More on this later in the program but now let's get started with today's teaching years, Allen Wright, Janelle, who is the symbol of idolatry and love of worship of Baal, who financed 450 prophets of Baal is the picture of everything that's gone wrong with the nation because Ahab the king of Israel had married this woman Jezebel. It's like a symbol of everything that's awful.

I'll know what you could imagine. Would you say is like go to go to sin city.

I will provide for you. There and so he travels to the epicenter of Baal worship and he is supposed to find this widow you know that in the ancient Middle Eastern culture.

The widow was considered the most vulnerable of all people is an intensely patriarchal society, and widow had no real way to take care of herself with this woman Hannah assigned they would not yet grown, so she only had to care for herself, but she had to care for the son, and not only was she a widow in a pagan land, but she was a poor widow. She won a widow that had an inheritance she had nothing and she is in a famine so she's down to nothing. She's got a little bit of flour little bit all and she is depressed to the point that she said I will gather a few sticks make a little far. Make one little cake of bread so my son I go ahead and die. See not just a widow. She's a widow that's a poor widow see not just the poor widow. She's a poor widow in Jezebel's Lansing not to the poor widow Jezebel plant. She's a poor widow in Jezebel's Lamb who is in a famine and she not just the poor widow who is in a famine in Jezebel's Lansing.

The poor widow who is in famine in Jezebel's lap and she is depressed and I soon got used to provide existing Jesus quotes this story in Luke chapter 4, after he read the scroll of Isaiah and he sat down and gave it to the tenant and he says today. The Scriptures been fulfilled in your hearing and first thereby was amazed at the words of Jesus. But then they said is this not Joseph son starts and is just a carpenter's boy and Jesus read their thoughts and said that was your quote to me, physician heal yourself is a truly I say to you know prophets acceptable in his hometown, but in truth I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months. A great family came over the land. Elijah was sent to. None of them but only does Arafat in the landside to a woman who was a widow was Jesus saying problem Pharisees is your minds away to closed God's can be outside your box. He will do things you never imagined. He's that good. That's when it's a one third think and that is that the the account that is told in first Kings 17 has a very clear theme to it and that is the word of the Lord. If you're looking in your Bible. Chapter 17. Just let your eyes fall upon these at verse one, except by my word is the prophetic word of the Lord and then verse two and the word of the Lord came to him and then verse four I have commanded the ravens in verse five so he went and did according to the word of the Lord. Verse eight in the word of the Lord came to him verse nine.

I have commanded a widow. Verse 14 for thus says the Lord. And then verse 15 went and did as Elijah said, and in verse 16. The juggle neither did the juggle become empty. According to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah. This isn't really a story about ravens or Brooks or widows or flour or this is a story about the word of the Lord over and over and over. The word of the Lord. Here is Elijah in a wilderness hungry and thirsty and the word of the Lord provides so it makes me think of a time that Jesus was in a wilderness hungry and thirsty.

Matthew chapter 4 Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil and after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, he was hungry and the tempter came and said to him, if you are the son of God command these stones to become loaves of bread, but he answered it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God when he said it is written, he was referencing Deuteronomy chapter 8 where at verse two. The word of the Lord says you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these 40 years in the wilderness that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you keep his commandments are not and he humbled you and let you hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

So Jesus is in a wilderness like Elijah was, and he is tempted to quickly turn the stones into bread so that he wouldn't hunger anymore. And Jesus fights off the tempter by quoting Deuteronomy which references when the people of God were in the wilderness, and God let them experience wilderness. But while they were in it he provided manna every morning a flaky brand like substance that would sustain them, and so all of this is pointing to some huge gospel realities for us. What would be the big deal if Jesus just turn the stones into bread.

I mean he could do that easily and and and satisfy his his hunger. What's the big deal that he's been tempted to what Jesus is being tempted to deny his humanity and to deny human suffering and did not human hunger. The temptation was says you're the son of God. You don't need to experience things in human beings experience but see the whole mission of God in Jesus Christ depended on Jesus being willing to be obedient even in times of suffering, so that he would become obedient under suffering, the death of the cross. So in other words, if Jesus was not willing to be human. They couldn't be the human representative he couldn't pay the price for humanity, and we wouldn't be saying so if he turns stones to bread if he said I'm not going to follow the path of the mission that is set before me because it's difficult and I'm hungry. If PCP did that then we would all be lost and so the temptation of Jesus was to accept his divinity, but deny his humanity so that he would not be a substitutionary atonement for you and for me and say Elijah was in the middle of a famine that remember he had prayed this famine into being and don't you know that he had told Ahab because he been authorized by God. The family will end when I get my word so don't you know Elijah was tempted as soon as he got hungry just say this whole famine thing is no good and just call on the rain, but instead he endured the hunger and relied on the supernatural provision of the Lord, because God might lead his people hunger, but he provide not by what you see with your eyes.

We live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

You see that this is a Wasi Brad the oil though the flower is not the provision is the manifestation of the provision.

The provision is the word of the Lord God is the provider and the provision is his word when he says, let there be like there's going to be like the lights, the manifestation of the promise. But the promise is the thing you live on, you live on the promises of God do we need the physical yes we do. We need daily food. Yes, we do what God is saying ties is you can get this revelation down your spirit.

Pastor Alan.like today's teaching now continues your once again is Alan Wright now.

Daughter is a freshman in college and paid pay the tuition and or will you she she knew I wanted to bless her to go to college.

We look together all the school season because she got names say the money that goes from my account into the accounts University North Carolina sheet. I'm thinking about that because the father is the provider and the word is the provision the rest of us just detail. That's who God is. He's the provider and his promises are the provision in Jesus Christ.

John said, is the word of God who became flesh and every promise is yes and amen in Jesus feed.

Therefore, on Jesus feed on his grace can take a miracle story of love, our time, Elijah tells a miracle for this is when the most delightful miraculous provision stories dear friends of ours Ron and Sandra block live in Tennessee and Ron is a world wide known musician multiple Grammy winner and Sandra tells a story that will make you smile and blow your mind. She did the sequence of the details of this I are very important. I want to get this this right because it began like this years ago Rhonda Sandra put some new floors in their house and when they did they had to get everything off the floor so they took everything on the floor and I load a bunch of been.

And then they put those bends in various places and as anybody who's ever moved knows.

Sometimes the bins and boxes don't get unloaded and if you don't unload them pretty soon they can sit there for years and then you don't even notice anymore that that sitting there and you have no idea what's in the bed this it happened sometime after years after this, the new floors were in their dog died beloved family pet and it was a traumatic and painful thing and their daughter is a wonderful animal lover and in absence of the dog. She began to beg that they could raise chickens.

They live out can honor ranchers on the and you always want to get some little chicks and raise them and Sandra always said are you kidding no way but in the grief of missing their dog, she relented and said okay will get some chickens so this is important to the story they got 10 checks in the checks lived in no little shoeboxes initially when sometime after this, the mother was thinking about their son Ethan who was going to be graduating from being homeschooled and she does want to have a big celebration a big graduation party and and and spare no expense for have a big deal about this because you been homeschooling graduate if you want to make big deal out of it so she's thinking about making a special and memorable, but is not cost a good bit of money while around that time, Sandra's sister called from Canada where she lived with her husband, and I think for kids and she said much the Sandra's delight, that she wanted to come and visit and that they want to come and visit for about two weeks.

Will Sandra was ecstatic to love her so she could wait to see them and that she started thinking about where I have no these five or six people come live with us for couple weeks and I want to treat them well in I would have plenty of food I want to do nice things with them. So she started thinking about not only Ethan's graduations will cost money but is no cost money to post this might my dear family for a couple weeks and that's really expensive to get to expenses that she's thinking about well same time. Wonderful elderly friend that they had befriended for many years woman he didn't have very much else, you poor, but never in all their friendship had this lady.

I'll call her Bessie had she ever asked anything of Rhonda Sandra. But right here in the same time Bessie called and said she was going through a very difficult time. Could Sandra and Ron could they help her financially and without even thinking. Sandra said yes of course. And then she realized I'm trying to arrange a big home school graduates and I'm get ready to host my sister family for a couple weeks and now I got 1/3 expense here that I have not prepared for. Meanwhile the chickens are grown they been in a shoebox they been transitioned to a bigger cardboard box.

They outgrown their box and they had to have a new place to live and looking around the house. Sandra Saul is been is it not be a perfect place for the chickens thing that's in there for years. The one what's in. So she starts unloading the been, and it was a walk down memory lane as she was unloading as she came across a little box and it was a little box that used to sit on the babies change in type. Many, many, many years earlier, and on top of the box.

Remember three things on her mind. Graduation first on and host her sister and and Bessie and on top of the little box she said was a a photo of Ethan when he was little and now he was graduated and she just thought about Ethan thought about the graduation and she opened up the little box and inside was a piece of cardboard and it had attached to it a precious gift that she forgotten her sister had given her years before they were pins little awards that her sister had received because she was on a champion Canadian curling team.

You know that kinda shuffleboard on ice thing in the Olympics. She was very good at that and instead of getting metals you got pins and she taken her pants put them onto some cardboard given it to Sandra and Sandra years ago tucked in the little box so there is anything on the cover of the box and then her sister who did write a comment I need to provide for is the next thing that symbolizes she's warmed by that she picked up that piece of cardboard and underneath the cardboard where the pins were. She looked, and there was a picture of Bessie. She didn't know she had a picture Bessie so there were all three of them. All three of the ones that she wanted to help Blass and provide for in some way and was wondering how we don't do all this it one time and this is Sandra, our dear friends, so you and I'm tired. Tell your first name from Sandra's mouth.

She said she picked up the picture of Bessie and she looked underneath and 1/4 where there is not one, not two, not three but $4000 in cash. No early idea. Why was there.

Ron had some vague memory of many many years. Both were maybe have a some music didn't get paid in cash and decision on what might be a good idea to stick some cash around the house and Sandra said they had a great graduation party hosted her sister's family did all kind of fun things were to we and they gave a nice financial gift of Bessie and had plenty still to enjoy for themselves. My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 419 I am the Lord your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. Saul, 81 for the Lord God is a son and a shield. The Lord bestows favor and honor no good thing does he withhold from those who walk up rightly. Psalm 8411. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you, he who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. The young lion suffering want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord, lack no good thing. Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body are what you put on his life, not more than food and the body not more than clothing. Look at the birds of the air, the new so to read together in the barn near heavenly father feeds them. God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times. You may abound in every good work will provide and that the guy Alan Wright in certainly good news for today from our teaching God's man for life. And this is from the series miracle man.
