Dr. tuning evidences when it comes to our spiritual lives.

The same lines see something.

This is the alternative, 20 Acre speaker Pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Texas and president of the urban alternative. The Bible says we reap what we sow. Dr. Evan says that principle doesn't work in our favor. If we skip a step. Let's join him as he explains little sex twice will be given to you into your lap is your press down, shaken together and running over for by measure. It will be measured to you in return again and you will be given to you into your lap.

A good measure, pressed down, shaken together by measure will be measured to you in return you will give something if you have don't have it you can give.

It happens to be. Which brings me to a foundational understanding that we said many times, which is key to everything.

I'm getting ready to say you only have one source one source is God, you have many resources through which God can do whatever he wants to get you your only source shall something depend on nothing Bible and I think that maybe even bow but it was not you, because you will never look into it solution in the first place. Now look at what is says and it will be given to you will say they question I view it whatever it is that I'm needing to be given back. I give it show up one day all God chooses to use to meet your need over here meters is called upon for three planters to respond to you when God you plant the seed but you made the story when we were put out of the school. School members of the Dallas seminary in one of the past by me. It was a casual pass by and he had heard only we had only a couple months left in school and he just motioned walking on the campus. He said Faith Bible Church only when Kant was removed to Desoto and is looking to sell conversation led to a meeting with the pastor. The pastor led to $200,000 miracle got a little A-frame building that was always out here with grass and trees got little A-frame building, which is where the ministry got his first permanent location because God is leading me in the as we planted the seed main where is your seed planted in me to get me something to cultivate is what he says in verse 38 Jesus talking disciples is preparing them for the church age and he says will good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running the Texas think about coaching thinking about grain it went to the store is primitive and terminology store in the days and you said one measure of grain type of drainage wanted to call or write whatever you gave an amount that's called the measure measuring cups at home. That's the measure that you want. So measures come in different sizes so you say I want a measure of righteousness is the price what they would do in the measuring pot that was commensurate with the amount you wanted, so they would pour the rice soon and then they would shake shake the person selling rice shaking now really shakes it is because he puts in the New Testament think they put in what you ordered for you on a certain amount that would then put in three forms of that amount. They just put in three force shake. Now the real shock in the gaps they wanted to fill in the gaps in the ring that I wanted to. Gaps wants to make sure all spaces have been filled that with no doublecreating for more rice so they would shake it to fill in in creating more room rice so shaken together, pressed down grain would take his hands and put it on create rice and shaken together to fill in the space to give you more space you was wrong with running because you create will see you may be based on that you create when you want to get one when planted in what you looking for you spiritually want from God. I am a member in the first service company service, great statement.

She says I have been I have something I want from God.

How do I get it. So what she says it is to get close and I'm struggling with getting close as interesting as you think about stuff. Okay, nothing wrong, but she was to get closer to God. I'm struggling with that and ask God to make me closer to him.

I'm getting the get it.

I told her okay I want you to help somebody else get closer to God. You will one thing for you and may God brings along closer to what you and will be returned to you shaken down that will be one because it spiritually based on not just doing. I'm trying into my relationship but at the same time. It deals with a principal of what went on saying more about. We want to leave when I was in God hasn't built creation wants to be blessed and want to walk with God commitment God's relationship with God, for God's word press – running is one thing is totally different. Dr. Evans will impact this important principle for us when he returns just a moment with living a life of block ghetto deadline for the struggle is your daily reality.

Right now, here's Dr. Evans with more of today's lesson brings the point home measure, it will be measured to you in return by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you in return. This if you want the need to plant the seed if you want me plant the seed needed legitimate plant the seeds in the quote traversed by love this verse is Philippians 419, my God, show me all of your knee. According to his riches in glory in Christ, my God shall meet all your needs according to his glory in Christ Jesus promise, mutually great promise no Philippians 419, who have not read 417 90. If you read two verses because you God shall supply you because you need if you weigh agricultural Bible called so you know so planted anything to produce. God told Israel in 2419 don't see only those with a pool of for me and for the window and then in verse 19 he tells what he says because when you vote Lord will bless you and miss another blessing to you. It is also what God knows.

He's free to do through you. God bless you and you all the nations of the more blessed to give than to receive. God knows he can flow flowing to know what you do is you go you interested in continuing we can flow through God, you will use it to be because now you have interest you know you going to be a blessing and not just one. If you have plan C so that God can do something for all your life. No interest was my interest in vending machine vending machine so you go to certain places, people, and possibly paint chips. For example now. The chips are in this glass be available for purchase.

Just drop down just drop you just push the button is you gotta plant a financial seed you put money in the because you need you press the button. Whatever the number is to get your chips chips fall down you plan C because you need to issue the bag is half full yellow lead you will have a bag of chips and to price. Now, shaken together and running. God says persecution is not all just one big blessing and is no trouble.

But there is a legitimate side and that is why God never heard of people you never met situations you never thought about to bring him around, but this message has disturbed so God can show me you wouldn't have seen this just briefly preach about the truth.

God is not sowing and reaping in the New Testament struggling with this in the verses.

Psalm 126 verse six company for those who sowing. You crying right now. Those who sow in tears.

I'm scared. I want to love this person forgive this person want to do this.

I want to do that. But because this is the principal also uses those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. You may be sad on the front in which you will be glad on the back. You may be sad right now but if you will be going with so plan C so God the knee. So you can have our own about me that you because I sort produce more than I ever expected a repeat this before but it's so pertinent now. In closing this lost in the desert over hundred and 20°. He was emaciated dying of thirst. Didn't know if he could make and then he saw in the distance a little shack. He went to the shack and over hold for well how fortunate can this be, I'm dying of thirst is well above the little platform with a glass of water assigned underneath the glass and use the water to crime. The pump so that the pump can give you ongoing water and when you are finished.

Fill the glass with water for the next person who comes this way Of the instruction, but the man was on the horns of the dilemma water well and put them now. I have no I drink the glass.

I got a glass of water that will hold me for a while so he had to take the risk of taking this one for a moment, the instructions of the word that had been written using for more water than he could ever drink if it worked, so he's on the horns of satisfying himself with what he can see what does he take the risk for what he cannot see does not know will work, he decided to do a faith that he could flush to the gamut – – did you get to drink all the water for as long to be rescued.
