economy the country is going down the hill and all those things what happened all over the world is that only in the united states but all over the world we heard about bad news things what's happening right now in the wor of god actually or saying about those things is going to happen in the latest days so many earthquakes so many devastation so many things is happening and this year i believe will be a lot of devastation coming and heard i don't know which part of the  would be but it is just the beginning of sorrow exactly how the bible says and that's why we have to be willing to come closer to the lord because the bible says the righteous the lord will the liber him  trouble when he will be in trouble the lord will the liver him exactly houses in south forty one and that's why we need to stay closer to the power of the word of god today i don't want to talk to you about the king solomon you know was not ready to build up the temple but he was preparing the material and the finances and everything goes to be able for his son solomon to build a temple  david when to be with the lord solomon begin his building his temple and the first thing what he did before he started building the temple he brought before the lord my father and have made me king in this place now more lord god let your promise to die with my father be established for you have made me king over a people like th father of solomon prepare for him all the needed and also he so and his father so many good things about being enough for him before the lord coming before the lord another with the empty handed many times the lord touch does it because david because of the sacrifice of what he brought the before the lord and king solomon knew that and he knew it if i bring before the lord a sacrifice something which are going to cost me the lord will be pleased but he never aspected god to show himself to him and because he never asked for riches or long life or the or the dead of the his enemy or to be honor and all these things he ask only for with them the lord give him everything us about this and what i want to say about these things is how important is to come with that open heart or know nothing to be attached to our offering many of us we come and we are touched england i say lord if i bring you before you i want you to come and appear to me or the law or please if you are if i want to give you sacrifice you can see this is something which i which i do it over my capacity and i want you to come to answer my prayer the lord wants us to bring it freely before the lord he said whoever other me but if you go to the next chapters you can see how solomon build a temple and then when he finished building the temple because i don't know how long it was taking that was taking several years to build a temple and that time the lord already prepare solomon bring him so much riches so much glory so much gold and silver all over the world kings and queens seven solomon dedicate the temple after he finished his temple he dedicated temples to the lord and i think was the time of the feast of the tabernacle because in that time they have to celebrate seven days and every and all the people they brought sacrifice before the lord solomon himself because of the riches and glory what he he brought before the lord so much offering and i think was taking several days for people to help just to bring that after him before the lord let me give you the counting  chapter seven says king solomon after the sacrifice of twenty two thousand bulls and one hundred twenty thousand ship so the king and all the people d god and i was looking here to this to another bible says twenty two thousand x an hour or twenty two thousand bulls if you sell it for three hundred twenty five dollars each is seven million one hundred and fifty thousand dollars one hundred twenty thousand ships if we sell it only with twenty dollar each but i now they are double is two million four hundred thousand dollars altogether was nine million five hundred fifty thousand dollars and those days i think was like twenty years ago this price think about almost ten million dollars an hour for him he brought it before the lord because he was before the lord to honor the lord because he receives so much then i remember a story man asked one time his pastor and said how much i should honor the lord and the pastoral saying to him very sincerely said you should ask for the tide you should honor the lord your first fruit and everything as you do you pay him ten percent and this man was making a hundred dollars a week and here every week he came to the church with ten dollar and put enough for him and he was happy and several months later he received an increase in his paycheck and he made it like two hundred our week then he make a three hundred dollars a week there was a time for a couple of years when he went through he made a like ten thousand dollar a month and this time he call one time he went he came to the to the  pastor i have a problem here i said what is what is your problem well i i make ten thousand dollars this week this month and i have to write a check for a thousand dollars look like a lot of money the check for a thousand dollars and the pastor said is no problem coming off with this let's have a prayer together and they kneel before the lord and the pastor's son praying with a loud voice say lord jesus please reverse the pay of this man and give him a hundred dollars a week like he received before i didn't have any problem to pay ten percent when he said that prayer is meant stopping you say no no no don't pray anymore why i don't want to go back to four hundred dollars a month i want to remain with ten thousand dollars a month is no problem i can pay a taliban dollar and this is how god is looking to us god for god is no value how much world they brought him so much silver and gold and all those things he he brought to him and he didn't look to that he looked to be able to honor the father other god the father and think about will teach jacob who teach all those people to give ten percent to the lord was the hard as been attached to heaven and the important thing is what i believe today and what the lower part of my heart is the beginning of this year is the people where is their heart that touched to many of us wanted don't have anything and we have no problem to give it to the lord how many believe that we don't have anything if somebody gave you ten dollars no problem for you to put a dollar in africa when somebody gave you a salary for maybe two hundred dollars a week is no problem to put twenty dollars there when your pay is getting crease us to under him and he wants us to see where is our heart what is your heart a touch with because the second time on solomon did this he sacrifice this was the first thing what god told him said i chose this place for myself to be for god sacrificed how many of us i was able to do this business and he forget all about only don't have anything and he asked the lord to bless us and this is where the lord teach us in this and this and this scripture because when the god appeared to him says i chose this place for myself as a house of sacrifice when i showed up to heaven and there is no rain are all commend the locus to devour the land or send earthquake when you see that things happening around you all the devastation the twisted and hurricane and you name it and the latest days will be so many devastation in never we imagine in our and nothing to distract us nothing to what to be attached to us this is what the verse is for you and for me and this is what says if my people will pray number one will humble themselves my people will humble themselves in order in order for us to accept nothing come from us and everything is coming from god in order for us to themselves the older lovers of money love are themselves with other words many people there be a touch more about the earthly things in themselves than the kingdom of god and that's why we have to humble  the opportunity when i came in this country almost thirty three thirty four years ago i remember i saw myself as an opportunity to be able to serve god in the beginning my heart was starting getting tough attached to the things around me and i started working hard as are making decisions i have a business i have another business i work two jobs and i start building for myself a future and always the enemy all telling me allies are you building not for yourself you're building for your children the lord give me three children one after another and i started gaining the same tots like the rest of the people which was ren till one day the lord spoke to me and says where is your heart attached to well lord i gave from romania escape from the communist country with one thought in my mind to do god's will and to serve the living god i escape from persecution or escape from freedom of religion i xscape from freedom of praying and having meetings and and have that freedom of speech and very easy i could get in paying of with the things around me because the people can really influence you now remember in eighty seven one hundred eighty seven the lord spoke to my wife was answering to we persist i don't know we have just heard from the lord to move and away he will show us where to establish the ministry and many people which the lord given to us and even now in this ministry doesn't belong to us belong to the lord this year actually celebrate twenty years since we started our program for the first time in the air and a permanent spot every week at least once or twice a week on a certain cable right now we are extended in many places and many cavers here in the state also we do this program and to language in english and romanian lang we we cover almost a million people every week in the euro whatever romanian they are and every week we receive telephone calls from people wish to give their life to the lord because of obedience and willingness to humble ourselves what is the importance of humility c i was not even planning to talk about in this in september of two thousand and twelve john had the opportunity to fly to this part of romania with the hopes of reaching out to this forgotten city after spending a few days here he was compelled to return again with a message of hope to shine county is  north eastern most point in romania making it also one of the pulls of work is scarce and the fight for survival isn't real winter temperatures here can range from eight to twenty four degrees fahrenheit difficult to survive and christmas time is no exception this is where you and i come in our mission was to bring a smile to the face of these children who are in them and then we put two boxes of raisins in each package a bar of chocolate and then dad and a and a teddy bear that's how we create these packages and when to greet each and every one of them like this by hand and then we hand this to distribute them to the kids necessary you know kosher state pantry needs that they need to have to survive if they're trapped or if they don't have anything so this will make a difference for them and in the winter months especially now when they're trapped in their homes you have been the biggest part of this operation and we think god for you with your financial help and your prayers and support we were able to reach the least of these just as we see in matthew twenty five forty without you and your generosity this would have never been possible we even give god the glory for protecting us during the blizzard we encountered on a way back from the dead even after trying to keep warm an r v and for over twenty four hours our team  we know now it was only the protection of the almighty
