Transcript

Speaker 1: 0:00

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9, 7. Good morning, come, come, you're very welcome. Come in here, come and join us. Yes, of course, each one must give as he has decided in his heart. How many different occasions, occurrences, crossroads, rights and lefts can you identify in your life to where someone's made you give or do something that you didn't want to? And I know the old folk saying of like wisdom and acknowledgement. Right, there's things that happen in this world. You've got it. Sometimes you got to do things that you don't want to, and I think that it's very, very relevant, but reluctantly, not under or under compulsion. I think we're honing in here to trying to find the Holy Spirit and how the existence within us and how it actually moves. So each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. The same score and measure of giving that you give for others will be the same score and measure that you receive. So if you give generously, you'll be receiving generously Back to the heart, decided in his heart.

Speaker 1: 1:10

We often follow the initiative of the Holy Spirit in every mindset and in every belief. Each one must give. You'll notice, we'll be reminded here by the first two words, each one. What does that mean? We as individuals, as individual, humble servants yes, of course, as one heart, soul, mind, thought, word and deed. Yes, with individualism within us must give as he has decided in his heart. Well, excuse me, some of us have decided we're to give in different ways and some of us have decided we're not to give. But, you'll notice, in no way, shape or form in disregard. Are we supposed to acknowledge, compare or have a sense of notoriety, stating that one is more valuable than the other? This person gives in billions. This person gives in dollars? Good example, is one more better than the other or one worse than the other? And I don't think so. Remove the mentality of being a variable that we serve as some form of oppression upon one another in this world.

Speaker 1: 2:09

And I like that too because, reluctantly or under compulsion, I used to tell individuals don't, don't do it If it's impulsive. We used to do like shopping trends, we'd talk about it. If you're going shopping, you're trying to save money. Avoid impulsive shopping. I see it, I want it, I'm purchasing it, I'm buying it. I'm leaving now, avoid that.

Speaker 1: 2:27

But I've learned, as I've matured and as the Spirit's worked within me, that I can continue to follow the Holy Spirit, even when it's a derogatory that I might not think might be a little bit different. Some way, shape or form, it's God talking to me and I'm capable of finding that love, that patience, the grace, the fulfillment yes, of course, being revived, indeed, in every way, shape and form, in the end of the lesson. So my lessons don't come from external works, but they do. It don't come from the external repercussion of individuals judging, condemning, witnessing. It's more along the lines of I'm guiding myself, but within me and thought, word and deed, heart, soul and mind, my charity notion, because I'm giving to him, is I learn this discipline, this degree, this skill, this trait, and I'm putting it back within his hands.

Speaker 1: 3:15

See, so the topic might be charity, but each one must give as he has decided, what's right within his heart. Some of us might have hearts that are way more capable. Our competency, or the capacity that it can actually possess, goes way beyond. God loves a cheerful giver. He's so beloved the world that he gave his only son. That's a tough one. I don't think that we could ever compare to it, but very, very relevant. So let us not grow weary when we focus on a self-initiative. And I'm not telling you not to worry about others. I tell this daily to everybody. I prefer privacy. It's not that I'm selfish or anything. I believe in charity in multiple ways, not just economically whole person charity. Think about it, any topic of assertion that you might encounter, whole person, involve yourself in it, indulge in it, enlighten physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, economically, yes, intimately substance-wise, every aspect that you've got, so you can come out with what you've given and you can give it and put it back within their hands. Very, very relevant. I find it to be be very compelling. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. Galatians 6.9.

Speaker 1: 4:26

And often I think that's the trying times of the world that we live in we're not getting anywhere. You know, god, help me. I'm making every decision that I should be making. I promise you, I'm doing everything that I'm supposed to be doing and I'm not getting anywhere. Does anybody got a bright idea? A light bulb just went on real quick to be doing and I'm not getting it anywhere. Does anybody got a bright idea? A light bulb just went on real quick. Does anybody have a thought, innovation, as to where that comes from? That mentality of I'm doing everything that I'm supposed to be doing, I'm not getting anywhere, I'm not seeing results, I'm not advancing.

Speaker 1: 4:55

Where does that mentality come from? It comes from the way that you're yearned, the way that you're nurtured and the way that you're raised. Think about what I'm saying. If you're raised in a world to where the only time you're rewarded, you get joy, you get happiness, you're receiving what you want, is when you're doing something that somebody else wants you to, then life becomes tarnished, it becomes toiled. You're actually walking around in shackles and chains and you can't make the right decision.

Speaker 1: 5:22

You'll see little baby children, little baby children that have no clue who God and Christ are. What do you want me to do? And they'll tell you that too. What do you want me to do? Because, in their mind, the only aspect of God that they've comprehended at this point is God takes form in creature and that's creature telling them how to live, what's right for them. You're going to learn your lesson. Go clean your room, tie your shoes, take the trash out, etc. Having chores, so that mentality of oppression is something that we need to avoid in society. We should be investing in one another and trying to find sustainment and discovery and creativity.

Speaker 1: 5:57

If we're only focused on restrictions and limitations, you'll never actually find out who you are and you possibly might not be capable of finding God within that enactment. But yes, of course, if you're capable of failing, of discovering, of advancing in this world, then you can see how God lies within you and how Christ is saving you and forgiving you and heart, soul, mind, thought, word and deed. My direct advancement every day as I proceed, as I wake up, as my testament come come into my heart, soul and mind, as I'm advancing, as I'm down on my knees, as I'm praying for forgiveness, as I'm asking for him to enlighten my life with joy and happiness, is no more than the acceptance of my devotion to a continuing my own salvation. And why do I call it salvation? Because salvation is an eternal conquest. It's something that lasts now and forever. I cannot in any way, shape or form state that I'm forgiven just for a few minutes to go by and have somebody walk in the door and they're condemning me. If it's right for God, then it needs to be right for me, and if it's right for me it needs to be right for him. But most of us, we don't have that apprehension. We're not capable of the logic behind it or of the flesh actually moving within the subject. So be careful, for in due season we will reap. Don't get carried away. And, yes, the youth of the nation don't be afraid to let individuals learn. Let them find their own when they experience joy and happiness. The correlation should be God and Christ, the Holy Spirit. Wouldn't you just love for your child to walk up to you.

Speaker 1: 7:27

Coming home from preschool, one of my friends at School of Suffering. They had a house fire in winter, it was cold, they burnt wood and their house burnt down. Do you think God and Christ would want us to touch them? Children installed with the right logic, the right type of discipline and degree, seeking God and Christ for eternity, continue to advance in every shape and form. But if it's no more than their life is made up of what somebody else wants from them or needs from them, then they never get anywhere. It's impossible to accept God and Christ at this point, because I've been told that it doesn't get you anywhere. Even when I've tried. God and Christ, you're still not happy with me. I still need to clean my room, I still need to do what I'm supposed to be doing.

Speaker 1: 8:08

Think about what I'm saying. So, the derogative of the authoritative edge as we try to nature and we yearn in a charitable notion and why do I relate this back to charity? Because I'm giving to one of God's creations, even if it's my own bloodline. It was a gift from my Savior, my Creator, that they've given me pro-life. I need to learn to be capable of filling their hands, of being fruitful, of being capable of guiding them within the sense that makes sense. No, I'm condemned 24-7,. And it's about what creature wants? Oh, my mom's God. How do you know? Because she's the one that tells me when I get to be happy. She's the one that tells me when I got to sit in the corner or put your nose on the floor.

Speaker 1: 8:51

Think about what I'm saying. So the way we nurture, the way we proclaim it, the way we actually walk within the flesh, helps us embrace how we want to be treated. And let us not grow weary of doing good, my Lord, I promise you. Some of you individuals have, and I'm not judging. Think about this, be analytical just for a second, so that you can have the chains of sin, wickedness and death removed off of you, so that the truth can set you free. Some of us have a commitment to oppression.

Speaker 1: 9:18

Waking up in the morning, I'm looking to condemn this child. You know what I mean. I'm looking to condemn this child. I'm looking to make things tough on this child. No, they're going to learn, because I learned when I was young. Hey, get up out of here. Where are you going with all that? About to kick you square in the rear?

Speaker 1: 9:32

Think about what I'm saying. Don't wake up in the sense of hate. This is all I've got to offer you, my poor child. This is all I've got to offer you, my poor child. I'm poor. You will be poor with me, don't you understand? I was never capable of achieving God or Christ or being one. I was never capable of unity, of having the Father, son and the Holy Spirit being present within my life. No, yes, of course I move within the Spirit and the Spirit moves within me. So make sure that what you're offering that child of God, by the way, it ain't yours. Make sure that what you're offering is what you want to be receiving, because if you continue to be invested and remember, your faith is unshaken, the foundation you're standing on, it's not cracked, it's not broken in any way, shape or form. You're continuing to advance in every mindset and you can bring the fruits of the labor and what you've received as blessings and hand them down off to the next generation.

Speaker 1: 10:25

I believe in spiritual growth and extreme amount of spiritualism, but you'll reference my whole person. The whole person is a facet that most of us only logically attempt to apprehend. But the whole person is an actual flesh movement. And I say that because it's irrelevant unless it takes form within the flesh. How can forgiveness take form In the flesh? How can happiness and joy take form In the flesh? Of course we would say well, verbal recommendation, you can talk about it, you can proclaim it. We can move within this mindset, within that mind stone, the milestone, but we can't. The stone that we're casting better be a stone of repentance, of forgiveness. Yes, of course I'm anchored down to heaven, to eternity. I am saved, I am delivered, and there's a derogatory that moves within me. I don't want to be upheaved, nor do I want to be set back or failed, but I want to continue to advance because what he's given me, I've been capable of giving and doing for others.

Speaker 1: 11:24

So the charitable notion is being submissive to the truth that each and every one of us might need a lending hand, but don't deprive anybody, including that righteous child, god, so help me of their opportunity to be capable of learning their own and continuing to fail, the only thing that I can think of. When it comes to nurturing, and to nurturing, if you don't mind, you're not allowed to make any decisions on anybody that would come at a cost and expense to them In a whole person mindset, in any way, shape or form, any disregard. You are allowed to make those decisions on yourself. For such things there is no law against. Imagine that. Do you know why? Because it's very important that you experience the darkness and you're capable of walking through it, you're capable of embracing it and you can advance within that milestone. I think, god help me.

Speaker 1: 12:12

I think that each and every one of us should be capable of being devoted within our failures, we should be capable of suppressing our successes and being capable enough to give them in a sense of charity. What good would a life be if you're not actually capable of living it out within the flesh. What good would charity be if we only referenced it and talked about it and the flesh didn't take form within it? The same goes for happiness, joy, forgiveness and life's in love. And God is love within that maternal usage. I say maternal usage because I'm using God not in a bad way, like you're a loser, you're using somebody to get what you want. No, no, no, no, no. I'm embracing the unity that I have within him. He walks within me and I walk within him. So don't, don't grow weary for doing good and do season, for we will reap if we do not give up. So can continue to stay steadfast, devoted within your passions, your trials and your tribulations, and don't forget, for reaping and sowing, the investment it's, it's longevity. You don't have anything to worry about.

Speaker 1: 13:13

Very troubling that some of us fall catalyst to some of the different inequities and it spirals out of our own lives and I tried to balloon it up out of proportion there. I took it from zero to hero. So we were standing here on the sidelines and we weren't quite sure where we were going. And then we advanced. We're out on the court, we're full-time, we're starters, we're looking at the minutes, we're running, and then I'm referencing.

Speaker 1: 13:32

I never received God in Christ as an adult. Now you, my poor child, will never receive God in Christ. Let's just make sure that we're doing a better job in the investment of the youth of the nation, that what we're providing to them is of God and of Christ. And, forgive me, I think a little bit different. Forgive me If you didn't have that and you wanted it, and it provided sustainment, it provided fulfillment, it took you above and beyond in a sense of notoriety. Wouldn't you want them to have it and, by the way, say you did have it? Wouldn't you want other individuals to be capable of experiencing that same blessing? I think so, but, lord, forgive me, everybody's a little bit different, and they're allowed to have privacy, allowed to have their own life, and they're allowed to make mistakes. Brilliant, by the way. There is no God on earth. Excellent.

Speaker 1: 14:16

I'm here to help, to forgive, to help, and I can't forgive, but to save, if there's anything that I can help you with. I'm never here to condemn or to make things worse on anybody, that part of society I'm not even sure where they belong or where they're going. Lost, if you would, I'm looking to be found when. Now and, of course, forever. Now, the full number of those who believed were of one heart and one soul. But it goes back to God, not to creature. It goes back to God, it goes, not to creature. And no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own. But they had everything in common. Now, the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and we reference our creator, the one who gave us life, the one who put breath within our lungs. So we are united within that.

Speaker 1: 15:00

It doesn't mean that you don't have privacy. It doesn't mean that you've got to share your intimate professional, your economical substance, any of those aspects of life. It means that, because of God, we are one race of human beings. We're all humble servants. These are my fellow brothers and sisters. Yes, good morning, I have love for you. I personally prefer privacy, remember. I'm not opening the door to inequity, I just can't do it. I like intimacy, I like commitment. So that's why I prefer privacy.

Speaker 1: 15:24

And no one said that any of the things that belong to him was his own. Well, what belongs to my creator? Well, the earth. He gave us an abundance of everything, but nobody said it was his own. He did that for us. So now we can reference that. He's got wants and needs for us.

Speaker 1: 15:41

Maybe there is some sort of a nurturing or nurturing aspect within that mentality. He wants for us, he created this for us, but they had everything in common the want and need of succession, of eternity, of life, compassion, yes, peace on earth. Maybe it's goodwill and good works. Every work and deed that comes from him, which should be every work and deed that we possess is intended for our good. So even when we're facing an equity and it's spoiled, it's darkened, it's flipped upside down and we're wondering where's the derogatory and where are we going to advance, we can be reminded that his works are within good deeds and good labors. I reference the flesh often because we can take possessive form within the flesh and it can advance within us.

Speaker 1: 16:26

Very, very relevant. Acts 4.32. And above all, these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3.14,. Above all, these put on love. And what was the reference this morning? God is love, it's blameless, there's no fault. You don't have to point the fingers. Good morning, how are you? Would you like to say a prayer before you get out of bed? We can say a prayer together, we can say a prayer together, consecutively, 24-7,. Be offering God and Christ to your significant others, not in a, not in a like I'm bothering you way to where I'm like needy and I'm pessimistic and I'm just like ugh, I'm just like you're getting the best of me, you're like real clingy. But offer love to that significant other, to the ones that you have in your life 24-7. And I promise you, I guarantee you, you're going to receive love back. You'll never go wrong in this world by offering that person in love.

Speaker 1: 17:19

The only valuable variable, they would say, would be pride. Well, you love yourself too, and you're walking away from me. I want your love, I see it, I want it. Please love me the way you love yourself. Have you ever felt that you ever heard that? Please love me the way you love yourself? Have you ever felt that you ever heard that Please love me the way you love yourself?

Speaker 1: 17:38

No, I'm not happy. I see you, you're happy, you're accomplished, you're doing what you want. I get it, I see it, and you don't want to be weighed down by my impression, but can you please love me the way that you love yourself? Guess what the answer is. I could try, but you're not going to be happy. How come, might you ask? Because you need to learn to be capable of loving yourself in that same disregard and degree.

Speaker 1: 17:59

You see, we see love on others and we think that it's ours to take, that it's a secondary person, that it's an external works, that it's on the outside. It's a pill, it's a placebo. I can take it. Take a drink of water and immediately all my problems are solved. But listen to what I said. Can you please love me the way that you love yourself? I could, but you're not going to be happy. You need to be capable of loving yourself in that regard and that disregard or that degree, that regard and that disregard or that degree. So we are capable, competent when we invest in the love that we have for ourselves because of our relationship with our creator, with our savior, with our redeemer, the substance, the trinity. Yes, of course we walk within the spirit. We're no longer under the law. But don't let us see love.

Speaker 1: 18:48

What we think is love? False prophecy, if you would. It's took in flesh form. It's really diluted in somebody else. I want what you have. You see, like kids playing on the playground. They're like I'm going to go steal that ball from that kid. It's no big deal. I can run faster than him. Think about what I'm saying, lord, forgive me for the reference. Think about me. Think about what I'm saying. We want what we want, but every one of our wants and needs can be fulfillment, and can be fulfillment within God and Christ. I don't need to stumble, I don't need to fall, and when I say stumble and fall, I don't need to get caught up on something that God has given you. I said this at the beginning and some of you were paying attention yesterday, and it's very derogative.

Speaker 1: 19:29

Sometimes, in some cases, god will work miracles in your life. He'll put something or somebody in your life that'll show you everything that you ever wanted. It's the taste, the flavor, the tone, the color, the preference. It's got the right amount of zeros. It is eternity above and beyond. It feels right. It looks like I mean, my Lord, help me, what am I going to be doing? And sometimes it's only so you can see. I was once blind, but now I see. It's only so you can see how God's love should be within your own life. You see, the accountability and the sense of notoriety in discipline is no more than the acknowledgement that, yes, I want God to be in my life in that form and, yes, I want him to be the provider for me.

Speaker 1: 20:12

So, if you seek fulfillment, if you seek love, if you seek happiness and sustainment, I'm not telling you you can't share your joy and happiness with others. You're supposed to Think about charity. I have a lot to give. I have myself at an extreme level. I'm saluting on the way out. Yes, of course I can love you. You should be capable of loving me.

Speaker 1: 20:29

But the reference is no more of finding the whole person within yourself. And after you've developed it, you've grown on it, you've given it back to Christ, you've matured, you've graduated, you're sitting at the right hand, you're raising the hand, you're full of joy and prosperity Each and every day. The perseverance has truly enlightened you. Now it's your turn. It's your turn to hand that off, to where you can give yourself to somebody else, so that they can mature within it, so that they can learn. You see, that's one of the tools that we have, that we're equipped with, so that we can continue to allow the flesh to advance within others. This is what I was capable of accomplishing. This is what God gave me. Now I'm going to see if I can mentor you or if I can help you so that your physical, maternal yes, flesh-seeking purpose can find a sense of sustainment and completion.

Speaker 1: 21:15

We don't seek completion often In fact most of us are riddled, we're questioned and we're walking around with a sense of incompleteness. So find the charity within yourself to be capable of advancing and giving and seeking. Never stop seeking. Seek the truth in what you want it to be, not when somebody else has defined you. You're not walking around in a sense of oppression. You can do absolutely anything you want to.

Speaker 1: 21:38

One of the toughest lessons that I've ever learned but the very, very practical lessons and I'm very thankful for it was I don't think you have anything to worry about. I don't want to see you getting upset. I don't want to see you bickering. I don't want to see you swearing, cursing emotions. Think about it Having very good self-control, putting it back within his hands. It's almost like going to the art of like silence or something. I don't take it to that one, but think about what I'm saying.

Speaker 1: 22:03

Very self-disciplined because of him, and when you get to the point to where it no longer is the thorn in the side, it's the nail in the foot or in the hand. It's the jab in the eye, it's tearing it out and you're being bothered, the laceration across the back. Then you'll have a sense of completion. So walk within that maternal purpose of charity, uniting the servant, the soul, the internal works with the external purposes of the flesh as you continue to advance in this world. When you find completion within that topic, that assertion, that discipline, degree of life, that genre, be capable of unconditionally loving and giving it to others. Remember to be blameless, remember there is no fault and consent is very, very valuable. And to walk away within the passion and desires, the steadfastness and the devotion that he's given you.

Speaker 1: 22:47

Very good, let me wrap this up in prayer Our gracious heavenly father and Christ, our savior, redeemer with strength, guidance, knowledge, wisdom, passion, integrity, devotion. Let us often be reminded that the blindness is a venue, a door opening, an opportunity for us to seek the wholeness, the fulfillment, to allow the flesh to manifest and to grow and to nurture in every way, shape and form. Remind us of the gifts that you've given us, the gifts of life that we are to unconditionally love and accept. These gifts that each and every one of us know more than what we have every day is God's love. We don't have to search for it, we don't have to seek for it. Remind us to be offering love, compassion and grace and happiness daily, not living in a condemned world to where we're scorned and the only thing that we have to offer is aggression. Remind us to wash our hearts, souls and minds and to cleanse and to wash the feeds and continue to give me the strength, the guidance, the knowledge, the wisdom, the power, the devotion that I need to advance within my own personal prophecies for individualism is no more than my confession, my surrender of putting it back within your hands and being revived and being born again, with love, with compassion, with grace. In the name of the Father, son, holy Spirit and Christ, our Savior's name, we pray Amen. Thank you for listening, thank you for your continued support, thank you for your donations.

You want to get sit down? You want me to help working on some of these relationships? Yes, of course, just as soon as possible, but first let me get that seed planted. And that seed planted, let me figure out what location I'm going to be in. There was talk yesterday possibly La Crosse, wisconsin, new York and then we went back down to Tennessee and then Mexico came in at the evening. So I'm not quite sure, but I'll be sure to keep you updated.

Speaker 1: 25:06

The love, the patience, the grace that you've received each and every day can be your guiding light. Remind yourself to choose love when you wake up. Some of us. Each and every day, we're trying to find happiness, we're trying to find joy, we're trying to find love. Remind yourself that God exists within, within you, and that's something that is given each and every day. Don't let creature take your joy or steal your sunshine. Have a very, very blessed day. Thank you for listening. Continue to find your success within your deliverance, because the charitable notion could be no more than I'm giving myself to you. I surrender with love, with patience, with kindness. God bless you. Have a very, very good day.
