Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Happy Thursday. This is our Carl Less Pray Ministries. I hope you all are ready to get before our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ this morning. I pray that God will consume your surroundings. I pray that God will calm the raging seas in your life. I pray that God will visit us right now as we connect through this podcast. I pray that God will just bring so much clarity to your heart, man, soul, and spirit. And I pray that God, as I talk, speaks to you. Amen. I want God to just resonate all the way around you on this glorious and wonderful Thursday morning. I want you to know that abundance and wisdom looks good on you. And as always, I thank you all for joining me. You know, when people hear the word abundance, they immediately think about money. Well, God certainly provides for our needs, and I thank the Lord for that. His abundance reaches far beyond finances. God's abundance includes peace, joy, strength, grace, favor, opportunities, purpose, and his presence. Amen. And wisdom, wisdom is the ability to see life from God's perspective and make decisions that honor Him. Amen. When abundance and wisdom work together, we stop merely surviving in this world and we begin living according to God's purpose. Amen. And this morning, on this day, I want to encourage your heart with this amazing truth. That abundance and God's wisdom. It looks good in your life. It looks good on you. It looks good on your surroundings. Amen. God's abundance and God's wisdom, love, joy, and peace looks good in your life. Accept it. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this morning. We thank you for this opportunity to gather together in your presence. Thank you for every listener who has tuned in this morning, oh God. I thank you for their life and I thank you for their families. And I thank you for their job and their mode of transportation. I thank you, oh God, that you are their ultimate provider. I thank you, oh God, for being their judge and their jeweler. I thank you, oh God, for being their deliverer and their provider, Henry Father. God, I thank you for loving them unconditionally. Honey Father, I just thank you that you keep making a way out of no way in their life. Honey Father, you know exactly what they need, and I pray that you continue to supply their every need. Honey Father, I pray that you will open our hearts to receive your word right now. Fill our minds with your wisdom and our lives with your abundance, oh God. Teach us to trust you as our provider and our guide. And may this time together this morning strengthen our faith, renew our hope, and draw us closer to you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. So this morning, as we talk about God's abundance, I want you to know that it is more than enough. Have you ever felt like you didn't have enough? Not enough money, not enough time, strength, resources, answers. Life can sometimes make us feel as though we're constantly running on empty. But listen to what Jesus reminds us in his word in St. John 10 and 10. I have come that thee, they, ye, you, may have life in heaven more abundantly. Amen. God never tended for his children to live with a poverty mindset. A poverty mindset says there would never be enough. There will never be better in my life. I'm always struggle because this is a part of my life. But I hate to tell you that that is a lie, and the devil is a lie. And we stomp on the devil's head because God said, I am your shepherd, I am your provider, I am your source. So abundance is not about having everything you want, it's about trusting God who will always supply our every need according to His will in heaven. Amen. Sometimes abundance looked like unexpected provision. Sometimes abundance looked like strength to keep on going. Sometimes abundance looks like peace in the middle of a storm. Peace in the middle of the fire. Peace in the middle of a hurricane. Sometimes abundance looks like open doors and divine opportunities. God's abundance is not limited by your circumstances. His resources never run out. Amen. Psalms 24 says, God owns every cattle on the hill, that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, and everything that does within it, right? So whatever you need, God's got it. Whatever you need, God can provide. Whatever you need, God can bring direction, clarity, and show you how to get there and how to receive it. Amen. But God knows the plans over our life. So I want you to know that God is with you. He's never left your side. And you know, God's given us abundance each and every day. When we wake up and we got more than enough. We got our health and our strength. We got activity of our limbs. We got our five senses. We got God on our side. Amen. We just grateful that God is more than enough. And when God gives us his wisdom, his wisdom helps us steward what he gives us. Amen. Many people pray for blessings, but wisdom teaches us how to handle those blessings. Amen. I want you to know that God said if you lack wisdom, come ask for it. I'm right here. I got a whole land, a whole heaven fill of wisdom. Come ask for it. And I want you to know that we all need God's wisdom because wisdom helps us speak a life instead of reacting in anger. Wisdom helps us know what doors to walk through and what doors to leave closed. Wisdom teaches us how to manage opportunities and relationships and finances and responsibilities. And when wisdom and abundance work together, hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus. It is a great harvest that falls before us. Wisdom and abundance. Imagine receiving opportunities but lacking discernment. Imagine receiving increase but lacking direction. That's why wisdom and abundance belongs together. Proverbs 3 13 through 16 states, Blessed are those who find wisdom. She is more precious than rubies. Long life is her right hand, and her left hand are riches in honor. Amen. I didn't read all of it, I skipped some of it. But you all go back and read the rest of Proverbs 3, 13 through 16. Because I want you to know that God's wisdom often leads us into God's abundance. Not just mature abundance, but the abundance of life, purpose, destiny, and faith. And God wants to grow us and make us stronger and make us wiser each and every day. God is not trying to keep nothing from us, my brothers and my sisters, because he wants us to flourish. He wants us to experience his goodness in all kinds of ways, right? And he reminds us in his word that says, down unto him that is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ever ask, according to the power that worketh in us. Amen. We truly gotta understand that God is working within us. God is maneuvering things in us and around us, right? God is making the connection with other believers for our life and for his good. Amen. I want you to know I always say that God specializes in doing more than what we can ever expect. He knows how to give us the healing when we need it. He knows how to give us more grace when we need it. He knows how to give us more favor when we need it. He knows how to restore us when we feel like we done lost everything, like Job, right? I want you to know that God is more than enough and you are more than enough. I want to encourage you this morning that you are more than enough. Stop measuring your future by your current situation because God's wisdom can take you where your experience cannot. God's abundance can supply what your resources cannot, amen. The same God who fed the thousands, the same God who gave Solomon wisdom, the same God who opened doors for Esther and Joseph and Ruth and David and so many other doors. God can do that for you. Your season is not finished, your chapter, your story is not over because God is in the blessing business. God is in the breakthrough season. God is in the elevation increase. So I am telling you to stand fast on his word, stand fast in your prayer, stand on God's truth and pray from the depth of your soul. Don't let nobody take your prayer away. Don't let nobody take your joy away. Always allow God in the room. Amen. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, hallelujah. We bless your name, oh God. Elohim, El Shada, we just give you glory this morning. Thank you for being the great Messiah. Thank you for being our joy. Thank you for being our peace. Thank you for being our will in the middle of a wheel. Thank you, oh God, for being our sunlight. Thank you for being our guide. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for never leaving our side. And today we come before you acknowledging that everything we have comes from you. You are our sustainer. You are our battery. You are the God of more than enough. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, oh God, for being more than enough in our life. Honey Father, I pray over every listener that you will bless their hands, their loving hands, oh God. Lift them up this morning, oh God. You know their needs. You know where they are right now in life. You know their secret thoughts, oh God. You know their broken hearts. You know their whole hearts, oh God. And I'm asking you to intercede on their behalf, interfere in their plans and have your way, oh God. God, I pray that you will let them know that you are in the room this morning. I pray that you let them know that you provided all their provisions. You supply every last one of their needs, that you supply some of their wants. God, remind them that you are with them. Give them clarity when they are confused. Give them direction when they are at a crossroads, oh God. Honey Father, give them discernment where there are difficult decisions lying ahead of them, oh God, and they don't know which decision to make. You are the father who intercedes in our life. So, Helen Father, I just pray that you let abundance flow in their faith, in their peace, their joy, their strength, their hope, their purpose, their tomorrow, oh God. God, let abundance surround them from the inside out. Let them feel your abundance and not this world's abundance. Let them just be consumed, oh God, with your words, with your presence, with your abundance. Make streams in dry places, restore what has been lost, renew what has been broken. God, strengthen them where they are weak. Build them up where they're torn down, oh God. God help them to become faithful stewards with every blessing you lay in their hand, oh God. Teach them how to manage well where you have entrusted in them, oh God. Come, Father, I pray that you will give them wisdom to make all the right decisions. Give them wisdom to seek you in all that they are doing in their life, oh God. Give them wisdom to always connect with you each and every day. Give them wisdom to suck you, oh God, because they need you. I pray that every listener will walk according to your purpose in their life. I pray that they will walk into their wisdom, that they will walk into their abundance, that they will walk into your joy, that they will walk into your peace, that they will walk into your clarity and your discernment. God, I pray that you fill them up with your wisdom, your abundance, your joy, your peace, your presence, oh God, I pray. And Hunter Father, may they never forget how true you are with them. Let them never forget that your true abundance that you shower down upon us has always came from you. That true reverence, true worship starts in our hearts and on the tip of our tongues, oh God. God, we thank you for what you are doing. God, we thank you for what you have done. God, we thank you because you are faithful, you are loving, and you are caring. Father, I pray that you will always let them know how much they are loved. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Amen, amen, amen. Glory to God. I just want you this morning, if you feel like you don't have enough, ask God for it. Ask them for his wisdom, ask them for his abundance, and help him to trust you with the abundance, amen. Ask God to help you to walk confidently in his promises. Ask God for the things that you need this morning. Trust God for what you put in his hands this morning and walk boldly in faith. Walk by faith and not by sight, trusting and believing that God is moving on your behalf. This is our care less pray ministries. Until next time, stay encouraged. Please stay encouraged. Stay faithful and keep your eyes on God because He's moving, He's transforming, He's building, He's restoring. God is on a wave right now. Don't miss out on what God's doing for you because He is leading you into greater things. Be blessed and have a wonderful, wonderful day. Amen. Stay blessed.
