WEBVTT 00:00:00.541 --> 00:00:05.799 Lift your Bible up, wave it around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad. 00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:11.148 Let's say this together say Heavenly Father, I am so glad for the Word of God. 00:00:11.148 --> 00:00:21.794 The fact of the matter is, when I read the Word, I get thrilled because I know that this is God speaking to me. 00:00:21.794 --> 00:00:45.159 And tonight the Word of God has got value for my life, where I am, the situations that I'm facing, and I'm listening with all of my heart for your instructions, father, so that I can be a doer of the Word and have the victory in Jesus' name, amen. 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:55.039 Let's look at Genesis, the 17th chapter, and while you're turning there, also find Galatians, the third chapter. 00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:03.000 We're starting in Genesis first, genesis 17, verse one. 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:14.608 And when Abram was 90 years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram and said unto him I am the Almighty God. 00:01:14.608 --> 00:01:17.968 Walk before me and be thou perfect. 00:01:17.968 --> 00:01:22.691 Or one version says be blameless. 00:01:22.691 --> 00:01:24.668 In other words, be blameless in the covenant. 00:01:24.668 --> 00:01:34.390 Walk before me and be blameless in the covenant, and I will make my covenant between me and thee and will multiply thee exceedingly. 00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:50.525 And then in Galatians, chapter three, verse 26, paul is writing to us and he says for you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 00:01:50.525 --> 00:01:54.719 For as many of you has it been baptized into Christ? 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.587 Have put on Christ. 00:01:56.587 --> 00:02:00.519 There is neither Jew nor Greek. 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:22.367 There is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus, and if you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise, heirs, we're all heirs. 00:02:23.139 --> 00:02:28.144 So tonight I just wanted to preach a message on El Shaddai. 00:02:28.144 --> 00:02:37.973 You know, god revealed himself to Abraham or Abram at that time, and he said I am almighty God. 00:02:37.973 --> 00:02:45.221 I am El Shaddai, the almighty, the God who is more than enough. 00:02:45.221 --> 00:02:52.439 Another meaning of that word is that he is the overcoming God. 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.772 Nothing can stand up against his power. 00:02:54.772 --> 00:03:04.025 For instance, you know Abram, you're 99 and your wife has got a barren womb, but that can't stand up against my word. 00:03:04.025 --> 00:03:06.234 That you know. 00:03:06.234 --> 00:03:09.025 My word is all you need to overcome that situation. 00:03:09.025 --> 00:03:16.004 And then another aspect of that El Shaddai. 00:03:16.004 --> 00:03:19.014 The Hebrew word Shad means breast. 00:03:19.014 --> 00:03:20.992 I'm the almighty, breasty one. 00:03:20.992 --> 00:03:23.394 I have an unlimited supply for you. 00:03:23.394 --> 00:03:27.953 Praise God, he's got all the supply. 00:03:27.953 --> 00:03:29.431 He's more than enough for us. 00:03:29.431 --> 00:03:32.044 And so what did he tell him? 00:03:32.044 --> 00:03:35.253 He said I will multiply the exceedingly. 00:03:35.253 --> 00:03:50.252 And so he began to talk to him about his covenant, and he changed his name to Abraham, which means father of many nations. 00:03:50.252 --> 00:03:57.025 And so well, yeah, pastor, that was El Shaddai to him. 00:03:57.025 --> 00:04:00.731 Well, yeah, but we're the seed of Abraham through faith in Christ Jesus. 00:04:00.731 --> 00:04:08.025 So he's El Shaddai to you and I, he's our El Shaddai and we're heirs according to the promise. 00:04:09.151 --> 00:04:11.044 I just think about all the places in the Bible. 00:04:11.044 --> 00:04:12.289 I'm just going to name a few of them. 00:04:12.289 --> 00:04:15.044 How about my cup running over, Psalm 23.5? 00:04:15.044 --> 00:04:21.250 He's the overflowing cup, god, he didn't just fill the cup, he overflows, he just overflows it. 00:04:21.250 --> 00:04:33.836 And then, I think, in John, chapter seven, jesus said you know, if any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink, and out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water, rivers, rivers. 00:04:33.836 --> 00:04:38.514 He floods us with rivers, not just a trickle, not just a well. 00:04:38.514 --> 00:04:43.975 The well of life is talking about our salvation. 00:04:43.975 --> 00:04:48.692 But the rivers of living water is what we have with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, is unlimited supply. 00:04:48.692 --> 00:04:52.432 Think about Luke 638. 00:04:52.432 --> 00:04:54.932 He says you know, giving it shall be given unto thee. 00:04:54.932 --> 00:04:59.213 Good measure, pressed down, shaking together, running over, running over. 00:04:59.213 --> 00:05:06.002 He's the running over return that God can move on, man to give us. 00:05:06.002 --> 00:05:08.790 See, it comes from man, the running over comes from man. 00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:12.045 I said the running over comes from man. 00:05:12.045 --> 00:05:12.886 Why? 00:05:12.886 --> 00:05:17.514 Because God is able to bring that kind of power to bear. 00:05:17.514 --> 00:05:22.112 Think about Malachi 310,. 00:05:22.112 --> 00:05:29.983 You know all tithers, you know he opens up the windows of heaven and pours us out a blessing that's not room enough to receive. 00:05:29.983 --> 00:05:33.673 See, that's overflow, that's more than enough. 00:05:33.673 --> 00:05:36.045 That's more than enough. 00:05:36.045 --> 00:05:37.829 And the word blessing there. 00:05:37.910 --> 00:05:46.045 I went out to see brother, brother Oral Roberts, and he gave me the teaching about ideas, concepts and insights. 00:05:46.045 --> 00:05:51.045 See, it's not talking about money, because there's no money in heaven for God to reign out of heaven. 00:05:51.045 --> 00:05:52.851 There's no money up there. 00:05:52.851 --> 00:05:55.915 So when he opens up the windows of heaven, what does he give us? 00:05:55.915 --> 00:06:01.045 He gives us all the ideas, the concepts and insights to know where provision is on the earth. 00:06:01.045 --> 00:06:06.045 You know the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. 00:06:06.045 --> 00:06:11.718 So if we have a need anywhere, El Shaddai can supply that. 00:06:11.718 --> 00:06:13.290 He can tell us where it is. 00:06:13.290 --> 00:06:21.654 He told Jesus where the fish was with a gold coin in his mouth, and Peter went and found it, paid his taxes and Peter's taxes. 00:06:21.654 --> 00:06:28.458 So you look at this wonderful testimony. 00:06:29.665 --> 00:06:34.697 And when was it that God revealed himself as the God, who is more than enough. 00:06:34.697 --> 00:06:39.916 Well, it happened when Abram was just about run out of faith. 00:06:39.916 --> 00:06:40.827 He's 99,. 00:06:40.827 --> 00:06:41.891 His wife is 90. 00:06:41.891 --> 00:06:46.687 He's unable to father a child, she's unable to bear a child, her womb is dead. 00:06:46.687 --> 00:06:56.990 And so he said, you know, he said, walk before me and be thou perfect, be thou blameless. 00:06:56.990 --> 00:07:00.552 And he's talking about being blameless in the covenant. 00:07:00.552 --> 00:07:03.512 In other words, the covenant has two sides. 00:07:03.512 --> 00:07:10.060 God cut the covenant with Abram, and so Abram has a side and God has a side. 00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:14.793 And so he said walk before me and be thou blameless in the covenant. 00:07:14.793 --> 00:07:24.485 And then he reminded him previously of the covenant that he had already talked to him about. 00:07:24.485 --> 00:07:26.975 He said in Genesis 13, 16,. 00:07:26.975 --> 00:07:29.644 He said look look up and down. 00:07:29.644 --> 00:07:33.274 See, your seed is going to be as numerous as the dust of the earth. 00:07:33.274 --> 00:07:36.029 You know, the Middle East got a lot of dust. 00:07:36.029 --> 00:07:42.317 And then in Genesis 15, he said look up and look at the stars. 00:07:42.317 --> 00:07:46.475 Your seed will be as the stars in heaven, for multitude. 00:07:46.475 --> 00:07:50.374 So he had already spoken that to him. 00:07:51.105 --> 00:07:55.596 And so here he is a few years later and he's you know, circumstances had worn him down. 00:07:55.596 --> 00:08:01.576 He's thinking, gosh, there's just no way that this promise can come to pass. 00:08:01.576 --> 00:08:08.295 And so God began to remind him. 00:08:08.295 --> 00:08:16.512 And then he renamed him Abraham and the word Abraham means father of many nations and he gave him the right name so he could talk right. 00:08:16.512 --> 00:08:19.927 He wasn't talking right, he was. 00:08:19.927 --> 00:08:25.146 He was dwelling on the circumstances, he was dwelling on, on the insufficiency he was. 00:08:25.146 --> 00:08:29.057 He was thinking that God couldn't do it because he couldn't do it. 00:08:29.057 --> 00:08:34.155 See, he was still he's still invested in his own ability, or lack of ability. 00:08:34.155 --> 00:08:34.918 Have you ever been there? 00:08:34.918 --> 00:08:43.109 Have you ever looked at some of the things that are going on in your life and you think, well, I just don't have the education, I don't have the money for that, I don't have this for that, I don't have that for that. 00:08:43.109 --> 00:08:46.889 Oh, god's got everything we need, he's more than enough. 00:08:46.889 --> 00:08:52.634 He's the old shadow, and if there's something that you need to know, he can show it to you. 00:08:52.634 --> 00:08:54.990 He can, he can relay it to you. 00:08:54.990 --> 00:08:58.832 And so he renamed him so he could talk right. 00:08:58.832 --> 00:09:04.607 And so immediately he began to say well, I'm Abraham, I'm the father of many nations, this is my wife. 00:09:04.607 --> 00:09:08.990 Princess Sarah means princess of nations, she's the mother of nations, are you know? 00:09:08.990 --> 00:09:10.375 She's the queen, or so forth. 00:09:10.375 --> 00:09:16.609 And so he starts introducing her and as if they're they've got a multitude of descendants and they don't have anything. 00:09:16.609 --> 00:09:18.427 They have nothing yet. 00:09:18.427 --> 00:09:23.490 But they had to change what they were speaking and of course, we know the story. 00:09:23.490 --> 00:09:29.591 They conceived Isaac within 90 days of this, right here, within 90 days of this rename. 00:09:31.585 --> 00:09:37.808 I'll tell you most Christians talk of their birth identity instead of their new birth identity in Christ. 00:09:37.808 --> 00:09:41.750 We're dealing with that right now and I'm not even talking about the world. 00:09:41.750 --> 00:09:46.706 The world is out there rioting and and they're protesting and they're they're hurting and they're. 00:09:46.706 --> 00:09:48.392 There's a lot of emotion. 00:09:48.392 --> 00:10:04.293 There's emotions and then some of these groups are invading people, the legitimate people, who are hurting and inflamed and maybe they had wrong done to them, maybe they know people or maybe they're family. 00:10:04.293 --> 00:10:13.610 It's a very emotional time and a lot of the facts get lied about, the facts get covered over and you can't really tell people about the facts. 00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:21.393 But I know this a lot of those people are Christians and they're not being taught to look at their new birth identity in Christ. 00:10:21.544 --> 00:10:24.774 If they did that, they wouldn't be so concerned about being a minority. 00:10:24.774 --> 00:10:30.476 They wouldn't be so concerned about having slave blood or ancestors. 00:10:30.476 --> 00:10:36.152 You know, when you come into Christ, there's no more bond or free, there's no more male nor female. 00:10:36.152 --> 00:10:38.275 I can say it, there's no black or white. 00:10:38.275 --> 00:10:40.884 It's gone when you're in Christ. 00:10:40.884 --> 00:10:43.855 Now, for the rest of this country that's not in Christ. 00:10:43.855 --> 00:10:46.524 Well, yeah, they've got, they're gonna have a battle. 00:10:46.625 --> 00:10:47.509 And so what do we do? 00:10:47.509 --> 00:10:57.330 Well, let's preach the good news and get them saved and bring them out of that old family that they're unhappy with and bring them into the new family, the family of God. 00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:01.693 We've got the answer, but let's live it. 00:11:01.693 --> 00:11:07.784 So Jesus is known as the seed of Abraham. 00:11:07.784 --> 00:11:11.605 See, that's exactly what Galatians said. 00:11:11.605 --> 00:11:21.754 It says you know, let me go back there, I've lost my place just temporarily, but it didn't say seeds plural. 00:11:22.206 --> 00:11:24.184 Jesus was the seed. 00:11:24.184 --> 00:11:35.336 It was through Isaac that the seed came through the lineage, and so we were all the children of Abraham through faith in Christ. 00:11:35.336 --> 00:11:35.476 Why? 00:11:35.476 --> 00:11:36.871 Because we're in the seed. 00:11:36.871 --> 00:11:40.111 We're in the seed, you see. 00:11:40.111 --> 00:11:49.154 I mean the minute we get saved, we come out of our family line, whatever your family name is, whatever your father was, and gave you your last name. 00:11:49.154 --> 00:11:55.410 The minute that you got saved, you were baptized into Christ Jesus and now you're part of his lineage. 00:11:55.410 --> 00:11:58.150 Oh, wow, what a, what a. 00:11:58.150 --> 00:11:59.890 And so you're the seed of Abraham. 00:11:59.890 --> 00:12:04.855 And see, galatians are provided here. 00:12:04.855 --> 00:12:07.044 Are you getting anything out of this? 00:12:07.044 --> 00:12:24.023 Because you need to get a revelation of this and share it with people that don't have a revelation, because if they're Christians, they can change what they're thinking and what they're, they can get rid of all this anger and angst and all this pressure. 00:12:24.023 --> 00:12:30.184 Verse 29, if you be Christ, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs, according to the promise. 00:12:30.184 --> 00:12:32.609 See, because Jesus was a seed of Abraham. 00:12:32.609 --> 00:12:41.272 So we're the seed of Abraham and all the promises applied that applied to Isaac or applied to Abraham, apply to us. 00:12:41.272 --> 00:12:49.245 And so here in John, chapter 10, let's look at John Now. 00:12:49.285 --> 00:12:56.876 I remember hearing Brother Osteen preach this so many years ago almost 40 years ago now changed my life and I got ahold of this. 00:12:56.876 --> 00:12:58.250 I never heard anything like it. 00:12:58.250 --> 00:13:00.168 Never heard anything like it. 00:13:00.168 --> 00:13:05.711 I don't think very many places even have a knowledge of what Jesus really came. 00:13:05.711 --> 00:13:09.125 I think most people think that Jesus can't make bad people good. 00:13:09.125 --> 00:13:10.708 No, he came to give dead. 00:13:10.708 --> 00:13:13.115 He came to give dead people life. 00:13:13.115 --> 00:13:19.474 We were all dead in sin, but when we got saved, we became, we got Zoë life. 00:13:19.474 --> 00:13:23.014 And so that's exactly here in John, chapter 10. 00:13:23.684 --> 00:13:28.390 He says the thief cometh not but for to steal, kill and destroy. 00:13:28.390 --> 00:13:30.589 But I am come. 00:13:30.589 --> 00:13:32.173 Don't get me mixed up with the thief. 00:13:32.173 --> 00:13:33.451 The thief is who, the devil? 00:13:33.451 --> 00:13:38.393 But really, if you read this whole passage here, he's really talking about religion. 00:13:38.393 --> 00:13:40.769 He's, you know, the devil. 00:13:40.769 --> 00:13:42.547 It's true of the devil he's a thief. 00:13:42.547 --> 00:13:44.514 But religion is also a thief. 00:13:44.514 --> 00:13:54.451 Religion is man's vain attempt to reach God by his own devices, and so religion is a thief. 00:13:54.885 --> 00:13:58.711 And he said the thief comes not but for to steal, kill and destroy. 00:13:58.711 --> 00:14:01.552 But don't get me confused with the thief. 00:14:01.552 --> 00:14:08.461 I am come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly. 00:14:08.461 --> 00:14:20.633 I came that you might have life, zoe, the God kind of life, the God kind of life, abundantly, that you might have life more abundantly. 00:14:20.633 --> 00:14:25.332 The word abundantly there's Greek Parisos, it means excessive. 00:14:25.332 --> 00:14:26.826 Jesus came. 00:14:26.826 --> 00:14:33.009 I want you to have excessive life, not just life, excessive life, and it's the God kind of life. 00:14:33.009 --> 00:14:36.907 So he has a double, it's double, see. 00:14:36.907 --> 00:14:40.616 Most people say, man, you won't, you want me to have the life that God has. 00:14:40.616 --> 00:14:42.048 That'd be really good. 00:14:42.048 --> 00:14:44.014 But then he puts excessive on it. 00:14:44.014 --> 00:14:49.068 He puts excessive on it that it's just. 00:14:49.068 --> 00:14:50.634 That's over the top, isn't it? 00:14:50.634 --> 00:15:05.711 See, it's that, it's that, it's that El Shaddai, it's the El Shaddai, it's the personality of El Shaddai, that's God's personality is to give you way more than you need, overflowing, excessive. 00:15:05.731 --> 00:15:20.350 And so when you look up that word in your Concordance, strong's Concordance, it means super abundant in quantity, superior in quality. 00:15:20.350 --> 00:15:25.395 So it's, it has to do with quantity and quality. 00:15:25.395 --> 00:15:36.912 Super abundant in quantity, not just abundant, super abundant and super abundant or Superior in quality. 00:15:36.912 --> 00:15:38.477 The quality God cares about. 00:15:38.477 --> 00:15:41.326 The quality, I Mean we don't have to. 00:15:41.707 --> 00:15:45.875 If you choose to go shopping at goodwill, that's fine. 00:15:45.875 --> 00:15:47.885 I mean, people do, it's no problem, it's not. 00:15:47.885 --> 00:15:49.350 You like a bargain? 00:15:49.350 --> 00:15:49.831 That's fine. 00:15:49.831 --> 00:15:51.557 But don't be limited by that. 00:15:51.557 --> 00:15:56.177 Don't get so chinchy that you think God can't supply you with something a little nicer. 00:15:56.177 --> 00:15:58.601 They made it won't bankrupt heaven. 00:15:58.601 --> 00:16:05.412 And so Excessive, super abundant quantity, superior in quality. 00:16:05.731 --> 00:16:09.158 In other words, we could say God came to give us too much and too nice. 00:16:09.158 --> 00:16:11.451 It's just too much. 00:16:11.451 --> 00:16:17.592 You know, god is too much in these, just too much, he's just too nice, this is just too nice. 00:16:17.592 --> 00:16:21.211 Well, he fed the multitudes with too much. 00:16:21.211 --> 00:16:22.173 That's what Jesus did. 00:16:22.173 --> 00:16:25.049 Jesus, what do you got to feed these 20? 00:16:25.049 --> 00:16:29.032 There's about 20,000 people, 5,000 men with Women and children. 00:16:29.032 --> 00:16:31.605 You add that on 20,000 people, what do you got? 00:16:31.605 --> 00:16:44.575 Well, I've just got five loaves of two fish and little boys lunch, and we know that he multiplied the loaves and fishes and fed them with so much they ate until they were filled and they had 12 baskets left over. 00:16:44.575 --> 00:16:46.519 He fed them with too much. 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.798 He didn't say, oh, I'm sorry, don't have quite enough here. 00:16:50.798 --> 00:16:53.832 Here's an eyeball here. 00:16:53.832 --> 00:16:56.303 I'm gonna squish this eyeball of and you can have some of that. 00:16:56.303 --> 00:17:00.600 No, he gave them what they wanted and they had seconds and thirds until they were. 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:07.131 They were gorge, they were filled, couldn't eat another bite, and 12 baskets left over. 00:17:07.131 --> 00:17:15.193 And did the same thing again with seven loaves and a few fish and Fed 4,000, which was 16,000 people, and had seven baskets left. 00:17:15.193 --> 00:17:16.959 I tell you, god knows how to get. 00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:19.704 Give you more than you could ever think that you needed. 00:17:19.704 --> 00:17:24.576 He's exceeding abundantly above a pin. 00:17:26.205 --> 00:17:32.398 How about Luke 5, when, when Jesus was teaching out of the boat, he borrowed Peter's boat and he was teaching from the seashore. 00:17:32.398 --> 00:17:34.489 So were so is the word. 00:17:34.489 --> 00:17:37.287 And then he said okay, let's launch out into the deep Now. 00:17:37.287 --> 00:17:39.234 They just fished all night, hadn't caught a thing. 00:17:39.234 --> 00:17:41.663 You don't fish in the daytime, you fish at night. 00:17:41.663 --> 00:17:45.439 And there on the Sea of Galilee, that wasn't done. 00:17:45.439 --> 00:17:46.625 They were cleaning their nets. 00:17:46.625 --> 00:17:52.476 They weren't really to go fishing, but he said let's launch out in the deep and cast your nets plural. 00:17:52.476 --> 00:18:01.964 And so Peter, kind of him, haught around, he said okay, so he, he let down the net. 00:18:01.964 --> 00:18:04.910 So he didn't even do as much as Jesus said to do. 00:18:04.910 --> 00:18:11.210 And I mean they had a net breaking, boat sinking, partner straining, mine blow and catch. 00:18:11.210 --> 00:18:12.996 They were amazed. 00:18:13.748 --> 00:18:17.934 See, god is not, he doesn't do things Little bit, little bitty. 00:18:17.934 --> 00:18:20.611 You know that's, that's our side. 00:18:20.611 --> 00:18:21.452 Most of the time. 00:18:21.452 --> 00:18:25.749 Our side is it were too busy Underestimating God. 00:18:25.749 --> 00:18:30.813 And you know, look, let's, let's realize how how great he is. 00:18:30.813 --> 00:18:32.236 He's almighty God. 00:18:32.236 --> 00:18:34.138 There's nothing too hard for him. 00:18:35.747 --> 00:18:45.477 And in John 21, after Jesus has risen from the dead, he's over there on the beach and he's got a fire going, he's got some fish and and and, and they don't know it's him. 00:18:45.477 --> 00:18:47.364 He doesn't look quite like himself. 00:18:47.364 --> 00:18:50.912 You know he's, he's risen from the dead, so he's a little bit different. 00:18:50.912 --> 00:18:55.753 The glory had touched him enough to where he Know, in fact some of them. 00:18:55.753 --> 00:18:57.924 The only way they could tell is to put their finger in his. 00:18:57.924 --> 00:19:03.305 You know, thomas had to put his finger in his in a hand print of the nail prints and his hand in his sides. 00:19:03.305 --> 00:19:06.744 The only reason he knew it was him and his voice. 00:19:06.744 --> 00:19:11.494 But anyway he said hey, lads, if you caught anything, they're out there fishing. 00:19:11.515 --> 00:19:19.424 Because Peter said I go efficient, he was tired of being broke and they didn't see anything going on in the ministry, so they decided they're gonna go back fishing again. 00:19:19.424 --> 00:19:20.848 It's the only thing they really knew. 00:19:20.848 --> 00:19:22.253 And they're out there. 00:19:22.253 --> 00:19:23.498 And then hadn't caught a thing. 00:19:23.498 --> 00:19:27.059 And Jesus knew that he's just giggling them a little bit. 00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:28.898 Say hey, boys, you catch anything? 00:19:28.898 --> 00:19:30.928 Well, no, we fished all night. 00:19:30.928 --> 00:19:33.988 We're throwing that on the right side and you will find. 00:19:33.988 --> 00:19:37.730 And there again, man, here's this net full of fish. 00:19:37.730 --> 00:19:41.246 They're dragging it screening, trying to pull this thing to shore. 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:46.351 And the Bible says there was 153 great fish. 00:19:46.351 --> 00:19:50.858 It said great mega fish, say I don't know that's the sea of Galilee. 00:19:50.858 --> 00:19:57.119 I've been there, I know they don't have swordfish in there, I know they don't have whales and I don't know what kind of great fish they caught. 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:03.650 But they were not mullet, they were not little minnows, they had great fish, 153 of them. 00:20:03.650 --> 00:20:08.884 And of course, and take of the fish you've now caught and add it to mine and let's dine. 00:20:08.884 --> 00:20:12.720 And they had lots left over. 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.809 They could go to the market and sell and pay all their bills, plus 153 great fish. 00:20:19.441 --> 00:20:20.719 See, god is El Shaddai. 00:20:20.719 --> 00:20:21.402 He's the one. 00:20:21.402 --> 00:20:22.726 That's more than enough. 00:20:22.726 --> 00:20:32.969 And so I just want to remind you here in this 2020, it's the greatest year yet, and I know it'd be easy for us to just let that go. 00:20:32.969 --> 00:20:33.602 It's well. 00:20:33.602 --> 00:20:36.806 You know, pastor missed it or God meant something else. 00:20:36.806 --> 00:20:38.359 He must have meant something spiritual. 00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:42.070 I just don't believe that we ought to sell God short. 00:20:42.070 --> 00:20:44.046 I tell you, god is El Shaddai. 00:20:44.046 --> 00:20:54.419 He's more than enough and, no matter what your circumstances are, we can't just we shouldn't be just believing to barely scrape by it. 00:20:54.419 --> 00:20:59.989 We need to believe for excessive, because that's what he got, that's what he gave us. 00:20:59.989 --> 00:21:01.666 He gave us excessive. 00:21:01.666 --> 00:21:33.359 There's a need beyond ourselves, and I know it's easy just to look at what we need and what we can handle and so forth and so on, but then, if we don't factor in another huge amount because this, just think about the world as we see it right now I think what it's going to take to reverse and to take out all of this anger and division in just one country, and I believe it's going all over the country. 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:43.404 I mean, I've seen the same thing going on in Britain, they're having the same thing going on in France and all of the all of the civilized world they're having these riots. 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:44.665 It's a supernatural, folks. 00:21:44.665 --> 00:21:49.186 This is a demonic attack and I believe the devil knows what's headed. 00:21:49.186 --> 00:21:51.346 He knows there's a revival coming. 00:21:51.346 --> 00:21:52.865 He knows there's an awakening coming. 00:21:52.865 --> 00:21:56.250 He's doing everything he can to short circuit that. 00:21:56.250 --> 00:21:58.386 But let me tell you, god is El Shaddai. 00:21:58.386 --> 00:22:22.627 If we'll do our part and lift up our eyes on the fields because they're wide already to harvest and realize it's going to take a lot more than just us and what we need, we're going to have to add a factor on to what we're believing for An excessive amount, an excessive see according to the Bible, an excessive supply is available. 00:22:22.627 --> 00:22:28.550 An excessive supply is available according to the Word. 00:22:28.550 --> 00:22:34.090 And so I want to kind of close this out. 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:43.209 I want to read Ephesians 3.20 to you, and I'll read it in the King James first, but let me also read it out of the passion. 00:22:43.209 --> 00:22:51.664 Ephesians 3.20, el Shaddai, that's who he is. 00:22:51.664 --> 00:22:55.920 We're the seed of Abraham, and if he's El Shaddai to Abraham. 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.285 He's El Shaddai to us. 00:22:57.285 --> 00:23:03.782 We're the seed In verse 20, ephesians 3.20, now under him. 00:23:03.782 --> 00:23:16.549 That's talking about God that is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think. 00:23:16.549 --> 00:23:24.142 One translation says all that we dare ask or even think, according to the power that worketh in us Under him. 00:23:24.142 --> 00:23:29.130 Be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, around all ages, world without end, amen. 00:23:29.130 --> 00:23:35.623 That tells me that if God is going to have glory in the church, that church has got to start believing in El Shaddai. 00:23:35.623 --> 00:23:40.170 We started cranking up our estimation of God's abilities. 00:23:40.170 --> 00:23:46.025 Let's look at the passion translation of that same verse, and it's powerful. 00:23:46.025 --> 00:23:47.343 Ephesians 3.20,. 00:23:47.522 --> 00:23:54.105 Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. 00:23:54.105 --> 00:24:06.789 He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination. 00:24:06.789 --> 00:24:16.761 He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you, praise you. 00:24:16.761 --> 00:24:17.324 Isn't that good? 00:24:17.324 --> 00:24:20.689 I mean, he's able to exceed our wildest dreams. 00:24:20.689 --> 00:24:21.521 Dare to dream. 00:24:21.521 --> 00:24:31.362 Dare to sit down with a tablet and a pencil and sit down and think about some of the things that you do. 00:24:31.362 --> 00:24:44.571 If you had this and you had that and you could do this and you could do that, you could have the level of health and the level of strength and the level of finances and all of your personal affairs and order. 00:24:44.571 --> 00:24:54.446 I'm telling you, let's dare to dream and then expect God to do even greater than our wildest dreams, because that's what he wants to do in this season. 00:24:54.446 --> 00:24:56.707 Our greatest year yet is 2020. 00:24:56.707 --> 00:25:03.808 So it's because he's El Shaddai, lift your hands and receive tonight El Shaddai, the God who's more than enough. 00:25:03.808 --> 00:25:06.451 Amen, be encouraged.
