Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh body, does it like your early morning praise party.
- 0:04Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie, and it's time right now for
- 0:07Speaker 1: today's word. He's the God of abundance. Matthew seventeen twenty
- 0:14Speaker 1: seven in the New Living Translation says, go down to
- 0:18Speaker 1: the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth
- 0:22Speaker 1: of the first fish you catch, and you will find
- 0:25Speaker 1: a large silver coin. Take it to pay the taxes
- 0:31Speaker 1: for both of us. You know, oftentimes when we look
- 0:36Speaker 1: at our circumstances, we get overwhelmed by what we see
- 0:41Speaker 1: in the natural. We look at our bank account or
- 0:44Speaker 1: financial situation, and we don't see how we can pay
- 0:48Speaker 1: our bills. We don't see owning a home, or just
- 0:53Speaker 1: doing any more than just renting, if you will. We
- 0:57Speaker 1: don't see having a dream, let alone own accomplishing our dreams.
- 1:03Speaker 1: With the state of our economies, uncertainty just looming around,
- 1:07Speaker 1: inflated gas prices, food prices being so high it's hard
- 1:12Speaker 1: to make a meal, and high interest rates, we may
- 1:16Speaker 1: not see away in the natural. But guess what God is.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Jehovah Jirah. He is our provider. God is a supernatural god.
- 1:27Speaker 1: We don't have to see it in the natural when
- 1:30Speaker 1: we come to the end of our resources. Guess what
- 1:33Speaker 1: we're right where He wants us to be completely trusting
- 1:37Speaker 1: and relying on him. He says, I'll make streams in
- 1:40Speaker 1: the desert. I'll take five lows in two fish and
- 1:43Speaker 1: multiply them to feed thousands. When Peter didn't have money
- 1:49Speaker 1: to pay the Temple text, Jesus told him to go
- 1:52Speaker 1: to the lake and first fish he caught would have
- 1:56Speaker 1: a coin in its mouth that covered his and Jesus tax.
- 2:01Speaker 1: You see, God was showing us in this example that
- 2:05Speaker 1: he has supernatural provision for us. He's not limited by
- 2:09Speaker 1: what you don't have. He's not limited by your education,
- 2:13Speaker 1: or your career, or who may be in what position.
- 2:17Speaker 1: You may be barely getting by today, but you're going
- 2:21Speaker 1: to come out of not enough into more than enough.
- 2:26Speaker 1: God is not a get by God. He's an overflow God.
- 2:31Speaker 1: He's a God of abundance. So don't live with lack
- 2:35Speaker 1: or a lack mentality, a limited mindset. Stop looking and
- 2:40Speaker 1: focusing on your circumstances. You need to have an abundant
- 2:44Speaker 1: mentality because He is the God of abundance. Father, thank
- 2:48Speaker 1: you that you are away where there seems to be
- 2:53Speaker 1: no way and you're not limited by our circumstances or
- 2:56Speaker 1: what things have been like in our lives. Thank you
- 3:00Speaker 1: that we are in the palms of your hands and
- 3:02Speaker 1: you have supernatural ways of providing for what we need.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Help us God to have an abundance mentality and to
- 3:10Speaker 1: believe for overflow in our lives in Jesus' name. Hey,
- 3:15Speaker 1: now that your work for today, take it, apply to
- 3:18Speaker 1: your everyday life and you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
- 3:21Speaker 1: It's Hirley Body Praise Party. I am Sherry Mackie.
