provision will be there when when you go

those things are guaranteed his presence

playing church for so long we think his

presence is the really goooo Gaga

feeling I don’t want no goooo Gaga

feeling I want help in the time of

trouble and that’s where the provision

comes in that see I might still be in

the fire but the provision says your

clothes not going to be burnt neither

you we Sav by his grace so we Embrace

Your Love

today we are

Chang f Faith worketh by love Faith

can’t work when you think that

discomfort is a is is proof that God

hates you if you think your discomfort

is proof that God hates you Faith can’t

work what you’ve been going through are

you convinced that God God hates

you I mean look at

me look at me I’m I’m struggling

I’m divorced I got these

children and and the devil wants to use

all that you’re in

discomfort and I’m teaching this series

because you got to respond differently

to

discomfort cuz what you’re saying is I’m

in discomfort and I’m trying to find

comfort and God wants to mature you in

the midst of that

discomfort but if you struggle to try to

find Comfort by any means necessary you

might find yourself in another addic Ive

bondage because you just want Comfort oh

I’m in discomfort so I go get drunk try

to get comfort then you become an

alcoholic oh I’m I’m I’m I feel like I’m

in discomfort you know I’ve been fooling

around sexually all my life and I feel

like I’m in discomfort and then you go

and you you now you go spend a little

money for it now and and and now he he

wakes up he wakes up that that that that

worst

habit and I believe what we have to do

as Christians is we’ve got to change the

question from why

me to what is it you want me to get out

of

this how should I mature out of this

because God is serious about your

maturity I don’t know what it is that he

is so serious about us maturing but you

got to

mature and if you’re still holding

unforgiveness that’s a sign of

immaturity if you’re still you know

um in Strife if you’re still holding on

to unforgiveness and then it comes out

with bitterness all that’s baby

stuff so discomfort will be permitted to

help you grow and

mature I know when I went through the

crazy physical attack on my body I am

more

empathetic towards people who are in

pain I am more empathetic towards people

people who go to the doctor and they say

you have cancer I am more empathetic to

people who have the

trauma of wondering am I going to be

here this time next

year it’s so easy for us to be

judgmental of people until they come to

your

house

yeah yeah something happens

differently until it shows up in your

house right all of a sudden the your

your your former political views begin

to melt a little bit because you didn’t

really know what this was about until it

showed up yes sir in your house in your

family in your marriage

sir

faith is my positive response to what to

what Grace has made

available that’s what it is Faith is me

responding

positively to what Grace has already

made

available Grace has made righteousness

available so my faith responds I’m

righteous Grace has made healing

available and even when your body’s

under attack I respond I’m

Healed Grace whatever it has done and it

has done everything that contains the

life and

godliness my faith is my

response to what Grace is made

available how are you responding to

Jesus are you responding to Jesus in

complete

dependence or are you responding to

Jesus with yeah I know you did that but

now I can help by doing these two

things faith is your

response to what Grace has made

available let me give you an

illustration um look at 2 Corinthians

chapter

4:13 2 Corinthians chapter

4:13 this is how I respond in the in in

in midst of discomfort and pain now look

at this he says we having the same

Spirit of Faith according as it is

written he said I believe everybody say

I believe I believe and therefore have I

spoken we also believe and therefore we

speak see I’m not speaking the word to

try to be magical I’m speaking the word

because I’m responding to what I

believe I believe in what Grace is made

available so I’m going to say out loud

I’m

Healed I believe what Grace is made

available so I’m going to say out loud

I’m the righteousness of God I’m not

saying that trying to be magical I’m

saying it cuz I believe it praise God I

believe that I’m blessed I believe that

I’m protected I believe in the promises

that he made and I believe that he loved

me so I’m going to respond in faith and

my response is going to believe going to

be if I believe it I’m going to say it

so when you hear me saying stuff that

may be scriptural when you hear me

saying stuff I’m not saying it to try to

be deep I’m saying it because I believe

it that’s my response

y’all see what I’m doing cuz I you know

there have been times in my past I’ve

said stuff I ain’t believe it and and I

and I found that that’s not too bad cuz

it’s something about if you keep saying

a thing you’ll talk yourself into

it you’ll talk yourself into

it cuz man when shingles was knocking me

down cuz that nerve pain went from my my

spine to my brain I said I’m Healed I’m

like Lord help me

believe you remember that guy who said

Lord I believe but help my unbelief I

was believing until it knocked me down

help my unbelief I was believing I

didn’t knock me down help my unbelief

but after a while I was like saying I

ain’t ain’t got time for no more

unbelief I just I

believe are you listening to me

now now I want to show you something

now he Romans 4 18- 21 in the uh in the

King James and then I want to I want to

talk to you about

U um how Grace will manifest itself I

got one more thing to say about faith

but I want to show you how Grace will

manifest itself through suffering

through tribulations through trial you

can expect it in fact some people say

well the glory of God didn’t show up

until the the the the the atmosphere was

charged for the glory honey I’m telling

you graceful show up and go to work for

you in the

craziest situations in your life there

will be some Grace there notice the

notice the Fourth Man didn’t show up

while they were chilling on the

beach he showed up when it got put in

the fiery

furnace God has promised us that Grace

he three things his presence will be

there his power will be there and his

provision will be there

when when you go through any kind of

suffering those those things are

guaranteed his presence is going to be

there now see we’ve been playing church

for so long we think his presence is the

really goooo Gaga feeling I don’t want

no gooo Gaga feeling I want help in the

time of

trouble and that’s where the provision

comes in at see I might still be in the

fire but the provision says your clothes

not going to be burnt neither will I

allow them to have the smell of smoke

that only can come from God’s provision

he didn’t take away way to fire but he

was providing for you while you was

walking through the fire Hallelujah

glory to God and some of y’all are

walking through the fire right now and

you’re wondering God why don’t you take

this from me he says no I’m going to

work something in the midst of this we

going to keep the fire but you going to

learn that there’s a Fourth Man that’ll

show up every time you get in your

fire and when you come out you going to

be looking for that Fourth Man

I know this goes against all of the

little cutie Cutie little religion stuff

you done heard in your in the church all

the little cutie Cutie little little

Fable things you’ve heard that ain’t

even true cuz people don’t even read the

Bible no

more they up there declaring stuff

Nationwide that ain’t even in the Bible

that’s

right they misinterpreted the scripture

ain’t even in the Bible

I remember I told this guy one time he

was in the midst of preaching as a bunch

of ministers I was like that ain’t in

the

Bible I said you know he said who can

something about who can who can who you

know being able to to walk without

without any challenging sin I said

nobody and he called himself yeah that’s

right nobody nobody

where the

Lord will not

dwell in filthy

vessels ain’t no other

kind I know that offend you cuz

somewhere in your head you think you are

a clean vessel but if you was clean the

Holy Ghost wouldn’t have to be dwelling

in you cuz you already clean and I keep

trying to tell you to quit buying that

story you tell yourself I’m the clean

vessel now you ain’t you as dirty as

everybody else in here and that’s why we

need a permanent AAC to live in us and

to walk in us and to abide in us and to

constantly cleanse

us but you done bought that religious

Fable you you think you’re good you

you I just like have had it with people

who can’t

bre okay where am

I okay so I’m I’m going to say this real

quick oh my

goodness

ah all

right I’m trying to stay up here but I

just you know I’m on the edge right here

like good God

[Applause]

hey that’s right I want I need y’all to

say this to me say sweet lips sweet lips

increase learning increase learning what

kind of lips sweet

lips now say this pastor dollar you

heard

that yes I did right yes I did sweet

lips increase

learning so and and I’m I’m trying not

to have a breakdown moment on this

because this is how awesome he

is so in the old Covenant of the law the

old agreement of the

law we had to do the

work in order to reap the benefit

if you do

good you get

good right if you are

obedient if you are obedient to the law

then you get

blessed you know that’s even different

in the in the New Covenant there’s an

obedience to the law then there’s an

obedience to the

faith in the new Co old Covenant

obedience to the law is what you carry

out in your commitment to do what the

law tells you to do but in the New

Covenant obedience to Faith is your

believing in what Jesus has

done

now so God’s allowing us to do the work

we had to do the we didn’t have to do it

but Exodus 198 when Moses presented the

law to the children of

Israel Exodus 19-8 here’s how they

responded we can do all you you all you

said the creator of everything including

man had never seen

such prideful

arrogance everything God ever

created depends on him

completely for everything they do

the birds the

vegetation everything the Earth

everything he created depends on

him including man until Adam declared

independence from

God we don’t need him you can be just

like

him that’s where it started it started

in the in the Garden of Eden when they

said I am like God so I don’t need God

and they declared

independence from

God so you see the situation is the

situation of man now having more

confidence in himself than he does in

God so I can keep this no problem and so

here is why he gave the law the law is

perfect the law is Flawless the law

represents God’s perfect character and

he gives the law

to a fallen

man and they said we got

it and if you read Exodus 19 on to

chapter 20 and 21 all hell broke loose

don’t touch the mountain don’t even

touch the bottom of it or you will

die you think you can keep these laws as

perfect as they are you know the number

of people that died just because they

murmured you know how many do you know

the millions that died under the law see

not they’re not teaching that to you and

look at the Bible all the stuff that

Happ all them people died you know you

know some people died because they

wouldn’t give glory to God and wouldn’t

give Thanksgiving to

him and they said they could do it that

man was trying to operate independent of

God and you know that’s what’s happening

in some of the church circles

today we got this M I have faith in my

faith we got

this and we still trying to do it based

on how we can work

it and you felt miserably in the Old

Testament to such a point Hebrews 8 says

that he says I found fault with that

first

Covenant that’s why I’m going give you a

better Covenant

because that first Covenant too many

people died cuz they could not do it

independent of

me but in this

Covenant I’m going to do the

work it’s going to be my work and he

says and all of mankind will be my

workmanship so God said in this Covenant

I’m going to go to work on

you I’m going to write the law on your

heart I’m going to make you I’m going to

forgive you I’m going to do the work I’m

going to save you stuff we get under

this New Covenant we didn’t have under

the old Covenant so here’s the thing

that blew my mind I don’t know where my

head maybe in my religious traditional

head I never quite saw God like

accepting full

responsibility for the work of on

me I thought I get saved and now come to

church and get all the

rules I get saved and I come to church

and I employ the law to keep what Grace

gave

me you didn’t hear what I just said you

were saved by grace but you you employed

the law to try to keep what you got by

grace in other words you you you you you

employed the law to

sustain life that you got by

Grace but the law has no sustaining

power the law can’t sustain life the law

can’t even give life if the law could

give life there would be no need for a

savior yeah y y hear what I’m saying I I

believe I was teaching this past week uh

in in in uh I think it was John chapter

six where Jesus said I am the bread of

life

yes he said my father gave you mana and

you did eat now Mana is bread that

sustains

life but then he made this comment Moses

did not give you

Mana right what is he saying Moses gave

you the law Moses was a lawgiver Moses

didn’t give you Mana if Moses could have

given you Mana something to sustain life

then maybe there’s life under the law

but Moses did not give you life Moses

gave you the law only the only God

through Grace can give you life so why

are you trying to live by something that

can’t give you life that can’t sustain

life it was Grace that gave you

salvation it’ll be Grace that’ll sustain

your salvation

Grace sustains your

salvation not the

laww and what do we do we get saved and

come to church and say preacher give me

the

rules give me some rules can we

drink come on what God say about that

what about a little weed just to calm

down not much

but a little

weed how many women can we have at a

time David has some Mistresses can we

still have some

Mistresses and a woman a woman by the

way that woman ought to be just

satisfied that she got a good old

God-fearing

man everything else you need to shut

your mouth

about and be dominated by your God

God-fearing man because if he’s

God-fearing domination won’t hurt I

heard a preacher say that I actually

heard somebody say

that what are you trying to do you’re

trying to

sustain life that only comes from Jesus

Grace by employing the

law as the administrator of something

you didn’t get from the law

did you know that Jesus endured

suffering for us so that he could be

with us in our struggles grasping this

truth is essential to not only receiving

God’s blessings but holding on to them

in maintaining your victory in the midst

of discomfort Klo dollar reveals the

defining traits of successful Christians

we didn’t have he suffered so we can now
