Intro: today’s sermon is a supernatural sermon because it isn’t the one I brought with me from the house. As I was praying in the sanctuary I heard a word from heaven of the God of supernatural provision. No matter what your need is today, God has made a way for you. If you will ask, you will receive.
God of Supernatural Provision
Today: there are six words for this congregation: if the word is for you, circle the scripture—receive this word into your spirit, and at the end of the service, we will ask you to stand and claim your blessing of provision. Let’s pray before we proceed. God wants to speak to us in a special way.
Genesis 22:13—there is a ram in your thicket—
The story is a classic in the Bible—Abraham was to offer Isaac, but God intervened and stopped Abraham from killing his son. As Abraham looked up, he saw a ram caught by his horns in the thicket—
There is a ram in your thicket—God is ahead of you—God knows what you are going to need and when you are going to need it. If you will be obedient to do what God has asked you to do, He is the God of Supernatural provision. You’ve been looking for the ram, you’ve been searching through the thicket, but as soon as you go to God, as soon as you follow him, there will be rams in all of your thickets—say to the Lord, Jehovah-jireh, my provider. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on thy own understanding, in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths. Now say, there is a ram in my thicket, and when I get to where God is bringing me the provision will be waiting there for me.
I Kings 18:44—there is a storm for your drought—you have been going through a dry place, you don’t see much on the horizon of life, but go look another time, there is a small cloud in your sky, and it is bringing the abundance of rain into your life—
The rain will be greater than the drought—what the enemy has stolen in the midst of the drought, the lord will give back, pressed down, shaken together and running over, because he is greater at giving back than the enemy is at stealing away, because his name means Abundance when you hear the sound in your spirit. Now say, there is a storm for my drought, God has not forgotten me; He is about to send me a shower of blessings into my life.
Jonah 1:17—there is a blessing at the bottom of your sea—you have run from God and your life is a mess. The storms are raging, the world has thrown you overboard and it looks like the story of your life is over. But God has prepared something to catch you, to keep you, and when you have repented and the Lord delivers you onto dry land, you will go and proclaim the message of the Lord throughout the land. That God is a God of supernatural provision. Even though the world is finished with you, God isn’t finished with you, He has just begun that good work in you, and will complete it in Christ Jesus. Say it to the world, say it to the devil, there is a blessing at the bottom of my sea. Just when you said it was over for me, God has said, I have only just begun.
Acts 16:25-26 there’s going to be an earthquake in your prison—
The devil has had you locked up and thinks that you are bound forever—but he doesn’t realize that the God of supernatural provision is getting ready to shake down your walls
The key is to begin to pray, and praise and sing unto the Lord a new song
Not only are you going to be set free, but everyone around you is going to be loosed as you praise the Lord.
Today there isn’t a wall strong enough that God can’t shake down—give him your walls, give him your chains, give him your prison house and let Him set you free. Say it loud and strong, God is getting ready to shake down the walls, and I am going free, and I will never be bound again.
John 6:7,12-13 there is going to be bread in your empty basket--God is going to fill not only your hunger, but he is going to overflow your life. You are about to move into provisions that are beyond the natural realm. God will supply your needs according to his riches in glory. Don’t expect Him to just fill your basket, but bring your vessels not a few, because the more you bring to him the more he will fill and run over. It isn’t the size of the basket, it isn’t the amount of bread, it is the multiplying ability of God that will make the difference in you life. God will so bless you, that not only will you receive blessings, but your life will begin to bless others. Now lets say, there is going to be bread in my empty basket.
