Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, open your Bible.
2 Corinthians, chapter 8,chapter 9, and we're going to
receive the tithe and theoffering this morning.
Amen.
Everybody say tithe and theoffering this morning.
Amen.
I came prepared to give praisethe Lord.
2 Corinthians, chapter 8 and 9,really two of my favorite
chapters in the Bible, as wellas in the New Testament 2
(00:24):
Corinthians, chapter 8 andchapter 9.
And this is a teaching from theApostle Paul, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, qualified to becalled the Word of God.
I'll try that one more time.
This is a teaching from theApostle Paul, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, qualified to becalled what?
(00:46):
The Word of God.
Amen.
And so it is in the canon ofthe scriptures.
So the Bible, is God talking toyou?
Amen.
Everybody say the Bible.
Is God talking to me?
Look at the person next to youand say the Bible, is God
talking to you and say youbetter pay attention.
(01:09):
Amen, god's talking to you.
And so 2 Corinthians, chapter 8and 9, these are two amazing
chapters, but really this is apart of what we would call
Paul's revelation.
Paul's revelation is what theapostle Paul received
post-resurrection, after Jesuswas raised from the dead, and he
(01:29):
wrote over half the NewTestament in the light of what
happened on the cross and theresurrection of Christ, the new
covenant, the blood covenant.
So this is a part of Paul'srevelation.
So a lot of times people talkabout Paul's revelation, they
talk about other parts, but thisis a pretty major part of
Paul's revelation.
So a lot of times people talkabout Paul's revelation, they
talk about other parts, but thisis a pretty major part of
Paul's revelation.
Second Corinthians, chaptereight and chapter nine.
(01:51):
So if you have your Bible there, you want to look at this.
It says in second Corinthians,chapter eight we could begin
here with verse two, where he'stalking to the churches about
their generous giving, abouttheir what, their generous
giving.
Verse 2 is a very interestingscripture.
(02:11):
He says you had a great trialof affliction, the abundance of
their joy.
They had deep poverty andabounded to the riches of their
liberality.
He says they gave beyond theirpower.
They gave and they begged us.
In verse 4 he said to receivethe offering.
In other words, he said thesepeople had a great trial and
(02:33):
said in the middle of theirtrial, they got what?
Real happy.
That's pretty unusual, isn't it?
They're going through troublethemselves and they said, well,
we're going to get happy.
Then it says they had poverty.
But it doesn't say they hadpoverty.
It says they had deep poverty.
In other words, these poorpeople and in the middle of
their own personal financialneed.
(02:54):
It says they gave generously.
So a lot of times people say,well, when I get rich I'm going
to be a generous giver.
Well, these people reallystruggle financially.
And paul says I'm amazed atyour joy and your generosity.
He says, really, they gavebeyond their power, to the point
that paul probably said, well,you need the money worse than I
(03:15):
do, but they actually need togive it more than paul need to
receive it.
Keep going there, all right.
So he says they gave beyondtheir power.
So their generosity.
And Paul says this in verse 5.
He says they gave their ownselves to God.
Then they gave to us by thewill of God, verse 6.
(03:35):
He said we left Titus there toteach them, finish and use the
same grace also.
In other words, titus Paul'sassociate.
And so they said we're.
Paul said I'm going to leavetitus here to finish this grace.
What does that mean?
Well, some people started ingrace.
They just need somebody toteach them so they can go
further in grace.
And so the facets of the graceof god you'll not be able to
(03:59):
access if you don't haveteaching.
So titus stayed there.
If you don't have teaching, soTitus stayed there to teach him
why?
Because faith comes by hearing,hearing by the Word of God, and
if you're don't have any faith,then you won't participate in
the process of grace.
You won't know how to access it.
(04:22):
So Titus say that he saw howyou like to know how to access
this grace, I.
So here's what he says here.
He goes to verse 7 and he saysas you abound in everything he's
talking these believers youbound everything.
You bound in your faith, yourutterance, which you preaching,
your teaching, your knowledge,your diligence, your love does
(04:43):
see that you're bound in thisgrace also.
So what grace is he talkingabout here?
He's talking here about thegrace of giving or the grace of
generosity.
But he's not just talking aboutthe grace of giving.
Really, we're going to see.
He's talking about the grace ofgiving and receiving.
All right, let's try that onemore time.
(05:04):
So he's not just talking aboutthe grace of giving, he's
talking about how you can giveand receive because of the grace
of god.
Now here's the way the lord saidto me.
He said when you learn how toaccess this, one day you'll look
at your checkbook and sayamazing grace, checkbook.
(05:27):
And say amazing grace, amen.
In other words, the grace ofGod can affect you financially,
not just spiritually.
I mean I have amazing graceaffect you financially.
That means God's favor, or evenGod's ability or God's
resources or God's blessing onyour life.
He said I'm gonna show you howyou can abound in this grace.
Abound means excel, come to thefront and be known for.
(05:51):
Well, this must be gonna.
They must be coming out ofpoverty, they must be gonna come
into blessing, amen.
So he says I'm gonna show youhow to access the grace of God
in the area of your finances.
And then he goes on to versenine.
While you're here in the chapter, you know the grace of our Lord
, jesus Christ.
Though he was rich, yet foryour sake, she became poor, that
you, through his poverty, mightbe made.
(06:11):
What rich.
In other words, he said Jesuson the cross not only took your
sin, not only took your curse oryour shame, your sickness, but
he said he also became poor, orhe took your poverty Right.
He said so that you don't haveto be poor, no more.
And he said so that you couldbe rich.
(06:31):
Now I know the word richdisturbs a lot of people, but
the Bible says in Proverbs 10,22, the blessing of the Lord
makes us rich.
Let's try that one more time.
The blessing of the Lord makesus rich and adds no sorrow with
it.
What does that mean?
That means you're rich andhappy.
(06:53):
Unusual combination.
Believe it or not.
Amen, I'm rich and I'm happy.
So what's the word rich mean?
That means plenty, more thanenough.
It doesn't mean everybody'sgoing to have a Rolls Royce.
It just means you got more thanenough for yourself and you got
plenty to give away to others,to be a blessing to others.
In other words, you don't wantto have just enough money to
(07:15):
take care of yourself.
You want to have enough moneyso you can be a blessing, to
preach the gospel all over theworld in your lifetime.
Amen.
So the blessing of the lord.
Here he says that jesus becamepoor so you don't have to be
poor.
Christ redeemed us from thecurse of the law.
In that curse was poverty, sothat you could be what blessed,
(07:36):
coming in, blessed, going out.
Be the head and not the tail,be above and not beneath.
Be blessed in your, your body,blessed in your family, blessed
in your work, blessed in yourjob, blessed your dog.
Come on your cows.
Whatever you got blessed,everything's blessed.
You say where'd you get that?
The blessing of the Lord, amen,what do you call that Amazing
grace?
Everybody say amazing grace.
(08:00):
So Titus stayed there to teachthem that they don't have to be
poor.
No more, amen.
Praise the Lord.
Now to teach on it.
Dad Hagen pastored for 12 yearsand a Kenneth E Hagen.
Dad Hagen was like a spiritualfather to us for many, many
years.
But he said one of the churcheshe pastored he had to go back
(08:23):
and pastor it again.
He said Lord, how come I got togo pastor that church again?
The Lord said because youdidn't teach them on tithing and
giving, because you were afraidof what they would say about
you.
He said you wouldn't teach themthe word on tithing giving
(08:43):
because you were afraid they'dsay bad things about you, he
said.
But the Lord said what youreally did is you robbed them of
a blessing.
Now you're going to have to goback and pastor that church
again.
So you're going to have toteach them on the tithe and the
offering.
(09:03):
Think about that when you're atither.
Malachi says when you titheithe,god will open the windows of
heaven and pour out a blessing.
You don't have room enough toreceive it, amen, do you?
How many y'all could believethat happens in your life, that
god opens up things that wouldnot have been open, amen.
So dad hagen said he went backthere and teaching and he said
there was a farmer that came upto him and said I've gone to
(09:26):
church.
He said most of my life, hesaid, and I've always tithed.
He said but if anythingsupernatural has ever happened
to me financially, I don't knowit.
You know what that means.
That means I worked hard, I dowell, he said, but nothing
supernatural has ever happenedto me financially.
(09:48):
So Dad Higgins said well, nowlet's get into the scriptures
and let's study the scriptures,what the word has to say, so
that you can receive somethingsupernatural financially,
greater than just how hard youwork, greater than just how
smart you are.
The grace and the favor of Godcome upon your finances.
So he said, instead of justputting your money in the bucket
(10:11):
when it goes by, get thescriptures out on tithing, get
the word out on giving andsowing, and get that word out
and meditate on that and expectsupernatural results.
All right, you say why in theworld would you teach on
something like this at church?
Well, number one, because majorpart of Paul's revelation.
(10:32):
Yeah, I mean, I could just tearit out of the Bible if you
would prefer.
No, it's still in there andthere's a whole bunch of there
about it, amen.
And so when you're a tither,when you're a giver, if nobody
teaches you on it, sometimespeople give just out of habit
and don't really expectsupernatural results.
(10:53):
But when you got the word on ityou ought to say hold it just a
second.
I'm a tither, I'm qualified forthat blessing, right there,
come on, I'm a giver, I'm asower, I expect that kind of
blessing, amen.
And so he said that farmer leftcame back in about two weeks
with a big smile on his face andhe said for the first time in
(11:15):
my life, something supernaturalhappened to me financially.
Are y'all still with me?
In other words, you believe Godwants to do something
supernatural financially in yourlife?
He smiled how many of y'alllike to come back in a few weeks
and say, big smile on your face, something supernatural
happened to me financially?
In other words, I work hard,come on, and I do the best I can
(11:39):
, but something supernaturalhappened to me financially and I
access this grace.
Are going to second-gradechapter, not because I'm a show
you how to access this grace.
I'm a glad he went on the nextchapter, I.
He goes on the next chapter,chapter 9, and he says here's
(12:00):
how you access this grace.
And he says he calls yourgiving, he calls it sowing.
Y'all got second, matthew 9, 6.
All right, look at that.
This, I say he that sosparingly shall reap sparingly.
He that sows bountifully shallreap bountifully.
Verse 7 every man according ashe purposed in his heart.
(12:22):
So let him give, not grudginglyor of necessity, for God loves
what God loves a cheerful giver.
Look at verse eight.
And God is able.
All right, let's read that outloud together.
And God is able to make allgrace abound towards you.
Come on, everybody say me Godis able to make all grace abound
(12:46):
towards you, so that you alwayshave all sufficiency and all
things may abound to every goodwork.
Well, y'all should get happyalready.
Do you believe God has anyability in that area?
Concerning your finances, it'snot just up to you.
(13:07):
There is grace available foryour finances, so you don't have
to be broke, no more, you don'thave to struggle.
No more, come on, you can havemore than enough.
You can give more than you'veever given and still have more
than you've ever had.
Let me try that one more time.
I said you can give more thanyou've ever given and still have
more than you ever had.
In other words, god is notplanning on you giving yourself
(13:32):
broke.
Ah, the Lord said to me I didnot design giving for you to
decrease.
He said I designed tithing andgiving for you to increase and
open the windows of heaven.
Come on, so don't thinksubtraction.
(13:54):
When you're given, think whatmultiplication he's gonna
multiply.
Go ahead and smile just alittle bit.
Amen.
How many like to show up in thenext few weeks and say something
supernatural just happened tome financially?
And I give the glory to God.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
(14:14):
I said something supernaturalhappened to me financially.
Come on, don't act like it allcame from your work.
It came from the blessing ofthe Lord, it came from the grace
of God, amen.
So there's two areas, these twoareas that access the grace of
God in the area of your finances.
(14:36):
Somebody said well, how did you?
Well, when I was left home, mydaddy said there is a God and
I'm not him, which basicallymeant he was not going gonna be
giving me no money.
My daddy basically said youleave home, you get a job, you
(14:57):
learn how to work.
Come on, you develop excellencein your work, he said.
And then you better learn howto have faith in God, because I
will not be your source.
Furthermore, if he was mysource, I could be very limited,
but if God's my, my source, Icould be very limited, but if
God's my source, I could beunlimited.
Let's try that one more time.
Come on, if you make peopleyour source, come on, got the
(15:21):
lid on you.
But if God your source, godsaid whatever you can believe
for, if you can believe for youcould have amen.
So I had to study that becauseI had to keep my expectation on
God, he's my source.
How am I going to access thegrace of God in this area?
Two ways.
Just write this down.
I want you just remember thistwo ways you access the grace of
(15:43):
God in this area.
Number one is by yourconfession or by your saying.
Just two areas.
You say, you're saying andyou're sowing.
You're so.
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you're giving.
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you'retithing.
(16:04):
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you're giving.
You're saying and you're so.
In two main areas you accessthis grace, two main ways that
you access this grace.
Number one is how you talk.
Number two is how you give nowhow you talk, not just at church
(16:33):
, because most people controltheir mouth for a while at
church.
How you talk at home, how youtalk about your finances.
So I learned this from DadHagen never talk lack, he said,
because the Lord told him, ifyou talk lack, it will keep
money from coming to you.
Well, we certainly don't wantthat to happen, because you
(16:55):
already got a problem with lackand if you talk lack, it's gonna
keep money from coming to you.
So you're just gonna have morelack.
So I gotta change the way Italk if I'm gonna access this
grace.
Never talk lack.
Always say the money will come.
Y'all still with me here.
Come on, when you're facing achallenge financially, don't
(17:18):
talk lack, just do what.
Say the money will come.
Come on when you think aboutthat situation on, maybe you're
going to college, I gotgrandkids going to college.
Come on, say the money willcome.
You wanna buy a house?
Come on.
(17:38):
You got a house payment?
Come on, you need bettertransportation, the money will
come.
Or Dad Hagen would say sayy'all ready for this?
The 23rd Psalm, he would say,would say say the Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.
I Do not lack for ability, I donot lack for opportunity and I
(18:04):
never lack for money.
He said say the last one twice,I never lack for money.
He said say the last one twice,I never lack for money.
Because if you're havingconversation, people say about
the price of gas and I theeconomy, and you say the Lord is
my shepherd, I Do not lack forability, I never lack for
(18:27):
opportunity.
In other words, god alwaysgives me favor and opens the
right door at the right time andI never lack for opportunity.
In other words, god alwaysgives me favor and opens the
right door at the right time andI never lack for money.
I never lack for money.
Come on, I'm a tither, I'm agiver, and God opens the windows
of heaven and he pours out ablessing.
I don't have room enough toreceive it.
So my job is blessed, mybusiness is blessed, my house is
(18:48):
blessed, my family is blessed.
The blessing of the Lord isupon my life.
Come on, I don't just believeit, but I say it All right.
R Smith Wigglesworth would sayit this way.
He would say my father, god,always takes care of me in grand
(19:15):
style.
Who's your daddy now?
Listen, my father, god alwaystakes care of me in grand style.
When you talk lack, you'reaccusing God of child abuse.
Come on.
When you talk lack of wine,about the lack of of money,
you're saying God really don'tcare about me, he ain't taking
(19:36):
care of me.
But when you say words of faith, you're saying what my father,
god, always takes care of me ingrand style.
I drive the best where the best, eat the best, living the best,
go on the best vacations thebest.
Eat the best, live in the best,go on the best vacations with
my come on the best blessings.
In other words, you say well,it don't look that way.
(19:59):
Well, that's how you change.
The way it looks is by what yousay.
In other words, you're sayingwill change your economy.
So you don't just say that whenthe preacher is talking to you
about it, you say it at home.
Come on, if you start thinkingabout some of your cutting your
kitchen somewhere, you say thankyou, my father, god, always
take care of me in grand stylecome on, the Lord is my shepherd
(20:23):
.
Unlimited expectation,unlimited expectation.
Resources, I shall not lack.
I do not lack.
I do not lack for ability, I donot lack for opportunity.
I never lack for money.
You know, I just never lack formoney.
(20:46):
I am a tither, I'm a giver, I'ma blessing to others and money
always comes to me.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Now, if you want to stand outin the crowd, talk that way,
because most people ain'ttalking that way.
They're worried about money.
(21:06):
You know.
You say but I'm a tither, I gota covenant with God.
Amen, all right.
Here's the second tither.
I got a covenant with God, amen, all right.
Here's the second area.
One is the saying, the secondis in the sowing.
So Paul calls giving sowing.
That's an interesting term,isn't it?
He says when you're giving yourtithe, your offering your
sowing.
He said you're sowing.
(21:27):
I call it farming money.
If you could learn how to farmmoney, you could tell people.
I got a secret.
I have a money farm.
(21:50):
I learned from 2 Corinthians,chapter 9, how to access the
grace of God and do it throughmy sowing and he says and I got
two ways, I can do it.
I can do it sparingly or I cando it generously.
Isn't it great that God justleaves it up to you?
It's not like God's gonna gobroke if you don't participate.
(22:11):
It's not like God says please,please, I don't know if I'm
gonna make it.
No, god was doing real wellbefore he ever met you, believe
it or not.
He didn't teach you this systemto help himself.
He teaches us this to help usbecause the whole economy and
(22:32):
everything created by Godresponds to your saying and your
sowing.
How many like for somethingsupernatural happened to you
financially?
You just go why?
So you can testify.
Say, pastor, I gotta testify,look what the Lord has done, woo
hoo.
So he calls it sowing.
(22:52):
Now write this down realquickly.
Because he calls it sowing.
Now write this down realquickly because he calls it
sowing.
So sowing is not throwing.
You know what I mean, justthrowing money.
Because a farmer don't justdrive down the highway, roll the
windows down and go.
I'm ironing the sowing seed outon both sides, you know, in the
ditches everywhere.
No, he sows in a field that hasbeen prepared.
(23:12):
Or you could call it.
Strategic sowing, number oneharvest is you.
So, where you're receiving theword from a revelation,
knowledge, so in, so so, is notthrowing when you're s, you
always have two things workingfor you.
Number one you have a purposeand a promise.
(23:36):
The purpose of your sowing isso the preaching of the gospel
can go around the world.
People are going to get savedand healed and blessed, and I'm
a partner with that.
Amen, amen.
So your sowing has a what?
Purpose?
And it has what else?
A promise, what's the promiseto?
That gives me Expectation thatif I'll do my part, god's gonna
(24:08):
do his part.
Or you could say it this waythe seed is guaranteed.
In other words, there's no riskinvolved.
Boy, every one of your otherinvestments.
You better hold on to yourbritches, come on, because the
economy's going up.
Economy's going this way.
Which way is the economy goingto go?
And some people are staring atit every day.
Oh my God, what's happening tomy retirement?
(24:28):
Well, first of all, you need tobelieve God.
You'll live long enough forthat.
But anyway, what's happening?
Am I gonna have enough money,you know, when I get to be old?
All right, so they're watchingthe stock market.
Well, I have one investmentthat is absolutely 100%
guaranteed.
If I lost everything, Icouldn't lose that one.
(24:52):
What's that one?
When I give into the kingdom ofGod, I got a promise.
The seed is guaranteed.
I got the Word of God.
Come on and gotta move heavenand earth to make sure my
harvest comes to me.
Come on, guarantee all right.
(25:12):
Now let's look.
The sowing is giving.
We call giving sowing thesowing.
Let's set it this way yourgiving or your sowing is not
always just because the churchhas a need, in other words the
church.
We can present projects andthings at the church.
(25:34):
The ministry's doing youthankful for that and you give.
But sometimes you're so andyou're conscious of your knee,
or you're so in a seed.
Come on, you're soowing a seedin expectation.
(25:54):
I like to do it this way Doyour sowing where you're going.
Or your sowing will take youthere faster than your savings
will, or your sowing willoutperform your saving.
That doesn't mean that youdon't save.
That just means your sowingwill outperform your saving.
That doesn't mean that youdon't save.
(26:14):
That just means your sowingwill get you faster results than
just your saving.
Because your saving, come on,and Bible teaches, god will
bless your basket, bless yourstorehouse.
He's not opposed to you havingsavings, amen.
But your sowing will actuallytake you there faster than your
savings.
I've actually taken money outof savings so I could do some s,
some so, and God not onlyreplaced it back, but he
(26:36):
actually increased it.
Are y'all still with me?
So you got to have confidencein your soul and more than just
in your savings.
Thank you for your enthusiasm.
So he says these two thingsthat will determine.
Praise the Lord.
(26:58):
I mean, I saved up some money,you know, to buy a jet.
Years ago.
I saved up, probably I hadprobably a couple hundred
thousand dollars saved up and Iwas going to get a jet because
the way we're traveling, youknow, and exhausted.
So I said well, I need to get ajet.
So I went to Brother Hagin'scamp meeting and they were
taking him off and for his jethe didn't have one.
So I thought well, I've learnedabout faith from him, so I'm
(27:22):
just gonna give him my jet moneyas a seed.
What if that don't work?
Well, we had no jet, but I'msaving it.
But I figured my sword wouldtake me there faster.
So I went ahead and sold the200,000.
Then the devil said now youain't never gonna have.
(27:44):
I said no, that just means I'mgonna have a better jet.
Then I could have afforded comeon and be able to do the
maintenance, which is about$75,000 a month, and be able to
fly where I wanna fly.
Come on, are y'all still here?
What took me there?
Not my saving, but my sowing.
(28:05):
Come on, don't act like yoursowing ain't gonna take you
nowhere.
Come on, expect supernaturalresults.
My sowing is not gonna cause meto decrease.
My sowing is gonna bringincrease.
God said I'll fill your basket,I'll fill your storehouse.
I'll bless you coming in, Ibless you going out.
Come on, you're saying would bewhat you're saying part the Lord
(28:31):
is.
And then you use your authorityas a believer.
You say Satan, take your handsoff my money.
Are y'all ready for this one?
Go angels ministering spiritsand cause the money to come, for
(28:52):
the earth is the Lord's and thefullness thereof, and I'm an
heir of God and a joint heirwith Christ.
So the money will come.
Go ahead and lift your handsand thank God for that.
I said the money will come.
Ha ha ha.
Go ahead and laugh for a fewminutes.
I said the money will come.
(29:16):
Come on, get the doubt out.
I said get the fear out, comeon, I'm a tither, I'm a sower,
I'm a giver.
I sow generously and I reapgenerously.
Ha ha ha.
And God makes all grace abound.
Every favor and earthlyblessing comes to me in
abundance.
What's the two main areas?
(29:36):
My saying and my sowing.
My saying agrees with the wordmy God shall supply what All of
my need, according to his richesin glory.
Ha ha ha.
Now, y'all have heard me teachon this before, you know.
(29:57):
But faith comes by hearing andhearing.
Not just hearing once, but youhear it again Amen.
So after I gave, worked mygiving?
Somebody said the whole yougive through is the whole you
receive through.
All right, let's try that onemore time.
(30:19):
Picture this for a minute thehole that you give through is
the hole you receive through.
I decided just to bake a biggerhole.
Does that make sense to you?
In other words, I'm givingthrough a certain hole, you know
, and I said let's see if I canjust knock a little bigger hole.
(30:42):
And so while I was knocking abigger hole, then the devil said
to me doubt, fear really cameto my mind.
The devil said what are yougonna do if all that tithing and
giving don't work.
That thought came to my mind.
And when it hit my mind becauseI'd just given, I'd actually
(31:04):
overdone it A little giver'sremorse, a little anxiety.
I think I gave too much.
So I'm driving home and thedevil, what you gonna do if all
that giving don't work?
And I was like, oh, because I'mnot just giving personally, I'm
giving off the whole churchthat I pastor.
(31:25):
And I told them they all knew.
I said we don't just receivetithes and offerings, we
corporately give.
And our whole church went rightup high work for me
individually.
It would work for your business.
Thank you for your enthusiasm.
(31:47):
I said it worked for mepersonally, it worked for the
business and it worked for thechurch that I'm pastoring.
So we went up, kept going upand still going up Amen.
So what are you going to do ifall that giving don't work?
I mean you're looking at yourcheckbook going hmm, what are
(32:10):
you going to do if all yourgiving don't work?
And so I started thinking aboutit, thought, well, it's not
gonna be good.
And the Holy Spirit lived in me.
I thank God for the Holy Spirit.
He lived in me and he saidnever let the devil intimidate
you.
He said you say back to thedevil, mr devil, what you gonna
(32:40):
do when it does work?
All right, let's try that onemore time.
Come on, talk back to the devil,don't let the devil intimidate
you.
When you're a tither, come on,or you're so and generously, and
say, oh, you're gonna tither.
Come on or you're sowing,generously, and say, oh, you're
going to be in trouble.
Now you say, devil, what yougoing to do when God multiplies
my seed sown, makes all graceabound, opens the windows of
(33:03):
heaven, blesses me coming in andgoing out?
Devil, what you going to do?
Come on when I'm driving thebest, wearing the best, and tell
everybody the Lord is myshepherd, I shall not walk.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Hallelujah, what you gonna do?
Cuz I'm gonna testify, ha ha hathat I can give more than I've
(33:28):
ever given and still have morethan I've ever had.
I've ever given and still havemore than I've ever had.
Let's try this out over here.
I said I can give more thanI've ever given and still have
more than I've ever had.
Go ahead and laugh a fewminutes, say hi.
I said I can get more, neveryou.
But I'm not giving myself brokeJesus.
(33:49):
And when I give, it's gonnacome back.
Press down, shaking togetherand running.
Well, lift your hands up andthank God.
Ha ha ha, come on, thank theLord.
Thank you, lord, for yourgoodness and your mercy.
Hallelujah, let's say it outloud together the Lord is my
shepherd.
I shall not want.
(34:10):
I do not lack.
I do not lack for ability, I donot lack for opportunity.
I never lack for money.
I never lack for money.
My Father, god, always takescare of me in grand style.
I give generously, I receivegenerously, I receive generously
(34:33):
.
God makes all grace aboundtowards me.
I have all sufficiency in allthings.
In the name of Jesus, satan,take your hands off of my money.
Go angels ministering spiritsand cause the money to come, for
the earth is the Lord's and thefullness thereof.
(34:56):
Go angels ministering spiritsand cause the money to come, for
the earth is the Lord's and thefullness thereof.
I'm an heir of God, I'm a jointheir with Christ, and the money
will come.
I said the money will come.
Houses and lands come into myhands.
Give the Lord a shout.
Hallelujah, woo Woo, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha.
Amen, man, I had so much fundoing that.
(35:21):
How many believe the word inthat area of the Bible.
All right, open your Bible.
2 Corinthians, chapter 8,chapter 9, and we're going to
receive the tithe and theoffering this morning.
Amen.
Everybody say tithe and theoffering this morning.
Amen.
I came prepared to give praisethe Lord.
2 Corinthians, chapter 8 and 9,really two of my favorite
chapters in the Bible, as wellas in the New Testament 2
(00:24):
Corinthians, chapter 8 andchapter 9.
And this is a teaching from theApostle Paul, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, qualified to becalled the Word of God.
I'll try that one more time.
This is a teaching from theApostle Paul, inspired by the
Holy Spirit, qualified to becalled what?
(00:46):
The Word of God.
Amen.
And so it is in the canon ofthe scriptures.
So the Bible, is God talking toyou?
Amen.
Everybody say the Bible.
Is God talking to me?
Look at the person next to youand say the Bible, is God
talking to you and say youbetter pay attention.
(01:09):
Amen, god's talking to you.
And so 2 Corinthians, chapter 8and 9, these are two amazing
chapters, but really this is apart of what we would call
Paul's revelation.
Paul's revelation is what theapostle Paul received
post-resurrection, after Jesuswas raised from the dead, and he
(01:29):
wrote over half the NewTestament in the light of what
happened on the cross and theresurrection of Christ, the new
covenant, the blood covenant.
So this is a part of Paul'srevelation.
So a lot of times people talkabout Paul's revelation, they
talk about other parts, but thisis a pretty major part of
Paul's revelation.
So a lot of times people talkabout Paul's revelation, they
talk about other parts, but thisis a pretty major part of
Paul's revelation.
Second Corinthians, chaptereight and chapter nine.
(01:51):
So if you have your Bible there, you want to look at this.
It says in second Corinthians,chapter eight we could begin
here with verse two, where he'stalking to the churches about
their generous giving, abouttheir what, their generous
giving.
Verse 2 is a very interestingscripture.
(02:11):
He says you had a great trialof affliction, the abundance of
their joy.
They had deep poverty andabounded to the riches of their
liberality.
He says they gave beyond theirpower.
They gave and they begged us.
In verse 4 he said to receivethe offering.
In other words, he said thesepeople had a great trial and
(02:33):
said in the middle of theirtrial, they got what?
Real happy.
That's pretty unusual, isn't it?
They're going through troublethemselves and they said, well,
we're going to get happy.
Then it says they had poverty.
But it doesn't say they hadpoverty.
It says they had deep poverty.
In other words, these poorpeople and in the middle of
their own personal financialneed.
(02:54):
It says they gave generously.
So a lot of times people say,well, when I get rich I'm going
to be a generous giver.
Well, these people reallystruggle financially.
And paul says I'm amazed atyour joy and your generosity.
He says, really, they gavebeyond their power, to the point
that paul probably said, well,you need the money worse than I
(03:15):
do, but they actually need togive it more than paul need to
receive it.
Keep going there, all right.
So he says they gave beyondtheir power.
So their generosity.
And Paul says this in verse 5.
He says they gave their ownselves to God.
Then they gave to us by thewill of God, verse 6.
(03:35):
He said we left Titus there toteach them, finish and use the
same grace also.
In other words, titus Paul'sassociate.
And so they said we're.
Paul said I'm going to leavetitus here to finish this grace.
What does that mean?
Well, some people started ingrace.
They just need somebody toteach them so they can go
further in grace.
And so the facets of the graceof god you'll not be able to
(03:59):
access if you don't haveteaching.
So titus stayed there.
If you don't have teaching, soTitus stayed there to teach him
why?
Because faith comes by hearing,hearing by the Word of God, and
if you're don't have any faith,then you won't participate in
the process of grace.
You won't know how to access it.
(04:22):
So Titus say that he saw howyou like to know how to access
this grace, I.
So here's what he says here.
He goes to verse 7 and he saysas you abound in everything he's
talking these believers youbound everything.
You bound in your faith, yourutterance, which you preaching,
your teaching, your knowledge,your diligence, your love does
(04:43):
see that you're bound in thisgrace also.
So what grace is he talkingabout here?
He's talking here about thegrace of giving or the grace of
generosity.
But he's not just talking aboutthe grace of giving.
Really, we're going to see.
He's talking about the grace ofgiving and receiving.
All right, let's try that onemore time.
(05:04):
So he's not just talking aboutthe grace of giving, he's
talking about how you can giveand receive because of the grace
of god.
Now here's the way the lord saidto me.
He said when you learn how toaccess this, one day you'll look
at your checkbook and sayamazing grace, checkbook.
(05:27):
And say amazing grace, amen.
In other words, the grace ofGod can affect you financially,
not just spiritually.
I mean I have amazing graceaffect you financially.
That means God's favor, or evenGod's ability or God's
resources or God's blessing onyour life.
He said I'm gonna show you howyou can abound in this grace.
Abound means excel, come to thefront and be known for.
(05:51):
Well, this must be gonna.
They must be coming out ofpoverty, they must be gonna come
into blessing, amen.
So he says I'm gonna show youhow to access the grace of God
in the area of your finances.
And then he goes on to versenine.
While you're here in the chapter, you know the grace of our Lord
, jesus Christ.
Though he was rich, yet foryour sake, she became poor, that
you, through his poverty, mightbe made.
(06:11):
What rich.
In other words, he said Jesuson the cross not only took your
sin, not only took your curse oryour shame, your sickness, but
he said he also became poor, orhe took your poverty Right.
He said so that you don't haveto be poor, no more.
And he said so that you couldbe rich.
(06:31):
Now I know the word richdisturbs a lot of people, but
the Bible says in Proverbs 10,22, the blessing of the Lord
makes us rich.
Let's try that one more time.
The blessing of the Lord makesus rich and adds no sorrow with
it.
What does that mean?
That means you're rich andhappy.
(06:53):
Unusual combination.
Believe it or not.
Amen, I'm rich and I'm happy.
So what's the word rich mean?
That means plenty, more thanenough.
It doesn't mean everybody'sgoing to have a Rolls Royce.
It just means you got more thanenough for yourself and you got
plenty to give away to others,to be a blessing to others.
In other words, you don't wantto have just enough money to
(07:15):
take care of yourself.
You want to have enough moneyso you can be a blessing, to
preach the gospel all over theworld in your lifetime.
Amen.
So the blessing of the lord.
Here he says that jesus becamepoor so you don't have to be
poor.
Christ redeemed us from thecurse of the law.
In that curse was poverty, sothat you could be what blessed,
(07:36):
coming in, blessed, going out.
Be the head and not the tail,be above and not beneath.
Be blessed in your, your body,blessed in your family, blessed
in your work, blessed in yourjob, blessed your dog.
Come on your cows.
Whatever you got blessed,everything's blessed.
You say where'd you get that?
The blessing of the Lord, amen,what do you call that Amazing
grace?
Everybody say amazing grace.
(08:00):
So Titus stayed there to teachthem that they don't have to be
poor.
No more, amen.
Praise the Lord.
Now to teach on it.
Dad Hagen pastored for 12 yearsand a Kenneth E Hagen.
Dad Hagen was like a spiritualfather to us for many, many
years.
But he said one of the churcheshe pastored he had to go back
(08:23):
and pastor it again.
He said Lord, how come I got togo pastor that church again?
The Lord said because youdidn't teach them on tithing and
giving, because you were afraidof what they would say about
you.
He said you wouldn't teach themthe word on tithing giving
(08:43):
because you were afraid they'dsay bad things about you, he
said.
But the Lord said what youreally did is you robbed them of
a blessing.
Now you're going to have to goback and pastor that church
again.
So you're going to have toteach them on the tithe and the
offering.
(09:03):
Think about that when you're atither.
Malachi says when you titheithe,god will open the windows of
heaven and pour out a blessing.
You don't have room enough toreceive it, amen, do you?
How many y'all could believethat happens in your life, that
god opens up things that wouldnot have been open, amen.
So dad hagen said he went backthere and teaching and he said
there was a farmer that came upto him and said I've gone to
(09:26):
church.
He said most of my life, hesaid, and I've always tithed.
He said but if anythingsupernatural has ever happened
to me financially, I don't knowit.
You know what that means.
That means I worked hard, I dowell, he said, but nothing
supernatural has ever happenedto me financially.
(09:48):
So Dad Higgins said well, nowlet's get into the scriptures
and let's study the scriptures,what the word has to say, so
that you can receive somethingsupernatural financially,
greater than just how hard youwork, greater than just how
smart you are.
The grace and the favor of Godcome upon your finances.
So he said, instead of justputting your money in the bucket
(10:11):
when it goes by, get thescriptures out on tithing, get
the word out on giving andsowing, and get that word out
and meditate on that and expectsupernatural results.
All right, you say why in theworld would you teach on
something like this at church?
Well, number one, because majorpart of Paul's revelation.
(10:32):
Yeah, I mean, I could just tearit out of the Bible if you
would prefer.
No, it's still in there andthere's a whole bunch of there
about it, amen.
And so when you're a tither,when you're a giver, if nobody
teaches you on it, sometimespeople give just out of habit
and don't really expectsupernatural results.
(10:53):
But when you got the word on ityou ought to say hold it just a
second.
I'm a tither, I'm qualified forthat blessing, right there,
come on, I'm a giver, I'm asower, I expect that kind of
blessing, amen.
And so he said that farmer leftcame back in about two weeks
with a big smile on his face andhe said for the first time in
(11:15):
my life, something supernaturalhappened to me financially.
Are y'all still with me?
In other words, you believe Godwants to do something
supernatural financially in yourlife?
He smiled how many of y'alllike to come back in a few weeks
and say, big smile on your face, something supernatural
happened to me financially?
In other words, I work hard,come on, and I do the best I can
(11:39):
, but something supernaturalhappened to me financially and I
access this grace.
Are going to second-gradechapter, not because I'm a show
you how to access this grace.
I'm a glad he went on the nextchapter, I.
He goes on the next chapter,chapter 9, and he says here's
(12:00):
how you access this grace.
And he says he calls yourgiving, he calls it sowing.
Y'all got second, matthew 9, 6.
All right, look at that.
This, I say he that sosparingly shall reap sparingly.
He that sows bountifully shallreap bountifully.
Verse 7 every man according ashe purposed in his heart.
(12:22):
So let him give, not grudginglyor of necessity, for God loves
what God loves a cheerful giver.
Look at verse eight.
And God is able.
All right, let's read that outloud together.
And God is able to make allgrace abound towards you.
Come on, everybody say me Godis able to make all grace abound
(12:46):
towards you, so that you alwayshave all sufficiency and all
things may abound to every goodwork.
Well, y'all should get happyalready.
Do you believe God has anyability in that area?
Concerning your finances, it'snot just up to you.
(13:07):
There is grace available foryour finances, so you don't have
to be broke, no more, you don'thave to struggle.
No more, come on, you can havemore than enough.
You can give more than you'veever given and still have more
than you've ever had.
Let me try that one more time.
I said you can give more thanyou've ever given and still have
more than you ever had.
In other words, god is notplanning on you giving yourself
(13:32):
broke.
Ah, the Lord said to me I didnot design giving for you to
decrease.
He said I designed tithing andgiving for you to increase and
open the windows of heaven.
Come on, so don't thinksubtraction.
(13:54):
When you're given, think whatmultiplication he's gonna
multiply.
Go ahead and smile just alittle bit.
Amen.
How many like to show up in thenext few weeks and say something
supernatural just happened tome financially?
And I give the glory to God.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
(14:14):
I said something supernaturalhappened to me financially.
Come on, don't act like it allcame from your work.
It came from the blessing ofthe Lord, it came from the grace
of God, amen.
So there's two areas, these twoareas that access the grace of
God in the area of your finances.
(14:36):
Somebody said well, how did you?
Well, when I was left home, mydaddy said there is a God and
I'm not him, which basicallymeant he was not going gonna be
giving me no money.
My daddy basically said youleave home, you get a job, you
(14:57):
learn how to work.
Come on, you develop excellencein your work, he said.
And then you better learn howto have faith in God, because I
will not be your source.
Furthermore, if he was mysource, I could be very limited,
but if God's my, my source, Icould be very limited, but if
God's my source, I could beunlimited.
Let's try that one more time.
Come on, if you make peopleyour source, come on, got the
(15:21):
lid on you.
But if God your source, godsaid whatever you can believe
for, if you can believe for youcould have amen.
So I had to study that becauseI had to keep my expectation on
God, he's my source.
How am I going to access thegrace of God in this area?
Two ways.
Just write this down.
I want you just remember thistwo ways you access the grace of
(15:43):
God in this area.
Number one is by yourconfession or by your saying.
Just two areas.
You say, you're saying andyou're sowing.
You're so.
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you're giving.
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you'retithing.
(16:04):
You're saying and you're sowing.
You're saying and you're giving.
You're saying and you're so.
In two main areas you accessthis grace, two main ways that
you access this grace.
Number one is how you talk.
Number two is how you give nowhow you talk, not just at church
(16:33):
, because most people controltheir mouth for a while at
church.
How you talk at home, how youtalk about your finances.
So I learned this from DadHagen never talk lack, he said,
because the Lord told him, ifyou talk lack, it will keep
money from coming to you.
Well, we certainly don't wantthat to happen, because you
(16:55):
already got a problem with lackand if you talk lack, it's gonna
keep money from coming to you.
So you're just gonna have morelack.
So I gotta change the way Italk if I'm gonna access this
grace.
Never talk lack.
Always say the money will come.
Y'all still with me here.
Come on, when you're facing achallenge financially, don't
(17:18):
talk lack, just do what.
Say the money will come.
Come on when you think aboutthat situation on, maybe you're
going to college, I gotgrandkids going to college.
Come on, say the money willcome.
You wanna buy a house?
Come on.
(17:38):
You got a house payment?
Come on, you need bettertransportation, the money will
come.
Or Dad Hagen would say sayy'all ready for this?
The 23rd Psalm, he would say,would say say the Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.
I Do not lack for ability, I donot lack for opportunity and I
(18:04):
never lack for money.
He said say the last one twice,I never lack for money.
He said say the last one twice,I never lack for money.
Because if you're havingconversation, people say about
the price of gas and I theeconomy, and you say the Lord is
my shepherd, I Do not lack forability, I never lack for
(18:27):
opportunity.
In other words, god alwaysgives me favor and opens the
right door at the right time andI never lack for opportunity.
In other words, god alwaysgives me favor and opens the
right door at the right time andI never lack for money.
I never lack for money.
Come on, I'm a tither, I'm agiver, and God opens the windows
of heaven and he pours out ablessing.
I don't have room enough toreceive it.
So my job is blessed, mybusiness is blessed, my house is
(18:48):
blessed, my family is blessed.
The blessing of the Lord isupon my life.
Come on, I don't just believeit, but I say it All right.
R Smith Wigglesworth would sayit this way.
He would say my father, god,always takes care of me in grand
(19:15):
style.
Who's your daddy now?
Listen, my father, god alwaystakes care of me in grand style.
When you talk lack, you'reaccusing God of child abuse.
Come on.
When you talk lack of wine,about the lack of of money,
you're saying God really don'tcare about me, he ain't taking
(19:36):
care of me.
But when you say words of faith, you're saying what my father,
god, always takes care of me ingrand style.
I drive the best where the best, eat the best, living the best,
go on the best vacations thebest.
Eat the best, live in the best,go on the best vacations with
my come on the best blessings.
In other words, you say well,it don't look that way.
(19:59):
Well, that's how you change.
The way it looks is by what yousay.
In other words, you're sayingwill change your economy.
So you don't just say that whenthe preacher is talking to you
about it, you say it at home.
Come on, if you start thinkingabout some of your cutting your
kitchen somewhere, you say thankyou, my father, god, always
take care of me in grand stylecome on, the Lord is my shepherd
(20:23):
.
Unlimited expectation,unlimited expectation.
Resources, I shall not lack.
I do not lack.
I do not lack for ability, I donot lack for opportunity.
I never lack for money.
You know, I just never lack formoney.
(20:46):
I am a tither, I'm a giver, I'ma blessing to others and money
always comes to me.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Now, if you want to stand outin the crowd, talk that way,
because most people ain'ttalking that way.
They're worried about money.
(21:06):
You know.
You say but I'm a tither, I gota covenant with God.
Amen, all right.
Here's the second tither.
I got a covenant with God, amen, all right.
Here's the second area.
One is the saying, the secondis in the sowing.
So Paul calls giving sowing.
That's an interesting term,isn't it?
He says when you're giving yourtithe, your offering your
sowing.
He said you're sowing.
(21:27):
I call it farming money.
If you could learn how to farmmoney, you could tell people.
I got a secret.
I have a money farm.
(21:50):
I learned from 2 Corinthians,chapter 9, how to access the
grace of God and do it throughmy sowing and he says and I got
two ways, I can do it.
I can do it sparingly or I cando it generously.
Isn't it great that God justleaves it up to you?
It's not like God's gonna gobroke if you don't participate.
(22:11):
It's not like God says please,please, I don't know if I'm
gonna make it.
No, god was doing real wellbefore he ever met you, believe
it or not.
He didn't teach you this systemto help himself.
He teaches us this to help usbecause the whole economy and
(22:32):
everything created by Godresponds to your saying and your
sowing.
How many like for somethingsupernatural happened to you
financially?
You just go why?
So you can testify.
Say, pastor, I gotta testify,look what the Lord has done, woo
hoo.
So he calls it sowing.
(22:52):
Now write this down realquickly.
Because he calls it sowing.
Now write this down realquickly because he calls it
sowing.
So sowing is not throwing.
You know what I mean, justthrowing money.
Because a farmer don't justdrive down the highway, roll the
windows down and go.
I'm ironing the sowing seed outon both sides, you know, in the
ditches everywhere.
No, he sows in a field that hasbeen prepared.
(23:12):
Or you could call it.
Strategic sowing, number oneharvest is you.
So, where you're receiving theword from a revelation,
knowledge, so in, so so, is notthrowing when you're s, you
always have two things workingfor you.
Number one you have a purposeand a promise.
(23:36):
The purpose of your sowing isso the preaching of the gospel
can go around the world.
People are going to get savedand healed and blessed, and I'm
a partner with that.
Amen, amen.
So your sowing has a what?
Purpose?
And it has what else?
A promise, what's the promiseto?
That gives me Expectation thatif I'll do my part, god's gonna
(24:08):
do his part.
Or you could say it this waythe seed is guaranteed.
In other words, there's no riskinvolved.
Boy, every one of your otherinvestments.
You better hold on to yourbritches, come on, because the
economy's going up.
Economy's going this way.
Which way is the economy goingto go?
And some people are staring atit every day.
Oh my God, what's happening tomy retirement?
(24:28):
Well, first of all, you need tobelieve God.
You'll live long enough forthat.
But anyway, what's happening?
Am I gonna have enough money,you know, when I get to be old?
All right, so they're watchingthe stock market.
Well, I have one investmentthat is absolutely 100%
guaranteed.
If I lost everything, Icouldn't lose that one.
(24:52):
What's that one?
When I give into the kingdom ofGod, I got a promise.
The seed is guaranteed.
I got the Word of God.
Come on and gotta move heavenand earth to make sure my
harvest comes to me.
Come on, guarantee all right.
(25:12):
Now let's look.
The sowing is giving.
We call giving sowing thesowing.
Let's set it this way yourgiving or your sowing is not
always just because the churchhas a need, in other words the
church.
We can present projects andthings at the church.
(25:34):
The ministry's doing youthankful for that and you give.
But sometimes you're so andyou're conscious of your knee,
or you're so in a seed.
Come on, you're soowing a seedin expectation.
(25:54):
I like to do it this way Doyour sowing where you're going.
Or your sowing will take youthere faster than your savings
will, or your sowing willoutperform your saving.
That doesn't mean that youdon't save.
That just means your sowingwill outperform your saving.
That doesn't mean that youdon't save.
(26:14):
That just means your sowingwill get you faster results than
just your saving.
Because your saving, come on,and Bible teaches, god will
bless your basket, bless yourstorehouse.
He's not opposed to you havingsavings, amen.
But your sowing will actuallytake you there faster than your
savings.
I've actually taken money outof savings so I could do some s,
some so, and God not onlyreplaced it back, but he
(26:36):
actually increased it.
Are y'all still with me?
So you got to have confidencein your soul and more than just
in your savings.
Thank you for your enthusiasm.
So he says these two thingsthat will determine.
Praise the Lord.
(26:58):
I mean, I saved up some money,you know, to buy a jet.
Years ago.
I saved up, probably I hadprobably a couple hundred
thousand dollars saved up and Iwas going to get a jet because
the way we're traveling, youknow, and exhausted.
So I said well, I need to get ajet.
So I went to Brother Hagin'scamp meeting and they were
taking him off and for his jethe didn't have one.
So I thought well, I've learnedabout faith from him, so I'm
(27:22):
just gonna give him my jet moneyas a seed.
What if that don't work?
Well, we had no jet, but I'msaving it.
But I figured my sword wouldtake me there faster.
So I went ahead and sold the200,000.
Then the devil said now youain't never gonna have.
(27:44):
I said no, that just means I'mgonna have a better jet.
Then I could have afforded comeon and be able to do the
maintenance, which is about$75,000 a month, and be able to
fly where I wanna fly.
Come on, are y'all still here?
What took me there?
Not my saving, but my sowing.
(28:05):
Come on, don't act like yoursowing ain't gonna take you
nowhere.
Come on, expect supernaturalresults.
My sowing is not gonna cause meto decrease.
My sowing is gonna bringincrease.
God said I'll fill your basket,I'll fill your storehouse.
I'll bless you coming in, Ibless you going out.
Come on, you're saying would bewhat you're saying part the Lord
(28:31):
is.
And then you use your authorityas a believer.
You say Satan, take your handsoff my money.
Are y'all ready for this one?
Go angels ministering spiritsand cause the money to come, for
(28:52):
the earth is the Lord's and thefullness thereof, and I'm an
heir of God and a joint heirwith Christ.
So the money will come.
Go ahead and lift your handsand thank God for that.
I said the money will come.
Ha ha ha.
Go ahead and laugh for a fewminutes.
I said the money will come.
(29:16):
Come on, get the doubt out.
I said get the fear out, comeon, I'm a tither, I'm a sower,
I'm a giver.
I sow generously and I reapgenerously.
Ha ha ha.
And God makes all grace abound.
Every favor and earthlyblessing comes to me in
abundance.
What's the two main areas?
(29:36):
My saying and my sowing.
My saying agrees with the wordmy God shall supply what All of
my need, according to his richesin glory.
Ha ha ha.
Now, y'all have heard me teachon this before, you know.
(29:57):
But faith comes by hearing andhearing.
Not just hearing once, but youhear it again Amen.
So after I gave, worked mygiving?
Somebody said the whole yougive through is the whole you
receive through.
All right, let's try that onemore time.
(30:19):
Picture this for a minute thehole that you give through is
the hole you receive through.
I decided just to bake a biggerhole.
Does that make sense to you?
In other words, I'm givingthrough a certain hole, you know
, and I said let's see if I canjust knock a little bigger hole.
(30:42):
And so while I was knocking abigger hole, then the devil said
to me doubt, fear really cameto my mind.
The devil said what are yougonna do if all that tithing and
giving don't work.
That thought came to my mind.
And when it hit my mind becauseI'd just given, I'd actually
(31:04):
overdone it A little giver'sremorse, a little anxiety.
I think I gave too much.
So I'm driving home and thedevil, what you gonna do if all
that giving don't work?
And I was like, oh, because I'mnot just giving personally, I'm
giving off the whole churchthat I pastor.
(31:25):
And I told them they all knew.
I said we don't just receivetithes and offerings, we
corporately give.
And our whole church went rightup high work for me
individually.
It would work for your business.
Thank you for your enthusiasm.
(31:47):
I said it worked for mepersonally, it worked for the
business and it worked for thechurch that I'm pastoring.
So we went up, kept going upand still going up Amen.
So what are you going to do ifall that giving don't work?
I mean you're looking at yourcheckbook going hmm, what are
(32:10):
you going to do if all yourgiving don't work?
And so I started thinking aboutit, thought, well, it's not
gonna be good.
And the Holy Spirit lived in me.
I thank God for the Holy Spirit.
He lived in me and he saidnever let the devil intimidate
you.
He said you say back to thedevil, mr devil, what you gonna
(32:40):
do when it does work?
All right, let's try that onemore time.
Come on, talk back to the devil,don't let the devil intimidate
you.
When you're a tither, come on,or you're so and generously, and
say, oh, you're gonna tither.
Come on or you're sowing,generously, and say, oh, you're
going to be in trouble.
Now you say, devil, what yougoing to do when God multiplies
my seed sown, makes all graceabound, opens the windows of
(33:03):
heaven, blesses me coming in andgoing out?
Devil, what you going to do?
Come on when I'm driving thebest, wearing the best, and tell
everybody the Lord is myshepherd, I shall not walk.
Go ahead and laugh about that.
Hallelujah, what you gonna do?
Cuz I'm gonna testify, ha ha hathat I can give more than I've
(33:28):
ever given and still have morethan I've ever had.
I've ever given and still havemore than I've ever had.
Let's try this out over here.
I said I can give more thanI've ever given and still have
more than I've ever had.
Go ahead and laugh a fewminutes, say hi.
I said I can get more, neveryou.
But I'm not giving myself brokeJesus.
(33:49):
And when I give, it's gonnacome back.
Press down, shaking togetherand running.
Well, lift your hands up andthank God.
Ha ha ha, come on, thank theLord.
Thank you, lord, for yourgoodness and your mercy.
Hallelujah, let's say it outloud together the Lord is my
shepherd.
I shall not want.
(34:10):
I do not lack.
I do not lack for ability, I donot lack for opportunity.
I never lack for money.
I never lack for money.
My Father, god, always takescare of me in grand style.
I give generously, I receivegenerously, I receive generously
(34:33):
.
God makes all grace aboundtowards me.
I have all sufficiency in allthings.
In the name of Jesus, satan,take your hands off of my money.
Go angels ministering spiritsand cause the money to come, for
the earth is the Lord's and thefullness thereof.
(34:56):
Go angels ministering spiritsand cause the money to come, for
the earth is the Lord's and thefullness thereof.
I'm an heir of God, I'm a jointheir with Christ, and the money
will come.
I said the money will come.
Houses and lands come into myhands.
Give the Lord a shout.
Hallelujah, woo Woo, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha.
Amen, man, I had so much fundoing that.
(35:21):
How many believe the word inthat area of the Bible.
