This is “Four Ways God Provides Part 1”. When God sends a wave of blessing your way, there are 4 ways God can bless you. The waves of blessing are moving toward you, but God doesn’t always bless you the same way. So, how does God bless His people?

seated woo it feels like a Revival is
going on right now I’m EXC
excited
Hallelujah if you have your Bibles I
want you to open them with me to the
book
of uh Genesis chapter 45 let’s go to
Genesis chapter 45 I want you to know
that this message that I’m going to
preach um when the lord gave it to me I
I’m amazed sometimes when I go back and
find old notes this one goes back about
a decade or so probably more than than
that but the best that I could trace it
and I didn’t really know what I was
talking about in some of the things I I
did I had experienced it but I had no
idea how God would perform what I’m
going to preach to you today on the
other side
of and early this morning I felt like
the Lord really touched my heart to say
this at the beginning of this
message I’m going to preach on four ways
God will provide
four ways God will provide for you and I
heard the Lord deep in my spirit not in
an audible voice but deep in my soul say
there these four waves are about to hit
this ministry and the people of this
ministry online wherever you are if
you’re affiliated with this ministry I
believe these four waves that I’m about
to speak are going to hit you
in powerful ways and it’s one thing to
think it and know it and have an
inspired thought it’s another thing to
think oh my God he’s done that I have
faith for that for your life today look
with me in Genesis
45 I’ll begin with the famous verse
verse 5 but now do not therefore be
grieved or angry with yourselves this is
Joseph’s talking to his brothers because
you sold me here for God sent me before
you to preserve your life verse seven
and God sent me before you to preserve a
prosperity for you in the earth and to
save your lives by a great Deliverance
one more time he says it in verse 11
therefore I Joseph will provide for you
and your household all you have come to
Poverty for that lest you come to
Poverty for there is still 5 years of
famine so there are four ways that God
will provide for us and they’re found so
easily in the scriptures the first way
that God provides for you if you taking
notes is through the hand of
man that’s exactly what happened in this
text the Bible said that Joseph was
talking to his brother who had hurt him
his brothers who had thrown him in a pit
and stolen his
Birthright and then he turns around and
he says to them you meant it for my evil
I’m not bitter I’m not offended I’m not
angry you meant it for my evil but I see
how God used what you put me through for
my good I wouldn’t be where I am today
well where was he where was he let’s
talk about that for just one minute
he was working the right-hand man he was
working in Egypt he was a Jew but he was
in Egypt and Pharaoh at that time
history records was the wealthiest man
in the world he owned the most real
estate in the world he had the mightiest
army in the world he was the most
powerful Pharaoh on the planet and guess
what he did he turned the keys over of
his wealth to a Jew this Egyptian
pharaoh gave the whole Kingdom and its
wealth to be
controlled by this boy named
Joseph and Joseph then in return says to
his own brothers who had done him wrong
don’t be afraid I’m not going to hurt
you now that I’m on this side of the
blessing of God I wept I cried I went
through hell you lied on me I went
through 13 years of imprisonment I went
through so many bad things but I came
out without a bitter spirit and God has
blessed me and now he says to those same
Brothers God blessed me so I could
provide for you and you know what he did
the Bible said he told him go get your
families I’m giving every one of you a
ranch every one of you are going to get
your own acreage and everything in Goan
the richest Farmland in in the world I’m
giving it to
you the first way that God will provide
is through the hands of men that’s why
Luke chapter 6 says give and it shall be
given unto you press down shaking
together running over and here’s the key
to that verse shall
men shall men God says I will cause men
to give to
you and and with the same measure you
give the same measure it will be given
to
you you know Elijah the Bible said was
was in a famine and God told him to go
to a river and God sent a raven to feed
him Ravens don’t deliver food they eat
it but God changed the nature of that
and it was a raven and that was
considered a dirty
bird God changed the nature of a dirty
bird
to bring the prophet a piece of meat and
bread two times a day for three and a
half
years and God said when I start to use
people in your life I’m going to throw
this in there don’t get too picky don’t
get too you know fussy about who he uses
he said I’m GNA use men and he might use
dirty birds to supply your needs he
might use people who are if but what
happens to us is we get so snoody and
get so self-righteous and get so full of
our own selves that we act like we’re
too good to associate with people but
you don’t know that people are watching
you right now that are capable of
greatly blessing you you have no idea
what God is doing and when you obey him
and you have the favor and the blessing
of the Lord on your life God says I’ll
cause men and not all of them will be
saved some of them will be dirty birds
some of them would would be used to the
they’ll probably give it to you with a
big old cigar in their mouth and a cuss
word or two but take it and say praise
the Lord I I just want to say I don’t
care how God blesses me any way you
bless me I’ll be Satisfied and I know
what I’ll do with it I don’t know what
they’ll do with it but I’m going to do
something good with it say Amen
somebody how many of you are willing to
let God bless you through the hands of
man I want you to claim this promise I
want you to say out loud God will
provide for me God will provide through
the hand of man in other words I wrote
these words many many years ago Kingdom
connections are coming in other words
power relationships what’s a power
relationship is somebody who has already
achieved what you’re trying to achieve
they’ve already gone to a level that you
want to get to and when God wants to
bless you he’ll send power relationships
in your life that those people just like
you you just I don’t know why it is they
connect with you and they bring you up
they could have other people try to
Kissy Kissy to get to them but for some
reason God raises them up in your life
and it’s just an easy not e I want to
say effortless relationship you don’t
have to work at it God’s got it because
he says I give power relationship ships
but in Luke 6 and verse 38 when he said
men will give to you what he’s saying is
I’ll put favor on you do you know that
the Bible said in the Book of Genesis
that when God blessed Jacob he gave him
power with God and favor with men and do
you know that the Bible said in Luke
chap 2 and verse
52 that Jesus grew in favor and in
wisdom with God and man everybody say
God and man that’s how God does it he
just puts his favor on you he just
causes you to stand out in somebody’s
heart in somebody’s mind and sometimes
all we do is think about well where’s my
where’s my uh hands of man at but you
ought to get to a place at some point
where you just don’t think about who’s
going to bless me but I want to be those
hands I want to be be the one that finds
that single mother or that waitress in
the restaurant or that person you know
that’s really struggling and going
through and I want to be so blessed that
if God Whispers give them $1,000 or do
something unusual for them bless them
and buy them Christmas I want to be that
kind of person I want to be the hands
that help feed the hungry and clothe the
poor and reach out to the prisoners and
those who can’t help themselves oh
hallelujah it’s more blessed to give
than it is to receive make my hands the
hands of man that help those who are
broken and hurting and in need clap your
hands if you’ve ever had God to put a
man or a woman in your life Elijah was
starving was going to starve to death
and God said go to zerath First Kings 17
I’ve commanded a widow woman there
to sustain
you he said I’m going to provide for you
and she was eating her cooking her last
meal and he said make me a cake first
and that woman no wonder the devil
doesn’t want you to hear about what God
does when you obey him in your finances
and in your giving because if I were the
devil I wouldn’t want you to learn
either she sowed one meal and God fed
her for three and A2 years the barrel
did not run dry it kept re producing and
multiplying the same God that takes
three Loaves and two fish and multiplies
it and breaks it and says I’ll make it
exceedingly abundantly above all you
could ask or think he’s your God and the
scripture said that he will use men to
give unto you they’ll give you jobs
they’ll open doors for you they’ll
they’ll they’ll notice they’ll invest in
you he knows how to cause men to give
unto you secondly the second way that
God provides is
through the hands of
God he uses the hands of men and then
there are Supernatural blessings let me
tell you what I mean when Joseph took
care of those families for years and
years and years they were on the
blessing train and they didn’t have to
worry about anything and Joseph was the
source and really Pharaoh was the source
God used the hands of man to take care
of them but the Bible said and There
Rose another Pharaoh after he died that
knew not Joseph nor his God and
everything changed and suddenly all the
resources that they had put their Hope
and Faith in it was taken out of their
life now I want to encourage somebody
that when you lose the contract when a
big financial situation walks out of
your life it’s a teaching moment that
you need to learn this point God uses
man’s hands but God is real touchy about
when you start looking to anybody more
than him as your source and there will
be people that God will send and they
will bless you in amazing ways but they
are not your source and when man gives
to you be thankful be grateful be
appreciative be humbled by it for the
rest of your life but never ever forget
that your business is the system but God
is your Source the brook and the bird
was the system but God was Elijah’s
source and God said at some point the
bird stopped flying and the Brooks
stopped flowing and God let him know
anytime God
causes uh let’s say you’re in business
and you get this big contract and man
it’s blessed you this year and last year
and the year before that and then the
economy shifts and suddenly you lose
that major contract it’s so easy to Just
Fall to Pieces but God’s wanting to
teach you something in that
moment he’s wanting you to know that the
river is not your Source he’s wanting
you to know that the bird and the Widow
is not your Source he’s wanting you to
come back to your real source which is
him and he feeds you by the hand of God
well where’s that at in scripture in
Exodus chapter 16 the Bible said that
that God sent Mana from heaven in the
wilderness to feed the children of
Israel and it says that there were
certain families in the wilderness that
had uh that had one piece of mana and
there were others that got three Loaves
and others that had six loaves because
God will prosper you according to the
size of your
assignment you know why God gave one t
one loaf and gave the next tent three
and the next six is because they had
more people in it and God won’t give you
six loaves if right now your assignment
is just one loaf God will put in your
heart to get there but I’m thankful that
he doesn’t give us what we ask him for
he gives us what we can
manage if God would have given me
everything that he that I wanted him to
give me at every different season of
this ministry I wasn’t ready for it God
lets us go through things to prepare us
for what he can do but according to the
size of your assignment and the season
that you’re in if you are a giver if
you’re a tither if you honor God if you
serve God you worship God God says in
every season that you’re in I will
release the resources to do my will and
he said I’ll do it by the hand of man
and I’ll do it by the hand of God I’m G
to I’m going to do things supernaturally
there I I just want to say there are
still miracles a provision God can steal
how many of you are living in homes that
you didn’t ever think you would live in
but you know the truth is God has
provided that home let me see your hand
I
mean how many of you drove a car today
that you never thought you would get to
drive and you say well I’m Not In That
season be thankful for where you are and
begin to praise God for what he’s
already given you you he’s got more and
he’ll bless you if you’ll obey him and
you’ll honor him I want you to put your
hands together and I want you to thank
the Lord for all that God’s hand has
provided that old song all that I have
needed the hand hath provided look at
the clothes look at the blessings look
at the goodness of God to God be the
glory don’t ever lose your humility
don’t ever lose your appreciation and
thankfulness to God he opened doors no
man can shut you found your way and God
has been good to
you stir that up in your soul right now
Hallelujah anybody like your
bedroom anybody like your sofa anybody
like that Persian rug anybody like your
apartment you never get a house until
you thank God for your apartment anybody
like you Pinto you’ll never get a
Mercedes until you thank God for the
pinto if they still make
Pinos Hallelujah I’m preaching myself
happy and God gave me this when I didn’t
I didn’t see all the stuff that I see
now but I’ve seen the hand of man I’ve
actually had people come up to me and
say I don’t know why I’m doing this
here and I could tell they didn’t like
me and I just smiled and said praise the
Lord see to you it’s a story but to me
it’s a miracle even the building you’re
setting in that nice cushion seat it’s a
miracle to me it’s more than just a seat
we didn’t have any of it but it came
from the hand of God I don’t know how it
happened I still I don’t know why it
happened it’s nothing but the provision
from the hand of God and if he’ll do it
for me he’ll do it for you don’t don’t
you quit dreaming don’t you stop
believing for better things don’t you
dare lay down to life and let it kick
you you get up and stand up on your high
feet and say my God will supply all my
needs according to his riches every one
of your children will go to college if
they want to every one of them God will
supply all that I need the hand of God
now somebody shout I don’t care I don’t
care who came
oo he’ll make you the head and not the
tail he’ll bless you in the city and
bless you in the
field man will try to block you out but
God says where I bless and my hand
blesses nobody can push it down and
destroy
it
don’t forget the level of your attack
will tell you two things number one how
valuable you are to God’s assignment and
number two the level of blessing that is
waiting for you on the other side of
this attack if you’ll stand through the
fire through the flood God will provide
he can take you to a wealthy place today
a wealth of Peace a wealth of Joy a
wealth of Grace and happiness and
forgiveness oh yes God can do it he’s
The Giver of Life all you have to do is
give him your life and follow him pray
this prayer say Lord Jesus I give you my
life I put all my faith in you and I
know when I call on your
name it absolutely guarantees my
salvation cleansing and forgiving by
your blood blood and your power I
receive Holy Spirit your presence into
my home into my life into my future into
my relationships heal every broken place
I give you my life in Jesus name amen
and if you prayed that prayer I would
love to hear from you I mean it and we
have a free devotional we want to send
you it’s our gift to you and help you in
your new walk with the lord well before
I go I want to say thank you to all of
you who have contributed so generously
in supporting our projects in Israel and
our recent initiative the eso region
resilience Center I’m so excited about
this recently I was invited to
Washington DC just a couple weeks ago
and I was invited by the
Ambassador uh there to come and watch
the video the actual footage and it was
the most graphic uh video I’ve ever
watched in my life and it was about all
that I could stomach a few times I had
to look away I watched as Hamas these
terrorists demonic demon-possessed men
would pour gasoline on children they
would dismember and take off the heads
of the parents in front of the children
I’m sorry I’m having to even talk like
this I watched all of that and in
response we have pledged $1 million to
Aid in the establishment of the
resilience Center this facility aims to
provide listen to me carefully essential
psychological treatments for survivors
addressing issues such as
PTSD which is very real the trauma these
people have been through I can’t even
put into words watch this and see how
desperate your help is needed
today
I’m standing here in the Zach’s house
the Zach Family House in kibutz suim the
first community that we introduce you to
on October 7 this entire family perished
when we walked after the atrocities of
October 7 into this house we saw the
father lying here behind me on the floor
with a knife in his hand and in the
shelter behind me the mother in bed
hugging her son both dead and both
burned
alive but just like this Instinct of a
family to protect each other to save
each other this is what we feel with you
Pastor Jensen Franklin and your entire
congregation it was an instinct a family
instinct to come and stand with us and
to remind us that we are not alone you
are responding immediately because you
know us you know us already for many
years before and you committed to build
a resilience Center that will give us
therapy for our communities to heal
together in these atrocities of October
7 we know that we will rebuild
again it will be painful and hard but we
know that with you we can make it happen
step by step together as a
family
