Spark - Part 5 - Giving Generously

If your if your right eye causes you or if your right eye keeps you from having a close relationship with God, gouge it out and throw it away. If your right hand is keeping you, the things that you're doing is keeping you from having a close extravagant relationship with the Lord, cut it off and throw it away. In other words, what I'm saying is, if it's causing you to be distracted, if there's things in our life that are keeping us from having a relationship with the Lord, I think we need to remove them. I think he desires fellowship with us. It says in Revelation three twenty, he says, look, I've been standing at the door. So I see I see a picture of Jesus. He says, I'm standing at the door and I'm constantly knocking. [00:32:52] (42 seconds)  #CutOutDistractions

He gave He he already gave us everything for us. I'm the type of person that like, I can't do stuff half heartedly. I've never been the type of person that half heartedly do something. God gave his all for us. Jesus came. He left heaven and came down on earth so he could give his everything for us. He gave up everything and he gave his life up for us. Why shouldn't I give my all to him? Why shouldn't I give him everything that I am? Everything I have has come from him anyways. And he first he first was more than I could have ever been. He gave his everything for me. And that's what we call the gospel. [01:01:43] (39 seconds)  #GiveYourAllToJesus

And give according to what you have, not what you don't have. So a lot of people, that I think is one of the most important parts to hear. Give according to what you have, not what you don't have. You might hear some of this stuff on on TV. You might hear some of these these these preachers who are saying if you sow this amount of money, God's gonna give you this. Well, you might not have this amount of money. Say they say give give a thousand dollars, and God's gonna give you 10,000. Right? If you don't have a thousand dollars, that doesn't even line up with God's word. He says, whatever you give is acceptable. [00:45:28] (31 seconds)  #GiveAccordingToMeans

And I believe again like Matthew five twenty nine says, we should be diligent to remove what is keeping us from living a generous life. There's things in our life that I think we just need to cut off. We just need to gouge out. We just need to get rid of. And I think we need to align our life with God's priorities. Again, as we're closing, I wanna read Revelation five twelve. Again, another interesting scripture verse. But it says, worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise. In other words, worthy is the lamb who's worthy of it all.
