00:19:46.664 --> 00:19:48.119 The workers don't have any work to do. 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.119 They get the starve to death. 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:58.703 In Cuba, you know, they passed, I hear, a few years ago they passed out a bunch of rice cookers. 00:19:58.703 --> 00:20:09.496 Can you imagine Only Castro would think of that To pass out a bunch of rice cookers that you plug into a wall where the electricity doesn't work most of the time, you know? 00:20:09.496 --> 00:20:12.440 Oh hey, they've got electricity plug in the rice cooker. 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:18.823 Oh, we don't have any rice, sorry, this rice cooker's heating up our little hut. 00:20:18.823 --> 00:20:20.520 We need to unplug that thing. 00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:24.359 No air conditioning, you know it gets hot in Cuba. 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.560 Now that's what communism does. 00:20:30.375 --> 00:20:38.221 So God drew the boundaries for Joshua, told him exactly what was his and he empowered him to possess the land, and that's our inheritance. 00:20:38.221 --> 00:20:46.903 He's saying it's time to put your foot down and walk and take your rightful authority. 00:20:46.903 --> 00:20:58.463 Being on Facebook now, I just see the big lack across the country In any revelation of the Word of faith and especially the authority of the believer. 00:20:58.463 --> 00:21:04.403 We preached recently about the believer's authority and this is kind of another message on that subject. 00:21:04.403 --> 00:21:05.286 You know, there's a mountain. 00:21:05.286 --> 00:21:07.061 There's a lot of ways you can climb the mountain. 00:21:07.061 --> 00:21:09.201 You can get to the top a lot of different ways. 00:21:09.201 --> 00:21:11.398 So this is just another. 00:21:11.398 --> 00:21:15.079 We're gonna climb to the top of this mountain about our authority today. 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:17.940 Little different way, a little different method. 00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:20.066 Put your foot down. 00:21:20.066 --> 00:21:21.480 Everybody say I'm putting my foot down. 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.664 And so this message has got three steps. 00:21:26.664 --> 00:21:29.861 It's talking about taking steps. 00:21:29.861 --> 00:21:33.220 Everybody say I'm taking steps. 00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:35.394 It's in three areas. 00:21:35.394 --> 00:21:37.663 First one take steps to know what's yours. 00:21:37.663 --> 00:21:41.009 Take steps to know what your. 00:21:41.029 --> 00:21:45.122 So many people don't read their Bible enough to even know what belongs to them. 00:21:45.122 --> 00:21:47.980 Everywhere you say in whom?

00:22:35.819 --> 00:22:41.402 Name it and claim it guys, grab it and blab it guys. 00:22:41.402 --> 00:22:44.622 You better watch out, because God's one of them. 00:22:44.622 --> 00:22:49.844 You better watch out what you're saying, buddy. 00:22:49.844 --> 00:22:52.336 But I don't ever answer them, you know. 00:22:52.336 --> 00:22:52.958 I just let them. 00:22:52.958 --> 00:22:57.877 You know, I let them talk and nine times out of 10, some of our people. 00:22:57.877 --> 00:23:10.096 Get on there and court, you know, in front of them, whatever cracks your tractor I mean, I don't whatever but take steps to know what's yours, you know. 00:23:10.115 --> 00:23:11.681 In Genesis 13, 17,. 00:23:11.681 --> 00:23:20.759 God appeared to Abraham and said look, walk up and down this land, walk up the length and the breadth of it, everywhere, everywhere. 00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:24.582 I'm going to give it to you, this is yours and your descendants forever. 00:23:24.582 --> 00:23:38.025 He described it all the way back to Abraham and by the time Joshua got along, it was time for them to actually possess that land. 00:23:38.025 --> 00:23:40.500 Why did it take so long? 00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:56.051 Because God had to wait for sin to fill a cup in Egypt to let them go, and for sin to fill a cup in Canaan land for God to say okay, these people, the land is vomiting them out. 00:23:56.051 --> 00:24:02.295 Why did the Canaanites get vomited out and Jewish people marched in and took over? 00:24:02.295 --> 00:24:03.087 Why was that? 00:24:03.087 --> 00:24:12.672 Well, when you start studying it, it's because they killed their children, they murdered their babies, they worshiped other gods. 00:24:12.672 --> 00:24:16.363 You just boil it down to that. 00:24:16.363 --> 00:24:18.432 You just boil it down to those two things. 00:24:18.432 --> 00:24:20.672 And that caused the land. 00:24:20.672 --> 00:24:21.445 You know. 00:24:21.465 --> 00:24:24.946 You could say the same thing about any nation, you know. 00:24:24.946 --> 00:24:25.951 Oh, you invaded you. 00:24:25.951 --> 00:24:28.933 Now, nothing could happen unless God sanctioned it. 00:24:28.933 --> 00:24:39.534 And every time that people illegally and for no reason and not sanctioned by the Lord invade and take over, they're judged. 00:24:39.534 --> 00:24:44.724 I said they're judged and they're not. 00:24:44.724 --> 00:24:56.813 So right now there's an invasion going on in our country and they're being invited in by corrupt leadership and they're being told they're gonna be paid a $400,000 and all this kind of thing. 00:24:56.813 --> 00:25:00.932 If I'm sitting in El Salvador, do you think I'm gonna sit there very much longer? 00:25:00.932 --> 00:25:07.231 No, I'm gonna make my way to the American border just on the idea that maybe somehow I'll get $400,000 out of the deal. 00:25:07.231 --> 00:25:16.394 Hello, these people are working actively to destroy what God's idea was about this nation. 00:25:16.394 --> 00:25:22.711 All right, I'll get off of that, but this is our inheritance, part of it. 00:25:22.711 --> 00:25:32.612 This great nation founded on the idea of spreading the gospel and no nation ever has done that better than we have. 00:25:32.612 --> 00:25:34.871 And even still right now. 00:25:35.884 --> 00:25:38.009 You just don't read about it, you don't hear about it much. 00:25:38.009 --> 00:25:44.174 In Genesis 2.15, god told Adam. 00:25:44.174 --> 00:25:47.053 He said, to dress and keep the garden. 00:25:47.053 --> 00:25:50.049 Dress it and keep it. 00:25:50.049 --> 00:25:51.205 Why?

00:27:56.633 --> 00:27:57.869 I didn't see it. 00:27:57.869 --> 00:28:04.814 They didn't sit next to me, I didn't hear them Criticized, I didn't hear them say anything, but you did. 00:28:04.814 --> 00:28:13.910 So you can kindly, sweetly, you know, without pride, and just say a little darling, it's time to get in or out. 00:28:13.910 --> 00:28:15.068 You don't like it. 00:28:15.068 --> 00:28:16.249 There are six exits. 00:28:16.249 --> 00:28:22.048 Don't murmur, don't complain. 00:28:22.048 --> 00:28:26.057 All right, amen. 00:28:28.871 --> 00:28:31.336 So if there's something going on in your marriage, kick it. 00:28:31.336 --> 00:28:38.828 If something's attacking your spouse, something attacking your business, you've got authority. 00:28:38.828 --> 00:28:43.551 Tread on that thing, step on it with the word of God. 00:28:43.551 --> 00:28:44.848 Are y'all with me now? 00:28:44.848 --> 00:28:49.273 I know this is so simple, but a lot of times we just go to sleep. 00:28:49.273 --> 00:28:52.869 There's so many things happening all at once in our society that we live in. 00:28:52.869 --> 00:28:56.232 It's a superheated society. 00:28:56.232 --> 00:29:00.454 People have gotten adept and expect to multitask. 00:29:00.454 --> 00:29:04.635 But I don't believe multitasking is profitable in all cases. 00:29:04.635 --> 00:29:10.996 I think sometimes it can cause people a lot of unneeded stress and aggravation. 00:29:12.565 --> 00:29:17.173 Here you are trying to pay attention to one thing, and here's another thing coming in on the side. 00:29:17.173 --> 00:29:18.736 You've got to quickly go over here. 00:29:18.736 --> 00:29:20.412 And then you've got to quickly go over here. 00:29:20.412 --> 00:29:31.616 You do that all day, eight or 10, 12 hours at work and come home, and then you talk about multitasking when you've got kids, and so forth and so on. 00:29:31.616 --> 00:29:33.248 Are you with me now?
