I'm so glad that you've taken some time to tune in. It's going to be a phenomenal show. Today. You are going to be so blessed because I'm telling you what. This is an ancient mystery that you're about to hear about.

Speaker 1:But I am so glad that you have tuned in because today is going to be such a blessing to you. It's something that God's been putting in my spirit that I believe is really going to speak to your heart and to your life, so I want you to share this because I believe it's going to bless a lot of people. And listen, there are things happening in the world today that God wants you to be up to date on. Did you hear what I said? Up to date on of what is happening in the world? And so listen, what I want to talk to you all about today, just for a few moments, is the law of honor. The law of honor. We are in a season, ladies and gentlemen, where God is turning the hearts of the fathers back to the children, children back to the father.
Speaker 1:Now, listen, I got a little drink here before I go any further. This is phenomenal. This is Mason Perrier. I tell you what this is a phenomenal drink. I'm going to take a quick swig right now, outstanding If you've never gotten it, get yourself some of this. It'll bless you, especially if you're a person that likes soda pop and drinking Pepsis and Coke Zeros. That gives you all the fizz you can possibly imagine and guess what? You don't even have to have any of the sugar, calories or carbs or anything along that line.
Speaker 1:Speaking of that, ladies and gentlemen, I'm on a mission right now. Something big is coming up for me. I'm on a mission right now. Something big is coming up for me. I'm going to be on television every single day, coming up very soon, and Monday through Friday. So I'm really excited about that, and I'll talk to a little bit more about that later on. So I'm in the process right now.
Speaker 1:I need to lose some weight. So I'm in the process of getting my weight down and getting myself to where I need to be and trying to bring sexy back. Come on somebody my wife, obviously, for her number one first and foremost, but I want to look good when I'm doing television and everything else, so I don't want to be looking all wilder than all outside. So that's why drinking these Perrier's will help you out a lot, because you can still get all that fizz and all those types of things and not be worried about all the things that come along with the sugars and calories and all that stuff. So, anyways, just want to parenthetically insert that, and I wanted to mention this to you because I believe that we're in a season we're in a day and an hour right now that God is doing what he said in Malachi, chapter four, in verse number seven. Listen, I'm telling you you need to make sure you send this to somebody. These things here are ancient mysteries that have been lost in the body of Christ.
Speaker 1:We don't honor anymore and we've forgotten that honor is the way to the anointing. Honor is the way to impartation. Going to church, ladies and gentlemen, does not mean that you are going to get an impartation and get an anointing. What determines the first thing in order to walk in honor? You'll never walk in honor that you do not have a revelation of uniqueness. Oh, my good God, that's a great, great place to type in. See many of you right now.
Speaker 1:You are looking to go to the next level, but you don't understand how to get there and one of the things you have to do is you have to recognize the uniqueness. You have to recognize the special call anointing purpose upon a man or a woman. They don't even have to be saved for you to recognize. They have something that you want, and so the first thing that's to happen in the law, they have something that you want, and so the first thing that's to happen in the law of honor is that you have to recognize something unique, something genuine, something special inside of another person. So, even right now, I just want you to pray, say Lord, open my eyes that I will never miss an anointing upon any person I'm in contact with. Listen, they don't have to be spiritual authority. It can be a person on your level. It can be a person on a lower level, a lower level than you not lower level, but lower level than you are. It could be anywhere. All you have to do is be able to recognize the uniqueness.
Speaker 1:Now watch them. In the kingdom of God, wherever there is honor, there has to be an exchange, my God, when you recognize what's inside somebody else, and then you begin to serve that and you begin to recognize that and you begin to honor that. It is a kingdom law that when you recognize it, it will be poured back into you. Now I want you to catch that, because that's important, and I'm saying that to start off, but I want you to see this in Malachi 4. Isn't it amazing, right before, in the time of transition. Now, watch this In a time of transition which we are, ladies and gentlemen, time of transition which we are, ladies and gentlemen, we are in a season of transition, we are in a transitional season Watch this when transactions must be made. Oh, that's so good. Right there. We're in a transitional season where transactions must be made, season where transactions must be made. I need to catch this because we're in a time I shared this before a little bit about President Joe Biden, and the Lord spoke something very profound to me that he's in what's called the Hezekiah years, and what do I mean by that?
Speaker 1:You know, when Hezekiah got it called him, said listen, your time is up. I'm calling you home to be with your fathers. Mean that he was going to die, and I'm not saying that the people that are in the season are going to die. It's symbolic of a season change. He said put your house in order, it's time to make a transition. And he didn't do that. He said God, give me 10 more years. And he stayed in office longer than he should have and, as a result, the Bible says he became more wicked than ever before, gave birth to Manasseh, who was one of the most wicked kings ever in all of Israel. I mean, you take a look at all these things that happened If he would have just went when God called him to go. There's something about leaving a season when God calls you to go. That's why the Bible says the sons of Issachar understood the times and seasons, what they ought to do.
Speaker 1:One of the reasons why people tune into Dimensions, I believe, is because they want to hear prophetically what God is saying, and I believe President Biden being in office is a sign that there are still people in offices that need to be transitioning and that are not, and sometimes what they do is they leave it worse than they found it because they failed to identify the time they needed to get out of office and they needed to begin to transition. There are pastors, there are preachers, there are business leaders, there are people in political offices all in positions right now that need to be transitioning but are holding onto the baton longer than they should, and the reason why I'm saying this whenever. Watch this. Whenever you are in a season of transition, it's a time of transactions, and wisdom knows what transactions should be made when God is shifting you. Now watch this. Whenever God is getting ready to change your season and God brings a new anointing upon your life, there will always be relationships that God either redefines or introduces into your life. So sometimes God will reintroduce and redefine, or sometimes he'll introduce it for the first time, those relationships, and when that happens, god will allow you to see something in somebody that you are called to inherit. Now watch this.
Speaker 1:It says here in Malachi, chapter four, verse number five and six, and I need you to catch this. This is important because we're in a time of transition, but this is a time also transactions. What do I mean by that? Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. So that means there's a day coming. Look at this. I'll send you Elijah. Wow, thank you, holy Ghost. Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. So before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, elijah will come Now, remember, elijah was one of the greatest transitional prophets that you will ever see in the scripture.
Speaker 1:He understood the importance of impartation, he understood the importance of delegation, he understood the importance of discipleship, he understood the importance of mentorship, which is I'm telling you in times like this listen, there's a great and dreadful day coming. He says behold, I'll send you Elijah, the prophet before the coming of that great and dreadful day of the Lord. Look at this verse six. Now, this is powerful. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse. Now watch this. If you do not identify the fathers in your life, the anointings in your life in a season of transition, instead of the blessing propel you. The curse will come.
Speaker 1:A reason why Elijah came and turned the hearts of the fathers to the children of the fathers is he's one of the few in the scriptures that really understood the mentorship, the passing of the baton, the transactions that need to happen during the transitional seasons, and he's the one that told Elisha Elisha, if you see me when I'm taken up, you'll receive a double portion. Now, the first thing you'll never ask for a double portion from somebody that you don't recognize their value or their greatness, and so a lot of times, people don't get a double portion because they just feel they just want to be close to that person, but proximity does not mean that you have discernment of value. Now I need you to stay with me for a minute, because this is going to be really powerful. This is where the law of honor comes in. You'll never honor where there's no value, and so if you understand value, then you will understand honor, because you're and let me say this you'll honor it, but you may not know how to get it if you understand the law of honor. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Elisha recognized Elijah's anointing, and so Elisha goes to him, and the Bible says that he was known as the one that poured hands and poured water on the hands of Elijah. Elisha, who was the mentee, he was the disciple poured waters on the hands of Elijah, who was the prophet carrying the mantle. The greatest thing. You need to pray, lord, help me to see the value of the people you've placed in my life and what I can receive from them. This is the reason why Watch this.
Speaker 1:The law of honor is not just about one man or one woman, or the man of God or the woman of God. Don't get me, don't get it twisted, don't get me wrong. That's important, but listen, we can get something from every person. Every person has a blessing on their life that maybe you don't have. Every person has an anointing on their life that you don't have. And so if we begin to serve and value and honor one another and invest into that, watch this the law of honor, the law of seed, time and harvest, the law of returns, says if I invest into where I honor, it will bless me back. Do you understand that when you begin to sow into a place that you honor, you don't have to ask for it. It will automatically be brought to you. Honor causes certain things to be attracted to you. Dishonor causes things to run from you. Oh, my good God. So notice this here. I want to go back to it.
Speaker 1:In Malachi 4 again, he says I'm going to send you Elijah, the prophet, before the coming great and dreadful day of the Lord. So that means there's a Kairos moment. There's two different types of moments. First of all, there's an appearing of Elijah. That comes why? Because it's a time of mentorship, it's a time of training, it's a time of development. So you get that in your life because there's a great and dreadful day and you're going to need that anointing to destroy whatever that great and dreadful day is. So, therefore, what you have to understand in that season, elijah said I'll turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, the children to the father. When we are in a transitional season, there are transactions between the father and the children that need to take place.
Speaker 1:I was just talking with somebody recently on air. We had the honor of interviewing Lindsay Roberts, the daughter-in-law of the late great Oral Roberts, the husband of Richard Roberts. My goodness, and I just was sitting listening to her talk, sharing her stories, and it was this transaction that was being made. See, you need to understand. Say Lord, open my eyes that I recognize greatness when I'm around it. Now, watch this. Don't think that the only greatness Now I want you to catch this Don't think that the only greatness is a person that has a huge ministry or a huge platform, and not that they don't have greatness. But listen, there's greatness inside of every person and you can reap from every person in your life. And if you can honor and see what greatness is when you can identify what is in them.
Speaker 1:My good God, even Jesus could recognize things inside of people. Jesus recognized inside of Peter. He said your name will no longer be called Simon, but thy name shall be called Peter. Jesus recognized great faith. Jesus recognized things that were inside of people that he was bewildered by. He was like wow, there's something in them that's very precious and valuable. Come on somebody. And that's why sometimes, even if you have a mentor that does not recognize your value at the time, it's not because they haven't seen anything. They're looking for you to tap into something that is unfamiliar. They're looking for you to tap into something that's deeper, that's greater, and even though what you have might be great, but a lot of times there's something even greater within you and it causes you to have to dig in order to get to that valuable stuff.
Speaker 1:Are you with me? So honor is meant to be amongst all people. That's why we're called to serve all men. Why? Because you serve where you see great. I hope, I hope. I hope you catch this Lord. Help us to have the grace to be able to recognize greatness when it's around us, not just men and women of God, not just a person, and when I say men and women of God, I mean a pastor, apostle, prophet, evangelist, teacher, all those types of things I'm talking about, even the person that's cleaning the bathroom. What's the great can you receive from them? We serve all men because we can receive from all men. We see the value. God give us discernment that we recognize the greatness inside of every person. Father, may no anointing go by us that we don't recognize its uniqueness and choose to serve and to honor it. That's a prayer that you need to pray each and every day. Let no anointing walk by my life that I do not recognize honor and value. We are in a time of transition, which means it's a time of transactions, why there are mantles being passed.
Speaker 1:And while we were interviewing the great Lindsay Roberts, I sat there like a child, just completely mesmerized by her stories, and I was talking to Pastor Amy Schaefer, who I had the privilege of hosting the show with, and I said right in between the break, I said, man, I said we need more opportunities where we sit down and listen to the great generals of the faith and hear what they're sharing. Just their stories will bring an impartation to you. Listen to me when I tell you this. It is crucial, it is paramount. It is so important that you begin to recognize greatness around you and sit at its feet and receive a transaction. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 1:We take a look at the story. I believe it is in Luke, chapter 10. I believe it is, I want to say, and it's a story of Mary and Martha and how Martha was working, working, working, but Mary sat at the feet of Jesus and Jesus says to her, because Martha was complaining, because Mary wasn't helping her serve, and she said listen, mary has chosen the most important thing, which was to sit at his feet. It doesn't mean there's not a time to serve, but there's also a time to sit at the general's feet and to sit at those that have something to offer you that God allows your eyes to come open. See, when heaven opens your eyes to the things that are great inside somebody else, it releases the law of honor. God allows you to see that gift so you could serve that gift. So then, therefore, you could be under that gift and get an impartation.
Speaker 1:There are many people trying to move out of season. I believe that we're in a season, even right now that God is realigning people back into position, because there are anointings and there is wisdom and there is giftings and there are things inside of others that you need to be able to receive. But if you are not in position, you can't recognize the gifting. And if you recognize the gift, you have to go and serve the gift. Come on, somebody You've got to plant inside the gift. You have to go and serve the gift. Come on, somebody You've got to plant inside the gift. You have to invest to that gift and the law of honor means that you will be blessed by the spirit of the Lord as a result. So I need you to catch that.
Speaker 1:I want to go somewhere else here. This is very, very powerful. I want to see if I can find it. I didn't plan on going here, but I want to go here because I believe it'll really be a blessing to you and I want you to see this. Let's see here, see if I can find it, because there's a revelation of let's see here Abraham and Melchizedek that I want to share with you. And if I don't find it here, I will get back with you later on. But you can look it up yourself as well. And let's see here. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I think I found it here, let's see here. Let me look here. I'll have to look it up.
Speaker 1:But Genesis, chapter 14, then, also in the book of Hebrews, the Bible talks about how Abraham had blessed Melchizedek and planted in him. The Bible says that the lesser was blessed by the greater. Now, watch this. You will never, ever get to the law of honor if you can't recognize where you're less and someone else is great. My good God, almighty, the lesser is blessed by the greater. Now, watch this. This, this, watch this I want you to get. This is not an insecurity. This is a recognition of honor and value. My good God, when you can recognize somebody else is greater than you are, that is powerful. Oh, my good God. Let me look here.
Speaker 1:Hebrews, chapter seven. Let's go there. I wanted to look that up real quick because I want you to catch this. This is very, very important, and if you don't catch this, you're not going to catch anything, and this is important. Now look at this here. This is very, very important, and if you don't catch this, you're not going to catch anything, and this is important. Now look at this here. This is the story Hebrews, chapter 7. Let's start. We're on here. I want to read this a little bit to you because the word of God is so important to me.
Speaker 1:For this, melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him. See. See, if you want the blessing, I'm showing you how to get it in your life tomb. Also, gay abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated king of righteousness and then king of salem, meaning king of peace. He didn't have a father or mother, without genealogy, having either beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the son of god, remains a priest continually.
Speaker 1:Now, consider, now, consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave. Now, look at this. Consider how great that's important, how great this man was. The patriarch Abraham, as blessed as he was, gave him a tenth. Now, one of the things that's important to recognize you'll never get a blessing where you don't invest and where you don't sow, if you don't sow into it. If you don't sow into greatness, you don't sow into anointings. You don't sow into men and women of God. You don't sow into those that are great, you'll never, ever walk in the fullness of the blessing.
Speaker 1:I'm about to show you why the Bible said look how great this man must have been. If Abraham, as great as he was, recognize there was somebody greater than him. And indeed, those who are the sons of Levi, who received the priesthood, have a command to receive tithes from the people, according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham. But he whose genealogy is not derived from let me go back here he whose genealogy is not derived from them, receives tithes from Abraham, blessed now, and blessed him who had the promise. Look at this again. But he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes. Speaking of Melchizedek, received tithes from Abraham and blessed him, who had the promises.
Speaker 1:Now, beyond all contradiction, look at this. Watch this Now, beyond all contradiction, look at this. Watch this. The lesser is blessed by the better or the greater. Now, watch this. This is so important. Now. I need you to catch this here for a minute, because this here is going to truly change your life. I'm telling you this right now God is gonna bless you, and the lesser is blessed of the better or the greater. Now, watch this In order to operate in the law of honor, there has to be a revelation.
Speaker 1:Now watch, there first has to be a security that you identify and understand. First of all, I have great things on my life, but there are tons of people around me that are better than I. Am All right. The second thing that's happened. You have to be secure enough to recognize. It's okay to admit that somebody is better than you, my good God. There are areas that you will be better than others, and then there are others that are better than you.
Speaker 1:And you say why is that important? Because the law of honor cannot exist where you do not recognize somebody is greater than where you are. If you listen, I'm not talking about that. Every person has. You have to compare yourself to people. What I'm saying? When you recognize there's something in somebody else that you want, there's somebody that has something.
Speaker 1:Because, listen, the Bible says without contradiction the lesser is blessed of the better or the greater. The lesser is always blessed, but see, that's not in comparison. In the world's eyes it's. You won't be blessed unless you recognized greatness first. If you want greatness to bless you, you have to recognize it, my good God, almighty. You have to recognize the spiritual principle without contradiction the lesser is blessed by the greater. Well, how do I determine what's greater? That is where you have to pray. That's why I said pray the greater. Well, how do I determine what's greater? That is where you have to pray. That's why I said pray the prayer, god.
Speaker 1:Open my eyes that I recognize greatness when I see it, that nobody walks by my life, that I do not see what God has placed upon them. Because if I honor what is in them, the law of honor says when I honor something, I attract whatever I honor. Woo, jesus, my good God, some of you right now. God has brought people into your life that have the greater. It doesn't mean you're less than them as a human. It means God has allowed you to be in proximity of something that is great, and the law of honor means if you honor it, you attract what you give value to Jesus. Help me, god.
Speaker 1:Open our eyes that we can recognize greatness when it's in front of us, because you'll never attract what you don't value. And the law of honor says you attract whatever you value. My God, how many things of value could be walking by you each day, but you failed to discern it. So, as a result, you can't honor. And if you can't honor, you can't attract, because you only attract what you honor.
Speaker 1:That's why the Bible says the power of life and death is in your tongue. Why, what happens is this? Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speak it and it shows what I declare, shows what I honor, what I speak, declares what I honor, what I proclaim, shows in my heart what I honor. Are you hearing what I'm saying? So, therefore, the power of life and death is in my tongue because my words reveal what I honor. You will never be blessed by an anointing you criticize. Are y'all hearing what I'm saying? If you criticize, if you downplay, if you speak against, that anointing will never, ever honor your life. My God, you take a look even at Joseph's life. When Joseph went through everything that he went through, his brothers never reaped the blessing until they honored him with their lips. Why? Because your mouth proves what your heart honors and values, out of the abundance of the heart, out of the abundance of the value of your heart. That's what the Bible says to guard your heart while out of it flows.
Speaker 1:Therefore, what I honor will first start with my lips. It doesn't mean you can't honor with your lips and your heart before, but it's going to start with that. It's very, very important. Unless a person is being deceptive which can happen a person will begin to honor with their lips. They'll begin to speak.
Speaker 1:When Jesus asked Peter watch this, who do men say that I am? He said Jeremiah Elias, one of the prophets. But he said who do you say that I am? Thou art the Christ, son of the living God. And what had happened? When he spoke? Honor, because he recognized the value in Jesus. Jesus spoke back to him. How does the blessing come? The blessing comes by speaking. So therefore, when I honor and I begin to speak and I begin to serve, the blessing is now spoken back into my life, because whenever God wants to do anything, he begins to speak. Are you all hearing what I'm saying? So it is paramount that we recognize the value and when we see greater, we need to serve it, we need to honor it, we need to be close to it.
Speaker 1:Watch this, don't allow proximity, watch this to stop you or to rob you of an opportunity to be able to serve. You don't even have to be close to the man or woman of God. You can just serve their house. You can serve them. You can do whatever you need to do. You can serve them from afar. They may not even know you. But watch this Don't allow proximity to stop you and when you see things that may be in the flesh, that causes you or to be offended. Why? Because sometimes the devil will plant a fence and try to get, watch this, to get you to discredit the mantle by discrediting the man. Now watch, hear me. Now hear me. Now. I'm showing you something. Why? We're in a time of transition, which means transaction. So they have to remember the devil if he can get the curse in your life, if he can rob you of seeing the value of somebody that God has put in your life and you allow their humanity to rob them of God's divinity on their life.
Speaker 1:We have this treasure. Look at this treasure. You dig for treasures underground, you recognize it and you begin to dig. We have this treasure in what Earthen vessels? Which means there are treasures hidden in humanity. My good God, almighty, there are treasures that are hidden in humanity. God allows us, by discernment and revelation, to recognize the treasures in humanity. My God, are y'all hearing what I'm saying? But it's hidden in dirt. Come on somebody, it's hidden in dirt houses, it's hidden in carnality, it's hidden in and when I say hidden in carnality, we are all still battling with this flesh and carnal.
Speaker 1:So if you get close enough to the treasure, you're probably going to see the dirt. You're going to have to dig through the dirt to get to the treasure. My good God, almighty, somebody needs to catch this right now, because don't allow the proximity of that man or woman, because they have some dirt, because you've got some dirt on them to rob you of the treasure. There are no treasures not hidden in dirt. My good God, almighty, what a powerful revelation this is. Thank you, holy Ghost. And so what happens? You get close enough, you recognize that there's a treasure, but then you start digging in the dirt and also now, oh, I can't receive. No, no, no, no. All treasures are hidden in dirt. Why? Because it shows are you willing to go through the dirt in order to get to the treasure? Come on somebody. Sometimes you got to remove the trash to get to the treasure.
Speaker 1:It's okay these treasures we have hidden in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. Don't look to any man or woman that they are. God Just recognize there are treasures in earthen vessels and you got to recognize. That's why, even with all the different pastors that are falling, I've been telling people listen, we still honor those men, we still honor those women. Why, the treasures are in dirt houses. You get close enough. The closer you get to the treasure, the more dirt you're going to have to dig through.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say that again, but watch this. The purpose behind the dirt is to show that you valid enough to dig for it and the devil wants you to be deceived and get offended or become mightier than thou or become holier than thou and fail to recognize that God puts treasures in frail people. My good God, I hope y'all are catching this. God puts treasures in frail people. Why? First of all, because anything he gives you, you got a treasure and you in frail people. Why, first of all, because anything he gives you, you got a treasure and you're frail, you've got dirt, you've got your stuff. And what happens? Watch this.
Speaker 1:We show ourselves disqualified and unworthy because we dishonor the treasure, because we have come in contact with the dirt. You're going to see dirt upon any man or woman of God. Recognize the gift and serve the man and the gift regardless. Why? Because if we dig deep enough in you, we're going to find some dirt too, and we dishonor the gift and the man or woman that God put it in because we do not recognize. And that means there's a lack of revelation of our own frailty.
Speaker 1:Whenever listen to me, whenever we get offended by somebody else's dirt, there's something that we are. There are principles we are missing One either. It's one that we have not seen our own dirt and we fail to recognize. So we disqualify them, saying I can't receive from them because they're this, that and a third so there's an element of self-righteousness which means you disqualify yourself from the anointing, because God always anoints treasures in earthen vessels, in dirt houses. That's very important that we understand that our own self-righteousness sometimes need to be dealt with. Number two, the other thing we have to realize just because they have a treasure watch, this doesn't mean they don't got dirt, come on. And that doesn't mean the treasure makes them God. The treasure does not. These treasures are in earthen vessels. That the excellency of the power may be of God.
Speaker 1:Men of God, women of God, don't get tripped up. Serve the mantle, serve the man or woman in the mantle. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Understanding the law of honor, and whatever you honor, which means you show value to and you honor it, you attract what you honor, you repel what you dishonor. My good God, pastor, jay, why are you sharing all this?
Speaker 1:Because God said this year, 2024, is the year of the open door. Whenever God opens a new door for you, he will send new relationships. There are mentorships that come into your life. There are people that have treasures in them, but they are in earthen vessels. You ain't arrived, neither have they. But if God allows you to see the greatness in them, the devil's going to allow you to see the weakness in them. But you have to realize we all have weaknesses.
Speaker 1:But I'm going to keep on serving the mantle. I'm going to keep on serving the man and when the time is right, like Elijah told Elisha, if you see me when I ascend, when oh Jesus, help me when men and women of God thank you, holy Ghost when men and women of God are elevated into a place of honor, not deity, a place of honor. When Elijah went up, watch this and Elisha saw it the mantle fell. You will never receive a mantle. You don't elevate.
Speaker 1:The hard part about this. Watch this God elevates men and women with mantles. That does not make them deity. It means that they are supposed to be serving the lesser. Are y'all hearing what I'm saying? With the mantle? And so the reason why we serve for mantles, so we practice serving that when God elevates our life, we are just no more doing than what we've been doing, which is serving broken, frail people. My God, this is so powerful. So watch this.
Speaker 1:God allows you, while you're training, to witness frailty, treasures in earthen vessels. Why? Because when you get elevated, you are going to be serving again people that are frail. It never stops. But we miss the revelation. And so we understand what we do is we keep serving the people that are beneath us, even though they're frail and broken. Why? We recognize our own frailty, we recognize our own brokenness, we recognize we're still in a dirt house, but we have a treasure in it. Well, so do they. So we serve them.
Speaker 1:And if you're looking up, then you recognize oh my gosh, god has allowed me. Well, listen, we don't elevate the man or the woman. We elevate the gift. But the man or the woman and the gift are together. So we don't elevate them because we do, but we don't in our mind, thinking that they are deity. We honor the gift that is in them.
Speaker 1:When Elijah, when they were walking hand in hand, face to face, nothing happened. When he looked up and said my father, my father, the mantle fell. My God, lord, give us grace to recognize our fathers in this season. Now watch this. I want you to catch this. It says that, as it is to see great men, I was watching, I'm watching the Olympics. Now watch this. Watch this. I believe this is prophetic. Lebron James most likely will not be. He will not be the leader in four years. He will not be. He won't be able to sustain that. But there will be somebody that will honor him and serve him and then he will. That that which is it's on him will fall down to the next person. There will be a transition.
Speaker 1:It happened back. I believe it was in 91. I believe it was when they had the first dream team and it talks about how there was magic and Larry lit magic, johnson, larry Burt, and then you had this young guy who was coming up. His name was Michael Jordan. You probably heard of him and he came up and how, when he was there, they said that one time they were in the middle of practice and also Michael just took over to practice but he had honored them all throughout their careers and looked up to them. And then he honored them and he turned around and said there's a new sheriff in town and it was a handing off of the changing of the guard. I was watching a new guy named Anthony Edwards, who I love watching. He's outstanding. He's been honoring Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1:People say why is that important? Because the watch this, the mantle you honor, is the one that will pour into you. You attract what you honor in this season President Joe Biden. In the midst of all that he's done, you have to recognize the greatness of this man. Even though he's deteriorating in the season Cognitively, you have to recognize this man has come through all sorts of things.
Speaker 1:He's been vice president. He beat somebody that Hillary Clinton could not beat, which was President Donald Trump. He beat him. He's been a senator for you. I mean, what is it? 40, 50 years he's been in office and, yeah, has he gone too far? But what I'm saying? There are things in him that got him to where he is, and if people do not honor the people that are in their lives and recognize greatness, you can miss the transaction in the transition. My good God, there can be a changing of the guard that is happening, but it doesn't happen without the transaction during the transition. Well, how do I make the transaction? The lesser is blessed by the greater.
Speaker 1:This is the season that God is opening your eyes to greatness so you can be under that anointing. So then, therefore, you can have an impartation because you recognize. See. It is an honor when God allows you to see greatness in other people. He's allowed you to see it. One to cherish it and honor it, and the Bible says that we should. Number two there's something in them that you're called to obtain and it's not a selfish piece. It's something that God allows your eyes to be open.
Speaker 1:That's why I tell women many times that are that haven't been recognized by a man, say, don't worry about it, just keep everything covered up physically, because at the right time, god will allow that man to see beyond the dirt. He'll allow you see we, wow, wow, wow. Let me stop there for a minute. Lord, just show me this. We take all this time to reveal what's not virtuous. Think about it. Women get their chest done, they get BBLs, they get all this stuff done, they put makeup on all the things. That's the dirt.
Speaker 1:The treasure is what you want the man to see, not the earthen vessel. Isn't it funny that men are stimulated by sight, the earthen vessel, which means I'm driven by carnality, I'm driven by my senses. That's not what's, that's going to fade. The Bible says beauty fades and flower fades in all those things. That all fades away. But that virtue inside of you, who can recognize that? Who can find a virtuous woman? Her price is far above rubies. And then the Bible says he that findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtains what Favor. Why, my good God, do you understand that when God allows you to see greatness in other people, he's actually giving you favor? Ladies, ladies, ladies, let me say this that's why I don't believe it's wrong for a woman to look nice and especially be sexy for her husband. I'm all for that.
Speaker 1:But there's certain things you want to keep covered up. You say why is that? Because we're supposed to know each other by the spirit. We're supposed to know each other by discernment and revelation, not by outward manifestation, physical things. Oh yeah, but look at her. She's 36, 24, 36. That's what they said back in the day. Oh, she's built like this. Nowadays it's like 56. The way the women are built now, the type of plastic surgery and stuff they can get. They've got all this stuff built out.
Speaker 1:And is it wrong for somebody? No, but you don't want to be known by that. You don't want someone attracted to something that's fleeting. You want someone to see beyond the earthen vessel and see the treasure. Are you hearing what I'm saying? We powdering and we're putting makeup on and we're spritzing and we're doing this and doing all these things. The earthen vessel, what gives us value is the uniqueness inside of us. And so what happens to women when they reveal their sexuality and all that stuff, how sexual they want to be and sexy and wearing short skirts?
Speaker 1:You're asking men watch this to bypass your virtue, to bypass why they should honor you, to bypass the greatness in you and settle for someone that's attracted to the earthen vessel. When God said the treasure is in earthen vessel, that the excellency of the power may be, it is hidden. The Bible talks about the hidden man of the heart. You want to have that which is hidden, seen by those that value you. My good God, almighty, are y'all catching what I'm saying today? And that's the reason why y'all better hear what I'm saying, even though I believe there are those, like President Biden, that are in the wrong place. But what you have to do is recognize who are the people that see beyond my cognitive degeneration and recognize my virtue, still see my greatness within me.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that we're in a season of transition where transactions are made. We're going to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children back to the father. That's what Elijah did with Elisha and what happened? He cried out my father, my father, the mantle falls from heaven and, as a result look at what happens he gets a double portion. Don't miss your double portion in the season, ladies. Don't settle for a man that is attracted to your earthen vessel. Settle for a man that sees the virtue within you.
Speaker 1:Let me lastly say this as well how do I know if a man really loves me or just my body? Because it's a thing. He'll keep pursuing you even though you don't allow him your earthen body? See, see, see, see. A man that has a heart for his wife will pursue her, even when he ain't getting it. Yeah, I said that. That's right. That's why you don't want to be giving all of that out. You need to figure out because, listen, when somebody, when God, allows you to see great, wow, when God allows somebody to see greatness in a person, it causes them to pursue them. No matter what, you'll pursue them. That's why, when Jesus Peter had it with Jesus, he said thou art the Christ, son of the living God.
Speaker 1:Next thing, you know, 5,000 people following him out in the middle of nowhere. He multiplies the loaves and the fishes. Then he preaches a sermon, says you have to eat of my flesh, drink of my blood, says. Many of them walked away no more. Jesus looked back at the 12 and said will you go away? Also, what did Peter say? You got the words of eternal life. I don't care if all the crowds leave, I know what's in you.
Speaker 1:This is a season watch this. There are transactions being made, god. Watch this, hear me. Well, concentrate on this, please. This is the season that God is uncovering, revealing, for those that have discernment, gifts in front of them that the law of honor might be appropriated so transactions can be made. This is a season where giftings inside of people are going to be uncovered.
Speaker 1:People say how in the world? How in the world did all these people follow Jesus out in the middle of nowhere? I mean, they found him out in the middle of nowhere. Watch this, watch this, watch this nowhere. Watch this, watch this, watch this. God unveiled the treasure within them.
Speaker 1:The reason why many people try to build things out of season and are not successful is because God orchestrates who. He allows to see you and doesn't? Jesus had that virtue in him for years. He had it in him for 30 years, but God unveiled a lot of people to discern and it was revealed to them what was in them, and people started pursuing.
Speaker 1:You better hear what I'm saying. How come I can't find a husband? How come I can't find a husband? It is in time, when God is ready, he will allow that person to see what they need to see and they will be attracted to you in that moment, and God can do that too. That's why 5,000 people followed Jesus out of nowhere. What God just simply revealed, uncovered what it was that was in that treasure, that was in Jesus. He allowed it to be displayed. Now, he allowed people to see it. Are you hearing what I'm saying? That's the thing you have to understand. You say how come Jesus' ministry just took off? God just unveiled him. God, the Father, unveiled Jesus the Son A lot of people to see the virtue within him and up until that point, he kept it veiled in the watch. This, wow, he kept it veiled in the earthen vessel.
Speaker 1:This is the season that God is unveiling watch this people in your life that you need to see greatness in them so they can bless you, and God is going to allow you to be revealed to others so they can pull from the greatness in you. It's a season of transactions. My good God, almighty, don't miss this. This could change everything. It will change everything. It is the law of honor. The law of honor, ladies and gentlemen, and God is going to allow you to see people differently and people are going to start seeing you differently. That's why, in the season, many times we see the frailty of different men and women, that kind of pop up. We see that, the frailty of different men and women that are falling apart, and people say, well, why is all that happening? Because a lot of it. This is a time of transactions.
Speaker 1:That's why I believe we're in a season as well, ladies and gentlemen, that God wants us to sit at the feet of men and women of God, and you need to be sitting at the feet of men and women, and there are people that are going to be sitting at your feet and it's their transaction that needs to be made. But don't try to make somebody see it. If they see it, praise God. If they don't see it, they're not for you. Jesus even said it like this no man cometh to me except the Father. Draw him, wow.
Speaker 1:Recognizing greatness. The lesser is blessed by the greater. Watch this, and I want to say this, and I'm almost done. I'm not saying that, oh, I'm less than and nobody. No, no, no, what it is it's. I have my areas where I'm great, but there's others out there that are greater than me in other areas, and I can't be blessed by the greater unless I recognize it as so can't be blessed by the greater unless I recognize it as so.
Speaker 1:God, open our eyes and give us grace that not only would people recognize what's in us but, lord, we'll recognize what's in others and not miss anything that you have for us, father. I pray for every person watching right now that, father, they would not miss any door or window of opportunity, lord, the new relationships that are coming into their life, father, they would not miss any door or window of opportunity. Lord, the new relationships that are coming into their life, father, that they would recognize the people that recognize them, but they would also recognize others. Father, I pray today in the name of Jesus, that, lord, we would honor one another and, lord, that we would not miss these windows of opportunity as they come. I pray for those that are about to be unveiled as they step into their ministry and call and future and business and whatever that you have for them, father, they would be unveiled.
Speaker 1:You know, ladies and gentlemen, as I'm talking, I'm thinking about the story how you have Aaron's rod that budded. They cut down 12 men that were chosen and one rod budded, which was Aaron. That's how they selected him to become the high priest. You take a look at David. There were eight children and they go through all of the different children and then they're saying, well, where is it? It wasn't this one. It wasn't this one. It was the place where the virtue was.
Speaker 1:When Samuel saw David, the Bible says this is the man in whom God delighteth. I mean, he knew immediately that God allowed him to see. I mean, he knew immediately that God allowed him to see my God. This is a season of revelation. This is a season of transaction because it's a time of transition. This is a season where you have to recognize the fathers in your life.
Speaker 1:You have to recognize where you're called to sit at someone's feet. You need to recognize how to navigate when people are called to sit at your feet and you say, why is that important? Because we serve those gifts. We serve them even in their frailty. We serve them even in our ability to witness. That doesn't mean, hear me, that people that have you have a responsibility. When you have people that are walking with you, you have a responsibility to walk maturely and not offend.
Speaker 1:But there are some things that they may see that you don't even know that your slip is showing. It's kind of like if somebody's smiling, they got food in their teeth or they got a boogie in their nose or whatever it is that they got something in there and they think they're just completely good. They don't recognize it, but you got a chance to see it. How you do that? Noah, or Ham, shem, shem and Japheth? You know Ham chose not to cover his father and what happened, how he honored or dishonored. Oh, my God, I'm gonna be preaching this Saturday. You wanna catch it? Don't miss it.
Speaker 1:At another level, I'm gonna be going deeper into this. I'm gonna talk about how this is a season when the doors are open All honor watch this and dishonor happens at the door. My God, all honor and dishonor happens at the door. This is why we're seeing men and women of God that are falling. God wants to know do you honor, do you honor the gift? Well, the man fell.
Speaker 1:Do you understand spiritual principles? Because, listen, even though they have fallen, that treasure is still in them. Number two watch this Can you serve and honor a gift that has dirt, a dirt vessel, earthen vessel, a dirt house, with a treasure in it? Can you still honor it? Well, why should I have to do that? Real simple, because God will never elevate you and anoint you if you can't do it now and serve them. Why he's only anointing you? Hear me. Well, he's only anointing you and calling you to go back and serve people that have frailty and earthen vessels. They got treasures in them, but they need someone to serve them. So God has you serve up, so you understand the principles and then he has you serve down. Are you hearing what I'm saying, my good God Almighty? I hope this has blessed you today and I pray that God's anointing forever rest upon you.
Speaker 1:Don't miss this opportunity. Get ready for God to begin to open up opportunities in your world. There's new relationships coming into your life, new opportunities come into your life. Don't allow proximity to dirt to rob you of proximity of an anointing or a mantle so powerful, even in relationships. Ladies and gentlemen, male or female, if they don't recognize your virtue, they don't recognize the greatness within you. They don't see in you. When the going gets rough, they'll leave because they're only attracted to what is fleeting the earth within you. They don't see in you. When the going gets rough, they'll leave because they're only attracted to what is fleeting the earthen vessel. When everybody left, it was Peter's revelation and discernment of him being the Christ that kept him going, no matter what. What did he say? I can build my church on revelation and discernment. That's how you could tell when their relationship's really born of God. God can build them, no matter come hell or high water, because that revelation and discernment of the greatness that God allowed someone to see keeps them knitted together.
Speaker 1:So I hope that you've been blessed by this. I want to pray one more prayer upon you that God's hand will just be mighty upon your life. Father, I thank you right now for what you're doing. I thank you for the doors that are open. I thank you that there will be no dishonor but, lord, that we will love and respect and cherish one another. I just want you to repeat this after me Say dear heavenly father, give me the grace to recognize and identify revealed value that is called to be in my life. May I never dishonor, may I have the grace to honor every person that comes into my world. May I never dishonor the treasure because of what I see in the earthen vessel. In Jesus' name, amen, amen, amen. Now listen, I hope that you are blessed. I just want to mention one more time.
