He saw this man he 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.120 hadn't seen in a long long time and pulled him 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.679 to the side and says, sir, you need to join 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.160 the Army of the Lord. The men said, what are 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.560 you talking about. I'm in the Army of the Lord. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.000 The pastor said, well, how come I only see you 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.480 on Easter and Christmas. The man whispered back, I'm in 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.880 the secret Service. Say it like you mean it. This 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.120 is my Bible. I am what it says. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:34.519 I am. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.400 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.040 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.919 taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.360 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:52.560 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.560 to talk to you today about supernatural provision. When we 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.800 look at our circumstances, sometimes we don't see how we 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.800 can get ahead and how we can accomplish our dreams, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.240 how we can own and not just rent or how 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.239 we can leave an inheritance to our grandchildren, like the 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:14.480 scripture says, with inflation, gas prices higher, food costing more. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.400 In the natural, we may not see away. But God 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.960 is a supernatural God. When we come to the end 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.720 of our resources, he steps in and says, I'll make 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.000 streams in the desert. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.280 I'll take five loaves. 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.440 And two fish and multiply them to feed thousands. When 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.960 Peter didn't have money to pay his taxes, Jesus told 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.320 him to go to the lake. The first fish he 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.520 caught had two coins in it, enough to pay his 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.760 in Jesus taxes. God was showing us that he has 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.160 supernatural provision. He's not limited by what you don't have. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.960 He's not limited by how you were raised, the family. 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:55.640 You come from. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.840 There may be lack, struggle, barely get by, that's how 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.880 it been, but you've been raised up to break that 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.080 negative cycle. You're the one that's going to come out 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.760 of not enough into more than enough. God is not 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.560 a git by God, He's an overflow God. Don't live 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.640 with a lack of mentality, not enough, limited mindset, have 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.000 an abundant mentality. I will lend and not borrow. My 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.680 cup runs over. Because I honor God. I live under 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.400 the open windows of heaven. Blessings I cannot contain. You 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.719 have to prosper in your mind before you'll prosper in 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.760 your circumstances. You have to give God permission to bless you. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.760 Are you in agreement with what he wants to do, 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.000 or you thinking you're stock. I've never seen prices this high, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.360 and I don't see how I could ever get out 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.720 of this neighborhood. The economy, the stock market. It has 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.520 me so worried. You're looking at everything in the natural. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.880 You have to realize God is supernatural. The good news 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:03.000 is he's not a down year. He's not scratching his head. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:03.560 Thank it. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.000 I didn't see inflation coming. This pandemic threw me off. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.599 I'm worried about my four one k No. God owns 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.960 it all. He makes streets out of gold. You are 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:14.720 connected to. 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.279 A supply line that will never run. Drive. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.279 The economy may go up or down, but that's not 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.000 your source. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.200 God is your source. 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.360 And yes, we're grateful for our jobs, grateful for employment, 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.480 a good boss. But God is not dependent on those things. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.680 He has provision in your future that is beyond your 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:40.719 normal salary, beyond your training, beyond your experience. He's not 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.680 looking at what people look at, the qualifications, the talent. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:46.320 He's looking at your heart. 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.080 He sees how faithful you are, how you always keep 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.479 him first place, how you have a desire to help others, 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.440 to build the kingdom, a dream to accomplish what seems 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.960 over your head. That's when God will step in and 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.080 show you supernatural provision. Open doors you never dream, but 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:10.280 open bring income resources, contracts that will thrust you further 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.120 than you've ever imagined. Which all this sounds good, but 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.080 my boss doesn't give me any credit. My bills are 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.440 out pacing my income. I take one step forward and 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:21.440 two steps back. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.120 I don't think I'll ever have abundance. Let me give 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:24.560 you a key. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.279 If you have a poor mouth, you're going to have 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.599 a poor life. God wants to show you supernatural increase, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.560 but you can cancel it out with a negative tongue. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.680 Your words can speak death or they can speak life. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.800 You can speak lack or you can speak abundance. You 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.800 can speak not enough or you can speak more than enough. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.719 Psalm thirty five says, let them continually say, Let the 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.839 Lord be magnified, who takes pleasure in the prosperity of 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:55.600 his children. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.320 They were supposed to. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.880 Go around continually saying God, God takes pleasure in prospering me. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.159 God knew if they started talking negative, lack, not enough, 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.920 they would have a limited mindset. They would have never 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.360 seen the blessing, the favor, the abundance that he had 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.840 in store. Every time you're attempted to talk about what 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.040 you don't have, how you can accomplish the dream. 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:22.080 Turn it around. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.520 Father, Thank you that you take pleasure in prospering me. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.840 I may not see how, but I know you have 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.040 supernatural provision, supernatural increase. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.440 You're not limited by what limits me. Luke Chapter five. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.760 Jesus was at the Sea of Galilee and there were 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.360 so many people crowded around. He asked Peter if he 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.400 could borrow his boat to teach the people. He'd never 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.480 met Peter, but Peter agreed. He pushed out from the 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.000 shore and talked. When he was finished, he told Peter 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.080 to launch back out into the deep and he would 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.840 catch a great haul of fish. Well, Peter had fished 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.600 all night and caught nothing. He was a professional fisherman. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.320 He knew when to fish, where to fish. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.680 Jesus was a teacher, a rabbi. I'm sure he thought, 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.160 who is he telling me how to fish? He should 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.160 stick to teaching and I'll stick to fishing. He said, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.280 in the fact, Jesus, this doesn't make sense to me. Nevertheless, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.480 at your word, I'm going to do it. He went 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.040 out and caught so many fish that his net began 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.520 to break. He had to call another boat over. They 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.600 were both so loaded down that they were about to sink. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.920 What's interesting is there were no fish there a couple 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.640 of hours before. They had fished all night. But God 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:46.160 controls the fish. He knows where your provision is and 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.800 he knows how to get it to you. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.800 May not make sense, may not. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.600 Be logical what you were expecting. God likes to do 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.920 things out of the ordinary, uncommon, so you'll know it 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.840 was the hand of God. Peter let Jesus borrow his boat. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.120 That was his business, his source of income. He could 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.080 have said, Jesus, I'm busy, I'm tired. I don't know 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.439 you go find another boat, But he gave his resource 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.840 to Jesus. He was generous. This was symbolic of putting 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:22.320 God first place. Proverb says, honor the Lord with your 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.640 income and the first fruits of all your crops. Then 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.320 he will fill your barns with abundance, and your vats 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:35.000 will overflow. If you're going to see supernatural provision, you 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.000 have to be a giver. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:38.000 Honor God with. 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:42.120 Your first fruits, the first part of your income. Invite 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.600 him into your business. If you worn't forty hours a week, 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.720 give him your first fruits. God, you can use my 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.240 boat these first four hours. I'm giving you this income. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.120 When you let God use your boat, you're setting yourself 0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:01.000 up for overflow, for abundance. We think the opposite, Joel, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.840 if I give, I'm gonna have less. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:04.920 No, that's a seed you're sowing. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.120 You can't give God something without him giving you more 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:09.959 back in return. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.360 Peter on the boat, but God on the sea. God 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:15.760 controls the universe. 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.240 When you let him use your boat, he'll cause the 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.360 fish to find you. He'll cause contracts, opportunities, good breaks 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:25.439 to track you down. 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:27.520 The scripture says. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.880 When you give, it will be given back to you, 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.679 but not in the same measure, pressed down, shaking together, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:34.720 running over. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.400 That's the way. Our God is a net breaking god. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.360 It's significant that When Peter met Jesus for the first time, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.679 he had just fished all night and caught nothing. His 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.520 mindset was lack, scarcity, not enough, and Jesus was about 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.000 to choose Peter to become his first disciple. He could 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.520 have thanked him for letting him use the boat. He said, 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.720 I want you to come be my disciple. But Jesus 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:05.160 didn't want Peter to have that limited mindset associated with him, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.079 so Jesus told him to go back into the deep. 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.760 He caught so many fish that his net began to 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.800 break when he came to the shore. That's when Jesus said, Peter, 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.600 from now on, you're going to become a fisher of men. Now, 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:25.199 Peter's mindset was abundance, overflow, more than enough. That's the 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.559 mentality Jesus wanted him to have, not a fisher of men, 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.640 barely getting by, never catch anything. Can't accomplish my dream. 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.040 Go have a different mindset. You may have seasons where 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.960 you caught nothing, but that is not your destiny. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:42.600 Abundance is coming. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.880 God has some net breaking blessings in your future. You 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.760 couldn't make it happen. You fished all night. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:50.360 And caught nothing. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.520 You did your best, worked hard, honor God, but you 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.840 still came up empty. Your time is coming. God is 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:03.880 directing those fish right now. He's lining up supernatural provision 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:05.640 something you've never seen. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:06.959 Boats sinking. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.640 Blessings increase that not only affects you, but spills over 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.040 to your children and grandchildren. You're going to have to 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.119 call some other boats to take in all the overflow, 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:23.000 David said, my cup runs over. God's going to bless 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.040 you to where future generations will get the runover. 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.160 Your family line will be. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.439 Blessed because you honored God. You had an abundant mentality. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:37.280 God entrusted you with net breaking blessings. I talk to 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.240 a woman that works in commercial real estate and she 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.120 does it part time. Her main focus was to raise 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.200 her children. She volunteers at the church, very faithful. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:47.400 A friend of. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.200 Hers had a large piece of property right on the 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.040 main freeway that he wanted to sell. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.360 He's a high powered businessman. 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.400 He could have called his attorneys to sell it or 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.640 hired a leading real estate company. 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.120 Instead, he called this woman and listed it with her. 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.200 He wasn't in a big hurry to sell the property, 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.920 and it sat there year after year, and she kept 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.280 raising the price from several million dollars to twelve million to. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:14.320 Over twenty million. 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.439 People told her it would never sell for that much, 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.640 that she was wasting her time. But not long ago, 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.440 a large company came in and wanted to purchase the property. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.280 They were this huge brand offices all over the world. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.160 She thought the owner would want to bring his legal 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.160 team to lead the negotiations, but he said, no. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.120 You're in charge. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.280 She wasn't skilled in negotiating large contracts, but she said, 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.679 when I went in there, I felt a boldness, a confidence. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.959 I knew the favor of God was on my life. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.200 She stood firm, wouldn't back down on what she wanted 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.640 for the property. After two days, they said, we know 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.400 the value is not this high, but something just feels right. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.680 And we're going to purchase it. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.920 One good break will spill over to her children and grandchildren. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.800 She told me in the lobby, Joel, I never dreamed 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:07.400 that God. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:08.800 Would bless me in such a way. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.959 God has some of these net breaking blessings for you. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.480 He has supernatural provision, supernatural increase. 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:19.040 He's not limited by. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.800 Your education, your experience, who you know, how you were raised. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.280 He knows how to bring the fish to you. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.520 You do your part and let him in your boat, 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.000 honor him with your income, and God will bless you 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.640 in ways you've never imagined. When Peter saw how many 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.720 fish were in his net, the scripture says he was 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.640 awe struck at the size of his catch. God is 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.120 going to do some things that lead you awestruck. You 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.560 thought you'd be paying off your house for thirty years. 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:55.440 Then suddenly a net breaking blessing, a contract, a good break, 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:59.520 and inheritance, and you're into overflow. You thought you'd always 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.480 be in that neighborhood. You were stuck in that environment. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.520 Then suddenly a door opened, a promotion where you weren't 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:07.440 next in line. 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.120 The fish came looking for you. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.000 Well, Joel, this is encouraging, but I don't see how 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:13.760 it can happen. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.280 You don't have to see how. Leave the howl up 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.000 to God. Just believe that it will happen. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.840 The reason we can't see how is we're natural, but 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.160 God's supernatural. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.720 We're limited. God's unlimited. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.000 If you get stuck on the howl, you'll talk yourself 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.280 out of it. Your mind will come up with a 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.680 thousand reasons why it's not going to happen. No, God's 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.720 ways are not our ways. He has ways that you've 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.560 never thought of. When God delivered the Israelites out of 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.720 slavery and parted the Red Sea, these two million people. 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.280 Were in the desert, headed toward the promised land. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.880 There were no grocery stores out there, no fast food, 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.000 no door dash. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:57.200 And no water. 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.360 They begin to complain, Moses, why did you bring us 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:02.520 out here to die? 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.880 We're thirsty, we need something to drink. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.400 God didn't go to all that trouble to bring them 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.280 out of slavery, free them from the Pharaoh, to let them. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:13.000 Starve to death. 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:18.320 God will allow situations where it looks impossible so he 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:19.240 can show us. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.760 His supernatural provision. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.600 Don't be surprised if you face times where all the 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.600 facts say there's no way, your resources are limited. You 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.520 fished all night and caught nothing. No, God is up 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.640 to something. He didn't bring you this far to leave you. 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.160 God told Moses to take his staff and strike a rock. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.440 When he did, out in the desert, water started pouring 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:48.200 out of the rock. Supernatural provision. God can make things 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.120 happen that defy the odds, things that you couldn't plan for. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.880 You have to trust him everything in your mind will 0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:00.360 tell you you'll never have abundance, You'll always be thirsty, you'll 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.560 always struggle, have debt, not enough. That may be true 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.760 logically speaking, what I'm saying is God will defy logic. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.480 He knows how to bring water out of a rock. 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.560 The scripture says he makes streams in the barren places, 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:17.200 rivers in the desert. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.080 There may be some things bearing in your. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.720 Life you don't see how it could ever change or 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:23.280 get ready. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.120 God's about to strike the rock. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.400 You're going to see provision that you can't explain, good, 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:34.320 breaks that don't make sense, increase that's not logical. The 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.360 same God that brought water out of a rock can 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.240 cause promotion, defines you, the right people to track you down, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.880 abundance to come knocking on your door. If we could 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.360 do this all in our own strength, we would need 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.960 God's help. But God on purpose will put dreams in 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.800 your heart that you can't accomplish by yourself. You don't 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.800 have the resources, the funds, the connections. It's easy to 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.960 get discouraged and let what we see in the natural 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.679 talk us out of it. This is where you have 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.320 to stir your faith up and say God I believe 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.760 you have supernatural provision, that you have net breaking blessings, 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:13.760 that you can still bring. 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:14.600 Water out of a rock. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.400 I know this couple that were believing to have children 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.840 for a long time with no success, and after much 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:26.080 prayer and fertility treatment, she became pregnant with triplets. They 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.160 were so excited, but during the pregnancy there were complications. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.520 The babies were born prematurely, weighing less than a pound each, 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.760 and they had to stay in the neonatal intensive care 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.000 for six months. By the grace of God, they grew 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:45.240 and today they're perfectly healthy. These parents had insurance, but 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.560 it didn't cover everything. A few months after they brought 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:52.480 their children home, they received a bill for two million dollars. 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.840 The father was a police officer, mom worked in education. 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.480 In the natural, they'd be paying on that bill the 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.359 rest of their life. But God knows how to bring 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.200 water out of a rock. He knows how to cause 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.959 the fish to find you. They didn't start complaining, they 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:13.119 didn't get discouraged. They kept thanking God for supernatural provision, 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.760 declaring what he promised, we will lend and not borrow. Father, 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.240 thank you that our cup runs over, that we have 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.040 more than enough that you take pleasure in prospering us. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.359 If you're going to see God's blessings, you have to 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:31.320 have an abundant mentality. You have to know that he's 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:36.560 Jehovah Jihrah, the Lord, your provider. That phrase comes from 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:40.359 when Abraham was on top of Mount Moriah about to 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:44.199 sacrifice his son Isaac. Right before he went through it, 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.439 an angel appeared and told him to stop. He was 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.520 a test of his obedience. He needed an animal to sacrifice. 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.760 He heard this noise in the brush. He looked over 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.920 and saw this ram caught in the thicket. He took 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.520 that ram, and it became the sacrifice. Abraham named that 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:07.439 place Jehovah Jirah, the Lord will provide. What's interesting is 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.879 rams aren't normally found that high up in the mountains, 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.200 but God knows how to get. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.040 The provision to you. The ram was waiting on Abraham. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.640 It was going up the mountain before Abraham even knew 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.440 he needed it. It was already en route. God has 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:28.840 some rams waiting for you. He's already lined up your provision, 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.359 your abundance. Before you had the setback. He put the 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.800 ram in place. Maybe you grew up in a family, 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.480 lack and struggle. Don't worry. Rams are in your future. 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.880 May look like you're stuck. You don't have the funding 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.840 for your dream. How can you expand your business? 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.080 Stay encouraged. A ram will be waiting for you. 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:54.400 Jehovah Jirah, the Lord, your provider, has already put the abundance, 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:59.000 the good breaks, the supernatural provision. It's already in your path. 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.000 That's why we can stay in peace. He's the Lord, 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:08.240 our provider, not our job, our provider, our boss, our provider, 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:12.199 our salary, our provider. No, the god who spoke worlds 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.399 into existence, the god who makes streets out of gold, 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.960 the god who causes fish to show up, the god 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:21.680 who brings water out of a rock, the god who 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.640 puts rams in a thicket, The god who said you'll 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.640 lend and not borrow, The god who said your cup 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.800 will run over. That's who's ordering your steps. That's who's 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:33.080 planned out your future. 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:34.360 Now. 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.879 You may know him as your savior, that's the most important. 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.280 You may know him as your healer, that's good, but 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.320 you need to know him as your provider. He has 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:49.159 supernatural provision. This couple with triplets, they didn't see how 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.920 it could ever work out, but they just kept standing 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:56.520 in faith, believing that God would make away. Right before 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:00.480 Christmas that year, the hospital called and said, we've never 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:04.160 done this before, but we've decided to cancel your two 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:08.880 million dollar death. Like Peter, they were all struck. They 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:12.840 didn't see that coming. Like with Abraham, that was a 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.640 ram waiting for them. You don't know what God has 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:20.440 waiting for you. It's hidden right now, you can't see it. 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.000 But at the right time, it's going to show up. 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.520 It's not going to be ordinary something you were expecting. 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:30.640 It's going to leave you all struck. Net breaking blessings, 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.920 abundance that runs over to your children, increase that takes 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.320 you from just enough to more than enough. 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:39.760 Twenty thirteen, there was a. 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.760 Young African American woman working as a nurse. She and 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:47.879 her husband were pregnant with another child, and unfortunately the 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.440 baby was born without the brain functioning, and six months 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.600 later the child passed and she was so distraught and 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.120 so empty, didn't feel like she had any sense of purpose. 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:00.679 She wasn't raised in church. 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.119 Didn't have any kind of religious background, but in that 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.800 dark time, she turned to her faith. She got involved 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:12.080 in a good church started volunteering, supporting she never missed 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.800 a service. To try to distract herself from the pain 0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:20.840 of the loss, she started researching hair products and experimenting 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.760 with different things that worked for her. She put this 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.640 on her Instagram, tips to take care of your hair 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.080 waste to style it. She thought maybe one day she'd 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:34.199 open a hair salon. Much to her surprise, her Instagram 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.200 blew up. There was so much interest in her hair 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:39.800 products that she started selling them online. 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:43.360 She began in her kitchen. It grew and grew. They 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:44.400 moved to the garage. 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.199 Over the next few years, it took off to a 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:53.120 multi million dollar business. In twenty nineteen, Procter and Gamble 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:57.119 purchased her company for an amount she never dreamed. She 0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:01.520 said it was the largest Series A investment ever obtained 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.080 by an African American woman. On top of that, they 0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:08.680 committed ten million dollars to her charity to help educate 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:13.640 underprivileged children. You don't know what kind of rams God 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:17.639 has waiting for you. When you honor him live with 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.760 an abundant mentality. 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:21.960 He'll do things you didn't see coming. 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:29.000 Not just meet your needs, but supernatural provision, uncommon, unusual things. 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:29.600 You can't explain. 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:33.480 And she told how she didn't feel qualified to run 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:34.720 a company that large. 0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:38.320 She had never been to business school. Her training was 0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:39.080 in healthcare. 0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:41.639 Some of her friends told her she was making a 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:45.679 mistake leaving her nursing job. But God has things in 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:49.280 your future that are not going to make sense to everyone. 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.480 Water out of a rock that doesn't make sense, Peter, 0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:55.080 go back and launch into the deep. There were no 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.840 fish there a few hours ago. Now there's a net 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:02.320 breaking blessing. Let people talk you out of what God 0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:03.240 put in your heart. 0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:05.840 The blessing is in the obedience. 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.040 The ram is waiting for you where God told you 0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:13.560 to go out in the desert. Every morning, the Israelites 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:17.000 had manna on the ground, something like bread to eat. 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:20.200 That's how they survived. But the people got tired of that. 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.600 They complained to Moses, we want some meat to eat. 0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:27.800 God didn't like their complaining, but he's so merciful. He 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:31.080 told Moses that he would give the people meat, not 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:32.120 for a day. 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:33.359 But for a whole month. 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:36.480 Moses said, God, what do you mean there are two 0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.479 million people out here. Even if we butchered all of 0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:42.080 our flocks, all of our herds, that wouldn't be enough. 0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:45.480 God didn't say, you know what, Moses, You're right? What 0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:46.199 was I thinking? 0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:47.800 I miscalculated? 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.800 God said, Moses, is there any limit to my power? 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.720 He was saying, don't you realize I controlled the universe. 0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.080 I put rams in a bush, I tell fish to 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:01.600 get into a nat I tell water to come out 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.160 of a rock. I tell compact centers to go. 0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:04.840 To my people. 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:11.280 The scripture says God shifted the wind and cost hundreds 0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.080 of thousands of quail to come in from the sea 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:15.840 like that ram. 0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:19.560 Quail are not normally found in the desert. They wouldn't 0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:23.199 go that far from the water. But God controls the quail. 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:27.040 That one shift and they had state dinners for a 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:31.440 whole month. Verse thirty two says no one gathered less 0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:35.640 than fifty bushels of quail. Let's assume there were ten 0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.200 quel in a bushel. Then everyone gathered five hundred quel. 0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:42.680 There were two million people. That adds up to a 0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:45.920 billion quail. We're praying about our light bill. 0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:46.800 Look at how. 0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:51.520 God thinks abundance overflow more than enough. They were all 0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:55.440 struck and what God had done like with them. 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:58.240 God's about to shift some things in your life. 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.560 He's going to cause the quail to come looking for you. 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:02.840 You couldn't have made it happen. 0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:07.480 You didn't have the connections, the experience, the background. But 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:11.639 you've kept God first place. You've been faithful, you've honored 0:27:11.680 --> 0:27:14.840 him with your first fruits. Now he's going to cause 0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:16.240 the winds to blow. 0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:16.840 In your direction. 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:21.920 A shift from borrowing to lending, a shift from renting 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:26.720 to owning, a shift from employee to employer, a shift 0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:30.720 from not enough to more than another. Now you may 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:31.959 not see how it can happen. 0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:34.160 Your mind, what's here? There's no way? 0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:36.960 How can you get out of death? How can you 0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:40.119 leave your family better? How can you accomplish your dream? 0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.160 God is asking you what he asked Moses. 0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:45.480 Is there anything too hard for me? 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.840 You're looking at it in the natural, but God has 0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:53.439 supernatural provision. One shift and you'll go from no fish 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.119 to a net breaking blessing, from playing with hair products 0:27:57.320 --> 0:28:00.320 to a business exploding, from a two million all our 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:02.440 medical bill to be in debt free. 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:04.320 What are you looking at? 0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:08.000 How big the lack, the debt, the struggle is, or 0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.960 how big your God is. Have a new perspective. Let 0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:16.359 God be magnified. Who takes pleasure in prospering me get 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:20.680 in agreement with God. Have this abundant mentality. He has 0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:24.080 some rams waiting for you. He's already lined up some 0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:28.280 net breaking blessings.
