1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victorium. Thanks so much for listening 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. We 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: believe you're going to have an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: and favor filled. God bless you today and enjoy the message. Well, 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: God bless you. It's always a joy to come into 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: stop by and be a part of one of our services. 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: again for coming out today. And I like to start 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: with something funny, and I heard about this kindergarten teacher. 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: She wanted to explain to her students about self esteem. 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: She asked anyone in the class that feels dumb to 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: please stand up. She didn't think anybody would stand and 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: she would make the point how nobody is dumb. But 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: about that time little Johnny stood up, she thought, oh no, 17 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Now what am I going to do? She said, Now, Johnny, 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: do you really feel like you're dumb? He said no, ma'am. 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: I just hate to see you standing there all by yourself. 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 26 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 27 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about having an abundant mentality. 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: God's dream for your life is that you would be 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: blessed in such a way that you could be a 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: blessing to others. David said, my cup runs over. God 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: is an overflow God. But here's the key. You can't 32 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: go around thinking thoughts of lack, not enough, struggle and 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: expect to have abundance. And if you've been under pressure 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: for a long time and had difficulty making ends meet, 35 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: it's easy to develop a limited mindset. I'll never get 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: out of this neighborhood, or I'll never have enough to 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: send my kids to college. No, that may be where 38 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: you are now, but that's not where you have to stay. 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: God is called Elshaddai, the god of more than enough, 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: not the god of barely enough, not the god of 41 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: just help me make it through. Let me live off 42 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: the leftovers. Know the God of overflow, the God of abundance, 43 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: the God of more than enough. And the Psalm thirty 44 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: five says, let them say continually, let the Lord be magnified, 45 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: who takes pleasure in the prosperity of his children. They 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: were supposed to go around constantly saying God takes pleasure 47 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: in prospering me. It was to help them develop this 48 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: abundant mentality. Your life is moving toward what you're constantly 49 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: thinking about. If you're always thinking thoughts of lack, not enough, struggle, 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: you're moving toward the wrong things. Now all through the day, 51 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: meditate on these thoughts overflow, abundance, God takes pleasure in 52 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: prospering me. In the scripture, the Israelites had been in 53 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: slavery for many years. That was the land of barely enough. 54 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: They were just enduring, surviving, barely making it through. One day, 55 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: God brought them out of slavery and took them into 56 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: the desert that was the land of just enough. Their 57 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: needs were supplied, but nothing extra, says Their clothes didn't 58 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: wear out for forty years. I'm sure they were grateful. 59 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I don't particularly want to 60 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: wear this same suit for the next forty years. If 61 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: I have to, I'm not going to complain. But that's 62 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: not my idea of abundance. It wasn't God's either. God 63 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: eventually took them into the promised land. That was the 64 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,559 Speaker 1: land of more than enough. The food and supplies were plenteous, 65 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: the bundles of grape so large two grown men had 66 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: to carry them. It's called the land flowing with milk 67 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: and honey. Flowing means it didn't stop, It never ran out. 68 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: It continued to have an abundance. That's where God is 69 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: taking you. Now. You may be in the land of 70 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: barely enough. Right now, you don't know how you're gonna 71 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: make it through next week. Don't worry. God hasn't forgotten 72 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: about you. God closed the lilies of the field, he 73 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: feeds the birds of the air. He's going to take 74 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: care of you. You may be in the land of 75 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: just enough. Your needs are supplied. You're grateful, but there's 76 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: nothing extra, nothing to accomplish your dreams. God is saying, 77 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: I did not breathe my life into you to live 78 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: in the land of barely enough. I didn't create you 79 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: to live in the land of just enough. Those are seasons, 80 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: those are tests, but they are not permanent. Don't put 81 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: your stakes down. You are passing through. It is only temporary. 82 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: God has a promised land for you. He has a 83 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: place of abundance of more than enough, where it's flowing 84 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: with provision. Not just one time, but you'll continue to increase, 85 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: You'll continue to have plenty. Now, if you're in the 86 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: land of barely enough, don't you dare settle there. That 87 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: is where you are. It is not who you are. 88 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: That is your location. That is not your identity. You 89 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: are a child of the most High God. No matter 90 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: what it looks like, you have this abundant mentality. Keep 91 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: reminding yourself. God takes pleasure in prospering me. I am 92 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: the head and never the tell. The scripture says God 93 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: will supply our needs according to his riches. So often 94 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: we look at our situations and think, I'll never get ahead, Joel, 95 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: I'm in the projects, I'll never get out. No, it's 96 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: not according to what you have, it's according to what 97 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: He has. The good news is God owns it all. 98 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: One touch of God's favor can blast you out of 99 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: barely enough and put you into more than enough. God 100 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: has ways to increase you beyond your normal income, beyond 101 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: your salary, beyond what's predictable. Now, quit telling yourself this 102 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: is all I'll ever have. Granddaddy was broke. Mom and 103 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: Daddy didn't have anything. My dog's on welfare, my cat's homeless. 104 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Let go of all that and have an abundant mentality. 105 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: This is not where I'm staying. I'm blessed, I'm prosperous. 106 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm headed to overflow to the land of more than enough. 107 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: I received a letter from a young couple. They had 108 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: both been raised in low income families. All they saw 109 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: modeled growing up was lack, struggle, can't get ahead. Families 110 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: had accepted it, but not this couple. They had been 111 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: coming to Lakewood. They didn't have not enough mentality. They 112 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: had an abundant mentality. They knew God had a promised 113 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: land in store for them, and they took a step 114 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: of faith, and on very average incomes, they decided to 115 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: build their own house. They didn't take out a loan. 116 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: Whenever they had extra funds, they would buy the materials 117 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: and hire the contractors. A couple of years later, they 118 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: moved into this beautiful house and a nice neighborhood, all 119 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: debt free. It was like God had multiplied their funds. 120 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Not long ago. They sold that house for twice what 121 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: they had put into it. The lady wrote, we never 122 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: dreamed we would be blessed like we are today. She 123 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: went on to say something interesting. She said, my great 124 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: grandparents and my grandparents always told me that if I 125 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: had been beans and rice, that was good enough. But 126 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: I always knew one day I would have stake. If 127 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: you're going to become everything God's created you to be, 128 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: you got to make up your mind like she did. 129 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: You are not going to settle for beings and rice. 130 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: You are not going to get stuck in the land 131 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: of barely enough or the land of just enough. But 132 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: you're going to keep praying, believing, expecting, hoping, dreaming, working, 133 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: being faithful until you make it all the way in 134 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: to the land of more than enough. Now, there's nothing 135 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: wrong with beings in rice, nothing wrong with surviving. But 136 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: God wants you to go further. God wants you to 137 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: set a new standard for your family. He's an overflow God, 138 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: a more than enough God. Jesus told a parable about 139 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: a prodigal son. This young man left home blew all 140 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: of his money, wasted his inheritance and decided to return home. 141 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: And when his father saw him, the father represents God. 142 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: He said to the staff, go kill the fatted calf. 143 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: We're going to have a party. The older brother was upset. 144 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: He said, Dad, I've been with you this whole time, 145 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: and you've never given me a skinny goat. Let me 146 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: ask you, do you have a fatted calf mentality? Or 147 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: do you have a skinny goat mentality? Do you think 148 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: beans and rice are good enough? Or do you say no? 149 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: I want some enchiladas, I want some fajitas, I want 150 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: some sopho Pius. Listen, you can live off of bread 151 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: and water. You can survive in the land of barely enough. 152 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: We can endure the land of just enough, just enough 153 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: to make it through, just enough to pay my bills 154 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: this week. But that is not God's best. Your heavenly father, 155 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: the one that breathed life into you, is saying I've 156 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: got a fatted calf for you. I've got a place 157 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: for you in the land of more than enough. Now, 158 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: don't go around thinking that you'll never get ahead. You'll 159 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: never live in a nice place, You'll never have enough 160 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: to accomplish your dreams, get rid of that skinny goat, 161 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: and start having a fatted calf mentality. God wants you 162 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: to overflow with his goodness. When the Israelites were in 163 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: the desert, in the land of just Enough, they got 164 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: tired of eating the same thing every day. They said, Moses, 165 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: we want some meat to eat out here. They were complaining, 166 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: but at least for a little while, they had a 167 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: fatted calf mentality. Moses thought, that's impossible. Meet out here 168 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: in the desert steak for some two million people. There 169 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: were no grocery stores, no place to buy food. But 170 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: God has ways to increase you that you've never thought of. 171 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: God simply shifted the direction of the wind and caused 172 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: a huge flock of quall to come into the camp. 173 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: They didn't have to go after it. The food came 174 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: to them. What's interesting is quall doesn't normally travel that 175 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: far away from the water. If there had not been 176 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: a strong wind, it would have never made it way 177 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: out there in the desert. What am I saying? God 178 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: knows how to get your provision to you. A statistician 179 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: ran some numbers based on the size of the camp, 180 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: the number of people quell three feet off the ground, 181 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: like the scripture says. He concluded that there were approximately 182 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and five million quail that came into the camp. 183 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: That's an abundant God. God could have given them a 184 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: couple of quall that would have been four or five 185 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: million quail. But God doesn't just want to meet your needs. 186 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: He wants to do it in abundance. Now the question 187 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: are you thinking skiddy goat or are you thinking fatted calf? Well, Joel, 188 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: I could never afford a nice place to live. I 189 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: say this respectfully, skinny goat. I could never send my 190 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: kids to the college they really want to attend. Skinny goat. 191 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: I could never build that orphanage. I could never support 192 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: other families. I can barely support my own family. No, 193 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: God has a fatted calf a place of abundance for you. 194 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: He is not limited by your circumstances, by how you 195 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: were raised, by what you don't have. He's limited by 196 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: what you're believing. And some of you have had that 197 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: skinny goat with you for years and years you become 198 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: best friends. You need to announce to him today. I'm sorry, 199 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: but our relationship is over. It's done. We're going to 200 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: be parting ways. He may cry, complain, ba, ask is 201 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: there anybody else? Tell him, yes, I found a fatted calf. 202 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: No more thinking not enough, barely enough, just enough. From 203 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: now on, I'm thinking more than enough and abundant mentality. 204 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: When you live like this, God will bless you in 205 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: ways you've never imagined. It's like this one lady. I know. 206 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: She's a single parent mother, and her family has gone 207 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: through a lot of struggles. For years. She was barely 208 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: making it, but every Sunday she and her two sons 209 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: would be here at Lakewood in spite of all the obstacles. 210 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: They didn't have a skinny goat mentality. They were in 211 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: the land of barely enough, but they didn't put their 212 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: stakes down. They knew that wasn't their permanent address like 213 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: she did. You've got to be faithful in the wilderness 214 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: if you're going to make it into the Promised Land. 215 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that everything's gonna change overnight. There's gonna 216 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: be seasons of testing and proving. Thoughts are gonna tell 217 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: you it's never gonna change, But you dismiss that and 218 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: you just keep being faithful right where you are, honoring God, 219 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: thanking him that you're coming in to overflow. From the 220 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: time he was a little boy, always said that he 221 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: was going to get a scholarship to go to college. 222 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: He could have thought, we're poor, I'm at a disadvantage. 223 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: Know this single parent mother taught her sons that God 224 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: is a god of abundance, that he can make a 225 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: way when we don't see away. Three years ago, her 226 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: son graduated number two in his high school. He received 227 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: not one scholarship, not two, not five, not seven, not eight. 228 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: He was awarded nine scholarships, totaling over one point three 229 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: million dollars. His undergraduate, his masters, and his doctorate is 230 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: all paid for at Georgetown University. That's what happens when 231 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: you say goodbye to the skinny goat and you have 232 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: a fatted calf mentality. Jesus talked about how when we give, 233 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: it will be given back to us good measure, pressed down, 234 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: shaken together, running over, what does that mean? Press down? 235 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: I used to make chocolate chip cookies with our children. 236 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: The recipe calls for three fourths of a cup of 237 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: brown sugar. When you pour the brown sugar in, it's 238 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: so thick, so dense, even when it hits the mark 239 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: for three fourths. You have to press it down. When 240 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: you do, you can put in about twice what it 241 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: looked like. That's what God is saying. When you look full, 242 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: you think you're blessed, you're healthy. All you need is 243 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: one scholarship. You just want the house to sell for 244 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: what you put into it. You just want quail for 245 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: a day or two. God says, that's fine. But I'm 246 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: an overflow God. I'm more than enough. God. I'm about 247 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: to press it down and make room for more by increase. 248 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna press it down and show you my favor 249 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: in a new way. After he presses it down, he's 250 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: gonna shake it together and not just fill it to 251 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: the top. He's gonna take it one step further and 252 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: give you so much that you're running over. You just 253 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: wanted one scholarship. God says, that's fine. I'm gonna give 254 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: you nine to make sure you're covered. You just wanted 255 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: to get your money out of the house. God says, 256 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cause it to sell for double. You just 257 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: wanted quel for a day or two. God says, I'm 258 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: gonna give you a steak for a whole month. That's 259 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: the way our God is, why don't you get in 260 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: agreement and say, God, I'm ready, I'm a giver, I 261 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: have an abundant mentality. Lord, I want to thank you 262 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: for good measure, pressed down, shaking together, and running over 263 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: in my life. Friend of mine has a son that 264 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: God is driver's license a while back and really wanted 265 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: a car. His father said to him, let's believe that 266 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: God will give you a car. Son said, Dad, God's 267 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: not gonna give me a car. You can buy me 268 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: a car. He said, no, let's pray. They ask God 269 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: to somehow make a way that he could have a car. 270 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: A couple of months later, this man's employer called him 271 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: in and said, for the last two years, we've made 272 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: a mistake on your paycheck. We've been underpaying you. They 273 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: handed him a check. It was five hundred dollars more 274 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: than the car they had been hoping to buy. The 275 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: scripture says, is there anything too hard for the Lord? 276 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: There is no telling what God will do if you'll 277 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: get rid of the skinny goat. God is about to 278 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: press some things down. He's about to make room to 279 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: show you his increase in a new way. Says in Exodus, 280 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: I am bringing you out of lack into a good 281 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: and spacious land. No, not a small land, a little place, tight, crowded, 282 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: not enough room. No, receive this into your spirit. God 283 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: is bringing you into a spacious land, a land of 284 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: more than enough, a land of plenty of room, a 285 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: land that's flowing with increase, flowing with good breaks, flowing 286 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: with opportunity, where you not only have enough for yourself, 287 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: but you're running over, running over with space, running over 288 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: with supplies, running over with opportunity. If you're not in 289 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: a good and spacious place, my challenge is, don't settle there. 290 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: Don't let the skinny goat mentality take root. Don't think 291 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: beans and rice is good enough. That is not your 292 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: permanent address. It's only temporary. God is taking you to 293 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: a good and a spacious land. Well, you say, Joel, 294 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: are you one of those prosperity ministers? 295 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 2: Oh? 296 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: I don't like that term. That sounds like somebody that 297 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: only talks about finances. Prosperity to me is having your health, 298 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: it's having peace in your mind. It's being able to 299 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: sleep at night, having good relationships. There are many things 300 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: that money cannot buy. And while I don't like the term, 301 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: prosperity minister. I must say I am not a poverty minister. 302 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: I can't find one place in the scripture where we 303 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: are supposed to drag around not having enough, not able 304 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: to afford what we want, living off the leftovers, living 305 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: in the land of not enough. Nor we were created 306 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: to be the head and not the tell. Jesus came 307 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: that we might live an abundant life. We represent Almighty 308 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: God here on this earth. We should be examples of 309 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: his goodness, so blessed, so prosperous, so generous, so full 310 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: of joy, that other people want what we have. But 311 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: you've got to fight a religious spirit that says you're 312 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be poor, broke and defeated to show God 313 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: that you're really humble. Now, when you're poor, broke and defeated, 314 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: all that proves is that you're poor, broke and defeated. 315 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't bring any honor to God. If I brought 316 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: my two children up on the platform today and their 317 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: clothes were all raggedy, worn out, holes in their shoes, 318 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: hair not combed, you would look at me and think 319 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: what kind of father is he? It'd be a poor 320 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: reflection on me. Listen, when you look good dress, good 321 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: live in a nice place, excelling your career, generous with others. 322 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: That brings a smile to God's face. It brings him 323 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: pleasure to prosper you. My father was raised during the 324 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: Great Depression. He grew up extremely pooring he developed this 325 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: poverty mindset. He was taught in seminary that you had 326 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: to be poor to show God that you were holy. 327 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: The church he pastored made sure he stayed holy by 328 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: keeping him poor. He was making a little over one 329 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a week, trying to raise his children, barely surviving, 330 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: and one time he and my mom kept a guest 331 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: minister in their home all week. Sunday after the service 332 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: a business, this man came up to my father and 333 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: handed him a check for one thousand dollars like five 334 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: thousand dollars today. He said, I want you to have 335 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: this personally to help take care of the expenses of 336 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: the guest minister. My father took the check by the 337 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: corner like it was contaminated, like it might poison him. 338 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: He said, oh, no, I could never receive this. We 339 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: must put it in the church offering. He walked toward 340 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: the offering plate. With every step something said, don't do it, 341 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: receive God's blessings, receive God's favor. He ignored it, dropped 342 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: it in the offering plate. When he did, he said 343 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 1: he felt sick to his stomach. There's something on the 344 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: inside of us that says we're supposed to be blessed, 345 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: We're supposed to live an abundant life. It's because we 346 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: are children of the King. It was put there by 347 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: our creator. But here's the key. You have to give 348 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: God permission to prosper you. You can't go around with 349 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: a lack of mentality, thinking I'll just take the leftovers 350 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: to show everyone how humble I am. After all, God 351 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't want me to have too much. That'd be greedy, 352 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: that'd be selfish. No, get rid of that false sense 353 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: of humility that's going to keep you from an abundant life. 354 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: Listen to Deuteronomy twenty eight. In the message translation, God 355 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: will lavish you with good things. He will throw open 356 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: the doors of his sky vaults and rain down favor. 357 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: You will always be the top dog and never the 358 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: bottom dog. Now you need to start seeing yourself as 359 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: the top dog, not living off of leftovers, not able 360 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: to afford what you want not in the land of 361 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: not enough. No, come on over to the land of 362 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: more than enough. It starts in your thinking. Give God 363 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: permission to increase you, Give him permission to lavish you 364 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: with good things. We think, is it wrong for me 365 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: to want to live in a nice house, drive a 366 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: nice car? Is it wrong to want funds to accomplish 367 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: my dreams? Or wrong to want to leave an inheritance 368 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: for my children. God is saying it's not wrong. I 369 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: take pleasure in prospering you. If it was wrong to 370 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 1: have resources, abundance, wealth, why would God have chosen Abraham 371 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: to start the new Covenant with Abraham is called the 372 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: father of our faith. The scripture says Abraham was the 373 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: wealthiest man in all of the East. He had more livestock, 374 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: more cattle, more possessions than anyone else. He was the 375 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: bill Gates of his day. God could have chosen anyone, 376 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: but he chose Abraham, a man extremely blessed. David left 377 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: billions of dollars for his son to build the temple. 378 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: David is called a man after God's own heart. Get 379 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: rid of that thinking that God wouldn't want me to 380 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: have too much. That wouldn't be right. That might not 381 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: look good. No, it's just the opposite. When you look good, 382 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: it makes God look good. When you're blessed, prosperous, successful, 383 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: it brings him honor. I realize everything I have comes 384 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: from God. This suit that I'm wearing, my car, my house, 385 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: my resources, it's God's goodness. Listen, you don't have to 386 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: apologize for what God has done in your life. Where 387 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: your blessings well. The scripture says, it is the Lord 388 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: who gives you power to get well. God wouldn't give 389 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: you power to do something and then condemn you for 390 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: doing it. There's nothing wrong with you having money. The 391 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,239 Speaker 1: key is, don't let money have you. Don't let it 392 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: become the focus of your life. Don't seek the provision, 393 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: seek the provider. Money is simply a tool to accomplish 394 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: your destiny to me and to advance His kingdom. Victoria 395 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: and I have big dreams in our hearts. It's going 396 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: to take millions of dollars to do what's on the inside. 397 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: These are dreams not just for ourselves for a bigger 398 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: this or bigger that, but a dream to build orphanages, 399 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: a dream to build medical clinics. I can't do that 400 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: with a limited lacking. God doesn't want me to have 401 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: too much mentality. I realize my father owns it all. 402 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: He makes streets out of gold. You are not going 403 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: to bankrupt heaven by believing for an abundant life. All 404 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: God has to do is go pick up some pavement 405 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: and give it to you. When you have this abundant mentality, 406 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: you have a desire to advance the kingdom. God will 407 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: lavish you with good things. He will open up the 408 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: doors of his sky vaults to where you not only 409 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: accomplish your dreams, but you can help be a blessing 410 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: to the world. My prayer for you is found in 411 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: Deuteronomy one to eleven, says, may the Lord, God of 412 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: your fathers increase you a thousand times more than you are. 413 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: Can you receive that into your spirit, a thousand times 414 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: more favor, a thousand times more resources, a thousand times 415 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: more income. Most of the time our thinking goes telt. 416 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: It's because we've been hanging out with that skinny goat 417 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: too long. It's time to cut him loose. It's time 418 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: to have a fatted calf mentality. God is about to 419 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: press some things down. He's about to make room for 420 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: more of his increase. Now get up every morning, say Lord, 421 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: I want to thank you that you're opening up your 422 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: sky vaults today, raining down favor, lavishing me with good things. 423 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: If you'll have this abundant mentality, I believe and declare 424 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: you won't live in the land of just enough nor 425 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: the land of barely enough. But you're coming into the 426 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: land of more than enough, overflow and abundant life. In Jesus' name, 427 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: if you receive it, can you say him in today? Well, 428 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: we never like to oppose our broadcast without giving you 429 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 430 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, I'll 431 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 432 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: you my lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that 433 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in 434 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: a good Bible based church. Keep God first place. He's 435 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: going to take your places that you've never dreamed of. 436 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: Sometimes the stresses of life can feel like you're just 437 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: getting by. God wants to bless us, But how do 438 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 2: you move from barely enough to just enough to more 439 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 2: than enough. 440 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: We all face difficulties and people that are hard to 441 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: deal with.

Much of our frustration is we're trying 444 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: to control things that we can't control, letting things stress 445 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: us that don't have to.
