Demand Your Due | Pastor John Greiner

In this powerful message, Pastor John Greiner unpacks what it truly means to make a demand on your covenant with God, not through begging or tantrums, but through confident, faith-filled expectation. Drawing from Psalm 34, John 15, and vivid stories from Scripture like the woman with the issue of blood and Peter healing at the Beautiful Gate, he reveals that healing, protection, and provision aren't promises yet to be fulfilled. They're already done. Pastor Greiner brings this ancient truth to life and shows believers how to step up, know their rights, and claim everything the blood of Jesus has already paid for.

Let's lift our Bibles up, wave them around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad. Let's say this together. Say, Heavenly Father, I'm so glad to be here today. I come with a heart ready to receive revelation of the Word of God. My faith is being built day by day. I'm going from faith to faith, from strength to strength, from glory to glory, and you get all the praise in Jesus' name. Amen. Let's look at Psalm 34, and I want to read it out of the Amplified, please, first. So I don't have my electronic Bible with me, so find sound booth. Get me Psalm 34 in the Amplified, verses 1 through 4. And then John chapter 15. I'll read in the King James. Psalm 34. Verse 1. This is a Psalm of David. Praise God. Amplified Bible, please. Psalm 34. Bring my phone. It's not quick enough, please. Oh, there it is. All right. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall occasionally be in my mouth. No, continually. My life makes its boast in the Lord. Let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. Now, this verse 4, this is what I want you to key in on. He said, I sought, I inquired of the Lord and required him of necessity and on the authority of his word, and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him and were radiant. Their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused. Isn't that good? Praise God. All right, and then in John chapter 15, verse 7, Jesus is speaking on the night before he's crucified. How many of you know he saved the most important things to tell the disciples before he was crucified? Very important things. And he said in verse 7, if you abide in me, and my words, my Rhema words, God breathed words, abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. You shall ask what you will, not what Aunt Sally wills, not what Uncle Harry wills, not what mama wills, what you will. You shall ask what you will, and it be done unto you. Herein. See, when you do that, when you get what you want, when you get what is due you, herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit. That's fruit. When you get your asking satisfied, that's fruit, and it glorifies God. So shall you be my disciples. And so, and the word ask there in verse 7, when you look it up in your concordance, yes, it does mean ask, but it also means to uh it means to uh call for, it means to require, and when you dig a little deeper, it means to demand something that is due you. To demand something that is due. So that's the title of the message today. Demand your due. Now I'm not talking about being rude to God and slamming your fist on the table and telling God, I demand. No, I'm not talking about that kind of demand, being rude. I'm talking about making a demand on the covenant. Isn't that what David was talking about in Psalm 34? He he sought the Lord and he required of the Lord out of necessity. I mean, you know, I mean, David toward the end of his life, I mean, his son Absalom raised, you know, came against him and tried to perform a coup. That's what the Democrats tried to do in 2020. I hope all of them are exposed that did that. They they tried, they did, they've successfully overthrew a due election with the help of China. And there's evidence, it's coming out. I'm telling you right now, all of this stuff was we knew it, but we couldn't prove it. Now they're proving it. I'm kind of glad they brought back the death by firing squad. But anyway, Pastor, oh well, I know. Sorry. It's just who I am and what I am. I can't help. I don't think the injection is good enough for these people. They tried to overthrow our government, tried to ruin this republic. God founded this nation as a refuge for persecuted Christians and Jews. Don't ever forget that. Don't let anybody lie to you about the origins of this nation. God allowed it. God had it. But we have a covenant backed by blood. You know, David had a covenant, but it was blacked back by bulls and goats, and at least he knew that he, on his covenant, that he could make a demand on that covenant, that he could require. He could make a case and plead his case. And I think about him crossing the Jordan barefoot and his head covered and his head bowed. When Absalom overthrew the government and drove the king out, he had to run for his life. He didn't have enough protection. He didn't have enough people on his side to protect his life. And he had to flee across the Jordan. And this guy stood on the banks of the Jordan cursing him. And he had to endure that. He said, Lord, I'm not going to judge him. Maybe he's right. Maybe that's what I just. I mean, he humbled himself. He got low. But you know what? He he said, Lord, you said that there'd be no, that you would protect me all the days of my life, that I would not want for a son to rise. And Absalom's not the son that's supposed to sit on the throne. See, he required something of his covenant. You know, the the the the Old Testament saints knew something about making a demand on the covenant that we need to find out about in our modern society. And many of us have been religiously brainwashed to think that we just have to beg and we have to just, you know, cry and blubber and throw throw a tantrum almost to get something from God. No, we got to know what's due us. Are you with me now? So we've got standing before God based on our better covenant. Hebrews 8:6. I mean, we have a better covenant founded upon better promises. If David can require of God, we can require of God. Or more accurately, we can require of the covenant. Because God's already uttered it all. I said, He's already uttered all of the things that we need. You know, yeah, God promised to heal me. No, he didn't promise to heal you. He's already healed you. A promise is future, a promise is got to yet be fulfilled. But no, the Bible says that we were, by whose stripes we were healed. So it's already been done. It's your healing is sitting there in an account ready for you to make a demand on it. I had a guy who bought a house from in West You and he wanted a bunch of changes. He wanted a bunch of colors, you know, and he wanted a bunch of revamps in the kitchen. And I hate, you know, I just hated doing that. I mean, the house is finished. I got to come back with all my subs and remodel a finished house. I mean, I hated doing it, but I needed to sell the house. But I told him, I said, look, in order for us to close, we're gonna have to close. If you don't close within 45 days, I'm gonna start charging you lots of money. Because I've got the meter running on my construction loan. And if we're gonna close on time, I've got to get started tomorrow on all these changes that you want, and you're gonna have to pay me in advance, non-refundable. You're gonna have to write me a check right now for$30,000. He blinked and then he pulled out his checkbook and wrote me a check for$30,000. My company. My company. And so, you know, I had to go to his bank. And it says on the check, pay on demand, John Griner's company. I won't give you the name of the company because I don't want you Google searching it. But it was a good name. God gave me a good name. So anyway, I, you know, it's written out to my company, pay on demand. I'm the pay E. And the guy that signed it is the pay or. And he's he's telling the bank when this check is presented at the teller, you pay the man. I make a demand by simply putting the check down, and I put my driver's license down. Well, you know, my driver's license is not any good. It's not made out to John Griner, it's made out to my company. But I put my card down. John Griner, president of my company. And, you know, really, they shouldn't have honored it because they should have required me to bring my corporate papers, and I should have had to have sealed it with a corporate seal. They didn't do all that. I mean, I I think I got a dumbo for a teller, but God picked out the right teller for me to get my money. And I mean to tell you, I did not throw a tantrum, I did not cry, I didn't raise my voice, I didn't lay on the floor and kick and have a temper tantrum. I just simply presented the check. And they simply wrote me a cashier's check. I went to the bank on which it was drawn. See, I didn't just go to my bank, I went to his bank, where the money is. And I made that demand, and I got, and and not cash, I got a cashier's check, which I promptly took to my bank. And I mean, I get instant credit, 30K, went right in there, and I started able to finish all the bods that he had and purple bedrooms and everything else that I couldn't sell to anybody else. See, I knew he wasn't walking away from this deal. See, I made a demand. Are y'all with me? That's the way it is. I mean, we can make a demand on our covenant of what is due us. Demand your due. Our faith ought to make demands. We ought to demand that the devil take his hands off. Quit begging God to do something about the devil. You demand the devil yourself. You've got power over him. I think about Peter and John the gate, beautiful there in Acts chapter 3. They were going to the temple an hour of prayer, and they passed by this uh beggar, and he was lame, above 40 years old, the Bible says, lame from his mother's womb, lame all his life. And you know, a person like that is in that condition, their legs are shriveled up. I mean, they don't have normal legs because they've never used them. They don't have normal bones, they don't have normal knees and ankles and feet. None of that is normal because why? They've been lame all their life. And he is a certified beggar by the temple. You could, you could, you could uh fulfill your obligation to give alms. If you gave him money, you could use that and say, you know, I'm fulfilling my obligation to the temple of giving alms. See, Jews had to tithe, they had to give alms, they had to, they had to have all these different sacrifices they had to give to. Peace offerings, sin offerings, trespass offerings. I mean, you name it. They are giving, giving, giving all the time. And so uh, you know, he, you know, Peter said, look on us. And so the man looked on them and thought that he was going to receive something from them. And Peter says, Silver and gold have we done. I've got some, but I'm not got why I'm here. I'm not gonna give you anything. I'm gonna give you something better. Such as I have, give I they. Aren't you glad he knew he had something? In the name, see, we sang about that name. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. Notice he didn't pray along. Prayer he didn't go through. Now, Lord, make his knee whole, Lord, help his ligaments to stretch and get his muscles. No, he just said, in the name of Jesus, rise up and walk. And he didn't move fast enough, so Peter grabbed him by the hand. And when he grabbed him, that completed a circuit. And I mean the anointing in Peter went into that man. And that man leaping up, immediately leaping up, received strength in his feet and ankle bones. And he went walking and limping into the no, he went walking and leaping and praising God into the temple. He wasn't limping, he he was he was leaping. Glory to God. Peter knew what was due this man being a child uh, you know, of the covenant. He's a Jewish man. He has a right to be healed. Uh, the devil has no right to keep him lame. Thank God, even though the man that doesn't mention his faith, but I'm telling you, Peter had all the faith that was needed for that man to come up. He made a demand. He made a demand on the covenant on behalf of the lame man. And of course, 5,000 men got saved. They witnessed that miracle, and now I mean the Peter starts preaching. If 5,000 men got saved, there must have been 20,000 people. Men and women and children. And so uh it was it was amazing, you know, just making a demand on the covenant caused there to be a harvest of soul. I mean, the church gets a hold of this. I mean, you won't be to stop people from coming to church. They want to go where you're going. They want to find out what you know, they want to find out how you do the things that you do. It's what happened to me. Man, when that woman and her husband prayed over me and changed my life, I wanted to go where they went to church. In Mark chapter 5, let's look at that real quick, talking about make it a demand. Demand your due. In Mark chapter 5, the woman with the issue of blood, verse 25, a certain woman which had an issue of blood 12 years. Everybody say 12 years. I mean, she's hemorrhaging from her body for 12 years. You know she's got to be anemic. You know that there's probably got all kinds of associated uh infirmities and sicknesses associated with blood loss, and fact, and then it goes on to say, and she had uh suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had was nothing better, but rather grew worse. I mean, you know, what would they do back then? They would bleed you. Here, you know, let me cut you, bleed into the cup, that'll be 50 bucks. I mean, she just spent everything she had trying to get better, and she wasn't getting better, she's getting worse, she's losing blood, and then she's losing blood. 12 years. Everybody say 12 years. I mean, I don't know how long you've been going through something, but I it doesn't matter how long it's been. I mean, things can turn around when you start making the demand. But you gotta know what's due. So she'd suffered many things. And so, verse 27, when she'd heard of Jesus, came in the press behind and touched his garment. For she said, my amplified says she uh continually said. See, she she had a systematic discourse, she didn't just say it once, she kept saying it. Every step she took on the road from her house to where Jesus was, I shall be whole. I shall be whole. If I can just touch the hem of his garment. I was meditating on this the other day, and I thought to myself, where did she get that? Touch the hem of his garment. How did she know to say that? And sure enough, in Matthew 14, it talks about how that they brought multitudes that were sick, that had infirmity, and as many as touched the hem of Jesus' garment were made whole. So when she heard of Jesus by this person, this unnamed person that was witnessing to her, when they when she heard about Jesus, she heard about the healing Jesus. She heard about the Jesus that's the Messiah, she heard about the Jesus who healed a multitude by simply people touching the hem of his garment. Are y'all getting this now? Glory to God. So I heard Brother Hagin say, you know, you know, she she came, she said, she she touched, and she told. You know? She came, see, faith, she had to come, she had to say something. She had to actually do it, touch, or receive. And then what she had to tell. Jesus said, Who touched me? Who did this? I did it, and she told him all the truth. So she testified. She testified in front of that whole crowd. Her whole, that's how the Bible knows all of her history, because she told it to that crowd and told it to Jesus. Jesus didn't know who it was. He said, Who touched me? Who touched me? Because he felt what? Virtue or dunamis go out of him. He felt dunamis leave him. Who touched me? Who made a demand on my anointing? She made a demand on his anointing, or you could say, without, you know, any any problem, she made a demand on her covenant. By touching the hem of his garment. And he felt virtue or power or dunamis go out of him, and she felt in her body she was whole of that plague. She was made whole of that plague. Glory to God. Come on, lift your hand right now. I mean, it was just as easy as me cashing that check that day. I mean, there was no, I mean, she just had, and they were thronging Jesus. People were just around him like that, so that's why she had to get down on her hands and knees and crawl over to him. And some people won't even drive across the street and go where the anointing is to get help. But no, I'm telling you, we've got something great here. We've got something, we've got an atmosphere here. And so Jesus just said, you know, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And now he didn't talk about his power, but it was a combination of his power and her faith that demanded, made a demand on that power. I tell you, there's power in the covenant that we have. She had the blood of bulls and goats. That was her covenant. But we've got the blood of Jesus. How much more should we stand up and make a demand on that covenant? Glory to God. Praise God. I've told this story many times, but I'm going to say it again because we have new people and I haven't heard it. I was uh building houses in West U. Talk to you a little bit about that house. It was that same house that somebody came into before this buyer showed up. And it was finished. If the house is finished, you know, and it's it's it's expensive to pay the interest on that thing. I mean, the interest on that loan is about$3,500 a month. Just the interest. And so, you know, I'm eager to sell it. So this couple comes by and they look through the house, and and I thought maybe I had a live one, but no, they had a lot out in the countryside near Rosenberg out in the Styx. And they as an acre lot, and they weren't, they were interested in having a custom home built on it. They had a set of plans they had with them. And you know, I didn't really want to do it, but I needed the money. I I needed cash flow. I mean, I'm stuck here, I got a house finished, and no money's coming in. And so I I've got to do whatever's necessary for my business, you know. So I I looked at the plans and and I said, Well, you know, you don't have any specs, so we'll use this house as a specs. I'll bid this job and I'll give you an estimate, but I'm not bidding it. I'm gonna do it cost plus, and I think we arrived at 12%. My cost plus 12. I said, 12's a deal. I mean, you know, that's a deal. I'm doing it because I need the cash flow. And they were both engineers, and they kind of, you know, scratched their head, and eventually we signed the deal, and I and I and I started the house. Cash plus 12%. And so it was 57 miles from my house in spring to that job site. And I was driving an 86 Oldsmobile. 98. And this was probably about 1991, so it's not that old, but it's got 270,000 miles on it. And it's got 130,000 miles on an overhauled engine and transmission, which means the next time it breaks down, it's going to go to the crusher. Okay? I mean, here these financial guys say, well, drive a beater until you can afford better. Well, you know, I don't believe in that. I believe in driving something that will get you to where you need to go because it risks your life for something to break down on the side of the road today. I mean, you can die on the side of the road. People do die in Houston every day on the side of the road. They either get hit or they get carjacked or something. Let's believe God that you have something dependable to drive instead of a beater. But anyway. So I had this, I knew, I knew what was going to happen. This car is going to break down on me on these country roads. There's no place to go. I'm going to have to call a wrecker. That's going to cost a fortune. Where are they going to haul it? They're going to haul it to the junkyard, I guess. Then what? See, I can't afford to fix it. I've already fixed it. And there's no more fixing something like that. It just wasn't back then. I mean, one time the the fuel pump went out. And I was at a meeting. I was doing, I was speaking at a meeting, and I went out to start my car, and it was in Seely or no, Columbus. I started the car, I tried to start it, me, meh, meh, meh, meh, it wouldn't start. And so Frank Jedgick had to tie on to me and try and talk and haul me down I-10 all the way to the to the mechanic shop. And he called me and said, Oh, it's just a fuel pump. I said, Well, what that's going to cost? Well, the fuel pump is located inside the gas tank. It's going to cost you$375. I mean, you know, general motors ought to be sh, you know. Go get out of business. You design something so ridiculous that put a fuel pump inside the fuel tank. But anyway, I'd already had it with that car. So I told the Lord, I said, Lord, now I'm going to make a demand on my covenant. See, thank God I knew something about the Bible back then. I said, now, Lord, and see what am I doing? I'm making a case. I'm pleading my case. The word plead does not mean beg, it means to make a legal case. I'm making my legal case based on his word. His word said in Genesis that every seed reproduces after its own kind. Just ask James. I mean, James gave a watermelon away and got a whole truckload of watermelon. If you don't want any watermelons, don't give any away. But I had given cars away. I remember the first time it happened, there was at Lakewood, there's a family, big family, a bunch of kids and everything, and the guy's car broke down, and you know, Dotie said something about praying for him, and the Lord, I had just bought a brand new Honda Civic four-door sedan. It was the first when they first came out with a four-door sedan. And it's it was so quiet, I couldn't, I'd I'd mess the starter up. I'd I'd get in it and then it was running, and I didn't think it was running, and I'd try to start it. It was just quiet, it was smooth. And so I gave it to them. I didn't give it to them, but I I loaned it to them. I said, now y'all take it, get the pressure off till you get your finances. Well, they kept it six months. They put 20,000 miles on it. For Maypops. What's a Maypop? Well, it's a tire that may pop at any moment. And so I got it back, you know, 20,000 miles. It was a brand new car with a new car smell. I got it back and it was not new, new anymore. Too many trips through the uh Whataburger line. So I I brought that up. I said, no, you know, I gave that, I gave the use of that car. That was that was a lot of money. I said, you know, you you you told me to give my 40 Cadillac to Lakewood. I did that. And why and when I did it, I I put four brand new white white white sidewall, wide white sidewall coker tires on it. I had the carburetor overhauled from a place in New Jersey, sent it back, and it ran brand, you know, it just started right up, ran like a brand new car. I had even had the push-button radio repaired. I I had a push-button radio 1940 that worked. And I gave it because the Lord, see, had a He made a demand on our covenant. He wanted me to give. See, the covenant's two ways. Sometimes He will add, He will urge you to give. And so I reminded him that I had sown seed. And I gave another car one time, a van. And so I said, now, Lord, you know, I gave these cars. So I've got cars coming. I don't need but one. I knew better than to go down the list and and order a car like I'm filling out an order sheet. Now, God, I want it to be yellow and I want it to have, you know, all these conditions. I said, God, I don't care what kind of car. I don't care what style of car. I just need a car that will get me there and back without breaking down. It's got to last me at least through this, through this construction, and really beyond that, Lord, I, you know, I just need something dependable. And I just believe I receive it right now. I'm demanding on our covenant. I know I've, I know, I know it's the wheels are turning right now. Thank you, Lord. And really, I'll be honest, I forgot about it. I quit, I, I, you know, I just got involved in that project and driving that car. I mean, one day I turned on Luetta Road, and and I mean, I thought the glory of God had fallen on me, and no, it was the headliner, and the headliner all turned loose. Almost wrecked the car trying to get pushed the headliner up where I could see. You think I'm joking, but I'm not joking. Don't talk to me about driving a beater. It was beating me, is what it was. It was beating me. About a month later, the phone rings, and a good friend of mine, he's a young man, and he had at one of those meetings I was talking about, in fact, I think it was that same one where my car broke, he had come up on the platform and after after it was over with and said he really enjoyed the message, and God told him to give me give you this, and he gave me a$3,500 motor roller flip phone. You know, back then cell phones were expensive and sell and sell uh usage with, I mean, you buy this the minutes, it cost a fortune. And I was I had a I had a cell phone all right, but it looked like a phone, like a like a big old thing, about this big, weighed about 10 pounds, had a handle on it. And this thing was just this big, flip it open. I was amazing. He's and so he gave me that phone, man. I thought, wow. And so then, so he would call and he would come to town and visit. And so one day he called and he said, uh, listen, I I've got a situation that's happened. He said, the Lord, you know, I heard this voice. I want you to give your car. And uh I just ignored it. And uh and it came again. I want you to give this car. And he said, I can't, the devil get out of here. I'm not giving this car, it's the only car I've got. I've got to have it to drive myself to school. He was winding up some classes at a college and working part-time. And about that time he uh he he cut lanes to get and an 18-wheeler hit him in the back door of his pastor's side, dented the door. He said, Golly. He was fussing about it, and he said, I told you to give the car. I devil, I told you to leave me alone. The next day a rock flew up, broke his windshield. What's going on, God? What's going on? How come my car? He said, I told you to give the car. And he said, and he's telling me this story on the phone. I'm kind of trying not to laugh. And he said, you know, so I said, God, you're gonna have to give me a sign. You're gonna have to give me chapter and verse. This can't be right. I don't have another car. What am I gonna do? Matthew 16, 4, just like that. And man, I mean, he got so excited. He drove as fast as he could to his apartment, went upstairs, busted through the door, opened his Bible, Matthew 16, 4. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and no sign shall be given it save the sign of the prophet Jonah. He said, so, and I and I'm I had to laugh by that time. So he said, so I have a I have a question for you. He said, Shall I fix the door and the windshield before I give it? I said, Well, would you give God a one-eyed lamb? He said, I thought you'd say that. He told me to give it to you. I said, Oh no, no, no. But he did. He fixed that door$1,300. He fixed that windshield another$300 and gave me an 81 Mercedes diesel, five-cylinder diesel that I put$130,000,$130,000. It was$164,000 when I got it,$300,000 when I got rid of it. He went to the crusher. Are y'all with me now? I'm talking about making a demand. I mean, I I didn't even remember me making the demand. I just, in fact, I really didn't do right. I should have been praising God every day for that car, but I didn't. But I sure praised him after it showed up. Oh, come on, lift your hand right now. Glory to God. See, Jesus said, give and it shall be given unto you. Good measure, pressed down, shaven together, running over, shall God give unto your bosom. Is that what it's saying? No, I mean, healing has already been given and healing is between you and God. Healing is already a finished fact. Deliverance is a finished fact. Protection, you already have angels, it's a finished fact. You don't need to ask for protection. You claim it. You appropriate it by faith. You don't, oh God, give me traveling mercies. Oh, please don't let this airplane fall out of the. No, you don't pray like that. You say, Thank God, angels around this airplane. But now, when you have financial and material needs, they are aware. They are here on earth and they're in the hands of men. So then when you give, God gives you favor in the heart of somebody somewhere. He'll start dealing with that person. Sometimes he'll send angels, sometimes he'll send the whole. If it's a believer, the Holy Ghost can speak to that person. And you know, the reason I wasn't more specific about what kind of car I wanted is because I knew that God was going to be limited by someone's obedience. I mean, as you go asking for a Cadillac and start asking for a brand new this and a brand new that when all you need is something reliable, whether you're you might wait a long time. Because he's got to find a willing vessel. And you know what? He found a willing vessel and a guy that already had a relationship with. He wasn't willing at first, but he got willing. You know, he's driving two car vets now. He's CFO of a big corporation now. He's doing pretty good now after 40 years later. Are y'all with me now? Some things are some things, you know, you you have a crop right away, and other things take a while to grow. Is this helping anybody? So uh financial and and material uh needs are in the hands of man, and so you know, you've got to realize that God's got to move on somebody. God can move on your old unrighteous boss to give you a raise when there's not one uh ready. He can move on people to hire you when you're looking for a job. He can move. I'm telling you, God can move in this realm in the area of finances and material needs if you understand your covenant. But you don't have to demand healing because healing belongs to you. You demand what? The devil, take your hands off. You ask God, what's my way of escape in this situation? What do I do? Do I go the medical route or not? Are y'all with me now? So the covenant is everything Jesus paid for. You know, he didn't make a promise of healing, it's already done. And uh there's no promise of provision. It's already been provided, and it lays in the hands of man, so that's where you've got to get his help to help give you favor. Everybody say, I've got favor. And uh and so then uh you make a demand on the covenant in Jesus' name. In fact, in Revelation 19, 13, as we ran, we sang that beautiful song about the name of Jesus. In Revelation 19, 13, it says, His name is called the Word of God. Everything that's in the Word of God is wrapped up in that name. I tell you, when you come to Him and you plead your case in that name, when you bring to Him His Word, He loves you to bring to Him His Word. Has He forgotten it? No, but He wants to make sure you remember it. He wants to make sure you know your legal rights, and He is delighted to meet those demands. In John 14, 14, I want to read to you out of the literal Greek. If you this is Jesus talking, just two chapter before this one. He said it to his disciples, if you ask anything in my name and I don't have it, I'll make it for you. If you ask anything in my name and I don't have it, I'll make it for you. Oh, I tell you, what a God we have. Let's demand our due. Come on, lift your hand right now. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Everybody say, I'm demanding my due. Not in a rude fashion, but I know what's due me. I'm not gonna settle for anything less than what the blood has paid for. Come on, let's rejoice this morning. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Man, I mean, wow. You know, you just learned something. I just delight, I delight in the word. You know what? When you're thrilled with the word, it'll work for you. When you get thrilled, see, we get thrilled with all kinds of things. We get thrilled with a first round draft pick, or we get thrilled with a home run. We get thrilled with a lot of things. But when you get thrilled with the word of God, when you find out what it really means to you, oh, I'm telling you, it'll work for you every time.
