So when we're talking, if we're doing a show or something, I'll talk and then I'll pause so he can say something. But if once he starts talking, if I want to say something, I have to start interrupting him or start talking. So he knows that I want to say something so he can finish up what he's going to say and then let me speak. Otherwise, he would talk the entire show. Yeah, I'm i'm okay. you know I'm anointed to talk. You are anointed.
Speaker: for even five hours without being nonstop. When it comes to the Word of God, canno bi it that's passion of well you the Word of God. and that does' it make me I get a excited and when we begin to dive into the Scriptures. I love the Word of God. It's yummy. a man I always say, God, I just want to dive in Your Word and swim around because it's just you know it's so good.
Speaker: Oh, thank you Jesus. So, ah you know what, I know for sake of time, I know we don't have a lot of time for this, but you know what, if we didn't finish this, we'll follow, would we do part two, part three, part five, we see, we we may be on the same subject for the next two years.
Speaker: anything is possible. And I think before we dive into it, if you have a note, you know just grab a grab and find find a pen or a pencil, take a note, because this will help you, because 20 minutes of spiritual nuggets may not be enough for you and that's why you gotta to go back to the scriptures. How many times Jesus says you know you err because you don't know the scriptures you know what I'm saying and how many times the Bible says you must study the scriptures to show yourself approved. A workman, unashamed. You have to study out You have to know what is is going on and not just to read it. You know what I'm saying? Now, there's no scripture ever said to read the scripture, said you to study. Now, reading scripture, so reading the information that God has given to you, it is the entryway into the supernatural. I'm telling you Well, and there's so many scriptures about it reading the Word of God and doing it, and doing not just reading it, yeah but doing it. just Yeah, it is that the the action part that brings the answer to our prayers. Well, in fact, Jesus said, if you if you hear my word and you don't do it, you're like somebody who built your house on sand. Sand, yeah.
Speaker: But if you hear my word and do it, it's like someone who built your house on rock. And both people, rain's going to come, storms are going to come, things are going to happen. But the persons whose house is built on the rock will stand. Those who are listening and doing the work will make it. Wow, that is my life. I received that. I have to build my life upon the rock because I don't want any tsunami.
Speaker: you know, tornadoes, you know, are flooding to affect my life. Your life is like your your career, your relationship, or everything that is concerning you as a person. So I know we've been talking about the recipe for success yeah in the in the kingdom of God. You know, we need to know this. I don't want to go back to what we discussed last week, but let me remind you a few things. God's dreams for your life is for you to have successful life. All right?
Speaker: God's dream for all of us is to stay healthy. God's desire for mankind is for us to be to prosper financially, ah right to prosper, to be successful in you know in in our finances.
Speaker: All right, God doesn't get pleasure. He doesn't get excited when we, His children, suffer, have to struggle or strive to see something happen or to do so to do anything. God wants all of us to be successful. That's what brings Him glory and honor. And, you know, it's one of the reasons why He has to send His Son, Jesus, to die for us. for us so we can become successful because when the first man, you know, give up his right, God, your father was not happy about this and he have to come as what? Man, he came like us. He became like us to bring us back to that face, the first fellowship that Adam has were lost. But thank God that the second Adam,
Speaker: but Everything was through the second Adam. Everything was restored back to what is supposed to be. yeah And I thank God that God is a God of compassion. He loves us. He loves you. He loves your loved one. And He wants you to succeed. So what we're going to talk about today, I know it may seem like a recipe. It may seem like it is a big subject.
Speaker: I'm talking about recipe you know in life. when you you have to you when you yeah you can There's a recipe to make, a you know ah let's say, enchilada. There's a recipe to make lamb chops.
Speaker: Lamb chops. Lamb chops, yeah. There's a recipe for every meal. And same thing, there's a recipe for us to stay healthy, to be successful. There's so many stuff that we can apply this into. So what I'm going to ask you to do is at the end of this, the scripture we are given to you, just go, stick at time, study the scriptures so you can receive the honey part of the scripture. That's what makes the difference. So, and one of the things that I believe, I said this, God wants me to succeed. He wants you to succeed in everything that you do in this life. It may seem like I'm repeating myself, but I'm not repeating myself. Because God's words, the Word of God, the words of God does not return back to Him, void it, but it shall accomplish everything that He says. And that's what I'm after.
Speaker: God's words, that's what I need. You know, most of the time when I pray, ah you know, adam don't I don't ask for things because I know, Father, help me to understand the scriptures. Help me to know what you are telling me because I know the power to produce or to receive the answer is in that hearing, knowing what God is expecting. from me because I can I told you last week that we are creator. We are like God Himself. He made us in His own image. And you can do everything that God did. He gave us that power is the power of speech. So there's a recipe for success in the kingdom of God. And and I'm going to read, we're going to read the scriptures and to show you how to apply, you know, these instructions into your life. You know, I just wish the Holy Spirit just remind me of scriptures who says,
Speaker: You know, poverty and shame shall be unto him who why reject instructions. If you reject that recipe, you will be a failure in this life. All right. So poverty and destruction shall be unto him.
Speaker: all right, who reject instructions. So, folks, don't reject what God is telling you. Receive that. When you receive it, you know you will experience joy in your life. So, let's go to Book of Joshua, Chapter 1. I know some of you, you have read these script scriptures many times. and know I'm going to explain a few things to you, and you yeah your life will never be the same. In the Book of Joshua, Chapter 1, Verse 8, all right, Book of Joshua, chapter one, verse eight. Wow, verse nine, or seven, is so beautiful. But I'm gonna just say verse eight. You know, the Bible says, this i say listen to the construction. That's what we're gonna focus on ah go to focus on this on this program. Listen to the construction of God's Word. There's a reason why God is something we're mentioned in the scriptures.
Speaker: They say, this book of the law, all right? They're talking about the Bible, God's you know god's instruction, shall not depart out of what? Not in thy head or their eyes, even though your head and your eyes are very, very important. Listen to this say, this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth.
Speaker: Wow, blessed be Jesus. But thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou may observe to do accordingly, according to all that is written therein. For then, for then, because of that, okay thou shall make thy way prosperous.
Speaker: And then thou shalt have what have good so success. and Wow. Listen to God's instruction, God's guidance. He's telling you, I'm not going to rush. I'm going to stay in these scriptures or actually explain because you need to understand this is ah this is the backbones.
Speaker: for there to have or to follow the recipe for success in the kingdom of God. and It says, this book of the law shall not depart out of their mouth, but thou shall meditate. Now, the key in this verse is the meditation part. There's a lot of Christians today, even spiritual, are so lazy, they don't know how to meditate God's instructions, or God's words. You know, if you understand Jewish people, that is what they go to, what is it? What do you call this? have me seneca No, no doubt oh let me see, the wailing, what is it? A wailing wall? Yes, yes. Listen to this very carefully. This guy is very smart because they are following this. That's what God told them. That is why they go, they should move their head, you know. Guess what? They are meditating, they are meditating scriptures. All right. This book of the Lord shall not depart out of their mouth.
Speaker: Alright, thou shall meditate day and night. Now, meditation, go ahead, sorry. Well, and and that that law shall not depart out out of thy mouth thy mouth. That's also, so it's meditation, it's studying the Word of God, right? Because you're keeping it continuously, continuously speaking it and going over it. Because remember,
Speaker: When this was being written, you would you would memorize it, right? And not everybody didn't have books. You had to know the Word of God. So keeping it in your mouth meant that you were studying it. You were rehearsing the Word of God. Amen. So I want to explain, I'm going to give you the meaning of meditation. Now, there's a different levels of meditation. We let those devils steal this away from us. you know I don't want to get into that subject. So God is smart. He knows and the devil and and the devil is it has been deceiving. He's been deceiving so many people. So we need to correct that immediately. Now meditation means what? To ah ponder. Is it ponder? How to go? Yeah, ponder. Yeah.
Speaker: That means that you are, ah ah you say something with a low, what is it, under your breath, all right? And it means that you are you are thinking through something in your mind, all right? and me Also, meditation means that you are well you you are speaking things under your voice, with a low voice.
Speaker: Also meditation means that you are shouting or you are declaring. That's the meaning of meditation. That's what I said at different levels. Now, just to read the scriptures, reading in the scriptures is not enough. That may not take you far. It has the entry to step into that realm of meditation. That's why he's telling the people here, if you can make sure the Word of God is in your mouth. Now, thinking through is great, but you have to bring into your mouth. You have to speak. That's why it says, it shall not depend out of that mouth. Now, meditation also means what to imagine.
Speaker: All right? To imagine something or to visualize something. It is a picture or to conceive or to brood over something. You know what I'm saying? So ah to speak under your voice. I'm giving you a lot of meaning for meditation here. All right? Say to oneself, contemplating on the Word of God. And the Bible says, if you speak under your voice God's instructions and make sure is yeah you know did you do this day and night. It is a one time, one month in a year or once a week. It's a day and night. And wow, this is so beautiful. And that thou may observe to do accordingly as it is written.
Speaker: Now, when you do all of this, the Bible says, so if you want to succeed in life, you have to make a time to meditate on God's promises. You have to meditate on God's decrees, God's instructions. That's what makes the difference.
Speaker: All right. So you can just read the scriptures a thinking that everything is going to be okay. No, you have to. It is a command from God. So it's up to you. If you want to succeed in life, you have to make a time. I can make this time for you. I have to do my own.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying? Everybody's busy. Everybody's doing something. We have ah we have crazy schedules and everybody, but we have to make a time for God. Amen. If you want to succeed in just life. So you have to meditate. You have to visualize, imagine. You have to rule over. You have to speak speak out. And the last part of meditation, the one of the meanings of meditation means what? You to roll on something like a lion. wa was roaring on his prey. Wow. When you get it to that level for roaring on God's but promises, nothing in this life will stop you in your progress in the name of Jesus. So,
Speaker: So it says, now, if you listen to the construction, let's go back. Can we all have that scripture one more time? Joshua chapter that one, verse eight. And, you know, it says that, see, when you meditate on the scriptures, all right, remember, um when we that are born again, all has received the gospel of Jesus. We that are saved today, you know, our heart was circumcised. yeah okay The Word of God is not the outside force as it was in the day of Joshua, ah Moses, you know all of ah ah ah ah a ah Abraham.
Speaker: oh Because it says now it's written on our hearts. And our heart is already in you. All right. When you are born again, the word of God has come to reside in you. All right. So because now if you meditate on what has been deposited in you,
Speaker: The Bible says, and that may observe to do. He's not telling you that he's because it because it now it has become the inside force, that the Word of God, because He's already inside of you, who compels you. Wow. war i What is the verse?
Speaker: It's like, you know, violently, is this suddenly, or violently, the word of God will cause you to do, to act accordingly, not to obey. There's a big difference. All right? There's a big difference here. This is so beautiful.
Speaker: may observe to do. It didn't say you will obey the scriptures here. yeah It's not talking about obeying the scriptures. It's talking about doing the scriptures because God's Word is already inside of you. The Word of God will compel you. It becomes the insight that will cause you to act accordingly. right So you have no way out. It's like you are sort out.
Speaker: to God Himself. So the Word of God will compel you, will cause you to act accordingly. Food, what a better place to be, knowing that all your actions, you know, or what you speak, things that you do is controlled by what? God's instruction, the recipe for success. Now, there's a recipe to succeed financially. So I know Different time we'll get into all the all this detail. We'll give you more detail what um you know in the in your finances. wash you you what What God is expecting from you. So we'll present it to you. Now it's up to you to receive it. You need to receive that.
Speaker: So the Bible said, because of that, the eyes the o the that supernatural energy inside of you will cause you to do. And folks, that's why I can never, we can never overemphasize this. Get to know the scriptures. yeah Meditate on the scripture. No, just don't just read the scriptures and study. See, meditation also cause you to study the scriptures. yeah ah You are hungry for something. You can find some things in the surface. You have to dive into the things and the things of the Spirit, the things of God, all right? When you dive into it and there's something, God begin to open your eyes. You see things that you couldn't see before. You begin to experience things that, you know, on the outside look so difficult. Life becomes very, very easy. Wow, I love this.
Speaker: When you dive into the Scripture, when you meditate on the Scriptures, life becomes very easy for you or for anyone. I know for the sake of time, we only have 10 minutes to go, and i really we really want to pray for you, that God will continue to bless you. And I have got so many Scriptures. I want to camp on this one to explain. So, so so folks, yeah make a time.
Speaker: Let the Word of God be in you. Read it. Study the scriptures. All right. Voice it out. Speak it out. When you do these things, the Bible says the Word of God will cost you God Himself. See, God's Word is God Himself. Yeah.
Speaker: All right, that's what he says. I why i have exalted, God exalted his own words above all his name. All things will pass away. But he said to you and I, my words will never pass away. Folks, we are i We are victorious no matter what we face, we encounter in this life. so And I'm so excited that the Holy Spirit is reminding us that for the next side half of this year, okay, and if we want to experience the blessing that God you know has spoken to us by the end of this year, these are the things that we must do.
Speaker: Yeah, and we can give you some homework too, so yeah so you can study this more in depth. Go read Deuteronomy 28, because it talks about if you do the Word of God, get it you know do the Word of God, these are the blessings that will come upon you. Proverbs 1.
Speaker: um says that these Proverbs of Solomon's purpose is to teach, and then verse 3 says it's to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives. It's talking about the Word of God, the purpose of the Proverbs of the Word of God is to live disciplined and successful life. So go study that. there are There are so many scriptures I just gave you two so you can go on your own and read them. But there are so many scriptures that talk about that and the power of the Word of God to change your life. And it's also how
Speaker: When you're talking about meditating just really quick, I always think of that when I think faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, a man that meditating on the word of God opens your ears to hear the meaning of the word of God. And faith comes faith comes from that, right? And the book of James tells us that faith without works is dead. Why? Because when you get the word of God on the inside of you, it produces works just like you were talking about.
Speaker: It's not that you're trying to obey, you naturally begin to line up man with the Word of God and do the Word of God when you're studying the Word of God and meditating and getting it on the inside of you. It causes you. because is so powerful. yeah know some There's a difference between obeying God's instruction and doing God's instruction. In the Old Testament, they have tried, trust me, read your Bible very well, they have tried everything, tried to obey, but they couldn't.
Speaker: follow the instructions. That's why God saw this. He saw a fault. He said something wrong with this because the law was a spiritual, but the people are still living in their flesh. yeah That's why Christ have to come.
Speaker: to circumcise our heart so we can receive spiritual, spiritual spirit. to spirit yes So in a New Testament, He never asked any one of us. Let me repeat this one more time. You read your Bible very carefully. You study the Word of God. God only asked us to do it. Why? If it wasn't possible, He would never ask you to do it. all right He would never ask you to apply, to act on what He has told you.
Speaker: so In the New Testament, we were called, we all dan we were ordained to do. Why? Because of the death of Jesus. We came out of the spirit of obedience. That's what the Bible says, because He obeyed the Father. That's why when you are born again, you are born from the Spirit. You are born from, because of Jesus, we have eternal life. We are saved today. We came out of that spirit of obedience. That spirit is already inside of you. It came with the gospel. It's not something that we're trying to do. That's why in the New Testament, you have to be tempted.
Speaker: All right, just another day subject. So, so that you came out of that spirit of obedience. That seed is already inside of you. That's what he is asking you to apply. Do it. It's easy now to do. Now, if you need help, if you find yourself in a place that you couldn't do, it's hard for you to do it. All right? That's why we have the Holy Ghost.
Speaker: Thank God for the Holy Spirit that was sent from our Father to help us to do things that He's telling us. Jesus says but powerful statement, meant why why you are, you know, you call me Lord, but you don't do what?
Speaker: Do what I say. It is that you don't obey. It's that you don't read the original translation. You don't do what I say to you, folks. It is the doing part. Now, your prosperity, all right, your success is pray precondition on your meditation and your thoughts controls your words, what you speak out. And your words controls your action. And your action controls your lifestyle. And your lifestyle will always control your destiny. Very simple. That's life. So people's problem, you know what I'm saying? The source of people's problem is in their tough.
Speaker: your thinking process, how you reason. And now you can only reason something that you have put it inside. So that's why get back to the scriptures. know You gotta know what God is speaking to you. so And we will, what is it, explain a little bit more for next program. so And I believe that all of you have been so blessed. ah It may seem like is ah is now,
Speaker: You know, it is the simplicity of the gospel make the power of God or the power of God in action. It caused the power of God to be in action, you know? And that's what I'm going to encourage you. Don't give up on yourself.
Speaker: Go back to the scriptures. Read the Word of God. If you have to read one scripture 25 times a day, do it. I highly recommend it. Do it. Because as you keep speaking, i keep what? Meditating on those scriptures, you're going to see yourself doing it.
Speaker: and No, no. It's not going to be hard for you. So I know what I'm telling you. I can only tell you what I apply. my we ah i Because I'm not a hypocrite. I tell can only tell you what I do. First, I love to roar, roaring on the scriptures. I like to shout the scriptures. Hey, I'm ready to shout. My God shall supply. See, that's meditation. My God shall supply all, not just my needs, but my one, according to what? His riches in glory in Christ Jesus is one of the example. I will not die, but I shall live to declare the glory of God. See, now, I wasn't just thinking. I'm speaking it out.
Speaker: If I will say, you have to speak it. When you speak it, guess what? Everything around you is compelled just to do what you are declaring. So be blessed. May the Spirit of God bless you this day. May the power of God rest upon you. May you prosper in everything that you put your hands upon. The works of your hands is blessed, must be blessed in the name of Jesus. No more drought. i We prophesy that you are the head only. You are above only. May the glory of God rest upon you.
