00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,440 Turn in your Bibles to Deuteronomy 28. 20 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:25,240 I am so grateful to all of you that have been here this week, your participation, your giving. 21 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,540 Appreciate your patience and all that we just went through, but it's going to be worth it. 22 00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:34,160 We have more kingdom business to do tonight, so it's going to be worth it. 23 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,640 Deuteronomy 28, we're going to read there. 24 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,200 In 2023, NASA launched a space probe. 25 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,240 They were aiming to reach what's called the Psyche asteroid belt. 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,760 They're mapping the surface and collecting data of these asteroids, these floating objects 27 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640 in space. 28 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,060 One of the reasons why is that some of these asteroids are mineral rich. 29 00:01:58,060 --> 00:02:00,680 They have huge economic value. 30 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,720 There's one asteroid called the Davida. 31 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:10,120 It is 220, 202 miles in diameter. 32 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680 That's 326 kilometers. 33 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,240 It is considered the most valuable asteroid in the belt. 34 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,400 It has a resource value. 35 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,640 The resources, the ores, the metals inside it, they believe it is worth approximately 36 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,320 27 quintillion US dollars. 37 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,040 I won't even tell you how many zeros that is. 38 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:39,200 27 quintillion is more than all the wealth that exists in the world today, and it is 39 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,640 up there in the heavens, but it is untapped. 40 00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:50,960 The fact that it's in the heavens, it's not doing anyone any good. 41 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,920 The scripture we're going to read, just one verse, God speaks of the treasures of the 42 00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,020 heavens. 43 00:02:59,020 --> 00:03:06,000 My aim in this message is to open your eyes spiritually so you can see the incredible 44 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,920 untapped resources that are available to us. 45 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,480 I want to preach about treasures in heaven. 46 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,040 Deuteronomy 28, just one verse, verse 12. 47 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:25,880 The Lord will open to you his good treasure, the heavens, to give you the rain to your 48 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,240 land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand. 49 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:37,240 You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow treasures in heaven. 50 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,240 Let's begin. 51 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280 I want to talk about the treasure house. 52 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:47,360 This text is preparing God's people for relationship with him and to do his will. 53 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,200 So he gives them in chapter 28 the blessings of obedience in relationship with God. 54 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,240 Deuteronomy 28, verse 2, the beginning of the chapter. 55 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,840 All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of 56 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,080 the Lord your God. 57 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:10,720 Blessing, an incredible Bible word, to grant favor on another, but it is actually talking 58 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:17,560 about adding a supernatural dimension to something or to someone. 59 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,280 Think about the feeding of the 5,000. 60 00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:26,160 In Jesus, he takes five loaves of bread and two fish. 61 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,240 The Bible says he broke it, he blessed it. 62 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:38,160 He added something supernatural to what was there and it became more than enough. 63 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,600 That's what blessing is. 64 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,360 It is adding a supernatural blessing. 65 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,040 That dimension of blessing, it is built into having relationship with God. 66 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,800 Genesis 12, 2 and 3. 67 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,160 I'll bless you and make your name great. 68 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,920 You shall be a blessing. 69 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,720 I'll bless those who bless you. 70 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,520 I'll curse those who curse you. 71 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,080 And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 72 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,960 In this text, God speaks to Abraham. 73 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,360 He says when you're in relationship with me, there is financial blessing. 74 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,360 Favor with people. 75 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,120 They will view you favorably. 76 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,980 People will want to help you. 77 00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:18,480 There is protection from attacks. 78 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,280 Attacks, as Brother Stephen said, turn actually into our benefit. 79 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:31,240 And blessing speaks about effectiveness in ministry and giving us the ability to then 80 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,960 pass on blessing to other people. 81 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,640 The dimension of blessing is the birthright of every believer. 82 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120 Galatians 3, 13 and 14. 83 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,040 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it's 84 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,560 written cursed as everyone hangs on a tree, so that the blessing of Abraham might come 85 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:58,960 upon the Gentiles, that's non-Jews in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of 86 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,120 the Spirit through faith. 87 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,440 That supernatural dimension should be manifest in the life of every believer. 88 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,280 So now let's get to our text. 89 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:17,520 Our text speaks of treasure, verse 12, the Lord will open to you His good treasure, the 90 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,520 heavens. 91 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,400 The word treasure is actually storehouse. 92 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:30,920 The storehouse is the room, the rooms or the buildings where supplies were stored up. 93 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:37,600 We see this in Nehemiah 12, 44, some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse 94 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,240 for the offerings. 95 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:48,480 These were temple supplies that were laid aside waiting to be used for temple ministry. 96 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,360 Joshua 6, 19 says, but all the silver and gold vessels of bronze and iron, they're consecrated 97 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,360 to the Lord. 98 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:03,320 They shall come into the treasury, same word, storehouse of the Lord. 99 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:10,240 These were treasures that were laid aside so that they could be put to use at a later 100 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,000 point in time for the purposes of God. 101 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:23,760 So the idea of a storehouse or a treasury is that resources are stored up, they're waiting 102 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,240 for you to draw upon them. 103 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,600 Today we would view this as like having savings in the bank. 104 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:38,360 Any of you, if you have saved money saved in the bank, what that means in crisis, you 105 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,980 can withdraw from the bank, which is your storehouse, to meet a need. 106 00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:47,440 Does your vehicle need repairs or there's a problem? 107 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,840 You withdraw what you need. 108 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,520 Is there a health problem? 109 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,480 You make a withdrawal to meet the need. 110 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,440 That is what it is. 111 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:02,520 In times of purpose, like we did in the offering tonight, you can withdraw in order to accomplish 112 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,280 God's purposes. 113 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,920 If you are the pastor of a church, this would be like having the ability to withdraw money 114 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:16,840 to purchase a building, to rent a suitable building, to be able to take money so that 115 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,520 you can plant churches. 116 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:28,380 Treasure is a storehouse and treasure is the potential of every believer. 117 00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:35,840 Every believer, every pastor, every church can enter into this dimension of blessing 118 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,920 called treasure. 119 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:45,960 The key to treasure is that it must be stored up. 120 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760 So how do we store up treasure in heaven? 121 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,480 The Bible says two main ways. 122 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,200 Number one, we store up treasures through prayer. 123 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,760 Prayer means we can ask for God's intervention in the earth. 124 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:09,320 Matthew 6, 10, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 125 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,600 That is the right of every believer. 126 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,720 You can ask your heavenly father, what is in heaven? 127 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,240 All the power of heaven. 128 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:24,760 I needed to come down where I live in my unsaved family, in my ministry, in my finances, my 129 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,760 health. 130 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,880 I need you to get involved. 131 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:34,800 But you know the problem with prayer is that for many people, they get frustrated because 132 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,820 the effect of prayer is not immediately seen. 133 00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:47,120 We ask, God says ask and He'll intervene and many times young converts, even older converts 134 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:53,280 will come and they'll say, I'm asking but nothing's happening. 135 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,600 Why? 136 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,600 Something wrong with me? 137 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,840 Is something wrong with God? 138 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:05,360 Because the assumption is if I'm asking and nothing's happening, that means my prayer 139 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,640 didn't do any good. 140 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:13,760 But all listen to me, the power of those prayers are being stored up in heaven. 141 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,000 How do I know this? 142 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,960 Revelations 8, 3, an angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar. 143 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:26,080 He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon 144 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,920 the golden altar that was before the throne. 145 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:36,040 So now God is allowing us to see into heaven and He's saying that the prayers of the saints 146 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:42,920 are being stored in heaven but then they were being poured out. 147 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:50,520 Acts 10, 4, Cornelius, your prayers and your giving have come up for a memorial before 148 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,520 God. 149 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,960 He no doubt prayed day after day after day. 150 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,500 He may have assumed like many people, nothing is happening but the angel said it's being 151 00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:03,640 stored up. 152 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:10,780 It has been stored up and now is the day it is going to be poured out in your life. 153 00:11:10,780 --> 00:11:15,080 So we store up treasure in heaven first by prayer. 154 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,400 Secondly, we store up treasures through giving. 155 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,840 Matthew 19, 21, if you want to, Jesus said, if you want to be perfect, go sell what you 156 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:29,040 have, give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. 157 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,320 Come follow me. 158 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:36,120 The same idea, storehouse in heaven. 159 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,240 Now we often think about, yeah, that greedy guy got a hold of him and said, just give 160 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,240 all your money away so you have nothing. 161 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,000 Listen, if he had nothing, how is he going to eat? 162 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,500 How is he going to survive? 163 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:53,800 Because Jesus says, you are going to lay up treasure. 164 00:11:53,800 --> 00:12:00,800 Treasure is going to be a storehouse for in a time of need you can draw upon it, Matthew 165 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:06,760 6, 20, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust destroys 166 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,960 and thieves don't break in and steal. 167 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,280 We often preach and think of that eternal reward, give now. 168 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,400 It'll be waiting for you in heaven when you die. 169 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,860 That is true but biblically that's not all that it means. 170 00:12:21,860 --> 00:12:31,240 It also means that when we give, we are storing up in this life for kingdom purposes and needs. 171 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,240 We can withdraw treasure in heaven. 172 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:41,300 Listen, for many believers here, you have been storing up treasure. 173 00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,920 You don't realize you have given. 174 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,880 Many of you have walked away from your giving, assuming it's done and I'll see the benefit 175 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,320 when I die. 176 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,160 No, that is not true. 177 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,760 You prayed and assumed nothing is happening. 178 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,960 Listen, right now there are treasures waiting for you right now. 179 00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:00,960 Amen. 180 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,360 This is what God wants you to understand. 181 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:10,560 1804, Merriwether Lewis and William Clark, they were sent on an expedition where Thomas 182 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:17,160 Jefferson negotiated with the French, purchased a massive amount of land basically from the 183 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,840 middle of modern day America stretching all the way to the Pacific coast. 184 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,320 And so this was called the Louisiana Purchase. 185 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,380 It had to be explored so he sent these two men. 186 00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:31,520 They were given $2,500. 187 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,600 That would be like being given today $600,000 to buy supplies. 188 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,320 But more than that, President Jefferson gave Lewis a letter authorizing him to draw on 189 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:49,040 any agency of the U.S. government anywhere in the world for anything he wanted for the 190 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,200 expedition. 191 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,960 He also authorized Lewis to call on citizens of any nation to furnish you with those supplies 192 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,080 which your necessities may call for. 193 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,920 He said this letter is a general credit for you with my own hand. 194 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,860 He's pledging the entire U.S. government behind this letter. 195 00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:13,760 It was the most unlimited letter of credit ever issued by an American president. 196 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,760 Think about that. 197 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:22,080 He said, here with this piece of paper, anything you need, you can draw upon it. 198 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:28,040 And our text says you can lay up treasures in heaven. 199 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,200 Let's talk secondly about treasure requirements. 200 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:39,680 Now in our text, it says this is not just automatic for every single person in the world. 201 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,500 Treasure number one has a location. 202 00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:49,560 Verse 12, to give rain to your land. 203 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,840 This is not saying rain will fall on any dirt anywhere in the world. 204 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,480 It was the land of Canaan, the land that God had promised. 205 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,920 It was the place where God wanted them to be. 206 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:12,120 And he says, if you are in the place where I plan for you and I want you to be, then 207 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,520 the rain will fall upon your land. 208 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,120 You see, God's will has a location. 209 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:26,760 You cannot serve God anywhere in the world that you choose. 210 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,000 God is everywhere, but his will has a location. 211 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,520 God has an opinion about where you should live in life. 212 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,520 He has an opinion about where you should go to church. 213 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:41,140 He has an opinion for every couple in the ministry where you should pastor. 214 00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:47,040 He has an opinion about what ministry you should be in, in the church or whether that 215 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,440 is in pastoral ministry. 216 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:57,800 Our text says God only promises to bless in the location that he chooses. 217 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,200 Verse 12, to give the rain to your land. 218 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:08,200 See, you can only expect supernatural help if you are where God wants you to be. 219 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:13,640 First King 17, 9, our brother preached or just ministered from this verse, arise and 220 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,520 go to their path which belonged to Sidon and dwell there. 221 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:24,040 Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you. 222 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,960 God is talking now about miracle provision. 223 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,960 Here someone is going to view him with favor. 224 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:38,020 God is going to do a supernatural miracle that this little bit of bread, little bit 225 00:16:38,020 --> 00:16:45,760 of flour and oil is not going to run out as long as the famine goes on, but God says, 226 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:51,640 I will feed you there, not everywhere there. 227 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:58,880 See, the problem with us is we so often view life as a personal preference. 228 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,640 There are people like, you know, it's hot here. 229 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,880 I feel like moving where it's cold. 230 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,800 There are people that they're in the cold, they think I'm going to move where it's warm. 231 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,380 I'm going to move to the ocean. 232 00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:13,560 I'm going to move where they're skiing. 233 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,720 Right? 234 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,320 And we think that God is like, oh, oh, oh, God's falling around with the blessing hose 235 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,160 going, where are they going to be next week? 236 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,060 That's not true. 237 00:17:25,060 --> 00:17:28,320 There are people in church that go, you know, I don't like this ministry. 238 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,960 I'm out. 239 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,320 There are people that, I don't like this church. 240 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,080 I don't like that pastor. 241 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,440 I'm out. 242 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,440 Not this church, of course. 243 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:50,800 There are people here, you're called to preach, you go, I don't want to preach. 244 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,800 I want to make money. 245 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,520 I want to do other things. 246 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,480 There are pastors here, God's called you, go overseas. 247 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,520 You go, I don't want to go overseas. 248 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,820 But you think that the rain is still expected to fall. 249 00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:05,820 That is not true. 250 00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:09,040 Let me ask you something. 251 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:17,480 You may be stopping the rain of God's treasure in your life, in your walk with God, in your 252 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,800 ministry, in your church. 253 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,320 Here's the question. 254 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,680 Are you where you're supposed to be? 255 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:34,000 That where may be a city, may be a church, may be a ministry. 256 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,960 Are you where you're supposed to be? 257 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,280 Second question, are you doing what you're supposed to be doing? 258 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:50,200 Because that is the land that God will reign on only where he chooses. 259 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,240 You know what? 260 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,800 It may be that some of the frustration you are experiencing in life is because you are 261 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,560 out of place. 262 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,360 So the answer is be in the place where the rain can fall. 263 00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:10,840 For some of you that means get in the place. 264 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,200 Others of you, that means stay in the place. 265 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,200 You got a problem with that? 266 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,440 I'm out. 267 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,880 Stay in the place. 268 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,720 For some of you, get back to the place. 269 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,200 A blessing. 270 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,000 Genesis 31, 13, I'm the God of Bethel where you anointed the pillar and made the vow to 271 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000 me. 272 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,400 Now arise, get out of this land and return to the land of your family. 273 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:41,680 One for you might be returning to God's will in surrendering. 274 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,240 It might be a location, it might be a ministry because treasure has a location. 275 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,280 Our text says a second thing, treasure has a timing. 276 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:57,520 Verse 12, to give the rain to your land in its season. 277 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,160 You see, God moves in seasons. 278 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,480 Genesis 8, 22, while the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, winter and 279 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,080 summer, day and night, it will never cease. 280 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,000 So this gives us perspective. 281 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,960 You say right now nothing's happening that you can see. 282 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,520 But seasons means something is being prepared. 283 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,320 The winter is coming to an end. 284 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,760 You look, there is nothing but under the ground. 285 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,700 Nothing is happening. 286 00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:34,800 That means you have to recognize seasons. 287 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,920 Farmers work with the seasons. 288 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,040 They're looking for signs of the seasons. 289 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:49,800 Luke 19, 44, Jesus said of Jerusalem, because you didn't know or recognize the time of your 290 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,800 visitation. 291 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,740 Listen, if you have a relationship with God, God will prompt you. 292 00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:57,560 You need to listen for the voice of God. 293 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,360 He will stir you. 294 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:02,700 He will deal with you. 295 00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:04,880 He will speak to you. 296 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:12,880 He tells us, deals with us to respond to ministry, perhaps to make a move, to pioneer, go overseas 297 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,040 or change ministry. 298 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,440 He deals with people. 299 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:23,940 I'm confident five times this week God has dealt with people to give. 300 00:21:23,940 --> 00:21:32,680 The woman with the alabaster box, Jesus said she recognized the season of giving and she 301 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,240 responded accordingly. 302 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,480 So prayer is the first way you store up treasure. 303 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,340 Giving stores up treasure. 304 00:21:43,340 --> 00:21:47,640 But I want to tell you, sometimes we can trigger the season. 305 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,560 The Bible does record this truth. 306 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,440 You can pray and sometimes it's not time and sometimes things are being prepared. 307 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,440 Yes, yes, yes. 308 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,960 But the Bible tells also of people that triggered a miracle dimension even out of time. 309 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,640 The Syrophoenician woman, I need you to come heal my demon possessed daughter. 310 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,440 And he talked about this food. 311 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,280 You don't give food to the puppies, to the dogs. 312 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,520 He was talking about non-Jews. 313 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,400 He says it's not time. 314 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,400 That's basically what she says. 315 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,240 That she pressed in and triggered a miracle for her daughter. 316 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:31,400 Elijah prayed for rain and nothing happened, but he pressed in until he saw a cloud the 317 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,000 size of a man's hand. 318 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,400 Pastor Fred Craddock tells a great story. 319 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,400 He was a pastor. 320 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:43,760 Said he was visiting someone in the hospital and he saw a woman banging on the chapel door 321 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,760 and she was shouting, let me in, let me in. 322 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,920 And he walked up to the woman and he asked what's the matter and she looked at him. 323 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,080 He said she looked like a crazy woman. 324 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,760 She said my husband, he's had a heart attack and he's going to die. 325 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,000 Then he said, well, I'm a pastor. 326 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000 Would you like me to pray? 327 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,740 And she said, yes. 328 00:23:02,740 --> 00:23:05,960 And so he began to pray one of those nice pastoral prayers. 329 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,720 Oh God in heaven. 330 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,120 I pray and he said, she interrupted me. 331 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,120 She took over. 332 00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:18,360 She said, Lord, this is not the time to take my husband. 333 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:19,360 He's not ready. 334 00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:21,560 He never prays or goes to church. 335 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:22,560 He's not ready. 336 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:23,560 Don't take him now. 337 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,880 And what about me? 338 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,200 She said, what am I going to do God? 339 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,600 I don't have any skills. 340 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,400 I can't find any work. 341 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,480 He said she was really talking to God. 342 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,240 She said, what about the kids? 343 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,760 They don't listen to me now when he's around. 344 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,800 If he's gone, they're going to be wild. 345 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,880 She said, this is not the time to take my husband. 346 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,520 He said, he kind of just watched that lady and walked away. 347 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,720 The next morning he came back and there was that same woman. 348 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,480 She looked much more calm, walked up and she smiled. 349 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,400 And she said, my husband, he's much better. 350 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,520 And she said, I guess the Lord heard one of us. 351 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:06,840 And he said, he heard you. 352 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,840 He heard you. 353 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,800 He said, that woman was desperate. 354 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,880 I love how he described it. 355 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,720 He said, she had God by the lapels with both hands. 356 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,200 It was crying God's face. 357 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,520 She triggered something. 358 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:26,600 Sometimes you can trigger a dimension in your life. 359 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,360 Let's talk finally about treasure surplus. 360 00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:35,760 I declare to you on this final night of conference, God's will for your life and your ministry 361 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,920 is abundant supply. 362 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,820 God's will is never that you have only just enough for yourself. 363 00:24:45,820 --> 00:24:49,920 There are people here you live paycheck to paycheck. 364 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,520 Your whole life you are waiting for payday because you are up to here. 365 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,800 You are barely, that is not God's will for your life. 366 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,920 There are churches here. 367 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,920 There are pastors here. 368 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,720 You pastor a church. 369 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:09,480 That church has been there for years and your church has absolutely no savings. 370 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,780 That is not God's will. 371 00:25:11,780 --> 00:25:14,580 You can't afford to plant churches, some of you. 372 00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:18,840 You can't afford to purchase buildings if one came available. 373 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,180 That is not God's will. 374 00:25:21,180 --> 00:25:31,000 Our text says God's will for our lives is blessing that has abundant supply so you can 375 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,960 be a conduit of blessing. 376 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:40,280 Verse 12, you shall lend to many nations but you shall not borrow. 377 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,480 This is not a banking issue. 378 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,840 He's not saying God's will for your life is to become a bank. 379 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,000 It's a blessing issue. 380 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,000 Genesis 12 to I will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing. 381 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,120 Listen, this is not just money. 382 00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:57,760 It's everything. 383 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,180 God wants you to have abundant fruitfulness in your church. 384 00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:06,800 God wants you to have more, not just Lord give us a convert. 385 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,280 He wants you to have abundant fruitfulness so you can send impact teams and help other 386 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,360 churches and other, in other places. 387 00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:23,660 He wants your church to have abundant ministries so that you can bless other churches and people 388 00:26:23,660 --> 00:26:26,480 in other places. 389 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,680 Our God has abundant resources. 390 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,120 Can you say amen? 391 00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,440 There are abundant treasures in heaven. 392 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,300 Think about when they're catching the fish. 393 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:44,840 They caught so many, the nets were breaking, so many fish that the boats were sinking. 394 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,300 Feeding the crowds, 5,000 men plus women plus children. 395 00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:58,320 After they all ate as much as they wanted, there were 12 baskets of food left over because 396 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,560 God has abundant resources. 397 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:08,000 And because God is abundant, He is willing to share His abundance with us. 398 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:15,500 Matthew 13, 12, whoever has to Him more will be given and He will have abundance. 399 00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,040 Abundance is God's will. 400 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:24,240 Philippians 4, 19, I quoted last night, my God shall supply all your need according to 401 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,240 His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 402 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:33,040 His riches in glory is talking about treasures in heaven. 403 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:42,700 But I love that the scripture says it is according to His riches or in line with or in measure. 404 00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:50,840 Think about Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and X, his net worth in 2024, he is worth 405 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,840 $235 billion. 406 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,100 2023, it was a slow year. 407 00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:06,340 He only made $97 billion last year. 408 00:28:06,340 --> 00:28:10,600 I want you to try to grasp how much money this man had. 409 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:16,080 Let's just take the 9, never mind the 235, $97 billion he made. 410 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:31,360 Elon Musk, every single day last year he made $265,753,424 every single day. 411 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:34,800 Elon Musk, we've been having church now a little over an hour. 412 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:44,040 Elon Musk has, he just made $12 million every single hour. 413 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Elon Musk makes $184,550 every minute. 414 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:54,200 He makes $3,836 per second. 415 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,740 That's the wealth that is staggering. 416 00:28:56,740 --> 00:29:04,420 So if you were to go to Elon and say, Elon, $10,000, could you give me $10,000 to you? 417 00:29:04,420 --> 00:29:07,400 That might be astronomical. 418 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,680 In fact, if you were to ask Elon for a million, so you can't even grasp how many zeros that 419 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:19,600 is, a million, that would not be according to his wealth. 420 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:25,520 Listen, I'm trying to get you to understand our God is abundant. 421 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,820 Elon Musk could supply so much more. 422 00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:35,320 If you understand God's abundance, he could do so much more in fruitfulness. 423 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:42,560 He could do so much more financially than you currently are experiencing in your life. 424 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,000 See what God wants is for us to enlarge our faith. 425 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,880 Our confidence needs to be in what God is willing to do and what he wants to do. 426 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:58,760 Ephesians 3 20, now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we 427 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,560 ask or think according to the power that works in us. 428 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,360 That verse says God can do more. 429 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:13,800 He can do more than you've ever asked for, even thought of asking for before Matthew 430 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:19,880 6 20, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither mob nor rust destroys 431 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,240 and thieves don't break it and steal. 432 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:29,760 The main point of Matthew 6 20 is of course making sure our hearts are aligned with God 433 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,320 concerning money instead of greed. 434 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:42,000 Yes, that is true, but when you put Matthew 6 20 treasure with Deuteronomy 28 12, treasures, 435 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,540 which you realize both words mean storehouse. 436 00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:52,200 This is not just talking about in the future when you die. 437 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:58,240 The treasure of heaven is meant to make a difference in your life right now. 438 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:05,200 It is faith that enables us to enter into the storehouse for current kingdom needs. 439 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:13,280 Let me ask how many pastors here in your church, you desperately need a building, either a 440 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,080 bigger building to rent or you need a building to buy right now. 441 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:25,000 And okay, and how many of you you have thought, but you lifted your hand, but you went, but 442 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,520 it's so expensive. 443 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,240 That's how we think, isn't it? 444 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,480 There's treasure in heaven, abundant resources. 445 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,160 I am not preaching a prosperity doctrine. 446 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,640 I could never be a prosperity. 447 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,640 Look at my hair. 448 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,640 I, I, it wouldn't work. 449 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,640 I don't have the hair. 450 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,640 I don't have the teeth. 451 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,640 I can't. 452 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,680 I, I, I, this is not prosperity. 453 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:59,920 I'm not Oprah Winfrey, a car for you and a car for you. 454 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,680 But we need our loved ones saved. 455 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,720 Is that right? 456 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:10,040 We need treasure in heaven to save our families. 457 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,740 We need converts. 458 00:32:12,740 --> 00:32:14,960 We need disciples. 459 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,200 We need buildings to facilitate God's will. 460 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,880 Verse 12, rain, rain causes the seed to grow. 461 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,320 Listen, you have outreach and outreach and outreach. 462 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,640 There is past seed. 463 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,960 You have witnessed to your family or your friends again and again. 464 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,640 That seed has been laying there. 465 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,260 You've walked away thinking it does no good. 466 00:32:39,260 --> 00:32:46,400 God said, I want to rain upon the seed to produce fruit. 467 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,540 We need a multiplication of ministries in order to be a blessing. 468 00:32:50,540 --> 00:32:57,080 We need a mighty outpouring of resources to accomplish God's will in the earth. 469 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:02,280 Final thought, the key to releasing treasures in heaven is obedience. 470 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:08,500 Deuteronomy 28 is a chapter contrasting obedience and disobedience. 471 00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:15,460 God says if you will obey, he will open his good treasure in heaven. 472 00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:18,000 Obedience is a posture of life. 473 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,040 God, we belong to you. 474 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,120 I live for you and I live for your will. 475 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,180 We don't attend church occasionally because we need something. 476 00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:33,840 The posture of our life, we should wake up in the morning saying, God, I want to do your 477 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,760 will. 478 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:41,320 This means that God can speak to us whatever, whenever, whether that's going, staying, 479 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,560 witnessing, getting involved, giving, praying, praying for people, sending, whatever it might 480 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,800 be. 481 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,440 Genesis 22, 16 through 18, he said, by myself I've sworn, says the Lord, because you've 482 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:58,800 done this, not withheld your son, your only son, in blessing I will bless you multiplying. 483 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,520 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven, as the sand which is on the 484 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:09,560 seashore, and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies in your seat. 485 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:15,200 All the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed my voice. 486 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,360 I close with this story. 487 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:26,560 The man that you saw pray tonight, Pastor Rungy Pohl, he pastors in Napier, New Zealand. 488 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:35,400 Last year I think it was, I was in New Zealand preaching in the conference. 489 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:41,560 He picked me up, we're riding in the car, and Pastor Rungy asked me, he said, we need 490 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:48,680 a building, our building is way too small, but I also want to go full time as a pastor. 491 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:55,120 So he said, Pastor Greg, which one should be a greater priority that I should go for 492 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,120 first? 493 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,160 Being a full time pastor or for a building? 494 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:06,680 And I told Rungy, I said, surely if God created the heavens and the earth, surely God could 495 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,680 do both. 496 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,400 Do you think God's in heaven? 497 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:17,360 Like, oh man, I don't know, that's just, I said, why don't you ask God for both? 498 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:23,440 He went to a conference sometime after that, was challenged in the offering, he and his 499 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:30,880 wife, they decided to give, God spoke to them and they were challenged not only to give 500 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:36,900 in the offering, but said they had a spare vehicle at home, we're going to sell that 501 00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:39,360 and we're going to give it as well. 502 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:46,800 And when he decided to give, he and his wife said they're going to give, he prayed and 503 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,880 he said, God, we need a building and we want to go full time. 504 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,640 That was what they agreed. 505 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,280 Six weeks later, he saw a building that had been damaged, thought I need to ask about 506 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,640 that building, called the landlord, the landlord said, I'm at the building right now, someone's 507 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,880 come in and vandalized it, I'm cleaning up the damage. 508 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,880 Rungy went to the building and he asked this man, he said, would you like some help cleaning 509 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,880 up? 510 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:14,880 And he said, yes. 511 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,880 He quickly rung around numbers of men from his church, he said, hurry up, right, get 512 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,800 to this building right now, we're going to clean up. 513 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:28,920 I'm going to tell you, Rungy has some radical converts, gang member, tatted out, absolutely. 514 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:36,440 And so this nice white man who's working away, these gangsters descend and they start working 515 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:42,600 and they start telling their testimony of what Jesus had done for them. 516 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:49,400 And man, when they finished cleaning the building, Rungy told him, he said, you know, we really 517 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,840 need a building for our ministry. 518 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,640 And the man said, leave it with me. 519 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,180 Two days later, he called Rungy and he said, meet me at the building. 520 00:36:58,180 --> 00:37:06,040 When he came to the, met the man at the building, this man handed him the keys and he said, 521 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:15,080 I spoke to the trust and they agree, you can have the building for free as long as you 522 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,080 like. 523 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,920 Put the picture up on the board here. 524 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:28,560 This is the building. 525 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:35,160 This is a building 6,000 square feet plus two basketball courts. 526 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,880 He's going to have ex gangsters who are very fit now. 527 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,980 And it'll be good. 528 00:37:41,980 --> 00:37:43,600 Next picture. 529 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,480 Look at the inside. 530 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,000 They needed to fix this up. 531 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,320 Now listen, not only did they give him the building for free, it needed to be fixed up. 532 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,640 You saw the outside of this building needed some work. 533 00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:01,640 And so the church, Pastor Rungy and the church, they put some money in, the trust gave them 534 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:09,880 $15,000 to fix up the building that they were giving them for free. 535 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:15,760 Praise God. 536 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:22,080 And because they now don't have to pay rent, Pastor Rungy was immediately able to go full 537 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,080 time. 538 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:35,920 And not only do they have a building, he's able to go full time because of God's blessing 539 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:41,480 financially they were
