GOD IS OUR PROVIDER 11-22-24 VIDEO GOD IS YOUR PROVIDER 2

He provides me with everything I need. He is steadfast, dependable, and kind. He sticks by us through all of our ups and downs! He’s the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Jehovah Jireh means the God who sees ahead and He is the provider. My vision, the one I see. God sees what is coming and he knows what we need. Ask Him for help He knows the future. God gave the best gift ever. He provided us with the Savior, a Deliver, and Eternal life. All we could ever need is in Jesus.

Gen 22:11 Just then an angel of God called to him out of Heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I’m listening.”

12 “Don’t lay a hand on that boy! Don’t touch him! Now I know how fearlessly you fear God; you didn’t hesitate to place your son, your dear son, on the altar for me.”

13 Abraham looked up. He saw a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 Abraham named that place God-Yireh (God-Sees-to-It). That’s where we get the saying, “On the mountain of God, he sees to it.”

15 The angel of God spoke from Heaven a second time to Abraham:

16 “I swear — God’s sure word! — because you have gone through with this, and have not refused to give me your son, your dear, dear son,

17 I’ll bless you — oh, how I’ll bless you! And I’ll make sure that your children flourish — like stars in the sky! like sand on the beaches! And your descendants will defeat their enemies.

18 All nations on Earth will find themselves blessed through your descendants because you obeyed me.”  MSG

2 Kings 4:42 One day a man arrived from Baal Shalishah. He brought the man of God twenty loaves of fresh baked bread from the early harvest, along with a few apples from the orchard. Elisha said, “Pass it around to the people to eat.”

43 His servant said, “For a hundred men? There’s not nearly enough!” Elisha said, “Just go ahead and do it. God says there’s plenty.”

44 And sure enough, there was. He passed around what he had — they not only ate, but had leftovers. MSG

Heb 13:7 Remember your leaders and superiors in authority [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God.

14 Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will most certainly bring back to life those who died in Jesus.

15 And then this: We can tell you with complete confidence — we have the Master’s word on it — that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact, they’ll be ahead of us.

16 The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God’s trumpet blast! He’ll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise — they’ll go first.

17 Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master.

Phil 1:23 For living to me means simply “Christ”, and if I die I should merely gain more of him. I realise, of course, that the work which I have started may make it necessary for me to go on living in this world, I should find it very hard to make a choice. I am torn in two directions – on the one hand I long to leave this world and live with Christ, and that is obviously the best thing for me.  PHILLIPS

Phil 3:20 But there’s far more to life for us. We’re citizens of high heaven! We’re waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ,

2 Cor 5:1 We know, for instance, that if our earthly dwelling were taken down, like a tent, we have a permanent house in Heaven, made, not by man, but by God. In this present frame we sigh with deep longing for the heavenly house, for we do not want to face utter nakedness when death destroys our present dwelling – these bodies of ours. So long as we are clothed in this temporary dwelling we have a painful longing, not because we want just to get rid of these “clothes” but because we want to know the full cover of the permanent house that will be ours. We want our transitory life to be absorbed into the life that is eternal.

▼

5 We are not complaining about our bodies, even though we are often aware of its frailty; instead we yearn to be overwhelmed with life. We know that every evidence of death, even in our bodies, will dissolve into life!

6 God wired us this way; His Spirit already confirms within us the present evidence of eternity. We are eternal beings by design.  MSG

1 Cor 15:38 But perhaps someone will ask, “How is the resurrection achieved? With what sort of body do the dead arrive?” Now that is talking without using your minds! In your own experience you know that a seed does not germinate without itself “dying”. When you sow a seed you do not sow the “body” that will eventually be produced, but bare grain, of wheat, for example, or one of the other seeds. God gives the seed a “body” according to his laws – a different “body” to each kind of seed. PHILLIPS

1 COR 15:35 There might be many skeptics who would say, “How are the dead raised and what does the resurrected body look like?”

36 Think about it this way, a seed that is sown has to first die before it lives again.

37 And the plant that grows from the seed does not even resemble the grain that was sown. If you only know what wheat looks like in its seed form you might not be able to recognize the plant.

38 God has designed a unique body for every plant species.

39 The human body differs from the bodies of animals and so do the bodies of fish and birds differ from all other bodies.

40 There are celestial bodies as well as terrestrial bodies. The glory of the one differs from the other. There are skin-bodies and spirit-bodies.

41 The glory of the sun differs from the glory of the moon; [while the one radiates light, the other reflects light.] Also the stars differ from one another. Each one occupies its own unique place in space.

42 So also with the resurrection from the dead, the body that was sown into the earth decays, but the risen person is immortal.

43 It is sown in sadness but raised in honor; it is sown in frailty but raised in power.

44 It is sown as a physical body and raised as a spiritual body. The fact that there is a physical body confirms that there is also a spiritual body.

45 It is recorded in Scripture how the first Adam became a living soul; the last Adam is a life radiating spirit.

46 Physical life is the platform for spiritual life.

47 Human life was reduced to slavery and the soul-ruled earthly realm through Adam’s fall but is now awakened to lordship in the heavenly realm of spiritual realities through the knowledge of our co-resurrection with Christ.  

48 The reduced state of the individual left its mark on mankind as being earthly; now the redeemed state of mankind confirms their origin in God and marks their new heavenly life.

49 Just as we were once defined by the flesh [our earthly image] we are now defined by our spirit [our heavenly] image.

50 Flesh and blood has a sell-by date; the bodies you live in now will not last forever.

51 Ponder this mystery, I want to show you something that you have never seen before: everyone will be awakened out of sleep; we will all experience exactly the same change.  

Rev 7:15 That’s why they’re standing before God’s Throne. They serve him day and night in his Temple. The One on the Throne will pitch his tent there for them: 16 no more hunger, no more thirst, no more scorching heat.

17 The Lamb on the Throne will shepherd them, will lead them to spring waters of Life. And God will wipe every last tear from their eyes.”  MSG

Rev 21:4  He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good — tears gone, crying gone, pain gone — all the first order of things gone.”  MSG

TO BE CROWNED BY CHRIST 11-17-24 VIDEO QUEEN CROWNED

The earth sometimes seems to be a place of chaos and disorder. But God, the Father has reserved crowns to be given to all of His children to recognize them as His possessions for all eternity. Jesus took upon himself the crown of thorns so we could receive the crown of life. We are crowned with Eden’s bright light because Jesus experience death for us. We are crowned much higher than angels. The crowns are to be received. They represent our position as kings. We are royalty. CROWN- Symbolic of a victory, kingly authority, position, and power. Its placement on one’s head indicated that one was set apart for a particular task or calling. In the case of the king it also reflected his exalted position. It indicated the presence of honor.

I command my servants and they’ll do whatever I ask. So I know that all you need to do is to stand here and command healing over my son and he will be instantly healed.”
