Opportunity and Outpouring | Pastors Matt and Sarah Keller

heart for the house offering as well because you are a part of our church family. We want you involved in this. We're grateful that you're with us today. We bless you. Lean in. God's got a word for you. And then to all the men and women in the correctional facilities. Come on you are our church family. We're grateful for you. Thank you for leaning in. Man, God is using what God is doing in this place. I pray that it blesses you, blesses your heart, and we're so grateful for you. I don't know if you know this or not, but October is pastor appreciation. I don't say that for you to clap for us right now. I say that. I say that to let you know you still have one more week next Sunday. So I really say it because I want to just acknowledge the team of people that God has allowed us to be on staff with here, the people that have been with us through the years. I want to honor them. I specifically want to honor the pastors that are on our staff. Pastor Aaron, Pastor Jonathan, they lead in this house so well and I'm grateful for them. But this is like a double bonus for us because it's Pastor Appreciation Month and we actually have our pastors. Our pastors are here with us today and I need you to understand something. Every pastor needs a pastor and 10 years ago, God allowed our pastor cross with our pastors and they became our covering, our spiritual covering, our spiritual mom and dad in our lives. And we didn't, we were doing church. We didn't really know what we were doing. We were tired. We were exhausted and we just needed somebody that was ahead of us. Somebody that had gone before us and the killers are that for us. And I'm so grateful for them. They lead an amazing church in southwest Florida, but not just their church. They leave the network that we're a part of. My wife will tell you a little bit about that. I'm going to stop now because I might start crying. So take it away, babe. Yeah, so we stepped into this network over 10 years ago. And like he said, we didn't know what we were doing. We felt really lonely. We had great friends and great people around us, but we didn't have pastor friends who were doing the same thing that we were doing. And so when we walked into that place, I can tell you it was one of the greatest yeses that we've ever given our lives to to say, we want to be a part of what you're doing. Wherever you're going, we're going, whatever you ask us to be a part of, the answer is always going to be yes, because we want to be a part of it. And what we gained in that moment was what we believe is some of the greatest pastors we could have ever asked for. They have loved us on the hard days. They've been with us through the late nights and the late night zooms. Hey, do you have a minute to take a phone call? We don't know what we're doing. We don't know how to navigate this. Or hey, we're feeling tired or our kids actually

need prayer right now, whatever it is. They are simply just a phone call away for us. And we're so grateful for that. We're honored that they take a weekend to come and spend it here with us. And so rise church. We are church on earth. So would you please stand to your feet and come on and for our pastors, Pastor Matt and Sarah Keller. What is up rise church? Come on, if you're glad you're here, say yes. Yes. We are too. And before you're seated real quick, hey, can we honor your pastors for real? You guys have incredible, incredible pastors. Receive that pastor, Adam and Pastor Rebecca. What a gift you are to Jacksonville. What a gift you are to this body. And thank you for your yes. Your yes is reverberating, not just across North Florida, but literally across the nation. And as we're going to talk about for a few minutes today, around the world. And so we honor you today. Come on one more time, honor your pastors. Love you too. You can be seated. Hey, if we have not met before, we are pastors Matt and Sarah Keller, as they said, from Southwest Florida, from Fort Myers, Florida. Yes. And a little bit about our family. If we're a new face to you, we have two sons. We've got a picture. Actually, this is from our youngest son Drew got married last November. And that's his wife Taylor. They are pregnant with our second grandchild. It's going to be a boy. So we're excited about that. This is our oldest son, Will and his wife Jess. And then 15 months ago, we became grandparents to Esther Jane. And we have a close up picture of her because I know she's the cute. Okay, grand parenting is just the best. Grandparents in the room. Yes, you know, you can attest. Like, everyone told us it was going to be amazing. And then I was nervous. What if we're the ones who don't think it's amazing? No, it's amazing. So if you have teenagers right now and you're tempted to kill them, don't do it because there's better kids come in like. but we love our family, we love what we get to do, and we're just honored to be here right after. - Yes, come on, how many of you are ready for the word of God today? Amen, yes, us too, so if we had to title this message, we would title it, sorry, I scrolled up too fast, opportunity, somebody say opportunity, and outpouring, say outpouring. Opportunity and outpouring, and before we dig into the word,

let me ask you a question, have you ever faced something that seemed daunting? Come on, anybody ever faced, I guess I should phrase it this way, when was the last time you faced something that was daunting, and all those parents of teenagers are, there you go, this is your moment. - Baby teenagers, you're in the room, you're like, no, it's the final exams, like, you know, something that just feels a little daunting, or how about the first time you bring home that baby from the hospital? - Seriously. - I don't know, we just had this feeling of like, they're just gonna let us take 'em, like, how do, like, we don't know how to do this, or, you know, like, (laughs) - I remember it was probably a decade ago, that we took our family to Colorado and we went snow skiing. Okay, snow is like rain only cold, sorry, that's a Florida joke, we're from Florida, it's-- - Hey, it's cold here today, though. - It's yes, I am, I can't feel my nose right now, it's okay, it's okay, we're gonna be okay. - We're gonna be okay, we're gonna get through this. So, a decade ago, we took our family, snow skiing in Colorado, and my oldest son, Will, who you just saw, he and I got on one of the lifts at one point in the day, and we had skied over to this other, you know, we came down, we were over this other place, so we just jumped on a lift, and as we were going up the ski lift, we realized that down there

was where we used to get off, and that this lift was going beyond that, and we kinda looked at each other and we're like, oh no, like how high does it go? And sure enough, we had gotten on the wrong lift and it had taken us all the way to like the highest point, like a clear back to the top and the far, so we get to, we're like, what are we gonna, like we get off, we kind of ski off the lift, and Will looks at me and he's like, what do we do? And I'm like, well, the only way down is down. So let's go, and I remember, and I just like, we were like, okay, we're just gonna take this as slow as we can, and we, you know how you kinda go back and what you kinda do, the snow plow. Well, we just kinda started down the hill, and I remember feeling like a few minutes in, that feeling of like, okay, number one, the Lord hasn't forsaken us. Like, I think God is with us in this. But then also that feeling of like, okay, this is daunting, but like, I think we, I think maybe we're gonna be okay. Well, today we wanna show you a story. It's found in the Old Testament, and it's found in Second Kings, chapter four. If you have your Bible, you can turn there. If not, the verses will be on the screens around us. You can follow along, because I have this sense that today, maybe you're in the room, and you feel like you're facing something daunting. Maybe you're in the room today,

or you're with us in our online family, and you feel like you're facing a mountain in front of you. And we feel like God's put a word in our heart for us as individuals, but also for the vision that God has placed inside of your church. Rise church today. So the story we're gonna look at is found in Second Kings, chapter four, verse one. And it's the story of a woman who finds herself in a daunting situation as well. Let's begin reading Second Kings, chapter four, verse one. It says this, the wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha. Okay, time out, what's happening? So in those days, the children of Israel were God's people in the Old Testament, and in every generation, God would raise up essentially a spokesperson. They were known as the prophet. So in this generation, Elisha was that prophet, but then every prophet had underneath him kind of like associate pastor, so to speak. So these associate prophets. So this woman's husband was one of those associate prophets of the prophet, Elisha. So this woman comes to the big dog, Elisha, and says to him, your servant, my husband is dead. And you know that he revered the Lord. In other words, he was one of the good ones. He was trustworthy.

But now look, his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves. We wanna give you a few thoughts from this story that not only apply to her, but apply to each one of us today as well. Maybe we wanna take some notes. Here's the first thought we wanna give to you. There's some big needs in our world today. There's some big needs that each of us are facing. - So if we think about the story, this woman finds herself in a painful, crisis kind of situation. - Yeah. - She comes to Elisha, the man of God at the time, and she says, "I'm in dire need. I've got this debt. The creditors are coming." And they're not coming just to try and take her home away. They're coming to try and take her sons away. They're gonna take them. They're gonna make them slaves. And so that means she's gonna lose everything. And so she comes in this painful situation. She brings this problem to Elisha. And I don't have to tell you, Ray's church, there are a lot of painful situations in our world today. There are a lot of needs in our world today. And this heartache that is here and among us, it might be here in this room. You might be like Pastor Sarah,

I'm one who's in need today. Maybe you've walked in and you're carrying the need of someone else that can't even be here today because they're in such a great place. Right now, the young generation is facing needs, unprecedented needs that we couldn't have even imagined two decades ago, identity crisis, and things that they're facing from social media and comparison and getting to the age of 18 and thinking that they're already too far gone because they're comparing themselves to something that doesn't even make sense. I mean, there's so much need in this world today. There's so much despair. And it's happening at a younger and younger age, but I love that this woman in the midst of her need knows where she can go and she can go to God. And she brings the need to God, which is what we can do, Ray's church. We can say, I've got a lot of needs. My neighbors have a lot of needs. There's a lot of pain in this young generation, but we're gonna bring that to God because Jesus is the answer to every single problem that we are facing today. - So this woman brings her need to the prophet, Elisha, look at verse two, Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you?" So he asks her the question, "How can I help?" But then look what he does.

He turns the question back to her. He says, "Tell me, what do you have, say this with me, in your house?" Here's the second thing we want you to see in this story. Number two, God's provision for the needs around us are in the house. God's provision for the needs around us in our world today are in the house of God. But what's this? She can't see it. So she comes to Elisha, "Elisha, you gotta help me." He says, "How can I help?" And then he says to her, "Well, hold on. God wants to do something miraculous in you. What do you have in your house?" But look, the second part of verse two, she looks back at Elisha, the prophet, and she says, "Nothing. You're serving as nothing there at all. Nothing at all. I got nothing." Well, except a small, I mean, all I have is a small jar of olive oil. She couldn't see it. She couldn't see that her small actually could be great in God's hands. In church, listen, we understand. It can feel daunting to look across the needs of our world. It can look daunting to feel daunting to look across the issues of our world today.

And it can make us think, what difference can I make? What difference can we make? But here's the greatness of our God. Our God actually looks at the needs of our world, the issues of our day, and you know what he does? He actually thinks the exact opposite. When God looks down and sees big needs in our world, you know what he says? He says, "Where's my children at?" When God looks down and sees big issues in our world today, he says, "Where's my church at?" I'm looking for some of my kids who will rise up. I can use them to do something about this and rise church. Listen, God has put a big vision in your pastor's hearts. Not just for West Jacksonville. God's put a big vision in their hearts for all of this region. God's put a big vision in their heart for our nation and to impact the nations of the world. Listen, and God's put each and every one of you, planted you in this house for such a time as this. And I believe God brought us all the way from Fort Myers, Florida. It's a lot warmer there today, by the way. I believe God's brought us all the way from Fort Myers today to tell you, listen, God wants to use you. God wants to use you in this season, just like he wanted to use this woman. - Yeah, and God wants to use what's in, get this all of our hands to make an impact. Each and every one of us has something in our house.

Each and every one of us has something in our house. And just like this woman, sometimes we can't see it. We look on and we think, no, no, no, like I just have a little, I just have this little job, I just have this little house, I just have this little bit of money in my bank, I just have a little, little, little, little, little, and Elisha in this moment wanted to expand her view of God, because God is not a little God. He may take what we see as little, he pours his spirit on it, and it becomes so much more. It becomes more for his kingdom. So let's continue in our story, verse three Elisha said, go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't, he says, don't just ask for a few, number three, there's power in community. There is power in community. So she says, well, I don't have anything. Well, I guess I just have this one little jar, and he's like, okay, I can work with that. You just admitted that you at least have a little. And then the next thing that he does is he says, now I want you to go to your neighbors. You see, when we put all of our jars together, we can have a massive impact together. So Elisha sends her on a mission around her neighborhood. Go, you got to start finding what they have too. You see, one plus one plus one plus one is enough. He got the economy. He says, I can take yours and his and hers. And when we put it all together,

it is enough for what God wants to do. And that's the power of the generosity, even within this house. That's the power of our heart for his house offering that is happening next Sunday. That's why Pastor Adam and Rebecca are encouraging everyone to take part because each and every one of us, when we put it together, God can multiply. And can I just encourage you, there is no better investment than investing here in what God is doing in the kingdom. And every dollar gets multiplied. It's not just an expense on your bank account. It does not just go out of your account. It actually adds to your account. - Come on, come on. - An increase that starts to happen when we put together what God has given us. And God can do so much more with it when we join together in the community. - And rise, we want to take a few minutes and share with you some of the impact that you're making as a church. You heard your pastors say that we not only pastor next level church in Southwest Florida, but we also lead the next level relational network of churches. And you may not even realize this. If you're new to rise church, you may not even realize that your church

and your pastors are a part of our network family. And God over the last 15 years or so has grown our relational network of churches. Listen to this to over 210 churches. 210 churches, we're in 31 states, 23 countries. We have 18 churches now in Canada. We have 33 churches in Europe, just in the last 18 months. It's crazy what God has done. We have four different regions across the US. And again, you may not know this. Your pastors actually lead the Southeast region of our network that has over 50 churches in it. (audience applauds) Just a few weeks ago, your church, again, you may or may not know this, your church hosted our Southeast regional gathering with dozens of couples, this is all of them. Come on somebody, they made them custom shirts that say brotherhood and sisterhood. Love that, by the way. No other region did that. (audience laughs) Anyway, look across, look, these are pastors from across the Southeast United States that just a few weeks ago were in this building and your church was investing in them, pouring into them, praying for them, leading them to the altar and to the throne room of God and keeping them encouraged in the game.

You're making a difference across the nation and around the world. You heard your pastor mention Uganda a few minutes ago. God's given us a part work, a partnership with Dr. Richmond, Juan Dara, and your church generously gave a year or two ago, both a year ago and two years ago, by the way, to help build Cornerstone University in Kampala, Uganda. Look at that building. (audience applauds) That is 120,000 square foot building that is immaculate, is beautiful. And guess what? You're a part, rise church. universities, secular or Christian, in all of East Africa. And through this facility, God's going to begin eventually to be able to train 4,000 pastors a year to impact the entire continents of Africa. Rise Church, you're a part of that. Yeah, that's you. That's you. That's what you get to do. Recently, when Pastor Adam was in Africa, he and Pastor Matt Erickson took over over 300 of our Freedom Curriculum books. I think we actually have a picture when they were delivering it. Pastor Juan Dara, Dr. Juan Dara has a vision for every pastor. There are 15,000 pastors in PDN, and he has a vision for all of them to go through freedom and bring freedom to their churches. So we are currently figuring out how to get thousands of resources into these pastors' hands. And let me just tell you why that's important. Because when we were training some of these pastors, recognizing that what God had put in our heart for this Freedom Curriculum was not just here for America, but seeing some of the things that these pastors are facing, the most of them grew up in poverty. Most of them, their parents were killed in various ways. And so they grew up, and they have found Jesus, and they are standing in faith for other people, but they've got wounds. There are things that they're facing. There are things that they're dealing with, and they need freedom in Christ, and they need to bring that to their churches. So we're believing that God is going to show us how we can expand this from 300 to 3,000 to 15,000,

because this is what God is doing around the world. We also are within the network. We're seeing so many, especially in Europe, of these new church plants. So we just were a part of planting a church with Manuel and Florina. So cute. They actually have another baby now. So they've added to their family, and they just birthed a church in Zurich, Switzerland. Just a few weeks ago, had over 200 at their launch, have seen dozens of people get saved. And last Sunday, they baptized five people for the first time. And Zurich, Switzerland, God is on the move. And you're a part of that, because your church is a part of our network and gives generously, you get to be a part of that. But wait, there's more. So three years ago, we were able to plant the very first life-giving church like ours in Bucharest, Romania. So the next picture, so this couple, this is Daniel and Alina, as a Yankee hat on, we're working on that. But beyond that, the great couple. So Daniel and Alina, we sponsored them. We paid their first-year salary and a year of rent for them to be in their theater for the first year of their church. And you, rise church, gave in that offering, sacrificially and generously. Your church gave to that. And guess what? Three years in, this month they celebrate three years. They're three years in, they've seen dozens, and this is a former communist country. Sarah and I were there just over a year ago, ministering in their church. And they're walking us through the square where communism fell in Romania. Daniel remembers being a five-year-old boy in his brother having to wait in the bread line, in the dark, just to see if they could get food. He remembers communism. And literally, they're reaching people who are coming out of communism that taught them there is no God. And they're hearing about Jesus and they're getting baptized and saved and set free. God's doing it. So this other couple is John and Roxanne, and they are planting a church. They just planted last Sunday. Two, literally, today is Sunday number two for them. They planted a church in Transylvania. Yes, that Transylvania, it's October. We can talk about it. Come on, talk about doing hard things in a hard place. Some of us, some of us, we're like, oh, it's cold this morning. I don't know if I can go to church. They're in Transylvania. So I'm mentoring Pastor Daniel once a month on Zoom, and so he and I were on Zoom last month, and he said to me, hey, Pastor Matt, I just want you to know that we're, we take this seriously what we're doing. And so there's John and Roxanne, and then there's another couple planting another church in Romania. And Daniel said, Alina and I are going to go and spend a day with each of these churches, and we're going to, we're going to bring an offering from our church.

They've got 100 people. We're going to bring an offering from our church. And I looked at him over Zoom and I said, hey, man, don't just bring your offering. We want to match whatever you're giving to them, sewing that seed into them. We as a network family are going to match that and sew that seed into them. Rise church, that's you. We get to be a part. Think of it. Think of it. [APPLAUSE] I know you don't know who I am, and they're going to have a Romanian accent, and they're going to say, because you gave in that heart for his house offering in Jacksonville, at Christchurch." God used a part of that offering to be a part of planting my church that I gave my life to Jesus in, in Transylvania, Romania. That's what we're doing. We're impacting eternity. It's more than just dollars and cents. It's souls, amen? Somebody say it's souls. We could go on and on and on, which I will, because that's awesome in terms of the nations of the world, and we're doing hard things and hard places. But so are you, and the vision God has put inside of the heart of your pastors. They drove us yesterday down 103rd Street. We felt it. We felt it, and we stopped. I just parked the car. Hang on. We stopped, and we started praying, because we know God's put a vision in the heart of your pastors to see a rise church location like this on 103rd Street somewhere. I know you pray every single Wednesday night in your prayer meeting, "God, open the door. God, open the door. Listen, church." That's what we're doing. We can't just stop now. We can't just stay here and go, "Well, you know, I got my seat. I got my coffee. I got my deal." No, there's more. There's some more. Yeah. There's some more. Yeah. So we're going to pick up in our story. I'm like, "Who? It's more. It's good." This woman, she's got a painful situation. She comes to Elisha. She first says, "I don't have a little, but then I've got some oil." He says, "Go find your neighbors. Get those jars. Let's pick up in verse 4. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side. You see, the oil in the house has a multiplication effect.

That's it. So he's like, "You've got a little. You start pouring, and I'm going to fill every single one of those jars. And can I just encourage you, Reister? God's plan A is still the local church of Jesus Christ." That's right. That's right. This is the hope of the world. Jesus is the hope. And when we bring our oil here into this house, he's going to multiply it for impact. And can I just encourage you, this is trustworthy soil. Yeah, come on. We know you're pastors. That's right. They are undercover. That's right. Things are done well here. Some of us, we're today. I don't know. I don't know if I can trust that. And I just, like, double dog dare you. Remember, like, when you were a kid, I, like, I dare you. No, I double dog dare you. Like, to put God to the test, put God to the test. Say, God, I hear what you're asking me to do. It doesn't even make sense. So God, I'm going to put you to the test. I'm going to give this, and I'm going to watch how you multiply it. And those of you who give, can I just say, thank you, like, thank you. It is being multiplied already. But there is more. So if you've never given, I double dog dare you to start to give, give something next week to, if you've been giving and giving consistent, like, start getting consistent, set up your automated giving, like, say, no, we're doing this. As for me and my house, we are doing this. If you've been giving consistently, then what does giving generously look like to continue to give above and beyond that God could do more things in our nation around the world. And right here in Jacksonville, like it is possible it's going to fuel forward the vision. That's right. That's right. So, so Elisha gives her these instructions. Here's how you do it. And then check this out. This is where it starts to get really, really awesome. Look at verse five, she left him, shut the

door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her. Look, and she takes her little jar of oil and she starts pouring. And she kept pouring. And when all the jars were full, she said to her son, bring me another one. I just imagine her right here, just, like, giddy, like, do bring me another one, bring me another one. And the son is like, uh, mom are out of jars. Look, and then the oil stopped flowing. God does an absolute miracle right here. Here's the fourth thing I want to share with you. God will fill what we bring him. God will fill what we bring him. I have an illustration. It's coming right here. Here you go. Okay, here's what I want you to see. If we bring him this, God will fill it. If God will fill it. But if we bring them a 12 ounce, tall, just not tall, guess what? God will fill it. If we bring them a Grande, you say it. God will fill it, but if we bring them a Venti, God will fill it. If we bring them a five gallon bucket, come on somebody. God will fill it. If we bring them the back of our pickup truck bed, God will fill it. If we bring them a swimming pool size faith, God will fill it. Look what it says, Second Corinthians. Let's take it to the New Testament, Paul writing in Second Corinthians 9, he says, now he's being of God who supplies seed to the, what's the word? So we're in bread for food. We'll also supply and increase your store of seed and will, what's the word? Enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. What's Paul saying?

Paul is saying, listen, God is looking not for seed eaters. He's looking for seed sowers. God gives more seed to the sower. He brings increase the store of seed. And look, it says he'll enlarge the harvest of our righteousness. In other words, the reward in heaven. That's what we're living for everybody. And look at Proverbs 11, same idea, verse 24. The world of the generous gets larger and larger. - Come on, come on. - But the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed, but those who help others are helped. And we believe, I hope you can get this today, Rice Church. I believe God is gonna bless and multiply your wife in ways that you can imagine. I believe he wants to enlarge your life. But he enlarges you. It gets the world of the generous gets larger and larger. But some of us are so stingy that our world just keeps feeling smaller and smaller. The goal is to say, God, I'm gonna give you this. You're gonna multiply it. That's how our world can get larger and larger. - So back to the story, look at this. When all the jars were filled, verse seven, she went and told the man of God. And he said, go, sell the oil, pay your debts.

You and your sons can live on what is less, left. Last thought we wanna give to you, God took her little and made it enough. Somebody say enough. God took her little and made it enough. - And I just love this story. And if you've been around your Bible for a long time, you've been following Jesus, you know the story. But I hope today they'll just touch you in a whole new way all over again. Because God took her little and he truly did make it enough. She put what she had in God's hand. She trusted him and he did the miraculous. Think about it, her sons who she thought might be taken away. She was gonna lose them. She'd already lost her husband. It looked like her house was gonna be gone. Her sons were gonna be gone. And instead, God turns the whole thing around. Not only for her good, but his glory. We're still talking about her faith today. - That's right, that's right. - We're still talking about the miracle that God did today. Because he takes our little and he makes it enough. And I can't help but think about the story and just reminisce on what God has done in our life. Because we can stand here and share these stories of Uganda and Africa and the network and all these things that God is doing. And I know some of you know our story,

but many of you don't. It was 2002, I was 24, he was 26. And God had called us from a small town in Indiana to pack up our rider truck and moved to Fort Myers, Florida. And we only had $9,200 to start our church. We only had $3,000 to our name. That first year of our church, we were personally below the poverty line. We were alone and had no idea what we were doing. But God took our little and he made it enough. And so we're not standing here today because we are Matt and Sarah Keller. We are standing here today because we are a son and daughter of God who said yes to his call. And he took our little and he made it enough. And then he brought rise church to us. And now he's multiplying through you. This is what God wants to do in each and every one of our lives. And there are some massive opportunities ahead, but there's a massive outpouring that God wants to do to fill each and every one of our lives. I remember when my son and I finally got down to the bottom of that mountain in Colorado. And when we got to like the lodge, I remember like we looked at each other, and then we looked back at the mountain, and I don't know if you ever experienced this, and we kind of had that feeling of like invincibility, you know, I may know what I'm talking about. That's what God's up to. When we're facing mountains, God's going, "If you'll trust me, if you'll put your little in my hand, you'll get on the other side and be like you." Look at my God. Hey, can we stand across this room or want to pray for you?

We believe the Spirit of the Lord is here. We believe God, even right now, is speaking to hearts. He's speaking to hearts. So Heavenly Father, we just acknowledge you here. We thank you, God, that you have planted us in Rise Church. God, we thank you for the yes of our pastors. And God, we know that the vision you've placed inside of their hearts, for our city, for this region, for our nation and the nations of the world is big. And God, we thank you that each of us have a part to play. God, thank you that our little, when put with everybody else's little, with your spirit on it, is enough. We thank you for that in Jesus. I just sense that some of us today, maybe you're battling a mentality that says, "I'm just," or, "We're just," or, "It's just." That's that scarcity kind of mentality. And I believe that God wants to break that off today. If that's you, I actually want you to do something bold. There's no shame in this. It's just, I've had to face that at certain times, like, if that's you, we just raise your hand. I just want to know, we're going to pray that that would be broken off today in Jesus' name. That there's going to be a replacement for that, where instead of, "I'm just, it's just, it's going to be broken off," and you're going to see things differently today. So Father, we thank you. God, we pray scarcity mentality would be broken off today, where the enemy has been lying, where they've been hearing this voice, or maybe they were even told their whole life, "You're just." "It's just." "It's just."

"Not enough." You're never, break that off today in the name of Jesus Christ. We proclaim God, "This is your son. This is your daughter. They are enough in you, and God, you are enough for them." So God, I pray that their world would get larger and larger. Yes, yes. And Father, we pray, Father, over this offering next week, God. May it multiply for your kingdom in Jesus' name and Jesus' name. Father in Jesus' name, we pray blessing over Christ's church. God, I pray blessing over every family, every single person, from the youngest to the oldest that God these days, these coming days, would be days as their world, as they live generously, their world would get larger and larger. Father, we thank you for what you're up to in this house. We give you the praise and glory in Jesus' name. And everybody who agreed to that prayer said, "Hey man, come on, let's give Jesus praise."
