First Is First Honoring God 02/15/2026

Heaven rejoices when we activate our faith. Heaven rejoices when we take steps of faith. Heaven rejoices when we extend a hand for someone in need. And heaven rejoices when some human being realizes that they've been chasing things in life, but that they have yet to accept Jesus as their savior. I want you to bow your heads very quickly, but if there's someone here today that you're like, I don't even know why I'm in church or I don't even know why I'm listening online, But God knew that you would because he loved you. He created you. [01:43:52] (43 seconds)  #HeavenRejoices

That you know that god will come through? That you know that god's word will stand, that you and I will know that regardless of situations, regardless of doctor reports, regardless of a negative report, god is faithful. Can we give him a clap offering? God is faithful to the very end. In the name of Jesus, god is faithful. He's faithful to the very end. I'm going to trust him. And I'm going to walk by his word.

Jesus didn't pressure him. Jesus didn't try to convince him. Jesus didn't start, like, chastising him. He just had a relationship with him. Amen. Out of that relationship, out of that moment, the Holy Spirit convicted him and he says, Jesus, I am gonna give it all back. In matter of fact, if I have to give it what, three, four times, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make it right. [01:32:53] (28 seconds)  #RepentAndRestore

Scripture is very clear that it says if you honor me in the what? In the little. In the little. I'll take away more from you? No. It says, I'll place you in the much. That's right. Oh, but my mind my mind is telling me that I should, but my heart is telling me that it's too risky. Colossians three two says, set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

And now all of a sudden, I didn't give to receive because sometimes people get it wrong like, no. No. No. You you just want me to give to receive. No. That's not the whole concept. The concept is that out of gratitude, out of worship, I'm gonna bless my lord. Yes. And as a result of that, god turns around through his generosity and through his love and opens a door that we never envisioned that can be opened. So here's the generosity flow.

Generosity begins in the heart. If the heart trusts god, giving becomes an act of worship. Say worship. I've read the scriptures. I know the scriptures and and some of us even memorize scripture. And there's nothing wrong with that. But there's a problem. Right, Connie? When I know a lot of scripture, I know a lot of word. I'm very articulate, but I don't trust God. That's right. That's right. [01:09:27] (28 seconds)  #GenerosityIsWorship

The mind controls our belief systems, our thought patterns, faith versus fear, and our perspective about provision. The mind determines how we think about money, security, provision, ownership, and stewardship. Anybody being a steward of something? It should be everybody raising their hand. Amen. A steward is someone that manages something. Right? You're managing your home. You're managing your children. You're managing your marriage. You're managing your health. You're managing your life. You're managing your job. [01:23:10] (36 seconds)  #MindShapesBelief

If I have not been on the right track, it's still okay to say, Lord, I'm sorry. I'm gonna make it right. I'm gonna honor you. I'm gonna worship you, and I'm gonna trust you in the name of Jesus. And we talked about what's gonna happen on the twenty eighth day. God knows. What he'll do with our mind as he renews our mind and as he begins to work in our heart to trust him at a deeper level.
