Hello, my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset.

It's time for you and for me to get our minds aligned with the truth of God when I ask

you to be thinking about a certain word as we are going through our passage today and

that word is generosity.

about it in correlation to your life.

This is Acts chapter 11, verse 27 through 30.

named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over

all the world and this took place in the days of Claudius.

living in Judea and they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and

Saul.

Now that's a pretty simple little account of something that took place but it's got

some supernatural twist to it in a couple of ways.

Number one, this prophet Agabus stood up and foretold by the Holy Spirit that there would

be a famine coming and so that's supernatural twist number one, they get revelation about

something that's coming so that they can prepare but notice what preparation they make.

They don't start hoarding things, they don't start gathering things for their own use,

they think outwardly, they think in a generous way toward those in the land of Judea.
