- WELCOME TO GOSPEL TRUTH
00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:04.240
WITH ANDREW WOMMACK,
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.030
A TEACHING MINISTRY THAT FOCUSES
00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:07.260
ON GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:09.100
> SEE, THIS IS THE ATTITUDE
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:12.020
OF A STEWARD;
00:00:12.020 --> 00:00:13.050
I'M JUST GIVING BACK TO YOU
00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:15.050
A PORTION
00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:16.100
OF WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME.
00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:18.020
WHEN YOU START GIVING
00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:19.090
IT STARTS A SUPERNATURAL FLOW
00:00:19.090 --> 00:00:21.250
TOWARDS YOU OF GOD'S ABILITY.
00:00:21.250 --> 00:00:24.220
GOD WILL BLESS YOU
00:00:24.220 --> 00:00:25.240
MORE THAN YOU DESERVE.
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:26.240
GOD WILL BLESS YOU
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.210
AND MAKE THINGS WORK BETTER
00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:29.020
WELCOME TO OUR WEDNESDAY'S
00:00:33.110 --> 00:00:34.120
BROADCAST OF THE GOSPEL TRUTH.
00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:36.280
I'M NEARING THE END
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.250
OF A FIVE-WEEK SERIES
00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:39.130
THAT I'VE DONE
00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:40.020
ON FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP
00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:42.220
AND I TELL YOU, WE'VE COVERED
00:00:42.220 --> 00:00:43.240
A LOT OF REALLY
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:44.290
IMPORTANT THINGS.
00:00:44.290 --> 00:00:46.000
THIS LAST WEEK I'M TALKING ABOUT
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.190
THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP.
00:00:48.190 --> 00:00:50.240
AND I'VE SPENT
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.130
THE TWO PREVIOUS DAYS THIS WEEK
00:00:51.130 --> 00:00:53.180
TALKING ABOUT THIS
00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:54.290
AND I...I WISHED I COULD GO BACK
00:00:54.290 --> 00:00:56.270
OVER THIS, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE
00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:59.220
DO NOT UNDERSTAND
00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:00.290
HOW PARTNERSHIP BENEFITS YOU.
00:01:00.290 --> 00:01:03.170
IT'S OBVIOUS HOW IT BENEFITS
00:01:03.170 --> 00:01:05.180
WHOEVER YOU'RE GIVING MONEY TO,
00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:07.250
BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:09.040
HOW IT BENEFITS YOU,
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.150
SO THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN
00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:11.080
TALKING ABOUT.
00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:12.140
AND I'VE BEEN DEFINING
00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:13.200
PARTNERSHIP AS WHEN YOU
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.030
GIVE FINANCES TO HELP
00:01:16.030 --> 00:01:17.220
A CHURCH OR A MINISTRY
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:19.120
BEYOND WHAT BENEFIT
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.010
YOU ARE GETTING.
00:01:22.010 --> 00:01:23.200
IN OTHER WORDS,
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.060
YOU ARE HELPING THIS MINISTRY,
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:26.090
THIS CHURCH,
00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:27.200
REACH BEYOND YOU
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.020
TO OTHER PEOPLE.
00:01:29.020 --> 00:01:30.120
AND I'M TAKING THIS
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.280
FROM PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 1,
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.250
VERSE 5, WHERE HE SAYS,
00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:35.210
THAT HE WAS THANKING GOD
00:01:35.210 --> 00:01:36.290
EVERY TIME HE PRAYED
00:01:36.290 --> 00:01:37.270
FOR THEIR FELLOWSHIP
00:01:37.270 --> 00:01:39.050
IN THE GOSPEL.
00:01:39.050 --> 00:01:40.040
AND THAT WORD, FELLOWSHIP, THERE
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:41.170
IS THE GREEK WORD, KOINONIA,
00:01:41.170 --> 00:01:43.200
AND IT LITERALLY MEANS
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.260
PARTNERSHIP.
00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:46.090
AND THEN I FLIPPED OVER
00:01:46.090 --> 00:01:47.280
TO PHILIPPIANS,
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.160
CHAPTER 4, AND IN VERSE 15,
00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:51.040
IT SAYS, NOW YOU PHILIPPIANS
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.090
KNOW ALSO,
00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:52.290
THAT IN THE BEGINNING
00:01:52.290 --> 00:01:53.230
OF THE GOSPEL,
00:01:53.230 --> 00:01:55.040
WHEN I DEPARTED FROM MACEDONIA,
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:56.180
NO CHURCH COMMUNICATED WITH ME
00:01:56.180 --> 00:01:58.170
AS CONCERNING
00:01:58.170 --> 00:01:59.060
GIVING AND RECEIVING,
00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:00.100
BUT YOU ONLY.
00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:01.280
FOR EVEN IN THESSALONICA
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.130
YOU SENT ONCE AND AGAIN
00:02:03.130 --> 00:02:04.200
UNTO MY NECESSITY.
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.090
SO, THESE VERSES VERIFY
00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:08.190
THAT WHEN PAUL WAS WRITING
00:02:08.190 --> 00:02:10.110
TO THE PHILIPPIANS,
00:02:10.110 --> 00:02:11.060
HE WAS WRITING TO A GROUP
00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:12.140
OF PEOPLE
00:02:12.140 --> 00:02:13.210
WHO HELPED HIM FINANCIALLY
00:02:13.210 --> 00:02:15.200
AFTER HE LEFT THEIR LOCAL AREA.
00:02:16.170 --> 00:02:19.170
THEY WEREN'T JUST GIVING
00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:21.060
IN EXCHANGE FOR THE MINISTRY
00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:23.050
HE HAD TO THEM,
00:02:23.050 --> 00:02:24.020
BUT THEY WERE HELPING PAUL
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:25.270
REACH OUT AND MINISTER
00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:27.230
TO OTHER PEOPLE.
00:02:27.230 --> 00:02:29.050
AND I EVEN USED ACTS,
00:02:29.050 --> 00:02:30.210
CHAPTER 28, VERSES 30 AND 31,
00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:35.190
AND IN THOSE PASSAGES
00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:37.010
PAUL WAS IN ROME
00:02:37.010 --> 00:02:38.130
AND HE GAINED FAVOR
00:02:38.130 --> 00:02:40.110
WITH THE PEOPLE
00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:41.060
WHO WERE THE JAILERS
00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:42.050
AND THEY ALLOWED HIM TO STAY
00:02:42.050 --> 00:02:43.270
IN A HOUSE FOR TWO YEARS.
00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:46.050
HE WAS UNDER HOUSE ARREST,
00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:48.020
BUT IT WAS A HIRED HOUSE.
00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:49.100
HE HAD TO PAY FOR
00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:51.030
HIS OWN LODGING FOR TWO YEARS.
00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:53.270
HOW DOES A PRISONER DO THAT?
00:02:53.270 --> 00:02:56.120
IT WAS BECAUSE OF PARTNERS.
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.160
AND AS A MATTER OF FACT,
00:02:58.160 --> 00:02:59.280
THIS BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.180
WAS WRITTEN FROM PRISON...
00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:03.220
I WISHED I HAD TIME
00:03:03.220 --> 00:03:04.100
TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING
00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:05.160
AND TEACH ON THIS,
00:03:05.160 --> 00:03:06.090
BUT ESPECIALLY IN CHAPTER 1,
00:03:06.090 --> 00:03:07.280
YOU CAN SEE THIS.
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:08.250
HE'S TALKING ABOUT
00:03:08.250 --> 00:03:10.060
THAT HE HAD BEEN ABLE TO PREACH
00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:12.010
THE GOSPEL TO EVERYBODY
00:03:12.010 --> 00:03:13.110
IN CAESAR'S HOUSEHOLD
00:03:13.110 --> 00:03:15.140
AND HE WAS IN PRISON
00:03:15.140 --> 00:03:17.030
DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME
00:03:17.030 --> 00:03:18.180
AND THE PHILIPPIANS HAD HEARD
00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:20.010
ABOUT IT.
00:03:20.010 --> 00:03:20.230
OVER HERE IN PHILIPPIANS,
00:03:20.230 --> 00:03:21.200
IT SAYS, BUT I REJOICED
00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:27.020
IN THE LORD GREATLY,
00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:28.110
THAT NOW AT LAST YOUR CARE OF ME
00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:30.190
HATH FLOURISHED AGAIN;
00:03:30.190 --> 00:03:32.100
WHEREIN YOU WERE ALSO CAREFUL,
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:34.030
BUT YOU LACKED OPPORTUNITY.
00:03:34.030 --> 00:03:36.050
THIS IS JUST AN OLD ENGLISH WAY
00:03:36.050 --> 00:03:38.010
OF SAYING THAT THEY
00:03:38.010 --> 00:03:39.160
HAD GIVEN TO HIM AGAIN
00:03:39.160 --> 00:03:41.150
AND HE'S GOING TO MENTION THIS
00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:42.180
HERE IN JUST THE NEXT FEW VERSES
00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:44.200
AND...BUT THEY LACKED
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:45.120
OPPORTUNITY BEFORE.
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.270
YOU GOT TO REMEMBER
00:03:46.270 --> 00:03:47.170
HE WAS ARRESTED AND IN PRISON
00:03:47.170 --> 00:03:50.060
IN JUDAEA FOR TWO YEARS.
00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:51.270
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS
00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:52.210
IN THE BOOK OF ACTS.
00:03:52.210 --> 00:03:54.100
AND FOR TWO YEARS
00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:55.060
HE WAS IN PRISON IN JUDAEA.
00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.220
THEN HE APPEALED UNTO CAESAR
00:03:56.220 --> 00:03:58.150
AND HE WAS IN TRANSIT
00:03:58.150 --> 00:03:59.230
ON HIS WAY TO ROME IN A SHIP.
00:03:59.230 --> 00:04:02.110
THEY RAN INTO A STORM.
00:04:02.110 --> 00:04:03.210
THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED
00:04:03.210 --> 00:04:04.210
ON THE ISLAND OF MELITA
00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:06.120
SO IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A YEAR
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.000
TO GET FROM JUDAEA TO ROME.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.000
AND THEN ACTS, CHAPTER 28,
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.270
VERSES 30 AND 31, SAYS,
00:04:11.270 --> 00:04:14.030
THAT HE STAYED IN A HIRED HOUSE
00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:16.020
FOR TWO YEARS IMPRISONED
00:04:16.020 --> 00:04:18.010
IN ROME.
00:04:18.010 --> 00:04:19.050
SO, THIS WAS A TOTAL
00:04:19.050 --> 00:04:20.240
OF FIVE YEARS.
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.170
BUT ABOUT THREE YEARS OF THAT,
00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:23.230
PAUL HAD BEEN OUT OF CONTACT
00:04:24.020 --> 00:04:27.020
WITH THE PHILIPPIANS.
00:04:27.020 --> 00:04:28.020
AND THEY WANTED TO GIVE TO HIM.
00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:29.250
THEY WERE PARTNERS WITH HIM,
00:04:29.250 --> 00:04:31.100
AND THEY WERE WANTING
00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:32.090
TO SUPPORT HIM,
00:04:32.090 --> 00:04:33.030
SO THAT HE COULD
00:04:33.030 --> 00:04:33.250
TAKE THIS GOSPEL
00:04:33.250 --> 00:04:35.080
THAT HAD CHANGED THEIR LIFE
00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:37.010
AND HE COULD GO OUT AND SHARE IT
00:04:37.010 --> 00:04:38.110
WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:39.180
AND SO, THEY WERE WANTING
00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:40.160
TO GIVE TO HIM,
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:41.030
BUT THEY LACKED OPPORTUNITY.
00:04:41.030 --> 00:04:42.270
YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T HAVE
00:04:42.270 --> 00:04:43.140
CELL PHONES THE WAY WE DO.
00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:44.290
THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE
00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:45.230
A MAIL SERVICE.
00:04:45.230 --> 00:04:47.090
I'M SURE THAT THEY HAD
00:04:47.090 --> 00:04:48.020
SOME KIND OF A COURIER
00:04:48.020 --> 00:04:49.120
AND THINGS LIKE THIS,
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.150
BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE WAYS
00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:52.010
OF COMMUNICATION.
00:04:52.010 --> 00:04:53.130
AND SO THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW
00:04:53.130 --> 00:04:54.190
HOW TO GIVE TO HIM.
00:04:54.190 --> 00:04:56.070
THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GET
00:04:56.070 --> 00:04:57.090
MONEY TO HIM,
00:04:57.090 --> 00:04:58.000
BUT WHEN THEY HEARD
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:58.220
THAT HE WAS IN ROME,
00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:00.110
THAT HE WAS IN HIS OWN
00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:01.090
HIRED HOUSE,
00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:02.060
THEY SENT TO HIM AND HELPED HIM.
00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:05.040
AND IT DOESN'T SAY SPECIFICALLY
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.290
WHAT THEY GAVE HIM,
00:05:06.290 --> 00:05:07.210
BUT, AGAIN, HOW DOES A PRISONER
00:05:07.210 --> 00:05:10.000
PAY FOR HIS LODGING
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.070
FOR TWO YEARS?
00:05:12.070 --> 00:05:13.250
IT'S BECAUSE SOMEBODY
00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:14.220
IS HELPING HIM.
00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:15.290
AND I BELIEVE
00:05:15.290 --> 00:05:16.120
THAT THESE PHILIPPIANS
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.120
HE SAID THAT THEY WERE
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.050
THE ONLY PEOPLE
00:05:18.050 --> 00:05:19.040
THAT EVER SUPPORTED HIM.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:20.100
THESE PHILIPPIANS WERE RABID,
00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:23.140
COMMITTED, FANATICAL GIVERS.
00:05:23.140 --> 00:05:26.130
BEYOND WHAT IT COST FOR THEM
00:05:26.130 --> 00:05:28.140
TO RECEIVE THE GOSPEL
00:05:28.140 --> 00:05:29.240
THEY WERE HELPING
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.150
THE APOSTLE PAUL.
00:05:30.150 --> 00:05:33.060
MAN, THEY SENT MONEY TO HIM.
00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:34.200
THEY SENT THINGS TO HIM,
00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:35.220
SO, THIS IS WHAT
00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:36.030
HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:05:36.030 --> 00:05:36.290
HE REJOICED GREATLY,
00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:38.220
THAT NOW AT LAST YOUR CARE OF ME
00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:40.180
HATH FLOURISHED AGAIN;
00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:41.210
WHEREIN YOU WERE ALSO CAREFUL,
00:05:41.210 --> 00:05:43.230
OR IN OTHER WORDS,
00:05:43.230 --> 00:05:44.060
YOU DESIRED TO DO IT
00:05:44.060 --> 00:05:45.230
BUT YOU LACKED OPPORTUNITY.
00:05:45.230 --> 00:05:47.040
NOT THAT I SPEAK IN RESPECT
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:48.170
OF WANT: FOR I HAVE LEARNED,
00:05:48.170 --> 00:05:49.250
IN WHATSOEVER STATE I AM,
00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:52.110
THEREWITH TO BE CONTENT.
00:05:52.110 --> 00:05:54.190
I KNOW BOTH HOW TO BE ABASED,
00:05:54.260 --> 00:05:57.260
AND I KNOW HOW TO ABOUND:
00:05:57.260 --> 00:05:59.090
EVERY WHERE AND IN ALL THINGS
00:05:59.090 --> 00:06:00.220
I AM INSTRUCTED BOTH TO BE FULL
00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:03.040
AND TO BE HUNGRY,
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.130
BOTH TO ABOUND
00:06:04.130 --> 00:06:05.230
AND TO SUFFER NEED.
00:06:05.230 --> 00:06:06.270
I CAN DO ALL THINGS
00:06:06.270 --> 00:06:08.170
THROUGH CHRIST
00:06:08.170 --> 00:06:09.080
WHICH STRENGTHENETH ME.
00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:10.260
AND SO, PAUL HERE IS SAYING
00:06:10.260 --> 00:06:12.070
THAT THE REASON HE'S REJOICING
00:06:12.070 --> 00:06:13.270
ISN'T JUST BECAUSE
00:06:13.270 --> 00:06:15.020
HE GOT SOMETHING PHYSICALLY.
00:06:15.020 --> 00:06:16.220
IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF SOMETHING
00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:18.020
SELFISH.
00:06:18.020 --> 00:06:19.150
PAUL HAD GONE WAY BEYOND
00:06:19.150 --> 00:06:21.170
LIVING FOR HIMSELF
00:06:21.170 --> 00:06:22.240
AND JUST FOR THE BENEFIT
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.040
THAT HE COULD DERIVE BY...
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.060
FROM DOING THINGS.
00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:27.020
HE LIVED TO BE A BLESSING
00:06:27.020 --> 00:06:28.170
TO OTHER PEOPLE
00:06:28.170 --> 00:06:29.150
TO TAKE THE GOSPEL.
00:06:29.150 --> 00:06:30.100
HE PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE.
00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:32.100
HE WAS IN PRISON FOR FIVE YEARS
00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:34.100
THAT WE KNOW OF
00:06:34.100 --> 00:06:35.240
IN THESE ACCOUNTS.
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.270
HE WAS IN PRISON
00:06:37.270 --> 00:06:38.200
NOT FOR HIS SAKE,
00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:39.260
BUT BECAUSE HE WAS PUTTING
00:06:39.260 --> 00:06:40.260
HIS LIFE ON THE LINE.
00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:42.000
PAUL WASN'T...WASN'T EXCITED
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.210
ABOUT THEM SENDING MONEY
00:06:44.210 --> 00:06:46.100
AND SENDING THINGS TO HIM
00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:47.220
BECAUSE OF THE BENEFIT IT WAS
00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:49.090
TO HIM.
00:06:49.090 --> 00:06:49.230
HE WAS SO EXCITED FOR THEM.
00:06:49.230 --> 00:06:52.030
LET ME JUST CONTINUE READING
00:06:52.030 --> 00:06:53.080
IN VERSE 14, HE SAYS,
00:06:53.080 --> 00:06:54.150
NOTWITHSTANDING YOU HAVE
00:06:54.150 --> 00:06:55.140
WELL DONE,
00:06:55.140 --> 00:06:56.030
THAT YOU DID COMMUNICATE
00:06:56.030 --> 00:06:57.050
WITH MY AFFLICTION.
00:06:57.050 --> 00:06:58.210
NOW YOU PHILIPPIANS KNOW ALSO,
00:06:58.210 --> 00:07:00.090
THAT IN THE BEGINNING
00:07:00.090 --> 00:07:01.030
OF THE GOSPEL,
00:07:01.030 --> 00:07:02.180
WHEN I DEPARTED FROM MACEDONIA,
00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:04.060
NO CHURCH COMMUNICATED WITH ME
00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:06.130
AS CONCERNING GIVING
00:07:06.130 --> 00:07:07.180
AND RECEIVING, BUT YOU ONLY.
00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:09.250
FOR EVEN IN THESSALONICA
00:07:09.250 --> 00:07:11.090
YOU SENT ONCE AND AGAIN.
00:07:11.090 --> 00:07:13.040
THAT'S OLD ENGLISH
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.000
FOR YOU SENT TWICE
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.230
UNTO MY NECESSITY.
00:07:15.230 --> 00:07:17.150
NOT BECAUSE I DESIRE A GIFT:
00:07:17.150 --> 00:07:20.050
BUT I DESIRE FRUIT THAT MAY
00:07:20.050 --> 00:07:22.060
ABOUND TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:24.140
YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN AMAZING
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:25.200
STATEMENT.
00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:26.160
PAUL IS SAYING THE REASON
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:27.160
HE IS REJOICING IS NOT BECAUSE
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.150
OF THE BENEFIT TO HIM,
00:07:29.150 --> 00:07:31.050
BUT HE KNEW THAT WHEN PEOPLE
00:07:31.050 --> 00:07:33.170
GAVE TO HIM,
00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:34.180
WHEN PEOPLE BECAME PARTNERS
00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:36.140
WITH HIM
00:07:36.140 --> 00:07:37.270
THAT IT BENEFITED THEM.
00:07:37.270 --> 00:07:40.070
AND AGAIN,
00:07:40.070 --> 00:07:40.170
I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE,
00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:41.180
BUT MOST PEOPLE CAN SEE
00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.120
THE BENEFIT TO A CHURCH
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.160
OR TO A MINISTRY WHEN YOU GIVE,
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.170
AND YOU KNOW THAT IT HELPS THEM.
00:07:47.170 --> 00:07:49.280
BUT MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:51.100
HOW IT BLESSES YOU,
00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:52.180
BUT IT...IT ABOUNDS
00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:54.140
TO YOUR HEAVENLY ACCOUNT.
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.240
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW
00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.180
IF THIS IS JUST
00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:00.130
A SYMBOL...SYMBOLIC THING
00:08:00.130 --> 00:08:02.070
OR IF IT IS LITERAL.
00:08:02.070 --> 00:08:04.030
I DON'T KNOW,
00:08:04.030 --> 00:08:04.210
BUT PAUL TALKED ABOUT THIS
00:08:04.210 --> 00:08:06.110
ABOUNDING TO THEIR ACCOUNT.
00:08:06.110 --> 00:08:09.090
I BELIEVE THAT IN HEAVEN
00:08:09.090 --> 00:08:10.050
WHETHER IT'S FACTUAL
00:08:10.050 --> 00:08:11.210
OR WHETHER IT'S SYMBOLIC
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:13.070
THAT THERE ARE RECORDS
00:08:13.070 --> 00:08:15.200
BEING KEPT.
00:08:15.200 --> 00:08:16.180
AND WHEN YOU GIVE BEYOND
00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:18.230
YOURSELF,
00:08:18.230 --> 00:08:20.130
IN...NOT JUST IN EXCHANGE
00:08:20.130 --> 00:08:22.010
FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU GET.
00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:23.120
BUT WHEN YOU GIVE BEYOND
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.250
YOURSELF, PARTNERSHIPS,
00:08:24.250 --> 00:08:26.190
UNSELFISHLY,
00:08:26.190 --> 00:08:28.090
AND YOU'RE HELPING
00:08:28.090 --> 00:08:28.270
GET THE GOSPEL OUT,
00:08:28.270 --> 00:08:30.090
IT'S WRITTEN DOWN.
00:08:30.090 --> 00:08:31.250
YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT.
00:08:31.260 --> 00:08:34.260
YOU KNOW, I'VE OFTEN SAID IT
00:08:34.260 --> 00:08:35.280
THIS WAY.
00:08:35.280 --> 00:08:37.010
THAT WHEN IT COMES TO
00:08:37.010 --> 00:08:37.260
OUR MINISTRY
00:08:37.260 --> 00:08:39.170
THAT I GO TO OUR PEOPLE
00:08:39.170 --> 00:08:41.130
AND I TELL THEM
00:08:41.130 --> 00:08:42.090
THAT WE'RE BUILDING BUILDINGS
00:08:42.090 --> 00:08:43.220
AND WE'VE GOT THIS PROJECT GOING
00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:45.190
AND THINGS LIKE THIS
00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:47.100
AND THAT, YOU KNOW,
00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:49.000
THERE'S TIMES THAT I ASK FOR
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.250
PEOPLE TO COME AND HELP ME
00:08:50.250 --> 00:08:52.190
FINANCIALLY.
00:08:52.190 --> 00:08:53.140
IT TAKES A LOT OF MONEY
00:08:53.140 --> 00:08:55.030
TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING.
00:08:55.030 --> 00:08:56.190
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL,
00:08:56.190 --> 00:08:58.070
AND I'VE OFTEN TOLD MY STAFF,
00:08:58.070 --> 00:09:00.120
I SAID, YOU CAN ONLY ASK
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.150
SO MANY TIMES.
00:09:02.150 --> 00:09:03.290
YOU CAN ONLY GO TO THAT WELL
00:09:03.290 --> 00:09:05.210
SO MANY TIMES
00:09:05.210 --> 00:09:06.160
BEFORE IT RUNS DRY.
00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:08.020
AND I'VE EVEN USED THIS EXAMPLE.
00:09:08.020 --> 00:09:09.170
I SAID, IT'S LIKE
00:09:09.170 --> 00:09:10.030
A BANK ACCOUNT.
00:09:10.030 --> 00:09:11.200
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DEPOSIT
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.260
IN THERE BEFORE YOU CAN GO
00:09:13.260 --> 00:09:15.100
AND MAKE A WITHDRAWAL.
00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:17.190
AND IF YOU EVER TRY AND WITHDRAW
00:09:17.190 --> 00:09:20.120
MORE THAN YOU PUT IN,
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.170
WELL THEN YOU'RE GOING TO
00:09:22.170 --> 00:09:23.030
HAVE AT A DEFICIT
00:09:23.030 --> 00:09:24.190
AND YOU'LL EITHER PAY A PENALTY
00:09:24.190 --> 00:09:26.070
OR THEY'LL CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT
00:09:26.070 --> 00:09:27.140
OR WHATEVER.
00:09:27.140 --> 00:09:28.100
WELL IT'S THE SAME THING
00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.050
WITH PEOPLE.
00:09:29.050 --> 00:09:30.130
IF YOU ARE ASKING AND WANTING
00:09:30.130 --> 00:09:33.010
TO RECEIVE MORE FROM THEM
00:09:33.010 --> 00:09:35.070
THAN WHAT YOU HAVE DEPOSITED
00:09:35.070 --> 00:09:36.280
IN THEM,
00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:37.260
YOU'RE GOING TO HIT
00:09:37.260 --> 00:09:38.100
THIS TIPPING POINT
00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:39.270
TO WHERE PEOPLE
00:09:39.270 --> 00:09:40.150
WILL TURN YOU OFF
00:09:40.150 --> 00:09:41.210
AND IT WON'T RESPOND.
00:09:41.210 --> 00:09:42.200
AND SO, WE ARE VERY CAUTIOUS
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.280
ABOUT THE WAY
00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:47.080
THAT WE PRESENT OUR NEEDS.
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:48.110
AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU
00:09:48.110 --> 00:09:49.110
I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE
00:09:49.110 --> 00:09:50.200
MAY DISAGREE WITH THIS
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.010
BUT IT'S JUST THE TRUTH.
00:09:52.010 --> 00:09:53.240
BUT THERE'S...THERE'S GREATER
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.020
NEED IN OUR MINISTRY
00:09:56.020 --> 00:09:58.130
THAN WHAT I EVER PRESENT
00:09:58.130 --> 00:10:00.110
TO PEOPLE.
00:10:00.110 --> 00:10:01.060
I'M HESITANT ABOUT DOING IT,
00:10:01.060 --> 00:10:03.080
AND SO, ANYWAY, MY POINT IS
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.110
THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE MONEY
00:10:05.110 --> 00:10:07.020
IN THE BANK BEFORE YOU CAN
00:10:07.020 --> 00:10:08.140
MAKE A WITHDRAWAL.
00:10:08.140 --> 00:10:09.230
YOU HAVE TO MINISTER TO PEOPLE
00:10:09.230 --> 00:10:11.190
AND HAVE DEPOSITED THINGS
00:10:11.190 --> 00:10:13.080
IN THEIR LIFE
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.070
BEFORE YOU SHOULD EXPECT
00:10:14.070 --> 00:10:16.020
TO RECEIVE SOMETHING BACK.
00:10:16.020 --> 00:10:17.230
SO, IN A SENSE, IT'S LIKE
00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:18.270
YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT.
00:10:18.270 --> 00:10:20.200
IF YOU HAVEN'T PUT ANYTHING
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.020
IN THAT ACCOUNT,
00:10:22.020 --> 00:10:23.110
WELL THEN YOU CAN'T MAKE
00:10:23.110 --> 00:10:24.100
A WITHDRAWAL.
00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.140
AND PAUL HERE IS SAYING,
00:10:25.140 --> 00:10:26.160
THE REASON HE IS REJOICING
00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:28.080
IS BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUNDING
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:29.250
TO THEIR ACCOUNT.
00:10:29.250 --> 00:10:31.270
IT'S LIKE YOU ARE MAKING
00:10:31.270 --> 00:10:33.020
A DEPOSIT IN HEAVEN,
00:10:33.020 --> 00:10:35.020
AND THEREFORE WHEN YOU HAVE
00:10:35.020 --> 00:10:36.280
A NEED,
00:10:36.280 --> 00:10:37.240
IT'S GOING TO COME BACK
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.210
UNTO YOU.
00:10:38.210 --> 00:10:39.120
YOU'VE GIVEN,
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.020
NOW IT WILL COME BACK UNTO YOU,
00:10:40.020 --> 00:10:41.260
GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN,
00:10:41.260 --> 00:10:43.070
SHAKEN TOGETHER,
00:10:43.070 --> 00:10:44.060
AND RUNNING OVER,
00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:45.030
SHALL MEN GIVE INTO YOUR BOSOM.
00:10:45.030 --> 00:10:47.220
IT'LL COME BACK TO YOU
00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:48.190
ONE HUNDREDFOLD IS WHAT
00:10:48.190 --> 00:10:49.270
THE LORD TOLD HIS DISCIPLES
00:10:49.270 --> 00:10:52.100
IN MARK, CHAPTER 10,
00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:53.180
YOU'LL RECEIVE A HUNDREDFOLD
00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:54.260
IN THIS LIFE WITH PERSECUTION;
00:10:54.260 --> 00:10:57.010
AND IN THE WORLD TO COME
00:10:57.010 --> 00:10:58.010
EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:10:58.010 --> 00:10:59.200
WHEN YOU GIVE, AND AGAIN,
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.000
I AM DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.030
JUST GIVING OCCASIONALLY,
00:11:03.050 --> 00:11:06.050
GIVING IN EXCHANGE FOR SOMETHING
00:11:06.050 --> 00:11:08.140
THAT YOU GET BACK.
00:11:08.140 --> 00:11:10.020
BUT WHEN YOU GIVE AS A PARTNER,
00:11:10.020 --> 00:11:12.160
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS WRITTEN TO.
00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:13.260
WHEN YOU GIVE IN PARTNERSHIP
00:11:13.260 --> 00:11:15.200
BEYOND YOURSELF TO HELP
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.150
THAT CHURCH OR THAT MINISTRY
00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:21.110
REACH OTHER PEOPLE,
00:11:21.110 --> 00:11:23.110
WELL THEN THAT JUST MAKES
00:11:23.110 --> 00:11:25.140
AN ACCOUNT
00:11:25.140 --> 00:11:26.250
THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE
00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:28.000
TO GO AND WITHDRAW.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.040
WHEN YOU HAVE A PERSONAL NEED,
00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:30.250
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE
00:11:30.250 --> 00:11:31.280
A WITHDRAWAL BECAUSE
00:11:31.280 --> 00:11:33.040
YOU'VE GOT AN ACCOUNT.
00:11:33.040 --> 00:11:35.160
SO THIS IS WHAT HE'S SAYING.
00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:36.110
THE REASON HE'S REJOICING
00:11:36.110 --> 00:11:37.180
IS NOT BECAUSE OF HIM
00:11:37.180 --> 00:11:39.190
DESIRING A GIFT,
00:11:39.190 --> 00:11:40.140
BUT I DESIRE FRUIT THAT MAY
00:11:40.140 --> 00:11:42.200
ABOUND TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.100
IN VERSE 18, HE SAYS,
00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:45.120
BUT I HAVE ALL, AND ABOUND:
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.080
I AM FULL, HAVING RECEIVED
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.150
OF EPAPHRODITUS THE THINGS
00:11:49.150 --> 00:11:51.290
WHICH WERE SENT FROM YOU,
00:11:51.290 --> 00:11:53.020
AN ODOUR OF A SWEET SMELL,
00:11:53.020 --> 00:11:54.150
A SACRIFICE ACCEPTABLE,
00:11:54.150 --> 00:11:56.010
WELLPLEASING TO GOD.
00:11:56.010 --> 00:11:57.280
BUT MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY
00:11:57.280 --> 00:12:00.030
ALL YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO
00:12:00.030 --> 00:12:02.050
HIS RICHES IN GLORY
00:12:02.050 --> 00:12:03.230
BY CHRIST JESUS.
00:12:03.230 --> 00:12:05.140
THIS IS ANOTHER VERSE THAT WE
00:12:05.140 --> 00:12:06.210
JUST TAKE OUT OF CONTEXT OFTEN
00:12:06.210 --> 00:12:08.140
AND WE TELL PEOPLE
00:12:08.140 --> 00:12:09.080
THAT MY GOD IS GOING TO SUPPLY
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.260
ALL OF YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO
00:12:10.260 --> 00:12:12.040
HIS RICHES IN GLORY
00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:13.050
BY CHRIST JESUS,
00:12:13.050 --> 00:12:14.220
AND WE APPLY THAT TO ANYBODY.
00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:16.230
DID YOU KNOW, IN CONTEXT,
00:12:16.230 --> 00:12:18.040
THIS IS WRITTEN TO PEOPLE
00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:20.260
WHO WERE PARTNERS,
00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:22.070
PEOPLE WHO HAD SOUGHT HIM OUT.
00:12:22.070 --> 00:12:23.260
IT WASN'T CONVENIENT TO SUPPORT
00:12:23.260 --> 00:12:26.090
THE APOSTLE PAUL.
00:12:26.090 --> 00:12:27.040
HE HAD BEEN IN PRISON.
00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:28.060
HE HAD BEEN SHIPWRECKED.
00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:29.210
IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT.
00:12:29.210 --> 00:12:31.200
THEY COULDN'T JUST GO TO
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.050
GOOGLE HIM AND FIND OUT
00:12:33.050 --> 00:12:34.050
WHERE HE WAS.
00:12:34.050 --> 00:12:34.290
THEY COULDN'T CALL HIM
00:12:34.290 --> 00:12:35.270
ON A CELL PHONE.
00:12:35.270 --> 00:12:37.050
THEY COULDN'T SEND A LETTER
00:12:37.050 --> 00:12:38.120
TO HIM.
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.030
MAN, THEY...IT TOOK MONTHS
00:12:39.030 --> 00:12:41.040
FOR SOMEBODY TO FIND HIM
00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:42.180
AND THEN GET THE WORD BACK
00:12:42.180 --> 00:12:43.260
TO THE PHILIPPIANS.
00:12:43.260 --> 00:12:44.240
THESE PEOPLE WERE COMMITTED
00:12:45.020 --> 00:12:48.020
TO GIVING TO THE APOSTLE PAUL.
00:12:48.020 --> 00:12:49.200
THEY HAD TO SEARCH FOR HIM.
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.270
AND FOR PEOPLE LIKE THAT,
00:12:51.270 --> 00:12:54.100
GOD IS GOING TO SUPPLY
00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:56.120
ALL OF THEIR NEEDS,
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.130
BECAUSE, MAN, THEY ARE
00:12:57.130 --> 00:12:58.090
WAY BEYOND THEMSELF.
00:12:58.090 --> 00:13:00.190
THEY ARE LIVING TO GIVE.
00:13:00.190 --> 00:13:02.020
THEY AREN'T GIVING TO LIVE.
00:13:02.020 --> 00:13:04.230
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
00:13:04.230 --> 00:13:05.280
GIVING TO LIVE
00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:08.010
AND LIVING TO GIVE,
00:13:08.010 --> 00:13:09.160
LIVING WITH GIVING SO THAT YOU
00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:11.190
CAN BE A BLESSING
00:13:11.190 --> 00:13:12.130
TO OTHER PEOPLE.
00:13:12.130 --> 00:13:13.050
WHEN YOU GET INTO THAT REALM,
00:13:13.050 --> 00:13:15.130
WHEN YOU QUIT BEING SELFISH
00:13:15.130 --> 00:13:17.010
AND YOU PUT FIRST
00:13:17.010 --> 00:13:18.070
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:19.250
AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:13:19.250 --> 00:13:21.050
THEN MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY
00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:24.100
ALL OF YOUR NEED.
00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.230
NOW, AGAIN, IS THIS SAYING
00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:26.200
THAT GOD ONLY WANTS
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:27.290
TO BLESS THOSE
00:13:27.290 --> 00:13:28.270
WHO ARE LIVING AS PARTNERS
00:13:28.270 --> 00:13:30.240
AND GIVING BEYOND THEMSELF?
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.290
NO, GOD WANTS TO BLESS
00:13:31.290 --> 00:13:33.020
EVERYBODY,
00:13:33.020 --> 00:13:35.090
BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCESS
00:13:35.090 --> 00:13:37.100
THE GRACE OF GOD BY FAITH.
00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:39.180
ROMANS, CHAPTER 5, VERSE 2, SAYS
00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:41.130
WE HAVE ACCESS INTO THIS GRACE
00:13:41.270 --> 00:13:44.270
BY FAITH.
00:13:44.270 --> 00:13:46.010
YOU ACCESS GOD'S GRACE.
00:13:46.010 --> 00:13:47.230
GRACE IS UNMERITED, UNEARNED,
00:13:47.230 --> 00:13:50.080
UNDESERVED FAVOR
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.260
AND GRACE HAS NOTHING
00:13:51.260 --> 00:13:53.090
TO DO WITH YOU
00:13:53.090 --> 00:13:54.040
OR IT WOULDN'T BE UNEARNED
00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:55.270
AND UNDESERVED.
00:13:55.270 --> 00:13:57.150
SO GRACE IS WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO
00:13:57.150 --> 00:14:00.120
BUT YOU ACCESS GRACE
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.270
THROUGH FAITH.
00:14:02.270 --> 00:14:04.060
IT SAYS, IN EPHESIANS,
00:14:04.060 --> 00:14:05.110
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 8, IT SAYS,
00:14:05.110 --> 00:14:07.170
FOR BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED
00:14:07.170 --> 00:14:09.040
THROUGH FAITH;
00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:10.180
AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES.
00:14:10.180 --> 00:14:12.200
YOU...IT'S NOT JUST GRACE ALONE.
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:14.260
IT'S NOT JUST GOD ALONE.
00:14:14.260 --> 00:14:16.090
IF IT WAS GOD ALONE,
00:14:16.090 --> 00:14:17.220
WELL THEN EVERY PERSON
00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:18.250
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
00:14:18.250 --> 00:14:19.260
WOULD BE COMPLETELY PROSPEROUS,
00:14:19.260 --> 00:14:22.040
COMPLETELY HEALTHY.
00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:23.110
YOU WOULD ALL BE SAVED.
00:14:23.110 --> 00:14:24.170
YOU WOULD ALL BE BAPTIZED
00:14:24.170 --> 00:14:25.290
IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:14:25.290 --> 00:14:27.130
YOU WOULD HAVE
00:14:27.130 --> 00:14:27.270
GREAT RELATIONSHIPS.
00:14:27.270 --> 00:14:29.060
IT WOULD BE HEAVEN ON EARTH
00:14:29.060 --> 00:14:31.000
IF IT WAS GRACE ALONE.
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.260
BUT YOU HAVE TO SAY...
00:14:32.260 --> 00:14:34.090
YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE.
00:14:34.090 --> 00:14:35.200
THAT'S GOD'S PART;
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:36.230
UNEARNED, UNCONDITIONAL,
00:14:36.230 --> 00:14:38.250
AND THEN FAITH
00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:39.260
IS YOUR POSITIVE RESPONSE
00:14:39.260 --> 00:14:41.200
TO WHAT GOD HAS DONE.
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.160
AND UNTIL YOU COOPERATE WITH GOD
00:14:44.010 --> 00:14:47.010
THROUGH FAITH,
00:14:47.010 --> 00:14:48.030
YOU AREN'T GOING TO SEE
00:14:48.030 --> 00:14:48.290
GOD'S BEST COME TO PASS.
00:14:48.290 --> 00:14:50.200
SO, TO SAY THAT JUST
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.230
GOD IS GOING TO SUPPLY
00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:52.220
EVERYBODY'S NEED ACCORDING TO
00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:54.080
HIS RICHES IN GLORY...
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.150
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
00:14:55.150 --> 00:14:56.090
THIS WAS WRITTEN TO PARTNERS.
00:14:56.090 --> 00:14:58.190
IF YOU CAY...TAKE IT IN CONTEXT,
00:14:58.190 --> 00:15:00.070
THESE WERE PEOPLE
00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:01.050
WHO HAD GONE BEYOND THEMSELF.
00:15:01.050 --> 00:15:02.240
THEY WERE PUTTING FIRST
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.040
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:05.160
THEY HAD MOVED BEYOND
00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:07.050
JUST THIS SELFISH LIFE.
00:15:07.130 --> 00:15:10.130
I TELL YOU, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
00:15:10.130 --> 00:15:11.200
WHAT I'M SAYING.
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.050
SELFISHNESS, FOCUS ON YOURSELF,
00:15:13.050 --> 00:15:15.070
LOVING YOURSELF,
00:15:15.070 --> 00:15:16.070
EXALTING YOURSELF ABOVE ANYTHING
00:15:16.070 --> 00:15:18.180
AND EVERYTHING ELSE,
00:15:18.180 --> 00:15:20.110
IS SATAN'S BIGGEST INROAD
00:15:20.110 --> 00:15:22.000
INTO YOUR LIFE.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.130
AND SAD TO SAY, THIS IS WHERE
00:15:23.130 --> 00:15:24.200
SO MANY PEOPLE LIVE.
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.230
HOW DO YOU OVERCOME
00:15:26.230 --> 00:15:27.230
THIS SELFISHNESS?
00:15:27.230 --> 00:15:30.020
WELL, SOME PEOPLE SAY,
00:15:30.020 --> 00:15:30.160
WELL IS EVERYBODY SELFISH?
00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:31.270
WELL, WHEN YOU WERE BORN
00:15:31.270 --> 00:15:33.080
YOU WERE 100% SELFISH.
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.250
YOU DIDN'T KNOW
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:36.110
THAT ANYBODY ELSE EXISTED.
00:15:36.110 --> 00:15:38.010
YOU DIDN'T CARE IF YOUR MOTHER
00:15:38.010 --> 00:15:39.010
HAD BEEN UP ALL NIGHT LONG
00:15:39.010 --> 00:15:40.150
IN LABOR GIVING BIRTH TO YOU.
00:15:40.150 --> 00:15:42.030
YOU WOULD WAKE ANYBODY UP.
00:15:42.030 --> 00:15:43.170
YOU...IT WAS ALL ABOUT YOU.
00:15:43.170 --> 00:15:45.230
WHEN YOU COME INTO THIS WORLD,
00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:47.040
YOU'RE 100% SELFISH.
00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:49.080
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:49.240
THAT'S NOT WRONG
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.070
FOR A LITTLE BABY,
00:15:51.070 --> 00:15:52.150
BUT WHEN YOU'RE
00:15:52.150 --> 00:15:53.020
30, 40, 50, 60, 70 YEARS OLD
00:15:53.020 --> 00:15:55.260
AND IT'S STILL ALL ABOUT YOU
00:15:55.260 --> 00:15:57.130
AND YOU'RE JUST THROWING
00:15:57.130 --> 00:15:58.080
AN ADULT TEMPER TANTRUM,
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.120
I'M TELLING YOU,
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.280
THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM.
00:16:00.280 --> 00:16:03.010
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT?
00:16:03.010 --> 00:16:04.150
WELL THERE'S MULTIPLE THINGS.
00:16:04.150 --> 00:16:06.070
BUT I'M TELLING YOU
00:16:06.070 --> 00:16:06.230
MONEY WILL REALLY REVEAL
00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:10.250
YOUR SELFISHNESS.
00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:11.230
AND IF YOU USE MONEY CORRECTLY
00:16:11.230 --> 00:16:14.010
AND PUT FIRST
00:16:14.010 --> 00:16:15.000
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.150
AND IF YOU BECOME A PARTNER
00:16:16.150 --> 00:16:17.210
WHERE IT'S BEYOND
00:16:17.210 --> 00:16:18.210
JUST YOUR NEED,
00:16:18.210 --> 00:16:19.280
YOU ARE GIVING REGULARLY,
00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:21.190
SYSTEMATICALLY BEYOND YOURSELF
00:16:21.190 --> 00:16:24.110
TO HELP THAT CHURCH OR MINISTRY
00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:26.110
REACH OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE,
00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:27.250
THAT DOES SOMETHING TO YOURSELF.
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.000
IT'S...IT DOES SOMETHING.
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:32.170
YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID,
00:16:32.170 --> 00:16:33.180
THAT IT'S MORE BLESSED TO GIVE
00:16:33.180 --> 00:16:35.240
THAN IT IS TO RECEIVE.
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.210
AND WHEN YOU START GIVING
00:16:37.210 --> 00:16:39.110
NOT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE...
00:16:39.110 --> 00:16:41.150
AND AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING
00:16:41.150 --> 00:16:42.120
THAT THAT'S WRONG.
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:43.190
IT SAYS, THOSE WHO PREACH
00:16:43.190 --> 00:16:45.090
THE GOSPEL
00:16:45.090 --> 00:16:46.010
SHOULD LIVE OF THE GOSPEL.
00:16:46.010 --> 00:16:47.060
IF SOMEBODY SOWS TO YOU
00:16:47.060 --> 00:16:48.090
SPIRITUAL THINGS,
00:16:48.090 --> 00:16:49.060
THEY SHOULD REAP BACK
00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:50.010
YOUR CARNAL THINGS.
00:16:50.010 --> 00:16:50.250
I AGREE WITH THAT.
00:16:50.250 --> 00:16:52.010
BUT I'M SAYING THAT
00:16:52.010 --> 00:16:53.210
THAT IS ONE LEVEL OF GIVING.
00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:55.250
IT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEVEL
00:16:55.250 --> 00:16:57.260
OF GIVING WHEN YOU START GIVING
00:16:57.260 --> 00:16:59.220
AND YOU AREN'T GETTING ANYTHING,
00:16:59.220 --> 00:17:01.230
IN THE NATURAL, IN RETURN.
00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:03.290
YOU ARE GIVING ONLY
00:17:03.290 --> 00:17:05.060
TO BE A BLESSING,
00:17:05.060 --> 00:17:06.110
TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE
00:17:06.110 --> 00:17:07.280
RECEIVE THE GOSPEL.
00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:09.090
SEE, THIS IS WHAT PAUL
00:17:09.090 --> 00:17:10.070
IS TALKING ABOUT
00:17:10.070 --> 00:17:11.100
AND HE WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE
00:17:11.100 --> 00:17:12.160
WHO WERE GIVING LIKE THAT,
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.240
WHO HAD SOUGHT HIM OUT,
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.060
WHO HAD SPENT YEARS
00:17:15.060 --> 00:17:16.190
LOOKING FOR HIM AND INQUIRING
00:17:16.190 --> 00:17:19.030
WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
00:17:19.030 --> 00:17:19.240
AND WHEN THEY FINALLY FOUND
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.000
THAT HE HAD GONE TO ROME,
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.080
THEY EVEN RENTED A HOUSE FOR HIM
00:17:22.080 --> 00:17:24.140
SO THAT HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO LIVE
00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:25.200
IN THE PRISON WITH ALL OF
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.080
THE REST OF THE PERVERTS
00:17:27.080 --> 00:17:28.180
THAT WERE THERE
00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.100
AND WHO KNOWS THE TERRIBLE
00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:30.210
CONDITIONS THAT THEY EXISTED IN.
00:17:30.210 --> 00:17:32.280
THEY RENTED HIM A HOUSE
00:17:32.280 --> 00:17:34.120
AND FOR TWO YEARS PAID HIS RENT,
00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:37.090
ACTS, CHAPTER 28,
00:17:37.090 --> 00:17:38.140
VERSES 30 AND 31.
00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:40.200
THESE PEOPLE WERE GIVERS,
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.020
AND TO THEM,
00:17:42.020 --> 00:17:44.080
GOD SAID, HE WOULD SUPPLY
00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:46.280
ALL OF THEIR NEED
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:48.000
ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:48.270
IN GLORY.
00:17:48.270 --> 00:17:50.150
THAT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT
00:17:50.150 --> 00:17:51.230
THAN JUST APPLYING THIS
00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:52.260
TO ANYBODY AND TO EVERYBODY.
00:17:52.260 --> 00:17:54.250
YOU CAN SAY GOD WANTS
00:17:54.250 --> 00:17:55.250
TO BLESS EVERYBODY,
00:17:55.250 --> 00:17:56.260
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:17:56.260 --> 00:17:58.070
YOU KNOW YOU COULD LOOK AROUND.
00:17:58.070 --> 00:18:00.150
I BET YOU THERE'S PEOPLE
00:18:00.150 --> 00:18:01.130
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM RIGHT NOW
00:18:01.130 --> 00:18:03.200
THAT YOU ARE BORN AGAIN,
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.140
YOU LOVE GOD,
00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.060
YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE
00:18:07.060 --> 00:18:09.240
THAT IF YOU WERE TO DIE,
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.050
YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN.
00:18:11.050 --> 00:18:12.100
YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
00:18:12.100 --> 00:18:13.210
WITH GOD,
00:18:13.210 --> 00:18:14.080
AND YOU KNOW IT.
00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:15.210
AND YET, THERE ARE PEOPLE
00:18:15.210 --> 00:18:16.190
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
00:18:16.190 --> 00:18:17.180
WHO HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP
00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:19.190
AND YOU AREN'T PROSPERING,
00:18:19.190 --> 00:18:21.030
AND GOD IS NOT SUPPLYING
00:18:21.030 --> 00:18:22.120
ALL OF YOUR NEED,
00:18:22.120 --> 00:18:23.250
AND YOU'RE STRUGGLING,
00:18:23.250 --> 00:18:25.130
AND THINGS AREN'T WORKING OUT
00:18:25.130 --> 00:18:26.220
FOR YOU.
00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:28.130
THERE'S...THERE'S PROBABLY
00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:29.280
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
00:18:29.280 --> 00:18:31.210
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM WHO...
00:18:31.210 --> 00:18:34.110
PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 4,
00:18:34.110 --> 00:18:35.100
VERSE 19, ISN'T WORKING FOR YOU.
00:18:35.150 --> 00:18:38.150
AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU,
00:18:38.150 --> 00:18:39.240
THAT THE VAST MAJORITY
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.040
OF THOSE...NOW, ANYBODY
00:18:41.040 --> 00:18:42.020
COULD BE AFFECTED
00:18:42.020 --> 00:18:43.210
AND SATAN CAN ATTACK YOU
00:18:43.210 --> 00:18:45.030
FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME.
00:18:45.030 --> 00:18:46.080
BUT OVERALL,
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:47.220
PEOPLE WHO ARE PARTNERS,
00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:49.110
PEOPLE WHO ARE GIVING,
00:18:49.110 --> 00:18:50.170
PEOPLE WHO HAVE PUT GOD FIRST
00:18:50.170 --> 00:18:52.220
IN THEIR LIFE
00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:53.230
AND HAVE MOVED BEYOND
00:18:53.230 --> 00:18:55.050
SELFISHNESS
00:18:55.050 --> 00:18:56.010
AND THEY ARE LIVING, AS IT SAYS,
00:18:56.010 --> 00:18:58.110
IN EPHESIANS 4:28,
00:18:58.110 --> 00:19:00.140
THAT THEY ARE WORKING,
00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:01.120
SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE
00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:02.100
TO GIVE TO HIM THAT NEEDS.
00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:04.110
AS IT SAYS, IN 2 CORINTHIANS,
00:19:04.110 --> 00:19:05.280
CHAPTER 9, VERSE 8,
00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:07.230
GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE
00:19:07.230 --> 00:19:09.060
ABOUND TOWARDS YOU;
00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:10.050
THAT YOU, ALWAYS HAVING
00:19:10.050 --> 00:19:11.190
ALL SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS,
00:19:11.190 --> 00:19:13.170
MAY ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK.
00:19:13.170 --> 00:19:15.240
THE REASON YOU ARE WORKING
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.100
IS SO THAT YOU CAN ABOUND
00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:18.170
TO EVERY GOOD WORK.
00:19:18.170 --> 00:19:19.240
NOT JUST SO THAT YOU CAN
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:20.200
GET ALL YOU CAN
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.070
AND THEN CAN ALL YOU GET
00:19:22.070 --> 00:19:23.150
AND THEN SIT ON YOUR CAN,
00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:25.030
BUT SO THAT YOU CAN
00:19:25.030 --> 00:19:25.240
BE A BLESSING TO OTHER PEOPLE.
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.000
AND PEOPLE WITH THAT ATTITUDE,
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.050
OVERALL...AGAIN, YOU MIGHT
00:19:30.050 --> 00:19:32.020
HAVE A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME
00:19:32.020 --> 00:19:33.140
WHERE YOU'RE UNDER AN ATTACK.
00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:34.240
BUT OVERALL,
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:35.190
YOUR LIFE...YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
00:19:35.190 --> 00:19:36.260
GOD SUPPLY YOUR NEEDS.
00:19:36.260 --> 00:19:38.230
BUT THE VAST MAJORITY
00:19:38.230 --> 00:19:40.220
OF CHRISTIANS
00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:41.280
WHO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
00:19:41.280 --> 00:19:43.000
WITH GOD,
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:43.200
BUT AREN'T SEEING THIS ABUNDANCE
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.140
AND YOU AREN'T SEEING
00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.100
PHILIPPIANS 4:19,
00:19:46.100 --> 00:19:48.010
WHERE GOD IS SUPPLYING
00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:49.090
ALL OF YOUR NEED,
00:19:49.090 --> 00:19:51.110
THE VAST MAJORITY OF YOU
00:19:51.110 --> 00:19:53.120
IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T GONE
00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:54.200
BEYOND YOURSELF IN YOUR GIVING.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.200
YOU MAY GIVE OCCASIONALLY.
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.210
YOU MAY GIVE IN RESPONSE
00:20:00.210 --> 00:20:02.220
TO SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GETTING
00:20:02.220 --> 00:20:04.130
LIKE BUYING A PRODUCT.
00:20:04.130 --> 00:20:06.210
BUT TO GIVE, TO LIVE TO GIVE,
00:20:06.210 --> 00:20:09.150
TO GET TO WHERE YOU...
00:20:09.150 --> 00:20:10.110
IT'S MORE BLESSED TO GIVE
00:20:10.110 --> 00:20:12.040
THAN IT IS TO RECEIVE,
00:20:12.040 --> 00:20:14.200
I CAN GUARANTEE YOU
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:15.100
THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE
00:20:15.100 --> 00:20:16.200
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:17.160
THAT ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY,
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.270
YOU HAVE NOT MOVED
00:20:18.270 --> 00:20:20.080
INTO THIS LEVEL OF JUST GIVING
00:20:20.140 --> 00:20:23.140
AND PARTNERING
00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:24.120
AND HELPING OTHER PEOPLE
00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:25.200
GET THE GOSPEL.
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.120
THAT'S A MAJOR STATEMENT,
00:20:28.120 --> 00:20:30.110
AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF
00:20:30.110 --> 00:20:31.170
IN THE CONDITION
00:20:31.170 --> 00:20:32.080
THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT,
00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:34.050
AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF
00:20:34.050 --> 00:20:35.140
STRUGGLING AND PHILIPPIANS 4:19,
00:20:35.140 --> 00:20:37.180
ISN'T WORKING FOR YOU,
00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:38.250
CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT
00:20:38.250 --> 00:20:40.200
YOU HAVE BEEN USING
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:41.250
YOUR RESOURCES PROPERLY.
00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:43.220
WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING
00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:45.070
AN ACCOUNT IN HEAVEN,
00:20:45.070 --> 00:20:47.030
SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE
00:20:47.030 --> 00:20:48.000
A WITHDRAWAL.
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.090
YOU NEED TO LEARN
00:20:50.090 --> 00:20:51.040
TO START GIVING.
00:20:51.040 --> 00:20:53.120
AND AGAIN, I'M DEFINING
00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:54.060
PARTNERSHIP AS GIVING BEYOND
00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:57.140
JUST WHAT YOU GET.
00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:59.170
YOU ARE GIVING ABOVE THAT
00:20:59.170 --> 00:21:01.250
IN ORDER TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE.
00:21:01.250 --> 00:21:03.200
AND PARTNERSHIP IS SOMETHING
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.030
THAT IS DONE
00:21:06.030 --> 00:21:06.270
ON A CONSISTENT BASIS.
00:21:06.270 --> 00:21:08.240
IN 1 CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER 16,
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.240
PAUL SAID, LET EVERY MAN LAY BY
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:13.200
IN STORE ON A WEEKLY BASIS,
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.210
ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK,
00:21:15.210 --> 00:21:17.000
AS GOD HAS PROSPERED HIM
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:18.280
SO THAT WHEN I COME
00:21:18.280 --> 00:21:19.220
THERE WILL BE NO GATHERINGS.
00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:21.150
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'VE ALREADY
00:21:21.150 --> 00:21:22.070
SET THIS MONEY ASIDE.
00:21:22.070 --> 00:21:24.010
IF YOU TOOK EVERYTHING
00:21:24.010 --> 00:21:25.190
THAT YOU GET,
00:21:25.190 --> 00:21:26.120
AND IF YOU SET ASIDE
00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:27.150
A PERCENTAGE AND DO IT
00:21:27.150 --> 00:21:29.010
SYSTEMATICALLY
00:21:29.010 --> 00:21:30.280
AND JUST MAKE THAT LIKE
00:21:30.280 --> 00:21:32.060
YOUR GIVING,
00:21:32.060 --> 00:21:33.140
YOU WILL WIND UP GIVING
00:21:33.140 --> 00:21:34.260
MUCH, MUCH MORE THAN IF YOU
00:21:34.260 --> 00:21:36.110
JUST GIVE OCCASIONALLY
00:21:36.110 --> 00:21:38.000
WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT,
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.270
WHENEVER SOMEBODY PRESENTS YOU
00:21:39.270 --> 00:21:41.040
WITH A NEED OR SOMETHING
00:21:41.040 --> 00:21:42.250
LIKE THAT.
00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:43.250
SO, I'M DEFINING PARTNERSHIP
00:21:43.250 --> 00:21:45.140
BASED ON THESE THINGS
00:21:45.140 --> 00:21:46.110
THAT I'VE SHARED WITH YOU
00:21:46.110 --> 00:21:48.080
THROUGH PAUL'S WRITINGS
00:21:48.080 --> 00:21:49.210
AS WHEN YOU ARE GIVING BEYOND
00:21:49.210 --> 00:21:52.160
WHAT IT TAKES FOR YOU
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:53.160
TO GET THE GOSPEL.
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.270
YOU ARE GIVING TO HELP
00:21:54.270 --> 00:21:55.280
OTHER PEOPLE RECEIVE
00:21:55.280 --> 00:21:57.200
THESE TRUTHS.
00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:58.130
A PURE MOTIVATION WHERE YOU
00:21:58.130 --> 00:22:00.060
AREN'T RECEIVING ANYTHING
00:22:00.060 --> 00:22:01.200
IN THE NATURAL FOR IT.
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.230
YOU'RE RECEIVING THINGS
00:22:03.230 --> 00:22:04.230
SPIRITUALLY.
00:22:04.230 --> 00:22:05.180
YOU WILL BE BLESSED IN ETERNITY.
00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:07.210
BUT IT'S NOT A SELFISH
00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:09.120
MOTIVATION IN YOUR GIVING.
00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:10.230
IT'S NOT A PAYMENT
00:22:10.230 --> 00:22:11.230
FOR SOMETHING.
00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:12.150
IT IS JUST A PURE GIFT TO HELP
00:22:12.150 --> 00:22:14.230
OTHER PEOPLE RECEIVE THE GOSPEL.
00:22:14.230 --> 00:22:17.180
AND I TELL YOU IF YOU WILL ENTER
00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:18.210
INTO PARTNERSHIP LIKE THAT
00:22:18.210 --> 00:22:21.130
AND DO IT ON A DELIBERATE BASIS,
00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:24.080
IT'LL NOT ONLY BLESS THE CHURCH
00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:25.280
OR THE MINISTRY THAT YOU GIVE TO
00:22:25.280 --> 00:22:27.250
BUT IT WILL ABOUND
00:22:27.250 --> 00:22:29.130
TO YOUR ACCOUNT,
00:22:29.130 --> 00:22:30.220
AND MY GOD WILL SUPPLY
00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:33.000
ALL OF YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.080
HIS RICHES IN GLORY
00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:36.280
BY CHRIST JESUS.
00:22:36.280 --> 00:22:38.120
AND I AM CONFIDENT
00:22:38.120 --> 00:22:40.080
THAT THOSE WHO ENTER
00:22:40.080 --> 00:22:41.150
INTO THAT TYPE OF PARTNERSHIP
00:22:41.150 --> 00:22:43.030
THAT GOD WILL PERFORM THE THINGS
00:22:43.030 --> 00:22:45.140
THAT'S HE'S BEGUN IN YOU
00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:46.210
UNTIL THE DAY OF THE LORD
00:22:46.210 --> 00:22:48.050
JESUS CHRIST.
00:22:48.050 --> 00:22:50.050
ALL OF THESE PROMISES
00:22:50.050 --> 00:22:51.100
IN PHILIPPIANS THAT WE APPLY
00:22:51.100 --> 00:22:53.000
JUST ACROSS THE BOARD
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.130
TO EVERYBODY ARE WRITTEN
00:22:54.130 --> 00:22:56.200
SPECIFICALLY TO PARTNERS.
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.200
