Connect the "God-Dots"
May 2019

Follow the “Lord of the Harvest”
It’s His idea to save the world. It’s His idea to send for laborers. He knows the world we live in and all the sin and corruption around us.
If we know we are called of God at this time to be doing what we are doing, we can be assured that He is able to provide all of our needs. This includes not only shelter, food, clothes and other daily necessities, but the tools and expertise we need to do our best for Him.
I can tell you hundreds of personal testimonies after 44 years of living and ministering by faith, that God expects us to believe! That’s His language. We seek God for today’s provision (Luke 11:1), as Jesus told his disciples to do. We can ask God, “How do you want to support this calling you gave me? I depend on YOU.” We step forward into His calling and take action to reach the unsaved and hurting. That may be building houses for the poor, starting a business to give them jobs, ministry on the streets, or medical missions. Whatever it is, it’s by Faith. (Heb. 11:6)
Without faith it is impossible to please HIM. In our personal everyday relationships, we walk with the Lord in our calling and trust for provision. Yes, He might decide to provide last minute but there will be a reason. (John 11:15) Daily needs are part of our faith calling. The Father knows our needs before we ask (Matt. 6:32) but we must ask, expect and walk in confidence because if we ask according to His will, He hears us, and we know we have the things we ask for. I John 3:22-23.
He will give you revelation of His ways for personal provision. He has given us the Bible to follow and obey. His specialty is to reveal who is to help partner with you and where to receive your daily, weekly and monthly provision. Short term and long-term provision are part of His plan of discovery for you. He has given us many verses to show His will. Individual revelation is something He delights to give us. God’s methods of provision for you can change from time to time. There’s not one support development formula that works for all.
What I am teaching is a way of life. The beginning of my journey is in my first book, White Knuckle Faith. God loves the interdependence of the body of Christ. God has many ways to provide, so we must do our best to hear God and work because God will provide for His glory! He wants your work to be unhindered. (Titus 3:13-14.)
Fellow believers are not always faithful; therefore from time to time we need His super natural provision.
God has many ways He can speak to you and it will be different for every one. Connect the “God-dots” and act. Your gifting’s, abilities, mind and innovation can and will be utilized. He has already set into place your support Go Team. Just discover your team by Faith. (Luke 8:3) He loves to surprise!
Take action! Declare your calling and step into action today!
Here are a few self-affirmations that we can honestly confirm:
-
I am called of God to be here (or on my way to go where I am called.) My whole heart is engaged.
-
I am walking with God with a clear conscience.
-
I am or will do the possible to build and raise a support Go Team for my service.
-
I will work 6 days a week serving and doing the work of ministry, keeping my devotional life excellent before the Lord.
-
I will follow the Spirit and obey the Lord expecting God’s loving care for me.
-
I will praise God for His goodness and expect Him to provide for me “a worker worthy of support”. (II Chronicles 19:9)
-
I will not grumble and complain if provision gets tight because "He knows our needs..." (Matthew 6:8)
Your joy will be full!
His Best;
