good morning church family and ministry
friends i'm pastor stephen brooks
welcome today to our online internet
around the world church service and i'm
so happy that you're here today because
i believe that god's word is able to
build you up to do all that he has
called you to do
and to be the person that he has called
you to be praise god
now today before we go into our main
message
i would like for us to receive the
tithes and offerings we need to honor
the lord with our finances praise god
and we're going to do that today but
let's look at a scripture
and we will be seeing this scripture i
believe manifest it in 2022
and let's take another look at proverbs
chapter 13
verse 22
a good man leaves an inheritance to his
children's children so this is part a of
the verse
then we have part b but you have to
remember they are both connected
together there is a there is a legacy
that god wants to be working here god
wants things established so that they
are perpetuated in the earth it's very
difficult for wealth
on the evil side ever to outlive three
generations but god wants there to be
godly wealth and god wants there to be
the transference of wealth into the
hands of the righteous so that it can be
utilized properly not just within one
generation but it can be layered so that
it is put to
good use
good stewardship to the point where the
great commission is accomplished and the
lord returns for his people
a good man leaves an inheritance to his
children's children but
the wealth of the sinner is stored up
for the righteous praise god well let me
say one more thing before we touch on
that concerning
an inheritance for the children's
children in other words for your
grandchildren
i would
i would be very careful with leaving
any type of inheritance that
involves money
for someone even family that is not
serving the lord jesus christ
the last thing you want to do with money
is release it into the hands of someone
who
is going to
now have that money and that is only
going to perpetuate their stronghold in
sin
or their
now empowerment to operate
more fully in the kingdom of darkness
so
we have to be very very careful with how
we use money from god's vantage point
now let's look at part b of verse 22.
the wealth of the sinner is stored up
for the righteous
we need to be careful that we don't
limit wealth strictly to the sake of
money because it can be
varied in the way that god is going to
do this wealth transfer of bringing the
provision into
the lives of his people that are
faithful to him in these areas of
finances praise god so yes it can
literally be the transferring of money
but
there's so many different forms of money
today now we have cryptocurrency and uh
while it's not
yet uh
widely used in in you know main circles
mainly because uh crypto still has such
high fluctuations
[Laughter]
you know you uh
you could wake up one morning and it's
dropped 10 or 15
or something like that
but even still you know god can cause
these types of assets to be transferred
whether it's bitcoin or things like that
and uh
god's good god can do amazing things
uh behind the scenes the cause blessing
to come to you
wealth transfer to come to you
hallelujah and there's there's many
cryptocurrencies besides uh bitcoin i
have my own take on that i think in some
ways uh cryptocurrency is uh uh
particularly with bitcoin it is a genius
idea
and uh you know the ones that push it
say well it's a limited amount of this
commodity well yeah it's a limited
amount but
uh there's only so many of them and it's
a genius idea but i'm not really sold on
uh something that's an intangible asset
out there in the uh cyber world so to
speak i i like tangible assets that god
put
value on and so we could refer also to
the transfer
of what we would call precious metals
and the reason they're precious is
because god put value uh on them in the
bible and i've heard uh you know
economists say were say well gold is
really uh well we don't really need gold
or silver and who even says those things
are valuable anyhow and they'll try to
get you over on their theolo or not
theology but their belief system and uh
well i like biblical economics praise
god and god assigned value to gold and
silver and yes there's limited amounts
of those as well but those are real uh
tangible things that will always have
value even the streets in heaven are of
solid gold praise god so there can also
be the transfer
of precious metals and gold and silver
uh palladium and platinum and on and on
it goes there could be the transfer of
stocks it's very easy to transfer stocks
over to somebody
uh from one person to another all you
need is a stock account and uh the
action this ministry before has had to
open uh ministry
uh stock counts simply for the fact that
people have wanted to donate stock to
the ministry and then when the ministry
receives those stocks we
uh
take a day or two not months we take a
day or two to catch it at the best
moment and then those stocks are sold
and then that money is put into the
ministry treasury so that we can use it
to continue to preach the gospel around
the world hallelujah but god can cause
stocks to be transferred to you
hallelujah glory to god and so there's
many different forms of wealth transfer
this can be land land is uh always
valuable as they say god only made so
much of it and uh you know it's it's
always good to have land that's not
quite as liquid as some of these other
things that we've talked about when i
when i say liquid of course i'm
referring to the ability to unload it or
sell it but even still land throughout
history has always proven to be
something really that
is just long-term wealth and also uh
there's houses
and uh you know god can do amazing
things of houses being given and things
like that but we're talking about the
wealth transfer
again but the wealth of the center is
stored up for the righteous and it's
stored stored stored it's been stored
for uh uh
thousands of years perhaps we could we
could say hundreds of years for sure but
i believe that the that the reaping that
we're going to see and the transfer that
we're going to see we're going to even
see harvest reaped in areas that were
sown
a hundred years ago or several hundred
years ago
and those precious saints never saw the
harvest and
we see things like that mentioned in the
book of james i won't get into it when
it talks about the end time harvest and
the cries
that are coming up of those that were
financially done wrong and there is
going to be a
um well that inversion of the financial
system that charles capps prophesied and
also the lord told me that the year 2022
is the year where we begin to see the
wealth transfer and i believe that you
can see it in your life if you release
your faith and you trust the lord and
say lord i'm ready for this
and i have to admit it's not like we've
seen a lot of this anywhere in the body
of christ but there's always the
breakout the breakthrough moment and i
believe we're going to see it uh see it
begin to roll in a beautiful measure in
2022 and just like noah uh noah was
telling people hey it's going to rain
you need to repent get your life right
with god and people said rain what is
that it's never rained before well it
how many of you know it rained
hallelujah
and more than it ever
so
uh
we're gonna see the fulfillment of these
uh many prophecies by the godly saints
that have foretold of the
uh wealth transfer and we're also going
to see the fulfillment of the scriptures
that declare it hallelujah and we're
going to begin to see it in 2022 praise
the lord glory to god glory to jesus and
uh there can be transfer of vehicles all
types of things
hallelujah let's go to uh the book of
job very quickly job chapter
27
verse 13
this is the portion of a wicked man with
god and the inheritage
of oppressors received from the almighty
okay let's see what the oppressor and
what the wicked man has to look forward
to verse 16
though he heaps up silver
like dust
and piles up clothing like clay
he may pile it up but the just will wear
it and the innocent will divide the
silver whoa praise the lord
hallelujah
glory to god
silver is a good thing still the number
one conductor of electricity in the
earth today
and i know some people got all excited a
few years back saying oh graphene
graphene's the latest thing graphene
will replace silver no no it will never
replace silver
and
all cars need silver
every electrical panel or excuse me
solar panel needs silver
so uh hey silver is still a good thing
and will always be
a
good thing because god placed value upon
it hallelujah amen so here we see wealth
transfer
he may pile it up
clothing but the just will wear it and
the innocent will divide the silver so
the wicked man's silver ends up in the
hands of the innocent praise god say
lord i stand on the front line in faith
ready to receive the wealth transfer of
the wicked to the righteous for the sake
of the preaching of the
gospel praise the lord and i love i love
genesis chapter 31
verse 9. wow
what you're about to read is a statement
that jacob is making to rachel and leah
concerning
uh jacob's treatment by laban and listen
to verse 9
so god
has taken away the livestock of your
father and given them to me
cheating
lying
swindling laban
look what jacob said god has taken away
the livestock of your father laban and
given them to me
what's that wealth
transfer the last thing laban ever ever
wanted to see happen it happened
and god did it pastor stephen look what
the devil did no no no no no no the
devil didn't do that and jacob knew it
god did it and guess who else knew it
laban knew it couldn't do anything about
it could not do anything about it whoa
praise god but as you operate in the
wisdom of god and very importantly as
you operate in obedience to the lord's
instructions which is what he gave the
jacob that caused the wealth transfer to
happen in his life so will it also
happen in your life
get ready to step into it amen
god has taken away the livestock of your
father and given them to me god took it
from a wicked man and gave it to a
righteous man
we have these things all through the
bible it may not say well transfer but
that's exactly what that is and so many
other cases that are in the word of god
and drop down to verse 16.
this is what uh rachel and leah had to
say about it for all these riches
riches
which god has taken from our father are
really ours and our children's now then
whatever god has said to you do it
they're like jacob you're exactly right
so whatever god said to you just go
ahead and do it because we're all aboard
and you know that's like a miracle get
those two ladies to agree on something
together because they're in contention
you know the same husband
you could only imagine the tension that
that caused and the uh the friction that
was in that but yet they're on this they
are both in agreement and they said for
all these riches which god has taken
from our father god took them by force
and moved them over into the hands of
jacob
oh pastor stephen
the devil did that no no no no no no god
did it god did it god god is very well
acquainted with taking wealth from
wicked people
and sending it over where it's supposed
to be in the hands of the righteous
[Music]
that's in your bible my friends praise
god hallelujah
thank you lord jesus
all right so i want to read a little
section one more time uh this is only
about five sentences
from the the amazing
prophecy that charles capps had back in
1978 here's just a little segment of it
i want to read it again
yes there's coming a financial inversion
in the world's system now remember an
inversion means to turn upside down and
to reverse so he said there's coming a
financial inversion in the world's
system
it's been held in reservoirs of wicked
men for days on end
but the end is nigh those reservoirs
shall be tapped and shall be drained
into the gospel of jesus christ it shall
be done saith the lord it shall be done
in the time allotted and so shall it be
that the word of the lord shall come to
pass that the wealth of the sinner is
laid up for the just and the lord spoke
to me that the time allotted begins in
2022.
glory to god
hallelujah my friends the year is almost
up i would i would ask you to
prayerfully consider sowing into this
prophetic revelation
understanding the magnitude of what this
can do and the shaking that this is
going to begin to create
hallelujah and i see you prophetically
being on the receiving end position
yourself for that with faith and in
obedience to do anything that god would
instruct you to do
praise god now let us continue to
operate biblical principles to to a very
strict precise
uh
level of obedience let's honor the lord
with the tithe the tithe belongs to the
lord we will not touch it it's holy it
goes to the lord we're going to bring it
into the storehouse and those of you
that would like to sow seed particularly
as we are at the very end of the year if
you would like to sow something special

finances and if you would like to do
something you feel like to do something

verse 16.
now all the work
not some of the work
all of the work of solomon who was
solomon
he was he was a man that had such
incredible wisdom
that people came from all over
the world from distant and remote places
just to sit and listen and hear this guy
talk
and he had vast knowledge this was the
days before britannica encyclopedia so
it's not like he's going back in his
palace and reading world book
encyclopedia oh let me see what else i
can go out there and press them with no
he doesn't have something like that he
has the wisdom of god flowing into him
in a level that is literally stunning
and so he can talk about animals he can
talk about plants he can talk about the
hyssop growing out of the wall he can
talk about protocol and structure and
order and building and architecture
anything
he's he is tied into the limitless
wisdom of god and it's flowing through
him so all the work of solomon was well
ordered
well ordered not just ordered
well
ordered it was ordered so well that you
stand back and say whoa
this is a well-oiled machine
wow
boy these guys have got it going on
there was there was executive level
planning and administration being
carried out
under the order of solomon and i'll tell
you what it stood out if you have
leadership
that
are tied into the wisdom of god and they
are executing that with precision and
well order i tell you what everything
goes really really well
there is a um there's a restaurant in
town we have many restaurants so
you know i won't say too much about
which one it is but um every time i've
tried it i've been i've been very
disappointed now if i go out of the
county and maybe i'm traveling i'm in
another state and i see this restaurant
and i go there it's usually everything
that you would expect be it tastes
really really good and it's always an
enjoyable experience but every time
without fail just about i'd say 90 of
the times that i've ever gone through
the drive-through uh and gotten my food
there's always been something wrong with
it and the only reason i would even go
back is because i had maybe one or two
times where it was really really good
but the uh the other maybe uh 18 times
uh had been a total flop uh fry's half
cooked i mean you shake them they're
just like a noodle almost or something
like that or or the chicken literally
not cooked all the way through and you
take the chicken back in and you show it
and the chicken's literally raw on the
inside
or the chicken's been sitting under a
heat lamp too long and now it tastes
like rubber and uh now see i can go to
another chicken restaurant uh
chick-fil-a uh in town and it's perfect
every single time but it's like bullet
proof but if i go to this other place
oh wow it's just like what's going on
i'll tell you exactly exactly exactly
what's going on at the places not
getting it right it's not the employees
it's the management it's horrible
management that does not know how to
execute and because of that there's no
order and i could just pull up to the
drive-through and look in there i can
tell there's no order going on in there
why is there no order because the person
who's supposed to be managing is not
managing they're not they're not
training properly they they're not
teaching customer service they're
they're they're missing it on all kinds
of cylinders and you know
i don't think it's a threat to the
franchise but i think it's a threat to
that particular uh business uh
to
uh to stay in business particularly when
you've got others that are knocking the
ball out of the park praise the lord
like i said the chick-fil-a uh perfect
every single time but this one
oh they need solomon to drop by and get
their house in order
now let me say this
just as
the work of solomon and the foundation
of the house and the construction of the
beautiful edifice was carried out well
ordered so my friends in order for you
to get done
everything that god wants you to get
done in 2022
you are going to have to have a high
level of order
in order to execute properly
thank you jesus this is very very
important
because
clutter
and uh
disorder uh it creates
uh a drag it slows everything down and i
have to be honest with you things are
not going to slow down at all in the
earth
anywhere on this planet because things
are going faster and faster and faster
as we're heading towards the end of
perhaps we could call it this
dispensation uh we are heading towards
the end and everything is speeding up
and everybody realizes that not just
young people i know i know when you're
young
you think everything goes real slow and
high school feels like it's forever but
then you get older you look like like
wow high school was like like a blur and
then uh
then life just starts rolling so fast as
you get older but even now young people
are like whoa man everything's moving
quick yeah if you think it's moving
quick uh or take it from the vantage
point of somebody in their 40s or 50s or
70s or 80s it's like like we're at light
speed so my friends you're going to have
to have things in order or it's going to
get real goofy and uh the out of order
stuff would be amplified because the
pace is picking up so you're going to
really really uh be careful with that
praise god so you're gonna need solomon
style order to con to complete your
divine assignments for this year praise
god
well if you just for a brief moment
you know you think about what is your
life
what is a lifetime pastor stephen it's a
long span
well yeah in some ways but really your
life time is made up of years and those
years each year is made up of 12 months
and as we break it down 12 months you
know 365 days and seven days in a week
and uh and then one day in the week that
you just live it one day at a time so
really if you could if you can achieve
order for one day
and then do another day then things are
going to start moving in the right
direction
like the restaurant you'll start getting
the food out while it's hot not when
it's turned in the rubber
you'll get it out order order order and
you start getting your life in order one
day at a time that turns into a month
that turns into a year then it turns
into a decade next thing you know you've
had a well-ordered life and you
accomplished what you were supposed to
do now all the work of solomon was well
ordered from the day of the foundation
of the house of the lord until it was
finished so the house of the lord was
completed and in the same way
so will
your destiny be completed at the end of
your life when it's all said and done
because you were ordered and let's talk
just a little bit about
what it is to have a well-ordered life
praise god first of all what is order
order is simply the proper arrangement
of things
this goes here
this goes there this does not go over
there and this cannot be put over here
everything in its place whoo
and that order uh it's creating
something that's why you want order what
is it creating pastor stephen an
atmosphere of peace
and without order oh man
uh that piece could begin to evaporate
really really quick so we want to have
that order in our lives here's somebody
that uh exemplified it at a very high
level and that would be joseph and let's
go to genesis chapter 39. let's drop on
down to verse 21.
i see you rising up with a
high level of order a very very uh
beautiful graceful level of order in
your life
verse 21
joseph of course is now in prison but
the lord was with joseph
and showed him mercy and gave him favor
in the sight of the keeper of the prison
and the keeper of the prison committed
to joseph's hand
all the prisoners
who were in the prison well how many
were in the prison
i don't know 200
800
i don't know
4 000 i don't know but it was a i'm sure
it was a pretty big prison
and the keeper of the prison committed
to joseph's hand all the prisoners who
were in the prison
whatever they did there it was his doing
the keeper
of the prison
did not look into anything that was
under joseph's authority
because the lord was with him and
whatever he did the lord made it prosper
now
order begins with your life if your life
is out of order
then you're not going to have this
ability to go in to other people's lives
or to go over here and over there uh
even if you're in these other places and
that's where god wants you to be you're
not going to be able to have the order
uh
impact that you want to make if your own
life is not in order
praise the lord so we start with
ourselves and if your life is in order
and you know what order is then you can
go anywhere watch this anywhere any
place
any country and wherever god drops you
off at what are you going to start to do
you're going to start to remove the
chaos you're going to start to remove
the you know anything goes and you're
going to start to put number one things
in
order and that's what joseph began to do
and guess
guess who he's doing it with
prisoners now remember what are
primarily
prisoners they're for because they broke
laws now sure you're gonna have a few
maybe we could call it false
imprisonment and uh they got put in and
got framed or whatever the case lied or
but nevertheless they're there but most
of the people are there because
they broke
laws
in other words they broke
uh you know the law is supposed to uh
hold uh us accountable so that we have a
peaceful and orderly society so when
you're breaking laws you are doing what
you're disrupting someone's order peace
and order
so you have basically a whole bunch of
people a whole bunch of guys here
that
in a sense their lives are represented
by not being able to keep order
and sometimes you know that was
something that was maybe
uh
they were set in positions perhaps when
they were young
where they were
they were not raised right and i've i've
read results
that have been uh tests that have been
taken surveys you could say with
juvenile delinquents young people that
got into trouble and were in
juvenile detention which is basically
like pre-jail okay so it's not the
adults go to jail or prison but if
you're under a certain age and you go
into these juvenile detentions and um
but you know still if you go to juvenile
detention still got the barbed wire
still can't go out you're still shut
down it's just like a jail for young
people so
they have surveyed them and asked them
questions um
you know what's what's one of the main
reasons that you believe that you've
ended up here and they
across the board almost all of them say
is the reason i'm here is that when i
was young
uh you know younger and so forth because
they're still young but when i was
younger my parents never disciplined me
and if they would try i would throw a
big fit
and say like well you don't love me and
then they would back off and then there
was there was um
there was never any form of discipline
see the thing with discipline the reason
you discipline is because you love them
number one
discipline is never pleasant but it's
short-term pain so that you eliminate
long-term suffering you see what i'm
saying so the discipline only may last
for uh two or three days or maybe you're
grounded for two weeks but you do that
discipline because you love them so that
they don't grow up with no discipline
and no order and now they have developed
an attitude nobody's going to tell me
what to do
nobody marched to my own beat nobody
tells me what to do well if you're going
to do that and you're you know you're
you're totally out of order then you're
going to eventually end up breaking laws
and you're going to end up in jail and
so that's why the majority of them are
there and you know what they all they
all knew all the juveniles that are
maybe they're 17 or 16 now
looking back when they're eight or nine
and their parents never disciplined them
or brought the necessary correction
all of the juveniles said we realize
that
the fact that our parents did not
discipline us
or did not correct us or check us on the
things we were doing spoke the uns it
was they never it's not spoken words but
it said the same thing it basically said
they did not love us
they did not care enough to correct us
and they let us run wild and never
disciplined us and so they basically did
not love us
hmm
that's basically what that means painful
lesson now who does joseph have to work
with to implement everything that his
father has poured into him and he has he
has these great skill sets and he has
this knowledge and he understands order
so what's the proving ground the testing
ground orderless people
people that have had no order let me
tell you this everybody likes order even
prisoners
they may initially uh object to it no no
no we do things our own way here then
joseph's like no no we do it this way
and if you want to eat you better get
with the program
he established order and everything
began to run smooth
smooth and even outlaw rebels like it
when things run smooth when the food
shows up on time and the bread has a
piece of butter next to it whoo praise
god order hoarder hallelujah
thank you jesus you're going to need
this
in the year that we're going into
because things are going to be moving
very very quickly
and you have to be aware of the
necessity for
order praise god now
let's go over and look at the apostle
paul in first corinthians chapter 11
first corinthians chapter 11 let me grab
a drink of water
and let's go down to verse 34.
well we can start in verse 33 this is
paul
covering different subjects he's talking
about
the proper conduct when at the lord's
table and maybe you can even
say that some of the things he's
covering would be what we would call
spiritual protocol the way to behave and
what you're supposed to do and the order
and so forth okay verse 33
therefore my brethren when you come
together to eat wait for one one another
but if anyone is hungry let him eat at
home lest you come together for judgment
and the rest in other words he has other
things that he wants to teach as well
and structure that he wants to implement
and the rest i will set in order when i
come i will set in order so what is he
doing he's setting order in the church
paul said that all things be done
decently and in order well some people
would say now that's bondage we just
need to be free no careful we need we we
want to do all things but we want to do
them decently and in order we're not
trying to limit anybody's fun
but remember it's all fun until somebody
gets hurt right so let's have some order
i was in a meeting one time
and um
uh i went to i went to visit a friend
was hosting a meeting and so i said okay
i'll drop by and uh
well
uh everybody there was really big in the
flags and so during the praise and
worship everybody was encouraged bring
your own flag and so it was it was like
flak city maybe 200 people waving flags
real wild in a really condensed area and
you have full grown adults and you have
little bitty kids and everybody is all
you know the music is real pumped up you
know like high praise you would say and
everybody's swinging flags and there was
uh one big guy uh i mean
maybe maybe six foot seven uh probably
probably about 280 pounds he was a big
old fella and he had a flag and the flag
you know was real long and he was
swinging that thing like a barbarian i
mean he was he was going wild and the
flag at the end had a poker i mean it
looked like a lance like a big long
poker at the end and he's swinging that
thing there's little kids
and there's you know ladies are spinning
around and flags going everywhere
i mean you we're talking somebody can
lose an eye just like that now now that
happens suddenly suddenly uh oh
oh now we have a problem okay so i'm
just saying
it's good to have some order let's get
the kids over here okay
let's get the the adults over here
uh let's take uh anybody has a flag
that's got something sharp and pokey on
the end uh hint hint you over there
let's take that off so we don't gouge
somebody in the eye
or ram somebody in the stomach
uh or something silly happen
i was at a martial arts competition you
know years back when i used to do
martial arts and you know go travel
around go all these tournaments and
stuff like that and
you know whenever you got into like
forms or you know
kata or things along that line uh i'm
not talking about like the the sparring
or the fighting but when you got into
forms and uh and weapon demonstrations
in the weapons when it came to swords
you would never
use a real sword uh now if it's like
another type of a weapon like a psy or
nunchuck or something like that they'd
be more flexible and let you go with the
real stuff but my goodness with a sword
well you've got a whole panel of judges
up there and then you've got spectators
and so i was at a tournament one time
and uh i was sitting down watching uh
the weapons demonstrations
and one guy gets up there
he was maybe like 25 years old and uh uh
well he was intense i mean he was like
wired like like he looked like he had
drank eight red bulls or something like
that and he was standing there at the
sword and you know the the master
instructor sitting on the panel that's
judging he said but you may begin and
this guy begins and he's going wild with
that sword swinging it with
hyped up energy and stuff like that and
one of the judges stood up said stop
and he walked out to the center of the
map where the guy was at he said let me
see your sword
and he holds it looks like he's a real
sword
i mean this is a real thing this is a
thing you could cut
you could cut through bone with like uh
with just minimal effort this thing was
razor sharp and the judge said oh no no
you're not you're not allowed to use
real weaponry with swords and uh you
know you gotta go get a gotta get a
dummy sword or something like you kill
somebody out here because i've seen them
fly out of people's hands before when
they're you know you know i mean i've
seen professional baseball players not
intentionally when they're swinging so
hard with all that power it sometimes
poop there goes the bat
now imagine a sword flying towards
people
whoa lord have mercy so that you know
the guy was the guy that was the young
guy that actually had the sword he
started crying because he all he wanted
to do was please you know the
instructors and stuff like that well
they got him a dummy sword
and he was able to pick back up his gig
and carry on his show
all it takes is a little mistake and
usually
in weaponry there's there's always a
mistake it's very
rare when somebody goes to their whole
routine and doesn't do something uh
where they drop it or you know can't
control it but you're spinning real
swords like that whoo pray praise the
lord what do we need we need order we we
need to have some order because you'll
always have a few that if you don't have
boundaries or have order or they'll take
it right up to the edge every single
time and you'll think oh no no nobody
would do that or yes they will it's
human nature or something there's always
one there'll always be one that when
paul's preaching all night long there
will always be one that will go over
there and sit in the open window oh oh
no pastor stephen we'll three we're
three stories off the ground nobody
would be dumb enough to do that because
if you fell backwards you could kill
yourself oh no no there's always at
least one
so what should we do
well
well i don't i don't you know i don't
really know but uh i understand paul's
preaching all night long he's not
stopping people are getting drowsy uh we
need to have have the window open so we
can get fresh air in here but we need to
have a rule somebody put a sign or a
piece of duct tape over that now i know
duct tape had not been invented yet but
put a piece of duct tape over it and
write on it do not sit here
you ever see that on screens that are on
the windows the screen has a label on it
it says this screen will not support
your weight do not lean on the screen
why would they put that on there because
somebody leaned on it and fell out of
the window they thought the screen would
hold them back and obviously it didn't
[Laughter]
praise god so we have to have order it
is good so paul said
the rest i will set in order when i come
so that that's an apostolic uh trait you
an apost an apostle knows what to do
knows what to do okay we have to have it
this way you need this we have to do
this let's switch this over here do that
good let's get it all in order i've done
all i could when i come back next time
we'll do some more why set it in order
set it in order praise god thank you
jesus build it right and it will take
off and it will go well
now let me say this about order
order really is the only way to stay
ahead of the curve when things begin to
accelerate
praise god
um
i was listening to a really good pastor
uh talk one time
uh has a very large church and very
successful ministry
and this is what he
he said
he said on sunday when he preaches his
sermon
and everybody's blessed and it's what
you would call a very good sunday
everything has gone great and the holy
spirit has moved and the word was
received and people responded and uh it
was just a great service he said he said
the very first thing he does
on
monday is he begins to get the next
message
why well you wouldn't believe from a
minister's perspective
how fast that goes when you're when
you're having to put out multiple
messages
every single week
every single week oh oh i've got three
days before i need to work on that you
you wouldn't believe how fast when
you've got to do it over every week over
over over i mean it just seems like you
turn around oh i got to go i got to get
another one well he said on monday
that's when i start not the night before
not the day before monday and so he was
sharing that
he puts the word preeminent in his life
not just in the area of obedience of
obeying the scripture but for him as a
preacher yeah that's that's the first
thing monday get on it already start
tracking what does the lord want me to
share in the next message and
um
there are some
quite a few ministers that uh that just
try to wing it
you have to understand that certain the
surveys that are given to ministers and
those surveys come back
to reputable agencies show that the
average prayer life of the american
preacher the american pastor or you know
whatever whatever that minister is in
full-time five-fold ministry the average
prayer life of the american minister is
only eight minutes a day
and if you're sitting under a pastor
like that
what does that mean for you
when you're getting fed
something like that so only eight
minutes of prayer time you're like well
what in the world are they doing they're
doing all kinds of stuff except what the
early church apostles did where they
said peter stood up and said we
cannot be over here serving tables you
know
shucking corn and snapping peas and
serving beans on people's plate we must
give ourselves to prayer and to the
ministry of the word and when you do
that oh
you you'll blow past eight minutes by
the time this you know well before the
sun's even up but in today's uh
westernized church you have pastors and
ministers uh
remember that that is an accurate survey
the average prayer life of the average
minister in america is only eight
minutes a day
and you know and then without prayer now
you're gonna have a uh some kind of a
sermon that
who knows where they got it from um but
you stand up and you deliver something
that has no life in it whoa lord have
mercy amen what's going on they're
running behind the curve
way behind the curve
and you always want to stay ahead of the
curve no matter
what your career field is never wait to
the last minute to try to cook it up or
pull it together or prepare it or
something like that stay ahead of the
curve this is something that we all have
to
really
give focus and give attention to praise
the lord you know i was on a
a television network i was there at the
studio doing a live
studio uh interview a couple of months
ago
and uh there were some guest ministers
there
and they watched the network uh
regularly the uh
you know it airs locally and around the
states and so forth
and they said um
well they said oh brother stephen we
really enjoy your program pure gold
and uh uh the husband and wife are just
you know thanking me for my ministry and
and i swear i'm glad i'm glad it's a
blessing to you
and you enjoy the message
and the wife said um pastor stephen
she said i don't see how you do it
though
you're on tv every single week uh every
week of the year and you're you're doing
these other things and you're you're
writing books and you have an internet
ministry and you then you go out and
preach and then you you do this you do
this and you're you're doing that she
said
she said especially with tv because
you know the week just goes by you gotta
have another message and she's like how
in the world
do you just keep doing these things
and i said well you know
a lot of it is the grace of god
it is god's grace
that gives me the strength the ability
and you know the anointing to do these
types of things well my friends let's
not kid ourselves um
you can't you can't
run
something that's real busy without order
everything is ordered everything is
structured
this program goes to that network that
network wants the program in this format
it must meet these specs and what i send
to that network cannot go to that
network because this network requires
different specs because this was going
to that satellite and that one's going
to that satellite and this one's going
over here and you're dealing with uh
traffic controllers of different
networks and all of this it just be and
and the more networks you get on and
then it just starts like
if you don't have order and you don't
stay ahead of that curve it'll eat your
lunch
[Laughter]
it will overwhelm you and that's why
some
ministers
get
under pressure and then they get
they get high anxiety and they get
stress
but
the stress is not because of the
responsibility the stress is not because
of the yoke jesus said my yoke is easy
my burden is light the stress is being
uh
cooked up like a pressure cooker why
they are they're running behind the
curve
let me say this from a from a sports
um perspective
whenever you see let's take the nfl for
example
whenever you see a team win the super
bowl you have to realize
to do that that team is functioning at
the very
very highest level
that can be
reached and it is amazing to see pro
athletes particularly in a championship
series you're seeing the very best of
the best
but it takes so much focus to get there
and to win it all
that it's it uh it's very hard to keep
that going why it takes a crazy level of
self-discipline
and you'll notice this
anytime a team wins the super bowl or
they win the world series or they win
the nba championships or whatever
if you see those team members the next
thing you know now they're famous now
they're doing commercials all over the
place and everybody wants that person oh
get him to do our commercials everybody
loves him he's a he's a famous athlete
the moment they start doing that they
almost never repeat the championship
why
you're losing your focus you're getting
pulled in all kinds of different
directions and usually when that happens
you can still be good but usually not
good enough to win it again
wow so
that's why it is so challenging to stay
at the top because to stay at the top
you have to stay ahead of the curve and
to stay ahead of the curve you have to
be well ordered and to be well ordered
you have to have a disciplined life
but if you have that you can go into a
prison and you can put it in order and
suddenly everything's going smooth so
smooth that the head guy over the whole
jail just put joseph in charge of
everything didn't worry about nothing
joseph ran the whole
thing that's
that's why
colleges
and pro level sports
will have
committees
athletic departments or
multi-billionaires and pro sports that
will pay almost any amount of money to
get the right coach
why
if
if you get the right coach they go in
there with the right set of order they
can turn a mediocre team into a
championship caliber team
even if they can't win the championship
they can turn them into a team that's so
good they'll frustrate maybe even defeat
many of the best teams maybe didn't make
it to the final but they you everybody
knows they're serious threat they're not
the way they used to be they've got
their they've got their house in order
glory to god
glory to god and if you keep pushing
that order long enough uh you'll you'll
hit that spark and you'll take off and
when you take off that's when you got to
be really uh
dialed in because now you're moving
now you're moving
oh pastor steven just go take a vacation
go take some time off i can't just go
take a vacation
nothing runs on its own you have to over
see things now i can plan
and orderly set up a vacation but i just
can't i just can't walk off
you know that's the thing when you have
your own business or you're running a
ministry or something like that that if
you're just an employee you might not be
able to understand that because now you
have more responsibility but also you
have a lot more
uh potentials for uh different avenues
of blessing and reward and so forth so
you know for those that have stepped
into it you find out oh yes this is a
good thing praise god so you may not be
able to just oh you know uh just go sit
down and go take a two hour break
because you might not be able to do that
remember there's there's a primary
difference between rich people and poor
people and it's pretty much runs across
the board and here's
one of the key biggest differences
people that are poor do not value their
time
oh
pastor stephen
let's go sit down over here and shoot
the breeze tell me what you've been
doing for the last 10 years
look i don't have time to explain what
i've been doing for the last 10 years
that's going to take it all day to talk
about that and i i've got i've got all
this stuff to do oh now pastor stephen
you need a break come over here and sit
down for a few hours and just just talk
and relax well that that that's nice
there are some times to chill out but i
don't i just don't uh i can't be gone
for a whole day um i i can't do that
praise the lord and
rich people value their time and they'll
they'll check their watch why because
they're running on that you you have to
have order like you have something to do
you have something to do and you you got
to get it you got to get to it praise
the lord so you have to
you have to understand that it's very
important that you value your time and
other people's time if you ever show up
late
to something important where you're
expected to be at showing up late
tells them not verbally but tells them
that you do not respect their time you
may respect yours but you have no
respect for theirs
so that's why it's very bad taste to
show up you know the ministry is
expanding
and there's one department that i'm
looking to uh
develop and so forth and uh somebody
referred me to a person locally that
might be able to do the work and so i
called and said hey are you are you
skilled in this area and the person said
yes i am i said okay let's talk about
this more i can't really get into it
right now let's talk tomorrow when will
you be free tomorrow the person said
nine o'clock i said nine o'clock in the
morning they said yes
i said okay this is what we'll do you
call me at nine o'clock
and then we can talk about this
potential job position
and uh he said he said okay i'll call
you at nine o'clock okay we'll get off
the phone and then i send him a text
okay look forward to talking you to you
at nine o'clock in the morning he texts
back with a thumbs up okay
next morning are you ready for this
next morning
um
i'm i'm already there by the phone at 8
50. i'm doing things on my my laptop the
phone's sitting there 8 58 55 8 58 9
o'clock i look at my my phone nine
o'clock
and
now remember
i'm going to be talking with him about a
job
that has a good pay
it pays in a sense that
with a job that there's a lot of jobs in
the county that would pay like this
and so you know this is this is
something that if somebody uh
you know kind of is aware of that
they should move on it so nine o'clock
no call
905
no call
i look at my phone again to make sure i
understood this right okay you're gonna
call me at nine o'clock yes i'll call
you at nine o'clock uh thumbs up
9 15. no call
9 20. no call 9 23 the phone rings
uh
hello i'm yeah this is so-and-so i'm
calling you back about that job
and uh
yeah what what what let's talk about
that
now
he doesn't know but i i i know that i'm
gonna go ahead and kind of
carry out a
slight
phone interview over the phone
uh whatever but he doesn't know it's
already over before the interviews even
started
why because you've disrespected my time
if this doesn't mean
uh that much to you or you you don't you
can't even call on time no no no you
don't have a shot i'm not going to tell
him that
but no he doesn't he
doesn't have he's got like a snowball's
chance
on a hot carolina day in the summer of
surviving no he's not even in the
qualifications it doesn't matter if he
can do the job so good that it makes
angels sing
[Laughter]
this it's not going to happen
praise the lord my friends you have to
have the high
levels of order
daniel had the excellent spirit
he had an excellent spirit and he's
serving the king can you imagine daniel
coming in late you know for a thousand
years i couldn't picture i could never
picture my mind forever daniel ever
showing up late for anything
he was on time early
praise the lord
glory
glory glory to god the lord's tightening
things up
so that we can go up to the next plateau
so that we can go up there and have
peace and calm and serenity because
we're running ahead of the curve praise
god
always expect
the unexpected don't plan to get there
on time because what will happen if it's
something very important is something
will pop up a traffic delay or or you
know something you didn't anticipate now
you're running behind what do you have
now pressure stress it's no fun we want
to stay away from those types of things
glory to the lord jesus
hallelujah the holy spirit's ministering
to hearts
right now
praise the lord
glory to god when you have order in your
own life
you can step into any other environment
and if it's up area that you have been
given authority over like joseph was
given authority over to prison
you start putting things in order you
start putting things in order how do you
know what to do because you've already
already ordered your own life
hallelujah lift your hands
heavenly father

i had a very
powerful prophecy given over my life
years back
from a trusted uh woman of god true
prophetess of the lord traveled all over
the world prophesying and preaching the
gospel
and uh i stood in front of her one time
and she said she said stephen the lord
shows me
that in your life
you're supposed to write 40 books and
when she said that i
yeah i wanted to faint
40 40 books
how can i even write one oh god
how can i even write one
but i knew
the lord was speaking through her and
although it seemed something
astronomical i somehow still i could
somehow still receive it
i said well praise the lord well
eventually i got one done
and eventually got another one done but
you know i was just thinking about this
a few days ago
about how many i've written and i said
lord
i really believe i can do 40. so i've
got i've got
this

i'm still trying to write one more
paragraph because i'm on book 38

my destiny praise god now if jesus comes
back and interrupts all of this because
the end has come and we raised up in the
clouds to meet the lord in the air
hallelujah it is what it is praise god

but till then we're going to keep doing
all that we can do so that our house
just like solomon's is built and
completed
you know solomon when he built that
temple it had such
thought out plans
and building construction processes that
not one hammer in chisel and chisel were
ever heard in jerusalem it was all done
off-site and when they brought it
together it's just
slide it in the place
no hammers no chisels ugh
i don't like construction noise it's you
