Praise the Lord. So I'm not worried about anything anymore. Yes, we're not worried about anything because it's a. Thank you, Pastor Happy. He got one. Yes, put it up, please. Part number four, the sin of worry. And it is a sin. And see that guy? He's holding his face, you know, he's worried there and he's sinning. That's what he's doing right now. And so we don't want to be that guy. Right, Happy? Okay. And this is an important. This is the last one. I got something fresh to start next week. In fact, I've been waiting for next week's series for about six months. I've been. I'm looking for. I'm not telling you what it is you have to come to find out, but I'm excited about it. I've been waiting six months to teach it, and I believe it's important. But we need to finish what we're doing here. Amen. So we'll finish this up today. What was our theme verse, Pastor Happy? What was one of the main scriptures? Do you remember that? Philippians 4, 6. Do you remember what that says? You did pretty good on that quotation. Nobody could hear you, so I'll read it. Be anxious for nothing, careful for nothing. But in everything, by prayer and supplication. Supplication is definite, specific requests, okay? That's the prayer of supplication with thanksgiving. That's releasing faith. Let your requests be made known to God and the peace, the peace, the shalom of God which passes all understanding. You can't even understand why you feel it, but you do, will guard, keep, defend your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. And then finally, brethren, whatsoever are true, whatsoever things are honest, just pure, lovely things of good report that'll convict you when you watch a lot of stuff on television. Anyway, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. So what did he say? He said you got to. You got to talk to God about it. So don't talk to your friends or your spouse. Talk to God first. Then you can talk to other people, but talk to God. Then what do you do? You tell him specifically what you're concerned about. Be specific with Him. He knows it anyway, but it helps you to tell Him. Then you're going to release your faith and thank him that he's working. Then you're going to enter into peace. Then you're going to guard your thoughts because your thoughts are going to try to pull you away, back into that mental arena. So that Was one of our theme verses, 1st Peter, chapter 5, and verse 7. You know this as well. 1st Peter 5, 7, and it says, let's look at verse 6. Casting your humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Let's look at verse five. Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. That does not just mean age. Do you understand? That means spiritual elder and spiritual younger. So you can be older physically than somebody, but if God has set them over you and the Lord, you are still to be submissive to that. Subject yourself one to another and be clothed with humility. So it's like you put on a coat. For God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. That means that anointing that power will work for you if you humble yourself. Amen. Remember another scripture. He says, I know the proud afar off. That means he doesn't want you near me. I don't even want you near me. But the grace, but the humble, he draws close. So he's drawing and he's giving power at the same time. That's the category I want to be in. And listen, everybody says that they're humble until they're corrected. And I mean by God. God can correct you. And you realize you weren't as humble as you thought you were because your back goes up. But it's easier with God than it is with a human being. When your boss corrects you, how do you take that? When your pastor corrects you, how do you take that? And by the way, it's easier to receive correction publicly than it is in my office. Because publicly you don't feel like it's just for you unless the spirit of God says to you, shows you, this is for you. Then if you've got humility, you'll receive that. But a lot of people, it is for them. The spirit of God is trying to show that to them. But because they're a bit proud, they resist that and they don't want that. And so, you know, they don't really get offended because they didn't receive it. But then they go in the office. Now the only one that's in the room is you. So it can't be shared with anybody else. And then when that correction comes directly to you, then there's an issue. Do you understand? So don't think more highly Romans 12:2 than you ought. And that's not just about faith. That's in every area. Because how you handle correction is really that it really shows you. And I don't just mean from God or in a public service, but also privately. It shows the character that you have and how your spouse. Sometimes there's a need for a spouse to correct, do you understand? Without using it as manipulation tactic or using it as a weapon. But there's many times where I've said to Jenny, honey, I need to talk to you about something. And she knows when I say that tone that something is going to be said, but I say it gracefully, I don't say it aggressively and I don't try to manipulate her, but she does the same with me and she'll say, I need to talk to you about something. There's something there. I don't like what happened. I don't like what you did. I don't like, in fact that just happened last week. And of course I don't like that. Nobody likes that, you understand? Because I don't, you know, I feel like what I did was fine, but you know, then I'm also looking to my spirit. You got to look to your spirit because sometimes somebody may say something like a spouse, but it could be their personality that doesn't like something you've done. But that doesn't mean that you were technically wrong. So I look to my spirit. That's not pride to look to your spirit, but I check my spirit. And in this case, not in every case, but in this case, her, the Holy Spirit said, listen to her. So, you know, there's that twang. Do you know that twang? That twang of like, oh man, not again. And in front of her and to have to receive it from her. And I just, you know, but that's where if you're gracious as a spouse and you don't use it to rub their nose in it and you don't use it to try to, you know, put them down, demean them, manipulate them, then there's a trust and then you can start to receive that. If you're not like that, don't even try to correct your spouse because they can't receive it from you because you haven't done it in the right way. So you're just as, you're just as much fault as they are as the offender is, right? But when he says that, there's always that, ah, you know, I was hoping it wouldn't apply, hoping you'd missed it again. But, but, but he said, listen to her. And so now, now, now, see, now I've got that sense that, you know that sense. Are you all saints? Like you know that sense? Because now you know, you know by the spirit, you know it's right. Some things you just know. You don't need the Holy Ghost to tell you. You just know. You cussed, you're wrong, you broke the dish, you're wrong. You yelled, you're wrong, you watched the wrong thing. You don't need to check your spirit. It's obvious. But when it's vague, when it's gray and there's many shades of gray, when there's. Then you have to check. You have to check because is it just her? Is it just the other person, whoever they are, Is it just your boss? Is it just their preference? Or was it actually wrong? And then you got to check your spirit. But when the spirit of God bears witness and says, no, listen to them, that's something that I want you to change. There is that feeling of, you know, that's your flesh. Your flesh doesn't like to be told things. But now you've got the great opportunity to either pass the test or to fail the test. And most people, I'll be honest with you, fail the test because they'll put their backup. They'll get into their defensive mode. Well, I am this. And then they'll justify, then they'll blame. And the better thing to do, the spiritual thing to do, was put on the garment of humility. Just put on your coat. Just humble yourself. Why? He's going to draw you close and he's going to give you grace. That's the anointing you try to. Especially when you know it in here, what you're doing. He's pushing you away. But he's God. He's God of love. Yeah, he's got a love. But don't be foolish. The Bible tells you the God of love wants nothing. He wants you far away from him. When you've got that. That prickly, you know, defensive, rebellious, blaming, prideful attitude, he don't want you. And there's no anointing for you then. Now you're in trouble because now the Holy Ghost is not going to talk to you the same way. Now. He's not going to lead you the same way. Now protection is not going to work the same way. Now. Health is not going to work the same way. Now. Nothing's going to work the same way. So just to humble yourself, be humble. Be humble, Be humble and just say, yes, yes. You know, we were in the airport going to Brazil, and we were sitting in the lounge. You know, we like to get there early, don't want to be stressed. And we had like an hour and a half waiting for the flight. And Pastor Nancy, she just sat down and we had got some breakfast because it was kind of early in the morning, and we had got some breakfast and we were eating. And, you know, she's eating, I'm eating. You know, the group is eating. And she just kind of looked up and looked at me, and I kind of could see her looking at me. So I just. I eat faster, you know, because I don't know what she's seeing. She's a prophet. I don't know what she's seeing. So under my breath, I thank you, Lord. I repent of everything. The blood Jesus pushes me for everything. And I just stuff my face as fast as I can so I don't have to make eye contact. But she says, I look to her, and I know I've learned her a little bit. And she's just kind of looking at me. And then about 30 seconds later, she goes, pastor Greg, I'd like to speak to you. Let's go over here. So I put the thing down and I said, can my wife come? She says, yes, but it's not about her. It's about you. But bring her for moral support. That's not a good sign. That's not a good sign. But we went there and we sat there and she talked to me, and she corrected me on some things. And she talked to me for about an hour and corrected me for about an hour on some things. A bunch of different things and things she would not know. Things revealed by the Spirit of God, summon dreams to her others. Just by being around people, you can pick things up about their life, what they're doing, what they're not doing. Da, da, da, da. And so it wasn't like I'm in sin or gross darkness or anything like that. I don't live like that. I live a clean life, generally. But there were things that the spirit of God needed her with her authority to talk to me about. And so I remember sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, like, you know, I can feel that kind of like, mmm, not rebellious, but just like, oh, man. You know, and then it's not just one. Then there's another thing. And I'm looking at my watch, and then it's another thing. And I'm thinking, when does this plainly. God, we need to. We need to end this conversation. But. There's a little bit of a but. But that's. I have a test to pass. And so inside my heart, I just sit like I'm talking to God while I'm listening. And I said, lord, thank you. Thank you for the help. I humble myself. I humble myself right now because when I humble myself, you draw me close. When I humble myself, there's anointing, there's grace for me. And I need grace. And I'm listening and I'm going to do. I'm going to act on what she said. I've already been doing it since September. My wife is my witness. I've already been obeying the changes that needed to be made. I'm grateful for a parent to tell me the changes. Do you understand? I'm grateful for the parent to tell me the changes because it's for my good. It's not for my shame. It's not for my hurt failure. It's so that I don't fail. It's so that I don't get hurt. But the amazing thing is I have to respond. And so I let her finish. And then I started to respond. And I took her hand, which I don't normally do, but I took her hand, I took my wife's hand and I prayed. The three of us, we prayed. And I kind of made not a covenant, but I made, for lack of a better word, a covenant that I would make some adjustments. And, you know, tears. I just felt the anointing. Just the anointing of God just came on me when I did that. Didn't feel that at all. Didn't really feel nothing. But when I started to pray, that anointing came and I started to cry and Jenny started to cry. And because that anointing was so strong, God was so pleased, I could feel his pleasure. You can feel when he's pleased and when he's displeased. I could feel his pleasure at the fact that I had responded right to the correction. And that's a good feeling. See, I give grace. That's why I thought of that story, honey, because he said, I give grace. That grace means the anointing or the power. That's resurrection power. That grace is available to you to help you not just receive the correction, but to help you. I don't know why I'm saying this. Somebody obviously needs to hear it. But to help you walk out the changes, it's not just to help you in that moment so you don't feel embarrassed. It's to help you that anointing comes to help you walk out changes. Do you understand? And there are some people sitting in this room right now looking at me that I have met with you over the years. And I have said to you, by the spirit, and I've told you, in case you didn't get it, I'm speaking to you by the spirit. I mean, how much clearer can I be? And I've said, there is a problem here. There is an issue there. If you don't deal with this, it's going to cost you. And you look at me and say, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't think. I don't see that, Pastor Craig. So instead of humbling yourself and going, you know what? Maybe God showed you in an office something I don't see. And maybe I should humble myself and be grateful for that correction and receive it with humility, because then the anointing will come to help me walk out the change. But when people just kind of go, I don't know. I don't. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't see that. I don't see that. What can I do? I've done my job. I walk out the room, and those people today are still in the mess that they were before. And I'm not trying to hurt anybody, but I'm just saying, obviously, the spirit of God wants this addressed because I can feel the anointing to address it. And so it would behoove you to listen carefully. And what I do is I record it so that I can listen to it afterward, write some notes. Because sometimes much is said and help is given, and sometimes, you know, so that shows that I'm interested in receiving the help. I don't know why I'm saying, oh, that. Didn't plan on saying any of that, but I'm just. I'm just saying your life of humility is your ticket to greatness. Everything goes, you got to go down to go up. That I may decrease, that he may increase, but when I decrease, he increases in me. So just decide, make a decision that you're just not going to be proud. You're going to be humble. Do you understand? Now, let me. I don't know why you're on this, Lord, but I'll say this as well. That also means your snapping chats and your ticking tocks and all your things. I don't understand any of them, but I know, I heard about them. And you're facing book and all this stuff. Let me just tell you something. When everything that your mind thinks about is to flaunt your new thing and to flaunt what you just purchased and to flaunt that is not humility. There's nothing wrong with celebrating if you've done something. But some people, all they want is to flaunt their bodies. And some people in this room, my staff have shown me your feeds and you've got 700 photos of every angle of your body. And it's unnecessary. And it's not. That is self absorbed. That is a lover of self. The Bible says the spirit of the world will try to get you to love yourself too much. Now you should love yourself, but not that much. Nobody should love themselves that much. And other than being a lover of self, that's what that is. We even call them selfies. Other than that, just this constant, like, I want everybody to know what I've bought and how rich I am and this and that and everything else. And I'm going to stand here real cool with it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it necessarily. It's not sin. But you better be careful because that is not humility. It isn't. Flaunting is not humility. In fact, the Bible says love does not vault itself. It. It's not haughty sometimes when there's that kind of an attitude. You're always trying to compete with the Joneses and tell everybody how great what you've got is. Nothing wrong with celebrating, but I'm saying it's a hard issue. And sometimes people, they're really not in humility and they think they are, but they're boasting about things. The Bible said, let not the wise man boast in his wisdom. Let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him that boasts boast in this that he understands and knows me. The thing we boast about is relationship, not about cars and houses and purses and that. That's why I don't promote things. Sometimes people may ask me, but I always try to keep it on the lowdown. And the Lord's always said, listen, I'm going to bless you and I'm going to bless you with nice things. Don't make an over promotion of it because all you're doing that's just pride. And then other people, you're emphasizing what they don't have by what you do have. And as a minister especially, we've got to be careful of that. Do you understand? We got to be careful of that. Hallelujah. Praise God. And I want to say something else. I want to say something else because I'm on it now. I just want you to know. Yeah, I got a very nice fancy ring That I had handmade, got one for my wife on our 20th anniversary. And I wear sometimes expensive this and expensive that. But I want you to know, church don't pay for none of that. My business pays for that. So if you see me with my nice watch or my nice ring or whatever, don't you start getting offended saying, well, my tithe, that's my tithe. My tithe is on his finger. Oh, I didn't put my tithe in for that. I want souls to be saved with my tithe. Your money don't buy any of that stuff. I buy that from my business income. And I do that on purpose so that if anybody were to accuse me of wearing nice things, driving nice things, whatever, I can say not everything, but in most things, that didn't even come from the church, that came from another source, that came from people blessing me outside this church, that came from my business dealings outside this church. So don't get opinionated is, I guess what I'm saying, don't get opinionated because I'm telling you that will cause you to stumble. And I don't. I'm not a flashy person. I don't try to flash things on purpose because I don't want to vaunt. I don't want to boast. That is not my heart. But I'm telling you, a lot of people, that is their heart. I tell you, small thinkers do that. Poor people do that, peasants do that. Real spiritual people, high class people, they have manners, they have decorum, they have social graces and they know how to treat people. They're respectful to people and they're not trying to make people feel less and make them feel big because they're already secure in themselves and they don't need to push you down to lift me up. Don't know why I'm saying any of that, but somebody needs to hear it. Let's move it right along. He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves. Therefore, verse 6, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Due time. That means you're not going to get exalted. When you think it's. When he thinks it's his due time casting all say humility. Humility, Humility. Now, casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you. In other words, if you're holding onto the worry, you're not in humility, you're in pride. Right? So we're talking about humility, but really it's connected to worry. Be sober, be Vigilant What? Because your adversary, the devil, has a roaring lion, walks about seeking human devour. Be sober, be vigilant. That you cast your care because that's the open door for the roaring lion. He can't devour you, but he wants to devour you. You start worrying about things, he will devour you in that capacity. He can't devour your spirit, but he can mess you up. Remember, Jesus said with tears to Pastor Reich, this is the main reason worry. This is the main reason, the principal reason why I cannot get over to my children what I desire to do for them because they block my power when they worry. And I won't read it all. But you know Matthew 6, 25, 34, 9 verses, take no thought, take no thought, Take no thought, take no thought. Then he says, take no thought, saying. Because if you don't listen to the first four instructions about don't take the thought, and you do, you're going to start talking about that thought. Now you've given that thought power because there's power of life or death in your tongue. As soon as you start saying something, you've released power. Do you understand? Even in the negative realm, I always get sick. You just release something. I need my flu shot because I just always get sick. Well, then you're going to have always sick every year. But if you say, lord, I thank you. Whether you get the flu shot or not is not the issue. I say, thank you, Lord, I don't get sick in Jesus name. My immune system is strong. The blood of Jesus is a barrier around me. Say those things because you're releasing something when you say it. And if you get the flu shot, be led by the spirit to get it. I don't get it because I don't need it. My doctor said, craig, you really need to get the flu shot this year. It's going around, gonna get you. And I said, doc, I understand, but no, I know something you don't know. He didn't ask me what I knew that he didn't know, so I didn't tell him. But I did tell him, I know something you don't know. He just rolls his eyes because he still got in the file that I still ask him every time. Did you put that thing about Quinn in the file yet? No, because it didn't happen. Oh yeah, it did happen. His face turned black. It was flesh eating disease. He was going to die. We cursed it in the name of Jesus. My wife flew across the Christian kitchen, grabbed his face, cursed it, cast the devil out and within 12 hours, he was healed. Why don't you put that in the file, Doc? I don't believe that. That didn't happen. He just sucked on a cup. That's what he keeps saying. He sucked on a cup. You know, with that. You know, gives you, like, broken. He looked a little bit red. I said, no, he didn't suck on a cup. The devil got ahold of him. Put that in your file, Doc. Put the devil. Write it in there. The devil got ahold of him. He's a Jewish man, and he don't like it very much. But then I get his heart. He says, why are you going back to Israel? It's dangerous. I said, I know. I'm going to help your people. You are? You're going to help my people? I'm going to help your people. So now he likes me because I'm a Jew lover. Moving right along. Praise the Lord. Don't take the thought. Don't take the thought. Saying. Now, we talked about a lot of different things. The last number six, we talked about. Worry is being troubled. You remember? And I had on the screen. Fear and doubt produce the offspring of worry. And then we talked about. I'm not going to read it again, but Philippians 4:11 is. It's about not being. It's about. I have. I am. Can we just read it? I don't want to try to quote it. Can we just read it? You're still with me, right? I'm not going to go long like I did on Sunday. I don't know what happened on Sunday. It's like the time was suspended in the universe. We went into, like, a morph zone, and nobody even. Nobody moved, nobody shuffled, which they usually do to let me know that I'm going over. But nobody did that. This year I was so. This Sunday, I was so happy. Philippians, chapter 4 and verse 11. I won't do that again, but it is 8:22, but let's keep going. And it says here. Where was this? Not that I'm implying that I wasn't any personal want. In other words, I'm not trying to manipulate you, for I have learned how to be content. Content. Definition is satisfied to the point where I'm not disturbed or disquieted in whatever situation. State that I am not disturbed, not disquieted. And I've talked much about that because I get very disturbed and disquieted quite easily based on my personality. But that is ultimately flesh. It could be anger, it could be fear, but it could also be worry. You can get disturbed and disquieted because of worry. Because things are hard financially, because you can't get a job because of all these things. I'm telling you, if you worry about it and get disturbed, you're blocking the power of God. You've got to step over into faith. You've got to cast the care. You got to say, father, I trust you. I'm your daughter. I'm your son. You won't let me go under. You're in the boat with me now, Lord, if I've opened a door, if I've caused this, show me and I'll make the changes. But I'm asking you for a miracle. I'm asking you for a breakthrough. Do you understand? You'll do that. God will answer you. But if you start worrying about it and getting all disturbed and not being able. Fretting and not being able to sleep and stuff, you won't get answers from God. All you do is hurt your body, hurt your mind. You still with me? So that was a very important scripture. And then, of course, we know Psalm 23:5. You prepare a table before me. I read you some other translations. To feast in the presence of mine enemies. Undisturbed, undisquited, not disquieted. Do you understand? That's where we're after. Not disquieted even in the midst of enemies that are wanting to fight us. Even in the midst of lack. Even in the midst of health problems, Even in the midst of marriage stuff, children stuff. Economy stuff, national stuff. Do you understand? All right. Praise the Lord. Now you say, well, what if I was in California? What if the fire was coming to my house? I have a right to be disquieted then. No, you don't. No, you don't. What, I just lie down and let my house be destroyed? No, you don't. What do you do? You do what brother Randy did when he saw the tornado coming. This happened three years ago. He saw the tornado coming to his house. So Randy goes out. Oh, my God. And he says, you. You're not coming here. You go around. And that tornado, no word of a lie. He watched it with his own eyes. It was on a straight trajectory, and it turned and it circled around his property and then went on behind him. What he forgot is that his friend lives over yonder. When he told me, I laughed so hard. And the tornado, which would have missed his friend, destroyed his friend's house and went just around him like a semicircle. And he looked over there. And he goes, oops, I should have said that way. So he went over with his truck and his work gloves and he helped his friend with the rubble. Didn't tell him what he did. I wouldn't tell him either. I just wouldn't tell anybody what I did. But his friend doesn't watch our livestream. So don't worry. That's not a problem. But I'm just saying you've got such dominion in that realm, if you believe it. If you're worried that dominion don't work for you. But listen, only people. I'm not trying to be mean, you understand? I'm not trying to hurt anybody. I'm not trying to hurt anybody. But this is real life. And I'm trying to train you how to handle real life. The ones that lost stuff is because they don't know they're not in Christ. Or if they are. They don't know who they are in Christ. Because if you know who you are in Christ, if you know who you are in Christ, it doesn't matter whether it's a tornado, it doesn't matter whether it's a hurricane, it doesn't matter whether it's a fire, it doesn't matter what it is. You can go and you can say, you not touching this property. Now you say, but that can't happen. That's why it won't happen. And it will destroy your property. Because in the back of your mind, you don't believe. That's why you got to get in the word and get it so a part of your DNA that you believe with all your heart when I say, to this mountain or this fire be thou removed and cast into the sea. And I do not doubt in my heart, not one little bit. But I believe with everything within me that whatsoever things I say will come to pass. You'll have anything you say. But the problem is most people say it, but they don't really believe it. That's why it don't work for them. You've got to really believe it. Praise God, this does work. I feel so sorry for those people that lost everything. In no way am I trying to. Whatever. I'm not. Sometimes, you know, when people are going through a tragedy and then you talk faith, they get very offended because they feel like you have no compassion and that you're just being mean. I'm not trying to be that way. I'm simply saying if it was you, it shouldn't be. That shouldn't be your story. Do you understand? We have dominion. We have Dominion. If the fire could not touch Shadrach and Benny. In a lesser covenant, the fire cannot touch my property. Praise God. Hallelujah. So there's no reason to worry. No matter what the news says, no matter how bad it looks, there's just. There is zero. You got to make the decision. I'm just not doing that anymore. I'm not doing that anymore. And that takes some effort, but it's worth it. Now, what was the other scripture that we talked about here? Psalm. I quote it, but I won't read it. Proverbs 14:30. A calm and undisturbed mind. Undisturbed mind and heart. That's what you believe. What you think that your soul realm are the life and health of the body. Now, Psalm 98. 91, verse 8. We read this last time, and this is a powerful, powerful scripture. Psalm 91. I know I'm repeating some stuff, but I'm going to finish up the rest of it in a second here. Psalm chapter 91 and verse 8 in the Amplified. Well, let's read the first verse 1. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide. Remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand. That's what it says, amplified of the Almighty God, whose power no foe can withstand. No drunk driver. No fire. No. No bandit. No. No. No person bent on destruction and vandalism, no foe can withstand. Meditate on that. Release your faith in that, and you'll see everybody else. I remember when we were in one neighborhood. Every single house, every car got vandalized, sick to ours. We had some animals, critters. I don't know what they were on our walls. We were going to do all this stuff. I just heard the Holy Ghost whisper on the inside of me, say, speak to it. I said, lord, you want me to speak to the wall? He goes, no, you're speaking to the rat behind the wall. Speak to it. I said, lord, are you sure? Like, this is a bit weird, but I did. I says, now you listen to me. You listen to me. You get out or you die. Within three days, it was gone. I don't know if it died. I don't know if it got out. I don't really care. But we had problems. We don't have them anymore. We know somebody in Philippines who had an infestation of bees. And all the neighbors, and they just went and said, I applied the blood of Jesus to every window in this house. You will not touch this property. And that was the only house the bees did not touch. This is called Whose Power no foe Withstand. We have no idea who we are in the realm of the Spirit if we just believe. Amen. If we just believe. Now, down in verse 8, it says only a spectator. Was it verse 8, verse 11? What is it? Verse 91, verse 8, is that right? Only a spectator. Shall you be yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High as you witness the reward of the wicked. There's a lot of wicked people out there and they're getting a reward. Believe me. Godly people. They have no hope. They have insurance. Now we have insurance, but we have something we should need to use the insurance. But we have to do it legally. But they got no hope. It's roll of the dice for them. It's dumb luck. It's if I'm lucky or not. Thank God we don't live by luck. That's a secular concept. Luck is. It's okay to call it pot luck. Don't get weird. Potluck is okay because we're not talking about being lucky. We just. I don't know where that came from. But we don't have to say pot blessed. It's okay just to say potluck. We don't have to go that far. But we don't operate by the promise of luck. I don't not have bad things happen because I'm lucky. And you shouldn't be going to the gambling house to see if you're lucky. I think that's for somebody here tonight, Jennifer. Doctor started a church in Las Vegas. He would go back and forth every weekend he was there. Then it shut down. But he was there one day with Mitch. They were taking a commercial flight. They were waiting for the flight to go from LA back to Ontario Airport, which is close to their house. And there's slot machines everywhere, even in the airports, right? Because it's Vegas. So there's slot machines everywhere. And so Dr. Looked at Mitch and he said, watch this. Are you ready? Yes, doctor, Watch this. He goes over to the slot machine, puts a dollar in, wins $1,500. First pull, it's spitting coins. Mitch comes up, he's gathering up the spoil. I mean, just gathering up the spoil. He said, doctor, you won. My God, you won. And he said, yeah, I know I did. And he said, now watch this. I'm going to win again. He put another dollar in, won it again. Major jackpot. Started spitting coins. Mitch is in glory. Mitch is happy. Mitch is gathering up the spoil. He said, doctor, do it again. Listen to me. And doctor Said to him, there's a demon spirit that has caused me to win two times. Doctor saw that demon. He saw the demon on the machine. That's why he said, watch this. He said, the demon made sure that I won because he's trying to get a hook in me. He wants me to think that this could be a supplemental income. He wants me to go down to Pechanga when I get back to Murrieta. That's a native Indian reservation with Pechanga. I like the way it sounds. They want me to go to Pechanga when I get home, try to supplement my income. I don't know if he said those exact words, but that's the gist of it. And he said, now, he. He said, don't you ever touch it. Don't you ever touch it, because there's demons attached to gambling. And he said, he's trying to get a hook in me. He's trying to get a hook in me. And so Mitch said, okay, Doctor, no problem. And he said, now what are we going to do with the loot? And he said, you're going to go put it in the offering at church. He said, are you sure? Because, you know, we could buy some stuff. He said, go put in the offering at church. And so they funded the church with the offering. See, because the money is not evil. Money is a tool. It's evil in the hands of men. Men are evil. Money is not evil. He had people from the Pechanga, One of the owners of Pechanga, one of the native Indians, they came up to him one day and just handed him, I think it was $10,000 or $15,000, and just said, you know, we like what you're doing in the community. You know, talking about God and stuff. Here's some money. And a lot of preachers got upset with Dr. Because he put it in the offering. Well, you shouldn't do that. That's sinful. That's from the Pechang gambling house. And Dr. Said, the money's not evil. The people are evil. And they may be evil, but as soon as it touched my righteous hand, that tool became righteous. Now, I'm not asking you to go to Pechanga. That's not what I'm. I'm telling you the opposite. Don't do that. You don't gamble, because there's demons attached to that. Amen now, because. Okay, so this is yourself inaccessible. Now, we talked about Smigglesworth, right? And Smigglesworth was so inaccessible that when Satan himself appeared, he didn't Rebuke him. He didn't do anything. He just turned over and said, ah, it's just you. And went to sleep. Now listen to me, because last week I said some things. I said, now I'm not saying that we shouldn't rebuke, but I'm saying that you can get to a place of dominion where you don't even have to rebuke. But when I got in the car going home, the Lord spoke to me and he said, explain that further next Wednesday night because people will be confused. Do I rebuke or do I not rebuke? Because Wigglesworth didn't in that case, but then he did in other cases. And so I want to just explain just very simply this way, because this is how I heard the Lord say it to me. When you're dealing with other people, other people, other needs, you always rebuke, you always bind. Now in certain cases dealing with you, you can also rebuke absolutely. But you can get individually and personally to such a place of dominion where you are so inaccessible to it that you don't even need to rebuke. You just turn your back and walk away. That's the highest form of dominion. But the Lord said, specify it so that they don't get confused. When the non rebuke status is not. When you deal with the needs of other people, do you understand? Because the devil is oppressing them. You have to use your authority to get them off of them because you're not them. You don't know where their level of dominion is. You can't just ignore it on their behalf. You have to deal with that devil for them. But when it's on your, when it's against you, you need to judge your own life. You need to be sober with your own place of authority. You need to know where you're at. And many times, most times I would say, at least for most of us, we are binding and loosing and rebuking. But there are times where you can get to such a place where your dominion is so sure, where you are so inaccessible that even the symptoms or the feeling or the atmosphere or the presence, you don't even need to. Because you're so inaccessible and you say whatever and you move on and you don't even have to bind and loose and do all the whole thing. But that's for your life. You have to figure out where you're at in your life and don't just, if you're not sure, rebuke. But I'm just saying there is A place in God where your dominion and your inaccessibility is so extreme. Where you. You're so. Where you're so. What's the word I'm looking for? You're so in that place of dominion, you're in that cocoon. You are so. You so know who you are in Christ to such a measure that you are actually inaccessible to what he's trying to do. And you don't even need to rebuke him. You just turn away and walk. Which is more powerful than rebuking in some cases. But when you deal with other people, you always rebuke. Do you understand? The Lord said that to me on the way home. Because you don't just ignore. See, then people can take this and run with it. And then somebody is in need and they're just going to say, oh, the devil's all over you. Yeah, the devil's on you. Yeah, well, I'm just going to ignore him and you walk away and turn away. No, no, no. You deal with it and get that person free. But I'm talking about for your life, only for your individual life. You'll figure out when you need to rebuke and when you're inaccessible enough that you just ignore. But I'm telling you, the greatest is the ignoring that lets him know he has absolutely no place. Remember, Jesus said the evil one cometh and he has no place in me. Do you understand? In fact, you don't see really much if any references of Jesus rebuking the devil in his own life, do you? You see him rebuking the devil in other people's lives, but do you ever see him binding and loosing for his own life? I'm not saying that we can't because he told us to do that, but I'm saying, look. Look at his place of dominion. Look at his place of dominion. So I'm saying that about Wigglesworth because I want you to know that there is a place we can get to. But it takes time and it takes great skill to get to that place. Do you understand? All right. Now, Pastor Nancy was dealing with a situation and it was bothering her a lot. Remember, not disquieted, not disturbed. But she was disquieted and disturbed, just like all of us are a lot of the time. But she said, listen to her prayer. I repent, Father. I've been too accessible to these thoughts. The fact that I'm troubled by this means I've turned to the mental arena instead of my spirit. And another time, the Lord, the Devil was just hammering, hammering, hammering, hammering. And she was answering that like, you need to answer it. When you answer it, what are you doing? You're rebuking it. That's another way of saying it. But you're rebuking it, right? But then the Lord said to her, now take this with a grain of salt. Don't take this too far and run with it if you're not ready. I'm just telling you what's available, not saying what's usable for all of you right now. I'm just saying what's available. So she's answering. She's answering. She's answering. She's answering because she can feel that demon just harassing her. And the Lord said to her, if you would, you can do that if you want. Remember that. But if you'll just come closer to me, spend time in my presence, you would be so inaccessible to those feelings. You wouldn't even. You wouldn't even notice they were there. Now you know what he's saying? What he's saying is you can get to the place where you don't have to rebuke. That's what he's saying. Now answer it. But you can, Nancy. You can get over into the secret place of the most High. You can get into that spirit realm where you live there, where you are so inaccessible to all this nonsense and all this barking and all this noise, where you are so inaccessible to it, you don't even ignore it. You turn your back on it. You don't even need to waste your breath to say, I bind you because you. You're in a place where it can't really touch you. Do you understand? That is ultimate dominion when you don't even need to rebuke it, you just turn away from it because you're inaccessible to it. But most people don't live inaccessible. Most people live way out here and they're surrounded by it. And you better rebuke it when you're surrounded by it. But I'm just saying you can get to a place in God if you'll get into the inaccessible, secret place of the spirit. Most people don't know that. But I'm just telling you it's available. It's up to you if you want to pursue that or not. It's your call. But I'm just saying it is available. And she said, lord, I'm too accessible to these thoughts. I'm too accessible to these emotions. I'm too accessible to the atmospheres of these demons. I repent of that because it Means that I've turned to the mental arena. That's where that fight is. If I stay in the spirit and if I go deeper in the spirit, yes, I'm still going to rebuke. But I can get to the point eventually where I am so cocooned that I just. I know what they're doing. I'm not stupid. But I just turned my back to them. No, no, you're not worthy of my attention or my speech. I'm with my father right now. That's the place I'm after now. I'll always rebuke it in other people, but I'm talking about for my life. I'm trying to get to that place. I'm not really there because a lot of the times I still know I need to. How do you know, Pastor? How do I know? I just need to know how I know. I don't know. I don't know. And I'm really worried about not knowing. I told you not to worry, but I'm worried about that now. Follow the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will show you. He'll prompt you, rebuke that. But, Lord, I need to get to that place of inaccessibility. Yeah, I know, but you're not even close to it. Just rebuke it. Answer it. But when you're getting closer, then he'll prompt you and you'll say, turn away. Don't rebuke it. Just turn away. Just keep worshiping. Just keep saying, it'll dissipate. Don't even waste your breath on it when it sounds like it's an oxymoron. It sounds like it's a double standard. Well, sometimes you rebuke, sometimes you don't. I'm saying you always rebuke, but you can get to a place where now you don't need to. That's all I'm trying to say. Don't take that too far. And then say, pastor Craig told me not to rebuke the devil. Okay, I'm not saying that. You understand what I'm saying? There isn't a place of inaccessibility for the believer. Nobody teaches about this. And if you don't hear that it's possible, you. You'll never aim for it. I'm trying to let you know that there's a place that you can aim for that's higher than where we're at today. And it's a wonderful place. And I've experienced it very minimally in my life, but I have experienced it a tiny bit. Pastor Nancy's Experienced it more than I have. Wigglesworth lived there. I want to live there. But you got to get in the secret place to live there. You got to stay in the secret place to live there. That means constant consecration. Not everybody is willing to do the constant consecration. Amen. We are to be untroubled by the enemy, untroubled by symptoms, untroubled by sickness, untroubled by atmospheres, untroubled by thoughts. Listen to this. Whatever your attention you put your attention on has access. Everything, really, ultimately is about your attention. That's why I'm saying I don't always want my attention to be focused on those demons, but I have to sometimes look at them to rebuke them. But my attention needs to be on the Lord. Whatever your attention is on has access to your life. Second Chronicles. I won't read it, but I'll quote it. 2012 the king said, Our eyes, O Lord, are on you. One of my favorite verses. Why my attention is on you. What I'm acknowledging is you. Not the problem. Not the financial crisis, not the fact that I can't pay my rent. My eyes are on you. That doesn't mean I ignore these things, but my eyes are on you. Because I know that's where my help is going to come from. It's going to come from you. So what you acknowledge is what directs you. Remember, the Bible says, in all your ways. Proverbs 3. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths. So when you put your attention on him, there's direction that comes. So stop looking at the devil all the time. Yes, rebuke him if you need to, but put your attention on the Lord. Put your attention on the Lord. Put your attention on the Lord. Because where your attention is, where your acknowledgement is, is where the direction comes from. If you don't like the way you're being directed, change what you're acknowledging. Because you're acknowledging your sickness more than you are the healer. You're acknowledging your financial crisis more than you are the provider. How should I. If you don't like where you're being directed, change what your attention's on. Because whatever you acknowledge, that's going to direct you. In all my ways. I want to acknowledge the Word. I want to acknowledge what he said. And then he'll direct me. Not acknowledge what the doctor says. And we're not against the doctor. God's not against the application of medicine. He's just upset when there's no faith attached to it. Do you understand? Praise The Lord. Now, Pastor J said this statement, I thought it was very powerful. The devil will try to get you to take those thoughts. He's talking about worry. And whenever you take those thoughts, that means you're meditating now. You're thinking on them. They're nesting in your hair. Then some things in your thought life that belongs to the devil, that was a different spin on it. The devil will try to get you to take those thoughts. And then whenever you do take those thoughts, now you're in worry. Now there's something in your thought life, the worry that belongs to the devil. And when there's something in your thought life that belongs to the devil, you legally give the devil access because he owns it. You can't stop him from coming in. You can't stop him from ravaging you because you took something that he owns. Do you understand? That was a different way of thinking about it. The devil has. He owns worry. That's his turf. Now, if he can get you to take it, you're now got contraband. He has a legal right to enter your house to get what he owns. And while he's in there, he's going to beat you up. So don't take the worry thought because you don't want to take something that he owns because it gives him a legal right to have access to you. I love the way that he said that because I never thought of it being like that. I just think of worry being like it doesn't have a side, it's just a thing. And I'm not supposed to take it. But if you really think about it, worry is fear. The devil is the prince of fear and he owns worry. So when you touch it, you've got something that he owns. People say, the devil's after me. Why is he after you? What do you have that's his? He's like a bloodhound after you. Why you got something that is? If I put a stake in my pocket. Daisy loves me very much. All the time. Whether she does or not, she's after me, right, because I got something she wants. Do you understand? So don't touch things that he owns because he has a right to come after you. If he owns it and you've got it, he has a right to come after you. Don't touch pornography, don't touch stealing, don't touch cussing, because those things, now you got contraband on you. And now he says you can do all your rebuking that you want. No, no, there's something there that it's mine. You touched it. You touched the unclean thing. I have a right to oppress you now. So people binding the devil all day long, but if they don't deal with the worry, the devil's not going to listen to you anyway. If they don't get rid of the addiction, the devil's not going to listen to you anyway. You can't bind the devil without authority. Authority doesn't work when you're in sin, and sin is worry. I love the way he said that, Jenny. He owns that. If you touch it now, you're holding something he owns now. He has a legal right to access you. He's coming for his property. Whoa. My God. So don't touch it now. Don't say it's so powerful when Pastor J said it, and it's not so powerful when I said it. No, I'm kidding, Chantelle. I'm totally kidding. I'm totally kidding. Pastor Nancy said this. If your mind acknowledges the wrong thing while you're praying in tongues, it will affect what flows out of your spirit. Some people think I can just go on autopilot. I'm not praying in tongues. I'm just, you know, whatever, making sounds, but you know what I'm saying. And you're just thinking about, oh, yeah, that Swiss chalet sauce. So good. Yeah. You know, Lord, I think we might go to Jamaica this year. I'm not sure about that. And you're just praying, but your mind is just whatever. And now, see, that's autopilot tongues. That's not you connecting your tongue to your spirit and being in that place that you should be. And Pastor Nancy says when you don't guard your mind when you're speaking in other tongues. Okay. Because your mind is acknowledging things that should not acknowledge. Meditating on things that you. Not that they're sinful things, but it's not the appropriate time. Right now, we're praying. If you do that, the flow out of your spirit will be greatly reduced, greatly affected, to the point that dad Hagin said you can actually pray in counterfeit. Not counterfeit. That's not the right word. What did he call it? Where it's just your spirit is not even hooked up. What's the word, Jenny? Remember he gave a name for. Wasn't automatic tongues. It was another word. I'll have to look it up. Anybody remember? I have taught tongues. Thank you. My Lord has given me counsel. My legal aid has helped me taught tongues. Your spirit knows what tongue sounds like. My spirit knows what it sounds like. I can just Disconnect from my spirit and just parrot it. But nothing's coming out of my spirit. That's mental tongues, and that is not good. You don't want to do that. That's autopilot tongues. No, I want there to be an utterance. You'll pray in other tongues as the Spirit gives you utterance. You've got to have utterance. And if you have utterance many times, your tongues will change sounds. Not all the times, but sometimes because the Holy Ghost won't keep it all the same all the time because he's got wondrous variety. So don't just be all acknowledging everything else and go on autopilot or taught tongues. Make sure there's a connection and a flow to your spirit and that you are focusing and you're doing business with God. Do you understand? Because he said people can pray in taught tongues, but that's not really coming out of your spirit. Now, I'm not saying it's a sin and it's evil and everybody has to be afraid and call appointments for me. And Pastor Happy is like, Pastor, there's 70 appointments for you. Because everybody is doing taught tongues and they think that they're going to lose their salvation or the Holy Ghost is going to leave him. Please don't do that. I'm not saying it's a sin, but what I'm saying is that it is not effective and it is not spiritual and it is not scriptural. We all can be. Can be. We can all do that sometimes when we are really tired, when we are really distracted and we are not really focused. But I'm saying learn when you're doing that and stop praying. It'd be better to stop praying and wait till you can focus a little bit. And you can. I don't just mean focus that you can drive and you can pray in tongues and be focused. I'm not saying you have to be in your prayer closet doing nothing. But there needs to be a conscious. Lord, I thank you for the utterance in Jesus name. I'm praying out by the Holy Ghost. You're giving me the utterance. This is not just me parroting something. I know what it sounds like. Do you understand? Thank you for the unction. Thank you for that flow of the Spirit. That's where you want to be. And don't get too comfortable with the other. Don't get comfortable at all because it's really not coming out of your spirit. So really you're doing nothing. It's just a mental babble. Praise God. If Our attention. I like this. If our attention is in him, we've tapped into the light and easy flow, not the hard flow. See, worry is part of the hard flow. Now, Oral Roberts said this statement. Oral Roberts was praying one day, and he said, I was believing hard. Like, I mean, I'm intense. I'm believing hard. And listen to what God said to him. God said, you don't need to pray hard, son. You just need to pray easy because I did the hard part. Sometimes we can get into prayer, and it's like, you know, now if there's an anointing to birth, and then you got to do that. But I'm saying, some people, there's no anointing for it, but they're just going through a hard time. And then they're like, lord, I got to show you I'm serious about this. I got to show you that look, I'm really serious. They're really praying, but it's not the anointing. That's what Oral was doing. He was praying hard. Like, he's pressured, and there's a lot of. And he wants God to know he's taking it serious. Lord, I'm serious. And God said, I love the Lord. He said, oral, you don't need to pray hard. You just pray easy, son. In other words, just let it flow. I already did the hard part. All the hard part's done. We just tap into the spirit. The spirit's not hard. The spirit's easy. If you're praying hard and there's no anointing for it, you're not in the spirit. You're in the soul. That's why a lot of denominational churches, that's all they know how is to pray in the soul. Because there's a lot of screaming, there's a lot of sweating, there's a lot of jumping, There's a lot of shouting. Because that's all soul. Now, you can do that spirit, but in most cases, that soul. Because they haven't been taught to get out of their soul and into their spirit. Do you understand? Remember when we were in South Korea, Precious people, wonderful people. This is not Young Hee Cho's opinion, but some of his leaders had said this. I'm not knocking him. But they said, prayer is hard. Remember, they got up and they said to 30,000 people, they said, prayer is hard. Prayer is hard, but we must do it. So let's pray now. And you get 30,000 people praying, and they're all like, but I'm there. I'm not there to criticize I'm there to receive. But I could tell the anointing is not here. I turned to Jenny. I said, jenny, there's a lot of people screaming. There's other people crying. There's other people gyrating. I said, do you feel the anointing? She looked at me, she goes, not one ounce. I said, Isn't that amazing? 30,000 people praying for a national revival and there's no anointing. Because they started by saying, this is hard. Let's do it. Even though it's hard, let's show God we mean business. Don't pray like that. It's not hard. God did the hard part. You've got an easy part. Click into your spirit and pray it out. Hallelujah. Last one. Worry talks about the need. Faith talks about the supply. Put that up, please. Worry talks about the need. Faith talks about the supply. We never talk about the need. We only talk about the supply. If you're in worry, you're always going to say how short you are, how expensive things are, how you don't know what's going to happen. When you start talking that way, you automatically know you're in worry. I'm giving you seven statements. This is the last one that proves that you're in worry. Now, mark 4. 38. Don't worry. You're not eating. Your pizza will be fine when you get out of here. Might not be that hot, but it's going to be okay. Psalm Mark 4. 38. And there arose, verse 37. There was a great storm of wind, and the waves beat onto the ship, and it was now full. When it's full, it means you're going to sink, by the way. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow, evidently a wet pillow. And they awake him and they say unto him, master, carest thou not that we perish? And he rebuked the wind and the sea and said, peace be still. And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. And he said to them, why are you so fearful? Why are you so worried? This is life and death, Blair. And he still said, don't worry. So when you're in life and death, you don't have the right to worry. Why are you so worried? How is it that you have no faith? What's the answer to fear and worry? Faith. But I want you to notice something very important. Jesus, as a man of faith, in a very high stress situation that could have cost their life, refused to still worry, right? But when he didn't worry, he Got accused. Why? Why are you doing this? Don't you love us? Don't you care? We're going to drown? See, people that are worried want to tell people that are not worried that they don't have a love walk. Dad. Hagin, honey, I'm just not worried. Well, Kenneth, it would seem to me that if I dropped dead, you wouldn't worry. He said, why would I worry? You'd be dead. That's not a wise thing to say to your wife. But you understand the point. The point is he's not worried. She's persecuting him for not worrying. He won't worry. And the disciples are getting upset with him. Don't you love us? And this is the classic thing we. When you're not worried and somebody else wants you to worry, well, don't you love me? Don't you care? What's wrong with you? See, they're trying to let you think that loving them is worry. No, it's the opposite. Because if Jesus had worried, he wouldn't. His power wouldn't have worked with the storm and they actually all probably would have died except him. But the fact that Jesus wasn't worried is what saved their life. So why are you telling somebody that you don't worry? What are you doing? Don't you love me? You should be saying the opposite. Thank you for not worrying because of the fact that I'm worrying, but you're not. You're gonna help me get out of this. Do you understand? Sometimes I'm in the meeting with people and they're going through bad things and I'm being concerned and I'm loving them, but I won't worry. And sometimes people say, pastor, you like. Don't you understand how serious this is? What they're really saying is, why aren't you worrying with me? Well, my worry is not going to help you. My worry is going to sink you. What you need is me to be in faith, sister. What you need to be in faith so spouses don't engage worrying with the other. And if somebody accuses you, just don't worry about it. Jesus was accused of the same thing. Are you with me? Hallelujah. Elsewhere, he was also accused of not caring. Now, when you have a wary, carefree life, everybody that isn't worried and carefree will accuse you of not loving them. Do you understand? Praise the Lord. And when you talk about the supply, remember we said, put it. Don't take it off. Put it up there, please. The worry talks about the need. Now, when you're Talking about the supply. Always remember to talk about angels with that because angels are here to help you with that supply. Hallelujah. I was in a, you know, I was in a situation recently and actually today there was something that happened today. I needed help. I couldn't figure it out. Something wouldn't work. It was on the computer. Something wouldn't work. And I was under a very tight time frame and I had to get something done or something would go wrong. And I'm trying and it wouldn't work. And I'm trying and it wouldn't work. And I'm trying and it wouldn't work. And I'm getting frustrated because it should work. I don't know. And I'm not very techy anyway, so that makes me even more frustrated. Then I start cursing Peter and all this bad stuff. You know, I'm just kidding, I don't do that. But I'm just thinking, why won't this work? And I remember I said, because I'm starting to get into the habit of asking angels to help me instead of waiting until everything falls apart and then asking them to help me. So I said, angel, help me. Sometimes when you're in a lot, you don't have to quote. You do have to quote scripture, but you don't have to be legalistic with it. That angel knows me well enough that I know the scripture. I don't always have to quote it to him. Although you should quote it. But I just said, angel, help me. I need your help. And it didn't work. Again. And it didn't work. What are you doing? I asked you to help me get the. What is going on here? Because I'm on a tight time frame. But then that angel, a thought came into me would never normally have come to me. Greg, I know it was not my thought, but it was just like from the outside I could just go chew. This thought came to me. Now you know what that is? That's what Norvo says that sometimes angels, Joe Morris has seen this. Angels stand beside people and they whisper in their ear. And when they whisper, a thought comes into your mind. And a thought came into my mind, do this. And I thought, oh, I never thought of that. So I went and I did. Took me about 10 minutes to do what I need. What that thought suggested I did went back, worked perfectly. I would have never thought to do that. But that thought came to me, do this. Now I had just told that angel three times, help me. Help me. See, sometimes we say help me and we are expecting all of A sudden doesn't work. Doesn't work. Help me works because we're just expecting him to put his finger somewhere and do something with the electronic. Do you understand? But sometimes the answer is not that. The answer is him telling you what to do. So what I'm saying is you can have a need and you can be worried about it. Don't talk about that need. Get over into faith and talk to those angels. But don't always expect them to just fix it like a ripe apple off a tree. Because sometimes they'll prompt you what to do. Because. Because you have a place, you have a part to play in that action. Other times they'll just fix it for you. We've had many stories of both. But listen, if you're always talking about how expensive everything is and how hard life is and how you don't know how you're going to make the bills at the end of the month, if that's what you're talking about, whether you realize it or not, you're in worry. Worry talks about the need. Faith talks about the supply. Even when you're pressured about the need. Talk about the supply. Talk about the supply. I have a supply. My God supplies all my needs. Angels. And then get those angels involved in that. Money talks about the need. Praise the Lord. Money warrior talks about the need. Now you can also have a situation where you are not necessarily in a need. I'm going to just digress for a quick second here. But it may not be a worry issue. It might just be a poverty minded issue. Because a warrior talks about the need, but a poor man talks about the need too. You may not even be worried about it, but you're just a poor thinker. So we had an anniversary. I gave her this ring. We went to an expensive hotel downtown, you know, for a romantic evening. Got up the next morning, had breakfast coming on the way home, had the breakfast and they only had two eggs. Don't give me no two eggs. Not for this beefcake. We need a little bit more. So they said two eggs. And that breakfast was already like $38 for two eggs, toast and just craziness. And I said for two eggs it's 38, whatever. Okay, I can't because I get Jenny upset. So I just. That's fine, just get out of here. Just do it. Just do it. So they bring the eggs and I said, no, this is not enough of me. I said I want another egg. So they said, okay, no problem sir. So they bring me another egg on a little plate and I Said, and I want an extra glass of orange juice. So they bring me another glass of orange juice. So then I get the bill, and I'm looking at the bill. $39 for the breakfast. $39 for the breakfast. One egg. How much was it, $8 or $10? $10, one egg, and there's a dash. $10. Then it says, glass of orange juice. Was it $16? Was it 16? Something like that? $16. And I said, what? What? What's going on here? This is criminal, highway robbery. Call the police. I'm about to call that waiter. I had my hand up like this to call him over, what is this? I heard the Lord speak to me. I'm telling you, I heard the Lord speak to me as loud as I'm talking to you. Because he didn't want me to call the waiter over, But I heard him speak to me. And he said, peasants talk about the worth. Kings talk about the enjoyment. I'm telling you, I heard it, just like I'm preaching to you right now. I had my hand up, and then I put my hand down. He said, peasants talk about what something's worth. Kings. Now, not everybody's at the king level, but you're made a king. But you've got to work your way from your God has made you spiritually in Christ a king. But your thinking is peasant. You've got to change your thinking to get up to king level. Do you understand? That takes many, many years, many times that takes an entire lifetime sometimes, depending on how poor people are. I never forgot that. Peasants talk about the worth of things. Well, that's not worth it. Oh, my God. That's not worth it. But the king. The king just talks about, I enjoyed that egg. That was a good egg. But you got ripped off. That's okay. Lot tried to rip him off. You take it. The blessings on me. And then the guy at the cave tried to sell him the cave at an exorbitant price for Sarah's tomb. He didn't argue. He didn't barter. He didn't say, well, I'm going to try. He just said, what do you want? Here it is. See, somebody that understands the blessing, they don't argue about this nonsense. I'm not talking about wasting money. I'm talking about a mindset. Do you understand that piece of steak is not worth $45? Well, then don't go to the restaurant, but don't complain to the waiter that it's not worth it because you're acting like a peasant. That's not the way children of God should act. And if your faith is not there yet, just don't go to the restaurant, go somewhere else until your faith can handle that. Do you understand? Praise God. You know, one of the richest men I know is Dr. Dennis Hedebaugh. You know how poor he was? I mean, broke, dead poor, nothing. I mean, he told me when him and Angie got married, they lived in a trailer with green shag carpet and rats lived with them in the trailer. They would live with the rats. They would hear them, see them, feed them. I'm sure the rats were with them. There was no heat. He had no suits. I mean, deep poverty. But he got his heart on the word of faith. And he started saying, lord, you didn't call me to live like an animal. You didn't call me to live with animals or like animals. You called me to. I'm supposed to be a king, but I'm living like a pauper. So he started tithing. He said, I'll never Forget the first $17 tithe I ever did. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I felt like I was going to pass out in Dr. Jacob's church. And he said, I put that tithe in, and I almost passed out. I can't believe I'm giving seven. Are you kidding me? 17. Like, what is God? He's exorbitant. I can't believe he's asking for $17. But he put that tithe in. He put the tithe in every day since. And he started releasing his faith. He's one of the richest men I know. He thinks rich. You know what he said to me? He said, I'll go with you, but the problem is I don't like going with too many ministers, like if we're going out for a little holiday or something. And I said, why? He goes, they don't think right. I said, what do you mean, Doctor? These are people in our company. What are you talking about? They don't think right. I said, what are you talking about? He goes, I'm not staying in no garbage hotel. All these ministers, all they talk about is the price. He said, you can travel with me. He said, we don't talk about price. We don't talk about it because we walk a higher level. We're not talking about waste. We're talking about thinking like a king. And so him and I are going on our first vacation this year. And he said, now, Craig, listen. He said, I'm just telling you, I'm not going with you if you're going to be talking about the price all the time. I said I'm not like those other people. I don't talk about the price. Well I do, but I'm going to stop it. I'm going to change, change. I'm going to change, I'm going to plan the trip so that I know exactly where we're going. But he said, please don't be all poverty broke minded like these other ministers and everything is a pinch and everything is a, we can't go to that restaurant. He said, let's just, let's just set some money aside, use your faith for the money, have it aside and then go and just enjoy yourself. I said Dr. Had about don't you worry, we're going to just go and enjoy ourselves. There is, we're not, I'm ready to set money aside, God's blessed me, we're going to be fine. He said because not everybody who's a faith person thinks right, even ministers. So that is a form of worry. It is, it's small mindedness, it's small thinking. But you just got to go with where your heart's at. Don't judge me. Go with where your heart's at. Do you understand? And if you're at the most broke down grocery store in the city with the rats, then just as you're going say father help me, bless me, bless me so I can do more. And then start saying I have a supply and I don't shop with the rats. Start saying it, I have a supply and I don't shop with the rats. And then he'll prompt you, he'll lead you. Don't do it till he leads you. He'll lead you, step up there now, then you're there. And then don't step up till he leads you again. Don't go to the most expensive grocery store and strut around and go praise God, I'm just in the blessing of God. And then you get to the counter and then the credit card won't work. And then sir, sir, seven nineteen hundred dollars for your groceries, it doesn't work and you go well bless God, it should work because I'm in faith. And then they kick you out of the thing, the police come, you're an embarrassment. Don't hand out a promise of life card and in that grocery store just get your faith there and until you're there, just shop with the rats. Do you understand? You don't bite off more than you can chew, pardon the pun. You don't do that. You go little by little Little by little. One year at a time. One year at a time. One year at a time. Get your giving increasing to the church. Start buying nicer dresses. Start buying nicer shoes. One year at a time. One year. Don't go in debt. Believe God for the money up front. One year at a time and you'll see. Stop talking about the need. Stop talking about the need. Remember he looked at that house once. Doctor said, he said, lord, I can't afford that. And the Lord said, don't you ever tell me that again. Don't you ever tell me you can't afford it. You might not be able to afford it today, but I'm your supply. You just say, if that's the plan of God, I have a supply. It might take 10 years, but you just say, if that's the plan of God, I have a supply. Don't talk about the need. Don't talk poverty. Don't think poverty. Don't think peasant, don't think broke. Don't act broke. But don't act super highfalutin if you're broke. But just don't talk it. You might be broke. He was broke, but he started saying, I'm blessed of the Lord, I have a three piece suit. He says that for a long time before he ever bought one. I have a three piece suit. I'm the blessed of the Lord. I'm the blessed of the Lord. And then all of a sudden that extra money started coming in. That extra job came in, that extra offering came in. And now he's got something. He goes, oh, I'm the blessed of the Lord. Wow, I can actually buy a suit now. That's how we did it. That's how all of us did it. We didn't just go highfalutin and go in debt. We didn't look down on people that were poor. We stay humble, but we don't accept where we're at. We don't talk about the need. We don't talk about the need. So when worry comes, what do you do? You first answer it and say, no, you don't. That's not my thought. That's not my thought. That's not my thought. And you better get vocal. What's the second thing you do? Turn to the word. What does the word say? What does the word say? Father, this is my concern. I thank you, I believe now I release my faith with thanksgiving. Thank you for peace. What does the word say? And then just keep praising, just keep praising, Lord, I will not worry. I cast this care unto you. I praise you that the money is coming. Lord, you see the tires I had to fix. I don't have the money for the tires. But you see those tires, I will not worry. I answer that. No, that thought is not my thought. Lord, I thank you for the money for the tires. Lord, whether you give me a witty idea, whether somebody blesses me or have an extra shift or I don't care how you do it, but I say I have a supply for those tires in the name of Jesus. And I refuse to worry about the tires. You're not going to be specific. Don't just say I'm not worrying, say I'm not worrying about the tires. Do you understand? And then if you just keep releasing your faith, you just give it time, as Agnovican it always works. The money will come, the supply will come, the tires will be on your car. Hallelujah. Amen. A little bit of a four part series on worry didn't get through all my notes, but I think I got through the most important points. Don't talk about the need. We could put the word price instead of need. Stop talking about it. Stop talking about the price of gasoline. Just I have a supply, I have a supply, I have a supply. And then don't be surprised when God blesses you with finances. When your boss comes and says, hey, I feel like, you know, I should give you a promotion. Don't look at them and go, I don't want that. That's too much responsibility. God just tried to get the supply you talked about into your hand, but you don't want the responsibility for the higher supply. So then you stay poor. So pay attention when that supply is coming because it's not always going to come with a hand person putting it in your hand. Sometimes you got to work for it. But God will give you opportunities to work for it. Don't turn those down, but make sure you're led by the Spirit. At the same time, don't accept it if you're now never going to be able to come to church. But make sure you're led by the Spirit in it. Amen. Father, I thank you in Jesus name Lord, we are on a war. This is a war against worry. I've made the decision, Father, in September in Brazil. And I'll never go back on it. I'll never intentionally on purpose with my own decision making ability, worry again. No matter what it's about, no matter what it's for, even if it costs me my life, I will not do it. Dad. Hagin had to get to that place on the bed of sickness. Every one of us has to get to that place where we say enough is is enough. We will never intentionally on purpose do this again. Now Lord, if we're so used to it we might trip a couple times because we do it second nature. But the Holy Ghost is our helper and he is not pushing us down, he's lifting us up and he'll correct us and convict us and we'll over time realize, oh, that's how I don't do it. That's how I don't worry, that's how I stay in faith. But Lord, we'll never on purpose do it again. And if we miss it by accident, be patient with us, Father. Teach us, Holy Spirit. Because our hearts, our goal is to live a worry free life, a fearless life, a life of faith, a life of supply, a life of belief in you because you are the great Almighty God who's against who, against whose power no foe can stand. Hallelujah. So there's nothing for us to worry about. I give you praise and glory in the name of Jesus, Lord. Whether they realized it or not, there was a lot of nuggets tonight. There was a lot of nuggets that came out for them. Some in my notes, some by the Spirit of God. That's why they come, because those nuggets can apply to many of them if they'll be humble enough to receive it.
