n ministry friends I'm Pastor Steven
Brooks and welcome today to our online
internet church service where we can
gather together from around the world
and enjoy the rich nourishment of God's
Word Before we jump in to today's
message
let us first honor the Lord and worship
the Lord by bringing our tithes and
offerings into the storehouse of God I
have a scripture for you from Psalm 112
verse 3 it says wealth and riches will
be in his house and his righteousness
endures forever now this is talking
about the home of the person who is
blessed the person who's walking with
God now from today's perspective of the
New Covenant the person that belongs to
Jesus and a serving God with all of
their hearts it says wealth and riches
will be in his house now God wants you
to have your own house perhaps you live
in a big city and you're leasing or
renting an apartment or a townhome but
you think you know I would like Lord to
have my own house even even if I even if
it's a townhome or condo that's on the
96th floor lord I would still like to
own it well God wants to do that for you
and I know that many people live in
skyscrapers and I know that many people
also live out in the country maybe in a
more rural area but wherever you're at
you can have the blessing of Deuteronomy
chapter 28 it says you're the head and
not the tail you're blessed going in
blessed coming out and also it says
you're blessed in the city and blessed
in the country so it doesn't matter
where you live at wherever you live at
wherever you're watching me from today
God wants you to have your own house
okay praise the Lord now there's no
skyscrapers out in the country but you
can find you some nice land and a good
home and just believe God for it and God
wants you to have your own place and we
thank God for the different phases that
we go through in life with their faith
and maybe you're in a place right now
where you're you're renting or leasing
but God wants you to move into ownership
where you actually own your own home and
again that's just wonderful to see how
many wonderful people in the Bible
owned their own home what would you see
the Lord Jesus it talks about how he had
his own house you see the prophet Samuel
he had his own house you see the prophet
Elijah he had his own house and just it
just goes on and on and on and all of
those things are recorded in Scripture
on purpose so that our faith can be
strong and that we can also walk in our
inheritance that God has for us praise
God
now the Lord wants you to have your own
home and when you when you have your
house God doesn't want the blessing to
stop there he also wants you to have
your home debt-free
and you can use your faith to get into a
house and then you can use your faith to
pay the to pay the mortgage off and I'm
not talking like just a third a thirty
year or 40 year regular type mortgage
pay down I'm talking where the blessing
of God is on your life and you you're
just paying that thing off
supernaturally fast and you're getting
out of debt supernaturally quick
hallelujah that is your inheritance to
have your own home debt-free and it says
here that there would even be wealth and
riches in your house so God wants you to
have nice furniture nice appliances the
things that make you happy whether it's
nice countertops it just goes on and on
not once you blessed that way you know
you bring people over to your house you
can give glory to the Lord you can have
Bible studies in your house you could
lead people to Christ in your house the
delivery driver comes to deliver a
package or to deliver a pizza you can
just you know receive the package or
receive the pizza give them a nice tip
and share Christ with them and I tell
you it's just a real blessing to have
your own house where you can have your
own place where you go it's just
peaceful the presence of the Lord is
there that's God's plan for your life
when you bring the tithes and offerings
into the storehouse today believe God
for that if you don't have your own home
believe God for your own home make a
little notation on your giving today
right Psalm 112 verse 3 and if you
already have your own house believe the
Lord that you can get it paid off
supernaturally maybe not all at one time
all
God can do that and you can you could
even believe about to do that but you
can also believe God just to pay it down
in big chunks got just blessing you and
you're paying it down paying it down and
it's not a 30-year mortgage you're out
of that thing very very quickly praise
God and you're just blessed in every
area of your life and believe God also
that you could have nice things in your
home so that you're happy in your heart
and you could host people comfortably
and it's just another reason why you can
give glory to the Lord wealth and riches
will be in his house and his
righteousness endures forever praise the
Lord okay so as we're bringing tithes
and offerings into the storehouse of God
make that notation on your giving today
Psalm 112 verse 3 connect with that
promise of God and watch God do it in
your life as you give and as you believe
the promises of God and you take them as
your own promise God's going to do it
for you as well I look forward to
receiving your testimonies of the
wonderful homes that God is going to be
blessing his people with so make sure

whoo-hoo hallelujah glory to God God's
gonna do it in your life now today let's
talk about power plans hmm glory to God
please go with me to the book of
Deuteronomy chapter 29 and let's drop
down to verse 29 how about how about
that for the double Deuteronomy 29:29
praise God this is a beautiful verse
Heavenly Father as we go into your word
let your Holy Spirit come and quicken
the scriptures that they would be made
alive by spiritual power the power of
the Spirit thank you Father God let us
receive them as living manna in the name
of Jesus and we say Amen hallelujah
now Deuteronomy 29 verse 29 the secret
things belong to the Lord our God there
are some things that as much as we want
to know we're not going to know on this
side of heaven
I believe when when we get to heaven
there will be many things that were
perhaps we were curious about didn't
know during our earthly life many of
those things will we'll be able to find
out when we get to heaven and then
everything is fully known but please
understand this as well there are some
things however that that are intended by
God for us to never know and those
things we just have to be at peace with
it and those things are there not for us
to know the secret things belong to the
Lord our God I think it I think it was
very interesting the time but maybe a
little bit funny I don't think the
minister thought it was funny when it
happened but years back prophet Kenneth
Hagin he had an encounter with the Lord
Jesus in a vision and brother Hagin
asked the Lord a question about one of
his family members that he was related
to that he had you know whenever you
have family members you're you know they
have a part of your heart and you love
them and so forth well one of the family
members had died died young and you know
the person was saved so there was no
doubt that the person with the heaven
but Kenneth Hagin said he asked the Lord
Jesus Jesus why did that person die you
know because he wanted to know brother
Hagin wanted to know and the Lord told
him he said that's none of your business
and he actually quoted this scripture to
him from Deuteronomy 29 verse 29 and he
said that's none of your business
don't don't even think about that
because that that's that's nothing that
you need to know about that's between me
and her only well praise God
I'll I I like that about Jesus that
there are some things that if you tell
him in it's just between you and him
nobody else will ever know I really like
that about the Lord he can keep he can
keep things close to his heart and if
it's just between you and him nobody
will ever know for eternity Wow
hallelujah now it says the secret things
belong to the Lord our God but those
things which are revealed belong to us
and to our children forever that we that
we may do all
the words of this law praise God let me
present this today there is enough that
you do know and then as you go through
life and walk with the Lord that is
unveiled to you there's enough that you
have on your plate you certainly don't
need to be looking into everybody else's
business and in my occupation in my
calling as a minister as a preacher you
know I've got a lot of preacher friends
and I want to see them do well they want
to see me do well but really when it
comes down to it I've got to run my own
race I don't have time to be poking my
nose over into their business not only
that that's their business and I'm gonna
stand before the Lord one on one and
he's gonna judge me for the way I live
my life and he's going to inspect my
life according also to how I fulfilled
my calling not not somebody else that
the others will have to stand before him
so I really want to focus on the
assignment the calling that God has
given to me and be faithful with that
and that's something that you really
have to consider with your life as well
because there is a course that God has
destined for you to run and there is a
finish line and you need to do all that
you can do the to cross that finish line
and of course you certainly need to
understanding of what that path is what
that plan is so that you can stay on
course and so today let's talk about
that okay those things which are
revealed
now that's we're going to talk about
today those things that are revealed
belong to us and to our children whoo
we're talking about living right
finishing right and even even leaving
leaving a legacy have you ever thought
about leaving a legacy now I know that
the end is near that the time clock on
this dispensation is running out and
time is short but until the Lord comes
we need to stay busy
we need to continue doing all that we
can do to serve the Lord and to live for
the Lord and should the income in our
life
well praise the Lord we go home to be
with the Lord but until then we need to
be going all out praise God and this
would also should the Lord tarry this
would position us rightfully to leave a
legacy for our children even
grandchildren I don't you know when I
think about legacies for grandchildren
and stuff like that my mind can't even
really go there because I think we're so
close to the end of this and everything
being wrapped up that I'm not really
foreseeing you know like hundreds of
years out there in the future but even
if it's 30 or 40 we still need to stay
busy because we just don't know when the
Lord's coming back although we know it
soon so we need to stay busy now those
things that are revealed belong to us
and to our children forever that we may
do all the words of this law let's talk
about doing those things that are
revealed to us please turn with me to
the book of wisdom which of course would
be the book of proverbs chapter 25 a
verse that we all enjoy that would be
verse 2 it begins in verse 1 by saying
these also are proverbs proverbs are
wise sayings these are the Proverbs of
Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king
of Judah copied now verse 2 it is the
glory of God to conceal to hide to
intentionally on purpose veil a matter
but the glory of kings now that's you
and I okay the glory of kings is to
search out a matter you don't need a
crown on your head to think that you're
king you are king if you're in Christ
you are priests and kings in the Lord
Jesus whoo hallelujah now the glory of
Kings to search out a matter well you
know people would think well why don't
why would God hide something concerning
our destiny why would God hide or veil
the plan that he has for our life
sometimes he does it in a sense to
protect that plan from the enemy so the
enemy cannot see fully what what it is
he can
get a little bit of insight he could
pick up some things but some of its
hidden for safety so that the enemy
can't you know just plan everything
against it and you know like in
professional sports that this has
happened in the NFL where opposing teams
have through cheating you know and
through other means they have gotten the
playbook and so a team has a playbook
and the other team they have stolen or
cheated or done something illegal to get
that playbook what are they doing they
want to know what your plans are so that
they can plan against that well in the
spirit realm it's cheating also but the
devil he's a cheat so he'll try to you
know see what your plans are or what
God's plans are so some of that is
veiled on purpose just to keep him out
of the game plan now there's other
reasons why God hides or conceals it and
sometimes that is because of our
immaturity and God doesn't want us to
have full clarity on certain things
because the timings not right
much of that timing can even be in the
sense that we're not ready for that
phase yet and so god conceals it and you
can't quite see what it is maybe you're
picking up on it and you have a clue
maybe you're you're actually getting
pretty dialed in on it but it's it's not
right yet so god he'll still keep it
under wraps and you just can't quite
unwrap it yet why god still got it
wrapped up tight and I believe sometimes
that's for our protection because if we
got it too soon got the inheritance too
soon there's an there's an area of
development that's not there yet and God
sees that he wants us to grow more and
it could be a few more months could in
some cases be a few more years now we
see that in the life of Joseph who had
insight concerning God's plan for his
life but there was development that God
needed to do at the best place that God
decided for his development was not you
know sending to Oxford or to Yale or the
Cambridge God actually allowed him to be
sent through false charges the prison to
prison
was there in that prison experience that
he really had amazing qualities
developed in him through the Lord Jesus
it was amazing what God did in the life
of that man to develop this leadership
ability to lead and to govern a nation
underneath the you know he was second
command underneath Pharaoh but in a
sense Pharaoh was that he didn't run
everything but Pharaoh was hid as far as
it goes from the throne but as far as
getting things done and calling the
shots Faber was letting Joseph do all of
that because he had the ability he had
just the incredible ability of the
wisdom of God to do that but much of
that much of that plan initially was
under wraps because Joseph knew he was
destined for greatness but he had no
idea he was going to the prison so God
has these various routes for us to take
sometimes its veiled and that's for our
good but now here's our part the glory
of Kings is to search out a matter the
glory of Kings that's our part of our
glory part of greatness is searching out
what is that plan that God has for my
life ooh Wow
I present that a lot of Christians I'm
not talking about the unbelievers I I'm
talking to the Christians for a moment a
lot of Christians think that they're
waiting on God and there there can be an
element where God's you know doing his
part behind the scenes making sure
everything was right and doing the
things that a loving father would do to
get it all prepped and ready for you to
step onto that stage of life but but in
many ways and the majority of the time
it's actually God is waiting on us to
come into that place of maturity in
Christ where he sees the image of his
son in us and he says now that image is
developed it's fully formed and now I'm
ready to bring them into the place that
have already pre-planned for them but
there's a lot of things
Christiane's where they want to they
just want to put the whole thing on God
say they'll say you know God's obviously
not ready yet because if he were I you
you know I'm ready well many times God's
already ready but he's trying to get us
to that place that place of being where
we're ready now I think it takes
humility to realize that maybe there are
some areas that God still needs to
refine before maybe he gives the full
green light or brings us out of the
prison type experience like he did with
Joseph because when Joseph was ready
you know God did things to bring him out
immediately and so I think if we do our
part we already know God's going to do
his part so let's just do our part and
let's search out the matter that's our
responsibility God will do his part but
let's search it out I've always found
that fascinating what what dr. Peter J
Daniels discovered now he is a Christian
businessman he's a billionaire if I'm
incorrect he's a multi-billionaire and
has been considered for decades as one
of the world's greatest speakers now
he's not a preacher he doesn't have that
anointing as a preacher but he has an
anointing to speak to businessmen and
businesspeople
and so you know when they bring him into
these conferences and everything he has
an anointing to speak to them in that
way so don't expect you know like
preaching and shouting and stuff like
that that's not his anointing but he's a
very good teacher but as he demonstrates
in live meetings not just in churches
because you know over the last 15 years
he began to speak more in churches but
even in secular arenas now I would
expect this in the secular where he's
going to work with people who don't know
God but when he brings the same teaching
into the church and live in church live
demonstrates it and and the church is in
the same boat so many times is the world
it's an amazing thing to see so what is
he demonstrating dr. Daniel Daniels
would demonstrate that many Christians
Georgiy actually the sunny would talk
about the unsaved but in the church many
Christians really when it comes down to
it they don't have a plan they may say
they do they may say that they have
they've unveiled the matter
that's not concealed they know God's
plan for their life but when he brings
them live up on stage and begins to ask
certain questions odd it's wild
almost all of them all the time without
exception that they have no clue what
God really has planned for them and I
don't know maybe it's actually a little
bit embarrassing for the people that he
brings up but he you know he's looking
for volunteers and this is not paid this
is live and when it happens and in a
sense people are laid bare and they're
exposed really as not as having no clue
of how to get where they want to go and
not even sure really what he's done with
them before they even want to go it's
it's quite it's quite unveiling so today
let's make sure that we do our part what
is our part our part is to search out to
search out the plan and wheel that God
has for our lives oh this is fascinating
this is fascinating let's just talk
about a few examples of things that we
can do the first woman would be Habakkuk
chapter 2 and let's go right into it
verse 2 then the Lord answered me and
said write the vision and make it plain
on tablets that he may run who reads it
right right there you probably have lost
95% of most Christians because they
think they have a vision well yes pastor
Streetman I do well have you written it
down
well no wolf what if you really had a
vision you're probably going to want to
write it down and if you haven't written
it down I would present to you that you
haven't even gotten on first base yet
because here we see that God says God
says write the vision well I just like
to keep it up here well that that's nice
but you'll actually keep it up
here better if you write it out first
and it's all in order and that you can
see it and that you can read it and that
anybody else that would like to support
you and your vision they can read it
also now we're not talking about writing
something out that's a 42 page manual
we're just talking about something short
concise bullet point type hitters that
you can go write down it saying this is
what God has unveiled to me as his plan
for my life this is what I'm going to
accomplish by the grace of God and here
it is boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
wow that's pretty cool here's the thing
here's the thing for some people if a
rich multi billionaire like dr. Peter J
Jay Daniels came up to you and said if
you can verify the plan that God has for
your life and you can verify that to me
I'll fund it right now most most people
they couldn't present it because the
first thing that most people do that
want to get behind plans and have money
it's because this is the way they think
the first thing they want to see is they
want to see it on paper and if you say
well I haven't haven't even written it
out but you know what they're gonna
think they're gonna think we're
obviously not you're not very serious
about your vision and and if God says
write it out I mean he's the ultimate
financier because God is the one that's
gonna sign off on this thing and God
wants to see it he wants to see what he
has unveiled to you he wants to see it
written on paper not folded up somewhere
shoved into a drawer he wants to see it
on paper and you need to see it on paper
mmm and so many times donors backers
supporters if they're really going to
come in strong what do they want to see
they somehow want to see it written out
in a way now you know they don't need a
hundred pages but they want to see
something that says okay I like that I
can read that my mind can follow that I
can understand that let me get behind
that support that prays God glory to the
Lord do you have that hmm praise God
these are things
we need to do knowing that God will do
his part but so many times God actually
is waiting on us we need to do our part
right the vision and make it plain on
tablets that he may run who reads it for
the vision is yet for an appointed time
but at the end it will speak and it will
not lie though it tarries wait for it
because it will surely come it will not
tarry I would encourage you to sit down
with the Lord when you have some free
time
turn off Gunsmoke turn off you know
whatever you you know might want to
watch turn off you know the TV and sit
down and just say Lord um I've got a
little free time I've got an hour two
hours in don't rush the Lord if you
don't get the full thing don't try to
cram it in but just say Lord I'm really
looking to you for revelation concerning
your plan for my life and I know that
some things you veil on purpose you
conceal them but I'm here Lord because I
want you to I want you to give me
insight into this beautiful plan that
you have for my life I want to finish
the race that you have for me and Lord I
sense that you've got some things that
are special I'd like I'd like to talk
with you about that let you know that
you know I want to make sure I'm picking
up on the right thing and then what you
want to do is you want to write it out
and what will begin to happen is you
begin to get what I would call the frame
the skeletal frame but as you spend time
with the Lord he'll begin by the Holy
Spirit to help you put meat on the bones
the sinew the tendons the ligaments the
muscles the thing the thing the vision
will begin to get fleshed out and then
you'll begin to see it with more clarity
and not only see the plan but you'll
begin to see the path you'll begin to
see the timing you'll begin to see the
blessing that God has for you praise the
Lord right now on my desk I actually
have a plan from the Lord that I've
prayed over and have prayed in - it's
the current plan that I'm working on for
the for the vision of the ministry right
now and that is a what that is a 1.4
million dollar plan that's what we're
doing
now we're working on the current phase
or where God has us right now certain
things that we need to step into certain
things that we're doing is we're we're
gonna do all we can to reach the world
with the gospel and we're really we're
willing to lay it on the line so that's
what we're working on these everything
we do here has one underlying premise
and you know what it is the salvation of
lost souls every vision every plan
everything that we do has that as the
key purpose we want to see people 1 for
Christ and number 2 we want to build up
the church because after you get saved
then you're gonna have to get the word
into the people you're gonna have to
after you pull the fish into the boat
and you've emptied the nets now you've
got to clean the fish okay so that's our
focus number one get the lost saved
number two get the Word of God into them
so they can have victory and the enemy
can't throw their purpose
praise God so that's all we do so I have
a plan on my desk it is the current plan
that we're working on it is a one point
four million dollar plan but after
that's accomplished I've already got
another plan I already have another plan
that plan is that plans waiting on me
but I've got it I've got it already
planned out that's a five million dollar
plan but even after that I have a phase
three plan that I'm waiting for it
what's which one is that Pastor Steven
that's that's a twenty six million
dollar plan see here's the thing some of
you have no plans so you don't even know
where you're going you have no plan for
life you're just kind of bumbling
stumbling through life and a little bit
of that you know well whatever happens
happens but my friends when you have a
plan something begins to happen in your
life where the energy of God the power
of God is released into your life
because when you have a plan now you
have a purpose and you wake up in the
morning and you think I've got something
to do I'm not only this I'm not on this
planet just to suck oxygen I'm not on
this planet just to consume food and
then sleep at night work during the day
do this for eight of years and you just
die no you have a
person when you have that purpose when
that when that thing that God has for
you is unveiled and you see it well now
it just begins to enthuse you with
divine energy and you wake up in the
morning and you don't just stumble out a
bit thank you all another day no you you
get out of bed thinking I have an
assignment today I'm gonna stay on that
plan that current plan that I'm on
hallelujah because see here's the thing
you don't know that God could just look
down and sad tell you what that plans so
good the first plan so good I like them
let's just God just send a blessing to
you and you just you're able just to
knock them all out all at one time
because God is a big God hallelujah
thank you Lord Jesus we're all at
different levels of faith we're all at
different realms of our walk with God so
that's where I'm at right now I'm on the
1.4 million dollar project plan
hallelujah but but you know should
something greater happen and a larger
blessing be released into this ministry
we already know what to do with it we
won't be sitting around twiddling our
thumbs thank you well we've got more
money than we know what to do with let's
go to Las Vegas and spend it well you
know you know I mean you won't find us
in the casinos hallelujah but you will
find us winning the loss for the Lord
hallelujah so we have we have plans
we're not just you know strolling
through life with no purpose we have
plans and you need to have plants and
they need to be written down and you
need to visit that that plan regularly
needs to be like on your refrigerator
where you can see it hallelujah and read
it quickly read it quickly just kind of
go through it you're like okay praise
God this is what we're doing this is
what we're on this is what we're going
to accomplish for the glory of God now
we need we need to bring up something
very important let's go to Isaiah
chapter 58 Isaiah 58 verse eight it says
then your light shall break forth like
the morning your light break forth like
the morning Isaiah 58 of courses in the
context of a fast that is pleasing to
the Lord so when you have prayer and
fasting going together what
happens is light begins to break forth
and that light many times can be
revelation understanding illumination
concerning the plan that God has for
your life for dr. Oral Roberts yes it
was take God's healing power to the
nations of the world and he did but you
know what God put a big thing of icing
on his cake and you know what he wasn't
just strictly in that preacher mode he
also raised up a world-class
spirit-filled university Wow glory to
God that's still around today now stop
and think about it he's in heaven now
but the work that God empowered him to
raise up is still functioning
it's a healthy vibrant thriving
university that touches the lives of
many many people praise God but see
that's something that God unveiled to
him through revelation through
illumination that he was supposed to
raise up Benson Idaho sir raised up a
hospital there in in Africa father Padre
Pio the great man of God wow what a
wonderful man of God I love him so much
raised up a hospital in a very
inhospitable area
well they when people heard about the
idea that he's gonna start a hospital in
San Giovanni Rotondo they thought
there's there's no way there's no way
you could ever put a hospital here
there's nothing here just rocks and
hilly mountains and sheep that's it well
if you go there today you'll find one of
the world's leading hospitals one of the
greatest hospitals in all of Europe is
there because that man can you believe
it
a friar a monk a priest there living in
his little cell there at that monastery
God worked through him to raise up a
world-renowned Hospital Oh hallelujah
how did he
that he got that from heaven he got the
idea even got the name everything from
heaven whoo hallelujah my friends that's
why it's very important at times as a
fast and pray why light breaks for what
kind of light light that illuminates the
specific plan and calling that God has
for your life maybe you're listening to
me today and this thought begins to
break through into your understanding
that maybe you're supposed to raise up
an orphanage maybe you're supposed to
feed hundreds of children in
impoverished areas of the world faster
Steven I've got alike in this yes yes
glory to God we're living in the last
days God wants you to do great things
hallelujah God wants you to prosper and
flourish you could be a businessman or a
businesswoman and you know God give you
these ideas these concepts and I tell
you what God can raise you up to create
great mighty empires whoo hallelujah
were tremendous amounts of wealth are
generated and you're able to you're able
to pour into the work of the Lord you're
able to support the work that this
ministry is doing you're just able to
touch and do so many wonderful things
that when you go to be with the Lord in
heaven oh is there going to be rewards
hallelujah I'm telling you my friends we
need to have a big vision but so much of
this needs to be tied into seeing
clearly what God wants you to do mm-hmm
I'm telling you that God wants to raise
up boaz donors that can write the
multiple zeros on the cheque hallelujah
it's easy to put a 1 at the front but
put some more zeros hallelujah
hallelujah with the period or the commas
way down on the end glory to God but see
it says in the scriptures root chapter 2
that Boaz was a mighty man of wealth so
God wants to raise up people like Boaz
like job that our financial champions
and they pour into kingdom works glory
to God mm-hmm
then your light shall break forth like
the morning I see light breaking forth
right now illumination revelation
understanding unveiling of what God has
hidden and as a king you search it out
and you say I see it my god I had no
idea you wanted me to do that Wow whoo
see God unveils it now that you read a
place of maturity God unveils it now
that you're at a place of responsibility
where you say Lord I accept it that's
part of the plan that you have for my
life I embrace it now Lord I'm gonna get
this done for you while I'm on this
planet hallelujah glory to God and we
can do things together hallelujah we can
do things together is God by the Holy
Spirit knits together men and women to
stand with the ministry to span with a
man or with the woman of God so that
that work can go forward in the plan of
God and together
we prosper in the Lord because the
blessing comes down to thee that the
plan is accomplished hallelujah glory to
God glory to God my wife and I we had a
wonderful time while we were in in
London and there was a dear lady who she
would she would drive us from the hotel
to the to the meetings and she would
pick us up she had a very beautiful
vehicle and she would pick us up drive
us there after the meetings were over
she'd drive us back to the hotel to
relax and she was so she was so sweet
now I could tell that she was blessed
because you can't drive vehicles like
that and you unless you're prospering in
the Lord so I could tell she was
prosperous but she is so humble that I'm
sure that a lot of people thought well
maybe she just has a little prosperity
but you know what she was so humble but
you know she is she has over 500 people
working for her over 500 employees
praise God
as she said she said to me Pastor Steven
I'm a female Boaz I said go get it
hallelujah be blessed and what God has
called you to do Helen
yeah and see God had assigned her to
stand with the man of God and the more
God prospered her the more she is able
to pour in into the work of God that God
has connected her to hallelujah
mmm mmm glory to God God raises up
Boaz donors so that they can pour in
into that divine connection that God
connects them to that's what covenant
partnership is glory to God hallelujah
we're talking about these things today
and as we do I believe that illumination
is coming to you
discovery of your destiny and I think
that as begins to get unveiled just like
wow hey Lord Wow yes I receive glory to
God I receive great things great things
in the name of Jesus hallelujah
now many let me say this many have never
seen them fulfill the fulfillment of
their vision that they they get the plan
that it begins to be unveiled and they
begin to see that that wonderful thing
that that royal kingship anointing and
they begin to see what God has hidden it
begins to get unveiled and they they
begin to get illumination on it but what
happens is that many have never seen
fulfillment of that vision not because
God changed his mind or change the
vision but rather because they failed to
generate the power that is necessary to
bring it to pass mmm look it's gonna
begin to get unveiled to you but you're
going to need power power to bring it to
pass mmm thank you Lord Jesus all true
Commission's all true anointings all
heavenly mentals all all divine purposes
and plans that are unveiled by God and
given by God they must be bad by divine
power after all when God told Moses to
go I'm going to use you as a deliverer
Moses was like um Lord that's that uh
that sounds really good um but hey Lord
um you know I I you know I I guess I'll
just go do this but uh because you want
me to do it but hey Lord God you don't
by the way I'm gonna really need some
backup on this
the Lord said I'll do signs and wonders
okay this so he's like okay Moses is
like all right longest this is not like
just me going in there you know give it
a nice slow talk to Pharaoh long because
there is some some backup some power
okay Lord I'll I'll do that but you and
I both know if there's no power you know
this is not going to get the lift off
this is not going to get this is not
going to get the momentum or the results
or the fulfillment that were that we're
looking for look if you don't have the
power to go along with the vision you're
going to end up getting disappointed and
you're gonna think well Lord I'm not
sure why it's happening Lord maybe you
changed your mind or maybe Lord I didn't
hear from you right no you heard right
God still endorsing that but you're
going to have to realize that you're
going to need supernatural power woo say
yes in order to see this thing fulfilled
praise God
and that's okay because God's got all
the power that you need let's talk about
tapping into it
Luke chapter 4 excuse me Luke chapter 4
verse 13 now when the devil had ended
every temptation he departed from him
that would be Jesus until an opportune
time then Jesus returned in the power of
the Spirit to Galilee and news of him
went out through all the surrounding
region okay so the ministry is launched
but it's not just the launching of a
ministry yay go Jesus Cole woo
Jesus is here hallelujah let's all
celebrate the launch of a new ministry
well that's all nice but we could have
the launching of the ship and we can do
all of that but look if there's no power
whoo we're gonna run out of steam so
Jesus was launched what power glory to
God and trust me if Jesus needed power
to fulfill what God had clearly unveiled
for him to do don't think that you're
gonna not need power mm-hmm thank you
Lord Jesus well he tapped into the power
of God after 40 days of no food with
prayer and fasting he came out of that
experience with tremendous power
so my friends you're gonna need they're
gonna need divine empowerment I'm not
saying that you need to do a 40 day fast
I would say however that if you don't
ever fast and pray your chances of
fulfilling that that amazing thing that
God has raised you up to do it's
probably going to be jeopardized you
need to be willing to pay the price to
walk in the power of God and yes there
need to be times where you fast and you
pray and you seek the Lord and when you
see the amazing thing that God has
called you to do and says I'll help you
do this if you lean on me well my
friends when you see that potential
suddenly prayer and fasting becomes a
joy you're like Lord I'm willing to do
this Lord this is just the promises
alone that you've given me that the
destiny the calling Lord it's so amazing
I don't want to leave anything to chance
we're not gonna risk anything here Lord
let's do all we can lord I would even
fast and pray hallelujah
Lord that your power come let your power
come mmm glory to God
and as you do that God will help you we
really do need to tie into the various
streams of power influx into our lives
and prayer and fasting is one of those
major one of those major things
hallelujah now let's go to Acts chapter
1 verse 5 actually verse 4 and being
assembled together with them he
commanded
not to depart from Jerusalem he said
don't leave jerusalem but to wait for
the promise of the father which he said
you have heard from me so he said wait
now verse 8 but you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you
now there have there have been a lot of
people they have gone
maybe they got insight into the plan and
the purpose and they were excited and
they ran into it but what happened there
was not fulfilment or maybe there was
just a little bit of fulfillment but
they never saw the full manifestation
why they they went in their own strength
and they went in their own ability and
if you do that you're gonna fall short
my friends you're going to need the
power of God you're going to need the
Holy Spirit who will come and teach you
and guide you and strengthen you and
refresh you and illuminate you you're
going to need the Holy Spirit glory to
God hallelujah because he is the one
that that is the power source and we
need to stay very very close to him
glory to God God wants you to be walking
in power there are so many things that
that will press against you Jesus on his
way to Calvary there was there was so
much weight and pressure upon him the
devil really tried the killing there in
the garden the devil not really knowing
the full plan of God by any means but
still knowing that something of great
significance is being carried out and so
Jesus talked about how hard he was
pressed in order to get to that place of
fulfillment but he didn't quit he kept
on going and there may be times you feel
this great pressing but you must keep on
in us that power of God the power of the
Holy Spirit that's going to help you
still get it done even in the midst of
trial or hardship 2nd Corinthians
chapter 4 verse 7 says but we have this
treasure in earthen vessels that the
excellence of the power may be of God in
not of us we are hard pressed on every
side yet not crushed we are perplexed
but not in despair persecuted but not
forsaken struck down but not destroyed
always carrying about in the body the
dying of the Lord Jesus that the life of
Jesus also may be manifested in our body
so when you connect with the death
burial and resurrection of the Lord
there is that release of power into your
life and then the life of gee that the
life of Jesus begins to flow but that
also involves us living the crucified
life of prayer seeking God praying
hallelujah
I had a minister friend he he sent me a
message on whatsapp the other night
and you know he's sending it to me from
Singapore so for him it's you know
lunchtime 12 o'clock in the afternoon
and I it's it was actually like 11:55
and he said uh Pastor Steven what you
doing he said well I'm I said I'm about
to go into prayer he said you like a
corporate prayer meeting I said no just
myself and you know he realized what
time it was you said are you so you're
actually praying at this time I said yes
I'm starting to pray at midnight is well
I thought you prayed it like three or
four in the morning I said sometimes I
do but sometimes I'll just get up at
midnight and I'll pray at midnight so
you're praying it but night I I said yes
he said do you have any teaching on this
I said yes I said so I grabbed off a
youtube one of my teachings on midnight
prayer I copied and pasted it and then I
sent it to him through whatsapp and I
said you would enjoy this he's so he
said wonderful I'll watch it it was
called midnight prayer pray used to Lord
that would be a blessing to you as well
I'm sure many of you have already seen
it but the thing is is that Pastor
Steven why would you be praying at
midnight because I know what God's
called me to do I've got the plan III
see the purpose for souls to be saved
and God's people to be strengthened and
I take it seriously hallelujah and
the Holy Spirit wakes me up and I feel
fresh and I feel good well I'll just go
for it even if it's midnight hallelujah
because I I'm determined to get
accomplished and get done what God told
me to do and that if that means praying
at midnight we're praying at 3:00 in the
morning or brain at 10 o'clock in the
morning it's just whatever it takes it's
we're gonna put everything we can into
it we're gonna so we're gonna give we're
gonna pray we're gonna be in the word
we're gonna use our faith hallelujah and
we're gonna get the job done together
praise God but my friends you need to
really push praise God there can be
those times you feel like you're pressed
and Jesus felt that the Apostle Paul
felt that it sometimes it feels like
things aren't working like like you know
all this stuff like things may break or
things may go wrong but you do you feel
the pressure but you just keep on going
I remember one time I was hosting a
conference me and Kelly were actually
hosting the conference and we hadn't we
had a nice turnout because this the the
whole place was packed out there there
was literally not a seat left and the
the meeting was greatly blessed by the
Lord but the room that I was using the
gentleman that I would I was using his
his facilities he he said he had a good
sound system so I couldn't really test
it when he told me that because it was
packed away but well you know when my
tech guys came to hook up all the sound
there was a lot of problems and you know
like 10 minutes before the meeting
started and I I had brought
international speakers in and you know
I'm speaking also and the place is
packed and you know people have come in
from all over the place from different
states staying at the hotel and
everybody's all coming to the meeting
and like 10 minutes before the meeting
started the head audio guy you know who
does this full time he came to me and
said under his breath he said Stephen he
said I don't know what to tell you but
he said the entire audio system has
completely burned out it doesn't even
work the audio board is burned out and
everything is completely fried he said I
don't know what you're gonna do but he
said it is shot totally there's nothing
I can do
and I said okay I said just let me pray
and I was praying and the Holy Spirit
the gift of faith came on me and I just
somehow sensed it's going to be okay and
like like five minutes before two
o'clock in the afternoon when we had our
first session the praise and worship
started like just a few minutes after he
told me that because only had ten
minutes but five minutes before two he
came to me with his eyes like that big
eyeballs that big and he said Steve and
I don't understand it the whole thing
you started up and it seems to be
working fine I said okay I should just
monitor it keep your eye on it we're
gonna be fine and you know what through
the whole conference with meeting after
meeting after meeting the whole the
whole sound was just like perfect I mean
all the recordings came out just fine
everything was wonderful and it was like
God resurrected or raised from the dead
the crazy sound system but you know
usually you sometimes you feel this
pressure all the the more you do for the
Lord you just you feel the pressure but
even as Paul said we are hard pressed on
every side yet not crushed and there's
power and there's grace and the main
thing is you just keep on moving forward
you just keep on moving forward praise
God and the Lord is good hallelujah God
is so good hallelujah my friends were
going to do what God has called us to do
as we approach the end time everything
is being accelerated even time it's like
days just go by so fast everything is
being expedited and we're gonna be very
very busy until we go to be with the
Lord so we need to stay really focused
on what God has called us to do there
needs to be real clarity real purpose a
real embracing of the true cross a real
dying to self and a real commitment to
say Lord we're gonna get this done
no matter what it takes to your glory
hallelujah now they'll come a time when
we can rest when we all get to heaven
and we could enjoy ourselves praise the
Lord but now we need to push I'm not
saying you know harm yourself but I am
saying we need to be
focus and we need to give God our very
best praise to Lord so let's do that but
that's uh let's just really lean in and
spend time of the Lord get that plan let
me go back to that with you just for a
moment take your PIN and get a notepad
go spend time with the Lord and you know
just write down till the Lord if you're
missus spend missus woman tell the Lord
how much you want to make maybe you're
you're working at a company and you
sense God has greater potential for you
on the inside and you think lord I'd
like to have my own business you don't
need that you need to talk with the Lord
about that and tell the Lord how much
you'd like to make and to the Lord that
you would commit to tithe because you
know those those things are very very
important hallelujah you need to know
where you're going you do they have a
path you need to have a plan you need to
ask the Lord to unveil the plan that he
has for your life and if you really
search it and seek it out he'll show it
to you and it's really good and when
it's really good you see that it really
is very inspirational to live your life
100% for the Lord no don't get tangled
up in sin any kind of sin because it
will it will really keep you out of that
that that flow don't get tangled up in
sin that's something they don't teach
you in CEO school that's something they
never teach you at Harvard or Yale or
business class but I'm until I'm trying
to tell you that right now
do not get tangled up in sin because
you'reyou're messing with that plan
hallelujah and that plan is special you
don't have any time to lose hallelujah
stay focused with the Lord walk real
close with the Lord and you're going to
be so so happy praise God
thank you Lord Jesus I I feel that have
shared that there's some that see here's
what will happen if the enemy can't not
stop you through persecution he tries a
different tactic he basically says okay
persecution is not stopping the person
so let's let's actually give them what
their flesh would
and let's you know let's try to attack
them from that direction so you to be
real careful it to be real careful that
you're just a person that that is
embracing the cross okay and I think
that's something that's very phenomenal
because it says always caring about in
the body the dying of the Lord Jesus I'm
not I'm not I'm not afraid of the
crucifix pastor Steven we shouldn't wear
a necklace or a chain with the crucifix
because Jesus is not on the cross
anymore well I'm glad I'm glad you
figure that out but although he's not on
the cross anymore I sure hope you are
and if wearing a crucifix helps you
identify with the fact that you need to
be dying daily then you probably should
be wearing a crucifix praise the Lord
we weren't yet yes we know that he's not
on the cross anymore and trust me our
Catholic friends and the Anglicans and
the you know the others at what wear the
rosary crosses many of them are very
brilliant very smart have degrees went
that the theological schools and things
like that they know also that Jesus is
not on the cross it's just an
identification that we need to be on the
cross and we need to be embracing that
cross because have you noticed there's a
lot of carnality in the church today
whoo there's a lot of carnality in the
church today and if you want to do what
God calls you to do watch out for the
devil because he's a flesh devil he'll
tried to get you in the flesh and he'll
try to make sin very convenient and
comfortable for you and I'm here today
to tell you as a full gospel Pentecostal
tongue talking preacher do not get
tangled up in sin live a holy life live
a holy life because you're not gonna get
a couple of short God called you to do
if you're goofing around over there in
sin don't don't do stuff like that
embrace the cross because when you do
that you carry about in your body the
dying of the Lord Jesus that the life of
Jesus also may be manifested in our body
we need to be people that are dead to
the world we're in the world we're not
of the world
praise God watch out for the dead
tricks I fly I fly all over the world
and when I go you know that they are the
first thing they do mr. Brooks would you
like some champagne no well they're not
really seeing it with a southern accent
but all they'll stick it right in my
face big tray oh yeah this is not the
cheapo stuff this is this is a high and
you know high dollar champagne that's
why that by the way that's why maybe
some of you are not flying in business
class because you know if you were there
you'd be like well yeah I'll take two
I'll take three and before you know it
you're flying drunk I don't mess with
that stuff I I don't condemn Christians
that drink I don't condemn Christians
that smoke I I'm not but here's the
thing I'm not trying to see how
loosey-goosey I can live and still
maintain the anointing somehow no
there's some things I don't touch I'm
very serious about living a life that is
that that is embracing that splintery
rugged old cross I love the cross I know
it's an instrument of death but I love
it because my flesh needs it every day
and so does yours hallelujah I must say
you can't have fun in life I'm not
saying you can't laugh in life I'm not
saying that there are not things that
the Lord does say it's permissible and
it's fine but I'm saying I'm not trying
to see how far I can get to the edge
where I just slip over in the carnality
I'm not doing that I don't have time for
the I don't have time to do that
truth be told neither do you and time is
very very short you find that power now
look you're going to need to plan you're
going to need power the plan and the
power comes together at Calvary perhaps
you've been listening to me to me today
and you're thinking pastor Steve but I
really like this about having a plan
that God's got a plan for my life but
you have to understand that all the
plans the beautiful things he has for
you it's all under the master plan of
salvation so if you have never made
Jesus the Lord of your life and you've
never received his plan of salvation you
need to start there there's no better
time than starting right now why don't
you make today your day of salvation and
step in to
that amazing plan that he has for your
life if you've never received the Lord
Jesus as your Savior please pray this
out loud after me right now just say
Lord Jesus I come before you as a sinner
I ask you to forgive me of my sins I ask
you to wash me with your precious blood
I believe that you died at Calvary that
you were raised from the dead after the
third day and that you're now seated in
heaven at the right hand of God the
Father Lord Jesus take my life save me
from all of my sins I receive you now as
my Lord and Savior amen

prayer we would love to hear from you
