3. 6 Stages
6 Stages to Discovering Your Larger Story

5. Sometimes our dreams seem
like they are in a holding
pattern.
Sometimes we need help to
understand what God is doing
in our life and how to take the
next step.

6. Sometimes we go through seasons of
adversity that seem to thwart the
purposes of God in our life.
Is that what is happening?
Or are these times meant to prepare us
for the ultimate assignment He has
created us for?

7. Realize Your Dream
For the creation waits in eager expectation
for the children of God to be revealed. -Romans 8:19
Visions often die before
they become a reality.

15. For they indeed for a few
days (our fathers)
chastened us as
seemed best to them, but
He for our profit,
that we may be partakers of
His holiness. Now no
chastening seems to be
joyful for the present, but
painful; nevertheless,
afterward it yields the
peaceable fruit of
righteousness to those who
have been trained by it.
– Hebrews 12:10,11

17. The depth and width of the
adversity corresponds
to the level of call and the ministry
He plans through your life.
i.e. Moses, Paul, Joseph

19. Spiritual Deposits
Messes into Messages and Messengers
I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you
may know that I, the Lord, Who calls you by your name, Am the God of Israel (Isa 45:3).
Jesus Paul John Jeremiah John Bunyan Nelson Mandela

20. While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the
guards, the word of the Lord came to him a second time.
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and
unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3

21. “You shall hide them in the
secret place of Your
presence.” Ps 31:20
Job 36:15: He delivers the afflicted by their affliction,
and opens their ear in oppression.

22. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the
daylight; what is whispered in your ear,
proclaim from the rooftops. Mt 10:27

23. Receiving Manna
in the Desert
And Abraham called the name of
that place Jehovah jireh: as it is said
to this day, in the mount of
the Lord it shall be seen.
Gen 22:14

24. Manna: God’s Provision
• God put a self-destruct feature in the manna: If anyone tried
to gather more than a day’s worth (except on the day before
Sabbath), it would become putrid and full of maggots (see
Exod. 16:20).
• The message here is clear: God was teaching the Israelites
to trust Him for their provision—one day at a time. An
Israelite who hoarded manna demonstrated that he didn’t
trust God to provide for him tomorrow and the next day.
• He took away the ability to earn a living!
They tried to gain something
God never intended them to have.

4 Dimensions of Provision
LOGO
Blockages?

27. For even when we were with you, we gave you
this rule:
"If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
- 2 Thessalonians 3:10

28. To have a test-imony you
have to have a ”test”.
Remember how the LORD your God led you
all the way in the wilderness these forty years,
to humble and test you in order to know what
was in your heart, whether or not you would
keep his commands. - Dt 8:2

29. Provision in a Season of Draught
1 Kings 17- Elijah
– Brook of Cherith – fed by
ravens
– Brook dried up
– Go to widow in great need
– ”Give me your last meal”
– Flour & oil will not dry up
until famine is over – she
believes & obeys
– Moral: Serve those out
of faith & obedience for
your own provision

30. What do you have in
your hand?
2 Kings 4: Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars….

31. What resources do you
have you can monetize?
(make a list)
• Physical assets
• Relationships
• Unused skills
• Alternative career path

32. Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication,
with thanksgiving, let your requests be
made known to God; and the peace of
God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.
- Phil. 4:6-8

33. “I could have solved your
financial problem, but
God wouldn’t let me.”
- Gunnar Olson

34. Understanding authority relating
to provision & blockages
• Jesus spoke to the fig tree
• Moses told to speak to the rock – power of his staff
• Gunnar Olson plastic bags
• Os speaks to books
• Pamela’s house
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be
removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his
heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will
have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things
you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you
will have them.- Mk 11:23-26

35. Cyprus Conference Provision
1998
“God had to remove your finances to
reserve the reward He has for you in
heaven.”

36. And my God will meet all
your needs according to
the riches of his glory in
Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

37. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; in
all your ways submit to him, and he will
make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5,6

38. Promised Land Was Received Out of
Obedience Vs Sweat & Toil
39 battles
“So I gave you a land on which you did
not toil and cities you did not build;
and you live in them and eat from
vineyards and olive groves that you
did not plant.”
- Joshua 24:12-13
Barbados
NYC Venture Capitalist

39. God often told people to
do unusual things to
receive what they
needed.
Elisha, widow oil lamps
Elijah & widow – “give me your
last meal”
Peter – coin in mouth

40. God directs
moving objects
We often don’t experience the
faithfulness of God until we must
depend completely on Him.

41. Provision Always
Follows Obedience
“Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the
net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but
even with so many the net was not torn.”
John 21:11-12 (LK 5:4)
Came during their work time. Peter’s response:
Recommitment. Jesus likes to demonstrate
His power in your work life.

42. Obedience and God’s Timing

• Go to Barbados
• NY Investment Banker

PROVISlON FOLLOWS OBEDIENCE
Do not despise these small beginnings, for
the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the
plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”- Zechariah 4:10

43. Closing Any Open Doors
City of Ai
Blockages
can be due to
open doors
that need to
be closed

44. Sometimes God removes our resources
to deliver us from a stronghold to reveal
His faithfulness
“We don’t have enough money for that.”
Mother, 14 years old

45. “Those who seek the Lord shall not
lack any good thing.” – Ps 23:10b
Faithful is He who calls us and He
will do it.- 2 Thess 5:24

46. Isa 58
If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your darkness shall be as the noonday.
The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

47. Those from among you
shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many
generations; And you shall be called the
Repairer of the Breach,the Restorer of Streets
to Dwell In.
Isa 58:10-12
