Why Rick Pino Left The Ministry (Pt. 2)

What's up everybody? So recently I put out a video called why Rick Pino Left the Ministry. And I began to unfold and develop some of the concepts that led my wife and I to switching from full time vocational ministry to full time marketplace business. And in today's training, I'm going to be going even deeper into some of these concepts. So if you are somebody who you feel like God is calling you from the ministry into business, and this is the perfect video for you, by the way, click the link down right there if you haven't seen part one yet. Enjoy the training. Ladies and gentlemen, in today's training, I'm going to be sharing with you specifically for those of you guys and gals who are coming from a ministry background. Maybe you're a believer, maybe you've been a missionary, maybe you've been a pastor, maybe you've served in ministry in some sort. And all of a sudden now God is tapping you on the shoulder saying, yo, I also am calling you to business. I'm also calling you to the marketplace. And maybe you're like super excited, maybe you're super scared. Whatever it is, if that is you, then this is the training for you guys and gals. For those who don't know, my wife and I For the past 25 years, I have come from a ministry background, been a worship leader since I was 11 years old, 79 nations all over the globe. Many of those nations I've been to dozens and dozens of times. Like I think we've been to the Philippines close to 20 times. So yes, 79 nations and within all those nations a lot of times to many of those nations. So been around the world, done everything from like serving in orphanages and you know, rescuing children and orphans and building orphanages and helping people and digging wells and rocking out stadiums with worship, you know, glory and, you know, prayer meetings and all the stuff. And all of a sudden, you know, even though me and my best friend started our first business when I was 15, even though I've been doing business behind the scenes and no one really knew about it, okay, all of a sudden God started tapping me on the shoulder and saying, yo, I really desire for you to go even more like forefront even more forward with this business stuff. Because how many of you guys and gals know that it is time for God's people to arise and shine, for their light has come and the glory of God is, is rising upon us. If you agree with that, drop some fire emojis in the comments right now. Like, guys, it is Time. This whole idea that the wealth of the wicked is laid up or stored up for the righteous. When are we going to not just pray about it? And by the way, prayer is awesome. Like, let's keep praying about it. But we can't just pray about it. We have to start being about it, okay? So that's what today's training is going to be all about. And I'll tell you guys this. A number of months back ago, I dropped a video called why Rick Pino Left the Ministry. And the biggest kind of. There was a few on there. But one of the biggest takeaways that I dropped in that video was this concept out of Genesis, Chapter nine, out of the story of the life of Noah, okay? And so Noah, you gotta think of it, right? Like, and I'll just give a quick recap here. Cause I wanna give some foundation and some context to where I wanna just talk about today in today's training, okay? So Noah, he is an ark builder, okay? Noah is building an ark for over 100 years, 120 years. The dude has a hammer in his hand every single day of the week. And he's building and building and building and building and building and building and building, like, for over a century, right? And then all of a sudden, the flood comes, which to me signifies great transition, okay? This big transitional moment hits Noah's life, okay? And then after the flood, like after the transition, the dust starts settling, you know, whatever. Then all of a sudden, Noah lands on the top of Mount Ararat. And literally in Genesis 9, it says this. And Noah became a farmer. And guys, I will tell you this. Probably six, almost seven years ago, when God was like, tapping me and my wife on the shoulder going, listen, I love that you guys are doing vocational priesthood. You guys are doing all this worship, all this prayer. It's powerful, it's awesome, it's necessary, it's good. But what I desire for you guys to do in this next season is to actually flip all of this on its head. The ministry that you're doing on the front end and the business that you're doing on the back end. God was telling us, I want you to flip this around. I want you to do the business on the front and then the ministry stuff in the back for a season. And honestly, guys, I wrestled with it because, you know, here I am, I'm a priest at this point. And by the way, I'm still a priest. I'm a priest first. And I will forever be a priest forever and ever and ever. Because that is a Massive. Massive part of who I am, right? So I am a worshiper first. I'm a priest first, right? However, God is tapping us on the shoulder and saying, hey, hey, you're also kings and you're also queens. And I really want to transition you in this season to learn how to step into. What does that actually look like? Okay, so I need at least 10 people in the comments right now. Drop these words. Kings and priests. Kings and priests. Okay, I wanna break this down for you guys. I have never actually heard anybody talk about this the way that I'm gonna be sharing it with you. I feel like recently, God's been giving me a lot of download about what I'd like to share with you guys today. These insights about what it means to be a king and a priest. Okay, So a little bit of my story. Okay? So for those who are getting familiar, I just told you, I've been a worship leader and a missionary for 25 years, all over the world, all that stuff. But it's really interesting because for those of us who come from the ministry background, right? The ministry world, the church world, the missions world, the prayer movement world, you know, the worship movement, me and my community at large for many, many years. Decades, right? For those of us who are. Who are coming from that context, it's really interesting because in the priesthood, I remember, you know, when you're first starting out and God's, like, calling you to the ministry, right? Or he's calling you to his presence, right? Which, by the way, that never goes away, okay? So when God. When you first start sensing that God is calling me to his presence, he's calling me to this sitting and gazing upon his beauty, right? Which all of us have been there. When you're first starting out with that, you don't know what in the world you're doing, right? At least maybe I can't speak for every one of y', all, but I can speak for myself. Like, I had no clue what in the world I was doing. Like, I don't know how to pray. Like, I don't know how to fast. I don't know how to worship. I don't know how to intercede. Like, I don't know how to. How to just sit here and gaze on his beauty. And somehow the Father sees that as ministry to him. Like, I don't know how to do any of this, right? But because the heart intent is to please the Father in that assignment, guess what we do as priests, we just commit to the unfolding of the clunkiness of the process. Okay. And I want you to really pay attention to what I just said. We commit to the unfolding clunkiness of the process. What does that mean? Okay. I don't know about you, but for me, actually, I'll go here to the board in a second. I don't know about you, but for me, when I was becoming a priest, you don't just. When you're first starting out, you're not just like, I am a priest. You know, I am. I am God's man. I am God's woman. If you're a woman, right? Like, I am. I am yours, God. Like, you're just like, I don't know how to pray. Like, God, please help. Like, God, break in. Oh, fasting. Like. Like, what you mean, like, don't have orange juice at breakfast? Like, is that fast? Like, you're just figuring it all out, and then all of a sudden, because you commit to the clunky unfolding of the process, little by little, step by step, day after day, you start learning how it works, and all of a sudden, you wake up, whatever, 10 years later, and you are a priest, right? Like, you're in the priesthood. Like, you are doing it. You know how intercession works. You know how worship works. You know how prayer works. Maybe even at that point, God is releasing more and more and more revelation to you. And one thing, I was talking with a friend of mine, maybe he's on today, but talking to a friend of mine, Jared, who's in Digital Product Academy, and I was saying, you know, it's interesting because as priests, you know, one thing that makes it so incredible for each and every one of us, as in the. In the priestly role, is that we, as priests, we touch into the eternal with the purpose. Because we understand as priests, just like Jesus is forever an intercessor before the Father, when we step into intercession, we are stepping into that with him as well. Like, wow. Not only is Jesus our eternal intercessor, but when we step into the place of prayer and intercession, we're stepping into the eternal right? Or when it comes to worship, like, I have been a gigantic voice, a gigantic trumpet for worship for decades and decades. The same thing goes for worship, right? Like, when we worship, why is our heart so full? Why do we feel so much pleasure and glory and joy when we step in the place of worship? Because not only do we get to adore the Father in the place of worship, but now we are also touching. We're reaching past the natural, and we are touching the eternal in that place. Why? Because all of this has to do with the priesthood. Right? And one of the reasons why those of us who are being called by God to not just be priests only, but to be kings or queens and priests, I know, at least for me, in the beginning of me flipping my process around on its head, like, not just ministry in the front and business in the back burner or like behind the scenes to where no one could see. But now it's business on the front burner, and ministry is happening behind the scenes where no one can see. Right? Except for the Father, of course. And that's all who matters, who sees anyway. But in that process, we have a hard time letting go of just priesthood. Why? Because I think, at least for me, there has been that. That touch, that glimpse into eternity that we're like, man, this has eternal purpose. And guess what? It does. Okay, but I want to submit something to you today. Why am I saying all of that? Because I want to build a context for what I'm about to share with you next. Okay? When it comes to stepping into not just the priest context only, but also learning to be kings and queens, okay, Something happens because we're coming from this context subconsciously because we're not just like in the kingdom, we also have been churched as well, right? And how many of y' all know that church and kingdom are two very, very different places? Right? And I don't have time to get into that, but you guys know what I'm saying? Okay? So because we also have some, maybe a little bit of religion, maybe a little bit of church theology and not kingdom or Bible theology, we have this thought that, well, it's only priests or it's only kings, but no way could it be both. And yes, in theory, priests and kings, but like, not me. Like, I'm a priest only, right? And even for my business friends, I have many, many, many friends in the marketplace now who've been all kingdom kings, queens, like business, multi, multi, multi millionaires, like, blowing it out in the marketplace. And all of a sudden, God's tapping them on the shoulder and saying, hey, you learned how to be a king, you learned how to be a queen, Now I want to teach you how to be a priest. And the same way that guys like me who are transitioning from, okay, I've grown into the priesthood now I need to start growing into kingship. The same thing is happening for these guys in Galaxy. Like, I know how to be a king, I don't know how to be a priest, and and guess what they're doing? They're starting over from square one going, I don't know how to pray, I don't know how to fast, I don't know what intercession is, Holy Spirit, what the same thing is happening for them in the priesthood that is happening for you and I who are coming from the priesthood to kingship and to queenship, to. We're going like, I don't know how to market, I don't know how to sell, I don't know how to build a business. Like, I don't know what a funnel is. Like, what is happening. So, guys, I want you to be encouraged because we the more my wife and I journey into this clunky unfolding process of what it means to not just be a priest only, but also a king. Remember, a priest first forever. Yes, but also a king. Okay. We have begin to discover the same way that there's a clunky unfolding of the process in the priesthood. I don't know how to do all this stuff is the same thing that happens when you start your journey into kingship or queenship or queenhood. However you say that, right? So if you are coming from the priesthood, growing now into kingship and being a queen, kings and queens, and you're feeling clunky, you're feeling awkward, you're feeling, I don't know how to do this. Welcome to the club. Like, this is how it works, man. This is exactly how it works. And why am I saying all this? Because here in a moment, I want to really start building upon the foundation that I'm laying right now. But I need you to understand the same way that we coming from the priesthood have had our hearts ignited with fire because we have reached past, we've touched beyond the natural and we've touched into the eternal in the priesthood. Guys, guess what? It's not just in the priesthood. It's also being a king and a queen. Like, recently, I'll tell you guys, I was in prayer a couple of weeks ago and I'm sitting there and if I could just keep it 100 with y', all, I'm saying, God, thank you so much for blessing me and my wife over these past couple of years. Like, we've made tens of millions of dollars. This is insane. I never would have thought we would have done this. And thank you, God. It's all from you, by the way. Now that we've done that, like, can I just go back to like being a full time worshiper? Like, and I felt like God saying That's awesome. But the same way there was eternal purpose in you learning how to be a priest, because the priesthood goes beyond this age and it goes into the age to come. The Father was saying, I need you. I desire for you to learn how to be a king or if you're a woman, a queen in this age. Because the kingship also goes beyond the natural. It goes beyond this age. And guys, we are being trained for the age to come. This is not just like, we're not just chasing dollar signs, guys, okay? Like, in my heart for a minute was like, God, didn't we make enough money already? Like, I mean, it'd be kind of cool. Like, you know, my heart, I just want to worship you all day long. Like this Davidic language, this Davidic calling that's on my life, I'm ready to get back to that. And God said, you didn't get away from it. You're just in a different part of the unfolding. And now I want to. The same way you've tasted the eternal in the priesthood, I want you to now start learning and that you can also taste the eternal with the kingship side as well. And that for me was like a big aha, like a big epiphany. In fact, if you're getting something, like, if your mind and your heart and your spirit's expanding right now, drop some fire emojis in the comments and just talk back to me here. If that's you, say I'm getting it. Say I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. Right? So what we need to understand is that it's not one or the other. Very rarely God might call a person to just be a priest or just be a king. But more so than the rarity, more so than the exception, God is saying, I'm calling all of you to be kings and priests. In fact, before I go to the board here, let me just read this scripture to you. Absolutely mind blowing. Okay? Mind blowing. Revelation, chapter 5. In fact, I'll come to the board, check this out. Hey, I really hope that you're enjoying the video. I want to invite you guys. I have recently created a free training teaching people how to make money online. My students are literally making anywhere from five to $10,000 a month. And some of them even make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not in a year, but in a single day. If you want more information on how you can get started, all you need is a phone and a laptop. You can go to digitalproductacademy.org or you can click the link below in the description. Guys, after you watch the free training, if it sounds like it might be something cool for you to check out, you can book a free call with one of my client success coaches and they'll be able you more. Now back to the video Revelation 5. Okay, this is verse 10. All right? And we, we've all heard this, but I want to just break this down for a second because we talk about the first part, but we, we rarely talk about the second part. Okay? Now this is, this is. They're singing the song of the lamb in this, in this section. It's absolutely beautiful. And they say something mind blowing to me in the song. And they say this. You have made us. Kings. There it is, right? Kings and priests, okay? To our God. And all of us tend to stop there. Like, yes, we're kings and priests, right? And they're singing this. You've made us kings and priests to our God. But watch the next part, guys. This is mind blowing says, you have made us kings and priests to our God. Watch this. And we shall reign. R E I G N We shall reign on the earth. What is happening right now? What is happening right now? What does this mean? What does this mean? Like I was saying a little bit earlier, okay, there's not just eternity in the priest side, there is eternity in the king side. And guess what the point of all of it is, guys, the point of all of this is because God is training us to reign. In fact, I need at least 10 people in the comments right now. Drop these words. Training for reigning. It's not just the priesthood only. Yes, in my opinion, it's the priesthood first. It's unto Jesus, unto the lamb first. But it's not just priesthood only, guys. It's learning how to be kings and queens. Because the punchline is this. Many believers think that the way that God is going to entrust you to reign is that you are really, really good at prayer on the earth. Now, by the way, I'm not God. I don't know exactly how it's going to work, but here's the little piece that I do know about God, okay? I know out of the book of Luke, in the parable of the talons, if you're faithful with little, God will entrust you with more. I know that in the parable of the talons it says that the Master entrusted talons each to their own ability. Okay? Now some people have a really great ability in the place of intercession, which is awesome. But I Want to be a person that has the ability to be faithful in the place of intercession and building businesses and ruling and creating economy so that people on my staff, okay, like, depending on the month, there's anywhere from 20 to maybe 30 people on my staff every month. And who I get to supply and support Those, you know, 15, 20, 25, 30, whatever it is, families and their children so that they can have a place to work and then that they can eat. Like, as a king, I want to be an intercessor and I want to be a kingdom builder. To where not only do we intercede like we did in our staff meeting, okay? Like, we have staff prayer meetings. God help us. Thank you, God. But not just God help us sit on the couch and wait for God to poof something into our lap, but God help us. And then going and getting to work, beginning to use the king muscle. How can we build economy? How can we bless people? Not just by praying for them, but how can we bless people? By praying for them and being able to write a check. See, because when you're broke, all you can do is pray for people. And by the way, praying for people is awesome. But when you're a king and a priest. Now, I can pray for people and I can write them a check. Like, which one is better? Like, don't get religious on me. Like, oh, they just need prayer, brother. No, they don't. They need groceries. Oh, they just need prayer. No, they don't. They need a new tire on their car. No, they don't just need prayer. They need their rent paid. Like, yes, prayer is powerful and it's awesome and it's necessary and please continue to pray. But what is more powerful than just praying for somebody is praying for them and being a king or a priest who can also be like Jesus and help supply needs. Guys, this is the beginning of what it means to be kings and priests. God wants to show us how to reign on the earth. He wants to train us in this age, not just in the priesthood, but how to rule, how to reign. How does money work? How does finances work? How do taxes work? Because Jesus talked about all of these very, very much in the Bible, right? Because how many of y' all know in the age to come, it's not just like, economy goes away? Like, whoops, like, no. More like, no way. All the gold is mine, all the silver is mine. Like, there will be financial economy in the age to come. And Jesus, the king of all kings, by the way, it doesn't just say that he's the king of priests. It says he's the king of kings. So guess what? If he's just. If he's the king of kings, then you have to learn how to be a king. Because it's not just the kings of the earth, it's us, it's his people learning how to grow into the eternal aspect of what it means to be a king. Okay, so if Jesus, all the gold is his, all the silver is his, all the, all the economy is. Here's guess what. Jesus is also looking for sons and daughters, not just priests, but also kings and queens who know how to run stuff to share that with in the age to come saying, listen, who's going to run these 10 cities for me Again? In the book of Luke we see that in the parable of talents. Well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful over these five talents, which by the way, I don't have time to get into it today, but it's roughly $6 million that he left to the one with five talents. I made a video about this recently. Go check it out. But by the way, because you were faithful with this, with this 6 million, I am now going to entrust you over 10 cities. Like, Jesus is not a unwise king. Guys, like, please don't be deceived to think that all you need to do is pray and God's going to poof everything into your life. That is not how God works. We don't just pray and God poofs. Okay, how do I know this? Because I want to submit to you that it was not God's first best for the children of Israel to live off of manna. It wasn't his will. It wasn't his best will for them to live off of manna. But guess what? Because they were unwilling to step into courage, to learn new skills of warfare and, and dominance and ruling. Because they were unwilling, because they were coming from a slave mentality. They're like, man, we can't, we can't rule anything. We've only been ruled over. Like, we're good to stay here in the desert. And God's like, oh man, I have so much more for you. But because I am your provider, I'm going to meet you here with just enough. And then they get to the point, like, thank you God, we have enough for today. And then after a while they're like, God, why do we have just enough? And God's saying, I want to give you more than enough. But because you're stiff necked, because you're afraid, because you're disobedient and you're not going to step in to the more destiny that I have for you. That's where the more than enough is. But because you are stiff necked, afraid and disobedient living here in this desert, I'm just going to meet you here with just enough. It's not God's fault that you are living in the just enough. God has way more for you. But guess what? You're going to have to learn how to be someone who rules and reigns. You're going to have to learn some skills like business, like sales, like marketing, like finances, like taxes, like tax sheltering. You're going to learn, you're going to have to learn how economies work and how to build little economies and then a bigger one and then one for you and your family, then one for you and your business and then one for your employees. Families like, guys, this is how it works, see. Come up back here to the board. I want to break some concepts down for you here, okay? Let me break down these concepts. Come on board. There we go. Oops, wrong color. Let me submit something else to you, okay? Those of us in the priesthood, by the way, if you're getting some value, drop some fire emojis here. I'm trying to help some of y', all, okay? Because guys, my wife and I have been walking through this and wrestling through this for a number of years now and I feel like I'm just getting some language. I want to help you guys and bless you guys. But watch this in the priesthood, okay? We are always concerned, and rightfully so, with building altars, okay? And thank God we need altars, okay? But here's the deal in kingship, guess what? These guys and gals are always concerned about kings and queens. They're concerned with building cities. And by the way, thank God for cities. We need cities, okay? For the kings and queens who are called to build cities, thank God for them. For the priests who are called to build altars, thank God for them because we need both. But here's the problem, here's the problem for those religious small minded believers who think with this limiting thought that I can only be a priest or I can only be a king and in theory I could potentially be both. But I, it better not mean that we're actually kings with priesthood. Like you better not be a priest and make millions of dollars in business as well because if you do, like you're all about the money, you sold out and you serve mammon now. But in theory you could like, for those who have this religious mindset that it's only one or only the other. The problem with this, and this is one of the main reasons why that we now, in culture, we now have altars without cities, and we have cities without altars. Oh, guys, it's not God's will to only have altars and only have cities. Like, okay, kings and queens, you guys are over here. Just do your thing, build economies, build cities. And whatever you do, don't have any altars there. By the way, you priests over here, I. All you do is build altars. And whatever you do, don't build any cities, don't build any businesses, don't build any economies. Because if you do, you've. You've started worshiping mammon, right? Like, this is a limiting, false mindset that is not from the Father. Guys, why do I know this? Because of what we read back here in Revelation, chapter five, God says, I want you to be kings and priests both. Come on. I need at least 10 people in the comments to say, I am both. It's okay to be both. It's okay to be able to go into deep intercession for a nation or for a person and push back the plan of the enemy in the place of prayer or in the place of worship, right? To prophesy, to proclaim, to praise all on this side and also build businesses and build cities and build economies on this side. It's okay to do both. By the way, it's okay for those of you maybe you found this training and you're a king or a queen and you're learning how to be a priest. It's okay to build economies and build businesses and do marketing and sales and to generate income and also. And also heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, cast out devils. It's okay. And it is necessary for both. Okay? So if you're getting this, just drop it in a comment, say, I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. Because I'm going somewhere. I'm still. Y' all are listening too slow. Y' all are listening too slow. I'm trying to lay a foundation here because I really want to break this down even deeper. Okay? So remember what I was saying earlier. As far as I want to submit to you this idea that it is not God's will for his people to only live off of manna, to just. Only have just enough. It's not God's will. It's not his best. How do we know that? Because God has a promised land for each and every one of us. But because you're afraid, because you're unwilling to learn new skills of combat and ruling and kingship and economy, because you're unwilling and afraid, and you're like, well, God, why do we only have enough? Because how many of y' all know that just because you tithe 10% if you do the wrong thing with the other 90, all you're going to be is a broke tither? God said he's going to give us exceedingly, abundantly, above all we could ask, think, or imagine. But it hasn't happened yet. Guess why? Because you're sitting on the couch waiting for the Father to just poof miracles into your life. When God said, I'm not just going to poof miracles every time I want you to put action to your faith. Because faith without action, faith without works is dead. You got to actually go. And for him to say, I want to give you every place that your foot treads, well, guess what has to happen for that word to come to pass? Your foot has to tread. You actually have to take steps towards what God has called you to do. And I know that there's a number of people, close friends of mine, ministry acquaintances of mine, random people on the Internet who don't even know me from Adam or who kind of knew me because maybe they heard a worship song in the past. All of these people and many, many more. I'm not saying all in general. I'm saying many of them, right? All. All of these contexts of people. Many of them have just decided, like, oh, Pino lost his mind. I knew it. Rick's all about the money now. There he goes. Oh, how that's so sad. He was such a powerful worship leader. He was so anointed. And now he worships mammon every day. Poor guy. Hope he has fun burning in hell. I'm being exaggerated, right? Like, I don't believe people are condemning me to hell, but I'm just saying, like, people literally think that I have lost my mind. But, guys, I'm just telling you right now, God has been opening up this revelation of. It's not just one or the other, it's both, okay? And it's not just that God wants to just give us manna every day. God also wants to give us the spoils of the land. But it's going to take some new skills. It's going to take some new ideology around what it means to be a ruler and not just a servant, because that's what that's what the Egyptians did to the people of Israel, they enslaved them. So they, they came out of Egypt, but Egypt never came out of them. Okay? And so what I want you to understand is that if God is tapping you on the shoulder saying, yo, it's time for you to also learn how to be a king or a queen, then guys, I want to highly encourage you, then this is God. It's his will, it's his voice, it's his plan, it's his purpose. And there I'm telling you this, and I don't want to say that I'm prophesying it, but maybe I am. There are coming thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands and thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of us who are God's people, who are 110% priests, and we are also 110% kings and queens. I don't know how that math works, but you know what I'm saying, right? And it's God's will for us to grow in the strength of both. Because both of these graces touch past the temporal and into the eternal. Come with me here to the board. Watch this. Okay, so now that we are understanding that we can't just have altars without cities and cities without altars, okay, we need to have both. And in fact, I need at least 10 people in the comments right now. Drop these words both and both and not one or the other. Both and okay, it's kings and priests. It's both and okay, it's altars and its cities. It's both and okay, but watch this. Okay, I'm gonna give another diagram here. Okay, so many people who are coming from the priesthood, they're very, very happy and they're very content by living off of this miracle mentality. Okay, what does that mean? You know exactly what it means from the priesthood. And I'm talking from experience, not to, but from somebody who comes from there. Okay, These priests who are in full time vocational ministry. Maybe you're a pastor, maybe you're a missionary, maybe you're in the house of prayer, maybe you're in the worship movement and you're like really trying. Guess what we do a lot of times this isn't everybody, but a lot of times what a lot of us do what a lot of us did. Because I'm doing the other part now too. Okay, we would say this, God, please break in with whatever, a miracle of finances, Amen. And then we just wait around hoping God, poof, something into our lap. God, we need Breakthrough in our. In, in our mental health. Please, God, poof it into my brain. God, poof. And we're just expecting God to go poof, poof, poof, poof, poof. But guess what? Many of us, we stay sitting around questioning, like, God, I miss God, and God didn't answer my prayer. But guys, that's not the reality because it's Faith plus works, okay? So for a lot of us who are used to living off of miracle mentality, let me break down three places where miracles are shown in the Bible, okay? Now obviously there are many, many references, but just for the sake of time, I'm going to give you three things. Three things that miracles are needed for, okay? Number one, miracles are needed for deliverance, okay? How many of y' all know that if you are the one who needs a miracle, it's really hard for you to become the miracle for someone else? Uh oh, if you're always in the begging, orphan, like, God, please break in with miracles, I need your help, please. If you're there, how in the world are you going to be a blessing to somebody else if you're the one who always needs God to break in, right? Like, so miracles, number one, they're for deliverance. God in his goodness, he's like, guys, I'm here to deliver you. I want to help you. And you know, if you're down and out at the bottom of the barrel, like at the end of your rope, and you need a miracle, one of the ways that God releases miracles is for deliverance, okay? Another place where God releases miracles. I just want to mess with Samuel for a second, okay? Deserts, okay? So God releases miracles for deliverance. God releases miracles in deserts. I don't know about you all, but unless you are, again, the exception, this is not the rule. This is the exception. Unless you are someone like a John the Baptist, unless you are someone like maybe Elijah, not even Jesus, like, God doesn't call us to live in deserts. Yes, again, if there's an exception, by all means be blessed in God's grace, right? But even Jesus, he didn't live in a desert. He went to a desert for a season, right? But. And all of us go to deserts for seasons. All of us go through seasons that we need deliverance. But guys, this is not the status quo. This is not the normal. Every day we need miracles. Every single day, God we please break in. And God's like, well, here's some manna. Like, I have way more for you. But because you're fearful, because you're afraid, because you're unwilling to learn new skills on what it means to have dominion in the promised land because you're unwilling for all that because you're too afraid or because you're too religious. Here's some manna. And we're like, oh, thank you, God. I had barely enough today. But God, where's the more than enough? Please break in God with more and more miracles, more miracles. And he's going, guys, miracles are primarily for deliverance. They're primarily for deserts. And watch this number three, this is probably my favorite one. Demonstration. Miracles are also there just because sometimes God decides he wants to show off and do something absolutely wild, absolutely mind blowing, and he wants to release miracles just because he can, right? And that's awesome. Now, of course, there's probably some other context that for the sake of time, I don't have time to unfold every single place where a miracle happened in the Bible. But generally speaking, miracles happen when somebody needs deliverance, when someone's in deserts, right, and they need breakthrough to come out of the desert. And when God just decides he wants to demonstrate his goodness and show off his glory and his power. But nowhere in this context are miracles what his people are supposed to live off of. Because if we are always in crisis mode needing a miracle, God, please help me. Oh my God, if you're always there, how are you going to be a blessing for someone else? Like, guys, I want to submit to you. I want to encourage you. You've got to get out of the crisis mode of always needing a miracle. And you need to switch in to what I'm about to talk about next here. Okay? So this is what happens with miracles. But watch this. Here's what happens when you walk in wisdom. By the way, I need at least 10 people in the comments right now. Drop these words. Wisdom is better than miracles. Wisdom is better than miracles. In fact, before I break down wisdom, incredible, incredible insight here, let me break this down for you, okay? I'm going to rapid fire a few scriptures at you. How many of you all know that Proverbs chapter four tells us that wisdom is the principal thing, right? Wisdom is the principal thing. And so I want to just throw this out there. Proverbs 16:16. Wisdom is better than riches. Ecclesiastes 9:18. Wisdom is better than weapons of war. Proverbs 8:11. Wisdom is better than precious jewels. Ecclesiastes 7, 19:40. Wisdom is better than strength. Ecclesiastes 7:12. Wisdom is better than knowledge. Ecclesiastes 7, verse 1. Wisdom is better than honor. Ecclesiastes 9, 16. Wisdom is better than beauty. Ecclesiastes 4:13. Wisdom is better than youth. And there's many, many, many more. But what's the point I'm trying to make here? Wisdom. Proverbs 4. Wisdom is the principal thing in all you're getting, get wisdom. What Solomon is not telling us here is in all you're getting, please get more miracles. Please hear my heart. I'm not saying miracles are wrong. I'm not saying it's, it's wrong of us to be in the place of need for miracles. But I submit to you, when you get out of crisis mode, like the broke mindset, the orphan mindset that so many priests have, God, please break in with just enough. Oh God, when you get out of that and you start walking in wisdom, you are no longer in crisis mode. Because guess what? Wisdom is better than all these things. Wisdom is better than miracles. And it is my conviction that though in the priesthood there are, there are appropriate times and places for the miraculous in kingship, the primary dispensation is not God, give us a miracle, it's God help me to walk in wisdom. Because watch this, guys. Here are three things that wisdom is for, okay? Wisdom is for the day to day. Many people with this religious busted mentality, like false mindset mentality that like, oh God, just break in, please, I just need a miracle. Like, how in the world are you thriving in your day to day? Like, if the unbeliever were to see you in crisis mode all the time, why the heck would they want to give their lives to Jesus? Like, wait, you want me to like, surrender my life to God so I can like, be like her? Be like him, like always, like in crisis mode? That doesn't sound very appealing. Who is your father anyway? That sounds like an indictment against him. Like, is he really that bad? No, it's not him. It's the people who have wrong mindsets about how he works, right? So wisdom is what we need to live in the day to day. It's not miracles in the day today in the sense of God, please, I need a miracle. I'm going to die. Like, yes, miracles in the day. Today the sun rises. A miracle. Yes. Like my children laughing and, you know, embracing me. My wife's beauty, she's really hot. You know, all these things are miracles. Like miracles. Kids are being born every day, like butterflies, like all of its miracles. All of its miracles, right? The oceans, beautiful. It's all miracles. I'm not talking about those kind of miracles. I'm talking about miraculous. Like crisis mode, God break in, right? We're not to live off the crisis mode daily. We're supposed to apply wisdom so that we can have a good life day to day and have God's blessing upon our life because wisdom brings that with it. So number one, wisdom is for the day to day. Number two, wisdom is for development. Again, in the old false mindset, crisis mode. God, please break in with wisdoms. How? God, please break in with miracles. How come you didn't poof anything into my lap today? God, with that mindset, okay, that a lot of priests come from, okay, they don't understand that. Mostly. Again, once in a while, God might choose to deliver. He might choose to do something in a desert. He might choose to demonstrate. That's completely fine. But most of the time, the way that God answers is through development. Like, you never look at part of God's creation, like the order that God created, for instance, like a human being besides Adam. He doesn't just poof humans into existence. Being. You're a fully mature adult who has all this lifelong wisdom. Poof. Poof. You're a complete flower out of nothing. Poof. You're a complete tree out of nothing. Poof. You're a complete adult whale who's lived 100 years and now you have all this size and this beauty and this majesty. God doesn't do that. What does God do? God says, seed, seed, seed. Little by little, little by little, little by little, little by little, little by little, little by little. Right? Now, of course, there might be a whale out there that God just miraculously poofed into into existence, right? Like that might happen. I don't know. There might be a random flower out there that God just poofs and we don't know about it, right? But the way that God works is through development. And how do we become developed in the kingship, in the. In being kings and being queens. How do we become developed by applying wisdom. I need at least 10 people in the comments right now. Drop this word wisdom, wisdom, guys, and watch this. Hey, real quick. If you've made it this far into the video and you're liking it, do me a favor. Share this video with somebody that you think might also receive some value. My biggest heart in this channel is to simply bring some awareness, financial literacy, and do it all from a biblical perspective. Perspective. So go ahead and share the video like and subscribe. Do all that stuff too. Back to the video. Wisdom number three. Sorry. The third thing that wisdom brings. So we need wisdom for the day to day. We need wisdom for development and we need wisdom for dominance. How many of y' all know that in the book of Genesis, God gave us a dominion mandate? He said, guys, I want you guys, guys and gals to go out there and subdue the earth. I want you to dominate. I want you to work this land. I want you to bring forth blessing. I want you to be fruitful and multiply like God is expecting for us to move into what he is doing himself as the king of all kings. He wants us to become kings and queens. If you're a woman, right? And he wants us to, to also learn how to dominate, how to rule, how to reign. And we're not gonna do this with, like, God, please break in with a miracle and just, you know, help me create a citywide economy that will Bless, you know, 400,000 people. Amen. And poof, here you go. You don't have to work on it. Just poof, it's a miracle. No, God's saying, no, I want you to walk in wisdom in the day to day so that when you walk in wisdom, you can also develop in the way that I have called you to develop. And, and after you develop that way, the more you develop, the more you can dominate. Guys, when it comes to being kings and priests, this is my final thought. I'm going to wrap with this. Check this out, okay? When it comes to being kings and priests, okay, One of the reasons, one of the reasons why my wife and I, we've decided to go full blown into the marketplace is because we are walking with this revelation that I'm giving you, just the little 5%, 10% version of what God's speaking to us with this, right? But we know that God has this plan to see his kingdom come to earth. And yes, the priesthood is a gigantic part of it. But guys, it's not just priesthood only. It's also kings and queens. It's priests and kings together. And this is what I want to say here, okay? There's the priesthood, there's the kingship, okay? And don't be religious to think that it's only the priesthood. Don't be prideful to think that it's only kings, right? It's only queens, it's only business, it's only economy. What we need to do is we need to understand that for most of us, okay, a few are being called just to priests, a few are being called just to kings. But for most of us, God is calling us to both and he's calling us to the Place of intercession and fasting and prayer and non stop day and night adoration, worship, right and not or. And he's also calling us to build businesses to break generational poverty off of our families so that your children and your children's children get the blessing of God upon their life and they never have to struggle anymore. Because you chose to be a generational curse breaker. You chose. I'm not just going to live off manna. I'm going to go into the promised land. And in order to do that I need to not just be a slave mentality like God, please break in. I'm going to learn how to rule, how to reign, how to build businesses, how to market, how to sell what is available in today. I'm going to learn how to build funnels, I'm going to learn about AI. I'm going to learn how to use all of the opportunity that's available to me today. Because God said that every place my foot treads, he's going to give to me. Guys, I'm not going to lie to you. Like I gave my heart, I gave my soul, I gave everything to the development of those early clunky unfolding years of process in the priesthood. And then all of a sudden I woke up one day 25 years later and was considered by, by some, you know, to be one of the, one of the priests of worship, right? Only God knows, who knows, but some saw me like that. I also believe that now in this place of my business journey, your business journey, as we also sign up for the clunky unfolding. Listen, I am not claiming to know how to do this, right? I'm not claiming to know how to market correctly. I'm not claiming to know how to build businesses. I mean I've built a number of very successful multi, seven, even eight figure businesses. I'm not claiming to know how to do that though. I still don't know what I'm doing. I'm not claiming to know how to do this the correct way. Why? Because I'm still, in my opinion, I'm still at the beginning unfolding, clunky process. But guess what? In five years from now, in 10 years from now and 20 years from now, whatever God sees fit in his grace, however he wants to do that I desire and I believe that one day I'm going to wake up and I'm going to be, me and my wife are going to be sitting in this place of kingship, queenship, right? We're starting to step into it now. But I'm talking about, like, real ruling, real reigning. Not just, like, only prayer. Prayer's amazing. Please keep praying. But not just prayer, but prayer and checks. Not just altars, but altars and cities. Right? Like, it's not just one or the other, guys. It's both. And. And if you feel like God is tapping you on the shoulder right now in this season, and you're coming from the place of a ministry background or missions or prayer movement or pastoring or whatever in the world it is, and you feel like God's calling you to business in this hour, I want to highly encourage you. You are not alone. This is what God is doing here in this moment, and I would be honored to continue to serve you guys and gals here in these trainings. Okay?
