WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:03.180 Turn your Bibles to Genesis chapter 26. 00:03.720 --> 00:07.920 I just want to go over something that we're going to go over today, Lord willing. 00:08.100 --> 00:12.720 I say that because I just felt so, like, 00:13.140 --> 00:16.440 inside, just wrestling with where you want this thing to go. 00:16.540 --> 00:20.680 Whenever that happens, then there's just something about that 00:20.680 --> 00:24.640 where I just know back off and just let God do whatever He wants to do, for sure. 00:25.440 --> 00:29.780 Sometimes, I mean, we always do that, but many times we'll say this is what I want you to do. 00:29.780 --> 00:35.720 If He ain't saying nothing, you just leave it alone and let Him do what He wants to do. 00:36.100 --> 00:43.340 We talked about wells, and years ago, Jim Isaacson had brought up that we're digging a well, 00:43.600 --> 00:47.260 and he said, I see it here at the altar, we're digging a well. 00:47.500 --> 00:54.120 And that's when we moved from the modular to here, and it was psychologically, that's a weird transfer. 00:55.380 --> 00:59.700 Hopefully it even goes smoother when we move from here over into the new sanctuary, 01:00.160 --> 01:03.960 because you have that oddity of change and all of that kind of stuff. 01:04.160 --> 01:07.380 And then it gets frustrating because people, they want God to be moving, 01:07.460 --> 01:12.160 but their brain is so distracted from all the new stuff, and it takes a bit to kick that in. 01:12.240 --> 01:18.240 But once we got in sync with the spirit, we definitely were digging a well. 01:18.440 --> 01:23.800 And that's still going on, and it's still stirring the waters to keep everything fresh. 01:24.420 --> 01:30.580 You can't do that in the natural, that has to be done in the supernatural, without getting weird. 01:31.660 --> 01:33.440 I always have to put that clause on the end. 01:34.100 --> 01:39.400 And so some people would say we're weird already, but if it's word, it's word. 01:39.840 --> 01:41.740 But if it's outside of word, then that's weird. 01:42.360 --> 01:44.160 So we want to make sure that we do that. 01:44.260 --> 01:48.620 When we talked about the wells, where Isaac was blessed, 01:48.620 --> 01:53.320 then Isaac planted seed, this is verse 12 of 26 in Genesis. 01:53.500 --> 01:57.800 Then Isaac planted seed in the land that was given to him as a farmer 01:57.800 --> 02:02.200 and reaped in the same year a hundred times as much as he had planted, 02:02.600 --> 02:05.240 and the Lord blessed and favored him. 02:06.160 --> 02:11.140 We are in, believe it or not, doesn't matter how many attacks, what's going on in America, Israel, 02:11.380 --> 02:13.700 all of those different things, we are in seed time and harvest. 02:15.280 --> 02:19.040 And not only have we been in seed time and harvest since forever, 02:20.160 --> 02:24.040 since Genesis, when it says seed time and harvest will continue. 02:25.580 --> 02:28.600 I mean, it's not that it ended, it will always be, right? 02:28.940 --> 02:33.720 Until the Lord sets up a different system, but he operates as a farmer, 02:33.900 --> 02:35.640 he operates on seed time and harvest. 02:36.520 --> 02:41.700 And so what we're in right now, I find interesting as a prayer group, 02:41.700 --> 02:45.920 we have to pay attention to when God highlights a subject, 02:46.900 --> 02:50.060 you go through all the growth around that subject, 02:50.600 --> 02:52.480 or you're in denial to the subject. 02:53.000 --> 02:53.860 These are your options. 02:54.760 --> 02:57.300 Like, I don't want to hear about it, I'll wait till this is done. 02:57.780 --> 02:59.320 We'll skip this or whatever. 02:59.520 --> 03:03.420 Well, this is a part of the church growing and Pastor's been talking a little bit. 03:03.480 --> 03:05.280 He had a little chance to talk on tithing, 03:06.320 --> 03:10.920 but that's not only the tithe and it's not just settling an argument. 03:10.920 --> 03:12.760 Yes, we want to know that that's in the Word, 03:13.160 --> 03:16.220 but we also want to know just the attitude of giving. 03:17.540 --> 03:22.200 And part of it that got highlighted was in open heavens, right? 03:23.360 --> 03:24.600 And what did he say in open heavens? 03:24.780 --> 03:26.480 What did the Lord say through several different people? 03:26.820 --> 03:28.280 What kind of giving is going to happen here? 03:30.320 --> 03:30.760 Extravagant. 03:32.400 --> 03:34.340 That means in order to be... 03:34.340 --> 03:36.980 You know, anytime you have the end result spoken over you, 03:37.180 --> 03:38.880 you're like, yes, let's do it, 03:38.880 --> 03:39.880 but you don't know the middle. 03:40.740 --> 03:43.000 You don't know how this thing's kind of work, you know? 03:43.360 --> 03:45.940 But we usually like to just kind of jump into the harvest 03:45.940 --> 03:48.240 and I'll be talking to some about that this morning. 03:48.860 --> 03:51.480 You can't, as a farmer, you can't just jump into the harvest. 03:52.500 --> 03:54.000 It's a progressive thing, right? 03:54.120 --> 03:55.680 So you hear about the harvest and you're like, 03:55.800 --> 03:57.920 that's what I want. I want to be a part of that. 03:58.340 --> 03:59.980 I not only want to learn how to tithe, 04:00.040 --> 04:03.000 but I want to learn how to do offerings properly with the right heart. 04:03.180 --> 04:04.700 And I want to learn how to do alms, 04:04.740 --> 04:06.020 which most people don't understand. 04:06.020 --> 04:08.920 How many of you heard tons of sermons on alms? 04:09.760 --> 04:11.240 Hands are flying up everywhere 04:11.240 --> 04:13.760 because nobody really talks about it. 04:14.960 --> 04:18.080 So, you know, and so then when it's not talked about, 04:18.280 --> 04:19.820 then there's no structure for it. 04:19.880 --> 04:22.600 If there's no structure, then there's nothing we can take 04:23.260 --> 04:24.580 ourself and measure to 04:25.080 --> 04:26.820 because there's no structure laying there. 04:26.860 --> 04:28.980 There's no measurement that we can lay down next to 04:28.980 --> 04:30.020 and be like, how am I doing? 04:30.900 --> 04:32.220 There's no structure for that. 04:32.420 --> 04:34.440 So that means even if you're doing alms, 04:34.440 --> 04:35.260 are you doing it right? 04:36.500 --> 04:38.980 Even if we're participating in doing offerings, 04:39.200 --> 04:40.140 do we have the right heart 04:40.140 --> 04:41.620 and what's our heart supposed to be like? 04:41.760 --> 04:42.720 All of those different things. 04:43.440 --> 04:46.120 And so the blessing was spoke over Isaac. 04:46.640 --> 04:51.060 We saw this and it was around also the opening of the wells. 04:51.840 --> 04:53.520 So when God, and I'll say this, 04:53.640 --> 04:55.140 when God highlights something 04:56.340 --> 04:57.780 that we're supposed to go after 04:57.780 --> 04:59.120 and we say, yes, and amen, 04:59.920 --> 05:00.860 we kick into obedience. 05:01.120 --> 05:03.940 And it's the doers who get that reward, right? 05:03.940 --> 05:06.420 You get the benefit of actually harvesting. 05:06.920 --> 05:07.760 It's the doers. 05:07.920 --> 05:09.260 It's not that I just heard about it 05:09.260 --> 05:10.060 and I thought about it. 05:10.100 --> 05:11.740 It's you actually have to get up and do it. 05:12.320 --> 05:13.640 The doers carry the blessing, 05:14.480 --> 05:16.580 produce the blessing around them 05:16.580 --> 05:19.380 and in them by just by being obedient. 05:20.180 --> 05:22.080 So Isaac's trying to be obedient here. 05:22.200 --> 05:23.880 The favor of God is on him. 05:23.980 --> 05:25.120 The blessing is there. 05:25.400 --> 05:26.980 He goes ahead and he plants 05:26.980 --> 05:29.980 and he reaps in the same year 05:29.980 --> 05:32.360 a hundred times as much as he had planted. 05:32.900 --> 05:35.000 Ooh, that is a good harvest. 05:36.240 --> 05:37.960 That's a farmer's dream. 05:38.520 --> 05:40.360 And the Lord blessed and favored him. 05:40.940 --> 05:42.780 Grace to him is another word for favor. 05:43.580 --> 05:46.040 Or the word favor actually means favorite. 05:46.800 --> 05:47.000 Favorite. 05:47.680 --> 05:50.200 Like, hey, let me make you my favorite. 05:51.420 --> 05:53.000 Not choosing you out of everyone else. 05:53.180 --> 05:55.560 Everyone can put themselves in that spot 05:55.560 --> 05:57.900 where favor and grace has come upon us 05:57.900 --> 05:59.180 and we just feel like his favorite. 05:59.180 --> 06:00.120 Like, thanks, God. 06:00.640 --> 06:01.660 I know I'm your favorite kid. 06:02.780 --> 06:04.340 You take care of me so well 06:04.340 --> 06:06.360 because favor feels that way. 06:06.640 --> 06:08.760 Because you don't really deserve it. 06:09.180 --> 06:10.300 Neither do I. 06:10.860 --> 06:11.760 But favor is grace. 06:13.080 --> 06:14.780 And we already know we don't deserve that. 06:15.140 --> 06:16.860 And yet he freely gives it to us. 06:16.920 --> 06:17.620 Isn't that awesome? 06:18.380 --> 06:20.600 And so the thing I'm trying to draw 06:20.600 --> 06:22.820 is the picture of we talked about the wells 06:22.820 --> 06:26.540 and the wells that Abraham 06:26.540 --> 06:30.040 had built under the direction of God or Doug 06:30.540 --> 06:32.500 and then how they got covered over. 06:33.120 --> 06:36.140 And then here, Isaac's doing what God told him to do 06:36.140 --> 06:38.860 and it ticks off the Philippines. 06:39.560 --> 06:41.000 You know, the Philippians. 06:41.140 --> 06:42.960 Like she said, the Philistines. 06:43.520 --> 06:44.780 So here I'm in a different country. 06:45.640 --> 06:48.460 And so then Isaac planted seed in that land 06:48.460 --> 06:50.400 as a farmer and reaped in the same year 06:50.400 --> 06:52.680 a hundred times as much as he had planted 06:52.680 --> 06:54.160 and the Lord blessed and favored him. 06:54.160 --> 06:56.240 And the man Isaac became great 06:56.240 --> 06:58.700 and gained more and more until he became very wealthy 06:58.700 --> 07:00.820 and extremely distinguished. 07:01.080 --> 07:03.720 He owned flocks and herds and great households 07:03.720 --> 07:04.900 with a number of servants, 07:05.100 --> 07:07.180 and the Philistines envied him. 07:08.280 --> 07:11.640 So when God highlights something in our life, 07:11.760 --> 07:12.760 he could highlight healing. 07:12.960 --> 07:14.660 Like we're going to go through a series on healing. 07:14.840 --> 07:16.000 Now is the time to do that. 07:16.320 --> 07:19.720 Well, when you speak on healing, healings come forward. 07:19.960 --> 07:21.360 It's like, you know, it's like prophetic 07:21.360 --> 07:22.820 to like, here's what we're dealing with. 07:22.820 --> 07:24.200 So here's what's going to come to pass. 07:25.040 --> 07:26.840 So if we're dealing with tithing, if we're dealing 07:26.840 --> 07:28.780 with offering, if we're dealing with the hearts 07:28.780 --> 07:30.680 that surrounds around alms, 07:31.080 --> 07:33.760 all of those heart issues are going to be dealt with. 07:33.980 --> 07:35.560 We're also prophetically speaking 07:35.560 --> 07:37.920 that we're going to be in the go-motion of it. 07:38.920 --> 07:40.740 The go-motion? That's my term. 07:41.260 --> 07:42.500 If you're in the go-motion of something, 07:42.600 --> 07:43.580 that means you're in process, 07:43.760 --> 07:44.900 like you're headed that way. 07:45.300 --> 07:46.960 And the blessing works like that 07:46.960 --> 07:49.060 because the word bless means empowered to prosper 07:49.060 --> 07:50.460 to have success down the road. 07:50.460 --> 07:53.880 So you have to be heading down the road of obedience 07:53.880 --> 07:54.980 in the go-motion 07:56.320 --> 07:58.480 for this thing to even take place. 07:58.780 --> 08:00.920 And this is where people can get critical 08:00.920 --> 08:03.660 and we become experts on something we've never done. 08:04.000 --> 08:05.540 And we're not in the go-motion. 08:05.760 --> 08:07.300 We hear just enough to be dangerous, 08:07.440 --> 08:08.320 but not enough to know. 08:08.420 --> 08:09.880 And we'll be like, I don't know if I believe that. 08:10.420 --> 08:11.800 We're not even in the go-motion. 08:11.900 --> 08:14.060 So you don't really have to comment. 08:16.080 --> 08:18.160 You don't really have a right to speak into it. 08:18.240 --> 08:19.940 You don't really have a right to have an opinion 08:19.940 --> 08:21.800 because you're not a part of it 08:21.800 --> 08:23.360 to let it prove itself. 08:24.980 --> 08:25.540 Right? 08:26.300 --> 08:27.380 So be careful of that 08:27.380 --> 08:29.580 because something that stuck out to me 08:29.580 --> 08:32.540 what Pastor said last time he preached 08:32.540 --> 08:34.540 was tithing is holy. 08:35.680 --> 08:37.340 All giving is holy. 08:38.560 --> 08:40.200 And anything that is holy 08:40.200 --> 08:41.580 and supposed to be held in that 08:41.580 --> 08:43.000 will challenge the heart 08:43.000 --> 08:44.500 and anything that's unholy 08:44.500 --> 08:46.480 will stick its little head up. 08:46.960 --> 08:49.300 Which is good because then you can cut it off. 08:50.060 --> 08:51.180 If you don't know if it's there, 08:51.320 --> 08:52.920 you can't see what's in your heart. 08:53.280 --> 08:54.660 Anytime you're in the go-motion, 08:55.080 --> 08:56.440 you find out stuff about yourself 08:56.440 --> 08:57.760 you did not know before. 08:58.880 --> 09:00.960 If you're sitting still, you already know 09:00.960 --> 09:02.540 you're fine, everything's great. 09:03.260 --> 09:04.200 I just don't believe in that. 09:05.700 --> 09:08.340 You start applying the word in any area. 09:08.520 --> 09:09.640 It doesn't have to just be giving. 09:10.000 --> 09:12.300 It's in any principle of the kingdom of God. 09:12.740 --> 09:14.880 And the kingdom of God is connected to the place, 09:15.040 --> 09:16.080 the kingdom of heaven, right? 09:16.480 --> 09:18.500 Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. 09:18.500 --> 09:19.480 Thy kingdom come. 09:20.060 --> 09:21.540 Thy will be done on earth 09:21.540 --> 09:22.880 as it already is in heaven. 09:23.120 --> 09:24.760 We're lining up with the heavenlies 09:24.760 --> 09:27.240 when we do the things he's asked us to do. 09:28.720 --> 09:30.900 And if we don't do the things he's asked us to do, 09:30.960 --> 09:32.000 who are we lining up with? 09:35.460 --> 09:37.680 So we like to think there's a gray area 09:37.680 --> 09:39.880 that we just hang out in, you know? 09:41.200 --> 09:42.160 No, it's pretty black and white. 09:42.280 --> 09:43.060 There's only two sides. 09:43.140 --> 09:44.120 There's only light, darkness. 09:44.320 --> 09:46.040 There's only life or death. 09:46.540 --> 09:47.940 Choose life that you might live. 09:49.160 --> 09:53.120 So here, I'm just pointing out this fact. 09:53.340 --> 09:55.600 So he's highlighting this. 09:55.880 --> 09:58.200 And instead of being like wrestling with it, 09:58.260 --> 09:59.460 we should be excited about it. 09:59.780 --> 10:02.120 Like God's about to do something in my heart 10:02.120 --> 10:03.600 I've never experienced before. 10:04.280 --> 10:06.620 And then when you start to go in the go motion, 10:07.020 --> 10:11.680 what happens is that grave I talked about, 10:11.840 --> 10:13.260 a seed and you're planted. 10:13.520 --> 10:15.700 I'm gonna die to myself and I'm gonna learn about this. 10:15.700 --> 10:18.100 You're in that grave, that grief area, 10:18.500 --> 10:21.440 where you actually don't want to let go of certain things, 10:21.460 --> 10:22.480 but you know you're gonna do it. 10:22.840 --> 10:24.440 And there's a little bit of pain involved. 10:25.160 --> 10:28.120 So as we move toward that and we're in the go motion, 10:28.880 --> 10:31.720 the surroundings around us go where you think you're going. 10:34.860 --> 10:37.620 There's just like this agitation in the spirit realm. 10:38.480 --> 10:41.280 So we're headed towards something that God has highlighted. 10:42.260 --> 10:44.440 It's been there, right?

10:57.280 --> 10:58.680 And we're all worried about little money. 10:59.280 --> 11:02.260 And he laid down his life, right? 11:02.340 --> 11:04.660 And so he requires that of the planting. 11:05.480 --> 11:08.380 And then the favor, he'll just put favor on it. 11:08.460 --> 11:09.780 It's like, I got you, I got you. 11:09.840 --> 11:10.780 You're gonna get through this. 11:10.900 --> 11:12.700 It looks crazy, but I'm gonna take you through it. 11:12.800 --> 11:13.880 And you're in the go motion. 11:14.860 --> 11:17.620 And the surroundings start swirling 11:17.620 --> 11:19.460 with this enviable feeling 11:19.460 --> 11:21.400 like, where do you think you're going? 11:21.540 --> 11:23.560 You are not going to better yourself, 11:23.820 --> 11:25.160 your heart, your mind. 11:25.780 --> 11:27.380 Who do you think you are? 11:28.240 --> 11:30.500 This is a scripture, you know, where it says, 11:30.760 --> 11:33.320 may you be in health even as your soul prospers. 11:33.800 --> 11:36.360 Well, to be in the go motion regarding the giving heart, 11:36.540 --> 11:37.600 your soul's gonna prosper. 11:39.580 --> 11:41.420 The demonic realm doesn't like that. 11:42.100 --> 11:43.560 Sin itself hates that. 11:44.240 --> 11:45.900 Because it's a subtractor. 11:46.400 --> 11:48.180 And God's saying, no, I want to add to you. 11:48.340 --> 11:50.680 And it's saying, no, I'm here to subtract from you. 11:51.680 --> 11:52.920 That's the math I do. 11:53.660 --> 11:55.680 The curse does that math and that math alone. 11:57.540 --> 12:00.240 Even anything the demonic realm will bring to you, 12:00.320 --> 12:01.980 whether it be wealth or something like that, 12:02.300 --> 12:06.140 if they can use it to subtract from your heart, 12:06.660 --> 12:08.080 it's still the winning goal. 12:09.480 --> 12:11.120 It's not about how much you have, 12:11.280 --> 12:12.740 it's about the heart issue. 12:12.740 --> 12:16.060 Right?
