Your life is not stuck because the Lord has said
no to your prayer. Or your life is stuck because
you cannot yet carry what you're asking for right
now. Wow. So there are opportunities, there are
resources, there are blessings hovering over
you, but they're not waiting for your prayers
to get louder. They're waiting for your capacity
to get stronger. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to
pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome
to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that
promise outpouring, we equip for that outpouring,
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome
to the podcast today. This one is a bombshell.
We have with us our dear, beloved... papa we
think of him as a papa he's an apostle to us
he's a bishop to us he's a pastor to us his name
is tony camp and he's been doing things with
us for several years now being a speaker at our
conventions and various other things that we've
done with him and he has been waiting on the
lord the last few months well he's just taken
some time off and god has been giving him downloads
of new messages that he's going to be bringing
as he travels he's starting to travel soon and
so he's going to be a speaker at our convention
and he's giving us a teaser of what i'm thinking
he's probably going to preach something else
but this is going to help us prepare for what
god has for us in these days that we're living
in because he's explaining to us how the things
that we're waiting for are being held back for
our good because we're not quite ready to bear
the weight or to hold the capacity. So God has
given him an outline for how to increase your
capacity. It's called the Capacity Code. We're
so glad that you're with us today. Thank you
so much for tuning into this podcast. And we're
excited about doing these video podcasts. This
is a whole new thing for us. And each time we're
trying to increase a little bit and improve a
little bit. So thank you so much for being patient
with us while we're doing this. But in the meantime,

on Convention 2026, because that is coming up
soon, May 21st through 24th. Pastor Tony is going
to be one of our speakers, and it's going to
be an amazing, life -changing time. And it's
an opportunity for you to begin to develop relationships
with people that have a similar calling on their
lives that you do. It's wonderful to be able
to find your tribe. That's one of the things
that God's going to be doing at this time. So
make your plans. There's a place to click on
on that event tab to make reservations at the
Hilton Hotel. There's a place for you to register
for the convention and just make your plans to
be there with us. Pastor Tony Kemp, we are so
happy to have you with us. Thank you so much
for joining us on the Global Outpouring Podcast.
The pleasure is all mine. It's good to be with
you and it's good to see you and Philip again.
Oh, yes. Good to see you. Yes, we are delighted
to have you with us. We've been trying for a
long time to get you on this podcast, and you've
been so busy because you travel all the time.
You're a pastor's pastor, and you've got a circuit
that doesn't quit. But thankfully, with the weather
that has come recently, you had some free time
on your hands so you could join us. So we're
really happy. A forced free time. Amen. Amen.
Well, I'm glad to be with you. So we're looking
forward to having you again with us at the convention,
Convention 2026. And you've been with us for
a number of conventions now. I haven't figured
out exactly how many, but quite a few. And you
always bring the house down when you come. It's
just wonderful. So first of all, what can you
tell our listeners or our viewers about this
convention? Why should they come? I think it's
going to be very, very exciting. I think it's
going to be very informative, very revelatory.
I think it could be literally life -changing.
I believe that there will be impartation. I think
that there will be an acceleration. of truth
and heavenly realities. And I think it will be
extremely helpful, not only for those who attend
that are looking for more of the Father and Jesus
and the Holy Spirit, but I think that there will
be some keys to increase greater productivity
and effectiveness in the work that they're called
to do. So I think it's going to be amazing. I
think it's going to be beautiful. I think it's
going to be... powerful. So as always, first,
I'm thankful that you keep inviting me and I'm
looking forward to seeing what the Holy Spirit
is going to do in that meeting, in those meetings.
Amen. Amen. And, you know, a lot of those things
that you just said can be gotten by the live
stream that we'll be doing on Facebook and YouTube,
but impartation doesn't necessarily come all
across the cyberspace very well. No, I think
if it's at all possible, a person could be there.
I think that that's definitely the best way because
of the atmosphere. And, you know, you can catch
some things because you're in the atmosphere
of heaven. And, you know, that's just, you know,
extraordinary. And I think that it will cause
people to have an advancement. I think that there'll
be breakthroughs. I think that people can catch
something in the atmosphere when you're just
there. You know, there's nothing like being there.
That's always preferable if it's possible. Amen.
Amen. So just for information's sake, we'll be
at. the Hilton Hotel by the airport in St. Louis,
St. Louis, Missouri, May 21st through 24th, 2026.
And Pastor Tony is one of our keynote speakers,
and Dean Braxton will be with us, and I'll be
speaking. Also, we have Anna Werner. What can
you tell us about Anna? Because you're the one
who recommended that we have her, and we're going
to have her on a podcast soon as well. Anna Werner
is a... young woman saved for a very, very long
time, speaks fluent Portuguese because she did
missionary work in Brazil. Her husband speaks
one of the Indian languages. I'm not sure which
one. And so they were also in India. And she
more recently, I know, has been in Iceland. And
of course, she's been in Europe, travels extensively
throughout the United States. She is a first
class seer. And I mean, she sees really, really
well. She has a profound healing ministry, very
strong discerning of spirits, word of knowledge,
prophecy. If I can say this, she's not at all
political. Her focus is on the church and what
the Lord Jesus wants to say and do in the church.
And so she's very, very gifted. A little bit
like Johnny Cash. He's been everywhere, man.
You know, I mean, everybody knows her. Everybody
knows her from Marilyn Hickey to Sid Roth to,
I mean, you know, she moves in. Yeah, it's pretty
amazing. So we've done lots of meetings together.
She's just amazing. Patricia King, everybody,
like I said, everybody pretty much knows her.
Wonderful. I'm glad she's joining us. Yes. She
does mentoring. I think she's going to draw some
young people or those that are younger than us.
Whatever that means. So we also have Claren McQueen,
who's going to be speaking. And he's going to
be our Israel Night speaker. And he has such
a depth of. anointing about Israel and lived
there for a number of years. And he's also one
of our top worship leaders. We're also having
Molly Williams as a worship leader. She was one
of our youth. Yeah, she was one of our youth
many years ago. And three o 'clock session. So
we're really excited. to have this wonderful
mix of worshipers and people coming in from the
nations. We're expecting lots of nations to be
showing up. I love the fact that Anna has this
heart for the nations as well. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Wonderful. We'll be having her on this podcast
soon. We're working on the timing. So what is
the Lord speaking to you about? these days that
you're going to be bringing? Can you give us
like a little teaser? Well, here's what I can
do. There's so many messages, but I think I'll
do some teaching. Can I do some teaching now?
Yes, please. To give people kind of a preview?
Okay. Yes. And so I want to teach on something
that I think is unique that I really feel like
the Lord brought me into. I kind of quit traveling
around the first week of November. And so I was
basically home or speaking in my area, month
of November, December, you know, even in the
first part of January. And so I have several
new messages that the Lord has brought me into
that I think are unique and I think can assist
people. So I want to spend some time teaching
one of those. And I think it's interesting. I've
given it a title because, you know, that's what
we preachers do. But the title of it is the Capacity
Code. And so, yeah, it's the Capacity Code. And
so I'll go ahead and start, okay? Please, please.
If you decide to teach something else when you
get with us, that's fine. We can have multiple
messages here. Oh, I've got, yeah, I've got many,
many. Many, many new messages. And this will
give people a little taste. They will have an
advantage just by hearing this on this podcast.
And who knows what will happen in May. I mean,
I have so many messages that are new. And I'm
sure the Lord will bring me into something new
before I get there. So it will depend upon what's
hot. Amen. I'm going to go ahead and get started,
and I've had to write this down because of the
nature of the message. And so I'm going to start.
Are you ready? Go for it. I'm ready. Okay. So
this is called the Capacity Code, and this is
how it begins. Your life is not stuck because
the Lord has said no to your prayer. Your life
is stuck because you cannot yet carry what you're
asking for right now. So there are opportunities,
there are resources, there are blessings hovering
over you, but they're not waiting for your prayers
to get louder. They're waiting for your capacity
to get stronger. So the Father is not testing
people's desire. What the Father is looking at
is your personal church, ministry, business infrastructure.
For example, for those that are in business,
You're not really waiting for wealth. The wealth
that the Father wants to give you is waiting
for a version of you that will not collapse under
the weight of what the Father has prepared for
you. Okay? So this is what is going on mostly.
Many people are spending years praying and asking
the Father for more money, better relationships,
greater opportunities. while completely ignoring
the question that the Father's asking. Let me
give you some of those questions. One, can you
handle what you're asking for? Can you handle
it emotionally? Can you handle it spiritually?
And very importantly, can you handle it structurally?
Can your current systems, boundaries, and internal
architecture sustain the blessings that you're
requesting? It is time to examine the capacity
code, and this is very, very important, that
governs every aspect of the provision, the presence,
and the power of God. During this message, you're
going to have some understanding of exactly why
the answer to your prayer has been delayed. And
importantly, you're going to have a blueprint
to build the internal structure that makes increase
inevitable. So the modern world has sold you
a deception and a lie. It tells you to dream
bigger, ask for more, manifest more abundance,
visualize success. But the word of wisdom from
the throne operates completely differently. And
here's the reality. What you cannot manage, the
Father cannot multiply. What you cannot sustain,
the Lord Jesus will not provide. And this is
not punishment. This is protection. Increase
without infrastructure is not a blessing because
if it's given to you too early and you're not
ready for it, you will sabotage yourself. So
let me ask you to think about this. Think about
the last time you asked the father for something
significant. More income, a better relationship,
a new opportunity. But I want you to consider
what you're actually praying for. For some people,
this is true. And I want to lay this before people.
And I think it's going to be very challenging.
But anytime you hear this message or any message,
you know, you receive the word of God for yourself.
But also, a number of you are ministers. So you
could take this message and you can apply it
to whoever the Holy Spirit gives it to. For example,
there are people. They want increase in results
without a willingness to have an increase in
responsibility. Others want a blessing without
the added burden that the blessing is going to
bring. Some want added gifting without the growth
required to steward it properly. And so when
your prayer is not answered, you question the
goodness of God instead of examining your own
capacity. Okay? Wow. So here's what Jesus sees
when you pray for increase. Jesus looks at your
current financial discipline. Jesus sees how
you handle pressure. Jesus looks at your emotional
regulation under stress. Jesus looks at your
boundary management. Jesus looks at your time
stewardship. And Jesus looks at your relationship
patterns. And this part is very, very important.
Based upon what the Lord Jesus observes, he calculates
exactly how much you can carry without breaking.
And this is really, really important. So the
calculation determines your current ceiling.
how high you can go, how far you can go. And
this ceiling, by the way, is not arbitrary. It
is architectural. It is built from your habits,
from your systems, or your spiritual or emotional
capacity. And your emotional capacity is just
as important as your spiritual capacity. It's
also built from your maturity and your ability
to handle responsibility without. collapsing.
This also includes your mental energy, your emotional
energy, your physical energy. And so all of these
things are factored in and considered by the
Father in Jesus. So once a person understands
this, things begin to change. You start praying
for the Father to give you more, and you start
building more capacity. You stop waiting for
the blessing of Jesus, and you start creating
the vessel that the blessing can fill. And so
when you comprehend the principle of the code
of capacity, you understand the laws that govern
divine provision. And so these are not suggestions.
They're not just good concepts. These are operational
principles that determine whether or not the
Father releases resources into your life. or
withholds them for your protection. So the first
law I want to talk about here is the law of vessels,
okay? So in other words, blessing takes the shape
of the container. So in the second book of Kings,
we encounter Elijah and the widow who comes to
him in desperation. And here is the situation.
The man, the woman's husband who passed, was
a son of the prophet. When he passed, he left
his wife in debt. She had two sons, and the creditor
came and said, unless you can pay me, I'm going
to take your two sons. And, of course, she's
a widow. She has no way of generating an income.
And so she was absolutely at the bottom of her
capacity in order to be able to survive. So she
goes to Elijah, the head prophet, and presents
her situation. And he asked her the strangest
question. what do you have in your house? And
of course, she eventually replies. I think at
first she thought, I don't have anything. And
then she thought about it. And she said, you
know, I've got a pot of oil. Okay. And it's a
small jar of oil. And this is very, very important.
Although your beginning is small. yet in the
latter day you shall greatly increase. And the
scripture says, do not despise the day of small
beginnings. So then what the prophet does is
he gives her an instruction that seemed very
unusual. Go borrow vessels from your neighbors,
empty vessels, as many as you can gather, and
then take that little bit of oil you have and
begin to pour into the vessels. And even though
the instruction made no logical sense, the woman
obeyed. She gathered vessels from every neighbor.
She filled her home with empty containers. And
she took what she had, and she began to pour.
Now, here's what's interesting, because remember,
we're talking about the law of vessels. We're
talking about the capacity code. The oil flowed
until every vessel was full, not one drop. In
other words, the blessing matched exactly the
capacity she prepared. Wow. Her provision was
not limited by the Father's resources, but by
her own preparation for receiving. She could
have gathered 50 vessels. She could have gathered
150 vessels. We don't know. But here's the code.
The code reveals the oil would have filled whatever
capacity she created. And this is how divine
provision operates in your life right now. The
father gives you the blessing. The father gives
you the opportunity to receive the blessing only
equal to the capacity that you have built. Wow.
So that means that my income is not limited by
the economy. It is limited by the wisdom of God
in my financial vessel. My relationships are
not limited by available people. My relationships
are limited by my emotional vessel. My opportunities
are not limited by the market. They are limited
by my professional vessel. So most people who
pray for increase, however, live in a vessel.
that has been designed for scarcity, okay? So
it is your belief system about scarcity that
may get in the way of the wisdom and the wealth
of heaven that Jesus has purchased. Ephesians
1 and 11 says, in Christ you have obtained an
inheritance, so it's there for you, okay? So
this is one of the things I think that's happening
right now, and I think it's very unconscious.
That happens to us. People want abundance to
flow into systems that are built for survival.
They want wealth to pour into financial habits
that are designed for poverty. They want healthy
relationships to flourish in emotional patterns
designed for dysfunction. And then they wonder
why their prayers are unanswered. This is what
I want to bear on. The father is ready to pour,
but the vessel is not yet ready. for what it's
asking for. However, we can get ready. So I want
to begin with the sort of the diagnosis of the
challenge. So that's law number one, and that
is the law of vessels. Law number two is the
law of weight. And here's the code, okay? Whenever
the father gives a gift, he gives a responsibility
along with the gift, okay? So that every blessing
Jesus... has purchased carries weight. Every
increase comes with additional pressure. Every
promotion brings new demands. So this is why
it's important. If the responsibility crushes
you, the gift is not a blessing. It's a burden
you're not yet ready to carry, okay? Consider
the businessman who prays for a million -dollar
contract. and then cannot sleep once he gets
it because he has never prepared his mind or
his systems to manage that level of financial
increase and responsibility. Consider the woman
who wants to be married and then feels trapped
when she must consider another person in her
every decision. Consider the employee who wants
a promotion and then crumbles under the pressure
of now having to lead others. So these are not
success stories. What they are are capacity failures.
So what happens is this. The father evaluates
your readiness for increase, not your desire
for it, but your current performance under smaller
weights. So how do you handle the pressure you
already have? How do you manage the responsibilities
that are currently on your plate? How do you
respond to the circumstances that require you
to stretch beyond your comfort zone? Your answers
to these questions determine what the Father
can safely place in your hands. So, this truth
will transform your approach to increase. Instead
of you asking the Father for gifts, realize that
you're asking Him to increase your capacity,
so that you can be trusted with greater responsibility.
And trust is earned through demonstrated competence,
okay, under current circumstances. Now, let me
say this because it's important for those that
are in business. The person who cannot manage
1 ,000 cannot be trusted with a $100 ,000 opportunity.
The person who collapses under a current relationship
demand may not be ready for marriage. The person
who avoids responsibility in small areas cannot
be promoted into larger areas of influence. This
is why in the capacity code, the law of weight
operates as protection, not punishment. So the
father withholds whatever would destroy you.
and releases to you whatever you can steward
successfully. So your current capacity is not
an insult to your potential. It is accurate assessment
of your present ability to carry weight without
breaking. Okay? So the father makes the man before
he makes the minister. In regards to this, let's
say a mentor gives the man a ministry before
he's ready. There will likely be mismanagement.
Many times leaders promote people based upon
potential, not upon actual performance of their
responsibilities. So one of the worst things
that can happen to a man is to be promoted before
he's ready. So in Luke 12, 48, to everyone much
has been given, much will be demanded, right?
To everyone much has been given, Jesus said much
will be required. So Matthew 25, verses 14 through
30 reveal this. When a person receives gifts
from the Father, that person is responsible to
use those gifts wisely. If a person uses those
gifts wisely, they will be commended by God,
but if they are negligent, they will be condemned
by God. Now, this is a stern word, but it needs
to be paid attention to. So now watch this. So
as a result, many times the Father will not give
a person what they're asking for. to save them
from condemnation. The Father will give them
what they can handle so that he can commend them.
This is very, very important for us to get a
hold of. Okay? So in 1 Corinthians 4 and 2, the
Holy Spirit says, it's required among stewards
that a man be found faithful. The very fact that
the Holy Spirit says found faithful means that
the Holy Spirit has to search for a person who
is faithful. That means that faithfulness of
this kind is rare and must be sought after. But
the definition of a steward, according to the
Greek text, is a person who finds out what the
father wants done, how he wants it done, and
does it the way the father wants for it to be
done. So a steward is a manager, one who administrates
and distributes the goods of the father. And
in each one of these scriptures, you see faithfulness,
you see character, you see wisdom, and you see
maturity. So Romans 8 .14 says, as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons
of God. And by the way, the Greek word here for
sons has to do with the level of maturity. So
the Holy Spirit wants to lead you into wisdom,
to character, and maturity so that you can store
properly the gifts of the Father in the name
of the Lord Jesus. So Romans 14 and 12 says this,
the Holy Spirit says, each one of us will give
an account of ourselves to the father, highlighting
personal responsibility. So now let's get to
the third principle of the capacity code. And
this is the law of expansion. Okay. So now this
part's important. The father increases provision.
This means everything you need for life. and
business and relationships and ministry. The
Father increases provision, everything you need,
only to the degree that you expand your own identity,
your discipline, and your boundaries. In other
words, provision follows preparation. Prayer
empowers you through the Holy Spirit and assists
you with your preparation. It is when you pray
according to the word of God and you receive
the wisdom of the Holy Spirit that you can come
to understand that increase does not follow good
intentions. Increase follows Holy Spirit, God
-given infrastructures that you have allowed
to be built into your life. So you have to do
more than pray your way into capacity. You have
to build your way into capacity. And by the way,
this takes time and it doesn't happen overnight.
And all of us need more capacity. All right.
So identity expansion means you see yourself
according to the word of God. And this part's
very important as well. And as a person who is
already operating at the level that you're seeking.
Okay. So. Let me say it like this. A person asking
for wealth while identifying as broke will sabotage
every opportunity for increase. The person requesting
respect while identifying as a victim will unconsciously
maintain patterns that invite disrespect. The
person wanting promotion while identifying as
inadequate will find ways to prove that their
inadequacy is a fact, even though it may not
necessarily be true. So your perceived identity
is your internal thermostat. It will not allow
your external results to exceed your internal
personal concept for long. So discipline expansion
means building systems that can operate at the
level you want to reach. The person wanting financial
abundance must first build discipline around
current income. The person wanting relational
harmony must first build discipline around emotional
regulation. The person wanting professional success
must first build discipline around current responsibilities.
And discipline is the result of following Jesus,
as you already know. Luke 9 .23 says this, Jesus
says, Whoever will come after me, let him deny
himself, discipline himself, take up his cross,
and follow me. Discipline means to say no to
the self -life and yes to the life of Jesus by
the Holy Spirit. It is to build holy capacity
in your life so you can receive all that the
Father has for you. Now, I can tell you for a
fact, I'm not there. I'm not there. I need more
preparation in my vessel. I need more preparation
to be able to carry more weight. You know, it's
interesting. You know, Jesus said in the Gospel
of John, you know, you have chapters 13, 14,
15, 16 before he does his famous prayer in chapter
17. And Jesus at one point says to the disciples,
I have many more things to you, many more things
to say to you, but you can't bear it right now.
And in the Greek, it means you're not yet ready
to stand up under the weight of it. Wow. And
so in terms of a personal expansion or identity
expansion, in the book of Acts, chapter 20, verse
32, it says this. Paul says this, I commend you
to God and to the word of his grace, which is
able to build you up and make you strong and
enable you to receive your inheritance among
those that the Lord has made holy. So the word
of God builds my personal capacity. And so then,
you know, Jeremiah says, your words were found
and I did eat them. And your words were the joy
and the rejoicing of my heart. So the word of
God builds your personal capacity. It's not just
the logos. It's not just the general word. It's
the ramus, the specific word that you need at
a specific point in time that builds an internal
structure that enables you to be an overcomer.
And then, of course, you know, these are other
scriptures that we all know. 1 Corinthians 14
says, he who speaks in a tongue speaks to God,
and he who speaks in a tongue builds up himself.
Again, spiritual infrastructure. Jude 20, verse
20, build yourself up on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Spirit. So the law of vessels,
the law of weight, the law of expansion. This
whole concept of identity expansion is the result
of obeying the father in Jesus. Okay. So in John
chapter 15, verse 20, Jesus said, remember the
word that I said unto you, a servant is not greater
than his master. Jesus said in Matthew 10, 24,
a disciple is not above his teacher. Servant
is not above his master. The Lord Jesus goes
on to say, but every disciple who's fully trained,
and again, trained into your full capacity, will
be like his teacher. Every servant who reaches
maturity will be like his master. You see this
in Luke 6, verse 40 and Matthew 10, 25. So your
discipleship to the Lord Jesus builds an internal
structure that can carry the weight of responsibility.
that can reveal the knowledge, the wisdom, and
the glory of God. And I think we have to remember
that we're all on a continuum, okay? We all have
days where we could carry greater or lesser weight,
okay? Depending upon our spiritual nutrition
or malnutrition, okay? Our diligence and our
neglect. And, you know, all of us have those
days or times or maybe even weeks. where we're
doing better than others, okay? And so this is
not for you to condemn yourself or judge yourself.
It is just a tool of self -assessment. And so
in 1 John 4, verse 17, the Holy Spirit says,
as Jesus is, so are we in this world. In other
words, identity expansion is the result of following
Jesus, and you become like the one you follow.
So when you exercise the discipline of Jesus
at your current level, it is now proof of your
readiness to reach the next level in Jesus. Boundary
expansion means you're learning to say no to
good things so you can say yes to great things.
So the person with no boundaries cannot. be trusted
with new opportunities because they dissipate
their energy across too many priorities. And
this is a tough one because, you know, sometimes
we sacrifice the most important for the immediate.
Okay. And sometimes other people's crisis become
our emergency. Because we care about people,
and sometimes we have so, so many things we're
paying attention to. Sometimes the urgent takes
the place of that which is really most critical.
All this stuff just pops up on us, okay? And
sometimes we get distracted by it. And so it
takes us away from what we really, really need
to focus on. And this happens to all of us. Pretty
much. I mean, there may be a very, very minuscule
or a small percentage of people. It doesn't happen
to. But most of us get distracted. And, you know,
the scripture in Hebrews 12 that says looking
unto Jesus in the Greek, it means looking away
from all that distracts. Wow. For those of us
who have, how shall I say this, attention deficit
issues or are highly distracted. issues with
maintaining focus, this becomes even a greater
challenge. So I just wanted to mention that.
You know, what's funny is as I'm preaching to
you, I'm preaching to me too, okay? And sometimes,
you know, you preach it to learn it yourself.
And so the person who cannot protect their time
cannot be given more time, okay? The person who
cannot protect their energy will not be given
more demanding responsibilities. So these three
expansions happen in order. Number one, identity
creates the framework. Number two, discipline
builds the structure. Number three, boundaries
protect the investment. Wow. And when all three
expansions are complete, vision flows supernaturally.
Not because the father just suddenly decides
to bless you. but because you have become the
kind of son or daughter that the blessings will
now gravitate toward. I think this is really,
really important. And so what does it do there?
What does it do? It exposes, as I'm giving you
this message, some painful patterns that reveal
capacity limitations. You know, put on your seatbelt
because this might describe your current situation.
And this exposure is not meant to shame you.
It is meant to diagnose exactly where your capacity
building must focus. So you may have a person
who's praying for business success, but they're
not managing their current income. You want more
money to flow in while money flows out uncontrolled.
You need to work on your budget, develop a tracking
system, a conscious relationship with the resources
already in your hands. You must get ready for
the Father to give you greater financial responsibility.
So the person who can govern small amounts can
be blessed with larger amounts. And so in order
to receive promotion, there must be a greater
acceptance of responsibility. The reality is
there are people who cannot govern small amounts
and therefore put themselves in a position where
they cannot be blessed with larger amounts. There
are people who want promotion but avoid responsibility.
There are people who want the title, the salary,
the recognition, but not the pressure, the decisions,
the accountability that comes with leadership.
There are people who complain about their current
position while demonstrating exactly while they're
not yet ready. for a hiring. Here's the thing.
Promotion is not a reward for longevity. It's
a recognition of capacity. So the person who
avoids responsibility at their current level
will be crushed by responsibility at the next
level. Remember... Jesus will not give you something
you're not ready for because at the end of the
day, he does not want you to be crushed or condemned
by it. He gives you what you can handle so you
can be commended by God. Okay. So the person
who asked for abundance, but leaks money emotionally
will not get more because every feeling becomes
a purchase. Okay. Every mood becomes a spending
decision. All right. Now, I know this is very,
very challenging, but the word of the Lord sometimes
needs to be life changing. Every stress becomes
a shopping trip. So there are people who use
money to manage emotions rather than using wisdom
to manage money. And so your financial life is
determined by your emotional life, which means
you're not governing either one. So when you
become disciplined in your spending, abundance
comes into your hands, as well as financial freedom
by the Father's grace. So when you, by the grace
of God, govern your emotions, you govern yourself,
and you honor yourself as well as the Father.
You set boundaries around your own reactions.
I know these things are difficult, okay? Because
I think some of us, we really have issues with
impulsivity. Some of us, we make our mistakes
when we act in frustration. Some of us, we err
when we are angry. And so sometimes, like I say,
the challenge is emotional regulation. And sometimes
we leap before we look and we jump to conclusions.
Of course, then we have rationalizations for
our actions. You know, I think there's a very
interesting thing that happens in Scripture.
Mary is promised to Joseph to marry, and she
ends up pregnant. And anybody who looks at that
situation would say, okay, she's been with someone.
But the Bible says in the book of Matthew that
while Joseph, quote, thought on these things,
he pushed the pause button. He had emotional
regulation. He did not jump to what would be
an obvious conclusion to make. He stopped, he
looked, and he listened for the voice of God.
And he thought to put her away privately and
not expose her publicly. While he thought on
these things, the angel of the Lord appears to
him and says, hey, go ahead and take Mary as
your wife. That which is conceived in her is
the Holy Spirit. And so I can look back and I
can safely say with a great deal of accuracy,
whenever I have made a decision to act impulsively,
I usually had to repent. Whenever I've made a
decision because I acted out of anger, I've had
to repent. Whenever I've made a decision and
I acted out of frustration, I've had to repent.
And whenever I have jumped to a conclusion or
really did not think that thing through completely,
I've had to repent. And trust me, I've had to
do a lot of repenting. Haven't we all? It's just
the truth anyhow. All right. So you have to set
boundaries around your own reactions. Here's
the other thing. You have to treat yourself well.
You have to honor yourself. When you treat yourself
well and when you honor yourself in terms of
taking care of yourself, as the Bible says, you
honor the Father. And what's interesting is the
better you treat yourself in obedience to the
word of God, people will treat you better. You
don't have to demand respect, okay? You respect
yourself by the grace of God, and other people
will begin to respect you too. So here is a practical
capacity expansion, okay? That's what this is.
It's a blueprint. It's not theory. It is architecture,
okay? So these steps will build internal infrastructure
that makes increase inevitable. You won't need
to modify them. You don't need to skip steps.
You don't need to add complexity. Follow them
as designed. Number one, create a boundary. Choose
one area where you currently have no limits and
establish a clean boundary, a time boundary,
a money boundary, an energy boundary. The boundary
must be specific. It must be measurable. It must
be non -negotiable. under extreme or extraordinary
circumstances, like a legitimate emergency. Examples.
I will not spend more than this amount on entertainment
each month. I will give this amount of time to
the Word of God and to prayer. Step two, and
this is a big one. I will eliminate one area
of chaos. Okay? That's good. Okay. I will identify.
Areas of my life that drain my energy without
creating value. I will identify areas of my life
that drain my energy because of toxic relationships.
I will identify and distance myself from time
-wasting activities. I will identify and distance
myself from disorganized systems. I will clean
up my personal environment. I will not do this
just temporarily. I'll do it permanently. Because
I understand that my capacity increases when
my chaos decreases. And I want to make that statement
again. I understand that my capacity increases
when my chaos decreases. I know in my own personal
experience, there have been people that I have
loved, but I noticed that they could not go where
the Lord was taking me. And I noticed that when
I left those people, my capacity increased. And
so sometimes you have to identify who's supposed
to be in your life permanently and who's supposed
to be in your life temporarily. Why are they
there? It's interesting. Some people, when they
exit your life, your capacity increases. Some
people that the Lord brings into your life, your
capacity increases. And so number three, I realized
I could not build a foundation. on a foundation
that's currently shifting. So I have to build
a system. I will create a structure that operates
whether I feel like it or not. I will build a
budget system, an exercise system. I need to
do that one. That's one I'm really struggling
with, particularly because we've pretty much
been slowed in here for a while. And I will build
a learning system. I got to work on my exercise
system a whole lot more. The system has to be
simple enough to maintain and effective enough
to produce results. So I understand that the
system replaces willpower. Oh, that's good. This
is a big deal. Yeah. And when I have a system,
I do not have to rely upon motivation because
I have found that there are times when I literally
just don't have the motivation. I just don't
have it. I can't find it, and it's missing in
action, and it's hiding from me. I get it. Okay?
So I have to rely upon structure, and I have
to measure my progress over time. So I have to
practice the system consistently and constantly
and faithfully. Number four, I have to measure
something consistently. And here's why, and I
think this part's important, at least it is for
me. What gets measured is what gets managed,
okay? So I have to choose a metric that reflects
my progress toward increased capacity. Money
saved, weight loss scales developed, time -protected
books, reading, I have to check the measurement.
either daily or weekly because measurement creates
accountability and accountability creates improvement.
So I will begin to feel better when I am able
to mark some progress. Step five, I will accept
responsibility without complaining. Now that's
a tough one right there. So I will find one area
where I've been making excuses and take full
ownership. I will stop complaining why things
are my fault. Okay. Or somebody else's fault.
I prefer that one, quite frankly. And I will
start determining how things can become my responsibility.
So responsibility is the foundation of authority.
I can lead what I own. I can improve what I accept
as mine to manage. And I will do so by the help
of God. Step six, and I'm coming to a close now.
I will practice delayed gratification intentionally.
When I see something I want, I will deliberately
wait before getting it, not because I can't afford
it, but because I'm training myself to want without
needing to desire, to want without demanding
it, to prefer without requiring. Okay? And so,
yeah, there, I do want it, I desire it, I prefer
it, but I'm going to say no to it just to practice
the delay of self -gratification. I understand
that delayed gratification builds internal...
Strength. Immediate gratification builds internal
weakness. Okay? Step seven. I will do one action
daily that my future can inherit. I want to say
that again. I will do one action daily that enables
me to inherit my future. I'll build something.
I'll learn something. I'll create something.
I'll save something. I'll develop something that
adds to my long -term capacity instead of just
meeting short -term desires. Okay? So these seven
steps will work because they address my real
issue. By the help of God, I'm designing systems
that can sustain the blessing. I'm building capacity
systematically so the blessing will appear supernaturally.
And so I'm going to change my ability to receive
what the Father is ready to give. Now, let me
summarize three objections that keep people trapped
in capacity limitation. All right? So these objections
seem logical, but they're based upon fundamental
misunderstandings about how divine provision
operates. Objection number one, I'm already ready.
The Father is withholding from me. I believe
I'm prepared for increase, and the Father is
the bottleneck. I have the desire. I have the
vision. I have the faith. I have the prayer life.
So here's my question to that objection, to that
belief. So why isn't anything changing? The answer
is readiness is not measured by desire. It's
measured by demonstrated capacity under current
conditions. So if you cannot handle what you
have, you're not ready for more. If you cannot
manage current responsibility well, you're not
ready for greater responsibility. Remember, the
Father does not measure readiness by your passion
or by your performance. Objection number two.
Yeah, I've been through objection number one.
You ought to ask yourself, how does this preacher
know these things? Objection number two. Once
I have more, I'll be more disciplined. I'll build
systems after the increase arise. I'll get organized
when I have more money. I'll manage my time better
when I have more opportunities. As you can see,
I had to write this stuff down. I can't keep
this stuff in my head all at once. I will handle
pressure. Better when the stakes are higher.
Okay? Again, I have done this one too. And the
answer is this is backwards thinking that guarantees
continued limitation. The truth is, and this
is very, very important, discipline comes before
increase, not after. The system has to come before
the success, not after. Capacity comes before
the blessing, not after. So in other words, I'm
preaching to myself as well as to you. I've been
there. I've done that. I'm 70 years of age. I'm
giving you part of my personal journey. Objection
number three, I'm overwhelmed. And I can promise
you, a lot of you that are hearing me can relate
to this one as well as the other two. Capacity
will come later because right now I am too pressured
by current circumstances to invest in building
my capacity for greater, greater circumstances.
Okay? I'm too broke to learn money management.
I'm too busy to organize my time. I'm too stressed
to develop emotional regulation. And, you know,
when you're overwhelmed, it's like, I just can't.
I just can't. Okay? Now, here's the problem with
it, though. This logic ensures that your current
limitations become permanent. Capacity building
happens during difficult seasons, not after them.
Makes sense. Yeah. Okay? Because difficult seasons
know your address. They know the nation you live
in, the state you live in, the city you live
in, your street address. They come through the
front door, the back door, the window. They come
uninvited, okay? True. And so capacity building
happens during difficult seasons, okay? Here's
a truth. Strength is built under a load, not
in comfort. That's true. Right? The father funds
stewardship, not your desire. The father invests
in demonstrated capacity, not in declared intention.
Okay? So preparation is proof of readiness. Performance
under current pressure is evidence of capacity
for greater pressure. And your current circumstances
are not punishment for past mistakes. They are
training. Amen. For future opportunities. I want
to say that again. Your current circumstances
are not punishment for past mistakes. Your current
circumstances are training for future opportunities.
Beautiful. So when you accept that your current
capacity determines your current results. Everything
changes. You stop waiting for circumstances to
improve, and you start building your internal
architecture. And that makes your circumstances
improvement inevitable. Now, you're going to
stop asking why the Father's not blessing you.
You're going to start preparing to receive what
Jesus has purchased for you that the Father wants
to release to you. Now. When your internal infrastructure
can support greater weight, greater weight appears.
When your internal infrastructure can support
greater blessing, greater blessing appears. Okay?
So opportunities appear without you chasing them.
People start recommending you for positions you
didn't apply for. Resources flow towards you
because you've demonstrated the ability to steward
resources wisely. Doors open not because you're
knocking harder, but because you have proven
you can handle what's on the other side of the
door. Now, pressure does not feel overwhelming.
It feels manageable. situations that used to
create anxiety, you face now with a holy tranquility.
You can make clear decisions in circumstances
that used to create confusion. You can handle
setbacks with perspective instead of panic. Your
increased capacity means that greater challenges
feel like normal challenges. More money becomes
obedient to your direction. Instead of wondering
where the money went, You direct where the money
goes. Instead of money controlling your emotions,
you control your emotions about money. Instead
of financial stress dominating your mental energy,
financial clarity creates mental peace. Money
transforms from master to servant. Circumstances
begin responding to your internal strength, and
people treat you differently because you treat
yourself differently. Opportunities align with
your preparation. Now, instead of you feeling
that like problems are evidence that life is
against you, problems become puzzles for you
to solve and you enjoy solving them. So obviously
this is not the conclusion to the message on
the code capacity, but it will give a person
an idea. Okay. And there are other codes. There's
qualification codes. There's alignment codes.
There are codes of divine order. There are various,
various codes that the Lord has brought me into
that I believe can literally solve the puzzle
and can help people have a roadmap. The big thing
I think is true is I think that people are saying,
okay, how do I get out of my current situation?
What do I need to do to create change? And the
big thing I say to people is this. He that is
joined to the Lord is one spirit. Amen. So Jesus
is a genius. And Jesus is brilliant. And Jesus
has creativity. So that means that in the spirit
of Jesus, I'm a genius. In the spirit of Jesus,
I'm brilliant. And in the spirit of Jesus, I
have creativity. My struggle, my struggle, my
struggle is not my faith. My struggle is my self
-doubt. My struggle, my struggle is not my education.
My struggle is what do I believe about myself.
And so the most difficult thing I think for me
has been to stop. And to turn down or turn off
as much as possible the noise in my mind. Okay.
Because in my experience, sometimes what interferes
with my progress is all the brain chatter. Okay.
True. It's the brain fog that the spirit of this
age seems to project toward me. Right. That makes
it difficult for me to think with clarity. And
so I think that one of the reasons I need the
presence of God more in my life is because in
the atmosphere of heaven, there is clarity. Amen.
And here's something I want to say to people,
and I don't know if you've considered this, okay,
but there's truth in this, and if you consider
it, you'll see the truth of it. You think in
and out of an atmosphere, all right? Listen,
I promise you, I promise you, the drug addict
is not thinking about where he can get drugs
when he's in the police station, okay? The atmosphere
does not, does not, you know. If a person's in
a nightclub, they have a certain thing on their
mind, alcohol, drugs, hooking up with somebody,
because the atmosphere in and of itself influences
what's going on in the mind. And so, you know,
when a person is watching the television, it's
telling a vision and it is influencing your thinking.
So you mentioned something about as much as people
can be in the meetings. Okay, there in May. It
means something because when you're in that atmosphere,
the atmosphere of heaven, the thoughts of the
Father, the revelations of Jesus, in that atmosphere,
you can think in that atmosphere. And one of
the things that can happen is you can have the
clarity of the Christ. You can have the creativity
of the Christ. And then in that atmosphere, all
of a sudden solutions can come that can solve
problems successfully. And that's why one of
the reasons why we need to come together and
that we need to be in the atmosphere of heaven,
because you can think in that atmosphere, that
atmosphere can shut out the confusion. the noise.
It can suspend the brain chatter. It can dissipate
the fog so that you can have focus on the Father
and then receive answers that are supernatural
that will move you into supernatural progress
and success. And success, in my definition, is
being able to come into an intimate knowledge
of the Father and Jesus and do the will of the
Father. And bring God glory and benefit yourself
because you're following Jesus and benefit others.
And so that is an example, a little bit of the
capacity code. That's so good. Wow. So, so good.
Thank you so much. That was so powerful. Wow.

that God has brought you to us. And we've connected,
and we've connected very, very deeply. And thank
you so much for being on our board now. find
strategists, and you were the first one to come
to mind. Thank you. Actually, here's what I want
to say to people is, Jesus, when it says in Isaiah
9 and 6, his name should be called Wonderful
Counselor, you can translate that Brave Strategist.
Amen. My challenge has been, sometimes it seems
I'm in a struggle to find the right strategy.
for the time in which I'm stuck. Okay? Okay.
And there are times when I have found that brilliant
strategy that got me unstuck and caused me to
move forward. And then there are other times
when it's like, I mean, where is the Lord? Okay.
Which is really the wrong question, right? Right.
It's where am I? It's where am I? Exactly. Okay.
Because he's the same. He's exactly where I left
him. Okay. Lord, that'll preach. Yeah. So, Lord,
help me to get to where you are. Okay. Amen.
And so I want to let people know that I'm having
the same struggles that they're having. Okay.
And I'm searching for answers just like they
are. And we're all in this thing together. And
the same God who has helped you is going to help
me. And the same God who's helping me is going
to help you. Amen. Amen. Well, we thoroughly
agree with that prayer. And Holy Ghost, we just
pray this over all of our listeners and viewers,
Lord, that you're going to give us these. capacity
builders, Lord, that you're going to help us
to develop these disciplines. Lord, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you for this teaching. We bless
you. Thank you. Thank you, Father. Amen. Amen.
Amen. Well, thank you for having me. And thank
