  SPEAKER_00: God bless you.

  SPEAKER_00: This is Pastor Millie Garcia, and I am here to bring you a message because I have been very worried as I'm seeing each and every day how many people all around the world with this pandemic are worrying about making money and worrying about how they're gonna make money, what's going on, how they're gonna pay their bills.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: But the sad thing is that I'm seeing that many people forgetting the God that is ruler and owner of gold and silver, the God that says He is our provider and our helper in times of need.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm noticing that many people worrying about their earthly possessions, their earthly work.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: But what about the kingdom?
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: What about the spiritual bank where we need to deposit it?
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: See the word of God says in Hebrews 3, 5 to 6, I'm sorry, Hebrews 13, 5 to 6, keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: So we say with confidence, the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: What can mortals do to me?
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: You see, and we see that also the word of God is clear and telling us in Matthew 6:36 verse 33.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about his own things.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Sufficient for the day is his own trouble.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: And we're seeing that many people are worrying in the midst of this pandemic, but we also have to be very, very, very, very, very careful because in the midst of this pandemic, God is searching the minds and the hearts of people, and we have to connect more to God more than anything.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Our first priority has to be the things of God.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: You see, when we find the most confidence, when do we find the most confidence time in our lives during the month?
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: When we're close to a paycheck, right?
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: When we're close to getting paid, when we're close to seeing the money that we work hard for.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm asking myself, what would have happened if you would have no help?
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: You see, this virus is going around and we are at the mercy of God.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: But God forbid each and every one of us, God bless us.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: What happens if any one of us gets affected by this virus?
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: We will be confined, we will be under quarantine.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: They said that the hospital's beds are uh at full capacity.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: We will probably be sent to a place where no one will be able to be there because they are not allowing people in because they're quarantining the people that are affected by this virus.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: So, what would happen?
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: It will have to be you and God, and you will be at the mercy of God as we are today.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: But many people are not realizing it, and I see that many people all around there right now.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Social media is the target, everyone is in social media, there's not a lot of places to go to, things are closed, it's not the same.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's like the whole world has gotten to a stopping point, being paralyzed.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: But what happens if something happens and we are afflicted by this virus, we will have to connect to God more than ever.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Cry out to God, call out God.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: We're not gonna worry about the money, we're not gonna worry about representing any other thing other than representing our God because we are needing Him more than ever.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know why, but I've been very, very concerned as I'm seeing days and days going by, things people would never do.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: They're doing it now for money, and they're they're representing everything just to make sure that their business gets across.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm gonna tell you, there's no business like the business of your father representing the kingdom of God more than ever because there is hungry people out there, there are people wanting a word, there are people going through anxiety, there is people going through fear, and right now a word can make a difference.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: You see, money has a way of calming people down, it is steadying influence, it is an influence that that many, many people have, it calms you down, okay.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: Without it, most people without it feel that they don't have the ability to keep going, they don't have the ability to find contentment.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: You see, Hebrews turn the paradigm outside upside down when we learn that money should be of no consequence to our state of mind because God Himself promises never to leave nor forsake us, okay?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: But what does that mean?
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: What does that mean when God promises never to leave or forsake us?
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: We need money to live, don't we?
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Of course we do, but the real question is this do we need it in order to be content?
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: God says no.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: God asks us to look to Him for our needs and to rewire our brains to understand what security looks like.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: In other words, spoiler alert.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, it won't be in our bank account, and it may not be easy as pulling out our shiny red debit card.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: No matter.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: But God promised never to run out of the end of the month.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: He promises that if we put first, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things, the money, the jobs, the health, the peace, everything you need in one.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: In other words, and all these things shall be added to you.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: See, and we're seeing that many people are forgetting the word of God and what it says, because the the fear of the world, the the discouragement of the world, the things that are happening in the world is drawing them closer to seek more of the outside things.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: And we're seeing that many people are saying, I have faith, I have faith.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: But do you really have faith as little as a muster seed?
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Which that is what God is telling you.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: If you have faith as little as a muster seed, really, well, many people were seeing that the fear is gone out the window, the the the faith has gone out the window, and the fear is kicking in.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Because um faith without works is dead, and we're seeing that many people say, Well, I have faith and I believe in God more than ever.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm connecting to God, but their actions are far from the truth, and we have to be very careful with that because the enemy is playing with the mind, the enemy is is is is toying around with many people today, the enemy is making people feel that their whole dependency should be money, should be anything else.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm gonna tell you this if you are alive today, if you are healthy today, if you are breathing today, when many, many people are dying all over the world, it is a time to rise up and say, you know what, God, I need you more than what I need anything else in my life right now.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: You see, and God says that if we put him first, all the things will be added to us.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: You see, we have to be very, very, very, very careful.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: And when we feel like, God, where are you?
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: God, I'm going through this famine, God, what's going on with my finances?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of saying that, say, Father, the way you provide for me is such much, is so much deeper than dollars and cents.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: Give me faith to recognize where my true security lies, Father God.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of worrying about anything else and asking God, God, why?
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: Why why am I going through this?
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: My finances, God, it's time to put God first.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: You see, when it says Hebrews 13, 5, 6, in other words, don't love money, be satisfied with what you have.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: For God has said, I will never fail you, I will never abandon you.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: So we can say with confidence, the Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: What can people do to me?
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're seeing that God is letting us know.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: You see, we've seen it in the movies.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: The rich man has all the power.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: We see this in society.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: We see this with the rich people, with the rich and the famous.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: They have everything, they have power, they have everything.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: Even the designers, the suits that they wear, the gold that they wear, even the sunglasses, everything that they have, purshes, everything, private jets, everything, whatever they want, they have.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, but listen to whatever he says.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: Do people listen to whatever God says?
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: Do they listen what his word is saying?
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: Do they apply it and realize that in the midst of this, God is calling for his people to rise up more than ever?
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: See, and a lot of people is not realizing what is happening.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: See, if money is power and power is happiness, then happiness must be money.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: And the love of money, hmm, we gotta be very careful with that, okay?
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta be very, very, very careful because at this time the enemy is playing with the minds of many people, okay?
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: This all depends on who you're listening to.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're going through a drought right now.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: Who are you listening to?
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: See, and if the world has bent your ear that direction, perhaps now is a good time to be reminded that Christians have something far stronger to cling to than cash.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: We have Christ Himself as our helper.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Friend, do not give in into the temptation that money will satisfy your deepest needs.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: Look confidently to God, bear his witness, prove his promises and wait as he showers you with the riches of joy and trust in him.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: Think about three times God has come through for you in ways that you that never involve money.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: Money cannot buy happiness.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: You can have all the money in the world, but at the end of every day, you're blinded to the truth of God.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Represent the kingdom of God more than ever now.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: Please, there is something happening, and many are allowing the binds to be put on their eyes.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's time to remove those blinds, and it's time to say, You first, God, and everything in our life.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: This is where the true peace comes in.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is where the true love comes in, and this is where the true state of mind kicks in.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: May God bless you, love you all.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: Pastor Millie Garcia.
