WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: JESUS: OUR SOURCE

I want to share something with you today that I never really thought of before this morning. For the last few weeks, I kept seeing videos pop up about the impending collapse of our economy and wished I had invested in gold. God hears our thoughts and knows our anxiety even when we don’t voice it to him. It is not like I have been praying about having gold in order to secure my financial future.

To God I have been speaking the words of faith, even if I didn’t fully feel them. God reminded me He is my security and my source. Then I thought about the children of Israel. It is like he said to me, “They had massive amounts of gold, silver and jewels but they still needed me to provide.”  I had to sit and think about that this morning. At that time gold, silver and jewels didn’t mean much because there were no stores in the desert, not even a dollar general in sight. Their gold could not be used to purchase for them food, water, shelter, clothing or shoes.

The entire time they wandered in the desert, God was their source. He supplied all they needed. We have no greater security than knowing that our Lord is in control and will take care of us. We don’t need large stashes of gold or silver. They just needed him to watch over them and so do we today.

Deut 2:7  For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

We often quote Phil 4:19, but do we really believe it. I admit at times I do and other times I allow doubt to creep in and tell me lies. It is in those times God sends me reminders to pull me from my human understanding and concern.

Phil 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Notice it didn’t say some needs. It said all your need. Think about all the wealth God has, all the gold and silver belong to him. This verse is not only material things. It can mean if we need peace, he has an abundance of peace to share. If we need joy, he has an abundance of joy to share. He truly is all we need, if we can learn to fully surrender and fully trust in him.

When I looked up the phrase supply all your need in the original text it translates as to cram, level up, to furnish, diffuse, satisfy, finish, complete or impart richly.  If we have a need, he will fill it until it is finished, satisfied and complete.

How much more could he provide than that, he will give us what we have need of until there is no longer even a hint of a need.

Psalm 146:7-9  Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners: 8 The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous: 9 The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

God is about to turn the ways of the wicked upside down. As we face the things that are coming, pray for protection over God’s people. Pray for godly leaders that will stand for truth and the constitution. Pray for President Trump and his family that God will continue to protect them from evil.  Pray for peace, strength and provision.  Peace that we will not fall into fear. Satan wants nothing more than to make us fear what could happen. Strength to stand strong against the attacks of our enemy. Provision to sustain us through whatever is facing us.

Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

We cannot give up now, we are almost at the finish line. I think that Jesus is saying this to us today, instead of Simon, Simon, he is saying all of our names. Satan desired to sift you as wheat, but I have strengthened you. We have almost completed our course. But we must keep holding onto our faith for just a little while longer.

We are in the darkness before the dawn when God will send down his power on this earth. We will have a great harvest of souls. Our lost loved ones are depending on us not to get side-tracked. They need us to stay laser-focused on God and his plan for the next few months.

It is time we shake off the shackles that the enemy is trying to put on us to cause fear, anxiety, worry and unbelief. Jesus is truly all we need.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
