We have all heard that God is a provider, but many times when we get the image of that in our minds, it’s like a father giving us an allowance versus the King of the universe who is preparing everything around us to be stewarded with us. He has all the resources we will need until the coming of Jesus to get the whole job done in fullness.
There is no lack when it comes to walking out our destiny and purpose, and there are creative solutions, finances and resources that is the Father’s good pleasure to give us until His return to steward.
I have had some recurring spiritual impressions that some of you are going after huge projects that are going to require a level of provision that just doesn’t seem possible. God is doing this in so many ways that we can’t even fathom or imagine it, but today I wanted to focus on some of the impressions that I had that might help you wrap your faith into more of what God has for you.
The 4 main areas I was seeing the impossible become possible because of God’s provision were:
1. Real estate – I feel like a lot of these are real estate, and the thing that has kept you engaged in projects that you could never apprehend without a miracle, is prophetic bread crumbs that God is using to lead you into greater faith. Proverbs 24:3-4: “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.” Deuteronomy 8:9: “a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.”
2. Business projects – I felt like there are people right now who you have been stepping out on a limb and it looks almost hopeless, except that you have gotten here by the direction of God inside of you. Maybe you need an infusion of finances, a certain connection, technology, team members or strategic partnerships, but there are anointed business projects that can change the course of history right now and are being set up for the next Jesus Revolution or Jesus people movement.
Maybe you have been driving so far forward without the results or the accumulation that you were expected and you are wondering if it’s time to give up, but God wants to come through as a marvelous provider and He who authored this work wants to finish it and sometimes we just have to not jump ship before we get anchored in. Some of you have been like Noah, sending out the doves to see if the land that was promised is near. I saw banking relationships, investors, business partners, digital and tech partners, agricultural miracles and other types of areas that are being stacked for the kingdom to have a domino effect for the world to know Jesus.
- Proverbs 16:3: “Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.”
- Deuteronomy 8:18: “But remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your ancestors, as it is today.”
- Proverbs 22:29: “Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.”

3. Ministries and churches – For some of you, God has shown you a ministry to set up. You have been in the hard days, the part where it’s more work than fruit, and plowing is stronger than reaping. I kept getting this picture of ministries that are going to be multiplied but it is taking a special kind of maturing to carry the weight of what God has. There are new church movements that are going to emerge in what looks to be overnight, but the stories of their leaders will show you it was a very intentional process of sacrifice and surrendering to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. There are ministries that are going to expand what publishing has done in the past, what music has been seen, and a connection to new models that we haven’t fully imagined yet but we have been prepared for.
- Matthew 28:19-20: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
- Acts 20:28: “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.”
- 1 Corinthians 12:28: “And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance and of different kinds of tongues.”
4. Entertainment – For other people its entertainment projects, making a movie or a series or an attraction that just doesn’t seem possible with your current list of contacts or experience level but something of God’s heart is in you saying “Keep Going.”
- Exodus 31:3-5: “I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of crafts.”
- Psalm 33:3: “Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.”
- Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Your path may be fraught with trials, but remember you’re never alone. God is walking beside you, guiding you, equipping you and cheering you on. His promises are your anchors, so hold onto them and let them kindle your determination to keep going.
