The Israelites did not have direct access to God. It was necessary for them to approach
Him through their sacrifices and gifts which were offered by the priests. Now, in our new
covenant relationship, we have direct access to the Father. Whatever you need to
accomplish the task He has given to you, God will provide it. Jesus said: "Whatsoever
ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you ...ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full" (John 16:23-24). He also declared:
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a
fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good
gifts to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7:9-11, NIV).
Did you note those words "how much more"? Apply this phrase personally:
-How much more will your Heavenly Father supply your needs!
-How much more will your Heavenly Father prosper you!
-How much more will your Heavenly Father use you to extend the Kingdom!
God wants to bring you out of spiritual and financial bondage into a new position of
strength where you are looking to Him as your source and depending upon His divine
provision to accomplish supernatural purposes.
Before you can fulfill God's purposes in this end-time spiritual harvest, you must have a
breakthrough where you are no longer depending upon your own limited abilities, but
you are looking to God for His supernatural provision. You must stop focusing on your
resources and your selfish desires and place your focus on His Kingdom.
When Jesus first commissioned His disciples and sent them out on an evangelistic
campaign to preach the Gospel, He sent them without money or food. He told them,
"Take nothing for the journey-no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic" (Luke
9:3, NIV). Why did Jesus send His disciples out with nothing? He did this so they would
learn to depend upon God's supernatural provision. He did not want them to trust in their
own limited resources, but to learn how to to draw from God's unlimited reservoir. As
they went from city to city, God supernaturally provided their needs. There was divine
sufficiency and they did not lack anything. Later, Jesus asked them, "When I sent you out
with no purse or (provision) bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" They answered,
"Nothing!" (Luke 22:35, AMP).
Jesus sent the disciples out with nothing, yet they lacked nothing. That is truly divine
provision! You may have nothing in the natural world, but you will lack nothing that you
need to accomplish God's mandates.
