Just saw it.

Psychosomatic is released now.

I'm trying to base.

Let me tell you what it was.

apparent

All right, we're going to deal with the second part of the message from last week, which it was intitle tithing is a heart matter. It's hard matter. It's a heart issue a man. I'm so couple things I want everybody stand up. We going to read are foundational scripture. And then do our confession of Faith. Amen. So are foundational scripture comes from 3rd. John the third letter John and verse is only one chapter so its first number to and let's read that together. It says beloved. I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers summertime below. I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prosper and so we have our confession of faith. We want to say our confession of faith in this is important because as we lay down that Foundation of faith, we have to keep that word in this we have to keep it in it so that when trials and tribulations come we can go back to the word of God Amen. So repeat this after me I am not move. By what I see or by what I feel.

I am moved by what I believe.

I believe the word of God. The victory is mine. I have it now. And I can see it through the my face. In Jesus name. Amen. Maybe see them. Alright, so we're talking about. Last week with weed out a little bit about how God uses and so I just want to remind you that when we talk about to prosper it means to Excel or to go to the highest place in anything. And so remember God is not looking for us to be mediocre. He's looking for us to be the best. Amen. And so wherever you do wherever you go you up, you're always represent in God Amen and God wants you to be the best a man the best of everything the head and not to tell Matt fight before you go. Can you go back to are foundational scripture just real quick. I want to show you something in that foundational scriptures. Remember God says I pray that you prosper. So be the best right be the best in all things in your head, right? And as your soul Prosper now something I want I want to point out our soul. So for those of you who know, and if you don't know so weird Parts there's three components to each and everyone of us. There's a spirit the soul in the flesh or the body. Amen. So when we speak of the Soul were talking about the things that control the flesh were talking about, you know, our mind our emotions things like that. And so what God said, I want you to be the best when it comes to your mind. Amen. I want your mind to prosper. I want your you to be solid in your emotions, you know, it's a windy speaking to us. He said when he uses the word Soul underneath soul is your mind and in your emotions and and and under that is your physical component which deals with how you act and what you say amen and so it starts up here. That's why the Bible talks to us about renewing your mind and Renewing Your Mind. So he he needs us to have our mine at the top of our game. Does that make sense? Alright, so when we when we look at this God is talking about the whole manhole woman. Everything about is not we're going we're focusing. I will get to the other two but he's talked about everything about it. We can't be financially well and sick mentally and then we can't be doing well mentally and broke a man. So so God is looking for us to be the whole man or woman. Does that make sense? It's looking at this and when you say that confession of Faith, it's all about. I'm asking you to show me. How be the best man. I want to be the best in everything that you have planned and purpose for me. Okay, and so last week if I can just do a little review I didn't work this out we go back to what's is a

Tithing is a heart issue. I might be controlling it. So if I mess up, all right, so last week we talked about God and Malachi chapter 1 and 2 about chapter 1 verse to talk about how God loves us. Remember. I love you. And in in one of the things that you can never ever forget no matter what you going through no matter how bad the situation is no matter what the circumstances are around. I will always love you and he still loves you man. We can mess up really bad, but God still loves her brother. When can you turn the air on please? So when you know, the guy that says hey, I love you. No matter what and then remember last week that the children of Israel were always question that will show me how you love me. And that's some of us because if we look at that cert our current situation, sometimes it would think you would think that God doesn't love us or why would we be in these situations or circumstances? But that's why we don't believe what we feel and what we see we always believe what the word of God says and When God says, I love you, he doesn't change. All right, so sometimes and I walk on a daily basis. We question god goddess and I love you. I got the I got the best for you. I want you. I want you to be the head and not to tell me you're looking at your current situation as in I don't see that guy. I don't see what you're saying. But he still saying trust me look at my word don't look at your situation because I'm going to work out whatever it is that I have plan and purpose for you if you want me to make sense and that's really important because once this word gets in your spirit remember earlier a couple weeks ago we talked about how the word gets in your spirit and then Satan comes along he tries to snatch it. I meant I told something sometimes we repeat and repeat and repeat because we want this work to take Route now when when certain situations, it can't snatches, you know, we might lean but we're not going to break. See what that word is rooted in you some come up and it's going to break you to pieces. What were called to be the head and not the tail? Are you with me? Alright, so so we we found out last week that God bless the children of Israel always questioning God and then Malachi. 1:6. God says, okay, if you call me your father, where is my honor? Right. Where is it? Where are you showing me that you are honoring me? You're not the best to me that's not honor your bringing. Whatever is left over or you're bringing whatever you have. That's not what I asked for. So you can't be honoring God unless you bring your best does that mean so now if I'm if I'm saying God is my father. He loves me. I'm going to do the best for you. Imma bring him the best. I'm going to live my life so that he's pleased with the life that he said that he that he sees in me. Does that make sense already? So so now. It said and then he wanted to do Toronto me says I guess for you that I hit that Okay. so in Deuteronomy chapter 26 He talks about when you enter the land. The Lord God is giving us a special possession and you have conquered it and settle there now. Here's the deal. I want to remind us everything that they ask God for he wants to give it to you, but he ain't just going to give it to you without you having to fight for some stuff. Let me let me go over here because sometimes with young people they forget they got a fight. They are looking for stuff to be handed to them as soon so that that fight is in your mind. There's no the battle starts up here when God wants to bless. You say no come and put all kind of stuff in your mind and make you think that's not what God wants for you or make it look like this is not what God is playing the purpose for so I tell you the Bible says you have to come through whatever you're going through in order for you to obtain the blessing that God has for you. Does that make sense? It's so he's not going to let you just come in and just continue to bless you and bless you and take care of you without you taking care of some stuff you're so Hey man, it's so it's really important that we understand that God loves us. He wants to bless us. But sometimes when we walk into our destiny walking to the blessings that God has we got to do some stuff for myself.

Everyone says what he told the children of Israel you have you have to conquer it and then you can settle in

and we wonder why.

There's some things that we have in Concord up here. This is where Satan is attacking. He's not attacking us in our spirit. Jesus already paid the price for that. He's attacking us here. And this is where the battle with this is worked out is this is where anger is this is where frustration is. It's all up here. Does that make sense? Alright, the first pope poodles for leased property you harvest into a basket to bring to the designated place of worship the place of God. The Lord has chosen for you now again last week I told you my story about

Well, I kind of Urban Farmer. Okay, I'm back porch Farm. Okay.

Don't y'all hate? I was looking at my table, but Tomatoes as I was leaving I was like hell, yeah, they like we're ripening or you going to eat us. I'm like, I'll be back. Okay, but anyway, he says take the first fruit. The first fruit whatever God has blessed you with now and we going to see you got to take the best off the top and give it to God.

That's how you honor him. That's how you worship him when you take the best that you have and give it to him and he's not asking for it all just for a little bit. Okay. Does that make sense? Okay, let's go. All right, so go to Pastor Williams, he's in charge. What are you saying? There was this this is when we get into giving to God is a hardest. So what are you saying is when you give to God don't give begrudgingly. Don't give like I got to do this. You know what he said. Wait a minute. Think about if God has gave me $1. And he's only asking for a dime. I get the key $0.90. So Lord, I am so grateful. I thank you that the dollar that you allowed me to have your only asking for a dime and I want to give you this from my heart. You're the one saying that changes the game on things it changes for me and change the game on it because now I begin to realize when I'm given to God I want to give out of my love and my worship to him. I don't want to give them cuz they say in the church. You supposed to give 10% and you got to do it or you or Heathen and this that nothing although it's not about that. Man, whether you give or not I know what God has done for me and when I read the scripture, he says if you if I'm your guy where's my honor? That's why I said Lord. I want to honor you man. If you only give me a dime, I'm going to give him a penny and you know, God can do more that Penny than you can do with a million dollars. Amen it so we went looking for all of this stuff, but got it said just on early right? Where you at with what you have with your best. That's a heart issue. That's a straight-up heart issue. Where is your heart when it comes to your worship when it comes to your relationship with God now, I will tell you and being transparent it took me awhile before I realized that I was just being religious. I'm being honest I grew up in Southern Baptist Church. They taught me because that's what you supposed to do. And actually they told me to give you a time because the church needs it to do a b c d and then whatever that happens to be but more importantly they said you know what we need to keep building the church and doing stuff than what I didn't hear though, and they may have told me this they never told me that we needed to go out and bring in people to the kingdom of God. That's what we do with it. Now they may have told me that but I didn't hear that. So be careful with what you hear as well. I'm telling you when you give your your ties and will learn about that into this ministry. It's going to be used to go out and bring other people in. amen Does that make sense? Okay. Alright keep going cuz I got to get to the message this week. Okay, we'll take the basket from your hand and said it before the altar of the Lord your God. Keep going. By the way, let me let me just say this. So I'm talking to Tom who's our Tech guy. He says Pastor the projected you have is only a hundred lumens the brightness of it is not bright enough. So we need to get a bigger Pride or projector thing. Is that right time when more lumens so I'm asking the church to be in prayer that we can get some cuz I want anybody be able to see that and when I'm putting the message yet, it looks powerful to me when I see it on the screen. That's damn right it so I know y'all are like I can't really see that but don't let that distract. You just kidding. We going to get us a luminous thing. You know, that that makes it more clear ancestor. Jacob was a Wandering aramean are men who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt. His family arrived a few in number but in Egypt that became a large imagination keep going I'm going to eat Gyptian suppressant humiliated Us by making us their slaves We Cried Out to the Lord the god of our ancestors. Heher Dark Rising Star heart-shaped hole in the person. I want to see this kind of a side note no matter what you going through God hears you. Okay, and this is the stuff that we got to remind each other. Yeah, it doesn't look like he showed up when you wanted them to show up but he is in the place. Alright? Okay, keep going. the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a powerful arm with overwhelming touring with miraculous signs and wonders now, this is important because when you look back over your life for a second look at where you were and where God has brought you to

Think about the stuff you got yourself caught up in. And because God is true to his word. He said Yuri crowd not let me let me just say me when I get myself in some stuff the first one. I'm crying out to his God and he always delivers me cuz I wouldn't be here today A man if he didn't pull me out of that mess. I got myself in a man. And so what I'm saying to you always know If He Did It Before He'll Do It Again? Amen If He Did It Before He'll Do It Again and the reason is is because he loves us that never changes. We can be West Coast a man but God loves for us never change it so he took the children of Israel and took him out of slavery in Egypt and brought them across. He did some mighty things to make sure that they understood it was God and not been doing it and sometimes God will do some mighty things in your life to let you know it's him moving and not you doing this and when you come out of that can look back and say I don't know how it happened, but I'm going to praise God anyhow, Hey man, I'm a praise God. I don't know what he did or how it happened and I dare not think I did it so that I can give him all the glory and so when you come in this is why he has worship service so I can tell somebody about the goodness of Jesus. Let me tell you God did in my life. You can't hold it in it becomes like fire. Shut up in your phone when God delivers you from something when he's you know, he's in there. You can't have fun. You can keep something like that inside of you. Amen. You just get excited. But let me tell you that you can't even speak that language. Are they speaking one language in my God is good, you know crystals and people get it. Hey, man, he said he brought us to this place and gave us this land flowing with milk and Hunt not that we deserve it, but that he loves us. Amen. God loves you. Tell you later. God loves you. You know yo yo, yo, your friends might think you jacked up but God loves you. Amen situations may not be right for you. But God loves you. Tell him God loves you. God loves you. You got to remember that. God loves you in the midst of your storm. God loves you. Not not answer. He fixes it, bro. You ended you got to remember God loves you. So he says he brought us to this place and gave us to keep going.

Say she got excited because now oh Lord, I have brought you the force first portion of the Harvest. You have given me from the ground then place the produce before the Lord your God and bout to the ground and worship him so Deliverance, he realizes God you brought me through. You bless me. I want to give you the first. What you bless me with a man. Keep going. He says that the word you may go and do what have a party have a party. He says because of all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household remember to include preachers and the foreigners living among you in the celebration the Levites were the preachers of the day just so you all know. I'm not making this up a man the Levites were the preachers. Amen. You put the key in there, but I thought that would be a little too much enough. Alright, keep going. Third-year you must offer special tide. That was the first time we see the word ties a tie. A tide of the crop in this year of the special tide. You must give your tattoo the kid know that it wouldn't say. No, but not only and I don't have time to get into why did the Levites but also the foreigners the orphans and widows so that they will have enough to eat.

So you see the tire that supposed to be used to bless people. Amen. The tide comes in. So my 10% comes in so it can be used to help somebody who's in need a man. So God is saying if you coming I'm going to be able to take care of some folks. Some folks who going through who may not know who Jesus is. Amen. I'm going to take care of the Levi to her who are laboring in the world and I'm giving you all they got the foreigners who don't know God the orphans young people children who have been lost a moms and dads Because of situations and circumstances and widows and widowers people lost their Partners due to the fact they taking them home. Amen, alright, keep going. You must be clear in the presence of the Lord your God. I have taken the Secret gift from my house and giving it to the Levites foreigners orphans and widows. Just as you commanded me. I have not violated or forgotten any of your plans. a man haven't forgotten God that I'm supposed to give you my best.

I'm not going to let work get in my way of giving you my best. I'm not going to let people get in the way of you giving my back. I'm not going to let my situation get in the way of giving you my best right where I'm at Lord. I'm going to give you my best. I'm going to give you my best praise. Imma give you my best worship. If I only got up a dollar. I'm going to give you a dime. Cuz I want to give you my best cuz I remember how much you love me and what you have done for me. And I know that what you when I give it to you. I don't from my heart. You're going to take it and bless somebody else. amen Hit me with the next. It says I have not eaten any of it while in the morning. I have not handle it while I was ceremony on clean and I have not offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the Lord my God and have done everything you commanding me Lord. I'm not bringing you less than my best.

Does that make sense? What's happening now is we're giving God the leftovers and we have bought into here's the deal man. Let me tell you we have bought into this and I'm going to tell you I did it too. I'm farming to what the world says and the world says you got take care of your bills first and you got to do all that before you give God his.

Was it at the reality when I should be getting that's why I said I can't I can't believe what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing and what I'm feeling because it doesn't line up with the word of God. When I learn to operate the way God has set this thing up. He takes care of all the bills. I don't know if you've ever experienced a bill getting paid and you don't know how. Are you don't you know, you didn't have enough money and God took care of that thing. Come on. Y'all somebody's here is our got a testimony to that. Amen. This is what I'm talking about it. So I start fighting that's why he talks about the battles in the mind because I start thinking. Oh, well, let me pay this and let me do this and then whatever I have left over imma give to God Would guess who who know not to play that game Uncle Sam? Uncle Sam knows that if he play that game with you he won't get his so what does he do take his off the top before you get it he takes his Madonna said I'm not going to force you to do it. I want you to do it out of love for me. So it's going to require action on my part to say you know, what I'm going to be obedient to God because I love God, but I know what he's done for me and I'm going to give him my best. So is a side note it will get to those people say well Pastor. Do you tithe off the growth of the net?

Write somebody answer the question because God gave you all of it. Uncle Sam knows how much you got he taking his taxes off the gross you don't say Uncle Sam taking his taxes off your net a man hold on and let me pay all of this first and then you can text the rest so you give God your tide on the right and bless your people or to our ancestors to give us a land flowing with milk and honey. Keep going Today the Lord has commanded you to be all these decrees and regulations. So be careful. Be careful. Yeah, cuz when you hear this and there's a reason everybody is here when you hear this now, there's accountability.

Be careful the bathing my whole Harley. All right, keep going. You have the clear today that the Lord is your God how many of us say I love the Lord? He's my God. That's my man.

God is my know. I'm I'm claiming that. I ain't worried about whatever y'all worried about because God could do for me what none of y'all could do a man. So I ain't worried about what you think or feel. Amen. I know who is there for me amen? No offense, but I'm just keeping it real and you have promised to walk in his ways and to tobay his decrees commands and regulations and to do everything. He tells us now. Here's the deal. This is why if he says to you if that's up to you. I'm going to heal you but I need you to walk around the building 7 times. What you going to do?

Right. If God says I will save you if you just believe by faith that Jesus Christ is who he says he could what you going to do. So God says give me 10% of what I give to you. And I will take care of all this other stuff. What you going to do? So why are we fighting with with this issue of time? Okay. I'm just going to put it out there and ask for you guys to pray about it. Think about what I'm going to tell you if God said it in one area and I believe it I'm going to leave the whole thing. A man, does that make sense? Alright, keep going. The Lord Verse 18 the Lord has declared today that you are his people his own special treasure just as he promised and that you must obey all this command the problem is this you can't have God in the world 2.

you eat all in that would be that would be like me married to my wife and then having on the side She ain't having it a man marriage is all in a man. So your relationship with God is already are you with me? Alright, keep going. And if you do he will set you high above a high above all the other nations. He has made then you will receive praise honor and renowned. You will be a nation. That is Holy to the Lord your God just as he promised. God is looking to make us the head and not to tell you. In every area of Our Lives. Do y'all know man? God wants his children to be on top of everything finances Health roulette. He wants his children on top of everything. That means you and me. He wants us on top. Are you with me? Let me can I be up I keep going back to because I believe for 30 years what I heard from the world. I want when I read this and when I begin to when the Holy Spirit begin to open up my understanding to this it was so foreign to me. It did not make sense. It did not connect. I was like, I don't know why I'm fighting it. And he said you find them is cuz all your flesh nose and all your phone knows is what the world is been telling. What's your spirit? Here's this and your spirit is now saying follow after God and your flesh and your phone said no. This is what I know. It's so internally we have battles up here about what to do when we're are spare wants to do right thing. And our flesh is fighting it that's what's going on with most of us are fighting up here now on the outside we look okay. How you doing up here that, you know nothing about because for so many years. I've heard these things and now my spirit is showing me this thing and I'm having a decision to make and the spirit is in mature. I saw the flash keeps trying to beat down the spirit.

Does that make sense?

It's so I'm roaring. in my own mind about doing the things of God, but I want all the blessings of God. I want everything that he has for me. But I'm boring in terms of following him cuz my soul is saying no cuz that's where my mind is. And God has told me in the New Testament to renew your mind. And my spirit is trying to rise up, but my friend keeps trying to beat it down. Are you with me? so God says he wants to set me on high, but I keep acting like I only belong down here.

Are you with me?

Hit me with the next one. So I learned a have a attitude of gratitude and I know that's it's a saying that everybody uses but for a minute stop for a second and think about it when it comes to God. Are you grateful?

Stop for second that even if things ain't the way you want them to be. Can you say God I thank you. I'm grateful. I still have some stuff. I got a roof over my head and clothes on my back and shoes on my feet. I'm great. It's so now my attitude switches because I need the fight dude of the Bible says our weapons are not carnal but their weapons of spiritual warfare. And so now I'm beginning to think wait. I need to line up with the Holy Spirit and and moving to that direction. So I know God says, thank be grateful for what you have. So I'm learning to have an attitude of gratitude.

Are you with me? So now you can't come up to me complaining too much. Because I'm going to remind you about God is already done. Are you with me? You can't put you can't help me Focus too much on what the world is doing because my spirit says go back and look at what God is saying. Because here's what the world was doing his what Satan wants to do. He wants me to get back and caught up and what's over here and miss my blessing because Donna said I need you to follow me over here.

Are you with me?

Tell your neighbor have an attitude. Of gratitude. Alright, so here's the deal guy wants 10% of your income, but he wants a hundred percent of your heart.

He wants a hundred percent of your heart. He only wants 10% of your income. But he don't even need the income. He desires the heart are you with me? Tell your neighbor where's your heart at?

You know what? I realize cuz I'm in financial services and I deal with People's Finance in July. I say if you show me your credit card statement. Or your checkbook I could tell you where your heart is.

Your heart is where we spend your money.

I can I can just say Bring It On.

Now she can say my heart is Best Buy's or Home Depot. You know, that is it works both ways a credit card statements.

all of them Christopher and look at where you spend most of your money. Seriously, it's a easy exercise. Not one of us. Not a lot of us want to do it because that's a reality check a man. But if you do it, you'll see where your heart is. And now here's the thing. You got a battle trying to justify. Why you do what you do? Cuz your mind was it what he is why I do what I do yours why I need I did stop. That's why your heart is amen. Alright, keep going. So definition of the word tide that comes from the word boxer which means the 10th or 10th of portion or a 10% So it's high this 10 10% Amen.

Chapter 3 and I want you to I want you to work with work with me as we go through this * 26. He says I'm the Lord and I do not change say that I am the Lord I do not change. Now. You got it. This won't make sense. Unless you get grass that concept God is God and he don't change. Okay. Freezing up there. Can you just turn it black button back to zero? I'm sorry. I apologize. I got it to the left. There you go. Alright, sorry about that. I was excited and not already the store 900 is what he's talking about why he did some things that when he did not what I take from. This is the reason I'm here is because he's got it he don't change. That's the reason I'm still here because by right because of what I've done and you look back over my life and you really look through the cracks and crevices of what I've done you will see some some ungodly stuff and by right I should be there. I'm just being honest with you.

but because of who God is you're here, and I'm here. Amen. Cuz he don't change go to the next one. He says every since the days of your ancestors, you have scoring my decrees and Phil to a bathing now return to me and I will return to you said the Lord of Heaven's Army, but you asked how can we return we have never gone away now is the human nature thing. We're always questioning God. What you talking about? I've been in church all my life what you mean return to you. I've been doing this and doing that for the church. Amen to the question always be when I always and when I see this how arrogant am I When God says come back then I said what you mean.

He said Return to me and I will return to you but you asked how can we return when we have never gone away?

Not enough were really honest. Think about it. How much time do we give to God? We do a lot of stuff.

We will you please a lot of other people. Where is Bob with a lot of things? but when it comes to God What time are we really giving him? And if you have to stop and think about it, and when I have to stop and think about it and not justify or got to go to job and get my business. I got this cool down to it. I choose on a daily basis where I spend my time.

Think about it. You choose where you spend your time? You choose what you do? You don't understand. I got to go to work you choose to go to work. I got to pay my bills you choose to make them bills. I choose to do you choose a man? Why I'm too busy to do this, that's a choice. You got to say and return to me and I'll return to you. Amen. Keep going. We almost done y'all hanging out with me. What's the question do people cheat God?

In the King James says will a man rob God?

It's a shame people cheat God and he says you cheated me but you asked what do you mean? When did we ever cheat you and he said he said you have cheated me of the ties and offering do to me.

Do you know the first? 10% of anything God blesses you with belongs to him. That's his it ain't yours? Are you keep spinning? What's his? He said you cheat me you said I don't understand why you treat me. I just my money I earned at work. Okay, I always say this cuz the Holy Spirit gave this to me then I'm going to take my Airway you try breathing.

Usually right but because God is who he is. He loves us he loves us to do but what kind of warning do we need any of us up? I just want us to know the truth. Okay, I want us to know the truth. He says some people cheat card yet. You cheated me but you asked what do you mean? When did we ever teach you you a cheap thing of the ties and offering to keep going? He says this thing blew my mind not read this many many years ago. And it is coming to group but through the years. I've been reading it over and over again, and then I'm saying you when I read your under curse for all y'all been cheating me. the whole nation Christians have been cheating God cuz we justify why we won't do and give him what belongs to him man. I got the best reasons in the world. I can come up with some stuff that will blow your mind. Are you don't understand God? I'm on miss this my Ministry up here is the one I used to do. I'm buying books and tapes from and I'm going to be conference is over here. That's what I'm using the money for. He said that ain't your money to use over there. Blew my mind cuz I thought I was doing the right thing. Give God what belongs to God Amen. He says you're under a curse. That's what blew me away. Why is it that I'm struggling and can't get past a certain point you under the curse. That isn't my family is having these problems under a curse and the things that happen the way they're happened under a curse. Because we're not giving God what belongs to God. He says it in the scripture. Keep going. I'm on I'm almost done. Y'all stay with he says bring all the tithes into the storehouse so that they'll be enough food in the temple if you do so check this out. I will open the windows of Heaven for you.
