5 WAYS GOD PROVIDES | DR MIKE WOODS SR

to Sunday Night Live. I'm super excited tonight that I get a chance to share with you from beautiful Carlsbad, California. Yeah, man, we are in California. We got here on yesterday, and, um, this place brings back a lot of memories. We're about 30 miles outside of San Diego. I have a lot of ties to San Diego, California. Um, but God, years ago I was here, uh, doing training in the military. I spent some time here with one of my mentors, the late Bishop George Dallas McKinney, uh, at St. Stephen's Church of God in Christ. I did a lot of work with him, a lot of revivals. Uh, great man, uh, taught me a lot of things about life and ministry. So just glad to be here. This is a great ocean city, man. If you're ever, uh, on the West Coast, you need to make sure you visit San Diego and visit Carlsbad, California. I promise you, uh, you will not be disappointed. Uh, it's, it's an amazing place to be. Listen, welcome tonight. I'm not going to take a whole lot of your time. Uh, do me a favor, guys. I am excited to teach. Uh, even though we're here on vacation, I didn't want to be, uh, remiss or derelict in my duty and not disseminate the word of God to you all today. Uh, I am, you know, for 35 years now as a full-time minister, uh, some 40 years preaching. Glory to God! I have never been one that take the assignment that God has given me lightly. Uh, if God didn't call me to do this, I promise you I wouldn't do it. I really don't understand how there are so many people that do this. Hear me, that are not called. So many people that do this that literally are not called to ministry at all. And I see it every day. I see it on timelines. I see it on YouTube. Uh, it's a shame. And, uh, I see it with big churches, little churches. So many who are just simply not called to do this. And I'm telling you right now, if I wasn't called, I wouldn't do it. But I, I will never be remiss or derelict in my duty when it comes down to what God has commissioned Michael Woods to do. So I'm here tonight to do that. So here, I need you to do two things for me. Matter of fact, three things. Number one, I need you to share this right now. Hit that share button at the bottom. Share with your family, share with your friends, share to your timeline, share to your story. Let people know we are live right now. Glory to God. As a matter of fact, we're live from Carlsbad, California, right on the Pacific Ocean. Glory to God. I'm super excited about that. Listen, so I want to share this. I want to jump right into this. Secondly, before we do— secondly, secondly, secondly— here's the second thing I need you to do. Second thing I need you to do, I need you to hit that like button and like this video. You know, if, if the video is blessing you, be a blessing by expressing that you like it. Glory to the name of God. And then thirdly, I just simply need you to say hello, comment below, let us know that you are here. Glory be to God. God is so good, man. So tonight, this is going to be a very powerful teaching, man. I want to talk to you about Jireh, Jehovah Jireh. I want to talk to you about 5 ways that God provides. I think so many people are living beneath the provision of God. Hear me. And they're living in this space where they're saved and they're sanctified, they're filled with the Holy Spirit. Some— a lot of people celebrated Pentecost Sunday today. Indeed, today was Pentecost Sunday. I thank God I'm Pentecostal every single day. Glory to God. I speak in tongues every single day. Glory to God. I live a life of power, authority, and I really don't have to wear all white and go to church to express that I live in the authority and power of the Holy Ghost. The Feast of Pentecost is a part— I'm not knocking anybody that does, okay? That's how you do, that's how you do, great. At the end of the day, the Holy Ghost— I rather honestly, uh, if, if I'm gonna wear the white and go to church and celebrate Pentecost, I want to make sure that I'm balanced and that Pentecost is operating in my life on a day-to-day basis. So I'm a Pentecostal, uh, glory to the name of God, since a child. And glory to God, Pentecost operates in my life. I have a life of power, I have a life of authority, and I'm super grateful for that. And I challenge you to do the same. Matter of fact, I have a relationship with the Holy Spirit that I am so proud of. Glory to God. So tonight I want to talk to you about Jireh, Jehovah Jireh, and I want to highlight 5 ways— hear me, guys— that God provides. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you tonight for the opportunity to teach your people, and I pray, God, in the name of Jesus, that you will move by your power and that you will allow your anointing that destroys yokes and removes burdens to rest heavy upon us, God. And I pray, God, as we teach your word, someone will be transformed. May they be blessed by you and never impressed by me. God, you sent your word and it healed them. So even as we teach the word tonight, God, I pray that the word of the living God will bring healing, that the word of the living God will bring deliverance, it will bring breakthrough to their life. In the mighty name of Jesus. So be it. Amen and amen. So Jireh, Jehovah Jireh. Let's go to Genesis tonight. Glory to God. Let's go to Genesis. Stay with me, guys. Stay with me. This is going to be good. Let's go to Genesis chapter number— glory to God— 22. And I want to look at verse number 14. And I'm really picking up on the end of a very popular Bible story. I preached and teach this chapter so much, but tonight I wanna really highlight as a foundation to our teaching, verse number 14, and I'll give you a little hermeneutics or exegetical expository on the chapter so you can understand what's being said, but I'm not gonna tarry long here. Exodus, I'm sorry, Genesis chapter 22, verse number 14, you'll find these words. The Bible says, "And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh." Jehovah-jireh. Glory to the name of God. Hallelujah. "As it is said to this day, 'In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.'" Now just to bring you up to verse 14, God says to Abraham at the beginning of this chapter, he says, take your son, your only son Isaac, and I want you to get him and I want you to offer him in a land that I'll tell you about later. Glory to God. And so Abraham says, here am I. He gets the wood, he go, he wants to go, he's going through this process of actually obeying God to bring sacrifice to his son. Well, here's an interesting thing I understand about this story. The reality is Abraham moves in obedience because I believe that the scripture says that God did test Abraham. And the word test there is nasa in Hebrew, and it means to test by stress and by pressure. So God set up a pressure stress field test to see if Abram would obey. And watch this, to not only see if he would obey, but to see if Abraham would remember what God has promised. See guys, it's so important to remember what God has promised you. It's so important to remember what God has said to you. I'm telling you right now, the promises of God are yeah and amen. If he said it, you can expect it. It. Glory to God. If he's spoken in his word, he wants to bring it to pass in your life. God promised Abraham that— and back in Genesis chapter number 13, watch this— that God would bless him and his seed and multiply his seed as the stars of heaven and as the grains of sand on the earth. And so Abraham knew it was going to be impossible— watch this— for God to kill his son. Oh God, because it would have been impossible for him to multiply generations like the stars if his firstborn is dead. So he moves in faith and he makes a statement. He says to Abraham, he says to Isaac, I'm sorry, and the young men that were with him, he said, don't worry about it, because Isaac asked the question, Dad, where's the sacrifice? He said to him, listen, son, God will provide. He speaks it in faith. He trusts what God— listen, can I ask you a question? Do you trust what the word of God has said about your life? Do you trust that if God said he's gonna provide, he's gonna provide? Do you trust that if God said he's gonna heal you, he's gonna heal you? Do you trust that if God said he's gonna deliver your children, he's gonna deliver your children? I mean, do you really trust it? And if you trust it, you'll speak it out of your mouth like Abraham, who by the way is the— oh my God— the father of faith. Glory to God. Oh my God. Woo! He says, my son, my God will provide. So we get to verse 14. Here's the story again. Abram is going through and obeying God to the T. He sets up the altar. He puts his son on the altar as a sacrifice. Oh my God, he puts the wood down, he's getting ready to draw back to kill his son, and shaking in the thicket, shaking in the bush, is a ram. Hallelujah! And the angel of the Lord speaks to him and said, listen, this ram shall be your sacrifice. God has provided a sacrifice. God— so listen, many a times God is testing your faith, and some of you don't have the provision you need because you really don't believe in God's ability to provide. And so the text said, after all of this has happened, God, he slays the, the lamb. Glory to God. And God says this place is going to be called Jehovah Jireh, which means the Lord will be our provision, and what he has promised will be seen. Can I tell you tonight what God has promised you? Hear me, guys, it will be seen. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! What God has promised you will be seen. So I want to give you 5 ways God provides and remind you of what he's promised you. I need you to touch yourself and say, provision belongs to me. Say, in my life, I believe God— hear me— will provide. Come on, I need you to say it again. Say, in my life, I believe that God will provide. I need you to understand that. God will provide. Matter of fact, type it in the comments. Everybody that's on here live or by replay, please be obedient. Type it in the comments. God will provide. Glory to God. So 5 ways. Let's jump in it. Number 1, how does God provide? I'm glad you asked. The first way he provides— oh boy— is through the hands of man. Oh God, God uses man to provide for you. How does he do that, Michael? How does he do that, Michael? Let's go to Luke 6:38. Let's go. Glory to God. Let's go. We're gonna walk this out tonight. Luke 6:38. Aman sia. Yes, God. Shiku tabai. Branse to boku su toto mahaya. The Bible says here, it says give. It says give. Let's stop right there. Let's stop right there. The word give here is didomi. Didomi. And it literally means of one's own accord. Hallelujah. To give something to someone— watch this— for their advantage. Oh my God, I'm gonna say that again. It means to give something to someone that's going to be to their advantage, whether you're giving to a nonprofit, whether you're giving to a church or individual. You should give with the mindset that what you give will increase the advantage of the entity or individual that you are giving to. Didon't mind, most of the time, watch this, people give to themselves greater than they give to something or someone. But the domai, or to give, according to this text suggests that I— what I give should be to the advantage of the person that I'm giving to. Which means, I don't— if I'm giving you food, I shouldn't give you the worst thing in my cupboard. I should bless you as I would bless myself. Are you hearing me? If I'm giving you clothes, I shouldn't give you something lesser than what I have, but I want it to be to your advantage. Glory to God. The Bible says, give— here it is— and it shall be given. You see how that works? Watch this. He says, give and it shall be given. So when you give, you set yourself up, you activate a system— watch this— of return back into your life. Listen, whatever release is released out of your hands, it leaves your hands but it never leaves your life. I'm gonna say that again. Whatever— it leaves your hands but it never leaves your life, it goes into your future waiting for your arrival. It's— I'm telling you, it's setting you up for something to come back. You activate the kingdom system of giving and receiving when you give. This is how it's coming back to you. It's never going to come back to you the way it left. Watch this. He says it's going to come back to you good measure, which is kalos in Greek. Kalos means profitable. So it's going to come back in a profitable measure, which means it's going to come back more than it left. Oh my God. So, so when you go to give, you have to give with this mindset that what I'm releasing is going to come back— oh my God— profitable. It's going to come back increased. It's going to come back multiplied. Oh my God. Oh my God. Ooh-wee, it's gonna come back beautiful to look at. That's what kalos is. It means you take pleasure in receiving it. Ooh. So, oh my God, this is how it's coming back to you. It's gonna come back with excellence. It's gonna come back surpassing, hear this, it's gonna come back surpassing, oh my God, how it left your hand. He says it's gonna come back good measure. Let's watch this. Good measure, which is metron in Greek. I gotta walk this out tonight. It's gonna come back according to how it was given. So, oh my God, so your harvest and the return— listen to me— is always proportionate to what is given. So, oh my God, so if I give you $10, the return on that $10 is measured and the multiplication is multiplied according to that. But if I give you $1,000, if I give you $100,000, the measure is multiplied. I have this goal, I have this dream, glory to God, that every time I want go in the church, not just my church but any church. Every time I go into the house of the Lord, into ministry I believe in, my— somebody say, Lord, say it, just pray for me now. Say, Lord, bless Apostle to be able to do this. I want to be able to walk in, even if I'm preaching, because I'm not going for honorariums. Oh my God, I'm not going. I, I, I've lived a life where I've gotten a lot of great honorariums. Glory to God, I've got a lot of great love offerings because people responded to the gifts. That's not what I'm about. I, I want to be able to go into a place and that place changes because I was there. So I, I want to be able to— every time I attend church, this is my vision in giving, is to be able to plant a seed of $100,000 without coercion, not waiting for the preacher to get through preaching and call for the offering. No, already because I'm there, it's going to be a check left that's going to be a good check for 6 figures, $100,000. You know how many times I go to church in a year? My God, my God, today, come on, man, come on, come on. I'm going to go to my own church at least 52 times a year. You do the math, 52 times $100,000 every time I walk in the door. And then I'm going to be out at other churches, probably, uh, double that in preaching and visiting. So just think about the abundance that I would have to live in to make those— now watch this— I'm trusting God that that measure is going to come to my life. And I'm not just talking about throwing money at people that's not doing nothing, that don't have a heart. I'm talking about throwing, uh, sowing seed in good ground so that good measure— watch this— because the measure is also measured according to the ground. Some people ain't got returns because they've been planting in the wrong ground. Oh, okay, I'm not gonna stare at it. I gotta go, I gotta go. Press down, press down, shake it and shaken together and running over. This is what I wanted to get because I don't have time to break all that down, we'll be all night. And running over shall men— listen to that— give into your buzzle. For with the same measure you mete withal shall be measured to you again. So God says, I'm gonna use the hands of men, hear this, to help you, to give back to you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna cause— watch, so, so watch this. So if I'm in a $100,000 seed mode where every time I'm giving I'm sowing $100,000, I'm saying this is my heart, man, this is what I want to do. Glory to God. Hallelujah! Oh, Shaya! Manshi antokosia! Lord, do it! Lord, do it! Somebody said, Lord, do it! Matter of fact, you ought to pray, Lord, do it for me! Do it! I'm talking about for you. Lord, do it! You see, when you got these kind of desires to give in this kind of abundance and, and give in these kind of measures, God will position you to do it. And you know who's looking for you now? Billionaires are looking for you to give. Glory to Jesus! Listen, when I give like that, the people that God attaches, my members and my partners, will be millionaires and billionaires. That people have prospered because those are the people that will return the harvest back into my life. Oh boy, my businesses will explode with resources because he'll use the hands of man to give back Shoot me, I've been on this too long. Go to Proverbs 21 and verse 1. Let's go there real quick. I got to get off this. Proverbs 21, verse 1. Hallelujah. Can I tell you something? There's, there's somebody— look, I feel that prophetically. I declare to you tonight that there are resources. Money is looking for you. Property is looking for you. I'm talking to the givers. I'm talking to the givers. I'm talking to the givers. Opportunities, clients, partners, resources are looking for you. Oh God. Oh God. Let's read this. Proverbs 21. And one, it says the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, and as the rivers of water, he turneth it with a soul he will. So watch this, I don't care if it's a banker, a government official, oh my God, a private investor, an equity broker, a venture capitalist that needs to put money into your dream, into your idea, God says that he'll use the hands of man and he'll turn their hearts toward you to give you what you need. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So you can do what he has called you to do. It says the king's heart. See, there are kings in the earth with resources that you and I need, and, and that's how you got to start praying. God, turn their heart toward my vision. Now, if you don't have a vision, you don't have anything that needs to be funded. Listen, I got vision in business, I got vision in ministry. Oh my God, and I'm telling— I declare right now that the king's heart is being turned. The king's— I need to supply buildings, property, oh my God, equipment, everything we need to do things in the marketplace, in the mill, in the municipality, and in ministry. Oh my God, I'm commanding the heart of the king. To be turned so that the will of the Lord can be perfected in my life and in your life. Matter of fact, I, I command it to turn toward you, turn toward you. May the heart of the king turn toward you, turn until you're blessed, turn until you have a building, turn until you— oh my God— have the resources you need, the capital you need, the— to operate your business, to hire employees. May the king's heart turn in your favor. God, God, today, God, you ought to praise him right there. Praise him right there. Matter of fact, if you're on here live, just throw up some hands. Glory to God. In the comments, and just type in the comments, it's turning in my favor. It's turning in your favor. Glory! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory to God! It's turning in your favor. Lord, I gotta calm down. Glory! Shabbat! So he, he blesses you through the hands of man. Now watch this, let me say this. Some of the people that God uses to bless you will not necessarily be Christians. Oh my God. But they'll be sinners. They'll be wicked people. You know, the marketplace is a place of exchange. The mill is where you produce products and goods. Marketplace is where you sell them. So in the mill, in the marketplace, there'll be wicked people. There'll be sinners. There'll be people that don't know God who will be attracted to your cause, and they will bless you. And somebody said, oh no, I don't want that money. You know, listen, you don't take it, I'll take it. I, I remember years ago, Oral Roberts— listen to this, this is a true story— he got a lot of flack from the church. That's what church folk do. Now, I ain't— remember I said church folk, not saints, not people that actually have a relationship with God. But this is what church folk do. Years ago, Oral Roberts— this is a true story— he had a need for his university, Oral Roberts University, one of the greatest Christian kingdom universities to ever exist, right? He had a need, and, and he needed multi-millions to satisfy that need. He went on television told everybody what the need was. Watch this, watch this. Told everybody what the need was. I need you to hear me. And a man in Las Vegas had just won several millions of dollars at a casino. He called Oral Roberts and said, I just won several million, I'm gonna send you a million to help you with your cause. Oral Roberts received that money. The church gave him hell because he received that money. Listen, let me put this out there right now. My name is Michael Woods. I am the senior pastor of Rhoda Church in Atlanta, Georgia. If you are in Vegas and you have a million dollars that you want to sow into the ministry that God has given me, I will accept it. You simply go to rodderchurch.com/donate and you give that seed, or send us a Zelle, whatever you want to do. Send me a DM and tell me how you want to wire it to me. At the end of the day, we will receive it, because these religious folk, they don't understand that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. But you cannot receive that wealth if you're not in position. To get the transfer. So listen, okay, come here, come here, Elijah, come here, Elijah. God sent Elijah to the brook called Cherith. Watch this. And Elijah stayed there for 2 years. God spoke to ravens, dirty birds. Ravens are nasty, dirty bird. But he cleaned this bird up, and this— these dirty birds' mission was to feed the prophet for 2 years. They— listen, God will clean up the person's mind, their heart, so they could bless you. You just gotta be where God tells you to be. Elijah obeyed God, went to the brook in the middle of a famine, ate better than everybody in the land by ravens. Listen, somebody said, would you take money if a drug dealer came in the church and gave? Yes, yes, yes. The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. You could judge me as much as you want. I'm telling you right now, glory to the name of God, I'll take it and pray for him. I'll lead him to Christ. But at the end of the day, at If somebody who is not saved wants to bless your cause, don't be silly. Receive it. Oh my God, it may be a gambler, they may be a drinker, they may be a whoremonger, they may be a lesbian, they may be a homosexual. You receive it. Stop being religious. They're trying to support your cause and pray that through their connection to you, they will come to God. Oh my God, listen, God will use power relationships. I make power connections on the golf course all the time. Glory to God, I'm believing God. I am, uh, tomorrow my brother-in-law and I are playing at Torrey Pines. It's gonna— we're playing at a PGA course, certified, where they play a tournament every year on the tour. We are favored to play that course tomorrow. I already know there will be power connections there for me to make. A weird twosome that they put with two people. I'm trusting God that these two people represent a power connection. Or I'm in the clubhouse and I make a power connection. Because at the end of the day, God will use whomever he please to help you, and they'll provide the resources you need to fulfill your purpose. Listen, here's what you want, family. You want favor with God, you want favor with man. I'm gonna say that again. You want favor with God and you want favor with man. You want them both. Hear me. Glory to God. And God said he would give you that. Understand this. It's more blessed to give than it is to receive. And when you give, glory to God, you're simply reaping the benefit of the blessed act that you gave. So the point again, the first way that God gives to us and that he provides is through the hands of man. Matter of fact, let's pray that right now. Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree and declare for myself and every person under the sound of my voice, dear God, that you're sending the hands that are meant to provide for us, and we receive it now. Matter of fact, we release the spirit of acceleration, and we declare that those hands are manifesting in our life right now in the name of Jesus. Ooh-wee! So be it, and thanks be to God, my God, today. I gotta get out of here. Number 2, the second way— glory to God, hallelujah— God blesses us through the hands of God, through his own hands. So number 1 was the hands of man. The second way that God provides is through the hands of God. What are you talking about, Michael Woods? I'm talking about supernatural provision. Listen to this. Glory to God. When you lose something financially, or you're going through a financial trial— hear me, ladies and gentlemen— or you're going through something that's seemingly too hard for you to bear, Hear me, family. I need you to understand, oh, that God is testing you. Listen, you know why? Because God wants us to understand that he is our source. See, some of you, you think you are your source, and I want you to know you are not. He's the source. And many times your financial difficulty is an indicator that you have lost track of who's your source. You thought it was your job. Yes, you should position yourself. Yes, to do it in the marketplace as a business owner, in the mill as a product creator, in the municipality as a person that, hallelujah, exercises leadership in the world. Or in ministry, but you gotta be in place so that God can show you he's the source. Oh my God, today, listen, that business, that job you have is only a conduit or system that we are part of to get the blessing to us in greater abundance. But the reality is God is our source. You don't believe that? Let's go to Exodus 16. Y'all don't believe it? I have to show y'all the Bible. Glory to God. Exodus 16. Get this word tonight. Don't you sleep on this. Wake up. Glory to God. Get this word. You need it. He's your source. You're depending too much on yourself. He's your source. I know you're good at what you do. I know you're smart, but at the end of the day, he's the source. He gave you those gifts only to enhance his ability to provide through you. Exodus 16, I want to look at verses 14 and 15. Let's go. 16. I hope y'all getting something out of this tonight, man. Glory to God. Oh, God is so good. Hey man, this man I serve is awesome. I don't care what you say, he also— he also awesome, awesome, awesome. Glory to God. Watch this, man. The Bible says, and when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness— listen to this— there lay a small round thing, as small as the ore frost on the ground. Listen to this, verse 15. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, it is manna. Oh my God, manna is a man in Hebrew, which means bread from heaven. Glory to God, bread from heaven. For they wist not what it was God had provided. And Moses said to them, this is the bread what the Lord hath given you to eat. They needed food. Hear me, they needed food, but God provided. I have an African pastor friend who said to me, he said, Dr. Woods, you Americans are spoiled. You're so spoiled. You got your grocery stores, you have Walmart, you have McDonald's, you have Burger King, you You have all of these things, and when you get hungry, you just go buy food. In my country, Botswana, when there is a famine and there is no food, we can't hunt, we can't fish, we have to pray to God. We have to trust the hand of God to supply. And when we need to eat and we cannot hunt and find food, we pray to God and it rains fish. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! And that's the hand of God providing. Providing for us. I said, sir, I think you got a point, man. We have gotten lazy. We're lazy. We're too dependent on our own hands. God says, I'm your provider. I'm the waymaker. He wants to— he wants to take care of you. Oh my God. And you know how this— how this works? So when God blesses you You have to become a good steward over what he gives you. Ooh, see, the more abundance, superna— in supernatural provision you get is based on stewardship. How have you handled the last blessing? Did you take it and spend it all? Oh my God, I've been guilty of that in my life, and I learned the hard way. I'm trying to help you. You got to be— you got to manage. You got to be faithful over a few things. Yeah, so he can make you ruler over many things. Are y'all hearing me? That's what he wants. Omanshia. That's what he wants, to make you ruler over many things. Are y'all getting this? Oh my God, tonight you got to manage what God gives you so you could be trusted with abundance. I need you to make that confession, make that decree. Say, Lord, you could trust me with abundance. Come on, say that again. Say, Lord, you can trust me with abundance. I think many a times abundance is delayed because we have proven in times past that we cannot be trusted with more. Oh boy, listen, here's a, here's an important point. You might want to write this down. Life with God never starts at the top. Come on, God. Only gravediggers and well diggers start at the top. I'm telling you right now, only gravediggers and well diggers start at the top. And, and guess what? It doesn't work like that in God. In God, you have to— glory to the name of God— tap into supernatural provision through progression. Watch this. Through progressive faithfulness, through progressive stewardship. What can you be trusted— can you be trusted with a million? Can you be trusted with a billion? If you got a check for a million today, I mean, if you honestly, without talking to anybody else, thought about what you would do with that million, I want you to think about this when you get off this live. What would you really do? I'm for real. What would you really do? Oh boy. Oh, oh boy. If you had a check for a million. Could you be trusted to multiply it? Yeah, I— yeah, think about what, what I just said, how God provides through the hands of others when it comes to multiplication. Can you be trusted to multiply that million? Watch this. If you make— here we go— $100 a week and God can't trust you to bring him $10 a week tithe, there's no way he's going to trust you with $1,000 a week. You got to be faithful over a few things so you'll be ruler over many. You ain't giving God $10 off the $100 because you've been listening to error that you ain't supposed to tithe. Come on, you just can't be trusted. But you'll take that $10 and do something else with it. And the reason you can't be trusted, because you don't trust him. Because it's a matter of just trusting him and your giving becoming a lifestyle, ah, so God could trust you with more. Yeah, I, I got to get out of here. I'm not going to finish this. I'll get to 2— I'll get to 3, 4, or 5 later. I'll teach him later this week. Matter of fact, I'll teach him right in his balcony before I leave. I'll be here to Friday. We leave to go home Friday, so I'll make sure I do 3, 4, and 5 before I leave. I got to get out of here. Say it again. So I can be trusted with supernatural provision. So we align ourselves with the the word, his systems of giving and receiving. Oh my God, being faithful over a few so we can get what God has in store. Matter of fact, while I'm talking, and I'm closing, man, I see resources. Oh my God, being accumul— I see this prophetically being accumulated in the heavens for you. That— I mean, I see them accumulating and coming together for you, but you got to align yourself and position yourself so it can be released. God wants to move us into seasons of perpetual abundance, but we got to position ourselves. Watch this, and I'm closing with this point. You can write this down. You will never be promoted from your present position until— listen to this— you become overqualified for your present position. I'm gonna say that one more time. You will never be promoted from your present position until you become overqualified for your present position. How do I become overqualified? I got to be faithful where I am. I got to be faithful. I cannot give up. I got to obey and trust his word. We used to sing a song growing up in church. Matter of fact, I remember my daddy sat down at piano in our house. We had an old piano in our living room, and that's the piano my daddy actually taught me how to play on. He would put tape on certain keys so so I would learn how to play the songs. And we sat down at the piano and we would sing the song, oh, we've come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord, trusting in his holy word. And guess what we were saying? He never failed me yet. Listen, I want you to understand something. God doesn't fail, but you got to Trust him by faith. You got to lean on the Lord, and when you lean on him, guess what he does? He leans the blessing and the favor in your direction. I got to quit, guys. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for this word tonight, and I pray, God, that Jehovah Jireh, I pray God that Jehovah Jireh— I pray God that Jehovah Jireh, our provider, will use the hands of man to provide for us. And I pray God that Jehovah Jireh will provide for us with his own hands. And we give you praise for it now. Thank you that we'll never be the same. In Jesus' name, amen. Listen, I want to challenge you tonight to unlock provision in your life. Soon as you leave this live, I want you to be obedient and sow seed into ministry. Listen, release seed. Pray about it and get seed in the ground this Sunday night. And I only— I need you to pray for that a— watch this— pray that you will give toward Oh my God, the hands of man that God's going to use to bless your life. Let this seed be earmarked with a special blessing that's coming back to you. Would you do that tonight? And Father, I pray for their giving in advance, and I decree and declare it'll come back to them 1,000 times more than it is, in Jesus' name. Listen, I love you guys. The ways that Giver on the screen, uh, someone type them in the comments. We love you, we appreciate you, and we thank you for joining us even tonight from beautiful Carlsbad, California. Y'all be blessed, man. Peace.
