Tap Into The Power To Get Wealth In 2024

So many people ask God for things that he is not going to give them. And today I'm telling you, stop asking God for money. Stop praying for money for your rent. Stop praying for money for your car payment. Stop praying for money for your retirement. Stop asking God to give you money. Stop asking God to give you wealth. Why am I saying that? Because two things. Number one, you can't do God's part. Number two, he won't do yours. The children of Israel were getting ready to go into the promised land after coming out of Egypt. And this is what Moses wrote. Deuteronomy, chapter 8, verses 11 through 18. It says, Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God in the keeping of his commandments and his judgments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. Lest when thou hast eaten and aren't full and has built goodly houses and dwelt therein, and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied.

And all that thou hast is multiplied, then in thine heart, then thine heart be lifted up. And thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt and from the house of bondage, who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents and scorpions and drought, and there was no water. Who brought thee. For who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint? Who fl. Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, that he might prove thee to do thee good in thy latter end. And thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is he that giveth thee the power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers. As it is this day, the scripture says God told the children of Israel, don't make the mistake of thinking you did this thing by yourself. He said, God is the one that gave you the power to get wealth. Now.

God gives us wealth in the same sense that he gives us food to eat. But he doesn't put it on my fork and stick it in my mouth.

How many are tracking? So, yeah, yeah, yeah. God feeds us. Yeah, God takes care of us. But God said, I'm going to give you the power to get wealth. I'm not going to give you the thing I gave you the power to get. That's why I gave you the power to get it. But don't forget that I gave you the power to get it. And I didn't give you the power to get it just so you could have it. I didn't give you the power to get it just so you could drive a new nice chariot or car depending on the age in which you live. I didn't give it to you just so you could wear nice clothes or live in a nice house. The reason I gave you the power to get wealth is so that I could establish my covenant, which I swear to your fathers God said, I am giving you the power to get wealth because of me, not because of you.

What is a covenant anyway? What is a covenant? Yeah. So it's so interesting that we read all these words in the Bible. We don't know what they mean and yet we don't look them up. Don't we want to know? Don't we care? What is a covenant? Well, the word covenant means to cut. Which is kind of fascinating in itself, isn't it, that the word covenant means to cut. Like what am I cutting? Well, when two people got ready to enter into covenant, they would both bring an animal. They would kill the animal. They would cut the animal in pieces. They would stand back to back and they would walk in a circle around those animals and come back face to face. They would take a knife in their left hand and cut their right hands. They would put their hands together, they would bind their hands together with a rope. They would exchange blood. They would become blood brothers or they would establish a blood covenant. They would exchange covenant names. Do you realize that this is why you ever go to a wedding and they have the bride and the groom put their hands together, they put a napkin over it, that's what that's a picture of. It's a picture of the covenant. So did you ever wonder why the wife takes the husband's name? Because that's part of the covenant. You're not a part of your father's house now. You are one with your new spouse. Right. And so you say, Myron. I don't. So what does cutting have to do with this? Well, the reason they cut up the animals is so that when they walked around those animals, they were looking at the brutality of the death of those animals. And then they exchanged covenant vows. I'm going to give everything I have. I'm going to give my resources, my time, my effort, my energy, my wealth, even my life if necessary to protect you and yours. If I don't keep my word to you, may what happened to this animal happen to me.

And so when God Said I'm doing it to establish my covenant. God is literally protecting his own existence because of the covenant that he gave to Abram. Go, go. Read Genesis, chapter 12, verse number verse the first couple of verses. When God gave Abram something he couldn't get himself and blessed him in ways he couldn't bless himself and took him places he couldn't take himself and took the source of his shame and made it the source of his fame. If God can do that with Abraham, he can do that with you. In fact, the Scripture tells us In Galatians, chapter two, at the end of chapter two, I think it's verse 28 or 29, it says that.

We are the seed of Abraham by faith in Christ Jesus. That does not mean that people who believe in Christ are replacing the Jews. That's not what that means.

It means that people who believe in Christ are grafted into the Hebrew tree. That's a totally different conversation. And God said, I gave you the power to get wealth to keep my covenant with your fathers because I gave my word. So don't forget that. Now, there are a whole lot of different conversations we can have.

Around this subject of God giving us power to get wealth. Cause the whole emphasis of the chapter is this. Don't forget that God is the one that gave you the power. Don't think for a half a second that you did this all by yourself. Like, it's like I say very, very often when I wake up in the morning. By the time I get downstairs, I feel like I've opened so many gifts. How could I be anything but grateful? I open my eyes and I can see, and I know how to open my eyes, and I know how to make myself look, but I don't know how to make myself see. Neither do you. That's a gift, right? I stand up. I know how to make myself stand up. But I don't know how to make my legs hold me. It's a gift. Oh, but every good thing that we have is a gift. Here's what it says. Every gift, every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. So don't make the mistake of thinking that the good stuff in your life is because you're so good.

The good stuff in your life and the good stuff in my life is because he's so good. Let's don't get that part twisted. And what's really interesting is, you know, there's oftentimes found in the realm of Christianity, a lot of pride around. I'm a Christian. But it says, every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there's no variableness, neither shadow of turning. You know what it says right after that? Of his own will begat he us. He didn't beget me of my will. I didn't choose God. I didn't give my life to Jesus. Jesus gave his life for me.

I didn't choose God. I didn't find. When I found God, I didn't find God. I wasn't looking for him. He found me. I was the lost sheep.

Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth. I didn't do that. I hadn't. I know people don't like when I say this. I didn't have anything to do with it any more than your children had something to do with them being born.

Maybe that's why it's called born again, something God does. Okay, we could talk about all that.

But I want to draw our attention to this phrase. The power to get wealth. What is that? What is the power to get wealth?

Do some people have this power and other people don't?

Or do just some people know how to use this power and other people don't? Or maybe there are just some people who know how to use the power and are willing to use the power and other people aren't. What is this power to get wealth? There are five things I want to bring to your attention this morning about the power to get wealth and where it lies. The power to get wealth is the power to subject yourself to your purpose.

To your purpose. You were created for a reason.

If you are not subjected to that reason, you are wasting your life.

There is no success apart from purpose. Now, there may be money apart from purpose, but there's no success.

There may be wealth apart from purpose, but there's no success. But the greatest wealth that you will ever find in your life, financial wealth and fulfillment. Wealth is going to be in subjecting yourself to your purpose. Like, if I was gonna choose what Myron's gonna do with Myron's life, I would not have chosen this.

I wouldn't have been smart enough to choose this. I wouldn't have said, well, this. I got a great idea. I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna teach people business based on the Bible so the business people can be mad at me for talking about the Bible. And so the Bible people can be mad at me for talking about the business.

Well.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't like. Who's gonna come up with that right? I just allowed myself to be yielded every day, day by day, to whatever he wants me to do because he made me. And he made me for him. He didn't make me for me. I get the benefits of being made for him as long as I'm yielded to him. But this ain't. I am not my own. What does it say in Second Corinthians? We are bought with a price. I'm not my own. I'm not. I don't own me.

I'm yielded to the God of the universe because of my faith in the death, burial and resurrection of his son. So nobody's confused what I'm talking about. I don't want to be all generic and just talk about God. I want you all to understand who I'm talking about. But I'm married. I don't believe that. Well, then you do. You boo. Let me know how it turns out for you 100 years from now.

The power to subject to your purpose. And here's what's really interesting. You're gonna find your purpose. And you've heard me say this before, you're gonna find your purpose at the intersection of your passion and your proficiency.

The God gave you. If you're yielded to God, he gave you a desire to do something, and he put that desire in you. He put a bent in you for a specific thing. Like stuff interests me that don't interest other people. Why? Because in order for them to fulfill their purpose, they don't need to be interested in that.

But in order for me to fulfill my purpose, I do. And there's stuff other people are interested in. I'm like, I don't understand why they care. I don't understand why they care. I like, I would never. Not only do I not care, I have never cared. I will never care. I don't care who won the game. I don't want to watch the game.

I don't want to spend 15 minutes talking about who won the game and how they won the game. I just don't care. I'm not saying it's wrong. It just ain't part of my purpose.

I don't care. I wouldn't care if I had more time to care. Maybe.

But I'm too focused on what I'm doing that matters to me and mine that I can't care. I hate small talk. Like I hate it. It's like I don't Want to know? I don't want to have a conversation about what was on the news. I don't care. On the bad news channels. Which ones are the. All of them.

Cnn, constantly negative news. Slies of Fox. Always been critical. They're all bad. I'm watching. I don't care. You don't care what's going on in the world? No, it's not that. I don't care what's going on in the world. I don't care about what's going on in the world enough to let it distract me from what's going on in my world.

I have to be subjected to my purpose. And like.

I've been studying the Bible for decades and I'm. I'm enamored by how amazingly accurate and truthful it is. It's not just true, it's truth. There's a difference in what's true and what's truth. What's true is dynamic and can change. But what's truth is static and never changes. Right? True. It's true. We're here at MG Studios right now. That's true. It's not truth. Because when I go to bed tonight, I ain't gonna go to bed here. So something can be true and not be truth. Everything that's true is not truth, but everything that's truth is true.

And so I'm gonna be yielded to my purpose. I love studying the Bible because it's been my guidebook since I was 16 years old. And I'm just blown away by how accurate it is. I had one of my friends, Brian Bowman, my hole in one. My hole in one, homie. That's what I call him because he was with me the day I got my only hole in one ever in golf. And yes, I'm saying it on YouTube so all the whole world can know I have a hole in one.

And me and Brian Bowman, we were playing golf and he's asked me the same question several times. He's like, myron, he says, you have a sense of certainty unlike any human I've ever met. Do you teach that? I said, no, I don't teach it. But I know where it comes from. He says, where? I said, I got this book.

And it's filled with conditional promises.

And they're like, if, then go to statements. And it says, if you do this, you can expect this. And I've just been doing that since I was 16, 17 years old, and it still works. And so I know the outcome before I put the input in. I don't have to wonder if it's going to work. I know it's going to work because all work works how you know, all works because the wisest, wealthiest man who ever lived said, in all labor there is profit. So when it feels like it's not working, it's working.

But how do you know it's working? Well, if it ain't working for me, it's working on me.

And if I become the person who will let it work on me until I become the person for whom it can work, eventually it will work for me. And anybody who knows me knows that it has not always worked for me. It worked on me for decades. Some of you are like, I don't have decades. You don't have anything but decades if you keep on living.

And the decades are gonna go by whether you, like, learn the thing, learn how to do the thing, yield yourself to the purpose or not.

So the power to subject yourself to your purpose is the beginning of the power to create wealth, because wealth that's outside of your purpose is not gonna be fulfilling anyway. Like, I could make money with an E commerce store. And there's nothing wrong with an E commerce store. I mean, I know some really, really rich people who have e commerce and, like, build e commerce businesses. And so back in the days when I used to chase the money in entrepreneurship and I saw people have an E commerce store, well, this person's doing this to me. So I'm going to have an E commerce store. This person's doing apps. Oh, I'm going to learn how to build an app. Oh, this person's doing. I said, this is dumb. I don't like any of this stuff. There's one dude like, yeah, I just went to I should not confess my sins on YouTube. So now y' all gonna know who y' all dealing with. This was probably seven, eight years ago when I was lost in the sauce and looking for my bounce back, right? I saw this guy, he was making money. Maybe it was a woman, somebody online making money, going to Dollar Tree and Dollar General and buying stuff in bulk and then selling it on Amazon for a markup price. I'm like, I got enough money to go to Dollar Store. And Dollar Tree. I went to Dollar Store, loaded up on all this Scooby Doo shower gel and all this other stuff. Then I had to buy these containers and send them to Amazon. Then I had to set up my Amazon FBA account, and then I had to send an inventory on a spreadsheet. And I'm like.

I'm already in the deep end. And I feel like I'm drowning.

And I bought a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff, shipped it off to Amazon, paid Amazon for storage, never sold any of it. Why? It was out in my wheelhouse. Stay in your lane.

So you're going to be subjected to your purpose, but you're also going to have to submit to principles. You're not ever going to work against. Principles win.

It's just how God set it up. Principles. Did you? Here's what he said. Here's what God said. Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God in the keeping of his commandments and his judgments and his statutes which I command thee this day. What is that? That's principles. So we hear a lot of talk about the Ten Commandments. Did you ever notice that half of the Ten Commandments are based on how we're supposed to relate to God and the other half how we're supposed to relate to people?

Isn't that fascinating? Right? You say? Myron, what are you saying? I'm saying like the principles already do what the principles do. I like to think of principles because I'm a geeky, sciencey kind of a guy who likes geeky stuff and science and like.

Experiments.

Principles are God's automation.

So God set up principles to automatically do what principles automatically do. And they were set up to do that before you got here. And they were set up to do that before I got here. So if you work with principles, principles will work for you. If you work against principles, principles will work against you. That is a battle you cannot win. How many are tracking? So what we have to do is we have to figure out how can I yield to the principles so that the principles work for me instead of principles working against me? And so I'm going to submit two principles. I'm going to submit to the principle of honesty and telling the truth and not in over inflating the promises of my offer. How many are tracking? I'm going to submit to the principle of. Of.

Kindness. Boy, that'd be a good one for people in 2024.

And I'll be honest with you, I am not a nice person.

Why is that funny? I guess that was. No, I'm keeping it real. I'm not nice at all. But I'm very kind. And there's a difference between kind and nice, right? Kind is treating people with care and dignity.

And love and honor and respect. Nice is.

I'll just tell you whatever makes you feel good, even if it's a lie. Like I am not nice.

If you ask me a question. Okay, if you don't believe that I'm not nice, take my. Make more offers, challenge and go into a drunkalog.

This is drunk a lot. Well, my question is. The other day I was talking to my cousin Ann, and I started this business that we sell this. No, no, no, no. That ain't a question.

Start with my question is and use the question word. When, why, how, what if? And then ask a question. Don't say my question isn't going to a drunk a lot. I'm not nice, but I'm kind of. The Bible commands me to be kind, but it doesn't command me to be nice. In fact, it says, faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful like the kisses of an enemy. That's niceness.

Telling you what you don't want to hear. I mean, telling you what you want to hear to keep from hurting your feelings, even though telling you what you want to hear is going to hurt your future.

Anyway. Submit to the principles. Submit to the principle of diligence. I don't work hard for money, but I work hard so that I can maintain the ability to do hard things. I don't work hard for money, but I do work hard. I work hard because I want to be a person who puts everything I've got into everything I do. Why? Because my mom said, if it ain't worth putting everything you got into, it ain't worth doing at all. Where'd she get that from, the Bible? Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. If it ain't worth putting everything into it, it's probably not worth putting anything into it. I guarantee you'd simplify your life so much just by that principle.

Submit yourself to principles. I think this is the one that a lot of people. Well, this is one of the many that a lot of people struggle with. The power to get wealth is the power to subject yourself to your purpose. It's the power to submit to principles, but it's also the power to serve people.

Myron, how do you. How do you make millions and millions of dollars? You find a. You make yourself findable for a million people, or you find a million people who have a $2 problem that you can solve for a dollar.

Did I say it too fast? Now, if they got a $10 problem and you solve it for a dollar, you'll get rich faster.

And I know that sounds like an oversimplification, but I've got news for all of you. Watching on YouTube and all of you in this room, all of the money that you desire right now and you don't have, it's in somebody else's pocket.

And if you will give them something they desire more than the money, they will happily hand it over. It seems like an oversimplification, but it's not. It's just the way life is. How many all put gas in your car sometime in the last 30 days? Right? Okay. You know why you did that? Because the gas was more important than the money.

And the reason people ain't buying your offer is because your offer is not more important to them than the money. It's more important to you. I know it's your offer, but it ain't important to them. And see, people think that selling is talking people into buying stuff they don't want, don't need, and can't afford. That's one way to do it. I would never do it that way. I believe that selling is uncovering the value of what I have to offer so well that people are happy to exchange the money they have in their pocket for the value I've revealed. So when I uncover the value of what I have to offer so people can see that value, they're like, oh, my goodness, that's $100 worth of value. How much you want for it? $10. Can I have two?

I'm telling you, this is how it really works in real life. But see, here's what happens in entrepreneurship.

We're so vested in the product that we have or the process that we went through to learn how to create the product, that when we talk to the prospect, we talk to them about our product or our process, and they don't care.

I didn't say that. Selling is the value that other people are happy to pay you for. It's uncovering the value of what you have to offer. It's not the value of what you have to offer. It's you uncovering the value. How do you uncover the value of what you have to offer? With your words. You uncover the value of your offer with your words.

But you can't uncover value to someone.

Until you uncover what's valuable to that someone.

And that's why in selling, questions are the answer.

Because people buy for their reasons. Not yours, not mine, theirs. Okay? People buy for their reasons. Got it? They buy because they desire something they value. And I know what you're thinking, Myron. How can I know what they value? I'm going to tell you how to know what people value. So you can only talk to them about that. Y' all ready? Here we go. Where do values come from? The first place we see the values come from. Values come from past perceived voids. Past perceived voids create present perceived values. What does that mean? That means when you think about something that you value right now, oftentimes the things we value now, we value because they were missing in the past.

Like, I like cars. Everybody doesn't like cars. I'm a car guy. People say, I'm not a car guy. Okay, I'm a car guy. I like cars. I like new cars. I like old cars. I like fast cars. I like sophisticated cars. I like hot rods. I just like cars. I spent most of my early adult years flipping cars and fixing cars and painting cars and changing transmissions and engines and cars. I love. I love. I'm a car guy. I don't work on them anymore, but I still like them. I think one of the reasons I like cars so much is because when we were growing up, we never had a new car ever. Like, when I was growing up in my parents house, we never had a new car. We had many cars that had different colored doors.

I'm not exaggerating. We had many cars that we bought because they didn't work. Because my dad knew how to fix them. I learned how to fix cars. But guess what? I like cars. I don't buy cars I have to fix. I don't fix the cars I buy. I don't change the oil, I don't change the tires. Why? I just pay somebody to do it now. But I still like cars. Why? Past perceived voids create present perceived values. Are you tracking? We didn't really live in nice houses. I live in a nice house in a gated community. It's not a mansion, but, you know, it's big enough for me and my wife. It's just us. Unless somebody comes to visit.

Right. Past perceived voids create present perceived values.

Like, I went through, like, I made a whole bunch of money and built a really successful business back in the early 2000s and then like fumbled on the one yard line and lost it all. So here's what I don't like. I don't like being broke. I hate it. In fact, I hated being poor the second time way more than I hated it the first time.

And so I don't like wasting money. Why? Because past perceived voids create present perceived values. Is what I'm saying making sense? Okay. That's the first place. Past perceived voids create present pursued values. Okay. Present perceived virtues Create present perceived values. What does that mean? That means something that I see that's valuable to me today. I see that as value, and I'm willing to pay for it.

So give you an example. If you go back and look at any of our YouTube videos before this one today, this is the first one today. You'll see on my screen, behind on the video, it had this rolling line that just kept rolling up, right? I didn't notice it, but people on my team noticed. And then when they showed it to me, I could not see it. I saw it on every video. I'm like, gotta get rid of the line. Well, there's a camera that you can use to get rid of that line. Oh, what's the camera? Okay, so we ordered the camera. We installed it yesterday. The line is gone. Present perceived virtues. So a present, perceived virtue for me is building my YouTube channel.

That's a present, like, perceived virtue. Like.

This is something I desire right now. I desire to have the best YouTube channel I can possibly have, which means the best quality of content and the best quality of videos possible for me, which is why I've invested without. I'm not. I'm just saying hundreds of thousands of dollars in the studio, and we're not even done yet. And I'm okay with that. Why? Because present perceived virtues create present perceived values. What do you like? What's something that you believe would be good right now? I believe it would be really good for me to have a YouTube channel that impacts people around the world. I mean, we kind of have that, but now it just needs to be more people because more people could benefit from this. So what do I do? Everything that I can do to make the channel better. I do it. You say, why do you keep talking about yourself? I can't speak for anybody else. I know what I value in the present. I know what virtues like. I know what I perceive as good right now.

I like.

So my favorite restaurant in Tampa is Eddie V's Prime Seafood.

So I was leaving the other night, and the valet says, so do you get something different every time you come, or you get the same thing? Oh, I get the same thing. I get the same thing when it comes to my food. I don't like surprises.

Mm. Mm. Waiter comes. What's the best thing on your menu? I don't. They don't know how they gonna know what's the best thing on the menu for me, anyway. I don't do that. Get the same thing. I get a filet butterflied.

Y' all ain't ready for this. Two over easy eggs on top, a side of broccolini, and a side of Brussels sprouts, and just a little cruise of calamari sauce. What?

What?

I love it. I love the experience. I love the food. I love the service. I love the fact that even if they're overbooked and I call them, they'll make room for me.

Everything about it I like. Present, perceived, version. But it costs so much more than eating at McAllister. I love McAllister's too. In fact, every time I go to Eddie V's now, I also go to McAllister's.

And I get. Actually, what I do is I get the valet. I pay the valet. I give him a tip for going to McAllister's and getting me two Savannah chop salads and putting them in my car so I can have them for the next day. So now I got leftover Eddie B's, because I can't eat all that. I can't eat all that I get at Eddy B's. So I got leftover Eddy B's, and I got two Savannah chops. I'm in, like, food heaven.

You say? Myron, why are you talking? Because those are things that I value. So that's how I orchestrate my life. But then the last thing are future perceived visions.

Create present, pursued values. What happens when I combine all three of those?

Like, I'm unstoppable. Like, if I can speak to a. If I can speak to a client's past perceived voids, and I can show them how saying yes to this offer fills up all those empty spaces in the past, gives them all the good stuff in the future, and helps them get. I mean, in the present, and then helps them get to that future outcome they've been pressing for sooner. It's virtually impossible for them to say no to my offer. Why? Because my offer's not about me. My offer's about them. The problem you're having with your offer and the reason you don't have the power to get wealth when you're dealing with people is because you want them to think about you and they don't like you that much. And so until you like them enough to only think about them. See, I love people enough to tell them, like, out of the gate, here's the deal. I'm gonna have an offer for you, and I trust that you're smart. So I'm not gonna try to trick you into buying it. I'm not gonna try to talk you into buying it. You're smart enough to know if it's for you, and if it is, you'll buy it. And you're smart enough to know if it's not. And if it's not, you won't. And either way, I celebrate your genius.

There's no trickery, there's no pressure, there's no tom foolery, there's no anything. It's just like you're an intelligent adult. You know, whether or not this is for you or not, we can be friends whether you say yes or no.

I care about you whether you say yes or no. And I get it. My offer's not for everybody. Neither is yours. See, some of you are so. You're so dependent on other needing other people to need you. You're like a kneader of kneaders. I need needers. What do you like? I don't want to need needers. I'd rather lead leaders.

So the power to get wealth is in the power to serve people. And guess what? Anybody can do that. Doesn't cost anything to serve people. Anybody can do that. We can all do like, we can all do that. We can just seek the good of everybody we come across.

We can all do that. But we're so busy attempting to make them seek good for us that we miss the boat.

How can I make your experience better? And when you're thinking about me, you should be thinking. I mean, it would benefit you to think, how can I make his experience better?

Maybe there's a reason.

God made our eyeballs look outside of us.

Instead of inside of us. Well, the power to get wealth is the power to serve people, but the power to get wealth, lastly but not leastly, is the power to strengthen potential.

What is potential? Have you ever thought of that? What is potential? Potential is the gap between who you are and who you can be. Potential is the gap between what you can do and what you can't do. Yet potential is the gap between what you have and what you could have. How do I strengthen my potential? How do I, like, narrow the gap and get closer to who I could be?

Well, by learning things I don't know.

By being open to ideas that I disagree with.

Do you realize that it's dangerous to be afraid of opposing ideologies? It's dangerous.

It's like, let's pretend you don't like these words. Ready? The bridge is out. And it's triggering that triggers you. The bridge is out. I love bridges. How dare you say the bridge is out? I mean, I know this is ridiculous. I get that. But it's an illustration.

And you're driving down the road and it's foggy.

And there's a sign that says the bridge is out. And there are people with flashlights. The bridge is out. The bridge is out. I can't believe they said that to me.

I am not afraid of opposing views. In fact, I welcome them. I welcome them when I'm having conversations with people individually. I welcome them in groups. I welcome them on my YouTube channel. I'm not opposed to people disagreeing with me. I've lived long enough to know I ain't right about everything.

I ain't even right about the stuff I used to think I was right about all the time. Some of that stuff I was wrong about. I've lived long enough to know it. So guess what? If somebody disagrees with me, I'd like to know why. You know why? Because if I'm wrong, my desire is to change.

But if they're wrong, my desire is to stand firm. And either way, I'm okay. Cause I got nothing to prove. I got nothing to lose. I got nothing to hide. I got nothing to gain. I just desire to tap into the power that God has already given me. Here's what it says. And a lot of people like to say that's Old Testament, though. What about the New Testament? Okay. Because people think that. And not only do they think it, they say it. You're always talking about business. The Bible doesn't say anything about business. The Bible has a lot to say about business. Like a lot a lot. Not even a little. A lot. Not even a little a lot. I don't even know what that means, but the Bible has a lot to say about business. I'm going to God's.

Designed.

Way for his people not to live in lack.

It'S in the New Testament. It's in First Thessalonians.

Chapter number four. The apostle Paul is writing to the Thessalonicans. Here's what he said.

And that you study to be quiet and to do your own business. You know what that means? It literally means to do your own business. Because in the Bible. You may not realize this, but in the Bible there are only two classifications of jobs that I've found. And if you find another one, please share it with me. And I'm not saying there's only two. These are only two I've been able to find in my 40 something years of reading the Bible. Two classifications as jobs, slaves and soldiers. Everybody else owned businesses.

That you study to be quiet and to do your own business and to work with your hands as we commanded you. Why should we study to be quiet, to do our own business, to work with our hands as he commanded us. Here's why. That you may walk honestly toward them that are without. What does that mean? So that you can pay your bills on time.

What's God's plan for you paying your bills in time to study, to be quiet, and to do your own business.

And work with your hands. Why? So that you can walk honestly toward the north, pay your bills on time, and that you may have lack of nothing. What is the power to get wealth? The power to get wealth is the power to serve people.

Strengthen my potential, submit to principles.

Subject myself to my purpose while I build my business. And I'm going to keep on doing that. I'm going to do it today, I'm going to do it tomorrow. I'm going to do it the next day. I'm going to do it until I find something in the Bible that tells me, thou shalt not build thy business and leave generational wealth to thy family.

What are you going to do? God's given you the power to get wealthy, so what are you going to do with it? You're going to activate it, or are you going to ignore it? That is the question. Thanks for watching. God bless. We'll see you in the next video.

In our.
