oh before y'all sit let's thank the Lord for pastor Bert pretorius he talks about how I have

blessed him he has blessed me in our ministry in our life and I'm so grateful for him and his beautiful bride Pastor

Char let's thank the Lord for pastor charet I want to thank Steven herd minister Reverend Steven herd actually

for his ministry I got some people with me that I that are here with me today let me

start with Bishop Monty Norwood from Atlanta Georgia he's here with us today and I also brought uh my executive

assistant she's uh she manages my life she's the real boss and the real Pastor her and her husband Pam and

Marcel Virgil I want to talk to you today for a few moments that I have allotted to

me uh from I want you to go to the Book of Exodus Exodus chapter

40 and I want to uh title this message more than

enough say that than that was weak more than enough I want to take a

look at the children of Israel you know their story they were in slavery they were in

bondage and God raises up Moses and leads them out of bondage and they're headed

toward a land that God had promised them they headed toward the Promised Land but while they're in the midst of this

journey something a couple of unbelievable thing matter of fact a lot of unbelievable things happened but I

want to spend a few moments and talk about a couple of things that happened while they were in on on their way to

the promised land that shook my world and it's in let me just talk for a moment in Exodus chapter 40 and let me

read verse 34 and 35 I'm reading from the new King James translation verses 34 and 35 it

says then the cloud covered the tent of meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the

Tabernacle Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled upon it and the glory of the

Lord filled the Tabernacle uh I don't know if you you've had this experience in your life I

suspect you have but during the course of our church that our pastor in Maryland we had occasions

and situations where the glory and the presence of God was so awesome and strong that we couldn't even continue on

with the worship experience that God began to come in and touch lives and speak to people without even a sermon

being preached people would begin running to the altar to get saved people would be getting healed families would

be getting to together because the glory of God had filled the Tabernacle I don't know if y'all find

that exciting that's exciting to me it is the desire of my life to live in a place to see lives change to see people

delivered to see people healed to see people responding to the gospel to see God get all of the glory it is it is an

amazing thing where you can sense the very awesome presence of God and the question that I've asked myself

over and over again that I've wondered what was it about the worship experiences that we had that those

moments occurred that attracted God to step in and say I got it from

here I I I wondered I was curious I I wanted to know and I I questioned and looked at this text and I wanted to know

Lord what caused you to move move in such a spectacular way I'm glad y'all want to know too somebody say I want to

know the answer that too CU that's what I wanted to know well let me walk through just a few verses

because the condition that facilitated God's glory stepping into such an environment is right here in Exodus so

they're in the wilderness they're they are they're trying to make it to the promised land for 40 years they've been

trying to get there they're following a Cloud by day and a pillar of Fire by night and yet something occurs they make

a decision to build a tabernacle here they are out in the middle of the Wilderness

and they make a choice to build a tabernacle Exodus chapter 25 slide there real quick Exodus chapter 25 just jot

these verses down and make little note to yourself Exodus chap 25:8 says this

and here's here's God speaking to them he says in verse 8 of chapter 25 and let them make me a

sanctuary that I may dwell among them stick a pen right there somebody say God says I want a tabernacle that I may

dwell among them that's what God says that's that's chapter 25:8 God says I the conditions

that set me to come and show myself and manifest myself began with them making a choice to build me a tabernacle are

y'all with me in Exodus 29 and verse 42 chat jot that down Exodus 29 verse 42 says this I

love this right here verse 42 it says this shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generation at the door

of the Tabernacle of meeting before the Lord where I will meet with you to speak with you

okay y'all missed it he said first of all I want to dwell with them I want them to build a tabernacle so I'll dwell

with them secondly he says I want to speak to them I don't know if you know how powerful it is when God talks to

you I don't know if anybody here ever prayed and asked God for something that you didn't discuss with anybody else and

then God spoke to you took you to a scripture had a sermon preached or spoke in your heart and answered the very

thing thing you had just talked to nobody else about but him when you have the opportunity to have a relationship

with God where he communicates with you that's an awesome experience to have let me tell you something there's nothing

more greater than to walk with God and talk with God and have him tell you that you are his

child and so in this place the condition that led up to God's glory filling the Tabernacle was one they wanted to build

a tabernacle so God could dwell there secondly God says I want to be able to speak with them I want to meet them and

talk with them and communicate with them but here's a third thing oh this is powerful I'm almost finished I'm just

going through here real quick it's Exodus chap 29:44 look at that verse 44 just a

couple verses down for where we are he says so I will consecrate the Tabernacle of meeting and the altar I will also

consecrate both Aron and his sons to minister to me has priest that went over y'all's head went

right over your head let me roll it back and give it to you here's this is profound it's powerful it's amazing he

says I want to consecrate the Tabernacle of meeting that's the place that they want to build and the altar I will also

consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to me his priest now we always come to church to be

ministered to but did you recognize that you can minister to God you can do something there are some

things you can do you can be in a posture to minister to the Lord somebody tell your neighbor I want to be a person

that ministers to God now it says here that there's a consecration going upon Aaron and his

son so they can Minister his priests but I also believe that this verse is setting a standard that the ministry to

God is not just with the priest but God wants the ushers to minister to him the choir to minister to him he wants the

people who serve the food to minister to him that play an instrument to minister to him the production people to minister

to him he wants you to minister to him come on look at your neighbor and ask him when the last time have you

minister to God wait for an answer wait to see what they got to say wait to hear what the

answer is oh y'all y'all missed a great spot to shout here's what I'm trying to get to this is them wanting to build a

tabernacle out in the middle of the Wilderness here they are in the middle of nowhere trying to get to the promised

land here they are out in the middle of the desert here they are in the middle of the Wilderness and they want to build

a temple they want to build a sanctuary so God can dwell there so God can speak to them there and so they can minister

to God oh I feel a shout coming on my soul that is just a foreshadow of what God wants to do in

you he wants to dwell in you he wants to live in you y'all don't get it y'all don't understand he wants you to

understand that you are the Tabernacle it's not about a physical building anymore he said that's just a

foreshadowing of what I want to do in you God says I want to dwell with you and walk with you and live with you and

hold up he says I want to communicate with you in your very soul and in your very being anybody here grateful to God

lives in you somebody say he lives in me he he walks with me he talks with me he tells

me that I am his own child I give God the praise it's not about a physical Temple it's about him living in

this if I if we can just get the saints of God to understand that God dwells in you it's not in this physical

building he wants to dwell in you and live in you and talk to you and communicate with you and speak to you

and answer your prayers oh when you have a walk with God and a relationship with him nothing can compare with God talking

and communicating with somebody high-fire your neighbor say I believe that I said I I I'm walking with

that okay so now you know that he dwells with you now you know that your your temple this physical

building is God's Dwelling Place I remember when I was in this in School in the

Seminary we used to have a class uh in one of our classes we would have to give a report about what we did

that weekend it was called weekend report every Sun every Monday after we took class on Friday every Monday we'd

have to come in class and talk about what we did that weekend and one of the stud one of my classmates came to class

and gave his report and he said well when I left class on Friday I went home and washed my car and did X

Y and Z and Saturday I went here and went there and did this and did that and then he said and then on Sunday he said

I went to church and the Lord met us there the instructor stopped him and said he met you

there where was he Friday when you was washing your car where was he when you did all the stuff you did on Saturday

y'all missing it's going over your head you know what you need to understand when you went to the club the Lord was

with you when you went to the club whatever you did wherever you went whatever you said he was right there he

was walking with you because he dwells in you somebody say thank God he walks with

me and lives in me some of you today don't have Jesus in your life you haven't accepted Jesus in your life

you've been living on your own walking independently not thinking God cares about you but he loves you enough and

cares enough about you to bring you into this building today or put you in a place today for you to hear that he

wants to live in you yes you've done some bad things yes you've said some nasty things yes you went some places

you shouldn't have gone yes you wanted some stuff you shouldn't have wanted but thanks be to God no matter how nasty and

how raggedy you have been he still loves you and wants to have a relation relationship with

you somebody high five your neighbor say thank God he still wants me everybody else pushes me to the curb

but he still wants me everybody else rejects me and talks about me but oh I give God the glory that in spite of me

and in spite of my errors and in spite of my sin he still loves me but hold up wait a

minute I don't want to skip this point that they ministered to God that Aaron and his sons ministered that that

another words some of the translations use the word they served the Lord they made a commitment with their

lives cuz they understood and they comprehended the truth and the Revelation that we have the opportunity

to serve God you're not serving Pastor Burt it's not Pastor

Char it's the King of Kings and the Lord of lords they are the unherd but God is

ultimately the one who gets the glory and the honor and he's watching you and looking at you and observing you to see

how you serve him I'm almost finish let me also tell you that's not the only thing they did while they were

ministering to the Lord they had a particular attitude while they served God somebody look lean over to your

neighbor and say your attitude makes a difference some of y'all don't have the right

attitude you complain you mad you do it reluctantly you do it with uh anxiety

and frustration and and and I believe God is saying if you can't do it with the right attitude stay

home keep it to yourself God's looking for somebody to have the right posture and attitude look

at what it says in uh Exodus chapter 35 ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh let me read verses four and five

real quick I I just got several verses it says and Moses spoke verse four chapter 35:4 and Moses spoke to all the

congregation of the children of Israel saying this is the thing which the Lord commanded saying take from among you an

offering to the Lord whoever is of a willing heart let him bring it as an offering to

the Lord gold silver and bronze get the picture they out in the middle of nowhere they're out in the middle of the

desert they out there are no grocery stores there's no banks there's no stores there's no uh jewelry stores but

yet they took from what they had and brought it has an offering for the building of the Tabernacle but here's

the key I want you to see they did it with a willing heart okay y'all didn't get it let me go

to verse 21 of that same chapter verse 21 then everyone came whose heart was stirred and everyone whose Spirit was

willing and they brought the Lord's offering for the work of the Tabernacle of meeting for all its service and for

the holy garments let me let me let me go to verse 22 while I'm here right here in verse chapter

35:22 they came both men and women has many has had what a willing heart and brought earrings and nose rings and

rings and necklaces all jewelry of gold that is every man who made an offering of gold to the Lord they bought what

they could to support the work work of the Tabernacle oh y'all not listening to me let me let me slide down to verse 29

all the Israelites verse 29 can I read verse 29 I'm trying to get you to see what it is that was in place when it

caused God to show up in such a supernatural way that the priest couldn't even step into the temple to

preach because the glory of God filled the temple it had to do with the attitude of the people all the Israelite

women verse 29 men and women who were will willing brought to the Lord a free will offering for all the work of the

Lord through though through Moses had commanded them to do so it went over y'all's head I got to plain it to you

here's what happened they came even though they were in the wilderness even though they didn't have a lot to offer

even though they just brought what was available to them they brought what they had as a willing

offering they had a willing heart somebody tell your neighbor it was a willing heart

now ask your neighbor do you have a willing heart or do you come reluctantly did you

have to be drugg out of the bed to come to church this morning do do you have to be drugged does somebody have to keep

calling you to get you to come and do what you said you were going to do did they have to keep asking you keep

calling you keep texting you did they have to keep on uh hassling you to do what it is you said you wanted to do go

ahead and preach Jenkins I'm doing the best that I can God wants a willing heart and here's what here's what oh oh

oh wait hold up wait wait a minute yeah wait a minute are y'all with me do you

understand what I'm saying you get the picture I'm not just talking about an offering I'm talking about the offering

of your service to the King of Kings and the Lord of lords an offering of your SK skills an

offering of your time and an offering of your money somebody say it all goes together with a willing heart what I

love about y'all's worship here and I'm I'm coming to a close I got four minutes left I'm bringing my plane in for a

landing I'm about to land I can't take my time don't tell me y'all know I can't take my

time come back at 10:30 and tell me to take my time you got to have a kind of

willingness that even when stuff don't work you still working somebody say I got a willing

heart I got a heart tell your neighbor I'm going to do my part tell your neighbor I'm going to do my part I'm

going to do what's asked of me go ahead tell them I'm going to do what's asked of me tell him on the other side I'm

going to do what's asked of me I'm almost finished but look at here look at here Exodus 36 let me close with

this let me close with Exodus 36: 6 and 7 Exodus chap 36 vers 6 and 7 then Moses gave an

order and they sent this word throughout the camp no man or woman is to make anything

else as an offering for the sanctuary and so the people were restrained from bringing more because

what they already had was more than enough to do all the work can you imagine

one Sunday Pastor Burke coming out here you know right now we normally take up our offering but we got more than enough

we're not going to take up an offering today I know y'all can't imagine that I can't imagine it either I can't imagine

having that ability to stand up in front of my church one Sunday and say we got more than enough but here today I'm

declaring and believing that God's going to do something spectacular among this congregation so one day you want to hear

him say we got more than enough somebody say more look forward to the day when he says we got more ushers than we need we

got more than enough we got more production people than we need we got more than enough we got more dancers

than we need we got more than enough we got more witnesses and more cell group leaders and more souls get we got more

than enough who am I preaching to today somebody make a declaration I will do my

part to produce more than enough Hallelujah come on give God praise Hallelujah let's stand to our

feets praise the Lord have you been blessed by the word that's gone out Hallelujah so this is an application

word this is application that we need to take and that's why I'm not going to I'm not going to take out an offering this

is a this is a lifestyle you understand I'm not you we're not going to have I don't want you

moved emotionally I want you move spiritually the word that Pastor John brought let me tell you I walk with that

with with with with Pastor John and he w talks what he talks so he's not here listen to me he's

not here to get you to give or to get you he's here demonstrating his life that's why he is where he

is and if you want what he wants you got to do what he does are you hearing me yet so it's

lifestyle you've got this QR code you've got everything okay you make a decision when

you're in the car with your family you make a decision when it comes to your giving you understand you go home get

into the safe get hold of those earrings sell them whatever you need to do everything that's there it's a waste

you don't wear you don't use there's no investment into it whatever it is and we give it to the Lord give our exess to

the Lord get into your closet all those extra clothes that you haven't worn for 10 years and you still trus in the Lord

to fit in it cuz you paid so much money for it it find somebody that size that you're

dreaming of and give it to that person can I get a big [Music]

amen are you hearing me and now you can trust God once again for finances for either a bigger size or trust the Lord

that you are going to shrink uh whatever whatever you need whatever your faith is for come on can I get a big amen there

amen and that's what we do and you know what we Echo that with

SH and I it is we serve a god of more than enough we've seen the hand of God we've seen the hand of God and we seen

the hand of God and therefore make sure that it's a lifestyle but that decision after you starts the easiest place to

give is your finances that's the easiest then start giving off your time and stuff you see that's a whole total

different level but you know what when you give when you sow what happens God be becomes the god of

more than enough come on lift up your hands there where you are say say me heavenly father father thank you Lord

than you that you are the God you are God of more than enough more than enough forgive me forgive me for my fear for my

fear trying to hang on to what I have trying to hang on to what I have I make a decision today I make to give away my

stuff give away my stuff give away my time give my give away my intellectual property give it away to serve others

Ser to be a blessing to others bless and I know Lord that you will be the god of more than enough within my life in Jesus

name Give the Lord Al Mighty hand of Praise hallelujah thank you Jesus Hallelujah every head bowed every

eye closed there's somebody here today you have not yet given your life to Jesus that's where it start you can't

claim anything from God if you're not his child you can't pray because you can't say Our Father Who Art in Heaven

you can't say our father because you're not his child you can only be his child if you're born of him unless a man is

born again he'll not see the kingdom and you say B where does it start Jesus said repent repent and be saved so repent and

believe so that means turning away from your life and say I'm done being my own God I'm done I need God in my life and

it's forsaking your old life and turning to Christ and saying Lord now I trust you invite him into your heart God will

come he'll change your life he'll never be the same again he'll transform you change you listen to what I'm

saying trust him today believe give God a chance within your life and if that's you here today while every head is bowed

every ey is closed and you say Pastor I want to give my life to Jesus maybe you've never done it before

I want to include you in that prayer or maybe you've done it before but you backsliding you moved away from God you

know you're far from God and you want to come back if that's you I'm going to invite you as well quickly slip up your

hand one two three thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you I see those hands thank you

thank you you can put it down thank you very much I just want to ask one more time Jesus said these words he said now

is the time of Salvation the reason why he says now another translation says today

today you see none of us are guaranteed will be here tomorrow and even in this atmosphere of faith God is speaking to

you right now and you might leave this place and never ever sense in your heart again

ever that you need God but one day when you stand before God whether it be 5 years whether it be

40 years from now this day will be referenced you'll never be able to say in your life you did not

know they say I spoke to you you rejected me don't reject the word of God today today it's today it's now if God's

speaking to you you need to respond now therefore while every head is bowed still those who never raised their head

and you want to raise your head quickly slip it up now 1 2 3 thank you thank you thank you thank you I see those heads

thank you you can put it down now I want to do one more thing if you raised your hand I need to do a personal prayer with
