  Matthew 6 Let us pray. Lord our God, thank you.
• 0:10
  Thank you Jesus for another day. Thank you Jesus for waking us
• 0:14
  up, for you are holy, you are righteous, you are pure, and you
• 0:19
  are good. You are lovely.
• 0:22
  We are in love with you. Thank you, Jesus, for your
• 0:27
  sacrifice. Thank you, Jesus, for the death
• 0:30
  on the cross. Thank you, Jesus, for the
• 0:34
  atoning blood that covers us. Thank you Jesus, for life
• 0:38
  abundant. Thank you Jesus, for a life
• 0:41
  worth living. Thank you, Jesus, for the
• 0:44
  indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus, that we are
• 0:48
  the temple of God. Thank you Jesus that you have
• 0:51
  come and you will come and you are coming.
• 0:55
  Thank you Jesus that we can see our redemption is near.
• 0:58
  Thank you Jesus that we see the leaves on the fig tree.
• 1:03
  We know that summer is near. Thank you Jesus, we see you
• 1:08
  rightly. Thank you Jesus, we see your
• 1:10
  hair like wool, your eyes of fire and the two edged sword
• 1:14
  from your mouth. We see that you are the Son of
• 1:19
  God. You are the long-awaited
• 1:23
  Messiah, the Christ Jesus of Nazareth, the branch.
• 1:27
  We thank you, Father, for giving us the down payment of the Holy
• 1:32
  Spirit. We thank you, Father, that you
• 1:34
  have given us our next breath. Thank you Yahweh, thank you,
• 1:40
  Yahweh, for all of the many blessings that you have bestowed
• 1:44
  upon us today. Thank you that your mercies are
• 1:47
  new every day. Thank you for the Holy
• 1:49
  Scriptures that are alive and active that we hold in our
• 1:53
  hands. Thank you, God, that you've
• 1:55
  given us your voice on pages to read and to hold and to memorize
• 1:59
  and to hide. God, Holy Spirit, come in and
• 2:03
  teach us. Holy Spirit, fill us today.
• 2:07
  Holy Spirit, fill us overflowing.
• 2:10
  Holy Spirit, teach us and guide us.
• 2:13
  I decrease as you increase. Holy Spirit, you are the
• 2:17
  greatest teacher. And so as we read and hear your
• 2:22
  words today, let them reverberate off the rafters.
• 2:28
  Let them go deep into the DNA. Father, I pray that they become
• 2:32
  one with us. God, I pray that they are part
• 2:36
  of our mindset, of our thoughts and emotions.
• 2:40
  God, we push down all the cares of this world.
• 2:44
  God, we stiff arm all the cares and the worries of this world.
• 2:49
  God, we believe and we trust and we increase our faith today.
• 2:54
  God heal us from on high. Lord, I pray that we can touch
• 2:58
  the hem of your garment. God, I pray healing over our
• 3:02
  bodies. I pray healing over our minds.
• 3:06
  I pray healing over our emotions.
• 3:09
  I pray healing over our families.
• 3:12
  I pray healing over our neighborhoods.
• 3:16
  I pray healing God over marriages, I pray healing over
• 3:21
  relationships. Parents and children, I pray
• 3:24
  healing. Father, in the name of Jesus
• 3:29
  from on high, pray healing. God, I pray for a divine
• 3:33
  appointment today. God, I pray that you'll give us
• 3:36
  the strength today to share our testimony with someone.
• 3:42
  God, I pray that you will help us and fuel us for the journey.
• 3:47
  God, give us our marching orders.
• 3:48
  We are acknowledging you today. So God, we are asking that
• 3:52
  you'll direct our steps. Lord, let us not miss out on
• 3:56
  what you have for us today. Let us not miss out on the great
• 3:59
  adventure that you've called us to.
• 4:01
  God, let us not be sidelined with cares and worries and
• 4:05
  doubts. Father, I pray in the name of
• 4:08
  Jesus, God, we can lay all of that down and that we can count
• 4:13
  the cost, Father, and come running hard after you.
• 4:17
  Let us sell everything to buy the field, God, for we know that
• 4:22
  you, Jesus, are the buried treasure.
• 4:25
  And so, Lord, we sell everything for you, Father Jesus Christ,
• 4:30
  Holy Spirit, we love you. We worship you in spirit and
• 4:38
  truth today. Thank you for all the many
• 4:40
  blessings. God, thank you for our very next
• 4:43
  breath. Thank you for one more day to
• 4:46
  serve you and to get to know you more.
• 4:49
  Teach us your ways. Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ,
• 4:54
  holy, worthy and precious name, I pray, Amen.
• 5:01
  Let's start in verse one. Take heed that you do not your
• 5:10
  alms before men to be seen of them, otherwise you have no
• 5:16
  reward of your Father, which is in heaven.
• 5:20
  What's he talking about? He's talking about giving our
• 5:28
  alms, giving our tithes, giving our offerings.
• 5:33
  He's talking about giving of ourselves so that we make a show
• 5:38
  out of it. He's talking about whenever we
• 5:42
  do something for the Lord and then we go around telling
• 5:46
  everybody that we did it, He says you will have no reward,
• 5:50
  that you've already received your reward, which is the
• 5:53
  praises of men. Whenever we go around telling
• 5:57
  everybody how righteous we are and people applaud us, God says
• 6:02
  that's all the reward that you will ever get, friend.
• 6:07
  Verse 2. Therefore, when you do your
• 6:10
  alms, do not sound the trumpet before yourself as the
• 6:14
  hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they
• 6:19
  may have glory of men. Truly I say to you, they have
• 6:23
  their reward. These are the self-righteous,
• 6:28
  these are the hypocrites. These are the ones who love to
• 6:33
  be seen giving their tithes and their offerings and their time,
• 6:40
  and they might volunteer, but they sure will let you know of
• 6:46
  all the good things that they're doing.
• 6:48
  And God says that is your reward when people are applauding you
• 6:55
  for the things that you're giving and doing and all the
• 6:58
  sacrifices you're making, when you go around telling everybody
• 7:02
  there is no reward in that. And I just want to make a quick
• 7:06
  statement here. Rewards are built in to the
• 7:11
  Christian walk, friends. You cannot get out of Matthew
• 7:16
  5-6 here. You cannot get out of this
• 7:19
  Beatitudes without seeing how many times Jesus Christ himself
• 7:24
  has a reference rewards and there are a lot of people who
• 7:29
  would say well wait a second, we are not saved by works so that
• 7:34
  anyone should boast and to that the Bible is explicitly clear.
• 7:41
  However, rewards are built in to the walk and we should not
• 7:47
  strive after the rewards. All of the things that Jesus is
• 7:51
  pointing out is the hypocrisy of the religious folk.
• 7:56
  But those of us who are pure in heart who will see God.
• 8:02
  This is the natural overflow of a life sold out to King Jesus. 3
• 8:10
  But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your
• 8:15
  right hand does. I believe that this is whenever
• 8:20
  we are secret in our giving of our time and energy and effort
• 8:26
  and money. Whenever you pick somebody up on
• 8:29
  the side of the road to give them a ride and then you don't
• 8:34
  tell anyone about it. Whenever you give someone money
• 8:38
  or buy someone's groceries and you don't tell anyone about it.
• 8:43
  This is not letting your left hand know what your right hand
• 8:49
  is doing. We've got a lot of right hand
• 8:55
  men, right hand women. We have a lot of people that we
• 8:58
  trust, specifically our spouses. And no, we should not hide
• 9:05
  anything from them, but we sure do not have to ask their
• 9:10
  permission to do the Lord's work.
• 9:13
  And I believe that is what He is referencing here.
• 9:16
  Friends, we need to be obedient unto the Father first.
• 9:21
  We should not let anyone hold us back from doing God's work,
• 9:27
  especially when He is speaking boldly and loudly to you and
• 9:33
  whenever you are going down the road and He says stop, help
• 9:37
  those people. And we need to have discernment.
• 9:40
  We need to know what the voice of the Lord sounds like that
• 9:43
  tugging. We need to know so that we do
• 9:45
  not fall into a trap. We do not fall into hard times.
• 9:53
  We need to know that we know that we know that we know that
• 9:56
  God is speaking to us. And that comes from a lifetime
• 10:00
  of being sold out to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
• 10:05
  For that your alms may be in secret, and that your father,
• 10:11
  which sees in secret himself, shall reward you openly.
• 10:16
  This is what it looks like whenever.
• 10:19
  We don't care about the rewards. We don't care if anyone sees.
• 10:24
  We don't go around telling everybody about what we're doing
• 10:28
  for God. We let God and God alone be the
• 10:31
  judge. We let God alone look and see.
• 10:36
  We do it all for God. We do it all for Jesus.
• 10:39
  We do it all for the Holy Spirit.
• 10:40
  We do it because of the abundance of love that He
• 10:43
  lavishes upon us. The natural overflow is that we
• 10:46
  will love our neighbors. And when we do that, friends,
• 10:51
  God sees and he will openly reward you. 5 And when you pray,
• 11:01
  you do not be as the hypocrites, for they love to pray, standing
• 11:05
  in the synagogues, in the corners of the streets, that
• 11:09
  they may be seen of men. Truly I say unto you, they have
• 11:14
  their reward. This is the babbling brook.
• 11:19
  This is the one who just loves to hear themselves talk.
• 11:23
  This is the one who wants to be seen.
• 11:27
  And God is saying, do not be like them, they have their
• 11:31
  reward. When people are inspired by
• 11:35
  their long winded prayers and how eloquent they are, God says
• 11:41
  that's all the reward that they will ever get.
• 11:44
  He's going to tell us how we should pray. 6 But you, when you
• 11:50
  pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your
• 11:54
  door, pray to the Father, which is in secret, and your Father
• 11:59
  which sees in secret, will reward you openly.
• 12:04
  This is how the Lord desires for us to have our prayer life.
• 12:11
  It is an intimate occasion with the Father.
• 12:15
  And yes, we should give to people openly and should not be
• 12:21
  afraid of losing a reward because we did it in front of
• 12:24
  somebody. And yes, we should pray openly
• 12:27
  in front of people and should not be concerned about losing
• 12:32
  our reward if we do pray in front of people.
• 12:35
  But God is telling us by and large that it should not be a
• 12:39
  show, friends, that it should not be.
• 12:43
  The main time that you give is when everybody can see.
• 12:47
  The main time that you pray is that when everybody will hear.
• 12:51
  He says. There is no reward in that,
• 12:54
  Friends. 7:00 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as
• 13:05
  the heathen do, for they think that they shall be heard for
• 13:09
  their much speaking. What's he talking about here?
• 13:13
  He says, But when you pray, he doesn't say.
• 13:16
  But if you pray, he says when you pray.
• 13:19
  Prayer is built into the Christian walk, Friends.
• 13:24
  Prayerlessness is a sign of someone who is an atheist.
• 13:34
  They do not truly believe in God.
• 13:36
  If there is prayerlessness. It takes faith, friends, to
• 13:41
  pray. It takes faith to know that God
• 13:44
  is real. It takes faith to know that God
• 13:48
  is listening. It takes faith to know that God
• 13:51
  is going to answer your prayers and we should be prayerful.
• 13:56
  It's not if you pray. It is when you pray.
• 14:00
  And God is concerned about all prayers, friends.
• 14:05
  It is our communication with Him.
• 14:07
  And so many of us don't start praying until there is a crisis.
• 14:15
  Far be it from us to only pray when we need something.
• 14:19
  Far be it from us to only pray whenever we are in a crisis.
• 14:26
  We need to be prayerful about all things all the time.
• 14:30
  There is no such thing as too small of a prayer and God is so
• 14:35
  grand. God is all-encompassing.
• 14:38
  God can hear all of our prayers all at once, all the time.
• 14:43
  He is not too busy to hear your popcorn prayer, Friends.
• 14:47
  Throw it up there, friends. Give him His glory.
• 14:51
  Give him His dew. Pray while you're riding down
• 14:54
  the road with your eyes wide open.
• 14:56
  Pray whenever you are at home laying in the bed.
• 15:00
  Pray on your knees. Pray on your stomach.
• 15:03
  Pray with your eyes open and closed.
• 15:06
  Pray at all times. Never stop praying.
• 15:10
  Pray without ceasing. Take every thought captive.
• 15:14
  Turn it into a prayer. Friends, hey, be not you
• 15:23
  therefore like unto them, for your Father knows what things
• 15:28
  you have need of before you ask him.
• 15:30
  So this is a beautiful picture of God already knowing our
• 15:36
  needs. And He is desirous of dialogue.
• 15:41
  He is desirous of us up ticking our prayer life.
• 15:46
  God is desirous to hear from you, friends, God wants to hear
• 15:50
  your voice. 9 After this manner, Therefore pray you, our Father,
• 16:02
  which is in heaven, holy is your name. 10 Your Kingdom come, and
• 16:10
  your will be done in earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this
• 16:16
  day Our Daily Bread. 12 Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
• 16:22
  debtors. 13 Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
• 16:27
  evil, for yours is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory
• 16:34
  forever. Amen.
• 16:36
  So here is a beautiful model prayer.
• 16:39
  This is the Lords prayer and Jesus here is giving us an
• 16:44
  outline. It is not that we just have the
• 16:47
  vain repetition that he just mentioned in the verses above.
• 16:52
  This should be the this is the model.
• 16:56
  This is not just what we should pray exactly like this.
• 17:01
  But if you notice, the very first thing he's doing is he is
• 17:05
  acknowledging God's supremacy. He's acknowledging God's
• 17:09
  holiness. He is acknowledging how set
• 17:13
  apart God's name is, friends. And then he's praying for God's
• 17:18
  Kingdom and God's will to be done, not our own.
• 17:22
  It takes our eyes off of self and it puts them on God
• 17:27
  Almighty. Then He flows into Our Daily
• 17:31
  Bread, our sustenance. He gives us just enough for the
• 17:35
  day, friends. He gives us exactly what we
• 17:39
  need. Then that flows in to our
• 17:45
  forgiveness. If you believe that you've been
• 17:47
  forgiven of all your sins of the natural overflows, that you will
• 17:50
  extend that out to people all around you.
• 17:54
  You will not hold on to bitterness, friends.
• 17:58
  You will not be those that have hatred in their hearts.
• 18:02
  You will see people the way that God does and it will be easy for
• 18:06
  you to forgive them. We are called to be ministers of
• 18:10
  reconciliation. It's an easy overflow to forgive
• 18:16
  people because of all the forgiveness that we have
• 18:19
  experienced. He's asking that God will not
• 18:24
  allow us to be tempted, that God will rebuke the Devourer from
• 18:29
  off of our lives. He's asking here in this model
• 18:32
  prayer that the tempter will leave in the name of Jesus.
• 18:39
  And he's asking to be delivered from the enemy.
• 18:43
  And then he acknowledges he is. Book ends.
• 18:46
  At the end of our prayers, we go back to acknowledging God's
• 18:50
  supremacy. For His is the Kingdom, and His
• 18:55
  is the power, and His is the glory, forever and ever.
• 18:59
  Amen. This is the model of how we
• 19:03
  should base our prayer lives. 14 For if you forgive men their
• 19:11
  trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
• 19:15
  So here, 14 he's backing up the thought of forgive us our debts
• 19:23
  as we forgive our debtors. And then he says that we should
• 19:26
  forgive because of our forgiveness that we've
• 19:29
  experienced. Then 15 says, But if you do not
• 19:33
  forgive people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
• 19:37
  your trespasses. So he's showing us how a
• 19:41
  believer will behave, not how we should behave, but how we will
• 19:47
  behave. Because of all the forgiveness
• 19:50
  that we have experienced. It is natural for us to forgive
• 19:54
  those 16. Moreover, when you fast.
• 20:02
  Do not be as the hypocrites of a of a sad countenance, for they
• 20:07
  disfigure their faces that they may appear unto men to fast.
• 20:12
  Truly, I say unto you, they have their reward.
• 20:16
  So these were the Pharisees. These were the religious folk of
• 20:20
  Jesus's day. And it's no different in our
• 20:22
  time here, friends in our our friends, people who fast, they
• 20:27
  want to let you know really quickly, I'm fasting.
• 20:30
  I can't have that. And God says you have your
• 20:33
  reward. These people, they would
• 20:35
  disfigure their faces and they would show everybody that they
• 20:39
  were fasting and they did it on specific days.
• 20:41
  It was no secret. And Jesus said when you fast,
• 20:45
  not if. So fasting should be built into
• 20:50
  the Christian walk just as much as giving our tithes and
• 20:55
  offerings and of ourselves and our time and our treasures.
• 20:59
  And it is built into the Christian wall just as much as
• 21:03
  our prayer life is built into the wall, just as much as
• 21:07
  rewards are built into the Christian wall.
• 21:11
  Fasting is also built in France. It's all part of God's plan for
• 21:17
  us to mirror His goodness and grace and mercy to the nations.
• 21:24
  And fasting is a fast track way for your prayers to get
• 21:29
  answered. Some things only go out by
• 21:32
  prayer and fasting. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head,
• 21:42
  wash your face, 18 that you appear not unto men to fast, but
• 21:48
  unto your Father which is in secret.
• 21:51
  And your Father which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
• 21:57
  Any of us who have been walking with the Lord for any amount of
• 21:59
  time, we understand this principle.
• 22:02
  We understand how God not only will reward us on the day of our
• 22:08
  judgment, we will be rewarded. Most of what we do is wood, hay,
• 22:13
  and stubble. But there are things that we do
• 22:16
  in secret that God sees and He will reward us.
• 22:19
  And those rewards we will take with us for all of eternity,
• 22:23
  friends. But He also openly rewards us
• 22:27
  here in the now. And people will say that is
• 22:30
  called favor, and perhaps the favor that you are experiencing,
• 22:35
  friend, all the things you do and you do not seek men's
• 22:39
  approval. And perhaps if you feel like
• 22:42
  God's hand is heavy upon you, it's because you're one of those
• 22:46
  who every time you do something, you want everybody to know about
• 22:49
  it. And there is no reward in that,
• 22:51
  friends. 19. Do not lay up for yourselves
• 22:57
  treasures on Earth, where moth and rust corrupts, where thieves
• 23:02
  break in and steal. 20 but lay. Up for yourselves treasures in
• 23:08
  heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves
• 23:13
  do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is there
• 23:19
  your heart will be also. So here is a principle 19 and 20
• 23:24
  and 21 are all grouped together of what it looks like when we
• 23:29
  send it ahead. There's a lot of people that
• 23:32
  this is their Kingdom here on this earth and they're trying to
• 23:35
  build their Kingdom up and God is saying send it ahead.
• 23:40
  You cannot outgive God with your treasures, your talents, your
• 23:44
  resources, your time. You cannot outgive God.
• 23:48
  Anything that we sow into the Kingdom will be magnified and it
• 23:54
  will produce a crop. Just send it ahead friends.
• 23:58
  And that is not somebody who is interested in your financial
• 24:04
  status. This is coming from somebody who
• 24:07
  truly cares about your spirituality way more than your
• 24:12
  financial status. Send it ahead.
• 24:19
  Friends, you'll never regret it. God can take the $1.00 and He
• 24:24
  can turn it into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• 24:28
  God can take our small obedience and turn it into an entire
• 24:34
  ministry that reaches hundreds of thousands of people.
• 24:39
  Friends, don't discount the small gifts and the small
• 24:45
  amount. Send it ahead, friends, where it
• 24:49
  can be used mightily in the Kingdom of God.
• 24:52
  And when you give, not if, but when you give, you give to God,
• 24:58
  you do not give to man. Never forget that.
• 25:01
  What man does with it, from that point forward, he is accountable
• 25:06
  unto God, and he will answer for that.
• 25:08
  Friends, we give to God, we do not give to man. 22 the.
• 25:18
  Light of the body is the eye. If your eye be single, your
• 25:22
  whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if your eye is
• 25:27
  evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness.
• 25:31
  It If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great
• 25:36
  is that darkness? So 22 and 23, it shows us the
• 25:41
  eyes or the windows to the soul. It shows us that we need to be
• 25:45
  very keenly in tune with someone whenever they are trying to sell
• 25:51
  us something, whenever they are trying to push something upon
• 25:55
  us. God is telling us there are
• 25:57
  intelligence indicators that we can look for.
• 26:00
  The shifty eyes, the ones who will not look at you, the ones
• 26:05
  who are bent upon evil. Goddess showing us that there
• 26:09
  are indicators. If your radar is on and your
• 26:12
  antenna is up, you should be able to discern that.
• 26:15
  Friends, He's showing us how 24. No man can serve 2 masters or he
• 26:22
  will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to
• 26:26
  the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon.
• 26:32
  What is this Mammon that is spoke of here in 24?
• 26:37
  It is showing us that we cannot serve both God and money.
• 26:43
  You will love 1. And you will hate the other.
• 26:45
  There are a lot of people where money is their God.
• 26:49
  They believe that money is going to buy them all of their
• 26:52
  happiness. They believe that money can fix
• 26:56
  everything. And they are so completely bent
• 26:59
  upon money. And they nod their hat at God.
• 27:04
  And they are speaking as if they love God, but deep down they
• 27:09
  love money. And God is saying you cannot
• 27:12
  serve both him and money. It takes faith to serve God.
• 27:17
  Faith is the currency of the believer, friends, It is not the
• 27:21
  almighty dollar. It is almighty God that we
• 27:24
  serve. 25 Therefore I say unto you, Do not take thought for
• 27:31
  your life what you shall eat and what you shall drink, nor yet
• 27:35
  for your body what you shall put on.
• 27:38
  Is not life more than meat in the body, more than clothing?
• 27:42
  What's he talking about here in 25?
• 27:45
  He's saying that do not be so preoccupied with money and with
• 27:49
  things. He's saying trust God for
• 27:52
  everything. 26 Behold. The fowls of the air, for they
• 27:57
  do not, so neither do they reap, nor do they gather into barns.
• 28:02
  Yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
• 28:04
  Are you not much better than they?
• 28:06
  He's saying look at the birds. Notice how God feeds them, but
• 28:10
  also notice how the birds get out and work.
• 28:14
  The birds do not sit in their nest with their mouth open,
• 28:17
  waiting for worms to drop out of the sky.
• 28:20
  God expects them to get out into work, but He provides for them.
• 28:23
  Friends. 27 Which of you, by taking thought, can add 1 cubit
• 28:30
  unto your statue? 28 And why take you thought for
• 28:36
  clothing? Consider the lilies of the
• 28:38
  field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do
• 28:42
  they spend. 29 And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon and
• 28:47
  all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore
• 28:51
  if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and
• 28:56
  tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe
• 29:00
  you, O you of little faith? Faith is the currency that we
• 29:04
  operate out of friends, He's saying, Who of you by worrying,
• 29:08
  can add a single day to your life?
• 29:10
  Who of you by worrying can add a single inch to your stature?
• 29:15
  Who of you by worrying can do anything?
• 29:18
  It is by faith. Friends, look at how God feeds
• 29:21
  the birds and he clothes the lilies of the field and he says
• 29:26
  be content with clothing and food.
• 29:30
  Do not worry about everything else.
• 29:32
  God will take care of it. He's telling us that we need to
• 29:36
  have faith. That is the currency that we
• 29:38
  operate out of. 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What
• 29:43
  shall we eat, what shall we drink, where, how shall we be
• 29:48
  clothed? 32 For after all these things
• 29:51
  the Gentiles seek, for, your heavenly Father knows that you
• 29:55
  have need of all these things he's saying.
• 29:58
  Don't worry about it, Put it in God's hands.
• 30:01
  Trust that God knows what he's doing.
• 30:03
  If there's lack in your house, friends, it is only perceived
• 30:07
  lack because God does not withhold.
• 30:11
  If there is lack in your house, it's because God desires to pull
• 30:15
  things out of you that do not belong.
• 30:17
  A lot of us, our problems are first world problems.
• 30:21
  Friends, we need to put everything into context and we
• 30:26
  need to understand that God gives us our clothing.
• 30:29
  God gives us our food. It is a promise.
• 30:32
  When you become a child of the Most high God, He will clothe
• 30:36
  you and He will feed you. He promises that. 33 he tells.
• 30:41
  Us why there is lack. He tells us why there is
• 30:45
  perceived lack in 33. He says, Seek first the Kingdom
• 30:50
  of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be
• 30:56
  added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for
• 31:00
  tomorrow, for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of
• 31:03
  itself. Sufficient unto the day is the
• 31:07
  evil thereof. God saying that today's hard
• 31:11
  enough. Don't worry about.
• 31:14
  Tomorrow, don't worry yourself into anxiety and depression.
• 31:18
  Don't worry about anything but seek first the Kingdom of God.
• 31:23
  Seek it in the morning, friends, when you first wake up and watch
• 31:26
  how the overflow of God's peace comes flowing into your life.
• 31:31
  And you know that you know that you know that God is in the
• 31:34
  room. You know that.
• 31:35
  You know that you know that God is going to take care of you.
• 31:40
  This is the promise. That we have.
• 31:42
  Praise God for this chapter here in the Bible.
• 31:45
  I hope you've been blessed by it.
• 31:46
  I know, I sure have. I'm praying for.
• 31:52
  Every single one of you. I love you.
• 31:56
  So does God. We'll see you back here
• 31:58
  tomorrow. God bless you.
