Delivered Pt3

So let's get into it. We're going to start in the book of Luke, chapter 12. I think I'm going to take the same strategy I had in the first service where I am going to read my scriptures and talk through them and then kind of get into some of my notes here. So let's get our note pads out. And I feel like God is going to change some lives right now. All right, let me do this in a methodical way, OK? This is a proven principle. The kingdom of heaven functions on laws, OK? But it functions on God's laws. All right, so it's not like it functions on laws that we make up, but it functions on discovering and operating heavens laws, OK? All right, so we're going to start in verse chapter 12, verse 14. I'm going to read quite a few. So let's learn what God has to say to us, Amen. But Jesus said to him, man who made me a judge or arbiter over you and he said to them, take heed. And beware of covetousness. For one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. I think maybe I should say it this way in the abundance of material things. His life is not secured by that, OK? His life is not secured by the material things that he possesses. This is a very important thing because that's kind of the way we live, unfortunately. Then he spoke a parable to them. Now watch this kingdom training right here. The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself saying, what shall I do since I have no room to store my crops? So he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns and build greater. And there I will store all of my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease now. Eat, drink, and be merry. But God said to him, fool, this night your soul will be required of you. Then whose will those things be whom you have provided? So is he who lays up treasure for himself and not rich toward God or rich in the same manner that God is rich? All right, so what does it mean? Let me break down some of these words. Are you all ready for the teaching? All right, so being not being rich toward God is, in a sense, not being rich like man. In other words, it's not just being rich toward, that word being rich toward God is a little misleading. It's hard to understand what that really even means. But let me tell you what it means in essence, okay? It's being rich in the same manner that God is rich. In other words, God's rich in a different way. The way God calculates riches is not materially. This is why he's kind of talking about not coveting. This is why he's talking about, you know, not worrying about your life being held together by the abundance of the material things you can possess, okay? This is not how God is rich. God is rich in a spiritual way. In other words, God is not worried about how much physical things that is on the earth in order to make him feel rich, okay? So, but this is how we measure riches on the earth, isn't it? Yeah, and so the rich man, he had a successful business going in the ground yielded plentiful. Do you see this concept here? This is a sewing and reaping concept, is it not? The ground yielded plentifully. He had a good harvest. Amen, he had a good harvest. He knew how to make that field work. But he learned something in a natural way because he is thinking from a human perspective. He is thinking from the physical realm and the physical perspective, isn't he? He is because this is what you know as cause and effect. I do this, I wait a little bit of time, this is what I get. And if you're good at that, you can have a plentiful harvest, right? Even in the natural, you don't need God for that. There's a whole lot of people who learn how to do business and they really don't talk to God about it. You know, sometimes if they feel a little bit, you know, sometimes you do so good, you might say, thank you God. You know what I mean? Like, but that don't really mean anything, you know? And you can't just expect everybody who is rich in the world since to be a godly example to you. Right? But that's who gets the influence. Success is influential. So this man has this successful thing going to ground yielded plentifully his concept though, was here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna, I don't even have enough room for all of this stuff. So what I'm gonna do is tear down these storehouses. I'm gonna build up new storehouses so that I can be self-sufficient. Don't you the catch this concept? I wanna be self-sufficient. Now, he produced so much became self-sustaining, he wanted to supply, he could go to, a supply that he could see. Because I'm naturally minded in his case, right? If I see it, I can trust that it's there. I know that it's there, right? I can see that storehouse being built. I can see it there, I know it's there. I trust in what I see. Now, I know this is a difficult challenge, but living in the kingdom is not trusting in what we see. All right? This is how the kingdom functions now. So completely different paradigm. You gotta shift your mindset to understand this. So he is going self-sustaining mode. This means that he is not a person trusting God, is he? No, he might even say he's trusting God. He might even think God. But this is God's like this is not gonna be able to complete the assignment I've given you. So anything that we build that causes us to replace God, anything that we build that causes that to become a source instead of God, anything that breeds independent thinking is anti-God, right? So you see where Jesus is having a problem with this. Because the thing that he's getting ready to teach is completely different from this idea here. All right? So I wanna talk to you guys today about how to harvest heaven. The power of harvesting heaven delivers you from the things that are putting you in bindings on the earth, okay? All right, so this guy is now storing things up because he wants to relax. He wants to stop toiling and sweating. He wants to make sure his, you know, he's got to, this is the retirement plan right here. In it, you know, 'cause, I mean, imagine, like you get enough stuff, you can retire. Stop working. You get what I'm saying. The only problem is, is that's not the plan of God. There's no retirement in a kingdom. The kingdom of God, there's no retirement. Some people didn't even start until they were 90 something. Imagine that. You find your assignment at 90. Somebody all like, please no, please no, please no, please no. Okay, I'm just telling you, it's a completely different world. It is a completely different world. So he is not thinking like that. He is thinking, and by the way, this is how we're doing it now. You know, oftentimes, you get caught up listening to people talk about their retirement. And I want to tell you, man, if you've got a good retirement plan, God bless you. But you know a lot of people don't. And they're wondering what are they gonna do? And here's the other thing. Even if you had a retirement plan, can that retirement plan answer the call of destiny? I mean, it might leave you sitting pretty. I hope it does. I hope you got a boat. You know what I'm saying, nothing wrong with, listen, but the thing that gets me is that we're not even really even thinking. Jesus said to this, in this parable, he said this, look, he said, he called him a fool, you know what I mean? And he said, fool this night, your soul's gonna be required of you, he said, listen, this is a key thing. I taught this in our economics, working in economics, workshop I did, maybe last year or two years ago or something. And he said, who's things, well, those things be what you have provided. In other words, you don't have this abundance to sustain you. That's not why I give abundance. In other words, your abundance is not for you to cut me off and stop doing my work. So when people get enough, it's really funny. Abundance has a way of causing people to go independent. Can I just teach? Do you know where America, you know how America was born? Rebellion and independence was born out of abundance. When the colonies, it's a little history class for y'all, when we were planted as colonies, right? The colonies were so weak, they were kind of getting, and they were completely dependent on the king that sent them, right? Completely dependent on it, right? Completely dependent on other sources of income, completely dependent. But over time, the ground yielded plentifully. This is where the independent mindset started to creep in. It's interesting. The idea was for permanent relationship and the expansion of the glory of Britain. But when you get so strong, you can stand on your own, you start thinking. I kind of don't like their rules. Oh, it happens in everything we do. If you hit the ladder, are you going to work tomorrow? Why not? I don't like it. I don't have to. two. Some of y'all would want to do it, y'all. Not many would say, no, I love my job. I'd still go, okay, most people will not. Because of this, they're going independent. I depend on this job. I really don't, I mean, I kind of like it. I try to have a good attitude. Try to go in and be the light and the salt and all that good stuff, right? But I really don't want to be here. I don't, if it rains, I don't want to go. If I feel anything coming on me, I don't want to go. I find a reason not to go. But then I will remember my checks going to be short. Kind of got my life set up to go on this, you know, you get what I'm saying? This is how independence creeps in. Did you know that there was an age anytime technology has a boom and we become people who can now get information for ourselves. It creates independence. Some people are starting to leave church because they can independently watch services online. It's not designed that way. God marks church attendance. If you don't think he does, you need to read the scripture. When the people that he prepared the feast for made excuses to come, he didn't go, well, they can catch it online. They'll catch it in the newspaper. He said, they're not here. The Bible say he was furious. And he said, here, go out to the highways in the hedges and gather people that my house can be full. I want you in attendance. God's checking church attendance. Yeah, if you've missed church, you better have permission. Oh, Pastor Mike, we're telling us the truth. I'm telling you the truth. Just just falling out. God ain't with that. Amen. Tell me, I'm not even explaining that too much. Y'all can just figure that out on your own. I'm just saying you think about independence, right? Let's think about the spirit of independence for a second. It happens when you feel like you're good. I can get information in another way, an alternative source. I don't have to go through that route. I can find another way. Technology is booming. How do you think even in what they call the era of enlightenment? The era of enlightenment is what calls the French revolution. The French revolution is what inspired the American revolution. Did you know that Abraham, not Abraham, but Benjamin Franklin was an ambassador to the French and he he and another constantly met with them and got the idea of American independence from them. And they got their idea when science, science began to boom and they had new technologies and discoveries and things that they used to give God credit for. They could explain. This is what happened. You should study it. So as they began to say, we know how that got there. Then they can start separating from God as creator. They can start separating why? Because independence is breathed with abundance of anything. Abundant technology, you'll stop depending on how to do it yourself. Abundant information, you'll stop trying to listen to credible sources. Abundance of options of church, you'll stop going to the gathering. It's just the spirit of independence and new forms. So you see this idea of this guy, he said, listen, what you don't understand is the stuff that you are holding talking to this guy. He said, it doesn't belong to you anyway. He said, who does it belong to? You don't even have it purposed to go where it needs to go. Because listen to this, this is a principle that I teach now. I want you to understand this. It's not that God doesn't want you to have any sort of bank account or whatever, okay? But just follow me for a second, make sure this is in your notes. This is a kingdom principle. God is against any man saving anything for himself. Let me tell you how this works, okay? God says, if any man tries to save his own life, he'll lose it. You can't save anything because you don't own anything. Lordship, the term Lordship in the Bible is the word for owner, all right? And it's curious in the Greek. And in the Greek, this word doesn't just mean owner, it also means sustainer or manager. So when you are thinking of in a kingdom, you don't own it. So you can't steal from the Lord, build a kingdom of yourself, sustain yourself and say, well, forget what I was supposed to do with this because it's not yours. It is entrusted to you. Trust law, you can do a study on trust law if you want. Trust law was created when God created man on the earth because he said Adam, I give you dominion over, not ownership over. In other words, I entrust you and this comes with stipulation. Trust law always includes the instructions of what to do with what I gave you. If I give you a company vehicle, it's going to come with things you can do, things you cannot do. If I get, if I own it and I entrust you with it, it comes with here's what you can do with it. Here's what you cannot do with it. Here's what my, my, my, for you to hold that you can enjoy it this way, but you can't enjoy it that way. You see? So anytime we want to get away from that, it's because we start getting into what we think is our personal wealth. This guy starts thinking I'm good. And Jesus says you are a fool. Why would you live off what you think isn't an abundance when you could be rich like God is rich. Where abundance is not something you can even fit in a storehouse. Y'all man, I'm a teacher so I like to play with your head a little. See, he thinks he's rich till you meet a real rich person. Right? God's like, yeah, rich like who? Not rich like me. I can listen. I got so much I can't even put it in a storehouse. Man. In other words, you can't, you can't contain it or define it. It's just outside. So this you're talking kingdom things now. You're talking infinite possibility. All things possible. Infinite. So if you don't, if you don't define your provision in a certain way, you won't be living in it in that way. So this guy was foolish to hold something that belongs to others. You see that? Now watch Jesus. Y'all still with me. Jesus is going to now talk about how the harvest heaven and why it is important to harvest heaven. All right? So next verse go to 21. So let's go to 22. Then he said to his disciples, here we go. Here is a parable for you. Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life. See, that guy's worried about his life, right? He's worried. He's stockpiling. I want to, I don't want to just be good. I want to be good good. I want to sit, I want to sit back and go, I got a lot of stuff. Like that would be nice, right? Yeah, I got a lot of stuff. You know, I got so many, I got so many stories that can attach to this, but let me just get you in this mindset. Don't, don't worry, Jesus said, this is not logical, okay? This is kingdom. It's not logical. It won't make sense to your logical mind. That's why you don't listen to like Cam Newton or somebody, okay? God bless him, but he don't know what he's talking about. I don't care if daddy was a pastor. He should have been went to another school or something. I don't care ignorance. I'm talking about stuff. I'm like, bro, stop spreading this. Well, you know what I don't understand? I'm like, I don't understand. You need to go to church and understand what you don't understand. It don't give you permission to miss the information, okay? Okay, you don't understand, then you should go to a better church. Church is still where the answer is. The world of have you over there with them. Yeah, you know what? I mean, a lot of sins. Soon as you are agreeing with them, you missed it. Anyone of them, podcasts are not churches. Once again, I say, podcasts are not churches. There's a reason God gives his church the manifold wisdom of God, right? So why you got questions, go to a regular church. Like if you really want the answer, don't put me on TV and let's talk about it. If you're really concerned, because I'm not going to be politically correct, I'm going to say respectfully, sir, you don't know what you're talking about. You're talking to experts here. Respectfully, sir. Yeah, don't know what you're talking about. If you're fishing for real answers, let's have a conversation with no fans and nothing to profit. I am, I am. Yeah, let's get nothing to profit. No fame for me, none for you. If you really want to know, ain't nobody in here getting famous right now, are you? No, you're just in here learning, right? Because I'm telling you, the spirit of independence is the spirit of the world. He says his disciples, this is not going to make sense to you. Watch this. I say to you, don't worry about your life. That's all we do. Here's what he says. Don't worry about what you're going to eat. Don't worry about the body. Are y'all still with me? I ain't lose y'all go with that, dude, that's your cousin, I'm sorry. Some of y'all be like, I-- know him. He lives in Atlanta. I'm sorry. I ain't trying to die. He's throwing shade. I'm just, he's example, just example. Plug in any name you want. All these people are experts of annoying. Go to church, man. Go to church. You ain't got to have that. All right. What you will eat? Know about the body. Sure, you're not going to understand this. What you're going to put on. That's everything we were about. Life is more than food. Body is more than clothing. He says, now watch this. Consider the Ravens. Consider the Ravens. He says, they need their soul nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn and God feeds them. Can I talk to you for a second? He says, consider the Ravens. The Ravens are completely dependent on God every day. You know why they're completely dependent on God? Because nobody taught the Raven how to build a storehouse. This is a powerful concept right here. See, the education of everything God created is actually in it already. It's already built into you. This is what I used in the first service. I want you to hear this. All right. See, the Raven is designed to function a certain way intrinsically. Okay. It is built into his instinct. God made him a certain way. But see, he has to get up every day. He does not sow. Look at how we do our harvest. We're talking about harvesting. That guy said, I learned how to sow it and reap it. I learned how to do it good in the natural sense. The Raven doesn't do either. He doesn't sow. He doesn't reap. He doesn't even store it up for the next day. Whatever they eat, I'll just think of all birds, Ravens or whatever. If they eat what traditionally, I guess it be worms or whatever. Okay, he doesn't get a worm today and say, you know what? There might not be any worms tomorrow. Let me go and store some of these up in a storehouse. He doesn't even know how to make a storehouse. He has nowhere to put it. He can't save it for the next day. He can't store it up or stock it up and take his ease. His ease is not in the stuff that he has. He don't feel safe if he has a bunch of worms somewhere. Amen. There is no bank for him. Like we have banking. We look at the banking. We see zero. We like, oh my Lord Jesus, help me Jesus. The Raven has learned to live on zero happily. Now, the Raven has not been educated on abundance equals peace. That's what they taught us. You have a lot. You'll be okay. Man, let me tell you, let me help you understand. Your deliverance is not and life is not held together by how much you have in hand. This is not logical. Not to the human mind. That's why everybody wants to hit the lottery. Because if I hit the lottery, I can stop. I can live my dreams. I can get rid of this job. Or if you don't like the job, right? I can answer the calling for my life. If I can hit this, if something can happen for me, if somebody dies and writes my name, they did. Jesus. You can stop. He did. He wrote your name. I'm going to teach you this. God feeds them. They don't know how to do it. Watch this. So when you're raising your children, now listen, no offense, because I've taught educators, you know, if you're new here, I've taught all the educators. We got a lot of educators, different fields. You're in a school system for an assignment, right? So we know how to handle that mindset, right? We know why we're in this place. But you also know, you can't tell me any different. I know. Don't tell me. Don't lie to me. And tell me, you think this is helpful information. You dish and out. You know it ain't. You know it ain't. You got kids in there struggling with stuff that they ain't going to need no more. Don't tell me anything different. It's a lie. When my son, every day, he hates school. I can't stand. I want to go to school. I always be like, might just have a good attitude, bro. I ain't got nothing to say. I can't lie to you. I'm like, you know what, Mike, one day, all this stuff you learn it is going to be needed. No, they force you to go. Force you. You know how I know? God bless my educators. You know what? You in there for a whole different reason. We know. So let me talk, okay? It ain't for what you teaching them. Some of it's helpful. Like math, you know, basic stuff. Maybe some spelling. Reading. Some basic stuff. It's good. But after like fifth grade, we can probably shut this down. You know what I'm saying? Let's start. Now we need to learn something else. Like what's in me? Now, y'all ain't listening to that. Y'all get mad at me because I'm talking about, look, go go. You're there for a light and a purpose. We get that, okay? I'm gonna set that aside for a second. Listen to this. See, that is not how societies are designed in ancient kingdoms. They are not built off of teaching you things that have nothing to do with what you were born to do. It's not like that. So I tell my son all the time, I say, look, man, like go in there, man. Listen, just do your best, okay? Like like make your grades. I'm serious. It's hard to come up with excuses after a while. They start catching on. They start catching on, right? Unless you're going to beat, see if you knew what you were, then you might be able to take school to your advantage and get what you're supposed to get and educate in short. You know, you can get the you can get the correct education, but they just forces all through it. And so when I was younger, I actually got arrested or not arrested, detained. It's a little different. Okay, detained, picked up. Okay? Young man seventh grade or eighth grade maybe. They picked me up. So we missed the bus. Okay, we missed the bus. We missed the bus. You know, when I grew up, the bus didn't always come. Right? Like listen, I was born and raised in a bad neighborhood, right? Sometimes the bus just didn't come. The parents thought we missed the bus. We were there since 5.30 that morning. Some y'all don't know nothing about bus stops. Bus stops is dark when you get there. Anybody know about the bus stop? Like the bus stop was dangerous. 5.30 a.m. and 9 o'clock the bus still ain't came. So we so me and my brother, you know, but when I have no cell phones, you can't call your parents. You was told just make sure you didn't miss the bus. They left. That's how it was. So I told my brother, I said, like, you know, we just we ain't going to school today. So here we go, right? We go home. We take the school clothes off. You got to take the school clothes off. Play clothes, right? Are y'all with me? Because they forced you to go. So we're walking now. We're going to walk to the store. Some of y'all having flashbacks. You get a few dollars. You're going to walk to the store, right? We walked to the store. The police man drove by us and I don't know the instinct I must have just had. We started running. I'm telling you a true story right now. This is a true story. My brother is following me. He's about a year and a half younger than me. We took off running. We cut through the woods, came out the other side of the neighborhood and the police man was sitting there. So we did get caught. You know what he did? He picked us up. threw us in the back of the car. He's driving. He got on the radio. We just picked up to drew an house. What school do y'all go to? We told him he dropped us off in our play clothes. We had to go all day in these raggedy clothes. Because you are forced to learn this. So I told my son, I said, "Man, listen. I want you to have a good attitude. I want you to do your grades. I want you to do well. Do it because there's a bigger purpose at hand. We get all of that." But I can't get over the ideas. They got questions. I said, "Listen, I will take nature and I'll say you see that bird right there." I said, "Who taught that bird how to build that nest?" Because we learn everything we learn, right? We learn from other people. Where did the bird learn how to do that? It's interesting how God is, right? He already knew how to do it. At a certain point in the bird's life, he knew I have to build the bird nest. And not only do I have to do it, I know how to do it. Do you get what I'm saying? I know how to do it. Who taught the bird how to fly? Start thinking about this. So the bird just one day knows how to do it. It's built in. So I said, "Look, man, I don't care. He does good in school, but you know, some people that system is easy for them and some people that system is very difficult for them. For many people that system does not benefit them at all. It's like a prison sentence until you're 18. I'm serious. Let's just be real. For some people, that is the way they made their career and that was a good choice, right? But it is not the way God designed people to be educated. So what if you gave the educators the freedom to help people find out what they are, right? So when you are in these systems, you learn things, you don't necessarily need to learn or you don't necessarily need to know. So I said, look man, just I said, who taught the spider? Look how detailed the spider web it builds it overnight. How did he learn that? Who taught the beaver how to build the dam? He didn't go to dam build in school. Do you know what you got to do to be a contractor in Cobb County? You got to have some classes. They don't want to say I was born with it. Even if you were, I know some people that you just put something in their hand and it seems like they were born for it. And they figure it out on the way. They build a deck, it falls down. Okay, that's right. Again, you know, nobody got killed. Yeah, when they're kids, they're playing in the woods, they building forts, they're saying this holds this and this holds that nobody there. You see what I'm saying? Nobody. See, you teach people things and then you actually quiet the things that they really need sometimes. So teach your kids, say listen, even if you do not do well in that system, that does not define you. I tell you see, I've had some of you bring your children to me at times in their young people and they're in trouble in school and they can't focus and they can't make good grades. And I have no problem telling them. I say, you know what? That ain't for everybody. It's not for everybody. There's something God put in you and that's the direction we need to point you. Here's what Jesus is teaching. Jesus is saying, hey, you did good with that system, but they forced you to learn that one. Everybody's born into the world naturally, mind it physically, mind it. They forced you, even if it wasn't the school system, right? Society forced you to learn. This produces this, produces this, produces this, but that is also why you're worried and stressed because you learned their system. You're looking at things by the way they taught you to learn it. That's why they want to let me educate like that. God give me education to do here because I'll be telling every kid. I mean, I would. I'd be speaking stuff into them like that. Trying to awake it. That should be a class. At least one class. At least one class in middle or high school called awakening class. Yeah, wouldn't that be a great school system? So all right, you can get all this other stuff if we need it, but let's find out what you are. That'd be a good class. But we have that's called church. Bring them here. E kids in the back, they'll start them there. What do you got? What do you got in you? You need to learn that because if everything else fell as no matter what happens, the bird going to build that nest. But you know what? The bird does not know how to build a storage house for a reason. God never wanted him to look at it. God never wanted him to have an abundance in that way. He never wanted him to be materially rich or rich with worm, worm, ballin. Beetle ballin. He's storing it up. You know, I got it. You know, never wanted him to have that. So he doesn't even know how to make it. But then they force us through earthly, you know, society. And we learn how to make these things. And we don't learn how to harvest heaven. You all still with me? So he doesn't have a storehouse. And he says this to him. He says, look, this is how the Raven does his work. You know, he doesn't get up every day and know even where it is. He just is taught by God, you know, because they actually I did a teaching on this, the bird is built with a design to sense it because the worms are under the dirt. So it's not like he can see it. The birds are designed. They can, they got a certain type of hearing and their feet are designed in a certain way that if they land, they can feel it. See, if I teach you to see the harvest that is hidden and feel where to land, you will never get up and think I don't have and you will never worry. You just don't, you've been not taught to feel the spiritual realm. You have not been taught to hear the spiritual realm. The bird can hear the worm moving, but it's not in his sight. So the bird has learned to live on zero. Nothing in hand every day. See, this, this is what you need to know. Every day, when you get up, no matter what is due, if you don't understand how to harvest heaven, you shouldn't worry because in a day, it can change. I can promise you this. The harvest is already ready for you. You just really have never been taught how to get it. How do I gather it? If the bird all he's doing is gathering, what was already given? And the gathering tools, this is powerful, were built into him. Everything you are meant to gather is already something inside of you. You have to learn the skill of the thing you already have. Can I keep going? How much more valuable? This is what God said. He says, "You know, I love the birds, but I don't love them like I love you." He said, "If I do that for them, if the bird can get up singing with nothing in the bank, not just nothing in the bank, no bank." Lord, give us faith like this. Not just nothing in the bank before there was a bank. I mean, give me the faith. Help me see the kingdom in the way, Lord, that no matter what's in hand, whether it's a lot or a little, I still know that the earth is yours and everything in it. That I still know that this is not the way you designed us to live. So whatever you have in the account, when you're thinking kingdom, you know, this doesn't belong to me. Who's stuff am I holding today? What assignment am I supposed to be creating with the stuff? He gave me. So if I've been given an abundance, who's is it? Because at first, I know it belongs to the Lord, what they want me to do with it. He don't want me to use it to save and preserve me. But here's the funny thing. The more you use it for him, the more rich you become. Amen. Is this okay? So he says, "Now, I love the birds and everything, okay? But I don't love them more than I love you." And I know, listen, for me, I love birds in the way of, you know, like, honestly, one of the things I've always had like an inclination for was the birds in the morning when they're singing, you know, the pretty birds, the ones that sing really pretty. I love that for some reason. It makes me smile. I love to hear the birds when they start to do that singing. You know, that I've had sometimes they would land on the chimney, right? And be singing down into the chimney. And it's coming into the house. How many of them I'm talking about? Right? Singing down into that silo of that chimney and just, and it just makes you smile. The bird has nothing to rely on, but can sing you into a good mood. You have everything to rely on sometimes and are in a depression. So what is it that the bird knows with nothing in hand that it can sing something and cheer you up, break depression off of you? Wouldn't it be a different song we would sing if we did not have the mindset that they taught us to have about limits and lacks? If the bird with zero can sing us into a good mood, why can't we praise God and change the atmosphere that we are in? Am I helping anybody this morning? Because we don't know how to harvest heaven. See, that's the stress. The stress is, yeah, even if it's mine, how do I, how do I touch it? How do I get it? Amen. The only thing that we, you know, with birds today, I'm telling you the truth, I had, I had this thought about birds back when we were starting this church and God gave me this concept. He said, you need to go study the birds because I certainly didn't have nothing in the bank. But, but I didn't know he was going to use the birds to teach me like this. So I went out and I learned it and you know, right now the way people are, people don't really understand, you know, if everything that is built inside of us, we've been trained not to use. And this is what makes us, us worryful, okay? So I want you to take this concept and learn it from the bird. It doesn't matter. Some of y'all may be sitting in the place right now. You're like, I have no idea what how I'm going to do X, Y, or Z tomorrow. And you need to be like today, Lord, I need you to show me how to harvest this thing that I have. You do have it. You just got to learn how to get it, amen? The only thing, listen, birds are lent, they're teachers in a sense, right? They're doing their thing and God said, look at them, look at them. They're going to show you how to do it. Because birds are not made for us, or they're made for us rather. They're not, we're not made for them. Like people love birds, I get it. You know, my mom had a little bird as a pet. You teach it to talk that's cute. But now if you let it go, it's going to die. Because if you teach it something, they see it can survive in a cage, but it can't survive in a big world. It can survive in your house, on your shoulder, on a leash, let it off. And it's going to be the stray cats lunch. It's going to be a mountain lion lunch. Why? Because it was trained outside of its true skill. So once you do that to a person, you can't let them back out till you retrain them. How do I survive in a big world of abundance? How do I harvest something greater? You see what I mean? The birds are made for your enjoyment. You fry one every once in a while. Dominion. Things given, you fry the bird, right? You're gonna see what's your family and you're gonna see that bird frying and you're gonna say dominion. (laughs) Hey man, you made for me, I'm not made for you. So I don't mind if you fry the bird and I don't mind if you're training the bird to play in your house or whatever, but I want you to remember this, okay? You love 'em pretty bird. It talks to you, all that stuff. It's gonna dive you let it outside. If we send you off into a bigger realm, you wouldn't be able to survive either. Because the skills of that, listen to this. This is what he's telling the man. The skills of the natural do not translate to the kingdom. Because it's a different world out there. You know, your kids growing up, raising kids has been a difficult thing for me. Because you know, you raise 'em, but you know that later on they're gonna find out with experience, what you've been saying is true. It's a tough thing, right? 'Cause you let 'em out, you've had 'em in this world, trying to prepare them, but they don't understand how many times you protected. They don't know how many things they didn't get hit by or hear about. How many times they had an amazing day at your sacrifice? You cried the day before, they had a blast. You cried at night, you struggled, you had no sleep, you fell asleep at your desk, right? And they went through school like this. They don't understand, but when you get outside of that world, what you gotta train them for is the world they're going to. Amen, praise the Lord. So let's keep going here. Are y'all getting this so far? This is good principles right here. This is gonna cause you to go transcendently above. And which of you by worrying about worrying can add one qubit to your stature? You then are not able to do the least? Why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies even, how they grow. They need their toilet spin. What do they not do? They do not toilet spin. We're still talking about how to harvest something. It does not translate. The lily is born in the field, and it is clothed beautifully, and it grows on its own. It doesn't work to grow. It doesn't work for food. It doesn't run around. It doesn't uproot and go to a better place. Wherever it's planted, that's where it stays. Amen, if you're talking natural, no people pick them and take them home to die, but still. Or, you know, decorate, sorry, to take them home to decorate, to die decorating your house. It's fine, dominion, put them in there. Plug them up, put them out there, that's okay. Amen, listen. But you gotta think about this. I've never seen the lily is so pretty and so beautiful, but doesn't work for the food, doesn't work for the nutrient. And he says, even Solomon in all of his glory was not a raid like one of these. Not like the thing that's planted in the kingdom, in the field. Then God so closed the grass, which today is in the field, and tomorrow thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothed you? Do you have even just a little faith? And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. You see how all of this is connected to the first story of the guy. He's got an abundance, but he's still worried. It's because nobody has taught him about harvesting heaven. He only knows one other system. And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink. Do not have an anxious mind. All of these things, the nations of the world seek after, but your father knows that you need, go to the next verse, guys, verse 30, that your father knows that you need these things. Where did they learn what they learned? It says it right there. The nations that go back to 30, the nations of the world do it that way. So you didn't know about limitation till they taught you. You didn't know until you started getting that programming as I always call it, until you really didn't know there was a limit. You asked your parents for things and until they said we can't afford it, you didn't know. When you, until you spoke that, they didn't know that, right? They learned it from us. They learned it from society. So what if you took people and put them back inside of the kingdom and say, listen, all the things that we are in bondage to is simply harvest that we are reaping from the things we have been taught from the nations of the world. Jesus said, when you step into my kingdom, your father knows what the needs are that you have. You see what I'm saying, God knows. You can't inform God, God I need this. The renders do the mortgages do, I need this. I need God knows what you have need of. You're not informing him. But seek, listen, listen to the answer here. So he says the nations of the world taught you all that, but then he says, but seek the kingdom of God. And all of these things shall be at it. You know what people have taken that to mean? Wait till you die and the gateway to abundance is you dying. I'm not even gonna teach that right now. You ain't, you dying is not your exit to get to abundance. That's not what God is telling you. God is saying, they taught you one thing. Seek the kingdom now. Seek to learn it. You gotta understand there is a harvest that is yours right now and all of these things will start to be added to you. In other words, it'll come like a download into your spirit. It'll be added. Trying to help you. Thanks for first watch. Do not fear little floxies, the little flock at first, right? Jesus took a bunch of people that were raised in tradition, raised in the world and all of this. He grabs a remnant of those people. He said, we're gonna repopulate the earth with this new idea, with this original idea of how everybody in here has something buried in you and you know it and you feel it. You don't have time to deal with it though. You ain't got time to cultivate it. Your job is keeping you busy, right? All the stuff you learn, you don't even know how to deal with that. You don't know how, like, but I'm telling you, the thing that is in you is part of the tools that God will use to harvest heaven. You can't harvest heaven in the same way you harvest things on earth. So we have to get this new mindset. He says, don't fear little flock. It is your father's good pleasure to give you what? Y'all, let me take my time on this. The kingdom. I want you to see the kingdom as the harvest. It is your father's good pleasure to give you the harvest. This is not something you work for. This is not something that you have to do. The bird doesn't do it. The bird collects it. The lily doesn't do it. The lily just enjoys it from being planted in it. This is not some kind of weird thing when you die one day here's what you're gonna get. No, this is how you are actually designed to work right now. If you can start to learn this right now, then you can start to learn how to harvest heaven. Everything that you need in life is going to be a heavenly harvest if it's coming from God. You hear what I'm saying? Whatever it is, you need wisdom. It's gonna be harvesting it from heaven. You need a strategy. You're gonna have to harvest it from. You need a healing. It is already done. It's gonna be a harvest from heaven. You need strength. It's gonna be a harvest from heaven, right? You have to watch out for things that not only train you wrong, but become an enemy to your harvest. The greatest, let me tell you this, the greatest enemy to your harvest is an alternative harvest. In other words, somebody planting something else in you. This is what I called last week, but while men slept, an enemy came in so seed into the field. See, that is the worst thing because you can start to depend and enjoy that. You can start to let technology replace God. You can start to let nutrition replace God. You can start to let things that, even if it's helpful in this world, start to replace God. Well, even if it's helping momentarily, it won't cure, it won't fix what it will do is breathe more independence. Till people are wagging their finger at God for telling him you don't need that for me to fix you. Do not feel a little flak. Your father wants to give you the kingdom, the harvest. In heaven, there is nothing, listen to me, end the, end the spiritual realm. Are you listening? Nothing is growing. It's grown. You're, so see, are y'all getting these principles? You're not waiting on God to finish growing it so he can give it to you. It's grown. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes that God has planted eternity in men's hearts, that his history is gonna come into your presence. In other words, the Bible says he holds his history accountable that it shows up on the earth. It's past tense to him. It's full grown. Destiny set. Purpose set. You wanna purpose? It's a harvest. It's not something you go to school for. You might go to school to, know, get into the industry. But it's something that's already there. It's a harvest. It's not something you go find, you know, out there. You want to plan for you? You want to you want an identity? It's a harvest. It's not something you can decide or change. You are that already, whether you want to say you're not or not. You can discover it. It's a harvest. You can gather it. You can you can you can reap it, but you can't decide it because it's already set. You want wisdom? It's a harvest, right? You see my point here? It's God's pleasure to give you what He's already grown for you. You want salvation? It's a harvest. You can't do nothing about that. You have to take it from Jesus. Everything's a harvest. Everything's a heart. Jesus said, if you don't understand these principles, when he talked about sowing and reaping from the spiritual, he said, you won't understand any of my other teachings. So foundational thing in the kingdom. Y'all still flowing with me. Yeah. And it's important that we understand this really quick, guys. It's really important that we understand, okay. That we get in this mindset that there's nothing growing in heaven. There's nothing that needs to be remodeled in heaven. There's nothing that needs to be fixed in heaven. There's no pain in heaven. There's nothing undone in heaven. There's no unsatisfaction in heaven. Why is that important? Because that's important that you properly understand heaven so you can properly posture yourself and participate on earth. Because if you think something is growing in heaven, God is cooking up something in heaven. You will be fine waiting for heaven to answer you. If you misunderstand heaven, there's no way you can properly participate in its abundance. If you think that God is trying to figure your life out, he's the God that starts that he finishes it from the end and works his way to the beginning. He doesn't just know how it's going to work out when he gets there. He knows the end from the beginning. He goes to the end and then starts it and says everything has to work out for this end. I know the purpose before the day you got here. It's a difficult thing, man. Especially when you're raising kids, right? You think about stuff? Like if you're a kingdom-minded person and you start paying attention to them, they are not aware that you know their purpose. And then you get to a place in life where you look like a fool because maybe you're not going along with the world's plans for them. And then you say, when you were born, I already knew how to direct you. You're just learning but I knew the end from the day you got here. Ooh, look at this dynamic. You show up. What am I doing here, Lord? Because before I formed you and your mother's womb, I have called you. If you misunderstand heaven, you're going to mismanage yourself on the earth. You can't align with something that you don't think is even done. And subconsciously you don't, you say, well, I don't think that pastor Mike, I kind of think heaven is pretty cool right now. See, we don't act like that though. We don't act like we can trust and align ourselves with this system and this idea. See, the way that God designed everything, the kingdom of heaven is a finished place. It is a true reality. All of the earth's governance should come from the kingdom of God because there is no mystery like they try to figure out how to solve problems on the earth. Heaven already knows that. It's finished. The government is finished. The laws are finished. Success is finished. The harvest is finished. We participate in it through seed. We participate in it through obedient action. Y'all getting this? See, and I want to touch another thing. Can y'all give me some more time here? We own time. Don't worry about it. We're going to get, listen, I want you to get this a completely different concept. Some of you guys were raised and this was a point of review, but since it was such a big deal, I had to hit it again today. There are a lot of people because of how you were raised, you thought that the things that I'm finding myself bonded, you know, in bondage too. Actually, some people actually believe they have some sort of curse on their family. They think that. When I became a pastor, you know, I didn't realize how big of a deal that was. Until people kept coming to me and said, "No, I've accepted the fact that there's something in our bloodline and God is just doing this, and he's letting this happen because something my relatives did to us and whatever, whatever." Especially if you're from another country, see where I grew up, it wasn't as big of a deal. But in some countries where my wife is from, it is a big deal. I mean, it is so huge. And so people are really interested in certain countries about the voodoo and the root they put on me and the, you know, all of this stuff, these rituals they did with me and this and this and that, right? And they think that's following me around. Let me show you something, okay? Colossians 1, verse 13, I want to show you something really powerful right here. Okay? God has delivered us. You see this? From the power of darkness. He has transferred me, conveyed me us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. So we have moved jurisdictions. I am dead to everything that was following me before. The price is paid, whatever my family sowed Jesus reaped. He took, he didn't just take my sin. The Bible says he took my sickness. He bore my grief. He shared my sorrow. Y'all understand. If I sowed it or my family sowed it, when Jesus got on the cross, he reaped it. You don't have to reaped anything your family signed you up for. Because Jesus reaped a negative harvest so that you could have his harvest. This is not following you. The only way these things show up in our lives is if we voluntarily give ourselves to them. So in other words, if you let a demon run in your life, not knowing you have authority, not knowing that you can get rid of it, not knowing that he is basically illegal because you are in Christ now because Second Corinthians 517 says in him, we are new creatures or creations because I'm not in him. If they can not educate, if somebody doesn't tell you you're free, you won't act free. So don't think, I found out this was a big deal for people. Well, it was in our bloodline. You know, so I heard that I got to go order this special thing online and it's supposed to be some kind of thing. And then like you put it on your table and you do this and you do this and it's supposed to like, like, cleanse you of all this and you say this special type of prayer like this and you know that does you or, you know, I got to get on a plane and fly to Africa and there's this lady who lives up on a hill. And she's got this thing and she'll just come out and she'll just like wave it over you and I heard that that's what it's, you know, that sounds crazy to you. That's what people are doing. Because when you feel stuck, you don't know what like, okay, maybe there's a curse or maybe there's a, right? If the harvest that you keep getting, it might feel like bondage. If you are in Christ Jesus, if the harvest you keep reaping is is ungodly and it doesn't line up with scripture, it's because of the seeds we continue to sow. If we sow to the flesh, we reap destruction. If we sow to the spirit, we reap everlasting life. Once you learn how that works, you will not accept any type of bondage, okay? Even your authority in, in the kingdom is a harvest that you get from Jesus. Once you know about that, about that authority, you're not any demon that presents itself or even demonic activities, you just cast it out. You don't accept it and say, well, I guess you know, you was in my family before I guess you can follow me around now. You don't understand people need deliverance. Every time Jesus delivered somebody, it's because he could see what they really had in the kingdom. He had access. He brought the harvest to them. Basically, he said, hey, you know, you're not bound. Let me show you. And he delivered them. No, you're not sick. Let me show you. You don't have a withered hand. Let me show you. Jesus knew how to get the harvest out. He said, look, this has already been provided. It's already done. Your hands are good. Everything's fine. You have been duped into believing or accepting these things. Let me show you. They just won't teach you anything. The religious people of the day, you keep going to church. The lady went over there, been over 18 years. Nobody ever set her free. You know what Jesus said about those people? He said, this is Matthew chapter 23. I think he said, these were people who closed the kingdoms and men's faces. In other words, they don't, they don't let you see the harvest. He said because they never went in themselves. So what are they? If, if you don't know abundance and it's present state now, or you misunderstand the kingdom, you teach people that it's blind leading to blind. Now we're all doomed, aren't we? Are you getting this? So you are not cursed. The harvest is yours. I want you to put some other verses on the screen for me. Y'all getting this so far because a lot of people will argue with you about that. And you tell them, Jesus has set me free. And I don't have to accept any of these things. And if any demon comes back to visit you from your family, say, you don't listen, you have the wrong address. I'm looking for such and such house. Well, this is the house of God. I'm looking for such and such as last name. Well, my last name is changed. That person you're looking for is dead. That person is dead. You can try to collect from them, but you ever try to collect money from a dead person Somebody dying your family go to the caskies that you owe me some money Did they give it to you? No, and if a demon shows up and says your family owes me this you say you know, I'm sorry that person's dead Good luck Because it's not I did live but Christ it lives in me and the life that I now live I live by faith in the Son of God Are y'all getting what I'm saying the harvest is mine. I just see now. I'm focused on that now. I need to learn how to harvest heaven now All right almost finish they with me for just another minute here the harvest so let me give you a principle of harvest and make sure you understand this all right So turn to or you can just put it on the screen guys John chapter 4 verse 35 Show you this really quick. I won't have time to finish all this, but I want you to catch this all right Everything is about the harvest so so if if God designed us To be those who receive heaven on the earth then the real challenge is Not do we have a right an inheritance or do we have a harvest that has our name on it is really How do we get it out? If we've been taught the other way, how do we get this out and nobody's focused on this you don't go to churches in here Kingdom teaching and if you do start teaching on the kingdom people will start saying well, is that one of them kingdom churches? Yeah, I mean this is the kingdom book so if you really teach it you that's what you look for right because Let me show you about the harvest here principles of harvest right this down in your nose Jesus said To natural-minded people do not say They're they're still four months and then comes the harvest why because that's the natural cycle isn't it? You plant something about four months. What it depends on what it is you get a harvest He said not this is not we're not going by the physical realm what y'all have been taught That's not what we're going by behold. I say to you lift up your eyes Look at the field they are already white for harvest Look at lift up here. Look at what look at what he says to him there He says naturally minded you saying four months. He said watch me. He says You're looking at you know, he's not talking about their fields because obviously there was nothing there. They just told you that They just said in four months will have something so he didn't say it. No, see look I mean no, this ain't like him using the field that they know he's not using that he said look and change dimensions Lift why don't you even say this way lift up your eyes? You look down here and wait for the harvest. He says look up there and you'll start seeing a finished harvest This is important to understand. Okay, because if you know wait a minute up here. There's an abundance Then you're going to start finding out. Okay, how do I how do I collect that because if you're waiting for that harvest to come in in four months You're not even getting ready to collect it until it comes If you got something do today Like what if the what if the bird had two worm rent do tomorrow? You get what I'm saying see this is what gets people and I can tell them confidently I say you know what you got to be in a kingdom church to learn kingdom things because we don't listen to the Natural world and say this is the only way God can get this done because if you just got a new job for example And you get paid in a month or in two weeks or three weeks or whatever it is You know if you're in that world and then you say yeah, but this bill is due tomorrow or this bill is due in one week Now I duck the math ain't lining up. Well, maybe God provided for me for the job But now it's still going to be too much time until the harvest guys if you can just learn that the harvest is Above your senses. It's right here, and it's ready for plucking now You see how we sit there and wait on the two weeks Wait on the four months We're still waiting for the earth to take care of me The instruction was man to replenish the earth not the earth to replenish you How am I going to replenish the earth from the earth? I'm going to take abundance and put it on the earth Won't y'all to catch this See when you're thinking this way I want you to start to lift your eyes up to a finished harvest and this the power of harvesting heaven is it allows you to now pursue callings Destiny it allows you to enjoy life the way God intended you to enjoy it Right, you have a lot of incentive to learn how to harvest the power of harvesting heaven is deliverance from the lies of Earth or the demonic activity in the oppression on the earth as soon as you can learn the how how can they stop you? Okay, you Lord forbid the bank burn up Y'all like Lord and pastor Mike man, I know But what what are you left with at that point prayer? Right man just learn to live like the bird every day Just start to learn to live from there. I don't care how much is in the bank. What if you don't have access to it? I'm not prophesying. I'm just asking you look like learn from the bird like like what if you look Okay, some people say when my bank was good the next person walks up my bank is completely empty one person in my you know my house is full This one said mine is empty Everybody has access to the harvest of heaven We just have not been taught to do this. This is because they like to control you How do you make a man who has abundance fear not having abundance? Because Jesus would say to you oh the supply is low. He'd say look up That's what he would say and you say oh that's just that church stuff. I really need it I'm telling you the truth. I know you need it Look up Amen The harvest is planning for now. He said the laborers are few He said people we don't have a harvest issue can at least I'm establishing that correct John, let's see. What was that John? Okay, so he said now the laborers is what is few I think that's Matthew 937 38 building your nose like this is gonna be so pop this is gonna be a life-changing thing you're gonna learn All right, so put all this together He said to the side disciples the harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few Again, you see the harvest is truly plentiful Lift up your eyes to the heart now. Here's what people think that is There's a lot of parallels in the Bible to harvest, but this one Is not what you've been taught here's what we've been taught God wants to harvest the souls of men out of the earth and harvest them to Heaven this is not talking about that This is saying to you we have plenty to bring from heaven We just don't have any skilled laborers who know how the spiritual dimension of the kingdom works Because they've been forced into our societal cultural programs. They just don't know how to do it So Jesus keeps coming along and he doesn't say he never wants now don't get me wrong Let me pray for something real quick. It's okay for any type of way you can get a person to put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and be safe. Can I say that put that down? He I established that that is not what the message of the Bible is saying God never if Adam never sin There would have never been a concept of you going back So Jesus didn't come down to prevent you from ever living here I know you've been taught that but that really set me free because I never really wanted to go there I'm gonna tell you something as a lost person. This was me. I'm gonna tell you how when I was lost I was born and beating inside of me. I feel a purpose and Then I heard maybe like the world would end in 2000 or something The first time or whatever time the 80s, whatever Man, I remember going like But I did this true story, but I didn't even see what I could do I Don't want to go I Want to see what I can do Something I'll feel like that. Some of you are ready to go I'm gonna tell you the truth God don't want you there That's what healing is for so you can't come He won't you there you want you here eating from heaven He wants you here healthy from heaven. That's what he wants. He wants you to enjoy eternal life here He wants you see it wasn't never intended for you to get harvested out. It was intended for you to harvest from him So when and I'm okay with the crusades and all that don't get mirror But when did we learn to stand up and do something you never see Jesus do? He never got in front of a crowd and said if you say this prayer You will be guaranteed to go to heaven He kept showing them the harvest He said actually you want him named nobody even thinking about leaving actually you just want out of that problem, right? Okay, you're here. Let me show you what's in heaven here. Here it is abundance fish. You want that here It is let me show you I'm telling you oh your sin problem. Don't worry. I'm gonna take care of that shortly the rest of it look look This is what happens nobody is skilled in bringing the harvest to people This is what happens. And so people think that we have turned the people into the harvest. They say, you know what? I think what we need to do is just get out here and do stuff that Jesus never did. Church looks nothing like the scripture. And people are like, I just want to know that. And you know, if church was teaching folks like he taught them, then you'd have a bunch of victorious people terrorizing darkness in the community. But you don't. You got a bunch of people that say, I can't wait to leave because. But because nobody ever taught you this. I don't, I'm down, by the way, I'm practically down with any way you can get a person to say that prayer though. Get what I'm saying. Not against that. But you see my guys, I pulled up. I'm about to let you go. Just listen to me one more minute. Listen to me. I pulled up at a gas station the other day. And I've told you all my stories. And so I don't tick talk everybody. I help. Like, you know, preachers and influencers. Like I like it. I think I'm like, man, this will be cool except for now. That lady can never show her face anywhere else. So I pulled up at the gas station. And this lady pulled up beside me. I was telling our team this yesterday. And I was just standing there. I had just went to the bank. It's not like I walk around like this. But I just went to the bank and I had a couple of hundreds in my pocket, right? And actually, I had another thing in mind for this. So I had a couple of a hundred dollars, right? Just like 200 bucks. And I just, I said, yeah, I'm thinking about this thing that I'm going to do with this, right? So I had just gone to the main. Pulled up and God said, hey, give that lady a hundred dollars. First you say, pay for her gas. And I said, I ain't got no 100s. It's only 200 calm down. We're thinking about this for a second. Why's now? So I looked at my pocket and I was like, oh, yeah, yeah. I just went to the bank. So I had, and I said, well, the gas probably is a little car. She had two little kids. And you could tell just by the situation, this was not good, right? So she pumps her gas, the kids are playing or whatever. And I heard the Lord say this. So I didn't pull out my phone in recorder and nothing like that. I ain't trying to go viral helping folks. So I pulled the money out and I said, no, I might have to skillfully do this. She's a woman. I'm not hitting on you or nothing. I got to be skillful. So I tried my best and I was really careful and whatever. And I said, listen, I just wanted to pay for your gas, right? And so she was like, I said, how much was it? It was like 25 30, but it was a small car. And so I gave her the the hundred. And when I gave her the money, she froze. And the reaction that she had was like the reaction you see happening when Jesus does stuff for people. But I always thought to myself, because, you know, I bless her and I prayed for her and all that stuff. I said, listen, you know, God bless you. God loves you. I gave her the, you know, the Lord is, you know, speaking to you, I gave her some words of encouragement and all this stuff. And I gave her, see, this is what I kept thinking. If I had never learned how to harvest anything, then when somebody showed up in need, all I could have promised her is one day she can go to heaven, which is fine. But I promise you, it is much stronger if I give you the harvest a little bit of it right now. You want to talk about a church invitation? Give me a hundred dollars. I'm coming. Come on, somebody, come on. Can we give Jesus a praise? Come on. See, it's important. The power of harvesting. If you get somebody healed, that's more powerful. Show it to them now. You said, but Pastor Mike, I don't know how that's my point. Nobody, we're going to learn this. I don't tell you listen, no matter what topic we're teaching, I'm always trying to teach you the kingdom way of that, right? So that you can pull all this great stuff into the earth now. And when you meet somebody, you ain't got to say, well, you ain't going what you're going to do with that hundred dollars. You're going to waste it. You ain't going to miss it. You're going to be like, you know what, I was going to buy a man, I promise you after I get, I just a little and don't record them. You're pulling from, this is what I thought, even if it was my life, I've given people my last one before. Okay. Even when I started the church and we had zero, zero, zero, zero, I've given it out of obedience. God said, do I did it? I never thought once he gave me this principle, I never thought that's all there is. Because I'm living like the birds now. Come on somebody jump up on your feet. Listen, fear, not, fear, not. You are only just miseducated, misinformed. I promise you to deliver it. You want out of that? I know you, I know you, I know all of you. You want to be the lender. Yeah, you do. You want to be the lender, not the borrower. You want to be the head and not the tail. I know and the churches ain't even allowed to teach people how to do that. But it feels a whole lot better to give you that money than it is for me to get it from you. And I've been on both sides of that equation. If you want to teach people that God loves them, give them the thing. Give them the healing. Give them the work. I'm going to teach you. I didn't have time today. I'm going to teach you some of the tools of harvesting later. This is going to be a long series, but at least you got to establish the facts of harvest. Never, ever think that heaven doesn't have it for you. We do need to learn how to harvest it and kind of beat the education we've been given. Can I pray for you? Hallelujah. I feel something. I can see I'm looking up. I'm looking up. There's some of you guys have so much unclaimed harvest. Some of us have learned to start to tap into some, but there's so much more. It's important that we harvest it, though, because that's the deliverance of people will run to where their needs are met. People will run to a God whose meeting need. And it ain't just like the church. No, you are the church. When you out there, you don't got to bring them to me. I didn't bring them to the church. I gave it to them for me. You see a need and you want to feel it? That's your job. You can speak it. You can do whatever. Follow the voice of God, but you are going to learn how to bring this thing into your world so that you can do that. Amen. Lift your hands. Father, we give you praise. The harvest is plentiful. I want to see you this into the mind of your people. Not one thing that pops up in our life right now has not been met. You have met every need already. The harvest is truly great. We will not be in bondage to any deficiency. Spiritual, emotional, financial, health. You have already supplied. God will give you praise. We are delivered right here in this moment in the church. If you believe it, shout amen. Come on, if you see the harvest, shout amen. Love you guys. Thank you so much for the kind words, the cards. We are going to read all of that, the gifts we love you, and we will see you guys next week and listen. Go bring some people with you so they can learn how to harvest heaven themselves.
