Where do you get that? Look at the verse. Money is obedient. What do I mean by that? Money will take your life wherever you direct it to take your life Yes. Without any pushback. Yeah. Money just follows the direction of its owner. Whether if you if if by whatever your habits and your financial systems tell money to do, that's where money will take. Either you'll you'll squander it in sin or you enhance your life by it, but it has nothing to do with money's decision. It is all on you. [00:02:04] (32 seconds)  #MoneyFollowsYou

I wanna tell you God is serious about you stewarding what he gave you. Stewarding what you earned him. Stop telling me I ain't good with it. Get good with it. Get good. Get better with it. Amen? Because listen, you got three people. All of them were given something according to their ability. Alright. Two of them heard, well done, good and faithful servant. Yeah. One of them heard, you bad and lazy. I'm just the last thing I wanna hear from God Is that I'm lazy. Is that I'm bad and lazy. Let's pray. [00:11:54] (32 seconds)  #LevelUpYourStewardship

What you just heard was enough for you to walk with. You don't have to be forty five minutes. If you do that, if I read that passage as if it's me the rest of my life, I'm gonna be a better person. You go how many of know you're have a better family life, you're gonna have a better environment? Because you're gonna be better. When you when you take responsibility for being a first Corinthians 13 person, then the behavior of other people is not is not the dominant thing, it's my reaction to it. [00:35:47] (35 seconds)  #Be1Corinthians13

but you're have to answer to God. That's all. That's all. You're gonna have to answer to God. You gonna have to answer to God for that. Ain't that growth? Here's a whole different level. I'm not gonna get you back, and I don't even want God to get you. That's incarnate right there. That word became flesh. You understand that? I don't even want God to get you back. I pray that he'll forgive you. I pray that his love would overwhelm you. You hear that? God give me that kind of love. We have it. We just have to walk in it. Amen. What are we doing, y'all? Okay. Praise the Lord. [00:37:57] (56 seconds)  #ChooseForgiveness

Amen. If you're gonna say something negative, say, at one time I wasn't good with money. If you're gonna say that, but you need to speak those things that are not as though they are. Say, I'm getting good with money. I'm being wise with money. I'm making good money. Stop speaking negatively over your life. Because your money will continue to because your words have power and your words will speak things into reality and it speaks into your destiny. So stop saying I'm not good with money. You can get good with money. [00:03:50] (27 seconds)  #SpeakMoneyIntoBeing

For that word to become incarnate in my life, I had to put my name where love is. And I started reading that passage as if it was me that because I'm supposed to be and you're supposed to be a rep a replica or a embodiment of love. So this is when I read it like this, I said, Keith is patient and kind. I'm like, that's a lie. Keith is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Keith does not demand his own way. I'm like, that ain't even close. [00:28:28] (39 seconds)  #BeEmbodimentOfLove

and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory being the glory of the only begotten of the father. So we find out in the passage that the word that was in the beginning was Jesus. And the incarnation of Jesus is explained in John chapter one as the word, watch this, God, the word becoming flesh and becoming embodied in a human body. Now, doctrinally and theologically, I understand that to mean what it means in the theological realm that God became man. God took on a body. Right? But but but God is called the word and he took on a body. [00:26:36] (38 seconds)  #WordBecameFlesh

And even in places that don't get as much of me as other places, they they are able to grow me because watch this, money always grows where it's managed well. And and there's an old saying that says, a fool and his money assume a part. Don't be a fool. Save your money. Honor God. It doesn't mean you can't have fun, but don't put fun first. I said, don't put fun first. Like like you got you got some bills to pay [00:04:37] (30 seconds)  #MoneyGrowsWithManagement
