Who is God? Hallelujah, welcome here. If you miss my first welcomed the second one is just as hard felt. Glad you're here this morning. Hey man, it's no mistake. You're here this morning you believe that there's a reward for making time for the Lord. There's a reward. He's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him a man. So some of you it took the villages to get here this morning and then you had to get up yet to get ready, had to get things in place so that you can be in church on Sunday morning. Hey man, and God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. So I hope you came ready to receive a reward this morning a man. It's not what it says, so we should expect a reward. Hey man, from his word, which is truth and pure. Amen, hallelujah. Well, I'm not going to preach this morning so I'm sure you guys have heard enough of me for a while anyway. Amen, know a man's love good, that's good. Praise God. But no we have our brother and, and the newly-appointed Elder Kevin is going to come and share the word with us this morning. Why don't you guys give Jesus a nice handclap as he comes? Amen.

I'm just a little guy. You know, the mic stand is the right height, but this thing being up here makes me look like I need a mic stand that this day.

Sunday school children. Go to church.

Be blessed.

Well, good morning church.

I love this church.

This morning, I'm going to share with you, the Lord, put on my heart, and it the title of my message. Today is hear the word and accept it.

So turn your Bibles to Mark 4. We'll get there in a minute, but I'm going to I'm going to share a little background to hear because it's kind of if you, if you think about it it's kind of Almost funny anyway. So it marks 3. Jesus goes to church. He's at the synagogue. And the Pharisees didn't really like him. So they were looking for ways to basically calling out for doing something wrong, get him in trouble, ways to hurt him. And there's a guy in church with a messed up hand, that was all withered and and he couldn't use it totally unusable. And so they they were watching very closely. watching Jesus to see if you would, if you would heal this guy on the Sabbath because that was somehow that was wrong for a guy to get healed in church.

And so Jesus knew what they were doing. But of course, I think I kind of think, you know, Jesus like to do some of that stuff sometimes just to let me know. He's going to do it cuz it's right. But I think he also sort of enjoyed the conflict a little bit with those guys. So Jesus heals this guy and it says that the Pharisees immediately started plotting with the herodians to destroy him.

It's sort of like when Jesus said to them, I've done many, many good works of four. Which one are you still need me? So okay, so these down at church now that the the religious leaders are going to destroy him. So he leaves his synagogue and he starts walking down the street and there's so many people, I think one of the reasons they hated Jesus because everybody else loved him. And they want it's not for themselves but there's so many people pressing into or Jesus trying to get to him. That Jesus says to see one of his disciples, you better go get a boat or they're going to crush us.

so, after that, No. That's that's the stage, right? There's a huge crowd. The next thing that happens. Is demon possessed people. As he walks down the street. Demon possessed, people will throw themselves on the ground and go. You are the son of God.

so then, After that. He was he was just trying to go have lunch right after church. You you leave church, you go have lunch. He was going to try to have lunch. So now he's now he's having lunch, he's trying to have lunch and everybody pressed as in to where he is. There's so many people that he can't even says in the Bible says he can't even eat bread.

And his people heard about that and they said he's out of his mind. The Pharisees said.

It's still better than having a cord though.

So the Pharisees say so Jesus is people say he's crazy, we got to go get him, we got to take him out of here cuz he's he's nuts his own people and then the Pharisee say he's casting out demons by the ruler ruler of demons. He's he's working with Satan.

And then Jesus Jesus's response to all of this stuff going on is let's go back to the Sea. I'm going to preach You can't make that up. This is like a day in the life of Jesus. In his ministry, has to Mark 4. And Jesus is in the boat that he told him to get cuz he knew he was going to go preach. And he knew there was going to be a lot of people. So now he's in the boat. They told him to go get, he's out on the sea and he says, listen behold the sower went out to sow and it happened. As he showed that some seed fell by the wayside and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Some fell on the Stony ground where did not have much are Earth, and immediately, it sprang up because it had no depth of Earth. But when the sun was up, it was scorched because it had no root it withered away and some seed fell among thorns and the Thorns grew up and choked it. And it yielded no crop. But other seed fell on good ground and yielded. A crop that spring up, increase and produced some 30-fold, some 60 and some 100.

So what was Jesus's teaching about? You don't, you know that saying where people say, you know, there's two kinds of people in the world and then they say, two kinds of people and somebody else will have another one that's two kinds of people. There seems to be a hundred different versions of two kinds of people in the world. Jesus is basically saying there's four kinds of hearts in the world. And he's talking about the condition of people's hearts.

The first. The first time the word was on there that it didn't, it didn't get a chance to do anything in that hard.

The second time it's spring up right away, but I got burnt and just got burnt and it just it had nothing in it couldn't live.

The third was kind of like my garden.

It was full of weeds and missed opportunities.

That hinder the growth right last year in our garden. It was so hot last year and we don't really have. I mean, I have to string 6 garden hoses together to get them. I got So, we didn't water that much cuz it's a lot of work. And I posted on Facebook a picture of our cornrows last year because they were just completely overtaken by weeds. And I said, an enemy has done this.

That's what my garden was like last year. And that's like, that's the heart. That's what that's the condition of that heart where it where Thorns grew up in, just choked it. You know, we're going to talk about that in a second. The force was like, Eden's Garden.

She brought Edith and Val brought us pails full of stuff this year which which helps with the stuff that we lost in our garden and it was excellent. Right, you can tell that the garden was taken care of in, that Garden was ready to produce and It produced well.

But you see it's the same seed in all four cases, the same seed. So, it's not the sea, that's the problem. Sometimes, we sold a whole bunch of corn this year. That didn't you just never came up.

I mean all the other stuff came up. So there must have been the seed must have been the problem there. Cuz it wasn't like my garden couldn't couldn't support the life for corn to come up. We had just but we had dozens of them that never came up. There was something wrong with the seat but this is the same seat every time in four different parts.

And only one producer Harvest Church. God wants a harvest.

There's only one result in this Parable, that's that is God's will. That is acceptable and pleasing to God.

Like I said, it's the same seed. So who controls who controls the heart, who controls your heart? We control our we are, we're responsible for the condition of our hearts. So that when the word soon, we can produce a harvest.

So that's what Jesus taught. And then after that sermon like I'm sure his disciples were all a man and you know, all that well it was going on. But after the service the disciples when they got in private with him, the day was done. They said what were you talking about?

Silver 13. And he said to them, Jesus said to them, do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower, soweth the word. Now, that's a big right there. The sower, soweth the word, what? The Bible says, faith comes by hearing.

So who's this, or this or is the sores a preacher, right? So where's when you go to church on Sunday and you and you hear a word, that's the store, but the sores are also showing is also when you, when you read the word of God, When you have your devotions, when you listen to the word of God, when you listen to preaching, when the Holy Spirit, put the scripture in your heart, that's all showing the word.

There's fifteen and these are the ones by the wayside where the word assume, when they hear Satan comes immediately and takes away. The word that was sown in their hearts. Like, these likewise are the one stone on Stony ground, who, when they hear the word immediately receive it with gladness. And they have no root in themselves. And so endure, for a Time afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word sake. Immediately, they stumble, Now, these are the one stone among Thorns. They are the ones who hear the word and the cares of this life. The deceitfulness of riches and the desire for other things, entering, in choke the word and it becomes unfruitful, but these are the ones showing on good ground, those who hear the word accept it, and bear fruit. Some 30 fold, some 60. And some 100. Same word. Every time. Same seed, different Harvest. Only one, produces a harvest, only one produces.

A return.

30 fold. Is the minimum return? That's pretty good return. So that the word of God is the word of God is powerful to produce. Right. It's our hearts that determine whether or not a produces and how much it produces. I don't know what the difference is between the 34 guy in the hunter full guy,

I'd like to write. I'd like to so that I can always be the hunter full guy but you know, if we could just if we could just produce a harvest every time

Every time the word assume you know, God wants a harvest. Every time you hear the word of God,

Every time.

Hey, so we're going to take these one at a time. Number one of the Wayside. these are people that are like, Kind of easy targets for Satan, I think. Maybe it's because they're not. Maybe it's because they're not totally, like totally committed to God and just kind of on the periphery and maybe just a little unsure or whatever. But it's basically like It's basically like the word is sewn into them and and right away the Devil comes and says that's not true. Don't believe that your give it to me and we're like Okay.

Immediately comes to take it so that it doesn't even have a chance to do anything.

Satan has asked by CNN's ratings been doing that since the very beginning of History by casting doubt on God's faithfulness on whether or not you can trust God, telling the truth. Whether you can trust the word of God. Right? The Garden of Eden. What did you say? Did God say, was the first time Satan's basically stole the word.

He just he just tries to make you not believe God.

but you know what, I think if we had a

I think if we had a better maybe respect us, not the right word but a better understanding of Who's talking to you when the word of God is when it when the word of God Is So Into You heart. Who's talking to you? It's God. It's all Mighty God.

So, it doesn't have to. It doesn't have to make the with the way this world does things. God if you'd noticed guys, God does not do things the same way. The world does things. So if you have it in the word of God, it's you know we got to we got to get past caring, what the world thinks. If it's in the word of God, we have to go with that every time to produce the results. God wants a harvest every time number to Stony ground. So basically, these are people that are fired up for God. Right in the be to get, maybe, get saved in your fired up. Forgot, I'm going to live for God forever and then You stuff happens in life. I've noticed life can produce some difficult stuff. For me anyway. When I get when, I think about the Stony ground people, I think about me trying to run a 400-meter Dash. That's what came to me. When I was thinking about this. I got a guy could be all fired up in the blocks in the gun goes, and I'm, and I'm going as hard as I can. But at about M 63, when I can't breathe, and I'm thirsty and everything. You're going to see me like this. And I'm done. That's what happens to people in their Christian walk and then you got to get back up and you got it. You know, you got to get the word in any again and you got to you got to try again, right? But part of the reason, part of the reason, the hardest Stony ground is because we're not getting enough word. I was talking to, I was talking to somebody or family, that is a Christian and we were talking about some things that they're going through stuff and I said they would like You do a 20 minutes a day to read the Bible? It's not enough. You don't and you can't, I know you can't sit there for 3 hours a day and read the Bible and pray. But I mean

The phone in your pocket has every you can listen to just about every sermon Kenneth Hagin ever preach on your phone.

I mean between him and R W Schambach and Jonathan Shuttlesworth. I got more preaching than I could ever listen to

And that I that puts more word into me. Then I could I could never stay awake long enough to sit and read the Bible. If I'm going to be honest with you for that long you know I studied the Bible everyday. I try to read the Bible every day but I I for sure, listen to preaching everyday.

I haven't, but I do not have a kind of TV, I have like a 40-minute commute to the city, so there you go. I got a message in on the way in. I get a message while I'm driving around. I got another one on the way home. I get a lot of preaching every day because Of the technology we have imagined when you used to have to sit down at a desk with a lamp. And that's only what you can do. And Sunday mornings. The only way you can Where Dan, you?

And then tapes came that must have been like revolutionary, right? Yeah, cassette tapes. I used to buy those at church.

then CDs was, you know, but Now podcast YouTube. Every, every, every major ministry that's out there right now, today has apps that you can listen to every message. They preach every prayer service they do. It's all on YouTube, you know, that's how you avoid being Stony ground.

This is this this one reminds me of like a few chapters later and Mark, eat where Jesus said, whoever desire. Whoever wants to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me because Stony ground. Also is, is an issue with giving up the old, the old life Sometimes it's giving up the things that you liked in the old life that that, you know, now or soon, sometimes it's giving up. It's giving up the stuff that you did before that you regret. You got to let you know to give that up too.

Because you're forgiven your Christian, you're born again, your, your, your new creation. You are now the righteousness of God in Christ. You're forgiven old things have passed away all become new Dover. It's new now.

Number three is Thorns three parts to this. The cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches and the desire for other things. And you think about that for a second? that wraps it all at like everything's included in the

cares of this life that has to do with. Provision. Insecurity in your life, right? The, the Greek word. Karis is also translated anxiety. So that's the anxieties of this life, think about the anxieties of your life for a second. You got bills. Do you don't have enough money?

Health problems, family problems Church problems.

cares of this life, maybe the organized crime family, we called the government of Canada Right. Taking all your guns now.

you know, when you're when you're full of like when you're so weighed down, by that stuff, there's just not enough room in that hard for

Her face the girl.

never felt that when you hear the word and you feel Faith rise up in you in your spirit, right? But if your spirit is, if you're so if you're so, if you're under so much pressure and weight, that you don't That you can't seem to let the Lord. Take the Bible says, cast all your cares on the Lord but I know it's hard cuz I got to do it all the time and I'm not always good at it. But if you're under so much weight, it's hard for the the word to become fruitful. It's hard because it requires belief. And it's hard to. It's hard when you're under that much pressure, you know, but it's not impossible. Cuz of God all things are possible.

But that's a big one. That cares of this life, we all have that stuff. I don't care if you're rich cuz they'll most people it has to do with provision a lot of times, right? Cuz it's not easy out there. Look at inflation, my mortgage payments in Ghana. I, I was at 2.45%. They have my percent has doubled cuz I'm on a variable.

So, I'm not impressed with that and it's not easy. but it's okay because Because my God owns it all.

You know what, the one of the best things that I wanted them things. I love the most in the Bible where God shows that shows God's just how big God is and, and how, and with things like provision and stuff like that is, God said, if I would, God said if I was hungry, I wouldn't tell you. I love that. is it basically is like Just relax. You know, I got I own it all and now you're my son so Blocks.

The cares of this life will choke out the work. Deceitfulness of riches.

Is a big topic. This has to do with a false sense of security, there's people that have money, lots of it, and it is their secure, it's their identity, if their security all that, right? Like we know that money has a way of making people think that they don't need God. forum, for people that aren't for people that are walking really Walking with God, though, For a true Christian. That shouldn't be the case. We should see that. I'm going to hit that in a minute, but we should see that as As an asset on God's balance sheet. Not my balance sheet.

But the deceitfulness of riches when people get rich, especially if they, they earned that money, you know what I mean? Like, they became successful and they say, like the it says, in Deuteronomy said, be careful that when you have find houses to live in and all that the you don't say, look up, look what I've done.

Be careful that you remember the Lord?

A lot of people can't handle very, I think, well, maybe not very few, but a lot of people can handle large amounts of money early. If you like one of those say, if you won the lottery or something, right? And you came into a large amount of money in a very short period of time, there's a lot of people that that'll kill, it'll kill him.

And there's a lot of people that it'll push it it will it will if they're not if they're not really rooted in God and if they're not producing, if they're weird, isn't producing is a harvest in their heart all the time. That it will, it will cause them to look and say We'll look, I don't I don't need anybody. It might be true that you don't need anybody but you need God.

The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil.

And church often says, money is the root of all evil. But the love of money is the root of all evil. If you believe that money is the root of all evil. You can make a check out to Kevin cross and I will happily take it from me and use it to pay my bills. Yes, but also for the work of the ministry.

The reason the love of money is the root of all evil is because it's a spirit. Think about all the terrible things that people do for money. People steal from their own parents or the kids. Why is Heather husband killed for insurance money, right? What are the Penguins drugs? I mean Yeah, guys, I went looked at I went looked at two properties today. This week, this last week that were seized by the federal government 4. For being purchased with the proceeds of crime. And so I went and looked at and that's drugs. So I wouldn't look at this acreage west of the city. That's on the way to bed Square acreage. Really nice house to huge Quonset so you know and they were done it like in floor heat and bathroom in there, everything, right? This guy know, this guy must not have much of a brain because what he did with that, to try to protect his drug Empire, is he put 6 ft of chain, link fence, and barbed wire around the whole 68. And I showed up and that's the way I was nothing conspicuous here at all.

Like why would you do that? You so the doors all busted you see where the RCMP when it was their big RAM and destroyed the door, right? And that's the love of money. They don't care that they're killing people with that stuff. Cuz they love money.

Human trafficking.

You're not that's not, that's not a human behavior. That's a spiritual thing.

You don't get that Wicked on your own. The spiritual thing. Evil.

But Christians don't handle money that way.

Hey, let's do something here. That's fun. I do this. Let's just imagine that you go home today. After church for lunch after lunch, for the potluck, you go home. And in your mailbox is a check with your name on it for 10 million dollars. What are you doing with it?

What's the first thing you would do with 10 million?

That's it. first thing I would do, first thing I would do, I would deposit it

and I, you know what, just for fun, I would totally deposit it with my phone. I just see what happens. To see if they like Claritin tint in 2 business days or if I get a phone call from the bank, or what, what's going to happen, right? Cuz I have never experienced having that kind of money. But that's it. Second thing I would do is I would go to the bank and I would get my tie.

And that roof would never leak again.

You know, the tithe is the tithe is how he is. One of the ways that you make sure that you don't suffer from the Love of Money. God's got pretty smart. He put that in place so that you could have a way with your money to put him first. but I wouldn't stop at just that

And you can ask my wife feels, she will actually tell you this is true. I'm not trying to be. No I would act. I would give into the work of the ministry. I've always wanted to be able to give large amount of money into the work of the ministry.

Your husband would never pay for a plane ticket again. Ever, he can go wherever he wants, you know, stuff like that. I would love to be able to to Buy a like a multi family, real estate agent. So I think about real estate, all-time multi-family apartment building and say, Here this is paid for and it's going to generate income from the church for the church, you know, I want to do things like that. Sure. I spent the money on myself and I'd like to do some things. but that money would big chunks of that money would go to the spreading of the gospel, and I can guarantee you that if you give me 10 million dollars or prove it to you,

Is the pastor from Cold Lake, Alberta? Pastor party. And he used to preach at our church. Stop the tune once in awhile, and he was doing an offering message and I never forgot. That's what he said. He's talking with the tide, and he saying, you'll people want about 10%. He said, the devil had me giving it all, And that's true. When I was a sinner, I paid for my truck, I paid for my house and I paid for my food and all that but everything else went to the devil stuff. Everything else. I remember going, I remember cashing a paycheck one day. I used to go to the bar, right after right from work with, with the guys from work for you. And I put I'm not kidding, I didn't have big paychecks, I worked at a labor labor job, just above minimum wage. This is what I'm in my early early twenties before, I would say, I put half that paycheck into the BLT and I went home and I was so mad. I lived across the street from the exhibition, September, the old casino on, and I was so mad about it. I went to the casino and I put another 25% of that paycheck, and it was a rough month. everything else went to the devil when I was a sinner,

So it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a joy for me to give 10% to God and to give God offerings. And God promises are results.

Do you know that the

I was looking, I like to look at the, I'm not really a nerd, but I like to look at the the reason I look at the Greek in the Hebrew and stuff and I look in the concordances and everything is because I'm trying to understand When I hear that, it's not just hearing the word but it's studying the word and trying to understand it. Trying to let the Holy Spirit show you something. You know what? So

So I I looked at up in the end, the deceitfulness of riches is the delusion of riches.

It's a that's a delusion.

But money is just a tool.

It's Like a Knife. You can cut it tomato or you can kill somebody with it. Right. That's why it doesn't work for that. That doesn't white. That's that's why it doesn't work for the mafia to take away your guns, because the guns that they take away from the hunters, are not the guns that are killing people.

Play the desire for other things.

But that means in the Greek is and the rest. Or everything else. That covers everything you want. like, everything that you

I think you wanted. It is basically like your life, so

And what, what, what they're talking about you talking about there with everything else, it is God wants you to have things. Got in the Bible says, God will give you the desires of your heart.

The Bible says, the blessing of the Lord makes a man rich and he adds no sorrow with it, so God's not against you having things. And having fun though, the bat the most fun life you can live is serving God.

But God wants to be first. That's that's what he wants. If God is really first, you'll have more stuff than you can get on their own.

There should be no possession or like activity in your life. That is not on the table for God to.

And if it's like that, I think you'll you'll find if it's really like that, you'll find that God's not telling you to give up a whole bunch of stuff.

What think about how you are with your kids? If you have kids, do you like your kids to be blessed?

What did Jesus say? Matthew 7:11 if you being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more Your Father in heaven? Give good things to those who ask him. God wants you to have good. Things. Just doesn't want anything to have your heart but him

So, we have the anxieties of this life, the deceitfulness of riches and everything else.

When I think about that, I think about that. All that stuff has to do with your standard of living

It has to do with your the things of your life.

And it takes a consistent effort to. To seek God, to read God's word to spend time in prayer and all that to beat to commune with God and to be in good relationship with God. To make sure that all that stuff is in its proper place and this is where we get to Romans. 12:2 says, do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you might prove what is a good and acceptable. A. And this is where we get to good ground.

These are people who hear the word and accept it.

People say there's no while there can't be any formulas in the Bible. Well, there's one right right there for you. The Bible says that the ones that hear the word and accept it, Bear fruit. like, if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, You'll be safe.

So to hear the word faith comes by hearing.

Hearing by the word of God. Like I said before, you have to hear the word. But you have to be, you have to be in the word, studying the word hearing the word. Her faith to come to grow. And I when I when I pray and when I study in the word and I see something and God shows me something, I feel it. I feel Faith over a rise up in my spirit and that's when I thought it when I'm reading something in the in the in the Bible and something that happens, that's where you stop. And you just like David And study and try to figure out what what's he showing me here?

Cuz if you live, if we learn, I'm learning, I'm learning. We learn to differentiate between something, you feel in your emotions and something you feel in your spirit. Then you can really be led by God.

You have to study. Find out what it's actually saying. Is it is easy to take something out of context and make it sound like it's something that it's not. And that's another reason why I look at. I look at the the translations of stuff to try to understand cuz I'm not just I don't just get it. Automatically.

But God Honors that effort. when we put that effort in to study the word of God, And to ask him to show us what it means. And then to actually like, read read different translations. I have a study Bible that shows you like a lot of times that Jesus was quoting in the Old Testament somewhere and so if you call it like in the end of study Bible, it'll show you what the quote where that quote as you go back in the Psalms and Proverbs or whatever and you'll see what Jesus was actually talking about. Then you can read what was going on then. And what that means, you know, if there's there's places in the Bible, where, where Jesus was quoting Isaiah, will you go back to Isaiah and you read through that? Through the book of Isaiah around that around that quote and it it sheds, light on what you're actually reading. You understand what Jesus was trying to say to the disciples could you? And you got to remember those guys. All knew the Old Testament. they were Jews and they knew the Old Testament, there's lots of, there's lots of Jewish people that have memorized, the Torah, that's just insane to me.

I'd love to I can I can tell I can spit it out of my mouth and I can't tell you where to find it, but those guys can sit there and have in the beginning and they can go. All the way. That's impressive. What they've heard the word. They've got a lot of weird in them.

Number two is accepted. This is harder. Sometimes. Number one really is like to hear the word. Number one is really about, just basically putting in the work, like if you're a gym guy or whatever you say, I put in the work, if I leave right now, I'm going to get the games I want.

This is the same thing. You put in the work but number two is to accept it. The song about believing. when you have a past like you do, like I do, It can be hard to accept what God says about you. What God gave you it can be but you have to do that by faith. Just like you got saved by faith. You repent by faith and get saved.

When you hear the word, when you read the word, when you hear something that God said in his word is for his people, you got to put your name on that.

Lot of people do that. They actually read the word of God and they put their name in there or they say, I, you know,

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. the Bible says, abundance of the heart.

so, that's That's why. Things choke out the word. and that's why the word is on the Wayside because it is the the abundance of the heart is not faith. Right? That's why. That's why the ones that produce the Harvest produce a harvest because of the abundance of the heart is faith.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. So if out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks in life, and death are in the power of the tongue. You can tell real quick, what's in your heart?

I work on that. I've been working on that for a long time.

Cuz I got a stupid mouth sometimes.

I guess I just did it right there tonight.

You see need to see if you could, you could do things like that. I am more than a conqueror. That's the word of God.

He said his word and healed me. I have been seated together with Christ in Heavenly places.

Turn on March 11th.

I'm going to have your flip around a little bit now but Mark 11, verse 22 to 24.

So Jesus answered and said to them, have faith in God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever says, to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things, he says will be done. He will have whatever he says.

so, you can say,

When I say to the, when I say to the problems in my life, be removed and be cast into the sea. And I don't doubt in my heart, I believe that those things I say will be done, I will have whatever I say. Because out of the abundance of my heart, the mouth speaks.

If you feel your heart with with the word of God, all the time, you're going to spit it out.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask, when you believe, when you pray believe that you receive them and you will have them. Have you ever have you ever, have you ever spoken in faith, even spoken the word of God and Faith when you're having problems and pain like and not believe it? Yeah, probably leaving it inside. You just know it, then it's not there.

We we got to get more word in a sentence.

If I'm having, if I'm having a, if I'm sick or something, I listen to preaching on healing.

And I speak it. I speak the word of God. About healing. If I'm, if I'm afraid. I listen to preaching about dealing with fear. Is lots.

Here's what the devil does. My wife and I were just talking about this the other day.

You have to make an effort to get the word of God in you. There's some effort involved, you grow to love the word of God. As you do this, though, you going to really enjoy it when I used to do my commute to draw a drive and listen to the radio all the time, country music and stuff, you know.

And you know, it's all ungodly stuff. I bet you do. I kind of enjoyed it and whatever and you just joined out like you do in front of a TV. and when I first started listening to preaching,

It was a bit of a, it took a little while for me to kind of get into it. But now when I'm doing my commute and somebody calls me I kind of get annoyed, I ignore the call most of the time, I'll call you when I get into the city, if you want to my clients, that's not true. I've never ignored your call ever but I ignore the call. Because I don't I don't want unless my wife my wife, I always answer my voice calls. On the road. But I don't want to interrupt that I enjoy listening to the preaching. You don't to the work being preached. It changes me, it puts me in a better frame of mind when I go to my job, when I get there, I'm better cuz it's in me.

So when you read Mark 11 22-24, put your name in there and accept that. My prayers get answered. Jesus just said right there. My prayers get answered. If I see if I say, if I have a problem that I speak to that problem and I tell him to get lost and I believe in my heart, it gets answer.

Accept it.

Go to First John, chapter 5.

For people who struggle with letting go of their past.

you going to get it, get it, get into you things like I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

To that man. Believed in his name, he gave the right to be called the sons of God.

If I was like, let's just say that I am poor and homeless on the street. And then somebody picks me up and puts me into Buckingham Palace and says, now, you're part of this family.

Are you taking the dress? Will it be an adjustment? But do you think that? Like William and Kate ever worry about how they're going to pay the power bill. They don't even know what it is. They the day, there's so much abundance. There's so much like they they've never even considered it. They wouldn't even know where to look it up.

And that's a, that's a I mean that used to be a great big Kingdom ride. They said that the Sun never set on the British Empire. But now, it's way way smaller than I used to be.

But it's nothing even, even in its Heyday, it's nothing compared to the kingdom of your father. That you are part of. You're part of the family. You're not a subject. Your son.

1st John 5:14 to 15. Now, this is the confidence that we have in him. That if he ask anything according, if we ask anything according to get to, will he hears us? And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions, we've asked of him Except that. He hears you.

You can't ask for. Somebody to get whacked, okay? It's not according to his will. But anything, I could, if it's in the word of God in the mouth of two or three Witnesses, let every word be a stab if it's in there.

It's yours. and if you ask for, he hears, you

Psalm 91 verse 1. He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. That's the who of this passage. So we're we're sons and daughters. Like, literally, like royalty in the kingdom of God.

But he who dwells like we have to dwell there. We have to accept our position as children of God. And be there. Right, cuz God will let you God. Will let you Like the homeless, if you refuse. You can still like go to heaven and not, you needed saved, it's more than just escaping hell and getting entrance into heaven. It's not a ticket. It's more than that. Healing comes with septation, right? Your position as a right to see his comes with salvation.

He wants us to have it all and he gave he he paid a very, very high price for us to have it. you know, really if you if you paid a high price for somebody to have something and they only took 10% of it. it would probably take you off a little bit, it probably probably frustrating a little bit like, you feel like, Are you not grateful? Or you just don't know or you just can't accept it. If somebody gave me ten million dollars, I said, wallnau 10005.

No, I've been I'll take all 10 million, thank you just so you know. All tonight. So the who is He, Who dwells in the secret place of the most high?

He shall call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. With long life, I will satisfy him. And show him my salvation. Except that. He loves you. As a father. And not as if not as a father to makes mistakes all the time like me.

As a perfect father.

when you accept that in your heart, when you saw them, when you get the word in your heart all the time and you accept it. You bear fruit.

These are the only ones that bear fruit. Same seed every time.

And like I said, the returns are amazing in my job and real estate you get five 6%. We're talking about minimum return of 30 fold.

That shows you God doesn't want anybody to be poor. if his word for deuces, Average a minimum return of 30 fold. God doesn't want anybody to be poor in anything. Not poor and house. Not poor in peace, not poor in money.

Every time you hear the word of God, he wants a harvest. Right now, he wants a harvest.

Because the word of God produces results.

We got it. We have to stay focused on what God said he wants for us. the other things that God says he doesn't want for us, we've got to stop focusing on those things, but God wants a lot of great things for us. God doesn't want any bad things for us. Like I said, look at the human father, comparison, are there any fathers that would say? Yeah, I think you might kids should get cancer cuz I want to teach him something.

Bright, not any sane ones.

You always want the best for your kids. You want your kids to be blessed.

That's where we got it from.

You can never live a good life if you're always looking to the new thing. And consumed by desires. That's the everything else.

Those desires are number for filled. You got one thing enjoyed for a while and then you go to something else. Ray, but life with God isn't boring, it's the most fulfilling life you can have Purpose. Purpose in life. Is found in God.

And you don't have to take. I'm kind of hammered on the poverty thing because it's so bad in the church.

Which results in people not. Giving.

Is there their they're stuck on the spot or anything? And I don't believe in it.

You can live with all the Peace of knowing that you spend eternity with Jesus. You can have peace with God. You have peace with God. If you're a born-again Believer, you have peace with God. He doesn't look at you with this appointment. He sees you as PCS. He was holy and perfect. Cuz that's what Jesus purchase for you.

The Bible is full of promises promises that show you that God wants you to have an abundant life in every way. Isaiah 1:19, if you're willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land C willing and obedient.

Put that word in your heart.

Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy 8:18 a reference this earlier. You shall remember the Lord your God for it. Is him who gives you the power to get wealth? Luke 6:38 giving it giving it will be given to you good measure pressed down shaken together and running over will be put into your bosom which also means your lap, which is probably better.

For, with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. Bugs me. The the the thing that the idea that living for God is like some kind of handicapped

That's insulting.

Like people and people that people that don't know the first thing about God will say that kind of stuff to you.

You know it shouldn't be coming out of the church maybe does. Sometimes with people at people in your life that don't know God will say off you don't you don't come out and get drunk anymore on the weekends. And you got it. Like what is it? So cold. You got to live like you have any fun anymore.

I know what? It's like to get drunk every weekend. I know what? It's like to get drunk everyday. I'm telling you it's not fun for very long.

But the more that I get to know God the more I live forgotten, the more I want to go forward with God and faith. the better, my life gets the more fun, my life gets even with even with all the stuff that comes against you, that makes you that that makes it hard for you to Before word, I still have joy. I never had that before God. I still have joy and problems right wet when I'm having problem. I still have joy because I have faith because I like I can feel the holy spirit with me. I can feel the way I can feel Faith, rise up in me and I can I know that I'm going to, I'm going to get Before you were scared all the time. The anxieties in this world.

The world's way of life. Is an inch deep and a mile wide.

But when you hear the word of God, And it gets in your heart and you accept it and you bear fruit.

The new that that's real life, you can experience real life. Real living is a life that is build for you as you follow him. There's no self made.

The only time I was ever a self-made, man was what I made, a Total Wreck of my life. I did that to myself.

I have no desire to be a self-made, man.

And I don't care if I had the ability to go out and make a hundred million dollars. I have no desire to be a self-made, man, I want to be a God Made Men. I want my family to be a God made family.

And that's why every day I hear the word. And I accept it.

And then I trust God to be to bear fruit in my life.

That's all I got church.

We get anything out of that this morning.

Father, we thank you for your words this morning.

We thank you for the love that you have for us. We thank you for the life. You've called us to live. We thank you for the opportunity. We have to grow with you. We're not just saved. Although salvation it'd be well worth it just to be safe. It's a miracle, but we're not just saved. We're Sons. And Daughters of the most high God.

We're thankful. That you loved us so much. You sent your son to die for every one of us to a race.

The sin in our life. And to make us free. To make us righteous and make us holy in your sight. Help us Lord to accept your word. Help us to walk out your word every day and so that you can get the maximum return on our life.

We Praise You, In Jesus name, amen.

Freeze gun.

this morning as I was driving into town, I just felt the god kind of give me this short little word and I think it adds, I'm going to piggyback on Kevin just real quick before we we go but I even speaking to me that you know the Bible says that in the sun makes three sets free is free indeed right now know that well believe that And I was like, oh God, I know that. Is a? Do you really you really understand what that means? And then you begin to tell me, you know, who knows what a trigger is You're an addict, maybe we got some Addiction Counseling people here or people have worked in those Industries. What's a trigger?

You tell me. The person place or thing. And what it does is it it takes you to a place that makes you vulnerable, is that basically, right? That's what. That's, that's how the Holy Ghost. Explain it to me. And so we, we all think we have trauma or are triggers because of trauma or things that we were addicted to, but how many of you were born again this morning that you've trusted in Jesus that he is saved you redeemed. You bought you with the price that you free, as we were as he was preaching this morning and it's just started to rise up in the me that you know, what it is if the word of God is true. And I read to you this morning that it was right from proverbs 30 verse 5, in the word of God is pure.

It's absolutely pure. It's up to us to accept it. The Bible says that whom the son sets free is free, indeed, that means you have no triggers. Anymore. I know the world can't receive that, but you have to receive that. You are a brand new creation, whatever, trauma used to cause we used to hear a name. See a picture think of thought it's gone, except that this morning, because it's going to set you free. Amen. And so, that's all I'm going to add to what you said, because I just know that the spirit of God wants to set somebody free this morning because you still think you have triggers and God saying, you don't. You've been set free except the Hebrews chapter 4 verse 2 says that they they heard the same word but they didn't mix it with faith.

So we all heard the same word, right? He was talking about the word, being sold into different kinds of souls, everybody hears it, but it's up to you to mix it with faith. So, believe that this morning for yourself, I have no triggers. Maybe put your name and I don't have any triggers anymore.

Praise God. That's not the world's wisdom. That's the wisdom of God. Because if you still had triggers, then you're not dead and he said, you are Hey man. Praise God. If you want prayer this morning will pray with you. Praise God. Before we we go and eat together.

But you need, you just need to receive that for yourself. It's not about me praying with you. I can agree with you that those triggers are gone and whatever else you need this morning. But I know God wants to deal with that this morning because he, he taught me on the way to town. Amen. Praise God. Rocky has this rap song that he listens to and maybe that's why it was. God was trying to teach me something this morning because my son. Was running around with the phone playing it over and over again and basically everything that you can say about this person he said, God taught me. A man. So God was trying to teach me something this morning so that I can help you and help myself because you know what, maybe it's anger, whatever it is. There's triggers that you think you still have it and God saying you don't, amen. Praise God. I'm going to pray for the food before you go in there. And if you want to go and start to eat, make sure you save the rest of us food while we're praying. Hallelujah. But I be filled feel free to go. And if you just want to stay here, and if you want to pray and you want to join me in prayer, just where you're at, reach your hand forward and agree that the holy spirit is working and wants to set people free this morning. Amen. Hallelujah. Heavenly Father, we thank you this morning, we thank you for your word, which is truth, father, help our unbelief. All things are possible to those who believe help us to mix Faith with the word. This morning, the word of Truth, the word that that we received this morning from the man of God. We thank you this morning for the word, we receive it by faith. In Jesus name that it will produce not just a little screwed, but it's 30 60 and 100 in Jesus name in our lives. As we leave, that we will not be the same because we've taken your word and we've put it in good soil. This morning trusting in you alone and no one else. Father, we thank you today. We give you all the praise and all the glory bless the food and the fellowship. Let your your your name be honored in every conversation today as we meet together, that we would speak of your glory, we speak of your wonders and then father, we thank you that the word comes by hearing and if and I I looked up that word and it actually means Rumours testimonies as we speak testimonies to one another of your goodness, it and maybe you're down the down the the table and you don't hear the whole story. But you hear part of a testimony that encourages us to bring Faith to you. And to trust, if you do not believe in for that today, in Jesus name. Amen. Praise God. Be blessed, please join us. If you if you would for food, we would love for you to join us. Amen. Praise God.
