Provision
Supernatural provision is essential for end time safety. A lot of people are afraid of the end times because it would take a miracle to live through what the Bible is describing.
That is the point! God is orchestrating the end time events to give us a good reason to become pure and spotless and supernaturally minded! The end time need is going to drive end time faith, which will result in end time purity and spotlessness. That is what Paul taught:
Romans 5:1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
4and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
From hope springs faith, and from faith springs love. The process starts with trouble and our response to it. Right now, the vast majority of us have some sort of material trouble or anxiety... whether perceived or real. God wants us to overcome our situation, or our anxiety, supernaturally! Jesus supernaturally provided for himself and others many times. Today we are all choosing whether or not to grow in the reality of supernatural provision!
A lot of time we think of supernatural provision in the way of worship meetings where stuff appears. That really isn't it. That is just a small small part of a much bigger reality that requires a heart full of hope to walk into!
Supernatural provision is trusting God in a way that kills worry about money. Many people think they don't worry about money, yet they quarrel with others over a couple of bucks owed, worry about spending a couple extra dollars because it isnt the best bargain, or fight with their spouse over who gets to spend what.
One of the first evidences that you are committed to learning supernatural provision is that your trust and anxiety about "getting what you deserve" changes in a way that kills quarreling about money, especially between spouses. It kills the "look out for me first" attitude and makes someone really selfless about money and things.
Committing to learn supernatural provision begins to transfer our trust and our desires to a heavenly plane, where we don't really believe we need the stuff we used to need. Instead we start wrestling through wordly desire to get a better desire....one that is holy. God isnt trying to kill our desire for things, he is committed to change our desire to things that will last forever and are good for us. Faith for supernatural provision frees us from a lot of evil desire that divides the closest relationships.
Below is a key passage from James to apply right now. The Antichrist system sows division and uses money to do it. What we see unfolding in our country...the violence and even some of the racial tension...has a lot to do with desiring what other people have, instead of desiring what God has. Getting a more fair worldy distribution of stuff won't make us happy or satisfy us, whether it is in a family, a marriage, a church, a city, or a country. Getting heavenly stuff will satisfy us all forever!
James 4:1Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?
2You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
4Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
6But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
7Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
