Pastoring God's Sheep - Episode 140

[Music] Well, praise the Lord and hallelujah. Thank you so much for joining us this evening, this afternoon, this morning, whatever time you're watching us. You're watching Pastoring God's Sheep on the Marketplace Network. I'm so excited that you've joined us on your cell phone and whether you're watching at your church, you're watching on your tablet TV, maybe you're watching in your living room, maybe at your workplace, whatever. But you've got Pastor uh Timothy, your host. I'm tagging along. I'm Dr. Ken. I just wanted to jump on real quick. We've got a lot of response from our audience uh by email and I just want to uh kind of navigate some of the response we've got and ask Pastor Tim some of the questions.

In the meantime, I want you to go ahead and subscribe. It's free. I did say free. And speaking of free, his book's coming out in the middle of uh December. He's got it down to just $10. And I want you, it's a quick read for the weekend and it's talking about small miracles. That's that's not the official name, but it's going to be something to that effect. How raise your hand if you need a miracle. I know I do. I'll put both hands up. Listen to me. We all need a small miracle. And how it's based off Psalm 68:19. It says, "Lo me uh daily benefits." So we all need those benefits. What's a benefit? We all need a miracle of some kind financially. We need uh a benefit maybe with our health. We need a a relationship. We need benefits on our paying our rent, whatever, job, whatever. But that scripture is powerful. And Pastor Tim's going to go into deeper. So with the book, what I'm asking you to do, not only when it comes out, I'm going to ask you to pick it up. But I want to ask you to pick up two. But I want you to ask you at the end of the program and ask you to go ahead and start sewing the seed now. Let me tell you why. If you start sewing the seed now, I want you to notice how your finances will start picking up. Because those that sew in God's economy, Galatians 6:7, we sow, we do reap on all good things. It's in Galatians uh 11:1. Sometimes we sow in 7, 8, 9 good works. It's up to God where he blesses us. We have to have the seed in the ground so he knows when to bless us. That's the key. It's not buying and selling in God's economy. We have to put the seed in the ministry on his good works. Pastor Tim does a lot of traveling. He does speak his word and he's doing it for you. That's why he wrote the book for you so you can receive your miracles.

A lot of us are so busy. We are looking at the bomb. We're saying, "Well, what does this all mean? It's just so hard. We're busy with our children. We have jobs. We have a you know uh our spouses a lot of u daily life. It's kind of hard to uh kind of uh uh understand what all this um the word is about. Pastor's devoted his life to this and he's going to break it down to you and make it really easy for you to understand. So I highly recommend you get the book. It's easy to read. It only take you a read a weekend to read. But he's committed and that's why I've got him on tonight. He's committed for you free. You can subscribe right now starting tonight. The QR codes right there on the screen. You can take a picture with your phone from this point forward. All his videos, there's over a hundred. All his teachings are absolutely free. I mean, who else does that free? So, when you get his book and mid, that's a great Christmas gift, by the way, for $10. All the teachings that do from the book to receive your miracle. And it's it's really cool because he'll start you out with and I and we're going to talk about relationship tonight, but I just want to real quick throw this tidbit in, but he starts this really cool how we can believe for maybe to have lunch money if we're a college student. It's so cool. Like $10. Oh, we can believe for our $10 lunch. Then all of a sudden we're believing for our rent that's 2,000. Then all of a sudden we're believing for a home. Then all of a sudden we're believing for, you know, stock tips. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. But it's really cool how he builds your faith up and all kinds of things and our health. He prays for headaches. He takes us all the way up to full-blown cancer. See, he's taking us up in our faith. Faith can grow. Luke 17:5, the disciples asked Jesus, "Pray for our faith and you'll stop. You don't need more faith." Verse 6, a faith of a mustard seed. Did you catch that? Mustard seeds this big. Faith of a mustard seed. You can say to them all very verse be uprooted and cast into the sea and they'll obey you. It says obey you. The Lord himself said obey you. You don't have to be apostle pastor like him a doctor. You don't have to be anything. Just a believer. That's it. Believe. That's all you have to do. Faith of a mustard seed.

So on that note, we're going to start with Pastor Tim and we're going to turn him loose. I want to talk about relationships real quick because that's what you're asking. Now, pastor, you know, this is such a great subject for me. Some people, we have friends, uh, you know, I'm your age, uh, 190. No, I'm kidding. Um, I have a lot of friends throughout the country. Uh, I grew up with a lot. I still have friends over 50 something years. Uh, some come and go, but some have left and some it's really hard when they leave. Can you help the people out there that have wrote in? They've had friends for a long time, childhood friends. They were best friends for 10, 20 years. They grew up together and all of a sudden they're gone. What is that? Can you shed some light on that? What is what's going on with that?

Well, a lot of times it's either going to be they passed >> and not with us anymore >> or friendships like relationships can be seasonal. >> Okay? >> God brings them into your life for a reason. And once that reason has been accomplished, they leave. It's usually hard on us when that happens. And as I mentioned in my last show, I had a friend that I looked at in my heart as being my son that lasted about a year. And he told me, "Don't call. I'm finished." Wow. >> So that relationship was for a season. He came into my life for a reason and that was to get me back into church and to build my belief in myself up. >> Wow. >> Build my faith in the Lord up. And then he left. So it could be seasonal. God does bring people into our lives for a short period of time. He brings other people into our lives. Like you were saying, you still have friends that you've had for a lifetime, 50, 60 years, even though I'm 40. Here's my point is pastor's going to pray for you right now. And this is very important because it's very heartbreaking when they you grow up with them. And I have had friends too that I was very very close. They've helped me out and some really traumatic times and that I just owe such a debt to and I just wanted to reach out to them say how much they mean to them. They won't even talk to me. And nowadays we have Facebook and other social media platforms and it's just heartbreaking. You can't reach out and said I know you have your own life and maybe you're moved on but I just wanted to let you know you meant a lot to me kind of thing but can you pray for us and release us now? I want you to hear me. I'm going to give you the words and pastor's going to pray. Put your hand on your tablet. Listen to me. Put your hand on your cell phone, your TV, whatever you're watching this right now. And I want to match your faith. See, it's Samuel 1, First Samuel 17. What does that mean? Let me set this up for you. Some like the prophet, it's Elijah. He found the Elijah. I'm sorry. Elijah found the widow at the gate. The Lord said, "Go find the widow. You'll know who she is." At the gate, I've told her you're coming. Now, wait a minute. This must be a woman of faith because her husband is saved. Remember, a widow. So, therefore, her husband was a man of God. So, she knew who the man of God was. So, Elijah comes uh into town. The gate, what is that? Commerce. That means people that do business. She was collecting uh sticks. She was going to make a firewood and uh the story goes she was going to uh uh cook a meal and uh her and her son going to eat and die. That's all she had. It was a severe famine. So the prophet recognized her immediate because she was busy doing the work that she was called to do. Making the firewood to have the meal. So he says to her, "Make the uh fire. Go ahead, but make the first morsel of food for me." Now remember, we have to couple with the man of God. This is my point, Pastor Tim. I want you to get your faith with the man of God that has a little bit more experience. The one that has the anointing, that's put his whole life experience into God's word. Maybe you don't have an opportunity to have as much opportunity to be in the ministry or or have seen the miracles, the signs, the wonders, the gone through the experience that he's gone through. Doesn't mean that your experiences are not anymore or less. I'm not talking about that. But sometimes you don't have the skill. That's what I'm looking for. We have to be skilled in the word. And that's the key part to really uh to be able to help uh not help God. God wants to move through us, but we have to be skilled in his word for her uh him to move through us. Now, he can't speak through us if we're baby Christians. I lost all my amens. You didn't say amen. I can't hear you out there. You have to give me an amen on that because if you're not a seasoned that that goes for you out there that have been there 20, 30 years in the church and been taking notes and you haven't gone out and prayed for anybody, shame on you. If you're in the church just like the disciples were, they studied Jesus for three and a half years. He threw them out. He made them go out. That's what you have to do. Not leave the church. You go out and bring disciples back. You keep bringing them back. But you have to go out and find the calling and purpose in your ministry as you bring back people still learning from the church, but you bring back people to fill up where you left off. But finding your calling where God has for you. Now you can say amen. Now hear me on this. Pastor is going to pray for us. So what did Elijah do? He told her to fill up every vial that he had and uh she's going to pour the last bit of oil until it's done. So she borrows. Now listen to what he says. Fill up everything you can borrow. Everything. Key word is everything. So >> if you're asking pastor to pray, you're asking the man or woman of God when you go up there, you've got to expect multiplication. I lost my amens again. You've got to expect remember uh Genesis 1:26 to 1:28. He's calls to be fruitful and multiply. If you're not expect Why did God make the earth for? Not man for earth, earth for man. >> All the supply is already here. You're not listening. I lost the amens again. Start thinking multiplication. So ask the man of God. You're coupling your faith. There's nothing wrong with that. Couple your faith with the man of God. Text your request in down below. Pastor, pray for me about this that he we want to hear and rejoice with you on these programs. That's why the comments are there. So you can say, "Pray for this or hey, I just got saved. I just got healed." Whatever it is, so we can rejoice or we can pray so we we can believe with you. That's what these programs are about is this is not a it's not it's an action sport. It's a team sport. We're all together. We have to do things together. Move together as a team in God. He moves through us. That's the point. So pastor's going to pray for us. So as she collected the uh vials of oil, she never ran out and the famine was done and her and her son had enough to get through. Now if she hadn't, she could have collected way more than that. She would have had enough to last her for the rest of her life. See the point? So every time somebody with experience, the prophet, Pastor Tim, speaks a word into your life, you have to receive it as an ongoing word. You have to receive it as multiplication. Make sure you receive it and expect something to happen because book God is speaking through them. Expect your seed to come to pass. You have to water the word. Timothy 1:18, we water the words that were received. Pastor, can you pray for the people on this heart-wrenching problems and we have to disagree that the person left us not because of us. Listen to what I'm saying. Because of the circumstances. It's not their fault or your fault. You're just disagreeing with the enemy that it's how the purposes of God and we re we release our will to Lord's will that we are in the will of God and his will is sufficient. We trust his decision. So pastor go ahead and pray for us and help us out. Uh the word says that if two or more are gathered in Christ's name, it will be done. Well, we have two or more people. We got myself praying that will be praying and we've got however many of you are out there watching this program. >> Yeah. So there's more than two of us and you have the Holy Spirit within you. So let me pray. Make sure you have your hands out there on your TV, your phone, whatever it is that you're watching this on and pray after me. Father, we have lost somebody that is close to us, someone that we have invited in as part of our family. They have left. I don't understand why they left, but pastor is saying that a lot of relationships, a lot of friendships are seasonal. >> Amen. They come into your life for a reason and once that reason is completed they leave. I want to believe this. I want to have accept it in faith that this is true and that your word is comforting to my soul and to my heart. I thank you cuz I know that for each and every one of you that's praying with me, it's already happening in your lives. You're understanding. You're accepting in faith in the word of Christ. I thank you, Father, and I praise you in the holy name of your son, Christ Jesus. Amen. >> Amen.

Now, the next one I want to talk about real quick is a little bit deeper. Is a relative. And I know this is close to pastor's heart. He had a brother. Now, listen to what I'm saying. You might had a sibling. You might had a dad, a mom, whatever. Listen to what I'm saying. That's a little bit closer. Maybe they died when they were young. Maybe your dad, mom, whatever died. I never had a the father of the head. I never met that was 100 years ago. So, I have no idea what he was like. I never even saw a picture. Nothing. So, what I'm saying to you is sometimes there's a void there. Sometimes it's not. Everybody I grew up with didn't have a dad. To me, it didn't make a difference cuz I didn't even know you were supposed to have a dad. I didn't find out until later. So, that was hard for me when I came to Christ when I was 45 that they talked about the father. What does that mean? The father? What? Jesus? Who? The father. Jesus. Who's that? What's going on? So, that's why it's important to watch the program. That's why it's important to uh take a picture of the QR code. That's why it's important to go back to some of the teachings that Pastor Tim has so you understand some of the things that Pastor Tim is talking about. Don't be embarrassed. A lot of things that he's talking about will open your eyes to a lot of spiritual understanding that you too can start believing God for greater and more wonderful things. He's a wonderful He's a great God. The enemy is the one that's confusing you. The enemy going to cause confusion. This is where you want peace and joy. Remember the anointing doesn't go past peace and joy. So pastor is going to pray for you one more time. But I want you to come out of agreement that your brother, sister, mother, father, whatever left you for whatever reason or you couldn't come back or they died or whatever. I don't want you to be that's a negative thing. I don't want you to blame God. Has nothing to do with him. It was whatever reason his ways are higher than ours. You know, don't start even questioning him because just like it was in Job when Jo he asked Job, "Were you there when I set the limits? When the water came out so much? When I created the lamb?" Of course, you were. No, you weren't. So, why are you asking me these things? It's above you. These all things are above us. It's first Peter 5:7. We put all our care into his hands. Let him do it. He's the creator. He's created all things. He wants all good to us. He'll treat us good. He's a good God. So let pastor put your hands back on the tablet and believe God. Be free. Let this go. Let you be free and at peace. What pastor's going to speak over you. Pastor, could you pray for us, please?

>> Yes. Father, we all know that there is a reason why we lose a family member, why you take them from us. Maybe it's because you see that in their illness. >> That's right. >> Maybe it's maybe it's cancer. >> Maybe it's something else. But they're going to suffer through whatever it is and the family members are going to suffer along with them. >> That's really good. >> So you in your wisdom, you in your love answer the prayer of the loved ones to heal that member of their family. But you're not healing them in the way that they think you will heal them in the way that they ask for you to heal them. You heal them by taking them home with you. >> There you go. >> They no longer suffer. They are healed. They have new bodies. There is no more pain. There's no more suffering. So with that you give if they have this understanding that they're in a better place that their loved one their family member is with you no longer suffering. Give them that peace. We just thank you and we praise you father in the precious name of your son. Amen. >> Amen.

Now the key to all this is like a mini deliverance without getting into all this technical stuff and we studying the Bible. Bishop can give us a whole teaching. He does this at the school. I hear this daily. A lot of this is very complicated but it's very simple the way he teaches. And one of these days when a bishop has time to uh take it step by step in some of the videos, we'll get into that. But the short version is this. You just have to speak your way out of disagree with what the enemy is speaking. He's speaking fear and condemnation. It's your fault. Somehow you had something to do with it. They left you. Fear, combination, whatever it is. I want you to disagree with the enemy right here, right now. Two ways you can do that. one, you answer it like Jesus did in Luke 4:1-4. Remember when he came out of the uh he had the 40-day fast and the enemy was trying to say, the first thing he says, if you're the son of God, turn the uh stones to bread. And he says, "No, every word from the mouth of God is what we should be eating from." I'm paraphrasing. So on that note, every word we should be listening to or eating from is the word of God. So what I'm saying to you is this. Answer what the enemy is saying to you. The fearful or you feel guilty or whatever. Guilt is not God, it's the enemy. Answer him back and get out of underneath that uh that um guilt. Say that is not me. That's not what I think. My cares are cast on to him. He's the one that provides for me. He's the one that my thoughts go to. He's the one that takes care of me. He's the one that I trust for my future. I don't need like it says u Jeremiah 29:11, I have plans for you. I have hope. That's where my hope is through him, >> not you. >> So leave him where he's at. Now, in the mental realm, and I'll stop with this. The mental realm's all here in your mind. You'll lose every time with the enemy. Don't try to argue with him. Try to reason with him. You got to go in the spiritual realm. By the way, what is the spiritual realm? Thank God you asked me that. It's where you pray or you pray in tonesues. If you don't know how to pray in tonesues, look at one of Pastor Tim's earlier uh ways. He tells you how to get born again in the spirit realm. You can someone will lay hands on you get the tongues or you can pray and get tongues. He's got a whole teaching on that. Uh the next thing is you can if you uh pray uh uh while you're praying to God or if you're studying the word or if you quoting the word those are just few of the things or you can praise. Praise is another way to get in the spirit. As long as you're in the spirit you're uh the enemy can't touch you. That's where you are unbeatable. You're like the jiu-jitsu black belt if you're in the spirit. The enemy loses every single time. So every time he's trying to beat you up in your mind, start praising him. Start worshiping him or start speaking in tongues or start start quoting his word or start singing in the spirit. That does it every single time. He won't leave forever, but he'll leave you at that point. Just keep doing it until it's done. And don't forget to answer him with what he's beating you up with. Oh, you're no good or you'll never amount to anything. No, no, no. The word says that I'm wonderfully made. That's what it is. And start standing on some of the scriptures that God says because his word never comes back for. God says I am and there's nothing you can do about it. You're a created being. I'm a created being. He's the almighty. I do what he says. There's nothing he can say. So, just keep standing on what God says and the enemy will flee.

Last thing I'll say and I'll be quiet. pastor's got a tremendous testimony about his wife where she got really renewed and really inspired about one of his family members. And I want you to be inspired, too. Now, it's uh I think it's uh let me get my mind going here. I think it's Psalms 141, and I want to say five. Don't hold me to this if I get it wrong. It's blessed there are those that correct us. So, we want to hear correction and we want to hear in a loving way. If they beat us up, that's not correction. that's beating up and shaming us. We want to be in a loving way to lovingly say, "Well, are you sure that's the right thing?" I think if they say it peacefully, but he gave me a great testimony and I want I wish he'd share with you folks about maybe a loved one. Maybe you have a brother, a sister, a father, a mother, maybe a good brother or sister, whatever. Or maybe Pastor Tim will correct you in love in one of his future episodes. But can you share that with us? What you told me about your wife and your brother that you lost track with. Can you share that story?

>> Well, I got an older brother. He's four years older than me. Passed. He passed away in 2010 from cancer. He was a smoker and we had our disagreements in life. He was the black sheep of the family, you know. He stole from the my our parents. He not once but twice he stole our dad's car and we left the state with it and stuff of that nature. I had to finally break down and forgive him for the things that he did. And he came back at that particular time. My wife was struggling with cancer. He helped her through what he was going through. >> That's powerful. >> Which is what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to if we are going through something, there's going to be somebody else, whether it's a family member, a church member. Yes. >> Or just a friend. That's it right there. that has gone through the same thing or is going through the same thing. Go through it together. Support each other as my brother did for my wife and my wife did for my brother. He through his dealing in what he was happening with his cancer gave my wife the strength to fight her cancer for another five years. That's God working in the love in both their lives. >> Good word. Can you pray for us on that so they really get that anointing for them to receive that?

>> Amen. Father, we know that there's people out there that have been arranged from a family member for something that they did or something that they said. I just pray that they get back together and through there your love, through your mercy, they work with each other and strengthen each other as my brother and my wife did for each other. We need the strength of our loved ones. We need the power of their love to help us through whatever it is we are going through. And I just thank you and I praise you for this taking place in my wife's life, in my brother's life, and in the lives of those that are listening to this program. in your son's name. I just thank you. Amen. >> Amen.

Because of time, let me close with this thought. It's very, very important that you get his book cuz we all need a daily miracle. It says that lotus daily with benefits. Psalm 68:19. Think about that for a second. It's all for us. He has them daily for us. All we have to do is reach out and ask him. How do I know? It says it in James. All we have to do is ask. We have not because we has not. So all we have to do if we know his will, if we at least study his word. If if nothing else, at least look at the episodes. He's got over a 100 pastor. They're free. Did I mention free? All you have to do is subscribe and every time he has a new episode, your phone or tablet will ding. It's all free. But make sure you get his book this way. It's Oh, you're trying to sell the book. Go ahead. I dare you to ask me that. Yes, but it's for you. Why? Why is he selling the book? $10. Oh my god. He's going to go to the Bahamas. No, it's not for that. He's doing it for you. But you got to sew the seed. Why are you going to ask me that? You have to sew the seed because he's trying to get you. Galatians 6:7 without going into a long. One of his videos will tell you the sewing and reaping principle. But if you'll sew the seed, it'll show all good principles of sewing in God's kingdom. So when you sew the seed, God will say, "Oh, he swed some seed. That's my way of blessing him when he needs money." You see my point? I gave you the short version. But listen to what I'm saying. You want to give to good ministries that are giving out. Now, he travels a lot. He goes to different places. He wants to give the book out to everybody. We want to get in as many hands as we can so that way it's a short read. It's not, you know, the Bibles are this big. Depending a lot of people are having a hard time looking through it. It's okay. Sometimes we don't have eyes to see. Look at the disciples. They were Jesus and uh Luke, what is it? 44 uh 24:44 I think it is something like that. What's in Luke anyway is he had to open their eyes for them to understand what the scripture said. They were with Jesus. They didn't even know what it was. M >> so I I sympathize with people when I first I had an eighth grade teach reading level when I was 45 in prison. Honest to God I started reading a no idea what it is. God taught me. I stood on Proverbs 23:7. As a man thinkketh, so is he. So I believed I had a photographic memory to understand what the scriptures said and what they mean. It's the revelations that's what set you free. His revelations, not mine. >> I don't have any. The Holy Spirit has to go with you to unleash the revelations there. >> So all that said, let pastor help you understand what the teachings are. So that way you get the book, you can see what God has for you for your daily miracle, for that rent problem you have or that car problem you have or the, you know, for the kids, for your spouse, uh, you know, for your health, uh, for your relationships, on and on all of our daily lives. Let God help you. He wants so bad to give you your daily needs. He's looking for you. Oh, go ahead and ask me. Oh, God knows my needs. Yes, he does. But he's a gentleman. He's not going to do it unless you ask. So, that's why you have to say it out loud. There's two reasons. One, you ask. You say it out loud. He goes the word. Second, it puts the enemy on notice. No, God's word says and it puts him on notice. You're defeated. >> See, it's a two-fold thing. That's why you have to say it. Don't forget to s just sew anyway. You should be sewing anyway. Buy the book and sew 10, 20 bucks. But do it now. Go now before the book comes out. Start sewing the seed down now so you can show what what's we're talking about here. Sewing the seed. You'll be glad you did. And this way he start passing out books to people that are less fortunate can't some foreign countries that can't afford this. But you'll be glad you did. And watch future episodes and you'll be shocked what you can learn. And don't forget to subscribe. And don't forget comment on some of these things. Or I got healed. pastor, I learned this or I saw this or I got healed or whatever it is. Make sure so he can rejoice with you or he knows what else to teach. And like he promised when this book comes out, he's going to even go deeper key moments, >> key key is the word nuggets of what miracles that you can dig out of the Bible, what God promises for you. And it's a daily need. You watch what will happen. Till next week, the great pastor Tim, I'm Dr. Mcken. We'll see you next week on Pastoring Gun Sheep. [Music]
