Turn with me, if you would, this evening to the gospel account of John, chapter 10, and let's believe God together.

We talked this morning about the fact, the Bible fact, that God is our provider.

Amen.

And Jehovah Jira, our provider. Amen. And Jehovah Jira, or Yere, as some scholars pronounce it, meaning the Lord who sees.

And we talked about the word provision that it means before seeing.

And God is the God who sees before the need knows

what's coming up and he is the God of preparation amen works out all the details in

advance he is before it he presees it he prepares prepares for it, and he provides. Hallelujah. And we need to have

faith that God is our provider, just like we have faith that he's our Savior and our

healer, and we need to hear about it. We need to feed ourselves. Just because you got excited a few

years ago that God would prosper you, that's not

enough. You've got to keep feeding your faith. If you don't, you'll get cold, it'll get weak,

your vision will begin to diminish. This is not the only thing you need to hear about. You need

to hear about healing. Amen? You need to hear about the gifts of the spirit. You need to hear about

any number of things. Why? To keep your faith built up in all areas so that your vision grows and that you progress. And so I'm just stirred up in my spirit. Let's believe God for utterance and for you to get stirred up, all of us to get stirred up together,

and our faith to rise up.

Because I just sense in my spirit that both us, Phyllis and myself in our ministry,

and you have diminished a little bit, cooled a little bit in our fervor and our vision and our faith for prosperity.

I didn't say we'd give it up.

I didn't say we'd turn from it.

I said, cooled a little bit.

Just not as excited about some things as we were at one time.
