WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:00.820 All right, let's begin. 00:03.480 --> 00:09.840 This morning I'm looking for a couple three things to be laid out. 00:10.080 --> 00:11.520 We're here to make... 00:11.520 --> 00:15.080 I'm going to say we're here to make the final decision on what we're doing with the building. 00:16.760 --> 00:19.560 Once we're... once we get rolling, 00:20.500 --> 00:22.820 it's going to be difficult to reverse course, 00:23.820 --> 00:26.900 especially once they start digging in the ground next spring, 00:27.060 --> 00:28.780 then it's... then we're all in. 00:28.780 --> 00:32.420 But even in the next month or two, 00:32.480 --> 00:34.340 it's going to be very difficult to reverse course 00:34.340 --> 00:37.360 because a lot of things come into play 00:37.360 --> 00:40.420 before they actually throw a shovel at the dirt. 00:41.740 --> 00:45.600 How many listened to the covenant partner meeting from last week? 00:45.840 --> 00:47.520 If you... not from last... 00:47.520 --> 00:48.780 Yeah, let's start with last week. 00:48.860 --> 00:50.440 From last week, if you were not here, 00:50.660 --> 00:52.160 did you get a chance to listen to it? 00:52.560 --> 00:54.040 Okay, so you're kind of up to running speed. 00:54.400 --> 00:56.640 How many listened to the original one 00:57.140 --> 00:58.860 that I had sent a text out concerning? 00:59.880 --> 01:01.040 Okay, few of you. 01:01.960 --> 01:06.540 Because it ties into what we're going to talk about this morning. 01:06.760 --> 01:10.560 You know, we could talk about a thousand directions on this thing. 01:11.560 --> 01:13.580 And should we, shouldn't we, etc. 01:14.960 --> 01:18.540 Which, when it comes right down to being spirit-led, 01:18.760 --> 01:21.200 they all have a little bit of merit, but not much. 01:22.580 --> 01:25.180 The main question we have to answer is, 01:25.180 --> 01:26.900 did we hear God or did we miss Him? 01:28.240 --> 01:29.440 Because if we heard God, 01:30.300 --> 01:32.780 it doesn't make any difference if the rest makes sense or not. 01:34.480 --> 01:36.580 It's... that's how it works to walk by faith. 01:37.380 --> 01:39.000 In fact, most time it doesn't make sense. 01:39.800 --> 01:41.700 It's like, I can't see this working at all, 01:41.720 --> 01:42.740 but God told me to do it, 01:42.740 --> 01:44.700 so let's put one foot out in front of the other 01:44.700 --> 01:45.560 and let's see what happens. 01:46.680 --> 01:47.920 And just believe God. 01:49.140 --> 01:50.520 Because if we get into, 01:51.420 --> 01:52.900 how will we afford it? 01:53.180 --> 01:54.760 What payment plan are we going to make? 01:54.760 --> 01:58.380 All that's going to do is induce doubt. 02:00.040 --> 02:01.820 Because I'll say right from the beginning, 02:02.020 --> 02:06.520 this project, from my perspective, is without God, 02:06.720 --> 02:07.540 this is impossible. 02:12.400 --> 02:14.600 And I'll even go to this point. 02:15.040 --> 02:15.720 Without God, 02:17.840 --> 02:20.080 this is going to leave egg on my face 02:20.080 --> 02:21.840 at the last end of my ministry. 02:23.940 --> 02:25.460 But with God, 02:26.620 --> 02:27.680 all things are possible. 02:28.880 --> 02:32.640 So the main question we need to discuss this morning is, 02:32.860 --> 02:34.360 is this God or not? 02:34.540 --> 02:36.860 Because to go into sense and reasoning, 02:37.920 --> 02:40.820 Scripture tells us that if you enter into sense and reasoning 02:40.820 --> 02:43.960 without the Holy Spirit, you're into demonic stuff now. 02:45.080 --> 02:47.520 And I don't want to make a decision on a church building 02:47.520 --> 02:48.760 based on demonic input. 02:50.380 --> 02:53.760 So we're going to open to input from the Covenant partners, 02:54.460 --> 02:56.100 and I believe time will afford, 02:56.300 --> 02:57.740 so I'm just going to keep rolling here. 02:58.240 --> 03:01.320 I want the board members to weigh in on this, 03:02.140 --> 03:04.420 and I'm going to have them do it individually 03:06.220 --> 03:09.080 on what do they feel God has told them. 03:09.160 --> 03:11.520 And that's going to be the theme coming out of what I just said. 03:12.540 --> 03:14.720 The real decision we have to make is, 03:14.820 --> 03:17.380 have we heard God or have we missed Him? 03:18.460 --> 03:22.200 And if we've heard God, well, then God will make a way. 03:22.600 --> 03:23.420 You know, we sing the song, 03:23.800 --> 03:26.140 God will make a way where there seems to be no way 03:26.140 --> 03:27.140 until we have to do it. 03:27.160 --> 03:28.400 And then it's like, I think I'm out of this. 03:31.920 --> 03:34.020 So it's like, well, did we hear Him or not? 03:34.060 --> 03:35.500 Because if we heard Him, He's going to do it. 03:36.240 --> 03:39.140 If we didn't, well, then it'd be good to put the brakes on right now. 03:40.000 --> 03:41.600 So I'm going to ask the board members 03:41.600 --> 03:43.480 to come one at a time, weigh in on this. 03:44.680 --> 03:47.800 Dean, you want to be the first one to lead in on this. 03:48.260 --> 03:52.980 And then as he's done, guys, just follow your way up here. 03:55.960 --> 03:56.880 Good morning. 03:57.400 --> 03:57.900 Good morning. 03:58.300 --> 04:03.340 On Thursday morning, just in my quiet time, 04:08.370 --> 04:09.490 give me a second. 04:16.760 --> 04:19.420 This is what I felt God say, 04:20.600 --> 04:26.620 I am invoking covenant with you, the body. 04:28.180 --> 04:32.140 You have the right to ask of me anything. 04:33.540 --> 04:37.520 Sorry, this is... 04:37.520 --> 04:39.960 as do I have the right to ask of you of anything. 04:40.680 --> 04:43.500 It's all done from the position of faith 04:44.380 --> 04:46.080 for I am pleased by faith. 04:48.140 --> 04:50.400 So what I felt he's asking of us, 04:50.480 --> 04:53.240 this is our Abraham Isaac moment. 04:56.560 --> 05:00.780 And he told me, or the feeling I got from this, 05:00.900 --> 05:04.800 that we were not to look at this in a way 05:05.320 --> 05:08.040 where we were going to come out on the crappy end of the stick. 05:11.580 --> 05:14.540 We... God's nature is not one of 05:15.800 --> 05:20.180 He is El Shaddai. He is all-sufficient. 05:23.880 --> 05:26.580 Whatever you feel God's asking you to give, 05:28.580 --> 05:31.000 we will not come out on the crappy end of the stick. 05:31.120 --> 05:32.240 That's not his nature. 05:33.320 --> 05:39.460 His nature is do it and be obedient. 05:40.620 --> 05:42.840 Now for the record, I did look something up. 05:44.540 --> 05:47.460 This is God's worth, at least from a scriptural standpoint. 05:48.580 --> 05:53.280 He's worth $600 trillion, minimally. 05:53.880 --> 05:55.540 That is the wealth in this world. 05:56.320 --> 05:59.920 And the Bible says that he owns all of it. 06:00.520 --> 06:03.080 Well, he's asking us for $3 million to start. 06:05.900 --> 06:08.360 He will see this through. 06:09.360 --> 06:10.800 He will see this through. 06:10.900 --> 06:12.620 He's asking us for a small portion 06:12.620 --> 06:15.460 and he's asking for us to be obedient with it. 06:16.020 --> 06:18.480 And if we will be obedient, we will not come on 06:18.480 --> 06:19.780 on the crappy end of the stick. 06:20.140 --> 06:23.320 And just by watching that video at the end of times, 06:23.800 --> 06:27.960 if we go into some of the stuff that the one prophet said, 06:29.080 --> 06:31.440 this is going to be what survives us. 06:32.360 --> 06:33.860 This will be how we will survive 06:33.860 --> 06:36.920 because this is an exchange. 06:37.600 --> 06:39.200 We go to God with our need. 06:39.740 --> 06:42.460 He's coming to us with his need. 06:43.600 --> 06:46.020 Now, I had a quick story, pastor, if I can share it. 06:48.380 --> 06:51.260 In the early 2000s, I was living out in Salt Lake 06:52.160 --> 06:55.500 and there was a family issue that came up. 06:56.340 --> 07:00.200 And my dad called me and it had to do with the legal matter. 07:01.700 --> 07:04.820 And he asked me to give him to it. 07:07.540 --> 07:12.840 Now, had anybody asked me anybody else other than that, 07:13.020 --> 07:16.660 I would have probably resisted it because dad asked me. 07:17.720 --> 07:20.360 It was, it had weight to it. 07:22.180 --> 07:25.740 Oh, my God, father is asking us of something 07:25.740 --> 07:29.900 and it's weighty and it's powerful and it will change us. 07:30.000 --> 07:32.440 It will make covenant with our God. 07:33.720 --> 07:36.580 Dad is what I feel God's asking of us 07:37.500 --> 07:39.120 and it's ours to obey. 07:39.780 --> 07:41.060 It's ours to obey. 07:57.440 --> 07:58.360 Good morning. 08:00.380 --> 08:02.960 I agree every word of that. That's awesome. 08:05.020 --> 08:08.080 The Lord's been telling me since the beginning of this 08:08.080 --> 08:10.480 to keep moving forward that 08:12.120 --> 08:14.520 He's given us an opportunity to build 08:15.040 --> 08:17.900 and He will fill it. It was one of the prophecies 08:17.900 --> 08:19.400 I believe it was Pastor Vern. 08:20.280 --> 08:23.280 And I think we would be short changing ourselves 08:23.280 --> 08:25.460 to start questioning that 08:25.460 --> 08:29.560 because it wasn't just a matter of just filling a small building. 08:30.480 --> 08:33.180 It's a matter of whatever we build, He would fill it. 08:34.000 --> 08:36.860 And that really resonated in my heart as far as 08:36.860 --> 08:41.020 we're doing this thing and God says He would fill it. 08:42.060 --> 08:46.740 And so with that, sometimes it's hard to understand for me 08:47.800 --> 08:51.100 and maybe you too, sometimes it seems crazy 08:51.100 --> 08:54.200 but like Pastor just said too, that's how God works. 08:54.640 --> 08:56.260 I mean, a lot of times it doesn't agree 08:56.260 --> 08:57.520 with what the world is doing. 08:58.160 --> 09:00.740 It doesn't agree with our minds and our thinking. 09:01.500 --> 09:03.840 But that's where it takes the faith 09:03.840 --> 09:05.840 and the trust to step out and do it 09:06.720 --> 09:08.580 and to be obedient with it. 09:09.740 --> 09:12.340 When I take time and I enter in with the Lord 09:12.340 --> 09:15.320 in quiet time and so on, 09:16.540 --> 09:19.700 sometimes I feel like, well, let me back up, 09:19.840 --> 09:23.480 sometimes when I'm not doing that at the moment 09:23.480 --> 09:26.380 I can start rationalizing my head 09:26.380 --> 09:29.400 and that's when it seems crazy and that's when it seems weird 09:29.400 --> 09:33.500 but when I take the time and you get before the Lord 09:33.500 --> 09:37.140 and it gets quiet and you start hearing His heart, 09:37.140 --> 09:38.980 man, there's an doubt. 09:40.260 --> 09:41.920 You know, it all comes clear 09:42.700 --> 09:44.780 that we're not just doing this 09:44.780 --> 09:47.960 so that we can say we have a big building 09:47.960 --> 09:49.440 or we go to this big church 09:49.440 --> 09:53.100 or we're doing this for future generations. 09:54.820 --> 09:57.280 This isn't something that you just 09:57.280 --> 10:00.120 think it's going to be great to have this. 10:00.560 --> 10:02.900 It's more of thank you, Lord. 10:03.020 --> 10:06.160 We have the opportunity to be used by you 10:06.160 --> 10:08.920 in a way that's going to touch the community. 10:09.160 --> 10:12.620 It's going to touch the areas of the Princeton and Cambridge 10:12.620 --> 10:14.200 and it will change everything. 10:15.080 --> 10:17.480 It will change the regions up north. 10:18.700 --> 10:21.140 We've already made a difference, you know that? 10:21.800 --> 10:23.560 And all the things that go on, 10:23.660 --> 10:24.860 maybe you're not participating 10:24.860 --> 10:27.340 but you're part of this church, you're part of the body, 10:27.500 --> 10:29.560 so that means you're part of what's going on. 10:30.600 --> 10:33.180 And when I say that, you got to start 10:34.900 --> 10:37.400 feeling that you are a part of this body. 10:37.820 --> 10:39.780 So how are you contributing to that? 10:40.760 --> 10:43.100 How are you going to make a difference in this? 10:43.360 --> 10:44.540 Because you're part of it. 10:45.620 --> 10:46.980 You know, whether it be prayer, 10:47.120 --> 10:48.200 whether it be what you're doing, 10:48.560 --> 10:50.860 whether you're out there doing things for it, 10:51.000 --> 10:53.080 laboring, it doesn't matter. 10:53.200 --> 10:54.900 You're part of the body, so therefore 10:54.900 --> 10:57.300 be a part of the body in this whole thing. 10:58.060 --> 11:00.180 Don't think you're just mediocre 11:00.180 --> 11:02.920 because you can only give a little bit 11:02.920 --> 11:05.720 or do this or, you know, 11:05.780 --> 11:07.840 you're out on the outskirts, but you're praying. 11:08.160 --> 11:09.260 You're all part of it. 11:12.540 --> 11:14.140 So enter into is anointing 11:14.140 --> 11:16.140 when you start feeling the doubts 11:16.140 --> 11:17.080 when you're thinking it. 11:17.360 --> 11:18.780 Enter in and take time to hear 11:18.780 --> 11:20.520 what God's wanting to do in your heart. 11:22.740 --> 11:24.300 Corey Tenboom wrote this 11:24.300 --> 11:25.520 and I thought it was really good. 11:26.540 --> 11:28.420 The wonderful thing about praying 11:28.420 --> 11:30.460 is you leave a world where you're not 11:30.460 --> 11:32.320 able to do something 11:32.320 --> 11:35.100 and you enter into God's realm 11:35.100 --> 11:37.280 where everything is possible. 11:38.260 --> 11:40.240 He specializes in the impossible. 11:41.240 --> 11:42.700 Nothing is too great 11:42.700 --> 11:44.620 for his almighty power. 11:45.820 --> 11:47.680 And I thought that was awesome. 11:48.460 --> 11:50.260 I mean, she had been through so much 11:50.260 --> 11:52.540 and yet still had that faith 11:52.540 --> 11:53.600 to put that out there. 11:55.220 --> 11:56.420 Matthew 1926. 11:56.420 --> 11:58.980 Jesus looked at them and said, 11:59.380 --> 12:00.960 with man this is impossible, 12:01.600 --> 12:03.700 but with God all things are possible. 12:04.920 --> 12:06.720 The key is with God. 12:16.700 --> 12:18.360 So when I think of the building 12:18.360 --> 12:20.160 and the project, 12:20.780 --> 12:22.340 the thing that comes to me 12:22.340 --> 12:25.480 first is always the fleshly 12:25.480 --> 12:26.980 three million dollars. 12:27.740 --> 12:27.920 Wow. 12:29.000 --> 12:30.880 And that's only the first phase. 12:32.000 --> 12:34.200 And God has been reminding me 12:34.200 --> 12:36.160 specifically of David. 12:36.400 --> 12:38.400 I think Dean posted some stuff 12:38.400 --> 12:38.920 about David. 12:39.060 --> 12:42.660 David contributed 100 metric tons 12:42.660 --> 12:44.940 of gold personally to the temple. 12:45.800 --> 12:48.200 But the people contributed 12:49.000 --> 12:50.420 130 metric tons. 12:51.540 --> 12:53.580 That every building 12:54.200 --> 12:55.840 is built by bricks. 12:56.460 --> 12:58.200 It's not just one big edifice 12:58.200 --> 13:00.480 that's stamped down. 13:00.720 --> 13:02.800 God doesn't build things. 13:02.800 --> 13:04.020 He doesn't build churches 13:04.820 --> 13:05.960 on one person. 13:06.260 --> 13:08.060 He builds churches and buildings, 13:08.240 --> 13:10.140 a brick at a time, one piece at a time. 13:11.080 --> 13:12.040 And so God's been 13:13.580 --> 13:15.200 helping me shift my focus 13:15.200 --> 13:16.420 from where are we going to get 13:16.420 --> 13:17.960 that brick and that brick 13:17.960 --> 13:20.780 and that brick to 13:22.660 --> 13:23.980 where is this going 13:25.580 --> 13:27.040 once we all work together, 13:27.180 --> 13:28.360 once everybody contributes, 13:28.480 --> 13:30.260 once we get this and God starts moving 13:30.260 --> 13:32.920 and building foundation on foundation 13:32.920 --> 13:34.640 and layer upon layer upon layer 13:35.260 --> 13:38.280 is this is going to be 13:38.280 --> 13:40.420 a landing pad where God 13:40.420 --> 13:42.780 can reach Minnesota 13:42.780 --> 13:44.540 and this country 13:45.160 --> 13:47.180 and reach out of Minnesota 13:47.180 --> 13:48.000 to the world. 13:48.700 --> 13:50.900 This is a church that's not built 13:50.900 --> 13:52.880 because we wanted a big building 13:52.880 --> 13:53.800 with our name on it. 13:54.260 --> 13:56.680 This is a church that is 13:57.260 --> 13:57.800 necessary 13:59.280 --> 14:00.520 to provide 14:00.520 --> 14:01.760 the resources 14:01.760 --> 14:04.120 and the starting point 14:04.120 --> 14:06.440 for a fire that's going to burn 14:06.440 --> 14:08.020 through this entire 14:08.530 --> 14:10.640 state, country, and world. 14:11.520 --> 14:13.480 And if we end up 14:13.480 --> 14:14.420 with the big names 14:14.420 --> 14:17.040 of the big revivals of the past 14:17.040 --> 14:18.920 and all the names that we all know, 14:19.700 --> 14:20.060 fine. 14:21.420 --> 14:23.220 But that's not the point. 14:23.520 --> 14:24.740 The point is 14:24.740 --> 14:27.440 we do what God has asked us to do 14:27.440 --> 14:29.020 one at a time, 14:29.320 --> 14:31.160 a little bit at a time, $100 here, 14:31.340 --> 14:33.720 $50 there, and pretty soon 14:33.720 --> 14:35.060 we're going to have a building 14:35.060 --> 14:37.380 that has nothing to do 14:37.380 --> 14:38.140 with the cost. 14:38.680 --> 14:40.580 It's everything to do with the benefits 14:40.580 --> 14:42.720 of what God's going to use it for 14:43.460 --> 14:45.040 our little effort here. 14:45.680 --> 14:47.480 And God's going to magnify that 14:47.480 --> 14:48.980 and multiply it 14:48.980 --> 14:50.820 and save souls 14:50.820 --> 14:53.460 and rescue people and deliver people. 14:53.860 --> 14:55.660 And that's really what it's all about. 14:55.660 --> 14:57.280 The rest of it is just 14:58.060 --> 14:59.120 the mechanics 14:59.120 --> 15:00.760 of how you have to build a building. 15:01.400 --> 15:01.980 But 15:03.160 --> 15:05.320 what is being established isn't just 15:05.320 --> 15:06.220 the physical building. 15:06.740 --> 15:08.920 It's the movement of God 15:09.660 --> 15:10.620 that we can 15:10.620 --> 15:13.560 help leverage through this world. 15:17.100 --> 15:18.020 Are you up next? 15:25.210 --> 15:26.930 I keep coming back to 15:26.930 --> 15:29.250 a couple things. One is 15:29.250 --> 15:30.210 if you go back 15:30.210 --> 15:31.410 and look at 15:32.030 --> 15:34.330 all the prophecies, even back to the modular, 15:34.530 --> 15:36.310 there's one core theme that has been 15:36.310 --> 15:38.550 kind of continues to come 15:38.550 --> 15:39.930 and that's that's for the generations. 15:40.570 --> 15:42.490 It's always for the generations. 15:43.190 --> 15:44.310 And we can sit here 15:44.310 --> 15:45.630 and say, well, 15:46.110 --> 15:48.490 we got 180-ish people, whatever it is, 15:48.630 --> 15:49.750 that's a pretty big influence. 15:50.090 --> 15:52.550 But the older we get, 15:53.030 --> 15:53.990 the wider that gets. 15:54.130 --> 15:55.070 Look at Abraham, 15:56.570 --> 15:57.750 Isaac, and that story. 15:57.750 --> 15:59.890 The influence that continues to grow 15:59.890 --> 16:01.230 as the obedience come is there. 16:01.930 --> 16:03.110 So that's a theme that stood out. 16:03.230 --> 16:04.910 But then the phrase, again, 16:05.030 --> 16:06.910 going back to what God has already told us 16:06.910 --> 16:07.810 back from the beginning, 16:08.530 --> 16:10.450 because I wasn't here at the beginning, 16:10.810 --> 16:12.590 but 2008, so four years 16:13.690 --> 16:15.670 after the church started is when we started coming here. 16:15.830 --> 16:16.530 So 18 years. 16:17.890 --> 16:18.950 And it seems like 16:18.950 --> 16:20.630 every year there's a period, 16:20.890 --> 16:23.190 and even from the beginning of when the building has started, 16:23.630 --> 16:25.510 the phrase that keeps coming to me is 16:25.510 --> 16:27.050 where am I going to put the babies? 16:27.790 --> 16:29.410 Like that were just 16:30.130 --> 16:31.810 dwells in my heart, just burns in my heart. 16:31.970 --> 16:33.810 So I come back and look at 16:33.810 --> 16:35.010 what has the Lord told us. 16:35.190 --> 16:37.390 And then other than that, up until this point, 16:37.730 --> 16:39.630 two weeks ago, three weeks ago 16:39.630 --> 16:40.910 we had the board meeting on this topic. 16:41.490 --> 16:43.110 It's just been Lord reminding me of that, 16:43.210 --> 16:44.010 reminding me of that. Nothing 16:45.170 --> 16:46.030 revelatory, if you will. 16:46.670 --> 16:49.530 And then during the board meeting 16:49.530 --> 16:51.830 when we were talking about what do we do with next steps 16:51.830 --> 16:53.190 when we got some of the updated numbers, 16:54.110 --> 16:55.750 I felt the Lord drop something in my heart. 16:55.750 --> 16:57.190 And I wasn't sure it was him, and I told 16:57.190 --> 16:59.350 one person about it, 16:59.410 --> 17:01.430 but I didn't tell Pastor Vernon Mary about it. 17:01.870 --> 17:03.350 And I felt the Lord say, 17:03.410 --> 17:04.650 like, this is your Isaac moment. 17:04.770 --> 17:05.950 I'm like, well, let me look that up. 17:06.110 --> 17:07.450 And I thought I understood a little bit. 17:07.930 --> 17:09.250 And then what happened last Sunday 17:09.770 --> 17:11.550 with Pastor Mary just talked about there? 17:11.630 --> 17:14.590 I'm like, oh. And then it just started to click. 17:14.810 --> 17:16.550 Like, we look at it as 17:17.110 --> 17:18.770 we're giving up our 17:19.330 --> 17:20.730 Isaac, our comforts of 17:21.410 --> 17:22.410 I know everybody. 17:22.690 --> 17:24.910 I can go text Pastor. I can call that. 17:25.030 --> 17:27.210 And I'd be lying, like, if all the 17:27.210 --> 17:28.630 all the natural stuff 17:28.630 --> 17:30.730 isn't settled in me, where I'm like, oh my goodness 17:30.730 --> 17:32.510 we're going to have 800 people and 17:32.510 --> 17:34.130 I'm never going to be da-da-da. 17:34.270 --> 17:36.450 Like, I'd be lying if that's settled in me in the natural 17:36.450 --> 17:38.810 because that's daunting. That's a lot of work. 17:39.430 --> 17:40.450 But at the end of the day 17:41.170 --> 17:42.530 you've heard everybody else say, like, 17:42.590 --> 17:44.770 are we being obedient? Are we doing what we said? 17:45.570 --> 17:46.670 And if we focus on 17:46.670 --> 17:47.970 what God's calling us to do, then 17:47.970 --> 17:49.590 we either miss God then as 17:49.590 --> 17:50.730 pastors like to say 17:51.310 --> 17:53.690 on what we're supposed to be doing, or we're missing it now. 17:53.890 --> 17:55.230 We can't get to the point of 17:55.230 --> 17:57.390 we're a regional center, we're for the generations 17:57.390 --> 17:59.970 and it's sitting in front of us, and we back up. 18:02.250 --> 18:03.290 That's where I'm at. 18:03.630 --> 18:06.350 I wanted 18:13.820 --> 18:15.980 to just share in one thing, but then the Lord 18:15.980 --> 18:17.980 brought something to my mind as they were talking. 18:18.780 --> 18:19.340 We have 18:20.020 --> 18:22.100 had a summer fest. He always gives us 18:22.100 --> 18:23.340 practice things, right? 18:24.240 --> 18:25.900 And we had a summer fest 18:25.900 --> 18:28.080 was the last one we had that 18:28.080 --> 18:30.000 was more regional than any others 18:30.000 --> 18:32.280 and so many people couldn't make it 18:32.280 --> 18:34.360 and they weren't sure if it hit 18:34.360 --> 18:36.360 a thousand or between eight hundred 18:36.360 --> 18:38.240 and a thousand on that three 18:38.240 --> 18:39.820 day weekend on our property. 18:40.800 --> 18:42.020 So what we're 18:42.020 --> 18:44.060 building, I 18:44.060 --> 18:46.100 have the opposite feeling. It's kind of like 18:46.100 --> 18:47.820 I hope this isn't too small. 18:48.480 --> 18:50.200 Like we have to max it out. We have 18:50.200 --> 18:52.300 to have that upstairs because 18:52.300 --> 18:54.140 I had invited people 18:54.140 --> 18:56.120 were asking me where did all these people come 18:56.120 --> 18:58.020 from? They're from the region and 18:58.020 --> 18:59.660 what was prophesied is they 19:00.000 --> 19:01.160 will come from far near 19:02.320 --> 19:03.980 and they'll come through the corridor 19:03.980 --> 19:05.960 as a victory and we will go to them. 19:06.340 --> 19:08.100 Well, if we stop going to them, they'll stop 19:08.100 --> 19:10.180 meeting us, right? But that's not going to happen. 19:10.900 --> 19:11.940 We've already met 19:11.940 --> 19:14.080 more people and 19:14.640 --> 19:16.360 there's something to that 19:16.360 --> 19:18.460 when they come down here. This is 19:18.460 --> 19:20.360 a regional center. This is not 19:20.360 --> 19:22.480 a church. We have church 19:22.480 --> 19:23.860 in the regional center. 19:24.740 --> 19:26.400 So we have to have that right in our 19:26.400 --> 19:28.380 minds. And so we're going to 19:28.380 --> 19:30.540 affect the region and the region is going to show up here. 19:31.260 --> 19:32.360 I'm hoping we're so packed 19:32.360 --> 19:34.400 out for open heavens with 19:34.400 --> 19:36.460 the region showing up, the people that we've 19:36.460 --> 19:38.300 been ministering to, that 19:38.300 --> 19:39.800 it's going to be hard to fit, right? 19:40.400 --> 19:42.140 So I'm not going to go through and 19:42.140 --> 19:44.420 preach anything, but I just wanted to read how it says 19:44.420 --> 19:45.820 it in Genesis 22. 19:46.480 --> 19:47.840 Remember I said last 19:47.840 --> 19:49.600 week and I didn't have a 19:49.600 --> 19:51.460 I still don't have a full revelation 19:51.460 --> 19:53.800 on all this, where he had 19:53.800 --> 19:55.320 to settle some things with a 19:55.320 --> 19:57.500 bemalek, which a bemalek just means a king 19:57.500 --> 19:59.320 or a ruler. That means 19:59.320 --> 20:01.820 out in the land, he had to settle 20:01.820 --> 20:03.740 some things. We've been working on 20:03.740 --> 20:05.740 settling things in our heart. That'll never 20:05.740 --> 20:07.260 stop. But 20:07.700 --> 20:09.480 that all took place before 20:09.480 --> 20:11.780 Abraham, excuse me, went up 20:11.780 --> 20:13.840 the mountain, which is the high ground. 20:13.840 --> 20:16.060 And then it says after he had all 20:16.060 --> 20:18.180 that settled, the tamarisk 20:18.180 --> 20:20.140 tree was planted. That's a sign 20:20.140 --> 20:21.640 of hope and new beginnings. 20:22.100 --> 20:23.840 I believe this is where we're at. 20:24.160 --> 20:25.760 And we're headed up the mountain 20:25.760 --> 20:27.880 and we have a decision to make. 20:28.040 --> 20:29.820 And right at that point, when he's 20:29.820 --> 20:31.960 tested our heart, now after these things 20:31.960 --> 20:33.880 God tested the faith and 20:33.880 --> 20:35.500 commitment of Abraham. 20:36.400 --> 20:37.900 The faith and commitment. And 20:37.900 --> 20:39.280 that's when he answered the Lord, 20:39.780 --> 20:41.980 here I am, what you heard last Sunday 20:41.980 --> 20:43.960 means the all of me is here. 20:47.040 --> 20:48.080 That's how... 20:48.080 --> 20:49.260 that's what we're deciding 20:49.940 --> 20:51.780 today is the all of me. 20:51.840 --> 20:53.640 We can't sort of decide something, kind of 20:53.640 --> 20:55.820 decide something. It is 20:55.820 --> 20:57.860 we say, here we are. 20:58.100 --> 20:59.800 And the I am is the 20:59.800 --> 21:01.860 all of me, but it's also the whole 21:01.860 --> 21:04.020 purpose of why we're here to begin 21:04.020 --> 21:05.900 with individually and 21:05.900 --> 21:07.620 what he's called this church to. 21:08.100 --> 21:09.900 So I'm all for it. We're in it 21:09.900 --> 21:10.480 to win it. 21:17.100 --> 21:18.720 In the famous words of 21:18.720 --> 21:19.920 Pastor Verne, 21:20.560 --> 21:22.600 there's a couple three things that the Lord has been 21:22.600 --> 21:23.780 putting in my heart. 21:27.640 --> 21:29.020 They're honestly, there is 21:29.020 --> 21:29.820 there's a lot 21:30.660 --> 21:32.520 that's in me that I've been 21:32.520 --> 21:34.240 tracking that the Lord has been speaking. 21:35.600 --> 21:37.000 And I told Pastor, I said 21:37.000 --> 21:38.600 there's a few things that's rattling around 21:38.600 --> 21:39.820 in me, couple three things. 21:40.680 --> 21:42.800 But here is where I want 21:42.800 --> 21:45.020 us, and this is maybe slightly 21:45.700 --> 21:46.840 different than what the other 21:46.840 --> 21:48.860 board members have said, but this is what I want 21:48.860 --> 21:50.740 us to kind of 21:50.740 --> 21:52.360 pay attention to is 21:53.400 --> 21:54.880 the key here is 21:54.880 --> 21:56.760 if we heard God.

I've learned this 23:30.200 --> 23:31.520 earlier in my ministry. 23:32.260 --> 23:34.220 If the vision that God 23:34.220 --> 23:36.420 has given you doesn't 23:36.420 --> 23:37.020 scare 23:37.740 --> 23:39.560 you, it's not worth 23:40.220 --> 23:40.960 coming under. 23:41.940 --> 23:44.140 Let me say that again. Let me say that again. 23:45.420 --> 23:46.860 If the vision 23:47.540 --> 23:49.920 that God has given 23:49.920 --> 23:51.960 you does not 23:51.960 --> 23:54.020 scare you, it's not worth 23:54.020 --> 23:54.560 coming under. 23:56.720 --> 23:58.200 I'm going to say it one more time 23:58.200 --> 23:59.300 so it settles in your hearts. 23:59.840 --> 24:02.100 If the vision that God has 24:02.100 --> 24:04.540 given does not 24:04.540 --> 24:06.420 scare you, it's 24:06.420 --> 24:08.460 not worth coming under or developing. 24:19.370 --> 24:20.150 All right. 24:21.150 --> 24:22.490 So there's the 24:23.050 --> 24:25.070 the main leadership weighing in 24:25.070 --> 24:25.850 on this. 24:26.800 --> 24:29.170 I'll weigh in real briefly. I did a little bit 24:29.170 --> 24:30.930 last Sunday. I believe we've already 24:30.930 --> 24:33.030 heard what we're supposed to do 24:33.030 --> 24:34.490 and they kind of all said the same thing. 24:35.010 --> 24:36.770 I believe we've already heard 24:36.770 --> 24:39.330 there's... I went through this morning 24:39.330 --> 24:41.530 just... I thought, well, I'm going to just 24:41.530 --> 24:42.190 number them. 24:42.990 --> 24:45.330 And of the things I've written down 24:45.330 --> 24:47.270 that he said to me and he said more 24:47.270 --> 24:48.850 but of the things I've written down 24:49.510 --> 24:51.690 I have between 30 and 35 24:51.690 --> 24:53.370 different times he's spoken to me 24:53.370 --> 24:54.330 about the building. 24:55.650 --> 24:57.290 So either I am 24:58.330 --> 24:59.450 really, really 24:59.450 --> 25:00.010 deceived 25:01.950 --> 25:02.510 or 25:03.430 --> 25:04.910 we're supposed to do that building. 25:06.210 --> 25:07.770 And it's not just me, 25:07.770 --> 25:09.330 it's the board members. I say, 25:09.410 --> 25:11.850 hey, you guys got to 25:11.850 --> 25:12.090 hear. 25:13.450 --> 25:15.750 The last thing I want is 25:16.690 --> 25:17.990 when we get into it 25:17.990 --> 25:19.610 well, this was Pastor Verne's idea. 25:20.270 --> 25:20.830 I can't 25:21.470 --> 25:23.930 know. This wasn't my idea. 25:24.630 --> 25:25.810 I didn't want anything to do 25:25.810 --> 25:26.210 with this. 25:27.290 --> 25:29.290 I wanted to put up an office. That was 25:29.290 --> 25:29.830 my idea. 25:30.750 --> 25:32.810 But this was not my idea. 25:35.050 --> 25:35.790 And it's not 25:35.790 --> 25:36.790 the board members idea. 25:38.590 --> 25:39.670 I don't believe 25:39.670 --> 25:41.990 it's congregation's idea. This is God's idea. 25:43.290 --> 25:43.870 And 25:43.870 --> 25:45.810 we need to hear what he has to 25:45.810 --> 25:46.530 say on it. 25:47.710 --> 25:49.690 And either we're all really 25:49.690 --> 25:51.190 missing God in the leadership 25:52.110 --> 25:52.690 Brad, 25:53.430 --> 25:55.430 Brady missed God, Calvin and Brian 25:55.430 --> 25:56.270 missed God. 25:57.540 --> 25:59.290 You go down the list. I mean these 25:59.290 --> 26:01.490 people have all missed God. Or 26:01.490 --> 26:02.770 God saying 26:03.510 --> 26:04.650 just obey me and 26:04.650 --> 26:05.150 step out. 26:06.730 --> 26:08.450 And step out in faith. 26:09.830 --> 26:10.570 So I 26:10.570 --> 26:13.010 like I said, I've written 30-35 things 26:13.010 --> 26:14.670 down between 30 and 35 26:15.890 --> 26:16.790 that are 26:16.790 --> 26:18.490 directly applied. And that does not 26:18.490 --> 26:20.810 include what he told us about 26:20.810 --> 26:22.950 the future with the Josephs 26:22.950 --> 26:24.490 anointing when we were in Colorado, 26:24.770 --> 26:25.610 Manasseh and Ephraim. 26:26.750 --> 26:28.410 Manasseh has come. Ephraim we're 26:28.410 --> 26:30.330 waiting on. I believe it's 26:30.330 --> 26:32.350 tied to this building. And 26:32.350 --> 26:33.150 he also 26:34.090 --> 26:36.170 early in the church back there, he 26:36.170 --> 26:38.050 I didn't realize it at the time, but 26:38.050 --> 26:40.210 now I know. He gave me 26:40.210 --> 26:42.450 a dream that laid out the entire 26:42.450 --> 26:43.870 layout of 26:43.870 --> 26:44.910 the church. 26:46.050 --> 26:47.350 And we are now 26:48.330 --> 26:48.930 at 26:50.290 --> 26:52.170 the point of deciding 26:52.170 --> 26:53.870 are we going to do level 26:54.650 --> 26:55.250 7. 26:56.490 --> 26:58.090 And I'd have to go back and 26:58.090 --> 26:59.770 review all that, but 27:00.430 --> 27:01.850 level 7 is 27:01.850 --> 27:03.470 the superimposed over 27:04.130 --> 27:06.070 that just covers everything 27:06.070 --> 27:08.090 in the in the process of where 27:08.090 --> 27:10.110 he's taking us. So my 27:10.110 --> 27:12.070 weighing in is, is I 27:12.070 --> 27:13.650 don't, if you listen to the 27:13.650 --> 27:16.290 podcast, oh, it's going to come. We recorded 27:16.290 --> 27:16.870 it on 27:18.090 --> 27:19.530 Wednesday, I believe. 27:20.330 --> 27:21.990 No, it played on Tuesday. I think it 27:21.990 --> 27:22.870 played on Tuesday. 27:23.590 --> 27:25.930 Where we went to Ephesians 4, Tuesday 27:25.930 --> 27:27.810 or Thursday, went to Ephesians 4, and 27:27.810 --> 27:29.870 Paul said, I'm a prisoner of the Lord. 27:31.150 --> 27:31.950 And then went on 27:31.950 --> 27:33.790 and talked about what that looks 27:33.790 --> 27:34.090 like. 27:35.730 --> 27:37.050 That is a mental attitude. 27:38.430 --> 27:39.530 It's a soul attitude. 27:40.490 --> 27:41.950 And most of the time, the thing that gets 27:41.950 --> 27:43.710 in the way is not our spirit, it's our soul. 27:44.050 --> 27:45.510 It's our head, it's our mind, our will, 27:45.650 --> 27:48.110 emotion gets in the way. And Paul's 27:48.110 --> 27:49.810 soul attitude was, when God asked 27:49.810 --> 27:51.570 me to do something, I don't have a choice. I'm a 27:51.570 --> 27:51.770 prisoner. 27:54.550 --> 27:55.410 There's no choice. 27:55.870 --> 27:56.990 I mean, it's not like, well, let's 27:56.990 --> 27:58.470 debate whether we're going to obey or not. 27:58.610 --> 28:00.250 We can't. 28:00.250 --> 28:02.290 I mean, we can't choose to disobey. 28:03.150 --> 28:04.710 So the question is, did we hear 28:04.710 --> 28:05.090 them or not? 28:06.110 --> 28:07.570 Reducing the size of the building, 28:08.070 --> 28:09.950 human nature tends to reduce 28:09.950 --> 28:11.710 the challenge down to where we can 28:11.710 --> 28:12.450 understand it. 28:14.050 --> 28:15.690 And once we can understand it, then 28:15.690 --> 28:17.190 we can believe for it, which is 28:17.190 --> 28:19.610 actually walking by sight, not by faith. 28:19.610 --> 28:21.330 Why can see that happening? You ever hear 28:21.330 --> 28:23.630 that phrase? Why can see that 28:23.630 --> 28:25.450 happening? See, that's walking by sight, not by 28:25.450 --> 28:27.690 faith. Once you can see it, 28:28.430 --> 28:29.970 now we've reduced it down 28:29.970 --> 28:32.010 to the point of, yeah, 28:32.130 --> 28:33.710 we can make that happen, so now it's 28:33.710 --> 28:34.370 all about us. 28:35.330 --> 28:37.350 Well, we're in a position that's like, 28:37.430 --> 28:39.990 dear Jesus, not only 28:39.990 --> 28:41.090 can I not see this, 28:43.130 --> 28:43.570 I'm... 28:43.570 --> 28:45.650 this is big for me. 28:45.910 --> 28:47.450 It might not be for somebody else, but 28:47.450 --> 28:48.290 for me, this is big. 28:50.690 --> 28:51.090 But 28:51.090 --> 28:53.490 I think the reducing 28:53.490 --> 28:55.390 it down can be tied to fear, can be tied 28:55.390 --> 28:57.430 to pride, can be tied to what if this 28:57.430 --> 28:59.770 makes us look bad, what if it fails, 28:59.970 --> 29:00.610 what if whatever. 29:01.410 --> 29:03.270 Well, if God told us to do it, then all those 29:03.270 --> 29:04.090 questions are answered. 29:05.610 --> 29:06.010 So, 29:07.330 --> 29:09.290 and I agree with Mary, I don't think 29:09.290 --> 29:11.310 we can reduce this down. In fact, 29:11.530 --> 29:11.970 the last 29:13.250 --> 29:15.150 outside piece of information we got 29:15.150 --> 29:16.350 didn't come to me, it came to Mary. 29:17.510 --> 29:18.790 She was talking with 29:18.790 --> 29:21.230 Calvin, and he said I had 29:21.230 --> 29:22.630 was it a dream or a vision? 29:23.590 --> 29:24.730 Vision, he said I had, 29:24.850 --> 29:27.010 we'll go with vision then. I had a vision 29:27.010 --> 29:29.150 and there was a couple things in it he once talked 29:29.150 --> 29:30.970 to us about, but he brought something up to her. 29:31.490 --> 29:32.490 He said, are you guys building? 29:33.210 --> 29:35.030 He said, because I was standing in 29:35.030 --> 29:37.210 your church and this had to be 29:37.210 --> 29:38.850 between 700 and 1,000 29:38.850 --> 29:39.590 seat sanctuary. 29:41.210 --> 29:43.050 Are you building? Are you 29:43.050 --> 29:43.670 building? What are you doing? 29:45.670 --> 29:47.110 Well, it's like, well, there we go 29:47.110 --> 29:49.030 again, outside confirmation 29:49.030 --> 29:51.030 from someone who has no dog 29:51.030 --> 29:52.210 in the fight whatsoever. 29:53.650 --> 29:55.130 So, to me it would be 29:55.130 --> 29:56.750 I think it's to the point 29:56.750 --> 29:57.470 of 30:00.790 --> 30:02.690 it would be disobedience in me. 30:03.970 --> 30:04.730 If at this 30:04.730 --> 30:06.710 point we shrink 30:06.710 --> 30:08.630 back because of fear or 30:08.630 --> 30:10.730 whatever that would 30:10.730 --> 30:11.030 be, 30:12.490 --> 30:13.670 in my heart 30:13.670 --> 30:15.010 that would be disobedience. 30:16.650 --> 30:17.130 Economy 30:17.130 --> 30:17.550 fears. 30:21.390 --> 30:22.990 I can say very 30:22.990 --> 30:23.770 confidently 30:25.190 --> 30:26.810 because this is how I've lived my life. 30:27.510 --> 30:29.030 You know, we've heard that the economy 30:29.030 --> 30:30.870 is going to break since the early 70s. 30:32.730 --> 30:33.210 And 30:33.210 --> 30:35.050 my parents bought stuff and stocked up 30:35.050 --> 30:36.850 on stuff because the economy was 30:36.850 --> 30:38.950 the dollar was going to die. Remember the 30:38.950 --> 30:40.750 day the dollar dies and that whole 30:40.750 --> 30:42.690 thing? This is over 30:42.690 --> 30:44.690 50 years ago. We've been 30:44.690 --> 30:45.730 waiting for this to break. 30:48.110 --> 30:48.670 Here's 30:48.670 --> 30:50.870 my gut level feeling because since then 30:50.870 --> 30:52.610 I've been living under 30:52.610 --> 30:54.750 the thought of 30:54.750 --> 30:56.310 well, what if the economy falls apart 30:56.310 --> 30:58.150 since the early 70s? 30:59.110 --> 31:01.010 Every major decision, what if the economy 31:01.010 --> 31:02.730 falls apart? Maybe we shouldn't buy our 31:02.730 --> 31:04.690 first house because what if the economy falls 31:04.690 --> 31:05.550 apart and we lose it? 31:06.710 --> 31:08.770 Thank God, bought that first house. 31:10.950 --> 31:11.550 So 31:11.550 --> 31:12.850 when it comes to the economy 31:12.850 --> 31:14.890 I think I can say this out of 31:14.890 --> 31:16.970 my experience very confidently 31:17.690 --> 31:18.770 the economy 31:18.770 --> 31:21.090 is not going to fall apart anytime soon 31:21.770 --> 31:22.870 because God would 31:22.870 --> 31:24.930 not ask us to stretch into something 31:24.930 --> 31:26.870 like this that's impossible to 31:26.870 --> 31:28.950 finish because the economy 31:28.950 --> 31:29.390 broke. 31:30.850 --> 31:32.810 I mean, that's just not how he 31:32.810 --> 31:34.730 operates. He doesn't set us up 31:34.730 --> 31:36.690 for failure. He sets 31:36.690 --> 31:38.710 us up for success. And I know 31:38.710 --> 31:40.450 there's all kinds of things going on in the world. 31:40.730 --> 31:42.230 Now, will things change? Absolutely. 31:42.590 --> 31:44.530 Will we go to the digital system? Absolutely. 31:45.710 --> 31:46.850 Will there be 31:46.850 --> 31:48.730 shutters through the economy? 31:48.950 --> 31:49.370 Absolutely. 31:51.230 --> 31:52.870 Is it going to crash and burn 31:52.870 --> 31:54.790 and we're all left 31:54.790 --> 31:55.550 with zip? 31:57.470 --> 31:58.770 I don't know if that's 31:58.770 --> 31:59.450 ever going to happen. 32:01.830 --> 32:02.810 You know, I used to 32:02.810 --> 32:03.810 believe that's going to happen 32:03.810 --> 32:06.210 and the older I get 32:06.210 --> 32:07.950 the more there's a feeling inside 32:07.950 --> 32:09.910 of me of I'm not sure 32:09.910 --> 32:11.150 that's ever going to happen. 32:12.350 --> 32:13.610 So let's take just a 32:13.610 --> 32:14.950 two-minute side trip here. 32:15.870 --> 32:17.750 Here's what is rattling around 32:17.750 --> 32:19.750 in me. What's 32:19.750 --> 32:20.870 starting to catch in me. 32:22.430 --> 32:23.790 One of the major 32:23.790 --> 32:25.550 enforcers of the worship 32:25.550 --> 32:27.490 of the Antichrist is 32:27.490 --> 32:28.730 to accept 32:30.330 --> 32:31.570 the one world 32:31.570 --> 32:32.310 system, 32:33.070 --> 32:34.350 monetary system 32:35.650 --> 32:37.150 that is going to be 32:37.150 --> 32:38.470 used to enforce 32:39.910 --> 32:41.670 the economy situation. 32:42.050 --> 32:43.510 The economy situation is going to 32:43.510 --> 32:44.930 use to enforce worship and 32:44.930 --> 32:46.350 allegiance for the Antichrist. 32:47.510 --> 32:49.610 If the whole 32:49.610 --> 32:50.270 thing 32:51.510 --> 32:53.030 has broken 32:53.570 --> 32:55.130 and everybody 32:55.130 --> 32:57.550 is poor and in 32:57.550 --> 32:58.050 the tank, 33:00.490 --> 33:01.450 what leverage 33:01.450 --> 33:02.550 will the Antichrist 33:02.550 --> 33:03.450 system have? 33:04.650 --> 33:06.370 Well, I'll take away from 33:06.370 --> 33:07.950 you what you have. Why don't 33:07.950 --> 33:09.550 have any things, so go ahead and take it. 33:15.950 --> 33:17.030 See, there's two lines 33:17.790 --> 33:18.950 of predictions. If you're 33:18.950 --> 33:20.550 following the people who are trying to 33:20.550 --> 33:22.470 predict where this is going, there's two lines 33:22.470 --> 33:24.450 of predictions. I was talking, who was 33:24.450 --> 33:26.370 I talking with? Maybe it was Kevin 33:26.370 --> 33:28.490 yesterday. There's two lines of predictions. 33:29.130 --> 33:30.770 One is when this whole 33:30.770 --> 33:32.770 thing shifts, everything is 33:32.770 --> 33:33.830 going to crash. We're all going to be 33:33.830 --> 33:35.010 extremely poor. 33:36.550 --> 33:38.530 Well, if we're already extremely poor 33:38.530 --> 33:40.130 and the Antichrist comes on the scene 33:40.630 --> 33:42.370 and he says, I'm going to take away from you 33:42.370 --> 33:44.490 what you have. We ain't got much, so I'm 33:44.490 --> 33:46.530 not worshiping you so that I can keep 33:46.530 --> 33:48.310 what I have, because I'm already extremely poor. 33:49.270 --> 33:50.290 See, he's got no leverage. 33:51.570 --> 33:52.530 But there is another 33:52.530 --> 33:54.990 line of thinking. The world 33:54.990 --> 33:56.630 is not 33:56.630 --> 33:58.690 just America. We're 40 trillion plus 33:58.690 --> 34:00.690 in debt now. But other 34:00.690 --> 34:02.730 countries around the world are all teetering 34:03.530 --> 34:04.510 on falling. 34:05.250 --> 34:06.670 And the other line of thinking 34:06.670 --> 34:08.650 is this, when they reset 34:09.730 --> 34:11.050 they're going to reset 34:11.050 --> 34:13.010 all the nations of the world 34:13.010 --> 34:14.850 to be prosperous. 34:16.350 --> 34:17.030 And we will 34:17.030 --> 34:18.810 all come, because it's all numbers 34:18.810 --> 34:20.810 now it's on paper, then 34:20.810 --> 34:22.590 it's going to be in the computers. It's all just 34:22.590 --> 34:24.490 numbers. I mean, 34:24.550 --> 34:26.770 there's nothing solid underneath holding 34:26.770 --> 34:27.810 any of this stuff up. 34:28.570 --> 34:30.210 It's all just numbers on a piece of paper. 34:31.110 --> 34:32.850 And we're all going 34:32.850 --> 34:34.750 to come out very well 34:34.750 --> 34:36.770 off, which agrees 34:36.770 --> 34:38.550 with the 2030 agenda 34:38.550 --> 34:41.110 if you go through the points of the 2030 agenda, 34:41.570 --> 34:42.770 that agrees with 34:42.770 --> 34:44.770 the 2030 agenda. The 2030 34:44.770 --> 34:46.530 agenda is not, will break 34:46.530 --> 34:48.990 you by destroying the economy. 34:49.170 --> 34:50.370 That is not what it says. 34:51.230 --> 34:52.250 It's the opposite. 34:53.770 --> 34:55.570 We're going to reset this 34:55.570 --> 34:57.570 so that prosperity 34:57.570 --> 34:59.010 will go through the world. 35:00.790 --> 35:01.710 That's their plan. 35:03.130 --> 35:03.710 It's all 35:03.710 --> 35:04.770 numbers on paper anyway. 35:05.550 --> 35:07.710 They've got to bring the impoverished countries 35:07.710 --> 35:08.230 up 35:09.310 --> 35:11.510 so they'll just give them a whole bunch more numbers 35:12.190 --> 35:12.670 free. 35:17.060 --> 35:18.180 I, in my 35:18.180 --> 35:20.480 gut, am beginning to lean that direction. 35:20.840 --> 35:22.500 Because remember, it was a few years back 35:22.500 --> 35:23.800 the Lord told me he said 35:23.800 --> 35:25.940 in 30 years the Dow will be 35:25.940 --> 35:27.180 at 300,000. 35:28.640 --> 35:29.800 I believed that was God. 35:32.440 --> 35:33.300 In 30, 50 years. 35:33.740 --> 35:35.320 I believe it was 50, not 30, 50 years. 35:36.140 --> 35:37.900 It'll be at 300,000. For the Dow to go 35:37.900 --> 35:39.620 to 300,000, there has to be a Dow. 35:45.850 --> 35:47.190 So I'm beginning to go 35:47.190 --> 35:48.810 toward, you know what they're going to do? 35:50.130 --> 35:51.130 They're going to give 35:51.130 --> 35:52.490 the world an artificial 35:53.150 --> 35:53.550 prosperity. 35:54.150 --> 35:56.290 And then the Antichrist will come and say 35:56.290 --> 35:58.470 and I will take that away if you don't worship me. 35:58.470 --> 36:00.650 Now he's got 36:00.650 --> 36:02.530 Christians between a rock and a hard place. 36:04.270 --> 36:04.750 Much 36:04.750 --> 36:06.350 bigger decision than 36:07.030 --> 36:08.090 I'll break you, 36:08.550 --> 36:10.530 bankrupt you, and then I'll 36:10.530 --> 36:12.510 take away everything else if you don't worship me. 36:13.370 --> 36:14.490 It's like we already 36:14.490 --> 36:14.890 took it. 36:16.430 --> 36:18.110 That doesn't carry water. The other 36:18.110 --> 36:20.470 sides, to me, it carries more water. 36:20.550 --> 36:21.970 So that's side thought come back in. 36:22.650 --> 36:24.230 God wouldn't ask us to do this 36:24.230 --> 36:25.810 if the economy is going to break soon. 36:25.810 --> 36:27.450 I don't believe it's going to break soon. 36:28.890 --> 36:29.850 It's just not in my 36:29.850 --> 36:31.670 gut. In fact, it may go the other direction. 36:31.830 --> 36:33.770 When they reset this and the whole world goes 36:33.770 --> 36:35.130 digital and this, that and the other, 36:35.670 --> 36:37.230 it may turn into a 36:38.310 --> 36:39.730 what they're trying to produce 36:39.730 --> 36:41.410 a prosperous world. 36:42.230 --> 36:44.110 Which, of course, how long will that hold on? 36:44.170 --> 36:45.970 They're propping it up on sticks 36:46.510 --> 36:46.910 and... 36:48.590 --> 36:49.870 but that may be 36:49.870 --> 36:50.430 where it goes. 36:51.970 --> 36:53.150 But to answer the question, 36:53.150 --> 36:55.470 are you afraid the economy 36:55.470 --> 36:57.130 is going to stop us from 36:57.130 --> 36:58.350 building in the middle of it? No. 36:58.630 --> 37:00.030 God wouldn't have told us to do it. 37:02.970 --> 37:03.730 I just... 37:03.730 --> 37:04.630 that's where I'm at. 37:07.150 --> 37:07.810 Last week, 37:07.950 --> 37:09.090 I said what God said to me 37:09.090 --> 37:11.030 about inheritance money or otherwise 37:11.470 --> 37:12.710 just to make that clear, 37:12.970 --> 37:14.770 that's between you and God. I'm just 37:14.770 --> 37:16.610 the carac here. I'm just the one 37:17.150 --> 37:17.830 delivering the message. 37:18.490 --> 37:20.370 That's between you and God, what you do 37:20.370 --> 37:22.310 with your inheritance money. I'm not the enforcer. 37:23.930 --> 37:24.370 Some 37:24.370 --> 37:26.630 questions have come in on that, like 401ks 37:26.630 --> 37:28.310 and property. A lot of times 37:28.310 --> 37:30.390 our biggest asset is 37:30.390 --> 37:31.710 the property we live in 37:32.390 --> 37:34.270 and God is not asking us to 37:34.270 --> 37:36.510 sell our house, live on the street, and give it to the church. 37:36.590 --> 37:37.830 That is not what he's asking. 37:39.250 --> 37:40.390 All those decisions 37:40.390 --> 37:42.430 you have to make between you and God. 37:43.410 --> 37:44.490 But there is a 37:44.490 --> 37:45.750 way that 37:47.230 --> 37:48.170 can be done 37:48.910 --> 37:50.350 put the church in your will. 37:54.750 --> 37:55.830 Do you realize 37:55.830 --> 37:57.170 the average person has never 37:57.170 --> 37:59.170 tied on the depreciation of their 37:59.170 --> 37:59.610 property? 38:01.030 --> 38:03.190 Why bought it for 10,000? It's worth 38:03.190 --> 38:04.950 a million now. And God deserves 38:04.950 --> 38:07.230 the tide on what you just 38:07.910 --> 38:08.430 increased. 38:10.530 --> 38:11.290 Most people 38:11.290 --> 38:12.710 let never even cross their mind. 38:13.870 --> 38:14.990 But yet the scripture 38:14.990 --> 38:17.230 specifically says we tied on the increase. 38:18.950 --> 38:20.190 So put it in your will. 38:20.190 --> 38:21.190 Put it in your trust. 38:22.850 --> 38:23.850 That at the end 38:23.850 --> 38:26.250 X amount goes to the church 38:26.250 --> 38:27.390 of what this thing is worth. 38:27.750 --> 38:29.010 Peel that off the top. 38:29.990 --> 38:31.810 If it's worth 10,000, we'll peel it off. 38:31.950 --> 38:33.790 If it's worth 100 million, we'll peel it off. 38:34.590 --> 38:35.790 That's tied on the 38:36.510 --> 38:36.910 increase. 38:39.190 --> 38:40.190 You don't have to 38:40.190 --> 38:41.790 necessarily pull it out right now 38:41.790 --> 38:42.650 and put it on the table. 38:44.510 --> 38:46.250 I was going to say God is going to 38:46.250 --> 38:48.150 figure this out, which is really a bad statement. 38:48.150 --> 38:50.070 God already has this figured out. 38:51.610 --> 38:52.210 He knows 38:52.210 --> 38:54.210 where this is going. So let's just 38:54.210 --> 38:54.850 follow him. 38:55.750 --> 38:57.770 Pledges, the board talked about it. I personally 38:57.770 --> 38:59.930 don't like the idea of pledges. I brought it up. 39:00.070 --> 39:01.850 The financial institutions like 39:01.850 --> 39:03.910 them, but I don't. So we're going to do 39:03.910 --> 39:05.830 what we did last time and see if we can 39:05.830 --> 39:07.990 slide that through, which is 39:07.990 --> 39:09.170 we had a sign up sheet 39:09.170 --> 39:11.870 where nobody pledged anything. It says 39:11.870 --> 39:13.750 this, we the undersigned in the agreement 39:13.750 --> 39:15.930 with enlarging our in agreement with 39:15.930 --> 39:17.930 the enlarging of the church facility, this 39:17.930 --> 39:19.830 one. We are aware of the fact 39:19.830 --> 39:21.990 the building project is estimated to cost 39:21.990 --> 39:23.770 approximately 10.5 million 39:23.770 --> 39:25.850 when it is complete. That is a turn 39:25.850 --> 39:26.610 key estimate. 39:27.410 --> 39:29.350 They do everything. We do nothing. 39:30.070 --> 39:31.910 We're going to get it down from there. 39:32.270 --> 39:33.830 For instance, this week we're putting in 39:33.830 --> 39:34.290 the lights. 39:36.470 --> 39:37.910 The estimate to get 39:37.910 --> 39:39.630 that done was between 60 and 39:39.630 --> 39:41.750 $70,000 to put in the parking 39:41.750 --> 39:42.410 lot lights. 39:43.550 --> 39:44.690 We're going to do that for 39:44.690 --> 39:46.070 a third of that, maybe less. 39:47.890 --> 39:48.810 So we're going to save 39:49.810 --> 39:50.890 $40, $50,000 39:50.890 --> 39:52.630 just that one little 39:52.630 --> 39:53.130 piece. 39:54.550 --> 39:56.330 So, you know, but that's what they 39:56.330 --> 39:58.190 estimated. So let's just go with what 39:58.190 --> 40:00.350 the general contractor said. Well, if 40:00.350 --> 40:02.090 they're going to do a turnkey operation, this 40:02.090 --> 40:04.330 what it will cost. It's going to cost us millions less. 40:05.650 --> 40:06.450 Because God's 40:06.450 --> 40:07.030 going to do that. 40:07.870 --> 40:08.990 Just the way God works. 40:10.250 --> 40:11.550 We are in agreement 40:11.550 --> 40:12.950 with this building and its phases 40:12.950 --> 40:14.990 and borrowing only what it costs to 40:14.990 --> 40:16.150 finish each phase. 40:17.070 --> 40:18.790 That phase. Our goal is 40:18.790 --> 40:21.130 and that would be... 40:21.130 --> 40:22.730 Well, let me just finish reading. Our goal 40:22.730 --> 40:24.750 is to set up the building debt free so 40:24.750 --> 40:25.710 any short-term 40:26.330 --> 40:28.630 transitional loans for each phase need 40:28.630 --> 40:30.350 to be paid off before we move 40:30.350 --> 40:32.690 to the next phase. I am 40:32.690 --> 40:34.390 also committing to support this project 40:34.760 --> 40:36.470 financially and help see it through to completion. 40:37.370 --> 40:38.450 We've got all kinds 40:38.450 --> 40:39.910 of room for people to sign here. 40:40.250 --> 40:41.930 We're going to do that and see if 40:42.290 --> 40:44.350 the banks will take that for the 40:44.350 --> 40:46.110 line of credit rather than 40:46.750 --> 40:47.270 pledges. 40:49.830 --> 40:50.890 So we have 40:50.890 --> 40:52.290 ten minutes ish. 40:53.250 --> 40:54.470 I want to hear 40:55.130 --> 40:56.770 what the Lord has told 40:56.770 --> 40:57.090 you. 40:58.010 --> 41:00.070 If the Lord has spoken to you about 41:00.070 --> 41:02.290 this project, I want to hear 41:02.290 --> 41:03.810 what he's told you. I don't want to hear 41:03.810 --> 41:05.870 your opinion. I don't want to hear 41:05.870 --> 41:07.830 your questions. Not at this point. 41:08.450 --> 41:09.830 We can talk questions 41:09.830 --> 41:11.630 and opinions and all kinds of stuff later. 41:12.210 --> 41:13.190 We only got ten minutes. 41:13.710 --> 41:15.910 I want to hear what the Lord has 41:15.910 --> 41:17.970 told you. If he hasn't told 41:17.970 --> 41:18.950 you anything, well then 41:19.750 --> 41:21.690 at that point for right now, you don't 41:21.690 --> 41:23.150 have anything to say. Later you do. 41:23.590 --> 41:25.410 We can talk about things later but right now 41:25.410 --> 41:27.370 I want to hear from the people who've heard from God. 41:28.150 --> 41:28.730 Who's first? 41:32.310 --> 41:33.610 And it has to be quick because 41:33.610 --> 41:34.590 we only got about ten minutes. 41:35.150 --> 41:35.790 That's cool. 41:37.650 --> 41:39.790 This was in a vision 41:39.790 --> 41:41.630 last week. 41:43.710 --> 41:44.230 Pastor 41:44.230 --> 41:45.370 Verne was up here speaking 41:45.970 --> 41:47.550 and all of a sudden the Lord 41:47.550 --> 41:49.250 just showed me a vision of a 41:49.250 --> 41:51.190 really wide staircase 41:51.890 --> 41:53.470 that went up to heaven. 41:53.710 --> 41:54.710 And on that staircase 41:55.710 --> 41:57.250 there were two angels 41:57.250 --> 41:59.610 that had come down the staircase 42:00.230 --> 42:01.550 and your face 42:01.550 --> 42:03.270 in that way and there was one 42:03.270 --> 42:05.690 here and one on the other side 42:05.690 --> 42:07.010 but still on the staircase. 42:08.790 --> 42:09.470 And then 42:10.910 --> 42:11.770 they had 42:11.770 --> 42:13.430 white robes with gold trim 42:13.430 --> 42:14.790 on them and 42:15.430 --> 42:17.310 they were each holding a huge 42:17.310 --> 42:19.430 bag of gold coins. 42:20.370 --> 42:21.490 Then came 42:21.490 --> 42:23.230 more angels and 42:23.230 --> 42:25.510 down the staircase and they had gold 42:25.510 --> 42:27.350 bars. And again 42:27.350 --> 42:29.210 they stood on the staircase 42:29.210 --> 42:31.190 behind Pastor Verne. 42:35.270 --> 42:37.230 I had an impression at that 42:37.230 --> 42:39.270 point too that I didn't 42:39.270 --> 42:41.050 add on here that 42:41.050 --> 42:43.210 Pastor Verne was 42:43.210 --> 42:45.070 the mouthpiece for what 42:45.070 --> 42:46.170 they wanted to do. 42:47.870 --> 42:48.490 And 42:50.050 --> 42:51.210 just then 42:51.210 --> 42:52.450 Pastor started speaking 42:52.900 --> 42:54.030 and the Lord said 42:54.030 --> 42:56.970 to pray over our congregation 42:56.970 --> 42:58.830 that our eyes and 42:58.830 --> 43:00.510 ears would be open to any 43:00.510 --> 43:02.150 area known or unknown 43:03.930 --> 43:05.330 of our lives 43:05.330 --> 43:07.350 that there is 43:07.350 --> 43:09.010 that we're blocking the blessing 43:09.010 --> 43:11.190 and abundance of God's 43:11.190 --> 43:12.930 provision for us 43:13.670 --> 43:14.390 personally 43:14.970 --> 43:15.490 individually. 43:16.370 --> 43:17.170 All right. 43:24.350 --> 43:25.430 So Wednesday 43:25.430 --> 43:27.870 I was praying, I really should have 43:27.870 --> 43:28.770 sent this to you because 43:28.770 --> 43:29.750 but anyways 43:31.030 --> 43:32.150 he brought up 43:33.590 --> 43:34.070 Manasseh 43:34.590 --> 43:35.710 Ephraim, am I saying that wrong? 43:35.710 --> 43:36.770 Manasseh and Ephraim, yeah. 43:37.550 --> 43:39.670 And he reminded me that you met 43:39.670 --> 43:41.930 because I wasn't there when that happened 43:42.470 --> 43:43.870 but then he told me that 43:44.590 --> 43:46.170 Ephraim's birth is tied to the 43:46.170 --> 43:46.550 building. 43:47.550 --> 43:49.210 So if the building isn't built 43:49.870 --> 43:51.210 then it won't be born. 43:51.390 --> 43:53.830 If we don't step in faith, Ephraim won't 43:53.830 --> 43:56.770 be born, is that what you... 43:56.770 --> 43:58.570 he brought me to Matthew 16 43:58.570 --> 44:00.230 and I read 44:00.670 --> 44:02.610 he didn't tell me a verse and I read the whole thing 44:02.610 --> 44:03.910 and then what was super highlighted. 44:04.150 --> 44:06.770 Just this part he said I will build my church 44:06.770 --> 44:08.910 you know in the gates of Hades 44:08.910 --> 44:10.710 will not prevail but it was I will build 44:10.710 --> 44:11.930 my church. Awesome. 44:14.050 --> 44:14.930 Briefly, Manasseh 44:14.930 --> 44:16.590 is to forget the toil of your youth 44:16.590 --> 44:18.490 Ephraim is to abound and super 44:18.490 --> 44:18.950 abound 44:20.770 --> 44:22.710 and I'll just tie it to what Nancy 44:22.710 --> 44:24.610 saw. They're standing there with 44:24.610 --> 44:25.430 the provision. 44:25.950 --> 44:28.190 We have to step take the step of faith 44:28.190 --> 44:29.530 or the provision is not given. 44:30.730 --> 44:31.870 That's just how that works. 44:32.550 --> 44:33.630 You're up because 44:34.110 --> 44:35.830 stretching your legs so you got something to say. 44:37.650 --> 44:38.610 You know 44:38.610 --> 44:40.090 I just have to say this that 44:40.090 --> 44:42.630 we were late comers to coming to this church 44:43.210 --> 44:44.490 and almost right 44:44.490 --> 44:46.150 from the very beginning God started 44:46.150 --> 44:48.310 showing me pictures and saying things 44:48.310 --> 44:49.670 and every one of these 44:49.670 --> 44:52.130 I would give to Pastor Vern 44:52.130 --> 44:54.150 and I'd come in and I'd say what do you think? 44:54.630 --> 44:55.170 Huh? Huh? 44:55.870 --> 44:58.110 And I have to share these 44:58.110 --> 44:59.890 because this church has grown 44:59.890 --> 45:02.350 the men have stepped up 45:02.350 --> 45:03.890 I know that there were strong men 45:03.890 --> 45:05.350 here before I know that 45:06.010 --> 45:07.630 but when we just 45:07.630 --> 45:09.190 he started his 45:10.030 --> 45:12.050 dream interpretation God showed 45:12.050 --> 45:12.590 me a 45:14.390 --> 45:15.410 wagon train 45:15.410 --> 45:17.830 and there were probably about 12 wagons 45:17.830 --> 45:19.870 and I thought well this is crazy 45:19.870 --> 45:21.850 we're sitting there he's talking about the dreams 45:21.850 --> 45:23.250 that I'm seeing a wagon train 45:23.830 --> 45:25.650 well then all of a sudden they circled 45:26.870 --> 45:28.050 and that was because 45:28.050 --> 45:29.110 there was enemy 45:30.110 --> 45:31.550 so I told him that 45:31.550 --> 45:34.070 and the Lord also had spoken this word 45:34.070 --> 45:35.450 to me which I gave to him 45:35.450 --> 45:37.370 you're going to have a test 45:37.370 --> 45:38.670 within a test 45:39.270 --> 45:41.090 I had no idea what that meant 45:41.650 --> 45:42.830 okay now we go on 45:43.810 --> 45:44.710 next thing 45:44.710 --> 45:46.050 I'm seeing 45:47.890 --> 45:54.770 When I was reading these men, each one had charge of their wagon, but they were subject to the wagon master. 45:55.750 --> 46:01.270 Then the Lord said to me about, oh, maybe a week later, I'm praying in the spirit that I'm interpreting. 46:02.110 --> 46:12.690 And this is what he said, I'm raising up men who will speak to not a mountain, but a mountain chain, a mountain range. 46:14.690 --> 46:20.310 So, you know, I'm thinking, well, that's good. I said to Ken, I wonder who that's for. So I told Pastor Verne. 46:21.930 --> 46:28.090 Then, about three years ago, he showed me the five tumblers, and you did read that one. 46:29.170 --> 46:36.850 It was the body of Christ, this church, going into a tumbler, and we were being tumbled, and rough edges were being taken off. 46:36.850 --> 46:37.750 Like a rock polisher. 46:37.750 --> 46:42.310 And it worked down to the, finally the last one. We were looking pretty good. 46:42.730 --> 46:48.410 We were kind of polished, and he said, I'm preparing a people for my plan. 46:49.510 --> 46:52.770 They have to be mature, and they have to know my word. 46:54.230 --> 47:03.330 Now, the thing is that when you started talking about eagles, I'm trying to think of the, I had the dates written down. 47:03.330 --> 47:10.790 Look how many eagles he's brought in. Look how many eagles are already here that are rising up. 47:10.870 --> 47:16.610 Now, maybe they were before. But I'll tell you what, he said this to me. 47:16.650 --> 47:21.610 He woke me up. I told you this, Verne. Tuesday night, I went to bed, and he said to me. 47:21.690 --> 47:27.170 I was settling my affairs for the day. He said, who told you to build the church? 47:27.170 --> 47:30.670 He says, whose church is this? Mine or yours? 47:31.690 --> 47:36.930 And I thought, huh, night lord. Next morning, I woke up. First question. 47:38.010 --> 47:43.550 Who, whose church is this at your building? Whose idea was this? 47:46.050 --> 47:50.510 You know, there's a word. Do you remember? Maybe you don't, Verne, when I sent this to you. 47:51.050 --> 47:55.690 Again, I was praying in the spirit, and this word came forth. You're crossing your Rubicon. 47:56.450 --> 48:01.190 I said to Ken, what's a Rubicon? He said, I think they named a car after that a few years ago. 48:03.590 --> 48:13.430 That wasn't the answer. A Rubicon is something that you commit to. You start, and there is no going back. 48:15.210 --> 48:20.770 No going back. George Washington had that going across the Delaware. 48:21.890 --> 48:26.930 Joseph had it. Word of life is about to have it. 48:27.170 --> 48:32.290 And then, remember what I said at the end of our conversation? 48:33.870 --> 48:39.550 Impossible. God says, I am possible. 48:42.590 --> 48:48.450 So this church, I love to think that I would be able to be here to see a lot of it, 48:48.450 --> 48:52.350 but Lord willing, y'all, you never know. 48:55.150 --> 49:00.310 Yeah. Yeah. You have been in preparation all this time. 49:02.270 --> 49:17.650 Last Sunday, I had a, the Lord gave me a vision of the Old Testament example of Moses and the Israelites at the river Jordan. 49:18.230 --> 49:23.290 Moses and Joshua. And they were on the east side of the river and they were going to go across. 49:23.530 --> 49:30.170 And of course, Moses then went up into the mountain. He couldn't pass over because he hit the rock twice. 49:30.390 --> 49:34.230 And I was glad Julie had mentioned that last time, that Verne has not hit the rock twice. 49:34.870 --> 49:43.990 And so this symbolic of Pastor Verne and other, and Igor as our leaders, taking us across, 49:43.990 --> 49:46.890 taking the church here across the river Jordan. 49:47.530 --> 49:52.690 And so when they went across, you know, one of the aspects, there's a lot of things, we don't have time for all of them, 49:52.990 --> 49:59.630 but one of the aspects was that they went around the Jericho six times, actually seven, 49:59.750 --> 50:03.950 but six times they went around and they said nothing. 50:05.310 --> 50:07.370 They said nothing. They were quiet. 50:08.290 --> 50:12.330 Now, I'm sure it would be very, very hard for them to do that, for us to do that. 50:12.330 --> 50:17.110 And here's the warning. Why did God have them be silent? 50:18.110 --> 50:23.230 Because of mumbling and grumbling and saying, what are we doing? 50:23.470 --> 50:28.610 How is walking around this city going to tear down those walls that are there? 50:29.350 --> 50:32.070 And they would have talked themselves out of it. 50:32.590 --> 50:37.850 They would have spoke words like Proverbs 18, 21, death and life are in the power of the tongue. 50:38.130 --> 50:40.270 They would have caused death to themselves. 50:40.950 --> 50:44.770 And so this is a warning here for us too, the same thing. 50:45.530 --> 50:52.090 During this time, be very careful with the words that we have to say as we're walking around six times. 50:52.410 --> 50:55.770 Maybe six levels we're talking about here around the church. 50:55.930 --> 51:00.590 Be very careful what you say, how you say, and who you say it to. 51:01.090 --> 51:05.110 And so that you don't pronounce or speak death to the situation. 51:05.110 --> 51:10.630 But God is able. And on the seventh one, they shouted when they went around. 51:10.970 --> 51:12.950 And that's when they had the victory. 51:15.610 --> 51:18.530 We have time for one more real quick one of someone else. 51:26.310 --> 51:26.770 Okay. 51:28.170 --> 51:31.090 I thought for sure he was going to ask us if I do a pledge. 51:31.690 --> 51:36.690 And he didn't. But I've been asking the Lord all week, you know, what's my pledge going to be? 51:36.690 --> 51:41.550 And I had a number in mind and he gave me a different number that's even less than I thought. 51:41.670 --> 51:44.830 And I go, why would you do less? This is what he told me. 51:45.710 --> 51:49.790 Stay the course. Be consistent. Stay the course. 51:50.270 --> 51:51.070 That's really good. 51:52.450 --> 51:54.990 Because this is going to be a multi-year event. 51:55.190 --> 51:59.410 Even if all the money comes in at once, it's going to take a number of years to build this. 52:00.730 --> 52:05.410 So it's not like, you know, we're going to have an emphasis gain in October for the building fund. 52:05.410 --> 52:07.410 It's not like that is the end. 52:08.610 --> 52:11.210 You know, unless we get $10 million. Well, then it's the end. 52:11.490 --> 52:13.970 You know, it's like, I'm good with that. 52:14.190 --> 52:18.330 But, you know, it's going to be ongoing year after year after year. 52:18.490 --> 52:21.550 So that is very pertinent. I believe you absolutely heard God on that one. 52:22.790 --> 52:24.350 So I just want to get a consensus. 52:24.610 --> 52:30.670 If there's more people who've heard some things, please text me, email me, whatever. 52:31.110 --> 52:34.510 I can just read them and put them on the end of this video. 52:36.050 --> 52:38.290 But I just want to get a consensus. 52:38.850 --> 52:39.890 And please be honest. 52:40.950 --> 52:42.810 Is there, because we can talk afterwards. 52:43.150 --> 52:47.390 Is there anybody who feels we absolutely were missing God? 52:47.550 --> 52:50.190 We should not do this. Anybody. 52:51.630 --> 52:52.770 Because I want to know. 52:55.030 --> 53:00.150 So everybody's in agreement that we need to pick them up, put them down and keep walking. 53:00.150 --> 53:02.050 All right. 53:03.190 --> 53:05.830 Then that's what we will do with that in mind. 53:06.330 --> 53:07.990 We're going to go into praise and worship.
