  has
• 0:39
  been
• 0:40
  really
• 0:40
  tough
• 0:40
  for
• 0:40
  me.
• 0:41
  I
• 0:42
  just
• 0:42
  went
• 0:42
  back
• 0:42
  and
• 0:42
  forth
• 0:43
  several
• 0:43
  times
• 0:43
  thinking
• 0:44
  about
• 0:44
  what
• 0:44
  can
• 0:44
  I
• 0:44
  talk
• 0:44
  about
• 0:45
  today?
• 0:45
  Because
• 0:45
  I
• 0:46
  know
• 0:46
  the
• 0:46
  topic
• 0:46
  that
• 0:46
  I
• 0:47
  want
• 0:47
  to
• 0:47
  talk
• 0:47
  about,
• 0:48
  but
• 0:48
  how
• 0:49
  exactly
• 0:49
  to
• 0:49
  present
• 0:50
  it,
• 0:50
  that
• 0:50
  was
• 0:50
  the
• 0:50
  hard
• 0:51
  part.
• 0:51
  So
• 0:51
  I'm
• 0:51
  going
• 0:51
  to
• 0:51
  start
• 0:52
  off
• 0:52
  with
• 0:52
  something
• 0:52
  bold
• 0:53
  and
• 0:53
  I'm
• 0:53
  going
• 0:53
  to
• 0:54
  ask
• 0:54
  a
• 0:54
  question
• 0:54
  on
• 0:54
  today's
• 0:55
  show
• 0:56
  and
• 0:56
  that's
• 0:56
  this.
• 0:57
  Do
• 0:57
  you
• 0:57
  trust
• 0:58
  your
• 0:58
  paycheck
• 0:59
  or
• 0:59
  do
• 0:59
  you
• 1:00
  trust
• 1:00
  your
• 1:00
  provider?
• 1:01
  Now
• 1:01
  you
• 1:02
  might
• 1:02
  be
• 1:02
  thinking,
• 1:02
  I'm
• 1:02
  not
• 1:03
  sure
• 1:03
  where
• 1:03
  Ralph
• 1:03
  is
• 1:03
  going
• 1:04
  with
• 1:04
  this,
• 1:05
  but
• 1:05
  I'm
• 1:05
  going
• 1:05
  to
• 1:06
  paint
• 1:06
  a
• 1:06
  picture
• 1:06
  today
• 1:06
  that
• 1:07
  I
• 1:07
  think
• 1:07
  will
• 1:07
  really
• 1:08
  ground
• 1:08
  you
• 1:08
  in
• 1:09
  what
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  true
• 1:09
  meaning
• 1:10
  of
• 1:10
  generosity
• 1:11
  and
• 1:11
  giving
• 1:12
  is.
• 1:12
  Because,
• 1:12
  listen,
• 1:12
  if
• 1:13
  you're
• 1:13
  like
• 1:13
  me,
• 1:14
  you
• 1:14
  see
• 1:14
  these
• 1:14
  prosperity
• 1:15
  preachers
• 1:15
  all
• 1:16
  over
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  Internet,
• 1:17
  all
• 1:17
  over
• 1:17
  email,
• 1:18
  social
• 1:18
  media,
• 1:18
  all
• 1:19
  those
• 1:19
  things,
• 1:19
  and
• 1:19
  they
• 1:19
  promise
• 1:20
  wealth
• 1:20
  if
• 1:21
  you
• 1:21
  send
• 1:21
  them
• 1:21
  just
• 1:22
  a
• 1:22
  few
• 1:22
  bucks.
• 1:22
  And
• 1:23
  it
• 1:23
  just
• 1:23
  aggravates
• 1:24
  me
• 1:24
  because
• 1:24
  I
• 1:24
  see
• 1:25
  people
• 1:25
  sucked
• 1:26
  into
• 1:26
  this.
• 1:27
  And
• 1:27
  at
• 1:27
  the
• 1:28
  same
• 1:28
  time,
• 1:28
  we
• 1:28
  feel
• 1:29
  culture
• 1:29
  telling
• 1:29
  us
• 1:29
  to
• 1:30
  hold
• 1:30
  on
• 1:30
  tight
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  what
• 1:31
  we
• 1:31
  have,
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  save
• 1:32
  more
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  to
• 1:33
  protect
• 1:33
  ourselves.
• 1:35
  But
• 1:35
  that's
• 1:35
  not
• 1:35
  what
• 1:36
  Jesus
• 1:36
  is
• 1:36
  telling
• 1:36
  us
• 1:37
  to
• 1:37
  do.
• 1:38
  See,
• 1:38
  Jesus
• 1:39
  is
• 1:39
  telling
• 1:39
  us
• 1:39
  to
• 1:39
  give
• 1:40
  even
• 1:40
  when
• 1:40
  it
• 1:40
  feels
• 1:41
  impossible.
• 1:42
  So
• 1:42
  today
• 1:42
  I
• 1:43
  want
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  talk
• 1:43
  about
• 1:43
  why
• 1:44
  giving
• 1:44
  feels
• 1:45
  so
• 1:45
  risky.
• 1:46
  Because
• 1:47
  it
• 1:47
  forces
• 1:47
  us
• 1:47
  to
• 1:48
  answer
• 1:48
  a
• 1:48
  really
• 1:49
  tough
• 1:49
  question
• 1:50
  and
• 1:50
  that's
• 1:50
  paycheck
• 1:51
  or
• 1:51
  provider?
• 1:53
  This
• 1:54
  is
• 1:54
  Financially
• 1:55
  Confident
• 1:55
  Christian.
• 1:56
  Your

  and

  driven

  tips
• 2:00
  to
• 2:00
  help
• 2:00
  you
• 2:00
  break
• 2:00
  the
• 2:01
  cycle
• 2:01
  of
• 2:01
  financial
• 2:02
  shame
• 2:02
  with
• 2:02
  confidence.
• 2:05
  Welcome

  Financially

  show
• 2:10
  to
• 2:10
  break
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  shame
• 2:11
  of
• 2:12
  financial
• 2:12
  difficulties
• 2:13
  and
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  really
• 2:14
  grow
• 2:15
  in
• 2:15
  financial
• 2:15
  confidence.
• 2:16
  And
• 2:17
  we're
• 2:17
  continuing
• 2:17
  in
• 2:17
  our
• 2:17
  series
• 2:18
  breaking
• 2:18
  those
• 2:19
  Financial
• 2:19
  Chains.
• 2:20
  Now
• 2:21
  yesterday
• 2:21
  we
• 2:21
  talked
• 2:21
  about
• 2:22
  multiplying
• 2:23
  your
• 2:23
  talent
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  really
• 2:23
  build
• 2:24
  more
• 2:24
  income
• 2:24
  for
• 2:25
  yourself.
• 2:26
  I
• 2:26
  dispelled
• 2:26
  a
• 2:26
  lot
• 2:27
  of
• 2:27
  myths
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  a
• 2:27
  lot
• 2:27
  of
• 2:28
  innuendo
• 2:28
  out
• 2:29
  there.
• 2:29
  So
• 2:29
  if
• 2:29
  you
• 2:29
  missed
• 2:29
  gestation,
• 2:30
  I'm
• 2:30
  going
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  encourage
• 2:30
  you
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  go
• 2:30
  check
• 2:31
  it
• 2:31
  out.
• 2:31
  You
• 2:31
  can
• 2:31
  find
• 2:31
  all
• 2:31
  of
• 2:32
  our
• 2:32
  shows@financiallyconfidentchristian.com
• 2:36
  but
• 2:36
  today
• 2:36
  we're
• 2:37
  going
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  go
• 2:37
  into
• 2:37
  the
• 2:38
  battlefield.
• 2:38
  Yes.
• 2:39
  And
• 2:39
  I
• 2:39
  think
• 2:39
  that
• 2:39
  is
• 2:40
  exactly
• 2:40
  what
• 2:40
  it
• 2:41
  is.
• 2:41
  A
• 2:41
  lot
• 2:41
  of
• 2:41
  times
• 2:41
  when
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  was
• 2:42
  thinking
• 2:42
  this
• 2:42
  morning,
• 2:42
  I
• 2:43
  said,
• 2:43
  can
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  go
• 2:43
  and
• 2:44
  be
• 2:44
  that
• 2:44
  direct?
• 2:45
  And
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  think
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  have
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  be
• 2:46
  today
• 2:46
  because
• 2:47
  this
• 2:47
  is
• 2:48
  a
• 2:48
  battlefield.
• 2:50
  And
• 2:50
  so
• 2:50
  many
• 2:51
  people
• 2:51
  have
• 2:51
  said
• 2:51
  this
• 2:51
  to
• 2:52
  me.
• 2:52
  They
• 2:52
  said,
• 2:52
  ralph,
• 2:52
  why
• 2:53
  does
• 2:53
  giving
• 2:53
  feel
• 2:53
  like
• 2:54
  gambling?
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  thought
• 2:55
  that
• 2:55
  was
• 2:55
  an
• 2:56
  interesting
• 2:56
  way
• 2:56
  to
• 2:56
  put
• 2:56
  it.
• 2:57
  This
• 2:57
  is
• 2:57
  the
• 2:58
  honest
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  goodness
• 2:58
  truth.
• 2:59
  I
• 2:59
  think
• 2:59
  I
• 2:59
  know
• 2:59
  why
• 2:59
  the
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  think
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  know
• 3:00
  what
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  answer
• 3:01
  is,
• 3:02
  because
• 3:02
  it
• 3:03
  comes
• 3:03
  down
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  what
• 3:04
  I
• 3:04
  started
• 3:04
  today's
• 3:04
  show
• 3:05
  with.
• 3:06
  Who
• 3:06
  do
• 3:06
  you
• 3:06
  really
• 3:07
  trust?
• 3:08
  Do
• 3:08
  you
• 3:08
  trust
• 3:08
  your
• 3:09
  paycheck,
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  cash,
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  money
• 3:11
  that's
• 3:11
  in
• 3:11
  your
• 3:11
  bank
• 3:11
  account?
• 3:13
  Or
• 3:13
  do
• 3:13
  you
• 3:13
  trust
• 3:13
  the
• 3:14
  provider
• 3:14
  who
• 3:15

• 3:15

• 3:15

  many
• 4:01
  people's
• 4:02
  minds
• 4:02
  and
• 4:02
  in
• 4:02
  their
• 4:02
  hearts.
• 4:03
  I
• 4:03
  think
• 4:03
  that's
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  bigger
• 4:04
  part.
• 4:05
  You
• 4:05
  start
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  ask
• 4:06
  yourself,
• 4:06
  if
• 4:07
  I
• 4:07
  give,
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  won't
• 4:09
  have
• 4:09
  enough.
• 4:10
  And
• 4:11
  see,
• 4:11
  I
• 4:11
  want
• 4:11
  you
• 4:11
  to
• 4:11
  just
• 4:12
  think
• 4:12
  about
• 4:12
  that
• 4:12
  for
• 4:12
  a
• 4:12
  second,
• 4:13
  because
• 4:13
  at
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  moment,
• 4:14
  you're
• 4:14
  making
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  choice.
• 4:16
  And
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  lot
• 4:16
  of
• 4:16
  people
• 4:16
  don't
• 4:17
  think
• 4:17
  about
• 4:17
  this,
• 4:17
  but
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  truly
• 4:18
  believe
• 4:18
  this
• 4:18
  is
• 4:18
  it.
• 4:18
  God
• 4:19
  spoke
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  me
• 4:19
  today
• 4:19
  and
• 4:19
  he
• 4:19
  said,
• 4:20
  ralph,
• 4:20
  go
• 4:20
  into
• 4:21
  this
• 4:21
  direction.
• 4:21
  You're
• 4:22
  making
• 4:22
  a
• 4:22
  choice.
• 4:22
  Do
• 4:23
  you
• 4:23
  trust
• 4:23
  your
• 4:23
  paycheck
• 4:24
  or
• 4:25
  do
• 4:25
  you
• 4:25
  trust
• 4:25
  your
• 4:25
  provider?
• 4:27
  I'm
• 4:27
  going
• 4:27
  to
• 4:27
  tell
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  right
• 4:27
  now,
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  know
• 4:28
  about
• 4:28
  a
• 4:28
  business
• 4:28
  owner.
• 4:29
  Cash
• 4:30
  flow
• 4:30
  was
• 4:30
  super
• 4:30
  tight
• 4:32
  and
• 4:32
  payroll
• 4:32
  was
• 4:33
  due
• 4:33
  on
• 4:33
  Friday.
• 4:34
  And
• 4:34
  honestly,
• 4:35
  there
• 4:35
  just
• 4:35
  wasn't
• 4:36
  enough
• 4:36
  in
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  bank
• 4:36
  account
• 4:37
  to
• 4:37
  cover
• 4:37
  that
• 4:38
  on
• 4:38
  Tuesday.
• 4:39
  And
• 4:39
  he
• 4:39
  shared
• 4:40
  with
• 4:40
  me,
• 4:40
  he
• 4:40
  said,
• 4:40
  ralph,
• 4:40
  I
• 4:40
  feel
• 4:41
  like
• 4:41
  God's
• 4:41
  nudging
• 4:41
  me
• 4:41
  to
• 4:42
  support
• 4:42
  this
• 4:43
  missionary
• 4:43
  family.
• 4:43
  I
• 4:44
  was
• 4:44
  at
• 4:44
  church
• 4:44
  on
• 4:44
  Sunday
• 4:45
  and.
• 4:45
  And
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  pastor
• 4:46
  talked
• 4:46
  about
• 4:46
  this
• 4:46
  missionary
• 4:47
  family,
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  I
• 4:47
  honestly
• 4:48
  don't
• 4:48
  remember
• 4:48
  where
• 4:48
  it
• 4:48
  was,
• 4:49
  but
• 4:49
  this
• 4:49
  missionary
• 4:50
  family
• 4:50
  that
• 4:50
  really
• 4:51
  needed
• 4:51
  support.
• 4:52
  And
• 4:53
  he
• 4:53
  said,
• 4:53
  as
• 4:53
  I
• 4:54
  thought
• 4:54
  about
• 4:54
  that,
• 4:54
  as
• 4:54
  you
• 4:54
  know,
• 4:54
  I
• 4:55
  started
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  have
• 4:55
  this
• 4:55
  fear.
• 4:56
  And
• 4:57
  he
• 4:57
  said,
• 4:57
  ralph,
• 4:58
  in
• 4:58
  so
• 4:58
  many
• 4:58
  ways,
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  was
• 4:59
  thinking,
• 4:59
  if
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  do
• 5:00
  this,
• 5:00
  if
• 5:00
  I
• 5:00
  support
• 5:00
  this
• 5:01
  missionary
• 5:01
  family,
• 5:01
  I'm
• 5:02
  going
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  be
• 5:02
  reckless.
• 5:03
  And
• 5:04
  he
• 5:04
  told
• 5:04
  me,
• 5:04
  he
• 5:04
  said,
• 5:04
  straight
• 5:05
  up,
• 5:05
  he
• 5:05
  said,
• 5:05
  I'm
• 5:05
  scared,
• 5:06
  Ralph.
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  want
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  protect
• 5:07
  My
• 5:07
  cash.
• 5:08
  But
• 5:09
  he
• 5:09
  told
• 5:09
  me,
• 5:09
  he
• 5:09
  said
• 5:09
  he
• 5:10
  took
• 5:10
  a
• 5:10
  step
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  faith
• 5:10
  and
• 5:11
  he
• 5:11
  gave
• 5:11
  anyway.
• 5:12
  And
• 5:12
  I'm
• 5:13
  going
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  tell
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  right
• 5:13
  now,
• 5:13
  a
• 5:13
  lot
• 5:13
  of
• 5:13
  people
• 5:14
  said,
• 5:14
  well,
• 5:14
  did
• 5:14
  money
• 5:14
  fall
• 5:15
  from
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  sky,
• 5:15
  Ralph?
• 5:16
  Absolutely
• 5:16
  not.
• 5:17
  This
• 5:17
  is
• 5:17
  not
• 5:17
  a
• 5:18
  prosperity
• 5:18
  preacher
• 5:19
  show
• 5:19
  today.
• 5:21
  But
• 5:21
  what
• 5:21
  did
• 5:21
  happen
• 5:22
  was
• 5:22
  doors
• 5:22
  opened
• 5:23
  and
• 5:24
  he
• 5:24
  said
• 5:24
  it
• 5:24
  was
• 5:24
  a
• 5:24
  miraculous
• 5:25
  Ralph.
• 5:25
  He
• 5:25
  said
• 5:25
  it
• 5:26
  wasn't
• 5:26
  all
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  sudden,
• 5:26
  it
• 5:27
  was
• 5:27
  just
• 5:27
  over
• 5:27
  time.
• 5:27
  He
• 5:28
  said
• 5:28
  my
• 5:28
  clients
• 5:28
  that
• 5:29
  used
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  take
• 5:29
  forever
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  pay
• 5:30
  started
• 5:30
  paying
• 5:30
  early.
• 5:32
  And
• 5:32
  he
• 5:32
  said
• 5:32
  I
• 5:32
  started
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  have
• 5:33
  some
• 5:33
  margin
• 5:33
  in
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  payroll.
• 5:34
  He
• 5:34
  said
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  started
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  notice
• 5:35
  that
• 5:36
  I
• 5:36
  wasn't
• 5:36
  frightened
• 5:37
  with
• 5:37
  that
• 5:37
  Friday
• 5:38
  payroll
• 5:38
  so
• 5:39
  much.
• 5:40
  And
• 5:40
  this
• 5:40
  is
• 5:40
  the
• 5:41
  part
• 5:41
  that
• 5:41
  I
• 5:41
  really
• 5:41
  wanted
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  share
• 5:42
  today
• 5:42
  because
• 5:42
  he
• 5:43
  said
• 5:43
  this.
• 5:43
  He
• 5:43
  said
• 5:44
  more
• 5:44
  than
• 5:44
  money.
• 5:45
  And
• 5:46
  see,
• 5:46
  that's
• 5:46
  the,
• 5:46
  that's
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  key
• 5:47
  takeaway
• 5:47
  from
• 5:48
  today.
• 5:48
  More
• 5:48
  than
• 5:48
  money,
• 5:48
  he
• 5:49
  said
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  day
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  realized
• 5:50
  I've
• 5:50
  been
• 5:51
  trusting
• 5:51
  my
• 5:51
  balance
• 5:52
  sheet,
• 5:52
  not
• 5:53
  my
• 5:53
  God.
• 5:54
  And
• 5:54
  see,
• 5:54
  I
• 5:55
  think
• 5:55
  there's
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  lesson
• 5:55
  in
• 5:55
  there
• 5:55
  for
• 5:56
  all
• 5:56
  of
• 5:56
  us.
• 5:57
  It
• 5:57
  wasn't
• 5:57
  about
• 5:57
  the
• 5:58
  dollars.
• 5:59
  So
• 5:59
  many
• 5:59
  of
• 6:00
  us
• 6:00
  get
• 6:00
  hung
• 6:00
  up
• 6:00
  on
• 6:00
  if
• 6:01
  we
• 6:01
  give,
• 6:01
  we're
• 6:01
  going
• 6:01
  to
• 6:02
  have
• 6:02
  less
• 6:02
  dollars.
• 6:02
  And
• 6:02
  honestly,
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  just
• 6:03
  recorded
• 6:03
  a
• 6:04
  show
• 6:04
  in
• 6:04
  my
• 6:04
  Truth
• 6:05
  Unveiled
• 6:05
  with
• 6:05
  Ralph
• 6:05
  show
• 6:06
  where
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  go
• 6:06
  deeper
• 6:06
  into
• 6:06
  this.
• 6:07
  I'm
• 6:07
  going
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  encourage
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  go
• 6:07
  check
• 6:08
  it
• 6:08
  out.
• 6:08
  You
• 6:08
  can
• 6:09
  find
• 6:09
  all
• 6:09
  of
• 6:09
  those
• 6:09
  episodes
• 6:10
  at
• 6:10
  truth
• 6:10
  unveiled
• 6:11
  with
• 6:11
  Ralph.com
• 6:11
  and
• 6:12
  I'll
• 6:12
  put
• 6:12
  that
• 6:12
  in
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  show
• 6:12
  notes.
• 6:13
  But
• 6:13
  I
• 6:13
  did
• 6:13
  a
• 6:14
  super
• 6:14
  deep
• 6:14
  dive
• 6:15
  into
• 6:15
  giving
• 6:17
  and
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  talked
• 6:17
  about
• 6:18
  this.
• 6:18
  But
• 6:18
  he
• 6:18
  said
• 6:18
  this.
• 6:18
  He
• 6:19
  said,
• 6:19
  ralph,
• 6:19
  it
• 6:19
  wasn't
• 6:19
  about
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  dollars.
• 6:21
  It
• 6:22
  was
• 6:22
  all
• 6:22
  about
• 6:22
  that
• 6:22
  dependence.
• 6:24
  See,
• 6:24
  here's
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  thing.
• 6:25
  And
• 6:25
  he
• 6:25
  said
• 6:25
  this
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  he
• 6:26
  nailed
• 6:27
  it.
• 6:27
  He
• 6:27
  said
• 6:28
  culture
• 6:28
  all
• 6:28
  around
• 6:29
  us
• 6:29
  tells
• 6:29
  us
• 6:29
  that
• 6:30
  paycheck
• 6:30
  is
• 6:30
  security.
• 6:31
  Now
• 6:31
  he's
• 6:31
  self
• 6:31
  employed,
• 6:32
  but
• 6:32
  kind
• 6:32
  of
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  same
• 6:33
  idea
• 6:34
  that
• 6:34
  paycheck
• 6:35
  is
• 6:35
  equal
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  security.
• 6:37
  And
• 6:37
  so
• 6:38
  many
• 6:38
  of
• 6:38
  these
• 6:38
  clowns,
• 6:39
  knuckleheads,
• 6:39
  whatever
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  want
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  call
• 6:40
  them,
• 6:40
  these
• 6:40
  prosperity
• 6:41
  preachers,
• 6:42
  I
• 6:42
  get
• 6:42
  so
• 6:42
  disgusted
• 6:43
  watching
• 6:43
  them.
• 6:43
  They're
• 6:44
  getting
• 6:44
  their
• 6:44
  stupid
• 6:44
  emails.
• 6:46
  They
• 6:46
  put
• 6:46
  it
• 6:47
  out
• 6:47
  there
• 6:47
  like
• 6:47
  giving
• 6:47
  is
• 6:48
  somehow
• 6:48
  this
• 6:48
  financial
• 6:49
  jackpot.
• 6:51
  Send
• 6:51
  them
• 6:51
  $100
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  you're
• 6:52
  going
• 6:52
  to
• 6:53
  find
• 6:53
  all
• 6:53
  this
• 6:54
  abundance
• 6:54
  just
• 6:54
  like
• 6:55
  pulling
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  lever
• 6:55
  on
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  casino
• 6:57
  slot
• 6:57
  machine.
• 6:58
  But
• 6:59
  see,
• 6:59
  that's
• 6:59
  not
• 6:59
  what
• 6:59
  Jesus
• 7:00
  teaches.
• 7:02
  The
• 7:02
  core
• 7:02
  of
• 7:02
  Jesus
• 7:03
  is
• 7:03
  teaching
• 7:03
  on
• 7:03
  this.
• 7:03
  And
• 7:04
  I'm
• 7:04
  going
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  get
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  some
• 7:04
  scripture
• 7:04
  in
• 7:05
  just
• 7:05
  a
• 7:05
  minute.
• 7:05
  I'm
• 7:05
  putting
• 7:06
  scripture
• 7:06
  a
• 7:06
  little
• 7:06
  bit
• 7:06
  later
• 7:06
  in
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  show
• 7:07
  today.
• 7:08
  But
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  core
• 7:09
  of
• 7:09
  Jesus's
• 7:10
  teaching
• 7:10
  is
• 7:10
  giving
• 7:11
  equals
• 7:11
  trusting
• 7:12
  him.
• 7:12
  It's
• 7:13
  a
• 7:13
  test.
• 7:14
  And
• 7:14
  see,
• 7:14
  that
• 7:15
  generosity
• 7:15
  forces
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  question,
• 7:18
  do
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  trust
• 7:18
  what
• 7:18
  I
• 7:19
  can
• 7:19
  produce?
• 7:19
  Do
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  Trust
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  paycheck.
• 7:21
  Do
• 7:21
  I
• 7:21
  trust
• 7:21
  my
• 7:21
  labors?
• 7:23
  Or
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  turn,
• 7:24
  do
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  trust
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  one
• 7:25
  who
• 7:25
  provides
• 7:25
  it
• 7:26
  all?
• 7:27
  Get
• 7:27
  right
• 7:27
  into
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  Scripture
• 7:28
  right
• 7:28
  now.
• 7:28
  Second
• 7:29
  Corinthians,
• 7:29
  chapter
• 7:30
  nine,
• 7:30
  verses
• 7:30
  six
• 7:31
  to
• 7:31
  eight.
• 7:31
  Remember
• 7:31
  this.
• 7:32
  Whoever
• 7:32
  so
• 7:32
  sparingly
• 7:33
  will
• 7:34
  also
• 7:34
  reap
• 7:34
  sparingly.
• 7:36
  And
• 7:36
  whoever
• 7:36
  sows
• 7:37
  generously
• 7:37
  will
• 7:37
  also
• 7:38
  leap
• 7:38
  generously.
• 7:39
  Each
• 7:40
  of
• 7:40
  you
• 7:40
  should
• 7:40
  give
• 7:40
  what
• 7:41
  you
• 7:41
  have
• 7:41
  decided
• 7:41
  in
• 7:41
  your
• 7:42
  heart
• 7:42
  to
• 7:42
  give,
• 7:42
  not
• 7:42
  reluctantly
• 7:43
  or
• 7:43
  under
• 7:44
  compulsion.
• 7:45
  For
• 7:45
  God
• 7:46
  loves
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  cheerful
• 7:46
  giver.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:48
  God
• 7:48
  is
• 7:48
  able
• 7:48
  to
• 7:49
  bless
• 7:49
  you
• 7:49
  abundantly,
• 7:50
  so
• 7:50
  that
• 7:50
  in
• 7:50
  all
• 7:50
  things,
• 7:51
  at
• 7:51
  all
• 7:51
  times,
• 7:52
  having
• 7:53
  all
• 7:53
  you
• 7:53
  need,
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  will
• 7:54
  abound
• 7:55
  in
• 7:55
  every
• 7:55
  good
• 7:56
  work.
• 7:57
  See,
• 7:57
  that's
• 7:57
  the
• 7:58
  central
• 7:58
  core
• 7:58
  of
• 7:58
  Jesus
• 7:59
  teaching.
• 8:00
  Give
• 8:00
  what
• 8:01
  you've
• 8:01
  decided
• 8:01
  in
• 8:01
  your
• 8:02
  heart.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  God
• 8:03
  loves
• 8:04
  that
• 8:04
  cheerfulness
• 8:04
  in
• 8:05
  that
• 8:05
  listen.
• 8:05
  And,
• 8:06
  and
• 8:06
  this
• 8:06
  may.
• 8:06
  This
• 8:07
  may
• 8:07
  ruffle
• 8:07
  a
• 8:08
  few
• 8:08
  feathers.
• 8:09
  If
• 8:10
  you
• 8:10
  don't
• 8:10
  have
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  cheerful
• 8:11
  heart
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  giving,
• 8:11
  don't
• 8:12
  give.
• 8:12
  You're
• 8:13
  not
• 8:13
  doing
• 8:13
  anybody
• 8:13
  any
• 8:14
  favors.
• 8:15
  But
• 8:15
  what
• 8:15
  it
• 8:16
  really
• 8:16
  gets
• 8:16
  into
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  last
• 8:17
  couple
• 8:18
  of
• 8:18
  pieces
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  this
• 8:19
  verse.
• 8:19
  And
• 8:19
  God
• 8:20
  is
• 8:20
  able
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  bless
• 8:21
  you
• 8:21
  abundantly.
• 8:22
  And
• 8:23
  look
• 8:23
  at
• 8:23
  this
• 8:23
  promise,
• 8:24
  so
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  in
• 8:24
  all
• 8:24
  things,
• 8:25
  at
• 8:25
  all
• 8:25
  times,
• 8:25
  having
• 8:26
  all
• 8:26
  you
• 8:26
  need,
• 8:28
  you
• 8:28
  will
• 8:28
  abound
• 8:28
  in
• 8:29
  every
• 8:29
  good
• 8:29
  work.
• 8:29
  Let's
• 8:29
  look
• 8:29
  at
• 8:30
  Proverbs
• 8:30
  is
• 8:30
  another
• 8:30
  one
• 8:31
  that
• 8:31
  really
• 8:31
  backs
• 8:31
  this
• 8:31
  up.
• 8:32
  Proverbs,
• 8:32
  chapter
• 8:32
  11,
• 8:33
  verses
• 8:34
  24
• 8:34
  and
• 8:34
  25.
• 8:36
  One
• 8:36
  who
• 8:36
  gives
• 8:37
  freely
• 8:37
  grows
• 8:37
  richer,
• 8:39
  while
• 8:39
  one
• 8:39
  who
• 8:39
  withholds
• 8:40
  unduly
• 8:41
  comes
• 8:41
  to
• 8:41
  poverty.
• 8:42
  A
• 8:43
  generous
• 8:43
  person
• 8:43
  will
• 8:44
  prosper.
• 8:44
  Whoever
• 8:45
  refreshes
• 8:45
  others
• 8:45
  will
• 8:46
  be
• 8:46
  refreshed.
• 8:48
  Again,
• 8:48
  we're
• 8:48
  going
• 8:48
  right
• 8:49
  back
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  Jesus's
• 8:50
  teaching,
• 8:51
  freely
• 8:52
  giving.
• 8:53
  But
• 8:53
  then
• 8:53
  he
• 8:53
  gives
• 8:54
  you
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  counterpoint
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  that.
• 8:55
  If
• 8:55
  you
• 8:55
  withhold,
• 8:56
  you
• 8:56
  come
• 8:56
  into
• 8:57
  poverty.
• 8:57
  That's
• 8:57
  pretty
• 8:57
  direct.
• 8:58
  And
• 8:59
  see,
• 8:59
  here's
• 8:59
  where
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  dichotomy
• 9:00
  is.
• 9:00
  Prosperity
• 9:01
  Gospel
• 9:01
  says,
• 9:02
  give
• 9:02
  so
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  can
• 9:02
  get
• 9:03
  more.
• 9:03
  That's
• 9:03
  what
• 9:03
  these
• 9:03
  knuckleheads
• 9:04
  all
• 9:04
  over
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  Internet,
• 9:06
  all
• 9:06
  over
• 9:06
  social
• 9:06
  media
• 9:06
  are
• 9:07
  saying,
• 9:07
  Give,
• 9:07
  give,
• 9:07
  given.
• 9:08
  You're
• 9:08
  going
• 9:08
  to
• 9:08
  get
• 9:08
  a
• 9:09
  blessing
• 9:09
  coming
• 9:09
  back.
• 9:09
  And
• 9:10
  I
• 9:10
  get
• 9:10
  so
• 9:10
  annoyed
• 9:11
  watching
• 9:11
  those
• 9:11
  people.
• 9:13
  But
• 9:13
  God
• 9:13
  turns
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  script
• 9:14
  upside
• 9:15
  down.
• 9:15
  He
• 9:15
  says
• 9:15
  this.
• 9:16
  He
• 9:16
  says,
• 9:16
  give
• 9:16
  so
• 9:17
  you
• 9:17
  can
• 9:17
  be
• 9:17
  free.
• 9:18
  And
• 9:19
  see,
• 9:19
  there
• 9:19
  is
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  secret
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  the
• 9:21
  whole
• 9:21
  thing.
• 9:22
  Freedom
• 9:23
  comes
• 9:23
  when
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  stop
• 9:24
  worshiping
• 9:24
  that
• 9:24
  paycheck
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  you
• 9:26
  start
• 9:27
  worshiping
• 9:27
  the
• 9:28
  provider
• 9:28
  of
• 9:28
  that
• 9:28
  paycheck.
• 9:29
  So
• 9:29
  on
• 9:30
  the
• 9:30
  show
• 9:30
  every
• 9:30
  day,
• 9:30
  I
• 9:30
  want
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  give
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  an
• 9:31
  action
• 9:31
  item,
• 9:32
  something
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  can
• 9:32
  do.
• 9:33
  So
• 9:33
  today's
• 9:34
  action
• 9:34
  step
• 9:34
  is
• 9:34
  this.
• 9:36
  Stop
• 9:36
  making
• 9:37
  giving
• 9:37
  the
• 9:37
  leftover.
• 9:38
  Stop
• 9:38
  making
• 9:39
  giving
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  table
• 9:40
  scraps.
• 9:41
  Now,
• 9:42
  you
• 9:42
  need
• 9:42
  to
• 9:42
  hear
• 9:42
  this
• 9:42
  right
• 9:43
  now,
• 9:43
  because
• 9:43
  God
• 9:43
  is
• 9:44
  speaking
• 9:44
  to
• 9:44
  me
• 9:44
  today
• 9:45
  and
• 9:45
  I
• 9:45
  need
• 9:45
  to
• 9:45
  give
• 9:45
  this
• 9:46
  message
• 9:46
  to
• 9:46
  you.
• 9:47
  Stop
• 9:47
  giving
• 9:47
  him
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  leftovers.
• 9:49
  And
• 9:49
  start
• 9:49
  giving
• 9:50
  him
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  first
• 9:50
  step
• 9:50
  of
• 9:50
  trust.
• 9:52
  Because
• 9:52
  with
• 9:52
  every
• 9:53
  dollar
• 9:53
  that
• 9:53
  you
• 9:54
  give,
• 9:54
  you're
• 9:54
  declaring
• 9:55
  something
• 9:55
  bold.
• 9:56
  Paycheck.
• 9:57
  You're
• 9:57
  not
• 9:58
  my
• 9:58
  God
• 9:58
  provider.
• 9:59
  You
• 9:59
  are.
• 10:01
  So
• 10:01
  I'm
• 10:01
  going
• 10:01
  to
• 10:01
  encourage
• 10:01
  you
• 10:01
  today.
• 10:02
  Write
• 10:02
  down
• 10:02
  this
• 10:02
  question
• 10:03
  on
• 10:03
  a
• 10:03
  piece
• 10:03
  of
• 10:03
  paper.
• 10:03
  Do
• 10:04
  I
• 10:04
  trust
• 10:04
  my
• 10:04
  paycheck
• 10:05
  or
• 10:05
  my
• 10:05
  provider?
• 10:07
  And
• 10:07
  let
• 10:07
  that
• 10:07
  guide
• 10:07
  your
• 10:08
  giving
• 10:08
  this
• 10:08
  week.
• 10:09
  And
• 10:10
  I'm
• 10:10
  going
• 10:10
  to
• 10:10
  encourage
• 10:10
  you.
• 10:10
  Pick
• 10:11
  an
• 10:11
  amount
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  give
• 10:11
  that
• 10:11
  stretches
• 10:12
  you.
• 10:12
  Make
• 10:13
  it
• 10:13
  first
• 10:13
  in
• 10:13
  your
• 10:14
  budget.
• 10:14
  Pray
• 10:14
  each
• 10:15
  time,
• 10:15
  Lord,
• 10:15
  please
• 10:16
  fill
• 10:16
  this
• 10:16
  gap.
• 10:18
  But
• 10:18
  don't
• 10:18
  forget
• 10:18
  to
• 10:19
  thank
• 10:19
  him
• 10:19
  because
• 10:19
  he
• 10:19
  is
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  provider.
• 10:21
  And
• 10:22
  just
• 10:22
  thank
• 10:22
  him
• 10:22
  and
• 10:22
  saying,
• 10:22
  I
• 10:23
  choose
• 10:23
  to
• 10:23
  trust
• 10:23
  you
• 10:23
  because
• 10:24
  that's
• 10:24
  really
• 10:24
  what
• 10:24
  it
• 10:24
  comes
• 10:24
  down
• 10:25
  to.
• 10:25
  Do
• 10:25
  you
• 10:25
  trust
• 10:25
  that
• 10:25
  paycheck
• 10:26
  or
• 10:27
  do
• 10:27
  you
• 10:27
  trust
• 10:27
  God
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  provider?
• 10:29
  That's
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  question
• 10:30
  for
• 10:30
  today,
• 10:31
  and
• 10:31
  you've
• 10:31
  got
• 10:31
  to
• 10:32
  figure
• 10:32
  out
• 10:32
  your
• 10:32
  answer.
• 10:32
  But
• 10:32
  how
• 10:33
  about
• 10:33
  we
• 10:33
  pray
• 10:33
  together,
• 10:34
  Father
• 10:35
  God,
• 10:35
  we
• 10:35
  confess
• 10:35
  we've
• 10:36
  trusted
• 10:36
  our
• 10:36
  paychecks
• 10:37
  more
• 10:37
  than
• 10:37
  you.
• 10:38
  And
• 10:38
  we
• 10:38
  believe
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  lie
• 10:39
  that
• 10:39
  our
• 10:39
  security
• 10:40
  is
• 10:40
  what
• 10:40
  we
• 10:41
  earn,
• 10:41
  Lord.
• 10:41
  And
• 10:41
  today
• 10:42
  we
• 10:42
  just
• 10:42
  shift
• 10:42
  that.
• 10:43
  We
• 10:43
  declare
• 10:43
  our
• 10:43
  provider
• 10:44
  is
• 10:44
  greater
• 10:44
  than
• 10:45
  our
• 10:45
  paycheck.
• 10:46
  And
• 10:46
  Lord,
• 10:47
  we
• 10:47
  just
• 10:47
  ask
• 10:47
  that
• 10:47
  you
• 10:48
  would
• 10:48
  make
• 10:48
  us
• 10:48
  bold
• 10:48
  in
• 10:48
  our
• 10:49
  giving
• 10:49
  and
• 10:49
  free
• 10:49
  us
• 10:50
  from
• 10:50
  fear.
• 10:51
  And
• 10:52
  most
• 10:52
  of
• 10:52
  all,
• 10:52
  Lord,
• 10:52
  teach
• 10:53
  us
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  trust
• 10:54
  you
• 10:54
  first,
• 10:55
  always
• 10:56
  in
• 10:56
  all
• 10:56
  things.
• 10:58
  And
• 10:58
  we
• 10:58
  ask
• 10:59
  this
• 10:59
  in
• 10:59
  confidence
• 10:59
  in
• 11:00
  the
• 11:00
  name
• 11:00
  of
• 11:00
  Jesus.
• 11:02
  Amen.
• 11:03
  Giving
• 11:03
  feels
• 11:04
  risky.
• 11:04
  I
• 11:05
  get
• 11:05
  it.
• 11:06
  Because
• 11:06
  it
• 11:07
  forces
• 11:07
  you
• 11:07
  to
• 11:07
  decide
• 11:08
  something
• 11:08
  that
• 11:08
  we
• 11:08
  talked
• 11:09
  about
• 11:09
  a
• 11:09
  couple
• 11:09
  times
• 11:09
  now.
• 11:10
  Who
• 11:10
  do
• 11:10
  you
• 11:10
  trust?
• 11:12
  Who
• 11:12
  do
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  trust?
• 11:15
  Is
• 11:15
  it
• 11:16
  that
• 11:16
  paycheck
• 11:16
  or
• 11:16
  is
• 11:16
  it
• 11:17
  your
• 11:17
  provider?
• 11:17
  Because
• 11:17
  that's
• 11:18
  the
• 11:18
  real
• 11:18
  battle.
• 11:18
  That's
• 11:18
  when
• 11:18
  I
• 11:19
  say
• 11:19
  battlefield,
• 11:20
  that
• 11:20
  is
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  battlefield.
• 11:22
  So
• 11:22
  I'm
• 11:22
  just
• 11:22
  going
• 11:23
  to
• 11:23
  encourage
• 11:23
  you
• 11:23
  one
• 11:23
  more
• 11:23
  time.
• 11:24
  Don't
• 11:24
  wait
• 11:24
  until
• 11:24
  you
• 11:25
  feel
• 11:25
  safe,
• 11:25
  because
• 11:25
  that
• 11:26
  day
• 11:26
  is
• 11:26
  never
• 11:26
  going
• 11:26
  to
• 11:26
  come.
• 11:27
  Give
• 11:27
  today.
• 11:28
  Give
• 11:28
  first
• 11:29
  and
• 11:29
  give
• 11:29
  boldly.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:30
  just
• 11:30
  watch
• 11:31
  what
• 11:31
  happens
• 11:31
  when
• 11:31
  your
• 11:31
  provider
• 11:32
  takes
• 11:32
  over,
• 11:32
  because
• 11:32
  you
• 11:33
  are
• 11:33
  going
• 11:33
  to
• 11:33
  be
• 11:33
  amazed
• 11:34
  at
• 11:34
  what
• 11:34
  happens.
• 11:35
  And
• 11:35
  today
• 11:36
  I
• 11:36
  want
• 11:36
  to
• 11:36
  ask
• 11:36
  you
• 11:36
  for
• 11:36
  a
• 11:37
  favor.
• 11:38
  One
• 11:38
  of
• 11:38
  the
• 11:38
  things
• 11:38
  that
• 11:38
  I'm
• 11:39
  really
• 11:39
  setting
• 11:39
  out
• 11:39
  to
• 11:40
  do
• 11:40
  in

• 11:42

• 11:43
  One
• 11:43
  of
• 11:43
  the
• 11:44
  best
• 11:44
  ways
• 11:44
  we
• 11:44
  can
• 11:44
  do
• 11:44
  that
• 11:45
  is
• 11:45
  through
• 11:45
  word
• 11:45
  of
• 11:45
  mouth.
• 11:45
  I
• 11:45
  mean,
• 11:46
  I
• 11:46
  can
• 11:46
  do
• 11:46
  advertising.
• 11:47
  I
