do all his commandments ah high above all the nations of the earth you listen to the voice of the lord yours i like this phrase that the blessings of god will come on you yeah overtaking [Music] if we will do his words those i said that's what belongs to us it's conditional now we have to hear him agree with him and obey because of this phrase god will set you on high. he said god spoke to him and said there's a place for you on there's a place on top for this church there's [Applause] and
then god replied to him and said then follow the conditions he said your obedience to my command the bottom does not suit us at the top [Music] the preacher went on and said when god said this to me in 1982 he said i was at the bottom with everyone else lgco staff [Music] let me tell you where that minister is actually he now pastors the largest church in the world he has a building that seats 50 000 people he feels that five times every sunday a quarter of a million people every sunday but he also

1920s and the four square denomination put one and a half million dollars into the foundation recently uh because when my husband went home to be with the lord i became responsible for six and a half million dollars i had to now finish eight projects that he had started two of them were buildings he was building and he was paying cash as he built these yeah and when there was no more money in the account he stopped building it well i had to get those finished tests in the project [Music] but god enabled us capacity within
one year the two buildings were done all eight projects were done my husband had been trying for five years to complete those projects if you're not willing to go on the trip and you can't reach the top because he's not going to take you from the bottom and put you okay up here without your faith growing ecology amen i mean feed your faith elementary [Music] came to visit solomon she had heard about him leaders from every land came to visit him wisdom but it came from god in his word god calls us to a higher
wisdom then what common man walks in not the wisdom of this earth coming to what his divine wisdom and his word is his wisdom his word is his wisdom his word is his willingness when you do his word regardless will you do his work hey man ah man solomon uh displayed salomon great excellence greg because porque it flowed out of his wisdom when people lack excellent see and it says when the queen of sheba saw the excellence it says her breath was taken [Music] greater wisdom greater excellence and the the one who is greater than
solomon is in you isaiah is in you know [Music] there's demons cannot stop you jesus spoiled principalities you will come as far into the blessings of god as you're interested in receiving terrorism but we have a greater example in jesus you're the son of god i mean you have the same word he had said you have the same spirit you have the same authority he has said that [Applause] for you to tread don't let demons stop you just step over them and keep going he's not gonna leave you alone of my enemies [Applause] you can
take off that take off oh i wasn't born in a prosperous place [Applause] quit looking for a place to be who you are [Music] why don't you be the example when we started our church 25 years ago what god said to me tells me jesse was i want this church in ministry to be an i'd rather be known as an anointed church i would rather be known as a miracle church i would rather be known as prosperous church i would rather be known as a church of healing if you're an example you're an example in
every example so that if during the chapter further in the chapter [Music] is [Applause] [Music] is what has false this time so when god said to us i want your church to be an example cattle church he wanted us i will do what they did [Applause] in your business and god work god said i'm going to work a miracle for you he tells yourself and he did yes and i paid cash for that others had tried to buy the home see others had enough money but they didn't have the words i had the word when
i didn't have the money [Applause] and because i had the words [Applause] now can i tell you another struggle that i have i got an apostrophe about bind at home it is in a city known for poverty the city this [Applause] okay that doesn't live in poverty to bring prosperity can i tell you something i don't care where you're at financially no important god calls you prosecutors the prosperity of god prosperity upon me is greater than the poverty in this city prosperity is greater you say if it is then how come there's so much poverty
because to think poverty is easier prosperity so i've been living in that home how long i don't know two years ago [Applause] to be seated in those doors did not want prosperity is greater than poverty prosperity hallelujah hallelujah can i tell you about here i'll make room for you i'm sorry michelle okay no problem i talked about me god said to me that was me jesus right before i moved into the home he said i'm going to make you rich [Music] [Applause] yes the home that i live in is sister amy's home is lovely the
