So quit eyeballing what others have, you won't go without with plenty leftover.
00:06.442 --> 00:12.805
In Chronicles it says since the people began giving offerings to the Lord, they had enough for their needs.
00:12.886 --> 00:17.308
With plenty leftover, plenty leftover.
00:17.760 --> 00:25.384
God's style is plenty leftover, hallelujah, that's His way, that's His will.
00:26.300 --> 00:28.388

Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds.
00:52.641 --> 01:02.429
As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by His grace and that he has a real hope and a future for you.
01:06.300 --> 01:14.567
Hallelujah Well, open up your heart to receive this morning, because that's what the Lord wants to do.
01:14.720 --> 01:15.845
He's in the giving business.
01:17.440 --> 01:27.248
Hopefully, if you've been around Christianity for five minutes, you've gotten that that the Lord's in the given business and given is what he likes to do.
01:30.220 --> 01:37.269
But that seems to be difficult for us as people to really get, because out in life we're getting our butts kicked.
01:39.120 --> 01:45.483
Life can be harsh and then religion.
01:46.767 --> 01:55.595
Religion makes it seem like God's in the taking business and God's never looking to see what he can take from you.
01:55.700 --> 01:57.426
He's looking to see what he can get to you.
01:58.420 --> 02:00.488
Even when he wants to take something from you.
02:00.700 --> 02:04.065
It's so that he can get even more of the thing that you really need to you.
02:10.920 --> 02:17.863
But we need to position ourselves to realize God is a fountain, an ever-flowing fountain, and he doesn't run out.
02:21.820 --> 02:26.446
People are funny and something.
02:26.847 --> 02:28.892
By the way, can I confess something to you?
02:30.561 --> 02:34.632
I have a lot of tolerance that the Lord gave in.
02:34.960 --> 02:37.168
A pastor should have a lot of for all manner of sin.
02:39.300 --> 02:41.107
I can sit down and talk to a crackhead.
02:41.920 --> 02:45.119
I can sit down all manner of sin, somebody who's in promiscuity.
02:45.180 --> 02:47.505
I won't list all the sins, but all manner of sin.
02:48.100 --> 02:58.856
But something that I have a hard time around is cheapness, stinginess, a poverty mindset, a lack.
02:58.980 --> 03:02.205
It's such a disgusting spirit I could feel it a mile away.
03:02.700 --> 03:07.108
I disdain it and I'm like, lord, help me to love a person.
03:07.260 --> 03:13.408
But I'm having a hard time because and this has nothing to do with oh, they're cheap with me.
03:13.600 --> 03:14.464
No, can you break?
03:15.061 --> 03:18.247
No, no, no, no, no I'm talking about?
03:19.380 --> 03:21.408
I'm talking about everything they say.
03:21.560 --> 03:25.626
Their whole world view, their whole outlook, is through a lens of lack.
03:27.281 --> 03:28.566
Everything is not enough.
03:29.320 --> 03:33.946
Their world is a sad world, their world is a not enough world.
03:34.920 --> 03:38.324
Oftentimes we're affected with this demonic virus when we're children.
03:40.100 --> 03:48.902
Oftentimes it's handed to us by parents and circumstances, and so we see everything through this lens of poverty and lack.
03:52.000 --> 03:56.305
People who believe that the world is getting too populist, the world can't sustain.
03:58.180 --> 04:07.862
Before all of this population talk was popular and before we even heard of this ever-growing pop, when the world was still around five billion people in the 90s.
04:08.786 --> 04:12.828
I remember just it was either late in high school or early in college.
04:12.920 --> 04:19.924
It was just perusing the Barnes and Noble on Austin Street in Forest Hills, queens, and I came across this book.
04:20.847 --> 04:21.670
I tried to get it.
04:22.021 --> 04:25.831
I don't know the exact title, but I'm paraphrasing.
04:25.940 --> 04:51.348
It was something like, and it was in the secular section, but it was called God's abundant, beautiful green earth and it laid out the case for how our globe, our earth, could easily, effortlessly, sustain a population of 50 billion, how God put inside our planet everything that's needed for, easily, a population of 50 billion plus.
04:52.240 --> 04:53.365
God is not cheap.
04:55.420 --> 04:57.447
God is super, but people are cheap.
05:03.847 --> 05:06.810
Can somebody, somebody, get me a Bible please?
05:12.056 --> 05:12.456
Thank you.
05:18.760 --> 05:21.008
The Bible says that his cup runs over.
05:22.540 --> 05:23.886
What version is this, sweetheart?
05:24.344 --> 05:25.200
Old King James?
05:25.220 --> 05:26.586
The Old Day King James?
05:27.160 --> 05:27.984
Is this your Bible?
05:31.340 --> 05:31.923
Yeah, your Bible.
05:33.640 --> 05:34.283
And how old are you?
05:35.901 --> 05:36.504
16.
05:39.200 --> 05:46.751
I wanted thee to know that thy father is well pleased with thee daughter of God has to.
05:46.771 --> 05:47.272
What version?
05:47.520 --> 05:49.086
She said the Old Day King James.
05:50.042 --> 05:52.620
All right, we're speaking of the 90s.
05:52.922 --> 06:05.600
We're going back to the 90s where preachers had to thumb through Bibles and find the verse and I used to have almost all the stories memorized.
06:09.170 --> 06:12.139
But then Google came along and then it's kind of like driving.
06:12.200 --> 06:13.027
I used to know how to get everything.
06:13.047 --> 06:14.519
I used to know how to get everything.
06:15.246 --> 06:16.135
I used to know how to get everything.
06:16.701 --> 06:17.751
I used to know how to get everything.
06:18.800 --> 06:20.622
I used to know how to get everywhere, but not anymore.
06:31.315 --> 06:32.622
What is it First?
06:32.642 --> 06:44.400
Pastor James, could you just remind me of when the Queen of Sheba comes to visit Solomon, hallelujah, thank you, lord.
06:44.903 --> 06:53.472
So this service is already starting off completely differently than the first service.
06:53.492 --> 06:57.920
What is it?
06:57.940 --> 06:59.943
Is it Second trial?
06:59.983 --> 07:03.679
It goes nine and I'm in second Kings nine.
07:04.792 --> 07:07.240
I knew there was a nine there and a second book of something.
07:07.260 --> 07:12.444
And I knew there was a nine there and I knew there was a nine there and a second book of something.
07:13.347 --> 07:26.883
Okay, so the Queen of Sheba, really rich, wealthy queen, visits Solomon.
07:27.680 --> 07:29.186
Interesting, fun tidbit.
07:29.520 --> 07:31.266
My mom perks up because she knows what I'm gonna say.
07:32.380 --> 07:38.149
She became lifelong friends as an interpreter during the 1984 Olympic Games.
07:38.300 --> 07:52.007
She became lifelong friends with the sister of Wendell Phillips, a famous archeologist, who was the first person to provide physical evidence, found it out in Yemen, physical evidence of the Queen of Sheba's existence.
07:52.120 --> 07:55.045
And we became lifelong friends to just recently, until she passed.
07:56.140 --> 07:57.846
Just fun fact, throwing it out there.
07:57.866 --> 08:08.567
Okay, let's go to second Chronicles nine.
08:16.820 --> 08:17.462
Could you Google?
08:17.482 --> 08:19.107
There was no more spirit within her.
08:20.060 --> 08:22.345
Oh, yeah, yeah, let's start at the beginning.
08:22.500 --> 08:24.006
First, second, chronicles nine one.
08:25.360 --> 08:25.963
I have a message.
08:26.023 --> 08:44.868
By the way, if you're a guest and you're like, wow, it's kind of really chill at this church and he's just taking his time, I mean, typically I'd already be in three out of my six points Point number three, point number four but it's what the Lord wants.
08:46.080 --> 08:51.249
Also, also, it's August chill, hallelujah, hallelujah.
08:51.900 --> 08:53.306
But this is really what the Lord wants.
08:53.800 --> 09:04.082
I've been waiting on him and he's a gift giver and I found when I'm rattling off points, there's some people that are getting something, but a lot of you.
09:04.824 --> 09:10.604
You get caught up in the information and then you don't catch what the Holy Spirit himself wants to give to you.
09:12.023 --> 09:22.654
I'm just trying to assist what he's trying to give to you, and that's where the sophistication of good pasturing and preaching comes in.
09:22.760 --> 09:35.549
Something that's a lifelong journey is you got to align with what God wants, because he's just trying to get his gifts to people, and the first person who can mess that up is the pastor, the preacher, because he's got to get his points through.
09:37.140 --> 09:42.707
He's got to show how smart he is and how he studied all through the week and impress you with the Greek and the Hebrew.
09:46.649 --> 09:54.883
But just like this, in this environment, the Lord is massaging your heart and getting things to you, and I went off in a completely different way in the first service.
09:54.903 --> 10:09.432
But the second service, as soon as worship ended, it was just clear to me that we need to touch on God's massive abundance and that there's folk You're going to be hindered.
10:10.320 --> 10:16.069
You're going to be hindered in your life if you've been afflicted by that lack spirit.
10:16.160 --> 10:17.004
It's a spirit.
10:19.380 --> 10:21.025
You know who had that spirit Judas.
10:22.480 --> 10:24.783
Judas had that spirit Should not have.
10:24.863 --> 10:33.548
This costly oil from the salabaster box should not have been sold and given to the poor.
10:38.323 --> 10:39.728
What did Judas ever do for the poor?
10:41.342 --> 10:43.630
You'll notice anyone who ever talks about the poor.
10:45.342 --> 10:46.588
They never do anything for the poor.
10:49.322 --> 10:55.907
I've never met somebody who talks like that but actually helps the poor.
10:56.667 --> 10:59.066
People say I don't give to the church, they don't help the poor enough.
10:59.911 --> 11:02.827
Oh, okay, so what are you doing on the side for the poor?
11:03.490 --> 11:03.991
Well, nothing.
11:07.462 --> 11:12.900
You really have a burning passion there inside of you, huh, and people like that are never satisfied.
11:13.443 --> 11:19.030
I can say we've built over 40 churches, community centers in Guatemala, orphanage in Ethiopia.
11:20.485 --> 11:29.390
There's not much you can do for the poor here in America, by the way, except what we're doing, because it's not a some of you are gonna.
11:29.942 --> 11:35.170
When I say this, it's not an issue of money, it's an issue of mental health and inner healing.
11:36.803 --> 11:38.354
You keep throwing money at the.
11:38.495 --> 11:39.180
It's not helped so far.
11:39.642 --> 11:44.630
What makes you think more will help A lot of times.
11:44.650 --> 11:48.374
When the Bible says help the poor, it means the poor, what you think is poor.
11:48.394 --> 11:50.166
There's homeless people with cell phones.
11:53.002 --> 11:53.746
Listen, I did.
11:54.366 --> 11:55.620
I did street ministry.
11:56.044 --> 11:57.919
That's what I cut my teeth on for years.
11:58.482 --> 12:00.528
I know the ins and I've had every conversation.
12:01.584 --> 12:14.307
Even jokingly, I said I've never been in a crack house, been very close in the first service when I mentioned that New York is the only place where you'll find overweight, homeless people.
12:17.061 --> 12:25.628
So when we help poor people, we help poor people like eight people in a mud hut, poor, like don't know where the next meal is coming.
12:25.840 --> 12:29.631
Oh, little card, no government, no, nothing poor.
12:35.820 --> 12:36.322
But do you notice?
12:36.362 --> 12:40.845
Jesus' response to Judas was the poor you have with you always.
12:42.100 --> 12:54.783
There will always be until the culmination in that day and the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our God.
12:54.844 --> 13:03.127
There will be poverty, but Jesus didn't think anything of that.
13:03.528 --> 13:06.708
Oil worth a year's wages was poured out on him.
13:14.740 --> 13:16.144
Some of you with the poverty spirit will go.
13:16.164 --> 13:16.906
Stop the waste.
13:18.822 --> 13:19.656
And that's what Judas said.
13:19.737 --> 13:21.448
He said what manner of waste is this?
13:21.801 --> 13:23.720
What manner of waste?
13:24.141 --> 13:26.308
And that sweet woman was just getting wasted on Jesus.
13:32.200 --> 13:34.528
God wants to snap that lack spirit.
13:39.400 --> 13:40.444
I'm working with you.
13:40.484 --> 13:41.147
Gotta start young.
13:41.740 --> 13:43.887
I'm training my kids to have an abundance mindset.
13:44.780 --> 13:45.703
What one of the things.
13:45.844 --> 13:51.327
Now my son is gonna watch these old videos and say, dad, he knows, I love him.
13:52.260 --> 13:53.265
As you know, he's at that age.
13:53.305 --> 13:54.664
Where, say, we get ice cream?
13:55.841 --> 13:57.708
He immediately sees who has the bigger cone.
14:00.360 --> 14:01.827
Like, dad, can I have your cone?
14:02.041 --> 14:03.567
I'm like we have the same ice cream.
14:03.620 --> 14:06.380
Why do you want my cone, god?
14:06.400 --> 14:08.427
It looks like you got a half inch extra.
14:09.240 --> 14:11.508
She was heavy handed when she served your softy.
14:13.380 --> 14:14.886
I'm trying to nip that in the bud now.
14:15.840 --> 14:17.565
Let's see you finish that one, which she won't.
14:18.909 --> 14:19.711
I'll get you another one.
14:20.241 --> 14:21.847
Have you ever gone without?
14:22.740 --> 14:25.586
No, so quit eyeballing what others have.
14:26.441 --> 14:29.826
You won't go without With plenty leftover.
14:30.240 --> 14:41.106
In Chronicles it says since the people began giving offerings to the Lord, they had enough for their needs with plenty leftover, plenty leftover.
14:41.560 --> 14:46.567
God's style is plenty leftover, hallelujah, hallelujah.
14:48.640 --> 14:53.744
That's his way, that's his will, hallelujah.
14:56.600 --> 15:06.727
So the blessing of God had been activated in Solomon's life and he became very, very wealthy.
15:07.560 --> 15:13.743
You can actually calculate how much wealth and no one to this day has touched it, nowhere near.
15:14.300 --> 15:15.325
How can you calculate the wealth?
15:15.400 --> 15:15.922
It tells you.
15:16.002 --> 15:17.568
It names how many talents of gold.
15:17.900 --> 15:23.429
You can't calculate all of it because there's some things that aren't named, but already, if you calculate, the talent is 75 pounds.
15:24.440 --> 15:31.449
So it'll tell you how many talents of gold, how many talents of silver, all the other precious metals, and he's already looking in the reviewer at one trillion.
15:33.660 --> 15:39.749
So, whether it's the Rockefellers or Elon Musk or the blessing of God on Solomon.
15:41.100 --> 15:55.428
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company and camels that bear spices and gold and abundance and precious stones.
15:56.600 --> 15:59.305
And when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him.
16:01.300 --> 16:07.609
She communed with him of all that was in her heart and Solomon told her all her questions.
16:07.740 --> 16:10.569
There was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
16:11.120 --> 16:16.102
And she said you don't have the old day, king James day, so we can all know.
16:16.824 --> 16:19.431
No, what kind of a heathen church is this?
16:20.460 --> 16:23.289
You don't have God's version of the Bible on your.
16:26.760 --> 16:31.729
But you have the passion right, the passion you got, the paraphrase you got.
16:31.789 --> 16:40.845
But I don't even know who's back there.
16:40.920 --> 16:41.825
I just see a silhouette.
16:42.121 --> 16:43.005
Is it still you, hester?
16:44.960 --> 16:51.721
Oh, cassandra, okay, to me it's like a 1980s Tony the tiger commercial, where they're all you know, with the black silhouette around the.
16:51.741 --> 16:52.465
I don't see anything.
16:56.085 --> 17:35.086
All right, next verse and when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he built and the meat of his table and the sitting of his servants and the attendance of his ministers and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their apparel and his assent by which he went into the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
17:36.270 --> 17:43.624
This wealthy, wealthy, ultra-wealthy queen comes to the servant of the Lord's house.
17:44.971 --> 17:46.014
Why would she do that?
17:46.074 --> 17:51.150
Well, of course, for negotiations, proper treaties and to check him out.
17:52.813 --> 17:59.845
Let's see if it's true what I've heard, and it says there's no more spirit within her.
18:00.350 --> 18:04.220
That's Yolde, king James 8.
18:04.240 --> 18:05.163
Was that an important?
18:05.484 --> 18:07.068
Okay, we'll save it.
18:07.088 --> 18:15.074
I don't know if it's something you got on the floor when the Lord was working on you two years ago and you took a little piece of lint as memory with.
18:15.555 --> 18:17.017
Pastor James has got you covered.
18:22.105 --> 18:42.232
She's looking at him, checking him out, and she goes huh, your house, your cupbearers, your servants, your apparel, their apparel, your whole kingdom.
18:44.796 --> 18:45.698
And she faints.
18:47.121 --> 18:47.461
That's what.
18:47.521 --> 18:49.265
No more spirit within her means.
18:50.210 --> 18:52.236
In the Yolde King James 8, no more spirit.
18:52.256 --> 18:53.640
You look at a lot of other versions.
18:54.050 --> 19:02.625
It says that she faints, she can't take, she's overwhelmed by how much God has blessed him.
19:04.533 --> 19:07.758
That is God's way, that is God's style.
19:07.938 --> 19:12.846
Even Psalm 23, which religion made a funeral Psalm.
19:14.070 --> 19:15.033
That's what religion is.
19:15.113 --> 19:16.716
Religion is a giant funeral.
19:17.338 --> 19:19.323
Everything is sad and depressing.
19:19.650 --> 19:31.367
The most beautiful Psalm, psalm 23, is a prosperity and abundant Psalm, and religion comes in and they put some dead head and a dog collar, always on TV standing Dearly beloved.
19:31.608 --> 19:32.751
We're gathered here today.
19:33.172 --> 19:34.616
Let's turn to Psalm 23.
19:34.957 --> 19:42.192
Yeah, though I walk through the back, what it's talking about?
19:42.813 --> 19:47.062
Your head being anointed with oil coming by, still waters.
19:47.302 --> 19:48.551
He's the Lord, my shepherd.
19:48.832 --> 19:57.616
He leads me not to a bunch of tumble, dried out weeds, fresh, tender, juicy green pastures, and then he causes my cup to overflow.
19:58.278 --> 20:04.675
We don't realize what a precious commodity water is With this new house.
20:05.097 --> 20:07.387
It's all the faucets that hit me just the other day.
20:07.407 --> 20:08.994
I thought this is so lovely.
20:09.034 --> 20:20.419
You can't forget like I want water, I hit a switch and because the pressure in the house is so good I love good water pressure and the shower I don't want to do a lot of work, I want the water to blast the dirt right off of me.
20:22.065 --> 20:24.252
It must have been from all those years in county.
20:27.198 --> 20:28.621
I appreciate you getting that, brian.
20:28.641 --> 20:32.128
Very few else did so.
20:32.168 --> 20:34.513
Water is so precious and here's my water cup.
20:34.613 --> 20:35.636
It overflows.
20:36.037 --> 20:37.079
Do you know what a poverty?
20:37.159 --> 20:39.371
Judas mindset calls that Waste?
20:42.539 --> 20:43.922
And God says this is my way.
20:44.303 --> 20:47.170
I don't run out, I have abundance.
20:51.261 --> 20:52.926
Was it this service or the first service?
20:53.086 --> 20:54.470
Because both services have been different.
20:54.550 --> 21:13.282
Even last week I mentioned that when Nathan busted David, nathan the prophet, when he busted David after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba, nathan lists everything that God gave to David you got lands, you got the crown, you got a palace.
21:13.543 --> 21:24.405
And then he says if that had not been enough, god would have given you much, much more, too muches, because he's a too much God, much, much more.
21:27.310 --> 21:31.762
You know that battering ram in medieval day, that's what I'm using right now on some of you.
21:32.691 --> 21:36.650
I'm coming against that cemented part of your psyche.
21:39.916 --> 21:53.120
It's been cemented over by religion, by your own gnarly experiences that have warped you and shaped you where you're in a defensive position and you just got your grabby.
21:53.161 --> 22:01.730
You just see the world as cold, filled with lack, and you just got to get yours and eke out in existence.
22:03.833 --> 22:06.898
I rebuke that mindset in Jesus' name.
22:08.961 --> 22:10.483
God is a God of abundance.
22:11.525 --> 22:11.945
Goodness.
22:16.810 --> 22:23.144
Jesus said fear, not little flock In some versions, fear not little children.
22:24.051 --> 22:26.942
It's your father's good pleasure to give to you the kingdom.
22:27.685 --> 22:30.433
It's your father's good pleasure to give to you good gifts.
