Not even close. But he... Course correction. That's what you got to do do it figured it out yeah absolutely now he's doing great marrying a great girl and um yeah i you know like i you know when you're you when you really like like your family like your family and like you're kind of watching the situation. She lived out of state, so we didn't get to really see her very much. It was probably a good thing for her because she might have ran for her life because our family's a little cray-cray.

But I wasn't too sure. She's super young. She's very young. I mean, we're all so stupid, but she wasn't she wasn't stupid but she's just very young and you sit there and go hmm I really like her now yeah I mean I wasn't didn't like her it's just I didn't know how right but you know what not like for her being a part of the family I think she's gonna do great that's awesome I know I'm like really happy about that. She's a very sweet girl. Yeah. And like she fits in really good and she tolerates Tommy because. That's a big thing.

That is a big thing. Because Travis and Tommy, Tommy ain't going nowhere. Right. And Travis ain't going anywhere for Tommy. Right. So whoever they end up with. Gonna have to like each other. Is gonna have to like each other.

Tommy's like, I like her. Good. She's, she's good. So good egg it makes a huge difference when you like your family huge because you can't pick them

I'm putting up my Christmas decorations. I knew it. Just so you know. I was going to ask you. Merry Christmas, everyone. I'm surprised you didn't start. It's the first. You're almost late. No, I knew it. I knew it. Just so you know. I was going to ask you. Merry Christmas, everyone. I'm surprised you didn't start. It's the first. You're almost late. No, I knew it was this weekend.

Stop. I knew it. I was like, she's, I was driving today. Slacking a little bit. She is. I literally was driving. I was like, Vanessa, we'll be, we'll be decorating all weekend long. Oh man, I can't wait.

Well, my, my Christmas tree comes in today. Oh, that's why. Oh, that's why. I needed. What did you get a new? Yes. Oh man, I can't wait. Well, my Christmas tree comes in today. Oh, that's why. Oh, that's why. What did you get in new? Yes. Oh, bigger? Taller? Yes.

Yes, yes, yes. All of the above. So. That's all I can say. Awesome. And so the one that I had last year is going into my bedroom.

Good. Oh. I love it. I love it. Oh my gosh. Of course, you don't get rid of trees. You just move them to the new bedroom. Good. Oh. I love it. I love it. Oh my gosh. Of course, you don't get rid of trees. You just move them to the new area. Yeah.

Always. Right. Absolutely. I gave my, I had a fake one. Yeah. And I think I gave that to somebody. No. No, I don't keep them.

You just bring it to the next room. No. It could be a kitchen tree. Tanya's not like fake trees. It could be a staff tree. The only reason I had to get that fake tree is because we like fake trees the only reason i had a big tree is because we didn't get out in time to get a real tree wow so we ended up having to do a fake tree but i like the next year the year after i think i ended up giving it courtney okay well that's nice

well i think hers went took the crap heap from ian oh yeah yeah destroyed that girl's whole house yep it's probably gone. Yeah. I can promise you. Yeah. She pretty much had nothing left after Ian. That blew in everything.

Yeah. Like her whole house, the whole back end of her house. Gone. Yep. Not good. Not good.

Gotta love the hurricanes. Yeah. The man-made hurricanes. Oh, hey. Bye-bye, Facebook. Allegedly. I was gonna say, bye, Facebook, bye, YouTube. Allegedly. Oh, hey. Bye-bye, Facebook. Allegedly. I was going to say,

bye, Facebook, bye, YouTube. Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly. See you later. For entertainment purposes only. That's what they say. That's how we keep it going. So, okay, you're decorating.

Yep. Sarah's doing nothing. You enjoy that because that's a rare moment. For real. Trace, what are you doing besides wedding? Yeah, wedding.

And then, oh, I think I'm voting. But I don't know. I want to vote on Election Day. Me too. Don't do it. Listen, calm down. I can't. But I think I'm going to do it on Saturday.

I feel pressured to vote early. I feel pressured too. I hope so. You need to make your vote. I hope so. Why won't it count on Election Day? I was concerned. No, because they can't mess with the early votes, too?

Right, right. No, no, no, no. They have a harder time messing with the early votes. And the reason is because there's enough time to count them. So they can't say, we don't have enough time to count them. They're tallying them up. And they're not, like, and what's happening with the early voting is they're seeing where like the Dominion votes are doing their little thing. And Laura Trump is getting in there and she's already filed lawsuits.

We've already won in Butler, PA. Like that's where early voting has really paid off big time. And the other advantage is. We don't have to deal with that, though, because Florida is kicking butt. Right, right. Well, that's what it is if there is a huge red wave prior to election day like what like all of a sudden all the democrats are going to come out on election day you know what i mean like if we if we wipe it well that's the other thing is they're seeing oh the red wave they're seeing the numbers of people turning out

and they're seeing there it's going to be a hard they're're going, not to say that they can't, because anything's possible with the evil and the deceptive. But it's really hard to prove right now that with the number of people who have turned out and that are voting and then the numbers that as they're coming out, it's going to be very difficult for them to beat these numbers because it's such a wide margin now. Like it's insanity how big of a difference there is. Now I will tell you, this might not work out if it wasn't such a big difference. So if they knew going in, this is where I don't like early voting because going into it, if it's a neck and neck kind of thing,

then they just know how many more votes that they need to get. But this being such a huge diverse difference, it's kind of like going to be hard for them to say with all of these early votings, we're going to shut down and now we're going to count and we're going to add more. It's going to be hard because this is the only time I think it'll work in our favor. Otherwise, if it was a neck and neck situation, then they would just know how many more votes that they need to create and drum up. Yeah. Because it would be close. Right. Otherwise,

I would not. I'm not a big proponent on voting early. I don't I don't agree with that. I'm like you guys. I don't vote early. I don't like it. In this situation, though, it's a must, I think. Yeah. But the other thing was that little disturbance we were watching. I was like, if they put that on Election Day and I can't vote on Election Day, I was like, I'm not going to miss out because of that. But it seems like that is still brewing, but it's not for Election Day. But then again, again, you just never know so that's

why i think we'll go saturday um and then yeah saturday night we have our wedding and then sunday i ordered my maga hat oh you did not or tuesday oh wait i might just choose violence on tuesday not not in like the way that you think. There goes Facebook again. And we're gone. Not in the way that you think. No, like biblical violence. It could go violent because I think people are going to go nuts. Which way? Like if you think...

If it doesn't go for Trump, I think it could get really ugly. But I will tell you, if it does go Trump, then there's a lot of paid people to create a lot of chaos. Correct. I mean, the amount of people, the diverse groups, the Hispanic vote, the black vote has never been larger. The independents are record numbers like like i don't even know

if i've ever heard the statistics of um the number of independents voting like this yeah like usually it's kind of like they're so moderate it's like it's not even like that like it is that's what i was gonna say you guys were telling me that weren't you are voting and with their horse and buggy with trump flags on the back it's getting and that's what i'm saying sarah like normally i would say don't vote early but it's like you have to because yeah pennsylvania hershey known it's it's um and that's where it counts this year it's not it's important and i think that's why they're doing it. Because they know. So the Amish are coming out.

They're like, I guess we got to go. Let's go. We got to show up. I wonder if they'll change their hats for a MAGA hat. Huh? Maybe they'll change their hats for a MAGA hat. Can you imagine? I don't know.

I've never heard of anything like this before. I ordered mine this morning. Me either. This is wild. It's either the Antichrist or he's just the antichrist is gonna be gay right didn't we decide that is that yeah because he won't he won't like women let me find the verse oh antichrist will be gay okay that makes sense now we just lost i think it's gonna be like remember on frazier the guy martin from frazier do you? Have you ever watched Frazier? The guy that played Martin. He was

a person that said he was no sexual. He didn't like women. He didn't like men. His character or who he was? In real life. He just didn't have any desire for any of them.

He didn't care. It says it's John. No, it's definitely not John 316. Hey, let me ask you this. Do either of you know, can an asexual actually like both sexes though? No, that would be bisexual. Because they go both ways?

Bisexual goes both ways. Wait, but this says... An asexual is nothing, right? Not interested at all. Yeah, that was him. It says having no evidence, sex or sex organs. Sexless. What? That's what asexual means.

According to... That's funny because that makes sense because somebody in the interview asked him something about his privates, but not really. Really? Yes, they did. And he said it like that?

No, he didn't. No, but he alluded to the fact that it wasn't an operation. Oh. Because they used the word, I said non-sexual, but it's called asexual, which I watched this interview once, right? And I was like, this is pretty wild

because a lot of the characters on Frasier were gay. Yeah. From Niles to Bulldog to the one that played the one that was the critic, the food critic. He was gay. And then there was another one that I can't think of. He was also gay. There's a lot of gay characters on Frasier.

Wow. But he was not. And that's one of the things. And they were basically, wait a minute, asexual is something. And I can't remember. Now you're making it all come back to me. And he was like, well, it's really like, it doesn't work. I wonder if he had the gift of singleness.

I know. Right. You know what I mean? Where like Paul said, it's better that you don't get married. I don't think that was his point though. I'm trying to tie it back into the scripture. Yeah, he was not godly at all. So they're saying on this

WebMD it says asexual spectrum. So it isn't the same for everyone. So there's like desire for close friendship but not sex. You fall in love. You choose to have sex. But he did not. He had no desire. And I guess it didn't operate. to have sex. How do you, I don't see it. But he did not, he had no, he had no desire

and I guess it didn't operate. Which is also impotent. I feel like he said, well, yeah, but it wasn't because it wasn't that. It was not because

he was impotent. It just didn't want anything. Which is usually sad because it's usually abuse. You know what I mean? Like, it's usually some kind of, like,

early abuse when it ends up being, like, that extreme is what I would assume.'s usually some kind of like early abuse when it ends up being like that extreme is what I would assume if faith is not attached absolutely and not clearly it's not anyway so the antichrist is he gay or not no he's asexual then we come to tell me the antichrist what do you think do we read the verse yeah what's the verse? Daniel 11, 37. He will show no regards for the gods, little G, of his ancestors, or for the ones desired by women, nor will he regard any gods,

but will exalt himself above them all. And then some other ones say that he doesn't have the desires of women or by women. That ain't Trump. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That ain't Trump. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That ain't Trump. So.

Because a lot of people have thought he was the Antichrist. I would have to study that out a little bit more. I don't know. Study it out. He's talking about the gods of his ancestors and stuff. Like there's a little bit more there. I don't know. Isn't that interesting?

I never really thought about the sexuality of the Antichrist. I read Daniel a bunch, and I don't even remember that being in there. Yeah. I love that. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. You're very welcome. I'm going to pay attention to that. I'll send a question in to ask the whole pile.

Will the Antichrist be gay? I don't think he can be gay. Okay. I have a hair that's driving me crazy. I don't think he can be gay. Well, maybe he can be. Listen, why not? He's not interested in women.

Right. It would be anti what God would, like, honor. It's fair. That's fair. I think Tim walks with the definition. Oh, my gosh. Get old tampon Tim. That's fair. I think Tim walks with that distinction. Oh my gosh. Get old tampon Tim. Yeah.

Maybe. I think maybe then, could he be? Who knows? Someone said it's Obama in the chat. I, you know. Michael? What? Actually, he is running.

Listen, he does run. Listen. He's pulling the strings here. Actually, Vanessa, that's a good point because he is known. Good job, Anne-Marie. Yeah, it was Anne-Marie. Oh, way to go, Anne-Marie. Yeah.

That is absolutely because, seriously, he is 100% in my opinion based on what I hear. Again, entertainment purposes only. The word on the street, based on what I hear. Again, entertainment purposes only. The word on the street, the gossip that I hear. Allegedly. Allegedly. Well, no. People have literally come out and said, I had a homosexual relationship with him.

Oh, for entertainment purposes only. I mean. The homosexual relationship was for entertainment purposes. I don't know. I'm trying to say it for YouTube so that we don't get booted. But I think this is like 17 now. I've had at least two strikes. You do.

I'm not saying his husband's name. Okay. So I'm okay. His husband's name. Because the last time I said his husband's name several times, we got suspended. Okay. Okay. It's true.

So I'm trying to stay away from that. Let's stay away from that one. I mean, it's just going to rumble. I'm staying away from algorithm words. I know. We're trying and failing miserably today. I'm probably going to get a strike. Yep.

We'll find out. Wouldn't be the first or the last. Who needs YouTube anyway? Huh? I know, YouTube. Who needs YouTube? we'll find out wouldn't be the first of the last anyway huh who i know youtube who needs youtube i'm a pretty i'm about to kick youtube and facebook right on out yeah come on i'm who's even on facebook anymore nobody well they are they just don't let us see them right that's part of the problem it's true we have 22 22,000 followers. Don't even. The church has 22,000 followers.

Don't get me started, Hope. Don't even get me started. The thing is, it's proven. They don't let you. People say I comment, and they won't let it go through. Don't even get me started. Huh. Or they are watching.

They don't let you see them. You can't see it. There's no way. Fine, I'm going to get started. There's no way you can have 22,000 followers and have six people watching across two platforms on Facebook. It's impossible. Especially because there's people who are like literally going on there. It's not even just they're scrolling and they happen to come across it.

It's like they know it's 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's absolutely impossible. It's not possible know it's 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning or whatever. No, it's absolutely impossible. It's not possible. Pastor Rodney goes through this on Facebook. He has, I can't even tell you how many followers. And he'll only have like, it'll have

less than 200 people watching. When we first started watching him on Facebook, he had well over a thousand people. Just, and YouTube does the same thing with him. So for me, like it's not him on Facebook, he had well over a thousand people. And YouTube does the same thing with him. So for me, it's not real. What's funny is

we've even done some, I think Aaron did this funny little test or something like that. One time, he was watching Facebook and we had more people commenting than they said we had watching. It's like, how can that happen? It can't. It's impossible. It can't happen.

It's impossible. It's not even possible. It's just, it's so, it's not true. It's not right. I know. It's just crazy. Yep. Yeah.

What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Liars. That's what they are, liars. Exactly. Yep. The father of lies, the devil. Father of lies.

They're the devil. Yep. Okay. 25 minutes in. Go do your thing. All devil. Father of lies. They're the devil. Yep. Okay. 25 minutes in. Go do your thing. All right. Here we go. All right.

So if you are on Facebook, just comment and then go over. Ed Cruz. Example. Head over to Rumble. I'm going to drop the link in there for you. She's calling people out. I'm going to make it as easy as possible. But thank you for commenting before you head over.

Yeah. Thanks for watching, bud. Good job, Eddie. I didn't even know he was on there. I know. He said even the intro song is gay of the Fraser show. Hey, I like that show. Watch it.

He's just saying the intro song. I was a middle schooler watching Fraser. But Kelsey Grammer is totally hetero. Yeah. 100% hetero. Right, right. You wouldn't know it, though, because he even acts a little flaky and funny. What is it called?

I can't remember. My dad used to call something light in the loafers. Oh, that's good. That's old school. Light in the loafers. That's funny. A little old school. A little Liberace-esque.

Funny. Okay. So if you are, head over. We got the loafers. That's funny. A little old school. A little Liberace-esque. Funny. Okay. So if you are, head over. We got the link right there. Easy peasy. Just click on it. And then head over. We got the live chat going.

Got a bunch of people over in Rumble. So if you are there, let us know who's watching. And then also, if you're not following, there's a little button right there. So just click follow. Make sure you like it. And you can use the comment section if you need to use the comment section for anything. But the live chat is up and going. We are on YouTube as of now.

And so we'll see what happens. But you can subscribe. Like I say all the time that if you are subscribed, usually you'll get an email unless they are blocking that as well. But usually get an email to let you know that we're live. We go live 10 minutes before and have our little countdown video. So around 2.50, it should pop up in your email just as a little reminder.

And then we also have our audio podcast and blackrovetv.com. Anywhere that you listen to any of your podcasts, we are available on there. And yeah, that's pretty legit for it. So like and share, do all the things, let your people know. If you wanna hop onto Instagram,

you can also share the most recent post, which just says live today. You can go click your Rumble if you wanna go above and beyond and be an A-plus student, because I know I have a lot of A-plus students in the live chat. If you want to go and just click the link in Rumble. And then if you share our Instagram post, you can just add

a link to it and you never know who's going to pop on and watch. You know, we, it's so cool because when Talia's here, we have like a teenager and then we have our generation and then we have the next generation and it's just, it's really, and then we have hope, but for real, we have the next generation and it's just, and then you have me and then we have hope, but for real, we have all these different people, all different walks of life. And so I really feel like anybody can, you know, relate to us and even just different walks of life, not even age groups either. So, um, yeah, so just share it with your people. You never know who's going to pop on. And at this point they already think you're crazy cause you go to foundation church. So just share the link of this what else what else why not add to it and then while you're at it

send in a question like is the antichrist gay and then we can ask these questions you know the holidays are coming up so if you have questions about how to deal with certain things during the holidays or you know any I don't know, just anything. Just it's, it's always fun to hear where you guys are at. I know, I know, I know you guys have lots of questions because you'll ask me in my private time. And so I'm always like, Hey, send that into the whole pot line. And most of you do. So thank you for doing that. But just like that, while you're thinking about it you know, if there's context attached to it, that's really helpful too, so that we can kind of target what you're, what you're like, what answer you're looking looking for otherwise it'll be like an overall answer

but you guys always have really great questions and some of you are so new to this walk that you'll have great biblical questions and then some of you are you know been in doing this forever and now you just have like family questions or questions about like how to deal with you know situations with your spouse or kids or whatever so So yeah, send those in.

And then we're going to go down to Key Largo. And then I think Jer will meet us at some point. He's been so busy with work. And so, um, I didn't feel like I really wanted to go to the mountains. Actually, my original plan was Asheville and then, uh, obviously they're not doing so well. So kissed Asheville right in the Valley. Yeah. Coming back to us. Yeah. So that, that wasn't going to be a thing. So we are leave Thursday night and then I'll be there yeah I will be there through the weekend and just do something for my 40th I would love to just lay in the Sun when my son inch yeah exactly exactly have some blonde hair by next week yeah thank

you guys for the birthday wishes and so, we're excited to go and just get away for a couple days. She's going to have fun. Yeah, have a good time. It's a big one. I know. That's awesome. 40s. I love my 40s.

I'm glad. I'm glad. I love hearing when people say that to me. 40s is great. 40s is fabulous. I'm excited. 50s is fantastic. See?

And then I have that To look forward to It just keeps getting better Yeah It really does I don't care what anybody says For me I don't feel any different Than 18

I know That's weird Even like my body Doesn't hurt or anything like that They say You know You get aches and pains I'm three years from 60

That's amazing So come on Yeah That's goals Give me a break Yeah Give me a break It doesn't Yeah. Give me a break. It doesn't have to hurt.

But unless you do something in the gym. Well, yeah. And then, well, I don't know. And then you recover. Yeah. It's fine. But you don't have to feel old. I don't care what anybody says.

Amen. You do not have to feel old at all. Amen. Do not follow the subscription of what the world says. They think that that's like, I feel like people like complaining about getting older, it's endearing. It brings attention. It's like people feel when I'm, it's not, they're endeared to that. Not that people are endeared to you because of that. Yeah, right. People like the idea of growing older and having something to like fixate on.

Yeah. Instead of the opposite, which is like thriving in life. Yeah. But if you notice, people always are like, are you just like the aches and the pains. It's all downhill from now. You're 55. What are you talking about? I know.

Come on. You should be embarrassed to talk like that. But instead, people are like, embracing it. Right. Which makes no sense

to me whatsoever. It goes against everything that the Bible tells us to. True. So. True. Somebody over there

wants to say something. Does anybody want to say something? No. Sarah's dealing with some aches and pains because she did body pump. Hey. Like you said, that's a whole not a reason. And that's how it should be. Well, I actually,

I love it when my body hurts like that. Me too. Because then you know you've done something did it I know except for like the first couple weeks of when you first start working out and you don't feel like you can actually get up off the toilet yeah that my friend pull a muscle that's not pleasant doing the wrong move like when we both heard that stomach thingy oh I've done that once ab muscle but it's this ozayic or I don't know

it's in your stomach and it's like underneath your rib cage. That's not fun. That was pretty rough. Yeah. But outside of that like I like feeling sore.

Yeah. I like feeling like okay you did something in the gym. Yeah. You actually worked out. Yeah.

The other stuff no. No. Not when it's like flu like when it's like it feels like you have the flu which probably means you went too hard. But how can you not when you're super competitive? That's true. Always pushing

yourself to do more. Oh, look at that pretty little girl. Do you see who I'm talking about? Yeah, I do. Somebody just walked past just so you know. In this room we have windows. And in this room we can see people walking by and they're always waving to us saying see you later i'm doing

a podcast see you later yeah she just walked through big smiles mouth open yeah i love her i do too beautiful girl yeah okay you don't you't care. So let's go to the first question. Okay, let's do it. It says, why does it seem like every time I have a breakthrough and God does something big, something breaks or something falls apart? Golly, man. How many of us have been there and done that? Yep.

Oh my gosh. I totally feel you on this one. I tithe, I pray, I trust God for the overflow, but it feels like a vicious cycle. I wish I could give you a hug. I don't know who you are, but I don't think there's anyone in this room that does not feel exactly like how you feel not one yep been there and still there sometimes still there sometimes but you know what when um something breaks or something goes wrong you know what the first thing i always go is uh when there's always extra, I've said this to Tom, I'm like, how come every time there's something, we have extra, something happens and that extra is gone. And then I stop myself and I'm like, it says he'll meet every need.

And he does meet once, but it says he'll meet every need. Okay, so he's met that need. He knew that that thing was gonna break and I'm then I'm like shut up shut the shut up because you didn't have that before and now you do and now you can pay to have that fixed what if I didn't have that then I'd be scrambling going uh well how are we gonna fix this we don't have the finances for it right he meets every meets every need. And so for me, I'm like, I sit there and go to you, think about the times, like I think about the times before when I didn't have the Lord and I didn't know what I was going

to do because I didn't have the finances to fix what needed to be fixed or, you know, figure out how to unbreak what was broken. And it's a sweet place to be where every need is met. You might not be getting ahead right now, but it's in these times where your faith grows. And knowing that he had just the finances or the situation set up for you just in the right time so that even though you're like want to throw your hands up in the air and roll your eyes in the back of your head, you actually should be like being thankful and going, oh, wait a minute. You know what? You knew this was going to happen. You made sure I had the provision and I may not have gotten ahead, but I have what I need. And being thankful and a thankful heart is huge. And I've had more than enough. I'm like Paul,

I've learned to be content in the having more than enough and the, you know, just having every knee met. Both of them are sweet spots. You have to learn to be able to handle both of them being content and they're both sweet because my faith has grown exponentially because of seeing how God makes things play out for me when things don't go the way that I thought that they would go or when something breaks and I need the finances to fix that. And then it's just there. And then I've had more than enough where I'm like just paying people's bills or buying things that people need or blessing others or getting something that I want just because I want it. And God made sure that I had more than enough to get it.

So life is very much like that. But I will tell you, if you're doing ministry, it gets worse, not better. And they're laughing over there because they know. The moment you step out into ministry, you are on Satan's radar. So if you are doing ministry, that might be the reason why. But if you're new in your walk and you're taking some new steps of faith, like paying your tithe, and you've never really done that before, you'll see where you're going to get raises and you're going to get things that didn't happen to you before when you didn't pay tithe. But then you're

also going to see where Satan's going to come against you because he's going to try and make you believe that the covenant that is in the word does not exist and it's not true to its word. So he's going to try. He's a liar. So he's going to put try and thwart God's plan for you. And you just need to be strong and stand and not believe the lies and not fall prey to any kind of distraction because he wants to do that. But the more you do for him, the more Satan's going to come against you. But you'll win every time. And that's the thing you cannot forget through the whole entire process. That in the midst of being in a very deep valley, maybe, and it doesn't have to be that deep.

I mean, sometimes, I mean, I have gone through some pretty bad bad lows I didn't even know I was in the midst of a low because spiritually where I was at it didn't feel like it was anything because I was in the I was in the right place but I would be remiss in saying that that's always the case because there have been times in my life that spiritually I wasn't like going after it like I should. And when I hit those lows, they were low. And I was like, okay, God, I know your word is true, but this ain't easy. And I don't like where I'm at. Okay. Well, that too, but I still won because I don't quit. You can't quit. You just need to know that doing things the kingdom's way does not mean it's always going to be easy,

but it always means you win. And God will always see you through. He will always come through for you. And if you pay your tithe, and I'm not talking about giving. Giving is not paying your tithe. If you give your tithe, the word is true, and God will never, ever, ever lie, and he will never not keep to his word.

And you don't ever have to worry about anything. It will always come to pass. Like his word says, you'll never want for anything. Every need will be met. And then you'll have so much that your storehouse will come and it'll be overflowing. You just have to be patient. And again, ebb and flow.

Once you get to the top, it doesn't mean that things aren't going to come. You're going to have to have some expenditures. You might see that bank account get a little low, but you're going to see that thing climb right back up. You know, faith. That's what faith is all about. And it's not a bad thing. People think it's such a bad thing. It's not a bad thing. It's a great thing. The word never fails and he'll never fail you. I have some scriptures, but I don't want you to quit. But I want the girls to address it before I go to the scriptures that tell you who you are and that his word is not a lie and he'll never fail you. girls you want to add because i could tell stories yeah but i've only got 20 minutes i know so i'm gonna let them share their stories because i always talk about myself go ahead girls

you want to tell tell that tell um this person what's up what's up i don't i don't have like specific stories but every time i encounter a situation i I just tell myself, pass the test, Vanessa. Pass, pass the test. Because you have a choice. You can respond in one way, and it's not fruitful. And you can, like, get discouraged, and you're kind of stuck in it. Or you can respond in the way that the word tells us to. In James, it talks about, about you know consider it pure joy an opportunity for for great joy for when for you know what that when your faith your faith is

tested your endurance has a chance to grow so in every opportunity i just i i tell myself audibly sometimes, pass the test, Vanessa. The poor woe is me gets you nowhere. Yeah. It gets you. Listen, I've done it. I've tried it. And I accomplished nothing. So learn from somebody.

Wisdom is when you learn from somebody else. I'm just telling you it's a waste of your time. You will not win at all. But yeah, pass the test. Because you will keep having at all. But yeah, pass the test. Because you will keep having that test repetitively until you do. And you don't want it.

I also know this too. Because I failed a bunch before I started passing. Tracy, Sarah? I always go back to, am I in the will of God? How do I know that?

1 Thessalonians 5, 16 through 18 says, Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks. This is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. If I'm doing those three things, it doesn't matter what it looks like. It doesn't matter what seems like it is coming against me. The other thing is, if there is something coming against me, guess what? God turns that around and uses it for my good. So I think about the arrow and the bow, right? You can't shoot an arrow toward its target unless it's pulled back first.

So anytime it seems like there's something coming against me, I'm like, let's go. How's this going to propel me into the next great thing that God has? And you are going to be stretched. We're all going to be stretched. We have to be. That's when your faith grows. But you have to be stretched. I mean, there's no option in it unless you want to stay stagnant

and stagnation you'll end up going backwards yeah that's the way it is but that bow has to that string has to be stretched in order to propel you you know you're gonna have to be stretched that's all there is to it my friend i have so many so many stories so many stories. So many stories. So many to grow. I know. So I'll say that what I've noticed in my life is that God really does, like you were just saying, I think the biggest revelation I had is that God really does meet your need. And you almost don't know until you look back because there was a season where we had to save our company and we were in a legal battle. And to this day, I don't know where that money came to be able to handle the cost of the business and to be able to cover a very expensive, expensive legal battle. I still don't really know how that happened. And I was thinking of, actually, it was on the way here today. I'm like, where the, how did that, how do we cover such a moment, like a huge cost? Yeah. Like, I mean like insane cost and then still run the

company and we were never, we didn't go under like, how did that happen? And I just, it's just God. I don't, there's no explanation, but you're in the moment. It's like, like you're writing these checks and you're like, I don't know how we're going to do it. And then you do, and there's money in the bank and you took, we never didn't cover payroll. Like it just, we always had what we needed. And so, um, yeah, I, it's the whole never give cover payroll. Like it just, we always had what we needed. And so, yeah, it's the whole never give up thing. Like there's so many times in my life and it's not until you can look back and see like, man, God sustained us.

And most of the time, I don't even know how we got from the place in our bank account where I'm like, that's it. Like there's nothing left. And then all of a sudden I'm like, I look back and I'm like, how did we make it through that? I'm like, where did the money come? What happened? And so I guess the childlike faith

thing really helps in moments where you just really don't know what's going to happen next. You just do what Sarah did and you know that you're victorious and you have to stand on that. You just have to speak the word of God, put your, make sure you're in his will, make sure you're doing everything he asks of you. And then you can just sit back and be like, wow, I can't wait to see how God does this. Yeah. Well, I sit there with this building and the enormous amount of money. I mean, the enormous, I mean, if people understood the enormous amount of money that it has taken to even put us back to the place that we are right now, which we're not even close to still being done. I know. even put us back to the place that we are right now, which we're not even close to still being done.

I know. But to get us to the place where we are right now, I sit there and outside of God, it is not possible. Yeah. Somebody, somebody that has been, that doesn't come here, they, they, they do work for us and stuff like that, but they do work for a lot of churches. And he's like, he said to me, he's like, you know, because he does a lot of work for a lot of ARC churches and stuff.

And he's like, I know how they get their money. Like they get, they get, they have a corporation, a lot of these, well, one specific that's very large in the area has a corporation that gives them millions of dollars. And he goes, I sit and I look at these art churches and I sit and look at foundation church and I'm like, it's mind boggling. It's like, he didn't use the word mind, but he's like, he's like this is when you look at how they have the funds that they have theirs is corporate right yeah he's like yours is faith right yeah he's like it is like there is no there's it is a move

of god and to see how you guys put this building back together when you have no corporate foundation. Nobody is supplying money to you guys. It's like, outside of God, this is not possible. You are absolutely right. It is a step

of faith every single day. Every single day. And God never fails. And I encourage you to know the same thing. Like if you've, if you sustained anything from hurricanes or any kind of anything that life has thrown your way, I'm telling you, you pay your tithe. Yeah. Tithing is the key. You know, you go, well, I can't do that. Well, then you'll suffer the consequences of not doing the word. And you'll live in lack and you'll have to scrape by and it will be a miserable life for you. And that's just the facts or you can have what the word says more than enough and never ever ever have to worry about where you think your next provision will be he will be your provider

and you'll never have to worry about that yeah i just don't understand for me i'm like i will never not pay my tithe i'll never not pay my tithe it's not an option. It's not an option. I will have my electric turned off in my house and live on a generator before I don't pay my time. That's the facts. Because, first of all, when God only wants 10 and you get to keep the 90. It's a pretty sweet deal. And he pretty much got you all that you got. I mean, I think that's a fair deal. It's a pretty good deal. And he pretty much got you all that you got. I mean, I think that's a fair deal. Yeah, it's a pretty good deal. And let alone that then on top of that, he says, whatever you give in this

life, I'll give you a hundredfold back. A hundredfold. Not a hundred times. A hundredfold. Yeah. I'll pay my tithe. Yeah. It's a no brainer. Good idea. It's like proposition or amendment number four. It's a no brainer. Yeah. How you vote for that.

Yeah. I love what Psalm 37, 25 says. Once I was young and now I am old. Yeah. I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. That's a promise. That is.

That's a promise. Pay your tithe, people. Pay your tithe. It's such a small percentage that actually pay it. And again, like the church has done, the church pays its tithe, but the church has been able to do things that the world would tell you it's not possible to do in building this building back. It's not. It would seem impossible.

But God will make sure that this church stays open and God will make sure that this place is rebuilt without your tithe. I mean, that's just the facts. But you can't afford not to. That's the facts, too. So I don't need it pay it to give it to somebody else if you think that what i'm trying to tell you is for uh selfish motives it's not selfish motives for me i promise you it's for you i mean i'm not kidding you it is for you it is freedom and it is financial freedom that you have never experienced

until you take him at his word and you test him in it. That's all there is to it. If you could just get people to understand, like, it's going to blow your mind. And I want it for people so that they never have to worry about it. People are worried about getting milk and being able to buy clothes and things like that because of inflation and the way the current administration has done things even if who you want if even if

the administration changes and you get the man of your dreams in there he's still not going to be your provider. Yeah, right. And things aren't going to be, I mean, they may get better for a period of time, but that's a period of time. You need to have, you need to make, you need to know that you know that you know that every need shall be met. Amen. So, and the only person can do that for you is the Lord himself.

But stick to it. 2 Chronicles 15, 7. Stick to it. Don't quit. It says, but as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. And this is scripture. One right after the other.

It says you win. Galatians 6, 9 says, and let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. I know things break. And I know that you feel like you're getting ahead, and then something happens. But these scriptures, rest in them, write them down, so that when things come against you, you're like, not today. This is just a moment in time. This is just a season. This is not my end result. Joshua 1.9 says, I have not commanded. Have I not commanded you? Be strong of good courage.

Do not be afraid nor be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. And that one I would write down because wherever he goes, he wins. And so do you. So don't forget that. Let's do your sponsors real quick. Do you guys want to add anything to that? I had something I forget. About winning?

Oh, you know what? No. What I was going to say is it'll never, like, let's say right now you're waiting on, you know, a pay increase. And you're like, as soon as I get that pay increase, that's when I'm going to start tithing. I promise you that is a lie and it won't happen. So pay it so you get it. Right. Exactly. But, but eventually

like you'll make more money. That's something I've noticed is like, we are definitely making more money than we used to make when I was in my early thirties or even twenties. And your bills just get bigger. You have, you take on more people, you, you help more people, you have older kids. That's true. I'm trying to point to her. That's true. You said it the other day and it's true. Like our, our girls get older and they like, and there's inflation, but also there's, they need stuff. And so they're still trying to figure, they can't go out and get an apartment right now. Like there's no way. And, uh, so I, like if you're, if that's a thought in your head that as soon as I get like this extra job, or as soon as I get that, that's when I'm going to type.

I highly, highly encourage you to start now when you don't have the extra money and you have to make that, you have to make those decisions now. Let God be true. You know, this is an opportunity for that. You make more money, but you increase a lot of times in more bills. Yeah. And it's not always just like, because you need clothes or like it's, or a purse, it's because like you put off other bills for so long that all of a sudden now you have a little more money so now you can pay those bills or pay more on the credit card or there's always something that you're like oh well once we pay off that credit card or once I we all been there we've all had those thoughts and the thing is is just if you do it now it's easier to tithe as you make more money too just just the natural like carnal thing that we have

inside of us if you just set it up now and then when you make the extra, you know, 20 bucks a week, it's just easier to add $2 than it is to like, Oh, now we have to do $38 instead of what I just, just do it now. Like I feel very strongly to tell people that. Well, as your income increase, so does your expenses because what happens is, is the, um, hold on. I'm going gonna sneeze again who's to say you weren't renting right right and so you're now like well i don't want to keep um

burning money so let's buy a house yeah so you buy a house um but and now your mortgage is basically what your rent was kudosudos for that, right? That's great. But now that you bought a house, what if the air condition breaks down? Your expenses increase. So your income increased, but so did your expenses. I always say it's nothing but zeros, right? I mean, so, so somebody makes more zeros than you, but they spend more zeros than you do

too, because their expenses are more. You have to learn that no matter where you're at, if you're looking at somebody who makes more money than you, you think, well, they have all this extra. No, no, no. They don't have all that extra because you don't understand in order to be where they're at, their bills probably increase too, because they probably own their own business, which if they own their own business that means they have more expenditures because to have that business means you pay a lot of everything overhead yeah that's the way it goes so your expenses don't increase or you know you don't have all this extra it's not that's not how it works so what she's saying is accurate. Learn to do it now. Because it's not going to change. It doesn't change.

I know. She knows. Vanessa knows. Sarah knows. We've all been there. We all are there. They're all business owners. The church isn't a business, but I have to pay the bills.

I know this. Ah, I just fell. Listen, when all we did was pay rent yeah it was way easier to a certain extent but guess what when all we did was pay rent our uh our expenses were less but so was the income he who is faithful with the little will be faithful with much so the more you get the more you're faithful and the more you're entrusted which means the more you're faithful. And the more you're entrusted, which means the more you increase on probably your bills. So let us do sponsors.

Laura Keller and Real Estate Appraisal Associates is one of the most trusted appraisal companies in southwest Florida and has done approximately 10,000 appraisals. And are approved by over 300 banks, lenders, and government entities all over the United States. Her company does appraisals for just about everything from residential properties to up to four units. They work with FEMA using the 50% rule, selling estates, probate situations, inherited properties where the heir or heirs are not local and need the appraisal for their attorney, step-up and basis appraisal for capital gain taxes, and they also provide assistance in selling properties. So if you need to sell your property and you don't know a good realtor, you want to call her because she can help you. If you give her a call, tell her that you heard about her from the Hope Hotline and you will receive

a $50 discount. Right now, properties are not selling. It is a buyer's market. So I'm just saying, you might want to get a really good appraisal so that you don't sit there while everybody else's properties are selling and yours is sitting because you think it's worth way more than that it from what it is and if you need to get a certain amount of money out of your property and you put it on the market it'd be good to know that what you're asking you can actually get instead of wasting your time putting it out there and you get nothing right And then you don't have enough to pay off whatever you wanted to pay off when you sell,

and then buy the next property. I mean, an appraisal is vitally, vitally important. It does a lot more than you think, especially in weird markets like this. If it was a seller's market, you'd still want an appraisal. You know why? So you can get a lot of money.

You can get a lot more money than maybe you thought you could. So, I don't know. Be smart. Be smart. Get an appraisal before you do anything. And then make sure it's by somebody good. I would suggest you call her.

i personally can tell you that i've done life with and without and it was you know momentary times of like woohoo you know but i usually is in a drunken state or at an amusement park never like consistent okay so i'm just saying to you, you want a life that is more than what you ever dreamed, dreamt it could be. You want to choose him. You want to choose him now. And let's just say the sinner's prayer. If you, if you're coming back and you feel like you can't, cause I've been there too. Like I'm so unworthy. No, you're not. He's waiting like the prodigal son. He is the father that's waiting for the prodigal son to come up that driveway, run towards you, wrap his arms around you, and welcome you home.

Let that be today for you. Let's say this prayer. Heavenly Father, I come to you right now. I thank you for dying on the cross. I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins. From this moment on, I live for you. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do. Whatever you tell me not to do, I will not do.

And I will spend eternity with you in heaven. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen. If you said that prayer, listen. If you need a good Bible, let us know. We'll get you a good Bible. Tune in if you don't live in the area to Foundation Church on Sunday morning. You will not be disappointed.
