Unlocking Blessings and Unleashing Power: How Obedience and Faith Can Transform Your November! · Mrs. PIE

• 0:26
  Speaker 1: voiceover Alright, good morning y'all.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: This is soaking music for those y'all wondering what is happening.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: So it is Thursday, I'm Shelley and I am back.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I am so grateful to be here.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Good morning everybody on Facebook and on LinkedIn and on Twitter and on YouTube, good morning to the folks who are watching on Pyridek Live Faith Channel and a special good morning to those who will be watching in Apple TV.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: God's word going out, alright.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So I want to start off.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about November's impact challenge.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Basically, it's a challenge for both of us in being the blessing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But before I launch into the word and I am going to share my screen, we're going to be doing a quick study in 1st Kings 17 with Elijah, and I just want to open up the word with Psalm 105.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And Psalm 105, verse 1, says oh, give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So what we're doing here is we're making known His deeds among the people.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I thought that was such a good way to start out, so we'll just pray for us, lord.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We just thank you for giving us the opportunity to see not just another day, but another month, and as we shifted into the month of November, many of us coming with burdens, many of us coming with needs and wants, and many of us seeking your face, seeking your guidance.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are, lord, god, in this teaching, where you'll show us how to, even even in our dire moments, how to still be a blessing to someone else, so that we can also receive.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And so I thank you, lord, that you're going to open up the word Holy Spirit.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: This is your call.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Move forward now, freely as you will, and minister, minister to your people, glorify yourself through me and demonstrate your power so they see you and not me.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: This is not about me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you, lord, amen, all right, I got to go and armored up, so.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, we're going to be talking about being a blessing in the month of November, and this is this is the time of year where we start getting ready for the holidays.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all are there yet, but then for those of us in the, in the US because I realize this is this is a global call that in the US we're getting ready for Thanksgiving in a few weeks and then, you know, a lot of us are shifting into holiday or Christmas preparation at the end of the year, so another another 40 something days left in the calendar and and so, as I was preparing for this, it started out when I was in this scripture.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It started out with, you know, you know, impacted outreach.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's where it started out earlier this, earlier this week, oh, the Lord was showing me and talking to me about our impact, our impact on the people around us, and outreach.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: What does that look like?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And so he brought me to the story of the widow of Zarapath, and there's a lot of different insights and things.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So this is going to be one of those.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe she's telling me that I need to give when I'm in need, kind of kind of situations.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But, my friend, that is the principle that we're under right, all right.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to share my screen and y'all bear with me.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: If you have your Bible, then that's all good, but if you don't, we're going to go by ESV version, and this is Bible gateway that I'm using.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So we're going to start out with them first.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: King 17 again, this is a ESV version.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And just to just to start where, begin at the beginning.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So, versus one, three, seven, just to kind of give the context before we go into the widow of Zarapath me.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Turn my music down here.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yellow need that much, right, all right, so so versus one.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Three, seven is it talks about Elijah introduces lies of the tish bite.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And he was in Gilead and he said to Ahab was the king at that time?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to just try to put some context around it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: As the Lord, god of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall neither be dune or rain for these years.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: These were three years, except by my word.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And then the Lord came to him, to Elijah, and told him to leave that place.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: So this is the prophet getting the instruction to leave that place where he was and hide himself by the brook which is east of the Jordan, and additional instructions about how he would be fed.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And so when I think about you know again, this is Elijah before he gets to the widow, the Lord moving him out, you know, moving him out of the place where he was feeding, feeding him, you know again, feeding him.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: He got bread and meat, but I'm also thinking about the spiritual feeding that Elijah had to receive at that time being poured back into him.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Verse seven, I think, is a call out to those of you all who are, I'm going to say, if you're in any sort of ministry at all.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: After and after a while, this is what the Holy Spirit was showing me this morning.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: After a while, the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't that the situations were just happening to the people, but sometimes, you know, sometimes you are in the middle of some things and it does affect you as well, because we're humans.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So in this place, the brook had dried up and so Elijah had to move out of that place, and some of y'all who are evangelists and five-fold people and pastors, and all of those.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The brook has dried up and you're still in that land because you're not listening to the Lord.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: So even you anointed ones need to be aware and still connected to Jesus, so that when he's telling you to move, you got to move, you gotta move.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So that was I thought that was so interesting that even if you're being fed in a place, there's a time where the Lord might tell you that you've gotta move.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: This brings us to verse eight, and this is the encounter with the widow of Zarathath, and then the word of the Lord came to him.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So it came to Elijah arise, go to Zarathath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So the word had already gone.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I love that I commanded a widow there to feed, the word had already reached her.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So he arose and went to Zarathath.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And when he came to the gate of the city so now this is the gate of the city, this is outside the city behold, a widow was there gathering sticks, and he called to her and said bring me a little water in a vessel that I may drink.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And when she was going to bring it, he called to her.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: So she was operating in obedience.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Right, when she was going to bring it, he called to her and said bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And she said as the Lord, your God, lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And now I'm gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son that we may eat and die.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: She was in a dire situation, remember, remember, there was drought, right?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So Elijah has spoke this thing no rain for three years.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So she is operating under the physical response to what he had spoken.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, so she is gathering sticks and she's preparing for her end.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, she's in lack, she got no resources.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: All right, in verse 13,.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And Elijah said to her do not fear, go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me and afterward make something for yourself and your son.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: This is another part that I just wanna call out y'all that a lot of you are being inspired by folks who call themselves prophets, folks who call themselves pastors, folks who call themselves ministers, and there's a lot of false folks just running rampant right now.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: If you're in a situation, I just want you to be aware, pray first before you give everything to someone, because what Elijah was showing me here, what the Lord was showing me here, it wasn't that Elijah just said make me a little cake, bring it to me.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: He also had a preparation for her as well.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: There was something for her to also receive.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: He wasn't just taking.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: He wasn't just taking, it wasn't.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You know, plant a seed and then maybe you'll get blessed.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's, you know, make me a little cake, bring it to me, and afterwards and afterward, make something for yourself and your son.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: So he was imparting a blessing into her as well.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It was a two way.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And so verse 14, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, the jar of flowers shall not be spent, meaning won't run out, and the jug of oil shall not be empty until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And she did as he said I'm just gonna contextualize this and she and her household ate for many days, many days, and the jar of flower was not spent.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Basically, they did not run out of oil.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: The oil didn't become empty, according to the word.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So now, as you go further down into the story and I'll come back to you and share how this, how we connect this back to this season that we're in and blessing others, in verse 17, we read about after the son, the son of the woman, became ill, and because she had shown this kindness, because she had sacrificed in this way, because she had done this thing out of obedience, because, again where it says in verse nine, the Lord had commanded a widow there to feed her.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So he'd already dropped in her spirit, if you will, that there's going to be this situation, and she willingly obeyed it, even with the little that she had, she was still serving.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Again, it doesn't have to be.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: It doesn't always look like money.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's your time, sometimes it's your influence, sometimes it's your talent.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And yet she responded.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And so now here comes another blessing, because there was already a Megador blessing, if you will.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That happened in verse 15, where she and her household ate for many days because of what she did.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: In her response.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Right In verse 17, and all the way down to verse 24, you see that her son fell ill and so she knew that Elijah had.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: He was a prophet, and so she did what a lot of us would do, right as moms.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Especially she's in verse 18, what have you against me, o man of God?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, to cause and cause the death of my son.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I always wondered like what is her sin that she was crying out?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: That was a remembrance.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: What was it that she had done?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: And yet he said to her give me your son.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And he stretched himself upon the child.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And again you can read through and see how Elijah revived and delivered the son, raised the widow's son.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: So that was a Megador blessing.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: That happened All right, so I'm gonna stop sharing and just talk to you about some of the principles that I learned.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Thanks for loving the video.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Y'all Please like and I always forget to do this, especially on the social media streets Please like the video so that they don't kick me off the channel and we can keep bringing the word.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So the couple of principles that I wanna share, and I'm gonna say this.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this knowing that this is not a season of joy for everybody.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this knowing that there are many of us, me included, who are.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: We're believing God for really big things in our lives.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: We are asking for blessings, financial blessings, for job security.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: We're asking for health and I'm speaking on behalf of a lot of folks I know.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: We're asking for health.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: We're asking for deliverance of our children.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: We're asking for God to show favor to us on our jobs.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: We're asking for, you know, all kinds of things.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm saying this, fully aware, but I'm going to tell you what the Holy Spirit was showing me when, especially when it comes to how we're moving into this new month of November and how we're showing up in the month of November, the things that stood out on the story of the widow of Zaphath that he showed me, just to put it into different contexts.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The first thing was that a lot of times God uses the most unlikely people to accomplish his purpose.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The most unlikely people I am the least likely person to be on here on social media, on professional platforms, at churches, like I'm the most least likely person but God will often use the most unlikely people to accomplish his purpose and that, yes, means you, that means you.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: So we think about the widow of Zaphath, the way that the Lord in that case he encountered her through Elijah in an unlikely way.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: He encountered her through Elijah in her lowest point, when she had nothing.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: She did not have the resources.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: She was preparing maybe the final meal where she had in her mind, she gave up.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: She gave up because she had nothing.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So this is the little bit, the last bit that she had.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Imagine you're preparing, your mindset where you're preparing like there's nothing, there's no help coming, and yet here, here, the Lord sends Elijah for this encounter.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: So God encountering you where you are through the most incredible situations, and yet he's asking you to to sacrifice something.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And she was giving up this meal.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And yet go back and read, because it wasn't that he was just taken from her.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: She was also going to be preparing this is almost from strikes me as like a communion right so he was also instructing her to take some for herself.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just Elijah the prophet showing up to take from her, but God uses the most unlikely people to accomplish his purpose and he used Elijah in this way, as a prophet.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: This woman was ultimately blessed, not only financially blessed you know, you read that they they ate for many, many years but also the Lord had blessed her son and saved his life.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And so in this season you know you you got to make yourself, especially if you're saying you're a believer in your Christian.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: You got to make yourself available where he can use you to accomplish his purpose.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And it might be listen, it might be what you think is your very last.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: What is your very last, sometimes this year very last.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: You know I'm I'm so exhausted, but the Lord is sending me to go and encourage that person and maybe it's your very last.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Like you know, I don't have I'm so tired what the Lord is telling me.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I need to go to church, you know.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: But he's going to use you to accomplish his purpose and that means you too.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: The second thing is when, when Elijah says to her I think it's in verse 13, I don't have it up now I mean he talks about do not fear.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to read that scripture out again because I think this is so important in verse, in verse 13,.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: This is again.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: First, king 17,.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Elijah says to her do not fear, go and do as you've said.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And then he gives us the rest of the instructions make the cake, bring me, bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: But he starts off with do not fear.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And this is again.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: This is important because there's a lot of us who are going to, we're walking into this season where we, the things that we are being called to do, requires faith.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: And yet the first things that you see, elijah, you know, sharing with her, encouraging hers don't, don't be afraid, do not fear.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: So if you're in a season right now where it feels like you know you're, you're at your last, you're at your last right which end?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You're at your last, do not fear and just just remember that, even in this situation, that you're in the small amount that you have right, that that even in, even in this situation that you're still going to need to hold onto your faith.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Don't lose hope and don't lose your faith.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: God requires faith Now.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to call out is the widow's miracle only came after she prepared the meal for Elijah, which means you got to do something.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: The miracle came after she prepared the meal.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't you know.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: He showed up on the scene and everything was resolved and that was that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I gotta do a quick shout out.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: This is my sister.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Sister, thank you so much.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: But this was not a situation that you know she had.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: The scene was set and the you know the miracle came, and then she was so excited and then she was celebrating with Elijah.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The miracle came after she prepared the meal for Elijah, after the sacrifice.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And so there are some of you who you're waiting for this miracle, this miracle, to happen, and yet the Lord is saying, yeah, I'm gonna bless you, but I need you to do this.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Go bless your neighbor.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: What you want me to do, what?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: We're sitting in disobedience a little bit.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I don't wanna go do that because everything isn't right, everything isn't going right and I'm just gonna praise him.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: What?
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: No, he's saying you know you have to do something, right, do something.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: So, especially as we're again, we're in this month of November where you know we're preparing for the holidays, we gotta be the blessing to somebody else.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: We gotta be the blessing to somebody else, all right, give.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: If you wanna receive a lot, you gotta give a lot.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: If you want this anointing, that I have, you gotta sacrifice a lot.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: If you want the favor I have, you gotta sacrifice a lot.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: You gotta surrender a lot, right.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: And so the principle that she was blessed after she gave right and she gave, she gave not knowing.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's not that she knew right away that, yes, you know this man of God is gonna bless me and I'm gonna be a millionaire and you know my son's gonna be.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: She didn't know that she was operating through faith and belief, just faith and belief that I'm gonna bless him, and she got blessed.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: So just remember that.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, the where Mbudo's miracle came after she prepared the meal for Elijah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: You gotta do something.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Verse 15 tells us that they lived off the provision for many days, for many days.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: And why is this important?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You know, we talk about planting seeds a lot and we also talk about harvest a lot and the types of seeds and we've covered this y'all.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: You know it's been a year and a half now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: We've been talking.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: We talk about seeds all the time, the types of seeds that you plant and what harvest looks like.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes the fruit of your your, those fruits of your harvest, sometimes it's people, it's not always money, but this situation here, this situation here in verse 15, where it talks off they live off the provision for many days.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So we know that she was financially blessed and we know that her son was, that was a blessing right.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: But for those of us who are asking God for some incredible things and planting some incredible seeds and believing that we're gonna live off of that provision for a long time, for generations, so some of you are being called to sacrifice.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You know some of the things that you want right now because the Lord wants you to go bless somebody else and, though it makes no sense to you in the mind, know that in the spirit, this is just a, this is a principle.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: This is a principle that you have to do.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: So what does that look like?
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: What does that look like?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: So it looks like if you are someone who the Lord is placed in a job and he is put you in a situation where he's asking you to go bless someone else or forgive someone else, and that's a seed that you're planting and the harvest in that example would be, you know, maybe you modeling Christ and maybe that person being influenced or impacted by the way you're responding to everything that's going on on the job and you're being a blessing to that person, but you're not necessarily, you're not expecting to be blessed back, okay.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, that is one of those spiritual principles of obedience and being joyful and full of peace and being the light and all the things that we talk about all the time.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, that we wanna be in this world.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I wanna be in this world and living off the provision and living off of the blessings and the favor that comes out of that, from planting that one small seed and so, in the widow's case, just her feeding and responding to.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: You know, in this situation, giving what was her last was giving what was her last and then being blessed.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Something else the Lord was sharing with me is our righteousness, meaning some of us are so.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: We're so righteous in the way that we serve.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: We're only gonna serve certain people.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: We're only gonna serve certain nations.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: We're only gonna serve certain situations.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: You gotta be an ultra Christian.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: You gotta say Jesus a name in a different way, or I'm not gonna be.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna waste my blessing on you and nowhere, it doesn't say that, anywhere in the word, anywhere in the word, anywhere in the word.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: How are you gonna be a blessing to somebody this season?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean you know exactly, exactly.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna drop this comment.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Agree, blessed for the sake of blessing, not with the aim of getting something back Right.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: So how many you are going into November where you're looking for somebody to give you a pat on the back.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You know the Instagram post to say look at me, I gave $100 to a homeless person.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Why are you doing that?
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Why are you doing it?
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: You're not doing it from your heart.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: You're doing it for the likes and clicks.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Go bless somebody and don't tell nobody about it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Give God the glory and move on right.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So how are you gonna operate being the blessing to somebody else in this month?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And why is it important?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: We know the way that the Lord works.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: We understand spiritual principles.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: We know about planting the right seeds.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: We know about all that.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: If you are looking for, if you're looking to receive something and I am I'm speaking only for myself what I'm asking for the Lord is bigger than I could ever imagine.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: But I serve an Abba who is, who, is all things, everywhere and can do all right.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: But if I want to do that, I have to.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I have to.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I have to say I have to do something.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I have to be a blessing to you if I want the Lord to bless me back.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: So I hope, I hope this touched you this morning as you're thinking about going into this month of November.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: You know, being a blessing to somebody else, you know, again, like I said, maybe it's your last, maybe it's your last coin, maybe it's your last.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: You know, gosh, your last.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: You know you're exhausted and tired.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what you're, maybe that's what you're giving.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You're serving someone else.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: You know maybe that's what your, your sacrifice is going to be.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: But really think about being the blessing to somebody else, maybe someone who doesn't look like you, someone who doesn't live in your neighborhood, someone who doesn't agree with you.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know, maybe focus on doing that this November and I'm telling you, with the power of the Holy Spirit, your life will change Absolutely.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: The things that you are praying for will start showing up, because that's how the Lord works.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: You got to align with what where his heart is and in the Lord, his heart is about his people.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Jesus is not liberal, jesus is not conservative.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Stop using words that turn people off.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Jesus doesn't say the word.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Well, please, stop doing these things that we use in society.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: All it does is is it's it's a distraction and it turns people away from Jesus.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: So if you are a believer and you come to me and you use those words right away, I'm telling you the Holy Spirit isn't with you, because he's not.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: He's not trying to divide his people, he's trying to draw all men onto me, meaning Christ.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So stop using the words of the world and just go serve somebody, just go bless somebody today, and out of those principles, you'll see the blessings.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Everything, all things will work together for your good.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Father, we just thank you.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your stories in the word.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your, your, your blessings.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your wisdom and your understanding.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you for forgiving us, lord, because we are making mistakes every day in the way that we are serving each other.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Lord, we just ask, now that you will go out, let your word, let your angel's minister to everyone who's under the sound of my voice.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I pray, lord, that they will.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: They will see a demonstration of your Holy Spirit not see me, lord, but see you and that they will be convicted in their hearts, they will be convicted in their thoughts, they'll be convicted in their very spirits today and how they're blessing someone else.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: And let this season be a little bit different, Lord.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Let it be less about us and more about how we're serving each other, and not for the likes and the clicks, but doing it for the kingdom, doing it because that is the right thing to do.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Be a blessing to your neighbor, be a blessing to a colleague, be a blessing to a family member, be a blessing to a friend.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Just be a blessing to somebody else, without expectation.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: And, lord, we know that you'll come back and you'll bless your people anyway, and we thank you for that.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: We thank you that you are faithful to us even when we're not faithful to you.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So, lord, we thank you so much.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you, lord, that your word has gone out.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I have done.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I have done as you've, as you've directed me, lord, and now I release it and ask that you'll bless your people in every way that they need, in Jesus' name.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Y'all wasn't that good.
