127. SUPPLY
--page 991--
My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil.4:19).
1. He's better to us than He was to Himself!
2. He never stops giving as long as you keep receiving.
3. The Lord sent it even if the Devil did bring it!
4. The loving unselfish people give out at the door & God puts in at the window.
5. Money should be the least of our worries--God's got plenty of it!
6. The Lord has promised us the World, but we will only actually receive as much as we have the faith for.
7. With every additional mouth, God will supply! If He doesn't, it's because you're not doing your job.
8. The Lord never failed us. As long as we worked & were faithful and diligent in all our jobs and didn't live beyond our income, didn't live on credit and didn't live extravagantly, the Lord supplied every need and even more.
9. Everything we have comes in Jesus' name.
10. It pays to pray!
11. You're in God's hands, but in a way He's also in yours, He's at your command like the genie of Aladdin's Lamp! He says, "Command thou Me!" (Isa.45:11)
12. If you're God's employee, He is going to pay your salary.
13. If God fails to care for His own, He is worse than an infidel! (1Tim.5:8)
14. When you have a need, the first thing to remind yourself is that no matter where you are, God somehow has to and wants to supply "all your need according to His riches in glory."
15. Jobs and salaries fail, but Jesus never fails!
16. God will give you what you ask for and what you have the faith for!
17. I've very seldom found those of great faith in great need.
18. The Lord's got plenty of money--what He needs is you!
19. The richest people in the World in God's Kingdom are going to be those who share the most, and He will heap on them more than they can hold.
20. God will see to it that the poor are fed, even if He has to use the Communists to do it!
21. Outside of the power of God and His Word and the love of God and our fellow man, our greatest needs are usually "The Big Three"--"The 3Ms"!--Manpower, Materials, and Money!
22. The poor are always the greatest and most faithful supporters of God's work!
23. "Even if it be a barrel of meal that never wasteth and a cruse of oil that never runs dry, I shall refill and refill and refill, until, behold, the World could not contain what I am able to give unto thee!"
24. "It is not the field nor the market that limits My capacity to produce, but it is your lack of faith."
25. If God blesses you with money, don't trust in money, trust in God.
26. If the Lord isn't supporting it, then the Lord must not like it!
27. There's just no excuse for any servant of God not to have enough support. If you're pleasing God and doing the right thing, God will drop it out of the sky if He has to!
28. Good witnessing should pay! If you're obeying, God will be blessing you in some way and will take care of your needs.
29. "In My Father's house are many" what?--huts?--shanties?--shacks? No! In My Father's House are many mansions!
30. The harvest of material blessings is always great and plenteous if you'll just go out there and obey God and do His will and harvest.
31. Our economy is not dependent on a little bit of gold! It's dependent on the Lord and the Spirit and His children!
32. One of the earliest lessons you'll learn in God's work is that you must learn not only to give, but you must learn to receive!
33. You must not neglect the Word or you'll suffer for it! If you preach it He'll bless you!
34. You can't continue to be fattened on the Word yourself while you are starving the World! God warned us that if you withhold from them, He will withhold from you--in every way--including the Word!
35. He never fails! Just seek, knock and ask, and He'll help you find, open and get!
36. God had the first fast food service, hung right on the trees in the Garden of Eden.
37. God can give you money if He has to drop it from Heaven! He can even get the serial numbers right!
38. If He can trust you with it, he'll let you have it!
39. Your income ought to be increasing as you obey the Lord and serve Him and serve the World and serve the sinners by giving them the Gospel and going where God has guided.
40. As long as you preach the Gospel and you witness and you win souls, I know God is going to support you!--Even if He has to drop it out of the sky!
41. If you really depend on the Lord, He'll provide every need, protect you and keep you and use you and bless you and make you a tremendous blessing around the World to millions for His glory.
42. He never closes a door without opening up something else!
43. Provisioning is like singing!--You have to be inspired!
44. A provisioner is a man of prayer and faith!
45. Provisioning is a terrific testimony to the power of prayer and that the Lord loves us and wants to supply all our needs, as we specifically claim His promises and believe.
46. If you really need it, He's well able to supply it without your borrowing, stealing, cheating, defrauding or robbing others to get it! Pray it in! Pray for it, and if God doesn't supply, then it's not His will!
47. If God doesn't support it, whatever it is, then it shouldn't be done!
48. God has unlimited capacity to give, and what you get is only limited by your own capacity to receive.
49. Like Elijah and the brook, the Lord never dries up your source of supplies unless you're out of God's will or it's time to go.
50. God goes very strongly on the merit system as to who deserves it and who doesn't, not necessarily according to need.
51. God's not going to foot the bill for something He didn't buy or didn't order!
52. I've usually found that wherever God guides, He not only provides, but that He also provides in the direction He's guiding.
53. He's willing to let you have almost anything you want as long as you delight yourself in Him and put Him first!
54. God cannot only do it, but He wants to do it! He's more willing to give than you are to receive!
55. If you are unselfish and generous with your spiritual riches and share them with those that need them, He will also trust you with material riches.
56. You can't force results; it's God Who gives the increase.
57. As long as you do your best for Him, He'll do His best for you.
58. You never test the resources of God until you attempt the impossible.
59. God wants to teach you to ask and receive what He has for you.
60. God not only gives you everything you need but even everything you want, if you really please Him!
61. As you begin to obey and continue to obey, God will supply all the necessary needs--and more, and will bless you beyond measure for your faithfulness in fulfilling His Word!
62. God pays you for your work by meeting your needs.
63. The Lord always pays for His business, He supports it and keeps it going!
64. If a project is of the Lord, it ought to pay for itself!
65. God is not dependent on any single source of supply.
66. If He has to drop the money out of Heaven to feed you, He'll do it if you'll obey Him and get out the Message, the Word!
67. Where God guides He provides.
68. God never takes one thing away from you without giving you something better.
69. When you're down in all spheres and being blessed in almost none, something must be wrong!
70. God will not support any work He's not ordained!
71. Obey and try and He'll supply!
72. You'll never lack for oil or meal,
If you help God's prophet at his appeal.
73. Moses didn't pack a 40-day snack! (Ex.34:28)
74. If you take care of the prophet of God and His prophets and His missionaries, the Lord will take care of your barrel of meal so it'll not fail and your cruse of oil so it'll never run dry, like He did for the widow of Zarephath! (1Kg.17:14)
75. Work hard for the Lord and He'll work hard for you!
76. If you think I'm rich, you're right. My Father owns this house, He owns this country, in fact He owns the whole World! I'm especially rich in faith, which is the greatest riches of all!
77. Sure we're beggars! We're not ashamed to confess it! But every preacher in the World and ever priest and nearly every religionist of any kind of religion is a beggar, too!
78. The Bible exhorts you to beg! "Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you". (Mt.7:7)
79. If you're too proud to do a little begging, then you're too damn proud and your needs aren't going to be met! People are accustomed to religious outfits begging, and most people will give to the people who have the strongest appeal and the most desperate need.
80. Nothing is too good for God's servant, but if it ministers to your pride, you may not be able to handle it.
81. God has a window and He has promised that, if you obey Him and open the windows of your life upon others, He "will open the windows of Heaven and pour out such a blessing on you that there will not be room enough for you to hold it."
82. God's idea is not to share the poverty, but to share the wealth.
83. In all the years we've lived by faith we've never starved! We've eaten well.
84. God wants you to have enough, sufficient and even plenty and abundance.
85. God has promised us palaces and cities and countries and nations and kingdoms and the World!--Not a bunch of shanties and shacks in the dung heaps! He has told us if we'll get out and give the Message to the World, that He will give us the World and the heathen!
86. God's good guarantees are unconditional! The Lord will take care of us no matter what! He'll take care of His work, His workers and their support and their witness and their supplies and their tools and weapons and ammo and all the rest as long as they need it, as long as He wants to give the people a chance.
87. The Man and the Message and the men and the methods, the organisation, communication and tabulation and security!--Without good support, none of these can possibly succeed and they are doomed to failure!
88. If you want good material and financial support, you must be in close communication with the Lord Himself. You must be firmly implanted in the vine where you're receiving the juice and the sap and the nourishment that you need directly from the Lord Himself. And if you are staying and living close to the Lord in close fellowship and obedience to His Word, God will support you and see that you survive and take care of you and "supply all your need according to His riches in glory" if He has to drop it directly out of Heaven!
89. The poor don't have very much, but they give more sacrificially than the rich, and it is the poor who support the Lord's work.
90. If you are not eating, according to God's Law, the reason is because you are not working! It's just that simple! (2Th.3:10)
91. If you will work hard at it, you will get support, and if you are not being sufficiently supported, it is because you are not working!

And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.

And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people.

115. MAT.6:25,26 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air; For they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them, Are ye not much better than they?
116. MAT.6:30-33 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
