Why God's People Are Broke! Wake Up People...

couple weeks ago i did a bible study on god's original design for wealth and i showed people how um god like the scripture shows clearly that

the reason wealth is on the earth is for god's people and i know a lot of people have this belief that money is inherently evil or that it's inherently neutral and it just may if you're good it makes you better and if you're bad it makes

you worse but money is neither inherently evil nor is it inherently neutral money is inherently good even though some people use it for evil and um

god put wealth on the earth for his people and i i think that i showed that um like incontrovertibly uh in the last bible study but again uh when you show people that then

especially people have been going to church their whole life the first question that comes to their mind well if that's the case why are so many of god's people um broke and so many evil people are rich so that's the question we're gonna answer from the bible this morning i'm

not gonna answer that question from the dome i'm not going to answer that question from the myronosphere i'm going to answer that question from from the bible and i think you're going to be blown away by the answer

um the first thing that i'm going to bring to your attention is this um that satan is a god of lack god little g of lack and god the god of the universe

is a god of abundance and so you have to like you have to start there just the very uh nature of the being right god is a king he's the king of everything he owns

everything he's the god of abundance and as a king he has a kingdom a government that is a kingdom and that kingdom has some has some tenants uh the tenants

of the kingdom of god are freedom prophets abundance and life but satan being a god of lack little g

satan being god black little g um he has a fake kingdom so god is a king that wants to make you a king or if you're a lady he's a king that wants to make you a queen but

satan is a god little g a fake god who wants to make you a slave right so that's the difference and he wants to make you a slave to the

world the flesh and the devil so god wants to make you a king and so or a queen so interestingly enough the tenants of the kingdom of god are freedom prophets

abundance and life but the tenets of the kingdom of satan are wages slavery lack and death and so if you look at a

like how people are living and what they're quote manifesting you'll see which kingdom they're operating under right and so um

i showed in the last bible study so you can go watch it uh if you want to and i want to say first of all good morning to some people on youtube let me say hi to some folks uh tamika walker what's up

sister uh michael cooper uh rio i see a from south africa let's go uh coco smith so i see all of you out there some people wonder if this is live it's live and if you're on youtube and you like

the content by all means like it comment subscribe and share right so i'm going to go ahead and get into the text where i'm going to show you

that the scripture clearly teaches why so many of god's people are broke and so many evil people are rich and because it's in the bible i think it's going to kind of blow your mind now one of the

things that one of the uh assertions that i made in the in the last bible study on god's original design for wealth i think it was in that one is the fact that the very first

temptation in the history of the world was the temptation to focus on lack so why satan got adam and eve's attention off

of their abundance which was uh the lord god commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat every tree freely eat every freely those are abundance words those are not lack words of every tree of the

garden that may freely eat but of the tree the tree there's only one the tree that's in the midst of the garden thou shalt not eat of it for the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die so there's one tree that they didn't have but they had every other

tree so satan speaking through the serpent got eve's attention off of her abundance

and got her attention on the one thing she lacked and i submit to you so so you may remember over in second corinthians chapter 11 verse

number 3 where it says i fear lest by any means that as the serpent beguiled or tricked or deceived eve through his subtlety so your minds should be

corrupted from the simplicity that's in christ so what is that saying that's saying satan is going to use the exact same toolbox that he used to deceive eve to

deceive you if you're not aware of it so in order for us to understand how satan deceived eve and or how he wants to deceive us we have to go back and investigate how he deceived eve and what he did

was he he was he was he manipulated the language he changed the meaning of words he changed what god said and when you change what god said like you are in a

very very dangerous place right and so when you change what god said you are literally treading on some very very thin ice or if you listen to somebody

and follow somebody who's changing what god said you are treading on some very very thin ice the scripture says clearly can two walk together except they be agreed the word confess when scripture talks about confessing your sin the word

confess literally means to call it the same thing so i can't if god says it's one thing i can't call it something different and that's okay right so anyway um so

so god said of every tree the garden i mean is freely and it says now in genesis chapter three verse one now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the lord god had made and he said unto the woman yea hath god said

you shall not eat of every tree of the garden so satan said he added the word not and took out the word freely he said shall you shall not eat of every tree of the garden why is satan changing the

language because he understands that words are not just a communication tool they are the window through which you see the world right so when you change what you say it

changes what you see are y'all tracking with me my people so when you change what you say it changes what you see and that's why we have to be very very

intentional to follow god's principles what he calls things is actually what they are not what man renames things right god calls

what god calls it drunkenness right and he calls it a sin we call it alcoholism and label the disease so basically we're saying we're right and god's wrong god calls it

adultery and it's an abomination we call it an affair sounds like a party maybe i should bring a gift right god calls sodomy an abomination

we call it being gay like we have to follow god's principles and that doesn't mean we need to hate people who drink alcohol or who are alcoholics or who are drunkards and that doesn't mean we need to hate people who

are adulterers or fornicators it just means we need to call it the same thing if we called the same thing then sin would seem and appear to be exceeding sinful so let's call it what god calls it are

y'all tracking so so let's get into the text that tells us why so many evil people are rich and so many of god's people were broke because when i saw this i was i was not just blown away by i wasn't blown away by the

fact that it was in the bible i was blown away by the fact that i've been going to church since i was one or two years old i've heard thousands of sermons i went to a christian school we had chapel every morning i went to a

bible college we had chapel every day i've heard thousands of sermons thousands of bible studies and i've never heard anybody teach you on this text i'm about to show you that doesn't mean nobody's ever taught on it

i just never heard you by teaching so what's the text this is the this is in luke chapter 4 where satan is tempting christ

in fact i'm going to start with verse it says and jesus being full of the holy ghost returned from the jordan was led by the spirit into the wilderness being 40 days tempted of the devil and

in those days he did eat nothing and when they were ended he afterwards hungered and here's what says in verse 3 and the devil said unto him if thou be the son of god command these stones to be made bread jesus answered him saying it is written man shall not

live by bread alone but by every word but they perceive them out of god let me let me say this as an aside we have three enemies okay we have three enemies one is the world

two is the flesh the other one is the devil they are our enemies all three of those enemies desire to destroy us satan satan comes

at us attacking attacking from all three sides the world side the flesh side and the devil side so a lot of people don't know the difference by the way the first temptation in this passage is a fleshly temptation he was hungry he tempted him

with food right but what he was really trying to never mind i'm not gonna i digress so so he tempted me with food okay so so i'm

gonna i'm gonna tell you the difference between these three temptations uh the work a temptation of the world the world tempts us in our ambitions and it tempts us

it with our desire to be thought of a certain way by people that's so that's the temptation of the world the temptation of the world is the world

tempts us in our ambitions we want people to think we are all that in a bag of chips or whatever we want people to think and i i am telling you you are living in a very dangerous place if you need a man to think anything of you what

does it tell us in philippians chapter 2 let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus who being in the form of god he thought it not robbery to be equal with god he knew he was god he didn't think it was robbery to be equal with god but he made himself with no

reputation and we go around all the time trying to make ourselves a rip of a reputation because we have this we have this insecurity that causes us to feel the need for other people to think something

about us but if we understand what god thinks about us and what god says about us that frees us of the bondage of needing human beings to have an opinion of us one way or the other

think what you will i don't really have time to manage your opinions of me nor do i have a desire to do so right uh like you want to be free have nothing to prove have nothing to lose have nothing

to gain have nothing to hide and then you can be free okay anyway so so that was the first temptation and then it says in verse five here's one i want to bring your attention to

and the devil taking him up into a high mountain by the way this is a worldly temptation and the devil taking him up into an high mountain showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time now

i want first of all wrap your mind around this that verse says so much because because god is a king the whole bible the bible is not a book about religion

the bible is a book about a king and a kingdom and a royal family and the culturalization of a foreign land called earth where god put a he

created three categories of creation right he created creation and god said let there be light he created creatures and god said let

the earth bring forth um creeping things and let the waters bring forth the fowl and the fish so he created he created creature he created creation let the let there be light right he created

creatures let the earth bring forth let the water bring forth and then he created creators let us create man in our image so man is very separate from the universe we are not just creation

we are not creatures we are god created us as creators as an extension of himself to rule over the earthly realm to rule over the

physical realm he created a physical extension of himself to rule over the physical realm okay so understand that kingdom is the

purpose for which we are all created kingdom is the whole purpose for the bible when jesus who is salvation his death his barrel his resurrection is salvation when christ

came to earth he who is salvation didn't preach the gospel of salvation he preached the gospel of the kingdom why because salvation the purpose of salvation was not to take humans to

heaven but it was to restore kingdom on earth heaven is a bonus it's not the end game the end game is god restoring kingdom to the earth

which was his original plan from the beginning are y'all tracking so it says the devil taking him up into a high mountain showed him all the kingdoms of the world so you got to understand when it says

that we're talking about something that is that is the ultimate of the ultimate importance to god it's not either the ultimate importance to us especially in america because we've never lived in a kingdom we've never most of us have never experienced a kingdom most of us

never been to a kingdom so when when we read the word kingdom in the bible here's what it means that's what it means to us because we don't have it we don't have a physical representation right if i say a word to you and you don't have a definition for that word

you don't have a way to think about it if i say to you endoplasmic reticulum unless you are a scientist or a medical doctor when i say endoplasmic reticulum i just said a word that has absolutely zero meaning to you because you don't

know what it means so like the word kingdom to most christians is like the word endoplasmic reticulum to most humans they don't have a place to put it why because they've never

experienced the kingdom and understand the nature of a kingdom is very different than the nature of a democratic republic it's very different than the nature of a dictatorship it's very different than the nature of a

democracy a republic or any other form of government a democratic republic is supposed to be a government of the people for the people by the people a kingdom is a government of the king for the king by

the king it's very different so somebody said they're tracking i'm glad you're tracking i'm glad you're checking okay so so understand this he said um in verse

five and the devil take him up in the high mountain showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time and the devil said unto him all this power will i give thee

what do you say all this power will i give thee and the glory of them the glory of them what the glory of them kingdoms he's saying to jesus he's saying i will give you the power to

establish kingdoms and the glory that comes from kingdoms now i know you all know the one in matthew where it says if you'll fall down and worship me right here's what it says luke went into

more detail here's what he says all this power will i give thee and the glory of them and then he said this for that is delivered unto me and

to whomsoever i will i give it wait what satan said all of the power

to build kingdoms was delivered to me and i give it to whom so ever i will so now that brings two questions to our mind doesn't it what's the first

question who delivered it to him come on now trudy's trudy's at the train and at the station the train even got there yet who delivered it to him and what's the second question so so for those of you on youtube and

those of you on zoom we actually have some people live here in the office with us today so we're having a lot of fun by we i mean me okay so

so so so so question one who delivered it to him what's question number two all this power is delivered unto me and to whomsoever i will i give it here's the question who does he will to give it to who does satan want to give the power

to build kingdoms to so let's answer the first question first who gave satan the power to build kingdoms come on my people come on my people talk to me on youtube talk to me on youtube who gave

about who gave satan the power to build kingdoms and some people make the mistake and say well god did god didn't give satan the power to build kingdoms god gave god gave adam and eve

or god gave adam because adam and eve's name was adam before adam named her eve god called their name adam adam later called her name god gave the power of kingdom

to adam when did he do that genesis chapter 1 27-28 and the lord god commanded the man saying um

be fruitful and multiply replenish the earth subdue it and have do minion the word kingdom is a compound word that means king's

dominion what is a kingdom it is the king's dominion what's a dominion it's a realm it's a jurisdiction god said here's what i'm going to do i'm passing my authority onto you

now you have authority because i gave it to you as long as you remain under my authority as long as you remain under my authority you will remain in authority it's all good we've all heard phones

ring before it's gonna be okay so if as long as you remain under my authority you will remain in authority okay so i'm gonna tell you this and if you're taking notes this is a

writer downer y'all ready authority is always an alignment issue authority is always an alignment issue what does that mean that means god is a

king right so that's god's crowns god is a king he makes us kings and queens we get a crown under us he puts our

assignment okay so when god puts our assignment under us when god puts our assignment under us i have as long as i yield my life to god's

sovereign authority i have sovereign authority over my assignment when i am yielded to god my assignment has to yield to me but when i say you know what god

um you know what you're asking me to do stuff i don't want to do and um and um like your timelines aren't working for me i want stuff now and you want stuff you want me to have stuff later like i'm over this i'm gonna go do my own thing

and so as soon as i say nope i'm not gonna be there anymore i'm gonna go over here and do my own thing so as soon as i do that what happens is when i remove myself from under god's authority i can

do that i have god has given me god has given me enough autonomy that i can decide to mess up my vibe board um

so god god's given me enough authority that enough autonomy that i can decide i don't want to be under his authority anymore because god doesn't want a bunch of robots he wants people who are happily and joyfully yielded to his

assignment for them so when i say i'm not going to be under here anymore now i am no long my assignment is no longer under me i no longer have any authority over this

assignment but that's not all i also so this is my so this is my my assignment is where my provision comes from like it's where my provision comes from

god's authority is where my protection comes from that's why when god made adam and eve god made adam and eve he put them in the garden of eden the word garden means enclosure that's a protected place

that's the protection eden means pleasure that's the provision that's where all the provision was so the garden of eden was god's protected place of pleasure and understand this when we decide we are no longer going to be under god's

authority guess what god had to do god had to remove adam and eve from the garden why they no longer they no longer had the protection and provision of god why because they stopped yielding to his authority

and so now i have no protection all the fiery darts of the enemy all of his arrows i'm i'm open game for the enemy and the only thing that's under me now

is trouble because i remove myself from my assignment you know who this reminds me of this reminds me of king solomon king solomon he when he started his life when he started his life he started his life over here

and then he married all these heathen women and then when after he married all these he than women he let them turn his heart away from god and then he got over here he's like you know over here he wrote the book of proverbs over here he wrote the book of

ecclesiastes all his vanity and vexation of spirit right what does vanity and vex say everything's a waste and everything's a disaster right that's because you got yourself out from under the protection

of god and you removed yourself from over the provision of god and so what happens at the end of his life at the end of ecclesiastes says you know what

the theme of ecclesiastes is this if you live your life for life under heaven you have wasted your life and you've tortured your soul that is the theme of the book of ecclesiastes but then at the end of his life he said okay

i blew it for a while but i'm not gonna i was i i may have lived a lot of my life here but i ain't gonna die here and he comes back over here at the end of his life and he says let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter fear god keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man that's how the book of

ecclesiastes ends he said what why did solomon write the book of ecclesiastes hey he's saying you don't have to make the same stupid mistakes that the wisest man who ever lived made don't hey

agmandino said there are three kinds of people in the world there are those who learn from their own experience these are wise that was solid there are those that learn from the experience of others these are happy there are those who learn neither from their own experience or the experience

of others these are fools don't be a fool right that's the word so so it says so the question is

the first question was who gave him who gave satan the power to d to deliver kingdoms was adam and eve second question was who does he want to deliver it to who do you think satan is more interested in delivering the power to

build kingdoms to his children are god's children and by the way don't don't be one of these simple-minded people don't think one satan is one of these simple i mean don't think don't be one of these simple-minded people that think all

humans are children of god they are not you do remember jesus said to the pharisees you are of your father the devil and the works of your father you will do

god is not everybody's father god is the father of those who receive christ jesus death burial and resurrection as a full propitiation for their sin by faith that he's their father he's not the father of the

religious he's not the father of the church-goer he's not the f he's the father of those who have yielded his kingdom plan what is his kingdom plan you yield to the you yield to the provision he made and stop trying to

make your own provision i i don't want anybody to get it twisted like you can make up your own rules but they'll only work for you until they stop working and they will stop working can i get a witness while my people wear my people

okay so it says it says um uh and the devil said unto him all this power will i give thee and the glory of them for that is delivered unto me the power of kingdoms is delivered unto me and to whomsoever i

will i give it huh so satan is more interested in giving the power to build kingdoms to his children than to god's children now we know why

there are so many evil people who are rich because satan has given them the power and the authority that god gave adam and eve in the garden of eden and adam and

eve abdicated it but guess what when christ died on the cross he took back the keys to the kingdom of heaven see see here's here's the problem there's so much of the bible we don't

understand because we're so western in our ideology and so we take our western ideology and we superimpose it over scripture and then we try to make the

bible mean something western it doesn't so stop doing that it means what it means it says what it says and i love what my daughter says it can never say what it's never said it

can never mean what it's never meant right so um interestingly enough interestingly enough satan wants to give

the power to build kingdoms by the way he's been doing that for millennium millennia i'm not sure which one's plural millennia i think it's millennia he's been doing that for millennia thousands of years he's been empowering

his children to build kingdoms that's why so many evil people are rich and so many of god's people are broke see now here's here's the problem though here's what you don't understand satan cannot stop

block your blessing from you he cannot do it he doesn't have the power to do it but he does have the power to mental block you from your blessing you know how he does that

he does that by making you think the bible is a book of magic the bible's not a magical book the bible's a practical book it has miracles in it but guess what we don't get to determine when the miracles happen that's god's

part we can't do his part he won't do our part the practical stuff god ain't going to do that for us the stuff he told us to do he ain't going to do that for us and here's the problem see the only

thing you've ever learned in church probably about finance you got to be a good steward and you have to tithe and give an offering i believe in tithing i believe in giving an offering i believe in all that

but i'm going to tell you now i may be the first person to ever tell you this but i'm going to have to tell you the truth now if you do the right thing with 10 of your money and you do the wrong thing with 90 percent of your money you're

gonna be a broke tither did i say that too fast you're gonna be a broke tither and we got a lot of broke tithers because they do the right thing with 10 of their money and the other ninety percent they

everything they do with it is wrong but lord i tithe why am i not why am i not blessed uh god said because i tried to give you a field i offered you a field which is a family business by the way when god brought the children of israel

into the promised land he gave them a plot of land and that plot of land was not just some place to live it was a family business it was the place they were to build the family business and here's what god said

he said the land shall not be sold forever the land is mine saith the lord god intended for wealth to compound generationally among his people

but we take the american way of life and we act like it's like we're doing our we're doing the world of favor my son's 18 he's got to get out there and figure it out that is dumb as a box of rocks

and as far from the bible as shanghai is from new york city there's no place in scripture that says a man shall leave his father and his mother when he turneth 18.

it ain't in there it says a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his wife and they twain shall be one flesh

isaac was 40 years old when he got married and up until that time he lived with his dad oh my goodness that's such a long time you know what your problem is you've been too americanized and you hadn't put

enough bible in you way too much tv not enough bible see the reality is god has established for his people a plan what is that a good man leaves an inheritance to his

children's children our children are not supposed to start from scratch our children i want my kids to have it as hard as i did bless god because i i i pull myself up by my

bootstraps and bless god i'm just taking care of business okay but the problem is you're assuming the fact that you started from scratch is why you're doing well perhaps you're doing well in spite of the fact that you started from scratch

how much better would you be doing had your parents followed what the scripture says have my parents follow have they known that some preacher actually taught them okay the see the scripture see we get

confused because we're reading the bible in silos and we're trying to understand and interpret scripture in isolation there are no isolated doctrines in scripture when the scripture says lay not up for

yourselves treasures upon the earth where mouth and rust does corrupt and thieves do break through and steal but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither mothman rest is corrupt neither worth nor what these do break through and steal you see the bible said it right there don't lay up treasures on earth it didn't say don't

let treasures on earth it said don't let treasure for yourself on earth i'm not supposed to lay up treasures for myself on earth i'm supposed to lay up treasures for my son my daughter my grandchildren my unborn grandchild

that's what i'm supposed to be laying up treasure for the scripture says if a man not provide not for his own especially for those of his own house he's denied the faith and is worse than an infidel it doesn't say if a man doesn't attend

church he's denied the faces worth an infidel i'm not saying you shouldn't attend church i'm just saying i'm not i'm just telling you what the bible says the bible said it didn't say if a man doesn't pray

three times a day facing to the east he's denied the faith in his worst infidel here's what it says if a man provide not for his own especially for those of his own house he has denied the

faith and is worse than an infidel why here's why because the hebrew word for father the hebrew word for father is the word

waiting for that thing to disappear is the word abba it's two letters aleph bait every hebrew letter has a meaning so the letter that represents the aleph is the letter that represents god it's

the beginning of the word elohim el shaddai right um so um that represents god this represents house bait is the house and we we knew that bait is the house

because we heard the word bait we've heard we say bethlehem but it's actually bait legend right beit lecha means the house of bread why because bait is a house and lacham is bread bella and so we say bethlehem but it's

actually beit lechem right so it's two words so god in the house the word abba means god in the house if you are a man and you don't provide for your own house you are misrepresenting god to your

family that's why it says he's denied the faith in his words in infidel why because god is the progenitor of the house he's a promoter of the house he's the provider of the house he's a protector of the house and he's not doing those things he's misrepresenting

god to espec to his family i i i know i'm coming at you all kind of strong today because here's the problem we don't understand kingdom now jesus said jesus jesus did not capitulate to

satan's idea he said to whomever i will i give it but see jesus knew who he was and he knew who he was based on whose he was so he was not confused he said i don't need to get the power of kingdom from you already have the power of the king of kingdoms i'm the king of kings

i'm the real king you're a fake king why would i do what you say so you remember over in matthew chapter 16 there's some there are some passages in scripture that unless you read the

entire bible i'm gonna tell you some of your prop some of your problems you you're trying to get through the bible in a year but it ain't getting through to you in 10 years can i get a witness am i telling the

truth and so the problem is we need to treat the bible more like a school zone instead of an interstate right slow down so some learning can take place and stop trying to get through it so fast okay anyway there's nothing wrong with reading through the bible that's not my

point my point is like let's let it get through to us right so jesus came to his disciples in matthew chapter 16. he said

who do men say that i am disciple said well some say you're alive some say you're um um jeremiah john the baptist one of the prophets he said who do you say that i am peter said oh thou art the christ the son of the living god

you got it right and jesus said blessed are you simon bar jonas by jonah simon bar jonas simon barbing's son simon son of jonas for flesh and blood is not revealed unto you why

because flesh and blood cannot reveal to you that you need christ and i know people talk about winning people to christ people don't win people to christ no man can come unto me except the spirit of god draw him like god does

that work one water another one soweth another water god gives the increase we need to stop trying to act like it depends on us god tells us that we should witness but he doesn't tell me to produce an outcome anyway that's another story for

a different another conversation for a different day so he said you're the christ is the son of living god he said he said blessed are you simon son of jonah because flesh and blood is not revealed in you why do you say it because flesh and blood can't reveal it unto you but my father which

is in heaven has revealed it unto you you actually know who i am and then he said and you are peter that word peter is petra it's a little stone you're a little stone and on this rock this big boulder what big boulder the

the boulder of the truth that i am the christ the son of living god i will build my church christ was not building the church on peter that's like that's so that's lunacy it doesn't make any sense christ wasn't

saying i'm going to build my church on peter people oh when you get to the door peter's going to open the gate saint peter ain't opening no gates in heaven what are you talking about that's goofy that is not bible he said on this rock what rock the rock

of the truth that i am the christ the son of living god i will build my church and then he said and the gates of hell will not prevail against now here's the question i want to ask you are gates a

an offensive mechanism or a defensive mechanism is a gate an offensive mechanism or a defensive mechanism what is it it's a defensive mechanism a gate is defensive it protects things from getting in or keeps things from getting

out but it's not a you don't attack somebody with a gate so so the gates of hell have to be first of all the gates of hell are not in hell

because a gate to a property is never in the property it's always outside around the property are y'all tracking or am i talking too fast a gate is something that's outside the property on the boundaries of the property right it's

not in the property so the gates of hell are not in hell but the gates of hell are designed to keep something in or keep something out or both are y'all tracking so when christ said on this rock i will

build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against them i believe the gates of hell are in our minds so what do the gates of hell do in our mind they either keep the truth of god's word out

or they build a wall of protection or what the bible calls a stronghold around a lie a wall of protection around a lie that we believe those are the gates of hell and what's interesting jesus said to the

pharisees he said hey he said you traverse land and sea to make one proselyte and then when you've converted him you make him what twofold the child

of hell why did he say that because how are they twofold the child of hell well without christ already lost but now you've given them your religious dogma and now they think they're not lost so they're

twofold the child of hell then he said he said and i give unto you the keys to the kingdom of heaven this is this is getting this is getting ready to get

like wait wait wait i feel like i feel like i feel like i'm in an inception or something he said he said i give unto you the keys to the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever

you loosen you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in him like why are you messing with me like i don't i don't know when you read that i feel like if it makes your brain hurt because he's talking about hell he's

talking about heaven and now he's talking about earth and he's talking about he's talking about gates of hell kings of heaven and loose and stuff on earth and now and every time i read that when i was a child i was like well what do you mean if you loose on earth we loosed in heaven and what you bind on earth will

be bound don't you mean what you loose in heaven will be loosed on earth that seems like it would make more sense right not what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven shouldn't i loose it in heaven first no you loosen it on earth first so i've given you the keys to the kingdom of heaven okay if the

gates of hell are in your mind what are key what do keys do they open things and if something's locked in a key sets it free oh do you remember what jesus said to

the jews in john chapter 8 he said if you continue in my words then are you my disciples indeed or my disciples in truth and you shall know

the truth watch this now and the truth shall make you free oh what just happened the keys the keys are truth that unlock

the strong the gates of the strongholds that are protecting the lies that we believe and they let the lie out and they let the truth in and then and only then

can we be free thank you jesus now i get it and so see what y'all don't like like people think people like i'm a businessman

and our business does very very well very very well to the tune of very very wellness okay and our business makes our business makes a lot of money but i'm going to tell you right now our business makes a

lot of money because we have yielded our businesses to the truth of god's word and the truth of god's word are the keys to the kingdom it's interesting that he said you shall know the truth and the truth shall

make you free it doesn't say set you free you got to get this now it says make you free why is that important because when it says it shall make you free that means the truth is the act of participant and you are the passive

recipient the thing that you're here to do is to activate the truth see i'm supposed to uncover the truth and then i'm supposed to fall in love with the truth and then i'm supposed to apply the truth and then

the truth does the work and all i got to do is get the truth in me if i get the truth in me the truth is going to make me free i don't have to make me free the reason you have to hustle and grind is because you are trying to do it with your own strength i

don't have to i don't have to build a business in my own strength god tells me all this stuff in the bible if i build my business this way this will happen and i am not i'm not being sanctimonious i'm not i'm not trying to make somebody religious i'm just telling you i have

been applying the word of god to my finances for decades i've been applying it to my business for over a decade of almost two decades and i'm telling you all of the blessings that come in my business are a direct result of applying

biblical principles to my business and if you do the same thing the same thing like god's principles don't care who you are they're god's automation and so

the reason so many evil people are broke and so many of god's people are i mean the reason so many evil people are rich so many of god's people were broke is because satan has been empowering his people with kingdom prince kingdom building principles since the beginning

of time in fact i'm going to prove to you and i'm going to end because i've been ranting for like a maniac for 40 minutes and so i'm going to go ahead and wrap my i mean my brother bought me flying lessons for my birthday yesterday and we

flew over fort myers and downtown fort myers and some island down there and it was great and so we circled around and so i'm circling the field and i'm about to bring it in for a landing um

and so i i did say this it says the true shall make you free what does that remind you of you know what it reminds me of it reminds me of isaiah chapter 55 seek ye the lord while he may be found call you upon him while he's near let

the wicked forsake his way in the unrighteous man his thoughts let him return unto the lord you will have mercy upon him and to our god and he will abundantly pardon then what does it say it says as the heavens are higher than the earth who are my ways higher than

your ways and my thoughts and your thoughts as the rain cometh down in the snow from heaven and it watereth the earth watch this now and maketh it bring forth and bud when the

rain and snow come down from heaven and water the earth it makes the earth bring forth and blood the earth doesn't have a choice the earth cannot resist what the rain and snow do to it

in the world the flesh and the devil cannot resist when you allow the word of god to rain down into this body of yours that's made from the dust of the earth that causes the seed that god placed inside of you when he told you to be

fruitful and multiply to go out and cause it to produce fruit and then you'll end up like a tree planted by the rivers of waters and wrote in psalms chapter one that bringeth forth his fruit and season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he'd do it shall

prosper why because the word of god made it so everything god has ever done he's done through his word everything god will ever do he'll do through his word if god's gonna do something in you for you or through you he will do it through

his word and the more diligence of a student of his word you become and the more you practically apply it to your life the more you are using the keys to the kingdom of heaven to unlock the

strongholds that have been blocking your you from your blessing not your blessing from you you from your blessing because you had all these mental blocks and now the word of god's making you

free it's making you bring forth and bud so you you may not have noticed this but if you go back to the beginning of time and you start reading the bible you'll see that god told adam he to be fruitful

multiply adam and eve yielded to satan didn't resisted god and what happened they got kicked out of the garden of eden they had two sons cain and abel cain slew abel

god gave eve another son his name was seth the scripture says in his days that men began to call upon the name of the lord it's in genesis go read it right

you will notice if you'll follow the line of cain and you'll follow the line of seth you will notice that cain's descendants started building kingdoms

sometimes they call them cities but a city in the bible is not a city like tampa's city how do i know that because cities had kings we know in in um genesis chapter 14

it calls sodom and gomorrah cities right but it also talks about the king of sodom and the king of gomorrah were taken captive by five other kings so a city is interchangeable for a kingdom and we see as we see we we see

the descendants of kane were um um oh what was the guy's name who um lamech lamech lamak killed somebody also right and then it talks about the

descendants of uh jubal kane tubal kane and um the other one anyway it says that they one of them was the father of every artificer

this is metallurgy this is making coins this is making weapons they started building kingdoms around weapons around money then you got one that was in real estate they had they had land and the other one

had cattle so they began to build kingdoms the descendants of cain began to build kingdoms the descendants of seth began to build altars because say kate and by the way just to

give you an aside something to think about as you're reading the bible you will notice that every time without exception in the bible god got ready to deliver his people from bondage he would always take

the person who was going to be the deliverer and he would put them in the palace with a heathen king oftentimes taking out of them out of their protective religious and home in their environment so that they could

learn the kingdom principles that would give them the ability to lead god's people into freedom he did it with joseph he did with moses he did with nehemiah he did it with ezra he did with daniel shadrach meshach and abednego

like all through scripture even king david be after he was anointed he spent years running from saul and then what did he do he was working for the king of the philistines before he ever ascended to throne in israel

why he sent his people back to where the principles were to get the principles and then come out and use those principles the bible is full of truth that we never think about

because we're too busy in a hurry trying to get through it let it get through to us the reason so many evil people are broke and so many of god's people i mean so many evil people are rich and so many of god's people are broke is because satan has been empowering his children

to build kingdoms for millennia and god jesus has been attempting to give us keys i shouldn't use the word attempting because he doesn't have to attack but he's been offering us the keys to the kingdom of heaven so we can establish his kingdom on earth

for two thousand years we're like oh lord i don't want any keys i just want to wait until i get to heaven and when we all get to heaven what a day let the dare rejoicing start now as you're applying the print kingdom

principles from god's word to your life so you can be blessed to be a blessing and be a light in a dark world and show this world what real kingdom living is

like because i got folks i got folks who are no more saved than a man on the moon is made out of green cheese and they come and pay me to learn how to build businesses because i've learned

some principles from people in the world and i've gone back and cross-referenced it with principles in scripture and i've built my business based on biblical principles and my life is like outrageously blessed

as a direct result of that and i have the ability to be a blessing so hopefully that answers your question and when we go back and we look at and i got to wrap it up i don't know why y'all

don't listen faster when we go back we go back to um ecclesiastes chapter 2 verse 11 and 12 which we read a couple weeks ago for god give it to the man that's good insight with wisdom and knowledge and

joy wisdom knowledge and joy all those are good man's good insight with knowledge and joy but to the center he gives which means he's going to give him something different travail which is hard labor to gather

and to heap up that's the hustle on the grind why that he may give to him that is good before god god used satan to empower his people to build kingdoms

so they could pack it stack it and hand it over to those people who are prepared in their mind with the keys to the kingdom to build the kingdom of god on earth let's be those people stay blessed by the best and by the grace of god i

look forward to seeing you all next wednesday by the way y'all i i this was fun for me hopefully y'all got a lot out of it but i'm gonna tell you something now that i taught you that part

the first thing that came to your mind was but myron what about it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven because you know that's in the bible right that's in the bible and by the way i'm going to tell you something that you

don't know that most people don't know because they oh that's talking about a gated in israel where there's and i was in israel and i asked our guy is there a gate in israel that's lower called the eye of the nino and he didn't know about it so

so i'm going to tell you that is talking about a literal camel and a literal needle okay it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle that is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven so next wednesday since that's

what you brought up since you had to bring it up i cracked myself up okay um next week i am going to teach you how you thread a needle with a camel i'm going to teach

you what that passage means because i've heard that passage preached dozens of times i've never heard anybody other than me teach the passage like as it sits without trying to make

it mean something i'm going to teach you what it means when it says it's easy for a camera to go through the eye of a needle then it's for a rich man to enter into the king of heaven so you can stop being afraid of getting rich because it means you're not going to go to heaven because that is definitely not what that's talking about so next week you're

going to learn how to thread a needle with a camel all right stay blessed by the best i'll see y'all next week
