satanic attack is actually a sign that

you have become a high-value target in

the kingdom and when the enemy levels

his attack against you it it means two

things number one it means you’re

valuable to God in your assignment

number two it means the level of your

blessing

waiting for you when you get through

this attack it is beyond anything you

can’t imagine and that’s why the enemy

is trying to stop you now

[Music]

today I want to speak to you about how

God wants to provide for you

specifically I want to use the Old

Testament pattern of how God dealt with

the children of Israel there were four

ways that he provided for them that he

will provide for you in this time that

I’m speaking in your life the first way

that God provides for his people

number one is through the hand of man in

Genesis 45 we’re told the story of

Joseph and his brothers come from a

foreign land they are in a famine and

Joseph says to them don’t be afraid God

sent me before you into this land so

that I could with my own hands take care

of you and give you food in your family

I’ll feed you with my hands Jason Joseph

fed to those brothers who had done him

so wrong

the first way that God provides is

through the hand of man and don’t be

fussy about how God does it don’t say

who he can use and who he can’t use God

use Pharaoh to provide for Joseph and

Joseph was used to provide for his

family and God when he’s going to bless

you we’ll use the hand of man that’s why

Luke 6:38 is so powerful Gil and it

shall be given unto you good measure

pressed down shaken together running

over shall men give into your bosom

notice that men it’ll come from the

hands of men

they’ll give into your bosom but the

first part is on you when he said give

as long as you give God will make sure

that their men who give into your bosom

I’ve told the story many times of how

God will use the hand of man and I love

this old story my daddy used to tell it

that’s how old it is and I knew the

punchline and I’d still enjoy it but he

said that there was a widow woman and

she didn’t have much an elderly woman

and she was living in her home and

and she didn’t have anything but peanut

butter and jelly and she got to pray and

oh god I’m hungry would you send me a

loaf of bread and she she got to praying

fervently and prayed out loud oh God

would you send me a loaf of bread and

she said that that that she kept praying

and her neighbor happened to hear her

through the window as she was crying out

to God and he was an atheist he didn’t

believe in God and he got tired of

hearing to pray to a god that wasn’t

real and he climbed up on the roof and

he dropped a loaf of bread down her

chimney and oh when the when the bread

came right down the chimney she started

shouting hallelujah God has given me a

loaf of bread for my peanut butter and

jelly and then he went over to rain on

her party he knocked on the door and

when she opened the door he said why are

you making so much noise and she said

God just gave me a loaf of bread he said

lady God did not give you that loaf of

bread I heard you praying I climbed up

on the ceiling and I dropped below for

bread through your chimney god didn’t

have anything to do with it since you

really started shouting and he said I

don’t understand what is your problem

she said God gave me a loaf of bread and

he used the devil to deliver it it’s

still funny in it God will provide

through the hand of man and don’t you

ever forget it and don’t say it has to

be this kind of man or that kind of man

God can use anybody anywhere anytime to

bless you and to meet your needs and

here’s the big point with this God will

not let you depend on any one individual

too long be careful if you start

depending on one individual too long

because God wants you to understand that

that person is being used God calls them

to give into your bosom and your seed

caused them the gifts but they are not

your source God is your source the

second way that God will provide for you

is not only through the hand of men but

secondly through the hand of God

super natural blessings from his own

hand you see after Joseph had provided

for 70 years for his family the Bible

said there arose another Pharaoh who

knew not Joseph nor his God and he cut

all the food off and suddenly the hand

of man that they had been looking to to

feed them God severed it God broke the

link and now they had to believe for God

to send the resources the Bible said in

numbers that God rained down manna from

heaven and began to feed the children of

Israel he supernaturally like the dew

coming down every morning there was just

enough food for one day’s supply of

every household and God by his own hand

fed them I want you to understand that

God broke the link and he said you’ve

been depending on that man’s hand but

now I want to show you that sometimes

I’ll supply your need not by man’s hand

as a matter of fact I’ll even sever and

if you if you have been depending on

some body’s hand that has been blessing

you maybe and even an employer’s hand

and that relationship has been severed

don’t you become afraid and fearful

because that man’s hand is not your

source God’s hand is your source and God

will break your link with any hand other

than his hand Jesus said in John 15

without me you can do nothing I am the

vine and you are the branches and

without me unless you’re connected to me

you will not produce fruit Paul put it

like this

my dependency is upon thee this is

called force dependency and to be honest

my ego hates it my ego hates depending

on God I love to be so blessed that I

can pray life prayers and I don’t have

to really need anything from God and but

is not an American and he’s not in to

you being independent Americans are

independent and all that but God is not

into that he’s into dependency and he’s

into you always needing him more and

more and more and so all along he’ll

come along and he will put you in a

place of transition he would turn your

life around he’ll rock your boat and I

want a system that I’m going to pray

likely and it’ll always come in and God

sometimes will break that link but when

he does get ready that you’re moving

from man’s hand to God’s hand the brook

that fed Elijah during the famine was

the system but God was the source the

Raven for a while was the system but God

was the source and the system may change

but God is your source and so the way

that God provides is through his own

hand and when he does it according to

Exodus 16 and 14 they said what is this

when he sent the manna they said what is

this it takes a while to know God’s ways

it takes a while to figure out some of

you want to be instant successes but the

truth is sometimes God has to reposition

you and you’re used to getting it from

one way from one source and then God

comes and says I’m about to reposition

you and if you’ll trust me

and if you’ll obey me in these

transitions I’ll bless you even more see

we always want it one way and if we lose

our job or something happens we freak

out and we don’t trust God like we ought

to trust God and the truth is when he

sent the manna the Bible said if you

read it it’s an interesting text it said

that if you had a household of two that

he would send basically if you if you

study it out it’s two quarts of manna

every morning enough to feed per person

so that would be four quarts of manna

for a man and his wife but maybe the

house next door had six people what God

would increase the manna for that house

so it wasn’t equal what he gave each

house it was

according to how many people were in

their house that God provided exactly

what they needed they couldn’t store it

up the next day which by the way when

the cloud moved it wasn’t that they were

so spiritual

they understood if we don’t stay under

the cloud we don’t have any food

tomorrow here’s the point God says I’m

about to give you bread from heaven but

I don’t give the same amount to

everybody

I’ll give and I’ll trust for you

according to the size of your assignment

if your assignment is to people he’ll

give you enough for two people if your

assignment is six people he’ll give you

enough for six people if the assignment

of this church was a hundred people at

one time and God gave enough for a

hundred people and then we grew to 300

people and God gave enough for 300

people then we grew to thousands of

people and God says I give you my

provision according to the size of your

assignment and if you’re faithful with

what I give you when I give it to you

I’ll increase you more and more and more

by the hand of God I want to remind

somebody today that if man’s hand is no

longer blessing you that you have the

hand of God also that will bless you

Philippians 4:19 we are so used to

quoting that but my God shall supply all

your needs according to his riches and

glory through Christ Jesus but wait a

minute stop the train you need to back

up and go all the way up to who he was

talking to and he said you Philippians

became my partners in giving time and

again then he says therefore my God will

supply all your needs so he promises God

promises that if you are a giver if you

are a generous person to the kingdom and

the work of God I will supply by my hand

I will supply all your needs according

to my riches in glory the third way that

God provides everybody say God will

provide

by the hand of man the hand of God and

now the hand that is your very own your

own hand

you see Joshua five said and the manna

ceased five and twelve I think it is

said in the manna ceased oh my god

it’s time to panic after 40 years of

everyday the man and then it ceased what

is God going to do now God said I’m

changing you I’m repositioning you again

I’m getting ready to bless you again and

you like for everything to stay the same

you would have never left that other job

that you were so that I I know what I’m

doing in your life and if you’ll trust

me and honor me with your tithe and give

unto me and make me first in your life

in every area I’ll lead you from glory

under glory faith under faith victory

under victory I’ll bless you more and

more I’ll increase you more and more and

now I’m about to move you from the hand

of man and the hand of God miracle after

miracle after miracle but at some point

you need to stop living off miracles and

then he says I’ll bless you from your

own hand the manna ceased and God said

I’m about to transition you and I want

you to look at Deuteronomy 11 and verse

9 he said I’m taking you into a land

that is flowing with milk and honey the

next verse says this he says but the

land that you’re about to go into is not

like the land of Egypt that you’ve come

from where you sowed your seed in a

strange little phrase right here and

wandered by foot as a vegetable garden

that is a direct reference to the

foot-pumps that they had to set up in

Egypt just to get a tiny little harvest

just to get some little plant to come

out of the ground they had to irrigate

from the Nile River and they used foot

Punk and they would get just eke out

just enough water to grow just enough

food to barely get by and eat by and God

said where I’m taking you

I’m moving you off the foot pump and

into a land that is flowing I don’t want

you just

scratching bye I don’t want you just

scraping by I don’t want you just eating

by I want you off the foot pump and I’m

going to take you to a land a place a

position in life where the blessings are

flowing like milk and honey I’m taking

you to a land that flows you’re coming

off the pump and into the flow the

goodness of the Lord is about to flow

into your life whether you’re on the

valley or whether you’re on the mountain

he even said at the beginning of the

year to the end of the year I’m going to

take care of you he told them that in

Deuteronomy read it Deuteronomy chapter

11 when you have an Egyptian mentality

you’re always praying

SOS prayers financially oh god help us

oh god help us we need a miracle we need

a miracle we need a miracle we need we

need the money we always pray in 911

you’re always in a crisis going from a

crisis into a crisis but God says I want

you to begin to walk into the divine

flow of my blessings I’m tired of your

bullet being on the foot pump I want you

to have a land that is flowing with milk

and honey and listen if you’re not there

yet there’s no shame in that that’s why

you’re in church you’re getting faith

even by the word coming into your life

that there’s a better land coming in

your life you may be on the foot pump

right now but God’s ultimate will is

that you be in a land that’s flowing

with milk and honey somebody give God a

shout if you believe that he will bless

you he’s no respecter of persons none

but God says this part the manner has

ceased this is going to require you to

so did you read it

this is going to require you to work the

field this is going to require you to do

something it’s going to involve you up

to this point you’ve been living off of

man the hand of man you’ve been living

off the hand of God but now I’m ready to

bless your guilt I’m ready to bless your

abilities I’m ready for you to begin to

excel with things that I have equipped

you to do and your gifts will make room

for you

you and you’re going to begin to flow in

the gift that I’ve given you the set of

strategies and abilities that I’ve given

you and I’m going to bless you I’m going

to involve you

God wants something better for you than

praying emergency financial prayers all

the time it begins to flow into your

life if you can do it God won’t do it

for you the manna ceased and God said

I’m not sending any more if you want to

harvest start sowing and using your own

hands and working in that something grow

up I’ll meet your needs but you need to

find your purpose in the kingdom you

need to find your gifts and put them to

work you need to get off your blessed

assurance and do something and work and

if you will do it I’ll begin to bless

you by your own hands and you’ll begin

to move beyond crisis all the time now

God’s involving you you’re not going to

be one step away from the creditors all

the time but you have skill sets you

have strengths that you don’t even know

you have things in you that you’re not

even aware of when God told me to preach

if you would have told me that I could

write books I would have lasted you that

one day I would write books and people

would actually read those books and buy

those books my English teacher would

have told you you are crazy but I had

stuff in me that I didn’t know I had in

me when I was learning to play that

little saxophone in the 12th grade I

remember my first recital I played go

tell it on the mountain bye-bye prepare

and it would squeak burn burn prayer

prepare and I never dreamed that that

horn would make me money

oh come on somebody you don’t understand

the strengths and assets that you have

that God has

put in you and when you give him

everything he says oh I’m going to bless

that set of gifts and abilities and

skill sets that I’m giving you but

here’s the last one God will provide for

you by the hand of your enemy pastor are

you serious serious as a heart attack

I’m very serious twelve went into the

promised land ten came back saying the

Giants are too big but two came back and

they said our God is able and somebody

brought up the Giants and in numbers it

said they spoke up and they said those

Giants are bred for us not amazing gotta

provide for you through your enemies but

God sets their brand for you what does

that mean God will feed you through the

hand of your enemy you’ll get to the

place that you feed off of the attacks

that the enemy throws at you and instead

of discouraging you it makes you even

more steadfast and determined to do the

will of God you begin to feed off the

attacks you almost get an attitude or

bring it on is that all you got is that

the best you can do I’m not groaning I’m

growing in God satanic attack is

actually a sign that you have become a

high-value target in the kingdom and

when the enemy targets you and your

family it’s a sign you’re a high-value

target it means that you have something

worth attacking when the enemy levels

his attack against you if it means two

things number one it means you’re

valuable to God in your assignment and

number two it means the level of your

blessing waiting for you when you get

through this attack is it’s beyond

anything you can’t imagine

and that’s why the enemy is trying to

stop you now and in such a Corinthians 9

and verse 10 it says this now he who

supplies the seed to the sower and bread

and food and supply will multiply the

seed you have sown he will give you and

supply a seed and you can eat the seed

or you can hold the seed or you can sow

the seed and he only multiplies the seed

that you sow and what will happen he

increases the fruits of your

righteousness and while you are enriched

now this is so important in everything

that’s not just spiritual stuff when you

sow God says I’m going to take care of

everything

with all liberality God says I’m going

to really really really take care of you

which will cause Thanksgiving through us

to God but watch this it doesn’t end

there

and by the administration of this

service not only supply the needs of you

liberally that causes Thanksgiving in

you but watch this but also will abound

through many Thanksgiving to God that’s

the power of the exchange I take what I

have in my hand and I release it to God

and God multiplies the seed that I sow

and it causes me to be so liberally

blessed that I have Thanksgiving in my

heart and if that wasn’t enough then as

I sow God multiplies the seed sown and

it not only provides for me tremendous

but it takes care of others and causes

them to be free and them to be blessed

and them to be fed for a season until

God can get them into the land that’s

flowing and they have Thanksgiving in

their heart to God because of what you

did

that is a beautiful exchange that I can

be a part of something so great this
