Speaker 4: one of our services. I promise you we will make
Speaker 4: you feel right at home. But I like to start
Speaker 4: with something funny, and I heard about this little girl.
Speaker 4: She asked her mother how the human race got started.
Speaker 4: Her mother explained how God created Adam and Eve and
Speaker 4: they had children on and on here we are today.
Speaker 4: A few days later, she asked her father the same question.
Speaker 4: He explained, how many years ago there were monkeys, and
Speaker 4: little by little they became more like people, and now
Speaker 4: here we are confused. She went back to her mother, said, Mom,
Speaker 4: you said God created people, said we came from monkeys.
Speaker 4: How can that be? She said, oh, honey, that's easy.
Speaker 4: I told you about my side of the family that
Speaker 4: told you about his Say it like you mean it.
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am.
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about positioned for increase. We
Speaker 4: all have to deal with things that come to an end.
Speaker 4: We lost our main client, a friend we could always
Speaker 4: count on is moving away, or a loved one went
Speaker 4: to be with the Lord. We've seen God's blessing in
Speaker 4: the past. We know we have his favor, but it
Speaker 4: seems like that favor has been taken away. But God
Speaker 4: will never remove something unless he has something better coming.
Speaker 4: If he didn't stop certain things, we would never get
Speaker 4: out of our comfort zone. We would stay with what's familiar.
Speaker 4: So sometimes God will put an end to what doesn't
Speaker 4: make sense to us. We don't understand why the friend
Speaker 4: walked away, why the business pushed us out, why sales
Speaker 4: aren't what they used to be. God is not doing
Speaker 4: that to make your life more difficult. He's getting you
Speaker 4: in position for increase. He had to stop what was
Speaker 4: working to force you to stretch so you could come
Speaker 4: in to greater provision, greater opportunity. This is what happened
Speaker 4: with the Israelites. They had been in slavery for many
Speaker 4: years when God supernaturally brought them out. These two million
Speaker 4: people headed into the desert toward the Promised Land. The
Speaker 4: problem was there wasn't anything to eat out there, no
Speaker 4: way to survive. So every morning God gave them something
Speaker 4: called mana. It was like bread that formed on the ground.
Speaker 4: For forty years, as they traveled the desert, one thing
Speaker 4: they could always count on was the Manna. They had
Speaker 4: enemies to fight, they had to overcome the heat, there
Speaker 4: were snakes and scorpions, but every day, like clockwork, there
Speaker 4: was the mana. They knew that was the hand of
Speaker 4: God taking care of them. What they didn't realize was
Speaker 4: the mana was only temporary provision. They were satisfied they
Speaker 4: had something to eat, but God wasn't satisfied. He was
Speaker 4: taking them into a land flowing with milk and honey,
Speaker 4: a land filled with resources with plenty of food. When
Speaker 4: the Israelites got close to the Promised Land, something interesting happened.
Speaker 4: The scripture says the manna ceased, and they never saw
Speaker 4: the mana again. Imagine what the people thought after forty
Speaker 4: years of having mana. Over fourteen thousand mornings, they got
Speaker 4: up and had breakfast at their tent. Now it was
Speaker 4: nowhere to be found. I can hear them panicking, God,
Speaker 4: what's happening? Why won't you provide for us anymore? They
Speaker 4: would have lived off of manna the rest of their lives.
Speaker 4: So God on purpose stopped the mana. He said, from
Speaker 4: now on, I want you to cook your own food.
Speaker 4: There's provision all around you. You don't need this manna
Speaker 4: to sustain you. I'm bringing you into abundance. It's not
Speaker 4: a coincidence that the manna stopped when they were about
Speaker 4: to go into the promised land. When something ceases in
Speaker 4: your life, that's an indication that increase is coming. God
Speaker 4: will never stop something unless he has greater provision on
Speaker 4: the way. Maybe a friend walked away, a contract fell through,
Speaker 4: you had a set back in your family. It's not
Speaker 4: as easy as it used to be. The man is
Speaker 4: not coming. You're having to cook your own food. It's
Speaker 4: because you're about to step in to a new level.
Speaker 4: The manner drying up is a sign you were close
Speaker 4: to your promised land. What you were satisfied with was
Speaker 4: only temporary provision. You were blessed. Life was good, but
Speaker 4: God has so much more in store for you. He
Speaker 4: had to cease the friendship. He had to move that
Speaker 4: person away, not because they're not good, but they were
Speaker 4: limiting you. They can't go where you're going. God had
Speaker 4: to close the door so he can bring people into
Speaker 4: your life that will push you into your purpose. Or
Speaker 4: maybe that position you were counting on didn't work out.
Speaker 4: You were hoping it would last, but it was not permanent.
Speaker 4: It's because it was only temporary provision. God stopped the manna,
Speaker 4: not because he's forgotten about you. He's about to take
Speaker 4: you into your promised land. He ceased it for one reason,
Speaker 4: to increase you, to take you where you couldn't go
Speaker 4: on your own. But when things cease, it's easy to think, God,
Speaker 4: where are you? Where is the manna? What's happening? It's
Speaker 4: been this way for years. I'm counting on it. It's
Speaker 4: tempting to live worried, think we're doing something wrong. We
Speaker 4: must have stepped out of God's favor. God wouldn't have
Speaker 4: ceased it if he didn't have something better coming. When
Speaker 4: that mana quits appearing, instead of being discouraged, have a
Speaker 4: new perspective. You're on the verge of a new level.
Speaker 4: That's an indication that walls are about to come down,
Speaker 4: giants are about to be defeated. You're about to take
Speaker 4: new ground, see new levels, new opportunities. My friend Tony
Speaker 4: Dungee played professional football for many years. After a successful career,
Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety six, he landed his first job as
Speaker 4: a head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team.
Speaker 4: Was a dream come true. He knew it was the
Speaker 4: hand of God opening that door. For six years, everything
Speaker 4: went great. They were winning more games, making more progress.
Speaker 4: The manna was there every morning, the favor, the provision.
Speaker 4: But one day he was unexpectedly let go. They fired him.
Speaker 4: He thought, God, I know you gave me this position.
Speaker 4: When the manna stops, that means God is up to something.
Speaker 4: The question is, will you get negative God, I can't
Speaker 4: believe this happened, this is not fair. Or will you
Speaker 4: say God, I know you wouldn't have closed this door
Speaker 4: unless you were about to open a better door. So Lord,
Speaker 4: I think it that you're in control, that your plans
Speaker 4: for me are for good, that what you started in
Speaker 4: my life you will finish. The man of cci is
Speaker 4: a test many people get bitter give up on their dreams.
Speaker 4: You have to understand the reason the man of stops,
Speaker 4: the reason doors close, the reason people walk away is
Speaker 4: you are close to your promised land. That's God taking away.
Speaker 4: The temporary provision may look permanent to us. We were satisfied,
Speaker 4: but God's dream for your life is much bigger than
Speaker 4: your own. Coach Dungee was disappointed, but he didn't sit
Speaker 4: around in self pity thinking about how bad life was.
Speaker 4: He knew the same God that opened the door in
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay had now closed the door. It wasn't long
Speaker 4: after he was let go that he received a phone
Speaker 4: call from the Indianapolis Colts football team. They said, we're
Speaker 4: looking for a coach. Are you interested. Coach Dungee took
Speaker 4: the job. He went on to win the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: with the Colts. What looked like a great disappointment getting
Speaker 4: pushed out the manner stopping was really a great blessing.
Speaker 4: Has something ceased in your life? You went through a disappointment,
Speaker 4: a door closed, a person walked away. It's more difficult
Speaker 4: than it used to be. The manna is not there.
Speaker 4: Every morning God is saying, get ready, I'm about to
Speaker 4: do something that you've never seen. He didn't cease the
Speaker 4: provision because he's through with you. He stopped it because
Speaker 4: it's only temporary. He's about to launch you into a
Speaker 4: new level. Now, don't let it sour you. Why did
Speaker 4: this company do me wrong? Why did these people leave
Speaker 4: me out? It wasn't their choice. It was God closing
Speaker 4: the door. God was moving them. It was God stopping
Speaker 4: the mana. God told the Israelites, you don't need this
Speaker 4: manna anymore. There's provision all around you. They were so
Speaker 4: close to the promised land. There was all kinds of
Speaker 4: food available. But if God had kept giving them manna,
Speaker 4: they would have missed the abundance that belonged to them.
Speaker 4: When the manna ceases in your life, like with them,
Speaker 4: you're so close to your promised land. The provision is
Speaker 4: already there. Now you have to cook your own food.
Speaker 4: God's not going to do this for you. You can't
Speaker 4: stay where it's familiar, what you're used to, what's easy.
Speaker 4: You have to stretch, get out of your comfort zone,
Speaker 4: take some steps of faith. There is greatness in you.
Speaker 4: You weren't created to live off a manna. Don't have
Speaker 4: a man of mentality. Don't complain when something ceases in
Speaker 4: your life. If it stopped, it wasn't supposed to be permanent.
Speaker 4: It's just a step on the way to your destiny.
Speaker 4: The Israelites had to accept not having any manna meant
Speaker 4: that it was a new day and God was doing
Speaker 4: a new thing. If they would have been sour because
Speaker 4: the Man of ceased, they would have never seen walls
Speaker 4: of Jericho come down. They would have never conquered city
Speaker 4: after city and lived in the land of abundance. Have
Speaker 4: you let what ceased in your life cause you to
Speaker 4: be sour or do you see it as a sign
Speaker 4: that you're about to go into your promised land. When
Speaker 4: the Man of ceases, you have to dig down deep.
Speaker 4: This business may have slowed down, but Lord, I want
Speaker 4: to thank you that new doors are about to open.
Speaker 4: This person walked away. Lord, thank you, you have somebody
Speaker 4: better coming. This marriage is difficult, but Lord, thank you. Peace.
Speaker 4: Joy restoration is on the way. The closer the Israelites
Speaker 4: got to the Promised Land, the less God did for
Speaker 4: them when they were in slavery. God sent plagues on
Speaker 4: the Pharaoh. Israelites didn't have to do anything. They just
Speaker 4: sat back and watched. God changed the Pharaoh's mind. God
Speaker 4: parted the Red Sea. God drowned their enemies in the desert.
Speaker 4: God gave them water out of a rock. God gave
Speaker 4: them quell to eat. On and on. They saw the
Speaker 4: hand of God manna every morning. But when they were
Speaker 4: about to go into the Promised Land, God said, now
Speaker 4: I want you to cook your own food. I'll bring
Speaker 4: the walls down, but you have to march around them
Speaker 4: seven times. I'll defeat your enemies, but you have to
Speaker 4: go in and possess the land. As they got closer,
Speaker 4: they had to grow up. God expected them to stand
Speaker 4: on their own two feet to encourage themselves to fight
Speaker 4: off the fear. He was saying, the day is over
Speaker 4: when I'm going to bring you the manna. The provision
Speaker 4: is all around. I've brought you this far. I fought
Speaker 4: all your battles. I gave you breakfast every morning. But
Speaker 4: for this new level to enter into this place of abundance,
Speaker 4: you have to step up. With the Promised Land comes
Speaker 4: a new level of responsibility. Maybe in the past you've
Speaker 4: relied on other people to keep you encouraged, cheered up.
Speaker 4: God is going to begin to wean those people away
Speaker 4: at some point that manner is going to cease, not
Speaker 4: because God doesn't love you, but he wants you to
Speaker 4: stand on your own. You can't become who you were
Speaker 4: created to be always depending on somebody else. You don't
Speaker 4: need that crutch. Start encouraging yourself all through the day.
Speaker 4: I am strong in the Lord. Something good is going
Speaker 4: to happen to me. God being for me is more
Speaker 4: than the world being against me. To enter your promised land,
Speaker 4: you have to cook your own food. Some of the
Speaker 4: things God has done for you in the past, having
Speaker 4: people there to encourage you, causing everything to fall into place,
Speaker 4: that's not going to continue. If God kept doing everything
Speaker 4: for us, we wouldn't see the abundance all around. You
Speaker 4: may wonder why certain things seem more difficult. Raising your
Speaker 4: children is not as easy at work, It's more complicated
Speaker 4: in your finances. You're working harder for the same income,
Speaker 4: staying courage, you're cooking your own food. You're about to
Speaker 4: enter into your promised land. That's when things will shift
Speaker 4: in your favor. That's when you'll see increase promotion favor
Speaker 4: like you've never seen. But we have to pass this
Speaker 4: test of not falling apart. When the manner ceases when
Speaker 4: things are not coming as easily as they used to.
Speaker 4: Take it as a compliment. You're growing. God is saying,
Speaker 4: I don't have to keep feeding you manna. I don't
Speaker 4: have to sustain you off this temporary provision. You're getting
Speaker 4: stronger to where you can handle the fullness of what
Speaker 4: I have in store. Before the Israelites could enter the
Speaker 4: Promised Land, they had to say goodbye to the familiar,
Speaker 4: Goodbye to manna that they had had forty years. Imagine
Speaker 4: when it stopped coming. They could have been discouraged, lost
Speaker 4: their passion. Instead, they said, fine, we'll go get our
Speaker 4: own food. They went out and found all kinds of corn, grain, wheat.
Speaker 4: It was all available. Some people never succeed because they're
Speaker 4: not willing to say goodbye to the familiar, Goodbye to
Speaker 4: a friendship that's holding them back, Goodbye to job where
Speaker 4: they're not fulfilled, or goodbye to old mindsets to limited thinking.
Speaker 4: When the manna ceases, that friendship is not feeding you anymore.
Speaker 4: It's just pulling you down, making you more negative. If
Speaker 4: you're not willing to say goodbye, you'll miss your promised land.
Speaker 4: When you know you're supposed to take a step of
Speaker 4: faith and teach that class. Start your business, write that book,
Speaker 4: move into that new neighborhood. Don't stay where it's comfortable.
Speaker 4: You can't play it safe your whole life and become
Speaker 4: who you were created to be. God is the one
Speaker 4: who put the desires in you. God is the one
Speaker 4: that caused the manna to cease. It was good for
Speaker 4: a season, but you weren't made to live off a manna.
Speaker 4: You have to say goodbye to the familiar if you're
Speaker 4: going to keep moving forward. It doesn't mean that people
Speaker 4: are bad, but everyone is not supposed to be in
Speaker 4: your life. And when God closes a door, the longer
Speaker 4: we hold on, the more miserable we're going to be.
Speaker 4: When the manner stops for that certain position, you know
Speaker 4: you're supposed to step up. You've got bigger things in you,
Speaker 4: but you're afraid. The problem is the grace for that
Speaker 4: old position is not going to be there. God has
Speaker 4: moved on. The favor is waiting for you at your
Speaker 4: next assignment. You have to stretch, get out of your
Speaker 4: comfort zone. If you'll say goodbye to the familiar, you'll
Speaker 4: see the new things that God has in store. This
Speaker 4: is what I did. I worked behind the scenes here
Speaker 4: at Lakewood for seventeen years. I thought that's what I
Speaker 4: do the rest of my life. I was happy and fulfilled.
Speaker 4: But in nineteen ninety nine my father went to be
Speaker 4: with the Lord, and everything changed for me. I knew
Speaker 4: I was supposed to step up and pastor the church,
Speaker 4: but I liked being behind the se I was comfortable,
Speaker 4: didn't want to have to get out in front of people.
Speaker 4: When my father was alive, it was easy, like with
Speaker 4: the children of Israel. The Mana came to me every morning.
Speaker 4: But when Daddy passed, it was like the Manna ceased.
Speaker 4: He was gone. Nothing I could do to bring him back.
Speaker 4: Sometimes God will close a door no matter how much
Speaker 4: we don't like it. It's not going to reopen. The
Speaker 4: good news is God never ceases the manna unless he
Speaker 4: has greater provision coming. He never closes the door if
Speaker 4: he's not going to open up another door. But too
Speaker 4: often we're trying to hold onto old manna, old friendships,
Speaker 4: old attitudes, old positions. When God ceases that manna, it
Speaker 4: means he's about to do a new thing. You have
Speaker 4: to let go of the old. What's interesting is the
Speaker 4: manna God gave the Israelites was only good for one day.
Speaker 4: They could gather up enough for three or four days,
Speaker 4: but in twenty four hours it would spoil. It wouldn't last.
Speaker 4: When we try to hold on to old manna. What
Speaker 4: God used to do. A friendship that was good for
Speaker 4: a season, but not now, a job where we're not fulfilled.
Speaker 4: All that manna is spoiled. You're not growing. It's not
Speaker 4: feeding you anymore. Maybe in your career, what used to
Speaker 4: challenge you doesn't challenge you anymore. You hear God telling
Speaker 4: you to stretch, to take steps of faith. You wonder
Speaker 4: why you're not fulfilled, why you're not growing. It's because
Speaker 4: that manna is old. God has freshness, He's a god
Speaker 4: of new beginnings. Yes, the manna was fine for a season.
Speaker 4: It brought you to the Promised Land. It sustained you
Speaker 4: while you were learning. But at some point the manna
Speaker 4: is going to cease. That's when you have to prepare
Speaker 4: your own food. You have to step up to who
Speaker 4: you were created to be. When my father passed, I
Speaker 4: was afraid, but I did what I'm asking you to do.
Speaker 4: I got out of my comfort zone. I said goodbye
Speaker 4: to the familiar I stepped up to pastor the church.
Speaker 4: God has taken me further than I ever imagined. But
Speaker 4: had my father not gone to be with the Lord,
Speaker 4: had that manner not ceased, I would have never made
Speaker 4: it into my promised land. You don't have to lose
Speaker 4: a loved one, but there will be times that God
Speaker 4: ceases good things in your life. You don't feel like
Speaker 4: you have the favor that you used to stay in courage.
Speaker 4: That means you're about to step up to a new level.
Speaker 4: God is taking you from glory to glory. What you
Speaker 4: were satisfied with was one level of glory. It was
Speaker 4: just temporary provision. God's about to take it to a
Speaker 4: new level of glory where you see favor an increase
Speaker 4: like you've never seen. God told the prophet Elijah to
Speaker 4: go down to the brook Cherith and the ravens would
Speaker 4: feed him there. Elijah arrived at the brook, he had
Speaker 4: provision week after week. He didn't have to go get
Speaker 4: the food every day. Like clockwork, the ravens came to him.
Speaker 4: He had home delivery before Domino's. I'm sure he thought,
Speaker 4: it doesn't get any better than this. God, you treat
Speaker 4: me so good. For months, the ravens kept coming. He
Speaker 4: was blessed. He knew God's favor was on him. He
Speaker 4: was comfortable. But one day the brook dried up and
Speaker 4: the ravens quit coming. God said, Elijah, now I want
Speaker 4: you to go to the city of Zirapath. I have
Speaker 4: a widow that's going to take care of you. Elijah
Speaker 4: could have thought that couldn't be God. He's blessed me here.
Speaker 4: I've seen his favor almost say where I am. He
Speaker 4: could have held onto the all. The problem is the
Speaker 4: brook dried up, the ravens quit coming. Why it was
Speaker 4: temporary provision. Elijah went to the city of Zeropath. That's
Speaker 4: where his ministry began. He saw some of the greatest
Speaker 4: miracles ever recorded in the scripture. It's not a coincidence
Speaker 4: that it happened after the brook dried up, after the
Speaker 4: man as seised, when it looked like he didn't have
Speaker 4: God's favor and blessing like he used to. Actually that
Speaker 4: was a sign he was about to step in to
Speaker 4: a new level of his destiny. Are you discouraged because
Speaker 4: the brook dried up? Are you frustrated because the man
Speaker 4: as seised? Things are not happening like they used to
Speaker 4: What you don't realize is God is positioning you for increase.
Speaker 4: It looks like a setback, but really it's a setup.
Speaker 4: He's about to do something that you've never seen. The
Speaker 4: brook drying up is not the end. It's a sign
Speaker 4: that greater provision is coming, greater opportunity, greater influence. Don't
Speaker 4: complain about the brook. Get ready for the new things
Speaker 4: God is about to do. Thank him. When you don't
Speaker 4: see any sign of water, keep believing even when the
Speaker 4: doors closed, keep stretching, doing the right thing. The brook
Speaker 4: may have dried up, but what you can't see is
Speaker 4: a flood of God's favor is headed your way. In
Speaker 4: two thousand and six, a friend of mine had a
Speaker 4: dream to put the Bible on computer. He developed a
Speaker 4: website where the Bible was available and you could write
Speaker 4: notes out to the side, like a traditional print Bible.
Speaker 4: You could pull out passages and send to other people,
Speaker 4: a lot of features that had not been available. He
Speaker 4: thought it was a good idea, but the first month
Speaker 4: only twenty thousand people visited the site. And that was fine,
Speaker 4: but they were hoping for a lot more. There was
Speaker 4: very little engagement. He and his team has spent a
Speaker 4: lot of time and money. After a year, they were
Speaker 4: ready to shut it down. It wasn't worth the effort.
Speaker 4: Two weeks before they pulled the plug, he had another idea.
Speaker 4: What if instead of making a website with the Bible,
Speaker 4: they made the Bible available on a mobile phone. That way,
Speaker 4: everybody would have the Bible where they went. He was
Speaker 4: a little concerned about how such a big book could
Speaker 4: fit on a tiny screen, but something on the inside
Speaker 4: felt right. Two thousand and eight, he and his team
Speaker 4: designed and built a mobile website for the Bible. Not
Speaker 4: long after that, Apple announced the opportunity to develop what
Speaker 4: we now know are apps for our phone. My friend
Speaker 4: submitted his app. It was approved and available the first
Speaker 4: day the app store launched on Apple. They were hoping
Speaker 4: for eighty thousand downloads the first year, but in three
Speaker 4: days they had eighty three thousand downloads. Today, the U
Speaker 4: version Bible app, developed by my friend Bobby Gruenwald, has
Speaker 4: been downloaded on over four hundred million phones in every
Speaker 4: country of the world. What's interesting is the success came
Speaker 4: after the brook dried up, after the Mana ceased, when
Speaker 4: Bobby was tempted to give up. Sometimes God will shut
Speaker 4: the door to push us into our promised land. He
Speaker 4: ceases the Mana because it's only temporary provision. Yes, it
Speaker 4: could sustain us, but what God has in mind is
Speaker 4: much bigger, much better. Now, maybe the Mana has ceased
Speaker 4: in some area of your life, you're tempted to give
Speaker 4: up on a dream, lose your passion. Like with him,
Speaker 4: it means greater provision is coming. The brook drying up
Speaker 4: is God getting you in position for something that you've
Speaker 4: never seen. Now, this is not the time to get discouraged.
Speaker 4: This is the time to get ready, stir your faith up.
Speaker 4: You are close to your promised land. If you will
