- Prospering me.” god knew if they started talking
- 00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:13.803
- If they started talking negative, lack, not enough.
- 00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:16.606

- You have supernatural provision, supernatural
- 00:05:38.694 --> 00:05:40.363
- Provision, supernatural increase. you're not
- 00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:41.697
- Increase. you're not limited by what
- 00:05:41.764 --> 00:05:42.832
- Limited by what limits me.”
- 00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:43.533
- Limits me.” in luke 5, jesus was at
- 00:05:43.599 --> 00:05:46.636
- In luke 5, jesus was at the sea of galilee.
- 00:05:46.702 --> 00:05:48.471
- The sea of galilee. there were so many people
- 00:05:48.538 --> 00:05:49.539
- There were so many people crowded around, he asked
- 00:05:49.605 --> 00:05:51.441
- Crowded around, he asked peter if he could borrow
- 00:05:51.507 --> 00:05:52.842
- Peter if he could borrow his boat to teach the
- 00:05:52.909 --> 00:05:54.210
- His boat to teach the people. he had never
- 00:05:54.277 --> 00:05:55.378
- People. he had never met peter, but peter
- 00:05:55.445 --> 00:05:56.479
- Met peter, but peter agreed. he pushed out
- 00:05:56.546 --> 00:05:58.147
- Agreed. he pushed out from the shore and
- 00:05:58.214 --> 00:05:58.915
- From the shore and taught. when he was
- 00:05:58.981 --> 00:06:00.349
- Taught. when he was finished, he told peter
- 00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:02.118
- Finished, he told peter to launch back out into
- 00:06:02.185 --> 00:06:03.686
- To launch back out into the deep and he would
- 00:06:03.753 --> 00:06:05.121
- The deep and he would catch a great haul of
- 00:06:05.188 --> 00:06:06.389
- Catch a great haul of fish. peter had fished
- 00:06:06.456 --> 00:06:08.791
- Fish. peter had fished all night and caught
- 00:06:08.858 --> 00:06:09.926
- All night and caught nothing. he was a
- 00:06:09.992 --> 00:06:11.327
- Nothing. he was a professional fisherman.
- 00:06:11.394 --> 00:06:13.162
- Professional fisherman. he knew when to fish,
- 00:06:13.229 --> 00:06:14.564
- He knew when to fish, where to fish.
- 00:06:14.630 --> 00:06:15.598
- Where to fish. jesus was a teacher,
- 00:06:15.665 --> 00:06:17.233
- Jesus was a teacher, a rabbi. i'm sure he
- 00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.335
- A rabbi. i'm sure he thought, “who is he
- 00:06:19.402 --> 00:06:21.070
- Thought, “who is he telling me how to fish?
- 00:06:21.137 --> 00:06:22.805
- Telling me how to fish? he should stick to teaching
- 00:06:22.872 --> 00:06:24.040
- He should stick to teaching and i'll stick to fishing.”
- 00:06:24.106 --> 00:06:25.842
- And i'll stick to fishing.” he said in effect, “jesus,
- 00:06:25.908 --> 00:06:27.443
- He said in effect, “jesus, this doesn't make sense
- 00:06:27.510 --> 00:06:28.511
- This doesn't make sense to me. nevertheless,
- 00:06:28.578 --> 00:06:30.480
- To me. nevertheless, at your word, i'm going
- 00:06:30.546 --> 00:06:31.881
- At your word, i'm going to do it.” he went out
- 00:06:31.948 --> 00:06:33.749
- To do it.” he went out and caught so many fish
- 00:06:33.816 --> 00:06:35.084
- And caught so many fish that his net began to
- 00:06:35.151 --> 00:06:36.152
- That his net began to break. he had to call
- 00:06:36.219 --> 00:06:37.920
- Break. he had to call another boat over.
- 00:06:37.987 --> 00:06:39.355
- Another boat over. they were both so
- 00:06:39.422 --> 00:06:40.156
- They were both so loaded down that they
- 00:06:40.223 --> 00:06:41.657
- Loaded down that they were about to sink.
- 00:06:41.724 --> 00:06:43.659
- Were about to sink. what's interesting is there
- 00:06:43.726 --> 00:06:45.228
- What's interesting is there were no fish there a couple
- 00:06:45.294 --> 00:06:46.896
- Were no fish there a couple of hours before. they had
- 00:06:46.963 --> 00:06:48.631
- Of hours before. they had fished all night. but god
- 00:06:48.698 --> 00:06:50.633
- Fished all night. but god controls the fish.
- 00:06:50.700 --> 00:06:52.535
- Controls the fish. he knows where your
- 00:06:52.602 --> 00:06:53.669
- He knows where your provision is, and he knows
- 00:06:53.736 --> 00:06:55.771
- Provision is, and he knows how to get it to you.
- 00:06:55.838 --> 00:06:56.772
- How to get it to you. it may not make sense.
- 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.908
- It may not make sense. it may not be logical, what
- 00:06:58.975 --> 00:07:00.977
- It may not be logical, what you were expecting.
- 00:07:01.043 --> 00:07:02.445
- You were expecting. god likes to do things out
- 00:07:02.512 --> 00:07:04.280
- God likes to do things out of the ordinary, uncommon
- 00:07:04.347 --> 00:07:06.749
- Of the ordinary, uncommon so you'll know it was the
- 00:07:06.816 --> 00:07:08.150
- So you'll know it was the hand of god. peter let
- 00:07:08.217 --> 00:07:10.453
- Hand of god. peter let jesus borrow his boat.
- 00:07:10.520 --> 00:07:12.488
- Jesus borrow his boat. that was his business,
- 00:07:12.555 --> 00:07:13.990
- That was his business, his source of income.
- 00:07:14.056 --> 00:07:15.892
- His source of income. he could have said,
- 00:07:15.958 --> 00:07:16.526
- He could have said, “jesus, i'm busy, i'm
- 00:07:16.592 --> 00:07:18.160
- “jesus, i'm busy, i'm tired, i don't know you.
- 00:07:18.227 --> 00:07:19.328
- Tired, i don't know you. go find another boat.”
- 00:07:19.395 --> 00:07:21.197
- Go find another boat.” but he gave his resource
- 00:07:21.264 --> 00:07:22.431
- But he gave his resource to jesus. he was generous.
- 00:07:22.498 --> 00:07:25.167
- To jesus. he was generous. this was symbolic of
- 00:07:25.234 --> 00:07:26.402
- This was symbolic of putting god first place.
- 00:07:26.469 --> 00:07:28.838
- Putting god first place. proverbs says, “honor the
- 00:07:28.905 --> 00:07:30.406
- Proverbs says, “honor the lord with your income and

- My boat these first four hours. i'm giving you
- 00:07:59.068 --> 00:08:00.403
- Hours. i'm giving you this income.”
- 00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:01.938
- This income.” when you let god use
- 00:08:02.004 --> 00:08:03.239
- When you let god use your boat, you're setting
- 00:08:03.306 --> 00:08:04.607

- Return. peter owned the boat, but god owned
- 00:08:20.456 --> 00:08:21.958

- Flocks and all of our herds that wouldn't be
- 00:21:05.554 --> 00:21:06.455
- Herds that wouldn't be enough.” god didn't say,
- 00:21:06.521 --> 00:21:08.190
- Enough.” god didn't say, “you know what moses,
- 00:21:08.256 --> 00:21:08.990
- “you know what moses, you're right. what was
- 00:21:09.057 --> 00:21:10.359

- “moses, is there any limit to my power?” he was
- 00:21:15.831 --> 00:21:17.833
- To my power?” he was saying, “don't you realize
- 00:21:17.899 --> 00:21:19.000
- Saying, “don't you realize that i control the universe.
- 00:21:19.067 --> 00:21:20.969
- That i control the universe. i put rams in a bush.
- 00:21:21.036 --> 00:21:22.838
- I put rams in a bush. i tell fish to get into a
- 00:21:22.904 --> 00:21:24.339

- Out of a rock. i tell compaq centers to go
- 00:21:27.642 --> 00:21:28.877
- Compaq centers to go to my people.”
- 00:21:28.944 --> 00:21:29.644
- To my people.” the scripture says, “god
- 00:21:29.711 --> 00:21:32.681
- The scripture says, “god shifted the wind and caused
- 00:21:32.748 --> 00:21:35.517

- 00:21:59.775 --> 00:22:01.009
- There were ten quail in a bushel. then everyone
- 00:22:01.076 --> 00:22:02.577
