Good morning, Deep Waters Community Church. How are we? All right, let's pray. Lord, we just give you glory and honor and praise for today. We thank you for the Thanksgiving holiday, Lord. We thank you that we did not kill our children. That's a real prayer, Father and Lord, that we kind of still like them. So, Lord, we lift you up.

00:01:36:11 - 00:01:58:06

Unknown

We thank you for family, because family will grow you in ways you have never imagined. And we thank you, Father, that we're coming in to a landing in 2022, and we look forward to 2023 in Jesus name a min. Amen. Amen. Amen. Like I said, yeah, we didn't kill our kids. We kind of still like him. So bless you guys.

00:01:58:21 - 00:02:17:18

Unknown

Glad to have you here, Brandy. Exactly right. We 72 hours just packed. We drove 8 hours on Wednesday, jumped out the car and I was like, I want to take you to dinner. Like, we have no kids, nothing to do. You don't have anything to do. We went to dinner and she was exactly right. We're sitting there. I'm thinking it's like 930, 10:00.

00:02:17:18 - 00:02:45:01

Unknown

We're about to wrap it up. It was 645. So when I hung out with her dad and her step mom there and spent some time there, I came back, crash Wednesday, got up, went back to her dad's house, spent some time there after there, went to her aunt's house with the rest of her family, hung out there, went back, crashed Friday, got off on Friday, did a few other what do we do on Friday?

00:02:45:01 - 00:03:09:10

Unknown

Oh, we went to visit the brother and visit some. Our family came back Friday, Christ got in the car Saturday, drove back. Yes. And so and the humidity difference was like 50 degrees. That 50% was different. It was 45 here and it was 95 there. So I've got this sinus thing cause my body does not adjust to the altitude and the humidity.

00:03:09:14 - 00:03:29:13

Unknown

And it was weird. Everybody up there was cold. The weather was like this. So we were we didn't have a jacket on. It was a little slight chill. They were cold and everybody's house was like set at 80 degrees, you know? So I was in there burning up like a few times. I would go outside the cooler. I'm on the cannot open this door right behind me.

00:03:29:13 - 00:03:44:08

Unknown

Please, can we open a window right here? If it's not bothering anyone? It was insane. So I've got this little thing going on, but we're going to make it through. All right. So exciting. Thing is, I got the website done, finally got. So if you take now this the only time I'm going to let you take out your phones during service.

00:03:44:17 - 00:04:01:23

Unknown

If you go into detail to see, see everybody pull out your phone. Going to deep waters dot, S.C. And why are you doing it? Turn your ringers off? Because I want to make sure it's all coming up on everybody's cell phone. So go to do you want to start see, seeing if you're watching us online, but if you're watching us on your cell phone, you got to wait.

00:04:01:23 - 00:04:18:15

Unknown

But if your cell phone is available, everybody go to deep waters DC. Just let me know how beautiful it needs. Just hold the phone up. Let me know. The new site came up. Great. It's. They're pretty cool. All right, so we got that. So that was like, step one. Get it up, get it running. This week we're going to get the ad conversion set up.

00:04:18:15 - 00:04:33:21

Unknown

And then I got a few other tweaks to do to the website. We're going to have a spot for porn. The ability to put the prophecies they do during the week, they'll be able to put that up on the website. This is Mark, our Brandi's block, which is going to have a whole bunch of stuff from Brandi, whatever she wants to put on there.

00:04:34:01 - 00:04:56:11

Unknown

And so it'll all be up and running. So exciting. Now, part of Paul. Put the phone away. Put the phone away. I know, but I know he wants to go live. I know everybody wants to go to the phone at the photo booth to look at the look at the pictures. And it was fun working on it because as I worked on the website, I said, Wow, we were really building a nice church and we're still building a nice church and so we're really blessed.

00:04:56:11 - 00:05:16:17

Unknown

So website is done. Amen. Okay, let's jump into the work. No more pictures. I can look at the pictures and service and leap. Exactly. So let's jump right into the word. Let's go to Matthew 7/1. All right. So Matthew seven, starting at verse seven, we're going to go 7 to 12. We reach this asking that will be given to you seeking you will find knock in the door will be open to you.

00:05:16:17 - 00:05:39:07

Unknown

Remember, we're talking about responsive for everyone who ask receives everyone who seeks finds and to the one who knocks the door will be open. So what you're asking for, seeking for knocking for you're going to get which of you if your son asks for bread, we'll give him a stone. Or if he asks for a fish, will you give him a sneak?

00:05:39:07 - 00:06:01:23

Unknown

If you then though you are evil and know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in Heaven give gifts to those who ask him? So in everything, say everything right in the Hebrew word for everything means. There you go. Perfect. So in everything, dude. Oh, my ear just opened up. Praise God.

00:06:01:28 - 00:06:28:20

Unknown

So, so in everything due to others. What you have them do to you for this thumbs up the law of the prophets. So everything in the law is wrapped up into do in everything you do, do to others what you would have them do to you. The way you want others to respond to you is the way you respond to them.

00:06:28:27 - 00:06:48:03

Unknown

It's it's what you do to them in all the law and the prophets is summed up in this. Now let's go to Luke six. Sign in verse 37. We're going to get these two. When they do, we're going to talk about some things. Do not judge a case that we just talked about. If you ask and if you seek and then you're not, you're going to get it.

00:06:48:06 - 00:07:14:28

Unknown

You're going to get what you asked for, what you're seeking for, and what you're not going for. Okay. So now we move to another one. Do not just a you and not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned, forgive and you will be forgiving, give and it will be given to you a good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap for with the same measure you use, it will be measure it to you.

00:07:14:28 - 00:07:39:00

Unknown

Now leave 638 up there for me. Okay. Now, the Kingdom of God is responsive. That means how we respond to it. It responds to us now. It's never really end the measure of what we put in. Right. There's there's always a difference. What God requires is usually a very small amount of what we're going to receive. Like Jesus.

00:07:39:00 - 00:08:04:19

Unknown

When he talked about the parable of the the mustard seed, he said it's a small seed, but it produces the largest of trees. Okay. Or we talked about the yeast in the in the dough. Small amount of yeast works through the whole the whole dough. And so it's always just a very small amount. But there's a word that really distinguishes the the response of the kingdom.

00:08:04:19 - 00:08:33:17

Unknown

It's all based upon your value. It's all based upon a value system. For instance, one three ounce of gold right now it's worth well, as of last night, I don't know what it is right now, but as of last night, at the time of this writing was $1,754.58. Now a troy ounce is 1.65 inches in length and 9.95 inches in width.

00:08:34:05 - 00:09:19:05

Unknown

So something this small in this small is worth 1700 dollars. Okay. If you take a kilogram a kilo of gold bar, which is about 32.15 troy ounces, 2.25 excuse me, £2.2. £2 of gold today is worth $56,000. So that a good a picture is about £2 is about the size of my cell phone. So if you had gold the size of my cell phone, we can go buy the 2023 Lincoln Aviator with it.

00:09:19:05 - 00:09:51:09

Unknown

Go this size. Lord, you see this, right? Go this size. That's all I need is go this size is worth a Lincoln eight now it's not gold the size of a Lincoln. It's go this small produces a Lincoln hundred pounds heavier, way bigger, much more broader, you would think, okay, if I want a car, don't I need gold the size of a car?

00:09:51:15 - 00:10:21:00

Unknown

No, because even though it's small, it's the value of what it is that produces a large result. So the kingdom is always going to be responsive to the value that you place on it. No matter. It doesn't matter the size. It's all about the value. Now let's talk about giving because the last one, because we talked about judging, we talked about forgiving, we talk about condemning.

00:10:21:05 - 00:10:50:14

Unknown

So let's hit this last one on giving now to give me chance to offer or to please. But some of the other words I'm giving is is to add. So if you add also another word for giving is to allow allow. Another word is cars commanded dealing or to draw. So those are all different words of giving. Now, it's always going to give for the measure you use.

00:10:50:14 - 00:11:16:02

Unknown

It will be measured back to you. Now, the measure you use is going to be based upon the value that it has. All right. Now watch this. So who determines its value? Who determines how how valuable it is or to the measure that it is within the kingdom of God? The kingdom's value system is always based upon the word.

00:11:16:26 - 00:11:37:05

Unknown

It was always based upon words we tend to have an issue with, but this word we tend to really have an issue with because the kingdom is always going to to want us to do this thing. It's always going to ask us a put a demand on us. And that word is the kingdom is always based upon sacrifice.

00:11:38:24 - 00:12:12:29

Unknown

Its all its whole system is set up on sacrifice. So if you're looking at the Kingdom of God's value system, God is always going to place a demand on us that usually more than we want to bear. Even though he know we can bear it, he's going to ask us or ask of us something that is usually always going to to to put a pressure to sacrifice.

00:12:13:20 - 00:12:37:03

Unknown

We have to give up what our own way. We have to give up our lives. What was the biggest sacrifice? Christ on the cross. The biggest, biggest one was was Christ let this mind being you. Who was that which was also in Christ Jesus who being in the form of God did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself a servant.

00:12:37:15 - 00:13:10:15

Unknown

And so and in doing so that he submitted himself to death, even death on the cross, the sack, rough face, because he made such a sacrifice. His name is lifted above everything because of his sacrifice. And so God is always gone. His value is going to be placed upon what are you willing to sacrifice? And sometimes one of the biggest things that led to the cross was Jesus held his tongue.

00:13:11:19 - 00:13:39:19

Unknown

He did not open his mouth. He could have had a legion of angels come there, Paul. He could have said, Talk to his father. You're I'm innocent. They're guilty. Put the guilt on them. Let them receive the guilt of what they did. He I'll I'll be the what sacrifice this I'll take it. I'll be the one. I will deal with it.

00:13:39:27 - 00:14:03:11

Unknown

It will be on me. I will make the sacrifice. And to the measure of sacrifice is what he's looking at. So when we give, it's always going to be to the measure of the sack. Now, sometimes the sacrifices automatically mean that you are given his right, and so you give to the world, this community, the church. It's just a no brainer.

00:14:03:11 - 00:14:34:21

Unknown

It's a sacrifice. If there's financial giving, it's a sacrifice. But then sometimes God to test you or ask you to give more, more than you would normally give. And it's not about the gift. It's about the reward that God has for you in the giving. Now, during the big prosperity thing, you know, a lot of pastors really taught that from more of an instructional standpoint, right?

00:14:35:05 - 00:15:17:29

Unknown

And yes, there were people that was making money and all this other stuff, right. But even in that God's mercy is so good that even if you responded to a giving and the person was manipulative in their request, you know, God still honors the blessing in the Word. Anyway, he he he will still honor what what the person, the man, the God, the prophet who was saying those words, he'll still honor it and deal with him, but he'll still honor your sacrifice sometimes.

00:15:17:29 - 00:15:41:28

Unknown

And like I said, there are that when you when you when you when you really want to stand up for yourself in the job situation, he tells you, don't say anything. Wait, that's a sacrifice. You know, like I said, we still kind of like our kids after this week. That's a sacrifice. Sometimes the Lord's going to ask you to give in, and you're you're thinking this.

00:15:41:28 - 00:16:11:18

Unknown

This thing I'm you're asking of me. It's a lot. I'm in I'm in 25 traffic. I want to run everybody over. But you're telling me, stay in my lane. Don't hit the horn to be quiet. That's what he tells Brandi about the purpose right away. But it's it's a sacrifice he's always going to the giving is always going to be about that sacrifice.

00:16:11:18 - 00:16:49:26

Unknown

That's the value system in the kingdom. So then how much are you willing to give? How much are you willing to sacrifice? Because if we put this in context of what we just said, when we judge who we really judging ourselves, so when we don't judge, it allows others in the kingdom not to judge us when we're condemning who are we really condemning ourselves when we forgive, who are we really forgiving?

00:16:51:05 - 00:17:18:22

Unknown

So then when we're giving, who we're really giving to ourselves, you know, I taught this this pardon giving. It was more focused on times and offering when we talked about giving God's way and the kingdom. There is so much time. The time is eternal in the kingdom. And so the response time in the kingdom is always almost instantaneous because there's so much of it, there's not.

00:17:19:09 - 00:17:43:09

Unknown

We treat it because there's not enough of it. And we have a time lapse. So we're thinking, okay, we need it happening now. But there's so much time in the kingdom that now and forever are in the same place, it doesn't doesn't matter. And so when you when you give, it's given. So there is no time. So when we say give and it will be what it will be isn't in the Scripture.

00:17:43:09 - 00:18:06:28

Unknown

It's it's it's don't judge. You won't be judged. It's all at the same time. Don't kill then you're not condemned forgive you're forgiven. Give it's given. So, so everything in that you receive in abundance right there. Now we just have to not now. We just have to walk it out. It's all there. Me and John talk about this.

00:18:06:28 - 00:18:24:10

Unknown

When we talk about the zero point theory, all the time of this in the in zero point energy, everything and nothing is in the same place. I know it's the weirdest thing, but you, you know, stick around with it long enough and you'll be weird. Like us, everything and nothing is in the same place. And at the same time, everything you hope to be, one to have and one to pursue is all available.

00:18:24:12 - 00:18:44:04

Unknown

You just can't see it, so it's not there. And a good example of this is when you're working on an invention. There are different companies and there's a company I'm working with now called Davidson Company, and Davidson Company has this plant up in Pennsylvania, and I sent them this idea and they said, okay, we're going to show you a video of what our plant looks like.

00:18:44:05 - 00:19:10:11

Unknown

And I'm like crazy, like, because we think your idea is a great idea. And so, you know, let's talk about it. So they sent me this this video of Davidson Company. And it's all I mean, it's all set up. It looks like, you know, Disneyland, but for inventors and so it's all these computers and these scale models and electricians and these these engineers and all of that stuff is in there.

00:19:10:11 - 00:19:45:25

Unknown

And my idea is in there. I just don't see it. But it's it's there. So everything anybody would want to invent is there. It's just taken. It's just waiting for you to step in and make it happen and it collapses and becomes something. But it's it's there. Everything is there. So if we understand that everything is there is just invisible, then when we forget forgiveness, is there there's no condemnation there.

00:19:46:15 - 00:20:12:26

Unknown

There's there's no judgment there. And everything that you give and response in the Kingdom of God, that's why I pray. At the end I say the Lord's going to return it unto you where you need it. The most, because sometimes you go, okay, Pastor Tommy, I'm sewing and I'm giving. And yes, but you need peace. You need healing, you need joy, you need a lot, you need some sometime.

00:20:12:26 - 00:20:34:15

Unknown

Most of the time. We just need a word. I need a word. I don't know my child, but there have been many times I said, look, I just need a word from you. I need to know that you that you even are watching. Do you even see what's going on here? I mean, am I the only one in this right now?

00:20:35:02 - 00:20:55:25

Unknown

Because, you know, I'm reading I'm believing, I'm hoping, I'm giving, I'm trusting, but I ain't seeing it. So I just need I just need a word. I just need something. Just just poke your finger and just just poke me for a minute. Just give me something and then I'll open up an app. I'll turn and I get a word.

00:20:57:01 - 00:21:35:07

Unknown

Thank you. All right, we can make it the next 2 hours. See some it because sometimes we just need a word. We just need something to tell us that, hey, you're there. I just. I just. I just need something to show me. When we stay in a posture of giving forgiveness, actually comes easier. Condemned condemning comes easier. Judgment goes away because we're in a posture of giving.

00:21:36:24 - 00:22:09:01

Unknown

We can't it's hard to do the other three and not do the fourth one. But if you do the fourth one, you're pretty much guarantee you'll do the other three. If if you're giving the right way, if you're if you're if we're giving and it's not sacrifice sacrificial, it's a it's just, you know, just here when we first started the church, probably six months in, I'm telling my dad, you know, we're starting the church.

00:22:09:01 - 00:22:24:22

Unknown

And he was all concerned about, so how are you going to eat? It was like how you can take this stuff. And so, you know, we have people that are coming. They're all givers. Now he's old school. So old school give us they pass the plate. You know, people throw in $2. I mean, that was it. You know, back in the day, you get change.

00:22:24:22 - 00:22:42:14

Unknown

You like I want to put it into I get fired that, you know, I don't know if y'all grew up in the church. Yeah she Rosa remember that she like I remember that. Yeah. You know you put in a 2015 15th, you know, you put in change in the thing and pass the plate around. And I said, Well, no, no, no, no, no.

00:22:42:14 - 00:23:03:09

Unknown

We got givers. You know, they believe in ties. They build an offering, they take a percentage. They trust in God. God returns then. So these folks are blessed the favor. God is on them, they're blessed. So we have givers that they're givers. They actually are give birth. You know, they're just not, you know, tippers, but they're givers. It's seen this different back in the day.

00:23:03:09 - 00:23:26:26

Unknown

They were tippers and they figured, I'm just going to toss the five bucks in there and say thank you, but we got givers and see givers walk in the favor and the blessing of God. Because when you take the sacrifice and you give it to the Lord, then he sees your what sacrifice, and from that place He pours out.

00:23:26:26 - 00:23:46:12

Unknown

Now, it's not because, you know, if you if you look at it many times, it was taught. So you going to give to give. And I remember when I was when I taught giving God's way and I was talking to my mom about that, I said, no, you give because you got you don't give to give you give because you got and because you're giving because you got.

00:23:46:18 - 00:24:21:07

Unknown

And the reason you're doing that is because that is the thing that declares that you are the blessed of the Lord. I'm the blessed of the Lord. And I'm going to show it in my giving. I'm going to express who I am from my giving. I'm going to express it. Not just finance fully, but when I close my mouth, when I don't give my opinion, when I decide to love instead of hate, when I don't give back to someone what they deserve, well, I think they deserve.

00:24:22:22 - 00:24:46:00

Unknown

This is the judgment that I declare on this situation. And law says no, because that is not for you to do. Your job is to love. So right now you're going to sacrifice and give love. You're going to sacrifice and do what I've ask you. Going to sacrifice to hold your tongue. You can sacrifice and keep your pain.

00:24:46:00 - 00:25:09:07

Unknown

You you're going to sacrifice and bless and give a word anyway. That's what you can do. Going to sacrifice and bless and give a word anyway. That's what you're going to do. You're going to sacrifice. That is the access to the favor of God. Now I'm close with this walk. Why the sacrifice? Why? Why is it all based upon sacrifice?

00:25:10:29 - 00:25:47:07

Unknown

John 316 For God so loved the world that He would gave it sets a standard for everything else. It sets the standard he loves so much that he gave. So now the standard of love is giving. The standard of love is How much are you? Are you what are you giving? And what did he give? A sacrifice. His only son.

00:25:48:20 - 00:26:13:18

Unknown

That's what he did. And he did it because he loved us, even when we didn't deserve to be loved. He said, Let me set the standard. While you are yet sinners, I'm going to send him to die for you. I'm not going to wait for you to prove yourself worthy. I'm just going to declare myself good, man, that's bad.

00:26:14:09 - 00:26:35:20

Unknown

I'm going to wait for you to say, Look, see, I'm worthy. He said, No, I'm just going to declare I'm good. And because I'm good, I'm going I'm going to make the sacrifice so that way it's not dependent upon you for our relationship. It's not dependent upon you anymore. Now it's all me. So now this is what God did.

00:26:35:20 - 00:26:52:10

Unknown

So now we got an open door policy. Come on, now. We've got an open door policy. So now you can walk in whenever you want. You can talk to me whenever you want, or you can walk out whenever you want and not talk to me whenever you want. But guess what? The door is still going to be open for you to come in when you want to.

00:26:52:25 - 00:27:19:05

Unknown

I'm not going to close it on you anymore. You don't got to jump through hoops to get to me anymore. You got to do this and that. All you got to do is turn where you're at. And if you turn wherever you're at, I will show up. Because I made the ultimate sacrifice for good. I gave I loved so much that I gave.

00:27:20:15 - 00:27:42:01

Unknown

How then can we not express the same thing? I told you I was talking to a man who was much older than me, and I turned to me and pretended This don't have judgment. So we don't. You know, the only time we kind of look at people sideways is if they choose to stay in their failure. We have a little weird.

00:27:43:24 - 00:28:19:15

Unknown

It's a little weird, you know, but but this is what we say. Just wait. They'll change if you just wait. People can change. So we just wait. But we just don't have judgment. And part of that is because we were so messed up. How are we going to judge anybody? Oh, I'm I told the guys, I'm like, listen, I am not the role model for pastors in the United States.

00:28:19:15 - 00:28:43:10

Unknown

I didn't think I was. I was like, I don't wear a suit and interested into it. My associate pastor Bruce Beer, I mean, seriously, we we are just seriously, we are just not what people would say. That's the perfect picture of a church. It's just not. I mean, we love it. Hang out. We have we have a great time.

00:28:43:14 - 00:28:44:28

Unknown

Have a great time. But listen.

00:28:47:17 - 00:29:19:08

Unknown

Yeah, he got to see. But we go deep. We got to with this but we go deep. We go deep. No, there's freedom. We're going we're going to bless, love, encourage you ain't going to get more blessings love encouragement than I did was community church not here's this is this is fun to talk about right now not encourage and bless and love to be here.

00:29:19:25 - 00:29:41:10

We want to bless, encourage a love for your life in in your personal life. What are you doing? Not what are you doing for me or the church? What are you doing for you? Where are you going? Where is your life going? What? Like pastor past the pastor. What inventions are you coming up with? Has your mind been expanded?

00:29:41:14 - 00:30:02:21

Unknown

Have you seen the favor of God in your life? What's your next step? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? What do you want to create? The sky's the limit. The impossible is happening. It's coming. It is alive and deep. Well, this community church, you can't be stagnant here because we're going to keep nudging you to grow.

00:30:02:21 - 00:30:23:13

Unknown

We don't want you to grow. We don't want to stay. We we're all about how can we grow? What way can we grow? What what's the ways to grow? But we were on vacation. I was getting out, shower, get ready to leave. And I said, Lord, it's 2020 to 2023. I really would like it to be a just just let's grow.

00:30:23:13 - 00:30:55:26

Unknown

Let's just go. I just I just need some some. And this is what he said. This is what he said. He said, Tommy, your church will grow with you. He said, it'll grow with you. He said it took you five years to figure out your message. He said the message you had three years ago is not the core message you got right now that you own that, you can sit down and walk into any room and you own this message of who you are in Christ.

00:30:56:06 - 00:31:16:29

Unknown

The see things through the eyes of Christ that you own, what sin means, that you own no judgment, that you that you own. All of these things that y'all have been talking about, you own it. You can sit down with the other pastors you see, you can have a dialog and really talk to them about the scriptures. How they need to talk about sin is failure, not sin is behavior.

00:31:18:14 - 00:31:37:18

Unknown

You just that by itself. You change the whole body, just that by you has spend your whole life teaching that premise by yourself and change the whole body of Christ. But when you add to it, you see things through the eyes of Christ. And doing that, it changes everything from the from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

00:31:38:14 - 00:32:01:11

Unknown

He said. All these things that you all want a man talking to me. He talks to me like that. You own a man that is who you are, but you had to grow into that. Your church will grow as you grow, as you become. Now, listen, he's telling me that because this is this is a product of me and Brandy.

00:32:01:19 - 00:32:23:21

Unknown

This is my thing. But listen, your life will grow as you grow. So if there's limitations and things that you feel are holding you back and oppressing your imagination, which we're going to get to eventually, but hold on, oppressing your imagination, oppressing your thoughts, suppressing your ability to think beyond you want it to retract in every way you want.

00:32:23:21 - 00:32:46:26

Unknown

In the past, are you willing to second guess? What's God? Are you willing to second guess what you're doing? God is saying, no, keep growing. You have to out grow the shackles. They will break off of your feet because what do we talk about? The anointing. The anointing became so fast. We this is this is a great time shot and the yoke would be removed.

00:32:46:26 - 00:33:13:07

Unknown

We finally got rid of that yoke. That yoke pitching went down the day Song said, this is going to be great. In the sermon nineties we finally got the yoke removed and Brandi came in. She said, Did you get really that yoke? I said, I deleted the yoke. Today the yoke has been lifted. I said, Paul asked me about it two weeks ago.

00:33:13:07 - 00:33:28:22

Unknown

We got rid of that. You know, Brandi said, What is the yoke as a baby? We've been trying to get rid of that yoke every time we came in. I said, So we need that yoke removed. So that yoke, that burden got passed. I'm trying to find the yoke, but I can't get the yoke off. I said, we got to get the yoke off with deep wallets.

00:33:28:22 - 00:34:03:16

Unknown

Needs to be yoke free. We got to remove this yoke. And then I got here early at sunset. Can you go financial? I had to do some digging. I said, There's the yoke. We're going to be free of the yoke today and this man will be free of the yoke today. That yoke is gone. The Scripture said the yoke was removed because they became so that they became so big that the yoke was broken off.

00:34:05:07 - 00:34:37:21

Unknown

The yoke will be removed when. You grow and as you grow, we're waiting for someone to come take an office nicely sweep in in the way we wanted and God's going. If you grow, it becomes something small that breaks off of you from your growth, your life. Man, this is good stuff, y'all. Your life is waiting for you to grow.

00:34:37:21 - 00:35:23:09

Unknown

You can't be the future you the way you are today. You can't the future you whatever is in your vision board, whatever's in your your your future tomorrow you can't be that person today I've got on my computer I've got a picture of it's a Aston Martin and it's a Jet Aston Martin than a jet. So my computer and you know because I'm I have a jet and so because I don't like airports and I really don't like planes and I was thinking about this Ashley last night because said, you know, you probably need to go on a private jet jet ride to even see if you like jets because you can be believing for

00:35:23:09 - 00:35:41:23

Unknown

something you hate and really don't want. And the reason why you ain't get it, because God knows you don't like those. So you could be sitting there having something in your vision thinking, I want this. And God goes, No, you don't. Because once you get it, you're going to hate it. I know the story. But but, but, but there is a picture.

00:35:42:12 - 00:36:13:05

Unknown

And every time I look at that picture, I get reminded the person you are today doesn't fit in that picture. And here's why. This is this is good. Here's why the person I am today does not fit in that picture. The person who I am right now doesn't fit in that picture. And the reason why is because if I did, I had I would have had it if if the person I am right now today would fit in that picture, I would have that.

00:36:13:05 - 00:36:53:00

Unknown

That's how you know, I'm not I'm not that yet because I'll have that when I become that. But I have not become that. That's why I don't have that. So in order to have that, I have to become that. So the reason we we may not have the things we want is because we have not become that. So so this is I'm a wrap up with this I played out wrapping up 2 minutes ago but I'm a wrap up with this and this is why imagination is so important, because your imagination puts you in that and helps to reprogram you, to get used to being in that.

00:36:53:06 - 00:37:15:29

Unknown

So then you become that even though you ain't became that yet, and it changes your heart as we learned about the heart and it communicates with every cell in your body down to the DNA, and you become that even though you ain't became that yet. But then you have to grow into that. And everything that produces that has to show up because you have imagined who you are with it.

00:37:17:24 - 00:37:49:13

Unknown

That's how you bring the future to you today. And you become your tomorrow. Right now, man, that's a good line. I got a couple of good ones that a couple of good ones in this one. Get some t shirts me listen that that's how you live from your tomorrow today. Now we we called it faith we call it more just faith, but we call it imagination.

00:37:49:13 - 00:38:20:12

Unknown

I'm imagination. I see those things that are not internal in the Bible anything in the Bible. I see those things that are not as though they really are. I see myself like that. I see myself doing this that I see it. You can't convince me in anything otherwise. From what I see. And then this is the big thing as a believer.

00:38:20:12 - 00:38:43:14

Unknown

This this is the good part. Okay, this is the good part. Okay. Because the world tries to do this. They just call it the law of attraction, the manifestation in 98.9, 9% of the people fail trying to do it. They get frustrated. Okay, but this is the difference. As a believer, because we just read the scripture that says ask and you shall have seek and you shall find knock in the door, be open to you.

00:38:43:19 - 00:39:03:17

Unknown

So then when we take the desires of our heart, because it's a Scripture that says The Lord gives us what the desires of our heart. So we we take the desires of our heart and we present it to him. And He gives us a word based upon that desire. What are we supposed to be imagining if we take the desires of our unknown mess their look?

00:39:03:17 - 00:39:22:07

Unknown

Because I ask that question and then I didn't answer it. I'm sorry if we take the desires of my heart and we give it to God and God gives us a word, He gives us a word. So we're supposed to spend time imagining that word. And oftentimes this is called God will give you what we call a word picture.

00:39:22:23 - 00:39:48:18

Unknown

He did it to Abraham. He said, Abraham, God count the stars if you can. That's what your descendants would be. So now, every time Abraham went outside at night, I'm imagining my descendants. I can't get it out of my mind. The sand on the ground I'm imagining the sand. I can't get it out of my mind now I'm supposed to calm myself from Abraham to Abraham.

00:39:49:12 - 00:40:15:14

Unknown

And I'm going to tell this woman in the tent. Your name is Sarah anymore? Sarah. I'm going to call you Sarah. Na na na. I'm speaking the promise and I'm seeing the promise. And eventually I'm of become the good ones. Today I'm. And I'm becoming the promise. Now see it now I'm saying it now I'm becoming it Now I'm doing it.

00:40:16:03 - 00:40:47:08

Unknown

All of this is in relation to him and unlocking our imagination. And I'm a summing up with this last one. In order for us to live like that, we have to give up our normal way of doing things. It all comes back to the same thing we have to give. We got to yield to his word. It all comes back to the same thing.

00:40:48:25 - 00:41:11:16

Unknown

You can't you can't do it your way and get God results. It don't the two don't match. The only way to get God results is to do what in God's Word. If we do it God's way, we get God results. If we do it our way, we get our results. But our way doesn't last with this. God's way does.

00:41:11:16 - 00:41:32:13

Unknown

Because when we enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, He's going to say, Well done, because you did it my way. There's a song, Paul Singer for It's Not For You, but there's a song he's going to say, You did it. You did it my way. Well done. You did it just like me. Well done. Good and faithful servant.

00:41:32:23 - 00:41:56:18

Unknown

You did exactly. You did exactly what I really did in that situation. You did it. You did it the way out. What? He did it. You responded the way I would have responded. You held back the way I would have held back. You did. You did it just the same way I did. Good job well done. But when you do it your way, you get no credit for that.

00:41:57:19 - 00:42:23:00

Unknown

Now you have to answer for it. Now you have to be this. Now you have to be the sacrifice for it because you did it your way. So now you got to answer for you didn't do it God's way, you did it your way. And if you do it God's way, you guarantee the harvest. How big? 30, 60?

00:42:23:19 - 00:42:59:14

Unknown

100 fold. Any harvest is good when it's God's way. Because I learned one more thing. When God does it, God sustains it. When we do it, we sustain it. Then we have to make it happen. It has to be something we have to maintain. But when God does it, He brings a blessing, has no sorrow with it. Because God did it.

00:43:00:23 - 00:43:44:09

Unknown

God did it. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Since the thing is, he takes now. Amen. Let's pray. That was good, man. That was. That was good. Lord, that was good. Father, I thank you so much for speaking. Just speaking to us and encouraging us and giving us motivation, speaking to us, encouraging us and motivating. Lord, I thank you. Thank you for speaking to us, encouraging us and motivating us more fathers closing in on the end of 2023.

00:43:45:09 - 00:44:13:25

Unknown

Lord, I see a big water tower and then the top it says Blessings and favor. And the Lord said at the bottom, there's the little thing that you spin the opening with a spell. And he said that we've been trying to spin it open and it's real. It's touched so, so tight because of the pressure that's in the water tower.

00:44:14:18 - 00:44:42:25

Unknown

And so he said, it's so tight that you're trying to spin it open. He said, But why don't you just take the sledgehammer and just knock the thing off and just let the water run out and receive the blessing and the favor that has been stored up for you. It's there and it's been stored up waiting for you to release it.

00:44:43:04 - 00:45:07:27

Unknown

We've been happy giving a cup every now and again and putting it over and giving a little bit of water. But the Lord said the time has come to just break open the valve and let the blessing and favor loose. We've been waiting. The Lord says you've been waiting on someone else to open for you. You've been waiting for someone stronger than you.

00:45:08:02 - 00:45:30:12

Unknown

You've been waiting for the right time, he said. This is the time. Just break open the thing and take what's yours. It has been stored up and the reason it has been only coming out in a trickle when you've been trying to open it is because of the pressure that is inside of it. It's not the pressure that's on the outside.

00:45:30:24 - 00:45:53:23

Unknown

There's no resistance on the outside. It's not as if you've been thinking that something is holding me back. The Lord said nothing is holding you back. It is because of the pressure of the blessings and favor that I have stood up for. You have become so great that it's pushing up against it. Just break that thing open and receive it.

00:45:53:23 - 00:46:48:18

Unknown

Take what's yours, take what's yours, receive what's yours walking what's yours Have fun in the water It's yours. It's not for anyone else. It's your blessings and your favor. It's your receive it and then let your condemned conduct be of someone who is blessed in favor. That's why your giving is so important, says the Lord, because it tells the world that it shows me that your conduct is becoming of who I am and you, when you give silence, when you give peace, when you give joy, when you give finances.

00:46:49:02 - 00:47:22:01

Unknown

I see it and it's becoming of who I am. How can I not bestow my blessing and favor upon you when you're walking in this earth as a mirror image of me? Gosh, that's good. So walk in it. Walk in and walk in it. Walking in. Father, we receive that message. That's why this community, the church and I receive that message personally, Lord, I receive that prayer personally.

00:47:22:01 - 00:47:59:13

Unknown

In a man Father. For anyone who is watching and may not know you, they may not have a relationship with you. But after hearing all this today, they want to be in relation with you.

00:47:59:13 - 00:48:31:13

Unknown

They want to know the God I'm talking about. And Father, they're open to hearing and researching and just receiving your love. Lord, Father, we celebrate them, Father. We applaud their decision to be one of your children covered by you and Father that they will reach out to us. I don't want to start CeeCee for prayer. We love praying for people that we love, praise, supports and Lord as we just talked about, giving Father thank you for every financial gift that comes to the wives of the Church.

00:48:32:11 - 00:48:57:00

Unknown

Father, thank you that the blessing in favor is on the gift and the giver. Father that you have been pouring out and unlocking things because of the gift in the giver Lord that they have access to you even more because of their giving, Lord Father that it's a physical record of who you are, physical representation of what you've been in their life.

00:48:57:00 - 00:49:22:11

Unknown

We thank you so much. So, Father, we thank you for every gift, bless every household that gives in Jesus name, Lord.

00:49:24:15 - 00:49:54:16

Unknown

And one last thing, Father. We thank you for every member of the world. As a father, we pray for one. We pray for every member of deep wants to return to the water, father that they will be, even though some may be watching at home. Lord, that we need them in the building and slow. We just pray that they will feel safer, comfortable to come back so we can fill this building up so that as new people are coming in, they will see who are current members of the deep are.

Lord, you can fill this place up for us to launch out from. So continue to rebuild who we are and what we are.

00:50:15:22 - 00:50:31:17

Unknown

We thank you for it in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. So and member we're going to pray about that every week because we do need one. If you're watching. Don't feel any guilt but feel some guilt that you're not here. Don't feel conviction but feel a little bit of comfort that you're not here because we need people in the bill.

00:50:31:17 - 00:50:47:10

Unknown

We need you here. So as new people are starting to come in, we have some new people about three weeks ago. And so we really need our current members to come back to church. So please return back to the hospital or return back so we can hug you, spend time with you, but there's a chair with your name on it.

00:51:05:14 - 00:51:27:02

Unknown

So not don't pray about that. Come to church. There's nothing to pray about. Like Pastor Brenda said, why are we praying about something we already been praying about? So come to church. We miss you. We appreciate you. And we appreciate even that you're not here, that you're still giving. That is a blessing because many times many pastor talk to out of sight, out of mind and but you're even though you're watching a line, you're still giving.

00:51:27:02 - 00:51:46:11

Unknown
