- 3:44Speaker 2: As a story begins. You find yourself seated on a
- 3:54Speaker 2: boat with a hundred other people on the Sea of Galilee.
- 4:00Speaker 2: It's midday and you feel the warmth of the sun
- 4:03Speaker 2: shine on your body. Water from the sea splashes gently
- 4:07Speaker 2: on your face. As you see the shore line approaching,
- 4:12Speaker 2: you gently massage your sore feet before reaching land. Your
- 4:18Speaker 2: faith for the impossible is at an all time ere.
- 4:23Speaker 2: People have been receiving miraculous answers to prayer the entire morning.
- 4:29Speaker 2: As the boat docks on the shore, you feel a
- 4:32Speaker 2: sense of childlike wonder and excitement, anticipating what will happen next.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Looking around, you see thousands of agitated people to your
- 4:45Speaker 2: right and left, pushing and shoving to find the seat
- 4:49Speaker 2: closest to Jesus and his disciples. You find a peaceful
- 4:55Speaker 2: spot close to the Messiah and take your sandals off
- 4:59Speaker 2: and set your mat down. The green grass is soft
- 5:03Speaker 2: under the soles of your feet. How does it feel
- 5:08Speaker 2: to be in Jesus presence? Close your eyes and breathe
- 5:15Speaker 2: in God's presence. He is the good shepherd who leads
- 5:20Speaker 2: you to still Waters. He is the same yesterday, today,
- 5:27Speaker 2: and forevermore. He delights in every detail of your life
- 5:33Speaker 2: and knows your problems and needs before you even pray
- 5:36Speaker 2: about them. Take a moment and whisper to Jesus how
- 5:42Speaker 2: much you love him. Lay down your needs and concerns
- 5:47Speaker 2: at his feet, and tell him how much you trust
- 5:51Speaker 2: him to provide. Breathe in God's peace that transcends all understanding.
- 6:01Speaker 2: You are loved. Take off the heavy yoke of anxiety
- 6:06Speaker 2: and bondage, and put on his yoke, which is easy
- 6:11Speaker 2: and light. He provides for all your needs according to
- 6:16Speaker 2: his riches and glory. Jesus begins to teach about the
- 6:26Speaker 2: good shepherd who leaves the ninety nine for one sheep
- 6:30Speaker 2: that has gone astray. You sense the compassion in his voice.
- 6:36Speaker 2: He looks around and gently states, I am the good Shepherd,
- 6:43Speaker 2: and lead you beside still Waters. All who hunger and
- 6:48Speaker 2: thirst for righteousness shall be filled. Seek ye first the
- 6:53Speaker 2: Kingdom and My righteousness, and all of these things that
- 6:58Speaker 2: you are praying for added unto you. Do you see
- 7:03Speaker 2: the sparrows in the sky, not one of them falls
- 7:07Speaker 2: to the ground outside of my Father's will. Are you
- 7:11Speaker 2: not worth much more than they? You are my beloved
- 7:17Speaker 2: in whom I am well pleased. You are created for
- 7:21Speaker 2: my pleasure. You are my masterpiece, and your life is
- 7:29Speaker 2: in my hands. As your shepherd, I lead you from
- 7:35Speaker 2: glory to glory. Trust in me. Rest your heart and
- 7:42Speaker 2: believe that I love you. How does it feel to
- 7:48Speaker 2: know that Jesus is your shepherd who leaves the ninety
- 7:51Speaker 2: nine other sheep just for you. Close your eyes and
- 7:59Speaker 2: breathe in God's presence. You are God's masterpiece and he
- 8:06Speaker 2: desires to prosper. You see his loving eyes and shepherd's staff.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Rest your heart, knowing that he is praying for you
- 8:18Speaker 2: at all times. All things are working together for your
- 8:25Speaker 2: good because he loves you. Jesus restores the years the
- 8:32Speaker 2: locust has eaten, and his desire for your life is
- 8:36Speaker 2: overflow of provision. Feel the Father embrace you, and let
- 8:47Speaker 2: your worries and concerns fall to the wayside. The sun
- 8:54Speaker 2: is beginning to set and the crowd is tired and hungry.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Piples tell Jesus to send the multitudes away. There is
- 9:05Speaker 2: not enough money or food to feed all five thousand
- 9:08Speaker 2: of you. Jesus looks down, then turns his head and
- 9:15Speaker 2: looks directly at you. See the peace and love in
- 9:21Speaker 2: his compassionate eyes. He smiles at you, and joy fills
- 9:29Speaker 2: your heart. You sense the crowd beginning to quiet down,
- 9:35Speaker 2: The winds become very still, and time itself begins to
- 9:40Speaker 2: slow down. Everywhere around you begins looking off towards Jesus
- 9:47Speaker 2: as he extends his hands to pray over the Five
- 9:50Speaker 2: loaves and two fish. Silence has replaced the noise of
- 9:56Speaker 2: the crowd. As all eyes are on Jesus, you can
- 10:03Speaker 2: hear your own breath. Jesus looks up and thanks the
- 10:09Speaker 2: Father and declares that he is Jehovah Jirah, our provider.
- 10:18Speaker 2: How does it feel knowing that God himself is your provider?
- 10:23Speaker 2: Lay your head down on his chest and feel his peace.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Breathe in God's presence. Feel the peace of the Holy
- 10:37Speaker 2: Spirit overwhelm your hearts and mind. He has everything in
- 10:43Speaker 2: your life under control. There is nothing too hard for
- 10:48Speaker 2: the Lord. He cares for you so much, the circumstances
- 10:56Speaker 2: of your life earned his mighty hands. Breathe out and
- 11:03Speaker 2: whisper to Jesus, you are Jehovah. Jairah, my provider. You
- 11:10Speaker 2: are the same, yesterday to day and forevermore. You do
- 11:17Speaker 2: exceedingly abundantly above all that I can ask or think.
- 11:24Speaker 2: You are more than able to provide for all my
- 11:26Speaker 2: needs according to your riches. In glory. You see a
- 11:36Speaker 2: golden glory emanating from Jesus hands. Your heart overflows with
- 11:42Speaker 2: thankfulness in anticipation of what is coming next. What is
- 11:51Speaker 2: this man truly capable of? Jesus begins breaking the loaves
- 11:57Speaker 2: and dividing the fish in baskets for the disciples to
- 12:00Speaker 2: distribute to those looking on. The baskets are full to
- 12:05Speaker 2: the brim with fish and bread, and the people begin
- 12:09Speaker 2: to praise God with great laughter and cheer. You hear

- 12:34Speaker 2: the children cease from crying, and five thousand people eat
- 12:38Speaker 2: to their hearts content. You look over at the disciples
- 12:44Speaker 2: table and there are twelve more baskets full of fish
- 12:47Speaker 2: and loaves. Close your eyes and thank God for answering
- 12:53Speaker 2: your prayers. He knows what you need before it even

- 13:06Speaker 2: see your prayers for provision being answered with overflow. He

- 33:43Speaker 2: my prayers and do exceedingly abundantly above all that I
- 33:48Speaker 2: can ask, think, or imagine. You are a good father,
- 33:55Speaker 2: and I am your beloved child in whom you are
- 33:58Speaker 2: well pleased, Holy Spirit. I invite you into my life
- 34:05Speaker 2: and receive your peace. Now to night. I will rest
- 34:12Speaker 2: in peace and safety because you, the Lord himself, watches
- 34:17Speaker 2: over me. I breathe in your peace that transcends all understanding.
- 34:26Speaker 2: I breathe out my worries in Jesus name. Amen. Now
- 34:35Speaker 2: drift off to the land of dreams. As a story begins.
- 34:47Speaker 2: You find yourself seated on a boat with a hundred
- 34:50Speaker 2: other people on the Sea of Galilee. It's midday and
- 34:56Speaker 2: you feel the warmth of the sunshine on your body.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Water from the sea splashes gently on your face. As
- 35:04Speaker 2: you see the shore line approaching. You gently massage your
- 35:09Speaker 2: sore feet before reaching land. Your faith for the impossible
- 35:15Speaker 2: is at an all time eye. People have been receiving
- 35:20Speaker 2: miraculous answers to prayer the entire morning. As the boat
- 35:26Speaker 2: docks on the shore, you feel a sense of childlike
- 35:29Speaker 2: wonder and excitement, anticipating what will happen next. Looking around,
- 35:39Speaker 2: you see thousands of agitated people to your right and left,
- 35:43Speaker 2: pushing and shoving to find the seat closest to Jesus
- 35:47Speaker 2: and his disciples. You find a peaceful spot close to
- 35:53Speaker 2: the Messiah, and take your sandals off and set your
- 35:56Speaker 2: mate down. The green grass is soft under the souls
- 36:02Speaker 2: of your feet. How does it feel to be in
- 36:06Speaker 2: Jesus presence? Close your eyes and breathe in God's presence.
- 36:16Speaker 2: He is the good shepherd who leads you to still waters.
- 36:22Speaker 2: He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. He delights
- 36:29Speaker 2: in every detail of your life and knows your problems
- 36:33Speaker 2: and needs before you even pray about them. Take a
- 36:38Speaker 2: moment and whisper to Jesus how much you love him.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Lay down your needs and concerns at his feet and
- 36:48Speaker 2: tell him how much you trust him to provide. Breathe
- 36:54Speaker 2: in God's peace that transcends all understanding. You are loved,
- 37:04Speaker 2: take off the heavy yoke of anxiety and bondage, and
- 37:08Speaker 2: put on his yoke, which is easy and light. He
- 37:14Speaker 2: provides for all your needs according to his riches and glory.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Jesus begins to teach about the good shepherd who leaves
- 37:28Speaker 2: the ninety nine for one sheep that has gone astray.
- 37:34Speaker 2: You sense the compassion in his voice. He looks around
- 37:39Speaker 2: and gently states, I am the good shepherd, and lead
- 37:44Speaker 2: you beside still waters. All who hunger and thirst for
- 37:50Speaker 2: righteousness shall be filled. Seek ye first the Kingdom and
- 37:56Speaker 2: my righteousness, and all of these things that you are
- 38:00Speaker 2: praying for shall be added unto you. Do you see
- 38:05Speaker 2: the sparrows in the sky, Not one of them falls
- 38:09Speaker 2: to the ground outside of my father's will? Are you
- 38:14Speaker 2: not worth much more than they? You are my beloved
- 38:19Speaker 2: in whom I am well pleased. You are created for
- 38:24Speaker 2: my pleasure. You are my masterpiece, and your life is
- 38:32Speaker 2: in my hands. As your shepherd, I lead you from
- 38:39Speaker 2: glory to glory. Trust in me, rest your heart, and
- 38:46Speaker 2: believe that I love you. How does it feel to
- 38:53Speaker 2: know that Jesus is your shepherd who leaves the ninety
- 38:56Speaker 2: nine other sheep just for you? Close your eyes and

- 39:11Speaker 2: desires to prosper. You see his loving eyes and shepherd's staff.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Rest your heart, knowing that He is praying for you

- 39:42Speaker 2: overflow of provision. Feel the Father embrace you and let
- 39:53Speaker 2: your worries and concerns fall to the wayside. The sun
- 40:01Speaker 2: is beginning to set and the crowd is tired and hungry.
- 40:06Speaker 2: The disciples tell Jesus to send the multitudes away. There
- 40:12Speaker 2: is not enough money or food to feed all five
- 40:15Speaker 2: thousand of you. Jesus looks down, then turns his head
- 40:23Speaker 2: and looks directly at you. See the peace and love
- 40:29Speaker 2: in his compassionate eyes. He smiles at you, and joy
- 40:37Speaker 2: fills your heart. You sense the crowd beginning to quiet down.
- 40:44Speaker 2: The winds become very still, and time itself begins to
- 40:48Speaker 2: slow down. Everywhere around you begins to look in awe
- 40:54Speaker 2: towards Jesus as he extends his hands to prey over
- 40:58Speaker 2: the five loaves and two fish. Silence has replaced the
- 41:05Speaker 2: noise of the crowd. As all eyes are on Jesus,
- 41:12Speaker 2: you can hear your own breath. Jesus looks up and
- 41:19Speaker 2: thanks the Father and declares that he is Jehovah Jirah,
- 41:24Speaker 2: our provider. How does it feel knowing that God himself
- 41:30Speaker 2: is your provider? Lay your head down on his chest
- 41:36Speaker 2: and feel his peace. Breathe in God's presence. Feel the
- 41:47Speaker 2: peace of the Holy Spirit overwhelm your hearts and minds.

- 42:03Speaker 2: so much, the circumstances of your life earned his mighty hands.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Breathe out and whisper to Jesus, you are Yehovah Jirah,
- 42:20Speaker 2: my provider. You are the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.
- 42:30Speaker 2: You do exceedingly abundantly above all that I can ask
- 42:34Speaker 2: or think. You are more than able to provide for
- 42:39Speaker 2: all my needs according to your riches and glory. You

- 43:55Speaker 2: to their hearts content. You look over at the diciple's
- 44:00Speaker 2: table and there are twelve more baskets full of fish
