Why God Wants You Extremely Rich Breaking The Lie Christians Believe about Money · Godly Hacks

0:00
Hey and welcome. If you are listening to the Godly Hacks podcast,
0:04
this is going to be a little different.
0:05
I'm going to feature a preacher that I am under. His name is Jonathan Shuttlesworth.
0:09
It's a very cool teaching on prosperity and money and mindset,
0:14
communism, the whole deal.
0:16
So we're going to kind of like comment on it, but I think it's going to be a blessing.
0:20
You know, if Christians don't get their mindset right on money,
0:23
maybe you're living in a country and they told you that because of where you
0:27
live, you have to be poor. But God, I'm telling you, God has ways to raise you up.
0:32
And a lot of times people will say preachers don't need houses or jets or Christians
0:37
don't need things because you can feed somebody.
0:39
But that mentality actually is in Judas. That's what Judas said when they poured
0:43
expensive perfume on Jesus. He said, we could have sold it and use that money to feed the poor.
0:48
It wasn't because Judas cared about the poor at all. It was because Judas,
0:53
he wanted to keep the money for himself.
0:56
And so today, oh, I am live. Look at that. I'm live on X. Yay.
1:01
There we go. Perfect. All right. So, so he wanted to hold on. Sorry.
1:08
Okay. Sorry. I'm finally live on X. So anyway, I want to play this for you.
1:12
I'm going to let people know, will you take a minute and tell people that I'm
1:15
live? That would be a blessing to me. Also, this episode today is sponsored
1:21
by Theo the Trustasaurus Learns to Pray.
1:24
You can go there and get it for your kids. It's a book about prayer,
1:28
or you can get my other book, 13 Reasons Why Not to Yourself. It's on Amazon.
1:33
And there you go. So I want you to go there and get that. I'm gonna let this
1:36
play for just a moment and i'll be back while you are taking a second to share
1:41
Hey steph, this is gonna be good.
1:42
We're gonna go through this whole thing today Hopefully won't be too long again.
1:46
Thank you for watching. Thank you for sharing Please comment.
1:48
Let me know where you're watching from where you're watching from and if you're
1:51
on facebook comment comment comment All right.
1:54
All right. Here we go Let's listen to these pieces and i'll be right back with
1:58
you after Greed for me to want to keep what i've earned and not greed for you
2:02
to want to take what i've earned,
2:03
Why is it greed for the people that are watching me to want to keep their pay
2:06
that they worked for to spend however they want, but it's not considered greed
2:10
for you to feel you have a right to it?
2:12
I'm all for somebody has a broken back and can't work. Somebody's spinal cord
2:16
gets severed in a motorcycle accident and the family needs help. I'm all for that.
2:20
But anybody with a brain knows that that's not how it's going anymore.
2:23
That's right. There's perfectly able-bodied people walking around in $900 Amiri
2:28
sneakers on government assistance.
2:31
And it's ridiculous. And that'll increase until people get fed up about it.
2:36
The country we're in, the United States was founded on people killing the government
2:41
over raising a tax on tea.
2:43
I don't know how you get from that to people that are agreeing to have half
2:45
their pay confiscated for transgender surgeries for felons.
2:49
No, I saved it. I know how unprofessional this is right now.
2:53
Nobody will tell you when hygiene standards stopped applying.
2:55
You'll just notice the smoke, the shopping cart grill on the pavement,
2:58
and no one's stopping it.
2:59
Nobody will tell you when first world transport became third world crowding.
3:02
I'm telling you, I was just on the trains.
3:03
In Italy, you're all your university professors in America. They are the wondrous
3:08
mass transportation systems of Europe. See you all. Welcome,
3:10
Anna. Welcome, everybody watching. Let me know where you're watching from,
3:13
what you're doing. No one is building anything fast enough.
3:15
Nobody will tell you when taxes stop meaning investment. You'll just notice
3:18
you pay more tax than your parents did for less than they ever had.
3:21
The average Roman didn't know their empire collapsed. They just noticed their
3:23
road stopped being repaired one day.
3:25
Nobody will tell you when the metro stopped being safe after dark.
3:27
You'll just notice you stopped taking it, and so did every woman you know.
3:30
Nobody will tell you when your city started giving out the same advice as a
3:32
war zone. Don't take your phone out. Don't wear jewelry. Don't walk alone.
3:35
You just do it automatically now.
3:37
They told me, you know, they told me when I was in Milan, one of the salesmen
3:39
told me, he's like, I want to wear your watch and that bracelet I have.
3:42
I want to wear it around here if I were you. I'm not doing that.
3:45
I'm not living like that. Somebody wants to try to take it. You can earn it if you can take me out.
3:48
There are some things I'm worth dying over. It's not the watch and the jewelry.
3:51
I know where you're watching from today too, by the way. Don't take your phone
3:53
out. Why don't you get the country fixed?
3:55
And until then i'm gonna live like I lived in the 1980s. I'm going to venezuela
3:59
to preach I'm, not living in fear of anything ever I'll take precautions,
4:03
you know Some precautions i'm not living like i'm in a war zone because you
4:07
people don't know how to run run a society keep going.
4:10
Nobody will tell you when the playground stopped being for children.
4:12
You'll just notice your kids play around the tents now.
4:14
I'm telling you, the West is turning into the third world. You might not see
4:17
it yet, but once you do, you can't unsee it. And then he tells about his page.
4:19
So thanks for finding that for me.
4:22
It was worth finding. And then let me have the other tweet.
4:24
This is a secular guy. A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said,
4:27
I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane. Check out his response.
4:31
I replied. Hey, so if you're watching for the first time, we're going to cover
4:34
a lot today. Thank you for watching. If you're with Godly Hacks and you're listening, I'm excited.
4:39
Good morning from kentucky. Let me know where you're watching from what city
4:42
what country by the way Quick update.
4:44
I just want to share. I don't know who's listening on the podcast when this
4:48
goes live But I want to tell you all something that I I think is amazing.
4:53
All right, you ready for this in the last week alone my podcast has reached.
4:58
33 downloads in Singapore. 33.
5:03
11 in the U.S., 2 in Bangladesh, Argentina, Turkey, Hong Kong,
5:08
Iraq, Vietnam, and South Africa.
5:11
So if you happen to be listening from any of these countries,
5:14
I'm so glad you're listening.
5:16
There's been 131 downloads in the last 30 days of these nations.
5:21
You ready? Singapore, Japan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Argentina,
5:25
Brazil, Hong Kong. Nigeria, praise God.
5:28
Saudi Arabia, praise God. Thailand, Turkey, praise God. South Africa, I love Africa.
5:34
Bulgaria, UK, come on, more in the UK need it. Iraq, Kuwait, Mexico, and Peru.
5:41
Glory to the living God forever. So if you're listening in any of those nations,
5:45
I love you. I welcome you. Please share and help more people in your nation get this.
5:49
I think it's going to change lives. So isn't that awesome, you all?
5:52
I just wanted to share that with you. This ministry is reaching all over the
5:55
globe somehow by some miracle. I'm not sure.
5:57
It fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built.
6:00
I'm sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory.
6:03
It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built
6:05
the turbines. I tagged you twice. It fed a company for a few weeks when I had
6:08
them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
6:11
That's the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality.
6:14
When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets and give them dignity for their skills.
6:18
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self-worth.
6:22
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
6:25
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down
6:28
your throat that you never asked for. That is brilliant. Keep that up.
6:33
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
6:36
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down
6:39
your throat that you never...
6:40
She already said, so as you know, there's a lot of people that are pro-socialists,
6:43
but you understand like this,
6:46
what I hope that you get, no matter where you are, what you're listening to,
6:50
when they tell you that capitalism is wicked, all socialists do is they hide.
6:56
So they act like they're trying to help everybody. but all a socialist is doing
7:00
is forcing you to give up your money, pretending that they're going to care for everyone equally.
7:06
But that has never happened in the history of never. They take all of your money
7:11
and they keep it for themselves because they're evil.
7:13
So capitalism is the best way that you've got a chance to help your family.
7:18
You might live in a nation that tells you socialism and communism cares for
7:22
everybody, but that's a lie. Anyone that ever is on top, they take all the money.
7:27
And so that's what he's trying to tell you. Like capitalism is the best way,
7:30
which is why America is a great nation and many nations are running to America.
7:35
They realize that, and do we have our problems? Of course we do.
7:38
But for the most part, we are a great nation. We bless the world.
7:41
Most Christians are socialists without even knowing it.
7:45
Not many, most. I stand by that statement.
7:49
Yes, I'm still going to Venezuela. When did you ever hear me say I wasn't going?
7:52
August 1st and 2nd. I'm going at the end of next week. I tagged you twice again. Don't worry about it.
7:56
I'm just randomly tagging a bunch of people. Because all the stuff,
8:00
think about it. Your average Christian in our stream of Christianity,
8:03
evangelical, Pentecostal Christian, they voted for Trump. They're against socialism.
8:08
They would be against the Democratic Socialists of America. But they're also
8:12
against ministers having planes.
8:13
Listen to this part. This is the plane part. So you need to make up your mind.
8:17
Whether you're a communist or for a free market because most people they vote
8:23
republican they say they don't like democrats and they have all the same objections
8:26
that democrats have to private wealth,
8:28
why does he need a house like that couldn't he have fed more people that would
8:31
be something that see this is so if you're a christian and you're listening
8:35
or you're listening on the podcast this is what i'm trying to share we have
8:37
to get out of this mindset when you say something like that guy's driving a
8:41
nice car couldn't that money be used for the poor,
8:44
that person's got a nice house.
8:46
That's what Judas said. When they put perfume over Jesus, Judas said,
8:50
couldn't we have sold this and given it to the poor?
8:54
The Bible says that God has limitless resources if you serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
9:02
No matter if you live in a country with poverty, no matter if you have a job
9:05
right now or not, no matter who you are, you have the same ability as anybody to become wealthy.
9:12
And don't let anyone talk you out of it. And will people attack you?
9:16
Yes. Will they say you're a false person? Yes, but it doesn't matter.
9:20
Do you wanna help your family or don't you? Do you want to come up out or don't you?
9:24
And so what he's saying is some Christians have this mentality like,
9:28
you know, why do they have a jet? And if you're thinking like that,
9:30
you got to get this thinking straight before we get to someone with a plane,
9:34
think how many people could be fed for the price of that plane.
9:36
And they don't realize that when people are buying planes, you are feeding people.
9:39
You're keeping companies in business.
9:43
So I pray that this lit a little bit of a fire in you before I launch into this,
9:47
because I feel like, was it D.L. Moody that said before you get people saved,
9:50
you have to get them lost?
9:52
He was talking about preaching. Yeah. Before you offer Christ to people,
9:55
he was saying you have to make them realize they're going to hell.
9:57
Right. And to get interested in prosperity, people need to realize where things are headed.
10:05
If you don't latch onto this doctrine.
10:07
So do you understand what he's saying? You probably don't. What he's saying
10:10
is- Because in choosing not to allow God to prosper you,
10:13
then you're just going to get pushed around by the Mamdani's of the world and
10:17
the AOC's and Bernie Sanders and all of them that are so full of crap,
10:21
own multiple homes worth millions of dollars, telling you about the benefits
10:24
of living in a house that's 400 square feet and not having any property and
10:26
not driving a car while they take private jets to their campaign stop.
10:30
So if you're listening to me from one of these other nations,
10:33
In America, we're capitalists and whatever.
10:35
But what he's saying is that when people try to talk you out of the blessing
10:38
of God that belongs to you, they are telling you, you should have a small house.
10:43
You shouldn't have anything. You should be broke.
10:45
But they're flying around in jets. They have big houses. Mondami,
10:49
I think, has a gate all around his property. If you don't know who he is,
10:52
you're listening to me internationally. He's the mayor of New York.
10:55
So it is wicked. It's a wicked system that tells you that you can't make money
11:00
or tells you that you shouldn't have money. And He makes a good point about greed in a minute.
11:04
So if you want to do something about it, you should be tithing and giving offering,
11:08
for God to open the windows of heaven over your life and pour out a blessing
11:11
that's so great you won't have room enough to receive it. Turn to Psalm 15.
11:13
This is where I'm going to start. Psalm 15, 112.
11:15
Psalm 115, verse 12. Excuse me. So remember how people say, hope you're enjoying
11:20
this. Why do you have that house? You could feed the poor. How come you have
11:24
this? You could, so he's going to break that according to scripture right now.
11:27
The Lord has been mindful of us. He will bless us. Psalm 115,
11:30
12. He'll bless the house of Israel.
11:33
God remembers me and will bless us.
11:36
Write that. God will bless me. Put that in the comments. He will bless the people
11:39
of Israel, and he'll bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
11:43
Write that down. God will bless the people, and God will bless the priests.
11:46
There you go. There's prosperity for the people, and there's prosperity for the ministers.
11:50
So you see how the devil, the devil will tell you that if somebody has a nice house, it affects you.
11:57
If somebody has a nice car, you're not going to get your food.
12:01
But that's not the Bible.
12:03
The God of the Bible, let me just tell you something about the earth,
12:06
if you're living in a country where there's poverty, if you're living in a nation
12:11
where food is being kept from you, it is not because there's a shortage.
12:16
It's because greedy people are holding onto it. That's what it is.
12:21
And so the Bible says there is enough money for the ministers,
12:25
for the gospel, and for the people.
12:28
So when the enemy tells you, if you drive a nice car, if you have a nice thing,
12:33
you're not feeding people, that's a lie of the enemy. You understand that?
12:37
And God is not stupid. And God has made accommodations for the wealthy people
12:43
to have plenty, for churches to have plenty, and the people to have plenty.
12:48
Both. It's right there in the Bible. Yeah.
12:51
He will bless those who fear the Lord, both great and lowly.
12:54
May the Lord richly bless both you and your children.
12:57
May you be blessed by the Lord who made the heavens and the earth.
12:59
God has a blessing for you, and it's a tangible blessing.
13:02
I want you to write this down. These are two immutable Bible facts.
13:06
There is a financial penalty for sin. Yeah. And number two, there is a financial
13:11
benefit for obedience to the word of God.
13:14
I'll speed it up a little bit.
13:17
All right. You get that? There's a blessing for following God.
13:20
I really believe if you stay on with me, and I'm not going to keep you on all
13:22
day, you're going to like this message. I've never taught on it before.
13:25
27 scriptural motivations for a Christian to obtain wealth. Okay,
13:28
here we go. Now that you know, if you don't have wealth, you're going to have
13:31
to do what you're told. Yeah. Do you understand what he's saying?
13:35
So the greatest reason for you, wherever you're listening to,
13:38
I don't care if you're in China. I don't care if you are in Pakistan.
13:42
I don't care if you're in Nigeria. I don't care if you're in America.
13:45
The greatest reason for you to be prosperous is so that you don't have to succumb
13:52
to the rich, wicked ruler.
13:55
Because the Bible says the borrower is a slave to the lender.
14:01
So if I'm the lender and somebody borrows for me, I basically own them,
14:06
so to speak. That's what the Bible says.
14:08
So what he's saying is if all of the wicked men and women of the world have
14:12
the money, then the good people are servants to those people.
14:16
But if you're rich, well, there you go.
14:18
So I have what they tell you to drive, be restricted in travel.
14:22
We couldn't do anything we're doing as a ministry if I decided to be a normal minister.
14:25
I can't fly commercial to Venezuela. It's impossible.
14:29
Okay, let's move on. Here's the thing. Wealth brings liberty,
14:32
protection, and the ability to obey God without unnecessary financial limitation. There you go.
14:36
Personal stewardship and freedom, category one.
14:40
So in this teaching, he's breaking it into three categories.
14:44
And again, I'm trying to rush through the video, but,
14:47
he's given you three categories, but all of these scriptures,
14:50
why you as a Christian should believe in prosperity and why you should have money.
14:56
And you're always going to have people that'll be on this broadcast saying you
14:59
just want people's money and it doesn't matter. That's fine.
15:02
But if you listen to this, I'm telling you, it'll fix you. It'll help you.
15:05
It brings liberty, protection, and the ability to obey God without unnecessary
15:07
financial limitations.
15:09
Yes, I can pray for your work in India. Father, help my brother in India and help him to be rich.
15:16
You can do all these in King James. For it is he who gives power to create wealth.
15:19
In order to fulfill the covenant, he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.
15:23
King James, but thou shalt remember the Lord thy God for it is he that giveth
15:25
thee power to get wealth. Write that down. Power to get wealth.
15:28
That's in the Bible. Power to heal the sick. Power to cast out devils.
15:31
Power to raise the dead. Power over sin. Power to get wealth.
15:35
Which he swore unto thy fathers as it is this day. Genesis 12, 2 and 3.
15:38
Again, you know, when people say that money is evil, if money is evil,
15:45
how did our God give us power to get it? That doesn't make any sense.
15:48
And thou shalt be a blessing. Three.
15:50
And I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you.
15:53
And in thee, all the families of the shall be blessed.
15:56
Comment where you're watching from today. Number one, to confirm God's covenant.
15:59
Number two, 1 Timothy 6, 17.
16:02
Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high-minded nor trusted
16:06
in certain riches, but in the living God who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.
16:11
Amen. Ecclesiastes 5, 19. It's a great verse.
16:13
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, he hath given him power
16:17
to eat thereof and to take his portion and to rejoice in his labor.
16:19
This is the gift of God. Let me see in the NLT.
16:23
And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God. You didn't know that was
16:25
in the Bible, did you? Hey, Melissa. Ecclesiastes 5.19, write that down.
16:29
Good morning, Marissa. It is a good thing to receive wealth from God.
16:32
And the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot. Let me see King James.
16:37
To take his portion and to rejoice in his labor. It's a gift from God to work
16:41
and enjoy the fruit of your work.
16:43
Scriptural motivations for a Christian to obtain wealth. Number two,
16:46
to enjoy God's good gifts. It's how God wants you to live.
16:50
To work and enjoy the fruit of your work, not be dependent on other people.
16:52
The Bible specifically tells you that in the New Testament that you never have to depend on others.
16:55
I don't need a ride home tonight. I'm not hoping somebody blesses me with some
16:58
food. I'm telling you, some of these charismatic ministries,
17:00
you're going to end up a poor bum your whole life if you hang around them.
17:02
Every testament we were believing for food. And I'm not talking about people
17:05
that just got saved. I'm not talking about people who have been in church like
17:07
11 years, people on the pastoral staff.
17:09
Yeah. We were believing for somebody to, you know, so a car to us because we
17:12
needed transportation. God wants you to learn how to function.
17:14
He gave you skills. You use those skills. You get paid for those skills and
17:18
you enjoy life. Amen. Number three, Proverbs 22, seven.
17:22
The rich rules over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender.
17:25
This is a big one. Romans 13, 8.
17:27
Owe no man anything but to love one another. Owe no man anything.
17:30
Number three, scriptural motivations for a Christian to obtain wealth,
17:33
to live free from debt and financial bondage.
17:35
Number three, to live free from debt and financial bondage.
17:40
Because the rich rules over the poor and the borrower is slave to the lender.
17:42
Yeah. Number four, Ecclesiastes 7, 12.
17:46
For wisdom is a defense and money is a defense. Proverbs 10, 15.
17:51
The rich man's wealth is a strong city. The destruction of the poor is their
17:54
poverty. Didn't know that was in the Bible, did you? The rich man's wealth is his strong city.
17:59
The destruction of the poor is their poverty. Curious what it says in the NLT.
18:03
The wealth of the rich is their fortress. The poverty of the poor is their destruction.
18:06
Basically the same thing. Number four, because money is a defense.
18:10
Why wasn't our church shut down by the local government? We had money to fight and win.
18:14
We had the best lawyers. Yeah. So other churches don't have that.
18:18
So they just have, well, no, we can't go to court. It's going to be hundreds
18:19
of thousands of dollars. We have hundreds of thousands of dollars and we have millions more.
18:23
So you're not going to push us around. And they realize that money is a defense.
18:27
When people realize you can, people go after easy targets and the poverty of
18:31
the poor is their destruction. When you don't have any money,
18:33
you can't hire a lawyer. They can threaten to take your kids away for not giving
18:36
them the COVID vaccine. You get pushed around when you don't have money.
18:38
And that should be a great motivation to let God bless you.
18:41
Did you hear what he said? So when you have money. Spiritual motivations for
18:45
a Christian to obtain material wealth and financial fortune.
18:47
They don't mess with you. Number five, Ecclesiastes 10, 19.
18:50
Money answereth all things. Didn't know that was in the Bible, did you?
18:53
I did. But money answereth all things. Ecclesiastes 10, 19b.
18:56
Obviously, scriptures have to be taken in the totality of all scriptures.
19:00
So money can't be an answer for your redemption. You can't buy your way into
19:03
heaven. Right. But outside of that,
19:07
Money takes care of a lot of things. Yeah. Money answers all things. Ecclesiastes 1019.
19:14
I wanted to take my dad to a restaurant in California when we were out there
19:16
together. Listen to this. I wasn't going to be with him for Father's Day,
19:18
so I took him to a nice restaurant.
19:20
And they said, there's a two-hour wait. Do you have a reservation?
19:22
I said, no, but I have two crisp $100 bills.
19:24
She said, follow me. Right in front of everybody. I mean, there were people
19:26
lined out the door of this place in California, and they didn't even try to
19:29
hide the fact that they were just letting me cut the line.
19:32
And I know when you're listening to it, and he says this, it might make you mad.
19:36
But what he's trying to say is, instead of you and me getting mad,
19:40
ask the Lord, Father, make us to be the people that have the prosperity.
19:45
And it's not just about restaurants. It's just about being able to be a distribution
19:50
center for the world. Like, here's the thing. If the wicked men and women are
19:54
in charge of the money, they'll never do the right things with it.
19:57
But if somebody whose heart is right before God, like Solomon was,
20:00
Solomon's like, I need to judge these people. And God's like, I'm gonna make you rich.
20:05
So if your heart is right, you can then do great things for the kingdom.
20:09
That's what it means when it means money answers all things.
20:12
I want to take my daughter. Okay, we're going to skip. If you're a poor criminal,
20:14
they kick the door of your house down at four in the morning and raid your house.
20:17
If you're a movie star, they call and make an appointment to arrest you.
20:20
Yeah, that's true. Money, number five, money answers all things.
20:25
In parentheses, not your redemption. Number six, that is a scripture.
20:29
Psalm 118, 8 and 9. We're getting our brains changed for money.
20:34
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Galatians 5.1.
20:39
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be
20:41
not entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Keep that scripture up.
20:44
Great production job tonight.
20:46
Number six, to live free from financial control and compromise.
20:50
How many people that claim to love the Lord are gonna miss church this Sunday
20:52
all over America and Canada and Europe because I have to work?
20:56
No, you don't have to be in church. But because you've rejected prosperity,
21:00
you now have to trust in heathens for your money.
21:03
And if they tell you to work, you tell God tough luck and you go to work.
21:06
I know it's a pretty direct way to say it, but I didn't say anything that's wrong.
21:11
You know why i'm into prosperity because i'm not living like that i'm a full-time
21:15
christian and a part-time everything else,
21:17
you have to understand too he he he didn't he didn't start like that like he
21:22
was preaching this way when he didn't have anything so i know sometimes when
21:26
you listen to something like this you might be like well i gotta work i don't appreciate that but.
21:32
I'm telling you if you begin to change your mindset then you can live this way
21:36
and that's what I'm believing for, for us. Now, my husband does have his own business.
21:40
And so he decides when he's going to work and when he isn't,
21:43
but he's still working for clients and stuff.
21:45
So there's a path of wealth that you and I can get into where we can be this.
21:51
So when I was younger, my baseball coach, I told my bosses when I worked in
21:55
Bible school, you know, I'm not working Sunday. Do whatever you got to do.
22:00
I have a friend, and his whole life is falling apart. Do you think that's possible,
22:04
that you can live that way? Say yes or no in the comments.
22:07
Video games together on Saturday night. And another one of our friends said
22:10
something about church and asked him where he was going to church.
22:13
He said, oh, I can't go to church. I have to, I won't say where he works.
22:16
I have to open up, we'll say, I have to open up the shop.
22:19
I said, why do you care more about that shop than your own soul?
22:21
He's not even the owner of the shop.
22:23
So, because he, well, he said, I have to open the shop. Somebody said,
22:26
well, really? You're not going to go to church?
22:27
And go, you're going to work at the shop? He said, well, if I don't open the
22:29
shop, there's no one there to open it on Sunday. Okay, who cares?
22:32
So you've lost everything. You've lost your marriage. Everything's crapped out.
22:36
And you still can't see that your crappy commitment to God and his house is the root of it.
22:41
Because deep down, the Restream chat's out. You see that?
22:44
Yeah, you can pick her up. And now the whole monitor's off. You all want to
22:47
see the puppy? Here, hold on. So. My puppy's coming to do the broadcast with me. Hold on.
22:54
I'm not saying this out of a position of being like upset or anything.
22:57
You know, our church is booming to the point that we've had to get a zillion
23:00
new properties to contain it. So
23:01
I'm not thinking about who's—I'm talking about—you should think of that.
23:04
You know, like some of you that are watching already have plans to not go to church this Sunday.
23:09
I'd love to hear what they are. Just a special guest broadcast. The only thing God asks.
23:14
He wants the first hours of the week, and he wants the first 10% of what comes into your account.
23:18
And then you do it when you feel like doing it, then wonder why everything isn't
23:23
flowing exactly like the Bible said.
23:25
Can you shut my door, baby? of commitment to God's word is determining the level,
23:30
of the fulfillment of the promises in your life. What's that?
23:35
Come on, Mama. I'm still online though, correct? Aw, she's so cute.
23:43
She's so glad to be with me. It's cute. Okay, I said sign off.
23:47
All right, sorry for that interruption. If you've been listening,
23:50
it was my dog. Okay, let me fast forward.
23:52
Scriptural motivations to receive wealth as a Christian. I hope you're enjoying
23:54
this. Number eight, 1 Timothy 5.8.
23:57
But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house,
24:01
he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. Proverbs 19, 14.
24:05
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers, and a prudent wife is from
24:10
the Lord. Number eight, now we get into the family part.
24:14
Motivation number eight, to bless your family. If you don't have a desire to
24:17
bless your wife materially and bless your children materially,
24:20
it's not because you're holy, it's because you're an idiot.
24:23
7-Eleven, if ye fathers being evil know how to do it, it gifts your children.
24:26
Jesus said, evil fathers know how to give good gifts to their children.
24:28
How much more will your heavenly father give good gifts?
24:30
A good father gives good gifts to his children and blesses his family. Come on.
24:34
And you should want to do that. Yeah. What I did with Camilla this last week
24:37
in Italy. You know, you should have a desire.
24:40
When you don't enter into prosperity, you become somebody. It's why kids don't
24:43
serve the Lord that grow up in Christian homes like that.
24:46
You know, you have no desire to make anybody's dreams come true in your house.
24:49
So you just, you berate them for having dreams.
24:52
No, you shouldn't want that purse. You shouldn't want a car when you turn 16,
24:55
Camilla. You should be happy just to walk. We don't need all that.
24:57
No, you should want to do the things for your family that your family couldn't do for you. Yeah.
25:05
So what are you going to do? Are you going to repeat what you heard your dad
25:08
say and your grandfather say and keep everybody poor? We don't need that.
25:11
Nobody needs to live in a house like that. We're the Williams family.
25:14
No Williams will ever drive a car like that. I'll tell you that much.
25:16
Why talk like that? Why not break it?
25:19
Number eight, to bless your family. Number nine, Proverbs 13,
25:23
22. Number nine, Proverbs 13, 22.
25:24
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. Psalm 112, one to three.
25:29
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord and delighteth
25:32
greatly in his commandments.
25:34
His children shall be mighty on the earth. The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
25:37
Three, wealth and riches shall be in his house and his righteousness endureth
25:41
forever. Let's read one to three again.
25:43
Let's read one and three. Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord.
25:47
Anyone that tells you that the Bible doesn't teach that God promised wealth
25:52
and riches to you personally When you fear him and do what he says,
25:55
they bought a Bible missing Psalm 112, 1 to 3, or they're just lying to you. It's right here.
25:59
Well, the Bible says he'll bless you. It doesn't say anything about money.
26:01
Yeah, it does. Go to verse three.
26:03
Yes, you can. God'll give it back. God's house. His is your house.
26:07
And your heart was right, so. And his righteousness endures forever.
26:10
Number nine, to leave an inheritance. That's right. Humble is not poverty.
26:14
To leave an inheritance.
26:17
Most of the people who died in my family on both sides, almost all,
26:21
maybe all of them, we were asked as grandchildren or cousins or whoever to kick
26:26
in money to help bury them. We didn't get anything.
26:29
How can you live on this planet for 80 some years and not accumulate enough? It's unscriptural.
26:35
So I made up my mind, I'm not doing that. Camila's not gonna have to kick in money to bury my body.
26:40
She's gonna find out everything she gets. That's right. And then if Jesus tarries
26:43
her children, a righteous man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.
26:46
Right, an inheritance. You're talking about some serious blessing.
26:49
He doesn't spend it all. In the comments, give me an estimate.
26:52
If the bible's true and it says a righteous man when it's all said and done
26:55
will leave an inheritance that is too much for his children and his grandchildren
26:58
there'll be enough left that his grandchildren can have it what are you talking
27:00
about there you're talking a lot of money all right let's keep.
27:04
And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard.
27:08
That's why, that's what Paul said, you know, under the inspiration of the Holy
27:12
Ghost. So that's why I know I seem harsh, but when you're a 48-year-old grown
27:16
man with both of your arms and both of your legs, and you're not blind,
27:19
and you're not deaf, and you know, I need a ride, I don't have,
27:22
I want to know where you work.
27:23
Because you're not following the example of the Bible. You know,
27:26
you can be temporarily poor, a tornado wipes your house out.
27:28
I'm not talking about that stuff.
27:29
But for it to be a lifestyle, it's anti-scriptural. That's right.
27:34
It's anti-scripture. Hold on one second. Let me see. Let me go right there.
27:38
We must have missed something right in here. Hold on.
27:40
Now, he that ministers seed to the sower, both minister bread for your food
27:43
and multiply your seed sown and increase the fruit, the fruits of your righteousness.
27:47
Being enriched in everything. Write that down. Everything. Put that in the comments.
27:51
Not just spiritual things. Everything.
27:53
To all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
27:56
Meaning as God enriches you, it causes people, when you do what he tells you
27:59
to do with the money, to give thanks to God because of what you did.
28:02
If you're a part of Revival Today, you've been a part of that,
28:04
you know, every day. I'm checking the audio. My mother said lost audio.
28:08
Can you all hear me on YouTube?
28:10
Say yes in the comments if you can hear us. Because we should be able to be here.
28:17
Can you all hear? See, shall we? Thank you guys so much.
28:23
Yeah, you can hear. I don't know. Mom, I can hear. Must just be you.
28:27
Mom, it's got to be you because I can hear fine.
28:30
The audio is on. Mom, it's you. You must have hit mute on your phone. Okay.
28:35
Acts 20, 35. Mother, you hit mute. I have showed you all things,
28:39
how that so laboring you ought to support the weak and to remember the words
28:41
of the Lord Jesus, how he said it's more blessed to give than to receive.
28:44
Number 10, motivation number 10, to bless those in need, to be able to bless
28:49
those that are in need, not pray with those that are in need.
28:51
Lord, help them find an apartment. You can help them.
28:54
You can bless them. Paul said, remember, I showed you how I worked with my own
28:56
hands so that you can be a blessing to others. Let me see it in the NLT. Acts 20, 35.
29:00
So many zips away long.
29:03
And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. That's true.
29:09
Exactly. That's what Paul said, you know, under the inspiration of the Holy
29:12
Ghost. So that's why I know I seem harsh, but when you're a fool,
29:16
So he's telling you you have to work. Every other religion is shame.
29:18
As though fast we acquire property and build them out.
29:21
And let me just share something with you. If you all, and for those of you listening
29:26
from around the world, I'm just so thankful you're here.
29:29
Please stick with me. But if you're watching this and some of this you can't
29:33
relate to because you're like, man, I can't relate to buying property and all. It's OK.
29:37
Just right where you are. Believe God where you are. Because let me just say,
29:42
you know, we have a nice house. We have some nice things. We have our church.
29:46
But we're believing God for property.
29:48
I'm not where Jonathan is. I'm not where he is. But I'm not going to get mad
29:52
at where he is because I'm trying to get to where he is.
29:55
So I'm going to trust the Lord. I'm going to go before God. I'm going to see
29:58
if there's anything in my mindset that shouldn't be here.
30:02
And so I just want to share that with you because here's what can happen.
30:06
It's kind of like if you're in a room full of people and everybody can buy something,
30:11
but you can't, you begin to resent them. And I get it because I've been there.
30:15
But if you feel that way, you'll never be able to come up higher.
30:19
And so as you're listening to this broadcast, if there's stuff in here and you're
30:23
like, man, I can't even, I'm just trying to pay bills. I can't, it's okay.
30:28
But believe for something bigger. Ask God, just put your hand on your head and
30:31
say, Father, help me to think like heaven.
30:34
Help me to think limitless thoughts. God, help me to increase. Help me to prosper.
30:40
Because the Bible says that you probably, exactly, mom, it was you.
30:44
Okay, here we go. It's a motivation for prosperity.
30:46
It's in a hope when there's some rich person out there, let God make you the
30:49
rich person. There you go.
30:51
12, John 3, 16. Let God make you rich.
30:54
For God so loved the world that he gave, his only begotten son,
30:57
that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
31:00
But the first part of the verse, for God so loved that he gave. That's right.
31:04
Giving was a proof of God's love. And he gave the most valuable thing he had.
31:08
Number 12, to reflect the generosity of your heavenly father.
31:12
God didn't give cheap, he gave his best. He expressed his love through giving.
31:16
And we being like our father should express our love and the love of God for people.
31:21
So when we do these events as a church that you all have helped me,
31:24
like with Stephanie, she was sending these beautiful gifts. Marissa sent beautiful
31:27
gifts. But we have church outreaches in my local community. I don't give cheap things.
31:32
When we do Christmas, I gave away, we gave away, not hoverboards.
31:36
Yeah, hoverboards. Is that what it's called?
31:37
Hoverboards, expensive remote control cars, money. I mean, beautiful things
31:43
that I would want for my own child because I'm representing the kingdom.
31:46
I'm not giving away cheap stuff.
31:48
And so that's another the reason why you should have God.
31:52
It doesn't say God so loved the world that he really wished he could have done
31:54
something to help the world. God so loved the world that he gave what it took
31:57
to redeem the world at great cost.
32:00
Number 13, that you can reflect the generosity of your heavenly father. Yes.
32:04
Jesus didn't tell the 5,000, you know, sorry, I wish I could feed you.
32:06
Obviously, there's too many people here to feed. No. Now, I'm not going to say
32:09
who or what, because we've done it for different people. But because,
32:13
you know, God has blessed our ministry and because we have pretty much no debt at the moment.
32:20
You know, when people have been hurting or in trouble. Now, if they ask me for
32:24
money, I don't give it to them.
32:26
But God's laid it on my heart for different people. And I've sown money here.
32:30
I've sown money there. I've sown money. And people don't know about it because
32:34
I specifically tell them not to tell anybody.
32:36
But I'm able to do that because our ministry is blessed. And that's what he's
32:41
talking about. Be a blessing to somebody. Be like Jesus.
32:44
Be like God the Father, generous. Be like your father, Abraham.
32:49
Subcategory number four. Hope you're enjoying this. Kingdom advancement.
32:53
Wealth is fuel for evangelism, church growth, missions, and every kingdom assignment.
32:59
Wealth is fuel for evangelism, church growth, mission. Man, that is so powerful.
33:03
If you'll get that, you'll never be somebody that feels bad about having money
33:07
or, you know, and I can impossibly take that. No, whatever you're gonna give
33:09
me, I can take it. Exactly, won't give people your junk, that's right.
33:13
If I had $25 billion given to this ministry right now, I would immediately know
33:18
what to do with it. I'm not saying I'd spend it all right now,
33:20
but I am telling you, I know what I would do.
33:22
I would start buying churches left and right and putting pastors in them and
33:25
see the nation go up from it.
33:27
Wealth is fuel for evangelism. This is powerful. Wealth is fuel for evangelism,
33:33
church growth, missions, and every assignment God gives.
33:36
Number 13, this is now kingdom advancement, subtitle four.
33:40
Motivations for a Christian to obtain material wealth and financial fortune.
33:42
Matthew 6, 33. Why should a the kingdom of God in context, the advancement of
33:46
the kingdom of God. And all these other things will be added unto you. Matthew 24, 14.
33:50
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness
33:53
unto all nations. And then the end shall come.
33:55
Number 13, motivation number 13, to advance the kingdom of God. Romans 10, 14, and 15.
34:00
How then shall they call on him whom they've not believed? How shall they believe
34:02
in him of whom they've never heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
34:06
It does take money to go. Like I'm not going out yet, but it takes money to go out.
34:12
Go back to 15. And how shall they preach except they be sent?
34:15
Luke 8, 1 to 3, the record of the women that traveled with Jesus. Luke 8, 1 to 3.
34:20
They came to pass afterwards that Jesus went through every city and village
34:22
breaching. Let me tell you something on a very small scale level.
34:25
So, you know, everyone says the gospel is free and whatever.
34:28
But, you know, even this platform that you're watching me on,
34:30
it's like depends on what thing you do. But it's like one hundred and forty
34:33
dollars every month just for the platform to broadcast.
34:38
One hundred and forty plus dollars every month. Chat GPT because you need it
34:41
for graphics and stuff is another forty dollars a month to be with a checkmark
34:46
on Facebook and X. So more people see you. It's ten dollars here. it's $15 there.
34:51
To go on podcasts live, it's like, I don't know, $30 every week. The website is $20.
34:56
So you can see how ministry adds up financially pretty quickly.
35:02
And so when somebody says, well, the gospel is free, they don't know what they're
35:05
talking about. Because of course, you know, Jesus isn't. So if I do a healing
35:10
meeting, I'm not charging people admission.
35:13
But the gospel is very expensive. For one thing, it costs Jesus his life.
35:17
And for another, it takes money.
35:20
So like all these people that, all these nations that are watching in just the
35:24
last seven days, or listening rather, okay, if you're one of the nations listening,
35:29
my broadcast, whether they listen to it for two seconds or one,
35:33
in Singapore, in the United States, in Bangladesh, in Argentina,
35:37
in Turkey, in Hong Kong, Iraq, Vietnam, and South Africa, that only happened
35:42
because I'm paying a service that gets it out to them.
35:45
So you understand how the gospel does cost money. of the kingdom of God, and the 12 were with him.
35:49
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,
35:52
Mary Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, three, and Joanna,
35:56
the wife of Chusa, Herod, Stuart, and Susanna, and many others,
35:58
which ministered unto him of their substance.
35:59
Motivation number 14, to fund the preaching of the gospel.
36:04
Oh man, I wondered. Crap. You guys, I'm going to cut YouTube off for a second
36:09
and see if I can put it back on with something.
36:12
So jump off of YouTube and back on. I knew there was a problem.
36:15
David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon, whom God has clearly
36:18
chosen as the next king of Israel, still young and inexperienced,
36:20
the work ahead of him is enormous.
36:21
For the temple he will build is not for mere mortals. It is for the Lord God himself.
36:25
Using every resource at my command,
36:27
I have gathered as much as I could for building the temple of my God.
36:29
I knew, I'm so bummed i knew that i wasn't getting the haters i normally get
36:34
and i'm like what i wasn't dual broadcasting so
36:37
i had to fix there's enough gold silver bronze iron and wood as well as great
36:40
quantities of onyx other precious stones costly jewels and all kinds of fine stone and marble three,
36:45
and now because of my devotion to the temple of my god i'm giving all of my
36:48
own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction this is
36:51
in addition to the building materials i've already collected for his holy temple
36:53
if you're watching exodus 35 20 through 29 nlt find you back on because i didn't
36:57
have the small one keep going streaming.
37:00
And all whose hearts were stirred
37:01
and whose spirits came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord.
37:04
They brought all the materials needed for the tabernacle and the performance
37:06
of its rituals. Go to 28 and 29 for the sake of time.
37:10
Marissa, I knew you were having a lull. I was like, where's all the haters?
37:14
I didn't have it in a lull. So the people of Israel, every man and woman who
37:15
was eager to help in the work of the Lord had given them through Moses,
37:18
brought their gifts, and gave them freely to the Lord.
37:20
Motivation 15, to finance great works for God. Yeah.
37:24
To be a financier of great works for God. Right.
37:28
Motivation number 15, to finance
37:30
great works for God. to build things for God and expand his kingdom.
37:33
Instead of whining about what Muslims are building, build something yourself for God.
37:38
That's good, huh? 16, 1 Kings 8, 17 through 20.
37:43
And it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house for the name of
37:46
the Lord God of Israel. Haggai 1, 48.
37:48
It is time for you, O ye, to dwell in... Is it time for you... Photo penalty.
37:53
Why are you living in luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins?
37:56
Number 16. Yeah. To build places that honor God. I didn't have it... Hold on a sec.
38:02
Welcome, YouTube. I just swapped out. Please tell me where you're watching from.
38:05
Country, nation, city, whatever. And Marissa, the reason you had a quiet day
38:09
is I didn't have it in the up.
38:11
That's why we didn't have the viewers. But I fixed it. Build churches.
38:13
Get ready. Why are you living in luxurious homes while my house is a dump?
38:17
That's what moved David.
38:18
David saw the Ark of the Covenant in a tent while he was in a palace.
38:21
And he said, how can I live in a palace while God's presence is in a tent?
38:25
Motivation 16, to build places that honor God. You would be amazed what would
38:29
happen to you in the next five years if you made a vow from your heart,
38:32
I'm gonna pay for a church,
38:34
not just before I die, I'm talking like soon, like before I turn 50,
38:37
if you're 20, before I turn 40, I'm gonna pay, I am going to build a church for God.
38:42
You'd be amazed because as soon as David got it in his heart to do it,
38:45
that's when God gave him the money.
38:47
And most people that lack supernatural resources, material wealth and financial
38:51
fortune, there's nothing in their heart to do anything for God, just them.
38:55
Now, let me say something. That's also a timing thing because clearly I want
38:59
to do a lot for God and I don't have what he has yet.
39:03
So I'm believing to get there, which is why I'm watching it.
39:07
See if there's anything in my mind that needs to move. If I need to have a shift
39:11
so that I can get what God wants me to have.
39:13
So don't get mad at that statement. If you're watching and you love God and
39:16
you put God first and there's still some lack, just know, okay,
39:20
I'm getting out of this season. That's what I tell myself. I'm not staying here.
39:24
But everybody write in all caps, not me. And then write this in all caps.
39:27
If I can get it in my heart, God will get it in my hand.
39:30
There should be a desire in you to do something for God.
39:33
You know, if you're with Revival Today, there's things we're doing that give
39:36
you that opportunity. If you don't care for me, then plug into another ministry,
39:40
but you're going to have to pick somebody.
39:42
Anybody can pick every ministry apart. At some point, you're going to have to
39:45
plug in somewhere. Yes, I want to ask, where does all the money go that goes
39:48
in the offering? I was like in his 40s.
39:50
Where does the money go that goes in the offerings? I said, see that? That's a chair.
39:53
See that? That's a light. See that? That's a platform. Those are drums.
39:56
You're standing on a floor. Like, what are you, three?
39:59
Where's the money go? Look around, you dummy.
40:01
Never saw him again. 18.
40:06
Acts 4, 34, 37. Neither was there any among them that lacked.
40:11
That's the early church. No lack. No lack. As many as were possessors of land
40:14
or houses. Put that in the comments. No lack.
40:16
35. No lack. And laid them down at the apostles' feet. And distribution was
40:20
made unto every man according as he had need. Hebrews 13, 16.
40:24
But to do good and communicate, forget not, for with such sacrifices,
40:26
God is well pleased. NLT.
40:29
And don't forget to do good and to share with those in need.
40:31
These are the sacrifices that please God. Number 18, to have the ability to
40:35
obey God immediately. Yeah.
40:38
We're giving people the opportunity to sow into us going to Venezuela,
40:42
but we don't operate from behind. We've sowed into Venezuela.
40:44
Oh, Venezuela's opening up for the gospel. Let's take two years and raise money so we can go. No.
40:48
If you enter into financial prosperity, when the door's open, you move.
40:51
Subtitle number five, influence and leadership. This should intrigue you.
40:55
I don't, to me, this is one of the best things that I've ever taught on prosperity.
41:00
Godly prosperity opens doors to influence culture, inspire faith,
41:03
and advance righteousness. Subheading number five, influence and leadership.
41:06
Motivation number 19, Deuteronomy 28, 10.
41:09
And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of
41:11
the Lord, and they shall be afraid of thee. Isaiah 61 through five.
41:15
Arise and shine for thy light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon thee. Two.
41:19
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people,
41:21
but the Lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
41:23
Three, and the Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
41:28
Lift up thine eyes round about thee and see all they gather themselves together.
41:31
They come to thee, thy sons shall come from far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
41:35
Then thou shalt see and flow together and thine heart shall fear and be enlarged
41:38
because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee.
41:40
The forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
41:43
Number 19, motivation, to be a testimony to the world.
41:47
Your life should be a billboard of how great God is and what God can do for
41:51
an ordinary person. That should be a motivation.
41:54
Number 20, Psalm 126, 1-3. Do Zechariah 8, 23.
42:00
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, in those days it shall come to pass that ten men
42:03
shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of
42:06
the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, we will go with you,
42:08
for we have heard that God is with you.
42:10
Number 20, to inspire faith and confidence in others.
42:13
I say this humbly, but God has used my small life that way for some of you that
42:18
are watching. You saw me and it inspired you.
42:22
Pastor Russell just had somebody offer him use of a private jet that is in no
42:26
way connected, you know. But he told me like, getting around you,
42:29
just like Jesse Duplantis did for me, you see what's possible.
42:32
And it's great to allow God to use your life to show people,
42:35
wait a minute, there is a way out of this thing, you know?
42:39
Cody Jones, I'm sure, would say that. So, you know, they got around other evangelists
42:43
that were struggling, and then evangelism's hard, you know, people don't give,
42:46
there's not much money in ministry, then they meet me.
42:48
No, everybody's not struggling, Jonathan's not struggling. So how is he not
42:51
struggling? Is it witchcraft?
42:53
Did he dabble in the occult? Did he get some crystals from the New Age store in Sedona?
42:57
No, it's revelation from scripture. So then your lifestyle.
43:01
So that's what we're getting. You understand? He said it's revelation from scripture.
43:05
So you and I today are getting revelation that if there's anything hindering
43:10
or blocking the prosperity of God in our lives, we're getting our mindset straight,
43:15
so that there can be a flow from heaven.
43:17
Because I believe that, that God wants to other people out. Nobody thought they
43:20
could beat Goliath. David killed him. Then everybody ran to help him attack
43:23
the rest of the Philistines.
43:23
Your life can be an inspiration for what will happen because it's a law,
43:26
the ritual, it's a Bible law, the ritual over the poor.
43:29
So another motivation to not reject prosperity as, why do you think it is? Listen to this.
43:35
How is there a hundred million Christians in America and they have less influence
43:40
than a tiny bunch of transgenders or whatever because they reject prosperity.
43:45
If you stay poor, you will have your laws written by people that hate you,
43:48
hate your children, hate your family, and hate your God. And there you go.
43:52
That's the point. So you two, and I don't believe in prosperity.
43:54
It's not important to me. Okay. Then you're going to get dominated by evil people.
43:57
Yep. There you go. And that's a good reason to have money right there.
43:59
The right to take their place in prosperity. Up the nation goes.
44:03
22, to influence leaders and nations. Motivation number 22, to have a real influence,
44:08
over leaders and nations. Yes, come on.
44:09
That's a will thing. 23, Proverbs 29, two.
44:13
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked
44:15
bear rule, the people mourn. Ecclesiastes 10, 16, and 17.
44:19
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child and thy princes eat in the morning.
44:22
Blessed art thou, O land, when the king is the son of nobles and thy princes
44:25
eat in due season for strength and not for drunkenness.
44:28
23, motivation 23, to promote righteousness in government.
44:32
There's people that are so rich they can make one phone call to the governor
44:34
and say, I don't like this law that's being passed. If you do that,
44:36
I'm going to move my company out of your state.
44:37
Yeah. No, we're sorry. I'm telling you, that's how it works. Uh-huh, it does.
44:42
You're welcome, Brenda. What a nice thing to write. And finally,
44:44
subheading number six, wealth creation and economic dominion.
44:48
Here we go. Biblical prosperity positions believers to create opportunity,
44:52
lead in the marketplace, employ others, and exercise righteous economic influence.
44:57
Motivation number 24, Deuteronomy 15, six.
45:01
For the Lord thy God blesses thee, as he promised thee. And thou shalt lend
45:04
unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow.
45:06
There you go. That's supposed to be our heritage. For the 24th to become a lender
45:09
and not a borrower. And I know it's hard to imagine, but we're not supposed
45:12
to borrow. Write this down. It's better to have people paying interest to you,
45:15
than you paying interest to people. Yeah, it's better.
45:17
It shouldn't be that difficult of a concept to understand, but apparently it's
45:19
avoided 99% of the body of Christ.
45:21
No, it's not the one to take a loan. You think it's the one to take a loan?
45:23
That's not whether it's wrong or not.
45:25
Why not get in the position where the Bible says you belong as the lender and not the borrower? Yeah.
45:31
Wealth creation and economic dominion to become a lender and not a borrower 25 colossians 4 1,
45:38
masters give unto your servants that which is just and equal knowing that you
45:41
also have a master in heaven james 5 4,
45:44
behold the hire of laborers who have reaped down your fields which is of you
45:48
kept back by fraud crieth and the cries of them which have reaped are entered
45:51
into the ears of the lord of the sabbath see there's a lot of wicked people
45:54
number 25 this is to be a blessing as an employer.
45:58
How many of you with a show of emoji hands have worked for a crappy bus?
46:02
We even have hands going up in the studio. I have. Wow, all of you. Hurtful.
46:08
Who's worked for an evil bus? I have. Who's worked for somebody mean?
46:12
Well, a motivation for prosperity is, as a godly employer, you can bless your
46:16
family. Good to see you, Stephen.
46:18
I was wondering about the Bard family from Ohio. Miss you. I don't see you in church.
46:21
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained
46:24
servants born into his own house 318 and pursued Job 1.3.
46:29
His substance also was 7,000 sheep and he had a very great household so that
46:34
this man was the greatest of all the men of the East. Proverbs 27, 23 to 27.
46:39
Thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks and look well into thy herds.
46:41
24. For riches are not forever and doth the crown endure to every generation.
46:45
The hay appeareth and the tender grass sheweth itself and the herbs of the mountains
46:48
are gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing and the goats are the price of the field.
46:53
And thou shalt have goat's milk enough for thy food and for the food of thy
46:55
household and for the maintenance of your women to become an employer and raise
46:59
others into prosperity. Number 26.
47:02
It has been very enjoyable to watch people that have started working for Revival Today.
47:06
You know, Patrick, when he came on, I don't know what his starting salary was.
47:10
I don't know if McGauss was around. 17, he was like hourly, I think.
47:13
$17 an hour, something like that.
47:15
And now he has an executive salary with healthcare and just bought a new house.
47:19
I'll tell you, the scripture the Lord gave me on that. Can you find Tessa?
47:23
Mustard seed is the smallest of seeds, but becomes a mighty tree and birds make their nest in it.
47:27
So that's, I'm going to end it with that Bible verse right there.
47:32
That's what you're supposed to be.
47:34
You are supposed to be this mustard seed that even though you may be starting
47:40
smaller, you are supposed to be somebody that,
47:47
the maker of heaven and earth can use to bless people.
47:51
And so, you know, if you and I aren't there yet, it's okay.
47:55
You know, it's like I'm not fully there yet either, but I'm believing God to
48:00
get there. I'm believing the Lord to increase. And so how do I do that? Well, I tithe and I give.
48:06
Speak. Father, I thank you. Try not to talk poverty.
48:10
What is poverty talk? I can't afford that. That's too expensive.
48:12
And you might be thinking, well, Lisa, it is too expensive. That's all right. Just don't say that.
48:17
Oh, just say, Father, I thank you. I can afford anything. God,
48:20
you're the one that makes all the silver, all the cattle and all the gold,
48:22
and you're my father, so I can get it.
48:25
And you might not be able to get it right now, but you can.
48:28
And also, you know, you don't want to be covetous. So it's not like I need to
48:31
have this. I've got to have this. It's, Father, I put you first.
48:35
I put your kingdom first.
48:36
And I know every good gift is coming to me.
48:39
And so, and you know, he already said, like, if you don't work,
48:42
you don't eat. We know all that.
48:44
You can't help some people. There are people in this world and they know how
48:47
to game the whole system. I've seen it with my own eyes. They all have government
48:50
housing. It's like five family generations and you can't help people like that.
48:55
But for those of you that watch this broadcast, I really believe in my heart.
49:00
I'm just telling you, I really, really believe in my heart that God really loves
49:06
you and that God really wants you to prosper supernaturally and that there is a way for you.
49:15
To prosper supernaturally, that there's a method, there's a path that God can
49:21
and will make you actually rich, like literally rich. I believe that.
49:27
I believe you can be wealthy.
49:30
The Bible says the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
49:33
I believe there's a path that you and I can walk in, that we can follow God,
49:39
and that when we're in that path, that he can do great and mighty works for us.
49:43
Come on, don't you believe it? I believe it. He can give you ways to make money.
49:49
He can help you. He can show you, I don't know, all kinds of things.
49:53
He can show you ways to do businesses and jobs and increase and all the stuff.
50:00
All the stuff. Because he really loves you. Like, really loves you.
50:04
And that's what I'm believing for you, and that's what I'm believing for, for me.
50:10
Believing that for you and for me. You understand that? Because I know that God really loves you.
50:16
And I know that God can make a way out of no way. So if you're listening,
50:20
don't get discouraged no matter where you are financially.
50:24
God can help you. He can bless you. He can give you wisdom for money and all this stuff.
50:29
And you can have great and financial blessings. And you don't have to live like
50:35
everybody else. You understand that.
50:38
So how do you do it? Like I said, well, you change your mindset.
50:40
If you've got anything that you're like, man, I wish that, or I don't like that
50:44
person because they have money, you need to change that mindset.
50:48
Not think like that. Okay, there's that.
50:53
And then you need to believe God. God, give me godly ideas and stuff like that.
50:56
God, show me how to prosper.
50:58
And he will. He will increase you. He will prosper. Hold your hands up and say,
51:02
these are the hands of a very rich person.
51:05
And so I don't know where you're watching from, but I'm going to pray a blessing
51:08
on you. First, I'm going to pray for you to ask Jesus. That's the first thing,
51:11
because if you have all the money in the world, but you end up going to H-U
51:13
double hockey sticks, it doesn't matter.
51:16
So Father, if there's anyone watching and they don't know you,
51:19
just say this. Say, God, I'm sorry. I repent.
51:22
Jesus, come into my heart. Change me and be the Lord of my life.
51:27
You said that simple prayer. You can be saved forever.
51:30
Now, if you are watching me, wherever you're listening from,
51:33
watching, whatever, I'm telling you there's a God in heaven,
51:37
and He can make you rich, literally.
51:39
And you can be blessed. You can have money and be happy. You can have money
51:44
and have health. You can have all the stuff, but we can't be covetous.
51:48
So we can't just only want money.
51:50
The Bible says you can't love God in money.
51:53
So you have to love God. But if you love God, he gives you money.
51:57
It's just kind of how it works. So I thank you, God, for I'm going to pray this
52:00
prayer over each and every one of you watching. God, give these people wisdom,
52:04
and revelation in the knowledge of you.
52:07
Enlighten their eyes, open up their hearts and help them to see the truth of this word.
52:13
Father, I pray for every person listening or watching, that you would break
52:17
off the curse of poverty over their life, that you would increase them.
52:21
And me too, God, I thank you that you begin to increase me radically and supernaturally
52:27
in Jesus' mighty name. Thank you, Gator Chris.
52:31
Lord, I thank you for everybody watching, that you just bless them.
52:35
If they need healing in their body, God, I thank you that you heal them from
52:38
the top of their head to the soles of their feet. Radical healing comes to them in Jesus' name.
52:43
Thank you so much, Father. Thank you, God.
52:48
Mighty God. There's nobody like you. Thank you for healing and strength.
52:52
Now, God, I ask for divine ideas.
52:55
I ask for supernatural increase.
52:57
I ask that tonight when I do the broadcast, that it's a good broadcast and it blesses people.
53:03
I'm on here daily, y'all. I do try to come on at 830, but I never can seem to make it.
53:08
It's early for me, but I'm supposed to be on at 830 in the morning, Central Time.
53:13
