'd like it to come But it will come I'm sorry. I'm sitting looking at something else, but it will come Take a little time Take a little effort But it will come and so here's a passage that I that I think you ought to look at This is in again 2nd Peter chapter 2 verse 3 He says and in their greed in their greed They will exploit you with false words their condemnation From long ago is not idle and their destruction is not asleep The reason why we have these false prophets these false teachers these these sharks these snakes They pop up out of greed They want something from you They want to they want to get what you got matter of fact. Let me I'm trying to figure out I had something queued up. I don't know why it's not even popping up Uh in my I guess in my haste would have you it didn't it didn't show up But there was something that I wanted to play that I probably won't be able to play it But something from our good friend Our good friend um smiling joe one of the things that he talks about is how It's not going to come um Easily or quickly But if you look at his church, he's always one to let you know that god is after the great things in your life He wants you to be I want you to be prosperous. He wants you to succeed He wants you to have everything that you haven't had god wants you to be rich God wants you to be happy god wants you to have as he says in his book God wants you to have your best life now Well, if this is your best life now, then your next life is not going to be very good I can promise you that and so Again, we're talking about money. But the fact of the matter is They are going to any kind of shawlton any kind of wolf. They are going to play on your Emotional needs. They're going to pump you up. They're going to pump themselves up They're going to show you how great that they are how things have worked out for them And how you can have what they have how you can be what they have become Uh in the end though gets what you got to do You got to give up some money You've got to make sure that the money that that that that you have to offer to the lord You need to make sure Um, excuse me make sure that you send that money in Make sure that one again the check clears If you're not paying into this ministry Well, then I don't think that this ministry is a right ministry for you Oftentimes you'll see even in a lot of these these deliverance ministries these people that I Have in the holy spirit magically imparted on them There's going to be some giving also associated with that It's matter of fact, it's it's really rare that you will even see ministries like that so-called ministries. I'm being nice That you'll see these these organizations where they're doing these things while where they are Not blasphemy the holy spirit that's what they're doing, but they are being blasphemed us and then asking for money in return All right, this has been a blessing for you. So a seed This is this is a good ground. And so we want to take this ministry across the world across the globe to other people And so at the heart of it as he says It's their greed Even if it's not necessarily their greed for money, but their greed for fame and power. Well, what accompanies that? money As we say follow the money So make sure that the same things that entrap these people because again Oftentimes when you're down when you find yourself frustrated you can find yourself looking somewhere anywhere just like Just like These other people are doing the same thing and so Be prayerful always test the scriptures make sure that what you're seeing is actually biblical and When someone is telling you when someone is promising you something that god didn't promise you god never promised us to all be rich He did not he said the poor you will have with you always Was jesus did jesus drive around? Um Did jesus drive around In the wealthiest state no he did not as a matter of fact he told his people that Birds have nest and fox have holes, but the son of man has no place to rest his head And what are they this and we're gonna follow you anyway? Where else we go? Where else are we gonna go now they can go and be like the Pharisees and scribes and and live opulent lives If they want to of course, it's kind of hard to get in that club But that's not what they're gonna do This young rich fella comes to jesus and says what must i do to be saved? What's what's next? He says well, sell your stuff sell your stuff Now selling yourself. He's not saying be poor. That was never his point But his point was if your whole focus if your goal was to be full was to be focused on money Well, then that's going to be that that's the problem If you're if your goal if your focus is money Well, then you won't get it or you may get it, but you'll find yourself inhale And so was jesus trying to be rich? No, he was not. Could he have been sure he was he owns the he owns everything He owns everything was was his disciples rich? No, they were not they lived harsh hard lives And so even if you don't have a lot of money Even if you don't have the things that you want doesn't matter Your reward will come in. What does he say? um Be not weary and well doing but in due season you shall in due season you shall reap a reward Amen
