  • Look with me in genesis 45. i'll begin with
  • 00:05:00.647 --> 00:05:01.248
  • I'll begin with the famous verse,
  • 00:05:01.315 --> 00:05:02.182
  • The famous verse, verse 5, "but now,
  • 00:05:02.249 --> 00:05:04.351
  • Verse 5, "but now, do not therefore be grieved
  • 00:05:04.418 --> 00:05:05.919
  • Do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves."
  • 00:05:05.986 --> 00:05:07.755
  • Or angry with yourselves." this is joseph
  • 00:05:07.821 --> 00:05:08.422
  • This is joseph talking to his brothers.
  • 00:05:08.489 --> 00:05:10.290
  • Talking to his brothers. "because you sold me here.
  • 00:05:10.357 --> 00:05:12.559
  • "because you sold me here. for god sent me before you
  • 00:05:12.626 --> 00:05:15.295
  • For god sent me before you to preserve your life."
  • 00:05:15.362 --> 00:05:19.500
  • To preserve your life." verse 7, "and god sent me
  • 00:05:19.566 --> 00:05:21.635
  • Verse 7, "and god sent me before you to preserve
  • 00:05:21.702 --> 00:05:24.405
  • Before you to preserve a prosperity --
  • 00:05:24.471 --> 00:05:25.973
  • A prosperity -- a posterity for you
  • 00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:27.141
  • A posterity for you in the earth,
  • 00:05:27.207 --> 00:05:28.375
  • In the earth, and to save your lives
  • 00:05:28.442 --> 00:05:29.910
  • And to save your lives by a great deliverance."
  • 00:05:29.977 --> 00:05:31.578
  • By a great deliverance." one more time.
  • 00:05:31.645 --> 00:05:32.446
  • One more time. it says it in verse 11,
  • 00:05:32.513 --> 00:05:33.781
  • It says it in verse 11, "therefore, i," joseph,
  • 00:05:33.847 --> 00:05:35.983
  • "therefore, i," joseph, "will provide for you
  • 00:05:36.049 --> 00:05:38.585
  • "will provide for you and your household
  • 00:05:38.652 --> 00:05:40.187
  • And your household all you have,
  • 00:05:40.254 --> 00:05:42.423
  • All you have, come to poverty for that --
  • 00:05:42.489 --> 00:05:44.391
  • Come to poverty for that -- lest you come to poverty,
  • 00:05:44.458 --> 00:05:45.893
  • Lest you come to poverty, for there are is still
  • 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.060
  • For there are is still five years of famine."
  • 00:05:47.127 --> 00:05:50.631
  • Five years of famine." so, there are four ways
  • 00:05:50.697 --> 00:05:52.833
  • So, there are four ways that god will provide for us,
  • 00:05:52.900 --> 00:05:56.103
  • That god will provide for us, and they're found so easily
  • 00:05:56.170 --> 00:05:57.571
  • And they're found so easily in the scriptures.
  • 00:05:57.638 --> 00:05:59.173
  • In the scriptures. the first way that
  • 00:05:59.239 --> 00:06:00.007
  • The first way that god provides for you,
  • 00:06:00.073 --> 00:06:01.341
  • God provides for you, if you're taking notes,

  • To learn this point. god uses man's hands,
  • 00:15:49.829 --> 00:15:51.064
  • God uses man's hands, but god is real touchy about
  • 00:15:51.131 --> 00:15:53.767

  • 00:15:53.833 --> 00:15:55.101
  • When you start looking to anybody more than him
  • 00:15:55.168 --> 00:15:57.404
  • To anybody more than him as your source.
  • 00:15:57.470 --> 00:15:59.439
  • As your source. and there will be people
  • 00:15:59.506 --> 00:16:00.507
  • And there will be people that god will send,
  • 00:16:00.573 --> 00:16:02.008

  • Be humbled by it for the rest of your life,
  • 00:16:14.754 --> 00:16:16.289
  • For the rest of your life, but never, ever forget
  • 00:16:16.356 --> 00:16:18.825
  • But never, ever forget that your business
  • 00:16:18.892 --> 00:16:20.360
  • That your business is the system,
  • 00:16:20.427 --> 00:16:22.228
  • Is the system, but god is your source.
  • 00:16:22.295 --> 00:16:25.331
  • But god is your source. the brook and the bird
  • 00:16:25.398 --> 00:16:27.233
  • The brook and the bird was the system,
  • 00:16:27.300 --> 00:16:28.802
  • Was the system, but god was elijah's source.
  • 00:16:28.868 --> 00:16:31.871
  • But god was elijah's source. and god said at some point
  • 00:16:31.938 --> 00:16:34.474
  • And god said at some point the bird stopped flying
  • 00:16:34.541 --> 00:16:36.209
  • The bird stopped flying and the brook stop flowing.
  • 00:16:36.276 --> 00:16:38.211
  • And the brook stop flowing. and god let him know,
  • 00:16:38.278 --> 00:16:40.146
  • And god let him know, any time god causes --
  • 00:16:40.213 --> 00:16:43.850
  • Any time god causes -- let's say you're in business
  • 00:16:43.917 --> 00:16:45.018
  • Let's say you're in business and you get this big contract
  • 00:16:45.085 --> 00:16:47.220
  • And you get this big contract and man it's blessed you
  • 00:16:47.287 --> 00:16:48.688
  • And man it's blessed you this year, and last year,

  • This year, and last year, and the year before that.
  • 00:16:50.223 --> 00:16:51.257
  • And the year before that. and then the economy shifts
  • 00:16:51.324 --> 00:16:52.959
  • And then the economy shifts and suddenly you lose
  • 00:16:53.026 --> 00:16:54.494
  • And suddenly you lose that major contract.
  • 00:16:54.561 --> 00:16:56.362
  • That major contract. it's so easy
  • 00:16:56.429 --> 00:16:57.163
  • It's so easy to just fall to pieces.
  • 00:16:57.230 --> 00:16:59.132
  • To just fall to pieces. but god's wanting
  • 00:16:59.199 --> 00:17:00.300
  • But god's wanting to teach you something
  • 00:17:00.366 --> 00:17:01.234
  • To teach you something in that moment.

  • "well, where's that at in scripture?"
  • 00:17:22.522 --> 00:17:23.423
  • At in scripture?" in exodus 16:14
  • 00:17:23.490 --> 00:17:25.825
  • In exodus 16:14 the bible said that,
  • 00:17:25.892 --> 00:17:28.795
  • The bible said that, "god sent manna from heaven
  • 00:17:28.862 --> 00:17:31.764
  • "god sent manna from heaven in the wilderness
  • 00:17:31.831 --> 00:17:32.732
  • In the wilderness to feed the children of israel."
  • 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.001
  • To feed the children of israel." and it says that
  • 00:17:35.068 --> 00:17:35.969
  • And it says that there were certain families
  • 00:17:36.035 --> 00:17:37.504
  • There were certain families in the wilderness that had --
  • 00:17:37.570 --> 00:17:40.907
  • In the wilderness that had -- that had one piece of manna,
  • 00:17:40.974 --> 00:17:44.611
  • That had one piece of manna, and there were others
  • 00:17:44.677 --> 00:17:45.478
  • And there were others that got three loaves,
  • 00:17:45.545 --> 00:17:47.147
  • That got three loaves, and others that had six loaves.
  • 00:17:47.213 --> 00:17:49.782

  • 00:17:56.422 --> 00:17:58.691
  • One tent one loaf and gave the next tent three,
  • 00:17:58.758 --> 00:18:01.327
  • And gave the next tent three, and the next six?
  • 00:18:01.394 --> 00:18:02.462
  • And the next six? it's because they had
  • 00:18:02.529 --> 00:18:03.229
  • It's because they had more people in it,
  • 00:18:03.296 --> 00:18:05.064
  • More people in it, and god won't give you
  • 00:18:05.131 --> 00:18:06.466
  • And god won't give you six loaves
  • 00:18:06.533 --> 00:18:07.567
