"The God That Exceeds The Need" with Jentezen Franklin

the following program is sponsored by friends and partners of Kingdom connection if you want to know what God thinks about your life in your situation look at Jesus what did he do and when there was a great need of five thousand men plus their wives and children and they needed something to eat Jesus did not just meet the need their mentality was if we took all the money that we have and we could go buy bread we would only have enough to give each person a little notice that's how man thinks but God Jesus God's Son did not think little he the Bible said that he blessed the bread and the fish it multiplied and he fed them until they were filled I don't mean they just ate enough to get them by they were filled have you ever ate until you were filled like Thanksgiving Christmas it was one of those kind of meals where they were filled I'm talking about I can't take anymore and then he said go get the leftovers because I didn't just meet the need and fill up every tummy of thousands and thousands of people but there are 12 baskets left over because we serve a God who exceeds the need that's what I'm preaching on today I want to build your faith that your God is not a get by God your God is a God who exceeds the need when he fed the 5000 after all had eaten and I love the words and they were fool God doesn't want you unsatisfied he wants you fool they gathered up the baskets and there remained after them twelve baskets in John chapter 21 on another occasion Jesus was on the seashore the disciples had fished all night and caught nothing he he gave them instructions from the seashore throw your net on the other side they threw it on the other side their net filled the Bible said they were filled with with fish and when they came to shore when they got to the seaside there were quote other fish already on the fire Jesus didn't just feel their nets Jesus didn't just put so many fish in their boat that it was about to sink but he doesn't just meet the need but then he exceeds the need and when they get there with so many fish they can barely carry them he's already got other fish that he's cooking on the fire and you would think well Lord why didn't you take one of these fish that we just caught and he's he's letting us know I don't just feel your nets I exceed your need and I've got the fish cooking right now I want you to know that we have a God who is not only able to do what we need him to do he's able to do so much more he's able to do as Ephesians said exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or that we could even even think I want you to take a minute and clap your hands like you believe he's worthy of praise this is for him it's a great there's a great illustration of what I'm talking about in the Old Testament that I want you to see it's found in the story of Naomi and Ruth you remember there was a famine and they had lost everything and so they go back to Naomi's homeland and they wanted to take advantage of a Hebrew custom it was actually a Hebrew law Moses had said that in famine if people are poor and they don't have anything to eat they have a right to go in the field and scrape up the the leftover scraps and try to get by on those meager provisions that the law provided when the Reapers were reaping the harvest if anything dropped and was left on the ground the poor and the impoverished could have it and Ruth went into the field that day to get nothing but the leftover and the scraps and what the law would provide remember she was a Gentile remember she was not a Hebrew she had no business being in the field but she was in the field and she was a second-class not worthy of the full blessing she's just on her knees and she finds a little a little stock of maybe some cabbage and she finds a little a little piece of food here and a little bit of wheat here she's got a little Bowl and maybe by the end of the day as she crawls on her hands and knees she'll have enough food to maybe half fill that little bow and take it home because I'm gonna tell you why I believe it was like that is you have to understand the Reapers were sure handed the scripture said they were sure handed meaning they were professional Reapers and so can you imagine these professional Reapers I mean they had it down they knew how to do it and they knew I can't drop anything if I do that old peasant will pick it up and get to keep it so I'm not dropping anything and then the owner of the field Boaz comes riding up and he sees that pretty girl Ruth down as she's gathering pitiful meager things just trying to scrape by a little scraps little little things just enough to get by and when he saw Ruth he said something to his servants that was ridiculous in their minds he said drop some handfuls on purpose get butterfingers get sloppy do sloppy work I mean drop it on purpose and poor roof she didn't know what was going on in he and he said don't tell her don't let her know what you're doing I don't want her embarrassed I don't want her humiliated I don't want her feeling bad I won't hurt it I want her to get handfuls on purpose and you just act like it's an accident fake it and they get sloppy handed and I could just see them in my mind you got to understand the law said you can only have a little bit but here comes grace and when it sees a a Gentile in the Hebrew field grace says I'm not just gonna save you I'm not just gonna give you life I'm not just gonna give you what you need to get by but I'm going to make sure that you have more than enough and all of a sudden this thing gets so crazy that they're dropping more than they're holding on to and she's overloaded she's like these are the sloppiest workers I have ever seen oh my God look at this and she starts getting sacks and filling up sacks of food drop an extra one for no reason the law says all she has coming to her is one is dropped by accident and I want you to understand that we're going that we we have a heavenly Boaz who under the New Covenant didn't just provide for us see the law said you only get this much enough to get by through the shed blood of an animal and it'll it won't remove your sin it'll Oh your sin over to the next year until the Day of Atonement and the next year to the Day of Atonement and the next year you could never take sin away it just rolled it over but here comes our heavenly Boaz Jesus he says I'm gonna bleed and we're not under the Covenant of Moses we're under a new and a better covenant and all of a sudden the Old Covenant met our needs but the new covenant exceeds our needs if the blood of bulls and goats sanctified them then how much more the writer says shall the blood of Jesus Christ purge your conscience your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God you see the Old Covenant it just was enough to roll their sin over but we don't just get our sins forgiven he exceeds our needs and he says I'll purge your conscience I'm make sure you don't have to walk around in condemnation and shame and guilt and not only will I do that but I'll bless you going in and I'll bless you coming out I'll bless you in the city and I'll bless you in the field oh and by my stripes you're healed and oh by the way I make a covenant with you for your family that if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you shall be saved and your household and for generations this blessing it's not just enough I'm not just saved it's more than enough you have to understand we have a better covenant and a God who exceeds our needs under Moses covenant when you came to church you always had to bring a gift a sacrifice if you were very wealthy you would bring an ox if you were middle-income you would bring a lamb if you were very poor you still had to bring an offering you would bring a Turtledove it was not equal giving but it was equal sacrifice and that's why the tithe is so powerful the person who made a hundred thousand this week would bring ten thousand the person who made a thousand would bring one hundred who made a hundred would bring $10 and God says if they honor me with what they have been given I will treat them exactly the same it's not equal giving it's equal sacrifice and now I want you to see it so they would come with their animals and they would give it to the high priest and it would be slain and offered and the meat would be set aside and used for other things but they could not eat it and they came with their hands full but they left with their hands empty you came with something but you went home with nothing if you were going to get a blessing under the Old Covenant of Moses you better get it while you're in church because you're going home empty-handed but here comes David and David is bringing the Ark of the Covenant back and the Bible said that he set the tent up on Mount Zion and he said roll the curtains up we're gonna have a different kind of worship and he said the people can still bring the exact same sacrifices and they did they brought the oxen they brought the lamb they brought the turtle doves he said bring the same offerings and let the families gather let whosoever will come let them come and let them gather around the Ark of the Covenant and let him offer their sacrifices but when they were about to leave this is the different David did something different that had never been seen before David said before you leave I want you to do something and he said take home with you number one cakes of bread and take home with you a good piece of flesh or a good piece of meat and take home with you a flagon or a container of wine you know what he was doing he was saying you came and for generations and years and years and years they came and when they came to church they came with their hands full but they went home empty and if you were gonna get a blessing you could get blessed at church but you couldn't take it back home but we serve a God who exceeds the need and David got a revelation when he said I don't want you to come to church and just get blessed in church I want you to take it home and he said so take the cake of bread that represents the word take the piece of flesh that represents the Savior who was offered to set you three and take the wine that represents a spirit of joy in your soul and he said don't just have it in church but take it home with you because you serve a God who exceeds the need in Moses tabernacle you left the sacrifice and went home empty-handed but in David's tabernacle you take something back with you after you have given and in Acts chapter 15 there's a prophecy and God says I will restore the tabernacle of David I'm gonna give something to you that you can take home with you and it will exceed your need we don't just come to church and have church and it's over but the real thing that Jesus wants to do is he wants you to leave here with more of Jesus and take it back to your life and go to work and get up on Monday folks I'm telling you we got to quit being religious we gotta quit playing Church and we're supposed to come and leave here not empty-handed and go right back to whatever but we go back saying I'm not alone I've got the blood I've got the name of got the word I've got what I need and I'm an overcomer and I've got a God who exceeds my need I love the story of naman I love the story of how his maid who was a little Hebrew girl who is enslaved probably conquered in one of his one of his Wars that he fought against Israel and she was enslaved and in one day she saw him dying of leprosy and she said to him I wish you would go down to Samaria there's a prophet there that could heal you he's a man of God and in desperation he said I'll go history records that Samaria was 120 miles he journeyed on a horse or whatever it was that was carrying him for a hung and 20 miles when he got there he thought well surely this prophet will make a big deal I'm a general I am a big shot I'm a wealthy powerful famous man but he was a leper and when the Prophet saw him and when he got there he was welcomed by nobody he found a very anti-social prophet his lip was curled up over his chin he could care less I could see him sitting on his rocker on his front porch and here comes this powerful rich wealthy man with all of his entourage and they all come pulling up and he is not impressed at all and he says well I'm here what do you want me to do to get healed and the Prophet would not even acknowledge him he told his servant tell him for me to go down to the Jordan River which is another 30 miles by the way which is a total of 150 miles and tell him to dip seven times and if he'll duck seven times in the pond that seven ducks in the pond if he will duck seven times in the pond he will be healed now tell you that man got all mad and got all upset and was about to go off in anger and suddenly somebody said why don't you just do what he said do and he agreed and he fussed about it he said there's closer rivers and cleaner rivers why do I have to go down here I don't like that River it's a nasty river it's the most unpopular river but he winning God in the river and when he came up the seventh time he didn't just get healed but the Bible said his skin was the skin of a new born baby I could see him in my mind is he I think he loved that River I can prove it scripture the river that he hated the river that he mauled the river that he despised now when he came up that seven time he splashed I don't think they could get him out of the water I think he was weeping and crying and laughing and and laughing and splashing and laughing and crying and praising god oh my god I can go back to my wife I can go back to my children I can I can I can interact with human beings again I can have a life I can I can enjoy myself I got my life back he's splashing around and then he gets a great idea he says you know what they said come on you got to get out of there he said well I do have to go back to Syria but in Syria they worship the idol called Raymond and he said I like this so much help me and he dug mud from the riverbank and the Bible said he put so much mud in bags that it was to mule loads from the Jordan River he got so much of that say God doesn't just heal your body meat you need hit watch him he doesn't just want you to have Church in the river he wants you to take he wants you to go home with something and so he exceeds the knee and can you see him packing down to new loads a mud from the river and he gets back and the Bible says what he said he was gonna do with it he said I'm gonna go in the temple of Raymond and that's where they worship their God but he said I'm gonna take me some holy ground in there and I'm gonna throw it down on the ground and I'm gonna stand on that mud from the river of the God who healed me in that river and I'm gonna raise my hands and worship the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and they can worship all the devils they want but where I am is holy ground cuz he doesn't just meet my needs here but he says why don't you take some home with you why don't you I don't care where you work I don't care what hostile environment you're in I don't care if you're the only one living for God on the campus I don't care if nobody else is serving God in your family do you know that God has so much grace that he says if I can get one person they can take and make that place holy ground and my ground will take over the devil's ground I need some to give God a shout oh it's the truth hallelujah praise God he exceeds the need in 2nd Kings chapter 4 when he told the widow woman to get in borrow vessels and start pouring a little bit of old that she had in the old wit and run out and it filled every vessel that she had and then God said through the Prophet sail what you have now and pay your debt everybody say pay your debt God can remove debt from our life pay your debt but he doesn't stop there that would have been enough because you remember her sons were being enslaved for a debt that her dead husband couldn't pay and the next generation was about to be taken away and God gave her a miracle and said pay your debt and live on the rest just enjoy the rest of your life cuz I'm gonna exceed your knee I know you got a little knee but that need is not big enough for hat for me I have to I have to do press down if I won't do it
