I believe it's 45 I want to teach you on 4 ways God will provide for you 4 ways God will provide for you how many of you believe God is your provider the Old Testament pattern shows us how God deals with his people Israel and the scripture said it was written for our learning in other words they were natural Israel but we are spiritual Israel and how God dealt with natural Israel he is is a pattern of the same way that he would deal with you and I spiritual Israel and the first thing that I want to tell you there are four ways that I could find that God will provide for you in the first way that he will provide for you is number one God will provide for you through the hand of man God will use men and women and people to provide for you Genesis 45 verse 7 in verse 8 this is Joseph talking to his brothers that had hurt him and now they're in a famine starving to death and he is the prime minister of Egypt and he has the keys to all the corn in the earth everybody else was out of corn Joseph had it in silos and he says in verse 7 to those who did him so wrong and God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance listen so now it was not you who sent me here but God he has made me a father to Pharaoh and Lord of all his house and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt what he was saying was God has blessed me so I can provide for you my family the first way that God provides is through the hand of man so don't be fussy about how he does it don't be fussy and picky about who he uses to provide the needs and gives you opportunity to do business with don't tell God who you think he can and cannot use to provide for you because God can use some strange people to bless you God use Pharaoh to provide for his people Pharaoh an evil idolaters who worship statues and in hundreds of God's and yet God used Pharaoh to provide for the Hebrew people you cannot put God in a box Luke 6:38 and I want you to remember this verse everybody say give let's read it out loud give and it will be given to you good measure pressed down shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom notice that men different kind of men and women God will raise up to provide for you he used Ravens to feed the prophet Elijah and a raven is not supposed to pick up food and take it to somebody and give it to them a raven doesn't deliver food it eats food anything it can get but God changed the nature of that bird so that it would take care of his prophet in a family God knows how to take care of you and he will supply God will never let you depend on anyone individually too long just if you get to depending on any particular person what you do is you circumvent the blessing of God because you're that person is not your source that person is the is the me means that God is blessing you temporarily God is your source and he will always so when people leave your life or when business deals that you were counting on you thought who you would have the rest of your life don't sweat it God has lots of people men that will give unto your bosom and I want you to start claiming this promise that God will provide for me through the hands of men that when I get up and I go to work today God is going to prosper me and bless me and cause me to have these connections in life these associations in life that men will give unto my bosom I believe that not only will God supply your need and provide for you through the hands of men but the second way that God provides is from his own hand after seventy years of being fed by Pharoah the Bible said there arose another Pharaoh who knew not Joseph now I want you to see this for seventy years Pharaoh took care of Joseph and took care of his people therefore all the nation of Israel but there arose another Pharaoh because that one died and another one came in his place and the Bible said he knew not Joseph panicked I'm you're not in the click anymore this is where you learn man is not your source God is your source and he will sometimes provide for you through the hand of man and then there are times when God Himself will supernaturally provide for you suddenly the link was broke suddenly he had no inside ability to get to the Pharaoh and it reminds us of the fact that Jesus said without me you can do nothing this is called force dependency this is when you have to get back down on your knees and remind yourself that man is not your source alone God will use men to give to me but God it's from your hand to their hand into my hand and I'm coming back to you I'm looking to you I'm honoring you with my giving I want a system going while you know this is what we like to get it where is so wonderful that everything's just clicking and everything's just happening and you don't even hardly have to pray you just you just pray lightly and everything's the money's just flowing but how many of you know that usually when things are like that we don't pray like we ought to Elijah had it made he had a bird feeding him every day two meals a day and he had the river flowing with water and the Bible said the brook dried up what do you do when your brook dries up what do you do when your money source dries up what do you do when the business dries up it drove Elijah back to his source the brook was not his source listen carefully the brook was his system the brook was the system God was the source and your business is the system but God is the source and I'm saying to you that God Himself then spoke to the Prophet and said go to the widow woman I've commanded her she's down to her last meal she doesn't have any hope either and if she will obey you with her last meal give and it shall be given unto you but if she eats her last meal then she's gonna miss the harvest for the next three and a half years that will sustain her and her son through the famine I'm saying to you that if I were the devil I would tell people that giving doesn't really matter because he knows that that one offering from that woman kept her son and her alive through the family I want you to see that it's through the hand of God that he gives look with me in Exodus if you've got your Bible turn there to the book of Exodus chapter 16 in verse 14 and when the layer of dew lifted the children of is were out in the wilderness on the surface of the wilderness was a small round substance as fine as frost on the ground and so when the children of Israel saw it they said to one another what is it for they did not know what it was and Moses said to them this is bread which the Lord has given you to eat now I want you to notice a couple things about this food and provision that came from the hand of God God said I'm gonna give it to you and sometimes it's hard to recognize the blessing that God is bringing to you because you don't always see it and sometimes he's repositioning you through a transition to get you ready for a new miracle I'm about to give you bread from heaven God says and God doesn't give everybody the same amount if you keep reading that story it said that if you had a household of two people God would give them one loaf of manna but if you had a household of six people he would give them three times that amount so everybody didn't get the same it was according to what they the people that they had in their household when God prospers you he would do it according to the size of your assignment look at Philippians chapter four and my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory about Jesus and everybody shouts no no no no no no that's what they do they don't even know what that's tied to now folks God is a fair god in order to understand that you have to go back to verse 15 now you Philippians this is who he was talking to they made that promise to you know how in the beginning of the gospel when I departed from Macedonia no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but only you even the Thessalonica you sent aid once again for my necessities and now I can tell you on the authority of God's Word because you helped me take the gospel to the lost all over the world when nobody else would do it my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus number three God will meet your needs from your own hand Joshua chapter five and verse 12 and the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land and the children of Israel no longer had manna but they ate the food of the land of the of Canaan that year we read right over that and think nothing for forty years God fed them three times a day with bread from heaven and now after forty years of never having to lift a finger for their food and provision God says as soon as they get into the Promised Land the manna will cease panic God transitioned them and he said sometimes I'll cause men to meet and provide your need sometimes I will supernaturally I'll cause the IRS I'm even though that would be the supernatural I'll cause the IRS to send you a check back in the mail from seven years ago I might be speaking to somebody right now and you better tie on it when you get it to this how many of you've ever had God supernaturally provide for you let me see your hand I mean I mean supernaturally provide just if there's an it made no sense the way the money came and then he says there will be seasons where I'm gonna use your own hand the man is gonna cease it's just gonna be hard work you're gonna get out and sow and reap you're gonna get up you gonna get out and get it I'll use your own hand you can't just kick back expect me to do everything God says I won't do for you what you can do for yourselves go help yourself if everything shut down on you go back to school I mean it's sure seats beats sitting around eating Cheetos you know get getting your unemployment nothing wrong with that if you're going through unemployment for season but why not better yourself why not do any and everything you can why not why not do any anything man I pick up coke bottles if I had to God blesses people who are busy he calls people who are busy when people come to me and say I can't I can't find a job nowhere I can't I don't have no and I think the Lord wants me to work in the church for you you don't wanna work for me like that come on let's get real Deuteronomy 11 and nine that you may prolong your days and lend that Lord squirel to give your fathers and your descendants listen to this it's a land flowing with milk and honey now this is strange look at the next verse for the land which you going to possess is not like the land of Egypt listen to this from which you have come where you sowed your seed listened and watered it by foot as a vegetable garden I saw that and I couldn't figure out what that was talking about and I looked it up today and this is what they said in Egypt the only way that they could irrigate their fields was by foot pumps that they would draw water from the Nile River with foot with foot pumps and that they'd get a just enough out in that desert with pipes and things and foot pumps but God said I'm taking you out of a land where you had foot pumps squirting a little bit of water out and I'm taking you into a land that is flowing with milk and honey you're coming off the pump and into the flow so I'll provide for you through the hand of man I'll provide for you through the hand of God I'll provide for you through your own hand and lastly God will provide for you by the hand of your enemy 12 went into the promised land 10 came back and said oh they're so much fruit it's flowing with milk and honey but the Giants are too big the majority of people still see the problems and say yes but and numbers 14 and verse 9 God says this only do not rebel against the Lord nor fear the people of the land everybody read the next part of that sentence for they are our bread once they go to the King James translation because it says for they are bread for us who they whose they are enemies in other words God is saying I am going to feed you through the hand of your enemy I'm going you're actually going to reach a point that you feed off of their attacks you feed off your haters they actually encourage you satanic attack is actually a sign that you are a high-value target it means you have something worth attacking the level of the tak is going to tell you two things it's going to tell you number one how valuable you are to God in your assignment and the level of blessing that is waiting for you when you get through this attack that is what the attack is all about it's telling you the value you are in the assignment that God has given you and it's telling you the level of blessing that God has on the other side of the attack if you will be willing and obedient steadfast and unmovable never quit never give up God will bless you God will provide for you God can use anybody anywhere anytime to meet your needs now I want to end with a couple scriptures second Corinthians chapter 9 and verse 10 now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food and he supplies and multiplies the seed that you hold on to and put in your pocket he multiplies the seed that you have and increases the fruits of your righteousness you either believe that stuff or you don't and I believe it down to my bonus because I have experienced let's clap and praise God for the truth of his word so say this with me he multiplies seed that is sown he gives seed to sewers am i a sower have I given anything that God can multiply because 2nd Corinthians 9 says he that shows little reaps little he that sews generously reaps generously the folks I don't know about you but I believe that God has a system whereby all the needs of your life and history and his kingdom are met and you just heard me teach them and when you're willing to obey the Word of God in this area God says I'll provide for you through the hands of men through the hands of God through the hands of yourself and even calls your enemies to become bread for here and I'll prepare a table before you a banquet in the presence of your enemies some I'm wanting like you and say there hallelujah raise your hand up and praise God with me right here this is good news some of you are stressed out about your finances and beat up by the enemy devil told you God doesn't love you doesn't care about you what a liar he is he cares about it everything everything concerning you if he's got the number of hairs numbered on your head he cares about what you drive where you live what you wear what you need what you have what you don't have he cares I want to pray with you today as you are watching this program I don't believe it's by chance I believe in Kingdom connections I believe that God can can know what you're going through and send a preacher into your life to speak a message that speaks to that situation in your life and I believe while you've been listening today that God has done that in your life so why not open up your heart why not why not just start all over today and give your life completely to Jesus Christ sellout maybe you never prayed that prayer I want to pray with you right where you are you can experience the power and presence of Jesus Christ he always comes where he's invited so open up and invite him pray this prayer say Lord Jesus I give you my life I surrender everything to you forgive me cleanse me of my sins through your precious blood I receive it by faith I believe in you I believe you died and rose again and I believe you've come to live in me today with me you'll never leave me you'll never forsake me in Jesus name that's a powerful name in Jesus name and I speak healing and health over your body today if you're sick just be healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ amen I'm excited about what's happening we're getting close to a miracle in Haiti we're just a few a few months away from the grand dedication of our miracle marketplace over 20 acres full of buildings where over 2,600 Haitian people are going to be employed we're going to dedicate that facility for the glory of God debt-free over a million dollars that we've been able to send we still need your help we aren't quite there we were close and if you can help us put us over the top we would greatly appreciate it I know God will bless you because he said when you give to the poor you lend to God and that that is the truth and you know I believe that as we sow and make miracles happen for these precious people in Haiti God can make it happen in our own house in our own life in our own business and you can do something today pray about what God would have you do really just take a moment if this ministry has been a blessing to you if you've received you know from the Word of God that we bring this is a way you can make a difference in somebody else's life help us make that miracle happen in Haiti thank you pray for us I'm praying for you I'll see you next time on Kingdom connection [Music] life is real vivid alive beating breathing it happens behind
