Receiving Your Kingdom Supply 2

Reach down and pick up our Bibles, wave them around, make Jesus glad, stand back up, please.

And Simon says stand up.

No, let's say this together.

Say, heavenly Father, I am glad to be here.

There's no other place I'd rather be, and I have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to me.

Today I'm conscious of the fact that you've chosen me to live in the last days.

I'm in the terminal generation, and what I'm gonna do for you, I have to hurry up and get it done, because you are coming back, and I'm glad for that.

In Jesus' day, they bid Praise God.

You can be seated and turn today to Matthew 25.

And also third John, the epistle.

We'll start with Matthew 25, very familiar parable of the talents, and we're speaking on receiving your kingdom supply.

This is a second message, and so we're starting with a different verse than last week, because I've got some different law of the kingdom to share with you today.

And so the first one here is in verse, starting with verse 14, chapter 25.

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country who called his own servants and delivered unto them his goods.

See, this is Jesus speaking.

He's talking about himself, he's drawing a comparison.

How many of you know?

He did leave, but he left us what His goods?

And under one he gave five talents, to another two and to another one, to every man according to his individual ability, and straightway took his journey.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded.

He conducted business with the five that he had received.

Why did he get them?

Because he had enough ability to receive five.

We all have different abilities, it's just how it is.

It's no big deal, we can get more abilities, we go along.

But he started with five and he went and traded, did business Everybody say kingdom business and traded with the five and made them another five talents.

And likewise, he that received two gained another two.

He that received one went and dug a hole in the backyard and buried it.

And well, okay, it doesn't say that, but that's my interpretation.

Where else would you bury except in the backyard?

And after a long time, let's say a long time.

It wasn't just the next day, it wasn't the next week, what?

Next month?

A long time.

The Lord of those servants cometh and reckoneth with them, holds them accountable.

Are you with me?

And so he that received five talents came and brought other five talents, said Lord, you delivered under me five talents, but I'll gain five talents more.

Lord said on him well done, not medium, rare, well done, not good.

In faithful servant Now has been faithful over a few things.

I will make thee ruler over many things.

There's a reward now.

Enter thou into the joy of the Lord.

And the same happened with the two, same exact wording.

He said yeah, you know, you've been faithful over a few things.

I'm gonna make you ruler over many things.

Enter out into the joy of the Lord.

Now, into the joy of the Lord.

Well done, well done.

They both had the same report.

One had five, one had two.

So now they one have 10 and the other has four.

Then he comes to the one, and he which had received verse 24, the one talent, he that received the one talent, came and said Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, gathering where you have not strawed.

And I was afraid and I went and hid not talent in the earth.

And I said oh, here it is.

It's kind of tarnished and everything kind of you know, looks kind of bad.

But here it is.

Thank God I didn't lose it.

At least I didn't lose it, lord, I didn't lose it.

Here it is.

The Lord answered and said you, wicked and lazy One of the gospel says unprofitable servants.

What's he doing?

He's reckoning, he's holding them accountable.

And this one, I didn't have.

This I'm very good news right here.

I mean, he didn't say, oh, it's all right, little darling, come on, give me a hug.

I know you did the best.

No, he didn't say any of that.

This is Jesus talking.

We need to get our minds renewed to what Jesus is expecting.

And so, you, wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reaped where I sold out, gathered where I've not strawed.

You ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers and then, at my coming, I should have received my own with interest, user's interest, at least.

Give me some interest.

Take therefore the talent from him and give it to the guy that's got 10.

Another gospel says and he shall have abundance.

And people standing around says Lord, he's got 10.

How come you're gonna give him more?

You know, that's just the law of the kingdom.

I'm telling you, the more successful you are, the more successful you are.

Success breeds success.

Take from him the one and give it to the guy that's got 10.

Yes, glory to God.

This is Jesus talking.

Amen, because to everyone that hath shall be, given hath what Hath traded and put his talents to use, he put him to use, or in other words, he put him at risk.

Are you with me now Talking about laws of the kingdom, laws of the kingdom?

Traded that hath done business, that has used his talent, he shall have abundance.

And from him that hath not traded, that has not put at risk, hath not, has acted in fear, from him shall be taken away even that which he has, and cast ye, the unprofitable servant, into outer darkness, and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Hmm, that's pretty disturbing.

I thought.

One saved, always saved.

That's what they preach in the Baptist church.

One saved, always saved.

But I don't believe that, except for me.

I was once saved and I'm always going to be saved.

I ain't going back to the devil.

But I can't say that about you, because why?

You've got a choice.

God's not a robot, he's not a puppet master.

He's not.

He doesn't have his own strings and make us do everything.

It's up to us.

All these three had a choice to make.

Two got rewarded and one got, you know judged.

Are you with me now?

All right, and then let's look at 3rd John chapter or verse two.

This is the apostle John, the apostle whom Jesus loved.

Always say that.

3rd John two, verse two beloved, I wish, or I pray above all things.

Everybody shout priority, I pray above all things, that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as the soul prospers.

For I rejoice greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is, in the even as you walk and continue in the truth.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

What truth is that?

The truth of prosperity and health.

It's the priority with God.

How many of you know that that John wrote, inspired of the Holy ghost?

This must be.

It's not just John's priority, it has to be God's priority.

He wouldn't have put it in the Bible, right?

So today we're talking about receiving your kingdom supply and I want you supply conscious and not inflation conscious.

I mean yes.

I mean look you, you, you're going to.

You've noticed everything's gone up in price, everything.

And my, my job is, is, as your pastor is, to teach you the word of God so that you can, you can steal yourself against this ungodly flow because you have a.

You have a, you absolutely have a, a supply that's independent of this world's economy, and you've got to know it then in your spirit.

It's not enough for you to just hear it.

Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, pastor, that's right, I know Well.

No, you're going to have to renew your mind to some things, some truths, and those that that supply is not just going to come running up your driveway and deposit itself at your back door.

You're going to have to believe something, you're going to have to say something, you're going to have to stand against some things.

Are you with me now?

We're living so.

So I wanted to point this out to you that there are a couple of things.

Last week we talked about the law of serving.

We talked, we spoke out of Matthew six, the Thurman on the Mount.

They went amaze.

They'd never heard anybody teach like him.

He teaches us one.

He's not teaching like the scribes, a bunch of marshmallows, he's teaching as one that has authority.

They'd never heard any kingdom teaching.

They hadn't heard about God as their father.

They had not heard how that God cares about their needs, and so he had to tell him.

He said you know your father in heaven.

See.

They didn't relate to God as father.

That was news to them.

He's the judge, he's the mean one.

He's ready to kill him, he's ready to hit him upside the head.

No prophet for 400 years, nope, no.

They weren't handling their money right, they were serving money.

As a matter of fact, they were in the middle of being ruled by the Roman Empire.

They had lost their kingdom of Israel.

They had lost everything.

They lost everything.

There's no Shekinah presence in the temple.

That long, long road gone.

Did you?

Were you aware of that?

There's no Shekinah glory there.

They'd already lost the glory.

And then one thing after another, after another.

Why?

Because they wouldn't keep their end of the covenant.

And it wasn't that God did anything.

His word did it.

His word was inviolate and His word.

They got on the wrong side of His promises.

They got on the wrong side of their covenant.

Are you with me now?

What does not mean?

He loves you, he knows you have needs.

And so here he is.

What was Jesus doing?

He's preaching the gospel to the poor.

That's what this whole message is the gospel to the poor.

What is the poor?

The poor are people who can't meet the needs of the harvest.

And I submit to you that we're all poor in that sense.

I mean we might be rich compared to the rest of this world and we are.

I mean nobody has the kind of money We've got anywhere in the world.

We are rich and with that comes responsibility.

We have to learn the laws of the kingdom.

So we talked about the law of serving.

He said seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.

He didn't say subtracted, he said I'll make sure you've got shelter and clothing and food and you don't have to ever have any anxious thought about it and little faith worries about their supply.

We talked about all that.

The law of serving.

You can either serve God or mammon.

You can't serve both at the same time.

You've got to make mammon or wealth.

The word mammon means wealth.

You've got to make your wealth serve.

You Talked about that last week.

We've got to make our wealth serve the kingdom and we serve God, and then all our needs are met.

All our needs, all means all.

We talked about that.

And then we talked about the law of calling.

Jesus talked about the law of calling and we've got to say some things.

We've got listen if we don't talk right, our supply might be on our way, on the way to us.

It's coming through the hands of ungodly men.

God's not raining the money out of heaven.

He's not a counterfeiter.

Money's down here.

Everything we need, houses are down here, cloving's down here, whatever you have need of is down here, and it's usually being held in the hands of ungodly men.

How are we going to get it out of their hands?

We're going to seek God first and then we're going to speak to our needs.

Your supply has ears.

It has a name.

It has ears and it will obey you Amen.

We talked about all that last week, but I want you to understand that that was in a nation that was being ruled by another nation.

China is behind the scenes and a whole lot of things in our nation.

Right now.

We've lost control of our country.

I don't even want to hear that on Sunday morning.

Well, you can hear it anyway.

It's true, most of our politicians have been bought and paid for by China, and they bought our debt, and so you know they're flexing their muscles and they're trying to get the courage up to do some things that they want to do, but they're not real sure.

They're not real sure about what's gonna happen.

So they haven't done it.

They're not near as brave as they seem to be, because they know history.

All of this nation is the greatest nation that's ever existed.

It's a gift to the rest of the world.

It's a headship gift, and that's why the devil hates this nation.

I'm not.

I don't know how this nation is gonna ultimately come out.

It's you know.

But I know one thing we're in this nation, but we're not of it, and we have an independent kingdom supply.

They did too.

They had an independent supply, even though Rome was ruling over them.

They had the right to have their needs met, and that's why Jesus would go hey, I got good news for you.

Yeah, just seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added.

You don't have to have any anxious thought about it.

Amen.

So when we read today, third John 2, god's priority is for you to have success in business.

Prosperity means success in business affairs.

That means we ought to be engaged in business.

What kind of business?

Kingdom business.

Well, not be burying what we have in the backyard, hoping things will get better.

Well, not be trying to hide what we've got in a mattress somewhere.

I knew a guy one time that owned 30 some odd.

I knew of him.

I didn't know him, I knew his grandson.

He had 30 some odd rent houses in the inner city enter inside the loop 35, I think, rent houses and he himself lived in a trailer house.

He was fearful of everything, fearful of losing money, and he died.

His grandson took over, trying to find out and he found 30 some odd thousand dollars in the walls of that old trailer.

You know those old trailers.

They'd have this old paneling.

You know the V groove paneling.

And he went through there.

His grandmother says he's got money hidden in there.

You better go find it.

He pulled up the floor, he pulled out the this old, this old crummy trailer house in the middle of a crummy neighborhood, crime ridden even back then 40 years ago, and he had 30 some odd thousand dollars.

And then the grandson went and tried to trace all the money and it was 800 and some odd thousand dollars where the CDs scattered all over Houston and savings and loans and places like that.

So he had hoarded it, he had served his money.

He was so fearful.

Let's not be fearful.

Let's get out there and do some business, let's produce for God.

He's gonna hold us accountable.

And when we read in Matthew 25, guess where Matthew 25 is?

It's right after Matthew 24, where Jesus is talking about the end days.

They said, jesus, what are the what's gonna be, the signs of your return, what's what's gonna be?

And the end signs of the end of the age?

And he said you know, take heed that you be not deceived.

And then he went down.

You know, nation arise against nation, earthquakes, famines, pestles.

When you see these things begin to come to pass, lift up your head, for your redemption draweth nigh.

Then he gets into chapter 25 and he starts giving you example after example of what the kingdom of heaven is all about.

He gives you parable after parable, and this is one of them.

And then, right after this, he talks about the judgment of the nations.

So what's the context of what I'm talking about?

In times?

If there's a generation that needs to put these laws to work, it's our generation.

We don't have to be, all you know, afraid of the political atmosphere in this country.

We can be.

I mean, I get aggravated, like everybody, but I just turn the news off.

Once I find out what it is, I turn it off.

I don't sit there and meditate on it.

I heard about that horrible shooting.

We prayed and then I don't wanna hear anymore Cause I know there's gonna be a bunch of baloney.

You got President Goofball there going to Uvaldi today and it's not Uvaldi, it's Uvaldi.

Okay, we don't live in Mexico, it's you know?

I know it's, the proper pronunciation would be Uvaldi, but they don't call it Uvaldi in Uvaldi.

That's just a pet peeve.

It's no big deal.

I'm from a furio.

I mean, the proper pronunciation in Spanish is rafuio.

When nobody calls it rafuio, some people call it rafuio, rafuio, rafuio, pet peeve.

Yeah, yeah, they're gonna use this tragedy.

They're so worried about these kids.

They don't care about these children.

They don't care about babies in the womb, they don't care about babies out of the womb.

They're just raising money for gun control.

They don't want to take all of our, not just guns.

They want to take the Constitution and get rid of the Constitution.

You gotta understand it's a big, big thing they're trying to do.

They're trying to eliminate the Constitution.

That's what they want to do.

So you know, we can get all bummed out.

We can get all yeah, we need to know what's going on, we need to be informed and we need to act against it at the boating booth and we're gonna have to be more involved.

We have to rise up and do some things, but at the same time let's not be fearful and start putting our money in the walls of our houses and cutting holes in the sheet rock and putting it in the mattress.

Let's put it to work.

So this law is the law of use.

Two of those laborers of their servants put their masters in.

Look, all the money was the masters.

It's another thing we need to get straight.

None of the money's ours, it's all his.

It's all his.

We like to talk about 10%, 90% and all of that, but really 100% of it's his.

But what we do with the first 10th means that we can treat the 90 kinda like ours, but we're still stewards of it.

And if we're not gonna produce, we're gonna pay a price in the end.

Everybody say I'm a producer, I'm a producer, hallelujah.

And so everybody say the law of use.

So you know, last week we talked about the law of calling, talked about the law of serving or the law of priority, and now this week the law of use.

We've got to put our things to use that God has given us.

God has given every one of us resources.

It's not just money, it's talent, it's just those intangible things that make us all different and that's why we need each other.

We need each other as a body.

I mean, you know, we all have different functions, we all have different gifts, gifts different, different anointings, and we need each other to come together.

And as we've talked about the anointing, you know the total is greater than the sum of the individual parts.

But we all have to produce through the law of use.

I say the law of use, see, use it or lose it.

Two of them used it and they gained, and the other one didn't and he lost.

And that's still true.

It is a law.

It's not even God.

It God didn't take, god didn't take the talent from him and give it to the other guy.

The word did.

Are y'all with me now?

It another words he opened the door to Satan to steal that money.

It went in temporarily into the kingdom of darkness and guess what happens there?

We get it when we employ all the laws of the kingdom.

We pull that money out of the kingdom of darkness and we start using it.

I wanna connect some dots and get your thinking straight.

We've got to get our thinking, got our mind renewed to the laws of the kingdom so that you're not afraid when you go to the gas pump.

Let's stay ahead of it.

Like I said last week, when you realize that you're spending $500 a month more on gas and you were last year guess what you're gonna have to do?

You're gonna have to receive more of your supply.

You gotta call it.

Don't wait for six months until you're $3,000 upside down and put it on a credit card and pay 22% interest on that, because that's the recipe to disaster.

Stay ahead of it in your faith and what you're calling and you're serving God and you're making your money.

Serve you and the law of use.

Are you getting this now?

All right, let's look at second Kings, for praise God, you get anything out of this so far.

Let's look at the Old Testament, because the Old Testament is there for our admonition upon whom the ends of the age have come, and you have Elijah and Elisha.

This is a tremendous chapter of Elisha.

Remember Elisha served Elijah and he got the double portion.

If you'll remember Elijah, during a time of judgment, he, god, told him okay, you've got judgment.

Now there's a famine on Israel, so go to Zarephath.

I've commanded a widow woman.

First of all.

He went to the brook.

He said I've commanded the ravens to feed you there.

How would you like the ravens to bring you lunch today?

A sloppy joe, bread and flesh bread and flesh sloppy joe.

Drink out of the brook, drink out of Cypress Creek.

Just bend over.

That's kind of the picture I have in my mind.

And that happened.

That worked pretty well until the brook dried up.

And then God said okay, the brook's dried up, it's getting kind of soupy down there now.

So I've commanded a widow woman in Zarephath to feed you there.

He had to go to the place called there.

But those things got a little mini book place called there.

There's a place called there when your supply is sure.

Even in a time of judgment, even when things are unraveling, we're in that partial judgment right now.

That's what's happening in the Ukraine judgment Lots of Jewish blood's shed on those countries Just not very long ago and people say, well, they got by with it.

Well, they're not getting by with it right now because there's a whole lot of blood being shed now.

Well, but they weren't there, I know.

But that's just how nations are judged.

Nations are nations and we're the church.

So here, elisha, he had the double portion, so he was able to minister.

And so that one, that widow woman, elijah, he and the widow woman and the widow woman's son ate for a whole year.

But they didn't have a.

They had a gradual miracle every day when she cooked.

You know, she didn't have an 18-wheeler of flour pull up to her house and a tanker truck full of oil, no, she just went out there and used what she had and God multiplied it every day when she cooked them their meals.

And so they ate on what wouldn't be enough, but they ate on that for a whole year.

But now we're gonna see a different anointing with Elisha and Elisha.

I wanna present to you that Elisha is a type of the church, elijah is a type of Jesus.

Jesus said though the works that I do show you do also, and greater works than you should you do.

What did Jesus do?

Well, he fed the 5,000 on five loaves, 4,000 on seven loaves.

We ought to be seeing some major miracles of multiplication in the church.

All right, so there's no extra charge for that little people.

Verse one, chapter four now there cried a certain woman of the wives, of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying Thy servant, my husband, is dead.

He didn't have life insurance and thou knowest that Thy servant did fear the Lord.

And the creditor has come to take unto him my two sons to be born.

Now that's pretty rotten.

First of all, that violates the Jewish law.

It's not right.

I mean, if he owed, if there was money owed, he should have forgiven it or at the least take one of the sons temporarily.

You could maybe make a case for that.

But for the creditor to come, take both sons, sentence the mother to death Because she's not gonna be able to make it.

She's a woman in Israel, she can't work outside the home Only way.

And so they're commanded to take care of the widow, just as we are.

So the creditor's are coming to take her sons to be bondmen.

And Elisha said unto her what shall I do for you?

You're crying unto me.

What do you want?

You gave me the circumstances.

What do you want?

And then he says tell me, what have you got in the house?

And she said bind me, have not anything in the house.

That's her first answer.

I ain't got nothing.

Have you ever said that to the Lord?

I just ain't got nothing.

I ain't got enough, I ain't got it.

Have you taken inventory?

Is it really true?

Because we all have something.

If we didn't have something, then God lied.

But God cannot lie, can he?

I mean, he's at least given us one talent, even if we're not very skillful.

Are you with me now?

No, you got something in the house.

You do yeah, and whatever you find is enough for your miracle.

That's what this is all about.

So, before you start saying and focusing on what you haven't got, let's start finding out what you do have.

And I'm not even talking all about money.

I'm also talking about opportunity.

I'm talking about gifting.

I'm talking about you know, what do you do?

Well, you got that.

Some of us are really great at marketing and sales and some of us are great at mechanical things.

Some of us are all kind of different things.

What have you got to use the law of use?

What have you got in the house?

She said I haven't got anything.

Oh, I forgot, save a pot of oil.

I got a little jar of oil, but what she didn't say is what is that among so many?

That's what the apostles said.

They said what have we got?

You know, we got all these people who are hungry.

Jesus sent them away.

We can't feed all these people.

What have we got?

We got any food?

Oh, just a little boy's lunch.

But what is that among so many?

See, she didn't say that, but she was thinking it.

What good is a pot of oil?

A pot of oil is not gonna pay my bills, it's not gonna pay the creditor.

I can't.

No, you got to use that pot of oil and you've got to use whatever you have.

It's the law of use.

You gotta use what you've got.

And so he said verse three go borrow the vessels abroad.

Of all thy neighbors, even the empty vessels, borrow, not a few.

My margin says scant, not, don't be stingy.

I mean, get out there, get those boys going.

You know, before they leave, you get out there and borrow from everybody up and down the street.

I mean they're, you know, the Smiths had three jars.

I'm bringing those over, mama.

I just, I see, I've just put myself on the scene.

I just, I just imagined, I just imagined them, just getting all these jars and putting them in the house, put them up on the countertops, put them on top of the toilet, put them inside the bathtub, put them all in the floor.

I mean there was no place.

You had to walk sideways all through the house like this Kind of like my aunt Eunice's house.

She was a hoarder before the, before anybody used those terms hoarders.

I mean she had so much junk in her house you couldn't even walk through it.

I mean furniture boxes, I don't know what was in the boxes, boxes, boxes stacked up the ceiling, and that's how I imagined her house.

They packed it full.

They packed it full of empty jars.

Packed it full of empty jars, Are you with me now?

Packed it full.

She had an interruption in her supply.

Her husband died, oh it.

And so while Lysha had to shift her attention on the fear, from the fear of running out to getting busy about meeting the need, and so she had to get over into faith, and I tell you what, when she started gathering all those jars, she began to realize, you know, he's got a, he's got a plan, he's got a plan, and so they fill the house up with these jars, and they didn't put them in the yard, you know, because he told them to shut the door and pour out, so they couldn't put them outside, only inside.

There was a limit, there was a limit.

So she started pouring out.

Let's keep reading here.

So he said bar those empty vessels, bar not a few, and when you're coming in, you shall shut the door upon you and your sons and pour out into all those vessels and you shall set aside that which is full.

So see, she had this promise that, even though they were empty, that they were going to be full.

So you know what did he do?

He got her shifted over into faith, she, he got her out of fear, the fear of running out, the fear of losing her sons, the fear of dying.

All fear is a fear of death.

Got her over to an excitement where she said you mean all these jars, son, we've still got some room.

Get some more jars in here.

I mean he, they had to go over the next block, they had to go across town and get some jars.

I mean they?

I mean she put jars everywhere in that house.

Are y'all getting a picture of this?

Had anything happened?

No, she still.

All she's still got is just a jar of oil and a bunch of empty jars.

That's it.

But he said when they're full, see, you start pouring out, start pouring into those empty jars.

And so he said you shall pour out into all those vessels.

He didn't say you'll pour out into some of the vessels until it runs out, did he?

He said you're going to pour out into all those vessels.

He said you're going to pour out into all those vessels.

So wouldn't you make all bigger?

Wouldn't you make sure you had the maximum number?

That was all.

Would you just put five in there when you could hold 55?

So you see, her face started engaging.

By just starting to gather all those vessels, her faith took off to the stratosphere.

I don't know if the boys are going to be able to do that, but I think they're going to be able to do that.

They're going to be able to do that.

And so he went from there.

I don't know if the boys caught on, but I tell you, when she started pouring those, when she started pouring that little jar of oil into those vessels, they caught on pretty quick.

And so he did what he said.

So she went from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her, and she poured out how many vessels were full.

All the vessels that they had gathered were full.

Does that make any sense?

Can that happen in the natural.

What does it take?

It takes the supernatural.

And here's the value of being hooked up with the 5th old minister.

She's hooked up with the prophet.

The prophet had the gifts of the spirit flowing where he could push fast forward on her situation.

You know your regular faith.

You know she might have worked her way out of this difficult situation, might have taken her a long time, but the prophet got involved and he just pushed the fast forward button and her faith got excited.

And I mean, this isn't just regular faith, this is the gift of faith, this is the gift of working of miracles.

Are y'all with me now?

We're living in the times when we've got to have the gift of faith and the gift of working of miracles to go along with our normal faith.

That's why I'm teaching this.

You can say she was stuck.

Was she stuck?

I mean she was stuck.

She was putting a rock in a hard place.

She's got creditors coming.

She owes this money and they're gonna come get as collateral.

I guess her husband must have used the boys as collateral, I guess I don't know how that happened, but anyway they're gonna take her only way of survival away from her.

They don't care whether she lives or dies.

That's pretty tough.

About six months ago I had a word on stuck October.

It was Sunday morning and during praise and worship I saw this car and I was like on bourgeois.

I had seen something like this recently and a car had gotten off of the ditch and got stuck and it had to have a record pulled out had to be a big record to get it out of that ditch.

It was a pretty big ditch and that's what I saw and I just made a if you're stuck this morning, come on up here.

God wants to get you unstuck.

I knew it, didn't give anything any more details.

I said you might be stuck career wise, you might be stuck, you might be stuck in your relationship, whatever the health, whatever it is.

A bunch of people came up but the first one up, the first one up, was Amber, back here, and she was sitting about where she is now and she come running up that aisle and she got here first.

I said boy, that's for you, isn't it?

She said absolutely, it's for me.

Yes, there's six months ago, and so what had happened is that she had.

She had a year before or so two years before that she had been working as a legal in the legal department of a big oil company that had gotten swallowed by another oil company and they started laying a bunch of people off and she survived that round of and we believed with her for that we're talking about the value of the gifts of the spirit now and so she survived.

But then eventually they they were gonna lower, lower layer off but they offered her a separation agreement which she took.

It was very generous separation agreement.

It gave her some breathing room and so then she just took off and she and then she kinda started looking around for the next place.

She didn't wanna just sit at home but she didn't have to go back to work right away, why?

Cause she was blessed with a chunk of change and she found this other job and it was ideal and she was right across the hallway from the CEO and me and I I mean she was so blessed and bigger salary and everything was great.

And then the CEO quit, went to another job or something, and they had a rearranging and they rearranged her and her boss was a her, her new boss we lived in Guam, right, am I telling you right?

And so she just I mean she just finally had to quit.

I mean, there's just no way she could continue working all day long and then this goofball in Guam calls her in the middle of the night, 12 hour difference in time.

How would you like your boss to call you at one o'clock in the morning, two o'clock in the morning, and give you a whole bunch of stuff to do in the middle of the night when you've already worked off day?

So she just resigned and so she was stuck.

The stuck was before you resigned, wasn't it?

The stuck was before you resigned.

So I don't remember what all I said to her, but laid hands on her and everybody else and from that she went.

She had the faith to make a change and she had an interview with a big oil company.

She's got a history of working in the legal departments real years ago she's legal secretary, of working for attorneys, but now in corporate law, oil related and it looked really good and it didn't come through and she was went to the law.

What's the deal, lord?

I mean I thought I had this job.

What she?

I just want you to relax, just take some time off.

So that was in October.

So in March she found this job.

It's a better job than she's had and it's with a what was it?

Energy company and she.

So they have offices and they, but their offices are small.

And she says you know what?

We don't want you, we're too crowded, we don't have an office for you, just work from home.

So she's working for home, for more money and it's a slower pace.

She used to just work from pillar and run from pillar to post, have 13 things going on at one time, and now she's doing legal, all kind of fantastic legal stuff she's never done before.

I mean, she's listen, I'm talking about getting unstuck, I'm talking about using what you've got.

See, she's been using what she's had and, of course, her and Micah are givers.

They're givers, they're givers of their time and they're givers of their finances.

Are you with me now?

So she was stuck and the prophet told her what to do and she did it, and so let's pick it up.

Verse six it came to pass when the vessels were full.

All of us, how many vessels?

All the vessels were full.

That she said unto her son bring me get a vessel.

He said there ain't not any more vessels, that's it, mama.

And the oil stayed.

When she quit pouring out the oil quit multiplying.

When she quit using it, the miracle quit.

When she quit using the miracle quit when she quit using the law of use, the miracle of multiplication quit.

A lot of people don't understand when you quit giving God, quits multiplying.

Then she came and told the man of God and he said go sell the oil by yourself a Mercedes Benz, get your new house.

You need a makeover.

Been through a lot lately.

Oil stains all over your clothes.

They just get you, you know, get you some new wardrobe and whatever's left over.

Pay your debt.

Is that what he said?

He said pay your debt first.

And these guys they did.

You know what they needed?

Two before up the head is what they did.

But on her side, her husband obligated and so God required her to do the right thing and pay that debt.

You know, sometimes we don't want to pay our debt.

We try to make all kinds of excuses why we shouldn't, but God's idea is for us to pay what we owe.

It's not wrong to negotiate it downward.

Credit card companies you know, sometimes you owe a lot credit card.

There's all kinds of things that have happened COVID this, that and the other.

And you can I mean I'm not against you negotiating.

If they agree to take less, that's not wrong.

Amen.

He said pay the debt by debt and live you and your children on the risk.

Praise God.

Everybody say divine supply.

So the law of use.

See, pouring out what she had into many vessels.

I think about this church.

We've gathered many vessels for you to pour into.

We've got a missions fund, we've got, you know.

We've got, you know, greatest year yet fund.

We've got all kinds of funds We've got.

We have gathered all kinds of vessels.

We've got the greatest, some of the greatest things to give into.

And when you pour into those things, you don't even have to go find them.

We've already found a bunch of them.

You can find your own if you, if you desire.

All I know is is that if you keep pouring, god will keep multiplying.

It's the law of use.

I said the law of use.

Everybody say I'm pouring out what I've got.

I'm not bearing it in the backyard.

I have a supply, a kingdom supply.

See, when you employ the law of serving or the law of priority, the law of calling and the law of use, you are tapping into the way God uses His word to make sure you have an uninterrupted supply, no matter what inflation does.

Amen, lift your hands and receive.

Praise God, everybody say I'm supply conscious instead of inflation conscious.

That does help you this morning, hallelujah.
