00:00:44.424 --> 00:00:48.328
The fact that you have a harvestis proof that harvest exists.
00:00:48.328 --> 00:00:50.396
is proof that harvest exists.The fact that you have a house

Your husband is a harvest.Let me try it again.
00:01:20.126 --> 00:01:22.762
Sounds like the women
00:01:34.707 --> 00:01:35.708
Sounds like the womenneed a little bit more
00:01:35.708 --> 00:01:39.579
need a little bit moreconvincing than the men.
00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:40.413
convincing than the men.If you found someone
00:01:40.413 --> 00:01:41.714
If you found someonewho thinks putting up
00:01:41.714 --> 00:01:43.950

00:02:11.611 --> 00:02:13.980
and decided to write youa check every week for it.
00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:14.547
a check every week for it.And don't you take
00:02:14.547 --> 00:02:16.316
And don't you takethat harvest for granted.
00:02:16.316 --> 00:02:16.983
that harvest for granted.Don't you take
00:02:16.983 --> 00:02:18.518
Don't you takethat check for granted.
00:02:18.518 --> 00:02:19.819

Love is a harvest.I wrote this one down.
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:28.861
You could very easily
00:02:32.065 --> 00:02:32.832
You could very easilybe ugly.
00:02:32.832 --> 00:02:33.299
be ugly.Come on.
00:02:33.299 --> 00:02:34.500
Come on.Say amen.
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:35.702
Say amen.You have no idea
00:02:35.702 --> 00:02:38.438
You have no ideahow close to ugly you are.
00:02:38.438 --> 00:02:40.106
how close to ugly you are.All God would have to do
00:02:40.106 --> 00:02:41.107
All God would have to dois raise the tip
00:02:41.107 --> 00:02:42.875
is raise the tipof your nose back a half a inch,
00:02:42.875 --> 00:02:43.476
of your nose back a half a inch,and you would look like
00:02:43.476 --> 00:02:44.544
and you would look likePorky the Pig.
00:02:44.544 --> 00:02:47.880
Porky the Pig.But God was good to you.
00:02:47.880 --> 00:02:48.448
But God was good to you.Turn to your neighbor
00:02:48.448 --> 00:02:49.782
Turn to your neighborand say, you barely made it.
00:02:49.782 --> 00:02:51.684
and say, you barely made it.But I'm just telling you.
00:02:51.684 --> 00:02:52.518
But I'm just telling you.I'm just telling you,
00:02:52.518 --> 00:02:55.221
Isn't it wonderful
00:02:59.292 --> 00:03:00.059
Isn't it wonderfulthat somebody finds
00:03:00.059 --> 00:03:03.062
that somebody findsyou attractive?
00:03:03.062 --> 00:03:03.630
you attractive?Because there's people
00:03:03.630 --> 00:03:05.832
Because there's peoplewho don't think you are.
00:03:05.832 --> 00:03:06.799
who don't think you are.I'm just telling you.
00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:08.334
I'm just telling you.And they were shocked
00:03:08.334 --> 00:03:09.469
And they were shockedwhen you got married.
00:03:09.469 --> 00:03:10.403
when you got married.They never dreamed
00:03:10.403 --> 00:03:14.240
They never dreamedyou would ever find anybody.
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.875
you would ever find anybody.I'm talking about today
00:03:15.875 --> 00:03:20.280
I'm talking about todaythe results of being generous.
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.116
the results of being generous.All around you,
00:03:23.116 --> 00:03:26.619
All around you,God wants to bring rewards.
00:03:26.619 --> 00:03:28.755
God wants to bring rewards.Immediate rewards to people
00:03:28.755 --> 00:03:31.457
Immediate rewards to peoplewho are generous.
00:03:31.457 --> 00:03:32.759
who are generous.And I want to talk to you about
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:33.760
And I want to talk to you aboutthat because I think
00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:36.029
that because I thinkthat once you understand
00:03:36.029 --> 00:03:37.096
that once you understandwhat I'm saying,
00:03:37.096 --> 00:03:39.766
what I'm saying,it's going to open your eyes.
00:03:39.766 --> 00:03:40.767
it's going to open your eyes.You see, the tithe
00:03:40.767 --> 00:03:44.871
You see, the titheis talked about in Leviticus 27.
00:03:44.871 --> 00:03:46.606
is talked about in Leviticus 27.In verse 30, it says,
00:03:46.606 --> 00:03:48.074
In verse 30, it says,"The tithe of the land..."
00:03:48.074 --> 00:03:50.443
"The tithe of the land..."Which the word tithe means ten.
00:03:50.443 --> 00:03:51.844
Which the word tithe means ten."Whether the seed of the land
00:03:51.844 --> 00:03:52.979
"Whether the seed of the landor the fruit of the tree,
00:03:52.979 --> 00:03:54.047
or the fruit of the tree,is the Lord's."
00:03:54.047 --> 00:03:54.914
is the Lord's."Notice these words.
00:03:54.914 --> 00:03:58.184
Notice these words."It is holy to the Lord.
00:03:58.184 --> 00:04:00.086
"It is holy to the Lord.If a man wants to redeem
00:04:00.086 --> 00:04:02.422
If a man wants to redeemall of his tithes,
00:04:02.422 --> 00:04:04.891
all of his tithes,he shall add one-fifth to it.
00:04:04.891 --> 00:04:06.693
he shall add one-fifth to it.What God is saying here
00:04:06.693 --> 00:04:07.994
What God is saying hereis this is mine.
00:04:07.994 --> 00:04:10.196
is this is mine.When He says it's holy,
00:04:10.196 --> 00:04:11.464
When He says it's holy,He doesn't mean
00:04:11.464 --> 00:04:13.866
He doesn't meanjust like holiness.
00:04:13.866 --> 00:04:15.535
just like holiness.He means it's sanctified.
00:04:15.535 --> 00:04:17.070
He means it's sanctified.It's set apart.
00:04:17.070 --> 00:04:18.838
It's set apart.The tithe or the tenth
00:04:18.838 --> 00:04:20.006
The tithe or the tenthis set apart.
00:04:20.006 --> 00:04:21.341
is set apart.It's mine.
00:04:21.341 --> 00:04:22.508
It's mine.And He said if anybody
00:04:22.508 --> 00:04:24.143
And He said if anybodytakes that tithe --
00:04:24.143 --> 00:04:25.144
takes that tithe --this is Old Covenant,
00:04:25.144 --> 00:04:26.713
this is Old Covenant,so just let me teach it.
00:04:26.713 --> 00:04:27.180
so just let me teach it.But it's got
00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:28.748
But it's gota great point to it.
00:04:28.748 --> 00:04:29.849
a great point to it.If you take the tithe,
00:04:29.849 --> 00:04:31.050
If you take the tithe,and you don't give it to me,
00:04:31.050 --> 00:04:32.485
and you don't give it to me,and you use it, He said,
00:04:32.485 --> 00:04:34.187
and you use it, He said,if you want to get right,
00:04:34.187 --> 00:04:35.054
if you want to get right,then you have to bring
00:04:35.054 --> 00:04:37.090
then you have to bringone-fifth interest.
00:04:37.090 --> 00:04:37.757
one-fifth interest.God's saying
00:04:37.757 --> 00:04:38.624
God's sayingit's so much mine --
00:04:38.624 --> 00:04:39.726
it's so much mine --the point is this.
00:04:39.726 --> 00:04:41.527
the point is this.It's so much mine
00:04:41.527 --> 00:04:43.062
It's so much minethat I want you to understand
00:04:43.062 --> 00:04:45.698
that I want you to understandthat if you don't give it to me,
00:04:45.698 --> 00:04:46.766
that if you don't give it to me,I have a right to charge
00:04:46.766 --> 00:04:48.301
I have a right to chargeyou interest.
00:04:48.301 --> 00:04:49.635
you interest.And He says the interest
00:04:49.635 --> 00:04:50.470
And He says the interestwill be one-fifth,
00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:52.372
will be one-fifth,or about 20%.
00:04:52.372 --> 00:04:53.706
or about 20%.That's old covenant.
00:04:53.706 --> 00:04:54.674
That's old covenant.God doesn't make us live
00:04:54.674 --> 00:04:55.675
God doesn't make us liveunder that,
00:04:55.675 --> 00:04:59.045
under that,but He's emphasizing the point.
00:04:59.045 --> 00:05:01.581
but He's emphasizing the point.He's emphasizing the point
00:05:01.581 --> 00:05:04.016
He's emphasizing the pointthat it's mine, so much so
00:05:04.016 --> 00:05:05.818
that it's mine, so much sothat I have a right to charge
00:05:05.818 --> 00:05:08.287
that I have a right to chargeyou interest if you don't
00:05:08.287 --> 00:05:11.457
you interest if you don'thonor me with it.
00:05:11.457 --> 00:05:13.693
honor me with it.He goes on to say, in Verse 32,
00:05:13.693 --> 00:05:14.894
He goes on to say, in Verse 32,"And concerning the tithe
00:05:14.894 --> 00:05:16.329
"And concerning the titheof the herd or the flock
00:05:16.329 --> 00:05:17.964
of the herd or the flockof whatever passes under
00:05:17.964 --> 00:05:20.233
of whatever passes underthe rod, the tenth one shall
00:05:20.233 --> 00:05:21.901
the rod, the tenth one shallbe holy to the Lord".
00:05:21.901 --> 00:05:23.736
be holy to the Lord".God was so specific about
00:05:23.736 --> 00:05:25.271
God was so specific aboutthis that He says I want you
00:05:25.271 --> 00:05:27.940
this that He says I want youto, every ten animals,
00:05:27.940 --> 00:05:29.609
to, every ten animals,count them off and take one out
00:05:29.609 --> 00:05:32.178
count them off and take one outof the ten and say it's holy
00:05:32.178 --> 00:05:33.813
of the ten and say it's holyunto the Lord.
00:05:33.813 --> 00:05:35.281
unto the Lord.Let the ten oxen go through,
00:05:35.281 --> 00:05:36.616
Let the ten oxen go through,take one out.
00:05:36.616 --> 00:05:37.717
take one out.Ten goats go through,
00:05:37.717 --> 00:05:38.684
Ten goats go through,take one out.
00:05:38.684 --> 00:05:39.652
take one out.Ten sheep go through,
00:05:39.652 --> 00:05:41.454
Ten sheep go through,take one out of the ten.
00:05:41.454 --> 00:05:43.689
take one out of the ten.As they pass under, grab it,
00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:45.191
As they pass under, grab it,and the rest you keep,
00:05:45.191 --> 00:05:46.692
and the rest you keep,but that is holy unto the Lord.
00:05:46.692 --> 00:05:50.163
but that is holy unto the Lord.Ten chickens, here's the grain,
00:05:50.163 --> 00:05:51.731
Ten chickens, here's the grain,take it out.
00:05:51.731 --> 00:05:53.866
take it out.This is how serious God
00:05:53.866 --> 00:05:55.968
This is how serious Godwas about it.
00:05:55.968 --> 00:05:59.205
was about it.The reason that He says I want
00:05:59.205 --> 00:06:02.642
The reason that He says I wantthis percentage, this 10%,
00:06:02.642 --> 00:06:04.410
this percentage, this 10%,is because 10 is symbolic --
00:06:04.410 --> 00:06:05.378
is because 10 is symbolic --listen very carefully,
00:06:05.378 --> 00:06:06.679
listen very carefully,of the whole.
00:06:06.679 --> 00:06:09.682
of the whole.Our numerical system teaches
00:06:09.682 --> 00:06:11.451
Our numerical system teachesin terms of 10.
00:06:11.451 --> 00:06:12.785
in terms of 10.If you can count to 10,
00:06:12.785 --> 00:06:14.287
If you can count to 10,you can count to 100.
00:06:14.287 --> 00:06:15.655
you can count to 100.If you can count to 10,
00:06:15.655 --> 00:06:17.423
If you can count to 10,you can count to 1.000.000,
00:06:17.423 --> 00:06:19.492
you can count to 1.000.000,because all you do after 10
00:06:19.492 --> 00:06:21.494
because all you do after 10is repeat again.
00:06:21.494 --> 00:06:23.262
is repeat again.So, the way you get to 100
00:06:23.262 --> 00:06:24.764
So, the way you get to 100is you count to 10,
00:06:24.764 --> 00:06:26.032
is you count to 10,and then you start over again
00:06:26.032 --> 00:06:28.634
and then you start over againwith 1 at 21, 22,
00:06:28.634 --> 00:06:31.304
with 1 at 21, 22,and then you get to 30, 31.
00:06:31.304 --> 00:06:32.772
and then you get to 30, 31.You're counting to 10 again.
00:06:32.772 --> 00:06:35.074
You're counting to 10 again.And so, everything comes
00:06:35.074 --> 00:06:37.443
And so, everything comesout of the 10.
00:06:37.443 --> 00:06:39.645
out of the 10.The genius of God, when He said
00:06:39.645 --> 00:06:42.548
The genius of God, when He saidI want the 10, is He's saying
00:06:42.548 --> 00:06:46.185
I want the 10, is He's sayingthe 90% is in the 10%,
00:06:46.185 --> 00:06:47.386
the 90% is in the 10%,and if you honor me
00:06:47.386 --> 00:06:49.989
and if you honor mewith the 10%, I'll see it as
00:06:49.989 --> 00:06:52.158
with the 10%, I'll see it aseverything that you have,
00:06:52.158 --> 00:06:54.760
everything that you have,you're giving it to me.
00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:57.163
you're giving it to me.You're saying that it belongs
00:06:57.163 --> 00:06:59.232
You're saying that it belongsto you, Lord, and I'm honoring
00:06:59.232 --> 00:07:02.535
to you, Lord, and I'm honoringyou with the tithe.
00:07:02.535 --> 00:07:04.103
you with the tithe.I'm saying today that we need
00:07:04.103 --> 00:07:08.808
I'm saying today that we needto understand that it is not
00:07:08.808 --> 00:07:12.011
to understand that it is notthe amount, it is the fact
00:07:12.011 --> 00:07:13.513
the amount, it is the factthat our heart wants
00:07:13.513 --> 00:07:16.549
that our heart wantsto honor God.
00:07:16.549 --> 00:07:17.817
to honor God.I heard the true story about
00:07:17.817 --> 00:07:20.119
I heard the true story abouta man who went to New York,
00:07:20.119 --> 00:07:21.787
a man who went to New York,and he said he bought his wife
00:07:21.787 --> 00:07:24.924
and he said he bought his wifean extremely expensive dress
00:07:24.924 --> 00:07:27.193
an extremely expensive dressas a gift, because he loved her
00:07:27.193 --> 00:07:28.928
as a gift, because he loved herand he wanted to bring this gift
00:07:28.928 --> 00:07:31.464
and he wanted to bring this gifthome to her when he got
00:07:31.464 --> 00:07:32.965
home to her when he gothome from this trip.
00:07:32.965 --> 00:07:34.934
home from this trip.So, he picked it out,
00:07:34.934 --> 00:07:35.601
So, he picked it out,and he bought it,
00:07:35.601 --> 00:07:36.502
and he bought it,and he paid a lot
00:07:36.502 --> 00:07:37.370
and he paid a lotof money for it.
00:07:37.370 --> 00:07:38.304
of money for it.And just as they were wrapping
00:07:38.304 --> 00:07:40.172
And just as they were wrappingit up as a gift, he said,
00:07:40.172 --> 00:07:41.307
it up as a gift, he said,wait just one minute,
00:07:41.307 --> 00:07:42.542
wait just one minute,and he grabbed a piece of paper,
00:07:42.542 --> 00:07:44.877
and he grabbed a piece of paper,and he wrote these words on it.
00:07:44.877 --> 00:07:47.680
and he wrote these words on it.You are always on my mind.
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.581
You are always on my mind.That's pretty good.
00:07:48.581 --> 00:07:51.150
That's pretty good.You are always on my mind,
00:07:51.150 --> 00:07:52.585
You are always on my mind,and put it inside.
00:07:52.585 --> 00:07:53.519
and put it inside.Wrapped it up.
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:54.420
Wrapped it up.She got it.
00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:56.689
She got it.She opened it up and she looked
00:07:56.689 --> 00:07:58.457
She opened it up and she lookedat the dress, and as most women
00:07:58.457 --> 00:08:01.127
at the dress, and as most womendo if the man picks the dress,
00:08:01.127 --> 00:08:03.329
do if the man picks the dress,she was not very impressed.
00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:04.497
she was not very impressed.She took that expensive
00:08:04.497 --> 00:08:06.165
She took that expensivedress out, he said,
00:08:06.165 --> 00:08:07.433
dress out, he said,hung it in the closet,
00:08:07.433 --> 00:08:08.367
hung it in the closet,and to this day
00:08:08.367 --> 00:08:09.902
and to this dayshe has never worn it.
00:08:09.902 --> 00:08:11.337
she has never worn it.But she took that card
00:08:11.337 --> 00:08:12.872
But she took that cardthat said, you are always
00:08:12.872 --> 00:08:14.040
that said, you are alwayson my mind,
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:15.508
on my mind,stuck it in the mirror,
00:08:15.508 --> 00:08:16.375
stuck it in the mirror,and it's been there
00:08:16.375 --> 00:08:19.011
and it's been therefor several years.
00:08:19.011 --> 00:08:23.149
for several years.It was not the act of the gift
00:08:23.149 --> 00:08:25.151
It was not the act of the giftand how expensive it was,
00:08:25.151 --> 00:08:28.054
and how expensive it was,it was the fact that he cared
00:08:28.054 --> 00:08:29.789
it was the fact that he caredenough to say to her,
00:08:29.789 --> 00:08:31.824
enough to say to her,you are always on my mind.
00:08:31.824 --> 00:08:32.925
you are always on my mind.That's what we're doing
00:08:32.925 --> 00:08:33.659
That's what we're doingwith the tithe.
00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:35.561
with the tithe.God does not need your gift.
00:08:35.561 --> 00:08:36.929
God does not need your gift.He can hang it in His closet
00:08:36.929 --> 00:08:38.130
He can hang it in His closetand never touch it.
00:08:38.130 --> 00:08:39.865
and never touch it.It's the fact that you honored
00:08:39.865 --> 00:08:41.534
It's the fact that you honoredHim enough to say,
00:08:41.534 --> 00:08:43.603
Him enough to say,you are always on my mind,
00:08:43.603 --> 00:08:45.838
you are always on my mind,when you bring the tithe,
00:08:45.838 --> 00:08:48.274
when you bring the tithe,and you bring the offering.
00:08:48.274 --> 00:08:49.976
and you bring the offering.What blesses God
00:08:49.976 --> 00:08:52.445
What blesses Godis a spirit of obedience.
00:08:52.445 --> 00:08:54.847
is a spirit of obedience.The woman with the alabaster box
00:08:54.847 --> 00:08:57.283
The woman with the alabaster boxbroke it open, one year's wages,
00:08:57.283 --> 00:08:58.084
broke it open, one year's wages,and poured it
00:08:58.084 --> 00:09:00.786
and poured iton the feet of Jesus.
00:09:00.786 --> 00:09:05.191
on the feet of Jesus.And Jesus was moved by her gift.
00:09:05.191 --> 00:09:08.094
And Jesus was moved by her gift.He was moved by it, obedience.
00:09:08.094 --> 00:09:10.296
He was moved by it, obedience.Obedience is powerful.
00:09:10.296 --> 00:09:14.033
Obedience is powerful.That's why Malachi 3:10 said,
00:09:14.033 --> 00:09:15.901
That's why Malachi 3:10 said,"Bring all of the tithe"
00:09:15.901 --> 00:09:16.769
"Bring all of the tithe"all of it.
00:09:16.769 --> 00:09:18.004
all of it.Everybody say all.
00:09:18.004 --> 00:09:19.639
Everybody say all."Bring all of the tithes
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:20.673
"Bring all of the tithesinto the storehouse,
00:09:20.673 --> 00:09:22.508
into the storehouse,that I may have
00:09:22.508 --> 00:09:24.977
that I may havemeat in the house",
00:09:24.977 --> 00:09:25.911
meat in the house",look at these words,
00:09:25.911 --> 00:09:29.782
look at these words,"and prove me now with this."
00:09:29.782 --> 00:09:31.584
"and prove me now with this."The word prove me means
00:09:31.584 --> 00:09:32.785
The word prove me meansprovoke me.
00:09:32.785 --> 00:09:33.719
provoke me.Wow!
00:09:33.719 --> 00:09:35.121
Wow!I can provoke God.
00:09:35.121 --> 00:09:37.356
I can provoke God.Challenge me is another word.
00:09:37.356 --> 00:09:39.492
Challenge me is another word.Test me in this.
00:09:39.492 --> 00:09:40.259
Test me in this.Prove me.
00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:41.260
Prove me.Provoke me.
00:09:41.260 --> 00:09:42.428
Provoke me.Test me.
00:09:42.428 --> 00:09:45.464
Test me.Bring me a tithe, and see
00:09:45.464 --> 00:09:48.734
Bring me a tithe, and seeif I will not pour you out"
00:09:48.734 --> 00:09:50.236
if I will not pour you out"open up the windows of heaven
00:09:50.236 --> 00:09:52.405
open up the windows of heavenand pour you out a blessing,
00:09:52.405 --> 00:09:55.374
and pour you out a blessing,there shall not be room enough
00:09:55.374 --> 00:09:57.710
there shall not be room enoughto receive it".
00:09:57.710 --> 00:10:00.880
to receive it".He said if you will honor me,
00:10:00.880 --> 00:10:02.081
He said if you will honor me,and bring me the tithe
00:10:02.081 --> 00:10:04.150
and bring me the titheand the offering, that there is,
00:10:04.150 --> 00:10:05.418
and the offering, that there is,in the house of God that
00:10:05.418 --> 00:10:08.688
in the house of God thatyou attend, a floodgate.
00:10:08.688 --> 00:10:10.289
you attend, a floodgate.Some translations say window
00:10:10.289 --> 00:10:12.625
Some translations say windowof heaven, but the original,
00:10:12.625 --> 00:10:14.326
of heaven, but the original,if you read it, it actually
00:10:14.326 --> 00:10:15.828
if you read it, it actuallymeans floodgate.
00:10:15.828 --> 00:10:17.997
means floodgate.A floodgate is like,
00:10:17.997 --> 00:10:20.499
A floodgate is like,when there's so much coming,
00:10:20.499 --> 00:10:21.767
when there's so much coming,and the gate is down,
00:10:21.767 --> 00:10:23.269
and the gate is down,and it just keeps piling up,
00:10:23.269 --> 00:10:24.136
and it just keeps piling up,and it gets deeper,
00:10:24.136 --> 00:10:25.538
and it gets deeper,and deeper, and deeper.
00:10:25.538 --> 00:10:27.873
and deeper, and deeper.And when you bring me the tithe
00:10:27.873 --> 00:10:29.809
And when you bring me the titheand the offering, I command
00:10:29.809 --> 00:10:32.211
and the offering, I commandthe floodgate in my house
00:10:32.211 --> 00:10:34.180
the floodgate in my houseto flow from my house
00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:37.483
to flow from my houseto your house.
00:10:37.483 --> 00:10:38.651
to your house.So, you're the priest
00:10:38.651 --> 00:10:39.952
So, you're the priestof your home,
00:10:39.952 --> 00:10:41.120
of your home,if you're the parent,
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.388

the dad or the mom.You're the priest of your home.
00:10:44.356 --> 00:10:45.791
You're the priest of your home.You are the government
00:10:45.791 --> 00:10:47.259
You are the governmentof that home.
00:10:47.259 --> 00:10:49.128
of that home.And you connect to the house
00:10:49.128 --> 00:10:51.964
And you connect to the houseof God, you become a partner
00:10:51.964 --> 00:10:53.299
of God, you become a partnerwith God when you bring
00:10:53.299 --> 00:10:55.067
with God when you bringthe tithe and the offering,
00:10:55.067 --> 00:10:56.535

00:10:56.535 --> 00:10:57.670
and it goes from priestto priest.
00:10:57.670 --> 00:10:59.905
to priest.I'm the spiritual pastor
00:10:59.905 --> 00:11:02.174
I'm the spiritual pastorover this particular flock
00:11:02.174 --> 00:11:05.177
over this particular flockthat God has trusted me with,
00:11:05.177 --> 00:11:06.612
that God has trusted me with,and what we do with
00:11:06.612 --> 00:11:08.447
and what we do withthe resources God will judge
00:11:08.447 --> 00:11:11.450
the resources God will judgeme for, and those of us who
00:11:11.450 --> 00:11:14.854
me for, and those of us whoare in control of the resources.
00:11:14.854 --> 00:11:17.223
are in control of the resources.But when you connect your house
00:11:17.223 --> 00:11:19.558
But when you connect your houseto this house, we in return

are connectedto the high priest,
00:11:22.695 --> 00:11:24.163
to the high priest,Jesus, and He says
00:11:24.163 --> 00:11:26.398
Jesus, and He saysthe windows of heaven,
00:11:26.398 --> 00:11:27.867
the windows of heaven,the floodgate of heaven
00:11:27.867 --> 00:11:29.935
the floodgate of heavenis full of blessings, and now,
00:11:29.935 --> 00:11:31.771
is full of blessings, and now,because that's a giving church,
00:11:31.771 --> 00:11:33.072
because that's a giving church,I'm going to lift up
00:11:33.072 --> 00:11:34.140
I'm going to lift upthe floodgate.
00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:35.508
the floodgate.It's going to hit that house
00:11:35.508 --> 00:11:37.977
It's going to hit that houseand it has.
00:11:37.977 --> 00:11:41.147
and it has.And now the floodgate is down
00:11:41.147 --> 00:11:43.382
And now the floodgate is downfor your house, but you bring
00:11:43.382 --> 00:11:44.650
for your house, but you bringthe tithe and offering
00:11:44.650 --> 00:11:46.719
the tithe and offeringto this house, and God says
00:11:46.719 --> 00:11:48.454
to this house, and God sayswhatever is in that house,
00:11:48.454 --> 00:11:50.189
whatever is in that house,just like what was on Moses
00:11:50.189 --> 00:11:52.291
just like what was on Mosescame on the 70 elders,
00:11:52.291 --> 00:11:54.660

it now comes into your house.This is the blessing
00:12:04.737 --> 00:12:07.039
This is the blessingof the generous person,
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:08.407
of the generous person,and I love what He said.
00:12:08.407 --> 00:12:10.910
and I love what He said."We're floating in blessings",
00:12:10.910 --> 00:12:12.077
"We're floating in blessings",and He said,
00:12:12.077 --> 00:12:13.712
and He said,"and all of these blessings
00:12:13.712 --> 00:12:15.681
"and all of these blessingswill overtake you."
00:12:15.681 --> 00:12:16.949
will overtake you."One translation said,
00:12:16.949 --> 00:12:19.418
One translation said,"They will tackle you",
00:12:19.418 --> 00:12:21.387
"They will tackle you",that when the floodgate comes
00:12:21.387 --> 00:12:23.355
that when the floodgate comesopen from heaven to the house
00:12:23.355 --> 00:12:24.456

a critical election season
00:25:50.562 --> 00:25:51.663
in the United States.
00:25:51.663 --> 00:25:52.831
And times like these always
00:25:52.831 --> 00:25:54.366
require action from the body
00:25:54.366 --> 00:25:55.400
of Christ.
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.735
