  – Vanessa Calvillo (17:53)

2. Theme: Live and Multiply (Deuteronomy 8)

• [05:19] Jonathan opens scripture:
  Shuttlesworth turns to Deuteronomy 8, emphasizing the biblical mandate to obey God for longevity and multiplication:

  “Be careful to obey all the commands I'm giving you today. Then you will live and multiply.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth, quoting Deuteronomy 8:1 (05:40)

• Obedience Brings Life and Prosperity:
  The commandments are framed as instructions “for profitable living” (05:53).

3. Spiritual Multiplication: Growth of the Church

• [06:26] Church Expansion:
  Jonathan discusses how Revival Today has multiplied from one to several churches, attributing it to God’s effortless blessing:

  “Everything with God is anointed not just to grow, but to multiply... We've gone from one church to four churches without effort.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (07:25)

• Multiplication beyond Stress:

  “His yoke is easy and his burden is light. God not only has a way to take you to the top, he has a way to do it where you're the least stressed out.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (08:41)

4. Interplay between Prosperity and Integrity

• [19:01] Warnings about Prosperity:
  Jonathan addresses criticisms of the ‘prosperity gospel’ and clarifies it’s not about money replacing God, but about remaining steadfast as God blesses you:

  “That's not what it says... When God blesses you, that's the time to be careful. Because there is a propensity for when people get blessed to start missing church… The Bible has stories of people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jacob, David that as God blessed them, they pressed into God more and not less.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (19:13)

• Material Blessing is not Spiritual Peril:

  “The Bible shows you that as God blesses you, the riches never have to take a place in your heart. Money will only have a place in your hand. God has a place in your heart.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (20:22)

5. Miracles, Faith and Church Testimony

• [24:31] Miracles and Supernatural Provision:

  “Anything that's in the Bible that they can't understand, Divine healing, miracles... I don't know how it happens. It's not my job to know how it happens. It's my job to believe it, speak it and act on it. And God will always do his part.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (24:31)

• [26:40] Object Lesson: Gift of Silver:
  Jonathan receives a sack of silver and uses it as an illustration for financial blessings and sowing:

  “I'm putting it on the altar as a seed for that new church in Pittsburgh right there. I sow it to the work of the Lord because God will do what He said in his word, if you'll be dumb enough to believe it and not speak, 'How's anyone going to multiply?'”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (26:46)

6. God’s Promises and Responding in Faith

• Faith Not Circumstance:
  Jonathan insists that believers’ lives should be dictated not by circumstances like the economy, but by the Word:

  “Our life is not dictated by what's going on around us. Our life is dictated by what's in the word of God and nothing.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (22:38)

• Remembering the Source:

  “Always remember it's the Lord your God, for it is he that giveth thee power to create wealth, that his covenant would be established on the earth.”
  – Jonathan Shuttlesworth (23:32)

• On Weekly Worship:

  “The first hours of the new week spent in church consecrates the rest of the hours of the week to God. And he'll bless you more in the remaining hours than every heathen person that found an excuse not to be in church today.”
