elcome today to our online internet
around the world church service praise
God and my friends when we say around
the world that's literally what the Lord
is doing as this message is reaching
even the most remote parts of the world
to the glory and praise of the Lord
Jesus Christ now today let us go to the
Gospel of st. Luke and drop down to
chapter five and we're going to receive
the holy tithes and offerings first we
want to bring them into the storehouse
of the Lord and I want to put a couple
of scriptures into your heart so that
you are strong in faith for the
financial blessings that the Lord wants
to bring into your life praise God
Luke chapter five verse one so it was as
the multitude pressed about him to hear
the word of God that he stood by the
lake of Gannett Lake of knesset is and
is an older term for the same
identification of what we know as the
lake of galilee okay and saw two boats
standing by the lake but the fishermen
had gone from them and were washing
their boats now the jewish historian
named Josephus who was an excellent
writer and really was very accurate with
so many of his historical details that
he recorded around this time era he said
that on the sea of galilee it was common
to see right around 230 boats because he
counted them and there were a lot of
fishermen so jesus is there at a time at
a moment when there are two that are
available and saw two boats standing by
the lake so i don't want you to think
maybe there's only five or six
people fishing there's several hundred
people that were professional fishermen
they all had their boats and it was a
very well fished Lake but that Lake had
a lot of fish in it praise God the
fishermen had gone from them and were
washing their nets verse three then he
got into one of the boats which was
Simons and asked him to put out a little
from the land not not a long ways just a
little there's going to be a teaching
session and when you go to Israel on
tour you'll see the most likely site
where this took place from and the
Lord's voice would have gone across the
waters and would have carried up the
gentle sloping heel and it would have
been a natural amplifier of his voice
let me say this also in days past before
electricity and electronics it was very
common for the Holy Spirit to
supernaturally in power not only the
voice of a speaker of a man or woman of
God but also to supernaturally amplify
the voice to large large crowds it was
said of George Whitfield the great
English preacher who also came to
America that when he preached his voice
could be heard by a crowd outside of
30,000 people but here's what's amazing
it was also said that those in the very
back of the crowd could hear the voice
of Whitfield preaching with just as much
clarity as those on the front row Wow
and none less than Benjamin Franklin
himself tested that and listened to what
that a great evangelist preached and saw
the large crowds and he heard a front
and he also experimented by walking
towards the the vast distance of the
back and you know he couldn't quite
understand that but said you know the
voice
is coming through just just as clear
back here with no loudspeakers no
amplifiers so well there was natural
acoustics as we would call them there on
the Sea of Galilee I believe that in so
many meetings where Christ is lifted up
and any message conveying the goodness
of the Lord is lifting up then there is
an anointing upon that word so that even
if the sound system goes down just keep
right on preaching praise God and the
Holy Spirit will do things to call us
people to hear when the effort to preach
it is made now it says he sat down and
taught the multitudes from the boat so
he's not even standing up you know
sometimes you see him in these paintings
standing up towards the front of the
boat preaching no he's actually sitting
down and the multitudes all that they
are still hearing him with great clarity
verse 4 when he had stopped speaking he
said to Simon okay let's take a break
just for a moment he has finished the
preaching he has finished the
ministerial portion of his work that day
and he's now going to turn to a
different endeavor when he had stopped
speaking he said to Simon than remember
he's in Simon's boat he said to Simon
launch out into the deep and let down
your nets for a catch praise the Lord
but Simon answered and said to him
master we have toiled all night and
caught nothing
nevertheless at your word I will let
down the net and when they had done this
they caught a great number of fish and
their net was breaking so some of the
things are going against the natural way
that things work they knew that it
wasn't good to fish there in the Sea of
Galilee during the daytime because for
those of you that will visit Israel and
those of you that have been when you get
on the Galilean sea or the lake it's not
really a sea that's just a term they use
but it's a lake there's a lot of clarity
in the water and some days in the summer
when it's clear I mean you could see 20
or 30 feet down very very clearly well
that means the fish can see you too so
that's why Peter said we fished all
night so you fish at night so that the
fish can't see you throwing the Nets
over trying to catch them because they
are pretty smart so they nevertheless
obey the word of the Lord and it says
their net was breaking verse seven so
they signaled to their partners in the
other boat to come and help them
and they came and filled both the boats
so that they began to sing so both boats
are sinking incredible haul of fish now
as we're going to bring the tithes and
offerings into God's storehouse let me
share this whenever you allow Jesus to
freely use your resources such as your
boat even if it literally came down to
that like it did for Peter
whenever you allow Jesus to freely use
your resources for his evangelistic
purposes it qualifies you for net
breaking boat sinking types of blessing
mm-hmm please let that go way down into
your spirit today I want I want to say
it again
whenever you allow Jesus to freely use
your resources for his evangelistic
purposes the window lost to him that
qualifies you for net breaking boat
sinking types of blessing whoa glory to
God and that's what God has on his mind
for you praise the Lord all of those
boats but there's two that are that are
there on the on the beach and the Lord
needs to use one mm-hmm
look I need to let you know this it pays
to serve the Lord we don't serve the
Lord for pay we serve the Lord because
we love Him but Jesus is rewarding
Peter for Peter having said yes
you can use my boat because when you
read Luke chapter 4 you see Jesus going
into Simon's house and Simon's wife's
mother was sick with the high fever and
Jesus prays for her and she is healed
whew I mean he rebuked the fever and
that fever left her praise God mm-hmm
hallelujah well and technically it
doesn't mean I should say that he didn't
even really pray for her he had just
rebuked the fever and the thing took off
praise God
so Simon is warming up to Jesus but this
was the unveiling of who the Lord in a
sense really is this is the miracle
worker this is the great prophet that
Moses foretold of this is Jesus
operating in great signs and wonders and
he asked Peter if he could use his boat
and Peter said yes now I told you last
week that I've allowed the Lord to use
my pickup truck hallelujah and just last
week we hauled thousands and thousands
literally of pounds of landscaping
stones onto the property sometimes after
you haul them all and pull them all out
it doesn't look like that much you think
oh that's just a couple hundred pounds
well I I know that when they were
weighed and loaded and sat into the bed
of the truck the bed goes like this
because my truck has a load capacity of
2,000 pounds and it was it was as low as
it could go so it was maxed out and you
make multiple trips like that and you
know what is taking place there but the
Lord has always kept me in Nice vehicles
I have always made them available for
his use whoo praise the Lord and if
you'll make your resources really all
that's under your umbrella all that you
have whether it's your home or whatever
it would be then I'm telling you that
the Lord will bless you he will honor
you he will bless you
if you say Jesus you can't use my boat
you know Jesus Europe you're still a
little bit controversial and you know
there's rumors circulating that maybe
you're not the real deal and and so no
you need to go find somebody else then
you just missed a great blessing mm-hmm
praise God now Jesus is the head of the
church we are the body we're the hands
the arms the legs the feet the head
cannot do anything without the body okay
so when the Lord wants to do something
in the earth he has to work through the
body that's you and me and if you're
willing to say Lord all that I have
which you've given me anyhow I mean it
all came from you Lord but all that I
have which is under my control under my
authority so you can't do something with
somebody else's that's theirs so you
can't you can't tell them what to do
with theirs I know the government likes
to do that the government loves to spend
other people's money it's real Izzie
it's real easy to spend somebody else's
money and that's why there's such waste
because it's not theirs but when it's
yours you want to be a good steward over
it and you want to do a good job praise
God hallelujah now let me say this about
the government thank God for President
Trump he doesn't do that he is actually
a good steward why because in the
natural he's not even a politician he is
a businessman that became president so
he knows how to generate wealth and
create money and he has good principles
so he's not just doling it out for free
because he knows you can't create it
like that
so he's endeavoring to run our nation
our government from a platform that
makes fiscal sense praise God hallelujah
that's what we need that type of
leadership praise the Lord
now my friends if you will make your
resources available to the Lord there
are those times when the Lord has need
of you as need of your boat and as need
of your stove has need of your you know
whatever real barrel
is gone I was ministering once in Uganda
East Africa I was I went to three
churches a day all over the place just
running non-stop morning I would speak
at a certain church lunchtime travel
somewhere speak of a different church
evening a different church just did that
day after day after day and I lost 13
pounds and Kelly did too but we had a
wonderful time
amen running running and running for the
Lord now I went to speak at an orphanage
that was a it was a church orphanage and
out of all the places I spoke at and one
of them was a very large ministry had
seven or eight thousand members large
church but out of all the places I spoke
at the one that was the most beautiful
was the smaller church that was also an
orphanage and the property was just
beautiful and I asked the pastor I said
um how did you get such a beautiful
property this this must have cost a
fortune this is you know everything's so
beautiful around here
he said he basically said in essence
that the Lord had need of the
wheelbarrow see there was a lady in the
church who was sick and nobody would
take a take her to the hospital she was
an elderly lady and he said well the
Lord would take her but but you know the
Lord works through people you understand
that so he said Lord I've got to get her
to the hospital and the Lord said yes
you do and you know that there's divine
healing but not everybody has faith for
that so you have to you have to meet
them where their faith level is at so
her faith was for the doctors to do
their job that she would get better well
he still had to get her to the hospital
they didn't have a vehicle so he used
the only thing he had available which
was a wheel barrel he put her in the
wheelbarrow and pushed her from this
rural remote area through little dirt
pad
and pushed her all the way to the
hospital they got her to the hospital
and they got her the treatment that she
needed to stop the infection or whatever
it was and she recovered and she was
okay well she lived her life out the
remaining years and she died of
something else basically of old age and
the pastor didn't know it but this lady
had a large tract of land and when she
died she deeded it over to the pastor to
the church and they moved on to that
beautiful property and so it was through
it was through that will barrel delivery
praise God whether it's your truck your
wheelbarrow hallelujah your your
financial resources whatever it would be
you have to be willing to say Lord I'll
make it all available to you praise God
mmm-hmm thank you Jesus now when you do
that you tap into that anointing for the
Lord to release to you a net breaking
boat sinking type of blessing and it can
come back in many ways the harvest but
it'll come back in the way that you need
it praise God praise God so my friends I
just want to give you a hot tip because
I have been in fellowship with the Lord
and I sense that the Lord there's
there's going to be times when he
prompts your spirit and you may get it
like two or three times that prompting
and you're gonna know that's the Lord
that the Lord has need of that mmm-hmm
and it could be something that he has
need up from the perspective of he wants
you to sell it and take the money and
use it for the expansion of his kingdom
the preaching of the gospel but I'll
leave that up to the Holy Spirit there
will be times when the Holy Spirit has
need of your resources praise God praise
the Lord
hmm there's a blessing in obedience
because remember jesus said launch out
into the deep and let down your nets for
a catch what's he doing you saying hey
you've allowed me to use your boat I
want to be a blessing to you praise the
Lord praise the Lord hallelujah are you
ready well so many of you are so yielded
your hearts are open your hearts are
opened you would be the first one in
line to say Jesus please get into my
boat
Jesus please get into my car mmm
hallelujah praise the Lord praise the
Lord thank you Lord Jesus
praise God please be sensitive to the
Holy Spirit and these promptings of the
Spirit of God when the Lord has need of
something of your resources he's not
doing it to subtract or diminish from
you he's doing this to set you up to
release a net breaking boat sinking
blessing into your life praise God

name
alright now what I would like to do is I
would like to continue today's message
along the same theme and I want to give
you a golden key that will keep you
positioned through these very how can we
describe it to multiple times that we're
passing through right now
praise God perhaps in some ways the
tumult can calm down a little bit but
because we are so quickly nearing the
end of the age that we are currently in
any little reprieves we have will be
short-lived so we need to know this
golden key so that we stay on focus and
so that we stay in the blessing let me
share this what I am going to present to
you today this message is a message that
has come to me from having been in the
secret place there are many voices that
are speaking within the body of Christ
today some of them are very sincere but
they are tuned to a wavelength that is
influenced from the intellectual or the
mental realm and it's very important
that we walk close to God so that we are
aware of what's going on but that we are
more aware that we are in the center of
God's will and that we are walking in
the place of safety
blessing and protection some messages I
would even say some prophecies that
people give because they are coming not
from the heart of God they're coming
from the soulless realm it's causing the
believers to have fear and it's causing
them to have uncertainty when that
happens they pause and stop in the
progress that they're supposed to be
making on the pathway that God has for
them so we thank God for the counsel of
his word and the anointing of the holy
spirit to continue to stay on the path
that leads to victory and protection
praise God now look at this in verse 10
Luke 5 verse 10 father as we continue
now in your word we're asking that your
spirit would open the scriptures and the
eyes of our understanding can see them
and we can obey them that we will be
hearers and doers of the word and we
thank you for the great empowerment of
your spirit upon our lives irrespective
of what's shaking in the earth we thank
you that you have protection blessing
and safety for us in the name of Jesus
we all agree today and say amen praise
God
now Luke chapter 5 again verse 9 for he
and all who were with him were
astonished at the catch of fish which
they had taken and so also were James
and John the sons of Zebedee who were
partners with Simon and Jesus said to
Simon do not be afraid from now on you
will catch men praise the Lord
my friends I'm here today to enlist you
on a fishing expedition Pastor Steven I
don't like fish I don't eat fish I'm
talking not about fish I'm talking about
souls of men and when I say men I'm
talking about mankind
praise God Kelly my precious wife
doesn't like it when I eat sardines
she's not a fish person
she says Stephen if you're going to eat
sardines you go like you go you eat all
you want just eat them outside and after
you're done please brush your teeth and
use some mouthwash I say yes dear I will
and it's the grace and blessing of
marriage we get along well we have a
beautiful marriage but I understand that
if I'm going to eat my sardines I have
to eat them outside and enjoy them with
me and my cat Simon Peter who hopes one
falls to the ground so they can eat one
praise God now my friends I'm not
talking about fish I'm talking about
catching the souls of men and women and
pulling them out of the snare of the
devil and presenting the gospel to them
so that they could receive Christ as our
Lord and Savior so they can be born
again so their spirit can be recreated
and passed from that of being in a place
of spiritual death to be in a place of
spiritual life hallelujah and made ready
now for heaven that is our assignment do
not be afraid from now on you will catch
men any endeavor that you make to
consistently support the work of saving
souls of humanity from going into an
eternity into the lake of fire any
effort you make the support and be
involved in that it allows you to be
positioned to receive provision from the
Lord that will supernaturally sustain
you and you will never hear me ever run
dry
praise God others may who don't know the
Covenant others may who live in fear
others may who don't work the principles
of God's Word
others may who are only into their self
survival and their self-centeredness but
when you have a heart for the lost when
you have a heart for the lost God will
bless you God will keep you up and
running and you will have provision
always around you and you will be fresh
and quickened by the holy spirit can you
say yes and amen
praise God let us go today to the second
Psalm Psalm 2 verse 7 says I will
declare the decree the Lord has said to
me you're my son today I have begotten
you
ask of me and I will give you the
nation's for your inheritance at the
ends of the earth for your position
Pastor Steven what's on the heart of God
lost souls that don't know him people
that die every day and go to hell
and my friends if we will ask the Lord
and that's what I've been doing if we
will ask the Lord for the nation's for
our inheritance he will give them to us
praise God and inheritance when you go
to heaven you want to have an
inheritance while in a sense you go
taking nothing out of the earth with you
when you do get there
there can be rewards based upon the way
that you lived your life for the Lord
and if you did all that you could to
live a life pleasing to the Lord and
also you had a heart and a burden for
lost souls
there will be an inheritance waiting for
you there are other things as well that
qualify for an inheritance such as those
who develop the fruit of the Spirit and
those that walked in love those that
were you know just constant givers and
encouragers there's all types of ways to
gain inheritance but the most beautiful
inheritance are those who had the wisdom
to see let's save and reach the lost
because if they don't know Christ they
will perish and they will die in their
sins and we have had the privilege of
having heard the gospel and we're good
to go but billions have never heard and
can't sit back in complacency and say
well that's okay
you know we're saved and so it is what
it is no we have a mandate we have a
commissioning we have an authorization
from the Lord Most High who is the head
of the church who said go praise God and
nobody can override what the king of
kings has said now God will give us if
we ask him the nation's for our
inheritance and I've asked the Lord this
and I would like for you to be asking
along with this and this ministry as we
work together that we can throw the
harvest nets and I'm believing God that
we can reach a minimum of 1 million
souls you have to have a goal you have
to have something that you're going
after you have to have a path or else
you don't know where you're going you're
just gonna go left right here there but
we have a well-established vision and
goal that we want to bring in by the
grace of God and in great effort over 1
million souls to the Lord Jesus Christ
will you stand with us will you pray
with us praise God and will you also
enlist today as a Fisher of men
praise the Lord when you become a Fisher
of men and you make your resources your
talents your brain your mind your
anointing your gifting available for
Jesus to work through for evangelistic
purposes you position yourself for
unprecedented levels of prosperity where
you're overloaded to the point you have
to start distributing out because your
boat is literally beginning to sink
praise God
hmm and that's what we're coming into
that's what we're coming into the Lord
is good praise the Lord the Lord is
going to visit some very wicked heathens
I call him heathens they they revel and
celebrate in iniquity and then doing
wrong but the Lord is going to visit
many of these people by his Spirit
they're going to be convicted and
they're going to be saved and they're
going to release provision into the work
of the Lord and it will be steward it
properly and great strides will be made
in the gospel work I speak that and I
say that because don't discount the
power and the ability of the Lord to
reach the unreachable to reach those
that good people would say oh they're
too far gone don't even pray for them no
no there's there's many that would seem
out of reach but God says I have a plan
for them and I'm gonna do all I can to
reach them and there will be those that
respond and say yes praise God
hallelujah ask of me and I will give you
the nation's for your inheritance and
the ends of the earth for your
possession the ends of the earth of the
most remote places over most remote
places we want to reach them let me say
this we have stepped out by faith and we
are moving further into television than
we ever have before and every week we
are speaking to a potential listening
and viewing audience of over 1.1 billion
people praise God we are receiving
emails from all over the world literally
all over the world and my friends as you
support this work the inheritance of
souls we all share in the rewards
together I can't do it all on my own
praise God I need your help I need your
support
and together we're gonna fish we're
gonna fish like crazy because let me
tell you there fish that are biting
there are fish that are biting and the
amazing thing about television is that
there are there are hundreds of millions
of people that do not have internet oh I
know that so many of you watch from
America particularly as you're watching
these messages on the internet and you
think oh everybody's got Internet
everybody's got fast download fast
upload speeds no they don't
there are hundreds and millions of
people that don't have internet don't
have a computer we're privileged to have
that but let me tell you this they may
not have internet they may not see us on
YouTube or on the other platforms of
Facebook and livestream and the other
platforms that we use but they they've
got these little bitty satellite dishes
and they've got a TV
they sure do and they're watching the
pure gold program and they were hearing
the gospel preached to them so in many
ways television in many ways while it
covers a lot of people the majority I
would have to say are poor they're what
we would call poor in the sense where
they don't have many of the things that
those in the Western world would have
available concerning certain types of
technology or certain levels of income
and so I'm telling you when we do TV and
we're we're throwing big big Nets praise
God and we've only just begun we've only
just begun I want us to reach the most
remote parts of the world I want us to
be broadcasting messages like this over
every single continent praise God and
over every nation and if we have to get
them over the islands there are
satellites that reach over the islands
praise God hallelujah so we have begun
the journey we begun the journey and
you've begun it with me and my friends
God wants you to have a reward God wants
you to have an inheritance and when your
heart is tied in with his heart which is
reaching the Lost
whoa hallelujah mm-hmm you'll always be
catching fish when you catch when you're
helping to catch the fish the souls of
men and women you'll always have the
provision of fish you'll always have the
provision of the bread and the fish the
provision that you need and the overflow
will always be in your house you'll
never ever run dry ever praise God God's
gonna multiply food on your table he'll
do it yes he will praise God
let's really begin to cry out for the
Lord hallelujah for the harvest of souls
because when you look at the biblical
feast of Israel the seven primary feast
and then you look at the three key feast
that all of the Israelite all of the
Israelites were required to go through
Jerusalem for the three primary feast
you had Passover Pentecost and then
Tabernacles the Feast of Tabernacles is
actually called the ingathering it's the
great in gathering and it's the endtime
feast and it represents the great global
harvest of souls that we're going to
pull in praise God hallelujah
so my friends the work of the last state
church will be a work of great glory
Jesus poured out the best wine last the
last date church will participate in the
best wine
the mighty anointing the mighty miracles
and the completion of the Great
Commission we are doing all that we can
and we're doing it together praise the
Lord
proverbs chapter 11 verse 30 the fruit
of the righteous is a tree of life and
he who wins souls that you is wise whoa
if you're not interested in soul-winning
you're not walking in the full counsel
of the wisdom of God
hmm he who wins Souls is wise it shows
that you are aware that there is life
beyond this life that there is an
eternity whoo hallelujah and while
you're enjoying this life you are
positioning yourself for a place of
status and blessing and honor when you
go home to be with the Lord and you'll
see the Lord say to you well done good
and faithful servant entering into the
joy of the Lord whoa
you worked hard for me you laid your
life down for me mmm you made your
resources available to me and because of
that we've got some reward for you don't
be looking for me in heaven in a
doghouse mm-hmm Pastor Steven Brooks
won't be living in no doghouse praise
God hallelujah the only ones living in
the dog houses are the dogs whoo
hallelujah whoo hallelujah and
technically I've never seen any dog
houses in heaven but don't look for me
in a shack mmm hallelujah and my friends
your position positioning yourself
whoa for great reward mmm why he who
wins Souls is wise and you have enough
wisdom to know that there is a tomorrow
after this tomorrow there is an eternal
day that we will step into and we must
lay it all on the line while we're here
yes we're going to enjoy life we're
gonna enjoy the blessings of the Lord
but we're gonna stay tied into the main
focus which is reaching the lost thank
you Jesus all right now this next verse
makes me a little bit surprising to some
of you but we need to take a look at it
because it's gonna speak to the hearts
of quite a few of you get ready Psalm 68
please go directly to verse 11 the Lord
gave the word well this is a very
interesting Psalm and many theologians
and Bible commentators
looked at this verse and they've asked
the question well what word did he give
well I would say this he's always giving
a word so this would be the preceding
word and anytime that word proceeds we
pick up on it and we declare it to okay
so when we go into a new year and we
hear what the Lord is saying the theme
or the focus for that year we hear that
preceding word coming out of the mouth
of God and we grab it and we begin to
proclaim it and publish it all over
praise God so it's any word that the
Lord would proclaim the Lord gave the
word great was the company of those who
proclaimed it great great great how
would you like to be known in heaven as
great then get involved in proclaiming
the gospel message praise God
great was the company of those who
proclaimed it praise God we are going to
proclaim this message to all the world
preaching it north south east and west
praise God and you will be in that
category of greatness because you are on
the front lines of reaching the Lost for
Christ there's there's think of it
there's men and women boys and girls
sitting in places today in total
spiritual darkness and they know nothing
of God nothing nothing about God at all
and Jesus said go make disciples of all
nations and my friends that's what we're
going to do Oh pastor Steven we can't go
right now we can't do anything the whole
world is shut down no no Jesus didn't
say lay off and stop because this is
going on or that's going on or that's
going on news alert you're gonna have
things continue continue oh they'll be
the times when you have like a reprieve
like I said earlier
you have some stability but then the
enemy will throw another thing and
that'll work stuff up but here's the
thing keep going with the gospel keep
going with the gospel and you know what
you'll find out that you just keep going
that you keep going that you're staying
in that Lane and you're you just keep on
going oh yeah you're aware of all the
stuff that's out there the you know the
things that flare out the things that
the enemy tries to do to distract well
you just sit down and you wring your
hands and say oh oh oh no no no don't do
that stay on task go into all the world
and preach the gospel
why because somebody are lost so many
are lost mm-hmm we have got to stay on
task and in order to do that God has to
cause provision to be flowing God has to
cause health and your body so that you
can stay on the job God has to bless you
bless you why because you're the one
allowing him to use your boat you're the
one allowing him to use your finances
you are the one allowing him the user
strength and your gifting hallelu he's
got to keep you up and long as you stay
on task
he'll keep you up regardless whoever
else is going down because you're coming
that man you're a covenant woman mm-hmm
and the Covenant prevails over every
negative circumstance in the earth
praise the Lord praise the Lord the Lord
gave the word great was the company the
company what an interesting word my
goodness the word company in the Hebrew
is actually in the feminine gender would
you like the literal translation of
Psalm 68 verse 11 here it is large great
lust a number of women who published the
glad tidings that's the literal
translation for you right there
whoo praise God hallelujah when you go
through the Gospel of Luke chapter 8
verse 3 you see three
of the key primary donors who supported
the evangelistic ministry of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth who are they pastor
Stephen was it john d rockefeller was it
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett no Mary
Margaret Johanna Susanna what pastor
Stephen that sounds like a bunch of
women yep praise the Lord hallelujah
glory to God women on the front lines
praise God oh yes men also men all men
don't think you're exempt pastor Steve
I'm gonna let the women do all the work
no rise up and be a man
be who God called you to be be the
blessing that God called you to be be
the POE ass that God called you to be
Boaz was a mighty man of wealth praise
the Lord I was in London last year and I
taught about Boaz how God can turn you
to a bow as a great person of financial
strength to contribute to God's work and
after the message a lady came up to me
she was actually driving us around in
her boat hallelujah
her Land Rover okay see make your
resources and assets available to the
Lord okay now she didn't literally have
a boat
she had a vehicle she had a beautiful
land Land Rover she's driving me and my
wife from the hotel to the speaking
place there at the convention center and
back and forth the next cedra and she's
very nice lady very nice lady after I
taught the message on Boaz she said to
me she said pastor Stephen God has made
me a female Boaz
she said I have my own business I
thought well I don't know why I thought
this I think it was because she was so
humble I thought well maybe she has five
you know two or five people that worked
for her she said pastor Stephen she said
I have 500 employees
I said well
the law whoo hallelujah the Lord
certainly has made you a female Boaz and
she was a great contributor to the man
of God that the Lord had called her to
stand behind and support thank you Jesus
the Lord gave the word the Lord gave the
word now he can give the word but you
have to have people that can proclaim
that word and it takes provision to
amplify that word globally large great
was the number of women who published
the glad tidings hallelujah thank you
Lord Jesus now if your lady say Lord get
me into that category say Lord whatever
it takes get me into that category I
want to be on the front lines of
soul-winning praise God praise God see
it says in Luke chapter 8 verse 3 and 4
that Mary Joanna
and Susanna and many others contributed
to him out of this out of the resources
whoo praise the Lord and many others
hallelujah three people aren't carrying
the whole load but there were three key
contributors praise God look all I'm
saying if you'll allow who you are and
what you have to be at the Lord's
disposal then he will start flowing
through you and he'll increase he'll
increase you he'll increase you for his
kingdom cause but if you're all into
yourself and you're just hoarding it up
for yourself and you could care less if
people die and go to hell then what kind
of inheritance are you going to have
even if you're saved
what kind of inheritance are you gonna
have when you get to heaven thank you
Jesus praise the Lord
Matthew chapter 17 Matthew chapter 17
whoa ladies say just say just cry out to
God right now say Jesus get me on the
front lines hallelujah
help me the support and help me to
proclaim the gospel praise the Lord
and that doesn't necessarily mean that
God wants to make you into a preacher or
prophetess but it does mean that God can
make you into a female Boaz where you
are prospering in a sense where you're
like lord I can pour into your kingdom
hallelujah and I can put this money into
the gospel and pastor Stephen can send
that gospel around the world
praise God mmm thank you Jesus
who praised the Lord Matthew chapter 17
let's go to verse 24 we seem to be on a
little bit of a fishing theme today
now when they had come to Capernaum
those who received the temple tax came
to Peter and said does your teacher not
pay the temple tax he said yes and when
he had come into the house
Jesus anticipated him saying what do you
think Simon from whom to you from whom
to the kings of the earth take customs
or taxes from their sons or from
strangers Peter said to him from
strangers jesus said to him then the
sons are free well that's a little bit
of a different teaching you have to
understand that Israel was not liberated
there they are under the Dominion of a
foreign nation who has conquered them
and basically is conquered at that time
the much of what we know today is the
Middle East and that was the Roman
Empire and the Jews of course didn't
like it because Rome is trying to force
upon them their pagan ideologies of you
know the worship of you know a whole
plethora of gods and all kinds of you
know crazy stuff and you know the Romans
were influenced by the Greeks and the
Greeks were just hey the whole system of
gods you know Mount Olympus and all the
gods and you know Zeus Hercules and on
and on it goes and the Romans were just
you know real lovers of Greek culture
and so they're trying to throw all of
that stuff on to the Jews and forced
them to adapt to that and the
Jews particularly the ones that wore
holding to the truth of the word of God
greatly resented it so they were strife
tension
Fighting's skirmishes and you know just
stuff like that going on all the time so
they were having that they were the
Jewish people were being taxed
unlawfully by the Romans nevertheless
verse 27 nevertheless lest we offend
them see God's got plenty of provision
just go ahead and cover it you know
there's no need for us getting into a
legal tie up or a mess like that look
let's just understand that some things
are not going to be the way we want them
until Jesus comes and rules and reigns
as the Millennial King
reigning from Jerusalem favorite will
rule and reign over Israel the Twelve
Apostles will rail a rule and reign over
the twelve tribes and Christ will rule
and reign over the whole planet
praise God amen nevertheless lest we
offend them go to the sea cast in a hook
and take the fish that comes up first
now by this time Peter the professional
fisherman has already seen so many
miracles and has already seen has
already seen displays of the wisdom of
God that are so remarkable that he's
he's not arguing anymore of a stuff like
this this goes against what we would
call natural understanding but he knows
this is Jesus just doing his thing
because Jesus has received a word of
wisdom from the Holy Spirit so Peters
gonna walk it out okay now go to the sea
Caston hook and take the fish that comes
up first and when you have opened its
mouth you will find a piece of money
take that and give it to them for me and
you whoo hallelujah woohoo glory to God
did you catch that Jesus just paid
Peters tax bill I mean this is not even
about Peter this is about the Lord and
the Lord's taxes
and Jesus just paid Peters tax bill God
can help you pay yours too if you have
unpaid debts that can help you get those
paid praise to Lord but you have to
follow the instructions of the master
and when you have opened this mouth you
will find a piece of money take fat
watch this you must follow instructions
of God to the tee take that and give it
to them for me and you pay mine first
and then go page Google pay yours theirs
look there's enough for both of us
but don't go pay yours first pay mine
first Kingdom first God first God's work
first God's heart first soul-winning
first praise God hallelujah and then
you'll be blessed pastor Steve and I'm
taking care of myself first and if
there's anything left over which usually
there's not I'll give it to the Lord
that's why there's usually not anything
left over it's all flipped around
backwards Jesus says when you get that
coin to go pay the tax bill me and then
you mmm whoa praise God praise the Lord
do you see the kingdom directive that
when you are really focusing on the
priority where God puts the priority
these other areas begin to smooth out
they begin to get peaceful and you begin
to have relief and victory
praise God thank you Lord Jesus you have
to put the Lord first you need to always
honor the Lord with the tithe because
the tithe already belongs to God the ten
percent the tide this is he established
that it keeps the ministry running
smoothly it worked through for the
priesthood flawlessly under the Old
Covenant and in the New Covenant with
the Ministry of the Apostle prophet
evangelist
pastor teacher when the tithe comes into
the storehouse of the ministry that God
has connected you to and allows that
ministry and allows that work to operate
very very smoothly under the Old
Covenant when people stopped tithing the
priests had to abandon the temple and
the sacrifices and the moment that
happens that means there's no
forgiveness of your sins because you've
gotten away from the sacrificial system
and the priests had to just go out and
start farming and doing their own
agricultural stuff because it all broke
down whenever there is revival the tithe
the first thing hearts are turned back
to God and the tithe starts coming back
in pastor David I'm experiencing revival
well then we should see some tides
showing up praise God does anytime under
the Old Covenant you saw hearts coming
back to the Lord the tithe starts coming
in again and thus the priesthood is
restored and now the sacrifices are back
now the ministry or the Old Covenant
priestly system is working smoothly now
we can have our you know they have
atonement and you know all of our sins
roll back for the next year and stuff
like that well Christ has fully atoned
for all of our sins for all time for
whoever puts their faith and trust in
him and receives him as Lord and Savior
and the tithe carries into the New
Covenant not as a letter of the law do
this or you get you know but as a
covenant principle that ties you into an
open heaven mm-hmm and when you honor
the Lord and give him the tithe which
already belongs to him when you bring it
into the storehouse then the ministry
runs smoothly and when you sow seed and
give offerings now God can multiply and
bless the offerings and bring a harvest
into your life so you have open heavens
and you have harvest flowing into your
life put the Lord first put the Lord
first take care of Jesus to make sure
Jesus has his tax bill paid Oh pastor
Stephen God can take care of himself he
can he can but you'll miss out on the
blessing if you don't participate
hmm whoo hallelujah hallelujah glory
glory oh I'll get it done
I mean if God's gotta fly bread and hot
dogs into Elijah to keep him going God
will keep this man going if God has to
do a miracle God will keep it going but
when you have privilege and opportunity
to participate in the kingdom work
that's where you'll see the greatest
returns and dividends on harvest in your
life praise the Lord
1st Kings chapter 17 one more story
first Kings chapter 17 verse 12 so she
said as the Lord your God lives I do not
have bread only a handful of flour in a
bin and a little oil in a jar and see
I'm gathering a couple of sticks that I
may go in and prepare it for myself and
my son that we may eat it and die and
Ally just said to her do not fear why
would he say that he could probably see
it on her he could sense fear she's
reacting in fear here's an indicator of
fear you begin to pull back you begin to
start thinking about me myself and I
just me and my family not the world go
to hell well you've got to you know
we've got to do what we need to do and
there was a place yes where you need to
make sure your bases are covered but but
stay on assignment don't ever pull back
from preaching the gospel and being
involved in that through your tithes
your offerings and your giving because I
want to tell you something right now it
doesn't matter how many people apply for
unemployment and we don't want to see
that but just should things like that
happen and should things of economic
shakings
reverberate let me tell you this God is
able
to lift you up regardless of what's
going on out there in the world God is
able to bless you and he is able to
empower you where you will make more
money this year than you've ever made in
any other year of your life God is able
to do that if you honor him put him
first be involved in the kingdom work
you you you'll be more prosperous but
than you've ever been before
mm-hmm thank you Jesus hallelujah praise
God hallelujah doesn't matter the fish
are biting her to not none of that stuff
matters with God he's not limited like
the world is he's not limited he's able
to bless you is able to override that it
doesn't matter if it's daytime we're not
supposed to go out fishing your days I
know that matters to the Lord doesn't
matter to God he can bless you if you'll
just work with him he'll bless you net
breaking boats sinking type blessings Oh
glory to God regardless of whether the
Fisher body or not that has no relevance
to him he's God he can bless you you
work his his principles put him first
he'll keep on blessing you and you'll
keep going up and now you will be a sign
in a wonder to those around you you will
be a sign and the wonders of those that
are around you mmm praise God praise the
Lord we are continuing first Kings
chapter 17 verse 13 and Elisha said to
her do not fear go and do as you have
said but make me a small cake from it
first mmm if she would have put if she
would have made any changes to that
instruction that had been her last meal
God would have still done something for
the Prophet and would have taken care of
him
but God's warning to work through this
woman to be a blessing to the work of
the Lord in other words to the man of
God because he is the he is the
proclaimer of the gospel and a very
hostile time with famine
and hardships and difficulties but God
had a plan for that lady to take care of
her and even take care of her with great
provision but she's gonna have to put
God first and stay on assignment put the
work of God first and in this situation
it meant take care of that man of God
because he is doing that work
praise the Lord make me a small cake
from it first and bring it to me and
afterward make some for yourself and
your son now you can only imagine if the
ungodly newspapers would have caught
word of that you understand that if
they're not in Christ they're
spiritually dead and they have the look
if you're lost and you don't know Jesus
the spirit that you have is the spirit
that rules over the world and that would
be under Satan those that belong to God
they have a different spirit we have the
Spirit of God that is leading us guiding
us directing us and most importantly
living on the inside of us but anybody
that's not saved even if even if it's
your relatives if they are not saved
they are spiritually dead within their
spirit and they belong to the master of
that world and that would be Satan and
they are they are under his influence
and his control praise the Lord
so God's ways are very very different I
don't expect the world to understand the
principle of put God first they have no
clue they have no knowledge of that they
have no knowledge of that I don't expect
him to so yes there would criticize yes
they would make fun of that but you know
what she's she's she's she's living and
she's going to get a miracle while the
critics are biting the dust left and
right mmm thank you Jesus for thus says
the Lord God of Israel the been a flower
shall not be used up nor shall the jar
of oil run dry until the day of the Lord
until the day the Lord sends rain on the
earth
so she went away and did according to
the word of Elijah and she and her
household ate for many days hallelujah
she put the work of God first she
honored the man of God who was the
messenger of the Lord proclaiming at
that time the voice of God the Word of
God and my friends when you do it today
and you put God first even if you're
down to your last meal and you say Lord
I'm gonna put you first all you're never
gonna run dry
you're never gonna run out praise God
God's got more than enough for you
hallelujah whoo hallelujah
there's no recession in heaven there's
no angels in a picket line
there's no union strikes in heaven
everybody's happy everybody's blessed
God is over all and there is more than
enough and the great Jehovah Jireh God
is able to bless you and meet all of
your needs regardless of what's taking
place in the earth s we're aware that
there are great difficulties but God
still on the throne
letting be on the throne of your heart
and always putting first be involved
right now with us as we were reaching
the nations with the gospel of Jesus
Christ this is not the time to pull back
this is the time to honor the Lord more
than you have with your heart and your
resources and your abilities to move the
message forward and further praise God
and when you do that you'll never ever
run dry
praise God one more verse today one more
verse let's go back to Psalms and this
would be Psalm 121 Psalm 121 thank you

whether it's a bullet or an arrow or you
know a brick or verbal assault or
whatever it might be I'm telling you God
can protect you God can give you wisdom

divine protection and you believe it you

going the Lord shall preserve you from
all evil he shall preserve your soul so
