- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
- 0:04Speaker 1: and his time right now for today's word. When God
- 0:09Speaker 1: controls the fish, When God controls the fish, Luke five
- 0:16Speaker 1: and five says, But Simon answered and said to him.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Master, we've toiled all night and caught nothing.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Nevertheless, at your word, I'll let down the net. You know,
- 0:30Speaker 1: as Jesus preached along the Sea of Galilee, the crowd
- 0:34Speaker 1: pressed in so tightly that he got into Peter's boat
- 0:38Speaker 1: and pushed out from the shore so he could continue speaking.
- 0:43Speaker 1: When he finished, he gave Peter an unusual instruction, launch.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Peter had been fishing all night, y'all.
- 0:55Speaker 1: He was a professional fisherman, and he hadn't caught a thing.
- 1:00Speaker 2: He knew the.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Waters, he knew the right spots, he knew the right
- 1:03Speaker 1: times to fish. Logically, there was no way he would
- 1:08Speaker 1: catch anything more.
- 1:10Speaker 2: But Peter didn't argue.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Instead, he responded, Jesus, this doesn't make sense. Nevertheless, because
- 1:21Speaker 1: you say so, I'll do it, y'all. Is so important
- 1:24Speaker 1: to obey God, even when we don't understand all. The
- 1:30Speaker 1: result of Peter's obedience was miraculous. They caught so many
- 1:36Speaker 1: fish that their nets began to break, and when their
- 1:39Speaker 1: partners came in another boat, both boats were so full
- 1:44Speaker 1: they almost think. What Peter experience is a reminder that
- 1:49Speaker 1: God controls the outcomes of our lives, even when the
- 1:53Speaker 1: circumstances look impossible. He knows where provision is. He knows
- 1:58Speaker 1: how to restore us. He knows where the breakthroughs are hidden,
- 2:02Speaker 1: and he knows how to bring them to us, how
- 2:06Speaker 1: to make the right connections at the right time.
- 2:08Speaker 2: He knows where our favor is.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Sometimes God's instructions simply don't make sense in the natural.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Maybe it's a step of faith in your finances, a
- 2:23Speaker 1: bold move in your career, or trusting him in your relationships. Well,
- 2:29Speaker 1: just like Peter, the key is obedience, humbling ourselves and
- 2:34Speaker 1: following his word even when logic says otherwise. See, that's
- 2:39Speaker 1: when you experience the overflow, That's when you experience the abundance,
- 2:44Speaker 1: and that's when you experience the blessings that only come
- 2:48Speaker 1: from the hand of God.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Oh Father, God, thank you that you.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Control every area of our lives, including our provision, our opportunities,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and our breakthroughs. God help us to humble our selves
- 3:00Speaker 1: and obey your instructions even when we don't understand. Thank
- 3:04Speaker 1: you that when we trust and follow you, abundance and
- 3:08Speaker 1: favor will overflow in our lives. In Jesus' name. Now
- 3:13Speaker 1: that's your word for today. I want you to take
- 3:15Speaker 1: it apply to your everyday life. Who you continue to
- 3:20Speaker 1: be encouraged on your early morning praise party with me,
