I Take Care of My Own

Pastor George Pearsons – Sunday, May 22, 2022

A. The News Has Been Relentless

1. “The supply chain bottlenecks around the world have caused record shortages of many products that American consumers are used to having readily available.
   That includes food, household goods, electronics, automobiles—supplies of every kind, including baby formula. Prices are increasing on goods and services, including gas at the pump. Experts have warned that problems will likely get worse before they get better.”
2. Three questions:
3. How many are faithful tithers?
4. How many are generous sowers?
5. How many have a covenant of prosperity with God?
6. Then, you are exempt from:
7. Supply chain disruptions.
8. Severe shortages.
9. Extreme scarcity.
10. We may be in this world, but we are not of it.
11. We are not subject to, nor do we live under the dominion, rule, control, or influence of whichever way the economy is going.
12. We are set apart from the world’s system.
13. We don’t just survive in times like these—we thrive.
14. While praying over the current economic conditions, the Lord spoke a very clearword to my heart for you. He said…

“I TAKE CARE OF MY OWN.”

B. Psalm 37:18-19—God Will Take Good Care of Us in Tough Times

1. Verses 18-19 (NLT) “Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough.”

   your hair is gray. I made you and will care for you; I will give you help and rescue you.”
3. Psalms 121:5-8 (NLT) “The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.”

“THE LORD TAKES CARE OF ME IN SPITE OF THE ECONOMY.”

C. Psalm 100:3—We Belong to Him

1. Verse 3 (GNT) “Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him; we are his people, we are his flock.”
2. Psalm 73:23-24 (NLT) “Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.”
3. Isaiah 43:1-3 (NLT) “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.
   When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”
4. Isaiah 43:1-3 (MSG) “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you.”
5. Psalm 94:14 (GNT) “The Lord will not abandon his people; he will not desert those who belong to him.”

“I BELONG TO GOD. HE CALLS ME BY NAME. I AM HIS. HE WILL NEVER ABANDON ME.”

D. Deuteronomy 28—We are Redeemed from the Curse of Lack

1. Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
2. Redeemed (GK) = ransomed, bought back, rescued from loss
3. Deuteronomy 28:15-68—The Curse of the Law
4. Verse 38 (NLT) “You will plant much but harvest little, for locusts will eat your crops.”
5. Verse 48 (NLT) “You will be left hungry, thirsty, naked, and lacking in everything.”

7. Verse 2 (NKJV) “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtakeyou, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.”

9. Verse 11 (NKJV) “The Lord will grant you plenty of goods.”
10. Verse 11 (AMPC) “The Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity.”
11. THE BLESSING does not depend on the state of the economy.

“I AM REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF LACK.”

E. Psalm 23:1—There is No Lack in God

1. Verse 1 (AMPC) “The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.”
2. Psalm 84:11 (TPT) “For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all.”
3. Psalm 34:9-10 (NLT) “Fear the Lord, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.”
4. Deuteronomy 2:7 (NLT) “For the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you have done. He has watched your every step through this great wilderness.
   During these forty years, the Lord your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.”
5. Psalm 37:25 (NIV) “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.”

“THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. HE FEEDS ME. HE GUIDES ME. HE SHIELDS ME. I SHALL NOT LACK!”

“Something is coming to the economy. Whatever it may be—if a person is operating in kingdom principles, it will be just like they are in the ark at the time of the flood of Noah. The worse conditions got, the higher Noah rose. The worse things get, the higher kingdom people will rise in prominence in the earth.” –Pastor Bill Winston

F. Philippians 4:19—God is Our Supply Chain, Our Source and Supreme Provider

1. Verse 19 (AMPC) “And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
2. “My God will supply your needs so completely that He will eliminate all until you are so full, you have no more capacity to hold anything else. He will supply all your needs until you are totally filled, packed full and overflowing to the point of bursting at the seams and spilling over.” – Rick Renner Translation
3. 1 Corinthians 8:6 (AMPC) “Yet for us there is only one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things.”
4. God is our Source. Not man. Not the government.
5. “El Shaddai will demonstrate provisional miracles that are contrary to natural events.”–Creflo Dollar

“GOD IS MY SUPPLY CHAIN. GOD IS MY SOURCE. GOD IS MY SUPREME PROVIDER.”

G. My Dear Sons and Daughters,

During these times, I am going to take care of you.

If you will believe Me for the miraculous, I will provide for you what is lacking for others. I will fill your home, your business, your ministry, your wallet, your purse, your bank account, your car and everything else that needs to be filled.

I am “The Filler.” I have a never-ending supply that will never dry up. I am not impoverished, nor do I have just a limited supply. Supplies are not limited in My Kingdom. I have it all and want to get it to you. I have more than enough.

I will locate it in the earth and will get it to you. Don’t accept it when they say, “I’m sorry, We are out of what you need,” No! Just use your faith and align your mouth with My ability to do for you what is needed in this natural time of lack.

I will take care of you.

Don’t worry when costs rise. I will make sure you have more than enough to pay for whatever you need. I am your, “Supernatural Supply Chain.” I am the God written about in Isaiah 45:3. “I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls

you by your name” (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).

I will give you concealed treasures. I will reveal to you My hidden stockpiles. I will take care of anyone and everyone who calls upon My Name and exercises their faith for the impossible. My people do not lack in times of shortage. Just look at Isaac. He reaped a 100-fold in a time of famine (Genesis 26).

Yes, I will supply your every need. But you know Me. I will give you more than you need. I will give you exceedingly, abundantly more than you could ever ask, think, or dream. I will give you so much so that you will have plenty left over to help others.

I take care of My own. You are Mine. And I am yours.

Your Loving Father
