Let IT Work

Agricultural Bible called Dr. Tony Evans is too often reaping turns into keeping you this is the alternative only offer speaker, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas and president of the urban alternative today.ribbons talked about the importance of being a conduit of blessing as he explains how God meets needs, when we plant seeds. Let's join them. Luke 638 twice will be given to you into your lap. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, for by your staff and measure it will be measured to again be given to you into your lap.

A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, measure will be measured to you in return.

Let's make sure we understand principle. You can only 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 saying and you only have one source that one source is God, you have many resources or channels through which God can do whatever he wants to get you as your only source shall make something dependent on that thing Bible and I think on that thing and maybe even bow but it was not you, because you will never look into it as your ultimate solution in the first place. The grocery store that you eat your food out of your food from your source merely through which you can get something they don't grow the food in the school's it's just a transfer from where it came from so we can get to you. Go to another grocery store grocery store is not what the source. In the first place. It was really a transfer of the job is not your job is important but it's really through which to work in order to receive income in order to live and pay your bill, but is not just let see if your job is when you lose your job, think about having God's only God can amaze nobody else can hold nobody else can be the ultimate control over you in the first place. That's why God calls us to fully depend on him as our source because they can switch resources on a dime. Give and see and will be given to you so let me tell you about what is what you want legitimately from God. Given what is that you legitimately want on leave from God. Given that he wants something from God, but given the different brothers and sisters, so you give them something first received the same when God created the theology of it. When God created way back in the book of Genesis. Here is what God said in Genesis chapter 1 verse 12 he said this brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and bearing fruit with seed in them. And God saw that it was his works. What God created the city what ever it was the seed of so apples have seen see watermelon seeds to them. The reproduction what God did when he created all different fruit is he plant them in their future that could be replicated. You cannot plan a and C.

You can't plan up the melons. So what is that you plan.

That is what you call the same so the way God wants to create life to work what you want to reproduce, use, that was in itself so you would see from what you replicated what was a principle of creation. Luke 638 broadens the principle of life and yet refers to the thing you get whatever it is given because God responds to the game. What you see, make sure you so whatever it is you need me to make the need without making sure you plan the scene when they are not willing and then wonder why the F, Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown is Tim Akers, Brown, 17 the Sheila fruits and vegetables, Brown is so committed to God that Brown stands always to makers and he prays every single day God gone.

I want you to bless my father I need rain from heaven. I need sunshine I need not inclement weather so I can have a great harvest. God I need you to bless my thought… I am so serious about what I need you to bless my 10 acres I am so committed. I'm going to fast. I'm going to go to church. I'm going to serve in much I really commit to pray for you every day you bless my 10 acres. We would say, Brown is very serious about meeting would you say when you found out that father Brown, pray, Brown, Brown studied the Bible, but never plant. I would like to suggest to you, Brown wasted, because he wanted to God to meet at me with in the way God has structured it. Genesis 112 production the future what God is going to do is not just me it's tied to the location of the God require that the sea be placed in the ground know what God's sake.

This fee must be planted in the ground because God created the ground to receive the sea salt that always know this loss would come from the ground that God created and the dependency but it was not me that could be all would be met with how to see. I want to teach you the same principle applies to houses and lands since children he says family will hold a bunch of things that the same principle give an plant and it then you on how God wants to meet your needs. Assuming you're willing to do something with you sleep. No, keeps everything he produces because of everything he produces, he will never reproduce because this filter is built-in to the that he produced the same think about this principle when his legitimately use not illegitimately used with material takes place of the spiritual, but where is legitimate coming out of a heart that's committed to the source. God is the giver began to observe in Scripture. For example, the widow of Sarah, the widow of Sarah Bernstein 17 was running out of food. She was down to her last meal shall make one bread cake (her son and then she would be out of food and they would stop and I she cries out to God for help because she has a need to share the need for food because we got make Brad for take. I know you got me when I will plant a seed. I want you to make Brad take you to shoot God by giving she gave today and he thinks maybe she needed to food when she, the Bible says and got him.

In other words, when she gave it she came back again when she made. She knew Dave flowed God because the sea group. This is a principal. Make sure what it is you plant the seed, you must give God something to work with.

That's called faith is acting like God is telling the truth is not feeling it's a function. What you plan so when you come to God with me. He's like what are you planning that you want me to grow that you want me to develop.

It's like having a seminary on your smart phone or other device children 20 to 25,000 people listening to Jesus preach Jesus asked his disciples, calling people, but I don't food what did Jesus say the little boy gives the Saudis and crackers to fish hello to Jesus Christ and the Bible says Jesus gave grace over findings and crackers when you got 20,000 people that would sound like a waste of time not seen Bill C is the need.

So when Jay is blasphemous to fish hello now laying on the beach and 20 people and make them know they got seconds with one of the sea sufficient, but when it was a blast by God to apply the problem today is one God to me when they're unwilling to plan, which means I don't identify on their motivation is wrong and has no connection to the glory of God.

The gospel of the kingdom.

So we don't see all that God can't do legitimately. The prosperity theology where it stopped. Say I'm talking about that which responds to God as the source so that he may need because he sees the PC that that was that in that little C would be our future growth and the Bible says talking to believers if you want to be forgiven. The April giver. So if you need to be forgiven, but now that the planning of the sea plant the seed for the love plant José what Sinead relationship plan for the needs you have only met you looking to be returned to you show up one day all God chooses to use to meet your need is… Over here meters… This is my main request, where is your see what have you planted to demonstrate your faith in me. Give me something to cultivate. This if you have a plan C, so that God can do something for your life not right pays interest unless it's something was my interest in the bank. You got a plan C.

The chips are in this glass there available for purchase will just drop down just drop you just push the button is drop you gotta plant a financial seed you put some money in the because you need to press the button. Whatever the number is to get your chips chips fall down. You planted the seed because you need to have an issue. The bag is half full project you in yellow lead you chips so a bill of goods or have a bag of chips that ain't all that you price. Let not press now shaken together all running. God says yes it does come with persecution is not all just one big blessing. It is no trouble that a false premise of prosperity as well. But there is a legitimate side and that is why God did you think you never heard of people you never met situations you never thought about to bring him around, but he definitely need this message has disturbed because what you was so God can show me you wouldn't do this again. Nancy seen this just briefly preach about the truth. God check on this and not sowing and reaping in the New Testament is a verse for you struggling with this we can come to shame. In the verses. Psalm 126 or six convinced that those who sow in tears because I know for me crying right now.

Those who sow in tears.

I'm scared.

I'm scared and scared so into you cry God want to love this person want to forgive this person. I don't want to do this. I want to do that. But because this is the principal I will show well and cry. He says those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
