If we don't know that God wants us rich, we won't be able to pray for it. Hear me clear. We won't be able to believe it. And we won't be able to receive it. You know what's so sad about this? That this lie gets mingled in our head, in our mind, in our lives, and then we pass on this lie to our kids. And it's a vicious circle that keeps going over and over from one generation to the next and it never breaks. [00:54:27] (30 seconds)  #BreakTheWealthLie

When we do not understand the purpose of something, we miss its benefits. We misuse it, even abuse it, all due to misunderstanding and lack of revelation. And that's where so many of us are with the idea of riches. God's plan to financially prosper us has become misunderstood, has become misused, and that has become abused. We might find ourselves chopping carrots on something much more valuable than a cutting board. [00:55:36] (32 seconds)  #UnderstandToProsper

God, however, is no respecter of a person. The only qualification that is required here is your faith. In this verse, man, if you read this verse over and over again, you'll start seeing that there's no lack. However, sufficiency in all things means that you have your needs met, but it doesn't stop there. You will always have abundance for every good work. You will not only have enough, but you will also have more than enough. This is the God that we serve. He just doesn't give you what you need, but he always gives you more than you need.

So you can take his blessing. We either believe the word of God, church, or we don't believe the word of God. It's very simple. Either you believe it or you don't. If we're going to throw out prosperity, provision, blessings, and God's willingness to care for his children, then we are discrediting the nature of God, of who he is and his character. If we believe that prosperity isn't for us, then maybe we also believe that healing isn't for us, forgiveness isn't for us, and deliverance is not for us, too. It's either all true or it's all a lie. We need to decide. [01:08:41] (45 seconds)  #BelieveInGodsProvision

In heaven, all the streets are made of gold. And it's not the fake gold. It's real stuff. The foundation of the walls are made of precious gemstones. Just close your eyes for a minute. And just imagine. Oh, we'll be walking on gold. The streets of gold. The walls are made of precious gemstones. And the gates, guys, the gates are made of pearls. The storehouse church in heaven, there is no lack. No lack whatsoever. Everything that is needed is provided. Jesus left all of that and became poor for our sake. He experienced poverty so that through his lack, we will be made rich. [01:10:25] (45 seconds)  #AllInFaithOrNone

Your physical, I love what Carly Terradez says. She says, your physical condition does not determine your spiritual position. Man, if you're taking notes, write that down. I forgot to put it on the thingy. I said, come on, your physical condition does not determine your spiritual position. I don't care what you're seeing right now. I don't care what's falling apart in your body. I don't care what's falling apart in your finances. It doesn't matter. Know who you are in the Lord and how he has made you. So God. That's the grace of God. [01:13:10] (41 seconds)  #HeavenlyRichesPromise

See, church, we were made and designed by God to impact lives through our generosity. Because giving changes lives. Listen, the three I's of this church, what are they? Those that have taken membership class, we drilled this in your head. What are they? Ignite hearts. Illuminate minds. And what else? And impact lives. That's the three I's. Ignite hearts. That's what Storehouse was made and designed. We're going to ignite hearts. We're going to illuminate minds with God's powerful truth. And we're going to impact lives with your generosity. [01:24:31] (41 seconds)  #RejectPartialBelief

As I stated earlier, God not only wants you to be rich, but he needs his people to be rich so that we could be like good Samaritans all around the world. Hallelujah. God needs our faith to move on this earth. And he needs us to have resources so that we can touch the lives of people who are hurting. Those are all saying that goes, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. God wants the world to know how much he cares for them. God wants the world to know how much he loves them. God wants the world to know that he's a good, good father that can give good, good gifts. One way we're able to do that is by blessing them, providing for them, and giving to them. All of that requires Storehouse Church. It requires money. And that's why God wants you rich.

``Because Storehouse Church, we are living billboards for godly increase. We are living billboards for godly increase. The reason the body of Christ is supposed to give to one another is so that we can all abound in a supernatural way. God doesn't want his children to experience wealth and finances in the same way that the world does. His desire is for the church to stand out. His desire is for the church to be different. Our lives shouldn't be the same as unbelievers' lives. We should be living billboards that advertise the supernatural blessing and favor of God. [01:35:20] (41 seconds)  #GenerosityHeals

We can choose to be a billboard that impacts other people's lives through generosity, just the way the good Samaritan did. Because what's Storehouse Church? Giving changes lives. Stand with me. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. [01:36:19] (20 seconds)  #FaithMovesResources
