Why Do You Always Feel Like You Don’t Have Enough?
Why do you always feel like you don't have enough? In week one of Jailed, Pastor Jason McKinnies opens Zechariah's vision of four horns and four carpenters, then takes on the first one: the horn of lack, the lie that you don't have enough and you are not enough. "These forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing."
I want to thank you for joining our broadcast on the Pando App. We love you and we're praying for you. [applause] It's been a season since I preached to you and make sure I'm where I'm supposed to be and everything's pretty and wonderful. If you have a Bible, turn to the book of Zachariah. If you don't know where that's at, find Matthew and then turn left to books and you're getting there. And we're going to talk about Zachariah. We're going to go into a series called "Jailed" and try to get to this series since the end of September. So let me make a few pastoral announcements about that. Number one, don't read anything into what I'm saying other than what I'm saying. We're going to talk about Jezebel next week. We're going to talk about Atholiah the week after that. We're going to talk about Ichabod the week after that. Fourth week, we're going to talk about Leviathan. Then I thought, you know what, that's a, you know, not really the way I want to end the series. So I threw in Esau in there for the E. And then I thought, you know what, it's terrible to end without the glory of the Lord coming back. So we probably should talk about David who brings the glory of the Lord back. And so that's where we'll end it, right around Christmas. And that seems like a long ways away, but I know many of you have already got
your naughty list going. And so we're going to start today. I was going to, I had talked to Dave Fisher about this sermon a few weeks ago. He said, I don't remember that sermon. And I said, well, I'm going to preach it again. Lo and behold, I'm going to preach it again. Dave's in Mexico. And so we're going to preach it again when Dave gets back just to Dave. So Zachariah chapter one. And so we're going to read in verses 18 through 21 in just a moment. So I kind of just went through the series. Jezebel, Atholiah, Ichabod, Leviathan, Esau. And so before you get down deep into those spirits, you have to see how the enemy gets people in jail. How does the enemy get there? Because nobody starts out saying I want to be a Jezebel. Nobody starts off in saying I want to be Atholiah. Nobody says I want Ichabod, which means to go with the Lord's depart. And nobody wants to be Leviathan, which many of you who are conspiracy theorists, that's where they get the Loch Ness monster is actually from the Leviathan spirit, it's a water spirit. And so nobody starts out that way. In fact, there's never their intention to be controlling
or manipulative, it's never their intention to be one who tries to destroy a next generation. It's never their intention to be like Eli and allow the glory of the Lord to depart. They get pushed into it. How do they get pushed into it? And that's where I wanted to start this series and is to talk about how the enemy pushes against every believer, every believer who tries to move with God gets pushed. And so for just a way to explain this, I'm going to talk about today the four horns of resistance. And when God shows this, the horns, God never shows you resistance without giving you a solution. For with every temptation, there is a way of escape. So I want to show you what God sent to break these things. Let's read, and for times sake today, I'm just going to read three, four verses very quickly out of this little New Kings James translation. He says, "Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four horns. And I said to the angel who talked with me, what are these?" So he answered me, "These are the horns that have scattered Judah, so scattered praise, scattered people of the birthright Israel, and it's scattered the place of the temple, Jerusalem." Verse 20, "Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen." How many of you have a King James Version Bible? Your Bible says carpenters,
four craftsmen or four carpenters. And I said, "What are these coming to do?" And he said, "These are the horns that scattered Judah, scattered praise, so that no one could lift up his head. But the craftsmen, the carpenters are coming to terrify them, not the people who couldn't lift up their head, coming to terrify the horns, to cast out the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it." And so let me just give you a brief history lesson. I am a lot like Pastor Melissa. I want to try to get you out of here early. I want to get you out of here. But also, I don't want to leave you confused about the Word of God. And sometimes we have to take our time to understand what God is trying to say. I don't want to belabor the point, but I do want to give you an explanation Zachariah has. Now most of us would rather be Haggai. Haggai was told to tell the same story. He did it in two chapters. Zachariah is given the same assignment. He does it in 14. Unfortunately for all of you, I am not a Haggai. I'm a Zachariah. I'm gonna give it to you in about 14 hours. Just joking. But he's preaching and teaching and talking to a people Zachariah who come home from a foreign nation called Babylon and they come back to a city that is in complete disarray and it is in ruins. It's rubble. And a part of that city, Jerusalem, the Temple Foundation, the temple was there and now the foundation has been laid. The people came back and they started working to
rebuild the temple. They got the foundation. And once the foundation was laid, the work then stopped. And it stopped for years. Nobody built. Verse 21 tells us why they stopped building. It says that these horns had pressed them down and the Scripture says it like this so that no man could lift up his head. They had been so pressed and so pushed down that no man could lift up his head. Now I don't know about you but that's what it looks like for people who are getting pushed into this jail cell of these spirits is they can't even lift up their heads because if they can lift up their heads they would see where their help is coming from. But they're not able to lift up their head and so now they're getting pushed into an area that they don't even understand. And many of us think that when we are jailed spiritually that we always think it's like iron bars. I've found that more Christians are in jail without iron bars than are not. There are a whole lot of Christians who have been pushed down so much so that they don't even lift their heads. They used to sing. They no longer sing. They used to serve. They no longer serve. They used to dream. They no longer dream. They used to prophesy. They no longer prophesy. They used to be used in gifts. Now they're no longer used or used in gifts. They used to operate in the things of God. And now they even wonder if the things of God are real. They have been pushed down so far that they won't even lift up their heads anymore. I believe that we're speaking to a generation of people who need to break out of those things. If there's ever going to be the next generation of the church this generation of the church has to break out of jail. So I want to just talk just for the next six weeks, seven weeks or so about these spirits and what they do to us. But those are the spirits that build the cells. The Spirit of Jezebel builds a cell. Athaliah builds a cell. Ichabod builds a cell. Leviathan. Esau. Eli. They build cells. It takes the Spirit of a living God. The Spirit that was on David to break out of those things. But many people are being pushed or driven into those things. And what happens when you're getting pushed or sent into a Spirit of resistance is that God sends something to help you. He sends carpenters. He sends craftsmen on your way. So first let me just explain
just a little bit about what a horn is in Scripture. A Scripture in Scripture a horn is meant to show power on display. It's meant to show strength that pushes. You see, rhinoceros, they have a horn that can be used to push or utilize to gore or to be used to dominate somebody. So the horn is being said to us in the Scripture. It's pushing people. It's trying to dominate them. It is trying to literally gore them. It's trying to keep them from rebuilding what God sent them back to rebuild. Do you know that when you were brought into the kingdom of God that you became the temple of the Most High God? So let us use this metaphorically just for a moment. Many of us are happy when our foundation is laid. We get saved and the enemy is alright with you getting saved because now we can't stop what God has already done. But what then he tries to do there is to get you satisfied that you have a foundation but no walls. He's okay with you to have a foundation in his celebration. So let me put it in modern terms. He's okay if you check the box that you went to church on Sunday. What he's not not going to allow is for you to walk in freedom on Monday and walk in freedom on Tuesday and walk in freedom on Wednesday. Yeah we're gonna go the whole week and on Thursday or Friday or Saturday and what he does is if I could just get to church everything's fine. My friend this is not really the church. You are the church of the Most High God. You are the temple of the Holy Ghost and fire in your life. And so we need you to be built up in your most holy self all week long. But the enemy is pushing you with these horns. So about the horn of an animal. Other times in Joshua chapter six, it was used for trumpets. Pastor Ed was talking about the oil of the anointing, what was happening about vessels. The horns became vessels of oil. They were in Exodus chapter 27, horns were the corner of the altar. They mean, so it's figurative for strength or power
and demean in Deuteronomy and Psalm and even in Daniel. And so we have these horns that are coming. So how many of you have ever come face to face with an animal that has horns on it? Some of you are looking at your spouse. (congregation laughs) Years ago, when I was a child, my mom and dad, we went to Yellowstone. This is before all the Facebook stuff and kids, we didn't have phones back then. We were out, so we didn't know all the things you guys are supposed to know. So we were playing Frisbee in Yellowstone and in amongst the buffalo. This is before there were signs about how fast buffalo could run. That's 30 miles an hour for those of you that don't know that. I can't run that fast. And my brother and I were just out there playing Frisbee and buffalo roaming all around us and all this. We had no idea how much danger we were actually in because it looked peaceful and they were just eating in mind in their own business and we were playing Frisbee. But let me tell you something. Once I realized how much danger we were in, I put the Frisbee away. Mom and dad didn't have to tell me the pastor said so.
I'll just drop the little spirits of truth on some of you all. Nobody had to, once we realized that there was gonna be no negotiating with the buffalo if they got bothered by us playing Frisbee. And are they far too many people don't really think that they can mess with a horn and can negotiate with it and not get pushed around by it. A bull doesn't argue with you. It just chuffs you where it wants you to go. If your own is territory and it feels threatened by you, you my friend, you're on the wrong end of that proverbial stick, if you will. So when something is coming at you to resist you, to gore you, you're not gonna have an argument or nor are you going to have a healthy spiritual debate with it, it just lowers its head and pushes. And what we'll see here in Zachariah is the horns were these four nations. We can debate about what nations they were just for, time's sake and just for being churchified. They were nations that had pushed Israel into a place where they had stopped even trying. And the enemy still works that same way. He uses tactics, he uses weapons. He uses lies to resist you from living out the will of God for your life. He does what he needs to do to destroy you and he's doing everything in his power so you will keep your head down.
He wants a weak, anemic church that just says it's a church. So here in Zachariah, these nations were used to get the people of God discouraged enough that they would stop building the temple. This is what is meant for you so that you would stop building your temple. We can talk about you being the temple, but we can also talk about the corporate church, the global church to stop building the kingdom of God on the earth. We're happy with the foundation. Can we finish the building? Is what I want to know. So let me give you just my little interpretation of these four horns and the modern sense. They were four nations then. I think they're four attitudes now that the enemy uses to push God's people into a spiritual jail to where you'll no longer build. Number one, the first horn where we would call it the horn of lack. Lack, L-A-C-K. The horn of lack says two things to God's people. Let me be more specific. I understand you may be watching me on broadcast. I just so happen to be in Southern Illinois. We are a state who is really underneath it right now. Physically, we are underneath it. We're about to come out of it spiritually and once we get out of it spiritually,
we're about to come out of it physically. So I don't want you to read into anything other than what I'm saying. So I'm going to say some things that may offend you, but I don't want you to read into it. I am not happy with the current state of any politics. I am not a Democrat nor am I a Republican. I am a Jesus freak. And I don't believe that you can fix what's going on in the state of Illinois by going to a voting booth. I'm telling you, you should vote, but listen, what we need is an old fashioned Holy Ghost, fire revival in this nation so that we don't have to have all these debates in the public square. We lay them down in an altar. If you're confused sexually, I invite you to know Jesus. I invite you to know Jesus. If we can get you to know Jesus, Jesus will lead you in all paths of righteousness and of truth. I don't need to debate with you. I don't need to outvote you. I don't need to out politic you. I don't need to out Facebook you. What I need to do is build a fire so big that you lack nothing. [APPLAUSE] So here in the state of Illinois, especially those of us in southern Illinois, we wish we had the resources of Chicago. We wish that our governors would raise the taxes
so that we could get better roads down here. We wish that we would stop living on Chippin' Seal when God has given us asphalt and concrete. [APPLAUSE] And how we're going to get out of that is we need to stop believing the lie that we don't have enough and that we are not enough. My friend, listen, now some of you may doubt what I'm saying because you think, well, pass it just a few weeks ago, you were going to leave here. Here's why I wanted to leave. This is exactly why I wanted to leave. So I don't want you to read into anything that I'm saying, I want you to hear exactly what I'm saying. Either I'm going to have a move of God in my life or I'm going to go somewhere else and have a move of God. I'm not going to sit here and die while people believe the reports of the enemy instead of believing the reports of the Lord. Listen, I'm anointed. And when I leave here, I'm going to be anointed. David didn't show up to the farm. Or excuse me, Samuel didn't show up to the farm to anoint the farm. He went there to anoint David. And when I needed some David's that are anointed in their life that don't care about what farm they live on or where they grew up or what their zip code was, you have an anointing that can kill every Goliath. [APPLAUSE]
But you have to believe that sure more than enough. [APPLAUSE] So it tells you all the time, you don't have enough and you are not enough. You lack resources. You lack talent. You lack support. You lack confidence. You lack anointing. It goes after all of the lack in your life. But my friend, if you have the Holy Spirit operating on the inside of you, remind you of this, greater is he that is within you than he that is in the world. I don't care who's in the governor's office. My God shall supply all of our needs according to his riches in glory. When it just blow Pritzker's mind, if Southern Illinois started prospering and he couldn't figure out why it was prospering, when it just be amazing if there was a revival that broke out and businesses started opening up and jobs started coming and people say, why is that happening? It's the glory of the Lord in Southern Illinois. I can feel that resistance right there. Oh, we're not enough. You are more than enough. You lack nothing. You need to lift up your head. Lift up your head, O.E. Gates, and let the king of glory come in.
So these exiles returned. They knew about this horn. Haggai had preached to the same crowd of people who had been this horn of lack in Haggai chapter one verse six. He said, you have so much in bringing little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you're not filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages, earns wages to put them into a bag with wholesome. Does that not sound like a little bit of what we're dealing with right now? But God has, and I just wrote, God has a word, but actually God has a final word. God's word is spinal for the voice of lack. Deuteronomy chapter two, in verse seven. For the Lord, your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows you're trudging through this great wilderness. These 40 years, the Lord your God has been with you. I love this last line. And you have lacked nothing. The Lord your God is with you, and you have lacked nothing. How many are lacking something today? If the Lord your God is with you, you lack nothing. Let's go to Psalm 34 verse 10. The young lions lack and suffer hunger,
but those who seek the Lord shall not. Y'all like that? Shall not lack any good thing. For 40 years they were in the wilderness and God said you lack nothing. Now here's what we would say. 'Cause lack is not about what you possess in your hand, it's who's with you on the journey. Reminds me of that old Southern Gospel, I'm probably passionate about it, the only two that know this song. Gee, does that say it's with me? When the storm clouds gather, he's standing there by my side when I hear the thunder roll. He holds my hand. You know what, Mel? Well, why are you being so quiet, sing? Why? Because the enemy just whispered to you that you're not enough. Just stand with me, Mel. Come on, we're going to break that spirit. Come on. Come on. [applause] He's standing by my side when I hear the thunder roll. He holds my hand. When I-- I begin to tremble. When the winds up--
This world are blowing strong. Yes, sir. Jesus is with you. When the storm can't come together, I'll be standing by my side when I hear the thunder roll. He holds my hand when I begin to tremble. There you go. [applause] This world are blowing strong. Mel, just let me tell you, you're more than enough. The enemy took your leg, but you're still standing. He's trying to take your voice, but you're still standing. You're more than enough. You can break that spirit off of you, and the same annoying that ran in your mama is running down into you. So just stand strong, my sister, and be bold as a lion, and you lack nothing. [applause] See, we lack by what we can hold in our hand. God's saying, "No, I want you to measure it by the fact that I'm with you." And if you lack direction--passable. Listen, I'm going to close here just a minute. I'm not even going to go to the second horn. We'll go to that next week. We'll just make this a 10-week series. [applause] If you--if you lack direction, the Bible says, "If any of you lacks wisdom,
let him ask of God who gives to just people that live in Chicago, just those amazingly anointed politicians in Washington." No, he will give any person who asks him. He gives to all liberally. Liberally, he gives you direction. So here's how I want to close. This is just why I want to close this way. Because God's already moved. I don't need to have another altar call because you're already healed. You're saved. You're delivered. You're set free. You've felt the presence of God. So here's what I want to do because this is how we started. His pastor Ed poured some oil and water into the pump and began to prime. Can I just say this? Just kind of my little anointing snarky self. If you don't like how long the services are, then what you do is what you did today. You come in ready. [applause] See what normally has to happen. We got to sing five songs to get you to the last song. But today we started off on the last song. Why? Because you was ready. You were pumped.
You were primed. You were saying we lack nothing. We're not here to get anything from God. We're here to give some stuff back to God. We're here to give him all the praise and all the glory and all the honor because we don't lack anything. [applause] So I just want to talk just for a moment to the people who used to serve. You used to do this. You used to do that. You walk around and say God used to do. Pick up your head. Lift up your head. And look to the hills where your help comes from. You lack nothing. That horn of resistance has pushed you to the point where you have begun to confess the lives of the enemy and have believed them to be greater than the truth of God's word over your life. Revival is not coming. Revival is. Your family is not getting ready to be saved. Your whole house is saved. You lack nothing. And if those of you that are in financial straights, let me just say it to you like this. God cannot protect what is not already in his hand. [inaudible] It's going to get tied in here because we're going to talk
about money. We're going to talk about money. Listen, we've been traveling to Florida and we've been going to churches with our daughter. Some are my speed. Some of them are a little half step slower than my speed. Some of them are three steps slower than my speed. But I was sitting there listening to this pastor and I thought, boy, that's good. And here's what he said to his church. So you don't want to tie then you don't want to give? out for you and we'll see how it worked out for me. Because the third horn, let me just get a little head of myself, is the horn of the devour. And God can't rebuke the devour unless you've put things into his hand. And if you're struggling in your finances you need to start putting things into God's hand. You remember this old line from the old pastor that used to pastor here? He said it like this. I'd rather have 90% blessed. That's me by the way. Versus 100% cursed. Because God can take your 90% and stretch it more than you could ever imagine in your life. He said, "Oh, I'm in Southern Illinois. Be careful. You're starting some lives that the enemy's been pushing you down with that we can't have blessings and live in Southern Illinois." Let me just say it to all you people that are trying to put your houses up for sale and you're trying to move out of here. You think it's going to be any better where you're at? You're never trusted God right here. Why would you trust God there? It may not be the governor. It may not be the president that's the problem. It may be that you've not put things into the hand of God because God is everywhere. And so if you move to Florida, yeah, the politics may be different. But the curse remains because you've not put it into the hand of God. He's just preaching for a raise. No, not. No, not. I'm preaching to you when I practice. I put it into the hand of God and watch God just multiply it, press down, shaking together and running over. I just heard earlier today, I won't give any names of somebody in this church just today. The government, the IRS, that wicked acronyms that they come up with, which they went back and looked at all their taxes over the last few years. They went out to the mailbox this week. They need a new house. Went out to the mailbox this week and Uncle Sam,
the greediest family member all of us have. We all share the same father and we got the same weird uncle. Uncle Sam wrote them a check, went back and checked their taxes and make them mistakes on their taxes all these years and wrote them a check for $15,000 and put it in the mailbox. I say, "Gread it, God." Anybody else say, "Gread it, God?" I don't care if it comes from Uncle Sam or Uncle Jerome, but Lord, we need to build the kingdom of God and we need the people of God to be set free because the enemy has his foot on our neck and it's in the wrong place. You need to put your foot on the neck of the enemy instead of allowing the enemy to have his foot on your neck because you lack nothing. You lack nothing. This is going to sound really weird, but that's okay. That's okay. My email has been, I figured out how to do auto delete. Do you know how to do auto delete? I got a new family member. His name is Claude. You get old Claude? You got the same uncle and I said Claude up and I said, "If it's in this subject line, send it to my delete box. If it says, hey, want to say some few things about church, delete box." Because if you ain't got the cojonas to come tell me to my face about it, don't send me an email. And if you want a problem, I better be careful. You better come out here. I invited somebody to church the other day and she went into this whole tirade about how my church is too loud. Y'all too crazy. I used to have a friend that went there and she left because y'all too Pentecostal. I said, "Did you not just tell me just a few moments ago that you were scared that the Muslims were taking over this country?" She said, "Oh, yes." I said, "Did you not just rail about Governor Pritzker and the President of the United States?" "Oh, yeah, I railed about all of them." I said, "Then you want to tell me that my church should tone it down a little bit. I think we should turn it up to the highest level we've got so that there is a revival that moves across this land and takes it by storm." Don't turn down your worship. Don't turn down your praise. Don't turn down your prayer language. Turn it up. You will act nothing. (upbeat music) [MUSIC PLAYING] What we have lacked around here is opportunities for you. We've been scaling the church back and scaling the church back to make it manageable for people. We get to church too often, so starting in February, Wednesday night services will be
back. Not just first Wednesday, every Wednesday, every Wednesday. Does the Monday night prayer mean that you should all like to skip? You need to show up to them. If you want to pass them, listen out and stay here and pass them. We're not here to pastor you. We are here to lead you to the place that God has given to you. That God has promised and prophesied over Southern Illinois. Let's just start right here. We lack nothing. We have the finances to build the kingdom. You have the finances to live. You shall not lack. You shall be in prosperity. You shall be in the land of abundance. What did he say? "I have come that you might have life and life more abundantly." Yeah, word of faith, prosperity, preacher. No, that's in the Word. Blessed when you go in, blessed in the city, blessed in the field. Blessed when we come, blessed when we go. You ready? So here's what I'm going to do. Anybody in the building if you're struggling financially. I'm not telling you, give an offering. You do what God tells you to do. What I want to do is have some folks pray over you. Anybody else had a lot of resistance the last few weeks. Come on. Pass them, listen.
I just got done having dinner with Pastor Reggie and Mama Helen and Papa Ed. And Brother Tattoo, and we got home and we were like on cloud nine and we were behind a washer and dryer putting the drive in back together. My phone rang and I thought, "I don't want to answer the phone right now. I'm trying to put this together." Then Melissa's phone rang. So we got up and answered the phone and it was our daughter Zoe. And some dude, he just run through a parking lot and hit her with his car. I'm talking about my family has been protected. And I thought, "Well, you nasty little devil. We begin to pray right there. You nasty little devil. Here we are. She's there. We're here. God's moving here in southern Illinois. You're not going to lay hands on our daughter. She lacks nothing. She's still under my roof. She's still under the anointing of our lives. There's going to be no harm come her way. Now some of you are going to have to get bold like that in every area of your life. So right now, if you're struggling financially, I want you to step up. I know it's going to make you to be honest, but if that's what you want you to step out. See that, what we're fighting right now, that ain't even a spirit from hell. That's just an old church spirit. Oh, people need to be blessed financially. Yes, they do. May God open up the windows of heaven right now over your life. And may he rebuke the devour for your sake.
If you're not in his hand, you need to put it in his hand. But right now, Lord, rebuke the devour for their sake right now. I pray God that you would rebuke every enemy that is stealing from them, robbing from them. That is teeming from them. I pray God that when they lay their head down tonight, that they would find sweet rest. That you, Lord, would be able to open up the windows of heaven over their life. And you would rebuke the devour and they're going to begin to pour out blessing over their lives that they would not even have room enough to receive what you have in store for them. Open up the windows of heaven right now and pull out over their lives in Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. Let's just stay right here. So according to the IRS, I have to do everything spontaneously. So this is completely spontaneous. It's not in my notes, I didn't plan to, I haven't asked the church board for any assistance with this. But right now, if you're in the building of God has blessed you and you feel led to give something to them because that's the Acts chapter two church. Remember, we took up an Acts offering here if you, it's been a year and a half ago. If you feel led, come up here and give them something. That's the church. See, I don't know if I feel comfortable. to order here on the altar and then you need to and go pay your bills. I don't have anything on me, my wallet. Pastor Ed, can I borrow some money? (audience laughing) Can I pay you back in a minute? I'm good for it. Oh, thank you.
I owe you. Okay. (gentle music) You like nothing, those of you that are giving, I pray a blessing over you right now. Hey, sir, sir, right. May the Lord heal your wife. And for the generosity of your own heart, may the Lord open up the windows of heaven right now and heal your wife right now in Jesus' name. Yes, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Let virtue flow right now from your Roman into her body and heal her. Completely, Lord, in Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. (gentle music) The Ephesians says it like this. Now unto him, who is able, Brown to do exceedingly and abundantly above anything that you can ask or even think. All those business plans you've written out and drawn out, God can do exceedingly and abundantly above anything that you can ask or even think. Anything. Put it in his hand.

See, this is a thing of resistance gonna come over you in just a minute. It's the same spirit of pride that comes at foot washing in communion. See, in foot washing, there takes two acts of humility. It takes the ability of the person who is washing the person's feet. G.J. come here saying, bring them red shoes over here. See, it takes humility from me to wash her feet. Equally true, it takes humility on her part for her to expose her feet for them to be washed. So, people were humble and they brought an offering so that you then could be humble and receive an offering. That makes sense? So, you should not feel bad, you should not feel guilty. If you come up and say, I need $100 to get gas, then take the $100 and put gas in your car or your electric bill, whatever it may be. So, G.J. is gonna share something with her. She's the grandmother of this house. That's why we call her G.J. Yeah, turn your mic on. Well, y'all, just listen to me. I'm just really some crazy goofy old lady, but I have a ministry called the Jesus Cats.
My account is here, she would tell you what I'm telling you is she's a free account 'cause that's what God does. It costs $10,300 a month to run it. God said, don't ask for money. Do not get a grant, do no fundraisers. We do nothing, I just go to the mailbox. That's all I do. You know why? Because I give a ton of it away. Whatever anybody gives me, 10 or 20%, I owe zero. I have no lack of nothing because I give it away. And that's what I'll encourage you to do. This is wonderful. But if you didn't have any money today, come up to somebody and tell 'em get their address that you're gonna give it to 'em. Send 'em a check. I'm telling you, if I give, I don't know, if I give $1,000 to wait the next week, I have $3,000 in the mail. I'm telling you the truth. The way to get your fine edges is to give it away. (audience applauding) All right. Did you just lift your hands with me around the building? Lord, we lack nothing. We have everything we need. And every need that is represented in this place, my God, my God shall supply all of those needs
according to His riches in glory. So Lord, those that need even more than what is here, let this be a seed that is sown into their life that grows 30, 60, and 100 fold. And rebuke the devour right now in Jesus' name and let this church lack nothing. Let its people lack nothing. For we are the head and not the tail. We are above only and never beneath. And we are blessed when we go in and blessed when we go out. We are blessed in the city and blessed in the field. In Jesus' mighty name. And all of God's people said, "Hey, man, we love you. God bless you." See you next week. Let's go, I'll sing. [BLANK_AUDIO]
