I'm pastor Stephen Brooks and welcome
today to our a midweek Bible study
called morning glory I'm so happy that
you're here today and I want to invite
you to grab your Bibles and meet me in
psalm 37 and we're going to look today
at verse 4 which we have covered this
verse before but I believe that today
the Holy Spirit is illuminating the
scripture and we need to give it special
attention because it's time for this
word of the Lord to blossom in your
heart and in your life so Psalm 37:4
and let's open up in prayer Heavenly
Father we asked it as we jump into your
word today that your Holy Spirit would
illuminate the Scriptures bringing them
alive so that we can take them and
receive them today as spiritual food
thank you father in Jesus name and we
all agree around the world and say Amen
Psalm 37:4
delight yourself also in the Lord and he
shall give you the desires of your heart
so we are told to delight ourselves in
the Lord and thus when we do that these
wonderful desires that we have in our
hearts will be manifested by the Lord
Himself but it does hinge around
delighting yourself in the Lord and I
think that's important to spend time
with the Lord get to know the Lord
personally talk to him and ask him
questions and you know spend time
studying and meditating on Scripture and
when we really live for the Lord not
just in our devotional time but when we
just live our lives our entire lives
surrendered to the Lord then you'll find
that the Lord will bring you into that
place where every single desire of your
heart is met and you've still got time
and I believe that as you continue to
walk with the Lord you will walk right
into these heart desire blessings now
this is interesting because it doesn't
refer here to the subject of needs and
while there is a place for needs because
God will supply all of our need
according to his riches by Christ Jesus
we know that and we are in faith for the
basics to be covered but there's
something about needs that I guess we
could say it's not always too exciting
when we are discussing needs when you
buy new socks or when you need to buys a
box of cereal it's not like that's
really exciting it's something that you
need but there is the area of desires
where suddenly you wake up and your
heart begins to become excited and your
brain wants to engage because the truth
is even with your brain you can learn
anything if you like it if you're into
it you can unravel it you can solve it
you can step into it and do it because
there's something about a supernatural
attraction to what God has wired you
towards and for others it may seem
complex or complicated and even for
yourself to a degree maybe it is but
your desire to know and your passion for
that overwhelms even the hurdles of what
could be a steep learning curve or
subject material that may be a few or
daring or willing to wade through praise
God but my friends God is going to bring
these heart's desires into your life
continued to walk with Him and I want to
call today's message stay on track
because this is where it's leading you
to when you stay on track you're going
to eventually pull right into the train
station of having your heart's desires
manifested now we're not talking about
needs today we're talking along that
line of hearts desires and something
that would help you also
is to list out and write out your top
three hearts desires and then here's
something interesting there will be some
of you that as you write these three out
and you can do it right now
just uh you know kind of work along with
me today as we go through this as you
write out your three top heart's desires
and I also think it won't take you long
the right amount because for most of you
you already know what they are but there
will be those of you as you just write
them out real quick on paper you'll look
at them some of them will be in an area
like if you're single let's say your guy
and you're single maybe you're in your
20s and you want to get married okay
girl you're going to write down you know
a life a spouse you you you want a wife
you're ready to get married or we could
reverse that maybe your lady and you're
looking for your guy and you know you
want a spirit-filled man that loves to
Lord okay so that's going to be on your
list and maybe there's somebody you know
you just have a real strong desire to
operate in the spiritual gifts and
you're really into that right now and
that's wonderful so you're gonna write
spiritual gifts maybe the gift of
prophecy or whatever it is that you know
God stirred in your heart and you write
those things out but let me also say
this as we kind of just be honest in the
sense that not everything in life has to
be or needs to be spiritual although
true spirituality is just walking with
the Lord walking in the spirit not
walking in the flesh you want to be in
that zone all the time but my friends
there are the other areas of life that
are important and I would I would
believe that for many of you as you look
at your list of three heart's desires
ask yourself this can money answer that
heart's desire in other words if you put
down an orphanage you know maybe having
a heart hearts desire to start an
orphanage well how are you going to do
that without money and even if you do
get some money you're going to need some
more because the kids are going to eat
the food there at the orphanage and that
renewed some food next week next month
they're gonna need clothes and on and on
it goes so many of the things that would
be listed even in the category of hearts
desires it's going to require finances
and I want to talk today
about how I see God bringing you into
the manifestation of your heart's
desires keeping in mind that it all is
linked to that first statement delight
yourself in the Lord and when you
delight yourself in the Lord you're into
the Lord you're into his things you're
into his book his word you have a heart
for the things of God then these other
things are going to follow but I want to
give you some understanding from the
Word of God how you are led into this
tract of blessing praise the Lord thank
you Jesus and I believe a good example
for this can be found in the book of 2nd
chronicles let's go over there I've been
hanging out over here for a few days and
really enjoying it reading about the
kings of Israel the kings of Judah but
here in second chronicles chapter 32
we have insight into the life of
Hezekiah even some private insights into
his devotional walk with the Lord and I
want you to understand through his godly
life how all of his dreams came to pass
and how the Lord can do the same thing
for you so we are now in second
chronicles chapter 32 and let's begin in
verse 24 it says in those days Hezekiah
was sick and near death and he prayed to
the Lord and he spoke to him and gave
him a sign but Hezekiah did not repay
according to the favor shown him for his
heart was lifted up there for wrath was
looming over him and over Judah and
Jerusalem then Hezekiah humbled himself
for the pride of his heart now one of
the things that you're going to need to
do in order to stay on track and reach
this area of the manifestation of your
heart's desires is you're going to have
to stay humble because with the blessing
of the Lord and with the increase of the
Lord operating in your life it can be
very easy to drift especially if you
begin to drift from
the anchor of your devotional life with
the Lord if anything begins to erode
that you're in trouble and you need to
put the brakes on and get back into the
secret place and make sure that that
first priority is always kept as the
first priority and so you're gonna have
to stay in a place of having a humble
heart especially when people give you
accolades or they say hey you know great
job you know we won again or we had
another good season or reclosed out
another year on top and this time that's
even better than last time you have to
watch all that stuff you know don't let
that stuff go to your head
and I know I'm not saying read criticism
I'm not saying saying that you need to
meditate on maybe the negative that
could be out there because even Jesus
who was sinless and perfect he had tons
of critics
so some criticism no matter what you do
right and how many things you do right
it's just always going to be there so I
would say don't focus on the negative
but I would say that be careful with all
the good stuff that can be said because
I remember one time that I finished
ministering at a preachers conference
you know had a bunch of Ministers there
and I ministered and when I got done a
lady came up to me and she said I've
been in the church many many years you
know not she wasn't saying that church
she was a visitor but she she's been a
Christian for many many years
and she had heard me preach and she said
I just want you to know and she was so
sincere she said I just want you to know
and she was a you know mature lady she
was maybe in her early 70s so I figured
you know she'd been around the block a
few times and she said I just want you
to know that I consider you to be the
greatest preacher that I've ever heard
and she said it was such sincerity and
really tried to convey it with a very
sincere face and you know a very
meaningful you know way of conveying it
and I thought that was really cool you
know and uh I thought that was neat I
said well Lord you know that that's good
you know and sometimes you do need
encouragement but you know be careful
because really the bottom line is the
Lord
it's what does the Lord think about it
and how are things viewed in his eyes
and so don't ever get a big hit because
you know after she said that I got to
talking to a few other people and uh and
then after I'd talked with them it was
time to cross over the church sanctuary
go through a door over on the other side
and then that door would take me back
into the back where there was a dinner
that was prepared for all of the
ministers now when I walked across the
sanctuary to get to the other side to
open that door I saw the same lady this
is only five minutes after what she told
me I saw the same lady she had her back
to me so she poly didn't know where I
was at or maybe thought I'd left and she
had her back to me and she had another
minister standing in front of her a
friend of mine and I heard her saying to
him I just want you to know that I've
heard many preachers preach but I
consider you to be the greatest preacher
that I've ever heard preached and doubt
oh he was heating it up - I could see he
was lit up like a light bulb and it I
just thought Lord you know why are there
people that even do stuff like that like
that crazy lady but at the same time you
know the Lord just spoke to me and said
you don't take all of it with a grain of
salt because while encouragement can be
good just guard your heart don't ever
get into pride it's one of the it's one
of the sins that can take you out quick
now all sin is dangerous but there's
something about pride because that was
the one that took Lucifer down and that
was what he was you know you have in the
Book of Isaiah Lucifer speech the
classic five I will I will do this I
will do this and he lists out his five I
wheels and it's all every single one of
them was a great example of the epitome
of the danger of pride in what took him
out so watch out for that because it
began to sneak into the life of Hezekiah
because it wasn't too long ago he was
under tremendous pressure and duress
from the army of Assyria that was just
rolling through the country
getting closer and closer to Jerusalem
and he kept holding to the word of the
Lord
he kept holding to the word of the Lord
and sure enough God delivered him and in
one night an angel came and killed 185
thousand of their best soldiers of the
enemy killed their best soldiers and the
king and his remaining troops had to
retreat and go back to their pagan land
and God delivered them well when that
happened I mean everybody just thought
Hezekiah is it I mean you even had the
Philistines bringing this guy tribute
bringing silver to him and people from
all over Kings from all over were just
like wow we thought you were a goner
and yet you ended up totally whoopin him
and and humiliating him and because it
does say that that that enemy king he
went back in shame and disgrace Wow so
you know people were praising Hezekiah
uh you know they weren't they weren't
praising him like he's God but they were
like he'd been on the accolades oh man
you're great you did it Wow what wisdom
what you know what courage and you know
all of that and obviously he was eating
it up and he did get into pride please
be careful with this you can use
blessings you can you can you can
literally take blessings of God and you
can twist them in a wrong way and
actually use them as weapons of
intimidation you can use them as
platforms of pride you must be very very
careful to never ever misuse the
blessings the gifts and the anointing of
the Lord praise God because the Lord
will work very quickly against you I
want to I want to use that word properly
when I say he works against you I'm just
saying he will deal with you if you get
into Pride he'll deal with you very very
quickly because he knows how serious it
is much faster than he will even with
some other sins not that he's tolerating
the other sins but pride is something
that really will catch his attention
that he knows how dangerous it is
so he'll you know call you on the carpet
as we say with that one please be
careful with that these are all things
that you're going to have to deal with
as you stay on track now you're on track
but I'm trying to say stay on track and
you'll end up in that place of seeing
even your heart's desires not not just
basic needs I'm talking even hearts
desires manifested every single one of
them in your life praise the Lord
let's continue on verse 26 then Hezekiah
humbled himself for the pride of this
heart he and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem so that the wrath of the Lord
did not come upon them in the days of
Hezekiah Hezekiah had very great riches
and honor and he made himself Treasuries
for silver he's got so much even of the
precious stuff that he's got to have as
we would say these safety vaults secure
houses you know these are strengthened
fortified places that keep all of these
exotic items that are now accumulating
within his Treasuries and he made
himself Treasuries for silver for gold
for precious stones for spices let me
just take a little side road just for a
moment always thank God any time you
reach for the salt shaker and the pepper
shaker now I know it's common today but
even back during the Roman days salt
still was very rare to the point that
even Roman soldiers were actually paid
in salt yes they would also get a
currency a coin some coins but they were
also paid in salt that's where we get
the the old expression not used much
today but a few generations back it was
is a man worth his salt in other words
is he a good worker is you knows you
have good character well that all comes
from the fact that people actually used
to get paid in salt well now good salt
is everywhere and but that that's a
blessing because without salt your food
is going to go down a major levels of
enjoyment of taste factor just by not
having salt if you can't cook with it
you don't have it
the food's not nearly going to be as
good now we have pepper everywhere but
pepper used to be something that only
Kings and royalty had it was extremely
rare it was extremely expensive but
today everybody has it so I'm the same
be thankful because some of these things
that used to be at the high end of ultra
luxury they're now you know left and
right at same way with spices you know
everything from nutmeg the cinnamon and
paprika all of this back then would have
been high level King area but it's all
over the place today but think again
what would your food be like without
spice I mean after all what's Mexican
food without Mexican spices right so you
know you need it for everything so thank
God for it every time you use it because
it is a blessing now he had storehouses
even for his spices for shields and the
thing is you get into shields and swords
and armory you know when you start
getting wealthy you can jazz all of that
up so you don't just have a shield now
you have a shield with like engraving or
carving on it and so all of that was
really nice stuff and it also says that
there were also Treasuries for all kinds
of desirable items so you had a lot of
goods okay he continues on store houses
for the harvest of grain wine and oil
and stalls for all kinds of livestock
and folds for flocks look I'm telling
you that if you just stay with the Lord
through thick or thin through good times
through challenging times through
whatever is floating around out there in
the world if you will just hang with the
Lord that covenant kicks in and it will
lift you over every trial and it will
always give you victory now there may be
some heat and trust me
he felt the heat but he persevered he
continued to trust in the Lord and they
came out in total victory and so will
you so will you the Covenant it's not a
respecter of persons and you need to be
a Christian
that will lock on to what I call
covenant principles will praise the Lord
I like miracles and God does miracles
but there are some things that miracles
alone can't get you into there are
principles in God's Word that you need
to determine to completely start living
your life by okay so it's principles
that give you lift
it's principles that are the track that
will take you into the station of
blessing and of hearts desires so you
fly an airplane not by miracles you
could you could get a miracle and
somehow we get them we'd get a miracle
and we get them we get the airplane up
but then again you're gonna need another
miracle to land it safely okay but let's
let's believe God for miracles and let's
operate in miracles but miracles are an
overriding of natural laws so when God
is not overriding his own laws that he
established remember he he made the
natural laws so they are good okay so we
need to learn to work with the natural
and also the supernatural and the
miraculous but what I'm trying to say is
that so often we have to operate with
the natural since we do let's learn how
to fly the airplane let's go to flight
school let's get a pilot's license let's
get titrated for the plane let's fly the
plane on what on principles okay and
then we can fly it whenever we want to
and should we ever need a miracle
certainly we can use our faith for that
but let's operate primarily on
principles and that my friends will
bring stability into your life which is
what you need in a world well there are
so many different types of shakings and
so forth but God will always give you
the victory just like you did for good
King Hezekiah praise the Lord let's
continue on so he had these storehouses
for the harvest of grain wine and oil
and stalls for all kinds of livestock
and folds for flocks you have to get
comfortable because it's coming with
more than enough well pastor Stephen
what do I do with it well you can be a
blessing you can enjoy it
for yourself and you can also be an
extension into the lives of others and
be a blessing because you've got that
much livestock you have that much cattle
you could certainly hold a really nice
barbecue for everybody now verse 29
moreover he provided cities for himself
and possessions of flocks and herds and
abundance to watch this for God had
given him very much property let me say
that again
God gave Hezekiah very much property not
the devil
God did it praise the Lord now there's
something about land maybe you've heard
this before they're not making any more
of it okay now I do know that in some
situations that may be in an island is
formed out in the remote Pacific
somewhere through a volcanic eruption
but then again a lot of those islands
that are formed eventually sink within a
few years so it's not like there's a
whole lot of land being made and I do
know off the coast of the by about a
decade ago they were really into this
new land development off the off the
coast out there in the water because
they have some shallow water that goes
out for quite a distance and they
started dredging all the sand and moving
all the sand into certain areas and
making these you know islands that were
going to build houses on and some of
that some of that they did they actually
made some beautiful palm shaped islands
and things like that and but then they
found out later that that was not a good
thing to do from an ecological
perspective because now the natural
Beach that they already did have what
you know so many skyscrapers sitting on
it then you know the tallest one in the
world sitting there they have found out
that when they removed all of that sand
that Sam was a natural buffer from the
storms that blow in and it would help
eliminate erosion but now that all that
sand is gone because they moved it there
was nothing really to block these high
levels of erosion could cause some
problems with all of those beautiful
skyscrapers so close to the edge of that
maybe they'll find a way to fix it
perhaps they already have who
but my friends they're not really making
land anymore and so there is an
anointing to acquire land to acquire
property and it was all over Hezekiah
Hezekiah had very much property because
God gave it to him now that is for some
of you that are watching that is an
anointing for some of you I wouldn't say
for all of you because remember if you
start getting these properties you know
there are a few states in America not
not many you have Tennessee you have
Florida you have some others I wish you
I wish it was North Carolina okay but
there are some some states where you
don't have to pay any property tax and
that's that's a blessing because I just
talked to somebody
two days ago who who had moved from New
York and it was kind of funny maybe it's
not funny to the people that are living
there but I thought it was kind of funny
but the tax on his home every year the
property tax was $50,000 and you just
gotta come up with that every single
year well he got tired of that sold the
home and moved and so now he's here in
North Carolina
which is what many people do but my
friends if you own a lot of it you're
going to have to oversee it manage it
and in many cases pay the taxes on that
but don't let that deter you
if God has calling you into that area
because some of the properties could be
investment properties and God wants you
to buy them maybe not to hold on to them
for twenty or thirty years but just to
hold on them you know for maybe two or
three years maybe it's an investment
property maybe you're supposed to clear
it maybe you're supposed to develop it
you know maybe are supposed to build
something on it but that can be
something I really believe as I was
getting these notes for this message
that that is for quite a few of you that
are out there I know it's least for ten
people that are watching for solit for
sure I know that there are ten people
that that are watching that God wants to
give you an anointing to acquire
property God had given him there
much property we will pray used to Lord
so just remember if you have it you have
to watch over it and of course you're
responsible for you need insurance and
all of that but if that anointing that
is there then certainly God understands
all of that and he would give provision
for that thank you Jesus now I want
those of you that have a heart for that
to receive that anointing so father I
pray for those that have a desire to own
property and if you don't know any you
at least need to own some for yourself
okay and of course if you're getting
more that you those are all for yourself
in a sense but you know there is
something about being a landowner and
you know here at the ministry we own
this property and me and Kelly we own
our house
and so when you're an owner you have a
voice it's almost like if you don't own
anything then you you don't really have
a voice but when you do have ownership
you can put your foot down and you could
say this is mine I live here I have a
voice here I have something to say and
so you do because it's yours praise the
Lord so if you don't own any land you
don't own any type of property you need
to own something praise the Lord
so that's referring to a lot more than
the ten the ten I see collecting
properties I mean your order to collect
properties like some people collect you
know toy cars okay I you're going to
collect them and you're gonna you're
gonna have a lot you and I say a lot you
may have a hundred properties because
there are people that are out there I
used to lease from a landlord a nice guy
really laid-back you wouldn't know he
had a lot of money but he owned over a
hundred properties and many of the
properties were over a lot of the
properties just individually were over a
million dollars in value but he was a
really nice guy praise the Lord but not
let me pray for those of you that would
like to come into land ownership you
want to own some property lift up your
hands Heavenly Father I pray for those
that are watching who don't own anything
as far as land or property father let a
member
happen and let them come into property
and land ownership not renting but
ownership in the name of Jesus amen
praise the Lord hallelujah the stampede
and give the angels some time to work
but I'll tell you what it's good to
drive around and look around and you
know I have also found in times like
this that those that are looking to sell
oftentimes they'll even do owner
financing so don't rule it out don't say
well I I don't have the money Pastor
Steven I can't get qualified I'm telling
you there's always a way and so if if
you look and you ask and sometimes you
have to ask you'll find people that are
working that are willing to work outside
of the box they don't need traditional
Linda you know some of these people
they're just like hey I'm ready to
unload it look if you can pay it off in
three years let's make a deal you know
and let's drop a contract and get it
done so and I've done stuff like that
before
mainly because I asked I've asked and uh
and then you know would be faithful with
payments and get it paid off and next
thing you know you're the title deed
holder and that feels good praise the
Lord so God can do it for anybody but
use your faith don't make excuses say
well I I that that could never happen to
me it could happen to anybody who will
believe and I've seen I've seen people
get properties that I don't know there
was one lady she got a property I
couldn't believe this property she got
and she she got it she bought this home
because for whatever reason the home
wasn't selling so she went to the owner
directly and the seller the man and his
wife they had been working with the real
estate company well the the contract
with the real estate company had just
expired because they've been on the
market for a year and the real estate
company never got it sold and so the
contract is now over so they can do
whatever they want now and she shows up
right at the right time and says why
don't you give me owner financing I can
you know I can't put down 10% but I can
at least put something down that shows
I've got skin in the game
and she said give me three years and
I'll have I'll have this either either
alone for you to pay it off all have the
whole thing paid off and um and she she
was in and they did it they said yes and
she pulled it off I don't know how she
got the money but she got the money she
had three years to get it and she owns a
phenomenal home and she had never owned
a home before so I've had similar type
situations with me and Kelly where we've
just asked I I bought a phenomenal piece
of property on the golf course one time
that once I had the land cleared people
although all the locals couldn't believe
the preeminent spot that that lot was
and the way I bought that lot was by a
miracle I just drove by I drove out one
day and my vehicle and I said today I
don't know how because I didn't I didn't
have the money at that time to go out
with traditional financing by the way
it's very hard to get financing on land
on raw land especially this undeveloped
land most lenders most lending
institutions banks and whatever they own
they don't want to lend money on land
but and I knew that and I thought well
you know I just said I want to go out
anyhow and I want to buy something
somehow I just drove around and I saw
that lock and it had trees all over it
and it briars and weeds growing all over
it and uh it was it looked bad and not
only that when it had all these
beautiful homes close by it and whenever
the lawn guys would mow the homes of
these wealthy people for whatever reason
they would take all the grass clippings
and dump them on that vacant lot because
it had all these trees and all these
briars and bushes and so they would
throw there that they weren't supposed
to do that of course they're supposed to
take all that stuff to the to the dump
and haul it off right well and I had
done just all this debris and stuff and
so nobody had ever bought it and so I
went to the to the owner and I said hey
I said if you'll sell me that lot I can
give you this much down it was enough to
kind of make him feel you know hey he's
in and so I but you know he also trusted
me and I said I I can pay it off well I
think I told
him like two years or something like
that I still have it whole thing paid
off in two years and he said yes and the
realtor couldn't even believe he
actually had a realtor and the realtor
couldn't believe that he said yes but it
was a done deal
went to the you know to the signing it's
all official and got him paid off quick
got him paid off and owned it owned it
outright held the title deed in my hand
I tell you what it's an amazing thing
so it's happened for me it's happened
for others and it can happen for you
praise God
now receive receive an anointing to buy
land to acquire property in the name of
Jesus amen now if you believe it you
need to at least go out sometime on your
day off and drive around and look a
pastor statement I don't have any money
you know just have a little something
pull together something and then just
look hallelujah and sometimes there are
those that are out there that are
willing to do what I would call creative
financing there's a lot more people out
there than what you would think because
there's a lot of wealthy people also
they'll do that they let so much money
they're like hey you know I've already
got so much money yeah I'll work with
you just to be nice to you there aren't
people that are like that so just have
faith have faith then God can give your
favor praise the Lord and for those that
I saw the tin that you'll be like
Hezekiah just trust the Lord to give you
that wisdom in that anointing really
better than anointing I would even call
it a territorial anointing mmm-hmm thank
you Jesus and so for those of you that
feel called to that to hold a portfolio
of properties
father I pray for them that you caused
this to just break forth in their life
that the husbands and wives they'll see
they'll just see it maybe sometimes the
wife will see it maybe sometimes the
husband will see it maybe sometimes
they'll both see it together but they'll
say that's it that's a winner let's buy
that lot right there and we thank you
Father it's for investment they'll
resell it later and make profit off of
it so father we give you praise and
glory in Jesus name Amen and amen
I was just reading about another man
just a couple days ago he bought some
acreage and once he had bought it for
some reason he felt so good that God was
so happy that he bought that land and
when he bought that land after he had
signed it and you know I
he owned it the Holy Spirit spoke to him
and said don't ever sell that property
it was it was raw land nothing on it but
trees and grass and Holy Spirit don't
ever say he said don't ever sell that
property that property will take care of
you and your family for the rest of your
life
okay and so you know he's only in his
40s and he thought wow what a word from
the Lord but what could it mean it's
just raw undeveloped land with a bunch
of trees on it you know well anyhow what
wasn't too much too much more time after
that maybe just a few months after he'd
bought the land then the natural gas
company said can we you know do a few
tests on your property we think that
there could be natural gas wells you
know the underground gas on your
property he said yeah go ahead and test
and found out that yeah there was mega
gas way down they drill fort and just a
lot of money enough money for for him to
just really in a sense retire if he
wanted to because the world to check
that would be coming in every month was
way up there I mean thousands and
thousands way up there every single
month and so it was a true word from the
Lord it's a it's enough to take care of
he and his family for the rest of his
life but of course he keeps on working
because you know he loves the Lord and
you know nobody wants to sit around and
shut down when you're 40 okay so my
friends thought God's gonna do some
amazing things in this area of property
now verse 30
this same Hezekiah also stopped the
water outlet of upper bihaan and brought
the water by tunnel to the west side of
the city of David and I've actually have
walked through that tunnel
that's an amazing experience if you go
to Israel you'll definitely want to do
that and on the day when we do that you
probably want to
err some shorts or at least some pants
where you could roll your pants up to
about your knees and off we go walking
through some fun water same tunnels so
he got to do some wonderful engineering
projects as well and it says that
Hezekiah prospered in all his works well
I want you to understand that Hezekiah
really had a heart for the Lord was he
perfect know that he that he makes the
really goofy mistakes at times yes but
he'd get back on track and he also
really knew how to honor the prophets or
what we would call the man of God
because back then with the ministry all
you had was the Prophet they didn't have
the apostle or the Evangelist pastor a
teacher all they had was the Prophet so
today would be like saying you know I
honor the man of God
and Hezekiah really knew how to do that
and God would give Isaiah the most
incredible words and Isaiah would
prophesy things like the king of Assyria
may come and he may make all these
threats but he will not come into
Jerusalem he will not even set up a
siege he will turn back in shame and go
back the way that he came and you know
he would give these amazing words when
it looked like total defeat was the only
thing they were facing but he was
speaking under the anointing of the
Spirit everything you said came to pass
and as Akaya always had a prophet in his
court he always had an ear for the
prophets and he loved the prophets so
that you could say that this man
Hezekiah while he was he was brilliant
he was smart he had a heart for God and
he understood the anointing that that
was not his ability to really walk in
that kind of a prophetic anointing he
had the king the noin team but he knew
the value of the prophetic voice and
when you honor that it releases
tremendous blessing into your life and
really he could not have done what he
did without having Isaiah in his court
having that prophetic word it is
vital but I honestly I don't know what
some people do without prophecy I have
had prophetic words that have charted
and set the course of my destiny
so without prophecy and without the
gifts of the Spirit
without the supernatural without the
miraculous in the sense where let the
Holy Spirit move and God move and guide
and be God well you know there would be
a lot I wouldn't know I would just be
kind of like out there in the dark kind
of feeling around just hoping I could
figure it out my friends honor the Lord
honored the prophetic honor the prophets
that God would put in your life honor
the prophetic voice that God would put
in your life and honor the man of God in
your life that was something that
Hezekiah was really really good at
whoo-hoo praise the Lord and you know I
have a man of God in my life and his
secretaries came up to me and pastor
Kelly one day when he wasn't there and
they told us they said pastor Stephen
out of all the spiritual sons he has and
he has a lot all over the world they
said out of all the spiritual sons he
has you and Kelly who is also his
spiritual daughter
they said you to honor him more than
anybody else does in you honor him more
than any of his other spiritual children
well praise the Lord and so sometimes
people look at my life my ministry with
a little bit of a mystery why is there
such a blessing well you have to honor
you have to honor the the people that
God puts in your life as spiritual
mentors and spiritual fathers or I would
also say spiritual mothers for some
people as a spiritual mother for me it's
it's usually been a spiritual father but
what the Apostle Paul said was true you
have not many spiritual fathers do you
can have a whole lot of teachers but you
don't have many fathers so when you have
a father and of course you would always
honor your natural father but you would
also want to honor in the same way your
spiritual father because you're your
future a lot of it is actually tied up
in that person
and the way that you honor them and so
although Hezekiah was king and he's the
guy in charge he was just like hey I
gotta have Isaiah okay get that guy back
in here because this crazy Assyrian King
is threatening us and he's we're
outnumbered like enormous Lee so get the
Prophet in here and we need we need we
need the word of the Lord praise God so
you have to wait all of those things so
Hezekiah had all of that going on so it
was a really really good king praise the
Lord
now look if you stay on track like
Hezekiah did you're going to end up in
this same place look I can predict your
future by your practices okay and so you
keep staying on track working the word
walking with the Lord doing these things
like Hezekiah did that were rock-solid
these principles you're going to end up
saying you know what we need to open up
some some Treasuries we need to open up
some storehouses we are having so much
increase and we are having so much
blessing that we need we need to make
some plans of expansion here because who
the Lord is just moving in our midst so
my friends that's where you're going and
that's the blessing of the Lord for you
and these heart's desires God's going to
do it every single one of them but stay
very very close to the Lord and stay on
track and you'll see it happen in your
life now let's pray Heavenly Father I
thank you for everyone that's watching
that as we've covered some different
areas of hearts desires and also all of
these things that would be Treasury type
items and heart desires would be in
there somewhere as well father we just
thank you we thank you that as your
people stay on track stay faithful and
stay patient they are going to roll into
every single blessing that you have
intended for them thank you thank you
thank you Father in the name of Jesus
now I hear the Holy Spirit say stay on
focus okay because God has designated
blessings for you that you are intended
to receive and you are
in a pursuit mode and that is good but
I'm saying sometimes we have different
anointings different things where we
must go towards but you're gonna have to
stay on track and be very very focused
that you pursue what God has for you
because it's going to bring the Lord a
lot of glory
it's gonna make you very happy and in
your life it's gonna be a great witness
as these things begin to come forth so
while you may rejoice and others in
what's going on in their life and that's
wonderful you have to use that focus to
really stay on track and keep moving
towards what your assignment is and
that's very important and I believe
you're going to get it done
praise God now if you're watching
today's program and you're intrigued by
Good King Hezekiah and you think I'd
like to have a life like that my friends
that all begins with the relationship of
knowing Christ as your Lord and Savior
okay so if you don't knowing today is
the day of salvation don't put it off
another day don't even put it off
another minute get your life right with
God right now if you're ready to do that
and I believe you are pray out loud this
prayer after me say Lord Jesus I come
before you now and I ask you to take all
of my sin away I ask you to wash me with
your precious blood forgive me of my
sins Jesus I give my heart my life to
you now thank you Jesus write my name in
your book of life thank you Jesus save
me now thank you Jesus for making me
yours I belong to you now Jesus in your
name I pray amen
and they amen and my friends you do
belong to the Lord now and he has heard
that prayer and he is now your Lord and
Savior and he is now your king praise
God let's all take holy communion today
glory glory to Jesus grab some
unleavened bread and grab some grape
juice now I use these little wafers you
can buy these in just about any
Christian bookstore
or you go on Amazon in order these
praise God that they're available also
online from many of the Christian
bookstores it as well and then I just
use grape juice okay and in the Bible
sin was represented by leaven okay so
when you see the communion wafer it
would be one without leaven in other
words that's why they're always flat
okay because leaven was a type of sin
Jesus would say things like beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees okay and he
was talking about the sin of their
hypocrisy how they they say do one thing
and while they do the other and they're
total hypocrite so that's why we use
these type of wafers
okay let's pray Heavenly Father we thank
you for the bread and the juice and now
as we take communion with them we pray
over these and we set this apart as Holy
so we know that this is now the body and
the blood of Jesus because father Jesus
said that when we partake of communion
we are receiving his flesh and his blood
thank you O God so father we thank you
that as we received the flesh of Jesus
his body we receive the promises that
you have for us I thank you for making
your people land owners property owners
we're room I thank you for the land
tycoons that you are raising up for your
glory father we give you praise in the
name of Jesus thank you for his body
amen let's receive today
hallelujah Bishop David Ojeda PO in
Nigeria told the story years back of
when he needed land a meeting place for
his Bible College and it was getting
closer and closer to the start date for
the Bible College and all of these
people are signing up and they're all
ready to go to Bible College and there
was no meeting place and so it got
closer and closer and one day while he
was in prayer he told one of his
assistants he said get up and go and
drive to the certain location and the
Holy Spirit had revealed to the bishop
where the location was and he said
inquire of that location and so the
assistant gets in a car drives out there
and pulls up to this property there's a
building on it there's a man standing
there at the entrance of the property
and the assistant gets out and says are
you the owner of this facility he says
I'm not the owner he said God's the
owner I'm the caretaker of it and so the
assistant said well if you're the
caretaker of it the Lord says we have
need of this building he said what for
they said for a Bible College he said
here it is see you never know the
purpose it could be a purpose for
investment but it could be a purpose
because God has need of it
praise God so my friends is good to own
property praise the Lord
Heavenly Father we thank you for the
blood of Jesus mm-hmm thank you for the
wisdom of the Lord Jesus his superior
wisdom we thank you Oh God mmm
thank you Jesus father I think you I see
you removing people from debt very very
quickly now you're really going to
accelerate this debt deliverance thing
mm-hmm it's been a long time of your
people have been trusting you believing
you to be brought out of the Babylonian
bondage of financial debt so father I
just praise you I praise you I see all
credit cards getting paid off somebody
needs to shout hallelujah I see all of
your credit card
getting paid off and those of you that
have drugged that ball and chain of
student loans maybe for decades now
that's about to get chop suey de
hallelujah it's gonna get cut off and
those debts are going to get paid off
with just one big blessing watch what
the Lord will do praise the Lord praise
the Lord thank you Jesus thank you Jesus
if there were anything that I would say
you know let's make an exception for
debt I would say it would be for the
purchase of a home or for the purchase
of property and you're requiring
properties I can see how in the sense
that many times you need to get
something financed to go into that so
we're not saying that debt is sinful or
debt is wrong but we are saying that
when it comes to credit cards and this
stuff that really becomes a trap and a
snare we really want to have all that
paid off and be free and of course
eventually even homes is prop improperly
paid off as well praise the Lord father
thank you for the blood of Jesus just as
the blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin
the blood of Jesus is also able to bring
great deliverance even from the
deliverance of debt we thank you that
your angels and that's what it is your
angels are working with I wouldn't say
feverishly because it's not like they
have a fever but I would say they're
working hotly they're working with great
heat and fervency to get these debts
paid off and so things are going to
happen quickly
we're provisions going to come and other
sources of blessing are going to come
and the debts are going to get paid off
praise God so father we thank you for it
we believe it in Jesus name
and we agree and say Amen yes let's
receive the blood of Jesus
hallelujah the Lord is good stay on
track and you're gonna be just like Good
King Hezekiah
you're gonna be having to open up
Treasuries all over the place get ready
your heart's desires are all going to
come to pass thanks for watching today
I'll see you back next time bye-bye
