Pastor/Preacher (2:33)

Research shows there is a significant connection between the ability to continue to work and cancer recovery. We can make work a better place for healing, learn more and sign the pledge@workingwithcancerpledge.com. This sounds like something some weirdo that's a preacher would say, but I can only say what I'm told right now. An angel's going to your house before you get there and clearing the way. Your house will be different when you come back. Your. Your house won't be a tormenting place or a sad place. God's presence will be in that house. Pray that angel would even screw the light bulb tighter so that it'll be brighter in there. Not. Not like dingy Jesus name. We are raising up a family in this church. We're raising up a family in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. We're raising up a family in Texas that don't just know about God, they know God. They've handled his power. They've seen his power flow through him. You're coming out of here today carrying fresh fire, fresh anointing. Never to take another backward step. Take your Bible if you want to go, go to Proverbs 13:22, Proverbs chapter 13, verse 22. Time goes quick in this service. I want to get right to it. I want to give you a concept that you hear people talk about maybe, but maybe don't know where it is in the Scripture. And it's going to be what my subject is for today. A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. Now think about how much money that is. If you're taking it literally for that you have money left over. Your children can't spend it all, and then they leave that to their grandchildren. I mean, you're talking about minimum eight figures. A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just replacing the curse of generational poverty with the blessing of generational wealth. Most churches won't tell you that you can get out of poverty. In fact, they tell you it's going to be hard in the ministry. You're not going to have any money in the ministry. I remember I was in Bible school and they were saying, you're not going to have any money because you're a young Bible college student. The guy that the guest speaker was like 62 and he started talking about how he doesn't have any money. So I started to realize it's not a time problem because he was still broke 40 years after he graduated. So you realize that nothing changes until it comes from the word. So if people tell you that you can't get out and life's always going to be hard, and that's how most of us were raised. Pentecostal, Charismatic, full gospel Christians are in the bottom third and actually I think in the bottom 20% of household incomes in the country. Because I don't know why they're like allergic to money. The pastors don't teach. Right. The totality, I would say as a preacher's kid, growing up in church and going to church every day, every week for multiple days in a week, the totality of the financial teaching I received was to try to save up and get a good credit score. And that was it. Nobody ever told me that about generational blessing. In fact, I remember my dad telling me one time, and I'm not knocking my father, I love my father. But he didn't know either. He kind of learned after they thought I went off the reservation and were worried about me getting into prosperity. And then after years went by and it started, it didn't lead me away from my wife, it didn't lead me away from God. When God started giving us money, I didn't. I mean, you've seen what's happened in the four years here. The more money you give me, the more churches there's gonna be and the better the country's gonna be and it's not gonna take my place between me and God. And when they saw that, then my dad would start asking me questions. My mom told me a couple years ago, she said, you know, I've read the Bible through since I was a teenager and I never saw these verses or these stories till you showed us. You know, my Amish friends are here. They told me, you know, they don't teach healing in the Amish church. And then when you taught it now, now I see it. So they keep parts of the Bible blind to you. And it would do the devil well for the church to be completely financially ignorant. That building that we're building, we have the permits. It'll be ready April 5, 2026, to use the whole building for that day, for Resurrection Sunday. That would be in a normal church, a 20 year project. This would be. I mean, let's be honest, if we were a normal church, you would be born in this building, you would grow up in this building, you'd be a grandparent in this building, and you'd die in this building. The church does not grow. They don't grow financially. They don't grow. The altar calls. But when you read the Bible, they went from 120 in the prayer meeting to 3120 on day one. Then the Bible says the believers in Jerusalem numbered about 5,000 a couple chapters later. Then they said, who are these men that have filled the whole of Jerusalem with their doctrine?

Reynolds Kitchens Host (8:17)

And.

Pastor/Preacher (8:17)

And then who are these men that have turned the whole world upside down? Everybody say, increase. Every area of your life with God begins to increase. And the financial part, if you leave that out, you're going to end up with a bunch of people that miss work or miss church when they have to work, because they don't understand. They think you get spiritual stuff here, maybe healing, maybe tongues, but if you want to actually live real life, then you got to go make it happen yourself. And then when the sales team tells you that after this is over, we all go drink at the hotel lobby, and that's where the deals are made. You go drink in the lobby, you do what they tell you you have to do to make money. I've been shocked how many gang members I've met of all kinds. White gang members, black ones, Hispanic. All kinds. And they know Bible. They believe in the church. But you can't, you know, I gotta make a living. If you don't teach people the Jehovah Jireh side of God and the El Shaddai side of God, then they always leave the church to go make a living. But I'm telling you, God has more riches under his little fingernail than all of the world put together. He owns all the silver and all the gold. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. And he has a vested interest in blessing his children. Let me see, Proverbs 13:22 again. A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. Everybody say generational wealth. Some people teach you that you'll never break out of the financial part. And then some churches will get a little more light and tell you, God will meet your needs. But that's not God will meet your needs. That's that God will start to do a work. I'm starting to have the beginnings of it now. I mean, we have a house by the blessing of God. That was given to my wife and I, first one we ever had. It was given to us. $846,000 home. That can be Camila's. That can be. That's something. I'm going to leave already, and I'm just getting warmed up. That God didn't say that he would give you enough to meet your needs. He said there'd be enough that your children are going to find out what's left. I'm not taking a show of hands, but many of us, when we had a grandmother or grandfather die, we didn't find out what we got left. We found out how much we owed. You know, the. The brothers and sisters have to kick in this much. The children have to kick in this much. We had a family member die that my great grandmother on one of my sides, they asked the grandchildren to kick in, I think, 50 bucks a piece. That's Christian. That's Christians. Christians are essentially allergic to money. They don't understand. And then if you teach on it, of course, you people are in a different class. But your average church, if you announced a title like this, there's churches that you came from that if the pastor announced he was going to preach on, replacing the curse of generational poverty with the blessing of generational wealth, he would be called in by the board and told to either change what he's going to preach on or be dismissed. And then. So what happens if you don't understand it the Bible way? How does an average church operate? Do they put the eight most spiritual people on the board, or do they put the eight people that are the biggest givers on the board, even if they don't even really go to church? Which is it? Givers? I remember I was working at a church in Boston, and they made me the youth pastor, and there was going to be a board meeting, and I looked at the sheet for the board meeting. I wasn't on the board. I said, pastor, so and so. Who is this guy? I've been coming here two years. I don't remember meeting him. You know, it was only a church of about 180. Oh, he. Yeah, he. He doesn't come much, but he's a contractor, and he helped build this church. Who's this guy? He owns a plumbing company. He's a big giver. Has the ability to write large checks. Well, then what happens? Why did most of your churches shut down during COVID Because they were run by unspiritual men that run things by what an insurance company thinks should be done or lawyers think should be done. Did you know, just so you know, because you go to this church that we have oversight. I'm licensed with, ordained with Jesse Duplantis Ministries. We had a board meeting two weeks ago in Las Vegas. We have a board. I think there's 11 people on the board. Now, we have a legal board meeting every year in person, not on zoom. They're all pastors. Everybody that's on the board is a minister because that's how the church is supposed to operate. It is not a secular institution, nor is it a spiritual institution that has to operate secularly to get its wealth. God has a supernatural way to get wealth to his people, but if you don't know it from the word, you'll never get it. Just like some of you went to a church for 35 years and never saw one person healed, even though they got a cross and a Bible. If you don't teach the people. Acts 19. Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? No, they replied, we haven't even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. Nobody will ever receive what they don't have taught and preached to them. So I'm going to take this morning and teach to you eight ways that you can come like I did, from where you're paying every family. Nobody ever died in that family and left anything to anybody. I mean, think of it. You die and people have to pay to bury your body. You didn't even accumulate seven grand. What is it, a funeral? Not nine grand. Seven. If you're not going to do cremation, in fact, Christians, and I hate saying this because it's all most people are going to get out of it. They're going to wait. Is that so? Is it wrong to cremate? I'm not saying it for that reason, but the Bible doesn't teach cremation. That's Buddhist and Hindu. The Bible teaches burial because God redeemed our body and one day the body will come out of the ground. It's called a proper Christian burial. Why do Christians cremate? Yeah, how much is it to cremate? 3,000. Somebody's doing it all the time. Just shut up. Running a crematorium. No, I know. And then how much is a burial? 9, 10, or 11. So, you know, people die. And in 70 years, they never accumulated $10,000 for their burial, never made a plan for it. Everybody say, that's not going to be me. One thing you're going to learn from the Bible is God doesn't care if you come from the lowest of the low. In fact, there's a scripture. He takes the beggar from the dunghill and sets him among princes. He takes the beggar. We don't have that here. But back in that era where they sat out, where they dumped the trash and the sewage and lived out there, God will take somebody from there and set them among princes. That's going to be your story after today. In Jesus name, if you believe it, can you say amen? Galatians 3, 13, 14. But Christ has redeemed us from all the curse of the law. Galatians 3, 13, 14. Wakey, wakey in the media room. Galatians 3, 13,. 14. Christ hath redeemed us from all the curse of the law being made a curse for us, for it is written. Cursed is everyone who's hung on a tree. 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus. What kind of blessing? Everybody say the blessing of Abraham. Okay, so if that's the blessing that we have, then I want to know what is the blessing of Abraham. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus. That we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Now, someone could say this and they'd be wrong, but, well, it's not saying the money blessing. It's saying the blessing of the Holy Spirit. Did Abraham ever speak in tongues? No, he didn't. I'm not saying it's not the blessing of the Holy Spirit. But you know the Holy Spirit, who gives you the ability to speak in tongues, who heals. Did you know the Bible says in Psalm 23:5, Thou anointest my head with oil. What happens to your cup? My cup runs over. So I want you to see the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, Jesus the Son and God the Father. They're three in one. They're not different from. They have the same attributes. God the Father is a blesser. God the Father is a multiplier. The Holy Spirit is a blesser. And the Holy Spirit, when he gets on you and gets on what you do, he doesn't cause decrease, he causes increase. Thou anointest my head with oil, My cup runneth over. Let me see Galatians 3:14. Through that the blessing of Abraham would come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit by faith. Verse 29. Let me go through a decent amount of scriptures here. And if ye be Christ, everybody say I am, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. Nlt if you would. And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs. And everything God promised Abraham belongs to you. This is where my breakthrough started. I was reading that when I was 23 years old. Everything that God promised Abraham belongs to me. Okay, then I'M going to go back to Genesis chapter 12, verse one where we meet Abraham and I'm going to read through to when Abraham goes to Abraham's bosom, leaves the earth and going to read everything that God told Abraham he could have. Did he talk to him about land? Did he talk to him about increase? Or did he just talk to him about healing and stuff? Everybody say every blessing now that's powerful. And this is where I start getting off track and don't finish my notes. In Abraham's day, God had already said, men will live no longer past 120 years. Abraham lived longer. He overshot the 120 years Abraham was leading men into battle. In his 80s, not on a walker with tennis balls on the front. He was in hand to hand combat. In his 80s. Everybody say unusual strength. Abraham's wife was unable to have children and he received a supernatural childbirth miracle through Sarah by his faith when he was 100. And actually the Bible says it's just as big a miracle to father a child at 100. His body was as good as dead. But he considered not the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb, but reckoned that God was able to do everything that he promised and staggered. Not at the promises of God can you say amen. And so that's a blessing of Abraham. Everything that God promised Abraham belongs to you. I command everything to form right in this child right now. Quickly discharge from the nicu. Do it oh Lord, to confirm your word in Jesus name. Let that baby be a mighty preacher. You have your baby last week, Thursday of last week and just share.

Parent of NICU Baby (19:18)

We found out about 20 weeks gestational age that he had a hole in his diaphragm and his stomach. We were told at that time his stomach was in his chest cavity. And they sent us to Cincinnati Children's Hospital because they have a team of specialists there. They want to do an experimental surgery. And we said, no, you're not playing with my baby. We believe in God, we don't believe in experimental surgery. So we knew, we knew very early on that it was going to be a battle. They kept telling us his lungs were going to be underdeveloped. His heart was shifted to the right side of his chest, which was really weird when he was born to see his heartbeat on the wrong side of his chest. It was really freaky. Today we found out that God has moved his heart almost back to the center. His right lung is starting to show that it's making some sounds. It's not Ready to breathe on its own yet. And I finally have a doctor that is telling me he actually has two lungs, which we've stood on all along. They're calling it a lung nub on his left side. So we're gonna call it his little nub. That's gonna grow. Cause that's what it will do. He was removed from dialysis yesterday morning. They're looking at taking his. He has a stomach drain. Cause they weren't sure if his stomach was gonna work at all. So he has a stomach drain that they're gonna let the air into today. And providing that. I'm expecting that we're gonna hear the air that's gonna go through his gut, that's gonna come out tonight or tomorrow morning. And they're gonna put a feeding tube in so he can start getting my milk in his little body. About 20 weeks gestation, they sent us in for our anatomy scan. And they immediately called us and said, we've called in somebody else for you. And then that person said, oh, by the way, we've called another person. He had almost no diaphragm. So his stomach, 20 weeks gestation. They could see it in the pictures. His intestines, his stomach, his liver, and his spleen were taking up all of the place of his left lung. It was pushing his heart to the right side of his chest, his esophagus to the right side of his chest, and he almost had no right lung. Prognosis was extremely grim. At best, 50% chance of life for him. They wanted to do an experimental treatment for him. And we turned it down because God's word says, he is healed, he is healthy, he is whole. He spent 128 days in the NICU. And we did the surgery to have his diaphragm repaired. And I told my kids, wait and see. You made room for God. God's going to fill this chest with two whole lungs. Just last week was the first time I saw his left lung and his right lung the same size on the X rays. God is so good. Only God. Today is his birthday.

Pastor/Preacher (22:26)

Abraham's wife was unable to have children. And he received a supernatural childbirth miracle through Sarah, by his faith, when he was 100. And actually, the Bible says it's just as big a miracle to father a child at 100. His body was as good as dead. But he considered not the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb, but reckoned that God was able to do everything that he promised and staggered. Not the promises of God. Can you say Amen. And so that's a blessing of Abraham. Everything that God promised Abraham belongs to you. What about his kids? Galatians 4:28 Galatians 4:28 now we brethren as Isaac was, are the children of promise. NLT Galatians 4:28 new living translation and you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac. So you don't even have to stop at Abraham. Then you got Isaac. And the Bible says when you see him, then what you see working in his life is what's working in your life. What about Jacob? Jacob's name was changed from Jacob to what Israel. And the Bible talks about how you've been graphed in and if you're in Christ, you are spiritual Israel. So when you read these stories, that's the difference between a dead church and a live church. There's churches all over this country where they're going to get up and crack this Bible open and read this like you're reviewing history, like you're studying Thomas Jefferson at Monticello or whatever Abraham lived in, whatever year he lived in a dry climate. When you read it this way, I'm reading how God operated in Abraham's life. How did Abraham operate? What did God do for him? And the Bible is telling me the same God. That's why you call him the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You're calling into remembrance that what God did for Abraham, what God did for Isaac and what God did for Jacob, he'll do for all that are in Christ Jesus that exercise their faith that way. John 8:39 this is important. Our father is Abraham. The Pharisees declared, no. Jesus replied, for if you are really the children of Abraham, you, you would follow his example. King James if you were the seed of Abraham, you will do the works that Abraham did. That's Joshua 24, 2 John 8, 39 KJV they answered and said unto them, abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, if ye were Abraham's children, you would do the works that Abraham did. Now you're going to start to understand why there's a demonic assault on works. Because it's not all on God's end. A covenant is a well defined agreement between two parties. So if I were the devil, and I'm not the devil, but if I was, I would try to get people to think everything's on God's end. God will provide. God will bless you. That's why, you know, I told you that Charismatics and Pentecostals are in the bottom 20% in America, number one in ethnicity or religious background are Hindus. They make the most money in this country on average, a couple thousand more a year. Second is Jews by a couple thousand. Then you go South Korean and down the line and then way at the bottom, below atheist, below agnostic, below Presbyterian, below people that don't even believe in prosperity. I mean, John MacArthur was as anti prosperity as you get. He took a salary of a million dollars a year. So he was making more money than the people he was preaching against. And way at the bottom are us people. And I'm saying us to be kind because we don't do the work part. We know the God part. God will bless you. It's a month of breakthrough. There's going to be a blood moon lining up with Purim. Okay, what's going to happen? You know, the blood moon lined up with whatever feast. Everybody was big on it. What happened? It was one of the slowest news days in the last 10 years. So you're always waiting on God and looking for signs. But the Bible says Jesus told the Pharisees, where are Abraham's seed? No, Jesus actually said God could change these rocks into children of Abraham if he wanted to. If you're the seed of Abraham, you'll do the works that Abraham did. Hindu percentage, that makes 100,000 or more in a household. Jewish, Hindu, Episcopal, Presbyterian, atheist, agnostic, Orthodox, United Church of Christ, Evangelical Lutherans, United Methodist, Presbyterian Church in America, Unitarian, Lutheran, Mormon, Muslim, average Catholic, Catholic, take a vow of poverty. They're still beating us. Nothing in particular confused people. Church of Christ, Southern Baptist, that's anti prosperity. Seventh Day Adventists, they love Saturdays. Buddhist, Buddhist is vow of poverty. Just wear an orange robe and go practice karate and stuff. Then there's us Assemblies of God, Church of God in Christ. Isn't it interesting? Black Pentecostal and white Pentecostal are basically exactly the same in household income because. So you have to ask if we're that far below average. Something got introduced into the system that's a contaminant because to perform that crappy something got introduced that made us be terrible. Who's at the bottom, who's below us? Church of God in Christ as somebody's God. And then the only two that are lower, National Baptist Convention and Jehovah's Witness. So when you see a Jehovah's Witness come to your house and they're on foot or on a bike. Now you know why they had to save up for that bike. It's a stolen bike. So now think of it when these. I don't take much flack from sinners for flying around in a jet. I take flack from preachers and a lot of times full gospel ones. Because how'd he get that? Yeah, because they can't understand. But I came from that. So I'm not preaching as somebody that. That just had it handed to him. And my dad gave me a ministry, American Express. And I'm telling you from somebody that couldn't get my car registered. When this comes alive in your spirit, you will leave the ranks of poverty. You'll leave the ranks of just enough, and you'll enter the class that leave an inheritance to your children's children. If you believe it, can you say Amen? Okay, so you have to do the works that Abraham did. Let's get into Abraham a little bit. Genesis 12:1 3. You can do all these in the NLT. Genesis 12:1 3. Good job finding that graph up there. The Lord said to Abram, leave your native country, your relatives and your father's family, and go to the land that I'll show you. Keep going. I'll make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous. That's part of the Abrahamic blessing. I got famous when we had an Easter service during COVID So you end up getting famous, not necessarily the way you want to, but you end up doing it. And you'll be a blessing to others. Everybody say, I'll be a blessing. I'll bless those that bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you. 4. So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. Everybody say, it's never too late. And their 75 was our 75. So he's 75. 131 and 2. He listens to God in 12. One chapter later. So Abraham, I'm going to call him Abraham because he's Abram. Then he got his name changed, but he's Abraham now. Abraham left Egypt and traveled north into the Negev along with his wife and Lot and all that they owned. 2. Abraham was very rich. Everybody say, very rich. And then God knew there'd be backslidden preachers that say, how many know it means spiritual riches? So he wrote, he. What was he rich in? And livestock was a big deal back then. You know, when you read about all these guys with camels, they weren't looking to start a petting zoo. Camels were 18 wheelers camera. If you own Camels, you had a logistics company. Abraham was very rich in livestock, silver and gold.

Pastor/Preacher (32:26)

When I was diagnosed, all I wanted to do was get back to work. I wanted to get back to that trajectory that I was on prior to the cancer. I always felt like I had value. I had a place on the team to just be treated with dignity.
