(306) “The Capacity Code” with Pastor Tony Kemp

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.379
Your life is not stuck because the Lord has said

00:00:02.379 --> 00:00:05.799
no to your prayer. Or your life is stuck because

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.619
you cannot yet carry what you're asking for right

00:00:09.619 --> 00:00:13.019
now. Wow. So there are opportunities, there are

00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:15.720
resources, there are blessings hovering over

00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.500
you, but they're not waiting for your prayers

00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.640
to get louder. They're waiting for your capacity

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:33.619
to get stronger. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to

00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:36.859
pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome

00:00:36.859 --> 00:00:38.979
to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that

00:00:38.979 --> 00:00:41.820
promise outpouring, we equip for that outpouring,

00:00:41.899 --> 00:00:45.240
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:47.799
I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome

00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.520
to the podcast today. This one is a bombshell.

00:00:51.619 --> 00:00:56.170
We have with us our dear, beloved... papa we

00:00:56.170 --> 00:00:58.609
think of him as a papa he's an apostle to us

00:00:58.609 --> 00:01:01.549
he's a bishop to us he's a pastor to us his name

00:01:01.549 --> 00:01:05.170
is tony camp and he's been doing things with

00:01:05.170 --> 00:01:07.730
us for several years now being a speaker at our

00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:10.530
conventions and various other things that we've

00:01:10.530 --> 00:01:14.530
done with him and he has been waiting on the

00:01:14.530 --> 00:01:17.510
lord the last few months well he's just taken

00:01:17.510 --> 00:01:20.150
some time off and god has been giving him downloads

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.719
of new messages that he's going to be bringing

00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.620
as he travels he's starting to travel soon and

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:28.939
so he's going to be a speaker at our convention

00:01:28.939 --> 00:01:33.500
and he's giving us a teaser of what i'm thinking

00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:35.140
he's probably going to preach something else

00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:38.799
but this is going to help us prepare for what

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.519
god has for us in these days that we're living

00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.230
in because he's explaining to us how the things

00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:49.790
that we're waiting for are being held back for

00:01:49.790 --> 00:01:53.230
our good because we're not quite ready to bear

00:01:53.230 --> 00:01:57.590
the weight or to hold the capacity. So God has

00:01:57.590 --> 00:02:02.010
given him an outline for how to increase your

00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:09.120
capacity. It's called the Capacity Code. We're

00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.379
so glad that you're with us today. Thank you

00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:14.240
so much for tuning into this podcast. And we're

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.060
excited about doing these video podcasts. This

00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.659
is a whole new thing for us. And each time we're

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:23.900
trying to increase a little bit and improve a

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:26.580
little bit. So thank you so much for being patient

00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:28.800

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.080

lives that you do. It's wonderful to be able

00:03:59.069 --> 00:04:01.949

00:04:01.949 --> 00:04:04.550

be there with us. Pastor Tony Kemp, we are so

00:04:20.069 --> 00:04:23.790
happy to have you with us. Thank you so much

00:04:23.790 --> 00:04:25.790
for joining us on the Global Outpouring Podcast.

00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:28.649
The pleasure is all mine. It's good to be with

00:04:28.649 --> 00:04:30.410
you and it's good to see you and Philip again.

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.300
Oh, yes. Good to see you. Yes, we are delighted

00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:37.939
to have you with us. We've been trying for a

00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:41.279
long time to get you on this podcast, and you've

00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.240
been so busy because you travel all the time.

00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.839
You're a pastor's pastor, and you've got a circuit

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.600
that doesn't quit. But thankfully, with the weather

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.779
that has come recently, you had some free time

00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:54.759
on your hands so you could join us. So we're

00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.180
really happy. A forced free time. Amen. Amen.

00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.459
Well, I'm glad to be with you. So we're looking

00:05:01.459 --> 00:05:04.800
forward to having you again with us at the convention,

00:05:05.019 --> 00:05:08.300
Convention 2026. And you've been with us for

00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:11.199
a number of conventions now. I haven't figured

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.480
out exactly how many, but quite a few. And you

00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.819
always bring the house down when you come. It's

00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:18.459
just wonderful. So first of all, what can you

00:05:18.459 --> 00:05:22.079
tell our listeners or our viewers about this

00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.779
convention? Why should they come? I think it's

00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:27.079
going to be very, very exciting. I think it's

00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.240
going to be very informative, very revelatory.

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.560
I think it could be literally life -changing.

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.860
I believe that there will be impartation. I think

00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:42.120
that there will be an acceleration. of truth

00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.459
and heavenly realities. And I think it will be

00:05:45.459 --> 00:05:48.620
extremely helpful, not only for those who attend

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:52.699
that are looking for more of the Father and Jesus

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:55.459
and the Holy Spirit, but I think that there will

00:05:55.459 --> 00:05:58.620
be some keys to increase greater productivity

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:01.399
and effectiveness in the work that they're called

00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.959
to do. So I think it's going to be amazing. I

00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.060
think it's going to be beautiful. I think it's

00:06:07.060 --> 00:06:10.500
going to be... powerful. So as always, first,

00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:12.819
I'm thankful that you keep inviting me and I'm

00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:15.319
looking forward to seeing what the Holy Spirit

00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.379
is going to do in that meeting, in those meetings.

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.079
Amen. Amen. And, you know, a lot of those things

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.379
that you just said can be gotten by the live

00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:27.120
stream that we'll be doing on Facebook and YouTube,

00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:32.160
but impartation doesn't necessarily come all

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.459
across the cyberspace very well. No, I think

00:06:38.459 --> 00:06:40.800
if it's at all possible, a person could be there.

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:43.939
I think that that's definitely the best way because

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:48.899
of the atmosphere. And, you know, you can catch

00:06:48.899 --> 00:06:51.040
some things because you're in the atmosphere

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.620
of heaven. And, you know, that's just, you know,

00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.819
extraordinary. And I think that it will cause

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:04.269
people to have an advancement. I think that there'll

00:07:04.269 --> 00:07:07.490
be breakthroughs. I think that people can catch

00:07:07.490 --> 00:07:09.689
something in the atmosphere when you're just

00:07:09.689 --> 00:07:12.449
there. You know, there's nothing like being there.

00:07:12.569 --> 00:07:15.889
That's always preferable if it's possible. Amen.

00:07:16.149 --> 00:07:19.810
Amen. So just for information's sake, we'll be

00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:23.980
at. the Hilton Hotel by the airport in St. Louis,

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.160
St. Louis, Missouri, May 21st through 24th, 2026.

00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:31.839
And Pastor Tony is one of our keynote speakers,

00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.079
and Dean Braxton will be with us, and I'll be

00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.819
speaking. Also, we have Anna Werner. What can

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:39.620
you tell us about Anna? Because you're the one

00:07:39.620 --> 00:07:41.480
who recommended that we have her, and we're going

00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.740
to have her on a podcast soon as well. Anna Werner

00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:48.160
is a... young woman saved for a very, very long

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.920
time, speaks fluent Portuguese because she did

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.259
missionary work in Brazil. Her husband speaks

00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:58.000
one of the Indian languages. I'm not sure which

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.639
one. And so they were also in India. And she

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.160
more recently, I know, has been in Iceland. And

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.819
of course, she's been in Europe, travels extensively

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:12.339
throughout the United States. She is a first

00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:17.519
class seer. And I mean, she sees really, really

00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.439
well. She has a profound healing ministry, very

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.220
strong discerning of spirits, word of knowledge,

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:27.879
prophecy. If I can say this, she's not at all

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.279
political. Her focus is on the church and what

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.840
the Lord Jesus wants to say and do in the church.

00:08:35.179 --> 00:08:40.960
And so she's very, very gifted. A little bit

00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.779
like Johnny Cash. He's been everywhere, man.

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:46.179
You know, I mean, everybody knows her. Everybody

00:08:46.179 --> 00:08:49.759
knows her from Marilyn Hickey to Sid Roth to,

00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.980
I mean, you know, she moves in. Yeah, it's pretty

00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:56.519
amazing. So we've done lots of meetings together.

00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:59.500
She's just amazing. Patricia King, everybody,

00:08:59.779 --> 00:09:01.500
like I said, everybody pretty much knows her.

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.960
Wonderful. I'm glad she's joining us. Yes. She

00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.519
does mentoring. I think she's going to draw some

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.559
young people or those that are younger than us.

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:17.759
Whatever that means. So we also have Claren McQueen,

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.379
who's going to be speaking. And he's going to

00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:25.379
be our Israel Night speaker. And he has such

00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:29.899
a depth of. anointing about Israel and lived

00:09:29.899 --> 00:09:32.899
there for a number of years. And he's also one

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:35.220
of our top worship leaders. We're also having

00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:39.600
Molly Williams as a worship leader. She was one

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.559
of our youth. Yeah, she was one of our youth

00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.799
many years ago. And three o 'clock session. So

00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.389
we're really excited. to have this wonderful

00:09:48.389 --> 00:09:53.070
mix of worshipers and people coming in from the

00:09:53.070 --> 00:09:56.029
nations. We're expecting lots of nations to be

00:09:56.029 --> 00:09:59.009
showing up. I love the fact that Anna has this

00:09:59.009 --> 00:10:02.570
heart for the nations as well. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

00:10:03.009 --> 00:10:06.409
Wonderful. We'll be having her on this podcast

00:10:06.409 --> 00:10:11.649
soon. We're working on the timing. So what is

00:10:11.649 --> 00:10:14.970
the Lord speaking to you about? these days that

00:10:14.970 --> 00:10:17.230
you're going to be bringing? Can you give us

00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:20.970
like a little teaser? Well, here's what I can

00:10:20.970 --> 00:10:27.769
do. There's so many messages, but I think I'll

00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:30.129
do some teaching. Can I do some teaching now?

00:10:30.769 --> 00:10:32.470
Yes, please. To give people kind of a preview?

00:10:32.669 --> 00:10:35.950
Okay. Yes. And so I want to teach on something

00:10:35.950 --> 00:10:40.590
that I think is unique that I really feel like

00:10:40.590 --> 00:10:43.720
the Lord brought me into. I kind of quit traveling

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.259
around the first week of November. And so I was

00:10:48.259 --> 00:10:52.240
basically home or speaking in my area, month

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.840
of November, December, you know, even in the

00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.840
first part of January. And so I have several

00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.399
new messages that the Lord has brought me into

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.940
that I think are unique and I think can assist

00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:08.299
people. So I want to spend some time teaching

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:11.879
one of those. And I think it's interesting. I've

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.679
given it a title because, you know, that's what

00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.080
we preachers do. But the title of it is the Capacity

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.480
Code. And so, yeah, it's the Capacity Code. And

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.940
so I'll go ahead and start, okay? Please, please.

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:28.919
If you decide to teach something else when you

00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.840
get with us, that's fine. We can have multiple

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.100
messages here. Oh, I've got, yeah, I've got many,

00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:38.690
many. Many, many new messages. And this will

00:11:38.690 --> 00:11:43.870
give people a little taste. They will have an

00:11:43.870 --> 00:11:46.750
advantage just by hearing this on this podcast.

00:11:47.429 --> 00:11:52.929
And who knows what will happen in May. I mean,

00:11:52.950 --> 00:11:56.990
I have so many messages that are new. And I'm

00:11:56.990 --> 00:11:59.370
sure the Lord will bring me into something new

00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:01.970
before I get there. So it will depend upon what's

00:12:01.970 --> 00:12:06.039
hot. Amen. I'm going to go ahead and get started,

00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:10.179
and I've had to write this down because of the

00:12:10.179 --> 00:12:13.340
nature of the message. And so I'm going to start.

00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:16.679
Are you ready? Go for it. I'm ready. Okay. So

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.139
this is called the Capacity Code, and this is

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:23.000
how it begins. Your life is not stuck because

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.639
the Lord has said no to your prayer. Your life

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.279
is stuck because you cannot yet carry what you're

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.769
asking for right now. So there are opportunities,

00:12:34.250 --> 00:12:36.750
there are resources, there are blessings hovering

00:12:36.750 --> 00:12:40.009
over you, but they're not waiting for your prayers

00:12:40.009 --> 00:12:43.169
to get louder. They're waiting for your capacity

00:12:43.169 --> 00:12:47.830
to get stronger. So the Father is not testing

00:12:47.830 --> 00:12:50.970
people's desire. What the Father is looking at

00:12:50.970 --> 00:12:56.190
is your personal church, ministry, business infrastructure.

00:12:56.809 --> 00:12:59.809
For example, for those that are in business,

00:13:00.429 --> 00:13:03.769
You're not really waiting for wealth. The wealth

00:13:03.769 --> 00:13:06.309
that the Father wants to give you is waiting

00:13:06.309 --> 00:13:10.649
for a version of you that will not collapse under

00:13:10.649 --> 00:13:14.269
the weight of what the Father has prepared for

00:13:14.269 --> 00:13:19.070
you. Okay? So this is what is going on mostly.

00:13:19.649 --> 00:13:23.389
Many people are spending years praying and asking

00:13:23.389 --> 00:13:25.590
the Father for more money, better relationships,

00:13:26.029 --> 00:13:30.299
greater opportunities. while completely ignoring

00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:34.120
the question that the Father's asking. Let me

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.059
give you some of those questions. One, can you

00:13:37.059 --> 00:13:40.000
handle what you're asking for? Can you handle

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.960
it emotionally? Can you handle it spiritually?

00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:47.779
And very importantly, can you handle it structurally?

00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.139
Can your current systems, boundaries, and internal

00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:55.559
architecture sustain the blessings that you're

00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:59.710
requesting? It is time to examine the capacity

00:13:59.710 --> 00:14:02.470
code, and this is very, very important, that

00:14:02.470 --> 00:14:06.570
governs every aspect of the provision, the presence,

00:14:06.649 --> 00:14:09.350
and the power of God. During this message, you're

00:14:09.350 --> 00:14:11.769
going to have some understanding of exactly why

00:14:11.769 --> 00:14:17.429
the answer to your prayer has been delayed. And

00:14:17.429 --> 00:14:19.529
importantly, you're going to have a blueprint

00:14:19.529 --> 00:14:23.509
to build the internal structure that makes increase

00:14:23.509 --> 00:14:27.759
inevitable. So the modern world has sold you

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.539
a deception and a lie. It tells you to dream

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:32.899
bigger, ask for more, manifest more abundance,

00:14:33.059 --> 00:14:36.200
visualize success. But the word of wisdom from

00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.879
the throne operates completely differently. And

00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.799
here's the reality. What you cannot manage, the

00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.519
Father cannot multiply. What you cannot sustain,

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.440
the Lord Jesus will not provide. And this is

00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:57.919
not punishment. This is protection. Increase

00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.899
without infrastructure is not a blessing because

00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:05.019
if it's given to you too early and you're not

00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:09.700
ready for it, you will sabotage yourself. So

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:13.039
let me ask you to think about this. Think about

00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:14.980
the last time you asked the father for something

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:18.919
significant. More income, a better relationship,

00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:22.289
a new opportunity. But I want you to consider

00:15:22.289 --> 00:15:25.970
what you're actually praying for. For some people,

00:15:26.029 --> 00:15:28.909
this is true. And I want to lay this before people.

00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:31.610
And I think it's going to be very challenging.

00:15:31.990 --> 00:15:35.070
But anytime you hear this message or any message,

00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:38.429
you know, you receive the word of God for yourself.

00:15:38.549 --> 00:15:42.070
But also, a number of you are ministers. So you

00:15:42.070 --> 00:15:45.029
could take this message and you can apply it

00:15:45.029 --> 00:15:47.789
to whoever the Holy Spirit gives it to. For example,

00:15:47.789 --> 00:15:50.440
there are people. They want increase in results

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.539
without a willingness to have an increase in

00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:57.740
responsibility. Others want a blessing without

00:15:57.740 --> 00:16:01.659
the added burden that the blessing is going to

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:05.779
bring. Some want added gifting without the growth

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:10.279
required to steward it properly. And so when

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.080
your prayer is not answered, you question the

00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.919
goodness of God instead of examining your own

00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:20.730
capacity. Okay? Wow. So here's what Jesus sees

00:16:20.730 --> 00:16:24.309
when you pray for increase. Jesus looks at your

00:16:24.309 --> 00:16:27.330
current financial discipline. Jesus sees how

00:16:27.330 --> 00:16:30.629
you handle pressure. Jesus looks at your emotional

00:16:30.629 --> 00:16:34.509
regulation under stress. Jesus looks at your

00:16:34.509 --> 00:16:37.830
boundary management. Jesus looks at your time

00:16:37.830 --> 00:16:40.850
stewardship. And Jesus looks at your relationship

00:16:40.850 --> 00:16:44.190
patterns. And this part is very, very important.

00:16:44.409 --> 00:16:49.090
Based upon what the Lord Jesus observes, he calculates

00:16:49.090 --> 00:16:55.309
exactly how much you can carry without breaking.

00:16:55.809 --> 00:17:01.929
And this is really, really important. So the

00:17:01.929 --> 00:17:05.549
calculation determines your current ceiling.

00:17:06.109 --> 00:17:09.210
how high you can go, how far you can go. And

00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:12.849
this ceiling, by the way, is not arbitrary. It

00:17:12.849 --> 00:17:16.390
is architectural. It is built from your habits,

00:17:16.549 --> 00:17:20.230
from your systems, or your spiritual or emotional

00:17:20.230 --> 00:17:23.210
capacity. And your emotional capacity is just

00:17:23.210 --> 00:17:26.569
as important as your spiritual capacity. It's

00:17:26.569 --> 00:17:29.069
also built from your maturity and your ability

00:17:29.069 --> 00:17:32.539
to handle responsibility without. collapsing.

00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:36.579
This also includes your mental energy, your emotional

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:40.220
energy, your physical energy. And so all of these

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:43.079
things are factored in and considered by the

00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.440
Father in Jesus. So once a person understands

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:49.900
this, things begin to change. You start praying

00:17:49.900 --> 00:17:52.000
for the Father to give you more, and you start

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.640
building more capacity. You stop waiting for

00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.700
the blessing of Jesus, and you start creating

00:17:57.700 --> 00:18:02.660
the vessel that the blessing can fill. And so

00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:05.059
when you comprehend the principle of the code

00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:08.779
of capacity, you understand the laws that govern

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:12.539
divine provision. And so these are not suggestions.

00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.359
They're not just good concepts. These are operational

00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:20.480
principles that determine whether or not the

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.859
Father releases resources into your life. or

00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:27.980
withholds them for your protection. So the first

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:31.579
law I want to talk about here is the law of vessels,

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:35.140
okay? So in other words, blessing takes the shape

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:39.059
of the container. So in the second book of Kings,

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:42.519
we encounter Elijah and the widow who comes to

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.519
him in desperation. And here is the situation.

00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.039
The man, the woman's husband who passed, was

00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.589
a son of the prophet. When he passed, he left

00:18:51.589 --> 00:18:55.150
his wife in debt. She had two sons, and the creditor

00:18:55.150 --> 00:18:57.589
came and said, unless you can pay me, I'm going

00:18:57.589 --> 00:18:59.950
to take your two sons. And, of course, she's

00:18:59.950 --> 00:19:02.970
a widow. She has no way of generating an income.

00:19:03.390 --> 00:19:06.970
And so she was absolutely at the bottom of her

00:19:06.970 --> 00:19:10.230
capacity in order to be able to survive. So she

00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:13.890
goes to Elijah, the head prophet, and presents

00:19:13.890 --> 00:19:17.230
her situation. And he asked her the strangest

00:19:17.230 --> 00:19:21.019
question. what do you have in your house? And

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:24.160
of course, she eventually replies. I think at

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.259
first she thought, I don't have anything. And

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:28.400
then she thought about it. And she said, you

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.380
know, I've got a pot of oil. Okay. And it's a

00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:35.440
small jar of oil. And this is very, very important.

00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.859
Although your beginning is small. yet in the

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:42.859
latter day you shall greatly increase. And the

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:45.619
scripture says, do not despise the day of small

00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:48.700
beginnings. So then what the prophet does is

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:50.779
he gives her an instruction that seemed very

00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:54.880
unusual. Go borrow vessels from your neighbors,

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:59.500
empty vessels, as many as you can gather, and

00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:02.240
then take that little bit of oil you have and

00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.940
begin to pour into the vessels. And even though

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:09.160
the instruction made no logical sense, the woman

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.380
obeyed. She gathered vessels from every neighbor.

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.519
She filled her home with empty containers. And

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:20.380
she took what she had, and she began to pour.

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:22.940
Now, here's what's interesting, because remember,

00:20:23.099 --> 00:20:25.480
we're talking about the law of vessels. We're

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:29.200
talking about the capacity code. The oil flowed

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:35.269
until every vessel was full, not one drop. In

00:20:35.269 --> 00:20:40.690
other words, the blessing matched exactly the

00:20:40.690 --> 00:20:45.410
capacity she prepared. Wow. Her provision was

00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:49.609
not limited by the Father's resources, but by

00:20:49.609 --> 00:20:53.750
her own preparation for receiving. She could

00:20:53.750 --> 00:20:55.809
have gathered 50 vessels. She could have gathered

00:20:55.809 --> 00:20:59.230
150 vessels. We don't know. But here's the code.

00:20:59.789 --> 00:21:02.750
The code reveals the oil would have filled whatever

00:21:02.750 --> 00:21:07.789
capacity she created. And this is how divine

00:21:07.789 --> 00:21:11.990
provision operates in your life right now. The

00:21:11.990 --> 00:21:14.490
father gives you the blessing. The father gives

00:21:14.490 --> 00:21:17.349
you the opportunity to receive the blessing only

00:21:17.349 --> 00:21:22.849
equal to the capacity that you have built. Wow.

00:21:22.950 --> 00:21:27.150
So that means that my income is not limited by

00:21:27.150 --> 00:21:31.269
the economy. It is limited by the wisdom of God

00:21:31.269 --> 00:21:34.990
in my financial vessel. My relationships are

00:21:34.990 --> 00:21:38.130
not limited by available people. My relationships

00:21:38.130 --> 00:21:42.490
are limited by my emotional vessel. My opportunities

00:21:42.490 --> 00:21:46.210
are not limited by the market. They are limited

00:21:46.210 --> 00:21:50.490
by my professional vessel. So most people who

00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:55.230
pray for increase, however, live in a vessel.

00:21:55.799 --> 00:22:00.599
that has been designed for scarcity, okay? So

00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.220
it is your belief system about scarcity that

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:07.140
may get in the way of the wisdom and the wealth

00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:10.740
of heaven that Jesus has purchased. Ephesians

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:14.099
1 and 11 says, in Christ you have obtained an

00:22:14.099 --> 00:22:17.599
inheritance, so it's there for you, okay? So

00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.619
this is one of the things I think that's happening

00:22:19.619 --> 00:22:21.859
right now, and I think it's very unconscious.

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.339
That happens to us. People want abundance to

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:27.460
flow into systems that are built for survival.

00:22:27.819 --> 00:22:31.680
They want wealth to pour into financial habits

00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.819
that are designed for poverty. They want healthy

00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:37.480
relationships to flourish in emotional patterns

00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.740
designed for dysfunction. And then they wonder

00:22:41.740 --> 00:22:45.220
why their prayers are unanswered. This is what

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:48.359
I want to bear on. The father is ready to pour,

00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:53.089
but the vessel is not yet ready. for what it's

00:22:53.089 --> 00:22:57.609
asking for. However, we can get ready. So I want

00:22:57.609 --> 00:23:00.250
to begin with the sort of the diagnosis of the

00:23:00.250 --> 00:23:04.150
challenge. So that's law number one, and that

00:23:04.150 --> 00:23:07.150
is the law of vessels. Law number two is the

00:23:07.150 --> 00:23:11.329
law of weight. And here's the code, okay? Whenever

00:23:11.329 --> 00:23:14.250
the father gives a gift, he gives a responsibility

00:23:14.250 --> 00:23:20.329
along with the gift, okay? So that every blessing

00:23:20.329 --> 00:23:24.579
Jesus... has purchased carries weight. Every

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:30.960
increase comes with additional pressure. Every

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:36.539
promotion brings new demands. So this is why

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:39.559
it's important. If the responsibility crushes

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.579
you, the gift is not a blessing. It's a burden

00:23:42.579 --> 00:23:46.000
you're not yet ready to carry, okay? Consider

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.039
the businessman who prays for a million -dollar

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.769
contract. and then cannot sleep once he gets

00:23:51.769 --> 00:23:56.529
it because he has never prepared his mind or

00:23:56.529 --> 00:24:00.970
his systems to manage that level of financial

00:24:00.970 --> 00:24:04.369
increase and responsibility. Consider the woman

00:24:04.369 --> 00:24:06.690
who wants to be married and then feels trapped

00:24:06.690 --> 00:24:08.869
when she must consider another person in her

00:24:08.869 --> 00:24:12.190
every decision. Consider the employee who wants

00:24:12.190 --> 00:24:15.690
a promotion and then crumbles under the pressure

00:24:15.690 --> 00:24:19.819
of now having to lead others. So these are not

00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:24.240
success stories. What they are are capacity failures.

00:24:24.859 --> 00:24:28.980
So what happens is this. The father evaluates

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:32.759
your readiness for increase, not your desire

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:38.019
for it, but your current performance under smaller

00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:41.339
weights. So how do you handle the pressure you

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:44.140
already have? How do you manage the responsibilities

00:24:44.140 --> 00:24:46.900
that are currently on your plate? How do you

00:24:46.900 --> 00:24:49.799
respond to the circumstances that require you

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.660
to stretch beyond your comfort zone? Your answers

00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:57.480
to these questions determine what the Father

00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:03.259
can safely place in your hands. So, this truth

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:06.599
will transform your approach to increase. Instead

00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:11.779
of you asking the Father for gifts, realize that

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:15.680
you're asking Him to increase your capacity,

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:19.619
so that you can be trusted with greater responsibility.

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:24.740
And trust is earned through demonstrated competence,

00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:31.339
okay, under current circumstances. Now, let me

00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:33.900
say this because it's important for those that

00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:36.599
are in business. The person who cannot manage

00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:40.500
1 ,000 cannot be trusted with a $100 ,000 opportunity.

00:25:41.789 --> 00:25:43.930
The person who collapses under a current relationship

00:25:43.930 --> 00:25:47.230
demand may not be ready for marriage. The person

00:25:47.230 --> 00:25:49.670
who avoids responsibility in small areas cannot

00:25:49.670 --> 00:25:53.809
be promoted into larger areas of influence. This

00:25:53.809 --> 00:25:58.190
is why in the capacity code, the law of weight

00:25:58.190 --> 00:26:04.569
operates as protection, not punishment. So the

00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:07.289
father withholds whatever would destroy you.

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:11.180
and releases to you whatever you can steward

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:15.779
successfully. So your current capacity is not

00:26:15.779 --> 00:26:21.279
an insult to your potential. It is accurate assessment

00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.119
of your present ability to carry weight without

00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:31.039
breaking. Okay? So the father makes the man before

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:33.740
he makes the minister. In regards to this, let's

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:35.619
say a mentor gives the man a ministry before

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:38.700
he's ready. There will likely be mismanagement.

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:41.960
Many times leaders promote people based upon

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.700
potential, not upon actual performance of their

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:47.460
responsibilities. So one of the worst things

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:50.200
that can happen to a man is to be promoted before

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:54.839
he's ready. So in Luke 12, 48, to everyone much

00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.299
has been given, much will be demanded, right?

00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.480
To everyone much has been given, Jesus said much

00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:04.480
will be required. So Matthew 25, verses 14 through

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:08.160
30 reveal this. When a person receives gifts

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.359
from the Father, that person is responsible to

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.099
use those gifts wisely. If a person uses those

00:27:15.099 --> 00:27:18.039
gifts wisely, they will be commended by God,

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:21.279
but if they are negligent, they will be condemned

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:25.720
by God. Now, this is a stern word, but it needs

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.880
to be paid attention to. So now watch this. So

00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:32.680
as a result, many times the Father will not give

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:36.480
a person what they're asking for. to save them

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:40.779
from condemnation. The Father will give them

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:45.980
what they can handle so that he can commend them.

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:49.500
This is very, very important for us to get a

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:53.619
hold of. Okay? So in 1 Corinthians 4 and 2, the

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:56.079
Holy Spirit says, it's required among stewards

00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.720
that a man be found faithful. The very fact that

00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.420
the Holy Spirit says found faithful means that

00:28:01.420 --> 00:28:03.400
the Holy Spirit has to search for a person who

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:06.789
is faithful. That means that faithfulness of

00:28:06.789 --> 00:28:10.869
this kind is rare and must be sought after. But

00:28:10.869 --> 00:28:13.650
the definition of a steward, according to the

00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:17.750
Greek text, is a person who finds out what the

00:28:17.750 --> 00:28:21.910
father wants done, how he wants it done, and

00:28:21.910 --> 00:28:24.990
does it the way the father wants for it to be

00:28:24.990 --> 00:28:29.809
done. So a steward is a manager, one who administrates

00:28:29.809 --> 00:28:33.950
and distributes the goods of the father. And

00:28:33.950 --> 00:28:36.950
in each one of these scriptures, you see faithfulness,

00:28:37.029 --> 00:28:40.210
you see character, you see wisdom, and you see

00:28:40.210 --> 00:28:43.890
maturity. So Romans 8 .14 says, as many as are

00:28:43.890 --> 00:28:46.250
led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons

00:28:46.250 --> 00:28:49.230
of God. And by the way, the Greek word here for

00:28:49.230 --> 00:28:52.309
sons has to do with the level of maturity. So

00:28:52.309 --> 00:28:54.609
the Holy Spirit wants to lead you into wisdom,

00:28:54.670 --> 00:28:57.349
to character, and maturity so that you can store

00:28:57.349 --> 00:28:59.589
properly the gifts of the Father in the name

00:28:59.589 --> 00:29:03.500
of the Lord Jesus. So Romans 14 and 12 says this,

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.519
the Holy Spirit says, each one of us will give

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:09.460
an account of ourselves to the father, highlighting

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:13.759
personal responsibility. So now let's get to

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.779
the third principle of the capacity code. And

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:21.599
this is the law of expansion. Okay. So now this

00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:26.200
part's important. The father increases provision.

00:29:26.859 --> 00:29:29.930
This means everything you need for life. and

00:29:29.930 --> 00:29:34.089
business and relationships and ministry. The

00:29:34.089 --> 00:29:36.849
Father increases provision, everything you need,

00:29:36.950 --> 00:29:40.549
only to the degree that you expand your own identity,

00:29:40.849 --> 00:29:44.849
your discipline, and your boundaries. In other

00:29:44.849 --> 00:29:49.190
words, provision follows preparation. Prayer

00:29:49.190 --> 00:29:52.509
empowers you through the Holy Spirit and assists

00:29:52.509 --> 00:29:56.160
you with your preparation. It is when you pray

00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.099
according to the word of God and you receive

00:29:58.099 --> 00:30:00.960
the wisdom of the Holy Spirit that you can come

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:05.180
to understand that increase does not follow good

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:09.819
intentions. Increase follows Holy Spirit, God

00:30:09.819 --> 00:30:13.720
-given infrastructures that you have allowed

00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:17.599
to be built into your life. So you have to do

00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:20.859
more than pray your way into capacity. You have

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:25.339
to build your way into capacity. And by the way,

00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:30.859
this takes time and it doesn't happen overnight.

00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:35.539
And all of us need more capacity. All right.

00:30:35.859 --> 00:30:40.359
So identity expansion means you see yourself

00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:43.400
according to the word of God. And this part's

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:46.480
very important as well. And as a person who is

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:50.920
already operating at the level that you're seeking.

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:56.299
Okay. So. Let me say it like this. A person asking

00:30:56.299 --> 00:31:00.180
for wealth while identifying as broke will sabotage

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:04.299
every opportunity for increase. The person requesting

00:31:04.299 --> 00:31:08.700
respect while identifying as a victim will unconsciously

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:12.339
maintain patterns that invite disrespect. The

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:15.140
person wanting promotion while identifying as

00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:19.200
inadequate will find ways to prove that their

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:21.960
inadequacy is a fact, even though it may not

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:26.440
necessarily be true. So your perceived identity

00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:31.160
is your internal thermostat. It will not allow

00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:34.259
your external results to exceed your internal

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:40.619
personal concept for long. So discipline expansion

00:31:40.619 --> 00:31:44.799
means building systems that can operate at the

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:48.559
level you want to reach. The person wanting financial

00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.259
abundance must first build discipline around

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:54.670
current income. The person wanting relational

00:31:54.670 --> 00:31:57.789
harmony must first build discipline around emotional

00:31:57.789 --> 00:32:01.309
regulation. The person wanting professional success

00:32:01.309 --> 00:32:04.829
must first build discipline around current responsibilities.

00:32:05.509 --> 00:32:08.829
And discipline is the result of following Jesus,

00:32:08.950 --> 00:32:13.410
as you already know. Luke 9 .23 says this, Jesus

00:32:13.410 --> 00:32:16.250
says, Whoever will come after me, let him deny

00:32:16.250 --> 00:32:19.410
himself, discipline himself, take up his cross,

00:32:19.470 --> 00:32:22.880
and follow me. Discipline means to say no to

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.960
the self -life and yes to the life of Jesus by

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.279
the Holy Spirit. It is to build holy capacity

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.480
in your life so you can receive all that the

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.720
Father has for you. Now, I can tell you for a

00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:43.839
fact, I'm not there. I'm not there. I need more

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.920
preparation in my vessel. I need more preparation

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:51.240
to be able to carry more weight. You know, it's

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:56.799
interesting. You know, Jesus said in the Gospel

00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.460
of John, you know, you have chapters 13, 14,

00:32:59.700 --> 00:33:02.759
15, 16 before he does his famous prayer in chapter

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.779
17. And Jesus at one point says to the disciples,

00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:08.259
I have many more things to you, many more things

00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:10.599
to say to you, but you can't bear it right now.

00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:13.000
And in the Greek, it means you're not yet ready

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.920
to stand up under the weight of it. Wow. And

00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:21.519
so in terms of a personal expansion or identity

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.900
expansion, in the book of Acts, chapter 20, verse

00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:28.019
32, it says this. Paul says this, I commend you

00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:30.720
to God and to the word of his grace, which is

00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:32.960
able to build you up and make you strong and

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:35.640
enable you to receive your inheritance among

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.799
those that the Lord has made holy. So the word

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:42.589
of God builds my personal capacity. And so then,

00:33:42.710 --> 00:33:44.990
you know, Jeremiah says, your words were found

00:33:44.990 --> 00:33:48.630
and I did eat them. And your words were the joy

00:33:48.630 --> 00:33:52.369
and the rejoicing of my heart. So the word of

00:33:52.369 --> 00:33:55.829
God builds your personal capacity. It's not just

00:33:55.829 --> 00:33:58.630
the logos. It's not just the general word. It's

00:33:58.630 --> 00:34:02.390
the ramus, the specific word that you need at

00:34:02.390 --> 00:34:06.710
a specific point in time that builds an internal

00:34:06.710 --> 00:34:11.190
structure that enables you to be an overcomer.

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:13.559
And then, of course, you know, these are other

00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:16.199
scriptures that we all know. 1 Corinthians 14

00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.139
says, he who speaks in a tongue speaks to God,

00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.920
and he who speaks in a tongue builds up himself.

00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:26.599
Again, spiritual infrastructure. Jude 20, verse

00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:29.340
20, build yourself up on your most holy faith,

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:33.300
praying in the Holy Spirit. So the law of vessels,

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:39.380
the law of weight, the law of expansion. This

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:43.820
whole concept of identity expansion is the result

00:34:43.820 --> 00:34:47.880
of obeying the father in Jesus. Okay. So in John

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:51.639
chapter 15, verse 20, Jesus said, remember the

00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:56.039
word that I said unto you, a servant is not greater

00:34:56.039 --> 00:35:01.420
than his master. Jesus said in Matthew 10, 24,

00:35:01.739 --> 00:35:04.900
a disciple is not above his teacher. Servant

00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:07.760
is not above his master. The Lord Jesus goes

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.820
on to say, but every disciple who's fully trained,

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:15.860
and again, trained into your full capacity, will

00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:18.480
be like his teacher. Every servant who reaches

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:21.340
maturity will be like his master. You see this

00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:27.780
in Luke 6, verse 40 and Matthew 10, 25. So your

00:35:27.780 --> 00:35:30.599
discipleship to the Lord Jesus builds an internal

00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.500
structure that can carry the weight of responsibility.

00:35:35.610 --> 00:35:38.110
that can reveal the knowledge, the wisdom, and

00:35:38.110 --> 00:35:41.309
the glory of God. And I think we have to remember

00:35:41.309 --> 00:35:45.650
that we're all on a continuum, okay? We all have

00:35:45.650 --> 00:35:49.090
days where we could carry greater or lesser weight,

00:35:49.369 --> 00:35:53.309
okay? Depending upon our spiritual nutrition

00:35:53.309 --> 00:35:58.250
or malnutrition, okay? Our diligence and our

00:35:58.250 --> 00:36:01.130
neglect. And, you know, all of us have those

00:36:01.130 --> 00:36:04.550
days or times or maybe even weeks. where we're

00:36:04.550 --> 00:36:09.110
doing better than others, okay? And so this is

00:36:09.110 --> 00:36:11.389
not for you to condemn yourself or judge yourself.

00:36:11.510 --> 00:36:15.250
It is just a tool of self -assessment. And so

00:36:15.250 --> 00:36:19.650
in 1 John 4, verse 17, the Holy Spirit says,

00:36:20.050 --> 00:36:24.349
as Jesus is, so are we in this world. In other

00:36:24.349 --> 00:36:27.829
words, identity expansion is the result of following

00:36:27.829 --> 00:36:31.909
Jesus, and you become like the one you follow.

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:34.960
So when you exercise the discipline of Jesus

00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.619
at your current level, it is now proof of your

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:43.659
readiness to reach the next level in Jesus. Boundary

00:36:43.659 --> 00:36:47.860
expansion means you're learning to say no to

00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:51.059
good things so you can say yes to great things.

00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:57.369
So the person with no boundaries cannot. be trusted

00:36:57.369 --> 00:37:01.469
with new opportunities because they dissipate

00:37:01.469 --> 00:37:06.289
their energy across too many priorities. And

00:37:06.289 --> 00:37:12.050
this is a tough one because, you know, sometimes

00:37:12.050 --> 00:37:17.070
we sacrifice the most important for the immediate.

00:37:17.250 --> 00:37:22.510
Okay. And sometimes other people's crisis become

00:37:22.510 --> 00:37:26.940
our emergency. Because we care about people,

00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:31.980
and sometimes we have so, so many things we're

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:35.519
paying attention to. Sometimes the urgent takes

00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:39.340
the place of that which is really most critical.

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:43.219
All this stuff just pops up on us, okay? And

00:37:43.219 --> 00:37:47.320
sometimes we get distracted by it. And so it

00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:50.800
takes us away from what we really, really need

00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:54.400
to focus on. And this happens to all of us. Pretty

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:57.780
much. I mean, there may be a very, very minuscule

00:37:57.780 --> 00:38:00.940
or a small percentage of people. It doesn't happen

00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:05.139
to. But most of us get distracted. And, you know,

00:38:05.219 --> 00:38:08.679
the scripture in Hebrews 12 that says looking

00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:10.840
unto Jesus in the Greek, it means looking away

00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:14.739
from all that distracts. Wow. For those of us

00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:17.860
who have, how shall I say this, attention deficit

00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:23.000
issues or are highly distracted. issues with

00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:26.159
maintaining focus, this becomes even a greater

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:28.639
challenge. So I just wanted to mention that.

00:38:28.739 --> 00:38:30.960
You know, what's funny is as I'm preaching to

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.619
you, I'm preaching to me too, okay? And sometimes,

00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.000
you know, you preach it to learn it yourself.

00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:41.039
And so the person who cannot protect their time

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:44.980
cannot be given more time, okay? The person who

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:47.039
cannot protect their energy will not be given

00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:50.820
more demanding responsibilities. So these three

00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:55.039
expansions happen in order. Number one, identity

00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:58.980
creates the framework. Number two, discipline

00:38:58.980 --> 00:39:02.440
builds the structure. Number three, boundaries

00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:08.000
protect the investment. Wow. And when all three

00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.619
expansions are complete, vision flows supernaturally.

00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:17.019
Not because the father just suddenly decides

00:39:17.019 --> 00:39:21.820
to bless you. but because you have become the

00:39:21.820 --> 00:39:24.699
kind of son or daughter that the blessings will

00:39:24.699 --> 00:39:30.099
now gravitate toward. I think this is really,

00:39:30.179 --> 00:39:33.219
really important. And so what does it do there?

00:39:33.340 --> 00:39:37.519
What does it do? It exposes, as I'm giving you

00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:41.679
this message, some painful patterns that reveal

00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:46.829
capacity limitations. You know, put on your seatbelt

00:39:46.829 --> 00:39:49.269
because this might describe your current situation.

00:39:50.190 --> 00:39:53.090
And this exposure is not meant to shame you.

00:39:53.389 --> 00:39:57.050
It is meant to diagnose exactly where your capacity

00:39:57.050 --> 00:40:01.130
building must focus. So you may have a person

00:40:01.130 --> 00:40:03.929
who's praying for business success, but they're

00:40:03.929 --> 00:40:07.250
not managing their current income. You want more

00:40:07.250 --> 00:40:11.690
money to flow in while money flows out uncontrolled.

00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.059
You need to work on your budget, develop a tracking

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:17.639
system, a conscious relationship with the resources

00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:20.760
already in your hands. You must get ready for

00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.139
the Father to give you greater financial responsibility.

00:40:24.179 --> 00:40:26.920
So the person who can govern small amounts can

00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:30.079
be blessed with larger amounts. And so in order

00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:33.280
to receive promotion, there must be a greater

00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:37.139
acceptance of responsibility. The reality is

00:40:37.139 --> 00:40:39.579
there are people who cannot govern small amounts

00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:42.460
and therefore put themselves in a position where

00:40:42.460 --> 00:40:45.739
they cannot be blessed with larger amounts. There

00:40:45.739 --> 00:40:47.780
are people who want promotion but avoid responsibility.

00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:51.000
There are people who want the title, the salary,

00:40:51.099 --> 00:40:55.440
the recognition, but not the pressure, the decisions,

00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:58.119
the accountability that comes with leadership.

00:40:58.579 --> 00:41:00.780
There are people who complain about their current

00:41:00.780 --> 00:41:03.739
position while demonstrating exactly while they're

00:41:03.739 --> 00:41:07.730
not yet ready. for a hiring. Here's the thing.

00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:12.789
Promotion is not a reward for longevity. It's

00:41:12.789 --> 00:41:16.929
a recognition of capacity. So the person who

00:41:16.929 --> 00:41:19.210
avoids responsibility at their current level

00:41:19.210 --> 00:41:22.269
will be crushed by responsibility at the next

00:41:22.269 --> 00:41:26.480
level. Remember... Jesus will not give you something

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:29.420
you're not ready for because at the end of the

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:32.320
day, he does not want you to be crushed or condemned

00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:35.519
by it. He gives you what you can handle so you

00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:39.820
can be commended by God. Okay. So the person

00:41:39.820 --> 00:41:42.880
who asked for abundance, but leaks money emotionally

00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:47.039
will not get more because every feeling becomes

00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:51.980
a purchase. Okay. Every mood becomes a spending

00:41:51.980 --> 00:41:56.429
decision. All right. Now, I know this is very,

00:41:56.449 --> 00:42:00.090
very challenging, but the word of the Lord sometimes

00:42:00.090 --> 00:42:04.090
needs to be life changing. Every stress becomes

00:42:04.090 --> 00:42:07.869
a shopping trip. So there are people who use

00:42:07.869 --> 00:42:11.969
money to manage emotions rather than using wisdom

00:42:11.969 --> 00:42:15.710
to manage money. And so your financial life is

00:42:15.710 --> 00:42:18.210
determined by your emotional life, which means

00:42:18.210 --> 00:42:22.530
you're not governing either one. So when you

00:42:22.530 --> 00:42:24.449
become disciplined in your spending, abundance

00:42:24.449 --> 00:42:27.570
comes into your hands, as well as financial freedom

00:42:27.570 --> 00:42:31.449
by the Father's grace. So when you, by the grace

00:42:31.449 --> 00:42:34.349
of God, govern your emotions, you govern yourself,

00:42:34.650 --> 00:42:37.289
and you honor yourself as well as the Father.

00:42:37.889 --> 00:42:40.969
You set boundaries around your own reactions.

00:42:41.389 --> 00:42:44.829
I know these things are difficult, okay? Because

00:42:44.829 --> 00:42:47.869
I think some of us, we really have issues with

00:42:47.869 --> 00:42:52.099
impulsivity. Some of us, we make our mistakes

00:42:52.099 --> 00:42:56.159
when we act in frustration. Some of us, we err

00:42:56.159 --> 00:43:00.559
when we are angry. And so sometimes, like I say,

00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:04.719
the challenge is emotional regulation. And sometimes

00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:08.920
we leap before we look and we jump to conclusions.

00:43:09.219 --> 00:43:12.300
Of course, then we have rationalizations for

00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:14.500
our actions. You know, I think there's a very

00:43:14.500 --> 00:43:16.599
interesting thing that happens in Scripture.

00:43:17.630 --> 00:43:20.849
Mary is promised to Joseph to marry, and she

00:43:20.849 --> 00:43:24.510
ends up pregnant. And anybody who looks at that

00:43:24.510 --> 00:43:26.730
situation would say, okay, she's been with someone.

00:43:27.530 --> 00:43:30.309
But the Bible says in the book of Matthew that

00:43:30.309 --> 00:43:33.269
while Joseph, quote, thought on these things,

00:43:33.489 --> 00:43:37.329
he pushed the pause button. He had emotional

00:43:37.329 --> 00:43:41.429
regulation. He did not jump to what would be

00:43:41.429 --> 00:43:45.130
an obvious conclusion to make. He stopped, he

00:43:45.130 --> 00:43:47.289
looked, and he listened for the voice of God.

00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:51.440
And he thought to put her away privately and

00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:56.019
not expose her publicly. While he thought on

00:43:56.019 --> 00:43:57.760
these things, the angel of the Lord appears to

00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.639
him and says, hey, go ahead and take Mary as

00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.539
your wife. That which is conceived in her is

00:44:02.539 --> 00:44:05.599
the Holy Spirit. And so I can look back and I

00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:08.239
can safely say with a great deal of accuracy,

00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:13.539
whenever I have made a decision to act impulsively,

00:44:13.659 --> 00:44:17.400
I usually had to repent. Whenever I've made a

00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:20.940
decision because I acted out of anger, I've had

00:44:20.940 --> 00:44:23.900
to repent. Whenever I've made a decision and

00:44:23.900 --> 00:44:26.699
I acted out of frustration, I've had to repent.

00:44:27.260 --> 00:44:30.980
And whenever I have jumped to a conclusion or

00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:33.780
really did not think that thing through completely,

00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:37.599
I've had to repent. And trust me, I've had to

00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:45.139
do a lot of repenting. Haven't we all? It's just

00:44:45.139 --> 00:44:48.500
the truth anyhow. All right. So you have to set

00:44:48.500 --> 00:44:51.440
boundaries around your own reactions. Here's

00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:55.079
the other thing. You have to treat yourself well.

00:44:55.340 --> 00:44:58.400
You have to honor yourself. When you treat yourself

00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:01.960
well and when you honor yourself in terms of

00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:05.559
taking care of yourself, as the Bible says, you

00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.579
honor the Father. And what's interesting is the

00:45:08.579 --> 00:45:10.860
better you treat yourself in obedience to the

00:45:10.860 --> 00:45:14.099
word of God, people will treat you better. You

00:45:14.099 --> 00:45:16.679
don't have to demand respect, okay? You respect

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:19.500
yourself by the grace of God, and other people

00:45:19.500 --> 00:45:23.320
will begin to respect you too. So here is a practical

00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:27.739
capacity expansion, okay? That's what this is.

00:45:27.980 --> 00:45:31.980
It's a blueprint. It's not theory. It is architecture,

00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:37.500
okay? So these steps will build internal infrastructure

00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:41.500
that makes increase inevitable. You won't need

00:45:41.500 --> 00:45:44.050
to modify them. You don't need to skip steps.

00:45:44.409 --> 00:45:47.429
You don't need to add complexity. Follow them

00:45:47.429 --> 00:45:51.369
as designed. Number one, create a boundary. Choose

00:45:51.369 --> 00:45:54.809
one area where you currently have no limits and

00:45:54.809 --> 00:45:58.969
establish a clean boundary, a time boundary,

00:45:59.170 --> 00:46:02.989
a money boundary, an energy boundary. The boundary

00:46:02.989 --> 00:46:07.190
must be specific. It must be measurable. It must

00:46:07.190 --> 00:46:12.250
be non -negotiable. under extreme or extraordinary

00:46:12.250 --> 00:46:17.070
circumstances, like a legitimate emergency. Examples.

00:46:17.489 --> 00:46:21.750
I will not spend more than this amount on entertainment

00:46:21.750 --> 00:46:25.409
each month. I will give this amount of time to

00:46:25.409 --> 00:46:29.210
the Word of God and to prayer. Step two, and

00:46:29.210 --> 00:46:32.750
this is a big one. I will eliminate one area

00:46:32.750 --> 00:46:39.090
of chaos. Okay? That's good. Okay. I will identify.

00:46:39.820 --> 00:46:43.360
Areas of my life that drain my energy without

00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:47.940
creating value. I will identify areas of my life

00:46:47.940 --> 00:46:52.699
that drain my energy because of toxic relationships.

00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.260
I will identify and distance myself from time

00:46:57.260 --> 00:47:00.619
-wasting activities. I will identify and distance

00:47:00.619 --> 00:47:04.320
myself from disorganized systems. I will clean

00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.340
up my personal environment. I will not do this

00:47:07.340 --> 00:47:11.909
just temporarily. I'll do it permanently. Because

00:47:11.909 --> 00:47:15.449
I understand that my capacity increases when

00:47:15.449 --> 00:47:19.489
my chaos decreases. And I want to make that statement

00:47:19.489 --> 00:47:22.949
again. I understand that my capacity increases

00:47:22.949 --> 00:47:26.570
when my chaos decreases. I know in my own personal

00:47:26.570 --> 00:47:28.289
experience, there have been people that I have

00:47:28.289 --> 00:47:31.809
loved, but I noticed that they could not go where

00:47:31.809 --> 00:47:35.369
the Lord was taking me. And I noticed that when

00:47:35.369 --> 00:47:40.860
I left those people, my capacity increased. And

00:47:40.860 --> 00:47:42.960
so sometimes you have to identify who's supposed

00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.400
to be in your life permanently and who's supposed

00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:47.820
to be in your life temporarily. Why are they

00:47:47.820 --> 00:47:51.619
there? It's interesting. Some people, when they

00:47:51.619 --> 00:47:54.519
exit your life, your capacity increases. Some

00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:56.760
people that the Lord brings into your life, your

00:47:56.760 --> 00:48:01.239
capacity increases. And so number three, I realized

00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:04.300
I could not build a foundation. on a foundation

00:48:04.300 --> 00:48:07.239
that's currently shifting. So I have to build

00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:10.760
a system. I will create a structure that operates

00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:15.719
whether I feel like it or not. I will build a

00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:18.880
budget system, an exercise system. I need to

00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:21.699
do that one. That's one I'm really struggling

00:48:21.699 --> 00:48:25.599
with, particularly because we've pretty much

00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:29.780
been slowed in here for a while. And I will build

00:48:29.780 --> 00:48:32.599
a learning system. I got to work on my exercise

00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:36.300
system a whole lot more. The system has to be

00:48:36.300 --> 00:48:38.739
simple enough to maintain and effective enough

00:48:38.739 --> 00:48:42.380
to produce results. So I understand that the

00:48:42.380 --> 00:48:48.079
system replaces willpower. Oh, that's good. This

00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:51.219
is a big deal. Yeah. And when I have a system,

00:48:51.420 --> 00:48:54.519
I do not have to rely upon motivation because

00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:57.320
I have found that there are times when I literally

00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:01.480
just don't have the motivation. I just don't

00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:04.099
have it. I can't find it, and it's missing in

00:49:04.099 --> 00:49:09.360
action, and it's hiding from me. I get it. Okay?

00:49:09.699 --> 00:49:12.679
So I have to rely upon structure, and I have

00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:18.059
to measure my progress over time. So I have to

00:49:18.059 --> 00:49:22.260
practice the system consistently and constantly

00:49:22.260 --> 00:49:27.099
and faithfully. Number four, I have to measure

00:49:27.099 --> 00:49:30.250
something consistently. And here's why, and I

00:49:30.250 --> 00:49:32.309
think this part's important, at least it is for

00:49:32.309 --> 00:49:35.909
me. What gets measured is what gets managed,

00:49:36.230 --> 00:49:40.730
okay? So I have to choose a metric that reflects

00:49:40.730 --> 00:49:45.230
my progress toward increased capacity. Money

00:49:45.230 --> 00:49:50.510
saved, weight loss scales developed, time -protected

00:49:50.510 --> 00:49:54.010
books, reading, I have to check the measurement.

00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:58.000
either daily or weekly because measurement creates

00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:01.539
accountability and accountability creates improvement.

00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:05.400
So I will begin to feel better when I am able

00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:09.179
to mark some progress. Step five, I will accept

00:50:09.179 --> 00:50:11.760
responsibility without complaining. Now that's

00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:15.340
a tough one right there. So I will find one area

00:50:15.340 --> 00:50:17.440
where I've been making excuses and take full

00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:20.800
ownership. I will stop complaining why things

00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:24.440
are my fault. Okay. Or somebody else's fault.

00:50:24.539 --> 00:50:28.139
I prefer that one, quite frankly. And I will

00:50:28.139 --> 00:50:31.260
start determining how things can become my responsibility.

00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:35.559
So responsibility is the foundation of authority.

00:50:36.059 --> 00:50:39.239
I can lead what I own. I can improve what I accept

00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:42.340
as mine to manage. And I will do so by the help

00:50:42.340 --> 00:50:45.380
of God. Step six, and I'm coming to a close now.

00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.280
I will practice delayed gratification intentionally.

00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:52.559
When I see something I want, I will deliberately

00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:55.239
wait before getting it, not because I can't afford

00:50:55.239 --> 00:50:59.079
it, but because I'm training myself to want without

00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:02.440
needing to desire, to want without demanding

00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:07.519
it, to prefer without requiring. Okay? And so,

00:51:07.539 --> 00:51:10.340
yeah, there, I do want it, I desire it, I prefer

00:51:10.340 --> 00:51:12.760
it, but I'm going to say no to it just to practice

00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:16.219
the delay of self -gratification. I understand

00:51:16.219 --> 00:51:18.760
that delayed gratification builds internal...

00:51:20.819 --> 00:51:24.539
Strength. Immediate gratification builds internal

00:51:24.539 --> 00:51:30.820
weakness. Okay? Step seven. I will do one action

00:51:30.820 --> 00:51:36.860
daily that my future can inherit. I want to say

00:51:36.860 --> 00:51:42.179
that again. I will do one action daily that enables

00:51:42.179 --> 00:51:45.619
me to inherit my future. I'll build something.

00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:48.789
I'll learn something. I'll create something.

00:51:48.869 --> 00:51:52.530
I'll save something. I'll develop something that

00:51:52.530 --> 00:51:55.510
adds to my long -term capacity instead of just

00:51:55.510 --> 00:52:00.329
meeting short -term desires. Okay? So these seven

00:52:00.329 --> 00:52:03.750
steps will work because they address my real

00:52:03.750 --> 00:52:07.070
issue. By the help of God, I'm designing systems

00:52:07.070 --> 00:52:10.309
that can sustain the blessing. I'm building capacity

00:52:10.309 --> 00:52:13.489
systematically so the blessing will appear supernaturally.

00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:16.599
And so I'm going to change my ability to receive

00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:20.940
what the Father is ready to give. Now, let me

00:52:20.940 --> 00:52:24.199
summarize three objections that keep people trapped

00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:29.840
in capacity limitation. All right? So these objections

00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:33.980
seem logical, but they're based upon fundamental

00:52:33.980 --> 00:52:36.440
misunderstandings about how divine provision

00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:40.739
operates. Objection number one, I'm already ready.

00:52:41.500 --> 00:52:44.989
The Father is withholding from me. I believe

00:52:44.989 --> 00:52:47.949
I'm prepared for increase, and the Father is

00:52:47.949 --> 00:52:50.989
the bottleneck. I have the desire. I have the

00:52:50.989 --> 00:52:53.710
vision. I have the faith. I have the prayer life.

00:52:53.909 --> 00:52:58.050
So here's my question to that objection, to that

00:52:58.050 --> 00:53:04.010
belief. So why isn't anything changing? The answer

00:53:04.010 --> 00:53:08.690
is readiness is not measured by desire. It's

00:53:08.690 --> 00:53:11.389
measured by demonstrated capacity under current

00:53:11.389 --> 00:53:14.650
conditions. So if you cannot handle what you

00:53:14.650 --> 00:53:17.090
have, you're not ready for more. If you cannot

00:53:17.090 --> 00:53:20.010
manage current responsibility well, you're not

00:53:20.010 --> 00:53:24.110
ready for greater responsibility. Remember, the

00:53:24.110 --> 00:53:28.449
Father does not measure readiness by your passion

00:53:28.449 --> 00:53:31.750
or by your performance. Objection number two.

00:53:32.849 --> 00:53:35.170
Yeah, I've been through objection number one.

00:53:38.429 --> 00:53:40.389
You ought to ask yourself, how does this preacher

00:53:40.389 --> 00:53:46.690
know these things? Objection number two. Once

00:53:46.690 --> 00:53:49.989
I have more, I'll be more disciplined. I'll build

00:53:49.989 --> 00:53:55.090
systems after the increase arise. I'll get organized

00:53:55.090 --> 00:53:58.050
when I have more money. I'll manage my time better

00:53:58.050 --> 00:54:01.010
when I have more opportunities. As you can see,

00:54:01.050 --> 00:54:04.070
I had to write this stuff down. I can't keep

00:54:04.070 --> 00:54:09.889
this stuff in my head all at once. I will handle

00:54:09.889 --> 00:54:12.480
pressure. Better when the stakes are higher.

00:54:13.139 --> 00:54:18.099
Okay? Again, I have done this one too. And the

00:54:18.099 --> 00:54:21.579
answer is this is backwards thinking that guarantees

00:54:21.579 --> 00:54:25.519
continued limitation. The truth is, and this

00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:29.739
is very, very important, discipline comes before

00:54:29.739 --> 00:54:35.340
increase, not after. The system has to come before

00:54:35.340 --> 00:54:40.010
the success, not after. Capacity comes before

00:54:40.010 --> 00:54:45.110
the blessing, not after. So in other words, I'm

00:54:45.110 --> 00:54:47.489
preaching to myself as well as to you. I've been

00:54:47.489 --> 00:54:51.230
there. I've done that. I'm 70 years of age. I'm

00:54:51.230 --> 00:54:54.889
giving you part of my personal journey. Objection

00:54:54.889 --> 00:54:59.590
number three, I'm overwhelmed. And I can promise

00:54:59.590 --> 00:55:04.190
you, a lot of you that are hearing me can relate

00:55:04.190 --> 00:55:07.599
to this one as well as the other two. Capacity

00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:11.739
will come later because right now I am too pressured

00:55:11.739 --> 00:55:15.619
by current circumstances to invest in building

00:55:15.619 --> 00:55:19.840
my capacity for greater, greater circumstances.

00:55:20.860 --> 00:55:25.099
Okay? I'm too broke to learn money management.

00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:29.960
I'm too busy to organize my time. I'm too stressed

00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:33.760
to develop emotional regulation. And, you know,

00:55:33.780 --> 00:55:36.519
when you're overwhelmed, it's like, I just can't.

00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:40.460
I just can't. Okay? Now, here's the problem with

00:55:40.460 --> 00:55:43.460
it, though. This logic ensures that your current

00:55:43.460 --> 00:55:48.300
limitations become permanent. Capacity building

00:55:48.300 --> 00:55:54.920
happens during difficult seasons, not after them.

00:55:55.219 --> 00:55:59.699
Makes sense. Yeah. Okay? Because difficult seasons

00:55:59.699 --> 00:56:06.070
know your address. They know the nation you live

00:56:06.070 --> 00:56:09.389
in, the state you live in, the city you live

00:56:09.389 --> 00:56:12.130
in, your street address. They come through the

00:56:12.130 --> 00:56:14.650
front door, the back door, the window. They come

00:56:14.650 --> 00:56:20.070
uninvited, okay? True. And so capacity building

00:56:20.070 --> 00:56:25.510
happens during difficult seasons, okay? Here's

00:56:25.510 --> 00:56:29.670
a truth. Strength is built under a load, not

00:56:29.670 --> 00:56:34.199
in comfort. That's true. Right? The father funds

00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:39.619
stewardship, not your desire. The father invests

00:56:39.619 --> 00:56:42.900
in demonstrated capacity, not in declared intention.

00:56:43.460 --> 00:56:48.420
Okay? So preparation is proof of readiness. Performance

00:56:48.420 --> 00:56:50.800
under current pressure is evidence of capacity

00:56:50.800 --> 00:56:53.739
for greater pressure. And your current circumstances

00:56:53.739 --> 00:56:59.019
are not punishment for past mistakes. They are

00:56:59.019 --> 00:57:04.460
training. Amen. For future opportunities. I want

00:57:04.460 --> 00:57:07.460
to say that again. Your current circumstances

00:57:07.460 --> 00:57:11.860
are not punishment for past mistakes. Your current

00:57:11.860 --> 00:57:16.079
circumstances are training for future opportunities.

00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:18.619
Beautiful. So when you accept that your current

00:57:18.619 --> 00:57:23.640
capacity determines your current results. Everything

00:57:23.640 --> 00:57:27.500
changes. You stop waiting for circumstances to

00:57:27.500 --> 00:57:30.340
improve, and you start building your internal

00:57:30.340 --> 00:57:34.980
architecture. And that makes your circumstances

00:57:34.980 --> 00:57:40.559
improvement inevitable. Now, you're going to

00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:43.199
stop asking why the Father's not blessing you.

00:57:43.300 --> 00:57:45.599
You're going to start preparing to receive what

00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:48.400
Jesus has purchased for you that the Father wants

00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:52.650
to release to you. Now. When your internal infrastructure

00:57:52.650 --> 00:57:56.710
can support greater weight, greater weight appears.

00:57:57.210 --> 00:58:00.829
When your internal infrastructure can support

00:58:00.829 --> 00:58:06.289
greater blessing, greater blessing appears. Okay?

00:58:06.329 --> 00:58:10.030
So opportunities appear without you chasing them.

00:58:10.380 --> 00:58:13.019
People start recommending you for positions you

00:58:13.019 --> 00:58:16.000
didn't apply for. Resources flow towards you

00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:18.500
because you've demonstrated the ability to steward

00:58:18.500 --> 00:58:22.280
resources wisely. Doors open not because you're

00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:24.539
knocking harder, but because you have proven

00:58:24.539 --> 00:58:27.400
you can handle what's on the other side of the

00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:32.159
door. Now, pressure does not feel overwhelming.

00:58:32.460 --> 00:58:35.909
It feels manageable. situations that used to

00:58:35.909 --> 00:58:39.429
create anxiety, you face now with a holy tranquility.

00:58:39.670 --> 00:58:42.050
You can make clear decisions in circumstances

00:58:42.050 --> 00:58:46.030
that used to create confusion. You can handle

00:58:46.030 --> 00:58:49.349
setbacks with perspective instead of panic. Your

00:58:49.349 --> 00:58:52.610
increased capacity means that greater challenges

00:58:52.610 --> 00:58:55.929
feel like normal challenges. More money becomes

00:58:55.929 --> 00:58:59.869
obedient to your direction. Instead of wondering

00:58:59.869 --> 00:59:02.659
where the money went, You direct where the money

00:59:02.659 --> 00:59:05.920
goes. Instead of money controlling your emotions,

00:59:05.980 --> 00:59:08.599
you control your emotions about money. Instead

00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:11.460
of financial stress dominating your mental energy,

00:59:11.780 --> 00:59:15.400
financial clarity creates mental peace. Money

00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:19.820
transforms from master to servant. Circumstances

00:59:19.820 --> 00:59:22.840
begin responding to your internal strength, and

00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:24.780
people treat you differently because you treat

00:59:24.780 --> 00:59:29.380
yourself differently. Opportunities align with

00:59:29.380 --> 00:59:33.760
your preparation. Now, instead of you feeling

00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:36.139
that like problems are evidence that life is

00:59:36.139 --> 00:59:39.579
against you, problems become puzzles for you

00:59:39.579 --> 00:59:43.840
to solve and you enjoy solving them. So obviously

00:59:43.840 --> 00:59:47.900
this is not the conclusion to the message on

00:59:47.900 --> 00:59:51.380
the code capacity, but it will give a person

00:59:51.380 --> 00:59:57.079
an idea. Okay. And there are other codes. There's

00:59:57.079 --> 00:59:59.420
qualification codes. There's alignment codes.

00:59:59.840 --> 01:00:04.000
There are codes of divine order. There are various,

01:00:04.099 --> 01:00:07.219
various codes that the Lord has brought me into

01:00:07.219 --> 01:00:12.139
that I believe can literally solve the puzzle

01:00:12.139 --> 01:00:16.039
and can help people have a roadmap. The big thing

01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:20.320
I think is true is I think that people are saying,

01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:22.900
okay, how do I get out of my current situation?

01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:28.260
What do I need to do to create change? And the

01:00:28.260 --> 01:00:31.920
big thing I say to people is this. He that is

01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:35.920
joined to the Lord is one spirit. Amen. So Jesus

01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:40.539
is a genius. And Jesus is brilliant. And Jesus

01:00:40.539 --> 01:00:45.980
has creativity. So that means that in the spirit

01:00:45.980 --> 01:00:48.739
of Jesus, I'm a genius. In the spirit of Jesus,

01:00:48.800 --> 01:00:51.320
I'm brilliant. And in the spirit of Jesus, I

01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:56.320
have creativity. My struggle, my struggle, my

01:00:56.320 --> 01:01:02.179
struggle is not my faith. My struggle is my self

01:01:02.179 --> 01:01:08.940
-doubt. My struggle, my struggle is not my education.

01:01:09.460 --> 01:01:13.780
My struggle is what do I believe about myself.

01:01:14.360 --> 01:01:19.500
And so the most difficult thing I think for me

01:01:19.500 --> 01:01:27.230
has been to stop. And to turn down or turn off

01:01:27.230 --> 01:01:32.690
as much as possible the noise in my mind. Okay.

01:01:33.610 --> 01:01:39.269
Because in my experience, sometimes what interferes

01:01:39.269 --> 01:01:43.929
with my progress is all the brain chatter. Okay.

01:01:44.250 --> 01:01:48.309
True. It's the brain fog that the spirit of this

01:01:48.309 --> 01:01:53.860
age seems to project toward me. Right. That makes

01:01:53.860 --> 01:01:58.739
it difficult for me to think with clarity. And

01:01:58.739 --> 01:02:01.519
so I think that one of the reasons I need the

01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:05.039
presence of God more in my life is because in

01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:10.280
the atmosphere of heaven, there is clarity. Amen.

01:02:10.340 --> 01:02:13.300
And here's something I want to say to people,

01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:16.059
and I don't know if you've considered this, okay,

01:02:16.159 --> 01:02:18.980
but there's truth in this, and if you consider

01:02:18.980 --> 01:02:22.550
it, you'll see the truth of it. You think in

01:02:22.550 --> 01:02:27.510
and out of an atmosphere, all right? Listen,

01:02:27.829 --> 01:02:31.469
I promise you, I promise you, the drug addict

01:02:31.469 --> 01:02:33.469
is not thinking about where he can get drugs

01:02:33.469 --> 01:02:36.510
when he's in the police station, okay? The atmosphere

01:02:36.510 --> 01:02:42.599
does not, does not, you know. If a person's in

01:02:42.599 --> 01:02:44.639
a nightclub, they have a certain thing on their

01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:48.400
mind, alcohol, drugs, hooking up with somebody,

01:02:48.500 --> 01:02:52.539
because the atmosphere in and of itself influences

01:02:52.539 --> 01:02:57.059
what's going on in the mind. And so, you know,

01:02:57.059 --> 01:03:00.219
when a person is watching the television, it's

01:03:00.219 --> 01:03:04.239
telling a vision and it is influencing your thinking.

01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:08.960
So you mentioned something about as much as people

01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:13.239
can be in the meetings. Okay, there in May. It

01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:16.780
means something because when you're in that atmosphere,

01:03:17.219 --> 01:03:20.739
the atmosphere of heaven, the thoughts of the

01:03:20.739 --> 01:03:24.480
Father, the revelations of Jesus, in that atmosphere,

01:03:24.579 --> 01:03:28.699
you can think in that atmosphere. And one of

01:03:28.699 --> 01:03:31.420
the things that can happen is you can have the

01:03:31.420 --> 01:03:35.469
clarity of the Christ. You can have the creativity

01:03:35.469 --> 01:03:38.929
of the Christ. And then in that atmosphere, all

01:03:38.929 --> 01:03:41.909
of a sudden solutions can come that can solve

01:03:41.909 --> 01:03:45.349
problems successfully. And that's why one of

01:03:45.349 --> 01:03:48.150
the reasons why we need to come together and

01:03:48.150 --> 01:03:50.110
that we need to be in the atmosphere of heaven,

01:03:50.170 --> 01:03:53.630
because you can think in that atmosphere, that

01:03:53.630 --> 01:03:58.840
atmosphere can shut out the confusion. the noise.

01:03:59.139 --> 01:04:03.300
It can suspend the brain chatter. It can dissipate

01:04:03.300 --> 01:04:07.280
the fog so that you can have focus on the Father

01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:10.639
and then receive answers that are supernatural

01:04:10.639 --> 01:04:15.199
that will move you into supernatural progress

01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:19.579
and success. And success, in my definition, is

01:04:19.579 --> 01:04:21.900
being able to come into an intimate knowledge

01:04:21.900 --> 01:04:25.239
of the Father and Jesus and do the will of the

01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:28.719
Father. And bring God glory and benefit yourself

01:04:28.719 --> 01:04:31.739
because you're following Jesus and benefit others.

01:04:32.119 --> 01:04:36.739
And so that is an example, a little bit of the

01:04:36.739 --> 01:04:42.619
capacity code. That's so good. Wow. So, so good.

01:04:42.699 --> 01:04:47.380
Thank you so much. That was so powerful. Wow.

01:04:47.739 --> 01:04:51.639

and we've connected very, very deeply. And thank

01:05:56.750 --> 01:06:03.130
you so much for being on our board now. find

01:06:03.130 --> 01:06:05.030
strategists, and you were the first one to come

01:06:05.030 --> 01:06:09.429
to mind. Thank you. Actually, here's what I want

01:06:09.429 --> 01:06:14.469
to say to people is, Jesus, when it says in Isaiah

01:06:14.469 --> 01:06:17.269
9 and 6, his name should be called Wonderful

01:06:17.269 --> 01:06:19.989
Counselor, you can translate that Brave Strategist.

01:06:20.250 --> 01:06:25.829
Amen. My challenge has been, sometimes it seems

01:06:25.829 --> 01:06:30.369
I'm in a struggle to find the right strategy.

01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:37.579
for the time in which I'm stuck. Okay? Okay.

01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:42.019
And there are times when I have found that brilliant

01:06:42.019 --> 01:06:45.179
strategy that got me unstuck and caused me to

01:06:45.179 --> 01:06:48.599
move forward. And then there are other times

01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:54.219
when it's like, I mean, where is the Lord? Okay.

01:06:54.219 --> 01:06:57.179
Which is really the wrong question, right? Right.

01:06:57.239 --> 01:06:59.679
It's where am I? It's where am I? Exactly. Okay.

01:06:59.679 --> 01:07:02.840
Because he's the same. He's exactly where I left

01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:08.159
him. Okay. Lord, that'll preach. Yeah. So, Lord,

01:07:08.340 --> 01:07:11.199
help me to get to where you are. Okay. Amen.

01:07:11.320 --> 01:07:13.880
And so I want to let people know that I'm having

01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:17.789
the same struggles that they're having. Okay.

01:07:18.070 --> 01:07:20.909
And I'm searching for answers just like they

01:07:20.909 --> 01:07:24.230
are. And we're all in this thing together. And

01:07:24.230 --> 01:07:27.449
the same God who has helped you is going to help

01:07:27.449 --> 01:07:29.869
me. And the same God who's helping me is going

01:07:29.869 --> 01:07:33.789
to help you. Amen. Amen. Well, we thoroughly

01:07:33.789 --> 01:07:36.150
agree with that prayer. And Holy Ghost, we just

01:07:36.150 --> 01:07:39.349
