You got to open your mind to receive. Listen, if you honestly don't believe that God wants to provide for you, that God wants to create a space, matter of fact, that a space is already created for you for wealth. If you don't believe that, if you don't want to accept that and receive it, then I'm going to tell you right now, this live stream just is not for you. And I'm going to invite you really to, whether you're live or by replay, if you, if you like your present position and you don't think there's room for more and that the God you serve has more for you, you know, I don't want to waste your time and I certainly don't waste my time sharing things with you that listen, you're not gonna receive anyway. So I'm gonna invite you to really just exit the live. Everybody should be here. Everybody should be plugged in. You know, a lot of times, you know, people always talk about they led of the spirit. I don't know, man, because tonight, if you really was led of the spirit like you say you are, you will be on this live. You will prioritize it.

Uh, I'm believing God tonight that as we share the stream, uh, the numbers are going to increase because I believe this word is a word that needs to be heard. And I do this because I know whenever God gives me something to say, it's from him, number one. Number two, people need it. Glory to the name of God. So I want to take a moment to make sure they get it. All right, so I'm going to throw the thumbnail back up right now. I'm still here. Glory to God.

In the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you that even someone will listen to this and begin to take action with their life. Someone will listen to this and begin to decide, I want to follow Jesus so that I can have the life he has planned for me. In Jesus' name, amen. Man. All right, family, God bless your hearts. Listen, now I don't know if you're watching on Facebook, YouTube, uh, wherever you're watching. Again, continue to share, continue to send out texts and let people know we're here. All right, so tonight, glory to God, once again we're going to talk from the subject— this is the 6th installment of the Confidence Series. I, I don't know why I thought Sunday was 4, but Sunday was 5. This is 6, and tonight we're talking about the confidence to get wealth. Somebody type that in the comments so that people, when they come by, they can see what we're talking about. The confidence to get wealth. And the emphasis tonight is on the to get. Uh, we're gonna put a scripture on the end. I'm gonna give you some points in the beginning of this, and at the end we're going to put a scripture in Deuteronomy 8 on this. So I want you to stay with me. But at the end of the day, our emphasis tonight will be on to get, to get. So whether again you're on YouTube, whether you're on Facebook, stay with me. The numbers are already jumping. I see 51 people watching us right now. I can imagine that's probably from Facebook, but glory to the name of God. Stay with us. Glory to God. Now listen, I want you to understand, if you got a pen and paper, we just jumped that quick to 284 watching. Listen, there are 284, you know, stay on, if you share it, glory to the name of God. I'm telling you, it takes— it's important to be patient, right? We— and it's important to pray. We want people— I feel the anointing— to get this word. Glory to God. So here's what I need you to do. If you're on right now, 298 on, share it. I believe we're going to get up 350, 400 even. So if you guys go ahead and share, glory to the name of God. All right, so tonight again We're discussing the power or the confidence to get wealth, right? So there are a few things I want you to understand. We're at 297. Praise God. Hallelujah. I want you to understand something. I want you to get this. And if you have pen and paper, I want you to write this down. Glory to God. All right. I want you to write this down because in order for this to happen in your life, to see wealth actually materialize, right? You're gonna have to believe these things, and you're gonna have to trust these things. Glory to the name of God, that they are real and that they are true. Glory to Jesus. So, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna get through this as quickly as possible because I don't want you to have to process a whole lot of information tonight. I want you, uh, we're at 300, 301. Glory to God. I want you to get this and be able to start using this stuff now. Glory to the name of God. All right, so first of all, by way of review, the word confidence again means that you are able and acceptable to undertake any task assigned by God. Now with that said, the reality is wealth is one of the tasks that you and I have been assigned by God. And I know a lot of people miss this whole thing because people throw up a red flag when you start talking about money, you start talking about increase. They want to call you a prosperity teacher. I'm not that. Well, maybe I am in a way, but in the end of the day, I believe that there's a, a pure motive behind this because at the end of the day, especially in this hour we live in, hear me, child of God, Hear me, child of God. We live in an hour where the government is shutting down, the country is going into recession, the job market is horrible. The reality is you need principle according to the word of God on how you could tap into the promise of God for your life concerning wealth. Now I'm gonna jump right into these points. The first thing I want to give you tonight, write it down, because none of the stuff once I get to the scripture is going to matter if you don't get this. Number 1, here's the first thing you must believe. You and I must believe that we want to obtain wealth, that it is God's desire for real for us to have wealth. I want you— so you got to believe that. If you— and I said it earlier when, when it was just about 4 of us on there, 300 on, I said it earlier, listen to me. That— hear me, hear me, please hear me, hear me, hear me, hear me. If you don't believe that God wants you to have wealth, that God wants to establish you in a secure financial place, then this live right here is not for you. And I invited those that were on polite, politely to exit if they wanted to. If you want to stay around to see if something has sparked your belief, stay. But this live is not for people who want to stay stuck. It's not for people who believe that God doesn't want to bless his children. How ignorant can that be? And because people have miseducated most of you that the poor you will have with you always. When Jesus made that statement, he was not speaking in reference to his children. He was speaking in reference to those that would not connect. All right? And he was— and also he was speaking in reference to the assignment they were currently on, because you had disciples that wanted to depart what they were doing and go and do some things for the poor. And Jesus said, look, that's gonna always be there, we got other stuff to get done. Now you— so that's number one. You must believe that God has a wealthy place for you. We know that from Psalm 66, right? And I don't have to go back and teach that, but if you want to get what God has for you as it pertains to wealth, you must believe that it's his idea. Okay, so I'm sitting here tonight teaching you this not because it's my idea, it's God's idea. Matter of fact, somebody do me a favor, type in the comments, wealth is God's idea. Okay, I, I just need you to believe it. The reality is most of you have turned this off and made life harder for you than it needs to be because you think 'Oh, that's just prosperity teaching, and we don't believe.' Because, because the preachers that you were under at the time were mad because a lot of people were leaving their church, going to the church that was teaching about wealth and prosperity. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. And they were going against it, and you bought into the lie. Because they were just trying to keep you around. The reality is they should have started teaching it too. This is in the Bible. So you gotta believe that wealth— thank you, my wife— is God's idea. Glory to God. Number 2, number 2, write it down. God did not save you and I just to have good church. See, a lot of people stopped right there. I gotta say these things before I teach this because I gotta tear down 400 years of strongholds that's in your mind about how God looks at you and money. Money and wealth is a taboo subject in the church, and it should not be. And in particular, it should not be in any community of believers where where we're worrying about lack because our daddy is rich. So God did not save you just to attend church and have good church. So he didn't save you just to prophesy. Come on, huh? He didn't save you— glory to God, thank you, Pastor Jess. Well, wealth is God's idea for sure. He did not save you just to speak in tongues. He did not save you, glory to God, just to pray all day. He didn't save you to study the Bible all day. He didn't save you just to go to work, come home, take care of your children, take care of your family. No, that's not what he saved you for. He saved you, hallelujah, so you can advance the kingdom. Glory to God. Which leads me to my next point. Nothing can be established without wealth. So, oh boy, oh boy, nothing. So if you really want to advance the kingdom, if you want to establish a business, you want to bring forth an idea— I had a meeting with someone yesterday and we literally was discussing a multi-billion dollar, oh my God, project and a product that once it goes from concept to market, it's going to immediately begin to create revenue for the kingdom. I was sitting down talking to somebody today after I got off the golf course. I was sitting down eating with, with one of my golfers I play with, and we were talking and I said to him, he ran by me an idea that he had and he said some religious person told him not to do it. It because it wouldn't be representative of a Christian business. Well, I told him, I said, well, first of all, the Bible says, and Jesus said this, hear me, he said, in business be as men. So you show up in business or the marketplace to do business as a human, and you look at the marketplace as an exchange system where you give the marketplace something, they pay you for it. The money that you receive from them is not wicked. The money you receive from the marketplace is not evil. I went on to tell him the scripture says the wealth of the wicked— listen to me— is laid up for the just. Okay. So I told him, I said, okay, I talked to him about one project I'm doing that's about to go to Netflix. We were finishing up this thing. We're working on pitch decks and proposals and going through processes, negotiating terms for this documentary. I've shot two that's going to go to streaming platforms. This one is about to go. Okay. And I told him, I said, This documentary we did for Uptown Comedy Corner, we interview every comedian that's somebody today. All right, the end of the day, all of them people cuss, they do all kind of stuff that you would not do in church. I told him, I said, listen, do you think I turned down the contract, turned down the deal because they offered my company the opportunity to shoot this documentary? I said no, the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the jest. That wicked wealth is not going to just fall out of the sky. You got to be in the marketplace offering something they will pay you for because they ain't going to just give you no money. So you got to give them something they'll pay you for as a kingdom business person that will produce the wealth. What am I saying? No, again, nothing can be established without wealth. There's the wealth that God will release into your life through your ideas, and then there are wealth that he'll release through the marketplace, but you gotta be in the marketplace servicing people. Listen, at the end of the day, I help you. I'm a Christian business. That, okay, great. But your business needs to serve people other than Christians. 'Cause one thing you'll quickly learn is that Christians are not gonna be so quick, even though they should, to support their own. Oh boy. Ah. Ah, ah, oh my God. So nothing— hey, Bishop Norwood, good to see you, man of God— can be established without wealth. Not— that's right, Bishop Norwood, not one thing. All right, so again, first thing, you got to believe that God has a wealthy place for you. Number 2, you got to believe that God did not save you just to have good church. I'm not against good church. I'm not against prophecy. Joyfully-yam. I do it all the time. I'm not against praying for the sick. I'm not against falling on the floor. I'm not against worshiping until glory come. But what I do know is I was not saved just to do that. Oh boy, my salvation comes with an assignment to advance the kingdom. And guess what? So does yours. It takes wealth Number 3, nothing can be established without wealth. And here's the last thing. In order to obtain wealth, you need a map. Somebody type that, glory to God, in the comments. We got 304 watching us. Y'all keep sharing. Glory to God. Somebody type that in the comments. In order— because I told the gentleman, he was telling me about some of his ideas, some of his dreams. I said, listen, man, I said, man, reality is if you, if you keep talking about these dreams, next year you'll still be having the same conversation. I said, you gotta take action. I said, everything you saying is doable. Here's the problem. All you're doing is talking. You got to take action. So what is a map, Michael Woods? A map M.A.P. is a massive action plan. I'm gonna say that again. You need a massive action plan. So you need a plan, glory to God, and you need to decide that you're gonna take action every single day as it relates to that plan. Are y'all with me tonight? You gotta decide, glory to God, that I'm gonna take massive action every day. So you need a strategic plan that you can walk out daily so you can achieve your goals. So if you don't have a plan of action, a massive— that's why, baby, that's why, right? A massive plan of action. If you don't have a plan of action, you're never gonna do it. All you're gonna do is talk about it. And going back to number 1, if you don't believe God wants, has a wealthy place for you. So watch this. Wealth is God's optimal reality for your finances. That's a lot of people don't achieve it, but it don't change the fact that God wants you to have it. It's his optimal reality for your finances and vision is God's optimal reality to produce those finances. So you need to be aligned with the mind of God. So you need to spend enough time in prayer so you crawl up into his mind. Oh my God. Oh, and you find out what's on his mind and you begin to follow the plan that's in his mind. See, the problem with most of you you're doing things your way. I was telling the brother I was talking to today, I said, hey man, listen, all that stuff you're telling me is good. And he says, yeah, I got some regrets. I said, but man, you gotta get in the mind of God and make sure that you're operating according to what God planned. Watch this. I know the thoughts that I think toward you. These are thoughts of peace and not of evil. Jeremiah 29:11. That you may have an expected end. Ah, oh boy, did y'all hear that? One of your favorite scriptures. So you gotta now know he knows the thoughts he thinks. His question toward you and I, the question is, do you know the thoughts he thinks towards you? He know what he think, but do you know what he thinking? That's the question. And if you reject the idea of wealth, there is no way on this planet you know what's on God's mind. Because God's optimal reality for your life, oh my God, is for you to produce well, is for you to manifest it. Uh, I was talking to another apostle tonight right before I got on here. He said, Woods, he said, I listen to the stuff you teach, man. He said, this stuff is, is going to revolutionize the body of Christ if they grab it. He said, if in your church, he said, if just 60 people caught under— who's under your ministry just caught the things you are teaching and begin to do them. Are y'all here? I received that word, man. He said he began to do it. He said the world would begin to lust after it and want God the more. He said because they'll see the kingdom manifested not just in how they do church, but how they live and the lifestyle they present to the world through the word because they applied what was taught. I want you to hear this, that prophecy came to me, but for every person connected to you, I want you to understand you are called and assigned to take these teachings and apply them to your life so that the world would desire the Jesus you serve. 'Cause guess what? The world ain't really impressed with you speaking in tongues. I'm sorry, they're not. They're not impressed with you dancing and shouting, worshiping until you cry, worshiping until you fall on the floor. The world not impressed with that. But if we want to attract people into the kingdom of Jehovah, they got to see the manifestation of the promise of God working in your life. So wait a minute, I hope y'all got those 4 things right. Number 1, and I'm gonna get in the text. Oh, I pray y'all getting something out of this, man. Number 1, you gotta believe. That God has a wealthy place for you. Number 2, you are not saved just to have good church. Number 3, you need— am I— wealth. Here we go, here we go. Establishes everything, or nothing can be established without wealth. Number 4, oh boy. Are y'all with me? And I pray y'all got these, man. Number 4, you gotta realize you need a MAP, a Massive Action Plan. All right, so let's go to Deuteronomy chapter number 8, and I'm almost through. Hallelujah. Deuteronomy chapter number 8, just catch you up to this. Glory to the name of God. And we're going to start at verse number 1. I want you to kind of see where we are, uh, praise God. God, we give you praise, Jesus. We give you glory. We give you honor. We bless you. Do y'all love God tonight? Hallelujah! I love him. He's such a good God. Glory to God. So I want to catch you up on a couple of things here, right? Hallelujah! Glory to God. So in chapter 8, it's— first of all, it's the 8th chapter of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is the 5th chapter of what we call the Pentateuch, which is the 5 books of Moses. So these all, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, all written by Moses. They're written out of his heart and interaction, watch this, with the children of Israel for them. And this is the main reason these 5 books are implemented is that the children of Israel, the children of God, will actually become acclimated to God's heart so that they will not only know the acts of God, but that they would know the ways of God. And this is important to what I'm about to read. I want you to hear me. You must know the ways of God. Are y'all with me? Glory to the name of God. You must know the ways of God. Say the ways of God. I, I want you to grab this because at the end of the day, you can't just live off acts, miracles, signs, wonders, and not know the ways of God, the behavior of God, the desire of God for your life. And one of the things he desires is wealth, right? And we're going to see this here. Glory to the name of God. He says— and I'm reading out the New King James Version— he says, every commandment which I command you today, you must be careful to observe. Hallelujah. That ye may live and multiply. Glory to God. Now he says, now these things I'm about to say, this is God speaking. He said that what you hear today, he said you got to be careful to observe or to do what I'm saying. Why? That you may live and multiply. Sounds like increase, sounds like growth to me, sounds like life. Watch it, the word live here is a Hebrew word that means that you may, watch this, breathe in abundance. Okay, now the first point I gave earlier was you gotta believe that God has a wealthy space for you. Now the text is telling us God wants you to breathe breath in abundance. So he don't want you breathing and struggling. He wants you to breathe and have abundance, and all your needs are satisfied. You're living debt-free. You're operating successful businesses. Life is manifesting through the word for you, and you're living in abundance. Watch this, more abundance. Jesus picked it up in John 10:10, said the thief come to steal, kill, and destroy. Right? So the thief comes to steal the word, destroy your faith in the word, destroy your hallelujah faith in what God desires for you. But God says, I come that you might live and that you might have life abundantly. Sound like the same thing to me. God says here, I want you— how do I get it? Here's the first key. I gotta observe his commandments. In other words, I gotta obey the word. I gotta do the word, right? And then he goes on to tell them some other stuff they need to do. Let's look at verse 2. He says, and go in. He said, you're going to live and multiply. You're going to become greater. You're going to increase in number. Touch your belly and say, I'm about to increase in number. Glory to God. Say, I'm— say, say, everything I touch is about to grow. Man, we talked on Sunday about putting your foot on it, and everywhere you put your foot, you would possess. Glory to God. I dare you, touch your belly, say, I'm getting ready to grow, I'm getting ready to increase, I'm getting ready to see things happen in my life that I've never seen before. I'm almost done. Stay with me, guys. Stay with me. This is good for you. Glory to God. This is good stuff. He says, I want you to go in, possess the land which the Lord swore by your fathers. So in, in other words, Israel, I promised your father some things. I want you to go in and take it, to possess it. It belongs to you. Can I speak prophetically to you tonight according to the word of God? Not only did God swear it to the fathers of the children of Israel and to Abraham, glory to God, but he's also promised it to you. Oh God, he's also promised it to you. Okay, some— I'm convinced some people gonna stay where they are because they're not gonna get this. They're gonna keep pushing this away, but you gotta believe. Hallelujah. And you gotta possess it. You gotta now start doing the activities, working with your massive action plan to possess what's yours. Stop accepting life as it is. Stop living with a mediocre mindset. You got to multiply, increase your mindset. I taught this last month at the Wealth Conference. Listen, money is not currency, your mind is. Wealth is not currency, your mind is. You got to start possessing wealth in your mind and then taking action every day to manifest what you see and what you know is already yours. Here's another command, verse 2. Watch this. So not only do you obey the Lord, but he says, number 2, verse 2, remember all the way which the Lord led you these 40 years in the wilderness. So he said, look, now I need you to remember that it was me that brought you through wilderness. God said, look, I worked some miracles for you in wilderness. I parted Red Sea. Your clothes grew with you. I gave you manna from heaven. I protected you from the Amalekites. Oh my God, I protected you from the inhabitants of Mount Seir. I protected you from the Hittites. He said, look, I did some great things for you. I took you through the waters of Marah and transformed that water so you have something to drink. Watch this. God, I want you to think about this. Your mind has two functions: memory and imagination. Your memory replays the events of the past. Your imagination preplays the events of the future. You got to start using your imagination, number one, to preplay what God's optimal reality for your finances are and what God's optimal reality for your future is. So in other words, you gotta start preplaying in your mindset God's optimal reality for your wealth, God's optimal reality, envision what you're gonna do to produce that wealth. Are we here? Ooh. So watch this. He says, now I want you to also replay your testimony, what I've done before. And I promise you, every person under the sound of my voice can trace back to something God has done, and you have a testimony. And I'm telling you tonight, his has done is just as powerful as his will do. If he delivered you from that, if he brought you out of that season that you could have committed suicide, took your life, if he brought you through death, near-death experience— I've been there, I have some memories. Glory to God. I have some memories of what God is able to do. Are y'all here? And if God has brought you through something, anything, he's saying to you tonight, his has done is just as powerful. Y'all, excuse me. As his will do. Are y'all here? So if he's able to do those things, if it was nothing but save you and you had enough faith to know that God saved you, you could take that same memory and pre-play what he said he's going to do in your wealth and in your— through your vision, and believe that he can manifest those things in your life. I'm almost through, man. Y'all stay with me. So you gotta remember, you gotta remember, you gotta remember. He says he led you through the wilderness 40 years— watch this— to humble you and to test you, so that to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. Now watch this, here's a whole nother piece a lot of people never tap into. Wealth that comes from God and the optimal reality— watch this— that God has for you and the wealth, the vision. They never tap into the vision that will produce the wealth and the wealth that will sustain their life forever and their children's children because their heart is jacked up. Oh boy. He can't trust you with it. That's why you don't have it. And at the end of the day, you got to clean out your heart. And that's why— see, the wilderness was a circle. It was a 12-day journey that actually only would have took 12 days on foot, but God kept taking them the long way and they couldn't get through the long way. Glory to God! Because their heart needed to be purified. Their heart— hear me— needed to be cleansed. Glory to Jesus! Are you here? You don't want massive delays in your life because you got stuff in your heart that needs to be purified, man. There. It'll stop the blessing. We're talking about the confidence to get well. It'll stop you from being able to get it. And tonight I'm just trying to push you to get it. And watch this, 40, the number 40 is a number of divine probation. And if you ever been on probation, it means check in. Glory to God. And it means to be, hallelujah, glory to the name of God, led by authority. Glory to God. Because of a sentence. So because of something you performed in that was in your heart, you were sentenced to probation, and now the authority controls you and your behavior, or they attempt to, because some people violate probation. But this is the same thing what, what it was before. It is, it's checking in. And I'm telling you, God is constantly checking your heart to see if you can handle the wealth that he wants to give you. Are y'all here? Oh my God, oh my God. Verse 3, I gotta go. So this is to humble you, to test you, to see what's in your heart. Verse 3: So he humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know, and, and your fathers didn't even know what it was, that he may make you know that man shall not live live by bread alone, but man lives by every word. Hallelujah. Woo! That comes out of the mouth of the Lord. This is good. So God takes us through things to help us understand you can't do this without me. Again, God wants you to be wealthy. You can't do it without him. You got to get this stuff out of your heart. Let him humble you. Let him know he could trust you with it. You got to become irresistible to the wealth. Can I submit to you prophetically tonight? The wealth is already accumulating in the heavens, and it's looking for you, and it's looking for a heart that's ready to receive. You just have to become irresistible— hear me— so it'll show up in your You do that by proper preparation of your heart. Oh boy, I gotta go, I gotta go. Verse 4, he said, your garments did not wear out, nor did your foot swell in those 40 years. Again, God says, I, I was there with you, man, I took care of you. Verse 5, he said, you should know in your heart that as a man chases his son, so the Lord chases So again, you must consider even the things in your heart, the things that— watch this— he reveals to you that is causing you to come short. You know, some, some things are not habits that are caused by demonic forces. Some things are heart matters. Hear me, that you need to purify out of your heart. and a lot of the blessing is held up because you got this stuff in your heart, all of this junk. And God uses it to chase you. He shows you, okay, get this out of your heart. Because watch this, out of the abundance of the heart flows the issues of life. So if I want my issue flowing out of me to be wealth, I gotta develop a heart that wealth can flow out of. Oh, that was so good. Okay, I'm gonna keep going because I don't want to hold you too long. I'm almost done. I really can dive in this a whole lot. Hallelujah. Verse 6, he said, therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God. Here we go. You shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways and fear him. So again, this is important to getting wealth— obedience to what God says. Is keeping his word, doing what he says. You want to be wealthy? You want to see the harvest of God flow into your life? You must become obedient to the word of God. Not what CNN is saying, not the latest TikTok trend, not— oh my God— now what your friends is doing. Oh my God, not what's in style and what goes out of You need to stay obedient to what the word of God says. This is why it's hard. Bible says the way of a transgressor is hard. Another word for transgressor, the way of the disobedient, is hard. So when you don't obey the word— I'm not talking about pick and choosing the things you obey, but when God says to do something in this book You need to obey and you need to do it. Verse 7, I'm almost done. He said, for the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, fountains and springs that flow out of valleys and hills. Verse 8, a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of oil and honey. Look, sounds like a prosperous, abundant land to me. Oh boy. Here's where I want to get. Anan, a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity. Are y'all hearing me? I want you to hear this tonight. God wants to bring— this is his promise, this is his optimal reality. He wants you to have fruitful living. He wants you to have land where you do not have lack or scarcity, where you can eat without scarcity. Well, where we can not only eat in our own homes, but we can end world hunger because we're prosperous enough to do it. We're blessed to be a blessing. Said. He said, you shall not— you shall eat without scarcity, and you will lack nothing. He said, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. Watch this. Oh my God. Oh my God, this is so powerful. God says, I want your— I want to enrich you with resources in the land, in the ground, because we have dominion over the earth Anyway, so God says, I want to give you property and land so that it's constantly producing for you. Land ownership is spiritual, by the way. So at the end of the day, I was talking to somebody today, I'm saying, guys, listen, I got my eye on this piece of land and this piece of land and these properties in these different cities because this is what I desire to do with what God is strategically through my massive action plan causing me to build and create. The reality is he gives us resources so that we can constantly produce for generations to come, and the kingdom is always advanced and never in lack. Oh my God, are we here? Oh, we— I love it. He says, when you have eaten, verse 10, and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which he has given you. He, he said, look, in other words, you shall barak, bless. You shall adore the Lord. You shall worship the Lord. You shall give praise to the Lord for the great things that he has done. You, you shall be a sign of his goodness. It will also cause others to bless the Lord and praise him. Verse 11, he said, beware that you not forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments, his judgments, and his statutes which I command you today. Lest when you have eaten to the full, verse 12, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them, and when your herds and your flocks multiply and your silver and gold are multiplied, all that you have will multiply, when your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage, who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, oh my God, in which there were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirst, a thirsty land where there was no water, who brought you water out of a rock who fed you in the wilderness manna which your fathers did not know, that he might humble you, that he might test you to do good in the end. He said, then you say in your heart, my power and my might, or my hand, have gained me this wealth. So watch it. He said, look, when the abundance comes, if you want to keep your heart pure, keep it clean— matter of fact, start purifying your heart now to know again you could do nothing without him. It's his plan for you to be wealthy. And when he sends it to you, you can take no credit. God must get all the glory for it. Are y'all hearing me? Glory to God, glory to God. Here's my last scripture, verse 18: And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth through your massive action plan. Oh, he has given you the confidence, the authority, the ability, the power power to get, to take action and produce wealth. He gave it to you. You give him glory for that power, for that intellect, for that idea, for that dream. He has given you power to get wealth. Why? That he might establish— glory to God— his covenant on this earth. So he wants to give you the wealth. He wants you to get it, get it. Just touch yourself. I gotta get it, I gotta get it, I gotta get it. To get wealth, you start getting it by those 4 things I gave you. One, believe he wants you to have it. Two, no, you ain't just saved to have church, good church, and be broke. Third, hallelujah, nothing can be established without wealth. Oh my God. And four, you need a massive action plan. You, if you put those things together you're taking the actions that's going to get you wealth. That's what we must do. He does it to establish his covenant. When he's speaking of covenant here, he's not talking about one specific thing. He's talking about his whole word. See, again, nothing can be established— y'all see it right there— without wealth. The covenant can't be established without wealth. He needs you and I on Earth to be wealthy so we can establish the covenant, right? I'm done. I've been, I've been here too long. I'm done. But I want you to grab this, man, because if you take this, what's happening in Washington at 1600 Pennsylvania, in the Congress, Congress, in the House, in our, in our governor's house, throughout our country, the decline of resources among the world. If you take these principles and operate by them, if you develop your mouth, if you start trusting that you need wealth to establish the covenant and that God wants you to have it and that you're saved for more than good church, I'm telling you, nothing that's coming down the pipeline will affect you, but you must take action and trust God and his covenant, right? Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for this word tonight. I thank you for those that joined us. I pray, God, that the replay will be even more powerful and that people will grab hold to this word, and they'll know that you've given them the power to get wealth. And I give you praise and glory for it now. I thank you that the days ahead will not touch us. We're covered in the blood. And Father, I thank you that you desire for us to move into a wealthy place. You desire for us, God, to not just have good church but to advance your kingdom. I— we thank you that nothing can be established without wealth. So Father, we thank you that for the wealth that you're bringing us so that we can establish your covenant. And we thank you finally Father. Glory to the name of God for our MAP, our Massive Action Plan. We thank you, God, that we'll take action. We won't just be hearers, we'll be doers of the word. God, we will pray through, crawl up in your mind to get your plan and your vision, your optimal reality for our future, so we can finish our course in abundance. I declare over every person under the sound of my voice that they shall breathe faith in abundance. In the mighty name of Jesus, we bless you and we honor your name. Amen. Glory to God.
