Hey, I'm glad to join you today. I wanted to come in and give you a real quick thought the Lord has been speaking to me about finances. And who needs finances? I mean, I don't see no hands. Hallelujah. We all need them. Hallelujah. Finances with gas going up, you know, insurances, food, and so on. And it's like it's getting to be tedious, but you know, the Lord will make a way where there seems to be no way. And that's what I'm going to show you today when I have a message to bring forth.
Well, as you know, you're watching the Marketplace Network, and this is ministering God's word. I'm your Apostle Jason. And I just wanted to give you a quick thought from my new book that just came out, Healing and Deliverance, Brokenness to Wholeness. You might even have the book if you've already gotten it. My first one was The Spirit of God, the healing one. They co-labor together, and so they work with healing, and they work with wholeness, and brokenness, and all this good stuff that you need from the word of God, and it will help you to come from brokenness to wholeness. Yeah.
And as we look, last time I talked about how to have faith, you know, but not just by seeing. Cuz they say seeing is believing. No, believing is seeing. Having faith is seeing what God's going to do. And I'll show you that in page 56 of my new book. >> [snorts] >> And in chapter seven, the faith that moves. Every believer is called to walk in faith. That does not more than listen. A faith that acts, responds, obeys, steps into the supernatural flow of God. See, when we >> [clears throat] >> respond to God, and call out to him, or hear from God, and obey what he says for us to do, and then we step into the supernatural of what seems impossible, God makes possible. It is never meant to remain internal. Faith is designed to move, to touch, to lay hands, to speak, to stand, and to believe. So, here you have all this operation of faith that God's going to move when you extend your faith towards God, and whatever that person's going through, how they whether you're laying hands on them, or you're blessing them, that God is going to see that through. Hallelujah. Because we're going to link their faith with ours into God, and God's going to move. It's faith into action. When you're acting on God's word, that's moving faith into action. I like to say faith is a first action in truthful hope, f a i t h. And so, we're moving our faith into an action in truthful hope. The hope of the Lord Jesus Christ and what everything that he has said he would do and is going to do. Hallelujah. Is all available for us today. Jesus said in Mark 16 that believers, not just apostles, not just prophets, not just pastors, but believers, that's you and me. If you're a born-again Christian and you have Jesus in your you're a believer. Hallelujah. You shall lay hands on the sick. It's not just the apostle, the pastors, the prophets, the elders, but you shall lay hands on the sick. Hallelujah. And they shall recover. Not might, not maybe, but they will recover. Hallelujah. When you lay hands on the sick. Because your faith will be linked with God's, and you'll build up their faith, and they're going to believe in God because they have someone praying for them, believing God for them, and then you see the supernatural take place. Cancer gets removed. Hallelujah. Sickness and infirmities and colds and flus and headaches and all that stuff and and people that are lame that need to walk. Hallelujah. Those eyes that are blind that need to see. Hallelujah. All that shall recover. He said he would do that.
In this chapter, you will go deeper into the truths God has given to teach about operating in healing, authority, spiritual confidence. We explore how faith becomes action. In other words, we're not just saying things, we're in action. This is the book of action. This is Acts 29. We explore how faith becomes action, how beatings becomes breakthrough, and how the believer becomes a vessel through which God releases his power. Oh, I love that part. In other words, I can't do anything without his power, his anointing, his ability. So, we have our power through him. And then we release ourselves from him. Hallelujah. As the Holy Spirit works through us. Faith is not waiting for a feeling, but it's stepping into what God already said. So, if a word says go to the other side, go to the other side cuz that's where the victory is. Hallelujah. And faith will be in action for you. Hallelujah.
So, I have this thought as we deal with this financial finances. We talked last time about the seed of the believer. This time we're talking about the success of the believer. How does the believer become successful? So, when you are with the Lord, word and spirit, you can't fail. So, when you're lined up with the word of God, what he says about your finances, how you're giving and everything, how you're operating in the spirit from the Holy Spirit who's teaching you, who's molding you, guiding and directing you, showing you the path how to give, what to give, you know, you're going to see that you can't fail. Hallelujah. The success of a believer. We go to the Old Testament in Joshua 1:8, it talks about how you can become prosperous. The first point I want to bring out is about being prosperous. So, we keep our minds stayed upon the Lord. We meditate on his word day and night. Yes. So, we're always thinking about what God's going to do in his word towards our lives or anybody else's that we're praying and believing for. So, it says that in the Old Testament >> [snorts] >> in the book of Joshua, chapter 1, the very first chapter, verse eight. This book of the law, this book of his word shall not depart out of thy mouth. Thou shalt meditate therein day and night. Let it be a continual thing from morning till till you go to sleep. You meditate on his word. Well, I need finances. I Well, how do you get finances? You ask the Lord. Hallelujah. Where should I give? You ask the Lord. He'll show you where to give. Hallelujah. So, you meditate on this, that you observe and do according to all that is written. So, here's an obedience clause. You do all according to what his word is written. And so, you shall make a way that is prosperous for you. He'll make a way that's prosperous. He'll make a way where there seems to be no way.
I remember one time I was trying to pay rent. Hallelujah. And I was short $300. Didn't have it, but I was in ministry. I was flowing in the things of God. I was doing outreach in Hollywood. And I needed $300 to pay my rent. I had only 500 of it. I needed another 300. And this man of God comes out of nowhere, and he's putting 300 down in front of me as months of them Sunny Parker is counting money and this and that to see what's got in the offering. And she was going to take that. I said, "No, that is for him." And so, the testimony of it was was not just that it was for me, but it was so I could pay my rent. It's the exact amount I needed to pay my rent. One time I was preaching. Hallelujah. At my church where and I was uh giving the word and everything, and I got a little blessing from my pastor for bringing the word, and he put a little extra on there. I needed tires. He had no idea. He said, "See, the Lord showed me what you needed. You didn't have to know. He just provided extra for you so that you could take care of that." Cuz usually you'd only get this much, and he gave that much. And then it was just being a more generous gift of blessing for taking time for the church while he was gone and everything. Anyway, long story short, God knows when your need is there. Hallelujah. So, if you trust him, you put all your trust in him through your your your prayers, when you call upon him, he's going to bless you, too. People seem like it's so hard to deal with the finances. Seems to be one of the biggest things that people have a hard time with is money. Hallelujah. And he owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He has the whole world in his hands. He takes care of the birds in the in the trees. He makes care Everybody's taken care of. Why would he not take care of you? You're in the image of God. And if you're in the image of God, why would he not take care of you? That's it. Hallelujah.
So, it's prosperous through the word. It's making a way before the Lord. You're making a way before the Lord. Maybe you've made a covenant. Maybe you've made a vow on how you're going to give. Hallelujah. And whether it be a tenth, what what whatever it is. Whether it's helping out the neighbor across the street or the neighbor next door to you that needs help financially. They might need gas. They might need food. Their kids might need clothes. Whatever it is. We got to recognize our own neighbors next door cuz a lot of times we forget about our neighbors next door and only think about our own centralized areas, the church. Hallelujah. We got to think about everybody. Hallelujah. Where can we fill the need that God wants us? Remember what he said? If I'm If I'm starving, you know, I'm hungry. Hallelujah. And if you feed them, then you've fed me. He says that, and I believe in the book of Matthew. But I'm telling you, you do these things, and you're feeding God. Hallelujah. By feeding those that are in need. Hallelujah. Whether it be finances or their gas, car, whatever, food, clothing, those things. It's a purpose, too. And we'll go to the book of Matthew, 16:26. For what is a man that profit? This is Jesus saying this. If you shall gain the whole world, lose your own soul, what shall man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of the Father and his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works. So, what are we giving? Where are we giving? Where shall we profit if we're giving? Hallelujah. If we're going to be prosperous in God, not just in ourselves, we've got to do it through his word. We have to do it his way. We have to do it in good works, godly works. And that's helping those around us, those that are hungry. I mean, there's so many homeless out there in need and we give them a buck or two. Hopefully, some of them are taking them out to eat or doing something, put some clothes on them. I remember I was even homeless and a and and a coworker helped me out with clothes one time. He just wanted to bless me. I don't know if I needed or not, but he wanted to take me to the store and bless me. So, praise God. Yeah, I mean, that's what we do. We bless it forward instead of paying it forward. You don't feel like you have to pay it. You're blessing it. It's like you've literally put God's hand on it when you do that, when you're blessing it forward.
And so, this prosperous way, the second thing I want to talk about is commitment. You commit. It's the very commitment when it comes to the plans of the Lord. Let's look at the Old Testament in the book of wisdom of Proverbs. Proverbs 16:3. Commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts will be established. So, everything that you commit, everything that you thought about because you're doing it unto the Lord, it's going to be established. It's going to have a foundation. It's going to have a way that you are the plans of the Lord. That's what's important about that. And so, we're committing ourselves to God. We're committing ourselves through pledging, through making vows, through making covenant with the Lord. When we do those things, the plans of the Lord will surely be blessed for you. We walk and obey in which way we should go. And the book of Kings 2:3 talks about this. That'll be 1 Kings chapter 2 verse 3. And keep charge of the Lord to walk in his ways to keep his statutes, his commandments, his judgments, his testimonies as written in the laws of Moses that thou mayest prosper in all that you do. You want to prosper in all you do, in whatever you put your hand to do, it's going to prosper, commit to these things. His commandments, his statutes, his way of doing things. And when we do that, you'll know which way you go. And it says that in verse 3. It says that when thou doest whether the whatsoever that turn thyself, so the Lord will continue as what he spoke concerning me saying, "If thy children take heed to their way to walk before me with truth, with all their heart, with all their soul, they shall not fail thee." And he said, "A man the throne of Israel." I'm talking about the success of a believer. Hallelujah. This is you. Hallelujah. When you do these things, if we follow, walk, and obey, and go the way he wants us to go, then we're for sure that as we're committed to the Lord, that he's going to commit his finance, he's going to commit his heritage, his prosperity to you. Amen.
And the last thing I want to talk about seeking the kingdom. And that's in the book of Matthew chapter 6:33. It says, "Seek ye the kingdom of God first and all these things will be added unto you." So, when you go before God and you seek his kingdom, kingdom business, and you take care of kingdom business and whatever the Lord has need of that be taken care of in kingdom business for you and those around you, praise God, then everything will be added unto you. Then the resources and finances will be poured out like you can only imagine. Not only to bless you, but so you can bless others. It's not extravaganza for you, you know, ill-gotten wealth. It's so you can bless others, too. You won't need it all for yourself.
And as we come to a close, Luke 16:13, we serve God with partners of God. I've talked about partnering with God before, but in 16 Luke, let's go there before I run this to a close. Book of Luke chapter 16 verse 10 through 13. >> [snorts] >> That he is faithful. Another thing that we can be do before the Lord. Wherever we are, whoever our boss, our job, that we be faithful. In other words, we're always on time, we're always there, we're always obedient. But be faithful that with least is faithful also will be in much. And he that is unjust in least will be unjust in much. See, if we're not disobedient, then we're not going to get much. We're going to end up Some are going to end up in jail. Some are going to be even die at the wayside. But what I'm saying is is when you are faithful to God, he'll be faithful to you. And that's why we serve God and partner with God so that we'll be successful as a believer. That our success won't be just our success, it'll be God's success working for us. When God works for us, hallelujah, and I don't mean like he's working for us, but in the spirit where he is moving in our lives because we're trusting him and everything that he wants us to do with our finances, that God is going to be successful in you. Hallelujah.
That's the message I had for today and I just wanted to encourage that I have a new book out, the healing and deliverance, brokenness to wholeness. You can get this book on the internet, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Amazon, and just get as many as you can so you can help out. I want to get this out to people so that they will be no longer broken and they can be made whole. And that's not just what I'm saying in these words, but you could teach them that. If you learn to read this and understand it, and as I go each week into a new teaching and deeper of what's going on in this book so you can understand it better, you can be able to reach out to others with these books. Hallelujah. You can minister to people cuz like I said, you should lay hands on the sick and they will recover. Well, it's not just the ones that are sick, got a cold or dying or anything. I'm talking about they might be sick in their spirit. Hallelujah. And God needs to heal them and bring comfort and peace and joy into their life so that they will be full again and be whole again before the Lord. That's what he says, "Your faith has made you whole." because everything was taken care of, not just their healing, but they were made whole. Hallelujah. They When they found Christ, they became a new creature, a new creation, a new person. Hallelujah. And I'm telling you, this book will bless you. So, get my book. Hallelujah. And just want to let you know that Jesus is Lord. I'm Apostle Jason and this is Ministering God's Word. I'll see you again soon. >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music]
