MY GUEST, GARY KEESEE, YOU
LOOK LIKE A NICE GUY,
HOW COULD YOU MANAGE TO
GET YOURSELF INTO A
HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS
WORTH OF DEBT?
IT’S NOT HARD TO DO.
IT TOOK NO TALENT?
NO, I ALL IT
TOOK WAS PLASTIC?
IT JUST TAKES A
SIGNATURE HERE AND THERE,
AND YOU GET THERE PRETTY
FAST.
NOW, LET’S BACKTRACK
A LITTLE BIT,
YOU DIDN’T DO TOO WELL IN
SCHOOL,
IN FACT YOU ALMOST FLUNKED
OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.
I HAD AN ATTITUDE
PROBLEM;
I WOULD TURN THE TEST BACK
IN TO THE TEACHER,
WHEN THEY BROUGHT THE TEST
TO ME I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT I DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE
IT AND I GRADUATED AT THE
BOTTOM OF MY CLASS, HAD A
1.3 AVERAGE IN HIGH
SCHOOL, HAD NO VISION FOR
MY LIFE,
SO I HAD SOME PROBLEMS.
YOU KNOW YOU BROUGHT
SOMETHING UP THAT IS KIND
OF INTERESTING TO ME, MOST
PEOPLE ARE IN A SURVIVAL
MODE, I MEAN WE ARE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN
ABUNDANCE, AN ABUNDANT
LIFE,
THAT’S WHAT WE ARE
PROMISED IN THE BIBLE AND
YET WE ARE IN A “CATCH UP”
MODE,
AND WHAT YOU POINT OUT IS,
WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN THIS
SURVIVAL MODE THEY CAN’T
EVEN THINK OF VISIONING
AND EXPANSION, AND
EXCITEMENT,
AND FULLNESS.
NO, YOU KNOW THE
WORD PROVISION,
I WOULD SAY PROVISION IS
REQUIRED FOR VISION,
YOU THINK OF THE WORD
PROVISION,
“PRO-VISION” IS PROVISION,
WITHOUT PROVISION,
WITHOUT SUBSTANCE, WITHOUT
WHAT YOU HAVE NEED OF,
YOUR NUMBER ONE GOAL TODAY
IS TO FIND IT AND THAT’S
WHAT JESUS SAID WHEN HE
SAID THAT THE UNBELIEVER,
OR THOSE WITHOUT COVENANT
HAVE TO RUN AFTER THE
THINGS OF LIFE EVERYDAY,
IT BECOMES THEIR NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY, AND THAT’S
HOW I STARTED OUT,
I WAS ON COMMISSION SALES
AND BOY EVERY DAY IF I WAS
WITH A CLIENT, OR IF I WAS
LAYING ALONE IN MY BED AT
NIGHT ALL I THOUGHT ABOUT
WAS WHERE IS THAT NEXT
CHECK GOING TO COME FROM.
IT’S THAT SURVIVAL
MENTALITY.
THAT’S ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
BY THE WAY YOU ALMOST
FLUNK OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL,
YOU THEN GET ENROLLED IN
ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY,
WHY IN THE WORLD DID THEY
TAKE YOU?
WELL I WAS, I HAD AN
EXPERIENCE WITH THE LORD
AND I WENT TO A SMALL
BIBLE SCHOOL FOR ABOUT SIX
MONTHS AND GOT STRAIGHT
“A’S” AND WHEN THE LORD
TOLD ME TO GO TO ORU, THEY
CALLED ME AND SAID,
“WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?”
AND I GOT TO EXPLAIN HOW I
HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THEY
SAID,
“WE WANT YOU HERE.”
AND THAT’S HOW I GOT
THERE.
YOU KNOW IN THE
NATURAL THINGS SEEM
IMPOSSIBLE BUT THERE
REALLY IS A VISION THAT
GOD HAS FOR YOUR LIFE, AND
YOU ARE SPECIAL,
AND THERE IS A PURPOSE,
AND STOP LISTENING TO
THOSE LIES.
AND YES, YOU CAN GET OFF
THE TREADMILL,
GARY DID.
LET ME ASK YOU, A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DEBT,
HOW IS THIS AFFECTING YOUR
HEALTH?
WE WERE OVER A
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN DEBT.
AS A FATHER I WASN’T DOING
VERY WELL,
AS A HUSBAND I WASN’T
DOING VERY WELL,
AS A PERSON I WASN’T DOING
VERY WELL,
BECAUSE THIS FEAR, THIS
ANXIOUSNESS,
WAS BEGINNING TO DESTROY
ME,
IN FACT IT GOT SO BAD THAT
I BEGAN TO HAVE PANIC
ATTACKS, IN FACT ONE DAY I
WOKE UP,
I WAS COMPLETELY
PARALYZED,
ALL MY LIMBS WERE
PARALYZED,
MY FACE WAS PARALYZED, MY
TONGUE WAS PARALYZED,
AND AT THAT POINT I KNEW
THAT I WAS IN TROUBLE.
THAT’S A PRETTY SCARY
THING,
YOU MUST HAVE REALLY BEEN
AFRAID WHEN THAT HAPPENED,
YOU WERE AFRAID BEFORE IT
HAPPENED,
SO WHAT HAPPENED AFTER?
I WAS VERY MUCH
AFRAID,
BUT THE THING WAS, I WAS A
CHRISTIAN ALL THAT TIME,
I WORSHIPPED IN MY CHURCH,
BUT THERE WEREN’T ANSWERS
FOR ME, I COULDN’T FIGURE
OUT HOW TO GET THIS
PROVISION THING WORKING.
YOU KNOW JESUS SAID YOU
CAN’T SERVE TWO MASTERS;
YOU ARE GOING TO SERVE THE
MASTER WHO MEETS YOUR
NEEDS, PERIOD.
AND THAT’S, YOU KNOW YOU
MIGHT SAY SOMETHING ELSE,
BUT WHEN IT COMES DECISION
TIME,
YOU ARE GOING TO FOLLOW
THE MASTER YOU BELIEVE
MEETS YOUR NEEDS, AND IN
THE CHURCH I WASN’T SEEING
THE ANSWERS IN THE AREA OF
FINANCES.
YOU KNOW I WENT TO CHURCH,
BUT I WAS KIND OF LEFT
ALONE, I HAD MY SUNDAY
HAT,
AND I HAD MY WEEKLY HAT.
WE KNOW ALL ABOUT
THAT HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS
IN DEBT, BUT DIDN’T YOU GO
TO A DOCTOR,
WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY
ABOUT YOUR CONDITION?
THEY COULDN’T FIND
ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME.
SO THEY MUST HAVE
SAID MENTAL.
WELL, THEY PUT ME ON
DRUGS;
THEY TRIED TO PUT ME ON
DRUGS.
SO YOU TRADED ONE
GROUP OF SYMPTOMS FOR
ANOTHER GROUP OF SYMPTOMS.
I HAD REACTIONS TO
THE DRUGS,
THERE WAS TIMES THEY
CARRIED ME OUT OF CHURCH
WHERE I COULDN’T EVEN MOVE
AT ALL,
I WAS PARALYZED AND THE
DOCTORS COULDN’T FIND
ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME AND
IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT I
REALIZED I HAD TO GO TO
THE LORD WITH THOSE
QUESTIONS AND BEGIN TO ASK
HIM ABOUT THE QUESTIONS I
HAD ABOUT LIFE.
YOU ENDED UP AT A
BENNY HINN MEETING,
WHY DID YOU GO?
YEAH, WELL OF COURSE
BENNY HINN IS KNOW FOR
HEALING, AND IT WAS AT
ORU,
THE CONFERENCE WAS AT ORU,
MY SCHOOL I HAD GONE TO,
SO WE WENT, AND AS I SAT
THERE IN THE AUDIENCE THE
ANOINTING OF GOD CAME OVER
ME,
AND I WENT UP FRONT, AND
THERE,
YOU KNOW, THEY USUALLY SAY
THIS GENTLEMAN HAD THIS
DISEASE, THIS PERSON HAS
THIS PROBLEM,
BENNY DIDN’T SAY THAT, HE
LOOKED ME RIGHT IN THE EYE
AND SAID, “WHO ARE YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO
DO?”
AND I THOUGHT THAT’S
STRANGE,
BUT IT HAD A LOT TO DO
WITH MY DESTINY,
ABOUT MY CALL.
HE HAD A INSIGHT, BUT
WHAT ABOUT YOUR,
I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, HOLD
THAT THOUGHT,
WE’LL FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO THIS THING
THAT WAS TOTALLY, I MEAN
HE COULDN’T FUNCTION AT
ALL PHYSICALLY, IN THAT
DECK, [MUSIC♪]
IMAGINE WHAT STRAIN WAS
GOING ON IN HIS MARRIAGE,
BUT THERE WAS A
SUPERNATURAL ANSWER.
DON’T GO AWAY, WE’LL BE
RIGHT BACK.
[MUSIC♪]
WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK TO,
“IT’S SUPERNATURAL.”
[MUSCI♪] WE NOW RETURN TO, “IT’S
SUPERNATURAL.”
HELLO, SID ROTH HERE
WITH GARY KEESEE.
HELL ON EARTH, IS THAT A
GOOD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT
YOUR LIFE WAS LIKE?
THAT’S PUTTING IT
BLUNTLY,
YES THAT’S EXACTLY HOW IT
WAS.
OKAY, SO YOU GO TO
THIS BENNY HINN,
HE PUTS HIS HANDS ON YOU,
HE DOESN’T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT YOUR SICKNESS, THAT
IS REALLY CAUSING,
IN ADDITION TO THE DEBT,
THE SICKNESS,
YOU CAN’T EVEN WORK I
IMAGINE.
NO, I WAS PARALYZED
WITH FEAR PANIC ATTACKS.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT FEAR
IS TORMENT,
AND IT WAS TORMENT.
AND SO THE ANOINTING OF
GOD CAME SO STRONG ON ME
THAT I FELL UNDER THE
POWER OF GOD,
THEY CARRIED ME OFF THE
PLATFORM,
LAID ME ACROSS A COUPLE OF
CHAIRS,
MY WIFE CAME UP, AND LAID
HER HAND ON ME,
THE POWER OF GOD WAS SO
STRONG SHE FELL OUT IN THE
SPIRIT, FELL OVER, AND I
THOUGHT SURELY THIS
ANOINTING SO STRONG, I’M
HEALED,
BUT I GOT UP A HALF HOUR
LATER AND THE SYMPTOMS,
I COULD STILL FEEL THE
SYMPTOMS WHICH CONFUSED
ME.
NOT ONLY CONFUSE YOU,
YOU PROBABLY,
IF YOU WERE LOW, YOU WENT
A LITTLE LOWER.
WELL, I DIDN’T
REALLY KNOW HOW FAITH
OPERATED OR THE KINGDOM
OPERATED YET,
SO I WENT TO BED THAT
NIGHT,
THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS ALL
AROUND ME,
AND IN THE NIGHT I HAD A
DREAM AND IN THE DREAM WAS
THE VERSE GIVEN TO ME,
MARK 11:24,
THEREFORE YOU PRAY BELIEVE
YOU RECEIVE AND YOU SHALL
HAVE IT, I DIDN’T KNOW
WHERE IT WAS AT,
I ASKED MY WIFE, I SAID,
THESE WORDS CAME TO ME IN
A DREAM, DO THEY MEAN
ANYTHING TO YOU?
AND ALTHOUGH I WAS A
CHRISTIAN AND IN CHURCH,
I COULDN’T QUITE PLACE
THEM,
AND MY WIFE SAID, “GARY,
THAT’S MARK 11:24,
THEN I GOT IT.
SEE I WAS BELIEVING GOD TO
HEAL ME AND EVERY TIME I
WOULD BELIEVE THE WORD I
WOULD TRY TO CHECK MYSELF,
YOU KNOW, AM I HEALED?
AND THE LORD WAS TELLING
ME,
NO, YOU ARE HEALED BY
FAITH AS I SAID YOU ARE
HEALED, NOT BECAUSE THE
SYMPTOMS ARE THERE OR NOT
THERE.
AND WHEN I GOT THAT, WHEN
I FIGURED IT OUT,
THAT’S WHAT THE DREAM WAS
TELLING ME,
I KNEW THAT I WAS HEALED
AT THAT MOMENT.
EVEN THOUGH THE
SYMPTOMS WERE STILL THERE?
THE SYMPTOMS WERE
STILL THERE,
BUT WHEN I GOT THAT
REVELATION IN MY SPIRIT,
I IGNORED THEM AND I
THANKED GOD THAT I WAS
HEALED, AND I JUST PUT MY
FAITH IN THE WORD OF GOD
AND JUST SAID I’M HEALED,
THE BIBLE SAYS I’M HEALED
AND I’M HEALED.
NOW, IF YOU HAD JUST
READ THAT IN A BIBLE AND
YOU DIDN’T HAVE A DREAM
COULD YOU HAVE BEEN AS
HEALED?
ABSOLUTELY, THE
SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD HAVE
BROUGHT LIFE TO IT, BUT
FOR ME AT THAT POINT IN
TIME THE LORD HELPED ME WHEN I E
TO ME,
IF I EVER ATE SUGAR,
ANYTHING WITH SUGAR, IT
WOULD THROW ME ALMOST INTO
A COMA, MY BODY WOULD
JUST,
IT WAS SO OUT OF WHACK
WITH SUGAR,
AND MY WHOLE METABOLISM,
THERE WAS A ROOT BEER
STAND ON THE STREET WE HAD
GONE TO WHEN I WAS IN
COLLEGE IN TULSA, SO I
TOLD MY WIFE,
I SAID WE’RE GOING DOWN TO
THAT ROOT BEER STAND AND
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE US
SOME ROOT BEER.
AND WE WENT DOWN THERE
WAIT A SECOND,
HOW DID YOUR WIFE REACT TO
THAT?
WELL, SHE WAS
CHEERING ME ON,
SHE WAS SAYING SHE
KNEW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO
YOU, YOU KNEW WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN TO YOU,
BUT YOU WERE SO SURE THAT
THE BIBLE WAS TRUE
THAT’S RIGHT, AND SHE WAS
AGREEING WITH ME,
SHE SAID I AGREE YOU ARE
HEALED,
AND SO WE WENT DOWN THERE
AND I HAD ONE OF THOSE BIG
FROSTED MUGS OF ROOT BEER
YOU KNOW,
AND ROOT BEER IS PRETTY
SYRUPY,
IT CAN BE PRETTY SWEET
IF YOU WEREN’T
HEALED, WHAT WOULD HAVE
HAPPENED?
I WOULD HAVE BEGUN
TO SHAKE,
I WOULD HAVE BEGUN TO
LOOSE ENERGY,
AND GO INTO A PANIC
ATTACK,
AND PRETTY MUCH BECOME
USELESS,
IT COULD BE PRETTY SCARY.
SO YOU HAD THIS GLASS
OF ROOT BEER,
WHAT HAPPENED?
I HAD TWO.
YOU HAD ANOTHER ONE,
THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
I WAS HAPPY AND
FINE,
IT NEVER CAME BACK, I WAS
COMPLETELY HEALED FROM
THAT DAY ON.
WELL, WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THAT DEBT?
WELL I FIGURED, AND
BEGAN TO LISTEN TO THE
KINGDOM OF GOD, THAT THE
KINGDOM OF GOD THAT HAD
BROUGHT FORTH THAT HEALING
OBVIOUSLY COULD EFFECT
EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE, AND
SO GOD GAVE ME SOME
INSIGHT IN THE DEBT, AND
FINANCES,
AND GAVE ME A BUSINESS
IDEA WHICH I STARTED,
AND BEGAN TO PAY THE DEBT
OFF,
AND HE, YOU KNOW, LED MY
DIRECTION IN LIFE AND PAID
EVERYTHING OFF IN TWO AND
ONE HALF YEARS,
THEN SAVED A HUNDRED
THOUSAND…
THAT’S NOT SO EASY,
YOU WERE IN COMMISSION
SALES, COMMISSION
SALES.
AND YOU PAID, IT COST
MONEY TO LIVE,
YOU HAD A FAMILY, AND YOU
PAID OFF A HUNDRED
THOUSAND IN DEBT?
PAID OFF, I HAD TEN
MAXED OUT CREDIT CARDS,
THREE FINANCE COMPANY
LOANS AT 28 PERCENT,
BACK TAXES OF FOURTEEN
THOUSAND,
OWED RELATIVES TWENTY SIX
THOUSAND,
HAD JUDGMENTS AND LIENS,
TWO CAR PAYMENTS,
MORTGAGES, ETC, ETC, I
PAID IF ALL OFF IN TWO AND
A HALF YEARS.
LISTEN, YOU WERE A
CHURCH MEMBER,
YOU BELIEVED IN GOD, YOU
WERE BORN AGAIN,
YOU KNOW HOW TO GIVE MONEY
TO GODLY THINGS,
YOU UNDERSTOOD ALL THESE
PRINCIPLES,
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
THERE IS A BIG
DIFFERENCE,
YOU SEE WHEN MAN WAS
CREATED HE WAS CREATED
WITH GOD SUPPLYING
EVERYTHING HE HAD NEED OF,
AND THEN WHEN MAN SINNED,
HE LOST THE RELATIONSHIP
WITH GOD AND HE ALSO LOST
THE PROVISION OF GOD,
WELL IT IS SAID THERE IN
THE BIBLE THAT WHEN ADAM
SINNED, HE WOULD NOW HAVE
TO FINE HIS OWN WAY TO
LIFE, FIND HIS OWN
PROVISION,
WITH THE SWEAT OF HIS OWN
BROW,
AND WITH PAINFUL TOIL.
NOW WE HAVE ALL BEEN
RAISED UNDER THAT SYSTEM,
IF I TOLD YOU TO MAKE
MONEY OR GET OUT OF DEBT,
YOU FIRST INCLINATION
WOULD BE TO RUN FASTER,
MORE JOBS, SWEAT MORE,
MORE PAINFUL TOIL,
THAT’S THE NATURAL NO,
NO, NO, NO, THE NATURAL
WAY IS TO GO BANKRUPT,
THAT’S WHAT IS GOING ON,
BUT GO AHEAD.
YOU KNOW THE NATURAL
WAY TO WIN IN LIFE
FINANCIALLY IS TO GRIT
YOUR TEETH AND WORK HARDER
AND LONGER AND SWEAT MORE
UNDER THE EARTH CURSE
SYSTEM, AND WHAT JESUS
DID,
HE HAS RESTORED BACK TO US
COVENANT,
ACTUALLY IT HAPPENED IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT,
ABRAHAM STEPPED INTO THAT
COVENANT WHICH OVERRODE
THE EARTH CURSE SYSTEM,
AND ALLOWED THE BLESSING
OF GOD TO ALLOW THE
FINANCES AND THE WISDOM
AND THE INSIGHT TO TAKE
OVER THAT SYSTEM.
OKAY, YOU ARE NOW OUT
OF DEBT,
BUT YOU ARE STILL IN A
SURVIVAL MODE,
ARE YOU ABLE TO GET AHEAD?
OH YEAH.
WHAT HAPPENED?
ONCE I PAID ALL THE
DEBT OFF THEN WE STARTED
SAYING HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS,
BEGAN TO PAY CASH…
HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS?
THAT’S RIGHT.
YOU’RE THE GUY LIVED
ON CREDIT CARDS?
THAT’S RIGHT, WE
LIVED ON CREDIT CARDS,
I MEAN IF WE HAD TO BUY
SOMETHING WE WOULD CHECK
IT AGAINST OUR AVAILABLE
CREDIT IF WE HAD ANY CARDS
LEFT, BUT WE BEGAN TO PAY
CASH FOR OUR CARS,
CASH FOR OUR LAND, HAD THE
SAME JOB,
NOW SID, THE SAME JOB,
SAME OCCUPATION,
BEGAN TO PAY CASH FOR
EVERYTHING AND THEN GOD
GAVE ME A DREAM IN THE
NIGHT THAT HE WANTED ME TO
HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
FINANCES AND HELP THEM GET
OUT OF DEBT, AND NOW WE
HAVE FOUR COMPANIES THAT
PRODUCE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS A YEAR IN
REVENUES.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO,
TELL PEOPLE HOW TO BUY
HOUSES CHEAP AND DO
INFOMERCIALS,
WHAT IS IT?
THE NATURAL SIDE OF
COURSE IS PART OF WINNING
IN LIFE, BUT THE KEY PART
IS HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND
THE KINGDOM OF GOD, YOU
SEE WHEN JESUS WAS ASKED
BY PETER WHEN HE HAD TAXES
TO PAY,
HE SAID GO CATCH A FISH
WITH A GOLD COIN IN IT’S
MOUTH, HE DID NOT SAY GO
GET A JOB,
YOU SEE THIS, THE LABORING
SYSTEM THAT WE ARE
ACCUSTOMED TO TAPPING INTO
COMPLETELY ON OUR OWN
ACCORD, BY OUR OWN PAINFUL
TOIL,
AND OUR OWN LABOR IS
LIMITED,
YOU CAN ONLY RUN SO FAST,
BUT JESUS TAPPED INTO THE
SUPERNATURAL REVELATION OF
WHERE THE MONEY WAS AT,
AND SO BY HAVING THE
SPIRIT OF GOD ON OUR SIDE,
AND BEING IN TUNE WITH
GOD,
HE CAN HELP US WITH
CREATIVE IDEAS,
BUSINESS IDEAS, HE CAN
SHOW US WHERE THE MONEY IS
AT, HE CAN HELP US CREATE
WEALTH,
USUALLY HE CAN GIVE
US A VISION,
RATHER THAN THE SURVIVAL
MODE,
WE’LL BE BACK IN A MOMENT,
BUT GARY IS A HUNTER,
AND GOD TAUGHT HIM
SUPERNATURALLY FROM HIS
HUNTING EXPERIENCE, IT
APPLIES TO MARRIAGE,
IT APPLIES TO FINANCES,
VISION,
EVERYTHING; BE RIGHT BACK
AFTER THIS WORD,
DON’T YOU DARE GO AWAY.
[MUSIC♪]
WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK TO,
“IT’S SUPERNATURAL.”
[MUSIC♪] WE NOW RETURN TO,
“IT’S SUPERNATURAL.”
HELLO, SID ROTH HERE
WITH GARY KEESEE AND I
TOLD YOU WE WERE GOING TO
BE TALKING ABOUT HUNTING,
I HAVE TO TELL YOU GARY,
I’M THE TYPE OF PERSON I
DON’T WANT TO KILL A FLY,
I DON’T QUITE RELATE TO
YOU GUYS THAT ARE HUNTERS,
I JUST RECENTLY WENT TO
AFRICA AND WENT ON A
SAFARI,
BUT MINE WAS WITH A
CAMERA,
BUT YOU’RE A REAL GUN AND
FIRE TYPE,
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM
HUNTING?
WELL, WHERE I LIVE
IN OHIO THERE IS DEER,
AND MY FAMILY LIKE TO EAT
THE VENISON,
AND FOR YEARS I WOULD GO
HUNTING AND NOT GET THE
DEER, AND BEFORE THIS
PROCESS ALL STARTED THE
LORD SPOKE TO ME ONE DAY
AND SAID,
“WHY DON’T YOU TRUST ME
FOR YOUR DEER THIS YEAR?”
WHICH WAS A REVELATION TO
ME,
HOW IS GOD GOING TO HELP
ME WITH A DEER,
AND SECONDLY, I DIDN’T
KNOW GOD WAS INTERESTED IN
THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU
KNOW,
SO I BEGAN TO PRAY ABOUT
IT AND HE SHOWED ME HOW TO
RELEASE FAITH FOR THE DEER
AND I BEGAN TO GET MY DEER
EVERY YEAR WITHIN FORTY
MINUTES,
EVERY TIME I WENT OUT, AND
THEN I I’M NOT A
HUNTER, BUT THAT SOUNDS
PRETTY FAST TO ME.
THAT’S QUICK, THAT’S
PRETTY FAST,
EVERY YEAR WITHOUT
EXCEPTION FOR THE LAST
EIGHTEEN YEARS THAT HAS
HAPPENED.
AND THEN IT GOT SO
SPECIFIC I COULD ACTUALLY
ASK FOR WHAT TYPE OF DEER
WOULD COME,
AND IF IT WAS A BUCK OR
DOE,
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DEER
WOULD COME AND IN FACT ONE
DAY I WAS HUNTING, AND
THIS BUCK WAS ACROSS THE
FIELD, AND THE LORD SAY
TELL IT TO COME TO YOU IN
JESUS NAME.
NOW REMEMBER I HAD NO
TEACHING LIKE THIS,
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR
TEACHER AND YOU KNOW HE IS
TEACHING ME HOW THE
KINGDOM OF GOD OPERATES.
I SAID, “LORD, SPEAK TO
THE DEER,
TELL THE DEER TO COME TO
ME?”
AND SO I JUST DID THAT, I
SAID DEER YOU COME TO ME
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND
STAND RIGHT NEXT TO ME,
I FIGURED IF I WAS GOING
TO USE FAITH,
I MIGHT AS WELL BRING IT
CLOSE,
YOU KNOW, AND THAT DEER
STOPPED,
IT WAS 200 YARDS AWAY, IT
TURNED AROUND AND WALKED
RIGHT UP TO ME AND OF
COURSE I GOT THE DEER,
AND I PRACTICED THAT
SEVERAL MORE TIMES THROUGH
THE YEARS, THAT SAME
PRINCIPLE,
BUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD
OPERATES BY LAW,
JUST LIKE ELECTRICITY,
JUST LIKE GRAVITY,
THESE LAWS ARE SET, THE
KINGDOM OF GOD OPERATES
WITH SET LAW THAT IS NOT
VIOLATED,
AND JESUS WAS ALWAYS
ILLUSTRATING THE KINGDOM,
SO THAT WE WOULD
UNDERSTAND HOW THIS
INVISIBLE KINGDOM OPERATED
SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE
SAME RESULTS THAT HE DID.
IT WASN’T THAT JESUS WAS
THERE,
YOU KNOW PEOPLE HAVE THE
MISCONCEPTION THAT IF
JESUS WAS HERE HE COULD
HELP ME,
WELL THE POINT IS, HE IS
HERE,
WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST,
BUT THE SAME LAWS THAT HE
USED WE CAN USE IF WE
UNDERSTAND THEM,
AND YOU SEE WHEN ADAM WAS
IN THE GARDEN,
HE WAS CREATED, HE HAD AL
OF HIS PROVISION SO HE HAD
NO FEAR, AND HE HAD AN
ASSIGNMENT,
HE WAS TO TAKE CARE OF
DADDY’S STUFF,
THE GARDEN, WHEN HE LOST
HIS PROVISION,
OR LOST THE RELATIONSHIP
WITH FATHER,
HE LOST NOT ONLY HIS
PROVISION,
WHICH NOW HE HAD TO RUN
AFTER,
HE LOST HIS ASSIGNMENT ,
OR PURPOSE,
HIS SPIRITUAL DNA, AND SO
WE HAVE PEOPLE IN LIFE
RUNNING WITH THE WEIGHT OF
FINDING PROVISION EVERY
DAY, EVERYTHING IS
FILTERED THROUGH THIS
EARTH CURSE SYSTEM, THAT
I’VE GOT TO FIND MONEY,
IN FACT THAT IS THE WHOLE
POWER BEHIND THE LOTTERY,
AND I WANT TO BECOME A
MILLIONAIRE,
WE ARE ALL TIRED OF
RUNNING AFTER PROVISION,
IF WE CAN JUST GET ENOUGH
MONEY YOU SEE,
THEN WE CAN REST.
AND SO THE BIBLE SAYS SEEK
FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD
AND MOST PEOPLE INTERRUPT
THAT AS DOING RELIGIOUS
THINGS.
THAT’S NOT WHAT IT MEANS,
JESUS WAS TEACHING ABOUT
WORRY, THE KINGDOM YOU AND
I GREW UP IN,
IN FATHER’S HOUSE WHERE HE
IS GOING TO MEET ALL OF
OUR NEEDS.
SO IT IS KIND OF
CHANGING KINGDOMS?
ABSOLUTELY, IT’S
CHANGING KINGDOMS,
AND IT IS CHANGING YOUR
RELIANCE ON THE KINGDOM
YOU GREW UP IN, THE EARTH
CURSE SYSTEM,
AND TAPPING INTO THE
SUPERNATURAL SYSTEM OF
GOD’S KINGDOM.
OKAY, I’M NOT A
HUNTER,
I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT
HAVING A DEER TO COME UP
TO ME TO SHOOT, BUT HOW
COULD THIS HELP ME
UNDERSTANDING THESE
PRINCIPLES?
WELL, I FIGURED IF
THE SYSTEM WORKED AND
BROUGHT THE DEER IN, IT
WOULD BRING MONEY IN,
IN OTHER WORDS THE KINGDOM
HAS PROMISED THAT IT WOULD
MEET ALL OF MY NEEDS
ACCORDING TO THE
INHERITANCE THAT I HAVE IN
CHRIST,
BUT MOST PEOPLE TRY TO ASK
GOD TO HELP THEM RUN
FASTER, INSTEAD OF TAPPING
INTO THE SUPERNATURAL
REVELATION OF HOW TO GO
ABOUT IT,
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE, DO
YOU SEE WHAT I’M SAYING?
YES, THEY GRIT THEIR TEETH
AND SAY GOD GIVE US THE
STRENGTH TO RUN FAST…
THEY ARE SO BUSY
WORKING AND RUNNING FAST
THAT THEY ARE MISSING THE
SUPERNATURAL.
THEY ARE MISSING THE
REVELATION IN THEM,
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS IN
THEM,
IT’S NOT OUTSIDE, AND MOST
OF US ARE LOOKING OUTSIDE
FOR ANSWERS, WHEN WE
SHOULD BE LISTENING ON THE
INSIDE FOR ANSWERS,
REVELATION,
CREATIVE IDEAS, WE ARE
CREATING WEALTH,
MOW MOST OF US LOOK FOR
WEALTH,
BUT ACTUALLY A CREATIVE
IDEA PRODUCES BY CREATING
WEALTH, AND SO AS
BELIEVERS WE HAVE THE VERY
MIND OF CHRIST, WE HAVE
THE THOUGHTS OF GOD IN US
AND GOD GAVE ME A DREAM TO
START A BUSINESS,
WELL THAT BUSINESS NOW
PRODUCES MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF REVENUE, I
NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT
BUSINESS, I WASN’T SMART
ENOUGH TO DO THAT,
YOU KNOW, AND SO BY
TAPPING INTO THE KINGDOM
OF GOD, WE CAN FIND OUR
SPIRITUAL DNA,
OUR PURPOSE, INSTEAD OF
FILTERING EVERYTHING
THROUGH LIFE ABOUT WHERE I
CAN FIND PROVISION,
I’LL MOVE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY,
I’LL GET A NEW JOB,
EVERYTHING IS WEIGHED
AGAINST THIS RUNNING AFTER
MONEY,
I CAN FIND MY PLACE, WHAT
GOD CREATED ME TO WORK IN,
HOW HE CREATED ME TO
OPERATE,
BY TAPPING INTO PROVISION.
I ALWAYS SAY IF YOU DON’T
GET THE MONEY THING FIXED,
YOU WILL NOT BE FIXED.
NOW LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING,
STRESS IS THE NUMBER ONE
THING DOCTORS SAY,
WORRY, THE BIBLE TELLS US
NOT TO WORRY,
I’M REMINDED OF THIS
COLLEGE STUDENT THAT IS A
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
PLUS IN DEBT,
THAT IS SO PARALYZED THAT
HE DOESN’T EVEN WANT TO
LIVE, HIS FACE IS,
EVERYTHING,
THE DOCTORS DON’T KNOW
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT,
AND NOW HERE YOU ARE TODAY
AND MAKING A MILLION
DOLLAR TYPE OF BUSINESS,
HOW MUCH STRESS DO YOU
HAVE?
I HAVE A LITTLE
STRESS,
IT’S A DIFFERENT KIND OF
STRESS,
BECAUSE WHAT WE DO IS WE
GATHER,
WHEN WE ARE ON ASSIGNMENT
WE GATHER,
WHICH DOES TAKE LABOR, IN
OTHER WORDS WHEN PETER HAD
DIRECTION ABOUT WHERE THE
GOLD COIN WAS,
HE HAD TO GO CATCH IT, HE
HAD TO GATHER IT,
BUT HE DIDN’T LOOSE SIGHT
OF HIS ASSIGNMENT,
HE DIDN’T LEAVE HIS
ASSIGNMENT,
HIS PURPOSE, TO GO FIND
MONEY,
AND JESUS AID LIFE IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN CLOTHES,
HOUSES, ALL THESE THINGS
ARE TO SERVE OUR PURPOSE,
BUT WHAT WE DO IS WE RUN
AFTER THEM,
THEY BECOME OUR PURPOSE,
AND WE BEGIN TO SERVE THE
LESSER, AND SO WHAT WE
HAVE GOT TO DO IS
UNDERSTAND HOW THE KINGDOM
OF GOD OPERATES,
SO WHAT I TRY TO DO IS
HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE
KINGDOM LAWS, THE
PRINCIPLES THAT GOVERN US
THESE LAWS OPERATE
FOR YOU;
WILL THEY OPERATE FOR
ANYONE,
FOR EVERYONE?
EVERYONE, EVERY
SINGLE PERSON.
WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE
THAT SAY,
WELL I TRIED IT AND IT
DIDN’T WORK?
IT WORKS, IT WORKS,
IT’S LIKE IF I JUMPED OFF
THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
YOU WOULD KNOW MY FUTURE,
WITHOUT WINGS, OKAY?
ABSOLUTELY.
YOU WOULD KNOW THAT
BECAUSE YOU HAVE RENEWED
YOUR MIND TO A LAW CALLED
GRAVITY,
AND APPARENTLY I HAD NEVER
HEARD OF THE LAW OF
GRAVITY OR I WOULD NOT
HAVE JUMPED OFF THE
BUILDING, YOU SEE.
THESE LIGHTS IN THE STUDIO
ARE GOVERNED BY LAW,
WE KNOW THE EXACT WATTAGE,
THE EXACT AMOUNT OF
CURRENT TO RUN THEM, AND
IF FOR SOME REASON THE
DON’T COME ON, WE DON’T
CALL THE POWER COMPANY
CRYING AND BEGGING AND
FASTING AND ALL,
PLEASE, PLEASE, LET ME
CONVINCE YOU OF MY NEED,
THAT I COULD HAVE POWER.
THEY WOULD SAY BUD, THE
PROBLEM IS IN YOUR END,
THE POWER IS ON HERE, AND
THAT’S HOW IT IS WITH GOD,
YOU SEE EVERYTHING IS
FINISHED,
EVERYTHING IS COMPLETE,
THAT IS WHAT THE SABBATH
IS ALL ABOUT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL THE SABBATH WAS
A TYPE AND SHADOW
ACCORDING TO COLOSSIANS
THE SECOND CHAPTER OF A
DAY OF REST OF WHAT GOD
WAS GOING TO SOMEDAY
RESTORE TO MAN THROUGH
JESUS CHRIST,
ON THE SABBATH THEY
COULDN’T WORK,
BECAUSE ON THE SIXTH DAY
THEY WOULD HAVE ENOUGH
LEFT OVER TO LAST THE
SEVENTH DAY.
NOT THE SIXTH DAY WAS THE
COMPLETION OF GOD’S
CREATION, MAN WAS CREATED
AT THE END OF THE SIXTH
DAY AND HE WAS TO SPEND
HIS LIFE IN THE SEVENTH
DAY WITH GOD, MEANING THAT
EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETE,
EVERYTHING HE NEEDED WAS
THERE.
WHEN IT SAYS THAT GOD
RESTED,
HE WASN’T TIRED, HE WAS
FINISHED,
OKAY, AND SO WHEN MAN
STEPPED INTO THE SABBATH
AS A TYPE AND SHADOW HE
STOPPED WORKING,
BUT IN THIS NEW COVENANT
WE HAVE BEEN RESTORED TO
OUR SONSHIP.
GALATIANS THE FORTH
CHAPTER SAYS WE NOW HAVE
AN INHERITANCE OF THE
WHOLE ESTATE,
WHICH MEANS WE CAN FIND
REST FROM THIS PREVAILING
MINDSET THAT THE WORLD
LIVES UNDER CALLED THE
EARTH CURSE, OF RUNNING
EVERY DAY WITH THIS
MINDSET OF FINDING
PROVISION,
TAKING CARE OF NUMBER ONE,
HOARDING WEALTH BECAUSE WE
ARE ALL TIRED OF RUNNING
AND WE CAN FIND OUR
SPIRITUAL DNA AND FIND THE
REASON THAT WE ARE HERE.
ALL RIGHT LISTEN, YOU
WANT TO BE IN SURVIVAL
MODE, OR DO YOU WANT TO BE
ENVISIONING,
INSIGHTING, INTIMACY WITH
GOD IN REST?
THERE IS ONLY ONE REST
THAT YOU CAN HAVE,
THERE IS ONLY ONE SHABBAT
REST THAT YOU CAN HAVE,
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO
HAVE PEACE,
AND THAT IS TO BE
TRANSLATED FROM THE
KINGDOM OF DARKNESS TO THE
KINGDOM OF THE SON OF HIS
LOVE, AND THE WAY THAT YOU
ARE TRANSLATED IS TO HAVE
THE SPIRITUAL SCALES COME
OFF OF YOUR EYES,
AND THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE
THE SPIRITUAL SCALES COME
OFF OF YOUR EYES IS TO
BELIEVE THAT GOD SO LOVED
YOU HE SENT HIS ONLY SON
TO EARTH WHO DIED AND ROSE
FROM THE DEAD AND BY HIS
SUFFERING AND BLOOD AND
CARING ALL OF YOUR WEIGHT,
ALL OF YOUR SINS, [MUSIC♪]
ALL OF YOUR SICKNESSES,
ALL OF YOUR SICKNESS IS
EVIL, BELIEVE THAT HE
CARRIED IT AND WHEN YOU
BELIEVE THAT YOU MAKE HIM
YOUR LORD AND MESSIAH AND
HAVE A LITTLE SHABBAT
SHALOM,
A LITTLE BIT OF SHABBAT
REST.
[MUSIC♪]
