WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000 The Word is true, regardless of whatever circumstance you find yourself in. 2 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.500 Too many people interpret the Word of God through a lens of what they're going through with that present moment. 3 00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:15.000 I preached on this just as hard when I was 26 years old, totally broke, 4 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.500 living in a windowless basement, preaching that God is a loving father who loves his kids, 5 00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:26.000 and that we should fear not because it's his good pleasure to give to us the Kingdom. 6 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.000 Welcome to the CityLight Church Podcast. Thanks for joining us today, 7 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.000 as we look into God's Word and discover the hope and truth that He has for us. 8 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.000 If you want to connect with CityLight Church, feel free to visit us at CityLightNYC.com, 9 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.000 that CityLightNYC.com. 10 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000 Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit 11 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.000 is already working in our hearts and minds. 12 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:57.000 As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, 13 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:05.000 that you are surrounded by His grace, and that He has a real hope and a future for you. 14 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.000 Stretch him up real high like you're ready to receive and make this declaration 15 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.000 in the name of Jesus, 20-25 is my year. 16 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:23.000 The hand of the Lord is upon me, and it will increase upon me. 17 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.000 This year is blessed. 18 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:35.000 I will do things by the power of the Holy Spirit that have never been done before. 19 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:44.000 Through my faith, I will receive in Jesus' name, Amen. 20 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:51.000 Amen. 21 00:01:51.000 --> 00:02:02.000 So that's what the year is promised to be, a different kind of year. 22 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:11.000 I have to point out that I have not normally or usually spoken about entire years. 23 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.000 Some years are just years. 24 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000 The Lord is always doing something, but there's not necessarily one specific theme every year 25 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.000 to the dismay of many preachers who preach a series based on a theme they got, 26 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:28.000 but you know, some years are just years, but this year is not. 27 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.000 And so this is why you're probably hearing me speak like this for the first time. 28 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.000 This is a year of taking new ground. 29 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:43.000 This is a year of expansion, of extending the 10 pegs, the year of breakthrough. 30 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:49.000 The year where the hand of God comes upon you, and you run further than you've ever run before, 31 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:56.000 the year where you overcome self-sabotage, the year where you just, he lays his hand upon you, 32 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:03.000 and you leap with the strength of 10 men and get it done, breaking through. 33 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:11.000 Those limiting barriers and obstacles and hindrances that Satan and just plain old life have put around you, 34 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.000 it's going to be a good year. 35 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:21.000 So I'm preaching to help facilitate that, because the entrance of his word brings light, 36 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:27.000 and faith comes only one way. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. 37 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:35.000 So the more word you get in you, the more that spiritual force known as faith increases in you, 38 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:41.000 your spirit man produces faith when it feasts on the Word of God. 39 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:45.000 So you eat the Word of God and your spirit produces faith. 40 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:55.000 Well why is faith important? Because faith is the invisible hand that reaches up into heaven and brings down into this natural realm what you need. Amen. 41 00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:01.000 Everything you ever receive from God, it's received by faith. 42 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.000 And so these are abundance meetings. These are increase of faith meetings. 43 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:13.000 And these are anointed meetings where there isn't anointing for prosperity. 44 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.000 You see it in Deuteronomy 818, he says, I'll give you power to get wealth. 45 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:23.000 I'll give you power or anointing, creative ability to get wealth. Amen. 46 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.000 And if you're a guest and you're wondering what did I just walk into, he's already talking about wealth. 47 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:39.000 Oh my God, and his sweater has batteries. Listen, our number one message here is Jesus and Jesus crucified. 48 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:45.000 There is no greater pleasure or privilege in life than relationship with him. 49 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:53.000 And that's why we talk about the vast majority of the time, but it also helps if you're not dead broke. 50 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.000 I love my relationship with Lord. I wouldn't trade it for anything. 51 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:06.000 I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world. But why is it hard for believers to be multifaceted? 52 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:13.000 Like the only one to focus in on one attribute of God and camp around that and make that their thing. 53 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:19.000 God is pretty deep. In fact, in Corinthians, it says that the things of God are bottomless. 54 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:26.000 And he's multifaceted. A diamond is precious and beautiful. It has 67 facets. God has even more. 55 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:36.000 That's why you'll never be bored in heaven. He's just going to turn around a little bit and you're going to go, oh, glory to God and the 24 elders and the four living creatures. 56 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.000 And you'll do that for like a million years and he'll go, yeah, check this out. 57 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:54.000 All right, this is why Jacob gave Joseph a coat of many colors. God likes lots and lots of colors. 58 00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:00.000 If you look at the book of Revelation and it shows you heaven, it's very, very colorful. 59 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:08.000 In fact, there's a rainbow behind the throne of God because one color, one color is salvation. 60 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.000 Oh, that's a nice color. But then there's another color called the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 61 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:21.000 Then there's another color called healing. And then there's another color which Christians seem to hate this color. 62 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:28.000 They resist this color. It's called prosperity. It's called abundance. It's called the color of overflow. 63 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.000 And he has billions and billions of colors. He's a colorful God, amen. 64 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:44.000 No, no, with lots of attributes. And that's where Christians miss it because they only focus on one and they forget all the other attributes or they forget his benefits. 65 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:53.000 How do I know? Because the scripture says, bless the Lord. Oh, my soul. He's encouraging himself. And he's not really not talking to you. 66 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:59.000 He's talking to himself. You get to read it. The psalm is saying, and don't forget his benefits. 67 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:07.000 What does that mean? Oh, you just focused on the blue. Oh, you're obsessed with the green. But now you're missing out on the yellow. 68 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:14.000 Don't forget some people, you know, they forgot what's in the benefits package. Or if they didn't forget, they never knew. 69 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:22.000 Jesus was presented in a monochromatic way. I'm sorry. What a terrible way to perceive Jesus. 70 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:34.000 Monochromatic. He's deep. And he's got a lot in store for you. And part of my job is making sure you don't miss out on the penny package. 71 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:43.000 The benefits. You don't forget all his benefits. Amen. So we're talking about finances. And we're talking about biblical abundance. 72 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:56.000 Let's go to Ecclesiastes 10, 19. Hallelujah. Now really what the Lord showed me would be happening in these meetings, 73 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:05.000 although I'm preaching the word and when you preach the word, minds are changed. There is an anointing here. Yeah, you're listening to me. 74 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:17.000 You're looking this way, you're moving your around in the seat a little bit, right? But the Lord is in the invisible realm working on your life and making a grace deposit in you to put you on the right track. 75 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:26.000 So that come December of 2025. I was the best year of my life. Hallelujah. 76 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:39.000 A feast. This verse is me explaining why I'm talking about this in only one verse. I could choose from hundreds. I like this one. 77 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:53.000 Because already I know I really kind of felt it in the first service. You got a you got a cleanse. You got a cleanse the service with some scripture and some sayings. 78 00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:05.000 And right now, you know, with the moment you mentioned monies, especially straight out the gate. You're like, why? Why is he talking about money? Well, because you use some probably just to get here. 79 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:19.000 You probably if you didn't steal breakfast, you probably use some tea breakfast this morning. And it's pretty important. And Jesus knew was important. That's why he spoke so much about it. 80 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:32.000 Because money on this side of heaven is important in heaven, not important. That's why the pavement, the sidewalks are made of gold. You don't need it in heaven, but here you do. 81 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:45.000 The Bible says the feast is made for laughter. And wine makes Mary. 82 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:58.000 Good night. 83 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:11.000 I buy that spirit of distraction. 84 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:28.000 When was the last time you stuck into a place? You're sneaking skills are off. You came in like a whirlwind through his coat in the front when I looked at him, he went. 85 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:41.000 My other son and then my real son. He gets it's like they're working in tandem. 86 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:58.000 But this sounds like a lyric from a late 90s hip hop song. I was shocked when I read this in the Bible. Money answers everything. What's that doing in the Bible? That sounds so carnal. That sounds so terrible. 87 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:12.000 He had it in the scriptures and it's true. Because on this side of heaven you need money. And money answers everything. You just saw that. When there's a problem, what money will solve it? 88 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:28.000 You just saw in the LA fires. House is burning down. People losing their entire net worth. But then you probably also heard about a small percentage that had enough money. We're talking about centa millionaires. 89 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:46.000 In the hundreds of millions, billionaires, they hired private firefighting forces. You know how much of those costs? 20,000 to 100,000 per hour. To fight the fire and save it off and keep it from burning their house down. Money answered that problem. Well that would have been nice. 90 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:58.000 To for ten of those guys at 20 to 100 grand a piece an hour. Why do Christians resist this message? For some reason they do. 91 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:14.000 A couple of years ago, the missionary pastor Yovica, when he visited us this August, he found out he was telling me his wife was ill and she needed to have surgery. And over there in Montenegro and Serbia, they're not technically under a socialist communist system. 92 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:28.000 But a lot of their systems that are in place still are like that. And so she needed to have surgery. But she had to wait for a year. And it would have been like next to nothing and cost. But she could have been dead in a year. 93 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:53.000 He didn't ask that we do anything. He was just because I asked, how are you doing? He let me know. I said, well how much would a private doctor, how much would that cost? He said a lot, like $5,000. And I'm thinking what you just described would cost 300,000 minimum in the states. So we sent him $5,000 for his wife. She had the procedure done. You saw her here, right as rain. They thanked you. Money answered that problem. 94 00:12:53.000 --> 00:13:17.000 So you know, it is possible to receive God in a multifaceted way, not go off track, but receive everything that he has, and not resist. But for some reason, I have a inkling. It has to some of the reasons. It's still some are mysterious to me. Christians, they push away from it. They move away. They resist it. 95 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:40.000 They resist biblical prosperity. It's like they love their poverty. They'll fight you. Look at you suspiciously. And just in the spirit resisted, make all sorts of excuses. 96 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:59.000 Why, yeah, that might be true, but it's not really true for me. Look, the word is true regardless of whatever circumstance you find yourself in. Too many people interpret the word of God through a lens of what they're going through with that present moment. You may not be living it, but the word doesn't change. 97 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:27.000 I preached on this just as hard when I was 26 years old, totally broke. I was broke, living in a windowless basement in the East Village, preaching on how God will supply all of my need according to his riches and Christ glory, preaching as abundance, preaching prosperity, preaching that God is a loving father who loves his kids, and that we should fear not because it's his good pleasure to give to us the kingdom. 98 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:45.000 I wasn't living it, but what does that matter? My living it or not doesn't change the word of God and the veracity of God's word. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. 99 00:14:45.000 --> 00:15:11.000 So let's go through some of these scriptures. Let's go in Matthew 19. Matthew 19, because I do believe that we, just by virtue of living in this world, and especially the way some of us were raised, we have a lack mindset. 100 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:26.000 My mom encouraged me. Maybe she's watching right now, but we get into this all the time, and just the other day I said, mom, that's a poverty spirit. I forget what it was for. It was a little, something little, but the thing will come up, and she laughs, oh, there. 101 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:41.000 You say something else that really upsets me when you use that word. I said, I know, that's why I use it. Because that's what it really is. But it's okay, but it'll help you digest better. Let's call it a scarcity mindset, but it's the same thing. 102 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:51.000 Scarcity mindset, lack mentality, poverty spirit. 103 00:15:51.000 --> 00:16:08.000 You can pick it up just from your parents. Victor, have you ever heard us say we can't afford it? No, right? Because you've never heard it, because we never say it. Even if we couldn't afford it, I'm not going to say that. 104 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:21.000 His sister might come and say, hey, I want a tiger. I want to be like, oh, we have no place to put him. I was just going to go to the tiger store and get you a couple, but we don't have any place. 105 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:50.000 But no, but they're not going to hear you can't afford it. You can't afford it. Oh, we don't have enough money. We don't have enough money. They're not going to have their head filled with that, and then come out in their early 20s, all scared and nervous with this lack, stinking, poverty spirit, where they see the world as a scarce, cold place, where they got to sharpen their elbows and grab for theirs. No, they're being raised to know they serve the God of abundance, the God of overflow. Hallelujah. 106 00:16:50.000 --> 00:17:02.000 I know, because I grew up with that. I went to my friends house as a kid back then. We didn't call them play dates. Tell my sister, can I ever play them? No, you can go and hang out with your friends. 107 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:16.000 There's things of play date now. Go and hang out. Have fun. Go crazy. When I was hanging out, young with one of my friends, I'll never forget. I saw their toilet. They had blue water in the toilet. 108 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:22.000 I just thought, oh, because last time I saw blue water in the toilet was on the flight to America. 109 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:28.000 And it kept, you know, in the airplane, and I never seen anything like it, kept the toilet bowl pretty clean. 110 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:34.000 It smelled good, and it was just unique. I went to my parents and said, hey, how do we get that blue toilet water? 111 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.000 My parents, oh, those are those tablets they put in when I get now. That's just flushing your money away. 112 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:46.000 Do you know when I became an adult guy, my own place, the first thing I did was by 2000 flushes. I bought so many tablets of 2000 flushes. 113 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:52.000 That's what prosperity was to me back in my early 20s. 2000 flushes. 114 00:17:52.000 --> 00:18:00.000 Today actually, the thing with this sweater, I was telling Pastor Moe, is yeah, it looks like Joseph's coat of many colors. 115 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:08.000 But my pastor, before he was my pastor, almost 30 years ago, had this exact same brand, this exact same pattern. 116 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:16.000 And I was 20, 21 years old, and I took a Greyhound bus, my first and last long Greyhound bus. 117 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:24.000 I didn't know. Back then, you couldn't look at like TripAdvisor and read reviews. I didn't know. I was just like, this all like an affordable thing, Greyhound. 118 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:36.000 Oh my gosh, it was eight hours to Delaware. I felt like I was like, you know, I thought I was back in Montenegro and one of those chicken buses, you know, riding and anyway. 119 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:45.000 Show up in the meetings, and he's wearing one of these. And I was like, and when he was, there were prayer, you know how we do prayer lines, except they did them correctly. 120 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:57.000 And so, this prayer line, I was like waiting to receive, waiting to receive, and he was walking right behind me. And I saw that sweater and I thought, I'm gonna grab some anointing. 121 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:06.000 And I went like that. I just brushed up against this sweater. And it was so buttery. 122 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:18.000 My broke Balkan butt had never touched something so buttery. I didn't even know what it was. And then like a year later, I was just wandering around Manhattan before kids just sat home and scrolled. I'm like 21. 123 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:27.000 You know, you just go out. What are you gonna do? You go out and walk Manhattan all day. Lints in your pockets, but you're walking and I'm going fifth avenue. And I'm in one of those stores and I see the sweater. 124 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:40.000 And I'm like this, I want to get one of these. And I looked at the price tag and nearly fell out. And actually how I was sharing with Pastor Mo, these thoughts like, how, how could anybody buy one of these sweaters? 125 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:48.000 How could anyone ever afford one of these sweaters? It's impossible. For me, it would be like a month's rent back then. 126 00:19:48.000 --> 00:20:06.000 Anyway, that's why I bought this sweater. Instead of 2000 flushes, in fact, Pastor Mo, come on up here. Come on up here. Victor, aren't you giving that? 127 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:21.000 Open it up. Open it up. This is on behalf of City Light Church. We love you. We're grateful. 128 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:27.000 Kick it. Put it on. Put it on. 129 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:58.000 Put it on. Put it on now. Put it on now. Put it on now. 130 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:12.000 You cut it off just at the right time so YouTube wouldn't kick us off from hiring. Love you, Pastor Mo. Looks good on you. 131 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:22.000 Yesterday, his kids are all sick. One of them has pink eye. I mean, he's just telling me, I'm like, well, you got to come to church, man. 132 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:35.000 I'm thinking, he's probably thinking, this is the hardest pastor in the world and making me, because he's never out. You know, he never has issues. But that's why you had to come to church. Amen. We love you, Pastor Mo. 133 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:44.000 All right. I went off there. I didn't know how he was going to work the gift into the sermon, but it worked out. We are in Matthew. 134 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:58.000 Oh, for those who love poverty. All right. Those who love scarcity. This is probably one of your life passages, people who will buck against increase. 135 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:12.000 And yes, by the way, yes, I know. I know the love of money is the root of all evil. I don't love it. I love Jesus. I use money. It's a wonderful servant, a terrible master. 136 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:19.000 But it's amazing how Christians will make like this one cautionary verse, their life verse. 137 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:27.000 Well, my life is defined by not loving money. How about your life is defined by who you do love, not what you don't love. 138 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:39.000 Well, oh, the Bible says those who pursue riches pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Okay, don't make that your number one pursuit. No one's telling you to make Jesus and knowing him your number one pursuit. 139 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:57.000 But don't throw out the other colors. You with your grace, the weather, you love great. He loves great too, but he loves a lot of other colors also. Hallelujah. 140 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:09.000 Now behold, one came and said to him, good teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? 141 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:16.000 So Jesus said to him, why do you call me good? No one is good, but one that is God. This doesn't really what I'm about to say. 142 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:24.000 It's not in the line of what I'm preaching, but I have to say this because there's this question that comes up of, did Jesus ever claim to be God? 143 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:32.000 Some people say, oh, he never himself Muslims believe that he never himself claimed to be God. And I'm like, he always claimed to be God. 144 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:40.000 In fact, they crucified him specifically because he made himself equal to God. That's what the scriptures tell you. That's what history tells you. 145 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:50.000 He did it in sneaky cool ways too. Like he said, hey, he said in other parts, he said the father is going to resurrect me. The Holy Spirit is going to resurrect me. 146 00:23:50.000 --> 00:24:00.000 Then he said, he said, destroy this temple, meaning the temple of his body. Destroy this temple and in three days, I will raise it up. 147 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:10.000 So who did the resurrection, the father or Jesus? The answer is yes. What about the Holy Spirit? Yes. He always was showing his divinity. 148 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:22.000 So here, here comes this rich young ruler going, good teacher. And Jesus, oh, why do you call me good? Don't you know, only one is good, God? In other words, I am God. 149 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:33.000 But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments. He's ministering to someone who's living under the law. He's ministering to him with the law. 150 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:43.000 The rich young ruler says, which ones? Jesus said, you shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. 151 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:55.000 Honor your father and your mother and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. And then the rich young man said to him, all these things I have kept from my youth, he knew something was missing. 152 00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:15.000 He says, what do I still lack? Now, how many of you believe he kept all those things since his youth? Exactly. No one raised, no one believes. Right. He missed it somewhere. So why would he say he kept the whole of the commandments? Because he's proud. Yeah. 153 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:28.000 He's religiously proud. And he may be in his own head, believes he kept all of the commandments. So Jesus comes in expert, and says, okay, you want to boast about you keeping the law. I'm going to use the law like a surgeon. 154 00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:39.000 And put my finger on that one thing that Jesus is flowing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and with the word of knowledge, he knew this rich young ruler loved his stuff too much. 155 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:55.000 Jesus said to him, if you want to be perfect, go sell what you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come, follow me. Keep that verse up there, please. Everybody look at that verse. It's a great verse, right? 156 00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:13.000 Okay. That verse is to the rich young ruler because the rich young ruler boasted in how he keeps the commandments. So Jesus is challenging him now. Let me ask you a question. Have you heard Jesus say this to anybody else in the gospels? 157 00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:33.000 Have you heard the Apostle Paul say this to anybody else? No. So this is for the rich young ruler. Why am I camping around this? Because Christians will resist abundance. They'll resist overflow. They'll resist prosperity. And they'll find passages like this, misinterpret them and make it their whole life first. 158 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:53.000 He didn't tell you go and sell everything you have. Live like a pauper, get a potato sack, walk around barefoot, maybe a sandwich board with a bell, the end is near. Don't provide anything for your kids, don't believe in generational wealth, don't have your money making money so you can build churches, you can host crusades. 159 00:26:53.000 --> 00:27:05.000 No, just be dirt poor and Christians believed it. Peter and John are walking to the temple, a sick man comes and goes silver and gold, have I none but such as I have. And they make it their life first. 160 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:33.000 Ah silver and gold have I none. Thank you Lord silver and gold. They left their wallet at home that day. And people think that's just how they lived all the time silver and gold have I none. You come into their house there's a plaque silver and gold we have none. We really, really believe this scripture and we're internalizing and appropriating. You know people keep trying to give me money I said get away no silver and gold have I none. I don't want to keep it that way. 161 00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:49.000 Verse 22 please. But when the young man heard that saying he went away sorrowful for he had great possessions. 162 00:27:49.000 --> 00:28:03.000 Then Jesus said to disciples assuredly I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven why because when you're rich you have to hold things loosely and when God says give you give. 163 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:19.000 I mean when you're poor the reality is when you're poor you have to live that way and if you want the promotion of God you hold things loosely and when God says give you give. He molds you to be generous and make sure your heart you yield to him so your heart isn't controlled by things and once that. 164 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:29.000 That that that agreed that possessiveness that materialism is broken in your life. 165 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:44.000 Then the abundance of heaven comes and by the way a lot of people don't know what the definition of materialism is materialism is not having things materialism is wanting things to fill a spiritual need in your life. 166 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:51.000 Hallelujah. All right let's let's read another fun verse. 167 00:28:51.000 --> 00:29:11.000 Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord Matthew 19 or Matthew 25 the parable of the talents. 168 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:29.000 Hallelujah. I'm just taking my time. I know what I want to say next. I really do. 169 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:46.000 The Lord Jesus on the cross has taken away all of your sins. Let me say that again. The Lord Jesus on the cross has taken away all of your sins. 170 00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:56.000 You receive that by faith. So go ahead and receive by faith because of what he did on the cross there is no condemnation for the believer. 171 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:08.000 And it is important vital that guilt shame condemnation be taken out of your psyche out of your life because that will keep you from entering into what God has for you. 172 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:26.000 Oh yes it will because God will try to promote you and bless you and you will subconsciously self-sabotage and resist because the voice is saying your own inward monologue oh you don't deserve this because you're feeling guilty you're feeling condemned. 173 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:38.000 And now the Lord is anointing you right now in the service is anointing comes upon you there is an anointing for prosperity. 174 00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:56.000 There is an anointing according to Deuteronomy 818 and anointing to create wealth to move you ahead to have you positioned being at the right place at the right time. 175 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:12.000 There is an anointing to even heal your body and fill you with get up and go. You know I was just rejoicing a year ago I got hit so hard physically I couldn't walk half a block. 176 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:20.000 I went to the gym I did five minutes on elliptical my whole body was on fire for the next two days. 177 00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:32.000 The Lord healed me because the churn around was like this the Lord healed me that was stuck for several weeks there just stuck. 178 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:42.000 Like stuck stuck like alarmingly stuck like not even wanted to tell my wife how bad it is because it was alarming. 179 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:54.000 She figured it out you can't you can't face some of this stuff it's like hey babe where are you all over here she figured it out I'm there in the fetal position in the corner. 180 00:31:54.000 --> 00:32:04.000 Oh you're not at your best are you okay better pray for you. 181 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:16.000 So I'm letting you know this service this meeting isn't just about a knowledge transfer catch what the Lord is doing and receive it for yourself. 182 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:24.000 It doesn't matter how far away you are from the truth that's being preached right now. 183 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:32.000 God can work his God stuff and do what he's famous for in seconds seconds. 184 00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:40.000 Hallelujah the only one who can get in the way is you going nah not me that's not for me just for everyone else except me. 185 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:49.000 And some people are bold they have faith in the blood of Jesus and they'll go oh I'm a child of God this is for me this is mine. 186 00:32:49.000 --> 00:33:01.000 Hallelujah all right you know I come from a communist country that is why I hate socialism in all its forms. 187 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:21.000 Because I escaped from that and I believe in capitalism because God is a capitalist but I'm not but. 188 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:37.000 Oh okay because capitalism when you look around the world that system has lifted more people out of illiteracy and out of poverty than any other system. 189 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:49.000 I'm not really getting a cheer here in New York City I'm not feeling this I'm not maybe a lot of you were born here yet here we are in Queens and we have 80 nations represented just in this church. 190 00:33:49.000 --> 00:34:03.000 Okay if you like communism maybe you can come work in my house you'll do all the work I'll pay someone else I'll pay your sister if you like socialism. 191 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:11.000 I mean you got one one system that's filled everywhere that it's been tried in every format that it's been tried and you have one system. 192 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:21.000 Yeah it has its faults but it's done infinitely more good and people go what about the robber barons what about Rockefeller and what he did and I did. 193 00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:30.000 All right it had some kinks it's still being worked out. Amen but even with the kinks it lifted up a whole name. 194 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:41.000 You are blessed am I in it this is the most diverse place in America you know that 161 nations in Queens 80 of them in our church. 195 00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:51.000 Just go thank you Jesus because over 50% of all global immigrants you know where they come to America they want to come here. 196 00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:57.000 It's pretty nice to live in a place that 50 plus percent of all immigrants want to get to. 197 00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:06.000 Yeah I am one of them and so were you so let's just praise the Lord. 198 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:17.000 And here in Matthew 25 a joke God is a cap but it's the most capitalistic passage from the mouth of Jesus you'll ever ever read. 199 00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:26.000 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 200 00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:41.000 And to the one he gave five talents now the word talented and America's got talent and you got talent and my kid could sneak away in the middle of a sermon without be noticing is so talented. 201 00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:49.000 That that word talent it actually comes from what it really means as it's used in this passage it's a weight. 202 00:35:49.000 --> 00:36:04.000 It's a weight for money for gold yeah so when somebody said oh there you know the way the word evolves oh you're so talented means you're way down with the gifting of heaven you're weighed with the carus the gift of heaven. 203 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:11.000 Here he's talking Jesus by the way I know I can't show you that it's in the red but it's the red. 204 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:21.000 And to one he gave five talents to another two so he's saying there was this master and he's giving these talents of the talent is 75 pounds by the way. 205 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:32.000 Giving these measures of gold to three of his servants one got five one got two one got one to each according to his own ability and immediately he went on a journey. 206 00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:39.000 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them and made another five talents. 207 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:53.000 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also that's not bad return both of them got a hundred percent beating the S&P average for the last 15 years wow. 208 00:36:53.000 --> 00:37:06.000 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground and did and hid his Lord's money after a long time the Lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 209 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:18.000 So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents saying Lord you delivered to me five talents look I have gained five more talents besides them. 210 00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:38.000 And his Lord said to him well done good and faithful servants you were faithful over a few things I will make you ruler over many things are you catching what the Lord is teaching here all right by the way this is a key I had my first car was a 1986 I didn't get it in 86 I got it in 99. 211 00:37:38.000 --> 00:38:00.000 It was a 1986 Chevy spectrum that I bought I'm not kidding in Tampa for $1,000 right inflation isn't that bad $1,000 was a little back then it's a little now it was like the Flintstone Mobile it was a clunker like my feet will come out the bottom I'd actually walk the car was horrible. 212 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:27.000 And I despise that car because it was my poor mobile it was terrible and I despise it and a friend in Bible school I'll never forget this he said you shouldn't despise it is it how can you tell I just hate it he said bro like this on my dashboard full of the I never washed it I never cleaned it because I hated it I thought it was a piece of junk and and and why am I going to take care of this piece of junk because God blessed me with another one. 213 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:38.000 And he said you know God's not going to get you another one until you take care of what he's already given you I'm looking at him and he's opening when somebody just blows your mind because I didn't know this coming from my background. 214 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:45.000 Oh he said you need to write and I said have you ever washed the car I mean Queen's we don't have like driveways to wash cars in. 215 00:38:45.000 --> 00:39:14.000 So I'm like no I never was like all right go to auto zone you're going to get this and I washed my first car right still a junk car but now is a clean junk car and do you know shortly after that someone gave me the red truck the Sanford and sons mobile and I took care of that gave that away and then my third car was a BMW that's that was given to me but you have to it was used but nevertheless I'm just saying it wasn't like okay. 216 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:44.000 Definitely better than any I mean like this the 86 Chevy spec I'm not people think I'm not just several times I would hit the break and the break just went all the way through didn't work I had to pump it to get it to work so it's better than that no matter how used it was the point the moral of the story is take care now and love what the Lord has given you don't complain about it if you got a if you hate your home but make it a clean home and when you walk into let your energy be I hate this place go thank you Jesus that I'm going to 217 00:39:44.000 --> 00:40:14.000 not living under a bridge thank you Lord for your goodness thank you for what you have given me and be faithful with what he's giving you and then he'll make you ruler over more I've come to realize a lot of this stuff with prosperity is that God is waiting to trust you you go okay you've convinced me I see in the scriptures God is a God of abundance God is a God of excess God is a good God how come I'm not seeing it in my life he's waiting I believe not 218 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:43.960 nine out of ten times for us to show him that he can trust us and we won't become out of control jerks when he brings his prosperity on us but we'll stay low and hold the stuff loosely and love him and love people amen hallelujah verse 22 he also who had received two talents came and said Lord you delivered to me two talents look I have gained 219 00:40:43.960 --> 00:41:06.000 two more talents besides them his Lord said to him well done good and faithful servant you have been faithful over a few things I will make you ruler over many things enter into the joy of the Lord then he would receive the one talent came and said Lord 220 00:41:06.600 --> 00:41:24.840 did you did you get why I'm calling this the most capitalistic passage in the Bible Lord I knew you to be a hard man reaping where you have not sewn and gathering where you have not scattered seed and I was afraid and went and hid your talent in the ground look 221 00:41:27.080 --> 00:41:35.000 there you have what is yours but as Lord answered and said to him you wicked and lazy servant you didn't press in for more 222 00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:53.560 you didn't multiply you didn't expand you knew that I reap where I have not sewn and gathered where I have not scattered seed so you asked you ought to have deposited my money and at least a money market account you could have put it in a CD at least 223 00:41:53.560 --> 00:42:23.520 and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest now listen to this therefore Jesus is saying this master said therefore take the talent from him and give it to him who has ten talents for to everyone who has more will be given and he will have abundance but from him who does not have even what he has will be taken away and cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness there will be weeping 224 00:42:23.560 --> 00:42:46.560 and gnashing of teeth why am I reading this I am reading this because I want every Christian who names the name of Christ to understand that we have a responsibility it's not just the benefit it's a divine responsibility to prosper and to multiply that is our 225 00:42:46.560 --> 00:43:02.560 responsibility why why because to get the job of the kingdom done this isn't hard math to get the job of the kingdom them it actually requires money it's not hard math right but it's very hard for Christians for some reason to connect those dots 226 00:43:03.560 --> 00:43:18.560 that God wants to expand his kingdom but on earth that cost money so he wants to prosper and multiply his people to get the job done and some people tilt tilt error 404 does not compute does not compute 227 00:43:18.560 --> 00:43:45.560 and then they find holy ways of wrapping them their lack of faith like they'll say oh I'm you know I'm good I got my bills paid I'm good I'm glad you're good how many churches have you built how many crusades have you funded how many missions projects do you support well then you're not good 228 00:43:45.560 --> 00:43:51.560 because God wants you to be so good and there's people out there crying for help who needs you to be good or 229 00:44:03.560 --> 00:44:05.560 you have a responsibility to multiply 230 00:44:05.560 --> 00:44:18.560 that's good news you know why that's good news because when God puts a responsibility on you he will undergo you with the strength and the grace and the power to fulfill that responsibility in that obligation 231 00:44:35.560 --> 00:44:48.560 and and I love Jesus and I believe he's the original prosperity preacher because you say are you a person is you know yeah I'll do the preaching though amen 232 00:44:48.560 --> 00:45:08.560 what was the last thing I said good Lord Jesus who multiplied bread is the ultimate prosperity preacher 233 00:45:09.560 --> 00:45:33.560 but the word prosperity preacher because of weirdness is and that always happens whenever there's a truth that God brings to the body of Christ you're always going to have the disciples of the disciples of the disciples saying weird stuff and bring in confusion and carrying truth to an ex to an excess to an extreme and then it becomes error 234 00:45:34.560 --> 00:45:45.560 but one of the ways that that that I believe that whole quote unquote prosperity movement missed it was they talked about God's desire for his people to be prosperous that's good 235 00:45:45.560 --> 00:45:54.560 and they talked about the necessity of giving being generous sewing and reaping that's good but they only made it about sewing and reaping 236 00:45:54.560 --> 00:46:05.560 so you can have a person who is completely ignorant stays home doesn't have a job doesn't take any risks doesn't use their faith but they're a giver and they're wondering oh this isn't working for me 237 00:46:05.560 --> 00:46:14.560 well it's giving is huge giving is vital giving is so important but you know what else is important for example you got to add the other stuff it's a lot of colors 238 00:46:14.560 --> 00:46:19.560 you want to grow in biblical prosperity you know what else is important how about this staying out of debt 239 00:46:19.560 --> 00:46:31.560 not buying things that you can't afford to impress people you don't like that's a good start don't get in debt don't the charge stop doing that 240 00:46:32.560 --> 00:46:42.560 how about this read a book read a book not just any book if you're looking for increase in finances read a financial book 241 00:46:42.560 --> 00:46:51.560 not the boring once there's great ones classics the classics now when I was in my early 20s they just come out another classics rich that poor dad 242 00:46:51.560 --> 00:47:01.560 everybody should read that book the millionaire next door read that book let it expand and challenge your mind 243 00:47:01.560 --> 00:47:10.560 book I read about 10 years ago one of my favorite books shoe dog by the CEO former CEO of Nike the founder of Nike Phil Knight 244 00:47:10.560

their failures and we most people don't do that they share their mistakes 246 00:47:21.560 --> 00:47:25.560 you know they say it's great to learn from your mistakes it's even better to learn from someone else's 247 00:47:25.560 --> 00:47:36.560 the power of positive thinking by Norman Vincent Peele these guys I don't know if they're saved or not probably a chunk of them aren't 248 00:47:36.560 --> 00:47:43.560 that's okay we can have the sense of an old cow and eat the hay and spit out the sticks 249 00:47:43.560 --> 00:47:52.560 so to receive biblical prosperity giving is important but so is reading learning not 250 00:47:52.560 --> 00:48:00.560 overspending taking some risks staying at home and scrolling nobody got nobody got a break 251 00:48:00.560 --> 00:48:07.560 through that way but going out there by faith yeah it gets tiring sometimes you know 252 00:48:07.560 --> 00:48:13.560 how many buildings I knocked on when we first started meeting in a hotel ballroom how many church doors I had to knock on 253 00:48:13.560 --> 00:48:20.560 I'd be 26 years you know how goofy I looked when I was 26 I looked like I was 12 I look at pictures of myself now 254 00:48:20.560 --> 00:48:28.560 and I'm like I look like Victor 20 and I'd be like hi my name is Pastor Boyan like I'd use the title 255 00:48:28.560 --> 00:48:33.560 and everything so they wouldn't think I was just a kid asking for money I was wondering can we rent your building 256 00:48:33.560 --> 00:48:40.560 I went out on church building it got very boring no no until one said yes 257 00:48:40.560 --> 00:48:48.560 so you go around and beat the bushes see what birds are in there is this too practical 258 00:48:48.560 --> 00:48:55.560 all right oh we need to take communion all right come on thank you guys see if I didn't see you 259 00:48:55.560 --> 00:49:07.560 standing like communion sentinels in the back there God bless you let's let's honor let's honor the Lord 260 00:49:07.560 --> 00:49:30.560 partake of communion thank you it was in the back can I just feel the oh hallelujah we're 261 00:49:30.560 --> 00:49:33.560 going to receive communion go ahead and just hold on to the communion elements 262 00:49:33.560 --> 00:49:48.560 and we'll receive all together let's read John chapter 10 verse 10 263 00:49:48.560 --> 00:49:54.560 the thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy I have come that they might have 264 00:49:54.560 --> 00:50:05.560 life and that they may have it more what say it again one more time when you think of God I want you to 265 00:50:05.560 --> 00:50:16.560 think big abundance when you think of how God gives think big abundance you never see Jesus giving 266 00:50:16.560 --> 00:50:24.560 just enough that's why he made a hundred and twenty to a hundred fifty gallons of wine at the wedding feast 267 00:50:24.560 --> 00:50:31.560 in Canaan of Galilee that's enough for an army to drink on he made it for a wedding party why big 268 00:50:31.560 --> 00:50:36.560 God that's why when he caused Peter to catch the fish he didn't throw him six or seven fish 269 00:50:36.560 --> 00:50:45.560 then that's began to break the boats began to sink what does that mean big God abundant God when he fed 270 00:50:45.560 --> 00:50:53.560 five thousand it took up twelve baskets of leftovers you know what he's really doing when he does that 271 00:50:53.560 --> 00:51:02.560 he's winking at humanity and going this is my way my style oh big God that's what he's doing looks 272 00:51:02.560 --> 00:51:10.560 much better than how I just did it but you get the idea I'm big I give big I am big I'm abundant 273 00:51:10.560 --> 00:51:18.560 and then we're not that way and then we transfer that over on God and think he's not that way how dare we this is 274 00:51:18.560 --> 00:51:26.560 why listen when the queen of Shiba visited Solomon she was so impressed with him and what God had given 275 00:51:26.560 --> 00:51:34.560 him it's read the scripture when Solomon meets Shiba and she comes in and she says she looked at his 276 00:51:34.560 --> 00:51:40.560 palace and was like oh and then she looked at his servants and how they were dressed and she was like 277 00:51:40.560 --> 00:51:47.560 oh then she looked at his bankening table oh then she looked at the golden shields that stood in a door in the palace 278 00:51:47.560 --> 00:51:55.560 oh and then it says when she looked at everything there was no more spirit within her you know what that means she fainted 279 00:51:56.560 --> 00:52:03.560 it was like his house big God his bankening table big God his servants not just that he has servants 280 00:52:03.560 --> 00:52:11.560 but they all look like kings it's one thing to have servants but the servants look like kings oh big big oh big God 281 00:52:11.560 --> 00:52:19.560 and she hit the deck and Jesus hears proclaiming his bigness this is what perisose which means abundant 282 00:52:19.560 --> 00:52:26.200 this is the definition of it from the Greek and then we'll take communion to that huh hallelujah 283 00:52:28.040 --> 00:52:34.840 perisose abundant means super abundance excessive you walked in you thought oh pastors weren't an 284 00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:44.520 excessive sweater today I know I want to be more like God excessive religious people always want 285 00:52:44.520 --> 00:52:52.440 balance can we have it balance well yeah but it has to be according to God's balance all right so 286 00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:56.520 God's bound if you look at Jesus' message it wasn't a balanced message it was pretty radical and 287 00:52:56.520 --> 00:53:04.200 extreme so I want God's balance and sometimes his balance is excessive in our eyes I mean super 288 00:53:04.200 --> 00:53:12.360 abundant excessive overflowing surplus over and above more than enough it's one of the names of 289 00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:21.320 God more than enough Jehovah gyra profuse extraordinary above the ordinary more than sufficient 290 00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:32.440 superior in quality and overflowing in quantity shout hallelujah and partake partake of the body 291 00:53:32.440 -->

bringing their gifts to the Lord's temple we have had enough 304 00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:15.080 to eat and plenty to spare the Lord has blessed his people and all this is what left over 305 00:55:15.240 --> 00:55:24.520 says when they came to give they realized oh we're giving but we're actually multiplying as we're 306 00:55:24.520 --> 00:55:31.560 giving and now we have leftovers when you're a giver what you've given is returned to you 307 00:55:31.560 --> 00:55:38.040 and abundance on top of that so you have left over give with a glad heart the giving information 308 00:55:38.040
