satanic attack is actually a sign that
you have become a high-value target in
the kingdom and when the enemy levels
his attack against you it it means two
things number one it means you’re
valuable to God in your assignment
number two it means the level of your
blessing
waiting for you when you get through
this attack it is beyond anything you
can’t imagine and that’s why the enemy
is trying to stop you now
[Music]
today I want to speak to you about how
God wants to provide for you
specifically I want to use the Old
Testament pattern of how God dealt with
the children of Israel there were four
ways that he provided for them that he
will provide for you in this time that
I’m speaking in your life the first way
that God provides for his people
number one is through the hand of man in
Genesis 45 we’re told the story of
Joseph and his brothers come from a
foreign land they are in a famine and
Joseph says to them don’t be afraid God
sent me before you into this land so
that I could with my own hands take care
of you and give you food in your family
I’ll feed you with my hands Jason Joseph
fed to those brothers who had done him
so wrong
the first way that God provides is
through the hand of man and don’t be
fussy about how God does it don’t say
who he can use and who he can’t use God
use Pharaoh to provide for Joseph and
Joseph was used to provide for his
family and God when he’s going to bless
you we’ll use the hand of man that’s why
Luke 6:38 is so powerful Gil and it
shall be given unto you good measure
pressed down shaken together running
over shall men give into your bosom
notice that men it’ll come from the
hands of men
they’ll give into your bosom but the
first part is on you when he said give
as long as you give God will make sure
that their men who give into your bosom
I’ve told the story many times of how
God will use the hand of man and I love
this old story my daddy used to tell it
that’s how old it is and I knew the
punchline and I’d still enjoy it but he
said that there was a widow woman and
she didn’t have much an elderly woman
and she was living in her home and
and she didn’t have anything but peanut
butter and jelly and she got to pray and
oh god I’m hungry would you send me a
loaf of bread and she she got to praying
fervently and prayed out loud oh God
would you send me a loaf of bread and
she said that that that she kept praying
and her neighbor happened to hear her
through the window as she was crying out
to God and he was an atheist he didn’t
believe in God and he got tired of
hearing to pray to a god that wasn’t
real and he climbed up on the roof and
he dropped a loaf of bread down her
chimney and oh when the when the bread
came right down the chimney she started
shouting hallelujah God has given me a
loaf of bread for my peanut butter and
jelly and then he went over to rain on
her party he knocked on the door and
when she opened the door he said why are
you making so much noise and she said
God just gave me a loaf of bread he said
lady God did not give you that loaf of
bread I heard you praying I climbed up
on the ceiling and I dropped below for
bread through your chimney god didn’t
have anything to do with it since you
really started shouting and he said I
don’t understand what is your problem
she said God gave me a loaf of bread and
he used the devil to deliver it it’s
still funny in it God will provide
through the hand of man and don’t you
ever forget it and don’t say it has to
be this kind of man or that kind of man
God can use anybody anywhere anytime to
bless you and to meet your needs and
here’s the big point with this God will
not let you depend on any one individual
too long be careful if you start
depending on one individual too long
because God wants you to understand that
that person is being used God calls them
to give into your bosom and your seed
caused them the gifts but they are not
your source God is your source the
second way that God will provide for you
is not only through the hand of men but
secondly through the hand of God
super natural blessings from his own
hand you see after Joseph had provided
for 70 years for his family the Bible
said there arose another Pharaoh who
knew not Joseph nor his God and he cut
all the food off and suddenly the hand
of man that they had been looking to to
feed them God severed it God broke the
link and now they had to believe for God
to send the resources the Bible said in
numbers that God rained down manna from
heaven and began to feed the children of
Israel he supernaturally like the dew
coming down every morning there was just
enough food for one day’s supply of
every household and God by his own hand
fed them I want you to understand that
God broke the link and he said you’ve
been depending on that man’s hand but
now I want to show you that sometimes
I’ll supply your need not by man’s hand
as a matter of fact I’ll even sever and
if you if you have been depending on
some body’s hand that has been blessing
you maybe and even an employer’s hand
and that relationship has been severed
don’t you become afraid and fearful
because that man’s hand is not your
source God’s hand is your source and God
will break your link with any hand other
than his hand Jesus said in John 15
without me you can do nothing I am the
vine and you are the branches and
without me unless you’re connected to me
you will not produce fruit Paul put it
like this
my dependency is upon thee this is
called force dependency and to be honest
my ego hates it my ego hates depending
on God I love to be so blessed that I
can pray life prayers and I don’t have
to really need anything from God and but
is not an American and he’s not in to
you being independent Americans are
independent and all that but God is not
into that he’s into dependency and he’s
into you always needing him more and
more and more and so all along he’ll
come along and he will put you in a
place of transition he would turn your
life around he’ll rock your boat and I
want a system that I’m going to pray
likely and it’ll always come in and God
sometimes will break that link but when
he does get ready that you’re moving
from man’s hand to God’s hand the brook
that fed Elijah during the famine was
the system but God was the source the
Raven for a while was the system but God
was the source and the system may change
but God is your source and so the way
that God provides is through his own
hand and when he does it according to
Exodus 16 and 14 they said what is this
when he sent the manna they said what is
this it takes a while to know God’s ways
it takes a while to figure out some of
you want to be instant successes but the
truth is sometimes God has to reposition
you and you’re used to getting it from
one way from one source and then God
comes and says I’m about to reposition
you and if you’ll trust me
and if you’ll obey me in these
transitions I’ll bless you even more see
we always want it one way and if we lose
our job or something happens we freak
out and we don’t trust God like we ought
to trust God and the truth is when he
sent the manna the Bible said if you
read it it’s an interesting text it said
that if you had a household of two that
he would send basically if you if you
study it out it’s two quarts of manna
every morning enough to feed per person
so that would be four quarts of manna
for a man and his wife but maybe the
house next door had six people what God
would increase the manna for that house
so it wasn’t equal what he gave each
house it was
according to how many people were in
their house that God provided exactly
what they needed they couldn’t store it
up the next day which by the way when
the cloud moved it wasn’t that they were
so spiritual
they understood if we don’t stay under
the cloud we don’t have any food
tomorrow here’s the point God says I’m
about to give you bread from heaven but
I don’t give the same amount to
everybody
I’ll give and I’ll trust for you
according to the size of your assignment
if your assignment is to people he’ll
give you enough for two people if your
assignment is six people he’ll give you
enough for six people if the assignment
of this church was a hundred people at
one time and God gave enough for a
hundred people and then we grew to 300
people and God gave enough for 300
people then we grew to thousands of
people and God says I give you my
provision according to the size of your
assignment and if you’re faithful with
what I give you when I give it to you
I’ll increase you more and more and more
by the hand of God I want to remind
somebody today that if man’s hand is no
longer blessing you that you have the
hand of God also that will bless you
Philippians 4:19 we are so used to
quoting that but my God shall supply all
your needs according to his riches and
glory through Christ Jesus but wait a
minute stop the train you need to back
up and go all the way up to who he was
talking to and he said you Philippians
became my partners in giving time and
again then he says therefore my God will
supply all your needs so he promises God
promises that if you are a giver if you
are a generous person to the kingdom and
the work of God I will supply by my hand
I will supply all your needs according
to my riches in glory the third way that
God provides everybody say God will
provide
by the hand of man the hand of God and
now the hand that is your very own your
own hand
you see Joshua five said and the manna
ceased five and twelve I think it is
said in the manna ceased oh my god
it’s time to panic after 40 years of
everyday the man and then it ceased what
is God going to do now God said I’m
changing you I’m repositioning you again
I’m getting ready to bless you again and
you like for everything to stay the same
you would have never left that other job
that you were so that I I know what I’m
doing in your life and if you’ll trust
me and honor me with your tithe and give
unto me and make me first in your life
in every area I’ll lead you from glory
under glory faith under faith victory
under victory I’ll bless you more and
more I’ll increase you more and more and
now I’m about to move you from the hand
of man and the hand of God miracle after
miracle after miracle but at some point
you need to stop living off miracles and
then he says I’ll bless you from your
own hand the manna ceased and God said
I’m about to transition you and I want
you to look at Deuteronomy 11 and verse
9 he said I’m taking you into a land
that is flowing with milk and honey the
next verse says this he says but the
land that you’re about to go into is not
like the land of Egypt that you’ve come
from where you sowed your seed in a
strange little phrase right here and
wandered by foot as a vegetable garden
that is a direct reference to the
foot-pumps that they had to set up in
Egypt just to get a tiny little harvest
just to get some little plant to come
out of the ground they had to irrigate
from the Nile River and they used foot
Punk and they would get just eke out
just enough water to grow just enough
food to barely get by and eat by and God
said where I’m taking you
I’m moving you off the foot pump and
into a land that is flowing I don’t want
you just
scratching bye I don’t want you just
scraping by I don’t want you just eating
by I want you off the foot pump and I’m
going to take you to a land a place a
position in life where the blessings are
flowing like milk and honey I’m taking
you to a land that flows you’re coming
off the pump and into the flow the
goodness of the Lord is about to flow
into your life whether you’re on the
valley or whether you’re on the mountain
he even said at the beginning of the
year to the end of the year I’m going to
take care of you he told them that in
Deuteronomy read it Deuteronomy chapter
11 when you have an Egyptian mentality
you’re always praying
SOS prayers financially oh god help us
oh god help us we need a miracle we need
a miracle we need a miracle we need we
need the money we always pray in 911
you’re always in a crisis going from a
crisis into a crisis but God says I want
you to begin to walk into the divine
flow of my blessings I’m tired of your
bullet being on the foot pump I want you
to have a land that is flowing with milk
and honey and listen if you’re not there
yet there’s no shame in that that’s why
you’re in church you’re getting faith
even by the word coming into your life
that there’s a better land coming in
your life you may be on the foot pump
right now but God’s ultimate will is
that you be in a land that’s flowing
with milk and honey somebody give God a
shout if you believe that he will bless
you he’s no respecter of persons none
but God says this part the manner has
ceased this is going to require you to
so did you read it
this is going to require you to work the
field this is going to require you to do
something it’s going to involve you up
to this point you’ve been living off of
man the hand of man you’ve been living
off the hand of God but now I’m ready to
bless your guilt I’m ready to bless your
abilities I’m ready for you to begin to
excel with things that I have equipped
you to do and your gifts will make room
for you
you and you’re going to begin to flow in
the gift that I’ve given you the set of
strategies and abilities that I’ve given
you and I’m going to bless you I’m going
to involve you
God wants something better for you than
praying emergency financial prayers all
the time it begins to flow into your
life if you can do it God won’t do it
for you the manna ceased and God said
I’m not sending any more if you want to
harvest start sowing and using your own
hands and working in that something grow
up I’ll meet your needs but you need to
find your purpose in the kingdom you
need to find your gifts and put them to
work you need to get off your blessed
assurance and do something and work and
if you will do it I’ll begin to bless
you by your own hands and you’ll begin
to move beyond crisis all the time now
God’s involving you you’re not going to
be one step away from the creditors all
the time but you have skill sets you
have strengths that you don’t even know
you have things in you that you’re not
even aware of when God told me to preach
if you would have told me that I could
write books I would have lasted you that
one day I would write books and people
would actually read those books and buy
those books my English teacher would
have told you you are crazy but I had
stuff in me that I didn’t know I had in
me when I was learning to play that
little saxophone in the 12th grade I
remember my first recital I played go
tell it on the mountain bye-bye prepare
and it would squeak burn burn prayer
prepare and I never dreamed that that
horn would make me money
oh come on somebody you don’t understand
the strengths and assets that you have
that God has
put in you and when you give him
everything he says oh I’m going to bless
that set of gifts and abilities and
skill sets that I’m giving you but
here’s the last one God will provide for
you by the hand of your enemy pastor are
you serious serious as a heart attack
I’m very serious twelve went into the
promised land ten came back saying the
Giants are too big but two came back and
they said our God is able and somebody
brought up the Giants and in numbers it
said they spoke up and they said those
Giants are bred for us not amazing gotta
provide for you through your enemies but
God sets their brand for you what does
that mean God will feed you through the
hand of your enemy you’ll get to the
place that you feed off of the attacks
that the enemy throws at you and instead
of discouraging you it makes you even
more steadfast and determined to do the
will of God you begin to feed off the
attacks you almost get an attitude or
bring it on is that all you got is that
the best you can do I’m not groaning I’m
growing in God satanic attack is
actually a sign that you have become a
high-value target in the kingdom and
when the enemy targets you and your
family it’s a sign you’re a high-value
target it means that you have something
worth attacking when the enemy levels
his attack against you if it means two
things number one it means you’re
valuable to God in your assignment and
number two it means the level of your
blessing waiting for you when you get
through this attack is it’s beyond
anything you can’t imagine
and that’s why the enemy is trying to
stop you now and in such a Corinthians 9
and verse 10 it says this now he who
supplies the seed to the sower and bread
and food and supply will multiply the
seed you have sown he will give you and
supply a seed and you can eat the seed
or you can hold the seed or you can sow
the seed and he only multiplies the seed
that you sow and what will happen he
increases the fruits of your
righteousness and while you are enriched
now this is so important in everything
that’s not just spiritual stuff when you
sow God says I’m going to take care of
everything
with all liberality God says I’m going
to really really really take care of you
which will cause Thanksgiving through us
to God but watch this it doesn’t end
there
and by the administration of this
service not only supply the needs of you
liberally that causes Thanksgiving in
you but watch this but also will abound
through many Thanksgiving to God that’s
the power of the exchange I take what I
have in my hand and I release it to God
and God multiplies the seed that I sow
and it causes me to be so liberally
blessed that I have Thanksgiving in my
heart and if that wasn’t enough then as
I sow God multiplies the seed sown and
it not only provides for me tremendous
but it takes care of others and causes
them to be free and them to be blessed
and them to be fed for a season until
God can get them into the land that’s
flowing and they have Thanksgiving in
their heart to God because of what you
did
that is a beautiful exchange that I can
be a part of something so great this
