Hello. I'm glad you can join me. I wanted to pop on real quick. I want to be speaking about finances. How many of you out there are struggling with finances? I don't see your hands. Praise God.
As you know, you're watching the Marketplace Network. You are watching Ministering God's Word, and I'll be your guide, Apostle Jason. As always, I appreciate your valuable time. And of course, I don't want to waste your time. I want to give this quick thought if you would stay with me for just the next few minutes. Praise God.
And so in the word we got going here about finances, this thought, you've heard it, maybe you've never heard it. I want to give you a part in life. How you are watching, how God will bless you because of your giving, your love with your whole heart.
In the Old Testament, a very popular area dealt with giving. the book of Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy 28. And it talks about shall come to pass if thou shall hearken dily unto the voice of the Lord. This is 1-5 to observe and do all these commandments which I command thee this day. The Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. >> He'll make you ruler over nations of the earth. In God's eyes, he'll do it. >> And all these blessings shall come to thee and overtake thee. And if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, that means obey him, hear him, receive what he's saying. You shall be blessed in the city, you shall be blessed in the field. Basically, wherever you go, you shall be in the fruit of your own body, the fruit of the ground, the very ground you walk on, the fruit of thy cattle, all of your substance and and animals or whatever that God gives you, the increase of thy kind, and the flocks of thy sheep. So here he's given this at the very beginning a part in your life if you are watching how God blesses.
There's another popular part we've always heard. The Lord shall open up unto this a good treasure of heaven to give the rain unto the land of his season to bless all the work of thy hand. Shall lend unto many nations and thou shall not borrow. You'll be a lender and not a borrower. You won't be wanting to go to Speedy Cash and try to get money that you have to pay back or get a loan and have to pay all this money back. But you'll be one that wants to bless. You will want to bless forward to people. You'll lend money out. Hallelujah. Because you'll have that finance when God provides it for you. And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail. That means you're going to be in authority. You're going to have the head. You're not going to be at the bottom behind everything with your finances. You shall be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath, and thou hearken under the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day to observe and do all of them. So if we walk in his statutes, his ways of doing things, in his love, and the way that we give, then he has no problem giving back to us. It's in his law of his word that he wants to bless you.
And how does he go about prospering you? >> Well, let's go to let's deal with the Old Testament. Let's begin where it all began. The first uh you know first fruits Genesis chapter 4 3-7 we can get into Cain and Abel's story and in chapter 4 of Genesis you have Cain giving his offering unto the Lord and you have Abel giving his offering unto the Lord. talking about first fruits. And verse three says this, "And in process of time, it came to pass that Cain brought the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, who also brought of the first fruits of his flock, and the fat thereof, and the Lord had respect unto Abel, and to his offering." Why do you think he honored Abel's more than Cain's? because he was brought from the ground. Just whatever there was, whatever I want to give to God. But no, Abel brought the lamb or whatever kind of sacrifice, the finances before even his paycheck, you know, was even, you know, dealt out to bills and whatever else that you want to spend it on. He took the first fruits of it and gave that to God. Whether it be your church, whether it be your the ministry that you're being served under, wherever it is that your your first fruits goes to, that's what you give to. And when you do that, God not only respects it, he honors it. And he'll rebuke the devour. But the way he gave is basically was very important. And it says further on in the scriptures, but unto Cain and his offering, he had no respect. Cain was very wrought and his countenance fell. The Lord said in the king, why are you wroth? Why are you upset? Why are you angry? Why is your countenance fallen? If you do well, shalt thou be accepted? If thou doest not well, then sin lith or creepeth at the door? And unto them they shall he see be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. So do well, and you shall be respected. don't do well and sin's going to creep in because you don't have no heart for God. You don't want to give to God and you don't want to give what's best and not what's just whatever it is I'm going to give. Oh, I'm just going to put a dollar in the offering when I could do better and I know I can. I'm not saying anything about difference of what kind of money, but it's your heart. Remember the widow, praise God, she gave all that she had. All that she had. I've been there. I have testified about in my last message about how I had pennies and that's all I had. I gave that and then it became dollars and so on and regular tithe and so on. But the first fruits of all that you can give that's important to God, then the rest he's going to bless. Then you'll be able to be a good steward of your money as you learn how to do that. Pay your bills of course, your rent and so on, have food to eat, all this and that. So that's one way God respects the first fruits.
Then God wants to prosper you. What? God wants to prosper me. Now, I'm not getting all that prosperity thinking that I'm blame it, claim it, you know, and all that, but I'm saying no. God wants to prosper you. He don't want you to be poor. He don't want you to be in need. So, let's go to Proverbs 10:22. Hallelujah. It's a book of uh wisdom. They consider Proverbs. 31 chapters of wisdom. And so we go to the book of Proverbs, right after Psalms, you got Proverbs. And in chapter, I could quote this, I just rather read it. 10:22, the blessings of the Lord, he maketh it you rich and add no sorrow. There's no shame in being rich as long as you don't worship money, mana, as the scripture says in the New Testament. And remember, it's the root of all evil that makes the money evil. When you make money your god, you don't want money to be your god. You want it to be a substance you can use to be a blessing to others, to yourself, and and number one, of course, to God. And, you know, take care of your church, take care of whoever you're being ministered under to. Hallelujah. So, you want God to prosper because he'll bless you beyond your giving. You know, people say they try to outgive God. I'm never going to try to outgive God because God is God and he's the one that multiplies everything. I can't outgive God. And I couldn't even say it's fun to try because it isn't. But the bottom line is when you bless God, you can't outgive God because there'll be no shame when God is in it. Because God is in it. When you put your first fruits forth, your tithes, your offerings, all that stuff that you put forth to God, he'll bless the rest.
Proverbs 10:4, since we're in the book of Proverbs, I guess I just back up a little bit. He that becometh poor that deal with a slack hand. If you ain't doing anything, you're gonna end up being with not much in your hands. But listen to this. But the hand of the diligent maketh rich. So if you're diligent in the Lord with your faith, with your God, and he's banking on it, he's banking what you're doing for the ministry or what you're doing in your job or whatever it is, God's going to make it rich. He'll multiply it. He'll give you a raise. He'll promote you. Whatever it is, he'll do to make that thing better for you. Praise God. And so we are prospered by those ways, by our giving, by being diligent, putting our hands to whatever we could put our hands to do, knowing that God is in it. When we put our desires and our needs in God when we do that, he's going to bless it. If we do it on our own, well, it could be our own thing. Maybe we make an investment that was not smart or or maybe we uh uh worked at a job that wasn't really going anywhere or whatever it is. So, God has prospered you.
The last thing I want to talk about is covenant. It's very important to be in covenant with God. It's an agreement. It's it's a it's not just a contract, but it's an agreement. It's like the blood covenant that we have with a relationship with Jesus Christ. It's our covenant in our giving. Genesis 8:18 talks about that kind of covenant. You go all the way back to the Old Testament before I even get into the New Testament so that I can put the two hand in hand. And 8:18 talks about a covenant. Genesis 8:18, hallelujah, says this. Did I get the scripture different? Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Is it 188? Bear with me. Not I'm going to have to just tell you the scripture, but I thought it was 8:18. But it's talking about remembering the Lord and his covenant. >> It is 8:18. >> Why am I not finding it? Hallelujah. Glory to God. 8:18. >> Don't find it on the screen. No problem. >> Yeah, it's not coming up. Maybe it's 188. That's probably why. But it talks about remembering his covenant. But how do we only do we remember his covenant? It is also to uh when we do this, we can get wealth not by our own hand but by establishing his covenant. So when we establish covenant in our giving, our first fruits, our tithes, our offerings, whatever we're putting towards God in the ministry, even the show, if that's all that you're receiving from as far as the word, know that God wants to give you the power, the ability to get wealth, financial wealth, good for your health, good for your spirit, good for your resources, your finances, all these things he wants to give you. And that's what it talks about in the Old Testament that he wants to give you the ability to get wealth and establish his covenant. His covenant, praise God, is where we could have that agreement that he's going to come through because we've given to our God and we know that he's going to come through and he's going to multiply and he's going to produce what that fruit that we put forth. How just like when you plant in the in the garden or you plant in the in the field, you expect those crops to come up. pity. It's the same way with finances. You believe God's going to rain on it. Praise God. The word of God waters it. Praise God. And as he waters it, it begins to grow forth fruit. And we water by speaking the word. Hallelujah. So we do that. Hallelujah.
And then Hebrews talks about a better way in Hebrews 8 chapter 6. Hallelujah. This is a better way of our giving. And just like where it says in the New Testament on the first day of the week, as God has prospered you, I believe it's Corinthians 16:2, but I'm not reading that one right now. But this better way is what the Lord is doing. And it's in Hebrews in the New Testament dealing with the priesthood. Hallelujah. Chapter 8. I know I got this one right. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. But now they obtain more excellent ministry. By much also he is the mediator of the better covenant which was established upon better promises. Of course, his salvation, you know, he the new and living way, of course, our healing, our finances, our deliverance, all that falls in there. This better covenant. For as the first covenant was fault been faultless, there should no place have been sought for that second. and for find in fault what these sayith, behold, the days come, say the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, with the house of Judah, and now according to the covenant that I made with thy fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. And it goes on to finish as he says, a new covenant I have made from the first to the I have made the first old and now that which decayth and wax old is ready to vanish away. So in this new covenant, he's come to vanish away the old, but it's to be fulfilled in the new covenant of his love, his joy, his peace, his salvation, his healing, his deliverance for you. So this is the covenant we can have, we can stand on through the finances when we're going through financial situation. Lord, I I always remember you first. I take care of I trust in you. I stand on what you're worth. My God shall supply all my need according to his riches and glory. Philippians 4:19, you know, we stand on the word. We quote the word, you know, as I mentioned earlier, I make you rich. I make you uh financially stable. Praise God. I make you wealthy and add no sorrow with it. No shame because you're doing it for the Lord. You're doing it for what God has placed in you. Your desires are his desires. So, you don't have desire to go out and buy a car that you don't need to be driving because you can't afford to be paying for the payments or whatever. You got to use wisdom in areas how God has blessed you. There's difference of stepping out into faith than just what he's blessed you with and you work with that and then he'll multiply it. He'll build your faith up what he wants you to do next or get next or whatever you know. And so we make that covenant with him and that's how we can walk in God's blessings when we follow his order of stature of giving. Remember I mentioned about the first fruits, how he prospers you and a covenant with God. We have to write it out or if we have to just demonstrate it, whatever it takes for you to show God that look at I am doing what you want me to do with this finance so that you will take care of it. I will take my bills, my all my need will be taken care of. Like the scripture says in Philippians 4:19, he's Jehovah Gyra, our provider. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God.
And so that's what I wanted to share with you in in in the the little nuggets I had here from the word of God about walking in God's blessings. And here's another thought. I've always promised I'd got another key from my latest book title. And that book title right here, the spirit of God, the healing one. It's out now. Praise God. You can purchase it now. And I want to share a nugget from there. I felt the Lord has lead me to mention to you so I can go deeper from the word that I've studied and I've, you know, put in a book from the word of God. and I will give you another key to my latest book. Praise God.
Now, how many are struggling with the cost of insurance? I know I am. I hearing stuff right and left. Switch over from one insurance to another and then they ain't paying for this because we weren't referred to this or that, you know, and that's evil. And we don't have to be dealing with all that. Now, my Bible says Philippians 4:19, "My God shall supply all my need according to his riches and glory." Right? Need. That's everything that needs to be taken care of that needs to be taken care of for you. Hallelujah. Nothing more. So, if God supplies our needs, then what is our health? How do you do that? I want you to stand on the word of God. >> And as we stand on the word of God, let's look a little bit into my book. If you have it, you can follow along. If not, get the book because it will bless you. So, let's look at Luke 4 where Jesus right after 40 days of fasting, a season of change was tempted by Satan. The enemy questioned him and Jesus answered with the word. And when Satan or his minions attacked you with doubt, fear, or condemnation, answer with God's promises, the word of God never comes back empty or void. That's in Isaiah 55:11. And Jesus had said it is written not by every but every word that proceeded out the mouth of God. So the mouth of God we speak we speak his word. Keep speaking the word over your life and situation just like your mom or grandma always has at the last word has always had the last word. >> Let God's word have the last word in your life. >> And you'll see the enemy flee. See when you speak the word the enemy is going to flee. He's going to have to get lost. He don't want to believe the word. He wants to twist it. He wants to deceive you. He's a deceiver. And after his temptations, Jesus stepped in his mission, declared Luke 4:18, "The authority we have to receive and declare healing." You have the right to healing. It's a right to your body. >> Jesus bought that price for you at the cross. >> That's right. >> So, his precious blood paid for that. You have the name of Jesus, his precious blood, and the power of the Holy Spirit. >> Wow. Three awesome things. The name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, the very blood that he shed brings atonement for your salvation, atonement for your healing, atonement for your blessings. It's all there for atonement of deliverance. If you need deliverance, all these things is that atonement for you. >> Amen. >> And his resurrection power living inside of you. If you're spiritfilled, you got resurrection power living inside you. All of God dwells in you. Let these truths rise up. Speak them over your life. Let them come alive in you. As you speak the word of God, it will birth and it will come alive in you. And watch as God brings healing, deliverance, and breakthrough. Oh, there's that word breakthrough. See, there's finances. A lot of people think of breakthrough. That's finances. It's healing, too. But it's breakthrough in your life. That means you've been in a barrier where I can't get to the other side financially. I can't get to the other side for my healing. Cancer seems to be overtaking me. No, Jesus wants to face that cancer and say, "What is not planted by my father shall be rooted up the book of Matthew speaks of that." Hallelujah. So take a few minutes, praise God, and right now let his spirit quicken your mortal body. Ephesians 8:11 uh not Ephes Romans 8:11 where the spirit of God will Christ will quicken your mortal body. That resurrection power is what quickens the mortal body. That's what raised Christ from the dead. Praise God. Was the spirit. Hallelujah. The Holy Spirit. You have all the tools you need. The name, the blood, the power. Hallelujah. Praise God. Receive wholeness in every area.
In summary, God provides for our healing through both natural means like nutrition, exercise, wise choices, supernatural power made available through faith in Christ. Amen. >> And when you combine practical wisdom and a strong spiritual foundation, you open yourself to the complete wholeness. That's the whole totality. That's shalom. That's everything. Not just peace. It's everything. God desires you to prosper in your body, soul, and spirit. And that's the scripture I wanted to bring out uh for that part was uh 3R John 3:2. Beloved, I wish you above all that you prosper. Be in good health as thy soul prospers. And as you deliver are in part of the inheritance as a child of God, you stand on his word. You use the tools he's given you and trust him for every breakthrough. God's provision is enough for every challenge. Receive it now and accept fullness and freedom. It's a nugget I have from that. Praise God. What do you think? Hallelujah. Let me go your thoughts. I want you to stand on the word of God. I want you to confess with your mouth and call it to manifest. I want you to explain in detail. I want to explain to you in detail in my book. I have a QR code and it's on the screen. You'll see the QR code. And with my book, my second book that I got coming out before Easter, probably the next week or two, uh you can get it on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Walmart, just for 10 bucks. It's not that much. And you will be blessed. You can get a few and pass it on to your neighbor, your friends, your brothers, your sisters, people in your church. You can learn to teach on this. You are a child of God and God has no irrespective of person. But first, you got to learn the tools to be able to teach on it. But you can minister others through this. And you can do a screenshot QR code. It will take you right to the site to order the book.
Now, let me pray for you. Ezra 6:14 talks about you don't want to be in need, but you want to prosper through the prophetic word. Hallelujah. And I want to pray a prophetic word over you and believe God for your financial situation. So many are going through financials, whether it be your health insurance, whether I need gas in the car because the gas prices gone up because of the little war we're having in Iran. We look to God. We can't look to man. I know I say, "Oh, I only make so much on my paycheck." It doesn't matter. We have to trust God. >> He'll make a way where there seems to be no way >> in the wilderness. Praise God. He'll cause rivers to flow through that wilderness. >> He'll make a way. Trust him. Hallelujah. And he is the God that health thee. Just like that beautiful song. Hallelujah. So, let me pray. Father, I just pray right now, Lord God, that everyone that's going through something right now financially, I speak into their life that this prophetic message that they will not be in lack or need, but they will be blessed. Blessed where Lord that they are giving and people are giving unto them. It's such a giving of blessing it forward in their lives, Lord God, because they want to be a blessing. Let others be a blessing to them. let the blessings flow into their life because they want to give to God first as they heard about the first fruits. Now they know if they give to God first, God will take care of the rest if you trust him. Lean not to your own understanding. Let him direct your path. Let him direct your finances. Let him move in your life with your financial money uh your investments. Whatever that you have that can be uh profitable. Lord, I pray that you will multiply it in their life, Lord God, >> some 30, 60, 100fold, Lord God, and let them be a blessing to others and give thanks to you for what you're doing in their life because you bless them. You are the only one that can out bless us, Lord God. And we know that you are the blessing. We know you're Jehovah Gyra, our provider. So Lord, I pray right now that blessing fall upon them as they've given to you, Lord God, that you'll give back abundantly unto them. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Let me know what happens. Let you know and let you know the QR code up there and my zel number if you want to give to this ministry, ministering God's word. I challenge you. Praise God. If you'll just trust God and give towards the man of God, the apostle, he will bless you. And don't give if you if it doesn't bless you, but challenge yourself on that and watch God do something great. Maybe 5, 10, 20, whatever you want to give, whatever the Lord puts upon your heart and watch him turn around and multiply that. He's done it for me. I was given towards missions and God multiplied it. He made sure that I was taken care of. And so I gave to missions and God multiplied that. I give to all kinds of other stuff, but he multiplies it. He keeps you flowing in his blessing because you're being a blessing. >> God bless you and uh this is Ministering God's Word and I'm Apostle Jason and I'll see you again soon. Heat. Hey, Heat.
