SPEAKER_00

In Jesus' name. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord.

SPEAKER_01

Amen. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_00

I got all the God.

SPEAKER_01

He wanted to go with him. God forbid him wanted to go. And uh God said unto him. Numbers twenty-two in verse twelve. And God said unto the shall not go with him.

SPEAKER_00

Don't go with him.

SPEAKER_01

Don't go. Now oftentimes people teach that Balaam was some type of diviner.

SPEAKER_00

Balaam was a prophet. And Balaam knew God.

SPEAKER_01

And God told him, Don't go.

SPEAKER_00

And uh curse the people because it is frivolous, because the people are blessed. And Balaam 13 said, the Bible says, verse 13, Balaam rose up in the morning and said unto the prince of Bala, get into your land, the Lord refuses me to leave to go with you.

SPEAKER_01

So then they came back again to promote him.

SPEAKER_00

And uh as they went again, and he said, If you would give me in verse 18, if you would give me this house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord, my God, to do less or more. I can only do and say what God gave me. Even today, as I'm standing here preaching the word of God, I will not go beyond what God has told me to say. I will only do and say what God told me to do. We need more people that will only do and say what God told them to do and how God told them to do it. Oftentimes, too many people do go too long and go too more extra than what God has said. What God says, say it. When God says, say it, when God is done saying it, go sit down. Amen. You don't need to say no more. Just say what God tells you to say. And uh the Bible says in verse number 20, I'm just getting you to a point. And uh God came unto Balaam that night and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up and go with them. But yet the word which I say unto thee, thou shalt do. So God tells him at first, Don't go. Then God tells them, if they come again, go. And Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, verse 21, and went with the prince of Moab. Verse 22, here's the point I want to get. Then we go into chapter 23. And God's anger was kindled because he went. Well, I thought God told him to go. Why would God be mad when God told him don't go? And then God told him to go, and then he went. And the angel of the Lord stood in the way of his adversary against him now, and he was riding upon his ass, and the two servants were with him. God knew what was in Balaam's heart, and he knew that he already wanted to go anyway. Because Peter tells us in 2 Peter that he was that dumbass speaking with a man's voice, who forbade the prophets with his madness. His madness was for the money. And so his heart was geared towards the money. Oftentimes in today's society, we got too many preachers preaching for money. Too many preachers, amen, prophesying for money or prophesying for money. Too many people following God, but not following God according to the word of God, but to their own ways. Amen. Yes, I can say that because I don't get a dime for preaching. I don't take any money from preaching. My God shall supply all my needs according to his riches and glory. Yes, I work a secular job. As a matter of fact, I won't be working up for five more days until I'm getting ready to retire in the name of the Lord. Glory be to God. That's a good place for me to shout. Y'all won't shout five more days. Let me over for me. Amen. And so he knew. Let me bring it down your road so you can understand. You ever wanted to do something and told somebody wanted to do something, you told them don't do it? But they wanted to do it anyway. And then you told it might be your children, well, go ahead and do it. Because you know they wanted to do it anyway. And that was the thing that was going on with Balaam and God. God told them don't go. Don't go. Then God said, Well, go ahead and go, I know you want to go. And then when he went, God said, I knew you wanted to go because you're all about money. But here's what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna put a word in you. And when I give you to speak, you better speak what thus saith the Lord. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. We need more preachers that know how to preach the word of the Lord. Amen. So the Bible says in chapter 23, and we get in there in chapter 23, the verse number one, and Balaam said unto Balak, Build here seven altars and prepare me seven oxes and seven rams. And Balak did as Balaam had spoken, and Balaam and Balak offered everyone a bullock and a ram upon the altar. And so he built an altar. Balaam knew how to get in contact with God. In order for you to be able to get something from God and to have a relationship, a word from God, you must be able to build an altar. You must be able to have a place where you can pray, a place where you can worship, and a place where you can be still until you hear from God. Yes, we got to be altar builders. Yes. It's amazing to me how things get quiet when you talk about prayer. You notice that? Things shifted when I talk about prayer. That lets me know that a lot of y'all ain't praying. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Men not to always pray, lifting up holy hands without dollar with wrath. Yes, we got to pray till things change. We've got to pray till we get a word from God. Where are my prayer warriors at? Where are my intercessors at? They don't mind getting down on their face before God and calling on the name of Jesus. He built seven altars. One wasn't enough. The Bible says, and Balaam said unto Balach, verse number three, he says to him, Stand by thy burnt offering, I will go. Preaventure, suppose the Lord will come to meet me. And whatsoever he showed me, I will tell thee. And he went on to a high place. And God did what? God met him. When you build an altar and you get before the Lord, God will meet you. That's why the enemy fights so hard with prayer. He fights so hard with time. He fights so hard with staying in that place. But when you build that altar, God will meet with you. Just like the Lord is going to meet with us on today. Those of us that have built an altar. Anybody here don't know how to build an altar? The Bible says that God met Balaam and he said unto him, I prepare seven altars. I have offered every uh upon every altar a bullock and a ram. And the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth. And said, Return unto Balaam.

SPEAKER_01

Thus shall you speak. Too many people speak. But not by God.

SPEAKER_00

Too many people running. But God did sound. He that is sent by God speaks the word of God. He speaks until God is finished. He yields his vessel to God that he might be used of God. And God, the Lord, put a word in Balaam's mouth. Glory to God. And he returned unto him, and lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, him and all the prince. Verse number seven, he took up a parable. He said, Balech, the king of Moab, hath brought me from Aram out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me, Jacob, and come defy Israel. How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? I don't care what people tell you. I don't care what people try to do to you. If you're blessed of the Lord, there's nothing they can do to curse you. I don't care what they try to do. They can put something down before you. They can go to consult the stars, the witches, the warlocks. But if God has blessed you, you already blessed. Anybody here know that you're blessed of God? Don't let the enemy try to make you think that you're cursed. Ain't no curse on my life. The Bible scripture teaches us the cursing is every man that hangs from the tree. Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. I'm not cursed, I'm blessed. Anyone here blessed? I'm blessed. I don't care how much you talk about me, I'm blessed. I don't care how much you don't agree with what I say, I'm blessed. I don't care how much you don't like that I'm returning, I'm blessed. I don't care how much you don't like what I got on, I'm blessed. I don't care, amen, what you don't understand or what you don't do. I know that I'm blessed. I'm blessed in my going in. I'm blessed in my coming out. I don't care if you don't like where I'm gone, I'm still blessed. Anybody blessing here on today? I know I'm blessed. How do you know that you're blessed? Because God won't let my enemies have the victory over me. It's I'm blessed because I made it through trials and tribulations, through what the enemy tried to do for my life. I'm blessed. Uh do me a favor. All my blessed people that know that you're blessed. Just look around and tell somebody, I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Now, if they act like they didn't really believe that you're blessed, turn to somebody else and say, Yes, I'm blessed. Whether you believe it or not, I'm blessed. I'm so blessed, I'm too blessed to be stressed with your mess. I'm blessed. I'm so blessed that I came in here today to bless the Lord. How many of y'all come in today to bless the Lord? Because I know where my blessings come from. I know what God is doing for my life. I need my freedom, just want to go ahead and bless the Lord right now. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I might not look like it, but I'm blessed. I might not have what you got, but I'm blessed. I might not feel too good, but I'm blessed. Can a demon in hell tell me I ain't blessed? I'm blessed of the Lord. Yes, I feel the Holy Ghost. What am I blessed people at in here? Blessed people know how to bless the blesser. Yes. Let me say that again. Somebody get this on tape. Let me say this again. Blessed people know how to bless the blesser. When you know where your blessings come from, when you know where your blessings flow, you don't let people call you anything but blessed. Y'all be seated. Let me do a little bit more work here. Do a little bit more word. The Bible says he took up a parable. He said unto him, the king of Mohav brought me from Abraham out of the mountains of the east and come curse Jacob and come defy Israel. How can I curse whom God has not cursed? Nothing or nobody is greater than God. He sets the standard. He's the one that defies us, he's the one that categorizes us, he's the one that has judgment, he's the one that makes decisions. Now, some of us are so blessed. Because God has blessed us. And we realize how blessed that we are. And we realize that we didn't deserve it. We don't have pompous attitudes, but we didn't know we don't deserve it. All I know is that God touched my life. Everything that God gives me to do is blessed. I know I'm talking to somebody. I didn't deserve it, but God touched my life. And now everything that I touch is blessed. Everywhere I go is blessed. Everything that I look at is blessed. Everybody around me is blessed. Yes, how many know that you're really blessed?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, hallelujah. Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Amen. The Bible says, How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? Or how shall I defy whom the Lord has not defied? How can I do something or say something God ain't done? From the top of the rocks, I see him. Glory to God. From the hills I behold him. Lo, the people shall dwell alone. God has separated a people by himself, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. He picked out a people that he called by himself. Who can count the dust of Jacob and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like this. Watch this. And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I told thee to curse my enemies. And behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. He says, I can't curse who's not cursed. See, you gotta watch the enemy because the enemy will allow you to go through some trials and some temptations, and God will allow it to happen. And the devil will try to convince you that your life is cursed. But there's no way in the world that you can say that you serve God and you got his spirit on the inside of you and you're obeying God that you're cursed. The devil is a liar. I'm so blessed. Tell somebody, I'm so blessed, that the blessings of God are overtaking me. Now see, you got to believe what you're saying. That the blessings of God are overtaking me. Here we go. You got to speak those things that be not as though they were. You've got to know that you're blessed. The Lord said that we're blessed. I believe it. Anybody believe it? Well, Pastor, you don't understand where I'm at right now. You don't understand what I got going on. You don't understand all these things are against me. I don't care. God still says you're blessed. God still said you're blessed. You're blessed in your situation. You're blessed in your circumstance. You've got to know in whom you have believed. And you've got to be more than persuaded that God is able to keep that thing until against that day. Is anybody persuaded in here? I'm blessed. Persuaded. Glory. But he couldn't curse him. I had folk talk about me. I had folks try to stab me in the back. I had folk, amen, go behind me and try to do things. I had folk, amen, say this wasn't gonna happen, and they wasn't, this wasn't gonna happen. And the only thing they found out that the anointing that God has on me made me blessed. Anyone know that you're blessed? Oh, I wish I could find some people that really know that you're blessed. I have some folks that I'm gonna mount the nothing. I have some folks that I wasn't gonna make it, but when I turned around, God just kept running on blessing me. Watch this. God will lead some of your enemies around. He told David, I prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemy. Yes, in the presence of your enemy. God won't get rid of all your enemies. He'll prepare a table so your enemy can see how blessed that you really are. Stop praying to God and get rid of your enemies. He's gonna get rid of some, he can leave some. He's gonna prepare a table. So they can just see how blessed that you are. Oh, I wish. I wish I had some folk that really knew that how blessed that you are. Yes, yes. Anybody know how blessed that you are? Don't have all that much in the back, but I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I know I'm blessed. You know you're blessed. I know I'm blessed. I'll tell you, I know I'm blessed. I know I'm blessed. I'm so blessed, I don't know what to do. I'm so blessed I can run right now. I'm so blessed, Brother Pedro. I'm so blessed. You heard what I'm telling you? I'm so blessed. I'm so blessed. Everything that I touch is blessed. You, those of you who I laid hands on, when these hands came on you, guess what? You blessed. You blessed, you know that you're blessed. Guess how you know that you're blessed. When it seems like there is no way, God always make a way. You blessed, honey. You blessed. Tell the Lord, thank you. Yes, I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Yeah, well, some of y'all know that you're blessed. Some of y'all don't know you're blessed. So I gotta go work a little bit more. So those who don't know you're blessed will say, I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Watch this. Y'all can be seated. Watch this.

unknown

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Glory to God. Thank you. Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Glory. Sometimes you gotta count them. You gotta name them one by one. Said unto him, he answered. Uh in verse number 12 of Mike, he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the Lord has put in my mouth? What God put in me has to come out of me. I sought the Lord. And the Lord put a word in my mouth. He said, Remind the people that they're blessed. You're blessed. Because certain of you are going through trials and tribulations, and it's your turn. Some of you are going through obstacles, but it's your turn. And the enemy will try to persuade you that you're not blessed. But God told remind you that you are blessed. Hallelujah. And you need to be reminded, amen, that God is on your side. And if God is on your side, if God before you, who can be against you. Let me do that again. If God before you, who can be against you? There's no one that can be against you. Yes, I'm blessed. Wait a minute. Let me take a blessed meter over here. Who's blessed over this section over here? Who knows that you're really blessed over here? Who knows that God is running on your side? Who knows the number the hell you come through? God just let your enemies overtake you. God just kept my no blessing you through it. Even when you did wrong, God still raised you up. Glory to God. Let me take a blessed part of this side. How many of you know we know that you're black? How many of you know you know this mother? But the Lord keeps my own blessing me. The Lord is blessing me right now. Even right now. I say the Lord is blessing you. Even right now. I say right now. Glory to God. Yes. Hallelujah. Yes. Hallelujah. He's blessing you right now. Christy, right now. When I say right now, I mean right now. The Lord is blessing you. Lift your hands up, Christy. Right now, the Lord is blessing you. The Lord is blessing you right now. And the devil is mad. But ain't nothing he can do about it. God put a word in my mouth. And God told me to tell you, honey, you're blessed. Too blessed to be stressed with a whole bunch of mess. Glory. Glory. Thank you. Lord put a word in my mouth. I can only speak what God gave me to speak. The Lord says, shower's a blessing. Shower's a blessing. You can't take what the devil's doing negatively. You gotta take it positively. That if God wasn't about to bless me and I wasn't blessed, the devil wouldn't be messing with me. Amen. The Bible says, and Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee with me unto another place. From whence thou might see as them, that thou might see the uttermost parts and curse me them. So Balak said, Maybe if you move to another place, you saw them and they were blessed. But maybe if you move to another place, you'll be able to see them as being cursed. And I come today to tell you, I don't care where they move to. I don't care what view they view of you. You still blessed. I don't care if you go in the mountain and look, I'm still blessed. I don't care if the devil try to take me in the valley. I'm still blessed. Because the God that I serve is not just God of the mountain, he's a God of the valley. Well, my blessed people out in here. I'm blessed. I was thinking today. Where's Sister Anne at? I was thinking today on my way to church. Me and my wife were talking about the sister whose daughter was going through with her baby on the verge of uh, what did I say the name of it was called? Preclampsia. That can kill you. And I was thinking about how detrimental childbirthing is. And how that people die giving birth. And how us that have children and went through that and didn't die, and God blessed us through that, we're blessed people. You ought to be shouting right now, and all the mothers in here. You ought to be shouting right now. I'm blessed. She said, and you almost didn't make it. You went seven, but the Lord blessed you. Why did God bless me? Because I'm blessed by God. Hallelujah. We're all the women that are in here that know that you're blessed.

SPEAKER_02

You're blessed.

SPEAKER_00

Hear about no devil. Hear about what the haters are saying. Hear about the distractions of that. You know, the devil don't want you to know that you're blessed. I want you to know that you're blessed. I come to tell you, serve notice on you. You come over here to join this ministry. You blessed. Your pastor is blessed. His wife is blessed. The church is blessed. And you just walked into a blessing. Glory be to God. Hallelujah. Yes, you just walked into a blessing. Glory to God. Let me finish. I got a second service to go to a three. Let me give you what the Lord put in my mouth. Amen. Bible said, He said, Let's go up to another place.

SPEAKER_01

And he brought him to the field of Zophim to the top of Tiskah. And uh beheld seven altars and every bullock and a ram.

SPEAKER_00

And he said unto Balach, stand here by my burnt offering while I meet the Lord yonder. Take you somewhere else. See, can you curse these people?

SPEAKER_01

Can't curse us. I don't care if you get uh what's the name of the woman? Uh Cleo.

SPEAKER_00

Cleo. I don't care if you get Rio. I don't care if you get a witch. I don't care if you get a warlock. I don't care who you get. You can't curse what God has already blessed. I want you to know you can't do it. You can't do it. You can't do it. We'll ride a witch right out of here. We'll throw the curse back on them a hundredfold. For every person trying to keep you out of the house of God. I curse them in the name of Jesus Christ. For every devil is trying to stop you from serving God. I come against that demon in the name of Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_02

Yes?

SPEAKER_00

You got to know that you're blessed. The Bible says the Lord met Balaam and put a word in his mouth. And said, Go again unto Balach and say this. And when he came to him, behold, he stood by the burnt offering. And the prince of Moab and Balach said unto him, What have God spoken? So he's got a crowd. You know, God will break before your enemies. And uh he took up another parable and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear. Hearken unto me, you son of Zapor. God is not a man that he should lie. Neither the son of man, that he should repent. Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or have he spoken? And shall he not make it good? If God said it, it's gonna happen. If God spoke it, he'll make it good. And God said it, and God spoke it. That the people of the Lord are blessed. Yes? God's blessing. It is conditional. He tells him, Behold, I have received commandment to bless. And he has blessed. And I cannot reverse it. God gave me a commandment to bless you. And no matter what they tried to do, it cannot be reversed. God called you blessed. And that's why when some of us, amen, God called us blessed. When some of us got out of the will of God, God could begin to strategically, strategically draw us back. So He wanted us to be blessed. Yes? He commanded it to be blessed. And then the enemy will bring all kinds of obstacles to make you think that you're not blessed. I ain't blessed. I ain't got no money. You are blessed. Because your God owned cattle on a thousand hills. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. You are blessed. Well, I'm still in pain with my body. You still bless. But by his stripes, you're healed. Yes, I'm still blessed. I'm still, when I look at the world and the condition of the world, all those people in Africa dying of the Ebola virus. And that virus ain't made it over here to us. Thank God, we're blessed. When I go to the Philippines next month, those people in the Philippines, a lot of them work in these gold mines. Where the international people have already extracted all the gold out of the mines, and there's nothing in there but dust. They had a video I was watching the other day of the Philippines, some of them were in our church in the Taboli. And they were going in those small little mines, the shafts about that tall, about that wide. And they had these makeshift things that they were carrying out dirt out of the shafts of the mines. Because in that dirt, they take the dirt and then they sift through that dirt and try to find gold dust. And take the gold dust to make money to live every day. To live. Some of them lose their lives in the mines. He, none of us got to work like that here. We're blessed. Hallelujah. We're blessed. I look at folk over there in the countries that I go to, going days without food. And we take it for granted because we don't have steak and all we've got is hamburger. Well, you better be blessed with that hamburger. Honey, we bless. We blessed. We bless. Because we got most of some have. We blessed. Then we forget even to pray over our food and tell God, thank you for the little bit that I have. But I want to know today. Is anybody grateful for what the Lord is doing?

SPEAKER_02

We're blessed.

SPEAKER_00

I'm in the countries in Africa where certain folks they wear the same thing day in and day out. Some of y'all talking about, I ain't wearing this, I wore that last week, and I ain't wearing that. They see what I got on and they can say, Who cares? Amen. We're blessed. We're blessed. We're blessed. Y'all, some of y'all got closes full of clothes. I know y'all do because I see what y'all wearing here. Y'all got clothes full of shoes over running in the closet. Y'all blessed. Y'all blessed. Bunch of blessed folk. And then some of them won't pray. Some of them won't come to the house of God. Some of them won't give God honor, won't give God glory, but God is blessing us in the house. We're blessed people. Somebody give God a shout of praise. The devil can keep me down. I know I'm blessed of God. I know I'm blessed of God. Yes. Some of y'all got FedEx coming to the house. The place you work for, what's the name? Amazon. Yes? My camera's going crazy on my porch. Every time I look at my phone, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom. And I write, baby. But it's okay. Because God has blessed you to be able to do that. Tell God, thank you. The Bible says, When God has blessed, I received commandments to bless. He is blessed, and I cannot reverse it. Now, I told you that God's blessings are conditional. Let me tell you why he couldn't curse the people of God. Very next verse. He says this. Here's the reason why I can't curse the people. And you're blessed. He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob. Watch this. Jacob wasn't sinning. That's why the devil tries to get us to get out of the will of God to take us out of the blessing of the Lord. Oh, y'all got to hear what I'm saying here. Y'all got to I'm going to show you. It's conditional. It is conditional. See, a lot of folk in the church walking around talking about they're blessed but living like the devil. That's the lie of the devil. You can't be blessed and serve the devil. It's conditional. You've got to listen to God. Uh-oh. Ain't nobody hollering now. You've got to follow God. Y'all still blessed in here? Y'all still blessed. See, I know you glad you're back. Y'all still blessed in here. Here's the reason why I can't curse him. Here's the reason why I can't be reversed. He has not beheld iniquity. Chanel said, go ahead. He had not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. They're not breaking the commandments of God. They're living for God. And so when you're living for God and doing what God tells you to do and obeying God, you're a blessed people. Oh, glory to God. You're a blessed people. Now watch this. And the Lord. His God is with them. So he said, I can't curse these people. They ain't done nothing. They're trying to serve God. And the Lord is with them. And there's a shout of a king among them. They're not walking in sin. They're not walking in unrighteousness. And there's a praise coming out of the camp. How do you know God is with them? Because he inhabitants the praises of his people. There's a sound coming out of the camp. See, there's a different sound that the people give off that know that they're blessed. It's not a sound of bondage, it's a sound of freedom. And that's why I push y'all to worship God and to give God glory, to praise God. Because there's a sound in the house of God. Yes, there's a sound of a child of a king among the people. Well, you know that God is among you. I told you earlier you want to bless the blesser. How many of you know that God is among us? So you just might as well go ahead and bless the blesser. Go ahead and bless the blesser. You know he's among you. Go ahead and bless the blesser. There's a sound, a sound of gratitude, a sound of being grateful, a sound of knowing that you're not doing it on your own. God is providing for you. A sound, amen, that you let go. That God, that without you, I can do nothing. A sound that God is on my side. A sound to God be the glory. No matter where I find myself at, to God be the glory. Oh, I need about seven of you that really want to make a sound for our God. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. There is no sin. No iniquity. There's a shout coming out of the can. See, you can't really worship and praise God. And sin. The devil will pull you back to guilt and shame. Too guilty, too shameful. But when you know, amen, that it's not about you, but it's all about him. We're not worthy. But he's worthy. Now, churches teach people, oh, you're blessing, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless, bless. But blessings are conducive upon obedience. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Watch this and we get ready to go. Watch this. Brother Mike. In the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 28, verse number one. Here we go. He said, There's no sin, no iniquity. And uh we can't find them doing nothing wrong. Later on, when you finish reading the story, I'm gonna tell you what happened at the end. Can't find no sin, no iniquity. So what they later did was they consulted together. And they went and they called the men to sin and go a horn after women. Then the Lord stands up and he kills about 20 some thousand of them. See, the devil's got to get us to do something to pull us out of the will and safety of God. I know I'm preaching, right? I'm preaching better than y'all, amen. Amen. He got to get you out of the will of God. Just because you're in the church don't make you blessed. What makes you blessed is walking in obedience in the house of the Lord. Walking in obedience with God is what makes you blessed. Amen. Hallelujah. Watch this. Watch this. Line upon line, precept upon precept. Here, a little there, let's right divide the word of truth. It shall come to pass if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments, which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon thee, and these blessings shall overtake thee. If, somebody say, if, thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city. Blessing will overtake you. Blessed shall thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body. You blessed, and the fruit from your body, the veil's blessed. Y'all listen to me. You blessed, and your children are blessed. And the fruit of your cattle. And the increase of your kind. And the flock of your sheep. Everything that you got is blessed. You're not only blessed, but everything around you is blessed. Blessed will be thy basket and thy store. You're going to have abundance. Enough to put it in the storehouse. That's the blessing of God. Blessed shall thou be when thou come in, and blessed shall thou be when thou goest out.

Amen.

The Lord shall cause thy enemies to rise up against thee, to be spit before your face. Thou shalt come out against thee one way and flee before ye seven different ways. When we walk in obedience to God, no matter where we go, we're blessed. I'm doing all I know how to do to live for God. I'm doing all that I know how to do to serve the Lord. Not perfect. Might not dot every I and cross every T, but what I do know is that I'm not willfully sinner. And I know that everything that God's given me, I'm blessed with it. The blessing of the Lord makes it rich and add no sorrow to it. So God gave them commandments in the Old Testament. God gave them blessings and curses. What God gave them. And it was conditional about obeying God. And none of them really could keep the law. That's why the Bible said what the law could not do. God sent his son made of a law to condemn sin in his flesh. Jesus Christ lets us know that amen, that he came to redeem us from the curse of the law. For it is written, cursed is every man that hangs from the tree. But the Bible also teaches us, just because we're no longer under the law, should we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. So what that means is this as long as I'm holding on to God and following God, the best that I know how, I'm blessed. Anybody blessed in here on today? And my brother know that you're blessed in her on today. Blessed in the city. Blessed in the field. Blessed am I going out? Blessed am I coming in. Well, that means in this, when I got up out of my house this morning and got in my car, I was blessed. When I rode down the highway, I was blessed. When I walk through that door in the house of God, I'm blessed. When I leave out of here to go to the second service, I'm blessed. When I go back home tonight and eat some food, my wife cooked, I'm blessed. When I lay down at night, I'm blessed. When I get up, the Lord willing in the morning, I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Anybody blessed in here? You got to let yourself know I'm blessed of the Lord. You know, certain folk just won't like you. I don't care what you do, they just won't like you. And you can't allow them to stop you from knowing how blessed you are. Yes, I'm blessed, brother. Riding down the highway, your Camaro, you blessed. Yes. Riding down the highway, I'm blessed. Riding down the highway in my uh uh uh uh little little uh uh Camaro, my little uh Camary. Thank you, baby. I ain't got no Camaro in there, Cameron. I must be getting ready to get up. Lord Gary must be blessed me with a Camaro. Riding down the highway in my Camry, I'm blessed. I'm blessed. How many of y'all blessed? I I don't care where I'm at, I'm blessed. I didn't realize this. I know how far God would go to bless his people. Went through a whole bunch of obstacles coming to the Lord, was facing 35 years in prison. Yes, sir. Didn't even know God. They suspended it all but five years. Now the five years, I only had to do 18 months. I'm blessed. Got baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ. The Lord filled me with the Holy Ghost. Now that I'm preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, not only national but international. Oh, I'm blessed. I'm blessed of the Lord. Anybody know you're blessed of the Lord? And as long as you're under this umbrella, you're blessed. Tell somebody, I'm blessed. Too blessed, too blessed to be stressed with their mess. Stop letting their mess stress you out. It's robbing you of your blessing. But I'm blessed. Do me a favor, hi-fi somebody and let them know how blessed that you really are. I'm blessed. Blessed in the city, blessed in the field. Blessed am I coming in? And blessed when I go out of here. How many of y'all know that you're blessed? I'm blessed. Mother Helen, you're blessed. Shouldn't even be here. But the Lord blessed you. You're blessed. You're blessed. Those of you who came in here on today, you're blessed. Being blessed don't mean you're not gonna have any problem. Doesn't mean that you're not gonna have any trouble. But being blessed means this that my God is on my side. And to God be the glory, I know where my victory comes from. And it comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Amen. God told me to remind you. Those of you who are following the Lord, those of you who are trying to go after God with everything that you have. God told me to remind you, no matter where you're at right now, no matter what you're going through right now, you're still blessed of the Lord. You're blessed of the Lord. And blessed people know how to bless their maker. In Jesus' name. Let's clap for the Lord.
